Report locale, subtemplates and Data Model

Hi,
I have the following situation:
We have 4 templates according to language, with french the default language:
- FR: template.rtf
- NL: template_nl.rtf
- DE: template_de.rtf
- EN: template_en.rtf
The report locale is enough for BI Publisher to select the correct template, so that's OK.
Some data from our database is also based on locale (eg street names and cities).
Question 1: is it possible to use the current locale as parameter for the (sql) data model in some way (eg by using a specific parameter name)? For now we set the report locale to the correct language AND we send that same value through as a parameter. It would be cleaner to just set the report locale and be able to use that value in some way.
Question 2: all of the above templates have a footer that's being reused, each also share the same data model, but the data is again based on the current locale.
so: footer.rtf, footer_nl.rtf, footer_de.rtf and footer_en.rtf. Do I need to import all of these in their respective files or will localisation work (I doubt it)?
Question 3: Is there a way to implicitly pass all parameters that were passed to the main template, also pass to the subtemplates? (eg LANG parameter is passed to template_nl.rtf, who can use it in his data model, is there a way to automatically make LANG available for footer_nl.rtf's data model or do I need to explicitly pass it as a parameter in the <?call-template: footer?>) - again if the report locale is available in some way to the data model, it would be easy.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Probably the easiest would be to use an OnDemand Process and some AJAX to pull your data into the extjs object.
Here's an example of an OnDemand Process.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11
For data the easiest at the moment would be probably to use the Oracle XML functions to generate your data in XML and use that as your data feed.
You might want to take a look the new Interactive Reports included in APEX 3.1, while extjs has alot of functions there is a bit of setup involved , while the Interactive Reports all you need is a SQL query http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/irrs.html
You should search the forum for extjs as there has been quite a few successful integrations of APEX and extjs / YUI / jQuery etc.

Carl

Links for SQL Developer and Data Modeler not working?

Hi folks,
I tried to access the new SQL Developer and Data Modeler links posted in the April 1 message (and on the Oracle site) from a couple of machines with no luck (empty zip files) - is there an update to the links?
Thanks!

In Firefox zero length zip. In IE loses connection to downloads.oracle.com.

Authorizations for WEBI report based on BPC data model

Hi All,
We are strugelling with setting up authorisations for the reporting on BPC data model.
We created Bex query on top of Multiprovider that consists of BPC cube. The Bex query is source for WEBI output. The authorisations has been set up on BPC data model (cube) in BPC application but they are not passed nor to Bex query nor to Webi. Example: The query is build on top of OPEX BPC data model, this data model is restricted based on Oranizational Unit. My test user is allowed to see only Org Unit = 'Australia' in the OPEX BPC data model, however when I'm running the report I can see absolutely everything.
We are not connecting/using any BI cubes itself for this reporting. We are intrested only in the WEBI report based on BPC data models.
We were trying to use BPC data model (without any extra settings) as the source for BEx report, we were also trying to use virtual BPC data model as the source for Bex transient query - but non of these have helped.
Can you please advise how the authorisations should be set up for WEBI reporting on BPC data models?

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

Does anyone have a clue?

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Padmanaban V

Integration of SQL Developer and Data Modelling - concerns.

In aanother thread about OSDM connections, I commented that the development team for OSDM and the core product seem to separate and Sue responded.
Sue Harper wrote:
A clarification of the Data Modeling feedback application and this forum. The developers are part of the SQL Developer development team, but as for all our features, each developer has a focus area, so the Data Modeling developers will tend to answer those questions. The reason I said that they seem to be separate as that ODSM seems to be put together completely differently. I hit another example today. I downloaded a fresh copy of osdm without JDK. On starting it up, it complained it couldn't find a jre and quit. There was no prompt to specify the location as there is with SQLDevloper and there are no configuration files to edit.
SQLDeveloper already has issues with different components doing the same differently. The number of problems has been reduced but it has taken some time and I am concerned that the introduction of a large body of new code will cause things to revert to the bad old days in terms of quality.
I may or may not end up using OSDM, but I want to have the choice. I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat. The migration components are a case in point. The "migration workbench" ought to be a completely separate add-in rather than a core component and I hope this is down with OSDM.

Jim,
"I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat." Absolutely. and we agree. SQL Developer Data Modeling will be a separate standalone product so that users who don't want to use SQL Developer, but who do want to model will have that option. The nice thing about an integrated solution is that if you are doing database work and then want to do some modeling, you are in one tool. Our current plans are to release the standalone product in the initial production release and then follow that with the extension to SQL Developer depending on the customer demand. We do plan to release a read only viewer as part of SQL Developer 2.0. This will be an extension, which like the Migration extension, you can switch off. and from your note, you'd prefer the reverse, that these new extensions are pieces you choose to include and not choose to exclude.
I'm not certain we'll get agreement on this, but I'll be interested. Just this morning I was updating a thread were the request was for all the pieces to be there working out of the box.

Flex and Data Model plugin

Where can i find documentation about the (LiveCycle) Data Model plugin for Flash Builder 4.6? And then specific about the filter option's criteria and query.

Thanks Matt,
One question: I see this code:
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
private var conn:LocalConnection;
private function InitConn():void{
conn = new LocalConnection();
conn.client = this;
try {
conn.connect("taskConnection");
} catch (error:ArgumentError) {
trace("Can't connect.");
Where is "taskConnection"? Is this an ODBC type connection?

Forum for SQL Developer and Data Modeler?

I searched now for a while all the available forums but did not found a special forum for the Oracle SQL Developer tool.
Where do I post questions about it?
Is there another, separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler?

Discoverer and Data Modeler Integration

Discoverer has the ability to load tables or views into BA from Designer Dictionary. Is there such an ability with Data Modeler or Oracle SQL Developer?

Hello
Interesting question. As far as I know this is not possible. You might want to ask Oracle Support though as it may be something that has not been tried yet works.

Report Preview Tab and data loading

I have 2 questions:
When I first started developing a report, when I opened the file I had both the design and preview tabs displayed. It seems after I downloaded and viewed 1 of the sample reports, the preview tab disappeared (tho, it's not obvious the 2 are related). I checked the box under Options/Layout/Display Preview Panel, but it did not seem to help. Is there something else I missed?
The other question, and this may have an effect on my 1st question, is that when I open my report file, the database records are not automatically loaded (thus, nothing to preview at that point). Is there a way to set an automatic log on to the database so that the load time happens at the beginning and not when I actually want to preview results?
Thanks in advance....Steph

Don,
Thanks for the response. I tried what you suggested and it does not seem to work all the time. There may be something else that I need to consider.
I was wondering...when I do the "Save Data with Report", does it save ONLY the data? Or does it save some intelligent connection back to the database? Also, is this function the same as the one listed under Options/Reporting? I selected the one on the File menu (as you suggest), but it doesn't seem to change the selection on the Options/Reporting window.
Apologies for my attempt at a "2-fer-1". I only did that because I believed the 2 might be related...maybe not. I'll repost as a separate issue/concern.
Cheers...Steph

Report Designer - Chart and data

Hi,
I have a query section. In one of the cell, I have a chart. I have the data in other columns on the side of the chart. When I execute the report designer, I get the chart and the then the data below on the side. When I create a pdf, the data moves up to the side of the chart. I want the web view look like the pdf view where the data is on the side of the chart. Is it possible? Why is the web view and the pdf view different?
Best regards,
Jai
