Report Source from Column in Table

I'm probably just not using the correct search words so pardon me if this has already been answered here.
I have a table has a list of reports and the SQL required to generate that report. So page 500 executes this report source:
select t.reptid, t.short_name, t.long_name
from reports t
where t.rept_inst = :F104_CURINST
and t.rept_time_frame = :F104_CURTERM
and t.submission = :F104_CURSUBM
I have a column link on t.reptid that sets P520_RPTID. I then want page 520 to display the results of the sql stored in the sql_source column so I have a Before Header Process that sets the contents of P520_SQL using this source:
SELECT sql_string
from univdb.reports
where rports_id = :P520_RPTID
The contents of P520_SQL are indeed the sql_string I want:
SELECT * FROM univdb.sites t where t.rept_inst = :F104_CURINST and t.rept_time_frame = :F104_CURTERM and t.submission = :F104_CURSUBM
I thought by setting the source for my Report Region to &P520_SQL. that apex would run the contents of the item and resolve all the substitutions but I get 'not all variables bound'. I tried using :520_SQL also but that returned an 'invalid function'.
Thanks for any help you can give me,

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your reply. I'm finally get back to this problem. I tried your suggestion but still only get back the string that's in my Oracle table w/out the variable substitutions being made.
In other words, the actual contents of my field in the table are:
select t.rept_inst, t.campus_cd, t.base_yr,t.rept_time_frame,
t.site_nbr, t.bldg_nbr, t.be_cd_pom, t.pom_bud_factor
from univdb.bldg_plnt_oper_maint t
where t.rept_inst = '&F104_CURINST.'
and t.rept_time_frame = ' &F104_CURTERM.'
order by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
and I want APEX to resolve the & variables and display the rows that result from this select. If I hard code the & variables in the data the query works but I want this to be dynamic depending on who is logged on. Otherwise I have to have a row in my REPORTS table for every combination of F104_CURINST and F104_CURTERM.
Thanks for pondering,
...elsa

How to run reports directly from R/3 tables

We are about to implement BW but the client wants to run temporary reports directly off R/3 tables. How can this be accomplished? Do we just use business content or r there other ways?

How to get source from ListSelectionListener on Table?????????

hi there
i have about three JTables in my application, i have added ListSelectionListener to these tables to see if any selection was made on them.
Table1.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
ListSelectionModel rowSM = Table1.getSelectionModel();
//add listener to the table selection
rowSM.addListSelectionListener(this);
in the ValueChanged() method, i need to get the selection made on these tables.
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
how do i find out on which table the selection was made?
thank you.

ListSelectionEvent.getSource(): returns an object. Check its type with instanceof :
if(e.getSource() instanceof JTable)
JTable sourceTable=(JTable)e.getSource();
... off you go...

How to add column to report from the same table? Gives error now

Steps to reproduce:
Build a report on a table with easy report, select all columns
Add column to the table
Edit report and add column (one has to click Show Related Tables Only: No to view the same table!)
Report will give error as it will be build as
SELECT ... FROM table1, table1

AH HAAA!!!!
And I was afraid to convert from the "SQL (Structured Query)" to "SQL". Probably because I blew up my other reports...
Thanks!

Report from PL/SQL Table

Thanks for answer to my first question. Now I have another problem.
Is there any way to print a report based on virtual table, which is created during some Pl/SQL procedure and can't be easily decribed by Select statement

SELECT FROM PL/SQL TABLE IN ORACLE REPORTS 6I
The requirement is to populate a table and then select from that table in a report. The typical solution is to
populate a database table, but for situations where that is undesirable there is a way to select from a PL/SQL
table.
For example - for each employee we want to populate a PL/SQL table and then select from that table.
I used the following records in the emp table:
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(123,'Bob','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(321,'Sue','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(234,'Mary','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(623,'Joe','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(621,'Jim','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(634,'Jane','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(723,'Fred','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(721,'Meg','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(734,'Jill','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
=============================================================================================
Step 1: Create a package spec in the report:
PACKAGE pkg_table IS
TYPE t_rec IS RECORD (
field1 NUMBER(6),
field2 VARCHAR2(30));
TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF t_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
gv_tab t_tab;
FUNCTION populate (
p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
END;
Step 2: Create the package body:
PACKAGE BODY pkg_table IS
FUNCTION populate (
p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
     gv_tab.DELETE;
     -- populate table as required - for demo purposes put in anything
     FOR lv_ind IN 1..MOD(p_empno,20) LOOP
          gv_tab(lv_ind).field1 := lv_ind;
          gv_tab(lv_ind).field2 := 'row '||TO_CHAR(lv_ind)||' for emp '||TO_CHAR(p_empno);
     END LOOP;
     RETURN gv_tab.COUNT;
END populate;
END;
Step 3: Create the master query:
SELECT empno,
ename
FROM emp
Step 4: Add a formula column CF_populate to the master query that does:
function CF_populateFormula return Number is
-- for each emp fetched this formula will repopulate the PL/SQL table
-- and return the number of records in the table
begin
return pkg_table.populate(:empno);
end;
Step 5: Create the detail query:
-- we need to join this to the master and then ensure that for each
-- empno there are as many records fetched as there will be
-- records in the PL/SQL table
SELECT e1.empno,rownum
FROM emp e1, emp e2, emp e3
WHERE rownum <= :CF_populate
Step 6: Add formula columns to the detail query for each of the fields in the
PL/SQL table we want to display:
CF_Field1:
function CF_field1Formula return Number is
begin
return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field1;
end;
CF_Field2:
function CF_field2Formula return Varchar2 is
begin
return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field2;
end;
Step 7: Create the repeating frame and layout items to display the formula columns.
=============================================================================================
The same technique can be used to populate a master query. In a report level formula column
CF_Populate populate the PL/SQL table as required. In the master query we just need the rownum:
SELECT rownum
FROM emp, emp, emp
WHERE rownum <= :CF_Populate
Add the formula columns to display Field1 and Field2.

Link to URL from column in report

I still trying to find a way to display a static file on a report page. I have been unsuccessful with using an HTML region using #APP_IMAGES#filename.sh or using the value found in the coulmn: #APP_IMAGES#&P28_SCRIPT.
Now, I've added a link on the column of the report. The column itself contains the URL that I want to go to. For ex. http://sharepoint.bankofamerica.com/sites/GIM2000upgrade/Shared%20Documents/Supporting%20Documents/Scripts/ds_broker_gim.sh
The URL for the Link in the Column Attributes is set to : &SCRIPT_SHAREPOINT_HTML..
When I click on the column, it brings me to the APEX Logon???
I've used this URL in a List Template in a Region on a page as the Target URL and it works fine??
I'm thoroughly confused at this point.
Can anyone offer any assistance with this? It's driving me crazy and holding up any further development I need to get done????
Thank-You

Scott,
Thanks so much and it would be better just to go to the hosted site that i am prototyping. Sorry for the confusion.
What I want to do is to drill-down to the unix script file. I have upload the file: ds_broker_gim.sh to Static files. I want to be able to display the contents of this file after the drill-down from the ASE_AUTOSYS table.
If you logon to my workspace: WIM
UserName: [email protected]
Password: ireland
1. From View Application - select the Application name : CGM
2. Click on the ASE tab bringing you to p.2
3. Click on AUTOSYS tab ( Go to p.30)
4. From the AutoSys Search Select Pulldown - 5. Select 'GIM2_D_DS_CREATEBOKER_UX ' (PS is there a way to do a'smart select to scroll the list as you type?)
6. Click on the column link in Autosys_Script (it should say' /vol01/apps/gim/scripts/ds_broker_gim.sh'
7. Click on the AUTOSYUS_SCRIPT column
8. Brings you to p.28 where I'm various things to get the shared file to display.
Note: I added the field: SCRIPT_FILE to the table AUTOSYS_SCRIPTS as a CLOB. I thought, well If I can't get it via an URL or as a static document- let me try storing the code in a clob field. As you can see, I'm having no success in displaying the ontents of the static file or contents of the column field.
Also note that on P.2, I have include the URL in a List Tmplate : 'Document's. When i click on this, it does go to the URL. You won't be able to use this as it is located in our firewall but at least it work but not what I want.
If you could help me with this, I would be very gratefult to you. I'm ploying away doing this on own and certainly I've got a lot to learn but at the same time I've managed to get quite a bit done.
Thankks so much for your help. I hope I've explained this better.

Error: The report source could not be retrieved from the state object.

I have been trying to create a report in a JSF page. The relevant parts are below:

    <ExternalFunctionLibraryClassNames>

</CrystalReportEngine-configuration>
The report template 'Report1.rpt' is packaged under WEB-INF/reports in the war file.
When I try to generate the report by accessing the JSF page, I am getting an error: "The report source could not be retrieved from the state object. "
I am not sure what is wrong. Can someone help me in resolving this issue?

Multiple report fields from single physical column.

Hi Experts,
I have a physical table like below. Multiple records for a single customer id. The no of Address_type may increase in future.
Customer_id     Address_Type         Address
101                  Primary                   abcdefgh
101                  Secondary               234oij3mb4
101                  Billing                      mdmnweoij4
102................etc.
My Requirement on OBIEE is to display report as below.
Customer_ID, Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address.
101                 abcdefgh            234oij3mb4               mdmnweoij4
Multiple report fields ( Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address ) are derived from same physical column ADDRESS.
I tried to duplicate the Address column on the report thrice and added conditions like Address_Type = Primary/Secondary/Billing for those three fields respectively.
But only of the field is getting correct data and rest of duplicate columns are null.
Tried FILTER function on OBI Answers, but the function fails saying it should be used only on measures.
Thought the alternative would be to define multiple logical columns at BMM layer. Created multiple alias for same table at physical layer and correspondingly created LTS for each on a single logical table. Defined Fragmentation/Where conditions.
LTS1 - Address_Type = PRIMARY
LTS2 - Address_Type - SECONDARY
LTS3 - Address_Type - BILLING
Created multiple logical columns from each LTS like Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address from LTS1, LTS2, LTS3 respectively.
This time, am getting data for all the fields on the report but getting cartesian result.
Can someone guide me whether my approach is correct or any other alternate best approach to achieve the desired result.
Note: I have the data Address on multiple physical rows for a customer, rather Not in a single row. which is causing me problem.
Thanks...
Ramchand.

Hi Srini VEERAVALLI,
I have lot many other fields in the same report coming from other tables.
Does the Pivot table option for above mentioned Address fields affect other columns?
If Yes, Can there be any other alternative? Am thinking of Opaque View at Physical layer to bring all Addresses on a single row.
Thanks...
Ramchand.

Master Detail Form with Report - Referring a column in another table

I have master detail form with a report option. The master table has a column that also references a look up table.
When the report is displayed the lookup column id is displayed. Rather I want to get the look-up value from a lookup table
and display in the report.
When I see the report region Query definition , it just has the columns to add/remove only from the master table.
Could you pls help me with this regard.
Eg :
Dept Table
dept_id
dept_name
location_id
Employee Table
employee_id
employee_name
dept_id
location
location_id_id
location_name
Master is Dept, Detail is dept and lookup table is location.

Simply add the lookup table to the FROM clause and join its PK with the FK in the master table in your query. That's basic SQL, and you definitely must get a good grasp of SQL to do more than very basic work in APEX.
For a good example, please see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10498/build_app.htm#BCEBJJGB
While you're at it, read and implement the tasks outlined in the 2 Day + Application Express Developer's Guide - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10498/toc.htm. After that, read the "Oracle Application Express 3.0-- Building a Functional Application" OBE in http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/obe30/apexdev30.htm - great stuff.

Logical column using data source from 2 generations of same hierarchy

Hi experts,
I'm using Essbase as my data source in CEIM physical layer,
and I have a hierarchy called "Entity" which contains different level of companies,
in Generation 2 I have only one member called "group totals" and in Generation 3 are 5 members representing 5 different industries,
I need to use these total 6 members as slider on the top of the view(a Dial),
and the measure I want to show is scaled in rate, which I can't simply sum up those five members in Gen3 to get Gen2 measurement.
I tried to create a logical column using Entity-default(the alias table) as datasource, it worked but was not sorted in outline style.
I tried to sort them using calculate items in selection steps, but calculate items seemed cannot be shown as section or slider.
So I wonder if I can simply create a logical column that sourced from different generations(in this case, my Gen2 and Gen3) of same hierarchy,
is it possible to do such things?
Thanks for reply.

You could try General Database Discussions the main db foum.
What are you using to migrate your database? Why is it being mapped from varchar2(8) to varchar2(32). It sounds like someone/something is intervening here.

Several reports on joined master-detail tables with single row source

I have 1 master table (Fixed Assets) and several datail tables (Improvements, Depreciation, ...)
I need to create several reports based on them all with criteria
'Select ALL from Master and join details
/1 total row from details for 1 master row/
filtered by [on_date <= report_date]'
How to do it better and not copy same code in every report?
As mentioned on this forum, ApEx is not able to use RefCursor as row source for ApEx reports
So I tried this Tom Kyte's example:
create type apex_user.myRecordType as object
(seq int,
a int,
b varchar2(10),
c date
Create Or Replace Type Apex_User.Mytabletype As Table Of Apex_User.Myrecordtype;
create or replace function Apex_User.my_function return Apex_User.myTableType
Is
l_data Apex_User.myTableType;
Begin
l_data := Apex_User.myTableType();
for i in 1..5
loop
L_Data.Extend;
l_data(i) :=Apex_User.myRecordType(i, i, 'row ' || i, sysdate+i);
end loop;
Return L_Data;
End;
Select *
from TABLE (cast(Apex_User.my_function() as Apex_User.mytableType))
Where C > Sysdate+1
Order By Seq Desc
SEQ A B C
5 5 row 5 22.08.2010
4 4 row 4 21.08.2010
3 3 row 3 20.08.2010
2 2 row 2 19.08.2010
4 Rows Selected
- and it really works from ApEx reports.
The questions are:
1) is this the best solution for my task (one centralized code for several reports with parameter filtering detail tables)?
2) how to change example properly to have here -
loop
L_Data.Extend;
l_data(i) :=Apex_User.myRecordType(i, i, 'row ' || i, sysdate+i);
end loop;
- simple SELECT from my MASTER-DETAILS joined tables?

Hi,
if (row != null)
Row masterRow = row;
vo.setCurrentRow(masterRow);
// not needed : getMesReponsesPourTiersVO1().executeQuery();
You shouldnot execute the child VO after setting current row in master VO.
When the current row is set in master VO, then the child rows will get refreshed automatically.

Different calculation on each column in table in obiee 11g report??

Hi ,
I have to display values in a table for measures in obiee 11g report which should hold different calculation on each column. For ex:
Result 1:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
C      'A'                 2              3
C      'B'                 3               0
       SubTotal1            5             3
Result 2:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 2              11
H      'D'                  0              0
       SubTotal2          2             11
Result 3:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 1              0
H      'D'                  1            0
       SubTotal3          2            0
Final Result:(Transaction shd hold :-subtotal1-subtal2 , Amount should hold:-subtotal1-subtal2+subtota3)
Flag   Display               Transaction         Amount
C    'total tran(1-2)              3                     8
       Total Amnt(1-2+3)'
Please help me how can i achieve this ... ??? I am new to OBIEE 11g.
Thanks,
Pavi

There are a few things I cannot understand; I'm assuming Transaction and Amount are fact columns. Then how do they have different values for the same values of Flag and Display ??
Anyway, sub total can be achieved by going to edit view for the table and from columns and measures area under the Layout pane click on the summation icon and select After. This will automatically display a grand total value at the bottom of each fact column.
Now, to get the final result, say Total Transaction you can add a dummy column and edit its formula.
     Total Transaction = trans_subtotal1 - trans_subtotal2 and
     Total Amount = amt_subtotal1 - amt_subtotal2 + amt_subtotal3
     Now if we could say that trans_subtotal1 is the total of transaction value when Flag = 'C' or something like that then you can get this value of subtotal1 by using the formula FILTER(SUM("Subject Area"."Folder".Transaction Column") USING (DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("Subject Area"."Folder"."Flag column") = 'C')). Similarly we can obtain subtotal2 and subtract them to get the total transaction value. But I am sure if we can do this because for the same values of Flag and Display, Transaction has different values. But by using the above formula, the values we obtain for subtotals 2 and 3 will be the same. So calculating Total Amount would be a problem.
The above formula is obtained by going to edit formula and selecting the filter option at the bottom of the edit dialog box.
Hope I made my point clear

once view my query :
select t.branch_cd,b.branch_e_name,t.vndr#,v.vndr_name,
sum(nvl(t.sales_actl_amt,0)) sales_actl_amt
from inv_sales_trgt_val t,branches b,vendor v where
t.branch_cd=b.branch_cd and
t.vndr#=v.vndr# and
(t.yymm between :fiscal_month and :fiscal_month2) and
(:fiscal_month<>trunc(:fiscal_month2,-2)) and :fiscal_month2<>trunc(:fiscal_month2,-2)) and t.branch_cd between :from_branch and to_branch and
t.vndr# between :from_vndr and :to_vndr
group by t.vndr#,v.vndr_name,t.branch_cd,b.branch_e_name
order by t.vndr#,t.branch_cd;
how can i get last year sales_actl_amt .
