Reporting query

Hi,
I have been asked by a client to provide:
"a week by week report on our daily bandwidth by floor ports usage including WiFi port.
This will be important for capacity planning, usage monitoring to ensure we have enough bandwidth quality of service on the network."
Having done some research it appears that Cisco Prime Infrastructure is the tool i am looking for.
Are there any other products people are using that i should consider also?
many thanks
Brendan

There are several alternatives. PI 2.0 is certainly capable of this. An open source solution could be created with a Cacti or MRTG deployment. Paid products include Paessler's PRTG (based on MRTG tools), SolarWinds Orion NPM and NTA, and Action Packed's LiveAction. The latter is especially useful in large QoS deployments.

Need to create report query to get latest open and last closed period for given application

Hi All,
I need to create a report query to get below result displayed in report output.
1)   -   Application name
2)   -    Ledger name
-o/ -Operating Unit
3)   - Last Closed Period
4)   - Current Open Period
5)   - Date Closed – Last Closed Period
6)   - Date Open – Current Open Period

It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

Report-Query Value

Hi Experts,
Currently we are using one BW report in 3.5version(report query against multi provider).
Current issue:
Cube Fields:
PO Number: 123
Order value 100.
Confirmation value 50
Final Delivery Indicator: X (YES-No more confirmation is expected)
Calculation on the Query:
Outstanding Confirmed Value= Order Value - Net Confirmed Value
Here Outstanding Confirmed Value = 100-50=50.So in the reports, Outstanding Confirmed Value shows 50.
But the PO's Final Delivery Indicator is marked. So No more confirmation is expected
Question:
I am not able to create any formula against the filed Final Delivery Indicator. But i want to show in the report that if the PO's Final Delivery Indicator marked, then Outstanding Confirmed Value has to be 0(ZERO).
Please help me achieve this result. Thanks.
Advance Thanks.
RR.

Hi ,
This can be achived in the following way.
1. Create your formula
"Outstanding Confirmed Value= Order Value - Net Confirmed Value" and hide it using the property.
2. Create one more forumala which will check the condition. i.e. if the Final Delivery Indicator is marked then it will set the outstanding confirmed value as zero else it will show the value which we are getting by using above mentioned formula.
put the following condition in the formula.
[Final Delivery Indicator = = 0 ] * 0 + [Final Delivery Indicator <> 0]*Outstanding Confirmed Value
This will work as follow.
For example : Outstanding Confrimed Value is 50 and Final Delivery Indicator is marked.
= [ 0 == 0 ] * 0 + [ 0 <> 0 ] * 50
= 1* 0 + 0 * 50 " When the condition is satisfied its result is 1. here 0 == 0 condtion is satisfied so its return value is 1.
= 0
Hope this will help.

Performance issues when creating a Report / Query in Discoverer

Hi forum,
Hope you are can help, it involves a performance issues when creating a Report / Query.
I have a Discoverer Report that currently takes less than 5 seconds to run. After I add a condition to bring back Batch Status that = Posted we cancelled the query after reaching 20 minutes as this is way too long. If I remove the condition the query time goes back to less than 5 seconds.
Please see attached the SQL Inspector Plan:

Is there anything i can do in Discoverer Desktop / Administration to avoid this problem.
Many thanks,
Lance

Hi Rod,
I've tried the condition (Batch Status||'' = 'Posted') as you suggested, but the qeury time is still over 20 mins. To test i changed it to (Batch Status||'' = 'Unposted') and the query was returned within seconds again.
Ive been doing some more digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder. See below.
I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of P is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value Posted. Im not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans. How do we get around this?

Report query with bind variable

Trying to create a report query for xsl-fo print. For output format I pick "derive from item" then pick the item name from the list, on the next screen, I paste the query with the bind variable. on the next step test query, I always get "data not found" regardless what value I type in. This is the same query that I ran under sql commands without any issues.
Does anyone run into the same issue as I have when attempted to create a query with bind var ? There is no problem creating a query without bind varibles. . thanks.
Munshar

Hi, please did you get any solution to this issue? I am having similar challenge right now.
select     EMP.DEPTNO as DEPTNO,
     DEPT.DNAME as DNAME,
     EMP.EMPNO as EMPNO,
     EMP.ENAME as ENAME,
     EMP.JOB as JOB,
     EMP.MGR as MGR,
     EMP.HIREDATE as HIREDATE,
     EMP.SAL as SAL
from     SCOTT.DEPT DEPT,
     SCOTT.EMP EMP
where EMP.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO
and      DEPT.DNAME =upper(:dname)
This run perfectly in sql developer, toad, and even inside publisher if I login directly to publisher to create report.
Generating this same query in shared component query builder and testing it returns no data found. If I remove the last line, it works. but with the last line, it return no data found. It seems no one has been able to provide solution to this issue

Performance problem with report query

Hi,
I am encountering a performance issue with a page returning a report.
I have a page that has a region which joins 2 tables. One table has about 220,00 rows, while the other contains roughly 60,000 rows. In the region source of the report region, the query includes join condition with local variables. For example, the page is page 70, and some join conditions are:
and a.id=:P70_ID
and a.name like :P70_NAME
I run the query that returns a large number of rows from sqlplus, and it takes less than 30 sec to complete.
When I run the page, the report took about 3 minutes to return.
In this case, :P70_NAME is initialized to '%' on the page.
I then tried to substitute variable value directly in the query:
and a.id=1000
and a.name like '%'
this time the report returned in about 30 sec.
I then tried another thing which specified the region as "PL/SQL Function returning sql query", and modified the region as follows:
l_sql := '.......';
l_sql := l_sql || 'and a.id=' || v('P70_ID')
and similar substituting :P70_NAME to v('P70_NAME') and append its value to the l_sql string.
The report query page also returned in 30 sec.
Is there any known performance issue with using the bind variable (:PXX_XXX) in the report region?

If you are able.. flush the shared_pool, run your
report then query the v$sql_area or v$sql_text tables.
Or do a google query and look up Cary Milsap's piece on enabling extended trace .. there is your sure fire way of finding the problem sql. I am still learning htmldb but is there a way to alter session enable trace in some pre-query block?

Creating a print button to call a Report Query and pass filters

If i use the REPORT QUERY option in APEX 4 to create an statement that is the same one used in an interactive report, can I create a link or button to the REPORT QUERY and pass all the session and filter information from the interactive report to the report query?
This way I can have the interactive report screen where the user can do all sorts of modifications and such and then pass those to the REPORT QUERY so I can call that from a custom link or button.
You may ask "why does he need another print button?"
Answer: I am using a view that has some embedded HTML tags to format the output really nicely. The HTML download version created by the interactive reports works beautifully. The customer also wants a PDF version (meh) which does not render the HTML tags and actually echos them as part of the text. I found that I can create another view that uses the CHR function to create all the breaks and such I was doing with HTML and these do render properly in PDF. So, I figured just have 2 reports: 1 Interactive and 1 using a REPORT QUERY. I just want to call the REPORT QUERY version but use the Interactive Search form to set all the parameters.
Or, am I over thinking this and there is an easier method?
I made a previous post where I showed how I got the APEX printing to work and i hoped that helped someone out - fixing this issue would put the whole thing to rest.
Thanks

Is BI Publisher desktop (MS Word add-in) a possibility? This would allow you to use MS Word to create your output template (RTF) that would result in a properly formatted PDF. Of course, you'd have to right an updated version of the query without HTML embedded. Just thinking outside of the box.

Bind Variables and Shared Component Report Query

I have a query in a region report which I have replicated to a shared component report query.
Both queries reference page items as bind variables in the where clause.
The report region on screen shows the correct results but the report query shows "no data". This is the case when running "Test Query" and "Download XML data" from the shared component report query definition. If I hardcode the variable names I get rows returned, If I use bind variables - and specify the values for these variables I get no data. THe XML file contains the tags for each bind variable I have specified but has no data between the tags. I have Ticked the box to include application and session state but it appears that the bind variables are not being used.
When I use my report query in the application (URL tied to a button) I get the same problem, the binds are not being passed to the report query.
Can someone please clarify if this is a bug or not? And if not, how can I get it to work.
I am using Apex 4.0.2
Thanks
Kathryn

Hi
To confirm, yes I selected the bind variables. I used these in the report layout, but the xml file has them as empty i.e.
<P0_START_DATE><P0_START_DATE/> with nothing in between.
IN the Test Query section, if I put real values in the boxes for the bind variables, I get no data found. If I hardcode the values into the query, I get the data.
I've repeated the create report query many times and have created a report layout in RTF. I can use the layout with my region - in the print attributes and the layout works with the query but I need to create a PDF using 2 queries - ROWSET1 and ROWSET2. I can generate the XML but the values in the rows are all empty. When I use the layout with a report query instead of the region, I get no data even though I have used the same sql and have selected the bind variables. I was using variables from page items on page zero but have also tried using page items on the current page, the result is the same.
I need to use a report query and a report layout as I need data from 2 queries in the PDF.
I looked at your demo - what happens if you add a second sql query to the report query - is there any chance I can look at the back end (developer access?)
Thanks for your input
Kathryn

Ora-06502 pl/sql numeric or value error in Report Query in oracle apex

Hello all,
I need your help...
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I am using bi publisher to generate PDF reports in oracle apex.
We were using APEX 4.0 and migrated to 4.2 just a week ago.
Now we have apex 4.2.
When I try to Create report query,
Shared Components >> Report Queries then create.
and test a report in a create wizard I am getting a error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I have also applied a patch "16760897".
This issue is because of number of columns in a query is more then 26.
If I run a report with 26 or less number of columns then the is working fine, otherwise getting this error.
My before migration report queries working perfectly even now, but not new queries.
This issue is also in apex.oracle.com.
You can see
Not working - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=619:4

Report Query returning "No Data Found" with bind variables

I put a simple query into Report Query:
Select "bluefish". "name" as "name",
"bluefish"."primary_flag" as "primary_flag",
"bluefish"."status" as "status",
"bluefish"."ID" as "ID" from "bluefish" "bluefish" where "bluefish"."ID" = :P3_XPRINTID
When I test the query, data is returned; however, when I try to run the query using "Test Report" button, I get an error 01403 No Data Found. If I replace the bind variable with an explicit value, the report works.
Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this problem? I am using the Generic Report Layout, with various output types. I AM editting the query and defining the bind variable before I test the report (otherwise, the query wouldn't run).
Charles

Sometimes if you create a form/report/whatever using the wizards, it will create an After Submit process called something like Reset Page - basically you want to make sure you don't have any After Submit processes that call a Clear Session state (it may say something like Clear Cache for Page).
In your branch, there is also a box that says Clear Cache - you want to make sure that does not have page Number 8 in it or it will clear your session state.
Put the page in Debug mode and read through it - check to make sure your value is getting saved and maybe you can see what is going wrong.

Report region with column link that opens a pdf doc based on report query

Hello
I'm building a report table that displays info about a customer - simple select - and, for each record, has associated column links based on report queries that receive ID as parameter. When clicked, it opens the report in pdf extension. My problem here is how to pass the ID as a parameter to that report query considering i'm using a report table and that there are no items in page 71...
This is the report query i'm using:
select initcap(a.customer) customer
, initcap(a.address) address
, initcap(a.rep) rep
, (select initcap(b.city)
from portal_records b
where b.contrib=a.contrib
and b.year=to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')) city
, (to_char(a.datereg,'dd')||' de '||to_char(a.datereg,'Month')||' de '||to_char(a.datereg,'yyyy')) datereg
from portal_authorizations_cve a
where a.id=:P71_ID ???????????????
I thank in advance all your replies!!

Hello
First of all, let me compliment your for your demo application... It's awesome!
I've looked into your sample (page 15) and, as far as i see, it opens a document saved in a table's column. I don't want the file to be saved there but generated when the user clicks on that particular link... So i still have the problem of how to pass the right ID as a parameter considering there is no page item on that page...
My javascript knowledge is little so i ask you: when clicking the link, is there any way of opening a window with the url f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=Authorization_CVE and the ID as a parameter?
I thank in advance!

Passing report value to PDF report query

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered.
Here's the scenario --
I have a monthly sales page which displays the company sales for each day of the specified month. I also have a working report query and RTF layout which accepts the invoice date as a parameter which was created with the BI Publisher Word plug-in.
What I would like to do is add a link or button to each row of the report that would call the PDF report, but passes the #invoice_dt# column in as the parameter. Invoice_DT isn't a session state variable, so is it possible to pass this to the report query?
Thanks,
Leigh

Well, in my search for an answer to a different question, I did run across the answer to this in another thread.
Re: Passing Parameters to a report query

Forming a report query dynamically with the value of an item

Hi Gurus,
We wanted to create a report based on the value of an item in the page.
For example
There is a text box named p1_table depending on the value of this item the query of the report should change
1) when p1_table = emp then report query should be select * from emp
2) when p1_table = dept then report query should be select * from dept
I tried doing this using
select * from :p1_table and select * from v('p1_table') , it is not working.
Kindly help me in achieving the requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vikas Krishna

Hi Vikas,
You have to do this as a report based on a function that returns the query as a string. You build up the string dynamically in the function.

Setting a bind variable in a Shared Component Report Query

I have defined a Shared Component Report Query in APEX using a bind variable similar to below
Select name, id , ....
from asset
where id = :id
I have also created a Report Region that displays a table where one of the columns contains a value I would like to be a link column that can launch the Report Query and pass its value to the bind parameter :id in the report query. This in turn would generate a pdf report for the details associated with that column. I am having problems setting the :id bind parameter. How do I do this?
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The bind values are set from session state. So if try something like this:
Select name, id , ....
from asset
where id = :P1_ID
With P1_ID being a page item, for which you set the session state / value before generating the PDF file. So assuming you already have a page with a report and a page item, and that page item is already used in your report, then you could just create a button to download the PDF, make sure the button is a submit button, and create a branch pointing to the report query URL (or in 3.1 use the create button wizard, to do this declaratively.)

BI Publisher Report Query Error: "character string buffer too small"

Using apex.oracle.com, I am trying to make a Report Query (Shared Components > Report Queries) based on many columns (around 60).
When I enter my SQL in the "Source Query" Text Area and then click Test Report I get the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small In order to try to make the simplest test case possible for this, I then tried entering SQL selecting just from DUAL.
The following SQL fails with the error mentioned above.
SELECT
'wibble' as a
,'wibble' as b
,'wibble' as c
,'wibble' as d
,'wibble' as e
,'wibble' as f

,'wibble' as ar
,'wibble' as at
,'wibble' as au
,'wibble' as av
FROM dualRemoving the last column from this SQL query (bringing the total number of columns down to 45) as follows and then clicking "Test Report" works successfully.
SELECT
'wibble' as a

,'wibble' as at
,'wibble' as au
FROM dualSo the question is: Is there a hard-coded limit of 45 columns for a Source Query? Or is there something else causing this error message?
(For information in the above example I have "Use Generic Report Layout" selected and the output format set to "PDF")
Thanks very much in advance for any comments or suggestions,
Andy

Thanks for the suggestion Simon.
I just created a view based on the 46-column SELECT statement from dual above and then set "SELECT * FROM myview" as the Source Query.
Unfortunately I get exactly the same error.
Thanks,
