Substitution String in Row Template order dependant

Hi Folks,
This questions is related to an earlier Complex Detail Report Layout: Can it be done? about building a complex row template (thanks for your help, Vikas!).<br><br>
Having built the row template (Named Columns) and tested it in a separate application, I have been preparing to incorporate it into the target application. (Here's a screen shot of the work in progress.) I decided to see if I could use column aliases with the substitution strings and so added an alias to the query for the report.<br><br>
Strange values appeared (like a "Y" for a Project Name) and initially I thought the aliases wouldn't work, so I backed the change out. However, it was now quite apparent that the substitution strings were not taking their values from the column names, as I expected. I was able to put the values in the correct place by modifying the order of the columns selected in the query.<br><br>
Am I misunderstanding? Shouldn't the order of the columns in the select statement be irrelevant when named columns are used? <br><br>
Since the order in the query is NOT the order displayed in the template, and I have nearly 30 fields, (many of which are dates, and I couldn't possible guess which is which if the substitution doesn't work properly), it seems important to understand how to ensure the proper values appear in the report.<br><br>
Many thanks for your help,<br><br>

I take it back. This is whacked. Please take a look at the picture (http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=nygyu0)
OK, I had a select statement:
select ps.project_name, ps.project_manager, ps.gts_dependant, ps.gxp_relevant from project_status ps, eprs_program p
where
ps.program_id = p.id and
p.program_number = :P6_PROGRAM_NUMBERThis populated the fields #PROJECT_NAME#, #PROJECT_MANAGER#, etc. properly.
I even switched the order around and put the ps.project_manager ahead of the ps.project_name and template still worked.
I restored the order and checked again. All is good.
I changed the query and added an alias like so:
select ps.project_name as "PROJ_NAME", ps.project_manager, ps.gts_dependant, ps.gxp_relevant from ...The report showed the substitution string "#PROJECT_NAME#" (as expected, because the column was now aliased.) So this is good.
I went to the row template definition and changed the substitution string #PROJECT_NAME# to #PROJ_NAME# to match the query -- and the substitution strings broke again!
The report template now behaves as described earlier; being position dependant. Now I suspect that this is a bug, and not something caused by my mucking around.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter and potential workaround. At this point, I will likely delete the region and try creating a new region. I would hate to loose the whole page, the top part was a lot of effort. <sigh>
Thanks,
Petie

Report template substitution strings? (APEX 2.2.0)

Hi all,
I am trying to customize a report template. I would like to know if there is a way to get the sort link that goes into the column headers. The next page and previous page links have the #LINK# substitution string. #COLUMN_HEADER# doesn't give me enough flexibility.
Would I have to use a named column template for this? (I don't have much idea what that is. I read about it on Scott Spendolini's blog entry on "Click in a Row".)
Cheers!

Hello,
>> I could using JavaScript rewrite the column header to be what I want after the page renders, but I'd rather it show up the way I want in the first place
Can you be more specific about what is it that you want? The report engine allows you to use custom headings. Can’t that feature help you achieve what you want?
>> Is there a list of the substitutions strings that are available to the column header?
The substitution strings you see on the templates populated by the APEX engine with snippets of code you can’t control. You can define your own substitution strings, in the application definition page (under shared components), set them with the code you need, and use them throughout the application, including in templates. The way to use them is a bit different – instead of the “#STRING# syntax, you need to use the “&STRING.” Syntax.

Inconsistent substitution string expansion in email templates - SCSM 2012 R2

Coming to the conclusion that email templates should not be stored in a custom MP ?
I'm seeing odd begaviour where only some fields are expanded when the email is created. See below example where ID in the subject line has not been expanded but it has been expanded in the body of the email. If I store the custom template in "Service
Manager Incident Management Configuration Library" then it works as expected.
In the following notification, Subject has not been expanded yet when ID is used in a subsequent field in the email body it is expanded (Fault No.)
Also Affected User Firstname has not been expanded.
Subject: Your call has been closed. ID: $Context/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$
Fault No: IR223
Fault Description: Testing Open, resolve & close notifications
Dear $Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' SeedRole='Source' TypeConstraint='System!System.Domain.User']/Property[Type='System!System.Domain.User']/FirstName$,
Please be advised that this call has now been marked as closed.
Ian Moran

it should be noted that those substitution strings are contingent on the MP that stores the notification template. for example, 'System!System.Domain.User' is only valid if the
MP Reference "System" points to an MP that contains the element System.WorkItemAffectedUser, and that element is a relationship class definition.
to break it down:
$Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' SeedRole='Source' TypeConstraint='System!System.Domain.User']/Property[Type='System!System.Domain.User']/FirstName$
$ starts and ends a variable.
Context is one of the keywords that control the behavior of the variable, but in this case, you can read it as the target of the notification template.
Path[] means we are going down the projections path \
Relationship modifies path by specifying which relationship to follow in the brackets with the Relationship element.
SeedRole modifies path by setting which side of the relationship the starting objects is on, in this case, the "context" is the source of the relationship.
TypeConstraint filters path based on what's on the other side of the relationship, in this case, it must be a user.
Property[] means we're reading data from a property of this user, as opposed to pathing again
Type modifies property by controling which class to get the property set from
the last entry is the property name to get data from, i.e. the
FirstName property.
Consider http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff719642.aspx and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee533748.aspx, thou Context is new for service manager and is largely undocumented, I suspect it was added to address related classes, as (also speculation)
Target may refer only to the target entity without its relationships.

Is there a parameter (application, export, template, instance level) that we can set to prevent this ?

Hi Patrick,
The version info is: wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2009.01.12');
This should be wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2012.01.01');
... but this error is due to a manual modification of the export file.
We parameterise some values, so that the we can use the old-school DEFINE variables in our deploy process via SQL/plus.
One of the developers made a copy-paste error when doing that ...
So there is no bug !
Thanks for the tip !!
Kind regards,
Karel

Custom List Template - Adding a substitution string

Hi all,
I have created a List template by copying an existing list template.
I want to have a substitution string so that I can assign a different identification to the list itself each time I use the list template.
<ul id="#SOME_SUBSTITUTION_STRING#">
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>The #A01# - #A10# seems to be applied only on list items. I cannot find a way to have such a substitution string that can be applied to the unordered list tag.
Would anyone know of a way to do that? I'm using Apex 3.1
Thanks,
Raihaan

The reason I want to be able to specify the id of the unordered list is that I have a javascript function using the id to build the rest of the list dynamically.
But if that's not possible, I will have to hardcode the "id" in the template and have a different template everytime I want to implement a list having the same characteristics.
Thanks,
Raihaan

Report Row Template - header

Hi
I have made a custom "Report Row Template". I have write the "header" direct in the html code. Is that a problem if i want to translate the application? Is there a way how to use the headers from the apex?
Best Regrads
Jesper Vels

Hello Jesper,
OK, I can see now what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, the only similar example I'm familiar with - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:108 – Is also using hard coded text for the headings.
I can show you how to get to these headings, and how to use them on your template, but I'm afraid this is not a generic solution, as I couldn't find an active substitution string for the column headers.
As there isn't any variables to hold these column names, we need to define our own. You can do that using an application items or hidden page items. Let's say I defined three hidden items on my report page: P1_HD1, P1_HD2, P1_HD3. Each item will be defined with Source Type of SQL Query, and Source Use of "Only when …". The Source Value for the first item will be as follow:
select heading
from FLOWS_020200.APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS
where APPLICATION_ID=:APP_ID and
       PAGE_ID=:APP_PAGE_ID and
       DISPLAY_SEQUENCE = 1;The DISPLAY_SEQUENCE should change according to the sequence of the column.
If you choose to use an application items, you'll need to use a before header computation on your report page, with the same query, to populate the application items.
In order to use these items in the report template, we need to use the "&P1_HD1." notation. You can have something like this, for the first header in your report query:
<tr><td>&P1_HD1.: </td><td>#1#</td>   . . .Hope this helps,
Arie.

Footer navigation using pl/sql - substitution strings

Hi
I want to make a footer navigation (a BLAF like footer with the same captions and links that appear in the Tabs and the Navigation Bar) using a PL/SQL region. The code I want to use should work for any HTML DB application.
The procedure could be defined like this:
PROCEDURE prb_footer_navigation( p_application_id VARCHAR2
, p_page_id VARCHAR2
, p_session_id VARCHAR2);
p_application_id will be used to get the caption and links of the specific application and p_page_id will be used to know which tab is selected.
I'm using this query in the procedure:
SELECT t.tab_text caption
, t.tab_target link
, t.tab_sequence num
FROM flows_010600.wwv_flow_toplevel_tabs t
WHERE t.flow_id = p_application_id
ORDER BY t.tab_sequence
(the user has been granted select from flows_010600.wwv_flow_toplevel_tabs)
The problem is:
tab_target has substitution strings like '&XXX.' or '&PX_XXX.', so how can I get the real link with resolved substitution strings using pl/sql?
Something like function_resolve_string(p_string, p_session_id) would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

A.U.,
Have you considered looking at how the navigation bar gets onto your page by examining the page template? You'll find something like this in the body section:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="">
    <tr>
      <td valign="top" class="t1Logo">#LOGO#</td>
      <td align="right" valign="top">#NAVIGATION_BAR#</td>
    </tr>
</table>Just copy and paste that onto the end of the body section, or into the footer section of the template, although the footer might not support all the same substitution patterns.
If that's the kind of result you have in mind, do the same thing for the (html) tables that contain #PARENT_TAB_CELLS# and #TAB_CELLS#. I don't guarantee this will work, but it's worth experimenting with.

Row template - WYSIWYG builder

Is there a easy (and free!) way to build a complex named column (i.e. specific row) template using some sort of WYSIWYG builder? For instance, an order invoice. This would have company logo, customer/address information in the header; order line items (repeated); followed by a footer type of data (e.g. customer service information)
Thanks for any ideas.

As far as a builder i dont have a good answer for you - mine has been typically stealing other people's layouts using firebug. I admit I have zero design ability and lets face it, somewhere somewhere else has already done it better than I could have.
Here is a sample template I use that you can have (you will obviously have to name your columns the same as mine, but a simple select from dual will do it for resting purposes). For anything that needs to span multiple rows (like order items, I just use a function to return a string with a html break element in it. I'm hoping I got everything correct - I had to adapt it slightly to take out stuff from the real template.:

Report Row Template: Column condition

In a classic report using a Generic Column template, one can use the Column Condition attribute to conditionally render the column.
But when using a named column (row template), even though the Builder allows one to specify this condition, it doesn't appear to be used.
So how would one implement conditional column display in these templates?
Thanks

Hi,
That's actually easier. See: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:60]
The SQL for both reports is:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, NVL(SAL,0) SAL, NVL(COMM,0) COMM
FROM EMP
ORDER BY EMPNOThe SAL and COMM columns have been formatted using:
999G999G999G999G990D00For the Row Template, the Row Template 1 setting contains an empty space (you have to have something in there otherwise Apex adds back in a default row containing five cells!). The condition for this is:
TO_NUMBER('#COMM#','999G999G999G999G990D00') < 100The template will see the data as a string, so we use the same number format to convert that string back into a number and compare this to 100. If we didn't use formatting on the numbers and we are sure that every row contained a number (hence the use of NVL()), then you could use:
#COMM# < 100Row Template 2 contains the format for the rows that need displaying:
<tr>
<td class="t18Data">#1#</td>
<td class="t18Data">#2#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#3#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#4#</td>
</tr>and is unconditional.
The only other settings on the Row Template are the Before Rows:
<table class="t18Standard" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid black;">
<tr>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Empno</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Ename</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Sal</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Comm</th>
</tr>and After Rows:
</table>Of course, you will note that the record counters at the bottom still show the number of records in both reports - as the SQL still outputs the same data, this doesn't change.

Current Tab Substitution String

Hi,
I want to display a particular header background image depending on the current tab page. Is there a substitution string I can use to identify the current tab page?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi Scott,
I mean the tab that is current for the page. I have a tab called T_HOME that is current for pages 10,11 and 12.
My aim is to base the header background image on the current tab by referencing it in the page template, eg.
[table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-image: url(/myimages/&CURRENT_TAB.);...etc
So when page 10,11 or 12 is rendered the T_HOME.jpg image is displayed.
Thanks,
Andrew.

Substitution strings in chart sql query

Hi Guys,
I am creating line charts and bar charts based on a query in HTML DB 1.5. I am using substitution strings in the query. Though I can use substitution strings in the line chart, I cannot do it in the bar chart. I am using almost the same sql query in both line and bar charts.
The sql query in line chart is
SELECT null, TO_CHAR(t1.extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY') extractdate,
MIN_OF_AVERAGES(AVG(&P40_METRICS.),:P40_REGION_LIST,:P40_SUBREGION_LIST,NULL,:P40_METRICS,'ind') orgid
FROM ind t1,geography t2
WHERE t1.country_id = t2.country_id(+)
AND t2.region_name like
DECODE(:P40_REGION_LIST,'ALL REGIONS','%',:P40_REGION_LIST)
AND t2.subregion_name like
NVL(:P40_SUBREGION_LIST,'%')
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY')
order by to_date(extractdate,'DD-MON-YY')
The sql query in bar chart is
SELECT null, TO_CHAR(t1.extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY') extractdate,AVG(&P40_METRICS.) orgid
FROM ind t1,geography t2
WHERE t1.country_id = t2.country_id(+)
AND t2.region_name like
DECODE(:P40_REGION_LIST,'ALL REGIONS','%',:P40_REGION_LIST)
AND t2.subregion_name like
NVL(:P40_SUBREGION_LIST,'%')
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY')
order by to_date(extractdate,'DD-MON-YY')
The min_of_averages function in the line chart query is some function I am calling. Even if I cut-paste the line chart query in the bar chart I get the error.
The substitution string which is giving the problem is "&P40_METRICS."
The error I am getting is
Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00909: invalid number of arguments)
The only difference I see is that line chart query is inside a series and bar chart is not, does this make a difference??? Or is it because I am using the substitution string in choosing the column??? Please help!!!!
Thanks,
Swaroop

Swaroop,
You might be using an HTML bar chart and an SVG line chart, I can't tell, but their implementations differ. You won't be able to use a substitution string to replace a column name in the query in the situation you found, you'd have to figure out a way to construct the query string before it gets executed and I'm not sure the chart pages will let you do that.

Query stats substitution strings on IR region

Hello,
Are the query stats substitution strings, like #ROWS_FETCHED#, #TOTAL_ROWS#, #FIRST_ROW_FETCHED# and #LAST_ROW_FETCHED#, should be active in an IR region?
Currently, it seems they are not active, and I’m asking if it’s intentional or a bug.
Thanks,
Arie.

Hi Marco,
Thanks on your reply, and the enhancement request.
In the meantime, can you think of a work around? I’m trying to derived a row (serial) index on a paginated view, using ROWNUM. In classic report, you can subtract the current ROWNUM from the #FIRST_ROW_FETCHED#.
Thanks,
Arie.

Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system. We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report. When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date. However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading? I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string. See below for actual display:
The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail):
Fund Account Description Balance 07/01/2014 Budget/Goal FY 14-15 YTD Actual 02/28/2015 Ending Balance 02/28/2015
In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names. See below:
In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
Fund Account Description Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE. Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY. YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE. Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
Second, all data display correctly.
Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

Can we Edit #BOX_BODY# Substitution String?

In apex 4.02 all templates #BOX_BODY# substitution string are used, I need to modified that string.
Outer #BOX_BODY# if I add anything like Font size, table format and anyting html function not accepted that template string. Can any one help for this how to change that format?
Thanks in Advance

Page Template Body (1. items below region content)
Page Template Body (2. items below region content)
Page Template Body (3. items above region content)
and thus <tt>#BOX_BODY#</tt> can't be "modified". Make changes in the relevant regions.

Presentational elements like <tt>font</tt> have been deprecated for many years and are now removed from the language. <tt>table</tt> elements should be used to structure tabular data, not for page layout. Use CSS to control presentation.
