URL defined in formula column not converting as proper HTML tags

We are migrating a report to 10Gr2 (10.1.2.0.2) from reports 9i (9.0.2.03); This report has to route to a different web page. For this we have a formula column with meta tag call to refresh;its Contains HTM property set to Yes. But when run, the view source of HTML shows as if the tag is truncated and put in <tt> tag around it.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.

Hi svee,
Thanks for the reply.
For an example i tried with the bold option in the edit formula inorder to portray the html tags problem while exporting it to the pdf inspite of using the default bold option within the column properites like u said.
Suppose if i used html tags like
<br>, </br>
in the edit formula section or if i used any other html tags which is not present as a default option in bi like bold. At that time while exporting the report to pdf i can face the issue.
And also i need ur suggestion regarding with the values disappearing for the numeric column if a tooltip is used in it while exporting it to the pdf.
Regards,
Saro

Formula variable not displayed in proper format

Hai,
I used a keyfigure formula variable, that gets current date, in a query (In columns, key figure structure to calculate no. of days). The no. of days are calculated peoperly and everything is just perfect.
But after executing the query, when I display text element=> variables, the system is displaying the variable as 20,060,803 as opposed to date format like 8/3/2006.
Question: Is it how the date formula variable is displayed or there is a system error?
I remember seeing it in date format.
Can somebody comment on this or suggest a solution.
I couldn't find notes on this too!

In the restricted key figure formula definition, use the Data function "Process Value as Date DATE" and enclose your restricted key figure calculation inside the date parenthesis.
I have another related problem. I am trying to use dates to calculate 30 days before a (date formula variable), 60 days after, etc. Some of the dates are calculating correctly, but some are just returning an X. All appear to be extracting with the same format.
Anyone have a similar problem?

Reading count of a query in formula columns

I need to supress a field/label from being displayed in the report output if the count of rows returned from another query is 0. I was thinking of defining a formula column that will have the count. Then can I use that formula column in the trigger of the field/label that I want to supress?
I am all set. Was able to do with Summary columns.

Dates should be compared with dates values. Don't use to_char to compare date values.
And dont use "TYPE" as a column name - it is a reserved key word..
select count(type), type
from ebizp.bchistevent
where (
    type = 'com.avolent.apps.event.LoginEvent'
    or type     = 'com.avolent.apps.event.LogoutEvent'
AND createdt BETWEEN trunc(sysdate)+(8/24) AND trunc(sysdate)+(9/24)
and (
bucket = to_char(sysdate-1, 'YYYYMM')
or bucket    = to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMM')
or bucket    = 0
GROUP BY type;And you can simplify the query
select count(type), type
from ebizp.bchistevent
where type in
    ('com.avolent.apps.event.LoginEvent','com.avolent.apps.event.LogoutEvent')
AND createdt BETWEEN trunc(sysdate)+(8/24) AND trunc(sysdate)+(9/24)
and bucket in
     (to_char(sysdate-1, 'YYYYMM'),to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMM'),'0')
GROUP BY type;Edited by: jeneesh on Feb 19, 2013 2:42 PM

In formula column - I am getting current year - but get numeric value error

Hello
I defined a formula column as folllows:
function CF_1Formula return char is
thisyear char;
begin
     select to_char(sysdate,'YYYY')
     into thisyear
     from dual;
     return thisyear;
end;
I get - Fatal Pl/Sql error. numeric or value error. What am I doing wrong here?

Or replace the whole thing with
RETURN to_char(sysdate,'YYYY');
saving a pointless round trip to the database.

Hyperlink word with bookmark not converted in HTML

Hi,
I use RH10 to create an HTML help from several Word documents.
I have a problem with Word hyperlink that is not converted in the HTML output. In my RH10 project, i have 2 link word document. I created with Word an hyperlink with bookmark in a document called docA.docx on another Word document called docB.docx. The docB.docx document contains the bookmark called by the docA.docx document. The hyperlink property in Word is "docB.docx#myBookmark".
This hyperlink works fine with Word, when i clic on the link in the docA.docx the docB.docs document is open by Word.
Problem appears when i update the word document in RH10 to generate HTML document. The HTML hyperlink token href="" is generated so there is no hyperlink on the HTML output.
When i remove the bookmark in the Word document the HTML hyperlink token href="docB.docx" is generated. So i don't know if it's a RH10 bug or if this feature is not supported by RH10.
For information, i used hyperlink with bookmark because cross-reference is not allowed with multiple document.
Regards,

your example show a conversion of a cross-reference in Word.
I'm talking about classic hyperlink in Word.
Clic on hyperlink
Select an another Word file containing a bookmark
Clic on the "Bookmark" button in english version of Word ("Signet..." in my french version) and select the bookmark
When you clic on "OK" button the hyperlink path is updated with the bookmark
And this path link is not converted in the HTML generated by RH. If i change the "#" by another character the generation is ok.

HTML tags not displayed when using Data Template

Hi All...
I'm developing a BI Publisher report in which one of the columns is a clob data type. I'm using an xsl stylesheet to format the data present in the clob column.
I've developed the report using data template as the data set. The problem is the clob column which has the HTML tags where not displayed properly...for example
the tag starting with
<
is replaced with
& lt;
I did a couple of searches in this forum and in tim's blog but couldn't find a proper solution...

Re: Special characters in CLOB are making report fail
I came to know that data template cannot generate proper HTML tags for release 10.1.3.2. Is there any work around way to get the proper HTML tags when data template is used as a data set?
Thanks in Advance...

Issue could be with the data that is selected in the other environment. It generally happens that the ALV will not give the same results as in the DEV in the other systems.
Possible errors could be the control break statements in the loop...endloop block. validate the correctness of the control break stmts if any.

HTML tags in Hidden Item not displaying correctly

I have created a HTML Text Region which includes a Javascript function. The function references a Hidden Item also created and linked to the region. The Hidden item returns a text field from the database with concatenates multiple rows together into a single string with HTML tag -br- between each row.
The tags are not been recognised as HTML tags and is displayed :-
-br-Record 1-br-Record 2-br-Record 3-br-'
I want the page to display :-
Record 1
Record 2
Record 3
Any ideas?

Hello,
Check to make sure you don't have those items set to escape html.
Past that are you sure your javascript is putting in the <br /> tags correctly? before you submit fire a alert that shows the value of the hidden item and make sure it's correct there.

Please, someone help us in this regard.

Table names and column names defined by other languages, not English.

Hi, everyone.
I am wondering if there are any possible problems or any inconvenience
when I define table names and column names by Japanese, not English.
Currently, we are using SQL server 2000 as a db and windows as a operating
system. In the near future, we have the plan to change the database software
and operating system to "Oracle 10g" and "Linux O/S".
I have not experienced the oracle database, which has table names and column
names defined by other languages, not English.
Personally, I would like to use English as table names and column names.
In this case, I might have to provide appropriate reasons.
Are there any possible problems or any "inconvenience" in terms of
system maintenance, development, or something else ?
What could be pros and cons in this case?
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards.
Ho.

First you need to make sure your database has character set that support Japanese.
Choosing a Character Set
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch2charset.htm#i1007681
The main "inconvenience" you will have is if the client doesn't support Japanese or unicode, it will have trouble to access the table.
And say in future after the application been developed, you want to implement the schema in some English environment, you will have hard time to do it.
My point is English tablename and column names doesn't prevent you use it in Japanese environment and save Japanese data but not vice-versa. Hope you understand.

Not able to burst report referring to Formula Column in XML file.

Hello all,
I am using bursting feature to spit single report to multiple pdfs. All is well when I reference column queried from the database in the xml file but I when I give column from Formula column it is doing coredump.
XML File contents:
=====================
<destinations>

<foreach>
<file id="MyFiles" name="/data/reports/pdf/assrt_terr&<file_name>.pdf" format=
"pdf" instance="this">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</foreach>
</destinations>
=====================
The "file_name" referenced in the above is a formula column. If it is replace with a column from the query it works fine. Please let me know if anyone knows if it is a limitation or any workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Manohar

If I can have that in the query I would have not done a formula column. And I do know that it works if the column is in the query. I would like to know any workaround to make it work from formula column.
I have to take data from sub-group of this query, aggregate it and then concatinate with one of the columns grouped - so i had to use formula column.
Thanks
Manohar

Suppress Missing Data not work in web form with formula column inside

Dear All,

Anyone have face the same problem..?? and how to fixed it..??

There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing
10358200 - If a formula column exists in a data form, selecting the Suppress missing option does not hide rows that do not contain data.
