Using XSL-FO for Interactive Report PDF printout

I am using XSL-FO, Apache FOP and use FO Designer to produce a PDF from SQL Based Report (not IR). This is working fine.
How can use the same concept for Interactive Report. I can not see how to make IR to use XSL-FO and Apache FOP.
It looks that IR is only working for BI Publisher. Am I right?

Interactive Reports currently only support the built-in default XSL-FO layout, i.e. there are only limited customization options available. Report Queries (see Shared Components) and Classic Reports can either use the default XSL-FO Layout, or can be associated with RTF or XSL-FO based templates. We plan to extend printing support for Interactive Reports in a future version of Oracle Application Express to provide similar features as is currently available for Report Queries and Classic Reports.

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:
Re: changing the look and feel of interactive report.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
 We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
 xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
 OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
 docProc.process();
 PrintInvoiceThread :
 out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
 out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
 out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
 out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
 out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
 out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
 out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
 out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
 In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
 public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
 public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
 public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
 public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
 Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

When you run the program, the system displays the following basic list with a the page header defined in the program:
You can trigger the AT LINE-SELECTION event by double-clicking a line. The system sets the status TEST and deactivates the function code PICK. The status TEST contains function codes FC1 to FC5. These are assigned to pushbuttons in the application toolbar. The page header of the detail list depends on the status.
Here, double-clicking a line no longer triggers an event. However, there is now an application toolbar containing five user-defined pushbuttons. You can use these to trigger the AT USER-COMMAND event. The CASE statement contains a different reaction for each pushbutton.
For each interactive event, the system decreases the SY-LSIND system field by one, thus canceling out the automatic increase. All detail lists now have the same level as the basic list and thus overwrite it. While the detail list is being created, SY-LSIND still has the value 1.

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regards

Hi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

CSS default for Interactive Reports

Hi,
I wanted to modify some default attributes for interactive reports. I found this : Re: Interactive Report
I tried to put this information in my modified CSS file attached to our default template, but it doesn't seem to work.
I put this in my CSS file : .apexir_REPORT_TABS span.current {background:#7b9cbd none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
margin-bottom:0;}
but the background color isn't 7b9cbd.
Is there a way to make it work in a CSS file ?
Thanks.
My fault, I had to put #apexir... instead of .apexir
Edited by: gfrancoeur on Jun 2, 2009 10:55 AM

I found the information on this.
It sounds like IR reports use a general CSS file (e.g. apex_4_1.css) and it's better to modify the page template than to modify that file...
I did that and it worked.

How apex generate LOV values for Interactive report

Scott,
For interactive report, does APEX full table/index scan to generate the LOV drop down list every time user click the column header? If I set max row count to 100, does LOV values only derived from the first 100 rows that apex hits?
If I enter SQL query in "list of value definition", will that sql get executed every time users click the column header or the result is cached?
For standard and interactive report, does APEX parse (soft/hard) the sql statement again when user do pagination?

Yes you have to Configure BI Publisher or other.

Activation of Infotype for Interactive reporting

I know that from SAP CRM 7.0 EHP 1.0 sap provides support for interactive report on Service requests. My question
- Is there any standard interactive report on service request provided by SAP CRM? I checked in ORDYWB(Interactive workbench), I did not see any report for Service report. Kindly confirm is that is the case.
Now I believe if I activate report area (Infotype) Service request in the workbench then I can create by own interactive reports for service requests. How do I activate the report area Service request- When i select and activate it - I get the message - " Info type Service request switched of"

Hi!
I hope this comes not too late, or maybe it will help others: In order to activate report area Service Requests, you have to enable business function SAP BusinessObjects Integration and CRM Interactive Reporting (CRM_ANA_BOB).
SAP does not deliver any pre-defined reports for the new report areas that are enabled by this business function. You may, however, create your own reports, just as you were able to do with the previously delivered report areas.
Best regards

Using Business area for External Reporting-Pros & Cons?

Dear Freinds,
We are a Retail Business Group half way through SAP IS Retail implementation. We have 8 legal entities, currently their complete Annual Financials are being made & audited separately. In SAP the structure is that there is Single Co. Code & transactions will be seggregated by Business Area (made manadatory for data entry) and Annual Accounts will be drawn up using Business Area.
This to me does not seem to be the right structure. I have joined the group recently, I will be much thankful to you all if you please help me list the Pros & Cons of using Business Area for external reporting.

Edited by: Rajesh Agarwal on Jan 27, 2008 6:54 PM

Dan: For management reporting you may not want to post eliminations between companies where the business areas are the same.
If the Business wants to see the eliminations between companies, within the same business area, as part of BEx reports, what should I do? They do not want to execute consolidation functions in UCMON but just want to see how the eliminations have taken place between companies with in the same business area.
Dan: As long as the partner company and partner business area are consistently included for the intercompany transactions, the eliminations between Legal and Management will agree at the top-level of each hierarchy.
Have I to introduce one more InfoObject Partner Business Area in the data basis and assign the role Sub-assignment once again?
Thanks in advance.

Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to use Webservices SDK. The process flow is explained as below:-
PeopleSoft calls Java component which schedules the BO Reports by calling BO program Objects. I was using BOE SDK before. But SAP advised to move to Webservices SDK as to remove CORBA connection issues.
Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?
Please update.

Its possible to schedule reports from web services SDK. Its stated in the Web services SDK Doc.

APEX Print Attributes for Interactive Reports versus Reports

The Print Attirbutes tab for Interactive Reports does not have the Enable Report Printing option that the same tab does for Reports. The Enable Reports option when set to Yes" puts a print link on the Reports page. Since, the option doesn't appear for under the Print Attributes tab for Interactive Reports, how can I get a print link appear on an Interactive Report page?

How to customize an interactive report PDF using a BI Publisher template

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get an interactive report to work with BI Publisher. I want it so that I can create a custom RTF template with custom headings, and then apply this for the interactive report.
On the front end, when a user runs an interactive report, they are able to hide and show columns, and then click on Actions > Download > PDF. I want this to access the custom template and return a PDF based on this template, and also showing the columns that the user has selected in the interactive report.
I have already created a custom RTF Word Doc in BI Publisher, and have uploaded it into a report query created in Apex. I am not sure though how to apply this report query to an interactive report, or if that’s even what I’m supposed to do to get it to work the way I want it to.
When editing the Report Attributes, under Print Attributes, there is a section called Printing.
Under this, there is a "Print Server Overwrite". I thought this is where you can specify your report query. But I am not sure if I even need a report query because I don't understand why you have a report query that is based on a static query, when in an Interactive Report, the user can hide columns.
I have Apex 4.0.1.00.03 and Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0d installed.
Thanks,
Gage

Hi Gage,
Custom RTF and XSL-FO templates are currently only supported with classic report regions and report queries, but not with interactive reports. So you would need to create a report query based on the SQL statement you used for your interactive report and then associated your template with that report query. Unfortunately you won't be able to use any of your customizations, filters, or column selections this way. We're planing to support report layouts with interactive reports in the future.

Marc

Interactive Report PDF Footer

We are replacing a bunch of Crystal reports with the new interactive reports. When we download an interactive report to PDF, it automatically puts the page number at the bottom right of every page. However, I'd like it to say "Page 1 of 3", "Page 2 of 3", etc. on the right side of the footer. And I'd also like it to say "Printed on 4/8/2008 at 2:15 pm" on the left side of the footer. This is what we displayed in the footer section on our old Crystal reports. I see the "Page Footer" section under "Print Attributes" for the interactive report, but I can't figure out what I need to enter into the section to make it display as described above. We are using the "Standard" print server (Apache FOP).
Darrin

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm using "apex.oraclecorp.com" and have created reports based on RTF and SQL in application shared components. If i use APEX_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL API, i'm able to get the PDF output of my report. Unfortunately, REDIRECT_URL execute STOP ENGINE api internally, which stops the apex engine for any further processing and due to this rest of my plsql logic, dynamic actions, page refresh are not working !
