WebDB report questions

We are running WebDB 2.2, I have WebDB reports I have created using a SQL query that I wish to change the format.
1. Currently my report has column headings on one line, I wish to change and display column headings using two lines in order to allow me to reduce the size of some columns and expand the size of others I am trying to reduce wrapping for description. Is this possible?
2. I have selected to sum fields in column formatting and when I run the report it shows both page sums and total sums, on a one page report I would like to eliminate the page sums, any idea how?
3. If I have a link from one report to another, the report that I link to displays the linked parameter at the bottom of the page, is it possible to move that value to the top of the page? Is it also possible to make that value a link to yet another report? Is it possible to have multiple links within the same report?
Any help would be appreciated

hello,
can you please verify that you are on the latest patchset of the release you are using. (1) sounds like an issue that should be eliminated by now.
as for two i would do the following
select * from emp where deptno = 10 and (empno = :p_empno or :p_empno is null)
using bind variables is always better in terms of performance than lexicals as the SQL statement can be cached on the database side. and personally i try to do comparisons before functions.
thanks,
ph.

  • WebDB report problems

    For some reason, my WebDB reports will get altered and WebDB will not let me edit them. They will continue to run fine, but WebDB wont let me edit them. When I click edit on an existing report, it will bring up a new report with a randomly generated name with no tables or views listed, instead of the existing report's attributes. However, this doesn't happen every time I try to edit a report. I haven't noticed any pattern either. It just seems like after I edit a report numerous times, this problem will occur. I figured it may be a flaw in the software or a permission problem. Every time I edit a report, a backup is made of that previous version. As far as replicated the problem, I'm unsure. It seems to be random. Any clue?

    Thanks for your suggestion. This might be a dumb question. How do I know that I got Report 6i Beta2? Here is the readme.txt from the Report 6i CD:
    Oracle Forms & Oracle Reports 6i Pre-release
    Please note: this is a pre-release copy of the Oracle Developer
    SERVER CD. As a result, the 'Deployment' install option will install
    JUST the Forms and Reports Servers. In order to install the
    builders, please perform a 'Custom' install when prompted, and then
    select the components you wish to install (hold down CTRL and click
    components to select multiple components at once).
    Don't worry if you are not certain about which components need
    to be installed - if one component requires/has a dependency on another
    (eg both Forms and Reports require the System Support Files), then
    these components will be automatically installed as well.

    Would you please tell me if I have Report 6i beta2? How can I get one?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Migrate WebDB reports into HTML DB

    Hi,
    We have a custom application Build on Oracle 8.0 and WebDb and we would like to migrate these webdb reports on to HTML DB on 10g database. So, my question is, can we re-create the webdb reports in html db or can we convert directly into html db. Also, is it easy task or difficult one? also would like to know any better solution for this?
    Could you please share your views on this.
    thx

    Jeff - I don't understand any of that. There is an attribute of the authentication scheme, Invalid Session Page. Set that to the page ID of the desired login page. If that page has a login process (like that on page 101), then it may need to be changed to reference items on the actual login page instead of items on page 101, e.g., P101_USERNAME. And don't put branches on the login page that are intended to fire after the authentication takes place. The login API does a redirect for you based on the after-login page argument in the login process on the page.

  • Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

    Hello,
    I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
    I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
    Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
    The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
    How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
    Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

  • Updateable Report Question.

    Updateable Report Question.
    Currently I am developing an XE application, so I think that is apex 2.0.
    Here is an example of what I wish to achieve.
    Suppose I have an emp table with columns
    dept, id, name and comment.
    I create an SQL report as
    SELECT * from emp;
    I only wish to see the name and comment columns, so in the report attributes I un-tick show the columns dept and id.
    I want the user to be able to update the comment column, So I edit the comment column and in “Tabular Form Element” I change the “Display As” from “Standard Report Column” to “Text Field”
    This now lets me edit the data in the column in the report.
    Now want to add in an on change event to call a javascript routine that will use ajax to do the actual update.
    My problem is that I need to pass in the “hidden” dept and id column values as well as the modified text, thus
    In “Tabular Form Element” – “Element Attributes” add in
    onchange="updateRemarks(#DEPT#, #ID#, this.value)"
    Unfortunately this does not work, apex does not expand the #DEPT# & #ID#, and just passes in the literal text.
    So how can I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    GP>

    The columns and rows have a set format for the Id, so if you know one Id you know the row and the ids of all the other columns.
    As an example, this will show the value of column 6 when you click on any column with the function call in the Element Attributes:
    Script:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function showCol6(col){
      var col6 = document.getElementById("f06_" + col.id.substr(4,4));
      alert(col6.value);
    </script>Element Attributes:
    onclick=showCol6(this);You could also use a Named Column template, specific to this region, to include the column values directly in the function call, but I think it's best to stick with the ApEx defaults if possible.

  • BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

    Hi Gurus,
    Here is my issue.
    I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
    Two Columns
    One Key Figure:                   Subtotal1
    One Restricted Key Figure:  Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
    Two Rows                             Plant, Sales Organization
    One Variable with Sales Organization.
    When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
    Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
    I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
    Thanks

  • Running SQL in a WebDB report header

    Is there any way to have a SQL statement generate data in the header of a WebDB Report? I've tried placing the oracle tag before and after the SQL, but the SQL text appears as the header to the report.

    Have you tryed creating a stored procedure
    which generates Html using the htp procedures
    For example
    create or replace procedure reportheader
    as
    cursor cSelectSomething is SELECT data
    FROM table;
    BEGIN
    FOR rij in cSelectSomething
    LOOP
    htp.print(rij.data);
    END LOOP;
    END;
    grant execute on reportheader to public;
    Now use this in your report header(no oracle tags necessary)
    [owner].reportheader;
    Good Luck

  • Supply Shortage Report question

    Hi
    Supply Shortage Report question:
    In my cube I have material, 0calday, receipts and demand key figures.
    Formula for Supply Shortage = Receipts u2013 Demand.
    Users want to see number of consecutive days a particular productu2019s Supply shortage value is below zero.
    Input criteria:
    Date range:
    Consecutive days:
    For e.g. If user enters date range as u201C06/01/2010 u2013 07/31/2010u201D and Consecutive days as u201C4u201D they want to see all the products which have u2013ve Supply shortage values consecutively for 4days or more.
    Can anyone tell me how we can accomplish this in Bex? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Please check the follwoing option.
    Load the msae data in one more DSO which will be a lookup DSO. In that DSO theer will be a daily load with the date as "Historization Date" which will keep the Current date with every load. In that DSO calculate Shortage Indiactor
    Shortage Indicator 1 if Receipts < requirement.
    By doing this you will be having Data with Historization date (Daily) with an Indicator for Shortage.
    Now while loading this cube populate one Chracteritics a Shortage Counter by doing look up theis DSO.
    You need to Indicator in the DSO with today's date and historization date and you need to add the counter on the basis of avilable consecutive entries by putting a loop for the same.
    By this approach you may achieve your need.
    I hope it will help.
    Thanks,

  • Report questions

    hi all,
             please send me the answer for the following questions,
    1.how to add extra column to the existing report.
    2.how to add new field to existing report.
    regards
    Suprith

    Hi
    for adding the extra field and column for the existing report  you add that field in the structure and put that field in the select statement and write statement.
    i am giving an example for better understanding.
    this is my existing report:
    tables:sflight.
    types: begin of st_table,
           carrid type s_carr_id,
           connid type s_conn_id,
          end of st_table.
    data:wa_table type st_table,
         it_table type standard table of st_table.
    select-options:s1 for sflight-carrid.
    select carrid connid  from sflight  into table it_table
        where carrid in s1.
    loop at it_table into wa_table.
    write:/ wa_table-carrid,
            wa_table-connid.
            endloop.
    this is modified one:
    tables:sflight.
    *----structure declaration
    types: begin of st_table,
           carrid type s_carr_id,
           connid type s_conn_id,
           fldate type s_date,"i add this field into this structure
            end of st_table.
    data:wa_table type st_table,
         it_table type standard table of st_table.
    select-options:s1 for sflight-carrid.
    select carrid connid fldate from sflight  into table it_table
        where carrid in s1."i put that field in select statement
    loop at it_table into wa_table.
    write:/ wa_table-carrid,
            wa_table-connid,
            wa_table-fldate."here i wrote that field
            endloop.
    if you execute this you will get that extra field and extra column for that existing report.

  • Simple Report Question

    CA Forum: General
    I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report.  My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

    That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"

  • Multiple Column Report Question

    Post Author: LCS213
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep.  The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page. 
    Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this?  I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns".  But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups.  Am I mistaken?  Is there a workaround I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

    Hi Dan,
    According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
    on eighteen separated pages, right?
    In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
    add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
    1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
     Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
    2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
    3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
    4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
    If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.

  • Multiple page report question

    My client would like to run a report by project. A project can have multiple sub-tasks and each sub-task can have additional tasks.  Each additional task has 6 sections on the report which all need to be separated by page breaks.  The report
    need to separated by the additional tasks so in the example below I would have 18 pages of reports, grouped by Sub task and Additional task.  How do I group this report to make it work correctly?  Would sub-reports work better - still having trouble
    with the grouping issue as well on those.

             Sub task 1

  • Summary Report question regarding data that is included and data that is not.

    I have a survey that is running at the momemt with about 15% of the expected responses(250-300) which I'll gather over the next couple of weeks. When I check the current Summary Report it omits several of the questions and answers shown in the current Analyze table. Is this to be expected? I really like the Summary Report and want my co-chairs to be able to enter when they have time to glance at the current results via the Summary Report tab.
