10g R2 Column Header Issue

I have been working with the new OracleAS 10g R2 Discoverer Plus (Drake) and am concerned about the height of the column header cells. The labels within the column headers are almost cut off, which is super annoying. I've tried all sorts of formatting to fix this but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to change the height of the column header cells?

It seems like this problem might be related to the one we are seeing with the wrapping option for the column headers. Even though the wrap text option is on, in Plus the header just gets truncated and in Viewer the entire header appears on one line, causing the column to expand.

Datagrid column header word wrap issue

Hi All,
I'm passing dynamic text to a datagrid column header. The word wrap is true but it's not working.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
DataGridColumn headerText="{myVar.text} Total" headerWordWrap="true"
Thanks
Johnny

@Johnny,
Try to make use of the headerRenderer property and use <mx:Text /> control as a renderer so that your headerText gets wrapped..
Thanks,

Column header sort - case sensitivity issue

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with the built in column sorting when you click the headers on a report. Basically case sensitivity is taken into account and capital letters get sorted before smaller case letters, for example:
Cats
Dogs
Zebra
ants
bears
How would I be able to fix this built in sort?
Thanks,
Luis

Luis,

Column Header Wrapping Issue in OBIEE

Hi All,
We are facing issue with the Column Header Wrapping . Our requirement is to wrap the column header to three lines. Few users are able to see the wrapped header in three lines, few are able to see it in two lines . Even though the Browser is same and the screen size (of laptop / desktop) is same we are facing issue with few users. It is also different in different instances . For ex, In DEV instance it is wrapped in three lines but for the same user with same laptop same browser , it is not wrapped in TEST instance.
Options tried :
Reducing the width in the additional column properties wraps the header in four line
CSS Styling : word-wrap:break-word
Why is there difference in wrapping between the instance for the same user ? Any help , would be appreciated.

My dear,
All blogs and sites are teaches about the ways to implement/create a specific functionality.
Let me go to bed to dream your issue and share that with blog owner so that he can put your issue ;)
stay tune

Interactive Report, issue with backgroud color of Column Heading.

Hi,
I am using Theme -16
and there is a Interactive Report with the following columns Headings
Employee Name   Employee No DOB
Now, the label of the first column is changed from Employee Name to Employee<br>name.
The column heading is now displayed as follows.
Employee   Employee No   DOB
Name         problem is when I add a break in any of the column heading..the background color of the column headings is different than the first one (little bit darker).
Why the background ground of the column heading is different in both these cases??.
Thanks,
Deepak

Why the background ground of the column heading is different in both these cases??.The report heading background is controlled by the CSS rule
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA th {
background: #4e4e4e;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
border-top: 1px #ccc solid;
border-bottom: 1px #aaa solid;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: center;
letter-spacing: 1;
font-size: 8pt;
background-image: url(../ws/report_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}This uses a [gradient image|http://apex.oracle.com/i/ws/report_bg.gif] that is repeated horizontally to provide a shaded background from light to dark grey. As the background image doesn't repeat vertically, when the height of the heading is more than the height of the image the gradient is replaced by the underlying background colour (#4e4e4e). This is what's happening when the break is inserted into the header text: the height of the heading increases, causing more of the darker area of the background image/underlying colour to be visible.

Datagrid column header event issue

Hi,
I'm trying to find the event that gets triggered when a
column header is dragged and one when its droped to a new position
in the grid but no luck so far Any ideas ?
Thanks.

The DataGrid's headerShift event will be dispatched when the
mouse is released with the column in a new position.
As for detecting the actual drag of the column, you need more
primative events. You can listen for mouseDown events and note the
row number (header row is row 0). You can then listen for mouseMove
events while the mouse is dragging the column.

IR column heading spanning mutiple lines colour issues

Hi,
I'm using APEX v4.0.2 and thanks to this forum I'm aware of the problem around the banding of column headings in IRs when they span multiple lines. I've cured the problem by adding the following in the page header as suggested in previous postings;
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA th {
background: #4682b4;
</style>
However, my problem is when I now click on the column heading to use the filters, etc, the colour reverts back to gray again. Is there anything I need to add to change the background colour of the heading when it's clicked?
Thanks

Interactive Report (IR) column heading: filtered items number & flashlight

Hello everyone
several hours of searching through the forum did not provide me with leads or answers to 2 questions. Both are related to the IR column heading menu and options. Let's start with a copy of the relevant portion of the interactive report help screen:
Column Heading Menu
Clicking on any column heading exposes a column heading menu.
[snip]
Text Area is used to enter case insensitive search criteria (no need for wild cards). Entering a value will reduce the list of values at the bottom of the menu. You can then select a value from the bottom and the selected value will be created as a filter using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC'). Alternatively, you can click the flashlight icon and the entered value will be created as a filter with the 'LIKE' modifier (e.g. column LIKE '%ABC%').
List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values that meet your filters. If the column is a date, a list of date ranges is displayed instead. If you select a value, a filter will be created using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC').
Q1: Why do I not see a flashlight icon? I looked everywhere in the report definition to "enable" it, to no avail.
Q2: Although we've found IRs to be incredibly useful and embraced by end users, we are having issues when dealing with large datasets. Let's look at searching for people's first/last name in our CONTACTS table. The table is ~28,000 names long. If one attempts to use Column Heading menu to "filter" for any name outside the first 500 unique values, the search does not work. Yes, I know that a workaround is to use Actions Menu icon filter... but, it sure is misleading to have a search which does not go beyond letter B in the list of last names. Furthermore, I do not see a way to DISABLE Column Heading Text Area, and avoid user confusion.
I suspect that "List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values" was set for the performance purposes. Is there a way to set that number anywhere? Have it customized for each column? (columns county and state could be <100, for example)
Thanks an advance to any advice.
Vojin

@Prabodh: what you say is only changing the default image for the column selector at the search bar level. What i think is being looked for is an icon on the popup when a column header is clicked in an IR. Don't bother: there is none.
@Vojin, Tonibony:
I also ran into this problem with IRs and the useless column header box. If you want to hide the unique values list, it is a bother. First of all, you can't disable the finding of values, this is embedded in the widget ajax code. Then if you want to just hide the list, there is no real event you can hook up to. The poping up of the box is an ajax callback, and is part of the IR javascript, but this callback does not trigger any event (no apexafterrefresh for example, which is understandable). I've worked around this by overriding/extending the method which is called when ajax is done loading within the IR code. Here is a piece of code which does this (call it on page load):
   // _Finished_Loading is called when the IR is done with a GET action
   // because the posts are synchronous in this report, and no events
   // or hooks are available, the best way to preserve functionality
   // yet extending it is to override the original function, yet
   // keep the base code
   // apexafterrefresh cant be used since it is not triggered after
   // the widget ajax
   var or_Finished_Loading = gReport._Finished_Loading;
   gReport._Finished_Loading = function(){
       //overriden, but still have to call orinigal!
      or_Finished_Loading();
      //SORT_WIDGET is the widget containing all the header elements
      if(gReport.current_control=='SORT_WIDGET'){
         // hide the original dropdown box
         $("#apexir_rollover_content").hide();
   };If you're interested, i've recently developed a plugin for use in my interactive reports which works around some of these limitations. For me, the headers are much more userfriendly than the actions > filter menu. So what i've done is: hide the orignal dropdown, and turn the searchfield into an autocompletion field, which will progressively search through the distinct column values in the IR with ajax. I've even made an option to have the searching behave like a "contains" or a "like". I'm working on a post about it, with background, documentation and source code. I'll add a post here when i finish it up, you can see if that helps you.
I also would like to add a button later on which will simply add the entered value as a "like %value%" filter. I know how to do this and what to do, i'm just a bit short on time at the moment. I actually think that adding the button in the layout may be the hardest part... :')

Infinite loop creating new page due to column header overflow.

i am getting an error and some pages "Infinite loop creating new page due to column header overflow. " --
using report builder 9, i have a fairly simple report - that contains 4 subreports.
for some pages i get the error - it seems if there is more data than would fit on 1 page.
smaller pages work fine.
the subreports are all simple queries and dumps....
containing page header, column header, detail sections.
page header has just a text bar of the name of the section.
column header has the field names
detail section has the data - 1 row for each row in the recordset.
nothing i do seems to change getting "Infinite loop creating new page due to column header overflow. " on a page with more than 15-20 records returned.
any ideas would be appreciated.

Want to display a date in column heading.

Hi all,
Will be thankful, if anyone can tell me how to solve one of the issue i am facing in webi variable display.
In universe, i am creating one prompt for date and user will enter the desired date, and with respect to that date, the previous date and previous month last working date will come. In my Webi report , i have 3 dates and one measure(Quantity) with other dimensions like Product and Subproduct.
I have one cross table in which in want to show the 3 dates as Column heading, Product as row heading and Quantity(measure) in the table body. I have one more dimension as Area... which i want to show in horizontal way, for each Area, i want to show prompted date, previous date and previous month last date. I have created 3 variables....
1. Current date = Max(date) In Report
2. Previous date = Min(date) In Report
3. Previous Month last day = (date) where (Rank = 2) ForEach(date)
By this way, I am able to show Current date and Previous Month last day in column heading, but not Previous day. Will appreciate if anyone can help me on the issue. let me know if any other information is required.
Thanks
Archit Sarwal

Hi,
The previous date is the previous business day, it can be dynamic. And previous month's last day is last business day, it can also be dynamic. And Previous daye can also be previous month's last business day in one of the scenerio.
Actually i am using 3 filters with prompts (common prompt) in universe side. User will enter the date and corrosponding previous business day and previous month's last business day will come. 3 filters are:
1. Current_Day = @prompt('Enter Date(YYYYMMDD)','A',,Mono,Free,Persistent)
2. Previous_Day = (SELECT TOP 1 Date from [TableName] where Date < @prompt('Enter Date(YYYYMMDD)','A',,Mono,Free,Persistent) Order By Date Desc)
3. Prior_Month last Day = (SELECT TOP 1 Date from [TableName] T where Month(T.Date) = Month(DateAdd(mm,-1,@prompt('Enter Date(YYYYMMDD)','A',,Mono,Free,Persistent))) Order By T.Date Desc)
Dates are coming correct from Universe. In Webi, i have created variables...
CurrentDate = max([Date]) In Report
LastDate = Min([Date]) In Report
PriorDate = [(Date]) where ([Rank]=2) ForEach ([Date])
I have calculated Rank for Date, and Rank 2 shows the Prior Date. Also, i have Entity, and want to show these dates for each entity along with 2 -3 more columns that depends on these 3 dates values. I am attaching the screenshot for the sample.
Thanks

Internal Table to Excel with Column Header line

Hello everyone,
I need to download Internal table data to excel with a column header line.
My Code is as follows:
TYPES: BEGIN OF y_hdr,
        head(30) TYPE c,
        END OF y_hdr.
Data: t_hdr TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF y_hdr.
Fill internal table t_adrcdata
fill the header table t_hdr
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
        filename                      = C:\test.xls
        filetype                        = 'DBF'
    IMPORTING
      TABLES
        data_tab                        = t_adrcdata
       fieldnames                       = t_hdr
     EXCEPTIONS
       file_write_error                = 1
       no_batch                        = 2
This code gives me a row with column headers.
However they are all truncated after 10 chars.
The truncation is independent of column data length. Data could be of length 2,5 or 40 but the header always displays upto 10 chars.
Keeping the filename as test.xls, when I download it in ASC format instead of DBF the headers are of proper length.
What could I be doing wrong?
I know this topic has been discussed before but my question is pertaining to DBF Format download. The reason I chose DBF format is because it downloads the data in DB format and does not give in to Excel formatting.
FOr example in ASC format:
1, A field of type Char(12) used to get downloaded into excel without the leading zeros. 000012345678 --> 12345678
2. Date in format dd-MMM-yyyy in a char(11) field used to get downloaded to excel in dd-MMM-yy format.
When I chose DBF, this issue was resolved. However, the column headers got truncated at 10 chars.
Please feel free to recommend any other way of downloading to Excel and preserving format if this method is incorrect/ there is a better way.

Hi,
Take 'ASC' format for file type.
But when you declare your internal table to pass for FM you have to create all the fields with char.
Example:
data: begin of it_exl occurs 0,
        bukrs(04) type c,
        belnr(10) type c,
        buzei(03) type c,
end of ut_exl.
You need to manipulate your date format and other stuff before appending to this internal table.
Thanks,
Deepak.

Problem gui_download -Data looks messy without proper column header

Dear SDNers,
Scenario:
Using FM GUI_download to download excel file to Presentation server.
Excel file downloads perfecly fine on presentation server with proper column headers when the OS is not XP/Vista.
Issue:
when i run this program on my system having Windows Vista,Excel downloads but the column header is all jumbled up without proper differetation.
Kindly let me know what the the issue could be?
My Effort:
I did some googling and found that in Function Modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD.
The form of the file name depends on the underlying operating system.
To make your programs portable to different operating systems, we should use the function module FILE_GET_NAME.
which returns the system-dependent name for an abstract file name.
Kindly let me know if this is correct.
Reason am asking is now i dont have access to code and check the same since i dont have authorization.
Regards,
SuryaD.

Supress Column Heading - File Content Conversion in Sender Adapter

Hi,
Let me give a more clear picture about my scenario. I need to convert CSV File to XML output:-
My source file has column heading and values. The sample data is mentioned hereunder:-
PERNR;KID;PNALT;NACHN;NAME2;VORNA
;1200;1200;Angus
I have created a data type as under:-
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
     Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
          Header (Category - Element, Occurence - 0...1)
               PERNR_H
               KID_H
               PNALT_H
               NACHN_H
               NAME2_H
               VORNA_H
          Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
               PERNR
               KID
               PNALT
               NACHN
               NAME2
               VORNA
The file conversion parameters in the file sender adapter are mentioned hereunder:-
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Header,1,Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
I dont' have a key field value. How do we remove the header and show only the values in the xml output. I have searched the forum topics as well checked many blogs related to file content conversion, but nothing helped. Kindly advice how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
Change your File Adapter as below
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
There is no need for the Header required in the data type.
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
PERNR
KID
PNALT
NACHN
NAME2
VORNA
Now the trick is in the mapping program
Lets assume your mapping looks like
MT_LegacyEmployee ---> MT_TargetEmployee
- Employees ---> Records
   - Employee ---> Record
     - PERNR ---> TargetPERNR
     - .. so on
When you do a mapping from Employee ---> Record apply the following logic.
(PERNR)--->
             (TestEquals =) --->(NOT)--->
(Constant) --->                                (IF)
(PERNR)                       (IF Without Else) ---> (Record)
                                               (THEN)
                            (Employee)--->
When doing this make sure RightClick on PERNR and Select Context ---> Employees.
By default context would be from Employee and it will give you an error of XSD format. So make sure you are changing the context.

In BI Bex Query Designer output, dont want to have unit at column Heading..

Hi
I have a BI Bex Query Designer report showing output with Qty unit at Column Heading level. Even in KF's Text i didn't mention unit. I want unit to appear to column fields instead of column heading. Pls let me know how to do that.
One more thing is: i have 2 reports exactly same except due date range is different. first report showing unit for each KF at the column heading level and for 2nd report showing column fields level... Surprising. Pls let me know what is the reason and how to control it.
Thanks...

Hi Harpal,
Key figures can have scaling factors and units/currencies. Normally, units/currencies are displayed for every key figure, but not the scaling factors. If you activate the Display Scaling Factors for Key Figures, an additional header row is added to the row or column header. Information about the scaling factor and currency/unit appears in this additional header row, as long as it is consistent (for example, 1,000 EURO).
For more information, You can go through
