3.1EA2: Automatic refreshing of report brings SQL Dev to front

Hallo Forum,
today I stumbled upon some strage behaviour of SQL Developer 3.1.06.44.
I have created a report which is actually just a select count(*) from... with some parameter. When I call the report I'm asked for the parameter and presented the result.
So far so good. But when I now set the auto refresh to 30s, SQL Developer jumps to front every 30s or at least tries to do so indicating that by blinking task bar icon.
I think the application should not push around the input focus while refreshing a report. If it's in the background it should stay there and silently refresh its window.
I use SQL Dev 64bit und Windows 7 64bit with JDK 1.6.0_29 and am connecting to Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 64bit on Windows 2008R2 64bit.

Thank you, Phil.
This worked for me in my quick test case.
Great help, as DBA group wants to allow NON-privileged users (like Developers and QA) to execute ADDM on demand.
Here is my observation for RAC database with two instances.
I have followed your instructions:
"Performance / Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor -> Run ADDM"
Then
- Uncheck box "By Creating New Snapshot" (this box was checked by default)
- Provide new "Task Name" (let's say "vr1")
- Select "Start Snapshot" (this is where my first confusion is: each screen shot # is shown twice, may be because i have two instances of RAC)
- Select "End Snapshot" (the same way: each SNAP_ID is shown twice)
- and finally APPLY button is pressed
This creates 3 reports:
vr1
vr1$1 (for instance_id=1)
vr1$2 (for instance_id=2_
So, my question is: this expected and normal behavior of the tool?
What if my RAC database has 8 instances? Then I would generate 9 separate ADDM reports?
Is this correct observation?
Thank you,
vr

Is it possible to automatically refresh a report at 15-minute intervals?

I have a user who doesn't want to have to manually refresh his onhand inventory report throughout the day. He would like, instead, for the report to automatically refresh at 15-minute intervals. I cannot find anything in the Desktop, Plus, and Viewer user guides that allow for this. We're currently using Desktop 10.1.2.48 and are deploying Plus and Viewer 10.1.2.54 CP8 after the first of the year.
I have suggested that the user insert the date/time into his report title so he can have a clue how current the data is and then manually refresh the report if he needs to. However, he would still rather have the report refresh itself.
Is this possible?

Hi,
No you cannot automatically refresh a report. Your best option is to use Viewer. You can run a report by posting a URL to the viewer report from your browser. You then create a web page that automtically refreshes the report.
To be honest though, I wouldn't use Discoverer to do this. You should look at Apex which has automatic refresh as an option for the reports and is very quick and simple to set up (and free to use!).

Automatically refresh the report tabs after selecting the parameters in bip

Hello Everything!!
Is there a way to automatically refresh all the report tabs once we select the parameters? The report are not refreshed automatically in each tab and users have to either hit apply button or refresh button for each report tab . Is this a lacking feature in BI publisher. I am using 11.1.1.6.6.

Automatically refresh a report when it loads.

Hi,
I have a report created against the service request object which is accessed from the SR page using a weblink. However when the report is displayed it does not always show the current data. I have to click the 'refresh' link at the end of report to get it to display the correct data. Ideally I would like to avoid the user having to click 'refresh' so.....
Does anyone know how i could get the report to refresh automatically when it loads so that it always shows the current data?
Thanks in advance

How to automatically refresh crystal report's viewer content

Hello,
How can I force a periodic reload of the contents of a report as displayed in crystal reports viewer? (without clicking anywhere)
The idea is simply to update the content of the screen with fresh data, that could be used as a monitoring screen.
The update must not require user intervention (no clicking, no prompting for parameters).
We are using a jsp page CrystalReportsViewer.jsp , CRJ update 2
I assume this is quite standard, and that there is a way using a javascript reload function, but I cannot find any example anywhere.
Does someone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

There's no public API on the client-side JavaScript to trigger the refresh button, but I do know some people trap the HTTP traffic (using something like Fiddler or Charles) to figure out what to do, then inject JavaScript.
I personally don't have any sample codes for this.
Sincerely,

How do you refresh a report after an update?

Hi all,
I have a Welcome Page that has several Portlets on it. One of the Portlets is a QBE report. From the report a user can click on a column record and be transported to a form, where the user can modify the record. Once the user is satisfied with the changes, the user hits the UPDATE button and is transported back to the Welcome Page. The only problem is that the Report has not been updated. Refresh does not work on the web toolbar and the only way I figured out on how to refresh the report is to go into the 'Customize' page and make some sort of change and hit O.K. After that, I am redirected back to the Welcome Page with the Report refreshed with current data. How can I refresh the report, without going into the 'Customize' Page? What code does the 'Customize' page do, to automatically refresh the report? I am using Portal 9.0.2.2.14.
TIA,
Dan

Hi,
This is due to webcache. You can solve this problem by calling the page url with an extra parameter. That way the page would get invalidated.
Say the page url is
http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema
then you should call the page like this
http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema&1=2
This just adds a dummy parameter at the end and hence invalidates the cache.
Thanks,
Sharmila

DA refresh 2 report regions

Hello All,
I have a DA that refreshes 2 report regions ( SQL query) . This works perfectly fine in 4.0.1.
However when I import it to 4.0.2 , just one region refreshed while the other fails.
Appreciate any guidance in figuring out the issue here
Details of DA :
Event : change
Selection type : Item
Item : hidden item whose value is used in where clause
True Actions :
1) Execute PLSQL to submit the hidden item
2) Refresh report1
3) Refresh report2
APEX version : 4.0.2.00.07
Thanks,
RD

Hi RD,
you could use Firebug for Firefox (on the Console you will see the AJAX calls) or the Developer Toolbar of Google Chrome to check if all 3 AJAX calls are executed and what you get in the response. I think that should help you to track down why it's working on one machine but not on the other. Please also have a look at the actual response in the AJAX calls if it's useful data.

How to prevent an automatic refresh of a dashboard

Hi,
Currently OBIEE automatically refreshes all reports of a dashboard once it's selected. This often causes a heavy load on our databases. The question is: how can I prevent an automatic refresh? I only want the dashboard to be refreshed once I click on the "Go" button of the dashboard prompt!
TIA,
Erik
Edited by: Erik on 25-Mar-2011 12:09

Hi Eric,
In the dashboard, better create a landing page. In this landing page just add the dashboard object (link or image).
Once this is configured, user have an option to navigate to the report through link.
Even we can configure the common prompts/ global prompts at the front (Landing page) with the note to the user on navigation.
By this way, you can have the control of dashboard refresh.
Thanks,

Automatic Refresh not happening on BAM Report in Active Viewer

Hi,
I am on SOA 11.1.1.4 and is connecting to an External Datasource (Oracle Database) to create Data objects. But when i am creating a report on it, I am not able to see the report in Active viewer getting refreshed automatically instead I have to Reprompt for the changes. I want the reports to automatically refresh after an interval, any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Ayush

Is your popup blocker turned off? I can only imaging that the popup blocker may be keeping the Live Data window from appearing and updating the dashboard. Active Studio doesn't do a Live update, but an update on report load.

Automatically refresh the OBIEE report

How to refresh a OBIEE report automatically, when the data in the database changes?

Thanks for the reply.
I have to refresh the report only when the data in the database changes. If I use a variable then I would have to set the variable to some fixed number of seconds and the report would be refreshed every 'n' seconds. That is not what is expected.

Refresh Webi reports automatically after BI data loads ?

Hello,
We are about to install BOE X.1 on top of BI 701.
The idea would be that the users would perform their WebI daily reporting, but obviously only after SAP BI night batch scheduling is finished, and the BI infoproviders filled.
I've read that BOE ofers you the ability to refresh the reports upfront.
We were wondering if there is a way to easily implement this logical dependance : to refresh the Webi Report only after the end of BI data loads.
There is off course, the possibility to use an external scheduler, but we have checked the licencing and it's quite expensive.
Is there another way to do so ?
Many thanks for your attention.
Best Regards.
Raoul

Hi Alan,
Thank you very much for your quick answer.
I would like to make sure that I understand you since I'm not very familliar with BOE :
First , we create an event in the CMC and connect it to a file location
Then we schedule the document and add the file event : do you mean schedule the webi report ?
Finally create the file as part of the Bex query refresh process : how exactly do we do that, in the BI process chains ?
Thank you very in advance for your help.
Best Regards.

$a_report to refresh a report but it is not picking up the bind variable

Hi
APEX          -     Application Express 4.1.0
Browsers     -     All
Database     -     11g2
I have a tree region on a page. When a user clicks a leaf of the tree I want to be able to use the ID to refresh a report in a different region on the same page
Code for when the user clicks the leaf
$('div.tree li a').click( function() {
node_id = $(this).parents('li:first').attr('id');
if (node_id.substr(0,node_id.indexOf('|')) == 'Y')
$s('P4_SELECTED_VALUE',node_id.substr(node_id.indexOf('|')+1));
alert('Value Set: ' + $v('P4_SELECTED_VALUE'));
//$a_report('28576803999973770','1','20','20');
$a_report($v('P4_REPORT_ID'),'1','20','20');
SQL Statement
SELECT *
FROM PRODS p WHERE PROD_CODE = :P4_SELECTED_VALUE
The problem I have is that when the report is run (I know it is refreshing) the P4_SELECTED_VALUE bind variable is set to NULL.
The alert pop contains the correct value and when I make the P4_SELECTED_VALUE visible it also contains the value?
Any help is much appreciated
Rob

Rob,
You need to insert P4_SELECTED_VALUE value into APEX session before refreshing the report.
Add following JS function in your page
//insert value into session using JS
function fnSetSessionState(pItem, pValue) {
    var vAjaxDummy = new htmldb_Get(null, $v('pFlowId'), null, 0);
    vAjaxDummy.add(pItem, pValue);
    var vDummy = vAjaxDummy.get();
    vAjaxDummy = null;
}and your code..
$('div.tree li a').click( function() {
node_id = $(this).parents('li:first').attr('id');
if (node_id.substr(0,node_id.indexOf('|')) == 'Y')
$s('P4_SELECTED_VALUE',node_id.substr(node_id.indexOf('|')+1));
alert('Value Set: ' + $v('P4_SELECTED_VALUE'));
fnSetSessionState('P4_SELECTED_VALUE',$v('P4_SELECTED_VALUE'));
//$a_report('28576803999973770','1','20','20');
$a_report($v('P4_REPORT_ID'),'1','20','20');
});This is how I used to do in version 3.2 or before. But now I prefer to use Declarative dynamic actions..

Sql server 2005 reports with sql server 2014

Can i upload SSRS 2005 reports as it is on SSRS 2014 and use it without doing anything extra or without changing anything ??
I can use SSRS 2005 reports as it is with SSRS 2012. But for SSRS 2014 not sure.

You can upgrade the the RDL schema will be upgraded.
Report definition (.rdl) files are automatically upgraded in the following ways:
When you open a report in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), the report definition is upgraded to the currently supported RDL schema. When you specify a SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 report server in the project properties, the report
definition is saved in a schema that is compatible with the target server.
When you upgrade a Reporting Services installation to a SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services (SSRS) installation, existing reports and snapshots that have been published to a report server are compiled and automatically upgraded to the new schema the first
time they are processed. If a report cannot be automatically upgraded, the report is processed using the backward-compatibility mode. The report definition remains in the original schema.
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
After a report is upgraded locally or on the report server, you might notice additional errors, warnings, and messages. This is the result of changes to the internal report object model and processing components, which cause messages to appear when underlying
problems in the report are detected. For more information, see Reporting Services Backward Compatibility.
For more information about new features for SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services (SSRS), see
What's New (Reporting Services).

USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

Dear All,
HELP!!!
A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
Pls note that the following has been completed:
1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
Many thx
DI

Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.

Need help in Report From SQL Query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with a report. I need your help.
I am creating a Report From SQL Query (Portal) with some arguments passed at runtime. I am able to view the output, if the query returns few rows ( arount 1000 rows). But for some inputs it needs to generate >15000 records, at this point the page is getting time out (i think!) and showing error page. I am able to execute query from the SQL Plus console ot using TOAD editor. Here the query is not taking more that 2 mins time to show the result.
If i am executing from Portal i observed that, once i give the appropriate input and hit submit button a new oracle process is getting created for the query on UNIX (I am usign "TOP" command to check processes). The browser page will be shown error page after 5 minutes (i am assuming session time out!) , but on the backend the process will be executed for more than 30 mins.
I tried also increase the page time out in httpd.conf, but no use.
The data returned as a result of the query is sized more than 10 MB. Is caching this much data is possible by the browser page? is the returned data is creating any problem here.
Please help me to find appropriate reasone for the failure?

There could be a variety of reasons for the delayed processing of this report. That includes parameter settings for that page, cache settings, network configurations, etc.
- explore best optimization for your query;
- evaluate portal for best performance configuration; you may follow this note (Doc ID: *438794.1* ) for ideas;
- third: for that particular page carrying that report, you can use caching wisely. browser cache is neither decent for large files, nor practical. instead, explore the page cache settings that portal provides.
- also look for various log files (application.log and apache logs) if you are getting any warnings reflecting on some kind of processing halt.
- and last but not the least: if you happen to bring up a portal report with more than 10000 rows for display then think about the usage of the report. Evaluate whether that report is good/useful for anything?
