Ability to link to MAS reports stored in unix directories

Hi,
How can we give link on a report column to go pdf report stored in unix directory. And Based upon user prompts by award or award name return complete list of MAS reports available.

Paul,
Thanks for your quick response. It is a pity that the file path is to be in Unix format. We now need a two-staged procedure where the file first is written to a 'temp' directory that is known to both the reports server (in Unix format) and to the browser clients (in UNC format). After writing the file to this directory, we can use webutil to copy the file to it's final destination as specified by the user. A little awkward, but it is a whole lot better than no file at all !
Thanks again,
Gerrit

Resultset of main report passed as parameter to child report stored proc

Post Author: chicagolad
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I seem to be in a bind with this issue. I have a main report and sub report. The main report takes in a comma seperated value as a parameter to the stored procedure. The result set of which is used to group 20 sub reports. These subreports use a different stored procedure to which I need to send the group value which is a part of the result set table I get for the main report. Come what may, I am not able to link the main report with the sub report.
To repeat the question, how do i pass the a result column of the main report as parameter to the sub report stored procedure? Any insight will be much appreciated.
TIA
chicagolad

Raghavendra,
It seems that no matter what I do, using the parameter ?TagNumber as the item to link from in the main report (Subreport Links) will not give any results no matter which item I link to in the subreport, but if I use the specific data item that the parameter represents, then any of the choices in the lower left "subreport parameter field to use" will work. So I can simply use the specific data item and everything works fine. It's strange, as last week using the parameter of the main report worked, but as I have a working solution I don't have to resolve that. (There was data for the parameter value,as I printed the parameter value in the report and the selected value was shown.).
This is now resolved. Thanks for your help.

Load Multiple Images using link in Crystal Report

Hi Guys,
I am currently in need of developing a new requirement for our company's client. We have to load multiple images using just link in Crystal Report. Let's say that the images are stored in a folder (e.g., C:\Datafolder\Images\) and i have to fetch two images to show in crystal report (say, C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval1 and C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval2). These are actually dynamically created and therefore the number of images are not known and so i have to iterate through the list of image links.
Is it possible using merely crystal report and how?. Please take note that we're also using C# in developing our software applications.
Thanks and best regards.
---CHITO--

Hi Chito,
You cannot load multiple images dynamically. Using the 'graphic location' formula for the OLE Object, you can only point to a location that can load one image.
For the second image, you'll need to manually insert another OLE Object and point the formula to the next image's location.
You can try posting to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio space to find out whether this can be done using CR SDK.

SQL report link to another report

Hello,
I am using Apex 4 and trying to link an sql report with another report. If I were able to use an interactive report I could easily link that to another page, but that would require me to have a primary key. The problem is that I need to link a few tables. So two questions:
1.) Can I link these via an HTML link to my other page? I would have a HTML link in my report that would link via URL parameter passing. So can I use HTML in a report?
2.) What is the syntax for a parameter passing via URL? Here is my link that would be:
a href= f?p=107:40:&APP_SESSION::::P40_NAME:MARK: Are there any other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Mark

I am using Apex 4 and trying to link an sql report with another report. If I were able to use an interactive report I could easily link that to another page
It's easy in standard reports< /a>. (Ignore the "Interactive Report" typo in step 1.)
1.) Can I link these via an HTML link to my other page? I would have a HTML link in my report that would link via URL parameter passing. So can I use HTML in a report?You can, but it's better practice to keep data retrieval and HTML structure separate when possible—in this case by using declarative Column Links.
2.) What is the syntax for a parameter passing via URL?This is also covered in the documentation.
Here is my link that would be: a href= f?p=107:40:&APP_SESSION::::P40_NAME:MARK:
{quote}
That looks to have the order of the parameters correct, but it's missing some syntax:<a href="f?p=107:40:&APP_SESSION.::::P40_NAME:MARK">...</a>
The static text exact substitution method of referencing the value of an APEX item requires a terminating dot ("."): <tt>&APP_SESSION.</tt>

How to link a webi report from crystal report

Hello everyone,
I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

Links in Discoverer Reports

I am new to Discoverer Reports so i want know, how to implement links in discoverer reports, I have two worksheets/links/pages in a
Discoverer Report, in the first worksheet/page some data will be displayed,
i want to display links for a particular column, if i click on the column value/cell value, it should take me to another page/worksheet with the column value
/cellvalue as parameter to the next page/link.
Provide me a solution for creating this discoverer report.
Thanks,
Manju.

Manju,
I'm not sure which version of Discoverer are you using. If you are using Discoverer 10gR2 then you can follow these steps fot that. I'm assume you want to show header(Eg; PO) information on one sheet and when user click on it you want to show the (PO)line information. Taking the PO report as example follow these steps in discoverer plus.
Create 2 worksheets with the necessary information.Keep the PO Number in both the sheets. Select PO Number then goto Tools-->Manage Links and select the destination workbook and sheet. Give a name to the link. This will give you the information you need but will still show you line level information for all the PO's. Create a condition in both sheets for PO Number go back to edit link and the parameters button is enabled select the PO# parameter there. Hope this helps.

Link from BIP report to P6RiskModule

A client of mine is running BI Publisher 11g. In BIP they have a report summarizing the risk against a project. This report is displayed in a BIP Dashboard. The client would like a link in the report that would take them directly to the P6RiskModule. The usernames and passwords for BIP and P6 are identical, so ideally the link should log the user into P6 and display the risk details as entered in P6.
Can anyone assist?

if you are on 11.1.1.6 version you can do it i think .
check the link below

Enhancements to Parameter Display Options
Enhancements to parameter display options include:
Support for radio button and check box display of values
Parameters that are defined as a menu in the data model can now be configured to display the menu options as a list of radio buttons or check boxes. Parameters configured to support one value support the option to display as radio buttons. Parameters configured to support multiple values support the option to display as check boxes.
New options for placement of parameters in the report viewer
Previously the report viewer always displayed the parameters in a horizontal region across the top of the viewer. In this release the display of the parameter region can also be configured in one of the following ways:
In a vertical region along the right side of the viewer
As a dialog
As a separate full page
New report viewer action button to show or hide parameters
This release adds an action button to the report viewer to enable users to hide or show the parameter region. This enhancement complements the new parameter display options. When report parameters are configured to display as a dialog or in a separate full page, the parameter display region is dismissed when the viewer displays the report. Use the Parameters button to redisplay the parameter region to make new selections.
Search added to menus
All parameter menus having more than a specified number of options provide a Search option. For more information, see Section 3.3.1.1, "The Parameter Search Dialog."
Option to remove the Apply button
Reports can now be configured to remove the parameter Apply button. In these reports the action of selecting a new parameter value automatically reruns the report.

Insert a link on xml report. The link should open up a document(PDFS).

Is it possible to insert a link in the report? The value would come from a sql query. The link when clicked on would open up the pdf or doc.
Is this done thru a href or by inserting a dynamic hyper link.
The release Release 5.6.2 documentation references how to insert a hyperlink. NOt sure if this will work for me.
I tried it but in the documentation it states:
>
If your input XML data includes an element that contains a hyperlink or part of
one, you can create dynamic hyperlinks at runtime. In the Type the file or Web page
name field of the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, enter the following syntax:
{URL_LINK}
where URL_LINK is the incoming data element name.
>
However the dialog box I am getting when I insert the hyperlink does not have a place to enter the element name. That is, there is no 'TYPE the file or Web page' area that I can see.

hi ashalon,
I did it this way in MS Word.
1. create placeholder for value
2. highlight it and make it a hyperlink
3. enter the url into the address line
So If you have a complete hyperlink in xml element URL_LINK you just have to enter {URL_LINK} into the address line. If you have only a part of the link, i.e only a product name, you can enter "http://www.oracle.com?product={PRODUCT_NAME}".
Hope this helps.

Calling the CSV Export link in a Report Template

I'm trying to have our "download" link appear on the bottom left rather then the default which is to the far right in Look 4.
When I look at the source code, I can see how look 3 and 4 differ - different HTML table set-up and "align=right" for the link.
Unfortunately, looking at the source gives me the direct source for that specific report file not the command to include the csv export file, so I can't include it in a new report template design.
Is there code I can use to include a CSV link in my report template?
If not, how can I place the report download/csv export into my Nav bar region, or some other region?

Michelle,
Typically you'll find the substitution strings documented in the popup help when clicking on the item label. But this one doesn't seem to be listed there. It's documented in the online help though. Click in the help icon in the upper right corner of your page and search for CSV.

Substitution for DB link in Interactive report

Hi,
Is it possible to use substitution strings for DB link in Interactive report in same way like it works in Classic reports (by choosing Generic column) or in any other way.
Currently when i'm trying to put SQL like :
select empno, empname from emp@&DB_LINK.
I receiving the error •Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found)
APEX 4.1, Oracle 11.2

It is possible. We have an application that uses the same code set (pages) where the user can select which target instance will be used at run time.
The trick is that the DB link substitution variable must contain the "@" character. So your query looks like:
select ...
from my_table&TARGET.
where...
&TARGET. must be something like "@my_database" .
At compile time, &TARGET. will be null, and the table name can be resolved, if there really is a table, my_table in your parsing schema, or a vaild synonym.
You can have a synonym available at "compile" time, when you save the page source. For example, the synonym my_table equates to my_table@your_database, which has to exist.
There several other things that must be done, but this should get you started.

Image as a column link in a report

Hi folks,
I want my thumbnail to be the link in my report. I have set my "Link text" as #THUMBNAIL#. In the help for the "link text" it says "Enter the HTML text to be shown as a link. Use an image tag to display images, or pick from the list of default images.
" . I cant get the syntax right for this however... Can anyone help??
thanks,
Rod

Hi Rod,
The best thing to do would be to select one of the image icons (eg, [Icon 1]) and then edit the HTML string that is put into the "Link text" field.
If you pick Icon 1, you get:
<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit_big.gif" border="0" alt="Icon 1">
Now change this to something like:
<img src="#APP_IMAGES##THUMBNAIL#" border="0" alt="Icon 1">
or
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES##THUMBNAIL#" border="0" alt="Icon 1">
depending on if you selected an application for the image or if it is to be available throughout the workspace.

Adding a New Contact Record link in a report

Dear Gurus,
I've followed instructions on how to create a New record link in a report using instructions from the Oracle CRM On Demand Reporting book but needed additional help in terms of how to auto populate the Account Name onto the New Contact Edit screen. I've created a custom Contact report that is setup as a web applet to replace the OOB Contact section that is showing on the Account Detail screen.
On this report, I've created a hyperlink that opens a New record edit screen for a Contact record. I need to pass in the Account Name since this is a required field on the Contact Detail screen and needed help with the URL that I've entered as a custom text format in the column formula. From the M. Lairson's Reporting book, I've entered:
@[html]*a href="/OnDemand/user/ContactDetail?OMTGT=ContactDetailForm &ContactDetailForm.Id="@target="_
top">"Contact Details"*/a*
(html not displayed correctly - I've to substitute < and > with *)
This worked great but I need to pass in the Account Name. Can you help with a URL that will do what I needed? Thanks.

Hi,
Copy the URL from the contact create link and pass the values like Account Name etc by adding it to the URL, use & to separate the values.
hope it helps,
