Ability to run Reports on Media Download items... (Enhancement Request)

I would like to suggest that ABC consider enhancing the Reports section to allow users to run reports on the Media Download items. I have a client that is interested in tracking their download activity of whitepapers and brochures off their website, and while you can go to each of the individual items and see the activity in a graph, this is limiting in a number of ways.
Activity is not able to be pulled into their own reporting system and they have to manually re-enter the numbers based on day, month, etc... to get the information. We should be able to export the information and have it pulled down via CSV like other statistics on the site.
It's cumbersome and time consuming to have to go to each individual item and look at the "Activity" one at a time. If this were added to the Reports section, users could go in and review the Media Downloads (in total) to see how many times information is being pulled off their site, but then use the sort/selection options to quickly jump to each of the individual Media Download items. As with #1, it would also be advisable to have this data exportable into a CSV file so that it can be used in Excel, then sorted that way.
It would also be good to add the Media Downloads as an option to the Custom Reports area, so that a client could save certain search options to pull specific sets Media Download items to see what's being downloaded from their site.
Hopefully this can get some traction in the ABC community, or if someone out there is aware of how to do this otherways, please let me know. I did chat with SBC support via Chat and they indicated that what I wanted to do was not possible at this time.
Thanks,
Eric

Eric- While you are waiting for this feature to be added to reporting-- have you tried using Google Analytics Event Tracking to track the downloads? You'll get an accurate representation of downloads if you hook that up.
For more information on Event Tracking see: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide
You might, for instance, make sure all your Media Download links have a class of "media-download" and using javascript can track a "Download" event when those links are clicked.

Uploaded file (via front-end) created as a Media Download item (Literature Item)?

Is it possible to have an uploaded file (via a form or webapp edit form on the site front-end) to be stored/created as a Media Download item (Literature Item)? Or alternatively, is it possible to secure a file that has been uploaded on the front-end (by 'secure' I mean cannot be access outside of a secure zone)?
My aim is to have customers upload files into their secure zone and maintain that security on the uploaded file so other cannot access them. I can't see that this will be possible but hopefully someone might have some creative ideas to get around it.

Hi Adam,
This can be implemented via web apps, please go through the web app tutorials here to know more about them - User manual
You can set up a secure web app to take the submissions from the users and include file upload in that submission. Those submissions are visible to only the user who submits it, unless, you enable the option where every one can see/edit it.
Note: Via the web apps, the files that are uploaded, they go into a folder with a random name which is directly accessible on the internet, even though, on the site, through the web app items, only the logged in users can see it. By this I mean that anyone who has the direct link to the file will be able to access it and it can also be indexed by search engines. So, when it comes to using the work around of web apps to implement this function on your site, make sure to take measure to block Google bots from indexing the files.
Check this article to know more on how the GoogleBot works - Googlebot - Webmaster Tools Help

Feature Request - Ability to organize content holder, media downloads, etc

Are there any plans to add a feature to BC to allow admins/users to organize things like content holders, media downloads, news, etc? We would really like the ability to be able to tag these items (or something) and then search for these items in admin by using search and/or by checking tags to filter down the options. Some of our sites have accumulated a lot of these items over time and it gets a little difficult to find them as the list grows. Thanks!

Disappearing downloaded items

I recently suffered a major drive crash. I sent Apple a message regarding recovering some of my downloaded items (specifically a season of a TV Show). It downloaded, but now I can't find it at all. It is not in its folder, and iTunes doesn't know where it is (the exclamation point comes up next to all the episodes). Now, I can't re-re-download it from iTunes because Apple restricts reporting problems/recovering downloaded items to one time.

Did you do a search of your HD using Spotlight?

Download items from Safari's Activity window DEAD OS X.7 Lion

Downloading items from Safari's (5.1) Activity window DEAD- Mac OS X.7 Lion
Aargghhh this was brilliant before for grabbing stuff and not working now,
all i get is a massive amount of text showing up and no download anymore.
Yup you can download an earlier version (5.0.6) but Lion will not swallow it
tried pacifist to open the old package but even that fails.
thought i could find it inside and run it.
so....
what now?
is there a way round this?
a third party plug in!
something?
anyone got any idea how to sort this out?
so i can grab filmclips pictures etc...
just like before.

I thought I was the only person who was grieving the loss of this feature. I used it mostly for downloading PDFs as preview handles them so much better than shoddy propriety viewers, or even the "preview in safari" mode. During my degree it was invaluable to me as it also let me save these files into folders and keep them for referencing later.
To further exlpain; it was one of the features which set Safari out from the rest. The activity window shows all the different elements of the website which are either being loaded or which have been downloaded. It will show elements of javascript, images, music, PDFs etc embedded in the page including videos and the like.
Within that activity window, you can also see (and copy!) the DIRECT LINK address of each element of the page. ie: Where the actual media files are being hosted, downloaded or streamed from. Certain sites disable this feature for protected works, as they are entitled to do so, but the vast majority allow it.
When we had a separate downloads window, instead of this overlay box in the Lion safari, it enabled the end user to copy the DIRECT LINK in the activity window using Ctrl + C and do the following:
1) Either paste it into the address bar to watch/ listen to the media free from the other elements of the page which waste memory/ get in the way
2) Paste it into the "Downloads" window (Using Ctrl + V) which would instantly start downloading the file, as if you had clicked a "Download file ABC Now" link on a web page.
With the loss of the download window, only option 1 is available. This means that only images and certain formats of video/ audio will be viewable off the website in question ie: ones that quicktime can play. And the current version of quicktime embedded within safari doesn't give you the option to "Download a copy" or "Save as" like older versions used to.
This may necessitate a revisiting of Firefox, which has a "Media browser" function.
I wonder if there is perhaps a bookmarklet out there which forces a download of whatever is dragged onto it. Any ideas?

FRM-92101 error while running report from a button or menu

Hi All,
I am getting the error FRM-92101 while running report without parameter from a button or menu. I am using Developer Suit 10g. I get the error as it shows there has some configuration problem in my form. Will you please help me anyone how can i solve the problem. My previous forms running very well both with parameter and without parameter.
Arif

Hello Sir,
Thanks for your cooperation. I have solved my problem by myself. The fact was that, when i tried with the following code which made my report---
SELECT br.bid, br.bname, br.branchtxnstatus, dif.difference
FROM branch br,
(SELECT gladbrid branchid,
SUM
(CASE
WHEN ga.gl_acc_categry IN ('L', 'I')
THEN gd.gladbalance
ELSE -1 * gd.gladbalance
END
) AS difference
FROM glaccount ga, glaccountdetail gd
WHERE ga.glid = gd.gladglid
GROUP BY gladbrid) dif
WHERE dif.branchid = br.bid AND br.branchtxnstatus = :Br_Status
and dif.difference!=0
ORDER BY br.bid;
and the code against the button or menu item is---
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ASSET');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
/*Display report in the browser*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.0.21:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
Clear_message;
END;
Clear_message;
which has shown the error FRM-92101 and didn't run the report.
In that case I have changed the query to run the report. first of all i create a view following the query and build the report using a simple select query. that's etc. my report running fine now.
It is mentioned that there had no error on my codes.

Running reports in Portal- URL vs RDF

I've got a content area in portal 3.0.8 which contains two items-- a URL link to my report, and an Application Component which is the same report registered in portal as an RDF. The report runs fine with the URL link, but hangs when I try to run the RDF component.
My URL link is defined as follows: http://greap004:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=reportserver+report=reportname.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=htmlcss+userid=username/password@DBname+paramform=yes
However, the registered RDF does not prompt for a DB login or bring up the parameter form. It just hangs for about 5 minutes and then returns the following error:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time. Oracle Reports CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.
I want to be able to register reports as RDF's rather than using URL links.

hello,
you should take a look at our whitepapers in the Internet Deployment and Security section of our product area http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports
there you find a walkthrough of the configuration for running registered reports in portal.

Problem running report with BI Publisher and Web Service

Hello,
I actually try to run a Bi Publisher report via the Web Service.
I use the following documents:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/bip_webservice_101331.htm
- "How to integrate Oracle BI Publisher via Web Services in Oracke Forms"
Everything works fine. But when I try to copy it on local computer the file is 0 length. I use the "getReportBytes" method.
Here is the code I tried with:
String userName = “Administrator”;
String passWord = “Administrator”;
System.out.println(”calling ” + myPort.getEndpoint());
System.out.println(myPort.validateLogin(userName,passWord));
ReportRequest repReq = new ReportRequest();
ReportResponse repRes = new ReportResponse();
repReq.setAttributeFormat(”pdf”);
repReq.setAttributeLocale(”en-US”);
repReq.setAttributeTemplate(”World Sales”);
repReq.setReportAbsolutePath(”/Sales Manager/World Sales/World Sales.xdo”);
repRes = myPort.runReport(repReq,userName,passWord);
System.out.println(repRes.getReportContentType());
byte[] binaryBytes = repRes.getReportBytes();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(”D:
out.pdf”);
out.write(binaryBytes);
out.close();
System.out.println(”Success for Run Report”);
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume that you use 10.1.3.4. If not, my hint is not relevant for you ....
There's a new parameter in the web service API to set the Chunk-Size. Unfortunaltely is the default value not so, that the behaviour is like in older releases (no chunk-size ... the whole document at once). If you set the chunk size to -1, you should get your document. So try to add
repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);

I cannot find a link to authorize my PC (running Windows 7) to download my ITunes purchases.

I cannot seem to find the link to authorize my computer, which is running Windows 7, to download my previous ITunes purchases. The process is supposed to be opening teh Store link and clicking on "Authorize My Computer", but I can't find a link that says Authorize My Computer. Can anybody help me with this?

Hello Mikevande,
It osnds like you are unable to find the Store menu bar item to authorize your computer. By default the menu bar is hidden in iTunes. This article outlines how to make it show so you can sign in and authorize the computer:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
To turn on iTunes menus in Windows 8 or 7, do one of the following:
Press the Alt key.
This will turn the menus on and off temporarily. This will change back to the default, the iTunes menus being turned off, when you next close iTunes.
Or
To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Report: passing values to item page

on Apex 3.2
Hi,
I need help.
Does anyone knows a way to pass values from a report to a page item?
This is what i want: when i run a report i want to fill a page item with the value from an item report.
Thanks,

Hi Austin,
Thank you for your reply.
I've writen a query that gives me the accounting movements.
In this query the user can pass the rownum because there are about 1million records in the partitioned table.
But the diference between credit and debit must considered all the movements that are not closed.
I'm using analitics functions to do that, so for each line the value is already calculated.
With one report region: If i group and break the report it takes about 13 seconds to display the information.
If two report regions: One for the movements other for the "Debit: Credit: and Total:". It takes about 6 seconds to display the info.
Its more fast, but i have to run the query twice. The idea is to run only once.
The values that i want to pass from report to page items, Debit: Credit: and Total:.
Is there a way?
Thanks,

Running Reports with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT versus RUN_REPORT_OBJECT

Where I work I work alone on developing and delivering Oracle applications. I've found a way of running reports in 10g over the web using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT, I've embedded my own security in the BEFORE PARAMETER FORM trigger of the reports.
I don't have time to trawl through thousands of pages of documentation and I need to know whether there is a fundamental drawback of using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT over RUN_REPORT_OBJECT? I've got everything working OK in my test environment, but it's not clear reading the Oracle documentation whether there is a major drawback with this method, in particular I'm interested in any performance/load issues. I'm slightly worried because most people seem to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (which has all sorts of issues, such as parameter form incompatibility etc), I've found that WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is much easier to implement as it avoid the parameter form issue, displaying the user credentials in the source html and being able to type in any jobid in a url to receive other peoples reports.
I've read as much as I can including the Forms and Reports integration document and the Usability Matrix and can't find anything obvious. I would be very grateful for any comments.

Good call .... I included some of the code from your linked document to create a forms library from which to run reports. This uses the inate ability of reports to generate HTML parameter forms at runtime. Very handy. Most of our reports that we upgaded recently took little or no effort.
