Adding update and delete buttons to a Report from SQL Query

There is an option when creating a QBE to add update and delete
links which i find quite useful, but this option doesn't seem to
be possible on a Report from SQL Query. Do i need to do
something special to add them? is the option located in a
different place?

Hi,
You can only add Update ,Delete in QBE Reports,
there is no option in Portal which can be used to
have these buttons in the Reports from Query Wizard or
Report from SQL Query.
Thanks

Query based Report (Reports 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.
Can i increase a timeout of portal page, how i can do this?
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?

Can you post the URL that is giving you the page not found error ? I am not sure if I can be of much help though.
In order to increase your chances to get a reply you should also post your question in the Portal Forum - Oracle Application Server Portal

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?

Getting zero-sized reply error when running report from SQL query

Hi,
I have a Report from SQL Query in Portal. When I select Excel in Output Format and then run the report, it works properly, but when I select HTML in Output Format, the report works if the rows returned are not so many (I've been able to display the report for up to 701 rows), but when I try selecting a value from the LOV that selects many rows, I get the following error:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: <data suppressed>
The following error was encountered:
Zero Sized Reply
Squid did not receive any data for this request.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Why does the number of rows returned affect the report this way?
Thanks,
Lorena

Problem comes when any of the filter is applied in any one of the cases selected from the GUI.Do you mean that the problems only shows when you run the report in your browser via 9iAS?
Which version are you using?
Can you post the before report trigger?

Width of field in Report From SQL Query

I have created a report from SQL query with 15 columns being selected. However, no matter what column width and column type (pixel, char, percent) I enter in the column formatting tab of the report, I cannot get the report to format the column to the width I desire. It is always a fixed width. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Char (used for ASCII format)
Displays the output in the specified number of
characters per line. For example, if you enter 20
in Width, the report displays 20 characters of the
column data in each line. If the number of
characters per line exceeds the specified
number, the remaining characters are wrapped
to the next line.
Pixel
Displays the output in the specified number of
pixels per row. For example, if you enter 10 in
Width, the column data displays 10 pixels of
data per line of the displayed table.
Percent
Displays the output in the specified percentage
of the table. For example, if you enter 25 in
Width, the column data displays in 25% of the
displayed table.
Thanks,

Report from sql query invalid date condition

Hi, I created a Reports From SQL Query. My sql is like
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where mydate > :p_date1 and mydate < :p_date2"
I am using portal with turkish and english option. If I pass p_date paramaters 'dd-MON-yyyy' format
(for example p_date1 = 23-MAR-2003 p_date2 = 26-APR-2003) in english mode portlet is return correct result,
in turkish mode 'No Row Returned'. I changed my sql statement with
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where to_date(mydate,'dd/mm/yyy') > to_date(:p_date1,'dd/mm/yyy') and to_date(mydate) < to_date(:p_date2,'dd/mm/yyyy')"
and I pass p_date parameters 'dd/mm/yyyy' format (for example p_date1 = 23/03/2003 p_date2 = 26/04/2003)
but now turkish and english mode No row returned.
How may I write correct sql statament. My database NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY and NLS_LANGUAGE=TURKISH.
thanks.

Hi,
Try this for turkish mode:
Case 1: the 'mydate' column has a kind of a char data type (like char, varchar or varchar2)
and a value like '30/03/2003'
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') > :p_date1
and
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') < :p_date2"
Case 2: the mydate column has a date type:
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
mydate > :p_date1
and
mydate < :p_date2"
In both cases use the following parameter values:
p_date1 = 23/03/2003
p_date2 = 26/04/2003
This should work
Thanks

Can I declare variables in Reports from SQL Query

Hi
I have a Report from SQL Query published as a portlet on a page among other reports. In the query report I am using the fuction WWCTX_API.GET_USER at quite a few places to filter the data returned to the user. Can I assingn the user id to a variable at some level & replace the fuction WWCTX_API.GET_USER with the variable in all the places.
For eg:
usr varchar2(25);
usr:= PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER;
select USER_ID, USER_LVL, BUSINESS_ID, BRANCH_ID from crs_user where user_id=usr;
can i declare variable and assign the value like the above at any level(Report or Page Level) to the acces the variale in queries.
Thanks in advance

I have found that you can't use a * in a dynamic page.
Try this:
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
usr varchar2(25):=PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER;
BEGIN
for c in
(SELECT <column_name> <alias> FROM PORTALWORK.CRS_USER WHERE USER_ID=usr)
Loop
htp.p(c.<alias>);
END;
</ORACLE>
You can also add table tags for column formating:
<table>
<tr><td>column 1</td></tr><tr><td nowrap>
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
usr varchar2(25):=PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER;
BEGIN
for c in
(SELECT <column_name> <alias> FROM PORTALWORK.CRS_USER WHERE USER_ID=usr)
Loop
htp.p(c.<alias>);
END;
</ORACLE>
</td></tr></table>

Can Portal Report from SQL Query use where column IN (:bind_variable)

I would like to create a portal report from sql query with IN (:bind_variable) in the where clause. The idea is that the user would enter comma-separated or comma-quote-separated values for the bind_variable. I have tried this several ways but nothing seems to work. Can this be done?

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using. This is a bug. It has been fixed in 30984.

Report from SQL Query -Excel format only show the first page

Hi,
I have some Reports from SQL Query. In the display options, I choose Excel as default format. The Excel documents only show the first page. If I choose HTML as default format, it shows every rows.
Please advise on how to have a complete Excel document as HTML format does.
Thanks a lot.
Lina Han

I beleive when you export Oracle reports to Excel it is the Data that is transferred along with Column Names.
You cannot export the variables defined on the report.
Hence you will not be able to export the Footer to excel. (Still looking into it will let you know if i find anything interesting)

Using Update and Delete Links in QBE Reports with a Template

QBE Reports in Portal allow Update and Delete links against Report output rows.
When run, if I press the Update link it displays a simple form and utilises the Template I specified for the Report (as expected).
If I press the Delete link it displays a page with a default Oracle template (including Navigator, Home and Help buttons I wish to suppress)
How can I get the Delete to use the specified Template?
Any simple fix appreciated.

Need different processes for Update and Delete buttons

I'm using a customized version of the Issue Tracker sample application. I've added a table called project_person(project_id,person_id) so that a project can have multiple people assigned to it and so that one person can have multiple projects. I have a form report that lists all of the projects with an edit link which opens one project. On the individual project page, there are page items for each of the columns in the project table and a item for the person assigned to the project--this item is pulled from the separate project_person table. I have two buttons--Delete and Apply Changes. If you click on Apply Changes, the project table should be updated and then the project_person table if the assignment was changed. If you click on Delete, it should delete the project_person record first and then delete the project record. I created a new conditional pl/sql process that updated two tables if 'Apply Changes' button is cliicked. I then created a separate conditional process when the Delete button is clicked. This conditional process checks to see if a record in the project_person table exists, and if so, delete the record. Then delete the project record.
The update process works fine. The delete process reloads the list of projects with a success message at the top without actually doing a delete and I have no idea why. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am not using the automatic row processing, but should I? Or is it ok to have the two separate conditions for the two different buttons?

Hello again Miah,
Check the "Sequence Number" for your processes. Typically, APEX will increment by 10, each time you create a Page Process as I recall. You can set this to be any number you want; even if you duplicate the sequence number (ie: you can have multiple Sequence 10 processes).
Make sure that your Delete process is firing properly and walk through the logic in the source code to be sure that any "IF" or "WHERE" logic is satisfied. For example:
Begin
delete from emp_table
where 1=2;
End;If this was your page process code - you would receive a SUCCESS message because the PL/SQL code executed successfully, even though nothing will be deleted since 1 will NEVER equal 2.
So, check Delete Source carefully.
{size:14}{color:green}Can you post the code from your delete page process here?{color}{size}
Good luck,
Don.

Customizing the HTML for a Report from SQL Query

Hello
I have created a Report from a SQL query that outputs a list of items from a single table column. There are 65 rows returned by the report. I would like to display all the results on one page but the length of the list prevents this. Is there any way of presenting the results as multiple columns on the same page?
ie
Res1 Res2 Res3
Res4 Res5 Res6
or
Res1 Res3 Res5
Res2 Res4 Res6
I thought about using a 3 column portlet region and attempting to customise the report displayed via each of the portlets but I would prefer to avoid this as it would require the development and maintenance of an additional template.
Thanks
Lisa

Problem solved...
I have used my SQL query as a cursor in a dynamic page and then used the cursor and htp.p statements to tabulate my results as per my requirements.

ORA-01006 during report from SQL Query

We are running WebDB 2.2 against a 7.3.4.4 database. I have a report created from a SQL query which references 4 bind variables. During execution I receive the following, Failed to bind - :periodyr| |' with
ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist.
Anyone have any idea what causes this error, could it be because I reference a bind variable (:periodyr) more than once in the query? Is there a work around?
I have included the where clause as reference:
WHERE gcc.code_combination_id = gb.code_combination_id
AND gb.code_combination_id = gjl.code_combination_id
AND gjl.je_header_id = gjh.je_header_id
AND gb.budget_version_id =
(select budget_version_id
from gl.gl_budget_versions
where budget_name = :periodyr| |' OPERATING')
AND gjh.actual_flag = 'B'
AND gb.actual_flag = 'B'
AND gb.period_name = gjl.period_name
AND gb.period_year = nvl(:periodyr,gb.period_year)
and gcc.segment2 = nvl(:cstctr,gcc.segment2)
and ffvobj.attribute10 = nvl(:ctrlgrp,ffvobj.attribute10)
and gcc.segment3 = nvl(:objcode,gcc.segment3)
Thanks
Mark

I think there is a bug in the procedure which picks up the bind variables from a SQL.
Workground: put a space between variable :periodyr and operator | | as:
where budget_name = :periodyr | |' OPERATING')
Hope this will work

Web Clipping portlet causing report from SQL Query to fail

I have a master page that contains:
1. web clipping portlets (from external sites)
2. customizable reports built from Portal Providers also added to the page as portlets
Problem:
When the web clipping portlets were added to the page, the reports now fail when submitted. When the submit/run report button is clicked a "404 Page not Found" error is returned....
Any ideas????? Thanks in advance for anything offered!

Below is the response to my inquiry on Metalink as to this issue and it's status:
Hi,
Yes there is an internal bug which discusses this issue:
Bug 3980908 EFINE LINKS ON DEVINPLACE PORTLETS ARE WRONG IF THERE IS A WEBCLIPPING
