AP Invoice Register - how to order all columns in sequence -XML Publisher

Hi
Currenlty when i run the standard AP invoice register the out put columns are sqashed in to multiple rows and the out put is not really readable.
Is there an easy way to arrange the field columns in consecutive order so that the data can is readable?
Can we achieve this using XML Publisher if so how?
Much appreciate your help

Hi Jana
I assume you are using an rdf as the data source and BIP as the formatter? If so, I would recommend you get the sort correct on the data layer. It can be done in the layout template but its going to be more efficient to get the db to sort.
Just check in your template for the for-each field and ensure there is no default sorting going on that would override the db sort.

How to bring all columns in a single/first page in report painter

Hi Experts,
There are 9 columns in a report painter which includes 1 lead column.
7 columns comes in a first page including lead column and rest 2 columns goes to second page. This report is copied from another report where all columns comes in a first page only. if the original report comes in one page then why not the new report.
Please suggest how to bring all columns in a single/first page in the new report.
Please revert if I'm confused anywhere.
Thanks in advance
Arabinda

Hi Rajneesh,
Thanx for the quick reply. When I change the column width to 10 it comes in one page. But the requirement is to keep the column width to at least 12 or 14 and moreever the original report from where this report is copied having the same no of columns and the column width for original report is 14 and it comes in one page only.
Do I need to do something more to achieve this. My question is how the original reports data comes in one page where as the current report having issue with same number of columns.
Pls suggest.
Thanx,
Arabinda

How do we handle User exits in XML Publisher

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how do we handle user exits in XML Publisher ?
Thanks,
Kiran.

Do tyou mean the original Oracle Reports user exits ?
If so then the flexfield ones are handled in the data template, check the user guide. Format currency should be called in the template layer. You do not need srw.init with data templates.

How to select all columns in a trigger?

I add a "before delete" trigger on a table, in order to insert the records to a backup table before they are deleted.
but I cannot write like this : insert into t_backup select * from :old;
The table has more than 30 columns so I don't want to select them one by one, how can I select all columns?

Yes, it is possible by writing something like this :
where col1 = :old.col1; But it is not directly supported. First, we need a package to remember all the OLD records:.... and please see below link for complete code in action :
http://www.dbforums.com/oracle/925729-trigger-back-up-data.html
What I am doing here, just copying the code and replacing "emp" with "test" (The table name on which I am going to apply this using notepad find and replace):
SQL> select * from test_backup;
no rows selected
SQL> select * from test;
         A
         1
         2
         4
         5
SQL> select * from test_backup;
no rows selected
SQL>
create or replace package test_trg_pkg as
type test_type is table of test%ROWTYPE index by binary_integer;
test_tab test_type;
end;
create or replace trigger test_bds before delete on test
begin
test_trg_pkg.test_tab.delete;
end;
create or replace trigger test_adr after delete on test
for each row

where a = :old.a; <----- Here you have to give your column name.
end;
create or replace trigger test_ads after delete on test
begin
for i in 1..test_trg_pkg.test_tab.COUNT loop
    insert into test_backup values test_trg_pkg.test_tab(i);
end loop;

How does order of columns change when I create dimension?

I created dimension from 3 tables, but order columns in each tables changed. And when I use drilldown in Dashboards and go to next level, all columns show in wrong order how in dimension. What should I do to change order columns in dimension?

OK, this is a "stab in the dark" about what you're experiencing, but take a look at this: First, note the order you wish the columns to appear when doing a drilldown. Now, when you drill down, note which columns appear first (leftmost) as compared to the other columns that seem to not appear in the proper order. When the disorder appears, are there data in the left columns and no data in the columns towards the right? Here's what it seems OBI does (at least in my experience).
If all the columns have data, the order in the drilldown will appear as expected. Let's say you have 15 columns. (There's a reason I chose this many columns.) What happens if columns 1 -5 (in your sort order) have no data, but column 6 does? OBI will put that column first at the far left. If then columns 7-9, say, have no data, but column 10 does, then column 10 will appear second. If columns 11- 15 have data, then the final order will be: 6, 10, 11- 15, 1-5, 7-9.
As long as there are some sort of data, the column will appear in the proper order. But if a column has no data, then a column that does takes precedence. Why this behavior?
Suppose that of the 15 columns, only column 15 had data. The number of columns would make the report very wide. Would the user wish to scroll all the way to the right just to see the one column of data? Instead, it will be column 1 with columns 2-14 following. The user would then be able to see the column with data without having to scroll. If they understood this behavior, they would know that if column 15 is appearing first, there is no need to scroll to the right.
Again, this is my experience and it seems to explain it. (I, too, pulled my hair in frustration trying to figure this out). See if this applies to you and let me know.
Note: The "strange" behavior appears at the lowest level drilldown. It seems to maintain the proper level at higher levels. (So in my experience, I drill from region>branch>details and it is in the detail level that I get the column disorder.)

How to compare all columns in a SELECT with all columns in a Cursor ?

Hi All,
I would like to know if something like this is possible in PL/SQL
I have a cursor CUR1 which is a SELECT * FROM T1.
And in my loop for every record found in CUR1 I am trying to retrieve its consecutive record in the table T2. Unfortunately T1 and T2 do not have a primary key so there are duplicates. But if I can compare each column of CUR1 with its respective column in T2, I can find the record. But the question is how ?
So I tried something like this, but of course this is wrong, but hope this would give you an idea of what I trying
VAR_T2 T2%ROWTYPE;
CUR_T1 IS SELECT * FROM T1
LOOP CUR_TI
SELECT * INTO VAR_T2
FROM T2 WHERE
‘ALL COLUMNS OF T2’ = ALL COLUMNS OF CUR1;
So is there a easy way to accomplish this. Thank you, AJ

As Walter says, this is simply an intersect if you are comparing all the columns.
However, if you really must do it in a slow by slow, PL/SQL loop (no real valid reason why you would though)...
DECLARE
VAR_T2 T2%ROWTYPE;
CUR_T1 IS
    SELECT * FROM T1;
BEGIN
FOR i IN CUR_TI
LOOP
    SELECT * INTO VAR_T2
    FROM T2
    WHERE T2.col1 = i.col1
      AND T2.col2 = i.col2
      AND T2.col3 = i.col3
      AND T2.colN = i.colN;
END LOOP;
END;There is no simple mechanism for just saying "compare all the columns", you will have to specify each one individually in the WHERE clause.

How to check all columns existing in a table?

Hello.
I'm writing a function that returns average value of every numeric column existing in a database.
I have a general idea how to do it, but I need just one more thing, look at the expamle:
select table_name from user_tables where rownum=1
this allows me to select names of all tables, and then I can access them 1 by 1...
But now i have a little problem - how to access all the atributes in selected table in this way?
Oh, and I have a problem with this rownum... For example it works for 1 (shows 1st row - name of first table) but does not for 2, or greater number :(.
And expresions like rownum < 5 work, but rownum > 3 not :/. What may be the reason?
Thank you for help!
Regards.

Reading from any file is always done in a loop through the records. So, just loop only once. That will give you the first record only.
If you have some code already you can modify it to something like:
for i in 1..1 loop
end loop;
