APEX 3.0 Print report region

When I want to print a report region, and choose A4 as "Paper Size", Adobe cannot open the PDF document. Adobe says that the document is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
When I choose Letter as "Paper Size" the PDF document is generated as expected without any errors.
Does A4 not work?
Greetings,
Guido

I have configured printing to work in my version of Apex. I am running APEX 3.0 on a 10gR2 platform. The steps I did were as follows:
- Install a working JDK and add the JAVA_HOME\bin directory to you path
- Follow the instructions on this page (under Apache-FOP heading): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Only two downloads are necessary - the JSP and the FOP from apache. Use the lower link, and download a -bin file on windows.
- Follow instructions on where to place files, and the edit application.xml configuration.
- Set up OC4J - cd Oracle_home\oc4j. Read the readme.
- In essence this means
1) cd Oracle_home\oc4j\j2ee\home and run "java -jar oc4j.jar -install"
2) OC4J now needs to be started - "java -jar oc4j.jar"
3) Point your browser at http://localhost:8888, and the page should show. If not, you can check the command window for OC4J to see any errors - I am not an expert, it just worked for me.
- Now set up APEX through admin (again using instructions in the link) to specify the print attributes
- Make sure OC4J is running and try to print a report
- Hey presto, Bob's your uncle!
Obviously, OC4J needs to run on the server to generate the prints.
Hope this helps,
Graham

Hi Marc!
I uninstalled BI EE. Then I installed Bi EE again. I selected the Basic setup and BI Publisher only. BI Publisher has been successfully installed on my computer.
The number of port is 9704. (My previous mistake was the port number - 80!!!).
Then I start oc4j.
I tried Application Builder home page built-in report. It's work fine!
But i received some problems with print report in my own application.
If i selected "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" in source settings of my region i received an empty PDF file (0 bytes).
When i selected "English (United-States) en-us in Globalization settings and also
selected "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" in source settings of my region i received the fine report.
I am using the "Default report Layout".
But I want to receive the report based on "Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query". And also I want to have "Russian (ru) Globalization settings in my application.
Do your have any advice ?

Show APEX Row Number in Report Region

I would like to display the row number in the report region at the beginning of each row for each page (based on the number of rows to display per page).
So if the number of rows per page is 15, I would want to show each row from 1 to 15. When going to the next page (16 - 31) I would like to show row 1 to 15 again next to each row.
And if the number of rows per page is 20, I want to see row numbers 1 to 20 on each page.
Since I believe an Update button only processes the current page, I would like to then use this row numbers (1 - 15) to get the values of the displayed column for each row to perform an insert to another table.

You can use something like this:
SELECT apex_item.text (1, '#ROWNUM#') row_num, empno, ename,
deptno, comm, sal, mgr
FROM empExample is here:

APEX BUG in export report region to CSV

Upgraded to APEX 4.1 but I have the same problem !!!!
any help ????
regards
saverio
==============================================
Hy all,
I have a Classic report based on a PLSQL function returning SQL query. (APEX 4.0)
The query is like this (it is just an example; at the bottom of the post I attach my real query)
select * from (select c1,c2,c3
from table1
where c1 in (select c from table2 where ct2 = :P0_ITEM1)
where instr(upper(c2),upper(nvl(:P5_REPORT_SEARCH,"c2"))) > 0
where P0_ITEM1 is an item in page 0 and P5_REPORT_SEARCH is an item in my page (where I have the report) used to "filter" the rows.
The report is OK; it is correctly displayed and the number of rows are correct (filtered by the where clause)
but when i try to export it to CSV i get a wong number of rows.
It seems that the where conditions (both) are NOT applied and in the CSV file I get all the rows of my table1.
The report have 2 break colum (c1 and C2).
Any idea of what is wrong ?

thanks for your answer,
but my problem is that I get (only in the CSV file) a superior number of lines to how much I expected me, NOTsuperior.
Aniway i set the maximum row count in report attributes to 50000, but the problem is not solved.

How to display the items in a Report Region

Is it possiable to have the fields in a report region based on an sql query be display in somthing other than a row? For example if I have a Report Region with four columns it will look something like:
<Field 1, row 1 value> <Field 2, row 1 value> <Field 3, row 1 value> <Field 4, row 1 value>
<Field 1, row 2 value> <Field 2, row 2 value> <Field 3, row 2 value> <Field 4, row 2 value>
<Field 1, row 3 value> <Field 2, row 3 value> <Field 3, row 3 value> <Field 4, row 3 value>
etc
Is it possiable to tell ApEx to display the Report Region like:
<Field 1, row 1 value> <Field 2, row 1 value>
<Field 3, row 1 value> <Field 4, row 1 value>
<Field 1, row 2 value> <Field 2, row 2 value>
<Field 3, row 2 value> <Field 4, row 2 value>
<Field 1, row 3 value> <Field 2, row 3 value>
<Field 3, row 3 value> <Field 4, row 3 value>
etc
Maybe there is a nother way to do this that uses somthing other than an sql based report region. Thanks very much for the help.

This can be done using a SQL query report region with a [custom report template|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/themes.htm#sthref1744].
Unfortunately the documentation is not particularly helpful on this topic, and as use cases tend to be very specific, reusable solutions are rarely shared in the community ("custom" reports after all...) See [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1569996] for a good discussion of the technique, with a link to an example on apex.oracle.com.
A response to [another recent thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1012690] showed another example on page 1 of the [Online Store demo app|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#STORE], which you can download, install and examine. This uses a custom report template in conjunction with the report HTML Expression feature.
(I'm not totally clear on the display you're after: it might help to repost it using some example data rather than the abstract <Field 2, row 1 value> approach. Wrap the sample in \...\ tags to get fixed width characters that can be made to align, if that will help.)

Create a loading spinner for report regions

Hi all,
I have a page in apex that has many report regions on it and it can take some time to load. What I would like to achieve is the following:
The page loads immediately each region should have no data but in the header of the region there should be a spinner which basically lets the user know that data is still to be loaded.
Once there is data then the spinner should be made invisible and the appropriate region should display its data.
I am using apex 3.1 on oracle10g.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I found some good advice at the following:
Re: AJAX Report Regions
I can get the following to work:
gReturn = get.get(null,'<htmldb:BOX_BODY>','</htmldb:BOX_BODY>');
but not
get.GetAsync(f_AsyncReturn);
The second method appears to query for the data but returns a blank region. Any ideas ?????

Print out of Report Region dropping negative values

I am very new to APEX (< 2 months) and don't have much of a programming background. I have created a report layout using BI publisher and made it available as a shared component in my APEX applicaiton. When I print the the report region, most of the data displays fine on the print out, but any amounts with negative values are suppressed. I can view the negative amounts just fine when they are displayed on the report region itself.
It took me quite a while to get the style sheets from BI Publisher to work with APEX. I thought the two were supposed to be compatible. Does anyone know how to resolve the issue above or if their are any known compatability issues between BI Publisher and APEX? We are on APEX version 4.2.1.00.08 and BI Publisher version 11.1.1.

This was indeed a bug. Response from Oracle:
This issue has been noted by development as a bug and I have file bug 16224878 regarding your issue. The issue explained by development pertains numeric format string which wraps the negative value in angle brackets: < val > , and the report is treating this as a HTML tag and filters it out. It looks like this is happening only for classic report regions, i.e. report queries seems to support this type of numeric format mask.
A work around would be to turn off printing for the classic report region and to provide a button to a report query for printing, using the same SQL for the report query as is used for the report region. Alternatively you could also use a different format mask.

How to print standard report region to a PC printer via Win printer driver?

I know it's not very sexy, but sometimes an app user needs to print a standard report region to a printer that is connected to their PC. So that they can print their Apex report in the same manner as they do everything else from their PC, using a predefined Windows printer driver is necessary. What is a simple way to add a "Print" button to a standard report that will open the Windows print facility?
P.S. Apex 4.1
P.P.S. Hopefully, the solution is simple. i.e. No installation of additional print drivers, etc. The user may not be technologically sophisticated. They simply want a hard copy of information that they pulled up with their Apex app (they don't even know what Apex or a printer driver is).
Thanks,
Kim

Add a Print button or link to the page with an <tt>onclick</tt> attribute that calls the method<tt>print()</tt> method:
onclick="window.print();"You can also use a print media style sheet to suppress unwanted page elements (tabs etc) from the printed output and optimize the report formatting for print.

"Between NVL" - Works in SQL Command, not in APEX report region

First, I realize I could use dynamic SQL (model 4), but I don't want to (too hard just yet).
I have a select statement with a series of Where conditions that employ values, in bind variables, supplied by the user.
I want the choice of parameters to be optional, so I am checking for and replacing nulls.
Select emp_name from employee_table where
emp_rating between nvl(:p7_rating_choice, 0) and nvl(:p7_rating_choice, 99)
and
emp_language_no between nvl(:p7_lang_choice, 0) and nvl(:p7_lang_choice, 99);
(the binds should be numeric).
The actual statement is quite a bit longer, but the point is that the BETWEEN NVL(:x, min) AND NVL(:x, max) piece does not seem to work when used in a report region.
It works fine if ALL parameters are provided, but returns an error if one or more are null.
In the SQL command window it works (with a pop-up) just fine.
By the way, the :p7_lang_choice bind variable is chosen from a LOV list which works in all other cases.
Also, if I disable nulls (choosing "no" in ITEM page), everything works fine. It seems that the substitution of the min and max values via the NVL returns the wrong data type.
Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Thanks Scott.
Every day brings a little more understanding!
I also noticed a simplified method in the APEX documentation (although there was no explanation of the code) as follows:
Where
(column = :p1_user_input_1 OR :p1_user_input_1 = [null substitution value])
AND
(column = :p1_user_input_2 OR :p1_user_input_2 = [null substitution value])
AND
etc...
Using the value you provide in the LOV section for the null, the second part of the OR handles the null situation.
For some reason I was so tied up with comparing to the column that I never thought to have an OR with a compare to something else.
Oh well.
Thanks,
Norm

Apex 4.2 Report region sql query with "apex_item.text" renders wrongly

In APEX 4.2 page i have created region "Report data".
Type="SQl Query".
"User Interface"-->"Template"="Reports Region".
"Region Source"="select apex_item.text(1, '111') as c1 from dual".
Actually the select query is little bit more complex, but generally simplified it is such, that it uses function "select apex_item.text" to construct HTML textfield.
If i run in Sql Developer query
select apex_item.text(1, '111') as c1 from dual;Then result is:
<input type="text" name="f01" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="111" />But in APEX 4.2 the report is rendered so:
<td headers="c1">&lt ;input type=&quot ;text&quot ; name="f01" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="111" /&gt ;</td>(for this forum to display correctly i had to put extra spaces between" &gt" and ";" and so on)
And APEX 4.2 shows ugly html inside report cell/slot for me, displaying characters/symbols ">". The reason is that APEX HTML page source does not have symbol ">" but has " &gt ;" .
In APEX 3 i have similar query working well, without such anomaly.
What attribute should i change in APEX 4.2 region to display my query result as needed?
I need that function "apex_item.text", i cannot remove it.

Error when print report from apex using apex listener 2

Hi
Apex 4.2
I want print report to pdf from apex using apex listener 2.
The print server 'Oracle APEX listener' has been defined at the instance-level.
ACL has been configured.
I attempt to download a report in PDF mode, it appears that it downloads,
but when I go to open it up I get an error that the file is of the wrong type or possibly corrupt.
Upon opening the file in Text editor, there is an error as below
%PDF-1.4
1 瀛楄妭鐨?UTF-8 搴忓垪鐨勫瓧鑺?1 鏃犳晥銆?

If you use Windows the user that runs the reports server is usually LocalSystem. Check this in the Windows Services panel.
LocalSystem has no printer access. To be able to print, you have to use a real domain user that has access to the printer. So, change the Log on properties in the Services panel.

Apex 4.1 Print IR Report to PDF

I wanted to see if I have it correct on Apex and getting data out in either printed form or to Excel.
Unlike previous dev tools like Discoverer which would make printing things out to PDF and paper almost an exact duplicate of what was done on the screen report,
Apex chose another route and making it harder to get things out.
Now if you have $150,000 laying around you can purchase BI-Publisher and get "Nicer" output that of which I have only seen in a demo.
What about those of us that don't have 150K to spend?
I have my FOP server up and running but this give the most basic output available.
So Far I see no way to get Break Groups, total amounts or anything even remotely approaching charts out using FOP.
Do I have this correct. I just want to make sure.
I wanted to use one tool to do my development from the Data Warehouse, and was led to believe that Apex was it.
What are the "Real" solutions in getting better formatted output to a printed page. Is there anything that can take the rendering on the page and print it out, or down load it for Excel and/or other output.
I am going to have to now go back to my supervisor and say I am going to have to code in discoverer as well as Apex to get viable printed output on our project thereby increasing my time and footprint and tools the user must use.
I am not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about this.
I know that I am going to have to open an SR to get a response on this from anyone even remotely connected to oracle, but I wanted to get some other thoughts out there, and see if I am missing something easy in the way of getting output and leveraging my work in apex to the printed page in anything that resembles what you see on the screen in apex.
Any help or advise is appreciated.

Sorry mate, Apex doesn't score well when it comes to generating reports out of the box - however it does integrate with other options.
BI Publisher - I thought the figure was more like $50k, but I guess it depends on your currency.

Apex 4.1 different font text in Reports Region and Interactive reporting

Hi everybody,
In my APEX 4.1 page, I have two regions using the same ''Reports region" Template but font text are different. Why The first region is an interactive reporting. The second it's a report. I know that each one has his own data for sure but the same region template .Spaces between colons are different. Is it normal ? I want to have the same font text for the two regions.
Thanks in advance. Bye.

Legacy themes are flagged with a "*" in the theme gallery. Standards mode themes are not. (I don't have access to APEX 4.1 at present to be able to identify specific themes.)
Properties of interactive report components, is it possible to take a look on this properties or it's a "black box" ?
You can either look in the global APEX style sheet, or (probably more usefully) use a browser web inspector to examine the CSS properties of the IR components in the page.

Printing PDF from Report Region - Header Details

Hi,
I've searched around for a while but was unable to find an answer to my query.
I have a simple report region, which i added a "Print" link to the bottom of - this brings up a formatted PDF version of the report which can be printed out, i'm just using the default PDF layout.
When it comes to adding a header and footer the PDF still functions ok, but when i try to add any page items it all stops working.
I basically need the time and date to appear at the top of the report, i created a hidden field just using the PL/SQL command "SYSDATE" which does return the correct value. But when i try to add this to the header or footer in the format "This document was printed on &P1_DATE", the PDF doesn't work, and when i try to download it, IE says the filesize is 0b.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, either something i've done wrong or if there is a better method,
Thanks in advance

The PDF does download when I put a fullstop after the name of the item. Unfortunatly now the PDF displays as if the item "P1_DATE" is empty, i.e. it says "This document was printed on ",
I've made P1_DATE visible and it definitly displays a date, yet the exported PDF displays nothing where P1_DATE is referenced,
Just to confirm:
The Item is called P1_DATE
The references i've tried are &P1_DATE. and &P1_DATE
the date is populated by the code SYSDATE
Thanks again,
Iain.
