Apex 3.1, Interactive Report Row Text Search, image bitmap as TEXT?

I think this IR thing is powerful which could save me lots of time in development.
One question: does the row text search(default: all columns) treat image column as regular text(string)? I did the following search on:
SAMPLE APPLICATION-->Products, I put 300 in the search column( for $300 list-price search), the search produces 3 lines( should only have 2). the 3rd line's list price is $1999, I looked it in SQL*PLUS and saw its image bitmap (long string) includes a "300" inside, so I believe the "default all columns search" treat image as regular string.
How can I avoid the image bitmap search included in IR? This bitmap strings are very long for each image and can EASILY match searching conditions for something like PRODOUCT DESCRIPTION, PRODUCT PRICE for our products data( about 25000)? thanks

Sean / Russell,
Thanks for reporting this, it's certainly a bug.
By the way, the search is performed in SQL, on whatever column values are being displayed (run the page in debug mode to see the full SQL). So in the case of the sample application, it is not matching the image bitmap, but the image size, which is selected in the SQL. The bug is that the full search should not include columns which have filtering disabled or one of the special image format masks. We'll try to fix this for an upcoming patch.
Thanks,
Marco

Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column Filter Issue

Environment: Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column header Filter Issue
We have developed an interactive report using Oracle APEX 4.0, which contains a record count of around 3,000 Rows. All the rows values are unique in nature. When we try to filter the same with the help of column header filter option available in the interactive report,We get only 1000 records.
Could some one help us, why this behaviour under APEX Table Column Header Filter as if it does not display beyond 1000 distinct values.
Is there a way or workaround on how to get all the records in the column header filter?
Thanks in advance.

Krish,
Interactive report has hard coded limit to display 1000 rows of column filter LOV for performance. Unfortunately, the limit cannot be changed. The workaround is to define a Column Filter LOV for the column instead of using "Default Based on Column Type".

Apex 4.0 interactive reports and images

To the community,
I haven't had a chance to do a decent search before bed, but I was wondering if anyone had links to good examples on OTN, someone's blog, apex.oracle.com etc, but I thought I'd put the question out there overnight.
I have a table that contains my blob/mimetype/filename information, and I'd like to create a sample interactive report that displays the image in the blob in all three formats - standard interactive report, using the icon view, and using the detail view.
Note I'm not referring to images that may be in the repository or file system - but within in a table.
For whatever reasons I was losing the battle this afternoon, I was just wondering if anyone knew of good concise examples, such as this for using images in form & classic report pages.
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Cheers,
Scott

I have finally replicated the solution, with the help of the following thread
Confusion with get_blob_file_src
found when searching "broken image" as one of the keywords.
Such a horrible and non-intuitive solution to get images displayed in an interactive report!
Hopefully the Apex team can work on improving this in future releases...

Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

Hi,
I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero» is not working any more.
So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
It’s a good idea?
Thank you

Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
[url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
user = 'test'
password = 'test'
I have 2 questions :
(1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
(2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance.

What is Maximum No. of columns in APEX 3.2 Interactive Report

Hi All,
Is there any limitation on maximum number of columns in a APEX (3.2) Interactive Report page, I have a report containing more than 200 columns. I am tyring to add another 25 new columns and found this error msg: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I can add 5-6 new columns and it's runing okay but after that the msg. is coming.

A query 225 columns wide? Is that not a bit excessive? I can't imagine that being particularly user-friendly. Perhaps it might be worth considering some sort of master->detail type report with the relevant filters for content - that should give your users something a mite bit more manageable.

Set Form Values From Interactive Report Row

Using Apex 4.2.
I have two tables: T1 and T2
Table T1 contains five columns: CT11, CT12, CT13, CT14, CT15
Table T2 contains 4 columns: CT21, CT22, CT23, CT24
I have a page with two regions. Region 1 is a Form on a Table using table T1. Region 2 is an Interactive Report ( IR ) on table T2.
The SQL for region 2 is: select apex_item.RADIOGROUP(p_idx => 1, p_value => CT21) "Choose", CT22, CT23, CT24 from T2;
When the user clicks a radio button for a row in the Interactive Report, I would like the values in the IR cells CT22, CT23, CT24 to populate the CT13, CT14, CT15 fields in the table form in region 1. If a user clicks another row radio button, the values should update.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
As per my understanding ur requirement is as below.
When the user clicks the 'Link Column' it should redirect to another page with the value of id, Day, Start Time, and End Time.
Hope all the cloumns are from the same table.
As Denes said, it is enought to pass the ID value to the link column as of below.
ie., u can modify ur query as of below.
SELECT Last Name,First Name,Day,Start Time,End Time, ID as "Link Column"
FROM t.
Now u can pass the value as #Link Column# which will pass the ID value to the next page.
Hope my understanding is correct.

IR (interactive report) Rows found: 1 + No data found on deep linking

I am using a deep linking to a page with interactive report on it with following URL: http://...../f?p=my_app_id:target_page::::target_page:param1, param2:param1_value, param2_value
After login, I arrive on the page wit "No data found" message in the report region.
Clicking on "Session" link, I see that app/page variables are set. Passing in debug mode, I see"Printing rows. Row window: 1-15. Rows found: 1" right before "No data found" message.
If I use the select with values, I get several lines of result.
has anyone fell on this problem and solved it?
Igor

OK, solved :o)))
Inside the package function returning URL to call, I insert a row into the table to query and I return its sequence number. The function is launched by an application outside APEX.
So, if I don't make commit immediately before returning URL, APEX sees nothing.
I have added a commit before returning from the function and now everything is OK.

Interactive Report with additional search filters

Hi all,
I want to implement a functionality where I have an interactive report which comes with default Search / Filter option , but I also want to have additional filters which are drop-downs in this case and based on the values selected from the drop-down lists , report displays the values ! How can I implement this functionality where after selecting a value from the drop-down list and then further using interactive report filter to retrieve the results.
Below is my SQL
select * from Atoms_FULL
WHERE (:P6_ANO IS NULL OR ANO = :P6_ANO )
OR (:P6_ATYPENAME IS NULL OR ATYPENAME = :P6_ATYPENAME)
When I implemented this , only the interactive report filters are working but not the customized filters WHICH ARE :P6_ANO AND :P6_ATYPENAME (Drop-down Lists)
I hope I have made the question clear. Let me know if you need any more clarifications.
Would really appreciate if anyone can help in this issue asap.
Thanks,
Rads

What version of apex are you on?
You have to set the session state of page items, this can be achieved by adding your items as comma seperated into the Page Items to Submit attribute, This attribute is available under Interactive Report region source, Dynamic Actions etc.

Interactive Report row filter item aliases

When trying to use row filtering on an interactive report that selects over 100 items, the aliases are alphabetic for the report columns but once they get as high as FZ they stop and are all aliased as \\ and become unusable. Is this a limitation in the IR?? Has anyone gotten around this???
Thanks,
Andrew

Jeff,
Thanks again for the response and for looking into it. However, if I am not mistaken, the url in that excerpt does the same thing as the URL I posted except that you used IREQ_COLNAME instead of IR_COLNAME (which defaults to EQ I believe).
I want to see if a value is in column a OR column b, etc. The "OR" is the all important caveat.
I would settle for being able to pass a value to the IR's main search box (that searches all columns of all rows) if I cannot do a targeted row level filter on a few select columns.
If anyone knows how to do either of those things, that would be great information to have.
Thanks,

Interactive report row-level ("OR") filter via URL?

I know you can perform a column level filter on an Interactive Report via URL, but can you do a row level filter?
I want to do something like where column 1 = 'test' OR column 2 = 'test', not column 1= 'test AND column 2 = 'test'.
Thank you and apologies if I am missing something in the documentation or other forum messages.

Interactive Report with custom search criteria must behave as search bar

Hi,
I have a region where I have 3 textfields and a Submit button. Then, another report region where I have a query with the where condition that makes reference to the 3 texfields. This is:
Select * from ANYTABLE
where column1 = :P1_TEXTFIELD1
and column2 = :P1_TEXTFIELD2
and column3 = :P1_TEXTFIELD3
When I click the submit button, the report is reloaded (in fact, all the page) with all the conditions (in textfields) correctly.
Now, what I need is that when I click the submit button, the filter appears in the screen; I mean, show the funnel with the filter conditions as if I made it since the search bar.
Could someone help me with this?

When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:

With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Remove the WHERE clause from the report query and use declarative filters in a branch on page submission to set the filter predicates.

Apex logs and interactive reports

Hi everyone! This is my first post, so apologies if I sound like an idiot :). Anyway, my problem is as follows.
I'm on APEX version 4.0 (about to move to 4.1) and I'm trying to tie the APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG to the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view. So, here's my query:
SELECT
L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID,
R.INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID,
R.REPORT_NAME
FROM
APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG L,
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT R
WHERE
L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID IS NOT NULL
AND L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID = R.INTERACTIVE_REPORT_IDI don't get any returned values. The IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID column from APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG is, according to its description:
SELECT
comments
FROM
apex_dictionary
WHERE
apex_view_name like '%ACTIVITY%LOG%'
AND column_name = 'IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID';=> "Identifies the Saved Interactive Report ID foreign key to the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view"
and the INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID column from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT:
SELECT
comments
FROM
apex_dictionary
WHERE
apex_view_name = 'APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT'
AND column_name = 'INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID';=> "ID of the interactive report"
it seemed like the only ID column from that view that made any sense to join to. The return values from IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID looked like this:
9.67721361230999E15
9.90492074306116E15
[snip a few dozen rows]
and INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID looked very similar (6.62360604127979E15, 5.94051162387204E15, etc.). Am I missing something here?
At the end of the day, all I'm trying to do here is make a metadata report on reports. Specifically, I wanted a report that told me which saved reports people were accessing, and how often they were doing it. I thought this was the way to go about it, but it seems I'm mistaken. I would appreciate any help you guys could provide.

Hi 910246, welcome to the forum.

See if this query against the APEX views helps any:

SELECT username d, username r
    FROM (SELECT DISTINCT apex_user username
            FROM apex_workspace_activity_log
           WHERE TRUNC (view_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE))

Display interactive report rows based on user role.

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out with this issue. i have an interactive report and now i want to make this report as conditional based on user role. Like i want to dispaly all the report rows for an Admin user role and for a developer I want the report to display only his/her rows. Can anyone please help me how can I resolve this issue.
Do I need to have two separate reports for each role or can we make achieve this with only one report.
thanks,
Orton

Here is a possible answer.. Build your Interactive report off of a collection. And when you build the collection you can build an if statement to either build your select with or without the filtering of user_id..
See this blog entry for how to build a interactive report from a collection: http://www.oracleapplicationexpress.com/tutorials/71-oracle-apex-interactive-report-based-on-plsql-function

Displaying an interactive report row using two lines

Is there a way to take a report row from an interactive report that has too many columns for one display row and display using 2 rows? This would minimize the amount of scrolling the user would then need to do.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I dont think we can show a single row as two lines in an interactive report but if you use a classic report instead of interactive then you can do that by creating your own custom report template from scratch and selecting templete type as Named Column (row template) and show the row in what ever way you need...any way if you find any solution for interactive report just post your solution here which will help me too
