Apex 4.0.1 Interactive Reports lost after application import

Hello, After importing the application, in order to upgrade it (using the same app id across environments), users' saved Reports were lost. I've read former posts regarding this issue, but they were pretty old (from 2008/2009) and refer to Apex 3.2. Has anyone experienced this problem with 4.0.1? If so, is there a fix or way to work around it? Thank you.

Interactive Reports Lost

It would appear that when a new Apex application is installed the Interactive Reports preferences are reset and any saved reports are lost. Am I doing something wrong or is this a feature of Interactive Reports.
Cheers
Shunt

Resurrecting/Bumping this thread.
I tried David Peake's advice on this but drew a blank.
Here's where I am with this.
Server 1: DEV & UAT environments
Server 2: Production & Demo environments
DEV APP_ID = 127
DEMO APP_ID = 555
I created a copy of 127 and assigned it the 555 ID during the 'copy' process.
I then exported App ID 555 from server 1 and imported it into server 2 following David's instructions.
+"select "Install As Application:" option of 'Reuse Application ID xxx From Export File', not 'Auto Assign New Application ID' or 'Change Application ID'"+
Sadly, you guessed it, the user saved IRR reports are no more.
Has anyone cracked this?
Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong?
Any help appreciated.
Like many people here, I have lots of users with carefully crafted IRR regions. I don't want to be the one to tell them they have to re-create them.
There HAS to be a way to save them.
Thanks

Interactive reports lost when copying application

Hi,
For developing purposes, I often copy an entire application and start working with a new version of the application on the same database. Now, I noticed that after copying an application, all the saved interactive reports were gone. The report itself still works fine, but the tab bar with saved reports is no longer there.
Is this correct?
Regards,
Tijn

Hello,
I believe that's correct yes (it's linked to the user).
You want the saved reports are also copied in your new application?
Regards,
Dimitri

APEX: Show description in Interactive Report column

Hi experts!
I need to show title and description in the headings of an interactive report in APEX. So when the user places the mouse on the heading of the column, a description message is displayed.
In the heading field, I have introduced this string:
<SPAN TITLE = "Secció Numèrica">SC.N.</SPAN>
Where "Secció Numèrica" is the description and SC.N. is the title.
This works fine in the report and the description is shown, but the problem is:
When the user click on the 'select columns to display' action, the displayed label is
<SPAN TITLE = "Secció Numèrica">SC.N.</SPAN>
instead of "SC.N." or "Secció Numèrica".
Obviously the customer does not want to see that string. I have been looking for any solution in manuals and forums but with no results.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Javier

It is solved.
The customer is happy having the description displayed in the Help Text section, so it is shown with the info tag.
Regards
Javier

Apex 3.1. Interactive Report. Questions and Problems.

Hello!
First of all I'd like to say Interactive Report is a really really brilliant feature, it covers exactly that points which we were missing in previous releases of Apex. Only this single feature makes Apex 3.1 release most significant for us since may be HTML DB 1.6. So much much thanks!
So I have some questions about Interactive Report (IR):
1) About "Save Report" feature. It is possible there to save own version of report layout or overwright the default settings. There is also possibility to completelly disable this function. So the question is it possible to disable only the ability to overwright the default report but give the ability to save own reports. It would be reasonable since too smart or too dum users can break the default layout of report and break the work for other users which don't use this function at all. At the same time the possibility to save own reports
is absolutelly perfect
2) Search. I'm from Germany and we have some national non-english symbols. The IR can't perform seach correctly if we use words with such symbols. Example word "Bestätigt" is interpreted by IR as "BestÃ¤tigt". At the same time the words are correctly displayed in reports and in interface. We have correct NLS_LANG, we have imported the lang_de.sql , and our own self-made search on simple reports works ok. What's to do?
3) Charts in IR. Is there some data volume limits for Chart in IR ? sometimes we get the message "Loading XML...100%" during chart rendering and then happens nothing. In log file of Apache there is no any error messages...
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Glad to hear you're putting interactive reports to use, we put in a lot of time trying to get them right (at least for their first release).
1) The "Save As Default Report Settings" option is only available for Developers, so you can only see it if you already see the developer toolbar at the bottom of the page. Standard end-users can't see this, so they can't save over your default report settings.
2) That's right, the character set of the DAD needs to be AL32UTF8.
3) A maximum of 1000 chart points will be returned, but you should not get this error. Can you describe the columns you are charting and the chart settings?
- Marco

Upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 4.0.2, Interactive reports broken

I just recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 4.0.2.
Am using IE 8.
Now whenever I click on a column header in an interactive reports I get a javascript error:
Message: Expected ')'
Line: 1
Char: 40984
Code: 0
URI: http://patchx:8080/i/javascript/apex_4_0.js
Am at my wits end on this one.
I can't see anybody else who has hit this error.
The demo application works okay.
I set up an interactive report with the same properties as the demo app, but i still get the error.
Any clues?

AHA, I just figured out what is making this happen.
I have a custom authorization scheme which calls a PLSQL function.
I had set the authorization scheme to "Once Per Page View".
This was causing the error to happen, although I still don't know why.
Unfortunately it is a problem because I need to authorize on each page.
This is because my plsql function must allow the login page authorization so we can capture the username to check against permissions. So I autmatically return true on the login page. But that means anybody can get in, because that is the once per session authorization as specified.

APEX 3.1.2 Interactive Report bug

When you click on a column header of an Interactive Report, a dropdown menu appears which contains a text field that filters the list that is shown beneath it. When you TYPE some text into the field in Internet Explorer 7 and then select a value from the list beneath it with your mouse, the typed value is somehow remembered and reappears in the text field of other column header menus.
I don't know whether this has been solved in 3.2.

Is it normal for two pages in the same application to use the same static ID for their regions or is that the exceptional case?

APEX Print Attributes for Interactive Reports versus Reports

The Print Attirbutes tab for Interactive Reports does not have the Enable Report Printing option that the same tab does for Reports. The Enable Reports option when set to Yes" puts a print link on the Reports page. Since, the option doesn't appear for under the Print Attributes tab for Interactive Reports, how can I get a print link appear on an Interactive Report page?

Hi,
Those links are visible to end user in action menu -> Download

Try making your column definition as "Remove HTML and escape special characters".
I tried it and it make the column appear as editable as intended and also clicking on the column heading or on the filter in the IR bar behave properly.

Way to copy saved interactive reports to another application?

Is there a way to copy saved interactive reports (public and private) from one application id to another
or does anyone have a SQL script to do this that they would share?

Upgrade option now available after application import into APEX V4.0.x

I notice that there is a new button called "Upgrade Application" in V4.0.x which appears after one completes an application import. (The other two are "Run Application " and Edit Application"). This button takes you to a list of fixes (such as implementing not null validations as dynamic actions) than can be applied to a pre version 4 Apex application. How do you get back to this list of options after you have exited out of the import process? I'd like to revisit these and apply them.
thanks in advance
Paul P

From the application home page, click the Utilities icon, then the Upgrade Application icon.

XLS download of interactive report - error after upgrade to apex 4.1.1

Hello!
When trying to download a certain IR with e.g. 10 columns as XLS, I get the following error in the Excel in Apex 4.1.1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
If I change it to two columns it works.
BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
Apex 4.1.1.00.23
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0
In Apex 4.0.2.00.07 the exact same IR works with any number of columns.
Any ideas?
BR Paul

BR Paul,
I am experiencing the same issue after upgrading to 4.1.1.00.23 and trying to download pdf via bi pub xmlpserver. Seems if i reduce the columns to what fits on an 8.5X11 page then it works without error. Were you able to find a workaround in 4.1.1? Just trying to save some effort if you already found the solution. I wasn't successful in finding many others with this issue, so i appreciate the post but unfortunately don't have an answer to our problem. I'm using the standard csv download option and this works but of course it isn't going through bi pub.
thanks,
Jeff

Userfield-Values in Order Recommendation Report lost after update

Hi together,
i've got a problem in the Order Recommendation Report. i've add 3 udf's in the matrix.
The problem appears when I update the report. All the values in the userfields are cleared.
Can anyone help me to find a solution? Do I have to customize the form with an addon or something?
Best regards,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,
in your screenshot I cannot identify any UDF. You can make them visible in Tools -> Form Settings... if that is the issue.
When you check (and therefore add the purchase or production order) any report lines and click on update, they are not visible in the report anymore (independently of filling values in your UDFs or not).
Otherwise, when you only view the report, enter values in your UDFs, click update without checking any checkbox, the values should remain in the report.
Please use the SQL query generator and enter the query "SELECT * FROM ORCM" ... You should see your UDFs and the entered values for each recommendation line. If not, there is maybe a more severe problem and you should open a call on SAP support.
Regards
Sebastian

Develop settings lost after re-importing folder of DNG files

I've been using LR for several months, and - after getting accustomed to its peculiararities - love the program.
This evening I re-imported a folder of DNG files that I had previously removed from LR - using the "add" import option. When going to the Develop module, I noticed that my original develop settings were no longer applied.
Aren't these settings incorporated into the DNG files? How could they get lost? Are they over-written when re-importing the files?
I always backup my catalog before closing. Does the catalog backup contain the original develop settings for these DNG files?
I know I must have done something wrong! Please advise & explain. Thanks.

Seven_D wrote:
Thanks. I do have autowrite to XMP checked. - I learned that lesson a few months ago!
I will see if I can use an older backup to recover the settings. I have never done that before, but I know where my catalog backups are located. If you can give some advice on that, I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose other DNG edits in the process.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but it appears that if I ever do want to remove a previously imported folder from LR for whatever reason - I should just edit the RAW files without converting to DNG. I know DNGs are more compact, but at least the sidecar files associated with the RAW files will always be there! This is more important to me than conserving disk space!
just try it on one or tow files to test. Also look at "Read Metadata from file" in the current catalog first with ine file to see if that helps. Did you have a Prest applied when importing like Zeroed?...... None is the best for importing files with dev settings already applied.
I use DNG exclusively and haven't experienced your issue so review your import settings as mentioned.

Saved Interactive Reports after APEX Upgrade

Hi,
When you do an APEX Upgrade are saved interactive reports kept?
Martin

I have been experiencing lost saved "as Named Report" Interactive reports, whenever I migrate the application from test to prod.
To clarify how we operate.
We have a test APEX environment that is separate to production. The Test app has a different App_id but uses the same schema name. In test the application Id is 1xxx (eg 1201) and in test 2xxx (2201). I export Test 1201 and then import into Prod changing the App_id to overwrite 2201. I always lose the saved reports. I just tried an experiment of creating the saved report in Test and seeing if it migrates to prod, but of course it does not.
How should I operate the two different Test and Prod environment to be "best practice" and not lose "as Named Report" Interactive report saved by the end-user?
thanks Peter
