APEX For reports and charts

Hi Y'all,
I have an application running on plsql webtool kit, now only for reports and charts I want to use APEX. I would like to put a reports menu in the application which will take the user to the reports / charts created by APEX. Is that possible?
Also, the application user will be authenticated at the loggin on time, so when he/she hits APEX I want to pass the same authentication to APEX as well. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
-Vatsa

Hello Vatsa,
Why don't you just recreate everything in APEX?
We had a customer that wanted exactly that, but if you do the calculation about supporting a plsql webtoolkit app, it doesn't make sense. APEX is soo much faster to develop in.
Regards,
Dimitri

SmartView connection for reporting and analysis

Anyone else using version 11.1.2? We have installed SmartView and there is not an option to change service provider so that we can connect to reporting and analysis. We have successfully connected to the HFM office provider, however when entering the listxml URL for reporting and analysis like we entered the HFMofficeprovider it cannot connect. Oracle has advised us there is supposed to be the ability to add a service and we are missing that. They have advised that we run the EPM configuraton again, however we dont think that will help since we have run this a few times already. We are waiting feedback but just reaching out if anyone else has or had this issue
Edited by: jshoe on Jun 17, 2010 1:35 PM

With 11.1.2, Smart View uses Workspace to keep track of the Shared Connection providers (including R&A). It should show up as "RAFramework - 11.1.2 - Reporting and Analysis Framework".
R&A registers with workspace when it is configured. In order for workspace to pick up this regsitration, you have to re-run the configuration for the Foundation tasks of "Configure Logical Address for Web Applications", "Configure Oracle Configuration Manager" and "Configure Web Server".
I would then re-boot the server for the changes to take affect.

Does EBS license include tools for reporting and extracting data (queries)

Hello,
I'm recommending Oracle EBS to a customer and I need to mention what tools for reporting and extracting data (queries) are included in a Oracle EBS license.
I hope you can help me with that information, or at least with providing me the place where I can get the info.
Thanks in advance,
A/P Sergio Maestri

Hi,
Thanks, I think the same ... but the customer asked me about it ... I supose my answer will be that he can use Reports Builder for reporting and Toad or PLSQL Developer to access to the database and make queries ...
What about XML Publisher ? ...it can be used to make reports against an Oracle EBS database and integrate them into the EBS Application ?I believe you need a developer license to use Oracle Developer (Forms/Reports) for customizing/creating reports.

Having troubles passing values of Shuttle control to SQL Query of Report and Chart Region

Hello,
I am very new to APEX and need help for one of the Pa.I have a shuttle control on my page which populates Categories. Once user selects Categories from this control, I wish to pass the values to following SQL query :
select * from emp_class where category IN ( LIST of VALUES FROM RIGHT SIDE SHUTTLE).
I tried various ways of doing this including writing a java scripts which reads shuttle value, converts it into below string
'Category1',Category2',Category3'. Then I set this value to a text box. And then I was expecting that below trcik would work
select * from emp_class where category IN (:TXT_VALUES)
I am sure this is not right way and hence its not working. Can you please guide me here with options?
Many Thanks,
Tush

I am very new to APEX and need help for one of the Pa.
Don't understand what this means. What is "Pa"?
select * from emp_class where category IN (:TXT_VALUES)
I am sure this is not right way and hence its not working. Can you please guide me here with options?
This is a common fallacy. In
select * from table where columnvalue in (7788, 7839, 7876)
(7788, 7839, 7876) is an expression list and the predicate is evaluated as a membership condition.
In
select * from table where columnvalue in :P1_X
:P1_X is a scalar string, incapable of containing multiple values.
In an APEX standard report, a PL/SQL function body returning an SQL query report source with lexical substitution can be used to produce a "varying IN-list":
return 'select * from table where columnvalue in (' || :P1_X || ')';
where P1_X contains fewer than 1000 values, has been sanitized for SQL injection, and string values are properly quoted.
Some people suggest the following approach, which will also work in APEX interactive reports:
select * from table where instr(':' || :P1_X || ':', ':' || columnvalue || ':') > 0
However this is non-performant as it eliminates the possibility of the optimizer using indexes or partition pruning in the execution plan.
See varying elements in IN list on Ask Tom, and emulating string-to-table functionality using sql for efficient solutions.

Create a Cockpit (Transaction) for Reports and Tables

Hi Gurus,
i am very new in ABAP. I want to create a Transaction/view in SAP BW where i can put my favourite Abap reports and tables and execute These directly from the created view/Transaction without se16/se11 or se38 Access and dont know if this is possible and how to do it.
the reason herefore is that we get deprived in differently time ranges our authorizations for the Standard Transactions.
I have a list of my tables and programms.
Thanks for your help.

we get deprived in differently time ranges our authorizations for the Standard Transactions.
So you try to bypass security checks put in place by the Basis team
or could you explain your requirement ?
Remember (or learn) that creating such transaction, you are able to bypass following authorization checks using SU24 (Identity Management, User and Role Administration of Application Server ABAP, AS ABAP Authorization Concept, From the Programmed Authorization Check to a Role, Editing Authorization Default Data (Development System) / Editing Authorization Default Data (Customer System). )

Use check box for report and form

Hi Expert,
I try to use check box to select multiple rows in a report and then click on a button to go to a form on another page to choose some values from the form and then do a mass update for records selected in reports.
I read the "How to Work with Check Boxes" in 2 Day Developer guide, it works fine to select mutiple rows in report and do update with process in that report page.
However, if I click on a button to go to another page which contains a form, seems the values stored in the package array are cleared and not passed to that page.
Do you know how I could make this work?
Thanks a lot,
Jessie

Source IP for Reporting and Alerts in ESA

Hi,
We have a vESA with 2 listerners in the same subnet, so there is only a default ip route. All the alerts and Schedule reports are being sending using IP A (first listener), but the customer wants those e-mails to be sent using IP B (second listener). I have tried with content filters and altsrchost but it seems, this alerts are not treated as nomal e-mail. Is it posible to manipulate the IP address to sent the reports and alerts?
Thank you

Hello,
This can be achieved under the following :
C370.lab> alertconfig
Not sending alerts (no configured addresses)
Alerts will be sent using this configured From Address: [email protected]
Cisco IronPort AutoSupport: Disabled
Choose the operation you want to perform:
- NEW - Add a new email address to send alerts.
- SETUP - Configure alert settings.
- FROM - Configure the From Address of alert emails.
[]> setup
Initial number of seconds to wait before sending a duplicate alert.
Enter a value of 0 to disable duplicate alert summaries.
[300]>
Maximum number of seconds to wait before sending a duplicate alert:
[3600]>
Would you like to enable Cisco IronPort AutoSupport, which automatically emails system alerts and weekly status reports directly to Cisco IronPort Customer Support? (Enabling AutoSupport is recommended.) [N]>
Maximum number of alerts to save:
[50]>
Choose the default interface to be used to deliver alerts

APEX for XE and PL/PDF

Hi All,
I have started to test PL/PDF, and have it creating a BLOB etc in a table.
My issues is with XE (as it is meant to be supported), is how to display the pdf (currently stored as a blob in the database).
The blob table doesn't have any "ID" as all the other examples use, i.e All the examples seem to reference files that have been uploaded via APEX initially. As the PL/PDF pdf file is directly into the database. How can I get it rendered onto the clients display, without using modplsql (as it's not used in APEX XE Edition).
TIA
Jon

<p>Hi Jon,
Hopefully the following article covers everything you need to accomplish
<ul><li>http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/ExportBlob9i.php</li></ul>
Regards, Kris</p>
Forgot to add, if you are on windows, substitute /tmp/ for a valid windows path eg "C:/temp/"
also see the note at the bottom:
"Bug #2546782, raised against 9.2.0 on Windows 2000, reports wrong output from UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW
Oracle 10g includes extra open modes (rb, wr, ab) to signify byte mode operation. The "wb" open mode can be used along with the PUT_RAW procedure to prevent extra newline characters being added on a Windows platform."

Data filtering for table and chart

Hi,
I'm new to crystal reports XI.
I have one sql query which I am using as the data source for a chart and a table (cross tab). The query return balance for monthly data. In the chart I need to display all the data returned by the query. In the table I need to display data for 12 months. I am wondering what is the best way to filter the table data only include the 12 months of data without the use of a second query.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Please use selection expert. Using You can set your criteria of filter at report level itself.
If by standard option you cannot filter for 12 months data, you can go for formuael over there.
else, use subreport(which is like subquering only)....

Xml publisher of R12 with apex for reporting

Hi gurus,
can i use the inbult xml publisher engin of R12 to configure Apex reports.
Please Help

Vishal

NO, the license for that version of BI Publisher does NOT allow you to use it with external tools.... You would be better off getting a new licensed version for your APEX install...

Colon separated values - reports and charts

Data from a checkbox item is stored in a column separated by colons.
When users try to use the report builder function to chart it is not grouping as we expected.
For example the column contains the following rows:
A:B:C
A:B
C
C
We want the sum of distinct values. For example
A = 2
B = 2
C = 3
Instead we get:
A:B:C = 1
A:B =1
C =2
How can we acheive this?
Nan

Hi,
Checkbox selections (and multiselect list selections as well) are, as you say, stored as colon-delimited strings. This is fine for storing the data but, as you have seen, it is not particularly good for displaying the user's selections. You would need to "explode" the strings into actual values. How you do this will depend on the output you need.
For example, taking the "A:B:C" string as an example, if you only need to know the sum that each represent, you could do that in your SQL statement:
SELECT ..
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:A:%' THEN 2 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:B:%' THEN 2 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:C:%' THEN 3 ELSE 0 END ABC_SUM
FROM ...(where XXXX is the column that contains the string)
But, if you need to see A, B and C within the report itself, you may be better off splitting the string into three columns:
SELECT ..
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:A:%' THEN 'A' ELSE NULL END ITEM_A,
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:B:%' THEN 'B' ELSE NULL END ITEM_B,
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:C:%' THEN 'C' ELSE NULL END ITEM_C,
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:A:%' THEN 2 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:B:%' THEN 2 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN ':' || XXXX || ':' LIKE '%:C:%' THEN 3 ELSE 0 END ABC_SUM
FROM ...If, however, the values relate to records in other tables (for example, the user has selected EMPNO values - which is stored in the string - but you want to show actual employee names), then you would probably have to join your original SQL to the second table to display the values and/or allow the user to filter by a value. But that would make it more complicated and may mean that you end up with more than one row per main record.

Port 6800 is Shutting down for Reporting and Analysis Framework

I have successfully (based on no errors in the log) installed and configured ReportingAnalysis and FR in Wintel 2008 and 11.1.2 environment but when services are started port 6800 and starts but shuts down after few minutes and get Namespace Process Error while logging into Workspace.
