Apex_util.get_print_document with bind

All,
I'm trying to create a process to bulk print a report to the file system using the API apex_util.get_print_document. Is there a way to pass bind variables to the report query when using this API? If not, has anyone come up w/another solution on mass printing reports that have parms?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
APEX_UTIL API consists of 4 different GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT Functions based on parameters types(Function Overloading) that are being passed. If you look at the function where CLOB is the data type for parameter p_report_data, the bind variables can be passed to the SQL which willl be used by DBMS_XMLGEN or other XML/CLOB generation API's.
I have used DBMS_XMLGEN to generate the CLOB data which intern used by GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT function.

Call print apex_util.get_print_document() with page item values

Hi all
I ran into an issue that very frustrated as it sounds so simple.
I'm in Apex 3.1.
My database has table TAB_CLASSES, TAB_STUDENT
My application has page 1 with P1_SID is student_ID
I had an simple report query name Class_query, show all classes that a student attends
select * from TAB_CLASSES where SID = :P1_SID;
I also select option "include application and session information"
I had report template Class_template
In my application, I have a process tried to generate report list classes for all students.
l_report blob;
for x in (select * from TAB_STUDENT)
loop
:P1_SID := x.SID;
l_report := apex_util.get_print_document (
p_application_id => :APP_ID,
p_report_query_name => 'Class_query',
p_report_layout_name => 'Class_template',
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => 'pdf'
insert all the l_report into database with SID as a part of l_report name (*)
end loop;
After this, I got multiple of l_report blob in database, number of report is exactly number of student in the TAB_STUDENT table. The problem is that every report looks the same, and it got the information of only first student
I guessed it did not pass the item value (P1_SID) every time it call the get_print_document, but it still shows in the report name (*)
Please help me. Thanks for any idea.

Thanks for the post of Marc, about how variables are binding and calling by process, I changed my app design to have a sp to print and store the pdf file. Then in my app, I just called the sp and passed the P1_SID. It worked.
Thanks.

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT Error Unable to get the document

Hi,
   I am working on Oracle APEX 4.1 to send the report as an attachment through mail I am unable to get the document while calling the APEX_UTIL.get_print_document. I have created a report query and report template (rtf template) so as to send the report as an email attachment. The report works fine individually upon clicking of button so there is no issue in BI publisher configuration. I am sure there is something very trivial which I am missing out here. Any help will be appreciated.

Try removing the parameter p_print_server from the call. This will use your default print server which should already be configured to use the BI Publisher engine.

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT always returning empty BLOB

Dear community,
I have a huge problem when using the function APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT in a job or database procedure.
The following code runs perfectly when I integrate it in the APEX application directly e.g. using a button to execute it (of course I use an anonymous PL/SQL block in APEX itself). But when I run the same code as a procedure or job in the APEX database itself I always receive a mail with an empty PDF:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APEX_DRUG_SAFETY.CALL_MAIL
is
l_id number;
l_document BLOB;
BEGIN
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id;
l_document := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT
+(+
p_application_id=>'105',
p_report_query_name=>'TestReport',
p_report_layout_type=>'pdf',
p_document_format=>'pdf'
+);+
l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND
+(+
p_to        => '[email protected]',
p_from      => '[email protected]',
p_subj      => 'sending PDF via print API',
p_body      => 'Please review the attachment.',
p_body_html => 'Please review the attachment.'
+);+
APEX_MAIL.ADD_ATTACHMENT
+(+
p_mail_id    => l_id,
p_attachment => l_document,
p_filename   => 'mydocument.pdf',
p_mime_type => 'application/pdf'
+);+
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'DESMTP.TEST.COM',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => '25');
end;
The problem is that the function APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT always returns an empty BLOB when executed outside of the APEX application. I found this issue in several other posts in this forum but I did not find a solution.
The mail transmission itself works perfectly. Also with an attachment if e.g. I use another BLOB already stored in the database for testing purposes. So it is not the mail transmission that causes the problem but the empty variable l_document that is still empty.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Apex_util.get_print_document results in "503-service unavailable"

I'm using APEX 4.2.0.3.00.08 with GlassFish 3.1.2.2 on an Oracle 10.2.0.5 database.
Recently I created a report-query together with a xsl-fo report-layout created in Altova Stylevision. I've enabled and configured print-options and when I press my application button, I'm perfectly capable of viewing and/or saving the pdf-version of my report.
Additionally I want to save my report as BLOB in the database, but when I try this using apex_util.get_print_document, all I get in my table is a html-page containing the message "503-service unavailable".
I used the following page as reference:
Creating High Fidelity PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express but apparently I'm missing something or doing something wrong......I truly hope there's someone out here to help me!!
Thanks in advance!

Hello Mike,
I've been trying to create an application on apex.oracle.com to reproduce the problem, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've uploaded a very simple layout created in StylusStudio, a simple query on the EMP-table only containgin FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME and EMAIL and when I add the layout to the query and press "Test report", it works fine.
When I run the report from my application, it only shows a pdf with a thick, horizontal lines, like it's showing only empty cell borders.
Meanwhile I found out that the APEX-listener keeps reporting similair errors, even when I use that same simple stylesheet (created with StylusStudio) on the EMP-table, even when the stylesheet does not contain any special characters at all. In stead of the message starting with INFO: Character decoding failed. Parameter [#x200B;</xsl:text> , it then ignores the complete xslt-stylesheet (the complete contents of the stylesheet is between the brackets, in stead of just the string containg the special chars).
To be honest I'm a little lost now. First my focus was on how to get rid of the special characters, but now it looks like, even when I might succeed in that, it doesn't even solve my problem.
Any idea why my application doesn't show me the same report I see when testing the report-query?
The application can be found here:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/htmldb/f?p=29586
The bottom region is an attempt to show the pdf with the highest id, but I think it does not show the actual pdf (http-404)
The source for that PL/SQL region is:
declare
src_ varchar2(256);
mime_ varchar(48);
id_   number;
begin
select max(id)
into id_
from report_archive;
    select mimetype
      into mime_
      from report_archive
     where id = id_;
    src_ := 'src="#OWNER#.download_doc?i_doc_id=' || id_ || '" ';
    htp.p('<div style="">');
    if instr(mime_,'pdf') > 0 then
      htp.p('<embed height="800" width="1200" name="statement" ');
    elsif instr(mime_,'excel') > 0 then
      htp.p('<embed height="800" width="1200" name="statement" ');
    else
      htp.p('<embed height="800" name="statement" ');
    end if;
    htp.p(src_);
    htp.p('type="' || mime_ || '" />');
    htp.p('</div>');
exception
   when no_data_found then
      null;
end;
I really hope we can solve this!!!!
Best regards,

Apex_util.get_print_document returns empty blob

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a xsl-fo template into PDF. I have the following code:
begin
declare
v_retval blob;
v_data blob;
v_xls clob;
v_xml_dat clob;
begin
select page_template
into v_xls
from flows_030100.wwv_flow_report_layouts
where flow_id =101
and report_layout_name = 'vv';
v_xml_dat := to_clob('<data><row><dat1>fff</dat1></row></data>');
v_data := wwv_flow_utilities.clob_to_blob(v_xml_dat);
v_retval := apex_util.get_print_document (v_data,v_xls,'xsl-fo','pdf')
htp.p(dbms_lob.getlength(v_retval));
end;
end;
This returns 0 instead of some PDF document. I guess there is something wrong with my input, probably the XML data. Any thoughts?

Anyone?

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT not returning anything

I have a report query and have provided a layout to print it
I need to get the html generated from the report so that I can mail it.
As I could not get the generated file in the PL/SQL package written , for quick testing I started testing using a SQL stmt to check for the length of the LOB
select dbms_lob.getlength(APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
p_application_id=>my_app_id,
p_report_query_name=>'name of qry',
p_report_layout_name=>'name of layout',
p_report_layout_type=>'rtf',
p_document_format=>'htm')) lob_size
from dual
I also tried by providing the p_print_server => null in addition to the parameters passed.
But the query returns NULL only.
The qry and layout are correct as the query when tested in the edit qry screen in APEX shows the output report in the format required (including html , PDF etc)
Any pointers ?
Thx

Apex_util.get_print_document not generating correct output

hello,
Basically what I've done is this.
1) stored a very simple xml file in a clob field called xml_file_clob in a table called xml_test1
2) stored an rtf file in a clob field called rtf_layout in a table called xml_test1
3) created a procedure (below) called generate_report_as_blob which attempts to combine the xml and layout and generate a PDF from it which is stored into a blob field in the same table where 1) and 2) are above .....
4) I have confirmed that taking the clobs in 1) and 2) from the table above and creating xml and rtf files on my desktop that I can open the rtf file in Word, load the xml file and preview it and it does render the pdf as intended (so I think my clobs in the table are good)
5) run the procedure below. It compiles and runs with no errors but generates a file into the blob column that when downloaded to my desktop looks like the below output (when opening w/ pdf it says there was an error opening the file)
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm really close and am excited about what I could do with this if this can work.
Thanks in advance, KW

I have the same problem exactly...works as an APEX proc, will not work from sqlplus despite setting security group id. Mail works. Attachments with another BLOB works. But I can't get this function to give me the BLOB.

Apex_util.get_print_document

All,
below is a procedure (test_send_attachment1) that I cannot get to work and I've run out of ideas.
The value of xml_file_clob is detailed below and the rtf file spec is also provided. With these things, someone could, I believe, reproduce the problem.
I don't receive any errors and I do receive an email with a pdf attached. The problem is the pdf is 'malformed'
I should add that if I save the query that was used to generate this xml and upload to APEX the rtf file that I provided here and I test the report, it runs fine. Also, when I use the add-in to create the rtf with the below xml file and view the pdf, it processes just fine as well. So I think the "pieces" are correct.
I am using Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word 10.1.3.4.1 (Build 130)
Thanks for having a look. I posted this here (even though it's related to BI Publisher) because I feel like the problem is with APEX_UTIL.get_print_document .... If the administrators feel this is better posted in another forum, let me know.
Regards.

Create collection from query with bind variable

Apex 4.0.2
Per Joel Re: Collection with bind variable the apex_collection.create_collection_from_query_b supports queries containing bind variable references (:P1_X) but I am not sure how to use this feature, the documentation doesn't have an example, just the API signature for the overloaded version has changed.
If the query contains 2 bind variable references to session state (:P1_X and :P1_Y), can someone please show an example of what to pass in for the p_names and p_values parameters to the API?
Thanks
procedure create_collection_from_query_b(
    -- Create a named collection from the supplied query using bulk operations. The query will
    -- be parsed as the application owner. If a collection exists with the same name for the current
    -- user in the same session for the current Flow ID, an application error will be raised.
    -- This procedure uses bulk dynamic SQL to perform the fetch and insert operations into the named
    -- collection. Two limitations are imposed by this procedure:
    --   1) The MD5 checksum for the member data will not be computed
    --   2) No column value in query p_query can exceed 2,000 bytes
    -- Arguments:
    --     p_collection_name   = Name of collection. Maximum length can be
    --                            255 bytes. Note that collection_names are case-insensitive,
    --                            as the collection name will be converted to upper case
    --     p_query             = Query to be executed which will populate the members of the
    --                            collection. If p_query is numeric, it is assumed to be
    --                            a DBMS_SQL cursor.
    -- example(s):
    --     l_query := 'select make, model, caliber from firearms';
    --     apex_collection.create_collection_from_query_b( p_collection_name => 'Firearm', p_query => l_query );

apex_collection.create_collection_from_query_b(
    p_collection_name => 'foobar'
, p_query => 'select f.foo_id, b.bar_id, b.baz from foo f, bar b where f.foo_id = b.foo_id and f.x = to_number(:p1_x) and b.y = :p1_y'
, p_names => apex_util.string_to_table('p1_x:p1_y')
, p_values => apex_util.string_to_table(v('p1_x') || ':' || v('p1_y')))

Report Performance with Bind Variable

Getting some very odd behaviour with a report in APEX v 3.2.1.00.10
I have a complex query that takes 5 seconds to return via TOAD, but takes from 5 to 10 minutes in an APEX report.
I've narrowed it down to one particular bind. If I hard code the date in it returns in 6 seconds, but if I let the date be passed in from a parameter it takes 5+ minutes again.
Relevant part of the query (an inline view) is:
,(select rglr_lect lect
,sum(tpm) mtr_tpm
,sum(enrols) mtr_enrols
from ops_dash_meetings_report
where meet_ev_date between to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') - 363 and to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY')
group by rglr_lect) RPV
I've tried replacing the "to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') - 363" with another item which is populated with the date required (and verified by checking session state). If I replace the :P35_END_DATE with an actual date the performance is fine again.
The weird thing is that a trace file shows me exactly the same Explain Plan as the TOAD Explain where it runs in 5 seconds.
Another odd thing is that another page in my application has the same inline view and doesn't hit the performance problem.
The trace file did show some control characters (circumflex M) after each line of this report's query where these weren't anywhere else on the trace queries. I wondered if there was some sort of corruption in the source?
No problems due to pagination as the result set is only 31 records and all being displayed.
Really stumped here. Any advice or pointers would be most welcome.
Jon.

Don't worry about the Time column, the cost and cardinality are more important to see whther the CBO is making different decisions for whatever reason.
Remember that the explain plan shows the expected execution plan and a trace shows the actual execution plan. So what you want to do is compare the query with bind variables from an APEX page trace to a trace from TOAD (or sqlplus or whatever). You can do this outside APEX like this...
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 1';Enter and run your SQL statement...;
ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace=FALSE;This will create a a trace file in the directory returned by...
SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'user_dump_dest' Which you can use tkprof to format.
I am assuming that your not going over DB links or anything else slightly unusual?
Cheers
Ben

Problem with Bind Variable in 11.2

Hi
I have a slow statement with bind Variables. With literals it works fine. Is there a way to replace the bind by literal in advanced ? I use Release 11.2.0.2.3
Thank you

I use Release 11.2.0.2.3This specific scenario is very much an exception to the rule - and you need to back your statement up with execution plans of the SQL with bind variables and with literals, and run stats that show the difference between these two execution plans.
See the {message:id=9360003} from the {forum:id=75} forum's FAQ for details on how to post a SQL performance tuning question.

Query with bind variable, how can use it in managed bean ?

Hi
I create query with bind variable (BindControlTextValue), this query return description of value that i set in BindControlTextValue variable, how can i use this query in managed bean? I need to set this value in String parameter in managed bean.
Thanks

Put the query in a VO and execute it the usual way.
If you need to, you can write a parameterized method in VOImpl that executes the VO query with the parameter and then call that method from the UI (as a methodAction binding) either through the managed bean or via a direct button click on the page.
