Application Reports in APEX 4.0

Hi,
I've upgraded to APEX 4.0 and really enjoying the new features. The one feature that I used to use in 3.2 is the "Application Reports" under the Tasks.
It is referred to in the help but for the life of me I cannot find it, has anyone else encountered this?
Here is the extract from the help file:
Accessing the Bulk Edit Item Help Report
To view the Bulk Edit Item Help report:
1.On the Workspace home page, click the Application Builder icon.
2.Select an application.
*3.On the Tasks list, click Application Reports.*
This is the part that's not there
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Connor

We shifted all the reports and bulk updates underneath the area they best fit. For bulk edit of help, from the page definition page, click the edit all icon and then the utilities tab - you will see all the bulk edits and special reports available for items. Same for other object types. You can also get at these from the Utilities page (new icon in the upper right), within the right side-bar you will find a list of all the page-specific utilities.
Same for Shared Components, grid edit of lovs is now a tab under lovs.

Call BI Publisher Report in APEX, based on R.T.F Template Layout.

Hi to all respected members of this forum.
Since 18th May (Saturday), I am trying to connect BI Publisher Reports with Oracle Application Express 4.2.2.
My APEX Version = APEX 4.2.2
Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition (Trial) = 11.1.1.6.0
Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 32 Bit = 11.117.0.79
For this purpose what I did?
Firstly I downloaded Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition 11.7 and when I started Installation I came to know that "R.C.U (Repository Creation Utility)" is required during installation and I don't have that so, left this idea.
Than I downloaded Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition (Trial) from www.oracle.com and BI Publisher Desktop Edition for Templates because there is no facility in BI Publisher Trial Edition to design Report Templates. I have installed both successfully and created a report as per my requirement.
Now, I want to call that report in Oracle APEX but I am unable to do that.
I followed http://dgielis.blogspot.de/2007/12/call-bi-publisher-report-from-apex.html but the link which is shown in picture no: 03, is not available, so this didn't help me.
Then, I followed Oracle BI Publisher Blog https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/apex_users_why_not_integrate_w which discuss to call BI Publisher Report in APEX based on "Generic Report Layout". This done successfully but still I am unable to call BI Publisher Report .
Then I found this type of script
http://localhost/xmlpserver/Guest/Reporting_Channel.xdo&id=FGFC&password=****&xt=Reporting_Channel&xf=pdf
to call BI Publisher Report in APEX but this also failed.
Please help me to understand that how to call "BI Publisher Report in APEX, based on R.T.F Template Layout.
Thanks in Advance.

Are you trying to have multiple sql queries and have multiple sections displaying different data sets ? Or with one single query but display it in different ways in a single report ?
You can create one single query as Report Query in APEX and associate it with a BIP report layout. So you can achieve a Dashboard layout with the report query/layout.

Create PDF report with APEX and Oracle 11g doesn't work

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the downloading of PDF reports from APEX with Oracle 11g.
When I try to download a PDF, Acrobat Reader says it can not open the file.
I have done the same test in an environment with APEX and Oracle 10g and it works perfectly.
Does anyone know if there is a known bug for version 11g.
Thank you very much.

Global items for cross application references in Apex

Hi,
With reference to discussion (Re: Setting Application Items across APEX Applications) , I would like to know if we can pass values from one application's global item to another application?
The above mentioned discussion didn't seem to reach to any conclusion.
Scenario is -
1. Application 1 has a global item G_USER_ATTR1 which gets fetched with certain attributes when user logs into the application, at page 101.
2. There is a link between App 1 and App 2, where it is expected to receive values for G_USER_ATTR1 from App 1 to App 2, when you navigate from App 1 to App 2, where authentication is handled by cookie.
3. On App 2, the value for G_USER_ATTR1 does not get fetched.
Am I missing something here?
Also, when what is the preocess flow on page 101 when a user gets authenticated by cookie while navigating from App 1 to App 2?
I used a page process to fetch the values again in the item on App 2's page 101's post processing pl sql block. But it didn't solve my problem. Please help.
Other than this, the badge report template on Apex 5 Universal Theme doesn't work. I named the columns in query to match with the substitution strings in report template, but it didn't work. The card template for report however works fine . What can be the issue?

Farhan,
look at Grassroots Oracle: Shared authentication across multiple APEX applications blog for shared authentication,
if you miss something to set share authentication.

First check whether Application Item name in both application is same and
set scope of application item in both application set to global.

No need to write plsql block for set value of Application item in application 2.
simply refer or use :G_USER_ATTR1 as value in Application 2.

How to change the application title in apex while importing it ..

Hi ,Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "1001804".
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:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
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.
I have an issue here. As per the requirements I need to change the application title in Apex while
importing it from One instance to another instance.Please clarify what you mean by "application title". The Application Name in the application definition? The displayed Logo in the user interface properties?
Ex: My application title is WATERFALL PORTAL in iWATERFALL instance ,it must be changed to PUAT PORTAL if im Importing it to PUAT instance.
This change has to be done Dynamically. Without Entering it Manually.Also clarify what you mean by "instance". An "APEX instance" refers to the APEX installation in a database. The "APEX instance" does not have a specific name property, and would therefore usually be referred to using the database name. Or do you mean the APEX workspace containing the application?

Query of the complicated rdf-report in apex-report

I try to migrate rather complicated rdf report into Apex. I have sucesfully converted the reports file xx.rdf into:
1. xx.xdo file
2. xx.rtf word file
3. xx.xml data file
4. xx_S.pls and xx_B.pls as package files in database
The converted xx.rtf file is OK with all fields and images in right places In the Word I get a beautiful xx.pdf report when I start the preview using converted xx.xml file as the data file. -- The problem is just the package file with its several functions. The xml file has also many levels of data formed by tags like <list_g> etc.. Many of Word fields are CF fields from reports (xx.rdf) which now are as package functions with the same names.
Is there any direct way to generate the Apex report query whic form the xml data file? It seems impossible to start create an Apex query from the package functions and trying to embed on it all the same fields as in xml file. Is it possible to somehow use xx.xdo file and bi publisher as help.
Thank you very much.

Okay, there is some confusion there.. You said: "In our case the customer is not willing to invest into Oracle Reports", Yet you are converting an Oracle Report file for their application, is this NOT their report file?
Then you said " Also the customer is not very eager to use its BI Publisher for Apex reports " But APEX WILL be using BI Publisher for the PDF generation of the report, do they understand having Bi Publisher running the report that APEX can get the PDF from Bi Publsiher?
Sounds like the customer is rather snarky on their requirements..
Thank you,

Multi query PDF report in apex 4.0

Hi All...
I have created a report in apex 4.0. it consists of more than 40 queries. Initially it was working fine but now it has a very unpredictable behavior. Some of the queries were not retrieving the data. I just deleted them and then recreate them , the data retrieved. I took the backup of the whole application and imported it on another machine. The queries that were recreated were working fine but most of the other queries were not retrieving the data. This happened several times and each time a new set of queries doesnt retrieve the data...
What can be the problem? Is there any limitation with the "Report Query" size in in apex4.0?
Best Regards
Sajjad

40 QUERIES???? Why don't you move SOME of those to views in your database, unless they need some sort of parameters passed in, then move them to collections in a procedure... Sounds like a train wreck just waiting to happen....

Checkboxes displayed as diamonds when running reports in APEX

I read and implemented the steps offered in other postings on this subject and the checkboxes appear fine when I run the report locally on my PC. However, when I run the report in APEX (not through web service), the checkboxes are still not showing up. This is after uploaded the Wingdings font to the BI Publisher server; did the font mapping and defined the Property for RTP Template/ Characters used for checkbox to: Wingdings;254;111.
Does anyone have the solution to this?
These are the versions we're using:
Application Express 4.0.2.00.07
Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
Thank you.

Hi,
Give it a try by using the close and dispose method for report object and also use the GC.collect.
Hope it helps!!

Conver rdf file to the report in apex

Hi,
I have to migrate my report from rdf to apex... Is there any way to do it...
Thought of doing converion to xml in middle. But perhaps, the form2xml doesn't accepts this xml file...
any one please help me out on this..
Thanks,

There is no equivalent in the APEX environment.
Classic/Interactive reports use SQL to generate a web page.
BI Publisher could be used as an alternative reporting mechanism to generate PDF/office documents, but there is no reason why you couldn't call Oracle Reports from APEX - if you retain your application server, of course.
The statement of direction for oracle development tools provides a good high-level overview of oracle's recommended options.

Hello,
You want to do that directly from APEX?
I normally use PLSQL and dbms_scheduler (dbms_job) for that. Basically my PLSQL code is generating my csv file or pdf report and the job is running that every so often. Would that be an option for you?

Convert Oracle Application Reports to Oracle Reports

Hi All,
Our company has an old Oracle Financial Application with number of Reports. The Application Version is 10.7.0 SC161 and the database version is Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.3.0 - Production. It was installed in 1998 and was used till 2005. Now we have moved to different Financial App. The data on the application is not being updated anymore. Only the reports are being run on the old historical data. All the reports are canned reports that came with the application, for example Trial Balance, GL Transactions, etc. The rdf files are for example GLRTBD.rdf, GLACTANP.rdf, etc. My challenge is to convert these old application tied reports to new oracle reports and publish them to a new application server for use. I have moved the data by full export / import to a new 9i database. I have downloaded and installed the Reports developer in my workstation and got all the .rdf files from the old server to my workstation. When I try to open some of these rdf files I get compilation errors because of old pll librarys. I recompile them with out error when I am connected to the new database. The biggest problem is there are no direct sql statements in the reports. All of them use flex fields and they are populated by application packages. For example, the GLRTBD report has the following query:
SELECT
&PAGEBREAK_SEGMENT PAGEBREAK_SEGMENT_H,
&ACCOUNTING_SEGMENT ACCOUNTING_SEGMENT_H,
&FLEXDATA FLEXDATA_H,
&BEG_BAL BEG_BAL_H,
&ACTIVITY ACTIVITY_H,
&END_BAL END_BAL_H
FROM
GL_BALANCES GLB,
GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS GLCC
WHERE
GLB.ACTUAL_FLAG = 'A'
AND GLB.SET_OF_BOOKS_ID = &P_SET_OF_BOOKS_ID
AND GLB.CURRENCY_CODE = :P_CURRENCY_CODE
AND &CURRENCY_WHERE
AND &PERIOD_WHERE
AND GLB.CODE_COMBINATION_ID = GLCC.CODE_COMBINATION_ID
AND GLCC.CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID = :STRUCT_NUM
AND GLCC.TEMPLATE_ID IS NULL
AND &PAGEBREAK_WHERE
&GROUPORDER
and the the beforereport trigger contains:
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXSQL
CODE="GL#"
APPL_SHORT_NAME="SQLGL"
OUTPUT=":PAGEBREAK_WHERE"
MODE="WHERE"
DISPLAY=":P_PAGEBREAK_SEG_NUM"
NUM=":STRUCT_NUM"
TABLEALIAS="''''||GLCC"
OPERATOR="BETWEEN"
OPERAND1=":P_LOW_PB_SEG"
OPERAND2=":P_HIGH_PB_SEG"');
This is just one example. All the reports are like this. My question is what is the best way to convert these application reports to normal oracle reports and publish them to a new app server. All the reports need concurrent manager in the old server running to process the reports. How can I run them in a new application server without concurrent manager? We use about 20 reports from the old server. I would like to move these 20 reports to the new server and get rid of the overhead of running a whole application. I am looking for a way to convert these reports without recreating them. I would really appreciate your advise/direction in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your suggestion Rajesh. That is what I would like to do. But how do I recreate the reports in the new APEX server? All the flexfields are populated by the Oracle Application packages like:
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXSQL
CODE="GL#"
APPL_SHORT_NAME="SQLGL"
OUTPUT=":PAGEBREAK_WHERE"
MODE="WHERE"
DISPLAY=":P_PAGEBREAK_SEG_NUM"
NUM=":STRUCT_NUM"
TABLEALIAS="''''||GLCC"
OPERATOR="BETWEEN"
OPERAND1=":P_LOW_PB_SEG"
OPERAND2=":P_HIGH_PB_SEG"');
This is a builtin package for Oracle Application. What is the process getting these SRW packages in to the new server without actually installing the Oracle Applications. I have installed an apex server in a new linux server. How can I recreate these SRW packages in my new apex server? Thank you.

Regarding tutorial of how to call Oracle Reports from APEX

Hi,
I'm trying to call Oracle Reports from APEX using this tutorial.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
But in the step of 'Create the Oracle HTML DB Application', 'OE' doesn't appear in the LOV of Existing Schema, even though the sample schema exists in the schema and they are unlocked. And when I type 'OE' directly without using LOV, and press Next, the message 'Schema is reserved or restricted' appears.
How can I create the workspace based on OE schema?

Hello Shohei,
I know your following the tutorial, but if you want to call oracle reports from apex it is quite easy though if your working with oracle reports 9i or higher. Just create an html region and put in the source the html code for referencing an url like to_report
Or reference the same url from a button placed on the HTML region
(you can create a package that would create the whole URL and returns it as a string, easier for scalability)
Hope this can help you to (tutorial is good but try and learn from scratch is also good ;-) )

Extraneous text in Application-Reports

I posted this in the Content Areas discussion first, and the recommended I post it here instead. I ported several Application-Reports from WebDB to Portal and noticed that now, in the edit parameters form of the Application-Report there is new text appearing, like "Query Options" and "Formatting Options." How can I turn the extraneous text off?

I've checked and unchecked everything as appropriate. My problem is exactly with the words "Query Options." Those words print. I don't want them to. The didn't used to print with WebDB, now they do. There is no option to turn them off. Similarly, if I want to give users, for example, an output option, the words "General Options" appear above the "Output Format" selection area. Again, this was not true of WebDB. I would like to omit this, in my mind, extraneous text; is there any way to turn it off?
Edit Report > Goto Customization Form Display Options > Uncheck whatever options that you do not want.
NOTE: If you have any bind variables then "Query Option" text will come.

Where is the Oracle Application Server for Apex 3.2.1?

Hi, I feel ashamed asking this, but I want to know where to download the Application Server for Apex 3.2.1. Apex is installed in a DataBase 10gR1 and the O.S. where I will install the Application Server is RedHat
I think it is here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/index.html
But there is a lot of links and things to download and I don't even know if it will work because it is Release 3 and the DataBase is Release 1, but I tried downloading the "Oracle 10gR3 Companion (10.1.3.x) CD", but after running the installer in the disk1, I found that the Oracle HTTP Server that it would install does not include mod_plsql and I know I need it.
So, which one should I download, or where can I find it?
Thanks.

Strictly speaking you do not need Application Server or OHS for running Apex, you have an option in ApexListener. If it is a small installation then stick to EPG that comes built-in.
Try downloading the Oracle HTTP Server from here . You will need to check the commercial aspects yourself as OHS is not a free software for Production environment, AFAIK.
Cheers,
