DB column name changes and APEX

All,
I found out that the database architect is planning to make changes to several of the column names in all of the tables I use in a large application. So...rather than open every screen, every condition, every procedure, etc. looking for the db fields I need to change, I am hoping I can find a way to do it in sql*plus.
At a minimum, I hope to be able to create a report for each table/column referenced in the application that will show the pages and places where it is referenced. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Patrick directed me to the Object Dependencies report - and it would work but you have to click on the "count" to see where it is referenced. I am hoping for a detail report. Patrick also suggested editing an application export to do global column name changes - that will also work. If you have done it differently, let me know.

Power View Enhancement Request - Allow for columns to drop off PowerView when column name changes in data model instead of rendering the PowerView inaccessible

Currently in PowerView, if a column name changes in the tabular model, and that column is being used in a PowerView chart, the PowerView will become inaccessible.
It would be nice if it functioned similar to Pivot Table. If a column name changes for a column that is being used in a Pivot Table, the field is just removed from the chart, and the user can select the newly named column.

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html
Hope this helps.

Column name change in Interactive Reports

Hi,
I am new to Interactive reporting. We have a report that is resulted from Essbase query. Now in the report, we want to change the column names which are basically the essbase dimension member name. Is it possible to chang ethe names per our requiremnet?
Please help.

Hi again,
I think that you may have posted your question in the wrong forum. This one is for Oracle Application Express and maybe that is the reason why you didn't understand my response. If your issue involves Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio or Hyperion reporting in general then you should ask in this forum instead:

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:

Presentation Layer column name change effects on existing reports ?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where user are not sure about the column names in Presentation Layer.
so they want us to create the reports and once the reports are delivered they will give us the column name as per their requirement.
now i read couple of blogs related to this, that does it affects the exiting reports?
in couple of blogs they says that i won't. becaus BI server creates the alias for the old name and will reflects it wherever it's used in reports..
So can anyone tell me where this alias name has been stored in OBIEE?
and is there any precaution that needs to be done while doing this beacuse we are expecting to create around 40-50 reports and changing the column name after changing the presentation layer name change will increase lots of work..
Thanking You..

I've confirmed it on a 10g environment that when you rename the column in the RPD the existing reports reflect the change.
What I was referring to in the statement you highlight is that a column name can be changed when being used as the definition of a report. If somebody specifies an abbreviation of the current name to fit it in a table or chart then it will not be updated from a name change in the RPD.
So long as you build reports using the name provided by the RPD and none of the developers take the liberty of renaming it in the column properties of the request/analyses the single rename should take effect through all the reports you build.
You can also manage the column name by renaming it in a report and using the save as system wide default. But the way you intend to do it would be the best method.

Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system. We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report. When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date. However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading? I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string. See below for actual display:
The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail):
Fund Account Description Balance 07/01/2014 Budget/Goal FY 14-15 YTD Actual 02/28/2015 Ending Balance 02/28/2015
In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names. See below:
In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
Fund Account Description Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE. Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY. YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE. Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
Second, all data display correctly.
Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

Column name changes in Admin to desktop

I've already created several reports. They all have a column that has the same label. I want to change the label without going into each report and changing to what it should be. I changed the source column label in Admin but it doesn't automatically update the column names in the reports that use this column. I thought this would be the quickest and most intuitive method but it hasn't worked...is there another way besides tediously opening each report and renaming the columns?

I am pretty sure you will have to edit each report. It is annoying, but it makes sense. Suppose there is a folder with an item "User". Some reports are created using "User" as a column heading. Other reports have a different audience or purpose, so "User" gets a heading of "Employee", "Reported By", or something else. When the folder item gets changed to "User Name", Disco does not automatically assume that this is a blanket change across all instances. If it did, then you'd have to go into those places where the worksheet column was purposely changed to something else, and change it back.
The SQL Inspector shows a close approximation of what Disco is going to run. The column labels have no meaning in the database, as they can be different from the actual column names in tables, views, and material views. The SQL Inspector allows you to take the code Disco is going to run, and use it in another tool for diagnosing problems, so having the labels in the statement would defeat this purpose.

Column name change

hello,
i have used one same caloumn in more than 10 reports. Now there is a name change for it.
is it possible to change the column name in all answers report at once... ? any possible ways ......
thanks

Hi,
Yes. There is one way. If you have not used custom column names for the column you are using in multiple reports, just rename the Presentation Column name in RPD. Make sure the older name appears under the Alias Tab when you go to the Column Properties in RPD (Presentation Layer).
Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
Thanks,

Retrieving WEBI Report Column Name

Hi,
Can anyone please help me to retrieve the column names from an WEBI report body?
ReportDictionary reportDictionary = boDocumentInstance.getDictionary();
for(int x=0;x<reportDictionary.getChildCount();x++){
                                                     System.out.println("Report Fields ["x"] :"+reportDictionary.getChildAt(x));
From the above code snippet I'm getting the column names equivalent to the original object one. But if that is getting changed in the report body then I'm unable to find the changed one.
Also please help me to retrieve the Formula definition of an object. like
For column name Country , Formula Definition will be =Name of([Country]).
Thanks,
Nirabhra

Hi Subham,
If you are looking for the size of the WID file, you can get this through the InfoObject.
Please note that this WID file only changes if the WebI document was actually saved.
Below is a sample code snippet that will retrieve the file size from an InfoObject:
IInfoStore boInfoStore = (IInfoStore) boEnterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore");
String query = "SELECT SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE='false' AND SI_NAME='" + webiDoc + "'";
IInfoObjects boInfoObjects = boInfoStore.query(query);
if (boInfoObjects.size() > 0) {
     IInfoObject boInfoObject = (IInfoObject) boInfoObjects.get(0);
     IFiles boFiles = boInfoObject.getFiles();
     IFile boFile = null;
     for (int i=0; i<boFiles.size(); i++) {
         boFile = (IFile) boFiles.get(i);
         out.print(boFile.getName() + ": " + boFile.getSize() + "<BR>");
} else {
      out.print("No WebI document found!");
Hope this helps.

Dan

[Swing] JTable & Oracle DB: SQL Query for Column Names Change

Hello,
I apologise for the 'stupid' thread subject name.
Now i have a JTable wich i fill with rows from an Oracle DB.
The query is something like this: "SELECT location_id, location_name FROM locations*bold*", and in the table i will have the columns names LOCATION_ID & LOCATION_NAME.
I want to change this query like: "SELECT location_id "Location ID", location_name "Location Name" FROM locations".
The only problem is that i CAN NOT insert "" inside ""
So if anyone know how to fix this 'problem' please share that with me.
Thank you,

Column Name change in IR

Hi,
I want to display the different column name in dashboard other than the column name in result set. for eg: I have the results with column name emp_id. now i want to display this column name as Employee_ID in dashboard. How to do this?
Thanks in Advance...

Either change the column name in the Query on the Request Line it does not impact the column selected similar to the SQL Select statement AS
OR
Add a Computed Column in Results referencing emp_id and then Hide emp_id.

Using values returned from SQL for Report column names

I am building reports against our TFS development db.
One of the reports tracks days spent (Dwell Time) in various status categories (eg: New, Assigned, In Development, Hold, etc) for a given "ticket".
For a fixed list of values from {Work Item].System_State, I can send the results (days in Assigned) to the column named (Assigned) for each status for each event in the [Work Item History], and then sum them for each ticket as:
Ticket ID      New          Assigned       InDev       etc
1230001        2                  0                 0          ...
1230001        0                  1                 2          ....
SUM            2                    1                2         ....
However, I have many different Projects, each of which use their own Status names.
I don't want to duplicate the same basic report, if I can avoid it.
How can I name and generate this data for the unique Status list for each Project?
Simplest analog is: name = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb")
and allows value for a column name (category) as: =IIF(Fields!Status.Value = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb"), Fields!Days.Value, 0)
However this fails beause:
1. It only delivers the FIRST status value, and,
2. I cannot SUM an expression which is itself an aggregate (using First).

RRapport,
Is this still an issue?
Thanks!

year    dm    idm     emp
here except year all the data have same structure. So my output displays same name for all.
Plz share ur ideas to correct me
Thanks in advance

Hi:
using same dataelement is not a problem, you should use same data element with different field name and then specified in the column name ( as mentioned in field name), it should work like
     <%
if not lt_but000[] is initial.
      %>
      <htmlb:tableView id    = "partner"
                       table = "<%= lt_but000 %>" >
        <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName="partner" >
        </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
        <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName="NAME_FIRST" >
        </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
        <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName="NAME_LAST" >
        </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
      </htmlb:tableView>
      <%
endif.
      %>
