Before report trigger execution sequence

Hi,
What is the execution sequence of the before report trigger ?
In the report builder help, the definition says "The Before Report trigger fires before the report is executed *but after queries are parsed and data is fetched*."
But the oracle document "Oracle iDS Reports: Build Internet Reports: Volume 2: Student Guide" says
"Before a report executes; *after queries are parsed, but before records are fetched*
I have built a report where, i am populating a table A with some data in the before report trigger. The data model query is a "select * from A ". But the report o/p is blank since the before report trigger was fired after the query was parsed and fetched. My understanding is that the queries should only be parsed but not fetched before the "before report trigger"
Regards,
Suresh

Hi,
this is an important question.
In fact the online help is right: Before its execution the query is parsed and data fetching is strarted.
Thus any plsql operation that may influence the query and the data accessed is too late in the BEFOREREPORT trigger.
THe issue is that there is no error message or warning. THe problem scenario bandwidth is wide: From "no problem at all" to constant or intermittent error scenarios or worst case unrecognized problems like missing records or any strange behavior in the layout.
So very carefull while using BEFOREREPORT trigger

  • Drill down reports from Before Report Trigger

    Hallo,
    I am using reports 6.08 and I want to run several subreports from the parameter form of a master report. However when I call srw.run_report() from the Before Report Trigger with batch=no I get the error message ... When I use batch=yes I cannot use destype=srcreen. When I use the same call from a button trigger it works fine.
    How can I call a drill down report from the Before Report Trigger?
    The master report should not create a report itself; only the drill down report should be visible. How can I exit the master report without raising an exception after running the drill down report?
    Thanks a lot - Ulrich

    Ulrich,
    The only place where it is valid to call a report using srw.run_report() with a destype=Screen (or Preview) is from a button of an already run report (to provide drill down capabilities).
    In your situation where you're really only using Reports as a parameter form (in the master case) I would suggest that you look to use a real Oracle Form as the master driver, and run_product calls to generate the required reports.
    Hope this helps,
    Danny

  • Difference between After parameter Form Trigger and before Report Trigger

    hi,
    Can some one tell me difference between After parameter form Trigger and Before parameter trigger.
    Why do we need both these trigger , why can't we use any one of them because after parameter trigger will obviously fire before report trigger and similarly before report trigger will fire after parameter form.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    i will make it clear..!
    Actually, we have four type of triggers in reports..!
    Before Parameter -- fires before params are suppied to the calling report..
    After Parameter -- fires after params are suppied to the calling report..
    Before Report -- fires before report is generated..
    After Report. -- fires after report is generated..
    Before Report and After Report triggers are used for formatting the report design..
    like u can specify a report to be displayed based on a condition in the Before
    Report trigger and u can specify some backend updations in the after report trigger
    which fires after report is generated..

  • How to set multiple operating units in before report trigger

    hi all
    can any one help me out in getting clear in how to set multiple operating units in before report trigger in oracle report.
    as we set single operating unit (mo_global.set_policy.context('S',81); as 81 is my operating unit).then who to set for multiple operating unit at run time.

    Sounds like eBusiness Suite, right? Better ask this in the appropriate forum.

  • REP-1825: Before Report Trigger returned FALSE

    Is there any work around for this error...??
    I am running a report in a batch mode. I have an old version 3.0.5.14 for unix.
    There is logic on the Before Report Trigger and an email is sent. A blank email if nothing needs to be reported or with data if there is anything to be reported.
    I updated the report (a different program unit), recompiled it and now I am getting this error and no email.
    any ideas?
    thanks
    simona

    Hi Simona,
    Does this happen when you are not running in batch mode? It sounds like you will need to step through the report, possibly with some srw.message calls to output some of the data values to find out why the Before Report Trigger is now returning false. Without seeing the logic, it's difficult to say.

    Lim

    Rules-wise, you have the beforeReport trigger before the dataStructure, and that is correct. Syntax, the parameter is going in okay. Question is then the logic or data. Does the function work outside of this? That is, if you were to exec the function in an anonymous block of PL/SQL, do you get the desired output (i.e., test for boolean value returned)?

    Rules-wise, you have the beforeReport trigger before the dataStructure, and that is correct. Syntax, the parameter is going in okay. Question is then the logic or data. Does the function work outside of this? That is, if you were to exec the function in an anonymous block of PL/SQL, do you get the desired output (i.e., test for boolean value returned)?

  • Difference between After parameter Trigger and befor report Trigger

    hi,
    Can anyone tell me Functional difference between After parameter Trigger and Before Report Trigger. with some practical example or scenario.
    I did try few things but I couldn't make out any difference.
    thanks
    ram

    Probably none at this point.
    We pass parameters from a form (and do not use the report param selection screen), but always run code in the afterpform.
    put your parameter form code processing in the afterpform. I rarely ever use before report.
    The order is as expected:
    before pform
    param form
    after pform
    before report
    report
    --between pages during report run
    after report

  • Using Before report Trigger with Sql Server

    i have used packages in oracle using before report triggers in bi publisher 11g is it possible to do in the same way with sql server ?? don't know much about sql server . any link or documents

    Hi T.holt,
    Personally, I don’t believe SQL 2008 R2 with ADMT 3.2 is supported.  From the guidelines of install the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT), ADMT v3.2 requires a preconfigured instance of SQL Server for its underlying data store. We
    should use SQL Server Express and install ADMT v3.2 on a member server. ADMT installation enforces the following service pack requirements:
    • SQL Server 2005 Express must be installed with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later.
    • SQL Server 2008 Express must be installed with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later.
    If you use full versions of SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008. In this case, you need to install and run the ADMT console on a remote computer, and you can run multiple ADMT consoles on different remote computers. If
    you use a full version of SQL Server, ADMT installation does not enforce any service pack requirements.
    For more information about installing ADMT in the target domain, you can review the following article.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc974370(v=ws.10).aspx

  • XML Publisher "before report trigger"

    I would like to create a new XML Publisher report for Oracle EBS, whereby I can explode a BOM definition before the report fires, but I'm not sure how to go about this in the sql portion of the XML data definition file. Any direction on where to gain this info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Actually, I just found the following in the 11.5 XDO UG, which I believe answers my own question:
    <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="employee.beforeReport()"
    />
    <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="employee.beforeReport(:Pa
    rameter)"/>

  • Running a query only once for a report in Reports 6i in a BEFORE REPORT trigger.

    Hello all -
    I am using Oracle Reports 6i on Windows NT 4.0 SP 6.0.
    The report I am converting from Access to Oracle Reports is
    rather complex, and features detail by decile (a rank) within
    territory (geographical sales area). Also it features a summary
    at the bottom of each territory/decile combination which
    summarizes not only the territory information, but goes above
    that to higher levels like district, region, and national.
    With the help of a consultant, we have managed to get the report
    almost finished. However, we are running into a snag with the
    summary. While my two main queries need to run in the data
    model as normal, I would like to run the summary query _only
    once_ during the entire cycle of the report, and have the report
    fields populated once for the entire report. This is possible
    because for a district, the summary numbers are the same on
    every page of the report, only the territory information
    changes. So by only having the query run once and fill the
    report values once, this would save considerably on the report
    runtime.
    However, I have tried a few different methods but cannot get the
    report to recognize the fields in the query, most likely because
    they are out of scope at report creation. Does anyone have any
    ideas on how I can accomplish this in Reports? Any help would
    be appreciated - I hope my question was clear, if not please let
    me know.
    Thanks,
    -Jennifer Prichard

    Hello!
    You can place in the data model editor formula and placeholder
    columns outside of any groups. I think you need for each of your
    summary-attibutes a placeholder column and one formula column.
    Use the formula column to populate the placeholders via PL/SQL.
    Afterwords you can reference the placeholders anywhere you want.

  • Trigger Execution sequence

    As per my knowledge we can writer n number of triggers of 12 different types for a table.
    My question is , if we have more number of triggers of same type on table then which will execute first?
    Is it random execution or any criteria is there for that.

  • Oracle Apps - How to create a table before report execution?

    Hi,
    I'm new to oracle apps, I created a procedure to get some values for a report and created a query to get the remaining values. Now I need to populate those values into a temporary table and after the report execution I have to delete the table. In apps there is no before parameter form. If any one can help me, that will great.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Do you really need to create a table INSIDE the report? It doesn't look like a good idea to me. For instance, what happens if 2 users try to execute the report at the same time? I would create a global temporary table before any execution of the report, and then I would just populate the data in the table in the 'Before Report' trigger. The data in a global temporary table is only visible at session level, so you wouldn't have any problems with multiple users executing the report at the same time and the data disappears once you finish your session, so you don't need to take care of deleting the data.
    Hope it helps.
