BI Pub report bursting based on parameters set in interactive dashboard

Hi,
Could someone help me in creating and bursting reports as per the following requirement:
1. there is interactive dashboard with html multi select parameter that has display values department, location, employee job code. user can select one or more column name from this multi select parameter field.
2. need to create a preview button in dashboard, clicking on which display a report on dashboard page showing how many files are generated after bursting and employee count
3. need to create a generate/burst report button to automatically burst a bi publisher report based on the column names that user has provide in step 1 above.
4. how can we capture the parameter values from dashboard and pass to bi publisher report?
5. how can we automatically burst this report based on column names say both 'department-location'?
6. in bursting of report we can split only by one column name but here we need to do based on two or more column names set by the end user in the parameter
-Priyanka

Thanks for a quick response but I am still not clear on
1. how to do this using custom java code
and
2. actually user would login to interactive dashboard and there he will give these parameters using which we need to automatically burst a BI publisher report. Can this be done some how?

RMA, WIP,Inventory, finance ....
now i need to display the report dynamically based on parameters
say, for example if RMA, WIP, Inventory, finance are YES,NO,YES, NO
then the report should display only RMA , Inventory....
any ideas/suggestions would appreciated......
Thanks,

Thanks for the Reply Sabine, let me put my question this way,
i have to display the report based on the selection criteria(parameters)
i have a generalized view which will display all the items....but the client needs them in a fashion where he chooses them as a groups since, the list is so big and he wouldn't be needing them all at once.
here is what i'm thinking for the moment since, discoverer cannot hide the columns based on runtime parameters ....correct me if i'm wrong (as per my knowledge...it cannot ) i have decided going with 16 worksheets 4 groups of items say,(RMA, WIP, INV, FINANCE..)
and now based on the flags what the end user chosses i may have to display the appropriate worksheet ....is this solution possible...if so do i have to subqueries...??..or is there any better ideas/suggestion....

Automatic Report Bursting based on column names given by user as parameter.

Hi,
Could some help me achieve the following functionality. The requirement are:
1. create a report that has parameters that are column names (display values e.g: department, location, employee job code)
2. the end user will select one or more columns from the multi-select parameter
3. we want that there should be a button on clicking that the user should get automatic file bursting. He should not be required to go to schedules tab and create a new job for that.
4. the report should burst to a file location depending on the columns selected by the user, e.g. if user selected department and location then we should have files saved in the set file location as sales-india.pdf, sales-us.pdf, hr-india.pdf, hr-us.pdf and so on.
I am new to BI Publisher.
Could you help me in creating such a parameter, what should be report sql for capturing the data from parameter and then doing report bursting automatically based on two or more parameter values given by the user.
There is no need to show the report to the user in BI Publisher as there are thousands of rows in a table. Three tables join to give the employee data.

Crystal Report Bursting based on a field in the report

Hi,
I have a crystal report with Invoice Number as a field in it. I need to burst the report with following as the output.
1. Destination: FTP server
2. Format : PDF : One PDF for every invoice.
I was trying to use Publication through Infoview. I would like to know how to achieve this.
I do not have any parameters in the report or any group of users/recipients. Hence, I have not created any Profiles.
Thanks in advance.
Girish

Add your CR report as source document and then choose to have Dynamic recipients for your publication. Use there as source for the recipients' list the same report you want to burst. As Recipient identifier select the field that contains the invoice ID.
In the personalization panel go to the Filters area and select in the Report field drop down your invoice field from the report. In the Dynamic recipients mapping drop down select again the field containing the invoice ID.
Select the appropriate settings in the destination and format panels and let at least on BO user subscribe to the publication .
After that you can run the publication.

Default date parameters to trunc(sysdate,'IW') in BI Pub Reports 11G

Hi All,
I have a requirement to default the date parameters in the BI Pub Report to the following when the reprot is scheduled to run.
Start Date - Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 8
End date - Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 2
Steps followed:
1. I have created 2 Date parameters in the data model as :P_START_DATE and :P_END_DATE.
2. Created one data set with the query select Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 8 "P_START_DATE" , Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 2 "P_END_DATE
I have used the same names for the dates so that they are referenced, but its not working as expected.
Is there any other step i need to follow so that when i run the report from the dashboard, these default values populate which should be editable also.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks &Regards
Geetha

Hi Neeraj
Not null parameters are not supported in the current release. All you could do it either default a value in there for the user - check the doc for details. Or drop a msg into the report if that value was null and not return any data. The second is not great I admit :0)

Dynamic report based on Parameters and a Button

Trying to make a dynmic report based on Parameters entered.Wanted to refresh report when i click on a button say "OK" based on parameters entered.
(1) created 2 text boxes -- Parameters --One date and other employee No
(2) on the same page i created a report-region which id dynamic "PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query "
In this query i am using the parameters created in step1
(3) Then i created a Button say "OK" .
(4) When i enter parameters and then press OK i need to refresh my report in region defined in step2
This refresh is not happening .
Not sure what is missing
I tried using branching it didn't work
In the dynamic region it shows "No data found"
Please help

sachin
1) make sure there is no Optional Redirect defined on the OK button. That is, make sure the page is really submitted.
2) in the PL/SQL body generating the query, print out the query using htp.p() so you get to see it and test it.
3) use the session state link in the developer toolbar in conjunction with the technique in step 2) to debug your query
Maybe the report region is refreshing, but it just isn't returning any results.

Utilizing XML Publisher Report Bursting Program user-variables

When running the XML Publisher Report Bursting Program against a bursting control file, I see the following in the log:
Bursting propertes.....
{user-variable:cp:territory=US, user-variable:cp:ReportRequestID=4413342, user-variable:cp:language=en, user-variable:cp:responsibility=20678, user-variable.OA_MEDIA=http://hostname:8000/OA_MEDIA, burstng-source=EBS, user-variable:cp:DebugFlag=N, user-variable:cp:parent_request_id=4413342, user-variable:cp:locale=en-US, user-variable:cp:user=USER, user-variable:cp:application_short_name=XDO, user-variable:cp:request_id=4413368, user-variable:cp:org_id=204, user-variable:cp:reportdescription=Report Name, user-variable:cp:Dummy for Data Security=Y}
I would like to reference one or more of these in
1. My bursting control file
2. My template (to be output in final PDF).
I cannot seem to get this to work in my bursting control file by referencing:
${cp:user} (note that it just returns the word 'null' here instead of the value)
nor can I get it to work in my RTF template by referencing:
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘cp:user’)?>
Should this work, or I am missing something?
Thanks

Thanks Ike, it likely would. The thing I keep coming back to is an example in the BIP Developer's Guide that suggests you can set a property and have it made available:
DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor (cfgFile, xmlFile, dir);
Properties prop= new Properties();
prop.put("user-variable:ADMIN_EMAIL","[email protected]");
dp.setConfig(prop);
dp.process()
Seems to me that the work going on behind the scenes here (based on log statements alone) suggest the same sort of integration.. but I suppose not.
Thanks

Any ideas?

Creating snapshot in SSRS 2008 R2 report will disable some parameters.

Hi guys.
I'm new to SSRS, so the question that I'm going to ask might sound stupid, hope you guys don't mind.
I have a few reports that display data based on the snapshot. I found out that some of the parameters on certain reports were disabled and some are not. When I removed the snapshot setting and display the report based on latest data, those disabled parameters
will be enabled again.
After some search from Google, I understand that when using snapshot, the parameters will be disabled. But in my case, not all parameters are disabled. And there is some reports with snapshot, all of their parameters are enabled. Please help me on this if
there is any settings that I need to do to enable all of the parameters.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi engloon,
According to your description, you want to enable parameters when creating a snapshot. Right?
In Reporting Services, Snapshots can be created manually or at scheduled intervals for any report that can run unattended. Furthermore, if the report uses parameters, you must specify default values to use when the report runs. You can specify stored credentials
and parameter values in the property pages for the report.
In this scenario, you may have default values for parameters in some reports so that it looks those reports have parameters enabled. So if you want to have snapshot rendered with parameter selection, you can specify the default values in Parameter tab. Please
follow the steps below:
Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to modify parameter settings.
Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
Select the Parameters tab. If the Parameters tab is not visible, the report does not contain parameters.
Reference:
Create, Modify, and Delete Snapshots in Report History
Add a Snapshot to Report History (Report Manager)
Parameters Properties Page (Report Manager)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Grouping Based on Parameters

Hi
can anyone lease explain me how to create a group based on the parameters entered by the user ?

hmm, are your parameters set to dynamic? if yes here is the solution which might work - Direct from Crystal Report Help file
Adding dynamic grouping using parameter fields
You can design your report so that users can change the grouping presentation of the report without refreshing information from the database. For instance, users can move from a customer-focused view of the report to either a region-focused or an order-focused view. Dynamic grouping combines the use of group selection formulas and the Parameter Panel.
To add dynamic grouping using parameter fields
Create a report using the sample data, Xtreme.mdb, and place the following fields from left to right in the Details section:
{Customer.Customer Name}
{Customer.Country}
{Orders.Order ID}
{Orders.Order Date}
{Orders.Order Amount}
Create a new parameter field and call it GroupBy.
Select String from the Type list.
Add the following values to your parameter:
Customer
Country
Order
Select Editable from the Show on (Viewer) Panel list, and click
OK.
Create a new formula field and call it GroupField.
Type the following formula into the Formula text box.
If {?GroupBy} = 'Customer' then
{Customer.Customer Name}
Else if {?GroupBy} = 'Country' then
{Customer.Country}
Else if {?GroupBy} = 'Order' then
*ToText({Orders.Order ID})
Note: Crystal Reports formulas do not allow conditions to return different data types. Both the Customer Name and Country fields return strings, so the ToText function must be used to convert the
Order ID from a number to a string as well.
Save your formula and close the Formula Workshop.
In the Group Expert, select the GroupField formula as your group field, and click OK.
Customize summary fields and section formatting as you like.
Users can now change the grouping presentation of the report by modifying the GroupBy parameter value on the Parameter Panel.
Note: Changing parameter values will not cause a database refresh as long as the parameter is a non-data parameter.
hope this helps

Produce report NOT based on a single sql statement

I want to produce a tabular report based on a series of sql statments. Specifically, a report of managers that wil include counts of employees that are in other tables using differing criterias.
Name Count Count
using using
criteria 1 criteria 2
Manager1 35 242
I would expect to write an anonymous pl/sql block with a driving cursor determining the managers to report on. Within that cursor, I would execute a number of other queries to derive the count for each of the two columns.
I have tried creating a report region based on a sql statement, but that requires a single sql statement. I also tried creating a report region based on plsql, but it required an into statement of defined items. This option looks like it can provide multiple rows, but since it selected 'INTO' named fields, it only creates a report with the last row of data.
I must be missing something. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

If you want a wizard to create the form and report for you then yes you need to have a table. One thing that you can do is define a view that contains the data you need and define an Instead Of trigger on that view so the automatic fetch and dml will work but you can have the data stored into the different objects. basically the view and the trigger work as a router/dispatcher for the data.
*edit*
I should also add that you can write a pl/sql package which does the fetch and the dml operations with the form items as input. This is the solution I would typically use for any form that was not a simple CRUD form for a table. One thing to note is for the fetch I prefer to use out parameters for the form items so it requires the developer to map the item to the param in the app so it will show up when you are searching through the app. I highly discourage hiding item references inside of packaged code.
Good Luck!

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values
Outline of requirement :-
Master / Detail page with Detail updated on same page using SQL Query (updateable report).
The detail region has the following source
SELECT item_id,
       contract_id,
       CASE WHEN hardware_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HA'
            WHEN backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'BD'
            WHEN hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HS'
       END item_type,
       hardware_id,
       backup_dev_id,
       hardware_os_id
FROM   "#OWNER#".support_items
WHERE contract_id = :P26_CONTRACT_IDThe table support_items implements arced relationships and has the following columns
CREATE TABLE SUPPORT_ITEMS
ITEM_ID         NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
CONTRACT_ID     NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
HARDWARE_ID     NUMBER,
BACKUP_DEV_ID   NUMBER,
HARDWARE_OS_ID NUMBER
)A check type constaint on support_items ensures that only one of the fk's is present.
      (    hardware_id    IS NOT NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL
      )    Hardware_Id is a FK to Hardware_Assets
Backup_dev_id is a FK to Backup_Devices
Hardware_os_id is a FK to Hardware_op_systems
The Tabular Form Element based on item_type column of SQL query is Displayed As Select List (based on LOV) referencing a named list of values which have the following properties
Display Value     Return Value
Hardware Asset    HA
Backup Device     BD
Computer System   HSThe Tabular Form Elements for the report attributes for hardware_id, backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id are all Displayed As Select List (Based on LOV).
What I want to do is only display the Select List for the FK depending on the value of the Select List on Item Type, e.g.
Item_Type is 'HA' then display Select List for hardware_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'BB' then display Select List for backup_dev_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for hardware_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'HS' then display Select List for hardware_os_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists backup_dev_id and hardware_id.
There are properties on elements to conditionally display it but how do we reference the values of the SQL query Updateable region? they are not given a page item name?
Also on the Tabular For Elements there is an Edit tick against a report item - however when you go to the Column Attributes there is not a property with which you can control the Edit setting.
What's the best way of implementing this requirement in APEX 3.1?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "user13515136".
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 a multi-row region that displays values and allows entries in a number of fields.Provide exact details of how this has been implemented. (An example on apex.oracle.com is always a good way to do this.)
I should like the fields to be conditional in that they do not permit entry, but still display, if certain conditions apply (e.g. older rows greyed out). Can this be done? Almost anything can be done, often in multiple ways. Which are appropriate may be dependent on a particular implementation, the skills available to implement it, and the effort you're willing to expend on it. Hence it's necessary to provide full details of what you've done so far...
