Bug and Fix: Report Template Preview displays ORA-01002

Question

Hi, omniscient All!
Let me share some knowledge with you. There is an old APEX bug:
BUG: preview report template errors with ORA-01002
Report Template Preview/Copy Error
Template Preview Error:
You can definitely see it in 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1 versions: open any database application in AppBuilder, go to Shared Components→Templates, move cursor on Some Report Template row, click Preview Icon. Voilà:
report error:
ORA-01002: fetch out of sequenceI looked into Template Preview region's source and have found next WWV_RENDER_REPORT3.show call:
wwv_render_report3.show(
    p_query => '
select 1 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 2 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 3 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 4 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 5 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 6 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual
order by 1',
    p_row_template_id => :f4000_p245_id,
    p_region_id => 88449328191587806
  );I have no wish to go deep into my further investigation, therefore I just call a cause: APEX Team, you forgot to set the value of P_PLUG_SOURCE_TYPE parameter.
Workaround: While APEX Team will making a patch, those who can't wait it should fix it manually by executing next code:
update &APEX_SCHEMA.wwv_flow_page_plugs
   set plug_source = q'{wwv_render_report3.show(
    p_query => '
select 1 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 2 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 3 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 4 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 5 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual union
select 6 COL1, ''[...]'' COL2, ''[...]'' COL3, sysdate COL4 from dual
order by 1',
    p_row_template_id => :f4000_p245_id,
    p_region_id => 88449328191587806,
    p_plug_source_type => 'SQL_QUERY'
where id = 14562627207747006
/APEX_SCHEMA is schema where APEX was installed.
Good luck,
Alex

Answer 1

I wouldn't mind piggy-backing this to ask if the Report Template "shortcut" links at the top of the page can be updated to account for all sections that are now a part of the Report Template. "Before Each Row" and "After Each Row" sections are not listed in the shortcuts. There are also two shortcuts listed as "Before" and "After" which should probably be relabeled.
