Bug - Report Region In Wrong Position

Apex 4.2
I have a page with a parent region and 3 child regions
I want region 1 and 2 next to each other and region 3 below.
So I made the settings as below.
region 1
sequence 10
template: html region
start new grid: no
start new row: no
region 2
sequence 20
template: report region
start new grid: no
start new row: no
new column: yes
region 3
sequence 30
template: report region
start new grid: yes
For strange reason region 2 is appearing above region 1, even in edit page mode.
Region 3 is in the correct position
Any ideas ?

I tried it on oracle.com already and it works.
I tried adding a new region with a sequence of 15.
Once created it appears below region 1, which is correct.
I now change the setting to
start new grid: no
start new row: no
new column: yes
So it should appear next to region 1 but it is placed above region 1 next to region 2.
There must be something in my region 1 that is causing this, but I cannot find it
Can you reproduce this in a new page in the application on your local instance?
Is there anything in sub region 1 that renders non-APEX-sourced HTML that could break the grid? One of your previous threads involved a custom table inside the form layout.
Can you post the HTML source of the entire parent region (simplify it to contain as little content as possible and redact any sensitive information)?

Bug report & possible patch: Wrong memory allocation when using BerkeleyDB in concurrent processes

When using the BerkeleyDB shared environment in parallel processes, the processes get "out of memory" error, even when there is plenty of free memory available. This results in possible database corruption.
Typical use case when this bug manifests is when BerkeleyDB is used by rpm, which is installing an rpm package into custom location, or calls another rpm instance during the installation process.
The bug seems to originate in the env/env_region.c file: (version of the file from BDB 4.7.25, although the culprit code is the same in newer versions too):
330     /*
331      * Allocate room for REGION structures plus overhead.
332      *
333      * XXX
334      * Overhead is so high because encryption passwds, replication vote
335      * arrays and the thread control block table are all stored in the
336      * base environment region. This is a bug, at the least replication
337      * should have its own region.
338      *
339      * Allocate space for thread info blocks. Max is only advisory,
340      * so we allocate 25% more.
341      */
342     memset(&tregion, 0, sizeof(tregion));
343     nregions = __memp_max_regions(env) + 10;
344     size = nregions * sizeof(REGION);
345     size += dbenv->passwd_len;
346     size += (dbenv->thr_max + dbenv->thr_max / 4) *
347         __env_alloc_size(sizeof(DB_THREAD_INFO));
348     size += env->thr_nbucket * __env_alloc_size(sizeof(DB_HASHTAB));
349     size += 16 * 1024;
350     tregion.size = size;
Usage from the rpm's perspective:
The line 346 calculates how much memory we need for structures DB_THREAD_INFO. We allocate structure DB_THREAD_INFO for every process calling db4 library. We don't deallocate these structures but when number of processes is greater than dbenv->thr_max then we try to reuse some structure for process that is already dead (or doesn't use db4 no longer). But we have DB_THREAD_INFOs in hash buckets and we can reuse DB_THREAD_INFO only if it is in the same hash bucket as new DB_TREAD_INFO. So line 346 should contain:
346     size += env->thr_nbucket * (dbenv->thr_max + dbenv->thr_max / 4) *
347         __env_alloc_size(sizeof(DB_THREAD_INFO));
Why we don't encounter this problem earlier? There are some magic reserves as you can see on line 349 and some other additional space is created by alligning to blocks. But if we have two processes running at the same time and these processes end up in the same hash bucket and we repeat this proces many times to fill all hash buckets with two DB_THREAD_INFOs then we have 2 * env->thr_nbucket(37) = 74 DB_THREAD_INFOs, which is much more than dbenv->thr_max(8) + dbenv->thr_max(8) / 4 = 10 and plus allocation from dbc_put, we are out of memory.
And how we will create two processes that end up in the same hash bucket. We can start one process (rpm -i) and then in scriptlet we start many processes (rpm -q ...) in loop and one of them will be in the same hash bucket as the first process (rpm -i).
I would like to know your opinion on this issue, and if the proposed fix would be acceptable.
Thanks in advance for answers.

The attached patch for db-4.7 makes two changes:
it allows enough for each bucket to have the configured number of threads, and
it initializes env->thr_nbuckets, which previously had not been initialized.
Please let us know how it works for you.

Charles

Bug report : Navigator display wrong messages in package body

Just run some code , you can see the Navigator display wrong messages in the package body,but the package work fine in sqlplus / toad or other tools.
create or replace package SIMPLE AS
Procedure simple_proc ;
END;
create or replace package body SIMPLE AS
Procedure simple_proc
IS

begin
SELECT PERCENTILE_disc(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY tabtype DESC)

          FROM tab;
END simple_proc;
END;
Then open the package body in the Navigator (Connection Pane==> Connection Name ==> Packages ==> Simple Body ) , and show the error message:
Unexpected token
Missing Expression
But if I just create the procedure out of the package , it work fine.
CREATE OR REPLACE

END simple_proc;
/

This has already been discussed a number of times (see http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?objID=f260&q=Unexpected+token).
As I understand it, it is related to the parser that SQL Developer is using to display the package decomposition in the navigator not coping with the full PL/SQL and SQL syntax (largely analytical functions from memory).

Report region to display at a certain position

I have many regions in a report page, they are all in Report Template Body 3 position. I use column# to arrange the display order.
Regions that have data will always display first, those that do not have data are conditioned to not display. I may end up region displays at different position depends on how many regions have data. for example:
if I have 2 regions that have data, it shows: --------region1--------- (many spaces in between)----------region2----------
I want no matter how many regions I have data: --------region1-------------------region2----------
Sort of those display regions should be all next to each other. How do I control that display position?
Thanks,
Yivon
Edited by: YivonH on Sep 5, 2008 9:19 AM

Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate!!!
The link examples seem to have predefined set of regions, mine is more dynamic -- Not knowing how many region will display.
A hint I got from the links is: Get the display position, with width and height, from the previous region and set the position for the next region with the same width and height.
Can anyone show me how to do that? I am a newbie to the web programming...
Thanks again,

Apex 4.2 Report region sql query with "apex_item.text" renders wrongly

In APEX 4.2 page i have created region "Report data".
Type="SQl Query".
"User Interface"-->"Template"="Reports Region".
"Region Source"="select apex_item.text(1, '111') as c1 from dual".
Actually the select query is little bit more complex, but generally simplified it is such, that it uses function "select apex_item.text" to construct HTML textfield.
If i run in Sql Developer query
select apex_item.text(1, '111') as c1 from dual;Then result is:
<input type="text" name="f01" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="111" />But in APEX 4.2 the report is rendered so:
<td headers="c1">&lt ;input type=&quot ;text&quot ; name="f01" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="111" /&gt ;</td>(for this forum to display correctly i had to put extra spaces between" &gt" and ";" and so on)
And APEX 4.2 shows ugly html inside report cell/slot for me, displaying characters/symbols ">". The reason is that APEX HTML page source does not have symbol ">" but has " &gt ;" .
In APEX 3 i have similar query working well, without such anomaly.
What attribute should i change in APEX 4.2 region to display my query result as needed?
I need that function "apex_item.text", i cannot remove it.

Bug report, how do I find out what is wrong?

my computer keeps getting bug reports stuck all over the desktop. When I print them it is 3 pages long and I dont know how to use the information from it. It only occurs when my son is using Runescape an online game. My son says he has reported all the errors when the computer prompts him to. I did find an Bug Report that seems to be associated with this problem. Our computer did shut down occasionally also, but since I switched the location of the new memory I added it has not continued. The reason I am checking with this website is because this is where the reports are going. The first part of the error report from my computer is this:

What do I need to do to fix this problem? Could it be Runescapes issue? Is there other information that is more important to this? I really appreciate any help I can get with this problem. And I am sorry for being so long. I have included the Bug Report I found that is an almost exact duplicate of our issue.
Thank you again, Linda Peterson.

JavaJava13 Hey just wondering. Java is used for runescape on my computer, and it seems to be constantly crashing lately. Not only the game is crshing, it seems to even take down the whole computer with it. Sometimes the computer restarts and I get an error message.
"Your system has recovered from a serious error"
Java continues to add error reports to my desktop with this code: 4F530E43505002EF
Anyone help?

try checking with runescapes FAQ/tech support. I play
WC3: RoC and i only got that same memory location
error(0xc0000005). I got that memory error when I
used a no-cd third party program when they upgraded
the server. So, my advice is check on the FAQ for
errors and ask your son if he is using
ANY third party programs.The 0xc0000005 error is a standard error on Windows that can occur for any number of reasons.
It means something in the application tried to access memory to which windows knows the application should not be accessing.

Hi scott you are right!
If I create a region type=tree i have to select a tree query that exist (created as share component). If I midify the SQL for the tree it will be done at the shared components area and there is no undo feature.

SQL Report Region error in 4.0

Hi guys,
Forgive me if this issue has been discussed already. My server was updated to 4.0 and my report region now displays with the column headers above the wrong columns - they are slipped to the left one place. I looked at the source code and I think I found the problem. The code is below. The table id parameter is missing an end quote. This is just for Deafult Look 4.
I don't think there is anything I can do on my end, but let me know if I am wrong. Thanks.
Bill

Hi Bill,
I reviewed the procedure which emits the HTML for these built-in report templates, and you are correct - there is a missing trailing double quote after the ID attribute of the TABLE tag. I believe this affects all built-in report templates.
I have filed internal bug 9880291 and this will be a high priority for us to include in the forthcoming Application Express 4.0.1 patch set. A workaround (albeit not elegant) is to use one of the theme's report templates and not one of the built-in report templates. I'll ask internally if there is any other viable solution to this problem in the meantime.

Thanks for your comments
Several of our iPhone users in the UK reported the problem this morning, and as the Apple fan in the office I've got the job of resolving the issue
The original Excel was an old .xls file, but I have saved it as a .xlsx and the problem still appears
I haven't spoken with our developer yet, but I assume he has created the Excel file using some programming tools rather that directly using Excel
In the meantime I have created a simply spreadsheet with 8 cells contain values
In the first 4 cells, I have formatted them using Currency, and have used the currencies USD, DEM, GBP and CHF
In the remaining cells I have formatted them using the Accounting option, using the same currencies
When I review the spreadsheet on the iPhone (or iPad), the first 4 remain the same yet the last four all show the £ symbol
I have now changed the Region Format of the iPhone to United States, and when viewing on the iPhone the bottom 4 values are now all showing the $ sign!
If I had created the spreadsheet I would have put the Currency code in a seperate cell and purely used a numeric format for the number, and there would be no issue. That might be the only solution
Yes, the Director has the full MS Excel app on his Windows 8 device, but I can't expect all of our clients to go and do the same, in business many of them will have the iPhone
We may have to change the way we produce the report because of Apple's failings here, and it's not the first time that we have had to change something because Apple devices can't display them properly
In business, submitting a potential job contract only for the recipient to get the wrong idea of the costs is a major concern

Bug report: Reordering columns

Version 2.2
Came across a major bug in the reorder columns feature in Report Attributes
1. Create a report region with the following query
select
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15
from dual2. Click on Report Attributes
3. Uncheck the Show checkbox on columns 5 and 6
4. Click Apply Changes
5. Click the Down arrow on Column 15 to move it to the first position
6. Click on the Edit icon on Column 15 (or any other column) to go the Column Attributes page
7. Without changing anything, click Apply Changes on the Column Attributes page to come back to Report Attributes
Now, instead of Columns 5 and 6 having their Show checkbox unchecked, columns 4 and 5 have it unchecked!
[I have a report region with 2 dozen fields and a bunch of internal PK fields are not shown on the report so they had their Show checkbox unchecked. I re-ordered a bunch of fields and ran the report and was shocked to see all the internal fields exposed the the real fields hidden!]
Thanks

Carl:
Any update on this? What is the cause of the bug? Is there another workaround?
[It is very easy to forget to click Apply Changes after using the arrows to move the columns up and down and instead click on the Edit Column attributes icon and boom, that just messed up the columns' visibility on the report!]
Apex reports in general and the Report Attributes page is probably one of the most heavily used pages in the Builder so I think this is a critical issue.
Thanks for any update.

FCP 7 BUG REPORT: "close gap" screws up marker locations

First off, it's wonderful to finally have automatically moving markers. Thanks.
the bug:
If you "close gap" between two clips (ctrl-G), the markers past that point will ONLY update their locations correctly if the play head is positioned at the start of the gap. If the play head is in the middle of the gap, it does something wrong and unexpected. I edit with ctrl-G a lot, so this is a problem for me.
Also, while I greatly appreciate the new marker list export tool (which makes the self-moving markers useful), giving a longer-than-short name to a marker screws up the column spacing of the export. I propose having an option in the export box to automatically truncate long names to preserve column spacing. Or you could just space all columns based on the longest name.
Thanks

I posted it as a bug report as well.
I'm starting to see that these automatically moving sequence markers are of no use the way they behave now. For example, select half the clips in the timeline, type "+100" to move everything 100 frames, and watch how the markers don't keep up with the movement. Or just click and drag to move the clips. If you were using the markers to know where your VFX shots and commercial breaks are, you have now lost them. These sequence markers are only of use if they ALWAYS remain where they are in relation to the media below them.
Also, there needs to be an option for a specific marker to NOT ripple it -- not just a global toggle. For example, on a TV show you often have a specific length you need to hit in 23.98 to end up with the right length in 29.97 DF and it's nice to put a marker at that point in the sequence. But that doesn't work with ripple mode on.
In short, I like the new feature but it needs to be implemented more intelligently to be useful.

Query on item placement within a report region

Hi there,
I frequently place items within report regions for search texbox fields etc. Normally the items get placed above the report body, but since we have adopted a new theme, the items are appearing below the report.
Can anyone tell me where I can control the rendering order of the items within tht region in relation to the report body?
We are using Apex 3.2
Many thanks,
Mike Cretan

Thank you both for your responses. I did have my report region appearing at a template display point other than Page Template Body 3 (I had it at Region Position 06), and it would appear that Apex's default rendering order for any region other than Page Template Body 3 is for it to render the report first, followed by the regions items.
So it doesn't appear that there is any other way of getting the items above the report within the same region other than to use Page Template Body 3 display point, then to move the #BOX_BODY# placeholder within the page template to the desired location.
Correct me if I'm wrong here ;)
Thanks again,
Mike Cretan

Dynamic action with interactive report region refresh

Hi!
I'm using APEX 4.02
I've got a page with 2 regions.
Region1 is a (input) form
Region2 is an interactive report on the same table as region 1
When entering values on the form I'm trying to dynmically lookup similar records in the table with the interactive report.
I've made a dynamic action on the change of the form fields which should refresh the interactive report region. I can see this one fires if I add a alert to debug if it fires.
The dynamic report is based on a query with bind variables pointing to the form fields, for example
where
field1 = :P2_FIELD1
This works great on the page load, so no dynamic action is fired but I can see the rows in the report region are the ones I am looking for.
But the refresh of the report region is not working, it is never refreshing and/or showing the correct data after a change of the form fields, so it looks like the dynamic action "refresh region" is not working on the interactive report.
Any ideas why this can go wrong ?
I would like to solve this using standard dynamic actions and preferrably not via PL/SQL or JS, shoudl be possible if I should believe the documentation... ;)
Cheers
Bas

Hi,
When you change value to item, I assume you do not set value to session state.
Use interactive report advanced attributes "Page Items to Submit" , set items session state before report is refreshed.

"Between NVL" - Works in SQL Command, not in APEX report region

First, I realize I could use dynamic SQL (model 4), but I don't want to (too hard just yet).
I have a select statement with a series of Where conditions that employ values, in bind variables, supplied by the user.
I want the choice of parameters to be optional, so I am checking for and replacing nulls.
Select emp_name from employee_table where
emp_rating between nvl(:p7_rating_choice, 0) and nvl(:p7_rating_choice, 99)
and
emp_language_no between nvl(:p7_lang_choice, 0) and nvl(:p7_lang_choice, 99);
(the binds should be numeric).
The actual statement is quite a bit longer, but the point is that the BETWEEN NVL(:x, min) AND NVL(:x, max) piece does not seem to work when used in a report region.
It works fine if ALL parameters are provided, but returns an error if one or more are null.
In the SQL command window it works (with a pop-up) just fine.
By the way, the :p7_lang_choice bind variable is chosen from a LOV list which works in all other cases.
Also, if I disable nulls (choosing "no" in ITEM page), everything works fine. It seems that the substitution of the min and max values via the NVL returns the wrong data type.
Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Thanks Scott.
Every day brings a little more understanding!
I also noticed a simplified method in the APEX documentation (although there was no explanation of the code) as follows:
Where
(column = :p1_user_input_1 OR :p1_user_input_1 = [null substitution value])
AND
(column = :p1_user_input_2 OR :p1_user_input_2 = [null substitution value])
AND
etc...
Using the value you provide in the LOV section for the null, the second part of the OR handles the null situation.
For some reason I was so tied up with comparing to the column that I never thought to have an OR with a compare to something else.
Oh well.
Thanks,
Norm
