Characterset of atachment in subscription email for interactive report

Hi,
I really like the subscription option on interactive reports. However we have an issue with the attachment.
In the attachment it says : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
But that leaves me with � characters where an ë should be. If I override the character encoding setting of my browser I do get the right characters.
I suspect the characterencoding is WE8MSWIN1252 wich is my database characterset.
What setting must I change to either have the attachment be really encoded in utf8 or have an alternative charset setting in the html.
We are using Oracle 11g and Apex 4.0.1
Thanks,
Neil

Sorry for the type (see above ;) ),
There is no way to change the characterset used by APEX, at least none that would be configurable in APEX.
In both FF 3.6 and IE 7 I get proper characters when downloading the HTML, but improper encoding in the mail attached report.
When looking into the source (raw hex, so there's definetly no editor-awareness of any charset), I see proper encoding in the HTML Download, but no encoding in the HTML-attachment, which results in the improper display in the browser. However, when I let my webmailer view the attachment, everything looks fine. I assume, the problem is related to mail encoding. I wonder how my webmailer was abled to fix that, but not fix the file I downloaded...

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:

How apex generate LOV values for Interactive report

Scott,
For interactive report, does APEX full table/index scan to generate the LOV drop down list every time user click the column header? If I set max row count to 100, does LOV values only derived from the first 100 rows that apex hits?
If I enter SQL query in "list of value definition", will that sql get executed every time users click the column header or the result is cached?
For standard and interactive report, does APEX parse (soft/hard) the sql statement again when user do pagination?

When you run the program, the system displays the following basic list with a the page header defined in the program:
You can trigger the AT LINE-SELECTION event by double-clicking a line. The system sets the status TEST and deactivates the function code PICK. The status TEST contains function codes FC1 to FC5. These are assigned to pushbuttons in the application toolbar. The page header of the detail list depends on the status.
Here, double-clicking a line no longer triggers an event. However, there is now an application toolbar containing five user-defined pushbuttons. You can use these to trigger the AT USER-COMMAND event. The CASE statement contains a different reaction for each pushbutton.
For each interactive event, the system decreases the SY-LSIND system field by one, thus canceling out the automatic increase. All detail lists now have the same level as the basic list and thus overwrite it. While the detail list is being created, SY-LSIND still has the value 1.

Activation of Infotype for Interactive reporting

I know that from SAP CRM 7.0 EHP 1.0 sap provides support for interactive report on Service requests. My question
- Is there any standard interactive report on service request provided by SAP CRM? I checked in ORDYWB(Interactive workbench), I did not see any report for Service report. Kindly confirm is that is the case.
Now I believe if I activate report area (Infotype) Service request in the workbench then I can create by own interactive reports for service requests. How do I activate the report area Service request- When i select and activate it - I get the message - " Info type Service request switched of"

Hi!
I hope this comes not too late, or maybe it will help others: In order to activate report area Service Requests, you have to enable business function SAP BusinessObjects Integration and CRM Interactive Reporting (CRM_ANA_BOB).
SAP does not deliver any pre-defined reports for the new report areas that are enabled by this business function. You may, however, create your own reports, just as you were able to do with the previously delivered report areas.
Best regards

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regards

Hi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

Using XSL-FO for Interactive Report PDF printout

I am using XSL-FO, Apache FOP and use FO Designer to produce a PDF from SQL Based Report (not IR). This is working fine.
How can use the same concept for Interactive Report. I can not see how to make IR to use XSL-FO and Apache FOP.
It looks that IR is only working for BI Publisher. Am I right?

Interactive Reports currently only support the built-in default XSL-FO layout, i.e. there are only limited customization options available. Report Queries (see Shared Components) and Classic Reports can either use the default XSL-FO Layout, or can be associated with RTF or XSL-FO based templates. We plan to extend printing support for Interactive Reports in a future version of Oracle Application Express to provide similar features as is currently available for Report Queries and Classic Reports.

Marc

APEX Print Attributes for Interactive Reports versus Reports

The Print Attirbutes tab for Interactive Reports does not have the Enable Report Printing option that the same tab does for Reports. The Enable Reports option when set to Yes" puts a print link on the Reports page. Since, the option doesn't appear for under the Print Attributes tab for Interactive Reports, how can I get a print link appear on an Interactive Report page?

Hi,
Those links are visible to end user in action menu -> Download

CSS default for Interactive Reports

Hi,
I wanted to modify some default attributes for interactive reports. I found this : Re: Interactive Report
I tried to put this information in my modified CSS file attached to our default template, but it doesn't seem to work.
I put this in my CSS file : .apexir_REPORT_TABS span.current {background:#7b9cbd none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
margin-bottom:0;}
but the background color isn't 7b9cbd.
Is there a way to make it work in a CSS file ?
Thanks.
My fault, I had to put #apexir... instead of .apexir
Edited by: gfrancoeur on Jun 2, 2009 10:55 AM

I found the information on this.
It sounds like IR reports use a general CSS file (e.g. apex_4_1.css) and it's better to modify the page template than to modify that file...
I did that and it worked.

How to send a conditional email with interactive report subscription

Hi,
i have an interactive report with subscription.
I would like to send an email with the attachment only when the query returns one or more records.
How to to this?
Apex 4.0.2
Thanks in advance
lukx

Well, to understand your requirements can I ask this:
You said earlier you want a report sent whenever records that meet a criteria exist, correct? So you want the application to query for a condition, and when that condition occurs (a row with primary Key = X, a select COUNT(1) for rows with column X returns a result of 1 or more)
Then you would schedule a batch job:
BEGIN
-- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'Send_Email_Procedure',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'BEGIN Test_For_COND_SEND(); END;',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
end_date => NULL,
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
This would in theory run hourly and run your test_for_cond_Send process, in which you would test for the condition and send an e-mail if it was found that would contain the results from your query/report.
Here is a link to generate a PDF report that could be sent via e-mail: Re: how to save pdf in APEX 3.0
Thank you,

Subscription emails for news

Hi All,
I have a small problem with the subscription functionality that I can't resolve on my own.
When I create a subscription for the folder in which my news are located in, the subscription emails never get to be sent off. When I create a subscription on any other folder the subscription emails works as they should. Is there something that I'm missing here? Is there something extra that has to be considered when subscribing to news in the portal?
All suggestion are welcome.
All other email functionality, like send to and notifactions, works without any problems in the portal. I'm using a netweaver portal.
Regards,
/Lennart

Hi Lennart
Subscription of the news is same as any other subscriptions. There is no additional configuration for this. Check for the permissions and service permissions set properly.

Tabular form validation(Checkbox) is not working for Interactive report

Hi,
I am using the oracle apex 4.0 and oracle 11g.
I have written a below select query on interactive report as
select
apex_item.checkbox(1,RESIDD)||apex_item.hidden(2,RESIDD) row_selector,
apex_item.text(3,RESNUM) as resnum
from "PDRRES"
and written the validation to display the error message( Function returning error text ) as
DECLARE
vRow BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- apex_application.g_print_success_message := NULL;
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
vRow := apex_application.g_f01(i);
apex_application.g_print_success_message := apex_application.g_f01(i)||'-'|| apex_application.g_f03(vRow) ;
END LOOP;
END;
Output : No data found error message
As far as it work for sql report with above logic because apex built in row selector
but it fails in case of interactive report for some reason.
Please suggest.

Please suggest.NO DATA FOUND usually occurs when an i mplicit select does not find anything. It can also occur when referencing a collection element that has not been defined.
You have 2 collectinons in the code you posted, apex_application.g_f01() and apex_applciation.g_f03. Since you are looping therough the COUNT attribute of g_f01 its reference ("I") is probably okay and the value store in vRow is probably not right. You can check this by using RAISE_APPLICTION_ERROR to see the value something like
raise_application_error(-20000,'vRow="'||vRo2||'"');Remember that working with checkboxes is tricky. If the box is not checked nothing will be sent. You may need to define a default value when no value is submitted.

Apex 5.0, Horizontal scrollbar for Interactive Report and Pivot Format

Oracle roadmap for Interactive Reporting

Hello Gurus,
       This is just an opinion I need from you guys.
      Currently, there is System 9.3.1 in which only Interactive Reporting is in use. Now, client has decided to migrate from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2.
      I was just going through Oracle roadmap for IR. I am just confused about future of IR. It seems Oracle is not much enhancing IR in EPM product suite.   Rather they are improving IR through OBIEE.
     This is a case where client is using only IR from Hyperion product suite & want to migrate the same.
     What is better path?
     Hyperion 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 or Hyperion 931 to OBIEE ?
    If its better from 931 to OBIEE, what are high level steps? Also how can we migrate Users, provisioning , reports to OBIEE?
     Please correct me if I am going wrong here.
Thanks.

It comes down to an issue of maintaining compatibility with current software versus having a product that actually works.
I upgraded from 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.1 (On MS Windows Server 2008 R2/SQL Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 64-bit). Here are the changes:
IR will now export to a version of Excel that's 10 years old (.xlsx) rather than 20 years old (.xls from Excel 2).
Service management is done through the web and is at a finer grain. This really simplifies service management. The small services restart very quickly so I am comfortable restarting one at lunch rather than waiting for a maintenance window.
Names of functions have been made more obvious and meaningful (for example, you can now open a job instead of retrieving it). This is a plus and a minus. If you have been using the system for a while you'll initially have trouble finding things.
The new version is incapable of handling non-trivial queries developed in the UI. Several documents developed in 9.3.1 and 9.3.3 using derivable queries and append queries work fine. The inevitable minor changes required as business adapts to the world, however, are not possible. For queries of any complexity, IR sends the aliases (like the names of the queries seen in the section list) to the SQL Server. Of course, SQL Server can't find objects with those names so the queries fail. My solution is to use stored procedures. At that point, I can migrate to any other (non-Oracle) product, so I'm actually happy they've pushed me in that direction.
For large local results queries, the system will run out of memory if the query is run with UAC turned on and logged on as a non-admin user. Oracle says this is because the new version has more features and, therefore, uses more RAM. Oddly enough, the queries run fine when run as an admin with UAC turned off because they don't use as much RAM. It looks more like a compatibility problem than more features. Again, my solution was to push the work to SQL Server by developing stored procedures.
I was testing 11.1.2.2 while planning an upgrade and found:
There are more new bugs than the bugs that are fixed.
No IE10 compatibility (documented). Since we're skipping IE9 and moving straight to IE10, my main reason for upgrading (IE9) is gone. IE10 compatibility should be in 11.1.2.3 near Christmas 2013.
Recommendation: TEST EXTENSIVELY. Paint a clear picture for management showing that newer isn't necessarily better.
