Check Interactive report filter with APEX item :P101_USERNAME

Hi,
is there a way to create a filter with IR which is based on the :P101_USERNAME item?
I use this variable with the windows user name and want to show only rows where the current user works with.
Thanks ahead,
Tobias

Hi John,
my plan was to reference the filter on the user level.
Parts of selection for the IR:
SELECT r.r_id,
c.c_name,
r.r_note,
UPPER(r.win_account)
FROM requests r, classes c
WHERE r.r_c_id = c.c_id
Info:
WIN_ACCOUNT looks like: ARNHOLD_TOBIAS
:P101_USERNAME looks like: ARNHOLD_TOBIAS
The goal is that a user in the standard view sees only his rows/calls and if he want to see the rows/calls from the colleagues too. He/She would only need to take off the filter for the USERNAME.
I could use my own items with an extra region too but I thought that there was an easier way then that.

Interactive Report filtering with hidden item column names

I have created an Interactive Report and changed some of the default column headings by using hidden Items with appropriate title. However, when I look at the filter option in the "Gear" drop-down, the only column names which appear are the default ones. There are blank lines for the columns using hidden Items. Any suggestions for having the hidden item content appear in the filter column name list?
Thanks,
George

George,
What is it you're actually trying to do here? Maybe there's an easier way?
Hidden items aren't going to show up in the Column List.
I'm guessing you're trying to separate a long list of column names using '----------' or something like that? We're looking to do just that in our application, but obviously we don't want to users selecting these dummy entries. We tried using the IR column groups, but those make the list look even more cluttered IMHO. (Plus setting the sort order w/in the groups doesn't seem to affect the drop-down column lists, which seems counter-intuitive to me).
If anyone has other suggestions for breaking up the column list display, I could use something immediately (going into beta-test in 2 weeks!).
Thanks,
Stew

Fill Interactive report Filter function with the last month

Version: APEX 4.1

Is it possible to have a button when click would filter the last month of whatever the current date is. (Without making a 2nd interactive report)

Hi,
I went quickly over this:
http://anthonyrayner.blogspot.com/2008/07/dynamic-date-filtering-in-interactive.html
This should help. it shows you how to prepare the URL of the wanted report. and you can choose button action Redirect to URL.
There is more ... give me one minute :)
Ok.. This is what you need:

VERY STRANGE Interactive Report Filter Error

I have a very interesting problem happening with an interactive report in my APEX application. The report runs just fine and has been in use for about 6 months. Just recently, the users have begun to run into problems when using the filter capability within the report. There is a specific column heading (RH Analyst) that they typically click on and select a specific analyst name (the list contains 10 entries). Most selections from the filter list work fine. However, when one specific name is chosen, they get the dreaded ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small+* error.
I have been working to narrow the problem down and have found the following:
1. The filter error is related to the content of one specific column (not the one I am filtering on)
2. The column that is causing the error is a CLOB datatype
3. The data in the CLOB column was inserted into the database from a form utilizing an "HTML Editor Standard" type of item
4. The data in the CLOB column was copied and pasted from an email that was being viewed using Outlook 2007
5. If I try to recreate the problem with exactly the same information, but copied and pasted from Outlook 2003, I don't experience the problem.
6. The only people experiencing this problem are people who have upgraded their system from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007
7. When I try to load the form with the data that was stored in the database, I get a 404 page not found error. This is the same error that I get if more than 32k of data was saved into the CLOB.
The data pasted into the HTML editor from Outlook 2007 (_this is the data that causes problems_) and saved to the CLOB looks like this when I extract it in SQL Developer

Roel,
Hey there! Hope you enjoyed your time off ;) Thanks for having a look...
Yes, of course I "could" update the functions, but this is NOT something I want to do. I'm one of those people that subscribes to Coding by Contract and the assertion routines at the beginning and end of my subprograms are an important part of that.
This may be a lack of understanding on my part with regards to the order in which Oracle does it's thing - or a bug in Apex... I'm able to duplicate the problem on apex.oracle.com: dmcghan/test/test.
Log into the demo app with admin/dmcghan. The home page has an interactive report, filter the name and you should get the error. When you look at the query you'll see a filter in the where clause that goes against the apex_collections table. This is populated from the post-authentication procedure. Let me know if you have questions.

Interactive Report Filter Problem

Hello,
I ran into a problem with an interactive report today. When the report first loads, no issue. If a filter is added, an error is returned. The error is actually generated by an assertion routine that raises and exception if a NULL value was passed in. Here's a modified/simplified version of the query:
SELECT id,
   name,
   dept,
   emp.year_of_emp(hire_date) AS years_of_employment
FROM emp_table
WHERE id IN (
   SELECT c001
   FROM apex_collections
   WHERE collection_name = 'EMPS_UNDER_MANAGER'
);Again, when the report first loads, no problem. Then when the manager applies, say a filter on dept, an error is raised from the emp.year_of_emp function because a NULL value was passed in.
I know that all emps with an emp id in the collection have a hire_date so I don't feel as though I should have to add another condition in the where clause to filter those out (although that is the work around at this point). Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Interactive Reports filter ignoring case

Is there a way to have the built-in interactive report filter ignore case? I am currently passing the 'LIKE' filter to my interactive report to search for employee names. I want it to ignore the case so 'SMITH' would be the same as 'Smith' when doing search.
ie. upper(:P1_NAME) like upper(EMP.NAME)

But I'm not capturing the time. The default format is DD-MON-RR.
This is crazy, I have used other Adhoc tools that didn't treat dates that way.
Seeing as the operators change depending on the data type selected by the user, the option must be controlled in the application. Oracle is excluding it for some reason, but they really need to let the administrator control that.
This is in Interactive Reports. The users don't want to have to format the dates, or anything else. They just want to filter the data to a certain date and the = sign should be allowed. If they are capturing time, then the administrator can truncate the date and make it available via another field/column.

Using Windows 7 and LR 5 when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showi

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

Variable or Substitution String in Interactive Report Filter

Background: I have an application that has a number of customized Interactive Reports where the Filter on the reports is set to a custom company name. When I install the application, I do not want to go through the reports and change the filter for the new company's name. The filters I need to change are all set by LOVs.
Question: Is there a way that I can do one of the following:
- associate a Filter with a Variable or Substitution String such that I can set that variable or string on login and then the user always sees the correct Filter displayed in the Interactive Report?
- or is there a code method to update a sql apex table behind the scenes to reset the Filter to the new value. So that I could run that after installation as part of a customization / set-up time?
System Info: 4.1.0.00.32
Thanks,
Stephen
I used the IR_FILTER function, and while it allowed for a new filter to be set. It did not save the filter after logout or for other users accessing the Primary report. I could not find a SAVE Interactive Report function. So, my question still stands on looking for a method to set and save Filters programatically.
Edited by: slsmith on Apr 19, 2012 8:07 PM

Hi,
I don't have access to an Apex 3 environment to check this, but I think that the Apex 4 Interactive Reports save the filters slightly differently and an attempt to mimic that functionality using IR conditions would fail.
The only alternative I can think of right now is to have an additional column that returns 0 or 1 - eg:
SELECT FIELD1,
FIELD2,
FIELD3,
CASE WHEN (FIELD1 IS NULL OR FIELD2 IS NULL OR FIELD3 IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END INCLUDE_NULLS
FROM YOURTABLEand then apply a filter to INCLUDE_NULLS = 1

Can Actions Menu of Interactive Reports work with Custom Authentication?

My testing is leading my to believe that Actions Menu do not work with Custom Authentication (but only work with APEX Authentication) in APEX 3.1.2? If that's true then is there a work around to this?
Just to clarify, I've posted/asked this question twice before:
1) Re: Actions Menu in Interactive Reports does not sort, filter, select cols etc
2) Interactive Report actions don't work for users (i.e. for non-developers)
But I've come to believe this is the main problem. I just don't know how to resolve/work around this?
Thanks for any help.

I haven't setup a sample because my custom authentication is using LDAP authentication. I'm not sure how I can replicate that on the samples server?
I'm using LDAP authentication with a Page Sentry function. My further testing reveals that the Page Sentry function is setting the APEX variable user to NULL (ie blank) whenever there's any code in the Page Sentry function box. PL/SQL code as simple as
BEGIN return TRUE; END;
in the Page Sentry function box sets the "user" is set to <null>. When the Page sentry function box is left empty (no code specified) it sets the "user" properly after authentication against the specified LDAP directory.
What all this has to do with Interactive Reports...
It seems like when the user is NULL it messes-up Interactive Reports that are stored in the flows database. Although it shows the default report properly, but no runtime interactive actions (filtering, sorting, column break, etc.) work.
Can someone please correct or confirm this?
Thanks.

Htmldb_application array reset based on interactive report filter

Hello
I was searching various forums on this topic and did not find usefull answer. I must be doing something wrong or just do not understand how come that others do not have this problem?? Anyway, here it is.
I have interactive report where first column is checkbox. Using submit process , I perfrom inserts/ deletes in database based on checbox array (htmldb_application). Everything works well untill I do not use filter on one of the columns. Such action results in resizing the report ( so number of rows is re-ordered / changed ). I want to run the same submit process on resized list, but it is not possible, because the array points to different/non-existing rows. I would expect that the array gets "reseted" accrording to the new result list, but it does not??
Example:
I load the page with the report, where I have 10 records. Two of them, row 5 and 7, have in column X value '1'. If I leave the report as is, check checkbox on any line and run submit process, action is succesfull.
Now I change the filter and I will display only rows where column X=1. Report now have 2 rows. I check checkbox on the first one, submit the process, but the arrays refers to row 5 ( the old resultset), which is not present in the report now ??
Can I somehow achieve arrays reset based on the interacitve report filter applied? Or any other solution?
Thanks in advance

 from REF_CUSTOMER_UNIQ big ) r ) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)As you can see, the 'rownum' is gotten in the inner query. I suspect that when you apply a filter, the filter is applied to the outer query. Hence, the rownums will not be as you expect them to be. Instead of using the 'rownum' as the values for checkbox 1 and checkbox 2, I suggest you use a concatenation of
inst_id and customer_cd. In the after submit process you can then just loop through the f01 and f02 arrays , split the concatenated values back into their inst_id and customer_cd components and perform the Insert or Delete.

Interactive Report Filter Expression

I am a (new) user not a developer.
The Apex developer has presented me with a web page containing an Interactive Report interface.
I seem to be managing just fine, for the most part, except to make a filter with multiple OR statements.
I can easily make multiple AND statements.
Is there some trick or special way to write the filter statement (OR is this just not possible with Interactive Report - excuse the pun)
Please help, the developer is stumped!

I don't think it's possible (someone can correct me if I am wrong) in 3.2.x, but certainly possible in version 4.
Taken from the Interactive Report help page:
FilterFocuses the report by adding or modifying the WHERE clause on the query. You can filter on a column or by row.
If you filter by column, select a column (it does not need to be one that displays), select a standard Oracle operator (=, !=, not in, between), and enter an expression to compare against. Expressions are case sensitive. Use % as a wild card (for example, STATE_NAME like A%).
If you filter by row, you can create complex WHERE clauses using column aliases and any Oracle functions or operators (for example, G = 'VA' or G = 'CT', where G is the alias for CUSTOMER_STATE).>

Capturing Interactive Report Filter Fields

I've a requirement where in a user can view data, apply filters to it, and then invoke an Oracle API by passing in the data set currently visible on the report.
If I can some how capture currently applied filters on an Interactive report, I should be able to recreate the same data on the server side before calling the Oracle API.
Is there a way to capture these Filter field out of the Interactive report?
Thanks,
Shikhar

Thanks again Jari.
I compiled Stew's package and setup a call like this:
DECLARE
   v_variable   VARCHAR2 (5000);
BEGIN
       v_variable := apex_ir_query.IR_QUERY_WHERE (app_id_in => 125,
                                    page_id_in => 2,
                                    session_id_in => 1058992121588043,
                                    base_report_id_in => 6902307847490674);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Query: ' || v_variable);
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Exception :' || SQLERRM);
END;But this didn't return anything. Did some digging and ran the SQL below:
   SELECT * FROM apex_application_page_ir_cond cond where application_id = 125Which revealed interactive report id values different from the ones returned by $v('apexir_REPORT_ID'); $v('apexir_REPORT_ID') returns 6902307847490674 but in the table its 7.76121620735057E15 (My Apex version is 3.2).
I'm not going to pursue it further, as I've decided to implement custom filtering functionality using ape_util.ir_query package. Thanks for your valuable help with this issue. Closing the question.

Interactive Report Performance With Conditional Link

Apex 3.2
I have a interactive report.
The underlying sql would return 127000 rows
The sql is
select
lde.ods_system,
lde.ldekey,
msg.sendersystem,
msg.messagetype,
msg.messageversion,
msg.msgseqnumber,
msg.alternatekey,
msg.crudmarker,
msg.clrbookdate,
msg.clrbookresult,
lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) button,
lde.ldekey||'.'||msg.alternatekey||'.'||msg.msgseqnumber udm_key
from
clr_esbmessageheader msg,
clr_adm_systemmessage adm,
udm_lde lde
where
adm.ldeid = lde.ldeid and
msg.sendersystem = adm.system and
msg.messagetype = adm.messagetype and
msg.messageversion = adm.messageversion and
msg.receiversystem = 'SCIPS'
order by msg.clrbookdate desc
This report only takes 1 second to display.
I need to add a conditional link to another page, so I used
case
when lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) = 'udf_distreceipt' then
'<a class="type" href="' || apex_util.prepare_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':52:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||':RIR'||':IR_MSG_KEY,P52_PG:'|| lde.ldekey||'.'|| msg.alternatekey ||'.'|| msg.msgseqnumber ||','|| 50, null, 'SESSION') || '"title="Go to udf_distreceipt Report">udf_distreceipt</a>'
else 'no link' end table_link
The sql seems to be ok, because the report accepted it, but selecting the new column and saving the report takes forever (over 2 mins)
Now the report takes over 2 minutes to run and I still need to add more conditions.
Have I coded the link incorrectly ?
Gus

Hi Gus,
Are you wanting to put the link in the query for a specific reason?
I had to do a similar thing in the past and just completed the column link section for the column.
Why not just have the following in the query:
case
when lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) = 'udf_distreceipt' then
udf_distreceipt
else null END table_link
Then do the linking using column link section:
You would specify your link text as #TABLE_LINK# which should then be conditionally displayed due to the case statement, then add in all the page item and values to pass across using a normal link column.
Thanks

Interactive Report - aggregate with hide - bug or feature?

We are in the process of converting existing reports to Interactive Reports (IR), and adding a bunch of new ones. We ran into a roadblock when using IR with aggregates. To
reproduce, I created a test table with region, state, county, city and population columns. I created an interactive report, CONTROL BREAK on "Region", aggregate (SUM) on
population. The result looked like this.

Result #1:

Region: West
************
State County City Population
CA Orange County Irvine 100
CA Orange County Orange 200
CA Los Angeles Hollywood 300
CA Los Angeles Universal City 400
 Sum 1,000
When I clicked on City column, and chose to hide it, I expected the IR to resummarize the result to look like this:

Result #2:

Region: West
************
State County Population
CA Orange County 300
CA Los Angeles 700
 Sum 1,000
But what I saw was this:

Result #3:

Region: West
************
State County Population
CA Orange County 100
CA Orange County 200
CA Los Angeles 300
CA Los Angeles 400
 Sum 1,000
The data in the above result #3 is not presented the in way it should be for the users to comprehend.

In the non-interactive version, we display checkboxes for the users to show and hide the columns. If the column "City" is set by the user to "Hide", then we use the
condition on the column to hide the City column from the report, and use the query "SELECT ..., CASE WHEN :P10_SHOW_CITY = 'YES' THEN city ELSE NULL END As city, SUM
(population) FROM .. " to summarize the data. This displays results like the one shown in Result #2.

1. Shouldn't IR re-summarize the data to display results like I have shown in Result #2 when a column is hidden? We are able to achieve this with non-interactive version. Is this a
bug in IR?

2. Is there a way to get interactive report to display results like the way I have shown in Result #2?

3. Is there a way to retrieve the columns that are set to "HIDE" in IR so that we can modify our SQL to resummarize?

Script to reproduce:

Create table test_ir(
 region varchar2(50),
 state varchar2(50),
 county varchar2(50),
 City varchar2(50),
 population number(4))
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Orange County', 'Irvine', 100)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Orange County', 'Orange', 200)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Los Angeles', 'Hollywood', 300)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Los Angeles', 'Universal City', 400)
select region, state, county, city, population from test_ir 
Thanks.

Hi Ravi,
When you add a control break, we do not re-generate the query to do group by. We just do control breaks. In the current version of APEX, to achieve what you are trying to see, you need to create an Interactive report with group by clause. If you want to use a dynamic query, the solution I suggest will not work.
The good news is in APEX 4.0, we are working to include group by view to an Interactive Report. This will let you select group by columns and aggregate functions to get the Result #2 you are trying to get.
If you wish to see how this works, we will be able to show if you come to APEXposed 2008, October 29 - 30, at Chicago O'Hare Wyndham.

Interactive Report filter using "in"

I am using an interactive report, and I want to filter using the "in" criteria. The data I want to filter is a person's name, and it is a concatenation of the entire name, last name first. I have no problem doing this filter on just the first or last name, but the concatenated field has a comma in it, and that seems to be throwing the filter off.
What automatically populates when I click a name from the list is something like:
Abraham, Adam
I can see that it would probably be interpreting that as two different values. But even if I put single or double quotes around the name, it still does not work correctly.
An example available at:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=41923:1
Try doing an "in" filter on the "name" column.
Thanks,
David

David,
The comma is the operational separator for the 'IN' clause, so you are right, the filter sees each part of the name as a parameter. Just use something else as the separator (like a space) and you will be good to go.
