Clarifications about Query Builder and Additional Default Layout in Reports 6i

1) Is Query Builder re-entrant in Reports 6i? If yes, what is the method. As when I tried to re-eter, it gave me message '..... Syntax Error'.
2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group field to be
included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'.
What is wrong?
Pl. guide.

2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group
field to be included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows
but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in >the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'. Not sure I fully understand the question but you seem to be saying that if you select a field in the ADL tool, it doesn't show up in the layout. This can only happen if you select a field in the "Fields" tab from a group you haven't selected in the "Groups" tab.
Ideally Reports shouldn't show these fields since you haven't selected the groups. Unfortunately it does and you need to ensure all the appropriate groups have been selected in the "Groups" tab.
At least it will tell you if you have selected a group but haven't selected any fields for the group or if you haven't selected enough groups for the type of layout you're trying to create.

Query Builder and 8i

Is it possible to use Query Builder with 8i?
I installed it but was unable to connect to the starter database installed with 8i.
I installed the Query Builder(and Project Builder) into a different directory from the 8i install.
When QB starts, it asks for the name, PW, and connection. I enter the N and PW and the instance of the 8i DB but it comes back with a transport error.
1. Is Q Builder compatible with 8i?
2. Is there a document describing how to set them up to work together?
Thank you very much,

Query Builder and Expanded Form in Search

I've changed the labels of some metadata fields like content type. In the expanded form it shows OK, but in the query builder drop down it's still content type. How can I change it?
tnx in advance

Hi, where did you make the change of label?
I use rules, so the way I do it (and it shows for both query builder and extended search) is by putting the value in the "use custom label" when I edit my rule.

How to display first row value returened from a query as checked as default in a report

How to display first row value returned from a query as checked as default in a report
Example
Parameter 1
Paramerter2
ABD

Test

Mudassar

Hi Mudassar,
The issue is caused by the order in which the parameters appear in the report data tab can be difference between our report execution and it failing. In other words, “Parameter2” is execution before parameter “A” due to this issue. We can adjust the parameter’s
order to solve the issue.
If “Parameter2” is parameter “A”, we cannot use that expression. Because fields cannot be used in report parameter expression, if we want to display the first value returned from a query as default value, we have to fill the “Specify values” text box with
the specific value in Default Values dialog box.

Query builder and multiple linked tables...

Hi all,
I have a database with a large table (50+ fields) and lots of tables (at
least 10 tables) linked to the bigger one.
I can link 7 or 8 tables using Query builder but after that, it gets slow
and slower.
I can't link other tables since it appear to hang.
How can I solve this?
Here is a sample of the large table (articles):
- id_art
- code_art
- material_id_art (fk)
- color_id_art (fk)
- finishing_id_art /fk)
- and so on... with other fields set as foreign keys.
The color table is:
- id_col
- colid_col
- name_col
- language_col
The table view is:
id_col colid_col name_col language_col
1 1 rosso it
2 1 red uk
3 1 rojo es
The other tables follow the same color table specification.
I would like to obtain all articles with color_id_art field equal to the
color.colid_col field AND color.language_col equal to a session variable
(language). This session variable contains 'it', 'uk', or 'es', depending
on user selection on other pages.
I can use query builder to do something similar with few tables but when
the linked tables are 10 or more the query builder began to slow down too
much and is totally unusable.
Is there a way to create such a query manually?
I'm not a SQl programmer so, I have not all the knowledge to do this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or point me to some tutorial
about such a problem?
I thank you in advance.
tony

Ciao Tony,
Well, the main table is 4000+ records
I´ve heard of other users having similar issues with this (or more) amount of data, what´s not surprising, because every time you´re making a change to your query, the Query Builder tries to refresh the browser
I think that the problem is related to too much inner joins and too many WHERE clauses with AND condition
maybe this might add to the problem, but I´m pretty convinced that the major bottleneck is the substantial amount of records your main table has.
Günter, can I ask you how would you manage a multilingual product catalog where the main table (products) has lots of linked details tables (color, finishing, structure...) to be translated on a number of languages?
this is indeed a little tricky by nature, however I think that storing e.g. all the international color names in a table is too complicated, when you could simply...
a) check the currently running language session variable
b) define a PHP if/else condition which will "virtually" translate the stored "id_col" values, example:
if ($_session['language'] == "uk") {
$pattern = array("1", "2", "3", "4");
$replace = array("red", "blue", "black"', "green");
$colors = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $row_queryname['columnname']);
else {
$pattern = array("1", "2", "3", "4");
$replace = array("rosso", "blu", "nero"', "verde");
$colors = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $row_queryname['columnname']);
3. later in your page "echo" the alias variable $colors, which should return different results depending on the currently active language session variable

Enhancement Request - Query Builder and Synonyms

My APEX instance is not the same one as some of the data we need to access. Is it possible to allow the query builder to see Synonyms as well as tables and views?

I'd echo that, though it'd be even better if it only showed synonyms for tables and views...but then you have to answer the question of how far down the rabbit hole you want to go (what about synonyms of synonyms of tables, etc.?)
For now, at least, you can always create a view, rather than a synonym.

QueryString issues with Query Builder and Search Box

Hi Guys,
I've got the following scenario (Issues are bolded for quicker reading):
I have a search results pages named results.aspx
I have a page, named messages.aspx, with a webpart that display messages from a specific folder (which can be changed in the webpart properties). On that page, there's a search box which will lead to results.aspx, and will do search only on the specific
folder.
On the other hand, when I'm using Content Search Web Part, I can use the query builder to do the following:
ParentLink:{QueryString.folder}
So all I have left to do is to send the folder as a query string parameter from messages.aspx to results.aspx.
(1) The search box doesn't support sending other QueryString parameters,
which is also known to happen in previous SP versions, so I fixed the onclick events and voila, the folder parameter is transferred to results.aspx.
But something weird happens in results.aspx:
When I'm first redirected from messagses.aspx to results.aspx I get the follwing URL:
/Pages/results.aspx?k=Washington&folder=Home - I've got results
When another query is issued from the search box of results.aspx I'm getting the folliwing URL:
/Pages/results.aspx?k=Washington&folder=Home#k=Indiana - I've got NO results.
Same with paging:
/Pages/results.aspx?k=Washington&folder=Home#s=11
(2) When a QueryString parameter is present in the results.aspx page, and than another query (different keywords, paging or anything) is issued using AJAX and hashtags - no results are returned.
My guess is a client side issue: When the a new query is issued, adding a hashtag (#) to the URL, it ignores the QueryString parameter currently present in the URL, and thus the server doesn't recieve it in the query packet/http post xml, which creates a
valid query with no results, in my case: ParentLink:"", which I manually checked and does yield no results.
I've also tried the following with no help:
/Pages/results.aspx#k=Washington#folder=Home - no results. my guess is that folder is now not a QueryString
/Pages/results.aspx?folder=Home#k=Washington - No results.
/Pages/results.aspx#k=Washington&folder=Home - The query text issued was "Washington&folder=Home" - no results of course.
Any ideas any one?
Amir

Hi Amir,
after some months I found a workaround that solves this issue: just add & after your query string value, it will separate your parameter value from other strings that may be added by sharepoint controls.
ie:
if your page is http://spsite/page.aspx?param=value
just call it like this http://spsite/page.aspx?param=value&
It works!
Ciao

Query Builder and SQL-Developer

Hello everyone,
My proposal is to customize SQL-Developer (via Tools > Preferences ...) so that the end user can use it without danger for the data.
Example: the end user can only create reports, without possibility of drop, update, delete, etc.
The paragraph “Query Builder” of the article “ [Building Queries Visually|http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-mar/o28sql.html] ” (Oramag march/april 2008, page 59) inspired this question.
Please, vote for this proposal!
Thank you
Jean-Louis

I overlayed the pre-release versionsDo you mean you installed in the same directory?
Don't do that.
There's a system directory (sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\system) which holds settings and everything, which very well might be corrupted to be used for a newer release.
Try deleting it, it will be regenerated at next startup. Or even better: re-install in another directory all together...

Set Default Layout in Reports in a Single Screen

Hi,
We have a report, with one screen. But is is divided into 2 parts. The upper report is showing different data compared to the data shown in the lower report.
We have used OO to display the output. However, when choosing the default layout for each of the section, since it is contained in a single screen, it will only retrieve one default layout for both report. Is it possible to set a default layout, each for the two sections of the report?
Thanks,
Louisse

Hi
If you're using ALV OO, you can manage several variants in the same report, that means a specific variant for every grid.
It needs to set a different value (for every grid) in the field IS_VARIANT-HANDLE (IS_VARIANT is a parameter of method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY, structurated like DISVARIANT).
data: lt_varuant1 type disvariant.
data: lt_varuant2 type disvariant.
lt_varuant1-report   = sy-repid.
lt_varuant1-username = sy-uname.
lt_varuant1-handle   = 'ALV1'.
CALL METHOD grid_1->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      IS_VARIANT = lt_variant1
lt_varuant2-report   = sy-repid.
lt_varuant2-username = sy-uname.
lt_varuant2-handle   = 'ALV2'.
CALL METHOD grid_2->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      IS_VARIANT = lt_variant2

User saves query view (web) with changed layout and opens default layout...

Hi Guru's,
We are implementing the new (7.0) web template and the portal. One of my users is experiencing the following:
He runs a webquery, changes the layout in the desired format and does a save as in both My Portfolio/Bex Portfolio.
When he opens this "changed" view (both My Portfolio, Bex Portfolio) the default format/layout is openened.
When i open the view he created in Bex Portfolio i do see the changed format/layout ...
We put an authorization trace on his uid -> no result. Went through the loggings both on ABAP as well as Java stack -> no result.
Has anyone an idea what is happening.
Regards,
René

Second attempt.
Has anyone a clue or experienced the same?
I am not able to reproduce the issue with a copy user with same authorisation.
The issue also appears if more (mine) authorisation is granted to the user. I am not experiencing this issue

Hi,
You can obtain these fields from MMBE. or you can run a Querry in SQ01/SQ02 to pull records from SAP infostructures.

Modifying additional Layout destroys teh original default layout-Why?

Reports 6i in c/s.
I create a layout, customize it and save it.
Then I crate an Additional Default Layout. OK so far.
Now I want to re-enter in Additional Default Layout and modify it slightly thru wizard.
It destroys my previous original default layout.
Is there any way to avoid it?
Pl. guide.
Tariq

Hi Tariq,
The "Additional Default Layout" wizard isn't re-entrant. It is for adding various layouts to the layout painter but not modify an existing layout.
In addition, the Reports Wizard removes any objects from the layout section that you are defaulting into. Therefore, if you have added an additional layout and then run the Reports Wizard it will overwrite the current layout in that section.
The Reports Wizard gives you a starting point from which to develop your report. If you want to go beyond the options available in the wizard, you will need to use the live pre-viewer and layout painter.

Results in Query Builder Differ From Report Results

I've got a report I built in SSRS using an SSAS dataset. The problem is that the results differ between the query builder result set and the actual report. For some reason, when running the actual report, certain rows are being filtered out, but yet those
same rows appear in the result set when validating the query in the query builder.
Here's the result set as it appears in query builder:
...and here are the results of the actual report:
As you can see, 3M and Angie's popcorn are not returned in the report. I have no filters defined on the report at all.
This appears to be happening with other result sets for the same report.
No idea why the results are accurate in query builder and then off in the actual report.
Any help would be appreciated!
A. M. Robinson

Hi A. M. Robinson,
The issue may be caused by the data cache. When we preview a report, the report processor runs all the queries for datasets in the report using the current parameter defaults, and saves the results as a local data cache (.rdl.data) file. We can continue
to design our report without incurring the overhead of retrieving this data again if we make no changes to either the report dataset queries or the report parameters. Please to delete the cache (.rdl.data) file try to solve the issue.
Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157366.aspx
Alternative, you can create a similar report to check if the issue is persist.
If the issue is persist, could you please post more detail information about your report design? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Configure "Query Builder" for Theta-Style Joins over ANSI-Style Joins

Can SQL Developer be configured to auto generate theta-style joins instead of ANSI-style joins when building queries? This happens when I generate a query using the Query Builder and then switch over to the Worksheet tab to see the SQL code.
Sample code:
Theta-style join syntax uses commas to separate multiple table names and creates the joins in the Where clause:
SELECT c.name
FROM instructors i, courses c
WHERE i.firstname = 'Mary' AND i.lastname = 'Williams'
AND i.course_id = c.course_id;
ANSI syntax uses the JOIN and ON keywords instead:
SELECT c.name
FROM instructors i JOIN courses c
ON i.course_id = c.course_id
WHERE i.firstname = 'Mary' AND i.lastname = 'Williams';

Hi Wes,
There is no preference for configuring this that I know of, but Query Builder is fairly clever about detecting your flavor of SQL from the worksheet then sticking with it. If you design it graphically, the default flavor is ANSI, but QB seems to respect any worksheet edits that switch it to another flavor. I wouldn't vouch for that absolutely, but perhaps it's behavior you can take advantage of.
