Classic report column sorting

Hello to APEX forum
My Apex version is 4.2.1,
database version is Oracle 10g XE on Windows 7 Pro
After upgrading from version 3.2 to 4.2.1 report column sorting doesn't work when "Enable Partial Page Refresh" is set to "Yes".
When "Enable Partial Page Refresh" is "No" sorting is OK.
Please, help
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
it looks like your json.js causes troubles. It extends every JavaScript "object" with two methods called toJSONString and parseJSON. I did a quick debugging and it looks like when we construct our AJAX request to do the sorting, the jQuery AJAX handling tries to serialize those two function because it thinks it's regular data and fails with a JavaScript error.
Looking at the original source of your library at https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js even the creators had some doubts using that version of the library
json.js: This file does everything that json2.js does. It also adds a toJSONString method and a parseJSON method to Object.prototype. Use of this file is not recommended.
Are you sure that you need the parseJSON and toJSONString methods? Maybe you are fine with json2.js as well.

Classic Report - Column Conditions Not taking Effect when Changing Pagination

Apex Version: 4.2.1.00.08
DB Version: 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0
Hi,
I have a classic report that has some columns that conditional hide/show depending upon the value of a page item. When the report is first displayed with the first pagination set(Rows 1-100), the columns display as they should.
When moving to the next pagination set(Rows 101-200), the columns no longer display as they should and it seems that the condition is not taking effect. Partial Page Refresh is set to 'Yes' for the report.
Any ideas on why this might be occurring?

tvanderl
Assuming you mean that columns are rendered while you expect them not to.
Are the conditions based on page items.
It could be that the session state of those items is different between when the page is first rendered and when de refresh due to the pagination is done.
See if adding the in the condition used page items to the page items to be submitted for the region helps.
Others wise see if you can replicate the issue on apex.oracle.com so we can see what you mean.

How to display special characters in APEX Classic Report column

Ref: Thread: How to display newline characters as new lines
Version: APEX 3.2
Hi,
I have created an classic SQL Report with one of the columns being a decode that gives a value 'Post'(the value should be highlighted in Red) on one condition and 'Pre' on another. I have followed the advice given in the page (URL provided above) , i.e. I have changed Strip HTML to 'No', changed Display as to 'Display as text (escape special characters, does not save state)'. I have also passed this value back to the same page to be stored in a page item each time a link (another column in report) in report is clicked. I have tried passing it as #DEADLINE# and \#DEADLINE#\. The issue I face is, instead of the value being highlighted in Red, it gets passed back as a string holding the value 'Post'. Is there any way I can get this to display as it should without the Strip HTML being changed to 'Yes'.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to display a page item that is derived from a report column based on a click on the URL link (*view >*>)
This page item (here, it is Manager_ID) should ideally be highlighted when a particular condition is satisfied (achieved using a DECODE in the report).
But it is not displayed like it should be.
I do not want the value to be displayed along with the html tags as a string.
I want the html tags to take effect and highlight the value within it.
Initially, I had set Strip HTML to Yes and the value was returned without any highlighting .
So I changed it to 'No' and and it contained the html tags.
I am not sure what setting in APEX Report Attributes can help me achieve that effect I want.None of the report settings are relevant. They affect the rendering of the report and none of the columns you were changing the properties of were actually rendered.
You can't pass HTML and CSS around in URL parameters.
I suggest you pass *2* values in the column link: the MGR ID and a simple class or colour value computed by the DECODE in the report. I've suppressed the first version of the report and created a new one that does this:
decode(dept.deptno, '30', 'c00', '000') highlight The link column now passes the MGR ID and the HIGHLIGHT colour (red when the condition is satisfied and black when it is not).
I created another hidden and protected page item <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> as the target for the highlight value, and used the Pre/Post Element Text properties of the <tt>P0_G_MGR</tt> to wrap it in a <tt>span</tt> whose colour is changed using the <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> value as a subtitution string:
<span style="color: #&P0_HIGHLIGHT.;">Having done that, I still don't really get the requirement here. I'm sure that given the full picture I'd be using a completely different approach...

Can we pass values when hyperlinking a classic report column?

Version 4.2.1 (builder blue)
Hi there,
I have a classic report in which I have hyperlinked a column, using the standard link option in the report settings. In that we can also pass on values to to page that the linked report opens. However, I notice when I pop up the window for the value to be passed, it only lists the #XY# contents of the report. Lets say, I have created the link on page1 which when clicked opens Page 2,
I want to pass the value of :P1_PERIOD to :P2_PERIOD
Can we not do that through the link? If I just put the value in Item1 as P2_PERIOD and populate it with :P1_PERIOD, wouldn't that work?
Thanks,
Ryan

If I just put the value in Item1 as P2_PERIOD and populate it with :P1_PERIOD, wouldn't that work?No, <tt>:P1_PERIOD</tt> is referencing the item using bind variable notation. That's only for use in SQL and PL/SQL contexts within APEX. Elsewhere in APEX (HTML source, links and branches etc) you need to reference item values using static text substitution:
&P1_PERIOD.(Note the terminating dot.)
Put <tt>P2_PERIOD</tt> in Item 1 Name and <tt>&P1_PERIOD.</tt> in Value.

Report column sort not working

Hello,
Apex 4.1
I have a master-detail report and form. I have ticked the "Sort" box in the Report Attibutes to sort by one of the fields, a text field. However, when I click on the column heading to sort the report it sorts by the primary key id column instead.
Is there something else that needs to be done to enable a sort on a column?
Kind regards,
Simon

Hi,

Report Column Sorting problem

I have a report based on a view. For some reason some of the columns are not being sorted correctly. After pressing the column header to sort date columns the underlying data is not sorted properly (its out of order) or its not sorted at all.
Can you please let me know if there is a known bug causing that?

I think I'm having the same problem.
I have a report with data columns, several "not shown" columns, and several column links. I've noticed that any columns in the query after a certain point, will not sort the correct column. If I show all the columns and allow them all to sort, then some of the columns will sort the data in another column. (for example clicking on the header/sort link for column x sorts the table by column y and clicking on the sort link for column z sorts column x, etc).
I've noticed that I can move columns around in my select query and no matter how they are arranged, after the 7th or 8th column in the select statement, none of the columns following that will sort properly. I've tried all kinds of things, changing my select query around, enabling and disabling sorting, adding additional null columns in, setting and unsetting the default sort order, changing the order of the columns in the report. I don't have an order by in my query or anything weird besides some where clauses (most of which are from the default search functionality).
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? We just upgraded from HTML DB 2.2 to APEX 3.0 and the problem remained the same.
Thanks,
Greg

Bug report - classic report lov defn retained when no longer relevant

Hi,
In January I spotted a case where, attributes were retained after a selection was changed, and related fields are hidden in the dev environment.
http://www.grassroots-oracle.com/2013/01/dynamic-action-hidden-false-actions.html
Anthony Rayner asked me on twitter for other examples and I just found one.
Classic report - column display as "Select list (query based lov)"
Add LOV sql.
Change back to "Standard report column" or "display as text...", save.
Change to "select list..." -> lov definition re-appears.
I actually founds this after setting the column to standard report column, then copying the page - the LOV was present in the new page!

Scott,
Thanks for following up on this. I have filed bug #16482841 for this, which will be looked in the next major release.
Thanks again.

Embedded images disappear on column sorts when viewing SSRS via url in an iframe

RE: SQL Server - 2008 R2 Reporting Services
We deliver an ASP.Net MVC (5) application and some of the views show/display SSRS report via url in an iframe (so the report is displayed vi the web viewer). There are images in the header of some of these reports which display correctly on the initial
view, but "disappear" when the user uses a report column sort and/or changes the report zoom (via the SSRS web viewer toolbar). There are other quirky behaviors as well (depending on the browser), but we are dealing with IE versions 8 thru 11. I've
already set the ReportViewer.aspx to use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">, and our application pages/views use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">.
Does anyone have a "fix" for this? I know it's related to the ReportViewer.aspx and displaying the report(s) in an iframe, but I can't seem to find any information on how to fix the issue.

Hi,
According to your description, when you preview report through url in an iframe, the embed images can be displayed, images can’t be displayed after users used sort and changed report zoom.
To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
Run the report in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) to make sure that the images can be displayed correctly.
The issue may be relevant to compatibility of browser, please use different browser to check whether the issue persists.
If you are using embedded image of jpg type, please change the extension of the image to png.
Set the ReportViewer.aspx to use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">.
Here is a relevant thread you can reference:

Need help in sorting a column in classic report

Hi I am trying to create and classic report and I need to do sorting on the columns. Also I am using a select list to filter the records in the column. When I am not using the select list the sorting is working but when I am using the selcet list and select the sort option then it is showing error. Can anyone help...
Thnaks,
Rik

Select lists prior to v4 will sort on the return value. In v4, it sorts on the display value (as you're probably expecting). There's nothing really for you to fix here except if it's really important, see if you can get upgraded to v4.

How to Link column header only in classic Report in APEX 4.1

Hello Everybody,
Probably there is a simpler way to do this, but I am not sure. I want a link on column header in Report on a specific column. The link will take me to new region or a page.
How to achieve this in APEX 4.1
Theme : Blue 2
Database 11g
I see there is a column link opiton, but that creates link for every row in that column on a specific icon, I just want link on a title of the column in Classic Report.
For Example,
if there are two columns Name and Client ID, which has 10 records to display on a classic report. I wan the link on Client ID on header only not on the records.
Can anybody provide some simple solution for this.
Thanks,
--CP

Hello,
I didn't understand, what do you mean by default it is going to sort popup. I have a classic report based on SQL, which generates a report with static header, there is no sort or any other link on that.
I added a link in column header name with an anchor. It works and takes to the new page.
But it is not a proper solution. A solution based on Jquery dynamic action is preferable. Also the preferred option is that the link opens a hidden region of the same page at the same location of the report and the report gets hidden. after the procession on the form region and submitting the update/ insert process. the report region shows up with the change data.
Moving on to new page is 2nd option, if the first do not work.
In the JavaScript, put: apex.submit("GO_TO_MY_OTHER_PAGE");
On the page, create a Branch to the Second page. Set the condition to Request=Expression 1. Set the request to "GO_TO_MY_OTHER_PAGE"
On which page I need to create a branch?, Is it on the report page or the form page.
Thanks a lot for the response. I appreciate your kind efforts in this regard.

Problem with download link for a BLOB Column in a "Classic report"

I am having a problem where I cannot make a download link for a blob column function in a "classic" (non-interactive) report. I went through the tutorial on this topic and it was great help it working out the minor bugs, but I get a 404 error (apex_util.get_BLOB not found). For testing purposes I went ahead and created a an identical report on the same page that is an "Interactive report" and it works like a charm. Same query, same BLOB formatting Mask, pulling data from the same table. So, it really doesn't seem like an issue with the grants, since both reports should be executing as the same user.
I know it sounds like the obvious answer is to just go with the interactive report and my problem is solved, but the rest of this site uses classic reports, and I don't need the sort features of an interactive report, and the slightly different style of the the report really stands out even if I turn off all the bells and whistles. I don't want to change the css to make them look identical, I just want a regular report to work.

I eventually found another post: APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB was not found on this server
In this post there is the suggestion of putting "dbms_lob.getlength("var")" after the date field in your select. So I changed my query to have it at the end, and now my format mask (DOWNLOAD:table_name:ATTACHED_FILE:FILE_ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::attachment:Download) works like a charm, in a classic report.

Classic Report Sort problem

I have a classic report that retrieves data based on the value in an item. When the page first opens the report retrieves properly. However, the strange thing is when I try to sort the rows by pressing the column header, I receive "No Data Found".
The report is just very basic. Selecting a few columns from a table where ID = :P3_ID.
If I change the where clause to be WHERE ID like '%' || :P3_ID, when it initially retrieves, I receive the data for the value in P3_ID. However, when I sort the report by a column header, it retrieves everything. It is as if P3_ID has been set to NULL or a blank eventhough it displays the proper ID.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

How to implement Dynamic Sort to an SQL classic report?

Hi,
I'm trying to implement dynamic sort to my working sql classic report, when user selects order by column from select item(action as submit page), the report should be refreshed and display with the selected column sort order.
But not able to do so.
Report Query:
Select a, b, c from sample order by :P1_ORDER_BY
P1_ORDER_BY - Select Item:
STATIC2: Column 1;a, Column 2;b, Column 3;c
Running page, report doesnt sorts in any of the column priority.
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Krishna

Of course the select item is in use.
It should submit the the page on select so you can retrieve the current value in you report select statement.
look here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=21296:2:
table:
create table sample
a varchar2(30)
, b varchar2(30)
, c varchar2(30)
insert into sample values('a','z','k');
insert into sample values('b','y','d');
insert into sample values('c','x','a');
insert into sample values('d','w','b');
commit;
Select List:
P2_ORDER_BY
STATIC:Order by A;A,Order by B;B,Order by C;C
Report select:
select
a,b,c
from sample
order by
decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'A',a,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'B',b,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'C',c,null)Marc
