Convert SVG Charts to Flash in Apex 2.2.1

Hi All,
With Adobe stopping support of SVG, I am looking at updating my current charts to be flash based.
My application is currently based in an Apex 2.2.1 environment.
I understand that this can be done quite simply in version 3.0, but was wondering if this is possible to do without upgrading.
If not possible, is there any other format I can convert the SVG charts to in Apex 2.2.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mazu

Hello,
The only solution I can think of is to use a third party charting engine and code an XML output for the data feed for each of your charts, which is exactlly what we have done for you in APEX 3.0 using AnyChart.
There are plenty of enhancments and security fixes between 2.2.1 and 3.0 (and soon to be 3.1) to make the choice to upgrade farily obvious.
The amount of time and effort between upgrading and building out a bunch of custom charts isn't even comparable, upgrading is much easier.

Carl

Conversion from SVG viewer to flash problems

Hi all
I have an application built in APEX 2. Upgraded to APEX 3 now the SVG won't display. I understand that 3 does not support SVG so what would I need to convert the app to run on Flash.
cheers
Ian

Ian,
SVG charts should work the same in APEX 2.x and 3.x. You have the option to convert SVG charts to Flash (see the right-side Tasks menu when editing a SVG chart), but you aren't forced to do this conversion.
Are you able to create any SVG charts on the new instance?

How can I add my own dynamic flash to Apex Applcation?

Hi all,
Can I add my own flash to Apex applcation and enable the flash to communicate with my applcation using XML?
I want to customise the action of my flash. The flash will get a xml from a PL/SQL procedure just as flash charts get xml from apex_util_flash.
Is it possible to call a PL/SQL procedure or an apex application process from a flash?
Is there another way of doing this?
thanks

I haven't tried any coding experience in flash , so my answer would be a bit vague.
But I am basing my logic on this thread Calling PHP function from Flash (it says PHP but the code example involves a server request from flash)
Set up an Application process that returns your XML (as the server response using ht.p)
// object which sends to php
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// object that receives
var load_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// the load_lv accepting variables
load_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
    if(success)
             //Do your thing here
             //Parse the XML in flash using this valiable as the source
        else
            trace("load error goes here")
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "wwv_flow.show",
data: {
p_flow_id : $v('pFlowId'),
p_instance : $v('pInstance'),
p_flow_step_id : 1,
p_request : ""
//This section is based on the documented server request format using jQuery (given in comments above)
// send_lv sending out variables and instructing the returned variables to go to load_lv
send_lv.p_flow_id = <fetch page element value of pFlowId> //corresponding to $v('pFlowId')
send_lv.p_instance = <fetch page element value of pInstance> //corresponding to $v('pInstance')
send_lv.p_flow_step_id = <page number>
send_lv.p_request = 'ON Demand Application Process Name'
send_lv.sendAndLoad("wwv_flow.show",load_lv,"POST");-------------------------------------------
You might also be interested in this flash library named SWFHttpRequest Flash/Ajax Utility
Apparently, it adds a JavaScript object for performing XMLHttpRequest-like requests fro flash.
Hence you should be able to use you standard javascript like Ajax request using that.
Else check for similar libraries for flash/give the server request section of your flash documentation a good read.
You might have to play around a bit with the code and your flash documentation to get it working , but I hope this would have given you some pointers.

SVG chart x axis values out of order

Hi
I have an application built in apex 3.0 that is running from apex 3.1.
It has an SVG chart with an x axis that displays the dates as
01-JUN-2008
01-MAY-2008
02-JUN-2008
02-MAY-2008
03-JUN-2008 etc.
what is wanted is that it displays the dates as
01-MAY-2008
02-MAY-2008
01-JUN-2008
02-JUN-2008
03-JUN-2008 etc.
I did not build this application so how do I start to debug this chart and get it to display the dates in sequential order.
Sorry, I know I have probably not given you much info but hopefully you can give me some pointers.
regards
Tony

Hi Tony,
Did you find your answer?
Try looking at this post.
order x-axis in svg-graph by date
you will need to create a subqueary
something like
SELECT DATE, OTHER1
FROM (SELECT DATE, sum(OTHER) as OTHER1
FROM MY_TABLE
group by DATE)
order by DATE
This worked for me.

Dynamic Query in SVG Chart

Hi,
I have SVG Chart, Chart Type: Cluster Bar, Vertical. I have 4 Chart Series. First:
SELECT null link, X.MESIC
FROM [email protected]
WHERE ..........
I have given dynamic Chart Series Query:
'SELECT null link, X.MESIC
FROM '||adm||'.[email protected]
WHERE .........."
but Apex write error:
1 error has occurred
Failed to parse SQL query
Please help as in what am i missing?

You can either use a SQL query or a function returning SQL query as the source of your chart. Just adding some quotes to a query however doesn't make it dynamic nor a function. Try something like this:
begin
return 'select null, ename, sal from emp';
end;
Edit your existing chart source, and check "Save query without validation", so that APEX doesn't attempt to parse and validate the query when saving.
Hope this helps,
Marc

Displaying Charts Without Flash

Is there an alternative to displaying charts in Flash or SVG format? I need to create unique 6 dynamic charts on one page... and HTML only offer Bar Charts.
Is there a way to custom code pie, line, and stacked bar graphs in HTML or some other tool?
Thanks!
Romi

Hello Brandon.....
I think a number of video editing software packages can
produce FLVs..
The main one I know of is Sorenson Squeeze alternatively try
looking for FLV compression, FLV Creation or FLV editing in Google.
Sothink Flash Video Encoder can also covert to FLV from avi,
wmv filel types
www.videodl.org will allow you to take YouTube and google
video and covert them to FLV.
Hope some of this helps.

SVG Charts Display

Hi Friends,
Thanks for sparing your valuable time i watching this thread.
I had a table with values of amounts where some values are negative also. Now I want to display those values in a Chart. I tried with the SVG Chart where it is not allowing me to start the axis with negative amount. It is prompting to enter either 0 or greater than that to start with.
Can anyone tell me which chart is best feasible to display with the following items:
I have 13 Categories (Static), Months (Dynamic, atleast 30 months will be there), Amounts for each category for each month.
I need to display this in the chart so as to better know the burn rate.
Thanks,
Sekhar.

All browsers have SVG support built-in now, except for Internet Explorer that needs help. The Adobe SVG Viewer is just one of the options for that help, it is no longer supported officially, but you can still download it.
Going from SVG to Flash is throwing out much of the power you get from the openness.

SVG Chart with CheckSum (CS) in link

Hi,
I've got a SVG chart with links in it. If I do links without checksums it works fine. The second I add a checksum it gives me the following error:
<br>
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://myurl.com:8080/apex/f?p=107:6:2218842577149441:FLOW_SVG_CHART_R7148121064428318_en-us
Line Number 22, Column 1690:
<br>
I'm using Oracle XE w. APEX. Heres' what I did.
Initially in my query I had the following for the link column:
f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::NO::P2_ID:4
This worked and had no problems whatsoever.
<br>
Now I tried to add the checksum (as required by Page 3)
HTMLDB_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::NO::P2_ID:4')
This gave me the error that I mentioned above.
<br>
To confirm that it was the checksum I did one last test where I manually entered in a checksum (I know the checksum is wrong but I just wanted to see if it would show the table or not)
f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::NO::P2_ID:4&cs=123
Again this gave me the error.
<br>
Any ideas on this?

Is there no possibility?

Problem converting Excel Charts

I am using Acrobat 9.3.4 (pro extended) and MS Office 2007 service pack 2. I am having problems converting the charts in Excel. The charts in Excel are vector, but when I print to the Acrobat driver or save in Acrobat, the graphs are converted to a low quality bitmap. Any ideas how I can preserve the quality of the original graph? Any idea how I can preserve the vector drawings?

I suspect the upgrade to Excel 2007 is at fault here, but I have not found any settings to get my old functionality back. I posted the same question to an Excel board, and they referred me to a similar thread, which sounds like other people are having similar problems.
It looks like some older version of Excel was having trouble when people used "save as pdf" (Excel was resizing the graphic and moving it off the page.) To eliminate the problem, they seem to have changed their graphics creation engine from vector to bitmap.
I have an older version of Excel (2003 sp3) at home, and the pie charts, for example, are clearly being created as vector drawings. In Excel 2007, they appear to be bitmaps created at screen resolution, which in my case is a fuzzy mess because of the need to resize the drawings. On the Excel board, there is a link to a "hotfix" but I don't know if it is the same issue. I will post the link here if it works.
I tried beating my head against the keyboard, but it has not helped.

SVG: Chart error: ORA-20001:

Hi,
We are using 1.6.1.00.02 . I got a problem with SVG chart. The query returns following error:
SVG: Chart error: ORA-20001: bar_char_error ORA-20001: get_data_error: ORA-20001 Fetch error: ORA-01782
The column names are correct. The same query works perfectly in HTMLDB reports.
Following is the query:
SELECT
TRANSACTION_dATE,
SUM(SALES) SALES,
SUM(COST_OF_SALE) COST_OF_SALE
fROM HTML_SALES_REPORT_View
WHERE transaction_date between
'01-DEC-2004' and '31-DEC-2004'
GROUP BY TRANSACTION_DATE
Help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Hamayun

Hi,
you have to use the following syntax:
SELECT link, label, value
Example
SELECT
null link, TRANSACTION_dATE label,
SUM(SALES) value ,
fROM HTML_SALES_REPORT_View
WHERE transaction_date between
'01-DEC-2004' and '31-DEC-2004'
GROUP BY TRANSACTION_DATE
And to display your cost_of_sale data you have to add a second series like this:
SELECT
null link, TRANSACTION_dATE label,
SUM(COST_OF_SALE) value
fROM HTML_SALES_REPORT_View
WHERE transaction_date between
'01-DEC-2004' and '31-DEC-2004'
GROUP BY TRANSACTION_DATE
because you can't display two lines with just one query.
I hope this will help.

SVG CHart error ORA-20001 with Stacked Bar Chart HTML DB 1.6.0.00.87

Hi,
during I put a How-To into execution (How To Create a Stacked Bar Chart) I'll get the following error code:
SVG Chart error:ORA-20001:line_Chart error:ORA-20001:

(see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/index.html)
This Situation occurs when i add a second series to the

Please help.

Well,
I've just been struggling for a couple of hours with a cluster bar chart giving the same problem.
The problem is definitely with "ORDER BY".
I guess the graphing chart is taking the sql query as a string and then does some other manipulation on it which ends abnormally when you include the order by clause.
I presume that if you embed the query in a
SELECT * FROM (<actual query with order by>)
it might mitigate the problem.

Unable to edit wizard created SVG chart query

Hi,
I have a problem with an SVG chart that one of the HTML DB wizards created.
On the generated page the wizard created a selection list item named P30_SHOW.
This item allows to choose a table column based on which an SVG pie chart is generated.
The automatically generated chart query is:
select 'f?p=106:26:&SESSION.:::RP,26:P26_CHART_FILTER,P26_VALUE:'||:P30_SHOW||','||"&P30_SHOW.",
"&P30_SHOW.", count(*)
from "TESTTABLE"
group by 'f?p=106:26:&SESSION.:::RP,26:P26_CHART_FILTER,P26_VALUE:'||:P30_SHOW||','||"&P30_SHOW.",
"&P30_SHOW."
The page with selection list and chart worked fine at first.
But then, when I edited the chart's width on the respective 'SVG Chart Attributes' tab and pressed
the 'Apply Changes' button I got the following error:
'Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier)'
I only changed the chart's width, I did not touch the chart's query at all.
My theory is that HTML DB tries to validate the correctness of the chart's query.
However, the query references a session variable (P30_SHOW) that is
not defined in my development session. Consequently, the query is not valid in the
development context and is refused by HTML DB.
Now I have two questions:
1. Is my analysis correct, or are there different reasons for the error I do encounter?
2. How can I get around the problem? I'd like to use the automatically generated charts,
but also want to be able to edit them.
Thanks in advance for helpful comments.
Regards Holger

Scott,
I imported the application using the import/install process. A new application ID was created but was not changed in the chart query. The link was generated by the application wizard. The chart query link is below:
select 'f?p=103:2:&SESSION.:::RP,2:P2_CHART_FILTER,P2_VALUE:'||:P6_SHOW||','||"&P6_SHOW.", "&P6_SHOW.", count(*)
from "O_DATA_COLLECTION_POINTS"
group by 'f?p=103:2:&SESSION.:::RP,2:P2_CHART_FILTER,P2_VALUE:'||:P6_SHOW||','||"&P6_SHOW.", "&P6_SHOW."
The new application id is 101. It is impossible to modify this query because of message:
"1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier"
This happens even if nothing is changed in the query but just the apply changes button is pressed.
I had a similar problem with the breadcrumbs menu. The link was also pointing to the old application id 103 instead of the new application id 101. The way I got round that was to delete the breadcrumb template and create a new one. I then had to go through all the pages that referenced that and reset the breadcrumbs menu template in the region definition.
Thanks Arjen

Can't display the correct numeric characters in SVG charts with IE5.5 SP2

Hi all,
although I defined the following format model for the number in a SVG chart
FML999G999G999G999G990D00
I am still getting the dollar sign and the period, even if my current browser language preference is set to italian (IE 5.5 SP2).
Note that month names instead are correctly translated (in a region other than that containing the SVG chart).
On the other hand, this does not happen with Mozilla 1.7 which correctly shows the euro sign and the comma as decimal separator.
Bye,
Flavio

Flavio,
This is a known bug with the chart builder reading Internet Explorer's browser language setting.
You should be able to bypass this by editing the Application Attributes and setting the Primary Application Language to Italian and setting the Application Language to derive from the Primary Application Language instead of the browser setting.

Newbie - help with a SQL query for a bar chart - Originally posted in APEX

I originally posted this in the APEX forum but someone there suggested this is more of a SQL question. Anyone out there who can provide some assistance?
Hi,
I'm a new user on APEX with no real SQL knowledge and I'm trying to build a dashboard with charts into an existing APEX application. Based on another application, I have come up with the following SQL code:
select null link
, CATEGORY label
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'1',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'2',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'3',PROJECT_ID))"On Hold"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'4',PROJECT_ID))"Pipeline"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'5',PROJECT_ID))"Pending Review"
from GRAPO_PROHEADTRK
where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')
group by CATEGORY
Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESC
The code from the other app was:
select null link
, FUNCTIONAL_AREA label
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Active',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Complete',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'On Hold',PROJECT_ID)) "On Hold"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Recurring',PROJECT_ID))"Recurring"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Pipeline',PROJECT_ID))"Pipeline"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Not Approved',PROJECT_ID))"Not Approved"
from PM_V2
where LOB='S2S' and (FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Accounts Payable' or FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Expense' or FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Procurement' or FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Fixed Assets')
group by FUNCTIONAL_AREA
Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESC
I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.
Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rachel

group by CATEGORY
Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESCIs there a problem with the code above?
It's curious that the WHERE clause includes "PROJECT_STATUS='6'", but there is no pivoted column for project_status='6', like there is for '1' through '5'. That's not necessarily a mistake, and it wouldn't raise an error in any case.
Instead of
where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')you could say
where PROJECT_STATUS IN ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6')but that probably has nothing to do with your current problem.
The code from the other app was:
select null link
, FUNCTIONAL_AREA label
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Active',PROJECT_ID))"Active"

I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.Is that an Apex error message? Sorry, I don't know anything about Apex.
If you can't get a more specific error message from Apex, then try debugging this statement in SQL*Plus. When you get it fixed, then you can copy it back into Apex.
If this is a SQL problem, then you should be able to re-create the problem in pure SQL.
If you can't re-create the problem in pure SQL, then it's probably an Apex problem, and belongs in the Apex forum, not here.
I don't see anything obviously wrong with your code, but I can't tell if, for example, you spelled a column name wrong, or if something has the wrong data type
Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.It wiould be better if you posted a completE script that people could run to re-create the problem, and to test their ideas.
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Always say which version of Oracle (and any other software, such as Apex) you're using.
