Custom Report Headers with sorting

Hi All!
I was wondering if there is any "substitution string" for the sorting option in the report headers...
I have this type of pl/sql report header: (function returning varchar2)
<tr>
<th rowspan="2" class="t23ReportHeader_sp">XXXXX</th>:
<th rowspan="2" class="t23ReportHeader_sp">YYYY</th>:
etc
<tr>
Is there any way to input the sorting option into this pl/sql code????
THANKS!!

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Custom Report: Columns with headings merged

Hello All,
Is there a way to get a custom layout in reports as depicted in the following image -

I can generate the simple layout with A, B1, B2 and B3 headings, but I'm not sure how and where to aggregate the B1, B2 and B3 into B.

Custom Headers with LrHttp.post?

I am using custom HTTP headers in my application and this works
great with LrHttp.get. However, LR doesn't send anything when I try to do this with LrHttp.post.
My code looks like the following:
            local customHdrs = {
                { field="XXX", value="yyy" }
            local data, hdrs = LrHttp.get(url, customHdrs)
            data, hdrs = LrHttp.post(url, xxx, customHdrs)
Any ideas? Has anyone used custom HTTP headers with post before?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've used standard headers with LrHttp.postMultipart, but not custom headers with LrHttp.post. Could you try using LrHttp.postMultipart instead to see if it has any more luck for you than LrHttp.post?
Also have you tried using something like Fiddler2 to intercept the HTTP traffic and confirm whether or not the headers were sent with the request?

Migrate custom reports UCCX 8.0 to 9.0 issue

Dear all,
We migrated UCCX 8.0 to the new UCCX 9.0. After the migration the customized reports (designed with old version of Crystal Reports) not work in the new CCX Historical Reports 9.0.
Any idea or procedure to migrate easy the customized reports from UCCX 8.0 to 9.0 without re-design the report with Crystal Reports 11?
Thanks so much!

The advice I have seen in this forum, many times, is that you do NOT have Acrobat and Reader installed together, since some components are the same (same module name?) and installing Reader causes problems for Acrobat

Attach Custom Report to PO Approval Notification

Hi All,
I m currently working on a requirement to attach a custom report along with the PO Output for communication report in the PO Approval. I was tracing and found out that the PO Output for communication has been submitted in PO_COMMUNICAITON_PVT package. After that i am unable to trace further. Please let me know how i can i trace this and how to attach a custom report in PO Approval.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We are unable to understand your requirement correctly.. Do you use any schedule conc. request to generate the Custom report??? At what time you want to attach custom report in the PO, during the PO creation process by the buyer (before submitting for approval)?
Can the buyer, generate the custom report and save it locally (in his m/c) before attaching it to the PO..?
Kind Regards,

I need my custom reports to look like the packaged Oracle Reports in Apps

Hello,
I have several custom reports developed with Oracle Developer that I am adding into Oracle applications. However, they are still using the default template(with Oracle corp image in upper left hand corner). I want these custom reports to be identical with the Oracle apps reports. Is there an Oracle apps template and/or librarie(s) that I can use to pull this off?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Oracle Apps Reports are all Character Based Reports and not Bit Mapped Reports.
So Apps Reports will not support Templates and Apps does not provide any Templates for its reports as the way Oracle Apps Forms provides.
If at all you want the same look and feel of your Custom Reports to be as Apps Reports what you can do is :
1.In the Report Module Property Design in Charatcter Units should be set to No.
2.In Layout Model ensure the Units of Measurement is set to Character.
3.In Layout model do not include any formatting like Text Bold Italics.
4 In Oracle Apps Concurrent Programs ensure your View Output is set to Text.
Once these points are considered then i am sure you will be able to see your Custom Reports as the same look and feel of Oracle Apps Reports.

Custom report sorting

Custom report sorting
I need to display the report column header in vertical format, hence I’ve to use to use some css code along with column name for that. Also, I want this column to be sorted by clicking the column name. So, I’m embedding the following url along with css and column name to enable sorting on this column when user clicks the column header. I got the following url by looking at the standard report with sorting enabled on a column.
http://test.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=100:22:&APP_SESSION:fsp_sort_1::RP&fsp_region_id=1870116795285540
My questions are …
How can I toggle the url to append “_desc” to the fsp_sort_1 parameter dynamically when the user clicks the column name, as it is done when standard column sorting is selected.?
How can pass region id dynamically in the above url (last number in the url)?
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks,

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.

Issue with sorting in a PPR report

Hi:
I have a report based on a query that references a view whose defining query references a remote table. I have the columns of this report enabled for sorting and there is no default sort column specified
All is fine when the page containing this report is called up for the first time. The problems start once I click a column heading to sort the report by that column. The report then renders with fewer than 15 rows (the rows per page value) and hence the pagination links disappear. if I now click a different column heading then more than 15 rows are shown again. I cant say whether the truncation of the result set ihappens only when sorting by a particular column. It does appear to be random. Surprisingly, if PPR is disabled then this bizzare behaviour is not seen.
Any idea what is going on here ?

Hi Carl:
I have posted the page at apex.oracle.com. The URL is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23548:22
However, the problem doesnt manifiest itself here.
Further investigation on my side leads me to believe that it is the contents of one of the columns displayed by the report (column named STMT) that appears to be the culprit. I remove this column from the report and all is well. The column contents are pl-sql/SQL statements. I cant understand why the contents of the column should matter.
Thanks for your response.

How to update a table (CUSTOMER) on a Report Server with the data from the same table (CUSTOMER) from another server Transaction server?

I had an interview question that is:
How to update a table (Customer) on a server ex: Report Server with the data from the same table (Customer) From another server ex: Transaction server?
Set up steps so inset, update or delete operation takes place across the servers.
It would be great if someone please enlighten me in details about this process in MS SQL Server 2008 R2.
Also please describe would it be different for SQL Server 2012?
If so, then what are the steps?

Error creating custom reports. Permissions issue with custom reports

I am having permission issues with reports. I am building a new Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure and I have configured the Site server on Server1 and the DB is on Server2. Server2 also hosts the Reporting Point and SSRS roles/features. If
I look in Monitoring at the Site Status and Component Status are all green no issues with the setup.
Running SQL 2008 SP2 (no CUs). I have a service account that I used to install Configuration Manager and SQL. This service account is running the SQL service on Server2 and i am using the same account as the Reporting Services Point Account.
I log into the SCCM console with a different user account, lets call it Admin1. This account is a member of the Full Administrator role. I can run any built in report.
When I open the SSRS website and try to create a custom report I connect the DataSource using Windows Authentication. So the Datasource is connecting using the logged in users account. In this case Admin1. I test the connection and it connects fine.
I test this query. (Select * from v_R_System) I only have about 10 workstations discovered so the report shouldn’t be very big. I get an error “The Select permission was denied on the object ‘v_R_System’, Database ‘CM_XXX’, schema ‘dbo’. (Microsoft sql server,
Error: 229)”
I have fixed the SELECT permission error by going into the database (using SQL Management studio) and granting Admin1 Select rights to the Configuration Manager database. I can now run the above query and make custom reports.
My 2<sup>nd</sup> problem is that other members of the Full Administrator role cannot run these custom reports unless I go into the database and grant them the SELECT permission.
Question:
Should I have to manually go into the database to add SELECT permissions(i could use a group)? shouldnt Configuration Manager take care of this for me?
Maybe the built in reports use the SQL service account rights and the custom ones do not? Am I doing something wrong with the Datasource when I create these custom reports?
What is the correct process for creating custom reports?

I think i am getting closer to a solution. After the Custom report is created. i can go back into the report. Delete the DataSource. Then browse for a dataSource. there is a datasource located in http://server2/reportserver/ConfigMgr_XXX/
That datasource is used by all builtin reports. if you view the properties on the Credentials tab it is set to "do not use credentials" and the option is greyed out / cannot be changed.
it looks like i still need the SELECT permissions on the database to create the report initially but at least i have solved the problem with viewing these reports.
Can anyone confirm that what i did is correct?
