Custom Report layout Using FOP

I am using FOP as report server to print my apex regions as PDF. How can i print a report with custom layout. Plz provide me a starting point.

I want to make a report withe the parent and child hirerechy. e.g
parent data line 1
parent data lie 2
parent data line 3
child No.1 data
childe no. 2 data
Child No. 3 data
In case I print this report using the standard layout. It prints in one table withe the parent repeating for each child. I want to also inculde some things in the header and footer like company logo and signature.
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.

Custom Report Layout in APEX 3.0 PDF

How much freedom do we have when developing a custom report layout using BI Publisher when we create the template file using the Word XML add-on?
Why I am asking is, I am trying to replicate several Crystal based reports that use multiple lines of for data. They group on several columns and display the grouped data on separate lines in the report.
Grouping 1 Line one has customer detail information
Next grouping 1 or more lines are provider of service line information
Last Line count of detail lines for customer
Or would I be better off porting these reports to Oracle Reports?
Thank you!

Marc, I was able to create reports based on a layout and a report query...Is it possible to let the end user (not apex developers) download the report layout, make modifications and load it again. They will only be changing the text and very rarely will modify the fields..
Thanks

and 1406 for upload

are these the tables/apis i could use ?

Custom report layout question...can't find any answers anywhere

I am trying to build a report in Portal, using the custom report layout. The report displays like so, before I do any customization:
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
where COLUMN1 is the same value, always per report; COLUMN2 and COLUMN3 vary.
What I want is:
COLUMN1
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
In the report layout editor, Body section, this is what I see:
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
so #COLUMN1.FIELD# must be some kind of array, but I am not finding any documentation anywhere on how to reference the individual values. All I need is the very first value of the COLUMN1 variable. Once I have that value, I can put it where I need it, but I can't get at that value, just the array.
I have searched portal center, the app server documentation, html documentation. I have googled everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I found a similar question on this forum, but no one responded with an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,

Reports Layout- storing custom report layouts that aren't FOP/RTF

I am actually setting up a similar environment to the supported FOP processor, but with a JasperReports custom j2ee web application (WAR).
I am having some degree of success. Instead of relying on passing user/pass for a JDBC connection, I have reports mapped by XML elements. The reports just pick up off of the document already being sent with the xPath record root at /DOCUMENT/REGION/ROWSET/ROW.
I have planned on saving the jrxml reports as Report Layouts into APEX, so that the templates are also saved directly with the application and sent with the request, making the server side more of a dumb processor.
I have had some success in this setup except for what looks like one issue.
It appears that the jrxml remains intact on the upload, verified by viewing the CLOB contents of WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS.PAGE_TEMPLATE.
I was going to say that it appeared that the "+" characters were being stripped, but after starting up my packet sniffer, it appears that is is actually because the fields (xml, template, etc) are not url_encoded prior to transmission. They are getting to the OC4J server, but not read correctly by the default HttpServletRequest.
I realize that should this remain consistant, I can call the .Reader of the request object and actually pick up the POST parameters manually.
Question:
Is there anyway that this could be corrected in a future release, patch, or is there a way I can modify this behavior?
Am I the only one who has seen this or does anyone suspect I have done something wrong in my setup?

I guess I have further confirmed this, by manually setting the particular character, "+" to its URL encoded equivalent "%2B" in the table WWW_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS. After this, on receipt of the object at the Java receiver, it is formatted correctly. Furthermore, the getReader or getInputStream of the HttpServletRequest doesn't help because at this point it is empty.
I figure if all else fails, I can put a dreaded trigger on to the WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS, or an after the fact process to URL encode the contents. Heck, I am already unsupported as far as the printing goes, amirite

Report print attributes - custom report layout

Hi there,
I've looked for this information in the web and in this forum without luck so far...
We have here BI Publisher and I use the "Enable Report Printing" option in a traditional report in Apex 4.0.2. That works great.
But instead of using the "Default Report Layout", I want to use a custom one based on a RTF file. However I have no idea what the data XML looks like in order to build a custom layout.
To be clear: if you go to Shared Components > Report Queries, you have a Download XML Data option so you can build your report layout based on the XML structure. For instance, you can use <?for-each:ROWSET1_ROW?>, <?COLUMN_NAME?> etc
Any ideas about what that XML structure is for a traditional report?
Thanks
Luis

Found it: change temporarily the output format to XML and download the report. The XML structure is all there. Very helpful to know that all page items are included in the XML as well. It would be good to have this functionality detailed somewhere in the Apex documentation.
What I still need to know is how to access the substitution strings below in my RTF (NOT XSL-FO) template:
Select Default Report Layout to use the built-in generic report layout.
To use a custom generic report layout, select it from the list.
You can use the following substitution strings when building custom XSL-FO report layouts:
#PAGE_HEADER#
#PAGE_HEADERFONT_COLOR#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
...Any ideas?

Custom substitution strings in custom report layout (XSL-FO)

I copied the default generic column report layout (XSL-FO) and made my own template. Everything worked except that I would need to pass some of my custom substition strings to the XSL-FO template. For example, I had a subsitution string named PDF_HEADER_TITLE. I could not simply hard-code it as &PDF_HEADER_TITLE. because it would fail to generate the pdf file. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
Thanks.
Andy

Hey Smitha Mohan,
In fact SAP BW MDX supports limited string manipulation and only with NAME and UNIQUENAME attributes.
Here are some samples that you can use in universes:
MID([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,1,4)
LEFT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,2)
RIGHT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,3)
MID([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,1,4)
LEFT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,2)
RIGHT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,3)
Use them along with Concate()
Hope it should solves the req.
Gracias...!!

Custom Report LayOut in BI Publisher

I have uploaded an xml file to the word plugin in order to make a report layout.
I have inserted all the fields in one line. When I preview the report it shows only one line and not all data. What may be cause of the problem?

Hi -
1) Add Query just for column headings under Source Query (you can obviously pass in bind variables to select the correct column values if need be).
2) For layout, pull in the headers from data model (just like any other field) and use them to replace any existing "hard coded" headers.
Good luck.

How to manually create a Report Layout using Crystal

I am trying to create a new layout using Crystal for my Statements using BP Aging . the out of the box Crystal report for that will not work and it would be easier if i just decide what tables I want to look at. The problem is i am not sure how to set up the parameters so when i print from the aging it will automatically fill in my parameters with the correct information. I have already written the report but when i attempt to print from the Aging report it asks me for my perimeters every time. I tried to look at the out of the box version but it does not even use perimeters so i have no idea how SAP feeds Crystal what information to filter by. I'm using 8.80 PL 16 thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Edited by: Megan Salem on Oct 31, 2011 5:31 PM

not really, The system one all comes from some sort of "pld" table and the only designations are the f-numbers (F_124) and i don't have a clue what those are, and when i try to link what should be an the invoice number to the OINV table other things come back blank even when i use left join. I need some of the information that is provided but i need more than what is currently there so i need the ability to link to the other tables and have it work for every one. (I'm trying to make it more like the dunnung statement only so it can be run at any moment in time and give the exact amount owed.)

UCCX 8.5 - Custom reports (not using Crystal)

I have a customer requesting a report of the calls per hour per agent...Say I go into the reporting system that I have setup and the person is able to select a date range and queue name, the output should show a series of tables (one for each day) that includes agent name, with the number of calls taken per hour....
can anyone point me in the right direction of a sql statement that would querry the database to do so?

Custom reporting on the UCCX platform can be a real chore, luckily if what you're doing is only a modification of an existing report you can create the new report with minimal hassle.
UCCX primarily uses stored procedures to generating report data, the procedure name and variables it consumes are provided in the report defintions provided with the HRC client (check the installed directory). This is an XML file you can parse.
From there, you may customize to your hearts content and display to whatever interface deemed appropriate.
You may wish to consult both the UCCX Database Schema and Historical Reports developer guide for your partitcular version of UCCX.

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to display three different sections(granularity) of data in single report as shown in the below
designed three different queries in query designer for each section

Product Group Material                                 08/08/2011                     08/09/2011                         08/10/2011
PG1                    M1          KF4                              5000                            6000                                   8000
In Final report we want to display all the above information in single report by product group . For example if we have multiple product groups (ex: PG1,PG2, PG3 e.t.c) we want to display by product group sequence like 1) PG1 (from 3 queries info) and then PG2 (from 3 queires info) and PG3 (from 3 queries) e.t.c.
Please advise on how to achieve required report layout. appreciate your help.

Custom Report layout

I have a simple question to ask (simple I hope a tleast). In the past, I have been able to use the out of the box layout for most reports. However at my current job, we will be needing some custom layouts done to the report region to show parent child style reports.
I know that the region is just HTML with some CSS thrown in along with placeholder columns, but am confused as to if I can get the formatting to look like this:
Name ID # DOB Race Office Location (Parent row of data)
Appt Loc Appt Date/Time Appt Descript Appt Meet With (Child Row)
Where there will be a number of child rows per employee. I could do this manually (HTP.p processing), but would prefer to have the pagination and other features the product provides.
Can any suggest a solution here?
Thank you,

Guess I will look at customizing the HTML layout, or doing it via htp.p output. My main goal is getting reports for the users, and it works well with the PDF out option with BI Publisher..

Custom report layout, works in BI Publ. Desktop preview, not in apex

Hi
I've usually haven't had any problems using custom RTF-files made with BI Publ. Desktop, but here goes: I've had a problem with this one template in different apex-installs and different versions; never got it working.
The funny thing is; when I create a Report Query through apex, XML is generated for download. I then load this XML as sample data in BI Publ. desktop (MS-Word), and make my report. I then preview the file as PDF - and this works like a charm.
The query is also very simple.
However, when I try to access the report through Apex: I just get an empty .pdf-file.
Any tips/suggestions?
Best regards,
Vidar

Solution found: template contained a %-character, replaced it with %25 (which is rendered as a % by BI Publisher). This is a reported bug.

Thanks Dimitri,
just incase someone else didn't see my edit of original post:
"Solution found: template contained a %-character, replaced it with %25 (which is rendered as a % by BI Publisher). This is a reported bug."
So the data was OK, but the template wasn't.
Cheers,
