Customization form at top of screen populate report results at bottom of screen????

I'm not sure that I was clear on my other question.
Is it possible to develop a customization form and its report on the same page?
Here is the scenario. We want the customization form on the top of the Portal page, and then we want the results of the query form (the report results) to populate in the bottom of the Portal page. The customer desires this so they can still see what information they queried on to get the specified report results.
Does anyone know a way to do this or has anyone successfully developed it?

Hope this is the same as :-

The customization form portlet would need to pass the parameter(s) to the other portlet. You may want to check out the parameter passing portlet samples in the PDK. The Smart Web Services Portlets work in a similar way too.
If you want end users to show what their previously set parameters were, the customization portlet should read the previously passed parameters (along with the report portlet) and show them.
You may also consider building a report using the wizards. Components can take parameters very easily through the Portal 9.0.2 (Oracle9iAS v2) page parameters feature.

Creating a screen in report program and calling that screen in program.

Hi,
I have a report program and I want to give output in different screen.
can any one tell me how to create a screen in executable program and calling that screen in program in END-OF-SELECTION for displaying results.
Thanks a lot.
Kiran

Hi,
Open your program in SE80. Right click on your program. Click CREATE->Screen menu. This will allow you to create screen for the program.
In the End-of-selection event call the screen using the commands CALL SCREEN or LEAVE TO SCREEN or SET SCREEN.
CALL SCREEN

Hide Bind Variable in the Customization form of a Report

I have a report where I set the bind variable default using a API call. I do not want the user to change the value. How do I keep the text box for the bind variable value from showing????
Thanks,
Linda

Hi,
It is not possible to hide a bind variable from appearing in the customization form. You can run the report directly with the
parameters and not take the user to the customization screen.
Say you have a bind variable dept in a report new_report then the url the user should use will be like this
http://mydomain/pls/portal30/portal30.new_report.show?p_arg_names=dept&p_arg_values=10
Thanks,

Passing a parameter to aReport Customization Form

I have a report that has a default view and a customized view. The default view has a button that allows the user to customize the report by showing the same report in show_parms mode. This allows them to sort and break on different fields. I would like to send the same parameter sent to the default view to the version generated by the run button on the customization form. I just can't fiqure out how to do it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Linda

Martin,
Thank you for responding. I will certainly keep in mind the way you solved the problem. But I actually solved it myself with the following technique.
STEPS
1. Created a link to the Reports Customization form from the Report.
2. Captured the value of the parameter sent through the URL to the bind variable for the report.
3. Set the parameter value to a global variable using the Session storage API=wwsto_api_session.
4. Retrieved the value of the global variable by setting the default value in the "Customization Form Display Options" tab of the report.
In the Report add the following PL/SQL Code....
--Location: Additional PL/SQL Code
--Attribute: ... after displaying the header
declare
l_store portal30.wwsto_api_session;
l_param_value varchar2(4);
begin
--(#2)TStudy is the parameter name passed through the URL and the name of the bind variable in the SQL Command
l_param_value := portal30.wwv_name_value.get_string(l_arg_names,
l_arg_values, 'Tstudy','',1);
--(#1) Add Link to the Reports Customization Form
htp.p ('<CENTER>');
htp.p('<font class=portletheading2> CUSTOMIZE</font>');
htp.p ('</CENTER>');
htp.br;
--(#3)Store Parameter Value sent to the bind variable
l_store := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session ('MYPORTAL', 'MYReport');
l_store.set_attribute ('PValue', l_param_value);
l_store.save_session;
END;
--(#4) Default Value in "Customization Form Display Options" for TStudy
#portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYPORTAL', 'MYReport').get_attribute_as_varchar2('PValue')
?????My Last Question - How do I hide the prompt for the bind variable. I don't want the user to change this value after I went to such trouble to set it???????
Thanks again,
Linda Gowen

Pass a parameter from a report to a customization form of another report

Hello,
I want to pass a parameter value from a report to the customization form of another report and display it in the text field in the customization form as a default value. I have 2 variables in the customization form and in one of them, I would like to display the default value from a previous report.
Thank you
Jayasree

1. go to the manage component screen of the report
2. open the package body (pl/sql source)
3. search for 'procedure show_parms'
4. scroll down till you find
-- call to parameter form rendering engine
5. copy the procedure call below it
a) you will have to pass <PORTAL_SCHEMA>.wwv_utlglobl.RUN_AS_NORMAL to p_mode
b) remove the parameters p_reference_path, p_redirect_url, p_exec_mode, p_page_url ( or you can pass null to them)
c) 'p_parm_names' will contain your 2 parameters
d) you can pass values to 'p_parm_values' which you want to be displayed in the parameter forms.
6. you can call this procedure from a dynamic page and link the dynamic page to your first report

Two LOVs in same report customization form causes problems

My report includes two parameters which are set by the user using dynamic LOVs in the customization form. The report used to only have one parameter and this worked fine. After including the second one only one of the LOVs work as they should. The second one doesn't trigger a value to be sent to the report. Working separately the second parameter/LOV also works as it should.
The code:
SELECT distinct ID, STILLING, F_DATO, STILLING_NAA, DATO
FROM JOBBSOKNADER
WHERE STILLING in :lov_stillinger
union
SELECT distinct A.ID, A.STILLING, A.F_DATO, A.STILLING_NAA, A.DATO
FROM JOBBSOKNADER A, JOBBINT_KOBL B
WHERE A.ID = B.JOBBSOKNADER_ID
AND A.STILLING = '(apen soknad)'
and B.INT_ID in :lov_interessefelt

Hi,
Are you trying to use dependant LOVs i.e second LOV depends on the value selected in the first LOV. If you are trying that, then reports does not support that. You have this facility only in forms.
If I have understood wrong, then please give me the query you used for the LOVs
Thanks,
Sharmila

Dependant LOVs on Customization form of a report

Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.0
Database Version: 8.1.7.3
Hi
Our problem is that we've created a report component which includes two bind variables. These bind variables are chosen on the customization form through LOVs. The second LOV needs to be dependant on the first. Here's the code of the report and LOVs:
REPORT
select * from SHARE_DATA A, SHARE_INSTRUMENTS B, COMPANIES C, INDUSTRIES D
where D.SYSTEM_ID = :Industry
and C.SYSTEM_ID = :Company
and C.SYSTEM_ID = A.CPY_SYSTEM_ID
and A.SIN_SYSTEM_ID = B.SYSTEM_ID
and C.IND_SYSTEM_ID = D.SYSTEM_ID
where bind variables :Industry and :Company are linked to the following LOVs
LOV_INDUSTRIES
select (INDUSTRY_NAME||' '||SECTOR_NAME) industry_sector, (SYSTEM_ID)
from INDUSTRIES
order by industry_sector
LOV_COMPANIES
select A.NAME name, A.SYSTEM_ID
from COMPANIES A
where IND_SYSTEM_ID = :Industry
order by name
LOV_COMPANIES is dependant on LOV_INDUSTRIES.
We receive the following error message when opening up the customization form:
COMBOBOX LOV ERROR:
LOV: "APP_ACIA.LOV_COMPANIES"
Parse Message: Parse as pre-set global: "ACIA".
Find Message: LOV is of type DYNAMIC (LOV based on SQL query).
Query: "select A.NAME name, A.SYSTEM_ID from COMPANIES A where IND_SYSTEM_ID = :Industry order by name "
wwpre_utl.get_path_id: The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1088240437
wwpre_utl.get_path_id: The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1088240437
wwpre_utl.get_path_id: The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1088240437
wwpre_utl.get_path_id: The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1088240437

Hi,
The error is thrown because the lov is not able to substitute the value for the bind variable. The substitution is not happening
because depandant lovs are not supported in Portal Reports.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Customize the QBE report customization form

Does anyone have some ideas about how to customize the QBE report customization form
(e.g take off the "case sensitive check box" or "format mask" .. etc)
thanx

repost the above msg.
What I'm trying to do is to show only the column displayable options to portal users and hide the other cutomize sections.

Use of report's customization form

Can I add a report's customization form to a content area as an application component?
I mean, I would like to use a customization form in a content area style (with the same nav bar, with the same banners and layout). It's a little inconvinience that all of my forms and reports are displayed in content area forms, except ones that need customization form.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the hint, because I have the same task to perform (display customization form first).
I created a PL/SQL item, in Primary Item Attributes I included the PL/SQL code:
begin
PORTAL30.ARTICLE_SELECT_FORM.show_parms;
end;
In the PL/SQL Execute Options, I selected "Public (PORTAL30_PUBLIC)". The PL/SQL item works fine as long as I'm logged on as the PORTAL30 user. When I log on as an end-user, WWV-12600 appeares (insufficient privileges).
What exactly do I have to grant - and where? Balaji said "grant execute on this package to public" - could you please tell me where and how to do this (on database level or within Portal)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Calling javascript function from report customization form

I have been unable to call any user-defined javascript function from Portal Report Customization forms.
Even a simple Message Box function doesn't work. I've been placing my code in the ..after header PL/SQL section for the report customization form.
htp.p('<script type="javascript">');
htp.p('function MsgBox(message){');
htp.p('alert(message);}');
htp.p('</script>');
htp.p('See if it works');
I have verified in plain html that my syntax is fine. Even the syntax rendered by portal is correct:
<script type="javascript">
function MsgBox(message){
alert(message);}
</script>
See if it works
Despite this, you will get a javascript error that an Object is expected, MsgBox not defined. Clearly from the script above MsgBox is defined.
I have tried any number of calls to user defined functions and can't get anything to work. However, calling native functions like 'alert' works fine ( ie
See if it works
Anyone know how I can call a user defined javascript function in a Portal Report Customization form?

Try changing the code
htp.p('<script type="javascript">');
to
htp.p('<script language="javascript">');
Thanks

Insert, save, etc.. button's not showed on customize form of QBE report.

Hi,
I've created a QBE report with all button's enabled in the customize form, when testing this with the
provider customize link the button's are shown and I can perform an insert etc...
When this QBE report-portlet is added to my rootpage and I go to the customize link everything is shown
except the button's ??? what am I doing wrong ?
Luc De pauw

Hi,
This is because it is the customize of the portlet. The customize of a portlet only supports the Apply, OK and Cancel buttons. Hence the QBE cannot support Insert in the customize. They are the full page options. The customize is to change the parameters of the report that control the output of the report. It cant be used to insert into a table. The Apply and ok do the same the thing that save does. It saves the customizations for the user.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Report customization form only posts default settings

I am currently on version 3.0.9.
We have problems with reports generated with the wizard where settings in the customization form return to default when posted. The problem only happens when the report is viewed as a portlet. It works fine when it's run in full page mode.

I have experienced the same problem with other default parameters also. I used the workaround for maximum rows in portlet. I defined a contstant if the Page Parameters for the maximum rows.
I did NOT find a work around for Break fields in Reports.
If anybody can tell me how to fix the "bug" or has a workaround I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Passing parmeter from report to customize form thru link

I am using Portal 3.0 with the Oracle 9iAS. I have created a reportA with a column named INDT. The value in this column is linked to the customization report of another reportB. reportB has a bind variable called :B_INDT, created to receive the INDT value from the link
(FROM SCHEMA.TABLE
....WHERE
INDT = :B_INDT)
When I edit this link in reportA, the parameter does not appear. I only get User parameters and System parameters fields. I am trying to pass the INDT value that is clicked on in reportA through the link to the biNd variable field, :B_INDT, in the customization form of reportB to retrieve all records with that INDT value.

Hi,
When you link to a custmization form you will not be able to link to the bind variable. You can link to a bind variable only when you use the component and not the component's customization form.
You can link to the component and map the bind variable and I think your requirement can be achieved.
Thanks,
Sharmila
