Dashboard on APEX

I am trying to create a dynamic dashboard in APEX. Basically when my dashboard page displays, I need to open up more smaller pages on top of the page in different windows (so the user can move them around or resize them).
What is the best way to open up multiple pages (different windows) when a specific page loads in APEX? Should I be using:
popUp('f?p=&APP_ID.:ZIP:&SESSION.::NO:::');
Thanks

seems to me that Branching without a button could help you... i.e. e.g. button redirecting to URL "javascript:window.open(f?....)" can help you.
just do no forget that you'll probably need a special page template for opening small separate window. I use a special simple template for page optimized for mobil/PDA for example.

Can APEX produce report output similar to "Oracle Discover report"

Hi All:
We are having some Oracle Discover reports and I like to see whether we can deliver the same report format in APEX 3.1.2.
We got a table which stores sales detailed information. The table looks like:
Division Ln Of Business Year Month Amount
================================
KA Computer 2008 12 1234.67
KA Computer 2008 11 4455
KA Desk 2008 12 9999
KE Phone 2008 12 34566.89
KE Service 2008 12 343434
We have an Oracle discover report built on top of this detail information table. The output (HTML format) looks like:
==============================================================
Net Sales Report As of <SYSDATE>
Year: 2008
Month: 09
Sales Forecast Variance
Dvision Ln of Business
KA Computer 10000 90000 -80000
Desk 20000 10000 10000
Service 30000 30000 0
KE Phone 40000 40000 0
Service 50000 60000 -10000
150000 230000 -70000 (This is summary information)
================================================================
Basically, this summary sales report is reviewed by executive team on daily basis. And it show all summary information break by division, line of business etc.
Can you APEX deliver the same report output like Oracle discover report? I don't want use interactive report format. (You can't expect company CEO to manually summary the data). The report should already summarized when ECO logins to APEX.
If you can show me an example how to do it, I would greatly appreciate.
BTW, has anyone compare the advantage and disadvantage between APEX report and Oracle Discover report? A white paper would be great for the difference.
Thanks in advance!
Kevin

You can create almost any kind of dashboard using apex but apex is not a tool comparable to discoverer. There are also some limitations where it doesn't make sense to try to solve someting using apex and where discoverer is simply better. Apex wasn't made to replace discoverer. Your requirement sounds fairly simple to me and I would say yes, apex can do that for you.

Accessing 3 or 4 databases tables through apex.

Hi There,
I have a requirement, I have to create few dashboards on apex and each dashboard corresponds to different databases.
For example:
I will have a list of databases name in the first page of apex (or it could be tab name) and when I click on the specific database name, it should go to a page which has some reports based on the tables of that database like wise if I click on the other database name, it should go to a page which has some reports based on the tables of that database and so on...
Is it possible to access different databases through Apex?
If yes could you please share some documents or links demonstrating it.
Please help!!
Thanks in advance,
Pushpesh Pallav

Thank you Scott.
The other challenge I have is all the databases are on different different VPN and due to some reason I can't install all the VPN's on the apex server.
Now if I connect the apex to the other databases using dblink, it will give error as VPN will not be connected.
Is there any way the VPN's will be connected dynamically through apex or without VPN we could access the databases through apex??

Pushpesh Pallav

I have followed the steps to the last letter using: Data Loading and the Oracle Database Cloud Service
What I have done on the dashboard and APEX:
I changed the password of the SFTP user.
I have created a new user on APEX that belongs to the SQL Developer Group and changed the 'Require change on Password on First Use' to NO before creating the user
SQL Developer:
I set the database username to the new user I created in APEX
I set the database URL to the URL I used to reach the APEX page...https://databasetrial1875-******.db.us1.oraclecloudapps.com/apex/
I set the SFTP username to the username listed next to 'Service SFTP User Name' on the dashboard
I set the SFTP hostname to: sftp.us1.cloud.oracle.com
I left the port set to 22
When I login on SQL Developer to database, I use the password for the user I created in APEX
Thanks in advance to all who help!

Hi,
You have to use the admin account to add the admin role to the developer account. Can you please try this and let me know of your feedback.
The settings you added look good, and the you have the latest version of Sql DEVELOPER , ...so this should be an issue.
Maybe you have some firewall setting on your computer, that are blocking the connection?
If , after checking all of the above you still have an issue, please contact oracle support via the chat on the cloud.oracle.com and ask the engineer to open a Service Request under your name.
Thanks,
Flori

Need APEX Oracle EBS Dashboard Fast!!!

Hello;
The problem I have is that my users need quick and easy access to summary information from EBS. So I need to put up a Dashboard into Oracle EBS (11.5.10) on Oracle RDBMS 10.2.0.4. I am currently using a second database with DBLINKS to get some data out. I was hoping to find someone that has done this and could share some of the "Cool" SQL for their reports and graphs that their users love. One thing that come to mind is a "Department Managers" portal that shows money charged to their department by month/quarter/YTD by category.
I am intrested in any ideas, Thanks!

What I'd suggest is to look at some of Oracle's analytics in a vision or test instance. A lot of those analytics are built using materialized views. Those should give you a leg up.

Apache URL redirect causes APEX to point to the wrong images folder

Hello All,
I am using the following in httpd.conf
Redirect / http://hostname/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard
When I try accessing APEX the application can't locate the image folder. For example instead of looking for e2.gif in
http://hostname/i/e2.gif
it's looking for the images in
http://hostname/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboardi/e2.gif
How do I point APEX to the correct image folder?
Thanks
Fiston

Hi, Fiston
try using RedirectMatch directive
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://hostname/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard
or maybe
RedirectMatch ^/$ /analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard

Call BI Publisher Report in APEX, based on R.T.F Template Layout.

Hi to all respected members of this forum.
Since 18th May (Saturday), I am trying to connect BI Publisher Reports with Oracle Application Express 4.2.2.
My APEX Version = APEX 4.2.2
Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition (Trial) = 11.1.1.6.0
Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 32 Bit = 11.117.0.79
For this purpose what I did?
Firstly I downloaded Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition 11.7 and when I started Installation I came to know that "R.C.U (Repository Creation Utility)" is required during installation and I don't have that so, left this idea.
Than I downloaded Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition (Trial) from www.oracle.com and BI Publisher Desktop Edition for Templates because there is no facility in BI Publisher Trial Edition to design Report Templates. I have installed both successfully and created a report as per my requirement.
Now, I want to call that report in Oracle APEX but I am unable to do that.
I followed http://dgielis.blogspot.de/2007/12/call-bi-publisher-report-from-apex.html but the link which is shown in picture no: 03, is not available, so this didn't help me.
Then, I followed Oracle BI Publisher Blog https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/apex_users_why_not_integrate_w which discuss to call BI Publisher Report in APEX based on "Generic Report Layout". This done successfully but still I am unable to call BI Publisher Report .
Then I found this type of script
http://localhost/xmlpserver/Guest/Reporting_Channel.xdo&id=FGFC&password=****&xt=Reporting_Channel&xf=pdf
to call BI Publisher Report in APEX but this also failed.
Please help me to understand that how to call "BI Publisher Report in APEX, based on R.T.F Template Layout.
Thanks in Advance.

Are you trying to have multiple sql queries and have multiple sections displaying different data sets ? Or with one single query but display it in different ways in a single report ?
You can create one single query as Report Query in APEX and associate it with a BIP report layout. So you can achieve a Dashboard layout with the report query/layout.

Put BI Publisher report in dashboard without OBIEE

Hi All,
I created a BI Publisher report, unfortunately, we don't have OBIEE, I can create a button to call the report from APEX, but how do I change it to dashboard report without OBIEE?
Appreciate your help on this,

Choosing the columns for a Bi Publisher report in APEX

A user wants to select each column in a pdf report printed in APEX, it is easy to make a report with bi bublisher but how can i change the columns at run time.

Thanks for the link. I am reading it for better understanding.
I just came to know from SR that, In order to see the BI Publisher in the Presentation Server list of values, we have to embed the BI Publihser report inside an OTBI Dashboard.
So we need to create a 'Dashboards' folder (It is must only then we are able to see it via fusion apps. to select and embed), then Dashboard and add the desired report to this dashboard. Now we can navigate to this dashboard, open it and select the page to embed it.
Might be useful for the ppl who faces similar issue. Thanks.

Did you keep any kind of external references to your pages/reports? From what it looks like, one of your report regions exceeds 2500 characters and APEX is having a hard time crunching it. See if you can find that page, then export that page, delete the region, and import the page on it's own later.
Not sure why it would be such a small area, though. I usually don't have any trouble until I hit 32K characters.

Thanks for the link, I did search a little while before making the original post. I guess I wasn't searching for the right thing though.
The method I found listed in here seems to work in IE but not Firefox. It could just be a caching issue though I'm not real familiar with firefox and don't really know how to get it to forget that it's been to a page already.
I also updated the link listed above to ask about any changes in the last upgrade related to this.
This was related to caching in firefox and it worked fine after I logged out of my apex.oracle.com account and cleared the personal cache in firefox and then started over.

Apex and database links

Hi,
How does Apex perform using database links. We are currently on version 3.1.1.00.09 of Applicatiion Express and have all of our data in one database. We will soon be upgrading our environment to Oracle Database Appliance. We are thinking about splitting our staging area out of our existing database. We use Apex for our dashboard reporting. We are in hopes to upgrade to latest version of Apex. If we split our database up we will have to use database links to access data. How does Apex perform using database links. Will our Interactive reports work? Will performance degrade? Wanted to know your thoughts on that.
Pam

Having used such a model for several years, I'd confirm that it is possilble to make it work, however it may not be optimal, performance-wise (depending on your data model).
Typically speaking, if you are just querying your external database "straight" (i.e. where all of the tables being queried are on the remote DB), you shouldn't notice a significant degradation in performance. The problems can come in when you either include "local" tables in your queries (in which case you need to decide which site should be 'driving') or where DML is involved (in which case the driving site defaults to the local DB) - your execution plans can change quite significantly and often for the worse.
I have tried a few strategies to mitigate against this, including converting some DML statements to be based on pipelined table functions instead of views, creating local Materialized Views of commonly accessed data (usually aggregated in some manner), or caching result sets (i.e. using the built-in apex caching function) for something more flexible but ultimately it'd be easier if everything was sitting on the same DB.
