Date Ranges: Page Items or 'Input Parameters'?

Hi,
What is the best way to implement an user input date range qualifier in worksheets?
So far I've only been able to achieve this by using item classes on a date field. Very messy.
Anyone else doing this?

Thanks Gveeden.
How do you setup your date parameters?
Are they 'conditions'? If so, how do you let the Users specify values in User Edition?
Hope you can help out.
Thanks already,
Peter Verhoeven.

Reset data picker page item by selection page item in Apex

Hi,
Need to create a report based on date ranges and for this created a interactive report and two page item datepicker fields P15_fromdate and p15_todate. Report works fine with this criteria.But user wants one more field quarter(P15_quarter), When they select the quarter the range values has to get reset and as to get applied to report.
Issue here is unable to find a way to set the page range item values based on the quarter field selection
Need help how to reset the page item fields.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Ligon,
You're right to think this is pretty laborious stuff. A co-worker wanted to do the same, to make sure users didn't lose a change when clicking Cancel. I suggested he look at calculating the query checksum before and after, which he tried. But it got very cumbersome very fast and he ended up dropping the idea. He's fairly new with Apex, but he's also a quick study, so it's not like he's a novice coder.
I don't have his implementation details anymore to even share with you.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Good luck,
Stew

SkillBuilders Modal 2.0 plugin with a page-item button - pass parameters

Hi all.
I have an employee table, which is connected with a 1:N relationship to two tables: Emp_Tech_Fields and Emp_Kids.
I've created a form to update / insert employee data, and I want to add two modal pages: one for kids and one for tech_fields. I think this will be the most usable way for this form.
I've created two page-item buttons on that form, which open the respective modal pages successfully, but I can't dynamically pass them the EMP_ID in order to filter the data in them.
Iv'e uploaded an example to http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=64921:1:6401028834215::::: guest / gu12est3
Document Types is a report with a link-column which opens a modal page with data filtering, as it should.
Employees (click an edit link) has two buttons: Kids, which open the modal form, but does not filter, and Tech Fields, which is filtered hard-coded with EMP_ID = 1 (see in the dynamic action definition).
As far as I understand, this should be something quite easy and day-to-day, so I don't know why I did not find a way to do this. What am I missing?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Dovi.

Hi Dovi,
I had a look at your application and can see the link your using for the kids and tech fields modal isn't passing the session ID which is why it is asking you to log in again.
Below is an example URL for your issue, it isn't tested though.
f?p=&APP_ID.:20:&APP_SESSION.:::19:P20_EMP_ID:&P19_EMP_ID.:: You will need to change the page numbers of the pages and items to match the page numbers of yours. This is using the statically defined url inside the plugin itself, I have also only done this in an earlier version of plugin but believe the functionality is very similar.
Hope this helps.

Max Date in Page item

Has anyone figured out how to get a date field to default to max date when used as a page item. I have select max(timestamp), create an item timetwo that -= max(timestamp), you name it we have abused and used it. Nothing seems to work.. I am sure we are missing the obvious. Any help appreciated.

How to extract data from MBO which has input parameters

Dear All,
I have a requirement to show the material price and material stock.I have created MBOs which takes Plant and Material as its input.
I have to make an android native application which will show the material stock and material price according to the input Material and Plant.
So how can I extract data from these MBOs ?

Have you already got the BAPIs details? If yes please check their structures and see how they are related to get the desired output. You should consult an abaper for this requirement.

Setting page items from Stored Procedure/Package

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set the values of page items from stored pl/sql code. I have some reasonably complex biz logic that I want to package and store in the database (not just call an anonymous pl/sql block through a page process). However within that stored code I want to set items on my page based on input parameters, other items on the page or calculations eg.
I want to do something like:
:P6_INT_ACC_START_DT := p_bony_auction_dt + 1;
when trying to compile this code I get invalid bind variable error
I also tried:
V('P6_INT_ACC_START_DT') := p_bony_auction_dt + 1;
but got invalid use of V function error
Any ideas?
Thanks, Robert

Call apex_util.set_session_state:
apex_util.set_session_state(p_name => 'P6_INT_ACC_START_DT', p_value => p_bony_auction_dt + 1);
...although be aware of date-to-varchar2 conversion and use date format masks explicitly.

Date Range in Query

Hi All,
We have created a query report which we have created as a stored procedure and we are executing the sp in SBO to get the result. However, there is one issue, we have passed the variables in the sp as well as the fms to get the date range, but if we input the date manually, the result shown is incorrect!!
It works fine when we tab on the from date, scroll down and select the date from the cfl!! This is not acceptable to the client. They want to enter the dates manually and not select from the cfl.
Please advise what is wrong here and how to correct this issue?? Is there any limitation of this sort..
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Instead of getting the date as string, try by changing the below declaration part
Declare @datefrom VARCHAR(20)
DECLARE @dateto VARCHAR(20)
by this
Declare @datefrom datetime
DECLARE @dateto datetime
I think, then you need to chenge the same in the SP too

Arangement of Page Items and Regions

I created an APEX page (version 4.0.1.00.03) named Request Edit with many page items for data entry of user requests. The form has a region named Request Edit that holds the data entry page items. Within the region is a region for buttons. There were two addition regions on the page below the buttons named Jobs a report region and Audit a Show/Hide region. The users do not like to scroll the page during data entry so I decided to place many page items into three new Hide/Show regions name Requestor, Recipient, and Service. I defined the regions and then moved the page items to one of the three regions Requestor, Recipient, and Service. When the page is displayed the three new regions displayed after the audit region. I wanted the new regions to display after the Request Number and before the Comments page items. I decide to change the Parent Region in the User Interface properties of the page to Request Edit for the new regions. That moved the three regions above the Audit region but after the Comments page item.
What properties of the three new regions Requestor, Recipient, and Service will position the new regions after the Request Number and before the Comments Page items? Is it necessary to define the Parent Region in the User Interface properties of the page to Request Edit for all of the regions?
To describe visually what I am trying to do imagine the following simplified page:
<Create> <Save>
Request ID: [________]
Requestor Name: [_________]
Recipient Name:[ __________]
Service Type: [____________]
Comments: [____________________]
<Create> <Save>
Jobs Report Region
+Audit Region
I defined three regions and moved the page items to them
<Create> <Save>
Request ID: [________]
Comments: [____________________]
<Create> <Save>
+Requestor
+Recipient
+Service
Jobs Report Region
+Audit Region
After I defined the Parent Region in the User Interface properties of the page to Request Edit it looks something like this:
<Create> <Save>
Request ID: [________]
Comments: [____________________]
+Requestor
+Recipient
+Service
<Create> <Save>
Jobs Report Region
+Audit Region
But I want the new regions to display between the Request ID and Comments page items.
Thank you.

here is how i got someting like that to work with a raoid group.
page HTML header:
<script>
function Show_On_Radio_Value_2(pThis, pThat, pValue, pLabel){
var rv = html_RadioValue(pThis);
var elm = document.getElementById(pThat);
var lbl = document.getElementById(pLabel);
if (rv == pValue) {
html_ShowElement(pThat);
html_ShowElement(pLabel);
} else {
html_HideElement(pThat);
html_HideElement(pLabel); }
}</script>
REGION Footer:
<script>
Show_On_Radio_Value_2('<code>P3_ENT_APPROVAL</code>
','<code>P3_REJECTION_DESC</code>
',"Y",'L_<code>P3_REJECTION_DESC</code>
</script>
I think thats it but it should get you in ther right direction.

Date range by week based on input parameters

Afternoon folks -- I need to produce a report which will be displayed based on weeks.
There are two input parameters: P_FROM_DATE and P_TO_DATE
I need to find the date ranges in weeks starting on THURSDAY and ending on a WEDNESDAY. For example, if my P_FROM_DATE is 01-AUG-2012 and P_TO_DATE is 11-SEP-2012, I need to show the following weeks in this fashion:
02-AUG-2012 - 08-AUG-2012
09-AUG-2012 - 15-AUG-2012
16-AUG-2012 - 22-AUG-2012
23-AUG-2012 - 29-AUG-2012
30-AUG-2012 - 05-SEP-2012
06-SEP-2012 - 12-SEP-2012So, the idea is to start the first THURSDAY following the P_FROM_DATE and end on the WEDNESDAY preceding the P_END_DATE..
Thanks!

Hi,
here's one way:
WITH     params          AS
     SELECT DATE '2012-08-01'     AS p_from_date
     ,     DATE '2012-09-19'     AS p_to_date
     FROM     dual
,     end_points     AS
     SELECT     TRUNC ( p_from_date + 4
                , 'IW'
                ) + 3          AS first_thursday
     ,     TRUNC ( p_to_date + 4
                , 'IW'
                ) - 5          AS last_wednesday
     FROM    params
SELECT     first_thursday + (7 * (LEVEL - 1))     AS week_start_date
,     first_thursday + (7 * LEVEL) - 1     AS week_end_date
FROM     end_points
CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= ( last_wednesday
                  + 1
                  - first_thursday
                  ) / 7
;TRUNC (dt) is the beginning of the ISO week that contains the DATE dt.
The "magic number" 4 is used because the ISO week begins on Monday, 4 days later than your week begins, so
TRUNC ( dt + 4
      , 'IW'
      )is the Monday in the same Thursday-Wednesday week as dt.

Refresh only page item while submitting data from the popup window

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to Apex .....
I have a form with text items as first few entries and then a radio button list and few text items again. On selecting certain radio button I have a popup window which acts as an interface for the next text item in the calling page. The purpose of having the popup window is that the text item following the radio button takes the input with certain character delimiters along with the data. Instead of using delimiters while entering the data I want a meaningful data to be keyed in the popup window and all the string operation to be done as a background process. I have been successful this far. I'm using the below javascript on click of the submit button.
javascript:doSubmit();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
window.close();
On doing this I'm losing the values submitted for the items prior to the radio button(including radio button). Please note, I have a dynamic action set on page load to reset the values. Is it possible to refresh just the page item from the popup window.
Also, I tried excluding the window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH'); from the above javascript. It sets the item with the expected value (viewed it in the session items, however I would like to view the concatenated string on my calling page) but following this there is an insert operation which uses all the necessary items in the form. All values except the value returned from the popup window is populated into the table. Am I missing something.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thank you!!!
Regards,
Ganesh

Value set using Javascript is only in your browser page but is not yet available in the session. This is why the report doesn't return the expected output.
Before refreshing the report you would need to set the session state of this item.
You can set it after you assign the item a new value or before the report is refreshed
For Interactive Reports, this is available built in
you can go to Report Attributes >Advanced Attributes -> Page Items to Submit and specify P2_X1 for the field(and any other page item that the report is dependent on)
For standard reports, you can create a Dynamic Action that is triggered "before refresh" of the report's region, and choose PLSQL as the action types, give a dummy BEGIN NULL END; for the code and specify this item name in the page item to submit field so that it sets the items's value in session.

Date parameters for Date range

Hi,
I got a report with 2 parameters From Date and To Date and i have 2 columns items in the report absence start date and absence end date.
i have to make sure that the date range satisfies all case's
what is the best way that I can these validation rules in discoverer on these dates...?
case's are something like this:
1 (absence start date > from date; absence end date > to date)
2 (absence start date > from date; absence end date < to date)
3 (absence start date < from date; absence end date > to date)
4 (absence start date > from date; absence end date < to date)
Any help would be really appreciated.

Using conditions in Discoverer is just like specifying a where clause in SQL with AND and OR. You should be able to use conditions for what is being described below.
Are you not able to do that using conditions in your report ?

Reports / intranet/ In some detail, the user will input a date range from and 2 and will out put the records in the int

Hello there,
I am totally green in web development.
my goal is to, for the user will input a date range from and
to and will out put the records in the intranet when they press a
button.
However, the good news is: I have experience in programming.
I have written applications for desktop in VB>NET and I
understand RDBMS /sql concepts .
But CF and WEB development is new to me.
My current projects involves in connecting to DB and testing
it. (it works fine)
And outputting reports by to a intranet page. (records)
i need help on how to start this asap. I will even do some
practice at home.
Tools I have at work
• Development server(test)
• Home site.
• Toad for db connection.
• Html reference guide
• Cf dummies book.
How can start my projects.
(ex. Create cf, outputpage?)
seriously, I am new to this.
Thanks.

Well, I had a really nice response with some concepts and
ideas for you to practise on etc, but these dumb forums timed out
and I lost it all
If you want to pop me an email we could probably do a few
exercises together that way - or even by MSN Messenger if you want.

Duplicating Data Sets depending on input parameters

I originally posted this question as part of Oracle Reports but I think its not really an Oracle Report issue, its more an SQL Issue. I am on Oracle 9i.
I need to generate a Report that is based on a maximum of 6 input parameters.
Three of them belong to Customer ID# and 3 belong to Number of Copies that need to be printed on the Report.
Parameters for Customers: P_CUST_ID1, P_CUST_ID2, P_CUST_ID3
Parameters for the Number of Copies: P_N1, P_N2, P_N3
So, at any given point, there could be a maximum of 3 Customer ID's passed to the main query. Here is an example of what the input parameters could look like.
User chose to enter values for Customer ID's 1 and 2 and left it blank for Customer 3.
Customer ID1   1001         Number of Copies   2
Customer ID2   1002         Number of Copies   3
Customer ID3   ----         Number of Copies   -The Query that retrieves data looks something like this. The query below is intended to fetch Customer Home and Office Addresses.
Of course, it is possible that there might be No home or Office Address or both.
SELECT    c.cust_no,
          c.saln||c.first_name||' '||c.last_name cust_name,
          a.address_type,
          a.street,
          a.city||' '||a.province||' '||a.postal_code city,
          '('||a.tel_area||') '||a.tel_number telephone
FROM      customer c, customer_address a
WHERE     c.cust_no = a.cust_no
AND       c.cust_no IN (:P_CUST_ID1, :P_CUST_ID2, :P_CUST_ID3);Based on my query:
Customer ID 1001 has 3 Addresses (2 Home and 1 Office) --> Total number of Records = 3
Customer ID 1002 has 2 Addresses (1 Home and 1 Office) --> Total number of Records = 2
The output should be something like this. I have put a Label Copy1, Copy2 and Copy3 to show
how the data will appear for readability.
Cust No Customer Name      Address Type    Address Line 1         Address Line 2        Telephone

I could have adopted a procedure to use Temporary tables but I really would prefer not going in that direction as there could be quite a few reports that need to be generated in this manner.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Are you getting an error message that starts with "SP"? Those are SQL*Plus errors, that occur before your code is even sent to the database. In extremely old versions of SQL*Plus, a statement cannont begin with the keyword WITH. The best solution is to upgrade SQL*Plus, but you could also re-wqrite the query so WITH is not the first word of the statement. In this case, you could also use in-line views instead of WITH.
I tried to generate duplicate data sets as a Sub-Query like RP suggested and it seems to be working except the ordering seems to be messed up for Mr Robert Green. The correct order should have been Home, Home, Office and then Home, Home, Office again...The order above seems to be what you want, but there are many different reasons why a small set of sample data might just happen to appear in the right order.
Explain why you want that order. If you can say what you want in English, somebody can help you code it in SQL.
I don't recommend any solution that uses UNION. It will be inefficient, and difficult to debug and to maintain.

How get Mailbox Folder Item Count for date range?

How to make query to Exchange 2013 like this:
query ItemCount (specified Mailbox, specified Folder (with subfolders), specified Date Range)?
I find this script for Exchange 2010: http://gsexdev.blogspot.ru/2012/10/item-age-sample-one-reporting-on-item.html
This script dont work for Exchange 2013 ((

I believe you are making the change on both the places in code, as this path version would be different in 2013
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\1.2\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"

How to pass the page item data from tabA to TabB of a discoverer report

I have a discoverer repoort, it is master_detail (Dept-Emp) report
TabA is a master worksheet, which has a page item Deptno
(the data is from a customized query)
TabB is detail report which has a Deptno as the page item
which show the emp detail info on this deptno
(the date is from another customized query).
What I want to do is;
When I change the Deptno in TabA, TabB should automatically change to the deptno of Tab A when I click TabB.
How can I pass the page item deptno from TabA to page item of TabB?
Thanks for your help

Hi.
You are absolutely right, you cannot create a link from Page Item.
My Idea was (and I'm sorry taht I didn't mention it at the beginning) to create one link for each and every column in the report in the TabA.
All these links would be exactly same and pass the Deptno to the TabB.
So the end user can click wherever he wants (all cells on the worksheets have the link to the TabB) and he is always redirected to the TabB with the Department parameter seted to Deptno Page Item from TabA.
As I already said before, it is not exactly what you expected, but it's probably the best you can get out of Plus.
