Determining the parameters passed in a Discoverer Report through SQL query

Hi,
I want to know the parameters passed in a Discoverer Report through a SQL query.
i.e if we pass the Report name (Workbook Name) then we get the paramaters used .
Is there any way we can do this.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanx in advance
Ankur

Hi
You can indeed get the parameters from the EUL5_QPP_STATS table, although they are extremely difficult to get at.
Look at this script:
SELECT
QS.QS_DOC_OWNER    USER_NAME,
QS.QS_DOC_NAME     WORKBOOK,
QS.QS_DOC_DETAILS WORKSHEET,
TRUNC(QS.QS_CREATED_DATE) DOC_DATE,
*(LENGTH(TO_CHAR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID)))+1)/9 ITEMS,*
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),1, 6)) ITEM1,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),10, 6)) ITEM2,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),19, 6)) ITEM3,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),28, 6)) ITEM4,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),37, 6)) ITEM5,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),46, 6)) ITEM6,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),55, 6)) ITEM7,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),64, 6)) ITEM8,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),73, 6)) ITEM9,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),82, 6)) ITEM10,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),91, 6)) ITEM11,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),100,6)) ITEM12,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),109,6)) ITEM13,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),118,6)) ITEM14,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),127,6)) ITEM15,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),136,6)) ITEM16,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),145,6)) ITEM17,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),154,6)) ITEM18,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),163,6)) ITEM19,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),172,6)) ITEM20
FROM
EUL5_QPP_STATS QS--,
--   APPS.FND_USER          USR
WHERE
--   QS.QS_DOC_OWNER = '#' || USR.USER_ID AND
*(LENGTH(TO_CHAR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID)))+1)/9 < 21*
AND QS.QS_CREATED_DATE > '01-JAN-2007'
What this does is return the first 20 items used in a worksheet. It does this by passing 6 characters at a time out of a cusror made up by concatenating QS_DBMP0 to QS_DBMP7 to get the Dimensions and then again by concatenating QS_MBMP0 to QS_MBMP7 to get the Measures. Having got that cursor it then takes each 6 characters and passes them to a nibble algorithm to decode the actual item. The code is extremely difficult to follow.
I mention this because other fields in the same table are QS_JBMP0 to QS_JBMP7 which I believe are Joins, and QS_FBMP0 to QS_FBMP7 which look like Filters (aka parameters) being used. I think the QS stands for Query Statistics and BMP for bitmap. Somewhere in the EUL5.SQL script is the key to unlocking this.
Good luck. The reason I say this will become apparent when you look inside EUL5.SQL.

How to handle the OK button of the parameters prompt of a crystal report

Hi,
how to handle the OK button of the parameters prompt of a crystal report in vba.NET?
I want to use the parameter prompt from the crystal report itself and I want to know when the report is ready. I need to export programatically by sending email to a list of employees after the parameters has been set. The emails I send depends on the results of the report.
Im using a CrystalReportViewer control in VS2010 and Crystal Report for VS2010 v13.0.1.220.

Right. But the parameter screen is driven by the viewer. Unless you create your own parameter screen and pass the parameters to the report via code.
Another thing I am not sure about:
"Then by code I want to read all the employees id from the report and send email to them with specified pages of the report. (1 page per employee)"
How do you plan on reading the employee ID from the report? I am not aware of any API that will read a value in a report so that you can then decide what page to send to whom.
I think you're approaching this kinda backwards. A question to ask is; can you do what you are trying to do in code in the CR designer? If not, using APIs will not work either. I suspect your approach should be a report that uses an employee filter. Run the report for employee x, get the report populated with the data for that employee and email it. Repeat for employee x1, employee x2, etc.

Hi All,
We are also having similiar type of error in our portal.
com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge##com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge
#######SAPEngine_System_Thread[impl:5]_13##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Plain###
The cluster server element 125898350 is not added in the EP cluster context,
because prtbridge on 125898350 is stopped or not yet started
(maybe the server is starting or shuting down).
We have implemented the FPN using RRA.
This error comes only for few users when they navigate in Portal. After clearing the cache, it works for all. Kindly help us to resolve this issue.

Report from SQL Query -Excel format only show the first page

Hi,
I have some Reports from SQL Query. In the display options, I choose Excel as default format. The Excel documents only show the first page. If I choose HTML as default format, it shows every rows.
Please advise on how to have a complete Excel document as HTML format does.
Thanks a lot.
Lina Han

I beleive when you export Oracle reports to Excel it is the Data that is transferred along with Column Names.
You cannot export the variables defined on the report.
Hence you will not be able to export the Footer to excel. (Still looking into it will let you know if i find anything interesting)

Report from sql query invalid date condition

Hi, I created a Reports From SQL Query. My sql is like
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where mydate > :p_date1 and mydate < :p_date2"
I am using portal with turkish and english option. If I pass p_date paramaters 'dd-MON-yyyy' format
(for example p_date1 = 23-MAR-2003 p_date2 = 26-APR-2003) in english mode portlet is return correct result,
in turkish mode 'No Row Returned'. I changed my sql statement with
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where to_date(mydate,'dd/mm/yyy') > to_date(:p_date1,'dd/mm/yyy') and to_date(mydate) < to_date(:p_date2,'dd/mm/yyyy')"
and I pass p_date parameters 'dd/mm/yyyy' format (for example p_date1 = 23/03/2003 p_date2 = 26/04/2003)
but now turkish and english mode No row returned.
How may I write correct sql statament. My database NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY and NLS_LANGUAGE=TURKISH.
thanks.

Hi,
Try this for turkish mode:
Case 1: the 'mydate' column has a kind of a char data type (like char, varchar or varchar2)
and a value like '30/03/2003'
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') > :p_date1
and
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') < :p_date2"
Case 2: the mydate column has a date type:
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
mydate > :p_date1
and
mydate < :p_date2"
In both cases use the following parameter values:
p_date1 = 23/03/2003
p_date2 = 26/04/2003
This should work
Thanks

Query based Report (Reports From SQL Query)

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with a report. I need your help.
I am creating a Report From SQL Query (Portal) with some arguments passed at runtime. I am able to view the output, if the query returns few rows ( arount 1000 rows). But for some inputs it needs to generate >15000 records, at this point the page is getting time out (i think!) and showing error page. I am able to execute query from the SQL Plus console ot using TOAD editor. Here the query is not taking more that 2 mins time to show the result.
If i am executing from Portal i observed that, once i give the appropriate input and hit submit button a new oracle process is getting created for the query on UNIX (I am usign "TOP" command to check processes). The browser page will be shown error page after 5 minutes (i am assuming session time out!) , but on the backend the process will be executed for more than 30 mins.
Can i increase a timeout of portal page, how i can do this?
The data returned as a result of the query is sized more than 10 MB. Is caching this much data is possible by the browser page? is the returned data is creating any problem here.
Please help me to find appropriate reasone for the failure?

Can you post the URL that is giving you the page not found error ? I am not sure if I can be of much help though.
In order to increase your chances to get a reply you should also post your question in the Portal Forum - Oracle Application Server Portal

There could be a variety of reasons for the delayed processing of this report. That includes parameter settings for that page, cache settings, network configurations, etc.
- explore best optimization for your query;
- evaluate portal for best performance configuration; you may follow this note (Doc ID: *438794.1* ) for ideas;
- third: for that particular page carrying that report, you can use caching wisely. browser cache is neither decent for large files, nor practical. instead, explore the page cache settings that portal provides.
- also look for various log files (application.log and apache logs) if you are getting any warnings reflecting on some kind of processing halt.
- and last but not the least: if you happen to bring up a portal report with more than 10000 rows for display then think about the usage of the report. Evaluate whether that report is good/useful for anything?

Adding update and delete buttons to a Report from SQL Query

There is an option when creating a QBE to add update and delete
links which i find quite useful, but this option doesn't seem to
be possible on a Report from SQL Query. Do i need to do
something special to add them? is the option located in a
different place?

Hi,
You can only add Update ,Delete in QBE Reports,
there is no option in Portal which can be used to
have these buttons in the Reports from Query Wizard or
Report from SQL Query.

Getting zero-sized reply error when running report from SQL query

Hi,
I have a Report from SQL Query in Portal. When I select Excel in Output Format and then run the report, it works properly, but when I select HTML in Output Format, the report works if the rows returned are not so many (I've been able to display the report for up to 701 rows), but when I try selecting a value from the LOV that selects many rows, I get the following error:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: <data suppressed>
The following error was encountered:
Zero Sized Reply
Squid did not receive any data for this request.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Why does the number of rows returned affect the report this way?
Thanks,
Lorena

Problem comes when any of the filter is applied in any one of the cases selected from the GUI.Do you mean that the problems only shows when you run the report in your browser via 9iAS?
Which version are you using?
Can you post the before report trigger?

Width of field in Report From SQL Query

I have created a report from SQL query with 15 columns being selected. However, no matter what column width and column type (pixel, char, percent) I enter in the column formatting tab of the report, I cannot get the report to format the column to the width I desire. It is always a fixed width. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Char (used for ASCII format)
Displays the output in the specified number of
characters per line. For example, if you enter 20
in Width, the report displays 20 characters of the
column data in each line. If the number of
characters per line exceeds the specified
number, the remaining characters are wrapped
to the next line.
Pixel
Displays the output in the specified number of
pixels per row. For example, if you enter 10 in
Width, the column data displays 10 pixels of
data per line of the displayed table.
Percent
Displays the output in the specified percentage
of the table. For example, if you enter 25 in
Width, the column data displays in 25% of the
displayed table.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Can Portal Report from SQL Query use where column IN (:bind_variable)

I would like to create a portal report from sql query with IN (:bind_variable) in the where clause. The idea is that the user would enter comma-separated or comma-quote-separated values for the bind_variable. I have tried this several ways but nothing seems to work. Can this be done?

Performance of OBIEE report whereas SQL query behind it executed in 1-2 min

Facing lot of performance issues in OBIEE reports, whereas SQL query behind the report fetch data in 2-3 minutes. Reprot take around 1-2 hrs. Can anyone help to resolve this please?

(my 2c worth)... if the physical query runs for a reasonably short time but the report takes much longer to return it suggests the rendering process (ie. pivot view) is lagging.
To test this theory, go into Answers and remove all views from the request and leave a simple table view on the compound view. Run the report and the report should return around the same time the physical request takes to run because the table view is a very raw, un aggregated rendering process. Table views are nice and fast. If that works then you can focus on tuning your other views, ie. Pivot view. I've seen a simple pivot view take minutes to render what looks like a simple report because the underlying recordset is quite large.
I hope this helped. another quick trick you could try is applying aggregation in the formulas to aggregate things at the physical sql level so the returning result set isn't 5,000. depends what you're up to with the end report.
