You can document the program so that the documentation button automatically shows up when you go to Selection screen
when you are in program , in menu
goto-->documentation
write the documentation and save it
then goto selection screen
check the button next to execute button
click on that to check the documentation

Documentation links broken?

The Documentation link on the Database Home Page takes me to a page with links to the Oracle XE documentation.
All of those links seem to be broken.

Yes - I was just about to amend my previous response. All the links from the XE documentation home page are broken.
Interestingly, the OTN site has very recently undegone it's semi-annual redesign. Based on past experience, I've found that the 'improvements' in the OTN site every 6 months often result in 1/2 the links being broken until reported.
I wonder what Oracle's policy is about partners and customers mirroring the docco?

Link in report with SSP enabled

Hey everyone, I have a question here involving programatically generated links in reports from the sql query behind them. How do I make a link to the page (from the report's sql query) that will allow me to change the value of a hidden and protected item (P16_PERSON_CONTACT_ID) without having APEX Session State Protection get angry at me and still protect me from having the user muck with the URL?

David,
Well bind variables are more performant and safer to use in queries. It shouldn't really be a debate on when to use them, you always use them when you can. Here's a quick break down (not a complete list, and should probably be expanded, but should get you going)...
Use bind variable syntax when you're referencing an item:
1. In a report query
2. In PL/SQL code that is stored in the application (as a page level process for example)
Use substitution variable syntax when you're referencing an item:
1. Outside of SQL and PL/SQL but still need the value - this is not always an option (in the HTML Header region of a page or title of a region for example)
Use V and NV functions when you're referencing an item:
1. In PL/SQL code stored outside the application (in a package for example)

Link in Report does not work when run on Citrix

Hello,
we use Crystal Reports (v11) for creating Reports.
Data is based on our CRM system "SuperOffice".
We have several reports and what we did is to add a column that includes a link to SuperOffice.
For example - if I have a list of contacts as a report, then every line has a link to SuperOffice.
If I click this link, the contact in SuperOffice gets open.
This works on lokal pc installations.
But is doesn't work on a citrix server.
If I click the link - nothing happens.
Is that a known problem or does anyone have any ideas for that?
Are there any known problems with links in reports on citrix servers?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Tony

Hi Don,
thank you for fast response.
That is a good advice. We will check that.
The main question is, to which folders etc. does CR needs access?
To explain the situation better: To run the reports we use Crystal Reports Runtime (Version 11.1.1883).
Do you (or anyone else in these forum) know where we could get information about which kinds of access CR Runtime needs to handle with these links?
Regards,
Tony

"edit" link from report to form does not show values

I created a report and an attached form on two different pages. The report is a query combining two tables with outer joins. When I click on the "edit" button on the report, I get forwarded to the form page.
My problem: When I get forwarded to the forms page, I get an empty form, and not the data from the column as expected. The "edit" button behaves more like the "create" button. Anybody an idea what I could change to be able to edit the column data?
Thank you.

I've met the similar problem with previous releases (1.5.0 and 1.5.1) without any objective reason.
As I suggests, sometimes HTMLDB lost current session state. When this occurs, ALL links from reports to it's forms does not transit primary keys. I've just completed application development and I've met this behaviour every months.
As a workaround I found folowwjing process:
Come into administration tab, selet "Report with option to purge current session state". When I purge current session state and re-login to application, all report-form links will start to work.
I don't know, what is the issue, but I met it so soon on my local HTMLDB environment.

Pass parameter from page link to report

How can I pass 3 parameter values from a link on one page to a report or CrystalReportViewer. Report is a CR/VS 2005 web report in C# Parameter fields in the report are: CampaignID BeginDate EndDate So say link page URL looks like this: <a href="http://localhost/reports/campaign_report/default.aspx?CampaignID=61325&BeginDate=1/1/2006&EndDate=1/2/2006" target="_blank" title="http://localhost/reports/campaign_report/default.aspx?CampaignID=61325&BeginDate=1/1/2006&EndDate=1/2/2006">http://localhost/reports/campaign_report/default.aspx?CampaignID=61325&BeginDate=1/1/2006&EndDate=1/2/2006</a> and I want to pass these values to the report and bypass the Parameter Prompt Page.When i run this link the report viewer page says "missing parameters"Do I need to add something to the default.aspx.cs page? -- protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Parameter.Field1 = (CampaignID); Parameter.Value1 = Request.QueryString("CampaignID"); ...?? } --
 Any help would be greatly appreciated? Thank you, Jason 

Â Hi Jason
Â You are correct.Â The Viewer object will not automatically look at the URL and try to assign the values.Â You need to grab these values from the URL and properly assign them to the parameter objects.

Oracle Documentation Links no longer work

I have been trying to access the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 Application Documentation. The Master Index., etc load fines, but when I try to open the Ad,omostratpr's Guide for Oracle Identity Directory, it returns a 404. Being persistent I have tried this over the last 4 hours and it has failed every time.

Just tried the documentation links and they still seem broken. I have just clicked on the link http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14085/toc.htm
and it returns a 404 page not found. This link is the Identity Management Integration Guide HTML

Could any one give the complete steps of Linking a report to web form so that when called / clicked the link the report can display the data.
I have unchecked the "Report Option -> Save Data with Reports". So that the report could not take extra space.
I have DB connection code in my .aspx.vb file, it is as follows:
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt"
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName)
myRepDoc = New ReportDocument()

SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, subReportDocument)
If myReportObject.Name = "Subreport1" Then
Dim lvSec As Section = subReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections("DetailSection1")
If Not lvSec Is Nothing Then
Dim t1 As TextObject
t1 = lvSec.ReportObjects("txtEmpName")
t1.Text = Session.Contents("EmpName")
Dim t2 As TextObject
t2 = lvSec.ReportObjects("txtRepID")
t2.Text = Request.QueryString("REPID")
End If
End If
End If
Next
Next

Sir AG,
Thanks a lot for replying and spending your valuable time for my problem.
Sir, I just want to put this in your knowledge that my application is web based application and I am calling these reports through web forms i.e. of ASP.NET coded in vb from .aspx.vb files.
So as per the code I have attached, I have this
Option Explicit On
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Next for ReportDocument Object:
Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt"
        Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName)
        myRepDoc = New ReportDocument()
        myRepDoc.Load(reportPath)
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myRepDoc
Above is the code used by me in Page_Init and I have already tested it from Page_Load. I have got few suggestions from this forum that I should put this code in Page_Init only.
Lastly:
The database connectivity code:
Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        If Session("reportConnectionInfo") IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim ConnInforArrList As ArrayList = DirectCast(Session("reportConnectionInfo"), ArrayList)
            myConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConnInforArrList(0)
            myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConnInforArrList(1)
            myConnectionInfo.UserID = ConnInforArrList(2)
            myConnectionInfo.Password = ConnInforArrList(3)
        Else
            lblMessage.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            lblMessage.Text = "Session is off. Please Relogin to See the Report."
        End If
        SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument)
        Dim myTables As Tables = myReportDocument.Database.Tables
        For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
            Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
            myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
            myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
        Next
    End Sub
This code I have got from a sample of the forum itself.
Sir, after all these effort and the unchecking of option "Save Data with Report" on calling the reports from my forms it is showing blank report. No data from the database is coming form the database.
I have uncheked the option "Save Data with Reports" to get the updated data each time the report has been called but now the status is that nothing is coming.
Thanks again for you precious and valuable effort to help me but the my problem is unsolved, So sir please if you could put an eye on it and help me out to get rid of this problem, I will be very thankful to you for your kind help.
Thanks and regards
Mushtaque

Question: using links in report to copy data into form for update

Hi there,
I have a report that selects data from one a table, and i want to populate a form to update the report info and more info that a user will enter into another table. With alot of help I have managed to get the first 3 column fields across by editing the report link, under report attributes -> column link. The values of Item 1 to Item 3 work fine, but how do i get the rest of the info in the other 5 columns across??
regards

I think you're trying to reinvent the htmldb wheel.
Have you tried looking at the wizards that help you do this?
Anyway, as an example, to populate the form using the pk
1: create your items on the page, including the PK
eg P2_EMPNO (PK), P2_ENAME, P2_SAL,P2_DEPTNO
2: create a page process "on load" that runs if the PK item is not null
begin
select ename,sal,deptno
into :P2_ENAME,P2_SAL,P2_DEPNTO
from emp
where empno = :P2_EMPNO
end;
3: You now need to write a process that does an update
after submit
begin
update emp
set ename = :P2_ENAME,
sal = P2_SAL,
deptno = :P2_DEPTNO
where empno = :P2_EMPNO;
end
You need to consider how to handle new rows, optimistic locking and a few other things.
I would suggest that you have a look at the existing form wizard that does all this for you. We can then work around any "limitations" you find.

'Documentation link fails

The 'Documentation' link on my MII 12.0.4 home page fails to resolve properly. The link points to 'http://wbhelp.sap.com/manufacturing/xmii_120/{$Language}/43/E80B59AD40719AE10000000A1553F6/content.htm' but my MII account (coming from an LDAP data source) isn't providing the Language variable. When someone from our Basis group (with administrative rights and also coming from LDAP) uses the link, Language is available as 'en' and the link works properly.
What is the source of the Language variable? Why is it resolving properly with administrative rights but not developer rights?
Thanks for the help!
David Macindoe

The {$Language} in the url comes from the DynamicHomePageLibrary.xsl that builds the home page itself for the logged in user. Whatever your particular custom home page theme is would likely inclue this xsl file such as: <xsl:include href="/XMII/CM/xMIIDS/Themes/DynamicHomePageLibrary.xsl"/>
Your Language attribute is part of your profile which is the source of content used by the building process: /XMII/Illuminator?Service=SystemInfo&Mode=CurrentProfile&Content-Type=text/xml
and then gets pulled into the help url with:
<xsl:variable name="Language">
<xsl:value-of select="/Profile/@Language"/>
</xsl:variable>
You will see at the top of the xml results for the above URL: <Profile .....Language="en"...... along with other typical ones like IllumLoginName and IllumLoginRoles.
Do you not see this attribute or is it blank?
In fact, /XMII/PropertyAccessServlet?Mode=List which shows all of the name/value pairs in the session should more or less line up with the attributes in your home page profile xml.
Regards,
Jeremy

Documentation Links are bad

The documentation links for Discoverer are bad (I would assume this applies to other documentation.
None of the HTML or PDF links on this page return a valid result:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/discoverer.html
They all return: "The page cannot be displayed"
Please remedy ASAP.

Just to clarify here; software downloads (from download.oracle.com) will not work for employees during business hours but documentation will - if you remove *.oracle.com from your browsers proxy exceptions.

Why no link to report piracy on Apple's web site?

The is a user on Dallas Craiglist that is selling brand new iMacs with what must be $10,000 worth of software on it.
Unfortunately Apple doesn't have a link to report piracy like Adobe does.

Linking a report to a report

I'm trying to link a report to another report. I'm able to link a form to a report with no problem. After selecting the link I can enter the parameters. When I try to add the parameters to the link between two reports the parameter selection does not appear. Has anyone had this problem before?

Hi,
If you are using a sql query you cannot do this. In case of wizard based query you will get a pencil icon next to the link which when you click will bring up the parameters screen.
Thanks,
Sharmila
