Does SQLDeveloper support printing or saving a User Defined Report?

Once you generate a user defined report, how can you print it out or save it (pdf/tif/jpg/...)?

File - Print should do that, but there's a current bug (up to v1.5), that only lets you print the visible area.
So best you right-click in the results, Export Data - xls, and print with your favorite spreadsheet...
Have fun,

Saving SD User Defined Report

I am creating a user defined report in tcode MC21. When i try to save it asks me for a package. Which package do i use. do i use already existing packages or i need to use a new package. If try saving without the package the system refuses. If i save the Info Structure as a Local Object it tells me the Self defined Info structure will not be transportable. How do i handle this.

Ask the abaper which package currently they are using and use the same package.
Reward if it useful.

How to "print" a user-defined report to PDF?

Hello, I am using sqldeveloper 3.1 and I've got a user-defined report (chart) working. I see one can adjust a bunch of PDF settings in the report properties, but I cannot find how to actually produce a PDF version of my report/chart...

You can watch the movie here, but simple answer, right-mouse in the grid, Export > PDF

The charts are not supported yet in the PDF reporting feature.
Edit the report definition in the PDF section to control the properties of the PDF generated.

4.1EA2 User-Defined-Report strips CRLF when using PL/SQL DBMS Output

Hi,
I have a report with a child report.
That child report uses pl/sql to print to the screen. (dbms output)
When i use the procedure manually it prints fine.
When i copy this output to a text editor i can see the CRLF in there.
If i call the same procedure tru the reports section of SQLDeveloper the output is stripped of any CRLF characters.
This is causing it to be useless for me: i am using it to generate code and it all appears as one big line on the screen.
Copying this to a text editor indeed shows all CRLFs gone.
Is this intentional or a bug ?

Jeff,
Thnx for the answer.
I don't have a problem writing html in my code being a former webdeveloper with experience in apex as well.
The problem is that the option presents itself as a standard plsql dbmsoutput, which suggests identical output as a dbmsoutput pane in sqldeveloper.
From your answer i gather it really is supposed to do html formatting.
Your "solution" of inserting br tags would be fine if it weren't for the fact that when i do a copy of the output in this report pane sqldeveloper strips away the br tags but doesn't replace them with crlf's.
And since the crlfs that were in the output are also stripped in this result pane i get a single line of text when i copy over a page of text from the result pane into a normal texteditor.
As such it behaves differently then say a browser when i copy a page of text from the browser and paste it in a text editor. There i see the crlfs that were present in the original source.
Is there a listing somewhere that explains what tags are supported?
Or CSS ?
Does it support stuff like white-space: pre ?
I understand the usefullness of a html-aware plsql dbmsoutput output option in the reports list of a user-defined report.
However i would like to use this opportunity to advocate to include , as an extra option or tick box etc., an option to just display the output as the normal dbmsoutput pane displays it.
That is without extra formatting.
I like the idea of being able to click in the table section above and to have bottom pane generate the appropriate code as output.
That use-case can not happen right now since it formats as html (and not even the correct way) or, when going along with this route, strips everything to a single line of text when copying the data from the result pane.

Error creating a user defined report in the grid control

I am trying to create a simple User Defined report in the Grid OEM
Under the 'Elements' tab I have a 'Type' - 'Database Table from SQL'
And I have this 'Statement' - SELECT * FROM SYS.DBA_USERS
When I Click the 'Preview' button I get this error.
Error rendering element. Exception: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I'm logged on as SYSTEM.
Isn't the SYS.DBA_USERS table accessible by SYSTEM?
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong/

What are the tricks?
It has to be some what supported since I found this somewhere in an Oracle note...
How to create custom reports on tables other than mgmt* views.
To create reports on other tables, grant permissions to MGMT_VIEW user as MGMT_VIEW is responsible for creating reports in grid control
SQL> GRANT SELECT on SYSMAN.<table_name> to MGMT_VIEW;
And then create the reports in the reporting framework referencing SYSMAN.<table_name> in the query.
I tried GRANT SELECT on SYS.DBA_USERS to MGNT_VIEW but this did not work.

Using bind variables in user defined reports

How do I go about using a bind variable in a user defined report?
Here's a trivial example in SQL*Plus:
var ublocksize number
begin
select value into :ublocksize
from v$parameter
where name = 'db_block_size';
end;
select :ublocksize from dual;
This code does not work in raptor.
The error displayed is:
Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
Vendor code 17041
any ideas?

You also have a second issue of supporting the following syntax in SQL scripts:
var ublocksize number
begin
select value into :ublocksize
from v$parameter
where name = 'db_block_size';
end;
We are itterating to support all SQL plus commands

1.5.5 Cannot add user defined report to folder

Hello,
the context menu on folders in user defined report show only two options: copy and export. No way to add new folders or reports. I migrated my settings from 1.5.1.
Though I can add a new folder directly at the root of user defined reports. But then SQL Developer won't restart (using 100% of my dual core until I kill the process).
Running WIN XP JDK 1.6.10
Regards
Marcus

Hello Sue,
I already tried the current production version 2.1.0.63.73 and the problem is still there.
In addition I did yet another test without migrating the old reports, connections etc. by renaming the appropriate folder in C:\Documents and Settings\michael\Application Data.
Afterwards I imported my own reports.
However there was no chance to move or delete any sub folders containing my reports. I only could copy or export sub folders or delete single reports.
And after restarting sqldev the same behavior occurred on the new folders just created: Only export and copy are available accessing the context menu.
Any suggestions? Do I have to re-create every single report?
Regards,
Peter
Edited by: petmichael on Jan 15, 2010 12:27 PM
Today I found out that changing the language settings for sqldev to English by adding the appropriate settings in sqldeveloper.conf located in \...\sqldeveloper-2.1.0.63.73\sqldeveloper\bin (mentioned below) does solve the problem.
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
AddVMOption -Duser.country=US
AddVMOption -Duser.region=US
AddVMOption -Dfile.encoding=GBK
By deleting these additional settings the error is reproducible.
In addition with the English language settings the "Tip of the Day" appears running version 2.1.0.63.73 first time and it doesn't work that way without the additional settings mentioned above.
Hth everybody running in that feature!

SQL Developer user defined reports (appropriate utilization)

I have used SQL developer on a limited basis but I have never created a user defined report. Can someone compare and contrast the
types of user defined reports that can be created via SQL developer versus the types of user defined reports that can be created via
a tool such as Crystal Reports or similar tool.

Hi user7753875 -
I agree with reidelme that it won't match the capabilities for fancy organisation/output of tools like Crystal Reports, but you can do interrelated parent/multiple child reports.
Check out the Reports tab on the SQL Developer Exchange for some examples of what other users have done with this.

Turns out no one has used that in a long time. You will have to do some interpretive cut/past from xml given by web site & report editor in SQL Developer. Here is the "Who" report (master+2 child reports) from the exchange in a format you can use the import function from "User Defined Reports" on.

User defined reports

hi,
what are the different user defined reports which can be created using report painter/writer.
regards
amulya

This is what I did. I edited my report and modified the name (editing the report with same name does not work as it gives error 'Name already used please enter new one') added description, tooltip & SQL . Closed raptor and reopened it. All of my reports including the one I modified above, now have the exact same description, tooltip & SQL as the first one (wierd).
I modified all my reports and added description and tool tip for all of them and all of them did get saved. So, not only Name is mandatory, but description & tool tip seems to be mandatory. Am I right ?

Not able to edit user defined reports

Hi,
I've run into an issue recently with user defined reports. After some time, I'm not able to edit them. This only happens on some of them. Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks.

Hi,
The platform is Windows XP Pro (32 bit) sp3, sql developer 1.5.5 (although I've seen this happen on earlier versions as well). After some time, some reports become un-editable. If I right click on the report and click edit, nothing happens. I've also tried exporting and re-importing the reports, but that doesn't seem to help.
Also, I open it up via sqldeveloper.exe, but no console window come up.

I don't think user defined reports supports bind variables yet.

Best practice to share user defined reports?

What is the best practice to share user defined reports among team members?
Currently I can create a folder under the Reports/User Defined Reports system folder and any reports or subfolders under that can be exported into xml by right-clicking on the folder and selecting 'Save As'. Then sending the file over or put it on a shared point or check in to SVN, then the other team members can right click on the User Defined Reports system folder and chose "Open report..." and select the xml file.
Is there any more elegant way?
Is it a good idea to share the C:\Users\lgal\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\UserReports.xml on Windows, or ~/.sqldeveloper/UserReports.xml (on Linux) among users?
Is there a standard way to bring this under standard SVN control in SD?

I think the best thing would be if someone set up a config sharing site!
It would be very easy to do on system like drupal or e107. People could register and submit their configs to different download sections based on what sort of configs they are. My site runs e107 so it's not hard to see how easy it would be
It would be easy to set up - I could do it in about 30mins but I think I have done more than enough of that! There seems no need to officialize it to any degree and burden the server even more.
I guess user-cb could host it couldn't? If you restrict people to posting only small config files with no icons and link to big stuff offsite it should be tiny bandwidth usage.
That's what I would do anyway

Cannot create user defined report

Guys,
For an unknown reason, I'm unable to create new reports in some subfolder inside the "User defined report". When I rigth-click on the subfolder, the contextual menu contains only "Copy" and "Paste". But If I'm going to the root folder (User defined report), I'm able to create a new subfolder and new report. I'm even able to create an new report in the subfolder.
Did you already encounter the same issue and how did you solve it ?
Thanks

I vaguely remember someone having issues with user defined report operations, the problem there was solved by changing the user language to English by adding
AddVMOption -Duser.language=ENto the sqldeveloper.conf file normally located in
SQLDEVELOPER_INSTALL_DIR/sqldeveloper/binIf you are not already running in English try changing this.
