Download from Interactive Report to csv is not working

Hi there,
when I try to create a download form my interactive report I get an empty csv/pdf.
I just checked with other report pages where the download functionality is working - but the settings seem the same.
In the interactive report properties I've set the check boxes for csv and pdf and it is also displayed properly then on the report page. But when I click on the download (csv or pdf) just an empty document is opened.
What settings can I check now - what might be the reason for the error?
BR & thank you,
Lena

Keerti,
You're using the "Display Condition" of the Interactive Report Region (IRR) to show the report or not.
If you have multiple selects just use a PL/SQL expression as in:
:P1_MULTI_1 IS NOT NULL
   AND :P1_MULTI_2 IS NOT NULLNow, if that works for you lets take things a little further... You don't need the second submit button all the time (I'd get rid of it entirely but you seem to really want to hide the region until a selection is made). I did the following:
1. Updated the display condition of the report to use a PL/SQL expression.
2. Set the display condition of the submit button to the opposite of the IRR.
3. Added the item name of the select to the interactive report attributes > Advanced Attributes > Page Items to Submit.
Now the go button can be used for everything.
Regards,
Dan

  • Htmldb_application.g_excel_format for CSV download from Interactive Report

    I have an Interactive Report which I would like to modify so that it downloads to CSV different fields than it displays (some of the online displayed fields are hypertext links). In the past, dealing with "classic" APEX reports, I did this by defining 2 versions of the relevant fields, one for display and one for download. I then used a PLSQL condition checking htmldb_application.g_excel_format to determine which version of the field to use. I have tried this using the Interactive Report, and it does not work for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. In both the online and downloaded version of the report, I am seeing the hypertext links.
    I am using APEX 3.1.1, running on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options.

    Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
    Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

  • ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine message in CSV download from Interactive Report

    Hi,
    1 particular Interactive Report in our application produces the following error message in the CSV file, if we attempt to download the report: -
    ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine
    All other reports work OK, there is another thread here with the same issue, but no resolution was posted: APEX 4.1 ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine
    Has anyone else come across this issue?
    Apex version is 4.1.0.00.32

    Hi,
    what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
    On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
    Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
    Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

  • Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

    hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
    I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
    this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
    I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
    File does not begin with '%PDF-'
    and
    Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
    file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
    attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
    File does not begin with '%PDF-'
    Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
    Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
    (response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Carol

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
    But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
    "Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
    file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
    attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,

    Steps of pdf Printing of Report from FOP:
    1) Download and unzip the following needed files in D:\Apex_fop directory.
    2) Open your command prompt .
    Change the directory to D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11.
    Set the Java_Home environment variable as: set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21
    then type build war
    3) After getting the prompt back as D:>Apex_fop>cocoon-2.1.11>
    Copy coocon.war file from the folder D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon.
    Paste this file into webapps subdirectory in main tomcat directory having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps.....place it in the top
    level of webapps directory.
    4) Now just startup tomcat as D:>APEX_FOP>apache-tomcat-6.0.26>bin>startup.bat
    The cocoon.war file will automatically uncompressed as directory.
    5) To change the port of apache tomcat , edit apache-tomcat-6.0.26\conf\server.xml & change port attribute of Connector element from 8080 to 8181.
    Just check whether Tomcat is running or not as http://localhost:8181/
    & to check cocoon type http://localhost:8181/cocoon/
    6) Now copy fop_post directory & paste it undes new cocoon directory in webapps having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps
    \cocoon.
    7) Now you need to do some apex settings as follows:
    In APEX, just log in as ADMIN into apex/apex_admin and went to Instance Settings and did the following:
    - Print Serverr: Standard Support
    - Print Server Protocol: HTTP
    - Print Server Host Address:localhost
    - Print Server Port: 8181
    - Print Server Script: /cocoon/fop_post
    In your APEX application, in the Regions section, Click on the Print link next to your report and do the following settings:
    - Enable Report Printing: Yes
    - Link Label: Print
    - Response Header: Report Settings
    - View File As: Attachment
    - Output Format: PDF
    - Report Layout: Default Report Layout
    - Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1063230002781575
    8) Open up the Report Page and click Print , You will get the pdf report.
    I am sure this will help you

  • Interactive Reports Action Menu buttons not working

    We are running Apex 4.02 and using theme 11 (round green). We recently upgraded to IE 10 (on windows server 2008 R2) and are now experiencing issues with all interactive reports within Apex. The Action menu is displayed correctly and the options are available but the buttons to apply the changes do not seem to respond.
    For example, I can press the Action button then select Format->Sort from the actions menu. The sort by options are displayed but nothing happens when I press the Cancel or Apply buttons. There is no error - it looks like the button press is not executing the code.
    I have searched for issues specifically related to Apex but have only been able to find references to general problems with IE 10 and Ajax calls. I'm not sure whether IRs are using Ajax as part of it's core functionality and whether this is the behaviour we are seeing.
    I'm keen to understand whether others have encountered this problem and resolved the issue somehow. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I would have set this up somewhat differently.  I'd have all of your buttons set to pause the slide in exactly the same spot about 1.5 seconds into the slide.  To set the variable for completion of a section I would have used a standard or conditional action that was executed by the button that brings the learner back to the menu slide.  This action would set the variable and then jump back to the menu slide using the button's On Success action.  You need one of these actions per separate section in your project.
    As to why some of your buttons are not working at all...
    1. They may not be set up correctly.  Check all settings again.
    2. The buttons may be corrupted.  Delete the ones that don't work and insert new ones.  Avoid copying and pasting.
    As luck would have it, I've just completed an e-book Guide to Adobe Captivate Advanced Actions that has an entire series of practice exercises that take you step by step through creating exactly the menu slide setup that you describe.  If this project is important enough to you, it may be worth your while to consider purchasing that e-book:

  • Crystal Report XI - .csv export not working

    Hi Folks,
    I developed reports in Crystal Report XI R2 version (with service pack 6) and calling them from Power Builder 11.5. When I export the report to .csv format I see only parameter names with values (supplied to call this report) in csv file.
    For eg:
    Parameters are
    Start Date: 01/01/2012
    End Date: 02/01/2012
    CompanyID: 21234
    Regular output:
    colum1 colum2 ...... columnn
    data1 data2 datan
    data1 data2 datan
    data1 data2 datan
    ..... 10 records
    csv output looks like this:
    Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
    Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
    Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
    ..... 10 records
    Please let me know what changes should I do.
    Thanks
    Indra

    Hi Indra,
    Subreports are not exported to CSV, unfortunately. The multiple rows that you see are actually the detail sections that are repeating.
    Try exporting to Excel and then to .csv from Excel.

  • Interactive report filter for date not working correctly

    Hi,
    I am having an interactive report. I tried to give a filter for a column(created_on) as created on>29-oct-2009 17:17
    but i am getting the row containing created on as *29-oct-2009 17:17* in the report result. How can i correct this
    problem
    Thanks,
    TJ

    Hi,
    I think it is because seconds.
    So it is 29-oct-2009 17:17:00 and your record is e.g. 29-oct-2009 17:17:02
    br, Jari
    Edit
    You can use trunc function in your select so that it round date to minutes
    TRUNC(created_on,'MI') AS created_onBr, Jari

  • Interactive Report "Save As Default" not working for me on Hosted APEX

    Created an app on Oracle's Hosted APEX site (apex.oracle.com) with an interactive report. Changed the column settings in the interactive report and went to "Save Report" and the "Save As" select list isn't displayed to allow me to "Save as Default". It's as if APEX isn't recognizing me as a Developer even though I'm logged in as my Admin Account. I even have a "developer" account that I created and the same problem happens there as well. Has anyone experienced this problem on apex.oracle.com? Thanks.

    Will - The developer toolbar must be enabled in order for you to see those options, I believe.

  • Drill from Financial Report to SQL Spreadsheet not working

    Has anyone had any experience with getting a Financial Report [or Web Analysis OLAP Report] to drill to a Web Analysis SQL Spreadsheet? The Financial Report uses the SQL Spreadsheet as related content. The SQL Spreadsheet does have the column mapping setup to match Essbase Dimensions to relevant relational columns. The financial report does link to the SQL Spreadsheet but the POV criteria does not pass as the where clause when the SQL Spreadsheet opens up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is a bug or just an unlucky constellation...
    I had the same (or similare) issue with a new installation of 4.1 (after removing 4.0)
    Before you run these two scripts again
    apex_epg_config.sql (it will call apex_epg_config_core.sql)
    apxldimg.sql
    open these two files and put the prefix of "APEX_040100." to all calls to wwv_flow_utilities
    apex_epg_config_core.sql
    apxldimg.sql
    So that all these calls looks like APEX_040100.wwv_flow_utilities ....
    Run the scripts as SYS again.
    Also check if your public apex user is not locked and has a valid password.
    Also check whether your XDB user is not locked (I had this problem, however no idea what could have caused it)

  • Download data from interactive report

    Hi all. I'm on apex 3.1.1.00.09.
    I have this problem: when I download data from interactive report I can download only in CSV and PDF. If I try to download into pdf it creates a file of only 1 KB.
    I would know if I must configure my apex in order to download correctly in pdf and if I must configure it in order to download in doc and xls format.
    Thanks all for collaboration,
    Fabrizio

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am able to download the csv file, but my problem is: I don't want the column headings to show.
    Is it possible to download only the data, not the column headings?

    I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update.   Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1.  Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional.  Advice?

    I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
    If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
    I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.
