Download in Interactive Report Attributes

Hi, all --
I am using APEX 3.1. In the Interactive Report Attributes, I added the filename: status.csv. I apply the change, but I don't see any change on the page. I was expecting a link at the bottom of the report to invoke the download. If my expectation is wrong, how do I invoke the download?
Thanks,
Yivon

The Gear Icon is the Actions Menu. To see the Download function, you need to have it enabled. Edit your page, click on Interactive Report, scroll down to the Search Bar region and make sure that 'Download' is checked. For more information about how to develop IRRs, check out this OBE - http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31irr.htm I would also suggest that you run your IRR and select Help from the Actions Menu - that will explain about what each option does.

  • 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.

  • Interactive Report Attributes: Missing a column?

    This is for Application Express 3.2.1.00.12
    I'm working on a report with the columns pulled in a SQL statement in the Region Definition section of the Interactive Report Attributes screen. We want to alter the column names so they are more user friendly, so on the Report Attributes tab, I'm looking for the column name we wish to alter, but it is not showing up. Now, in the final report, the column is visible with the header from the name of the column from the database, so the system is aware of the column and can display it, but for some reason we can't see it in the Report Attributes tab.
    Why would a column be invisible or inaccessible in the Report Attributes tab? There are 100 columns displayed in the Report Attributes: Column Attributes section. Is that the reason I'm missing some columns; 100 is a hard column limit on that page?
    Thanks in advance for all help you can provide.

    Hi,
    You are almost right place. You need click icon before 100th column name, order to go screen where you can edit column attributes.
    In that screen right top is buttons (Cancle, Apply, < and >)

  • How to make RTF avalilble for download in the Report Attributes

    I cannot see the RTF download in the Report Attributes of a Interactive report. Also, it may be related, I have that no printer servcer is configured. I have no idea where to llok, since in the installation guide says nothing about this.
    Any dirrection will be appreciate it.
    Thank you.
    My APEX 4.0 version is:
    Product Build: 4.0.2.00.07
    Schema Compatibility: 2010.05.13

    I found the following: About Report Printing Configuration Options
    Standard Support. Enables you to print report regions and report queries using either the built-in templates (provided with a standard XSL-FO processing engine), or other XSL-FO compatible formats you provide. This setting does not support RTF.
    Standard Support provides declarative formatting of report regions and report queries with basic control over page attributes, including page orientation, page size, column heading formats, page header, and page footer.
    Advanced Support. Requires a valid license of Oracle BI Publisher (also known as Oracle XML Publisher). This setting, provides you with all the capabilities of the Standard configuration plus the ability to define RTF-based report layouts developed using the BI Publisher Word Template Builder.
    So Oracle BI Publisher is needed for RTF to be enabled.

  • 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,

  • Unable to open PDF output (PDF downloaded from Interactive Report--APEX)

    Hi,
    I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
    Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramamuni.

    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

  • 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".

    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.

    I'm having the silliest problem:

  • 4.0 PDF download in Interactive Reports

    Hi,
    I remember reading there would be enhanced PDF support in 4.0?
    Does anyone know what this was?
    Do we still have to setup FPS/BI Publisher to be able to download a report as a PDF?
    In a vanilla install of 4.0, I get an error downloading a pdf, I assume this is because I haven't setup FOPS yet?
    Thanks

    You're in the wrong forum. This is the Oracle reports forum, try an APEX-related forum instead.

  • XLS download of interactive report - error after upgrade to apex 4.1.1

    Hello!
    When trying to download a certain IR with e.g. 10 columns as XLS, I get the following error in the Excel in Apex 4.1.1:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    If I change it to two columns it works.
    BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
    Apex 4.1.1.00.23
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0
    In Apex 4.0.2.00.07 the exact same IR works with any number of columns.
    Any ideas?
    BR Paul

    BR Paul,
    I am experiencing the same issue after upgrading to 4.1.1.00.23 and trying to download pdf via bi pub xmlpserver. Seems if i reduce the columns to what fits on an 8.5X11 page then it works without error. Were you able to find a workaround in 4.1.1? Just trying to save some effort if you already found the solution. I wasn't successful in finding many others with this issue, so i appreciate the post but unfortunately don't have an answer to our problem. I'm using the standard csv download option and this works but of course it isn't going through bi pub.
    thanks,
    Jeff

  • Interactive Report - Download as xls giving empty report

    Hi,
    I have an interactive report where i have enabled all the available download formats from report attributes. Now, when I go to Actions -> Download  and select format as .csv, html, email, then it works fine. But when I select download format as XLS/PDF then the downloaded file is an empty file (size 0 Bytes). This issue is coming with/without applying filters.
    Any idea how to resolve it?
    PS: I am using APEX version 4.2

    Do you have a print in place?  Fop/BI Publisher are required to create other report type downloads (csv comes standard with APEX)..
    The APEX Listener will replace FOP in producing PDF output..

  • Interactive Report Downloads only showing Column Headings

    I have an Interactive Report that is selecting more than 100 columns. I set the defulat to only show a few of the columns (the rest are dedaulted to not show). When I try the download option (pdf, rtf etc.) , it only shows the column headers (no data). The download works when you originally create the Report region with the SQL statement. It seems to break as soon as you do the 'Save Report' - 'As default Report Settings'. Anybody seen this before? It is a bug?

  • Interactive Report - download to PDF, fixed column widths-- why

    We are using 4.1.1.00.23, we have just installed the Apache/FOP solution to download our Interactive Reports to PDF.
    The issue is that it seems that no matter what we do the column widths become evenly distributed in the downloaded report. When the report only has 5-8 columns this is ok, doesn't look as good as we would like but it is ok. The problem comes when we have many columns, then all of the columns get shrunk down to these little columns that become totally useless.
    Also, it appears that no matter what page size I define in the Page Attributes it sizes the columns to fit on an standard page (8.5x11).
    The question I guess is: Is there a way to download an Interactive Report to PDF, that looks exactly like the report that is displayed for the Interactive Report?
    We have been looking at lots of the documentation and fear we are missing something because it appears that most solutions talk about creating a "Shared Component" Report Query and Report Layout, which when you have a hundred interactive reports seems crazy....why can't we just download what we see on the screen.
    If there was a way to put Headers/Footers on HTML download, then we would not need to do this, but I have not found a way to do that either.

    From our understanding, it looks like we would have to create another report for each of our existing Interactive Reports, which would be a JasperReport or something.
    We know there is something with the XSL-FO templates, is that what iReports can do for us? Really this is a new world for me, so I do fear that I might be asking my question wrong.
    Like I said maybe we are missing something. We were able to get the FOP to work, but the problem with that is all of the columns are evenly distributed widths. On some reports, which have many columns, there could be a name column that needs to display 50 characters, but then the next field only has 5 characters. It appears that without creating an additional report or report layout for each report we cannot print the results of the interactive report.
    Maybe I am completely missing something in all of this, but I find it hard to believe that we have to create multiple versions of a report just to be able to print it. If we had just wanted to create a static report, then I would have continued using Oracle Reports, like we have for the last 20yrs.

Maybe you are looking for
