Error when using format mask to create download link in report

I'm following these directions to create a download link in a report region.

The report region displays no rows (even though there is one row in the table), no links, and even more strange, it show the value of APP_USER where it would normally display the results.

Josh,
Your end result on page 58 and the instructions in that document link don't seem to correlate. Regardless, I:
1) Copied page 58 to page 158 in your application.
2) Removed the BLOB format mask from your report link.
3) Changed your query to:
select "ROWID",
"DOC_ID",
"DATE_ADDED",
"USER_ID",
dbms_lob.getlength("FILE_CONTENT") "FILE_CONTENT",
"FILE_NAME",
"MIME_TYPE",
"DOC_NUMBER"
from "#OWNER#"."DOCUMENT_LIBRARY"
4) Specified the BLOB format mask for the FILE_CONTENT column.
Seems to work just fine now (on page 158, that is).

Hi All,
On dashboard page, we have link for the report. Our requirement is, beside the report link, Can we put a link to download the same report. Business wants users should have quicker access to download the report. So, they want a link to download report without opening it.

Excel and pdf download link on report in development sandbox app

I need assistance doing the following:
1) moving the download spreadsheet link from the bottom left to top right corner of the report page
2) adding a download pdf link next to the excel link (i believe i saw this was possible)
I'm using the oracle provided development sandbox account.
Thanks!

1. Edit the report template.
2. The option you need is the third Region tab, Print Attributes, but the environment must be set up to produce PDFs (typically Apache FOP or Oracle BI/XML Publisher). Not sure if apex.oracle.com supports PDF printing, mind you.

How to add a download link in a report directed by a navigation link?

I have searched the net but could not find the solution.
I added a link in a dashboard page. The link is connected to a request. When the link is clicked, the page goes to a report, which is not placed in a section region.
Now, how to configure the report so that a download link is displayed right under the navigated report?
I know that if a report is placed under a section in a dashboard design page, use the "Request Link..." to add the download link. But such a "Request Link..." feature is not available for a navigate-link directed report.
Many thanks in advance.
Quin

I haven't seen this done, but it may be possible. As a workaround why not create a new hidden dashboard page and put your request on that page with the appropriate 'Download' report link?

Show File name as download link in a report

Hi people,
In an application (APEX 4.2.1) I have a reprot whith a file donwload column. I implemented the download as a BLOB column with "DOWNLOAD" as Format Mask. This works fine, I can download attachments, no probs so far. However, I want the Download Text to show the name of the actual file instead of a static text "Download".
Any suggestions on this?
Kind regards,
Vincent Deelen

Hi fac586,
Thanks for your reply.Actually, my first thougt was to use #FILE_NAME# reference, I tried it again, but it doesn't really work for me. I end up with a download link that reads exactly "#FILE_NAME#".
I've put up an example in my demo app to show:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:31:0:::::
I've included screenshots of the page setup in the report.

Display image for BLOB Download link in Interactive Report

I have a table containing BLOB data and am displaying the table in an interactive report. I would like to replace the "Download" text link with an icon that represents the MIME type of the BLOB, but can't seem to find a way to make the substitution. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
-Jeff

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the suggestion. I understand what you are saying, the problem is that when you have an interactive report that includes a BLOB and you use the built-in method for displaying a download link, it only gives you the option of using a text link. The method is outlined in the online help under:
Home > Advanced Programming Techniques> About BLOB Support in Forms and Reports > About BLOB Support in Reports
This is done by using the following syntax in the Number/Date Format of the column attribute of the BLOB:
DOWNLOAD:CC_DOCUMENTS:CONTENTS:ID::MIME_TYPE:FILENAME:UPDATED_ON::attachment:View
Where the last parameter is the link text. The only problem is that there is no option for substituting an image rather than the link text. That's what I'm trying to work around. Sorry if you new all of this already, but I wanted to explain what I've already done. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Download link to export several reports in a dashboard at once

Hello Gurus. When you create a dashboard with a report, the Refresh, Printer Friendly and Add to Briefing Book links are created automatically with icons on the bottom, left hand side of the dashboard. Is there a way to include the Download link as well? The idea is to have a link to export several reports to Excel at once. I already know how to add it for each report. Our dashboard has 6 reports and the user wants to export all 6 reports in one command. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

In short - No.
Asked many many many times, probably in the top 10 wish list.
If you manage to suss it out please share with everyone :-)

Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report
591953 Nov 19, 2008 1:55 PM (in response to 660436)
Currently Being Moderated
Good morning,
Here is how I have solved this problem.
1. The select statement in the sql for the report should not include the BLOB column. I decided to select only 2 columns, the column that has the key and the column with the filename.
2. On the first column ( the primary key ) I put in the format statement that was simply DOWNLOAD:TABLENAME:BLOB_COLUMN:PRIMARY_KEY
This works. I believe that the Oracle error I was getting was because I was trying to apply this format statement to the actual BLOB column.
So, it appears that you can use any of the columns in the report to hold the DOWNLOAD format statement since in the format statement, you are defining the BLOB table, BLOB column and the primary key into that column.
Hope this helps,
Don.

Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report

Hi,
I am trying to create a report on a table with BLOB data so that the report displays a "download" link for the BLOB data. I am trying to give users the ability to download files from a website.
I have been following the instructions in OBE "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1".
In the report, for the BLOB column, I have specified values for the following fields in Report Attributes->Column Formatting->Number/Date Format->BLOB Download Format Mask:
BLOB Table
BLOB Column
Primary Key Column 1
MIME Type Column
Filename Column
BLOB Last Updated Column
However, when I run the report, I get the following error, even thought there is data loaded into the table:
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
When I remove the BLOB Download Format Mask information for the BLOB column, then the data displays in the report, but without the "download" link for the BLOB data (which is expected):
E.g.
Title Author Created BLOB_CONTENT
Siebel & RAC Best Practices     Erik.Peterson     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
Siebel Grid Case Studies     Mark.MacDonald     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
Siebel CRM Applications protected by Oracle Clusterware     Kelly.Tan     17-SEP-08 [datatype]
Oracle Grid: The Optimal Platform for Siebel Solutions Mark.MacDonald 17-SEP-08     [datatype]
Any ideas why I'm seeing the ORA_01403 when I specify the BLOB Download Format Mask?

Problem with download link for a BLOB Column in a "Classic report"

I am having a problem where I cannot make a download link for a blob column function in a "classic" (non-interactive) report. I went through the tutorial on this topic and it was great help it working out the minor bugs, but I get a 404 error (apex_util.get_BLOB not found). For testing purposes I went ahead and created a an identical report on the same page that is an "Interactive report" and it works like a charm. Same query, same BLOB formatting Mask, pulling data from the same table. So, it really doesn't seem like an issue with the grants, since both reports should be executing as the same user.
I know it sounds like the obvious answer is to just go with the interactive report and my problem is solved, but the rest of this site uses classic reports, and I don't need the sort features of an interactive report, and the slightly different style of the the report really stands out even if I turn off all the bells and whistles. I don't want to change the css to make them look identical, I just want a regular report to work.

I eventually found another post: APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB was not found on this server
In this post there is the suggestion of putting "dbms_lob.getlength("var")" after the date field in your select. So I changed my query to have it at the end, and now my format mask (DOWNLOAD:table_name:ATTACHED_FILE:FILE_ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::attachment:Download) works like a charm, in a classic report.

Interactive Report Download Link Question

I have an interactive report where I have outer joined to a table that contain blobs that I want the user to be able to click a link to download. I have a custom procedure that works with the download link. However I can't figure out how to get the download link to only appear for the records that actually have a file (since it is outer joined, only some of the records have a blob file associated with them).
Click this link to see a screenshot of the report example.
The existing column with the download link was created as a column link, where I specify the url (to my custom download proc). The problem as you can see is that it puts the download link in that column for every row, whether there really is a file to download or not. I'd rather only have a download link where there is a file to download for that record (see the My File column).
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

HOT TIP
If you are passing parameters into your download procedure in the URL then the users will be able to hack the URL and download information they shouldn't be able to. More worrying, if you have granted execute to public (which I think you have to) on the Procedure then information can be downloaded without the user being authenticated.
The solution is to have a page in the application with an On Load - Before Header process that calls the procedure, with some hidden items as parameters for the procedure. You can then evoke the procedure by branching to the page in the usual way and setting the page items in the URL. This will also allow you to add the additional Apex security features such as Session State Protection (Page requires a Checksum). Remember to revoke the execute privileges from Public.
Change the report link to:
SELECT some_columns,
NVL2(my_file,'Download',null) link
FROM your_table Then use the 'column link' region to create the link in the usual way and set the Link Text to #LINK#. If you have set the target page to require a Checksum this will then be added without having to code it into your sql.
I hope that makes some sense?

Referencing report columns in the BLOB download link format mask

Hi there,
In a basic report (Apex 4) I have a link to download a BLOB stored in the table. However to save space, instead of using 2 columns, one for the file name and one for the download link, I want to use only one column where the file name is the download link itself.
To do this, I tried using this download link format mask (ATTACH_FILENAME is the report column that contains the file name):
DOWNLOAD:ATTACHMENTS:ATTACH_BLOB:ATTACHMENT_ID::ATTACH_MIME_TYPE:ATTACH_FILENAME:::attachment:#ATTACH_FILENAME#
However it shows #ATTACH_FILENAME# in all rows instead of the actual file name!
I know that using substitution strings (&) works, so is there a way to also reference report columns in this format mask?
Thanks
Luis

Luis, did you finally resolve this? I have the same question.

Download Link as a Column of Report

Hi All,
I really tried from my side to somehow implement this requirement but couldn't find a way.
Requirement: A report with two main columns - One has unique value and the other has a download link. This download link need to be used to fetch a set of data from the database table using the other column's (unique) value. Then, user should get a popup on his screen to download the fetched data in csv format.
Please give some guidance or pointers to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Mangal

Hi Mangal
I've done this before actually. You can create a dummy page with a process (on load before header) as a PL/SQL anonymous block. I got code from Denes Kubicek's site which has details of how to generate CSV output using the htp.prn funtion. Then I created the 'download' link in a report column to go to that page passing a value into a hidden field with the unique id of the row.
The code on the new page looks something like this but I would refer to Denes' work for full information (most of this is copied from him).
BEGIN
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.csv"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.prn('Header Name,');
FOR x IN   (SELECT field1, field2, field3...
              FROM my_table
              WHERE my_id = :PX_HIDDEN_ID)
LOOP
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
htp.prn(chr(34)||x.field1   || chr(34) ||','|| chr(34) || x.field2   || chr(34) ||',' ||
         chr(34)||x.field3..... || chr(34) ||chr(13));
END LOOP;
-- Send an error code so that the
-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
END;Hope this helps.
Cheers
Ben
