Dropdown lists appearing behind report regions

Has anyone encountered their dropdown lists disappearing behind page items. I have a report which sits just under the dropdown menus(lists). In the report I'm using HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY items. It displays fine but when I drop down a list, they disappear behind these items on the report.
Am I doing something really dumb?
Many thanks for any help.
Mary

Hi Mary,
Welcome to the wonderful world of IE and SELECT tags!
I think that there's nothing for it but to extend your javascript to make all of the select items invisible whilst a menu is open. How you do this depends on how smart you want the page to be. The idea is to set the SELECT objects style.visibility value to either "visible" or "hidden".
Something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHide(sVisibility)
var xx = document.getElementsByTagName("SELECT");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < xx.length; i++)
xx[i].style.visibility = sVisibility;
</script>
Call this function as either "showHide('hidden');" or "showHide("visible");" as appropriate within the code that opens or closes the menu.
You could extend this to only show/hide those select elements that would actually be covered by the menu - this is doable but a bit of a pain as you have to identify the x and y co-ordinates of the select object and the menu div. Only do this if you really need to.

Creating a Month dropdown list for a report with multiple datasets

I am currently working on a report that contains many charts that rely on multiple datasets. Currently, I have parameters @StartDate and @EndDate to display the information of the previous month across all the charts as my default value. Now, I would like
to create a dropdown list so that the user can pick any month, and have the report display the data across all the charts for that particular month, while keeping the display of the previous month as the default value. Can anyone help as to how I can approach
this. Would I have to use an expression when I specify my available values, or would I have to create a dataset to get the value of all 12 months? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is essentially where I am having some trouble, as in creating the dataset that returns the individual months of the year as I am relatively to the use of SSRS. Could you possibly elaborate on how I can do so? Thank you in advance!
Create a dataset in SSRS
Inside dataset properties map datasource and then inside give command like
DECLARE @Month int = 5 --example value
SELECT ...
FROM Table
WHERE datefield >= DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(yy,0,GETDATE())*12 +(@Month-2),0)
AND datefield < DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(yy,0,GETDATE())*12 +(@Month-1),0)
then on refresh it will take field information and parameter information by itself.

Dropdown list in BEx report

Hi Experts,
I am a portal consultant and working on presenting BI reports in Portal. While running my BI reports in portal i have encountered an error.
Whenever I try selecting the drop down list for a field (which is set as default and mandatory) in the variable screen of the BEx report, it is throwing an error. Where as for other fields, the drop down is working fine. This is happening for many reports which have the fields which are set to be default and mandatory
The error that is being shown is as follows:
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Full Exception Chain:
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.runtime.DialogException: Error in rendering root for dialog "SELECTOR"

Hope I am clear in explaining the problem.
Can anyone help me resolving the issue?
Thank You.

LiveCycle 8.1 on Vista: dropdown list box doesn't show all values

On Vista Business O/S, in LiveCycle 8.1, I am using a dropdown list for 254 items, not dynamically loaded (all values are declared in the definition of the object). When the form runs, the dropdown list appears. I can scroll through the list. However, the scroll stops short, never showing the last few items on the list.<br /><br /> Is there some limit I have exceeded or is there some know bug I have encountered or is there some other action I need to take so I can choose any item from the dropdown list?<br /><br /> Dropdown list box is defined as user-entered - optional, default <none>.<br />254 text items, longest item is 19 characters, average item is 10 characters long. <br /><br /> Thanks in advance for any help, hints, or tips you provide.<br /><br />Dr. Dave Dyer

Dear Friends....
it seems to be a bug of the SQL Server Data Tools, (SQL Server 2012 SP2)... I did the deploy of my Dashboard, (and details Reports), to my Test Reporting Services Server.. and everything works as expected....

Choicebox lists appearing in the wrong place

Hi
Having a problem with ChoiceBox. I have a scene with lots of displayed information and a number of choiceboxes. I also have a scene which is much smaller and only displays the most important information. When I switch to the small screen and then back again, the choicebox dropdown lists appear at the top left of my screen, not below the box as expected. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

If it's an embedded applet, then it's a known issue http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15970 (Popups aren't drawn in the right place in applet mode).
Otherwise it would seem like an unrecorded bug, in which case file the bug with a minimal test case at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com, and post a link to the bug in a reply to this thread.

Classic report regions not executing queries after clicking in a chart link

I have a chart region with a link to page passing values to select list items, but report regions are not loading.
This is the link generated at chart series:
f?p=106:32:1310398926027:::RP:P32_DATE_SELECT,P32_SERVICE,P32_RESOURCE,P32_ROLE_ID:09%2F02%2F2013,1,EDER%20ZAVALA,1
All page items passed are filled correctly, but report regions don't show any data.
Please notice I am using two LOV where second one is showing values according the first one selected and doing the submit event where report regions are showing the result of the queries executed.
Report regions shows data when I do the select of page items manually, but not when I pass those values thru link url
I am using Oracle APEX 4.2.2.00.11
Please advise
Thanks,
Cesar

Refresh PL/SQL Report Region (not Page) using Select List value

Hi,
I've got a report region based on a 'PL/SQL function body returning a SQL query'which gets generated on selecting a value from a Select list item, The Select List action is 'Redirect and Set value' but this causes the whole page to refresh rather than just the report region. I've tried to refresh the report only using a dynamic action on the Select List item (Action now reset to 'None') but now the report is not appearing on choosing from the List. Can anyone suggest a solution that will allow me to refresh this report without refreshing the page? I am using APEX 4.2.2 and the report syntax is as follows:
DECLARE
v_statement VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
SELECT query_text
    INTO v_statement
   FROM sql_queries
   WHERE query_id = :P2_QUERY ;
   RETURN v_statement ;
END ;
where P2_QUERY is Select List Item,
regards,
Kevin.

The report region being displayed is conditional on P2_QUERY item being NOT NULL. I assume the region not appearing is because the Action for the Select List Item is set to None and so P2_QUERY is always NULL.
No, the region is not appearing because it is conditional on P2_QUERY being NOT NULL. This means that the report region never exists on the page shown in the browser, so it can't be dynamically refreshed. (Dynamic refresh doesn't evaluate region conditions, and it only re-renders the report content, not the entire region.)
Remove the condition on the report region, check the refresh is working, then reconsider exactly what the requirements here are. If you want the region to appear only when P2_QUERY has a value, and you want it to be refreshed without submitting and re-rendering the page, then the region needs to be hidden rather than conditionally rendered, and shown via a dynamic action when P2_QUERY gets a value.
I tried adding an additional Set Value True Action for the DA event but got an error as listed above,
All irrelevant if Page Items to Submit on the region is used properly.

SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

Customizing MSS reporting selection period dropdown list

We have diffrent ABAP programs that uses the PNP logical database and we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the MSS reporting iview. In same scenarios we want to display only 'Today'. In these scenarios we use the report together with a variant.
When the user execute the report, the selection period on the variant is used and that is 100% correct. The problem is that the user change the selection period on the frontend (on the Iview) and this is not what is reflected on the output of the report, becasue the report uses a variant.
Therefore we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the Iviewin the scenarios where a report uses a variant.
I know that we cannot customize the perido selction on the Iview, beacue we cannot set the properties on the Iview.
Is anybody familiar with how we can accomplish this.

Hi Darren,
We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

To display the list of File Name in a report region from a Directory

Hello All,
Can any one guide me in displaying the list of file name from a file system directory in a report region with link?
On click of the link it should display the open/save dialog box.
I will appreciate the early solution. (It is bit urgent)
Thanks,
Shyam

A quick, "dirty solution would be to have a cron job (I am assuming you are on a UNIX-based system) that populates a file periodically with the names of files in a directory/directories. Then have an external table that points to that file. You can then create an Apex report that lists the contents of the external table.
1) crontab job:
ls -1 /source_dir/* > /destination_dir/file.list
2) create external table:
CREATE DIRECTORY filedir AS ' destination_dir ';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY xfer_files TO public;
CREATE TABLE file_list_ext (file_names VARHCAR2(100))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY files_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
(file_name)
LOCATION ('file.list')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
3) create APEX report on table: file_list_ext
Hope this helps.

Select list in report region.Everything is not in order...

I want to have a select item in a report region. The selected item in de select list is the "master" for the records in the region. It was working fine but after dropping another region on the same page the select list is now shown beneath the report instead of on top of the report. I can't find a way to get it back on top.
As a matter of fact I can't find any attribute that determines what comes first in this situation. Is it bad practise to use a item in a report region?

Thanks, that's it.
Because I wanted this region to be above two other regions I moved it to page template 2. I did not notice the "items below/items above region content". I guess I need to create a page template region 2 items above content.

Select list with submit issue when they are referred in report region query

I have a page with a reporting region. Same region also has 3 different list items and depending on the value selected in each item, the report is refreshed. All the 3 list items are "Select list submit with submit"
Out of 3 items, 2 (say item2 and item3) are populated through dynamic LOV using the value in item1.
Additionally, when I select a default "ALL" value in in item1, I ignore values in item2 and item3.
With this background, I am a following issue:
1. I select a value other than Default value in item1 which filters the report.
2. Then I select some value in item2 which further shrinks the reports.
3. Now if I go back to item1 and select the default "All" value, the report is not refreshed with the new values of item1, item2 and item3. But it still shows the report based on value of item2 that I selected in step2.
How do I set the value of item2/item3 to null if value of item1 is default which is "All"
Any word of advise will be a great help!
Thanks,
Girish

Hi,
Make two computations each with the computation text NULL; or
Make one process with code like:
BEGIN
:P1_ITEM2 := NULL;
:P1_ITEM3 := NULL;
END;With the condition "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2"
Expression 1: P1_ITEM1
Expression 2: ALL
(or whatever the return value of ALL is...remember that this is case sensitive)

Follow-Up Dropdown Lists Not Appearing in Interaction Record

Dear SAP experts,
I have setup Interaction Record as the leading transaction in the WebIC. In the Follow-Up area, user should be able to select a list of Transaction Type from the drop down menu eg: Sales Order, Service Request etc. I have configured the following but the dropw down menu is still not showing any items. I can however see the items only in SAP GUI, but NOT in the WebUI.
1) Define Copying Control for transaction type eg: ZSIR (interaction record) --> ZSRV (service request)
2) Defined the Transaction Type
3) Defined Business Transaction Profile for ZSIR (interaction record) with Dependent Business Objects include ZSRV (service request)
Could anyone tell me what i am missing? Do i need to perform the copy control for Item Cat as well?
Please advice.
Thanks

I have not even come to that part yet. What i need now is the list of transaction types to be appeared in the Follow-Up drop down. How does partner determination cause whether the list appeared in the drop down or not. There's something really weird, when i unchecked the Settings for Activities for Business Activity Copy Control, one of the item does appeared in the drop down.
