Dynamic change of headings in SQL Report

Can you dynamically change a reports Column Heading Text. I want a selected value from the database to become 1 of the column headings.

If you are ready to take bit of trouble and modify the generated package body. you can try the following.
1. go to the procedure show_internal in the generated package body.
2. you will see PORTAL30.wwv_user_utilities.add_other_arguments(
3. 'p_other_args' parameter has "_col_headings" as one of the values.
4. the corresponding 'p_other_vals' values will show up in the report column heading. [ an example is PORTAL30.wwv_user_lang.lang('Empno') ]
So if you can pass your 'dynamic' heading values here, you can change the report heading dynamically.

Dynamically changing the layout of thre report-urgent please

Can we change the layout of the report dynamically during runtime for example:the user should have flexibility to change the width, size , position of columns before the report is displayed & also he choose some fields not to display as per his discretion.
Mahesh

There are several ways of doing this, it really depends on your requirements as to which is suitable. (There are probably other ways of doing this as well).
- Try Reports XML Customizations
This is available in 6i and allows you to create a report dynamically on the fly. The template used will also allow you to change the paper size as well. The main limitation is that you are relying only on Reports defaulting to create the layout for you. The advantage is that you can store all your information to create the report in meta-data which can be driven by another tool.
- Use lexical parameters for queries and format triggers
Here, you have a fixed layout but dynamically change the query columns to the correct order. You would normally standardise on a "character" column type in order to do this. Even though the layout is fixed, you can use variable sized fields to push objects around. This can be difficult to setup.
- Use several layouts
You're reducing the options for the user, but you can have several layouts in the same report and turn them on/off. Effectively creating differing views of the same data.

Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription

So, I am having this odd issue after our Sysadmin changed my user name from what it used to be to something new.
Now, subscriptions for reports that I had created for users are not working anymore. And it gives me following error,
Failure sending mail: The user or group name 'DOMAIN\MyUser' is not recognized.Mail will not be resent.
A quick Google, landed me on
this old tip from MSDN about changing owner of report. According to that tip all I have to do is to update all entries in "subscriptions" table from older user to new user id, but for that new user should exist in "users"
table but in my case it didn't exist. So as suggested in very bottom of that same tip, I created (and deleted) bunch of items using Report Server Manager. But it didn't create my new user.
Then, I removed old subscription and created new subscription. But it still shows my old username as owner of that subscription.
So my question is, how do I change Owner of Subscription ?
UPDATE:
I forgot to mention that I am using SQL Server 2008 SP3
TIA,
Jack

ListSubscriptions only takes one argument...
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/reportservice2010.reportingservice2010.listsubscriptions.aspx
If i grab the first 4 lines of that script then write the subscriptions variable to screen i can see all my subscriptions in our system.
As mentioned the script is meant to get you started. It could be failing on the authentication. So depending on how your system is configured you might need to do something different in how you connect. You'll probably have to do a little
research to get everything to match up with your environment and configuration.
I am not sure if it has something to do or not ... but I am using SQL Server 2008 SP3. And so if I use code like below,
$ssrsProxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "http://<report server>/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx" -UseDefaultCredential
$ssrsProxy | Get-Member
Then I can see that ListSubscriptions has following definition, and it shows that it is actually expecting 2 arguments.
ListSubscriptions Method Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewWebserviceProxy.AutogeneratedTypes.reportservice2005_asmx.Subscription[] ListSubscriptions(string Report, string Owner)
May be it is because I am using SQL Server 2008 ... not sure.

Dynamically change number of columns in report

all,
I am trying to change the number of columns in a report dynamically as in this sample(http://actionet.homelinux.net/htmldb/f?p=LSPDEMO:60:11041263091189::NO:::) , can somebody who has this code kindly send it to me or make reference...i'll appreciate

But Howards solution is easier to follow and works perfectly with a shuttle.
Define a function like this:
create or replace FUNCTION item_in_list(p_num IN NUMBER, p_shuttle_name in VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
    l_vc_arr2   APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
    TYPE number_list is TABLE OF NUMBER;
    num_list number_list := number_list();
    x_ret NUMBER;
BEGIN
    /* checks if p_num exists in the colon delimited list p_shuttle_name */
        l_vc_arr2 := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(p_shuttle_name);
        FOR i IN 1..l_vc_arr2.COUNT LOOP
            num_list.EXTEND;
            num_list(i):= CAST(l_vc_arr2(i) AS NUMBER);
        END LOOP;
        IF p_num MEMBER OF num_list then
            return 1;
        else
            return 0;
        end if;
END;
And then for every column put a condition (Function returning boolean) like this:
begin
if item_in_list(1, : p10_shuttle) = 1 then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end;
where 1 in my case is the return lov value.
This is if your shuttle's return value is numeric and display value is varchar2. If both are varchar2 use instr as Howard suggested.
Its probably not as fancy as the Jquery one but gets the job done.

Change Column Headings in ALV Report Using OO

Hi Friends,
I am using OO to display a report with ALV Grid
I tried to change the column names but it still takes the column names from the DDIC.
My declaration is as follows

Hey hello,
you have to change short medium and log text
look at this:
gr_columns = (Table got from factory)->get_columns( ).
gr_column = gr_columns->get_column('NAme').
gr_column->set_long_text('new name long').
gr_column->set_medium_text('new name medium').
gr_column->set_short_text('new name short ).
it will help
thanks

Changing Text Headings in Web Report

Hi SDN,
Can you please assist us in this scenario, as i have not worked with Table Interface Class previously, and if you can help out with the steps it would be much appreciated.
We have created a query which uses 2 structures in the Rows area. To this extent, we have dragged the fiscal year period characteristic in the column area.
Rather than being able to use a 3rd structure, we now have in the columns area
JUN 2006 | JUL 2006..... | DEC 2006
What we would like to see instead is:
JUN 2006 | JUL 2006..... | DEC 2006
Actual Forecast Forecast
If you can provide sample code and or steps to achieve this situation, it would assist us greatly.
Thank you.

Dynamically changing the report path

Is there any way to dynamically change the path where the reports are saved. Teststand 4.1.1
Message Edited by glennjammin on 04-21-2010 03:30 PM

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes you can run a VI in the ReportOptions Sequence, add it to the Setup of that sequence. If you dont use FileGlobals.Dated anywhere else then use a Local instead. Just remeber FileGlobals are only global to sequences that are contained in a SequenceFile. They are not global across SequenceFile unless you are using the Batch Process Model.
You will probably have to set a number of other parameters up to work with ReportOptions.Directory. The best way to handle this is to setup up you exact conditions statically (ie via the Config | Report Options... menu ). Place a breakpoint in the ReportOptions (use a label if you dont have any steps in the ReportOptions sequence at the moment) and run your Sequence. Remeber to use Test UUTs or Single Pass. You dont have to use your full test sequence just create a simple one step sequence.
When you reach the break point, then you can browse the Parameters.ReportOptions and see what properties are required to ensure your reports are setup correctly.
Hope this helps.

#static-region-id td[headers="COL_ALIAS"] {

<style>OR
Use the Column Definition > Column Width column attribute to set the width in pixels (note that this value is just the number of pixels "400", no unit is specified as in CSS).
OR
Use the Column Formatting > CSS Class column attribute to set the width of the column contents:

Changing database server on a report with subreports = formula error

Good morning,
I currently have several reports that print out, and were developed attached to our development database. However, I need to be able to dynamically change the server that the report uses according to the server configured in our application. Each of these reports contains one or more subreports, which point to the same server and database as the main report. All reports, both the main and subreports, are based on manual SQL commands.
I'm running into some significant issues. So significant, in fact, that we were forced to deploy our application with reports that had been switched to our production environment in the designer in order to get them functional. This is, obviously, not an acceptable or long-term solution.
I've gone round and round a couple of times I get different results with different methods of changing this information. I'll outline them below. First, my current code:
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
                Console.WriteLine("Report \"{0}\"", report.Name);
                foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
                    logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                    connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                    connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                    connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                    logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                    table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    Console.WriteLine("\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
                foreach (Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    foreach (ReportObject ro in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (ro.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject sro = (SubreportObject)ro;
                            ReportDocument subreport = report.OpenSubreport(sro.SubreportName);
                            Console.WriteLine("\tSubreport \"{0}\"", subreport.Name);
                            foreach (Table table in subreport.Database.Tables)
                                logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                                connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                                connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                Console.WriteLine("\t\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
Using this approach, my console output prints what I expect and want to see: the correct server and database information, and True for TestConnectivity for all reports and subreports. The two reports I have that have no subreports print out correctly, with data from the proper server. However, all of the reports with subreports fail with formula errors. If this procedure is not run, they work just fine on either server.
I had to place the assignment of table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo after the call to ApplyLogOnInfo, as that function did not behave as expected. If I perform the assignment first (or not at all), then calling ApplyLogOnInfo on the outer report's table did NOT affect the values of its ConnectionInfo object, but it DID affect the values of the ConnectionInfo object's of its subreports!
In any event, if anyone could post a code sample of changing database connection information on a report containing subreports, I would appreciate it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and anxiously awaited!

Hi Adam,
Code for changing database connection information on a report containing subreports :
private ReportDocument northwindCustomersReport;
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        northwindCustomersReport = new ReportDocument();
        string reportPath = Server.MapPath("NorthwindCustomers.rpt");
        northwindCustomersReport.Load(reportPath);
        ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
        connectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost";
        connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Northwind";
        connectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = false;
        SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = northwindCustomersReport;
    private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        ConfigureCrystalReports();
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
            TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
            tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    private void SetDBLogonForSubreports(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Sections sections = reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections;
        foreach (Section section in sections)
            ReportObjects reportObjects = section.ReportObjects;
            foreach (ReportObject reportObject in reportObjects)
                if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                    SubreportObject subreportObject = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                    ReportDocument subReportDocument = subreportObject.OpenSubreport(subreportObject.SubreportName);
                    SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, subReportDocument);
Hope this helps!!

Can I change column headings dynamically based on report query conditions ?

Hi All,
Is there a possibility in OBIEE to change the headings of the column dynamically depending on the conditions that i keep on the report query ?
Assume that i am showing an emp table data of one department at a time.
The column heading of employee name should be like <DEPT>_EMP, Where <DEPT> is the department on which i was reporting..
Example:
Report query : Select * from emp where dept = 'PHYSICS'
The column heading of employee name should be PHYSICS_EMP.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
did you try to create a column with the data of dept and put it in a column level of a pivot table?
In the example that you gave, the column head would show 'PHYSICS' because it's the data filtered at your query. Them, you just edit this column and concatenate the '_EMP' string.

PLSQL processing of a dynamic sql report

Hi there,
I have a problem processing a dynamic sql report, specifically in referencing the PL/SQL column headings I have.
Basically I have a report that generates one row for each project a person belongs to, and then using htmldb_item.text creates one field for each day of the week (sysdate - sysdate+6) so that people can enter their hours worked. The idea is they then press a submit button and the hours are entered into a project table something like (date_worked, project_id, hours_worked), one row for each entry.
So I have:
for i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
loop
... err... here I want to insert into the table the values(column_header, project_id, HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i)).. but I don't know how to access that column_header value.
Is this possible and if so, how?
Many thanks,
Tosh.

that gives me the values of the text fields, but what
I'd like to insert is the value of the column
header... so for example:Yes, I understood what you meant. I did have a differect project_id for each INSERT in my SQL above. I guess that should have been day_id
Since you are generating the tabular form SQL manually, you know which htmldb_item.text index corresponds to which column (which represents day_id in your case). So, use this to write 6 INSERT statements, one for each day. day_id would be a number going from 0 thru 6 where 0 represents Sunday and 6 represents Saturday.
Bottom line: This is like generating/updating a calendar, your column headings are always fixed (Sun thru Saturday), just the date they represent would change.

Dynamic SQL report on Oracle apex4.0

Hi Everyone,
I have two reports in one page.One is the Interactive and other is Sql report. Based on the selection of the row(using checkbox) in the interactive report, the sql report has to display the selected columns.
Note :The report has to be loaded whenever a row is selected and without submitting a button
Can anyone please suggest?
I am using oracle Apex4.0
Regards
Raj

I believe you store the values in the checkboxes. For example, your Interactive Report query looks like:
SELECT '<input type=checkbox value='||OBJID||' />' AS CHECKBOX, T.*
FROM SOME_TABLE T
and in "Report Atributes" the CHECKBOX is displayed as "Standard Report Column".
*1.Create a hidden check list input field.*
It will store a list values of selected checkboxes. make it long enough, eg. 1000.
Let's say the input name is: P000_X_CHECK_LIST
*2. Create Dynamic Action*
This dynamic action is supposed to fill in the P000_X_CHECK_LIST with a list of values, separated by ":" character.
These values will be an input for the SQL report.
Name: Update Check List
Event: Change
Selection Type: jQuery Selector
jQuery Selector: input:checkbox
Action: Set Value
Set Type: JavaScript Expression
function check_list() {
var n = "";
$(":checked").each( function () {
n = n + (n === "" ? "" : ":") + $(this).val();
return n;
check_list();
Selection Type: Item(s) - P000_X_CHECK_LIST
*3. Adjust the "SQL report" query with this magic formula*
AND SEARCHED_ITEM IN (
SELECT item
FROM (SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^:]+', 1, LEVEL) item
FROM (SELECT :P000_X_CHECK_LIST str
FROM DUAL)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^:]+')) + 1)
for example:
SELECT O.*
FROM SOME_OTHER_TABLE O
WHERE SEARCHED_ITEM IN (
SELECT item
FROM (SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^:]+', 1, LEVEL) item
FROM (SELECT *:P000_X_CHECK_LIST* str
FROM DUAL)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^:]+')) + 1)
*4. Adjust the Dynamic Action:*
Advanced: Event Scope: "live"
*5. Add one more True action to the Dynamic Action:*
Action: Refresh
Selection type: Region
Region: The region of the "SQL report".
Volia!
Best regards,
Krzysztof

Dynamically change sql query (from statement)

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the 'from statement' dynamically in
report 6i? I have 3 identical tables with different names (each
to collect data in different area) and I want to be able to
dynamically change the sql query at run time so I can use only
one (1) report to print data in 3 different tables.
Is it possible? Thanks for the tip!

Yes you can. Create a user parameter lets say "frm". give the
initial value for the parameter as the table a. Ex : FROM EMP .
Go to the datamodel of the report . Change the query like this,
Original query => Select * from emp
Modified query => Select * &frm
Coz frm has the default value FROM EMP, so it will replace the
default value. When you call the report from differrent product
you can pass the parameter value as table a, table b , table x.
Hope you got your answer.
Thanx

Applying a Template to a Dynamic PL/SQL Report

I have an application in which there are several reports, all based on the wizard and using standard templates.
One of my reports, however is a Dynamic PL/SQL Report, using htp.print statements to create the output.
I'm not quite sure, how I can specify that I want to use the same template as the rest of my reports, so as to maintain the look and feel of the whole application.
Can someone tell me how this is done, or where I can read about it?
Thank you.

Sergio,
I have a table with two columns I want to display. The columns aren't wide but there are 15 or 20 rows. What I would like is that after 10 rows the report starts another set of colums beside the first ones. The standard report continues on down so you have to scroll down to see the bottom. I'm not sure if my explanation is clear so instead of:
1 info1
2 info2
3 info3
4 info4
5 info5
6 info6
I want:
1 info1 4 info4
2 info2 5 info5
3 info3 6 info6
Not being too picky, it could also be:
1 info1 2 info2
3 info3 4 info4
5 info5 6 info6
I don't see a way of doing this with standard reporting so a PL/SQL report seems to be the way to go (which works fine except for the formatting). Sorry if I've just missed it in the options. I'd prefer to do it using standard HTMLDB
Thanks.

Dynamically change the db and server in execute sql task

Pkg 2: Moves data from B_STG (Staging DB) to B_Det_STG (Staging DB) ---- option1
Pkg 3: Moves data from B_STG (Staging DB) to B_Det (PC DB) ---- option2
This part is duplicating in both the packages
So they want me to merge both of them into in execute sql task and dynamically change between option1 and option2 depending on a pkg level variable.
So, I create a pkg level variable called ExecutionVariable: 'ANALYSIS' or 'LOADING'
If 'ANALYSIS' it needs to do option1 else option2.
So, I ma trying to create a dynamic connection string in execute sql task.

1. Create OLE DB Connection pointing to any database then set expression to connection string variables like below.
Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=YourDBname;Data Source=YourServerName.
2. Make Delayed Validation property to "True".
3. Set the created dynamic OLE DB connection to your Execute SQL task.
4. Change the connection string variable accordingly before running the "Execute SQL" task.
Hope it will help you.
