Dynamic Sorting - XML Publsiher

I have read Klaus Fabian blog on this topic.
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/05/26
As per the manual on page 2-81 Oracle applications does not support passing parameters into the templates. Is there any alternative to achieve this same task without using <xsl: parameters ?
eg. I have one column "SORT_COLUMN" it has value as SAL.
I have employee data where I have to sort the data based on the value which is stored in "SORT_COLUMN" field.
so I can populate "ENAME" to "SORT_COLUMN" field and data will be sorted in ename field. ( I can populate SORT_COLUMN value in the query)
Thanks,

Hi,
Can you sort the data at XML generation time? Not sure if you're using Reports or Data Definition or PL/SQL ... doesn't matter anyway.
What manual are you referring to? You can pass in a parameter to data definition and template...

Enable Dynamic Sorting in Tabular Report

Hi All,
I have 100's of reports and i need to enable dynamic sorting for the columns in tabular report.
Just wanted to know which tag i need to put in advanced tab of the report where i can set the XML.
Please guide

Thanks Krishna..
I have done that for one report and i want to do it for the remaining 99 reports.As i have to run each and every report and then enable dyamic sorting which is pain...so i was just thinking if there is any property in advanced tab of the tabular report where i can do it and then set the XML for the reports

Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

Hi
I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
Now by using the sort control i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
a) first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
b) then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
c) now sorts on the rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
Now other user may do
a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
b) then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
c) now user sorts on the region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
Please let me know if you require any information on the same.

Hello,
   Good Day!
   Thanks for your answer.
   Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
   Do i need to create a static parameter?
   I get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
   i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like
    (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
    & " " & {@date}
   else
    IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
    " " &{@date}
   else
   IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
     " " &{@date})
    I could not understand what this formula is really doing .
    Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
              Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
              Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :- ??
             Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :- Filed names ??
             use of 1.{} :- ??
step3: place the below formula in the page header to display the sort order
    (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
in this case how the sort control will work ?
As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
The report is used by the whole organization ..
i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

smitha.

How to acheive Pagination and Dynamic sorting in Web layout.

Hi All,
I'm new to Oracle Reports. I use Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
I tried creating a template for simple tabular report. I modified the tempalte for Paper layout, Web layout ie modified .tdf, html, css files.
When the data is dispalyed in the web browser, i need to do Pagination and dynamic sorting (ie when the column heading is clicked, it needs to do sorting by that column).
In the jsp page of the report, it is possible but i want to incorporate this functionality in the Template. So that a single template can be used across multiple reprots with out any modification.
Can any one please tell me how to do this.
Please reply me at the earliest. Its very urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
P. Gayathri Devi

Igor,
You'll need to switch from using Partial Page Rendering to full page submits on that report. In version 4.0 we should be getting more control over event handling in PPRs but to what extent is still unknown.

Dynamic sorting in pivot view

Hello
Can someone please point me to the OBIEE Oracle documentation where I can find "How to make dynamic sorting work in a pivot table view".
I have many pivot views on a dashboard. Clicking on the measure columns "Sort Ascending" and "Sort Descending" did not use to sort the columns in 10g. But I have found on this link
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9321054#9321054
that dynamic sorting can be now done in pivot views. But I am unable to find Oracle documentation on it that tells me how.
We have upgraded to 11.1.1.7 but still I am unable to do sorting in pivot views on dashboards
Thanks

Devendra,
you cannot have both status and status icon in the same column. so create a new column and then populate it according to the status.
here is the sample code from the layout section of document_todo.htm

          <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "AP_STATUS_NAME"
                                 width      = "150"
                                 type       = "IMAGE" >
          </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
          <%
              data: status_icon type string.
              if APPLICATION->T_DOCUMENTS_TODO-AP_STATUS = '2'.
              status_icon = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( id = 'ICON_WS_PLANE' ).
              else.
              endif.
          %>
          <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName          = "STATUS SIGN"
                                 type                = "user"
                                 title               = "STATUS ICON"

Query on sorting XML using XSLT and getting the same XML as output !

Hi,
Looking for one information regarding sorting XML using XSLT , with the sorted XML as output. For eg. my XML is :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sort1.xsl"?>
<levelone>
     <child ID="1" sort="5">
          <name>Paul</name>
     </child>
     <child ID="2" sort="1">
          <name>Adam</name>
     </child>
     <child ID="3" sort="2">
          <name>Will</name>
     </child>
</levelone>
and XSL :
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/levelone">
     <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates>
          <xsl:sort select="@sort"/>
     </xsl:apply-templates>
          </xsl:copy>
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template match="child">
          <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This does the sort based on Name. But I want to get the same xml as output with the name sorted. Eg.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sort1.xsl"?>
<levelone>
     <child ID="2" sort="1">
          <name>Adam</name>
     </child>
     <child ID="1" sort="5">
          <name>Paul</name>
     </child>
     <child ID="3" sort="2">
          <name>Will</name>
     </child>
</levelone>
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Don't you want <xsl:sort select="name"/> rather than <xsl:sort select="@sort"/>?

Insert a trademark symblol to my swf dynamicly using XML

hello there,
i am trying to insert a trademark symblol to my swf dynamicly
using XML,
i tried every thing i could "caved the xml in every format
known to man kind, wrote some AS script to replace thin join, i
tried to hard code the symble" but nothing worked.
i am running flash8.
help is needed plz.
today is the DEAD LINE.
plz.

Okay, test files are up in the following directory:
www.saffronthread.com/test
You can guess which ones are for you. I didn't deal with the
whole IE stupidness, so you my need to click on the page. But I've
got several different text fields some runtime some author
environment and sample text. Works for me on Mac and on the PC I
checked. Let me know what you find out.
As for System.useCodePage it is very seldom an actual
solution to the problem. It is a solution for when you want to be
sure that the user's Flash Plugin uses the computer's code page for
text rendering. Read the help entry for it and you will see that it
is not a solution for making sure that the most people possible
will correctly receive my text. It is more a solution for, I want
to make sure that those with Chinese operating systems are able to
correctly see the Chinese text I have encode with my special
encoding.
Most questions that get a "Oh, you must use
System.useCodePage answer" are more like, "I want to make sure that
everybody on every type of system can see my special characters."
The answer for that tends toward proper use of UTF-8 and that is my
guess for your problem. That your XML file is not being saved as
UTF-8. If System.useCodePage is helping you that tells me that your
XML editor is saving to some odd (maybe very popular, but not
UTF-8) encoding.

Can I 'sort' XML in Flash

Hello,
Is it possible to sort XML in any way in Flash?
For example in MYSQL I can SELECT a column and ORDER BY...
In Flash I need to SELECT an XML child object and sort all
parent items
accordingly.
Thanks,
David

It would be great if there was a way in Flash 8 to sort XML
based on a
certain element without duplicating work making an array?
See a simple XML example below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<data>
<item>
<title>Apple</title>
<price>7</ price>
</item>
<item>
<title>Carrot</title>
<price>2</ price>
</item>
<item>
<title>Banana</title>
<price>6</ price>
</item>
</data>
If I could sort this by cheapest price, this would give
results -
1. Carrot
2. Banana
3. Apple
Or by Alphabetical order:
1. Apple
2. Banana
3. Carrot
Any suggestions - is this possible with the Flash XML object?

Dynamic SORT with multiple components

Hi all,
I want to sort an internal table in this way:
SORT itab BY (component).
This is not difficult if "component" contains the name of ONE column of itab. But - and here is my problem - how can I sort with multiple components?
Like this:
SORT itab BY (comp_1) (comp_2) ... (comp_N).
The number of components (N) shall be flexible. It is not possible to concatenate the components into one string-variable. This causes an error ITAB_ILLEGAL_COMPONENT.
Brillant would be a solution which also contains the sort-direction (ASCENDING or DESCENDING for each component like this:
SORT itab BY (comp_1) (dir_1)
(comp_2) (dir_2)
(comp_N) (dir_N).
Is there a way to do so?
Thanks for all hints!
Mathias

Hi Matahias ...
From ABAP help...
SORT itab.
Extras:
1. ... BY f1 f2 ... fn
2. ... ASCENDING
3. ... DESCENDING
4. ... AS TEXT
5. ... STABLE
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Field symbols not allowed as sort criterion.
Effect
The entries in the internal table are sorted in ascending order using the key from the table definition (DATA, TYPES).
Addition 1
... BY f1 f2 ... fn
Effect
Uses the sort key defined by the sub-fields f1, f2, ..., fn of the table itab instead of the table key. The fields can be of any type; even number fields and tables are allowed.
You can also specify the sort fields dynamically in the form (name). If name is blank at run time, the sort field is ignored. If itab is a table with a header line, you can also use a field symbol pointing to the header line of itab as a dynamic sort criterion. A field symbol that is not assigned is ignored. If a field symbol is assigned, but does not point to the header line of the internal table, a runtime error occurs.
If the line type of the internal table contains object reference variables as components, or the entire line type is a reference variable, you can use the attributes of the object to which a reference is pointing in a line as sort criteria (see Attributes of Objects as the Key of an Internal Table
You can address the entire line of an internal table as the key using the pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE. This is particularly relevant for tables with a non-structured line type when you want to address the whole line as the key of the table (see also Pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE With Internal Tables).
If you use one of the additions 2 to 5 before BY, it applies to all fields of the sort key by default. You can also specify these additions after each individual sort field f1, f2, ..., fn. For each key field, this defines an individual sort rule which overrides the default.
Cheers

How to implement Dynamic Sort to an SQL classic report?

Hi,
I'm trying to implement dynamic sort to my working sql classic report, when user selects order by column from select item(action as submit page), the report should be refreshed and display with the selected column sort order.
But not able to do so.
Report Query:
Select a, b, c from sample order by :P1_ORDER_BY
P1_ORDER_BY - Select Item:
STATIC2: Column 1;a, Column 2;b, Column 3;c
Running page, report doesnt sorts in any of the column priority.
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Krishna

Of course the select item is in use.
It should submit the the page on select so you can retrieve the current value in you report select statement.
look here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=21296:2:
table:
create table sample
a varchar2(30)
, b varchar2(30)
, c varchar2(30)
insert into sample values('a','z','k');
insert into sample values('b','y','d');
insert into sample values('c','x','a');
insert into sample values('d','w','b');
commit;
Select List:
P2_ORDER_BY
STATIC:Order by A;A,Order by B;B,Order by C;C
Report select:
select
a,b,c
from sample
order by
decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'A',a,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'B',b,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'C',c,null)Marc

Dynamic sort

Good afternoon Everyone,
Expert Ammad Ahmed guided to dynamic sort in running time.
if you want to make the dynamic order...then
SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN2...
FROM TABLE
WHERE ...
&P_ORDER_BY -- It will create parameter in report called "P_ORDER_BY"
So at the time of running report you will have to pass value in this parameter like this...
ORDER BY FIELD_NAME -- Here field name is any field you want to order from your query.
Moreover, nothing is simple for us.
We have ORA - 00920 message and we wish more hands.
Thanks in advance,
NY

Parameter with & Sign:
Creating parameter like this called. Lexical Parameters. So lexical mean you can pass the statements in the parameters which can take place in main query. As i showed you for order by. So suppose if you use the query which you posed then query will create parameter as i mentioned before. Then you will have to pass the complete order by statement like this...
ORDER BY column_name -- any one which used in select queryParameter with colon *:*
It create normal data parameter. So. while running report user will pass single value for the parameter as you will use in query with = sign.

Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a TextInput using BindingUtils?

The question is: Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a
TextInput component using BindingUtils?
Now I use following codes:

<mx:TextInput id="txtDemo"/>
<mx:Button label="Test" click="test()"/>
My really idea is when bindable xml property is changed, then
the textinput will be updated as hoped. However, no update happens
to me when I click the Test button.
But, if I make codes like that:
<mx: TextInput id="txtDemo" text="{xml.label}"/>
the text will updated when xml changs.
So, what happened, I indeed need the dynamicly bind to the
textinput compont.
Help me. thanks.

You could use an ObjectProxy since all subproperties will
then be bindable:
private var _xml:XML =
<item><label>list1</label></item>;
private var _opXML:ObjectProxy = new ObjectProxy(_xml);
then in your init() function you declare _opXML as the host
object with the bindable property "label"...
// initialize code for application's initialize event
public function init(): void {
BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtDemo, "text", _opXML, "label");
//click event
private function test(): void {
_opXML.label = "something";
You'll notice that if you check your original _xml.label
property with ChangeWatcher.canWatch(), it returns false. But if
you create a dedicated object with a property that can be declared
as bindable, canWatch() returns true. You'd probably be best off to
write a lightweight class that can act as your model if you want to
work with dynamic XML binding using Actionscript. This will allow
you to use a bindable getter and setter that will give you the
dynamic functionality you're looking for.
Hope that helps.
