Dynamic SQL for creating report in portal

Has anyone had to create report in Portal using dynamic sql. That is you build up the query commands depending on the parameters entered by the user.
E.g the columns displayed will be what the users has selected in the parameter form.
Urgent reply please,
Femi

Hi,
You can use SQL based reports to do this. The report should have a bind variable. The bind variable is used for the users to enter their values and query is built using the value in the bind variable. The user should enter the value of the bind variable from the customization screen.
Here is an example
select * from scott.emp
where deptno = :vdept
Here vdept appears in the customization screen and user should enter a value for this and run the report.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
contents"
** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        NULL;
WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
        SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
       COMMIT;
END;

Help with Sql for Annual Report per month

Hi, I have been given the task to create an annual report by month that would show company's profits per month and totals in the last column to show which branch had the hightest income.
Branch||January||February||March||April||May||June....||Total||

DEF ||$18.01 ||$3.88 ||$18.01||$4.12||$18.01||$3.97||Total Amt||
Can anyone please help me in giving an idea of how to write sql for this report..? I am building sub-queries for everymonth by giving the dates for Jan/Feb/March..but I think this is not the right way to do this....

You may try a group report on one simple query like:
Select
c.account_id, c.officer, to_char(c.protection_effective, 'MM') month
sum(c.dp_monthly_premium) Commission
From
contract c
Where
c.status='APPROVED' and .....
Group by
c.account_id
c.officer,
to_char(c.protection_effective, 'MM')
break/gropu on account_id, c.officer, to_char(c.protection_effective, 'MM') and total will be automatically calculated by Reports.

Should I use dynamic SQL for simple updates?

Please tell me, out of the two options given below, which option should i use to update columns in a table and why?
what will be the performance difference between the two approaches?
Please note: The options given below is just for an example
procedure proc1(var1 varchar2)
is
begin
update tab1 set col1 = var1;
commit;
end;
procedure proc1(var1 varchar2)
is
sqlstr varchar2(1000);
begin
sqlstr := 'update tab1 set col1 = :v1';
execute immediate sqlstr using var1;
commit;
end;
Thanks
Arun

Performance is not the issue (as long as you are using bind variables).
But with dynamic SQL, you loose compile time checking; you do not know until runtime if the SQL is valid.
You also loose the dependency between proc1 and tab1, which can be found only if you search user_source.
(And in either case, you probably want to remove the commit)

Exchange 2010 SP3 Create Dynamic DL for Direct Reports

I am not sure this is possible but if there is a will there is a way I guess.
System: Exchange 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2
I am trying to see if there is a way to create dynamic DLs for Manager(s) direct reports.
Example: Manager has 5 people that report directly to them, is there a way to make an dynamic email distribution list that will poll the direct reports as people leave or hired.
I know I can create one manually but some depts. may have high turnover rates which increase overhead so I am just trying to simplify the process. I of course googled my question but not getting the results I intended.
Thanks.

hi,
as from above i understand you are asking about creating an custom attribute and then referencing them .. if yes please check below command
Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit Sales | Set-Mailbox CustomAttribute1 "SalesOU"Now you can create an e-mail address policy for all recipients that have the CustomAttribute1 property that equals SalesOU, as shown in this example.
New-EmailAddressPolicy -Name "Sales" -RecipientFilter { CustomAttribute1 -eq "SalesOU"} -EnabledEmailAddressTemplates "SMTP:%s%[email protected] check this.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee423541%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
Thanks

Dynamic publishing of crystal report in portal.

Hi All,
My understanding of publishing Crystal Report in portal is using the URL iview, is my understanding correct.
I have checked this in [Integration of BOE XI3.1 into the SAP Enterprise Portal 7.x|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofBOEXI3.1intotheSAPEnterprisePortal+7.x] wiki
and my question is, when publishing the crystal report from Crystal Report Designer, it is published in BI via the bw publisher and saved under some BW role. Is it possible to display the saved report in portal with out creating the url iview as an object of pcd in portal, i mean the report which is saved under BW role needs to be displayed dynamically in portal with out iview creation. Is this possible.
Can someone comment on this.
Many Thanks,
Ansar

Hi Ansar,
The Crystal reports can be used for publishinh good quality gralha and charts through BW. though making a URL iView is not the only option.
Good examples of Crystal report usage have been explained in the link below:
[Crystal Report with BW|http://www.bi-expertonline.com/article.cfm?id=3666]

Dynamic Query for a report

Hi,
I have to generate a report which contains a query with database link. This database link is not hard coded and would be picked up from another report which contans a link to this report. So this database link value for the query could be any. Can anyone guide me hot to write a dynamic select statement so that i could append database link value at run time.
Thanks
Salman

Hi,
You can not directly use a PL/SQL query to create an Interactive Report - that is not yet available.
What you could do is create a collection from your query and then use that for the report. Have a look at: [http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/advnc.htm#BABGHJFD].
In there, you will see APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY - this allows you to create a collection from a string. You could add a PL/SQL process to your page that runs "On Load: Before Header" that actually creates the collection. Something like:
BEGIN
IF APEX_COLLECTION.COLLECTION_EXISTS('MYCOLLECTIONNAME') THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.DELETE_COLLECTION('MYCOLLECTIONNAME');
END IF;
APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY('MYCOLLECTIONNAME','MY SQL QUERY STRING');
END;Your Interactive Report can then be based on:
SELECT SEQ_ID, C001, C002, C003, ...
FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS
WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'MYCOLLECTIONNAME'The tricky part is the headings as these would tend to be the SEQ_ID, C001, C002, C003, etc column names from the collection itself.
To get around this, make sure that the report's sql statement includes as many Cnnn columns as you will need for the widest of the reports. Before doing anything else, run the report once to make sure that all these columns are included in the output.
Then, through Shared Components, Application Items, create items that will hold heading names - for example, G_HEADING1, G_HEADING2 etc - one for each possibile column.
Now, update the process to:
BEGIN
IF APEX_COLLECTION.COLLECTION_EXISTS('MYCOLLECTIONNAME') THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.DELETE_COLLECTION('MYCOLLECTIONNAME');
END IF;
IF ..test1.. THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY('MYCOLLECTIONNAME','MY SQL QUERY STRING 1');
:G_HEADING1 := 'ColumnHeading1Value';
:G_HEADING2 := 'ColumnHeading2Value';
:G_HEADING3 := NULL; -- column not used for this query, so set it to null
ELSIF ..test2 .. THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY('MYCOLLECTIONNAME','MY SQL QUERY STRING 2');
:G_HEADING1 := 'ColumnHeading1Value';
:G_HEADING2 := 'ColumnHeading2Value';
:G_HEADING3 := 'ColumnHeading3Value';
ELSIF ...etc...
.. etc ...
END IF;
END;Finally, on the report itself, set the column headings to *&G_HEADING1.*, *&G_HEADING2.* etc. Then, on each column, set a Condition of "Value of Item in Expression 1 is NOT NULL" and in Expression 1, enter in the application item for that column - eg, G_HEADING1
I have done all that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=16338:5] - select either Departments or Employees from the list and the report will change.

I've come across a requirement that needs to build a report.
However, the set of definitions defined for the report output might change over time.
Now every time the Definitions change, the User might have to request the change in the report through a development.
Is there a way, where the Users can maintain certain set of rules and which can be maintained easily, but also allow the report to dynamically pick up the logic that it needs to process the data to the required output layout.
To explain a little more in detail;
Data from ZTABLEA is reported out by issuing each line with a BucketID.
The report will aggregate the data to each Bucket Levels in output.
But, The Logic for issuing the ZTABLEA line with a BucketID can change over time.
So, a ZTABLEA line which was issued a BucketID_1 initially when FIELD1 of ZTABLEA = A,
can later be assigned to another BucketID when FIELD1 of ZTABLEA = A.
And this assignment needs to be maintained by the Users.
Some of these Logics can be complex in the sense that they Could span over several Fields for a condition.
Please advice. Any and all suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
RK.

Following in from what Kev said.
There's dynamic SQL available (which you should put in a TRY...CATCH....ENDTRY block), so they can effectively define a WHERE condition, which would be stored in your table.
I'd suggest that you have a check when they save the new logic, that the where clause is valid.
If you need some kind of other dynamic abap look at GENERATE, READ REPORT and other associated keywords in the ABAP help.

Edit SQL for Infoprovider report

Hi,
i have a small question, since i never interfaced the BO XI 3.1 with SAP BW. Can we edit the SQL for the webi report created on the SAP Infoprovider (say for example : InfoCube - cube1).
Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,
No you can not!
When you create a webi report based on a SAP BW cube there is no SQL generated, but an MDX statement. Currently it is not even possible to view the MDX statement on the BO side. You need to put a trace on it on the SAP BW side.

Harry

The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

Hello guys
I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
Is there anything else?
Please advice
Thanks

Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.
Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data by Stephen Few (There are a couple of other books by Stephen and although I haven't read them yet, I anticipate them to be equally helpful.
This book was also helpful to me:

I also found this book helpful in Best Practices...

SQL for a report in Reports Builder

I have a long query that is for all the variables for a report I am building in Reports Builder. So far everything is correct except one column in behaving pretty strangely. For some reason the value in each row is showing up as the same as the value at the bottom of the column which is the column's total. All the values above that should equal the lower value when you add them together.
What I've got is SUM statements. I figured out what I want the statement to do that's causing the problem I just can't make it do that. I want it to give me a count of how many times one value shows up when another value is equal to a certain value. Here is one line of the code that I've tried to change but SQL keeps giving me errors.
SUM(case when contract_type = '1' and RPAD(TRIM(' ' from mod_num_ng), 6, '0') = '000000' then 1 else 0 end) TOTAL_CNT_1,
I did change it to COUNT but then it gave me a different incorrect value.
