Dynamic Title for Interactive Report?

I have an interactive report where I am passing in interative report filters. This is great becase it allows me to reuse a single interactive report in different ways. However, one drawback I am running into is the report title. I'd really like to be able to change the report title based on the filters that I pass in. Is this possible? Can the report title be dynamic?
Thanks,
Andrew Watson

It,s possible.
I'm using item references to alter the report title.
Set the item value to the title that you want for your report and the region name as the example.
Example: Report &P1_ITEM. &P1_ITEM1. &P1_ITEM2. and so far.

Dynamic Heading in Interactive Report

In standard reports it is possible to create dynamic headings using PL/SQL.
Does anyone know of a way of doing this for Interactive Reports?
I have a report that needs to change date headings dependant on the selected start date.
Thanks,
Jon

Item names (or built-in names like APP_ID) appearing in HTML and which begin with ampersand and end with a period are substituted with their session state values only when the names are upper case. The reason for this is to increase parsing efficiency with respect to differentiation between Application Express references and standard HTML references such as:
&_nbsp;
&_amp;
&_lt;
&_gt;
...etc., (ignore underscore in each of the above).
This ought to be documented better.

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:

How apex generate LOV values for Interactive report

Scott,
For interactive report, does APEX full table/index scan to generate the LOV drop down list every time user click the column header? If I set max row count to 100, does LOV values only derived from the first 100 rows that apex hits?
If I enter SQL query in "list of value definition", will that sql get executed every time users click the column header or the result is cached?
For standard and interactive report, does APEX parse (soft/hard) the sql statement again when user do pagination?

When you run the program, the system displays the following basic list with a the page header defined in the program:
You can trigger the AT LINE-SELECTION event by double-clicking a line. The system sets the status TEST and deactivates the function code PICK. The status TEST contains function codes FC1 to FC5. These are assigned to pushbuttons in the application toolbar. The page header of the detail list depends on the status.
Here, double-clicking a line no longer triggers an event. However, there is now an application toolbar containing five user-defined pushbuttons. You can use these to trigger the AT USER-COMMAND event. The CASE statement contains a different reaction for each pushbutton.
For each interactive event, the system decreases the SY-LSIND system field by one, thus canceling out the automatic increase. All detail lists now have the same level as the basic list and thus overwrite it. While the detail list is being created, SY-LSIND still has the value 1.

Activation of Infotype for Interactive reporting

I know that from SAP CRM 7.0 EHP 1.0 sap provides support for interactive report on Service requests. My question
- Is there any standard interactive report on service request provided by SAP CRM? I checked in ORDYWB(Interactive workbench), I did not see any report for Service report. Kindly confirm is that is the case.
Now I believe if I activate report area (Infotype) Service request in the workbench then I can create by own interactive reports for service requests. How do I activate the report area Service request- When i select and activate it - I get the message - " Info type Service request switched of"

Hi!
I hope this comes not too late, or maybe it will help others: In order to activate report area Service Requests, you have to enable business function SAP BusinessObjects Integration and CRM Interactive Reporting (CRM_ANA_BOB).
SAP does not deliver any pre-defined reports for the new report areas that are enabled by this business function. You may, however, create your own reports, just as you were able to do with the previously delivered report areas.

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regards

Hi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

Using XSL-FO for Interactive Report PDF printout

I am using XSL-FO, Apache FOP and use FO Designer to produce a PDF from SQL Based Report (not IR). This is working fine.
How can use the same concept for Interactive Report. I can not see how to make IR to use XSL-FO and Apache FOP.
It looks that IR is only working for BI Publisher. Am I right?

Interactive Reports currently only support the built-in default XSL-FO layout, i.e. there are only limited customization options available. Report Queries (see Shared Components) and Classic Reports can either use the default XSL-FO Layout, or can be associated with RTF or XSL-FO based templates. We plan to extend printing support for Interactive Reports in a future version of Oracle Application Express to provide similar features as is currently available for Report Queries and Classic Reports.

Marc

APEX Print Attributes for Interactive Reports versus Reports

The Print Attirbutes tab for Interactive Reports does not have the Enable Report Printing option that the same tab does for Reports. The Enable Reports option when set to Yes" puts a print link on the Reports page. Since, the option doesn't appear for under the Print Attributes tab for Interactive Reports, how can I get a print link appear on an Interactive Report page?

Hi,
Those links are visible to end user in action menu -> Download

CSS default for Interactive Reports

Hi,
I wanted to modify some default attributes for interactive reports. I found this : Re: Interactive Report
I tried to put this information in my modified CSS file attached to our default template, but it doesn't seem to work.
I put this in my CSS file : .apexir_REPORT_TABS span.current {background:#7b9cbd none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
margin-bottom:0;}
but the background color isn't 7b9cbd.
Is there a way to make it work in a CSS file ?
Thanks.
My fault, I had to put #apexir... instead of .apexir
Edited by: gfrancoeur on Jun 2, 2009 10:55 AM

I found the information on this.
It sounds like IR reports use a general CSS file (e.g. apex_4_1.css) and it's better to modify the page template than to modify that file...
I did that and it worked.

Dynamic action with interactive report region refresh

Hi!
I'm using APEX 4.02
I've got a page with 2 regions.
Region1 is a (input) form
Region2 is an interactive report on the same table as region 1
When entering values on the form I'm trying to dynmically lookup similar records in the table with the interactive report.
I've made a dynamic action on the change of the form fields which should refresh the interactive report region. I can see this one fires if I add a alert to debug if it fires.
The dynamic report is based on a query with bind variables pointing to the form fields, for example
where
field1 = :P2_FIELD1
This works great on the page load, so no dynamic action is fired but I can see the rows in the report region are the ones I am looking for.
But the refresh of the report region is not working, it is never refreshing and/or showing the correct data after a change of the form fields, so it looks like the dynamic action "refresh region" is not working on the interactive report.
Any ideas why this can go wrong ?
I would like to solve this using standard dynamic actions and preferrably not via PL/SQL or JS, shoudl be possible if I should believe the documentation... ;)
Cheers
Bas

Hi,
When you change value to item, I assume you do not set value to session state.
Use interactive report advanced attributes "Page Items to Submit" , set items session state before report is refreshed.

Displaying title on Interactive Report

Folks, there should be an easy solution to this, but I can't find it. I'd like to be able to display a title on my interactive reports. I'm using the "IRR Region Template," and using another one isn't an option (b/c the other ones don't properly display wide reports).
I'm guessing the IRR Region Template doesn't include the #TITLE# substitution string, but can it? Can #TITLE# be added? Or can I accomplish this simple requirement via some other fashion?
Thanks
Rob

Question: Where do you want the title to appear on the page?
I'm not familar with this IRR Region Template. Is it borderless or does it have a title "area"? If it has a title area, it ought to have a #TITLE# substitution string for that area? You say "I'm guessing ..." Can you take a look at the template and tell us what's there? Do you know how to look at the templates?
I added a simple title as a display-only page item on a report. But that's pretty limited as there is only so much display room between the page tabs and the search box. You could also concatenate an application item to the application title and set it to the report title you want when the page displays.

Dynamic Headings on Interactive Report

Hi,
I have an interactive report that I would like to use dynamic headings. I have looked at some of the posts here and have followed what I think is the correct way to do this, but I am still not seeing the headings I am expecting.
I created items to hold the headings and have created a process to populate these items, that all seems to work fine, I can view the session state and see the headings.
I added the items to the report on the Report Attributes page under "Heading". I used the substitution for the items as &P2_HEADING1.
When I look at the report all I see for the substituted heading is &P2_HEADING1. and not the value I would expect.
It seems I am missing a step? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
The process point should be ok.
The only other things I can think of are either there is an error in the code (the "Session" link on the developer's toobar will show if the value is being set) or there is a space after the page item name (difficult to see on screen but can cause problems) which makes the item name different to what you expect.

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.

Retrieving sort and filter criteria for interactive report

I have developed a test management system in APEX. Users log in and see an interactive report with their assignments. Each test they've been assigned occupies one row.
There is an "Execute" link for each row that takes the user to the test execution page, where they can see the input steps / expected results and report the test passing or failing.
I've implemented "Next >" and "< Previous" buttons on the execution page, so the user can immediately go forwards or backwards in his assigned tests without having to return to the assignments page and click the Execute link on the next or previous row.
The test execution page figures out what the next and previous assigned test is using the LAG and LEAD functions, like this:
lag(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) prev_id,
lead(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) next_id
Notice that I've "hardcoded" the over clause to be the reference number of the test.
The problem here - this solution ignores any custom sorts or filters the user has put in place on the assignments (interactive) report.
Is there a way I can "grab" the interactive report (1) sort criteria and (2) filter criteria dynamically? I'm thinking I could then use dynamic SQL to build an OVER clause used in the lag/lead calls so that the application now follows whatever sort and/or filter criteria the user has put in place.
Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!!

Thanks WTine!
I took a look and determined
- I can get the sort criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view (SORT_COLUMN_# and SORT_DIRECTION_# columns)
- I can get the filter criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND view
