Email links in an interactive report

Hi
Is it possible to have email links in an interactive report?
i.e display something like "[email protected]" as a clickable link that invokes the default external email program with the "To:" field populated?
Thanks!

Another nifty way to do it, while saving precious screen space would be:
'<a href="mailto:' || email || "><img src="/i/pkt_mailto.gif" title="' || email || '"></a>' "E-mail"
email being the name of the column that contains the E-mail address. It will display like a small envelope with an e-mail displayed as you hover over it.

Using a variable db link for an interactive report

I have a requirement where users will select an instance (db link) from an apex LOV and the data in an interactive report will query based on the db link selected.
I can use a db link in an interactive report query but only if I provide the exact name of the link. If I do something link select * from foo@:P12_DBLINK it doesn't work.
It seems my only option is to use something like apex_collection.create_collection_from_query and then I can build my query with dynamic sql and use a variable for the dblink name. Then I just create an IRR based on my collection.
Does that sound like that correct approach and/or am I missing anything?
Any suggestions are most appreciated,
john

I guess I have it working ok. I am able to create a region of type 'PL/SQL Dynamic Content' and do something like this and it works. As I change the dblink select list the report refreshes with data from that instance. Pretty cool! I just can't believe it's this much work to do this. This is just one column of data and I have about 10 columns that I need to display:
declare
type array_t is varray(100) of number;
array array_t;
l_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
l_sql := 'SELECT credit_card_trxn_id FROM EXM_CREDIT_CARD_TRXNS@'||:P4_DBLINK;
execute immediate l_sql BULK COLLECT INTO array;
for i IN 1..array.count
LOOP
HTP.p (array(i));
HTP.br;
END LOOP;
end;

How to open a link in an interactive report?

Hi all,
we have an interactive report which displays in one column an url.
If the url is formatted like this 'http://www.test.com', the link can be opened within the interactive report, when it is formatted like 'www.test.com', without the 'http', it can't be openend.
Is there any possibility that links with 'www.test.com' can be opened as well from the interactive report or do we have to mass update this column on database side?
Thank you very much!
BR

Hi,
You can modifiy the query of to incorporate http:// to the url name
select a , b , c , decode(substr( url_filed ,1 , 4), 'http', url_filed, 'http://' || url_filed) from table name

Access download link in an Interactive Report

I've built an interactive report and one of the columns, File, is a download link. I assume the I can create a trigger to log when/who clicks on that link, because I have a trigger that runs when they first upload a file to the table that automatically grabs the SYSDATE and APP_USER. However, I don't know how to reference the download link. With the upload it is simply a button click, but the link is within the report and I can't seem to figure out how to interact with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I think you can not use database trigger when someone select from table.
I would create e.g. application process that handle loging and then "download" file.
This might help you create code

Can I link from Interactive report Page 1 to Master Detail page 2?

Hi folks-
I know how to create a Page as an Interactive Report; it creates 2 pages automatically (primary page with the great interactive bar) and a 2nd page that's a single record.
I know how to create a Page as Master Detail, whereby I get a tabular list without the super interactive bar, and I can select a record, and get transported to a nice page with 2 regions (master on top, detail on bottom).
I want to have the First page from the Interactive Report, select the record, and go to the 2nd page of a MasterDetail.
Do I create the Interactive Report, and customize the 2nd page, to add a region?
Or, do I create both page types, and redirect from the 1st page of the Interactive Report to the DML Form from the MD report? I tried that, re-assigning the link from the Interactive Report to be a Link to Custom Target, and specify the page # of the Master-Detail page. And it is taking me to the right page, but the data from the selected row is not coming with me, and the detail in the bottom region is not appearing at all.
Can someone please give me a nudge as to the sequence I should be doing?
(As you can tell, I'm new to Apex.... I'm trying to use it to create a prototype or proof-of-concept for a database driven web application)
Thank you
Marion

Yes, I tried that after I wrote to you - and it's fine, but not what I'm after; it's only based on 1 table and I'm working with 2 tables.
Perhaps I can explain in better.
I want one page as an interactive tabular report (of the master records)
I want to select a row, and transfer to a page that has the corresponding row on top (as a form), and a tabular region below of records from a related detail table.
ie, I want page 1 from the Interactive Report, and page 2 of the Master Detail report.
OK - I just took the form page, and added a region below in a tabular report. And I'm getting the data, but I'm getting all the records (not just the ones associated with the single record on top. I figure I need to edit the Region Definition->Source (to specify that the id numbers need to match), but the code is not editable.....
So I am in Structured Query Attributes, and I've Modified the Join Conditions - but I still get all the detail records in the bottom region. I''m trying to add in the ( + ) qualifier, but it doesn't affect anything...
I'm soo close to what i'm trying to do!
Thank you for your continued patience and assistance
Marion
here's the Source I have for the region..... (I'm including the excess ID columns just for learning purposes)
SELECT
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONE_ENTITY_ID" "PHONE_ENTITY_ID",
"ENTITIES"."ENTITY_ID" "ENTITY_ID",
"ENTITIES"."FIRSTNAME" "FIRSTNAME",
"ENTITIES"."LASTNAME" "LASTNAME",
"ENTITIES"."COMPANY" "COMPANY",
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONE_ID" "PHONE_ID",
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONETYPE" "PHONETYPE",

How to create a link to a unix document in interactive report??

on the same UNIX server where APEX 4.2 is installed I have a directory with pdf documents - /d01/apex/docs/mydoc.pdf for example.
How can I create a link in APEX interactive report to point to the document and allow users to view or download on their PC's?
Thanks.

Hello,
In your report source, you should use something similar to:
Select empno , ....., '<a href= "#IMAGE_PREFIX# ........" >' Download from server '</a>' as "Download" from empWhere #IMAGE_PREFIX# stands for Static resources "i" in your web server. it should be in your case (for Windows):
C:\apex\imagesYou may need to use CASE Clause for multiple Docs
Please see this example:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=63066

user: test
pwd: test

Interactive Report will not save BLOB Column Attributes

I have created many interactive reports with 4.0 and 4.1 that had BLOB columns with no problems and the download link worked fine. After upgrading to 4.2, the interactive reports get the following error when clicking on the download link:
Not found
The requested URL /apex/apex_util.get_blob was not found on this server
If I open the edit page from the report, the BLOB downloads fine. When I looked at the report attributes details for the BLOB column, I noticed the BLOB Column Attributes had not been populated. I have tried repeatedly to populate them (Table Name, Column Name, Primary Key, MIMETYPE, etc.) but after applying the changes and reopening the attributes page for the blob column, the values I entered are not saved.
For completeness, here is the select statement for the report:
select "DESC_ATT_ID",
"BR_ID",
"FILENAME",
"MIMETYPE",
dbms_lob.getlength("DESC_ATTACHMENT") "DESC_ATTACHMENT"
from "#OWNER#"."ALTEC_BR_DESC_ATT"
WHERE BR_ID = :P3_BR_ID
Also, here is the value for the Number/Date format for the BLOB Column:
DOWNLOAD:ALTEC_BR_DESC_ATT:DESC_ATTACHMENT:DESC_ATT_ID
Can someone please point me in the right direction to get the link for the interactive report working properly?
Many thanks,
Jerry

Hello,
How about you do not use BLOB format Column, you do it manually as this example here:
apex.oracle.com
workspace: somefeto
user: test
pwd: test
Application 63066
in the same workspace, there is Sample File Upload and Download (App ID 10540), and it is working fine ....
Otherwise, Pls, reproduce the problem on apex.oracle.com

Fateh

Another Interactive Report Question

Hi guys!
Is it possible to create link which filters Interactive Report? I would like to create a report on one page which contains all the user saved interactive reports and then if another users clicks one, page changes to a page with an interactive report and the saved report opens?
With regards,
PsmakR

I'm referring to this help text in Advanced attributes - "If saved versions of the report exist, this specifies if they should be displayed as tabs. Turn tabs off if you want to create a separate page with a list of reports.". This is my goal - separate page with reports with on click page redicrection to saved report.
Im looking through help file and found this:
Report ID Item
This attribute enables you to send a user directly to a saved view of the report that they have saved. You specify an item whose value stores the report ID of the saved view. Report ID's can be retrieved from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view.
Has anyone played with this? Is it working?
Please help...
With regards,
PsmakR

How to send a conditional email with interactive report subscription

Hi,
i have an interactive report with subscription.
I would like to send an email with the attachment only when the query returns one or more records.
How to to this?
Apex 4.0.2
Thanks in advance
lukx

Well, to understand your requirements can I ask this:
You said earlier you want a report sent whenever records that meet a criteria exist, correct? So you want the application to query for a condition, and when that condition occurs (a row with primary Key = X, a select COUNT(1) for rows with column X returns a result of 1 or more)
Then you would schedule a batch job:
BEGIN
-- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'Send_Email_Procedure',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'BEGIN Test_For_COND_SEND(); END;',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
end_date => NULL,
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
This would in theory run hourly and run your test_for_cond_Send process, in which you would test for the condition and send an e-mail if it was found that would contain the results from your query/report.

Using Interactive Report with SQL query accessing tables via db link

Is there a known issue with using the interactive report in version 3.1.2.00.02 with SQL that is accessing tables via a database link? I get the error 'not all variables bound', I do not get this error when using the standard report for the same SQL?

Download Link in Interactive Report isn't Showing

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I have an interactive report which allows users to download the report (under the Actions menu).
The download formats that were used previously were HTML, Email and PDF, and it worked perfectly fine. However, I want to remove PDF as one of the options so I unchecked it... but now the Download link won't appear at all.
Does anyone know how to get the Download link to appear again? Thanks in advance!

If I turn on everything except PDF it works.
Also PDF off and CSV off, still works.
PDF off, CSV off, RTF off it works.
Only HTML and EMAIL on, it breaks.
HTML on, EMAIL on, RTF on it works.
Sounds like there is a bug here and it's a matter (for now) of finding the most acceptable combination to you and your business needs.

Interactive Reports - Question about Downloading PDF, CSV, Email, etc

I recently installed the latest version of APEX. I deployed it as an EAR on Oracle WebLogic. I then created a simple
interactive report that has the search bar above the report. The downloads (emailing, pdf, etc) do not work after I
run the report.
What setup\configuration is required to get the emailing and downloading of the other files to work?
fyi: right now I have Oracle WebLogic, Oracle 10g, and APEX running locally on a XP based laptop.
Thank you in advance,
Wes

Hello Wes,
Sending a report as an email requires an SMTP server. You need to configure your instance settings to point to the SMTP server.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/admin.40/e15521/adm_mg_service_set.htm#BEJBCEEH
To download a report as a pdf, excel or RTF... you need to have a reporting engine installed. Check this link for details...
