Empty Report Layout in Dashboard instead of NO RESULTS

Hi I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.5
I have created some reports
When I give some filter conditions I expect it to display No results
But What I am getting is an Empty Report Layout with the Column Headings and Grand Total without any values in the cell
Have anybody experienced it
What is the reason for it and How to Overcome this
Thanks in Advance
Abdul

HI ,
Try this way,
How to do this--
Please create No Result report and apply using( Guided Navigation) to main report
1. Drag the no result report in your dashboard.
2. Click this report Guided Navigation Properties --> Reference Source Request -- YES then ----select this report path into -- Source Request- then Show section--- select this option (If request returns Noting).
3. The out put like if there is no date you will get NO Result report.
Please do work around here.
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,

Reports Layout- storing custom report layouts that aren't FOP/RTF

I am actually setting up a similar environment to the supported FOP processor, but with a JasperReports custom j2ee web application (WAR).
I am having some degree of success. Instead of relying on passing user/pass for a JDBC connection, I have reports mapped by XML elements. The reports just pick up off of the document already being sent with the xPath record root at /DOCUMENT/REGION/ROWSET/ROW.
I have planned on saving the jrxml reports as Report Layouts into APEX, so that the templates are also saved directly with the application and sent with the request, making the server side more of a dumb processor.
I have had some success in this setup except for what looks like one issue.
It appears that the jrxml remains intact on the upload, verified by viewing the CLOB contents of WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS.PAGE_TEMPLATE.
I was going to say that it appeared that the "+" characters were being stripped, but after starting up my packet sniffer, it appears that is is actually because the fields (xml, template, etc) are not url_encoded prior to transmission. They are getting to the OC4J server, but not read correctly by the default HttpServletRequest.
I realize that should this remain consistant, I can call the .Reader of the request object and actually pick up the POST parameters manually.
Question:
Is there anyway that this could be corrected in a future release, patch, or is there a way I can modify this behavior?
Am I the only one who has seen this or does anyone suspect I have done something wrong in my setup?

I guess I have further confirmed this, by manually setting the particular character, "+" to its URL encoded equivalent "%2B" in the table WWW_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS. After this, on receipt of the object at the Java receiver, it is formatted correctly. Furthermore, the getReader or getInputStream of the HttpServletRequest doesn't help because at this point it is empty.
I figure if all else fails, I can put a dreaded trigger on to the WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS, or an after the fact process to URL encode the contents. Heck, I am already unsupported as far as the printing goes, amirite

Help building report layout

Hello,
I have to alter a report layout on Reporting Services 2008 and after 2 and a half days trying I simply give up!
It's impossible to make this layout in RS2008. It simply does not accept what I need to do. See layout bellow:
Consumption Location X
MU A | PartNo x | Part Description | Qty
| PartNo y | Part Description | Qty
MU B | PartNo q | Part Description | Qty
MU C | PartNo n | Part Description | Qty
| PartNo z | Part Description | Qty
| PartNo s | Part Description | Qty
--------------------Skip line-----------------
Consumption Location Z
MU G | PartNo t | Part Description | Qty
--------------------Skip line-----------------
This "Consumption Location" must be over the pieces of information and they are data from my query, so are the other columns. The 4 other columns must be grouped, so they can look as the first image, otherwise won't have the layout needed.
Now I ask you: How can I do such thing?!
I appreciate the help, and I'm sorry that I sounded mad. I'm really pissed off 'cause of this.
Tks!

I believe I have reproduced the layout you are looking for.
I created a static dataset using sample data similar to what you have:
I then added a table and the dataset to the above sample dataset. I added a parent group to the detail group (MU) and a parent group to MU (Consumption Location). These each added a group column. I deleted both of the new group columns without deleting the
groups. I deleted the existing header row then added a Total row to the MU group > Before. I right-clicked the new total row and Inserted a row > Inside Group - Above. I added a 4th detail cell by right-clicking the middle column and choosing Insert
Column (either left or right). Now I merged the 4 cells of the top total row together and did the same for the bottom total row.
I populated the data as follows... bottom total row I added [Consumption Location]. In the 4 data cells from left to right... [MU], [PartNo], [Description], [Qty]. Last step is to edit the expression in the first detail cel. Instead of just displaying [MU]
you want that for only the first record of the group so use the following expression instead: =IIf(Previous(Fields!MU.Value) = Fields!MU.Value, "", Fields!MU.Value)
Add a little formatting to make it pretty and...
The empty total row at the top I set the top, left and right border style to None. This gives you the empty line.

Report print attributes - custom report layout

Hi there,
I've looked for this information in the web and in this forum without luck so far...
We have here BI Publisher and I use the "Enable Report Printing" option in a traditional report in Apex 4.0.2. That works great.
But instead of using the "Default Report Layout", I want to use a custom one based on a RTF file. However I have no idea what the data XML looks like in order to build a custom layout.
To be clear: if you go to Shared Components > Report Queries, you have a Download XML Data option so you can build your report layout based on the XML structure. For instance, you can use <?for-each:ROWSET1_ROW?>, <?COLUMN_NAME?> etc
Any ideas about what that XML structure is for a traditional report?
Thanks
Luis

Found it: change temporarily the output format to XML and download the report. The XML structure is all there. Very helpful to know that all page items are included in the XML as well. It would be good to have this functionality detailed somewhere in the Apex documentation.
What I still need to know is how to access the substitution strings below in my RTF (NOT XSL-FO) template:
Select Default Report Layout to use the built-in generic report layout.
To use a custom generic report layout, select it from the list.
You can use the following substitution strings when building custom XSL-FO report layouts:
#PAGE_HEADER#
#PAGE_HEADERFONT_COLOR#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
...Any ideas?

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

Empty report with pagination, rows not displayed

Dear HTML DB Team,
We have in our reports the next error: An empty report with pagination appears , no rows not displayed
The test case to reproduce the error:
1. Create "SQL report" with next report attributes in "Layout and Pagination"
a. Row ranges 1-15 16-30 in select list (with pagination)
b. Number of Rows : 15
c. Number of Rows (Item): empty
d. Max Row Count: empty
2. Fill the table on which the report is based with 17 rows
3. Go to the 2nd page of the report , pagination rows 16-17 of 17
4. Remove 2 rows from the table, refresh report
5, The pagination shows now 1 - 15 of 15 rows
- no rows displayed
- no "previous button" ( only )
- no way to get the rows displayed, except logging out and in again
Any suggestions?
Erik

Hello,
i encountered the same problem while developing in HTMLDB.
In application builder, i select application Application 106, then click on items, then click next ( the application has 22 global items). Now i want to take a look at the global items in application 105 (there are only 5). In the menu i click Builder - Application 106, select application 105 from Available Applications, click Go and Items. It shows no rows, but says that is displaying rows 1-5, and offers a Next button. No way to see/modify the items unless make a new session or go back to Application 106, Click Previous to see the first page of global items and then again switch to Appication 105 or click to the next button and then manually set pg_min_row=1 in URL.
One more question - is this forum the right place to report bug suspicions, or is there some other special place for that?
Best regards,
Andres

GET_BLOCK Error Importing or Copying an Application - Report Layout Issue

Hello mwallace,
The behavior you are seeing is probably due to one of the VIs being added as a support file instead of a dynamic VI. When adding a file as a dynamic VI, Application builder will ensure that all subVIs are included.

Report Layout Editor

I have used this successfully in the past but have a new challenge.
In the past I have been able to produce clean and tidy reports for a single table. Now I want to do the same for a query joining two tables (order and transaction) on a single order id.
An order has several transactions. I don't want to repeat the static order details on every row, just the changing transaction details.
I have been able to list only the transaction details in the body section quite easily. I've also been able to list the labels for the order details in the head section. But when I try to list the field data using the .FIELD suffix instead of the .LABEL suffix it is not changed to data.
I take it that the head section is designed to deal only with .LABELS while the body section deals only with .FIELDS.
Can anyone suggest an alternative for doing this? Would a dynamic page be better? And if so how do I do it? Bear in mind that I need to pass a variable containing the order id from another report.

Sharmila-
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to reference a value from the report rather than the parameter itself. I'll try to explain. I have a report which displays information for an employee. For a custom report, in the report layout editor there are three different sections, headings, body and footer. In these sections you place the HTML to customize your layout. In the body you can reference placeholders like #EMPLOYEE_ID.LABEL# for the column heading or #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# for the value retrieved from the database. In the footer section of the report layout editor I want to create a link to another report using employee_id as the parameter in the link to the next report, however, within the link I am not able to get it to recognize the value from the placeholder. When I click on the link the URL shows the placeholder #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# rather than the value like 1001.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Mark

Firing off a report from a dashboard.

Hello everyone- my first post! I hope you guys can help me...
As far as I know, you cannot export a table into an excel spreadsheet when that table is in a dashboard.
So I created a link in the dashboard soi that when you click on the account name it fires off a report that looks the same as the one in the dashboard.
I thought this would create a report that would allow the table to be exported but instead, the report appeared in the dashboard and there is no option to export to excel.
So does anyone know either...
Is there a way to download tables in dashboards to an excel spreadsheet?
OR...
Is there a way to fire off a report from a dashboard so that it can be exported to a spreadsheet?

You certainly can download data into tabular format from a Dashboard.
In the Dashboard Designer, choose the Properties button located on the embedded report that you want download-able. From the resulting menu, choose "Report Links".
This will give you the option for Refresh, Printer Friendly, and Download. You can choose to display any of these.
When enabled, the Download link works just as in Reports, offering to download the report in Excel, csv, etc.

Refreshing on a particular report in a dashboard

Hi Team,
Here I am with a question.
I have a dashboard which consists 4 reports whose values are drill through from one of the report. Say if I click year in 1st report, its quarters will be displayed in the 2nd report. Now, my issue is when click a report the entire dashboard is getting refreshed.
My Client's requirement is:
When I click Year in 1st report only the 2nd report should be displayed, Instead of the entire dashboard. Can we do this? if so, please help me out. its very urgent .
Thanks In Advance
Please mark as answer if it is helpful. Thank You

Hi Sunil,
In SSRS, drillthrough report is a report that a user opens by clicking a link within another report.
In our report design, if we add action “Go to report”, when we click the corresponding item we will jump into another report. If we have parameter in the drillthrough report, we can pass parameter values to the drillthrough report to display the specific
data.
In your case, you have mentioned above, it should display 2nd report rather than the entire dashboard. Did the 2nd report is a part of the dashboard? Could you please post the screenshot about your dashboard structure? It is benefit for us to do further
analysis.

APEX 3.0 XLS-FO Report Layout

Hallo,
another question for 3.0 :
I just created a custom xsl:fo stylesheet based on the XML data
which gave me the "Report Queries" wizard. In the XSL Editor it looks quite well
but using my regions "Print" link i get only a blank page.
Now i recognized the uploaded xslt format is now rtf when i download it.
Also it is in format "Named Columns (RTF)" but i uploaded it using "Named Columns (XSL-FO)".
Is this custom stuff without BI Publisher plugin really working already ?
Thanks,
Jochen

Hello,
I can confirm this behaviour. After uploading a XSL-FO report layout and assigning this report to a report query, I get an empty PDF after calling the query.
When I look at the request that was sent to BI Publisher (or Apache FOP), I see that
&_xtype=rtf
is always added to the request when I upload a named column template, regardless wether I uploaded a RTF or a XSL-FO template. It appears that ApEx always stores type = rtf when uploading a named column template (XSL and RTF).
Is this a known problem? Any workarounds or statements when this will be fixed?
Thanks
Stephan

Go to edit dashboard ->Next to add a page icon, you see a print option..if you change it to landscape then you can print it in landscape view..

Problem with Report Layout

Please help me.......
I had created a new form (Copy of Sales-> A/R Invoice, loaded from XML file).
The problem comes, when I tried to see (Print Preview) the Report Layout for the Corresponding A/R Invoice form.
The Layout Designer button is not showing its functionality on Clicking. Also the Print Preview button is in disabled condition. So I cant set the Report Layout and also cant see the Report (Preview) .
So is there any solution for this problem.

Hi,
For the user defined forms the PLD functionality is not avaliable, instead u can design and use Crystal reports.

Report Not Appearing Dashboard

Hi,
I have added a report to the dashboard.
Report has Title,Table and Filter View.
I have page prompts for that report.
The report is appearing properly when it meets the prompt condition.
When there is no data matching the prompt condition.It should show no results and filter view. But nothing is coming on the dashboard.*
I can able to see dashboard links but nothing else is coming.
I am not getting any error or warning.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi,
In Compound Layout we have the option ->Other Views -> No Results View click on that and Edit the No Result view and Type what you want in Text portion.
