Enhancement request: modifiable style for report highlighting

Dear Apex Developers,
I have investigated the way highlighting is done in reports. What I found is, that a span container is put around the text to be highlighted with the style attributes colr:red; font-weight:bold;.
The red characters do not fit with the template I am using right now and I would like to change this to another color. I have found a solution, which locates all the spans within a page which have those particular style settings, but this doesnot function well with PPR.
Anyway Javascript is not my favorite tool to solve these kind of problems, certainly not when the solution can be very simple.
I would propose to use a class in Apex to highlight the matches with the search item. That way the class can be redefined using regular CSS mechanisms and no Javascript is needed.
How about it? An enhancement for Apex 4.0? I would like so!
greetings,
Dirk Dral

Customize Styles for Report Wizard in Visual Studio 2013

I'd like to customize the styles defined for the Reporting Wizard in Visual Studio 2013.
There was a writeup for doing so that pointed to editing the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Business Intelligence Wizards\Reports\Styles\en\StyleTemplates.xml
However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Could someone point me to where the style definition is?
Thanks in advance.
Doug.

Hi Doug,
>>However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Just to make this issue clearly, whether this issue is related to the SSRS?

Set style for reports

Hello
i need to find a way to give a format to objects inside my reports, in a way similar to css.
Actually i export my reports in the code behind of my page, i wish to set the report sytle (font size and type, color, backgroung and so on). I've tried to use the setcssclass method in the code behind of the page that export the pdf without success :
the page:
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title></title>
<style type="text/css" runat="server" id="stile">
    h1
    background-color:Aqua;
    border-color:Black;
    color:Black;
    font-family:Arial;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-style:italic;
</style>
</head>
the code behind
report.SetCssClass(ObjectScope.PageHeaderSections,"h1")
Dim oStream As System.IO.MemoryStream
oStream = DirectCast(report.ExportToStream( _
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat), System.IO.MemoryStream)
Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.BinaryWrite(oStream.ToArray())
I wish to remark i don't use crystalreportviewer and the above code print the file directly inside the browser.
the questions are:
1. does the above code should work and i'm doing something wrong or that approach is completly wrong and will never work? If it's a correct approach, why the stye doesn't get applied?
2. if that's not the rigth way to do this thing what tool should i use? formatting formulas? do them allow me to format large pieces of report at the same time like css do in html ? Can you provide me links to examples or tutorial.
i'd like to avoid to set font size,type , line thickness or colors for each item in the report, so any hint will be greatly appreciated
thank you in advance
Stefano

Hello, Stefano;
The code you are using is only formatting the HTML page and not affecting the report object.
To do that you would need to use the Crystal Reports SDK and that would include formatting options.
You are correct, you can use formatting formula for objects. You will want to test your results in the designer first. It will have to work the way you expect there.
You may be able to do create some generic formula that will work on larger groups.
e.g. @Format_Color
You could use this formula for lines and fonts that you needed the same color and at runtime pass in the color needed:
Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("Format_Color").Text = crBlue
Then use this formula when formatting all the fields you where you want blue options for Font or Underlines as an example.
Another option is to actually add formatting at runtime using the Report Creation API properties of the Report Application Server SDK (RAS).
You can look for more ideas in the [Developer's Library|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]. Look at "[New APIs for enhanced report customization|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/RAS_SDK/rassdk_net_doc/doc/rassdk_net_doc/html/Whats_New_RAS2.html#1022964]".
Once the changes are made in the report object it should export to .pdf as you expect.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE UPDATED SOFTWARE & HARDWARE ISSUES LIST:
Software issues:
1. Missing fax
2. Missing keyboard shortcuts (most of them)
3. No scheduled SMS
4. Only basic computer
5. Browser cannot "Open a link in a new window"
6. Browser has no "Save picture as" function. Images can be saved only working through several menus.
7. Messaging cannot open several messages in the same time
8. E-mail does not display "To:", "Date:" and sender E-mail address (they can be found only in Message details)
9. SMS does not show "Date:" and "Time" (they can be found only in Message details)
10. Phone does not show the number of the caller, nor the number of the person I'm calling (only the name)
11. No advanced search function for Contacts (search is available only for names, but not for company name, function, address, phone number, etc)
12. No options on "Back-up to memory card" function (cannot choose what to back-up)
13. Calendar does not show the "Number of years" for anniversaries
14. Strange multitasking (opening a document from File Manager will block File Manager until the document is closed, Messaging is unable to open more than one message at a time)
15. Mail / calendar software does not support .ics attachments
16. Problems with roaming in Russia
17. Tab key adds 5 spaces instead of moving the cursor to the next field
18. No buffer for the keys pressed in advance
19. Voice recorder can only record 60 seconds (instead of 60 minutes on 9300i)
20. Internet browser does not allow selecting text in the web page (and further copy it to be used somewhere else) If you want to use a contact phone number form a web page, you have to write it down.
21. The auto-caps might be good for typing on the numeric keypad, but completely inadequate for the QWERTY keyboard. There is not way to turn it off.
22. Pressing a letter on 9300i would move the cursor to the first mailbox / folder / file etc. beginning with that letter (in Messaging or File Manager) This feature is not available on E90. The only choice left is to use the arrows until the desired mailbox / folder / file is reached. This could be a sub-chapter on the "missing shortcuts" issue.
23. "Notes" are not synchronized with Outlook.
24. No "undo" function (Ctrl+Z) - maybe part of the "missing shortcuts" chapter, even though the whole system of tracking changes seems to be missing.
25. When a call is initiated (and this might take several seconds, especially when the network is not answering), the phone is unable to perform any other tasks. It is "locked" and not responding to any button. Once the other phone begins to ring, the phone "unlocks".
26. When the phone is locked (with security code), it does not show if there are any missing calls (icons). You have to unlock the phone from time to time to see if you have missed any calls.
27. When a call is made and the caller rejects the call (number busy) you get a call disconnected message, hear the busy tone and the phone gets stuck in this mode for between 30~45 seconds. Can't do anything while this is happening.
28. When an application (Messaging, Web) is asking for the access point for connecting to Internet, the phone is unable to perform any other task. You either select an access point from the list or hit Cancel, otherwise you are stuck there.
29. Pictures received as E-mail attachments can only be saved to Gallery (either phone or memory cad), but not to a desired folder. If you want to put the pictures in some other folder, you have to use File Manager afterwards and move them from Gallery to the desired folder.
30. Messaging cannot display HTML messages, only the text in them. If you want to see an E-mail the way the sender wanted you to, you have to open the Attachment.html in web browser.
31. When you make a VoIP call, and then disconnect, the phone or the software does not realize the call is terminated and you remain connected to the VoIP server
32. No cut and paste of txt in SMS function unless its in forwarding mode.
33. phone practically freezes (wont do anything) when its in the process of sending or receiving a SMS. i.e. cant go to contacts while phone is sending SMS to many front UI also sluggish when phone os precessing something. even if its in the same function. i.e. composing new SMS while phone is sending to many.
34. Problems with SMS. Not easy to get details DATE/TIME, ...
35. When receiving SMS with date or any number in it, it highlight these string, text becoming simply unreadable.
36. Font Size Management.
37). Improve the speaker phone quality when the cover is open.
38). Support for Animated Themes like in Sony Ericsson phones.
39). Activate Camera via camera button
40). Able to selective turn on / off vibration for different alerts (eg on for voice call but off for emails)
41). Option of no camera sound (at least for Asia Pacific countries)
42). Charging via USB (or is this a hardware limitation)
43). Auto pull details from contact when name is keyed at the TO field of a new message (instead of having to click option > contact > ... )
44). Option of auto unlock keypad when plugged into USB. Since we will be choosing PC Sync or Data Transfer.
45). Journal hsitory limited to 30 days max
46). "Alarm" daily and "remind" use the same melody ! Not possible to assign one specific for "Alarm" and another for "reminders"
47). Not easy to unlock the phone with oe hand. Keys to unlock are not easy to find and time between pres is too short
48). Not easy to open the E90. There is no grip to make opening more easy.
49). Remind and/or alarm repeat every 5 minutes during 30 min max. This is NOT parametrable.
50). Looking for music, or photos takes a looong time before displaying the file list.
New
51). Bar code reader able to read stupid standard barcode (like magazine, book IDSN, ...
Hardware issues:
1. Stiff keyboard.
2. Keyboard is touching the screen, scratching and getting it dirty.
3. Extremely slow GPS.
4. Camera button hard to operate.
5. Pictures taken have a blue tint, especially in low light.
6. Fax modem
Request ANYONE who knows the E90 firmware development team to kindly address this list at the earliest please!

Enhancement Request - KickStart files for Oracle Validated Configurations

Just a thought, but I would like to request that the "Oracle Validate Configurations" also include an example kickstart file that contains the necessary RPMs above the default. In addition, in the %post section, all of the OS modifications (e.g. sysctl parameters, user accounts, ulimits, pam.d mods) that need to be completed for an Oracle installation could also be provided.
I have found some on the web and from suppliers such that I have created a kickstart file that is working for me and my hardware, but my mind would be at ease if there were more "sanctioned" versions out there.
FYI -- Reading through the documentation, it appears that OEM module for Oracle Linux provides the mechanism to create a kickstart file in the bare metal provisioning features.

A good start has already been done on OTN

Enhancement request: Bulk edit features

As much as I love Apex and think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread (what's so great about sliced bread anyway!), after one gains a certain amount of proficiency with using the tool, one realizes that there are many areas where the Builder application simply gets in your way. You know exactly what you want to do, you know how to do it, but the Apex Builder doesn't support a "do this 20 times" feature!
For instance
1. Deleting multiple pages - This came up on another thread recently. The Builder makes you click 2 buttons (Delete and Confirm) to delete a page and then takes you to page 0 (or the previous page or something) and then you need to go back to the next page and repeat the process.
There should be a "delete multiple pages" feature in the Builder
2. Creating a list - I have a bunch of links/URLs that I would like to create a list from. The Builder interface (tabular form) has us add each list entry at a time.
I would prefer that it has a honking big textarea where I could dump all the links at once and it creates all the list entries at once. I could always go and tweak individual entries if I like.
Same thing for adding to other Shared components like LOVs, breadcrumbs, tabs, etc. I am not saying a textarea-based interface would work for everything, but anything has to be better than doing it one by one.
3. Access to the Report Column Attributes page - This is too painful to access.
Click on Edit page, click on Report, click on the column you want. 3 clicks!
Instead, there should be a Quick Edit link next to each report column when the page is run that pops up the same page.
4. Attaching a authorization scheme (or condition or build option or any applicable thing really) to a bunch of components at once.
The Builder should have a nifty search page where we could search/filter (by name, component type, page#, etc) for the components we want and then allow us to apply a an "action" (i.e. auth. scheme) to all the selected components at once. Doing this one by one is error-prone, time-consuming and just plain boring!
That's all that comes to mind at this time, I am sure others will have more.
Thanks

Mike: Thanks for responding.
1. You misunderstand what I wrote about report columns. Marc Sewtz understood what I meant at Re: Enhancement request: Quick edit links for column attributes
is very easy to bulk change (on the back end); the hard part is devising the proper screens for bulk change (font end)
2. Absolutely, agree 100%. Which is why it might make sense for Oracle to expose metadata manipulation APIs (apex_metadata package similar to dbms_metadata!) so that power users can effect changes to the application metadata without going through the Builder at all!
We talked about this at Bulk edit items
Many of the application reports allow for bulk change operations
Right, but realistically speaking, you can never anticipate and build screens for all the things we would like to do. Which is why a command-line API would be invaluable.
Just recently, I needed to change a bunch of HTML regions' templates in a application from Report Region to Hide/Show template. I couldn't find an application report/bulk edit page that let me do this, it was quite painful to do in the Builder.
Another case in point: I used the "Form on SQL Query" wizard to quickly create a form page with a bunch of fields. But unfortunately, unlike the "Form on Table wizard", this wizard is not smart enough to create page items with a display-as depending on the datatype of the columns in the query. It creates all the form items as Text Fields. :-( There is no bulk-edit page (that I could find) that lets me change the display-as property for multiple items.
If you or others have UI sugestions
3. As you may know, whenever I think of something that the Apex product could benefit from (an enhancement request IMHO), I post a thread on the forum with a subject line that clearly indicates as such.
To summarize, here they are:
Re: Enhancement request: Validation attached to process
Enhancement request: Buttons in report regions
Re: Enhancement request: Branch report
Re: Enhancement request (for Help text)
Re: Report with Tabs - Enhancement Request?
Enhancement request - Frequently used manifests
Enhancement Request: Create linked buttons
Enhancement request: Bulk copy of items
Enhancement request: Named anchors for items
Re: Enhancement Request - Named Branches
Enhancement request: Assign build option to a page group
Enhancement request: Checkbox item - Default all checked
Enhancement request: Include application-level events
Re: Command line API
Is that enough? :-)

Mail enhancement request

I have submitted this before but there has been no response so ....
I would like to have "last" and "next" (forward/back arrows) in the mailbox sidebar to allow me to pop back to the mailbox I was viewing before I took a detour to look for something in a specific folder.
For those of us who have Mail windows open to more than one mail server, this would be a real convenience.
I often find I have "returned" to the wrong account and now have 2 windows open to the same IMAP server ...

Alternatively, if you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug (ER) ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Enhancement Requests for AWM10g

Hi, before I start in on the enhancement requests I want to say that I am pretty impressed with AWM10g. Definitely a huge step forward in creating AWs. Having said that, I think there are a few enhancements that could be done to the tool to make it even more user friendl.
Note that these are in no particular order, just ones I came up with while using the tool. I'll add any others that I come across.
Please don't take this as nit-picking - just trying to help make it better.
Thanks!
Scott
1. On dimension hierarchy types, instead of "value based" call it a "parent / child based" (thats what everyone knows it as)
2. When creating levels, allow more than one level to be created at a time (currently it closes the dialog after each level is created, forcing you to go back and choose "create levels" over and over again). This may be as simple as having a "Save and create another" button or something.
3. When typing names in the "system name" boxes, it would be nice if we could simply type the descriptions using spaces, and have the system name automatically replace with an underscore. Right now its a bit tedious to remember to type all names using underscores.
4. In "mapping" view, move HELP, APPLY, and REVERT buttons off of bottom status bar and up to the top toolbar. There is lots of unused space at the top, creating a second bar at bottom just eats up screen real estate
5. On "create dimension" dialog, no need for an entirely separate tab for "implmentation details" (that only has two values - generate unique keys or use the existing keys). Put this on the front tab so users don't have to keep selecting over to it (unless of course there are additional values that can show up there?)
6. Mapping dimensions with multiple hierarchy - seems odd that we have to remap shared levels. Is it possible to make this where you would map all the values in the first hierarchy, and then only map the "missing" levels in the second hierarchy? Seems like an opportunity for hosing things up
7. Drag and drop ordering when setting up the dimensions in a cube would be nice. Interface is the same as prior version of AWM (pretty clunky)
8. Bug - when typing in any "name" field, if you highlight the entire field and delete all characters, under the "description" fields only a single character gets deleted.
9. When there are multiple hierarchies for a given dimension, some sort of visual indicator of which one is set as default (without having to drill into details of each one)
10. Its difficult (impossible?) to resize panes (for instance, when doing the mapping). Seems like sometimes I click on something by accident (other than the < and > arrows) that resizes the panes, and then I can't figure out how to get them back (other than exiting and restarting)
11. When writing template out to same name as one that exists, AWM2 is not giving a "do you want to overwrite" prompt
12. Some sort of clear visual indicator or message when a dimension is not completely "mapped". I had a dimension where I mistakenly forgot to map the leaf level dimension member. I didn't find out about it until I ran a load and the load blew up.
13. On the XML logging at the end of a load process, the dialog box isn't big enough to show entire error messages if they occur. Since I haven't found a way to actually write the output to a txt file, this makes it hard to debug what is wrong with a solve.

Anthony - thanks! In the meantime, I've come up with a few more requests / suggestions (and will probably have a few more yet to come...)
Thanks again!
Scott
1) Rather than just showing the "working" bar while a load / solve is going on, would it be possible to replace this with some sort of functionality that queries against the OLAPSYS.xml_load_log table? And perhaps allow the user to click "refresh" or have it auto-refresh at a certain number of minutes so that users can actually see the progress being made?
2) Since CATALOG view is no longer available, remove the options to have AWM write the log files

Request in cube is not avilable for reporting, how to trace this in chain?

Hello,
We have cube that gets the delta daily.
Some day, some body did full load and its failed.
Regular process chain delta load were sucessfull but they never turned reportable since the previous full load was failed.
Since we have not received any failure notification.
Is there way we can find if the request is not reportable to get notification>?
I have checked the avilable process types, it looks like we need to build custom process type.
Please advice.
Cheers
Angelo

Hi Angelo,
If the full update is run via a process chain then you can configure for that chain that if the load fails you get an email notification,
in the setup of the email notificaton you could make a reference to the target cube and then at least you know that if you don't fix this issue subsequent requests will not be available for reporting in the cube.

Simultaneous data activation in cube - request for reporting available

Hi,
I'm on BW 3.5.
I am loading several million records to a cube, processing is to PSA first and subsequently to data target.
I have broken the load up into 4 separate loads to prevent caches from filling up and causing huge performance issues.
When I load all the data in a single load, it takes 10 hours to load. When I break it up into 4 loads it takes 3 hours.
My problem is that during the loading from PSA to data target, the first data load becomes green and ready for reporting before the last one has finished loading, and so the users get inaccurate report results if they happen to run a report before the last request activates.
Is it possible to get all 4 requests to activate simultaneously?
I have tried adding an aggregate to the cube, no good.
I have tried loading the 4 loads to the PSA in sequential order in the process chain, and then loading from PSA to data target simultaneously (side by side), no good.
Does anyone have a solution?
Many thanks,
Paul White
