EPM 11.1.2.2 Interactive Reporting Email Notifications

The URL we give to our users to access Workspace contains a virtual host record. The URL does not contain the actual hostname of the machine.
So rather than http://serverA/workspace/index.jsp, the URL is something like http://interactivereporting/workspace/index.jsp.
This works great, however, after setting up SSO using Kerberos, we noticed that the emails being sent for scheduled job notifications from Interactive Reporting contain the servers hostname in the URL (http://serverA...) rather than http://interactivereporting.
The kerberos configuration for SSO is using the virtual host name (HTTP/interactivereporting) for the principal, so they cannot connect to the application using the server name.
Is there any way to change the URL in the email notifications so that the virtual host name is in the URL rather than the server name?
In the EPM System Configurator there is an option to "Configure Logical Address for Web Applications". I did configure this to use the virtual host record.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

Harish, this is very valuable information here that is worth a lot of consulting dollars. :-)
On server 1, just install and configure the Framework and IR
On server 2, just install and configure the IR
On server 3, just install and configure the web component
When I did the above, I ran into the small "defect", which is the APPLICATION ID created on Web does not match the APPLICATION ID on the Framework on server 1 because it's installed separately. Oracle insisted that is not the "best practice", but the solution is to update the APPLICATION ID on server 3 in the repository to match the original APPLICATION ID, and then it works.
I forget the defect number and have to look it up. Or call Oracle Support and they know exactly what to do.
Good luck.

Enable email field on Interactive report

Hi,
I have a column that contains the contact email as well an other column that contains the website of the company both displayed on an interactive report .
Does anyone knows what I need to do to be able to:
1. Click on the email (on the report) and open the local email client to send an email
2. Click on the URL field (on the report) and open the default browser to visit that site
Thank you
YannisR

for the mail question, you would create a tag like this as a report column:
<a href="mailto:youremailaddress">Email Me</a>
or with a subject
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=DAMIFINOY">
Send Email</a> Thank you,

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.

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.

To download a report as a pdf, excel or RTF... you need to have a reporting engine installed. Check this link for details...

Interactive report define "from" in email download

I heard that the latest apex 4.2.4 has future in Interactive Report Define "from" address Subscription in Email Download
I installed apex 4.2.4 on oracle 11.1.0.7 windows(32 bit);
I'm using Apex listener 2.0 deployed to weblogic 11g;
I still don't see this option in interactive report;
can sombody help me?
Thanks

David,
The comma is the operational separator for the 'IN' clause, so you are right, the filter sees each part of the name as a parameter. Just use something else as the separator (like a space) and you will be good to go.

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.

Interactive Report Subscription emailing different dataset

Hi All,
I am having a bit of strange problem with subscriptions email on an interactive report.
I have the report to email users every morning from an interactive report. The dataset that is emailed is not the same as the report on the interactive report screen. The variance between what is emailed and what is on the report screen page is quite large and it is not an issue of the data changing between the email fist going out and the report screen being viewed.
Also, is there a way for a user to 'unsubscribe' from a report?
Any help would be great,
Thanks

APEX Version v: Application Express 4.0.0.00.46

Hello Becky,
While exporting from DEV you should set NO for following options
<li> Export Private Interactive Reports
<li> Export Interactive Report Subscriptions
Because, Private Reports and Subscriptions will be made by end-users and they will be made on Prod systems. So if you export them from DEV and import into PROD, then all private reports and subscriptions will be lost on PROD.

Hari

Error when process an Interactive Reporting Query - EPM 11

Hi everyone...
We are on EPM 11.1.2 working with Interactive Reporting
I already submitted a SR with Oracle, with this problem that I describe on the next lines:
If I open a document and then try to process the Query (Essbase/Oracle datasource). It throws the next error message…
*[2018]: "Failed to acquire Data Access Service with data sources that match the specified OCE";*
If try Again (like 1, 2, or 3 times) without close the document … then the query process responds without problem.
If I try to process the query again (without close the document)… eventually it throws me the same error.
Why sometimes makes the connection with the values configured and sometimes throws the error ?
Any clue, about the origin of this problem... or some tests to discard some kind of configuration
Note:
- The connections are already configure in DAS, and in some time it works well
- We have 2 DAS Services running on my environment (with the same values ) created at the beginning to work as a cluster.

Interactive Report - problem with export by email

Hi,
We're upgrading to Apex 4.0 and we encountered a problem with the email export in html format for the Interactive Reports. The french accents are displayed with some weird symbols in the HTML file.
When I export directly in html from my report instead of the email, the accents are fine. So the problem must be the encoding of the email which is set to UTF-8. Our database use WE8MSWIN1252 encoding for the NLS Characterset.
Without changing our NLS Characterset, is there something I can do to correct this ?
Thanks

Hi Denes,
The administrator have created a mapping table,and they send me this two lines in JMT.conf file:

The error still exists,i would like to know if these two lines generate a kind of confusion in any treatment of filtre in interactive report.

Download to email in interactive reports returns same sender as recipient

Hello everyone
I just upgraded to Apex 4 and is very happy with it, and I love the feature to download and send by email option in interactive reports, which makes life a little bit easier. However, when I send the mail, I get the same sender e-mail, as the recipient I entered.
So when the mail with report arrives it says
from: [email protected]
to: [email protected]
Instead of
from: [email protected]
to: [email protected]
This is no dealbreaker, but it can confuse the customer that requested the report and think it might be something fishy with the attachment, thinking it's something bad like a virus.
Is there any way to change this? Cannot find anything in the settings to change this.
Sincerely
Johnny

Users Email Subscriptions of Interactive Reports, getting deleted

Hi,
We have apex 4.0.2 version instances installed in DEV, Test, Prod environments.
We use the same app id across all the 3 environments
eg: App no 200 is used in all the 3 environments.
The users subscriptions for the interactive reports are getting deleted,
when the App from Dev is moved to Test or Prod environments.
Any ideas or suggestions ?
Thnx

Hi,
I could able to get back the users subscriptions in the target environment with below procedure.
In my scenariou i am moving the app 200 from Dev to Test environment.
Step1: Export the app 200 from Test environment by selecting Export interactive Report Subscriptions to Yes in Export Preferences tab
Step2: Extract carefully the wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_notify code +(you will see more than 1 statements, if there are multiple users subscriptions)+ from the app 200.sql .
Step3: Extract wwv_flow.g_flow_id and wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset initializer statements.
Example below:
In my scenariou i was testing with 1 interactive report user subscription
begin
wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,200);
wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_notify (
p_id => 3351032625694541+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
p_flow_id => wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
p_worksheet_id => 11045125897667191+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
p_report_id => 11046318922668871+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
p_owner => 'abc.def',
p_email_subject => 'Primary Report test',
p_email_address => '[email protected]',
p_start_date => '2012.09.07.01:00:00',
p_notify_interval => 'D');
end;
Step4: Import the app 200 from Development environment to Testing environment.
Step5: Execute the above Example pl/sql in the Test environment sql prompt.
Run the app in Test environment, You will see your interactive reports user subscription to the associated pages.
Note: This procedure applies only when you have app id same across all the enviornments

Emailing Interactive Reports

All,
When emailing an interactive report, I was under the impression that the resultimg email would be a functioning IR.
I just tried and the resulting email (opened with IE7.0) has a search box above the data, but nothing else.
Please advise,
Monty

Just re-ran my test case with an IR Report, you are given a search capacity and nothing else... Maybe that is in a coming version, but right now it seems we have what we have...
Maybe you could instead e-mail a link to your users of the IR page and allow them to process that way??
Thank you,

Characterset of atachment in subscription email for interactive report

Hi,
I really like the subscription option on interactive reports. However we have an issue with the attachment.
In the attachment it says : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
But that leaves me with � characters where an ë should be. If I override the character encoding setting of my browser I do get the right characters.
I suspect the characterencoding is WE8MSWIN1252 wich is my database characterset.
What setting must I change to either have the attachment be really encoded in utf8 or have an alternative charset setting in the html.
We are using Oracle 11g and Apex 4.0.1
Thanks,
Neil

Sorry for the type (see above ;) ),
There is no way to change the characterset used by APEX, at least none that would be configurable in APEX.
In both FF 3.6 and IE 7 I get proper characters when downloading the HTML, but improper encoding in the mail attached report.
When looking into the source (raw hex, so there's definetly no editor-awareness of any charset), I see proper encoding in the HTML Download, but no encoding in the HTML-attachment, which results in the improper display in the browser. However, when I let my webmailer view the attachment, everything looks fine. I assume, the problem is related to mail encoding. I wonder how my webmailer was abled to fix that, but not fix the file I downloaded...

Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
and
Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
(response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
"Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter
