Footer for a report with 2 repeating frames with down/across print directio

I have a report with a frame for title shown in first page. the content of the report is shown on two columns in a repeating frame(R2) which enclose an other repeating frame (R1). In R2, just after R1, I have a frame for totals. Both repeating frame have down/across print direction. All repeating frames and title frame are enclosed by a regular frame(let say frame A) that have vertical elasticity fixed. at the end of the report i must display an other frame(frame B) with signatures. I put frame B in frame A, just after R2. If I set vertical elasticity to fixed or contract for R2, when the title frame is missing i get an empty space in the bottom of the page(except the first page, where the title appear)(R2 is anchored to title frame). if I set vertical elasticity to variable for R2, the frame B is not shown on last page with records, but in next page. I need a solution to keep the frame B in last page of the report which have records. the problem appear only when I have records in second column.
Can somebody help me, please?

Hi,
I think without using Across/Down instead of Down/Across this is not possible. But then the output is
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
If you need to have
1 3 5 7
2 4 6 8
then you had to add some logic in an additional column for sorting the output. (sounds easy, but the logic need some work depending the count of records and their position.

Repeating Frame with mutiple lines -- Page Break

I have a report with repeating frame R11. R11 has several fiels
spread across 4 lines.
We have a case in which there is a pagebrek, while this
repeating frame R11 is printed. Fields in the first line of R11
are printed in the first page. Then when it continues to print
the repeating frame in the next page, it is not printing the
fields in the second line of the repeating frame. In other
words, the second line is completely missing in the report.
However, fields in the third and forth lines of the repating
frame R11 are printed in the second page.
Why the second line is dropped?
How do I fix this problem?

Create one summary column (lets say cs_pagenumber) in inner group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
Create one summary column (lets say cs_totalpages) in outer group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
(above will work if one field is printed only once in a form)
Create a field in inner repeating frame for cs_pagenumber and create a boilerplate text (&cs_totalpages) in the same repating frame for cs_totalpages. This should solve the problem.
Hope this helps.

Delimited output of report that contains frames with Print Direction = 'Across'

Hello all.
On the header section of my report, I have a frame with Print Direction = 'Across'.
On screen the output is :
Value1 Value2 Value3 Value 4
I want to export this report to excel, by using DELIMITED option. However the output I'm getting is :
Value1
Value2
Value3
Value4
e.g., reports is not generating several columns (one for each field), but separate lines.
Anyone knows how to accomplish delimited output of frames with Print Direction='Across' ?
Thanks in Advance,
Octavio

If you're not generating both bitmap and delimited data from the same report, try using character mode output rather than "delimited". You can create the report to generate the appropriately delimited values to a text file. This will also give you greater control over aspects such as headings.
Delimited output simply uses the structure of the layout. It doesn't take into account the across/down repeat directions except in the case of matrix.

Specifying order of pages in output with repeating frames

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports Builder 10g and I need help on this subject:
I'm developing a report divided in sections that reference statistics of the partitions present in an IBM Machine. Each page in the first section appears also in the other sections of the reports, i.e. the first page of the first section (with data from partition A) has the same layout than the first page of the second section (with data from partition B in this case), which is page 14 on the final pdf report, and so on.
For each 'kind' of page in the final report I use a repeating frame that fills a whole page in the page layout in reports builder (the parameter is the partition), so I get n output pages for each page in the rdf file (n is the number of partitions). The problem: in the resulting pdf output file, the first page of first section appears first, then the first page of second section, and so on. I need the pdf to be arranged in the correct order.
Can someone help me on this subject?
Thanks and regards,
Alex

How do you create sections?
What is the data model?

Page Numbering on repeating frame with 3 logical pages per physical page

We have a report in Reports 6i that prints a form on continous multi-part paper. We are converting the report to print to a laser printer with three forms per page. Each form has page numbers in the format of "page 1 of 15". The "page" refers to the form number and the "of" refers to the total number of forms for the outer group. So we could have page 1 of 15 through page 15 of 15 followed by page 1 of 112, etc.
I have tried all of the suggestions on how to base page numbers on a repeating frame and non of them seem to work. All the examples seem to be based on the idea that the logical page contains 1 or more physical pages; whereas my situation is that I have multiple logical pages on each physical page.
Does anyone have a thought on how to do this?

Create one summary column (lets say cs_pagenumber) in inner group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
Create one summary column (lets say cs_totalpages) in outer group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
(above will work if one field is printed only once in a form)
Create a field in inner repeating frame for cs_pagenumber and create a boilerplate text (&cs_totalpages) in the same repating frame for cs_totalpages. This should solve the problem.
Hope this helps.

Repeating frame with anchor

Hi all,
I have a repeating frame in a report and it is anchored to a text field object (variable height). This repeating frame is Across/Down mode, but its behavior is like a Down mode repeating frame. Could anyone help me?
Att.
Diogo Domanski de Souza
PS: I've already verified the width of the repeating frame and it fits twice per row.

For easy to illustrate, let's call the variable height text field F_1, and repeating frame R_1. When you anchor from R_1 to F_1, the position of the anchor is very important and it affects the location and formatted size of R_1.
For example, if the anchor starts on the left-top corner of R_1 and ends on the left-bottom corner of F_1, that means formatted R_1 and F_1 will anchor together with 0% on the left of F_1 and 0% on the left of R_1 from the original position. In this case, you should see two columns per row.
If the anchor is in the top-middle of R_1 and bottom-middle of F_1, that means formatted R_1 (which has different width than you see on the layout model because it could expand across) and F_1 will anchor together from middle of R_1 (50%) to middle of F_1 (50%). Because of the anchor condition, you should notice even the left position of formatted R_1 would be different than on the layout model if R_1 still can contain more than one column.
In summary, the anchor is defined based on the percentage of formatted object. Once you understand that, you can adjust the position of the anchor to achieve what you want.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Multiple repeating frames with same source printing same Values

Dear all,
I have a report which is having more than 10 repating frames in this 4 repating frames have same source assingned,during the report execution just before printing the repeating frames at various levels am inserting records into the source table assignd to the 4 repating frames.i actually want the repeating frames to print values i just inserted in to the table,diffrent repeating frames should print diffrent values.
i have put source query like this;
select * from <table> where print_status is null.
just before printing the repeating frames am inserting values in to this table
insert into <table> values ();
print repeating frame 1
insert
print repeating frame 2
insert
print repeating frame 3
insert
print repeating frame 4
in this particular case the report is printing only one row which i have inserted before printing the repeating frame 1.(basically the query is not refreshing at various grups)
I want to print records which is inserted at each level .using one source query and 4 diffrent repeating frames.
Hope am clear with my query.

Dear Kumar,
You are exactly right, but during the execution of the report at different interval I am modifying the data of the source table.
Dear Andreas,
Currently am modifying an existing report which is designed few years before, and having hell lot of frames and repeating frames and I need to include the above said portion between these repeating frames. The major reason why i tried to adopt this method is, during the execution of the report at each different intervals I am doing some calculation and then inserting the results into a global temporary table, again the same global temporary table am trying to print it in different places .Since I have multiple rows to print from this table I am using a repeating frame.
I have resolved this issue using packages and assigning values into packaged variables. But I had a gut feeling that declaring too much variables might confuse others especially some other developer.

Required components for Forms&Reports 11.1.2 with SSO support

Hi.
Dont know if this is the right forum but I would like to know if any of you has an experience in integrating Forms&Reports 11.1.2 with Oracle Access manager.
I am in process of upgrading Oracle Forms&Reports 10g configured to use single sign-on to 11.1.2 with Identity and Access management for SSO support. As I read the installation manual I got confused by how to integrate Forms&reports with Access manager to be able to configure it to use single sign-on with MS Active Directory authentication. I am not sure is there enough just to install Access Manager or the installation also requires Identity Management component.
I would appreciate if one could point me to the right direction. Thanks.
Best regards.

I recommend starting with baby steps. First ensure that the FMw installation is working. Can you run a form, and report, and so on. Then add single-signon with OAM. Verify that it is working. Then add AD support. If you try to dive directly into making AD work and something before this step wasn't working, you will have a difficult time troubleshooting.
Generally speaking, if you have OAM and SSO installed prior to installing FMw, connecting the two is fairly easy because the FMw installation will prompt you during the process. However, even after the fact, linking up can be done from within the EM console even though some external steps may be needed. Once this is working, they you can investigate adding AD to the mix.
If you already have OAM installed, you are ready to dive into the Forms Deployment Guide.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm
This part of the Deployment Guide will cover things like, which versions of the Identity Management components can be used with Forms/Reports 11.1.2. It will also discuss the functional information need in order to understand how it all works together. Also included are instructions on how to connect the FMw installation to sso. Be careful as you read any of the documents as it is easy to get confused when seeing references to "SSO". In some cases, the term "sso" means single signon and in others it is referring to the product, "Oracle SSO".
Information about using Active Directory is scattered around the IM documentation, but this is probably a good place to start:

Repeating frame with no rows returned messing up display

I have a repeating frame nested within a frame among other items. When there are no rows returned for the repeating frame query, the report is shifting all the objects below the repeating frame upward in the page. How do I get the space held by the repeating frame to just stay blank if no rows are returned?

Hi:
Is the Image and the Text within a Frame?If not, put these within a frame. If the text still moves up, then use an anchor.
what I mean is if your report looks like this:
<REGULAR FRAME>
<REPEATING-FRAME>
TEXT1
IMAGE
<REGULAR FRAME>
TEXT2
then put the TEXT1 and IMAGE inside a FRAME.

HELP! Need txt ouput, but issues with repeating frames...

In my data model, I have one main query, and three data linked queries. It IS a complex report, but I need to make it so that the user can output it to a delimited text file. I know how to do this, but when the report is printed, the rows are all mangled. If I PDF it, it's nice and pretty... one row per record. In my paper layout I have one parent repeating frame, which holds all columns, including 3 columns from the three data linked queries. Please help. Although I've written here before, I've never received a response, so I'm hoping this time will be different. Thanks.

I've read this document and that didn't solve my issue. I'm sure it has to be something others have done in building reports. A little more detail perhaps to help you help me:
Queries: 4
Main to get list of all students
3 other for attendance details (excused, unexcused and lates)
Paper Layout View:
1st layer: Frame
2nd layer: Repeating frame that holds all student info +
3rd layer: 3 more repeating frames for the 3 data linked queries that tells me if a student has missed any days.
PDF works great as an output, but it's needed an a delimited export or spreadsheet, both of which scrambles my 3rd layer numbers on different rows. I'm stumped. Again, any help would be great here.

Problem with text frame dropshadow not completely printing to pdf file.

Hi and thanks for your speedy replies!
I am editing a file that had altered corner text frames with a .25 inset and a drop shadow added, .05 stroke and paper swatch. When I deleted text everything shifted so I had to recreate the special frames on select pages. These new text frames are not showing the top and left sides of the frames when saved to pdf file. The right and bottom drop shadow are showing. What am I missing?
Cheers!

I am using the latest version in CC. I tried several exports directly from ID, PDF/X-3:2002, PDF/X-1a:2001 and the low res setting, all with no changes. None showed the left or top border on the frames in question.
So I was getting the first screen shot instead of the second which other similarly formatted frames showed. I checked every setting I could find and they were all the same. The problem just occurred after the point in the doc that I had made changes resulting in some pages being deleted and the page formatting being thrown off which I corrected with the appropriate saved page formats. But when I went to set up the frame dropshadow and accompanying stroke and swatches, the outline just would not show in the pdf although it appeared to be showing in ID.
I've since discovered a work around for the editing so no pages were deleted, but I need to figure out why this happened and what I am not seeing. Perhaps a setting to show the border? Or maybe it is some overall setting that I need to be looking for? Just weird, weird, weird...

Need help with inserting frame with scrolling images

Hi,
Im a beginner and need help putting a single box/frame with scrolling images in the middle of my layout, so that when viewed in browser, the header and footer remain in place, while the images and info in the frame in the centre of the page can be scrolled down/up?

You can use an iframe element <iframe src="" width="" height="" scrolling="yes"> though if you're concerned with crawlers you should avoid frames as much as possible.

Text/Label issue - being repeated for every record inside repeating frame.

Hi
I have a small issue:
In the repeating frame, the label (text) for the column is being repeated for every record. How may I have the text (label) appear just once and not for every record?
Thx!

Move headings outside of the repeating frame.

Help with repeating frame delay

I have this movie in which basically a screen is supposed to come on, hold for 15 seconds, move to the next one, (a little bit of tween in between) hold for 15 seconds, move to the next one, etc. But the whole time there is also a button which enables the viewer to go to the next screen before the 15 seconds have elapsed.
My initial solution for this was to just put in a lot of frames to make them last 15 seconds, but with many such instances repeating it becomes really hard for me to navigate the flash timeline.
So I've found several scripts that would allow me to pause a frame, but they all have the same bug. For example, a frame action like this:
stop();
function wait() {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
myInterval = setInterval(wait, 15000);
It works fine the first time, and works fine if you don't touch the "play" button, but if you click it a few times, after a few times the screens no longer wait 15 seconds to move on, but start moving at random intervals.
I found that script (and several similar ones which behave the same way) in some forum somewhere, but I noticed the posts were all very old. I haven't been able to find if newer action scripts and flash players support some better tricks to do this?
Anyone know a workaround, some way to get all those frames to pause in their own time without their intervals piling up and messing each other up? Maybe some action to put into the "play" button? Or into the frame?
Anything other than inserting endless amounts of identical frames into the timeline.
Here's my flash file if you'd like to take a look. It's very basic, I admit I'm not very avid in flash. It's Flash8:
https://www.yousendit.com/download/WTNMeEVRTXYzeUkwTVE9PQ
and the swf:
https://www.yousendit.com/download/WTNMeEVTTk04aU0wTVE9PQ
I'll really appreciate every help. Even if i need newer flash, all advice welcome.

I don't know if I did something wrong but I get this error when I do that:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=navigation, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
     autoAdvanceF();
Total ActionScript Errors: 1      Reported Errors: 1
I mean I only put
autoAdvanceF();
into the button action, nothing else...
is something else supposed to go with it?
I don't know action script, I just sort of paste stuff and sometimes it works.
EDIT
sorry I'm an idiot.
on (release) {
    autoAdvanceF();
ok got that now.
but when I do that what you said, put that first code into the first frame action, and that second code into the button action, the movie doesn't play at all

Format for Predefined lists of repeated measurements with changing variables

Hi,
I am a scientist and trying to draw an instrument ("writing a script" sounded wrong for LabView ) that is supposed to perform repeated measurements in an imaging experiment.
I want to be able to give the instrument a list that defines the values for several variables for each repetition, because I want it to do different things in different episodes of the experiments and/or alternate different acquisition methods. In this way I can use the same script for a wide range of experimental paradigms.
I am trying to decide on the format in which I could write the sequence to LabView to read. I looked into XML, but the LabView scheme seems pretty useless. If I use a textfile I would have to program a parseing script myself. If I use binary files I need to program an editor.
I also thought about whether I want a line by line execution protocoll or just changing variables and leaving the execution protocoll integrated in the instrument. However, the latter would reduce the versatility.
What would you think is a good way to do it?
In general each measurement consists of:
0. wait for a defined time (always the same)
1. light on (different light sources)
2. acquire images (different durations, exposure times, frames numbers)
3. trigger a device (not in all repetitions, maybe changing devices in future)
4. turn on a channel (changing channels)
5. acquire images (different durations, exposure times, frames numbers - also different from step 2)
6. turn off the channel (same as in 4)
7. acquire images (different durations, exposure times, frames numbers - also different from step 2 and 5)
8. light off (same source as 1)
So there is basically a repetitive pattern. The image acquitisition 'epics' are performed by the same device, everything else is switching on and off channels of a NI PCI.
Dennis
P.S. I use LabView 2009

I'm in agreement that your best bet would be a simple CSV or tab delimited file. You can edit these in Excel, which makes the writing a lot easier. There is the Read Spreadsheet File VI which can give you a 2D array for your steps and parameters.
So, to keep it simple, use a csv.
