Formula column equivalent in Data Template

Hi all,
I'm working with my first data template and fumbling my way through. I was able to generate the XML output and apply my template. I have some idea on how to burst too, but I'm stuck on how to get the current user's email address. In Oracle Reports, I could just create a formula column and get any specific information needed. How do I do the same in Data Templates?
TIA,
Alka

HI,
Can I know How can we create the formula column like if then else logic in the Data template?

Glad if anyone can provide me with some examples how to keep formula columns in xml data template
Thanks

user9092293,
when you mean "unable to keep column formulas" in data template!!! are you not able to refer to them within the data structure element?? or are you trying to calculate them in the group elements and not able to???
If you could explain further it might helps us visualize your issue....
thanks

Sum of Elements in Data Template

Dear Members,
I am developing a report using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.
We are on E-Business Suite R12. I am using Data Template to Generate xml.
Following is my element structure in Data Template:
<dataTrigger name="afterParameterFormTrigger" source="XX_TEST_PKG.afterpform" />
<dataStructure>
<element name="P_REQUEST_ID" dataType="number" value="XX_TEST_PKG.P_REQUEST_ID" />
     <group name="G_PRODUCT" source="Q_MAIN">
       <element name="PROD_ITEM" dataType="varchar2" value="prod_item" />
       <element name="PROD_DESCR" dataType="varchar2" value="prod_descr" />
       <element name="PROD_ORGANIZATION_ID" dataType="number" value="prod_organization_id" />
       <element name="PROD_ITEM_TYPE" dataType="varchar2" value="prod_item_type" />
       <element name="prod_resources" dataType="number" value="prod_resources" />
       <element name="CS_TOTAL_EXT_COST" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_ING.EXT_COST" />
        <element name="PERIOD_CODE" dataType="varchar2" value="period_code" />
           <group name="G_ING" source="Q_MAIN">
               <element name="LINE_NO" dataType="number" value="LINE_NO" />
               <element name="LINE_TYPE" dataType="number" value="LINE_TYPE" />
               <element name="ING_ITEM" dataType="varchar2" value="ING_ITEM" />
               <element name="ING_ITEM_ID" dataType="number" value="ING_ITEM_ID" />
               <element name="ING_DESCR" dataType="varchar2" value="ING_DESCR" />
               <element name="ING_ORGANIZATION_ID" dataType="number" value="ING_ORGANIZATION_ID" />
               <element name="QTY" dataType="number" value="QTY" />
               <element name="ING_COST" dataType="number" value="ING_COST" />
               <element name="EXT_COST" dataType="number" value="EXT_COST" />
           </group>
    </group>
</dataStructure>I want to sum elements by name CS_TOTAL_EXT_COST and prod_resources and put that value under G_PRODUCT.
I tried the following but it did not work:
<element name="SUM_TEST" dataType="number" value="XX_TEST_PKG.SUM_TESTING(:CS_TOTAL_EXT_COST,:prod_resources)" /> XX_TEST_PKG.SUM_TESTING is a function which sums the input parameters.
In report Builder this was very easy. I would have created a formula column and summed up what ever elements i want. I am not sure how do we do this in Data Template?
Thanks
Sandeep

Any Ideas on how to Achieve the Sum of a Summary Column(CS_TOTAL_EXT_COST) and a Column(prod_resources) using data template?
As i mentioned before in reports builder, this can be achieved by creating a formula column and summing both columns.
I am not able to understand how do we do this in Data Template?
I can also sum those elements in MSWord Rtf Template, but are there any other options.
Thanks
Sandeep

Report Builder chrashes when creating a new formula column

Dear all,
whenever I try to create a new formula column in the data model, that is placed outside of a query, my report builder crashes completely. The same happens on my colleagues notebook.
If anyone has an idea why this could happen, please let me know. I am currently using Version 9.0.4.1.0.
Thanks and br
Daniel

You can keep the report builder you have now. Just install the new one in new oracle home. You can download it from here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/htdocs/904winsoft.html
This download has Developer Suite 10g (Report 9.0.4.0.33, Form 9.0.4.0.19, JDeveloper, Discoverer, Designer)
I don't think so you can select which product you want to install, like it was in 6i. So it will install everything.
Try to install this version. Hope this will help.
Thanks

Unless you have the periods explicitly stated in the webform design, im not sure it is possible to sum up just certain periods from one column (im assuming you have selected periods as ILvl0Descendants("Time") or similar).
Someone else may be able to shed further light on this...but as far as im aware you can only reference columns or rows (in terms of [A] or [1]) within dataform formulas.

Syntax of formula column in data template

Hi All,
I am trying to generate XML output from Data Template. But I am struggling with how to implement formula column. I am using this syntax. But it is not working. Please anybody send me working formula column syntax.
<element name="PO_NUMBER" value="PO_NUMBER" />
<function name="CF_DUMMY" dataType="number" >
<textSource>
<! [CDATA [
function CF_DUMMY return number is
begin
return 3;
end;
]]>
</textSource>
</function>
</group>

The call is done directly in the query.
In your Template header you can reference the database package to use this for example for triggers in your template:
<dataTemplate .... defaultPackage="myPackage" ...>
Then your Query looks like
<sqlStatement name="Q_2">
<![CDATA[select empno,ename,myPackage.cf_myformula(sal, comm) as Income from emp WHERE deptno=:abeilung]]>
</sqlStatement>
In your dataStructure Section you than can reference the formula like any other column
<element name="INCOME" dataType="number" value="INCOME"/>
Additionaly you can have triggers like before report trigger, where the logic is in the same database package:
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="myPackage.beforeRepLogic"/>

How to implement place holder columns in data template

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to mimic the functionality of place holder columns in RDF using Data Templates in XML Publisher.
How can I call a pl/sql function at element level when we try to group records in the data template.
To make it simple , let us say I have a requirement to retrieve the address of an employee(address line 1,address line 2, city,country)
In RDF what I do is define 4 place holder columns to capture address attributes, and in a formula column I set values to these attributes. How do I implement this in XML Publisher data template.
When I tried to implement the above requirement using test variables, I was able to execute a pl/sql function after the group tag, but not within the group tag.
I got the result for calc_values3 , but didn;t get anythng for calc_values1 and 2

For this, you need to have a master query and child query.
1) In your master query you will have to identify one unique column and call a pl/sql pkg function which calculates all values for your place holder columns and inserts rows into a pl/sql table with the index as your unique column
ex: Master query returns
empnum name amount
1 scott 250
2 bob 350
and your calculated value is 10 percent of the amount
your pl/sql pkg should insert records into the pl/sql table like r(1):= 250*0.1 = 25 r(2):= 350*0.1 = 35
2) The child query will get executed for each row of you rmaster query, so you should be able to read the values based on which master records row it is executing for
Please bear in mind that you have to make sure that the report is not executed by two different people at the same time, else you have to consider session or any other unique identifier in addition to your master records unique identifier.

Girish.

Blob Column in Data Template

Below is simple Example I tried and output doesnot look right.
Note: My Blob Database Column is "LOGO".
Sample Data Template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
<dataTemplate name="Employee_Listing" description="List of
Employees">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,LOGO from
EMP]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_EMP" source="Q1">
<element name="EMPLOYEE_NUMBER" value="EMPNO" />
<element name="NAME" value="ENAME"/>
<element name="JOB" value="JOB" />
<element name="LOGO" value="LOGO" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
Sample Ouput Created
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EMPLOYEE_LISTING>
<LIST_G_EMP>
<G_EMP>
<EMPLOYEE_NUMBER>999</EMPLOYEE_NUMBER>
<NAME>PILLAI</NAME>
<JOB>MGR</JOB>
<LOGO/>
</G_EMP>
</LIST_G_EMP>
</EMPLOYEE_LISTING>
My Question is :
Does output should have only a TAG for Blob Column or it should have image data
which can be rendered through Template using fo:instream tags.
Am I hitting any bug which is preventing retrieving Blob data through XML data template

I need to get data out of a BLOB column from a table in an Oracle 8i database and into a file that I can put into a MS Word template. The data in the BLOB column came from a MS Word document. What is the best way to proceed? We have a LOB datatype sample which shows how to save a blob from the DB to a local file at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/advanced/advanced.htm
I'd save it to a temp file and then using word add it. You could also spawn wscript.exe to run a Windows VB Script to automate word from the java application.

Applying order by for the data comming from the formula column

Dear Friends,
I am having a report in which some of the columns in which data is comming from the formula columns,but i need the data in asc order.
How can i do it.
Please advice.

I am having a report in which some of the columns in
which data is coming from the formula columns,but i
need the data in asc order.Lets say you have this query:
select empno, sal, comm from emp
And you have empno, sal, comm and a formula column 'f_percentage' in one group. Add one dummy column in the query, like this:
select 'temp' temp, empno, sal, comm from emp
Move this 'temp' column into the second group (drag and drop outside the first group). You don't have to create repeating frame/or need to show this 'temp' column on the report.
Now if you use break order on formula column, that should work. Make sure you have break order on other columns also. Arrange items (change order) in data model as you needed. Run your report before and after this change and make sure you have same number of rows before and after this change.
(from reports builder's help)
"Break Order has no effect on columns that belong to the lowest group of a particular query. Break Order only affects columns in groups that are above the lowest child group of a query"

Suppress Missing Data not work in web form with formula column inside

Dear All,
I've a planning web form with formula column inside to calculate the variance and % variance. But missing cell can't be suppressed, although I've checked the 'Suppress Missing Blocks' and 'Suppress Missing Data' options.
Anyone have face the same problem..?? and how to fixed it..??
thanks.
Regards,
VieN

There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing
10358200 - If a formula column exists in a data form, selecting the Suppress missing option does not hide rows that do not contain data.

Hi Rainer,
Many Thanks for your reply
I had done all the calculations in the report view earlier
and when i accessed it in the data template as follows
<element name="netSum" value="netSum" />
the xml output that i got was like
<R007>
<response>
<head>
<itemCount>8</itemCount>
<todayDate>2009-02-05T15:50:12.000+01:00</todayDate>
<creditorBGNumber>01829209</creditorBGNumber>
<creditorName>ANDROMEDA</creditorName>
</head>
<list>
<listItem>
<transactionDate>2008-09-03T00:00:00.000+02:00</transactionDate>
<netSum>-6647999</netSum>
<transactions>
<transaction>
<transactionType>AGCREDIT_TRANSFER</transactionType>
<serialNumber>5</serialNumber>
<amount>-1687200</amount>
</transaction>
</transactions>
</listItem>
</list>
</response>
</R007>
But the output that i want is something like this
<R007>
<response>
<head>
<itemCount>8</itemCount>
<todayDate>2009-02-05T15:50:12.000+01:00</todayDate>
<creditorBGNumber>01829209</creditorBGNumber>
<creditorName>ANDROMEDA</creditorName>
</head>
<list>
<listItem>
<transactionDate>2008-09-03T00:00:00.000+02:00</transactionDate>
<transactions>
<transaction>
<transactionType>AGCREDIT_TRANSFER</transactionType>
<serialNumber>5</serialNumber>
<amount>-1687200</amount>
</transaction>
</transactions>
<netSum>-6647999</netSum>
</listItem>
</list>
</response>
</R007>
Hence I used the BIP built in template function like this
<element name="netSum" value="transaction.SIGN_AMOUNT" function="SUM()"/>
but the sum() function is adding up all amounts as expexted,I want
the above newsum value as
Sum(AGdebit-AGCREDIT-AG_refund).

Hi all and Raineer
i have written a formula column in the below Data template and it is not giving any result for the id element when i view the xml output
<dataTemplate name="data_template" description="Template_description" dataSourceRef="TFUAT">
     <parameters>
          <parameter name="org_id" dataType="number" defaultValue="121"/>
     </parameters>
     <dataQuery>

               <![CDATA[SELECT party_name FROM
apps.hz_parties where rownum<10
]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>

               <element name="id" dataType="character" value="FormulaProfitMargin"/>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
     <programUnits>
          <function name="FormulaProfitMargin">
               <![CDATA[
      FUNCTION FormulaProfitMargin RETURN number IS
      BEGIN
        return (10);
      END;
    ]]>
          </function>
     </programUnits>
</dataTemplate>
thank you

If I use the suggested way in SQL query, I will have performace issue. My query selects 20 columns 4 among them are with aggregate functions. It is forcing me to do the group by with remaining 16 columns.
Please provide me the sample code which has alternate way to extract formula.
Thanks in advance.
