HELP! - RTF Report format

Reports 6i Database: 7.3.4
Hi,
I have a report that I am trying to generate to a RTF file format so that I can open the report in WORD. When I open the report in WORD it is the whole report, but I can't seem to see the whole report because it is in PAGE LAYOUT FORMAT with only shows the 1st column (the report has 3 columns). I do see the Header of the report and part of the Footer of the Report. How do I can I show the whole report in Normal view. Any suggestions?

Try to enlarge the page size in Word page setup.

Help on report formatting

Hi all,
Ok dumb question but I am going to ask anyway.....
I have a report that I want to break on emp supv so that each supv gets a separate page of their emps....
is there a way to make my report break to a new page or a new block so that when I export to excel I can break.
The report currenlty lists the supv then emp details then a new supv then emp details but there are no gaps in the report ( i.e. separation to a new page, line break etc)
Currently we do not have printing setup in Apex to use pdf, etc and I have asked Dba to set it up. If I export the report to excel, while supv is grouped with their list of emps, there are no breaks and in excel I will have to manipulate to provide each supv their list.
...I am trying to provide an easy way for user to print each supv to their own page prior to print server config being installed inside of apex - is this even possible?
I have been to the column breaks portion on report formatting of my report app and all I can see is to break by columns 1, 2 ,3 or all three but no way to tell it to separate.
Regards
Danny

You can't really do a page break in an excel file download. You would have to go into Excel and do the formatting to do that..

Hi there,
first, in object navigator, under system parameters, in DESFORMAT you have to put a DELIMITEDDATA for the output type of the file,
next, in the data model you have to create a query like:
SELECT 'Title 1' ||
chr(13) ||
'Title 2' ||
chr(13) ||
'Date: ' || to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD') ||
chr(13) ||
'Hour: ' || to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI:SS') || CHR(13) ||
:PARAMETER1 ||
CHR(13) Q0_HEADER_XLS
FROM DUAL;
And in the proprety panel for Q0_HEADER_XLS you to put NO, or discard from XML output.
may help.

Report Format... plz help

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in getting the report in proper format. Can anyone help?
Scenario:
ODS 1 gives the following Data for Jan, 2010:
Material--total Sale--
% of total sale
M1--4000.00--
40%
M2--6000.00--
60%
ODS2 has the transaction performed for each GL for Jan,2010 but we have to pick up only expense account GL1:
GL Account----
Total Dr/Cr posting
GL1----
350.00
Now the requirement is to make a report where the expense is divided by contribution of each Material in total sale.
e.g.
350 *40% = 140.00 will go to M1
350 * 60% = 210.00 will go to M2.
So final report for Jan 2010 will look like:
Material-Total Sale-% of total Sale---Expense
M1 --- 4000.00 --- 40% --- 140.00
M2 --- 6000.00 --- 60% --- 210.00
I tried few things with by creating multiproviders, but did not help.
I need your help to find out how to make the final report in the above mention format where data is lying into two unrelated ODS.
Note: There is no common link between ODS1 and ODS2. The only logic is to divide GL1 Balance based on the percentage contribution of each material into total sale.
Regards,
Mayank

HI Mayank,
You can also just create a virtual key figures - the ABAP code behind the virtual key figure will do the allocation process for you - it will look at the % of total sales information from DSO1 and calculate the total expense from the one GL1 account - then execute an allocation process to generate the result for the virtual key figure. i've created virtual key figures to generate results of a standard deviation (2nd power) on the fly so, it can definitely help support this allocation process.
You can also use BI-IP to do this for you with standard functionality - if you have both your ABAP and JAVA stacks installed then IP will work for you - you can then just create a formula via the formula editor in IP that will generate an allocation process based on information from both DSO's - this information would have to be in infocubes but that would help with reporting performance anyway.
Thanks and hope this helps, Pete

3.0 Shared Component - Report Format - all PDF

Greetings,
Details
I have been working with the REPORTS - REPORT QUERIES section of APEX 3.0
The testing I have been doing is very simple, but I am running into a bit of a stumper.
I have created 4 report queries on the EMP table (SELECT * FROM EMP) that all use the same REPORT LAYOUT. The RTF file which is the template is a very simple - show all columns and rows for the EMP table (14 rows).
I have set each of the 4 report layouts to a different format.
1 - PDF
1 - EXCEL
1 - WORD
1 - HTML
I am NOT using the ITEM to dynamically set the format.
I can TEST each of the reports in the shared component area, and they test OK with a success rate of 75%.
The EXCEL format does not export correctly. (using Excel 2002 on the client) It is a bit of a mess. (Works in the XML publisher template builder on the client.. so the format is not the issue.)
More curious is the behavior when I put this application. I have created a LIST of the 4 report formats. All 4 return the PDF format when used.
To see the Application:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34096
Question Summary:
1 - Has anyone run with and tested the RTF style report layouts out to Excel?
2 - The approach described usees 4 report queries against 1 layout. Is this a VALID use of the report functionality?
3 - Why would all the reports try to use PDF when they test in the correct formats?
Best Regards and Thank You.
-- Tim

Tim,
The Excel output is not strictly XLS, it's actually HTML formatted in a way that Excel understands and through setting the MIME-types we make it open in Excel. I have to try reproducing your specific problem with Excel 2002. If you could send me your RTF layout and the end-result ([email protected]), I can take a look.
Your approach using 4 different queries with the same layout is perfectly fine. Ideally of course, you would not have to replicate them same query four times, so we are considering a shared query concept for future version of Application Express.
You specific problem with the output format being PDF at runtime appears to be a bug, I'll investigate further. Meanwhile one work-around would be to use a report region instead. If you're using the same SQL query as the source, you can associate the same report layout (on the report print attributes page). You could also create a "container" page for that report region, that's never actually called by the end user, and then have a button pointing to the URL below for printing. It would then work just like your report queries, only that you now would get the requested format:
f?p=&APP_ID.:[REPORT PAGE ID]:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R[REPORT REGION ID]
so if your app ID is 34096 and your "container" page e.g. 99, and on page 99 your report region ID would be 1234567890, then use this URL as the button target:
f?p=&APP_ID.:99:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1234567890
Hope this helps,
Marc

Creation of report with the help of report painter

Dear Experts,
I need report painter material, if any body have pls farward to me.
my intension to create controlling report with the help of report painter.
I am ready to award full points.
Thanks in advance

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

How to create a dynamic RTF report which creates dynamic columns based on dynamic column selection from a table?

Hi All,
Suppose I have table, whose structure changes frequently on daily basis.
For eg. desc my_table gives you following column name on Day 1
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
On Day 2, two more columns are added, viz, Address and Salary.
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
Address
Salary
Now I want to create an Dynnamic RTF report which would fetch data from ALL columns from my_table on daily basis. For that I have defined a concurrent program with XML as output type and have attached a data template/data definition to it which takes in XML as input and gives final output of conc program in EXCEL layout. I am able to do this for constant number of columns, but dont know how to do it when the number of columns to be displayed changes dynamically.
For Day 1 my XML file should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 1, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone
Swapnill     23     12345
For Day 2 my XML file should be like this. With 2 new columns selected in SELECT clause.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
,Address
,Salary
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
<element name="Address" value="Address" />
<element name="Salary" value="Salary" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 2, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone     Address     Salary
Swapnill     23     12345         Madrid     100000
Now, I dont know below things.
Make the XML dynamic as in on Day 1 there must be 3 columns in the SELECT statement and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create one dynamic XML which should not be required to be changed if new columns are added in my_table. I dont know how to create this query and also create their corresponding elements below.
Make the RTF template dyanamic as in Day1 there must 3 columns in EXCEL output and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create a Dynamic RTF template which would show all the columns selected in Dynamic XML.I dont know how the RTF will create new XML tags and how it will know where to place it in the report. Means, I can create RTF template on Day 1, by loading XML data for 3 columns and placing 3 XML tags in template. But how will it create and place tags for new columns on Day 2?
Hope, you got my requirement, its a challenging one. Please let me know how I can implement the required solution using RTF dynamically without any manual intervention.
Regards,
Swapnil K.

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

Swapnil K.

The report format is:

The report format is:
<filename> <phase> <return code where appropriate>
here what is phase and return code where appropriate?
thanks
with regards

If you are talking about using the Report Generation Toolkit, the report format for Word reports is .doc format, and for Excel spreadsheets is .xls format. These are binary files whose format is proprietary to Microsoft. If you're talking about an HTML report, obviously the generated file is a .html file that is viewable in a standard text editor. And for Standard Reports, there is no file generation (they get sent straight to the printer).
Hope this helps,

If I want to generate report in .xls or pdf, it is working fine but in case of RTF it is showing that "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632" and then onclick of ok, it is displaying some junk data in word doc.
Below is the code written in PFR-
else if((outputType != null) && (outputType.equalsIgnoreCase("RTF")))
       outputType = "application/vnd.msword";//"application/vnd.ms-word.document";//"application/vnd.ms-word";
       ext = ".doc";
if ((outputType != null) && (outputType.equalsIgnoreCase("RTF")))
      TemplateHelper.processTemplate(txn.getAppsContext(), "XXCUST", templateName, txn.getUserLocale().getLanguage(), txn.getUserLocale().getCountry(), in, TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_RTF, null, pdfout);
else
      TemplateHelper.processTemplate(txn.getAppsContext(), "XXCUST", templateName, txn.getUserLocale().getLanguage(), txn.getUserLocale().getCountry(), in, (byte)btype, null, pdfout);

Frank,
"I don't see why you would need another column. What would you need to store, or retrieve, that a table like this wouldn't allow?
Notice my orignal xcheck table data plus a check date column
{code}
checkseq     checkno          invno               checkdate

{code}Sure, if you have other data that you haven't mentioned yet, then you need other columns, and maybe even other tables, to store that data.
Talking about this would be a lot easier if you described what you were trying to model in these tables, and what the different entities are.
after nomalization
{code}
seq(PK)     checkseq     checkno          invno               checkdate

{code}What do checkseq and checkdate represent? What is the realtionship between them? If there is another row with checkseq=3, will it necessarily have checkdate=01/01/2011? If there is another row with checkdate=01/01/2011, will it necessarily have checkseq=3?
Shouldn't I need to have the extra seq(PK), then use check seq to group the data report to meet users' target format ? Please adviseIt depends on what your entities are. If you explain that, then perhaps I can give some advice about how to model them.
In general, every type of entity requires a separate table. It looks like xcert represents one kind of entity, uniquely identified by certno. I assume there is some other kind of entity, uniquely identified by checkno, and that you have a table for that which you haven't needed to show in this thread.
Are you saying that there's some other entity, that is uniquely identified by checkseq? If so, it probably needs a table of it's own.
Every table should have a primary key. I had assumed that checkseq only served as the primary key of the xcheck table. If it serves some other purpose, then yes, you would need another column.
Many-to-many relationships usually require a separate table. I was guessing that xcheck was intended to record a many-to-many realtionship between xcert and some other table. Guessing is not always the best way to solve problems. I think it would be better if you explained what you want to do, rather than have me guess at it.
So far, what you've shown is analagous to an order entry system. One kind of entity is customer, another is supplier. Say you're running a company that sells products from many suppliers to many customers. There is a many-to-many relationship between customers and suppliers. Any customer may buy from many suppliers; any supllier may sell to many cutomers. You may have an orders table that keeps track of that many-to-many relationship. You may also have another entity, salesman, that also has many-to-many relationships with customers and suppliers. Depending on what exactly you consider an "order", there are lots of different ways to model this. Can a single order involve many customers? Can a single order involve many suppliers? Can a single order involve many salesmen? If an order always involves one customer buying from one supplier using one salesman, then you may only need four tables. If the situation is more complicated, then you may need more tables.
