Hidden column displayed on PDF report

Is there a way for a column to be hidden on screen but shown on PDF report?

You are right. A column not selected to show in the report does not show up on the PDF either. I had to work around this by specifying my own custom 'Print' link .
Let me know if you are intersted to know the method I used.

Urgent: Issue while displaying the PDF Reports Using XDO Common region

Hi all,
In our product code we are trying to display the PDF Reports, using the xdo common region.
Previously we were writing the pdf reports direclty onto the response direclty.
This displays the report onto the browser but if navigate throw browser back button, it doesn't displays the report as the response stream is empty while navigating through back button.
So to solve this issue, i tried to write the report using the OAHTMLWebBean and xdo common region. Here is the code:
ByteArrayOutputStream xdoOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XDOUtility.retrieveReport(xdoOutput,
parameters,
prop,
appMod
BlobDomain bxdoOutput = new BlobDomain();
bxdoOutput.setBytes(xdoOutput.toByteArray());
String redirectURL = DocumentHelper.getOutputURL(pageContext,
bxdoOutput,
"Report",
"PDF");
OAHTMLWebBean outRegion = (OAHTMLWebBean)createWebBean (pageContext, OAWebBeanConstants.HTML_WEB_BEAN, null, "IFRAME");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("src", redirectURL);
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("width", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("height", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("title","Report");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("name","Report");
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(outRegion);
This successfully displays the report in the XDO Common region. But now the issue is that there are hyperlinks in the Report displayed where from where the user can navigate to other detail pages.
When we click on these links, a new session starts in the xdo common region.
Is it possible that when the user click the links in the report displayed, instead of starting a new session in the xdo region, the detail pages is displayed with in the older session.

Sandeep

Image not displaying in pdf report using XSL-FO and using Oracle 11g databa

Good Afternoon,
I have created over 15 reports using XSL-fo, with the following syntax to display an image on the pdf:
fo:block margin-left="0.24cm" margin-right="0.27cm" margin-top="0.0cm" ><fo:external-graphic content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit" width="1.73cm" height="1.57cm" >
<xsl:attribute name="src">'url("http://readiness:7780/i/marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")'</xsl:attribute></fo:external-graphic>
</fo:block>
This syntax works fine when using Oracle 10g, now my database has been upgraded to 11g and my image no longer displays in the reports. I have already upload the image into the database as a workspace image.
I have tried to point the image @ the image by using url(#WORKSPACE_IMAGE#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif)
or <img src ="#IMAGE_PREFIX#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")
and it still doesn't work.
I have searched this forum trying to come up with a solution that will fix my problem and am unable to.
Current config: Oracle 11g, using pl/sql gateway.
I need to know how to point the xsl-fo file to the database, where the image now resides.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi,
I think you need load images to database XDB virtual directory /i/ and then use #IMAGE_PREFIX# substitution.
This might help to access /i/
http://www.apex-blog.com/oracle-apex/accessing-i-using-ftp-170.html
Or use this to load images

Re : Issue with the column display in Bex reports

Hello Gurus,
I have an issue with the reports in Bex, this is a bit confusing scenario I would try to explain in more details. A query was already built for monthly Report in Sales and Billing for which the variable were Calender month/year range 1 (mandatory), range 2 range 3 range 4. These 4 variable were created and moved to column rows in query.
Later the user wanted the copy of same report but he wanted the variables to be Calender date range 1 (mandatory), range 2, range 3 , range 4. I have created them with 0calenderday as reference and moved to the columns.
for the monthly report text variables were already existing for the Calender month/ year, but for the daily report text variable were not existing for Dates. I have created a text variable for the date in the following way processing by
" replacement path" and reference characteristic as 0calday and in the replacement path tab.. in replace variable the selection is info object, the next option Replace with " External charactersitic value key " .
By creating this text variable the dates were being displayed in the colum header like 11/01/2013 - 11/30/2013 which satisfies the requirement.
But the user wanted to see the report same like monthly report when the mandatory variable Calender year/ month is selected, the rest of the columns range 2, range 3, range 4 are displayed as unassigned in the report. but coming back to the daily report when the user is giving the Calender date rage 1, he is finding that Calender date range 2, range 3, range 4 are also being displayed with values. He want to see the Calender date range 2,3,4 as unassigned in the report just like monthly. Please find the images attached.
As Calender month/ year is predefined, if the calender range values are not given it would show up as not assigned default. I have created a separate text variable for Calender day, I believe that could be the reason rest of the columns are not showing up as unassigned. The user want to see them as unassigned like monthly report columns.
I tried different ways changing the text variables but I could not change the display of the columns in Calender date report by the option - replace with ----> External characteristic value key, key, label. when I chose the option external characteristic value then the date was showing up in the text of the column when report is run ( Please find the image for the reference in the attachment ). . I request you to help me out in this. Please find the images of the variables and output below.

Anshu,
Thank you very much for above code I made minor changes to the code that finally worked. I created 4 different text variables needed for Calender date range 1, 2 ,3 ,4. Please find the code below for the text variable that worked in the system
WHEN 'ZTEXT_CAL1'.
   READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO loc_var_range
   WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZCALDATE1'.
    IF loc_var_range-LOW = '#'.
      dt_low = 'Not Assigned'.
      dt_high = 'Not Assigned'.
      CONCATENATE dt_low '-' dt_high INTO l_s_range-low.
    ELSE.
      CONCATENATE loc_var_range-low+4(2) '/' loc_var_range-low+6(2) '/' loc_var_range-low+0(4) into dt_low.
      CONCATENATE loc_var_range-high+4(2) '/' loc_var_range-high+6(2) '/' loc_var_range-high+0(4) into dt_high.
      CONCATENATE dt_low '-' dt_high INTO l_s_range-low.
    ENDIF.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

Accents not displaying in pdf reports

We are currently using Oracle Application Server 10G 10.1.2.0.2 (Oracle Forms and reports) and moving to 11g database with a AL32UTF8 character set.
Our forms call the reports and generate them in pdf format. Our problem is that the accents are not being correctly displayed.
Can anyone offer any suggestions that may help?
Thanks so much.

We are upgrading our database to 11g.
The nls_lang is set AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8. Accents are fine through the forms but reports are another story.
Our servers are windows based (windows 2003 for the server). All of our reports are called from the forms and we use the in progress report and generated them as a pdf.
The accents I'm testing are:
ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÓÔÒÕÖâãäåæçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöùúûüýÿĀāĂăĄąĆćĈĉċĊČčĎĒēĔĕĖėěĚĘęĜĝĞğĠġĢģĤĥĨĩĩĪīĬĭĴĶķŃńŇňŌōŎŏŐőŔŕŘřŚŜŝśŞşšŠŨũŪūŬŭŰűŹźŻżŽžǑǒǓǔǕǖ
When I run a report through the report builder - everything displayed properly. If I run the same report as a pdf, then these accents are garbled.
Is there something on the server I need to set?
Thanks

Setting default columns displayed in interactive report

Hi APEX community,
I recently created an interactive report based on an sql query as follows:
select
"STOCK_CLIP_ID",
"TITLE"
from "STOCK_CLIP"
After creating the report I added an additional column:
select
"STOCK_CLIP_ID",
"TITLE",
*"UPLOADED"*
from "STOCK_CLIP"
The new column does not display by default, I have to add it under Actions > Select Columns. I cant find any setting to add my new column UPLOADED to the default columns to be displayed so that when a user first navigates to the report they dont have to add that column in order to be able to see it.
Sorry this is perhaps a stupid question with an obvious answer, i'm new to the interactive reports.
Thanks!

Hi,
Login to Apex builder. Run page where is your interactive report.
Select columns you like to show default from Action menu. Save report default layout from Action menu.

Columns displayed in standard reports

Hi all,
I need your help!
I need to make a report where the field "Priority" (from the document attributes in the blueprint part) is available.
This field is not available with the standard report (I am not able to choose this field from the displayed columns to choose from).
How can I get this field to show in the report? I hope that I can avoid an enhancement!
Looking forward to hear from you!
Kind regards,
Line

Hi,
I don't believe you can modify the out of the box lists without recreating them.
Not sure if this will work for you, but a possible workaround would be to use Search Layouts to achieve your desired result. For example, if you were to modify the Search Layout for accounts to reflect all the relevant columns you need to display, then a simple search for "*" as the Account Name would result in a search for All Accounts in the list format you wish to see.
Hope this helps.

Cameron

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.

Expanding the size of a column in an interactive report?

Hello,
I am wondering if the size of a column in a report can be increased, without reducing the amount of columns displayed in the report?
Thank you.

Hi,
You mean that data is not wrap in table cells ?
Try add to page HTML header

Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system. We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report. When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date. However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading? I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string. See below for actual display:
The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail):
Fund Account Description Balance 07/01/2014 Budget/Goal FY 14-15 YTD Actual 02/28/2015 Ending Balance 02/28/2015
In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names. See below:
In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
Fund Account Description Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE. Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY. YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE. Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
Second, all data display correctly.
Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

CANNOT DISPLAY A WORD/EXCEL DOC IN BLOB FIELD INTO A PDF REPORT

We created a report that should display several kinds of documents at one time.
These documents are stored in BLOB columns in database. We had no problem to
display txt, gif or jpeg, but we could not display doc, xls, pdf or html
documents.
In this report we set three different fields in which display different kinds
of documents depending on mimetype. The first field has FileFormat property set
to 'Text' in order to display 'text/plain' and 'text/html' mimetype documents.
The second field has it set to 'Image', which allow to display 'image/bmp',
'image/gif', 'image/x-png', 'image/pjpeg' mimetypes. The third field has this
property set to 'OLE2', and here is where we would like to display other
mimetype documents as 'application/msword', 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'application/pdf'.
We run the report on the web using:
http://<server>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60
?server=<report_server>
&report=<rdf_name>
&destype=localfile
&desname=<report_name.pdf>
&userid=<user>/<password>@orcl9i
&desformat=pdf
<6meters>
I have already read a lot of notes in Metalink but I could not find any
solution. Is there any way to display a Word/Excel document from database in a
report?
We tried to convert Word/Excel docs to html format, but when we tried to
display an HTML document in the report, we found that Oracle Reports displays
the source code instead of the HTML format document. So, this did not work.
What can we do?
We also read somewhere that a possible solution would be to convert Word/Excel
documents to a common format like GIF, JEPD or PDF. If processed as gif or jped
the file could be displayed in the report. If processed as pdf the document
could be linked in the report.
I tried to display a PDF in the report but a blank box is displayed. How can I
do this too?
Any solutions?

Hi,
I have the same problem. I need to show up a BLOB, word file(.doc), in a custom report. I made a simple query, extracting file_date( the column having the blog (.doc) file) from the database, in the report and placed it on a layout by assigning it to a field "F_1". I addressed the file format as OLE2.
But when I run the Report in APPS, it shows up an error "REP-1814: Report cannot be formatted. Object 'horizontally and vertically' can never fit within 'F_1'.". I also played with the layout by changing its size but the response had no change.
I am using Reports6i and the output format of the report is PDF. Is there a way to resolve the issue? Please share the solution if you have any for this.
