How to Freeze Headers of tabular report and Forms - and Column Alignment

I have executed the solution listed in the following thread in my tabular form.
Re: How to freeze Headers of tabuar report and Forms in APEX 4.1
This works pretty well in my tabular form, but I do have a question and was wondering if the forum users can shed some light.
The tabular form has some display only fields and some editable fields. For example, columns A - G are display only fields (Display as Text - escape special characters, does not save state) and other fields that come after are editable. When there is data in the display only filed, every thing looks fine - column headers are aligned with the tabular form column data. But when there is no data in, one or more of, these display only fields, the tabular form columns/data shift to the left and now the column header does not align with the column data.
Following are the specifics
Full APEX version - 4.0.2.00.07
Full DB/version/edition/host OS - 11g
Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS) - HTTP Server OAS
Browser(s) and version(s) used - IE 8
Theme - Sand-10
Template(s) - was using the Standard Report (then created the one found in the thread listed above and substituted with the new one)
Region/item type(s) - Chart Region
Links to related posts and threads (using the methods in the FAQ) - Re: How to freeze Headers of tabuar report and Forms in APEX 4.1
How do I set the column widths so the column header aligns with the column data?

As right now I don't have the APEX and browser versions mentioned, I will set up the environment and look for the issue faced by you.

same parameter from group report.
First Problem: is I don't know how group report send the
same parameter to question report and add question report at the
same time. And is it possible??? If not please suggest me what
should I do???
Second Problem: is I don't know how can I pass parameter from
report to form. I don't know the way to do it.
Please tell me!!! Please...
I look forward to hearing from all of you.

One way is to create a link based on that form and attach that
link with the report. Through links you can pass parameters

Excel R&A Import - Freeze Headers in Financial Reporting Studio don't work

Our users like financials in Excel and fully formatted to their liking so we create the template in Financial Reporting Studio and then import the template via Excel through Workspace via Independent Provider Connection. If the certain grid template in Financial Reporting Studio was set to several "pages" to produce, all the pages will popup on separate tabs in Excel. My question is, for each "page" which populates info on one tab in Excel, when printed, could be several printed pages long so the column headings don't reprint. I can manually set up Excel to reprint the column headings but since we produce thousands of reports with various templates, we don't want to run too many macros all the time. I know the export in PDF from Workspace will freeze the headers because I froze it on the template in Fin Rptg Studio, so how come the freeze headers don't translate in Excel?

Actually that's what I thought so that I won't have to run the config utility for a client install. When I did the Typical installation it gave me an option at he end of an install to run the Config utility or not.
As far as the registery cleaning is concerned, there are probably 100 entries all over the place. Pain the neck but I guess that would be my only option here.
With the vpd.properties file, I can definitly say that in 9.3.1.3 it is there. I have the same version installed on my machine and I have the vpd.properties file.
So, I think the bottom line would be to uninstall everything related to Hyperion.
Clean the registery for all Hyperion entries.
Reboot and reinstall.
Thanks for the reply though.

How to do a partial refresh of a form and report on the same page?

Hi all,
im trying to make a page where you have a report on top and when you click the link instead going to the form page, the form page is on the bottom of the report. lets say im trying to send an id from the report to the item below so that i could fetch the rest of the item. however when i pass,other items would still refer to this one as null.
if im not mistaken this could be done with submit,but i want it to be partial refresh..
i tried steps here but this only worked when the lower part is a also a report:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2345863
i also tried this,but this actually submits a page..
Grassroots Oracle: Apex Tutorial - Form & Report sharing the same page
would it be possible to get a form and report in one page as partial refresh?

If so, you need to create a dynamic action with a javascript action to set the id of the report row in the id form field, and a subsequent pl/sql action to fetch the record based on the id. You can use this record to set the other form field items.
For the example in the above link the code looks as follows.
the javascript action:
var empno = $(this.triggeringElement).find('td[headers="EMPNO"]').text()
$s('P26_EMPNO',empno)
the PL/SQL action:
declare
cursor c_emp is
select * from emp
where empno = :p26_EMPNO;
BEGIN
for r_emp in c_emp loop
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ENAME',r_emp.ename);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_JOB',r_emp.job);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_MGR',r_emp.mgr);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_HIREDATE',to_char(r_emp.hiredate,'dd-mon-yyyy'));
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_SAL',r_emp.sal);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_COMM',r_emp.comm);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_DEPTNO',r_emp.deptno);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ORDNO',r_emp.ordno);
end loop;
END;
Hi Vincent,
Yes! im looking for something similar. This looks interesting. I did look into apex_util.set_session_state yesterday but didnt know how to apply. perhaps i was doing it wrong.
Question though, so basically first use the javascript to send the EMPNO from top report to the EMPNO in the form fields below.
Then based on the EMPNO received in the form, do a loop to get the rest and put it into session. Correct?
if i'm not mistaken i did something similar,but when i tried to set session for the rest,it refers to to the p26_EMPNO still as null..does the javascript sets the id of report to the id of the form or does it just send over?
i'll try it out.
Thanks.

How to print Headers for Delimited Report?

Hello,
I am able to generate a Delimited report. Report is running and saving to a specified folder as a ASCII file(.txt). I can open that file using Excel and every thing looks good. But the problem is with the headers, to the columns. I would like to print the Header to each column. Other wise we do not know which column is which. Any kind of feed back is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
EV

If you're using 6i Patchset 11, you might like to take a look at the "delimiteddata" command line option rather than using "delimited" output.
"delimiteddata" is driven from the data model and you can specify which columns you want to include and also define the column header values in the same fashion as the XML tags.
You should be able to get more details from Metalink.

How to run Net Configuration Assistant on 10g Forms and Reports server

I have a Windows 2000 server with Forms and Reports Services installed from AS 10g v. 9.0.4 (just the Forms and Reports install). According to the OUI, Net Configuration Assistant 9.0.4 is also installed. However I cannot figure out how to run the Net CA. There is no shorcut that I can find. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have looked all through the Start menu but see no "Configuration and Migration". I assume it's because I only installed the Forms and Reports option, so I only have Forms Services, Reports Services, and the Universal Installer. No big deal - I've already setup tnsnames manually. I just like to use the Net Assistant when I can.

How to apply modified UI Defaults to existing forms and reports?

Hi all--
I've been struggling with UI defaults and after searching through posts in this forum, it doesn't look like I'm alone.
Is there a way to apply changes made to UI defaults to existing forms and reports? New forms and reports pick up the changes, but can they by applied retoactively?
Thanks in advance,

Well, Forms and Reports are still core skills to have.
Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF are the core tool/framework used for our future business applications (Fusion) as well as being at the core of our tools like WebCenter, BPM, EM etc etc. So that might be a smart option of you want to do something new which will be a core Oracle skill. The book I wrote on this might be of use. Google for "Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development Oracle JDeveloper Oracle ADF".

How to assign apex_user in tabular report

Hi,
I have created a tabular report. Under report attributes / Tabular Form Element I have set the Default Type to (PL/SQL Expression of Function) and under Default (:apex_user). It looks like using :apex_user does not give me the username but if I instead of :apex_user say use sysdate it does give me the date.
thanks so very much

Sorry, it should be :app_user not :apex_user.

Calling report from form and after parameter form trigger

Hi, I've also posted to this to the reports forum but because it works from Reports Builder it may be a forms issue which is why I'm x-posting. Apologies.
I have a report that creates a file, desname is set in the after parameter form trigger (it uses one of the parameter values).
The problem is file is not created using the path and filename set in the trigger, the file is created in the bin folder with the name account_by_service_type.txt (account_by_service_type.rdf is the report definition).
If the desname is set in the before parameter form AND a field with the source=desname is added to the parameter form then the file will be created with the correct path and name however it won't have the relevant parameter incorporated into the file name obviously.
I've noticed in other reports that where the desname is being set in the after parameter form that I've had to pass the desname from the form but obviously I cannot do that here either.
Am I missing something obvious?
Regards
Sean

How to read User ID from the request Form and pre populating in the AD User process form before provisioning

I am trying to read the user Id from the submitted AD User request form( Catalogue AD User form. I need User Id,firstname and lastname inorder to prepopulate the common name as in this format - lastname,firstname (userid) for the user to be provisioned in Active Directory.
So after filling the AD User request form with User Id and Organization and submitting the request, I am trying to
prepopulate the common name in the process form before the provisioning.
The prepopulate adopter for the common name is configured to read the firstname, lastname and userid. firstname and
lastname variables are mapped to User definition and user Id is mapped to Process Data. In this setup I am not getting the
User Id value from process data, it is empty.
Is this a bug with OIM 11g R2 or I need to do it differently in order to read the user Id that user has entered in the
request form for populating the common name?
Thanks

How to get USER_ID and IP_AddressWhy exactly do you need this data and what do you plan to do with it?
The data is not reliable and trustworthy. IP addresses can easily be spoofed (a few seconds if you know what to do and how to do it). Also, IP addresses are not static. Users also do not use the same network device to access the database - different devices will have different IP addresses.
The o/s user on the client is supplied by the client driver. This can also be spoofed.
The user can also use a virtualised device - which means that recording the IP and o/s user seen from the server side, is pretty much useless and meaningless.
So if this data is intended to be used for auditing for example - it would be pretty suspect data to use for that purpose.
