Ratnesh

Hi,
there's no direct support for the format triggers out of Oracle Reports. Therefore they are mentioned in the log file and in the created layout after conversion the objects with format triggers are colored red to show, that there you had to do some additional work.
Currently you had to built the logic of format triggers in BI Publisher new. Hve a look in the User Guide, there are some examples for if or choose statements.

How to display username in RTF BI publisher report?

Please advice how to display username in RTF BI publisher report?
May be this can be done via hidden parameter of BIP report which default value will be set up with macro like {$username$} (or smth like)?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. That worked. I was trying to get it as part of a multi-table query, aliasing dual. But that doesn't work in SQL Plus either so I guess I can't do that.
I was trying
select o.*, d.:xdo_user_name
from oblix_audit_events o, dual d
Before that I was trying
select
:xdo_user_name as USER_ID,
:xdo_user_roles as USER_ROLES,
:xdo_user_report_oracle_lang as REPORT_LANGUAGE,
:xdo_user_report_locale as REPORT_LOCALE,
:xdo_user_ui_oracle_lang as UI_LANGUAGE,
:xdo_user_ui_locale as UI_LOCALE
from dual
but I must have fat fingered something because that works now too. Thanks.
So if I need to do this in it's own query and I'm using an RTF template, how do I make that work?
If I have to do it with it's own

How to handle the trigger sequence

I really do not have any idea for this question.
the trigger need to implement:
An employee can not work on more than 2 projects supervised by any given department.
DEPARTMENT (dname, dnumber, mgrssn, mgrstartdate) KEY: dnumber.
PROJECT (pname, pnumber, plocation, dnum)      KEY: pnumber.

i defined two trigger for AFTER, trigger run orders are acorrding to. before statement level, before row-level, after row level and after statement level.
so my trigger actually can not implement requirement. how to handle it. now i try to use this rule: select w.essn, w.pno,p.pnumber, p.dnum from works_on w, project p where w.pno=p.pnumber; in statement level trigger. howerver in row-level trigger i can not get value i need(p.dnum i can not get its count). if you guy have any other ideas, pls give me some advise. my brain is really run out of.
Thanks for your help!!!

I would recommend creating a package/procedure that is the only way to insert a user into the works_on table. Then inside this procedure you need to serialize access to the works_on table by using a select for update. Then you can count the number of projects and ensure that the new works on is valid.
If you try to use triggers then due to Oracle's mutli-versioning, if two users insert the same data at the same time, the data integrity will be violated.
You will obviously have an employee table. I have created one here as follows:
create table employee (essn varchar2(9) primary key);
insert into employee values ('999999999');
Then you can use this table to serialize access to the works_on table by issuing a select for update against it. If you don't do this then two users executing the procedure at the same time will violate the constraint. It is important that you understand this and try it out with multiple sessions so that you understand it.
create or replace procedure insert_works_on
(p_essn varchar2, p_pno number, p_hours number)
as
l_essn varchar2(9);
l_count number;
begin
select essn
into l_essn
from employee
where essn = p_essn
for update;
select count(*)
into l_count
from works_on w
join project p on p.pnumber = w.pno
where w.essn = p_essn
and p.dnum = (select dnum
from project
where pnumber = p_pno);
if l_count < 2
then
insert into works_on values (p_essn, p_pno, p_hours);
else
dbms_output.put_line('Employee works on more than 1 project for dept');
end if;
end;
Then you can try it out:
begin
insert_works_on('999999999',1, 10);
end;
commit;
begin
insert_works_on('999999999',2, 20);
end;
commit;
begin
insert_works_on('999999999',3, 30);
end;
commit;
The first two will succeed and the last will fail. Try it out in multiple session as well to ensure it works for a multi-user scenario.

Dynamic layout formatting in Oracle BI Publisher reports

We are creating a planning report in BI Publisher, where in we have a requirement of dynamic formatting based on the month we are running the report. In the report we have different months as columns which displays the values for different KPIs (displayed in the rows).. Now, we need the current month data be highlighted down the column for all KPIs. This means that if it is April, April would be highlighted for all KPIs. Next month when we are currently in May, April would no longer be highlighted and May would be highlighted for all KPIs.. How can we achieve this via BI Publisher? Any help regarding this is really appreciated.

Hi;
When we are runnng BI Publisher reports, in the output of reports all the time if any Hypahan symbol comes then it automatically converting into question mark.You got hit this when you are printing?

How to handle no_data_found in Page/Regions/Body/Report

Hi,
I am new to APEX. I have a report in a the Region area of a Page. The Region Source allows me to enter only SELECT statement, no BEGIN/EXCEPTION/END are allowed. How can I handle a no_data_found exception in a report?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the solution. I tried it, and got with an error:ORA-06550: line 19, column 5: PLS-00372: In a procedure, RETURN statement cannot contain an expression ORA-06550: line 19, column 5: PL/SQL: Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 21, column 5: PLS-00372: In a procedure, RETURN statement cannot contain an expression ORA-06550: line 21, column 5: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
It looks like I am missing something.>
Post your code here in {code} tags.
My guess is you are not escaping single quotes or are not concatenating your Page Item
It should be something like ...
s1 vahracr2(4000) := 'select ..., ''A'' ,... from... where PID = '|| DBMS_ASSERT.ENQUOTE_LITERAL(:P1_CMDCODE);Note the quoting around A to escape the apostrophe and the use of concat.

How to include HTML link in BI Publisher Report?

Hi,
I am trying to include an HTML link in a BI Publisher report. But I get the HTML Code, not the link.
I have put this in the Data Set SQL Query:
select id_constancia, rfc, apellido_paterno, apellido_materno, nombre, e_mail_empleado,
'a href="http://dbxserver.dbxprts.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=134:1:::NO::P1_ID_CONSTANCIA:'||ID_CONSTANCIA||'">CITA</a ' as liga_cita
from geiq_constancias
where entregada = '0' and sust_rh = '0'
And I have included the field LIGA_CITA in the rtf template,
But I get this in the HTML output:
=======
Please clic on the link below to log into the system:
a href="http://dbxserver.dbxprts.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=134:1:::NO::P1_ID_CONSTANCIA:1183">CITA</a
=========
(I removed the beginning and ending '<''>' to prevent the text to be shown as a link)
I have put the property "Make HTML output accessible" to TRUE in the report configuration, but nothing changes.
Does anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks.
Francisco

Hi Francisco,
Note:
your xml should only have
<URL>http://dbxserver.dbxprts.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=134:1:::NO::P1_ID_CONSTANCIA:1183</URL>
Show me your sample XML , i can help you.
What is your expected output ? PDF or HTML ?
here it is.
option1:
If the XML data includes an element that contains a hyperlink , then you can use that element to create dynamic hyperlinks at runtime.
a. insert hyperlink from word menu
b. In the Type the file or Web page name field of the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, enter the following syntax:
c. {ELEMENT_NAME_WHICH_HAS_URL_LINK}
where ELEMENT_NAME_WHICH_HAS_URL_LINK is the xml data element name
option2:
create a form field, you can add it
<fo:basic-link external-destination="http://www.google..com">
<fo:inline text-decoration="underline">google Link</fo:inline>
</fo:basic-link>
or
<fo:basic-link external-destination="{ELEMENT_NAME}">
<fo:inline text-decoration="underline">google Link</fo:inline>
</fo:basic-link>
or
<fo:basic-link>
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination"><xsl:value-of select="ELEMENT_URL"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="LINK_NAME"/>
</fo:basic-link>

At Layout view, select the image field and press F11 and write your code.
But if the item is the only item in the repeating frame, you may get error or wrong data.
Hope this helps

How to handle multiple reports with single hyperlink parameter

Please suggest in my drill down report
i have two reports linked with one hyperlink
parameter, how to handle this?
please suggest for popup window with sample solution.
for example
report A--->B--->Chosse Report c or D
based on parameter hyperlink at report B.
Thanks in advance
Raj

Yes U R correct, that
I'm using srw.set_hyperlink in plsql format trigger
to open other reports , now the problem is
how to carry over the hyperlink parameter to popup window
and allow user to choose any reports based on the
parameter value.
for example
report A (Sales person summmary report)
|
| (choose sales person drilled to orders report B)
|
B (report has the hyperlink on order no)
|
|
C,D,E (many reports based on order no
customer,order details,pending items
to be shipped)
Now how to handle the situation from b to c,d,e
I suggest use hyperlink at B to open popup to show
reports C,D,E with the order no has parameter.
please suggest for javascript to open popup window
for reports c,d,e.

How to select multiple values from the parameters in BI Publisher report

How to select multiple values from the parameter drop down in BI Publisher, and how to handle this mulitple values from the report sql...

Hi kishore,
I have used all the steps as you mentioned in your previous reply....including checking Mulitple Selection Check Box..
Iam able to get the results when I am selecting one value..
and also I am able to handle multiple values the in the query by using IN :Parameter, but seems when we select more than one value from the parameter drop down i think the Bi Publisher is sending the values in concatenated form something ilke
ex: "'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'" ,and when trying to display the parameters values in the output, its throwing the error as 'missing right paranthesis' ....on the whole do you have any solution which would handle
1.Single selection.
2.Multiple selection.
3.'ALL' Values.
4.Separating the concatenated string into individual strings and dispaly them on the output of the report..etc..in case of Mulitple selection.
Ex:
Concatenated String from BI Publisher:"'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'"
Expected Output on the report:ACCOUNT,HR,SALES
reply to this would be much appreciated....
thanks,

How to format popup info in web reports

Hi Forum,
maybe it's quite easy, but I've no idea if or how I can format the popups
in web-reports, that come up if you hover a graph.
The current output is e.g.:
1/4 Figure-description category value
Is there a way to format the upcomming popup like the formatting you can do for series with $abs and $label?
Thanks in advance for any idea.
Regards,
Tobias

There is no standard way to do it.
You can manually use javascripting to create custom hover boxes.
You will have to understand the way HTML generates (it has flat image and AREA maps which isolate the areas of flag image w/ coordinates). Then enhance the AREA maps to override the standard hover boxes.
If you know javascript very well then you can use even available javascript frameworks to get highly customizable hover boxes. But it will involve considerable effort.

Format a col in alv report

How I can format a col in alv report. Suppose the col is like MSEG-menge and the value is 432,199.789 and I want to format it like '#####.##'. So it will display 432,199.79 in report.
Is there any wayout?

1) you can go to su3 transaction(System->User Profile->Own data) and define your format for Decimal notation in Defaults tab.
2)
for that particular column set the edit mask parameter in the field catalog.
