Html report layout

Hi,
reports 10g - html output
Just wondering if there are any tricks to meet this requirement:
I have a report layout where each section of the report needs a header which is white text color on a grey background
I've tried with a rectangle with fill color in the greytone I want - but the color is not seen/white in the output.
How do I control the rectanglefill color for html output ?
Thanks
Pete

ok htmlcss was fine when its a text only report
I've got other reports that has text and images and changing from html to htmlcss gives an ugly layout where text and images suddenly overlap.
Any suggestions for those reports
TIA
Pete

Pdf printing Report Layout

I'm trying to modify the default Report Layout and I'm almost there, except for how the Apex engine loops through the sub-templates is messing me up. I want my report to look like:
COL HEADER1
COL DATA1
COL HEADER 2
COL DATA2
COL HEADER3
COL DATA3
etc.
I can do this in the HTML report layout no problem, but the pdf output looks like:
COL HEADER1
COL HEADER2
COL HEADER3
COL DATA1
COL DATA2
COL DATA3
etc.
When I try to merge the Report Column Heading and Column Template code together in the Column Template field and just use #PRN_TEMPLATE_BODY_ROW# in the Report Layout, I get:
'#COLUMN_HEADER#'
COL DATA1
'#COLUMN_HEADER#'
COL DATA2
'#COLUMN_HEADER#'
COL DATA3
So basically, the #COLUMN_HEADER# substitution string doesn't get substituted with the actual column header name if it's used in the Column Template section. I think it should, since then my problem would be solved. Any insights? Thanks.

Kathryn,
The #COLUMN_HEADER# substitution string does not get substituted when used in the column template section. I agree it would be helpful if it were though, unfortunately that's not the case yet. I'll add that for the next release,

Marc

Print HTML Report.vi doesn't scale properly.

LV 8.5.1, Report Generation Toolkit, XP. Our application uses the Print HTML Report.vi to print an HTML report.
We found that on some installations the resulting page does not scale properly. Instead of being one page wide,
the printout is about 1.5 pages wide (and proportionately longer), leading to our report being truncated.
Tried different printers, different print drivers, no difference.
Finally we noticed that the affected computers all had Internet Explorer 6 installed. Updating to Internet
Explorer 7 fixed the problem. Don't know about IE8, I expect that will work as well.
Hopefully this will help someone else who runs across this problem. I couldn't find any reference to
an IE > 6 dependency in the Report Generation Toolkit readme system requirement.

Hi Charlie,
The layout option is not wired to anything in the Standard, HTML, Excel and Word Report, but it is used in the Quick Print default case. The Help document for this VI mentions that the layout option is ignored on Standard and HTML Reports but does not mention the Excel or Word Reports.
This was discovered a little while ago in this discussion forum. And a report has be filed to R&D by Ben.

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Is there any SR raised for this issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

Unable to view Report Layout in Web Preview

Hi All,
I am facing some intermittent issues with some Hyperion FR Reports on Workspace.Whenever I am trying to see the HTML view of the report it simply shows the POV and no report Layout,the complete page is blank white whereas other reports are working fine.
Even when I am trying to open it with Studio and then trying to see its web preview then also it is showing me the same behaviour.
Thanks
AG

Hello Mehmet,
I think you are correct as it seems the user with which I was tryoing to run the report didnt have access on Dimensionality because when I tried with a different user I was bale to see the data.
There is another issue which I am facing related to the Relative Memeber function in Essbase.I am trying to extract the Previous Year from the POV selected member using RelativeMember function in Essbase but it is giving me error as [None]Member selected in the report however the same function is giving me results when I use it in Planning connection.
Any advice?
Regards
AG

Report layout supports each field listed vertically(1 field per row)

I'm basically new to APEX. I have a report that displays 1 record of data with each field(1 per row) listed vertically. When using the default APEX report layout template, the Print attributes(.pdf, xml, online, HTML, etc.), every format prints all fields in one row. Can someone please provide the proper report layout that I can use to get my desired printout?

This is the Oracle Reports forum. Post this in the Apex forum.

Report Layout width(Report based on SQL Query)

Is there any way to increase the width of the report layout? I have removed as many columns as I can and dropped the font size down but the data in the columns is still wrapping to more than one line. How can I increase the report layout width, or change the layout to landscape or something similar.
thanks

I had this problem with wrapping text. You have to create a Reports From SQL Query and choose a custom layout. Then when you go the the HTML layout section, you will need to ad nowrap to the <TD> tag (i.e. <TD nowrap>) for each field you do not want to wrap.

PDF Printing Issue - Customised Report Layout Error

Hi,
I am trying to get a PDF file output based on the customised RTF file created. I follow the following steps but I am facing an issue with that.
(i) Go to Shared Components > Report Queries.
(ii) Create a new Report query with more than one query.
(iii) Using the XML Data in the Report queries, create a Report Layout (RTF) file.
(iv) Navigate to shared components Report Layout and upload the RTF file.
(v) Once this is done, use the Report Layout created in the Report Queries. Select the Layout name from the Drop Down.
(vi) Click on TEST REPORT, this produces an error: Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded )
Additional Info
The apex instance configured with Embbedded plsql, rdbms version is 11.1.0.7.0 and the BI publisher version 10.1.3.3.
ISSUE DESC
When I use mulitple Queries even after using Generic Report Layout I get the output for the first query alone in the PDF and the remaining Queries are ignored.
And when i use a user defined template, then even If i have a single report query I get the error.
To summarise, I am not able to use the customised Layouts.
I have reproduced the issue in apex.oracle.com
Please log in using,
WORKSPACE: demo_test
USER NAME: [email protected]
pwd: vidhya
After logging in please select the Application Builder.
In that select the Application named PDF.
Select the Shared components > Report Queries
Select the Report Query named test.
Click on the TEST REPORT button in the Source Queries Section.
You will get the error.
Now in the same page in the Report Query Attributes Section change the Report Layout to Use Generic Report Layout and then click on 'TEST REPORT', this will give the PDF file without errors.
The same report has been called from the PRINT REPORT button provided in the page 1 of the application.
This issue is really urgent and critical. Require your inputs/help.
Thanks,
Ramya

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Report Layout Editor

I have used this successfully in the past but have a new challenge.
In the past I have been able to produce clean and tidy reports for a single table. Now I want to do the same for a query joining two tables (order and transaction) on a single order id.
An order has several transactions. I don't want to repeat the static order details on every row, just the changing transaction details.
I have been able to list only the transaction details in the body section quite easily. I've also been able to list the labels for the order details in the head section. But when I try to list the field data using the .FIELD suffix instead of the .LABEL suffix it is not changed to data.
I take it that the head section is designed to deal only with .LABELS while the body section deals only with .FIELDS.
Can anyone suggest an alternative for doing this? Would a dynamic page be better? And if so how do I do it? Bear in mind that I need to pass a variable containing the order id from another report.

Sharmila-
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to reference a value from the report rather than the parameter itself. I'll try to explain. I have a report which displays information for an employee. For a custom report, in the report layout editor there are three different sections, headings, body and footer. In these sections you place the HTML to customize your layout. In the body you can reference placeholders like #EMPLOYEE_ID.LABEL# for the column heading or #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# for the value retrieved from the database. In the footer section of the report layout editor I want to create a link to another report using employee_id as the parameter in the link to the next report, however, within the link I am not able to get it to recognize the value from the placeholder. When I click on the link the URL shows the placeholder #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# rather than the value like 1001.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Mark

Custom report layout question...can't find any answers anywhere

I am trying to build a report in Portal, using the custom report layout. The report displays like so, before I do any customization:
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
where COLUMN1 is the same value, always per report; COLUMN2 and COLUMN3 vary.
What I want is:
COLUMN1
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
In the report layout editor, Body section, this is what I see:
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
so #COLUMN1.FIELD# must be some kind of array, but I am not finding any documentation anywhere on how to reference the individual values. All I need is the very first value of the COLUMN1 variable. Once I have that value, I can put it where I need it, but I can't get at that value, just the array.
I have searched portal center, the app server documentation, html documentation. I have googled everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I found a similar question on this forum, but no one responded with an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Date Parameters displaying a day prior on Report Layout

Hi,
I am currently creating some reports using Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.6.2.
The reports in question have a Start Date from Parameter and an End Date To Parameter.
I also display the values for the parameters in the Report Layout which appears to display the values entered correctly in the Interactive Viewer, but looking at other outputs (i.e. HTML, Excel, PDF etc.) the value in the parameter field in the layout always displays a day prior to what has been entered.
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks in advance.

This is an example of code:
<?xdofx:substr(season_start_date,6,2)?>
This would take the month out of the repository variable: season_start_date, in the format MM.
(MM is on the 6th position, with a length of 2.)

Report Query using a Named Column Report Layout fails to produce PDF

I am testing FOP and the Shared Component Report Queries query with a Named Column Report Layout. The xsl file was built using Stylus Studio and worked fine with the saved XML data file in Stylus Studio.
500 Internal Server Error
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: An exception occurred.
The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response.
Please consult the application log for details.
I assume this is a message from FOP. What do I do now?
tia,
Sam

Sam,
I would suggest to take APEX out of the picture first and see if you can get this to work directly with your FOP solution, i.e. generate the XML data and take your XSL file and then post it directly to the FOP JSP (or whichever rendering engine you use). If this works, the problem might be somewhere in your APEX configuration. If it doesn't work, then the problem is likely in your XSL or XML structure. Here's how you can setup a static HTML page to post your XML and XSL to FOP:
