Htmldb_application.g_excel_format for CSV download from Interactive Report

I have an Interactive Report which I would like to modify so that it downloads to CSV different fields than it displays (some of the online displayed fields are hypertext links). In the past, dealing with "classic" APEX reports, I did this by defining 2 versions of the relevant fields, one for display and one for download. I then used a PLSQL condition checking htmldb_application.g_excel_format to determine which version of the field to use. I have tried this using the Interactive Report, and it does not work for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. In both the online and downloaded version of the report, I am seeing the hypertext links.
I am using APEX 3.1.1, running on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

  • ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine message in CSV download from Interactive Report

    Hi,
    1 particular Interactive Report in our application produces the following error message in the CSV file, if we attempt to download the report: -
    ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine
    All other reports work OK, there is another thread here with the same issue, but no resolution was posted: APEX 4.1 ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine
    Has anyone else come across this issue?
    Apex version is 4.1.0.00.32

    Hi,
    what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
    On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
    Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
    Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

  • Download from Interactive Report to csv is not working

    Hi there,
    when I try to create a download form my interactive report I get an empty csv/pdf.
    I just checked with other report pages where the download functionality is working - but the settings seem the same.
    In the interactive report properties I've set the check boxes for csv and pdf and it is also displayed properly then on the report page. But when I click on the download (csv or pdf) just an empty document is opened.
    What settings can I check now - what might be the reason for the error?
    BR & thank you,
    Lena

    Keerti,
    You're using the "Display Condition" of the Interactive Report Region (IRR) to show the report or not.
    If you have multiple selects just use a PL/SQL expression as in:
    :P1_MULTI_1 IS NOT NULL
       AND :P1_MULTI_2 IS NOT NULLNow, if that works for you lets take things a little further... You don't need the second submit button all the time (I'd get rid of it entirely but you seem to really want to hide the region until a selection is made). I did the following:
    1. Updated the display condition of the report to use a PL/SQL expression.
    2. Set the display condition of the submit button to the opposite of the IRR.
    3. Added the item name of the select to the interactive report attributes > Advanced Attributes > Page Items to Submit.
    Now the go button can be used for everything.

  • Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

    hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
    I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
    this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
    I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
    File does not begin with '%PDF-'
    and
    Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf 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 try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
    File does not begin with '%PDF-'
    Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
    Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
    (response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Carol

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
    But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
    "Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf 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)."
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,

  • ORA-20876 in csv export from interactive report = Possibly a bug?

    Hi Apex team,
    yesterday i tried to download data to csv from an interactive report. The resulting csv file contained a "ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine" only and no other data. I played around with other reports in my application and had no problems with exports.
    After some investigation i found out that the buggy report contains a column of display type "Display as text (based on a LOV, escape special characters)". When I changed this column type to "Standard Report Column" for example, the error didn't appear anymore and the csv export contained complete data.
    Maybe this is a bug? The environment is Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on 11g (UTF-8). Is there a workaround available?
    Regards,
    Jens
    Edited by: j.gauger on 06.02.2013 14:10
    Additional Information
    The problem seems to occur only if a Shared Components LOV of type "Static" is referenced in the IR column.

    Hi,
    what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
    On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
    Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.

  • Unable to open PDF output (PDF downloaded from Interactive Report--APEX)

    Hi,
    I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
    Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramamuni.

    Steps of pdf Printing of Report from FOP:
    1) Download and unzip the following needed files in D:\Apex_fop directory.
    2) Open your command prompt .
    Change the directory to D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11.
    Set the Java_Home environment variable as: set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21
    then type build war
    3) After getting the prompt back as D:>Apex_fop>cocoon-2.1.11>
    Copy coocon.war file from the folder D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon.
    Paste this file into webapps subdirectory in main tomcat directory having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps.....place it in the top
    level of webapps directory.
    4) Now just startup tomcat as D:>APEX_FOP>apache-tomcat-6.0.26>bin>startup.bat
    The cocoon.war file will automatically uncompressed as directory.
    5) To change the port of apache tomcat , edit apache-tomcat-6.0.26\conf\server.xml & change port attribute of Connector element from 8080 to 8181.
    Just check whether Tomcat is running or not as http://localhost:8181/
    & to check cocoon type http://localhost:8181/cocoon/
    6) Now copy fop_post directory & paste it undes new cocoon directory in webapps having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps
    \cocoon.
    7) Now you need to do some apex settings as follows:
    In APEX, just log in as ADMIN into apex/apex_admin and went to Instance Settings and did the following:
    - Print Serverr: Standard Support
    - Print Server Protocol: HTTP
    - Print Server Host Address:localhost
    - Print Server Port: 8181
    - Print Server Script: /cocoon/fop_post
    In your APEX application, in the Regions section, Click on the Print link next to your report and do the following settings:
    - Enable Report Printing: Yes
    - Link Label: Print
    - Response Header: Report Settings
    - View File As: Attachment
    - Output Format: PDF
    - Report Layout: Default Report Layout
    - Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1063230002781575
    8) Open up the Report Page and click Print , You will get the pdf report.
    I am sure this will help you

  • Download data from interactive report

    Hi all. I'm on apex 3.1.1.00.09.
    I have this problem: when I download data from interactive report I can download only in CSV and PDF. If I try to download into pdf it creates a file of only 1 KB.
    I would know if I must configure my apex in order to download correctly in pdf and if I must configure it in order to download in doc and xls format.
    Thanks all for collaboration,
    Fabrizio

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am able to download the csv file, but my problem is: I don't want the column headings to show.
    Is it possible to download only the data, not the column headings?

  • Strip Tags From Interactive Report Download.

    Is it possible to strip html tags from a column during a CSV download on a interactive report?
    Basically i have a report where one of the columns is as follows
    453<font color="red"> | </font>0

    Any ideas how i can do this using the standard csv download from the drop down menu?
    Thanks Andy

    Just wondering if any one had any thoughts on how I may be able to do this

  • Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

    Hi,
    I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
    I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero»  is not working any more.
    So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
    I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
    It’s a good idea?
    Thank you

    Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
    On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
    [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
    user = 'test'
    password = 'test'
    I have 2 questions :
    (1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
    Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
    Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
    (2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
    I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Substitution for DB link in Interactive report

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use substitution strings for DB link in Interactive report in same way like it works in Classic reports (by choosing Generic column) or in any other way.
    Currently when i'm trying to put SQL like :
    select empno, empname from emp@&DB_LINK.
    I receiving the error •Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found)
    APEX 4.1, Oracle 11.2

    It is possible. We have an application that uses the same code set (pages) where the user can select which target instance will be used at run time.
    The trick is that the DB link substitution variable must contain the "@" character. So your query looks like:
    select ...
    from my_table&TARGET.
    where...
    &TARGET. must be something like "@my_database" .
    At compile time, &TARGET. will be null, and the table name can be resolved, if there really is a table, my_table in your parsing schema, or a vaild synonym.
    You can have a synonym available at "compile" time, when you save the page source. For example, the synonym my_table equates to my_table@your_database, which has to exist.
    There several other things that must be done, but this should get you started.

  • HT1725 When I click on a Movie I get the following "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu." Then get err = 11111

    iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie.  When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."

    Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
    It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
    Agh!
