Huge number of V2 updates // report RSM13005

Hi,
There's around 3000++ V2 update records found in one of the production system.
Is this normal?? What triggers such an alarming no of V2 update records? Any way to check this?
Also could it be related to the report RSM13005 which is not scheduled to run in the system?
Please advice. Thanks

Hi Castro,
It is able to see what transaction and function module name is created V1 and V2 updates, by using SM13 transaction

How to display more than 10 rows in an Auto Updating Report

I followed Carl Backstorm's example, http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:40:525653462286833::NO:RP:: to create a page with an auto update report/region. It's working fine (thanks, Carl) but I can't have the report display all rows (38 rows in total). Everytime I press the "Manual Refresh" button, it shows 10 (the first 10) rows only.
When the report displays at the first time, it shows all the rows (38 rows). Number of Rows and Maximum Row Count are set to 999999 and "No Pagination Selected" in the report region. But after I press the "Manual Refresh" button or specifiy an update time value (like 1 second) to have it auto update, then it only display the first 10 rows.
Is there a way to display more than 10 rows in an Auto Updating Report using Carl's example auto update report/page? Anyone can help? Thank you.

Yes, I changed it to:
function table_object(pId){
     this.id = pId;
     this.start_record = 1;          //optional
     this.num_record = 50; //optional
     this.num_record2 = 50;          //optional
I don't quite understand how these vaiables are used for though. Thanks.

Auto Updating Report

Hello.
I am using Apex 2.2.1 and am trying to get Carl Backstrom's wonderful Auto Updating Report to work.
In the Region Template he is using REGION_STATIC_ID. What is that? How do I supply this value? In Apex 3.x there is a field in which to enter a "Report Id" when creating a report. But in 2.x, I see no such field anywhere.
I went ahead and tried to create a report using his example. I made a copy of the Standard PPR template for Theme 10 (Sand). I then copied his code into my PPR copy. When I run my report, there is no refresh and also I am getting the text "#TOP_PAGINATION#" at the top of the report.
How does one get an Auto Updating report to work in Apex 2.2.1?
Thank you for any help.
Elie

Hi Carl.
Thanks very much for helping me out.
I've posted my Apex 2.2.1 app onto my workspace on OTN. Of course, this workspace is a 3.0.1 workspace, and so, I see the REGION_ID field in the report region. This field is missing in my 2.2.1 workspace.
Here is the link and credential info you'll need to see my report page.
workspace = play30
username = [email protected]
password = flowers
The relavent page is page 3 - "Errlog Report".
With respect to the way you're auto updating your report, I have a couple questions.
1) The #REGION_STATIC_ID# and #REGION_ID# values -- are these the same as the region_id obtained via the query:
SELECT region_id
FROM apex_application_page_regions
WHERE application_id = :app_id
AND page_id = :app_page_id
AND region_name = 'Errlog Report';
2) You're using AJAX to auto update a report region, and so, I was expecting to see some reference to the javascript function htmldb_get(). And yet I see you are not calling this function anywhere in the javascript you're using. Perhaps the functions you are using are calling htmldb_get() behind the scenes, I don't know.
We've not upgraded to 3.0.1 because we have so many Apex (2.x) apps being used in production (and this number is increasing as more users see what we've done) that we need to find a suitable time to upgrade without affecting users too much. We read in the Apex install notes that we need to make our database instance unavailable during the upgrade (an hour or so), and so, finding this hour of space is the main hurdle blocking our upgrade to 3.0.1.
Thanks, again, for any help/advice. It is much appreciated.

Updatable Report (MRU) Based on PL/SQL?

Hi APEX Community,
I recently started playing with Updateable Reports (MRUs). The functionality seems great but I can’t seem to find a place to write PL/SQL to restrict the records returned.
Usually I would use code (with report typr PL/SQL function returning SQL query) along the lines of:
declare
     q varchar2(4000);
     v number;
begin
     v := :P10_EMP_ID;
     q := 'select
     "PATIENT_ID",
     "EMP_ID",
     "CREATION_DATE",
     "CREATED_BY",
     "LAST_UPDATE_DATE",
     "LAST_UPDATE_BY"
     from PATIENT where "EMP_ID" = '''||v||'''';
     return q;
end;
However reports of type Updatable Report only except SQL not PL/SQL.
This seems to me quite simple functionality, am I missing something??
Thanks in Advance,
Immanuel

Marc: In this simple case, yes, we can easily use standard SQL with bind variables referring to session state.
But sometimes the table is very large and there are multiple filters needed to select the desired rows. Writing the query like
select ...
from t
where (:P1_FILTER1 is null or filter1=:P1_FILTER1)
and    (:P1_FILTER2 is null or filter2=:P1_FILTER2)
and ...make the page very slow to load.
It would be much more performant to write the query as a PL/SQL function returning SQL query like
declare
q long;
begin
q := select ... from t where 1=1 ';
if (:P1_FILTER1 is not null) then
    q := q||' and filter1=:P1_FILTER1';
end if;
if (:P1_FILTER2 is not null) then
    q := q||' and filter2=:P1_FILTER2';
end if;
return q;
end;and still be able to use the builtin MRU and Add Rows processes instead of writing our own.
Maybe this could be an enhancement for 3.0?

Updatable report without technical primary key

Hi,
I have a number of tables which need a standard updatable query report (MRU/MRD/MRI). However, these tables do not have a generated primary key, but the primary key is edited by the user.
I've tried generating a standard updatable report for this, however, this doesn't seem to work because it needs a generated primary key.
So I've tried to write the MRU process myself, which could work. However, how would I add a new row, because this isn't possible unless you use the standard updatable report!!... :S I can't help but think this must be me overlooking something. I can't imagine APEX cannot use standard updatable reports without a generated primary key!
Who can help?

The solution you're suggesting is the best in my oppinion as well, however, I would like to know if it's possible to resolve this issue in another way. Using technical key's is best practice, but it's not wrong if you don't... so why isn't there a way in APEX to handle this?
Maybe using the "Primary Key Source Type" as "Custom PL/SQL Function" in the "Tabular Form Element" is a possibility?
I will try to convince the customer (other IT department) to use a technical primary key and replace the user generated key by a unique constraint, but ... I just want to know :)

How to define maximum field width on an updatable report

I have an updatable report.
From a user's perspective, this is a form in my app. How can I define the maximum number of characters the user can enter into a field?
I tried entering the following into the report column's element attributes, but none of these worked:
width=10px
width:10px
max-width=10px
max-width:10px
I don't know why the Tabular Form Element section allows to define Element Width and Number of Rows, but not the maximum width.
Thanks
Boris

Hi Boris,
If your updateable report is created by using a wizard than its not.
You could use the apex_item.text api which allows for setting the max field width.

MX7 Updater report error

I have used the MX 7.01 updater to the version of
7,0,2,137072 . Since I have run this updater I not get a when I run
a report, error as follows:

I have rolled back on the production server, can anyone help
please? I assume the new updater would contain all the lastest
patch updates. Im not sure what to do now
Many Thanks

Showing all rows in updatable report

Hi everyone,
the users of my application have requested the option of showing all records, even though the updatable report has pagination turned on. How can this be achieved at run time?
Thanks a lot,
Henrik

By specifying a select list - some static LOV for the number of rows you want to show. You can enter the name of that item in your report properties - Number of Rows Item.

Slow due to huge number of tables

Hi,
unfortunately we have a really huge number of tables in the ( Advantage Server ) database.
About 18,000 + tables
Firing the acitveX preview thru RDC, or just running a preview in the designer slows down to a crawl.
Any hints? ( Besides get rid of that many tables )
Thanks
Oskar

Hi Oskar
The performance of a report is related to:
External factors:
1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
    ( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
2. Network traffics.
3. Local computer processor speed.
    ( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
4. The number of record returned
    ( If a SQL query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
Report design:
1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated.
    Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filtered down on the Server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
2. How many subreports the report contains and in section they are located.
Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100 records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
3. How many records will be returned to the report.
   Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports. Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report
off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
   When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
    If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't used when you view a report it only format the page requested. It won't format the whole report.
5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports.
SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you return only the desired data set.
      It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
12. Perform grouping on server
   This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It   will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.

Can a process update report Headings?

Does anyone know how to use a process to directly update Report Headings, perhaps using the HTMLDB API? I need dynamic headings determined at run time, but I cannot use the PL/SQL Headings Type because I have too many columns in the report (the delimited headings string exceeds HTMLDB's length limit).

500 columns!
I thought there was a limit of 60 columns on report regions.
In any case, there is also a limit on the total size of each row returned (regardless of number of columns). Are you not running into that limitation?
See the discussion at Re: Report with Tabs - Enhancement Request? , that might help you. Basically, break the 500 columns into groups that make sense and put each set of columns in a tab and flip between them using the techniques in that thread.
This way, each report has a more manageable number of columns and you can stay under the varchar2(4000) limit.
[Carl's example page is at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:55]
Hope this helps.

Add members to collection from sql updatable report.

I have created a collection based on a query (collection_name = 'EMP_COLLECTION' query = select name, ssn, dept from emp.
The collection is created perfectly.
Now, I have a page with a SQL-updatable Report based off of the collection
(select * from htmldb_collection where collection_name = 'EMP_COLLECTION'. The collection rows appear, and I am able to press an ADD button to add a row. I fill in the data using the key DEPT which a pull from a field stored on the page.
How can I reference the other fields in the collection...#NAME#, #SSN# (as they are not items on the page).
Please let me know if you need clarification on this question as I realize I am a bit out of my league in describing it....but could really use a tip.
Karen

Karen,
I recently began working on collections, so here are a few code snippets that may help you:
Create Collection (placed in a Before Header Page Process)
apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection
(p_collection_name => 'SOME_COLLECTION');
Initially populate a collection with default values (placed in a Before Header Page Process)
DECLARE
i number;
cntr number := 5; -- Sets number of default entries in collection
BEGIN
for i in 1..cntr loop
APEX_COLLECTION.ADD_MEMBER(
p_collection_name => 'SOME_COLLECTION',
p_c001 => 0, --Unique ID
p_c002 => :P10_ITEM_NM, -- Item Name
p_c003 => NULL, -- Description
p_c004 => sysdate, -- Date of Entry
end loop;
END;
each p_cXXX is a reference to a column in the collection.
View existing collection
SELECT SEQ_ID,
c001 ID,
c002 ITEM_NM,
c003 ITEM_DESC,
c004 ITEM_ENTRY_DATE,
from APEX_COLLECTIONS
where COLLECTION_NAME = 'SOME_COLLECTION'
You can also turn this into an editable collection by going into the report and individually changing the fields to text fields, dropdowns, etc.
To Update a collection (On Submit, After computations Page Process)
declare
c pls_integer := 0;
begin
for c1 in (
select seq_id from apex_collections
where collection_name = 'SOME_COLLECTION'
order by seq_id) loop
c := c+1;
--Item Name
apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'SOME_COLLECTION',
p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>2,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f01(c));
--Item Description
apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'SOME_COLLECTION',
p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>3,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f02(c));
--Item Entry Date
apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'SOME_COLLECTION',
p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>4,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f03(c));
end loop;
end;
In this example, the ID field is hidden to the users and populated using a sequence. The other fields are presented as text fields for Item Name and Item Description and a Date Picker for the Item Entry Date.
The key to understanding this is that the attribute number indicated by p_attr_number references the column in the COLLECTION containing the value you want to update/overwrite. The g_fXX tells which of the updatable columns in your report provide the values for the columns. Keep in mind that the number of updateable columns in your report is likely fewer than the total number of columns, so the numbering here starts from the first updatable column and goes down. If you rearrange the order of the columns in the display, it will not alter the field in the collection you reference (the attribute), but it WILL alter the g_fXX notation you use to get the value from.
Writing to the DB
declare
begin
for c1 in (select TO_NUMBER(c001) row_id, c002 itm_nm, c003 itm_desc,
to_date(c004,'DD/MM/YYYY') itm_dt from APEX_COLLECTIONS
where COLLECTION_NAME = 'SOME_COLLECTION') loop
insert into ITEMS (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME, ITEM_DESC, ITEM_DATE)
values (c1.row_id, c1.itm_nm, c1.itm_desc, c1.itm_dt);
end loop;
end;
Here, the trick is to reference the items using the [collection name].[attribute alias] syntax. This avoids the Oracle error "can't use a column".
If you want to reference items not on the page and put them into the collection, I recommend pre-populating them, since the user isn't going to be able to alter something they can't see anyway. I have used this successfully with both page items and application items.
Cheers.

Validate numeric in updatable report

What is the best way to handle a user placing a $ sign in a numeric field. The numeric field(unit_cost) exists in an updatable report. When a $ sign is entered, the following error occurs:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Found invalid number value, please verify number format., insert into "PURCHASEREQ_DEV"."PRM_REQ_ITEMS"
The options I have tried aren't working probably due to syntax. I am looking for the quickest and easiest way to do this. 1. Is there a way to intercept the oracle error and handle it gracefully for the end user? 2. I have attempted some javascript solutions to manipulate the field with no avail. 3. I am also aware of Denes example of validation on updateable reports.
Shelly

Dan,
The first example you provided was good and it worked. Of course I want my cake and eat it too.
It gave an error message on the same page (did not give a row by row breakdown). Also when comma's
were placed in the numeric field(which the oracle table doesn't complain about) I get the error. I would like to
be able to just check for $ signs. I tried this
DECLARE
l_error VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f02.COUNT
LOOP
IF instr(apex_application.g_f10 (i),'$') > 0
THEN
l_error :=
l_error
|| '</br>'
|| 'Row '
|| i
|| '** Please remove the $ sign**';
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN LTRIM (l_error, '</br>');
END;
This works, to some degree. It shows the error message at the top of the page and specifies which row the error occurred on , but when I scroll down to the updatable report region, it did not keep the values that had been entered. So I routed the error to a new page and that worked. When I closed the page, the data was still there with the $ sign waiting to be changed. It would be nice if I could keep it on the same page.
I also tried the second example you sent. I receive the error everytime, even when a valid number with no $ sign or comma is in the field.

Self Updating Report of Open Sales Orders (Maybe Crystal )

I want a self updating report of Open Sales Order. I want it to refresh constantly. I know that it could be an alarm but it would be executed every # minutes and dont want to. Any ideas ? I dont know Crystal Reports enough but is it posible ?

Hi ,
If I were you , I will not be crazy looking at my sales order in every 1 minutes ..I would train my users to check at least 15 minutes.
I understand what u are trying to do;you want that customer will see the latest open SO created ..but 15 minutes is good enough time .
I think you have to check if database size grows up big time ..so far no report has come to me from my clients for this set up .
make sure you are not saving an alert into database
If you are using multiple alerts , I will atleast monitor my database for a while to see i encounter performance issue ..
So far for one alert at every 15 minutes ..i think u should be fine ..
Hope this helps

Navigate to the first item in a updatable report

on my page i have a master/detail form. When a new detail - record is created, the cursor navigate to the first item on the page => it is the first item of the master! What I have to do, that the cursor navigate to the first item in the new detail-record ??
Thanks
Robert

Hi Andy,
thank you for your answer.
When the program start, I can not find the cursor. I think, I have a problem to reference the item in the updatable report. I wrote the following lines:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
alert('Vor Cursor Navigation');
first_field('#FKOM_RUFNR#');
</script>
(FKOM_RUFNR is a column of the select statement in the report!!)
A second problem: The cursor navigate to the field - first_field('FIELD_NAME') - every time. But the cursor should navigate to the field in the updatable report, if the button "ADD" in the region of the updatable report was clicked. If the page was displayed without clicking the ADD - button, the cursor should navigate to the first item in the master form ( like => Cursor focus: first item on the page). How can I do that ??
Thanks
Robert

Insert not working in updatable report

I have created an updatable report using the htmldb_item function with the facility to display an extra row (in order to create a new row).
I have then created a Create button that branches to the same page as the updatable reportn and a Branch.
I then created an after submit process that makes the insert of the data.
But apparently the process is not fired when I click the create button.
How do I have to do to fire a Submit on the page in order for my process to be run?
Thanks.

Just to amplify MtD's explanation, if you start to move a SINGLE clip and THEN hold down the Option key, the arrow will change form so that it has a 90 degree bend in it. Then when you release the clip in a new position by letting go of the mouse button, not only will it "insert" into the timeline at that position, but the gap in the timeline (where you pulled it from) will close.
It's really helpful when you are rearranging sound bites and don't want to have to manually close up the holes in the timeline. Unfortunately this only works when you are grabbing a single clip. If you do it with multiple clips it will still insert, but will leave an open hole in the timeline where you pulled the group from. Having Snapping (N) turned on is very helpful for this operation, by the way.
