Interactive Report, issue with backgroud color of Column Heading.

Hi,
I am using Theme -16
and there is a Interactive Report with the following columns Headings
Employee Name Employee No DOB
Now, the label of the first column is changed from Employee Name to Employee name.
The column heading is now displayed as follows.
Employee Employee No DOB
Name problem is when I add a break in any of the column heading..the background color of the column headings is different than the first one (little bit darker).
Why the background ground of the column heading is different in both these cases??.
Thanks,
Deepak

Why the background ground of the column heading is different in both these cases??.The report heading background is controlled by the CSS rule
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA th {
background: #4e4e4e;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
border-top: 1px #ccc solid;
border-bottom: 1px #aaa solid;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: center;
letter-spacing: 1;
font-size: 8pt;
background-image: url(../ws/report_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}This uses a [gradient image|http://apex.oracle.com/i/ws/report_bg.gif] that is repeated horizontally to provide a shaded background from light to dark grey. As the background image doesn't repeat vertically, when the height of the heading is more than the height of the image the gradient is replaced by the underlying background colour (#4e4e4e). This is what's happening when the break is inserted into the header text: the height of the heading increases, causing more of the darker area of the background image/underlying colour to be visible.

Interactive report : issue with french special characters

Hi,
We have many interactive reports and we can't use any french special characters in the filter clauses. For example, Montréal becomes montrÃ©al.
What parameters do we have to change to make it work?
Thanks.

I found the answer in this thread : Interactive Report Character Set Issue

Interactive report issue

Hello,
I have develop an APEX intereactive report but by default, the report does not display anything. In Order to display contents, I explicitly have to go to search bar, click on select columns and then display all columns to display it.
How can I by default, display entire content as soon as the page is run?
Thanks,
R

Hi,
This generally happens if you change the query after creating interactive report.
1) Select all the columns which u want to display , then click on the menu and select SAVE REPORT and save as default.
2) Copy the interactive report query.. delete the current report and re-create.

Interactive Report filtering with hidden item column names

I have created an Interactive Report and changed some of the default column headings by using hidden Items with appropriate title. However, when I look at the filter option in the "Gear" drop-down, the only column names which appear are the default ones. There are blank lines for the columns using hidden Items. Any suggestions for having the hidden item content appear in the filter column name list?
Thanks,
George

George,
What is it you're actually trying to do here? Maybe there's an easier way?
Hidden items aren't going to show up in the Column List.
I'm guessing you're trying to separate a long list of column names using '----------' or something like that? We're looking to do just that in our application, but obviously we don't want to users selecting these dummy entries. We tried using the IR column groups, but those make the list look even more cluttered IMHO. (Plus setting the sort order w/in the groups doesn't seem to affect the drop-down column lists, which seems counter-intuitive to me).
If anyone has other suggestions for breaking up the column list display, I could use something immediately (going into beta-test in 2 weeks!).
Thanks,
Stew

Interactive report: Can I exclude a particular column from single row view?

Hi -- I posted on this yesterday (Possible to exclude interactive report column from single row display?
a bit anxious for suggestions, I guess!
I've added a column with edit-link functionality to my interactive report query (that is, the link
is not attached to the database data... it's an additional column and shows an icon). It's also
in addition to the default single row view link. (We need both.)
Unfortunately, the Edit link column shows up in the single row view. I've pared it down as much
as I can: the label is empty, and the null value shows as "-". But an extra row with "-" is pretty
ugly. Is there a way to always, completely exclude this column from the single row view?
I know I could put the edit link on a data column, but:
1) I want the link to always be to the left of the data (and the user can re-order columns)
2) when the user doesn't have edit privileges, the link will need to be disabled or just not
be displayed, and I think that would be a problem if the link were on the data. (true?)
Thanks,
Carol

Please disregard this thread, and the one it refers back to. I see a flaw in the design of what I was attempting to do! Creating the link for Editing as a column means the user could inadvertently not display it, or move it, or... any number of problematic scenarios.
Thanks,
Carol

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can Actions Menu of Interactive Reports work with Custom Authentication?

My testing is leading my to believe that Actions Menu do not work with Custom Authentication (but only work with APEX Authentication) in APEX 3.1.2? If that's true then is there a work around to this?
Just to clarify, I've posted/asked this question twice before:
1) Re: Actions Menu in Interactive Reports does not sort, filter, select cols etc
2) Interactive Report actions don't work for users (i.e. for non-developers)
But I've come to believe this is the main problem. I just don't know how to resolve/work around this?
Thanks for any help.

I haven't setup a sample because my custom authentication is using LDAP authentication. I'm not sure how I can replicate that on the samples server?
I'm using LDAP authentication with a Page Sentry function. My further testing reveals that the Page Sentry function is setting the APEX variable user to NULL (ie blank) whenever there's any code in the Page Sentry function box. PL/SQL code as simple as
BEGIN return TRUE; END;
in the Page Sentry function box sets the "user" is set to <null>. When the Page sentry function box is left empty (no code specified) it sets the "user" properly after authentication against the specified LDAP directory.
What all this has to do with Interactive Reports...
It seems like when the user is NULL it messes-up Interactive Reports that are stored in the flows database. Although it shows the default report properly, but no runtime interactive actions (filtering, sorting, column break, etc.) work.
Can someone please correct or confirm this?
Thanks.

Interactive Report - aggregate with hide - bug or feature?

We are in the process of converting existing reports to Interactive Reports (IR), and adding a bunch of new ones. We ran into a roadblock when using IR with aggregates. To
reproduce, I created a test table with region, state, county, city and population columns. I created an interactive report, CONTROL BREAK on "Region", aggregate (SUM) on
population. The result looked like this.

Result #1:

Region: West
************
State County City Population
CA Orange County Irvine 100
CA Orange County Orange 200
CA Los Angeles Hollywood 300
CA Los Angeles Universal City 400
 Sum 1,000
When I clicked on City column, and chose to hide it, I expected the IR to resummarize the result to look like this:

Result #2:

Region: West
************
State County Population
CA Orange County 300
CA Los Angeles 700
 Sum 1,000
But what I saw was this:

Result #3:

Region: West
************
State County Population
CA Orange County 100
CA Orange County 200
CA Los Angeles 300
CA Los Angeles 400
 Sum 1,000
The data in the above result #3 is not presented the in way it should be for the users to comprehend.

In the non-interactive version, we display checkboxes for the users to show and hide the columns. If the column "City" is set by the user to "Hide", then we use the
condition on the column to hide the City column from the report, and use the query "SELECT ..., CASE WHEN :P10_SHOW_CITY = 'YES' THEN city ELSE NULL END As city, SUM
(population) FROM .. " to summarize the data. This displays results like the one shown in Result #2.

1. Shouldn't IR re-summarize the data to display results like I have shown in Result #2 when a column is hidden? We are able to achieve this with non-interactive version. Is this a
bug in IR?

2. Is there a way to get interactive report to display results like the way I have shown in Result #2?

3. Is there a way to retrieve the columns that are set to "HIDE" in IR so that we can modify our SQL to resummarize?

Script to reproduce:

Create table test_ir(
 region varchar2(50),
 state varchar2(50),
 county varchar2(50),
 City varchar2(50),
 population number(4))
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Orange County', 'Irvine', 100)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Orange County', 'Orange', 200)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Los Angeles', 'Hollywood', 300)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Los Angeles', 'Universal City', 400)
select region, state, county, city, population from test_ir 
Thanks. 
 
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
When you add a control break, we do not re-generate the query to do group by. We just do control breaks. In the current version of APEX, to achieve what you are trying to see, you need to create an Interactive report with group by clause. If you want to use a dynamic query, the solution I suggest will not work.
The good news is in APEX 4.0, we are working to include group by view to an Interactive Report. This will let you select group by columns and aggregate functions to get the Result #2 you are trying to get.
If you wish to see how this works, we will be able to show if you come to APEXposed 2008, October 29 - 30, at Chicago O'Hare Wyndham.

PL/SQL Interactive Report issues - Piped function or Collections

Hi,
I have a report where I either want to limit the return by date or return all. PL/SQL didn't work in the Interactive Report (is it available in 3.2?) then my second idea (2 reports; one for each option) didn't work as you can't have more than one IR on a page. Searching here I found people guiding others to here for collections and here for piped functions.
Ok I finally understood the collections thing (didn't realise that "function_returning_query" would be replaced with your code) but I'm not sure it can be used in my situation? I want it to be dependent upon a LOV on the page with my predicted code like:DECLARE
q VARCHAR2(30000);
BEGIN
q := 'select UPD_ID, PROJECT,DATABASE,REF,DESCRIP,STATUS,PERSON,
TO_CHAR(INS_DATE, ''HH24:MI DD-MON-YY'') AS INS_DATE
from TBL_ENV_LOG';
IF :P5_DAYS != 1337 THEN
q := q || ' where TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE >= TO_TIMESTAMP(SYSDATE - :P5_DAYS)';
END IF;
q := q || ' order by TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE desc';
return(q);
END;So the value of :P5_DAYS would need to go there somehow, can it be passed as a parameter?
Is there another way to do this? Making lots of hidden fields is annoying :/
Edit: I used a CASE statement for a column before, could I use that for entire queries?
Mike

Hi,
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION BLOG_FUNC RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
q VARCHAR2(30000);

from TBL_ENV_LOG';
IF :P5_DAYS != 1337 THEN
q := q || ' where TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE >= TO_TIMESTAMP(SYSDATE -' || :P5_RAD|| ')';
END IF;
q := q || ' order by TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE desc';
return(q);
END;Error at line 8: PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'P5_RAD'
I assume I need to pass parameter values like P5_RAD but how do I relate it to:Select *
From apex_collections
Where collection_name = ‘IR_TEST’;
is it...
Select *
From apex_collections(:P5_RAD)
Where collection_name = ‘IR_TEST’;
??Edit: The IR query changes to BLOG_FUNC(:P5_RAD) right?
Edit 2: Nope that doesn't work :/

FR Layout issue with large number of columns

Hi!
I'm developing a report in FR 11.1.1.3 with over 30 columns.
The issue is that when I run the report in web preview, the dropdown of dimension in page goes to the far right and disappears from the display.
If I reduce the number of the columns I don't have this problem.
I've already tried to maximize the workspace to the maximum without any result.
Can anyone help me to deal with reports with large numbers of columns?
Regards,
Luís
Edited by: luisguimaraes on 13-Mar-2012 06:48

IE8 could be the reason. According to the supported platform matrices (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/oracle-hyperion-epm-system-certific-2-128342.xls), check tab EPM System Basic Platform, row 70, in order IE8 to work, FR and Workspace should be patched.
FR Patch number: 9657652
Workspace Patch number: 9314073
Patches can be found on My Oracle Support. Just search for the patch number.

Interactive Reports using collections - How to control column headings

Hi,
I found a link in the forum somewhere that showed a step by step how to to use collections with Interactive Reports so you can dynamically build the SQL and also control the column headings. Does anyone know where the How-To is ??
If not, I know how to build the SQL dynamically but what is the best way to control the column headings.
Sometimes the report will have 17 columns and other times up to 30 columns.
Thank you, Bill

Hi Bill,
Without knowing more about the PL/SQL code, the underlying tables and the select statements used, it is difficult to say.
I would firstly check that I had indexes on the right column or combination of columns. One minute sounds a lot for a query to me, but that may be ok if the tables are very large and the PL/SQL has to do a fair bit to construct the output. You could also do an Explain Plan for any query to check to see if indexes are being used if they exist - this would also show up any part of a query that takes an inordinate amount of time.
I assume that the PL/SQL is only run once even if the page is reloaded multiple times? However, once the collection has been created, the report itself should be fairly quick as it should be just a simple select over the collection data. Switching on the debug mode should help identify which part is taking the time.

Interactive Report Performance With Conditional Link

Apex 3.2
I have a interactive report.
The underlying sql would return 127000 rows
The sql is
select
lde.ods_system,
lde.ldekey,
msg.sendersystem,
msg.messagetype,
msg.messageversion,
msg.msgseqnumber,
msg.alternatekey,
msg.crudmarker,
msg.clrbookdate,
msg.clrbookresult,
lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) button,
lde.ldekey||'.'||msg.alternatekey||'.'||msg.msgseqnumber udm_key
from
clr_esbmessageheader msg,
clr_adm_systemmessage adm,
udm_lde lde
where
adm.ldeid = lde.ldeid and
msg.sendersystem = adm.system and
msg.messagetype = adm.messagetype and
msg.messageversion = adm.messageversion and
msg.receiversystem = 'SCIPS'
order by msg.clrbookdate desc
This report only takes 1 second to display.
I need to add a conditional link to another page, so I used
case
when lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) = 'udf_distreceipt' then
'<a class="type" href="' || apex_util.prepare_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':52:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||':RIR'||':IR_MSG_KEY,P52_PG:'|| lde.ldekey||'.'|| msg.alternatekey ||'.'|| msg.msgseqnumber ||','|| 50, null, 'SESSION') || '"title="Go to udf_distreceipt Report">udf_distreceipt</a>'
else 'no link' end table_link
The sql seems to be ok, because the report accepted it, but selecting the new column and saving the report takes forever (over 2 mins)
Now the report takes over 2 minutes to run and I still need to add more conditions.
Have I coded the link incorrectly ?
Gus

Hi Gus,
Are you wanting to put the link in the query for a specific reason?
I had to do a similar thing in the past and just completed the column link section for the column.
Why not just have the following in the query:
case
when lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) = 'udf_distreceipt' then
udf_distreceipt
else null END table_link
Then do the linking using column link section:
You would specify your link text as #TABLE_LINK# which should then be conditionally displayed due to the case statement, then add in all the page item and values to pass across using a normal link column.
Thanks

Unfortunately not.
You may try to work around to have set of virtual chars and key figures; but resposne time will not be encouraging.

Interactive Report Issue - Control Brake for Group By

Hi all,
is it possible to create "Control Brake" for the Group By view of the interactive report?
I have the following IR with group by (Take a look at the GROUP BY View!!!): https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=2071:212
Now I would like disable the lines with repetitive values. The report should be the following:
CPU Type    CPU Speed    Count (CPU Types)
========== =========    =================
Celeron           366                    1

                  166                    1
                  200                    2
                 1200                    1

                  667                    1
.Is it possible to realize it with interactive reports?
