Interactive Report Subscriptions

Apex Version: 4.1.1.00.23
Internet Explorer 7
Oracle Database Version 10.2
Server Linux
I have not seen a viable solution to this issue of subscriptions being wiped out when exporting from a development environment to a production environment. I understand internal ids will be different and I shouldn't have to write a bunch of code to try to offset the numbers as I have seen in some posts.
When exporting I am exporting the entire application.
Under the export preferences I am setting all to Yes. Still no subscriptions.
I have even tried to do an export/import of the wwv_flow_worksheet_notify and get error: Parent key not found. I don't know what parent key is failing.
I have looked at the export file searching for wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_notify. It is not there.
I need a solution ASAP. I have to manually recreate each subscription for the end user, that is if I remember to capture it before I import it!
Thanks so much,
Becky

Hello Becky,
While exporting from DEV you should set NO for following options
<li> Export Private Interactive Reports
<li> Export Interactive Report Subscriptions
Because, Private Reports and Subscriptions will be made by end-users and they will be made on Prod systems. So if you export them from DEV and import into PROD, then all private reports and subscriptions will be lost on PROD.

Hari

Interactive Report Subscription emailing different dataset

Hi All,
I am having a bit of strange problem with subscriptions email on an interactive report.
I have the report to email users every morning from an interactive report. The dataset that is emailed is not the same as the report on the interactive report screen. The variance between what is emailed and what is on the report screen page is quite large and it is not an issue of the data changing between the email fist going out and the report screen being viewed.
Also, is there a way for a user to 'unsubscribe' from a report?
Any help would be great,
Thanks

How to send a conditional email with interactive report subscription

Hi,
i have an interactive report with subscription.
I would like to send an email with the attachment only when the query returns one or more records.
How to to this?
Apex 4.0.2
Thanks in advance

Well, to understand your requirements can I ask this:
You said earlier you want a report sent whenever records that meet a criteria exist, correct? So you want the application to query for a condition, and when that condition occurs (a row with primary Key = X, a select COUNT(1) for rows with column X returns a result of 1 or more)
Then you would schedule a batch job:
BEGIN
-- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'Send_Email_Procedure',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'BEGIN Test_For_COND_SEND(); END;',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
end_date => NULL,
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
This would in theory run hourly and run your test_for_cond_Send process, in which you would test for the condition and send an e-mail if it was found that would contain the results from your query/report.

Interactive report : subscription problem

I had set subscription for an interactive report. The frequency is Daily and there is no ending day.
The report is received daily on my mail in html format, but it is blank (2.4 KB). Only search field & search button are displayed.
There are not parameters to generate the report.
Please suggest the solution.

Hi Christina,
i have a smilar problem with Email subscriptions, i don't use items, but i use collections in the where clause!
Example:
select * from PUMA_MMRDB_GSM_LB a
where
case
when (select C001 from APEX_COLLECTIONS where COLLECTION_NAME = 'TMP_SELECTION') = 'BRD' then 1
when (select C001 from APEX_COLLECTIONS where COLLECTION_NAME = 'TMP_SELECTION') = 'REGION' and (a.Region in (select C001 FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'REGION_M')) then 1
when (select C001 from APEX_COLLECTIONS where COLLECTION_NAME = 'TMP_SELECTION') = 'NL' and (a.NL in (select C001 FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'NLK')) then 1
end = 1
Sometimes i see the Errror ORA-01722 in the 'error message' field of the apex_application_page_ir_sub view. I don't know if this related to the above.
Can you point me in the right direction?
thanks,
Wolfgang

Interactive Report Subscription - missing search functionality

Hi,
when receiving the output of a report subscription in Apex 4.1.1, the search Box is missing, only the Text string 'Suche:' is displayed.
If i download the report as Email or html, the search box is there and usable.
Maybe i'm wrong, but this was not under Apex 4.0.2.
Has anyone the same disfunction?
regards,
Wolfgang

Users Email Subscriptions of Interactive Reports, getting deleted

Hi,
We have apex 4.0.2 version instances installed in DEV, Test, Prod environments.
We use the same app id across all the 3 environments
eg: App no 200 is used in all the 3 environments.
The users subscriptions for the interactive reports are getting deleted,
when the App from Dev is moved to Test or Prod environments.
Any ideas or suggestions ?
Thnx

Hi,
I could able to get back the users subscriptions in the target environment with below procedure.
In my scenariou i am moving the app 200 from Dev to Test environment.
Step1: Export the app 200 from Test environment by selecting Export interactive Report Subscriptions to Yes in Export Preferences tab
Step2: Extract carefully the wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_notify code +(you will see more than 1 statements, if there are multiple users subscriptions)+ from the app 200.sql .
Step3: Extract wwv_flow.g_flow_id and wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset initializer statements.
Example below:
In my scenariou i was testing with 1 interactive report user subscription
begin
wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,200);
wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_notify (
p_id => 3351032625694541+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
p_flow_id => wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
p_worksheet_id => 11045125897667191+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
p_report_id => 11046318922668871+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
p_owner => 'abc.def',
p_email_subject => 'Primary Report test',
p_email_address => '[email protected]',
p_start_date => '2012.09.07.01:00:00',
p_notify_interval => 'D');
end;
Step4: Import the app 200 from Development environment to Testing environment.
Step5: Execute the above Example pl/sql in the Test environment sql prompt.
Run the app in Test environment, You will see your interactive reports user subscription to the associated pages.
Note: This procedure applies only when you have app id same across all the enviornments

Subscriptions - prevent from sending when no data in interactive report?

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to prevent a notification from being sent if there is no data in the interactive report on the day specified in the subscription?
eg. I receive a private report Isabelle's Open Issues every Friday, but last Friday there were no open issues.
We have another request for a weekly subscription but the requirement is that the report should only be sent when there are open issues.
Thank you for advising.
Kind regards,
Isabelle Fallon

I think there is no condition like that.

Interactive Filter Saved Report Subscription by Email

Hi
I did Interactive filter and saved a report. The interactive filter is performed between start and end date with a location details. I would like to have a custom header with title like this
Data is obtained at Location Name from <start> and <end> date. This saved report is send to few people every day.
The date, location name are present in the result set of the report. What is the best way to achieve this custom header in saved reports?
Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj,
You don't be able to do that with he current apex subscription functionality, however you could write a simple plslq block to send the formatted email which looks same as interactive report.
Look at this thread and the links inside them

Characterset of atachment in subscription email for interactive report

Hi,
I really like the subscription option on interactive reports. However we have an issue with the attachment.
In the attachment it says : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
But that leaves me with � characters where an ë should be. If I override the character encoding setting of my browser I do get the right characters.
I suspect the characterencoding is WE8MSWIN1252 wich is my database characterset.
What setting must I change to either have the attachment be really encoded in utf8 or have an alternative charset setting in the html.
We are using Oracle 11g and Apex 4.0.1
Thanks,
Neil

Sorry for the type (see above ;) ),
There is no way to change the characterset used by APEX, at least none that would be configurable in APEX.
In both FF 3.6 and IE 7 I get proper characters when downloading the HTML, but improper encoding in the mail attached report.
When looking into the source (raw hex, so there's definetly no editor-awareness of any charset), I see proper encoding in the HTML Download, but no encoding in the HTML-attachment, which results in the improper display in the browser. However, when I let my webmailer view the attachment, everything looks fine. I assume, the problem is related to mail encoding. I wonder how my webmailer was abled to fix that, but not fix the file I downloaded...

Send E-mail from Interactive Report, mulitple e-mail addresses

I am using Apex 4.1. I would like to enter multiple e-mail addresses in the TO field of the download, e-mail section of an interactive report. To be clear when I click on download from the actions menu of an interactive report and choose E-mail, you are presented with the form that has To, CC, BCC, etc. I would like to enter multiple e-mail addresses in the TO text box. I have tried separating them with semi-colons, commas, and even spaces. Whenever I enter two addresses, I do not get any mail. How can I address an interactive report to multiple e-mail addresses. Thank you so much.

Hi,
We misread the documentation and the Actions > Download > Email option does not support multiple email addresses, I have tried it on my workspace and it is throwing ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 553 5.1.3 which is because of unsupported multiple emails.
In this doc says that it is allowed to use multiple emails under
Actions > Subscription (and this is entirely different from above)

Quick Interactive Report Question

I am testing Apex 4.1 on the oracle webisite
In order to use the download options of pdf or rtf on an interactive report, do we need BI Publisher.
I have tested the download email option and it seems to work, but with the subscription option, but I am not recieving an email.
Gus

Gus,
If you want the pdf/rtf in custom format then you need BI Publisher, if just downloading i dont think so.
Subscription:
Make sure you enable subscription under
Report Attributes->SearchBar->Subscription
then under Add Subscription make sure you fill in all the fields, i use this feature for almost all my applications, it sure does work.

Interactive report define "from" in email download

I heard that the latest apex 4.2.4 has future in Interactive Report Define "from" address Subscription in Email Download
I installed apex 4.2.4 on oracle 11.1.0.7 windows(32 bit);
I'm using Apex listener 2.0 deployed to weblogic 11g;
I still don't see this option in interactive report;
can sombody help me?
Thanks

David,
The comma is the operational separator for the 'IN' clause, so you are right, the filter sees each part of the name as a parameter. Just use something else as the separator (like a space) and you will be good to go.
Keep Smiling,
Bob R

Interactive report - Save as html, possible to save file in database?

Hi
I am in a situation where I want the output of a interactive report in HTML format, but I do not wan't to download the files to my computer. I want to automate my process to display the report and save the file to database and to be attached to a email from Apex in a later stage.
Is this possible at all? tried different aproaches with saving data to clob and converting to blob, but it all look horrible for the end user.
Sincerely
Johnny

Check if the subscription feature or download -> email available in apex 4.0 serves your purpose.
