Interactive Reports - Question about Downloading PDF, CSV, Email, etc

I recently installed the latest version of APEX. I deployed it as an EAR on Oracle WebLogic. I then created a simple
interactive report that has the search bar above the report. The downloads (emailing, pdf, etc) do not work after I
run the report.
What setup\configuration is required to get the emailing and downloading of the other files to work?
fyi: right now I have Oracle WebLogic, Oracle 10g, and APEX running locally on a XP based laptop.
Thank you in advance,
Wes

Hello Wes,
Sending a report as an email requires an SMTP server. You need to configure your instance settings to point to the SMTP server.

To download a report as a pdf, excel or RTF... you need to have a reporting engine installed. Check this link for details...

I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.

Hello question about certified pdf

Hello,
I have a question about certified pdf.
My client wants to have a certified pdf , when I make a high resolution PDF in CMYK is this oke for print media?
Or do I need to do somthing els??
Ton

As Dov says, it's very likely that what they actually mean is a PDF/X file - some flavors of which you can make from InDesign using the Export > PDF (Print) dialog presets, and some you can make using Acrobat Pro.
However it's very important to find out exactly what they want:
There a couple of versions of PDF/X (the older PDF/X-1a is very widely supported but can only cope with CMYK - the newer PDF/X-4 is more flexible and handles things like spot colors, but is often not printable on older hardware).
When exporting to CMYK you have to choose a color profile - and that will depend on the printer's hardware and proofing systems. You may have to choose exactly the right one, or they may be able to convert back from any profile - until you find out you're working in the dark.
Of course you also need to know the printer's rules about bleed, TAC, etc.

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 Reports - Actions Menu - Download option

The interactive report Actions Menu has many wonderful options. The action that my users will use the most is the Download. Is there any way to create a button or text link for the download, similar to what is shown in the classic report? The users want the Download button to show up on the bottom left side of the IR. I appreciate all comments and hope it will be a simple solution. Many thanks.

Hi,
Yes, it is easy like this
Create button in region position bottom left
specify URL target: f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:CSV::::
for CSV
and change correspondingly for PDF and so on
Check this page bottom: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=20351:1
if you are not sure
That it is.

Security question about opening PDFs in Reader as opposed to Standard or Professional

Our ITC wants us to open all downloaded PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 as opposed to Acrobat 7.0 Standard. We currently have both. We download a lot of PDFs and frequently need to Reduce File Size or extract pages, etc. I am hoping to upgrade my Acrobat 7.0 Standard to Professional 9.
Is there a valid security reason to always open first in Reader? Based on what I have read Acrobat Reader 9 and Professional 9 both had security risks and it is my understanding that a patch has been released today.
Is there a security risk still for Acrobat Professional 9 and is there a security risk for Acrobat Standard 7.0? Does requiring us to download, save and open PDFs in Reader 9 first make sense from a security standpoint?
Thanks very much for any input.

I don't remember any claims that Reader was safer than Acrobat. I use Acrobat exclusively and Adobe recommends against installing both due to conflicts (they use a lot of the same files). The biggest factor to be careful about is to not open any attachments or applications that may be built in. These can be put in the PDF and both Acrobat and Reader open such tools. I would tend to question the basis for the IT folks decision, particularly based on the Adobe recommendation and problems that it creates. At least that is my opinion.

Questions about my PDF portfolio.

I have only a few questions about a CD portfolio I am designing with Acrobat Professional (8.0)
There were a few things i couldn't figure out on my own.
I have about 15-20 pieces to show on CD, but there is no web design involved, so I couldn't use my own web site layout to just throw onto CD, out of that convenience.
1) How do you make sure the PDF will always opens at the size you want?
For example, whenever I set the document at actual size (100% view) I close and open the document, and it reopens at a random size, such as 317 percent.
WTH?
2) Where can I find examples of design portfolios that were designed in Acrobat? Everyone's portfolio is online these days, which is not my style.
3) Is it possible to make a 'thumbnail view' on the first PDF page (like you would see in a gallery on a website) that links from that page to any one of the 15-20 pieces?
Any advice is much appreciated.

I also found another stuipd thing in some Java games the phone still has the tilt sensor active in games and software.
Some games end up with graphic glitches forcing you to restart them, some display a message saying its unsupported and some support it partially (The number keys for navigation stay like they are in portrait which is of course messed up (The phone seems to change the navigation keys internally though so that does work)

Get ID of Interactive Report that Initiated Download Reqest

Hi there.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get Interactive Report ID (x01 on the POST Request I think) when a "Download" request is initiated?
I need to log this value into a custom table so any help on how to grab this would be very helpful.
Cheers
Duncs

Hmm. That's really useful but as far as I can see, it's geared towards only having 1 IR per page i.e.
SELECT region_id
INTO v_region_id
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ir
WHERE application_id = :app_id
AND page_id = :app_page_id;
When APEX 5 comes along, you can have more than 1 on a page and so any solution needs to be future proof which I am not too sure this one is.
Nice start though.
Cheers

Another Interactive Report Question

Hi guys!
Is it possible to create link which filters Interactive Report? I would like to create a report on one page which contains all the user saved interactive reports and then if another users clicks one, page changes to a page with an interactive report and the saved report opens?
With regards,
PsmakR

I'm referring to this help text in Advanced attributes - "If saved versions of the report exist, this specifies if they should be displayed as tabs. Turn tabs off if you want to create a separate page with a list of reports.". This is my goal - separate page with reports with on click page redicrection to saved report.
Im looking through help file and found this:
Report ID Item
This attribute enables you to send a user directly to a saved view of the report that they have saved. You specify an item whose value stores the report ID of the saved view. Report ID's can be retrieved from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view.
Has anyone played with this? Is it working?
Please help...

Filtering interactive report question

hi all,
i created an interactive report that uses a query like this..
SELECT i.issue_id "ID",
i.title "TITLE",
i.module "MODULE",
u1.last_name || ', ' || u1.first_name || ' ' || SUBSTR(u1.middle_name,   1,   1) || '.' "OWNER",
u2.last_name || ', ' || u2.first_name || ' ' || SUBSTR(u2.middle_name,   1,   1) || '.' "REPORTED BY",
i.report_date "DATE REPORTED",
u3.last_name || ', ' || u3.first_name || ' ' || SUBSTR(u3.middle_name,   1,   1) || '.' "SUBMITTER"
FROM issues i,
users u1,
users u2,
users u3
WHERE 1 = 1
AND i.owner = u1.user_id
AND i.reported_by = u2.user_id
AND i.submitter = u3.user_idi created an application item called APP_USERID and added a process on the 101 page to select the userid into :APP_USERID from users_table where username = :app_user.
i want to create a default filter based on the current user's user_id. if i change my query like this
WHERE 1 = 1
AND i.owner = u1.user_id
AND i.reported_by = u2.user_id
AND i.submitter = u3.user_id
AND i.owner = :APP_USERIDit works fine but if i wanted to view all records not just owned by the current user, i will have a problem.
can anyone suggest an approach on how i can solve this.
thanks.
regards,
allen

Hi Allen,
I tried some different things in the Interactive reports (make a default with :ITEM or &ITEM.), but they didn't work.
The only why I can think of now how to get it work is by adding in your query a DECODE or NVL
WHERE 1 = 1
AND i.owner = u1.user_id
AND i.reported_by = u2.user_id
AND i.submitter = u3.user_id
AND i.owner = NVL(:APP_USERID,i.owner)
Basically what it does, if the value of :APP_USERID is set it will use that, if that value is null it will return all records. So you would have a process or computation that sets the item APP_USERID to null when you hit something to get all records.

Dimitri

Interactive Report question-New to Apex

Hi, I am new to Apex..I request your help in solving a prob..
I am trying to create an interactive report(IR) which has more than 160 columns..It says the max limit is 60(or 64) columns..I remember when I was just starting to build the app it did allow me to create the report with 160+ columns but I didnt want to start with IR..My entire application has been built and this is the only thing that has to be done..Is there anyway to create an IR with 160+ columns now that I am almost finishing up the app..
(just a thot-may be create another app with the IR and then import that page-if you think that will work plz guide me on how to do it)
Regards,
R

Hi R,
I had the same thought; if it's possible to create a new appl with IR with 160+ columns then do so.
After creating a new appl go back to the original appl, open one of the pages, click the copy button on top of the page, click 'Page in another application', select the new appl with the IR, then select the page with IR ...... follow the steps
Kind regards
Mel

Interactive Report questions

Good Afternoon,
I converted a sql classic report to an interactive report. The classic report has parameters, that once selected fires a page process that inserts data into a table, which creates column headings for my report. The parameters still work in the interactive report, but I want the interactive report to handle the parameters instead.
Problems I can't figure out how to mimic this in the interactive report: example: the classic report could have up to 50 columns and change when a user selects a unit and displays that unit's report date as a column heading once the user hits the run report button. I wan the user to be able to do that using the IR filters, but I cannot find the actions menu items name to change the page process to fire when the user presses apply.
The parameters the user currently selects are Unit and enter a From and To Date. This is what I need to mimic in the IR. I am using a union query for this report. Is this even possible.
I am using apex 4.1, theme is Underlined from 3.2 and Oracle 11g.
Thanks,
Mary

Mary,
Not sure that I understood all of that but, I think, overall, you just want to be able to be able to submit the page (and thus fire your On Submit Page process) when the user clicks Apply? Is this right?
If so, you don't actually have to fire anything from the click of the Apply button. It turns out that, whenever the Apply button is clicked, the Refresh event is fired for your Interactive Report (IRR). However, what's different is that the IRR refresh is implemented with a "Partial Page Refresh" whereas your Classic Report was implemented using a Page submission, i.e. refreshing just one section versus refreshing the whole page.
So, all that is necessary is to do something "After Refresh" of the region.
There are lots of ways to do this. The easiest would be to:
1. Create a Dynamic Action that is fired After Refresh of your IRR. The "Action" is going to be JavaScript. Here's the code:
apex.submit('PROPERTY_SET'); 2. This causes the page to be submitted whenever the IRR is refreshed. By submitting the page, you will get your whole page refresh that you had before.
All of this said, I would use AJAX and do all of this without submitting the page but, that is a longer post. This should work for you as a quick solution.

Newbie question about downloading files

Is downloading extra updates, music, etc, risky for your phone, in regards to glitches? Does adding too many applications slow things down?

Anything can cause a glitch these days. Always do some research before downloading and installing something.
You can have many apps installed but, running all of them can slow it down a bit.
Make sure you close your apps when done.
Music should not affect it if stored on the memory card but when you play them it will scan all the files for changes and that might take a bit if you download a lot at once.
