Interactive reports - save option question

just a quick one -
im developing an application in the APEX 3.1 with an interactive report, standard functionality allows users to save there report view (but not the default view) as i understand.
However are these saved views public or private to the user who created them? also is there functionality or a work around to make them private?
Regards - Solomon Hill

Hello,
The saved views are for that user. You can easily test it by logging in with one user and in another browser with another user. Is that the way you want it to behave?
Regards,
Dimitri

Interactive Report - Save Default Filter not Saving

In Apex 3.2 I have an Interactive report were a Filter I applied won't save to the report.
I applied the Filter and saved it as the default report for all users, but when I leave the page and come back the filter its gone.
The same application on different pages has interactive report with filters applied to the default report and they all work fine, it's just this one report that the filter won't stay.
First time I've every had this issue.
Any ideas?
The filter is pretty simply, I have a column that has codes of D, E, G,... and I apply the filter for CODE != D.

Hi,
I've just been trying the "in the last" option and had no problems for any number that I entered. Are you just entering 1 into the box? What error do you get?
I've loaded the page with Debug switched on, and get:
select
       null as apxws_row_pk,
       "DATE_ID",
       "ATD_DATE",
       "CHECK",
       count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select
apex_item.checkbox(1, DATE_ID) "CHECK",
"DATE_ID",
"ATD_DATE"
from "#OWNER#"."ATD_DATES"
) r
where ("ATD_DATE" between systimestamp - (1 * :APXWS_EXPR_1) and systimestamp)
) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT):APXWS_EXPR_1 would contain the value 1 as that is what I've entered for the filter. My report's sql statement is just the innermost nested select statement, the rest has been added by the IR functionality and the filter.

Interactive report Sort option

Hi,
Is there any way to show "Null always last" as default in Null sorting option of sort window for all interactive reports in entire application/workspace/system.
I was trying to modify "apex_ns_3_1.js" but I think.....I am confused.
Please suggest the way if we could do this in safe manner.
Apex Version: Application Express 3.1.1.00.09
Current look of sort window:
      Column                   Direction                         Null sorting
1    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
2    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
3    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
4    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
5    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
6    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
Expected:
      Column                   Direction                         Null sorting
1    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
2    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
3    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
4    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
5    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
6    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last

Sachin,
Are you not able to add an order by clause to the main query and default the ordering there? Also, when you create an Interactive Report as a developer you should be able to set/save the settings for the default.

Interactive Report "Save As Default" not working for me on Hosted APEX

Created an app on Oracle's Hosted APEX site (apex.oracle.com) with an interactive report. Changed the column settings in the interactive report and went to "Save Report" and the "Save As" select list isn't displayed to allow me to "Save as Default". It's as if APEX isn't recognizing me as a Developer even though I'm logged in as my Admin Account. I even have a "developer" account that I created and the same problem happens there as well. Has anyone experienced this problem on apex.oracle.com? Thanks.

Will - The developer toolbar must be enabled in order for you to see those options, I believe.

Alv report save option

hi experts,
I have an executable program which displays alv output, my requirement is after the output is displayed in ultilities tab(drop down) we have saving option which is generally disabled.
how to make this enabled?
regards,
jayant

I guess you are talking about saving variants, aren't you?
For this you should use
data: ls_variant type disvariant.
ls_variant-report = sy-repid.
l_variant-variant = 'SOME_SAVED_VARIANT'.
CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->set_table_for_first_display
   EXPORTING
      i_save = 'A'   "this will enable save option
      is_variant = ls_variant "this will set default variant in layout

The symbol '=' is missing in interactive report compute option's keypad

Hi Friends,
I am having an interactive report. I am trying to give a compute option like CASE WHEN A = 10 THEN B + C ELSE B
END . All other sysmbols except *=* is found in the key pad. But if we put '=' symbol manually it is working fine. Is
there any option to show the *=* symbol in the key pad itself?
Thanks
TJ

Hi,
There is no option to add it

Interactive Reports - SQL Source Question

Background
Apex 3.1 is installed on Oracle 10g instance on local machine but all data is stored on a remote machine on Oracle 9 & 10 instances.
This data is also used by another piece of software, which directly manipulates the data.
The Apex Application that I am developing is to be used as a Quick Find/KPI Reporting tool and is setup to utilise DBLinks and Synonyms.
Within the remote data, we have a mapping table that contains user specific alias' for field names, which the users set using the other piece of software. There can be up to 5 mappings per table field each defined as LNG01, LNG02,etc.
In order to provide the same field Alias' in the Apex application, I have created a PL/SQL function to return the field alias and return a string value containing the final SQL.
Problem
In standard reports, this would work correctly as you could return a SQL statement in a string and it handled it with no problems.
However, due to Interactive Reports not supporting this, I have tried to find code to pass in the string SQL Statement to return a TABLE or PIPELINED datasource.
The string SQL statement will vary for each time it is used so the string SQL statement is effectively built as dynamic SQL
This causes as problem as I will never be able to define the ROWTYPE for a type TABLE variable as the field names will not be constant.
Can you tell me if there is any way to create a SQL source that could be used for the Interactive Report based on dynamic SQL?
Alternatively, if you can provide any alternatives to finding a solution I would be most grateful.
Apologies if this question has been posted before.
Thanks in advance.
Stuart

Stuart,
You could:
1) Create page items, one for each dynamic column header (e.g. P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER, etc).
2) Create a page process, to run when the page is loaded, that populates each item with the appropriate text. This can pull the column header text from your remote source.
3) Use a static query as your interactive report source:
    select objname,
           objuniqueid,
           objtypecode,
           objsitearea,
           objdesc,
           objdesc2,
           objlocationid,
           objcommission
      from cdoweb_om4) Edit the interactive report attributes -- use APEX substitution string syntax to reference the item values (e.g. "&P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER." without the quotes) instead of static column headers.
For more information on using substitution strings:

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.

Interactive Report Download Options

I am running APEX 3.2 on Fedora. I was going thru some of the interactive report tutorial samples available online. It seems that under the Report Attribute there are only 2 of the 4 download options available namely csv and pdf formats. From the tutorial instructions I had expected to see CSV, XLS, PDF, RTF formats? Please note I do have admin rights to the workspace and the only two checkbox options presented are CSV and PDF.
How can I enable support for excel (xls)? - wanted to add the other checkbox option for XLS
Also is there an download limit to the number of rows when downloading either csv or xls formats?
Thanks
bob

To download PDF/Excel, RTF style files you need to install a print server. For limited PDF's you can use Cocoon/FOP with a Tomcat server. For more advanced PDF's, Excel and RTF files you need to install BI Publisher. It is NOT free..

Interactive Report Download Link Question

I have an interactive report where I have outer joined to a table that contain blobs that I want the user to be able to click a link to download. I have a custom procedure that works with the download link. However I can't figure out how to get the download link to only appear for the records that actually have a file (since it is outer joined, only some of the records have a blob file associated with them).
Click this link to see a screenshot of the report example.
The existing column with the download link was created as a column link, where I specify the url (to my custom download proc). The problem as you can see is that it puts the download link in that column for every row, whether there really is a file to download or not. I'd rather only have a download link where there is a file to download for that record (see the My File column).
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

HOT TIP
If you are passing parameters into your download procedure in the URL then the users will be able to hack the URL and download information they shouldn't be able to. More worrying, if you have granted execute to public (which I think you have to) on the Procedure then information can be downloaded without the user being authenticated.
The solution is to have a page in the application with an On Load - Before Header process that calls the procedure, with some hidden items as parameters for the procedure. You can then evoke the procedure by branching to the page in the usual way and setting the page items in the URL. This will also allow you to add the additional Apex security features such as Session State Protection (Page requires a Checksum). Remember to revoke the execute privileges from Public.
Change the report link to:
SELECT some_columns,
NVL2(my_file,'Download',null) link
FROM your_table Then use the 'column link' region to create the link in the usual way and set the Link Text to #LINK#. If you have set the target page to require a Checksum this will then be added without having to code it into your sql.
I hope that makes some sense?

Variable or Substitution String in Interactive Report Filter

Background: I have an application that has a number of customized Interactive Reports where the Filter on the reports is set to a custom company name. When I install the application, I do not want to go through the reports and change the filter for the new company's name. The filters I need to change are all set by LOVs.
Question: Is there a way that I can do one of the following:
- associate a Filter with a Variable or Substitution String such that I can set that variable or string on login and then the user always sees the correct Filter displayed in the Interactive Report?
- or is there a code method to update a sql apex table behind the scenes to reset the Filter to the new value. So that I could run that after installation as part of a customization / set-up time?
System Info: 4.1.0.00.32
Thanks,
Stephen
I used the IR_FILTER function, and while it allowed for a new filter to be set. It did not save the filter after logout or for other users accessing the Primary report. I could not find a SAVE Interactive Report function. So, my question still stands on looking for a method to set and save Filters programatically.
Edited by: slsmith on Apr 19, 2012 8:07 PM

Hi,
I don't have access to an Apex 3 environment to check this, but I think that the Apex 4 Interactive Reports save the filters slightly differently and an attempt to mimic that functionality using IR conditions would fail.
The only alternative I can think of right now is to have an additional column that returns 0 or 1 - eg:
SELECT FIELD1,
FIELD2,
FIELD3,
CASE WHEN (FIELD1 IS NULL OR FIELD2 IS NULL OR FIELD3 IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END INCLUDE_NULLS
FROM YOURTABLEand then apply a filter to INCLUDE_NULLS = 1

Interactive report – column heading in multiple rows

I am using interactive report. My question to the expert/guru’s is: - How do I change column heading into multiple row with text wrap.
For example:- My column heading is
Is Employee Trained ? -------> (single row display)
I want to make it display like
Is Employee
Trained ? ------> (Multi row display)
Sagar

Hi,
What you could do is, disable the download csv function from IR (Interactive Report Attributes--> Search Bar-- Uncheck Download) and in the region header create a link and redirect it to another page which will have the csv report output.
e.g. <a href="#" onclick="javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:3::');"" >Download Report </a>
Here I am redirecting the link to Page 3. On Page 3 create a sql report with the same query and make report template to csv. Thanks,
Manish

Get Report_Id of Interactive Report

I am atempting to get the report id of the currently selected report in a specific page.
The problem is that here are several diferent views (SAVED REPORT) and i don't how how to get the currently selected in the session.
How can I do that?
Thanks
Pedro

The report is selected using the interactive report tabs from the previous saved reports.
I have been trying this:
Javascript & 'apexir_REPORT_ID'
but it fails because the value is always the same, the based_report_id of the Working directory, not the selected tab (interactive report save).
Any thougths??

Interactive report - unable to disable save report option

Hi,
I am using an interactive report and unable to disable "Save Report" option... Although the option is unchecked under "Include in Actions Menu" section... Others' are working fine, I just can't disable "Save Report" option...
Thanks in advance...

When you are logged in as both a Developer and End User, you will ALWAYS see the Save button, even if it is disabled. This is so that you can save the Defaults for an IR. Thus, if you click on the save option, you should only see one item - Save Report Defaults. You will not be able to save a custom report.
Your end-users are not logged in as developers, and thus, won't see any save icon at all. In fact - if you log out of APEX and run just your application, neither will you.
Thanks,

Apex 3.1. Interactive Report. Questions and Problems.

Hello!
First of all I'd like to say Interactive Report is a really really brilliant feature, it covers exactly that points which we were missing in previous releases of Apex. Only this single feature makes Apex 3.1 release most significant for us since may be HTML DB 1.6. So much much thanks!
So I have some questions about Interactive Report (IR):
1) About "Save Report" feature. It is possible there to save own version of report layout or overwright the default settings. There is also possibility to completelly disable this function. So the question is it possible to disable only the ability to overwright the default report but give the ability to save own reports. It would be reasonable since too smart or too dum users can break the default layout of report and break the work for other users which don't use this function at all. At the same time the possibility to save own reports
is absolutelly perfect
2) Search. I'm from Germany and we have some national non-english symbols. The IR can't perform seach correctly if we use words with such symbols. Example word "Bestätigt" is interpreted by IR as "BestÃ¤tigt". At the same time the words are correctly displayed in reports and in interface. We have correct NLS_LANG, we have imported the lang_de.sql , and our own self-made search on simple reports works ok. What's to do?
3) Charts in IR. Is there some data volume limits for Chart in IR ? sometimes we get the message "Loading XML...100%" during chart rendering and then happens nothing. In log file of Apache there is no any error messages...
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Glad to hear you're putting interactive reports to use, we put in a lot of time trying to get them right (at least for their first release).
1) The "Save As Default Report Settings" option is only available for Developers, so you can only see it if you already see the developer toolbar at the bottom of the page. Standard end-users can't see this, so they can't save over your default report settings.
2) That's right, the character set of the DAD needs to be AL32UTF8.
3) A maximum of 1000 chart points will be returned, but you should not get this error. Can you describe the columns you are charting and the chart settings?
- Marco
