Interactive Reports - Sysdate

Hello,
Playing with this excellent new feature I came across the next thing:
I have a simple query for my interactive report but I want to add a filter where I compare the date that has to be the same as the sysdate or higher.
This is perfectly possible but I now want to save the report and each time a user opens it I want the actual date (SYSDATE) to be compared in my filter. I can't put it in my where clause because the option to look in the past must still be available.
Does anyone have an idea where I should be looking?
Kind regards,
Oli

Oli,
I would create a filter in your default report settings like "DATE_COLUMN is in the next 5 years." (Substitute an appropriate range instead of "5 years"). This will always compare the dates in that column with SYSTIMESTAMP.
You could create the filter at runtime using the URL (see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/bldapp.htm#BABDHIDJ), or the APEX_UTIL.IR_FILTER procedure. But the first approach seems cleaner for your situation.

Get ROWIDs from Interactive Report

Hi,
I'm using an interactive report but I'd like to use the rows returned in a process so is it possible to get the rowsids that have been selected and make up the filtered report
Thanks Andy

A little trial and error using Andy ATD's suggestions gave me the following query, which I can use to recreate the selected ROWIDs:
SELECT /*c.interactive_report_id, report_id, application_user, report_name, */
CONDITION_COLUMN_NAME as col_name, CONDITION_OPERATOR as col_operator,
CONDITION_EXPRESSION as exp1, CONDITION_EXPRESSION2 as exp2,
CONDITION_ENABLED AS enabled,
LAST_UPDATED_ON as date_mod
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND C
WHERE c.application_id = :APP_ID
AND c.page_id = :APP_PAGE_ID
AND c.condition_type = 'Filter'
AND application_user = :APP_USER
AND condition_enabled = 'Yes'
and report_name is null -- Just show current working report
AND trunc(last_updated_on) = trunc(sysdate)
ORDER BY last_updated_on desc, report_id;
This gives results like:
COL_NAME     COL_OPERATOR     EXP1     EXP2     ENABLED     DATE_MOD
ASK_AMOUNT_CURRENT     between     2500     10000     Yes     03-DEC-08
PREF_CLASS_YEAR     =     1968     -      Yes     03-DEC-08

Interactive Report, Image display on download.

hi all
I have an interactive report with an image column displayed with a case statement (below)
CASE
WHEN APP.RENEWAL_DATE < SYSDATE
THEN <--img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#FNDCANCE.gif"-->
WHEN APP.RENEWAL_DATE > SYSDATE
THEN <--img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#Fndokay1.gif"-->
ELSE <--img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#wwv_small_help.gif"-->
END CRB_Valid,
when i download this for printing (as pdf / xls / rtf) i just get the <--img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#FNDCANCE.gif"--> text in the report column. i assume this is to do with the URL being outside of an APEX app but im no HTML boffin can anyone tell me how i reference the image so it shows up on the reports? or is there a better way of acheiving the above?
- Sol

Hi,
You can use v('IMAGE_PREFIX') in your SQL statement:
CASE
WHEN APP.RENEWAL_DATE < SYSDATE
THEN '<img src="' || v('IMAGE_PREFIX') || 'FNDCANCE.gif">'
WHEN APP.RENEWAL_DATE > SYSDATE
THEN '<img src="' || v('IMAGE_PREFIX') || 'Fndokay1.gif">'
ELSE '<img src="' || v('IMAGE_PREFIX') || 'wwv_small_help.gif">'
END CRB_Valid,Andy

Interactive Report Column Heading Filters using LIKE instead of =

Still on APEX 3.1
I have an inter active report with a column Like Below
select case when trunc(c.resp_contact_dt, 'MM') = trunc(sysdate, 'MM') or trunc(c.oth_contact_dt, 'MM') = trunc(sysdate, 'MM') then '<img src="/i/contact_2_green.png" alt="RESP A: ' || to_char(c.resp_attempt_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ' C:' || to_char(c.resp_contact_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') ||'
' || 'OTH A: ' || to_char(c.oth_attempt_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ' C:' || to_char(c.oth_contact_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || '">'
when trunc(c.resp_attempt_dt, 'MM') = trunc(sysdate, 'MM') or trunc(c.oth_attempt_dt, 'MM') = trunc(sysdate, 'MM') then '<img src="/i/contact_2_yellow.png" alt="RESP A: ' || to_char(c.resp_attempt_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ' C:' || to_char(c.resp_contact_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') ||'
' || 'OTH A: ' || to_char(c.oth_attempt_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ' C:' || to_char(c.oth_contact_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || '">'
else '<img src="/i/contact_1_red.png" alt="RESP A: ' || to_char(c.resp_attempt_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ' C:' || to_char(c.resp_contact_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') ||'
' || 'OTH A: ' || to_char(c.oth_attempt_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ' C:' || to_char(c.oth_contact_dt, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || '">' end as Contact,
This column header has an User defined LOV
select '%green%' d,
'<img src="/i/contact_2_green.png">' r from dual
Union select '%red%' d,
'<img src="/i/contact_1_red.png">' r from dual
union select '%yellow%' d,
'<img src="/i/contact_2_yellow.png">' r from dual
When user select my Red image from the column header link
the filter generates where contact = '%red%' This fails
Is there a way to generate the filter contact like '%red%' without the user having to change it to like.
Is this possible in 4.0?

I am assuming Because of the crickets either I am doing my SQL to incorrectly and there is a better way to return get a popup with a changing image into an interactive report
or
There is no way to do what I am trying

Interactive report search field with autocomplete , is it possible ?

Hi all,
As you know the APEX provides an in-built search for interactive reports . I would like to know if its possible to add autocomplete feature to this ?
Thanks & regards

Its nor working for me .
1) I created an textfiled item- P2_REPORT_SEARCH
2) added an interadctive report with the source as

Access download link in an Interactive Report

I've built an interactive report and one of the columns, File, is a download link. I assume the I can create a trigger to log when/who clicks on that link, because I have a trigger that runs when they first upload a file to the table that automatically grabs the SYSDATE and APP_USER. However, I don't know how to reference the download link. With the upload it is simply a button click, but the link is within the report and I can't seem to figure out how to interact with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I think you can not use database trigger when someone select from table.
I would create e.g. application process that handle loging and then "download" file.
This might help you create code

Does not appear possible to use date formatting in interactive reports

I've an interactive report displaying a column of data type = date. When populated with the result of "select (sysdate) from dual;", regardless of what data type conversion (to_char/to_date) or what time formatting is used (attempting DD-MON-YYYY HH:MIPM), the displayed time is always 12:00AM.
Thanks!
Paul

Can you post a small example of what you are trying to do on the hosted instance of APEX from Oracle? You are trying to get the following:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI PM') test_col FROM DUAL to format properly?
It returns: 18-NOV-2010 09:51 PM in a one column report for me..
Thank you,

Implement a normal insert process in an interactive report

Hello,
I want to implement a normal insert process for an interactive report. For which I have created an pl/sql anonymous block with the process. This process will be fired when I click the create button of the New record insert region.
insert into table_name(YR_MO,STATUS,UPDATED_DT,ID) values
(to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMM'),:P1_STATUS,sysdate,:P1_ID);
YR_MO is my primary key column in tha table.
For inserting purposes I have created a separate (New record insert) region, with the items P1_STATUS and P1_ID amd a create button.
Within the interactive report, i have a button Create_New when I click this button the New record insert region should open up and in that region, i have the items P1_STATUS,P1_ID.
My problem is when I click the Create_New button within the interactive report, the records are getting inserted. I dnon't understand what might be the problem, because the insert process should be fired when i click the create button within the New record insert region but it is firing when I click the create_new button.
Can anyone help me out with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton.

Does the insert process fire on a specific request only? And do the two buttons have different request values (names)?

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?

I assume I need to pass parameter values like P5_RAD but how do I relate it to:Select *

is it...
Select *

??Edit: The IR query changes to BLOG_FUNC(:P5_RAD) right?

Interactive report and default-filter

ahoj!
i have a question regarding interactive reports and default-filter for a date: is it possible to use the current date for the default-filter? apex need 'dd.MM.yyyy' for the filter... already tried to_date(sysdate, 'dd.MM.yyyy')
thx in advance,

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.

Showing current Date (Date Column) in the the filter of Interactive Reports

Hi,
I created a filter for the date column in my report (table column name is Process_Date). I have created a filter in the Interactive reports which populates the data from , a particular time perieod. (From_date - To_Date). How can I change the SQL query or the Report settings, so that when the user open a report it should poulate the data for the previous_day or sysdate-1 by default.
Thanks in advance for your help.

christine275 wrote:
... (this is a time worked by date and not always entered on the date worked)--
"Time" in Numbers is always "Time of Day", and is always part of a Date and Time value. "Amount of Time" is a Duration value, which may be displayed in a similar format to "Time of Day," but is a different type of value.
If you are entering the number of hours and minutes worked, format the column as Duration, set the units and the format in which you want to have the value appear.
The Date column will still contain a Date and Time value (Jan 1, 2011 00:00:00 in the cell shown in the example), but the "Time Worked" cells will contain only a Duration value.
Incidently, the Date in A2 was entered as "jan 1" (without the quotes). Numbers automatically adds the current year and the default time value, then displays the result in the closest format to what you've entered, or in the Date and Time format you have chosen.
The Duration value in B2 was entered as 3:15 (as displayed). Note that in the entry bar the duration is displayed as 3h 15m, probably to distinguish it from a similarly formatted (Date and) Time value.

Buttons in Interactive Reports

Hi,
I have created a IR with columns x,y,z where y and z should retrieve the sysdate time. I have created y and z columns with HTML expression
<input type="submit" value="Start"/> and <input type="submit" value="Stop"/>.
I try to do the following when the user clicks start(i.e y) column in the report the system date should get updated/inserted in the table same way to the stop (i.e z)column.
The following trigger can retrieve the system date value
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "START_TIME"
before insert
on SESSION_STEP
for each row
begin
:new.start_time := sysdate;
end;
Whether i need to work some where on column link on column attributes?
I haven't done this before so just got stucked.
Any help is appreciated.

Ideas for working around ORA-06502: character string buffer too small on Interactive report

Hello,
This is for Apex 4.2. We are trying to create an interactive report. The report is for something similar to a time tracking application. We are trying to concat a comments column while summing the hours. For example,
select TASK_NAME, sum(HOURS), to_char(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(E,E.COMMENTS || ' : ')).EXTRACT('//text()').getstringval()) USER_COMMENTS from ......
This query works fine if we are looking only at a 1 week window. The issue we are experiencing is that when we expand the range of the query to include data from 3 months, we hit ORA-06502 in the interactive report. If we remove this column from the Interactive report, then the report runs fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we might be able to work around this? I am guessing we are hitting the 32k limit on the report. Ideally we would just show the last X number of comments and then have a link to view all the comments
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Mike

ListAGG throws an ORA-01489 for varchar2 > 4000 bytes
OP has an ORA-06502 --> the IR is running into a 4k/32k limit.
quick solution: wrap USER_COMMENTS ListAGG in a substr( ...., 1, 4000)
Longer solution, use a subquery to modify the comments based on ROW_NUMBER() (ie after nth row, change it to NULL)
with
-- simulating data
t as (select task_id, sysdate - lv as date_entered
,round(dbms_random.value(1,24)) hours
, '-*' || lv || '.' || task_id || '*-' as user_comments
from ( select level as task_id from dual connect by level <=10 ), (select level lv from dual connect by level < 1000)
-- modify data
modified_data as (
select task_id, hours, date_entered
    ,case
      when row_number() over (partition by task_id order by date_entered desc) < 5
        then user_comments
      else null
     end USER_COMMENTS
    from t)
select task_id, sum(hours) total_hours,
listagg( user_comments ) within group (order by date_entered desc)
|| case when count(*) >= 5 then '! MORE COMMENTS !' else null end
    as user_comments
from modified_data

2 Bugs found in V4 Interactive report Date filter

I've noticed a couple of bugs when trying to create filter in an interactive report on a date column.
1) There is no "=" operator available for dates
2) There is no Year navigator for the date picker. This is essential for Date of Birth columns. I have to click the previous month button 12 times for each year...thats 720 times to get to 1950 !

Hi,
you could add new computation "Added This Week" (Format -> Compute), with Computation Expression:
case when sysdate- B < 7 then 'Y' else 'N' end
--B is my date column
Then you can add color highlight, with **Added This Week = Y
Additional you can even hide computed column (Action -> Select Columns)
You can check example on http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=60428:1

Apex logs and interactive reports

Hi everyone! This is my first post, so apologies if I sound like an idiot :). Anyway, my problem is as follows.
I'm on APEX version 4.0 (about to move to 4.1) and I'm trying to tie the APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG to the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view. So, here's my query:
SELECT
L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID,
R.INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID,
R.REPORT_NAME
FROM
APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG L,
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT R
WHERE
L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID IS NOT NULL
AND L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID = R.INTERACTIVE_REPORT_IDI don't get any returned values. The IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID column from APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG is, according to its description:
SELECT
comments
FROM
apex_dictionary
WHERE
apex_view_name like '%ACTIVITY%LOG%'
AND column_name = 'IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID';=> "Identifies the Saved Interactive Report ID foreign key to the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view"
and the INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID column from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT:
SELECT
comments
FROM
apex_dictionary
WHERE
apex_view_name = 'APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT'
AND column_name = 'INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID';=> "ID of the interactive report"
it seemed like the only ID column from that view that made any sense to join to. The return values from IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID looked like this:
9.67721361230999E15
9.90492074306116E15
[snip a few dozen rows]
and INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID looked very similar (6.62360604127979E15, 5.94051162387204E15, etc.). Am I missing something here?
At the end of the day, all I'm trying to do here is make a metadata report on reports. Specifically, I wanted a report that told me which saved reports people were accessing, and how often they were doing it. I thought this was the way to go about it, but it seems I'm mistaken. I would appreciate any help you guys could provide.
