IR Report "Link" Attibute Custom URL Escape : (colon) Character

<h2>I am running Apex 4.0.2 and have an interactive report page 242 with a result set.</h2>
Scenario
In the "Report Attributes" "Link" settings I want to link the report to a 'Custom URL' target to take the user from this IR Report Page 242 to page 243 to a 'Single Record Data Entry Form'
I am setting the value of the custom url target as:
f?p=&APP_ID.:243:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:243:P243_NAME,P243_DESCRIPTION,P243_LOCATION:#SOURCE_NAME#,#DESCRIPTION#,#LOCATION#:The P243_LOCATION column, however, has a ':' colon and a '.' values in the database column itself with a value of *'jdbc:Host123.abcd'*
When the user clicks on the link the FULL location column is truncated before the ':' - OBVIOUSLY due to ':' being the paremeter separator column in apex
So, the #LOCATION# value on Page 242 IR Report containing a value of *'jdbc:Host123.abcd'* is trunced on the called page 243 as 'jdbc' only and truncated prior to the ':' value contained in the field.
Question:
HOW Can I build the above URL so that the ':' can be visible on the Page 243 form field? with the full value passed into the called page with a value of: *'jdbc:Host123.abcd'* ?
I tried the SYS.htf_esc(#LOCATION#) around the calling URL above, but doesn't work as expected.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You can not escape colons but you can pass commas in the url. Enclose the item value in \item_value\ to escape the "," in the item value . For colons, I would suggest creating a hidden field in the source report with SQL REPLACE function and replace all the colons with any other character like ||. Then you can use the same replace function on the target page to match with the new item value.
Hope it helps. Thanks.

How do I submit a Report link with a URL for one of the values

Hi -- I have a Report link on a column, and I want to set an item to one of the report columns which contains URL values (like "http://...."). If I do that, the URL ends up in the hyperlink and is not escaped, so the colon confuses things. How do I get the report column to be escaped?
Thanks

You can convert the colon to whatever you like in your select statement but you cannot supply a colon as part of an item value field in an f?p URL.

Hi Srinivas,
"i want to add only one particular table not all tables", you can do this using a Custom Transaction Code, the following are the steps to do it:
1) goto se93, give a unique name, say zxxx
2)Enter SE16 into the transaction field and select the flag the skip initial screen field:
3)On the lower portion of the screen, enter the following information:
Name of screen field: DATABROWSE-TABLENAME
Value: Enter the name of the table you want to browse with
4)save it.
5) Now add the transaction zxxx in th role, and assign it to the user.
With this, when user executes the transaction, he/she will be able to see only the perticular table you added.
"in PFCG what is the use of Exper mode for profile generation. what is the difference between general profile generation and expert mode profile generation".
Expert mode has 3 options:
1) Delete and recreate profile and authorizations---This will completely delete the old profile and add only the new once.
2) Edit old status----It will edit the old values
3) Read old status and merge with new data----This will add the new values aithout actually disturbing the old ones.
Hope it helps.
Please award points if it is useful.

Adding Custom "Report Links"

Does anyone know how to add custom "Report Links" to OBIEE? Right now the standard report links available are "Modify", "Refresh", "Printer Friendly", "Download", "Addd to Briefing Book", and "Copy". I want add another option called "Detailed Report" and have it appear along side all the other report links.
Is this possible?
-Joe

I am not aware of a "best practice" for doing exactly what you wish to do. If you have a large number of reports and you wish all to have a "summary" or "detail" that the user can choose, one way to have this functionality is to build a "table of contents" dashboard page composed of "link or image" objects that have, as titles, "Report1 -- Summary" and next to it "Report1 -- Detail" and have them all listed next to each other in column form.
The user can then right off choose if he/she wishes to see the summary version or detailed version of any report and when opening them up (in a new window) can decide whether to print, download, etc. This gives an overall view of all your reports so the user can see everything and at the same time choose between what version of the report he/she wants to view.
As far as "best practices" in general, I have this book which has some good tips:

Escape a colon character

I have created a link from one report to another. I want to set the value of an item in my target page (a text box). Problem is the values being derived from the first reports query contain colons(:) and commas (,)
for example I want to set the text field to a value like: 354S::G1:GR(Sulf), KO_G, Col_Wt
Is there a way to escape these characters?

Hi,
You can not escape colons but you can pass commas in the url. Enclose the item value in \item_value\ to escape the "," in the item value . For colons, I would suggest creating a hidden field in the source report with SQL REPLACE function and replace all the colons with any other character like ||.

Interactive Report Link Column HELP FROM GURUS requested

Hi,
I have an interactive report the data of which returns a file name for an image. I would like to use the Link Column (Link to Custom Target) option. The column in my underlying query has the image file name #ILINK#.
The Target URL is correctly formed using the #ILINK# bind variable http://myserver.mycompany.com/cgi-bin/oracle/img.cgi?img_file=#ILINK#;size=full
However, for the Link Icon (which I wanted to be a dynamic thumbnail of the linked image). The #ILINK# bind variable is not read. Is this because the Link Icon cannot be dynamically determined and must always be the same image?
I can get this working as a regular report using HTML expression, but I really wanted to harness the power of an interactive report.
Thanks

Hi,
in this case you could build the required html-tags in your SELECT statement, like this:
SELECT EMPNO
, ENAME
, '<a href="blablabla/index"><img src="'||ENAME||'.gif">'||ENAME||'</a>' AS ENAME_LINK
FROM EMP

Unexpected result on custom URL and drilldown-abled chart

hi, I have a custom URL
saw.dll?PortalGo&PortalPath=/users/administrator/_portal&Path=/shared/test_subject_area/drill_down_bar_chart&Action=Navigate&Options=mdfr&Done=Dashboard&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="tableA$".market&P3="japan"
and drill_down_bar_chart is a bar chart with drill down (market is the topest level)
lets say there are 2 level on the drill down, market and sub-market
(the chart is in the 3rd dashboard page)
I access the chart by the custom url, the bar chart is shown (at this moment, showing the measures per market)
at this moment, if I click "Return"(on the list of "Reports Link"), it returns to 3rd dashboard page, this is expected
however, if I click on one of markets instead of clicking "Return", the measures per sub-markets of market "japan" is shown.
if I click "Return" at this moment, it returns to 1st dashboard page, this is not expected.
how to solve this problem?
thanks you very much

Hello,
Yes, it behaves like you said,
the work around i done is:
written a back button HTML Code in the target report and name the button as return or Back
Code is:
*<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="GoBack" onClick="history.go(-1);">*
Paste this code in static or narrative view with * Contains HTML Markup* check box enabled.
Add this view in the bottom of report before your footer and align to left.
save this report and try navigating from first report. But to return use the button we created.
Hope it helps, but not sure your client will accept this or not... :-)

How to open reports in same portlet when clicked on item report links in menu portlet

Hi,
I am not sure what forum I should ask this question. Anyway, I am trying in the content areas forum.
Let me explain what I trying to do.
I have reports links as menu item links in a menu. I have published this menu to portal and added it to a page. I can now see the report links. If I now click on the report link, it opens the report in a whole window. How do I open the report in the same portlet or if this is not possible, how do I open this in a different portlet on the same page ?
thanks for helping.

Hi,
This is part of JPDK. You will have to install it. Which version of portal are you using? You can also try this out using
URL portlet which is available with webview in 309.

Hi Jon,
Just as BI_group and Vishal said, there are two methods to open another report from one report in Reporting Services. We can enable an action with “Go to report” or “Go to URL” option to achieve the requirement. For more details, please see:
Method1: Go to report
Right-click a report item to open the properties dialog in main report, click Action in the left pane.
Enable Go to report action, then select the main report name in the drop-down list.
If we want to pass some parameters from main report to subreport, we can Add a parameter as below:
Select ID (a parameter name from subreport) in the drop-down list of Name, and select [ID] (a field name from main report) in the drop-down list of Value.
Method2: Go to URL
Right-click a report item to open the properties dialog in main report, click Action in the left pane.
Enable Go to URL action, the URL below is for your reference:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://server_name/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2ffolder_name%2fsubreport_name&rs:Command=Render&parameter_name="&Fields!field_name.Value &"'))"
For more information about Drillthrough, Drilldown, Subreports, and Nested Data Regions (Report Builder and SSRS), please refer to the following document:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Call a pl/sql stored procedure from a report link

Hello everyone:
I have a report with a link in a column, which takes you to another page and passes values to that page, but also need the link, run a stored procedure before going to the other page.
In the Forum I found cases similar to this, but none of the examples is clear to me how I do this. It seems that the target of the link should be URL, and also I have to call the stored procedure with a javascript function.
My questions are:
- Is this the best method to make what I need?
- How should be the syntax of the link that takes me to another page and run the "stored procedure"
- How and where I put the function "javascript" to run the "stored procedure"
BDD: Oracle 11 g
Apex version 4.1
Best regards
Gerard

Hi,
Change the link to call an apex.submit process. (javascript).
Edit:
I've set up a basic example.
Region 1 (just so you can see the value getting set):
select :P27_HIDDEN item_Value
from dual
Region 2:
select rownum id, dbms_random.string('U', 12) sss
from dual
connect by level <= 20
item attributes for ID:
Target: URL
URL: javascript:apex.submit({request:'NAVIGATE', set:{'P27_HIDDEN':#ID#}});
(P27_HIDDEN is just a hidden item i created)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=54920:27
Edit2:
In your case, then you can just have a page process based on conditions request = expression1, expression1: NAVIGATE..... then a page branch to go to the desired page, also with the same conditions
Edit3:
Im not sure what examples you are referring to , as you didn't supply any links; but you mention calling the stored procedure from javascript, so would likely involve some AJAX, but imo not necessary.

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.
