KE31 - Copying a report with newly defined form

Hi ,
While creating a new profitability report(Report A) by copying an existing report (Report B with Form B) with the newly defined FORM(Form A) , the system is creating the new report(Report A) with the form (Form B) from the copied report.
How to create the report by copying another report (to get Report A with Form A)?
Thanks,
Prabha

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I created form A and used KE31 for creating report A by copying report B.
While doing so, the report A got the form B not the form A. Though I assigned the form A while creating the report A (with copying report B), the report A got Form B.
How to create the report A with form A by copying report B?
Thanks,
Prabha

Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

Hi,
I tried in building a report as shown in the example in OTN under reports in the url
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
<select ...>
<rw:foreach>
<option value="<rw:field .../>">
</rw:foreach>
</select>
to populate a select list.

Include the COPY TO Option in User Define form

Hi Experts
How can we include the COPY TO Option in User Define form
Thanks In Advance

Hi,
In SAP B1 i think there is no default functionality for copy to in user defined form. As Parminder said you can use the control button combo and write your own method for populating data.

Using Run_Report_Object() To Call Reports with a Parameter Form

Hi
I have successfully migrated a version 5 application to 10g but, I'm having a particular issue with reports run from a menu.
The report has 3 user parameters and they previously worked with a client server parameter form.
How do I pass the parameters from the report to the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in the pl/sql editor in the menu ?
In my other reports I have used a :block.item bind variables but in this case there is no datablock involved.
Any help with the correct syntax will help.

Dear Friend,
You can use following code to run a report from "Forms10g" using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. Directly copy below code to your forms10g and make appropriate changes. In the code, "Manish" is the name of report server running on your application server. To start report server u can run this command on command prompt on your application server.
rwserver server=<server_name>
This command will start report server. In below code i have a text box called "ADDRESS_CODE" which i am passing as a parameter to report which conatains a parameter called "SUBCODE". This is a tested code and works fine in Forms10g DS.
declare
     cnt number(3);
     report_id report_object;
     REPORTSERVERJOB VARCHAR2(100);
     VJOBID VARCHAR2(100);
     REPORTSERVER VARCHAR2(50) := 'MANISH';
     V_URL2 VARCHAR2(500);
     V_URL VARCHAR2(100);
     PARA PARAMLIST ;
begin
     PARA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('INPUT1');
     --'ADDRESS_BOOK' IS A REPORT OBJECT DEFINED
     REPORT_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ADDRESS_BOOK');
     --FOLLOWING PARAMETERS ARE MANDATORY PARAMETERS TO SET REPORT OBJECT
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'HTMLCSS');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, REPORTSERVER);
--TO SEND PARAMETERS TO REPORT ADD FOLLOWING CODE, (:ADDRESS_CODE IS A TEXT ITEM)
ADD_PARAMETER(PARA,'SUBCODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:ADDRESS_CODE);
--RUN REPORT OBJECT TO FETCH JOBID
REPORTSERVERJOB := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(REPORT_ID,PARA);
--VJOBID IS JOBID THAT IS SET AT RUNTIME BY REPORT SERVER
vjobID := substr(ReportServerJob,length(reportserver)+2,length(ReportServerJob));
v_url := '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjobID||'?server='||reportserver;
     Web.Show_Document(v_url,'_blank');
     DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PARA);
end;

Add new report with a checkbox form

I’m trying to create a list with check boxes to add “contacts to a event”.
I have my table contacts and events, when I create a event I should invite my contacts. I want to create a list with all my contacts with a checkbox option and populate a new table with all the assistance.
I’m searching but I can’t find info.
I hope you have some time thank you
Rodrigo

You can create a checkbox in your list with APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX. There are quite a few examples to be found when you google, e.g.
http://www.apex-blog.com/oracle-apex/adding-a-checkbox-to-your-report-apex_item-tutorial-30.html
One time I just created a default tabular form with DELETE functionality, so the checkboxes were already in place. I just created another process instead of the normal MRU process. Went pretty well actually.

Label report with user defined input -

I am trying to make a report that will print out the data onto avery labels 5163(which is 2 across u2013 5down =total 10 labels per sheet) with my information. The program already sets your boundaries for the labels so thatu2019s not a issue.
My current select statement works somewhat : if I enter 1 inventory.itemnum and whatever qty I want it prints fine. However when I enter multiple inventory.itemnums it prints each one of those itemnums at whatever qty I enter in the second parameter. So say I enter 2 itemnums and enter qty 2 to print- I get 2 labels of each item num. Currently I this format I have the second parameter set to NOT allow multiple fields u2013 however when I change this to allow my report fails u2013 please see my info and layout stuff below
Here is what I have:
INVENTORY.ITEMNUM} = {?Control Id:} and
{Sheet1_.Column1} <= {?number of labels}
Inventory.itemnum u2013field from database
{?Control Id:}---parameter 1
{?number of labels}---parameter 2
{Sheet1_.Column1}----excel table brought in as secondary database to serve as count feature for report u2013 currently set at 20 but can change from 20 to 10 or higher- whatever qty I want. The most labels I will need for any 1 item is 24 u2013 but I can print 2 sheets of 10 then 1 of 4 if we reduce it to qty 10 in the table.
I have 2 parameters that prompt for data
Parameter 1: it prompts for .itemnum (I have this parameter set to allow multiple inputs of inventory.itemnum)
Parameter 2: it prompts for qty of labels needed. currently not set to allow multiple numbers as I get a failure when I change my parameter to this.
As my info above sits I can enter 1 random inventory.itemnum (parameter 1) and a qty (parameter 2)(1-20 u2013 which is set by a table I built in excel 1-20 u2013 above which is sheet1_.column1)
What I want to be able to do is
1.     (Parameter 1 here)Enter inventory.itemnums from random qtyu2019s of 1-10 at any given input time from user prompt in parameter
2.     (parameter 2 here)Print label of qtys ranging from 1 label per each item to as many as 10 labels per item
a.     For example: I enter
b.     Parameter 1:
c.     Xitem1.itemnum
d.     Xitem2.itemnum
e.     Xitem3.itemnum
f.     Parameter 2:
g.     Qty 1- is the amount of labels needed for xitem1(from parameter 1)
h.     Qty 3- is the amount of labels needed for xitem2(u201C u201D)
i.     Qty 6- is the amount of labels needed for xitem3(u201C u201C)
3.     I need the qtys in parameter 2(labels to print) to work with the inventory.itemnums as they are entered in parameter 1.
I have tried using arrays but they force me to use the same amount of data that I have clauses. Which does not work because I have varying amounts of labels needed at different time-If I have 2 labels and have more clauses than this the report fails. I will not always have 2 or 3 labels to make maybe more maybe less.
Here is a example of what I was trying with arrays:
{field.xitem}=(?item.num)[1] and
{?qty}[1]>={numbertable.number})or
{field.xitem}=(?item.num)[2] and
{?qty}[2]>={numbertable.number})or etc.,etcu2026u2026
This would force me to input as many item.itemnums and qty labels as there are arrays or the report would fail.

qty 2 - box-10 - going into inventory 20 - I need 20 labels printed vs just 2 - since the labels to print are directly tied to the requested order qty - i need to add the exceptions because some I order with conversions that I will not convert and I just want to add them list "one of" in the selection formula

Working with user-defined forms in SBO

Hi, newby here.
What is the right way to work with userdefined-forms in SBO?
My add-on adds a button to a system-form (when it is loaded).
User presses the new button, and the following code is executed:
- LoadFromXML("MyForm.xml") ( like the sample code)
- oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("SBOFormEditor_11")
- oForm.visible = true
The user-form is displayed
User presses the OK button on the new user-form, which triggers
- oForm.close()
This works. But a possible disadvantage may be that the form is loaded from XML, each time the user clicks the new button on the system-form.
I would prefer to load the form once, upon starting the add-on. And then display or hide it, by simply turning the oForm.visible-switch on and off. So, when user clicks the OK button: oForm.visible = false.
The problem here is that when the user clicks the close-form button (X), the new form seems to be gone/destroyed/removed.
So, when the user clicks the new button, I need to know how the user exited the new form previously:
If user clicked OK, then I can set the oForm.visible switch on,
but if the user had closed the form, I need to re-load it from XML.
In my experience, if a solution is not pretty, there is usually a better one. But then again...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Any comments, or better alternatives, would be appreciated.
Thanks
Erwin

Hi Erwin,
Welcome to the forum.
I don't think I've ever seen an addon which hides its forms until they are needed again but it's an interesting idea. Whereas I can see some advantages, I'd be inclined to always load the form from XML for a few reasons:
1) Most of the time I tend to be working with multiple instances of the same user form (ie the user can open my form multiple times like a lot of the system forms). Keeping track of how many instances of my form are open and whether they are hidden or not is more of a pain than just closing and opening the form.
2) Hidden forms still take up memory on the workstation, although that's probably a minor issue for one or two forms at a time.
3) Unless the form is quite complex (ie large number of controls or lots of comboboxes to populate) the load speed is acceptable.
If your form is quite complex and the user is likely to be opening and closing it regularly then I can see an advantage in hiding the form until it is needed again as this should speed up the response time.
There are ways to stop the user closing your form unless they use the Ok or Cancel buttons:

Report error with the input form using the VC BI integration wizard

Hello All,
I've created a report using the BI integration wizard in visual composer. I've configured the query with the 'Free Form' query template also I've defined the filters there. This is working fine and giving me the report output. When I deploy this , I could see
a start point for the data service.
But instead of the start point with the default values for the filters , I want to have an input form for the users to enter the field values. I added the input form in place of start point. But it's not working even though it doesn't give any error while deploying this report. It gives the following error when I run this report.
" Data service error occurred,cannot execute OLAP queryCannot get data set: Cannot get data set".
Could anybody help on this.
Thanks
Alok

Hi Sandeep,
I'm already draging it from the query input port. Are you referring a different way? How I could have the input variables in the query which I'm creating using the BI integration wizard. To get this input variable I'm trying to add the input form.
Am I doing anything wrong here ?
Pls help.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip.
Correct me if I am wrong but you have set up SLED SP1 connecting to an OS like (RHEL 4/OEL 4,SuSE 9) using VMWare Server. What OS is SLED?
I chose SUSE 10.3 as its free and I want to set up apps server for purely training purposes. Do you know of a free linux OS that is certified to run AS 10g 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks

Primary key when creating reports with forms

I'm new to APEX and I'm creating a report with forms using the wizard. I've checked the 'Include Analysis Pages' checkbox. When I select the 'add pages' button I get the following message:
Table has no primary keys defined. A primary key is required when creating reports with forms.
I know that the table does have a primary key because I defined it and also it is visible in the Sql workshop / Object browser and Toad.
Am I missing something or is this some sort of bug?
thanks
sb

You're missing something. This message means you've not told APEX what the primary key is. You shouldn't have been able to get passed the page in the wizard that asks for it though. Can't describe where it prompts for it from memory, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Setting fields defined in SQL updateable report with a process

I have SQL statement defined in a SQL updateable report with hidden fields. I want to be able to update these hidden fields with values from other displayed fields on the page. How do I reference these hidden items - I have referencign them as :my_field but get and error telling me thats its underfined.

But, the reason I am doing this is because I want to format the page with 6 columns in one <TD> cell with some extra text and formatting etc - I don't want 1 column per <TD>. Thats why I am using the APEX_ITEM.TEXT so I can format the 1 <TD> the way I want it (with 6 columns it there).
In the short term can you tell me how to reference hidden fields please.
I will create the case in apex.oracle.com in the next few days to make it clearer.
P.S. see my previous post: SQL QUERY updateable report with APEX_ITEM fields to update hidden columns
