Layout in sql report gets disturbed in case of blank columns

Hi All,
I have an SQL report which runs from a concurrent program.
Problem is, if there are blank columns in the report then the data shifts to the left.
As shown in the below table, if column Attribute 4 is null then the data for Error column has shifted to the left. The words Incorrect Data should come under heading Error whereas it comes under Attribute4.
ASSET_NUMBER_REC ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_CODE ATTRIBUTE4 ERROR
316604 ABCD Incorrect Data
Can someone help me in correcting the report layout.
Regards,
Shruti

ASSET_NUMBER_REC ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_CODE ATTRIBUTE4 ERROR
316604 ABCD Incorrect Data
Can someone help me in correcting the report layout.
Hi
SQL Report --- Do you mean SQL Query in such case,
Please use NVL function on all column, which will give you proper place result.

Sql report, How to access current rows 6 columns data

I have one page having page items & SQL report having 8 columns.
First column of report is a link for editing.
on clicking first column, that record gets displayed on page items, which are opn same page.
Now my problem is i have used link column of report and set 3 page items value on click of link column.\
But i need to set values for 2 more page items.
I tried to create computation & process but not working. i am confused about which process point to select & whether onclick page gets submitted or not.
I tried to write jscript but not succeeded. I dont know how to get current row id in jscript & different column values of current rowid.
any help.

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
in 5 items, first three are numeric and last two are timestamp fromtime, totime.
as I mentioned earlier if i interchange 4 & 5 items i.e. now ITEM4 is totime & ITEM5 is fromtime
and their values. I get value for totime & not for fromtime. all records contain values for all 5 columns. no null.
So basically their is no problem in value or data, The only problem is whatever sequence is maintained first 4 items get value & 5th item remains blenk.
Either I type all 5 ITEM NAMES in one Item name-value pair of link or use all three pairs, 5th ITEM remain blank.

Layout issue: sql report region and items derived from a different table

Hi all,
I have a report region whose source is a sql query. I am trying to display other items in the same region(These I added manually on the page and they come from another table in the schema). It works fine, except the items that I added manually in the region always appear at the top of the items that are derived from the query. I want the other way around if possible, where I want the items from report query to appear first and then the other items to appear below them. Can this be done? If so how?
Thanks in advance
sr

sr,
on the definition page of your region, set the property "Display Point" to "Page Template Body (1. items below region content).
I think that's what you are looking for.

APEX 3.0: Create SQL Report Wizard raises a Javascript error

Hi,
in the "Create SQL Report Wizard" (Create Page/Report/SQL Report) when you click onto the "Generic Columns" radio group the following JavaScript error is displayed.
disItem.style has no properties
disableItems("html_RadioValue('P4795_GENERIC_COLS')=='N'", "P4795_MAX_COLUMNS", undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined)

Sharon,
sorry was not clear enough. It's just a Javascript error which shows up, it doesn't stop me to create the report. I just noticed that there seems to be a functionality which isn't completely implemented.
I'm using FF 2.0 with the Firebug plugin, that's why I immediately see if an error occurs on a page.
Reproduced the same behavior on apex.oracle.com
1) Create Page
2) Report
3) SQL Report
4) Press Next
5) Press Next
6) Click on "Generic columns" radio option
7) In FF go to Tools/Error Console => you should see the error (maybe you have to filter for Errors)

Sql Server 2008 Reporting Security issue ( added name to Server, some how cannot acces the report ) getting error message

have added name to Sql server , users cannot access the report, getting error message ,
I have give all the permission to this users, so why this users still cannot look at the report,
and getting error message,
An error has occurred during report processing.
cannot create a connection to data source Ax live
for more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine or enable remote errors.
can some please help me what this message means,
I really appreciate it
thanks In advance

If "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" is selected, when the report is run, the user will be prompted to provide credentials. They would need to provide credentials that have the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the
database. This prevents the double hop.
If "Credentials stored securely in the report server" is selected, you have to enter the username and password of a user (or service account) that has the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the database. When the report is run, SSRS will use
these stored credentials each time to authenticate to the database engine and query the data. Users running the report are not prompted to provide credentials. With this option you can use an Active Directory or SQL Server account.
In order to access/run the report, a user will need to authenticate to SSRS. There are options here as well. You can provide them the link to the report manager and they can authenticate, navigate to, and run the report. You can also provide
direct links to reports that users click in a document or application. At this point the user is typically still prompted to authenticate to SSRS. You can also programmatically call the report using API's and essentially build a proxy that authenticates
to SSRS and open the report.
Not sure if that answers your question.

Customize SQL Report Layout

I have a SQL report which returns 15 colums. Rather than format the report vertically with 15 rows for each record or horizontally with 15 columns for each record, I'd like to return a 3x5 table of values - is this possible.

The problem is when I execute a report and I want to
print it, the page break is not done. I want toHTML does not have any concept of a "page break" or a page even. The browser just sends the currently displayed HTML BODY content to the printer and the printer takes it from there.
Google for HTML page break and see what you find
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=html%20page%20break&btnG=Google+Search
If system user want to print the report they don't
want to have problem and make a lot of test before
having the report they want. Is it possible to move
column like Discoverer ?What you see (in the browser) is what you get on the printer.
You can implement some simple column re-ordering functionality in your report using some of the techniques I showed at
Swapping columns on reports
You can even show/hide columns as per Carl's example at
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:46
So, user can play around with this until the desired columns are seen in the desired order and then use the browser's Print function to print what is on the screen.
Hope this helps.

Add SQL reporting services to get Azure sql db data

Dear all,
I have read recently that SQL server reporting services as been remmoved from Azure services. I have a SQL server database on azure which collect different type of data which are collected from a web admin portal by my users.
I have a strong need to bring to that admin web portal a flexible reporting solution for my users to monitor collected data.
Of course I can bring dash board to web application but often it is painful to change web app when a user want different type of report.
What could be the way now to use online reporting service in orde to bring online report for my user of my sql azure database ?
regards
serge

Hi serge,
Based on my understanding, you want to use SQL Azure database to design the report, right?
As you mentioned,
Azure SQL Reporting is officially discontinued, so that we can’t design reports with Azure SQL Reporting. However, only the Azure cloud implementation of SQL Reporting is discontinued. All other forms of Reporting Services technology are unaffected. In
Reporting services, it’s supported connect to SQL Azure database. So in your scenario, you can connect to the SQL Azure database to design the report. For more information, please refer to this article:
How to connect to SQL Azure using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Getting Column names from SQL report

I have a SQL report as follows:
select ename, dept, manager
from emp;
I need to be able to dynamically access the column names being displayed inside APEX so I can use in a List of Values. I can't use all_tab_columns. Is there an internal APEX table/view that I can accxess that will give me all of the columns that are eing displayed in a SQL report?

Hi Bob,
Try this -
1) Give your report region a static id
2) Use the following query -
select
heading d,
column_alias r
from
apex_application_page_rpt_cols
where region_id = 'FOO';Obviously change 'FOO' to match your region id, and look at the different columns available in the apex_application_page_rpt_cols view to see what best suits you.
The APEX dictionary rocks ;)
Hope this helps,
John.

SQL Report not showing data - available in SQL Workshop and SQL Developer

I am having an issue with developing a SQL Report in APEX 3.2.1. I run the code in both SQL developer and SQL Workshop and I get data pulled back (both against my development environment). When I run the same code in a SQL Report region, it returns no data available. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? Other regions on the page accessing different tables in the same schema return data without issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Freddie

Could you explain the last comment a bit more. Here is a bit more info just in case I touch on the info with it. The db schema is BPAMGR, the Workspace is BPAMGR. We use the same schema for all of our reporting. All of our tables are in the same schema. We don't use any tables outside of this schema. Our APEX workspace has been associated to only this schema. The tables are able to be queried by SQL Workshop in the same APEX instance that the report application is under.

Conditional display in a SQL-Report/Report Region

Hi,
here I have an example for "Conditional display in a SQL-Report/Report Region". I figured it out in Firefox 3.6.2 using Firebug as development tool on Apex 3.2.1.00.12.
First you have to put the following javascript code in the Page HTML-Header:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Maybe you have to modify the "vd_getBody" function. I'm searching the table cell with having the class "t10data". When you use another theme, there's maybe another class used.
Second is, that you set an static id for your report region. I prefer this structure:
R<app-id><page-id><seq> (Raaaaappppsss) e.g. R094260001010.
First example is to turn off the onMouse-Effect. Maybe on the first or last column definition you put this code in the "HTML-Expression" area:
<script>ex_conditional_tr('R094260001010', #ROWNUM#);</script>#ID#This will call the example function ex_conditional_tr with the parameter
a) the region id
b) the rownum (as oracle always starts with 1 this is the first data row [rownum=0 is the table header row])
Second example is the conditional formatting of a table cell. Put this in the HML-Expression area:
<script>ex_conditional_td('R094260001010', #ROWNUM#, #COLNUM#-1);</script>#ENAME#This will call the example function ex_conditional_tr with the parameter
a) the region id
b) the rownum
c) the cellnum (here we have to subtract 1 to get the "real" cell index)
The "ex_conditional" functions are just a representation of how to get the row or cell node.
Hope this help a bit.

I would use a CASE statement in the select....
each CASE would be an img src tag for a different button if the button is an image.
does that make sense? I can include an example if you would like...

Hyperlink from PL SQL Report to a branch

Hi,
Is there a "good" way to hyperlink from PL SQL report to a branch?
I cant use the regular report, as there is a lot of data and I need to control the layout.
I would like to go to another page and pass data to one known field.
Have tried googling and I found this page:
http://www.lucidprocess.com/blog/building-hyperlinks-in-oracle-apex-reports/
But it seems a bit "hacky", eg.. many places to edit if the page where to move or change in the future (or if one copies the page).
Is there a more "clean" way to do this, or does one have to get his/her hands dirty for such a task?

Thank you.
I managed to write the other code too:
"f?p='||:APP_ID||':686:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||'::P686_TBNR,P686_VIS_REGISTER:'||oppdrag.PE_TBNR_BET||'%2CHUSKNYTT"instead of firing the branch and using JS, I just set the two fields that change the logic and basis of the page. However as you see, the "flaw" with the code I wrote, is that if the fields or anything were to change, it will be harder to go in and edit reports that have this type of code.
Have just started with APEX, but I must say I like it a lot..
Just wish there where something inbetween the sql reports and the pl sql reports..
The possibilities of the PL SQL Reports meeting the SQL Reports flexibility would be super.
However, maybe it's good not everything is served on a plate, as this forces me to learn it more in depth. I also love challenges and I like making things properly :-)

I am using SQL Server 2008 with SP3. When i open my open my reporting manager URL. i get the error as "This page cannot be displayed" HTTP Error 500 internal server error. I read few blogs posted below. Tried both but could not help me out

I tried deleting the reserved URL and re reserved but still did not help.
Tried changing the port number but still no luck.

Create Simple Printable SQL Reports in APEX 3.2 Without a Print Server

Oracle Apex 3.2
Oracle 11g
OHS
I thought I'd post an answer on how to get a printable SQL report in Oracle Apex without having to configure a print server. I'm sure that similar things have been posted in various other places, but I found the documentation for using custom row templates (to create a printable report) to be incomplete at best. For my needs, I was not looking for an awe inspiring report printout, but rather simple directory information printouts. For example, if you wanted a printable report to look like this:
=================================
CURRENT ACTIVE EMPLOYEES REPORT
=================================
First Name: Bob                  Employee ID: 0000000000
Last Name: Swarts              Company Credit Card Number: 0000-0000-0000-0000
Middle Initial: F                  Social Security Number: 000-00-0000
First Name: Sue                  Employee ID: 1111111111
Last Name: Johnson           Company Credit Card Number: 1111-1111-1111-1111
Middle Initial: G                 Social Security Number: 111-11-1111
etc.....In MS Access, doing this is very easy. From what I understand, this is also very easy to do this using PDF software with a print server. However, if you are like me, you don't want to waste time and money by obtaining and configuring a print server (even if it is free). However, never fear because you can create simple reports like this with relatively minimalistic effort; and you can do so without having to configure a print server.
1.) Create a new page
2.) Create a new sql query report region on the page
3.) Make your query just as you would normally.
For this example the query would be:
select first_name, employee_id, last_name, company_credit_card_number, middle_initial, social_security_number from employee_table4.) Go to "Shared Components"
5.) Under "User Interface" click on "Templates"
6.) Click on the "Create" button
7.) Select "Report"
8.) Select "From Scratch"
9.) For the "Template Class," choose one of the "custom" classes. For the "Template Type," choose "Named Column"
10.) Click the "Create" button
11.) Now that you created a custom row template, go back to "Shared Components" and then to "Templates"
12.) Find your custom template and click on it
CUSTOM TEMPLATE HOW TO
1.) In the "Row Template 1" textbox, you are going to create some custom css that will display the data on the page. The css to make the report look like the report above would be:
<div style = text-align: justify">
<table>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p style = "page-break-after: always">----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
</div>
{code}
As you probably figured out, the numbers between the two pound signs ("#") are substitution strings for the variables in your select query in the SQL report. As you have also probably noticed, the "page-break-after: always" line will always make it so that only one report is shown on a page. To fix this, we will need to use logic and row template 2.
2.) For the "Row Template 1 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
3.) In the textbox for the row template 1 expression enter in the following: {code}substr('#rownum#',-1) = 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) = 5{code}
***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number is either a "0" or a "5." So, only 5 reports will be displayed per page.
4.) Now go down to "Row Template 2" and enter in the following in the textbox:
{code}
<div style = text-align: justify">
<table>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
</div>look familiar? that is because it exactly the same code as above, except without the page-break-after piece.
5.) For the "Row Template 2 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
6.) In the textbox for the row template 2 expression enter in the following: substr('#rownum#',-1) != 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) != 5***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number IS NOT a "0" or a "5."
7.) Scroll down to column headings and enter this in the textbox for the "Column Heading Template": OMIT
8.) Click the "Apply Changes" button
9.) Now go back to your application and the page you want to apply the custom report to
10.) On the report, click on the report tab
11.) Scroll down to "Layout and Pagination"
12.) Click on the "Report Template" select list
13.) Select your custom template
14.) Click the "Apply Changes" button and run the page
Try printing the report, if it does not print correctly, try it in Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Please note that it is my understanding that only Firefox does not understand the css "page-break-after: always"
If needed, add some css to the page to hide tabs and other items when you print.

             APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('F111_USER_EMAIL',l_vals(i));
          END IF;

Hi,
In pure SQL, you can get results like that using GROUP BY ROLLUP, and also using UNION. In this case, I suspect UNION would be a lot simpler.
Using SQL*Plus fucntionality, you could also write a SQL-from-SQL script that writes (and runs) a separate query for each department, the output of which is exactly what you requested.
I'd try UNION first.
Write one query to get the rows like
Deptno 10from your table, using GROUP BY deptno.
Write another query to get the rows like:
Empno Enamefrom your table, using GROUP BY deptno to get one such row per department. (It's possible to combine these two queries, but simpler not to.)
Write another query to get the actual data, such as
EMPNO ENAME
===== =====
1      A
2      B
3      C
4      D
5      E
6      F
7      GThen do a UNION of all three queries, with an ORDER BY clause to get them in the right order.
Each branch of the UNION will need some extra columns, to make the sorting work right. That is, the result set of the UNION will look something like this:
OUT1   OUT2        EMPNO     DEPTNO     QUERYNO
Deptno 10               10     1
Deptno 20                   20     1
Deptno 30                   30     1
EMPNO ENAME               10     2
EMPNO ENAME               10     2
EMPNO ENAME               10     2
1      A        1          10     3
2      B        2          10     3
3      C        3          10     3
4      D        4          10     3
5      E        5          10     3
6      F        6          10     3
7      G        7          10     3If you're going to have text, like 'EMPNO' in the 1st column, but empno is a NUMBER, then you should convert the NUMBERs to VARCAHR2s, using TO_CHAR.
You probably won't want to display those extra columns, so use the SQL*Plus "COLUMN ... NOPRINT" command to hide them, or do the UNION in a sub-query, and then do the ORDER BY in a super-query, where you can use columns in the ORDER BY clause without putting them in the SELECT clause alsio.
