Migration of apex 3.2 Interactive Reports tpo 4.0

I am currently involved with the update of APEX 3.1 to 4.0. Is it possible to have the user-saved IRs in 3.1 migrated to APEX 4.0? My understanding is that the users will lose their reports once the migration takes place.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
If you are upgrading then there shouldn't be any problems.
Only issue raised was when moving the app from one instance to another instance with different application ID's.
For more information see Preserving User Saved Interactive Reports
Thanks

Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

Hi,
I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero» is not working any more.
So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
It’s a good idea?
Thank you

Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
[url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
user = 'test'
password = 'test'
I have 2 questions :
(1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
(2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance.

What is Maximum No. of columns in APEX 3.2 Interactive Report

Hi All,
Is there any limitation on maximum number of columns in a APEX (3.2) Interactive Report page, I have a report containing more than 200 columns. I am tyring to add another 25 new columns and found this error msg: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I can add 5-6 new columns and it's runing okay but after that the msg. is coming.

A query 225 columns wide? Is that not a bit excessive? I can't imagine that being particularly user-friendly. Perhaps it might be worth considering some sort of master->detail type report with the relevant filters for content - that should give your users something a mite bit more manageable.

Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column Filter Issue

Environment: Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column header Filter Issue
We have developed an interactive report using Oracle APEX 4.0, which contains a record count of around 3,000 Rows. All the rows values are unique in nature. When we try to filter the same with the help of column header filter option available in the interactive report,We get only 1000 records.
Could some one help us, why this behaviour under APEX Table Column Header Filter as if it does not display beyond 1000 distinct values.
Is there a way or workaround on how to get all the records in the column header filter?
Thanks in advance.

Krish,
Interactive report has hard coded limit to display 1000 rows of column filter LOV for performance. Unfortunately, the limit cannot be changed. The workaround is to define a Column Filter LOV for the column instead of using "Default Based on Column Type".

Apex 4.0 interactive reports and images

To the community,
I haven't had a chance to do a decent search before bed, but I was wondering if anyone had links to good examples on OTN, someone's blog, apex.oracle.com etc, but I thought I'd put the question out there overnight.
I have a table that contains my blob/mimetype/filename information, and I'd like to create a sample interactive report that displays the image in the blob in all three formats - standard interactive report, using the icon view, and using the detail view.
Note I'm not referring to images that may be in the repository or file system - but within in a table.
For whatever reasons I was losing the battle this afternoon, I was just wondering if anyone knew of good concise examples, such as this for using images in form & classic report pages.
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Cheers,
Scott

I have finally replicated the solution, with the help of the following thread
Confusion with get_blob_file_src
found when searching "broken image" as one of the keywords.
Such a horrible and non-intuitive solution to get images displayed in an interactive report!
Hopefully the Apex team can work on improving this in future releases...

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.

Hi 910246, welcome to the forum.
Please update your handle to something more personal.
See if this query against the APEX views helps any:
SELECT apex_workspace_activity_log.apex_user "User",
       apex_workspace_activity_log.page_name "Page Name",
       apex_workspace_activity_log.page_id "Page ID",
       TO_CHAR (apex_workspace_activity_log.view_date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI PM')
          "Date/Time Viewed",
       apex_workspace_activity_log.rows_queried "Rows Queried"
FROM apex_workspace_activity_log, apex_application_page_ir
WHERE     (   :p315_user = '%null%'
            OR apex_workspace_activity_log.apex_user LIKE
                  '%' || :p315_user || '%')
       AND TRUNC (view_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE)
       AND apex_workspace_activity_log.page_id =
              apex_application_page_ir.page_id:P315_USER is based on a LOV defined by this:
SELECT username d, username r
    FROM (SELECT DISTINCT apex_user username
            FROM apex_workspace_activity_log
           WHERE TRUNC (view_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE))
ORDER BY 1Jeff

Apex 3.1, Interactive Report Row Text Search, image bitmap as TEXT?

I think this IR thing is powerful which could save me lots of time in development.
One question: does the row text search(default: all columns) treat image column as regular text(string)? I did the following search on:
SAMPLE APPLICATION-->Products, I put 300 in the search column( for $300 list-price search), the search produces 3 lines( should only have 2). the 3rd line's list price is $1999, I looked it in SQL*PLUS and saw its image bitmap (long string) includes a "300" inside, so I believe the "default all columns search" treat image as regular string.
How can I avoid the image bitmap search included in IR? This bitmap strings are very long for each image and can EASILY match searching conditions for something like PRODOUCT DESCRIPTION, PRODUCT PRICE for our products data( about 25000)? thanks
sean

Sean / Russell,
Thanks for reporting this, it's certainly a bug.
By the way, the search is performed in SQL, on whatever column values are being displayed (run the page in debug mode to see the full SQL). So in the case of the sample application, it is not matching the image bitmap, but the image size, which is selected in the SQL. The bug is that the full search should not include columns which have filtering disabled or one of the special image format masks. We'll try to fix this for an upcoming patch.
Thanks,
Marco

Interactive Report - Icon View - Dynamic Columns per Rows ?

Interactive Report with Null Columns

I've got a user who wants to export an interactive report, and he needs certain columns to appear on the export for him to fill the data in later (this is an intermediate step, while we work on getting all the data he needs in to the database). I've created the report query, and there are a handful of null/empty columns (to preserve the correct order for the export). When I try to add this query to APEX in an interactive report, I get a "ORA-00001: unique constraint (APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_COLUMNS_UK2) violated" error.
Googling around shows me that this happens because of similarly-named columns, and the solution is to provide aliases to all columns. My report has aliases on all columns, but I still cannot create an interactive report. I've tried changing the null columns to empty strings, as well as enclosing the aliases in double-quotes, but nothing works. I can however use my original query to create a standard report, but due to the export requirement, this isn't ideal.
I was able to create the interactive report with one null column, and then edited the report source to add in the others. This had to be done one at a time, since trying to add multiple null columns at the same time gives the same error again. Unfortunately, when I try and run the page, I get an "ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined" error.
My original query:
select customer.customer_name as customer,
       project.name as project_name,
       trunc(project.estimated_end_dt) as due_date,
       project_status.project_status_desc as status,
       null as revenue,
       project.baseline_effort as baseline_hours,
       null as projected_cost,
       null as est_gain_loss,
       project.actual_hours as actual_hours,
       project.estimated_hours as projected_hours,
       null as projected_cost,
       null as projected_gain_loss,
       null as roi
    from project,
         customer
where customer.customer_id = project.customer_id
and project.inactive_ind = 0
and project.customer_id is not null
and project.estimated_end_dt >= :DTP_P50_STARTDT
and project.estimated_end_dt <= :DTP_P50_ENDDT
order by customer.customer_name,
         project.estimated_end_dt;             Can someone tell me a way to create an interactive report with multiple null columns?

Hi shimmoril,
The problem is likely that you have two columns aliased as "projected_cost" (7th column and 11th column).
Hope this helps,
John

Interactive Report tab seperator

Greetings,
I use apex 4.0 without the latest patch releases. I want to download csv files with separator as tab instead of comma, how can I do that?

But I need a better solution because I cannot change excel settings of every client using my app. I'm using firefox by the way.
Thanks for sharing Chris. I really appreciate your answers and be happy to hear further from you with other advices. And I'd be glad to share through this topic if I come up with a solution.
If anyone out there have an idea about my problem, it would be great to hear them. I need to separate my data in interactive report in different excel cells without changing any settings on client side. This is a crucial point to decide whether to use apex 4.0 interactive reports or not as pivot tables in our new project. Maybe I'm missing something very easy or I need a third party tool for excel download but I need to know as soon as possible. Thanks.

Interactive Reports and APEX 3.0

hi -- I built some initial prototype pages (forms, reports, etc) in Apex 3.0. Have recently upgraded to 3.2, and in building more reports I see that there
is an option for an Interactive Report (and it's the default). Was this available in 3.0? I was new enough to APEX that I may not have picked up on it if it was... but what I can see is that for the Reports I created in 3.0 (Where the region is PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query) there is no option, in the Region Definition, to migrate the report to an interactive report (as it appears there should be, from looking at post:
Can we change a report to interactive
The only task option is undo region source.
If Interactive Reports weren't available in 3.0, is there any way to convert existing reports? Or would I just need to re-create them?
Also, is there a tabular form that also supports interactive report features? I'm guessing not... but thought I'd ask.
Thanks,
Carol

Interactive Reports were introduced in Application Express 3.1:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_new_features.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apexusr31/apexusr31.htm
I will try and find a link about the conversion details (updated below).
You only get the conversion option on the right hand of the screen for the Standard SQL Reports, not "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)".
If you were to change it to the standard SQL type (which may not be possible) it would give you the option after applying the change. Interactive Reports only work on standard SQL queries, and not SQL generated from a function body.

Changing usernames - migrating saved Interactive Reports

Hi all,
We are changing our authentication scheme for our Apex 4.2 app. Unfortunately the new authentication provider requires us to use usernames of a different format to those that we currently use. This will make our saved interactive reports for each of our many users "disappear" as they are saved against a given username. For example, where I may have had the username SURNAME1234 I will now have FIRSTNAME.SURNAME1
I haven't found any Oracle-sanctioned method of doing this migration rather than just altering data in the Apex Schemas. If there is one, I would be very grateful to hear of it, but I haven't spotted anything in my searches.
If I do have to just hack around in the data, I've devised the following update statement to "migrate" the usernames:
UPDATE apex_040200.wwv_flow_worksheet_rpts
SET application_user = :DG_USER_ID
WHERE application_user = :OLD_USER_ID;
... Can anyone think of any complications that might arise from this? Is there anything more I need to do to ensure that the system remains internally consistent? It seems to work ok in my initial testing (moving a report from one user to another).
Any help greatly appreciated,
Alex.

Alex / Duncs,
There isn't any supported way to change the owner of saved reports in the current release of APEX 4.2.3. The UPDATE statement given by Alex is unsupported and dangerous as it can touch rows which are not saved reports. We will provide a supported PL/SQL API to change the saved report owner in the future release of APEX.
Regards,
Christina

Saved Interactive Reports after APEX Upgrade

Hi,
When you do an APEX Upgrade are saved interactive reports kept?
Martin

I have been experiencing lost saved "as Named Report" Interactive reports, whenever I migrate the application from test to prod.
To clarify how we operate.
We have a test APEX environment that is separate to production. The Test app has a different App_id but uses the same schema name. In test the application Id is 1xxx (eg 1201) and in test 2xxx (2201). I export Test 1201 and then import into Prod changing the App_id to overwrite 2201. I always lose the saved reports. I just tried an experiment of creating the saved report in Test and seeing if it migrates to prod, but of course it does not.
How should I operate the two different Test and Prod environment to be "best practice" and not lose "as Named Report" Interactive report saved by the end-user?
thanks Peter
