Minor problem creating user defined reports

Hi:
I noticed that when you create a new user defined report or folder
-> right click on User Defined Rpeports and choose 'Add Folder' or 'Add Report'
the cursor focus is on the *Name field, but if you type nothing happens.
Then you click on another field (i.e.: Description, Tooltip...) and what you typed in *Name appears in the field you selected. This is not correct.
I see this on the Linux version.
Does the same happen on other operating systems?
Thanks,
Andrea

Thank you.
I am running Fedora FC4 with Sun JDK-1.5.0_06
Anyone else notices the same behaviour?
Happy new year everyone,
Andrea

Cannot create user defined report

Guys,
For an unknown reason, I'm unable to create new reports in some subfolder inside the "User defined report". When I rigth-click on the subfolder, the contextual menu contains only "Copy" and "Paste". But If I'm going to the root folder (User defined report), I'm able to create a new subfolder and new report. I'm even able to create an new report in the subfolder.
Did you already encounter the same issue and how did you solve it ?
Thanks

I vaguely remember someone having issues with user defined report operations, the problem there was solved by changing the user language to English by adding
AddVMOption -Duser.language=ENto the sqldeveloper.conf file normally located in
SQLDEVELOPER_INSTALL_DIR/sqldeveloper/binIf you are not already running in English try changing this.

2.1.1 Problem with User Defined Reports with actions on the context menu

I use the User Defined Reports quite a lot, and export and publish these to other members of the team as Shared Reports. I'm also quite disappointed that there seems to be no further development in this area of SQL Developer.
One of the totally undocumented features of User Defined Reports is the ability to attach actions to a context menu, and pass data from the grid to a procedure, for example. Copying, then exporting the sessions report (from All Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> Database Administration -> Sessions) exposes the XML for adding actions to the context menu. The snippet for killing a session looks like this:
<item reload="true" reloadparent="false" removeFromParent="false">
<title>Kill Session</title>
<prompt type="confirm" >
    <label>Kill Session?</label>
    <default><![CDATA[]]></default>
    <value><![CDATA[]]></value>
</prompt>
<sql><![CDATA[ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '#SID#, #SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE]]></sql>
<help>Kill the selected session.</help>
</item>So to add this type of functionality to your own user defined reports, you need to export the report, edit the XML, and import it again. It seems to work fine to add this to the master reports, but if you add an <item> element to the child reports, the context menu items appear on the master report too, and they are duplicated many times. I'm not sure if the action of exporting the report adds to the number of times the context menu appears.
Warning - if you edit a report using SQL Developer, all the <item> tags are removed. Once you've added actions to a context menu, you can only edit the report by exporting it, modifying the XML and importing it again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you found a work-around?
To the SQL Developer team: Are there any plans to allow the adding of user defined context menu items to reports using the GUI in the near future?

You're right the context menu needs a GUI desperately. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

Problem Editing User Defined Report - 1.1.0.22.71

When I rt click on an existing user-defined report on the Reports tab and select edit, change the default value on a bind variable and click Apply, I get message "Name already used please enter new one" message and changes will not save. Am I missing something here or is this a bug?

I expected that if I basically did a "save as" the issue could be avoided. But I wanted to be sure that if I'm maintinanig a set of shared reports I can edit an existing report without having to jump through a hoop or two. Is this issue being addressed?
Thanks

Problem creating user-defined metric for Database

I am logged in to EM/Grid Control as SYSMAN, any user with superadmin privileges or a 'normal' user with operator/full privileges for my database target. When I go to set up user-defined metrics for the target db I get the following warning "You will only be able to view User Defined metrics because you do not have Operator Privileges on host <db target name>". The Create button is disabled.
Can anyone offer any advise on where to identify the privilege problem?
Thanks

Well I did it with a host UDM calling a local script (which will be installed on shared drives for the development/test and production systems).
The local script cats the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file eliminating lines beginning with # or $ then takes the second argument of each line and loops through all entries using a checkit procedure. The checkit procedure determines if the appropriate log directores exist for the oracle home and does a find on the diretory looking for alert*.log and *.trc. If there are any then global variables get updated with the count and directory name.
There is an if statement before exit that checks of the count of files is greater than zero and write an appropriate em_result and em_message depending on the results.
I then created the UDM in EM to call this script and check for critical/warning thresholds.

Tim

Problem creating User Defined Table

I am using C# and SBO 6.5
Error Code: -1120
Error Message: "The Mete Data for this object cannot be updated,\nsince it's ref count is bigger then 0."
SAPbobsCOM.UserTablesMD m;

fieldadded =m.Add();
if (fieldadded !=0)
frmMain.oCompany.GetLastError(out oErrorCode,out oError);
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gopal

Hi Gopal,
Please note that GetByKey on a meta data object already makes it necessary to release the object (in your case "m").
In general you should use .NET's ReleaseCOMObject (see here:
SBO-SDK Consult : Releasing COM Object in .NET) to get rid of the "reference", but note that you most likely will have to set the object variable to null.
Alternatively setting the variable to null + a call to GC.Collect() might could do the trick, but GC.Collect() apparently works asynchronously! So, the COM object might not really have been released yet when you try to reuse the variable. GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers might work better.

Frank

Error creating a user defined report in the grid control

I am trying to create a simple User Defined report in the Grid OEM
Under the 'Elements' tab I have a 'Type' - 'Database Table from SQL'
And I have this 'Statement' - SELECT * FROM SYS.DBA_USERS
When I Click the 'Preview' button I get this error.

Isn't the SYS.DBA_USERS table accessible by SYSTEM?
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong/

It has to be some what supported since I found this somewhere in an Oracle note...
How to create custom reports on tables other than mgmt* views.
To create reports on other tables, grant permissions to MGMT_VIEW user as MGMT_VIEW is responsible for creating reports in grid control
SQL> GRANT SELECT on SYSMAN.<table_name> to MGMT_VIEW;
And then create the reports in the reporting framework referencing SYSMAN.<table_name> in the query.
I tried GRANT SELECT on SYS.DBA_USERS to MGNT_VIEW but this did not work.

SQL field (not large enough) - Create Report Dialog - User Defined Reports

When creating a user defined report it would be good to have the sql field the query is entered into bigger. The tiny size is awkward for large queries.

When you increase the window size, we increase horizontally but not vertically. I will log an enhancement request to see if we can get it longer.

1.5.5 Cannot add user defined report to folder

Hello,
the context menu on folders in user defined report show only two options: copy and export. No way to add new folders or reports. I migrated my settings from 1.5.1.
Though I can add a new folder directly at the root of user defined reports. But then SQL Developer won't restart (using 100% of my dual core until I kill the process).
Running WIN XP JDK 1.6.10
Regards
Marcus

Hello Sue,
I already tried the current production version 2.1.0.63.73 and the problem is still there.
In addition I did yet another test without migrating the old reports, connections etc. by renaming the appropriate folder in C:\Documents and Settings\michael\Application Data.
Afterwards I imported my own reports.
However there was no chance to move or delete any sub folders containing my reports. I only could copy or export sub folders or delete single reports.
And after restarting sqldev the same behavior occurred on the new folders just created: Only export and copy are available accessing the context menu.
Any suggestions? Do I have to re-create every single report?
Regards,
Peter
Edited by: petmichael on Jan 15, 2010 12:27 PM
Today I found out that changing the language settings for sqldev to English by adding the appropriate settings in sqldeveloper.conf located in \...\sqldeveloper-2.1.0.63.73\sqldeveloper\bin (mentioned below) does solve the problem.
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
AddVMOption -Duser.country=US
AddVMOption -Duser.region=US
AddVMOption -Dfile.encoding=GBK
By deleting these additional settings the error is reproducible.
In addition with the English language settings the "Tip of the Day" appears running version 2.1.0.63.73 first time and it doesn't work that way without the additional settings mentioned above.
Hth everybody running in that feature!

My bad I dont remeber the Report Name too.
Can anyone help me on this?
