Need to Determine a Report's Parameters Dynamically

We are trying to create a distributed reports application. So far, we have a few reports that we developed in Oracle Reports Builder. Two have start and end date parameters. Some have no parameters. In the future, who knows what parameters any given report will have.
We have a table that includes a user friendly report name, the file name, a group id, and etc. This is used to dynamically build the reports list in APEX.
Is there a way to determine within APEX what report parameters a given report needs, and then conditionally display prompts on the page as necessary, or not at all if appropriate?
Still running HTML-DB 1.6 - hope to upgrade soon.
Thanks,
Gregory

Yes.
:P501_X := 'http://cos-report.companyname.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?prt_print&module='||:P101_REPORT_NAME||'&startdate='||:P501_START_DATE||'&enddate='||:P501_END_DATE||'&desname='||:P501_ACCT_PRINTERS;
Then I reference &P501_X. in a branch to that URL.
This works fine. But not if the report identified in :P101_REPORT_NAME does not have a &startdate and/or &enddate parameter. How can I tell ahead of time?
If the user selects a report from the list that does not require a parameter how can the system tell if it does not require a parameter?
Thanks,
Gregory

Need to determine directory name where file is to be posted dynamically

Hi Experts,
In my Idoc to file scenario implementation, I need to put the file generated after mapping in a directory (via FTP) but the determination of the directory is dynamic and based on one of the fields in the incoming idoc.
I mean the Idoc which comes from the SAP system has a field which gives the store number (length 4) like S001, S002 etc. Now based on this store number I have to determine the folder in which that file has to be posted, folder like STORES001, STORES002 etc. which is already there in the file server.
Hence I have to read that field in idoc and apend it to "STORE" and put that in the target directory field of the communication channel. Can you please help me in achieving this step by step.
The receiver is the same file system just the folder/directory where the file has to be put is different.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Yash

Hi Pavani,
I tried following your solution but I am facing a problem. I have created different communication cahnnel for different folders and also different receiver agreement with each communication channel. but how will i give the condition in interface determination?
normally we can give conditions in Receiver Determination but here that wont work because we will ahve only one interface determination.
Can you please explain you detials in more detials so that i can implement it? If you want you can mail me at [email protected]
waiting for your reply.

Discoverer report with parameters and functions

I am new to Discoverer. Is there a way to create a report (with parameters) of one line per customer such that the following data will be displayed for each customer?
Among the parameters is: from_date (month & year) ,to_date
The basic query gives totals for each date (month & year) for every customer.
Among the fields displayed:
1-customer_id,
2-balance until from_date,
3-total activity between from_date and to_date
I have a function to calculate the total balance until from_date, but then I cannot get the total activity on the same line. I tried using another function and I tried using a total calculation but to no success.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hi Markus
You need to determine whether you can in fact call a Discoverer report using a URL before linking it in Portal. You need to run the report in Viewer first and then see copy the URL from the address line of the browser. Then you open another browser and paste the URL. You may well be prompted for a username and password but hopefully the correct report with the right parameters will then execute.
Assuming this works you then paste the same URL link into Portal and you should be able to get the report to run.

How to call discoverer report with parameters over http link?

Hi!
I'm using oracle application server 9.0.4 (incl. discoverer).
I have an oracle portal report where I want to call a discoverer report for each line over a http link. It is always the same discoverer report - with each line I want to pass parameters to my discoverer report.
How can I pass parameters to the report? Is there another way rather than using GET parameters?
Thanks
Markus

Passing parameters dynamically from Self Service Page

Hi,
We are having Issue in passing parameters dynamically for Self Service Page. We are in the process of doing research on the same which is taking time. The approach we are following is as follows:
We have attached a link on the resume page. The link is in the form of a button. On the click of button the report is displayed. The steps are as given below:
1. Log in through the Application Developer Responsibility.
2. Created a SSWA plsql type function CD_TEST_SS with parameters as report=TESTING_PDF&PARAMETERS=P_PERSON_ID~617*DESFORMAT~PDF*]] and HTML call as OracleOASIS.RunReport.
3. Enable the profile option Personalize Self-Service Defn to Y.
4. Log in through the Manager Self Service Responsibility.
5. Create an item of type button Test using personalization feature and attach the function CD_TEST_SS to the Resume page.
6. The button Test appears on the form.
7. On clicking the Test button the 6i report is called. The rdf file is place on the server in appl/au/11.5.0/reports/US directory. The rdf name is TESTING_PDF.rdf.
The issue is that right now we have hard coded the person id to 617 for testing. We need to pass the parameters at runtime. i.e. the person id of the employee selected should be passed dynamically. Please let us know if you have any idea about this.
Thanks and Regards

Deployment of reports containing parameters

Post Author: RustyHalo
CA Forum: General
Hi,
First of all, please forgive me if this topic is addressed somewhere else (I did search but could find nothing).
I have many crystal reports containing parameters which have been developed for our organisation which I need to deploy (preferably through a website) to enable users to select the parameter criteria relevant to their particular department and therefore run their own report/s. How do I go about this while retaining the ability to include these parameters and keeping the data dynamic?
We are using Crystal Reports XI Developer.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

CA Forum: General
Hello - have you resolved this question?
Unfortunately, there is not a single 'fits-all' solution, which really equates to you having many options.
Set up a customized server using IIS & ASP, for example, to provide the reports and include parameter selection.
Purchase Crystal Enterprise to provide the reports and necessary functionality.
Purchase Crystal Desicions for advanced functionality.
You may even be able to download the Crystal Reports Viewer and have the functionality you're seeking (I've not used it). Just do a search on the Business Objects web site.
Hope this helps and sorry for not being able to provide more information.

Why do i need udev+udisks+udisks2+gvfs installed to dynamic mount?

hi there,
yes, i have used the search function on that, but still have unanswered questions.
1.
why do i need udev+udisks+udisks2+gvfs installed to dynamically mount internal (ntfs, ext4) partitions ?
If one these packages is missing, mounting an internal drive with "pcmanfm" is not possible.
I know how to static mount these drives via "fstab", but i want to mount them when i need the access.
2.
why are my removable devices not automatically mounted in "pcmanfm" when plugged in?
I have another OS (Lubuntu) running and this automatically recognizes when a cd is inserted or a usb stick is plugged in.
I have tried to install the package "gvfs-afc" and rebooted, still no usb stick to see. But when i enter:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
The usb stick is listed as "sdb1"
I am using 64bit arch linux 3.9.3-1 with openbox+lxde.

You don't. You need udev for a whole lot of other stuff, so leave that aside. To automount removable media, you can just use udisks and a helper like ud{iskie,evil}.
For an ntfs partition, you will also need that driver.
Comparing it with the Lubuntu; I am sure there is a lot more cruft preinstalled that makes this happen. In Arch, you just install what you need.
The udev page has the details.
so i have uninstalled the gvfs+udisks2 packages, rebooted and installed udevil-git and rebooted again.
No partition is shown in the filemanager now. I really dont get it. The udev wiki says udev needs rules but my "/etc/udev/rules.d" folder is empty.
The udisks wiki says that udisks and udisks2 are incompatible and that only one is needed and that udisks2 should be installed for gnome systems and udisks for xfce, but i have lxde installed. So it is not working with udisks and lxde (pcmanfm), when i try to install udisks2 additionally, it also does not work. Uninstalling udisks is also not possible because of the dependancy to libfm and so on...

# run as root. success_rootexec will also be run if the root user runs udevil.
# If both success_exec and success_rootexec are specified, success_rootexec
# will run first, followed by success_exec.
# Unless you are familiar with writing root scripts, it is recommended that
# rootexec settings NOT be used, as it is easy to inadvertently open exploits.
# THIS PROGRAM IS ALWAYS RUN AS ROOT, even if the user running udevil is not.
# success_rootexec =
I have no idea what to do next, the only way it works, is the combination i mentioned in the title of this post. Any suggestion to solve that problem?

Need help on Oracle Report format

Hi,
I need help on Oracle Reports. I am generating a report in excel sheet. I have a column which is 13 digit number (In database it is CHAR datatype). In excel sheet it showing some thing like 9.78381E+12. I want to show complete number like 9783805591331.
Also sometimes leading zero's are not showing when my column values is something like 0098794859583. I need to show the leading zero's as well in excel without losing them.
Below are the parameters i am using for the report
DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET AND DESTYPE=FILE
My Oracle 9i developer version.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Kishore

Link two reports using parameters

Hi,
We are using business object XI.
I am trying to link two reports using parameters. I cannot use subreport option becuase inside the subreport I should link another report too. So,
Report 1(High level summary)
Report 2(Middle level summary)
Report 3(Detail level)
I tried to use hyperlink option and used following string.
http://<server_name>/<Virtual Directory>/object.rpt?prompt0={?param1}&prompt1={?param2}
Here is my question.
1. Server name: Does it include port number??
2. Virtual Directory: I am absolutely lost. I tried the "frsinput" directory the actual rpt file is storing. It is not working.
Do you have general path??
3. Parameters: I have 5 parameters to pass. 3 of them are Strings and the rest are DateTime.
Basically, I need any tutorial about this kinds of things. The tutorial I have got only discribe link like "www.yahoo.com"
BTW, is this even possible solution??

Hi,
I am trying to link two reports in the crystal report designer->deploy to the server->show in the DHTML viewer.
When I create a URL from report A, it looks like "&" disapears. For example, I created a hyper link from report A using formula,
http://server:port/........openDocument.jsp?sDocName=reportB&sType=rpt&paramName1="Trim(ToText({?param1},"#####"))"&paramName2="+Trim(ToText ({?param2},"#######"))
But when I see the actual URL, all the "&" disappears so it looks like
http://server:port/........openDocument.jsp?sDocName=reportBsType=rptparamName1="Trim(ToText({?param1},"#####"))"paramName2="+Trim(ToText ({?param2},"#######"))
No wonder it is not working.
I guess I need special protection for "&" sign. Do you know any?

eeekwhy don't you create 5 business view objects based on each of your dynamic promptsthis way you can share these parameters in other reports instead of having them all imbedded inside a single reportyou should also be able to schedule the list of values too so they will load faster

Why do we need account determination?

Hello,
why do we need account determinations and how can i create them for the COA?
Thanks,

Hi
To create accruals and post payables, the system must first of all determine the correct G/L accounts for posting in FI.
Before the system can determine the G/L accounts, certain settings must be made in Customizing. In the IMG, select: Logistics Execution -> Transportation-> Shipment costs -> Settlement -> Automatic G/L account determination. The settings required are described in detail here.
G/L account determination is carried out automatically. The following parameters are used for determination:
Chart of accounts
Valuation grouping code
Transaction key
Account grouping
Valuation class
G/L account determination can be carried out at shipment cost item level or you can have the system carry out posting at delivery or delivery item level for a more detailed process.

Hi,
Yes, that is true. The field borders are not drawn when there is no data for that field.
Here's a workaround though. Create this formula and use this formula field instead of the original database field on the report
if isnull({database_field}) or not({database_field} > 0) or not({database_field} = "") then
space(1) else totext({database_field})
You can then apply borders on this field and you'll see that the field draws the border when there is no value.
If the field that is in the Subreport, then it needs to be done in the Subreport, otherwise in the Main Report.

Generating report based on dynamically generated sql query

I have to rewrite asp reports to oracle reports.
The original application has forms in asp where reports are generated dynamically based on the options selected.
There are many options to select.
Some add filter criteria to where clause.
I have no problem with this. As i can generate report using parameter form.
whereas i don't know how to generate reports whose columns change based on the user selection.
The front end screens are going to be in java and jsp pages. The only way i can think of is generating reports on all possible options the user may select. But, as there are more than 15 options, i think this is not the right approach.
How can i achieve this.
Thank you very much.
navya.

One method that comes to mind would be to use an after parameter form, and use lexical parameters to create dynamic statements.
For example in your after pform:
If :P_NAME = 'JOHN' then
:P_SELECT = 'SELECT COL1, COL2 ';
:P_FROM = 'FROM JOHN ';
:P_WHERE = 'WHERE COL3 = 'JOHN';
END IF;
Then in your query, you could say:
&P_SELECT
&P_FROM
&P_WHERE
Something like that - If only parts of you where statement will change, you can just write that one part -
like
IF :P_STATE is not null then
:P_STATE = ' and table.state = :P_STATE_IN ';
else :P_STATE = ' and 1=1 ';
end if;
and in your query...
where....
&:P_STATE
So IF a person enters a state, then limit the search to that state, or else do a 1=1.
Hope this gives you a start
