Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column Filter Issue Posted: No

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

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".

Christina

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.

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.

Using Oracle Stored Procedure in Interactive Reporting

Hello,
i'm trying to use Oracle Store procedure in Interactive reporting but all i get are errors.
My env:
Interactive Reporting 9.3.1
Oracle Database 10.2
I created OCE as ODBC/OBDC. Tables are returned and Stored Procedure entry is enabled.
If i use "microsoft ODBC for Oracle" i can see stored procedure list but i get this error:
SQL API: [SQLExecDirectW], SQL RETURN: [-1], SQL STATE: [42000], SQL NATIVE ERROR: [6550], SQL MESSAGE: [[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'TEST_PDC_RECORDSET'
If i use Oracle's odbc i get: "Error in function sequence".
If i use Merants (5.2) odbc i cannot retreive stored procedure list. (list is empty)
Note.
My stored procedure works (tested via sqlplus).
thank u daniele

Returning (or sending in) multiple rows directly from (or to) a stored procedure is not currently possible. I have been in contact with SAP on this subject earlier, and they suggest using a web service to do the job. I used this as a work around, calling the stored procedure from a web service. I send in VC tables to this web service, and this in turn contacts my stored procedure.
The problem is related to the connector framework in the J2EE environment.
I am on 7.0 sps 17
If you use stored procedure single value parameters of type varchar, number ... then VC has no problem communicating with your procedures.
Good luck

Interactive Report - Save Default Filter not Saving

In Apex 3.2 I have an Interactive report were a Filter I applied won't save to the report.
I applied the Filter and saved it as the default report for all users, but when I leave the page and come back the filter its gone.
The same application on different pages has interactive report with filters applied to the default report and they all work fine, it's just this one report that the filter won't stay.
First time I've every had this issue.
Any ideas?
The filter is pretty simply, I have a column that has codes of D, E, G,... and I apply the filter for CODE != D.

Hi,
I've just been trying the "in the last" option and had no problems for any number that I entered. Are you just entering 1 into the box? What error do you get?
I've loaded the page with Debug switched on, and get:

Interactive Report wide Column Sorting hangs in Internet Explorer

I have an application that contains an interactive report. The Column Sorting and Filtering functions work fine in Firefox. However, if I try to sort a wide (110 byte - it contains a hyperlink) column in Internet Explorer, APEX produces the 'loading data' image and then hangs. Even a sort of a narrow (3 byte) column is noticeably slower in Internet Explorer than in Firefox.
We are running APEX 3.1.1 on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

Interactive report - order column by other column values

Hi Oracle experts,
could you please advise how to order column A by values of column B in Interactive report ?
When clicking on header of "Countries" column in order to sort it acs/desc I would like to order it by values of column "Sort_order" which stores values from 1 to 100.
The goal is to order "Countries" not alphabetically, but according to values of "Sort_order" column.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Konrad

With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Any ideas?I'm not an expert on Interactive Reports, so there may be a less brute force method using the built-in features, but here's an approach that's worked in the past.
Modify the query to generate the column as:
'' || countryi.e. prefix the country name with an HTML comment containing the required ordinal number. This won't be visible in the report, but will be considered when sorting in SQL.
In the IR Column Attributes set the column's Display Text As property to Standard Report Column so APEX won't escape the HTML tags.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Edited by: fac586 on 02-Oct-2012 13:28
From APEX 4.2 IR columns have support for HTML Expressions, so Re: Report formatting/sorting issue using a hidden column and HTML Expression should be used, as it's purely declarative and provides better separation of concerns. (Still a problem on report exports though. Whilst the sort column can be suppressed using a condition, the hidden column can't be "unhidden" to replace it.)

Interactive Report's Column Definition - Single Row View Label Bug?

Hello,
I have an Interactive report that I've added a Blue background to certain column headings (done by giving Column Heading a background color), this works fine except for the Single Row view - it displays the <....> code I used to get the background color and the column heading. I've tried to change the Single Row View Label by unchecking the 'Use Same Text for Single Row View' on the Column Definition and giving a different label, it just ignores whatever I put in and shows the Column Heading with the < .... > code. Is this a Bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Anna

Hi Anna,
I believe that it is a bug.
If the 'Use Same Text for Single Row View' checkbox is unticked and some text is entered in the 'Single Row View Label' field it gets ignored completely when viewed in the single row view and the existing value in 'Column Heading' is used.
I wanted to do something similar to you, colouring some of the Interactive Report column headers, and it works fine in the IR report itself but shows the code (span style:color etc) in the single row query. I am using Apex 3.1.1 and the Sand Theme.
I created a simple application on apex.oracle.com using the red theme and in single row view it still ignores the 'Single Row View Label' but interestingly shows the Column Heading text without the code. This indicates that there could be a work-around by altering the theme.

Chris

Interactive Report Link Column HELP FROM GURUS requested

Hi,
I have an interactive report the data of which returns a file name for an image. I would like to use the Link Column (Link to Custom Target) option. The column in my underlying query has the image file name #ILINK#.
The Target URL is correctly formed using the #ILINK# bind variable http://myserver.mycompany.com/cgi-bin/oracle/img.cgi?img_file=#ILINK#;size=full
However, for the Link Icon (which I wanted to be a dynamic thumbnail of the linked image). The #ILINK# bind variable is not read. Is this because the Link Icon cannot be dynamically determined and must always be the same image?
I can get this working as a regular report using HTML expression, but I really wanted to harness the power of an interactive report.
Thanks

Hi,
in this case you could build the required html-tags in your SELECT statement, like this:
SELECT EMPNO
, ENAME
, '<a href="blablabla/index"><img src="'||ENAME||'.gif">'||ENAME||'</a>' AS ENAME_LINK
FROM EMP

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...

Interactive Report (IR) column heading: filtered items number & flashlight

Hello everyone
several hours of searching through the forum did not provide me with leads or answers to 2 questions. Both are related to the IR column heading menu and options. Let's start with a copy of the relevant portion of the interactive report help screen:
Column Heading Menu
Clicking on any column heading exposes a column heading menu.
[snip]
Text Area is used to enter case insensitive search criteria (no need for wild cards). Entering a value will reduce the list of values at the bottom of the menu. You can then select a value from the bottom and the selected value will be created as a filter using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC'). Alternatively, you can click the flashlight icon and the entered value will be created as a filter with the 'LIKE' modifier (e.g. column LIKE '%ABC%').
List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values that meet your filters. If the column is a date, a list of date ranges is displayed instead. If you select a value, a filter will be created using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC').
Q1: Why do I not see a flashlight icon? I looked everywhere in the report definition to "enable" it, to no avail.
Q2: Although we've found IRs to be incredibly useful and embraced by end users, we are having issues when dealing with large datasets. Let's look at searching for people's first/last name in our CONTACTS table. The table is ~28,000 names long. If one attempts to use Column Heading menu to "filter" for any name outside the first 500 unique values, the search does not work. Yes, I know that a workaround is to use Actions Menu icon filter... but, it sure is misleading to have a search which does not go beyond letter B in the list of last names. Furthermore, I do not see a way to DISABLE Column Heading Text Area, and avoid user confusion.
I suspect that "List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values" was set for the performance purposes. Is there a way to set that number anywhere? Have it customized for each column? (columns county and state could be <100, for example)
Thanks an advance to any advice.
Vojin

@Prabodh: what you say is only changing the default image for the column selector at the search bar level. What i think is being looked for is an icon on the popup when a column header is clicked in an IR. Don't bother: there is none.
@Vojin, Tonibony:
I also ran into this problem with IRs and the useless column header box. If you want to hide the unique values list, it is a bother. First of all, you can't disable the finding of values, this is embedded in the widget ajax code. Then if you want to just hide the list, there is no real event you can hook up to. The poping up of the box is an ajax callback, and is part of the IR javascript, but this callback does not trigger any event (no apexafterrefresh for example, which is understandable). I've worked around this by overriding/extending the method which is called when ajax is done loading within the IR code. Here is a piece of code which does this (call it on page load):
   // _Finished_Loading is called when the IR is done with a GET action
   // because the posts are synchronous in this report, and no events
   // or hooks are available, the best way to preserve functionality
   // yet extending it is to override the original function, yet
   // keep the base code
   // apexafterrefresh cant be used since it is not triggered after
   // the widget ajax
   var or_Finished_Loading = gReport._Finished_Loading;
   gReport._Finished_Loading = function(){
       //overriden, but still have to call orinigal!
      or_Finished_Loading();
      //SORT_WIDGET is the widget containing all the header elements
      if(gReport.current_control=='SORT_WIDGET'){
         // hide the original dropdown box
         $("#apexir_rollover_content").hide();
   };If you're interested, i've recently developed a plugin for use in my interactive reports which works around some of these limitations. For me, the headers are much more userfriendly than the actions > filter menu. So what i've done is: hide the orignal dropdown, and turn the searchfield into an autocompletion field, which will progressively search through the distinct column values in the IR with ajax. I've even made an option to have the searching behave like a "contains" or a "like". I'm working on a post about it, with background, documentation and source code. I'll add a post here when i finish it up, you can see if that helps you.
I also would like to add a button later on which will simply add the entered value as a "like %value%" filter. I know how to do this and what to do, i'm just a bit short on time at the moment. I actually think that adding the button in the layout may be the hardest part... :')

Interactive Report - One column based on a list of values

I have an Interactive Report that's part of a Form with Report. The form works fine, but I have a problem with the interactive report. One of the fields is based on a list of values. That is, the data in the table in the State field has numeric state codes, 1 to 51. The form part has no problem with this, as it's a select list based on a list of values LOV query, so the user selects the actual name of the state.
The interactive report, however, displays the numeric codes, which is what is actually in the table. I am looking in the column definition for some way to tell it to convert the value to the state name, but I do not see it. There is a List of Values place, but that seems to be for filtering purposes instead of for return vs. display value.
3.2.

Tharpa,
I'm not sure if what I am about to suggest will work in 3.2. However, in 4.1, I am using LOVs with IRRs without any issue.
For example, if I have an address field of state code, I have a named LOV (LOV_STATE). I go into the report attributes for this column. There, I find a section named "List of Values" In here, I pick the "column filter type" of "Use Named List of Values to Filter Exact Match". (Presumably, this will work with Static List too). When the column is displayed, I see the State name displayed.

Interactive Report - Compute columns

Hi,
Interactive report query is storing in a apex view - apex_application_page_ir.
Like, if compute columns added in runtime, APEX is making a new query with compute columns. I want to know in which APEX view is having this query:
I created a Interactive report (APEX 3.2.0) for the following query:
select
"EMPNO",
"ENAME",
"JOB",
"MGR",
"HIREDATE",
"SAL",
"COMM",
"DEPTNO"
from "EMP"
In the run time, I added a compute column , now the query is as follows:
select
ROWID as apxws_row_pk,
"EMPNO",
"ENAME",
"JOB",
"MGR",
"HIREDATE",
"SAL",
"COMM",
"DEPTNO",
"SAL" *10/100 "APXWS_CC_001",
count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select
"EMPNO",
"ENAME",
"JOB",
"MGR",
"HIREDATE",
"SAL",
"COMM",
"DEPTNO"
from "EMP"
) r
) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)
order by ROWID
Regards
Mohan

it is not the sql query its all about the report_columns in apex_application_page_ir
