Oracle10g - Report Builder REFCURSOR queries

Hello,
The below link has all the steps to create a report with Ref Cusror queries http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97335_02/busint.102/a73172/bawor_re.htm
My question is in "Program Unit Editor" instead of creating a FUNCTION which returns a single REFCURSOR, is it possible to use a PROCEDURE which has 3 OUT REFCURSORS?
Thanks

Hey,
Since you manipulate the original value of
ManagedBy0 in your SELECT, the column name will change to
(No column name). I did a test on my side and look what I get.
Error : "The Value expression for the text box ‘managedBy0’ refers to the field ‘managedBy0’."
He search for a variable
ManagedBy0 in your query but don't find any because there's no name assigned.
Try to run this query. Add
AS ManagedBy0 after your REPLACE.
select all
SMS_R_System.Name0,
REPLACE(SUBSTRING(SMS_R_System.managedBy0,4,CHARINDEX(',OU',SMS_R_System.managedBy0,3)-4),'\,',',') AS ManagedBy0,
SMS_R_System.description0,
SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Caption00,
SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0,
SMS_R_System.whenCreated0,
SMS_R_System.Last_Logon_Timestamp0 from vSMS_R_System AS SMS_R_System INNER JOIN Operating_System_DATA AS SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM ON SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey INNER JOIN _RES_COLL_CAS000A9 AS SMS_CM_RES_COLL_CAS000A9 ON SMS_CM_RES_COLL_CAS000A9.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey
Let me know.

CF Report Builder - multiple queries

I am a CF developer who has worked a fair bit with coding
reports manually. Have taken the plunge with report builder and
generally like what I see, BUT am quite disappointed with an
apparent lack of documentation or tutorials on complex reporting
techniques.
I need to do a report which ideally requires two queries, the
results of which the report's purpose is to compare.
The problem is, from what I can tell, a .CFR can only have
ONE query (which I find odd). Can anyone suggest a way of being
able to have more than one query result set passed into a .CFR.
I am starting to wonder that CF Report Builder might be great
for fairly basic, single data set reports, but no good for large
complex reports. I would be interested in hearing others opinions
on this.
Many Thanks in Advance.

Thanks tmschmitt. You are right in that I am (was) stuck on
passing in multiple queries. What I have managed to do is use the
Advanced option of the query builder to write my two seperate
queries, then combine them into one recordset by doing a Query on
the Queries. Not sure if this is the best way around it, but it
seems to be working fine. Problem now is that I need to manually
craete 500+ "Query Fields" (yuk).
I haven't really delved into the sub-reports yet, but have a
feeling they won't meet my current needs. Basically i have 253
columns of demographic data. I need one recordset (A) with this
data from one geographic location with a recordset from a different
location (B). I then need to lay out the data with each field from
B beside it's corresponding field from A. In short, it is a
comparitive report whereby the reader can compare a given value
(e.g. avg income) from one area with that from another. This would
be fairly straightforward in a scripted report, but with Report
Builder appears to be quite cumbersome and potentially unmanagable
as I need to handle each field explicitly (rather than looping over
recordsets and structures to generate the different sections of the
report).

Report Builder SQL Queries - Convert CN to clear text

I am trying to customize a query in Report Builder to message values as they are delivered, and running into value expression errors.
My query returns data from the AD Computer Object "managedBy" field. The problem is that this field returns data in the format of:
CN=Security Group Name,OU=blah,OU=blah,DC=stuff,DC=com etc
I am trying to get it to return just the "Security Group" value which is much more useful. I found this great article which almost works for me: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/systemcenter/en-US/6610d238-72f2-4e75-a0cc-e1383dd8e94b/ad-system-discovery-convert-cn-to-clear-text
However, once I try to save the report in Report Builder I get:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The Value expression for the text box ‘managedBy0’ refers to the field ‘managedBy0’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified
dataset scope. Letters in the names of fields must use the correct case.
This is the original SQL query:
select all SMS_R_System.Name0,SMS_R_System.managedBy0,SMS_R_System.description0,SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Caption00,SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0,SMS_R_System.whenCreated0,SMS_R_System.Last_Logon_Timestamp0 from vSMS_R_System AS SMS_R_System
INNER JOIN Operating_System_DATA AS SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM ON SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey INNER JOIN _RES_COLL_CAS000A9 AS SMS_CM_RES_COLL_CAS000A9 ON SMS_CM_RES_COLL_CAS000A9.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey
My edited query:
select all SMS_R_System.Name0,REPLACE(SUBSTRING(SMS_R_System.managedBy0,4,CHARINDEX(',OU',SMS_R_System.managedBy0,3)-4),'\,',','),SMS_R_System.description0,SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Caption00,SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0,SMS_R_System.whenCreated0,SMS_R_System.Last_Logon_Timestamp0
from vSMS_R_System AS SMS_R_System INNER JOIN Operating_System_DATA AS SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM ON SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey INNER JOIN _RES_COLL_CAS000A9 AS SMS_CM_RES_COLL_CAS000A9 ON SMS_CM_RES_COLL_CAS000A9.MachineID
= SMS_R_System.ItemKey
Thoughts?

Multiple queries on report builder?

I know how to create a report in report builder with a single
query but in this case i would like to create a single page report
that consist of 3 sections containing results from 3 seperate
queries. how do i do something like this?

Using subreports
Subreports let you nest a report within your report. The data
you
display in a subreport is typically related to the data in
the main
report and you enable this by passing one or more subreport
parameters
to the subreport. However, the data displayed in a subreport
can also be
unrelated to the data in the main report.

How to pass an array or structure, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder as parameters

Is there a way to pass an array or structure for example as parameters, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder in CF8? I believe this was recommended by users to be in CF8.

BrianO,
Although it's been a while, I thought I'd provide the code to do this for you. It works for me in CF8, and probably will in CF7.
Here I create a structure called My, and provide that one parameter to my CFReportParam tag.
<CFSet My = {
Client = "Client Name",
ReportDateFrom = DateFormat(ThisStartDate, DateMask),
ReportDateTo = DateFormat(ThisEndDate, DateMask),
PageHeaderImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Page_Header.png",
WatermarkImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Watermark.png",
GetBarSummary = GetBarSummary,
GetPieSummary = GetPieSummary
}>
<CFReport Template="#ReportPath#\SpendSummary.cfr" Format="PDF" Query="GetSummary">
<CFReportParam Name="My" Value="#My#">
</CFReport>
Inside the report itself, reference the given parameter as Param.My.PageHeaderImage for example. It can be referenced that way from any expression inside the report builder. You can even use the queries as the data source for charts (using the Data From a Query -> Query Builder -> Advanced) by entering "Param.My.GetPieSummary" where it says "Variable containing query object".

Dynamic queries in report builder 6i ( ref cursor query )

Hi everyone,
My requirement is that I want to create a report where the query is dynamic. The dynamic part will be known at runtime as it is being passed via a parameter. My query looks like this :
select * from emp where sal :p1 :p2
Possible values for :p1 are - '>', '<', '>=', '<=', '=', '!='
Possible values for :p2 are - any value entered by the user
I tried creating a query in report builder based on a ref cursor. But it does not allow me to create the query for the ref cursor dynamically. That means I have to hardcode the query in the program.
I tried using place holder columns without success.
Can someone please help me ?
Regards,
Al

Hi,
You can use lexical paramters in the sql query
x - char - parameter
select * from emp &x
you need to pass the value for x in the parameter as
'where sal < 1234'.
Note : Lexical variable should be of char datatype.
This is an alternative to the ref cursors.
This works. Hope this is clear.

SQL Report Builder 3.0 Automatic Scheduling feature ?

Hello All,
We have installed and commissioned a HMI SCADA solution for Shell Petroleum South Africa, We are using Copa Data Zenon for our HMI solution, Zenon's historian are writing variable values into a SQL database from where we are reading these variables with
I-net Clear Reports.
However, I net Clear Reports uses a "PLUS" license which is used for the scheduling function. The license is priced based on the amount of CPU Cores the server has and ours has 16 cores so the license is extremely expensive.
What we need :
To create a report with values from a SQL Database.
Report must be able to be scheduled, to run at specific time.
I have done some testing and used the same SQL queries we used in I-net clear reports.
SQL Report Builder 3.0 does get the variable values when you hit "run" , but it does not look like there is an automatic report scheduling function ? We want to execute a daily , weekly & monthly report.
Does a Scheduling feature exist ?? Please advise
I would highly appreciate your assistance.
Regards.
Paul
Automation Engineer

Hello，
Report Builder 3.0 is just a report authoring tool.You can design and preview the report with Report Builder,or you can publish your report to a report server or a report server in SharePoint integrated mode, where others can run it. There is no schedule
running function in Report Builder which can processing the report automatically.
SQL Server Reporting Services Standard edition or high edition support email and file share subscriptions and scheduling. You can create subscriptions that can automatic running the report based on a schedule(daily , weekly or monthly ) and send reports
to a shared folder or to an e-mail address.

New to oracle report builder

Dear all;
Please pardon me. I am new to oracle report builder and I am trying to accomplish the following. First and foremost please find my pl/sql queries below. Kindly note, all the queries have been tested and I just need to be able to input those queries into the report builder. Thank you.
create or replace package test1 is
type r_cursor is ref cursor;
function report(company_name in varchar2) return r_cursor;
end test1;
create or replace package body test1 is
function report(company_name in varchar2) return r_cursor as
my_r_cursor r_cursor;
begin
if(company_name = 'ALL COMPANIES') THEN
open my_r_cursor for
select t.t_id, t.t_description from t1 t;
return my_r_cursor;
elsif(company_name != 'ALL COMPANIES') THEN
open my_r_cursor for
select t.t_id, t.t_description from t1 t
where t.t_id = company_name;
return my_r_cursor;
end if;
end;
end test1;
create table t1
t_id varchar2(200) not null,
t_description varchar2(250),
primary key(t_id)
insert into t1
(t_id, t_description)
values
('CITI', 'PROFIT: 2.2Billion');
insert into t1
(t_id, t_description)
values
('GE', 'PROFIT: 1Billion');
insert into t1
(t_id, t_description)
values
('JPMORGAN','PROFIT: 0');Now, I am trying to create a simple report in oracle report builder. The interface for generating for this report is basically, there is a dropdownlist where by the user picks a company name from the dropdownlist and clicks on the go button, this should then generate a report with the above query shown in the package. How can this be achieved? All help will greatly be appreciated.

Hi,
first of all you need strong typed ref cursor, oracle reports need to detect witch are the columns returned by your cursor.
so first you create your package
create or replace package test1
as
TYPE t_record IS RECORD ( company_number PLS_INTEGER--TABLE_NAME.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE
, company_desc VARCHAR2(150)--TABLE_NAME.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE
TYPE T_REF_CURSOR IS REF CURSOR RETURN t_record;
procedure report(company_name in varchar2 ,cur_out OUT t_ref_cursor) ;
end test1;
show errors
create or replace package body test1
is
procedure report(company_name in varchar2 ,cur_out OUT t_ref_cursor)
is
my_r_cursor T_REF_CURSOR;
begin
if(company_name = '1')
THEN
open my_r_cursor for
select 1 as t_id, 'description' ast_description from dual
else
open my_r_cursor for
select 2 as t_id, 'description2' as t_description from dual
end if;
end;
end test1;
show errors
then, in your report you create a ref cursor query :
function QR_1RefCurDS
return test1.t_ref_cursor
is
C_return test1.t_ref_cursor;
begin
test1.report(1,C_return);
RETURN(C_return) ;
end;
hope this helps you !

Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.48.18 to Report Builder

Hi,
I'm new to using oracle tools but have a background in SSRS. I need some help getting discover queries/data into report builder
I've been asked to develop some reports based on oracle discoverer and while I have the queries running I want to bring them all together using report builder to save running them individually each morning. From googling it seems the easiest way is to export the discover results as XML and then open it in report builder. However, when I try to export from discoverer xml is not an option. Has anyone seen this before or have an advice on how to get the option enabled.
Both discoverer and reports builder are installed on my PC
Many thanks

Data links Questions on Reports Builder

We are currently using Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0. We are trying to create a topology report. So, we have about 5 queries in the data models which are linked using a query links with Child Destination column in the child query.
So, here is the example:
Q1 --> Q2 (joined with Q1 child) --> Q3 (joined with Q2 child) --> Q4 (joined with Q3 child)--> Q5 (joined with Q4 child).
So, the problem we are experiencing is when Q2 has same child twice, the Q2 query is actually sending the same child id to Q3 twice (or however many times its repeating). Is there any way to distinct the child so we get only one child sent to Q3?
Here is an example:
Q1
Parent Child
A1 B1
A2 B2
A3 B3
Q2
Parent Child
B1 C1
B1 C2
B2 C1
Q3
Parent Child
C1 D1
C1 D1
C2 D3
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edited by: user613427 on Dec 12, 2011 1:17 PM

You are on the right track, here is how our structure looks like:
Query1
Street, City
Query 2
City, State
Query 3
State, Country
And Queries are linked using group links.
Here is an example:
Query 1 results:
Street1 City1
Street1 City2
Query 2 results:
City1 State1
City1 State2
City2 State3
City2 State1
Query 3 results:
State1 Country1
State1 Country1
State2 Country4
State3 Country5
Note: example is not realistic, i know. just wanted to give you picture.
So, the repeating frame for Query3 gets Stateid from Query2 one by one rather than collect it and distinct it, hence the duplicates. I hope this explains it.

How to use special characters in Report Builder

Hi everyone,
I wonder if you guys can help me. I'm trying to change our Invoice hearders from English to Portuguese. Eg, I've changed this English heading
("FOR ACCOUNT QUERIES CONTACT") to this Portuguese heading ("PARA CONSULTAS DE CONTA CONTACTE"). So when I'm done, my entire invoice will be in Portuguese. This works fine, until I get special characters in some of the Portuguese translations. I can copy and paste the translations with special characters into Report Builder. But when I print the invoice in Oracle Apps (with a PDF output), the special characters get replaced with a "?".
Here's an example:
< "Line No" should read "Linha nº" but it prints out as "Linha n?" > Does anybother know how I can resolve this? I'm using Report Builder: 10.1.2.3.0 on Oracle Apps: 11.5.10.2 and RDBMS : 10.2.0.4.0
Thank you in advance

Hi,
You need to have Portuguese font installed on your machine, if you are running the report from your machine or else if you are running the same from report server then the font has to be there on the server font dir.

How to change sql server reports parameter direction in report builder 3.0

Hi All,
I have created few reports using Report Builder 3.0 with the data source as SharePoint list. i have created a web part page and added the ".rdl"
file, everything is working as expected. Later, i got a requirement to add a parameter to the report , i did that and when i ran the report in SharePoint page, the parameters shows right side and the parameter ribbon shows the dropdown control on top and "Apply
button" at the bottom. When i presented this to my manager, he says the parameter ribbon looks bad and suggested to put both the controls together and also instead of displaying at right side vertical, display it horizontal.
I have below queries
How can i change the direction of parameter ribbon from vertical to horizontal
How can i bring the controls together (e.g. dropdown list control and button)
How can i add buttons on the report in report builder 3.0
How to get/reflect the data in report without refreshing the page.
Can someone please guide me, how to achieve the above functionalities..
MercuryMan

Unfortunately, where the parameters are located and the button distance away from the parameters are not something you can customize. Here are the options available for customization:

Error While Opening JSP in Report Builder converted from RDF

Hi,
I am using Oracle reports 9i to convert rdf into jsp and invoke this jsp using OC4J to get HTML report.
The problem i am facing is that while converting RDF to JSP conversion went on successfull but when iam trying to open the JSP in Report builder it gives me error REP-2: Unable to retrieve string from message file.
When i want to see the paper layout it is not present and datamodel is also corrupted. In the data model sources for some fileds become null and one addtional group is appearing with no column in it.
Urgent help is needed.
For any help Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sanjay Tripathi

Hello Sanjay,
There are some known issues in Reports 9i due to which XML/JSP reports do not open correctly in Builder, and throw the REP-0002 error. These bugs are currently being looked into, and will be addressed soon.
1. If your report is using ref cursor queries, and you are hitting the above error, please ensure you connect to a database before you open the report.
2. If your report has summary/formula columns, please try to create the JSP report without these columns and then try to open it in Builder.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Does this procedure return the resultset as a REF CURSOR?
Having not worked on Report builder, I am not sure if this error is related to calling of procedure itself.

Dynamic Query in Report Builder

HI
I have a doubt:
I need to receive a parameter in my report and I need this parameter in the query, that means, I need to create a dynamic query depending on the value that I receive in one of the parameters that has my report.
I tried to use the resource of Searching by Reference Cursor tool, it is a blue circle in the Data Model View of Report Builder.
When I click this tool, I have an initial code, It is:
function QR_1RefCurDS return <RefCurType> is
begin
end;
In PL/SQL I tried to create to test and to play, this code:
Note: If you want to try only to test, it is simple and works:
create or replace package TEST_REFCURTYPE as
type refcurtype is ref cursor;
function TEST_REFCURTYPE (P_DATE_TO nvarchar2) return refcurtype;
end;
create or replace package body TEST_REFCURTYPE as
function TEST_REFCURTYPE (P_DATE_TO nvarchar2)
return refcurtype is
refcur refcurtype;
mysql varchar(1000);
begin
If P_DATE_TO is not null then
mysql := 'select '''|| P_DATE_TO ||''' from dual';
else
mysql := 'select sysdate from dual';
end if;
open refcur for mysql;
return refcur;
end;
end;
The problem is to pass this example of code to the function QR_1RefCurDS, I do not have a place to make reference to the type:
type refcurtype is ref cursor;
I tested the Unit Program in the Report Builder but it did not work, because all the code I try to write and create, for example in the Event BEFORE REPORT, it opens  Funcion( ) …., and I can not make reference to the type refcurtype inside a Function( ).
Would you help me please?
Or there is another way to make a dynamic query in the Report Builder?
Sorry for my English, I am a Brazilian living in Spain.

Hi,
you can use lexical parameters in your queries. Instead of a ":" use in the query before the parameter a "&". Then the parameter stands for a part of the query and not for a value (Bind parameter). In the before report trigger you can set this parameters. They can contain parts of SQL like order or where. Make sure that the default value for this lexical parameters are set to get a valid query.
SELECT ENAME, &p_column as COL2 FROM EMP &p_order
and in the trigger something like
IF :p_which_column = 1 THEN
:p_column := 'SAL'
ELSE
