Panel Dashboard - Print Behaviour with Flash Charts

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and have a Panel Dashboard which contains a set of Dashboard Panels. Within these Dashboard panels I display Flash Charts. I have a user request to be able
to print this page out in a neat format.
I thought I could make use of the showPrintablePage functionality, but this doesnt seem to work when charts are rendered in a Flash Format.
At the moment the best workaround I can think for this is to add a check box to the Dashboard which is "Show as Images" which will reload the Dashboard and show each panel as a PNG. Users can then right click and save out images as they require.
Can anyone suggest a better workaround to this problem?
Thanks

Hi Shay,
I get an odd looking page (page template is including) - I think the problem could be because I make use of the af:inlineFrame tag to call charts from another view project. I suspect content from an IFRAME is not getting rendered. I'm guessing there would be no workaround to this?

Printing problems with Flash Players 10.1 and 10.2

I'm having problems when printing "lengthy" reports under Flash Players 10.1 and 10.2. (By "lengthy" I mean 15+ pages, but it seems dependent on the content of the pages.)
Symptoms: On OS X with Safari (with debug Player 10.2) I get timeout errors. On Windows with IE (regular Flash Player 10.2), the system crawls to almost a halt, heavy CPU and memory usage. With Firefox on Windows, the Flash Player will crash. A user with Player 10.1 on Windows also reports The Flash Player crashing in Firefox (he has 8GB of RAM).
The reports print fine under Flash Player 10.0
There was an earlier post here about what seems like the same issue. (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3486765)
There is a bug report (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-6087), but so far no response from Adobe.
I'm surprised about how few reports there are about the issue, which makes me think it may be my code. (But it worked under 10.0.)
I'd be interested to know if others are experiencing the problem.
Better still, if anyone has any tips on how to resolve the issue.

This is rediculous. I have an application in use by thousands of students, and their teachers are supposted to be able to print login sheets for their classroom. This was functioning fine for years, and now with the latest player upgrades, it's failing to print or printing only a few of the total pages. I'm even seeing it print one additional page each time... first successfully printing 3 pages, then 4, then 5, when printing with adobe acrobat to PDF. What happened? What is this talk of timeouts when printing? I'm not getting any error messages, it's just completing the file and displaying the PDF with only 4 of the 15 or 20 pages that Flash should have sent to the printer.

Fail to print pdf with flash(updated)

Hi, all,
I open a pdf with flash in adobe reader.
I want to print it, but it doesn't get the result as what I see in adobe reader.
It seems that the flash has an animation, and the printer capture the image before the animation is finished.
Did I post the discussion in the right forums?
And if you need more information, tell me please.
Thanks

You asked in the correct forum, but it appears that no-one knows the answer.
I know that there were some problems printing Flash content, but I do not know how Flash Player integrates into Adobe Reader - if it uses the installed plugin, or if it uses its own plugin.

Using 'Function Returning SQL Query' with Flash charts

I have created a pl/sql function that returns a SQL query as a varchar2 of this form:
select null link
<x value> value
<Series1 y value> Series 1 Label
<Series2 y value> Series 2 Label
<Series3 y value> Series 3 Label
from tablea a
join tableb b
on a.col = b.col
order by <x value>
If I now call the function from a Flash Chart Series SQL box with the Query Source Type set to 'Function Returning SQL Query' like this:
return functionname(to_date('30-sep-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy'))
it parses correctly and the page is saved; however, when I run the page I don't get any output - nor any error messages or other indication of a problem.
Now, if I call the function in a SQL client, capture the SQL query output using dbms_output and paste that into the Flash Chart Series SQL box - changing the Query Source Type to SQL Query - and save the page it works fine when I run it and returns a multi-series flash chart.
Can anyone suggest either;
1. What have I might have missed or done wrong?
2. Any way to usefully diagnose the problem...
I have tried using the Apex debugger - which is very nice, by the way - but it doesn't provide any info on what my problem might be. I even tried writing my own debug messages from my function using the apex_debug_message package - got nothing...
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Try expressing the source as this:
begin
return functionname(to_date('30-sep-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy'));
end;That works fine for me, and if I take out the begin-end and the trailing semicolon from the return statement I get the same behavior as you.
It does mention in the help for the source (only during the wizard though) that this source type has to be expressed that way, but I agree it would be helpful if the tool would validate for this format when 'Function Returning SQL Query' is used or give some sort of indication of the trouble. Anyway, this should get you going again.
Hope this helps,
John

Passing values to iframed page with flash chart.

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically generate a series of charts within a sql report.
In my report i make several calls to a page with a (flash) chart and i pass some values to this page/chart by setting page items through the source url of the iframe.
The problem is that all the iframed instances of the page in my report display the same data although each iframe sets specific page item values through its source url.
(only the page item values that were set by the last call to the page are being used by all the other chart instances)
So why does this happen?
Are the iframed charts rendered to slow?
Is this a flash problem?
Should i call each iframe within a seperate session?
And does anyone know how to correctly pass values to the iframed page / chart so each instance of the page/chart displays the correct data?
Thanks
Niels

Solved my problem by leaving the SESSION part blank in the src url of the iframe.
Apex creates a new session for every iframe now, the page items values are not overwritten and the data is displayed correctly.

Problem with flash chart

I'm trying to create a flash chart graphic, type Gauges, without success. When I try to run the apex hangs. I've tried to install Adobe Shockwave Player, but with it installed instead of the graphic image appears only the graphic url.
Any idea?

I found the problem.
The attributes gauge:major interval and minor interval are defined default as 2 and 1.
After redefintion, the problem disapears.

Flash Chart Printing Help

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding printing of a flash chart region. I created flash charts using several chart series of pl/sql code that are functions returning SQL queries (generates my dynamic SQL query).
We have our printing configured to use BI Publisher and works with report regions, but how do I have this functionality for flash charts?
I attempted going down the route of creating report layouts using report queries, but when specifying the source query, it only allows SQL and no option for functions returning SQL queries (does not let me use PL/SQL code). Is there a solution for this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Luis

Link to a page that will branch to different pages based on a page item that is sent via the chart link.
For example:
Create Page 220 with an hidden item P220_TABLE.
On Page 220 create a branch to the page for your 'COMPANIES' table with a condition of Value of Item / Column in Expression 1 = Expression 2, Expression 1: P220_TABLE, Expression 2: COMPANIES
Create additional branches for each table page.
Go back and edit your chart series and edit the Action Link fields.
Action Link: Link to Custom Target
Target: Page in this Application
Page: +220+
Request: BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT
Name--
Item 1: P53_TABLE Value: +#LABEL#+

Flash charts are not displaying on APEX 4.2 - using HTML5 works fine

Hi
I have a problem with flash charts on APEX 4.2.
When I try to prepare simplest chart (Flash) I don't see any charts. on IE8,9,10 I see empty region and page is still loading. Using FF page is still loading but I don't see even empty frame/place for chart.
Other regions are visible but page is still loadng (on status bar I see message: "waiting for respons and page URL).
When I switch to HTML5 charts everything works fine (on newer browsers IE10,FF)
How to debug above?
Thank you for any help.

Flash Chart Width

Hello,
I would like to dynamically set the width of a flash chart, as the number of columns I display may vary a lot.
Is there a way to do that ?
Actually, I set a fixed width in the chart attributes, and I imagine that it is used in the #WIDTH# tag in the region source.
Christophe

I have the same problem with flash chart. In fact, no matter what I set for the chart width, it always displays up to 15 bars. 15 must be a default but I don't know where I can change it.
In SVG chart, I can change the data point limit (default is also 15) to something larger. How can I do that in flash chart? Ideally, the chart should automatically scale the bar width based on the number of data points.

I think it is quite clear where the fault lies, and it is obvous the fault lies with Adobe when you have a hundred people across many different PC configurations having the same issue that I had after installing the latest version of Flash. This is the typical argument the companies want to take when something goes wrong. Always blame the PC user even when the user followed the instructions to the letter had all the latest drivers. And it's mighty strange that I and a lot of people I know did not, and never had a problem with flash player until we installed version 10.3. As for fixing the problem, it took another user on here to tell me how to fix it. No one from Adobe bothered to provide the solution.
I can see that it is pointless continuing to explain any further the problems with attempting to configure flash to fit all of the myriad of pc's in the world.
But I will try one last time to get you to understand that this forum is not run by Adobe staff members, it is run by volunteers like you and I. That is why no one from Adobe bothered.

Tip: Flash Chart without values displayed

Hi people,
I have no question but a Tip.
Some weeks ago I was lokking for a possibility to get a Stacked Bar Flash Chart.
At first I have choosen the 2D-Chart. But in this Chart the values are always be displayed and by using the XML-settings and the CSS-Settings it wasn't possible to hide the displayed values. The values are always displaed in a way like this: value 2.123243. In every bar and in every different area of the bars.
So I was playing around some days to hide the values and I was almost was getting mad and my boß was getzting angry about it...
But the next day I tried the 3D-Charts to see what will happen... and that's it! The Charts will be displayed in exactly that wayI need.
So my Tip: If you need nice Charts good to use, please take the 3D-Charts. Thats works.
And if you want to see whats going on with Flash Charts in APEX 4.0 take a look an [http://www.anychart.com]
Thats really nice! I'm really impatiently waiting for it!!!!
Have a nice eve!
René
P.S.: Thanx for all Bernhard and Maik! :D
Edited by: René on 17.11.2008 10:57
This is not a question! :-)

I have someone that was able to remove the value from showing on the 2d stacked bar graphs but they don't remember how they did it. Ever since they they found out they just copy the same graph. I tried the same in another schema and could not get the same result. I compared the xml, the chart template and could not find out how they hid the values. I don't like the 3d as the colors look much nicer to 2d. any suggestions.

Print panel to printer.vi

I cannot get the Print Panel to Printer.vi to recognize that a VI contained in a lvlib (LV8) is actually loaded into memory. This VI exposes the VIPrintPanelToPrinter function from the labview.exe file and the first arg is a string that represents the VI name. It will not work if I pass "Library Name.lvlibome VI to Print.vi" as an argument. I get error 1004 - the VI is not in memory. If I save the exact same VI as "Some VI to Print.vi" and call the Print Panel to Printer.vi with "Some VI to Print.vi", everythine is fine. Also, I understand that this function call into labview.exe is how "File->Print" is called from the LabVIEW menu - at least it used to be. So, can someone tell me how to represent the VI name passed into Print Panel to Printer.vi when the VI I want to print is in a lvlib?
Thanks

JLS,
Thanks
for the interest in my question - I also posed this question to NI and
the application engineer sent this as part of his
reply
"As you know, lvlibs are
brand new in LabVIEW 8, and the VIPrintPanelToPrinter function is quite
ancient and hasn't been commonly used since the introduction of VI
Server. Based off of our initial investigation, it appears that the
VIPrintPanelToPrinter function does not have the infrastructure to
accommodate lvlibs and I have created a bug report for R&D to
investigate this issue further and to attempt to fix it for future
releases."
So the short answer is it can't be done. But
does anybody have a way they handle print dialogs (which is why I want
to use the Print Panel to Printer.vi - it can open a native Windows
print dialog) that works for them? I would be curious to see how
others do it.
The way I have solved
this in the past (not because of LabVIEW 8 but because my print dialog
needed additional options, was to create my own print dialog. Agreed it
does not look like the fancy XP print dialog with pretty icons for all
the printers but it does work and give my users the specific control
they need. You have two Application property nodes, one returns the
currently available printers and the other returns or sets the
currently used printer. This is enough to create a printer dialog in
which you can select the printer to use. Then have a LabVIEW front
panel setup to be the printout you want and configure it to print when
it completes. Make that VI initilialize all controls properly and then
finish. From you own print dialog call this print VI.
Takes a bit time, does not be a native print dialog (but what do you
want, most of the other option you can choose there besides of the
printer to use do not have any effect on the printing really), and it
works like a charm.

Printing (or print preview) a Pie Flash Chart in Firefox doesn't work

Hi,
my page with four flash chart in firefox doesn't work.
In IE is OK.

Are you printing from the Flash right-click menu or through Firefox? I don't think Firefox prints Flash regions when you print the entire page.

Problem with Drag and drop in panel dashboard

Hi
I am having problem with drag and drop in panel dashboard.
I will explain what i am doing.
I am using Oracle three column template in First region i am having a table that showing all customer.
I drag one record from my table and drop it on customer info (CIF) page on second region it is working fine.
my CIF page has a dashboard with 6 panel box. i am showing 6 different jsff in 6 panel box.
I put drop target in each jsff
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_customerinformation.handleItemDrop}"
actions="COPY">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
discriminant="CustomerSearchDnD"/>
</af:dropTarget>
when i put drop target my panel boxes moves only when i drag it to another panel box header not entire part of panel box.
if i remove the drop target then panel box move normally as the example given on: [http://adfui.us.oracle.com:7778/faces-trunk/faces/visualDesigns/dashboard.jspx?_afrLoop=2021391022520156&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null] but in taht case i am not able to drag and drop my data

You must be an Oracle employee as you're referring to a component in the upcoming JDeveloper version which has yet been released to the general public. Oracle employee's are, I believe, directed to post on internal Oracle forums.
