Parent/Child Report

I have a parent/child data report but am not seeing the data for the child portion. I have a repeating frame which is printing the parent portion. Within that frame I have another repeating frame which should be displaying the child portion of the data but it is not. I have a data link between the two based on an id number. I think the problem is that the child portion is not being passed the id number from the parent. I have some field names which are showing up, but not the data itself associated with these field names. So I think my frames in my layout are good. Why is the parent not passing the id number to the child? I'm thinking there must be something wrong with my data model. Any suggestions on creating this type of report?

Thanks for your suggestion. In looking at this some more I see now that the queries are finding my data, but the data is not printing. Simply put, my parent query has student name & number, my child query has attendance dates for that student. The parent portion is working fine with the student name & number appearing on the report, but my child attendance dates are not showing on the report. The repeating frame in which they reside is also not showing. I know the queries are pulling the right data though, because the number of pages I am getting for each student corresponds to that student's attendance data. But the entire frame and data within it are not showing on my report. I have checked to see that the Visible value is set to Yes. Does anyone know what I am overlooking?

User defined Parent child report

I trying to create parent child (dril down report).
I able to refer parent column as bind variable in child report but unable to refer child column as bind variable in subsequent child report.
select a,b from parent.
select x,y,z from child1
where x = :a
select e,f,g from child2
where e = :x ==> this does not work
Did anyone tried this, if yes please me know did it worked for you and how
thanks
-K

I agree whole heartedly :)
If you want to make things even more interesting, create some 3rd generation child reports and carry the bind variables throughout the multiple levels - here's an example

Creating a new page and new layout in a Parent/Child report.

Hi,
Currently I have a Parent/Child Report in Oracle Reports 6i. The report shows Contracts as the parent and the detail of the contracts are the Ads. Sometimes there are many ads which extend the contract to another page. Just a normal Parent/Child report. This report can display many contracts at once. My problem is that at the end of each contract I need a new page with a different layout, for a disclaimer page. I've tried many different scenarios using Anchors and page breaks. Is this even possible with Oracle Reports 6i, to have a new page with a different layout in a contract level repeating frame? Any suggestions would help.
Thanks.

You have 2 repeating frames: R_contracts and R_ads. Create a frame M_disclaimer after R_ads, within R_contracts to hold the disclaimer page. This page will print after all the ad records have been printed, and before the new contract starts.
You can set Page Break Before on M_disclaimer to print this frame on a new page.

Defining Report LayOut for a parent child report

I have a parent child report. I want to print this report in PDF using BI Publisher. Now I wanted to define a layout for that report using BI template builder. My stratagey for defining Report layuout is
1. Write a query containing all fields that I need
2. Convert that query data to XML, one way or the other
3. Load that XML into template builder.
4. Define the layout.
Now the problem is that I need some fields for parent and some from child. If I do not use group buy clause in the query I will not be able to use the tabular format in template builder (taht I wanted to use).
IF I use a group By caluse then I am unable to select the child fields as they are not the part of group by clause.

Parent/child reporting

Hello all,
I am struggling a bit with a reporting requirement and maybe you as experts can help me to come up with a solution.
In a report we want to show the turnover of (parent/global) accounts based on a custom field 'expected turnover' in the Opportunity object type. We can show this of course per account, so that's not the problem. The problem is that we want to calculate all the expected turnover for the account in the top of the account hierarchy. We have for example company A (headquarters), which is parent of B, which in turn is the parent of C, which is the parent of D and E. We can do business with all the companies, so they can all have opportunities with the field 'expected turnover' filled out.
Example:
Company D has 1 opportunity with an expected turnover of 1,200,000 and another opportunity with an expected turnover of 500,000.
Company E has 2 opportunities, each with an expected turnover of 450,000
Company C has one opportunity with an expected turnover of 200,000
Company B has 1 opportunity with an expected turnover of 1,350,000 and an opportunity with an expected turnover of 750,000.
Company A has no opportunities at the moment.
Now we want to report on the total expected turnover for the entire company of which A is headquarters. So we want to know E+D+C+B, but only company B is directly linked to company A, so the question is, how can we report using the indirect links between all the companies.
We cannot change the account structure, so we cannot say that Company A is the parent on all the accounts. Also we cannot add a field to the account that can select the master account, because there is only one field which allows the user to select another account, and putting the master account or parent account in manually, leaves too much room for errors.
Does anyone know how this can be solved?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Niels Rekers

Niels,
I know you said you didn't want to put in the master account manually but I think it's the only way. However what if you created a Parent Reporting ID, this will avoid any mistypes of account names? Create a unique identifier for each record and then for those that have a parent account overwite the unique ID with the Parent Id eg
Company A Parent ID=1234
Company B Parent ID=1234
Company C Parent ID=1234 etc
This would then give you a field that will link your records together without affecting the Account heirarchy.
Either this or a very long formula that would need modifying every time an account was created.
These are my only suggestions.
To maintain this going forwards you create a new "create account" weblink that passes the Parent ID onto the new record, so if they want to create a new account for company F then they go to Company A and click create Account.
A good way to get a unique ID is to take the last 6 characters of the Row ID into another field as a default value.
cheers

Child reports for a PL/SQL Parent?

Hi forum,
I would like to create a parent-child report based on a given package.
Unfortunately I (guess I )need to have a PL/SQL DBMS Output parent, and I'm searching to create a child based on some rows of this.
a slightly simplified example:
I have a type and a package with a procedure & function (I can not change the package):
create or replace TYPE         SimpleStringArrayType AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(2000);
create or replace PACKAGE MyPackage AS
procedure get_filelist(vReturnArray OUT SimpleStringArrayType);
function get_file(filename in varchar2) return clob;
My idea is to get a list of filenames with procedure get_filelist in the parent report, and in the child report I show the content of the file according to function get_file.
the current PL/SQL script is (simplified)
DECLARE
VRETURNARRAY SimpleStringArrayType;
v_cnt number:=0;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('<html><body>');
GET_filelist(vReturnArray => VRETURNARRAY);
v_cnt:=VRETURNARRAY.count;
dbms_output.put_line('<br>');
dbms_output.put_line('<table>');
dbms_output.put_line('<tr> <th><th>file</th>');
for i in VRETURNARRAY.first..VRETURNARRAY.last loop
    dbms_output.put_line(' <tr>');
    dbms_output.put_line('<td> ' || VRETURNARRAY(i) || ' </td> ');
    dbms_output.put_line(' </tr>');
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line('</table></body></html>');
END;
again, I can't change get_filelist to a function.
Any suggestion is highly welcome!
Martin

And syntax (basic or otherwise) is covered in the pl/sql manual:

Child reports and bind variables

I'm working on a user defined parent/child report. What I'm having an issue with is using a parents bind variable value in a child. To simpify my example:
The master query is:
select count(*), document
from download_audit
where activity_date > sysdate-:DAYS
group by document
which returns a count of downloads for each document in the last :DAYS days. I want the child report to then list the person that downloaded a selected document:
select document, user_id, activity_date from download_audit
where activity_date > sysdate - :DAYS
and document=:DOCUMENT
This does not work because the initial :DAYS bind isn't sent to the child.
If I add the :DAYS as a selected column to the master sql it works. e.g.
select count(*), document, :DAYS days
from download_audit
where activity_date > sysdate-:DAYS
group by document
My question is, do child bind variables all have to be selected columns in the master query or is there a way to have a "global" bind variable that gets carried from master to child?
I'm using SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 on OS X Lion

How to output the outline parent-child relationship using a report script?

I'd like to extract the outline's dimension members with it's parent-child relationship using a report script. Anybody can provide a sample script? Thanks.
Example:
DimensionX
-----MemberX
----------ChildX
Output:
Dimension X MemberX
MemberX ChildX
Edited by: obelisk on Jan 11, 2010 5:16 PM

Sorry a report script won't do it. You have two options
1. Use at Essbase Outline API to walk the outline and get it for you
2. Use the Outline extractor available from Applied Olap (it is a free download). It can be run interactively of as a bat file.
Frankly, I would rather use 2 since I don't have to code it myself

Parent-Child-Grandchild report

Hi,
I am trying to create a Parent-Child-Grandchild report, grouping on a value in the Child record set. The scenario that I have encountered is that there may be legitimate dupes in the child record set and if I put a grouping on the child record set the dupes seem to be getting de-duped and all the grandchild records displyed under the one child record. The outout looks like this:
Ungrouped
Parent record 1
----Child Record 1
------------Grandchild record 1
----Child Record 2
------------Grandchild record 2
Grouped
Parent record 1
----Child Record 1 - Grouped by Status
------------Grandchild record 1
------------Grandchild record 2
Desired Output
Parent record 1
- Grouped by Status
----Child Record 1
------------Grandchild record 1
----Child Record 2
------------Grandchild record 2
If I take the grouping off the child record set however, the dupes display and display their respective grandchild records. How can I get the cild recordset to group but to show the grandchild records properly?
Thanks!

How to go back to the parent report to a particular page from Child report in SSRS

Hi,
I am utilizing the Drill through functionality in one of my SSRS Report.
My Parent Report contains 5 pages. From 1st page I am selecting a link which goes to my Child report.
Here from my child report I want to provide a link to go back to my parent report's and it should render 3rd (it should show 3rd) page in parent report.
How to specify this ? Give your inputs as soon as possible.
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar,
After testing the issue in my environment, we can refer to the steps below to achieve your requirement.
Right-click a report item to open the properties dialog in Child report, click Action in the left pane.
Enable Go to URL action, the URL below is for your reference:
="http://server_name/ReportServer?/folder_name/parent_report_name&rc:Section=3”
When you click the textbox in the Child report, it jumps to the Parent report in the third page.

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Link to Child Webi report from Parent Webi report

Hi All,
I have child link for webi report in my parent webi report.
But, when i click on URL for child report, its again asking for logon credentials.
Is there any way to avoid asking logon credentials, instead it should pick credentials from parent.
Please reply.
Thanks,
Bhanu

Hi
If your link contains different host that is, after clicking the link if you want to redirect to another document with another BO server that time you have to supply credential (Login info of this server).
Case of same server no need to supply credential.
Thanks

Filter child report based on filters in the parent report

My requirement is as follows:
I have two reports, parent and child. Parent report just shows Account Name, Time Spent on Account and it's percentage, so when you click on Account Name, child report is displayed filtered based Account Name and it shows the breakdown in time-spent i.e. different Project Types. So I am filtering Parent reports using Column Prompts(namely Date Range, Task Status, Project Status). So far this works fine. Now when I drill down on Account Name, child report displaying total time spent which I don't need. Child report should get filtered based filter values in the Parent report.
Can someone please help me out of this situation.
Thanks in Advance.

Hey,
This is tricky to trouble shoot. Firstly ensure all of your child report columns are set to 'Is Prompted' through the filter and try again. If this doesn't work then open your parent report and save another copy (also make sure things are 'Is Prompted' in your new copy and make sure your Intitial parent report navigation points to your new parent report). Drill from the initial parent report to the new one you just created, if this works and filters then build out your new parent report with all the fields you need to eventually become your new child report.
Thanks
