Partial Refresh from column link

Hello,
I am working on a page with two classic reports.
Report A is always displayed and has a column link which sets item Z with a value from a column in report A and then redirects the page to itself.
Report B uses item Z in his where clause and is only shown when Z is filled. This all works fine.
However I want to use Partial Page Refresh to only reload Report B instead of the whole page.
Because report A is a heavy report it can't and it won't get lighter.
So my question is how does this partial page refresh stuff work and does it improve preformance?
I think it would help if Ii don't have to load report A everytime I reload Report B.
I have found this:
Link
But it uses a selectlist and I use a hidden item and a column link. The column link does not set session state so it won't work...
Hope someone could help me out.

2. Report B is only shown when item Z is filled. But we use javascript:$S('Z',#column#) tot set is and thus the condition stays false.Report B has to be rendered on page load.
Play with the show and hide dynamic action to show report B to the user at the appropriate time.
Use CSS to hide the report on page load. Using the hide dynamic action will show the report before the dynamic action is fired. Causing a slight flicker.
As for
1. The title of the region is based on the value of item Z. Now that the session state is not updated and &Z. remains null it show null.You'll need some javascript for that. I have seen a forum post before of someone doing used that. So have a look around

Trigger "Partial Refresh" from custom javascript

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, I have two components
One Output text which loads the text from a bean.
One Button when clicked the "output text" above has to be refresehed.
I understand that using partial trigger I can achive this. But the twist here is , The Button has to trigger some custom javascript for validation. If the validation is successfull only then the Output text must be refreshed.
So I need to invoke the "Partial Refresh" from my custom javascript.
Could some one throw some light on this, how we can achieve this.
I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.

You can try using the javascript ADF API http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e12046/oracle/adf/view/js/base/AdfPage.html
AdfPage has a method addPartialTarget(...) which should you the trick.

Computation from column link

I want to know if it is possible to call a computation from a column link. If Yes, how ?
An other problem is that I want to know if it is possible to run it once. I don't want it to run before I select an other column link.
Thankx
Chantale

Computations are fired only when a page is submitted (or when it is loaded). A link (typically) doesn't submit the page, it just redirects to a different page.
You could pass some values in the link URL that you could use to conditionally fire some "onLoad before header" computations on your target page.

Link to URL from column in report

I still trying to find a way to display a static file on a report page. I have been unsuccessful with using an HTML region using #APP_IMAGES#filename.sh or using the value found in the coulmn: #APP_IMAGES#&P28_SCRIPT.
Now, I've added a link on the column of the report. The column itself contains the URL that I want to go to. For ex. http://sharepoint.bankofamerica.com/sites/GIM2000upgrade/Shared%20Documents/Supporting%20Documents/Scripts/ds_broker_gim.sh
The URL for the Link in the Column Attributes is set to : &SCRIPT_SHAREPOINT_HTML..
When I click on the column, it brings me to the APEX Logon???
I've used this URL in a List Template in a Region on a page as the Target URL and it works fine??
I'm thoroughly confused at this point.
Can anyone offer any assistance with this? It's driving me crazy and holding up any further development I need to get done????
Thank-You

Scott,
Thanks so much and it would be better just to go to the hosted site that i am prototyping. Sorry for the confusion.
What I want to do is to drill-down to the unix script file. I have upload the file: ds_broker_gim.sh to Static files. I want to be able to display the contents of this file after the drill-down from the ASE_AUTOSYS table.
If you logon to my workspace: WIM
UserName: [email protected]
Password: ireland
1. From View Application - select the Application name : CGM
2. Click on the ASE tab bringing you to p.2
3. Click on AUTOSYS tab ( Go to p.30)
4. From the AutoSys Search Select Pulldown - 5. Select 'GIM2_D_DS_CREATEBOKER_UX ' (PS is there a way to do a'smart select to scroll the list as you type?)
6. Click on the column link in Autosys_Script (it should say' /vol01/apps/gim/scripts/ds_broker_gim.sh'
7. Click on the AUTOSYUS_SCRIPT column
8. Brings you to p.28 where I'm various things to get the shared file to display.
Note: I added the field: SCRIPT_FILE to the table AUTOSYS_SCRIPTS as a CLOB. I thought, well If I can't get it via an URL or as a static document- let me try storing the code in a clob field. As you can see, I'm having no success in displaying the ontents of the static file or contents of the column field.
Also note that on P.2, I have include the URL in a List Tmplate : 'Document's. When i click on this, it does go to the URL. You won't be able to use this as it is located in our firewall but at least it work but not what I want.
If you could help me with this, I would be very gratefult to you. I'm ploying away doing this on own and certainly I've got a lot to learn but at the same time I've managed to get quite a bit done.
Thankks so much for your help. I hope I've explained this better.

URGENT Printing a BI publisher report from a column link in APEX

I am developing an APEX report with a column link that will call a BI publisher report, the case is the link column in the APEX report will pass the item number to the BI publisher query.
At the moment this is what I am doing:
1- Create a hidden item on top of page zero. (e.g. PARAM1_VALUE)
2- Create a report query and a report layout (For BI Publisher) in the Shared Components. (e.g ITEM_REPORT)
3- Include the state session in the report query and reference that item in the query. (e.g. SELECT * FROM items where item_number = :PARAM1_VALUE)
4- Create an APEX report displaying orders with the item number as a link column.
5- In the Link column I set the report URL request to be "PRINT_SERVER=ITEM_REPORT".
6- In addition I set the PARAM1_VALUE to be #ITEM_NUMBER# on the link.
When I press on the link the BI publisher report prints but it doesn't display anything except the Headers, my understanding is that PARAM1_VALUE is not set with the item_number value when I press on the link and thus the query returns no results as when I remove the condition from the query i can see the report printing.
Please help as this is urgent

I opened the session and it is there with a proper value, it appears that whenever I enable the inclusion of session state in my shared components query the query returns no rows even if I am not using the item in the query.
So if my query is "SELECT * FROM items" it will display nothing, the only way to get the report data back is to untick the inclusion of the session state and remove any reference to the item from my query, then I will get the report with all my data (which is NOT what I am trying to do).
Thanks alot

Need to invoke a process from a column link and then redirect to a url

Is it possible to invoke a process from a column link then redirect to a url
I want to invoke a process that has a pl sql block of code which will do some table inserts and then redirect the user to an external url.
Any help would be appreciated.

Howdy Scott,
I thought this might help me but I've got a dynamic form with apex_application.g_f01(i) items on it ie tabular form. How can I take the value of these arrays with me to the temporary page with the onload process?
Thanks

Any way to export several columns from the Links panel?

This was originally posted to the InDesign forum, was suggested there might be a script that could achieve this?
Working on a textbook with hundreds of illustrations. Each Chapter has up to 100. Need to get several columns of data (file name and page # that it appears on) exported from the Links Panel (in sorted order) so they can be dropped into a spreadsheet. I am using TextWrangler which will dump out all the filenames in a folder, but it sorts alphabetically and I really want them sorted by the Page Numbers where they appear.

This script creates a CSV file on the desktop that you can import in Excel. The file name is the same as the name of active indesign document.
Kasyan
var scriptName = "Generate list of links";
if (app.documents.length == 0) ErrorExit("No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.");
var page, allGraphics, graphic;
var text = "File name;Page\r";
var doc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < doc.pages.length; i++) {
     page = doc.pages[i];
     allGraphics = page.allGraphics;
     for (var k = 0; k < allGraphics.length; k++) {
          graphic = allGraphics[k];
          if (graphic.itemLink != null) {
               text += graphic.itemLink.name + ";" + page.name +"\r";
WriteToFile(text);
//-------------------------------------- FUNCTIONS ---------------------------------------------
function WriteToFile(text) {
     var theFile = new File("~/Desktop/" + GetFileNameOnly(doc.name) + ".csv");
     theFile.open("w");
     theFile.write(text);
     theFile.close();
function ErrorExit(error, icon) {
     alert(error, scriptName, icon);
     exit();
function GetFileNameOnly(myFileName) {
     var myString = "";
     var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
     if (myResult == -1) {
          myString = myFileName;
     else {
          myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
     return myString;

Calling a .rdf report from a link on a apex report column

Hi,
I want to call a xxx.rdf report from a link on a apex report column.
Can anyone help me on this ?
Best regards,
JCN

Hi,
Sorry - I should have read a bit further in your last post!
The url variable that you're defining should just be the URL string that you want to create, so you only need the "http://........" part. There's also a + missing after the "&TODT..." string.
The "DEA_PERMIT_ID=&G_PERMIT_ID." part at the end should have an & at the start to indicate a new parameter in the URL. Otherwise, &G_PERMIT_ID. would be replaced by the value stored in the session for the G_PERMIT_ID item (presumably that is an Application Item?).
So:
function callPopup()
var url = "'http://snapper.accsp.org/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=PDF&report=edr_landings_dollars_by_vessel.rdf&userid=evtr_report/chicken99@safis&FROMDT=" + $v("P810_FROM") + "&TODT=" + $v("P810_TO") + "&DEA_PERMIT_ID=&G_PERMIT_ID.";
popupURL(url);

Trying to do a pop up from a column link

I have one interactive report (page 1) which I have defined a column link.
The column link is targeted to another interactive (page 2) within the same application.
Everything works except when I click on the column link in page 1 it does not pop up page 2, but instead replaces page 1 in the current window.
I have tried all kinds of java code popup window functions, but to no avail.
This is another simple syntax mistake I am making I am sure.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Anon

Hello Anon,
Ok, here is how this works:
If Target = "Page in This Application" Then
in the Link Attributes box just above the Target put target="_blank" - this will open a new window and display your target page in that window.
HOWEVER, if your target = URL, you still need to put target="_blank" in the Link Attribute box, but put the URL in the place provided.
When I responded before, I got ahead of myself. This: javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P2_ID:#ID#',500,400)
is used in the HTML source for a Region (for example) to define a link.
Sorry for the confusion,
Don.

Passing parameter from interactive report column link to new page

I'm very simply trying to pass the value of the column link to the where clause on the next page.
Interactive Report on P2 has column link fid alias in sql query.
I read somewhere to refer prefix the interactive report column with IR ??
So I have item name P2_FID, value #FID#. Anyway, I've tried a kazillion things.
Created a hidden item with same source value... sigh.
Is there a syntax to refer to a report column link, rather than an item_id in a region where clause?
Is there a simple direct way to do this?
Thanks,
Pamela
-----pls/apex/f?p=163:1:2746459963336955::NO::P2_FID:119

Thank you Varad...
Unfortunately, I am still getting no data found. (and there IS data).
a) Do you mean in the link column section of the report attributes? that is done: item 1 name= IR_P2_FID, value = #FID#
b) Do you mean my changing my hidden page item to ir_p2_fid with its source value as #FID# ? also done.
Do I need this hidden item?, and if not how do I refer to link in the where clause of the called page's sql region?
3) Where Fishery_id = :IR_P2_FID
Where Fishery_id = &IR_P2_FID
Thanks again!

Call Javascript function to pass a id from APEX report column link

Hi,
Can anyone help me, in a report column link i'm calling a function to pass an id and i want to onclick change a icon on that column based on the value on the column status of this table.
Is this possible?

Hi Ron,
I am doing exaclty what you have suggested me but no luck. I started changing the DEMO_CUSTOMERS application to my requirements.The report is working fine and on the report I have created a page attribute to the Hyper linked column and linked that to the page 2 and assign that attribute with #JOBNUM#.
I am able to pass that value on to form when I click on the JOBNUM. But the problem is I am not able to pass that value into the SQL query so that my query pulls 20+ columns on to the Form ( which is second page ).
Small clarification... On the form region it is said FORM NAME and type is HTML is that is the way the APEX was designed or does it need to say region type as FORM.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers,
Krishna.

Perform subroutine not linking to function after refresh from QAS to DEV

Hi all,
Recently, basis did a refresh from QAS to DEV.
After the refresh, all my programs with perform subroutine statement cannot find the subroutine even though all my subroutines are in the source code itself.
May i know what is the problem that has caused this to happen? It is quite rare to find this problem and i am in a stuck situation right now.
Thanks
WIlliam Wilstroth

Hi ,
I may not be right but whenever you create a perform subroutine and double click system generates few comments and form and endform that is linkage .
What if feel when system was refresh the linkage is disconnected though the code is there .
Then the best option would be to reactivate the program .
I hope it works .
Please reward if useful.

How to do a partial refresh of a form and report on the same page?

Hi all,
im trying to make a page where you have a report on top and when you click the link instead going to the form page, the form page is on the bottom of the report. lets say im trying to send an id from the report to the item below so that i could fetch the rest of the item. however when i pass,other items would still refer to this one as null.
if im not mistaken this could be done with submit,but i want it to be partial refresh..
i tried steps here but this only worked when the lower part is a also a report:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2345863
i also tried this,but this actually submits a page..
Grassroots Oracle: Apex Tutorial - Form & Report sharing the same page
would it be possible to get a form and report in one page as partial refresh?
Message was edited by: T101_cyberdyne

If so, you need to create a dynamic action with a javascript action to set the id of the report row in the id form field, and a subsequent pl/sql action to fetch the record based on the id. You can use this record to set the other form field items.
For the example in the above link the code looks as follows.
the javascript action:
var empno = $(this.triggeringElement).find('td[headers="EMPNO"]').text()
$s('P26_EMPNO',empno)
the PL/SQL action:
declare
cursor c_emp is
select * from emp
where empno = :p26_EMPNO;
BEGIN
for r_emp in c_emp loop
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ENAME',r_emp.ename);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_JOB',r_emp.job);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_MGR',r_emp.mgr);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_HIREDATE',to_char(r_emp.hiredate,'dd-mon-yyyy'));
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_SAL',r_emp.sal);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_COMM',r_emp.comm);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_DEPTNO',r_emp.deptno);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ORDNO',r_emp.ordno);
end loop;
END;
Hi Vincent,
Yes! im looking for something similar. This looks interesting. I did look into apex_util.set_session_state yesterday but didnt know how to apply. perhaps i was doing it wrong.
Question though, so basically first use the javascript to send the EMPNO from top report to the EMPNO in the form fields below.
Then based on the EMPNO received in the form, do a loop to get the rest and put it into session. Correct?
if i'm not mistaken i did something similar,but when i tried to set session for the rest,it refers to to the p26_EMPNO still as null..does the javascript sets the id of report to the id of the form or does it just send over?
i'll try it out.
Thanks.

Hi
Read this and follow it...
>
Go to the report attributes, then click on the edit link button by the side of the column you want to be a link to get to the column attributes.
>
So...
1. Go to edit the page that contains your report.
2. Click on the report region as if you were going to edit the report query.
3. Click the Report Attributes tab.
4. Click the button at the side of the column in question.
5. Scroll down to the Column Link section and fill in the details.
I really can't put it much more simply than that...
Cheers
Ben
