Passing Cuztomized Culture Settings to Report

I have a web application developed in Visual Studio 2010. It uses reports developed in CR 2011 for VS 2010.I am facing number format issues.
Report needs to format numbers in the culture of the user who is loggedin the application. We store culture settings for each country in database with two custom settings: number of decimal places and rounding.
1) Before exporting report to PDF, I set Thread's culture to the desired country's culture and override default decimal/rounding settings. The resultant PDF displays numbers in correct format except my changes in the culture i.e. decimal and rounding places. Instead it always shows 2 decimal places.
I tested this entire scenario by making a sample application and using regional settings of my machine. Still the same issue. It appears, crystal always takes the CultureId of the culture and uses default settings in that culture and ignores whatever we override.
2) When I export the same report above to excel, it doesn't format number's to the Thread's culture at all. Instead it always export's numbers based on my regional settings instead of the culture I am setting at runtime.
Interestingly, it exports to the desired format if I use ToText function in crystal.
Could anybody help here?

Pass value from previous interactive report to create record form

Hi All,
I am an APEX newbie and have an APEX 3.2.1 application that is still being developed that is working reasonably well. The problem I am having is the following:
I have 3 interactive reports. These are defined on their respective tables, namely, clients, servers, and databases. By clicking on a client name, it shows the servers that are associated with that client. By then clicking on a server, it shows me the databases that are on that specific server. I am able to perform updates, deletes and inserts on all of these.
In order to say create a server, i click on the name of a client and it brings me to the Server Interactive report to see the associated servers. I then click a "Create a Server" link that brings me to the create a server page. The issue i am having is that I would like to have the previous value of the primary key (Client ID) passed from the Server interactive report to the form where i create a new server so that the client ID is already populated in the Create a Server form. Presently, the only way i am able to do this is by defining the client ID column on the Create a server form as a select list and displaying ALL the different clients. By selecting a client name, this list then returns the client id associated with that client name. This is a potential source of confusion for the users and it would be much better if the client ID was already in a text field that is disabled and all they have to do is fill out the other fields of the form.
I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter as I am fighting project deadlines. I have seen other examples that are similar, but i am still experiencing difficulty.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
I am still very confused as to how to get this to work.
I cannot have the value passed by clicking the client ID link from the Server Interactive Report in order to populate the Client ID field in the Add Server Form. It MUST be done by clicking an Add Server button that will pass the value as well as take me to the Add Server Form. So far, I have only been able to have the value show up if i click the client ID column on the Interactive report that has a column link defined as follows:
Name VALUE
P9_CLIENTID #CLIENTID#
However, when i do have the value passed this way i receive the following error message which proves that it is not saving the god damn state!
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("USERS"."NEW_SERVERS"."ClientID")
Error Unable to process row of table NEW_SERVERS.
Even if the value appears in the text field, it isnt really there!
How to make it know the value is there is beyond me.
I dont know what to think of this situation. I have tried all types of settings and I have a feeling it will be 2010 before this is resolved.
It is really frustrating, it has been days i am trying to get this to work...
Thanks,
Tim

Multi pass bursting of a Crystal report on business view with a bex query

In BO CMC, we have a group with a list of user.
The idea is to burst (via the multi pass bursting method) a Crystal report for this list of user with the constraint that this report should only contains data of the store linked to the user.
Our data comes from a SAP BI cube.
The link between a Store and a User comes from an other system.
We have build a bex query and use it as a data source of a Crystal Data Foundation.
In this Data Foundation we have an other table storing the user ID and the Store ID.
These 2 tables are linked in this Data Foundation on the Store ID.
Business element and Business View have also been created on top of this Data Foundation.
We have impletemented a filter in this Data Foundation to filter out data on the user id. This user id will be filled when bursting the report for all requested users thanks to this function :.
As a user is linked to one store, the data foundation will filter the data coming from the bex query and show only the data of the user's store.
We have build a crystal report using the business view created above as data source. We have made some test on a small amount of data and it works, data are correctly filter out and the reports shows only the data from one store.
But the problem is that we have a lot of stores (more than 600) and doing this way implies that the bex query will always return the data for all the stores as the filter will occurs in the data foundation and not on the bex query.
We need to find a way to make the bex query returning only the data of the store linked to the user for which we burst the report.
As we have more than 600 stores this was an idea to avoid managing more than 600 under BO groups or more than 600 different filters.
This solution do not work when the bex query result set is too large.
Does anyone has an idea on how to implement such "dynamic" filter in the bex query? The parameter is the user ID but the filter to be applied on the bex query is on the store ID.
We are under BO XI release 2, Crystal XI Release 2 and we have installed the BO release 2 integration kit for SAP

How does one pass import parameters to a report within a method?

Hello all,
Well how does one pass import parameters to a report which is within a method ...end method.
for example :
method 123
SUBMIT reportname using selection '1000'
endmethod .
Here we need to pass values into the selection screen and run the report for those values.
The values are say 'ABC' ( tablename "DEF" and field name "HIJ" ).
I hope the question is clear, awaiting your response
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Go to SE24
Parameters: Give the Parameter name, Typing method is "Type" is the domain type that u are selecting, say for e.g : Parameter is "P_CONT" , its associated type "CHAR32" etc
For Select Options: Parameter name say "S_CUST", Type"importing". For this you need to give an associated type which must be created as "TABLE TYPE " in SE11. That table type needs to have a "LINE TYPE" .
LINE TYPE is a Structure created with components "SIGN, OPTION, LOW & HIGH" for select-Options.
NOTE: for a Table type related to Customer data fields "say KUNNR", the line type created must have the Component Type and data Type corresponding to the Data Element associated with "KUNNR" ;i.e: "CHAR" etc.
See if this is clear to you or revert back in case of any Confusion.

Passing multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page

Hi,
I want to pass multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page.
I have been succussful passing a single parameter between two portlets. The
following are the steps :
(1) Created first report based on the query
SELECT htf.anchor('http://192.168.0.84:7778/servlet/page?&_pageid=97&_dad=portal30&_schema=portal30&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO,DEPTNO) Department, ename FROM EMP;
(2) Created 2nd report
select * from EMP where DEPTNO = :dept_code
(3) Added pl/sql code before display page on the 2nd report
portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names, l_arg_values,
p_reference_path||'.dept_code',portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(g
et_value('dept_code'),10)));
(4) Created a page and added these reports as portlets.
Sofar it works fine for one parameter (deptno) . Now I want to add one more
parameter say empno to my first report query and would like to pass both the
parameters deptno and empno to the 2nd report. Please tell me how to pass multiple parameters ?
Thanks
Asim

Hi,
You will have to do the same thing
The select will be like this
SELECT htf.anchor('http://toolsweb.us.oracle.com:2000/servlet/page?_pageid=97&_dad=mb&_schema=mybugs&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO||'&empno='||empno,DEPTNO) Department,ename
FROM EMP
In the additional plsql code do the same for empno like this
mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.dept_code',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(get_value('dept_code'),10)));
mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.empno',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('empno')));
Thanks,

How to pass the value from Sub report to main report

I have un report(mainreport) within a subreport(subreport).
With reporting services, how to pass the value from Sub report to main report?
thanks

Hi Alebet,
With reporting services to pass values from sub report in to main report is not supported directly.
But there are some workarounds through which you can get this .
There are two ways to get this.
1- Put your sub report query into some table. i mean to say through the subreport query get some temporary table.
2- Using this temporary tables data write some Scala function in the data base.
3- Now in your main report query return this scala function as a column.
4- Extract the column value where ever you want in your main report which is getting calculated from the subreport query. so you will be getting the values returned from the subreport in the main report.
This will definitely work fine as i have done some report in this way.
Another way of doing is that
1- prepare another data set with the same query as in sub report in the data tab.
2- then refer this 2nd dataset in your main report .
But better way will be the top one.
Anyway please let me know if you get the solution.
Thanks

Passing SQL-Parameters to Oracle-Reports from java

hello,
i want to write an application in the following way:
on a java-frontend an user can select values for different
parameters. these values should be to transferred to the sql-
query of the reports rdf file. what is the syntax of an
parameter passed from java to oracle reports.
does this work with runtime.exec()... ?
does anybody have an example.
any help would be very appreciated.
greetings
Thorsten Lorenz

In order to pass the parameters to report rdf, you can create user parameters in the oracle report builder, hook up the parameters with query. For example, you can create user parameter P_DEPTNO, then create a sql query: select * from dept where deptno = :P_DEPTNO. When you run this report, you give P_DEPTNO=10 as parameter, the rdf will generate report that only prints out department 10's information.
Once you have this kind of report created, you have several ways to achieve what you want.
1. use rwrun60. In your java program, you can invoke rwrun60 via runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd = rwrun60 report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
2. similarly, use rwcli60. the cmd would be:
cmd = rwcli60 server=repserver report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
3. use rwcgi60. Instead of using runtime.exec, you should use java URL object to run the report in the web environment.
option 2 & 3 takes advantage of powerful functionality of reports server, and it is much more scale than option 1.

Multiple selection list and passing that value to oracle reports

Hi
I need to create a multiple selection list and then based on use selection, I need to pass that value to oracle reports. Can any one help with steps on how I can do this. Thanks

Hi
Concatenate the multiple values into a string separated by comma and then pass that string to report as a parameter.
In report query, you have to use the lexical parameter using ' & '

How to pass hidden user/passwd to report?

Hi,
Running reports in the Web is there a way to pass hidden user/passwd to report without using the map file?

No, you either have to have the details in the map file or the URL itself. There's no other way to hide the username/password.
Hope this helps.

Jatinder

Passing Parameters from Forms to Reports

I created a report and a form. Create a param list. I'm trying to pass the parameters to the report when I'm doing run_product. The report comes up with the parameter screen.
My problem is, as I am passing all the values what I need from the form, my report query should automatically query against these parameters and bring me the result.
For example form is passing dept 49. My report should not display a parameter form asking me to type the dept number. It should take dept 49 in it's where clause for the query and return the result set.
Can any one give me some suggestions ASAP. Very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

ugandhar,
please start looking at Run_Report_Object as using Run_Product to run Reports is desupported in Forms9i

The error message (FRM-47012) is very specific. Do you have a Record Group defined in the Record Group Node of the Navigator called 'NICE_REC'?
Hope this helps.
