Change the source of place holder dynamically in report

Hi,
We need to assign values to place holder dynamically in report pages based on the page number.
Basic requirement is to have dynamic images (generated in before report trigger with file name having timestamp and page number) in dynamic pages (getting repeated based on number of lines in the report).
Is there any way we can have a place holder mapped to this field (Read from file, type: Image) and change the source dynamically when each page is formatted?
Any pointers for this will be helpful.
Thanks,
Ayyappa

Place Holder values are not displaying when calling the report

Hi,
I have a Place holder column in my report and i am assigning the values in a formula column. When i run the report from report builder place holder column is showing the value. But when i deploy the same in application server and i try to invoke from a form it is not the value of that place holder column. Why is this happening? Please, help me in resolving the same.
Thanks & Rgds,

Yes Gayatri. You are right. When i run the report from report builder it is working perfectly. The same report i deployed in application server and invoking from a form report is not showing the values for place holder columns.
Why is this happening?

Place Holder Formula column in reports doing problem

Hi
I am working on some existing reports where there are many palceholders formula coloumns using no return values and they are blank and giving me errors
can anybody tell me what should i write on that place holder formula columns for the return values
should i write return 0 fro number and return null for char
or any other values from some package or field
please guide me
Thanks
Junaid

palceholders formula coloumns Are they placeholder Items or formula items ? As you say they are missing return values i would guess its formula-items.
should i write return 0 fro number and return null for char In general, formual items should return some meaningful value depending on the requirement behind the report, if they do not:
Are they used somewhere in the report ? If not, delete them instead of returning some useless value. If they are used, you're up to the requirement again and have to check whats the sense behind it.

How to implement place holder columns in data template

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to mimic the functionality of place holder columns in RDF using Data Templates in XML Publisher.
How can I call a pl/sql function at element level when we try to group records in the data template.
To make it simple , let us say I have a requirement to retrieve the address of an employee(address line 1,address line 2, city,country)
In RDF what I do is define 4 place holder columns to capture address attributes, and in a formula column I set values to these attributes. How do I implement this in XML Publisher data template.
When I tried to implement the above requirement using test variables, I was able to execute a pl/sql function after the group tag, but not within the group tag.
I got the result for calc_values3 , but didn;t get anythng for calc_values1 and 2

For this, you need to have a master query and child query.
1) In your master query you will have to identify one unique column and call a pl/sql pkg function which calculates all values for your place holder columns and inserts rows into a pl/sql table with the index as your unique column
ex: Master query returns
empnum name amount
1 scott 250
2 bob 350
and your calculated value is 10 percent of the amount
your pl/sql pkg should insert records into the pl/sql table like r(1):= 250*0.1 = 25 r(2):= 350*0.1 = 35
2) The child query will get executed for each row of you rmaster query, so you should be able to read the values based on which master records row it is executing for
Please bear in mind that you have to make sure that the report is not executed by two different people at the same time, else you have to consider session or any other unique identifier in addition to your master records unique identifier.

Pass a varaible (Place holder) in the Long text of message class

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is to display an error messages using message class for better understanding I am using Long text will it possible to pass a variable (place holder) in the long text if possible means suggest how to pass the variable (we need to put any &1 like this similar we do in message class) or only we can display only text in long text.

Create new message in message class with text like material number & is not valid
Here .
& symbol is the place holder. you can dynamically pass some thing to this message. In your validation do like this.

BAfor clarity and easy to be read i attempted to rearrranged your code and this is what it will look like:
select *
from (select myrows.*, rownum rn
          from (select acc as account,
                       es as identity,
                       address as street_address
                       state as stae,
                       select id
                  from mytable
                 where emp_id = ? as my site from myview where ert_id=? and chek=?apparently the syntax is not correct and by that you are missing some comma in your column, ? question mark symbol will not be recognize, and some ')' closed parenthesis.
are you using a report builder that you want to use a placeholder column?

Place Holder in Bridge

Place holder so that when you are working with multiple clients you can easily find where you left of when working with large file directories etc.

Bob and Peter, Am feeling sorry for not doing a good job of explaining.
My reports involve many images. To keep things neat and consistent, I have a 3 cell horizontal table with a rectangular frame in each cell. Bridge, on a second monitor, is great. I just drag an image over to a cell and the full image is placed and squeezed into the dimensions of the frame withing the cell. With the direct selection tool, I pan and zoom till I have the right scale and focus point. Now that cell has the right view and still fits into the frame that is in the cell. Now I need to add one or more arrow points and occassionally a few words of text.
To add these elements, I click on the image, CTRL X and CTRL V, and the image reappears on the page but outside of the table. Now I can add arrows, group them together with the image, and again CTRL X. When I first cut the image from the cell, the frame went along with it. Now the cell contains no frame. So I use the text tool, click inside the cell and do a CTRL V. The grouped image is then placed back in the cell with arrows and all fits.
I really don't think Adobe's tables provide any other way.
Have survived with these steps since early Pagemaker and will keep on surviving.

Place Holder

Can somebody tell me how to display the name, phone no, fax, email of the user running the report in a report?
Also how do we map the place holder column to a column in a table.

Easiest way to use the placeholder is to create the placeholders first using the names you want. Set them to the correct datatype.
In the before report trigger, select into that field.
select name, number, email
into :CP_NAME, :CP_NUMBER, :CP_EMAIL
from table
where user = :P_USERAs far as getting the user id, you may be able to refrence the FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID function. From there you can do what you want.
But basically that is how you do a placeholder.

SSRS 2008R2: Place holder formatting

Greetings,
Please help me in solving below issue,
I am using a tablix with one column only, and in that column i am using Place Holder, that patch holder gives value as below
= Fields!DateofBirth.Value another place holder is next to it with = Fields!Name.Value
Now the date of birth is comming in 'January 26,2014' format. the length increases and decreases as month changes,
For example 'January 26,2014' the lengh of this string is lot bigger then 'Feb 11,2014' , Because of this the 'Name' is shifting further and back.
is there any way to decide the place holder's region as fixed and should not affect other items in the same place holder.
sorry for the poor explaination.
Please ask for anything.
Thank in advacne.
Parixit

Hi Parixit,
According to your description, you want to specify an fixed area for a placeholder so that the next placeholder will not shift with the increase of the previous placeholder's length. Right?
In Reporting Services, since placeholders are in same text box, the second placeholder always starts where the previous placeholder ends. If you need to have the region for the first placeholder fixed, we suggest you put the DateofBirth into a text
box and put the Name into another textbox.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

In-Place Hold Combined with In-Place Archiving in Exchange 2013

Hi,
In-Place Hold is enabled for a mailbox and set to keep everything indefinitely. The same mailbox has a Retention Policy with a Default Policy Tag set to move everything to an archive mailbox after 2 years.
Let's say the user keeps mail in the primary mailbox and 2 years passes. This piece of mail should then be moved to the archive mailbox. When this happens, does the indefinite In-Place Hold mean that the mail is ALSO kept in the primary mailbox
(in the Recoverable Items Folder)?
Or is the In-Place Hold smart enough to consider both the primary and archive mailbox as a single "whole" and would therefore completely purge the mail from the primary mailbox when it is moved to the archive?
Obviously I would expect if the user were to subsequently delete the mail from the archive mailbox that In-Place Hold would actually keep the mail in the Recoverable Items Folder in the archive mailbox.
I am essentially trying to determine if In-Place Hold effectively nullifies any space saving in the primary mailbox when mail is archived or whether the two mailboxes are treated as a single "whole" for the purpose of the hold.
Cheers,
David

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. If that is the case, doesn't that effectively mean that when In-Place Hold is active, any In-Place Archive process actually ends up creating a second copy of the mail and therefore using twice as much space?
One copy in the Archive mailbox and one copy kept in the Recoverable Items Folder (due to the In-Place Hold) in the Primary mailbox.
My feeling is that Microsoft would have been smart enough to get this right and Exchange will actually bypass the In-Place Hold functionality in the specific case when the mail is being moved to the Archive - but this is just a guess. I'd like to know
for sure.
Cheers,
David

Need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365

The options that I have found for this so far is to enable in-place hold for a DL or an individual user. Is there a way to use a CSV instead?
