Portal reports: Column conditions: restricting user-data

1.) I created a portal-report based on a view.
2.) This view consists of an attribute, which represents
the SSO-Username
3.) I am trying to build a LOV to restrict the data
from the view, e.g. the user can only see his/her
own data
4.) In earlier days a used the phrase/word "user", which
represented a DB-user (of-course)
===> does not work
5.) If I use WSGSSO.get_user (because my application
is registered as a partner application) ===> does not work
6.) So what is the "reserved" word to be used within Portal
itself to restrict the data within the properties
"column conditions" ??

Hide Report Column Conditionally

Hi All,
I have a report with 12 columns. I want to hide the particular report column if all
the values in that particular column is 0 (Zero).
Can you please help me in achieving the same?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
SKJ

Report Attributes > Column Attributes : CBB
For the display condition, you can't refer to the values store in the column. It wouldn't make any sens to know all the values contain in a column at this point. You can use the #CBB# variable for "Column Formatting" and "Column Link" but you can't use it for "Conditional Display".
WRONG :
Value of expression 1 <> Expression 2
and in Expression 1 i put column name i.e. CBB
and Expression2 I put 0.
GOOD :
You have to use a query or a function to determine if the column should be displayed.
Condition Type : PL/SQL FunctionBody Returning a Boolean
Expression 1:
DECLARE
l_retval BOOLEAN := TRUE;
l_sum NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT sum(your_column) AS sum_of_CBB
INTO l_sum
[FROM and WHERE of your initial QUERY goes here];
IF l_sum = 0 THEN
l_retval := FALSE;
END IF;
return l_retval;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
--should never go here since your report would be empty

Classic Report - Column Conditions Not taking Effect when Changing Pagination

Apex Version: 4.2.1.00.08
DB Version: 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0
Hi,
I have a classic report that has some columns that conditional hide/show depending upon the value of a page item. When the report is first displayed with the first pagination set(Rows 1-100), the columns display as they should.
When moving to the next pagination set(Rows 101-200), the columns no longer display as they should and it seems that the condition is not taking effect. Partial Page Refresh is set to 'Yes' for the report.
Any ideas on why this might be occurring?

tvanderl
Assuming you mean that columns are rendered while you expect them not to.
Are the conditions based on page items.
It could be that the session state of those items is different between when the page is first rendered and when de refresh due to the pagination is done.
See if adding the in the condition used page items to the page items to be submitted for the region helps.
Others wise see if you can replicate the issue on apex.oracle.com so we can see what you mean.

Report Column Conditional Display

Hi,
After reading a load of other posts, it seems like there is no way to have a column display conditionaly based on the other column values.
What I am trying to acheive is when an "Already Authorised" column is set to N, a link column displays with an "Authorise" button.
What I did previously was always show the button and just not process anything (conditional on the process)
I think I can acheive what I want by building up a link in my report query
SELECT CASE
         WHEN chk_tab.completed_flag = 'N' THEN '<a href="&MYAPPID. other url stuff"> Authorise </a>'
         ELSE ''
       END edit_link,What I don't know how to do is either build up the href string? Or is this necessary, can I somehow just submit the page with a request from it?
Thanks
Richard

By accident, I managed to find a perfect solution for this...
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:24:104884642096669
Denes has written a nice function to generate a URL for a report.
So I now use
SELECT CASE
         WHEN chk_tab.completed_flag = 'N' THEN return_link_fn(54,'P54_MYITEM',chk_tab.column_value)
         ELSE ''
       END edit_link
from chk_tabWorks a charm!! :)

Custom secure views report is not restricting the data

Hi,
I have created few custom secure views reports and in which I have used the per_people_f , per_assignments_f secure views but when I am running this report from different responsibilities like (US Resp, UK Resp) it is producing the same number of records. From US resp it should produce the US employees and from UK it should produce the UK employees but this is not happening currently.it is a simple sql script which I registered as sql*plus executable.
Can any one suggest if I am missing some thing? Urgent help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Abap+java stack for Portal 7.0 and MI - User Data Source

The SAP pre-requisites for Portal and MI (Mobile Infrastructure) 7.0 is an ABAP and Java Stack. If you install an AS ABAP + Java, the UME is automatically set up to use the ABAP user management of the same AS installation. What does this mean? The user store will be created in ABAP, for both the Portal and MI.
The impact of this is portal users management is in ABAP. This configuration by design cannot be connected to LDAP Active directory for user authentication.
Please let me know , if some body had already face similar issue and come up with the solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi Surya ,
When you install portal or any NW component with ABAP stack , ABAP stack hold precidence over the JAVA Stack , refer to this link to have more idea on this .

Report using excel sheet as data source not working when deployed to production.

I have a set of SSRS reports that use an excel sheet as a datasource.
Now when I preview the reports or run them in the Visual Studio IDE on my local machine i.e
the development machine, the reports run fine & display all correct results.
However, when we deploy the reports to the Production machine which is on a separate server,
the following error message is displayed :
"The current action cannot be completed. The user data source credentials do not meet the requirements to run this report. Either the user data source credentials are not stored in the report server database, or the user data source is configured not to
require credentials but the unattended execution account is not specified. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)"
I've copy pasted the connection string used for connecting to the excel file as reference :
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyFolder\CurrentFile.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;";
The excel file has also been uploaded to the machine housing the reporting server (i.e to C:\MyFolder location)

Hi Aaakar,
From the error message, please try to change the setting of Credential type for the data source on report manager as follows:
Go to the Data Sources properties page.
For the Connect Using option, select Credentials stored securely in the report server.
In User Name and Password, type credentials that can be used to access the database. If you are using SQL Server as the data source, the user name must be valid for both logging on to the server and for accessing the database that contains the data for
the report.
If the user name and password are credentials for a Windows account, select Use as Windows Credentials.
If you want the report server to pass the credentials of the user accessing the report to the server hosting the external data source, click Windows Integrated Security. In this case, the user is not prompted to type a user name or password.
For more details about Configure Data Source Properties, please see:

Hope this helps.

Interactive Report column visible but cannot filter

I have a complex interactive report running on Oracle 10gR1 using Apex 3.1
When I display the report, all the desired columns are visible. However, when I try to do a filter on a particular column it does not appear in the column filter list even though it is visible in the Select Column list. All the other report columns are available in the filter list.
The specific column is the result of a join and a substitution within the SQL select. The problem column is 'file_nm'. I've bolded the line in the script below.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Defining Authorizations for User to restrict the data in report.

Hi Gurus,

FL003
FL004
FL005
FL006
FL007
FL008
FL009
We have users like below.
User1
User2
User3
Now, if User1 is analysing a report he can see only FL001, FL005, FL009 only, remaining have to be omited.
If User2 is analysing that report he can see only FL002, FL003, FL009. And like wise.
So, Please help me providing the completed steps. I have done somting but failed.

ALV report shows fixed number of columns for a user ?

Hello,
I have an issue wherein I have created an ABAP ALV grid display in a WD ABAP application and hosted it onto portal. Now, all the users can see the correct number of columns for the report which are determined dynamically. But just for one user, irrespective of which report she launches it shows her only 4 columns.
Can anybody suggest why this kind of behavior.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Samta.

Hi,
Right, click the button "manage layout" or "save layout" and remove any default user settings...
added: didn't read carefully sorry ;)... better check user settings in SU01 if no ALV parameter is used.

No data in Portal Report but have data in Bex Analyzer

Hi experts,
I have problem regarding portal reports. When you view the report using the bex analyzer, there is data. But when you view the report in the portal from iview, there is no data.
Please help experts.
Thanks

Hi Emmanuel (that's weird, I am an Emmanuel too! and we both have Filo origins),
There can be heaps of reasons for this.
1) Please try to run the query in transaction RSRT by entering the query name and clicking "Java Web". See if that gives you results. If that gives your results, then the iView that was saved in the portal might need some reconfiguration. Check it out.
2) Check the logic of your user exit variables. The sequence of the I_STEP calls is a bit different if you run a query in the Portal. For example, if you don't have a mandatory variable in your query, then the olap engine will call I_STEP=1 to 3 before it shows the variable screen. This behaviour is not documented in help.sap.com. However, it does work that way.
3) Try to check the caching settings for your iView. It might be caching the result. You can change this in Content Administration in the portal.
Try the above and see if it helps. Otherwise, post another message.
Cheers.
