Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Problem using Interactive Report in Application Express 3.2.1.00.11

Hi All ,
I am using Interactive Report in Application Express 3.2.1.00.11
I have made report as editable by using following query
Select ROWID,
APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,IDSKILL,'UNCHECKED') "Mark",
APEX_ITEM.TEXT(2,IDSKILL)"IDSKILL",
APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,SKILL) "SKILL",
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(4,IDBEARBEITER,'DIR_LOV'),
APEX_ITEM.TEXT(5,ÄNDERUNGSDATUM)"ÄNDERUNGSDATUM"
from SKILLS
Problem :-
When I click FILTER option in Interactive Report , It is taking under Expression "<input type="text" name="f03" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="ARIS" />" and displaying in search filter as
Skill = '<input type="text" name="f03" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="ARIS" />'
Can I make display like Skill ="ARIS"
Any suggestion is welcom ..
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi,
As I know there is no fix/workaround for that.
Disable filtering and other stuff is only. But I think you of course like have filters and other nice thing of interactive report. Other vice you have done classic report.
It is better use classic report and build own custom filers.

Try making your column definition as "Remove HTML and escape special characters".
I tried it and it make the column appear as editable as intended and also clicking on the column heading or on the filter in the IR bar behave properly.

REP - 300 Error while executing report from Application

Hi,
I have report in Report Builder & for the same report form is there in Form Builder in which parameter page is designed. From application where I am calling report is internally calling form & in form Procedure Run Report is there which is calling report from Report Builder. Both report from builder & form form Builder are compiled . Also query is executing fine in Toad without error. Also all query fields are present in database.
But when I am trying to excute report from Application it is giving error as "REP - 300 Invalid Identifier " & it displays whole query.
Note - Report & it's Form are in ORACLE - 10g. Also the user through which I am executing report from application is ADMIN user , so it has executing permission.

looks like error in parameters. check out the value of variable that you are passing through to report from form. Put a messages to see variable values before execute report.

I'm trying to make an application in Oracle Application Express and I've tried making an SQL report using the following SQL query:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "Appointment_REPORT" ("DOCTOR", "PATIENT", "Content", "Date") AS
select concat(concat(v.name,' '),v.surname) as doctor, concat(concat(pa.name_patient,' '),pa.surname_patient) as pactent, p.content, p.date
from Appointment p, Amployee v, Patient pa
where
v.employee_id=p.employee_id
and p.patient_id=pa.patient_id
The SQL works fine and gives me lovely results in my report. However, I don't know how to link the SQL to my actual Appointment table. Deleting, updating or creating new appointments through this view is impossible because I get the following error Unexpected error, unable to find item name at application or page level.
I understand how to make a form on the Appointment table but given how that table contains lots of primary keys (numbers) it's not preferable for the user to have to deal with that.
Can I have some help with linking the two and making it functional?
Thanks in advance.

Any table can have only ONE Primary Key.

Code 128 Barcode printed from Application Express

Hi,
My colleague and I have written a procedure to generate Code128 Barcodes. These appear fine on the screen within Application Express 3. But when we export the file as an RTF or PDF document to our BI_Publisher server running under LINUX RedHat the Barcodes are greyed out and cannot be seen.
Anyone any ideas on how to solve this? It is extremely irritating only to be able to offer our users the ability to print the Application Express page off rather than a proper document.
Thanks

Hi kcbemssr,
I don't know weather you can see this reply, but i still want to say something about this.
Did you used another type of code 128?
you can try this. and here is a site i recommand you, it's all about barcode, you can get code 128

Error while running Crystal Reports from application

Hi,
I am getting the below error when I try to run Crystal Reports from my application.
There are no Page Servers connected to the Cache Server or all connected Page Servers are disabled or all connected Page Servers are not part of the specified server group. Please try to reconnect later.
I am able to preview the reports in CMC and Infoview, but when I try to run the same report via my application the above error pops up.
Sometimes I get a different error:
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
Looks like some configuration settings are missing/ corrupted.
I tried to look in a number of websites... tried few workarounds, but none seems to be working.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Cross tab reports in application express

Hi,
Can a cross tab report be generated with the help of Oracle Application Express?
Lavina

Lavina - you can cheat and create a very simple report like this:
Use a PL/SQL dynamic region. Within your PL/SQL, query the database to get the data in rows rather than columns (which is normally much easier and allows the number of items to be dynamic) and set a cursor on the result.
Start an HTML TABLE block, loop through the cursor once for each column of the resultset and output each row as a table column (i.e. 'sideways', with td tags rather than tr tags, or th tags for the first). You can also put in CSS formatting etc., then close off the table at the end. The idea here is that you build up an HTML table with your data in the cells, and pass it back to the browser using an htp.p() call.
It's a bit crude, and you don't get any of the APEX stuff that goes with the report, but it's OK for very simple reports. We use this technique for creating reports that show the data that was used to generate charts.

Forms and reports on Application Express

Hi:
Is it possible to import regular forms and reports( .fmb and .rdf) into the application express and run in the database xe/application express environment?

Hello,
Not yet possible...
What you could do is run the Form in an iframe, but if you talk about migrating the forms and reports, the APEX Dev team is working on that.

Is it possible to execute a stored procedure from application express?

I have created a pl/sql application now I would like to give it a front end, I am new to application express.
My application depends on running a couple of pl/sql procedures that modify data.
What I need is my user to be able to execute the procedures from the application in a browser, is it possible to run a pl/sql procedure from an application express application in a browser?
how would I go about doing this?
thank you very much.
Ramiro

You sure can.
If you want to run a PL/SQL procedure/package/function from the URL, create a specific DAD entry just for that (Oracle) user, and give that user EXECUTE permissions on the procedure. Then just use the new DAD with the procedure name, like http://myserver.somewhere.com/MyNewDAD/Schema_Owner.MyPackage.MyProcedure?InParameter=MyParameter)
Of course, the above line will need heavy modification on your end, but I do this in my app, but I actaully pass it through a javascript attached to a button which then opens it in a new window.
If instead, all you want to do is execute a procedure with ApEx as part of a validation or process or something, select the PL/SQL 'Region' (or process, whatever it is you want to do), and then write it as an anonymous block:
begin
MyProcedure;
end;
