QBE report

QBE report claims to allow users to insert update and delete
from it. I can find ways to update and delete but not insert, am
I missing something?

Click on "Customize" link to see the "Insert" option.

Using a LOV in an Update page for a QBE Report

In my QBE Report-based portlet, I have set one of the fields to use a LOV.
When I go into Customize for the portlet, that field uses the LOV, but when I click on the Update link for a row, the same field does NOT use the LOV.
How do I make it use the LOV in the Update page?
Thanks for any help!

Folks --
Is this question a difficult one?
I'd appreciate even a pointer...
Thanks

Link from QBE-report to form not working when published as portlets

I've created a simple QBE-report where I've linked (using a LINK) keyvalues to a detail FORM. Query and linking and automatically display of selected record works fine in the App.builder, - but when I publish the elements as portlets and access the QBE-report as a portlet on a page, - the link fails, no keyvalues are passed to the detail form. It only shows up blank.
What am I missing here?
Thankful for any hint.

This is strange, - made the same report again, this time as a sql-query (not QBE) - and linked the report and form together exactly as before - this time the link works when using the report as a portlet.
The QBE-report generates empty parameterstrings (i.e. foo=&bar=&) when run as portlet on a page. Is this a bug?

QBE Report and Dynamic LOV

I have a QBE Report on a table "A" where the value of a field "F" is the "id", of another table "B".
For populating the table "A" I have create a form that uses a dynamic LOV (select name, id from B).
In the QBE report, the value of "F" is the id, instead of the "name". How can I display the name?
Moreover, if I "Update" a record, I would like to have (in the form for updating) the combobox with the complete LOV and NOT the text box with the id.
How can I do that?
thanks

Hi,
This happens in the case when a webview component has been added to a page and the mode selected is EXCEL. You see the excel dump on the screen.
This was a bug and has been fixed in 902.
Incase U want an excel report then you would have to use the RUN options available from the manage screen or navigator .This brings up a save option.You can open it or save the same and then open it.
Thanks,

QBE report to update form link

Running portal30 from 9iAS media on Solaris.
Been searching topics for an answer before posting...
I'm building an app that uses a QBE form to display the contents of a table through a view with UPDATE link enabled. When the user clicks the UPDATE link, they are presented a form with the selected row in it. However, this appears to be a default generated form. I would like to build my own form with edit criteria and additional formating and have the UPDATE link to my custom form instead of a default form. Anyone know how to do this link? I can't find squat in the docs.
Thanks, Dan Dodge

Change layout Update form from QBE report

Is it possible to change the layout from the form that appears when i click on the update link from a QBE report? If yes: where?
T.I.A.

I don't think that is possible. You can try creating custom reports and forms and try linking them together using the link component to get the same effect.

New to portal: Setting the column width in portal QBE report

I'm trying to set different widths to different columns in the QBE report. One of the columns in the report contains long descriptive text. With the default column width the reports runs into many pages and user has to scroll a lot. I would like to set the column width for this column so that it does not wrap for every 2/3 words. In the customization tab, I'm setting the width type to "Char" and selecting the number of characters to be displayed in that coulmn. Percent/pixel width type also didn't help. Should I set the Header width also?. I'm not sure where to set this header column width.QBE report just ignores these customization parameters and displays the report in default format. Please let me know if you have any idea/solution to this problem.
Thanks

How to Insert using QBE report in portlet?

[This is using the latest version of Portal, 9.0.2]
I have created a portlet which is based on the Report QBE.
It displays fine, with Update and Delete columns/links for each row.
However...
When I created the portlet, I specifically said I wanted to display the Query, Reset and Insert buttons in the "Customization Form Display Options" Button Options. When I click on "Customize" from the Develop tab for my portlet, it shows the full page customize, which includes these buttons. But when I add the portlet to a region, and then click on its Customize link (to the right of the portlet's navbar), the resulting customize page does NOT show these buttons.
How do I get Insert functionality working from a portlet? Do I have to do something more to make the portlet customize page show the necessary buttons?
I feel like I may be missing something obvious (again!), but I can't figure it out, and I've looked in all the places I can think of.
Help much appreciated...
Regards
Bryan

You are not 'missing something obvious' , this is how it works. The insert option is not available for qbe reports as a portlets. Reason being that you may not want all users who are able to customize the report to insert data into the base table.
For insertion of data use a form portlet or a link on one of the qbe columns.

Using Update and Delete Links in QBE Reports with a Template

QBE Reports in Portal allow Update and Delete links against Report output rows.
When run, if I press the Update link it displays a simple form and utilises the Template I specified for the Report (as expected).
If I press the Delete link it displays a page with a default Oracle template (including Navigator, Home and Help buttons I wish to suppress)
How can I get the Delete to use the specified Template?
Any simple fix appreciated.

Insert, save, etc.. button's not showed on customize form of QBE report.

Hi,
I've created a QBE report with all button's enabled in the customize form, when testing this with the
provider customize link the button's are shown and I can perform an insert etc...
When this QBE report-portlet is added to my rootpage and I go to the customize link everything is shown
except the button's ??? what am I doing wrong ?
Luc De pauw

Hi,
This is because it is the customize of the portlet. The customize of a portlet only supports the Apply, OK and Cancel buttons. Hence the QBE cannot support Insert in the customize. They are the full page options. The customize is to change the parameters of the report that control the output of the report. It cant be used to insert into a table. The Apply and ok do the same the thing that save does. It saves the customizations for the user.

QBE Report all parameters UNCHECKED

I'm calling a QBE report in dynamic page using "QBE_REPORT_NAME.SHOW_PARMS. It's working fine but I have over 100
parameters and I don't want the user to uncheck
paramaters and run the reports. I want the parameter form appear as all parameters UNCHECKED. the user can select the
paramaters required and run the report.
any idea how this can be done?
Thanks
Vimal

Hi,
You can run the customization screen and uncheck all the parameters and save it by clicking on the save button. This you
need to do it the first time. Next time when the customization form is run all the parameters will be unchecked. The user can then select
the parametes and run it.
Thanks,

Unable to Create a QBE report based on View

I have a view which is based on 4 tables.
The view by itself works fine.When I create a QBE report based on that view it gives the
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table (WWV-11230).
I am not able to understand what I'm doing wrong.Please help!
Thanks,
Hyma.

Its simple if its a view on one table, but you have a view based on 4 tables. That is what makes it complicated and the need for special set up and a little research. I don't remember what all goes into it, but I do recall that its not just as simple as creating the view.

Data Validation on QBE report

When allowing updates from QBE report, how can you validate the data being entered. I need to make sure that the 'deptno' entered is valid in the dept table. The LOV's only show on the customization form, so you cannot use a LOV for this.

Hi,
You can use portal forms to do this. Here you can define a LOV for a field.

Passing parameters to QBE Reports?

I currently have an SQL Report that I filter dynamically with parameters from the page. I would like to be able to use this same functionality with a QBE Report that the client can more easily specify.
Is it possible to pass parameters to QBE Reports? If so, how?
Thanks,
Mark

As Chetan has correctly suggested, it will be better to use a table to store
the emp no and their pin against their login session ids.
You can have a table as :-
create table emp_pin (
session_id integer,
emp_no integer,
emp_pin integer,
constraint emp_pin_fk1 foreign key (session_id) references <portal_schema>.wwctx_sso_session$(id) on delete cascade
When a user logs into portal, a session_id is created and this session_id is
deleted when the user logs out. The delete cascade rule will clean up your
table entry when the user logs out.
You can get this session_id using the <portal_schema>.wwctx_api.get_sessionid function.
Now you need to create 2 functions that would return the emp_no and emp_pin.
You can then use these functions in the sql query of your reports. This way you
need not use bind variables at all.
Example:-
create or replace function get_empno(p_sess_id in integer)
return varchar2
is
l_empno varchar2(2000);
begin
select emp_no
into l_empno
where session_id = p_sess_id;
return l_empno;
end;
create or replace function get_emp_pin(p_sess_id in integer)
return varchar2
is
l_emp_pin varchar2(2000);
begin
select emp_pin
into l_emp_pin
where session_id = p_sess_id;
return l_emp_pin;
end;
Now, these functions can be used in SQL query of your reports as :-
select <col1>, <col2>, <col3>
from <table>
where empno = get_empno(<portal_schema>.wwctx_api.get_sessionid)
and emp_pin = get_emp_pin(<portal_schema>.wwctx_api.get_sessionid)
and ....
In a form, you can use these functions to set the default values of the empno,
emp_pin fields.
