Refresh portal report

I have a portal report that displays emp info:
Emp Name ID Dept
This is displayed as a portlet on a page. The same page has a portal form that allows entries of new employees. When a new employee is entered on the form I would like to refresh the portal report showing the new info. Is this possible?

Hi,
We also want that a report which is in a portlet should get refreshed either automatically or atleast when the user click on the refresh button in the browser, but as per our observation it is not happening.
If some body has a clue please let us know.
As a workaround, instead of pasting the report in the portlet, we have provided a link (with the help of menu) in the portlet. so whenever a user clicks on the link, the report get displayed with the latest data.
Regards
Deepak

How do you refresh a report after an update?

Hi all,
I have a Welcome Page that has several Portlets on it. One of the Portlets is a QBE report. From the report a user can click on a column record and be transported to a form, where the user can modify the record. Once the user is satisfied with the changes, the user hits the UPDATE button and is transported back to the Welcome Page. The only problem is that the Report has not been updated. Refresh does not work on the web toolbar and the only way I figured out on how to refresh the report is to go into the 'Customize' page and make some sort of change and hit O.K. After that, I am redirected back to the Welcome Page with the Report refreshed with current data. How can I refresh the report, without going into the 'Customize' Page? What code does the 'Customize' page do, to automatically refresh the report? I am using Portal 9.0.2.2.14.
TIA,
Dan

Hi,
This is due to webcache. You can solve this problem by calling the page url with an extra parameter. That way the page would get invalidated.
Say the page url is
http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema
then you should call the page like this
http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema&1=2
This just adds a dummy parameter at the end and hence invalidates the cache.
Thanks,

Refresh portlet report more frequently than once per hour

When you publish a report from discoverer in the portal, you can tell it to automatically refresh, but the most frequent refresh it allows is once per hour. Is there some way I can refresh a report more frequently than that? Can I use the scheduled workbook functionality to achieve this, since in there you can schedule it to run as frequently as once per minute.
I'm using Discoverer 10.1.2.
Thanks
-Nissim

These are two different schedulers...
We are considering changing the UI to let the users specify a schedule frequency more frequent than once an hour. But that is in a future, as yet undecided release.
For the time being, you can resort to hacks to refresh Discoverer portlers more frequently than an hour. Some information on the same is available on Metalink. I shall see if I can publish in the next few days a blog post on how to do that. Of course you have to realize that something like this is not encouraged or supported.

Error while refreshing a report using local csv file

Hi,
I'm using BI 4.1 SP02.
While using Rich client, I've created a report with some merged queries, while one of the queries is a local CSV file - saved on AD in some server, and not on the repository inside BO.
While trying to refresh the report with the Rich client, it all went great.
Now, while using BI Launchpad java based app, I can't refresh the report - I get the following error:
"An Internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270) (WIS 30270)"
Should I be able to refresh a report without the Rich if it contains a local file (which is possible to EDIT only with rich) ?
If so, then did someone ran into this error?
Thank you,
Or.

First of all, thanks for both of the replies.
Second,
my problem is unlikely have to do something with permissions from one reasons -
when the report is using XLS\XLSX on same folder(with same name prefix) - the report is running without any problem.
Only problem is while refreshing without Rich while the source is network CSV file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Apex 4.2 dynamic action to refresh a report region on a different page

Hi,
I open up a pop up window from a report region. When the user is done in the pop-up window and closes it, can I trigger a refresh on the report region using dynamic actions without actually reloading the whole page? I know I can use dynamic action on a page to refresh the report region on the same page.
Thanks,
Sinan

Sinan,
So long as the region to be refreshed is still loaded, you can do this. I don't know how you are loading your pop-up or unloading it but, the principle should be the same as what I provide below.
Assume that you have set the static ID for your report to MY_REPORT. (Be sure you have checked "Allow Partial Page Refresh" in the Report Attributes).
$('#confirmBox').find('div#userConfirmationMessage').html( 'Would you to Refresh your Report?' );
$('#confirmBox').dialog(
 autoOpen: true,
 modal: true,
 title: 'Refresh Conformation',
 buttons:
 'No': function ()
 $(this).dialog('close');
 'Yes': function ()
 $(this).dialog('close');
 $('#MY_REPORT').trigger('apexrefresh');

$a_report to refresh a report but it is not picking up the bind variable

Hi
APEX          -     Application Express 4.1.0
Browsers     -     All
Database     -     11g2
I have a tree region on a page. When a user clicks a leaf of the tree I want to be able to use the ID to refresh a report in a different region on the same page
Code for when the user clicks the leaf
$('div.tree li a').click( function() {
node_id = $(this).parents('li:first').attr('id');
if (node_id.substr(0,node_id.indexOf('|')) == 'Y')
$s('P4_SELECTED_VALUE',node_id.substr(node_id.indexOf('|')+1));
alert('Value Set: ' + $v('P4_SELECTED_VALUE'));
//$a_report('28576803999973770','1','20','20');
$a_report($v('P4_REPORT_ID'),'1','20','20');
SQL Statement
SELECT *
FROM PRODS p WHERE PROD_CODE = :P4_SELECTED_VALUE
The problem I have is that when the report is run (I know it is refreshing) the P4_SELECTED_VALUE bind variable is set to NULL.
The alert pop contains the correct value and when I make the P4_SELECTED_VALUE visible it also contains the value?
Any help is much appreciated
Rob

Rob,
You need to insert P4_SELECTED_VALUE value into APEX session before refreshing the report.
Add following JS function in your page
//insert value into session using JS
function fnSetSessionState(pItem, pValue) {
    var vAjaxDummy = new htmldb_Get(null, $v('pFlowId'), null, 0);
    vAjaxDummy.add(pItem, pValue);
    var vDummy = vAjaxDummy.get();
    vAjaxDummy = null;
}and your code..
$('div.tree li a').click( function() {
node_id = $(this).parents('li:first').attr('id');
if (node_id.substr(0,node_id.indexOf('|')) == 'Y')
$s('P4_SELECTED_VALUE',node_id.substr(node_id.indexOf('|')+1));
alert('Value Set: ' + $v('P4_SELECTED_VALUE'));
fnSetSessionState('P4_SELECTED_VALUE',$v('P4_SELECTED_VALUE'));
//$a_report('28576803999973770','1','20','20');
$a_report($v('P4_REPORT_ID'),'1','20','20');
});This is how I used to do in version 3.2 or before. But now I prefer to use Declarative dynamic actions..

USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

Dear All,
HELP!!!
A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
Pls note that the following has been completed:
1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
Many thx
DI

Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.

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.

Can Portal Report from SQL Query use where column IN (:bind_variable)

I would like to create a portal report from sql query with IN (:bind_variable) in the where clause. The idea is that the user would enter comma-separated or comma-quote-separated values for the bind_variable. I have tried this several ways but nothing seems to work. Can this be done?

Unable to refresh a report in P21 Activant

We recently upgraded our Activant P21 (Prophet 21) software which includes Crystal Reports. Standard P21 canned reports in their software can be viewed, exported and printed. The P21 software includes a feature to create and link custom reports. We create the custom reports with Crystal Reports 2008 and set up the external report links. We can open, view, print and export the custom reports but when we refresh the report with or without an input parameters, we are prompted for a "Database Login" password. When we enter our password, an error message titled "Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer" states "Logon Failed. Please try again". We have contacted Activant about this issue and they do not find any errors in the set up. They have told us there is probably an issue with Crystal Reports and asked us to contact your company. We have also contacted a friendly competitor who uses the same Activant P21 software and create custom reports with Crystal Reports 2008 which include user input parameters. Their custom reports work without a glitch. What would prevent us from refreshing a custom Crystal report?

Hi Don,
Activant P21 is insisting our issue is a Crystal problem. We are unable to refresh the reports inside their software. We have tried every user id and password we know and it still will not refresh our CR report.
When we use CR2008 to refresh a report, a window opens titled "OLE DB (ADO)" and asks to choose a data source "ODBC Data Source....Choose a data source from the list" We select our ODBC DSN: P21 Live and click next. Another window opens titled "OLD DB (ADO) asking for a password "Connection Information...Provide necessary information to log on to the chosen data source." At this point it does not matter what "User ID" or "Password" we use, the report will refresh. We have used the Adminstrator with a password, we used my user name and password and we used the administrator without a password and in all three instances, the report refreshed with the correct data.
I don't see how this is a Crystal problem unless there is something I am missing. Any help you can provide will be deeply appreciated.

How do I display blob (image) in a Portal Report

I am using 9ias 10222 and portal 30983 and I have a table that stores an image as a blob and have a varchar field to store the mime type. I have created a form to upload the image and can then query the form to display the image.
How do I dislay the image in a Portal Report/Dynamic Page Component. I have followed note 68016.1 but the retrieve_img_data procedure does not work it gives a wwv-11230 error.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Belinda

Hi,
Can you display what code you used for this? I followed note 172045.1 and everything compiles properly but when I run the report, I just get a box with a red X in it, like it is not finding the picture. I ran the procedure that downloads the image and it works fine from there. Thanks.

How to give the table in a Portal Report an ID?

I have a report created in Oracle Portal 10.1.4 using the standard Portal Report feature. The results are output in HTML as a table. How do I give the table an ID attribute?
This is what teh output looks like now:
<TABLE border="1" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 SUMMARY ="Printing Table Headers">

Hi,
you can increase the table size by using the table properties.
table properties-->Additional formatting options--->give the values of height and width like 800,600 etc.
mark if helpful/correct...

Error occured while refreshing webi report in bi system

Dear Experts ,
please look into my problem
While refreshing WebI report in BIDEV system, we are getting the following error. The problem occurs only while refreshing the report.
ERROR: a database error occured. the database error text is unable to connect to sap bw server incomplete logon data.. (wis10901)
Regards

HI ayur
In the universe connection if the username and password is hardcoded then make sure those username and passwords are correct.
else
Make sure you are in the right BOX, for example if Universe is pointed to Prod, and you execute the report associated with that universe in the Dev, then that error will show up. So in universe connection find out to what BOX(dev, test, prod) it is pointed to and login to webI in the same BOX as universe pointed to and execute the report.
It should work, if not please let us know.

While Refresh the report in webi i got database error.

Hi All,
I try to refresh the report in CMC i got database error . Can any one please help me how to resolve this.
Regards,
Arjun

Hi Mallikarujun,
Try selecting the values using show values for particular column in Universe.
If that is fine and you are using SQL Server then the query is returning more that 2147483647 which is the limit for the return count by SQL Server (4 Bytes).
There may be issue in join condition, if not try applying filter in query
