Regarding oracle reports

is it possible to capture the previous value of the field in oracle reports? if possible how? please help me

You can do this in SQL. This is a simple example, but you should be able to apply this to your query.
select first_name,
       last_name,
       lag(last_name,1) over (order by last_name) "Previous Last Name"
  from employees

  • Regarding: Oracle Reporting tool

    hi all
    is there any reporting tool in oracle for designing reports for my application. I have already tried reports with crystal report but it is too slow.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There are installation documents included in the APEX download itself, I really advise reading those documents since they cover everything you need to know about how to install it.
    Also, there is a huge amount of information here -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
    including many HOWTO's, examples, whitepapers, documentation and guides that will give you information about what APEX is, how you to use it and what you can do with it.
    Note, since you're looking for a Reporting tool, APEX might not be exactly what you need, however you can easily build reports using APEX, so as I said earlier it really depends on you actual requirements.

  • Regarding tutorial of how to call Oracle Reports from APEX

    Hi,
    I'm trying to call Oracle Reports from APEX using this tutorial.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    But in the step of 'Create the Oracle HTML DB Application', 'OE' doesn't appear in the LOV of Existing Schema, even though the sample schema exists in the schema and they are unlocked. And when I type 'OE' directly without using LOV, and press Next, the message 'Schema is reserved or restricted' appears.
    How can I create the workspace based on OE schema?

    Hello Shohei,
    I know your following the tutorial, but if you want to call oracle reports from apex it is quite easy though if your working with oracle reports 9i or higher. Just create an html region and put in the source the html code for referencing an url like to_report
    Or reference the same url from a button placed on the HTML region
    (you can create a package that would create the whole URL and returns it as a string, easier for scalability)
    Hope this can help you to (tutorial is good but try and learn from scratch is also good ;-) )

  • XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

    Hi folks ,
    i have some questions.
    Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
    So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
    I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
    Thanks in advance for the feedback.
    regards
    Kay

    Hi Ravi ,
    can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
    regards
    Kay

  • Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
    I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
    Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Regards.

    Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
    If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
    DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

  • Oracle Reports 6i with Oracle 8.1.7?

    Solaris 7 (sparc)
    Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7
    Reports 6i (release 2)
    I am trying to install Reports 6i on a machine that has Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7 installed already. The last time I tried installing to the same ORACLE_HOME it corrupted all my executables. After reading the docs again, I noticed the Reports docs say Reports requires Orcle 8.0.6. I thought it might be better to install to a new ORACLE_HOME (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.6), however, there is no RDBMS installed there and the installer complains.
    Could someone offer some suggestions on how it should be installed in this type of environment. What steps should be followed to allow Oracle Reports 6i to co-exist peacefully on the same machine/ORACLE_HOME as the Oracle 8.1.7 instance.
    Thanks

    I found the answer myself in an earlier post.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by The Oracle Reports Team:
    Reports 6i will connect to Oracle8i, however you need to connect over Net8 - i.e. on the database side, you need to set up the TNS listener to accept connections, and on the Reports side (which, incidentally, needs to be installed in a separate Oracle_home) you need to configure the tnsnames.ora file to connect to the 'remote' database (since it is in a different oracle_home, to all intents and purposes it may as well be on another machine - it's all considered 'remote').

  • Perfomance of oracle report

    Hi,
    I am working on a oracle report. the report performance is very slow.
    Based on the requirement i have designed my data model in such a way that
    i used many formula columns & summary columns...
    Can some let me know how to tune the report. and increase its performance...
    Plz let me know if you guys need any more details.
    thnkq

    Hi,
    Formula columns are like subprogram, being called at the run time of the main query. They always degrade the report performance.
    following link shows the various ways to tune reports in detail:

  • I am unable to get order by column name in oracle report parameter form

    i created query like following in query builder
    SELECT CASE_NO, COURT_ID, CASE_TYPE,
    INITCAP(PLAINTIFF) PLAINTIFF,INITCAP( DEFENDENT) DEFENDENT,
    INITCAP(COUNSEL) COUNSEL, START_DATE, PREVIOUS_HEARING_DATE,

    and i created parameter form for these two bind variables :P_NHD,:P_COL
    in,:P_COL i wrote lov as Select trim(COLUMN_NAME) from user_tab_columns where table_name='L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN'  to get all the columns.
    in parameter form i am able to get all the columns but when i am generating report it is not giving results as per my ordered column.
    kindly let me know the solution
    Report Version :Oracle Reports 11g
    Db Version:Oracle  11g

    Hi,
    Ordering the column first takes place from the Data Model Itself.
    Please Check your column ordering in the report data model. If it is not ordered in a right way then Rearrange it.
    Remove your order by in query...
    If any issues... let me know

  • Editable fields in oracle report

    Hi,
    I am hoping someone can help what I am trying to create is a PDF oracle report with an editable field at the end of the report. The user would use this field to type comments about the report and then save the file with the comments attached.
    I did a search but couldn't really find anything relevant apart from this thread here: Re: How to add to report in pdf format editable fields but it looks like that was never answered.
    Users have access to Adobe Acrobat so an alternative solution could be just to create a rectangle and tell the users to write in that but it is not an ideal solution.
    If it is not possible in oracle reports we are also licensed for BI Publisher but as of yet I haven't been able to find anything that would do this using that tool either.
    Regards,
    Chad

    with an editable field at the end of the report.In Reports the user cannot add text after generation of the report. So, do it before generating the report. Add a parameter p_comment to the data model and add this to the parameter form (or whatever form you use to call the report, e.g. from Forms) and create a text field at the end of the report.

  • Auto print Oracle report through call to PL/SQL

    I have been tasked with finding a way to generate an Oracle report from a java servlet. Basically they want to pass in parameters to a PL/SQL procedure and have it automatically print out, without user interaction.
    Can this be done?
    Jeff

    I am in a similar situation and have reached a bit of an impass. I am creating the report by means of passing a dynamically created URL from WebDB to the Report Server.
    I have created a procedure to do various things and was planning on calling the report via the procedure using
    OWA_UTIL.redirect_url depending on the params
    that the user entered. Does the UTL_HTTP work in the same means as the aforementioned? Or are they the same thing?

  • How to remove space between pages in Oracle Reports 6i?

    Hi,
    I have customized one oracle report (rdf). Earlier, the standard report was showing the ouput in pages i.e. there exists space beteen the pages. But I want my custom report in such a way that it should show me the result in one page i.e. there should be no space between the pages as user wants to spool the output into excel sheet (xls format) after getting the result output obtained from my custom report. Presently, when i spool the data into excel sheet, there is still the space exists between the pages like...few records will come then white space...then records.
    How can I remove this space, so that user can easily spool the data into excel without existence of white space.
    Any sort of help on this will be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    My report is running on Unix. When I checked the output file in unix where it is getting generated, i saw ^L characters wherever the space appears when i see the output in apps (notepad) , like after every page where I am able to see the space in my output, there ^L is appearing in output file in unix, so how can I avoid this.
    I tried to adjust the frames and repeatinf frames also, even i tried changing the properties also of main region (body), but nothing is working for me and still the same issue occurs. I am not aware of this. Please suggest me.
    Thanks a lot!
