Remove Filter Type from interactive report

Hi
is it possible to remove the Filter Type option from an interactive report?
We don't want to give users the option to select the filter type.
Many thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't think you can remove that option. You can hide it. There are several ways to do this, but they would involve css styling. In your page's HTML Header setting, add in:
<style type="text/css">
label[for="apexir_FILTER_TYPE"] {display:none}
#apexir_FILTER_TYPE.radio_group {display:none}
</style>Note that older versions of IE will not handle the first style, but that's just the label. The actual radio buttons are hidden by the second style

Getting active filter conditions from interactive reports

I have been having trouble with how to properly get the filter conditions that a user has applied to an interactive report. I have tried to get at this information using the Apex defined view APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND. However, the problem I am running into is if the user ends their session without first removing their filter conditions, those conditions remain in this view the next time (and any future times) the report is accessed. I can not seem to determine how to tell which filter conditions are actually active in the report. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've done several tests, and the results I'm getting are not like that, if it were there would be no problem. The exact steps I'm doing is setting an arbitrary filter on an interactive report, and then logging out. When I log back in the view still shows those filter conditions, but no records are filtered on the actual report. I've tried this on two separate installations of apex (one 3.1, the other 3.2) and the results are the same. Is this irregular? Or has anyone else found a workaround for this.

Remove comparison type from report

How do I remove the comparison Type from the report?
Is it possible to remove the whole row in the HTML report, column in xml format?
Thanks,
Sam

the answer to my last question can be found at http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=2452&query.id=69156#M2452 with one note.
When the include in report flag is selected all the subsets are included in the report. To take out a particular property such as comparison type in multiple measurement step enable the "don't copy to result" flag for that propoerty. i.e multiplemeasurementstep>>result>>measurement(has flag include in report)>>measurement[0]>>comp(enable don't copy to result)

Create Filter on an Interactive Report in a Link

Hello,
Here is info on my environment:
Database: 10.2.0.1.0
O/S: Windows XP
APEX: v3.2.1
I am trying to use the IR<operator>_<target column alias> feature to filter the linked Interactive Report. The feature does not seem to work. Does this feature work on a 10g database?
Background:
I am building the application (AnyCo Corp) described in the _2 Day + Application Express Developer’s Guide_ . On page 4-27 the section titled "_Linking a Column Value to Another Page_" describes linking from the Department report to the Employee report with the Column Link item IR_DEPARTMENT_ID. The link did not work, however.
The included APEX Users Guide discusses this feature. The path to the relevant section is: Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports > Linking to Interactive Reports. The Guide describes the string IR<operator>_<target column alias> with lots of operators.
This is a neat feature. Unfortunately, no matter how I try to use it, it does not work. What am I doing wrong?
Leon

Download data from interactive report

Hi all. I'm on apex 3.1.1.00.09.
I have this problem: when I download data from interactive report I can download only in CSV and PDF. If I try to download into pdf it creates a file of only 1 KB.
I would know if I must configure my apex in order to download correctly in pdf and if I must configure it in order to download in doc and xls format.
Thanks all for collaboration,
Fabrizio

Thank you for your reply.
I am able to download the csv file, but my problem is: I don't want the column headings to show.
Is it possible to download only the data, not the column headings?

Remove Reschedule jobs from Developer Reports Sever 6i

Dear All,
Please guide me how i can remove reschedule jobs from Developer Reports 6i
Regards
USMAN ALI

Install Forms in one directory (You can have reports in the same
directory).
Install oracle DB in another directory.
Don't change any file and reboot.
The listener will start automatically as a service.
(If not from a command line write "lsnrctl start" to start it).
To connect from forms/report to the DB you need to activate the
sqlnet easy config tool from the directory where forms is.
Follow the wizard to define an entry in the tnsnames.ora file
automatically.
Then you can use your forms with the DB.
(IF you get problems it usually helps to let us know the error
code you get so we can direct you in the correct direction).

Remove HTML from Interactive report download

I have interactive reports where the column link on a specific column has to be dynamic, that means, it cannot be hard coded in the column link attributes. The following is an example of one such report query:
case when d.object_type_description ='Business Service' then
'< href="f?p='||:app_id||':183:'||:app_session||'::::P183_OBJECT_ID:'||d.id||'">'||d.object_name||'</>'
when d.object_type_description = 'Real Time Event' then
'< href="f?p='||:app_id||':162:'||:app_session||'::::P162_OBJECT_ID:'||d.id||'">'||d.object_name||'</>'
else
   null
end as "OBJECT NAME"As you see in the above example, the link on the "Object Name" column could either redirect to page 183 or to page 162 based on the "Object Type Description" column.
The column attribute of the "Object Name" column has "Display Type" set to "Standard Report Column". That works perfectly fine in the UI of the report. However, if I download the IR data (in any format) from the Actions -> Download menu, the object name column values are downloaded with the HTML characters as:
< href="f?p=15548:183:6072319179284::::P183_OBJECT_ID:255245470513999672860510787772603748464">JP010000</>where JP010000 is the object name.
Is there a way I can strip the HTML from the column values in the downloaded files?
I am using Apex 4.1.

Rohit,
You can define the link in the query, make it hidden, use the value as column link URL. So, your query will look like the following:
d.object_name,
case when d.object_type_description ='Business Service' then
    'f?p='||:app_id||':183:'||:app_session||'::::P183_OBJECT_ID:'||d.id
when d.object_type_description = 'Real Time Event' then
    'f?p='||:app_id||':162:'||:app_session||'::::P162_OBJECT_ID:'||d.id
else
   null
end linkChange the display type of LINK column to Hidden. In column link, enter #OBJECT_NAME# as Link Text. Select URL as Target. Enter #LINK# as URL value. In APEX 4.2, you can do this in easier way by defining HTML Column Expression.

Christina

How to hide some column filter operators in Interactive Report

Hi,
I have an APEX 4.2 application what includes Interactive Report page.
Is there possibilty to hide or disable some filter operators in column filter?
But I don't want to disable all filter functionality for end users.
For example how to hide/disable operator "matches regular expression".
Some filter operators are too complicated for end users.
I have searhced but not found solution.

Erkki

I wouldn't really recommend this. Users will quickly recognise what works for them and avoid options that they do not currently understand. However, over time—through training or advice from more experienced users—they may come to understand and use all of the available features. Blocking access (especially in a non-standard way) to options that users may eventually need is likely to result in unnecessary development work now and at some (possibly inconvenient) time in the future.
That said, this really isn't difficult to implement using CSS. Use your browser web inspector to identify which filter types are to be blocked, using the value attribute of the filter Operator select list in the generated IR HTML. For example, in APEX 5.0 a filter operator select list looks like:
<select id="R70597672218719366505_STRING_OPT" class="a-IRR-operator" data-column-type="STRING" title="Operator" name="p_ignore_10" size="1">
<option value="=">=</option>
<option value="!=">!=</option>
<option value="is null">is null</option>
<option value="is not null">is not null</option>
<option value="like">like</option>
<option value="not like">not like</option>
<option value="in">in</option>
<option value="not in">not in</option>
<option value="contains">contains</option>
<option value="does not contain">does not contain</option>
<option value="regexp_like">matches regular expression</option>
</select>
The "matches regular expression" option has the value regexp_like, so the required CSS rule using the IR operator select list class and an attribute selector on the option value is:
.a-IRR-operator option[value="regexp_like"] {
display: none;
Additional selectors for other filter types can be added to this rule as required, for example:
.a-IRR-operator option[value="regexp_like"],
.a-IRR-operator option[value="is not null"] {
display: none;
to eliminate the "is not null" filter.
To implement this for all IRs in your application, create a custom CSS style sheet containing the rule, upload it to your workspace, and reference it in all of the page templates used for IR pages.
This is not a 100% foolproof solution. CSS is not an appropriate way to implement security restrictions. A web-savvy user could use their web inspector to disable the CSS rule and access the blocked filter(s). However there is little risk here as (1) it appears that your users will lack the required expertise; and (2) doing so will only allow them to further filter data they already have access to.

Deletion of filter components from Bex Report in BI 7.0 via back end.

Hi,
I want to delete 2 filter field components from the BI 7.0 report via back end. Im using the Tcode RSZDELETE and giving the variable element UID, Inforprovide name, query tech name. But when i excute it says empty selection.
Other than this is there any way to delete query components at back end???
Regards,
Nisha

Thanks for the reply!
This is to delete the variable created??
My requirement is query specific , the restriction on the IO , ie the variable to be removed via back end.. that means deletion from that report..
hope my statement is clear enough to give me some light .

Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
and
Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
(response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
"Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter

Can I link from Interactive report Page 1 to Master Detail page 2?

Hi folks-
I know how to create a Page as an Interactive Report; it creates 2 pages automatically (primary page with the great interactive bar) and a 2nd page that's a single record.
I know how to create a Page as Master Detail, whereby I get a tabular list without the super interactive bar, and I can select a record, and get transported to a nice page with 2 regions (master on top, detail on bottom).
I want to have the First page from the Interactive Report, select the record, and go to the 2nd page of a MasterDetail.
Do I create the Interactive Report, and customize the 2nd page, to add a region?
Or, do I create both page types, and redirect from the 1st page of the Interactive Report to the DML Form from the MD report? I tried that, re-assigning the link from the Interactive Report to be a Link to Custom Target, and specify the page # of the Master-Detail page. And it is taking me to the right page, but the data from the selected row is not coming with me, and the detail in the bottom region is not appearing at all.
Can someone please give me a nudge as to the sequence I should be doing?
(As you can tell, I'm new to Apex.... I'm trying to use it to create a prototype or proof-of-concept for a database driven web application)
Thank you
Marion

Yes, I tried that after I wrote to you - and it's fine, but not what I'm after; it's only based on 1 table and I'm working with 2 tables.
Perhaps I can explain in better.
I want one page as an interactive tabular report (of the master records)
I want to select a row, and transfer to a page that has the corresponding row on top (as a form), and a tabular region below of records from a related detail table.
ie, I want page 1 from the Interactive Report, and page 2 of the Master Detail report.
OK - I just took the form page, and added a region below in a tabular report. And I'm getting the data, but I'm getting all the records (not just the ones associated with the single record on top. I figure I need to edit the Region Definition->Source (to specify that the id numbers need to match), but the code is not editable.....
So I am in Structured Query Attributes, and I've Modified the Join Conditions - but I still get all the detail records in the bottom region. I''m trying to add in the ( + ) qualifier, but it doesn't affect anything...
I'm soo close to what i'm trying to do!
Thank you for your continued patience and assistance
Marion
here's the Source I have for the region..... (I'm including the excess ID columns just for learning purposes)
SELECT
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONE_ENTITY_ID" "PHONE_ENTITY_ID",
"ENTITIES"."ENTITY_ID" "ENTITY_ID",
"ENTITIES"."FIRSTNAME" "FIRSTNAME",

Error in exporting from Interactive Report to PDF format

Hello,
i am using APEX and from an Interactive Report i am trying to export using Download | PDF format. The table and corresponding report has only text fields. Database character set is UTF-8. Up to now i haven't been able to get a PDF file that can be open from Adobe Acrobat Reader. Every file fails opening with message like "Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf, because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This happens for every report i have tried up to now. If i export report in CSV format all are ok.
Is there a known bug with PDF download of APEX?
TIA

See this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
FOP & Cocoon are free (just need to install the software and configure) Bi Publisher I believe works only for Standard Reports and no Interactive reports at this time.. If you have the $$ BI Publisher is worth the investment!!
Also, it is rumored that APEX 4.0 will have the PDF generation built in as apposed to the current model where you need to bolt something on..
Thank you,

Unable to open PDF output (PDF downloaded from Interactive Report--APEX)

Hi,
I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramamuni.

Steps of pdf Printing of Report from FOP:
1) Download and unzip the following needed files in D:\Apex_fop directory.
2) Open your command prompt .
Change the directory to D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11.
Set the Java_Home environment variable as: set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21
then type build war
3) After getting the prompt back as D:>Apex_fop>cocoon-2.1.11>
Copy coocon.war file from the folder D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon.
Paste this file into webapps subdirectory in main tomcat directory having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps.....place it in the top
level of webapps directory.
4) Now just startup tomcat as D:>APEX_FOP>apache-tomcat-6.0.26>bin>startup.bat
The cocoon.war file will automatically uncompressed as directory.
5) To change the port of apache tomcat , edit apache-tomcat-6.0.26\conf\server.xml & change port attribute of Connector element from 8080 to 8181.
Just check whether Tomcat is running or not as http://localhost:8181/
& to check cocoon type http://localhost:8181/cocoon/
6) Now copy fop_post directory & paste it undes new cocoon directory in webapps having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps
\cocoon.
7) Now you need to do some apex settings as follows:
In APEX, just log in as ADMIN into apex/apex_admin and went to Instance Settings and did the following:
- Print Serverr: Standard Support
- Print Server Protocol: HTTP
- Print Server Host Address:localhost
- Print Server Port: 8181
- Print Server Script: /cocoon/fop_post
In your APEX application, in the Regions section, Click on the Print link next to your report and do the following settings:
- Enable Report Printing: Yes
- Link Label: Print
- Response Header: Report Settings
- View File As: Attachment
- Output Format: PDF
- Report Layout: Default Report Layout
- Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1063230002781575
8) Open up the Report Page and click Print , You will get the pdf report.
I am sure this will help you
