Report 2.5 Question

Hi all,
In USER PARAMETER, in_status, I created a select statement on Data/Selection page like that for user to choose:
select null from dual
union
select 'Y' from dual
union
select 'N' from dual
union
select 'ALL' from dual
And the problem was happened, in the query, how can I specify the selection criteria in the where clause? I tried this:
select .... from table a where ...and (a.status = :in_status or :in_status is null);
But the result is not correct.
Remarks:
In table a, the field 'status' contains value 'Y', 'N' and null. User want to print the report by choosing 'Y' / 'N' / null or print all status.
How can solve it?
Thanks for any advance!
Regards.

Solved. Thx!

    9iR2 OLAP Reporting Server Capacity Question
    We are running Oracle 9iR2 with OLAP.

    Our AWs are typically 30GB in size. My question is, what is my capacity of jdbc thin client user sessions per box? I haven't been able to find much documentation on scalability with large AWs and a large user base. We will need to host reports for 6000 users moving to 16000 by next year.
    We will be switching to 2x 1.6ghz 64bit opteron boxes this year sometime as well.

  • Grouping in rtf template like oracle reports - a newbie question

    Hello all
    I am new to BI Publisher and have probablly a silly question to ask.
    I have a basic query that returns a flat xml file which looks something like this. it will have multiple rows.
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW num="1">
    <DATE>01-DEC-2007</DATE>
    <PACKAGE>XXX </PACKAGE>
    <DROP_OFF>Hotel1</DROP_OFF>
    <ROOM>1</ROOM>
    <NAME>Test Customer</NAME>
    <PROBLEM_RECORDED>N</PROBLEM_RECORDED>
    <EXCEPTION>1</EXCEPTION>
    </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    Because i am fairly new to xml i am at a loss trying to work out how i can form a template that will effectively allow grouping at say
    1. Date Level
    2. Package Level
    3.Drop Off level
    4. put all other data in here
    In reports i would just do groups and alter the layout accordingly. Obviously if i had an oracle report version of the sql that generates the xml then i could just generate the xml from the report and i would get the xml i am looking for .
    But I am working with basic sql not reports and am wondering What do I have to do with my xml to get it looking live the grouping I mention above, given all i have to play with is the example xml I included. I am really bamboozled and think i am missing something simple.
    I dont want to have to write multiple queries with different groupings using cast , multiset as I thought one of the benefits of BI Publisher was one query multiple layouts.
    Thanks
    Lisa

    If you haev word plugin installed,
    please follow the documentation and try using that,
    load the xml in the word plugin
    and then select insert table/form and then you can do the drag and drop,
    and group by each fields.

  • Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

    I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response. 
    I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806  
    I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports.  The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx.  I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
    I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI.  I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI.  I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
    Questions:
    Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI?  Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
    I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI. 
    Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
    Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005?  Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition?  My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
    Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
    How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle?  It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005?  Where does 10.5 fit in?
    My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app.  Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app.  But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

    To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
    If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
    If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
    The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is.  Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
    The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

  • Closed Auto Loan Reporting As Open Question

    I have an auto loan reporting across all bureaus as open but in good standing. I suppose that is well and good except for the fact that the loan was closed in Dec of last year. My question...would having the loan shown as open reduce my credit score or do you think it's helping? I've heard having a loan of that nature close can reduce your score so I'm not sure what to do about it. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

    Well, see whether you get any other feedback from other folks on here.  But if I were you, I'd just end up having some low grade anxiety if I had a record on my report that claimed I owed a big chunk of money for something I didn't.  The explanation, I assume, is that the creditor never updated the record to show that you paid off the loan. Unless someone here tells you differently, I'd reach out to the lender and confirm with them that they agree that you paid off the loan in December.  If they do agree, explain that they haven't yet updated the final status of the account to show that you paid it off -- and ask them to do that.  That way you'll end up with an accurate report that shows future creditors that you can manage and pay off a car loan. I have allowed incorrect data to stay on my report when it is absolutely 100% positive.  This is a bit of a mixed bag: a record that falsely asserts you still owe a creditor a good chunk of change.  Whetever benefit you get out of it being "open" doesn't seem worth it to me.  But see what other people say.

  • Discoverer Report Scheduling Permissions question

    Quick question,
    i have a report which runs fine for all users, however when scheduled for certain users the report fails to return data. The report uses a folder with a call to the GL_SECURITY_PKG in the SQL. I have removed this and the report appears to run when scheduled, the above package gets the responsibility info from the FND_GLOBAL.RESP_ID function and checks it against the GL set up for security when viewing GL data.
    I’m thinking that whatever runs the scheduled workbooks isn’t picking up the user and responsibility that scheduled the report? This is a hunch – can anyone explain more?
    Thanks

    Edited by: SolHill on 01-Nov-2011 09:45

    Hi Sol
    That is correct. The user and responsibility are only used during the session when the user is connected to the database.
    Whenever a scheduled workbook is run in an APPS-mode environment the user running it will be APPS. This user is a database user and does not log in with a responsibility therefore the FND_GLOBAL.RESP_ID will not be set.
    Best wishes

  • Reports 6i integration questions

    Reports Services is registered as an application in Portal and that
    registration includes a number of parameters which control the idle time of
    each report engine process, the total number of report engine processes to
    run at any one time and the number of requests each process should service
    before gracefully exiting.
    My question is this: assuming that we have a configuration with a maximum of
    1 reporting engine process and we have 100 users request reports at the same
    time. The first request goes to the engine, which starts working on it.
    1. I presume that the other 99 requests are queued until the reporting
    engine process can get around to them. Is that correct?
    2. If the requests are queued, what feedback does the user get? A nice
    screen saying "Your report has been queued, you are number 29 in the queue"?
    3. Can we configure the portal / reports services to output the report to a
    particular place in the portal so users who have had reports queued can
    retrieve them when they have had a chance to be serviced by the report
    engine process?
    Cheers,

  • Summary report displaying incorrect questions.

    My summary report shows the incorrect text/question from my form. I used a form template and changed the text in the questions, but the old (template) text shows up when I pull up the summary report. How do I correct this?

    It looks like the choice in the "View Responses" table was likely edited and that is what is now "out of sync", the label in the Summary Report tiles match that of the View Response Table.  I only see the one label for "Succinct" being out of sync.  You can change that corresponding column header in the Response Table (under "Please reflect on the following attributes of Jane-Rachel in her role as facilitator:") from "Seminar location was convenient." to "Succinct" and that will update the Summary Report tile label as well.  If any others don't match update them on the View Responses tab and that will update the Summary Report tiles.
    If you do this, change the View Responses label to match the field, they will now be "in sync" again so that if you changed the label again in the form the View Responses column header and Summary Report tile would change to match.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with reporting and additional question

    Hello,
    1st Question:
    I have ran into an issue with the interal server reporting.
    If the file is published as an html file, then the reporting works as intended
    (Able to see with Quiz Analyzer due to it creating an xml file in the appropriate folder)
    However, if I publish the file as a swf file, the reporting does not seem to be working at all.
    Does this mean that swf reporting is not supported with the internal server? or?
    2nd Question
    When reporting likert, as expected the quiz analyzer makes it so that we have go into each individual person to see their inputs.
    With that I am able to export it as an excel file for each individual person.
    However, is there a way to mass export all the individual responses as 1 excel file with the quiz analyzer?
    (Would it be better using Adobe Connect for reporting, or other lms systems?)
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Hi,
    Quick thigh when you get an error stating "unknown error" means something wrong with your server internal post result php or some cross domain issue. It will be great if you can send us the project for analysis. Please send your project on [email protected]
    Will analyze your issue and will get back to you, also I insist if you can provide few steps you opted while setting internal server reporting and the internal server on some machine. This will be very helpful to trace the issue.

  • Interactive Reports - SQL Source Question

    Background
    Apex 3.1 is installed on Oracle 10g instance on local machine but all data is stored on a remote machine on Oracle 9 & 10 instances.
    This data is also used by another piece of software, which directly manipulates the data.
    The Apex Application that I am developing is to be used as a Quick Find/KPI Reporting tool and is setup to utilise DBLinks and Synonyms.
    Within the remote data, we have a mapping table that contains user specific alias' for field names, which the users set using the other piece of software. There can be up to 5 mappings per table field each defined as LNG01, LNG02,etc.
    In order to provide the same field Alias' in the Apex application, I have created a PL/SQL function to return the field alias and return a string value containing the final SQL.
    Problem
    In standard reports, this would work correctly as you could return a SQL statement in a string and it handled it with no problems.
    However, due to Interactive Reports not supporting this, I have tried to find code to pass in the string SQL Statement to return a TABLE or PIPELINED datasource.
    The string SQL statement will vary for each time it is used so the string SQL statement is effectively built as dynamic SQL
    This causes as problem as I will never be able to define the ROWTYPE for a type TABLE variable as the field names will not be constant.
    Can you tell me if there is any way to create a SQL source that could be used for the Interactive Report based on dynamic SQL?
    Alternatively, if you can provide any alternatives to finding a solution I would be most grateful.
    Apologies if this question has been posted before.
    Thanks in advance.
    Stuart

    Stuart,
    You could:
    1) Create page items, one for each dynamic column header (e.g. P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER, etc).
    2) Create a page process, to run when the page is loaded, that populates each item with the appropriate text. This can pull the column header text from your remote source.
    3) Use a static query as your interactive report source:
        select objname,
               objuniqueid,
               objtypecode,
               objsitearea,
               objdesc,
               objdesc2,
               objlocationid,
               objcommission
          from cdoweb_om4) Edit the interactive report attributes -- use APEX substitution string syntax to reference the item values (e.g. "&P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER." without the quotes) instead of static column headers.
    For more information on using substitution strings:

  • Crystal Report Service Pack Question

    Hi,
      I have some question regarding Crystal Report Service Pack for different version respectively :-

    1.  I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
    Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ?  Which SP6 I should install, preferably a link to that SP would be great. 
    NOTE: I am a VS.NET 2003 and 2005 developer.

  • Report Amount Column Question

    This is a silly question I'm sure but in terms of calculating the amount column in a report should you just calculate it by taking all the debit / credit balances for all P&L accounts or is there some other method typically used?  Also can someone confirm the following?
    P&L
    debit balance = positive (expenses), credit balance = negative (revenue)
    Edited by: Hari Nair Junior on Jun 5, 2009 1:17 AM

    HI
    P&L = Sales/ Revenue   Minus Expenses
    Yes , debit balance = positive (expenses), credit balance = negative (revenue.
    Please note that you need to consider only P&L type account of a list of GL Balances . Other accounts will be of the Balancesheet . Where Debit will be Assets and Credit will be liabilities.
    Hope this helps

  • Crystal Reports - Some Basic Questions

    Hi I am a student from Germany and I need to try Crystal Reports for a couple of days for my diploma thesis.
    My first smal question is: Whats the basic programming language that CR is based on?
    As far as I can judge it - its VBA right?
    The focus of me thesis is the chart creation ....
    Question 2: Is there a better solution from SAP to create Charts ... the Chart-Assistent from Crystal Report is pretty nice to work with -  but imagine i dont want to create a report but just visualize some data in a chart for a quick overview of - lets say my market situation - is crystal reports the most edvanced way, that is also available in a trial version - to create charts.
    Please please help me and answer my questions.
    greetz
    till
    ps: please excuse my english, i may make some bad mistakes from time to time =)I)

    Hi
    About the charts: Depends on your requirements what exactly you want to implement.
    There are Xcelsius, Crystal Reports both that you can create charts with.
    I would sugest you to go through the docuemntations of Crystal Reports and Xcelsius first. So that you can be sure what all you can do using these tools.
    Please download the product documentations from help.sap.com
    Hope this helps!!

    "iText is an ideal library for developers looking to enhance web- *and other applications* .."
    That was something I discovered after searching for iText and taking the top link. It took about 10 seconds. Perhaps you should RTFM more carefully in future.
    ..What can i use for a desktop application. Is that a question?
    ...i am new to this, ..Applying your 'shift' key at the start of each sentence? It's easy. Simply hold down the shift key while typing the first letter in the sentence.
    ..so can some one tell me a suitable technology and sample codes to understand it.Can you pay me? I've never dealt with iText before. But for a suitable fee, I'll look into it.
    Alternately, you might
    - go back to the documentation
    - read it carefully
    - try some experiments on your own and
    - if/when you strike a problem, ask a specific question (and add a '?' to the end of that question)

  • Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports 8.5 - question

    Hi all,
    Have a question regarding UCCX Historical Reports. Ran daily reports for "Agent Not Ready Reason Code" report for a complete week and exported them to Excel. Excel shows a SUM for daily values that differs from what UCCX shows in Weekly report.
    Although it is a slight difference, I would like to know why UCCX and Excel display different values. Would it be due the way UCCX handles decimal value?
    Image below shows the sum for the complete week and every one of the daily values
    This is what Excel displays as a sum for same daily values:
    Thanks so much for the help you can provide

    The "Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Scheduler" sits in my startup folder but seems like it doesn't "run" at startup. So I ran a "test":
    - Manually right-clicked the "Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Scheduler" icon in the startup folder and chose "Run as Administrator"
    I didn't log off or reboot PC and the reports are running again. I checked the "properties" of the icon and I did make sure it was already set to "Run this program as an Administrator" under the "Compatibility" tab.
    Not sure why it's not working...
    Thank you for any help you can provide....
