Report attributes - layout and pagination

When you set the pagination scheme to Row Ranges X to Y(with next and previous links), Number of Rows to 15 and Max Row count to 1000, I need to know what happens with the query. When the user selects the next (or previous) 15 records, does the region's query fire again and query all 1000 (or more) records?
I hope this makes since. I just need to know if the application is selecting all the records over and over as the user move through the report.
Thanks

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
That is indeed the point I am trying to make.
My report is a SQL Query (PL/SQL Function body returning SQL Query) and is based on information provided in several PopUp LOVs. The more LOVs used, the more information provided to the WHERE CLAUSE, and therefore the less data returned to the screen.
When the End User produces a small report, they are likely to want to sort it.
But when they bring back huge amounts of data, they don't want it sorted. Especially not automatically sorted.
In most cases, this is happening when we are joining two or three tables with say 10 million rows on each table. The join condition is good (meaning there is not a Cartesian Product) but the resultant data is 10 million rows - something you not likely want to sort. Even with a limit on the number of rows returned (Report Attributes - Layout and Pagination - Max Row Count) to something reasonable, like 500, the 10 million resultant rows are first being sorted and then the first 500 returned.
So, yes, a "sort-enabled" report should NOT automatically sort. Which is what is happening.
Of course, it might be a good thing to have some sort of Variable that we could set on a page to decide if we want automatic sorting. On most pages, an automatic sort is great - as the amount of data returned will always be small.
On the pages where I have this problem, it would be great to do the automatic sort when one or more of the PopUp LOVs are populated. So, within a "After Submit" process I might want to turn automatic sorting on.
Hey, if we are going to ask for an enhancement/change, we might as well ask for something really flexible.

  • Layout and Pagination... Limiting my data to top 500 records

    Hi,
    My report is based on SQL, it's displaying only top 500 records... May I know how to fix it...?
    I've tried different options under Report attibutes -> Layout and Pagination but no success yet
    Thanks

    Try closing OAE and the application if running.. Seems like the changes don't take effect until you come back into OAE... At least that is what mine does.

  • On transaction FBL3N  report change layout and save layout icons  not activ

    Hi,
    I am working on upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC6.0. On transaction FBL3N  report change layout and save layout icons  not active; only select layout icon is active.
    Please advise how these two icons can be activated.

    Hi,
    The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
    contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70.
    Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
    most restricted one: You can only select layouts which have
    been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
    named above are inactive with activity 03.
    I guess that your user-id have set activity 03 for this object.
    The SAP notes 374656 and 409190 are recommended.
    So, if the values 01 and 02 are not included, then
    the user can't change and save layouts.
    For the line item display in FI the authorization
    object FI_IT_ALV has been created as an extra security check in addi-
    tion to the ALV authorization object S_ALV_LAYO.
    Please check note 374656 where you should be able to find
    relevant info about this. Also note 637554 should be helpful.

  • Report - Layout and Pagination bug

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle 10g XE. I was trying to add pagination to a report, it is working ok but if I select for the display position "Top and Bottom" only the bottom pagination is visible.
    Is this a bug?
    Catalin Florean.

    Hi,
    There are Top and Bottom – Left and Top and Bottom – Right.
    I suppose that you have something wrong in the SQL Query or in the report.
    Make a new report using the wizard. Then use Report Template – Standard and Top and Bottom – Left.

  • Apex 4.2.1: Region table layout and pagination

    See https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=57688:2
    Theme 24, table-based layout. Page template = One Level Tabs, Left Sidebar.
    All 4 regions are report regions using the report region and 2-column portlet as the region and report templates respectively.
    Regions 1.1 and 1.2 are supposed to be in the same row in different columns so 1.1 has New Grid=Yes and 1.2 has New Column=Yes. Ditto for 2.1 and 2.2
    1. Trial and error shows that simply changing the Pagination of report region 1.1 from None to Bottom-Right causes the layout to shift such that 1.2 moves to a grid row by itself! What is going on here? Surely a "trivial" change like whether pagination is displayed or not shouldn't cause such a major layout change. Am I missing something?
    2. Regions 2.1 and 2.2 stick together. How can we add some breathing room between them?
    3. If the page template is changed to One Level Tabs, No Sidebar, the behaviour changes. All the regions are rendered in 1 column, ignoring the New Column grid layout setting. Why is this?
    4. In general, with all the layout changes in 4.x, I was under the impression that, when using a HTML Table based page template, simply using the New Grid/New Row/New Column, etc attributes on the Region attributes would be sufficient to build pages with intuitive, declarative layouts with arbitrary "boxes" laid out on the page, regardless of the content/region type. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
    Can some CSS expert (here's looking at you, Paul) please share some insights on how all this works?
    Thanks

What is going on here? Surely a "trivial" change like whether pagination is displayed or not shouldn't cause such a major layout change. Am I missing something? No abstruse CSS here, just Pagination Sub-template and table-less layouts coming home to roost.
    Unlike the majority of report templates, the 2-column portlet report template doesn't have an outer HTML <tt>table</tt> to act as a container for the engine-generated pagination <tt>tr</tt>. The pagination row is thus treated by the browser as starting a new row in the current open table&mdash;the region layout. Having the pagination <tt>tr</tt> injected into the 2-column portlet source turns it into tag soup. The whole thing spectacularly fails HTML validation.
    I expect the official Oracle line is that 2-column portlet reports are not supposed to use pagination.
    2. Regions 2.1 and 2.2 stick together. How can we add some breathing room between them?Add this rule to the page Inline CSS. This will add some space on the left of all region cells except the first in the row.
    .regionlayout td+td {
      padding-left: 10px;
    3. If the page template is changed to One Level Tabs, No Sidebar, the behaviour changes. All the regions are rendered in 1 column, ignoring the New Column grid layout setting.

  • Multilanguage support in jsp reports (web layout) and in jsp general

    Hi!
    We have to develop multilingual applications, so we decide to use Oracle TranslationHub for translate our reports. This is restricted to paper layout at the moment.
    1.
    Are there plans to support jsp reports layouts through TranslationHub?
    2.
    I have played around whith some reports jsp tags (rw:), but it seems that it cannot reference boilerplates. If I could read the value from a paper layout boilerplate this would be a temporary solution, as all of our actual jsp reports contains paper layout as well and this I can translate with Oracle TranslationHub.
    3.
    Do you know any standard implementation for multilanguage support for jsp like resource files? Any hint to ducumentation would be helpful.
    With kind regards

  • Layout and Pagination Problem

    I had created a web page with a filter parameters on top of the web page and a report region with a report with an SQL query in PL/SQL Function Body Returning SQL Query. This is similar to the Issue Report in the Issue Tracker System example.
    The problem is if you are on the last page of this report and then click edit to edit the last record on this page and delete it in the edit webpage then when you return to the Report page, you will see something like 1-5 of 25 in the list with a Next link on the right. If I click the Next link it just displays the same page again. You have to select some other item in the list then it will display some data again. How can I avoid coming back to an empty web page? Or just at least display the previous button so they can go to the last page of data which is now the last page of data. This does not seem quite right here. Also a similar problem happens with filtering if you are on the last web page. Sorry I am wordy and also new to HTML DB!

    I get this problem as well. The workaround is to fire a reset pagination process when the submit/delete button is pressed.
    This will then reset the pagination to the first record on delete or submit avoiding the blank page problem (only draw back is you may be on the last record page and will now find your self back at the first record, but i think it beats getting a blank page!!)

  • TabExplorer layout and Paginator

    Hello!
    I am facing this incident:
    I am using a KM Navigation iView with a TabExplorer layoutset (the default layoutset provided by SAP). These KM Navigation & layoutset fail when I click on the pager links at the botton of the iview.
    I mean, when I click on the link in order to move to the next or previous page nothing happens, I am always stuck on the same page (by the way, the first page).
    I hope to be clearly enough.
    Any ideas??
    Any help will be welcome, and thanks in advance.

  • Report Attribute - Column Attribute - Sort

    I have a SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query) report. I have the number of returned limited to 100 rows (Report Attributes - Layout and Pagination - Max Row Count). When I run this report without any column sorts (none of the Column Attribute Sort columns are checked) it runs fast. If I set either the Sort Sequence, or check any one of the Sort columns, the report takes forever to run. This with only 100 rows on the report.
    Where is the sort being performed - Is the sort being performed within Oracle (meaning, in the database) or is it being sorted in Apex or on the Client?
    Note that there is no "order by" nor "group by" contained within the SQL - just a simple 2 table join (an inner join).

    Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
    That is indeed the point I am trying to make.
    My report is a SQL Query (PL/SQL Function body returning SQL Query) and is based on information provided in several PopUp LOVs. The more LOVs used, the more information provided to the WHERE CLAUSE, and therefore the less data returned to the screen.

  • Fail to parse SQL query after report attributes changes on sample app

    This errors occurs in the sample application istalled in Workspace PMW on the http://htmldb.oracle.com web site. Goto home page, edit Page 1, Select "Top Orders" in Region, select report attributes, change max count from 5 to 5 in "Layout and Pagination", apply changes, run page and parse SQL error occurs. Select "debug" and the following is shown regarding the query.
    0.10: query could not be parsed:
    SELECT a.ORDER_ID, a.ORDER_TIMESTAMP, a.CUSTOMER_ID,
    b.cust_last_name || ', ' || b.cust_first_name cust_name, NVL(a.ORDER_TOTAL, 0)
    FROM demo_orders a, DEMO_CUSTOMERS b
    WHERE a.customer_id = b.customer_id
    ORDER BY NVL(a.ORDER_TOTAL, 0) DESC order by 5 desc,5 desc
    failed to parse SQL query:
    ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
    I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong but maybe someone can shed some light on this!
    Thanks

    this is sort of an oversight on our part. what's going on is that the sample app installs with that order by clause in the query. at the same time, the report attributes page for that region has a default sort sequence value of "1 desc" (even though column heading sorting isn't enabled). when you go to that page and try to apply any change, htmldb tries to set things up correctly for you...and you end up with that double order by. the best way to avoid the issue is to remove the order by clause from the query on the Region Definition page.
    hope this helps,

  • Report Layout and Report Query APEX tables

    Does anyone know a quick way to delete report layouts and report queries from the APEX tables that they are stored in. We currently have to go into the shared components area and delete them one by one using the builder. If we could just get the table that they are stored in and delete them by name, that would be extremely useful. Oracle does not support this type of data manipulation.
    Thanks,

  • Layout and euro sign in reports 2.5
