Report column data disappears

Hi OBI Gurus ,
We are using prebuilt OBI rpd for demo to client. In that for the subject area named 'Sales - Orders, Backlog and Invoices' for the Fact - Sales Backlog Lines and for the column Financial Backlog Amount we are getting the problem in the report side. Problem is that when we take the column in answer we don't get the data but when we add other column with it then we get data. Now this problem is related only with this perticular column of this subject. This column has been used for our new reports which are embedded with dashboard. Now because of this only it is not showing data on dashboard. Main thing this column was showing the data previously but one full load occured and problem started.What could be the reason that this is happening ?

Hi Folks,
I have been come through the problem by upgrading it from 10.1.3.3 to 10.1.3.4 what do you think how it happened?

Adding characteristic to report makes data disappear(BEx)

Can anyone help me out regarding why records are disappearing from query(BEx) when any attribute of XYZ_SALES is added.

Hi Sridhar,
Please check if there is any Restriction in BEX Query where you are excluding all records with 0MAT_SALES = #.
Also if master data 0mat_sales is not maintained no data will come for its attribute as well in the report i.e if that order/document is not present in master data it will not flow in report also.

Few values of report column do not display in report while applying filter

Post Author: anuragg11
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
There are 6 drill filters applied on the report to filter out the report column data. Few values of the report are not displaying in the report when using drill filter. Same issue is with report filter too. If filters are removed then values are appearing in the report. We are using version BO XI R2 & Java runtime JRE 1.4v. It doesn't look issue is with Java version because only few specific data of the report column are not shown in the report when using filter on the data. Example: One of Report data column contains below values: 24.2, 26.9, 120.1, 230, 274.9, 275.8, 333.2 Report is displaying all these values when there is no filter on any data. But report doesn't display data when applying filter on 274.9 or 120.1 howver filter on other values 24.2, 26.9, 230, 275.8, 333.2 are working fine.

Hello,
I think i know what your problem is.
Although in table view your 2 requests combine perfectly and show separate results in pivot view BI unfortunaterly adds them up.
One work around would be to go in your criteria add in each request a dummy column. This can be obtained the following way:
1. click on a column to add it in the criteria (it doesnt matter which one)
2. go into the edit formula of that column
3. delete the formula and in its place write 'Dummy Column 1'
Do the same for the second request by adding a "Dummy Column 2'
Now the Pivot Table should also show up correctly
Let me know if it goes well or if you have any further questions,

Calculated field makes data disappear in report

Hi Gurus,
I have here unique problem of data disappearance columns included in the report are
year (time -dim), order number (backlog details - dim) , total backlog (f), rma backlog (f) , shipping backlog (f), hold backlog (f) . All are from same fact table. Now rma , shipping , hold are calculated columns and total backlog is base column.
Filter : Year = 2009 , Order number = 11111 .
result of the above report is (without filter)
2009 ,11111 , 4.0 , 0.0 , 4.0 , 4.0
When I take out hold_backlog column I get the data
2009,11111, 4.0 , 0.0 , 4.0
but when I put the hold_backlog data does not come.
Now when I move any column excluding total_backlog afer order number then I get the data but it gives 0 to all derived column and in session query points to original column taking out the case statement .
Second weird thing here is when i put case statement in hold_backlog as { CASE WHEN USJ_Analytics."Dim USJ Ord Hold"."Hold Id" IS NOT NULL THEN USJ_Analytics."Fact USJ Sales Backlog".Shipping_Backlog ELSE 0 END }
Here automatically not come before after saving.
{ CASE WHEN NOT USJ_Analytics."Dim USJ Ord Hold"."Hold Id" IS NULL THEN USJ_Analytics."Fact USJ Sales Backlog".Shipping_Backlog ELSE 0 END }
May be there is problem in case statement , could you pls help asap as I think this hold column culprit but dont know how ?

Amol,
In the formula for the column causing the error, try adding an IfNull function to put 0 in place of the null, that might work.

How to highlight break column data in an interactive report?

Relates to an interactive reports V4.x :
In the break column area in an IR report, the labels and data seem to be very vanilla and hard to distinguish particularly if you break on more than one column. When I move a non-break column with a highlight defined (set on cell) into the break position, the highlighting disappears.
Is it possible to somehow retain the highlight colour on break column data?
Any hints?
thanks in advance

How to display data in interactive report column without colons (:)

Dear Apex gurus,
I'm a newbie and have just created an Apex application from a spreadsheet. I've created a named list of values and used it in a checkbox against a field in the default page 3 Create form.
When I've selected multiple values in my check box in the form, the data in the interactive report appears as one line with colons separating the selected values like this: Dog:Cat:Bird
What I would like is to have the data appear in the interactive report column as a multi-line list like this:
Dog
Cat
Bird
I can work around this by modifying the SQL code in the Region Source of the Region Definition of the report (Default Page 1 interactive report) to replace the colons with 
SELECT replace("PETS_CHOSEN",':',' ') "PETS_CHOSEN", FROM "MYAPP" Note: this doesn't format properly in the posting. I replace the colon with a html br
This works, but seems to be a hack to me. I am guessing that I've missed a simple option setting somewhere, but I can't find it.
The other problem with this solution is that when I export the report to Excel, what is exported is Dog Cat Bird, which is seems worse than colons.
Thanks,
- Morgan

Hi Morgan,
I think you have at least two choices:
1 - Replace the colons with ', ' (comma and space) - sort of reasonable on screen and in an export
2 - Create a second page that has the same report but uses the "export: csv" template. Create a manual link to this page to replace the standard Export link. When such report pages are requested, they download immediately instead of displaying. You can, therefore, use commas in this one and tags in the on-screen report version
Andy
ps - To display tags in a post, use &lt; for < and &gt; for >

APEX CSS - How do I get data in report columns to wrap?

I found information here http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/APEX_FAQ
About How do I get data in report columns to wrap?
This works and another way to do it is by adding the CSS directly into the
Home>Application Builder>Application 137>Page 1>Report Attributes>Column Attributes page
in the Column Formatting area. I added 'white-space:normal' and this works in FF but in
IE it has a different behavior.
In FireFox
testasdgadhad
gadfadgadgadg
adgafhsrgjsgnsfg
nsdfbadfafhafha
dfhadfh
In Internet Explorer
testasdgadhad gadfadgadgadg adgafhsrgjsgnsfg nsdfbadfafhafha dfhadfh
Is there a way to force it so it display in IE the same way that it displays in FF?
The correct display format is FF.
Thanks,
Nestor :)

I have try this because I found it during a search and it makes no difference in IE.
This is what I am using now 'display: block; width: 100px;max-width:100px;white-space:normal'
I also tried 'display:block; width:500px'
If I use the values 'normal' or 'pre' for white-space' it works in FireFox but not in IE, The display block
does not seem to make a difference. It seems that all I need is 'white-space:normal' but again
it does not works on IE.
Thanks,
Nestor :-)

Implicit date format conversion of report column

Hello,
The following expression defines date format for report column implicitly and doesn't reflect FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE with language independent format mask of the column attribute anymore:
decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
end_date is of TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE type, format mask of the column attribute: DS TS
Is it expected behavior?
Thanks

ThanksThe reason might be that you compare different datatypes in the SQL statement. The output of decode depends on those parameters.
You can cast the column to a specific datatype or you make sure that your wanted datatype is used during the decode.
example
decode(end_date, to_timestamp_tz('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
or
cast(decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) as timestamp(0) with local time zone) closed

Multiple Data Columns in one report column

How do I list multiple columns returned from a select vertically within one report column. For instance, I have three statuses for a project that I want to list, I'd like to list the three statuses within one status column. I remember seeing this somewhere but cannot find it now. Example:
Status Column
Budget: Green
Schedule: Red
Issues: Yellow

additionally you could use HTML expressions. When editing your report, click on the column you want to use for displaying multiple data columns. This will take you to the report columns attributes page, there you can type in something like the following into the HTML expression field, referencing other report columns using #COLUMN_NAME# substitutions:
#BUDGET#
#SCHEDULE#
#ISSUES#
this is assuming your column aliases are named BUDGET, SCHEDULE and ISSUES. You can then just hide the columns that you don't want to see because the data is already shown using the HTML expression.

Data disappears when a field is added to report

I have a report that uses two files. The first one has a field called "amount code", and the second includes that code field as well as a description of the code.
But when I link that second file to the first one, data disappears when I drag a field from the second file into the report. The first 10 fields in the report are from the first file, and they look fine. But as soon as I drag in any of the fields from the second file, all of the data in the report disappears. (This happens no matter where I drag that field to...data, page headers, etc.)
I'm pretty sure I have the files linked correctly. Can anyone tell my why this happens?
(When I use the either file by itself, things look fine.)
Thanks, Jon

Hi Raghavendra,
I think I have it figured out (or more accurately, our DBA figured it out for me).
The problem is that in the main file, the code field is only one digit long (string). But in the second file (the code description file), that code field is 8 digits long, even though only the first digit has any data (followed by 7 blanks). Therefor CR doesn't see any matches.
It looks like the solution is to truncate the field in the code description file so it's only one digit long instead of 8.
But thanks for the help...I'm clearly over my head, and very much appreciate your assistance.
Jon

Reports on data changes

Hi all!
I've been searching for the most simple solution for tracking changes made to database data. I know there are some posts about this already but I haven't fuound suitable solution yet. I've been searcing for Orcale built in solutions and came up with Workspace manager and AUDIT statement for keeping the track on data changes.
I'm wondering, is there another option to do this or is it best to make own history tables and triggers on INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE? If these history tables have similar structure like original tables, what happens when table is altered, a column is added or dropped?
All I need is to be able to make reports on data changes. Basically I need to know who changed what column, what the old value was (NULL on INSERTs) and what the new value is (NULL on DELETEs).
Does anyone have any simple and effective solution for this. Maybe some Oracle built in feature I haven't found out about yet? (We're using 10gR2)
Thank you in advance!
BB

Well I came up with some solution :).
Since we have our owns user and timestamp fields on almost every table and triggers, taht fill these two columns, it wasn't that difficult after you suggested your solution.
I include my user column into change table and in JDeveloper in application module I've overridden the prepareSession method with custom method that sets identifier on the database. It looked OK. Bu now I have a couple of questions about CDC and really hope for some answers since I'm running a little out of time and would appreciate any help from someone that uses CDC or knows more about it than I do.
I've been reading literature and found out, that there is a job executing every 24 hours that clears all data changes that is not subscribed to some subscriber. I thought I could use only the publisher for my history records but looks like I was wrong. So I've created a subscriber. My questions are:
1. Do I need a subscriber or can I keep history without and make reports on change tables?
2. Even if I need subscriber, how can I be sure, that data from change tables or subscriber views won't disappear eventually?
As I mentioned I need some kind of a history of data changes recording option and went after CDC. I hope I made the right decision and would really like to found out the answers to my questions.
Thank you all in advance!
Take care.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser.

There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
 String tableName = "Building";
 String fieldname = "Building_Name";
 Table oTable = new Table();
 oTable.setName(tableName);
 oTable.setAlias(tableName);
 oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
 oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;

 field.setLength(40);
 fields.add(field);
 oTable.setDataFields(fields);
 oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
 rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
 oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
 oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 // Now add it to the section
 oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
 oFieldObject.setTop(120);
 oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
 oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
 rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

Report Column Heading Alignment - Center Not Working Correctly

I am using Apex 2.1 (XE) and now have an application with about 30 pages. I've noticed that some of my reports which have columns with a heading alignment of "center" are not always centering if they have columns that align to the left or right included before them. I looked at the generated HTML and it shows that align="LEFT" or align="RIGHT" is being generated in the source even when the column heading is set to center in the designer. It appears that if a field higher on the list says to align the column heading left or right, then that is what the following columns are going to do also if they are set to center. So column heading left and right works great, and center works only if all the columns are set to center.
My question: Is this a known bug? Is it something that can be scheduled for a fix at some point in the future?
Luckily the column data itself obeys the column alignment, so this is strictly a cosmetic problem with the column headings.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello,
What theme are you using?
Try setting them with a css decalration. Instead of align="right" put this is in the heading attribute
style="text-align:right;" or style="text-align:left;"

Passing parameter from interactive report column link to new page

I'm very simply trying to pass the value of the column link to the where clause on the next page.
Interactive Report on P2 has column link fid alias in sql query.
I read somewhere to refer prefix the interactive report column with IR ??
So I have item name P2_FID, value #FID#. Anyway, I've tried a kazillion things.
Created a hidden item with same source value... sigh.
Is there a syntax to refer to a report column link, rather than an item_id in a region where clause?
Is there a simple direct way to do this?
Thanks,
Pamela
-----pls/apex/f?p=163:1:2746459963336955::NO::P2_FID:119

Thank you Varad...
Unfortunately, I am still getting no data found. (and there IS data).
a) Do you mean in the link column section of the report attributes? that is done: item 1 name= IR_P2_FID, value = #FID#
b) Do you mean my changing my hidden page item to ir_p2_fid with its source value as #FID# ? also done.
Do I need this hidden item?, and if not how do I refer to link in the where clause of the called page's sql region?
3) Where Fishery_id = :IR_P2_FID
Where Fishery_id = &IR_P2_FID
Thanks again!
Pamela
