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.

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.

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,
Andrew

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—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. Why is this?If this is the layout shown in your link above then I'm not reproducing it. Can you upload an export of your app and provide a link to it?

MB51 - report layout and detail list

We are running jobs with MB51 with a specific layout. when the report displays, we click the detail box to convert it to a one line report.
Is it possible t execute MB51 and have the detail list display - so this could be run in the background and the one line list display would be the spool file.
OR - Can I create a one line report with MAterial number oand vendor on each line with quantities, values etc.
thanks
Althea

I finally had a chance to look into this -
All report layouts are using a "header" line and a "Position" line
It is this Header and Position that are making it "not useful" as a download file at this level. As I said - if I click "details" - I get the report I'd really like to see for back ground process spool file or export file.
Any ideas how to create a report layout without the header and position line? or just no header line would work. When I try modifying an existing report - Material and Plant are always on the header line and not available on the position line.
Any and all help will be rewarded - thank you

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!!)

Digital Cinema Desktop Preview, keyboard layout and other bugs - Leopard

I just reinstalled my Mac Pro because I hoped it would fix some bugs... but no luck. Digital cinema desktop preview (dcdp) was working just fine until I installed the Aja Kona Lhe software, afterwards only dcdp for the main display was working, both dcdp and dcdp "full screen" have disappeared. The other things I was hoping 10.5.2 would fix are the problem FCP cannot remember the keyboard layout I use (azerty-belgium) - every time I start the program I have to choose the layout again - and the fact I cannot export using compressor straight from FCP using qmaster: Final cut pro generated an error! (this has never worked)
If you are having the same problems as I do, maybe we should compare hardware to see what we have in common that could be causing this problem. As I have found during my searches, some computers have similar problems, others don't, sometimes it also matters if you've upgraded from Tiger of did a clean install, where upgrading it seems (yes really!!) gives the least problems...
I really hope there will be a bugfix soon, because I'm sure I'm not the only one having these problems... or maybe I should just install Tiger and upgrade...???

I vote for going back to Tiger. That is known to be stable. Leopard and FCP is unpredictable at the moment.

Crystal Reports Layout and Time Field

Good evening Crystal Reports and SAP experts:
Beforehand i would like to thank everyone for the support thats always given, i appreciate it very much. Today yet again i find mysefl in a problem, when i try to take the field DocTime from table ORDR (creation time of a sales order) Crystal Reports displays it in a Integer Value format instead of a time format, (Example: 3:23 pm its 323 as number). I was hoping anyone would know how to extract the values as a time format.
Again thanks in advance.

You just need to create formula to split number and show the time format.
Thanks,
Gordon

Report layout and running totals

Hello everyone!
I need to pick some brains. I need some help. I came across with a report where I have to add running totals for each state for years 2012, 2013, 2014 and to next column I have to calculate change in percentage annually. Basically, below the summary table sums the totals for the same years.
Here how it look on excel
I am trying to do the same thing on Crystal reports. Here how it looks:
On the Crystal Reports I have to put that summary table for each state. on the beginning or on the end of the each state.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

hi Korhan,
you can do this by Inserting a Cross-tab on the Report Footer. have a look at the attachment...extract the contents and change the .txt extension to .rpt.
right click on the cross-tab and choose Cross-tab Expert. note that there are two Sums on the same field.
exit the cross-tab expert and right click on one of the summaries under YTY change and choose Format Field. under the Common tab look at the formula in the Display String dialogue. this is the formula that does all of the work. it uses the 2nd Sum value in the cross-tab expert and uses the Grid value functions that are available for the cross-tab. you can also go to the online help for crystal reports to learn more about these grid value functions.
you can go back to the cross-tab exerpt then the Customize Style tab to see all of the various formatting options that were used on the cross-tab.
cheers,
jamie

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.
Greetings
Marcelo.
ps: I am using Netweaver 2004s, EP 7 SP 11

Hello again:
searching at SAP Notes I found this:
Note 987865 - KMC NW04 SPS20 / KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SP12.
and it textually says that: "UI: Pager did not work inside the Tab Collection Renderer."
well, I do not know waht to do now........please help me!!

How to set it up to use BI Publisher Report layout in APEX

Hi all,
I downloaded the xml file from APEX to create a BI Publisher report layout and uploaded it to APEX report layout in share component. When I click the test report button, nothing showed. Would you show me what else I need to do to make it work?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks much@

You need to use the desktop layout editor that works under Word to develop report layouts..

Report layout in french not displaying french characters properly

Hello,
I have a report layout that I have created with a 3rd party tool (j4ldesigner). All it has on it is one label (displaying a couple of french characters as a test
). Within APEX I have created a test report layout and imported it as a named column report layout type. I then created a very simple report query and associated it with the test layout. When I run the test report, the layout launches but the characters éâ appear as Ã©Ã¢.
So I'm thinking this has to do with language somehow. I have other reports which are generic named column reports, but those are manually entered and seem to work fine. The named column layout is imported, and I'm assuming some sort of conversion is happening where those special french language characters are concerned.
The fact is this is a 11.2.0.3 database. I was assuming the language set would use the standard language librariy files which come with 11G (ie $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data) so I wouldn't have an issue. Since it is not working, do I need to use the language files associated with 9idata? Or is there an init.ora parameter I am missing?

Hello,
Within APEX I have created a test report layout and imported it as a named column report layout type.Make sure the Report Layout File is in UTF-8 encoding. Most of the times, the issue is with file encoding type.
If you use text editors like [url http://notepad-plus-plus.org]notepad++ you can see and convert from one encoding to other.

PDF Printing Issue - Customised Report Layout Error

Hi,
I am trying to get a PDF file output based on the customised RTF file created. I follow the following steps but I am facing an issue with that.
(i) Go to Shared Components > Report Queries.
(ii) Create a new Report query with more than one query.
(iii) Using the XML Data in the Report queries, create a Report Layout (RTF) file.
(iv) Navigate to shared components Report Layout and upload the RTF file.
(v) Once this is done, use the Report Layout created in the Report Queries. Select the Layout name from the Drop Down.
(vi) Click on TEST REPORT, this produces an error: Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> 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 )
Additional Info
The apex instance configured with Embbedded plsql, rdbms version is 11.1.0.7.0 and the BI publisher version 10.1.3.3.
ISSUE DESC
When I use mulitple Queries even after using Generic Report Layout I get the output for the first query alone in the PDF and the remaining Queries are ignored.
And when i use a user defined template, then even If i have a single report query I get the error.
To summarise, I am not able to use the customised Layouts.
I have reproduced the issue in apex.oracle.com
Please log in using,
WORKSPACE: demo_test
USER NAME: [email protected]
pwd: vidhya
After logging in please select the Application Builder.
In that select the Application named PDF.
Select the Shared components > Report Queries
Select the Report Query named test.
Click on the TEST REPORT button in the Source Queries Section.
You will get the error.
Now in the same page in the Report Query Attributes Section change the Report Layout to Use Generic Report Layout and then click on 'TEST REPORT', this will give the PDF file without errors.
The same report has been called from the PRINT REPORT button provided in the page 1 of the application.
This issue is really urgent and critical. Require your inputs/help.
Thanks,
Ramya

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> 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 switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?
