Report Layout Parameter

Hi All,
I have a requirement that when user submit the concurrent request, he presses the Options and then Select the FORMAT in the Layout section. There are different Format Type which user can Select like PDF, EXCEL etc.
I am passing different parameters for this request. My requirement is to add another parameter for Layout Format field. Now if user selects PDF then that parameter value should be automatically passed to Layout Format field. How it can be accomplished.
Thanks

Hi Mr. Vissu Pangam,

it will again ask for enter Product Code.

Thanks & Regards,

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

Hello,
I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report. The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters. I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry. When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt. Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
Many thanks,
Kate

So just to make it clear,
you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
If so, try this in crystal reports :
Create a parameter field (field explorer)
Name : CardName
Type : String
Value : Static
do not select a value field (none)
press ok.
Select expert
Create new
Starts with
type this : {?CardName}
press add
Click formula editor and make it look like this :
{OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
{OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

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.

Report layout with User default and gobal default

hi,
any authorization to control report layout, only some user ID can use "user default" layout, and part of user available to set the layout as default
thanks

Is is a custom-developed ALV report or an SAP-supplied one?
If if is custom-developed, you can register the following user-commands
&AVE - Save layout
&OL0 - Change layout
&OAD - Select layout
in parameter IT_EVENT_EXIT of REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. When these user-commands are triggered, control passes to the user command routine in your callback program. In the callback routine, you can implement authorization/security checks.
Also look at parameters IS_VARIANT and I_SAVE to control use of variants.,
If it is an SAP-supplied program, try using the auth-object mentioned in my earlier post.

Report Layout Editor

I have used this successfully in the past but have a new challenge.
In the past I have been able to produce clean and tidy reports for a single table. Now I want to do the same for a query joining two tables (order and transaction) on a single order id.
An order has several transactions. I don't want to repeat the static order details on every row, just the changing transaction details.
I have been able to list only the transaction details in the body section quite easily. I've also been able to list the labels for the order details in the head section. But when I try to list the field data using the .FIELD suffix instead of the .LABEL suffix it is not changed to data.
I take it that the head section is designed to deal only with .LABELS while the body section deals only with .FIELDS.
Can anyone suggest an alternative for doing this? Would a dynamic page be better? And if so how do I do it? Bear in mind that I need to pass a variable containing the order id from another report.

Sharmila-
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to reference a value from the report rather than the parameter itself. I'll try to explain. I have a report which displays information for an employee. For a custom report, in the report layout editor there are three different sections, headings, body and footer. In these sections you place the HTML to customize your layout. In the body you can reference placeholders like #EMPLOYEE_ID.LABEL# for the column heading or #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# for the value retrieved from the database. In the footer section of the report layout editor I want to create a link to another report using employee_id as the parameter in the link to the next report, however, within the link I am not able to get it to recognize the value from the placeholder. When I click on the link the URL shows the placeholder #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# rather than the value like 1001.
Any suggestions?

Date Parameters displaying a day prior on Report Layout

Hi,
I am currently creating some reports using Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.6.2.
The reports in question have a Start Date from Parameter and an End Date To Parameter.
I also display the values for the parameters in the Report Layout which appears to display the values entered correctly in the Interactive Viewer, but looking at other outputs (i.e. HTML, Excel, PDF etc.) the value in the parameter field in the layout always displays a day prior to what has been entered.
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks in advance.

This is an example of code:
<?xdofx:substr(season_start_date,6,2)?>
This would take the month out of the repository variable: season_start_date, in the format MM.
(MM is on the 6th position, with a length of 2.)

How to separate report layout sections in one report

All,
I'm trying to determine how to separate report layout sections in one report using Report Builder 10g. My requirement is to provide a user the ability to display a report in PDF, excel, RTF formats. How can I assign LayoutA to 'PDF' and 'RTF', LayoutB to 'Spreadsheet'?
I've attempted to utilize the Header and Main sections in the paper layout, which contain unique layouts of the same report, but during generation, both sections are being displayed.
Thanks

Hi there,
How are you running the report? If you are selecting different types of output before calling the report then you could pass a parameter that is checked at runtime in the report and suppresses the layouts you do not want using format triggers.

Oracle report-how to change report layout to landscape?

Hi,
I am using Oracle report 6i. I want to change the report layout to Landscape. I had tried to go to 'page setup' and changed to 'landscape', but when I print, I still got portait layout.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Jun

Hi,
Easiest method for changing your reports orientation to Landscape is
Go to object navigator->System parameters->Orientation.
Set value of this system parameter as Landscape. Thats all. You also can set this property using srw. features at runtime.

Difficult to achive the report layout with dynamic column names

I have a report layout as below.
So here the column names are dynamic.And each fixed row group has different calculations. I have a date parameter. If I select July 2013, then I need to show data from July 2012 to July 2013 with Columns(Jul-12, Aug-12...Jul-13). How to achive below layout
with dynamic columns?

Hi Sarayu_CM,
According to your description, you want to filter the records of prior year based on only one parameter selection. Right?
In this scenario, we can create two parameters. The first one is for user to select. The second parameter is based on the first parameter selection. We don't need to specify Available Values for the second parameter, but we should use expression to specify
Default Values based on the first parameter selection. Use the expression below:
=DateAdd("m",-12,FormatDateTime(Parameters!param1.Value))
Then we just need to apply a filter on the matrix/dataset to get the records which the date is between values in these two parameters.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Portal Report Layout Editor

I have created a report selecting the custom report layout option. Rather than using a link on the column, I would like to add different links in the footer section in the Report Layout Editor. My problem is trying to create a link and pass a value from the report to the next report. I have tried to use the placeholder #fieldname.field# in an attempt to pass the value in my call to the other report object but it is not working. My actual call is listed below:
Address
When I click on the link the other report returns "No row returned". If I substitue the placeholder with a value I know exists the link works correctly.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can embed the placeholder in the link command. Any help would be much appreciated.

Clob in Report layout - cannot wrap to next line

Dear all,
I am facing a problem that the field display on the report in Clob datatype cannot wrap to next line. In the data model, it is separately selected the clob text. In the report layout, for the field I have already set the Vertical Elasticity to "Variable" and Horizontal Elasticity to "Fixed". However, the report output always show the clob text in one line. Even I reduce the width of that field, the result is the clob text will display in one line up to the end of right margin but didn't wrap to next line.
I tried to store the clob text to the placeholder or create a user parameter to store the clob text and then display on the report. However, the result is still the same. I really don't know why....
Can anyone help? Thanks for advance.
Thank you.
Regards.

Many thanks! Worked perfectly!
I've just upgraded to DW CS3 from a much older version, and I'm rebuilding an old site that's completely frames-based, so using CSS to accomplish what I used to do in frames (and for older browsers) is a bit of a challenge. I appreciate the helpful tip!
Thanks again!

Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout

Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout.
In sales quote layout the rows are doubled. Even in the standard layout. If the quote contains only two rows. Then it is doubled as 4 rows in the crystal report layout.
It is happening in the particular database. Other database are working fine. I request you people to help me to overcome this issue.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

I also need the father's ids....why do I do to have the father's ids too?

A Inventories
chidren sets:
A1 Raw Materials
A2 Obsolete Materials
In the report I only see the A1 and A2 ids and its descriptions. I also see the Inventories word. But I dont see the A key next to the Inventories description....why?

Check whether the field in the internal table used for displaying ID is getting pouplated or not
