Report layout supports each field listed vertically(1 field per row)

I'm basically new to APEX. I have a report that displays 1 record of data with each field(1 per row) listed vertically. When using the default APEX report layout template, the Print attributes(.pdf, xml, online, HTML, etc.), every format prints all fields in one row. Can someone please provide the proper report layout that I can use to get my desired printout?

This is the Oracle Reports forum. Post this in the Apex forum.

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

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!

Html report layout

Hi,
reports 10g - html output
Just wondering if there are any tricks to meet this requirement:
I have a report layout where each section of the report needs a header which is white text color on a grey background
I've tried with a rectangle with fill color in the greytone I want - but the color is not seen/white in the output.
How do I control the rectanglefill color for html output ?
Thanks
Pete

ok htmlcss was fine when its a text only report
I've got other reports that has text and images and changing from html to htmlcss gives an ugly layout where text and images suddenly overlap.
Any suggestions for those reports
TIA

Creating support message field reported by doesn't fill

Hi colleagues,
When I create a support message field reported by doesn't fill automatically.
I think that I've completed all required steps in order these fields were filled automatically. Fields sold-to party and support team are filled automatically, they work ok.
The steps that I've checked:
- The support message is created successfully from satellite message(SID=DES_01). The user which creates this message is zprueba5 exists with profiles: SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW at the satellite system.
-In the solution manager system(SID=SMG), transaction ib52 for the satellite system is filled with partners: employee responsible, sold-to party and system administrator.
- In the solution manager system(SID=SMG), zprueba5 exists with profiles: SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW.
- Transaction bp, zprueba5 user contains BP roles: Business Partner, Employee, Bill-To Party, Financial Services and at the tab "Identification":
External BP Number: SMG 010 ZPRUEBA5
ID Type     Description                         Identification number
CRM001    External System Identifier   DES_01 0020281686 100 ZPRUEBA5
CRM001    External System Identifier   SMG 0020276689 010 ZPRUEBA5
So, In the solution manager system(SID=SMG), crm_dno_monitor transaction when I open the support message just created from satellite system, I have an error because reported by field isn't filled.
Please could you help me?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Nikhil,
At this message I'm going to reply your last two replies.
1.- You typed me "In ib52 select both the system simultaneously and then go to->parner and assign proper bp no for the respective partner function. You need to do it for every system may be users are same.
I hope you have maintained proper access sequence i.e. via ibase."
For each SAP System that I've defined at SAP Solution Manager, at ib52 transaction I've defined the three roles that IMG activity documentation types:
        Assign business partners with the following functions to the new iBase component systems:
            Administrator
            Key User
            Sold-to Party
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide->SAP Solution Manager(SP 17)->Configuration->Basic Settings->Standard Configuration of Basic Settings->Solution Manager->iBase->Assign Business Partners to iBase Components ->transaction Change iBase (IB52), enter in field Installed Base '1' and I select the SAP System->Goto -> Partner
      Function                                        Partner
    00000014 Employee Responsible     298
    00000001 Sold-To Party                  295
    SLFN0001 System Administrator      295
2.- You typed me "Select you partner determination procedure and double click on "User interface setting" here select appropriate partner functions and assign all of them in ibase as I said in above reply.
You must not be getting reported by partner function. Take out System administrator. Motivate by assigning points."
My Partner Determ. Proc. is SLFN0001, so I double click on User interface setting like you explained me, adn now appears:
Header Screen:
Sequence and Functions for (main) Partner Displayed
Partner Function1 00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
Partner Function2 SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
Partner Function3 SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
Partner Function4 SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
But now I don't understand if at ib52 transaction I've to add any role or if from "User interface setting" I've to delete any Partner Function. Could you detail me when you type "You must not be getting reported by partner function. Take out System administrator", please?

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

Hi,
I have question about the COPA report layout with object list (ALV). Everytime I executed the report with ALV format, the amount for quantity column always shows with 3 decimal number, menwhile for amount column always follow by 2 decimal number.
Can anyone help me regarding this matter? I do not know how to turn off the decimal number to be 0 in this type of layout, although in the form itself I already put 0 decimal number.
Thanks.

How do I modify a report to show new fields in a stored procedure?

The server uses Crystal Reports Embedded Server 2008 SP3 (running on Windows Server 2008 R2 / IIS 7.5), and I am using Crystal Reports Developer 2008 SP3 on my PC.
Hello,
I am a MSSQL database administrator with little experience with Crystal Reports. At my job, we have a need to add a couple of fields to a report. The report comes with an enterprise procurement web-based application and displays the details of a given purchase order. They want me to add the supplieru2019s address below the supplieru2019s name on the report. I was hoping there might be a fairly straight-forward, not overly complicated answer to my question.
The report works with a stored procedure (OrderForm1) which creates a temp table called #ReportParameters. It then executes another stored procedure (GetReportParameters), in which it uses 'sp_xml_preparedocument' and eventually 'sp_xml_removedocument'. It then executes a stored procedure called (OrderForm1Main) which contains the select statement that brings in the bulk of the fields and joining the pertinent tables. I made a backup copy of OrderForm1Main and modified the original, to include the supplier address fields.
Don't know if I'm on the right track, but hereu2019s what I tried so far:
When I open the OrderForm1.rpt in Crystal Designer, I have found that I can go to Database > Set Datasource Location, create a connection (OLE DB (ADO)) to the database, highlight the name of the stored procedure under u2018Current Data Sourceu2019, then find the same stored procedure in the database in the section u2018Replace withu2019:
http://i.imgur.com/KXBuf.png
When I clicked the u2018Updateu2019 button, a u2018Enter Valuesu2019 for parameters window pops up:
http://i.imgur.com/5uQ9V.png
Iu2019m confused as to what to do at this part. Whether I click u2018OKu2019 or u2018Cancelu2019, it then adds my database connection with stored procedure to the list in the u2018Current Data Sourceu2019 section:
http://i.imgur.com/aD4KH.png
After completing this data source change, in the Field Explorer under Database Fields > OrderForm1, it then includes the new fields I added to the stored procedure. However, when dragging the new supplier address fields to the report layout, saving the report in this state, and trying to run it in the web application, the report window displays the message u2018Missing parameter valuesu2019 instead of the report:
http://i.imgur.com/gz8S3.png
In Field Explorer > Database Fields > Parameters, Iu2019m seeing a list of parameters that arenu2019t the exact ones in the stored procedure, which leads me to believe, they are somehow defined in the report itself. Also, under u2018Parameter Fieldsu2019 in the Fields Explorer there is the @fParameters listing with a question mark icon, that appeared since the data source change:
http://i.imgur.com/llkrk.png
There does not seem to be an equivalent set of parameters in the database, as there were defined in the report. I imagine that the actual parameter values come from the data held in the currently displayed purchase order (from which you can push a button 'Print PO' that will display the report in question). I have read that when you change a data source in Crystal, you have to complete the task of resetting, or adding back in the parameters. That would be easy if they were in the database somewhere. Whenever I attempt to look at the properties of the u2018ReportInformationu2019 in u2018Set Datasource Locationu2019, or simply try Database > 'Verify Database' to refresh the datasource, an u2018ADO.NET (XML) windows pops up with a file path in it, something to the effect of:
MyLoanerLaptop\ebo bk\orderform1.xml:
http://i.imgur.com/SEVOE.png
I did a search on the entire server for the file OrderForm1.XML and could not find it anywhere. So Iu2019m thinking that the software companyu2019s development team used that file originally, to create the report (did they use a dataset to do this, or is the temporary XML file created during the process actually the schema here?). I think Iu2019m basically trying to change the data source in the report, to an updated version of the original stored procedure referenced, while still somehow leaving the parameters list in the report alone and have them still work?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I realize that this type of work most likely is routine stuff that can be learned by taking the time to do so. My team is only interested in allowing me a certain amount of time and resources to delve into Crystal and we do not have a Crystal dev team. So, hopefully you understand my dilemma here.
Thank you,
Mike

Hi Mike,
CRSE is an OEM Product and for use with a custom application they have written. Unfortunately we don't their reports or how they are connecting, it would appear they were originally built off a SQL and then set to a Dataset in the app or they could be adding the data source at runtime. Lots of variations and without access to the source code to see what they are doing not much we can help you with.
You need to contact the OEM Partner for help in resolving this and find out what you can and need to do to update your SP and work with their canned reports,
Thank you

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

Report layout question for 6i

I'm using reports 6i and have what I think is a simple report requirement but I'm unable to set the properties to get it to report correctly...
I have a report where I would like to print one record per page (essentially a form letter). The page is driven by one large table that is filled prior to the report being executed and has a large number of columns.
There are essentially two sections - the top is a header with a lot of detailed information, and the bottom is three large "text boxes". These boxes can have up to 2000 characters each. What I would like to do is have the boxes print AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, without causing output to be pushed to another page.
I don't want FIXED because in some cases, two of the areas may be small, but the last area (text box) large, and then it won't print.
I tried CONTRACT, but then the text boxes appeared to grow no bigger than the box on the screen, but would be rendered in as many pages as required to print the report. Also, with CONTRACT, it appeared that if the text required less space than the box for the field, that the next two items would not be "moved up" unless I placed an anchor between them. I thought implicit anchors would move them up if I checked "keep with anchoring object".
I tried expand and variable and had the same problem with multiple pages.
What is the solution for this?
For a test case, I modified DEPT and increased with LOC and DNAME columns to varchar2(4000), and put 2943 and 3839 characters in each respectively. When I tried each of the above options in a simple "form-like" report, it behaved similarly.
I've also tried drawing a frame around all three boxes and making its vertical elasticity FIXED and setting PAGE PROTECT, but that did not prevent it from rendering on other pages.
If you need any additional information, I'm eager to provide it. This is driving me nuts!!

Hi,
So you want to print as much as possible on a page, and do not want it to overflow to other pages.
Well, I'm not sure if a solution other than FIXED or CONTRACT elasticity is possible.
If you create a frame round all boxes, and make it fixed width, a new instance of the frame will start on the next page.
If you set elasticity variable / expand, this will not prevent the boxes to overflow to following pages.
You should be able to achieve what you need by setting elasticity to FIXED / CONTRACT. In case you choose contract, you need to use anchors. By the way, elasticity contract should not allow the text to overflow to subsequent pages, but make sure you have set the elasticity on the text box, and not on the frame.

Report print attributes - custom report layout

Hi there,
I've looked for this information in the web and in this forum without luck so far...
We have here BI Publisher and I use the "Enable Report Printing" option in a traditional report in Apex 4.0.2. That works great.
But instead of using the "Default Report Layout", I want to use a custom one based on a RTF file. However I have no idea what the data XML looks like in order to build a custom layout.
To be clear: if you go to Shared Components > Report Queries, you have a Download XML Data option so you can build your report layout based on the XML structure. For instance, you can use <?for-each:ROWSET1_ROW?>, <?COLUMN_NAME?> etc
Any ideas about what that XML structure is for a traditional report?
Thanks
Luis

Found it: change temporarily the output format to XML and download the report. The XML structure is all there. Very helpful to know that all page items are included in the XML as well. It would be good to have this functionality detailed somewhere in the Apex documentation.
What I still need to know is how to access the substitution strings below in my RTF (NOT XSL-FO) template:
Select Default Report Layout to use the built-in generic report layout.
To use a custom generic report layout, select it from the list.
You can use the following substitution strings when building custom XSL-FO report layouts:
#PAGE_HEADER#
#PAGE_HEADERFONT_COLOR#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
...Any ideas?

Report layout supports each field listed vertically(1 field per row)
