Report template enhancement? no data found message

I have a layout in which I want to show the excel export link in the same html table as a logo, so that code needs to be placed in the report template, but when no data is found I still want to show the logo and so all my reports have the same html code in the "no data found" field. Whenever I want to change this I have to change my template as well as all of my reports.
Wouldn't it be a nice idea to provide for a "no data found" message in the report template instead of the report itself? I can imagine you would want to show the same "no data found" message anyway for all reports so the template would be a logical place to put this.

There are known issues with Interactive Reports referencing :REQUEST value, probably due to some inner logic that also handles it simultaneously - potentially causing malfunction or deadlocks.
One workaround I've learned is to create a computation to assign :REQUEST to a temporary item (a PXX_REQUEST, for instance) and reference it in the query, instead of :REQUEST. This has worked fine for me in my experience.
Let me know if that helps - pls sign the thread as 'Useful' or 'Correct' if so, hence more people can benefit.

Sorting Interactive Report results in no data found message

Hi,
I've got an interactive report which returns results based on the :REQUEST bind variable - I've got a navigation list at the side where all the items link to the current page with different Request values. The IR works fine until I try to sort any of the columns by clicking the header and choosing ascending / descending, at which point it returns no data found.
It starts working again if I change the last line to OR :REQUEST IS NOT NULL but this breaks the functionality of the report, I want to return only the selected statuses, or all if no request variable is present. I'm guessing that sorting sets :REQUEST to something temporarily and breaks it. My query is below, any ideas?
SELECT   id,
         job_number,
         appt_start,
         domain,
         pwa,
         status,
         tstamp_created
FROM   fail_jobs
WHERE (status = 'NEW' AND userid_created != 'SYSTEM' AND :REQUEST = 'ARD')
     OR (status = 'ATR' AND :REQUEST = 'ATR')
     OR (status IN ('ERR','REV') AND :REQUEST = 'REV')
     OR (status = 'COM' AND :REQUEST = 'COM')
     OR (status IN ('PCD','PCA') AND :REQUEST = 'PCD')
     OR :REQUEST IS NULLThanks

"no data found" message wrapping in interactive report

I've looked around and can't figure out what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have an interactive report which, when no data is found, displays the "no data found" message wrapping very tight. I have uploaded a screenshot of it to TinyPic for you to see what I see.
The HTML generated around the "no data found" text is the following.
>
<DIV id="apexir_DATA_PANEL">
<TABLE summary="">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD>
<TABLE id="12352007490697832" class="apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA" border="0" cellSpacing="0" summary="" cellPadding="0">
<SPAN class="fielddata">
No submissions were found in the system.
</SPAN>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
>
I've looked through the HTML code that is generated for that page, but can't figure out why the words are wrapping. Any thoughts?
Shane.

Well, my problem is back again. It is only doing this in IE 8, not FF. When I run IE 8 in "IE 7" mode, the error message shows up fine, all on one line. I actually have two span tags now so I can have some spacing around the "no data found" message. I cannot get the "span" tags to show up in the HTML code. The software for this discussion forum seems to be filtering it out or the web browser is interpreting it when it should not. I will replace the SPAN tags with square brackets so you can see them. I also had to change "style" to "st_yle" so the software did not filter it out. It sure looks like a jumbled mess now.

Since I am using an interactive report, I do not believe I have any report template I can alter to adjust how the report and/or "no data found" message are being drawn up. I do have the region of the interactive report set to "Reports Region 100% Width", but the HTML in question is not being generated by that template.
I wonder if the problem is specific to how IE 8 might be interpreting the inside TABLE tags when it does not have any TR or TD tags within it. Any further thoughts on the matter?

Listview Report: how to hide "no data found" message

Good evening everybody,
I use the "jquery mobile theme 50" and the "listview report" of it. The report always shows "no data found"-entry if the source query doesn't return any row.
Is there a way to suppress this entry in Apex? I can hide "no data found"-entry in html using CSS, but I don't want to have it in the html at all.
Has someone an idea?
Thanks a lot!
Jewgenij

Thank you very much for the answer!
Unfortunately it works only for desktop themes but doesn't for jquery mobile Theme 50 :-)
The help text for the listview's (jquery mobile Theme 50) property "No Data Found Message" is
Defines the text message that displays when the query does not return any rows. If no value is specified the text of the system message APEX.REGION.NO_DATA_FOUND_MESSAGE is used.

Help need in Stacked bar vertical - No data found message

I am using Stacked bar vertical with the 3 series. The problem is if any one of the series returns zero rows for the query it displays the No data found message for all the series and blank graph is there on screen with just x and y axi with the name.
The result i want is if any series in the graph returns zero row for the query it should executed the other series and show the graph accordingly for the series fetch the data.
all these queries are returning the data when run on database instead of one.
Can anyone help me for this?

Hello Sunil,
you may find some info here:
Document on Multiple Series SVG Line Chart
Generally speaking, if you want your queries to return "dense" data, you must ensure that a zero (Y value) is returned against each X value. If your queries return no rows, it means you must "artificially" create values, probably rewriting the queries with an outer join to a table returning the desired X values and using NVL function to replace null (Y) values with zeros.
Also, be careful with the order of X values, it really matters, otherwise you'll get skewed charts!
Bye,

Which is the message name of "No Data found" message in Pagination IR ?

Hello,
in IR, in Pagination there exist 2 messages:
1. When more than maximum row data found message : APEXIR_MAX_ROW_COUNT and
2. When No Data Found Message: ???
Which is the name of the 2nd Symbolic Message ? I need it to set its translation globally. I checked User's guide but it was not included there.
After replacing APEXIR_MAX_ROW_COUNT with custom text i see that even this is not working also! Are there Text Messages defined for these two messages in Pagination in IR or not ?
TIA
Edited by: Dionyssis on 23 Οκτ 2009 2:41 πμ

Yes, i just tried it also. It does not work. The only action that works is by entering text in IR's Pagination text areas. This works, but i would like it to set global message for whole application, not to do it in every IR page of application.

Hello,
Well, you can create a javascript... When the string appears, delete and insert another one.
Maybe there are other ways, like this one:

ApEx 4: after upgrade, "when no data found" message on report not shown

I have a page that displays a tabular form. Initially, the table is empty, and so I have text in the "when no data found" block of the report attributes.
After upgrading to ApEx 4, this text is no longer shown when no results are returned. It displays the table header, but no rows. So for some reason, it thinks data is being returned -- even though the table is completely empty. I've tried several permutations, but have not been able to find a workaround.
I'll try to set up a standalone page, but I can provide a pointer to the existing page on apex.oraclecorp.com on request.
UPDATE: I think this may be related to the bug I reported on tabular forms.
Is it possible that the empty, hidden row we are adding now counts as a returned row, even though the SELECT statement returned nothing? And thus the report never thinks that there is no data found? This would also explain why it's displaying the table headers, even though no rows are visible.
Edited by: kswartz on Jul 8, 2010 12:18 AM

Interesting. I didn't see anything about this change in behavior in the Release Notes. Did I miss something? It definitely didn't do this in 3.2.
Overall, I think that's actually a very non-obvious change. Seeing a set of table headers with nothing below it looks to me like a mistake. Why would you ever show headers for something when you have no rows? In fact, I thought that was a bug the minute I saw it. With due respect, I don't think the new design is less desirable from a usability perspective than the old one.
It also doesn't work as you described regarding the proportions: in my case, the columns in the header row did not match the sizes of the columns as I defined them. Although I didn't place anything beside the tabular form, if I had, it would still alter the layout when "Add Rows" is clicked. If you know what the size of those columns is supposed to be (because they are text fields of size xyz, for instance), why wouldn't you define the header cells to use that information? You won't get it exact most of the time, but you can get close, if they're all text fields of specific width.
Plus, there's nothing on the Report Attributes tab that indicates the "When No Data Found" option won't apply if you are using a tabular form. The textareas should be disabled -- and at the very least, the on-line help should be mentioning this. It doesn't mention anything about this only applying to standard reports.
Finally, I think you should also put this in the Release Notes, because this requires changes to any application where someone with a tabular form required this. In one case, that was where I provided instructions to users entering data for the first time. Now I have to move it. (Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to know that in advance.) On another page, I put a JavaScript block in there to submit and automatically add a row, because I wanted there to always be a blank row if nothing had been entered -- and that was the easiest way. Okay, granted, that's probably not something you intended to support, but there was nothing wrong with it, technically. And, again, it's fixed by moving that block to the header instead and testing for the number of rows in the table -- easy, now that you provide JQuery for us -- but still manual migration work.
Thanks for the explanation.

Web template - No precalculated data found

I'm trying to precalculate the data in a web template using reporting agent. It is a template with only one data provider that does not require a control query... the input variable screen values can be stored in a variant so it is pretty straightforward. In the setting I asked it to precalculate the data.
The precalculation job runs successfully, but when changing my URL to DATA_MODE=STORED I continue to get the message "No precalculated data found".
Are there any tips you would suggest of things to check? How can one tell if it is working or troubleshoot this?
I checked OSS notes and found some interesting notes but they were for older support pack levels than us. We are on BW 3.5 SP 10.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello Guys,
I have same problem and i am with BW 3.0b service pack 26.
So Can any one give me the exact sytax of the URL to call the precalcuated webtemplate which was scheduled using Reporting agent with variant .
Because i am getting error " No precalculated data found for data provider <dataprovider name>" when i am trying to call using below URL
http://<BWapplication server url>/sap/bw/BEx?cmd=LDOC&template_id=<template technical name>&variant=z_usoo&DATA_MODE=stored
Z_US00 is the name technical name of the variant i used in the reporting agent.
Please let me know if i am missing some thing

Report Query returning "No Data Found" with bind variables

I put a simple query into Report Query:
Select "bluefish". "name" as "name",
"bluefish"."primary_flag" as "primary_flag",
"bluefish"."status" as "status",
"bluefish"."ID" as "ID" from "bluefish" "bluefish" where "bluefish"."ID" = :P3_XPRINTID
When I test the query, data is returned; however, when I try to run the query using "Test Report" button, I get an error 01403 No Data Found. If I replace the bind variable with an explicit value, the report works.
Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this problem? I am using the Generic Report Layout, with various output types. I AM editting the query and defining the bind variable before I test the report (otherwise, the query wouldn't run).
Charles

Sometimes if you create a form/report/whatever using the wizards, it will create an After Submit process called something like Reset Page - basically you want to make sure you don't have any After Submit processes that call a Clear Session state (it may say something like Clear Cache for Page).
In your branch, there is also a box that says Clear Cache - you want to make sure that does not have page Number 8 in it or it will clear your session state.
Put the page in Debug mode and read through it - check to make sure your value is getting saved and maybe you can see what is going wrong.
