Report with a Download link for a Pdf stored in Blob in database FND tables

We attach a pdf file in the Receivables invoices in Oracle EBS. We use APEX to report from EBS tables. We have a requirement to have a APEX report to display the pdf attached to the invoices with a capability to download the pdf. These pdf are stored in a blob column in fnd_lobs table.
Any pointers on how to approach is highly appreciated.
Thanks

  • When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

    When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

    Hi hakmacpace,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a report on a table with BLOB data so that the report displays a "download" link for the BLOB data. I am trying to give users the ability to download files from a website.
    I have been following the instructions in OBE "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1".
    In the report, for the BLOB column, I have specified values for the following fields in Report Attributes->Column Formatting->Number/Date Format->BLOB Download Format Mask:
    BLOB Table
    BLOB Column
    Primary Key Column 1
    MIME Type Column
    Filename Column
    BLOB Last Updated Column
    However, when I run the report, I get the following error, even thought there is data loaded into the table:
    report error:
    ORA-01403: no data found
    When I remove the BLOB Download Format Mask information for the BLOB column, then the data displays in the report, but without the "download" link for the BLOB data (which is expected):
    E.g.
    Title Author Created BLOB_CONTENT
    Siebel & RAC Best Practices     Erik.Peterson     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
    Siebel Grid Case Studies     Mark.MacDonald     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
    Siebel CRM Applications protected by Oracle Clusterware     Kelly.Tan     17-SEP-08 [datatype]
    Oracle Grid: The Optimal Platform for Siebel Solutions Mark.MacDonald 17-SEP-08     [datatype]
    Any ideas why I'm seeing the ORA_01403 when I specify the BLOB Download Format Mask?

    Good morning,
    Here is how I have solved this problem.
    1. The select statement in the sql for the report should not include the BLOB column. I decided to select only 2 columns, the column that has the key and the column with the filename.
    2. On the first column ( the primary key ) I put in the format statement that was simply DOWNLOAD:TABLENAME:BLOB_COLUMN:PRIMARY_KEY
    This works. I believe that the Oracle error I was getting was because I was trying to apply this format statement to the actual BLOB column.
    So, it appears that you can use any of the columns in the report to hold the DOWNLOAD format statement since in the format statement, you are defining the BLOB table, BLOB column and the primary key into that column.
    Hope this helps,
    Don.

  • Problem with download link for a BLOB Column in a "Classic report"

    I am having a problem where I cannot make a download link for a blob column function in a "classic" (non-interactive) report. I went through the tutorial on this topic and it was great help it working out the minor bugs, but I get a 404 error (apex_util.get_BLOB not found). For testing purposes I went ahead and created a an identical report on the same page that is an "Interactive report" and it works like a charm. Same query, same BLOB formatting Mask, pulling data from the same table. So, it really doesn't seem like an issue with the grants, since both reports should be executing as the same user.
    I know it sounds like the obvious answer is to just go with the interactive report and my problem is solved, but the rest of this site uses classic reports, and I don't need the sort features of an interactive report, and the slightly different style of the the report really stands out even if I turn off all the bells and whistles. I don't want to change the css to make them look identical, I just want a regular report to work.

    I eventually found another post: APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB was not found on this server
    In this post there is the suggestion of putting "dbms_lob.getlength("var")" after the date field in your select. So I changed my query to have it at the end, and now my format mask (DOWNLOAD:table_name:ATTACHED_FILE:FILE_ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::attachment:Download) works like a charm, in a classic report.

    Hi. I pre ordered an album from iTunes using my iPhone 4S. Once released I received an email with a download link. I followed the link from the email which took me to iTunes Store. There I found the album & all tracks shown as purchased but with no apparent way of downloading. When I check for items to download, it isn't there. When I check purchased items purchased, it isn't there either. It only appears when I tap the album cover from the front page & then only as purchased.

    Hello 28mexiworth
    Check your Music app to see if it already downloaded. You can also check iTunes on your computer to Check for a available downloads. If you are still not able to get it, then report the issue to iTunes.

  • Download link for only some rows

    Hi,
    I have 2 tables. One contains records for products, and the other contains images for only some of the products. The images have been uploaded through the application and therefore are in a 'upload_data' table.
    The tables are linked by product_id.
    I would like to display a report that shows all the column from the products table and a download link for only those products that have an image.
    So far the query only returns those rows that have an image.
    Thanks

    Upon N8 Belle it only works in "Portrait mode" and you have to longpress upon Menu key to reveal open applications to close as "Exit" button doesn't work, which maybe sufficient reason to warrant not being made available to Symbian Belle devices!

  • Downloading link for adobe creative suite 5.5 design standard middle east please

    I have my serial for the ME CS 5.5 DS but I can't find the download link for this vision ..
    the installation in my CD didn't work it..
    I tried to download from the help page Download CS5.5 products
    but I couldn't find the Middle East version ..
    Can any one help me?

    Find your serial number quickly
    You use the word "redeem" which might mean you dealt with a redemption code for the first installation.  The redemption code is used to acquire a serial number.  From that point you use the serial number to activate all installations.

  • Download Link for Blackberry Messenger version 5.0.0.57?

    Blackberry Pearl 8120 
    The BBM icon has disappeared from my device.   BBM still shows up on the list of applications.  The ICON does NOT show up when all icons are shown, and is not hidden.  BBM is not running in the list of running applications.   Many support board posts indicate to download and re-install the application.   I have had problems with newer versions of BBM, and would like to re-install THIS version, because I know it works.  
    Where can I get the download link for version 5.0.0.57 of BBM?

    I don't know where you can get that 5.0.0.57 version.
    Are you SURE you've looked in ALL folders, Download, Applicatons, Instant Mesages, etc.?
    The only download link I know of (other than AppWorld) is www.blackberry.com/messenger
