Reports, Queries and Graphs

When you run a Report or Query in CS-MARS is there a way to disply the results as line graphs and pie charts? I need to mainly display the data as a line graph. Can this even be done?

Mars will create all three, if applicable.
Under the Summary page, go to Network Status, then select View Report on one of the four reports on the bottom.
You should be able to view how those reports are configured, then create your own.

Report Queries and Report Layout

Hello,
I currently have several report queries with existing report layouts done in xsl.fo. I will be upgrading to Apex 4.0 in the next couple of months and I wanted to make sure that my reports will still work. I have an account on the Oracle hosted site and created a report query with an xsl.fo file.
I understand that it requires the fop.war file to run on the server for it to work, but I have used the oracle hosted site before and was able to create report queries and custom report layouts.
I am using an xsl fo editor called javaforless, which creates the .fo file and then I make adjustments to the file, before I create the report query and then load the file when I am creating the query.
The report works correctly if I use the generic layout, but I have many reports with custom layouts that will be going to Apex 4.0 and I want to ensure that they will still work. Please look at the error below and give me some insight to why this is happening:
Error opening document. This file cannot be opened because it has no page.Thanks,
Mary

Is there a bug on the Oracle hosted site for reports.
I was able to run a report query with a cutsom report file (xsl.fo) on the hosted site. The file didn't throw any errors, though I don't understand why it doesn't. I had to create a blank field to have a border, which creates my lines in apex. code below:
<fo:table-cell   number-columns-spanned="1">
      <fo:block   border-color="#404040" border-style="solid" border-width="medium"   margin-left="0.0cm" margin-right="0.0cm" margin-top="0.0cm" font-size="10pt" font-family="SansSerif" color="#000000" text-align="left"></fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>My original code uses the fo:leader, which works fine in Apex 3.2 but will throw errors if I use it in 4.0.2 and not open the file.
<fo:table-row background-color="#ffffff" height="0.89cm">
        <fo:table-cell   number-columns-spanned="2">
      <fo:block margin-left="0.0cm" margin-right="0.0cm" margin-top="0.27cm" ><fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" color="#000000" rule-thickness="2.0pt" rule-style="solid" leader-length="100%"/></fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>
    </fo:table-row>Can someone please let me know why the fo:leader syntax is erroring on the Hosted Site.
Thanks,
Mary

Report Queries and collections

Hello!
I want to intergrate a collection query into the report query for pdf-printing.
(Home>Application Builder>Application 111>Shared Components>Report Queries>Edit Report Query)
I trigger the report generation by a submit button. Wheras the collection content is visable in any page it is not within the report query.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks
Dietmar

Hi John!
Thank you for your reply!
The query looks like:
select ordername, ...., ...
from v_odetails
where O_ID in (select c001 from apex_collections where collection_name = 'PRINTLIST')
The collection is filled with ids of orders the user has selected.
It seemed that session information is not available.
But, surprise, now, after a few logins it works perfectly.
Thank you!
Dietmar

Report queries and bind variables - only header printing to PDF

Hi,
I created a simple report query for printing to PDF with 2 bind variables. I created a link to this report like this
Print - the header information prints but none of the data.
What am i doing wrong? I'm pretty sure it has s/t to do with the bind variables.
IF a/o can please help, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Hindy

is it possible to export your application page to apex server and you shall also create a userid as demo/demo and post the url so that we shall try the debug

Problems with Print Report Queries and € sign

Hi,
In one of my database fields I've prices with currency (euro sign, dollar, etc.) saved as varchar2.
In PDF report I need to make some calculations with this value, so I thought of dividing it into 2 parts, value and currency.
As SQL statement I've the following:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(REPLACE(PRICE, '€', ''), '[^[:digit:]|.|,]*', '') PRICE,
TRIM(SUBSTR(PRICE, LENGTH(REGEXP_REPLACE(REPLACE(PRICE, '€', ''), '[^[:digit:]|.|,]*', ''))+1)) CURRENCY
FROM MY_TABLEIn SQL Workshop it's working fine, but when I put this query as the Printing Report Query, the value & # 8 3 6 4 ; is translated first into € and then in rotated question mark, which means the query is no more working.
Any other ideas how to solve the problem?
Thanks
chrissy

willspring,
Just to make sure: As I understand it, things worked in CS4, not only in earlier versions.
To reset settings in Illy, you may Move the folder, but it may not solve the issue (the simpler but less thorough resetting being to Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup).
Have you made any changes, such as printer driver or whatever, between success and failure?

Report Queries / XML Size over 30k...

Hi everybody,
I'm generating a report querie, with WORKSPACE IMAGES and it works fine until a certain limit.
I have my query that returns a certain image , for a especified day of the month. If it's a Employee Holiday, png image(an image with 1). If it's a Weekend another png image(orange image).
It works fine in the report:
[http://img141.imageshack.us/i/yearcalendar.jpg/]
When i tried to make this report to pdf, using Report Queries and a RTF made up template, i want to use the Data Source for Report Layout:
XML Data(Download), to test my RTF(logical :P ) , but when that XML download overcomes 30.4k, it gives me an error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long
Notes: I'm using the [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/apexprnt/apexprnt2_otn.htm] . The function that receives a BLOB and turns to CLOB for displaying the image.
Can i configure that 30k XML somewhere? Or i'm just crazy for doing this? :)

Vitor,
Report rows in APEX are processed in a varchar2 array. A varchar2 can hold up to 32k bytes. This applies to report queries as well. What that means is that when using the query from the OBE you referenced:
select
employee_id,
first_name||' '||last_name name,
filename,
mimetype,
blob2clobase64(photo) photo
from oehr_employees
where photo is not null
... then all column values for one row, plus the additional XML markup for each value, can't be longer than 32k bytes. When working with images, you quickly hit that limit, because what blob2clobase64 does is, that it converts your image into a pretty long string. For APEX 4.0 we're looking into ways to lift this limitation. But for now - when using report queries - you're limited to 32k per row. Please note, that's per row, your actual report can be longer, so you can have many rows, as long as none of them exceed 32k. There are however APIs available in APEX (apex_util.get_print_document) that allow you to directly call the print engine, supplying your own XML data and stylesheets. The XML data is stored in a BLOB, and it's up to you how you generate that XML data. So you won't be subject to this limitation.
Regards,
Marc

Report Queries

Has anybody successfully created a complex (master/detail) type of report using Report Queries/ Report Layouts? Since you can't control the XML and Report Queries (with multiple queries) are independent of each other, I can't see how this would work with BI Plug-in.

Perhaps my most recent BLOG entry might help you getting started with Report Queries:

Let me know if you have any questions. I plan on publishing more samples soon,

SSRS Report queries begin running slowly, have to stop and start report server to restore performance

We have had a production issue crop up twice now where reports begin running slowly seemingly at random.
When this happens we can see from running SQL Profiler that the report queries are taking an extremely long time to execute. The same queries when run directly in management studio run quickly.
Initially I suspected parameter sniffing, and tried using OPTION (RECOMPILE) in the reports, as well as clearing out the particular query from the plan cache and running the SQL in SSMS to try and get a better plan etc but no amount of jiggery pokery by
me could get the queries to run any faster.
The really weird thing - is that stopping and starting the report server via the reporting services configuration manager instantly cures the problem.
I'd really love to know - why this might be? Is it something to do with the report server closing and re-opening its connections to the database? That's the only sort of thing I can think of...any ideas? Anyone? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
LucasF

Hi LucasF,
In your scenario, usually we can monitor the execution log in Report Database. If you run below query, you can get the results how long the report takes to render (TimeRendering), how long to process the report(TimeProcessing) and how long to retrieve data
from Database(TimeData). You can check the starttime and endtime to know the total time for executing a report.
SELECT TOP1000 *FROM[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2]
More details information, please reference to similar thread below:
Steps for troubleshooting a slow SSRS 2014 server
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
In SQL Server Reporting Services, a job will be created by SQL Server Agent if any of the following processes is underway:
query execution on a remote or local database server
report processing
report rendering
To cancel a job that is running on the report server, we can cancel the job directly or reduce the report execution time-out value in the SQL Server Management Studio and then will stop query execution. Please refer to the steps below:
Open SQL Server Management Studio, and connect to "Reporting Services".
Under the Report Server node, right-click on the "Jobs" folder and select "Refresh". Then, right-click on "Jobs" again and click "Cancel All Jobs".
Right-click on the Report Server node and open the "Server Properties" dialog.
Click the "Execution" option, and set the "Limit report execution to the following number of seconds:" to a much smaller number. After this issue is resolved, this configuration should revert to the previous state.
Reference:
Managing a Running Process
Setting Time-out Values for Report and Shared Dataset Processing
In addition, we can also use the KILL Transact-SQL statement to terminate a normal connection by terminating the transactions that are associated with the specified session ID. For the details information, you can refer to:
KILL (Transact-SQL)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to maintain gap between table and graph in a report

HI,
I have a report in which a graph is placed below a table and data in the table gets increased with time , then how to maintain the gap as constant between table and the graph ?? Like i have 50 rows in a table and then next day 10 rows are added but then i want maintain same gap between the table and graph???

>Right click on chart.
>Open the property and go to the relative position.
>Select the distance of the upper left point of the chart in relation to another report element by entering - the number of pixels; the part of the tavfrom which youble want to measure the pixels (in the first drop-down list); the report element from which you want to measure the pixels (in the second drop-down list).
>Repeat this for the distance of the lower left point of the chart.
Hope this will help you out.

Automatic Fill colors for Report Builder pie charts and graphs are too repetitive and hard to differentiate

I have pie charts or other graphs that show multiple results (7-20). I set the "fill" colors to Automatic so that the results are dynamic (I don't want to specify a color for each result because I will then be limited that those results--I
prefer it to be dynamic).
I noticed that once you get above 4 or 5 results, no matter which palette is used, the "automatic" colors are so closely similar that it is hard to differentiate which color pertains to which result (group). For example, you could have a
reports that breaks the results into age groups like 1-18, 19-21, 22-25, 26-30, 31-41, 41-50, 51-65, 66-80, and 81+. By the time you review the results, there's likely to be 3 pairs of colors (or more) that are so closely similar that you can't
tell them apart (2 shades of yellow, 3 shades of blue, 2 shades of orange, or green, or teal, or purple or whatever).
Is there a way to use Automatic for the color scheme (I don't care which color pertains to which category) but also specify to not use colors that seem to bleed together (so that someone viewing the report can actually tell the difference)? Using SSRS
2008 Report Builder, if it makes a difference.

Hi JNehman,
Reporting Services provides a list of predefined, built-in palettes that you can use to define a color set for series on your chart. All built-in palettes contain between 10 and 16 color values. You cannot extend the built-in palette to include more colors,
so if you need more than 16 colors, you must define a custom palette.
A custom palette let you add your own colors in the order you want them to appear on the chart. A custom palette is especially helpful if the number of series in your chart is unknown at design time. For more information, see
Define Colors on a Chart Using a Palette (Report Builder and SSRS).

Copy queries and reports from production to qa

Hi,
One of our customers has up to now created their BEx queries and reports directly in production
But from now on they are going to create them in dev and then transport to qa and prod.
Is there any way to transport the already existing queries/reports from prod to qa?
BR,
Linda

Hello,
You have to set up the transport ( Your BASIS can prepare transport landscape ) to bring the query transported from Prod to test environment
But you can copy Workbooks from Production to develpment.Open the workbook from Production ,disconnect from server,then save as new workbook or existing workbook..now log into Dev system and save workbook under required role.

Reporting tools and SAP BW

Dear Sirs,
We have Business Objects BI 4.0 and SAP BW 7.3.
Actually we are using Web Intelligence and BEx Query to reporting.
We have not Business Layer (Universe) between BW and BO because BO it's not supported to create universe (unx) on BW. So we create document in WEBI using BEx Query.
We want to use Xcelsius (Dashboard Design) 2011 and I was thinking that we can use query from universe to connect with BW (new functionality in version 2011). Can we? Or maybe we should to connect to BW using "Connecttion to SAP BW"?
We want to use Explorer (on iPad and iPhone), but Explorer requires universe (unx).
Is not possible to create universe (unx, because unv is not supported via Explorer) based on SAP BW, is it true?
We should we do, when we want to use Explorer with SAP BW?
Do I understand connection between reporting tools and SAP BW:
Crystal Reports - can I use cubes or BEx queries
Xcelsius - using "Connection to SAP BW"
WEBI - BExqueries or universe (but only UNV - old version).
Explorer - in my opinion is not possible
Analysis for OLAP - drirect to cube in SAP BW
Could you please comment.

Hi
With the current version of the BI 4.0 SP2 BI Platform, one cannot create a universe (.UNX format) against BW using the OLAP connection. However you can create a universe (.UNX format) using the Relational connection (see OSS note: 1656905 - How to create UNX universe based on Business Warehourse InfoCubes). One limitation is the use of hierarchies with the relational connection.
Then you can create the Information spaces based on the universe (.UNX format) that the Explorer can use.
BO Reporting tools:
1. Crystal Reports for Enterprise = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) directly against the BW InfoCubes or Queries, if queries already exist in the BW system then you can leverage these directly (less time spent recreating the entire query in Crystal)
2. Xcelsius = you can use the BICS or Web Service or Universe to access the data
3. Web Intelligence = you can use the OLAP Connection (BICS)
4. Explorer = you can use a universe (.UNX format) via a Relational Connection
5. Analysis for OLAP = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) to either a query or InfoCube.
It is hoped that in Feature Pack 3 which will be released later this year, that missing functionalities will be delivered for BI 4.0.

Derek

I expect an attachment box with an RTF file to download. When i use the test functionality within shared components>report queries an RTF is generated. Why when i use the link is the RTF not been rendered. I'm using the latest version of apex with an 11g database. I have had trouble with the access control list before; could this be a problem?
Any help will appreciated
Thanks
Kevin

It looks like the issue is within the application and not the configuration as the sample application within the same workspace is okay. Does anyone know why i would encounter an error like this. Have i deleted something accidentally or altered a setting?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
