Reports question from Mary

I think the Crystal Report that came with v6.2 is not usable, at least that's what we've been told when we got the product and we've never used it. To create your own custom reports you have to use Adobe's EPSDK API which has its own data access mechanism to the workitems. You don't access the SQL tables directly. Check ObjectLibrary.pdf of the docs.
We use WF Server v.6.2. I have two perhaps related questions.
I would like to run reports of data in work items, such as for a Check Request form, which work items a particular person authorized, and other reports I noticed in Help that there is a Reports button that can appear in Workflow Web Access, between Preferences and Help. How can I get the Reports button to appear?
Also, how can I access the work item data from the backend - the SQL tables? Where would it usually be stored?
Thanks in advance.
Mary

I have a exact same question that why report button is not showing on the form as it is showing in help.

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

Ajax Report Pull from another Page Pagination override

We are on a time crunch and need to get this application working in a timely manner, any help would greatly be appreciated..
*[History leading up to problem]*
We followed the code from this example http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:48:4441142106394445 which pulls a report from another page using AJAX so we could update a report (in this case a tabular form). Since Tabular Forms cannot update past 30-40 records we had to turn on pagination to prevent errors when trying to submit it.
Since Pagination on the bottom of the report/tabular form links to the other page the report is on, I decided to attempt to override next> href link to instead call a javascript with the url from next> (Report/Tabular Form Pagination) with Jquery the following code {the override is working} {comments added here for clarification}...
var oldhref =$("a.t20pagination").attr("href"); //get Apex Pagination a href link location
$("a.t20pagination").attr('href', "javascript:return false"); // change the Apex Pagination a href llink location to do nothing
$("a.t20pagination").click(function () { // Create an onclick for Apex Pagination a href that calls a javascript function
get_report_page(oldhref); // This function is needed because I am grabbing the report from another page, I hope to
}); // get this javascript working [the reason why I am asking this question here]
$("a.t20pagination").removeClass("t20pagination"); // Removed the pagination class just in case it was causing issues.
The function I am working on below... {I figured I have to do the htmldb_get function {I am still new to Apex so I am not totally clear on it, but learning}, to get the report again from the other page, but I need to add pagination.. So I figured I could split the link location based on the : and go through the array for the parts I need to pass in the htmldb_get}, with alerts to help diagnose the problem...
function get_report_page(curUrl) {
alert ('Hello how are you today?');
var temp = new Array();
temp = curUrl.split(':');
alert ('I like the number '+temp.length);
for ( var i=0, len=temp.length; i<len; ++i ){
alert (i+":"+temp); // Square brackets actually used, changed to squiggly here to show
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,null,205,null, null, temp{4}); // Square brackets actually used, changed to squiggly here to show
gReturn = get.get(null,'<htmldb:BOX_BODY>','</htmldb:BOX_BODY>');
get = null;
$x('ReportDrop').innerHTML = gReturn;
*[Actual Problem]*
Since the report is on another page (in this case 205) and is being pulled onto Page 200 where the user is, when the user clicks on the Next> for the report/tabluar form pagination, the user is automatically thrown to page 205 {I want to keep the user on page 200 and pass the pagination, then pull the report/tabular form again}
I looked at the link http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11620:63:834860992188521::NO::: but I am not sure where to stick the report pagination{I thought it would be queryString {above you see I am setting temp[4] in the queryString parameter}..
I know the function is working since I get the alert messages, after that where the report would be it gives the following error...
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
mod_plsql: /pls/apex/wwv_flow.show HTTP-400 Signature Mismatch or Missing '='
Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.2 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at nysastst.senate.state.ny.us Port 7778
Can I simply splice the url like I am doing above and pass it to htmldb_get (or is there anyway to pass the report pagination using htmldb_get)?
If so, what am I doing wrong?
Also, does this seem like a decent solution or is there a better solution for this issue?
- Thanks in advance,
- Brian

Thanks cb... it worked like a charm..
but at first, I Could not get it to work because in my report that was being pulled from another page did not have Enable Partial Refresh set to Yes under Report Attributes > Layout and Pagination.. When it was off the a href link of the pagination was showing a standard link. Once Enable Partial Refresh was set to Yes, the pagination then showed a link to javascript:$a_report(...); which meant you can now override it with the javascript function.
Here is the thread I found it in

Calling report application from jsp

Hi,
I am designing a JSP that captures search parameters. The user will enter words contained in a company name and product codes. This triggers the jsp to display all matches on the same page. My question is how do I call a portal report application from within the jsp and pass the parameters? Also, I would like to change the column condition relational operator for the date parameters.
Thanks for any help,

Updateable Report Question.

Updateable Report Question.
Currently I am developing an XE application, so I think that is apex 2.0.
Here is an example of what I wish to achieve.
Suppose I have an emp table with columns
dept, id, name and comment.
I create an SQL report as
SELECT * from emp;
I only wish to see the name and comment columns, so in the report attributes I un-tick show the columns dept and id.
I want the user to be able to update the comment column, So I edit the comment column and in “Tabular Form Element” I change the “Display As” from “Standard Report Column” to “Text Field”
This now lets me edit the data in the column in the report.
Now want to add in an on change event to call a javascript routine that will use ajax to do the actual update.
My problem is that I need to pass in the “hidden” dept and id column values as well as the modified text, thus
In “Tabular Form Element” – “Element Attributes” add in
onchange="updateRemarks(#DEPT#, #ID#, this.value)"
Unfortunately this does not work, apex does not expand the #DEPT# & #ID#, and just passes in the literal text.
So how can I achieve this?
Thanks,
GP>

The columns and rows have a set format for the Id, so if you know one Id you know the row and the ids of all the other columns.
As an example, this will show the value of column 6 when you click on any column with the function call in the Element Attributes:
Script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showCol6(col){
var col6 = document.getElementById("f06_" + col.id.substr(4,4));
alert(col6.value);
</script>Element Attributes:
onclick=showCol6(this);You could also use a Named Column template, specific to this region, to include the column values directly in the function call, but I think it's best to stick with the ApEx defaults if possible.

I am a real beginner.
Thanks .
Hope someone replies soon.
Take care.

OK, I think I understand your questions, so here goes:
quote:
HOW DO YOU MAKE A PAGE THAT WILL CONTAIN
The link of this MyReport.
Simply have a link on a page, ex:
<a href ="LINK URL">LINK TEXT</a>,
As for your question on your reports, I do not understand
what you are asking
quote:
HOW DO I CHANGE THE FOLDER
FROM
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it
http://myserver/Myreport/
TO
Z:\NewExport\repmining\myreport
Then point to it
http://myserver/ repmining\myreport
If you are directly connected to the server, just create a
folder in (from what it looks like) Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ that is
the new folwer name, ex:
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\NEW_folder and put files into it. If you
are now directly connected to the server, use a program like FTP
server to connect via FTP and do the same.
quote:
WHY IS THE REPDOCS NOT TYPED IN THE BROWSER WHEN VIEWING THE
MYREPORT.( i dont have to type (repdocs)to view the report?)
in other words:
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Is typed
http://myserver/Myreport/
this is simply because
http://myserver/Myreport/ is
set to point at the folder Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport therefore
it looks like
http://myserver is set to the folder
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ anything you add into a folder after that will
be included.
I hop eI answered some of your questions

BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

Hi Gurus,
Here is my issue.
I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
Two Columns
One Key Figure: Subtotal1
One Restricted Key Figure: Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
Two Rows Plant, Sales Organization
One Variable with Sales Organization.
When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
Thanks
Sasi

How to keep questions from counting toward quiz grade

I have some checks for understanding throughout my module that use question slides. I do not want them to count toward the quiz grade at the end. How can I accomplish this? I can't make them "Survey" questions because I want there to be feedback. If I uncheck "Report answers", does that keep the question from counting toward the quiz grade?

I couldn't find the Advanced Interaction panel (though I do remember this panel in Captivate 6 - is it still there is 7?).
Screen Capture
http://screencast.com/t/QIEVB675d
However, I do see where I can set the points to 0 in the Quiz Properties panel. I think that will work, right?

Accessing clustered report servers from Forms

Hi
The "Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services 11g R2 (11.1.2)" manual in Section 2.5 talks about setting up a High Availability environment for Reports.
It discusses how to set the cluster configuration and how to create a reports job repository in the database. It says that you need to have a unique name for each report server, finally it says that you should use Oracle Web Cache to load balance for the reports cluster.
If you are calling the report server from Forms with a run_report_object then you don't go via the web cache, so I am confused how you send your report request to the reports cluster in a load balanced fashion.
Has anyone done this or can explain how this works for Forms?
TIA
Tony

I know that this is an old thread, but I've taken the liberty to bump it up, as I have the same question.
The Reports documentation describes quite succinctly how to configure the report servers to be clustered - no problem there.
The issue is that when you run a report from forms using run_report_object, you are required to specify a report server name. The Reports docs specify that all of the server names must be unique, so this seems to indicate that you cannot use a clustered report server environment from Forms, or am I missing something somewhere? Oh, wait - an insight coming here - Can you (I'll test this, but it would be good to know) specify a cluster name instead of an actual report server name? Google to the rescue:
Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT: If the call specifies a Reports Server cluster name instead of a Reports Server name, the reports_servermap environment variable must be set in the Oracle Forms Services default.env file. If your Oracle Forms application uses multiple Reports Server cluster names, you can map each of those cluster names to a different Reports Server using reports_servermap in rwservlet.properties, as follows:
There's the answer. Sometimes writing the question down helps figure out the answer :)

John

Call Report Builder from Jdeveloper 10g with parameters

hello , how are you
i am in oracle forms for long , today i am work in jdeveloper 10g, i want some questions
1- how call oracle report builder from oracle jdeveloper 10g with parameters
2- if there aren't call from jdeveloper 10g, what is good report tools?
thanks.

I'm assuming that what you want to do is actually run a report from a JDeveloper application.
To do this you can use the various ways that Reports offer to invoke reports with the report server - including URL & Web Service interfaces.
More information on these in the Oracle Reports - Publishing reports manual.

Hello everybody, merry chrismats to all.
Im working with Forms & Developer DevSuite in Red Hat Linux ES/AS.
Sometimes when I call a report from form using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT the report server is up & working but the forms dont find it & say FRM-41213 error, but after trying sometimes it begin to work.
Question : ¿ Is there anyway to start and stop report server from forms ?
Thanks in advanced & regards.

Question from SQL Certified Expert

Hi
A have a problem with question from Oracle.Lead2Pass test, people wrote that test is valid. But I don't understand answer...
There is print screen - [http://www.fotoszok.pl/show.php/1342156_sql-test.jpg.html] -
I execute this on oracle 10g and:
1) The problem is space instead of common
(order_id jtem_id)
(order_id item_id)
2) If I correct this (replace space to common )- the execution still returns the errors and any index, table doesn't exist.
3) If I correct the name of columns
(order_id item_id)
(order_id item_id) everything is OK.
Can you explain me this? Is there any mistake in the question?
Thanks!

ProjectUID selected from the reporting database from Project Server OnPublished event is taking some delay

Hi all,
I'm invoking a stored procedure from the reporting database from the project server onPublished event. I'm having some issues in getting the details of that particular project from the published event handler. This i noticed that there is some
delay is taking place in moving the data(project uid ) from the published to the reporting database .
My stored procedure select statement is as follows:
SELECT ProjectUID, ProjectName FROM MSP_EpmProject_UserView
　WHERE ProjectUID=value
This stored procedure is invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler where that particular projectuid is passed in that stored procedure.I have noticed that some delay is taking palce to move the data into the reporting database.
My stored procedure got invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler before the delay is complete. So the row selected from the stored procedure is alwys zero (0). Is there any other method to wait for repoting database
to get refreshed. Please help me .

Hi sabithad,
The issue you are facing is because of the conflict of permissions, event handlers always works through administrative user credentials whereas the project is open in edit mode by the logged-in user. And you are tyring to update custom field at the back
end with Administrative credentials, while project queue is in process by logged-in users credentials. Its not gonna work this way :)
The best option is to use Javascript on your PDP using CEWP, you can either build your complete logic in JavaScript and place that code on your PDP. OR you can use the combination of JavaScript and PSI and create a webpart to be placed on PDP.
below blog link willgive you directions to go ahead with, but for sure the solution to your query is
JavaScript :)

hope this helps.
