Retrieve SQL Query from report without RAS.

We have a fat client application which uses Crystal Reports. We upgraded from the RDC/ActiveX viewer to the .Net SDK/.Net Viewer. One feature that we miss is that we used to read the SQL Query that a report used and wrote it to our log file. This helped with debugging and with troubleshooting problems in the field.
Since we only deploy the freely distributable Crystal Reports model and I don't think that RAS falls into this category is there a way which we can read the SQL Query from a report? If not, could you add this to a list of requested features for future versions.
I understand why you removed the ability to set the SQL query, but simply reading it does add value. Maybe it is difficult for you to return this before the report is run in which case giving us the ability to read the value after the report has been run would also be fine.
Alternatively some sort of event that is fired each time a query is executed would also be helpful as this would allow Crystal Reports clients to monitor SQL from sub-reports. You could even build a robust logging mechanism which could report additional information (i.e. number of rows returned, formula evaluations, or anything related to report execution). All of this would make troubleshooting report issues easier for those of us who use Crystal Reports.

Need to know what version of CR you are using?
You can use InProc RAS, it comes with CR and is distributed with the runtime files.
If you are using CR Basic or the version that comes with Visual Studio .NET then no this will not be added to that product line. It is basic functionality only. You will need to upgrade to a Developer version of Crystal reports to take advantage of the the RCAPI features as well as more general API's.
There is logging for our DB drivers but the log files get very large. If you use ODBC then you have the option to turn on tracing also. Using RAS you don't need to turn on logging as you can get the SQL. This won't be added either.
Thank you
Don

API to retrieve SQL query from a Webi Document

Hi,
Which API can be used to retrieve the Oracle SQL query for a webi report using BO XI web services SDK? The report is connected to a Oracle database in the backend.
A sample code is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

Frank,
I received your email with this same question so I'll just respond here. Our internet-facing hosted site apex.oracle.com allows you to request a workspace and, after the request is approved and the workspace provisioned, to develop applications there. If you already have an application that you need some help with, you can import/install it into your workspace on apex.oracle.com. This makes it easy to demonstrate problems to others who might be able to help.
Sometimes it will be necessary for you to create developer accounts in your workspace in order for others to use your Application Builder. You can post usernames/passwords here or you can convey those privately to those offering their services. In either case, you'd want to remove or disable those accounts as soon as the problem is resolved. For problems that I ask to see demonstrated on apex.oracle.com, it is not necessary for you to create an account for me. I can do that as our group runs the site. I just need to know your workspace name and application ID.

Is there a simple way to refresh a SQL Query (Updatable report) region

I have a page in APex 4.1 that has many regions. I would like to be able to refresh a single region.
Currently, I have the following
Region (sql query updateable report).
STATIC ID = LANDINGS
in the region footer, I have:
<script type="text/javascript">
$s('P110_LANDINGS_REGION_ID','#REGION_STATIC_ID#');
</script>
P110_LANDINGS_REGION_ID is a hidden field.
I use javascript to refresh....but it does not seem to be working. Previously, we had hard-coded the region id ( $a_report('1363338167540162011','1','100','100');) ...but that ID was somehow corrupted, which has lead me to the 'OMG...there must be an easier way!' lament.
the javascript is:
$a_report('P110_LANDINGS_REGION_ID','1','100','100');
thanks!
Karen
ps. could I just directly reference the static id in my javascript...
$a_report('LANDINGS','1','100','100');

Karen,
First off: please post code in {code}...{code} tags!
function AddFavoriteSpecies()
get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=favorite_species_collection',0);
gReturn = get.get();
rowCount = rowCount + parseInt(gReturn);
pHMS_add = '&G_HMS_FLAG.';
$a_report('1363338167540162011','1','100','100');
//$a_report($x('P110_LANDINGS_ID').value,'1','15','15');the statement:
$a_report('1363338167540162011','1','100','100'); works, but the statement $a_report($x('P110_LANDINGS_ID').value,'1','15','15'); does not.
Can anyone help.
I am assigning the page field P110_LANDINGS_ID in the footer of a region with a static id = LANDINGS.
<script type="text/javascript">
$s('P110_LANDINGS_ID','#REGION_STATIC_ID#');
</script>
Well, let's start by dumping $a_report. This is undocumented code, and it has long been replaced by triggering a refresh.
Next, don't use $x(pNode).value to retrieve a value. Rather use $v(pNode) to do this.
function AddFavoriteSpecies()
   get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=favorite_species_collection',0);
   gReturn = get.get();
   rowCount = rowCount + parseInt(gReturn);
   pHMS_add = '&G_HMS_FLAG.';
   //get the region id from the item
   //use it in a jQuery selector to get the region
   //trigger the refresh event on this object
   $("#" + $v('P110_LANDINGS_ID')).trigger('apexrefresh');
}Now if you want to make sure that P110_LANDINGS_ID contains a value, add an alert with its value before you use it.
alert('P110_LANDINGS_ID value: '+$v('P110_LANDINGS_ID'))

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values
Outline of requirement :-
Master / Detail page with Detail updated on same page using SQL Query (updateable report).
The detail region has the following source
SELECT item_id,
       contract_id,
       CASE WHEN hardware_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HA'
            WHEN backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'BD'
            WHEN hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HS'
       END item_type,
       hardware_id,
       backup_dev_id,
       hardware_os_id
FROM   "#OWNER#".support_items
WHERE contract_id = :P26_CONTRACT_IDThe table support_items implements arced relationships and has the following columns
CREATE TABLE SUPPORT_ITEMS
ITEM_ID         NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
CONTRACT_ID     NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
HARDWARE_ID     NUMBER,
BACKUP_DEV_ID   NUMBER,
HARDWARE_OS_ID NUMBER
)A check type constaint on support_items ensures that only one of the fk's is present.
      (    hardware_id    IS NOT NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL
      )    Hardware_Id is a FK to Hardware_Assets
Backup_dev_id is a FK to Backup_Devices
Hardware_os_id is a FK to Hardware_op_systems
The Tabular Form Element based on item_type column of SQL query is Displayed As Select List (based on LOV) referencing a named list of values which have the following properties
Display Value     Return Value
Hardware Asset    HA
Backup Device     BD
Computer System   HSThe Tabular Form Elements for the report attributes for hardware_id, backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id are all Displayed As Select List (Based on LOV).
What I want to do is only display the Select List for the FK depending on the value of the Select List on Item Type, e.g.
Item_Type is 'HA' then display Select List for hardware_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'BB' then display Select List for backup_dev_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for hardware_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'HS' then display Select List for hardware_os_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists backup_dev_id and hardware_id.
There are properties on elements to conditionally display it but how do we reference the values of the SQL query Updateable region? they are not given a page item name?
Also on the Tabular For Elements there is an Edit tick against a report item - however when you go to the Column Attributes there is not a property with which you can control the Edit setting.
What's the best way of implementing this requirement in APEX 3.1?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "user13515136".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I have a multi-row region that displays values and allows entries in a number of fields.Provide exact details of how this has been implemented. (An example on apex.oracle.com is always a good way to do this.)
I should like the fields to be conditional in that they do not permit entry, but still display, if certain conditions apply (e.g. older rows greyed out). Can this be done? Almost anything can be done, often in multiple ways. Which are appropriate may be dependent on a particular implementation, the skills available to implement it, and the effort you're willing to expend on it. Hence it's necessary to provide full details of what you've done so far...

Get a insert session value for SQL query at report

Hi friends
I created a global temp table and procedure to support web search form.
and a search result report. The procudure
gets search result from multip tables and
insert into temp table --recordsearch. I can get value from temp table by call procedure
at SQL*Plus.
However, I can not get this value by web report.
How can I get this insert session value and pass to SQL query for report?
Thanks,
Newweb
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE recordsearch
(emp_id          VARCHAR2(200),
ssn               VARCHAR2(9),
fname          VARCHAR2(200),
lname           VARCHAR2(200),
m_name          VARCHAR2(200)
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

it possible that your web form does not have a persistent, dedicated connection. if you have connection pooling for example, multiple sessions will see the same instance of the GTT, so if one deletes it, then nobody sees it (or you can see others data). if the connections are not persistent, then they can disconnect between calls, deleting the GTT table.

Update Field On Change For A SQL Query (updateable report)

Hi,
I'd like to request help from anyone with ideas on how to solve this.
We are using APEX 4.2, 10GR2, RedHat5.
I have a report that comes from SQL Query (updateable report).
I'm using the apex_item.text and apex_item.hidden on fields.
I'm using a button to submit and after submit process to add some logic that I need.
There could be 1 - 10 records in the report.
There is only 1 field that is needed to enter a value, but the value of this field determines the value of another field.
I think that I can do this with a submit button and an after submit process where I loop through all the records. I think I have this handled.
This is the question
When the value of that field is changed then the value of another field in the same row changes immediately.
Is this possible?
All the examples I've seen so far are for a single record and that doesn't work for us.
I guess this is a MRU process but I haven't seen an example where a dynamic action is possible on a Multi Row Update.
Could anyone direct me to where I can see an example or help me get directions?
I appreciate all your help an comments and I thank you in advance.

Yes why not...what you looking for is a ajax call
See {message:id=10390979}
Please note:-you can also do this as a dynamic action as shown below

Sql query in report/source

Is possible use this kind of select select a,(select b from b) from b
in sql query in report/source?

Pretty much any valid select statement can be used.
If it works in SQL*Plus, then it should work in Application Express.
I think your example would not be valid if table b has more than one row.
A scalar subquery (like your "select b from b") must only return a single value.
SQL> select ename, (select job from emp) from emp e;
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one rowIf your subquery can be restricted to return one value, then it should work.
SQL> select ename, (select job from emp where empno = e.empno) job from emp e;

How to add a parameter to sql query in report

Hi
How to add a parameter to sql query in report.
Parameter is from Visual studio
example:
select * from tab1 where dl=parameter???
I have VS 2008 prof CR XI R2, mysql

Hello,
If you have this API available then you can modify the record selection formulae in code to add filtering:
string recordSelectionFormula = "{T_INV_RPT_ADDR.IND_PROMUS} = {?P_PROMUS?} AND {T_INV_RPT_POINT.INVOICE_DATE} = DATE(2008, 05, 31) AND {T_INV_RPT_POINT.CHECKOUT_DATE} = date(2008, 04,29)";
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = recordSelectionFormula;
You have to format and follow the rules as in the Designer so not too much work to get this to work.
CR for .NET may not have the ability so you will need to upgrade to a Developer version of Crystal Reports.
Thank you
Don

APEX 4.1, SQL Query(Updateable report), Validation issue.

Hi,
I am using APEX 4.1.

Setting the cell width in a Tabular Form (SQL Query (updateable report) )

version 3.2.1
I have a Tabular Form (SQL Query (updateable report) ) and I have a column that is a VARCHAR2(4000) that when displayed extends the cell to the full length (which of course makes sense).
How can I set the width of this cell to something like 30 or 50 and wrap the contents?
Thanks,
Joe

Scott,
Thank you for replying.
Your suggestion kinda worked. I say kinda because when the report is first displayed the cell is the full width and appears to ignore the width setting. There is a Select List on the report to restrict some of the data that is displayed. When a selection is made from this Select List, it appears that the cell width is then adjusted to what was set, but not for every selection from this Select List.
I made the width entry in Tabular Form Element - Element Width
Any idea why the width setting is ignored?
Thanks,
Joe

Sql Query(Updateable Report) with pagination

Hi,
We're on APEX 3.2 I have a question on Sql Query(Updateable Report) and pagination. I have an updateable report which we have set to show 20 rows. When the userwhi has more than 20 rows enters the data and clicks next the data disappears. I have been reviewing other posts, but haven't come to a clear conclusion on how to prevent this from happening. I have been trying to use javascript to show a save popup when clicking 'Next' Any help is appreciated.

SQL Query (updateable report) CheckBox Update Problem

My process will update 1 or 2 rows, but fails on three or more rows. All the rows on the page can be processed, up to 2 at a time.
The SQL Query Report can have 50 rows on a page. Only the check box and the hidden primary key column are returned by the report to the process (marked as edit).
If I issue the update myself, I can update any number of rows with no error.
If I change the update SQL to a select, it works for the all of the checked lines (the correct count is displayed in the process message.
The only thing I see for the failure is a url
http://d101dbaxeaa2llb:10700/apex/wwv_flow.accept
Process is:
DECLARE
vRow BINARY_INTEGER;
item NUMBER;
BEGIN
item := 0;
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
item := item + 1;
vRow := apex_application.g_f01(i);
update #OWNER#.B_ATT_DAYS_FUT
set day_status_cd =
case
when day_status_cd = -1 and day_dt is not null then 2
when day_status_cd = -1 and day_dt is null then 0
when day_status_cd = 6 then 7
else 2
end
where days_pk = to_number(apex_application.g_f02 (vRow));
END LOOP;
:P35_CHECKED_CT := item;
END;
This is in APEX Application Express 3.1.0.00.32 on Oracle 11.1.0.6.0.

Query is at the end. The Report Regions is a SQL Query (Updatable Report).
I don't thinks this is my code problem.
The system I'm using is dieing. It has had two disk crashes, which spinrite brought back. I've restored from a partition image and a full cold backup. Then I've had a number of blue screen failures. One of the DBAs working for me rebuilt the 11g instance on a VM and restored the cold backup. Everything runs fine there. I even applied the latest code export from the failing systems development workspace to the VM based system. Still runs fine.
There are a number of abends in the alert log ORA-07445 and ORA-21779 for which our on-site ASC Engineer has opened a TAR/SR. I suspect that some part of one of the FLOW tablespaces was damaged, a part which deals with runtime APEX. Build time is running fine. Application just does not, either as a runtime or in the development system.
We are moving to a new AIX server, just finishing the setup and then I can send over the exports. That should put this to bed.
