Saved Interactive Reports after APEX Upgrade

Hi,
When you do an APEX Upgrade are saved interactive reports kept?
Martin

I have been experiencing lost saved "as Named Report" Interactive reports, whenever I migrate the application from test to prod.
To clarify how we operate.
We have a test APEX environment that is separate to production. The Test app has a different App_id but uses the same schema name. In test the application Id is 1xxx (eg 1201) and in test 2xxx (2201). I export Test 1201 and then import into Prod changing the App_id to overwrite 2201. I always lose the saved reports. I just tried an experiment of creating the saved report in Test and seeing if it migrates to prod, but of course it does not.
How should I operate the two different Test and Prod environment to be "best practice" and not lose "as Named Report" Interactive report saved by the end-user?
thanks Peter

Upgrade To 4.2 Saved Interactive Reports

We are currently upgrading our environments to Apex 4.2 from 3.2.
Some of our applications have saved interactive reports.
Is there anything special I need to do, so we don't lose these ?

Hi Gus C,
At the time of Export please check
Under Export Preferences
Select Yes in Export Private Interactive Reports
see below for info
Export Supporting Object Definitions =     Yes
Export Public Interactive Reports      = Yes
Export Private Interactive Reports =              Yes
Export Interactive Report Subscriptions =     No
Export Developer Comments      = Yes
Export Translations      = No
This will export your Saved Interactive Reports.

Save Interactive Reports in Apex 4.0 for a specific user

Hello all
Here's the setup: I have APEX 4.0.1 running on Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2003.
I built a GPS application which allows users to see their vehicles on a google map...but this is beside the point.
My problem is that when a user saves a specific Interactive Report (after having done some customization as to columns & computaitons etc) the report is visible to any one that connects to the application.
I am using a custom made authentication (in Apex I use no authentication and have a function validate the user logon before he is taken to the main page). this is because users are divided into companies, sub companies and departments and each user is granted access to a page in function of his presence in this hierarchy.
My question is: how can I implement the feature whereby saved interactive reports are visible to only those users that saved them?
Thanks in advance

Hi "user12045065" (please change your forum handler),
what does APP_USER show for you? Is it the same for all users?
I'm not sure if I fully understood your sentence "in Apex I use no authentication and have a function validate the user logon".
Does that mean you are NOT using a "custom authentication scheme" for that? If you answer that question with yes, how should APEX be able to distinguish the different users? And I still don't understand why you don't use it, because also with a "custom authentication scheme" you can redirect the user to the page he is privileged for.

Saved interactive reports - need a way to migrate to updated application

APEX version 4.1
We had an application (APP_ID =20) in operational environment that users had saved many reports.
Recently we made enhancements to the application and promoted the development version of the application into our operational database. When importing we picked a new APP_ID =21. After several weeks on Operational system users have noticed there saved interactive reports are no longer showing up in pull down list.
I have seen several posts talking about keeping the application IDs the same ensures the saved reports are preserved. For our situation I am not sure the best route to take to get us back to where users have there reports. Can I export APP_ID =21 on OPS, import this back into a dev environment setting its number back to 20, then export this from Dev and re-import onto OPS using the re-use APP_ID=20 option. Was not sure if this would work since APP_ID =21 on OPS has no saved report now??
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Saved interactive reports

Joel has a nice writeup about how saved public interactive report settings are handled when applications are moved around.
Some questions...
Since the IDs of all of the application meta data have changed, all of your users' customized reports in the previous version of the application are forever left orphaned until they're cleaned up by an internal APEX batch process
1. Which batch process is this referring to? One of the jobs in dba_scheduler_jobs setup during the install process? Which one exactly? Is there any documentation on all the jobs installed and what each one does?
2. Is there a way to run these jobs manually as a one-off/adhoc activity without waiting for their scheduled run? I tried logging in as SYSTEM, setting the security_group_id and running apex_040000.wwv_flow_maint.daily_maintenance and apex_040000.wwv_flow_cache.purge_sessions but that didn't seem to do anything that I could tell. Do they have to be run as SYSDBA?
Upon import of a new version of the application, all meta data associated with application 645 is first deleted except the Customized Interactive Reports. In essence, these are left "dangling" until the new application 645 is installed.3. I found that when an application is deleted using the Builder Delete Application wizard, even the saved interactive reports are deleted. I am not sure I see why this is so. An application could be deleted in error and restored from source control but the user saved IR settings are gone for ever! May I suggest that the wizard be changed to not delete the saved reports?
Thanks

Changing usernames - migrating saved Interactive Reports

Hi all,
We are changing our authentication scheme for our Apex 4.2 app. Unfortunately the new authentication provider requires us to use usernames of a different format to those that we currently use. This will make our saved interactive reports for each of our many users "disappear" as they are saved against a given username. For example, where I may have had the username SURNAME1234 I will now have FIRSTNAME.SURNAME1
I haven't found any Oracle-sanctioned method of doing this migration rather than just altering data in the Apex Schemas. If there is one, I would be very grateful to hear of it, but I haven't spotted anything in my searches.
If I do have to just hack around in the data, I've devised the following update statement to "migrate" the usernames:
UPDATE apex_040200.wwv_flow_worksheet_rpts
SET application_user = :DG_USER_ID
WHERE application_user = :OLD_USER_ID;
... Can anyone think of any complications that might arise from this? Is there anything more I need to do to ensure that the system remains internally consistent? It seems to work ok in my initial testing (moving a report from one user to another).
Any help greatly appreciated,
Alex.

Alex / Duncs,
There isn't any supported way to change the owner of saved reports in the current release of APEX 4.2.3. The UPDATE statement given by Alex is unsupported and dangerous as it can touch rows which are not saved reports. We will provide a supported PL/SQL API to change the saved report owner in the future release of APEX.

Christina

Maximum number of saved interactive reports?

Is there an upper limit on the number of saved reports an application user can create?
I.E., for a given interactive report, does Apex specify a maximum number of report configurations a user can save?
I've checked the documentation and haven't found a limit mentioned, though I might have missed something.

Hi,
The Saved Search uses a Drop Down List Box.
The Drop Down List Boxes are used to display small amount of data only.The amount of data determines the time taken to load the list. I am not sure of any setting to restrict this number.
I would say,it is a feature for the user to select data quickly.F4 helps are used if Value Helps have large data to display.
However table CRMD_SHORTCUT contains the entries that are displayed in the Saved Search.

Missing User Saved Interactive Reports

version 4.0.2.00.07
Hello,
I have Interactive Reports that users who are saying that their reports that they saved as a Named Report are no longer there, as though they were deleted.
Where would those reports that are saved as a Named Report be saved and can they be retrieved?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I don't know, if it officially possible, but do not think.
But this is possible with some adjustments in your template/code.
Here can you see my little example with saved interactive reports shown in a different SQL region.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=2071:201
Based on the query you can create the tabs and "fill" the tabs with the content.

User Saved Interactive Reports like in the old days?

Hello!
Is there a way to display user saved (private) interactive reports in 4.0.2 like they were displayed in 3.2.1 (tabs instead of the Reports Select List)?

Saved Interactive reports options display for all users

Hello,
For now I build once again my apex apllications in Apex 4.0
I created a user. In the apex administration this user is not an administrator and not a developper either.
However the saved interactive report options display for him too, so he can choose the look of the default report, etc...
Is that a bug ?? Or did I forget something ?
Thanks !
Fanny

Fanny, as long as you are logged in as a developer in apex you will be able to save the report as the standard report, no matter with what user you are logged into your application.

Saved Interactive Reports - Show Description

Is there any method to show the description for a saved interactive report?
Right now it only shows up as a javascript highlight of the saved report name and I would like to show it on the saved report itself.
(report is being shared via a common users to many users, and I want to explain to others what the reports are as they see them).
thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,
I also wanted to do that, but I didn't find an easy way of doing it (not declarative).
I guess they will provide such a functionality in a future version of APEX.
The only way I can think of now is to change the DOM object.

Dimitri

Group share - saved Interactive Reports

Hi,
My customer would like to share their personal "Saved Interactive Reports" with other users.
We have a work around by creating a "Group User ID", login as this ID and create, use, share these reports.
My customer doesn't like logging in/out all the time..
Thank you, BC

Share saved interactive reports

Hi, does anyone found a way of sharing saved interactive reports ? i'm using version 3.1.2.
Thanks,
Chantale

So rather than using interactive reports just build a report page with a bunch of named reports listed and based on the report someone clicks on they get the output as it was predefined. You can do it with dynamic SQL or just hide/show different regions based on the selected report name. Not the elegant solution that IRRs offer, but if that's what the users need then that's one way of achieving it.

Way to copy saved interactive reports to another application?

Is there a way to copy saved interactive reports (public and private) from one application id to another
or does anyone have a SQL script to do this that they would share?
