Seeking help for a report design

How to create dynamic footnotes, if it's even possible, with Oracle
Reports?
A dynamic footnote would be one that appears on a page only if it is
used on that page.
For example:
Regions: South East West North
Widget A
S: $1500.
E: $100.
Footnotes:
S = South
E = East
------------- (page break of group or bottom of page) --------
Widget B
S: $1500.
W: $100.
Widget C
S: $1500.
Widget D
S: $15002.
W: $100.
Footnotes
S= South
W = West
We only want the ones that are used on the page to appear on the footnote
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks.

Hallo Denis,
I have a similar problem: Want to display some value from the database in a margin field. I created a user parameter v_Title_Crew and pressetted it in the format trigger of a formula field. Used srw.set_field_char (0, :v_Title_Crew) in the format trigger of the margin field to display the content of the variable. But unfortunately this does not work: It seems to me that the margins are prepared before the query is executed; the variable is not set. Before I simply connected the margin field to the variable in the property palette but this didn't work better. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks and regards - Ulrich

Bypass a prompt for broadcasted reports-designer only

Dear All,
I'm having a little question concerning @prompt, as I used it in WHERE clause
to force users to choose only dimension value at a time ('mono' option) to lower
down number of datas.
But as reports designer I'd like to bypass this prompt .. is-it possible through
standard option ? or should I implement a technical trick like create 'ALL' in lov
and make this value available only for designer?
I noticed an optional value user:0 in @prompt syntax but coulnd find any documentation
related to this, does anybody know how to use it ?
Thanks for your help,
Rgds,
Nicolas

By bypassing the prompt do you mean that the users should not be prompted to enter values in the prompt rather it should pick up a default value and generate the report on the basis of that.
There is no such way in Designer to bypass a prompt. We can add ALL in the LOVs of the object but still user's will be prompted for the value, here they can select ALL from the LOVs. You can also specify to Keep the Last Values Selected in the prompt. Hence everytime the report the prompt will appear with the Last Value that was passed. You can either change it if you want or can refresh the report with the same value.
To achieve this you can use "Persistent" parameter.
This parameter keeps the last entry in the prompt as the default value when reusing the prompt.
The syntax of @prompt then becomes:
@prompt('prompt','Data Type','LOV',Mono or Multi,Free or Constrained,Persistent or Not_Persistent,,User:0)
Here the User:0 or User:1 is used to specify the order of prompts as they should appear in the report.
BO XI 3.0 also has a feature of "Optional Prompt". You can define a prompt as optional, hence its not mandataory for the user to enter a value in the prompt.
I hope this should help.

Which CTC template needs to be run for Bex Reporting Designer

Hi,

Hi,
To ensure BI Java is configured correctly and completely, please do the following:
1. Always use the CTC Template for BI Java for configuration (check SAP NetWeaver 2004s Masterguide available at http:/service.sap.com/instguides for details). Manual configuration or configuration via report RSPOR_SETUP should not be done for SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
2. To ensure a smooth configuration process, make sure that you have deployed the very latest patch from SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/swdc for CTC Template for BI Java.
3. To avoid encountering already known issues within the area of BI Java itself, make sure to deploy the latest patches for SCAs BI-BASE-S and BIWEBAPP.
4. Read note 983156 ('BI configuration w. Template Installer') and ake sure the necessary prerequisites are given on the ABAP side. Ensure that you have installed the latest LM Tools.
5. After running the CTC Template for BI Java, run SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool as described in note 937697 to verify your installation. In the "Advanced mode" of the tool, go to the "Configuration checks" tab and check for potential red traffic lights. To resolve the issues shown there, check the "Remedy" column and follow the instructions given there.
6. The overall process is described in more detail in note 917950 ('SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting up BEx Web'). Make sure to go through the note and also have a look at the document WDEBU7_Setting_up_BEx_Web.zip attached to that note, showing the overall process in a set of slides with screenshots.

Writing a custom plugin for Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
I need to add a custom functionality to Crystal Report Designer so that itu2019s available as a menu option is the CRD and should able to be selected by the Report Designer when they design a report using CRD. Is it possible to write and add custom plugins to the CRD? Is there a SDK available to do this or is there a specific method that I could use? Is this supported at all? I need to add the to Crystal Report Designer XI R2 but I could use Crystal 2008 is this is available in that version.
Thank you in advance,

Little help for calling report from a form

hi,
I AM NOT ABLE TO CALL THE REPORT WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE. PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I AM DOING WRONG! THANKS A LOT!!
It is Oracle 9i and Reports 6i.
-> I have a form with only one BUTTON.
-> I have a REPORT with only one USER PARAMETER 'P_1' which is a number.
-> I have only one query INSIDE the report. It is "SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = :P_1'
-> I added the report to form in the OBJECT NAVAVIGATOR of FORM and the NAME OF REPORT is 'REOPRT4'
here is the code on the form:
================================
When_button_pressed
DECLARE
vid report_object;
vname varchar2(100);
BEGIN
vid := find_report_object('Report4');
vname := run_report_object(vid);
END;
==================================
-> the FORM and REPORT are in "c:\helloworld" directory.
-> the error I am getting is 'internal pl/sql error'
-> I WANT THE USER TO ENTER THE RUNTIME PARAMETER FOR THE REPORT AT RUNTIME, so no need to worry about supplying the parameter through code!!!
Thank You very much. I appreciate your kind help!!

I think that you have to add some code, see page 15 in this:

How to create a F4 help for a report selection screen field

hi,
can any one guide me to create F4 help for a field in a selection screen in a report program,plz give me a sample code

hi,
Here are the following ways
1.with the help of match code objects we can create the F4 Functionality for Field.
Syntax is :
PARAMETERS: p_org LIKE t527x-orgeh MATCHCODE OBJECT zorg.
2. One more thing is we can do it with Search Help's also.
3. Even we can do it HELP Views also.
Help Views:
You have to create a help view if a view with outer join is needed as selection method of a search help
The selection method of a search help is either a table or a view. If you have to select data from several tables for the search help, you should generally use a database view as selection method. However, a database view always implements an inner join. If you need a view with outer join for the data selection, you have to use a help view as selection method.
All the tables included in a help view must be linked with foreign keys. Only foreign keys that have certain attributes can be used here. The first table to be inserted in the help view is called the primary table of the help view. The tables added to this primary table with foreign keys are called secondary tables.
The functionality of a help view has changed significantly between Release 3.0 and Release 4.0. In Release 3.0, a help view was automatically displayed for the input help (F4 help) for all the fields that were checked against the primary table of the help view. This is no longer the case in Release 4.0.
As of Release 4.0, you must explicitly create a search help that must be linked with the fields for which it is offered (see Linking Search Helps with Screen Fields ).
Existing help views are automatically migrated to search helps when you upgrade to a release higher than 4.0.
A help view implements an outer join, i.e. all the contents of the primary table of the help view are always displayed. You therefore should not formulate a selection condition for fields in one of the secondary tables of the help view. If records of these secondary tables cannot be read as a result of this selection condition, the contents of the corresponding fields of the secondary table are displayed with initial value.

Help needed with Report Design

Hi All,
Here is the requirement.
Period Type(holds 2 values) : Payment and Vested.
we have field 'Total Days' which is calculated based on "User Selected" Period Type.
For example, When Period Type is Payment,
If start date is less than or equal to grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Grant Date)+1
If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

CRDB_JavaServer.ini file is missing in linux (for Crystal reports designer in Rational Application developer)

Hi I am trying to design crystal reports in rational application developer on linux. But I cannt find CRDB_JavaServer.ini on linux. This file is present in Windows in c:\program files\crystal decisions\2.5\bin path.But I cannt seem to find this file in linux.I am running RAD 6011 ifix001,ifix002 and can see the Crystal Reports JSP Tags drawer in JSP design view.But I cannot find "Crystal report" as one of the file types , when i right click on WebProject\WebContent folderto create a new Crystal Report in my Web project. Any help would be much apprecated. robin. 

I don't know much about this and I'm assuming you already did a find or locate command.Did you find a CRConfig.xml. This file had replaced the old CRDB_JavaServer.ini in newer versions. I'm not sure which one IBM was using for this build. If you have a support contract with IBM I would suggest talking to them as they handle first line support for this. It could be that they forgot to include the file by mistake. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

Seeking help w/ summary report: group_by and subqueries

Hi Folks,
I've been asked to produce a report that shows, for each line of business, the number of projects, and number of submitted charters and I am having difficulty getting my head around this.
Here are the tables with pertinent fields:
Table: E_PROGRAM
Fields:
ID (Primary Key)
Program_Number
Cost_Center (Foreign Key to E_COST_CENTER)
Table: E_PROJECT
Fields:
ID (Primary Key)
Program_ID (Foreign Key to E_PROGRAM)
Table: E_PROJECT_MONTHLY
Fields:
ID(Primary Key)
Project_ID (Foreign Key to E_PROJECT)
Charter_Name
Table: E_COST_CENTER
Cost_Center (Numeric Value)
LOB (Varchar2)
Getting the first part went well. I came up with: select cc.lob, count(pj.id) "# Projects"
from e_program p,e_project pj, e_cost_center cc
where p.id = pj.program_id
and p.cost_center = cc.cost_center
group by cc.lob;So to extend it ag get the # of Charters I tried a subquery: select cc.lob, count(pj.id) "# Projects",
(select count(pjm.id)
from e_project_monthly pjm, e_project pj
where pjm.file_id is not null
and pjm.project_id = pj.id) "# Charters"
from e_program p,e_project pj, e_cost_center cc
where p.id = pj.program_id
and p.cost_center = cc.cost_center
group by cc.lob;The result is the LOB, Correct number of Projects for the LOB and the total number of Charters for all LOBs.      # Projects # Charters
LOB1     35     40
ALL      111     40
LOB3     30     40
LOB4     4     40
LOB5     4     40
LOB2     38     40How can I get the subquery tied into to the main query?
Thanks so much for your help and time.
Petie

try this... this would work... i dont know how much data u have in these tables, hence, havent thought much about performance...
select pr.lob, pr.projects '# Projects' ch.charters '# Charters'
from
(select cc.lob lob, count(pj.id) Projects
from e_program p,e_project pj, e_cost_center cc
where p.id = pj.program_id
and p.cost_center = cc.cost_center
group by cc.lob) pr,
(select cc.lob lob, count(pjm.id) charters
from e_project_monthly pjm, e_project pj, e_program p, e_cost_center cc
where pjm.file_id is not null
and pjm.project_id = pj.id
and pj.id = p.id
and p.cost_center = cc.cost_center
group by cc.lob) ch
where pr.lob = ch.lob

..Hello First post was about what i was trying to accomplish..
Some thing in line of global variables..
I needed the value of apex item to be accessed in other page.. it was select list..
There were two ways to accomplish it..One using apex collection or second
using new change item dynamic action and submitting the item..
Using these methods i was able to access the .page item in other page.
Second post i had, was about how I had solved the issue..
I hat forgotten earlier to close the post.

Dynamic where clause for generated reports (designer 6.0)

Hi,
I'd like to include dynamic where clause into my reports. It's easy with report builder by using bind parameter in a query where clause (&param where param is a parameter in which you fill a VARACHAR2 to complete default where clause).
Problem with designer 6.0 report generator is that he failed while trying to parse the query statement he contructs if there is a bind parameter within.
How can I manage this problem ?
Thanks for answers

Hi Divya,
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no P_WHERE_CLAUSE= '||Where_Clause);Instead of using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY built in try using ADD_PARAMETER built in which
adds parameters to a parameter list. Each parameter consists of a key, its type, and an associated value.
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid); and instead of using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT try using RUN_PRODUCT.
DECLARE
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     Where_Clause Varchar2(4000) := null ;
        *Pl_Id        ParamList;*
        *Pl_Name      VARCHAR2(10) := 'param_list';*
BEGIN
     Where_Clause := 'Where '||Create_Where_Clause();
     message(Where_Clause);
     message(' ');
        pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(pl_name);
        IF not Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
           Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
        END IF;
        pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
        Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_WHERE_CLAUSE', TEXT_PARAMETER, WHERE_CLAUSE);
        Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
--      Add_Parameter(pl_id,'ANY_OTHER_PARAMETER', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'VALUE FOR OTHER PARAMETER');
        RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'REPORT_NAME', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;Also you can add as many User created or System parameters as you want using add_parameter. Updated the code to add PARAMFORM parameter.

Seeking help to create report

I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have a report that keeps track of outages based on application. I now need to break down that report and display the percentage of availability for each application by month. If no outage occured on certain days of the month I would need it to output "0.0".
Does anyone know how I can create a query or pl/sql block to output all days of the month?

Hello there,
So I've been very unsuccessful at creating my report.
I've attempted to use the queries you provided with no success.
select * from
(select trunc(start_date,'MONTH')+rownum-1 as each_day
from outage_info
connect by rownum <= to_char(last_day(end_date),'DD')
where start_date between to_date(01-01-07, 'MM-DD-YY') and to_date(01-03-07, 'MM-DD-YY')
What I'm attempting to do is generate a similar output to:
Systems : Monday Tuesday Wednesday System Total Outage Hours
1/1/07 1/2/07 1/3/07
APP1 0.00 2.50 0.00 2.5% 2.5
APP2 1.75 0.00 3.25 5% 5.0
APP3 2.00 0.00 1.00 96.5% 3.75
Where systems represent my applications and the dates can vary based on user input. So in this case they want to see outages between 1/1/07-1/3/07. I also need to display 0.00 if no outages occured on that date.
My table structure is as follows:
ID NUMBER
SYSTEMS VARCHAR2(1000)
START_DATE DATE
END_DATE DATE
TOTAL_HOURS NUMBER
Can anyone offer up any helpful solutions?

Quick Help for T-Shirt Design

I'm working on a fairly simple T Shirt design (family reunion). I have the full Adobe Suite in CS5. I'm assuming I need a transparent background (rather that white), so I'm working in Illustrator. I also assume vector will help with scaling for small kids and womens shirts. I'm having a hard time getting a black and white tree converted over to a transparent background in Illustrator. I don't really want to do a manual live trace since there is so much detail, and I'm assuming I should be able to do the black and white image to transparent background with one of the auto features.
I did get all the "outside" erased, but then I couldn't get all the white interior closed paths turned transparent. I've spent too much time researching and hoping someone can give me a quick answer. I did try to highlight closed paths and do Path->Divide Objects Below one-at-a-time, but I couldn't make it work effectively.
First, here is a basic black and white draft where I spent a few minutes to get family to like the idea...I used MS Pub to make it quickly. Saved as PDF for those that don't have MS Pub.
https://db.tt/Nu4xNNpp
Next, here is the AI file without the tree. (I'm going to make the small names in the circle transparent, but I haven't got to that yet. I did research how to do it.)
https://db.tt/BlamaL5S
Finally, here is the tree I would like to add to make it like the PDF above. (GIF Format)
https://db.tt/GXP3XIJw
If you are curious, this is as far as I got trying to turn the tree into a vector and then making it transparent background. Again, I assume this is best option for screen printing. (AI Format - after I worked on it)
https://db.tt/6WBXWVgB
Can someone please save me 8 more hours and tell me the easy way to add the stupid tree with transparent background? Thanks for the help. Getting very frustrated...

r,
Have you tried the setting Ignore White?
Have you expanded the Live Trace to be able to work with the paths?
Presuming the (interior) white areas form separate paths, what about Select>Same>Fill Color, then change to None?

I want to create a classic report which have some editable columns (text fields etc.). So after editing, with the help of a save button, user could save new values to db.
I made a search in web but can't find anything like this.
This is covered in the APEX documentation under the subject of tabular forms.They are a bad idea, especially for new APEX users.
