Sort on interactive Report fails

Hello all,
the sorting on a column is not working.
I have an interactive Report, but Sorting by click on an column Header doesn't work. The "waiting image" appears but nothing else.
Has anybody the same issue and may help me with a solution ?
thanks
Heinz

Hello Heinz,
I had the same issue and today I spent a while hiding all other regions on the page, removing all the conditions on the report display and I noticed that the Sort works just fine as soon as I removed the Request=Expression1 Condition.
So, maybe this helps.
Regards,
Andrea

Is it possible to sort an interactive report with a default column ?

Hi,
I have a nice request used with an interactive report.
select "ID",
"DATE_CREATION",
"SERVICE",
"RESPONSABLE",
"NATURE_CONTRAT",
"SOCIETE",
"DATE_DEBUT",
"DATE_FIN",
"DELAI_RENOUVELLEMENT"
from "#OWNER#"."CONTRATS_MAINTENANCE"
order by DATE_FIN descUnfortunately, the interactive report does not displays using the order into the SLQ query.
I tried to de select the "sort" option of each other columns into the Column attributes Section, but without any improvement. If I remove the order statement from the SQL query, nothing changes in the order.
Do you have an idea on how to display the lines in the order of the sql query ?
Thank you for your knid answers !
Chrstian

Christian,
This can be a little tricky at first. Try this:
1. Remove the order by clause from the query.
2. Log out of the application, not the builder, just the application.
3. Log back in and try using the options in the interactive report to sort the information.
Does it work? If so:
4. Get the order the way you would like it as the default. Note: you get more sort options if you use the Action Menu (grind wheel) and selecting Sort over just clicking the column headers.
5. Save the report by selecting the Save Report option from the Action Menu. If you see a drop down, save the report as the "default".
6. Log out of the application again and back in.
Does it work?

Alternate sort in interactive report

Hi,
I have several interactive reports where I need to enable sort on a column where the sort order is "custom" (I mean, not alphabetical nor numeric).
In other words, I want to display one column, but sort using another one when I select a sort icon (asc or desc) on displayed column header.
I'm pretty much sure there is no out-of-the-box solution to this, but any idea would be appreciated.
I created a trigger on WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS to replace any sort on my display column with my sort column. It worked but I had lots of side effects as sort icon not displayed at the end of the column header for example.
Thanks to share any idea you could have!

Not the same as you imagine, but without any APEX-Tricks you could simply name your values a little different. THis could also be done in the query.
e.g.
select t.t_name, p.p_sort||'-'||p.p_display priority
from task t, priority p
where t.t_priority = p.p_sortI would always avoid doing stuff in the background, where the users might not understand directly, why it is the case.
So you could also help the users to understand the correct sorting by choosing appropriate report column names
select t.t_name, t.t_priority as priority, p.p_display priority_name
from task t, priority p
where t.t_priority = p.p_sortMost users will understand the difference when they sort by one or by the other column. And of cause the "better" sort order could be stored as default report settings.

Can i have more than 6 columns to sort in interactive reports in apex 4.1?

As of now on clicking on Actions->format->sort only a select list with six columns is displayed in an interactive report . Is there any possibility to add more number of columns in this ? Can anyone help?

Hey there. WELCOME to the world of Macintosh. You are in for a great ride with this machine and platform.
Some good news for you regarding cameras. The neat thing about iPhoto, and indeed, the Mac, is that there is no setup required for hooking your camera to iPhoto. In fact, ANY camera you plug into the Macintosh that it recognizes will automatically work with iPhoto!
I regularly use three different cameras with my iPhoto application. As soon as I plug into the USB port and power on my camera, the Mac figures out that it needs to start up iPhoto. iPhoto figures out how to talk to the camera, and gives me the option to import pictures from the memory card... no configuration, no extra software to install. I do this with a Canon camera, and two different Sony models.
It's painless!

Download Interactive Report fails with ORA-06502

I am using:-
Apex version 4.2.1.00.08
Oracle DB 11.2
Apex Listener
I.E. 8
I have created an interactive report and when I download the report to CSV I get ORA-06502. My report contains over 100 columns some of which are blobs so I am hitting the old 32k limit. Does anyone have a work round for this problem. The ability to download data is a key feature of my application and this really is a show stopper form me.
Regards...

The queries are not executed in parallel but in serial. So the total execution time configured will be for all the Select statements in the report combined.
As for your second question, since the execution is not parallel hence BO will not initiate any error message until the total execution time exceeds the defined limit. This could be during the execution of first select statement or the second.
Try executing the queries directly in database one by one and see how much time they are taking.

Retrieving sort and filter criteria for interactive report

I have developed a test management system in APEX. Users log in and see an interactive report with their assignments. Each test they've been assigned occupies one row.
There is an "Execute" link for each row that takes the user to the test execution page, where they can see the input steps / expected results and report the test passing or failing.
I've implemented "Next >" and "< Previous" buttons on the execution page, so the user can immediately go forwards or backwards in his assigned tests without having to return to the assignments page and click the Execute link on the next or previous row.
The test execution page figures out what the next and previous assigned test is using the LAG and LEAD functions, like this:
lag(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) prev_id,
lead(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) next_id
Notice that I've "hardcoded" the over clause to be the reference number of the test.
The problem here - this solution ignores any custom sorts or filters the user has put in place on the assignments (interactive) report.
Is there a way I can "grab" the interactive report (1) sort criteria and (2) filter criteria dynamically? I'm thinking I could then use dynamic SQL to build an OVER clause used in the lag/lead calls so that the application now follows whatever sort and/or filter criteria the user has put in place.
Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!!

Thanks WTine!
I took a look and determined
- I can get the sort criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view (SORT_COLUMN_# and SORT_DIRECTION_# columns)
- I can get the filter criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND view

Question on Interactive Report feature sorting

Hi,
I have about over 10,000 records and used the interactive report feature on Apex. For some reason, on the timestamp column, I tried to resort in the latest date and it only shows the latest date of last year and didn't show the latest date of 2010. I tried changing the timestamp column to sort by descending, and it doesn't show any latest date in 2010, only 2009.
Could this be an issue with the interactive report issue.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
If you have default 10,000 row limit in interactive report , sorting work only for that record set.
Increase rows that report show, or you can use ORDER BY in report select to get e.g. 10,000 latest row.

Interactive Report wide Column Sorting hangs in Internet Explorer

I have an application that contains an interactive report. The Column Sorting and Filtering functions work fine in Firefox. However, if I try to sort a wide (110 byte - it contains a hyperlink) column in Internet Explorer, APEX produces the 'loading data' image and then hangs. Even a sort of a narrow (3 byte) column is noticeably slower in Internet Explorer than in Firefox.
We are running APEX 3.1.1 on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

Hello,
I answer you over your post.

You say the images disappear when you sort the report. Does it happen when you sort on demand in the dashboard or when you sort it in the report itself? Or both?Only when sort from the dashboard. From the report itself, the answers works fine.

Sorting Interactive Report results in no data found message

Hi,
I've got an interactive report which returns results based on the :REQUEST bind variable - I've got a navigation list at the side where all the items link to the current page with different Request values. The IR works fine until I try to sort any of the columns by clicking the header and choosing ascending / descending, at which point it returns no data found.
It starts working again if I change the last line to OR :REQUEST IS NOT NULL but this breaks the functionality of the report, I want to return only the selected statuses, or all if no request variable is present. I'm guessing that sorting sets :REQUEST to something temporarily and breaks it. My query is below, any ideas?
SELECT   id,
         job_number,
         appt_start,
         domain,
         pwa,
         status,
         tstamp_created
FROM   fail_jobs
WHERE (status = 'NEW' AND userid_created != 'SYSTEM' AND :REQUEST = 'ARD')
     OR (status = 'ATR' AND :REQUEST = 'ATR')
     OR (status IN ('ERR','REV') AND :REQUEST = 'REV')
     OR (status = 'COM' AND :REQUEST = 'COM')
     OR (status IN ('PCD','PCA') AND :REQUEST = 'PCD')
     OR :REQUEST IS NULLThanks

There are known issues with Interactive Reports referencing :REQUEST value, probably due to some inner logic that also handles it simultaneously - potentially causing malfunction or deadlocks.
One workaround I've learned is to create a computation to assign :REQUEST to a temporary item (a PXX_REQUEST, for instance) and reference it in the query, instead of :REQUEST. This has worked fine for me in my experience.
Let me know if that helps - pls sign the thread as 'Useful' or 'Correct' if so, hence more people can benefit.

How to sort a average in the interactive report

I have a interactive report. The columns are candidate_name, reviewer_name, score.
each reviewer will have a score for a candidate. There are many candidates. My boss wants to know which candidate get the highest average score. I build an interactive report.
I can average the score for each candidate_name and break with this column. I don't know if we can sort the average score for each candidate_name column. If we can, how to do this.
Thanks a lot!

Not sure if you got an answer for this, but the only way I know how to do it would be to use an analytic function on the query so that the average of the scores is listed as a column. When you have that, then you can sort by it. As of ApEx 3.2.1, you will not be able to create this new column using the interactive reports "Compute" feature. You'll need to build it into the SQL.

Sort order in an interactive report

In APEX 4.1 I am trying to create an interactive report based on a table that's similar to the following:
id - number
colA - varchar2
colB - varchar2
colC - date
colD - varchar2
In the IR, I'd like to have break on column A so that the report displays as follows:
colA
id, colb, colB, colC, colD
I want the sort order for column A to be based on the ID column, but I find that APEX displays it in alpha order based on the value for column A. I could include the value for ID in the break, but since it only has meaning inside the database, it leads to confusion among the users. I read some other posts where people have included the ID field and then used javascript to hide it in the report. I was wondering if there might be an alternative solution.

AT USER-COMMAND.
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'BACK'.
IF SY-LSIND = 5.
SY-LSIND = 1.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
YOU CAN ASSIGN THE VALUE FOR SY-LSIND .

Interactive report sort text as number

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible in an Apex interactive report to sort text as number?
For example, a series of text rows:
4
10
2
would sort as:
10
2
4
if it were text. What I would like to see is:
2
4
10
How could this be done?
Thanks.

If your column contains numbers only, you could use TO_NUMBER (column_name) column_name to convert it to a numeric value and it will sort it properly.

Implementing Interactive Reports Sorts in Report Query

My users love how the Interactive Reports work, especially being able to choose their sort fields. I have an Report Query that can use multiple sorts and many sort fields (chose from APEX page). Is it possible to implement this type of thing in the Report Query (without using decodes or dynamic SQL).
I looked at the code being executed by Interactive Reports and can see the order by changing
select
null as apxws_row_pk,
"CODE",
"CITY_NAME",
"STATE_CODE",
"PK_ID",
count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select "PK_ID",
"CODE",
"CITY_NAME",
"STATE_CODE"
from "#OWNER#"."ZIP"
) r
) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)
order by "CODE"

Ben, Not sure I follow.
I'm passing in the column names of the order by's from my APEX page to the DB function. Right now I'm doing a huge case statement for each one.
FUNCTION get_student_demographic (l_user in varchar2,
l_owner in varchar2,
l_report_order1 in varchar2,
l_report_order2 in varchar2,
l_report_order3 in varchar2,
l_report_order4 in varchar2,
SELECT (CASE l_report_order1
WHEN '%null%' THEN ''
WHEN 'LAST_NAME' THEN A.LAST_NAME
WHEN 'FIRST_NAME' THEN A.FIRST_NAME
..... many more
ELSE ''
END ) report_order1,

How to Prevent Sorting on Hyperion Interactive Reporting ?

Dear All ,
I am having an outline in specific order , When I make the OLAP query to use my Alias table in Hyperion Interactive reporting ,
The data retrieved in a sorted way for the outline but sorting alias
So how to stop sorting ? and how to make retrieve 2 columns near each other ; one for members name and its corresponding Alias

add a stage covering rectangle to the lowest layer of your external swf and make sure the stage sizes of the loading and loaded swf are the same. convert that shape to a movieclip and assign an instance name (eg, bg_mc). in the actions panel, you can use:
bg_mc._alpha=0;
bg_mc.onRelease=function(){
bg_mc.useHandCursor=false;
