Storing User defined reports in SQL Developer

Hi All,
I have created some user defined reports in SQL Developer. My company requested me to update the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I forgot to export those reports. I got my machine back, they said that the data is retained. Now i need to take those reports back. Can anyone tell me in which folder would SQL Developer stores the User Defined Reports by default? My bad I dont remeber the Report Name too.
Can anyone help me on this?

Unifier Table name used for storing User-Defined Reports Information

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for the table name that stores all the User-Defined Reports information pertaining to report creation details. I want to create a dataview that will provides all the user-defined reports the system presently had on file.
Does anyone know about the system auto-created table name for User Defined Reports. It might start with "sys_"
Thanks

For custom reports, you can find them through data views - "sys_custom_report". I am wondering why UDR tables were not included.
The only effort left is manually copy pasting each name and information from Unifier on an Excel sheet. It will take a lot of time though. I will also log a SR meanwhile.
Thanks everyone for your help.

SQL Developer user defined reports (appropriate utilization)

I have used SQL developer on a limited basis but I have never created a user defined report. Can someone compare and contrast the
types of user defined reports that can be created via SQL developer versus the types of user defined reports that can be created via
a tool such as Crystal Reports or similar tool.

Hi user7753875 -
I agree with reidelme that it won't match the capabilities for fancy organisation/output of tools like Crystal Reports, but you can do interrelated parent/multiple child reports.
Check out the Reports tab on the SQL Developer Exchange for some examples of what other users have done with this.

Turns out no one has used that in a long time. You will have to do some interpretive cut/past from xml given by web site & report editor in SQL Developer. Here is the "Who" report (master+2 child reports) from the exchange in a format you can use the import function from "User Defined Reports" on.

SQL Developer 3.1 EA3 unable to import / export user defined reports

Hi gentlemen,
Name says it all. Import / Export do not appear anymore neither in dropdown menu for User Defined Reports, nor export for other reports (DD reports or shared reports).
Best Regards,
Olivier.

Those are now Save As / Open...
Hope that helps,

SQL field (not large enough) - Create Report Dialog - User Defined Reports

When creating a user defined report it would be good to have the sql field the query is entered into bigger. The tiny size is awkward for large queries.

When you increase the window size, we increase horizontally but not vertically. I will log an enhancement request to see if we can get it longer.

4.1EA2 User-Defined-Report strips CRLF when using PL/SQL DBMS Output

Hi,
I have a report with a child report.
That child report uses pl/sql to print to the screen. (dbms output)
When i use the procedure manually it prints fine.
When i copy this output to a text editor i can see the CRLF in there.
If i call the same procedure tru the reports section of SQLDeveloper the output is stripped of any CRLF characters.
This is causing it to be useless for me: i am using it to generate code and it all appears as one big line on the screen.
Copying this to a text editor indeed shows all CRLFs gone.
Is this intentional or a bug ?

Jeff,
Thnx for the answer.
I don't have a problem writing html in my code being a former webdeveloper with experience in apex as well.
The problem is that the option presents itself as a standard plsql dbmsoutput, which suggests identical output as a dbmsoutput pane in sqldeveloper.
From your answer i gather it really is supposed to do html formatting.
Your "solution" of inserting br tags would be fine if it weren't for the fact that when i do a copy of the output in this report pane sqldeveloper strips away the br tags but doesn't replace them with crlf's.
And since the crlfs that were in the output are also stripped in this result pane i get a single line of text when i copy over a page of text from the result pane into a normal texteditor.
As such it behaves differently then say a browser when i copy a page of text from the browser and paste it in a text editor. There i see the crlfs that were present in the original source.
Is there a listing somewhere that explains what tags are supported?
Or CSS ?
Does it support stuff like white-space: pre ?
I understand the usefullness of a html-aware plsql dbmsoutput output option in the reports list of a user-defined report.
However i would like to use this opportunity to advocate to include , as an extra option or tick box etc., an option to just display the output as the normal dbmsoutput pane displays it.
That is without extra formatting.
I like the idea of being able to click in the table section above and to have bottom pane generate the appropriate code as output.
That use-case can not happen right now since it formats as html (and not even the correct way) or, when going along with this route, strips everything to a single line of text when copying the data from the result pane.

PL/SQL in user defined reports

Is it possible to use PL/SQL in user defined reports? As far as I know, it isn't, but...
And one more question: can we do something like this in user defined reports:
' select * from :TABLE '
where
:TABLE is a bind variable?
Thanks in advance
Aliq

I want to create a parent-child report, which in simply version does three things:
parent
1. takes all the table names from user_tables
2. for each table_name (taken from user_tables) it takes a few rows from this table (selet A,B,C from table_name).
child
3. for each table name (from master) gives additional information from this table (select D,E,F from table_name)
And I wonder if it's possible.

Not able to edit user defined reports

Hi,
I've run into an issue recently with user defined reports. After some time, I'm not able to edit them. This only happens on some of them. Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks.

Hi,
The platform is Windows XP Pro (32 bit) sp3, sql developer 1.5.5 (although I've seen this happen on earlier versions as well). After some time, some reports become un-editable. If I right click on the report and click edit, nothing happens. I've also tried exporting and re-importing the reports, but that doesn't seem to help.
Also, I open it up via sqldeveloper.exe, but no console window come up.

[3.0.04] Delete user defined report folder

Hello Forum,
a few days ago, I got a new computer and exported my user defined reports from the old installation. After importing these into the new installation, all reports were put into an additional subfolder. Since I'm using german localization, the reports were put into "Benutzerdefinierte Berichte/Benutzerdefinierte Berichte". I could move them one folder up by cut and paste, but now I would like to delete the empty subfolder, but I don't have any menu options to do so.
Is there any way to get rid of that subfolder?
Many thanks in advance,
dhalek

Hi Binom,
Correct. In fact similar behavior reported in earlier posts such as...
Bug 2.1: Report folders are read only
1.5.5 Cannot add user defined report to folder
...resulted in the logging of an internal bug:
Bug 9231534 - FORUM:USER DEFINED REPORT FOLDER MISSING ACTIONS IN NON ENGLISH LOCALES
I updated it with a reference to this forum thread in order to give it a bump.

1.5.5 Cannot add user defined report to folder

Hello,
the context menu on folders in user defined report show only two options: copy and export. No way to add new folders or reports. I migrated my settings from 1.5.1.
Though I can add a new folder directly at the root of user defined reports. But then SQL Developer won't restart (using 100% of my dual core until I kill the process).
Running WIN XP JDK 1.6.10
Regards
Marcus

Hello Sue,
I already tried the current production version 2.1.0.63.73 and the problem is still there.
In addition I did yet another test without migrating the old reports, connections etc. by renaming the appropriate folder in C:\Documents and Settings\michael\Application Data.
Afterwards I imported my own reports.
However there was no chance to move or delete any sub folders containing my reports. I only could copy or export sub folders or delete single reports.
And after restarting sqldev the same behavior occurred on the new folders just created: Only export and copy are available accessing the context menu.
Any suggestions? Do I have to re-create every single report?
Regards,
Peter
Edited by: petmichael on Jan 15, 2010 12:27 PM
Today I found out that changing the language settings for sqldev to English by adding the appropriate settings in sqldeveloper.conf located in \...\sqldeveloper-2.1.0.63.73\sqldeveloper\bin (mentioned below) does solve the problem.
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
AddVMOption -Duser.country=US
AddVMOption -Duser.region=US
AddVMOption -Dfile.encoding=GBK
By deleting these additional settings the error is reproducible.
In addition with the English language settings the "Tip of the Day" appears running version 2.1.0.63.73 first time and it doesn't work that way without the additional settings mentioned above.
Hth everybody running in that feature!

2.1.1 Problem with User Defined Reports with actions on the context menu

I use the User Defined Reports quite a lot, and export and publish these to other members of the team as Shared Reports. I'm also quite disappointed that there seems to be no further development in this area of SQL Developer.
One of the totally undocumented features of User Defined Reports is the ability to attach actions to a context menu, and pass data from the grid to a procedure, for example. Copying, then exporting the sessions report (from All Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> Database Administration -> Sessions) exposes the XML for adding actions to the context menu. The snippet for killing a session looks like this:
<item reload="true" reloadparent="false" removeFromParent="false">
<title>Kill Session</title>
<prompt type="confirm" >
    <label>Kill Session?</label>
    <default><![CDATA[]]></default>
    <value><![CDATA[]]></value>
</prompt>
<sql><![CDATA[ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '#SID#, #SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE]]></sql>
<help>Kill the selected session.</help>
</item>So to add this type of functionality to your own user defined reports, you need to export the report, edit the XML, and import it again. It seems to work fine to add this to the master reports, but if you add an <item> element to the child reports, the context menu items appear on the master report too, and they are duplicated many times. I'm not sure if the action of exporting the report adds to the number of times the context menu appears.
Warning - if you edit a report using SQL Developer, all the <item> tags are removed. Once you've added actions to a context menu, you can only edit the report by exporting it, modifying the XML and importing it again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you found a work-around?
To the SQL Developer team: Are there any plans to allow the adding of user defined context menu items to reports using the GUI in the near future?

You're right the context menu needs a GUI desperately. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.
Regards,
K.

Best practice to share user defined reports?

What is the best practice to share user defined reports among team members?
Currently I can create a folder under the Reports/User Defined Reports system folder and any reports or subfolders under that can be exported into xml by right-clicking on the folder and selecting 'Save As'. Then sending the file over or put it on a shared point or check in to SVN, then the other team members can right click on the User Defined Reports system folder and chose "Open report..." and select the xml file.
Is there any more elegant way?
Is it a good idea to share the C:\Users\lgal\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\UserReports.xml on Windows, or ~/.sqldeveloper/UserReports.xml (on Linux) among users?
Is there a standard way to bring this under standard SVN control in SD?

I think the best thing would be if someone set up a config sharing site!
It would be very easy to do on system like drupal or e107. People could register and submit their configs to different download sections based on what sort of configs they are. My site runs e107 so it's not hard to see how easy it would be
It would be easy to set up - I could do it in about 30mins but I think I have done more than enough of that! There seems no need to officialize it to any degree and burden the server even more.
I guess user-cb could host it couldn't? If you restrict people to posting only small config files with no icons and link to big stuff offsite it should be tiny bandwidth usage.
That's what I would do anyway

Having trouble with variables followed by a period in user defined reports.

Using SQL Developer 1.0.0.15 on XP.
The DB is Oracle 10.
Having trouble with variables followed by a period in user defined reports.
select * from &OWNER.TABLE_NAME
I noticed that the "Data Dictionary Reports" use :OWNER
So I have tried all sort of variations:
select * from :OWNER.TABLE_NAME
select * from :OWNER\.TABLE_NAME
select * from ":OWNER".TABLE_NAME
select * from ':OWNER'.TABLE_NAME
select * from (:OWNER).TABLE_NAME
And every other variation I can think of. This is a simple example, but all my reports need the owner of tables as a variable.
I assume this is simple, I just have not hit the right combination.
Thanks -
Dyer

Use two points ..
select * from &OWNER..TABLE_NAME

Bind variables in User Defined Reports

SQL Developer 1.0.0.11 / Windows XP / Oracle 9.2.0.5
Thanks for adding the capability for bind variables in user defined reports. However, if there is more than one instance of the same bind variable in the report, the "Enter Bind Values" prompt lists all instances and requires the value be input for all instances. This is unlike the SQL worksheet which only lists the bind variable once. Please change the report behavior to prompt only once per unique bind variable.

Just spoke with the developer of this - you will be prompted for each instance of a bind. That will not change any time soon so I wanted to let you know -

Create statspack report using sql*developer

Hello,
While connecting with PERFSTAT user I can not create statspack report using SQL*Developer:
@?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Error starting at line 1 in command:
@?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Error report:
Unable to open file: "?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql"
Actually, my problem or question is that how can PERFSTAT user can generate statspack reports from a Client side. What is the other way a non-dba can see the snapshots histroy and generate report (by using perfstat user ) while joing tables or using views?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards

Hi,
for awr reports @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt (you need EE+Diagnostic Pack) there is a solution.
Grant execute dbms_workload_repository to <user>;
Grant select_catalog_role to <user>;
get all SNAP_IDs
SELECT   TO_CHAR(s.startup_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS') INSTART_FMT,
         di.instance_name INST_NAME,
         di.db_name DB_NAME,
         s.snap_id SNAP_ID,
         TO_CHAR(s.end_interval_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS') SNAPDAT,
         s.snap_level LVL
FROM    dba_hist_snapshot s,
         dba_hist_database_instance di
WHERE   di.dbid = s.dbid
         AND di.instance_number = s.instance_number
         AND Di.Startup_Time = S.Startup_Time
ORDER BY snap_id desc;
Select * From Table(Sys.Dbms_Workload_Repository.Awr_Report_Html(DBID, 1, BEGIN_SNAP_ID, END_SNAP_ID));
For statspack i don't know a solutuion. I think the best idea is, create a job to make the statspack report on the server side and access it via external tables or mail them forward to you.
Best regards
Thomas
