Style PDF Customer Report

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way to style the PDF export of the customer report. Right now, columns run into each other and the last column is cut off - an issue that could be alleviated by reducing font size/styling appropriately.
Is there an easy method to generate a nice-looking report for printing?

Thanks, Liam.
Do you mean you can't?
The report is pretty useless as it is - illegible and difficult to use.

Customized Reports - Graphics / Calendar Style

Hi,
I'm a project scheduler,
experienced with P5 & P6. I'm currently using
Primavera P6.1. I haven't done much report writing, and I
am currently tasked with creating two customized reports.
<strong>GRAPHICS ON
REPORTS?</strong>
One of the reports is
an overall look at a project, so it would include the
project start/finish and project level user defined field
values. The UDFs are indicators. I want the report to show
the graphic value of the indicator, but I'm not sure how
to make P6 report editor give that. It seems to only be
able to give the text value ("green"). Is there a way to
make the report choose a graphic based on the value of the
UDF or code?
<strong>CALENDAR
REPORT?</strong>
I know a lot of people
want to create a report that is essentially a lookahead,
but on a calendar layout. I've asked Primavera if this is
possible but they referred me to the PARs. I contacted a
couple but haven't found a calendar report. So does
anybody have any suggestions for creating a calendar style
report? It would list each task that is either starting,
ongoing, or finishing on that particular day.<br
/>
All suggestions appreciated!<br
/>Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I
don't like the sound of that - exports for graphics.
Do you mean export all project data & then use it
in some other tool to create the report? Like build an
excel template to process csv data? :cringing:<br
/>
I'm using P6 Web and it's got nice
graphics but you can't create a full PDF printout of
all the data which is why I'm trying to build the
report.

Custom Report in PDF output, blurred after printing in concurrent

Hi,
We have a customized report which is the output is in PDF. We tried to print it in concurrent, but the output is blurred and not clear enough. The following are the setup made.

Please help.

If the issue with printing only, can you reproduce the issue with other printers? What if you print the out file using the lp command?

In custom report, is it possible to get value of field only? No style info?

I need to build the following string in the results of a custom report:
http://my.domain.org/myapp?A1=<#ORACLE.FIELD#>
but when I run my report as a portlet, I get this instead, which leads to a "Page not Found" -
http://my.domain.org/myapp?A1=<FONT CLASS=PortletText1><STYLEINFO PortletText1>ORACLE FIELD VALUE</STYLEINFO>
When running my custom report as a portlet, is there a way to get the value of the field only, without the style info?
Thanks for an help offered....

Custom Report Layout in APEX 3.0 PDF

How much freedom do we have when developing a custom report layout using BI Publisher when we create the template file using the Word XML add-on?
Why I am asking is, I am trying to replicate several Crystal based reports that use multiple lines of for data. They group on several columns and display the grouped data on separate lines in the report.
Grouping 1 Line one has customer detail information
Next grouping 1 or more lines are provider of service line information
Last Line count of detail lines for customer
Or would I be better off porting these reports to Oracle Reports?
Thank you!

Marc, I was able to create reports based on a layout and a report query...Is it possible to let the end user (not apex developers) download the report layout, make modifications and load it again. They will only be changing the text and very rarely will modify the fields..
Thanks

Signal 4 error encountered while running a customized report

Signal 4 error encountered while running a customized report
We are running Oracle Applications version 11.5.10 on Oracle RDBMS 9.2.0. and IBM AIX 5.3 o production system and AIX 5.2 on test machines. We have made a new clone of production database on test machine and after installation of a clone on test-machine all customized reports terminated with signal 4 error.
Can anybody tell the possible causes of signal 4 errors and their remidies ?

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

NAV 2013 R2; How to run a customized report (206 sales invoice) in the classic client

Hello, in preparing a newly installed NAV 2013 R2, I'm questioning the following:
In the Development Environment I have customized report 206 Sales - Invoice in the Design menu View Layout with the space of the logo (by Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder) and
finally saved and compiled.
When I do run it connects to the server of what I call the classic client or the real NAV 2013 R2 and I can select a posted sales invoice to show the new layout and the result is
fine as customized as I wanted.
When I later ordinary print one of the posted sales invoices this customized logo layout doesn't appear on the print. I print in PDF and paper. When I make a next new sales invoice
this new layout is not in use either.
Another thing is run print started from the Development Environment is called Sales - Invoice in the header and not just Invoice that it the name when printing when invoicing and
printing of posted documents.
Additionally this form of Sales - Invoice shows our company details and good information as web, e-mail, bank account and bank name that is well demanded on a perfect invoice.
How to get these informations out normally?
Is the classic client having a wrong report as sales invoice?
How to run a customized report (206 sales invoice) in the classic client NAV 2013 R2?
It is like the customized report (206 sales invoice) is not in use yet in the classic client.
All you wise people out there are welcomed to help me now
Best regards

Custom Report Template Issue

Hi,
I have a Custom Report Template, it is a Named Column(Row) Report that I have created. It seems I can get the look and feel I want on a per row basis. But when I try and convert it to be able to loop through for a specific type, like a break on the first column, it gets all messed up. I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light for me on this I have tried everything

Thanks for the input! Yeah it is based on a query from a collection as all this data is summations that i am pre-populating.
Yes this html is probably from 1998 or 1999 I think they told me actually lol
So there is no way to accomplish what I am trying to do then?
There is no way I could use a break on first column and modify the header info to get the same sort of look and feel?Still not really clear what you are trying to accomplish, and in my view there are so many problems with the "look and feel" that it's not worth perpetuating.
Making a lot of assumptions, I've come up with the kind of HTML structure I'd use when marking up this kind of data. I added a page 2 to your example on apex.oracle.com, showing a basic presentation of this structure alongside the original for comparison, and another styled using the default theme L&F.
<li>Given the requirement to use multi-level headers (and because I prefer to have total control over the HTML), I stayed with a custom report template rather than trying to utilise column breaking with a generic column report template. This also permits use of more advanced table structures than can be supported by standard templates, such as s<tt>colgroup</tt>s to organize the table columns as well as the rows:
Before Rows
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" #REPORT_ATTRIBUTES# id="report_#REGION_STATIC_ID#">
#TOP_PAGINATION#
<tr>
    <td>
      <table class="fish">
        <caption>Some fishy summaries</caption>
        <colgroup span="1"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="evaluation-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="other-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
After Rows
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
#PAGINATION#
</table><li>Rather than separate tables, the report is contained in one HTML table, utilizing the <tt>tbody</tt> element to subdivide this into separate row groups to meet the "break on first column" requirement. This is achieved using conditional row templates, with PL/SQL Expressions based on the values of metadata columns added to the query:
Row Template 1
Header rows and first data row for each row group. <tt>scope</tt> attributes are added to multi-column headers for improved accessibility:
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="9" scope="rowgroup">#C1#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th></th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">Evaluation Trips</th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">All Other Trips</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>#C2#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 1 Expression
This template is used when the row metadata shows that the current row is in a different row group from the previous row:
#ROW_GROUP# != #PREVIOUS_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 2
This is the "default" template, used for any subsequent data rows in the row group:
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#Both templates make use of a <tt>#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#</tt> column value conditionally generated in the query that returns a <tt></tbody></tt> tag if the current row is the last data row in the row group. (Mixing logic and structure in this way is not good practice, but APEX only allows up to 4 conditional row templates, which is completely insufficient for any moderately complex structure.)
<li>Several metadata columns (incorporating heavy use of analytic functions) are added to the report query for use in the report template or CSS presentation:
with fish as (
      select
                c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8, c9, c10, c11, c12, c13, c14, c15, c16
                  Generate a fixed order for separate report sections/row groups.

<li>Finally, the visual presentation is applied using CSS rather than (mainly deprecated) HTML attributes, via an embedded style sheet in the page HTML Header:
<style type="text/css">
.fish {
empty-cells: show;
border-collapse: collapse;
.fish tbody tr:first-child th {
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
font-weight: bold;
.fish th,
.fish td {
padding: 3px 6px;
.fish th {
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: #275096;
color: #fff;
font-weight: 300;
text-align: left;
.fish td {
text-align: right;
.fish tr.\30 td {
    background-color: #dde;
.fish td:first-child {
    text-align: left;
</style>The default theme L&F report adds vertical borders to separate columns and column groups (latter may not be fully effective on IE: I'm not wasting my time on quirks mode fixes for that).
The resulting report uses 60% less vertical space, and 87% less HTML code[1] than the original. Usability and accessibility are improved by eliminating nested tables and useless table cells and shim images, increasing the contrast between text and background colours, and using alternating row backgrounds for better visual tracking.
[1] Including whitespace, but neither template is compressed in any way: both are in fully readale format including normal whitespace indentation.

Custom Report - emsg was terminated by signal 11

Hi All,
We are in middle of upgrade. We are in testing the upgrade.
We have upgraded DB (9i to 10.2.0.4), techstack, jdevelopper patchset19, java and jre.
We now have a custom report that finishes with
Environment will now switch to UTF-8 code-set.
Parts of this log file may not display correctly
as a result. This is an expected behavior.
XML_REPORTS_XENVIRONMENT is :
$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon6/tk60/admin/Tk2Motif_UTF8.rgb
XENVIRONMENT is set to $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon6/tk60/admin/Tk2Motif_UTF8.rgb
Current NLS_LANG and NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS Environment Variables are :
CANADIAN FRENCH_AMERICA.UTF8
stat_low = B
stat_high = 0
emsg was terminated by signal 11When browsing Metalink, I came across this note: 428335.1. I could reproduce the problem by doing ar60runb from O/S. I then did strace as written in the doc.
From the trace created, I can see
munmap(0xb7fa5000, 4096) = 0
munmap(0xb7ee4000, 790528) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
As described in the doc, I did a search&find in the file for '0xb7ee4000'. I am not 100% if it is the same as in the note:
open($FND_TOP/resource/ALBANWTJ.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 13
fstat64(13, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=18472778, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fa5000
_llseek(13, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(13, "\0\1\0\0\0\24\1\0\0\4\0@EBDTg(\356\322\0\0\1L\0%\257:EBLC"..., 4096) = 4096
old_mmap(NULL, 790528, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7ee4000
Does this mean the error is coming from ALBANWTJ.ttf? In the note, it's a 'ttc' file.
Or I am looking at the wrong place and the error is actually something else?
Thank you,
Felix

Hi Felix,
What is the type of those reports? If PDF, did you verify the value of Tk2Motif*fontMapCs in Tk2Motif.rgb file?

Custom reporting for UCCX 7

Hello there,
I am looking for easier ways to generate custom reports for UCCX 7, I am asking incase I go away an spend heaps of time programming stored procedures and crytal reports if there is a report pack out there or some documentation to make it a bit easier.
Our call center team leader is asking for reports to be written for the system or modification of existing reports as the ones included are either too crowded with information or do not display what we actually want.
/* Style Definitions */
table.MsoNormalTable

As an example, there is a report called ‘Agent Not Ready Reason Code Summary Report’, this report lists some not ready codes such as 32756 etc.. (i.e. Pre-defined system codes), however we want to list our own not ready codes as well as remove some of the system ones from the report as we don’t really want them there.
Another example is the Agent state details report, one of the columns is 'Reason Code', this is fine, however it would be nice to have a summary at the end of the report for a total count of each not ready code (with the not ready code name not just the code).
Is there anyone out there who has written/customised reports for UCCX or know where I can find some more documentation? I have searched around but not found anything, Cisco TAC have said that they only deal with the connection of Crystal Reports to UCCX, the coding itself and help with regards to that you are basically on your own with.
Thanks

Hi
There are other ways of reporting, but you are still on your own with it unless you find someone who writes a package. I'm not aware of any...
Re your specific queries though:
‘Agent Not Ready Reason Code Summary Report’ - when running the report, you can go to the 'detailed' tab, and on that tab you can select 'Reason Code' as a filter and pick the codes you are interested in.
Also that same report shows the summary (i.e. totals) of the time in those reason codes doesn't it? So that's what you wanted to see on the other report?
Final point (and this is a common one that comes up) is that for some reason the 'reason' codes only appear as numbers in the DB. There are no lookup tables where you can link them to names for reporting. This basically means the best you can do is to edit the Crystal templates so that the static table listing the codes at the top of the report has the codes you have configured. Obviously this isn't dynamic, but it is easy as far as Crystal goes...
Hope this helps

Custom reports needed in excel format..12.0.6

Hi
we are on 12.0.6
All of our custom reports are defined with output format of pdf at the time of defining executable and program from sysadmin
Now there is a need by our costing department that they need all the finanical related reports in excel format
we tried converting the pdf to excel but format variation is too huge and to no use
how can we make it possible that reports come in excel format directly
there r seeded oracle reports, which when viewed after running, open in excel..they have output format defined as XML i guess
Please advice
