Tricky Report

Hi,
I've got a tricky reporting problem that I'm trying to work through. We have a monitoring database that I pull from to create a report. I have the report setup to show errors grouped by day in the week, then by an office. The problem however is that for each office, there are a number of monitors that show error durring a network outage, so the report shows multiple errors for one outage. Ideally we would only show one error durring the outage.
As this report adds total downtime for a certain period, I don't want to count multiple nodes if they are related to the same outage. The database has a field which indicates a parent node. Somehow I need to test each record, to see if it's parent id was also in error during the same time period. If the parent was in error during the same time period then I need to supress that record. If the parent wasn't in error in the same time period then I need to show the record.
I haven't come up with a good way to do this. I have found some functions previous & next which allow to check against the previous and next records....however the parent may be several records a away. The only solution that I can think of is to use an array. Somehow I need to create an array of all of the records, then for each record compare and see if the parent_id is also in error. This is where I'm having problem.
So the real question.....
Does anyone know how I can use a while loop, to loop through the records in the report so that I can load an array? Or if anyone else has a differen't idea to a solution with the problem that would be great also.
thanks,
Rody

I'm a little dismayed that the activity level appears to be a bit dead. I have tried to answer other questions posted in this forum, (if I didn't answer it's because i have no clue on how to help.)
Anyways if you have idea's for the above situation please respond.
thanks

Self Joining and Inline Query. A tricky report.

I am stuck with a very tricky situation.Please help.This is PROD issue.
I have written a SQL code which has 1 inline queries,and displays the right results
with the right report output
Dont get confused.Just go thru this.
select   pie.id_inst_code,
         ISNULL(PN.Active, 0)                 'Active',
from position_master_input_event pie,
(select insx.id_inst_xref_type,insx.id_inst_xref,count(*) 'PrimaryListing'
from instrument ins, instrument_xref insx
where ins.id_inst = insx.id_inst
and   insx.flg_active = 'Y'
and   ins.flg_active = 'Y'
group by insx.id_inst_xref_type,insx.id_inst_xref
)PN
where     id_entity = 'AGL'
and       pie.id_inst_code *= PN.id_inst_xref
and       pie.id_src_inst_code_type*= PN.id_inst_xref_type
group by pie.id_inst_code,PN.Active,
Table :Instrument_xref
id_inst      id_inst_xref_type    id_inst_xref flg_active
0372285      SE                   B0DV8Y9       Y
0372285      IS                   GB00B03MLX29 Y
Table :Instrument
id_inst      id_inst_xref_type    id_inst_xref flg_active flg_primary_listing
0372285      SE                   B0DV8Y9       Y           N
OUTPUT:
id_inst_xref                      Active
B0DV8Y9                           1
PERFECT.Works fine
2) Now comes the tricky part.:
    0372285 also has GB00B03MLX29 which has flg_active to Y and which also maps to 0372285.
    Am I right?
    New reportOutput
    id_inst_xref                      Active   PRIMARY ISIN
    B0DV8Y9                           1        1
    So,now I want a SELF JOIN this way built into the code:
    (hardcoded values work)
    (i)
    select a.id_inst_xref
    from instrument_xref a,
         instrument_xref b
    where b.id_inst_xref ='B0DV8Y9'
    and   b.id_inst = a.id_inst
    and   b.id_inst_xref_type in ('SE','IS')
    and   a.id_inst_xref = 'GB00B03MLX29'
    (ii)
     select count(*) 'PrimaryISIN'
     from instrument ins,
         instrument_xref insx
     where ins.id_inst = insx.id_inst
     and   insx.flg_active = 'Y'
     and   ins.flg_primary_listing = 'Y'
     and   ins.flg_active = 'Y'
     And now LINKING ALL :
    select   pie.id_inst_code,
         ISNULL(PN.Active, 0)                 'Active',
    from position_master_input_event pie,
    (select insx.id_inst_xref_type,insx.id_inst_xref,count(*) 'PrimaryListing'
     from instrument ins, instrument_xref insx
     where ins.id_inst = insx.id_inst
     and   insx.flg_active = 'Y'
     and   ins.flg_active = 'Y'
     group by insx.id_inst_xref_type,insx.id_inst_xref
    )PN,
    (select count(*) 'PrimaryISIN'
     from instrument ins,
         instrument_xref insx
     where ins.id_inst = insx.id_inst
     and   insx.flg_active = 'Y'
     and   ins.flg_primary_listing = 'Y'
     and   ins.flg_active = 'Y'
      and     insx.id_inst_xref = (
                                       select DISTINCT a.id_inst_xref
                                        from    instrument_xref a,
                                        instrument_xref b
                                  where b.id_inst_xref = 'B0DV8Y9'
                                      and     b.id_inst = a.id_inst
                                      and     b.id_inst_xref_type in ('SE','IS')
                                   and    a.id_inst_xref = 'GB00B03MLX29'
    where     id_entity = 'AGL'
    and       pie.id_inst_code *= PN.id_inst_xref
    and       pie.id_src_inst_code_type*= PN.id_inst_xref_type
    group by pie.id_inst_code,PN.Active,
    THE Self join works fine as long as it is hardcoded.
    But assume there can br multiple such situations as the above,and I dont want to
    hardcode the values,how can I build the NEW REPORT by SELF JOINING.
    Please can someome help.This is a tricky one.
    Is there a better way to this

Isn't this the same question as:
Passing values dynamically Froman 'INLINE Query' to a 'SUB QUERY'
and

Tricky Report for Sub totalling. Please See

Hi,
First of all this is a repeated question and I thank
all of you (cartena,petpandian,FS and the lot) who have
sent in replies.
I need to create a report in 9i
This is the table data :
TRANS_ID   ACC_ID DEL        CCY        AMT TRADE_DAT LENDER
LEL0002045 SLEND RECEIVE    GBP       1200 02-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002053 SLEND DELIVER    GBP       1000 02-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002003 SLEND DELIVER    KRN       1000 11-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002001 SLEND DELIVER    GBP       1000 08-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002002 SLEND DELIVER    USD       1000 09-AUG-05 LENDERAThis is the Report Format I want :
TRANS_ID   ACC_ID DEL        CCY        AMT TRADE_DAT LENDER
LENDERA
LEL0002045 SLEND RECEIVE    GBP       1200 02-AUG-05

LEL0002002 SLEND DELIVER    USD       1000 09-AUG-05
                  RECEIVE    GBP       1200
                  DELIVER    GBP       2000
                  DELIVER    USD       1000
                  DELIVER    KRN       1000You can get multiple CCY with 'RECEIVE' or 'DELIVER' for a particular
lender
There can be a CCY with 'YEN' for LENDERA with DEL as 'DELIVER'
I have used layout style 'GROUP LEFT' while creating the report (thru Report wizard)
In group fields, I specified
LENDER as (Level -1)
DEL as (Level -2)
CCY as (Level -3)
And in Sum fields
Give sum(Amt).
The SQL Query I am using in the SQL is
SELECT trans_id, acc_id, del,ccy,amt,trade_date,lender,
       decode(DEL,'RECEIVE', AMT,0) as REC_AMT,
       decode(DEL,'DELIVER', AMT,0) as DEL_AMT
from TableAThe output comes this way using GROUP LEFT layout:
LENDERA    RECEIVE       GBP    LEL0002045      1200
                                Total           1200
           DELIVER       GBP    LEL0002053      1000
                                LEL0002001      1000
                                Total           2000
           .... Can anyone suggest a better altenative? Thanks a lot

I have got the SQL running if I run this from the SQL prompt and it gives me the correct result (Thanks a lot cartena for the grouping SQL)
But now, if I run this same SQL in report wizard, the output is not correct
If I run this in SQL :
Select lender,
            trans_id,
            del,
           ccy,
           sum(amt) as amt from TestReport
   group by grouping sets ((lender, trans_id, del, ccy),(lender, del, ccy))
   order by
   lender, trans_id, del, ccy
   Output:
LENDER                                   del             ccy                     AMT
LENDERA                        LE     RECEIVE   GBP             1000

Tricky Reports Stuff...

I'm having a technical issue with Reports. We run Forms 6.0 (not i) and Reports 6, and we are trying to dynamically insert conditional statements into the report. Conditional statements will be stored in a DB table. The client has mandated the conditional statements will contain verying type styles and properties of text (some bold, some underline, some italics, some different type face).
Report looks something like this:
Statement 1. blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah.
Conditions:
1. You MUST (in bold) NOT (Bold and Underline) operate during the day.
2. At no time can ANYONE (Bold) blah blah blah.
Depending on some criteria, the conditions may not need to be inserted into the report. There may be one or more conditions (or no conditions at all).
We tried building the report and condition statements in RTF, however RTF doesn't seem to restore from the DB and insert into the report and retain its formatting. I was told to use OLD (install Word), but there has to be a cleaner way to provide the functionality. Next to try is HTML and saving the condition statements as an HTML string. Are there any tricks to storing HTML in a DB table, or inserting HTML into a report?
Report output format doesn't matter as no matter what it is, we will be converting it to PDF.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have two Western Digital external HDs with nearly exactly these specs.
Partitioned them with GUID partition scheme and have Partition 1 as bootable OSX clone and partition 2 with FAT32 for file storage/sharing between OSX and Windows.
So, what you want is what I have/use right now.

Creating a "bunched" report (intercompany)

Hi Gurus,
I have a tricky report requirement that can be achieved using multiple reports but that is not ideal and will make it difficult to maintain.
The report is an intercompany report with Entity, Interco member and Account in the rows. The report needs to have Entity on the outside with each intercompany partner listed and then a subtotal for each intercompany member and then each entity member. Within each intercompany member, a "group" of accounts needs to be shown (intercompany account groups). Finally, a subtotal for the total of an account group needs to be shown beneath all the entities and intercompany, then this is repeated for a new account group, as follows:
Is this possible with one report? I'm open to using VBA or any other tricks to turn this into one report. The current problem is that the Entity and intercompany need sorting, but if they are sorted then the accounts will not be bunched together as shown above.
Appreciate any help or advice on this.
Best,
Chris

Issue with Standard report RPLICO10

If the standard report RPLICO10 is copied to to a Custom Program.
Because this program uses LDB, we are not able to print multiple records for a single PERNR on the ALV Report.
Jus wanted to confirm can we try to print multiple records for single PERNR?
( Eg : 0006 infotype has subtype 1 and subtype 2 records )
I tried to change the code for such infotypes ( Multiple subtype records ), the program is dumping.
Can someone suggegst a solution for this.
Regards,
Srujan

Hi,
RPLICO10 is a tricky report but by far one of the best report fo someone who want to take a look into Dynamic Programming in HR.
For handling such type you have to add them as separaate entities in FIELD SELECTION tab and then write the code for them accordingly in the report, create field catalog for them also.
If you want to go like any other standard one it will require a complete change in the report logic and also reduce the performance of the report.

Amit

Reg: Please share... [OFF TOPIC]

Hi Experts/Gurus,
Please share any of the toughest challenge(s) you faced in your long (Oracle) career.
Like some time back I saw a discussion between some biggies (Guru & ACEs) regarding the Y2K problem. They said about the server room, New year eve and the problems they faced. It was really nice and great inspiration for new folks like me. :-)
I know this is going very off-track, but just for a break.
This 'll also surely act as an inspiration for juniors like us. We would love to hear some interesting/tricky/innovative problems from your experiences.
Looking for an active participation. Frank, could please start this. ;-)
Thanks!!
Ranit B.

I'm sure most, if not all of us herethat have been around for a while, would have lots of war stories about someone or something blowing up the database and the trials and tribulations of getting it put back together properly. Many of us would also have lots of stories about that really tricky report/ETL job and all of the tricks we used to get it to work correctly and fast enough. However, for me the biggest challenges I face regularly have to do with the types of things that come up on this forum every day.
Basic things like not understanding correct datatype, dates are a real biggie here but storing/passing numbers as strings is right up there, and relying on implicit type conversions. Developers who do not think in sets and resort to cursors and row by row processing for (almost) every task. Misusing dynamic sql when it is not required, personally I rarely use execute immediate in my code, and when I do it is almost always for set up/re-set type activities in ETL code like truncating a staging table or disabling constraints/indexes prior to a data load.
These types of things can have an impact on performance, not only for the particular task that the piece of code is designed to accomplish, but quite possibly database wide. Flooding the shared pool with hundreds of copies of a sql statement that differ only by the literals used in a predicate (or worse as one app I dealt with only in literals in the projection) is detrimental to the health of the whole database, and when the app has hundreds of sql statements it gets reall bad for the well behaved developers inthe database.
Worse than the performance impact is the subtle bugs these types of things can introduce in the code. How many questions on this forum essentially boil down to "I put data in my table now when I try to query for a date range I get no rows, but I know I put it in" and the answer comes down to at some point in the process inserting the data or querying the data someone relied on an implicit string to date conversion and the date in the table (or perhaps the predicate) is actually 19 something or 00 something instead of the expected 20 something.
I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent debugging other people's code (usually after the data has been well and truly corrupted) asking how did that value get in that column because (so I'm told) it's impossible for that to happen. In the vast majority of the cases it is due to implicit data conversions.
Inspiring stories are all well and good, but if you are looking for inspiration to become a better developer/DBA look at the mindset of the people like Frank, Blushadow, Solomon and Billy that allow them to see the set-based solution to a problem (there is almost always one), to see the "correct" data types to use etc. And, to paraphrase Billy, programming is programming, basic good practices are the same in any language, so look at well-written code in other languages, not just PL/SQL.
But, if you want in inspiring story for a "junior", here is mine.
We had a very trick bit of ETL code that involved joining 5 or 6 tables. Complicating matters, because of the nature of the source system, one of the tables had to be pivotted, one had to be unpivotted and we needed a top-n query for one of the others. At the time, we were using 10 something, so no PIVOT/UNPIVOT, so I wrote a several hundred line query with
sub-queries over sub-queries, analytic functions and hierarchical queries. This produced correct results, and the run-time was more than adequate (about 3 minutes for 6.5 million rows as an insert append). I gave that query to one of our junior developers for integration into the ETL package we were creating. She looked at that monster and said "Huh?". I told her, as I tell everyone, break it down into pieces, run each of the bits alone to see what they do then build it back up again to see how it all fits together.
The next day, she came back to me and said "I spent a lot of time playing with your query, and I think I understand how it works. If I do understand, then I think this is an equivalent query, can you check it for me?" What she gave me was a fifty or so line query with two sub-queries, no analytics and no hierarchical queries. At first glance, it could not possibly work, but I checked it anyway and much to my surprise it was correct (and faster than mine). Sometimes, knowing too many tricks is not a good thing :-)

Bex Query - How to capture characteristic value and set it as filter value?

Dear Experts,
I would like to create a tricky report that listed sales quantity by companis. Companies consists of production plant as well as trading company.
Company / Sales Quantity / Sales Quantity 2 (which produced by Company itself)
A            / 100                  / 50                     (50 was produced by company A)
B            / 80                   / 0                      (this is a trading company)
C            / 150                  / 150                   (All are produced by company C)
First I thought of using variable to capture Company value and then under Sales Quantity 2 I set producing company = this variable. But this only works if I filter company values. Any workaround idea that I can get the above with all the listing of companies?
Any assistance would be great! Thanks!

Hi,
Have you tried elimination of Internal business Volume?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw32/helpdata/en/d5/784d3c596f0b26e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Impliment this solution by adding another KF Sales qty2. with ref. to Sales qty.
In characteristic pair you can have Company and Production Company(navigational attribute).
By implimenting this solution the system will eliminate if the quantity is produced by the company it self. You can create CKF in query to get the result you need.

Tricky problem in Bex report

Hi, experts,
    In our Bex reports, If I set the figure format(scaling and decimal) with "change query (local view ..)", then customized layout(add drill down, keep filter ..). It's works fine.
    But, If I do customized layout firstly, then go to "change query (local view ..)", the format change can not work any more It's so strange, just cause different sequence.
    Some end user will follow wrong sequence, how can I explain this. is it bug in BW?
Thanks in advance.

my Version is: 3.50   patch level 3020.10.618
For example,
column is Act, Plan
Row is company
free characteristic is profit center.
if you position on "ACT" and right click mouse and select "filter and drilldown according to" -- "Profit center"
then open the "change query (local view)" , you will see Act located on "free characteristic". in this case, I can not set the scaling factor for "ACT"

A tricky question: how to automatically product a HTML version report?

Greetings:
I have to tackle with an issue in one of our Apex apps: send a report to users in HTML format at every night.
The rationale behind this is that, the report takes fairly long time to be generated. We don't wanna the user go to the app and wait for 30 minutes to get the report. Instead, we want to generate the report to be a HTML (table) and attach it in an email which is automatically sent to the users.
My issue are:
1) I couldn't find any way to automatically generate the HTML of a report page, so I used the UTL_HTTP in a page process to get the source of that page, and store it into a clob table. However, that means the page has to be there to be "extracted". As the consequence, the app has to be there 24 hours to run the report, and the page process to get the HTML source at the specific time.
2) I used the META tag to refresh the page to get it automated, which is really lousy.
Is there better solutions to solve the issues?
Thanks in advance.

Luc,
Can you give an outline of the sort of report you create? It might help to shape some of the suggestions as to a good way to improve the speed etc.

Hi,
As Karthick said, the Presentation Layer is the best place to handle formatting like this.
For example, in SQL*Plus you can use the BREAK command:
BREAK     ON cp_code NODUPLICATES     ON cp_des NODUPLICATES     ON part_no NODUPLICATES
SELECT       *
FROM       t
ORDER BY cp_code
,       cp_des
,       part_no
,       list_price
;Output:
CP_CO CP_DES         PART_NO LIST_PR
61527 RELEASE SWITCH 88967095 1800
                              909
                     89018180 4071.53
                              5755.25
                     TEST1    100If you want the rows in the order in which you posted them, just change the ORDER BY clause.
This site notmally won't display multiple spaces (or tabs) together.
When posting formatted text (like your output), type these 6 characters:
(all small letters, inside curly brackets) before and after formatted sections.

Print customized report on client printer

I'm evaluating HTMLDB as an option to some MS Access applications we have in place and I have to add I'm a new user with no experience on HTMLDB.
One of my applications basically generate a report to be printed on pre-printed forms. For what I've read the reporting capabilities of HTMLDB are very limited, so I'm not sure how we can implement this type of reports with HTMLDB.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

I'm evaluating HTMLDB as an option to some MS Access
applications we have in place and I have to add I'm a
new user with no experience on HTMLDB. HTML DB is a far superior development environment to MS Access. I did Access for quite a while and don't ever really want to look back. Although, I'm forced to sometimes. I think you'll really come to appreciate HTML DB pretty quickly.
One of my applications basically generate a report to
be printed on pre-printed forms. Printing to preprinted forms will get tricky. Basically, you're going to have to work with standard HTML constructs (generated by the Oracle server of course) to create your page output. I'm not saying it's impossible but it will be a significant challenge to line up your data output with preprinted forms. Especially given the variability of browsers.
Could be that someone has more experience with some other reporting (e.g. Oracle Reports) that could accomodate your need better than HTML DB page templates.
I'm sure everyone here would be interested to hear how your evaluation goes. Keep us posted. Good luck.

How to add A single row at the middle of the table in a Webi report

Hi,
I created a Webi report using Universe(Created universe using bex query).Now i have a requirement to display a row at the middle of a report. Can you please tell me ,how to add a sigle row at the middle of a Webi report.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Monika

Hi Monika,
It is not really possible to add a row (I assume you mean of unrelated data) to the middle of a table in a report. You can add a new table with a single row between two tables. For instance you could add a new one row table, or even single cells which are positioned relatively between two tables. Possibly a block on top of another. But this gets tricky.
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
Thanks

Reporting Services web service complex xml type report parameters

Hi,
I have the following xml type parameter in my request query that I use in reporting services.
<Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
<DefaultValue>
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>Sales</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
</DefaultValue>
I want to know how I can assign values to the accountDetails parameter from report parameters, I've tried to call it from the dataset parameter properties but it doesn't return any values. I created Parameters!accountDetails.Value on the dataset parameters
properties and assigned it the following value: it only returns empty columns
="<AccountDetailDto><AccountNumber>"& Parameters!AccountNumber.Value &"</AccountNumber><AccountType>"& Parameters!AccountType.Value &"</AccountType></AccountDetailDto>"
You're help will be highly appreciated as I've been trying to solve this for a while now

Hi Alisa,
Perhaps I should explain my problem clearly...
This is my query request that I send to the webservice:
<Query>
<Method Name="GetPerAccountAssetAllocation" Namespace="http://tempuri.org/">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
<DefaultValue>
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>JSE</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/IPortfolioManagementService/GetPerAccountAssetAllocation</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
It works well when I run it just like this, that is without specifying any parameters in the report data dialogue window or on the dataset parameters properties, it returns the values and columns correctly.
So my problem is, I need to find out how(xml parameter syntax, steps e.t.c)
I can do to allow users to specify the accountDetails parameter, its quite tricky for me coz its an xml type parameter, Im not sure if I should just specify the AccountNumber and
ReportType parameters separately:
I've tried the following without any success:
1. Under the dataset properties: I tried not to specify a default value for the accountDetails parameter on the xml query, then I added a parameter called "accountDetails" under the dataset parameters properties, then under parameter
value I added the following xml value :
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>Parameters!AccountNumber.Value</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>Parameters!AccountType.Value</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
(I also added the AccountNumber and AccountType parameters under the report data dialogue window)
This returns empty columns, is there something I'm missing, or am I doing this incorrectly?
