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.

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,
RodyI'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.

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

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
LEL0002053 SLEND DELIVER GBP 1000 02-AUG-05
LEL0002003 SLEND DELIVER KRN 1000 11-AUG-05
LEL0002001 SLEND DELIVER GBP 1000 08-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 lotI 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
LENDERA LE RECEIVE GBP 1000
LENDERA LE RECEIVE KRN 1000
LENDERA LE RECEIVE GBP 1200
LENDERA LE DELIVER USD 1000
LENDERA DELIVER USD 1000
LENDERA RECEIVE GBP 3200
LENDERA RECEIVE KRN 1000
LENDERB RECEIVE KRN 1000
LENDERB RECEIVE KRN 1000But which layout wizard should I use in REPORT ?

JRC (upg. to CR4E) - Report w Subreport - Oracle DB - Null Pointer Excepti
Hi
We have a Crystal Designer/Developer Version 11.5.10.1263. We develop reports using this.
Most of the reports have SQL Command mode design with JNDI/JDBC connection. It gets deployed with our Web application. And during runtime, when users access these reports from our web application, we typically use Java Reporting Component with Crystal Report Viewer SDK to open and display the report to the user.
Besides other issues, current problem I am having is:
I have a sub-report in my report. I am connecting to Oracle database. If this sub-report does not return any rows, I was getting a Null Pointer Exception. This seems to be a known bug. This happened to us when we had just the above mentioned components.
We recently upgraded just the JAR libraries to the ones packaged in CR4E (Crystal Reports For Eclipse) - initially to get more exporting capability.This upgrade gets us past the Null Pointer Exception issue.
Now, I am getting an error like "Unexpected database connector error". Please see the exception stack trace below if needed. Since we are a product and this display is specific to one out of about 100 different clients; with all the time we spent on making this report stuff work against this oracle DB client, we had finally ended up creating the display in JSP into our general product just for one of about 100 clients. Client must be the Lucky one...As a developer, I felt really frustrated.
One note:- SQL Server DB works perfect.
Other thing - Do we need to change any API calls after upgrading the JARS from standard JRC/Viewer to CR4E package?

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,
ChrisModerator message: you said your issue is solved but did not mark your discussion as such, please see
How to close a discussion and why -
We have started using Crystal Reports for all our reporting requirements in the FORTE applications accessing an Oracle database. For general reporting eg daily, monthly reports etc, we use Crystal INFO. This package uses the Crystal Report engine but also includes a scheduling and distribution component. No more writing report programs in COBOL for us and we do not intent to write any in Forte either!

Can I use Oracle Report Server to print from APEX? How?
Hello, we have Oracle Application server, Oracle Report server and now we just installed APEX and doing a pilot project. Since we don't have BI Publisher, how can we use our Oracle Report server to print from apex report? Can it be done and if yes where can I get some detail info that I can share with our DBA?
I have in past asked questions about the printing issues but I have been refered to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#01 section 5 which talks about another installation.
Thanks so very much for any info.
-iahmadiYou can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
Thank you,

J2EE - Reports using Business Objects.
Hi Friends,
We have a requirement to generate reports in our project using Business Objects v5.1.8.
Some users/Actors will have assess the reports through Webi of business objects and other requirement is to do some selection criteria in web page and once you get the right details, we should be able to generate report directly from web page (Calling .rpt file of Business objects), J2EE application calling business object report. (similar to calling PDF file in browser).
Did any body of you did similar thing and is it possible to do through business objects, I know we can do from crystal reports. Do we need any plug-in ?
I would be grateful, If you have sample code and willing to share.
Thank You
srikanthoh no, you have that as a requirement! :) well, have fun!! (the guy beside me develops our crystal reports stuff all day).

This is Guru. New bie to ABAP. One of my friend said as a fresher in ABAP programming i must first focus on <b>Reporting stuffs</b>. Can anyone say what are the types of reporting in ABAP programming ?
Thanks in advance,
Guru.Hi,

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,
SrujanHi,
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

Ways to activate debug log on JavaFX 8 / support for bug reports ?
Hello,
Since, there is to much time until next march, I've downloaded the JDK8 u 87 and started to play with JavaFX 8. Very nice things, but I am going into a lot of obscure bugs
* For example, when closing an application that does only CSS styling I keep getting this exception when closing the window:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sun.glass.ui.View.notifyRenderingEnd(View.java:352)
at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.PaintCollector.done(PaintCollector.java:308)
at com.sun.prism.render.RenderJob.run(RenderJob.java:75)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615)
at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumRenderer$PipelineRunnable.run(QuantumRenderer.java:129)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724)
This happens 15% of the time. The same story ( but different exception ) for a simple application for playing with sliders.
I would open some bugs but 2 things come to my mind:
* are there any ways to activate debug log so that developers see a bit more that just a stack trace?
* I saw on JavaFX 2 jira that you can't attach files to an issue, so basically how can I report stuff that prove things if I can't attach any file?

How to print report from print server ?
Hi all,
I need to print the report where the printer are shared by group of people which is located at server. I have put in the path in DESNAME = \\192.168.1.239\plc6 where \\{my printer ip address}\{printer name}
however, when I run the report, in the report viewer the printer name is still defaulted as what I have defaulted printer in my printer setup whereas the printer that I specific in the report which is located at server was not selected and again the report was printed out based on what my PC has been defaulted. My question it's anything wrong with my path ? why the report was not printed out based on the printer on the desname ?
Please advise. Thanks.
LimYou can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
Thank you,
