Trouble with Report Editor

I'm trying to create a simple report using a small real estate table with column names like City, OwnerName, AskingPrice, SalePrice, SquareFeet, BedRooms, etc.
At the bottom of the report, I want averages beneath the numeric fields.
When I "Run Paper Layout", the averages are all over the place and I can't move them into their correct positions in the Report Editor.
Is there some secret to working with the Report Editor?
It seems prohibitively awkward.
What am I missing?
Thank you one and all.

Hi Valentine,
I agree that the Layout Editor is a bit daunting for a newbie.
As your report is a simple tabular report, let me give you a brief explanation.....
Your columns (City, OwnerName, AskingPrice, etc) are being outputted into Field containers (F_City, F_OwnerName, etc).
All these fields are enclosed in a Frame (called a repeating frame) - meaning that they 'belong' or sit inside this repeating frame. Visually, the fields and the repeating frame are 'tightly' placed together. This frame will repeatedly output as many rows of data as your SQL will return.
In turn, this repeating frame 'belongs' to a group frame. The repeating frame and the group frame are also 'tightly' placed together.
If you have totals (sum, Averages, etc), these fields are outside of the group frame as described above. They are probably placed on another outer group frame.
By expanding the Layout model in the Object Navigator will give a better idea of what I am attempting to explain.
As they are objects residing within objects, an object cannot be easily moved outside its repeating frame or group frame. They are 'locked' in the frame for a good reason.
To be able to move a field object, there must be room for the object to be moved to. Therefore, the most outer group frame has to be expanded first (select and drag). Repeat this process with the other frames, etc.
Note that there is a Icon called 'Select Parent Frame' to help you to select the outer (Parent) frame.
Once you have the frames 'enlarged', you can move the fields around the frame. It is quite simple once you get the hang of it.
Of course, there are are many other complexities with the Editor, but that is another story.
Good Luck.
John

Having trouble with Layout Editor

Hi,
I'm using Oracle Forms Builder 6, with patch 18. Whenever I try to open the layout editor, I'm getting an error saying "Oracle Forms Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and the whole program closes. This happens no matter which application I work on, even on a new form. It seems that this is a known bug and fixed in patch 12, but probably not. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs more than 10 times now, but still not working, and it was working good till 2 days ago.
My system is Windows XP SP2, Dual core 1.86Ghz with 2GB memory.
Any help?
Thank you in advance.

> and it was working good till 2 days ago
What other software did you install 2 days ago?
Something has corrupted your system. If you have a System Restore point prior to the failure, I would try restoring to that point.
If that does not work, try to completely uninstall Forms and then re-install it.

Having trouble with report total row with expression based condition

Hi,
I have a simple SQL region that has 2 columns (country and pnl). I then had a request to display negative PNL in red. To do this I copied the Standard Alternating Row Colors report Template and changed the condition so that it uses one class (named "t16data") with a PL/SQL Expression condition NVL(#PNL#,0)<0
Then, in the referencing page HTML header I added :
<style>td.t16data{color:red} </style>
For normal data rows it works fine. However, I also have a sum on PNL and the total row always shows red (even when it's a positive number).
Any idea? Do I need to provide more information?
Thanks

My question about this is the other Dynamic VPN that is working has no static route.
I added:
route outside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.248 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the non working remote IKE Peer)
This had no effect.
Looking at the two tunnels. The working tunnel is using IKE IPSEC and the nonworking tunnel is using IKE IPsecOverNatT. What have I entered that tells the VPN to use IPsecOverNatT?

Trouble with Report Header

Hope this is the right forum, I am trying to build a custom report with a coverpage, the report is basically complete with one exception. The page footer section is causing a blank white area on the report header. The page footer has graphics and text objects in it which don't show up it's just blank. What's worse is it takes the items that it chopped out and dropped them onto the next page. WTF is happening here?

Alright, that's what I was looking for. So, if you don't want the Page Footer on the 1st page, follow Debi's advice on suppress it on Page1.
Here's how can do it though:
1) Go to the Section Expert (Report > Section Expert) and select Page Footer
2) Click on the x-2 formula icon beside the 'Suppress (No drill-down);
3) Type this formula:
Pagenumber = 1
This will suppress the Page Footer from appearing on Page 1.
-Hope this helps!

Trouble with Gradient editor - Photoshop Mac

Hi,
I can't for the life of me figure out how to manipulate the gradient added to a layer (a rounded rectangle) in photoshop CS5.
I open the gradient editor and try to manipulate the gradient colors with the controls, but when I save, nothing changes with the gradient color.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi MTSTuner! Thanks for helping me with all of this!
Eliminating the color overlay did not work. I have CS5, so my blending options window looks like this:
So there is no gradient editor accessible in the blending options. And clicking on the preview does not do anything either. When I close the blending options, I go the gradient editor on the top of photoshop:
I then double click on the big dark rectangle in the above picture to access the gradient editor. Then when I try to manipulate the black squares with the white diamonds (below) in the gradient editor to get the right gradient, nothing happens when I press ok:
How should I go about this? THanks again for your help.... it is badly needed!

OC4J: Troubles with characters in Reports 9i and JSP

We are having troubles with especial characters in OC4J. Those problems appear in JSP's and Reports.
Some information about it:
- the especial characters in spanish are replaced by strange characters (2 chars for every especial char).
- this happens with strings from ApplicationResources.properties (we use Struts framework) and NOT with those chars read from database via JDBC.
- the problem doesn't happen in JDeveloper. It happens when we deploy the application to iAS 9i R2. With reports, it happens both from RWBuilder and local OC4J + RWServlet
- When we used iAS R1 core version this didn't happen. When we changed to iAS R2 full installation (to be able to use Reports Server) it began to happen.
Any help about it ?
Thanks

Hi Pozo,
Have you got the solution for the problem specified. Even I'm facing the same problem with Arabic characters.
Pl. let me know if you've got the solution.
Thanks,
Vinod.

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

Trouble with Adobe Photoshop Editor

After installing both the Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, I am having trouble with the Photoshop Editor. The first time the program opened, no problem, after closing it, and returning later, that portion would not open. I have to shut down my computer, turn it back on to get the editor to open. If I leave and come back, same thing. The Organizer workis fine.

I'd ask which OS is the PC running. Sounds like the question I post where a subtask of Photoshop isn't closing properly under windows 8.
So when you re-launch is say ' dude your running, but your not. left in limbo. You need to manually close photoshop. Rebooting is the simpliest way my users like.
I've also created an icon on their desktop that issues a 'taskkill /f /FI "IMAGENAME EQ Photoshop*"

Trouble with query on Reports

Hi,
I am having trouble with a query which results from a join of 4 tables, of which, one table is shortened by grouping it along one column.
for example
A join B join C join (D grouped by D.S)
In MS Access I had used a separate query to represent this and done a join with the remaining tables to generate my report.
Any one has any idea about how this can be done using just one query, or any way I can store the sub-result elsewhere like in Access.
Thanks!

Not usre this is a reports issue, but:
I think you are trying to select from tables and queries in one.
IN your SQL statement try
SELECT data,etc
FROM
A,
B,
C
, (select distinct S from D) Q_D
where
A join B join C join Q_D
Note that I don't think you can use sub queries like this in Access

[SOLVED] [GNOME 3.10] Trouble with Nautilus

Hi there,
I am currently running arch on a 64bit machine with nvidia graphics drivers and so far did not have any trouble with the system. However, lately I do not get any kind of adressbar in Nautilus, although nautilus seems to respond the way it should.
E.g. I can't hit <CTRL+L> and enter a smb:// adress as I used to. This behavior just occurs on my desktop machine with Gnome 3.10; my notebook does not have these issues although I just updated to Gnome 3.10 there, too.
Anybody has any idea what might cause this weird behaviour?

Actually I found out, that this dude here has exactly the same problem, except that he talks about the "bottom" part of nautilus missing, but complains about the top missing as can be seen on his screenshots.

He also opened a bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710201
Editing the stuff in dconf-editor, everything works as expected now.

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

The trouble with 'expression' -- how to edit that

I just walked to the corner bodega ( even though its korean sooo bodega is misleading ).. to get some beer...
ITS BEER THIRTY -- yipee !
and on way back down the block where I live ( which is suburban ) some boy kid on a bike was riding and playing with a girl kid ( probably was his slightly older sister - these kids probably around 12 years old ) in front of a rental property with some spanish americans hanging out in their cemented yard on hammocks near bar b q...with their own kids...(they have planted another hopeful "veg garden" around the perimeter of their so called yard...tomato plants etc )...so anyway, the picture here is a "neighborhood" of sorts with a somewhat lower middle class family atmosphere in a fairly lower class area on the verge of becoming middle class ( with God's help ).
And anyway, I passed by the boy kid on the bike and smiled at him cause he seemed to be a decent kid having fun with his friend ( they were sorta laughing about something and having fun before I showed up as the big "adult" and looked at me ). His smile back was like sunshine and true and he immediately recognized he could keep having fun with his friend and I wasn't a "threat" , but instead some sorta "neighbor". She did the same more or less ( I think she had some devious design re: the game they were playing ... like " OK, you think you're so great on that bike, try to CHASE me ! " or something like that....kid stuff... and fun thank God. This neighborhood has it's share of bad things going on in the streets at times. And that leads to my focus on " The trouble with expression".
A lot of people, like me for example, can't express themselves well in some ways. I didn't say , " Hi there kids ! What's new ? " when I met them on the way back from the bodega. I didn't stop and ask what the heck they were laughing about. Nor did I speak to the spanish people adjacent to the kids ...in their "yard" ...with the bar b q and hammock and obvious friday afternoon socializing they were into....
We in nyc area are typically a mixed bag of races... I'm white, kids were african amer ( black but more like brownish if you ask me ), spanish people like mexicans IMO... who cares. This is suburbia so you can imagine how more mixed it is in the city.
Anyway, the reason I don't express myself so well in situations like that ( spontaneously on the street ) is cause I used to stutter real bad as a kid.. couldnt talk... so I clamed up. All my life I've been fighting that disability ( and other "challenges" re: learning, reading , writing, asthma , etc ) in terms of the "repercusions". Kids like me make fun of me cause I stutter...I can't fight back verbally and lash out physically... become a "maniac". Get kicked out of city schools etc... Trouble maker. Can't express myself, fight back with words....when kids are mean to me. After a while they dont matter much as if they are mean I just keep quiet and keep mouth shut and start "thinking" instead... how to keep on top of this person and not let things get crazy... meet the challenge.
Turns out I'm not stupid and at some point my being " quiet" becomes a positive thing.. peers start asking my advice.. I'm suddenly a " deep thinker" in their eyes. I go from being disabled ( stupid ) to being " a deep thinker" about the age of puberty... when nobody knows what they are doing anymore.
I start thinking about expressing myself some other way than talking.. like maybe draw pictures... paint stuff, do things to have fun with people that doesnt put me in the " limelight".. where I have to talk etc. More success follows this tendency to socialize and express myself... and I discover that chics like the strong silent type.
( I have been into gymnastics thru my fathers infactuation with it since age 2 -- which I think eventually ( inadvertantly ) " cured me " of many of my learning disabilities etc -- (talk to an OT about this and modern child development stuff to know what I mean here )
Meanwhile I am very fond of dogs as my family has dogs one after the other and I am one of their best friends. I find I can communicate with dogs better than I can communicate with people sometimes. This seems to be a problem in some cases with some people, but for me it never got crazy... where I " loved dogs " more than I " love people ". I have never loved any dog more than any person and shudder when I think of those who do. Those people who do have more problems than I ever had to deal with.
And now, after all these years ( I am now 60 ), working on movies and tv stuff etc as a crew person with some college fine art schooling ( eventual photo major ) to get me started, I got into this " editing " stuff... A program I can actually " use " on my mousey computer introduces me to a more " final product " than I ever had access to before.
BUT I don't shoot motion pic stuff, cant afford that - and never could before basically, and now I think about the triple threats and future of movies and tv as a business... as well as the tools ( in this case the editing programs in conjunction with the cameras ( arri, panavision etc ) ) and the desire to express something ...
This has to be ( if you want an audience ) ... " tell a story ". You could just put a camera on a rocket ( strap it to the rocket ) and shoot the takeoff etc and show that.. but you need a V.O. saying " well, I just shot off a rocket and this is what it looked like"...to bring the experience to the audience... or else IMO there is no story.
Which leads to what's going on now in the world of reality tv, episodic tv , some big movies, etc. Telling a story is more than showing you stuff that you just wouldnt have seen if you hadn't been there yourself. Telling a story is more like saying something that bridges the gap between your own experience of life and its challenges ( of being part of your neighborhood and making sense of your own childhood and being an adult now maybe ).. and what others also have gone through to get to the same conclusions....
This is the object of " expression" IMO, whether you can talk about it, draw pictures about it, or make music about it...
And the editing program is a tool to help do that.. it is not the end all or purpose of life or the " personal crusade" in the long run.
It's one reason scary snakes often shock people out of their desire for comfort and predictable living... makes you think about that one serpent in the garden of eden you create for yourself .... and IMO who cares what editing program you use to write that and shoot it ??

Steve Grisetti, the MOD of the Premiere Elements forum and co-founder of a video/photo/editing Web site, Muvipix, did a nice article, "Don't just make a movie - tell a story." His audience was more consumer video editors, than the folk that we see around here, but his points were well-made, and were embraced by many in the Muvipix community.
I think that too many, forget that concept - and I am talking Hollywood and NYC here. It's almost as if, when the story breaks down, they instinctively know to throw in a car chase, or big explosion.
I know that I cite it too often around The Lounge, but that was what I enjoyed most about the LOR trilogy. It told a story. Now, though I had some exposure to the story, when much younger, I have to admit that I never read Tolkien, though almost everyone, that I knew, was busy with every book. Still, I only knew some of the high points, and not much more. However, almost immediately, I was drawn into the story, and only wished that I did not have to wait so long between episodes. The FX were cool, and I am a technoid sort, but it was the story that hooked me. I had read several articles on the FX production, so WAS looking for some of that, but what I wanted was the story. This is one that I will buy the BD "Director's Cut" of, and do a marathon. I have seen each segment, maybe three times, but never back to back to back. I still need to fill in a few blanks, and an entire day of viewing should do that - no phone, no visitors, nothing but LOR.
As far as human communications, I can talk, even more than I write here, but only concerning things that I care about. I am horrible at "small talk," and would rather addrss an auditorium of 10,000, on something that matters to me, than talk about the weather to a single person at a fund raiser. Not that long ago, I was seated next to a potential donor at a charity dinner. I was rather dreading it, and when she mentioned that she did not drink (what, no wine?), I was worried. At some point, early in the evening, the subject turned to politics. Now, I usually am very quiet on my feelings, as they are not exaclty politically correct, and worry about hurting feelings, or making a scene. I fielded a question on Senatorial candidates, and just decided to answer from my heart. Her eyes lit up, and I did not notice that the event had ended. Her husband was standing, as was my wife, and we were talking politics, talk-radio, FoxNews, Senator John Kyl, Will Rogers and much more. I found that we were kindred spirits. Finally, our spouses pulled us apart, and we departed. We continued that conversation at 2 - 3 more events during "the season." One day, my wife informed me that she had just given $10M to the foundation - the largest single gift ever. At least she wasn't a screaming liberal, as I would surely have really messed up the deal... However, had it all been small talk, I would have found a reason to excuse myself and hide in the bar for a few hours.
Also, the way that our society has developed, I will smile, nod, and say "hello" to strangers on the street, but always leave it at that. I am sure that many walk past and think "he wasn't all that friendly." They are probably right, but at least I was pleasant to them and did not rob them! Heck, I will usually tell telemarketers, "No, but thank you for your generous offer on that time-share... "

4) Select all columns for the report. THEN (here's the problem) set an optional where clause of system_role_name like 'ODPSPOPUP%'. Next->
5) choose standard edit link. next->
6) Specify a page of 951 for the form (leave others defaults). next->
7) Set the form primary key (defined in table). next->
8) use existing trigger. next->
9) choose all columns for the form. next->
10) Leave actions to insert, update, delete. next->
11) Get to the summary page and click Finish
Then I get an error page saying:
ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
If I go back to step 4 and erase my where clause the wizard completes successfully.
Also if I change the report type in step 2 from the default of "Interactive" to "Classic" the wizard completes successfully. However upon running the report I get a query parse error. Looks like the where clause in the report sql is: system_role_name like ''ODPSPOPUP%'' (two single quotes on each side).
It looks as if you cannot specify a where clause with a quoted string. The wizard is expecting a bind variable.
Workaround(s):
1) Don't specify a where clause when report type = Interactive in "create form on table with report" wizard.
or
2) Specify a bogus where clause using bind variable syntax such as "system_role_name like :BOGUSVARIABLE". Then edit the report query once the wizard finishes and change the where clause to the constant string you wanted to use in the wizard (e.g. "system_role_name like 'MYSYSTEM%'")
