Unable to create master detail report

Hi,
I´ve two tables (Organisation and Purchases) and want to create a master-deatil with the wizard.
At the end an error occurs:
ORA-20001: Unable to create master detail page. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
Unable to create Master Detail pages.
Return to application.
Any ideas ? Any reaction will be appreciated
Leo

Leo,
How are your two tables related? Do you have a foreign key constraint? It sounds like that there may be a datatype mismatch between the master table's PK and the detail table's FK - check to make sure that they are both NUMBER.
Thanks,

Error creating Master/Detail Form

Hi,
I tried to create a master detail form. I went through all the steps fine, only when i click the button to create the form, i received the following errors:
ORA-20001: Unable to create master detail page. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
Unable to create Master Detail pages.
Could someone please tell me what's wrong?
Thanks,
Patrick.

We are getting this message in several areas in the development environmnet. It's happening in the developer login screen, when creating new tabs, and when tryig to create master detail reports. Here is our error from the Apache Log:
[Mon Mar 2 11:41:31 2009] [error] [client 10.64.8.231] [ecid: 1236012090:148.94.143.136:24226:0:1621,0] mod_plsql: /pls/apex_qmnt/wwv_flow.accept HTTP-404 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error\nORA-06512: at line 31\n
I think this is different from the issue above as that is due to too many items in a shuttle list. Ours seems to be related to our new APEX insstallation. Any help is appreciated here.

How can I create master detail reprot output

Hi to all!
I have one question about creating master-detail report.
My report must show asset's and depreciation and all other information for that asset. I can have one asset at two or more locations, cost numbers, ...
Now I have 2 SQL's in my XML file. Q1 is master data for some asset and Q2 is detail for that asset, if I run my report with all parameters (book type, asset nubmer, cost nubmer) then it runs OK (I get master-detail report, for each asset I get separate page, even if asset has multiple cost number or locations), but if I run that report without cost number parameter I get multiple pages for master (data from Q1 on each page), but detail data is all together on each page.
Can you help me how can I also get separate detail data in that case?
I hope we understand each other!

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for ur response.
Actually, In my first tab page I have some details of employ which is based on a database table.
The second tab page also contain the details of employ which based on backend stored procedure. I used a REF cursor in that stored procedure.
When I have created a master detail relationship based on employee_id, it created the relationship but while executing the form it is giving error like
'pk_empdetails.query' must be declared.
pk_empdetails.query(is backend procedure).
Hope u got my point.

Master Detail Report for PDF Printing

Dear All,
       While trying to create a master detail report using Oracle APEX 4.2 and BI Publisher. I tried creating report queries and report layout following the below mentioned steps.
CREATE TYPE emp_row AS OBJECT (
EMPNO NUMBER(4),
ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
JOB VARCHAR2(9),
MGR NUMBER(4),
HIREDATE DATE,
SAL NUMBER(7,2),
COMM NUMBER(7,2)
CREATE TYPE emp_tab AS TABLE OF emp_row;
CREATE TYPE dept_row AS OBJECT (
DEPTNO NUMBER(2),
DNAME VARCHAR2(14),
LOC VARCHAR2(13),
EMP_LIST emp_tab
SELECT SYS_XMLAGG (
SYS_XMLGEN(
dept_row(
d.deptno, d.dname, d.loc,
CAST(MULTISET(SELECT e.empno, e.ename, e.job, e.mgr, e.hiredate, e.sal, e.comm
FROM emp e
WHERE e.deptno = d.deptno) AS emp_tab)
SYS.XMLGENFORMATtYPE.createFormat('DEPT')
) AS "XML_QUERY"
FROM dept d
WHERE d.deptno = 10;
Though the above steps generates xml output while trying to generate in APEX it says unsupported datatype. Tried using DBMS_LOB as well no luck. Any inputs will be quite helpful. Should there be any other way to incorporate master detail report printing in APEX kindly advise.
Thanks
Ahmed

Hi Ahmed_Jed,

Thanks Kiran for your prompt response. I tried following the steps already using this link (How To Create a Master-Detail PDF Report) somehow the detail record was not getting processed perhaps was trying to generate xml data using the above query. Any other reference will be highly appreciated.

    Well the problem lies here:
SELECT SYS_XMLAGG (
SYS_XMLGEN(
dept_row(
d.deptno, d.dname, d.loc,
CAST(MULTISET(SELECT e.empno, e.ename, e.job, e.mgr, e.hiredate, e.sal, e.comm
FROM emp e
WHERE e.deptno = d.deptno) AS emp_tab)
SYS.XMLGENFORMATtYPE.createFormat('DEPT')
) AS "XML_QUERY"
FROM dept d
WHERE d.deptno = 10;
    The Report Query itself generates XML data (in the required BI Publisher format). So, no need to generate it like this.
    As you are using table functions your query should be of the type:
SELECT EMPNO
            , ENAME
            , JOB
            , MGR
            , HIREDATE
            , SAL
            , COMM
    FROM TABLE ( EMP_PKG.GET_EMPLOYEES ( :PXX_DEPTNO ))
    where EMP_PKG.GET_EMPLOYEES is packaged table function which returns the Object Table of type EMP_TAB mentioned above.
    When you test the above Report Query with sample DEPTNO, it will generate the sample XML, which you can use to generate Report Layout in RTF format using BI Publisher Desktop.
    Hope this helps!

Kiran

Master details report/form

Hi Friends,
I want to create a Master-Detail report/form.
I have one Master Table and it has 3 Detail tables.
Example:
Master Table: Members
Detail Tables: Contributions
Loans
Benefit ClaimsI want to show when I click on a specific Member in the report edit , I can make entry/update to all
the 3 detail tables. And not going each entry separately.
Is this design requirement good?
Thanks a lot

Binds in Master/Detail Reports: Problems and Solutions

I've been trying to use bind variables in the master report of master/detail reports with multiple detail reports; but, I've been getting a problem with the detail reports not displaying data.
Here's a sample sequence of events:
1) Select the master/detail report under User Defined Reports.
2) Connect to a DB (if necessary).
3) Enter any value(s) for the bind(s) for the master report.
4) Select a row in the master report.
5) The currently selected detail report displays column names and data.
6) Select a different detail report.
7) Nothing displays except column names.
8) Select a different detail report.
9) Nothing displays except column names.
10) Click the currently selected row in the master report.
11) Now the current selected detail report displays (column names and) data.
I have found that if, I am more selective with my bind variable names, I can get things to work as expected.
First, let me show an example of some SQL that was giving me problems.
Master Report:
select distinct OWNER
from SYS.ALL_OBJECTS
where (OWNER like :OWNER or :OWNER is NULL)
Detail Reports:select *
from SYS.ALL_OBJECTS
where OWNER = :OWNER
and OBJECT_TYPE = 'INDEX'replacing 'INDEX' with other values for the other detail reports.
(I did have this problem with other SQL too but hopefully this SQL will run on everyone's DB.)
The first solution I found was to change the name of the bind in the master to something like OWNER_BIND.
The second solution I found was to change the master to
select distinct OWNER as POWNERand change the detail reports to
where OWNER = :POWNERAnother solution might be to adjust the bind variable names' case, but I didn't look at that.
While I was trying different things to get this to work, one of the goofy things that SQL Developer did was add <binds>s to the <query>s of the detail reports in my UserReports.xml. IIRC, it even did this to a master/detail report that I was not editing. So, if you run into this problem, you might want to open your UserReports.xml and clean it up by hand. (Actually, that might be good advice for other problems too.)
Tip: I've had other problems with my User Reports such as disappearing reports; so, not only do I regularly make copies my UserReports.xml, I also save report(s) into separate XML files and use Tools > Preferences... > Database > User Defined Extensions to add REPORT-type extensions to SQL Developer. (Kris Rice talked a bit about REPORT-type extensions in this blog entry: http://krisrice.blogspot.com/2006/11/xml-extension-points-reports.html)
FYI: I'm using sqldeveloper-1.1.2.2579 on Windows XP w/ SP2. The DB is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production.

Here is the complete XML exported from a problem report. If you want to use this, save it as an XML file then import that file from within SQL Developer (ie, right-click on User Defined Reports and choose Import).
Notice that there are <binds>s on the detail reports. They don't belong there; only the one on the master report belongs. (The <binds> is specified by the Binds tab when creating a report. They are for prompting the user for value(s) and you cannot do that in child reports.) Even if I removed the <binds>s from the detail reports before importing the XML file, I still see the problem. SQL Developer also ends up putting them back. I think that it might happen to each detail report individually as it is visited when using (ie, not editing) the master/detail report.

Master-Detail Report

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to implement master-detail report in single window without navigating to other window in OBI 10g by following the below link
http://108obiee.blogspot.in/2010/02/obiee-master-detail-requests-navigation.html
but i am facing problem in creating iframe column and including that column in the report
Can we achieve this requirement in OBI 10g if yes please suggest me how can we do this.
Thanks,

Hi Muram,
For implementing Master-detail for the product report when we click on Prod-Cat from master report(Year, Prod-Cat, Tot-Sales) it as to show the detail report (Prod-SubCat,Tot-Sales) in the same window without navigation to the other window for this scenario I implemented the steps as per the below URL which was send in the previous post.
http://obiee10grevisited.blogspot.in/2012/05/master-detailed-report-on-same-page.html
but I am facing problem in 5th,6th,7th steps could you please suggest me on these.
1>First I created master report with columns (Year, Prod-Cat, Tot-Sales)
2>Second I created detail report with columns(Prod-SubCat,Tot-Sales)
3>I have created two prompts Year and Prod-Cat
4>Now in the dashboard page I kept prompts and two reports in separate sections
5>To build intermediate report for validation which columns I have to take in that report and what I have to give in the fx.
6>In the detail report sections in the edit dashboard how to give the reference to the intermediate report and how to make the report not visible at the initial view of the user.
7>In the main report how to give the navigation to the same page which consist of main and detail report together we can navigation either main report or detail report how we can navigation which consist of both.
Thanks,

Master-detail reports in SqlDeveloper

Hello,
I recently read this article by Sue Harper.
www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-may/o37sql.html
I am using Sqldeveloper for a little while now, but never created a user-defined report.
This morning I read this article about it, and I am really thrilled.
The problem is: I cannot get a master-detail report to work.
I followed the instructions:
Master query:
select a.master_column
from not_important a
The type of the detail report is "DETAIL" and I refer to the master-column like this : where blabla = :MASTER_COLUMN
I Tried:
* changing caption of the bind variable.
* adding a column alias in the master query
* changing type to child
nothing works
Tried it in sqldeveloper: 1.5.4 and 1.1.2.25
neither work.
Of course I am missing the obvious. Can somebody please point out, what I am doing wrong.
Regards.

I finally figured out, what I was doing wrong.
I tested my report with a single master-record by pressing the detail run-button (>) immediately after the report openend, WITHOUT first actually selecting this single master record with my mouse.
So when I hit the detail run-button (>) Oracle returned with a "All Rows Fetched: 0". So I never realized I was actually querying with a NULL value in the bind variable.

Master Detail Report using Report Query

I am using APEX Report Query component to try and create a mater/detail report with BI plug-in. The Report Queries doesn't give you mush flexibility as each query is independent of the other. I'm trying to see if I need to create 2 queries or 1 AND what option would let me create a master detail report like so in BI Desktop:
Employee: Bob ID:100 Dept: HR
Jobs
Job 1
Job 2
Job 3
Employee: Tom ID:200 Dept: ACCt
Jobs
Job 1
Job 2
Job 3
Option1.
I could combine the Employee Job info with the Employee info, but that would report the Employee info for every Employee Job. I didn't think that was good.
<Rowset1_Row>
<EMPID>
<NAME>
<DEPT>
<JOB>
</Rowset1_Row>
Option 2.
I could create 2 queries. The 1st getting all of the Empoyee info. The 2nd getting all of the Employee jobs.
<Rowset1_Row>
<EMPID>
<NAME>
<DEPT>
<JOB>
</Rowset1_Row>
<Rowset2_Row>
<EMPID>
<JOB>
</Rowset2_Row>
<Rowset2_Row>
<EMPID>
<JOB>
</Rowset2_Row>
Any advice?

Master Detail Reports on the same page

hi experts. i need your assistance in one issue...
i have a master detail reports in one page. Master report displays all the products and details report shows their orders...
what i want is, when user clicks on products graph its detail graph show the orders of that particular record on the same page. Both reports would remain visible on the same page side by side.
if anyone can help?

Hi Asif48,
Just as Visakh suggest, we can add the master data and subreport in the same tablix, then set the visbility of subreport to toggle based on click action of master level row. And add some parameters to filter the related data based on the master report field.
For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Create another report as the subreport and insert some fields.
Create a parameter named Order in the subreport.
In the main report, right-click to insert a subreport in the column right of the master tablix.
Right-click the subpeort to open the Subreport Properties, and select the subreport name in the drop-down list.
In the left panel of the Subreport Properties dialog box, click Visibility.
Select Hide option, and select Product (master level row) to display the subreport to be toggled by the Product report item.
In the left panel of the Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters.
Select Order in the drop-down list of Name, and select [Product] (use the related filed name) in the drop-down list of Value.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Master-Detail reports in Reports 6i

I am trying to write a master-detail report where the master record prints on the top of page one and the detail records print on the top of page two. They would repeat this for additional records.
Currently I have a repeating frame with two frames inside it (the repeating frame is on one page of the layout model). The top frame is for the master record (this is a regular frame) and the bottom frame is for the detail records (this is a repeating frame). I can get the detail records to print on the second page, but they print at the same position as in the layout model (towards the bottom of the page).
The question I have is how to get the detail records to print at the top of page two?
Thanks in advance

Hi Todd!
I had the similar task but implemented it a little bit differently. Try the following on the master record frame: set Vertical Elasticity to variable and create format trigger
function M_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
PAGE_NUM NUMBER;
begin
srw.get_page_num (page_num);
if mod(page_num,2)=0 then
return false;
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
Both of this things should release space occupied by the master frame from the second/even pages and move detail frame up.

Master/Detail report on same page.

Hi, I am trying to put together a report (10g HTML DB) and can't seem to put together a master/detail report.
I would like to have a header, something like
Project Title -- Project Status etc... for each project. Then below this section
Project Detail 1
Project Detail 2
Project Detail 3
Loop through the projects
It's just two tables. projects and details. Details has a fk project.id.
I tried to do a Form -> Master Detail but it puts them on seperate pages and also allows the data to be edited. I don't need that, this is simply for display.
This is something I can put together just creating an html table in an anonymous PLSQL block but if ability is there in HTML DB I should probably try it that way.

Hi,
This can be achieved by doing something like the following:
Have a single SQL statement that joins the two tables together. eg,
select p.project_title,
d.project_detail1,
d.project_detail2,
etc
from projects p
inner join details d on d.project_id = p.project_id
This will provide a flat table with the project title in the first column for all records.
Then, in the Report Attributes, you need to switch on Column Breaks:
In the Break Formatting section, set Breaks to "First Column"
In the When displaying a break column use this format, enter #project_title#
In the Identify how you would like your breaks to be displayed, select "Repeat headings on break"
Finally, clear the "Show" tick for the project_title column
There's probably something you could do to improve formatting etc, but this should give you a start.

Master detailed report

Hi all,
In OBIEE 11g I want to create a master report with employer number and other high level information, and when I click on the employer number I should be able to view another report which shows employer information in detailed level.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have followed the documentation and was able to build a master detailed report. You can search for this topic What is Master-Detail Linking of Views?
Here is the link:
