User Interactive reports in background

Hi all,
There is report in CMS which prints collateral sheet, when i run the report in foreground(/ncms_cs) it ask for some input fields like Business partner id , smartform name and output device, after furnishing these details it give a pop saying BP belongs to Borrowing Entity and ask whether to continue or not and when you say yes it generates smart form else it quits.
Can any one tell me is it possible to run this report in background since its generating a pop-up while executing and if we run this in background we are unable to see the pop up and provide the input(Yes/No) and i am getting an error mesg as provide input parameters. So is there any way to run this kind of report in background
regards,
Suhail

You cannot have an interactive report in the background
what you need to do is to remove any popups or messages to allow the program to run in bg properly
you can pass the required parameters to your program whilst calling it before it starts execution

Interactive report in background

Hi,
How to run a interactive report in background.I have used job_open,submit and job_close.Here a spool is getting genereated which displays the first o/p but after that in that report based on user selection further processing should happen.How to do it?

There is no code behind the spool data that could be executed.
You would have to write additional logic to retrieve the spool data, present it online and implement interactive processing.
Ask Martin, he did it successfully

Saving user Interactive Reports in Production, when migrating a new version

Hi All,
Interactive Reports allow individual users from creating their own custom reports.
If I were to migrate a modification to the Application, will these overwrite the user's Reports?
If it does, is there any way to save the user reports in Production, while we migrate an updated version of the application?
Thanks.
Kevin

Hi,
This is a very commonly brought up issue. If you keep the same application ID from development to production and don't export the interactive reports from development then they will not be overwritten.
The original metadata will be used. There is an excellent blog post from Joel Kallman of Oracle on this topic which gives much more detail: http://joelkallman.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/where-did-my-saved-interactive-reports.html
I used the methods discussed in the post when I needed to solve this problem.
Thanks

How to Schedule an Interactive report in Background?

Hi Experts,
The existing program generates Pay-in-slip,in the selection screen i am giving
company code(Parameter) and Dates(select-option) as input,this gives me a list of records(ALV)
with check boxe's if i select the records and click on 'post' button in the basic list then the program prompts with dialouge box to set print parameters for samrt form.
The requiremnt is, in the basic list when we select the check box and click on 'Post' icon the rest of the program should sechdule the job in background and a spool & log has to be generated in SM37.
Would be thankful to one who can guide me regarding this.

What I once did was set sy-batch = 'X' at the appropriate point in the code....not suggesting that as the best solution, but it worked for me at the time...
What I do today is present an SALV, when the user presses a particular function, I do (write statements in my program automatically create a spool for the userid specified in user):
call function 'JOB_OPEN'
exporting
 jobname = lc_name "my job name
 importing
 jobcount = lv_number "hold this value.
 exceptions
lv_sav_subrc = sy-subrc . "i use this value elsewhere...
if lv_sav_subrc eq 0.
 submit <your program name>
 using selection-set lv_variant "background only variant I created for the program
 with <your parameter> eq somevalue
 with <your_parameter2> eq somevalue
 user <batchuserid> "use this to be sure background job can be executed
 via job lc_name number lv_number
 and return.
 call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
 exporting
 jobcount = lv_number
 jobname = lc_name
 strtimmed = gc_x
 importing
 job_was_released = lv_job_released
 exceptions
 cant_start_immediate = 1
 invalid_startdate = 2

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:
Re: changing the look and feel of interactive report.

Is possible to save the user that uses the download action in an interactive report.

Hi,
In my application I want to save who is downloading the interactive reports information in any format, is it possible?
Regards

Hi Eva,
As far as I know there is not an out of the box option that shows you the user that is downloading the interactive report. I guess you would have to write your own logic for that.
You can create your own logging table and a dynamic action with
1) a pl/sql procedure to insert the logging into the table, and
2) submits the page with the appropriate download format, eg. f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION_ID.:CSV::::
As trigger of the dynamic action you need to use either of the download buttons, so I'd suggest the jQuery selector "#apexir_dl*"
Kind regards,
Vincent

Background image on Interactive report column

Hi,
I have had a request from a customer with regards to displaying a background image behind a column on an interactive report.
The interactive report is used to show notes added for an individual in the application.
They want to display a note image behind the text to make the note stand out better.
Is it possible to add a background image to the each cell in the interactive report
Thanks
Kevin

Paramerterized Interactive Reports - is there a quick solution to stop the query from executing when entering the page prior to user clicking go.

Example
Currently, when the user enters the page the interactive report runs (without the user hitting "go")and - indicates no data found because one of the "parameterized" fields is required and the sql is not setup for nulls.
I'm Looking for a way to not perform a query at all -------until the user hits go for the first time on the page - then each time they re-enter the page in the same session it would be ok to auto submit the query.
I believe I can setup a hidden item and check on my interactive report E1 not null. Then create a "computation" on "after submission" that would set this value to a value - say 1.
I can seem to be able to get this to work however.
In my interactive report - I'm wondering what "condition type" should I be using. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

In this case I just have 2 parameters. The goal is to allow the user to "pre filter" BEFORE rendering the interactive due to the possible size of the report. This pre fliter could be by say- order type or region or branch etc.
Right now, I believe its all one region - see below.
My first attempt, I put a branch on the after submit on the go button and then put a condition on the interactive report. This worked but caused a looping issue when trying to select a column on the interactive report itself. My guess is , because that drop down was also using that same go button.
Anyway, please advise how to best "pre filter" prior to rendering an interactive report. Should I have two seperate regions or can I use one region. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Interactive report gives an error only for a specific user

An interactive report based on a very complicated select gives an error only when a specific user is logged on.
The error is:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB.
For other users logging using this page it works fine.
Authentication for this application is done using a stored function.
The query does not use the current userid in it.
Why does it fail for a specific user? if there is a problem, it should fail all the time.

Hi ankur,
By what you said the report dont have any date parameters or no date columns.
"Query execution was not successful ORA-01843 not a valid month." This means it is related with date mask passing a invalid month into date column or argument to to_date function.Check once the session date that is 'dd-mm-yy' or anything else
select * from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT'
select to_date('01-DEC-06'),to_date('01-12-06') from dual;
Also a general question whenever I am trying to mark any question as 'Helpful', the status is not changing. Is there anything I am missing.While you flag it 'helpful' or 'correct',it takes you to other screen where you see "Yes, the question is now answered" click the radio button and then click ok button.
Hope its helpful.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

Save Interactive Reports in Apex 4.0 for a specific user

Hello all
Here's the setup: I have APEX 4.0.1 running on Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2003.
I built a GPS application which allows users to see their vehicles on a google map...but this is beside the point.
My problem is that when a user saves a specific Interactive Report (after having done some customization as to columns & computaitons etc) the report is visible to any one that connects to the application.
I am using a custom made authentication (in Apex I use no authentication and have a function validate the user logon before he is taken to the main page). this is because users are divided into companies, sub companies and departments and each user is granted access to a page in function of his presence in this hierarchy.
My question is: how can I implement the feature whereby saved interactive reports are visible to only those users that saved them?
Thanks in advance

Hi "user12045065" (please change your forum handler),
what does APP_USER show for you? Is it the same for all users?
I'm not sure if I fully understood your sentence "in Apex I use no authentication and have a function validate the user logon".
Does that mean you are NOT using a "custom authentication scheme" for that? If you answer that question with yes, how should APEX be able to distinguish the different users? And I still don't understand why you don't use it, because also with a "custom authentication scheme" you can redirect the user to the page he is privileged for.

Patrick

Need to schedule a report in background from an user exit

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to execute a report in background from an user exit. Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Vivenchandar R

Use the submit statement.
For example
SUBMIT zipr_trans_details "VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
 WITH so_trdt IN lr_tr_period
 WITH so_empno IN lr_emp
 AND RETURN.
Where zipr_trans_details is the report name.

Interactive Report actions don't work for users (i.e. for non-developers)

I've Interactive Reports that work fine in development. But when I or other users run it in non-development mode, no feature or actions (sorting, filtering, select columns, aggregate, etc.) work. At run time (going directly to the URL ...apex/f?p=APP_ID), the actions menu is enabled for users and it allows them to go through the process of filtering (select column, pick opeartor, pick value) and click-apply, but nothing happens after that! The interactive report comes back with the data as it was before the filtering was applied. Same thing happens with other action-menu features (no affect).
Please help since I've a demo tomorrow to show these features. Thanks.

Why would you post this same issue twice? Did you think it would help get an answer faster?
I see the second post here: Re: Actions Menu in Interactive Reports does not sort, filter, select cols etc

How to set different default interactive reports for different user groups?

I'm probably overlooking an obvious solution, but how do I set different default interactive report for different user groups?
For the same interactive report, I want one set of users to see a default where the default filter is based on column X. However, another group of users doesn't have authorization to see that column so I need to set the default filter to something else for them.
Thanks

You can set a filter on a report in a URL - would that help? I think with apex 4.x you can also link to a saved default report or alternative report...

How can user specify HAVING clause in Interactive Report

How can user specify HAVING clause in Interactive Report after making the group by selection? Under Actions/Format, the user sees just the Group By-Sort and Group By options.
