Using apex_util.get_print_document with DBMS Scheduler

I'm trying to run report_query from DBMS_SCHEDULER job. When the job tries to execute I get this error in dba_scheduler_job_run_details. Notsure how to debug this. Any ideas?
Select error#, additional_info from dba_scheduler_job_run_details where job_name ='TEST10'

You must use a "replace" function in you sql querie for the special characters. for example:
select replace(replace(customer_name,''&'',''%26amp;''),chr(39),''%26apos;'') customer_name

Running apex_util.get_print_document with APEX_MAIL

Hi Paul,
APEX_UTIL API consists of 4 different GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT Functions based on parameters types(Function Overloading) that are being passed. If you look at the function where CLOB is the data type for parameter p_report_data, the bind variables can be passed to the SQL which willl be used by DBMS_XMLGEN or other XML/CLOB generation API's.
I have used DBMS_XMLGEN to generate the CLOB data which intern used by GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT function.

Help with DBMS Schedule

Hello,
i have crated a dbms job usning dbms scheduler. i created a procedure to test this which has run every 28 days on a Wednesday. when i test this this job skips if a holiday falls on wEDNESDAY AND SHOULD RUN ON IMMEDAITE NEXT WEEK OF WEDNESDAY. my job works upto excluding the holidays, but doesn;t run immediate next wednesday instead its running the next shceduled 28 day of that wednesday. here is the code to test the job. PLease help...
BEGIN
SHOW_JOB_SCHEDULE(
sTARTDate => TO_DATE('01/04/2012','mm/dd/yyyy')
,ScheduleString => 'FREQ=DAILY; INTERVAL=28; BYHOUR=04; BYMINUTE=00; BYSECOND=00;EXCLUDE=FEDERALHOLIDAYS;'

Maybe you could do something like this:

/This is an adaptation of a query I wrote to automatically figure out working days for a giving start and end date range. I tweaked it to return the days of which a US Federal Holiday falls and when it's observed. For example if Christmas fell on a Sunday it'd be observed on a Monday. So once we have the list of holidays we can add a week to them to get the days that are required for the run on the following week. After that I use the 11g LISTAGG function to aggregate that data into a single string that will be used to create the schedule per the calendar syntax requirements. Then the schedules are created.
Please note that I drop the schedules at the start of the procedure which disables any jobs that use them. You'll need to enable those jobs again after the fact.
Additionally, you can take the query I have hear and replace it to me your needs. I just provided it as an example. This procedure has been parameterized so it can be run again every year re-creating the schedules.

Apex_util.get_print_document with bind

All,
I'm trying to create a process to bulk print a report to the file system using the API apex_util.get_print_document. Is there a way to pass bind variables to the report query when using this API? If not, has anyone come up w/another solution on mass printing reports that have parms?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
APEX_UTIL API consists of 4 different GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT Functions based on parameters types(Function Overloading) that are being passed. If you look at the function where CLOB is the data type for parameter p_report_data, the bind variables can be passed to the SQL which willl be used by DBMS_XMLGEN or other XML/CLOB generation API's.
I have used DBMS_XMLGEN to generate the CLOB data which intern used by GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT function.

Call print apex_util.get_print_document() with page item values

Hi all
I ran into an issue that very frustrated as it sounds so simple.
I'm in Apex 3.1.
My database has table TAB_CLASSES, TAB_STUDENT
My application has page 1 with P1_SID is student_ID
I had an simple report query name Class_query, show all classes that a student attends
select * from TAB_CLASSES where SID = :P1_SID;
I also select option "include application and session information"
I had report template Class_template
In my application, I have a process tried to generate report list classes for all students.
l_report blob;
for x in (select * from TAB_STUDENT)
loop
:P1_SID := x.SID;
l_report := apex_util.get_print_document (
p_application_id => :APP_ID,
p_report_query_name => 'Class_query',
p_report_layout_name => 'Class_template',
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => 'pdf'
insert all the l_report into database with SID as a part of l_report name (*)
end loop;
After this, I got multiple of l_report blob in database, number of report is exactly number of student in the TAB_STUDENT table. The problem is that every report looks the same, and it got the information of only first student
I guessed it did not pass the item value (P1_SID) every time it call the get_print_document, but it still shows in the report name (*)
Please help me. Thanks for any idea.

Thanks for the post of Marc, about how variables are binding and calling by process, I changed my app design to have a sp to print and store the pdf file. Then in my app, I just called the sp and passed the P1_SID. It worked.
Thanks.

Help using /AFS/BAPI_PO_CREATE with multiple schedule lines

I'm using /AFS/BAPI_PO_CREATE to create POs and everything works fine until I pass an item with multiple schedule lines.
When you pass multiple schedules it is giving each of the schedule lines under an item the same grid value! So if I want to order one black, one white shirt... both grid values are changed to black when the PO is created.
I'm wondering if you need to pass some sort of sequence value into the BAPI when you have multiple schedule lines for an item. Does anyone know?

Hi Justin
Please make sure that you are specifying the <b>item number</b> while passing the ITEM Details and their correponding SCHEDULE lines.
Though i couldnt find FM: /AFS/BAPI_PO_CREATE in our system, i guess it is similar to BAPI_PO_CREATE.
Kind Regards

Apex_util.get_print_Document not working outside apex environment

I am working on one of the assignment in Apex 4.0.2 .
The requirement is to dynamically generate reports and mail to User using the Scheduler program(Pl/sql) -> dbms_scheduler.
I have used BI publisher to create the template and xml data for the report(Excel) and used Apex_util.get_print_Document
in the scheduler program (which is written outside Apex), but this is not working properly,sends blank report to email.
Please suggest how to set the apex session and use Apex_util.get_print_Document to work properly outside apex env.

Apex (PL/SQL web-enabled) code needs to execute inside an Oracle server session that has been properly and correctly initialised for executing web enabled PL/SQL code.
An example of how to execute such PL/SQL by intialising a proper environment, is shown in {message:id=2251131}.
Note that this will not be able to execute Apex pages (via the flow engine) that are not public - that needs a proper authenticated Apex web session. Which could be a tad complex to emulate in this fashion.

Apex_util.get_print_document results in "503-service unavailable"

I'm using APEX 4.2.0.3.00.08 with GlassFish 3.1.2.2 on an Oracle 10.2.0.5 database.
Recently I created a report-query together with a xsl-fo report-layout created in Altova Stylevision. I've enabled and configured print-options and when I press my application button, I'm perfectly capable of viewing and/or saving the pdf-version of my report.
Additionally I want to save my report as BLOB in the database, but when I try this using apex_util.get_print_document, all I get in my table is a html-page containing the message "503-service unavailable".
I used the following page as reference:
Creating High Fidelity PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express but apparently I'm missing something or doing something wrong......I truly hope there's someone out here to help me!!
Thanks in advance!

Hello Mike,
I've been trying to create an application on apex.oracle.com to reproduce the problem, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've uploaded a very simple layout created in StylusStudio, a simple query on the EMP-table only containgin FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME and EMAIL and when I add the layout to the query and press "Test report", it works fine.
When I run the report from my application, it only shows a pdf with a thick, horizontal lines, like it's showing only empty cell borders.
Meanwhile I found out that the APEX-listener keeps reporting similair errors, even when I use that same simple stylesheet (created with StylusStudio) on the EMP-table, even when the stylesheet does not contain any special characters at all. In stead of the message starting with INFO: Character decoding failed. Parameter [#x200B;</xsl:text> , it then ignores the complete xslt-stylesheet (the complete contents of the stylesheet is between the brackets, in stead of just the string containg the special chars).
To be honest I'm a little lost now. First my focus was on how to get rid of the special characters, but now it looks like, even when I might succeed in that, it doesn't even solve my problem.
Any idea why my application doesn't show me the same report I see when testing the report-query?
The application can be found here:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/htmldb/f?p=29586
The bottom region is an attempt to show the pdf with the highest id, but I think it does not show the actual pdf (http-404)
The source for that PL/SQL region is:
declare
src_ varchar2(256);
mime_ varchar(48);
id_   number;
begin
select max(id)
into id_
from report_archive;
    select mimetype
      into mime_
      from report_archive
     where id = id_;
    src_ := 'src="#OWNER#.download_doc?i_doc_id=' || id_ || '" ';
    htp.p('<div style="">');
    if instr(mime_,'pdf') > 0 then
      htp.p('<embed height="800" width="1200" name="statement" ');
    elsif instr(mime_,'excel') > 0 then
      htp.p('<embed height="800" width="1200" name="statement" ');
    else
      htp.p('<embed height="800" name="statement" ');
    end if;
    htp.p(src_);
    htp.p('type="' || mime_ || '" />');
    htp.p('</div>');
exception
   when no_data_found then
      null;
end;
I really hope we can solve this!!!!
Best regards,

Making apex_util.get_print_document return an error message

We are using apex_util.get_print_document in a process to run a report something like this:
declare
   l_report blob := null;
begin
    l_report := apex_util.get_print_document (
        p_application_id      => :APP_ID,
        p_report_query_name   => 'report_query_name',
        p_report_layout_name => 'report_layout_name',
        p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
        p_document_format     => 'rtf'
   if l_report is not null and dbms_lob.getlength(l_report) > 0 then
      apex_application.g_print_success_message := 'Report Created.<br>';
      INSERT INTO reports (attachment, date_created, filename, mime_type)
      VALUES (l_report, sysdate, 'report.rtf', 'text/rtf' );
   else
      apex_application.g_print_success_message := '<span style="color:#CC0000">There was a problem creating the report.</span><br>';
   end if;
end;And this works well most of the time. The problem is, if the report fails for some reason, apex_util.get_print_document gives no information whatsoever as to what went wrong. Is there any way at all we can find out what the problem was?

        p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
        p_document_format     => 'rtf'
   if l_report is not null and dbms_lob.getlength(l_report) > 0 then
      apex_application.g_print_success_message := 'Report Created.<br>';
      INSERT INTO reports (attachment, date_created, filename, mime_type)
      VALUES (l_report, sysdate, 'report.rtf', 'text/rtf' );
   else
      apex_application.g_print_success_message := '<span style="color:#CC0000">There was a problem creating the report.</span><br>';
   end if;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS THEN
      raise_application_error(-20001,'An error was encountered - '||SQLCODE||' -ERROR- '||SQLERRM);
end;This will give proper error message.
Hope this will helps you.

Apex_util.download_print_document with clob file

Has anybody had success using apex_util.download_print_document with a clob data file (instead of Report Query)? I'm trying this with an XML dataset and rtf. document that works if I try in Word BI -Plugin. If I try code below from APEX page I get an error saying there is something wrong with the document.
apex_util.download_print_document(
p_file_name => 'test',
p_content_disposition => 'attachment',
p_report_data => test_clob('',''),
p_report_layout => 'ID_LST',
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => 'pdf',
p_print_server => null);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_clob (p_username in varchar2,
p_password in varchar2) return CLOB IS
v_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
v_clob := dbms_xslprocessor.read2clob('INTERFACES','id_lst.xml');
return(v_clob);
END test_clob;

Apex_util.download_print_document with Oracle XE?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to use apex_util.download_print_document with Oracle XE?
And can I do so without BI Publisher?
If not, please point me to some solution that allows me to print PDF from my apps.
Thanks!
Remco

Hi I'm a total novice, as you will see. But Iam trying to use template of an employee schedule but when I try to add extra columns it does not add the preset formula with it, so it works out total hours and total pay?   If any one can help please.

Hi Grum,
If the formulas aren't filling to the new column, you must have changed something in the template since you first opened it. Numbers is rather fussy about filling row content in columns as they are added. Only rows with the same expression in every Body Column will fill when a column is added. Just as an experiment, start a new Employee Schedule document from the Template Chooser and then add a column by clicking the Add Column handle in the upper right corner of the table. If that works, as it should, then think about what might have changed in your working document to disconnect that feature. Maybe we can figure it out together.

How can I get System dates with time scheduler using threads

how can I get System dates with time scheduler using threads.is there any idea to update Date in my application along with system Date automatic updation...

What the heck are you talking about and whatr has it to do with threads?
Current time: System.currentTimeMillis. Date instances are not supposed to be updated.

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT Error Unable to get the document

Hi,
   I am working on Oracle APEX 4.1 to send the report as an attachment through mail I am unable to get the document while calling the APEX_UTIL.get_print_document. I have created a report query and report template (rtf template) so as to send the report as an email attachment. The report works fine individually upon clicking of button so there is no issue in BI publisher configuration. I am sure there is something very trivial which I am missing out here. Any help will be appreciated.
Declare
   l_id number;
   l_document BLOB;
   l_error_msg varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
   l_document := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT
         p_application_id=>'123',
         p_report_query_name=>'Sample_Report',
         p_report_layout_name=> 'Sample_Report',
         p_report_layout_type=>'RTF',
         p_document_format=>'PDF',
         p_print_server => 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=Sample_Report'
   IF l_document is null
   THEN
       dbms_output.put_line( ' no report returned');
      l_error_msg:='<html> <body> <h1 > Apologies the report was not returned from the apex , as there is some printing issues </h1> </body> </html> ';
   ELSE
      l_error_msg:=null;
   END IF;
   IF l_error_msg IS NULL THEN
       l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND(
       p_to => '[email protected]',
       p_from => '[email protected]',
       p_subj => 'APEX_MAIL with attachment',
       p_body => 'Please review the attachment.',
       p_body_html => '<b>Please</b> review the attachment' || l_error_msg);
      dbms_output.put_line(l_id);
      IF l_document is not null then
         APEX_MAIL.ADD_ATTACHMENT (
                    p_mail_id => l_id,
                    p_attachment => l_document,
                    p_filename => 'Sample_Report.pdf',
                    p_mime_type => 'application/pdf');
      END IF;
END IF;
END;
Here the output says no report returned.
Thanks & Regards
Ahmed

Try removing the parameter p_print_server from the call. This will use your default print server which should already be configured to use the BI Publisher engine.
