Using functions/sql in report columns

Hi,
New at CRM OD so struggling with reports...
So the problem is :
Have an Account Record and an associated "Parent Account" with it (Type: Account)
Now the report must show the Account Name, Parent Account(if any), ID of the Parent Account.
Not sure how to implement the 3rd col. ie parent Account ID. It always shows the ID of the Primary account itself.
Any suggestions will be vastly helpful.
Thanks!!!

Maybe it is an option to add a (hidden) field on the Account which holds the Id of the Parent Account. You have to fill this field with a default and a workflow in case the parent gets added later or changed. This case the parent account Id will be storen on the Account record itself enabling you to report on it. It is a bit of a work-around, but I think it works. Let me know if you need help on getting the syntax right.
Best regards, Tim

Using presentation variables in report columns

Hi.
I need to create a report column evaluating the difference in days between a field containing a date and a presentation variable.
My field is defined as:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, "Data Scadenza"."Data Scadenza Fattura", @{DataAnalisiScaduto})
Where DataAnalisiScaduto is a presentation variable passed to the report and it's generated on a date field.
Executing the report I get an error and looking at the session manager in the generated query I can see:
TRUNC( (31 / nullif( 12, 0)) / nullif( 2010, 0) ) - TRUNC( T4292.DATA )
Why ? How can I do ?
Thanks,
Andrea

Using values returned from SQL for Report column names

I am building reports against our TFS development db.
One of the reports tracks days spent (Dwell Time) in various status categories (eg: New, Assigned, In Development, Hold, etc) for a given "ticket".
For a fixed list of values from {Work Item].System_State, I can send the results (days in Assigned) to the column named (Assigned) for each status for each event in the [Work Item History], and then sum them for each ticket as:
Ticket ID      New          Assigned       InDev       etc
1230001        2                  0                 0          ...
1230001        0                  1                 2          ....
SUM            2                    1                2         ....
However, I have many different Projects, each of which use their own Status names.
I don't want to duplicate the same basic report, if I can avoid it.
How can I name and generate this data for the unique Status list for each Project?
Simplest analog is: name = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb")
and allows value for a column name (category) as: =IIF(Fields!Status.Value = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb"), Fields!Days.Value, 0)
However this fails beause:
1. It only delivers the FIRST status value, and,
2. I cannot SUM an expression which is itself an aggregate (using First).

RRapport,
Is this still an issue?

Use saved sql in report

Hello specialists,
I'm just starting with Apex, so sorry in advance for stupid questions, and posts on the wrong topics.
I am making an application in which the user may only view his own records, so I thought I'd make a userdatabase, and put in every SQL
'select * from tablename where "user" = V('APP_USER')', whereas the field user is also in de table with records.
This seems to work, but I have 2 questions about that:
- is this the best method?
- instead of putting the SQL mentioned above, I've put it in a 'saved SQL'; is it possible to base a reportregion on this saved SQL, instead of always repeating this SQL in every report I make?
I've tried to base my source of the region on 'select * from mysaved_SQL', but that doesn't work.
Thank you for any reply, and remember I'm just a beginner... ;-)

You might have better luck on the Apex forum
Oracle Application Express (APEX)
I have no APEX experience, but just in a general, database development comment - I do not think that making a database table full of SQL statements is a good approach. There are much more knowledgeable people on this forum that could explain the technical reasons why, but it just raises a red flag of "bad idea" when I even think about it. This may be totally off base for how Apex works, I don't know.

Using PL/SQL in Reports

Hi There
I want to use a store procedure in my reprt
the procedure have one in and one out parameter. My procedure is
my_procedure(dname in varchar2, cp_1 out varchar2) the in value is from database and out values store into place holder column and then displayed by field (data type is varchar2). Problem is if i use number data type for retrieval and display through place holder column it works fine but if retrieved value is of varchar2 type it doesn't work and gives me fatal error.
Another interesting thing it works for more then one rows if data retrieved is of number type and also work for varchar2 datatype but only display through single record parameter(if query return one row).

Where are you calling your procedure from? Can we see your code... calling trigger and procedure?

How to write a javascript function on a report column with type select list

I have a report with a select list column:
HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(22, "tablename"."PRIMARY", 'PRIMARY').
The value of primary can be null, yes, no. I want to write a javascript to achieve this: once the user changes one primary value to be yes, others with 'yes' will be changed to 'no' automatically.
Could somebody help me on this.
Thanks.
Jen

Thanks Patrick for your quick reply.
I created a dynamic action with the following steps, but the dynamic action is not taking place.
Event: After Refresh
Selection Type: Region
Region: Report 1 (my report name)
Then in the true action
Action: Execute Javascript SCode
Code: showHighlight();
I even tried to get an alert, but the dynamic action is not done at all. It seems the After refresh dynamic action is not working for a region.

Using PL/SQL to retrieve column names and column values

If I have a table as follows
Table A(
meal varchar2(32),
beverage varchar2(32),
desert varchar2(32));
and the table contains a row
meal beverage desert
pork chops iced tea apple crisp
Is there a way in pl/sql to retrieve the column names along with the values. I have an object type
DATA_DEFINITION_T AS OBJECT (
          "FIELD_NAME"          VARCHAR2(32),
          "FIELD_VALUE" VARCHAR2(32)
I need to store the column name in field_name and the column value in field_value.
So the result would be:
FIELD_NAME = meal
FIELD_VALUE = pork_chops
FIELD_NAME = beverage
FIELD_VALUE = iced tea
FIELD_NAME = desert
FIELD_VALUE = apple crisp
Thanks in advance.

Use of SQL Reporting Services in BPC (multi-server environment) - concept

Hello Experts,
I have the following scenario:
2 BPC application servers. Lets call them BPCA1 and BPCA2.
Load Balancer with virtual name BPCA
SQL 2005 database server BPCDB
Database server would hold BPC databases and Report Server database - requires 1 SQL Server license.
Each application server requires SQL Server Integration Services to be installed - 2 SQL Server Standard Edition licenses in my scenario.
Now, is Reporting Services a required component and needs to be installed on both application servers?
Because "scale-out" deployment for Reporting Services is only supported in SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Price difference between Standard and Enterprise Editions are quite sufficient.
So, can I install SQL Server Reporting Services only on BPCA1 and point BPC configuration to BPCA1 for all applications servers?
What is the use of SQL Server Reporting Services in BPC besides running Admin Reports?
Thanks in advance,
Akim

Hi RS is not required to be installed into db server or app server. It can be even an external RS server.
You are right if you will try to install RS in both app server you need Enterprise Edition because is required by Microsoft for RS web farm.
If you will install RS into database server then you don't need other license for SQL but if you will use SQL Server 2005 you have to install IIS into database server.
For many companies this broke some security policies and for this reason you have to install RS into appserver.
If you will use SQL Server 2008 then IIS is not required anymore and this is another plus in favor of SQL 2008.
Also SAP recomendations is to use SQl Server 2008 for SAP BPC 7.0 SP3 or later becaiuse the performances are better.
RS is used for:
Admin reportts. Audit Reports Journal Reports.
But without RS working you can have issue also with some Admin components not really just with reports.

Setting a Default Value in SQL Query Report

Hello:
We are using a SQL Query Report to provide a mass update to a table. We are using the apex.collection and having it display a number of records in a SQL Query Report for mass update. We have 14 columns in the report, for which the first 11 are populated via the collection. The remaining 3 are open for input but the individual making the updates. We've were able to provide a default value for 2 of the remaining 3 columns using a named LOV's - however the fourth column we would like to default a sysdate - but we are not successful.
We've attempted many things but none seem to work, including adding that column to the collection and assigning it a default sysdate value. We've also tried changing the settings in the report attributes --> Tabular Form Elements by setting the Display as to: Datepicker, Default type to PL/SQL Expression and setting the default to sysdate. We've also tried caputuring a date on the previous page and loading it onto the report page and trying to default the date column to a page item default.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
FYI - we are using version 3.2

use as default
to_char(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyy') where the format is your application or item date format

How to get JDev 10.1.2/ADF working with MS SQL Server Identity Column

Hello JDevTeam & JDevelopers,
I want to use JDev/ADF with a MS SQL Server 2005 database that contains tables employing IDENTITY Columns.
Using JDev/ADF and DBSequence with an Oracle database employing before triggers/sequences accomplishes what I am trying to do except I want to accomplish the same thing using a MSSQL Server 2005 database. Unfortunately I cannot change the database.
I have been able to select records but I am unable to insert records (due to my lack of knowledge) when using MS/SQL Server Identity Columns with JDev/ADF.
The following are the steps taken thus far.
Step1: Create table named test in the 2005 MSSQL Server (see script below).
Step2: Register 3rd Party JDBC Driver with JDeveloper; Using use Tools/Manage Libraries. Create a new entry in User Libraries with the following;
     Library Name     = Ms2005Jdbc
     Class Path     = C:\dev\Ms2005Jdbc\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
     (note: Latest TYPE 4 JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - free at http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/jdbc/)
Step3:Create New Database Connection;
     Connection Name = testconn1
     Type = Third Party JDBC Driver
     Authentication Username = sa, Password = password, Check Deploy Password
     Connection
          Driver Class = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
          Library = Ms2005Jdbc
          Classpath = C:\dev\Ms2005Jdbc\sqljdbc_1.0\enu
          URL = jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.151:1433;instanceName=sqlexpress;databaseName=test
     Test Connection = Success!
Step5: Create a new application workspace using Web Application default template
Step6: In Model project, Create new Business Components Diagram.
Step7: Create new Entity Object. Goto to connections/testconn1, open tables and drag table test onto the diagram.
Step8: Generate Default Data Model Components by right-clicking on Entity Object. Except all the defaults.
When I test the Appmodule I select the view object and can scroll through all the records without error. If I try to insert a record, I get JBO-27014: Attribute testid in test is required.
Going back to the EntityObject I deselect the Mandatory attribute and re-run the test. Now when I try to insert it accepts the value for testname but it does not update the PK testid like it would using an "JDev/ADF/DBSequence/Oracle database/before trigger/sequence" solution.
Going back to the EntityObject and selecting refresh on insert does not solve this problem either. Changing the URL connection string and adding "SelectMethod=cursor" did not help and changing the SQl Flavor to SQLServer produced errors in the Business Components Browser. I've tried overriding isAttributeChanged() and other things as well.
I am totally stuck! Can anyone provide a solution?
Thanks for you help,
BG...
Create table named test
use [testdb]
go
set ansi_nulls on
go
set quoted_identifier on
go
create table [test](
     [testid] [int] identity(0,1) not null,
     [testname] [nvarchar](50) collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_ci_as not null,
constraint [pk_test] primary key nonclustered
     [testid] asc
)with (pad_index = off, ignore_dup_key = off) on [primary]
) on [primary]

Figured it out!
When using the MS SQL Server 2000 Database with the MS JDBC 2000 Driver you specify the SQL Flavor to SQLServer. However setting the SQL Flavor to SQLServer with MS SQL Server 2005 Database and the MS JDBC 2005 Driver will *** fail ***.
When working with the MS SQL Server 2005 Database and the MS JDBC 2005 Driver you set the SQL Flavor to SQL92 and the Type Map to Java.
If using a named instance like I am you would specify the URL = jdbc:sqlserver://<db host ip address>:<listening port>;instanceName=<your instance name>;selectMethod=cursor;databaseName=<your database name> (note: leave out the < >)
The 2005 Driver Class is different then the 2000 and is specified as com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Note: In a default MS SQL Server 2005 installation the listening port will change *** everytime *** the host is restarted! You can override this though.
For the primary key you need to deselect the Mandatory attribute in the EntityObject editor.
Set Refresh on insert/update = no.
Set Updateable = never.
Now my Primary Keys which get their values from the Identity Column are working with ADF in a predictable way.
Simple enough but I have been away from this stuff for awhile.

Dynamic Sql In Report

Hello
Can i use dynamic sql in report builder , so as to allow user-defined reports .
Thanx
Shrikant

read in the help system about lexical variables (these are variables with & at the begining).
So you can define a query as select &P_1 where you get P_1 as a parameter.

Using CSS with Linked Report Field

I'm using the CSS Style width:150px on a report column that has a link. However, when using a CSS Style on linked column the formatting doesn't work. If I remove the link the width setting takes effect. How can I correct this? If I embedded the link URL in the query data it will format fine so there appears to be something different happen when Application Express generate the link.

When a report column is rendered as a hyperlink, the CSS style you specify is not used, that is used only for regular report columns.
Try putting your style as style="width:150px;" in the Link Attributes in the Column Link section (where you specify the other hyperlink details)

Tamplate based button in Report Column

Hi there,
Is there any way to put tamplate based button into report column. I have a "sliding doors" css button in my theme's CSS file and I would like to use in in the report column.
Thanks

Yes, I can set "Strip HTML to No" but how would I use my button template. I did create a button template under Apex and modifying theme css file, right now I would like to use this button in my report colum, basically this button will delete uploaded files from the table.
I took this idea to reate my button template: http://woork.blogspot.com/2008/06/beautiful-css-buttons-with-icon-set.html

Hi Gouranga,
According to your description, when you install the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint 2013, you find the files are installed into the folder for sharepoint 2010(..../14). Right?
In Reporting Services, Not all features are supported in all combinations of report server, Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint, and SharePoint Products. Please see the linke below:
Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2012)
As you can see in the link, the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in is only for Sharepoint 2010. This the reason why it's installed into the file for sharepoint 2010.
Reference:
Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products (SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013)
