Using #LOGO# in Apex 3.0 BI Publisher PDF

Hey gurus and guruesses [sp?]...
I have an Apex 3.0 application that uses a procedure call to get the logo pending on several factors about the user.
I want to be able to display the current logo on any PDF's that I'm generating using BI Publisher.
I can't find anywhere about how to use the #LOGO# substitution to get by logo into the PDF, as the #LOGO# substitution has all the logic in it already.
Alturnatively I need a way to get a value from my XML into the URL of the image - is there any way to do this? The procedure to get the image results in the image url being http://server:7777/pls/apex/SCHEMA.utils.displaylogo?id=[number]

Erm, thanks for all the help, but I've found a solution.
Images in the RTF document can have the 'web alternative' set to be the URL of whatever image you like, including the substitution of any variables within that URL.
This has solved the problem, kind of.
Is there any way to purely substitute the image in, or will it always replace the existing images, width/height values as well? We have many different sized logos, ranging from 65x65 to 200x65, so any smaller logoes get streched, or larger logos get squished.
Ideas?

Publish a plsql code as webservice without using JDEVELOPER or APEX

Hi All,
I am looking into how can we publish a PLSQL code as web-service without using JDEV OR APEX.
When I google for this one I can see only by using JDEV or APEX we can publish Code as a web-service.
Is there any way in oracle, just by using simple PLSQL packages we can publish code as a webservice.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
MK.

Apex does not publish PL/SQL code as web services. It is a web run-time and development framework. Something totally different.
To turn a PL/SQL function into a web service is simple. You use the orawsv servlet in XDB - without making a single code change to the function. It will not even know it is called as a web service.
To use orawsv, two basic steps. Configure and enable the servlet (raw HTTP/HTTPS connections will be handled by the Listener). This also entails enabling shared server in the database, if not already enabled. The 2nd step is to allow the function to be executed (via a HTTP call) as a web service, via granting specific roles.
orawsv handles the HTTP call. It provides the WSDL. It parses SOAP envelopes as input. It makes the call (as a standard PL/SQL call), to the function being used as a web service. It returns the results of the PL/SQL function call, as a SOAP envelope output.

APEX integration with BI Publisher

I am attempting to integrate our APEX applications to BI Publisher and replace our Oracle Reports.
We are using
APEX 4.0 .2.00.07
BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4
IE 7.0.5730.13
I setup a simple report query in APEX shared components. The report query has only one source query. I pressed the test report button and the default BIP report came up successfully.
I then created an rtf document using Word 2003 and the BIP plug-ins. All I did was create two fields on the rtf and saved the report on my desktop as a .rtf.
I then created a report layout in APEX and imported the .rft report layout successfully.
I pointed my report query to the new .rtf layout and pressed the test report button and it work successfully.
I then created a button as “redirect to URL’ on an APEX page and created the http: url with the suggested print URL in the report query.
I ran my APEX application and went to the page with the report button. I clicked the button and the report came up fine.
I had another colleague sign into the APEX application and when he pressed the report button on the page all he got was a black browser window. We tested with other colleagues and got mixed results. Some got the report to appear others just a blank page.
We tried the query in both inline and attachment view with the same results.
What was interesting is that everyone was able to run the report within the report query clicking the “Test Report” button.
We are out of ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank

Frank,
I had the exact problem when I uploaded and replaced (with the same name) an existing rtf template.
Try the following:
Rename the template and generate a new url to use in the button click.

How to use 2 vo's in xml publisher pdf genarate report from oaf--urgent

Hi Guru's,
i am integrating xml publisher report from oaf. I found one good artical published by prabaker in apps2fusion site and i implemented the same. But it is used onley one view object to generate pdf. But in my case i want to use 4 view objects to generate report as pdf. So, kindly suggest me how to resolve this issue.
below i mentioned the site name whihc i follwed to implement my requirement.
http://apps2fusion.com/at/51-ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework.
pls help me as i am not getting , how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Keerthana

Hi,
When we develop simple XML report also we used to get single data source either generated either from RDF or PL/SQL, in OAF XML data is coming from VO and XML Publisher API’s will process that data.
This approach works fine if you are having one VO, but if you are having two VOs then it is not possible (As per my understanding and comparing this scenario with simple XML publisher report).
I also faced same problem few months back, on my form I was having two VOs one for header and other for Lines and I have generate Report to show the data for both Headers and Lines. In my case I created a separate VO that was containing both Header and Line details and I was passing header Id to query that. I used query this VO only when someone clicks on “Print” button and it worked fine for me.

Using JQuery with Apex

Hello, I have a question for those of you who are using JQuery with Apex:
This is my HTML header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="&WORKSPACE_IMAGES.jsapi.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");
</script>
The problem is that JQuery still loads from Google and since the Company Intranet has the cookies blocked the privacy icon appars in IE. I am sure somebody will one day notice this and it's gonna be a "big" problem.
I suspect that something must be changed below to make the privacy icon dissapear,
if (!window['google']) {
window['google'] = {};
if (!window['google']['loader']) {
window['google']['loader'] = {};
google.loader.ServiceBase = 'http://www.google.com/uds';
google.loader.GoogleApisBase = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax';
google.loader.ApiKey = 'notsupplied';
google.loader.KeyVerified = true;
google.loader.LoadFailure = false;
google.loader.Secure = false;
google.loader.GoogleLocale = 'www.google.com';
Any ideas how to change this code and if this is going to work?
George

Hi,
If you do not like use jQuery from Google, discard your code
<script type="text/javascript" src="&WORKSPACE_IMAGES.jsapi.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");
</script>and use e.g. this guide to integrate jQuery to your Apex apps

You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:

Can I use css3 in apex 4...database 11g xeIn APEX all presentational aspects of an application (including font size) are controlled using a combination of (X)HTML and CSS via themes and templates. You need to have an understanding of these web technologies to make best use of APEX. If you're not familiar with them you're advised to get at least a basic understanding by spending some time on the tutorials here: start with HTML, then XHTML, CSS, Javascript and the HTML DOM.
CSS3 features can certainly be used in your APEX themes and applications. Any problems are not likely to arise there, but in whether these features are supported by the browsers/versions used when running them. These sites may be useful in determining whether it's worthwhile for you to use CSS3 to implement a particular feature:

http://caniuse.com/
Using progressive enhancement techniques will allow you to introduce CSS3 features for browsers that do support them while still making applications accessible in those that don't.

I have captivate 6, I´m using Quizers part and I need to publish file .app in .ipa, what do I have

I have captivate 6, I´m using Quizers part and I need to publish file .app in .ipa(ipad), what do I have to do to make it run in native way, that is without internet conection?

Hi!
That's an interesting question you have raised.
I would recommend you to create your Captivate Project, Publish it to HTML5 output and Zip the Output Package,
Use the PhoneGap to package it for iOS devices and produce .IPA file for the same .
You can create an account here -- https://build.phonegap.com/
I haven't tested it yet, but, I'll do it today.
Let me know if this works out.

Using wwv_flow_load_excel_data and apex collections

Hi!
I have a question regarding very popular subject: parsing csv files.
I made one application, which takes csv file, parses it using Vicas's code, presents validation report to the user, and finally allows to submit data into the datatable.
Everything works fine, but I don't like this solution. CSV can cause problems when quotation mark is used inside, when numbers have 1000 separators and so on.
Besides that, I have to add some code to validate column types. Lot of mess.
The solution incorporated into apex tool, called "Data Load/Unload" looks much better. It would be nice to use that inside apex application adding some business validations, and hardcoding table and columns names.
I have seen wwv_flow_load_excel_data package and I'm wondering if it is possible to use load_excel_data procedure to perform that task?
Is there any documentation to that package?
Somebody heard about using that with apex collections (to avoid a need of temporary table)?

Can I use PERL in APEX

Hi All
can i use PERL language in APEX? is it gud practice to use PERL in APEX?
Thanxs

You can use PERL, in so much that you can forward on the user to a PERL application and have that PERL application take in the session + cookie and check it for validity in Oracle, but as far as interactivity between PERL and APEX, it would be either on the level of Web Services style access (one calling the other through web services type Http calls) or possibly running PERL code at system level with something like dbms_scheduler, were it to be for a background database task of some sort.
My question would be what exactly do you need to do in PERL w/ APEX?

CorelDRAW X4. Published PDFs don't open properly. But they used to.

Hi everyone. I am having a problem while publishing a PDF from CorelDRAW X4. It used be ok for a long time, but one day something went wrong. After opening a published PDF file I see only a blank page zoomed to an enormous percentage value (e.g., 6035%) and the it says "there was an error reading this document (14)" .You cannot see anything but you can still import the PDF back into Corel and see the content. Unfortunatelly generated PDFs are useless. I am using different versions of Reader on a few computers. Everywhere is the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what happened ?

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

Hi,
I have used in some of my reports.
Before developing reports with Barcode, there are few setups to be implemented.
1. Install Barcode fonts.
2. Install Oracle Reports Barcode PLL library.
3. Call below function in your query.
idautomation_uni.Code128(<column_value>, 'TRUE')
For complete information, you can refer below link:
