Using Set Break Order property

Hi,
I create a Break Group with one column in the Data Model
Open the Property Palette for the column and the Set Break Order property does not appear. However the Break Order property does appear and its values is asending or descending.
Here's the definition for this property in Report Bulder Help "The Set Break Order Property is whether to set the order in which to display the column's values, using the Break Order property". This implies that if the Break Order property is set to something other than NONE, the Set Break Order is Yes.
Another reference I have states " A point to be noted is that all break groups must have at least one column with the Set Break Order set to the Yes value".
My concern/question is in all of the documentation I have read both properties appear, but only one appears in my environment. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting to be change to make both properties appear? I am using Reports 6i, on Win2000 and connected to an Oracle 8i database.
Thanks in advance,
Audrey

Hi,
This looks to be a documentation mistake. From Reports 3.0.5 onwards, We have removed the Set Break Order Property for columns and just added
a "None" item to the Break Order property poplist instead. For columns which cannot be break columns, we do not even give the option of changing the Break Order from None to anything else. So just go-on desiging your Report with just one break order property, that is sufficient.
Thanks,
Rohit

  • Changing report order using the break order property

    I am trying to allow the user to pick the order of the report's data. This has lead me to ask the following questions:
    How can the break order property of a Database Column be set at runtime, specifically in the Before Report program unit??? (changing the order BY clause in the SQL query will not be sufficient because report builder enforces that at least one column�s break order in each Group, other than the lowest one, must be set at design time)
    How can the order of the Database Columns in a Group be re-arranged at runtime, specifically in the Before Report program unit???
    Thanks for any help that you can provide.

    Hi Kevin,
    I don't think that the "Break Order" property can be set programmatically, so it may not be possible to expose it to the users. I think it can only be an enhancement request to the product.

  • Is this Oracle Reports bug – "break order property" in "group above" report

    Is this Oracle Reports bug – “break order property” in "group above" report
    Could anybody confirm that in "group above" report, we could only order the brake column's values with ""none" or "ascending" or "descending" provided by "break order property"?
    In the following example, “Dept” is brake column. Oracle Reports allows us to order values in “Dept” with “descending” provided by “break order property”:
    Dept 30
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Dept 20
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Dept 10
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    or “ascending” provided by “break order property”:
    Dept 10
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Dept 20
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Dept 30
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    I need to do:
    Dept 20
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Dept 10
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Dept 30
    job ename salary
    xxx xxx xxx
    xxx xxx xxx
    Could I do this? Could anybody confirm that we could never ever do this, or If yes, how?
    Millions of thanks for advice.

    Why should that be a bug? You have a custom requirement and have to find a way to fulfill it. But, what is your actual sorting order? Do you have only this three departments? If so, you could add an addtional column in your query like
    DECODE(DEPT,  20, 1, 10, 2, 30, 3, 4) SORTINGput that column in the same group as dept and sort after that new column.

  • Dynamically changing break order property

    I have a report that has four different fields that the user can break on. Does anyone know how to dynamically change the break order depending on which field the user choses as a parameter.
    Thanks

    Alias the break columns.
    select &p_col1 break, col2...
    from tablename
    then send to the report the name of the break group column.
    The initial value of p_col1 should be set to 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' enclose in quotes. Take care at the length of the string. This is the only thing that determines the length of the field.

    Hello experts,
    Is there a way to disable node sorting order or in other word enable sorting in any order the user wants? There is no one particular rule that can be applied. I tried to create a derived Sort property and assigned it a value/formula of just 0 or 1. When I dragged a node around and tried to drop it as a sibling somewhere else higher up in the tree under the same parent, I got this message: "1: The server returned an error processing CopyNodes: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."
    Thank you!

  • Break Order overriding my ORDER BY clause

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a report in Oracle 6i where I am getting the ORDER BY clause at runtime. And in the datamodel query, I am using a lexical parameter to say, order by the column selected in the parameter.
    The problem am facing is, at runtime, the ORDER BY clause is being ignored by the report and it takes the column mentioned with break order property as 'Ascending' and sorts by that column.
    I am not able to set the break order property to None to all of the columns as the reports builder is erroring out asking me to have atleast one column set to Asc or Desc!
    Have anyone faced this problem before ? Is there anyway to get rid of this and make the report use by columns mentioned in the ORDER BY clause.
    Please note: I tried an explicit ORDER BY <columnname> in the data model query but still the report uses the break order value mentioned and sorts by that columns.
    Appreciate your help on the same.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    there's a simple rule how this works. For every query you have one or more (hierarchic) groups in the data model. For the lowest group the ORDER BY is choosen for sorting and for the groups, not beeing the lowest group, the BREAK ORDER is choosen (and vice versa ignored).

  • EPMA-Loading metadata using Interface tabes-Member sort order-Property?

    Hi,
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Version: 11.1.1.2
    Loading metadata for planning app in EPMA using interface tables.
    What property ( table , column) do I set to set the SORT ORDER for members within a dimension. I can arrange them manually by reordering children i nthe UI. The SYSTEM>sort order property does change manually after the metadata is loaded.
    Thanks.
    Edited by: user1658817 on Jun 26, 2009 9:06 AM

    Some more info
    I am loading members into Acount Dimension.
    I am using following tables as source tables.
    hs_account_hierarchy
    hs_account_member
    hs_account_property
    hs_account_propertyArray
    I use hs_account_propertyArray to load member Alias and member sort order.
    Alias loads rightly. Sort order is not taken taken into account at all while loading. The sort order after the dimension is loaded is Alphabetical.
    Sample records in my propertyArray table look like
    Property Name Key Value
    Order Common Stock Default 2
    Order Warrants and Options Default 3
    Order Additional Paid in Capital Default 4
    Order Cumulative translation adj Default 5
    Order Retained earnings (loss) Default 6
    In the Load profile, I associate this Order property with Order property for shared library.
    When the import is done, everything gets loaded properly, except for the SORT ORDER. The sort order is alphabetical. So the above members look like this
    Additional Paid in Capital
    Common Stock
    Cumulative translation adj
    Retained earnings (loss)
    Warrants and Options
    instead of being in the sort order mentioned above.
    Thanks.

  • How to use weblogic.Admin to set JMS ErrorDestination property on WLS 7?

              http://forums.bea.com/bea/thread.jspa?threadID=200036378&messageID=202187327&start=0
              We run the script against the WLS 7.0 server, script get 'OK' result but it didn't work (property wasn't set). Some error is reported in the admin.log on the server.

  • Break Order Attribute (Asc/Desc) in Reports

    Please forgive me my ignorance.
    I have a dummy column that I use to select another column into. I set the break attribute on it as ascending.
    Now my user wants it either way i.e. ascending or descending.
    Is there way to change the break order attribute to change sorting dynamically depending on inputs.
    Thanks in advance to all who reply.

    I was hoping that someone would know how I can modify the
    ORDER BY 1 DESC,27 ASC part
    The ORDER BY 1 DESC,27 ASC part is generated by break attributes. I would like to modify the "DESC" dynamically from within the report so I could change it as needed.
    I don't know if it can be done via one of the srw package functions... and if so, which one and how. That was where I was trying to go.
