What is Maximum No. of columns in APEX 3.2 Interactive Report

Hi All,
Is there any limitation on maximum number of columns in a APEX (3.2) Interactive Report page, I have a report containing more than 200 columns. I am tyring to add another 25 new columns and found this error msg: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I can add 5-6 new columns and it's runing okay but after that the msg. is coming.

A query 225 columns wide? Is that not a bit excessive? I can't imagine that being particularly user-friendly. Perhaps it might be worth considering some sort of master->detail type report with the relevant filters for content - that should give your users something a mite bit more manageable.

Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column Filter Issue

Environment: Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column header Filter Issue
We have developed an interactive report using Oracle APEX 4.0, which contains a record count of around 3,000 Rows. All the rows values are unique in nature. When we try to filter the same with the help of column header filter option available in the interactive report,We get only 1000 records.
Could some one help us, why this behaviour under APEX Table Column Header Filter as if it does not display beyond 1000 distinct values.
Is there a way or workaround on how to get all the records in the column header filter?
Thanks in advance.

Krish,
Interactive report has hard coded limit to display 1000 rows of column filter LOV for performance. Unfortunately, the limit cannot be changed. The workaround is to define a Column Filter LOV for the column instead of using "Default Based on Column Type".

Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

Hi,
I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero» is not working any more.
So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
It’s a good idea?
Thank you

Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
[url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
user = 'test'
password = 'test'
I have 2 questions :
(1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
(2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance.

How to know a table column name in HTML (Hyperion Interactive Reporting).

Hello,
I have a Hyperion Interactive Reporting dashboard section with an embembed table section on it.
The dashboard it will be open only in HTML.
I put the table as Active, so i can interact with her.
So, what I need to know now is how can I know the column name or number when I double click in one cell of the table.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance,
Carlos

Views don't have primary keys though their underlying tables might. You'd need to pick apart the view to determine where it's columns are coming from.
You can select the text of the view in question from user_views.

Apex logs and interactive reports

Hi everyone! This is my first post, so apologies if I sound like an idiot :). Anyway, my problem is as follows.
I'm on APEX version 4.0 (about to move to 4.1) and I'm trying to tie the APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG to the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view. So, here's my query:
SELECT
L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID,
R.INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID,
R.REPORT_NAME
FROM
APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG L,
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT R
WHERE
L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID IS NOT NULL
AND L.IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID = R.INTERACTIVE_REPORT_IDI don't get any returned values. The IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID column from APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG is, according to its description:
SELECT
comments
FROM
apex_dictionary
WHERE
apex_view_name like '%ACTIVITY%LOG%'
AND column_name = 'IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID';=> "Identifies the Saved Interactive Report ID foreign key to the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view"
and the INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID column from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT:
SELECT
comments
FROM
apex_dictionary
WHERE
apex_view_name = 'APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT'
AND column_name = 'INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID';=> "ID of the interactive report"
it seemed like the only ID column from that view that made any sense to join to. The return values from IR_SAVED_REPORT_ID looked like this:
9.67721361230999E15
9.90492074306116E15
[snip a few dozen rows]
and INTERACTIVE_REPORT_ID looked very similar (6.62360604127979E15, 5.94051162387204E15, etc.). Am I missing something here?
At the end of the day, all I'm trying to do here is make a metadata report on reports. Specifically, I wanted a report that told me which saved reports people were accessing, and how often they were doing it. I thought this was the way to go about it, but it seems I'm mistaken. I would appreciate any help you guys could provide.

Hi 910246, welcome to the forum.
Please update your handle to something more personal.
See if this query against the APEX views helps any:
SELECT apex_workspace_activity_log.apex_user "User",
       apex_workspace_activity_log.page_name "Page Name",
       apex_workspace_activity_log.page_id "Page ID",
       TO_CHAR (apex_workspace_activity_log.view_date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI PM')
          "Date/Time Viewed",
       apex_workspace_activity_log.rows_queried "Rows Queried"
FROM apex_workspace_activity_log, apex_application_page_ir
WHERE     (   :p315_user = '%null%'
            OR apex_workspace_activity_log.apex_user LIKE
                  '%' || :p315_user || '%')
       AND TRUNC (view_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE)
       AND apex_workspace_activity_log.page_id =
              apex_application_page_ir.page_id:P315_USER is based on a LOV defined by this:
SELECT username d, username r
    FROM (SELECT DISTINCT apex_user username
            FROM apex_workspace_activity_log
           WHERE TRUNC (view_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE))
ORDER BY 1Jeff

Control break on column displayed as link in Interactive Report

Hi,
If someone can help me, i'd greatly appreciate it!
I created an interactive report - one of the columns has a link attached to url specified in the Report Attributes/ link section.
When I use the control break feature in the gear icon, the report seems to be grouped by the url/link and not by the actual column value.
When I remove the link from the column - all is fine and the break does work.
This column must get displayed as a link. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Thanks,
Hindy

Hi,
I don't know the details of the procedure, but you would have something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "print_model_change"
v_acctnum NUMBER,
v_model VARCHAR2,
v_rrcode NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
.. DO SOMETHING WITH v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
END;This needs to be updated to something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "print_model_change"
v_manager_model NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
    v_acctnum NUMBER;
    v_model VARCHAR2;
    v_rrcode NUMBER;
BEGIN
    SELECT ACCTNUM, MODEL, RRCODE
    INTO v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
    FROM .. your report's FROM statement plus ..
    WHERE MANAGER_MODEL = v_manager_model;
    .. DO SOMETHING WITH v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
END;
END;and followed by:
GRANT EXECUTE ON "print_model_change" TO PUBLICto make it available
The existing code receives all the data it would need (presumably). The updated code receives the manager_model value and, using the same FROM clause that you have for your report PLUS a WHERE clause (or, if you are using a WHERE clause in your report, change this to AND), finds the data that it needs for v_acctnum etc. After it has that data, the rest of the existing code can be used unchanged.

Apex 4.0 interactive reports and images

To the community,
I haven't had a chance to do a decent search before bed, but I was wondering if anyone had links to good examples on OTN, someone's blog, apex.oracle.com etc, but I thought I'd put the question out there overnight.
I have a table that contains my blob/mimetype/filename information, and I'd like to create a sample interactive report that displays the image in the blob in all three formats - standard interactive report, using the icon view, and using the detail view.
Note I'm not referring to images that may be in the repository or file system - but within in a table.
For whatever reasons I was losing the battle this afternoon, I was just wondering if anyone knew of good concise examples, such as this for using images in form & classic report pages.
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Cheers,
Scott

I have finally replicated the solution, with the help of the following thread
Confusion with get_blob_file_src
found when searching "broken image" as one of the keywords.
Such a horrible and non-intuitive solution to get images displayed in an interactive report!
Hopefully the Apex team can work on improving this in future releases...

Changed column order not applied to interactive report

Hi,
I've changed column order for interactive report.
But it is not applied.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks,
Guy

Hi Guy
It depends on where you have changed the column order. If you change the column order using the 'Select Columns' function when you click on the 'Wheel of Magic', then it should work.
If you are changing the column order from the Interactive Reports Attributes page then this will only affect the column order for non displayed items and the single row view.
I hope that helps

Migration of apex 3.2 Interactive Reports tpo 4.0

I am currently involved with the update of APEX 3.1 to 4.0. Is it possible to have the user-saved IRs in 3.1 migrated to APEX 4.0? My understanding is that the users will lose their reports once the migration takes place.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
If you are upgrading then there shouldn't be any problems.
Only issue raised was when moving the app from one instance to another instance with different application ID's.

Apex 3.1, Interactive Report Row Text Search, image bitmap as TEXT?

I think this IR thing is powerful which could save me lots of time in development.
One question: does the row text search(default: all columns) treat image column as regular text(string)? I did the following search on:
SAMPLE APPLICATION-->Products, I put 300 in the search column( for $300 list-price search), the search produces 3 lines( should only have 2). the 3rd line's list price is $1999, I looked it in SQL*PLUS and saw its image bitmap (long string) includes a "300" inside, so I believe the "default all columns search" treat image as regular string.
How can I avoid the image bitmap search included in IR? This bitmap strings are very long for each image and can EASILY match searching conditions for something like PRODOUCT DESCRIPTION, PRODUCT PRICE for our products data( about 25000)? thanks
sean

Sean / Russell,
Thanks for reporting this, it's certainly a bug.
By the way, the search is performed in SQL, on whatever column values are being displayed (run the page in debug mode to see the full SQL). So in the case of the sample application, it is not matching the image bitmap, but the image size, which is selected in the SQL. The bug is that the full search should not include columns which have filtering disabled or one of the special image format masks. We'll try to fix this for an upcoming patch.
Thanks,
Marco

Formating column in Pivot Table (Hyperion Interactive Reporting 9.3.1)

I have a simple pivot table with multiple columns (8) and I have 6 different pivots. I drag the pivots into the report section, but none of the column widths or row heights align properly.
How do you size the column widths in each pivot and I'm trying to avoid auto-size because that does not get it right.
Thanks,

The 6 pivots are different because the rows indicate something entirely different. for example:
Pivot 1:
Row Label: Customer Gender
Column Label: Quarters (1-4)
Facts: Sales
Pivot 2.
Row Label: Customer ethnicity
Column Label: Quarters (1-4)
Facts: Sales
Pivot 3.
Row Label: Customer Age group
Column Label: Quarters (1-4)
Facts: Sales
Pivot 4.
Row Label: Customer City
Column Label: Quarters (1-4)
Facts: Sales
Then I grab each pivot and drag them into the report section to create 1 report.
A better solution?

Maximum no. of columns allowed in SELECT clause - Urgent please

Hi,
I am constructing SQL query dynamically in a stored proc. based on user inputs. I am getting following error when I have around 400 columns in my SELECT clause. FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY clauses are same eventhough I have 30 columns and I don't have any problems here. Can anyone please let me know what is maximum no. of columns allowed in a query. I am working on Oracle 9i Release2.
Thanks in advance.

ORA-01467 sort key too longIt's not the SELECT clause that causes this, it's most likely the GROUP BY clause. Basically, the columns in the GROUP BY clause have to fit comfortably within a single database block. Does that sound like it might be a problem with your query?

Maximum Number of Columns a ResultSet can support

Hi,
Can someone tell me what the maximum number of columns a result set can support? I'm using a cachedrowset to retrieve about 50 columns from a table and it seems to stop collecting columns after 33.
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks

Can someone tell me what the maximum number of
columns a result set can support? I'm using a
cachedrowset to retrieve about 50 columns from a
table and it seems to stop collecting columns after
33.
33 is a suspiciously low number.
Why do you think it 'stopped'? Explain exactly how you determined this.
What are the data types of fields 30-34?
Why do you think that the java program is actually getting 50 columns?
Finally in general everything in a computer is limited. However 33/50 would be significantly below normal limits for most resources.
