Application Express :: Printing BI Reports For Charts
Nov 21, 2012
I am using "Function Returning SQL Query" (as query is dynamic) to draw the bar chart (flash).
I am facing some issues while trying creating a BI report for this chart.
Issue is : In Shared Components -> Report Queries : Its only expecting an SQL Query.
Do we have any ways to define a "Function Returning SQL Query" over here ? Note that, If using a static SQL both charts / BI reports are working fine with out any issues.
I am building an application to edit database data through interactive reports. I would like to add a button to open a pdf file of the report, where the user can save or print it. I tried going to Shared Components>Report Queries and then create. I went through the steps but when I get to the end where it says "Test Report" I get this error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified
What can i do to fix this, or is there an easier way to do this?
I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.09
This app will be distributed to other computers if that makes any difference.
I just upgraded from APEX 4.1.1 to APEX 4.2.2All is good, but I can't create pie charts. Pie Charts never worked for me, but I waited until 4.2.2 to try again. Still will not work. I imported the workspace from my previous APEX version,so something must not be set correct in my workspace. I can create the pie chart on apex.oracle.com
Here's my info:- Application Express Version: 4.2.2- Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production- OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9- WebLogic 10.3.5- Apex Listener 1.1.3.243.11.40
I need to create a Radar Chart, this kind of chart isn't avaible on APEX then, I should buid it, I have found some models of this chart, but I'm not getting sucefull when I try to use the data from my database.
I have a requirement create graphs, charts and maps based on data from a data warehouse (dw).
As I see things, there are two possibilities: Graphs, charts and maps based on an XML fileGraphs, charts and maps based on Oracle tables Both would contain small data sets that will allow for quick response.
The intent of these graphs, charts and maps is to generate a dashboard that would allow the user to quickly drill down to the desired warehouse data. The proof of concept has already been validated using the Oracle table scenario.
My question is whether or not this could be accomplished reading xml files for generating the same set of dashboard items? My Oracle database and APEX environments configuration are as follows:
NLSRTL 11.2.0.1.0 Production Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1.0 64bit Production PL/SQL 11.2.0.1.0 Production TNS for Solaris: 11.2.0.1.0
I just upgraded my APEX 4.0 application to 4.2, and ran the utility to upgrade my charts to HTML5. After completing the upgrade, I noticed my charts no longer displayed in the region.
I am currently using IE9 to view the application, since that's the browser over 90% of my users have. Is there something more I need to install?
whether the overlapping Multiple series charts are possible in Oracle APEX or not .
I am trying to create two graphs for two data sets , one as marker and another as line , but its giving me issues such as
1) X axis is taking all the points of the first series suppose( 1,5,10,180) itsplotting these first . and its then starting labeling the x-axis for another one which has values like (20,50,100,1000,15000)
so my X-axis is now ---> 1,5,10,180, 20,50,100,10000,150000
In case i make my marker chart series as the 2nd sequence , then its drawing all the markers on the right side of the chart .
I'm using APEX 4.0, and i don't have access to BI Publisher for printing.
That needs to print off customer address labels. I have a pl/sql query that gets the customer name and address and puts it into mailing address format. Ex. Mike Smith 555 Oracle Dr Los Angelas CA 40455
When i try to print from the browser, it prints really bad with the URL, page numbers etc.
These will actually print out on label paper, and they will be cut and used accordingly.
What i tried so far:
Manipulating the print CSS:
This worked slightly in Firefox, but doesn't work at all in Internet Explorer
Tried adding a third party friendly print button to the application. This doesn't work
I would even be ok for these to print to a PDF or RTF format to download then print off, but i don't have BI Publisher.
I'm using APEX 4.2 and trying to export some classic reports to PDF. I followed these directions to install BI Publisher: URL.....Entered these values in the Apex Administration Report Settings section:
Print Server: BI Publisher Print Server Protocol: HTTP Print Server Host Address: URL.... (also tried with localhost and failed) Print Server Port: 9704 Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert
Back in my Classic Report, I configured these settings in the Print Attributes tab:
Response Header: Report Settings (also tried with Print Server and failed) Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:7:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R7671716059006280
I'm getting this error: report error: ORA-20001:
The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.I have never configured PDF printing this way and am pretty lost.
I'm attempting to configure printing via the APEX listener and I'm struggling to understand it. I currently use Oracle HTTP server as the web server for APEX. I have installed the APEX listener and configured it. If I connect via the APEX listener, PDFs work correctly. If I connect via the Oracle HTTP server, I get an error with PDFs. Am I required to connect with the APEX listener for PDF printing? I thought I could configure APEX listener for PDF printing on the backend and still connect via Oracle HTTP server. I'm use APEX 4.2.3, APEX Listener 2.0.5, and Oracle DB 11.1.0.7.
I followed the directions to print a report using this documentation [URL]....where I setup a report query and a report layout and then add the url to a button that when clicked opens up the report in my chosen format. This all work very nicely. However, I need to update the table behind each record that gets printed and I cannot figure out how to couple the print request and an update process in APEX.
I have been learning to create pdf report with Apex 4.2 and BI Publisher 10 which I have been successful with. Now I like to learn how to create pdf reports using FOP thinking of the customers who will not spend money on BI Publisher. I have gone through the documents and procedures described in Java 4 Less.[URL] and [URL]. Configured Apex instance setting accordingly.
For default layout a tabular pdf report is created. I have created an xsl-fo file named Formatted_report.fo on same query and xml file from report query with BI Desktop. But when I try to print a formatted output with Formatted_report.fo report layout it does not work(J4LFOPServer ). but same layout with .rtf template works fine (BI Publisher Print Server).

I'm developing now in 11g and i have some reports that i want to send directly to the printer. I been having some troubles and as i searched the web, i saw that for 9i and 10g, this was not possible without using orarrp. But i can't find any info about this for 11g. Is this true that i can only let user print direct using this tool? Plus, is this tool available for linux x64? Can i add the printer to the server and would it work now?
I have developed few reports for ebusiness suite in various sizes as 8.5 * 8.5, 8.5*11 and 8.5 * 12.My OS is Linux Red Hat 8.5 and the printer is Epson LQ 300. All the reports are TEXT and I am facing a printing problem to print in various sizes as we need to print all these reports by using a single printer.I created different print queues with the default paper sizes as above mentioned to print the reports, but the printer never considers any specified paper size and always printing for the default A4 size of 8.5 * 11.
how to display data in tabular format but the printing direction is down/cross? I managed to change set printing direction but the column header is not showing on the cross section.
I expect:
Header1 Header 2 Header1 Header2 John India Max Singapore
But it displays without header name on the next part.
Header1 Header 2 John India Max Singapore
And also is that possible for matrix query to be printed in down/cross direction like above?
By setting the parameters in set_report_object_property parameters we can disable the printing option in 11g. Do we have some kind of option , to do the same in 10g.
I just want to ask that can we code number of pages to be printed before printing the report?
Like if we use report builder software of oracle to print a report, this will ask that how many pages you want to print and no of copies you want to make for this report as normally asked with other software before printing.
Actually, I am stuck with a complex query report where every single page has different query to execute. The problem with my report is that when ever user prints the report, the last page comes empty with the page header, no data in it.
What I want is to code, if possible, to print the report avoiding the last page to print. So that every time I can able to control printing pages. For example if report has 10 pages and definitely has data on 9 pages then it can only print up to 9 pages rather than going to print 10 pages.
Can viewing and direct printing the report become same? I always find some differences not in the data but the layout of the report. the layout of report that is viewed on the monitor through internet explorer is slightly displaced and small fonts compared with the report printed directly to the printer without viewing it on the screen.
I am trying to create a report, but for the second page its trying to print the text from the middle of the page, i.e its cutting half line, suppose if the line has description 'HELLO WORLD 123456' I see only 123456, the whole report is cutting the first 15 characters for the second page?
I am using oracle developer suit(form 10g), Using OLE2 object to initialize excel, On "BEFORE REPORT TRIGGER" i am printing report heading in excel using OLE2 objects only. if i run report from developer suit report builder it give output in excel normally and what expected but when ever i put same report on server and run report from application it gives error :
so i will give 10 invoices with dates in the above parameters to generate the report, actually the report prints in a pre-printed sheet, well it prints the first page correctly but the second page and continuous pages not printing in the exact pre-printed area. example see below;
(Page2) 506176 28/11/2011 (Preprinted text)INVOICE NO : INVOICE DATE:
how to give spaces between pages actually every pages it should print 3 to 4 inches gap between the first page but it prints just one inch above the preprinted area. how to make it print without gaps. Additional Information: Preprinted sheet Height 17 inches.
Paper Layout Width 8.5 Height 12
Character Mode
Report Width 80 Report Height 72
for header section, main and trailer sections above readings only given.
I want to print two record of emp table in same line number in tabular format report.
For example if i have emp table and I want to print empno,ename,sal columm only,In tabular format report, Two record should print per line. so If emp table have 14 record report should be printed on 7 rows.
so the output in print preview should be like this
EMPNO ENAME SAL EMPNO ENAME SAL ------ ---------- ---------------------------------------------- 7369 SMITH 800 7499 ALLEN 1600 7521 WARD 1250 7566 JONES 2975 7654 MARTIN 1250 7698 BLAKE 2850 . . . .
1) I am able to view the oracle report in PDF format in my Web Application, but when I tried to print this PDF on Line matrix printer, the characters are not printing rightly.
2) Can I take report output as a text file and and print it through DOS mode printing.
I have a requirement while A4 printing..When printing each time user have to select file -> page setup -> size(A4)..THEN printing format become A4 Size. How to achieve this one without user have to go on setting.
