Reports & Discoverer :: Access To Multiple Business Areas?
May 5, 2011
I have been asked to see why a sister company cannot access multiple business areas through a single responsibility. At present, if they log in through a GL responsibility they can see all GL folders, items and the returned data. If they then go to the AP business area, they can see the folders and items, but when they run a report they get an error message 'Query returned no data' - but if they run the same query using an AP responsibility they get the correct results. I have looked at their user set up, and it seems fine i.e. has access to all business areas and required priveledges.
I am adding a parameter to the parameter form of existing reports based on a select statement and has two columns. That part is fine. However, Oracle reports is adding a dash between the two values. Still fine, but I am also adding a UNION with ALL in case the user wants to run the report for all values. In the Parameter form it looks like this:
ALL - RBC - 111 RRG - 234 TEB - 445
How do I get rid of the dash for "ALL" since I did not physically add it? Below is my select statement for the parameter I created:
SELECT code, code_num FROM codes WHERE code_num <> 0 UNION SELECT 'ALL', ' ' FROM dual ORDER BY 1;
I am generating a report/invoice. I want to print three copies of one report, one copy for consumer and one copy for bank and one copy for my official use. All three copies should have proper table,
I am using: Desktop / Discoverer 4.1 / Windows XP.
I am attempting to add a new calculated column and have had some success with the CASE function but need to add additional criteria.
What I have that works is:
SUM(CASE WHEN Expenditure Type = 'Supplier Rebates' THEN Total Spend Plus Commit ELSE 0 END)
What I need to add are a few additional criteria. I attempted and failed with a few variants of this:
SUM(CASE WHEN Expenditure Type = 'Supplier Rebates' AND Capitalizable = 'Y' AND Task Owing Company = '534' OR '915' THEN Total Spend Plus Commit ELSE 0 END)
The three criteria points that I am looking to includea are:
•Expenditure Type = 'Supplier Rebates' •Capitalizable = 'Y' •Task Owing Company = '534' OR '915'
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 . . . .
I studied a document about lexical parameter in that it says "Lexical parameters are used to substitute multiple values at run time and are identified by a preceding '&'. Lexical s can consist of as little a one line where clause to an entire select statement"
Select * from emp, deptno &where.
and i know about substitution variables using & is this are same (lexical and substitution) or different.
Actually I have one query which contains two parameters from_Date and To_date.
if user pass the values for the parameter like 1-dec-2010 to 30-dec-2010 query will works fine and it fetches the values according to the query selected. but now I am going to add one more parameter, the value is 01-apr-2010 now my query should run for 01-apr-2010 to 30-dec-2010.
Here my question is how should I make this scenario with only one query and at the same time the query should work for to scenarios.
i encountered a big problem after upgrading Apex from 4.1 to 4.2.2. On an application page there is a Text Area which will be read and processed after clicking a button. I didn't want a refresh of the page and did it with a dynamic action.All this worked like a charm with 4.1. Since the upgrade, the value of the Text Area is always returned as null while processing the dynamic action, but the value is filled by the user!When i change the type of the Element to Rich Text Area everything works fine, but i don't want this because i don't want HTML in the corresponding table. Is this a bug? How can i workaround it?
Is it possible to link to Discoverer Viewer from Forms without requiring the user to log in again. If so, can I then link to a specific Workbook within Discoverer?
When running my query in sql developer, I have to execute the command apps.fnd_global.apps_initialize(user_id, resp_id, resp_appl_id) in order to show the result of my query. Without this, the query returns nothing. The problem is I am using this query as a custom query for my Discoverer report and my report does not show any record.
I need to copy my discoverer report from dev to prod. How should I do this? Are the items created using calculation in the report can also be copied? These items are not present in the folder in discoverer admin.
My user would like to have a way to attach files to database records. For simplicity, we'll say that each employee in the database could have 0-many file attachments associated with them. I know how to make this part work using Oracle Forms.
So that's the easy part for me. The tough part is that they want to be able to run an Oracle Report on our application server (displays as a PDF, also downloadable as a PDF) and have links on this report to the attachments that they uploaded using the forms process above.
For the idea of storing the files on a folder somewhere, I simply created a text object on the report that had it's hyperlink property pointing to the file location. Done.. opens fine.
However, I want to be able to have the option of storing these files in the database instead, just in case we can't go with the shared folder idea. I'm not sure how to make this work. I can store a blob in the database.. but how do I link to that blob on the report for them to be able to download it? Is this even possible?
how to create a download link on the Oracle Report that let's them download a file out of the database.
I have a doubt; can we format a particular word in oracle reports at runtime..?
Ex:-
A text filed contains data Quote:We request #BANK# to finance the same Bill as per agreed interest rate and other terms and conditions agreed on the above addendum and immediately remit the proceeds to our account A/c no. #ACCOUNTNO#, held with your Bank.
We need to make #BANK#, #ACCOUNTNO# are bold at runtime, Is there any method to format characters at runtime..?
Currently some jobs created in WBT scripting need to converted into oracle,plsql.There is one job in WBT scripting, which will invoke the oracle reports inside and generate the PDF files in the destination path as follows:
a = runhide("c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe", "http://pscm9722:7778/reports/rwservlet?USERID=%LOGONINFO%+server=rep_pscm9722+destype=file+desname=D:ORACLE10G\%CCALLRptName%+desformat=PDF+PARAMFORM=no+report=PCCALL.RDF") a = runhide("c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe", "http://pscm9722:7778/reports/rwservlet?
[code]...
Now, i want to convert this into oracle,plsql? Is it possible or not?

I migrated a Oracle 6i Report to Oracle Report 9i so I'm trying to execute a this report in the Run Web Layout, but this doesn't bring me any information, how can i run this reports in the Web layout?
When i run this report en the Paper Layout it's bring me data. When a run the report just bring me a blank web page.
We have a reports proces which we want to produce a report where the browser windows doest not display, or if it does, quickly closes after the report is completed.We are using Forms Version 10.1.2.0.2, Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0, OS is Windows XP Pro SP3
We have tried the below, but the primary application window closes, not the report server window. - http - removed due to form message:You cannot use links until you have posted more than 5 messages.
We have modified the forms trigger to produce the report as shown below, but get the error: FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the Report Server
Current theory is the connection to the database is lacking the user id and password since the cmdkey is not specified. How can we specify the cmdkey when using the run_report_object?
I am creating a report which generates the data to a PDF/CSV based on users Input.When I create the report using Report Builder and execute the report,Delimited data appears in a PDF layout.
But if I add the below code in After Parameter Form trigger,the column headers keeps repeating with the data.
function AfterPForm return boolean is begin IF :P_DESTYPE = 'CSV' THEN :MODE :='DEFAULT'; :DESFORMAT:='DELIMITED'; Elsif :P_DESTYPE = 'PDF' THEN :DESTYPE := 'CACHE'; :DESFORMAT:='PDF'; END IF; return (TRUE); end; [code]....
But the PDF output seems fine where the header is shown only once.I could see many posts regarding this in Oracle reports 6i wherein delimited_hdr=no is used in Command Line but I would like to know the work around in Oracle reports 10g.
Any way to automate a job to execute several Oracle Reports to run at the end of every month and either email them to a list of people or possibly save them to a location on a network drive.
At first, I started out with 2 avenues of thought:
1) The following link raised the option of an Oracle Scheduler, but from my research, the scheduler only runs database jobs, shell scripts, batch files, etc.:
[URL]......
2) I was thinking about possibly creating a database job of some sort to call the reports, but from the following link, I've determined that one cannot create+call a stored/database procedure to run Oracle Report files. So there goes my second hope.
[URL].......
So, it appears that the scheduler won't meet my requirements and now I think I'm almost out of options.
My last resort is creating a database job that queries required information and spooling the data + various formatting "stuff" into a txt file. Then, that txt file would be my report. This seems a little savage and I would like to think that there's a ay to automatically run an .REP against a database and save an electronic copy of the report somewhere.
Is it possible to automate the execution of Oracle Reports and then saving the report in a particular format (xls/pdf/rtf/etc.)?
i have created a report in dis report i created bind parameters..how to capture these parameters into a table(for this i hav created a new table) means if i pass delivery_id at runtime
i need to insert this value into what ever i hav created table next time if i pass same value i need to update that record where should i write dis code in a report and can any one send script for this.
In my requirement i have to move a field from bottom to the first page of report. I try to drag the field but i think it's in multiple frame .i am very new to oracle how can i work with multiple frame in layout wizard.
I could not connect the reports builder to the database. Im trying to connect it to the XE database. I checked the tns names and the hosts. Everything seems to be fine. But still when i try to connect the report it throws an error "ORA 12541- tns no listner"..
