• Open Reports Builder I. TABULAR - WIZARD

(1) Designing: Use the Reports Wizard (2) Create Web Layout only (3) Tabular (4) SQL Query:

SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME NAME, SALARY, JOB_ID FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE DEPARTMENT_ID= 50

(5) Displayed Fields: [Choose from Available Fields] (6) Totals: Ex. Count (Employee_id), Sum (Salary),..

Notes:

(1) Save Reports as .rdf file (2) Static Frame (Fixed): Contains all the Records that are displayed only

one time in the Report like Titles. (3) Repeating Frame: Contains all the Records that will be repeated in the

Report [Called from tables]

II. GROUP LEFT – WIZARD (1) Repeat Steps 1 & 2 Group Left (2) SQL Query:

SELECT DEPARTMENT_ID, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME NAME, JOB_ID, SALARY FROM EMPLOYEES

(3) Group Fields: Department_id (4) Displayed Fields: [Choose from Available Fields]

III. GROUP ABOVE – WIZARD (1) Repeat Steps 1 & 2 Group Left (2) SQL Query:

SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME,JOB_ID,SALARY FROM DEPARTMENTS D JOIN EMPLOYEES E ON (E.DEPARTMENT_ID=D.DEPARTMENT_ID)

(3) Group Fields: Level 1 Department_name Level 2 Job_id



2

TASK: Create a Report displaying Regions Countries Locations Departments Employees

Group Above SQL Query: SELECT REGION_NAME, COUNTRY_NAME,CITY, DEPARTMENT_NAME, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME NAME FROM REGIONS R JOIN COUNTRIES C ON (R.REGION_ID=C.REGION_ID) JOIN LOCATIONS L ON (C.COUNTRY_ID=L.COUNTRY_ID) JOIN DEPARTMENTS D ON (L. LOCATION_ID=D.LOCATION_ID) JOIN EMPLOYEES E ON (D.DEPARTMENT_ID=E.DEPARTMENT_ID)

IV. TABULAR – MANUAL (1) Build a new Report Manually (2) You will enter the Data Model View: Create SQL Query (3) SQL Query:

SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME NAME, SALARY, JOB_ID FROM EMPLOYEES

(4) Go to Paper Layout view a. Create a Static Frame b. Double Click on the Static Frame you’ve just created – opens Property

Inspector Vertical Elasticity: Expand

c. Put Titles [Emp_id, Name, Job, Salary] in Text items on the Static Frame d. Examine the Toolbar: Flex Off, Confine Off e. Create a Repeating Frame inside the Static Frame f. Double Click on the Repeating Frame you’ve just created – opens Property

Inspector Vertical Elasticity: Expand Source: Select the Group

g. Create a Field in the Repeating Frame under each title [This is where the columns will appear] – Property Inspector Source: [Select Columns]



3

V. MASTER-DETAIL – MANUAL (1) Create a Report manually (2) SQL Query:

SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME NAME,JOB_ID, SALARY FROM EMPLOYEES E JOIN DEPARTMENTS D ON (E.DEPARTMENT_ID=D.DEPARTMENT_ID)

(3) In Data Model View: Drag & Drop [Name, Job_id, Salary] into another Group (4) In Paper Layout View: Create the following schema

(5) Choose Sources: 1st Repeating Frame: Department_Group 2nd Repeating Frame: Employees_Group

(6) Create Fields and choose sources VI. DATALINK – MANUAL

(1) Create a Report manually (2) SQL Query(1):

SELECT DEPARTMENT_ID, DEPARTMENT_NAME FROM DEPARTMENTS

(3) SQL Query(2): SELECT DEPARTMENT_ID, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME NAME,JOB_ID, SALARY, EMPLOYEE_ID FROM EMPLOYEES

(4) In Data Model View: Create a DataLink between Department_id of Query(1) & Department_id of Query(2)

(5) In Paper Layout View: Create the following schema (6) Choose Sources:

1st Repeating Frame: Department_Group 2nd Repeating Frame: Employees_Group

(7) Create Fields and choose sources Note: The difference between Data-Link Master-detail is that DataLink acts like an outer join.

VII. FORM – WIZARD (1) Create a Report using Wizard (2) Create Paper Layout only Form (3) SQL Query:

SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME, JOB_ID, SALARY FROM EMPLOYEES

VIII. FORM LETTER – WIZARD (1) Create a Report using Wizard (2) Create Paper Layout only Form Letter (3) SQL Query:

XI. MATRIX – MANUAL (1) After creating the Matrix Report using a Wizard; (2) Go to Data Model:

Put job_id in a group with count, drag count from this group. Put a Cross-Product on Department_id, Job_id group.

(3) Go to Paper Layout View: Release (Delete) all Static Frames and titles and leave only the 3 Repeating Frames as shown:

ROW

COLUMN

CELL

Field

Field

Field

(4) This is: a) Create a Repeating Frame (Across) Column b) Create a Repeating Frame (Down) Row c) Select the 2 Frames and Layout-Matrix d) Create a Repeating Frame at the Intersection e) Horizontal & Vertical Elasticity: Variable

(5) Save this Matrix Layout as a template to be used when needed

XII. REPORT WITH IMAGE – MANUAL (1) Create a Report manually (2) SQL Query:

XIX. OPENING A REPORT FROM A FORM (1) Put Report.fmb into the Default Folder MyForms (2) Examine the When-Button-Pressed Trigger on the Push-Button

------------------------------------RUN REPORT---------------------------------------- v_state := run_report_object('Report_Name',pl_id); No need for the Parameter Part unless you are going to use Parameters

(3) From Forms Builder Object Navigator: on Report.fmb Create Report (4) F4 on the Report you’ve just created

Filename: Take the full path of the Report.rdf Report Server: Write the Report Server name Ex. “MyName”

(5) Run the Reports Server

RUN: rwserver server=MyName

(6) Make Sure that the repserver name in the Trigger is the same: VC_URL:='/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_state,LENGTH('MyName')+2)||'?server=MyName'; Note: Repserver must be run for Reports as OC4J for Forms
