I am setting targeting key-values via googletag. The final goal is to have such key-values in GAM reports.
This works with predefined key-values but it doesn't seem to work with dynamic key-values
On GAM I defined 2 keys:
a predefined one called a_predefined_key
a dynamic one called a_dynamic_key
key-values list
Client side I am setting both:
window.googletag.pubads().setTargeting('a_predefined_key', 'predefined_value_2');
window.googletag.pubads().setTargeting('a_dynamic_key', 'dynamic_value_1');
The 2 values appear in the cust_params:
https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?...&cust_params=a_predefined_key%3Dpredefined_value_2%26a_dynamic_key%3Ddynamic_value_1...
The report settings look like this:
Report settings
The result of the report only shows the predefined key:
report
How do I get the dynamic key-values to appear in the report too?
Thank you in advance!

I got an interactive report with a "collapsible" template.
When the table is empty there is an empty panel that takes up a lot of space. In Classic report this space does not exist when the table is empty.
I can't find a way that interactive report will behave the same way (we don't want to use Classic report).
I need a simple generic solution since we have a lot of tables.
The interactive report looks like this:
And I want it to look like this (as Classic report):
You could apply an after-refresh dynamic action that checks for the existence of the nodatafound area, and hide/treat the region in some way:
$(this.triggeringElement).find('.nodatafound').length == 1
Or you could apply a different amount of padding to the .a-IRR-noDataMsg class
.a-IRR-noDataMsg {padding: 5px;}
We have some tables in our database that all have the same attributes but the table is named differently for each. I'm not sure of the Architect's original intent in creating them in this way, but this is what I have to work with.
My question for all the expert Oracle APEX developers: is there away to create a reusable page that I can pass the table name to and that table name would be used in the reporting region and DML processing of that page?
I've read up on templates and plugins and don't see a path forward with those options. Of course, I'm new to webdevelopment, so forgive my ignorance.
We are using version 18.2.
Thanks,

For reporting purposes, you could use a source which is a function that returns a query (i.e. a SELECT statement). Doing so, you'd dynamically decide which table to select from.
However, DML isn't that simple. Instead of default row processing, you should write your own process(es) so that you'd insert/update/delete rows in the right table. I've never done that, but I'd say that it is possible. Basically, you'd keep all logic in the database (for example, a package) and call those procedures from your Apex application.
You could have multiple regions on one page; one region per table. Then use dynamic actions to show/hide the regions and run the select query based on a table name selected by the user.
Select table name from a dropdown or list
Show the region that matches the table name (dynamic action)
Hide the any other regions that are visible (dynamic action)
Refresh the selected region so the data loads (dynamic action)
If that idea works let me know and I can provide a bit more guidance.
I never tried it with reports, but would it work to put all three reports in a single page, and set them via an Item to have Server-Side Conditions that decide what gets shown in the page? You'd likely need separate items with a determined value for the page to recognize and display.
I know I did that to set buttons such as Delete, Save and Create dynamically, rather than creating two or more separate pages for handling editing of certain information. In this case it regarded which buttons to shown based on a reports' primary key being sent to said "Edit" page. If the value was empty, it meant you wanted to create a new record (also because the create button/link sent no PK). If said PK was sent (via a edit button/link), then you'd have the page recognize it and hide the create button and rather show the edit button.
I am trying to link a column from an Interactive Report to another Interactive Report in Apex 5. I want to set the filter in the later one with a value from the first one. I used a column of type Link then clicked on Target button to set the page number like this:
It doesn't work. I read there are other ways, I could use an URL link and build the URL to pass the parameters using a package but if I used this, how can I bind it to the link?
Normally you'll need to specify the operator to be used in the link - documentation:
Developing Reports > Editing Interactive Reports in Page Designer > Linking to Interactive Reports
Snippet concerning setting up a link:
To create a filter, use the following itemNames and itemValues syntax:
IR[region static ID]<operator>_<target column alias>
Consider the following example:
IR[EMP]C_ENAME:KING
Meaning that if you want to place a filter on your report where the column REQUEST_ID matches a given value, you'd need the equals operator syntax:
IREQ_REQUESTID:#REQUEST_ID#
However, using
IR_REQUESTID:#REQUEST_ID#
should also work, as the EQ operator is the default operator.
Also consider other issues: do you have more than one IR on the page? You'll need to reference the correct one. Is your generated link correct? Inspect it!
I found what was causing the filter not to work. I was trying to filter a column of type "link". It doesn't work when it's a "link", but it does when it's "plain text". So now you know. Here's how it's looking...
For me it works like this:
I created an Item (display only)(source type: null) on the second page with the second IR.
In the first IR in the Column Attributes set a Link Text and the Target and Page number (like you did already). In the Name part put your Item that you just created and for the Value put the column name in which are the values for your filter (like #Request_ID'#).
Then again on the second page with the second IR you will put something like this in the Region Source:
select REQUEST_ID,
REQUEST_NUMBER,
NAME,
FIRST_NAME,
COMPANY,
COUNTRY,
TYPE,
RQ_IS_ARCHIVE,
RQ_ID_TO
from REQUEST
where REQUEST_ID = :P20_REQUEST_ID
The :P20_REQUEST_ID is the Item that you created on that second page.
You passed the value from the Request_ID column from the first page in to the Item on the second page, there you used it then as a condition.
Hope this helps you...
I am trying to generate a report using Eclipse BIRT report designer.
The scenario is this:
There are 2 web service data sources. There are 2 datasets for webservices 'WS1' and 'WS2' respectively.
The output element 'COUNTRYID' of one webservice 'WS1' would go as input for another webservice 'WS2'.
What I did:
Created a parameter COUNTRYID.
Created a dummy Computed Column in the dataset of the web service 'WS1' with the expression:
params["COUNTRYID"].value=row["COUNTRYID"]
Now the input parameters for the 'WS2' dataset is related to the global paramter 'COUNTRYID'.
When I run the report, I see that the global parameter contains the value from the 'WS1' output.
But the report does not display the values from the response of the web service 'WS2'
My questions:
How can I see, if the webservice got fired or not?
How can I see, if the webservice got fired with correct values ?
WS1 is not fired unless it is explicitely bound to a report element. Typically, to achieve this we apply following steps:
insert a data element at the beginning of the report body
turn the property visibility of this new element to false (or let it visible during testing)
bind it to the first dataset WS1
It will force a silent execution of WS1, and therefore this will populate your parameter COUNTRYID before WS2 runs.
However this approach would not work if:
WS2 dataset has to be used to populate selection items of a report parameter (which does not seem to be the case here)
If COUNTRYID parameter is used at render time. This point is much more annoying, if you need this parameter in chart expressions for example. If so, i would recommend to store WS1 in a report variable instead of (or why not in addition to) a report parameter. See this topic to see how to create a report variable.
You can initialize it at the same place you did for the report parameter with:
vars["COUNTRYID"]=row["COUNTRYID"];
and use it anywhere with
vars["COUNTRYID"];
Report variables are available from the palette of expressions editor :
BACKGROUND:
We’re developing a custom application which access SharePoint through the Client Object Model and this application need to access ECT (external content type) lists defined in SharePoint using the OM (Object Model). This application is a product that should be usable with most SharePoint installations and configuration and cannot have prior knowledge of External Lists.
When there are no filters set up for the ECT, SharePoint returns all the available items in the list (given the number is below the threshold). The moment we define a filter for this ECT, SharePoint return only the items after this filter is applied (probably correct behaviour from SP).
PROBLEM:
We need to be able to search this ECT list (non-filtered) based on text entered by a user in a search box. At the moment there seem to be no way to change the filter SharePoint applied when returning the values to the calling object.
I.e. I have 10 items in my ECT list (1,2,3…10). Each Item has 3 columns (ID, Name, Description). After setting up a filter for the ECT list, SharePoint return items 2, 3 & 6 when I ask SharePoint for a list of items.
No the user does a search the matches the description of item 7. How can I search/filter the list to return the item that match my search query?
I’ve been running in circles trying to solve this, but nothing seem to work. I tried setting the CAML query as well as the LoadQuery as defined in both http://pholpar.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/how-to-query-external-lists-on-the-client-side-using-caml/ and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff464384.aspx but nothing seem to work.
Even I had this problem. Let me tell you there is no way of doing this.
Even in Server object model, there was an option to change the filters of the default view but then the SPList will return 0 items once the filter is applied.
The funny part is once your code runs & you open the list in SP UI, you can see the actual modified list. But the same cannot be queries in the object model.
Looks strange. I guess if you modify the SPList (ECT based) in this instance, then you can only get results in the next instance (like in next page refresh.....)
