A sub-report is simply a report composed of its own JRXML source and compiled in a Jasper file. Creating a sub-report is very similar to creating any other report. The margins of a sub-report are usually set to zero for sub-reports because a sub-report is meant to be a portion of a page, not an entire document. The horizontal dimension of the sub-report should be as large as the element into which it is placed in the parent report. There are three steps to creating and adding a sub-report: • Create a report – Create a parent or master report that will contain the sub-report. • Create a sub-report – Create and compile a sub-report. Optionally create a dynamic connection to filter the records of the sub-report based on the parent’s data. • Add the sub-report to the parent report – Insert a sub-report element and specify the following: o The data adapter or data source for the sub-report. o The location of the sub-reports compiled Jasper file. o An optional parameters map (it can be empty) to set the report parameters used in the dynamic connection. DataTerrain with years of experience and reliable experts is ready to assist. We […]

You would see lot of tables in Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud, but you might wonder what is the purpose of the tables that end with the following suffixes such as _ALL, _TL, _VL, _V, _F, _VL, _A and so on.

These tables provide multiple language support. For each item in the table without _TL there can be many rows in the _TL table, but all with different values in the LANGUAGE column. • _B tables are the BASE tables. Data is stored in the table with all validations. It is supposed that these table will always contain the perfect format data. • If anything happens to the BASE table data, then it is a data corruption issue. • _F tables are date tracked tables, which occur in HR and Payroll. These table will have the two date columns – EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE – which together with the primary key identifies a row uniquely. • _V tables are the views created based on the base […]
