Post Report filter functions Reply with quote

Is it possible in the front-end filtering
options of a report to have multiple criteria
based on the same field?

something like this? It's valid Oracle syntax
however the tool throws an error
"expecting TRUE/FALSE expression"

text like 'ACTION%'
and text not like '%BACKUP%'
and text not like '%CONNECT%'
and text not like '%backup controlfile%'
and text not like '%dbms_stats%'
and text not like '%analyze%'

We need some way to filter out all of the
extra lines created by loading the SYS
audit trace files into the database on the
User Activity Report (SYS Admins).
Thanks

You can use the following in the report side filter after you retrieve the data:

text like 'ACTION%'
and (text not like '%BACKUP%')
and (text not like '%CONNECT%')
and (text not like '%backup controlfile%')
and (text not like '%dbms_stats%')
and (text not like '%analyze%')

You can also export report to a file, for example, an Excel file, and apply filters there

You can also run a direct query in the database and use Oracle SQL filters in the query.

I tried this and got the same error
though - is this in version 3.0 maybe?
I've just implemented version 2.7 and looking to
upgrading now.

And we have tried some of the other options,
which are great to have.
I'm just trying to keep this all in one
tool to minimize how much hopping around the
people who produce & look at the output have to do.

Thanks!

I just tried that and found it working when every part is in brakets

(text like 'ACTION%')
and (text not like '%BACKUP%')
and (text not like '%CONNECT%')
and (text not like '%backup controlfile%')
and (text not like '%dbms_stats%')
and (text not like '%analyze%')

Hope this helps.
