HCM Processes & Forms: Field not updating after Drop Down list selection

Hello all,
I am having a problem that I think happens a lot, but I can't solve it through all the examples given here.
I have a Drop Down List where I change the value. On the CHANGE event, I have:
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "GET_ORGINFO";
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
I have defined a User Event called GET_ORGINFO. It gets triggered fine. It moves into my generic service that I defined, and it changes the value that I want to change.
When I look at the PDF, the value is still in it's old value. So, after reading some blogs, which specifically says, if something goes wrong in one service (I have 3: my own, SAP_PA and S_MGRS_POSITIONS), they all fail. I debugged and checked, and, after some changes, nothing goes wrong anymore, nothing that I can see anyway.
So what I do see, is that there's a call made like this:
CALL METHOD me->process_data_container
    EXPORTING
      ref_to_data_container = ref_to_relevant_data_container
      operation             = c_do_operations
      message_handler       = dummy_message_handler
      no_auth_check         = no_auth_check
    IMPORTING
      is_ok                 = operation_ok.
Within this method, my new value is listed (in the table VALUES_OF_FIELDS). After this call is made, so when it exists the method process_data_container, the old values are back in VALUES_OF_FIELDS.
So, at the last moment INSIDE the method, the values are correct, as soon as it steps out of this method, the old values are back.
Does anyone have any idea? Am I doing something wrong with regards to the User Events? I am on EnhP 04.
Gr,
Jaron Frenk

Hey Chris,
Unfortunately, that's not it. I did check the fields I need. Everything is going ok. As in, I get the fields (with their current values) in my own generic operation. I see everything updated the way it should. But then at the end, nothing happens...
What exactly do you mean by " then make sure your own generic service has it's input/output defined correctly". What input/output do you mean? I assume the generic service itself is okay, since it works with the user event "USER_EVENT_CHECK". And it sure is possible I am forgetting something in the definition of the user event, but I can't figure out what.
A small addition*
I just checked by user event. I have 3 fields selected:
I0001_PERSG
I0001_PERSG_TXT
I0001_PERSK
The generic service should get the PERSG and PERSG_TXT based on the PERSK that is entered. I don't think I need anything more.
Gr,
Jaron

TextBox does not update when drop down list selection changes

I have drop down list the user can select a client name from. Once the client is selected and the "view report" button is clicked it the report has a textbox that displays the Client name or it is supposed too.
The report will display the first client name but any subsequent client name does not display on the first. I am pretty sure that is because I have chosen the "Dataset" where the both the "values' have "first" in front of the field.
How do I get the textbox to update to match as each client is chosen from the drop down list? I cannot use the report "parameter" I am passing to the stored procedure because the drop down list's parameter is the database name not the client
name.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sue

Okay, sorry but I am just getting back to my report. I still cannot display the Client Name in a text box at the top of my report. The textbox must be dynamic because my client name can be one of many that is picked from a drop down list box.
I added a textbox and tried to use the "join" with my Parameter - clientname.
In the textbox expression I used the following:
=JOIN(First(Fields!ClientName.Value,
"GetDatabaseName"),",")
I got this error message:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun Textbox1.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0] contains an error: Overload resolution failed because no Public 'Join' can be called with these arguments:
    'Public Shared Function Join(SourceArray As String(), [Delimiter As String = ]) As String':
        Argument matching parameter 'SourceArray' cannot convert from 'String' to 'String()'.
    'Public Shared Function Join(SourceArray As System.Object(), [Delimiter As String = ]) As String':
        Argument matching parameter 'SourceArray' cannot convert from 'String' to 'Object()'.
Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
I also tried setting up a "filter" on the clientname using these instructions
Right-click the dataset (GetDatabaseName) to open the Dataset Properties.
Click Filters in the left pane, add a filter like below:
Expression:[DBName]
Operator: In(multiple-parameter) or =(signal-parameter)
Value:[@DBName]
I get an error message too which I am not even going to display.
I can set it up and run it as long as I don't want to change the value in the "textbox" to match the value in the drop down list. I am totally frustrated at this point. Why won't it work?
Simply put - I want the value selected in my drop down list box to match the value in my textbox at the top of my report if drop down list says "Susie" then I want "Susie" in my textbox or if drop down changes to "Bobby" then I want Bobby to show up in my
textbox when I generate my report.
Any suggestions of what else I may need to try?
Thanks for the help.

How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

Has anyone done this?

My area is not on the drop-down list?

just applied for skype number but my area is not on the drop-down list can't get any further until I choose something from the list, what do I do, just pick the nearest area?

Hi, ladyfromllan, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, you are correct: you would need to choose a Skype Number nearest where you ultimately wished to have your Skype Number located. Ultimately, the number would be best situated so that those who call it the most would not incur toll charges; however, that said, Skype Numbers are not available absolutely everywhere for several legitimate reasons.

Elaine

New process form field not showing in previously provisonned user's process

Hello,
I added a new field to my AD process definition to map a new attribute (division) and made that new version active.
I created the needed process task and pre-populate adapter so that this field is being provisoned upon crete and update in target resource.
I also updated the TRIGGERS lookup to fire the process task upon update.
Works fine so far.
I now have a major problem : previously provisioned users still show the "old process form" and have no "division" field available. Therefore, when I update the division field in the user definition, it fires the process task but that task cannot write to the process form field. Am I stuck for these users with this old process form?? Can I update to the new one (obviously, revoking and re-provisionning is not an option since I DON'T wan to delete the user account even for a few seconds...)
Thanks for your help.

To update your previously provisioned users to your new form, you must use the Form Version Control Utility. There are a lot of posts within the forum about using it. Here's a link to the Oracle documentation to learn more about the utility.

Lookup field not rendering like drop down in New Item form

Hi
I have been making a page to add new item to a list, for this i am using new item form.
I am having a two lookup fields in that list of which one contains more than 20 items and other only 3.
My first problem is that first lookup renders as a text box ONLY in IE 9 mode(nothing appears even when you click on the down arrow), but when I change the mode to IE 8, the rendering changes to a textbox + ajax + filtering list instead of the simple drop
down list control.
BUT FIREFOX AND OTHER BROWSERS RENDER PROPERLY AS A SIMPLE DROPDOWN.
I have read several blogs about this, but could'nt find a simple solution.
Anyone has any idea on this?
thanks!

We had the same issue in our environment and we made use of jQuery to resolve the issue. The idea has been taken from SPServices.codeplex as mentioned by Christophe, but extends it in a way with few changes to make it work in our environment for each instance
of this drop-down in the entire web application.
$("input[class='ms-lookuptypeintextbox']").each(function
columnName = $(
this).attr('title');
OverrideDropDownList(columnName);
// Main Function
function OverrideDropDownList(columnName) {
// Construct a drop down list object
var lookupDDL =
new DropDownList(columnName);
// Do this only in complex mode...
if (lookupDDL.Type ==
"C") {
// Hide the text box and drop down arrow
lookupDDL.Obj.css(
'display',
'none');
lookupDDL.Obj.next(
"img").css('display',
'none');
// Construct the simple drop down field with change trigger
var tempDDLName =
"_" + columnName;
if (lookupDDL.Obj.parent().find("select[ID='"
+ tempDDLName + "']").length == 0) {
lookupDDL.Obj.parent().append(
"<select name='" + tempDDLName +
"' id='" + tempDDLName +
"' title='" + tempDDLName +
"'></select>");
lookupDDL.Obj.parent().find(
"select[ID='" + tempDDLName +
"']").bind("change",
function () {
updateOriginalField(columnName, tempDDLName);
// Get all the options
var splittedChoices = lookupDDL.Obj.attr('choices').split("|");
// get selected value
var hiddenVal = $('input[name='

']').val()

"0") {
hiddenVal = lookupDDL.Obj.attr(
"value")

" selected='selected'" :
lookupDDL.Obj.append(
"<option" + selected +

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7
Cheers

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

JSP HTML parameter form to call report - Dependent drop down list

I have a report parameter form developed using HTML & JSP to call oracle reports6i.
First parameter "STATES", Second Parameter "CITY"
I have a master-detail relation betwen STATE & CITY table.
I want the parameter form drop down lists dependant. ie if the user chang STATE value in the first drop down, the second drop down list CITY shoud
change automatically.
Please help
Thanks
Vimal

Vimal,
This is not functionality that's available in the Reports generated parameter form. In order to do this you'll need to build the parameter form yourself as a true HTML form and code the javascript to link the fields.
Hope this helps,
Danny

LMS 4.2.3 variable name not show in drop-down list

Hi all,
I am trying to use performance threshold to trigger a script whild device CPU or Memory high.
There is a default threshold template called "CPU Utilization" and "Memory Utilization".
After I choose either one, there should be one or two variable name in drop down list.
But I only see "Select MIB Variable" in the list.
I try to create a template with exact the same variable but still got nothing in the list.
The strange thing is that no all the default template has this problem.
I can see variable name under some template like "Device Availability" or "Port Availability"
And this is not browser problem because I try both IE and Firefox.
Any one how to solve this?

Thanks for your advice.

Lotus Notes Missing in Drop Down List for Calendar Synch

Hello there,
   A) I am attempting to synch my blackberry tour with my calendar in Lotus Notes 8.5.2. I was able to previously synch my calendar when I had Lotus Notes 8.5.1, but since our upgrade to 8.5.2, I get an error saying it could not find a supported version of Lotus Notes.
B) When I try to go in and configure the organizer section of the desktop software, there is no option for the drop down list for Lotus Notes. I have tried uninstalling, rebooting and then reinstalling (based on info from other posts), but none of that seems to work. I have checked and all the connectors are there, but for some reason, they are not being recognized. Is there some specific key or file that intellisynch is looking for to know that Lotus Notes is installed on the machine?
Now, I am assuming A&B are symptoms of a common problem, but I am at a loss as to how to move forward. Any ideas on how I can get this software to recognize Lotus Notes? I appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks,
Rick

ODBC driver does not appear in drop down list

We created a system DSN using Unix ODBCConfig and the drivers
supplied by IBM in its iSeries Access package. We are trying to
connect to our AS400. We now have Coldfusion installed on SuSe 9.3
Open Enterprise Server. Coldfusion runs fine. When we try to add a
data source in the ColdFusion administrator, the system DSN driver
that we configured does no show up in the drop down list. Did we
miss a step? We have done this succesfully with coldfusion on
Windows 2003 server.

What version of ColdFusion are you running? I know with MX 7,
your individual DSNs may not be listed, ODBC or otherwise, only the
driver types. You are prompted to provide a valid Data Source name,
then to select a valid driver type, which in your case would be
ODBC Socket.

Adapter Engine NOT in the drop-down list - RFC adapter, Communication Chan

Hello XI Experts,
I recently installed IDES (ERP2005) along with XI (NW2004s). I carried out the post installation steps for XI. I set up XI (technical systems, business systems, etc).
I have started to create an RFC to File XI interface. I have carried out the necessary steps in the Integration Repository and am now setting up the scenario, etc in the Integration Directory.
I have reached the stage of creating the communication channel of type RFC for the sender system. However, when I do this, the adapter engine is empty i.e. there are no possible entries in the drop-down list. I was expecting to see "Integration Server" as a possible entry.
Could someone advise me on what I may have missed which leads to this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Nicholas.

Hi,
You have to get the SWCV from SAP market place.
Support Packages and Patches -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER 2004S -> Entry by Component -> Content PI/XI
XI CONTENT SAP_BASIS 7.00 / 6.40
You have to upload the file in the Integration repository
Best regards
