  • How to use sys_context in form

    i would like to need info about
    how to use sys_context in form
    for getting value in variable

    I don't know what you mean by "terminal name". If you want to get the user's IP address, you can create a stored function (or create a package, and include the function there), that returns the USERENV sys_context variable. Here is how you create a function on the database:Create or replace Function IP_Address return varchar2 is begin
      Return sys_context('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS');
    End;
    /Now, you can use the function from a SQL select, another procedure, or a form. Here are several examples:
    In SQL:Select IP_Address from dual;In a form:Message('IP Address='||IP_Address);

    Regards
    Shahzaib ismail

    If you want to save only pictures in BLOB column, you can do it directly in forms, without using a procedure
    When you create a block based on a table, BLOB column is automatically displayed as <image>.
    Use following code to select the image you want to save.
    declare
    filename VARCHAR2(256);
    begin
    filename := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'All Files (*.*)|*.*|');
    READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'ANY', 'BLOCK_NAME.COLUMN_NAME');
    end;
    When you will commit the data in form. your image will be saved automatically.
    Hope it helps

  • How To Use Recursion In Forms?

    I have the following table
    Table name: Project_Details:

    Project_num Number(6) PK
    Project_Title
    Project_status
    Parent_project_Number Number(6) FK (It’s a foreign key for the project
    number in the same table)
    Am using the Oracle Forms Builder to develop the following screen with the following data
    Project Number: ……….
    Parent Project Number: ……..
    Childs Projects:
    I have the following case that I don’t know how to implement:
    Example:
    The user create the following Project Numbers
    Project number: 100 >>> Original or parent
    New project 105 >>> Child of 100
    New project 107 >>> Child of 105
    New project 109 >>> Child of 107
    So when the user re query 100 the Childs project filed should have 105,107 and 109 as a recursion of parents as shown below.
    Screen Result:

    Parent Project Number :

    If any body has any idea in how to implement this idea using oracle forms and SQL please help me. Its urgent..
    Thanks in advanced..

    Hmmm, looks like you can't update a connect by prior view. That's a shame.
    Anyway, here's what you need:
    CREATE TABLE test
    (child number
    ,parent number);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, null);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (2, 1);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (3, 1);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (4, 2);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (5, null);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (6, 5);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (7, 6);
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (8, 5);
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test_hier_vw
    AS
    select lpad(' ',2*(level-1)) || to_char(child) hier
    from test
    start with parent is null
    connect by prior child = parent;

  • How to use an Interactive form in a CAF Application service operation ?

    Hi,
    I have a peculiar requirement here:
    The user wants that on the trigger of a specific operation an operation of the Application service should get invoked: this operation should pick up a Adobe form template from a destination and then prefill this forms with some values and then store the same in the backend DMS.
    It's very easy to accomplish this task in WD Java with the use of Interactive form element but here we don't want any kind of user interaction for these forms, just the form templates will be prefilled with some dynamic values and then the same will be saved as is.
    Can some one please provide some insight into how the same can be acieved, any API's etc?.
    Please reply ASAP.
    Regards,
    Manish

    Hi Manish,
    If I get you correctly then you want to Upload a prefilled Adobe IF from some location without any user interaction and save it to some Backend/Temp storage: You need to have something like you have a user inbox and mail comes to this with the Adobe Form as an attachment, you extract the attachment and read it using available Java apis for reading. You can also specify a particular folder where you can place the filled form and then read it using FileInputStream and can save it in the backend after you have it in binary form in your application.
    Hope this helps!!
    Cheers,
    Arafat

  • In portlets, how to use a html form passing  values to the another page?

    it is well known that in web developing , we have two methods to pass values to another page.<!--
    1. passing values
    2.<form action="nextPage" method ="post"></form>-->
    but how to use two methods in oracle portal portlets?
    I have got a simple example which submit two values to the page for itself, means a page has a form with submit botton, user input the form with values and then submit them by submit botton, then the page recevice those values and show it .

    Hi Moonsoft,
    I have already answered this query in the other post at Re: how to link more than one links in portlet?(jsp develop)
    <form name = "showPageForm" method = "POST" action = "<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormActionLink(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK) %>">
      <%= UrlUtils.htmlFormHiddenFields(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK, "showPageForm") %>
      <input type="text" name="param1">
      <input type="text" name="param2">
      <input type="hidden" name="myPPN" value="/htdocs/page2.jsp">
    </form>then in your jsp code on page2.jsp, you will extract the parameters by specifying
    <%
      String p1 = request.getParameter("param1");
      String p2 = request.getParameter("param2");
    %>
    >>this is easy common jsp or asp development, but in oracle is too diffcult!!!!
    :-) .. there is a difference between web-applications and portlets, you just need to get used to it once. I hope this does clarify your doubts.
    thanks,

  • How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

    Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
    The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

    Depends on your deployment pattern.  You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed.  If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

  • How to use an infopath form field in the designer workflow

    Hi,
    I need to send an email to a person field from Infopath form. Can i access it in the workflow. If not, is there a way i can send an email on form submission from within the infopath form.
    Please help. Thank you.

    Hi Prajk,
    There are three ways of achieving it, one i will say its pretty straightforward and covers the basic of Infopath Forms Development
    1)Populate Fields From Infopath Form at the time of Publishing.
    The moment you done with your form and to publish you click FIle>Publish>SharePoint Server >Enter the Url of Site> Then Click Next twice upto a point where wizard asks "The fields listed below will be available as SharePoint Columns" ,
    Click Add, select the placeholder in myfields for Person Field , expand the "person" group field and choose "AccountId", give the name to column(this will be SharePoint List Column Name) and for function select "first" and then
    click next and Finish.
    And use this field in Designer Workflow to send email.
    2)Second way is to write VSTA based C# code on click of your  Submit action on the form and upload and activate this form on form library via Central Admin.
    3)Now other way of doing this is via Event Recievers.
    Every infopath Form is an XmL File so on ItemAdded event you can extract its content and implement email sending c# code there:-

  • For the same table in the same page, how to use 2 different forms (simple and tabular)?

    Hello! How I can be on the same page with the same table insert and update operations using 2 different forms (single form and tabular form)
    I have little knowledge of Apex, but I know PLSQL
    Thanks

    Thank you Gramps.  It took some time, but I've got it working now.  I had to re-do all the user authentication actions from scratch for one of the databases, but it's finally behaving itself now.  I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

  • EAV modelling approach on database tables and how to use it in Forms Dvl

    Hello,
    I am dealing with two tables in data modell which are structured on EAV ( Entity-Attribute-Value ) modelling approach.
    Survey( Survey# number not null,
    Start_Date_Of_Survey date not null ,
    End_Date_Of_Survey date null,
    Sts_Of_Survey varchar2( 4 ) not null ,
    Contractor_Partner# number not null, -- reference foreign key, to Partner's Table
    Survey_Report CLOB ) ;
    Survey# primary key of Survey.
    Meta_Survey_Parameter_Register( Parameter# varchar2( 40 ) not null,
    Additional_Parameter_Desc varchar2( 240 ) null,
    Type_Of_Value varchar2( 60 ) not null,
    Data_Type varchar2( 10 ) not null,
    Unit varchar2( 10 ) null,
    High_Value varchar2( 20 ) null,
    Low_Value varchar2( 20 ) null );
    Type_Of_Value Is restricted to : ATOMIC_VALUE, INTERVAL_VALUE_FROM_TO
    Data_Type is restricted to: Date, time, number( X,Y ), varchar2,
    Unit is varchar2 value not resstricted: for example: %, kg as kilo, m as meter, m/s as meter per second, null
    This table is meta table so it suppose to be used as some register - static part of the schema.
    Then I have table which attaches Parameters to the Survey as the association table
    Survey_Parameters( Survey#, Parameter#, Value, Comment );
    Primary key( Survey#, Parameter# );
    I need to implement this in Forms and Reports.
    My question is how to implement it to maximally make good use of Oracle forms 10g or 11g features and Oracle Reports 10g:
    a) when fulfilling the survey and use of parsing rules supplied in Meta_Survey_Parameter_Register
    b) at the producing as the survey report with reports
    c) in data analyisis in data warehouse impementations.

    Hello Craig,
    Thank you Craig for your answer.
    I must confess that I am also not familiar with EAV theoretical background and concept. Till recently I even did not know that this kind of problem could be placed
    in theoretical background called EAV. This put smile nad releive on my mind. Because since this moment I do not feel this kind of problem as some exception or
    some exceptional tools or data design ( object modelling and object databases ) suppose to be used. This way I can still counted on concepts in RDBMS databases
    and applications. Well I guess so.
    Let me comment and answer on your text between your lines.
    I am only conceptually familiar with EAV modeling, so I don't claim to be an expert! ;-) Given the abstract way in which data is stored with EAV, I would suggest that you first create a SQL Query that will produce the desired record set.
    Ok. But I guess you have in mind to transform vertical set of values to horizontal ( pivoting, transposing )?
    View has cast operator that transform data type of each parameter from general ( e.g. varchar2 ) to the one that is registered in the
    Meta_Parameter_Register. This way it is provided to get the survey with the list of assigned parameters in horizontal shape?
    Once you have this, you can either use the Query as the source of a Database View and then base your Forms data block on this view or you can use the query in a Procedure and base your Forms data block on the procedure or lastely, you could use the query directly and base your Forms data block on the query using the "From Clause" option.
    Ok, I think I understand it.
    So When I have horizontal list there is challenge during
    - insert
    - delete
    - update
    operations how to handle these operations to transform to vertical operation.
    This could only be done with Forms data block based on procedure and instead of triggers?
    The simplest option would be to create a DB view and base your block on the view. You will not be able to update the data however. If you need to be able to change or add new data, I would suggest you use a Procedure based block. Take a look at these links for additional information on using Procedure and From Clause based blocks.
    Ok Craig, sounds like it makes sense.
    IT seems your suggestion is caling for some simpler example with the same characteristic of the problem.
    Like two tables:
    Master( Master#, ..... )
    Detail( Master#, Detail#, value_low_or_just_value, value_high, data_type )
    Forms: How to base a block on a FROM clause Query
    Forms: How to base a data block on a Procedure
    Ok,
    Hope this helps,
    I see your point and it makes sense , it is only the challenge to see how much of flexibility I can reach and how cheap workarounds are to preserve
    the level of flexibility in the tools that are not naturally supporting EAV ( like forms and reports ).
    If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.
    Sure...
    We are on the line.
    I am sure there is someone else in the community that experienced this kind of challenge.
