'Order by' in a parameter - in AfterPForm trigger..? in a Data template..?

Arrrfternoon all.
As title confusingly asks.. Has anybody put an 'order by' parameter into their data template either by the use of a trigger or by some other way..?
As one or two have may have guessed by now, I'm a newbie to BIP with no training but am learning fast..
In ORACLE Reports 6i I'd stick the order by in the select statement, named it in the Conc Program 'token' and have the details that the user can choose from (if...then...else'd..) in the AfterpForm section.
If the above still applies (and from the example data templates I've seen - it does) then all I do is call the AfterPForm trigger in the data template BUT, where do I write and place the actual PForm trigger (that includes the if orderby = 'empname' ...then..)..?
thanks for reading..
Steven

OK, I've now created my data template that includes a reference to the trigger.
I've also created my package Header and Body - but the question still remains.. How do I now include the Package Header & Body when the Data Template is being run..? How is it referenced? If I just run this data template in my BIP'd Concurrent Program surely it'll just say 'whats the trigger you've mentioned - where is it..?'
Basically, I don't how this hangs together at all. Can someone please help me out here?
Many Thanks for looking..

Report Trigger Code in Data Template

Hello all,
I've inserted a report trigger into a data template and created the required function in my database. Everything works as expected.
My question is, is there any way to write the report trigger within the data template? Given the choice, I'd rather have the trigger code embedded within the data template itself rather than existing in a separate package.
I've found no examples of this, but I just wanted to confirm that it can't be done.
Thanks.

No,
The code to be executed by trigger will be a PL/SQL package, and it will reside in DB only.

Pass parameter to DB trigger

Hi All
I wanted to pass a parameter to DB trigger via forms 6i. Please explain me how to do it.
Thanking You
Regards
Lakmal

Lakmal, Forms does not 'talk' to DB triggers. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve.
A database trigger does not accept parameters - other than the :OLD and :NEW values of the table/view to which it is attached.
If you want to influence the behavior of a trigger you will need a some kind of DB function in your trigger.
As an example, we use a function to determine if the trigger should fire.
if pkg.fire_db_trigger(:new.column_x)
then
do the DB trigger code
end if;

Return what ? IS IF UPDATE (Column_name) parameter in a trigger definition will return TRUE ?

The IF UPDATE (Column_name) parameter in a trigger definition will return TRUE in case of an INSERT statement being executed on the triggered table:
Which option is correct ?
a. YES
b. NO
c. It returns TRUE only if an UPDATE query is executed
d. Both b and c

See MSDN: UPDATE() (Transact-SQL)
"Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether an INSERT or UPDATE
attempt was made on a specified column .."

Date Parameter : Unable to retrieve data thru data template

I have a data template with a date parameter. I used it in a query to extract records for a specific date. No matter which format I use in the query, the query returns a null although there are records. Please advise. I need this as soon as possible.
<parameter name="PD" dataType="date" />SELECT to_char(run_date,'DD-MON-YYYY') C_RUN_DATE ,cust_action ACTION,count(1) ACTION_COUNT from CDL hdrlog where
last_run_status='A' and to_char(run_date,'DD-MON-YYYY') = :PD group by to_char(run_date,'DD-MON-YYYY'),cust_action
order by c_run_date
I tried with to_char, to_date etc... nothing works.
thanks
J

See example below for date,note the format we supported as state in the doc.
If you would like to set as character then change type to character and use to_char around the bind var.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>

EBS: Email XML publisher output, from After Report Trigger in Data Template

Here is what I'm trying to do:
-- In EBS (11.5.10 CU2), I'm using XML publisher (5.6.2) data template and layout template to generate Output files (PDF, EXCEL etc)
--In the Data Template's AfterReport Trigger, I'm using the Concurrent Request Id to locate the Output file name and trying to Email that output file.
Problem:
-- When the AfterReport trigger code is executed, the code is NOT seeing the output file and hence the file is NOT emailed.
Observations/Questions:
-- From what I observe, the Output Post Processor ( that generates the Excel / PDF files) is running AFTER the code in AfterReport trigger... and hence the AfterReport trigger is Not quite seeing / able to access the output file.
So, the sequence of execution seems to be:
-- Before Report Trigger
-- Data Query (SQL statement)
-- After Report Trigger
-- Output Post Processor
Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
If Yes, how else can the DataTemplate access the Output file?
If No, what could cause the AfterReport trigger to not see the output file?

Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
I believe so, as the OPP works on the output of the Report after the Report has completed execution.
You could use the same approach as we do for bursting the report to different users. Write a Java Concurrent program based on "oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp. XMLPReportBurst" with delivery channel Email to send the email output. You would need to add code to launch the Concurrent child request in your AfterReport Trigger:
function AfterReport return boolean is
jreq_id number;
begin
srw.message (100, 'DEBUG: AfterReport_Trigger +');
jreq_id:= FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST ('XDO','XDOBURST','','',FALSE,:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID,'Y',chr(0),
If (jreq_id=0)
then
srw.message (100,'Request id is zero');
end if;

Pass request id as parameter to XMLP data template?

I want to be able to use the request_id of the concurrent job in the sql of a data template.
I have tried adding a parameter:
<parameter name="P_CONC_REQUEST_ID" dataType = "number" defaultValue="0" />
so I can then do:
<sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef=""><![CDATA[select 'Hello '||:XX_NAME||' '||to_char(:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID) WELCOME from dual]]></sqlStatement> for example.
In reports6i this parameter gets populated automatically at runtime. Do I have to do anything extra to get this to work with XDODTEXE?
thanks for your help

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your suggestion, that worked a treat.

Hi Rani,
I see one issue in the Q2 with the where statement:
and pv.segment1=(pv.segment1=:VENDOR_NUM or pv.vendor_name=:VENDOR_NAME)
the right one should be
and pv.vendor_id = :VEN_VENDOR_ID
the variable VEN_VENDOR_ID you have to select from the first query Q1. Add here after select
pv.vendor_id VEN_VENDOR_ID,
Regarding the other question about the data types, well, number and varchar2 is fine, perhaps char also, but go with varchar2 instead.
One last note: you should not mix uppercase and lowercase, keep it clear and structured, check your element names and values.
Best Regards
Volker

How to pass simple parameter to XSLT from BPM 11g Data Association

Is it possible to pass a simple parameter to an XSLT from a BPM 11g Data Association (11.1.1.6.0)? Here is why I asked. I have a transform that I want to reuse across two service activities in the same process. The only difference is one integer ID value between the two activities. (Happens to be running an IPM saved search, each with a different ID.)
I tried mapping the ID value in the Data Association dialog, in addition to the XSLT mapping, but didn't work. Or is there another method I could use to reuse this transform (besides just copying it as I've done for now)? Thanks.

If I understood your scenario, the point is: you always have to pass the same dataObjects as parameters to the XSL, but you can change the values of them in an association step before the transformation.
Lets see if the following can fit your needs:
1) your project has three BusinessObjects: "SearchParam", "CommonData" and "Result"; and five process dataObjects:
- "search1", "search2" and "search" of type "SearchParam";
- "commonData" of type "CommonData";
- "result" of type "Result"
2) your XSL has "result" as target and two sources: "search" and "commonData"
3) In some part of the process flow you have a scriptTask with:
- a data association from "search1" to "search";
- a transformation with "search" and "commonData" as parameters
4) In other part of the process flow you can use the same transformation, but using the data from "search2" as parameter, adding a scriptTask with:
- a data association from "search2" to "search";
- the same transformation with "search" and "commonData" as parameters
In this scenario you are reusing the same XSL file only changing the values for one parameter.

How can I view photos on the iPad in order of the name of the photo instead of the date the photo has been taken

On the PC I edited the "file"names of photos in a photo-album, so that the photos are in a logical order after the file names. When I synchronise this photos with the iPad, they are shown on the iPad in the chronological order when the photo has been taken.
How can I pursue the iPad to show the photos in the order of the "file"names of the photos instead of the order after the date of the photo?

hello Allan
Thanks for the answer. Wouldn't it be a nice feature on the iPad if you can choose on the iPad itself in which order the photos should be sorted -> for instance after capture date, after filename or after sorting in iPhoto
Maybe this will be a feature for the next iOS release

DefaultValue in BIP data template's parameter is not working

Hi,
I have given the below in BIP data template and submit the concurrent program(in R12 ) without parameter. But the below given default value has not been taken by the program.
<parameter name="P1" dataType="character" defaultValue="abc"/>
How to pass the default value in BIP data template.
Regards,
P.Kalidoss

Hi,
The data type is optional... so perhaps try
<parameter name="P1" defaultValue="abc"/>
Alternatively, 'parameters data types' can only be String, Integer, Boolean, Date or Float so perhaps try something like this...
<parameter name="P1" dataType="String" defaultValue="abc"/>
Hope this helps

How to use Report Parameter on Data Template

Hello All ,
I 've tried to create a Report using Data template and Report Parameter. I create a report using data template and I also created a parameter (P_company_name).
Data Template :
<dataTemplate name="test_Data_template" description="test" dataSourceRef="test">
<parameters>
<parameter name="company_name" dataType="character" include_in_output="false" defaultValue= *** HOW TO DEFINE THE REPORT PARAMETER (P_Company_name) HERE ** />
</parameters>
<dataQuery><sqlStatement name="Q1"> <![CDATA[SELECT customer_no,Company_name, from customers where acquisition_id = :company_name ]]>
</sqlStatement>
Report Parameter
Identifier : P_Company_name
Data Type : String
Default Value : Test
Parameter Type : Text
When the endusers run the Report they will provide the Company name through the report parameter.
I have tried to use the same approach that I used to pass the Parameter to SqlQuery on data Template but it is not working . XML Publisher cannot define the parameter.
How can I do that ?
If you have any suggestion or document I will really appreciate.
Thanks,
Robson

use this <parameter name="P_Company_name" dataType="character" include_in_output="false" defaultValue= 'Test Value' />and in the querySELECT customer_no,Company_name, from customers where acquisition_id = :P_Company_namehttp://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T434255.htm
Just keep the parameter name in datatemplate and the definition same.

Trans. PR05: Automatic trigger the "Add Data Maintain:Status" upon SAVE

Hi ABAO Gurus,
Good day.
The "Add Data Maintain: Status" Screen can be manually accessed by clicking the "Trip Status" Button in PR05.
Can you kindly confirm if it's possible to automatically trigger the "Add Data Maintain:Status" Screen via code dev when clicking the save button in Transaction PR05 - Travel Expense Manager? Can you please provide steps on how to do this?
Can exits EXIT_SAPMP56T_002 or EXIT_SAPMP56T_003 be used for this?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
