Adding Dynamic information to a form

I am attempting to populate a designed form using data from a database (MySQL) using a ODBC connection. How do I add the dynamic information to the form to autopopulate it when the form is called using a ID number?
Is there any place to read up on this?

You just want to be look-up info based upon an ID number ? This is not very hard to do. you could use some wonderful XFA javascript and send the ID back to the DB and use a select where statement and pull up the info. You may want to read the designer help I think it mentions some of this.

Problem adding dynamic sections in a form

Hello,
I've previously used LiveCycle to design static forms, but am now trying to create a dynamic interactive form. I'm completely new to this process so I thought I'd learn by trying to re-create the sample Purchase Order form that comes with the software, to ease myself into it.
I'm using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 on Windows XP Professional.
Within the Purchase Order example, the two subforms I'm concerned with are the detailHeader subform which contains an 'Add Item' button and five static text objects; and the detail subform, which contains one drop-down, one text field and three numeric fields.
The Add Item button is scripted to add an instance of the detail subform upon clicking.
Now, I created the subforms and objects as shown in the sample Purchase Order form, and I entered the JavaScript exactly as it is in the example. I've set the whole form to 'Flowing Content', and have the same binding settings for each of the subforms as in the example. But when I go to the PDF Preview the addInstance just doesn't work.
The script reads as follows:
// Invoke the Instance Manager to add one instance of the detail subform.
_detail.addInstance(1);
Can anyone suggest what it is I'm overlooking?

Check two things..
1) check whether you have set the subform to Repeat fotr each data item..(Check the below image).
https://acrobat.com/#d=tgYANswsX6VA5BmmE7kvOA
2) See if you have set the form as Dynamic by following the below..
     1) Goto File menu -> Form Properties and select Defaults tab. Change the Default Render Format as Dynamic XML form
     2) Select the Preview Tab. Set the Preview type as "Interactive Form" and Preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form
     3) Finally while saving the PDF select Save As Type as "Adobe Dynamic XML Form".
If you still have issues please let me know..
Thanks

How can we split the image when its added dynamically ?

Hi Experts,
I have an image where i'm calling a DAL in Entry tab Data section under section level properties.As you know that will execute during Entry process.In that DAL i'm Adding an image based on the user choice during entry.
When image added that should be accomedate the spaces availale in the form.First half of the section can accomedate in the first page and secound half will go to next page.
I have used CANSPLITIMAGE rule,but that is not get executed during entry process.
Can someone help me How to split the image during entry process when its added dynamically ?
Thanks,
RAMAN C.

Aside from what you might think of as the origin placement, Gendata rules are not run during Entry operations. As such, you are not able to do what you describe in versions before 12.2. Starting in 12.2, you still can't execute Gendata rules, however there is a newly supported feature when DAL adds a section that will look for the existence of the CanSplitImage rule and assigns an internal attribute that will allow the section to split during entry. This isn't the same as running the rule, but the net effect should be acceptable. (At some point in the future, perhaps this internal attribute will become something you can just set when adding the section on the form and you won't have to specify the CanSplitImage rule at all - for Batch or Entry. That would be great.) In the meantime, if you are not using 12.2, your only option is to break your section up into smaller section components and add them separately. That should help minimize unused space on the page when something doesn't fit.

Regarding dynamic tables in interactive forms

Hi All,
        I have designed a webdynpro view which contains a table,i have to generate a pdf format file which also contains
a table as there in the webdynpro view.
        I have designed a dynamic table in interactive form and binded the interactive form ui element with the datasource and pdfSource.
In the interactive form i am getting only one row data of webdynpro view table.In the Object palette, I selected Repeat Row For Each Data Item.
       share with me if u have any idea or send any document regarding table binding(dynamic) in interactive form.

Multiple images into a subform in a dynamic non-interactive adobe form

I want to convert a set of images into a PDF (one page for each image) with Webdynpro. I'm trying with a non-interactive adobe form.
I followed the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form".
I've got a multiple Context node: 'Images' with a string attribute 'url' for each image.
In the form, I've created subform1, and subform2 within. I put an image field into subform2, setting its url to: $record.Images[*].url
and its script to: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
It doesn't work.
If I add a field into subform2 binding it to url attribute, I can see some lines with the correct path for each image, but the image isn't displayed.
It works with a single dynamic image in the page. What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Anibal Pozo.

No. It's form scripting. In any case I'm working with Webdynpro Java.
I tried this code in table 'initialize' event.
for int=0 upto $record.nImages do
Table1.Row1[int].ImageField.value.image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
Table1.Row1[int].Cell4.value.#image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
endfor
Cell4 is a static image.
In 04SP9, it show always the same image in the image field (first column), and alternating image in cell4 (second column).
In 04sSP6, it shows always the same image in all the rows in both columns.
Any idea? I didn't find any OSS related.

How to hide columns that are getting added dynamically to UI Element 'Table

In SRM 7.0 while displaying a RFx, click on "responses and awards" button.
In the response comparision tab once the user selects response number and clicks on "compare all responses".
Item details table is displayed with fields item number,internal number,item description,........,Price etc.
Requirement is to hide the price column from the table.
The UI element type is 'Table'.
But the catch is there is no column price visible at layout design level.
This field is getting added dynamically at run time.
When i right click and see the 'more field help' at the front end i get the field id as 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV'.
lo_table ?= view->get_element( id = 'ITEMS_TABLE' ).
lo_column = lo_table->get_column( id = 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV').
ASSERT lo_column IS NOT INITIAL.
lo_column->set_visible( EXPORTING value = '01' ).
I had written the above code in the pre-exit of WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
But i am getting dump as assertion failed.it says no column by name 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV'.
Please help me inhow to hide fields or buttons getting generated dynmically.
Regards,
Venkat Raghavan.

Hi Anitha,
What i understood from your question is,you want to control the table from your inputs.I have a one question for you what do you want to show defaultly i.e when you run the application what you want to show,either no table or table with some values.
Any how i am giving solution in this way.
If both inputs are given proper table output is displayed
Write your below logic in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW )
Here i am assuming that you already have a table element in the view.
Get the values entered in the input fields and compare those 2 values ,if the condition is satisfied then bind the values which you want to show in the table to the context node.
but if only 1 input is given a column is empty in the output table so i want to hide this column dynamically at runtime based on my inputs
You are telling that you know the empty column.If so get the view element reference and use the REMOVE_COLUMN to remove the column.
data:lr_table type ref to cl_wd_table,
       lr_column type ref to L_WD_TABLE_COLUMN.
lr_table ?= view->get_element( 'TABLE1' ).
CALL METHOD LR_TABLE->REMOVE_COLUMN
    EXPORTING
      ID          = 'TABLE1_color'
     INDEX      =
    RECEIVING
      THE_COLUMN = lr_column.
i want to hide some empty rows also at runtime based on inputs.
Removing the rows is very simple.if you know the key fields data of internal table from your input fields then do in this way.
delete itab from wa where key1= "12" and key2="abd".
Now bind the internal table to context node.
LO_ND_hcm->BIND_TABLE(
      NEW_ITEMS            = it_final
      SET_INITIAL_ELEMENTS = ABAP_TRUE ).

Dynamic Action on tabular form: to auto set value for all changes rows

Hi All:
I am using APEX4.2.3 and I am not very familar with JQUERY or Javascript.
I am having a tabular form to support Update and Delete action. The tabular form has 4 columns:
Column A: ID                      (Number)     : Read-only column
column B: Name                 (Varchar2)   : Editable
Column C: Age                    (Number)     : Editable
Column D: ChangeFlag      (Varchar2)   : Read-only column                             ==> however, I want this column been automatically upldated by my APEX application
Here is the requirement: First user update Column B, or C or both for # of rows; then user click "Save Change" button. For ALL updated rows, I need to automatically update Column D with below logic:
For a given row,
               IF Column D IS NULL THEN
                     set value = 'M'                           -- M means modified
               ELSE --- column D has a value already
                    IF last character of Column D is 'M', THEN
                           don't do anything;
                    ELSE
                          set value of D = existing value + 'M'                       (here + means concatenate
                   END IF;
            END IF;
I thought this can be done by creating dynamic action on tabular form ... I have researched this on this forum and can't find a good match example ..
I know I can implement this using a DB trigger; however, I want to learn if this can be achived via Dynamic Action.
Thanks!
Kevin

Hi Expert:
Anyone can offer any direction or help on this?

Merging of cells of a dynamic table in adobe form

Hi,
I am trying to Merge 2 columns in a dynamic table in adobe form.The requirement is to merge column 3 and column 4 if column 4 is empty. I used the below javascript code in both "Form ready " and Initialize event of the row.
if (this.Cell4.rawValue == " ")
this.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
this.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
Note : Since above code was not working , i used the below code in my subform also but it did not returned desired output.
if(Table22.Row1.Cell1.rawValue == " ")
Table22.Row1.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
Table22.Row1.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
The problem is that in my dynamic table , its the second row where the requirement is fulfilled ie in the 2nd entry of my table the column4 is blank (the exact row number might change depending on input data).
is there a way to loop in the dynamic table and check if column 4 is empty for a particular row.
the above code does not help to fulfill my requirements. kindly help.
Thanks

Need help on Dynamic SQL Cursor in Forms

Hi All,
I am trying to execute Dynamic SQL Cursor in forms using EXEC_SQL built in.
I have a cursor for example:
'select * from supplier where supplier = '||p_supplier||' and processing_order = '||p_order
My code is
cur_num := Exec_SQL.Open_cursor;
sql_order := 'select * from supplier where supplier = '||p_supplier||' and processing_order = '||p_order;
EXEC_SQL.PARSE(cursor_number, sql_order);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cur_num ,1,ln_Supp_Id);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cur_num ,2,ls_Suppl_Name,30);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cur_num ,24,ls_exchange,20);
sql_count := EXEC_SQL.EXECUTE(cur_num );
While EXEC_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(cur_num ) > 0 Loop
        EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cur_num ,1,ln_Supp_Id);
        EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cur_num ,2,ls_Suppl_Name);
        EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cur_num ,24,ls_exchange);
End Loop;
EXEC_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cur_num );
In this case I have to write 24 Define Columns and 24 Column value. Is there any way to assign them to %rowtype at one time as I need all coulmn of the table.
I had similar case on multiple tables.
Please help me
Thanks,
Maddy

I need this dynamic sql because p_supplier and p_order values changes at run time
I do not understand. Is this a simplified sample or the real thing? You do know that you can pass variables to cursors:
cursor test is
select * from supplier where supplier = p_supplier and processing_order = p_order;
or does e.g. p_supplier hold other parts of the query?
cheers

Adding dynamic attributes to static context node

Hi All,
I have defined a context node LINES with several attributes. This is done staticly during developmenttime.
During run-time node LINES is extended with several attributes dynamicly. See below:
10     HEADER_GUID               ->
11     DETAIL_GUID               ->
12     EXTERNAL_ID               ->
13     OBJECT_TYPE               ->
14     IN_OUT_PLAN               ->
15     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_1               ->
16     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_2               ->
17     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_3               ->
18     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_4               ->
19     _LOCATION          \TYPE=STRING     ->
20     _ZZTOPGROUPING     \TYPE=STRING     ->
21     _STATUS          \TYPE=STRING     ->
22     _100000200          \TYPE=STRING     ->
19..22 are added dynamicly.
I have an internal table that matches de new context. This <fs_tb_tree_new> I want to bind like:
*&- bind table
lr_node->bind_table( new_items = <fs_tb_tree_new>
                       set_initial_elements = abap_true ).
In <fs_tb_tree_new> the dynamicly added attrbutes contains values e.g. (the static attributes also have values via <fs_tb_tree_new>):
                     _LOCATION   _ZZTOPGROUPING _STATUS              _100000200
5     Africa     0002     Reporting Entity     0.000
6     Russia, CIS     0003     Identify                          0.000
An ALV presents the values of the attribute. But.... only the values of the static part are presented, not the dynamic attributes added during runtime.
Please advise what I forget or do wrong .
Thanks in advance.
John

I solved the issue:
If you use a combination of static attributes added with dynanic attributes (during runtime) for dynamic ALV, I advise to create a new node and bind the values to this new created node:
