Af:query not fetching records when VC Modified for advance search

Question

Gurus,
I have a view criteria and using it i have a af:query component in my page. When i run the page i see the fields in the search box correctly. However i see another LOV in the search which has options like "Equals","Between", "Does not contain" etc. Though this option is good for 1 search criteria, it is not of any use for another. How can i remove it from the search criteria that i dont want
thnks

Answer 1

you would need to add the following to the view criteria item in the view criteria definition for the VO - in order NOT to show any of the operators.
<CompOper
            Name="DepartmentName"
            ToDo="-2"
            Oper="">You would need to do - by open the VO.xml and add this xml snippet - which would ensure that the operators are NOT shown in the query panel.
Sample:
For Departments VO, say there is a view criteria that defined on department id and department name and you do NOT want to show the operators.
After defining the VC, open the VO file - add the above.
<ViewCriteria
Name="DepartmentsVOByDeptIdorDeptName"
ViewObjectName="com.samples.model.DepartmentsVO"
Conjunction="AND">
<Properties>
<CustomProperties>
<Property
Name="displayOperators"
Value="Always"/>
<Property
Name="autoExecute"
Value="false"/>
<Property
Name="allowConjunctionOverride"
Value="true"/>
<Property
Name="showInList"
Value="true"/>
<Property
Name="mode"
Value="Basic"/>
</CustomProperties>
</Properties>
<ViewCriteriaRow
Name="vcrow0"
UpperColumns="1">
<ViewCriteriaItem
Name="DepartmentsVOCriteria_vcrow0_DepartmentId"
ViewAttribute="DepartmentId"
Operator="="
Conjunction="AND"
Required="Optional"/>
<ViewCriteriaItem
Name="DepartmentsVOCriteria_vcrow0_DepartmentName"
ViewAttribute="DepartmentName"
Operator="STARTSWITH"
Conjunction="AND"
Required="Optional">
*<CompOper*
Name="DepartmentName"
ToDo="-2"
Oper="">
*</CompOper>*
</ViewCriteriaItem>
</ViewCriteriaRow>
</ViewCriteria>
