Assigning current value to Application Item

Hi,
I have a interactive report with form in my application.....
if a user applys filter on first column of the interactive report.....how can i assign that value to the APPLICATION ITEM.
thanks

Hi Andy,
Thanks....it is working perfect......
but i have a small issue....
in my real application i have 7tabs with page no's 1,2,3,4,5,6,and 15.....
so i have created 7 application items G_PARTNO1, G_PARTNO2, G_PARTNO3, G_PARTNO4, G_PARTNO5, G_PARTNO6, G_PARTNO15.
and used the single application process that runs On Load Before Header and uses the following PL/SQL code:
DECLARE
v1 NUMBER;
v2 NUMBER;
v3 NUMBER;
v4 NUMBER;
v5 NUMBER;
v6 NUMBER;
v15 NUMBER;

Assign values for Application items

Hi,
I have some application items to which I want to assign values querying from a database table based on the user logged in. I have created an application process which does that. What process point I need to select so that the values in application items are available through out the session?
Thanks,
Asha

Asha:
I have been able to reproduce this issue. The application process appears to fire for every 'new' session-id. This explains the 'no data found' when you navigate to the application's login page. What is weirder is that APEX re-uses the session-id created when presenting the login page and therefore the application process no longer fires ! This needs more research. Clearly, my understanding of the the 'On New Session - After Authentication' is inadequate.
In the meanwhile you can move the code you have for the application process and and use it as a 'Post-Authentication Process' for the application's authentication scheme.

How to set the value of application item using pl/sql in application process

Hi guys,
I want a global variable (application item) whose value will be set at the start when a user logs in to the application. The value will be retrieved from database using a sql query. I do not know the exact syntax to set the value of application item in application process. Also i want to know in which type of application process should i use to set the value of application item when a user starts a session. The value of application item varies from user to user.
Please help.
I am using apex 4.2
Regards,
Waqas

You can use the application item as bind-variable with its name. ie. your application item is named G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM, then you can access/set it using :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM.
For example
BEGIN
    -- assign like a variable
    :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM := 'LARRY';
    -- use in a SQL statement
    SELECT WHATEVER_COLUMN
      INTO :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM
      FROM MY_TABLE
     WHERE USERNAME = :APP_USER
END;

Passing values thru application Item.

All,
Ive issue here with Apex4.1.x.
I created an application item to which a value is set using javascript like (document.getElementById('P135_GLOBAL1').value = '100'; ) executed onclick when a LIST ITEM is clicked to display another page/page2. On the called page2 i want its region title set to ="Something&135_GLOBAL1." and same application item value i want to assign to another hidden item in the called page/page2......any idea is appreciated.

Application item values cannot be set in this way: they only exist in session state on the server, not as HTML elements in the page that can be manipulated using JavaScript DOM methods/properties in the browser. (Furthermore, when setting page items in this way, always use the built-in APEX method<tt>$s</tt> APEX method to set values in JavaScript as this contains logic to correctly process APEX item types.)
To set the value of application items in JavaScript, use a Dynamic Action with a Set Value action, triggered by a Change event on your list item.

Using value of application item in javascript

Hello All,
Apex 3.1
I have a javascript that calls an application process, please see below. In the application process I have logic to set/change the value of an application item. Later in the javascript I need to set a page item to the value of the application item which was set in the application process. Any alerts that I post during the javascript show this value as blank, even though a similar HTP.prn in the application process displays the value!. After the script completes the correct value of the application item is in session state . Can someone explain this timing issue to me? Why can't I get the value of an application item in the javascript when the application process is called from the javascript?
Is there a simple workaround here for me to get this value?

Hi,
When you use application item in JavaScript like you do, string &F101_QUOTE_LINE_ID. is substituted by item value from session state.
Changes to that item value when you call On Demand process do not affect to page.
Lets take example,
You app item F101_QUOTE_LINE_ID value is e.g. XX in session state.
You run page and see page source it looks like this
html_GetElement('f37_'+vRow).value =('XX');Kind you have hard code value to JavaScript.
Nothing will change that unless you refresh page.
You need return value from On Demand process.
To set value code could look like then
html_GetElement('f37_'+vRow).value = gReturn;Regards,
Jari

Bring 2 datas at the same time and assign that value to my item

Hi everybody, I have a trigger called WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE where I have the following select: Select to_char(sysdate,'yy') into :mat from dual.
This select brings me the year from the system, but I would like to put together the year and the consecutive number of another table to have something like this: 09-0001 and add this value to the item called :mat.
Is this possible?

You can try what Brown has suggested.
But in case you want a running number , then sequence might not help.
What we used to do in this case is, we used to store a number in one seperate table (with other parameters like year, item code and so on), and select the max of this number +1 concatinated with year or whatever format you require.
And at the end update that number with number+1.
Say table series has columns
year month series
09 01 22
Now when you select this number series+1 and update in you empid prefixed/suficed with some other field, then do remember to update this field. That means at the end of the transaction the record in this table would be
09 01 23.
This is a unique idea and can be utilized for generating ID based on year month series format.
Just define them in the table and use them accordingly in your code.

Assigning a value to an item

Hi,
I'm using forms6i.
I have an item in my form , say, Invoicebase, whose default value to be fetched from another table and to be shown in the form while loading.
The query to fetch the default value involves a where condition, like where company = :Global.company
But I'm assigining value to this global variable in when-new-form-instance.
So where(which trigger) should i write the query to fetch the default value?
I cannot assign value in when-new-record-instance trigger because , it wil change the form status, and if without entering any value i try to quit it wil ask for Close Form?
I can only do that in when-create-record trigger, but at that time the global variable wil not be initialized and the query would not have worked!
Please help me handle this
Thanks

Stay with the WHEn-CREATE-RECORD-trigger and put the code to initialize teh global into the PRE-FORM-trigger.

Application Item values in Session State in APEX 4.2

In 4.2, I am not able to see the session state values of my Application Items if I click "Session" at the bottom of a page. We just migrated from 4.1 and we login to a separate app than where we land upon login. I thought the "Global" scope of the Application Item would allow this to track across apps, but its not working. Is this a known issue?

Assigning value to an item

Is there a way to assign value to variable
of data type ITEM? In other words, I need to
assign value to an item, where I just know the
it_id.
In the following procedure p_item is unknown until runtime;
and if it_id is not null then assign some value to the item.
procedure update_item(p_item)
is
it_id item := find_item('block1.'||p_item);
if not id_null(it_id) then
it_id := 'some_value'; --doesn't work.
end if;
end;

Do you mean you know the name of the item and you want to then assign a value?
If so then use the COPY command which allows you to assign a value to a named variable
e.g.
COPY (12345, 'blocka.number_item1');
To read the value in the same way use the NAME_IN function.
There is plenty in the forms helps about this.

//change your code to look like this
//notice the colons before your application item
htp.p('<tr><td>AABB<td>');
(a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION..::::F129_DB_NM:XXXXX">page 1)
htp.p('</td>');
(a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION..::::F129_DB_NM:YYYY">page 2);

How to read application item's value using javascript

Is there any way to read value of application item using javascript?
Thanks

Javascript can access the objects rendered for the page you are calling. This is why the $v function will do the work if calling it for a page item. However an application item isn't rendered on the page - the session state of it is only stored in the table. This is why you need to do it the way I described. You could do a workarround and create a hidden item on your page and compute the value of it using the application item value. Then you would be able to get the value of your application item using $v function.

Issue with Setting Application Item

Hi All,
I have an issue with setting the value of application item G_USER_ID as part of the login process.
I use customized authentication for login. I have created an application item G_USER_ID, and in my CUSTOM_AUTH procedure, I am setting its value as APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_USER_ID', l_user_id);
For some reason, the value is not set to G_USER_ID the first time I login. When I log out and login again without closing the browser, the value is set. Note that I even tested with a static value instead of l_user_id like APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_USER_ID', '5555555'); but still fails to set during the first login.
I hope someone can guide me as to what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks!

What does this do?
:SVR_FLAG := NVL(l_mult_svr,'N');
