Automatic Row Processing - Preset a value with value from other page

Hi everybody,
I have created a form on a table with report. I added a dropdown field to a sidebar region on the first page the groups and selects only a couple of these entries. (Think: only people for the department selected in the drop down field). Now when I click on the normal create button the id field for the department should be filled automatically with the value from the page before, where something was already selected in the drop down field. The id field is a hidden field on the actual create page. Maybe it is not working because the field is linked to the database column to make the automatic row processing work or something. I tried computions on both pages and setting the values. Nothing seems to do the trick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Henrik

Hi,
these are the values I currently see:
108 14 P14_SELECTEDSS Display as Text (escape special characters, does not save state) No
108 14 P14_CHARACTERISTIC_ID Hidden and Protected Reset to Null No
108 14 P14_SHAREDSERVICE_ID Text Field 30 Inserted No
108 14 P14_CAPTION Text Field No
108 14 P14_CATEGORY_ID Select List No
108 14 P14_WEIGHING Text Field No
108 14 P14_DESCRIPTION Textarea No
I also have to say that I deleted the computations I created earlier again cause they did not work and I had the same values for these variables. I am trying to (pre)set P14_SHAREDSEVICE_ID to P13_SELSS when I click the create button on page 13.
Thanks again,
Henrik

Bug: Timestamp columns don't work in automatic row processing

It appears that automatic row processing doesn't work with timestamp columns. Here is the scenario:
- I have a view that contains a timestamp column
- I create an automatic row processing process that reads a row from this view
- I create a hidden item with a source type of "Database Column" and set its source value to the name of the timestamp column.
- The value of the hidden input is empty, i.e. value=""
I found that, as a workaround, if a change the view to convert the timestamp to a string (e.g. SELECT TO_CHAR(LAST_MODIFIED) LAST_MODIFIED rather than SELECT LAST_MODIFIED), it works correctly.
Adding a format mask or doing the conversion in a "post calculation computation" (e.g. TO_CHAR(:P34_LAST_MODIFIED)) doesn't work.

Later on in my exploration I found that some of the text boxes on the Keynote inspector were not accepting text, and so I couldn't even change the transition time for a slide. That prompted a restart of the program and that also seems to have solved the problem where the inspector wasn't accepting input for the columns and gutter. It's working now. So watch out for that. No idea what was at the root of it, which is annoying.

How to copy a record with an Automatic Row Processing (DML) ?

Hi,
I want to duplicate (to copy) a record.
I have a form, with an Automatic Row Processing (DML), looking for the PK stored into an item named P26_ID and populating the values into the corresponding items of the form.
I have an Automatic Row Processing (DML) which permit to update, delete and modify the row.
So far so good.
I thought it would be good if I calculate a new value for the PK and stored it into the P26_ID.
Then I thought the Automatic Row Processing (DML) would see that it is a new value for the PK and would "decide" insert a new record.
But it does not work like that. I thought it was because the item P26_ID is database column type; so I switched to another item named P26_ID_NEW and put this new pk into this item. I then created another Automatic Row Processing (DML), triggered by this button, and which will look into this new item. It does not work either.
Where do i go wrong ?
Thank you for your kind help !
Christian

Christian:
Assuming that the 'Duplicate' function is available only when the page is in 'Edit' mode, ie. a record has already been loaded into the form you can do the following to duplicate this record
1) Define a button named 'Duplicate'
2) Set the target of this button to be 'URL'
3) Set the URL for this button to be
javascript:duplicate();
4) Add this bit of JS into the page HTML header<script>
function duplicate() {
$s('<name_of_PK_page_item>','');
doSubmit('CREATE');
</script>Varad

Processing Static (via automatic row processing) & Dynmaic fields

Hi,
I have a page that has 2 sections. Section S is statically driven which I'd like to process via a Automatic Row Process DML. Section D is for dynamic fields which I process via a PL/SQL script.
I need to process Section D (dynamic) first.
Now they're 2 things that I'm noticing when I try this. Can someone please confirm.
- After my process of Section D it seems to make a commit. I know this since I have a error in Section S, and the values from Section D are committed to the DB. I need to make sure a commit only occurs after all page processes have completed error free.
- My Automatic Row Process DML for Section S doesn't seem to work at all. It can't seem to read the values at all. I know this since I have several columns which are "NOT NULL" and the appropriate error messages are being raised. The Automatic Row Fetch for Section S does work properly.
For the time being the work around is writing a process for the entire page which includes both Section S and Section D. The thing is I thought that HTMLDB would be able to help me out a lot with Section S since it had static fields etc.

Martin - I would try to debug these two processes separately. If the Auto DML process isn't firing, perhaps the button used to submit the page isn't setting the request to one of the standard values recognized by the Auto DML package ('INSERT','CREATE','CREATE_AGAIN','CREATEAGAIN' for inserts and 'SAVE','APPLY CHANGES','UPDATE','UPDATE ROW','CHANGE','APPLY' or like 'APPLY%CHANGES%' for update).
A commit happens whenever session state is changed, so if your process saves an item value, that would do it. If you think that is not the cause of the commit, let me know the details of the process and I'll take a closer look. There is no way to prevent the commit when session state is updated.

Without Automatic Row Processing (DML)

Hi All
I try to make one page to show use DML statements without standard Automatic Row Process.
What I have:
One page with:
region: Report - select empno, ename, sal, deptno from emp;
region: Form with items: p6_empn, p6_ename, p6_sal, p6_deptno
addictionaly in that moment I have:
process CreateProcess:
begin
insert into emp (empno, ename, sal, deptno)
values (emp_seq.nextval, :P6_ENAME, :P6_SAL, :P6_DEPTNO);
commit;
end;
and button CREATE.
Create Process is fired when I push CREATE button and Insert statement works corecctly. Branch is on the same page. (I use request).
Now I would like to show update and delete statements.
In Report I have in column EMPNO standard button Edit (each row)
(<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit.gif" alt="Edit">)
I have process SelectProcess:
begin
select ename,sal,deptno
into :p6_ename, :p6_sal, :p6_deptno
from emp
where empno = :p6_empno;
end;
It is fired In Load _ Before Header
When I push Edit in one row I would like to see details of employee in Form, but I see nothing. In session state all is correct - I see :p6.... with name, sal and ...
I dont know how to connect this process with buton and branch.
could you help me?

Hi,
I have done a quick test for this - [http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25946:1]
On the Edit page, I have a process called P2_LOAD_DATA that runs "On Load - Before Header", is conditional on P2_EMPNO being NOT NULL and using the following code:
BEGIN
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, JOB
INTO :P2_EMPNO, :P2_ENAME, :P2_JOB
FROM EMP
WHERE EMPNO = :P2_EMPNO;
END;I have a button with a Button Name setting of "UPDATE" (user sees this as Apply Changes)
I then have a process that runs "On Submit - After Computations and Validations" and is conditional on REQUEST = UPDATE. The code is:
BEGIN
UPDATE EMP
SET ENAME = :P2_ENAME,
JOB = :P2_JOB
WHERE EMPNO = :P2_EMPNO;
END;The source settings on P2_EMPNO, P2_ENAME and P2_JOB are as I described in my previous post.
One thing to check - do you have a "reset page" process? If so, remove it.

Adding a new field to an Automatic Row Processing form

Hi,
I have a form that I built through the form Wizard which has an automatic row processing function. It is working very well, except that any new fields I add to the form are not being updated in the database when the row is processed. I have set up the field exactly the same as other fields which are working and were originaly created by the wizard. I have deleted and recreated the row processing Page Process, but nothing seems to make it work. Have I missed anything? I don't want to recreate my page from scratch each time I want to add a new field.
Thanks,
Steve

if you're positive that your new fields/columns update correctly when you use Text Field items and not when you use Select List ones, i'd check to see what your select lists are returning. a good way to see exactly what your form got from your select list items is to check the session state for your select list items right after you submit your page (clicking the "Session" link in your developer toolbar in your runtime environment is a good way to get to this info). also, even though you said your added Text Fields work and your Select Lists don't, i'd still check the "Source Type" and "Source value or expression" fields of your select list items to make sure they're set correctly. for form items to work with your table in htmldb auto-dml processing, you need to set the "Source Type" to "Database Column" and the "Source value or expression" to the case-sensitive name of your db column.
hope this helps,

Solved: Delete Using Automatic Row Processing

See Scott's reply below for the answer.
Hi there,
I have an application built in APEX 3.0.1 that I would like to be able to use a button to delete a single row from an underlying database table (owned by the parsing schema).
My APEX page has a 3 HTML regions on it:
1. Only a Select List and Go button for User selection (of Debit Note)
2. Ten display Items (Text Field, Disabled saves state) displaying further information about User selection
3. Conditional Delete button (region with custom image) - only displays when P73_DEBITNOTEID is NOT NULL
I'd like this button to be used to Delete the Selected Item and thought I'd be able to use a Data Manipulation Page Process - Automatic Row Processing (DML) page process to do this.
However, when I go through the wizard the Select item containing primary key column value field has no values in the search list.
My first question is why was there no values in the list?
So I manually entered the Item I required (P73_DEBITNOTEID) but when I run the page and click the button I get a PL/SQL missing expression error.
What is the best practice method to do DML actions on the underlying database tables. The tables are all owned by the parsing schema.
Your help in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Gary,
The DML processes (and the creation wizards for them) are for use with items having source type Database Column. If your page items don't use this source type, then neither the Automated Row Fetch nor the Automatic Row Processesing (DML) process types will work.

Automatic Row Processing (DML) - Return Key Into Item

Hello,
This question is on Apex 4.2:
I'm Displaying the [UNIKEY] column value after the record is inserted into the table using :
page process > process row table_name > Source: Automatic Row Processing (DML) > Return Key Into Item > "Item Name"
This works fine while inserting records, my question is why this does not respond on update / delete ?
ϯ LT

Check your branches.
What might be happening is that on insert and update an other branch is followed.
Where the branch of the insert either isn't clearing the cache of the page or is setting the item with it's own value.
The branch on the update on the other hand is clearing the cache of the page and not setting the item.
With a delete there is a clear cache process generate by the wizard. Check if this process is only running on the delete and not on the update.
From memory the process is called something with reset.
If the above doesn't help try to replicate the problem on apex.oracle.com and give access with a guest developer account so we can have a look.

Automatic row processing updating my primary key

Hi all!
In Apex 3.2, I've got an Interactive report with a DML form on a table. My table has a primary key which use a sequence (trigger based). When I created my forms, I specified that I wanted to use an existing trigger as the source type of the primary key.
When I try to create a record, it work. If I try to create a new record and save, my trigger give me an error message because the automatic row processing is trying to update the primary key too. (My trigger on the update specify that the primary key should not be updated).
So my question is : How can I make the automatic row processing update everything but the primary key ? (I noticed that I could have asked APEX to use my SEQUENCE directly instead of the trigger (in the creation Wizard). But I dont know how to change this now that my form is created.)
Is there a source type that I can change in my primary key item ?
Note : My primary key item (id_emp) is protected and hidden. If I display it as "Display only", the update works... But I dont need to see id_emp on my form.

OK,
From your first post, it sounds as though the process is trying to perform an INSERT rather than an UPDATE. It is, therefore, trying to create a new record using a primary key that already exists on the table.
If that is the case, then we need to go through the points along that route:
1 - when you load a record into the page, the primary key page item should be given a value. So, firstly, check the link is populating the correct page item. And then, when the page has loaded, click the Session button on the Developer's toolbar at the bottom of the screen and check that the value is there
2 - when the page loads, one, and only one, page item should have the primary key value. This should be P3_NO_EMPLOYE*. Check other page items to make sure that their source is not NO_EMPLOYE. Again, check with using the Session button to see if the value appears anywhere else on the page
3 - when the page loads, the "SAVE" button should become visible. Check that this is conditional on P3_NO_EMPLOYE being NOT NULL
4 - there should be one, and only one, button that triggers the SAVE action. Check that there are no other buttons that either (A) are called SAVE or (B) trigger the INSERT SQL database action
5 - when the SAVE button is clicked, the "Process Row of..." process should be triggered and, because the button is SAVE and, therefore, sends "SAVE" as the REQUEST value, the process identifies this request as an Update database action. Check that you have Update ticked on the process and that you only have one process that can perform the update
6 - it is possible to change the value of the Request after a button has been clicked, so check that you have no computations or processes that run before the "Process Row of..." process

Automatic row processing in a validation

Hi,
I have a form on a table (page11) with one process for automatic row processing and I have the buttons Submit and Create.
I have another button f.e. BUTTON_NEW. I have a validation (function returning error text) with "BUTTON_NEW" as When-Button-pressed-Condition. In the validation I did an Insert into another table.
I changed values of items on Page11 and don't press Submit. And then I press "BUTTON_NEW". The validation on BUTTON_NEW works fine. But the changed values are lost. Is there a possibility for an automatic "Submit" or "Create" when BUTTON_NEW is pressed?
Thanks, Daniela

Automatic Row Processing BUG?

Unfortunately it turns out that one can not create report with form through the wizard if the target table has a primary key that should be updatable. Is that true?
I have a table with only 2 columns 1-code of some type, 2-description. Column 1 is primary key.
I get the following error when I try to change tha value of column 1:
ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=ass, p_alt_rowid=CURRENCYCODE, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01403: no data found
I searched through the forum but noone explained why this happens. And the only thing that I think is the reason for this is that Automatic Row Processing does not remember the previous value of the primary key column so its embedded SET statement only has the new value.
Is this a bug?
I don't want to create different processes to update, delete, create. This however involves using temp hidden field to hold the original value of my first column.
Would You fix this to be done automatically in HTMLDB when using the wizard with Automatic Row Processing?
My version is: 1.6.0.00.87
Thanks

Well, actually the wizard succeded but it did not do what I needed: my table is with one column (primary key) and another column (varchar). The wizard asked me for my primary key column and I pointed it, but after it secceeded and I ran the form, the field was hidden. But I wanted it to be avalable for entering/editing so I changed it to a text box type. Does that help?
And another thing what happens if I use the wizzard on a table with to columns which define a composite primary key. when i point them on the relevant page, the next page of the wizzard asks me to choose columns, but there aren't any more because it appears to hide my primary key fields. In this case i really can not use the usard for helping me with automatic processing. This and the previous case I believe are if not bugs then at least "lacks" of the wizzard.

Page having PL/SQL process and Automatic Row Process for 2 different tables

Hi,
I have a page containing 2 regions A & B.
Region-A content would be updated to table T1(PK : Ticket#).
Region-B content would be inserted into table T2(PK: Attachment# ; FK: Ticket#).
Region-B is used for uploading a file content into T2.
Since I cannot use 2 DML processes on the page for 2 different tables with a common column, so I have a PL/SQL process to update the record into T1 and an Automatic Row Process(DML) for inserting into T2.
Now the issue is in Region-B when I select a file using 'Browse' button and click on Upload button to fire the Automatic Row Process, the success message is displayed but the file is not uploaded into the table. But when I moved the entire Region-B and the Automatic Row Process to a different page and clicking Upload is working fine and inserting the record into the table along with the file content.
An item P10_TICKET_NUMBER with source type as Database column with source value as TICKET_NUMBER is used in Region-A.
I have gone through the forums and found some of the threads below
Re: 2 Automated Row Processes for one page?
Re: Error when trying to create 2 Forms on same page on 2 tables with ID as

Automatic Row Processing (DML) process is not updating the record

Hi all,
I have an application which was working fine last week and tested and backuped to new application. This Monday, one of the form in that application is not updating the data all of a sudden. I debug that by having page 0 variable and assign the value from the column variable to page 0 variable. Whatever value I changed to the column variable was getting updated to page 0 variable. But it is not updated in the database. So, I changed the success message of the "Automatic Row Processing (DML) process" and I can see the success message on the page, but the column value does not get updated. But when I go back and checked my backup application, that page is working fine. For now, I copy that from the backup application, but I would like to know why this is happening?
Thanks
SHY

Hi Scott,
Thank you very much for your response. Because of the database complexity, I can't create/import the application on the apex.oracle.com. I am just wondering why this is happening. One of my coworker said same thing happened to her in one of her project and it gets resolved once she restart the server. I am not able to restart the server to check and see if this resolved as the application is on the client server. Do we need to clean up any log file? Thanks.

Automatic Row Processing (DML) using synonym name instead of table

I want my APEX form to select info using the table name but perform all the DML (add, change, delete) using the synonym name. I created the form using the wizard and went into the "Process Row of xxx" process that was created. I tried changing the table name to synonym name under the 'Source: Automatic Row Processing (DML)' section, but it still uses the table name. Is this possible or do I need to manually create processes using the synonym names

Hi,
when I change the Table Name property in the "Automatic Row Processing (DML)" process to a non existing table it raises an error when I run the page and try to save something. So it's actually using the value.
Does the synonym point to the same table or a different table? What is the intention behind selecting from the table but updating through the synonym?
