Block based on record group

I'm trying to achieve same thing as is done in metalink note 38358.1 but for some reason ON-* triggers are never called.
What settings do I have to set. Article just mentions "set block property 'use transactional triggers' to true", but in Forms 10g there is actually two places: DML and Query source where you can select "transactional triggers". Which one (or both) I have to set. Any other settings I have to check before those triggers will work?

Funny, I created my block from scratch and now it works. Well, seems that this is standard behaviour in Forms - if something doesn't work do it again and it works... I have noticed that Forms Builder is not developer friendliest thing. (I think I last time added items before I setted up those transactional attributes, now I did it vice versa.)
But thank you for your help and time.

Tree based on Record Group

Hi guys i have a tree that i populate using
FTREE.Set_Tree_Property(tree_item, FTREE.RECORD_GROUP, rg_Tree_Id);     The problem is that my query is fine but the parent child relationships are not working.
The help on forms is terrible for trees and i cant find any information anywhere else.
As anyone any example of how this works?
my record group contains data such as this
child level     parent
203096     1     203094
203097     1     203094
203098     1     203094
203099     1     203094
203100     1     203094
203101     1     203094
203102     1     203094
203103     1     203094
203104     2     203096
203105     2     203096
203106     2     203096
203107     2     203096
203108     3     203107
203109     4     203108          on displaying the tree the tree displays with all the information but the branches are in the order as above, they do not branch off the correct parent i.e. 203104 should branch off 203096 but it doesnt it branches off 203103 as this is the one above it, and the level is the only thing that has changed.
any ideas?

Hai,
In Tree, the values should be in the order.
that means,
parant 1 - 100000
child 1 100001
child 2 100002
parant 2 200000
child 1 200001
like that.
Regards,
Manu.

Set enabled in detail block based on record's data

Hi,
I have a detail block in tabular form(4.5).There is only one column "Hobby" which is disabled at design time and 4 records are displayed like as shown:
- Hobby -
Soccer
Baseball
Icehockey
Basketball
At run time I want to enable the records so that users can update it only if the hobby starts with letter 'B'.
I tried using set_item_property in post query but this will enable all records as the last record starts with "B" and the code will enable the column.

Try putting same trigger coding in WHEN-RECORD-INSTANCE

Dynamically creating a Record Group based on Previously entered Record Grou

Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production)
Hi,
I know how to dynamically create a record group based on a query and putting the code in When new form instance.
My query is. I have a form which has multiple Record Groups and the user wants to dynamically create subsequent groups based on previous groups.
For example
I have a record group with selects a Location,
when the user selects the Location from a list of values
the 2nd record group called 'Cost Centres' will have to filter out only those with the locations selected above.
How can I populate the 2nd record group at run-time when I do not know what site the user will select?
If I simply populate in when new form instance as in location and just select everything, the list of values populates.
CC field is a LIST ITEM and the list style is a POP LIST, it is not required.
I have put the code in the Location field in the when-list-changed trigger.
I am getting this error:
frm-41337: cannot populate the list from the record group
here is the code:
DECLARE
v_recsql Varchar2(1000); -- The SQL for creating the Record Group.
v_recgrp RecordGroup; -- Record Group
v_status Number; -- Return Value of Populate_Group function.
c_where VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
     IF :location = '1' THEN
          c_where := ' substr(cost_centre,1,2) in (''01'',''02'')';
     ELSIF :location = '2' THEN
          c_where := ' substr(cost_centre,1,2) in (''02'',''03'')';
     ELSIF :location   = '3' THEN
          c_where := ' substr(cost_centre,1,2) in (''01'',''11'',''07'')';
               ELSE
          c_where := ' 1=1'; --EVERYTHING
     END IF;
v_recsql := 'SELECT cost_centre, description FROM   cost_centres where '||c_where;
-- Create the Record Group
v_recgrp := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY('v_recgrp', v_recsql);
IF NOT ID_NULL(v_recgrp)
THEN -- No Error, record group has been successfully created.
-- Populate Record Group
v_status := POPULATE_GROUP('v_recgrp');
IF v_status = 0
THEN -- No Error. Record Group has been Populated.
POPULATE_LIST('block.CC', 'v_recgrp');
END IF; -- IF v_status = 0
-- Delete the Record Group as it is no longer needed.
DELETE_GROUP('v_recgrp');
END IF; -- IF NOT ID_NULL(v_recgrp)
END;thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
Once record status gets change for block you can not populate/repopulate the list item. Keep those list items as non-database item with different names and create different items as database orignal items. Than assign the values in WHEN-LIST-CHANGE trigger to the actual database items.

Updating a value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change

Hi,
I need to change the value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change to another item's value in the same block.
Suppose there's a text item in a multi record block called dt1 which is of type date, which is changed in a particular record. I want to change the values of the another item in the same multi record block, for all other records by running a loop through all the records in multi record block. I dont want to do it on the press of a button, it should do automatically on change. Help me resolve this issue.

Change in non based table record status does not propagate to block or form

Hi,
I have an non based table field (call it X) which mirrors an actual column in database. I found out that when I create a record in that block, X's record status will change to 'INSERT', but the block it resides in refuses to change its block_status to 'CHANGED'. In fact, get_block_property shows that the block_status is 'QUERY'.
This is causing a problem for me because I am relying on :system.form_status in my KEY_COMMIT trigger to find out if there is any changes.
Any hint/help/comment are greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Here is my form:
KEY-COMMIT:
if :system.form_status = 'CHANGED' then
commit_form;
end if;
EMPLOYEE: (database table)
id (database field, invisible)
name (database field, invisible)
mirror_name (non database field, but mirroring name, visible)
salary (database field, invisible)
mirror_salary (non database field but mirroring salary, visible)
I would like to use the mirror fields to display information from employee.name and employee.salary on my form. Those mirror fields should capture insert, delete, update actions from user then pass them on to the actual database fields quietly in KEY-COMMIT trigger.
But the problem is when employee.mirror_name's status is INSERT, the block status remains as QUERY becuase employee.mirror_name is not a database field.
Thank you very much!

Record Who information for a block based on procedure

Hi All,
I have a block whose query data source type property is set to procedure and query data source name is a procedure. When I hit Ctrl F11 on this block it shows me all the records. When I see the record who information , I see all the record who information except the Table Name. I understand that the table name is not coming as the query data source name is a procedure for this block. Is there a way to dynamically set this query data source name to a table or a view while still retaining the procedure based functionality. I tried set_block_property for this property but form won't allow.
Thanks

There are several recent posts on the topic with a lot of good help & documentation.
The Metalink note: 66887.1
Re: Form on a procedure
If you can't access Metalink, search here on that note. Someone posted the full text a couple days ago.
This is also very good reference:
Block based on procedure
Essentially, you have a procedure, returning a table-of-records type variable, called by the block "Query Data Source..." properties.
Name = procedure name
Arguments = procedure parameters (IN parameter(s) Value is :block.item)
Source Columns = the record type columns for your table-of-records
Datatypes & sizes must match all around.
Start very simple & get it to work first, then expand.
You must follow the documentation very carefully. If it doesn't work at first, go through everything to verify. Also, read the Tip & Issues at the end of the Metalink note.
Have fun. It works awsome once you get the hang of it.

Record Group Query - item block

I need to calculate a Record Group Query using a block item value, but when a use the query below the query didn't return rows:
SELECT OID_SIIB_FINALIDADE_TED
     , F.COD_FINALIDADE || ' - ' || F.DES_FINALIDADE DES_FINALIDADE
FROM SIIB_FINALIDADE_TED F
      , ( SELECT P.TP_PARAMETRO
            FROM SIIB_PARAMETROS_GERAIS P
          WHERE P.NM_PARAMETRO = 'TIPO_' || :BLOCK.ITEMX ) PAR -- using the :BLOCK.ITEMX the query did'nt return data
WHERE PAR.TP_PARAMETRO = F.TPO_FINALIDADEBut if a use a static query the Record Group( changing :BLOCK.ITEMX for 'STR0005' ) return the desired values.
This Record Group is used to pupulate a LOV.

No, it doesn't .
And return the message: "There aren't data in the List of Values"
And the block item is not empty or null.

What are record groups for?

hi,
Could anybody tell me what is the main purpose of creating record groups whith statements like: create_group_from_query, populate_group, ...
Every time we want to access any records we can use blocks which are based on tables or views which are in Oracle Data Base. So what is the reason of creating record groups?
please explain my that issue:)
Grzegorz

hi grzegorz,
Record Group is one which is used with LOVs and List Items.
for the use of LOV & List items u must have to define record group through whis the List items or LOV is belogs to that group.
A record group built from a query can store records from database tables much like a database view, with the added advantage that the record group is local to Form Builder, rather than existing in the database.
To know more about record group, form builder's help is good way,

Using Global variable in Record Group

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to pull a column name from a table and then use that value in the select statement of a record group. I have tried using global variables but it is not working. Here is the record group I would like to use.
RG_DOMAIN is based on LOV_DOMAIN
SELECT :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME, DESCRIPTION FROM
DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES
WHERE DOMAIN_NAME := BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
In the Key-Listval I have a select statement in which does this :
SELECT DOMAIN_COLUMN
INTO :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME
FROM DM_T_DOMAIN_RULES WHERE DOMAIN_NAME = :BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
SHOW_LOV('LOV_DOMAIN');
The problem is I am not getting the value I am just getting the Domain_column name. For example for Domain_name 'CALC_TYP' the Domain_column is COLUMN_10 and I just see COLUMN_10 my LOV when I want to see the value of COLUMN_10 from the DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES table.
I tried using Name_in and Copy but not working. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks

Francois ,
I tried this but I am getting error saying record group does not exist. Can you tell me what should I go in Populate_group... and show_lov..maybe I am doing something wrong?
Declare
LC$Req Varchar2(512) ;
Begin
LC$Req := 'SELECT ' || :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME || ' FROM ....' ;
Create_Group_From_Query( rg_group, LC$Req ) ;
Populate_group(RG_DOMAIN); ?? --- is this correct?
Show_Lov(LOV_DOMAIN) ; -- and is this correct?
End;

Data Blocks Based on Stored Procedures

Is it possible to to create a data block based on a stored procedure, and create a dynamic list as a drop down box?
I have a form that runs successfully that has a data block based on a stored procedure. I add my trigger to create and populate the record group. Then in the Property Palette, when I change ITEM TYPE from TEXT ITEM to LIST ITEM, I receive the following runtime error:
FRM-40350: Query caused no records to be retrived.
Note: the tlist/list item runs successfully on a data block based on a table.

1) go to the block property to remove the same item column, then re-add the item; Since the property may remember the old text type;
make sure the record value for the list tiem from stored procedure is among the list elements!
Last sort is to do:
2) you may re-create your gui based on the table by setting the list type this time, then set the block property to be based on the stored procedure.

Creating Record Group dynamically.

Hi,
I have multi line block. My req is i have create record group dynamically based on some fields in line level. This my code in To Location - Key next item,
DECLARE
group_id          RecordGroup;
v_lms_lov lov;
BEGIN
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query ('RG_LMSID',
'SELECT lms_id
FROM sify_lms_header
WHERE from_location = :lines.from_location
AND to_location = :lines.to_location;'
v_lms_lov := find_lov('LOV_LMSID');
set_lov_property(v_lms_lov,group_name,'RG_LMSID');
Set_Item_Property('LINES.LMS_ID',LOV_NAME,'LOV_LMSID');
END;
It says, no records in lov. Anything i missed.
Or any other way to achieve this.
Pl help.
Thanks
Kavitha

Kavitha,
Why you need Dynamic record group for this?, you can give the control names in the record group query. Then the record group's query will be
SELECT LMS_ID FROM SIFY_LMS_HEADER WHERE FROM_LOCATION = :LINES.FROM_LOCATION AND TO_LOCATION = :LINES.TO_LOCATIONAnd if you still want to use the dynamic record group creation, then try
DECLARE
     RG_Group_ID RECORDGROUP;
BEGIN
     RG_Group_ID := FIND_GROUP('RG_LMSID');
IF NOT Id_Null(RG_Group_ID) THEN
          DELETE_GROUP(RG_Group_ID);
END IF;
     RG_Group_ID := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY('RG_LMSID', 'SELECT LMS_ID FROM SIFY_LMS_HEADER WHERE FROM_LOCATION = ''' || :LINES.FROM_LOCATION || ''' AND TO_LOCATION = ''' || :LINES.TO_LOCATION || '''');
     SET_LOV_PROPERTY('LOV_LMSID',     GROUP_NAME, 'RG_LMSID');
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('LINES.LMS_ID', LOV_NAME,   'LOV_LMSID');
END;Regards,
Manu.

Record Group and From-Clause Datasource

I need to do several complex queries (read-only) for my form. Original I used From-Clause datasource but, as the requirement changed, there are some limitations. I would rather no do anything dynamically if as all possible because there are over 20 such queries which makes the code difficult to maintain. I wanted to be able to reference block items in the query.
I'm thinking about using Record Group query instead. What are the differences in capability between Record Groups and From-Clause Datasource?
Thanks.
Clayton.

Thanks.
That's exactly the problem I have. I don't want to use LOVs so I've been thinking about how to visualize the record group data using data blocks. Perhaps I'll just go with dynamically building the From-Clause.
I've looked into stored procedure based blocks a bit; it was confusing for me. Are the stored procedures stored in the database or are they defined in the form?

Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.5.0.2 :: BLock based on stored procedure

Trying to develop a form having a block based
on stored procedure. My form works fine if
the stored procedure having REF CURSOR as one
of the argument but if I am using dynamic SQL
in my procedure I can not use Strong REF CURSOR, so I had to use Pl/Sql Table as one of the parameter in the proceudre.
In that case when I run my form and Execute the query it just comes out of the form without displaying anything and also it doesn't throw any error.
Don't know what I am doing wrong.
Pl. Help...

I drilled down the proble further and identified that i can
recreatr the problem in any 7.3.4 database ....
But in 8.0.5 it's working fine .....
Is developer 6.0 is going to support Oracle 7.3.4
it'll be highly appreciated if any one from Oracle development
team can give me a response
