Business Components Data Form

I still seem to have a problem when using trying to use the Wizard to create a Dataform.
Eg. I have a brand new project, goto "File" menu, select "New" and then select "Business Components Data Form" and i get this message:
"No Business Component Application
modules found in this JDeveloper workspace. There is not enough informaion to create a Business Components Data Form."
Anyone know what im doing wrong ? Ive used the online help, but that didnt help me :)
Im open to suggestions
Cheers

Try using -
1- File/new .jws
2-File/new project
3- New project-application
4- Application wizard-info bus data form
5- select options-as you wish
6- save and run
Thanks

Business Components Data Tags Library Concern

I am in process of upgrading our application from 9.0.2 to 9.0.5. I noticed many notes in the documentation to use ADF UIX when designing new pages.
Is the Business Components Data Tags Library still supported? Is it still available in 10.1.2? Are there plans to de-support or deprecate these tags.

Check out this document http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/others/desupport10g.html
You don't need to do JSP development with UIX though, in JDeveloper 10g we use expression language to bind the JSP to the BC4J (now called ADF BC) layer.
Check out for example this online demo:

Tutorial - Building Business Components

I am using Oracle JDeveloper3.0 (Build 532) on Windows NT. I am trying to work through the above tutorial, but when I try to invoke the Business Components or New Entity Objects, nothing happens.
Have not installed some components correctly ? Do I need to make any changes to the Gallery.INI file ?
Thank you very much for your response..
Sudarshan

Sudarshan,
It should never be necessary for you to edit your gallery.ini to get default installation behavior.
Are you sure you sucessfully installed JDeveloper?
My JDeveloper 3.1 Gallery.ini looks as pasted below. Yours should look similar.
You may have to re-install.
I hope this helps,
-John

Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

Hi Everybody,
if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
Thank all guys
Bye
Maurizio

Thanks EW for your answer,
YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
I have 500 account members.
For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
{Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
"PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
endfix
So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
Thank you Ew, thank you guys

How to use an existing data model using Business Components in OEPE

I am a beginner in ADF. I am working on a project with an existing data model that uses Business Components (EO, VO and AM). I know that OEPE does not handle the creation of BC, so if I want to modify them, I will have to do that in JDev. That's fine.
OEPE can create pages with drag and drop like in JDev. In my eclipse ADF projects, I would like to use the existing BC, to be able to use the bindings with ADF Faces. So far I have nothing in the Data Controls tab.
How to import the BC into the Data Controls tab?
JDev 11.1.1.6
WLS 10.3.6
Eclipse Kepler

We currently don't support DataControls based on the ADF BC technology. We will consider such support if there is a strong interest in that use case.
Independent of the IDE's you use, there are ways to expose services based on ADF BC that can then be consumed by the view layer. A Google search will point you to some of the approaches.
HTH. Thanks for your interest in OEPE.

How to load data from XML DOM into tables using Business Components


Hi,


I need to upload XML file (it's not a problem) an load data (DOM tree) from this file into relationan tables. This filelooks like this:


<Departments>
 <Department>
 <DepartmentName>OPERATIONS</DepartmentName>
 <Localization>BOSTON</Localization>
 <Employees>
 <Employee>
 <LastName>TURNER</LastName>
 <Job>SALESMAN</Job>
 <Manager>7698</Manager>
 <HireDate>1981-09-08</HireDate>
 <Salary>1500</Salary>
 <Commerce>0</Commerce>
 </Employee>
 </Employees>
 </Department>
</Departments>


Is there any Business Components support to obtain this ? What about primary and foreign keys values (there is no in XML file). How to place this XML data in appropriate tables ?

Integrating ADF Business Components from heterogenous data sources

Hi all,
has anybody experience in integrating ADF Business Components from heterogenous data sources like ViewObjects from a DB2 database as LOV in a ViewObject from a Oracle 11g?
What is the best practice approach to integrate such different ADF Business Components in declarative and programmatic ways?
Thank you!

thank you for the answer! We already updated out BC according to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/multidatabaseapp-085183.html
The DB2 ViewObjects are exported as ADF Libraries and imported in the BC of the project with Oracle DB ViewObjects. In the root AM I created instances from the imported DB2-ViewObjects as well as from the Oracle-ViewObjects, but when I start AM test environment it takes the preconfigured Data Source of the root AM. So I probably will pesneed to create two AMs for the different ViewObject types and for the two connection types. My question is what will be best practices to use data from the DB2-VO of AM_DB2 in the OracleDB-VOs as part of AM_Oracle? Should it be done only programmatically or can it be done also declaratively and any suggestions how to proceed?
Thank you!

Calculate Data Form - Business Rule

I am a little confused on how the default "Calculate Data Form" business rule works which is available when we create a new data form.
When run, does it calculate the entire cube as in it works like - CALC ALL; ? Or does it just calculate the dimensions/members specific to the form. I always thought that it is specific calculation for the data form - which considers the selection that we have in our POV, Page and rows and columns and it doesn't calculate the entire cube. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If anyone has any resourse that has more about it, please share the link or information. It will be a big help.
Please let me know.
Thank you!
~ Adella

Thank you so much John for responding to my question.
So, if I understood it right you were telling me that it doesn't calculate the entire database, but it only calculates the subtotals for those specific member combinations that are there on the dataform and displays it on the form after the business rule is launched. Hope now I understood it right.
Actually, I am running into an issue where I am just changing two cells on my dataform, then running the "Calculate Data Form" to see the totals changing accordingly but it is taking way too long than expected and also it is not rendering the right result. I am not sure what is causing this delay if it were only to calculate things specific to the data form and show the results.

Enhance Req: Business Components Browser close data viewer

Hi JDev team
Regards the Business Components Browser in JDev 11g TP with an open data viewer. To close the data viewer you need to right click on the tab then select Close.
Can you raise an enhancement request please for a 1 click close facility, such as floating the mouse over the tab, an X button appearing in the right side of the tab, which with 1 click closes the tab.
Thanks,
CM.

Help required building ADF-Swing/ADF-Faces using ADF Business Components

My question is in regards to how you can go about building a light swing application to an ADF model?
In particular if I were to say that we were developing a 3-tier project whereby we had a database tier, a series of EJB-ADF façade session beans to the database (middle-tier), and a swing client communicating with the session beans (view-controller tier), how would you go about developing these screens?
In particular can we develop these screens using ADF-Faces and also ADF-Swing?
The EJB session façade beans of course are ADF app modules with customised methods. The methods would return back customised DTO objects. These DTO objects are wrappers to row objects ADF would create. This would be mainly due to making these facade beans web service enabled (Oracle state that these methods cannot return oracle.jbo objects if they are to be web service enabled).
This would be typically deployed to an app server, like Oracle App Server 10G.
Could you please have a look at this, as I am doing a lot of research into this.
eg. Taking example from oracle magazine sept/oct 2006
with slight enhancements
package oramag.frameworks.example.common;
import oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule;
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public interface HRService extends ApplicationModule {
void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit();
EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId); // new method
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public class HRServiceImpl extends ApplicationModuleImpl {
public void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit() {
Row empRow = getEmpView().getCurrentRow();
if (empRow != null) {
empRow.remove();
getDBTransaction().commit();
public EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId)() {
EmployeeDTO employeeDTO = null;
EmployeesImpl employees = getEmployees();
employees.setNamedWhereClauseParam("EmployeeId", employeeId);
employees.executeQuery();
if(employees.hasNext()) {
EmployeesRowImpl employee = (EmployeesRowImpl)employees.next();
employeeDTO = new EmployeeDTO(employee);
return employeeDTO;
public EmployeesImpl getEmployees() {
return (EmployeesImpl)findViewObject("Employees");
Now given the above code snippet, how could you turn this into an ADF-Swing/ADF Faces application so that if a user using the swing application enters an employee id, then the application will execute the query on the app server, the app server in turn returns the results to the client, and the client finally display the results. Typical MVC example.
Cheers
Rodney

The tutorial is for ADF BC used with JavaServer Faces.
While the tutorial doesn't cover it, we also support drag and drop development for Swing and visual WYSIWYG layout for Swing panels and windows, too. For a very simple example, watch screencast #4 on my blog here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/06/24/jdeveloperAdfScreencasts.html
One thing I have noticed is that when using ADF business components, when the app module returns a custom DTO object like the above example, it returns the data in a element structure according to the data control palette.
You don't generally ever need to create your own custom DTO's when working with ADF for use by client UI's. The only situation where can be necessary -- until we simplify this in the JDeveloper/ADF 11g release -- is when you desire to expose custom methods that can return sets/arrays of typed row structures through a web service. However, web services are not involved/required in building 3-tier Swing applications.
When dropping onto a page it does so like a string and doesnt give option to display the data in a read only form etc. Is there anything we need to do, to get the functionality.
It's more of what you don't need to do :-)
Just leverage the active data model that the ADF application module provides. You can read more about it in section 4.5 "Understanding the Active Data Model" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html). Your UI's bind to view object instances in the data model, and your UI's are automatically kept up to date without needing to write methods that return data. I short article I wrote that preceeded my writing the ADF Developer Guide content on this topis is here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2006/01/26/theAdfBusinessComponentsActiveDataModel.html
I know that when dropping a view object you get this functionality. Also was wondering if we were to pass an object of thios type back to the model it might not give us the rich functionality like input forms, like what Oracle provides if we were to drop a enitity view object.
Just use the active data model and everything becomes totally easy, with no changes required to switch between local or three-tier deployment configurations.
Trying to do everything with hand-coded DTO beans is really going the hard way.
Could you help us regarding this?

HBR sequence on data form does not execute when Planning data form is saved

Has anyone experienced this issue before in Planning? Below I have included the scenario and what has been attempted to correct the situation.
We are using Hyperion Planning/Essbase 9.3.1, sequence contains 3 business rules - 2 executed on the Workforce Cube and 1 transfers totals from Workforce Cube to Main cube. 2 of the BR's contain run-time prompts - 1st BR in the sequence (calculation in Workforce) and 3rd BR in the sequence (transfer of Workforce totals to Main). We are using Projects to assign access priviledges to the BR's and sequences. All 3 business rules, as well as the sequence itself, validate successfully in the admin services console.
In Planning the data form contains BR Properties to "Save on Exit", "Use members on data form" and "Hide prompt". Have tried removing BR from data form, then put BR back on data form. Also tried building a new sequence in EAS console and attaching that BR to the existing data form. Neither of these attempts were successful. Tried building an entirely new data form with the newly created sequence, still unsuccessful. Was able to execute the sequence successfully when processed from the Tools -> Business Rules menu. Sequence was once again successful when I tried modifying the data form to remove property "Hide prompt". Problem with leaving the form in that state is, our users would not know which Planning server they were on as they access the Planning application through Workspace and we currently have 2 application servers in this environment - so essentially they have a 50/50 chance of selecting the correct server.
We have this same setup in another environment where the execution of the sequence on the data form works successfully. We have compared everything that I can think of and it all appears the same in both environments - in fact this used to be successful in this environment, but all of a sudden stopped working earlier this year - we have not applied any patches or upgrades to either environment. Do not know if this is relevant or not, but we do currently utilize Netscaler in both of these environments.
Any experiences with this type of situation or suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a solution for you but more steps to solve the problem
You are ultimately on the right track in some ways but break it down into it's components.
The problem could like in the business rule, the form connection, the variables, even the order of operations could all be in play.
So I would strip this baby down to its bare bones then build it back up.
1) Run the business rule. Each one separately and only after the previous ones is complete without variables and without touching the form
Is it successful: go to 2
If it isn't successful: trouble shoot the calc and or try running in EAS natively to see if that gives you ideas
2) Run the calc outside the form but with variables included. Did it prompt you correctly.
Is it successful: go to 3
If it isn't. What is wrong with the variable
3) Now attach it to the form but don't hide the prompts
Still good go to 4
4) hide the prompts and run on save
And if it fails on step four then it's not picking up the right variables in the prompt. And you need to look at why it wouldn't grab the right item.
This will isolate your problem for you and give you steps to fix it. Ultimately 99% of the time something did change in the structure for example that is impacting the calc. And when you isolate the problem this will reveal itself quite quickly.

Not a visible GUI in Business Components Type of Application

Hi ,
Trying to discover the various types of JDeveloper 10g , I have developed a very simple form (Business Components Application) based on emp , dept data tables.
However , i don't see any visual object... as in a SWING Application....
At runtime , some objects - text fields , menus,,,e.t.c. are appeared.
Is it possible to modify the visual objects of these objects at design time...?????
Thanks , a lot
Simon

The BC Browser is just a tester - it create a default UI to ease testing.
If you want to configure the user interface, create a Swing application based on your ADF BC. See the JDeveloper tutorials page for more info.
