Button to trigger action then call URL

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a web dynpro button which when pressed triggers an action. Within the method of this action i want to execute some ABAP code then call a website URL.
Is this possible and does anyone know what the syntax for the URL call would be.
Thanks in advance
Mart

Hi Mart
Use this piece of code in the onaction method of the button
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
EXPORTING
    URL            = 'http://www.google.com/'
RECEIVING
    WINDOW         = lo_window.
lo_window->open( ).
Hope this helps u

How can I call my chart in Forms6i on When Button Press Trigger?

Hi Friends,
I have make a chart in Graphic Builder 6i and save on path C:\graph\test.ogd
Now I want to run this Chart from Form6i on When Button Press trigger.
I have call my report in forms using this command on When Button Press trigger.
Run_Product(reports,'C:\Cheema\Qdir_store\reports\pmms\sec_backlog',asynchronous,runtime,filesystem,TO_CHAR(NULL));
So tell me How can I call my chart in Forms6i?
Please reply me on urgent.
Thanks,
Shahzad

Just to recall after a long break of couple of years..... Pls check out if not wrong.
First of all you need to embeed the chart object on your layout window and make it visible = FALSE. This is a design time work. In the button press event, show the chart object by setting the visible property = TRUE.
Note, i could not paste u the sample code as i don't have forms installation on my PC. The above states is a logic you can apply.

Use Action to call JSP method instead for forwarding to another url

I have a servlet button to save data I have entered on a form. The only way I understand to save the data when the button is pressed is to use ACTION and call up a .jsp to do the work like this:
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/learningJSP/UpdateStudentInfo.jsp" METHOD="POST">
and here's the .jsp that sets my current properties from the form and saves them.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<jsp:useBean id="studentDataBean"
class="learningservlets.StudentDataBean"
scope ="application"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="studentDataBean" property ="*" />

<%studentDataBean.saveData();%>
<jsp:forward page="PresentStudentData.jsp" />
<H1>
UpdateStudentInfo Bean
</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The problem I have with using this approach is my user is sent to another page. Is there anyway to complete the above task transparently (i.e. without making the user go to the page that does all of the work)?
Thanks for any assistance you may offer.

Use this,
UpdateStudentInfo.jsp
<%@ page import="learningservlets.StudentDataBean" %>
<jsp:useBean id="studentDataBean"
class="learningservlets.StudentDataBean"
scope ="application">
<jsp:setProperty name="studentDataBean" property ="*" />
</jsp:useBean>

<%
studentDataBean.saveData();
response.sendRedirect("PresentStudentData.jsp");
return;
%>
Hope this helps.

Frm-40735 when-button-pressed trigger raised unhandled exception ora-03114

hi everybody,
i am using oracle 10g release 2 in my test server and 10g release 1 in production server with forms in 10g running through the oracle 10g application server with no problem with our production server.
but the same form when i try to use through the same application server for my
with my test database server which is oracle 10g release 2 is giving me
frm exceptions and disconnecting the session.
like i get frm-40735 when-button-pressed trigger raised unhandled exception
ora-03114. then frm-40655 sql error forced rollback;clear form and reenter transaction. then when i try to exit it shows ora-24324 service handle not initialized.
The same thing when i try with my production server i dont get any exception handle error or forced rollback error.
i am not facing any problem as such to connect to my test database(release 2)
through sql plus client or TOAD OR ENTERPRISE MANAGER THEY ARE ALL FINE. IT IS ONLY WHEN I GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION SERVER TO ACCESS MY FORMS I GET THIS ERROR. BUT MY PRODUCTION IS RUNNING THE SAME WAY WITH NO ERRORS.
any suggestions welcome as i have to bring release 2 in the production next month
thanks and regards
manish

ORA-03114 not connected to ORACLE
Cause: A call to Oracle was attempted when no connection was established. Usually this happens because a user-written program has not logged on. It may happen if communication trouble causes a disconnection. In addition, this message could occur when ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION or ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION were issued with the IMMEDIATE qualifier because, in those cases, the client's connection to the database is terminated without waiting for the client to issue a request.
Action: Try again. If the message recurs and the program is user written, check the program.

FRM-40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502

Hi,
I am trying to run a form in which I have a button which when pressed should display another popup window with few text fields in it. I have a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger on that particular button and its raising an exception called
FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502.
When I debug the form with breakpoints its displaying the popup window correctly, but if I run it in a browser as soon as click the button it raises the Unhandled exception given above.
Can anyone help with this? Urgent please....
Thanks

It is VERY good to handle your exceptions, specially a certain pre-defined exceptions like NO_DATA_FOUND, TOO_MANY_ROWS, ZERO_DIVIDE etc...
You can also find samples on how to create user-defined exceptions, just search the online forms help (press the question mark in forms builder) for "User-Defined"
But however you handle your exception never ever do
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;If you do that you are telling to forms that no matter what kind of error is thrown do nothing, now that's very dangerous.
You might also want to check Oracle's documentation on [url http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=5]Application Development and do a search on "Exception Handling"

Has anyone used a Button to trigger ISF Code

Has anyone used a Button to trigger ISF Code
RequestCenter 2008.3
Oracle 10g
Websphere 6.1
IE6 & IE7
Hello:
The documentation specifies that a button can trigger a javascript instead of opening a browser window. Has anyone done this?
Below is the section of the documentation that I am referring to.
Thank you
Daniel
Safeway Inc.
Designers can specify a caption (text to appear on the button)
and a URL. The URL can point to a JavaScript function or to
an external page accessible elsewhere on the network.
When referring to an external web page, use the fully qualified URL.
• The URL may point to a JavaScript function, available in a library,
or embed JavaScript code. Form data cannot be included in the
parameters, if any, included in a function call. However, the function can include ISF.

Hi Daniel,
First you'll need a dictionary field to contain the button. Add this dictionary to your Active Form Component.
Then in ServiceDesigner, go to Active Form Components, select your form, go to Display Properties tab, select the field, and check the "Add a Button" checkbox. Also enter the appropriate Button Text. Then In the URL field, enter "javascript:myFunction();" without the quotes, where myFunction is the name of your JavaScript function.

Button that does not redirect to url

can i create button that does not redirect to url
to perform a function or action on page, for instance
i want button to call plsql function but not redirect
Message was edited by:
windo

Hi,
Yes you can...
When you create the button, don't set anything for the page / URL redirect. Then go to your pl/sql process definition and set it to fire "when button pressed..." Finally, just make sure you either have a branch set, as a default, redirecting back to your current page or create a branch specifically for "when button pressed..." as well. I usually create a default branch back to the current page for any page that can be submitted with a sequence of 999 (and no conditions) so that it is (usually) the last redirect that is evaluated. This will always save the error "No page to redirect to..." and also saves creating a bunch of unnecessary branches
Hope this helps,

Ticker bean and WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger

Hi,
In Forms 6i, I use the Ticker bean. The problem with it, is that it appears on all canevas of my form.
But if the bean is "stopped" (i.e. the clock is stopped), it works fine and it does not appear on the next canevas I show.
However, I must have a button for the "stop" and another one that shows my next canevas. If I put the two code lines in the same WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of a unique button, the ticker bean is still visible in the new canevas.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Olivier.

Olivier,
I think I remember having heard of this before. The reason for this could be that the ticker bean uses AWT classes, which are heavyweight. All you can try is to call
synchronize;
between starting and stopping the ticker if using one button only. If this doesn't help, then I don't know of any other solution that could work.

               return false;
          end if;
     end loop;
end v_check;
When i click on save_Record button it commit the form i'm checking the emp_name field with this validation by calling the above function.
for save_Record button i have written this code WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger
declare
     a number;
begin
     if :iptable.ip_name is null or (not v_check(:iptable.ip_name)) then
          set_alert_property('alert',title,'name validation');
          set_alert_property('alert',alert_message_text,'null ans spl char are not allowed');

thanks...

Hi,
Your function v_check actually can return a NULL value wich is not TRUE neither FALSE.
Modify your function like this :
function v_check(p_item_name varchar2)
return boolean is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
for i in 1..length(p_item_name)
loop
if substr(p_item_name,i,'1') in ('1','2','3','$','%','@','!','#') then
l_return := false;
end if;
end loop;
return l_return;
end v_check;

Crash when creating advanced action with "open URL"

Hi there,
my crash problem (captivate 5.5, win 7 64 bit, adobe PP CS6 installed):
On one slide of my project, I have a slide video and a button at a certain point. First I created an advanced action (open URL in a new window and pause slide video). Then I saved the action and assigned it to the button. Til here, all was ok.
Then, I wanted to change the URL in the advanced action.
When I opened the created action, the "open URL"-parameter disappeared, but the table row was shown empy:
Then I wanted to assign a new URL. After creating a new "open URL"-paramter I wanted to save the changes. And then captivate crashed with this fatal error:
And from this time, every time I want to change - or even create a new action with the above mentioned parameters - captivate crashes.
can anyone reproduce this error? Is this a bug (or a feature ;-), or did I something wrong?
Thanks
Markus

Hi Aditya,
thanks for your post.
2. Create a new project and try the same thing
I created a new project....same problem...
If you face the same channel, then try recreating the Adobe Captivate preferences. Please follow the steps mentioned here :
1. Close Adobe Captivate.
2. Locate the preference folder:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5.5 folder
3. Rename the preference folder.
I didn't found a preference folder in the captivate 5.5 folder. Here is my captivate 5.5 folder:
what to do now?? Now I am at a loss...

Frm-40735-when-button-pressed trigger raises unhandled exception ora-01430

Hi,
I am running my developer6i application on winxp on one of my clinet side I got error frm-40735-when-button-pressed trigger raises unhandled exception ora-01430 when I press the button which give me the alter button to select yes or no before this the error araises.. but in the other client side its working correctlly with no such error message on same OS and developer6i version...

i suppose you are getting 1403 and not 1430
++++++
Error: ORA 1430
Text: column being added already exists in table
Cause: An ALTER TABLE ADD statement specified the name of a column that is
already in the table.
All column names must be unique within a table.
Action: Specify a unique name for the new column, then re-execute the
statement.
++++++
1403 is no data found
so most likely you are executing a
select ... into ...
which is user dependent through where clause
that might be an explanation to your problem
but more info is needed on that
and surely you must clarify the ORA error you are getting.

Trigger actions through a program

Hi experts,
Here is my business functionality.
I have to implement a badi for a customer request in crm. this would check the product against the reason code entered. If both match then i need to trigger action (actions are already defined) otherwise i have to collect error message in application log. I am through with the later half but dont know how to proceeed to action triggering.
Can somebody pls help me out. Thanks in advance

Hi Manuel,
I have already seen that blog but when i copied the program , it gave me the error when the method for triggering the action is called. it gave me a short dump sayin
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component (variable: "LV_ACTION").
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
at line CALL METHOD lv_action->set_is_inactiv( space ).. "
and since i have never used this method, i dont know how to solve this error. so can you please help me out with this

How do I execute a 'remote' when-button-pressed trigger?

I am using Forms 6 in an 8i/10g environment. I have a data block (COMPACT) which is on canvas MAIN. Compact has an item (button) called CREATE_COMPACT, with a when-button-pressed trigger. I also have an error canvas which has a button called RESTART, so they can restart the entire build after an error. The restart code is exactly the same as the create_compact code, and, after the restart, I want the focus to be the main canvas, so I would like to just have the restart when-button-pressed trigger shift focus to the CREATE_COMPACT trigger and execute it. I have tried:
go_item( 'Compact.Create_Compact' );
do_key( 'Enter' );
This switched me to CREATE_COMPACT but did not execute the trigger. I then tried:
execute_trigger( 'Compact.Create_Compact' );
and then:
execute_trigger( 'Create_Compact' );
but neither of these work. I get error FRM-40700 no such trigger. Is there any way to do this short of copying code or creating a pl/sql procedure?
thanks

do_key('ENTER') will execute the code in a KEY-ENTER trigger so I suggest you move your code into the KEY-ENTER trigger. On your when-button-pressed trigger you should also use do_key('ENTER');
