Calculated Field In ADF Form

I want to create calculated field.
I have 2 date fields, my user case is to calculate difference between those 2 date field and display difference on the fly to user.

You will need to write custom logic in a method of a managed Bean in your View Controller project.
follow these steps -
1)In the ViewController project ,create a java Class called <whatever_name_you want>.java
2) register the managedBean in TaskFlow->Overview-> Managed Bean say in pageFlowScope.
3)create a public method which returns a Number (of days or whatever you need) in your bean which calculates difference between the dates using Calender API (You can google for this)
4)Bind this method to the value property of the field which shows the difference between these fields.

Create Calculated Field in PHP Form

Hi,
I'm trying to create a calculated field that will work out the average of ratings given during the input of a form. This field will then submit the average value with the form at the end (which is why I need the value to calculate before the form submits - i.e., as the form is filled in).
I have found the following code (designed for HTML forms rather than PHP forms, but I'm hoping it might work). It doesn't seem to do anything - the field doesn't show any information. Help?
<script language=javascript>

</script>
Any suggestions gratefully received.

@uscart - Thanks for your thoughts. I think I may try and pursue the javascript option (considering how far I've gone with it) but don't quite understand your response. Does it matter if the input field isn't a text box? The fields are radio buttons (giving options 1-10), liek so:
<input name="Investment" type="radio" class="star" value="1"/>
<input name="Investment" type="radio" class="star" value="2"/>
<input name="Investment" type="radio" class="star" value="3"/>
<input name="Investment" type="radio" class="star" value="4"/>
...etc, etc, etc... for each of the input fields listed above.
Where do I put the calculate() function? After each "option", or is there a different reference? And does it need to be added to the GrandTotal field as well (the field in which the calcualtion is to be displayed)?
Thank you!

What is advisable for complex calculation fields in ADF?

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.1.2.0 with ADF 11g.
I have a screen where user is going to select couple of LOVs. Based on this selection one of my "read only field" should get refreshed.
This field should actually do calculation based on the 2 fields and another column of a table.
So for such cases is it advisable to build a function and call this from a binding method OR there is a better way of displaying a calulated field.
NOTE:
1. using the expression on a transient field is good if the calculated fields are available in the row. Here I have to fetch a value from a completely different table's column that is not present in the row. Again the value that will be fetched will depend on some other parameter which is available to me in the session
2. I am looking out to make this generic since these combination of fields are repeated in few of the screens and for same calculations
Kindly advice the ways in which this can be handled. And pls point the best from your view point.
Thanks in advance.

Any quick suggestion?

Problems!: calculated fields in Adobe Forms using the ISR/PCR framework.

Hi there,
I have made an Adobe form in the ISR framework. Everybody who is familiar with these forms in the framework knows that the adobe form is embedded in a standard webdynpro which consist of a roadmap with three steps.
Step 1: Fill out the form
Step 2: Check and fill the form
Step 3: Submit the form. After submit the form can be send to a manager or can be directly processed in SAP HR.
Problem 1:
When I test the adobe form and fill in a number in a field and click on next everything goes fine. But when I click on previous step the value which I filled in before is gone and put to 0,00.
Problem 2:
Also another problem is that calculated fields, do not show directly when clicking on next step. When you click on next step and then previous step, then you see the value of the calculated field.
Problem 3:
Also another problem is with the calendar function. When I fill in a date by hand and click on next the BADI behind the form sees 00-00-0000. When I use the calendar function everything goes well.
Who can help me with these 3 problems.
Greetings.

Hi Phil,
Interesting - I have a similar issue. We want to use the Request for Transfer scenario in ERP 2005, but it has not been developed in Adobe forms by SAP yet (it isn't available in 2004 either)! So, we have decided to use the old JSP PCRs instead.
Your issue is probably because you're using the same 2005 iviews to create your PCRs. The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form! If you assign the old PCR iviews to your manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
The next issue is the approval. In 2005, transaction SWFVISU has task TS50000075 configured as Java Webdynpro. You'll need to change that to iView, and specify ID = com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default. I'm following the UWL item type guide for this at:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b1/cc1357eead454bb144face4a66be7d/content.htm
Having said this, my approval is not working! The item type has clearly changed, because the workitem name is no longer a hyperlink (rather annoying), but when I hit the "Launch Task Page" button (default name I think) I get the error:
"Unable to perform action because the system returned an invalid URL"
I can't see this "invalid url" anywhere in the logs, so I can't see where it is getting it from, or what path, etc I'm meant to put! In your old system, what did you have as the "Server for ISR call" under "Additional Data for Scenario" in QISRSCENARIO? Also, what did you have in the "URL" box that appears under the Additional Data for Scenario button when you change the Entry Type to JSP?
Many thanks,
Russell.

Required Input fields in ADF form asterix alignment

Hi All,
I have a login form with two fields username and password which are both mandatory
I want to display it like this
Username * | |
Password * | |
when I choose required in the Property window it shows up like this
* Username | |
* Password | |
How do I bring it the asterix to the right of the label. I don't want to change the label value from 'Username' to 'Username *' as a workaround. Also the asterix needs to be red.
Please suggest
Thanks

I don't know of a way to easily (and cleanly) achieve this. Creating a custom component may be one option.
An alternative is to use a panelLabelAndMessage component (see below). Note that the asterisk is in actuality to the left of the inputText, rather than to the right of the label.
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="Username" id="plam1">
<af:inputText id="it2" required="true"/>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>

How to Create a ADF Form same like in Oracle Forms

Hi,
I need to create a Form in ADF where in on the top I have two text fields with LOV and one Text with out LOV and a button. Selecting values from the first two should populate the value of thid text
and pressing the button should actually populate the fields below.
Below I have several other fileds of which few are queried from the database and other are calculated fields (aka like control fields in Oracle Forms).
Now I am a Forms Developer and know quite a few things in ADF as well, like creating Master Details Forms and some of the work flows. Some basic functionaliy.
I want to make an attempt to create something like this which is created in Oracle Forms.
What I have tried as of now is create a query and added LOV to first Text. Displayed all the fields as ADF form and on top I have put a ADF Query panel , using this I am able to populate few of the columns.
Can someone tell me what is the best way to do the things which I have mentioned.
TIA

Hi,
If your need is to auto populate other employee fields of the page based on previous 2/3 fields like deptno, empno, loc, then you can achieve this with button action listener. You can add runtime bind variables to your view object and set them with user input values and execute query.
for e.g, you can add below code in your AMImpl class and expose it to UI and invoke it from UI (from page, create a managed bean and call AM method)
/***** Sample code only*****/
public void refreshVO(Integer EmployeeNo, Integer DeptNo, Integer locNo)
ViewObject vo = this.getEmployeeVO();
vo.setWhereClause(null);
vo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
//Adding empNO where clause
vo.setWhereClause("employeeno = :empNum);
vo.defineNamedWhereClauseParam("empNum", null, null);
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("empNum", EmployeeNo);
// similarly add logic for DeptNo, LocNo and you can additional check if they are null or not null
vo.executeQuery();

What is better to use a calculation field or to use stored procedure

Dear All
i want to know what is better to use a calculation field on oracle forms , or to do the calculation using a stored procedure at the data base level and fetch the results to the fields on the form
Best Regards

Hello Mohannad
the stored procedure approach might be more readable and maintainable when the calculation gets complicated.
And it might be easier to reuse when it's needed in another part of your application.

Help with some calculation fields

I'm trying to add a few calculation fields to a form but don't know how the script should be written.
All my fields are in a form called:
topmostSubform
The first field I need to calculate is a percent field;
name:
Current_Percent1
fields needed for calculation:
Current_Salary1/Current_CIP1
so Current_Percent1=Current_Salary1/Current_CIP1
I tried this on the script editor but it didnt work:
Current_Percent1.=(topmostSubform.Current_Salary1/topmostSubform.Current_CIP1)
can someone help me out?

Ok, looks like I got it. I did have it as formcalc but it looks like I wrote in too much info.
I got it to work by setting SHOW to *caculate and adding (Current_Salary1/Current_CIP1) only
Looks like I was making it harder than it needed to be.
Thanks

Best Solution for Creating an Onlne Purchase order form with multiple calculation fields

I am a bit confused. Our school has a Forms Central account which works great for our registration forms but I need to find a solution for creating an online purchase form with multiple calculation fields - I know that forms central does not support calculation fields (too bad) but I know that Acrobat Pro does... soooo...
Can you create the forms in Acrobat and then somehow integrate the advanced features into forms central? Do they talk to each other? Is this easy to do? .... I guess another way to putting it is can you create the forms in Acrobat including all of the advanced features for payment calculation and then host it online using Forms Central to manage and collect the data? (I guess that really is my question)
Thanks (how does this compare to a solution like Formstack?)

Hi, thanks.
The naming convention was the consistant up until a point when I read that you need a '.' syntax (?!) - does anyone know if this is true?
Attached is a version with Bernd Alheit's suggestion and with all the naming of the fields being consistant. It's still not working for me though after doing this and I'm stuck as to why, because I think it should work. I've also tried writing the calcualting line of code in the same manner that Bernd Alheit suggests before I came on here, and it wouldn't work then.
As with any coding, it must be something to which I have done, but I can't see it anywhere
Any ideas? Thanks for helping me
Cheers

Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form? If so, how?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed. I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field. The procedure for creating these escapes me. Does anyone have any insight?

Hi Gilad,
thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
Kind Regards,
Pete

Calculating fields in forms

Help -- I am tryiing to get certain fields in a form to calculate based on selection of other fields. The fields to be selected already have values in them. (The same format I have used for several years, just new set of forms)
I get through the point of setting up the field properties to calculate and I select Sum of... Then it simply will not let me select any fields to use for calculations -- unless I select all fields.
Please -- this is time sensitive and urgent any help responses needed and welcome!

Use the space-bar, or click a bit off to the center of the check-boxes on
the left of the field names in the list.

Developering ADF form in query mode (Oracle forms simulation)

Hi,
we have a requirement for developing the existing Oracle form using Oracle ADF. The existing Oracle form displays the form in query mode by default. We can enter the search criteria in any of the text fields and then execute query to get the results. If the user does not enter any search criteria, then the form loads specific record based on default criteria into the form. Could you please help developing similar form using ADF.
At present I created the view object with one bind variable and dragged the view as ADF form to the jspx page. Then I am launching the form in query mode (executing the find method on the view object using operation binding at the time of loading the page). After entering the query criteria in the form, If I click on a button I am executing a method in the managed bean. In the managed bean I am executing the "Execute" operation on the view and it is working fine.
But my problem is if the user does not enter the search criteria I have to pass default parameters to the view object and return the default record in the form.
Can you please help in resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

Hi Frank,
Thank you for providing information. I created the query panel with the table by dragging all the named criteria. But this is not the look we are expecting for this form. As we have to deveop ADF form with the same behavior as oracle forms, the user must be in a position to edit the data in the same field as that of query field.
As an example, we have to design a form for Dept table. We have to display all the columns of the dept view in the form at the time of launching the form in query mode. Once the user enters any search criteria in the form, we have to perform search and display the record(s) matching the query criteria in the same columns displayed in the form. User should not see any changes in the form layout.
If the user does not enter any data in the form, then we have to display the record(s) in the form with the specific department id(This department id can be calculated based on the data in another table).
Can you please help us in resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

Issue while reflecting the data to ADF form from ADF Table

Hi All,
I have one scenario as follows:
I have to open a form in entry mode. So I have used a Method Call activity in task flow to call "Create" in method call activity.
Then form opens in a entry mode. I have a adf table in the page showing the entered data.
When form opens in entry mode, instead of entering the values in the field User selects a record in ADF table, but due to the create mode of the form it will through me a error to fill mandatory fields.
Please tell me the way so that if user selects the record(in adf table) instead of entering new record, the value would reflect in the Adf form.
If I use a roll back on selecting the row of ADF table, then it is showing me this error "Row currency has changed since the user interface was rendered. The expected row key was oracle.jbo.Key[null ]" because there will be no row key in the cache when form opens.
Please suggest me the way to complete the task.
I am using jdeveloper 11.1.2.1.0
Thanks,
Gobi

no no your are complicating yourself. :) better your should provide your usecase.
first thing: go through the books & also adf blogs learn and understand the framework. as above person said.
i hope that you had method call create as activity as default while page rendering it make your af: form empty(that is ready fir insertion format).
so if your are doing like that.am sure it will throw some mandatory errors.
error will not resolve unless without entering any data's.
coming af:table why are using af:table - immediate = true / false(switching).
immediate = true - skip over validation or by pass some validation in some phase - based on the component which you are using. (say as if you are using editable value holder,af:coomand button).
grab the information here in an more legible manner.
http://adfpractice-fedor.blogspot.in/2012/02/understanding-immediate-attribute.html
let me know your usecase.
this will assist you

How do I subtract two fields in a form?

I am working on an expense form and I have everything working except one thing.
We have to subtract any over payments from previous expense reports on the current expense report. I am looking at the calculate tab of the Text Field Properties. But I do not see a way to subtract my two fields.
I then setup a field that contains a negative one, except when I display the field on the form, the negative one is a positive one. I did enter -1 as the default value to my "subtraction" field. I was then going to multiple negative 1 against the the over payment amount so I could get a negative over payment amount. I was then going to add the negative over payment amount to the total due and arrive at a net due, But this does not work.
Here is the calculation I am trying to do:
Total Expenses     (calculated field from all of the preceding fields.)
Deductible Expense       (user entered)
Net Expense check          (Total Expense - Deductible expense).
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
thanks,
Dennis

With Acrobat there are 3 calculations options.
"The field is the ____ of the following fields:" options are for sum, product, average, min, and max operations or for actions that could be repeated over multiple fields. One does not usually subtract or divide multiple fields in on action.
"Simplified field notation" uses only field names and values. Field names must start with an alphabetic character and should not have any spaces or special characters. Cannot perform conditional control statements or functions. Special characters or spaces can be in field names if the JavaScript escape character precedes the special character or space. The 4 arithmetic operations can be performed.
"Custom JavaScript calculation" has no restrictions on field names, control statements, functions or mathematical operations. One needs to access the field object and the value property of the field object.
