Call a dynamic action automatically on a regular basis

Hi,
We have a classic report on a page which we would like to refresh automaticallly every X minutes. We have done this using setInterval and $a_report however as I understand, this is unsupported functionality... So I would like to go down the dynamic action route.
But my question is this... how can I call the dynamic action automatically say every 3 minutes, without any user interaction?

Hi John,
maybe it's easier for you to get the approval because it's a plug-in we (Oracle) provide.
You mentioned that you already had a setInterval with $a_report solution in place. Instead of the unsupported $a_report you can use the supported
jQuery( "#static_id_of_your_report_region" ).trigger ( "apexrefresh" );to trigger a refresh of your report region. That will be identical to the "Refresh" dynamic action. But I would still suggest to go with the "Timer" dynamic action plug-in, because this will be more transparent for other developers when looking at your page.

HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION not working when called from Dynamic action

Hi ,
       Senario : I would like to execute a form from dynamic action which
creates a record in 0015 (Additional payment IT) .
       I have writen the code as shown below am using FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION
. When i execute the program from se38 it is creating a record, however it is
not created when it is called from dynamic action..when i debugged the code in
inside the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION there is a FM HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA where
they are using call dialog (statement) and
sy-oncom = 'N'   when called from Dynamic action and
sy-oncom = 'S'   when called executed directly.
I tried to change the sy-oncom to S while run from Dynamic action it created
the record.
So Can anyone explain me abt sy-oncom and how can i resolve the issue..
code..

Hi Senthil
Why at all U want a subroutine to create a record in IT0015 through Dynamic action.There are some standard codes available to update infotypes.
Let me give U an example
14     9CON     BETRG     4     2     I     INS,0015 This will create a record in IT0015 when IT0014 is updated with Wagetype 9CON
14     9CON     BETRG     4     3     W     P0015-LGART='5400' Set wagetype for IT0015(Here U can use a subroutine call to set the wagetype)
14     9CON     BETRG     4     4     W     P0015-BETRG=P0014-BETRG set amount for IT0015(Here U can use a subroutine call to get the amount)
14     9CON     BETRG     4     5     W     P0015-BEGDA=P0014-ENDDA set the dates(Here U can use a subroutine call to set the dates)
Hope this will help U.

HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION called inside Dynamic action

I am writing a subroutine called by dynamic action.
Where using FM 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' i have to delimit or delete the records of infotype 0167.
Although, HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION, is executing with return is 0. but there is no change in the infotype reocrd.
The same code written independent without called from Dynamic action, infotype record is been updated.
Any help would be highly appriciated.

Mail not send when subroutine is call in dynamic actions

Hi Friends,
I have facing a problem in sending a mail through dynamic actions . In this mail is not send to specific user mail-id.
Suggest me . What to be exactly done .
Regards,
Anish

First you have to understand what should be done...
ask your functional consulatant where exactly the Mails need to be retrived For example...
in infotype 0105 subtype '010' generally we have email ids avaialable of the employeee....
may be this helps or not give full specification some one can revert back.

Call a routine in a dynamic action.

Hi Experts,
i want to write a routine in which i can give the error msg while saving the infotype 0002 incase the given condition is not fulfilled.
Can you tell me where i can write this routine and how to call it in a dynamic action.
i hav written other types of dynamic actions before but never called any routine before
Plz give me the detailed info regarding writing a routine.
regards
TS

Hello TS,
You can do that using F in Indicator for step but iam not sure whether it will return an error message. We have user exits for this which might solve your issue. We have userexit PBAS0001 and in this EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 Function module, we need to write the code which ever you want to do.
For Calling FORM in Dynamic actions.
P - Check conditions
I - Maintain infotype record
W - Set default values when creating a new record
V - Reference to another step
F - Call routine
M - Send mail
Say you have a program ZTEST. In this you need to write the form that needs to be called in dynamic action and say for ex:form_test.
You can fill only structure RP50D values, because these values you can get it back to dynamic action. ypu can check for examples in dynamic actions it self which have 'F' indicator step.

Performance issues with dynamic action (PL/SQL)

Hi!
I'm having perfomance issues with a dynamic action that is triggered on a button click.
I have 5 drop down lists to select columns which the users want to filter, 5 drop down lists to select an operation and 5 boxes to input values.
After that, there is a filter button that just submits the page based on the selected filters.
This part works fine, the data is filtered almost instantaneously.
After this, I have 3 column selectors and 3 boxes where users put values they wish to update the filtered rows to,
There is an update button that calls the dynamic action (procedure that is written below).
It should be straight out, the only performance issue could be the decode section, because I need to cover cases when user wants to set a value to null (@) and when he doesn't want update 3 columns, but less (he leaves '').
Hence P99_X_UC1 || ' = decode(' || P99_X_UV1 ||','''','|| P99_X_UC1 ||',''@'',null,'|| P99_X_UV1 ||')
However when I finally click the update button, my browser freezes and nothing happens on the table.
Can anyone help me solve this and improve the speed of the update?

Ivan

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql_stmt;
END;

Hi Ivan,
I do not think that the decode is performance relevant. Maybe the update hangs because some other transaction has uncommitted changes to one of the affected rows or the where clause is not selective enough and needs to update a huge amount of records.
Besides that - and I might be wrong, because I only know some part of your app - the code here looks like you have a huge sql injection vulnerability here. Maybe you should consider re-writing your logic in static sql. If that is not possible, you should make sure that the user input only contains allowed values, e.g. by white-listing P99_X_On (i.e. make sure they only contain known values like '=', '<', ...), and by using dbms_assert.enquote_name/enquote_literal on the other P99_X_nnn parameters.

Using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION in external subroutine for Dynamic Actions

Hi,
I am calling an external subroutine in the Dynamic Actions of an Infotype. In this external subroutine, I am using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to modify OTHER records of the same Infotype number.
However, when I tried to trigger the Dynamic Actions in PA30, the other infotypes get modified as intended. But when I refreshed the PA30 screen, the changes were reversed back as if the HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION were not carried out at all. I have COMMIT WORK after the HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION, refreshed the buffer. But it doesn't seem to work.
My question is: Can i use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION in an external subroutine which is called during dynamic actions? As I have some complicated logic, I do not want to embed the coding in the Dynamic Actions. Is there a way for HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to work in the external subroutine with the changes being committed to the database?
Thank you.

Hi,
I remember the same problem being faced by some of the forum members.
Suresh Datti had replied that "Call the subroutine in a nother program using a SUBMIT statement. This will create two sessions and will update the DB". This was working fine for the users.
Hope you can try this.
Just call a program using SUBMIT statement and code your form routine inside that.
Hope this helps you.

Subbu.

Reading a session variable from a dynamic action

I have a select list on a page and a button next to the select list. The button calls a dynamic action which opens a page and sends the value in the select list. The page is not submitted. The DA has a step with a dummy PL/SQL block that submits the select list item. Then the page is called with the select list in the URL.
The value is not being sent. If I go into edit mode then run the page again then the correct value is sent.
When I look at session in Administration the select list is in session and set properly but is not sent unless the page is submitted.
Why if it is in session is it not being passed correctly? What does submitting the page do other than update session?

Hi,
could you share the exception trace ?

How to process Dynamic Action in BDC

Hi friends.
We are using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to update some infotypes. The problem is that dynamic action does not get triggered as SY-BINPT = 'X' when we use this FM or BDC to update.
Now, is there any workaround so that we can process dynamic actions via our program?
Can somehow we call the subroutine DYN_ACTION from our program? Can the values of PSAVE etc be availabe in our program?
Thanks in adv!

Hi
Its kind of complicated to code dynamic actions in your BDC code. However , I would try my best to make you understand.
1. Make a BDC recording of the source screen.
2. Dynamic actions are stored in table: T588Z. Now during your screen processing of BDC data, you have to check the conditions yourself whether this was the condition which triggers the dynamic action.
3, Make another BDC recording of the target screens which are called due to dynamic actions. Now if the condition in the source screen is fullfilled and you have to call a dynamic action then direct your program flow to the BDC recording of the target screen and update all the fields which would be updated by Dynamic Actions in the normal user interaction of that screen.
In short, you have to program all those things which Dynamic action does since BDC does not support dynamic actions.
Reward points, if helpful.

How to raise Error Message in foreground through Dynamic Action?

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to raise an error message in foreground so as to stop processing whenever HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION fails to update a record in a dynamic program. I tried using MESSAGE statement but it did not work, as the error message was not displayed properly on the Infotype screen that calls the dynamic action.
For ex.: If infotype PA0000 is calling PA0014 through dynamic action, then I want the error message to be displayed on the Actions Screen of PA0000.
Is there any specific way to raise error messages through dynamic action programs?
Quick answers will be appreciated.

HI Sanjana,
In the Substitution exits you can create the message in the configuration it self.
You dont't need raise message explicitly.
Thanks,

Thanks.You cannot fire the ARF because it is designed to run when the page is rendered and it cannot be called as a standalone
Create a dynamic action as follows to fetch the form detials
Action: Execute PL/SQL Code
PL/SQL Code:
begin
select ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal
    into :P4_ENAME, :P4_JOB, :P4_MGR, :P4_HIREDATE, :P4_SAL

Page Items to Submit: P4_EMPNO

See this working example: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=32940:4
Login as test/test
If you want to make it more dynamic you can query the APEX metadata to find the form items on your current page
select * from apex_application_page_db_items
where page_id =:APP_PAGE_ID
and application_id = :APP_ID;

Info group being not called while using Dynamic Actions

Hi,
I am facing a scenario that, while we execute some action from PA40 like termination, then it will call my subroutine for dynamic actions which will be calculating the last day worked and updating the same in Info Type 0041.
For updating the IT 0041, i am using the function module HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA. and IT0041 is getting updated properly. But now the problem is coming that when the control comes out of subroutine, it is going back to the PA40 Screen and not to the next screen of the Info group.
What can be the cause for the same.
RND I have done on my part: I have commented/uncommented the return parametre RP50D-Date1, commented/uncomented the use of function modules to lock and Unlock the pernr.
Please give ur comments.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Nisha,
Not sure if I have understood correctly, but if you just wanted to calculate leaving date and write the same date in IT0041 then you don't need a function module:
1. Create a small program, as follows:
REPORT ZHR_PY_R0008                           .
INCLUDE MPPDAT00.
TYPE-POOLS HRQTA.
TABLES: P0000,
        RP50D,
        T001P.
ROUTINE CALLED BY TABLE T588Z
FORM CHANGE_DATE.
RP50D-DATE1 = P0000-BEGDA - 1 .
ENDFORM.                    " CHANGE_DATE
This program will give you the last working day written to RP50D-DATE1
2. Simply enter the following lines into table T588Z:
0000 04 499*- LEAVING ACTION - Populate Infotypes with leave date -*
0000 04 500 P T001P-MOLGA='08'
0000 04 501 P PSPAR-TCLAS='A'
0000 04 502 P PSPAR-MASSN='*'/X   (* equals your leaving action types)
0000 04 503 P PSPAR-MASSN='*'/X   (* equals your leaving action types)
0000 04 504 F CHANGE_DATE(ZHR_PY_R0008)
0000 04 505 ******** INF.0041 ********
0000 04 506 I COP,0041,,,(P0000-BEGDA),(P0000-ENDDA)/D
0000 04 507 W P0041-DAR07='*'   (* equals your date type)
0000 04 508 W P0041-DAT07=RP50D-DATE1
or if you are simply looking to delimit IT0041 with the leave date then replace lines 506-508 with:
0000 04 506 I MOD,0041,,,(RP50D-DATE1),(RP50D-DATE1)/D
0000 04 507W     P0041-ENDDA=RP50D-DATE1
This will solve your problem : - )

Dynamic Action on change automatically submit

Hi,
I have a tabular form (manually handled) with a text item that can be changed (Apex 4.0.2.00.07).
Each time the user changes the value of the text item, the changes automatically will be submitted.
Therefore I defined a dynamic action:
event:onchange
selection type: region
with javascriptcode: apex.submit({request:'SAVE'});
When I leave changed text item with tab-key everything works fine.
But when I leave changed text item through a button Click only the submit of dynamic action is performed and the button functionality is ignored.
The button click initiates the onchange event at the changed text item and then ignores everything after this event.
The enduser will not be able to understand the behavior of the application.
I have less experience in Java and JavaScript.
Is it possible to get the information if and which button was clicked, so I can decide at javascriptcode of the dynamic action what is to do?
Thanks,
Brigitte

Region static id shouldn be in bracketsYou missed the '#' informt of the region id.
why my original PL/SQL process did not work
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNTThis works only when the application array has values and that happens only when the page is submitted.When you submit the dynamic action , it isn't.
This script combined with script to detect changes makes apex page running very slowIf you use that PLSQL code(assuming it works as expected) , then its going to take a server request every-time you change a field in the tabular form and loop though all the array values(if they would be submitted before) and recalculate and compare the checksums . Isn't that going to be very inefficient.
As for that JS code, it only runs at the client side. You can do all the server side checks on submit, when the user expects some delay due to processing.

Can we call a report program or schemas in Routine [dynamic action] ???

Need Help calling Dynamic Action from Link in Interactive Report

Hello I have an Interactive Report. I would like to have a Dynamic Action called when the user selects a row (Clicks a Link).
I am running Application Express 4.0.2.00.07 on Oracle 11gR1.
Any help would be great.

Hi VANJ,
Sorry for the poorly written original post. I will be much more specific.
I have a Interactive Report on page 40. That report has a column named X_UID that is a link back to page 40 and sets a text item named P40_X_UID in a Region we will call "Form X" with the value of the column. That page refresh also then calls a Automated Row Fetch process to fetch all the values needed for the rest of the page items in the "Form X" region. Also "Form X" region has a conditional display on to only display when P40_X_UID is not null.
What I would like to do:
When the user clicks on link in the IR for X_UID instead of the "Form X" region becoming visible I would like to become modal. I am trying to use a Plug-In named "ClariFit Simple Modal - Show". I have it working with a Dynamic Action when you click a Page Item. But I would like to to work when the link is clicked and the data populated.
I hope that helps some.
