Calling a function in Pre-Authentication Process in Authentication Scheme

Hello all,
I want to call a function located somewhere inside apex (not in the database) from the Pre-Authentication Process in an Authentication Scheme.
Is it possible?
Regards Pedro.

Pedro
Possibly if you could unwrap the source of the package but basically you wouldn't want to mess with APEX's API.
If this is your function then you want it somewhere in one of your own schemas (you won't potentially break APEX and you will retain it when you upgrade).
If you wish, you could create your own authentication schema and only give yourself access to it (as well as execute to the applications parsing schema user). You could also just create it as in the application parsing schema
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY xxxxxxx WRAPPED This makes the source unreadable in the database. (remember to keep the original source yourself though!).
Hope this helps
Cheers
Ben

Calling JS function in pl/sql process

Hello!
I have a js function defined in 'HTML Header' :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function disp_alert()
alert("Data is invalid! Correct the data and click CONFIRM again.")
</script>
I also have a pl/sql process on this page. I want to call disp_alert function in a following way:
if ... then call function
else dbms_output.put_line('...');
end if;
How can I call this js function in 'if'??
Tom

There ARE ways to accomplish something like this, but they're much more complex.
You must create a JavaScript that uses APEX's built in AJAX components; a form button will call the JavaScript, which will in turn call a PL/SQL procedure saved as an "On Demance Shared Application Process." This procedure can run any checks you like against the DB, and return data to the Javascript to display in an alert.
You can see an example of this in use at an APEX page I created: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=19864:5
This isn't the same thing, but is accomplishing what it does through an APEX form, a javascript call on the text field to a PL/SQL Process that returns rows from the database dynamically...thus allowing the client side JavaScript to call server side PL/SQL.

Calling Javascript function from PL/SQL Process

I am new to APEX and Javascript so please forgive my question.
I have a process on page which successfully runs a few procedures etc. but now, as part of this process, I want to call a javascript function I have typed into the HTML Header.
My question is how can I call the javascript function from my process? Is it possible?
Many thanks
Winnie
ps. as an example my javascript looks like:
<script language="JavaScript">
function test(){
var decision = confirm("Click a button below and watch what pops up next.");
alert(decision);
</script>

Call javascript function after submit process

Hi,
How can I call javascript function after my submit process ?
Thanks.

Hi Carl,
You say that I must have an Item or region that contains my js with conditionnal display. With this method I can execute my js with specific request value.
My problem is that I tried to integrate the "save large value workaround" in my application with the APEX wysiwyg (fckeditor). To do that I have to call the javascript function clob_submit on the save button. This function save the value of my field but if I want to save other item value, how can I do that ?
If I use your method, I will submit the page, save the other field and after that, I will branch on the same page. At this moment, I will execute my javascript file.
Is it what did you said ?

Pre-mapping process seems to be called after instead of before

Hi,
I'm new here and this is my first time posting, so please be gentle! :-)
Running OWB 10.2.0.1.0 on an oracle 10g target db and a 9i source db.
I have a mapping which contains a pre-mapping process and it contains a simple mapping from a source view into the target table.
When I look at the generated code, the pre mapping process is at the bottom, after the main insert part of the mapping.
Next, when I perform a test, updating a test record and following it through the logic, it seems that the pre-mapping process really is in fact getting called after the main mapping.
Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks,
Sammi

Resolved. Pre-mapping works fine and as intended. Problem in logic was elsewhere.

Problems with pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i

Hi,
I was trying to use the pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i. Problem is that the manual does not specify how the inputs need to be connected to this operator.
Following is what I went through -
I created a mapping table operator and a mapping dimension operator and connected these two. Then i created a pre-mapping process operator selecting the LTRIM function. Further I connected one of the table attributes to this pre-mapping operator as input and connected the output of this pre-mapping operator to the appropriate dimension operator attribute.
On performing Validate, following error message was flashed -
VLD-2451 : Illegal connection to pre-mapping process operator
I am trying to learn how to use OWB 9i from the manual. So my interpretation of the use of the pre-mapping process operator may be wrong.
In any case kindly help,
Thanks,
Saju

Pre-mapping process is use to perform some operations preceding to mapping operation itself.
For example, if your mapping is designed to incrementally append data to table for the definite time interval (witch is a parameter of the map operation) you might want to perform the table data cleanup for that period. That will allow for reload data number of time.
In this case you have to define the procedure witch perform cleanup and than include the call to that procedure as a pre-mapping process.
Other examples of pre- and post mapping process is disabling referential integrity before loading and re-enabling them after loading.
Anyway, OWB documentation has clear definition for pre- and post-mapping processes.

Call Customer Functions.

Hi All,
What does the suffix "001" indicates in the command "Call Customer Function 001" ?
What are different types of Call Customer Functions?
In the Version ECC 6.0 There are some more functions which have been added such as 003, 004, 005.
Can anyone help me out from this differences ?
Thanks & Regards,
Swamy Kunche.

Hi Swamy,
If you have seen the components (function modules) of an enhancement from transaction SMOD, you see the name of the function module is structured as
EXIT_<main_program_nnn.
This nnn takes values e.g. 001, 002 etc.
Hence when you call
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '001' ... it calls the EXIT_<main_program>_001 function module in the respective enhancement.
Basically these function modules (components) in an enhanement are called from different pre-defined in the standard program and are there for you to modify standard processing. Hence additino of more components 003 etc. means SAP has given more support for customization/enhancement.
Cheers.

Pre-Mapping Process Operator

We are not getting any documentation, how to use Pre-Mapping Process Operator(I went through the help documentation and tried to apply whatever is there).
I am using this operator for a function that returns single value. The output of this operator I want to load into the Expression input and expression operator output I want to load into the target table. The output from the Pre-mapping Operator is blank when I am seeing indebugging mode. I am not getting result in execution mode also. Its a simple function that returns number. The function is
FUNCTION Tesppt RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
RETURN 100;
END;
I want to know how Pre-Mapping operator works . When I am using the function in expression it works fine.
I tried out simple mapping to load a table, it did not work out. The code generated is
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "TEREEES" AS
sql_stmt VARCHAR2(32767);
get_abort BOOLEAN := FALSE;
get_trigger_success BOOLEAN := TRUE;

get_status NUMBER(22) := 0;
-- Status variable for Batch cursors
"TEST_PP_St" BOOLEAN;
"PREMAPPING_0_VALUE" NUMBER;
-- Function Main -- Entry point in package "TEREEES"
FUNCTION Main RETURN NUMBER;
END "TEREEES";
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "TEREEES" AS

"TEST_PP_St" := FALSE;
IF get_trigger_success THEN

END IF;

Thanks in advance.

It will have one value and we need to fetch that value and this value will be constant for the the whole mapping as there is only one record. So, this the reason why we wanted to do this process before the start of the mapping. The code that I have pasted is sample that I did as an trial for testing how pre mapping process operator works.
Actually we are using expression and in expression for every record, we don't want to call a function. We want to call function once only so thats the reason why we are using Pre-Mapping Process operator. I don't think that there is anything better than this but the function returns no value when we are using the Pre-Mapping process operator but when I use this function in the outgroup of the expression it returns the value.
I wanted to see how Pre-mapping operator works, so we tried out simple mapping with simple function but did not work there also. This simple mapping code is there in the query that I asked first.
Thanks in Advance

Problem using pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i

Hi,
I was trying to use the pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i. Problem is that the manual does not specify how the inputs need to be connected to this operator. Following is what I went through -
I created a mapping table operator and a mapping dimension operator and connected these two. Then i created a pre-mapping process operator selecting the LTRIM function. Further I connected one of the table attributes to this pre-mapping operator as input and connected the output of this pre-mapping operator to the appropriate dimension operator attribute. On performing Validate, following error message was flashed -
VLD-2451 : Illegal connection to pre-mapping process operator
I am trying to learn how to use OWB 9i from the manual. So my interpretation of the use of the pre-mapping process operator may be wrong.
In any case kindly help,
Thanks
Saju

Pre-mapping process is use to perform some operations preceding to mapping operation itself.
For example, if your mapping is designed to incrementally append data to table for the definite time interval (witch is a parameter of the map operation) you might want to perform the table data cleanup for that period. That will allow for reload data number of time.
In this case you have to define the procedure witch perform cleanup and than include the call to that procedure as a pre-mapping process.
Other examples of pre- and post mapping process is disabling referential integrity before loading and re-enabling them after loading.
Anyway, OWB documentation has clear definition for pre- and post-mapping processes.

Tuning a procedure and using dbms_job.submit proc that call's functions

Hi
I have Procedure that have 3 curosrs which are nested one below with in each other
and it looks as below
it's structure will look some thing look like this
declare
empno_fetch number;
CURSOR deu_process IS
SELECT empno
FROM emp
WHERE flg_process = 'N'
AND ROWNUM <= 5000
ORDER BY empno;
CURSOR dup_all IS --c1 fetch around 400000 records
(select empno
from emp
where empno>l_empno
order by empno
where rownum<=empno_fetch;
CURSOR rules IS --c2
SELECT rule_id, rule_score, name_Of_func
FROM rule;
begin
l_count := 1;
OPEN dedupe_rule_attr;
LOOP
BEGIN
Here one loop is used for fetching 5000 records at time and
Here deu_process cursor is opened ,assume it fetches one record
Here another cursor dup_all is used for fetching the records and assume it fetched 400000 then
Here another cursor is opened name where it fetches 10 rows
Here logic is if first row then
call's stored function which has following functionalty
it compares fields such as address of outer most cursor i.e deu_process with all the address of the other rows i.e 400000 rows and return a number
if second row then
call's another stored function which has
compares other fields such as first name,last name
if third then other field
so on ....
up to 10
and then finally ends
so if i comment all the rules loop then it takes only one min to execute .If it validaes all of them if takes 14 minutes to execute .so there is problem in that 10 procedures to execute
So i found an approach to run all the rules simultaneously using dbms_job .But i face a problem that i can't uderstand how to send the input and out put parameter's to calling procedure.And these parameter's must be passed by variable from called procedure to calling procedure
Please suggest me what is the syntax of dbms_job with input and output parameters with variable's that must be passed as formal parameter's
Regarding DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT I am getting following error
Declare
x number:=1;
b number;
jobnumber number;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(JOB => jobnumber,
WHAT => 'vamsi_proc1('||x||');',
NEXT_DATE => (sysdate+1/(86400)),
INTERVAL => null);
--dbms_output.put_line('value of b is '||b);
COMMIT;
END;
Declare

begin
--a:=1;
insert into emp_vamsi(select 677,ENAME,SAL,DEPTNO,MANAGER from emp where empno=v);
commit;
--a:=2;
--x:=a;
end;
using dbms_job.submit proc that call's functions which returns out and in parameters to calling procedure environment .I can't get this with out using data base table's.
If you have any method for this Plese suggest
And also please suggest me weather using job's is a good idea ,If not than suggest me what ever will the other approach.
Thank's and Regard's

Hi 
I have looked at all sql trace file , 
I found that there is no problem in sql statemens all of them are using proper indexes execpt the folllowing statement 
 
SELECT nvl(COUNT(ref_appln_no),0) 
FROM ci_cust_dedupe_mast 
WHERE flg_mnt_status='A' 
 
This statement executes only once for 1*3,77000*10 times 
The function that i had sent previously executes more than 4000000*20 times . 
I think all it takes is only for iterations that are caused 
 
I am also sending sql trace for reference

Window doesn't close wheh Call Library Function Node set to Run in Any Thread

This is a problem regarding Call Library Function Nodes running in the UI thread or any thread.
I have a camera which has its own API supplied as a dll. I have created a set of VI wrappers which each call a function in the dll through a Call Library Function Node.
Initially each CLFN was set to 'Run in the UI thread' (the default).
To start the camera streaming images I call (through a CLFN)
ICubeSDK_Start(int CamIndex, Hwnd, ImgHandle, bool Preview, bool callback);
If Preview = True then the image is displayed in a preview window.
If ImgHandle = NULL a default preview window
is used.
In the CLFN definition I define:
ImgHandle as a U32
Preview as a I32
To stop the camera streaming images I call
ICubeSDK_Stop(int CamIndex)
In the actual implementation I set ImgHandle = 0 (NULL) and Preview = 1 (true).
This all works fine, and a preview window is opened and images displayed. When I call ICubeSDK_Stop the preview window is closed.
However, I would prefer to set the CLFN to 'Run in any thread' because
a) when run in the UI thread the preview window randomly gets sent to the back when I switch focus between open VI windows (presumably because it is in the same thread as the VIs)
b) I don't want to put unnecessary stuff in the UI thread
c) my (naive?) understanding is that it is safer to run in any thread
So I have set all CLFNs to 'Run in any thread'
When I do this the preview window opens OK, and behaves like any other non LabVIEW controlled window in terms of focus. But when I call ICubeSDK_Stop() the preview window does not get closed properly, it just shows a blank image. I can't close it manually, there is no X in the corner and no option to close it from the taskbar. To get rid of it I have to close the LabVIEW project it is spawned from, which often results in a crash. It does appear as a separate item in task manager but if I 'end process' it, LabVIEW closes (and often crashes) as well.
If I change only the CLFNs that call the Start and Stop functions back to 'Run in the UI thread' then it all works fine again, except that the preview window gets sent to the back randomly as before.
So, what do I have to do to get the preview window to close properly if I set the CLFN to 'Run in any thread'.
Alternatively, is there a way to close the window programmatically (ie force it to close) after I have called ICube_Stop.
Thanks
DAve

Hi Dave,
The "Run In UI Thread" switches from the thread the VIs currently executing in to the user interface thread. If you select "Run in Any Thread", the Call Library Function Node continues in the currently executing thread. By default, all Call Library Function Nodes run in the User Interface thread.
Before you configure the Call Library Function Node to run in any thread, you have to make sure that the code is thread safe. Code is thread safe when it does not store any global data (e.g. global variables, files on disks, etc.), does not access any hardware, does not make calls to any functions, libraries or drivers that are not thread safe.
Unfortunately, since you said that your DLL accesses hardware, it is not recommended to use "Run in Any Thread." This is probably why you are seeing the crash.
If your preview window gets sent to the back you can programmatically bring it forward. Here is an example of how this can be done: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4551
If you want to completely close the window down you can do so as described in this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/81E9C1441900FFCE8625748F0055DBB0?OpenDocument
I also thought you might find this useful: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3009
I hope this helps.

Error when call RFC Function module in R/3

Dear All,
We are trying to call RFC function module CBIF_GLM1_PROCESS_ORDER_READ (This is not a BAPI and also not released ) in R/3 from XI system.
we are facing the error "Error while lookup Exception during processing the payload.

I am talking about the above Receiver RFC channel which you guys are using to call R/3 from XI. That where you need to change the commit parameter

How to call a function module in VC

Hi,
I want to call a function module for an addition formula which shall calculate and infer the value.
eg. quantities of 5 different characteristics (of numeric data) is to be summed up and inferred against the 6th characteristic.
I want to know the detailed process to create a Variant Function and use it in a dependency.
Request to please advise the steps, type of dependency and its code.
Regards,
Rajesh Mohapatra

Dear Rajesh,
I also wanted to learn how to do that, your post motivated me to use a bit of freetime and investigate on the subject. I finally made my function work, so here are the tips.
The example is very simple, just a variant function with two inputs and which multiplies inside the input values and transfer that result to the output ( 3 x 4 => 12 ).
Deducting how to add five values or any other logic would be easier starting from there.
STEP 1: Create Variant Class for the product. I imagine you already have that. In my case its name is ZVC_CLASS, you have already a material assigned to the class, a configuration profile, etc....
STEP 2: Create Three Characteristics Z_NUM_CH_1,Z_NUM_CH_2,Z_NUM_CH_3 the three of numeric type
STEP 3: Assign characteristics from step 2 into class ZVC_CLASS
STEP 4: Create the function module with the code given below. I put the name ZVC_FUN_TEST
FUNCTION ZVC_FUN_TEST.

STEP 5: Activate the function module for Variant Configuration in transaction CU65, put there your function module, release int and in button characteristics write Z_NUM_CH_1,Z_NUM_CH_2,Z_NUM_CH_3. Flag the first two lines as they are inputs.
STEP 6: Create a Dependency ZVC_PROC_TEST of type Procedure to call the function with this code:
000010 Function ZVC_FUN_TEST
000020 (Z_NUM_CH_1 = $root.Z_NUM_CH_1,
000030 Z_NUM_CH_2 = $root.Z_NUM_CH_2,
000040 Z_NUM_CH_3 = $self.Z_NUM_CH_3)
STEP 7: Lets say I want to calculate the multiplication only upon the selection of another characteristic "Calculate" YES/NO. For this I create a characteristic in CT04 Z_CALCULATE type CHAR 1 with possible values Y or N. For the value Y y add the procedure ZVC_PROC_TEST so that formula only activates on Y.
STEP 8: Add characteristic Z_CALCULATE to class ZVC_CLASS
STEP 9: VA01, it should work

I want to convert duration which is in seconds to Duration in Hours and Minutes. There is a function module for doing it. Not sure how to do it in a formula.

One option you have is a Virtual Key Figure and User Exit to use the Function Module to convert the time from seconds to HH:MM. Here are two documents on this subject to help you create them, based on the technology your comfortable with:
