Change indicator and readRowXML( )

I'm trying to enforce concurrency checking in a web application for an update that is done using readRowXML().
I am trying to base this check on a ModDate field. (I am currently setting the field manually, but it will eventually be set by a database trigger any time a record is modified). I have set the ModDate attribute as the change indicator in the entity object. The element I am passing into readRowXML() has a ModDate child with a value that is different that than ModDate that exists in the database for that record.
I am expecting a RowInconsistException to be thrown, but instead the update succeeds and the ModDate is changed to whatever I pass in.
Any thoughts?

If I understand correctly, this will only work within the context of a single transaction? The way my architecture is designed, the data is read in one transaction and passed to a web page for presentation. The ModDate for the record is passed as a hidden field.Yes, ChangeIndicator feature assumes the data being modified was fetched in the same transaction.
When the page is saved, the ModDate is returned and a new instance of the app module is created to do an update. I want to compare the ModDate passed back in the HTTP post to the value that is currently stored in the database to make sure the database record hasn't been updated by someone else.
Would it be accurate to say that the only way I can accomplish this using the 'Changed Indicator' is by using a stateful session bean to hold onto the original app module and therefore a cached version of the original data? Assuming that modDate value is "not-updated" via UIs/any other means, you can put logic in setModDate method to verify if the modDate value in the entity is different from what's coming in and if it is, then throw RowInconsistentException.
readXML() does call setAttribute on the Entity, which will end up in the setModDate method to run thru' the above logic.

Regarding "Change Indicator + History Column + Refresh After Update"

Hi,
In our app, we are not using any separate column for change indicator and using LastUpdateDate as both Change Indicator and History Column(Modified On) as well.
The problem is that when 'Refresh After Update' option is not selected for this column, then RowInconsistentException is throw on commit for multi user scenario, and when 'Refresh After Update' option is selected for this column, then exception is not thrown but value is also not updated. Here is the summary of observations:
Settings for LastUpdateDate Column:
Only Setting History Column (Modified on)
Single User - Value Updated , no exception is thrown.
Multi User - throws (oracle.jbo.RowInconsistentException) JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key[3 ]. for second user.
History Column ( Modified on ) & Change Indicator property checked.
Single User - Value Updated , no exception
Multi User - throws (oracle.jbo.RowInconsistentException) JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key[3 ]. for second user.
History Column ( Modified on ) & Change Indicator property checked & Refresh After Update option enabled.
Single User - Value not updated, no exception thrown
Multi User - Value not updated, no exception thrown
What I want is that in multi user scenario, the value of LastUpdateColumn should be updated and no exception should also be thrown.
Is this a bug in ADF Techstack or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Lalit.

First and Second scenario are as expected.
1) Only Setting History Column (Modified on)-> Last updated value will be updated when a user changes anything in that entity. But if another user tries to update the entity on top of a stale state then lost update detection is performed by ADF by comparing every attribute of entity against current values in database. So it will give error.
2) History Column ( Modified on ) & Change Indicator property checked.
Same thing will happen as in case of first scenario but this time detection of lost update will be more efficient as framework will check only that column for "lost update" detection for which change indicator is selected.
But for the third one where you have selected the history column LastUpdatedDate as a change indicator with "Refresh On Update" selected, the behaviour is strange. I do not know why the last updated date is not updated after a commit. It does not throw any error also which it actually should. It is not detecting lost updates in this scenario. Probably because the only change indicator LastUpdatedDate is not changed.

How to modify Find and Change indicator?

I use Find and Change in Applewors 6. At present, this operation finds what is specified but the indicator is colored green and is open, and hard to locate on a page when looking for a single letter. I changed it from its original pale orange to what it is now but now I would like to change it back to something easier to find. But I forgot how I did it and did not make a note. Would appreciate info on how to change this indicator. Thanks

Neil--
Thanks for info. I found it under System preferences>Personal>Appearance. You get a lot of choices in color and intensity. I was hoping to change the Find and Change indicator to solid but maybe this is not possible.

Primary key and change indicator

So I was creating an employee and then I committed the records and then I tried to delete a record from the same table. I encountered an error like below:
"Another user has changed the row with primary key"
So I searched the solution of this problem, and then I read this article https://blogs.oracle.com/onesizedoesntfitall/entry/the_case_of_the_phantom
This is the solution according to the above article:
Alternatively you can set the Change Indicator on one of the attributes. This will work as long as the relating column for the attribute in the database itself isn't inadvertently updated. In turn you're possibly just masking the issue rather than solving it, because if another developer turns the Change Indicator back on the original issue will return.*
Well, then set the Change Indicator of the EmployeeID attribute (which happens to be the primary key of the table). Now its working fine.
But my question is: Is this okay if I am setting the Change Indicator of a primary key attribute to be True?

Sonull wrote:
I have set the Type property of employeeID as DBSequence. So when the system creates a row, the values displayed for the employee ID is in the form of negative numbers (-1, -2, -3). Only after committing the rows does the trigger gets fired, and the next number in the sequence is generated, and the row is saved in the database.
>
I don't understand you? are you asking a question or provide information?
When set the type of an attribute to DBSequence, by default Jdeveloper sets the Refresh on Insert property.
What I want to say is that the problem is not in the EmployeeId attribute.

In most web sites many web sites, the menue buttons do not appear i have to scroll over the screen untill the cursor changes indicating a button is actually there, and guess which one it is. I am using windows 7 , 64 bit

How to set default value for Price Change Indicator in Purchase order

Hi,
While creating the service purchase order with item category "D" the price change indicator in the services tab of the purchase order is getting checked by default. I want to uncheck this by default.Where can we set the default property for this.
Thanks in Advance!
Surya

My plsql parameter is p_arr which is of "TYPE vc2_255_arr IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER"You need to declare it in a package specification and initialize in the package body:
SQL> create or replace package pmp_lib
as
   type vc2_255_arr is table of varchar2 (255)
                          index by binary_integer;
   vc2_255_arr_default   vc2_255_arr;
end pmp_lib;
Package created.
SQL> create or replace package body pmp_lib
as
begin
   vc2_255_arr_default (1) := 'abc';
   vc2_255_arr_default (2) := 'def';
end pmp_lib;
Package body created.
SQL> declare
   arr   pmp_lib.vc2_255_arr := pmp_lib.vc2_255_arr_default;
begin
   for i in 1 .. arr.count
   loop
      dbms_output.put_line (arr (i));
   end loop;
end;
abc
def
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.so in your case it would probably be sth like (assuming pmp_lib is a package):
<%@ plsql parameter="p_arr" type="PMP_LIB.VC2_255_ARR" default = "PMP_LIB.vc2_255_arr_default" %>

Price Change indicator in Service Purchase order

Dear Friends
I am making one service purchase order, at service item level one price change indicator appears if its selected then at the time of service entry sheet it is possible to change value
But in my case,this indicator is not appearing at the time of raising PO, can anybody guide me at what screen level we can make field settings according to this.

I think it is invesible for you
go to Item detail scree in the PO
here you will see the Color squar at the corner of service tab
here click on that Icon
it will open the tablesetting pop up
here click on administrator adn uncheck the ESLL-PRS_CHG field
Than click on activate and save
now you will see this field.

Change indicator via trigger (Date/Timestamp)

I have set up triggers on all my tables to update the 'TIME_STAMP' field whenever a change is made to the row. It works flawlessly in sql*plus as well as in TOAD. However,if I insert a record using a ADF client I can view the record and the trigger provided value using sql*plus. If I update it using the ADF client the data becomes corrupted. I get a "ORA-01877: string is too long for internal buffer" when trying to view it with sql*plus or TOAD and if I dump() the column I get "Typ=180 Len=11: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" (note: this is a dump when I had reset the datatype in my table and entity to a DATE).

Hi all,
I am a dope. I was having so may problems with the TIMESTAMP datatype in ADF and in TOAD I decided to just go with a DATE datatype for a change indicator. I did all the changes in the build scripts and model but forgot to run the build script so the errors I was getting were based on the old datatype.
BTW, Steve Muench had published a workaround to the issue in October that I found after I did all my changes. (http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2004/10/07.html#a394)

BADI to uncheck Invoice indicator and set net price as 0 while creating PO

Hi all,
Is there any BADI to uncheck the Invoice indicator and set the net price as "0" while creating Purchase order?
Im creating Purchase order in SRM and for certain vendor and material group net price should be set to zero and invoice receipt to be unchecked so that user wont get invoice receipt.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks,
Amal

Pradeep,
Thanks for your response.
I will tell you the actual senario im having.
Using Shoppin Cart, user will order for some items in SRM and once it was completed PO will be created in R/3 system. Here(R/3) when i check in ME23 for the created PO, the IR flag has been set. But i want the PO should be created as IR flag not checked and amount is changed to ZERO for certain vendor and material group combination.
I searched some threads and found few function modules ( BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAILS, BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE, BBP_PD_PO_SAVE) which can be used in BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. But im not aware of the fields in which we can found vendor, material group, amount, IR indicator.
Can you please guide me how to resolve this?
This is my first task in SRM and im not aware of all terms in SRM.
SRM version: 4.0
R/3 version: ECC 5.0
Thanks,
Amal

Changing indicator posting for G/L account.

Hi,
I need to change the indicator posting for two depreciation areas that I need they don't post anymore:
-one from indicator 2 to 0
-one from indicator 1(inflation area) to 0.
Anybody has already done that?
Do you know if I can have any problem?
Thanks,
Cecilia

Hi Cecilia
Yes, you can change it and no problem if your business requires it. In IMG: Asset Accounting -> Integration with the General Ledger -> Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger, you specify the depreciation areas that post their APC transactions and/or depreciation to the general ledger. Based on your business requirement, you can change the GL posting indicator to 0, that means there is no APC transactions and/or depreciation being posted to GL anymore for those depreciation areas thereafter.

My client requires the Link between ABC Indicator and Priority. i.e., While creation of notification, based on the ABC indicator assigned in the Equipment, Priority should be selected.
Is it possible, if possible please help me out to resolve this issue.
With Best Regards,
Dev

Hello,
Yes you can acheive this by Development use the Below User Exit or Fubctional Module to get it done
User Exit-->QQMA0014 QM/PM/SM: Checks before saving a notification
BADI-->NOTIF_EVENT_SAVE Change When Saving Notification
When Notification create against the Equipment which Having ABC Indicator it will stop Notification while Saving the Notification By checking The ABC Indicator on Equipment and Proposes Priority which You already defined in Configuration with Proposed New Dates for Notification Completion Dates.Notification save allowed once you fill Exact value of Priority.

Change indicator in LR5.2 disappeared

I have recently noticed that the +/- change indicator, which previously appeared on my thumbnails in the Develop module are no longer appearing. Can someone point me to a setting which will turn these back on? I depend on them and am struggling without their appearance.

Either you've turned off the display of the Badges, or the Filmstrip is too small.
To check if you have Badges turned off, check the Preferences>Interface Tab>Filmstrip section, ensure that "Show badges" is checked.
If it's not that, increase the size of the Filmstrip by dragging the resize line upwards (hover oever the breadcrumbs bar immeadiately above the filmstrip until the mouse cursor turns to the double-headed arrow, then click-hold and drag).
