CR Svr 08 -XI3.0 -Refresh List of Values after BIAR import

Hello
I use Crystal Server 2008
When I import reports from BIAR file, the lists of values that the reports use are created, and can be viewed/edited through Business Views Manager, on the destination.
The data that the LOVs contain is the data from the source DB.
Is it possible to use SDK to populate the LOV with data from the destination DB after the import?
I mean force through a "Run now" type of operation, similar to the manual Scheduling operation on BVM.
Best regards
Patrick

Hi Ted
I thought as much. How then should I enable the LOV to update?
My LOV are not scheduled to update. In BVM, when I look at the LOV, it tells me that the LOV will execute on demand.
However, when i run a report using the LOV, the LOV is not populated. I thought that would be the On Demand phase

How to refresh list item values before report is run?

We have two SELECT LIST items (drop boxes) on our report. One SELECT LIST has values of "World Region" (e.g. NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA)
the other SELECT LIST has values of "Subregion" (e.g. NORTHERN EUROPE, SOUTHERN EUROPE, SOUTHEAST ASIA etc...)
The values in the Subregion list are dependent on the value that is chosen from the "World Region" List. Can someone tell up how to update the values in the Subregion list BEFORE we submit the page? We can get these values to update (via sql query) when the page is submitted but that is only happening after the report gets run- which is not what we want. We want the user to select a Region from one SELECT LIST and then see all the qualifying Subregions for that Region in the Subregion SELECT LIST. Only after both Region and Subregion have been selected do we want to run the report. Thank for any help on this.

hey john--
john) things like Scott's reference to "The name of the LOV Item". What does this really mean?
raj) in htmldb there's a concept of items at the page and at the app level. page level items have ui component associated with them. in scott's explanation above, he's talking about using a page-level item with a "Display as" type of "select list w/submit" for your first select list. in that case, he's suggesting you have one select list item drive the values of another. when the self-submitting select list submits the page, it sets an htmldb built-in variable called :REQUEST to the name of the self-submitting select list item. in your follow-up post's example, that'd be "REGION_LIST". scott was explaining how you could control the functionality on your page by adding conditions to things like...
:REQUEST = 'REGION_LIST'
...or using declarative Condition options like "Request = Expression 1" and then putting the string "REGION_LIST" in that Expression1 field. so in your case, you have a report region that you don't want displayed until the user's done selecting from your Subregion list. an easy way to handle that would be to add a hidden item (where "Display as" is set to "Hidden") to your page, for example :P1_LAST_REQUEST, to store the last value of :REQUEST. put a Computation on your page that populates :P1_LAST_REQUEST with :REQUEST each time the page is submitted. then put a Condition on your report region that makes it only render when :P1_LAST_REQUEST != 'REGION_LIST'. so this way your users can select a Region and have the page submit itself. the page will then redraw with the values of subregion list correctly populated (you'd presumably use :REGION_LIST in your subregion LOV query to achieve the filtered values) w/o your report region displayed. the user would then select a correct subregion and click some sort of "run my report" button. this time when the page redraws, :P1_LAST_REQUEST would be set so something other than "REGION_LIST" (it'd be set to whatever you named your "run my report button") and so your report region would display as desired.
hope this helps,
raj

SELECT LIST - with values after have values in other Select List

My friends.
I need a select list that is self - complemented, after being selected a value in another select list above.
Can you help?

Good afternoon,
Try this for the definition of your select list:
select emp.emp_name as display_column,
emp.emp_id as return_column
from employees emp
where emp.department = :P1_DEPT_NO
order by emp.emp_name;This will look at the select_list called :P1_DEPT_NO, capture the value that is currently selected and then populate the EMPLOYEE select list based on the results. Just use a query like this as the one that defines your second select list.
This seems to be a popular question. Search this forum for other information.

Select lists - remember values after submit not working in IE7

I have two dynamic select lists that are populated using .csv
files.
On submit, a set of results is returned based on the two
options that were chosen.
In IE7 when the results are returned the select lists default
back to the last option in the select list. I would like it to
default to what ever option was just chosen.
I'm using the code below and it works as I would like it to
in both Firefox and Safari, but just defaults to the last option in
the list for IE7.
The variable "actualLitType" is pulled from the URL and
should be part of the id of the selected option.
Any ideas why it doesn't work like I would like it to in IE7?
Thanks in advance,
Jesse

Extracting a distinct list of values using the Index formula

In Xcelsius, I am trying to retrieve a distinct list of values from data imported using the Reporting Services button.
In the spreadsheet I am using the following formula:
=INDEX($A2:$A831,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($B$2:B2,$A2:$A831),0))
The above formula works correctly in Xcelsius, but when I select the preview button the values change to #N/A.
Please could you advise on why this does not work?
Many thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie,
First, you have to be aware of the fact that Xcelsius "simulates" an Excel function. When you are in design mode, the actual "Excel" (MS code) functions are executed. But when you are in preview mode (or export to a swf), all Excel functions are simulated (Xcelsius code).
The fact that your function works in design mode but not in preview/export may point to a bug.
But there are also certain assumptions (to address speed/efficiency) on the Xcelsius code which may cause the preview to fail. One such assumption is that on the VLOOKUP function, Xcelsius does not recalculate formulas in the index column of the VLOOKUP table array - if the index column contains formulas, the index column will always remain in the initial state (will not dynamically recalculate).
Also, not all features on a supported Excel function works. For example, array formulas are not supported.

Refresh popup list of values javascript

I try to change value of popup list of values with javascript.
When i set it with javascript i get only return value visible in popup list of values (display). When i add refresh in dynamic action item is clean..and dont have any value..
How to set display and return value correctly...
Thanks...
Edited by: Nihad Haskovic on Jul 18, 2012 3:18 AM

I am not sure if I understand your question, but if you want to show two display value columns you can use a concatenation, for example:
select raum||' - '||some_other_column display_value, raum return_value from standort order by 1
You can also build a custom popup LOV picker. If you wanted to have popup list of values that selected a number of columns and contained custom report filters you could do so by:
1. create a report page which queries the table you wish pick from
2. change the page template to be a popup lov style template
3. in the "Post Element Text" attribute put a link to the new popup page using javascript similar to: javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.')
( you may wish to wrap it around an image such as this one )
<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#htmldb/icons/view_small.gif" />
4. make one of the columns in your report a link to javascript to passback the value and close the popup window. A good example of this javascript can be viewed by viewing the HTML page source of the popup page finder which is linked from the APEX page definition page.

If you run the report from a Web browser and the list of values is unrestricted, the HTML Parameter Form will display a text field instead of a combo box, and a list of static values that you can copy and paste into the text field.

List of values not properly working in the selection screen.

Dear Mates,
In BEx query all the selection parameters are working and showing all the list of values. Created the same report in crystal from BEx query, for one particular selection it is not showing the list of values or drop down. Just showing "DISCRETE VALUES"
Please throw some light on this.
Good day,
Regards
Arun S

Hi Arun,
I think you have more than one dynamic parameter created in your report. There is a limitation on dynamic parameter list of values. You will have to edit the registery to get all values in dynamic parameters list.
Find below is a knowledgebase article ;
Symptom
For performance reasons, in Crystal Reports XI Release 1 and Release 2 the maximum number of values that are returned for a list of values is set to 1000. If you have a cascading List of Values (for example Country > Region > City), the lowest level (in this case City) will only display a maximum of 1000 values. This means that the higher-level prompts may display far fewer values than you expect. The list of values provides the data for the dynamic parameter list.
How can you modify the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list?
Resolution
To increase the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list, you must add a registry key.
CAUTION
The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys and Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
Crystal Reports XI Release 1
Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE
Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter. NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
NOTE
The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE
Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter.
NOTE
The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
Thanks,

Validation error message is not displayed for an attribute as an Input List Of Value

Hi everyone,
I use jdev 11.1.1.7.0
In my application I've created an Entity Obj and a View Obj base Employees table.
for the JobId attribute I've taken actions as listed below:
1. in Employees EO I've created a validation for this attribute and in some cases an error message returns (the error message is "the salary is not high"):
     * Validation method for JobId.
    public boolean validateJobId(String jobid) {
        if (...) {
            return false;
        if (...) {
            return false;
        if (...) {
            return false;
        return true;
2. in Employees VO I've created a LOV for this attribute (the view accessor is JobsViewObj ) and I display the attribute as an Input Text with List Of Values.
in jspx page I drag& drop this attribute as below:
          <af:inputListOfValues id="jobIdId"
                                popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.JobId.hints.label}"
                                value="#{bindings.JobId.inputValue}"
                                label="#{bindings.JobId.hints.label}"
                                model="#{bindings.JobId.listOfValuesModel}"
                                required="#{bindings.JobId.hints.mandatory}"
                                columns="#{bindings.JobId.hints.displayWidth}"
                                shortDesc="#{bindings.JobId.hints.tooltip}"
                                autoSubmit="true">
            <f:validator binding="#{bindings.JobId.validator}"/>
          </af:inputListOfValues>
I open the Popup and I select a row from the Popup list and then I click Ok. After that if the validation method(validateJobId) returns false, the error message("the salary is not high") must be show to the user. but the error message doesn't display. I don't understand why this happens.
Can anybody guide me about this problem?
Regards
Habib

yes, you're right, I've tested it in 12.1.3 and error message was displayed.
it seems it's a bug(bad bug ) in both 11.1.1.7 and 12.1.2. and now what can I do? is there any way to display the the error message?

Prompt List of Values in WebI - SAP BI Variable - SAP BI Query -BI Infoset

Hi,
We have a Multiprovider built on an Infoset. SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
Multiple-Single Values type Optional Variables are created for some of the Objects of this SAP BI Query.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration kit.
WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompts are created on some of the Universe Objects, for the WebI report.
We are facing a typical problem.
When a WebI prompt is created on one particular object, (which also has a Multiple Single Value type Optional Variable in SAP BI Query), its List of Values is showing up only first three values in WebI. The SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values, for the same object.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in the List of Values & this is the problem.
We tried to keep the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset, Multiprovider = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
Similar objects and similar variables for the same query / webi show all the List of Values.
Any guidance on aspects to be checked would be helpful.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

Problem :
If an SAP BI Infoset is used in data modelling, and a restricted key
figure is created in the SAP BI Query; the resultant WebI Object Prompt
for the Info-object, only shows up LOVs which have been used for the
restricted Key Figure. Both the things are not related except for the
fact that some of the values for the same object are used for the
restricted key figure.
Details :
We have a Multiprovider built on an SAP BI Infoset.
SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
There is a restricted key figure in the sap bi query. KeyFigure "Number
of Records" is restricted for 3 of the relevant Info-object "Meter
Reading Status" values.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration
kit. WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompt is created on the Universe Object for Meter Reading Status, in
the WebI report.
List of Values is showing up only the three values in WebI (which were
used in the Restricted Key Figure calculation).
SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer for the same Info-object Meter Reading
Status shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in
the List of Values & this is the problem.
We have kept the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset,
Multiprovider, Query = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
When we delete the "Restricted Key Figure" from the SAP BI Query, the
refreshed Universe and Webi have a complete set of List of Values
applicable.
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Create Infoset
2. Create SAP BI Query on Infoset
3. Create Restricted Key Figure for Number of Records and few of the
values for a characteristic info-object "X".
4. Create BO Universe on SAP BI Query
5. Create Webi on BO Universe
6. Create a Prompt on the characteristic info-object "X".
7. Check List of Values for the characteristic info-object "X" in SAP
BI Query and WebI.
8. LOVs in WebI are equal to the values used for restriction in the
restricted key figure.
9. Delete the restricted key figure from SAP BI Query.
10. Refresh Universe
11. Webi prompt shows all the values for the prompt on "X".

How to get data from list of values (LOV) to be displayed in a text field ?

Hi guys,
I am very new to Oracle APEX so please spare me if it is a silly question. How can I get the selected values from a set of list of values (LOV) displayed in a text field (or text area or so) ? Fox example, in my form I create 4 items: STATE, COUNTY, STREET, ZIPCODE and all of them are LOV (list of values). I also create 2 buttons (ADD & REMOVE). Then I create a test field (or text area name SELECTED RECORD). Now here is what I want to do with my form:
When I set the values for all 4 fields, I will click on the ADD button then I want those values be displayed in the text field.
For example, if the selected values are:
STATE = Alabama
COUNTY = Abbeville
STREET= 1 Street
ZIPCODE = 36310
And the ADD button is pressed. Then in the text field I want it displays like this:
Alabama,Abbeville,1 Street,36310
If I choose other values and click ADD again, a new line will be added into the text fields (text area). If I click the REMOVE button, then it will clear those two line in the text field.
Would it be possible to do it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you can live with the page being submitted and refreshed, make your ADD button do a submit with a request value of ADD and make your REMOVE button do a submit with a request value of REMOVE.
Then create two computations (one firing with a condition of Request = ADD and the other firing with a condition of Request = REMOVE).
In the ADD one, concatenate the values together into the text area (most likely a PL/SQL computation wiill be what you want). In the REMOVE one, set it to null with a PL/SQL computation.
If you want it done without submitting the page, make the buttons each do a redirect to a URL but instead you will have to write two short javascript functions in the page HTML header to manipulate the field values. Each button would call each javascript function in an onclick event.

Filter view object by selected values from list of values

Hello,
I've the following problem with my ADF Application. I have three view objects in my application module. Two of them are connected via a view link. For example take users, who are connected to their departments. The remaining view object consists of factories. Now I want to show the user/department dependency in a tree table and the available factories in a list of values. This list of values should be used to filter the shown users.
I've already tried to use bind variables in the users view object. But I don't know how to fill them with the value of the list of values.
Can someboy give me a tip how to solve this problem.
Best regards,
Enno

Hi Enno,
Try this:
- Have a AM method with one parameter(which takes user from the list of values) and inside AM method write code to set the bind parameter value and execute the query
Sample Code
public void filterByUser(String user){
   //Get your UserViewObject instance to userVO
   userVO.setNamedWhereClauseParam("<Bind_Variable_Name>", user);
   userVO.executeQuery();
}- Expose the method as client interface
- Drop the method (Data Control) as a button on to the page and pass the listofvalues value as a value to the method binding param
Something like this: ${bindings.<User>.inputValue}
- Finally refresh the master and detail tables based on the ListOfValues selection by setting partialTriggers property to the listofvalues component id
Hope it is clear

How create temporary table from list of values

Can you anybody advise me how can I create temporary table from list of values? I have list of values and need create temporary table for next use with command JOIN etc.
Thank you for help

NO, you can not create temporary table in oracle on the fly ( Like #Tabels in SQl Server or Sybase ) , you will have to use the GTT i.e Global Temporary Tables
check the following link GTT :
to flush the tables after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;In contrast, the ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS clause indicates that rows should be preserved until the end of the session.
so to keep rows in Table after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
