Creating Dynamic Form based on table

I have to create 7-8 Form on a Table with Report.
Just wondering if there is a way, we can create this dynamically, so that I don't have to create this manually for each table.
Exp - I will have a table list, once I will select table_name from the LOV, then this will display the Report/Form region for that table...and so on...
thanks,
deepak

Hi Deepak,
So, basically, you want to be able to create an application without actually having to create it manually?
The nearest you could get, I think, is something like: Re: Creating Item dynamically and Automating tedious repetitive tasks / creating hundreds of different items (there may be other threads along these lines as well).
The principle is that you do pretty much what an Application Export/Import would do. I have to stress, though, that this is totally unsupported by Oracle and also most forum users, myself included, would not be able to help you!

How to create a form based on table using dynamic page?

Hi,
I need to create a form using dynamic page. How do you pass values from the html form to a oracle procedure that will get executed on submission of the form ? I could not find any documents which shows how to do that. Can anyone please help me out with an example ?
thanks,
Mainak

Hi,
Something seems to get added to the form action because of "http". Hence I am removing it.
You need to write a procedure with the values in the as parameters. Say for example you want to insert a record into dept
table then
Dynamic page code
<html>
<body>
<form action="portalschema.insert_dept">
<input type="text" name="p_deptno">
<input type="text" name="p_dname">
<input type="submit" name="p_action" value="save">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Procedure code.
create or replace procedure insert_dept
(p_deptno in number,
p_dname in varchar2,
p_action in varchar2)
is begin
if p_action = 'save' then
insert into scott.dept(deptno,dname) values(p_deptno,p_dname);
commit;
end if;
end;
grant execute on insert_dept to public;
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to create a form based on table@databaselink

I have created a database link under OracleXe to access an Oracle 9i and it works very well. I can manually access the tables that I like to see. Want to experiment to create a form under HTMLDB based on a table from another database that I have created DataLink to. When I go choose Create Application in HMTLDB and then select Form from page type under table or view I tried to do this tablename@databaselink but it seems it can not find the table this way. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks

Mike,
As I am trying to test and learn more about htmldb I was trying to get some data from oracle 9i to oracleXe, create some forms, reports and etc. At first I tried to use views and forgot to add the primary key, got the error so I posted the message on the board.
Then I did try out the long way creating tables with package and procedure and some other fun stuff to create an application which by the way it worked very well. Then I created some users and changed some password. When I tried again to run the application I start getting invalid login credentials. After many attempts finally I went home, as I was driving home I thought about something and at home I tried it.
I did some testing and noticed if I create a user under admin say userA+passwordA then login with userA+passwordA, create a table and then create an app base on that table and then run the app, with userA+passwordA I can login and app works perfectly. Then I logged out and as admin logged in, changed the userA password to passwordB. I logged out and logged in with userA+passwordB and then when I tried to run the app I get the invalid login credentials, when I change the passwordB to passwordA the app will works again. This is suppose to be this way!
Again thanks to all

How to Create Dynamic form using table data

Dear All,
I have one Table called PRODUCT_MASTER where product details are stored. Say product A,B,C,D are stored in the table. Another table called SUB_PRODUCT_MASTER, which contains sub product details.Say A1,A1,B1,B2, B3,C1, C2, C3, D1,D2,D3.
Now, I want to create a dynamic form based on product,sub product. for a whole month. For better under standing here is the format.
PRODUCT A B C D
SUB_PROD A1 A2 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3 D1 D2 D3
Days
1 x x x x x x x x
2
3
4
5
6
7
Now whenever I add one row in the PRODUCT)MASTER table and SUB_PRODUCT_MASTER table, Form should add one column in the form automatically. e.g. If I add Product E with two Sub product E1 and E2 then form should add ptoduct E column in the form with sub products E1 and E2 as per above format. Here days are fixed to 31. This forms should accept product wise daily despatch entry. For
storing despatch entry another table is created.
Please help to create this type od forms.

I need to create a FORM based on a table having no Primary Key but it is having Unique Key . I can use Unique Key as an alternate of Primary Key.
but When I tried to create a Form, I got the following message.

Thanks,
DeepakGood database design will always require a PK on the tables. There are only very few and rare expetions to this rule. One would be when you have store the data only temporarily in this table, like it is often done for import/loader tables. The data is first loaded in the "import"-table, then validated and then transported to the "real" tables. In such a scenario you can ignore the primary key on purpose. Because you already have a UK on this table it can't be such a scenario.
For most other scenarios you should always add a PK. Ask critically why there is no PK on it. Is there a reason for it or was the table designer just not doing its job well?
Btw: A UK is identical to a PK if the column is mandatory (NOT NULL). In this case you could simply change the constraint from UK to PK.

Creating form based on table with non-sequence pk.

How to you create a form based on a varchar2 column and not a sequenced assigned pk. So the pk would be entered at the time a new
row is added. It would be entered just like the other fields from the form and not a sequence.
How do you do this as when using the wizard it prompts you to select one of 3 ways to define the pk.
Sequence, trigger or pl/sql code.
If the answer is pl/sql code, what do I need to create in the code?

If the primary key is created by the user themselves (which is not recommended, you should have another ID which the user sees which would be the varchar2 and keep the primary key as is, the user really shouldn't ever edit the primary key) then all you need to do is make sure that the table is not populated with a primary key in the wizard and then make sure that you cannot insert a null into your varchar primary key text field.
IF you're doing it this way I would make a validation on the page which would run off a SQL Exists validation, something along the lines of
SELECT <primary key column>
FROM <your table>
WHERE upper(<primary key column>) = upper(<text field containing user input>);
and if it already exists, fire the validation claiming that it already exists and to come up with a new primary key.
Like I said if you really should have a primary key which the database refers to each individual record itself and then have an almost pseudo-primary key that the user can use. For example in the table it would look like this:
TABLE1
table_id (this is the primary key which you should NOT change)
user_table_id (this is the pretend primary key which the user can change)
other_columns
etc
etc
hope this helps in some way

APEX How do I create a Form based on a Database Table from other schema

My APEX schema is WISEXP. I have a database table that resides in WISDW schema on the same database. I want to create Tabular form based on this table.
I am not able to create a FORM based on the table from WISDW schema. I am able to create a FORM based on SQL though from this table in WISDW schema - but it does not do any action on Update/Insert rows.
Appropriate Synonyms and grants are created. Is there a limitation or am I missing something? Please advise.
thanks
Rupen

If Rupen is using 2.2 or 2.2.1, it is likely he is running into the bug described here: Re: Workspace to Schema Assignments
In that case, it may be a necessary and sufficient workaround to assign the foreign schema to the workspace.

Hi Michelle,
          First of all Special thanks for your informative answers to my other forum questions. I really appreciate your help.
Coming back to this question I am still waiting for an answer. Please help. Note that my structure is not in a dictionary.
I am trying to create a new node. That is
CONTEXT
- DYNFLIGHT
CARRID
CONNID
As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition
I have updated my code like the following and I am getting error:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_type,
CARRID TYPE sflight-carrid,
CONNID TYPE sflight-connid,
END OF t_type.
Data: i_struc type table of t_type,
dyn_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
rootnode_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
i_node_att type wdr_context_attr_info_map,
wa_node_att type line of wdr_context_attr_info_map.
wa_node_att-name = 'CARRID'.
wa_node_att-TYPE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT-CARRID'.
insert wa_node_att into table i_node_att.
wa_node_att-name = 'CONNID'.
wa_node_att-TYPE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT-CONNID'.
insert wa_node_att into table i_node_att.
clear i_struc. refresh i_struc.
select carrid connid into corresponding fields of table i_struc from sflight where carrid = 'AA'.
rootnode_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
rootnode_info->add_new_child_node( name = 'DYNFLIGHT'
attributes = i_node_att
is_multiple = abap_true ).
dyn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'DYNFLIGHT' ).
dyn_node->bind_table( i_struc ).
l_ref_interfacecontroller->set_data( dyn_node ).
But now I am getting the following error :

How to create dynamic tree based on BAPI

Hi
I am able to create dynamic tree based on flat file structure example given in SDN . But how to create the tree from BAPI directly.Also when I will be clicking on any leaf node of the tree some data related to the node will be passed to another view.
Regards
Ananda

What i'm trying to do is create an organizational structure.
Global>Region>Plant-->Corporation
The output from the RFC is a structure containing every possible combination for orgazational hierarchy. Basically a flat table with record for every possible combinaton of Region-Plant-Corporation. This data needs to be bound to a tree structure so that we can call BW queries based on that level. For example: Give me aged inventory for the SAP corporation within the plant Berlin that is located in the Europe region.
Now that you understand the business reason will the nodes that represent Region and Plant and corporation be non-singleton nodes or recursive? I was thinking a hierarchy of non-singleton nodes.
I can bind these nodes to the Region - Plant - Corporation elements returned from in the flat table structure. I will probably get duplicates as a specific Region will be listed multiple times for every possible combination of the data beneath it. I'm not so concerned about that right now as I want to make sure I understand how in Web Dynpro to bind the data to the tree.
Hopefully this makes some sense. Can you elaborate on how this may be constructed in context of the view?
Would i create a model node for region (0..n), model node for plant (0..n), and a model node for Corporation (0..n)?
Or does this sound totally incorrect?
julian
We have 3 regions over 50 plants and probably around 500 corporations.

Create Dynamic Structure based on Field-Symbol

Hi Experts!!
I need to create a structure with dynamic structure included within.
I have a parameter on sel. screen in which we provide table name.
PARAMETERS: p_table TYPE tabname.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_data> TYPE ANY TABLE.
CREATE DATA gr_data TYPE TABLE OF (p_table).
ASSIGN gr_data-* TO <gt_data>.
Now I need a structure like below:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type_test,
struct TYPE <gt_data>, " dynamic structure based on table name entered on sel. screen
fld1 TYPE c,
fld2 TYPE n,
END OF type_test.
Can somebody suggest how to achieve this?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot

You can view this thread where our friend Marcin rocks .. Dynamically create a type
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_data> TYPE ANY TABLE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gs_wa> TYPE ANY.
data:wf_ref type ref to data.
DATA:i_comp TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table,
i_tot_comp TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table.
CREATE DATA gr_data TYPE TABLE OF (p_table).
ASSIGN gr_data-* TO <gt_data>.
create data wf_ref like line of <gt_data>.
assign wf_ref->* to <gs_wa>.
*--Getting Compoents from existing type
lf_struct ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( '<GS_WA>' ).
i_comp = lf_struct->get_components( ).
APPEND LINES OF i_comp TO i_tot_comp.
The idea is Get all the field details available it to i_tot_comp, then append individual fields manually to
i_tot_comp as explained in the link and create a dynamic structure and table.

Create dynamic forms

Hello,
Hello I have an application based on JSF. We have a requirement to create forms dynamically, I mean end user should be able to add new controls to the form, without recompiling the application. Do u know some frameworks that do this ? For instance , I edit and xml file , and the application creates the form based on that. ? I was reviewing ORBEON framework, and I like the idea that with editing and xhtml file , I can make changed to the form and form submits XML information , but it seems to me complex or a long learning curve , besides it is a completely diferrent technology than JSF........do u know any similar idea like ORBEON , but implemented in JSF ? or how to integrate Orbeon and JSF ? . I want to keep the business logic in java code, and presentation in XFORMS
Thanks,

CREATING A FORM UTILIZING MULTIPLE TABLES

I'd like to know if it's feasable to create a form using multiple tables and if so, how?
Thanx

sgtmaj,
It's feasible. You'll have to create the form manually. This part of the documentation describes how that's done.

I was able to create a Report, but not a Form.
I need to create a Form, which would return updated string to the page item.
How can I solve this please?

END LOOP;
--Database processing using the concatenated string here
END;Also, both forms are opening in a modal pop-up dialog window.
I use a Dialog Region plug-in for that.
May be this is causing a problem?
But still, the first form works fine!?

Dynamic forms from 2 tables

Hi, (Sorry for the long post)
DB Table one contains 4 fields:
EventName
Venue
Price
Date
Form one is used by the owner to enter the data for an event into the DB Table One - there are several different events.
DB Table two contains 7 fields (4 of the fields to retrieve data from table one)
Name
contact
email
Event Name
Venue
Price
Date
Form two is for a person registering for one of the events entered into DB table one.
I set up a recordset called rsListEvents and then used the "Insert Record Form Wizard" to create form two with the following fields:
EventName
Venue
Price
eDate
which I set to defaults
{rsListEvents.EventName}
{rsListEvents.Venue}
{rsListEvents.Price}
{rsListEvents.eDate}
I have a page listing the events and when register for this event is clicked I was hoping the data from table one would be entered into form two and the user then fills in the rest manually where all the data is entered into DB table two.
Unfortunately even though the URL indicates that the correct information from table one should be entered into form two .php?id_event=2
The data from DB table one row id_event=1 is always displayed no matter what the record number is.
Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong
Thanks
laurence

I am simplyfing this so I can get help on a basic level ( Mr basic)
Why does this not work?
I set up a Dynamic List using DB Table 1 and set the detailed page.
I set up a record set on the detailed page using the same table.
SELECT *
FROM addEvents
When I test I get the results from ID 1 no matter which one I choose. But when I test the RS I get both dummy entries 1 and 2
So I am missing something that needs to be appended to the URL.
