Creating multiple records in a block while sitting in another block

Hey friends....I've 2 blocks in my form. Block-A contains producats A,B etc and Block-B contains colors like Black, Blue etc. I wish that when user selects 2 or more colors in Block-B and presses a button in that block, then each color should be assigned to each of the product with a (No.of colors x No. of Products) recods e.g if user entered 2 products A & B in two rows of Block-A and 2 colors Black & White in Block-B, then Product A should have 2 records with each color i.e Black and White. In the same way Product B should have 2 records i.e Product B with 1 record with color Black and 2nd record with color White.
Is there any body to accomplish this job?

Product table is not a Master/Detail because Product itself is not dependant on color at the time of creationMaster-detail means that you can create a master (Product) without any details (colors).
2 records for Paint with color Black and Red. And 2 records for Shirt with color Black and Red. So total 4 records will be created with a minimum entry from userDoing it that way will cause data-redundancy and possible inconsistences. I would go with a detail-table for Color-Assignments to products.
I created one detail block of products and anothers detail block of colors with check-boxesOk so far. Lets assume you go with the "Detail"-table for color-assignments to products, then you would:
- Base the Color-block on the color-table.
- Create an additional checkbox as non-dasetable-item.
- Create a POST-QUERY-trigger which check the PRODUCT_COLOR-table, if a record exists for the combination of color and product and sets the checkbox to checked or unchecked.
- Create a ON-UPDATE-trigger on that block, which does an INSERT into PRODUCT_COLOR if the checkbox is checked or an DELETE from PRODUCT_COLOR if the checkbox is unchecked.
hope this helps

Can we create multiple records before navigation to that block

Can we create multiple records and assign values in Forms, before navigation to that block (in a trigger ), and populate ?

Hello,
No you cannot. You need to be inside the block in order to use the Create_Record built-in.

Creating multiple records from 1 record in the source file for Import DM

Hi Experts,
Today I am working on an interface/import where I want to get the following result:
Source file contains a records like:
Account, Entity, DriverX
Sales,EntityA,ZZ
The BPC appset contains the 2 dimensions Account and Entity next to CostCenter dimension. The DriverX field in the source file is just additional information in the source file. However based on this DriverX we need to determine what CostCenter to choose but we also need to have the same record assigned to a second record in BPC.
Following my example, based on DriverX value I need to create 2 records:
Account, Entity, CostCenter,
Sales,EntityA,CC1
Sales,EntityA,CC2
I don't have a problem assigning the record to 1 CostCenter based on DriverX value but I have a problem creating my second record. Does any of you have had the same "challenge" and if so would you like to share the solution for this?
Best regards,
Johan
PS: I am working on SAP BPC, version 7.0 Microsoft version.

Hi Greg,
Many thanks for your answer. And yes this would be a solution. However I just simplified my case as the decision to create an second record and where to post is depending on more than 1 field in the source.
But I will keep it in mind, because I also can opt for a solution to store data differently in BPC fac-tabels which will help me to use script logic.
If it is not possible to create multiple records from a single records in the standard functionality in the Transformation and/or Conversion file, I have to create a custom DTSX or change my way of storing data.
Anyone else who is having an alternative idea like Greg came up with?
Please let it know!
Best regards,
Johan

Creating multiple records

When creating multiple records in a table using a SBO object eg invoice object, do you have to create a new business object for each record that is created? There is a lot of overhead in doing this (eg each object takes about 1MB of mem so to create 1000 invoices would hog 1GB of mem). Is there a way to create just one instance of the object and use it to create many records? How is the object cleared in between each record creation?

Greg,
Everytime you call GetBusinessObject() you should, at the end, also release the acquired memory.
This can be done with the following code in .net (C#):
System.GC.Collect();
System.GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
Another way to clear all the data is to call the <b>GetByKey(-1)</b>; the document with docentry '-1' does never exists and the fields of the object are normally cleared.

Jurgen

HCM Processes and Forms - Create multiple records of one infotype (eg 0008)

Dear all,
I'm trying to create two new records in infotype 0008 (basic pay). Regarding it's time constraint 1 it should like the following:
Before
01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 2000u20AC
After
01.01.2010 - 08.11.2010 - 2000u20AC
09.11.2010 - 31.12.2010 - 2500u20AC
01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 3000u20AC
So I want to add two splits two the record. One is easy, as it's done by the SAP_PA operation. I experimented with the record indices and duplicating my fields, but it didn't work. Another idea would be to retriggerd the SAP_PA several times using scenario steps.
Can you give me a hint, by which lever multiplee splits can be achieved? Or is this not possible at all?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Thanks for your fast reply.
Knowing this as a fallback is comforting. I just want to ensure, that I don't apply any coding, if a task is also possible by customizing.
Another idea I had in the meantime was to execute the SAP_PA several times. Do you have any experience, if this works to create multiple records in one infotype?

How to create multiple records using ADF

Currently working on my first ADF BC and UIX project, and I basically want to create multiple records after a user makes a choice on the screen. I would like to know at what layer should this functionality be implemented?
Would this be more at the Struts/Controller level, where I have a java class to perform the creation as part of a data action? I ask because, I am not sure if this is feasible at the ADF BC level (View objects and Entity Objects) via some sort of customization, and i am new to the different possibilies avail as part of the ADF framework
Regards

(Jdeveloper 10.1.2.1 build 1913, Oracle DB 10.1.2)

I'd put it into the application module. You then can call the method from the controller layer or from an other application module. This way you put it into the business logic, which helps if you ever decide to use a different client approach (like swing).

JDev 11g: Create Multiple Record.

Hi,
I have a requirement to create multiple record by clicking the create button multiple times and on one click it should save all the records. Everything is working fine, but the issue is,
when user created 4 records and the 5th record he doesn't want to create then issue is comming. Application is forcing him to enter the data, is there is any way to handle this situation.
I mean, if the 5th record doesn't contain any data.. it should save 4 records only. Please suggest me the solution to achieve this.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Shay,
Thanks for your reply. But your second solution will never occur in my case because validator methods will not allow user to click on save button without entering the proper data.
Is there any otherway instead of deleting the record to achieve this functionality.
Thanks,
Rajesh

How display top 3 revenues in one block and remaining in another block

then create a block level filter on the 2nd block as v_Rank Greater than 3.
you may need to modify the variable formula as per requirement to get the rank of the row.

Single Form Erroneously Creating Multiple Records

I've created a form that uses several pages, with different fields of the form on each page. The pages branch from one to the next depending on the choices made by the user, mostly using a regular select list or a radiogroup with submit. The problem I'm having is that some fields are being populated in one record on one page, and then the information entered by the user on the next page, for another column, creates a new record, so that every time a user would be finished making a complete entry into the form, multiple records have been created, with null fields in each from where those fields were populated, but in a different record. How can I make sure that only one record is created by the user each time they use this form?

Basically the way the page is designed is that there are only three main pages the user will see. 1) The login page then 2) The main menu page, and then 3) The page where they input the information that should populate the remainder of the fields in that record in the table.
The login page simply allows the user to access the menu page, and submits no data. The main menu page consists of 5 fields. Three of them are text fields, the fourth is a date field with a date picker. The fifth field is a radiogroup with submit that has 5 options which branch to 5 respective pages. Upon selecting an option from the radiogroup, these fields submit their data to the table and redirect the user to whichever page was designated by their choice.
This brings up the third page. Most of these other 5 pages consist simply of 4 fields; two required select lists, one required textarea field, and one nonrequired textarea field. Anyway, the problem occurs because instead of populating the remaining fields in the same record, each page with information to submit creates a new record.
I realize that the preceding may not be any additional relevant info., but I thought that if anything, there may be a better way to do that anyway. I thought that maybe editing the "Process" in the Page Definition could be where I need to change something, but I'm not sure how.
Right now my "Process Point" is set as "On Submit - After Computations and Validations," and my "Run Process" is set as the default "Once Per Page Visit." These settings are the same on every page on which I have fields that submit data; however, one difference I noticed is in the process editing interface for the initial menu page, the "Name" says "Insert row into USER_INPUT (table name) with a "Type" of "PL/SQL Anonymous Block", whereas all the other pages processes are named "Process row of USER_INPUT" with a type of "Automatic Row Processing (DML)." Am I even close to where I need to be looking to find the solution to this problem? Sorry for the novel I just wrote, but if there's any additional info. I can provide, just let me know.

Creating multiple Spry menu bars in one site

I've been creating a website and I am required to use multiple templates to manage all the different sections of the site. To make it much less of a hassle, once I created one template, I simply saved that template as another template so I would not have to start all over again. On the first template I created a spry menu bar with a certain amount of buttons. And because I created the other templates with that template, those templates had the same menu bar containing the same settings. The problem is, because of the specified settings of the spry menu bar, if I change the amount of buttons from the original to one less, the whole bar on that template will get off center and messed up because the settings for the menu bar are not set to that certain amount of buttons, but if I change the settings to suite that amount of buttons, then the settings for all the templates change and that messes up the other menu bars on those templates because they have a different amount of buttons. Currently my templates all contain 10 buttons and I am wanting to create a new menu bar with only about 4 - 6 buttons. I thought going up to insert and inserting a brand new menu bar would do the trick but when I did that it inserted a menu bar that had all the settings of the already-created menu bar, (ie same background images, and hovers, etc.) as well as the width which, because the width is suited for 10 buttons, it does not properly make the default 4 button menu bar center correctly. And if I try to change the settings on this menu bar then the same thing happens with everything changing and getting messed up.
So after this long explanation, my question is, how can I insert multiple spry menu bars into one site that are not correlated with each other in terms of all the settings so that when changed, will not affect each other? I am guessing I am having this problem because I created all the templates from one template so they are all interlocked, but the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on was not created from any of the templates and was the first page I made at the very start.
http://phonytrojanmusic.zxq.net/ Here is the link to the site. The first page that opens up is the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on. If you click on band choir or elementary you will see the menu bars with 10 buttons that are all interlocked in terms of settings. Also, I'd like to note that if I delete a button in one template, it does not delete that same button in the other templates, nor does it add a button to the other templates if I add one. Only the physical appearance changes because the settings are meant for only one amount of buttons. Sorry for the novel!

Alright well I just tried to use 2 complete different templates. I created one brand new template from scratch, added the menu bar, gave it an ID of "band", and configured it to suite 10 buttons accordingly. Then I started off from scratch again with a starting html page with a different css style sheet and added the menu bar and gave it a different ID of "choir" but the settings of the two different bars still act as one set of settings! I dont know how to fix this problem. Please tell me what to post if anything will help you. Im guessing the solution is very simple but I have tried everything.
here is the code for the two different menu bars (one in each template)

Data merge CS5, will not create multiple records.

I have my base elements on the master page and two text boxes on page 1 on of a single page document. I am creating raffle tickets so there is box on the left side of the page and the right side of the page. I need this step 3 times down the sheet.
I've tried using a comma delimited and tab delimited file. These files have two columns with numbers 1-500 and each with a different heading. Ticket 1 and Ticket 2.
When I turn on multiple records nothing step and repeats. It looks exactly the same as a single record. I make raffle tickets like these quite often but the template I've used for the last few years is 1 up, built to the size of the ticket, and everything works great. I end up with 500 pages, send through our impositioning software then print.
In this case, my client wants to print the files themselves and have them stepped up 4 per sheet.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!

When I read the third line of Kimberli's email, I thought of this article from my blog which might help if the artwork was set up as it was in previous years (i.e. 1up)
http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/theres-more-than-one-way-to-cut-and-stack/
It takes the 1-up PDF and allows it to be placed into InDesign as it it were prepared in an n-up imposition.
It isn't a fix to the multiple record issue that the OP has, but rather a workaround.

Create Multiple records in transformation routine

Hi,
Could anyone let me know how to do creation of multiple records (from one source record) in BI 7.0 transformation routine, E.g.
Source record
Cost Center   Period 01       Period 02
       1234          $30                $50
--> (After transformation)
Period    Cost center    Total cost
01              1234             $30
02              1234             $50
Many thanks,
Alvin

The problem was with the following code segment:
tmp_curr_rec_id := get_block_property( :system.current_block, current_record );
set_record_property( tmp_curr_rec_id, :system.current_block, status, new_status );
After omitting these two lines, the code worked properly.

HOW TO CREATE MULTIPLE RECORDS IN A NONE DATABASE BLOCK?

I have a Form where I have a none database block with unbound items. The block
has 10 records. In the when-new-block instance I run a query by which I would
like to fill up the block with data. The code fragment looks like the
following:
begin
declare
tmp_curr_rec_id number;
begin
-- a hibak kiolvasasa
for c_hibak in ( select h.*, h.rowid
from hibak h
where 1=1 -- WF - Ide kerul a szurofeltetel
order by bejelentes_datum asc
) loop
-- bemasoljuk az adatokat az unbound item-ekbe
:mc_adat.ub_azonosito := c_hibak.azonosito;
:mc_adat.ub_verzio_letrehozas_datum :=
c_hibak.verzio_letrehozas_datum;
:mc_adat.ub_bejelento := c_hibak.bejelento;
:mc_adat.ub_bejelentes_datum := c_hibak.bejelentes_datum;
:mc_adat.ub_wf_verzio_csomopont :=
c_hibak.wf_verzio_csomopont;
:mc_adat.ub_wf_utolso_esemeny_szoveg :=
c_hibak.wf_utolso_esemeny_szoveg;
:mc_adat.ub_hiba_leiras := c_hibak.hiba_leiras;
:mc_adat.ub_hiba_hely := c_hibak.hiba_hely;
:mc_adat.ub_rekord_jelleg := 'H';
:mc_adat.ub_rowid := c_hibak.rowid;
-- beallitjuk a rekordot-ot olyanra, mintha semmi nem valtozott
volna
-- nem szeretnenk a form bezaraskor mindenfele figyelmezteteseket
-- olvasni a kepernyon
tmp_curr_rec_id := get_block_property( :system.current_block,
current_record );
set_record_property( tmp_curr_rec_id, :system.current_block,
status, new_status );
create_record;
end loop;
end;
end;
The block's update allowed, insert allowed, delete allowed property is set to
true.
The result of the code above is that only the last record fetched shows up in
the block. The problem is - as I found out - is that aech record is fetched,
the values are copied to the block items, but the create_record built-in
command would not move the cursor to the next row.
Can some one please help me with this?
TIA,
Tamas Szecsy

Creating Multiple records from 1 record

Very new to OWB and running into a problem. I have data from a reservation system that stores an arrival and departure date for a reservation. I need to be able to create a separte record for each day of the stay in order to simplify reporting. In addition there is a revenue field which I need to divide over each day of the stay.
Any assistance would be apreciated.

It's easy to turn a single row into multiple rows - that's what Pivot operator is for http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B12146_01/mapoperators.htm#sthref1865.
The challenge I see is how to turn the range of values into discrete individual values (which then can serve as input to Pivot). Does the range have predictable and manageable upper limit, like a week?

SqlLoader: how to create multiple records out of one CSV input line?

A question concerning the SQL-Loader.
I need to load data from a CSV file where one of the CSV values determines how many records should be inserted.
Example of the input data:
KEYWORD;2;REC1_COL1_X,REC1_COL2_X;REC2_COL1_X;REC2_COL2_X
KEYWORD;3;REC1_COL1_Y;REC1_COL2_Y,REC2_COL1_Y;REC2_COL2_Y;REC3_COL1_Y;REC3_COL2_Y
KEYWORD;4;REC1_COL1_Z;REC1_COL2_Z,REC2_COL1_Z;REC2_COL2_Z;REC3_COL1_Z;REC3_COL2_Z,REC4_COL1_Z;REC4_COL2_Z
If the KEYWORD is found, then the next value determines how many value pairs will follow, and therefore how many rows should be created in the affected DB table.
As a result I hope to achieve this:
SELECT Column1, Column2 FROM testTable
REC1_COL1_X,REC1_COL2_X
REC2_COL1_X;REC2_COL2_X
REC1_COL1_Y;REC1_COL2_Y
REC2_COL1_Y;REC2_COL2_Y
REC3_COL1_Y;REC3_COL2_Y
REC1_COL1_Z;REC1_COL2_Z
REC2_COL1_Z;REC2_COL2_Z
REC3_COL1_Z;REC3_COL2_Z
REC4_COL1_Z;REC4_COL2_Z
I learned how to import data using Oracle SQL loader for cases where one input line more or less matches a (new) row in a DB table. But how to handle this?
