Single Trigger for muliple tables

Hi All,
I have one requirement to create a trigger to populate a table (X) based on the any insert or update on few tables (A,B,C,D,E,F).
Do I need to create trigger for each table ??. any idea of using all tables in one trigger.

Hi,
this is not possible.
but you can use multiple trigger on single table
if you can use view, then you can use INSTEAD OF Trigger on view
for example
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW manager_info AS
    SELECT e.ename, e.empno, d.dept_type, d.deptno, p.prj_level,
           p.projno
        FROM   Emp_tab e, Dept_tab d, Project_tab p
        WHERE e.empno = d.mgr_no
        AND    d.deptno = p.resp_dept;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER manager_info_insert
INSTEAD OF INSERT ON manager_info
REFERENCING NEW AS n                 -- new manager information
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
   rowcnt number;
BEGIN
   SELECT COUNT(*) INTO rowcnt FROM Emp_tab WHERE empno = :n.empno;
   IF rowcnt = 0 THEN
       INSERT INTO Emp_tab (empno,ename) VALUES (:n.empno, :n.ename);
   ELSE
      UPDATE Emp_tab SET Emp_tab.ename = :n.ename
         WHERE Emp_tab.empno = :n.empno;
   END IF;
   SELECT COUNT(*) INTO rowcnt FROM Dept_tab WHERE deptno = :n.deptno;
   IF rowcnt = 0 THEN
      INSERT INTO Dept_tab (deptno, dept_type)
         VALUES(:n.deptno, :n.dept_type);
   ELSE
      UPDATE Dept_tab SET Dept_tab.dept_type = :n.dept_type
         WHERE Dept_tab.deptno = :n.deptno;
   END IF;
   SELECT COUNT(*) INTO rowcnt FROM Project_tab
      WHERE Project_tab.projno = :n.projno;
   IF rowcnt = 0 THEN
      INSERT INTO Project_tab (projno, prj_level)
         VALUES(:n.projno, :n.prj_level);
   ELSE
      UPDATE Project_tab SET Project_tab.prj_level = :n.prj_level
         WHERE Project_tab.projno = :n.projno;
   END IF;

Error while create trigger on for nested table

I want to insert a record into a nested table.For this, I created a view for the table, which includes the nested table.It told me ORA-25015 cannot perform DML on this nested table view column.So I created a trigger for the nested table.However, it told me that ORA-25010 Invalid nested table column name in nested table clause.I think my nested table is valid, i don't konw why did it appear this kind of problem?
My table is
CREATE TABLE ENT
ID NUMBER(7) NOT NULL,
CREATE_DATE VARCHAR2(11 BYTE),
UPDATE_DATE VARCHAR2(11 BYTE),
DEPTS VARRAY_DEPT_SEQ
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE DEPT AS OBJECT
ID NUMBER(8),
ANCHOR VARCHAR2(20),
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE " VARRAY_DEPT_SEQ" as varray(930) of DEPT
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ENT_NESTED_VIEW
(ID, CREATE_DATE, UPDATE_DATE, DEPTS)
AS
select e.ID,cast(multiset(select r.id,r.anchor from ent z, table(z.depts) r where z.ID=e.ID )as varray_dept_seq)
FROM ENT e
Then when I created trigger;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER EMP.ENT_NESTED_TRI
INSTEAD OF INSERT
ON NESTED TABLE DEPTS OF EMP.ENT_NESTED_VIEW
REFERENCING NEW AS New OLD AS Old PARENT AS Parent
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
END ;
I met the problem: ORA-25010 Invalid nested table column name in nested table clause
Could you please tell me the reason
Thank you!
My insert SQL is:
insert into table(select depts from ent_nested_view where id=1856) values(varray_dept_seq(dept(255687,'AF58743')))

Hi,TongucY
Compared with the "Referencing Clause with Nested Tables" part of this reference -
http://psoug.org/reference/instead_of_trigger.html, I found the answer of this
quesion. That is "CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE " VARRAY_DEPT_SEQ" as[b] varray(930) of
DEPT". It turns to be a varying array, not a nested table. It should be "CREATE OR
REPLACE TYPE " VARRAY_DEPT_SEQ" as table of DEPT". That is OK. Thank you very
much!
While there is an another question, if I create a varying array like" CREATE OR
REPLACE TYPE " VARRAY_DEPT_SEQ" as[b] varray(930) of DEPT " and I want to insert
a record into the varying array, which the record has been existed.The method that
create a view and a trigger seems not to be effective.
For instance,
There is a record in the table
ID:1020
CREATE_DATE:2005-10-20
UPDATE_DATE:2007-2-11
DETPS: ((10225,AMY))
I want to ask this record to be
ID:1020
CREATE_DATE:2005-10-20
UPDATE_DATE:2007-2-11
DETPS: ((10225,AMY),(10558,TOM))
How should I do?
Could you please help me?
Best regards.

Help me in creating a Trigger for Insert and Update Options

Hi
Please help me in creating a Trigger .
My requirement is that after insert or update on a Table , i want to fire an event .
I have started this way ,but doesn't know how to fully implement this .
say i have a dept table
CREATE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES("123","Kiran");
END DepartmentTrigger;
Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .
Thanks in advance .

Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .Add "Or Update". ;-)
Here are a few suggestions, but you definitely need to refer to the manual page that the previous poster suggested.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT Or Update ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(:new.Dept,'DEPT ADDED OR CHANGED');
END DepartmentTrigger;
The "Or Replace" means you can replace the trigger while you're developing without having to type in a drop statement every time. Just change and rerun your script, over and over until you get it right.
Adding "Or Update" or "Or Delete" makes the trigger fire for those events too. Note, you may want seperate triggers in different scripts and with different names for each event. You have to decide if your design really does the same thing whether it's an insert or an update.
:new.Dept is how you would refer to the changed vale of the Dept column (:old.Dept is the prior value). I changed the double quotes on the string in the VALUES clause to single quotes.

Creating a Trigger for Deleting the records from a parent Table

I am new to creating Trigger
We will need several small tables that will be used to store any records that are deleted by the owner of the table. These will likely need a trigger where we would Delete from the parent table and on that Delete populate the child table with the previous record's data.
Please give me a pseudo code for this
Thanks
John
Edited by: user10750995 on Dec 30, 2008 9:06 AM

Something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_my_table_hist
AFTER DELETE
ON my_table
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Hist_MyTable
( column1, column2, ..., DELETION_DATE)
VALUES
(:OLD.column1, :OLD.column2, ...., SYSDATE);
END;
/My_Table is your main table. When a row is deleted, the trigger will be fired and copy the deleted row to another table called Hist_My_Table. I'm supposing that the history table has all columns as they are defined in main tables plus a column named DELETION_DATE.
My experience indicates that, probably, it's a good idea maintain update history and the user. But it depends on your requests.

Miguel

thankx

Hello David
I used the way list and go button which is more safer than creating buttons because
you can populate the list on fly.
     | dropdown list     \/
          | go button |

     rg_list_id RECORDGROUP;
     ret_code     NUMBER;

     IF NOT ID_NULL(rg_list_id) THEN
          DELETE_GROUP(rg_list_id);
     END IF;
     rg_list_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY('RG_LIST','SELECT FUNCTION_ID, FUNCTION_ID FROM SMS_ROLE_FUNCTION WHERE SMS_ROLE_FUNCTION.DB_ROLE ='||''''||:GLOBAL.USER_ROLE||''''||' ORDER BY SEQUENCE_NO');

hi mahammad rafi,

Introduction to SAP SmartForms
What is SAP Smart Forms?
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all
cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic
are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via
a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At
runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals,
and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks
whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use
background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can
suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in
minimum time.
You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure
(tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for
graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content
and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content
from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is
necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with
data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)
A Simple Smartform Tutorial
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms
support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic
ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive
conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
        Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
         Global settings :
         Form interface
         Variable name    Type assignment   Reference type
         ITAB1               TYPE                  Table Structure
         Global definitions
         Variable name    Type assignment   Reference type
         ITAB2               TYPE                  Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
   e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
           IT_GEN for printing data details.
   You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
    Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
    Declare your output fields in Text elements
    Tabstrips - Output Options
    For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
    For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS
You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis Administration, Configuration Hints and Tips
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format.
In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are
working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a
particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to
create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk.   When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up
the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is
printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is
something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
FAQ on Migrating SAPscript to SmartForms
Is it possible to migrate a SAPscript form to a Smart Form?
Smart Forms provides a migration tool for this purpose which migrates layout and texts of a SAPscript form to a Smart Form. It does not
migrate SAPscript form logic of the print program. Using Smart Forms, this logic is described by the tree structure of the Form Builder. The
effort involved in migrating it depends on the complexity of the print program.
Which Basis Release do I need to use SAP Smart Forms?
SAP Smart Forms is available as of R/3 Basis Release 4.6C.
I have heard that Smart Forms replaces SAPscript. What does "replace" mean?
It does not mean that SAPscript is removed from the Basis shipment. Even as of Basis Release 4.6C, SAPscript remains part of the SAP
standard and there are no plans to remove it. Since Smart Forms is currently, and will continue to be, the tool for form maintenance for
mySAP.com solutions, our further development efforts will focus on Smart Forms, not on SAPscript.
Do we have to migrate all SAPscript forms to Smart Forms?
There is no point in migrating all SAPscript forms already in use. Since SAPscript can still be used and will be available in the future, there is
no need to. If you plan to migrate a SAPscript form, it is recommended that you check whether benefit is worth the effort involved.
Conversion of SAPSCRIPT to SMARTFORMS
SAP provides a conversion for SAPscript documents to SMARTforms.
This is basically a function module, called FB_MIGRATE_FORM. You can start this function module by hand (via SE37), or create a small ABAP
which migrates all SAPscript forms automatically.
You can also do this one-by-one in transaction SMARTFORMS, under
Utilities -> Migrate SAPscript form.
You could also write a small batch program calling transaction SMARTFORMS and running the migration tool.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the
corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in
the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the
user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all
form outputs are included in an output request
Smart forms Frequently Asked Questions
Forcing a page break within table loop
Create a loop around the table. Put a Command node before the table in the loop that forces a NEWPAGE on whatever condition you want.
Then only loop through a subset of the internal table (based on the conditions in the Command node) of the elements in the Table node.
Font style and Font size
Goto Transaction SMARTSTYLES.
There you can create Paragraph formats etc just like in sapscript.
Then in your window under OUTPUT OPTIONS you include this SMARTSTYLE and use the Paragraph and character formats.
Line in Smartform
Either you can use a window that takes up the width of your page and only has a height of 1 mm.
Then you put a frame around it (in window output options).
Thus you have drawn a box but it looks like a line.
Or you can just draw "__" accross the page and play with the fonts so that it joins each UNDER_SCORE.
Difference between 'forminterface' and 'global definitions' in global settings of smart forms
The Difference is as follows.
To put it very simply:
Form Interface is where you declare what must be passed in and out of the smartform (in from the print program to the smartform and out
from the smartform to the print program).
Global defs. is where you declare data to be used within the smartform on a global scope.
ie: anything you declare here can be used in any other node in the form.
Smartforms function module name
Once you have activated the smartform, go to the environment -> function module name. There you can get the name of funtion module
name.
The key thing is the program that calls it. for instance, the invoice SMARTFORM LB_BIL_INVOICE is ran by the program RLB_INVOICE.
This program uses another FM to determine the name of the FM to use itself. The key thing is that when it calls this FM (using a variable to
store the actual name), that the parameters match the paramters in your smartform.
Another thing to note is that the FM name will change wherever the SF is transported to.
So you need to use the FM to determine the name of the SF.
Here is the code that can be use to determine the internal name of the function module:
Code:
if sf_label(1) <> '/'.    " need to resolve by name
    move sf_label to externalname.
    call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
         exporting
              formname           = externalname
         importing
              fm_name            = internalname
         exceptions
              no_form            = 1
              no_function_module = 2
              others             = 3.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message 'e427'.
    endif.
    move internalname to sf_label.
endif.
It checks to see if the sf_label starts with a '/', which is how the internal names start. if it does, the name has already been converted. If
not, it calls the FM and converts the name.
You would then CALL FUNCTION sf_label.
Smartforms FAQ Part Two
Smartforms output difference
Problem with Smartforms: in a certain form for two differently configured printers, there seem to be a difference in the output of characters
per inch (the distance between characters which gives a layout problem - text in two lines instead of one.
It happens when the two printers having different Printer Controls' if you go to SPAD Menu (Spool Administrator Menu) you can see the
difference in the Printer Control and if you make the Printer control setting for both the printers as same. then it will be ok. and also u have
to check what is the device type used for both the output devices.
SmartForms Output to PDF
There is a way to download smartform in PDF format.
Please do the following:
1. Print the smartform to the spool.
2. Note the spool number.
3. Download a PDF file (Acrobat Reader) version of the spool by running Program RSTXPDFT4 and entering the
noted spool number.
SmartForm Doublesided printing question
Your customer wants your PO SmartForm to be able to print "Terms and Conditinos" on the back side of each page. They don't want to
purchase pre-printed forms with the company's logo on the front and terms & conditions on the back. Now this presents an interesting
problem.
Has anyone else ever had a request like this? If for example there was a 3 page PO to be printed, they want 3 pieces of paper, the front
side of each to containe the PO information (page 1, 2, and 3) and the back side of each piece of paper to containg the static "Terms &
Conditions" information.
Anyone have a clue how to force this out?
Easy - page FRONT lists page CONTACTS as next page and CONTACTS lists FRONT as next page. Since CONTACTS does not contain a MAIN
window, it will print the contacts info and then continue on to FRONT for the rest of the main items. Additionally, set print mode on FRONT to
D (duplex) and set CONTACTS to 'blank' (for both resource name and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page).
Transport Smart Forms
How does one transport SMARTFORM? SE01?
How do you make sure that both, the SMARTFORM & it's function module gets transported? Or does the FM with same name gets generated
automatically in the transported client?
A smartform is transported no differently than any other object. if it is assigned to a development class that is atteched to a transport layer,
it will be transported.
The definition is transported, and when called, the function module is regenerated.
This leads to an interetsing situation. On the new machine, it is very likely the function module name will be different than the name on the
source system. Make sure, before you call the function module, you resolve the external name to the internal name using the
'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' function module.
Typically, generate the SF, then use the pattern to being in the interface. Then change the call function to use the name you get back from
the above function module.
Smartforms: protect lines in main window.
How to protect lines in the main window from splitting between pages?
It was easy with SAPscript, but how to do it with SF's.   For 4.7 version if you are using tables, there are two options for protection against
line break:
- You can protect a line type against page break.
- You can protect several table lines against page break for output in the main area.
Protection against page break for line types
- Double-click on your table node and choose the Table tab page.
- Switch to the detail view by choosing the Details pushbutton.
- Set the Protection against page break checkbox in the table for the relevant line type. Table lines that use this line type are output on
one page.
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file
using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option.   All table lines that are in the file with the Page
Protection option set are output on one page.
In 4.6, Alternatively in a paragraph format use the Page protection attribute to determine whether or not to display a paragraph completely
on one page. Mark it if you want to avoid that a paragraph is split up by a page break. If on the current page (only in the main window)
there is not enough space left for the paragraph, the entire paragraph appears on the next page.
Details information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the
logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP
support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as
the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format
language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most
important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on
the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not
normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses
specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to
support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP pri

Use of "DBA_OBJECTS" in "AFTER CREATE" Trigger

Hi,
We would like to store some extra information about our objects we have in the database. To do so we tought of the idea of creating a 'documenting' table containing an object_id that references to the object_id from the view dba_views.
Now we want to automatically create a new record in our documenting table when a new object is created, in the first stage this should only contain the object_id
To accomplish this we are using an 'AFTER CREATE' trigger, but when this trigger fires and the code searches for the new object_id in dba_objects, it does not return any records and generates an error. Likely because when the trigger is executed, the view is not yet updated?
create or replace
TRIGGER TRG_TEST
AFTER CREATE ON SCOTT.SCHEMA
DECLARE
tmp VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line(ora_dict_obj_name);
select object_id
into tmp
from dba_objects
where object_name = ora_dict_obj_name;
dbms_output.put_line(tmp);
END;
Error report:
ORA-04088: Fout bij uitvoering van trigger 'SCOTT.TRG_TEST'.
ORA-01403: Geen gegevens gevonden.
ORA-06512: in regel 6
04088. 00000 - "error during execution of trigger '%s.%s'"
*Cause:    A runtime error occurred during execution of a trigger.
*Action:   Check the triggers which were involved in the operation.
It's in dutch, so I'll have a go at translating:
Error report:
ORA-04088: Exception while executing trigger 'SCOTT.TRG_TEST'.
ORA-01403: No data found
ORA-06512: in rule 6
04088. 00000 - "error during execution of trigger '%s.%s'"
*Cause:    A runtime error occurred during execution of a trigger.
*Action:   Check the triggers which were involved in the operation.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can accomplish what I'm trying to do here.. Or maybe something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Davy

What is "ora_dict_obj_name" defined as?
Another option might be to setup a DBMS_SCHEDULER job to run the following insert
firstly though, create the following table ;
create document_table as (select * from dba_objects where rownum < 1)and then setup a DBMS_SCHEDULER job to run the following:
begin
insert into document_table
(select dbo.*
   from   dba_objects    dbo
         ,document_Table dtb
   where dbo.Object_ID = dtb.Object_ID(+)
   and    dtb.Object_ID is null);
   commit;
   exception
    when others then
      rollback;
      -- log a message somewhere with the error, i.e. SQLERRM
end;
/Note, I specified all columns, but you'll probably specify explicitly which column you require, in which case the CREATE table would change as well.
Then you won't have a need for any trigger, and can better manage when you want your documentation to be updated.
Another option might be to use COMMENT, which can be used on tables, views, materialized views, but won't cover all objects
to the extent you might want.
SQL> desc emp2

Execute create trigger script in a procedure

Is it possible to create a trigger with pl/sql?
I have made a procedure thats makes the create or replace trigger statement.
(when i copy and past the statement the trigger is created succesvol)
How can i execute the create trigger statement on the end of the procedure?
Thanks.

Well, then proceed with dynamic SQL.
Or, in my opinion much better: produce a SQL script with variables for table name and trigger name.
Then run this script with the appropriate values every time you have created a table.

Guido

Now i want to create trigger when new record get inserted in employee table wanted to update person_id in employee_resources table.
So i want to match ems_candidate.name with employee.full_name , ems_candidate.ems_job_id with employee.ems_job_id. And if it matched then update person_id in employee_resources table else through an exception and insert record in temp table.
If anybody has an idea can u please help me.
Thanks,
Gayatri.

I created below trigger
CREATE TRIGGER emp_resources_upd_person_id
AFTER INSERT ON ems.employee
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    UPDATE ems.employee_resources
       SET person_id = :new.person_id
     WHERE candidate_id = (SELECT ems_candidate_id
                             FROM ems.ems_candidate cand, ems.employee emp

                              AND TRIM(UPPER(emp.last_name)) = TRIM(UPPER(SUBSTR (cand.name,INSTR (cand.name, ' ') + 1,DECODE (INSTR (SUBSTR (cand.name, INSTR (cand.name, ' ') + 1), ' '),0,LENGTH (cand.name),(INSTR (SUBSTR (cand.name, INSTR (cand.name, ' ') + 1), ' ') - 1)))))
                              AND emp.person_id = :new.person_id);

WHEN OTHERS THEN
    INSERT INTO ems.update_person_id_exception(person_id,first_name,last_name,full_name) VALUES(:new.person_id,:new.first_name,:new.last_name,:new.full_name);

Now when i am trying to insert row in ems.employee table it gives me an error
ORA-04091
