DATABASE ITEM VALUE AS WINDOW TITLE

Hai Everyone,
I want my Window title to display customer ID and customer name ,how can i do it.........???????????.
I tried with SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,'ORDER.CUSTOMER_ID'); in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE.It didn't work.
Kindly help.

well the problem is here i think:
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,'ORDER.CUSTOMER_ID');
why the item name as a string?!?
also why copy the value of the item to a variable, and set the title to this variable?!?
why not simply use the item?!?
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,:ORDER.CUSTOMER_ID);
if you want to use this code in pll's or mmb's you can use name_in built-in:
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,name_in('ORDER.CUSTOMER_ID'));

How to access each row value for a database item

On my form I have a database datablock that represents a table in my database.
5 rows are shown with a scroll bar that can be viewed to show the rest.
The user is able to change some of the Database Item values represented in this datablock for any row shown in the datablock.
I need to validate the correctness of the users change before allowing the database datablock to update the table in the database.
But a database item in a datablock will represent a value for every row in the table. So how do I access each row value for a database item separately. What is the PL/SQL syntax?
thanks,
michelle

In my situation it was better to use the loop instead
of a when validate trigger because...Well it was clearly not better to use a loop that doesn't work. I don't understand what you're not clear on about the item and record validation triggers. If you have a specific validation rule for a single field (such as a date that cannot be in the future), that would go in a When-Validate-Item trigger on the date item. If the user enters a future date, your code would display an error message and raise a failure. Raising a failure prevents the item from being marked as valid. Invalid items prevent the record from being inserted/updated. Sometimes you have a validation rule that requires looking at more than one item at a time, such as two items that must either both be NULL or NOT NULL. In that case, you could not use a When-Validate-Item trigger because you can't clear or populate both at once. So then you would use a When-Validate-Record at the block level and if one field is NULL and the other isn't, you would display an error message and raise a failure. Forms is very civil in this respect; we don't throw exceptions around here, but then I digress.

Non-Database items in enter-query mode

I have a form with 2 base table blocks, typical master details situation. I wish to allow a field from the detail block to be queryable from the master block. I was considering adding a non-database item to the master block (visible only when in Enter-Query mode). In a pre-query trigger I would amend the DEFAULT-WHERE property of the master block when the appropriate where clause using the non-database item value. My prototype/test version works fine except the non-database item is not enabled while the master block is in enter-query mode.
I think basically forms will enable only field s if they are database items and queryable set to yes. There are no more database items I can use to set the non-database item column name property.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Ralph,
we have several Forms using non-database items as query-items which works fine.
What we did is following:
1) create non-database item xy in master-data-block
2) set property database item to no
3) set property query allowed to yes
4) create a pre-query trigger on master-data-block where we change the where-clause (this is forms6i, in 9i we would use the one-time-where-clause)

Add database SID to window title

Is there a way to append the database SID to the webformsTitle in the formsweb.cfg? I would like to use the same formsweb.cfg file for both test and prod, but be able to see which database I am connected to on the title bar.

Hi,
you could add the database name to the Browser title. Just add
pageTitle= ORCL_Prod
to the application definition of your application in formsweb.cfg. You can set this value in the default section, if it should be the same for all applications.
Alternatively, you can pass the database name as a parameter to Forms and set it there as a window property.

Non-Database Item Sort Using Multiple Block Values

I need to sort the result set of a block based on a calculated item. I found several messages addressing this, however they all speak to using the columns from within the same block as input variables to the function used to calculate the non-database column value.
My problem is that I need to use values from a different block as input variables. I have not found a way to use them since I need to use the full block.column syntax. Forms does not like this and always thows an error right at the period(.). I need to do this because the column names are the same in each block. the function compares the column values and changes the record instance background a different color based based on how many of the column pairs match. Each block is mutually exclusive from each other and doing a accurate join is not really possible.
I tried renaming the block column name to something unique, however I get a variable not bound error when I try to use it in the order by function even though their values are in the top most block.
For Example:
First Block. Contains a list of cases that need to be worked because the automated process could not find a valid provider based on the values received. This list is created by a background process.
Table: CASE_MAIN
TIN
CASE_ID
FCLTY_CM
MEDICARE_CM
Unrelated Second Block (i.e., no join). It uses the TIN value in the first block to get a list of all of the providers for the TIN associated with the Case so that a person can assign the correct Provider to the case (A TIN has a provider and address associated with it). As a result there is no link to the results of this table and the CASE_ID. That's what the users needs to do manually
Table: PROVIDER_MAIN
FCLTY
MEDICARE
I need to take the values in the first block and compare them in the second block so that I can recolor the background based on matching logic in the function below.
order by clause = get_vals( ''||:FCLTY_CM||''
,''||:MEDICARE_CM||''
,fclty
,medicare) desc
I am able to do the coloring within the form easily, however I need to order them by how many values match exactly so the ones that match to most value pairs show at the top. Hence ordering by the result of the function. I return a 0,1, or 2 based on the matches. 0 for none and 2 for both.
I cannot create a view because the sources of the information I need to compare are NOT related to each other, yet. that is what the application is designed to do. I have a case without a
provider assigned, but I have a tax id number that possible identifies the provider. I use this TIN to query the provider table for all of the possible providers under that TIN. As a result there is no link between the case information and provider information. The goal is to get this list compare the values from the target information and put the most likely matches on top, with
the ones with the most matches first. I can create a function many ways that takes in various parameters. For example Case ID and Provider Id and query the records in subselects
individually like so;
select count(*)
from (select fclty, medicare from case_main where case_id p_case_id) cm
,(select fclty, medicare from provider_main where prv_id = p_prv_id) pm
where cm.fclty = pm.fclty
and cm.medicare = pm.medicare
If the number is greater than zero I know I have a match with that provider and I can sort accoringly. I can also pass in the target information from case_main and the provider inforation from provider_main and then do an if/then statement for comparing. Then I can use this function to create a column value for each record and then use the same reference to the function in the order by clause to order by that value.
The problem comes in trying to reference the case_id or target information from a different block than where the fucntion needs to be used. I get a variable bound not error message. What am I missing here. Why can I not reference a uniquely named block item as a input variable to a function in a different block? Does Forms first figure out what it needs to retrieve and then executes the SQL for each block in isolation, or does the first block's result set get retrieved, then the second, third, etc. Based on the message i am getting I would suspect the former since it appears their is no value in subsequent blocks. If so is there anyway around this? thanks.

Don't quite understand your problem completely. But this might help. I sure hope your Provider_Main is a single-record block ...otherwise, how would you supply a list of values of FCLTY and MEDICARE to the function that does the sorting? Be awere, too, that the order-by is processed by the server, and NOT by Forms.
Assuming it is a single-record block, you can put the values into parameters:
:Parameter.Fclty := :Provider_Main.Fclty;
:Parameter.Medicare := :Provider.Medicare;
Execute_Query;
And your order-by clause would be
get_vals( ''||:FCLTY_CM||'',''||:MEDICARE_CM||'',
:Parameter.Fclty,
:Parameter.Medicare) desc
By the way, the first line of your order-by looks strange. Shouldn't it be:
get_vals( FCLTY_CM || ',' || MEDICARE_CM,
or even better, get_vals should take in 4 parameters:
get_vals(Fclty_cm, Medicare_cm, :parameter.Fclty, :parameter.Medicare)

Set value of hidden database item

I have a simple non-tabular form for creating rows in a table. I need to set the value of a hidden database item to be the same as a database item which the user enters.
I know this can be done by a database trigger and also by a custom update process, but is there other (simpler) way to do this ?
Vincent

Vincent,
By "hidden database item", I'm assuming that you mean a column in a table. By "database item which the user enters", I'm assuming that you mean a page item on your form. If that's correct, just edit that item in the builder, making its source type 'Database Column' and its source the column name, and the automatic row fetch and DML processes on the page will take care of the rest. If you mean something else, let us know.

Replacing Window Title with other value

Hi to everyone
Can anyone tell me how can I replace the window title with other values...for example with active record...mean client name should appear instead of window title.
Thanks in advance

Here is the code I use from a simple form. You can see it handles three separate environments, Client/Server, Web separate frame, and Web inside browser window.
I like to remove the "Oracle Forms Runtime" from the main window, only in Client/Server, you cannot remove the brackets. So you are left with - [ Your Title ]Here is the code. It can be put into either the Pre-Form or When-New-Form-Instance trigger. But note that once you do this, EVERY form must set its title, or the one you set last will show up on all your subsequent forms:
    DECLARE
      WINDOW_ID        WINDOW := FIND_WINDOW('WINDOW0');
      WTitle           Varchar2(100) := 'My Test Form';
    BEGIN
      Set_Window_Property(Window_Id,Window_State,Maximize);
      If Get_Application_Property(User_Interface) = 'WEB' then
        --Web forms: set MDI title, erase W0 title.
        Set_Window_Property(Window_Id,Title,' ');
        Set_Window_Property(Forms_MDI_Window,Title,' ' || WTitle);
        --- Check if running SeparateFrame=False (form within browser)
        If get_window_property(forms_mdi_window,title) is null then
          --SeparateFrame=False: running inside browser window.
          --Cannot set browser title; need to set Window0 title
          Set_Window_Property(Window_Id,Title,' ' || WTitle);
        end if;
      Else -- client/server forms
        Set_Window_Property(Forms_MDI_Window,Title,' ');
        Set_Window_Property(Window_Id,Title,' '||WTitle||' ');
      End if;
    END;

How to pass ITEM:VALUE pair in ICON view link of Interactive Report

When Icon View is enabled in an interactive report, you can display graphic images (blob data that are stored in the database) in 3 different views.
1) View Icons
2) View Report
3) View Detail
When you click on the displayed image in views 1 and 3 you navigate to a form to manage the row data and the image. By default it only passes the PK id of the row.
How do I pass additional ITEM:VALUE pairs when navigating to the detail form page? I want to pass &APP_PAGE_ID. to the form page as well.
There is an attribute under ICON VIEW called "Link Column" but if I put the "item:value" pair in the fields for this item's "ColumnLink" attributes, there is no effect.
Also for bonus points...
how do you make the ICON VIEW attributes, "HTML ALT Text" and "HTML TITLE Text" dynamic e.g. &ITEM. doesn't work here.
thanks in advance
Paul P

For your link column, parse a link column in your query like so
apex_util.prepare_url('f?p=M:53:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P53_IMAGE_ID:'||i.image_id)Scott

Database item of the balance cannot be shown

I have created a balance, and I want to use the value of this balance in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION but the database item of this balance cannot be shown with this formula (when access the data base item window in the formula) although it can be shown in another formulas with type 'Oracle Payroll'.
Can Anyone advice please.
Thank You

Not all the database items are available to all the Formulas. It depends on the context required by the database item.
You will have to write a formula function and calculate your balance value in the formula function. You will still need to use some database items to get a handle of the assignment/employee.
I'm afraid that not many database items may be available for such a formula type.
Also make sure that any database items you use work both from core apps and self service.
Thanks,
Tilak.

Can we catch the dynamic item value in Apex?

Hi All,
In my application i am using SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY_XL Function. The select list will be populated based on some product group id.
Some times the list will be 2 or 5 based on prgr id. Now how to catch the dynamic list item name. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Anoo..

Not directly. You can have two items and then dynamically switch between those two items. This can lead to other issues of cause. For example if the item value should be stored in the database, you have to decide which item to store and how to do that.
The field type itself should not be changed. There are a lot of other things that depend on that. Possible ? Yes. Advisable? No. Check the page source text to see the difference between a select item and a normal text field. Then think if you want to set all this dynamically.
Maybe a popup list would be better suited?
One more point: In my experience adding too many dynamic stuff onto a page will not improve the user experience, but will decrease it. So you should carefully consider if this is something. Dynamic actions are great, but they are not always the best tool for the job.

How to create a view in sql workshop depending on an application item value

Hello,
How coud I create a view in SQL worshop based on an application item value? For example select id, name
from gg_provider
where user = ' || :USER
So basically each user would have it's own view. But it does not work like that. I think when I use :USER then the database takes database user not the user logged in to apex application. How would be possible to use application user to create the view?
Thank you very much.

Instead of
:APP_USER
use
v('APP_USER')

Set item value at other page via URL-redirect

Hi, I have a button and I want to open a new window with it using an url-target.
</br>
</br>
javascript:window.open ('f?p=&APP_ID.:143:&SESSION.::NO:143:P143_KDT_ID,P143_MESSAGE:&P140_KDT_ID.,&P140_MESSAGE.') </br>
</br>
When I use branching I get an error that there is no page to branch to. I don't understand why. As a workaround I use an url-redirect when the button is pressed, but I'm stuck on getting the current item value into the target page. I tried using $v('P140_MESSAGE') but I can't get the url valid.

Jacob,
The problem was that when the HTML for the button is rendered, the value of P1_ITEM from session state was "glued in" to the generated URL at that time. If you then entered a value for the iterm, even though your onChange AJAX technique changed the value in session state it was too late to change the already generated HTML for the button, specifically the URL target for the button.
I created a Set Item2 button on your page with this for the URL attribute:
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::NO::P2_ITEM:' + document.getElementById('P1_ITEM').value);
Let me know if that does what you need.
There is another problem and I don't know the cause. When you click the button, it opens the new window properly but leaves the original page in an error state of some kind. I could not reproduce this in my application using the same js, so I'll be interested in how you solve that.

What is the alternative for DisplayMemberPath="Value" for Windows Store applications?

I think there is a bug with Windows Store Applications when it comes to using DisplayMemberPath="Value".
Here is my code
<ComboBox Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" SelectedValuePath="Key" DisplayMemberPath="Value" x:Name="comboBox1" FontSize="25"/>
var source = new Dictionary<string, double>();
source.Add("Item1", 0.4);
source.Add("Item2", 0.3);
source.Add("Item3", 0.1);
source.Add("Item4", 0.1);
var formateDSource = new Dictionary<string, string>();
foreach (var item in source)
formateDSource.Add(string.Format("[{0}, {1}]", item.Key, item.Value), item.Key);
comboBox1.ItemsSource = source;
If you use this code in WPF in works perfectly. However if you use this code in a Windows Store Application then the Combo Box is empty and an error is thrown. So is there an alternative way to do this in Windows Store Applications and have I unearthed a
bug? Because I have researched the Web for days and found no solution to this.*please do not comment unless you have tried my code as a Windows Store App not a WPF in Visual Studios. Can Someone post an example based on my code that works in Windows Store
Apps please because this is terrible.
Thanks
