Default value updated

Hello:
Can anybody provide help to me in this situation:
I have a form for user to choose an item from Pop Up LOV, once the user press the button "choose_item" to submit , the default value "Yes"of the availability of that item will be change to "No"
How can i perform that operation?
Thanks and best regards

So, when the user clicks submit have a process:
UPDATE
table
SET
available='N'
WHERE
id=:P1_ID
Then when you select (for reports etc) then you just do:
SELECT
FROM
table
WHERE
available!='N'
That's if I'm understanding correctly what you are trying to achieve.

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

Default value updation in table

Hi,
I want to update default value 'X' in ztable field through report.How to set the field value always containing X only.

Hi Anitha,
Can you a bit clarify your question ? - I understand if the ZTable field value is 'X' you need to update it right ?
Then , fetch the entries of the tables for which the field values is 'X' and modify the field value as per the business requirement and update the same table. You can use the work areas while updating the ZTable.
Thanks,

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
Thanks.

Hi Anagha,
So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
I will check on this too from my side.
By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

Default value in LOV field in Create and Update page in OAF

Hi All,
I am unable to default LOV field in Create and Update page in OAF.
I tried in below way :
OAMessageLovInputBean lovBean1 = (OAMessageLovInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("AAA");
But I am getting developer mode exception, so please guide me how i can set the default value for create and update page instead of using code in process request method in controller.
Thanks

Hi,
1) In case of create, you can default the value either in EOImpl or in AM while initializing the row:
//in EOImpl
public void create(AttributeList attributeList)
super.create(attributeList);
setXXAttribute(<value>);
//in AM, VO new row initialization :-
VOImpl VO = getVO1();
VO.setMaxFetchSize(0);
VORowImpl row = (VORowImpl)VO.createRow();
row.setXXAttribute(<value>);
VO.insertRow(row);
row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
2) In case of update, execute the VO (also set the where clause if required) in PR method of update page.

MySQL Default Values with Updates

This is a bit off topic, I'm hoping someone can help me here so I don't have to join the MySQL email list.
I would like to update a row in a table to use the mysql default values. So if TableA has FieldA which had a default value of 1, and now that value is 2, I would like to change this back to 1. Is there an easy way to do this?
Is there a command in MySQL I can use? Something like:
update TableA set FieldA = DEFAULT
Thanks for your time.
Tyson

Not according to the documentation (of version 3, anyway). You could delete the record then insert it, not mentioning the field you want to set to default.

Default values for Insert and Update

What is the best way to default the current sysdate for a date column on a table when doing an insert or update through a form? And related to this, what is the best way to default the current user (APP_USER) for a varchar2 column when doing an insert or update through a form?
For these columns, I want to display them on a report, but they should be hidden on the form because I would like to have the app default the values to sysdate and APP_USER. However, when I have tried to use the table default values in "user interface defaults" and using either :APP_USER or &APP_USER or SYSDATE, it only shows this literal value on the form (item is not hidden while I debug this). It does not show the actual value I'd want, such as "user1". Does this make sense?
Thanks for your help.

I think triggers are the best device.

After FF update the page setup is gone and back to default values

we use FF as default browser for our web application (desktop), delivering it as default browser on the hardware we deliver and as the advised web browser for desktops.
The very annoying thing is that after updates to newest versions (it lately happened with update to FF 24) the page settings are not kept.
Instead they are back to the default values as if it was a new installation. We use the page settings to have clean prints. That is: without disturbing headers and footers and with margins to 0 (zero).
I 've been searching for a while why this happens and could find a solution. As customers are vigorously complaining now, we have to reconsider our browser policy.

0.03937" isn't that 1mm?
Those "size" values will be displayed in inches if the Letter / Legal / other American paper sizes are set, and in mm for the "A" paper sizes used elsewhere. So if someone would be using A4, a 1mm setting would appear as 1.0 - not 0.03937 .
From what I have seen, only 2 digits after the decimal point should appear. Those ''(or similar)'' with 15 digits has been mentioned frequently here as occurring with broken printer settings.
As far as "why" with a fresh installation, I have no idea. Any chance your company is using a custom Firefox configuration file (cfg) to set your own default prefs? And those old prefs are configured as the default for all your installations? ''One way to check that would be to create a new Profile and see if those prefs appear automatically in the new Profile before printing anything. No printing prefs should appear as "user set" - or maybe only those??''
Until a few weeks ago "we" weren't aware that those prefs had changed with Firefox 6.0. This support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox - needed to be edited, after a user mentioned that he didn't have the ''older'' preferences and that article was misleading. I started investigating with every version from Firefox 2.0 up to Firefox (Nightly) 27.0, and discovered those prefs had been changed in Firefox 6.0 over 2 1/2 years ago. I had a number of other support contributors verify my findings in the Contributors forum; this article was edited as a result.<br />

Based on input file i need to update default values to some columns of database table using bulk copy process

Hi Team,
Am using BULK INSERT Format file option to load data into table from .txt file here am facing an issue i.e ibased on input file i need to insert default values to some columns of table so we can not declare it on table level, Can we give default values in
format file ? if we can give how it is ? or Any alternate possibilities to this scenario instead of BULK INSERT ?
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Thanks for your response, here i don't have any rights to change table structure the table is created by different team, my work is to load data from file to table. Is there any chance to supply default values by*XML* format file instead of *.fmt* file
please let me know the possibility.
Again, no. If you want to supply default values that are not present in DEFAULT constraints in the table definition, you will need to write your own code. There are plentyfull of options, and I have mentioned some already.
Here are some more:
* Table-valued parameters, see here for examples:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html
* Use BULK INSERT to load data to a staging table, and then apply the default values when you copy from staging to target.

SQLLDR - how to set a default value for an empty string

I'm using SQLLDR to load data from a flat file on Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 EE, Linux RHEL 4 update 6. Seems like my question is simple, but darned if I can't find the solution.
My source file (comma delimited extracted form a different RDBMS) has some (not all) rows where the output for a string is "", and not NULL. How do I check for empty string and add a default value in the control file? The target column is non-nullable
Here's my current control file - however, the column attributeName where sometimes the source record is "" does not get evaluated as NULL.
load data
infile 'mydata.del'
badfile 'mydata.bad'
discardfile 'mydata.dsc'
into table mydata
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
   TRAILING NULLCOLS
(l_metadata,
company,
className,
attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,null, 'none')",
attributeDefault)
{code}
When I tried decode with "", I received the following error:
{code}SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 11.

Hello,

#my_data.dat
"myname1", "attribname1"
"myname2", "attribname2"
"myname3", "attribname3"
"myname4", ""

Text Box/Area and default value

Is it possible to display a Text Box (or Text Area) in a Form page assigned a default value and prevent the user to change it? I need to register the actual user submitting the form. I have done this in WebDB22 Text Box and #user function but in Portal 3.0.6.6.5 it seems to be impossible to prevent the user to change the text value. Deselecting Validation Options, Updatable does not seems to help. Why?

The equivalent of Webdb #user function in portal is #portal30.wwctx_api.get_user.
If you specify this as a default value for a field it will be the same as #user. Also, "inseratble" and "updatable" checkboxes control the presence of a column in INSERT and UPDATE statements, so unchecking any of those checkboxes will remove the column from a respective statement.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Does GTC generate default value for Password attribute.??

I am using GTC as trusted source reconciliation.
My doubt is if I don’t map the password attribute does it generate default value to the password attribute in user form??
I have a random password generator in pre-insert, first i tried as below which didn't work later after updating it worked fine.
IF (password=null)
Generaterandampassword
SetPassword= Generaterandampassword
If i use adapter as above it not generating random password. i see that password as 'temp' to all the users.
I am thinking gtc generates a value to password filed even if we don't pass any value... am i right?? Please let me know..
Thanks..

SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

The radio button Service should not be visible.
Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
Kindly help out me ASAP.

The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
On the next line enter the default value within this range. At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D". This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record. You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

Default value updated
