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.

Default values for files and columns when adding a discoverer porlet

Hi, i'd like to know how to configure the default value for numbers of columns and files when i add a new discoverer porlet in a portal page.
The actual default value is 10 files and 6 columns and i always have to increase it to at least 100x100.
Is there any config file where i can change that?
I've found a configuration.xml in $ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/config/configuration.xml
with a section

but couldnt find a parameter for those items.
Thanks in advance.

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.

One item used for insert and update

I'm still trying to learn APEX and need to understand how to use an item for both update and insert. Is the LOV part used for the insert and the SOURCE for the update? I have a WHERE clause I need to use for the insert but not the update. I have to display items when updating that would not show up in the insert b/c only active things should be in the insert whereas the update can contain retired values. Also one such item needs to display its value but hold on to it's ID. Also, I am displaying items from more than one table so I'm not sure if I can say it's a Database Column. AS you can see, I'm really confused and the doc doesn't usually explain these details and is not helping me. Can someone explain how to set up such items? Thank you!

I do actually have things working (I do have insert, update and delete processes) since I copied from another app, but there are some details that are not working well. For example, I have a linked field that pulls up a record (row fetch) and 2 of the fields do not pull up the values for that row (it's a select list and that's there but it doesn't highlight the correct value). For one of them, when inserting, the LOV (I think) should only show the active values but then, when the row is fetched, it needs to show a value from the table even if it's no longer active. I'm missing something and don't know what it is.

Tax codes - can you set up default value for rows and freight? HELP!

Hello - I have two issues with tax codes:
1. When adding a sales order if any of the rows do not have a value for "Tax Code" I will get an error "Row without tax was found".
- How can I get all rows on my sales orders, documents, etc to default to a specific tax code? Or will users ALWAYS have to enter the tax code?
2. When addring a sales order with Freight, if the order is added without adding a tax code to the freight I will get an error "Expense with tax was found"
- How can I get the tax code have a default value? We always use the same tax code, so it is redundant to have to enter this information.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jhon,
this is the simplest and best way to make a Tax Code default is Go to
Answer for Question 1
Administration -> Setup -> Financial -> Tax -> Tax Code Determination (Click on this)
in that screen you can set a default tax code for both sales as well as Purchase.
If you want to set Tax Code based on Vendors or Customers or Items separately then you can use the Key Fields.
Answer for Question 2
Once you enter the Tax Code in the freight i think it takes the Tax Code itself, I'm not so sure about this one though.
Hope this helps you out

CRMD_ORDER: how to set default values for Requester and Change Manager

Hello Folks,
how do I set default values in TA crmd_order?
I drew my organizational hierarchy using TAs bp and ppoma_crm.
When a new Change Request (e. g. SDHF) is created, I want the four roles (Requester, Change Manager, IT Operator and Developer) to be set automatically, not manually.
Both Requester (= Key User) and Change Manager are derivable. I did not find anything in SPRO neither in the OSS neither here.
Points will be rewarded as a matter of course!
Thanx in advance!

Hi Dirk,
look for Define Access Sequence & Define Partner Determination Procedure in SPRO and read the IMG Activity Documentation. You can find it in the Service Desk config, but it works for the other transaction types too.
Basically, you create Access Sequences where you tell the Partner Determination Procedure where to look for the values for the Partner Function fields.
The Access Sequence can use lots of sources for the information, including your org structure.

Set default values for StartMonth and EndMonth Parameter based on value selected from the previous parameter(Not cascading)

I have a scenario where it has multiple parameters like.....
Period which consists of "Year,Quarter,Month" as a values.
When user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then "FromMonth" has to set its default value as 36th month from now.
Example: If user selects "Year" then "FromMonth" has to show "April-11".
When user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then "EndMonth" has to set its default value as current month.
Example: If user selects "Year" then "FromMonth" has to show "March-14".
If user selects "Month" Value in "Period" Parameter then it has to allow user to select the Month Range and again if user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then StartMonth has to show 36th month from now and
End Month has to show current month.
Please help me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vasu_479,
First, you need to create a dataset to set the StartDate and EndDate parameter's value using the query provided by Visakh. And then use the StartDate and EndDate parameter to filter the data in MDX query. Here is a sample query for your reference.
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@StartDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@EndDate+"]")
) on columns
from [Adventure Works]
Hope this helps.

DEFAULT values for OUT and IN/OUT parameters in PL/SQL

Why are OUT and IN OUT parameters not allowed to have DEFAULT values assigned to them? Or is there a way around this?
thank u

For IN parameters this makes sense. For OUT parameters... hm... when you don't get anything out you also don't need a default value. I think the cases where you want to overload can't be compared with default values.
For IN a default value would be like:
If I don't add this parameter it should use 'DEFAULT' as INPUT value.
For an out parameter:
If I don't use a variable for this parameter the output value should be 'DEFAULT'.
and written into nirvana? it does not make sense to say I output something but I don't output something.

You might be better off combining into your attack the use of user_dependencies. This will tell you what objects e.g., code is dependent on your table and then you can search the source of those modules for inserts and updates into the table. Even then you'll never be sure, especially if dynamic SQL is used as the statement may be pieced together from various bits if strings, as then user_dependencies won't contain the reference.

Set default value for parameter fields

Good day!
Situation:
1. I have 2 parameter fields in reports (dateFrom and dateTo)
2. Before running report in ASP.NET I change value this fields (dateTo = today, dateFrom = today - 3 days)
3.I use for this source:
foreach (ParameterField crParam in CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
                        CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter crParametr = new CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter();
                        string ParametrName = crParam.Name;
                        crParametr.Name = ParametrName;
                          crParametr.DefaultValue = ActionReportParameter.GetParametrValue(ReportName, ParametrName);
                         CrystalReportSource1.Report.Parameters.Add(crParametr);
4. And repurt run without request value parameter fields.
5. BUT!!! now I need request value parameter fields before report start running - I want set default values for filelds and offer user change its before report start run.
How do this?
Thanks

I believe you need to create your own parameter promt screen. Capture what the user entered and pass that to the report(?).

Import and default values for columns

Hi guys
I have a table in which there are default values for some columns. I take export of this table.
I go to another database where this table structure is already there (but default values are not set). I run the import of table with ignore=Y. It does all...import the data...create the indexes and all...but doesn't set the default values for the columns.
Shouldn't it do that also ? ignore=Y means that ignore the object creation errors and proceed with the rest of the stuff ? Or there is some problem in my understanding ?
Version 10gR2 on AIX 5.3 and using traditional export/import.
Thanks

ALV Grid default values for new rows added with Add/Insert buttons

How to set a default value for a drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value in Infopath 2010.

Hello Everyone
I have two drop downs. Both are coming from look up fields from two lists. i want to set a default value(first list item) for the first drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value for the next drop down list box. I found one article(http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/display-first-item-drop-down-list-box-infopath-2010.htm)
where in i can set a default value but i can't apply cascading based on that default value. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Ramanjulu,
