Determining uniqueness in a multiple value attribute

Are matching rules used in determining whether or not two values in a multiple value attribute are duplicates?
I have an attribute with EQUALITY caseExactMatch as a matching rule, but I can't add two values like:
xxx/AAA
XXX/AAA
I would think that the matching rule would be applied and the two values would be determined to be unique.
If matching rules are not applied when values are added, why not?
Note: IBM corrected this problem in one of their releases.

Sorry for the late response. It looks like this is possible without using a matching rule. In DSCC, create an attribute with type IA5String.
$ ldapsearch -p 1111 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -b cn=schema -T cn=* | grep -wi csstring2
attributeTypes: ( csstring2-oid NAME 'csstring2' DESC 'ia5string' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
objectClasses: ( customoc-oid NAME 'customoc' DESC 'testing csstring and csstring2' SUP top STRUCTURAL MAY ( csstring2 $ csstring ) X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
$ ldapsearch -p 1111 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -b dc=sun,dc=com uid=a csstring2
version: 1
dn: uid=a,dc=sun,dc=com
csstring2: AAAA
csstring2: aaaa
csstring2: AAAA/qqqqqqqqq
csstring2: AAAA/qqqqqQqQq

Error: Set type Z contains multiple-value attributes

Hi forum,
I have a problem when i try to assign a set type with the same value but diferent name on another set type to the same product category.
This is the detail of the error but i dont know where i have to set this indicator:
If you set this indicator for a particular hierarchy, all categories and set types in this hierarchy are created in the PME.
This gives you the following extended maintenance options at category level:
You can assign set types with multiple-value attributes
You can restrict value ranges and maintain default values for attributes of customer set types.
Any sugerence about this?
Regards and thanks in advance,
Mon

Hi Nelson,
I create two set types, the description is not the problem. I have discover that when i try to assign these attributes in the same set type or in other appears this error.
The set types have the same values. For example:
zcountry1. Values: sp - spain. fr - france.
zcountry2. Values: sp - spain. fr - france.
When i try to configurate the comm_hierarchy in my category appears this error:
Set type zcountry2 contains multiple-value attributes.
Diagnosis
The set type ZGAME5 contains multiple-value attributes. It cannot be assigned to the category as extended maintenance has not been activated.
Procedure
Multiple-value attributes are stored in the PME. If you want to use the set type ZGAME5, you must set the Extended Maintenance Options indicator for the hierarchy.
Extended Maintenance Is Possible for the Hierarchy
Definition
If you set this indicator for a particular hierarchy, all categories and set types in this hierarchy are created in the PME.
This gives you the following extended maintenance options at category level:
You can assign set types with multiple-value attributes
You can restrict value ranges and maintain default values for attributes of customer set types.
Where is this indicator¿? in R3?
So, these are the steps...can anybody help to me?
Regards and thanks in advance.

How to map single context value attribute to multiple value attributes?

Hello,
is there any way to map a single value attribute
from view's context into several value attributes
in controller's context?
The business context of what I want to achieve
is the following: I have a view which can be called
in two modes: read only (RO) and read-write (RW).
The input parameters to the view are the same for
both modes, however when in RO mode, the view calls
a different set of web services than when called
in RW mode. Before calling each of the web services
I need to populate their context value attributes
with appropriate input values.
I know I can do it in Java code, but is it possible
to do it without any programming (doing it in the
source code is prone to errors)?
Any help highly appreciated.
Greetings,
Tomek.

Hi Kishore,
than you very much for your kind help.
I have already created a value attribute of type
boolean and mapped it into the read-only property
of the UI elements. This however does not solve all
of the problems... I will describe it with an
example:
Let's say the form I want to implement will be
used to: create (read-write mode), update (read-
write mode) or show (read-only mode) customer's
data. The customer's data is complex (lots of
data, including tree structures).
The problem is that:
- when the form is called in read-only mode,
it should populate its fields with values
provided by the getCustomerData web service,
- when the form is called to create a new
customer (in read-write) mode, it should
not use the getCustomerData web service.
Instead it should map the input values
entered by the user into input parameters
of the createNewCustomer web service,
- when the form is called to update customer's
data, it should first display values returned
by the getCustomerData web service, and then
it should map the modified values entered by
the user into input parameters of the
updateCustomer web service,
In all the above cases I must map my view's
context data to different controller's context
elements. Doing it directly in the source code
is not a nice solution. Is there any other
way to achieve this?
Calling a form in different modes in not an
unusual thing, so I was hoping that maybe
there are any built-in mechanisms that would
solve the obove problem...
Greetings,
Tomek.

Implementing a varchar multi-valued attribute for my customer table

I usually used to implement numerical multiple value attributes for my customers, such as phone number by having a separate table, as below:-
•     >>Desc customer (PK)
Customer_ID
Customer_Fname
•     >>Desc Customer_Phone
Customer_ID
Phone_number
Phone_Type
Where both PK (Customer_ID & Phone_number)
But now i want to have a varchar multiple value attribute called preferences (such as reading, shopping, swimming, etc)
So here should i design my Customer_Favorite as
Desc customer_favourite Favourite_desc
Cusomet_ID (FK)
Having PK (Favourite_desc & Cusomet_ID)
Or
Desc customer_favourite
Favorite_ID
Favourite_desc
Cusomet_ID
Having Favourite_ID as PK, TO AVOID HAVING A VARCHAR FIELD IN MY pk as in the first approach.
Thanks

Multiple values in attribute BSA - 'Doc. Type in R3 system'

Dear Experts,
We use SRM7.0 with classic scenario.
We want to define different follow on document for each product group.
- We defined in "Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Order)":
For category ID 1000 u2013 Always Purchase Requisition
For category ID 2000 u2013 PO if item data complete
- We also defined in org. management attributes (BSA) two kinds of 'Doc. Type in R3 system' u2013 one for PO and one for PR.
But we got error message.
If I define only 'Doc. Type in R3 system' for PO u2013 the system creates PO correctly.
If I define only 'Doc. Type in R3 system' for PR u2013 the system creates PR correctly.
If I define the two 'Doc. Type in R3 system' - we get error message.
Does it means that attribute 'Doc. Type in R3 system' cannot have multiple values ?
Thanks !
Lori

Hello Lori,
Please have a look at wiki below:

How to set multiple values in one context-attribute

Hi all,
Anybody knows a possibility to set multiple Values to a context-attribute?
I know it how to get it with the following code:
String break[]= request.getParameterValues("break");
Now I want to do something like:
request.setParameterValues(break[no]);
where no is a counter in a loop.
With the Method setAttribute(), I overwrite the previous inserted value.
Thanx
Robert

I have not explizit declared break as an array.
It is the Context- Attribute I want to send. I thaught that I can use it as an array in the same way I can do it when I send Data from an HTML- Form (with multiple values) to an servlet.
I don't know how to declare the Attribute explizit as an array.
that it is you wanted to know?
I think my main problem is to get an array from the servlet to the jsp. Is there an other possibility (other than via Context-Attributes) to do that?
thanx
robert

ORA-35563: Multiple values exist for an attribute of this dimension member

After following the tutorial Building OLAP Cubes I was trying to make a cube with aggregation down to the day instead of down to the month.
I created a times table pretty similar to the one used in the tutorial:
CREATE TABLE EVENT_TIMES (
        HOUR_KEY        DATE NOT NULL,
        DAY_ID          VARCHAR2(10),
        DAY_NAME        VARCHAR2(10),
        DAY_END_DATE    DATE,
        DAY_TIME_SPAN   NUMBER,
        MONTH_ID        VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL,
        MONTH_NAME      VARCHAR2(40),
        MONTH_END_DATE DATE,
        MONTH_TIME_SPAN NUMBER,
        YEAR_ID         VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL,
        YEAR_NAME       VARCHAR2(40),
        YEAR_END_DATE   DATE,
        YEAR_TIME_SPAN NUMBER
As you can see, instead of a DAY_KEY like in the tutorial, I now use an HOUR_KEY.
This is a sample of the data I inserted in this table:
select to_char(hour_key,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'),DAY_ID,DAY_NAME,DAY_END_DATE,DAY_TIME_SPAN,MONTH_ID,MONTH_NAME,MONTH_END_DATE,MONTH_TIME_SPAN,YEAR_ID,YEAR_NAME,YEAR_END_DATE,YEAR_TIME_SPAN from event_times;
TO_CHAR(HOUR_KEY,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') DAY_ID     DAY_NAME   DAY_END_DATE DAY_TIME_SPAN MONTH_ID                       MONTH_NAME                               MONTH_END_DATE MONTH_TIME_SPAN YEAR_ID                        YEAR_NAME                                YEAR_END_DATE YEAR_TIME_SPAN
20140104050000                       Y2014M1D4 Y2014M1D4 04-JAN-14                1 Y2014M1                        Y2014M1                                  31-JAN-14                   31 Y2014                          Y2014                                    31-DEC-14                365
20140104060000                       Y2014M1D4 Y2014M1D4 04-JAN-14                1 Y2014M1                        Y2014M1                                  31-JAN-14                   31 Y2014                          Y2014                                    31-DEC-14                365
I then created my TIME dimension with DAY as the lowest level.
When I try the maintain cube option it fails at the 'LOAD NO SYNCH' step with the rejected records having an error message that says:
ORA-35563: (XSRWLD17) Multiple values exist for an attribute of this dimension member.
To me, this is a very cryptic message and the only explanation I find online is:
Cause
Multiple source table rows containing different values for a dimension attribute were found. Only the first of the multiple rows has been loaded.
Action
Fix the mapping or remove the rows with conflicting attribute values..
This confuses me. In the tutorial the lowest level was day and the TIMES table contained 1 record for each day.
In my example, the lowest level is hour and the TIMES table contains 1 record for each hour.
Which attribute has multiple values? And which values?
The rejected records (101) are not very clear:
ALIAS_1 = 'MONTH_Y2014M1' AND ALIAS_3 = to_date('31JAN14') AND ALIAS_4 = 31 AND ALIAS_5 = 'Y2014M1' AND ALIAS_6 = 'Y2014M1' AND ALIAS_7 = 'YEAR_Y2014'
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen this recently. The issue is with the dimension load itself. You have a hour level record table but the rules relating to hierarchy/attribute values etc are checked/reinforced during the load and this error comes up sometimes.
I would guess that the issue seems to be with your month level information present in the higher level month columns. There are many records corresponding to a single month in ur case, month of Y2014M1. Information relating to Month level member Jan 2014 or member MONTH_Y2014M1 is present in these records: 31 (days) *24 (hours) = 744 records. The data in these 744 records for columns - MONTH_ID, MONTH_NAME, MONTH_END_DATE, MONTH_TIME_SPAN need to be exactly the same in order for the single member MONTH_Y2014M1 to have month attributes loaded with valid values.
For e.g: if records #1 to #743 contain month_timespan=31 but for some unknown reason record #744 contains month_timespan=30 then this error will come up. OLAP does not know which value to load (31 or 30), and only 1 value can be loaded onto the month level member corresponding to month Y2014M1.
A quick check of the data should give you the answer. Typically there may be some mistake/invalid assumptions made with the boundary records (in your case, check for values for records corresponding to hour=0 or hour=23/24) which is causing the issue.

Storing Multiple Values in Workflow Attribute

Hi,
I got the requirement where i want to store multiple values into Workflow Attribute. Is there any way to accomplish this.
Thanks
J

Hi,
Do you mean multiple different values in the same attribute at the same time?
If not, then yes - this is standard functionality. Just use the appropriate API to set the new value whenever it changes.
If yes, then possibly, but that would be exceptionally bad design. If you want to store different concurrent values in the same attribute, then the only type this would work for would be a text attribute, and you would need to include a delimiter between the values so that they can be stored. Then, whenever you need one of the values, you need to split the attribute according to the position of the delimiters.
I have no idea when you would have a requirement to store multiple values in the same attribute at the same time - as I said, it is exceptionally bad design, so I'm going to hope that you just mean to hold different values at different times.
If you meant you want to store multiple values into multiple attributes at the same time, then there are also APIs that can be used to accomplish that. I would not recommend using them, as it makes it harder in the long term to maintain and support the application - having multiple calls is no slower, but makes the code easier to read and understand.
HTH,

Multiple values of attributes for Transaction type Bid in the Org Plan

Hello All,
I need to have Multiple transaction types for the Object Bid Invitation in the Org Plan.
As the system is allowing only a single value,I tried maintaining the Table T77OMATTR by setting the attribute 'Tend_type' to take multiple values, but the whole attribute is set to not modifiable!
I am not sure whether I am doing the right thing
Can anybody advise on this please?
Regards,
Nagarajan

Hi
different transactions types, which can be selected in the transaction, are defined in SPRO via
IMG/Supplier Relationship Management/SRM Server/Cross-Application Settings/Define Transaction Types. There you can create new ones as well activate/deactivate transaction types.
The follow on document, PO or Contract, is defined per transaction type there as well.
When you want to influence the transaction type used from Sourcing Cockpit when clicking on "Bid Invitation", this can be accomplished via BADI only in SRM 5.0. Check the BADI section - don't know it by heart.

Claudia

How shall we do validation for Unique Key and Multiple Primary Key?

Hi,
I have table created From EO in which one column is checked as Unique.
How to do validation for column checked as Unique.
I know how to do validation for column checked as primary key.
Below is sample code for primary key validation
if (getRvSize() != null)
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,
getEntityDef().getFullName(), // EO name
getPrimaryKey(), // EO PK
"RvSize", // Attribute Name
value, // Attribute value
"AK", // Message product short name
"FWK_TBX_T_EMP_ID_NO_UPDATE"); // Message name
if (value != null)
OADBTransaction transaction = getOADBTransaction();
Object[] rvKey = {value};
EntityDefImpl rvDefinition = xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl rv =
(xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl)rvDefinition.findByPrimaryKey(transaction, new Key(rvKey));
if (rv != null)
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,
getEntityDef().getFullName(), // EO name
getPrimaryKey(), // EO PK
"RvSize", // Attribute Name
value, // Attribute value
"AK", // Message product short name
"FWK_TBX_T_EMP_ID_UNIQUE"); // Message name
What changes need to be done for above code in order to do the validation for Unique Key.
I have one more Question
How shall we do the Validation for Multiple Primary Key in a table?
- Mithun

1. If you just validate on one attribute like your unique key, then put your logic in the set<Your AttributeName) method
2. If you want to do the cross validation ( like validating multiple attributes) then put your logic in the validateEntrity Method
How to do that?
1. Create a Validation View object.
2. Associate your VVO to the VAM
3. Create entity expert.
4. Have method in entity expert for your validation (you would be calling AM and then VO execute the query and do the validation.
5. You would be calling the Entity experty method from your EO either setMethods or validateEntity.
I have given just the high level points.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Document library view: Group by a column with multiple values

I have a document library which has a managed metadata column.
I would like to create a view which groups the documents by this managed metadata column.
The managed metadata column can have multiple values.
I know that this is not possible with SharePoint's group by, since it only accepts those columns which can have only one single value.
But is this possible to accomplish by some other means, e.g. Content query web part? Or is there perhaps a 3rd party solution to this?
Is it possible to change the group by settings somehow to allow Group by to function with columns with multiple values? <- this may be far fetched...

Hi Pekch,
I'm assuming you have VS2010 to build the custom web part. From there you will need to figure out the following:
Get a SPList object for the Document Library (See below for code example)
Loop through all the documents in the SPList object
If you have audience targetting enabled, then you'll need to determine if the user has access to the document by checking the "Target_x0020_Audiences" column)
As you also want to group by metadata, you'll need to populate 2 datatables (one table with a column containing unique metadata values and another table with a metadata column and other document related columns). Link these two tables via a dataset
relation.
Set the dataset as the datasource for a repeater, add in some css and javascript for the group expand/collaspe and it should be close to what you need.
This will be a time consuming task if you don't know where to start or have problems figuring out how to perform a certain operation. So you may want to determine if the functionality you want is required or just a "nice to have". Good
luck and if I have some spare time, I'll create a blog post outlining how to do all the above.
I got the below code from a sharepoint blog sometime in the past and you can use it to retrieve a list.
You can use it like this: GetListByUrl(http://servername/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx)
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
public SPList GetListByUrl(string listURL)
SPList list = null;
try
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(listURL))
if (site != null)
// Strip off the site url, leaving the rest
// We'll use this to open the web
string webUrl = listURL.Substring(site.Url.Length);
// Strip off anything after /forms/
int formsPos = webUrl.IndexOf("/forms/", 0, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
if (formsPos >= 0)
webUrl = webUrl.Substring(0, webUrl.LastIndexOf('/', formsPos));
// Strip off anything after /lists/
int listPos = webUrl.IndexOf("/lists/", 0, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
if (listPos >= 0)
// Must be a custom list
// Strip off anything after /lists/
webUrl = webUrl.Substring(0, webUrl.LastIndexOf('/', listPos));
else
// No lists, must be a document library.
// Strip off the document library name
webUrl = webUrl.Substring(0, webUrl.LastIndexOf('/'));
// Get the web site
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(webUrl))
if (web != null)
// Initialize the web (avoids COM exceptions)
string title = web.Title;
// Strip off the relative list Url
// Form the full path to the list
//string relativelistURL = listURL.Substring(web.Url.Length);
//string url = SPUrlUtility.CombineUrl(web.Url, relativelistURL);
// Get the list
list = web.GetList(listURL);
catch { }
return list;

How do you set multiple values in "Internal-Properties" in XSLT

Hi All,
I'm running SOA 11g with the Oracle B2B Adapter.
I have a need to dynamically set the InterchangeReceiverID, InterchangeSenderID, GroupSenderID, and GroupReceiverID from within SOA prior to passing the xml to the B2B Adapter. When using the Transform Activity, I don't understand how to set multiple values at the Interchange/Group levels. I am able to set ONE value at each level using the structure below, but have not been able to determine the proper way to set more than one value at each level.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Anuj,
Thanks for taking time to consider this. I think I did not explain my problem clearly. I'm not trying to assign more than one value to any one property. My issue is that I cannot figure out the proper syntax within the XSLT to assign a value to more than one property at the Interchange level. For instance, do you have an example of how I would assign one value to the InterchangeSenderID and another value to the InterchangeReceiverID? Constant values (rather than dynamic ones) would be fine for an example. Thanks again for your time.
thanks,
bw

How to get multiple values from the list

I've a list of an item which I queried it from the database. I also created a button that will takes a selected items from the list when it was clicked. I used javabean to get the data from database.
<%     // clicked on Select District Button
Vector vselectedDistrict = new Vector();
Vector vdistrictID = new Vector();
String tmpSelectDistrict = "";
tmpSelectDistrict = request.getParameter("bSelectDistrict");
if(tmpSelectDistrict != null)
     // get multiple values from the list
     String[] selectedDistrict = request.getParameterValues("usrTDistrict");
     vselectedDistrict.clear();
     vdistrictID.clear();
     if((selectedDistrict != null) && (selectedDistrict.length != 0))
                       for(int i=0;i<selectedDistrict.length;i++)
               vselectedDistrict.addElement(selectedDistrict);
          vdistrictID = dbaseInfo.getcurrentDistrictID(nstate,vselectedDistrict);
          for(int i=0;i<vdistrictID.size();i++)
               out.println("district = " + selectedDistrict[i]);                         out.println("district ID= " + vdistrictID.get(i).toString());
%>
// get vdistrict from the database here......
<select name="usrTDistrict" size="5" multiple>
<%     for(int i = 0; i< vdistrict.size(); i++)
%>
     <option value="<%=vdistrict.get(i).toString()%>"><%=vdistrict.get(i).toString()%></option>
<%
%>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="bSelectDistrict" value="Select District">
Lets say the item that i selected from the list is 'Xplace' and I clicked on the Select District button,
what I got is this error message:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to convert string 'Xplace' to class java.util.Vector for attribute usrTDistrict: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager
So where is going wrong and what the message means?. Any help very much appreciated. Thanks

These are just guesses that might hopefully steer you in directions you haven't looked in yet.
I presume you used triangle brackets (< >) to avoid having the Jive Forum think it was the "italics" tag?
Are you certain this: dbaseInfo.getcurrentDistrictID(nstate,vselectedDistrict);
expects a Vector as its second parameter? And returns a Vector?
I don't believe you've shown how you use the javabean, or its code? Perhaps it should be rewritten to accept an array of strings instead of a Vector?

How to use Ajax Get Multiple Values in Tabular form?

Hi All-
I am trying to use AJAX to get multiple values in tabular form by using Denes Kubicek's example in the following link -
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:239:9172467565606::NO:::
Basically, I want to use the drop down list to populate rest of the values on the form.
I have created the example(Ajax Get Multiple Values, application 54522) on Oracle site -
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1:0:::::
Workspace: iConnect
login: demo
password: demo
I was able to duplicate his example on page 1 (home page).
However, I want to use system generate tabular form to finish this example, and was not able to populate the data correctly.
Page 2 (method 2) is the one that I am having trouble to populate the column values. When I checked application item values in Session, and the values seems to be populated correctly.
This is what I have done on this page:
1. Create an Application Process On Demand - Set_Multi_Items_Tabular2:
DECLARE
v_subject my_book_store.subject%TYPE;
v_price my_book_store.price%TYPE;
v_author my_book_store.author%TYPE;
v_qty NUMBER;
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT subject, price, author, 1 qty
FROM my_book_store
WHERE book_id = :temporary_application_item2;
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_subject := c.subject;
v_price := c.price;
v_author := c.author;
v_qty := c.qty;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_subject || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_price || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f06_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_author || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f07_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_qty || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;
2. Create two application items - TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2, T_ROWNUM2
3. Put the following in the Page Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_set_multi_items_tabular2(pValue, pRow){
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular2',0);
if(pValue){
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2',pValue)
get.add('T_ROWNUM2',pRow)
}else{
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2','null')
    gReturn = get.get('XML');
    if(gReturn){
        var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
        for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
            var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item")[i];
            var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
            var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
            if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
                var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
            }else{
                var l_Value = '';
            if(l_El){
                if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
                    l_El.value = l_Value;
                }else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
                    l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
                    l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
                }else{
                    l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
    get = null;
</script>
Add the follwing to the end of the above JavaScript:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setLOV(filter, list2)
var s = filter.id;
var item = s.substring(3,8);
var field2 = list2 + item;
f_set_multi_items_tabular2(filter, field2);
4. Tabular form query:
select
"BOOK_ID",
"BOOK",
"SUBJECT",
"PRICE",
"AUTHOR",
"QTY",
"BOOK_ID" BOOK_ID_DISPLAY
from "#OWNER#"."MY_BOOK_STORE"
5. In Book_ID_DISPLAY column attribute:
Add the following code to element attributes: onchange="javascript:f_set_multi_items_tabular2(this.value,'#ROWNUM#');"
Changed to -> onchange="javascript:setLOV(this,'f03');"
Now, T_ROWNUM2 returns value as f03_0001. But, TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2 returns as [object HTMLSelectElement]...
Please help me to see how I can populate the data with this tabular form format. Thanks a lot in advanced!!!

Updated code in Red..

Lets start with looking at what the javascript code is doing.
function f_set_multi_items_tabular(pValue, pRow){
/*This will initiate the url for the demand process to run*/
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
                          'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular',0);
if(pValue){
    /*If there is an value than submit item name with value*/
    get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM',pValue)
    get.add('T_ROWNUM',pRow)
}else{
    /*Else set the item TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM to null*/
    get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM','null')
/*Submit the url and te returned document is of type XML*/
gReturn = get.get('XML');
if(gReturn){
    /*There is something returned*/
    var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
    /*For all elements of the tag item*/
    for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
      /*Get the item out of the XML*/
      var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item")[i];
      /*Get the id of the item*/
      var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
      /*Get the element in the original page with the same id as
      **the item we have in the XML produced by the ondemand process
      var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
      /*Now get the value of the item form the XML*/
      if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
        var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
      }else{
        /*There is no value*/
        var l_Value = '';
      if(l_El){
        /*There is an element with the same id as the item we are processing*/
        if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
          /*The element is an input item just set the value*/
          l_El.value = l_Value;
        }else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
          /*If it is a span elment and has the class grabber
          **Then set the innerHTML of the parent to the value
          **and the id of the parent to the id
          l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
          l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
        }else{
          /*Else set the value as innerHTML*/
          l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
get = null;
Now where it went wrong in your initial post
The XML that was returned by your XML process would be something like
<body>
<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>
<item id="f02_1">CSS Mastery</item>
<item id="f03_1">22</item>
<item id="f04_1">Andy Budd</item>
<item id="f05_1">1</item>
</body>
When you don't use apex_item to create your tabular form a item in the table will look like
<input id="f02_0001" type="text" value="CSS Mastery" maxlength="2000" size="16" name="f05" autocomplete="off">
Notice the id's f02_1 and f02_0001 don't match.
So to make it work the XML would have to look like
<body>
<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>
<item id="f02_0001">CSS Mastery</item>
<item id="f03_0001">22</item>
<item id="f04_0001">Andy Budd</item>
<item id="f05_0001">1</item>
</body>
To do that simply use lpad in the ondemand process like
HTP.prn ('<item id="f02_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_subject || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f03_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_price || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_author || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_qty || '</item>');
Keep in mind that the above is based on your original post and #ROWNUM# not being lpadded with zero's.
