Unable to default DFF segment based on selection of other field value.

Hi Gurus,
*I have a requirement on 'Create Work Request' page (Oracle EAM), where during creating complaint, when user selects Asset Number, based on this selection, a DFF enabled to capture Tenant Info must be populated. [For testing now, I'm writing my code in PR and not in PFR to populate some thing while page loads.]*
I have extended my CO and tried many ways (from simple to little complex) but to no success.
Simpler way:
*=======*
OAApplicationModule am = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("RequestDetailsVO");
Row row = vo.first();
row.setAttribute("Attribute1","Attribute1"); //Attribute1 is the View attribute in above VO. But this doesn't work.
row.setAttribute("DepartmentCode","CRC MAINT"); //DepartmentCode is a view attribute as well. And this works.
This code doesn't work.
Understanding that, DFF segments can't be set as simple bean, I have done below:
*===================================================*
OADescriptiveFlexBean oadescriptiveflexbean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("WorkRequestDesc");//("WorkRequestDFF_p13n");
oadescriptiveflexbean.processFlex(oapagecontext);
if (oadescriptiveflexbean != null){
ContextMap contextmap = oadescriptiveflexbean.getNamedChildMap();
if(contextmap != null){
Enumeration enumeration = contextmap.keys(oapagecontext.getRenderingContext());
if(enumeration != null){
do
if(!enumeration.hasMoreElements())
break;
Object obj = enumeration.nextElement();
OAWebBean oawebbean1 = (OAWebBean)contextmap.get(oapagecontext.getRenderingContext(), obj);
oapagecontext.getParameter("WorkRequestDesc1")
//String str = (String)oapagecontext.getNamedDataObject("WorkRequestDesc1")
if(oawebbean1 != null)
if(oawebbean1 instanceof OAMessageTextInputBean)
OAMessageTextInputBean oamessagetextinputbean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean1;//.findIndexedChildRecursive("WorkRequestDesc1__xc_");
//oamessagetextinputbean.setReadOnly(true);
oamessagetextinputbean.setText("Jawad");
} while(true);
Now the issue with above code is, during the page load, all the segments are populated with value 'Jawad'. I want to populate only the first segment.
More info:
*======*
VO: RequestDetailsVO
DFF Regions ID: WorkRequestDesc
Attribute1 (DFF segment1) ID: WorkRequestDesc1
Appreciate your responses,
Jawad

Dear Guys,
I found out a workaround for this case (If this helps others): :)
*1. Create a Message Text Input type field (representing each DFF segment) and map them to View Attribute (over which DFF was created) and VO instance.*
*2. In the extended CO, in PFR, get the handle of these created fields.*
*3. Set the values as required.*
Since these fields are mapped onto the same view attributes as DFF was, the data goes in fine.
But I still am hunting for the possibility of setting a single segment.
Thanks and Regards,
Jawad

A Field need to be Freezed based on DFF Segment field.

Hi,
I have 4 DFF Segments on a page.
And the 1st segment is having many values including "Others" in its LOV.
The second segment (Field) is only for "Others". if some one will select "Others" from the 1st segment in that case second segment (field) should be enabled else it should be freezed.
This can be handled if it's not a DFF. Any one has faced such kind of issue.
Please suggest what can be done in this scenario.
Thanks
Bachan.

hi
can u please elaborate your requirement in a detailed manner ,if you want to freeze a DFF field on the basis of the value of other field then it is not possiblle after page rendering ,but yes if u want to do the same at time of page rendering then it is possible .
thanx

Disable updating of DFF segment in PO form using Form Personlization

Hi All,
I have to make a dff segment in PO form non-updatable after the PO number has been generated.
I tried to do form personalisation of item PO_HEADERS.ATTRIBUTE2 making its property(update_allowed) as false.
But when I test the form, I get an error cannot set attribute of a null canvas item.
How can I make DFF segment disabled after PO Number is generated in Form
Regards
Prajesh

One approach you can try is using the custom.pll.
You can write code that makes the attribute non-updatable if the po_num is not null.
If that does not work, you can consider writing a before-update database trigger on po_headers.
In the trigger, if :old.attribute1 != :new.attribute1, then you can raise an error.
Typically, I avoid writing database triggers but if you must, this could help you achieve it.
Hope this helps,

How to enable the DFF segment in Forms

Hello everyone,
I want to enable the DFF segment i.e. Attribute12 when schedule_ship_date get changed. Means if schedule_ship_date changes then with reason we want to store it. In DFF segment we want to store the reason.
The record should not save if the date changed and reason not entered.
Please can you tell me the steps how i can enable the DFF segment in Oracle forms or how i can do it mandatory if date changes.
Thanks

JAK,
Please post your question in the E-Bus Suite forum. This forum is dedicated to non E-Bus Suite Forms development. Also, you might want to include the what version of EBS you are in when you make your post. More than likely, you will need to code for this event in the Custom Library (CUSTOM.PLL), but you might be able to do this with Forms Personalization - if you are on 11.5.10 or higher. The folks in the EBS forum will be able to tell you for certain which method to use.

How to enable some DFF segments on AR Trx form for specific context only

I have a requirement to enable 3 of many DFF segments on AR Transactions line DFF for particular context only. I am not able to figure out how to achieve it.
When we query for an Invoice and navigate to lines DFF I want these fields to be allowed to update. Currently they appear as read-only. These are interface line attributes used across many different contexts but I need them as update allowed only for few contexts.
I went through different forum topics and was trying to use security rules but these segments do not have the security enabled flag checked under DFF segments and when I try to check it it throws an error as to update not allowed.
Form personalization doesn't work on DFF, so that is out too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Shivang

Hi,
My requirement is a little different. We already have context and reference setup when we implemented Oracle 3 yrs back but what I need is to enable few segments / attributes inside a context that too when the invoice is queried for not when it is being created manually. The same attributes are being used by different contexts but I need to enable only for a few and not all contexts.
Appreciate if you are able to help on this.
Thanks.

How to make a DFF segment mandatory only in one page?

Hi All,
We have added a DFF in 2-3 pages. One of the segments in that DFF should be made mandatory only for one particular page. Is there any way to make it mandatory via personalization?
I can't make it mandatory in DFF settings as it will make the field mandatory in all pages where the DFF is used.
I m aware that I can extend the controller and check wehther the value has been entered or not. But does anyone have idea whether this can be achieved without any customization?
Regards,
Pradeep

We can achieve this requirement using Java script but this script is fired for every event in the page. You need to carefully choose the event(i.e. when the script should be fired).
Sample code:
1. create a rawText item
2. .in text property of the rawtext item use below sample code
<SCRIPT>if (document.getElementById("DFFFlex0").value != null) {alert('This field is required');} </SCRIPT>
// here DFFFlex0 is the ID of the specific DFF segment-Anand

Unreleashed segment issue with SAP schema

Hi All,
We are trying to generate SAP schema in BizTalk 2010 and facing unreleased segment issue and discussed with SAP team whom suggested below ways. We were interacted with MSFT and no hotfix yet. Please guide me.
The provider/external should call IDOCTYPE_READ_COMPLETE in the following way:
- PI_RELEASE = ' ' => last existing segment version is returned
- PI_RELEASE not available in the interface => last released version
Which means: BizTalk needs to ensure the PI_RELEASE is not present in the call of the interface. This will allow pulling the last release version of the IDoc including not released segments.
Thanks, Raja MCTS BizTalk Server 2010, MCC If this answers your question please mark it accordingly

BizTalk does not support unreleased segments for Receive Operations.
As far as I know SAP 'locks' the segment types that have not been released and the LOB adapter of BizTalk cannot properly read those segments.
The SAP team should set a release on the IDOC types and segments you need.

How to derive DFF segment id programatically, attached to OAF page

Hi Guru's
I am facing below challenges in handling the segments of DFF which is attached to OAF page.
As per the requirement, we need to do the changes on the segments of DFF(Party Information). But segments of these DFF are different for each attribute category in DFF.
I can get the segment id by seeing the View Source of that page where DFF is attached but this id differs when sequence of DFF segments differs.
for ex.:- for Attribute Category Comany segments sequece are-
1) Acounting
2) Sub Accounting
so for this attribute category Accounting segment id will be 01 and Sub Accounting segment id will be 02
but for Attribute Category Agency segment sequece are-
1) Sub Accounting
2) Accounting
so for this attribute category segment id will 01 for Sub Accounting and 02 for Accounting.
So we need the approach to derive the segment id instead of getting it from View Source page.
Can any one please help on this?
Please reply incase you require more details on it..

DFF Segments not appearing

Hi
I have added a couple of segments to the Job Attributes and deployed it successfully. However when I go back to the Manage Job screen I cannot see the two segments that I have created. I am assuming after deploying the DFF the segments should be shown automatically when I go to the Job Creation page. Any idea why or how I can show the DFF segments
Thanks

Hi Pavan,
I shall check this now and let you know.

Disable DFF segments based on Responsibility

Is it possible to disable certain segments of the DFF based on the Responsibility through which they are accessed?
Suppose I have a DFF on a OA Framework Page. Now the requirement is to have certain fields as readonly/disabled if the page has been accessed using some particular responsibility. I cannot do it through OA Framework as Personalizations would not have an impact on individual segments.
Any other suggestions are welcome
Regards
Sumit

Sumit,
You can do that using the security rules like we do for any of the flexfields. Just make to sure to enable the security for the DFF segment and value set if you have any.
