DFF Validation

Is there an API I can call to validate DFF values before loading them into a Open Interface Table.

this is not possible
you must immediately correct errorful data

DFF validation - Looking for a function that validates a DFF

Hi,
I have found this code:
IF NOT fnd_flex_descval.validate_desccols (appl_short_name => p_application_short_name
, desc_flex_name => p_desc_flex_name
, resp_appl_id => p_resp_appl_id
, resp_id => p_resp_id
But I would like to find out which attributes are not valid.
I also have found this call:
SELECT application_column_name BULK COLLECT
INTO L_attributeTbl
FROM fnd_descr_flex_column_usages
WHERE descriptive_flexfield_name = p_desc_flex_name -- G_descFlexNameLines
AND descriptive_flex_context_code = p_desc_context -- PR_context
ORDER BY column_seq_num;
dbms_output.put_line('Attribute rejected: ' || L_attributeTbl(fnd_flex_descval.error_segment) );
l_error_message := fnd_flex_descval.error_message;
But the author of the message writes that it is unreliable.
Many thanks if you can help.

How to do validation on DFF ?

Hi,
I have 2 requiements on Employee Self-Service, create absence page:
1) Sponsor filed in Absence form should be made mandatory based on few conditions.
2) Child of Delivery field in Absence form should be made mandatory based on few conditions.
I have found that both of the fileds are coming from DFF, and not able to get handle over these fileds.
How can I make them render true and false based on the conditions?
Thnaks,
Ranita.

Hi,
Referring following code:
OADescriptiveFlexBean descFlexfieldsBean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("DescFlexfields");
if(descFlexfieldsBean != null){
UINode uinode = descFlexfieldsBean.getIndexedChild(pageContext.getRenderingContext(),0);
if(uinode != null){
flexStr = uinode.getID();
OAMessageTextInput ccc =(OAMessageTextInput)descFlexfieldsBean.findchildrecursive(flexStr );
if (ccc != null)
ccc.setRquired("yes");
Other workaround is :
1> for the particular condition --> check viewattribute of the dff item Sponsor is equal to null or not
if it is null then throw the error
Thanks,

How To-set DFF to null and Not required in OAF page ??

enabled service dff, added 2 segments. i want them displayed in service request oaf pages.
details of dff-
Application=Service , title = Additional Information for Agents
in context field region : unchecked required and displayed
In global data elements - added 2 segments based on value set(validation type = independent, list type = poplist)
displayed and enabled checkbox are checked for both the segments.
I want to be able to do two things
1.in HTML service request agentdashboard- the 2 new dffs are displayed correctly as drop down lists. I can pick and save a value to those mapped columns.
but the two drop downs are REQUIRED. I do not want them to be. how can I make them un-required.
--while personalizing this flexfield elemnt from oaf page - I did not have the attribute-required to be unset.
2. I want a default blank value in both the drop down list.
I tried to add a nullvalue in valueset ,but its not letting me. can i do that ??
any pointers please.
Thanks in advance

For your question
>
if I want to show one segment based on value of some other bean in the UI, then can I do it ? and how ?
>
If you do not want to extend controller then you need to use javascript. Sample code below
<SCRIPT>if (document.getElementById("QFEQHR_FV").value =='Class Room')
{document.getElementById("DescFlex2").style.visibility = "visible";}
else{document.getElementById("DescFlex2").style.visibility = "hidden";} </SCRIPT>Here "QFEQHR_FV" is any bean ID in your page and "DescFlex" is DFF flex item ID. To get handle of the required DFF attribute change numbers starting from '0' and test.
Sample code for testing
<SCRIPT>alert(document.getElementById("DescFlex0").value);</SCRIPT>You need to add this code to "Text" property of a "Raw Text" item.

How to add new validation for the iProcurement web page?

Hi,
I am very new to OA Framework. Can you experts give me some guidance on how to proceed with the following customization?
My requirement is in iprocurement when you open a new cart and check out on "ICX_POR_SHOPPING_CART" there is a Project Field and reference to Charge account. If the users go to charge account (ICX_POR_CHECKOUT_SUMMARY) and enter the segment values ( which includes project segment) and enters a value in project segment other than '000000' with out entering the Project Field on "ICX_POR_SHOPPING_CART" the page should give error.
Please give me some suggestions on how to proceed.
Thanks
Vish

I need the client side validation. By saying server side validation if you mean writing a triger on tables to validate then I am thinking to take that option as last resort.
Can you please tell me what is PPR ( Is it personalization?) stands for.? In my case the Charge Account is DFF.
Can you direct me to any documentation on how to add custom javascript to achieve my objective?.
Thanks for your Help.

HOW TO CREATE A DFF BASED ON ORGANIZATION

Hi,
I want to create a DFF which would have 5 different context values, i want 2 of them to be available in one organization and other 3 in other organization, how i can achieve this.
Regards,
Usman.

Hello,
"HOW TO CREATE A DFF BASED ON ORGANIZATION"
1- I will create a customized table having two columns one is for context name and other is for org_id,
2- then i will create a value set on this table and will use this on 'Value Set' field on 'Descriptive Flexfield Segments' window.
3- In the where clause of this value set i will pass org_id from profile $PROFILES$.ORG_ID,
4- this will restrict the context based on org_id And user will only have context related to there org
I have successfully achieved the above requirment.
Find below the restriction you should follow so that Value set is available in LOVs on "Descriptive Flexfield Segments" window:
Value sets used for context fields must obey certain restrictions or they will not be available to use in the Value Set field in the Context Field region of the Descriptive
Flexfield Segments window:
• Format Type must be Character (Char)
• Numbers Only must not be checked (alphabetic characters are allowed)
• Uppercase Only must not be checked (mixed case is allowed)
• Right-justify and Zero-fill Numbers must not be checked
• Validation Type must be Independent or Table
If the validation type is Independent:
• the value set maximum size must be less than or equal to 30
If the validation type is Table:
• the ID Column must be defined, it must be Char or Varchar2 type, and its size must
be less than or equal to 30. The ID column corresponds to the context field value
code (the internal, non-translated context field value).
• the Value Column must be defined, it must be Char or Varchar2 type, and its size
must be less than or equal to 80. The Value column corresponds to the context field
value name (the displayed context field value).
• the value set maximum size must be less than or equal to 80
All context field values (the code values) you intend to use must exist in the value set. If
you define context field values in the Context Field Values block of the Descriptive
Flexfield Segments window that do not exist in the context field value set, they will be
ignored, even if you have defined context-sensitive segments for them.
Best Regards,
Usman.

How to use the :$PROFILE$ token in a table validation value set

Hi Community,
Let me explain the scenario.
We have a Flex Value Set (CLIENTES SERVICIO DIRECTO) with a table validation, included in the PO Headers DFF, which shows a LOV with the Ship-to addressfrom the customer which we want to serve the goods; i.e. we are acting as a commisionists and the supplier puts the goods in the Ship-to address of the customer.
This Flex Value Set, as I mentioned, have a table validation, with the following validation table information:
Table Application: Oracle Receivables
Table Name: RA_ADDRESSES_ALL a, RA_CUSTOMERS b
Table Columnns: b.CUSTOMER_NAME Varchar2(20), a.PARTY_LOCATION_ID Varchar2(20)
Where/Order By: a.CUSTOMER_ID = b.CUSTOMER_ID
Additional Columns: a.ADDRESS1 "Dirección"(20), a.CITY "Ciudad"(10)
If we translate this to a SQL code:
select a.address1,
a.city,
a.party_location_id,
b.customer_name
from ra_addresses_all a,
ra_customers b
where a.customer_id = b.customer_id
and b.customer_id = 6283 <--- This last condition clause is for narrowing the result to the interested customer.
This select retrive us two records; for the same customer, one of them for one organization_id (let's say 85) and one of them for the other organization_id (84).
What we are looking for and want is that the LOV, which actually display the two records, shows only the ship-to site of the customer that belongs to the organization_id which belongs the user who queries or creates the Purchase Order.
I.e. Suppose that we enter to Purchasing using the responsibility assigned to the Operating Unit or Organization_id 84. We want that theLOV only shows the Ship-to Site from the customer that belongs to the Operating Unit or Organization_id 84.
I believe that we can achieve this using the :$PROFILE$ token, but we do not know how.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hi Rcana,
We have just test your suggestion and it works. We believe that the correc sentence was fnd_profile.get('profile_name'), but the value feature solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

@Nancy O.
Thank you so much for the information and the links!
Removing the height from the css made the error go away.
I did use a spry menu bar for the links. I then added in pictures for the buttons that i made in PS.
The reason i am using the free site that i am, is that this is my first real web site. It doesnt have to be ready for months and i wanted to make sure i could do the project before it goes on a pay site.
@hans-g.
Here are a couple of pictures from my Fx and IE.

IE http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z100/micro5797/Kommitted/HomeIEupload.png
In these pictures, why is the linkable lower banner section that says "Desktop" higher then the rest of the banner?
Is that a problem that occured in the "slicing" in photoshop?
In DW i set the border to ) trying to fix the problem, but it didn't make a difference, that is why i assume d that it may be an error listed in http://validator.w3.org/ , but now i see that it isnt.

How to include a DFF in search

My requirement is,
I have a DFF. I want to make the DFF fields searchable in OA framework. How can i achieve it?. Please advice by steps. Thanks

In OA developer guide, for DFF they have mentioned as follows
+++
Descriptive Flexfield in a Search Region Currently if a Search region includes a descriptive flexfield that has a segment of type LOV, any search criteria that you specify in that flexfield LOV will be auto-validated. LOVs, however, should not be validated in a search criteria region. To turn validation off, use the following API in OADescriptiveFlexBean:
public void setUnvalidated(boolean unvalidated);
If the unvalidated value for this method is true, OA Framework will disable LOV validation and disable server-side validation for the descriptive flexfield. See Flexfield Validation for more details.
+++
Does it mean, DFF can be implemented in Search Region. If Yes, how?. Any idea.

Soorya

Regarding DFF

Hi all,
i have created a form and a table and registered the table suing ad_dd package.
my requirement is to create DFF on the form so that, i created a procedure and given code for "WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE" and also for WHEN_NEW_ITEM_INSTANCE after that i deployed my form in Applications when i run Open the form i got the following error message.
APP-FND-00682: Program error: Routine FDFGDC cannot read structure ID field. The developer specified a structure ID column (via the Register Descriptive Flexfields form) that does not exist in this block of this form.
Action: Contact your support representative.
APP-FND-01242: Cannot read value from field STUDENT.ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY
Cause: The field STUDENT.ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY could not be located or read.
Action: This error is normally the result of an incorrectly-entered field name string in a trigger, or a field name string that does not uniquely specify a field in your form. Correct your trigger logic to precisely specify a valid field.
can any one tell me How to rectify this error and please give me some information on how to Impament DFF's in a form.
thans in advance,
siddam

the code for when_new_form_instance is
BEGIN
     SRI_DFF_TEST.DFF_PROC('WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE');
END;
and the package in program units is
PACKAGE BODY SRI_DFF_TEST IS
PROCEDURE DFF_PROC(EVENT VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
     IF (EVENT= 'WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE') THEN
          FND_DESCR_FLEX.DEFINE( BLOCK => 'STUDENT',
          FIELD => 'DFF_TEXT',
          APPL_SHORT_NAME =>
'CUSTOM_APPLICATION',
          DESC_FLEX_NAME => 'SRI_TEST_DFF');
     END IF;
     END DFF_PROC;
END;
in the when_new_item_instance trigger i have given the following code.
when_new_item_instance
DO_KEY('EDIT_FIELD');
thanks for your time and patience,

FlexField Validation based on Form Status

Hi ,
Background :
I have a Valueset attahced to a segment in DFF, that say, stores a employee ID. My Value set picks up only active employees based on a specific condition. So that, when user enters data, he/she can choose only active ones.
But as days pass by, the users are end dated. So when I query the Order ( to which this DFF is attached, ) that has an end-dated employee attached to it, the validation fails.
My Question :
Is there a way to have the Value set fire only in the Entry Mode and not fre in Query mode?
Do we have to do this using the FORM.STATUS ( 'NEW','CHANGED') in the valueset query to acheive this? Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks
konnektme

Hi Karthik,
Instead of making the value set not to validate, you can make the value set to validate as successful. This can be achieved in any of the following ways.
1) Make the Employee value set to display both Active/Inactive employees. If required the Status column can be displayed in the LOV. Also the list can be ordered by active employees first, then followed by inactive employees. There by user have the option to select the exployees be referring the employee status. This provides a provision to create records based on inactive employees also. If we strictly want to restirct to select only active employees. As said earlier, we can validate in Key-Commit or When validate Record.
2) Change the value set to return active values always and inactive values only based on condition. Say the condition is (:system.record_status <> 'QUERY' and active_flag = 'y'). In this case only active records will be retreived in the record status is not query, where as if the record status is query, inactive records will also be retreived.
If you have any solid condition to restrict the records, you can use those instead of record status/form status.
I would prefer to use Option 1. Which will provide a solid result all the time. Where as option 2 might cause some issues if it is based on record/form status.
Thanks

Value Set Error in Further Element Entry DFF

Hi
We have defined a value set(attached to Further Element Entry DFF) to fetch person contact details.
Value Set definition
====================
SELECT papf1.full_name, pcr.contact_person_id
FROM
per_contact_relationships pcr,per_all_people_f papf,per_all_people_f papf1,fnd_sessions fs,hr_lookups hl
WHERE pcr.person_id = papf.person_id
AND pcr.contact_person_id = papf1.person_id
AND pcr.contact_type = hl.lookup_code(+)
AND hl.lookup_type(+) = 'XXWHO_CONTACT'
AND ((pcr.contact_type = 'XXWHO_FAM'
AND pcr.cont_attribute1 = 'Child')
OR (pcr.contact_type = 'XXWHO_FAM_CHILD'))
AND papf.person_id = :$PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID
AND FS.SESSION_ID=USERENV('SESSIONID')
AND fs.effective_date between pcr.date_start AND NVL(pcr.date_end,'31-DEC-4712')
AND fs.effective_date BETWEEN papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
AND fs.effective_date BETWEEN papf1.effective_start_date AND papf1.effective_end_date;
We have used :$PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID to filter only the contact records specific to the person to whom the element entry would be attached.
Issue here is when we are trying to attach the element entry from People Enter and Maintain form, we are able to see the list of values.
Where as when we are trying to attach the entry from fast path -> Entries, no value is retrived. And client is using the fast fath "Entries" to
attach the entries for restricting the access from the users.
Any input/pointer in this regard?

Tried this but it is giving the below error
APP-FND-01242: Cannot read value from field PER_ASSIGNMENT_ID
Cause: The field PER_ASSIGNMENT_ID could not be located or read.
Action: This error is normally the result of an incorrectly-entered field name string in a trigger, or a field name string that does not uniquely specify a field in your form. Correct your trigger logic to precisely specify a valid field.
