Dynamic Item Attribute

Is it possible to create a item attribute dynamically in oracle workflow?

Yes,
WF_ENGINE.AddItemAttr
(itemtype in varchar2,
itemkey in varchar2,
aname in varchar2,
text_value in varchar2 default null,
number_value in number default null,
date_value in date default null);

Dynamically create document type Item Attribute using WF_ENGINE.AddItem API

Hi
Is WF_ENGINE.AddItem API , supported to create document type Item attributes dynamically ? If yes how do we set the display name of the attribute. If no then is there is any other method to dynamically create document tyoe item attribute?
Thanks

Hi,
If the document is stored on a file system, then I would replace the message body with a PL/SQL document which includes links to the files as straightforward URLs. There would be no need to include them in the Workflow in any way. For example, I recently worked with a client where all the (file) attachments made within eBusiness Suite were then migrated into Oracle Universal Content Management and the attachment was replaced with a URL to the new document. Any notifications now just reference the URL link to the document within the document management system in an HTML notification. While the processing is going on, the user is given the list of files that exist as attachments, but no links because the document is being processed by the management system.
If the attachments are going to be stored in Workflow as documents, you won't be able to change the display name though - display name is set for the attribute on the message, not for each specific notification. Changing the value of the display name for the message would impact all notifications that use that message, which isn't what you want.
What you need is to dynamically build the notification (either using PL/SQL or OA Framework) and include a list of attachments in the notification. This may be a direct link to the document (either in a document management system or on a file system somewhere) that you can render as a URL, or a link to code that can retrieve the document from the database and serve that to the user. This is not a straightforward piece of work.
If this is purely internal, you might be better off having a custom form / screen which displays the different documents, and link to that from the notification. Or you could link to a standard form for the transaction and have the users pick up the attachments directly from the transaction.

Problem with Configurator - Cannot Update Item Attributes for a Config item

Hi!
We configured an item to reproduce the following feature of Oracle Configurator in our business case (Oracle Configurator Modeling Guide - 115czmod.pdf): «For example, if you have raw materials that are ordered by lengths, do not create an item for each length. Instead, define a single item for each raw material with an attribute: Length. Then capture the needed length from the end user by a numeric input or from a List of Options, and associate that input with the attribute.»
However, after we run the AutoCreate Configuration Items program the item was created in the Item Master but no Attribute was updated with the user defined values (within OConfigurator).
We associated Item Attributes to Propoerties and these are associated to Feature Options.
we wish to have the Item Descriptive Element Values (Item Catalog)
transferred from the Configurator run time, after we configure any item.
This is because we are working with item dimensions, such as length and width.
We need to define these dimensions during the Configurator run time and have them transferred into the final configuration so that we can use them later on manufacturing. We wish to display these dimensions on a job.
Support said that "The descriptive element value for the configuration item is copied from the model. This process will not look at the properties in the configurator.
You may consider using the custom hook for catalog descriptions to get the selected attributes from CZ to the descriptive elements for the config item. Please see Custom CTO Packages under Setup page 2-63 in CTO Process Guide for more details."
I'm trying to implement the suggested solution.
I've customized user_catalog_desc procedure on CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC package to populate the item catalog values.
I'm failing to find the descriptive element values defined on configuratior for a specific inventory item id.
I have managed to found a relation between "p_params.p_item_id" given in procedure user_catalog_desc and
the configurated item_id in order to update the catalog data on the CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC package.
This is what I've done:
procedure user_catalog_desc (
p_params IN CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC.inparams,
p_catalog_dtls IN OUT NOCOPY CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC.catalog_dtls_tbl_type,
x_return_status OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2)
is
begin
declare
counter number;
i number;
l_value varchar2(30);
begin
-- Put your logic here in such a way that you populate p_catalog_dtls
-- parameter. p_catalog_dtls is a array of records. The attributes of
-- this record are cat_element_name and cat_element_value.
-- viz. record (
-- cat_element_name varchar2(30),
-- cat_element_value varchar2(30)
-- Example : p_catalog_dtls(1).cat_element_value := 'XYZ';
-- IMPORTANT : DO NOT ALTER THE VALUE OF cat_element_name . Doing so will
-- result in incorrect or inconsistent behaviour.
-- Make sure you set the x_return_status variable to one of the following:
-- FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS to indicate success
-- FND_API.FND_API.G_RET_STS_ERROR to indicate failure with expected status
-- FND_API.FND_API.G_RET_STS_UNEXP_ERROR to indicate failure with unexpected status
select count(*) into counter from MTL_DESCR_ELEMENT_VALUES
where inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_id;
for i in 1 .. counter loop
select
distinct to_char(nvl(cz.input_num_val,cz.item_num_val)) into l_value
from OE_ORDER_LINES_V oe
, oe_order_headers_all oeh
, CZ_CONFIG_CONTENTS_V cz
where oe.header_id = oeh.header_id
and oeh.order_number in (
select distinct oeh.order_number
from OE_ORDER_LINES_V oe
, oe_order_headers_v oeh
where oe.header_id = oeh.header_id
and oe.inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_id)
and cz.ps_node_name = p_catalog_dtls(i).cat_element_name
and oe.config_header_id = cz.config_hdr_id
and oe.config_header_id in (select distinct cz.config_hdr_id from CZ_CONFIG_CONTENTS_V cz)
and cz.ps_node_name in (select element_name from MTL_DESCR_ELEMENT_VALUES where inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_
id);
p_catalog_dtls(i).cat_element_value := l_value;
end loop;
x_return_status := FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS;
end user_catalog_desc;
end;
Although the customization seam correct the AutoCreate Configuration Items process
terminates with warning, and the catalog info is not updated as expected.
Can anyone help me on this?
Many thanks in advance.
Paulo Santos

How did you solve this issue? During my testing I found there to be no link to the order lines when I was within this program. Therefore I am having issues getting the configuration information to populate the catalog. Is there a link and I just was doing it wrong? Thanks for any help!
Thanks,
Angela

Dynamic Items - Restoring values on error

I've got a page with some dynamic items. When I display a error on the page the values do not restore to reflect changes that the user made, rather the values stored in the DB. This makes sense as my code does not check to see if a error occurred.
I'd like to check if a error occurred and if it did I can restore the user changes using the htmldb_application.g_fxx(x) function. So I'm wondering how do I know if a error occurred? i.e. is their a variable like the REQUEST variable which will be set if a error occurred?
Now a bit on a side topic, when dealing with error validation of dynamic items I run into the following issue. I do the validation through one pl/sql check. It checks that all the fields have values in it. Imagine there are 5 fields (1 through 5), and the first 2 are empty. My error message says "Field 1 is empty... Field 2 is empty"... That all works but the page just says "1 error has occurred" and I have to list all the problems under that 1 error. I'd like it say "2 errors have occurred" instead. How can I do that when I only have 1 validation function? Is their a variable that I can increment for each error I find?

Why to use Item Attribute with Event in case of some controls

A question about Event.Item
When i saw the example of MenuBar , i observed that we can get the data of the MenuBar clciked using a Event.Item@label .
I am having a question here , please tell me why Flex Framework is designed in such a way that getting data from the Controls is different for different controls .
I mean to ask why is it different in ncase of a MenuBar we have to use Event.item@label .
CXan anybody please tell me why what significance does an Item attribute have in case of a Event ??
Thanks in advance .

It looks like you probably have ProductID setup as your key attribute. The key attribute has to be unique as it defines the granularity of your dimension. So based on the data you have shown ItemID should possibly be the key attribute.

WF item attributes for new workflow versions

Hi All,
I have a query regarding Item Attributes for a particular workflow.
Assuming that for a particular version there are say 100 Item_Attributes for a particular Workflow.
In case a new version is loaded and if the new version is having say 102 Item_Attributes then
2 additional attributes appear in WF_Item_Attributes table for that Item_Type.
What if in the new version the number of attributes gets reduced to say 95.
Will the number of attibutes for that particular Item_Type in WF_Item_Attributes will be 95???

workflow creates versions for the new workflows you create(for most of the activities though not all)

Change ATO item attributes

Hello All,
I'm trying to change item attributes for an ATO Configuration item.
According to the following link, these are Hard Coded item attributes:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13692/T426454T426680.htm
Is there anyway to change one of these fields, so the new configured item will be created with a different item attribute, without changing the package?
Thanks,
Tomer.

Hi,
It needs customization. But why do you want to change them? If we understand the requirement I believe I can give a try to explain.

Item attributes not read by IPC

Requirement: Pricing in Web Catalog based on Product Master Attributes. (condition records use fields from product master data. These condition record do not get calculated in the Product price displayed in the produdct catalog).
What we have done so far
1. Implemented BAdI CRM_ISA_HDR_PRICING and its method NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ for passing additional Product Master Attributes and their values.
2. Activated the call of the CRM_ISA_PRICING_ITMDATA_GET function module for additional data at item level by setting the parameter u2018doItemCallsu2019= TRUE.
This function module calls the NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ method of the CRM_ISA_HDR_PRICING BAdI. Additional item data is transferred by implementing the NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ method.
3. The NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ method returns the additional attributes in the structure ET-ITEMATTRIBUTES.
We have referred the SAP Note: 1004533.
Issue:
1. When debugging, the method NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ is getting executed and the table structure ET_ITEMATTRIBUTES is populated with all the additional attributes (for e.g. ZZ_VARIETY) and the corresponding values.
2. In the Java Session log, when IPC is reading those values from the structure ET_ITEMATTRIBUTES, just after reading the first attribute it throws an exception as shown below and exits the loop that reads the values from the structure. Thus it does not able to read the additional attributes at all.
<<Snapshot of the error from Session Log>>
May 22, 2009 9:56:40 AM SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_23 Error com.sap.isa.backend.crm.webcatalog.pricing.PriceCalculatorCRMIPC Error occcurred in EAI layer "".

Any ideas on why even with the parameter 'doITEMcalls=TRUE', IPC is not able to read the item attributes?
thanks for any useful replies.

Is there an adobe accessibility forum where I can check

Do you mean if I use Panel, this problem could be solved?

Source Used Item Attribute

Hi All,
I am using HTML DB 2.0. I am a new user of HTMLDB. Please explain the difference between 2 Source Used Item Attribute
1. Always, replacing an existing value in session state
2. Only when current value in session state is null.
If there is already a thread on this, please give me the link.
Thanks in advance
Monika

So are you saying that this behaviour is different in v1.6?Yes. Otherwise the PPR stuff wouldn't work when those requests referenced uncommitted session state.
You mean, "will NOT be able to ..."No, it will be able to see the value of the item (in uncommitted session state). That's the change from 1.6.
What is an example of a "session-state committing source method"? Code that not only sets the source of the item for display but as a side-effect cause update_cache_with_write to occur for that item or for any other item(s). For example a PL/SQL Function source type that returns the source value and also does :P1_ITEM := 'value'; .

How to access a dynamic created attribute in a context node?

Hello,
who could help? I can't set a value for a dynamically created attribute which is bind to a table.
My context of the view looks as follow (is defined in NetWeaver):
- Context
 - Availability (Node)
 - vctxService (Attribute)
 - vctxServiceDesc (Attribute)
 - ... (further predefined attributes)
 - ... (some have to be set dynamically as follows)
Then I have added attributes dynamically in the wdDoModifyView(...) - method, as follows:
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
 // some code to dynamically create table columns
 // adding attributes dynamically
 IWDAttributeInfo attrInfo = wdContext.nodeAvailability().getNodeInfo(). addAttribute("vctxAvailability_" + i, "ddic:com.sap.dictionary.string");
 tv.bindText(attrInfo); // bind to TextView in table
In the method onPlugFrom... I tried to set the values for the attributes "vctxAvailability_ + i" as follows:
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
 IAvailabilityElement newAvailNodeElement = wdContext.createAvailabilityElement();
 // some values will be set for the
 // predefined attributes of AvailabilityNode
 // newAvailNodeElement.set...( value );
 // newAvailNodeElement.setVctxService( xy.getServ() );
 // now the values of dynamically created and added
 // attributes in AvailabilityNode will be added
 // THIS DOESN'T WORK
 newAvailNodeElement.setAttributeValue ("vctxAvailability_" + i, "value" + i);
It would be great if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Carsten

Carsten,
Here is a sample code that creates context attributes dynamically and also sets values:
//Creates a node
IWDNodeInfo nodeInfo = wdContext.wdGetAPI().getRootNodeInfo().addChild("TestNode", null, true, true, false, true, false, true, null, null, null);
//If you want to bind the node to a model node then the
//second argument to the above method should be the
//model class.
//Creates an attribute under the node just created.
IWDAttributeInfo testAttrib = wdContext.wdGetAPI().getRootNodeInfo().getChild("TestNode").addAttribute("testAttrib", "ddic:com.sap.dictionary.string");
IWDNodeElement testNode = wdContext.getChildNode("TestNode", IWDNode.LEAD_SELECTION).getCurrentElement();
IWDNode testNode2 = wdContext.getChildNode("TestNode", IWDNode.LEAD_SELECTION);
//Now you can bind testNode with the Model Node
//You can also set a value to the newly created attribute
testNode.setAttributeValue("testAttrib", new String("Value"));
Hope this helps.

Handling dynamic item data in VSTS

Hi Team,
Can you please let us know how to handle dynamic item data in VSTS.
Regards
Raghavendra

Hi Raghavendra,
Based on your previous threads posted by you in the test forum, I doubt that you want to create the coded UI test, am I right?
If so, which kind of app did you want to test, WPF or others? Could you share us a screen shot about the real UI controls you want to test? What real Controls you want to test, list item controls or others?
You know that to find a control in coded UI test, we have to use the unique peoperties as the search properties, so if your controls are dynamic, the real issue would be related to the search properties you use in your code.
Like this case:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4c4805f0-230d-459d-a3e5-61e62746c5b9/list-box-item-is-not-get-selected-while-play-back-the-recorded-script-in-coded-ui-test?forum=vsautotest
As Pankaj's suggestion, if the list items are dynamic then you can use the index values instead of the innertext, so the real issue would be related to how to use the search perperties in your side. If you item text value is dynamic, you'd better not
use the text value as the search properties.
About "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", reference:

If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Functionality of OE Transactable Item attribute

Hi,
Can anyone explain the functionality of OE Transactable Item attribute.The item can be picked/shipped and interfaced to Inventory module even without enabling this Item attribute.
thanks

Hi
In your case then the 'shippable' flag would have been enabled.
We can have OE transactable flag as disabled even with 'Shippable' flag enabled.
If both these flags are disabled then inventory interface would not be there.
You can use OE transactable in isolation, for items used in forecasting and planning like product families
