Dynamic table content

I am using OA Framework Classic Table. My table contains a MessageComponentLayout region.
My question is can I dynamically set the rendered property based on a value chosen by the user for the table, different for each row.
My business case is that I have a table that contains a column "Row Type". Based on the values for row type (say it's A, B, or C). If the value is A then fields A1, A2 will display for the user to input. If the value is B, then B1 field would display. If the row type is A, then B1 field should not display.
Can I do this rendering at a row level? And if so, please point me where I can find an example.

Hi,
yes you can control rendering at a row level.
You must add a transient Boolean field (say toRender) to your table data VO.
In your VO initQuery() method set it to either TRUE or FALSE according to your business logic.
Then define a new "public void updateToRender(String type)" method in your VO in which you iterate in your VO and set the value to either TRUE or FALSE by comparing the row attribute "Type" and the "type" parameter.
Define a "public void updateToRender(String type)" method in your AM, to call the same VO method.
Use PPR event in your CO to call the AM updateToRender method when the user selects the row type to show.
Hope this helps you.
Bye

Display dynamic table & content

I have this one webpage which I display a Dynamic record from
the DB. The webpage contains a table with the dynamic record inside
the table.
On the webpage, if the record firld from the DB is empty, the
table is not displayed on the page. If there is, the table is
displayed with the record inside.
With the following code, it works fine for the empty record
but for the other ones, it will display the table but no records
inside...any idea?

You need to pass the following to the quantity fields..
ls_fieldcat-do_sum = 'X'.
When you build the sort table, do this...
FORM sort_build USING lt_sort TYPE slis_t_sortinfo_alv.
DATA: ls_sort TYPE slis_sortinfo_alv.
CLEAR ls_sort.
ls_sort-spos = 1.
ls_sort-tabname = gt_tabname_item.
ls_sort-fieldname = 'DESCBIEN'.
ls_sort-subtot = 'X'.
ls_sort-up = 'X'.
ls_sort-group = 'UL'.
APPEND ls_sort TO lt_sort.
ENDFORM. " sort_build
Has you any way of knowing which fields are quantity?
Greetings,
Blag.

DYNAMIC CHANGE OF TABLE CONTENTS IN WEBDYNPRO VIEW

Hi,
I have a requirement to display a table contents, and there are two buttons, When i select some records and clk on a button i need to delete these records in the database table as well as in webdynpro view.
I am able to delete the records in database but the contents of table in view of webdynpro remains unchanged. Can anyone tell me how to delete the contents in the view also??
Regards
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
You need to Refresh the data you are binding to the table to make the latest data
visible on the screen.
On action of the button you are deleting entries from the database. After this
Fetch data again from the database and bind to the node of the table.
Hope this solves your problem..
Regards,
Ismail.

Sum of Values from previous rows in a dynamic table

Hello,
I have a dynamic table has multiple rows (added dynamically via a button). One column in the table is a Quantity column. Another is a Total column. We do not want to keep a running total, but only wish to display a total when the rest of the cells in that row are emty and the previous row(s) has/have values in the Quantity column. The Total is the sum on the Quatnities up to a blank row. Below is a sample. How do I get teh value of the Quantities in the previous rows?
Quantity
Total
5
8
12
25
7
27
34
22
22
Another option might be to put the Total in the last row with data as opposed to the row below the data.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Karl

How to populate dynamic table in Adobe Livecycle form with cfpdfform?

Hello all,
after two days search on the above topic without results I hope someone here can help me.
The problem:
I have an Adobe PDF form created with Adobe Livecycle Designer that has a dynamic table inside it. The table Table1 consists of a Header Row with 4 cells of text and a data row Row1 with four cells each one having a Textfield Cell1, Cell2,Cell3 and Cell4.
Table1 sits inside a subform mytable. The subform is made to flow and the Row1 has the Binding Repeat Row for Each Data Item checked.
Everything is enclosed within the standard subform form1.
Whe I use the following code, I supposed that the table should have two rows..because it is said it will be dynamic:

What happes is:
The testout.pdf displays just one row,with the values 1,2,3,4 the second row is only visible when I export the data as xml but not within the PDF.
Please can someone enlighten me?
Thanks and regards
Gilbert

When populating your pdf fields, you can loop through all the records in a query like so...
   <cfloop from="1" to="#query1.recordCount#" index="i">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField1_#i#" value="#query1.Field1[i]#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField2_#i#" value="#query1.Field2[i]#">
</cfloop>
This will handle two rows or thirty rows just the same. In this case my fields in the pdf have the row # as a suffix.

Sum for Dynamic Fields in a Dynamic Table with Field Symbol

Hi All,
I currently have an report which I am looking to update with some totals. The information is currently output in an ALV which is fed data from a dynamic table defined with a field symbol. The modification that needs to be applied is a summation per currency code where each of the fields to be summed is a dynamically named field at runtime. I am now just looking to see if anyone has any recommendations on how to obtain these totals it would be appreciated. I have no problem doing the leg work in piecing the solution together but am just stuck on which approach I should be investigating here. I have looked into several options but do to the fact that the totals are for dynamic fields in a dynamic table and it is a field symbol I am having some difficulties thinking of the easiest approach to obtain these totals.
Below is a simple sample of what the report currently looks like and what we are looking to add.
====================================================================================
As-Is Report:
DETAILED DATA ALV
Company Code | Plant | 2006 Total | 2007 Total | 2008 Total | CURRENCY
0001          |   ABCD |    1,500     |    1,200     |    1,700    |    USD
0001          |   BCDE   |    2,300     |    4,100     |    3,600    |    GBP
0003          |   DBCA |    3,200     |    1,600     |    6,200    |    USD
Addition 1:
TOTALS PER CURRENCY
Currency                | 2006 Total | 2007 Total | 2008 Total |
USD              |    4,700     |    2,800     |    7,900    |
GBP                       |    2,300     |    4,100     |    3,600    |
Addition 2:
CONVERSIONS TO USD

USD                       | 4,700 USD   | 4,700 USD   | 7,900 USD | 7,900 USD |
GBP   (1.5GBP/1 USD)    | 2,300 GBP   | 1,150 USD   | 2,300 GBP | 1,800 USD |
====================================================================================
Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Hi,
We cannot use the key word SUM in the loop at assigning statement.
The way i see is
When you are creating the first dynamic internal table , create one more with the structure below:
Currency | 2006 Total | 2007 Total | 2008 Total |
Then while populating the data into first itab,also move the contents to the second itab using collect statement.

Item Number in Dynamic Table Quirk

I'm a new LC user, ramping up to speed on this package, thanks to everyone for the useful information here and other places.
Using the great advice and info here,
http://www.assuredynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Assure-Dynamics-Building-dynamic- tables.pdf
I added a dynamic table to a form I've been working on. Most everything works, except the caption on the Row/Item number. So, I yanked out the subform with the table on it to create a simpler copy of the form to post here. Get this... it works on the simple form. So, there's something going on on my not so simple form that is preventing my Row/Item number from working.
I'm hoping that if I post both forms here, someone can help me fix this thing.
this is the form that works:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_excerpt.pdf
this is the form that does not work:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_std.pdf
Thanks in advance
John Q.

Hi John,
Try changing the code in the layout:ready event from;
this.caption.value.text = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
To;
this.caption.value.text.value = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
That is add another ".value".
Your form that works targets Reader 8.0 or later and the one that doesn't Targets Reader 9.0 or later, I'm guessing that is the difference.

Bruce

Dynamically Updating Content Server Portlets

[urlHi, I am currently having difficulty dynamically updating content server portlets. I have a portlet of the following form:[/url]
ArticleName Author Title Date mystory author1 title1 04/05/01
story2 author2 title2 06/07/04
story author3 title3 01/02/03
So I have this table where each one of the line items is an article in the content server. So, for example the first line item is an article "mystory" by "author1", with title "title1" and date "04/05/01" additionally there is an article text field, but this isn't displayed unless I click on the article name.
I can set up the basics of this portlet, but when I try to add any real functionality I run into one of two problems.
First Problem: Passing Information
I cannot find a way to pass information between content portlets. For instance, if the user would like to "re-sort" this table based on "date", I would like to have the user click on the "date" column heading and then reload the page. To do so, I would have to pass the section name back to the page so that it could resort based on this data. I have not found anyway to effectively pass information to a content server portlet. I am building these pages through use of the presentation template framework (so I can have access to the content items) but that seems to change the way portlets are handled.
I got around this limitation with a regular portlet by creating an intermediary page which captures passed information and stores it to the session state. Once the information was in the session state, it is accessible to the portlet on the first page. However, this only works because remote portlets do not change their session id once loaded. Content Server portlets, on the other hand, change their session id after every reload of the browser or page change. I can send information from a content server portlet to an intermediary page, but I cannot send it back to the portlet because the session id has changed so I have no idea of knowing where to send the information. I can write it to a session state, but by the time I return to the portal page, the content server has changed its session id so it does not know where to look any longer.
I suppose it would be possible to create an application state variable and append it with some static token (if there is some static variable per portal session) but I would rather not have to deal with application variables if at all possible.
Second Problem: Dynamically Updating PCS Tags
Even if I were able to the pass information back to my content server portlet, I run into another issue. The easiest way to sort content server items is using the filter command in the pcs:foreach tag. So, if I wanted to sort by author name, I could do something like the following <pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(folderByName('content'), filtered.name == '"name")" or something like that (the syntax may be incorrect, I just wrote this off the top of my head). However, it appears that the way the presentation templates are compiled goes in the order of PCS tags THEN JSP. So I would have no way of dynamically changing the variable on which I sort. For example, if I clicked on "Date" above in my table, I would like to be able to dynamically change my code so that I sort on date, and not name. I cannot find a solution to this problem.
My workaround is to use the pcs tags to write out all the possible sortings to java array objects. This gives me access to the data on a JSP level and based on whatever the user will chose, I could then display that array. While this works, it is extremely ghetto and inefficient. Any help or suggestions would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot,
Jason Grauel

You can use just about any javascript you want in any Content Server presentation template including ones that are used for portlets.
However, you should be careful to name javascript functions and global variables uniquely so that they do not conflict with any other javascript on the page. To do this, you can append the item id to function and variable names, for example,
function doSomething<pcs:value expr="pcs_id"></pcs:value>() {
return true;

All i want is that when users click on SUBMIT button values of point column in s_lessons(database table) be updated by new entries from user.
i did my best and result with that code is :
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' lid=888, sid=860935422, term=902' at line 1
I would appreciate any idea.
with prior thanks

Go to the Row Properties, and in the Visibility tab, you have "Show or hide based on an expression". You can use this to write an expression that resolves to true if the row should be hidden, false otherwise.
Additionally, in the Matrix properties you should take a look at the filters section, perhaps you can achieve what you wish to achieve through there by removing the unnecessary rows instead of just hiding them.
It's only so much I can help you with the limited information. If you require further help, please provide us with more information such as what data are you displaying, what's the criteria to hiding rows, etc...

Repeating dynamic table data in another table in the same document

Greetings one and all:
I created a dynamic table (for input) at the beginning of my form.
I created a dynamic table (for display and printing) later in the same form.
I wish to populate the second dynamic table with the contents of the first dynamic table.
I created a button in the first table which adds rows in both tables.
But I cannot get the second table to populate more than two instances from the first table. Any row after two just copies the contents of the second row.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Dynamic table in JSP

Hi,
We need some help regarding an unusual problem we are facing in our web application.
The background:-
We have a web page (JSP) for updating (adding, modifying, deleting) data from a single table. This page has been designed in such a way that when ever it is invoked, it displays content of the entire table on the page. Also there is a facility of filtering this content. The entire table content is displayed in a dynamic table without paging. There is one java script which is used to manage the scrolling of this table (300 rows at a time). Please not that it is just scrolling that is controlled by the Java Script, that is the entire table is displayed in a specific area with vertical scroll. Each row in this table has a radio button associated with it which is used to select a particular row for modifying it. User can select a single row at a time.
The problem:-
This page was working fine, until the number of rows in the table were under 70,000 records. Currently there are more than 72,000 records and the page doesn�t get displayed at all. It is not giving timeout error and also it is not going in to �Not Responding� state. It is simply showing a blank result page without the result table. Initially we thought that because we are fetching so much data in one go this would have been happening. But this problem arises only when we access this page from PC having Windows-XP operating system. If we access this page through a PC having Windows 2003 Server OS then it displays the entire table in a normal fashion.
We are in the process of redesigning the page, but still want to know why this is happening. It will be a great help if anybody can give any pointer on this issue. And also what should be a better option of displaying such a huge table for modification of rows.
Thanks and Regards,
Jagdish.

Thanks a lot masoodmjan.
Lets assume that this problem is due to huge data being desplayed at once. Now if I decide to provide pagination to browse this entire recordset, which now has grown to 90000+ records, how many rows should I desplay on 1 page? Is there any thumb rule to decide this number?
Just now I tried with 10,000 records per page & it took more than 25minutes to display single page. :(

Dynamic table in Offline interactive form

Hi Experts,
I want to add dynamic table (for Purchase Order line items). Number of rows in table will depend on item in purchase order. So, table rows should be added and data can be entered in table rows.
Can anyone give me the steps to solve this issue...
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nilesh

Hi,
You can use Following JavaScript for adding row in the Table:
xfa.resolveNode("Table.item").instanceManager.addInstance(1);
Make sure you have made BP as Flowed Content and the Item and Table subform is also flowed content.
Check the Min Row count checkbox of Item subform also
Hope this helps.

Dynamic Table in adobe inter-active forms

Hi Gurus,
I have dragged and dropped Dynamic table in body page and Header data placed in Master page. Now my problem is the data is not going to the next pages. Kindly pls tell me the way so that my data will appear in next pages.
Regards,
Srini

Hi,
What do you mean by Header data in master page...? is it header Row...with labels, why do you need it in master page have it along with your table in body page.
What do you mean my data is not displayed on the body page ...?
What I could understand is as below. you have a dynamic table where the number of rows may be n such that it can spread across multiple pages, if it spreads in multiple pages you need the header row in all the page occurances. is it so ...?
if so just do it as below.
Have the table in your body page with one header row and one body row.
Set table allowed page break with in content
Put this table in a subform and say it flowed top to bottom and set allow page break with in content.
Select header row>object>pagination set include row in initial page and subsequent pages to checked.
Select body row-->object->binding set repeat row for each data item to checked.
This should work, else let me know your requirement more briefly..
if You need a sample file for this send me a test mail to my id from the business card address.
Cheers,
Sai

Dynamic Table Selection function module

Dear Friends,
We have got critical requirement on Custom BAPI function module :
     we have to pass one field name of table and table name : Eg (Matnr and MARC).
     we have to get table contents w.r.t field name of table and table : Has to display MARC based on Matnr.
(It is something like we display table contents in SE11 and SE16, Our requirement is to get the data by giving random field name of table and table name ).
My View : Imports Tab of F.M of is static
               Tables Tab of F.M could be dynamic....if so how to achieve or any other approach?
Note : Eg1 : Matnr and MARA (Input to F.M) -
> Get MARA contents (Table from F.M)
           Eg2 : Matnr and MARC (Input to F.M) -
> Get MARC contents (Table from F.M)
           Eg3 : Lifnr and LFA1 (Input to F.M) -
> Get LFA1 contents (Table from F.M)
           Eg1 : Ebeln and EKKO (Input to F.M) -
> Get EKKO contents (Table from F.M)
Awaiting for positive and quick views.
