Dynamic User Input

Hello,
my collegue and I are working with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). We want to create an inputmask, that let's the user choose from a Combobox. We create a 'simple inputmask' from the portlet repository. Now we want to to have the Combobox entries to be added dynamically (well, with 'dynamically' I mean everytime the page is loaded again) with data from a database.
Unfortunately we have no clue how to realise this and nay help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Benjamin Rogge

Hello again,
onload sounds good. I have to admit that ,altough we both worked quite a bit with Java, our experience with Oracle and its Portal is pretty low. Here is what we want:
1. When the page is loaded, an sql query is executed.
select distinct location from data;
The output of this query is for example:
location1
location2
location3
2.We want a combobox with exactly the result of the prior executed sql query as its fields.
3. We want to resuse the values of the combobox-fields in other sql queries.
I hope this clearifies what we would like to achive and helps to help us.
Thanks,
Benjamin Rogge
P.S: I apologize for my potentially poor English. It is not my native language.

Help needed, Createing Dynamic User input

Hello,
I am attempting to create some dynamic user input by "predicting" what the user requires in a text box.
For example if the user enters "Smi" I have a select list pop up which gives the user all options that begin with "Smi".
I am able to achieve the popups but the interface is quite jerky and not terribly responsive I am trying to solve this by using a thread which starts and stops when new input is received but it is still not quite right.
The program uses a Sorted TreeSet to hold the data (I thought this would give me a quick search time) and a simple interface at this stage.
Any help would be fantastic
Thanks in advance :P

In chart (graph), How to set scale value dynamically(user input scale val.)

Hi ,
I am using Crystal Reports XI R2.
I have specified scale value but user is asking he can decide scale value while running the chart like Y-axis major interval (inclement by) 10, 7, 4, .5, .25 etc.
How to achieve this please give me suggestions.
Thanks and regards,
Manjunath N. Jogin

I do not think this can be done dynamically, You could build several sections, each with it's own graph,
set the scales in each graph, in its section, and then supress sections based on parameter.
So, you could have one section that is 5,10,15,20 etc.
and another that is 8, 12, 16, 20
depending on what they want.

Parameters to collect dynamic user input

Hi all, I need to create a discoverer parameter which collects one or more group's name (this parameter is connected to a LOV);
After this, I need to create a condition where this parameter (which could be only one values, or a collection of values, selected from the LOV) is passed to a function in order to set a variable (a collection variable) on the DB.
So, I defined this function on my DB and for this parameter I create a particular type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE group_name_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(200);
My problem is the PL/SQL Registration with Administrator, because it doesn't let me register a function which has a parameter with a collection datatype.
Also I red that is not possible pass a parameter to a function when this parameters collects more than one values (when is connected to a LOV)
Is there a way, or a workaround to fix this problem, in order to set on the db my collection variable with the all the values chosen from Discoverer ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi,
Please see my response in this thread (Condition with a calculation with a collection type as parameter

How to configure the schema name dynamically based on user input.

configure the schema name dynamically based on user input.
For ex:
We have two schemas:
Schema1 - base schema having 15 tables.
Schema2 - tables which is specific to modules. Having only 10 tables which is also available in Schema1
Login to application using Schema 1
Access a particlular module and select the country. Here country selection is identified.
Based on the country selection, we need to connect the schema respectively.
If the user selects France --> It should connect Schema1
If the user selects Germeny --> It should connect schema2.
Used: Eclipselink

You may want to have a different persistence unit for each country, then you just need to switch persistence units, and can put the schema in your orm.xml file.
You may also want to investigate EclipseLink multi-tenant support,
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/documentation/2.5/jpa/extensions/a_multitenant.htm
You can the schema in a persistence unit in code using a SessionCustomizer and the tableQualifier.

how to add column dynamically based on from_date to to_date?
Thanks and Regards,
Chris Jerome.

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

How to get the User input of Dynamic Action confirmation message ?

Hi Guys,
I'm using apex 4.1,
I have added a confirmation message box as page Dynamic Action. How can i get the user input of that confirmation pop up ?
Thanks

Hi,
you don't directly get the user input. But you should still be able to get what you want. Let's assume you have a dynamic action which fires for a "Change" (or any other) event and which has two or more actions
1) Confirm
2) Execute PL/SQL Code
If the user clicks Cancel/No in the confirm dialog, APEX will stop the execution of this dynamic action and not run "Execute PL/SQL Code".
Hope that helps

Dynamic change in the query name based on user input

Hi Gurus,
In a scenario, country appears as a user input variable.When the user specifies his country, the same query displays Business trends' data pertaining to his own country and rest of the world(international) in two tables.The reports are developed using Web application designer.
Can the name(description) of the query be changed so that the user input value for country gets dynamically reflected in the query name like Business trends:Selected country vs International?
Regards,
Balaji

Hi Bala,
ya this can be done by text variables. create a text variable( replacement path on the country infoobject) by going to the query properties on the description.
if the user enters country value then it will be displaed on the description of the query .
assign points if useful .

How can I pass dynamic value as a user input parameter in discoverer?

Hi,
I have a requirement for a discoverer report like this: The report will display only details for Suppliers that have expired (or soon to be) Insurance details. That is the Expiration Date is less than or equal to the day the report is being run plus any days specified in the Number of Days in the Future Parameter.
The sample code as:
SELECT s.segment1 vendor_number
,s.vendor_name
,flv1.meaning classification
,pca.certificate_number
,pca.certifying_agency
,pca.expiration_date
,flv2.meaning status
FROM ap_suppliers s
,pos_bus_class_attr pca
,fnd_lookup_values flv1
,fnd_lookup_values flv2
WHERE pca.vendor_id = s.vendor_id
AND flv1.lookup_code = pca.lookup_code
AND flv1.lookup_type = pca.lookup_type
AND flv2.lookup_code = pca.class_status
AND flv2.lookup_type = 'POS_BUS_CLASS_STATUSES'
AND pca.expiration_date <= trunc(sysdate) + <No. of Days in the Future>
order by pca.expiration_date asc
Now the parameter is Number of Days in the Future (Enter the number days in the future to extract the data. This will default to 0).
Is it possible in discoverer to do so as in query i do that like a condition as pca.expiration_date <= trunc(sysdate) + <No. of Days in the Future>.
How can I pass <No. of Days in the Future> as a user input parameter in discoverer?
Please help.

Hi,
All you need to do is to create the condition in the discoverer instead of in the query.
Create a custom folder containing the following sq (note that i removed the condition)l:
SELECT s.segment1 vendor_number
,s.vendor_name
,flv1.meaning classification
,pca.certificate_number
,pca.certifying_agency
,pca.expiration_date
,flv2.meaning status
FROM ap_suppliers s
,pos_bus_class_attr pca
,fnd_lookup_values flv1
,fnd_lookup_values flv2
WHERE pca.vendor_id = s.vendor_id
AND flv1.lookup_code = pca.lookup_code
AND flv1.lookup_type = pca.lookup_type
AND flv2.lookup_code = pca.class_status
AND flv2.lookup_type = 'POS_BUS_CLASS_STATUSES'
Then create a discoverer report using this folder using all fields.
Create a new calculation as (use this exact syntax):
Sysdate + :No_of_Days_in_the_Future
Create a new condition:
pca.expiration_date <= <your calculation>
To complete it add a sort as you did in the SQL.
That's it.

Dynamically display/hide columns according to user inputs

Hi,
I need to display or hide columns in reports based on user input. ie. I have several prompts, if user doesn't input values, then the associated columns will not be displayed in the report. Is there a way to achieve this in BO XI R2. Greatly appreciated for your help.

Hi Andy,
You can't hide them totally, but you can get close using alerters.
Build an alerter (probably a formula one) that put the value ="" in the field.
Now the formula should test the userresponse for that column,
based on the contents of it (filled in --> false, otherwise --> true).
Apply the alerter to all cells of the column. It will empty completely when the prompt was not filled.
Just set the width of the column to automatic (best use the header cell only) and the minimum width on zero. It will shrink the width when empty, making it seem as if hidden.
Good luck,
Marianne

Adobe form not saving user-input data into saved pdf file

Hi forumers,
I'm a new abap developer and I'm tasked to create an interactive adobe form that will require the user to input data in the form.
No data is passed and received from PDF, but PDF has to be u2018Fillableu2019. I am able to fill out the form but when I actually save the form, it will be saved as a blank form again.

But how should I code the abap program to enable to save the user input as well into the form.

Not quite yet, I have to say...
If you check the domain "FPINTERACTIVE", you'll see these values:
 Print Form
X Interactive Form with Additional Usage Rights
N Interactive Form Without Additional Usage Rights
F
So, you are not providing "additional usage rights" (Adobe Form Credentials), meaning there could be a problem when you want to use those forms in a Production environment.

How to accept user inputs from sql script

I want to create Tablespace useing sql script , but the location of the data file I need accept from user . (to get the location of the data file ) .
How can I accept user input from pl/sql .
Example :
CREATE TABLESPACE TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;here I need to accept location of the datafile from user ie : 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'

Hi,
Whenenever you write dynamic SQL, put the SQL text into a variable. During development, display the variable instead of executing it. If it looks okay, then you can try executing it in addition to displaying it. When you're finished testing, then you can comment out or delete the display.
For example:
SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300);
    sql_txt     VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
    SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
    INTO    flocation
    FROM    dual;
    sql_txt := 'CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE' || flocation || ' "\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf" ' || '
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL ';
    dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt');
-- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_txt;
END;
/When you run it, you'll see something like this:
Enter value for enter_the_path: c:\d\fubar
old   5:     SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
new   5:     SELECT 'c:\d\fubar'
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILEc:\d\fubar
"\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf"
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE
UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL = sql_txt
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.This makes it easy to see that you're missing a space after the keyword DATAFILE. There are other errrors, too. For example, the path name has to be inside the quotes with the file name, without a line-feed between them, and the quotes should be single-quotes, not double-quotes.
Is there some reason why you're using PL/SQL? In SQL, you can just say:
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
DATAFILE '&Enter_The_Path\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;though I would use an ACCEPT command to given a better prompt.
Given that you want to use PL/SQL, you could assign the value above to sql_txt. If you need a separate PL/SQL variable for flocation, then you can assign it without using dual, for example:
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300)     := '&Enter_The_Path';The dual table isn't needed very much in PL/SQL.

I am new to abap, can any one help me in getting column header dynamically through parameters in alv ?
Eg:-
i Have parametars for days field ,
user inputs days as 10 20 30 40.
Now I want to display in alv column headers as:-
1st column- 'FROM 0 TO 10'
2nd column- 'FROM 10 TO 20 '
3rd column- 'FROM 20 TO 30'

5th column- 'FROM 40 TO 50'
6th column- 'FROM 50 TO 60'
