Dynamically access item names from plsql block?

hi folks - is it possible to access the block/item names inside a form, from a plsql block within the form? does that make sense, probably not, it's gone 5pm and my brains fried today.
I want to try and control access to various items from within a back end table. Then in the form startup, I wanted to loop through the item names, fire them through to a check_access() function, and display or hide them depending on the result.
does that sound possible, to get the item names at runtime, or do I have to hard code each item name I want to pass to the function?
ps. forms 10g
thanks.

yes! check it out:

How to Access Item Names Property of ListBox inside of Cluster?

In LabVIEW 2010 I have a Cluster of Controls on the Front Panel. In that Cluster I have a ListBox. How do I access the Item Names Property of the ListBox in my Block Diagram.
From the Cluster, I can get the ListBox, but that returns an I32 value, probably the index of the selected Item.
In the Block Diagram, how can I get the Item Name Property of the ListBox from a Reference to the Cluster?
THANKS.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

by using the "controls" array of your cluster, you can access the individual elements. You have then to convert the reference to a "more specific class" using a reference to an arbitrary listbox (or a constant reference of the required type), then you can access all properties of your listbox.

How to get the Portal Page name from PLSQL?

Can anyone tell me how to get the portal page name from my dynamic page using plsql?
Apparently you can get the page id and work it out from there, but my calls to get the page id are not returning any values anyway.
My code for attempting to get the page id is below.
<oracle>
declare
v_pageid varchar2(30);
begin
v_pageid := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_pageid', '/pls/portal30');
htp.print('Page is '|| v_pageid);
end;
</oracle>
Ideally I'd actually just like to get the page name. Is there a straightforward way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Sarah

Few clarifications -
1. wwpro_api_parameters cannot be used to get default portal
page parameters such as '_pageid', '_dad', '_schema' etc.,
2. Page information can be obtained through any components which
are available in that particular page. For example, in case of
dynamic page, we need to publish it as a portlet and add it to the
page. This process creates necessary packages in the DB, but we
will not have access to the portlet methods.
So, I would prefer creating a simple DB provider & portlet and access
page title from its show method as follows -
//Declare local variable l_page_id, l_page_title as varchar2
select page_id into l_page_id from wwpob_portlet_instance$ where
portlet_id = p_portlet_record.portlet_id and
provider_id = p_portlet_record.provider_id;
select name into l_page_title from wwpob_page$ where id=l_page_id;
More information on DB provider can be found at
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/understanding.database.providers.html
Secondly, usage of wwpro_api_parameters.get_value method is
incorrect. This method expects two arguments -
<ul>
<li>p_name : The name of the parameter to be returned.</li>
<li>p_reference_path : An unique identifier for a portlet instance on the current page.</li>
</ul>
p_reference_path would be something like 99_SNOOP_PORTLET_76535103 and not some type of path as its name suggests.
The following code fragment fetches all parameters available
for a portlet.
Note : Copy this code into 'show' method of your portlet.
//Declare l_names, l_values as owa.vc_arr
* Retreive all of the names of parameters for this portlet
l_names := wwpro_api_parameters.get_names(
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
* Retreive all of the values of parameters for this portlet
l_values := wwpro_api_parameters.get_values(p_names=>l_names,
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
//Loop through these arrays to get parameter information
htp.p('<center><table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="90%" >');
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Name',1));
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Value',1));
htp.tableRowClose;
if l_names.count = 0 then
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.p('<td COLSPAN="2">'
||wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
'No portlet parameters were passed on the URL.',1)
||'</td>');
htp.tableRowClose;
else
for i in 1..l_names.count loop
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(l_names(i));
htp.tableData(l_values(i));
htp.tableRowClose;
end loop;
end if;
htp.p('</table></center>');
Hope it helps...

How do I write javascript for a text block to extract name from signature block?

Hello,
I've created a training certificate that the trainee has to sign electronically. To prevent someone from simply putting in their friends name in there and saving it; to send to their friend and help them from having to take the training and quiz I would like to write a javascript in the text block that would extract the name from their signature block and autofill the name in the text block. Is there a way to do this?

You would have to use JavaScript to access the signature field object and then you can access the various properties of the signature depending upon the certificate or method for signing.
signatureInfo
console.show();console.clear();
// Get particular info;
var f = this.getField("Signature1");
// uses the ppklite sig handler;
var Info = f.signatureInfo();
// Some standard signatureInfo properties;
console.println("name = " + Info.name);

Unable to insert row in object table from plsql block

Hi Adam
You need to instantiate your object type in your insert statement(while doing through PL/SQL block), so try like this
Insert into test values(document(1,2,'CO',55,'xyz','kkk','PENTIUM'));
The reason you were successful through SQLPLUS was that, SQLPLUS automatically instantiate the values into object type.

Find item name from item id

Hi!
We have a library procedure that accepts block id as parameter.
The procedure fetches some block realted information from the database. So, it needs to refer to the block name.
Is there any way find the block name from block id?
Rgds,
SB

This is pretty crude, but it will work. Maybe someone else can suggest a better way:
Function Block_Name(B Block) return varchar2 is
Blk_Nam varchar2(30);
Begin
Blk_Nam := Get_Block_Property(B,NextBlock);
If Blk_Nam is not null then
Blk_Nam := Get_Block_Property(blk_Nam,PreviousBlock);
Else
Blk_Nam := Get_Block_Property(B,PreviousBlock);
If Blk_Nam is not null then
Blk_Nam := Get_Block_Property(Blk_Nam,NextBlock);
Else --only one block in Form
Blk_Nam := Get_Form_Property(:System.Current_Form ,First_Block);
End if;
End if;
Return(Blk_Nam);
End;

Accessing Printer name from Registry

Hi,
I am trying to use the following program to get the Printer name from my Registry.. this program has been taken from Forums.
package yourpackage;

PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPrintable(new PrintObject());
if (job.printDialog())
return job.getPrintService().getName();
} else {
return null;
} else {
return null;}
This program when compiled gives me the error as
Error(32,12): method getPrintService() not found in class java.awt.print.PrinterJob
I did set the project settings from Project-Project Settings and included Oracle Forms Libraries. But I still continue to get the error.
What is the relevant class that I have to add and also how will I add it as I am a bit new to JDev.
Early response would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot for your time and help

Narain,
the code is from Oracle Forms and wont run in any other context. The code used within this sampel is teh Java printing services API available in Java 1.4.

Item name in detail block changed!? Help please!

Hi, All
I have a master-detail relationship. The join condition is Mast.ref_id = Detail.id. There was no returning records when I run datablock. When I came backe to the form, I found that the item name for Detail.Id was changed to FMNITE. I tried a few times, the name changed to different wierd charactors.
Did anybody have this problem?
Thanks,
Deborah

Hi Deborah,
I've had two times the same problem. Delete the relation, delete the Item and recreate them both. That was in my cases enough workaround. Before I did it, I have restartet the Forms Builder.

ugh, what an ugly "design". I can see your life will be full of performance issues, strange 'bugs', and other unpleasant side effects. I mean, it all looks "so cool", but it'll be a nightmare to maintain and enhance.
but then you have the issue of binds, which will be intractable. You'd have to know the binds at compile time, but you have hidden all of your sql in a magic generic table - so you cannot possibly know your binds at compile time.
I would suggest you discard all of this code (I am DEAD SERIOUS) and start over. This is a bad idea from the get go. Or at least do me a favor and do not use plsql (you make it look like a good database implementation, but it isn't)
The objective here is to store SQL Statements in a Table(a sql repository) and just call the required SQL from the application using the sqlid using the sql_execute procedure. ...
CHANGE YOUR OBJECTIVE.
How about this for a good objective:
the objective here is to store sql statement in a plsql routine (a sql repository, you call a procedure and we run sql) and just call the required sql form the applicatoin using the STORED PROCEDURE
sorry, can I think of hacks to get you going? yes, application contexts come to mind - a fixed number of binds comes to mind. Am I going to work them out? No - it is the wrong way to approach a database application.

How Automate Dynamically Embedding Customer Names from a List into PDF Footer?

Mavens,
After discovering that a PDF training workbook of mine has been widely copied (without authorization), I'd like to "personalize" future versions of this artifact with the customer/user name dynamically embedded in each PDF's footer.
Based on your experience, what is the easiest, quickest & most economical way to: generate a set of PDFs (from a "Master") where each individual PDF is personalized with a user/customer name in the footer (e.g., "This document is licensed to {FRED BLOTZ} at {BIG COMPANY, Inc.}. Duplication or distribution is not authorized.").
The desired workflow is:
1. Create an MS-Excel Workbook with a list of all trainee (user) names.
2. Open some type of "PDF Personalization" tool.
3. Provide the path to the "Master PDF" to the tool.
4. Provide the name of the customer (company) to the tool.
5. Provide a path to the MS-Excel Workbook with list of individual's names.
6. Provide a path to a folder where the tool should write the generated PDFs.
7. Click a button ("Generate Personalized PDFs").
Then...distribute individualized PDFs to trainees.
Is there a tool out there somewhere which provides the desired solution?
Thank you in advance for your experienced-based suggestions.

How to get the item name from a column in an interactive report?

I created an interactive report. Then on the same page I added a tabular form region. What I want to implement is that, when I click a column link button on a specific row, the name of the row will be passed to the tabular region, so that the tabular region can list the corresponding items that belong to that specific row. But I have no idea what the name it is. Any idea? Thanks!

Thanks! I've got it work! Now I can associate many product to a specific ProductNumber.
Another issue comes up: I want to be able to add more products in this category. But when I press the "Add Row" button, it generates a new line but with ProductNumber null. This results me in failing to insert the new record, because the rule is that ProductNumber can't be null, and also it can't be assured that the new record is associated with this category (ProductNumber). What can I do to make it automatically come up with the same ProductNumber for new records? I guess some kind of a trigger may be needed, but I don't know how to do it.

First time is shows properly but if i scroll then some random row is also appearing in bold, also when ever this set data function is getting called some random rows are coming in bold.

Radio button item value from plsql

Hi,
I have a radio button with 3 options on a region (P3_RADIO1). With pressing a button I would like to check the value of P3_RADIO1. But in plsql :P3_RADIO1 is empty. How can I reach the selected return_value of then radio button item?
A.

Hi,
Reasonable straightforward. You just need to use the bound values of the radio button (1 or 2):
switch (this.rawValue)
    case "1":
    Response12BN.presence = "invisible";
    xfa.host.messageBox("Attach a copy of your company’s safety manual and safety incentive programs.", "SAFETY PROGRAM ATTACHMENTS", 3, 1);
    break;
    case "2":
    Response12BN.presence = "visible";
    Response12BN.rawValue = xfa.host.response("Please enter the reason you do not have a Written Safety Program here", "WRITTEN SAFETY PROGRAM");
    break;
Should work,
Niall
