Fetching value selected in Searchhelp of a field

Hi Friends,
In ICCMP_BT_SLO there are two views SLo1header and Slo1HCprice.
In Slo1HCprice there is a field CONTRACT_ID.I want to display this field alongwith it's searchhelp on SLo1header View.
For this I have taken following approach.
1) In SLo1header view in Context Node BTOrder, I added a model attribute through the wizard which will point to Campaign_Id attribute in BTCampaignSet. As I stated above exactly similar field is already existing in Slo1HCprice View. So I copied GET_V method code from there and pasted in the GET_V method of my newly added attribute.
2) Similarly I have also copied 'ON_NEW_FOCUS' event handler method's code from Slo1HCprice View into SLo1header View's BTOrder Context Class.
3) Later I did View Customization to bring this newly added field on SLo1header View.
4) Now I can see the field as well as the F4 help for the new field on SLo1header View.
5) My problem is when I try to select a particular entry from the F4 Help then the selected value is not getting copied back to my new field. But If I maually input the value then it is properly getting saved in Database as well.
Any suggestions ?? Do I need to code something in addition to this ? If input is given manually in the new field then the record gets perfectly saved in database.
Thanks in advace.

Hi Sandeep,
i think this is the solution to your problem:
you have to adapt your get_v method like this.....
data:
      ls_map    type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping,
      lt_inmap type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
      lt_outmap type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
ls_map-context_attr = 'struct.TITLE_ACA1'.
ls_map-f4_attr      = 'KEY'.
append ls_map to: lt_outmap.
ls_map-context_attr = 'TITLE_ACA1_TEXT'.
ls_map-f4_attr      = 'VALUE'.
append ls_map to: lt_outmap.
create object rv_valuehelp_descriptor type cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    exporting
      iv_help_id = 'BUT000-TITLE_ACA1'
      iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_comp
      iv_input_mapping = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping = lt_outmap.
You have to define the input and output parameter for your f4-help. These are some specific IDs from your view. In this example the f4 Input parameter KEY is mapped to the field id struct.TITLE_ACA1 ( an input field in the view). the f4 output parameter VALUE is mapped to the field id TITLE_ACA1_TEXT (also an input field in view). The Chosen value is going to be displayed in the input field with the id TITLE_ACA1_TEXT.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards
Andreas

Compare Fetched Value before Update

Hi,
I have a Before Header process that fetches values into page items on a form. A user may update any of the fields that have been fetched into the form. Currently, I am fetching the values into both a HIDDEN field and a TEXT field. Before I allow an update, I compare the HIDDEN value to the value in the form, and if it has changed then I allow the update.
Is there another way to store the fetched value, other than in a HIDDEN field? I am nearing the 100 item limit on a page, and want to remove the HIDDEN fields if there is another option.
Any suggestions, or references to examples is greattly appreciated!!!!

As a matter of style, I would choose an Apex collection here. (I prefer application items to generally stay as things that are not page specific.)
Another thought...can you make just one hidden item that is a Y or N flag, like Pn_CHANGED. Default and set it to 'N' on fetch of the data. Then on all your page items, define an onchange event that sets the flag to Y:
$s("Pn_CHANGED","Y");I admit I haven't tried this but I suspect it should work.
The only downside that I can think of is that if the user changes an item to a new value but then changes it back again (so it's back to original) then this flag will still be set to "Y".
I assume you are using this to prompt the user if they try to leave with unsaved changes or something like that? I could see where this might be OK though since various applications do prompt the user once they touched something (even if it was changed back again). But I guess it depends on your specific need.

FETCHING VALUES IN MULTI RECORD BLOCK FROM ANOTHER TABLE USING SELECT STATEMENT.

Hi,
I have one multi record block in which i want to fetch values
(more then one record) from another table using select statement
IN KEY NEXT ITEM.I am getting following error.
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
Thanks in advance.

In your case I see no reason to use non-database block and to try to populate it from a trigger with a query, instead of using the default forms functionality where you can associate the block and the fields with table, create where clause using bind variables and simply use execute_query() build-in to populate the block. The power of the forms is to use their build-in functionality to interact with the database.
Also, you can base your block on a query, not on a table and you dynamically change this query using set_block_property() build-in. You can use any dynamic queries (based on different data sources) and you simply need to control the column's data type, the number of the columns and their aliases. Something like creating inline views as a block data source.
However, you can replace the explicit cursor with implicit one like
go_block('non_db_block_name');
first_record();
FOR v_tab IN (SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE col_name = :variable)
LOOP
:non_db_block_name.field1 := v_tab.col1;
:non_db_block_name.field2 := v_tab.col2;
next_record();
END LOOP;

Select records based on 1 field have either of 2 values

Good afternoon,
II have 2 tables, Account and Order, it's a one to many where 1 account can have many orders. I'm trying to pull the records where the account has orders that have a status of Completed or Quoted. I know I'm not explaining well so hopefully the example below will help.
Account A has 3 orders, all of them are completed.
Account B has 5 orders, 2 of them are completed, and 3 of them are quoted.
Account C has 2 orders, all of them are quoted.
I only want Account B to show up in my report. That is, I only want accounts that have both completed and quoted orders
I've tried various record selections but because the status field on a single order can only have one value I'm not sure how to get the results that I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jeannette

hi Jeanette,
for this you may either have to write a report with a Command based object with a subselect and a WHERE IN clause.
there's an easier way using a Group Selection formula though...the disadvantage of this method is that this doesn't filter those records out at the database which could be a problem if you're dealing with 100's of thousands of records. if that's the case, then use the method mentioned at the top.
For a Group Selection method try the following:
1) create a Group on the Accountfield
2) create a formula called Completed that reads something like
if = 'Completed' then 1
3) create another formula called 'Quoted' that reads something like
if = 'Quoted' then 1
4) put these fields on the report and put a Summary on them at the Account Group level
5) go into the Group Selection Formula and find your group level summaries and create a formula similar to
Sum(AccountGroup, @Completed) > 0 and Sum(AccountGroup,@Quoted) > 1
This will bring back only Accounts with both completed and quoted records.
cheers,
jamie

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

Changing value of select list to match report field

I have an Apex page that has a report region and a form region.
The report region returns a single row of data from a SQL select. One of the fields returned is a user id (which I translate into a user name using a LOV).
In the form region, I have a select list containing users (based on the same LOV as above). The form is used to add a new record to a table. I want the select list in the form region to display the same user as displayed in the reports region. I'm adding in the form is based on the user id in the report region.
How do I do this? Because the form region is adding a new record, and uses the Database field as Source, it always displays the first item in the LOV.
I tried using computations to override what's in the select list in the form region (by doing a SQL select and getting the same row of data as in the reports region) but this doesn't seem to work. The select list just always defaults to the first user.
Is there a trick for making one select list match another?

Cheers - think you're right, using the default will do it. Having a bit of trouble with my SQL select now though...
This is the SQL I'm was using
SELECT ASSIGNED_USER_ID FROM REQUEST WHERE REQUEST_ID = 1;
How do I rewrite this as a PL/SQL function or expression to return the ASSIGNED_USER_ID field as my default (I'm still learning the basics of PL/SQL)?

Select Button beside custom metadata field on Check In Form

Hi
In Oracle Content Server 10gR3, is there a way to add a "Select" button to User Alias Applet for a new Meta data field on New Check In Form? I tried creating a component but I don't see a select button being shown up. The button does shows up if it's a standard metadata fields but not for the custom one. Here is the component code. Any idea what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.

          var selUser = document.selectAliasApplet;
          aliasForm = frm;
          selUser.createFrame();
     function setAliasString(val)
          if (val.length == 0)
               return;
          var str = aliasForm.xClbraAliasList.value;
          str.trim;
          if (str.length > 0)

Then I tried using the same code as above but instead used the built-in dDocType to show a "Select" button. This works but the button obviously shows besides dDocType but when I try for custom metadata as shown above it doesn't. Here is the sample code for dDocType:<html>

Can someone please let me know what is in my above code that I am missing that is preventing the button not being shown in-front of the custom metadata field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Interesting!
You'll need a component. You already mentioned you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the counters table for your component. During a check in you will need to fetch the next value from the counters table, increment the counter and store the new number back in the table. The year portion of the id is easy, get the current year and grab the last two characters. Then, put this all togther to get the data for your metadata field.
The big question now is where in the check in process will you do all this? You will need something called filters probably. Maybe addFiles, maybe validateStandard, there are several that this could work with.

Enabling and disabling input filed based on the Dropdown values selection

HI,
I have a requirement with Adobe Interactive forms being called from HCM Forms & Processes. We have a drop-down list and a inputbox.
based on the values selected from the drop-downlist, the input box should be visible and hidden.
If the input value is visible, I got to send some part of the value selected from the drop down to the input field.
i tried to write the following script in the click event of dropdown but the input field is not appearing with any value selection.
if data.Layout.CH1.CHContent.ISR_DDL_1stSelected.rawValue = "00000000" then
data.Layout.CH1.CHContent.ISR_NEW_COST.presence = 'Visible' else
data.Layout.CH1.CHContent.ISR_NEW_COST.presence = "Hidden"
endif
Thanks in Advance,
VR.

Hi Mukesh,
THanks alot.
Yes, The Split functionality is working. I have added the code in 'Change' event and for selecting the value from the Drop down, am writing the code in the 'exit'.
In addition to this, I am populating the values to the drop down from the Generic service. The problem is, while running the Process from Portal and check and send button, the fields fetched from the generic service & the dropdown values are getting refreshed. i hope, this is because of the java script.
pls. suggest me if this can be handled .
Thanks &Regards,
Venkatesh.

Item will not fetch values

Hi all,
I have a number of fileds on my page that are entered with user-input. Then, I have one hidden-protected field that is composed of 2 concatenated values from another field, so that I can use this field in the automatic row update process.

To compose the P5_MAAND_OPNAME field I do the following:
Source type: Database column
Source value or expression: MAAND_OPNAME (name of the db column)
Default value: '01-'||:P5_MAAND||'-'||:P5_JAAR
Defaukt value type: PL/SQL expression
Is this not the right approach? It should work and it does occasionaly, but more often it doesn't...

Hi Voxie,
Your approach doesn't work, because you use the Default Property of your item which is evaluated on rendering the page. What you need is a computation which runs right before the insert-process.

Plot a chart dynamically based on the values selected

Hi All,
I have some requirement like this i want to plot a chart . The chart should change dynamically based on target_name and date. What type of UI should I use ? I tried using multiselect or shuttle for choosing the target_name and date picker tool for date once i choose all this the chart should appear. Can I have a custom button called submit so once all the values are entered it plots chart ? Please help me out with our ideas.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Using the dependent value sets you can govern the values which can be selected based on a specific value selected in a particular segment. Example if Country name is selected in segment 1 then specific states names as per the country selected can be displayed in segment 2.
As per the requirement described you want to enable different fields based on the value selected in segment1, currently there is no standard mechanism available to enable/disable fields based on a value and you will have to do an extension/customization to meet this requirement.
Thanks,
Sanjay

How to see values (null, 0) instead of blank fields

Hi.
I search the forum but only found messages about users who want to show fields blank, when value is null.
I have the problem other way around. I work with DevSuite 10g and have a xml-Report.
I have fields and for some the query returns null (no value). Than the report shows nothing for this fields. Neither a blank line nor a value like 0.
The problem is, that the other values afterwards the blank ones, slip above.
For Example:
field 1
field 2
field 3
field 4
The Query returns null for field 2 and 3.
Then on the report I see:
field 1
field 4
But what I want to see is:
field 1
field 4
or:
field 1
0
0
field 4
But all I tested doesn´t work. I set a value for "when null" in the attribute inspector and the horizontal elasticity of "fix" (I thought it maybe it "slip together" so it is not shown).
Has anyone a idea how I can show a (blank or 0 value) instead of nothing, so that fields afterwards doesn´t slips up?
Thanks for your suggestions

Hej MLA.
I think it was from query, but it is anyway if it is from query or from form (it´s not from column).
@Brad
Thanks for your suggestion.
We solve this problem in a similar way.
We put a field under/over the other. We give the field we want to show a white background. So it is "sitting" over the other and the underlaying one is not shown (because the overlaying one has a white background).
If the overlaying one is blank it is not shown (so it can´t has a white background) and we see the underlaying field.
But to use triggers is a better solution.
I solve it on the same way as explained above but using triggers also.
But I have to leave a statement about Oracles Report Builder. Sorry but it is more than horrible program. I never have seen such a (also new and) bad programmed program. It is more than hard to work with it ... it cost me every hour I use it more and more power to stay quite ...
Here are the things I really wish to change at reports bulder directly:
- more than one step back (undo)
- there is a difference between the output in reports bulder on the paper output, what is shown when you print it on a paper (from reports bulder) and from what is shown in a PDF file produced with a reports server (that is really annoying, you never now if it is correct what you see in reports builder!)
- better editing and better selectable of the text-boxes and fields
- a way to hierarchically objects that are on the same layer (frame) so that you can really bank on it, that one object is ever behind another one
- not only moving and scaling of fields and boxes on a fix gutter (free transforming and moving would be great) because sometimes a text or a box with line around is not on the right place (out of order; above another object/text a.s.o.) and when it is (why I don´t really know) is not on the right place and the distance to the other object is less than the fix gutter-distance you can´t move it in such a way, that the two objects are flush with/on a fix line/place. It´s because the fix gutter. The distance is lower than the gutter, if you move it, it is not makeable to move it this less-than-the-gutter-distance to be flush with the other object. You can only move it in the fix gutter-distance and than it can´t be flush with the other objects.
It looked really bad and amateurish!
- a tool (a button or something) where you can marked object to flush all together on the same line, so that all objects for example are flush together on one start-line or ends (horizontal or vertical flush).
It would be great and would the work so really easier and better.
