Field validation under condition

Hi,
I need to perform the following task:
I have a selectOneMenu by which I can select the role of a user. If the selected role is A, then other fields F1, F2 and so on are mandatory; if the selected role is B instead, then the above fields F1, F2,.... are not mandatory.
So: if I select role A and I have not specified the value for, say, F1 a "value required" message should appear near the F1 fields as I press the submit button. If I select role B, no checks over fields F1,... have to be performed and the form is submitted.
I can I do that ?

Well the controls used in a JSF page are going to be render as ordinary html controls, and you could still use Javascript but there are other ways of doing it when working with JSF... I just can't help you as I've never worked with JSF.

Multiple field validation under one form

I have one form and in that form i need to validate multiple inputText fields. Each inputText field has its own button for an input assistance that would later populate that particular inputText field. When i click on one of those buttons the entire page (all fields) gets validated. Does this happen because they are all under one FORM? do we have a better way of doing this and does adding inputHidden after each field fix this? im really new at this JSF. thanks.

If you don't have any required="true" fields, then let your custom validator check which button was pressed by determining the presence of the button in the RequestParameterMap. If your search button has a client ID of for example "formId:searchButtonId", then do something like in the validator:if (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().containsKey("formId:searchButtonId")) {
// validate input for search.
}You can even pass the client ID as f:attribute along the UIInput field if you want.
The following two articles aren't strictly what you need, but it might give useful background information:

OIM Provisioning - Update target field just under condition

Hello Experts,
I need support to modify my SAP Target Provisioning.
This is my scenario:
- userA has a Resource SAP ECC.
- I need that the 'Valid Through' field cannot be update if the SAP ECC resource is in status 'Disabled'.
Is it possible?
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards,
AT

Hi Amit,
thanks for your answer.
At the moment the task that set our "Valid Through" atribute is linked to an adpter (type process task) that contanis just a "SET VARIABLE".
We need to introduce an IF condition linked to the SAP Resource Status (Es. if the status is not 'Disabled'-> set variable).
How can we do it using Design Console > Adapter Factory?
If, into the Adapter, I add a new Util Task -> Oracle Identity Manager API, I can use an OIM Api method, but is not clear how to save the result value into an adapter variable..
Could you give us some hints?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

Field validation - make field required based on value of another field

Hi,
I tried to enter the field validation into both LeadSource and stSource_Detail field, however, when the LeadSource is not "Customer" or "Staff" and Source Detail is not empty, the validation message will prompt. Below is my field validation:
IIf(([<LeadSource>]=LookupValue("OCCAM_LEAD_SOURCE", "Customer") OR [<LeadSource>]=LookupValue("OCCAM_LEAD_SOURCE", "Staff")) AND [<stSource_Detail_Staff_ID__Customer_ID_ITAG>] IS NULL,N,[<stSource_Detail_Staff_ID__Customer_ID_ITAG>])

Field Validation statements must return only TRUE or FALSE. Rewrite your statement such that if your condition is valid, true is returned, and if not, false is returned.

Bypass Required Field Validation when needed in PDF Dynamic Form

I faced a tricky situation, where some fields are required, but we need to allow bypass required (mandatory) validation rule when saving the form, and require to fill such fields when submitting the form. In other words, provide flexible control when to turn On / Off this feature.
I wanted to implement a flexible solution, and I will post my findings here. Appreciate your feedback for improvements.
Steps:
1. Mark rquired fields as required.
2. Specify "Empty Message" as "This field cannot be left blank", or similar.
3. Specify "Validation Script Message" as "This field must have a proper value before submit", or similar.
4. Create a Global Form Level Variable something like "StopTotalValidation" and default as "1" means by default, Turn Off Validation for some cases.
5. For the fields which require this type of control, add the script (to be defined later) on the "validate" event:
myTools.validateForRequiredField(this);
6. Create a Script Object "myTools" and add the following script:
function initStringFunc() {
//call this function on Document Initialize
String.prototype.trim = function() {
    return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
String.prototype.ltrim = function() {
    return this.replace(/^\s+/,"");
String.prototype.rtrim = function() {
    return this.replace(/\s+$/,"");
String.prototype.isEmpty = function() {
    return (this == null) || this.trim() == "";
function setNodeProperty(theNode, theProperty, newValue) {
   if (theNode[theProperty] != newValue) {
        theNode[theProperty] = newValue;
function isNodePropertyEmpty(theNode, theProperty) {
    var result;
    if (theNode == null || theNode[theProperty] == null) {
        result = true;
    } else {
        result = theNode[theProperty].isEmpty();
    return result;
function disableTotalValidation() {
    StopTotalValidation.value = "1";
function enableTotalValidation() {
    StopTotalValidation.value = "0";
function isTotalValidationOn() {
    return StopTotalValidation.value != "1";
function isTotalValidationOff() {
    return StopTotalValidation.value == "1";
const conRequired = "(required)";
function validateForRequiredField(theFld) {
    // Bypass Required Field Validation when Global Validation is Off.
    var result=false;
    if (theFld) {
        if (theFld.mandatory && theFld.mandatory == "error") {
            if (myTools.isNodePropertyEmpty(theFld, "rawValue")) {
                myTools.setNodeProperty(theFld, "rawValue", conRequired);
            if (isTotalValidationOn()) {
                if (isNodePropertyEmpty(theFld, "rawValue") || theFld.rawValue.toLowerCase() == conRequired.toLowerCase()) {
                    result = false;
                } else {
                    result = true;
            } else {
                result = true;
    } else {
        result = false;
    return result;
7. Now, on the click of "Save" button call the function "disableTotalValidation()" and on the click of "Submit" button call the function "enableTotalValidation()".
I have just finished implementing the above solution, and as per my initial testing, it is working fine.
I will post this to my Google Docs workspace, and provide updates their.
Tarek.

Hi Tarek,
I see what you mean in relation to clarity if you used the form variable approach. It was only a suggestion. Like so many things in LC, there is more than one way to finding a solution to a problem.
The triple equal sign (===) is testing if the condition is equal, but to a higher standard. It is testing if the values are identical to each other. For example if you were testing if a textfield was empty, with Equality (==) you might have this:
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "") {
     // Some script
If you use Identity (===) you can do the same thing with less script:
if (this.rawValue === null) {
     // Some script
It is also useful when testing the value of an object, but also the type (eg string, number, Boolean).
Lastly, it can be used for non-identity (!==).
In relation to createNode() etc, apart from John's blog, it is covered in the LC documents: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/livecycle/documentation.html. Look for the scripting guides and the guide to the XML Form Object Model.
Good luck,
Niall

Field Validation

I have custom picklist (department) which has value like 'Research','Sales','Production'
If the picklist value is Sales ,Owner field of SR can be null(owner field need not have value),I should be able to save record,
If picklist value is other than sales ,Owner field of SR should not be null(Owner field should have value),It should prompt msg saying select owner.
I wrote field validation on departmnet picklist
IFF((Fieldvalue('<picklistnmae>')<>'Open' AND [<Owner>] IS NULL),True,False)
but it show error msg for any status...
how to make owner field require based on picklist value chosen

Hi,
I think Owner cannot be null. If Owner is blank, Owner will be set as the person who create the record. Please chck it.
So the condition might be wrong.

Can a field validation point to fields of another record type?

Field Validation based on another Record Type Field
I am trying to build validation into a custom object that sums fields under the Account record type.
The names of the fields from OBI (the table location and field name):
"- Account Custom Metrics".S_INT_13+"- Account Custom Metrics".S_INT_14+"- Account Custom Metrics".S_INT_11
My questions: can a field validation point to fields of another record type? My thought was that if OBI can look across record types than all of CRM should be able to, including field validations.
Thank you,
David

Hi !
I'm afraid this is not possible for the moment. You'll have to wait for the Release 16 I think to have such possibilities.
The R16 will allow you to create workflow rules accross different record types (e.g. Create a task on the Account linked to the service request when a new service request is created). I hope there will be the same possibilities with the validation rules...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more.

Reg Missing Field Validation Message

Hello All,
I am trying to use field validation for making a field required when a specific value from a pick list is chosen, i am using this with a custom object.
i have written the Field Validation:
IIf(([<plStatus_of_Search_ITAG>] = 'Completed' AND [<stTechnology_ITAG>] IS NULL),N,[<stTechnology_ITAG>])
and typed some error message and saved the field, signed off and signed in
after that the validation is not getting triggered and when i checked the fiels validation textbox, i found the "Field Validation" condition and "Field Validation Error Message" missing. why is this happening?
as i have saved them.. what might be the problem.
regards,
Uday

Hi Arvindh,
The issue was solved after i cleared cookies and offline client, i was a browser issue.
Thanks.

SE11 Table Field Validation

Hi Frnds,
I have validated the table field through an event ' 05 ' -value created from se54. If validation fails Error message will display.
The thing is only key fields are in input enabled and the rest gets input disabled while error occurs. How can i overcome this problem by making all the fields in input enabled mode with error mesage to be displayed to make the entries does not saves in to the database.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Try making th efields input enable
by clicking on the over view screen
go into screen painter
then click on field list
under the input/output fields make them input required.
Also check the proper event underwhich you are validating.

Raj.

Trying to create a Field Validation Expression and need help

I have a picklist field and another field that are in question. I want to set some sort of rule that forces the second field to be populated only If specific values are selected from the picklist field.
I was going the route of a field validation Rule, but everything i've tried so far does not produce the results i am trying to achieve.
The first type of expression i tried was:
([<plProduction_Print_Account_Category_ITAG>] <> LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_ACCOUNT_1", "No Production Print") AND ([<stSIC_Code_ITAG>] IS NULL))
This is generating the field validation error message when i select any of the correct values from the picklist. the problem is still the second field, which will generate the error if a value is entered into the second field, regardless of the picklist value selected. Switching the "IS NULL" to "IS NOT NULL" only reverses the problem on the second field, causing the error to generate when the second field is updated to a NULL or blank value.
I also tried :
= 'No Production Print' AND [<stSIC_Code_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL
and got similar results.
([<plProduction_Print_Account_Category_ITAG>] = LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_ACCOUNT_1", "No Production Print"))
Similar results as well.
Does this need to be an IIF statement? Do I need to make this a workflow expression instead? i could really use some help as I have tried everything i can think of and admit, i'm not the expression guru!!!. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Yes we have the same request and we used the following expression. Example we have a field "Método de pago" ( [<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG<]), it's values are "CHEQUE and DEPOSITO" if we select DEPOSITO three more fields were requiered Route, Sucursal de banco and Clabe so we have to put this validation in the four fields including Metodo de pago.
[<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG>] <> "DEPOSITO" OR ([<Route>] IS NOT NULL AND [<nSucursal_de_banco_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND [<stCLABE_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL)
well in the field CLABE we put the following [<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG>] <> "DEPOSITO" OR ([<Route>] IS NOT NULL AND [<nSucursal_de_banco_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND [<stCLABE_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND Len([<stCLABE_ITAG>])=18) this was because the len of the value must be 18 characters.
I hope this works for you

How can I do field validation on the last two characters of a text field?

I have a text field. The user is required to enter the last two characters as numbers. I want to apply validation on this field. How can i achieve the same?
EX: If the user enter ABCDE, an error messgae stating the last two digit should be numeric.
I tried using the below in the field validation which did not work.
(0+Right([<ExternalSystemId>],2)) > 0 AND (0+Right([<ExternalSystemId>],2)) < 99.
Any ideas would help?

Try this-
FindOneOf(Right([<Field1>],"2"),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")=0

Mandatory field validation on Page links.

We have created a Portal application where we included different applications as taskflows. We have also created a tabbed interface which helps us to communicate from one task flow to another taskflow. When we are in one page of taskflow and try to move to another page of different taskflow using tabbed interface we receive mandatory field validation error which prevents us to move to any other page until we fill all the mandatory fields. We need to move to different page of taskflow by using the tabbed interface even without filling all the necessary mandatory fields. Can anyone help us to resolve this issue as this is very important for our project.

Field Validation on Read Only Field

I'm trying to create a pop up error box if a field contains null values. The problem is that the field I'm trying to do the validation on is a read-only field. It's the Account field on the Contact Object or Module. It won't allow me to include validation. The goal here is to have a POP UP ERROR box come up if someone does not select a value for that field. Making it required doesn't generate a popup box, it only has a small "required" text next to the field which can be easily missed by a user. Any ideas?

Hi !
I found the way to do what you wan't, but it sounds a bit strange for me...
You have to put a field validation on the Account Id field. I made some tests to know what is in the AccountId field when it's blank and i see that the value is "No Match Row Id" !!
So your validation rule must be simply
*<> "No Match Row Id"*
It worked for me, the error message appears... But I think this is something we have to report to Oracle...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Field Validation on Custom Obj. 4: Value of one field making other Req.

Hello All,
I have been working on a field validation problem for a while. I have a custom Picklist on CO4. This picklist has two values YES and NO (a checkbox does not meet requirements). What I need to do is If Picklist='YES' then FieldA, FieldB, and FieldC are Required else they are not required. FieldA = Text (short), FieldB = Date, and FieldC = Currency. I've tried numerous ways to validate on Fields A, B, and C with statements like IIf(Picklist=LookupValue(Picklist,"YES"),FieldA<>NULL,FieldA) or IIf(FieldValue(Picklist)="YES",FieldA<>NULL,FieldA) etc... these were just my latest attempts at this point I'm jsut trying random things to try to get it working. I am probably using incorrect syntax (even though it passes the sytax checker). If anyone has any suggestion let me know. Also if I haven't made clear what it is I'm attempting to do let me know and I'll try to clarify.
Thanks,
Z

Hi,
if I understand correctly, you want this functionality:
If Picklist = NO => it doesn't matter what values are contained in Field A, B and C.
If Picklist = YES => Field A is not null and Field B is not null and Field C is not null
To trigger the validation when the picklist value changes then you have to configure the Field Validation for the Picklist:
[<Picklist>]=LookupValue("Picklist","NO") OR ( Len([<Field_A>])>0 AND Len([<Field_B>])>0 AND Len([<Field_C>])>0 )
You have to put the validation also on Field_A and Field_B and Field_C, because in case of an update of , let's say, Field_B, you should prevent that Field_B is blanked.
If someone updates only Field_B and he doesn't change the value of the Picklist, the validation expression put on the Picklist is not evaluated.
