Form personalization to check whether anything to save

In the Oracle Financials Receivables application Receipts form (ARXRWMAI) there is a Distributions button that launches the receipt distribution screen.
If a user makes changes to the distribution lines and then selects the Cancel button or X to close the form, they do not get any warning that they have data to save
Is there any way using Form Personalizations to enable a message to be displayed asking if the user wants to save and saving data if required ?

The 'WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD' trigger is available in forms personization.
Is there any way to raise a forms alert and handle the response without having to use custom.pll
Found Note:47233.1 that explains how to perform this in Forms. Checks the :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS = 'CHANGED' property and then displays an alert and handles the result
In forms personlization I can use the :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS = 'CHANGED' on a WHEN VALIDATE RECORD trigger but need to know how to save data

Supplier form Personalization - One Time Flag

form personalization on supplier window
Forms Personalization to check one time flag
I have performed below steps to default the one time flag on supplier window for a custom reponsibility
1.Open the Suppliers and the Forms Personalization windows.
2. Seq=1, Description: Activate One_Time flag
3.Level = Function
Condition:
Trigger Event = WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE
Trigger Object = VNDR
Condition = :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS = 'NEW'
Actions
Seq=1, Type = Property
Description = One Time
Object Type = Item
Target Object = VNDR.ONE_TIME_FLAG_MIR
Property Name = VALUE
Value= Y
4.In the Context area entered the custom responsibility to be affected by this personalization.
5.Save your work and close all windows. Using the responsibility on 4, open the suppliers window again, go to the Classification tab and see if it is checked.
Issue is
when i open the supplier form it shows One Time Flag as checked
and I entered the supplier details and save the record .
from Find Supplier window when I query that particular supplier it shows One Time Flag as unchecked i.e ('N')
can you help me reg this issue ?

You can do one personalization at the form level without any scope
And then in the condition clause you can say
fnd_global.resp_id in (select responsibility_id from fnd_responsibilty_tl where RESPONSIBILITY_NAME in ('PAYABLE MANAGER','Payables', etc....))
This will make the personalization kick in only for the responsibilities you enter in the where clause above.
Hope this answers your question

Set_lov_column_property through Oracle Forms Personalization does not work

Oracle EBS 11.5.10
I need to change the LOV column title in an existing form using Forms Personalization technique. I am using BuiltIn->Call Custom Library option to invoke set_lov_column_property in WHEN-NEW-FORMS-INSTANCE event. It is not changing the LOV column title. I have attempted to use Synchronize following set_lov_column_property action and it has no impact. I have not tried using CUSTOM.pll changes and I feel it may work. At our client site, we have used only Forms Personalization to implement extensions instead of CUSTOM.pll changes as a standard practice.
Has anyone attempted this technique in Forms Personalization and know whether this works?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Oleh,
I was just returning to the thread to report that I'd found the issue (actually a colleague did) - and it is exactly what you said - the in-house documentation for the translations library says to add an ON-ERROR trigger to capture (and ignore) 41364, but whoever developed this form apparently forgot to perform this step.
You still get the brownie points for the answer though =)
Thanks for the help, my mind is more restful now because I was going nuts trying to find this!

Validate certain fields through Form Personalizations on hitting Save

Hi,
Everytime the user clicks on Save I need to validate if certain fields have been populated based on the value of another field.
For instance, if Category is changed to Active or is currently Active and the user hits save, then before the record is saved, I need to make sure that certain other fields on the form are not null.
How can I do this ?
The trigger event am assuming will be when validate record, but that the trigger block can be anything in the form or sub forms as the save button is only in one place on the main menu. Also for the actions, if I define the Execute function, how do i ensure that based on the function result the record is not saved and an error message is generated ?
Thanks for your help
Preeti

Thanks Gerald.
I tried this -
In the Form Personalization screen, I set the trigger_event to Key_commit,
entered a conditon and on the Action tab, i chose builtin with the builtin_type being raise form_trigger_failure. It saves the personalization but on Apply Now I get the error message : FND_CUSTM_REQUIRED.
Have you seen this before ?
Thanks

Check whether the checkbox in a form is checked or not using javascript

when we click a check box (TBD) it should set the value of a field to a default value '1234'. If we uncheck the checkbox, it should set the field as Null.
I have defined the checkbox as STATIC2:;1234 in form.
I used the onClick event on the checkbox and called a function to update the column.
Inside the function i am checking whether the check box is checked using
if (document.getElementById('P4_TBD').checked=true)
document.getElementById('P4_COL1).value='1234';
else
document.getElementById('P4_COL1).value=''; /* or $s("P4_COL1", "");
it works only when check box is checked. If check box is unchecked it is not setting the field as Null.
I checked document.getElementById('P4_TBD').checked=false instead of else clause. it is not working.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Ravi

When you are using checkboxes or option button, the ID for your button is using an index. If you create a group of 3 checkboxes with the ID = "MY_CHECKBOXES", APEX will create the following IDs for each of your options : MY_CHECKBOXES_0, MY_CHECKBOXES_1 and MY_CHECKBOXES_2. If you want to test if the first checkboxe is checked, you'll use document.getElementById('MY_CHECKBOXES_0').checked.
I didn't test for a lone checkbox, but I expect your checkbox to be "TDB_0" not "TDB" who is the frame around your checkbox group.

Checking whether data exists in a BLOB type database column in Forms 6i

I am developing an application regarding inventory of a plant's spare parts. I am storing photo (.bmp) of spares in the database in a column of BLOB type. Once user punches spare's code, form displays spares data on screen using EXECUTE_QUERY. At this stage I want to check whether picture (.bmp) data was found in BLOB type database column or not. I want to take action accordingly. How to check this. If it would be a numeric column, I would have checked NULL but NULL does not work with BLOB type coloumns.
Pl. help.
Thanks in anticipation.

Did you look in the database documentation? The DBMS_LOB package has the method you need: getlength().
This was more of a database question than a Forms question, so you'd probably have more luck with these types of questions on one of the other forums, like the database or SQL forums.

How to commit the PO form after each line using form personalization

Hi All,
I have a requirement, wherein we need to commit the Purchase order form, once a line is entered or before moving to the next line using form personalization.
Please assist me in getting it done.
Regards,
KR.

Hi Sandeep,
Thanks for your response.
At the line level in the purchase order form, we have configured DFF with one field for train# and 14 fields for the container#.
In order to prevent the user from entering the same container# twice in the same PO. We need to save the PO on each line. So that when the user move to the next line, our program will check with base tables and confirm whether the entered container# is free to use or not.

Hi friends
In my form personlization
I have set one warning (ie) if the price entered in the Po line differs from the standard cost it alerts a popup warning that "the price entered is greated than that of the std cost"--this is the requirement..and the logic is fine
1)once if i create PO with price entered differs from the standard cost ,and if i save my Po line i ll get notification
in the popup it displays "the price entered is greated than that of the std cost"
2)my issue is
i get the warning when i try to close the warning by clicking "OK" -- here i have to click "ok" for more than 5 times
Once if i create a 2nd PO lines with price entered differs from the standard cost i get notification in the popup it displays "the price entered is greated than that of the std cost"
But for the 2nd po lines when i try to close the warning by clicking "OK"-- here i have to click "ok" for only twice
What i need to check for this issue please suggest your opinion
I want to close my notification in single click and start proceeding
I have used the Trigger event "when validate record " and the action i have set it as warning message
Yes my standard PO form 'when validate record' fires five times
Thanks in advance

Just want to check whether i am on the right track

Im trying to learn to do a feedback form for an online application(online store) where the user input whatever he want in a textbox and click submit and then the text will be sent to a specified email.
Just want to check whether the stuffs i should be reading on are servlets and javamail??
if there any more things which i should read on and i did not state it above,i would be glad if u guys could enlighten me with the relevant information
tomleo

You probably want to save the user's e-mail address and any other identifying information he/she submitted in the questionaire. For this, you will probably want to use a database, so I would suggest learning JDBC as well.

How to do this Form Personalization in oracle purchasing

Hi All,
Am using oracle E-Buz -R12.1.3.
I trying to do one small form personalization
Resp --> Purchasing--> Requisitions--> Requisitions.
Now i ill query for one REQ number for example 1130011. Next ill enter a new line in the line level.
Requirement:
Once the line level data entry is completed, User will try to save the line.
So at this time. I need to fire one message that.
When the Destination Type is "Expense" and the user didn't enter the project details in the Distribution tab. Then i need to fire a popup message.
So i tried like this
Created a new FORM Personalization
Trigger event :WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Object : LINES
Condition :
:SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS IN ('INSERT' ,'CHANGED') AND :LINES.DESTINATION_TYPE_DISP = 'Expense' AND :DISTRIBUTIONS.REQ_LINE_QUANTITY IS NOT NULL AND :DISTRIBUTIONS.PROJECT IS NULL
And in Action i have created a message type and mentioned to show.
So Now the problem is when the user click the save button without entering the project detail the message is firing and i clicking three to four times ok and the record is getting saved.
So my requirement is when the pop messages comes when i click ok i need to go back to the Project block.
Can any one help in the requirement to get solved.
Thanks & Regards
