Form with report, update field in the form = field is not updated in table

Hi,
I have a form with report. On Primary Key in the report is a link to the form. I select one row in the form by choosing the link in the report. Then I update a field in the form and press "Save". I see the success message "Action processed" and I'll be back in the report. I see the field in the report with it's old content. It is not updated. I don't understand why. Can anybody help me?
Thanks Daniela

Daniela,
Is the form field source set to the proper database column? It's either not properly defined or your Save button and the builtin update process have somehow become disconnected. Check to make sure that the Save button is set to perform an Update in the database operations setting.

Form with report, where some items in the form have been given values.

Hi, greetings:
I have a question that maybe silly but annoying to me. I need to provide a form with report, where some items in the form have been given values automatically, and these items (display only) are supposed to show given values in the form automatically.
I used the APEX form with report. The update and delete worked well. But I cannot show automatic values when insert. By default APEX insert form makes every item null; I tried to give value for two items: P5212_USERKEY, P5212_DAILY_VER_DATE with process before header, after header, after regions and before footer, and computation, or set values of these two items in the branch when user hit create button (submit). It never worked out, the two items always displayed null value, and when I insert, I got "ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("TBSBI"."DAILYVERPRODNOTE"."USERKEY")", since I have set up constraint in database that these two columns should not be null.
Could anyone help on this? any suggestion would be appreciated.
Sam

If you have made these values 'Display Only' they would by default not save the session state. Accessing the page items will always return NULL. Did you change the 'Save Session State' option to 'Yes'?

Additional fields in report for form with report

Hello,
I got the problem, that I want to create a form with report where the form only changes the values of one table but the report is also using additional fields linked from another table. If I take a view with all fields for my form with report, the form is about all fields and not only about those from the first table. So is there a way to have another table linked to the form than to the report and get a link between them by a key?
I hope that someone has got a great idea and can help me solving this.
Thanks
Jochen

Jochen,
you can create a form with report on the view and afterwards you change the SQL-query into a query on the view. Take care that the original column names remain the same. You get your extra columns in the report and your link to the form remains,
good luck,

How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

Hello all,
How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
Declare
v_valid boolean;
Begin
IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
END IF;
return v_valid;
END;
My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
Thanks

See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..

Populating parts of form based on Value entered in the first field

Hello,
I am trying to create a form, where user will enter the serial number of his equipment and I want him to click a verify button next to it.Upon clicking the verify button I want the Item Description field of the form to be updated ( this info is pulled from a backend MySql DB).Also, the text fields corresponding to the Equipment Site to be populated.After checking all the info, user should be able to click a submit button at the end of form and this information should be written to another table.I attached a Insert record server behaviour to form.Essentially, I want to attach a different action to both buttons on the form.In my view this is same a when we fill those registration form and based on our country, our state drop down gets populated.It seems this is doable, but I am not able to figure out how.I would really appreciate any help
Thanks

This is very simple if you understand PHP code. Basically, you give the two buttons different names, and use PHP conditional logic to control what happens. Call one button "verify" and the other "insert". If you use the POST method, you control the script like this:
if (array_key_exists('verify', $_POST) {
// create a recordset to retrieve the details ready for display
} elseif (array_key_exists('insert', $_POST) {
// insert the details in the the new table
If you're not comfortable coding PHP yourself, the easy way to do it with Dreamweaver server behaviors is to use separate pages. In the first page, just create a form for the user to enter the serial number. Use the GET method to send the serial number to a separate page. In the new page, use the URL parameter containing the serial number to create a recordset to populate the insert form. Then apply an Insert Record server behavior using the POST method to insert the details into a new table.

Creating a Form with Report based on View

Hi All,
I wanted to create a form with report based on two tables so:
1. I created a view (called COMBO) based on two tables
2. I then created a form with report based on the view
Everything seemed fine thus far until I tried to edit existing records - I got the error:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=2002082600001172, p_alt_rowid=REPATRIATION_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.NB: REPATRIATION_ID is the primary key of the Repatriation table. The other table is Applicant.
& when I tried to create a new record - I got the error:
ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.Someone please enlighten me!
Kind Regards
Kamo
Edited by: Kamo on 2009/03/12 2:33 AM

Hello Kamo,
You need to create an 'instead of' (update/insert/delete) trigger on your view to process the inserts etc into the 'real' tables.

Date Validation problem in form with report

Hi,
I am stuck on this date validation issue in a form with report that I am working on-
I have an Active_date_start and an Active_date_end field. I want to validate the form in such a way that if the user enters the Active_date_end < active_date_start then it should error out appropriately asking to change the active_end_date . Also another problem is that the changes are made to the active_date_end they should reflect in the table. How do I accomplish this.
Appreciate all the help offered.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the code.Now the APPLY CHANGES works fine except that it throws an error when I change the end date to a date which is less than the start date . So it does show me my error and does not go further but also shows me the error -
Invalid PL/SQL expression condition: ORA-06550: line 1, column 29: PLS-00306: wrong number
or types of arguments in call to 'NVL' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement
ignored Invalid PL/SQL expression condition: ORA-06550: line 1, column 29: PLS-00306:
wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'NVL' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I looked up the error number and it says its a generic error type where the error can be found on the line number specified. But in this case how and where do I look for the error line?. This is the code I am using-
DECLARE
vACTIVE_DATE_START DATE;
vACTIVE_DATE_END DATE;
BEGIN
vACTIVE_DATE_START := TO_DATE(:P4_ACTIVE_DATE_START, 'DD/MM/YYYY');
vACTIVE_DATE_END := TO_DATE(:P4_ACTIVE_DATE_END, 'DD/MM/YYYY');
IF vACTIVE_DATE_END < vACTIVE_DATE_START THEN
RETURN 'End date is before start date';
ELSE
RETURN NULL;
END IF;
END;
My base table has the active_date_start as NOT NULL. Now I have the exact same code for APPLY CHANGES
in other form and it works fine not giving the above error. I am at a loss to know how I can get rid of the error.
Any suggestions!.
Thanks in advance,

Use Formule on FORM with REPORT - result stored at table

Hi all,
What is the best solution for?
I have region with FORM WITH REPORT on the same PAGE.
Values stored at table INFO with column ID, MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN, SUM1, SUM2
ITEMS on the form:
P1_ID (hidden)
P1_MYDATE (date picker)
P1_TIME_START_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_START_MIN (select list)
P1_TIME_END_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_END_MIN (select list)
P1_SUM1 (hidden)
P1_SUM2 (hidden)
After user fill in MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN then I need proces for calculation SUM1 en SUM2. Result stored (one record) at table INFO.
Report shows all columns. User had possibility to update the record
Formule:
Select
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 00:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '08:00'
END) SUM1,
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 04:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '04:00'
END) SUM2
FROM INFO
where id=:ID
What is the best way for the calculation: computation or processes or etc? The calculation after or before user push button(New:create button of Update:Apply Changes)?
How to fill the answer (SUM1 and SUM2) at table INFO?
Thanks Walter

If you need to control height and width of your uploaded images, then you must use the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC function. Please refer to this documentation:

Form with report question

Hi,
I have developed all my forms of type 'Form with report' which after entering values, displays the report page that shows the details entered.
In the form page definition I have a select list for customer id which diplays 'customer name' as return value. So after the form values are entered it redirects to the report page which displays the details such as customer id etc. How do I make this page to display the customer name instead of customer id. From user's perspective it would make more sense if he can see the customer name for editing/changes.
Also I wanted to know which kind of report would be the most appropriate if the report is based on a PL/SQL block. Would it be as interactive ?.
Appreciate all suggestions posted.

Hi Zahid,
Yes, That is exactly what I wanted. So now I have my other table (resources ) for getting the resource_name . I do not see any quotes in your query which makes me wonder how your query under – ‘Region source’ of the Region definition looks like. Could you paste you code exactly as seen there. Besides I am not sure if we can join tables in there. I was getting –Unable to parse query error as well as Invalid character. I am not entirely sure of the syntax of the query definition in the report page as it is automatically generated . Any ideas? . I am pasting my query here for you to look at.
Appreciate your help.
select "RR.RESOURCE_ROLE_ID",
"RR.RESOURCE_ID";
"RE.RESOURCE_NAME",
"RR.ROLE_ID",
"RR.PROJECT_ID",
"RR.CREDITS_PER_HOUR",

"RR.ACTIVE_DATE_END",
"RR.LAST_UPDATED_BY",
"RR.LAST_UPDATE_DATE",
"RR.CREATED_BY",

Dynamically adding fields to the form when button pressed

Hi all,
In my application, there is a form from which I need to be able to insert data into 7 to 8 tables...
Creating a view and inserting data into 5 table sis fine but there are 2 table whose structure is as follows.
server_app_rel : server_id, app_id
server_jack_rel : server_id, jack_id
Here each server can have any number of applications and any number of jacks...
I am not able to create a view ( to create a form on this view).. since the number of appllication and jack columns are not fixed. The user should be able to associate all the applications and jacks to the server in the same form...How can I insert multiple rows into tables from a single form when I dont know how many application and jacks(app/jack columns) the user will associate to the server..
Also, How can we add fields dynamically to the form?
Our requirement is by default we have to show only one application field and one jack field in the form..And when the user clicks on 'Add more Jacks' or 'Add more Apps' button, respective fields should appear on the form to add data..( this is like 'Add column' button when we create table)..
Can someone please give me inputs on how to proceed..Am stuck with this from 2 days..It would be really very helpful if someone can give me atleast the links where i can find this info..
Thanks,
Nehal

Renaming a pdf document using fields in the form

Hello!
I have a form with a button that allows the user to send it by e-mail. I would like the attached pdf file in the e-mail to be named after fields that have been entered by the user (like the person's name, employee number). Is this possible to do using LiveCycle Designer (ES 2), if it's the case, how can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Dave

So are you saying there is no way that my form can be named automatically (without the user having to rename it) after data in the form?
I don't know much about script editing. Where would I write this code, right at the end of my submit button code?
Thank you very much!

Form with report Related

Hi,
I have created form with report.i want to apply the function like initcap,upper or lower apply changes portion of item.
e.g when i click on pencil image to modify the value.item which holds the value.if i enter value in lower case.i want to make value in initcap format.how can i apply this function.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks & regards
Nisha

Hi,
First of all when do you want to make them Initcap? If its after submit, then you can handle it in your DML or at trigger level. If its before submit, you can go with JS.
for those who prefer recursion over looping...
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnInitCap(pStr)
    var vReturn;
    if (pStr.indexOf(" ") != -1)
        // Initcap the first word
        vReturn = pStr.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + pStr.substring(1, pStr.indexOf(" ") + 1).toLowerCase();
        // Contains multiple words, call function recursively
        return vReturn + fnInitCap(pStr.substring(pStr.indexOf(" ") + 1, pStr.length));
    else
        vReturn = pStr.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + pStr.substring(1, pStr.length).toLowerCase();
        return vReturn;
</script>and put following in item attributes..
onChange="javascript:this.value=fnInitCap(this.value);"Regards,
Hari
