Forms 10g : How to set the Database Item property for an item dynamically ?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to set the database item property of an item to TRUE/FALSE
dynamically at runtime based on certain conditions.
Earlier, in forms 6i I've used,
Set_Item_Property (<item_name>, DATABASE_ITEM, PROPERTY_TRUE);
But in Forms 10g it doesn't recognize this Database_Item property and gives a compilation error.
Have I overlooked something or has this property become obsolete in Forms 10g ?
If obsoleted what is the replacement property ?
Regards,
Sam

Some options:
1. Create a database-view, including the "real" column in databases where it exists and a "dummy"-column in databases where it doesn't exist.
If that's not possible,
2. set database="No" for your item and
-- create a POST-QUERY-trigger which reads the data for that column from the database, if the column exists, and
-- create a ON-UPDATE-trigger which includes an
UPDATE_RECORD;
UPDATE THETABLE SET
THECOLUMN=thevalue
WHERE ROWID=:THEBLOCK.ROWID;3. Base your block on either a select-from-clause, a ref-cursor or a procedure to adjust he query-part,, for saving use a procedure.

How to set the read only property for dynamic ALV column

Hi All,
I have built one dynamiv ALV and I have one name column inside that ALV for which I have to set read only property based on two column fields that exist in the same ALV,say IS_SP and IS_CORP of type boolean.
If any one of the flag is 'X',i have to make that name column as display only and
If both flag are not set,it should be displayed as ediatable column.
I have written one method as INIT_ALV which gets called when ALV is loaded.
Code is as follows:
lr_column_settings ?= wd_this->alv_all_roles.
lt_columns = lr_column_settings->get_columns( ).
LOOP AT lt_columns INTO ls_column.
CASE ls_column-id.
   WHEN <NAMECOLUMN>. "name column which should be editable/display
Create Input Field
        CREATE OBJECT lr_uie_input_field_ro
          EXPORTING
            value_fieldname = ls_column-id.
     ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( lr_uie_input_field_ro ).
    After this,I have to set the read only property based on IS_SP and IS_CORP values,
          CALL METHOD lr_uie_input_field_ro->set_read_only_fieldname
          EXPORTING
            *value = 'IS_SP' or 'IS_CORP'
ENDLOOP.
I dont want to use cell variants also.
Help me to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Divya

How to set the default settment rule for the same kind project.

hi experts:
the project of the same kind of the project profile have the same settment rule to one account (G/L).
how to set the default settment rule for the project of this kind of the project profile.
regards

Hi,
You need to define the settlement profile and allocation structure.
next you need to define the Strategy for settlement rule.
navigation-PS> costs> automatic and periodic allocations> settlement> Settlement rule for WBS
--> Define strategy for settlement rule.
Select the strategy and click on settings. in that new entries, check the Acc Assg element, enter Settlement profile and mention accass category as reposnsible cost center.
Save this transaction.
Now create a project assgin responsible costcenter for the WBS element in the project buider and save the transaction.
Now run CJB2 transaction for the project, settlement rule will generated automatically.
even you can configure the same for profitability segment.

2. Expanding the "Data Control Usages" section in the structure window
3. Selecting the ADFBC-based data control
4. Setting the "syncMode" property in the property inspector.

Forms 10g : How to hide the parent MDI window.

Hi All ,
We have migrated an forms sdi application into forms 10g.
Now in the new application , we see a parent MDI appearing as a background to the SDI windows which is smaller in size ( as per the settings ).
Wanted to know if there is any solution to hide this parent Window(MDI) as the user wants a similar look and feel as his current application.
Any help is really appreciated .
thank you all.

Dear Friend,
If u r using SeparateFrame = true, then you cannot minimize forms MDI window, because this is the form on which your sdi form is based. It is better if you display your forms inside the main browser by setting SeparateFrame = false. It will look better as a new Internet explorer window will not be visible, which is true for SeparateFrame = true parameter.

How to set "Maximum Lenght" column property for database block at RUNTIME?

Hi folks,
Is it possible to somehow set a "Maximum Length" property for database block column at runtime?
I have a dynamic form, which maintains mostly "STATIC DATA" within all application which are stored in different static data tables (which have similar structure). But now, description column in some of those tables was extended (not in all at this stage). I would like to avoid truncating form error while reading data from those extended tables, so I would like to set an MAXIMUM SIZE to accurate value at the time when I'm specifying TABLE NAME for that database block.
What property should I use to set it?
   -- before executing query in "MAIN_BLOCK" I always set QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME to user defined value => STATIC DATA TABLE name
   Set_block_Property('MAIN_BLOCK',QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME,:control.table_name);
   Set_block_Property('MAIN_BLOCK',DML_DATA_TARGET_NAME,:control.table_name);
   -- here I would like to set also MAXIMUM LENGHT for particular column (based on some condition, etc.. correct value I can get from ALL_TAB_COLS dictionary
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('MAIN_BLOCK.DESCRIPTION', <<XXXXXXX>>, 300);What should I use instead of "<<XXXXXXX>>" if I want to overwrite MAIN_BLOCK.DESCRIPTION column's maximum length to 300?
Thanks,
Tomas

Hi Magoo, thanks for reply.
Yes, but then user can get other errors while trying to set description with value longer than in database (for all not extended tables).
Aby idea how to implement SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY like mentioned here?
Oracle Forms - "maximum length" property.
Thanks,
Tomas

How to set the same General settings for all users

Hi Experts,
How can i set the same general settings for all users e.g. marking the checkbox "Display header" to true for all users? General settings are possible under User Settings Button.
Regards,
Arti.

Hi Arti!
You can default user settings in a PFCG role, in the "personalization" tab.
If you have a PFCG role that is common to all your users, you can set the default values here.
However it does not prevent them to change these settings later, except if you modify the "user settings" fields properties in cProjects application.

How to set the number of sockets for batch processing at runtime?

Hello all,
I need to change the execution model at runtime. I have achieved this by setting the 'ModelPath' property of the sequence file at runtime. When I set the sequence file model as batchmodel, i need to set the number of test sockets also dynamically. How can this be done? Once i set the number of sockets, i would also have to set the UUT serial number for each socket. Please help me out in solving this.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu Srinivasan.

Hi Madhu,
You can do this by inserting a sequence file callback into your main sequence and choose the ModelOptions callback. You can then use the expression step to set the "Parameters.ModelOptions.NumTestSockets" value to whatever you want. If you then use the Test UUTs execution entry point you will be prompted for serial numbers automatically. You could also use this same procedure but alter the ModelOptions callback in the process model directly, either way works just as well but I think that using a sequence file callback gives a bit more flexibility in the system.
Hope this helps,
Nick

How to set the default maximum size for java's heap?

Hi!
Im trying to set the default max size for the java heap - but not from the command line.
I would like to set it higher as default on my computer.. how can I do that?
thanks!

>
...You may increase the memory heap only when you're launching a new JVM.>Much like IWantToBeBig does.
OTOH, it this is an app. with a GUI, it is easier to launch it using webstart, and request extra memory in the JNLP descriptor (the webstart launch file).

How to set the disable,visible property in declarative components.

We have used one declarative component. It consists of 5 buttons (add,delete,save,delete,print). In all of our pages, this declarative component is used. We could bind methods and was able to use each pages seperately (by linking the methods in the backing bean)
But for implementing the DISABLE,VISIBLE properties, we have added the attributes for this and refered this to the corresponding disable and visible property of the button. In the page all these properties where reflected. But at the runtime these buttons are not coming.
Can anyone advise how can we set the disable,visible property in declarative components.

Hi vikram ,
