Forms Personalization: Ensure they take effect?

I have been tinkering with Forms Personalization in an 11i10 installation and have found some inconsistencies regarding when the actual personalizations take effect. Is there a known 'formula' to ensure that all forms Personalizations take effect? Let me give an example as to what I am experiencing.
1. I have created 2 menu new menu items (MENU1 and SPECIAL13)
2. For each menu item I set up the personalization to show a message
3. I could not get either to 'fire' UNTIL I completely exited forms and re-logged back into EBS.
4. Upon logging back in, the triggers would fire.
5. I then deleted the menu item and trigger for SPECIAL13. No reference of it exists in the personalization form what so ever.
6. Logged out of EBS (closed down browser session etc...)
7. Logged back into EBS, and menu item for SPECIAL13 was still enabled! Even though it no longer exists in the personalization form.
Am I missing something here? There must be some cache that has to be cleared?

It does not make sense. If you deleted the personalization action that CREATES the tools>menu option, logged out and back-in, there is no way Oracle will know how to show that option.
Are you sure you saved when you deleted ALL the actions?

Purchase Order Form Personalization Help

I am new to form personalizations and I am trying to create a personalization that will automatically display the "last price paid" in the Price field in a Purchase Order form for an Item once the Item No. is entered. Also once the data is pulled up, they need to be able to edit the 'Price' field to enter the current price.
I am not sure how to setup my form personalization using the SQL view to I have that contains the "last price paid" data. I would really appreciate some help on how to do this in personalizations.
Thanks
KG

Forms Personalization is a feature of the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) not a feature of Oracle Forms. Please post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. If you have a general Forms question, by all means, ask it here! ;-)

Voucher Number with Forms Personalization

I am trying to use forms personalization to accomplish the following:
We've enabled vouchering in Payables and now each invoice, when saved, is assigned a voucher number. (INV_SUM_FOLDER.VOUCHER_NUM_DISPLAY).
When you click the attachments icon, we want to voucher number to auto-populate the
FILE_NAME_DISPLAY field when CATEGORY_DESCRIPTION = Supplier Invoice. We have a trigger in place that takes the FILE_NAME_DISPLAY and adds the location path and .pdf. So if voucher number is 110, the trigger adds I:\Invoices\110.pdf. This file will exist as the invoice will be scanned to this directory and given the name as the voucher number.
We want the FILE_NAME_DISPLAY to = VOUCHER_NUM_DISPLAYED when a specific Category of an attachment is selected.

You should look at writing a d/b trigger or a periodically fired custom code that create an attachment manually.
You will find many instances of this code on the net.
Here is an example to get started

PO Summary Form Personalization

Hi Gurus,

We are using Oracle Applications R12.1.3.
Are there any profile options to navigate the cursor to particular line?

Thanks In Advance,
RS.

Hello RS,
I don't see a simple way to achieve what you are looking for. Most probably you will have to develop a customization to the form (customize the form itself) or maybe via CUSTOMPLL, but I have no experience with that. Maybe someone else has some ideas on that.
Another option is that people use the form in a different way, using the "Query by Example":
On the find form they enter just the PO number and press on find, then open to open and they will see all the lines in the PO. Then they click into the Lines block, press F11, enter Line number, press CTRL+F11 to execute the search and it will show only this specific line. Maybe not so efficient as you want, but at least faster than scrolling through all the PO lines.
And in R12 there is a web-based version of the PO Summary (OAF page), maybe you should explore that one as well? It's called "Buyer Work Center". Click on tab "Orders" and on that page on (sub)tab "Lines". Then you can add search fields "Order" and "Line Number" (use forms personalizations to have those search fields per default available).
Then search for PO & Line number, press Go. Then above the search results table you can select from the LOV the entry "Update Line" and press Go and it will navigate immediately to the specific Line and you can update the quantity or date.
kind regards,
David.

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

Columns From FOLDER TOOLS doesn't have impact of FORM PERSONALIZATION

Hi,
How can I get the column names in R12, which are available in FOLDER TOOLS -> SHOW FIELD using global variable or through some other means in FORM PERSONALIZATION.
When I use WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE, the default columns which display in the FORM have impact of FORM PERSONALIZATION. When I display new Columns from FOLDER TOOLS (like ULTIMATE_SHIP_TO_DATE) than those columns are not having any effect of FORM PERSONALIZATION.
How can I disable this field using FORM PERSONALIZATION.

Forms Personalization - Making a field required

Does anyone know how to use Forms Personalization to make a field required?

I haven't been able to get this to work. I'm trying to change the Returns form in Receiving to force the user to enter a reason code when they do a return. When does the WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD event occur? Is it when you press SAVE? I've set it up to give the user an error message when the reason_code field is null, but it's not working. It allows me to save with a null reason_code.
Thanks for your help.

Forms Personalization in Sales Order pblm

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement in which the lines tab in the Sale Order form is to be disabled based on a record in a custom table. The custom table has columns order_number and order_status.
When a order number is requeried in the form and a record for this order number exists in the custom table with order status as 'InProcess' then the lines tab on Sales order should get disabled.
I am not able to figure out what should be the conditions that i should put for this requirement.
Thanks for your valuable inputs in Advance !!

I have tried with the condition, but it allows me to enter into the lines tab.
I have few orders which would only be in this custom table and i want to avoid the users once they have entered and my program has validated and entered them in the this custom table. Basically when a user requeries a order number(which is in the custom table and having custom_status 'InProcess') he should not be able to edit the lines tab.
I have tried for below in forms personalization:
1) Conditions
Trigger Event: When-Validate-Record
Trigger Object: Order
Condition: exists (select 1 from xxmas_inprocess where order_number = :order.order_number and order_status ='InProcess')
Processing Mode: Not in Enter Query Mode
2) Actions
Seq: 1, Type Property, Description Disable Lines,
Object Type : Tab Page
Target Object: Order_Regions.Line_Items
Property_Name: Enabled
Value: False
For this the line tab does not get disabled.
Also i have tried the trigger event as : When-New-Form-Instance without any condition. For it the lines tab is getting disabled.However when i put the above condition it does not work.
Please suggest me any changes necessary.

HT4236 I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto, last import and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the mem

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

Forms Personalizations - How to navigate to a specific tab

I am trying to do a forms personalization in Oracle Financials.
The business requirements is have a menu option in AR Account Details form which takes the user to the Customers - Standard (ARXCUDCI) form and then queries back the customer and displays a particular tab.
I have everything working except the tab navigation. I do not know how to navigate to a particular tab using forms personalizations.
I'm not even sure that the 'Tabs' I'm thinking of are the same as Forms 'Tabs' as, when I try to look at the 'Tabs' in Forms Personalization it doesn't appear there are any. It looks like each tab the user sees is a different Canvas.
The canvas my 'tab' is on is called CUST_MKT.
As you can prob tell, I'm a functional consultant with limited forms dev experience. I expect the answer is simple - so hoping someone can help me out???
Thanks,
- Matt

Hi Matt,
You can use the action 'GO_ITEM' (type BuiltIn). In the argumen, you should write MYBLOCK.MYITEM where MYITEM should be an navigable item in the tab to which you want to navigate. To check the actual name of MYBLOCK and MYITEM, go to that item in the screen and check the menu Help > Diagnostics > Examine...
I hope it helps.

Changes in iAS6.5's web.xml don't take effect

After the cust deployed his application he modified some parameters in
the web.xml file of his application. He then restarted the application
server after but the changes didn't take effect. Is this the
expected behavior as they would need to custom web.xml
and expand the war file before deploying to see the changes reflected in the
pages because changing those after deployment doesn't work.
Thanks for your help,
Gaetan

In response to author 97:
are made in the registry during the deployment processI tried redeploying a sample web application using <init-param> and cannot find a trace of the newly referenced variable.
Could you indicate in which regitry path should it be found?
thanks,

Forms Personalization - How to refer to the current form

Hi,
I have created a Custom Form for Element Entries, and the associated function.
I want to then personalize this specific form to hide a column. I don't want to hide the column in all the Element Entries forms, just the Custom form .
My thinking is to add a statement somehting like
:CTL_GLOBALS.DESTINATION_FORM = "MY_CUSTOM_FORM_NAME"
Is this possible?
Bernard

Just do the forms personalization at your custom function level.
-Open your custom function in front end
-Help > Examine > Personalize
Go on creating your personalization record. Ensure the level set as "Function".
Will work surely. No need to write anything in the Condition tab. Just add your field hiding action in Action tab.

Online Plan change doesn't take effect!

After over a decade and a half of being with AT&T I switched here. Last month I changed my plan online (minutes) . When I submitted the change last month, the message said "It will take effect next cycle on 05/10/2011". Now I see my next bill now, and the plan has not changed! I just tried calling customer service and they've some technical issues and can't pull up any billing info temporarily ! I just don't understand when I saw it said the plan change was confirmed and it will take effect and now it's the same plan ! So now I did it again and it says now it will take effect 06/10/2011! This time I printed the daamnn thing to make sure there's nothing funky going on! I'm really ticked off.

Personally, I would make the plan change immediate and just pay the prorates since you are wanting the plan changed and you are having trouble with getting it changed on the next billing cycle
