FORMS PERSONALIZATION stop a user entering a % in a field - customer name

been looking into doing this and have tried
:CUST.CUSTOMER_NAME_MIR like '%\%%'
doesnt seem to work :(
need to stop users putting % in any point of a name or entry
any help would be great!

first one is the one to change to upper case
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE is the trigger..Thank for the info
also i have that uppercase action which does change
the case on the form but when i save it the value
goes back into the tables in what ever case they type
it in
any ideas :)I think you dont need any extra action. Did you check the my previous update and try that personalization. Changing the "Case Restriction" property of item. So whatever text you will enter in the item, it will be in uppercase.

OAF PO Page Entry - User enter value in particular field - Then want to check it should be unique othewise Message must be displayed so that user will select the non unique value in the entry filed. Please let me know will it be possible using personalization? Or I have to customize the controller extend it?

Hahaha..
Every tools have its own pros and cons.. There are much more things which you do in OAF (which is a web based solution) which you can't even imagine in Forms

Ensuring user enter value in the fields before proceeding to another fields

Hello,
I am using Oracle APEX 4.1 in oracle 11g R2 database.
Here is the case, I have build a custom form in which there are 20 fields. I want to ensure that end user enters value in sequence one by one.
For example:-
First Name should be entered before Last name or Date of birth.
Please help guys...

Use dynamic actions for that and disable the element Last Name if the element First Name is empty. Enable it if the First Name is entered.

Send PDF form to email address user enters in textfield on form.

I would like to be able to allow the person using the form to choose what email address the PDF form is emailed to. I read this post which sounds like what I want but I keep getting a Submit Cancelled error. The email does get generated and the form is attached as a PDF so that part works okay.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4167414#4167414
This is the code I am using as I only need the To: address populated.
form1.Page1.Button1::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
var strToAddress
//Capture the values from the form fields.
strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Hi,
There is an example here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ.
// Declare the variable
var vEmail;
// Check that the email field is not null
if (txtToAddress.rawValue !== null) {
vEmail = txtToAddress.rawValue;
// Send email
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: " + vEmail + "?subject=&body=",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

FORM personalizations, get an error: One or more required fields ....

when Action type is set to Bulitin, and Builtin Type is RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE, then press button: Apply Now to get the following error:
One or more required fields are missing values.
Why?
Thanks

I open the form:FNDCUSTM.fmb, to find the code:
if :FND_FORM_CUSTOM_PROPS.ARGUMENT_TYPE IS NULL or
:FND_FORM_CUSTOM_PROPS.OBJECT_TYPE IS NULL or
:FND_FORM_CUSTOM_PROPS.TARGET_OBJECT IS NULL or

POST COMMIT FORM issue in Oracle Forms Personalization

Hi All,
I have following requirement in Oracle Forms Personalization :
1. User updates a records( from the table xxtable) in the Form
2. Following this, on saving the record, a stored procedure is called to pick those records which are updated/inserted and display. But its displaying still the old values, since commit has not occured.
3. I have added new forms personalization using POST-DATABASE-COMMIT and POST-FORM-COMMIT. However, none of this trigger is firing.
Used POST-UPDATE and POST-INSERT, but this trigger are not fetching the committed data but picking the old value.
Please let me know, how this requirement can be achieved in Oracle forms personalization?
Many Thanks in Advance.

the difference in time is that you doing the following additional tasks in forms that you dont do in sqlplus:
1. you are retrieving data into the fields of the form.
2. creating the record.
which is a network round-trip for each record. AFAIK.
if its an option for you, I would create a global temporary table and then populate the temporary table with the required data. Then build a base table block based on the global temporary table. This way you can use the forms default functionality and its fast because you dont have to populate all the records on the form before you see the first record!

How to handle user entered data validation

Hi,
In my page i have three fields
Empname (String)
Empnumber (Number)
DOB (Date)
These fields are mapped to VO which are mapped to EO.
When user enters string in Empnumber field then it will throw user following Error "Cannot create an object of type:oracle.jbo.domain.Number with value hghfg"
I want to display above Error in user friendly fashion.
Where to do this and How to do this?
And i have one more question
can we handle all the exceptions in seter method of EOIMPL?
-Thanks
Mithun

Sumit,
I have set 'Disable Client Side Validation' in the property inspector true for submit button. Added below code for validation
In CO
String lb_flag= (String)am.invokeMethod("validateRVSize",prm1,prmType1);
In AM
public String validateRVSize(String val)
String values = "1234567890' ";
for (int i=0; i < val.length(); i++)
if (values.indexOf(val.charAt(i)) < 0)
return "false";
return "true";
but what i have observed is control is not at all coming to process form request. it is doing it's validation in processformdata itself, i suppose.
because no statement is getting printed if i had entered characters in number field.

User entered email submition

I was wondering if it is possible, and if it is, how to do it? I want the user of the form to be able to enter an email address, and then when they click the submit button, it sends it to the email address they entered.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I have come close, but I think I might have hit a huge, impossible to cross road block...
I have my text field set up in which the user enters an email address. On the exit event of this field, I have my variable email set to whatever the user enters. (email.value = emailField.rawValue;)
I then have my button which is set to mailto upon a click from the user. (and works perfect if I put in an email address such as [email protected]) I replaced 'mailto:[email protected]?subject=.... with 'mailto:'+email+'?subject=.... Once I do this, which should theoretically insert whatever the user entered into the to field, I get the following error: Outlook does not recognize "[object XFAobject'".
Similarly if i go back to the normal email but set subject to '?subject='+email+... in the subject line of the email [object XFAobject] appears instead of what the user entered.
Any suggestions, or ways to fix this at all?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan

Forms Personalization not working after R12 upgrade

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to R12. We have forms personalizations on the People, Enter and Maintain form and this is not working now after the R12 upgrade.
I went to one of the form personalizations and Validated and Applied again but it still did not work. I also created a new one but had no success with that either.
Any ideas how to get this working again ? Is there something extra that needs to be done for R12?
Thanks
Regards,
Shalantha

Pl indicate which version of R12 and on what form you had the personalization in the previous version. Have you checked FND_FORM_CUSTOM_% tables to ensure that the personalization survived the upgrade ?
Pl see if these MOS Docs can help

User entered info populating a header?

Is there a way to have information a user enters in a Text Field populate a field in the header on subsequent/master pages?
For example, if the form asks for a person's first name in one text field, and last name in another text field, than the person's last name appears in the header of all subsequent pages of the form?
Thanks!!!

Yes it can be done ....here is a sample. I could not use your sample as it was not built in Designer.
The code to fill the field on the Master Page is on teh calculate event.

User Entered - Required not working????

I'm developing a form (Adobe Acrobat Professional 8/LiveCycle Designer 8 ) in which the customer must fill many of the fields (mix of text and date fields). I'm setting the Object - Value - Type to User Entered - Required for these fields. However, I can tab right through them even when they are blank/null. I don't want the fields to work that way. If I get into the field (tabbing or mouse click) and I've set the field to User Entered - Required, I don't want to be able to get out of the field until I've filled it in.
I thought this was the way it worked early in my testing, but I had to work a different project for a while. Now that I'm back, it just acts as if the "null checking" has been turned off. Any suggestions as to what I need to do to get this working (again?).
Also, I have put a message in each of the empty message fields. I'm noticing that I can tab through blank fields :( but if I put data in one of those fields, clear the field and try to tab out, I do get the empty message text I specified.
Thanks!

Hi RAM,
I'll try to answer your questions one by one. Any comments and feedback are welcome.
1.- I assume that you have created a Model, a Service Controller and binded the data to your view.
At this point, you need to bind the property datasource of your interactive form to a node in your context hierarchy.
This data will be available at the form Data View Palette.
Then you have to edit your form, drag a Drop Down List to the form and in the Fields Tab of the Object Palette you need
to bind the List Items property. Just click the link and in the "Dynamic Properties" window, choose the table root node for Items, and the Text and Value atributes for Text and value properties respectively.
After that, in the binding tab, you will have to do the "default binding", and bind the values clicking on "Specify Item Values".

Cell data not getting refreshed in which user enters data OO ALV(editable)

Hi Friends,
I am using OO ALV for editable grid display.
I am unable to change grid data in the cell in which user enters something, using OO ALV. Did through debugging of my own program and found that some problem with system program. Then I did all system debugging. Could not find out why is the grid not getting refreshed with the new data in the cell in which user had entered some value. Rest of the cell's data are getting refreshed with the values which i am updating in the final internal table. I can see that the data in the final internal table is changed for the cell in which user enters data. But even after the call of
      CALL METHOD obj_alvgrid1->refresh_table_display
does not refreshes the data in the cell in which user had entered data. Rest of the cells data are getting refreshed.
Piece of code:
SET HANDLER obj_event_receiver->handle_data_changed
                                     FOR obj_alvgrid1.
    METHODS: handle_data_changed
                   FOR EVENT data_changed OF cl_gui_alv_grid
                       IMPORTING er_data_changed
                                 e_onf4
                                 e_onf4_before
                                 e_onf4_after.
METHOD handle_data_changed.
DATA : v_valid    TYPE char1,
         v_refresh TYPE char1.
*--check mt_good_cells semantically
CALL METHOD perform_semantic_checks( er_data_changed ).
*--If PBO is again visited, just refresh the ALV grid.
CALL METHOD obj_alvgrid1->refresh_table_display
    EXCEPTIONS
      finished = 1
      OTHERS   = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD perform_semantic_checks.
    LOOP AT er_data_changed->mt_good_cells INTO w_good.
      v_index = sy-tabix.
      CASE w_good-fieldname.
        WHEN 'ZASCAS'.
*Now here based on some conditions I am changing my final internal table i_zamtsmatnp
                          MODIFY i_zamtsmatnp FROM w_zamtsmatnp INDEX
                                           w_good-row_id TRANSPORTING
                                             zascas modif.
User enters data in zascas field. Based on the data entered, I am changing other fields which is getting refreshed. I am also changing zascas in the program even after user had already entered the value which was bit wrong and i am correcting it in the program on the even "data_changed" even.
Please help me friends as i m strugling past hours wondering why the data is not getting refreshed for the cell in which user enter data.
Regards,
Surya

Hi Surya,
   The approach you are following is correct. You need to use the comibnation of all these things:
Event - DATA_CHANGED
Methods - CHECK_CHANGED_DATA
             - GET_CHANGED_DATA.
However, here are few standard programs which are having similar functionality.

Oracle Forms Personalization - Menu Icon

Hello, hopefully a quick question. Looking at forms personalization and want to add a new menu item. I can achieve this using Forms Personalization no problem. My question is regarding the 'Icon Name' field for the Action Type of Menu. I understand that this is asking for a .ico file to display in the toolbar, however I'm not sure where to place this .ico file on the file system for it to be picked up? Any thoughts?
Thanks

Thanks.
Basically in the Forms Personalization Form for an Action Type of "Menu" there is a parameter called "Icon Name". According to the Forms Personalization documentation (279034.1) the definition for this field is:
"Icon Name: Specify an optional icon name that you want added to the Toolbar to achieve the same functionality as in the special pulldown menu entry"
I tried specifying one of the icons in the directory you mention below: afattach.gif (even tried just afattach) to see if that would render on the Toolbar, but no luck.
Any thoughts on what is required for this field?
Thanks
