How to abort tasks in a Dynamic Action when apex.confirm = Cancel

I have a text field that has a Dynamic Action attached to it. When the field is changed, the Dynamic Action fires. There are 6 separate tasks in that Dynamic Action.
The very first task is a call to apex.confirm. I want to make sure that the user understand the implications of changing the value in this field. So, up pops the dialog, the user reads the information, and decides to click OK or Cancel.
If OK is clicked, I want to continue through the rest of the tasks in the Dynamic Action. If CANCEL is clicked, I want to just abort out of the Dynamic Action.
Is that possible?
Apex 4.1.1.00.23
Edited by: Mark T. on Mar 1, 2012 9:49 AM

Yes, I do see a different behavior.
I've set up an app on apex.oracle.com, #60312. Workspace is mavericksolutions. Login pwolf. Password A1B2C3 change on first login.
The first field is tied to a dynamic action. The first task in the DA is an apex.confirm. Type something into the first field then click TAB to bring up the dialog box. Whether I click OK or click CANCEL, the 2nd task is still occurring. It appears that the only difference is that if I click OK, I also get a submit of the page.
What I want, in fact, is twofold:
1. If I click CANCEL, then STOP the execution of the remainder of the tasks in the Dynamic Action.
2. If I click OK, go ahead and process the rest of the tasks in the Dynamic Action, but DO NOT SUBMIT.
Basically, I want to ask the user if it's OK to go ahead and make the on-screen changes, but I do NOT want to do an auto-save. I want the user to look at the results on the screen and click the actual SAVE (or CREATE) button after ensuring their accuracy. Right now, it appears that the apex.confirm is firing a page submit when I click OK (the fields get cleared out). I don't want that page submit.
I THINK I can accomplish goal #1 with a workaround, by splitting the DA into two pieces. Piece #1 would have only the confirmation dialog. Piece #2 would be fired from the same field change, would have a sequence number AFTER piece #1, and would be conditional on the value of the expression returned by the apex.confirm. So if the apex.confirm returned 'DOTHIS' when I click OK, I would look to see if Expression = DOTHIS for piece #2. If not, then piece #2 wouldn't fire.
The remaining trouble, then, is that if I click OK to fire piece #2, the page submit will subsequently fire following the completion of piece #2. And no matter what, I definitely do NOT want a page submit. Is there a function similar to apex.confirm that does not do a page submit?
Anyway, take a look at the app. It's not performing the way that I anticipated, which is the same behavior that you described. I expected that it would do exactly what you said. Alas...

Dynamic Action in APEX 3.1.2

Hi All,
I am trying to achieve dynamic action in apex 3.1.2 without refreshing the page. I have 2 pages, In page 1 I am opening page 2 which returns an html text to an hidden value which is working fine up to this part. I am trying to show the return html tag using display item. So I am trying achieve this using following code, but is not working please help me.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type = "text/javascript" >
function refreshdata()
{ var tmp = new htmldb_Get();
tmp.add('P123_DISPLAY_HTML'', $v('P123_DISPLAY_HTML''));
tmp.get();
$('#DISPLAY_HTML').trigger('apexrefresh');
</script>
I have added “DISPLAY_HTML'” as div in of display item like this.
Pre element text
<div id="DISPLAY_HTML">
Post element text
</div>
It is displaying text if I manually refresh the page which I want to avoid.
Anyone’s help is much appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Your code just set item P123_DISPLAY_HTML value to session state.
It do not call any on demand process that could return something.
Below code do not do anything else than trigger custom event in APEX 3.x. There is nothing out of box that bind to that event.
$('# DISPLAY_HTML').trigger('apexrefresh');Maybe this old Carl's blog post help you to right direction

Dynamic Action on apex items

Hi,
I have a requirement like after entering the date of birth in the item. then age value should be set dynamically.
how can i set the value?

Hi Tulasi,
Follow the below steps
Click on create button-Dynamic action
select Advanced type
Give some name
event - On change
selection type - item
item(s) - your page item(used to select date of birth)
condition - no condition
action - Execute PL/SQL code
Fire on page load - blank
PL/SQL code -
declare
v_age varchar2(100);
v_dob date;
v_sysdate date;
begin
select sysdate into v_sysdate from dual;
v_dob := :P1_DOB; //here P1_dob is a page item from where i am selecting date of birth.
select trunc(to_char((v_sysdate - v_dob)/365)) into v_age from dual;
:P1_AGE := v_age; // i have created one item named P1_AGE to display the calculated age.
end;Page Items to Submit = P1_DOB // replace with your datepicker page item
Page Items to Return = P1_AGE // replace with your item.
Hope this will give you some idea.
Thanks and Regards,

Dynamic Action in Apex - Select list to Text field

Hi,
I have two text items. Need to create dynamic action for the following,
1. Order_type - Drop down values having CONSUMER & WHOLESALE.
2. Order_number - Text field
When a user selects CONSUMER, order number should automatically change to '1-' and user can enter only 14 characters (1-236666666666).
When a user selects WHOLESALE, order number should automatically change to '2-' and user can enter only 12 characters (2-2155555555).
Can someone please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gayathri,
Gayathri Venugopal wrote:
Thanks Kiran. Actually ,order number should be disabled. only on selection of order type, order number should be enabled, how do I do that?can you please help
I can do fire on page load and disable order number .But how do i enable it again on selection of order number
    Let's say '1-' is prefix for Order Number when Order Type is 'CONSUMER' and '2-' is the prefix for Order Number when Order Type is 'WHOLESALE'.
    So a solution to your issue would be:
Go to Page Attributes -> CSS -> Inline CSS and add the following class:
.item_disabled {
cursor: default;
opacity: 0.5;
filter: alpha(opacity=50);
pointer-events: none;
Create three elements PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE, PXX_ORDERNUM_SUF(as text Items) and PXX_ORDER_NUMBER(as hidden. Set Value Protected -> No).
Arrange the PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE and PXX_ORDERNUM_SUF on one row.
Set the "HTML Form Element Attributes" for PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE to this:
readonly="true"
Set the "HTML Form Element CSS Classes" for PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE to this:
item_disabled
    NOTE : The above two points are to make the PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE element readonly, because if we disable the element we can't assign it a value.
On the change event of PXX_ORDER_TYPE select list create dynamic action to populate PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE (as mentioned earlier)
var ordertype = $('#P11_ORDER_TYPE').val();
if (ordertype === 'CONSUMER') {
$('#P11_ORDER_NUMBER_PRE').val('1-');
} else if (ordertype === 'WHOLESALE') {
$('#P11_ORDER_NUMBER_PRE').val('2-');
Create an on-submit computation to concatenate PXX_ORDERNUM_PRE and PXX_ORDERNUM_SUF into PXX_ORDER_NUMBER.
Create validation on PXX_ORDERNUM_SUF, if PXX_ORDER_TYPE is 'CONSUMER' the length should be 12 characters, if 'WHOLESALE' the length should be 10 characters.(excluding 2 characters of prefix).
     So this covers the following:
On change of Order Type, Order Number Prefix should be set.
Order Number Prefix should be not able to be modified, but the rest of Order Number should be able to be entered by user.
Order Number should be of specific length depending upon the Order Type.
     Hope this helps!

Kiran

If it is just to prompt the User to change the benfits, you can use the AFTER_INPUT method in the BAdI HRPAD00INFTY.

Dynamic Action in APEX 4.2

Hi,
I try to use dynamic action but I cannot find the right event.
The following:
If the current -- v(APP_USER) - user is in group Administrator then the Items Name, Userid, Password, Group shold be editable else only the Password should be editable.
In P0_GROUP there is the group of the current user.
The page to show the Items is P6_NAME, P6_USERID ...
I cannot find an action to start for example a PL/SQL funktion which return true or false. And what event is correct (page load?)

SiegwinFirstly why are you using a dynamic action to achieve this?
You should use read only attribute on those page items, See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/bldapp_item.htm#HTMDB28297

Dynamic actions in apex 5.0

I have upgraded an application to apex 5.0 and have a few bugs related to dynamic actions.
It seems that even when the "page items to submit" field has been filled in the session state/item value is not updated and consequently can not be used in the dyamic action. (its possible I had set this manually via js in the html attributes but if so then this was lost due to conversion..possible but it seems less likely.)
Has anyone had a similar experience or know of a way to fix this?

Hi,
as already pointed out the above code isn't really a JavaScript Expression, because it doesn't return anything. APEX 4.2 and previous versions where more forgiving, because they used eval to execute that dynamic JavaScript code. Eval is very forgiving and also accepts code which doesn't return anything. Because of security best practices, APEX 5.0 isn't making use of eval anymore and expects that the JavaScript expression is really an expression and not a JavaScript code block. Please see the documented change of behavior '4.24 Dynamic Action Set Value Action Set Type JavaScript Expression More Strict' in our Release Notes at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39143/toc.htm#HTMRN310
In my opinion the above dynamic action should actually be of type 'Execute JavaScript Code' instead of 'Set Value'. Because that's what it's actually doing.
You can run the following SQL Statement in SQL Commands to get an idea which dynamic actions might be affected by this change of behavior. It searches for multi line JavaScript Expressions.
select page_id,
       page_name,
       dynamic_action_name,
       action_name,
       attribute_05
from apex_application_page_da_acts
where application_id = 96695
   and action_code = 'NATIVE_SET_VALUE'
   and attribute_01 = 'JAVASCRIPT_EXPRESSION'
   and instr( attribute_05, chr(10) ) > 0
order by page_id, dynamic_action_name;
Sorry for the inconvenience this security change has caused for you.

Triggering Dynamic actions when updating an Infotype using a FM

Hi all,
This is the scenario.
I am trying to run a Transfer action, (80), which updates the Infotype 0000 and Infotype 0001. When the entry in the Infotype 0001 is saved, a dynamic action is triggered and a custom infotype is updated automatically. I need to find a FM that takes care of any dynamic actins associated to an Infotype.
I tried using a BDC, but I was not successful. While using the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION, I am able to update the data into the infotyes 0000 and 0001 but the dnamic action is not triggered. Can someone please suggest a solution.
Thanks,
Amar

How can I add my own dynamic flash to Apex Applcation?

Hi all,
Can I add my own flash to Apex applcation and enable the flash to communicate with my applcation using XML?
I want to customise the action of my flash. The flash will get a xml from a PL/SQL procedure just as flash charts get xml from apex_util_flash.
Is it possible to call a PL/SQL procedure or an apex application process from a flash?
Is there another way of doing this?
thanks

I haven't tried any coding experience in flash , so my answer would be a bit vague.
But I am basing my logic on this thread Calling PHP function from Flash (it says PHP but the code example involves a server request from flash)
Set up an Application process that returns your XML (as the server response using ht.p)
// object which sends to php
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// object that receives
var load_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// the load_lv accepting variables
load_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
    if(success)
             //Do your thing here
             //Parse the XML in flash using this valiable as the source
        else
            trace("load error goes here")
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "wwv_flow.show",
data: {
p_flow_id : $v('pFlowId'),
p_instance : $v('pInstance'),
p_flow_step_id : 1,
p_request : ""
//This section is based on the documented server request format using jQuery (given in comments above)
// send_lv sending out variables and instructing the returned variables to go to load_lv
send_lv.p_flow_id = <fetch page element value of pFlowId> //corresponding to $v('pFlowId')
send_lv.p_instance = <fetch page element value of pInstance> //corresponding to $v('pInstance')
send_lv.p_flow_step_id = <page number>
send_lv.p_request = 'ON Demand Application Process Name'
send_lv.sendAndLoad("wwv_flow.show",load_lv,"POST");-------------------------------------------
You might also be interested in this flash library named SWFHttpRequest Flash/Ajax Utility
Apparently, it adds a JavaScript object for performing XMLHttpRequest-like requests fro flash.
Hence you should be able to use you standard javascript like Ajax request using that.
Else check for similar libraries for flash/give the server request section of your flash documentation a good read.
You might have to play around a bit with the code and your flash documentation to get it working , but I hope this would have given you some pointers.

How to redirect to a page dynamically after authentication Apex

We have developed an application and the application id is 333.
we have developed a login screen(page No. 111).
After login Company page (Page No.1) will appear where the user selects the company name.
Once company is selected, the control goes to Menu Page(Page No.10). The menu will be displayed based on the user rights.
In shared Components - Authentication scheme,
     In session Not Valid region, URL option is selected and URL is assigned as "we have given "f?p=&APP_ID.:111:&SESSION."
     In Logout URL, URL option is enabled and URL is assigned as "f?p=&APP_ID.:111"
In shared Components - Security Attributes,
     In Authentication region, in HOME link "f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION." is assigned
In login page (Page No. 111), we have created a process "On Submit - After computation and validations".
     in that
          we are checking a condition like
          if the user has access to Only one company then he will be redirected to Menu_page(Page No.10).
          if the user has access to more than one company then he will be redirected to Company Page(Page No.1).
if "No. of company access" =1 then
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login (p_uname => :p111_username,
p_password => :p111_password,
p_session_id => v ('APP_SESSION'),
p_flow_page => :app_id||':10'
else
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login (p_uname => :p111_username,
p_password => :p111_password,
p_session_id => v ('APP_SESSION'),
p_flow_page => :app_id||':1'
end if;
The above condition is not working. ie. it is always loading Company Page(Page No.1) even if the user has access to one company alone.
Can anyone point out the place where I have done wrong. Or please suggest me a method to achieve the above said task.

Hi User490632,
During the login,
it using the custom authentication function which I mentioned below,
*create or replace FUNCTION custom_auth_g (
p_username IN VARCHAR2,
p_password IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN (SELECT 1
FROM login_table
WHERE upper(username) = upper(p_username)
AND upper(password) = upper(p_password))
LOOP
RETURN TRUE;
END LOOP;
RETURN FALSE;
END;*
its working fine, If I give the username and password which exist in the table login_table.
Now I need to redirect to 2 different pages.
if the username is 'guru' then when he clicked the login button he has to redirect to page 2,
if username is any other name except 'guru' they have to be redirected to page 3.
Can you please give the step by step procedure to follow?
Thank you.

Need to know how records can be deleted from a talbe when user hits cancel report

In my report I am inserting some records in to a table in the before report trigger and deleting in after report trigger.
If the user hits the cancel report when the report is processing the records in the records never gets deleted from the table.
If anyone knows how this can be done, please help me.
Thanks in advance.

If your database is 8.1.6, you can try to use temporary tables. The data inside them is automatically deleted when the session (report) ends.
Also the data is private for each session, so no other user can see the data you have in the temporary table.
Did you think about the situation when two users will run the report at the same time? How are you handling this (the fact that their data may be scrambled...) The Oracle temporary table eliminates this possibility.

Regards,

Hi JTan414,
I have check the expression you have provided and there are many incorrect using of this expression, please check and do some modification as below:
For the MonthName function you should follow the grammar like:
=MonthName(10,True)
=MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value),False)
="The month of your birthday is " & MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value))
You have add the dataset name "DealStarts" at the wrong place, it should like below:
=Last(MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value)),"DealStarts")
or
=Last(MonthName(Fields!IntegerValueField.Value),"DealStarts")
This will return the last value from the dataset
There is no function named launchdate, expression "launchdate ("RowofTrendingVisibility")" is incorrect and you shouldn't add the datasetname in this way.
If the expression involved of conditions from two different datasets, limit kinds of functions will support to use:
=Last(Fields!BirthDate.Value,"DataSetName")
=First(Fields!BirthDate.Value,"DataSetName")
More details information about how to use expression in SSRS:
Expression Examples (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you still have any problem, please try to provide more details information about your requirements and also some sample data.

Set value in tabular form field with dynamic action

Hi Guys,
I have a dummy field in a tabular form which I am trying to use to populate another field in the tabular form when it is changed.
In the tabular form I have an ITEM_ID field. Each item_id has an ITEM_NAME which is the dummy field as it is not a field in the database table.
When the user enters an item name, I would like something like a dynamic action to fire, populating the ITEM_ID.
e.g User enters part no ABC into the dummy field. When they tab out, I want the value to the item_id field on the tabular form row to be populated based on a SQL query in a similar fashion to how it can be done with dynamic actions on text items on a form.
I am using APEX v4.0.0
Thanks in advance
Chris

Hello Chris,
Why can't you use Select List Item on tabular form, which will display all item_names and return item_ids?
If the list is huge and you need users to type & search, then you can use Pop-up LOV item.

Hari
