How to build forms which retrieve multiple records

Hi everyone,
I am newbie to APEX.I have a question in FORM building in APEX.In oracle FORMS(6i) has the capability to search with any fileld on it . there is
an option to search
data with the id or department or name field.If it retrieves more than one record there
is navigation controls to move from one record to another.
Can we build same kind of FORMS in APEX .I didnt find any wizard to build such kind of
FORM which has both inserting and querying capability.
I found one option for that in apex (FROM with report).In the report section i can query
for the records and link to FORM which populates all the data in the FORM. Is that the
only option do we have in APEX to build the forms which gives multiple records as
output.
anyone plz help me in solving this
thank u

can anyone please help me in solving this issue,
Is it possible to build such kind of forms with retrieves multiple records in APEX.
Thanks

Retrieve multiple records of Business Object in a Application Service?

Hi,
I am working on CE71.
I want to know how to retrieve multiple records of a Business Object in a Application Service?
Regards,
Rahul

Hi,
This can be achieved by adding find method on one or multiple attributes of the business object.
Suppose There is a customer business object with attributes (name, id , city, country ). Now you can add findByCity operation that will return all the Customer Objects which have the City = as entered by user.
Now this find operation can then be called by your application service and this list can then be returned as output of the application service.
Hope this helps,

Hi Prashant,

Single Form Erroneously Creating Multiple Records

I've created a form that uses several pages, with different fields of the form on each page. The pages branch from one to the next depending on the choices made by the user, mostly using a regular select list or a radiogroup with submit. The problem I'm having is that some fields are being populated in one record on one page, and then the information entered by the user on the next page, for another column, creates a new record, so that every time a user would be finished making a complete entry into the form, multiple records have been created, with null fields in each from where those fields were populated, but in a different record. How can I make sure that only one record is created by the user each time they use this form?

Basically the way the page is designed is that there are only three main pages the user will see. 1) The login page then 2) The main menu page, and then 3) The page where they input the information that should populate the remainder of the fields in that record in the table.
The login page simply allows the user to access the menu page, and submits no data. The main menu page consists of 5 fields. Three of them are text fields, the fourth is a date field with a date picker. The fifth field is a radiogroup with submit that has 5 options which branch to 5 respective pages. Upon selecting an option from the radiogroup, these fields submit their data to the table and redirect the user to whichever page was designated by their choice.
This brings up the third page. Most of these other 5 pages consist simply of 4 fields; two required select lists, one required textarea field, and one nonrequired textarea field. Anyway, the problem occurs because instead of populating the remaining fields in the same record, each page with information to submit creates a new record.
I realize that the preceding may not be any additional relevant info., but I thought that if anything, there may be a better way to do that anyway. I thought that maybe editing the "Process" in the Page Definition could be where I need to change something, but I'm not sure how.
Right now my "Process Point" is set as "On Submit - After Computations and Validations," and my "Run Process" is set as the default "Once Per Page Visit." These settings are the same on every page on which I have fields that submit data; however, one difference I noticed is in the process editing interface for the initial menu page, the "Name" says "Insert row into USER_INPUT (table name) with a "Type" of "PL/SQL Anonymous Block", whereas all the other pages processes are named "Process row of USER_INPUT" with a type of "Automatic Row Processing (DML)." Am I even close to where I need to be looking to find the solution to this problem? Sorry for the novel I just wrote, but if there's any additional info. I can provide, just let me know.

Generate Query in PLSQL to return Well Formed XML with Multiple records

Hi there
This is very urgent. I am trying to create a PLSQL query that should retrieve all records from oracle database table "tbl_Emp" in a well formed xml format. The format is given below
*<Employees xmlns="http://App.Schemas.Employees" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">*
*<Employee>*
*<First_Name></First_Name>*
*<Last_Name></Last_Name>*
*</Employee>*
*<Employee>*
*<First_Name></First_Name>*
*<Last_Name></Last_Name>*
*</Employee>*
*</Employees>*
To retrieve data in above format, I have been trying to create a query for long time as below
SELECT XMLElement("Employees",
XMLAttributes('http://App.Schemas.Employees' AS "xmlns",
*'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"),*
XMLElement("Employee", XMLForest(First_Name, Last_Name)))
AS "RESULT"
FROM tbl_Emp;
But it does not give me the required output. It creates <Employees> tag with each individual record which I don't need. I need <Employees> tag to be the root tag and <Employee> tag to repeat and wrap each individual record. Please help me in this as this is very urgent. Thanks.

Hi,
Please remember that nothing is "urgent" here, and repeating that it is will likely produce the opposite effect.
If you need a quick answer, provide all necessary details in the first place :
- db version
- test case with sample data and DDL
That being said, this one's easy, you have to aggregate using XMLAgg :
SELECT XMLElement("Employees"
       , XMLAttributes(
           'http://App.Schemas.Employees' AS "xmlns"
         , 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"
       , XMLAgg(
           XMLElement("Employee"
           , XMLForest(
               e.first_name as "First_Name"
             , e.last_name as "Last_Name"
       ) AS "RESULT"
FROM hr.employees e

Create a button say lable "delete" in a block other than the block from where u want to delete records.
suppose the block's name is emp_blk
now create a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESS trigger for delete button and write the following code
begin
go_block('emp_blk');
first_record;
loop
if :emp_blk.d ='X' then
delete_record;
end if;

JSP, Data tags, How to build a form edit with multiple records

Hi, I'm using Jdev 9i.
I would like to have a JSP form where I can update, delete, insert records displayed in the same page.
I know that I can use the data tag jbo:DataEdit to do it, but it only works with a single record, I want to have several records in the same page, displayed horizontally.
The best example is a form to add items in an invoice:
Productid description quantity price
1001 xxx 10 20.00
1002 yyy 15 30.00
1003 zzz 7 10.00
Could you give some help please?
Thanks in advance.

The form display is dictated by how you process the submit. I would build the form by using standard html tags. Here is another pseudo example:
<FORM ACTION="target.jsp" >
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
DeptNo
</TD>
<TD>
DName
</TD>
<TR>
<%
int nRow = 0;
%>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="ds">
<%
// increment the row number
nRow++;
String sDeptno = "Deptno" + nRow;
String sDname = "Dname" + nRow;
String sRowKey = "RowKey" + nRow;
%>
<jbo:Row id="myrow" action="current">
<TR>
<TD>
<input type="text" name="<%=sDeptno%>" value='<jbo:ShowValue dataitem="Deptno" />' />
</TD>
<TD>
<input type="text" name="<%=sDname%>" value='<jbo:ShowValue dataitem="Dname" />' />
<input type="text" name="<%=sRowKey%>" value='<jbo:ShowValue dataitem="RowKey" />' />
</TD>
<TR>
</jbo:Row>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
<input type="submit" />
</TABLE>
</FORM>
NOTE: This should get you started!!!

try to understand your question,
you installed 11i in linux
you installed forms/report developer suite in the same server
you want to connect from forms/report to 11i database?
If above my understanding is correct, you can create entry in tnsname.ora and connect it.

How to build query which list only active PC's

Hi guys,
I have to install SCCM client on many devices in my enviroment. Unfortunately, SCCM has found amny devices which still have accounts in AD but are not used for looong time. I would like to list only devices, which hasen't installed SCCM client yet but are
active in my enviroment.
That is possible? If yes, that will be glad to hear how build this query.
Thank you.

If you don't want those not used devices, why don't you stop discovering them. In the
Active Directory System Discovery there is a tab Options
in which you can configure to not discover computers account that have not been used.

I agree with this, but maybe this kind of info about ground-up building can go in a wiki.
I mentioned this dep cycle topic in #archlinux-arm:
2013-02-14 11:13:18 @WarheadsSE tdy, they will want to drop from deps, then rebuild w/ them back in
2013-02-14 11:14:03 tdy yea, that seems to be the easiest way.. e.g. build cairo w/o svg, build the chain, then rebuild cairo with svg
2013-02-14 11:14:12 @WarheadsSE yup
2013-02-14 11:14:31 @WarheadsSE thats a very simplified method of how we fix spaghetti monsters
Maybe you can check with them to see if they've kept some documentation about build orders or any tips in general.

How to find forms which have associate a DFF

Hi all,
I need to look for all forms with a DFF associate, but I don't know how to looka for it.
I try to made a "find" from my unix machine but it doesn't work.
Any idea about it?
Thanks,
bpf

Hi,
Every form having a DFF would have the DFF definition under the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE (fnd_flex.define('Items')) where the item name and the DFF name are associated. Please get the FMT file which is the ASCII format of FMB. I am not very sure whether the fnd_flex.define(dff_name) is shown in FMT. Please open one of these and check. Thereafter grep on this should help.
Thanks

Problem in retrieving multiple records SAP xMII from SAP using BAPIS

Hi friends,
In SAP xMII i called BAPI_USER_GETLIST by passing import parameters 10 and y.In r/3 BAPI returned 10 rows but In xMII it was returned only one Record.
i want to display 10 records in sap xmii
1) I created to connection ECC5 in Dataservices-->SAPSERVERConfiguration
2)In BLS we placed JCO Interface inside Sequence
3)In BLS I used ECC5 connectrion(using JCO Interface) and called BAPI_USER_GELLIST
4)In Links-->Transaction created two input values for "maxnoofrows","withusername" and output value is "userid".
Input what i mapped
Transaction>"maxnoofrows" =====SAPJCOINTERFACE->Request>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>INPUT-->MAX_ROWS
Transaction>"withusername" =====SAPJCOINTERFACE->Request>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>INPUT-->WITH_USERNAME
Output what i mapped
SAPJCOINTERFACE->Response>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>TABELS>USERLITS >ITEM>USERNAME=====Transaction-->userid
5)Saved the Transaction.
6)In Query Template -->xactuateQuery selected
7)In Datasource Query mode was selected ,Inputrarams i passed 10 and y as parameters.
It was returned one user id from R/3 inSAP xMII
please help me to retrive all 10 rows from r/3
Regards
Srikanth

hi,
What is the data type of Transaction output (userid)?
Make this as XML type.
The format which BAPI returns the result does not match with xMII XML format.
Create a xMII XML document and configure with column name as userid. and by using repeater and XML row add all tho values to the document. Then assign whole doument to transaction output.
Hope this will help to resolve the issue.

How to build what a parent child record looked like from audit history

I've got a simple parent child relationship (eg DEPT/EMP) and I have audit triggers on the 2 tables that log any changes. The 2 tables are seen by the User as 1 entity, so if an EMP record changes, that is essentially a DEPT change. I want to show a record where the info shown is correct at that particular point in time.
Now for a very crude example to illustrate...
So, says it's 9:00 and we have:
Dept 1=Sales
Emp 1=Clark
Emp 2=Smith
Now we change Emp 1 at 9:01 to Smythe
Next we change Dept 2 at 9:02 to Sales UK
Next we add Emp 3=Jones at 9:04
Next we change Emp1 at 9:05 to Clarke
So now if the User looks at the history of Dept 1 they will see it has changed at the following times:
9:01 (emp change)
9:02 (dept change)
9:04 (emp change)
9:05 (emp change)
even though the actual Dept table was only changed once.
This part is easy enough to extract but the next part I'm struggling to get my head around (must be Friday afternoon!).
The User wants to be able to view what the "Dept" looked like at the time of the change. So we would get the following results:
9:00 Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smith (as per original data)
9:01 Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smythe
9:02 Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smythe
9:04 Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smythe, Emp 3=Jones
9:05 Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clarke, Emp 2=Smythe, Emp 3=Jones
I'm trying to write a bit of SQL to do this but the tricky bit comes in due to having 2 different tables that have triggered the change to a "DEPT". I see the output as being as many rows as there are children, so the raw output for the above summary would be along the lines of:
9:00, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark
9:00, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 2=Smith
9:01, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark
9:01, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 2=Smythe
9:02, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark
9:02, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 2=Smythe
9:04, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark
9:04, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 2=Smythe
9:04, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 3=Jones
9:05, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clarke
9:05, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 2=Smythe
9:05, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 3=Jones
Any help appreciated!!
An alternative to all this is to make my trigger on each table populate this info (ie write whatever is currently in place) into a table structured as I have mentioned above (so Dept i denormalised) but that looks to be a bit messy.

Two tables, Dept and Emp. Both have audit triggers inserting into it's own audit table.
create or replace table DEPT(
dept_no number,
dept_name varchar2(50),
dept_city varchar2(50));
create or replace table EMP(
emp_no number,
emp_surname varchar2(100),
emp_firstname varchar2(50),
emp_dept_no number);dept_no pk of DEPT
emp_no pk of EMP
emp_dept_no FK from EMP to DEPT.dept_no
create or replace table DEPT_AUDIT(
dept_no number,
dept_name varchar2(50),
dept_city varchar2(50),
audit_date_time date);
create or replace table EMP_AUDIT(
emp_no number,
emp_surname varchar2(100),
emp_firstname varchar2(50),
emp_dept_no number,
audit_date_time date)
create or replace trigger dept_audit
after insert or update
on dept for each row
begin
insert into dept_audit(dept_no, dept_name, dept_city, audit_date_time)
values(:NEW.dept_no, :NEW.dept_name, :NEW.dept_city, sysdate);
end;
create or replace trigger emp_audit
after insert or update
on emp for each row
begin
insert into emp_audit(emp_no, emp_surname, emp_firstname, emp_dept_no, audit_date_time)
values(:NEW.emp_no, :NEW.emp_surname, :NEW.emp_firstname, :NEW.emp_dept_no, sysdate);
end;My above example (ignoring that the columns don't match up but hopefully you get the drift) would end up with the following results in the 2 audit tables:
DEPT_AUDIT
9:00 Dept 1=Sales (insert)
9:02 Dept 1=Sales UK (update)
EMP_AUDIT
9:00 Emp 1=Clark (insert)
9:00 Emp 2=Smith (insert)
9:01 Emp 2=Smythe (update)
9:04 Emp 3=Jones (insert)
9:05 Emp 1=Clarke (update)
As I said originally, I want to get a view of what the "DEPT" looked like at a particular time and to do this I need to take into account the EMP changes for the DEPT which is why my results would be as follows:
9:00 Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smith
9:01 Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smythe
9:02 Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smythe
9:04 Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark, Emp 2=Smythe, Emp 3=Jones
9:05 Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clarke, Emp 2=Smythe, Emp 3=Jones
Though what I really want is the rows that make it up like:
9:00, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark
9:00, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 2=Smith
9:01, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 1=Clark
9:01, Dept 1=Sales, Emp 2=Smythe
9:02, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark
9:02, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 2=Smythe
9:04, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clark
9:04, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 2=Smythe
9:04, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 3=Jones
9:05, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 1=Clarke
9:05, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 2=Smythe
9:05, Dept 1=Sales UK, Emp 3=Jones
Hope that is a bit clearer.
thanks for taking time to look.

How to build Form or Report on different table name

Hi,
I want to know, is it possible to query data from a different tables with same structure.
For example:
I have tables tableA, tableB ....
What I want is to select table name from combo box and
after that to query data for the chosen table.
So is it possible anyway to build a form or report without knowing the table name during the design ?
Thanks

Hello Boris,
The way you can make this work is like this:
You need to create a view (say vw_2Tables)whose source is like
select "table_A" tableName, col1,col2,... from table_A
union
select "table_B" tableName, col1,col2,... from table_B
Then create the Report based on this view:
select tableName, col1, col2
from vw_2tables
where tableName = :P_tablename;
This will make the Portal create a bind parameter for you.
Create an LOV whose Select statement is
select "table_A" tableName from dual
union
select "table_B" tableName from dual
And add this LOV to the bind parameter source in Report
(in Customization Tab).
You need to run this Report in customize mode
(if your report name is say Rep_1
then this will be http://...../Rep_1.show_parm)
Hope this helps
