How to show text instead of blank value in SelectOneChoice list.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to show some string like 'Please Select Value' instead of blank item in the select one choice list. So instead on blank value, this string will be displayed in the choice list and if user doesnt select any value it should be treated as normal blank value and validation should be fired.
May I know is there any property which we can set declaratively or any workaround for this?
My JDev version : 11.1.1.7.0
Many thank in advance.
Regards,
Dileep.

Hi,
In the VO list of values, check "Include no selection item", choose "Labelled item first of the list" from the drop down and give your custom label.
Thanks

Showing zero instead of blank values

Is there an easy way to show a zero for everytime a NULL value is shown in a pivot table? Also in the pivot chart if a bar chart is being used, is it possible to chart the zero value on the axis?
Thank you much!

Do you see it working in Table View? Confirm that the data are really "nulls" and not something else. What is the format type of the column? Basically, once the "easy answer" doesn't fit your situation, provide more details of your particular circumstance. Don't just say "It doesn't work." There must be something about your situation that makes this solution ineffective.

Discoverer 10.1.2.55.26 Viewer Shows NULL instead of Blank

Hello All,
we recently installed Discoverer 10.1.2.55.26 and applied cumulative patches(CM4). we migrated 9.04 version reports to Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.55.26).
On all the Reports, we see NULL instead of Blank spaces in the data in the viewer. How can we change all of the reports to show blank space instead of NULL.
Please share your experience and thoughts on this Issue
Thank you
Chandu Ambati

Thank you Tamir,
Before i try on the big bang approach. I tried changing the worksheet options for one of the worksheet that shows NULL.
I changed from NULL to blank space and saved the workbook.
we use Oracle Portal to show these workbooks as Portal Views. Portal View was showing NULL before the change, and after changing the worksheet options and saving it, i refreshed the portal view and it started showing Blank instead of NULL. Works fine for that day.
The next Day again it started showing NULL.
Do u think are we missing any step?
Thanks again for your help.

How to display texts automatic. besides entered value for a field in Trans.

How to display texts automatically besides the entered value for a field in a standard transaction screen. For example you have a value table and a text table associated to it. Then on entering the value field and pressing enter the text associated should get displayed immediately besides the value. Like if you have 'LOC' as the value and 'Location' as the text associated to it, on entering this value 'LOC', you automatically get the text 'Location' printed besides it automatically in a transaction screen ?

Hi sarika,
Welcome to SDN.
1. first of all, such display of text,
   is not automatic.
   (it appears to be automatic)
2. At design time,
   a) take one extra field for text
     and mark it as OUTPUT ONLY
3. Then in PBO coding,
    call some module, and in that module
    write code
4. The code should be to
   select from TEXT Table
   into the work area.
EG. THE SCREEN TEXT FIELD NAME IS
T510A-FIELDNAME.
CLEAR t510a.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t510a INTO t510a
WHERE trfar = FIELVALUE.
5. This will take care of
   displaying the text value of that field.
regards,
amit m.

Reading text file and display in the selectOnechoice list item In ADF.

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the text field which have list of strings and that string display in the SelectOneChoice List item component on page load.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3 version.
Any suggestion will highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi,
Google will produce you with hints on how to read content of a file from Java (ideally the file uses some delimiter). Then in a managed bean, you read the file and save its content in a list of SelectItem. So your managed bean should have the following property and setter/getter pairs
ArrayList<SelectItem> listFromFile = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
public void setListFromFile(ArrayList l){ //you don't need this }
public ArrayList<SelectItem> getListFromFile(){
   //read file content and iterate over the file list entries
for(i=0, i < fileContent.length, ++i){
     SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
     si.setValue(... the value to update the list of value with ...);
     si.setLabel("... the label to show in the list ...");
     listFromFile.add(si);
return listFromFile;
}The af:selectOneChoice component should look as follows
<af:selectOneChoice id=".." value="...attribute to update with selection ..." ...>
   <f:selectItems value="#{managedBean.listFromFile}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>Frank

How do i show descriptions instead of dimension values at presentations ?

We are facing a problem that could be a BIBeans problem or could be an OLAP problem, please inform if to change forum:
We are using jdev 903/BIB903 accessing an AW created at Oracle OLAP 9205 with AWM.
All our dimensions were created at OWB 10g and deployed to RDBMS following the general rules below:
DIM X
ID_X - sequence primary key
CD_X - original key from source systems
DS_X, NM_X, and so on - description fields and hierarchy fields related to this record.
i.e.:
SQL> desc dim_rota
Name Null? Type
ID_ROTA NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
CD_EMPRESA NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
CD_FILIAL NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
CD_ROTA NOT NULL VARCHAR2(3)
NM_FILIAL NOT NULL VARCHAR2(40)
NM_ROTA NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
CD_SETOR NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
ID_SETOR NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
NM_SETOR NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
this dimension has 1 hierarchy with 2 levels called SETOR and ROTA.
when we generated the AW using AWM, each field (except ID) is created as a variable dimensioned by DIM_ROTA, as shown below:
->listby dim_rota
35 objects dimensioned by or related to DIM_ROTA in analytic workspace AW1
DIM_ROTA_CD_EMPRESA
DIM_ROTA_CD_FILIAL
DIM_ROTA_CD_ROTA
DIM_ROTA_CD_SETOR
DIM_ROTA_CREATEDBY
DIM_ROTA_FAMILYREL
DIM_ROTA_GID
DIM_ROTA_INHIER
DIM_ROTA_LEVELCOLMAP
DIM_ROTA_LEVELREL
DIM_ROTA_NM_FILIAL
DIM_ROTA_NM_ROTA
DIM_ROTA_NM_SETOR
DIM_ROTA_ORDER
DIM_ROTA_PARENTREL
ID field was concatenated with level name to generate the dimension value - so, for the following relational record:
SQL> select id_rota, cd_rota, nm_rota from dim_rota where ID_ROTA = 233;
ID_ROTA CD_ROTA NM_ROTA
233 A99 A99-Consig. Sup. Setor A
we have at multidimensional side:
->LIMIT DIM_ROTA TO 'ROTA.233'
->rpr dim_rota
DIM_ROTA
ROTA.233
->dsc dim_rota_nm_rota
DEFINE DIM_ROTA_NM_ROTA VARIABLE TEXT <DIM_ROTA DIM_ROTA_HIERLIST ALL_LANGUAGES>
LD IMPLEMENTATION NM_ROTA Attribute for DIM_ROTA Dimension
->rpr down dim_rota w 30 dim_rota_nm_rota
ALL_LANGUAGES: AMERICAN_AMERICA
-------DIM_ROTA_NM_ROTA-------
------DIM_ROTA_HIERLIST-------
DIM_ROTA ROTA
ROTA.233 A99-Consig. Sup. Setor A
here comes our question: how do we show at BIBeans designer/presentations the related descriptive fields and NOT the dimension values themselves?
thanks in advance,
Flavio

There a re two additional attributes that need to be mapped within OWB for each dimension:
Long Description - this is used by the presentation beans and query and calc builder to replace the dimension values with more meaningful/end-user friendly descriptions
Short Descriptions - this can be used where the long description is too long for display purposes. In BI Beans 10g Release 2 (due out soon) you will be able to select between long/short descriptions when using many of the new tags.
These new attributes will be automatically picked up by the OLAP Bridge in OWB and automatically added to the OLAP catalog.
Hope this helps

How to have image instead of blank player screen

How can I have an image instead of a blank screen show on the

How to get Text instead of key in a ListBox or DropDown

Hi,
I have a Listbox Country and I would like to get the Country name selected instead of key.
for example if i select India , i am getting corresponding key value for India not the actual text India.
How would i get that
I am using this.rawValue to get the key
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Hi Bala,
Have you tried this:
Place the following JavaScript code on the Change event of your ListBox
xfa.host.messageBox("TEST: " + xfa.event.newText);
This code should give you the actual Text for your entries.
Hope this helps,

How to show description instead of code on a view page?

I'm new so this is probably basic, but I didn't find an answer when I tried searching.
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, ADF Business Components, ADF Faces.
In my application, I have both view pages and edit pages (some users will only have read access). Many of the fields will be populated from LOV and the code will be stored in the database.
The edit page is no problem - I have read-only VO for the LOV and I use af:selectOneChoice and display the description. But how do I display the same description on the view page? By defaiult the code is displayed when the entity based VO is dropped as a ADF Read Only Form.
I assume I need to do something in the BC, but I'm not sure how to get values from read-only VO into my entity based VO. Or do I have to make all my VO for LOVs entity based even though they will never be edited? Or is there something I can do in the view to get the description instead of the code?
Thank you for your help.

So if I understand you properly, I need to create EOs for all my list of values (which are based on views of Oracle apps tables) and base my VO on those EOs. And then I setup associations between these EOs and the Item EO. Then I include the these EOs in my Items VO and add the description attributes to my list of attributes. I had done this for the list of users, but for the views of Oracle I had just created read only VO. Sounds like that won't work if I want to display the description. I know what to do - I guess I was hoping there was a way to use the read only VO.
Thanks

How to show two amount (based on value type and entry code) in same column

Hi, I have to show two amount in the same column how can i do that...
For example there is
1) premium amount which depends upon the entry code lets say entry code 1000 = Premium amount .
2) Now there is another premium amount but this amount is stored on basis of value type ...let us say for value type 'prem' = premium amount .
these amount are in different field can i shown it in same column in BEx query.
If you can you please help .

use the selection criteria to restrict the field types in the query designer- use other variables to check the value
if it doesnt reconcile- you can alternatively use a multi provider for the same thing- that way you will get the same amount in 1 column and you could restrict using the infoprovider column

How to show a filter of the values in SCCM 2012 report?

I didn't see a forum for SCCM 2012 reporting, only SCCM 2007 Reporting, so I hope I am posting in the correct forum for this.
We upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2 and when running a report and entering values we can no longer type in a filter and then see a filtered list of values like in SCCM 2007.
Is there a solution for this? This was very useful especially in the Add/Remove report because many times we don't know exactly what to enter.
Below is a snapshot of what we did in SCCM 2007.

Garth, unfortunately, I don't. I was fair at SCCM 2007 reporting and modifying SQL statements, but it seems everything has changed with SCCM 2012 reporting. For the specific SCCM 2012 report I mentioned, "Computers with specific software
registered in Add Remove Programs", is there some code I could paste in somewhere to get it to operate like the SCCM 2007 report?
Are you using BIDS or Report Builder. (Keep in mind that I recommend BIDS over RP)
Here are the basic steps:
Review the SQL for the Prompt
Add a variable to the prompt
Import; refresh the SQL query within the dataset
Move that the new variable is BEFORE the existing variable
Enter in the Prompt text “Enter computer filer”
Test to make sure everything is nice
Upload the report.
