Inserting date in a form

Can anybody help me, I would like to insert the date automatically in my form but in the following format "Friday 12 July 2008". However when I go to patterns and change the pattern to this format it does not change it in the PDF Preview screen. The date stays as "12 09 08. Am I missing something. Appealing to all Lifecycle Designer ES guru's.
Regards
Gerard

I believe it is using the system date format by default. Which command are you using to get the current date?

Inserting data from jsp form to multiple tables !

Hi,
I want to insert data from jsp form to two tables
tables are
(1) Form
formId (PK)
deptName
(2) Data
formId (FK)
sNo
description
itemCode
and the problem is that i want to save information form a jsp form to above two tables and i have only one form.
so how do i insert data from a jsp form to multiple tables.

You already know what your form in the jsp will be and what fields they are. You also already know what your database looks like. Using one form, you should be able to break the data down, and give it certain ids and/or names, so that when the form is submitted, you retrieve the correct values corresponding to a specific field and insert it.
Unless there is something else I am not catching, this seems pretty straight forward.

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form and then create a PFD?

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form, then store the data in the Data Base and finally create a PFD?
If this is possible with BI Publisher, what do i have to do to link the form with the BIPublisher interface?

Hi
If you just have a PDF form and do not need to pre populate data then all you need do is:
1. Add a submit button to the PDF - you can use the full Adobe product or a BIP API
2. Load the PDF as a template with a dummy data source.
The user can then run the "report" as usual. When they have completed the form they can hit the Sumit button on the form. Adobe will then scrape the data out of the form in an XML format and post it to the URL you added. At the other end of the URL you need a servlet to accept and process the XML data.
If you need to prepopulate the form you can attach a datasource to the PDF template but ensure the fields are preserved after running the form for the user through the config options.
BIP does have APIs to populate drop lists, etc but these are not exposed thru through the BIP UI.
I'll try and write this up for the blog and OTN soon

Why does my pdf gets bigger in size once i insert data in fields(forms) ?

Hello world,
I'm stuck with a very frustrating problem. I have made a presentation in Aftereffects as a pdf and added some editable fields (forms) in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Once i start entering data in the fields and saving the pdf in Adobe Acrobat, the size of the file grows with 1,2 megabytes after each save. The file gets bigger even if a delete the inserted data and saving again. Did anybody encountered this problem? Where do I get it wrong? Do i need to save the pdf from indesign in some special way? The original file is 3.5 MB containing pictures and text and from there it gets bigger with every save.
Help on this one would be greatly apreciated.
May you all have a great year.
Vlad

You should perform a Save As, not just a Save. When you do a Save As, it removes any unnecessary stuff in the file.

Insert data from one form to another table

I have a form which of course insert data into table1, i created a process within this form and include a sql statement to achieve this for me. My thoughts are this will take whatever is the value from the form and insert it into table2.
INSERT INTO ML_LIST (ML_TITLE,ML_LASTNAME)
VALUES
(P20_SSR_TITLE, P20_SSR_LASTNAME);
My error is column not allowed here
Any suggestions

I used the following
Begin
INSERT INTO ML_LIST (ML_TITLE,ML_LASTNAME)
VALUES
(:P20_SSR_TITLE,:P20_SSR_LASTNAME);
End;

Help please !! Need to insert date automatically in form

I have been trying unsuccessfully for a week to automatically
capture today's date on a form. I can display a date on screen but
it will not insert date into mySQL db. All other information is
inserted as expected.
Am I just whistling in dark? Is there no way to eliminate
user input for the order date field?
I have looked throughout the forums and no luck.
Anyone have any ideas about how to do?
Thanks,
Dale :-)

You can use a timestamp function within your MySQL table, but
remember you can only use the timestamp function ONCE in a table.
Using the timestamp Function:
Set the field type to TIMESTAMP. You can also set the default
to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and the attributes to ON UPDATE
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP if you want the timestamp to change when the
record is updated.
If you want to record times more than the one time you are
using the timestamp and you are using PHP/MySQL or PHP/MySQL ADODB
(InterAKT's PhAKT Extension), then try this:
http://chuckomalley.net/help/insert_date_help.php
That gets the time into the MySQL Database. Next thing you'll
want to do is to have it display the time the way you want it. The
default will display it as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss and you may not want
it that way. To display it the way you want it try this:
http://chuckomalley.net/help/display_formatted_date.php
For the specific syntax on using this, refer to the online
MySQL Manual and search for DATE_FORMAT() at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html

Problem inserting date in oracle forms

I have a data block called CUSTOMER and a TEXT ITEM called
DOB which is used to enter the Date of birth (date).
I have a SAVE button, on its trigger WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED,
I have the following code
insert into test values
(to_date(:customer.dob,'dd-mon-yyyy'));
commit;
When i run the form it gives the error
FRM-40508: Oracle error: unable to INSERT record
But when i run the same trigger with sysdate (as shown below)
it runs perfectly, i mean the row is inserted into the database.
insert into test values
(to_date(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy'));
commit;
If someone can offer some assistance regarding this problem,
I will appreciate that.
Dalbir

Whenever you get an "Oracle Error" it means the form is happy but the database is complaining about something. You can select help > display error from the menu to see the sql it is trying to run and what the problem is.
Incidentally, why are you going to the trouble of trying to write code to do something which a forms block does automatically ?

How to insert data from APEX form into two tables

Hi,
I'm running APEX 4.1 with Oracle XE 11g, having two tables CERTIFICATES and USER_FILES. Some of the (useless) fields are cut to reduce information:
CREATE TABLE CERTIFICATES
CERT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_OWNER NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_VENDOR NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_NAME VARCHAR2 (128) ,
CERT_FILE NUMBER NOT NULL ,
) TABLESPACE CP_DATA
LOGGING;
ALTER TABLE CERTIFICATES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERTIFICATES_PK PRIMARY KEY ( CERT_ID ) ;
CREATE TABLE USER_FILES
FILE_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (128) ,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB ,
MIMETYPE VARCHAR2 (32) ,
LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE
) TABLESPACE CP_FILES
LOGGING
LOB ( BLOB_CONTENT ) STORE AS SECUREFILE
TABLESPACE CP_FILES
STORAGE (
PCTINCREASE 0
MINEXTENTS 1
MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
FREELISTS 1
BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT
RETENTION
ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW
NOCACHE
ALTER TABLE USER_FILES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERT_FILES_PK PRIMARY KEY ( FILE_ID ) ;
ALTER TABLE CERTIFICATES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERTIFICATES_USER_FILES_FK FOREIGN KEY
CERT_FILE
REFERENCES USER_FILES
FILE_ID
NOT DEFERRABLE
What I'm trying to do is to allow users to fill out all the certificate data and upload a file in an APEX form. Once submitted the file should be uploaded in the USER_FILES table and all the fields along with CERT_ID, which is the foreign key pointing to the file in the USER_FILES table to be populated to the CERTIFICATES table. APEX wizard forms are based on one table and I'm unable to build form on both tables.
That's why I've created a view (V_CERT_FILES) on both tables and using INSTEAD OF trigger to insert/update both tables. I've done this before and updating this kind of views works perfect. Here is where the problem comes, if I'm updating the view all the data is updated correctly, but if I'm inserting into the view all the fields are populated at CERTIFICATES table, but for USER_FILES only the fields FILE_ID and LAST_UPDATE_DATE are populated. The rest three regarding the LOB are missing: BLOB_CONTENT, FILENAME, MIMETYPE. There are no errors when running this from APEX, but If I try to insert into the view from SQLDeveloper, I got this error:
ORA-22816: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause
ORA-06512: at line 1
As far as I know RETURNING clause in not supported in INSTEAD of triggers, although I didn't have any RETURNING clauses in my trigger (body is below).
Now the interesting stuff, after long tracing I found why this is happening:
First, insert is executed and the BLOB along with all its properties are uploaded to wwv_flow_file_objects$.
Then the following insert is executed to populate all the fields except the BLOB and it's properties, rowid is RETURNED, but as we know RETURNING clause is not supported in INSTEAD OF triggers, that's why I got error:
PARSE ERROR #1918608720:len=266 dep=3 uid=48 oct=2 lid=48 tim=1324569863593494 err=22816
INSERT INTO "SVE". "V_CERT_FILES" ( "CERT_ID", "CERT_OWNER", "CERT_VENDOR", "CERT_NAME", "BLOB_CONTENT") VALUES (:B1 ,:B2 ,:B3 ,:B4, ,EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING ROWID INTO :O0
CLOSE #1918608720:c=0,e=11,dep=3,type=0,tim=1324569863593909
EXEC #1820672032:c=3000,e=3168,p=0,cr=2,cu=4,mis=0,r=0,dep=2,og=1,plh=0,tim=1324569863593969
ERROR #43:err=22816 tim=1324569863593993
CLOSE #1820672032:c=0,e=43,dep=2,type=1,tim=1324569863594167
Next my trigger gets in action, sequences are generated, CERTIFICATES table is populated and then USER_FILES, but only the FILE_ID and LAST_UPDATE_DATE.
Finally update is fired against my view (V_CERT_FILES), reading data from wwv_flow_files it populates BLOB_CONTENT, MIMETYPE and FILENAME fields at the specific rowid in V_CERT_FILES, the one returned from the insert at the beginning. Last, file is deleted from wwv_flow_files.
I'm using sequences for the primary keys, this is only the body of the INSTEAD OF trigger:
select user_files_seq.nextval into l_file_id from dual;
select certificates_seq.nextval into l_cert_id from dual;
insert into user_files (file_id, filename, blob_content, mimetype, last_update_date) values (l_file_id, :n.filename, :n.blob_content, :n.mimetype, sysdate);
insert into certificates (cert_id, cert_owner, cert_vendor, cert_name, cert_file) values (l_cert_id, :n.cert_owner, :n.cert_vendor, :n.cert_name, l_file_id);
I'm surprised that I wasn't able to find a valuable source of information regarding this problem, only MOS note about running SQLoader against view with CLOB column and INSTEAD OF trigger. The solution would be to ran it against base table, MOS ID 795956.1.
Maybe I'm missing something and that's why I decided to share my problem here. So my question is how do you create this kind of architecture, insert into two tables with a relation between them in APEX ? I read a lot in the Internet, some advices were for creating custom form with APEX API, create a custom ARP, create two ARP or create a PL/SQL procedure for handing the DML?
Thanks in advance.

Sve

Thank you however I was wondering if there was an example available which uses EJB and persistence.

How to insert data from multiple forms

Hi
I want to insert 180 field record in a table.
so suppose i split it with say 90 fields in two forms each.
now the problem here is that suppose all the 180 fields are compulsory then when i travel from the first page to the next page then it will insert the first 90 columns in the table and doing this it gives constraint errors for other 90 fields as they are all not null.
please suggest a solution for these.
also how do i pass on the primary key value to the next form.
please help me out.
thanks
ameya

If you do it like that, you will lose the benefit of constraint checking, and you can end up with invalid data in your table.
There are a few other approaches:
1. Use the wizard wizard to create a series of pages which do not update the table, but save the data items. On the last page of the wizard, have a button that inserts the record using handwritten SQL.
2. Create one page with all the fields (possibly hidden, to avoid alarming the users). Then create a wizard as above, with fields linked to the same data items as the large page. When the user has completed the wizard pages, navigate to the large page and use the DML process there to insert the record.

The Web Dynpro ABAP might be able to help you better.
Hope this helps.

Inserting data from a view

Hi:
i'd like to create a view from 5 different tables and let the user insert data through a form based in that view. Does anybody know how to do this? when i try to insert data i get error saying it can't be done in non key preserved tables. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks.
Regards. Urko.

HI Urko,
There are some issues in forms created on views ,especially when the view is based on two tables and also when there are issues of "Key-Preserved Tables" so please wait till the point we are able to overcome these limitations.As the forms are based on the ROWIDs which are not there in these views there are some issues
in these cases.There are bugs filled for these issues but will take some time to actually fix them.
thanks

Not able to insert data in database via forms

Hi there. i have been trying to insert data into my database, which i am connected to remotely. i have written some sql code for a button.
INSERT INTO address_repository VALUES('ADD'|| :address.address_id, :address.address_street_num,
:address.address_street_name, :address.address_suburb, :address.address_postcode, :address.address_state, :address.address_country);
where the above are the above are textfield items. my code compiles fine, and no errors are displayed on my form, but when i click the button, nothing happens, and the page is busy, and appears to be processing something, but does nothing.

don't write
INSERT INTO address_repository VALUES('ADD'|| :address.address_id, :address.address_street_num,
:address.address_street_name, :address.address_suburb, :address.address_postcode, :address.address_state, :address.address_country);
write
INSERT INTO address_repository (address_id, ....., ....., .....
VALUES('ADD'|| :address.address_id, :address.address_street_num,
:address.address_street_name, :address.address_suburb, :address.address_postcode, :address.address_state, :address.address_country);
if the same error is still active, then we look further, ok?

Is it possible to insert data from a .txt file onto a form list?

Hello everyone i have a question and really hope someone can help me out...
I have made a form list in acces but now i want the option to insert data from a .txt automatically to that list in shaprepoint.. is this possible????
* I forgot to say that i cannot use any third party software or powershell becauseof the limitations that i have in the comapny..

If it's in Access, than you can consider linking this to your SharePoint List. I'm not sure what sort of options you'll have with just a text file.
You might consider replacing that text file with an Excel Sheet and uploading it to the list with this Excel add-in

*Urgent*How to insert data from MS SQL to the table that create at the adobe form?

Hi,
I'm using Adobe life cycle designer 8 to do my interactive form. I would like to ask how to insert data from MS SQL to the table that i have created in my adobe interactive form?
I really need the information ASAP as i need to hand in my project by next week... i really appreciate any one who reply this post.
Thanks

Tou need to do a couple of things
1. On the Essbase server, set up an odbc system connection to your MySQL database
2. In the load rule , go to the file menu and select open SQL data source and in the data source put in your SQL statement . A couple of hints. Where it says Select, don't put in the word select and where it say from don't put in from. The system adds them for you. The easiest way ti enter a SQL statement is to do it all in the select area So if your SQL would normanlly say select * from mytable just enter the code as * from mytable in the select area
The click ol/retrieve and enter in your connection info. Itshould bring data back into the load rule. Save the load rule and use it
