Can we implement partial page rendering on item style Flex??

Hi All,
In an xml,
I have item style 'Flex' for expense account.
Requirement is :
In the same page i have other LOV which brings the data based on one of the segments of that expense account.
So any changes in one of the segments for the expesne account need to be stored and LOV query should be modified accrodingly..
So trying with following possibilties
1) Use partial page rendering for expense account
2) Split the page into two so that first expense account is displayed and any modifications to it are handled in controller and use LOV Mappings to update the query.
So can partial page rendering can be implemented for Item style "Flex".
Can anyone please provide the inputs to handle this scenario and best possible solution?
Issue is very hot right now.. Quick help needed..

Hi
No u can not use PPR for flex items although u can create context flexfield .
thanx

How to show pdf or word icons for a BLOB column in a report?

Hi,
I am getting interested for the blob columns, I have created some columns for storing some pdf drawings and pictures for specific items in a table, it is ok to show a text like 'download' or any other text in the report by setting the following blob attribute:
DOWNLOAD:TICKET_DETAILS:ATTACHMENT:TICKET_DETAILS_ID::MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::inline:Download
but instead of texts, I would like to show a small pdf image for my Blob file, or a word image or Excel image, according to the different file type.
how to do that?
and instead of inline or attachment this two options, I would like when the user click the image of the file, the browser will show the image in a new window, or a new browser tab.
I tried the inline option for my file at Google Chrome, but when it showed the pdf file within the browser, I cannot get back to my app by clicking the 'backward' icon at the browser menu, it will stuck there and I have to close the broswer and then login to the app again, instead of simply returning back to the previous page within the app.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Please try using a query like below for your report.
SELECT ticket_details_id,
CASE
   WHEN NVL(dbms_lob.getlength(attachment),0) = 0 THEN NULL
   ELSE
      CASE
         WHEN mime_type LIKE 'image%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/image_icon.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type = 'application/pdf'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#menu/pdf_32.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type like '%ms-excel%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/excel_icon.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type like '%msword%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/word_icon.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type like '%ms-powerpoint%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/powerpoint_icon.gif" /></a>'
         ELSE '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/office_icon.gif" /></a>'
      END
END attachment
FROM ticket_details
WHERE ticket_details_id = :P102_TICKET_DETAILS_IDPlease note that I am using APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC function to download the BLOB files. The first parameter of this function in my example query is P101_ATTACHMENT, which refers to page item of type "File Browse" on page 101, which is a DML form on table TICKET_DETAILS. Replace it with the appropriate page number. Please refer to "Working With BLOBs Procedurally" section of this APEX 3.2 documentation for more: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/advnc.htm#sthref2199]http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/advnc.htm#sthref2199
Also I have the gif images representing various MIME types on my file server. For e.g., /i/excel_icon.gif. You can use #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# if you want to.

How can i make a pl/sql function for BLOB datatype

hi..anyone here who is very familiar about BLOB datatype. i have a COLUMN_ID, COLUMN_A in a certain TABLE_1. COLUMN_A is blob datatype that contains almost 250,000rows
SQL>select column_A from table_1 where column_id=1234567
column_A
00000001000000010000000606D4E833074B69EC06D4E91F074CO18406D50C58074C031E
how can i make a user-defined function to compute and convert this blob datatype into decimal length value. this hex value are points in the map.. the function must contain
1.get the length of a blob then
2.convert blob to variable hexadecimal characters by parsing it into 8
3.to_number function or other function used to convert haxadecimal characters to decimal numbers
4.phythagorean formula to compute length between two points. this is the formula i think LENGTH =
SQRT(power((coordinate_x-prev_coordinate_x),2)+power((coordinate_y-prev_y),2));
after this when i type this
SQL>select user_function(column_A) from table_1 where column_id=1234567
user_functions(column_A)
--output length will be in decimal value already
the function will goes like this
step1 is to get the blob length
00000001000000010000000606D4E833074B69EC06D4E91F074CO18406D50C58074C031E
step2 is parsing of data by eights
00000001 =>1
00000001 =>1
00000006 =>6 (number of coordinates)
06D4E833 => X1
074B69EC => Y1
06D4E91F => X2
074CO184 => Y2
06D50C58 => X3
074C031E => Y3
step3 to_number function used to convert hex char to decimal
step4 compute by phytagorean (NOTE ! when computing length the third parsed eight will tell how many coordinates are there..the number of coordinates is ranging from 2 up to E..above example shows 6 coordinates so it means
LENGTH1 =
SQRT(power((X2-X1),2)+power((Y2-Y1),2));
LENGTH2=
SQRT(power((X3-X2),2)+power((Y3-Y2),2));
TOTAL LENGTH=LENGTH1 + LENGTH2
thanks

its my first time to use that.There's got to be a first tiem for anything. Be brave.
btw if theres more easy suggestion pls feel free..Well of course the easiest solution would be if the calling program passed in the parameters as separate arguments instead of glomming them together in a string that has to be parsed. This sort of kluj really ought not to have survived into C21.

Thankx.

I wanted to do something similar, but as you mention, there isn't a lot of sample code to copy and paste etc, and I didn't have the time to spend investigating this one issue when plenty of other things needed my attention.
In the end I decided to save my BLOB data as actual files in the document directory and then store a link to these in the database row. Something like primarykey_id_blobname.jpg etc.
Probably not the answer you want, but hopefully it'll get you past a road block and onto the next item on your list.

Unable to generate XML's for BLOB datatypes from Concurrent program

Hi All,
I've a requirement to print images on rtf layout. Images are uploaded by end user through attahments men
there are getting stored in fnd_lobs tables.
for printing blob images we need to convert them into CLOB and generate XML's.
I've done the conversion through a function and calling the function in the select query which is generating XML when i run it from toad.
SELECT xmlgen.getXml(
'SELECT file_id,mob_getbase64String(file_data) photo
FROM fnd_lobs
WHERE file_id = 2490481'
,0
) FROM dual;
But the same thing we i registered as concurrent program (SQL*Plus) the program is running into error.
Output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'https://dbtdev5i.oracleoutsourcing.com/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.e...
Input truncated to 17 characters

Log file
Concurrent Manager encountered an error while running SQL*Plus for your concurrent request 10868311.

Can anyone help me through on how to bypass this error and generate XML's.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Priya..,
I have changed the query and registered in apps and now i am able to generate XML's of the blob image and the same is getting printed on the tempate..
DECLARE
v_colb CLOB;
v_query VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
v_query := 'SELECT file_id,mob_getbase64String(file_data) photo
FROM fnd_lobs fl,
fnd_documents_vl fd
WHERE fd.media_id = fl.file_id
AND (fd.end_date_active IS NULL
OR fd.end_date_active > SYSDATE)
AND fd.security_type = 2
AND fd.security_id = fnd_profile.value(''GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID'')';
--FND_FILE.put_line( FND_FILE.LOG,v_query);
v_colb := xmlgen.getxml (v_query, 0);
--DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_query);
FND_FILE.put_line( FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_colb);
END;

Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Most possible causes for your issue..
1) Your GL account might not created with Open Item Management, even that GL account is B/S account.
2) No vendor invoice will be created as cleared items automatically, may be someone might have cleared that invoice with anohter payment document.
Please verify correctly.

Is EO necessary for the Item Style「MessageFileUpload」on EBS 12.1.3?

Hello experts,
When using Item Style「MessageFileUpload」,if the file which is being uploaded
exists ,the file name with an anchor will be rended and the file can be previewed
by click it.But the customer found that EO should be added for the VO associated with
Item Style「OAMessageFileUpload」.If EO is removed,the file will be opened as a blank file.
So is EO necessary for Item Style「MessageFileUpload」?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Hi,
You need to save the file and for that you need the EO.

Will "Save For Later" functionality work on BLOB datatype ?

Hi,
I read funtionality "Save For Later" from ADF Developer Guide. And tested it using JDEVELOPER 11.1.1.6 on a DB table with Number, Date, Varchar2 datatypes.
But can I create a table with BLOB datatype & make use of this functionality?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Fill free to try, and let us to know ;-)

SharePoint Branding - New Custom Item Style does not appear on dropdown of Item Styles

We are using custom styles on our SharePoint site. We need to create a new item style for a user requirement. I have created my new item style on the xml file using the existing Visual Studio solution then deployed it on our site. Unfortunately, I couldn't
seem to see the new style on the Item Style dropdown when I try to edit a webpart.
I have checked the 14 hive folder and the verified that the xml file is updated with my new item style. I have also verified that the XML is well formed.
I have done IISReset, BLOB Cached Flush, and remove browser cache but I still couldn't see my new item style.
Artificial intelligence can never beat natural stupidity.

I presume you mean themes?

Link Item Style to open a PDF hangs if opened in IE in 30 seconds

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper version 9.0.3.
I have a page in which, I have an advanced table, in which there is a column, with item style - link.
On the link item there is a PPR event and it should open a PDF file, residing on the server.
I am using java code to open the PDF file.
In Internet Explorer, the link doesnt work, infact the Explorer hangs and the user has to exit the window.
This doesnt happen in Firefox. However, this is critical as , use of firefox is not allowed, and the users have to ultimately use IE.
Below is the java code for opening the PDF file from the server:
public void downloadFileFromServer(OAPageContext pageContext, String file_name_with_path, String file_name_with_ext)
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
if (file_name_with_path == null || "".equals(file_name_with_path)){
throw new OAException("File path is invalid.");
File fileToDownload = null;
try{
fileToDownload = new File(file_name_with_path);
}catch (Exception e){
throw new OAException("Invalid File Path or file does not exist.");
if (!fileToDownload.exists()){
throw new OAException("File does not exist.");
if (!fileToDownload.canRead()){
throw new OAException("Not Able to read the file.");
String fileType = getMimeType(file_name_with_ext);
response.setContentType(fileType);
response.setContentLength((int)fileToDownload.length());
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file_name_with_ext + "\"");
InputStream in = null;
ServletOutputStream outs = null;
try{
outs = response.getOutputStream();
in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToDownload));
int ch;
while ((ch = in.read()) != -1){
outs.write(ch);
}catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try{
outs.flush();
outs.close();
if (in != null){
in.close();
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}//end catch
}//end finally
}//end method
public String getMimeType(String s)
int i = s.lastIndexOf(".");
if (i > 0 && i < s.length() - 1){
String s1 = s.substring(i + 1);
if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")){
return "application/pdf";
}//end if
}//end if
return "application/octet-stream";
}//end method
Thanks,

Hi Kristofer,
We did look at the possibility for using messageDownload bean instead of a link, but we do not want to store the file as a LOB.
The file needs to be stored in the server location.
Any clue as to why the file opened in the browser ( on clicking on the link) hangs and this is happening only in IE.
Thanks,
AJ

Problem with download link for a BLOB Column in a "Classic report"

I am having a problem where I cannot make a download link for a blob column function in a "classic" (non-interactive) report. I went through the tutorial on this topic and it was great help it working out the minor bugs, but I get a 404 error (apex_util.get_BLOB not found). For testing purposes I went ahead and created a an identical report on the same page that is an "Interactive report" and it works like a charm. Same query, same BLOB formatting Mask, pulling data from the same table. So, it really doesn't seem like an issue with the grants, since both reports should be executing as the same user.
I know it sounds like the obvious answer is to just go with the interactive report and my problem is solved, but the rest of this site uses classic reports, and I don't need the sort features of an interactive report, and the slightly different style of the the report really stands out even if I turn off all the bells and whistles. I don't want to change the css to make them look identical, I just want a regular report to work.

I eventually found another post: APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB was not found on this server
In this post there is the suggestion of putting "dbms_lob.getlength("var")" after the date field in your select. So I changed my query to have it at the end, and now my format mask (DOWNLOAD:table_name:ATTACHED_FILE:FILE_ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::attachment:Download) works like a charm, in a classic report.
