List of Values using page item variable

I know there has to be a simple solution to my problem but I cannot figure it out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Shared list of values that I want to reuse on several of my pages. I have tried (I thought) all the variable possibilities but cannot figure out how to reference the page item in my list of values.
Original code:
select app_name d, app_sys_id f
from ops_application
where :P32_RADIO2 = 'Application'
union
select db_name d, db_id f
from ops_database
where :P32_RADIO2 = 'Database'
Doesn't work:
select app_name d, app_sys_id f
from ops_application
where 'P'||:APP_PAGE_ID||'_RADIO' = 'Application'
union
select db_name d, db_id f
from ops_database
where 'P'||:APP_PAGE_ID||'_RADIO' = 'Database'
I also have tried 'P'||v('APP_PAGE_ID')||'_RADIO'
'P'||&APP_PAGE_ID.||'_RADIO'
'P&APP_PAGE_ID._RADIO'
'P'||:APP_PAGE_ID||'_RADIO'
Thanks,
Gayle

Gayle,
I haven't tried this, but what about
where v('P'||:APP_PAGE_ID||'_RADIO') = 'Application'That should allow you to build up the name of the page item dynamically, and then test the value...
A lower-quality solution would be to use an application item rather than a page item, as then you'd know the name ahead of time.
Let me know if this works,

Default Value for Page Items

Hi,
I use page items quite heavily in my workbooks to allow the user to filter the recordsets as they require.
Some of these page items are based on dates - i.e. Extract Date (my underlying tables are updated on a daily basis, so the Extract Date soon contains several values).
Is there any way I can set the Page Item to show the latest (MAX) Extract Date when the work book is opened?
Many thanks
Mark

Hi all
Also, when alternate sorts are in use these will generally trigger Discoverer to add the NOREWRITE hint to the SQL, which can cause horribly slow performance.
I used to use alternate sorts a lot but these days I use them very sparingly. When I want a list of values to come up in a certain order I now use a custom folder and add the ORDER BY in there. This allows the list to come up right when my users are picking and stops the NOREWRITE hint, but it also removes the alternate sorting from the display.
There are other causes for the inclusion of NOREWRITE hint but this is the main one.
Best wishes

Check list field values using LINQ

I have to check if the CURRENT USER is already in the list USERS by comparing his AccountName to the list field ACCOUNTNAME.
If the USER is on the list I have to check if the field IsFollower is YES or NO and change it according to some conditions.
I think LINQ would be the correct way of doing this but I have no clue how to do that.
Any ideas pls, thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can query the list using LINQ.
You need to get the SPList Object firstly, and then you can query list item value using LINQ.

Before Header pl/sql process to assign values to page items

How can i assign values to items on a page based on the data structure returned from a pl/sql procedure within the before header process? I am thinking of executing a pl/sql procedure based on a URL parameter value and then assign values to page items. Is this really possible using Apex 4.0.2? If yes, how can it be done?
thanks
Seetharaman

The question isn't really clear. What kind of "data structure returned from a pl/sql procedure"? Please be much more specific.
For a PL/SQL data structure such as record containing 2 elements (<tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt>) returned as an out parameter from a procedure to be assigned to 2 page items <tt>p1_x</tt> and <tt>p1_y</tt>, all that's required in the Before Header process is something like
declare
l_rec rec_type;
begin
the_proc(..., p_out => l_rec, ...);
:p1_x := l_rec.x;
:p1_y := l_rec.y;
end;

Enhancement Request : Subscriptions where IR uses Page Items.

I'd like to request an Enhancement.
I'd like report subscriptions to keep track of the current values of any page items in the sql statement when the subscription is stored.
Currently any Interactive Reports that use page items run fine interactively, but subscriptions fail due to the page items having no values.

Oh ok I see what you're trying to do but that's not what I meant.
1. If your IR filters based on a page item and is a subscribable report, you have no choice but to work a NVL (or some other means) in there in order to make a true condition when the page item is null or nonexistent in order for the report to work at all during subscription.
2. If you never want the user to be able to query all rows in the application (that is, force them to enter something in the page item), you'll need a not-null validation on the page so when they submit their page item change that it validates not-null.
3. Use the filter in the IR (but NOT referencing a page item) such that the user can save/subscribe to an IR with the desired filter such that they get the properly-filtered named IR.
Does that make sense?

How to fetch the tabular form column value into page items

Hi,
I have created tabular form. I have set LOV for one column. Here my requirement is when i select the value from lov then it will fetch that value into page item.
can any help?
I am using apex 4.1
Thanks
vijay

It's not so easy to make a dynamic action on a tabular form.
The best thing you can do is to use the javascript API from APEX: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/javascript_api.htm
So if you have a tabular form then open your item and make it a column link.
In the link location select URL.
Your URL would be something like this
javascript:$s('P1_PAGE_ITEM', #COLUMN_ID#);doSubmit('COLUMN_ID');The doSubmit is not required but if you don't submit your page then the server would never know about your page item.
Off course it is possible to submit at a later point. For example you can just use the $s to set the value off an item and afterwards create a button that would submit your page.
Be aware that if you just set the value off your page item and just link to an other page without submitting or without branching that other page would never know about your page item.
If you want the server to know the value off a page item you need to submit it's value to the server. The easiest way is just to do the doSubmit() call after you have set your value.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Nico

Problem using Page items in trigger

Hello all,
I have a requirement in my application in which I need to use a page item in my trigger..
My basic requiremtn is I have 2 forms to enter data..I need the name entered int he first form to be displayed in the second form, since am associating the data entered in the 2nd form to the name entered in the 1st form..
In my 2nd form where I need this, am setting the Source of Server_Name to P105_DEVICE_NAME. But I need this info to enter the details to the table..So I ve created the folowwing trigger.
create or replace TRIGGER "cts_apps_temp_insert"
BEFORE INSERT ON CTS_APPS_TEMP
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
vComputer_ID NUMBER;
vTemp varchar(200);
BEGIN
vTemp := :P105_DEVICE_NAME;
select computer_id into vComputer_ID from cts_hardware_info where computer_name = vtemp;
INSERT INTO CTS_SERVER_APP_CUSTOMER(SERVER_ID,DEPT_APP_REL_ID,TECHNICAL_MANAGER,FUNCTIONAL,APPLICATION_COORDINATOR,MODIFYUSERID,DATEOFMODIFICATION)
VALUES (vComputer_ID,:NEW.DEP_APP_REL_ID,:NEW.TECHNICAL_MANAGER,:NEW.FUCNTIONAL_MANAGER,:NEW.APPLICATION_COORDINATOR,v('APP_USER'),sysdate);
END;
But am getting an error executing this
Compilation failed, line 5 (10:44:08) The line numbers associated with compilation errors are relative to the first BEGIN statement. This only affects the compilation of database triggers.
PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'P105_DEVICE_NAME'
Is there any other way to access the Page Items from the trigger?
Thanks,
Nehal

Thanks Tyson. I have changed it but I still get the same error.
For some reason, The value of P105_DEVICE_NAME is becoming null.
I tried executing the following in SQL workshop.
begin
dbms_output.put_line('skdjaldjakdjalkdj');
dbms_output.put_line(v('P105_DEVICE_NAME'));
end;
and got the following output
skdjaldjakdjalkdj
Statement processed.
0.00 seconds
It doesnt print anything for v('P105_DEVICE_NAME').
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Nehal

List of Values from SAP BW variable in Web Intelligence

Hi Ingo,
We have SAP BW Query Variables with list of values available in Universe and hence Web Intellligence.
These variables are on InfoObjects like Business Partner, Contract Account...etc. The actual values for these objects are in millions. Whenever we use these filters at WebI, its taking too much time to load all those millions of List of Values.
Can you please guide us how to avoid loading these List of Values and provide a text box for user input.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Ravi Kumar Garre

Hi,
no - this is a feature you can enable on any List of values including those that are being generated based on BI variable. In the Universe - assuming a query with a BI variable - you will have two List of Value definitions per Variable.
open the properties and set both of them to "Delegated Search", save the universe, export it and then you should see the difference.

How to Set Value of page item?

String dimLayoutNew[][] = new String[3][];
dimLayoutNew[0] = new String[1];
dimLayoutNew[1] = new String[1];
dimLayoutNew[2] = new String[2];
dimLayoutNew[0][0] = measureString;
dimLayoutNew[1][0] = strDimension1;
dimLayoutNew[2][0] = strDimension2;
dimLayoutNew[2][1] = strDimension3;
Boolean applyNewLayoutFlag = tableQuery.layout(dimLayoutNew);
In this Layout,How to set the value of strDimension2 page item to one member of strDimension2?
thanks!

what about this - look up the javadoc to get more >info ....You would have to admit, while BI Beans are great, the documentation is a little light.
int targetHPos[] = targetDataAccess.getEdgeCurrentHPos (2);
now apply the order to the targethpos as you like...now, once you make your changes to the targetHPos, how does one actually make the change to the Query object (i.e. what method does one need to call to pass the new targetHPos in??) I looked through the JavaDoc and didn't see a SetCurrentHPos or equivalent function in the DataAccess Class. Is there one?
Also, what role, if any, should the SetCurrentPage method of the query object play if I'm not using it correctly?

Trouble using an item variable in a report query

Hi,
Apex 4.2
Theme: jQuery Mobile
I have a page with 2 regions. An html region with a select list that populates an item called P1_RESIDENT and below that a report region which will show rows dependent on what is selected in the above select list.
My select list definition is:
select aka as display_value, id as return_value
from RESIDENT
order by 1
The query in my report is:
select decode (two_person_lift,'Y','2 Person Lift','1 Person lift') as "2 person lift"
from resident
where id = :P1_RESIDENT
My expectation is the user will select a person from the list and a name will be displayed and P1_RESIDENT will get set with the return_value of id. The report region will then run and display rows.
Unfortunately all I am getting in the report region is this:
&"DECODE(TWO_PERSON_LIFT,'Y','2PERSONLIFT','1PERSONLIFT')".
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks
Steve.

Suggest you try to reproduce the problem on apex.oracle.com where we can see it.
What page, region, and report templates are you using?
Are you submitting the page on change of the select list, or using a dynamic action to refresh the report? If the latter, provide full details of the DA, and Is P1_RESIDENT specified in the report region Page Items to Submit property?

List of Values using WeCheckbox

I attempted to apply the same principles in using shared variables within a subreport to populate the values for WeCheckbox function. Although I was able to get the list of values to populate as desired, something strange happened when I tried to use the name of the variable within WeBuilder function. When I referenced the exact variable, it doesn't show up on the report. However, if I just use "Checkbox" in the WeBuilder function, everything displays perfectly. The obvious problem is that I can't capture the selected checkbox with a Submit button, as it never displays that it is capturing the user selected checkbox when passing parameters to the target report. Is it possible to use a list of values to populate the WeCheckbox function and also be able to pass the values to a target report?

hello Eric,
i am not sure if i understand the issue. can you please change the WEBuilder's debugging mode to "2" so that it will display the url that it is generating...what is the url that is being generated and what is wrong with the particular url when the end user selects a checkbox and presses submit?

How to reference SQL column value for page item text field

greetings,
I created a simple report based on sql query. the query is select employeeid,salary from emp_tbl. under the report column i see employeeid and salary. I created a page item text field with the source type pl/sql function body. inside this source is simple block.
begin
if salary < 10000 then
return (1);
else
return (2);
end if;
end;
from the error i take it that it doesn't understand salary. I have tried bind variable (:salary) , hash marks (#salary#), ampersand (&salary.) but nothing works. Is this even possible?
thank you,
mon

Hi Mon,
I think you will find that anything you do in Forms, you can achieve in Apex, but you may have to think a little differently. Finding direct equivalents in both environments may not be easy or even possible in some circumstances, but with a little knowledge and thought an equivalent overall business flow can be achieved that is just as efficient.
For example, in Forms where you have a multi row block based on a table, if you need to add any derived fields then you will add these at the block level. I can see that this is what you are trying to achieve in Apex.
In Apex this will be more easily achieved by specifying the derived fields as part of the query for the region, and if the derivation of the fields is complex you can use user defined functions. If you require page type items to be displayed such as text boxes, LOV's, radiogroups, datepickers etc then these can be embedded in the query with the use of the Apex API, see the APEX_ITEM supplied package.
I know this is still very high level, but I hope it helps you on your way in your journey with Apex.

Andre

Using page items in a report region

Hi all,
I am attempting to query a database table using values from two page items.
SEARCH_FIELD is the field in which a query constraint is being applied
SEARCH_CONDITION is the the query constraint condition being applied
So, for example, I tried setting SEARCH_FIELD to AMOUNT and SEARCH_CONDITION to %22%.
When I put the line 'AMOUNT LIKE :SEARCH_CONDITION' at the end of the query it returns the rows that do match the constraint.
When I put the line ':SEARCH_FIELD LIKE :SEARCH_CONDITION' it displays "no data found."
The debug shows it parse query, bind SEARCH_FIELD, bind SEARCH_CONDITION, determine column headings, then parse and bind again, and print column headings, and row loop: 15 row(s). Then the message "no data found." It should return a single row, but it does not.
Any reason why apex doesn't like this?
Thanks in advance,
T.

Sorry for the reply delay...
The region is an SQL Query. The source is:
Select NUMBER, DATE_LOGIN, DATE_LOGOUT, FORM.FORM_NAME as "Form", Person.L_Name||', '||Person.F_Name as "REQUESTER", DEPARTMENT.DEPARTMENT_NAME, ACCOUNT#, SUBCODE.SUBCODE as "Subcode", AMOUNT, DESCRIPTION, SENTTO.LOCATION as "Sent To", (Select Person.L_Name||', '||Person.F_Name from PERSON WHERE AUTHORIZED_BY=PERSON.ID) as "Authorized By" from SIGNATURETBL, PERSON, DEPARTMENT, FORM, SENTTO, SUBCODE WHERE REQUESTER=PERSON.ID AND DEPARTMENT=DEPARTMENT.ID AND FORM=FORM.ID AND SENT_TO=SENTTO.ID AND SIGNATURETBL.SUBCODE=SUBCODE.ID AND :SEARCH_FIELD LIKE :SEARCH_CONDITION
If :SEARCH_FIELD has the value of 'AMOUNT' and :SEARCH_CONDITION has the value of '%22%' the regions says that no data was found. If :SEARCH_FIELD, in the query, is replaced by AMOUNT then the query does return the proper rows.
Can you not reference an item to determine a column constraint?
Thanks for any input

How to set the default value for page item in report

Hi Gurus
I currently i have company name as page item in one of my report screen ,but it is displaying the value for company name in its drop down column ,but i want to make it "*ALL* as default after the query result ",this is user requirement ,please share ,how can i make it ,is it possible ??,thanx in advance
thanx
Pratap

Hi,
I don't think this is possible. You can of course use a parameter to select the page item and default the parameter but then the user will have to rerun the report to see other pages items.

Thanks for helping me out Tony.
It is a single row form. But the same form is used many time to add records for that particular server..
In the first form the user enters the server details. In the second form they need to associate applications with the server name they entered in the first form.
They can add any number of such applications.
The contenst in my form are
Server_name: ( read only field populated by the name they entered in the first form)
application_name:
Manger1:
Manager2:
When the user clicks on add button the applcaition should be associated to the server he added in the first form.For this I need the Id of the Server_name he added in the first form.
I also need to store this info in a temporary table apart from the original Server-App relationt able. Thats the reason I had database trigger which was also adding stuff to a temporary table apart from adding the relationships to the main table.
But even if we frget about hte temporary table can you please tell me how I can use the Page item value in form 1 and get its id from database and use it to insert server-app relation in second form?
