LOV Advance Search

We have created an LOV with Advance search option.
When user enter any value in the LOV and tabs out,then it is not performing the search based on entered value. Instead of that , it is just displaying all records from table.
The problem was occuring in R12 instance. In 11i, it was working fine.

this may sound simple but have you checked the lov mappings... specifaclly the criteria item for the LOV

How can I get a LOV to work in the advanced search area

I am using JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.
We are doing a LOV lookup on User-id. When the user selects a user-id or just starts keying in a user-id I have my Jheadstart code to pull in the full-name whenever the client selects a new user-id or starts keying a userid.
Under UserId we have the following definition
PersonIdentitiesLOV
UserId <= UserId
FullName <= CombinedName
We set up PersonIdentitiesLOV so that "Use LOV for validation" is set to true.
When I tested my code, in the advanced search this is what happened:
1) When the client selects a user-id the FullName field gets populated
2) When the client just keys in the user-id then the FullName DOES NOT get populated.
Someone told me that there is a bug in JHeadstart in 10.1.3.3 where if you turn on the "Use LOV for validation" then it does not get executed in the Advanced Search.
How do I get around this problem.
If this does not work then how would it be best to display the full name whenever someone keys in a user-id. We are using this full name display for auditing purposes at the cashiers wicket whenever someone keys in a userid and does not recognize the person. We want the full name displayed along with userid for verification purposes.
Any idea on how to get this working?

This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.

Issue with programmatically created LOV on Advanced Search Screen in OCO.

Hi All,
I am trying to create a LOV programmatically on Advanced search screen of Oracle Customer's Online module for the country field present there, i have extended a controller and
in it i am carrying out the creation for this.
i am using the below code to do this.
i am able to access the particular rowlayout bean and code below is starting after that.
OARowLayoutBean CountryRowLayoutBean =
                        (OARowLayoutBean)RgtColTableLayoutBean.getIndexedChild(8);
                    if (pageContext.isLoggingEnabled(PROCEDURE))

I am facing the issue that the torch icon is visble on the screen but when i click on it, it does not display the LOV region and a blank page saying website declined to show the page is displayed.
Please suggest what needs to be added that i am missing right now.
Thanks,
Mayank

on the first option I mean you can add new region programaticaly like this on Processrequest
            OAStackLayoutBean newLocationLovs=
                (OAStackLayoutBean)createWebBean(pageContext
                                                    ,"/yandex/oracle/apps/csi/instance/location/webui/YaLocationLovsRN"
                                                    , "xxnewLocationLovs"
                                                    ,true);
              webBean.addIndexedChild(newLocationLovs);

LOV Validation in Advanced Search

Hello,
We would like to use the LOV validation feature, but it only works in data-entry screens, not in the advanced search screens... Is it a known limitation or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Igor

Sorry Igor, we overlooked your initial post.
LOV validation is intentionally turned off in search items as it would prevent you from using wildcard searches.

LOV in Advanced Search Mode Problem

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with LOV!.
In advanced search of our pages, sometimes we used LOV.
As a normal way, we used two entities for the whole page, one as updatable
one, and another which is referenced in LOV and I defined that as reference.
After choosing a value from LOV, I want to assign its return values (from
selected row) to other fields. The returned values from LOV that are comming
from updatable entity is available and I could access them, but I can not see
the returned values from the reference entity.
At the end, I repeat that our LOV is working now for create mode and our problem with that is only in Advanced Search mode.
Thanks for ur helps:)

Hi Nasser2,
You could try to make the attribute in the reference entity that you want to put a new value in, updateable.
I guess you don't see the return value in that attribute in advanced search, because the VO-attr is readonly (which makes sense, because it is a reference-attribute!).

Textfields in advanced search from LOV non-editable

I have a LOV where the textfields in advanced search are always non-editable. When I look into the LOV JSP page, maxlength of the textfields is 0.
One of the textfields uses following attribute:
in EntityObject: attribute "Kuerzel", type "String" (database datatype VARCHAR2(10))
in ViewObject: attribute "DspKuerzel"
in the JHeadstart ADF BC Property Editor from EntityObject and ViewObject the Setting "maximum length" of the attribute is not set (no entry). Jheadstart help says that when maximum length is set to 0 then the corresponding textfield is non-editable. But here it is not set. Is there a solution to this problem?

If you send a testcase to [email protected] and rename extension .zip to .zipped we can investigate why the maximum length is not generated correctly in your situation.

Reduce advanced search criteria LOV

I have created OAF page with resultsBasedSearch = advanced panel Query Region. In advanced search criteria, I see four values in LOV - "is, is not, after, before". I want to limit options to "is" and "after". Is it possible to do this? If so, can you tell me in detail how?

Hi.
please try put your locale en tag view.
<f:view locale="it">
in Jdev 11.1.1.4 works!!

I am having problems using Firefox with Ebay in the last 10 days. The advanced search link is dropping off the page and there is no way to access it now.

I have been using Firefox and Ebay for at least 12 years with no problems whatsoever. But in the last 10 days I have been having trouble with the Advanced Search link disappearing from the page on Ebay. If I do a search from the Ebay home page it will show the results, but the Advanced Search link (in blue letters) which always used to appear to the right of the Search button is gone. If I click Search again at this point I can see the Advanced Search link appear for a millisecond, but then disappear just as quickly. Also, if I refresh the page the same thing happens. I tried to duplicate this problem with Internment Explorer and it didn't occur, so it appears to be Firefox that is causing this issue. Of course when I contacted Ebay they told me my problem was that I wasn't using Internment Explorer! I love Firefox and do not want to switch!

You can try to clear the cache and cookies to see if that makes a difference:
<h3>Clearing Cache</h3>
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
<h3>Clearing Cookies</h3>
#Go to Firefox > Tools > Privacy > Remove Individual Cookies
#Find the site (ebay.com) that's having problems and clear all cookies.
#Restart Firefox
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

How to add a new search criteria in Advance Search Page in OAF

HI,
In my application (R12) we can access customer related information from 2 places (2 different responsibilities as mentioned below), both are OAF pages.
1. AX receivables
2. Sales online
From both the responsibilities we can perform search for customer related information as well (Simple as well as Advance Search).
But Advance Search screen from 'Sales online' allows user to perform search, based on few additional fields as well such as 'Classification' (it's an lov based field).
Now, User is asking to add that field on search page of AX receivables as well.
So, how to add one more field (as search criteria), on an standard 'Customer' screen?
Additional Info :
1. LOV is based on HzPuiClassificationFilterVO
2. And this VO is available on both pages. (oracle.apps.ar.hz.components.search.server.HzPuiClassificationFilterVO)
So can we achieve this by Personalization only ? if yes plz share the steps as well.
Regards,
Adi

Yes. It is possible through personalization.
1. Create a criteria row under Advance Search
2. Create a Result Item under advance table columns
3. Create a Query Criteria Map based on the criteria and result item above.
Please note the newly added criteria field should be in the Searchresults VO attributes list.
Otherwise you need to extend the VO as well.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
-Mukesh.

Search Item drop-down does not show any data for Advanced Search.

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a new criteria to the existing Advanced Search region of 'My Employee Information' in Manager Self Service responsibility. I substituted the AdvancedSearchVO to include the new column. Using personalization i did the below steps to show the new column in the page,
1) Created a 'Message Styled Text' item under Table Layout region to display the result. I associated the View Instance (AdvancedSearchVO1) and View Attribute (AttrColumn).
2) In Advanced Search Panel created a new CriteriaRow and set the 'Search Allowed' property to True.
3) In Advanced Search Mappings i tried to create the new mapping but the Search Item drop-down does not show any of the CriteriaRow item. But Results Item shows the 'Message Styled Text' item created in step 1 above.
Any idea what i would be missing becasue of which 'Search Item' property does not show any data?
I am using OAF version 12.1.1.
Thanks, Suresh

Hi,
I faced the same situation but i still waiting for the solution.. this is my problem's thread..
Addition of LOV Search Filter using Personalization
But when i tried to create a new custom page with advanced table and created a new LOV column via personalization. i was able to create new search mapping.. but this is not happening in the seeded page case :(.
I m also looking for solution...if any one can provide some inputs on it , will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Unable to create Table Bean advanced search criteria

oawebbeantb.addIndexedChild(ccidbean); --here it getting null
Please someone help me on this..

1) Search panel textinput item should be search allowed true and prompt is need. no other property need to set.
HERE YOU DONT WANT TO SET VIEW INSTANCE AND ATTRIBUTE SINCE WE ARE DOING FOR EXTENDED VO ITEM AS SEARCH ITEM.THAT'S OK. I TRIED WITH YOUR COMMENTS FOR TEXTINPUT ITEM TOO.
Comment--
textinput item created is a simple item without any VO instance , etc.
There is no question of extended VO item, its a simple textinput item.
value in this field is going to compare with the values in result table.
2) Search mapping, only search item id and result item id need to set.
I'M DOING HERE MAPPING FOR ABOVE SEARCH ITEM ID AND RESULT ITEM ID
Comment-- Perfect !!
3) Item created in table , after you extended Vo, view instance and attribute needs to set.
WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS TO BE SET?? CAN YOU ELABORATE THIS MORE PLEASE.MAY BE I'M MISSING HERE SOMETHING.
Comment-- you must have created message styled text item in adv table bean, assign VO instance and attribute to it, right?
4) One more thing Parag, do i need to include where clause for extended VO item in view object??
for ex:
where attribute(this is extended vo item)=:4
Comment-- No need. this will be handled by point#2 above, i.e. criteria and result items.

Query bind parameter in Advanced Search

Hi,
We are using a query bind parameter in an Advanced Search . The parm that is passed is on an Lov field which works when we use the lov to populate the field but doesn't get passed if we enter the value manually instead.We are using the setActionListener tag in a copy of the findLovItem.vm file:
<af:setActionListener from="#{searchxxxx.criteria.xxxx+attributename+}"
to="#{QueryBindParamBean.+attributename+}"
The 'from' value is taken from the 'value' field in SelectInputText tag of that attribute ('+attributename+') found in the Advanced_Search_Lov_Item in the .jspx. We are doing the exact same thing in a form view (not the search) for the same attributes but are using the corresponding value for that attribute instead and it works no problem:
<af:setActionListener from="#{xxxx+attributename+LovItem.lovFieldValue}"
to="#{QueryBindParamBean.+attributename+}"
any ideas why the value isn't being passed in the search page when entered manually?
thanks!

Hi,
It does not directly ring a bell for me why you cannot copy this value. But since JHeadstart is simply using a bean with a Map to store it's values, it does not sound like a JHeadstart issue per se.
To simplify the test case, you could create a simple drag-and-drop ADF application without JHeadstart and see if the same problem occurs there. If so, can you please log a TAR at MetaLink ( http://metalink.oracle.com/ ), or ask this question at the JDeveloper forum? Thanks.

Default value in advanced search

Hi All,
          I want to give default values in "open advanced search" in opportunities.
I need to give default as sy-datum in Validto field and start date of each quater as default for Validfrom field.
                 I have written the code to generate Start date of each month.But i dont no where to incorporate this code.For validto field ,in field group structure ,I tried giving sy-datum ,but nothing is displayed.It is not accepting default value as sy-datum.
          Can any one tell me which method is called when we click on "open advanced search" ?
Regards,
Ruby.

Hi,
If you are not able to perform this thru personalization, then write the logic in controller class.
Get the handle of LOV field using its Id in PR method of your controller. After this, set the default value you want to the LOV in the same PR method.

Query Bean Advanced Search not showing more than four criuteria

Hi,
I am new to using Query bean for Simple/Advanced Search. I have 6 criteria under the advancedSearchPanel criteria. In advancedSearchMapping, I am mapping all the six conditions. However when I run the Page, only the first four are shown. I am not sure as to why the other two are not rendering.
I modified the order of the conditions and after that again the first four conditions are being shown. I am not sure of the bahaviour as to why this is happenning.
Please help me figure out the issue.
Thanks
Sumit

Hi (sorry, I am re-opening a very very old post)
I was looking for a way to display more than 4 criterias in the advanced search panel, and I found this topic.
So if I understand, there is no way we can display more than 4 criterias at the opening of an advanced search page ??!!
I really need to display default 9 criterias in this panel (my customer really need it)
1) Is there anyway to do it?
2) When I add a new criteria (a LOV), the only search operators I have are "is" and "is not", while in the standard criteria items, there is more operators ("begins with", "contains", ... ). Why?
thank you

Advanced Search is Broken

1. In Internet Explorer and Chrome, I am unable to select a specific board(s) to search - see below:
2. I cannot have more than 1000 items in a result set, and there is a bug when you try to access more than 1000. When viewing 250 results per page, the first four pages work fine (results 1 through 1000), but page 5 onward returns an incoherent and incorrect message. (Ideally, I want it to return results, not simply a coherent message)
3. I would like to see some more significant digits instead of "about 3000 posts". This may be a query limitation, but I suspect it's a front-end formatting issue that can be resolved easily.
4. Still cannot perform a search with an empty search query. This field should not be required, given other search parameters are provided (Username/ID, or Date Range, or ...). My workaround is really sloppy - the amount of HTML alone returned by the server when performing a search like this exceeds 1.2MB per page ( )
5. It's irksome that the only way to access the Advanced Search is by performing a quick search first. The Advanced Search link is only accessible once you're in the realm of the Search page.
I would love to see bugs and interface limitations in Search (and it's good buddy Sort) get bumped to Showstopper/Critical/Red Alarm/High Priority.

It turns out that you have to click on the little ">" symbol. Thanks for this tidbit, I didn't know you could expand the categories to view the boards. But still, even now that I can see the boards, I cannot figure out how to filter based on board! Intuitive, it's not. I think this new interface was put in because in the previous one when you clicked on the LabVIEW board there was a text box that got filled in with 170 (the board ID), which was even less clear. Yes, I remember discussion on this confusion - that's the text box that used to be populated that is now missing (see picture above).
3. I would like to see some more significant digits instead of "about 3000 posts". This may be a query limitation, but I suspect it's a front-end formatting issue that can be resolved easily.
Frankly, I think when you have that many results it's somewhat irrelevant whether the number displayed is 3000 or 3010. I mean, what difference does it make? Clearly it indicates that your search query is too vague. Information comes in many forms. From ground level, I agree completely, but at 10k feet up these assumptions are no longer relevant.
4. Still cannot perform a search with an empty search query. This field should not be required, given other search parameters are provided (Username/ID, or Date Range, or ...).

Are you're referring to the Advanced Search page? I'm able to enter a search without a search query. For example, I can search for all posts by me. You're right - supplying Username/ID relieves the requirement of a search query, but simply specifying board and date range does not relieve the constraint. I was too generic with my anecdote. Point remains though - I would love a less constrained interface for searching, like it used to be before the upgrade!
5. It's irksome that the only way to access the Advanced Search is by performing a quick search first. The Advanced Search link is only accessible once you're in the realm of the Search page.
AGREED!!!!
