Missing Article: Warning of Unsaved Data Functional Pattern

Hi
I bookmarked an article a while back which showed a functional pattern for warning of unsaved data when navigating away from a page.
However, now that I need to investigate and impliment this the link is broken.
Does anybody have the new link, link to a similar article / blog?
Thanks,
Mario

Hi,
if you are on a recent version of JDeveloper 11g then this functionality is provided out of the box. Also have a look at the af:document tag on your pages. It has a property "uncommittedDataWarning" you can set to on or off so this functionality is present event for single pages

Warning on Unsaved Changes Functional Pattern

Overview
One advantage of integrated applications is users can easily navigate just about anywhere based on current needs. However, with the added flexibility also comes the increased risk of unsaved data accidentally being lost when navigating away from a page. Therefore, many applications typically warn the user when this is about to occur. Using the new warning on unsaved changes feature, 11g ADF applications can easily implement this type of functionality.

Hi,
I have a page with an edit form. The user can close/leave the page by clicking on different buttons (menu items, close icon, back button). In this case, the system should warn the user about unsaved data. Furthemore, I want to skip data validation. I tried to implement the "Warning on Unsaved Changes Functional UI Pattern", although this approach doesn't skip data validation. How should I do this?
I'm using ADF 11g.

Hi,
I am not familiar with the document, but options I see are
option 1: set uncommitted data warning property on the af:document to "on" (I am not sure, but think this is already available in JDeveloper 11g R1)
option 2: use the controller context (ControllerContext) of the ADFc task flow handler to detect if the transaction is dirty
option 3: use a managed bean that accesses the AM in the DataControl to check if the transaction is dirty
FrankThank you for the reply Frank. Below are my response to your options
response to option1:
I have already set the uncommitted data warning property on the af:document to "on" (yes, the option is already available in JDeveloper 11g R1) and even set the bounded task-flow inside the region of my page as "critical", but when I navigate to other pages thru the navigation items in my template header, the prompt for uncommited changes did not show.
response to option2:
Which class of my project will use the controller context to detect if the transaction is dirty? I have tried to google the uncommittedDataWarning property which lead me to the DirtyPageHandler class. I have read on DirtyPageHandler class API that in case I do not set an implementation the default implementation will be used- and if I me quote from the API -"that default implementation will always return false from isDataDirty and will do nothing in response to a trackNavigation call." I wonder if aren't there any concrete samples to make this work? As I understand, the uncommitted data warnings is one of the publicized new features of JDeveloper 11gR1. Nevertheless, I have tried to follow allong and did create my own implementation:
1.) I did override the isdataDirty method to always return true,
2.) override the trackNavigation method to "System.out.println("prompt");",
3.) and created a file named oracle.adf.view.rich.context.DirtyPageHandler in the META-INF/system folder of my project, and
4) created a one line text which represents my implementing class in the created file in #3.
but still nothing especial happened.
response to option3:
What exactly is "AM" in the DataControl?
Your feedback on this is very much appreciated.

Due Date function for Reminders

Apple needs to incorporate the due date function into the Reminders app so we don't have to do this separately from the icloud website
This is obviously a glitch,   if we complain enough maybe this will be fixed
currently the only way to set due dates for reminders requires being sneaking as this article explains
this needs to be fixed
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57495293-263/how-to-set-a-due-date-for-moun tain-lion-reminders/

I've found a way, but it's annoyingly complicated:
1. Export your reminders list (produces a .ics file)
2. Open the .ics file with a plain text editor (I used TextMate, but I'm sure any editor would work).
3. Search for the reminder.
     -Say you are looking for "Homework 5", you should find something like this:
          SUMMARY:Homework 5
4. Below that field (but before END:VTODO) there are 2 fields:
          DUE;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121108T140000
     and
          TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121108T140000Z
5. TRIGGER is when you want to be reminded. DUE is the missing due field if it doesn't match TRIGGER.
6. Modify TRIGGER to a legit time (24-hr, of course):
          TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121107T180000Z
7. Save and Import the modified .ics file back into a new list in reminders. Then, delete the original list.
8. You should see the due field now and be able to edit the dates natively within the app.
9. You're killing me, Apple. The due field would be extremely useful, especially for students like me. I wish the presence of the due field were toggle-able in Settings>Reminders.
10. While I'm ranting about my wishes, the repeat feature would be much more useful if the frequency were completely customizable (i.e. Repeat every [#] [wks/hrs/days] or Repeat every [1st/2nd/3rd/etc.] [Day of week] of every [1st/2nd/3rd/etc.] [month/week] and so on... ).

How to call a macro(check for unsaved data) before calling refresh button of EPM TAB

Hi,
I want to show a popup message for any unsaved data before USER hit the refresh button on EPM tab.
I write the macro like as below in module
Function TestForUnsavedChanges()
    If ActiveWorkbook.Saved = False Then
        If MsgBox("There is unsaved data, save the data otherwise u will loose the data. Do You Want to Save the Data ?", vbYesNo, "Warning") = vbYes Then
        bSave = True
        Else
        bSave = False
        Application.Undo
        End If
    End If
End Function
so how to execute this macro before Refresh ?
Thanking in Advance !!

Hi Nilesh,
Try to add this macro under Function BEFORE_REFRESH.
Hope this helps.

Confirm Dialog on Closing Web Application with unsaved data?

Hi all,
I am searching for best-practices or official solutions for implementing the following functionalty:
User is trying to close the browser window or tab (Mozilla Firefox) by hitting the "X". We need to ask him if he is sure cause there might be unsaved data.
The only solution we now see is the following:
- event "onbeforeunlad":
window.onbeforeunload = function (oEvent) {
oEvent.returnValue = 'Sure? Unchanged data might be lost'
Problem is that this event also runs, when youre navigating in the analysis item, e.g. expanding a hierarchy. You have to switch it of for every single Item with onmouseover and switch it on again later.
And further on: It still has to be bound to the data... if data hasn't changed, it shouldnt pop up.
Question: Are there any official suggestions from SAP? Seems to be a standard requirement. If not, do you know any better solutions for implementing this functionality?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Michael

try capturing the onBeforeUnload event and display a modal confirmation dialog asking the user if he really wants to navigate away from the page; and warning him that if he does so, all the changes he made hitherto will be gone.
However, you need to handle this intelligently since you need to identify if any fields in the form have changed and only then warn the user to confirm his decision to go away from this page.
You can do this by having a flag which is initialized to false but when onBeforeUnload event is fired, you would check if any of the form fields in the page have changed by iterating over each and every form field,and then setting the flag to true if some thing changed
the onBeforeUnload Handler will always return this flag, if it is true, you will get this confirmation popup, else the page will go away. To show a customized confirmation dialog, perhaps you would have to invoke the custom dialog call from with in the onBeforeUnload handler. When the user says yes, return false;else true.

Pop up Warning on Unsaved Changes

I have an ADF JSFF page.
It contains a drop down menu through which I could see details of a particular event b ased on the option selected in the dropdpwn choice.
<af:selectOneChoice id="socEventLevel"
                                    label="#{Msg.LOG_LEVEL}"
                                    value="#{pageFlowScope.ea_entUiModelBean.logLevel}"
                                    disabled="#{!pageFlowScope.ea_entUiModelBean.rowSelected}"
                                    unselectedLabel="#{Msg.SELECT_LEVEL}"
                                    valueChangeListener="#{backingBeanScope.ea_entEventLogTabUiBean.getLogDetails}"
                                 autoSubmit="true">
                  <af:selectItem label="#{Msg.VIEW_LOG}" value="0"
                                 id="si5"/>
                  <af:selectItem label="#{Msg.ERROR}" value="1" id="si4"/>
                  <af:selectItem label="#{Msg.WARNING}" value="2" id="si33"/>
                </af:selectOneChoice>
The moment I select one of these choices and try to navigate to another page I get a popup that says "This page contains uncommitted data. Would you like to perform navigation. Press OK to continue , or cancel to abort navigation"
How do I remove this popup ??
Thanks in advance

User, how should we know?
You did not give and information about the app, what's done before you try to navigate away, no jdev version.
You can turn the warning off completely, but i suggest you think about it first. If you get the warning, the transaction you are in is dirty. You loos every change you made if you navigate away from the page. Check Jdeveloper,Oracle ADF &amp; Java: Uncommitted/Unsaved Data Warning on page Navigation-Oracle ADF for info where to configure this.

Need milli seconds part in XSLT Date Function current-dateTime()

Hi All,
I am calling date function, current-dateTime() in XSL. The output format is 2012-04-05T16:38:01-07:00 (Without milli seconds)
How to get the milli seconds part...?
Regards,
Sudheer

Hi Arik....
At last i got it. :)
Followed the below steps.
Step1:
Created a String variable "currentDateTimeValue" in BPEL.
Step2:
I have used the below code in JavaEmbedding in BPEL.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
//Date Pattern looks lil weird. But some Web service accepts only this format.
sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-00:00'");//2012-04-14T16:24:00.578-00:00
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());
addAuditTrailEntry("Formatted datetime string is: " + formattedDate);
setVariableData("currentDateTimeValue", formattedDate);
Step3:
Created a Simple XSD with an element "DateElement" of String type.
Step4:
Assigned "currentDateTimeValue" value to "DateElement" element, in Assign activity.
Step5:
Now added this DateElement in Transformation activity, as a second source variable. Mapped this data to the required target element in my XSL.
uh-huh I got the output...
Thanks a ton ARIK :D u r really helpful...

Advaned warning for due date based on statuses

Hi,
While searching transactions, for the due date some icons are coming like(green squere, yellow triangle, tick mark, grayed dimond) and so on.
can I maintain these icons based on statuses. Presently tick mark is coming for one of the statuses maintained in the status management. But for this we didn't maintained any configuration settings at IMG --> CRM --> Interaction center Web client --> Agent Inbox --> Map item attributes to inbox Attributes --> Define advanced warning for due date.
Required quick response as it is business critical requirement.
Thanks,
Chandu

Hello Praeva ,
The event 1330 has a sample FM FKK_SAMPLE_1330. It doesnt even have a Standard Function Module.
You need to create a Installation-Specific FM and put your code to determine the Due Date based on the logic.

But its giving me dump. Are there any other coding of configurations to make?

Hello,
Plz do not write code in the PBO/PAI of a TMG.
You will lose all the code, once the TMG is regenerated.
It's safe to handle a TMG through events, since the code exist in a separate include.
Once the TMG is regenerated all you have to do is reattach the Subroutine.

Date function problems with dates from core not recognized as dates

Our core provides dates in two formats: YYYYDDD and MMDDYY (YYYYDDD for today [2/21/12] would be 2012052). We have determined that Crystal Reports is not viewing them as dates, but rather numbers. If querying on just a specific date, no problem. But if I want to use a date function like DayOfWeek, then things don't work.
I need a report to always provide yesterday's data - except on Monday, where it needs to look back at Friday.
I tried a criteria of:
if DayOfWeek(CurrentDate) = 1 then {DDMAST.DATOP7} = CurrentDate - 2 else
if DayOfWeek(CurrentDate) = 2 then {DDMAST.DATOP7} = CurrentDate - 3 else
{DDMAST.DATOP7} = CurrentDate -1
{DDMAST.DATOP7} is the date field from our core.
I tried this but got an error message of "A Number is Required Here" and it highlights the CurrentDate - 2.
Since we believe that Crystal Report is not viewing our dates as dates - but viewing them as numbers, what do I need to do to correct this? Someone suggested I'd need to extract each date portion (month, date, and year) and create variables to "build" a date that Crystal Reports would understand. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You're correct. There appears to be two branches in this thread.
To address your issue, Crystal only recognizes actual date types, ie. Months, Days and Years. Your serial date isn't a recognized date type so we have to:
1) Determine which format your date field is
2) Convert your number to a date using the appropriate formatting.
I am assuming your dates will either be 6 (MMddyy) or 7 (yyyyddd) characters long. If there are other patterns you'll need to determine that.
The problem I found is what does your date for today (March 6, 2012) look like in MMddyy format?
Any month before October would never have a leading 0 if your date is stored as a number. So you should take that into account as well using my logic.
I added that into the logic by checking for a length of 5.
NumberVar Full := 030612;
StringVar myDate;
myDate := ToText (Full, 0, "", "");
Select Length (myDate)
    Case 5: Date (2000 + ToNumber (myDate [4 to 5]), ToNumber (myDate [1]), ToNumber (myDate [2 to 3]))
    Case 6: Date (2000 + ToNumber (myDate [5 to 6]), ToNumber (myDate [1 to 2]), ToNumber (myDate [3 to 4]))
    Case 7: Date (ToNumber (myDate[1 to 4]), 1, 1) + (ToNumber (myDate [5 to 7]) - 1)
    Default: Date (0, 0, 0);
If you edit the first line and change it to:
NumberVar Full := 2012066;
You will also get today's date.

Unsaved data handling in ADF

Hi All,
Is there any way to warn the user about unsaved data when the user navigates to some other page from the current page (wherein unsaved data exist), out of the box in ADF?

Hi,
what is "another page" ? Is it another page in the same application, or a page outside of it ? You should be able to check the state of the AM transaction, calling isDirty() to check whether there is uncommitted data. This could be done in a PhaseListener. However, when the user navigates off the application then chances are not good you catch this

Using Date functions in DP macros

Hi all,
I am currently developing a macro in DP...and I need to do an action for the first period of a year.
I need to identify the first period for this purpose..I m using the date function Bucket_fiscal_period for this purpose but for soem reasons it is not giving a value of 01 for the first period.
The planning bucket has a weekly bucket pattern.
I tried to use the layoututvariable_set + layoutvariable and then bucket_fiscal_period to try and see if the values are getting set.But this seems not to be happening.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,
Anu

Hello,
If I am understanding your issue correctly you are trying to identify the weekly bucket in which the first day fo the year falls. To accomplish the same I guess the following should work:
OPTION 1:
IF
     WEEK ( DATE ( BUCKET_BDATE ( X ) ) = 1
       THEN
        LAYOUTVARIABLE_SET ( 'FIRSTDAY' )
ENDIF
OPTION 2:
IF
   YEAR_BDATE ( WEEK_BDATE () ) >= WEEK_BDATE ()
    AND
    YEAR_EDATE ( WEEK_BDATE () ) <= WEEK_BDATE ()
         THEN
            LAYOUTVARIABLE_SET ( 'FIRSTDAY' )
ENDIF
Hope this helps.

Auto Save the unsaved Data

Hi,
We can set up your SAP System to automatically log off users with no activity after a specified period of time.
We can activate automatic Logoff by setting the system profile parameter rdisp/gui_auto_logout to the number of seconds of inactivity you want to permit.
If you activate this function, the inactive users are logged off after the specified period expires. The system does not save data before logging off the user. Unsaved data in the user session is lost. The system also does not display a logoff confirmation prompt.
Is it possible to " Save " the data before logging off ?
If No, then why it is not possible?
Thanks,
Deepika
