Multi-Row Update form with wrapped fields

Hi,
I have a multi-row update form with too many fields to fit on the screen without having to scroll. Is it possible to wrap the extra fields onto a 2nd line.
So each DB record will actually span 2 srceen rows and fit nicely into my browser ??
Thanks for any help,
Brandon

It is possible, but would require some serious work on the report template, to create a custom row template.
I started to do this at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:191 but realized that it is hard work. Also, where would you show the headings for the second part of the row (split onto the next line)?
Instead, I would use the Show/Hide columns technique (client-side scripting) to reduce the number of columns shown. Search for it on this forum. Carl and I have some good examples out there.

Multiple Users - Tabular Forms - Multi Row Update.....

Greetings All,
Any comments, assistance, links, or even answers on the following situation would be much appreciated....
I have a Application Express 4.0 (Could upgrade to 4.1 if it would help this issue)
I have a wizard generated tabular form on a table, the form will show up to 600 records (rows) on a page.
Part 1:
The situation:
User 1: Opens the form and brings up latest data set.
User 2: Opens the form and brings up the latest data set.
User 1: Changes data for record 1
User 1: Hits submit. The data is saved.
User 2: Changes data for record 1
User 2: Changes data for record 2
User 2: Hits submit. The following error is produced:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "3EE15D666E9DBDC59D34CE4CFB3950C0", item checksum = "922DA12AE1E3D8856695745C4D2830D2"., update "<Removed> Error Unable to process update.
When this error occurs no updates get made to the table.
I understand that row 1 can not be updated, however I would like row 2 (and all other rows where there is no conflict) to be updated. I would then like to be able to highlight in the form the rows that failed to update (And reload the data in them from the DB).
Is this something I can achieve using my own MRU procedure, or in another way?
Can anyone point me to a good example, tutorial or book showing how to do this.
Thanks!

Thanks for the comments guys.
I have solved my issue in two different ways. Way one was not so clever, but worked, involving writing my own process for handling multi-row updates and would allow a user to fill in data for multiple rows (say 10) and have only the row with changed data rejected. V2 takes a very different approach, it uses Javascript, AJAX and the DOM model of the form to check when data is changed / updated by the user. Essentially, when a user enters an updateable form element, a AJAX request checks if the data has been changed. If it has, the value in the form is updated, and the color changed to blue to alert the user. When the user updates the data item, and AJAX request posts the new value to the database, where it is inserted. I had to build a bit of a framework to make this useable, and have to use dynamic sql in the database packages, but it work really well for what my users need! There are limitations (Currently it only supports date fields, text fields and drop down lists) but it works for me. It also involves traffic back and forth with the server each time a user moves the focus to a new form element, but it is a very light request and the work to do the select / updates in oracle is all based on a primary ke, so is ver quick.
Solution 1: (Would need to be made much more elegant):
1: Create a new text Item called P5_MESSAGE (To display error / success messages)
2: Create a new process:
DECLARE
l_cks wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
j pls_integer := 1;
vUpdatedCount number := 0;
vErrorCount number:=0;
vMessage varchar2(4000):='';
BEGIN
select wwv_flow_item.md5(firstname,lastname,age) cks
BULK COLLECT INTO
l_cks
from VA_TEST1 ;
for i in 1..l_cks.count
loop
if htmldb_application.g_fcs(i) != l_cks(i) then
-- Log error
vErrorCount:=vErrorCount+1;
vMessage:=vMessage||'Could not update row with ID:' || htmldb_application.g_f01(i) || '. This data has been updated by another user since you retrieved the data.<br>';
else
-- Do insert
vUpdatedCount:=vUpdatedCount+1;
update VA_TEST1
set
FIRSTNAME = replace(htmldb_application.g_f02(i),'%'||'null%',NULL)
,LASTNAME = replace(htmldb_application.g_f03(i),'%'||'null%',NULL)
,AGE = replace(htmldb_application.g_f04(i),'%'||'null%',NULL)
where ID = htmldb_application.g_f01(i);
end if;
end loop;
:P5_MESSAGE := vMessage;
end;
Note, this currently updates every row, even if the data is unchanged, this could be fixed by comparing the checksum of the data to be inserted with the checksum of the data in the table, if the same then no need to insert.
Solution 2:
Too complex to explain in detail here, if you need to implement this then let me know.

Multi Row Update for Tabular Form

1) I'm trying to understand how the built-in MRU works for tabular forms: While running through every row, does it check for changes before issuing an UPDATE or does it blindly UPDATE every row in the current pagination range?
2) If I need to write my own Multi Row Update process for tabular forms, could someone give me some tips on how to do that?
Thanks,
Pavel

1) It stored a checksum for each row that it renders. It calculates the checksum again before processing the rows. The UPDATE statement it issues has a predicate like where old_checksum!=new_checksumSo, it only updates the rows that have at least 1 column value that is different (causing the row checksum to be different)
2) See the howto at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html

Multi row update not occuring

I have created a tabular form using the wizard. This form will show three columns (and in addition a checkbox). I would like this form to be updateable in only certain instances. Because of that, I select the columns twice. I make one of them updateable, and the other read-only. Then I have a conditional display for the columns, so that the updateable columns are shown if a status variable in my page is 'EDIT' and the read-only columns are shown otherwise.
The problem is that the multi row update does not occur. If I show one of the read-only columns when in the edit mode, the update is done. Also it is executed if I show one of the editable fields when the page is not in edit mode. But when I show only the editable fields in edit mode, and only the read-only fields when in read-only mode, the process is not run.
What can I do about this? Why doesn't the multi row update occur?

An alternative is to control the updates by controlling the buttons. Only show the submit/update button if the status on the page is "EDIT".

Multi Row update using pl/sql anonymous block process

Does anyone have an example of multi row update using a pl/sql anonymous block process?
The reason I can not use the apex mru process is that the table in questions has a five field key.
My attempts have failed with a bad number.

Multi Row Update Error

Hello Everyone
I get the following error when attempting to perform a multi row update. Is anyone able to advise what the issue is?
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "F71A42E70B86E7C8A14343633169264E", item checksum = "43A7146FE322237B683C4139D66E4DC5"., update "CSS_PRODUCTIVITY"."CENTREDATAASSOCIATIONS_TEST" set "MONTH" = :b1, "TM1_PREMISE_NAME" = :b2,

hi oolite
i can't help you with your problem
but i have one suggestion
i don't know whether you created your tabular form with the wizard or manually
when you use the wizard
i would suggest that you try to build a tabular form manully
in fact it is a little bit more work but i think all what you have done by yourself
is more transparent and errors should be found easier
other suggestions take a look
Error in mru internal routine: Error in MRU
Error in mru internal routine
or search for error on mru
sorry that i can't tell you more

Conditional Select List in a Report maintained using a Multi Row Update

I have a SQL Report that is maintained with a "Multi Row Update" process. One of the columns needs to be ether a "Select List" based on a named LOV or just "Text" (Read Only) based on the value in the column. I have the UI working using a case statement and apex_items in me SQL but the Report Column is not marked "Edit" and the "Multi Row Update" process just ignores changes.
Any help would be great!

Just curious, why is the first parameter to in third TEXT_FROM_ITEM invocation NULL instead of 20? Also check your first parameter in your ELSE. Shouldn't it be a global number as well?
Did you try adding a hidden item to your SELECT statement? Something like:
(case
when CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID = KT_UTIL_PKG.get_kttr_uid_from_ref_val('SESSION_BILL_STAT','SESSION_BILL_STAT_1') then
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(20,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT_PRPR','','NO')
when CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID = KT_UTIL_PKG.get_kttr_uid_from_ref_val('SESSION_BILL_STAT','SESSION_BILL_STAT_2') then
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(20,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT_PRPR','','NO')
when CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID is null then
apex_item.text_from_lov(20,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT')
else
apex_item.text_from_lov(20,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT')
end) as KTTR_BILL_STAT_DISP,
apex_item.hidden(30,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID) MIRRORThen in either an Javascript onBlur event on KTTR_BILL_STAT_DISP or in a Page Process assign the value of KTTR_BILL_STAT_DISP to MIRROR.

More than one multi row update region on one page - how ?

Hi.
I have a page on which i want to use two multi row update regions ( updateable report with three buttons like new/delete/save ).
But i do not find a setting for the MRU-Process oder "Add-New-Line" Process that lets me reference this process to a specific region.
The problemm is, that after adding the second region to the page, the "Add-New-Line" - process only adds the new line to the second region and not to the first region anymore.
How can i make two processes where one adds a line to region1 and the second adds to region2. Same question is with updates too. How can i say that process on updates the changes in region1 and the other process updates the changes in region2 ?
Thanks for help.
greetings
bernd

Unfortunately, the builtin MRU process supports only 1 updatable region per page.

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed? We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once

How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information. However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data in the field which we have this edit. Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting. any idea how we can get around this issue?

You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

Saving forms with interactive fields.

I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am filling out a form with interactive fields and the purple bar at the top which states "data typed into this form can be saved". However, when I save the form and then reopen it, the form is blank. Is there anything I can do to save the completed form?

Worked for me (Yahoooo! Have been asking for this for over a decade)
Opened .pdf with form field in reader X1
Type in a few numbers into form field
Did a save as, save was greyed out.
Closed file, reopened in reader X1
Closed file, reopened in Acrobat Pro X, flashed without form field or purple bar, then 3 seconds later falshed again and purple bar and form contents appeared, seems to have to think about whether to show or not

XML form SPS13 error saving form with user field

Hello gurus!
After upgrading to SPS13 all XML Forms with imput field type 'user' produce error when saving data: incorrect user id. But I select user id from user list! ID can't be incorrect.
Please, help.
bestRegards, RO-man

Hi Roman,
I am using EP 60 SPS13 Patch 3, have you installed this patch ?
You have to create a sibling node, for instance "usuario", don't forget to define it as user (data detail).
Then you add a browse object in your form, and change action property as user.
Then you establish a relation between usuario and your browse object.

About Multi Row Update...

APEX support Multi Row Update, but it is only support have two or fewer columns making up the primary key. now i want to use 3 columns as primary key to update datas, i how to implement it in APEX? thanks
· Table Owner: The schema name for the owner of the table.
· Table Name: Enter the table name or view. MRD’s and MRU’s can only dynamically build SQL statements for a single table or view.
· Primary Key Column: This is the first column of the primary key for the table. It is used for building the WHERE clause for the dynamic statement.
· Second Key Column: This is the column name for the second database column making up the primary key for the table. The MRU and MRD processes can only be used for tables that have two or fewer columns making up the primary key.

How to Multi Row Update function in Manual Tabular Form

Hi All,
In my application I am using manual tabular form, for Update and insert i have written pl/sql process,
but i want to make use of MULTI_ROW_UPDATE function for update and insert operations.
How can I implement default tabular form behaviour in manual tabular form.
I am using:
Oracle Database 11g
ApEx Version 4.0
please help me, it's urgent.
thanks
MR

Hi Joao,
First Can u pl let us know your view is based on how many
tables?
If it is a simple view ,you can open the form in update mode
passing a parameter to it thru a procedure or thru a url or what
ever you feel like(form to form,etc)..I will give you an example
on how to open the form in update mode like below..
1.develop a form based on a simple view
2.Call that form Thru a simple URL
3.In the above you are opening a form with module id
ex:1234567890 in update mode and change portal30 to suit
accordingly..
4.You are passing a parameter called "ABCDEF" TO "NAME" Field to
that form for querrying..
5.Now the form will be opened in update mode and all the fields
are pertaining to the parameter "ABCDEF" and you can update the
fields....
II..Now regarding the check boxes i need to know which version
of the portal are u using..As for as my knowledge goes (up to
3.0.6) there are lot of bugs with the check boxes and check box
checked value is always "yes"(if u want to insert in to the data
base).So try not to depend on checkboxes and instead Combo is
the right answer till oracle portal is free of bugs.
No triggers are required for your requirement....
Hope i have answered your problem ...If any please revert back
with full details
Thanks
