Multiple form submissions - Duplicate Records

I have a standard form that is 'posted' with a submit button.
The program has a validation portion at the head and on re-entry
(post-submit) the data is validated and if there are problems it
falls back through display page code, otherwise it writes the data
to the database and then moves off to a different location
(header("Location: prog.php");).... BUT ... if you keep hitting the
submit button you end up with duplicate records! before you move
on!? Does anyone know hoew to inhibit this multiple submission?
Regards.
Patrick

Normally it works fine but if you click the submit button
more than once in quick succession this seems to happen .... it's
as if there is a time lag between when you click the button and the
system recognising the button has been clicked (or rather as the
form data is being validated, the submit button is still 'live') so
effectively it fires up more than one loop around the code if that
makes sense.

Forms 6i duplicate record copy

I am using forms 6i, I want to insert a new record in the form based on an existing record (so I do not have to type all the values)
is there a shortcut key that I can use to copy the entire record and then when I say insert new, I just paste the record I just copied ?

That being the case, when your form is running bring up the Default Key Mapping screen (should be Ctrl+F1) to see a list of all key strokes you can use. The F4 key defaults (in Forms 6i) to "Duplicate Record" function. Give that a try.

Script to merge multiple CSV files together with no duplicate records.

I like a Script to merge multiple CSV files together with no duplicate records.
None of the files have any headers and column A got a unique ID. What would be the best way to accomplish that?

OK here is my answer :
2 files in a directory with no headers.
first column is the unique ID, second colomun you put whatever u want
The headers are added when using the import-csv cmdlet
first file contains :
1;a
2;SAMEID-FIRSTFILE
3;c
4;d
5;e
second file contains :
6;a
2;SAMEID-SECONDFILE
7;c
8;d
9;e
the second file contains the line : 2;b wich is the same in the first file
the code :
$i = 0
Foreach($file in (get-childitem d:\yourpath)){
if($i -eq 0){
$ref = import-csv $file.fullname -Header id,value -Delimiter ";"
}else{
$temp = import-csv $file.fullname -Header id,value -Delimiter ";"
foreach($line in $temp){
if(!($ref.id.contains($line.id))){
$objet = new-object Psobject
Add-Member -InputObject $objet -MemberType NoteProperty -Name id -value $line.id
Add-Member -InputObject $objet -MemberType NoteProperty -Name value -value $line.value
$ref += $objet
$i++
$ref
$ref should return:
id
value
1
a
2
SAMEID-FIRSTFILE
3
c
4
d
5
e
6
a
7

8

(get-childitem d:\yourpath) -> yourpath containing the 2 csv file

Submit multiple forms with java

Hello,
I have a problem when I am submitting multiple forms with the javascript document.form1.submit();.
I shall explain what my problem is. I have made a JSP that contains some forms. In the forms I post values to external sites. so the action from the forms are http://www.example.com/employee/login. I post my username and password to this external link so I have logged in. So I do this for 20 different sites. so 20 different actions in 20 different forms on one JSP.
Now I have made one button that submit all of this forms. I do this with the javascript document.form1.submit();
document.form2.submit();
etc.
But this is not consistent and I wan't a sollutions in Java so I am sure that all the forms wil execute. Because now he post only some forms and some not. So i want a solid sollution. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance,
Henk

I had a similar situation a few years ago, where I needed to close sessions that my application had opened with different servers.
The way I did it was with a secondary browser window, which my "primary" window would control. I had a JavaScript routine that would set the URL of the secondary window, loop with a timer and check the state of that window until the request had completed, then send the next URL, until I had "fired off" URLs to close all of my sessions.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in doing, let me know and I can post the code here.

Removing duplicates record form a column

I ran this query to populate a field with random numbers but it keeps populating with some duplicate records. Any idea how I can remove the duplicates?
UPDATE APRFIL
SET ALTATH = CONVERT(int, RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 10000);

Prashanth,
You are correct the update does create the non-dupes records, it just doesn't insert them into the ALTATH field. I verify by running the select altath from aprfil table and the results are not the same records display after the updates. I hope I am clear
enough and thanks for your efforts.
Can you give example of a case where it doesnt work? It may be that values in actual were not duplicates due to presence of some unprintable characters like space characters.

Duplicate record should not allow to enter

hi
i have three columns
sno Number;
in time date;
out time date;
this is the multiple taulat layout :
User enter at run time values like this :
1 01:15 03:00
1 01:15 03:00 Here second record User should not allow to enter same Sno for Same In time and End time
Before entering the data the total no of records : 0
can u give me any suggestion.
how to validate the columns.

If you have a Unique Constraint on the table for these there columns it will prevent duplicate records.
1 01:15 03:00 Here second record User should not allow to enter same Sno for Same In time and End timeBy "Second User" do you mean a user in a seperate Forms Session? If so, there is no way to check if the user in session 2 is entering a duplicate of a record entered by a user is session 1 accept through the use of a unique constraint on the table.
There are methods available for checking for duplicates in the same Forms Session. Check out: Avoid duplicates in the same block and Forms: Record Group Processing (Duplicate Value Checking) for more information.
Hope this helps,

How to suppress duplicate records in rtf templates

Hi All,
I am facing issue with payment reason comments in check template.
we are displaying payment reason comments. Now the issue is while making batch payment we are getting multiple payment reason comments from multiple invoices with the same name and it doesn't looks good. You can see payment reason comments under tail number text field in the template.
If you provide any xml syntax to suppress duplicate records for showing distinct payment reason comments.
Attached screen shot, template and xml file for your reference.
Thanks,
Sagar.

I have CRXI, so the instructions are for this release
you can create a formula, I called it cust_Matches
if = previous () then 'true' else 'false'
IN your GH2 section, right click the field, select format field, select the common tab (far left at the top)
Select the x/2 to the right of Supress in the formula field type in
{@Cust_Matches} = 'true'
Now every time the {@Cust_Matches} is true, the CustID should be supressed,
do the same with the other fields you wish to hide. Ie Address, City, etc.

USE of PREVIOUS command to eliminate duplicate records in counter formula

i'm trying to create a counter formula to count the number of documents paid over 30 days. to do this i have to subtract the InvDate from the PayDate. and then create a counter based on this value. if {days to pay} is greater than 30 then 1 else 0.
then sum the {days to pay} field to each group. groups are company, month, and supplier.
becuase invoices can have multiple payments and payments can have multiple invoices. there is no way around having duplicate records for the field.
so my counter is distorted by by the duplicate records and my percentage of payments over 30 days formula will not be accurate do to these duplicates.
I've tried Distinct Count based on this formula if {days to pay} is greater than 30 then . and it works except that is counts 0.00 has a distinct records so my total is off 1 for summaries with a record that (days to pay} is less than or equal to 30.
if i subract 1 from the formula then it will be inaccurate for summaries with no records over 30 days.
so i'm come to this.
if Previous() do not equal
then
if {day to days} greater than 30
then 1
else 0.00
else 0.00
but it doesn't work. i've sorted the detail section by
does anyone have any knowledge or success using the PREVIOUS command in a report?
Edited by: Fred Ebbett on Feb 11, 2010 5:41 PM

So, you have to include all data and not just use the selection criteria 'PayDate-InvDate>30'?
You will need to create a running total on the RPDOC ID, one for each section you need to show a count for, evaluating for your >30 day formula.
I don't understand why you're telling the formula to return 0.00 in your if statement.
In order to get percentages you'll need to use the distinct count (possibly running totals again but this time no formula). Then in each section you'd need a formula that divides the two running totals.
I may not have my head around the concept since you stated "invoices can have multiple payments and payments can have multiple invoices". So, invoice A can have payments 1, 2 and 3. And Payment 4 can be associated with invoice B and C? Ugh. Still though, you're evaluating every row of data. If you're focus is the invoices that took longer than 30 days to be paid...I'd group on the invoice number, put the "if 'PayDate-InvDate>30' then 1 else 0" formula in the detail, do a sum on it in the group footer and base my running total on the sum being >0 to do a distinct count of invoices.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

How to find out duplicate record contained in a flat file

Hi Experts,
For my project I have written a program for flat file upload.
Requirement 1
In the flat file there may be some duplicate record like:
Field1   Field2
11        test1
11        test2
12        test3
13        test4
Field1 is primary key.
Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
Requirement 2
The flat file contains the header row as shown above
Field1   Field2
How our program can skip this record and start reading / inserting records from row no 2 ie
11        test1
onwards.
Thanks

Using spry select on multiple forms in same page

Greetings-
My apologies if this has already been answered but after a few searches I've not found my solution....
I have a web page with 2 different forms (completely different open form and close form tags) that I'm trying to get the Spry Select Widget to work in.
Both forms' Spry Select widgets interact as expected with the user with one exception; the second form continues to submit to the action page even if the user is trying to submit an invalid value (the docs suggested using the value of -1 so that's what I'm using). The appropriate error gets displayed to the user but the form continues to submit, which I don't want. Is there a limitation that I missed regarding the use of multiple forms in the same web page with the Spry Select Widget?
FWIW, I'm running the app on ColdFusion and even the cfform/cfselect won't work with the Spry Widget.... I've named and id'd all forms and form elements and still no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Hi Brad,
The preamble looks reasonable. I would like to make sure you are clear on the process.
The data needs to be rendered twice (i.e. a 2 step job). In the first step you create a trace file with the page count for each document in it...\trace"^define User:PageCountForTrans_@:TransCount. @$page.@LF."."
In the second step, that trace file is brought back in as a preamble file.
Please confirm that you are in fact passing the data twice.
cheers
Chris

Multiple Forms in a Flash Document and Posting Using ASP

Hello everyone!
I have some what of a dilemma on my hands. I am creating
multiple forms in one document using Flash and need them to post
using ASP script. I have been researching this for the last six
days, and I have had NO luck. I have noticed that all the
information that I have found is for one form, not more than one.
What I have so far is the Flash document, with 4 forms. The
basic idea is that a user chooses from a drop down menu (the
combobox) a location, and depending on the location chosen, it
takes the user to another frame in the flash document. The forms
(all their own movie clip) contains a name field, a department
field, and either a manager name a userID field or an employee
number as well as the basic buttons for submitting the form or
resetting the form.
So far what I have working is the drop down menu (combobox)
taking me to the proper frame and it shows the appropriate form.
The reset button clearing the form (deleting any information that I
have imputed into the input fields), but I have absolutely NO idea
how to get the submit button to work (I did manage to get it to
send me a message if there was nothing in one of the input fields),
and NO idea how to get the information to the ASP file.
Where there are 4 forms do each of them have to have their
own ASP file attached to them, or can I use one?
If anyone knows a site that deals with multiple forms in one
SWF and posts using ASP that would be greatly appreciated, or if
you know some actionscript that could be helpful.
Thank you all in advance.

That would be part of my problem, I really don't know ASP,
and I am flying by the seat of my pants.
The current script I have for the ASP file is:
<% @Language = "VBScript" %>
<%
Option explicit
Dim strfullName
Dim strdeptName
Dim strmanagerName
Dim strobjeemail
Dim strlocation
strfullName.Request.Form("fullName_txt")
strdeptName.Request.Form("deptName_txt")
strmanagerName.Request.Form("managerName_txt")
strlocation.Request.Form("locationName")
Set strobjemail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
strobjemail.From = "[email protected]"
strobjemail.To = "[email protected]"
strobjemail.Subject = "Program from " + strlocation
strobjemail.Body = "This user has completed this progrmam
from " + strlocation & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Name: " +
strfullName & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Department: " +
strdeptName & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & + "Manager: " +
strmanagerName
strobjemail.Send
Set strobjemail=nothing
%>
The AS code that I have so far is:
function formValidationChecks(){
if (fullName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Name";
else if (deptName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Department";
else if (managerName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Manager";
else {
status_txt.text = "Thank You!";
variables.fullName_txt = fullName_txt.text;
variables.deptName_txt = deptName_txt.text;
variables.managerName_txt = managerName_txt.text;
varLoader.load(varSend);
trace("-----");
trace("Name: "+fullName_txt.text);
trace("Department: "+deptName_txt.text);
trace("Manager: "+managerName_txt.text);
trace("Form validated");
submit_btn.onRelease = function(){
status_txt.text = "";
if(formValidationChecks()){
var lv = new LoadVars();
lv.fullName_txt = form.fullName_txt.text;
lv.deptName_txt = form.deptName_txt.text;
lv.managerName_txt = form.managerName_txt.text;
lv.sendAndLoad("mail.asp", lv, "POST");
reset_btn.onRelease = function()
fullName_txt.text = "";
deptName_txt.text = "";
managerName_txt.text = "";
So far my reset button clears everything, and the submit
button is tracing the content in the form fields, but it's not even
grabbing the asp page.
Any suggestions? Even pages that have tutorials that are in
the form of a video.
Thanks

Duplicate records found while loading master data(very urgent)

Hi all,
One infopackage in the process chain failed while laoding the master data(full update).Its showing the following error-->duplicate record found ..1 record used in /BI0/PTCTQUERY and the same record occured in /BI0/PTCTQUERY tables.
can anyone give me the solution...its very urgent...
Thanks & Regards,
Manjula

Hi
You can see the check box in the Processing tab page. Make a tick mark for the check box Ignore Duplicate Data Records indicator . When multiple data records that have the same key are transferred, the last data record in the request is updated to BI. Any other data records in the request with the same key are ignored.
Help says that:
To maintain consistency, ignoring duplicate data records is only possible if the data is updated serially. A serial update is when data is first updated into the PSA then, after it has been successfully written to the PSA, it is updated into the master data or text tables of the InfoObject.
If a DataSource transfers potentially duplicate data records or if you manually set the Ignore Duplicate Data Records indicator, the PSA Only update type is automatically selected in the scheduler.
hope it clears ur doubt, otherwise let me know.
Regards
Kiran

Duplicate record with same primary key in Fact table

Hi all,
Can the fact table have duplicate record with same primary key . When i checked a cube i could see records with same primary key combination but the key figure values are different. My cube has 6 dimentions (Including Time,Unit and DP) and 2 key figures. So 6 fields combined to form the composite primary key of the fact table. When i checked the records in se16 i could see duplicate records with same primary key. Ther are no parallel loading happening for the cube.
BW system version is 3.1
Data base is : Oracle 10.2
I am not sure how is this possible.
Regards,
PM

Hi Krish,
I checked the datapacket dimention also. Both the record have same dimention id (141). Except the Keyfigure value there is no other change in the Fact table record. I know this is against the basic DBMS primary key rule. But i have records like this in the cube.
Can this situation arise when same records is there in different data packet of same request.
Thx,
PM

Duplicate Records & CFTRANSACTION

Maybe I'm missing the obvious on this, as I've never had a
problem with this before, but recently I developed a custom tag
that logs and blocks the IP addresses of all these recent DECLARE
SQL injection attempts.
The issue is however that my blocked IP address seems to be
getting duplicates here and there. My "datetime" field in the
database show the duplicates are all added to the database the
exact same second. What gives?
Shouldn't CFTRANSACTION be preventing such a thing, even if
multiple injection attempts come at the same time?

I've always coded my applications where my primary key is my
database's autonumber field, and instead insure my coding is solid
enough to prevent duplicate records from appearing. Oddly enough
it's worked flawlessly until now.
Would not ColdFusion throw errors if I made the "ip_address"
field my primary key, and my code allowed for a duplicate record to
be entered? Am I interpretting the CFTRANSACTION code to do
something it doesn't do?
Also, the duplicates aren't causing problems, so a DISTINCT
select isn't necessary. The IP address is blocked whether one
record or fifty exist in my blocked_ip_addresses table. My goal is
just not to waste database space.
Any further help you can provide is MUCH appreciated!
Thanks!
