Non-base fields and Gridcontrol navigation problems

I have a table running perfectly in Swing. Now I need to put the database behind it. The problem?
The table needs to be tied to three different tables.
I have 7 fields.
Field 1,3,6 - the display value is derived from another table(s). The actual ID is stored in Table 1.
What is the best way to do this? I have created a view object that combines 3 entities and does great if I want to query only.
But the user wants the ability to arrow down to a blank row and enter the data. Also the ability to insert a row in the middle of the table at any time. I have tried several commands for this and they all fail. Where is my non-base table item and my pre and post insert triggers. I need them badly.
When running my view object from test I made only one table updateable and the others read only. It does not let me insert a record. If I change this and make all of them non read-only the test gives me a non-column error.
I am thinking about attaching the rowset to a vector and capturing things that way while manually updating the rowsets in the background.
HELP PLEASE!
Linda

Well kkirk. I have had some success with this. I create a view and then created the the INSTEAD OF insert trigger. I will finish the other triggers after I prove this works.
Then I did a most important step and tried the insert in SQL. Success! Grin:)
Then I created an entity object based on this database view.
The difference between this and a normal entity is I cannot select the refresh on insert check box. It tries to insert into the database with a RETURNING clause. This throws a ORA-22816: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause.
So even though the record is getting created correctly in the database with the correct sequences the view_object will not bring the resulting id's back. I am working on refreshing this via code.
I tried the doselect(false) that was posted in another thread but it does nothing but give me a stinkin error. So I am waiting on information about the postattribute() function.
Onward with the shovel! dig dig dig
Nothing like a great pair of overalls to dig in!

WebDynpro ABAP and Portal Navigation problem

Hi all,
I've a problem with triggering Portal navigation from a custom WD4A application.
The request is to have an "Exit" button implemented and if pressed, the portal goes back to the top page:
--> Search
   --> Kind of Search
      --> WD4A -> Exit goes back to "Search"
I've tried using absolute_navigation/relative_navigation methods from interface if_wd_portal_integration, but they do not work at all.
It seems that the portal totally doesn't care about the request and remains still.
Methods are called passing the PCD of the "Search" page (i've tried even with the ROLES).
Anyone has an idea?
By the way, I was thinking about raising some kind of "standard" event like "navigate" or something...I don't know if it's applicable.
Thanks in advance,
R.

Hi,
If you are navigating from one WD Application to another you can either use URL or Object Based Navigation.
In URL Method you can call the target application from the source application.
You can create the method in the Window of WD Component.
You also need to create exit plug (outbound) with parameter url (type string) and specify the plug type as Suspend.
Trigger this method as desired by you in your application.
CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>construct_wd_url
    EXPORTING
      application_name = 'TARGET_APPLICAITON_NAME'
    IMPORTING
      out_absolute_url = lv_url.
CONCATENATE lv_url '?sap-client=' sy-mandt '&sap-language=' sy-langu '
INTO        lv_url.
wd_this->fire_exit_plg(
    url = lv_url                              " string
Thanks

When we change the non-mandatory field in the form, it doesn't get updated

Hi... I have one question here..
If I have non-mandatory fields in a custom form, and when I query the form and change the value in the non-mandatory field and click on save, then it doesn't save. It says 'No Changes to Save'. But, it's not the same for non-mandatory fields.
Can you please suggest me?
-vrdida

VRdida,
If I understand correctly, you have a non-Required item in your form that has an LOV assigned. While this item is Required=No, it works correctly. When you change the Required property of the item to 'Yes' then it fails. When this occurs, do you get an error message? Are you able to select a value from the LOV?
It sounds like the Required=Yes property might be preventing you f rom opening the LOV. Try setting the Module property: Defer Required Enforcement = Yes. This is the typical setting in an EBS form. This is what allows you to navigate out of a Required field if the value is NULL, but will give you a Required message when you attempt to save the record if the value is still NULL.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Sorting by non-base table fields in Oracle Forms

I have a form with a block that associated with a table.
There are several base table fields and several non-base table fields displaying information in this block.
I need to sort the data in this block by non-base table fields.
Is this possible without rewriting the form so that the block is not associated with a base table, and then manually populating the block?

Hi mark
You could do the following
Create a database function on the server,
The function should return the value that you want to order by.
In your form update the ORDER BY clause to use the function
Example:
Assume you have a block base on the employee table,
and you want to order by the department name not the department no (The employee table only contains the department no)
The function will be
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "TEST_ORDER" (pDEPT_NO NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
DptName VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT DEPT_NAME
INTO DptName
FROM DEPT
WHERE DEPT_NO = pDEPT_NO;
RETURN DptName;
END;
The form block ORDER BY Clause will be
TEST_ORDER(DEPT_NO)
Hope this will solve your problem

Problem consistently printing via new (summer 2011) AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION and Brother wireless printer (model HL5370DW). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer. I'm a newb here and will try to offer as much detail as I can about the dilemma at hand.
Scenario: Home network has been recently set up for wireless internet access via NEW Airport Extreme Base Station (purchased September 2011). Units accessing the network include: 2011 Macbook Pro, 2011 Macbook Air, 2007 Macbook, 2009 Macbook Pro, 2 iPhone 3GSs, and a 1st-gen iPad (and a partridge in a pear tree AEBS is configured to run WPA2 encrypted network, as well as a WPA2 guest network. I am attempting to yoke a BROTHER HL5370DW wireless B or G/ ethernet / usb-capable printer to the main network such that any and all units can print wirelessly or its equivalent (i.e., via printer hooked to AEBS through USB hub)
Problem: Despite configuring the Brother printer to recognize the main WPA2 network I created, I am unable to get wireless printing to work. My workaround was to physically connect Brother printer to AEBS via USB, specifically using a Belkin USB hub (after all, I wanted access to usb drives, as well as the printer). This workaround works ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. Generally, after a fresh boot of any computer or after a restart of the AEBS, any given computer will be able to print (i.e., any computer wirelessly connected to the main WPA2 network recognizes the printer). HOWEVER, at random times, printer access is gone (as is access to USB drives connected to AEBS's usb hub). Wireless networks are still up and running when that happens. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE USB HUB's devices (i.e., printer and usb drives) to ALWAYS REMAIN AVAILABLE AS LONG AS THEY STAY CONNECTED TO THE AEBS? In other words, what accounts for the intermittent loss of the usb peripherals?
Sometimes, I just shut the airport off on whatever computer is having this problem, and the problem goes away. Sometimes, the problem is present across all computers in the house, sometimes only a few are affected. I can ALWAYS see the AEBS in the Airport Utility if the AEBS is connected to the particular computer via ETHERNET CABLE.
My theories:
- true wireless printing (i.e., without usb hub workaround) doesn't work because the N network somehow isn't backwards compatible with the Brother printer, which, i believe, is B/G. Although...isn't Wireless N networking supposed to work with BG devices? I did find a thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2570774?start=0&tstart=0 ) that explains some of the particulars of WPA2 encryption and Wireless B/G issues, but it was beyond my level of comprehension (I'm a psychologist, but not an Apple Genius
- The usb workaround is only intermittently viable because of some flaw in the Airport or Airport Utility that causes dropouts to happen when a Macbook Pro or Air's lid gets closed or one gets opened after having been at a different network (e.g., at my office).
QUESTIONS:
- Should I try to use my old router (7 year old Linksys WRT54G) as an access point and connect the Brother printer to that G-router? How do I do that?
- I wouldn't mind just relying on the usb hub method if I could just insure more consistency (i.e., no random dropouts of peripherals). How could I do this?
Rule out:
- wireless printing works on my printer - it was being recognized back before the AEBS. I had the Linksys router running a WEP network and had the wireless printer talking with no cables to the router and the computers. (I just don't want to revert to using WEP encryption given its lack of security and my trying to protect HiPAA related health information on behalf of patients)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

13 ASCII characters = 104 (aka 128)-bit WEP
encryption
If turning off WEP works, then you just need to
provide the cameras with the "Equivalent Network Password".
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain
algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords
(or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use
of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than
lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different
vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX
key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be
hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice
versa.
You may find the following article helpful:
- Apple article, especially the part about
"Third-party client to Airport".
Brilliant idea about trying the system with No encryption on... that DID solve the problem... almost.. once I turned off the encryption option, and restarted the Airport, I got a dialog box showing that the "Base station needs attention" but it didn't indicate WHAT kind of "assistance" it needed. Nonetheless, I closed out of the Airport program only to find that the indicator light, which had been Green, was now, flashing Yellow and I could not connect anything, including my computer. I opened the Airport program again and found the ONLY way I could get the Green light on was to select some sort of encryption option... then the light would go Green again but my cameras would not hook up again, and when I went back in and ONLY changed the option to NO encryption, I got the yellow flashing light and the "this base unit needs attention" warning...
I think your suggestions are almost on the mark... is there any way of reconciling the WEP coding between the cameras and the Airport??? Or turning off the encryption option and STILL have Airport work?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions... I really appreciate it.

Problem with Non-English Fields Output to PDF by JASPER in JDev10.1.3

I am using jsprx files(designed in i-report) to generate pdf reports out of an oracle database.
The non-English fields are shown correctly when I output the report into an HTML or when I view it with JasperView.
If I try making PDF files (JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile) the static fields containing e.g.Arabic/Chineese characters won't be displayed and dynamic fields from the database with non-English contents will be shown as ??? or null.
I received some suggestions about using PARAMETERS to feed the report instead of FIELDS, which I think can not be helpful in this case and in general.
I think this should be a common problem. These are the components I am using:
itext-1.4.7. jar
commons-digester- 1.7.zip
jasperreports- 1.2.8.jar
Any comment or help is appreciated.
Thanks

Tabular form with non base table field

I want to develop a tabular form with
1. A non-base table edit field to accept a value
2. Insert/update another table based on the input value
3. Also, computed field on each row based on other fields on the records (like post-query trigger in oracle forms at block level - for each row)
Thanks,
Rachna

Thanks for your reply.
Varad, I like the link you sent me. It has a lot of good information.
I created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process" that dosn't seem to be working.
Question, I created a manual tabular form with SQL Query and created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process", then I check for each record in the tabular form. If the old value <> new value then I update/insert in the new table.
Any step by step will be highly apprciated - to create process/validation etc.
Thanks,

Calculated non-base table field in a tabular form

I am struggling with creating a non-base table calculated field in a tabular form in ApEx 3.1
Can you point me in the right direction
I thought this would be fairly easy to do, but I cant work out how to do it
Requirements
1) Tabular Form based on a table with QTY and PRICE columns
2) TOTAL is a non-base table field, based on QTY * PRICE
3) If the Qty or Price changes, the TOTAL should be re-calculated
Example
QTY   PRICE TOTAL
===    ===== =====
3       5          15
10      50         500
20      3           60
Environment
ApEx 3.1, Oracle 10 and Oracle 11 databases
I recommended to upgrade to a newer version of ApEx but the request was rejected so Im stuck with 3.1

Thanks, but its not the solution that I am after
I am looking for a solution that will ...
       1) not require the calculated value TOTAL to be stored in the table
and 2) re-calculate the TOTAL when I modify the dependent values (QTY and PRICE) before I save the changes to the database
I am still looking for a solution if anyone can help

Ordering a block by a non-base table field

Hello,
I have heard you can order your block by a
non-base table field by using a stored function. Does anyone know how to do this?
Lisa

In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM user have to press ENTER or TAB key too !!
anyway he have to press something.
KEY-NEXT-ITEM and KEY-PREVIOUS-ITEM is a good choice.
You can create a timer who fire each second, verify that user enter something new in the field (by comparing old and new value), then do execute_query

Order by on a non-base table field

I want to order by on a non-base table field in a form. Can any body help how to do this in a form.
Thanks

Ramesh,
I am not sure of ver 4.5. But in v6i, I did something similar.
What I did was :-
1. Based the Block's datasource on a stored procedure and
not TABLE
I'm not sure if it can be achieved in 4.5. First check if the block data source can be based on a stored procedure.
Here's a sample code of what i did :-
/* Description : Using a stored procedure as a block datasource.
Author : Shailender Mehta
Create Or Replace PACKAGE my_datasource Is
/* Shailender Mehta */
TYPE outrec is RECORD (comp_id tbgp_gl_detail.comp_id%Type
,cc_id tbgp_gl_detail.cc_id%Type
,journal_no tbgp_gl_detail.journal_no%Type
,account_code tbgp_gl_detail.account_code%Type
,debit_amt tbgp_gl_detail.debit_amt%Type
,credit_amt tbgp_gl_detail.credit_amt%Type
,sort_order Number(1)
TYPE outcur is REF CURSOR RETURN outrec;
PROCEDURE outquery (resultset In Out outcur
,p_journalno In Number);
END;
Create Or Replace PACKAGE BODY my_datasource IS
PROCEDURE outquery(resultset In Out outcur
,p_journalno In Number)
Is
BEGIN
OPEN resultset FOR
SELECT comp_id
, cc_id
, journal_no
, account_code
, debit_amt
, credit_amt
, Decode(substr(account_code,6,1), 'g', 1,
'd', 2,
'b', 3,
'h', 4,
'f', 5,
'a', 6,
'c', 7, 8) sort_order
FROM tbgp_gl_detail
WHERE journal_no = p_journalno
ORDER BY 7;
END;
END;
Use the Block Data Wizard, which will guide you step by step what next to be done.
In my example, I'm sorting the resultset by the 6th character of the string Account Code.
In your case, you could join the main table by the one used in your POST-Query in the stored procedure and sort the resultset.

This may help you.
Example
I have a customer_id in my base table, but I want the data ordered by customer_name which is from another table.
Answer
You need to create a function in the database with an associated
pragma to specify the level of purity of the function
WNDS (write no database state)
WNPS (write no package state)
PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES(fn_get_dname, WNDS, WNPS);
Function fn_get_dname (p_empno in number) return varchar2 is
v_dept_name varchar2(40);
begin
select dname into v_dept_name
from dept, emp
where dept.deptno = emp.deptno
and emp.emp_no = p_emp_no;
return v_dept_name;
end;
order by in a block based on the emp table (assuming you want a list of employees by department name)
order by fn_get_dname(empno), empno

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems! I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way! So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE! That isn't including the other apps that have had issues! I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging! It is costing me more than just this monthly fee! And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues. Really Adobe?

Key fields and non-key field of condition table

Hello Gurus,
what is key fields and non-key field of condition table?
thanks very much!

Key field
Each condition table contains keys that can be used for creating dependent condition records.
for example let take condition type PR00.
PR00 uses access sequence PR02 .
Access sequence PR02 has following tables associated with it namely 304, 305 & 306
When you create a conditon record for PR00 with transaction VK11 or VK31, you have a button 'key combination' which is nothing but fields associated with tables 304, 305 & 306.
In brief, Condition records are always created using specific keys. Condition tables are used to define the structure of the keys of a condition record.
Non key field
For example take condition table 144 - sales deal basic data.
Table 144 is associated with access sequence PBUD.
If you check the fields associated with this table (click technical view button), there are three fields at bottom which do not have 'key' check mark -KDATU, PLTYP, KSTAF
So, when you create a condition record for PBUD, system does not propose these 3 fields in 'key combination' and hence are non key fields.
Please reward points for good answers as this would help increase the total donation that SAP will make to the United Nations World Food Programme.
