OA Page Region Layout Question

Hi Experts,
I'm building an OAF page in R12.1.3 and need to put two rich contents side-by-side, i.e., two regions displaying left right in one page. However, I tried most of the layout in a page, all of them showed multiple regions vertically.
What layout combination should I use so that the regions go side-by-side in a page?
Thanks for your input!

For implementing regions side by side, try using below layout structure:
-- tableLayout
      -- rowLayout
         -- cellFormat
            -- header ("Left Header")
               -- messageComponentLayout
                  -- messageStyledText ("Field1")
         -- cellFormat
            -- header ("Right Header")
--Sushant

Hi user13319804,
Could we get you to change your user13319804 handle to something more like a name or nickname? (I'm Howard)
Sorry, you can't attach files to the forum -- as far as I know.
Yes, you can order regions. I begin by supposing you've sequence numbered them 10, 20, 30 , 40. Then edit each region 2 and 3, and under Grid Layout, choose for "Start New Grid" - No and for "Start New Row" - No. At that point the GUI should update to have "Column" - Automatic" and "New Column" - Yes on the next line. Set "Column" to 2 for region 2 and to 3 for region 3. For Region 4, leave "Start New Grid" - No and for "Start New Row" - Yes. That should place region 4 under 1. Try that.
Then you may need a refinement so that region 4 spans across the bottom of region 1,2,3 and has the desired width.

Howard

Multiple edition magazine layout question

Magazine(s) layout question
Details:
- There are 9 total magazines. The only thing that changes are the ads.
- I have all text set up in Master Pages and the Different publications set up as 'versions' in my file.
My issue:
I also need to ad a footer master (with page number, Publication name, and Date)
- Publication name changes for each version.
In the end I need one master with all magazine text assigned to all version. And a different footer master with page numbers to all versions....
any suggestions on how to complete this?

Either you can use Alternative Layouts in one document, you will need only to work on the first layout, the text in the outher layouts or you can the Content-Tools and Create LInk option to take the original and place it into the new document. Later you have only to update the links in the link panel. You can take by option the whole page with all elements.

How to I get on to page 2 when my document stops at the page 1 layout line and won't go on to another page?

How to I get on to page 2 when my document stops at the page 1 layout line and won't go on to another page?

Sounds like you are using a Layout template. These you have to manually link from textbox to textbox.
Try using a Word Processing template, it lists them in the sidebar of the Template Chooser.

Very intermittent missing page regions / report rows / page item values

My goals in making this posting are twofold:
1. I'm looking to see if anyone else has experienced this type of issue before.
2. I'm looking for ideas about what can be done to debug such an infrequent bug with serious implications.
Synopsis
I'm having a weird problem where very infrequently I will load a page and I'll notice that one or more page regions, report rows, or page item values are missing. If I reload the page the missing parts appear as they normally should.
By "very infrequently" I would say it happens to me somewhere between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 page loads, of course at my last project demonstration in happened twice in 10 minutes to my demo participants. I've attempted to debug this, but most of the techniques I know of involve reloading the page or reposting the form data and (of course) everything looks fine then.
Environment
* This has happened on multiple different pages, under ApEx 3.1 (Linux) and 3.2 (Solaris).
* I believe that so far I've only ever seen this under Firefox 3/3.5 under OSX, but since I do the vast majority of my development with this browser it's not reasonable to conclude that it only happens under Firefox.
Logs
* No application errors during this timeframe.
* Nothing of significance in the database alerts log (just thread notes and log sequences).
* Nothing of significance in the webserver log (just the usual mod_ossl connection errors).
Thanks for your attention,
Jason

Well, thanks for reading the post anyway.
While working through some debugging steps I realized that I was populating some of the regions as the page rendered using AJAX -- this would pause the page rendering until the AJAX request returned. I believe that a hanging AJAX call was the likely culprit of the very intermittent symptoms I was seeing.
I moved the AJAX calls to the last region of the page and added a javascript function that "watches the page load" by checking for regions by ID and looking at javascript boolean flags to let me know when the page is fully rendered. If this process takes longer than 5 seconds it notifies the user that something happened and offers to reload the page for them in an effort to fix the issue.
So far, so good -- but it will take a lot of testing to convince me that this case is solved. I hope my documenting this is helpful for others in similar situations.
Good luck,
Jason

Image from database won't display in page region

Iâm having difficulty getting an image stored in the database to display in an HTMLDB page region. Iâve consulted the tutorial in Sergioâs Blog and looked for relevant threads in this forum but am still having problems. Any insights into where Iâm going wrong would be very helpful.
Iâm using HTML DB 1.5.1.00.12 and database 10.1.0.2.0 on an x86 machine running Win 2k SP4. My browser is IE6.
First, hereâs the procedure I wrote to display the picture. Although the variable names have been changed this is substantially the same as the procedure in the tutorial:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_pic(p_personid in number) as
v_mimetype VARCHAR2(255);
v_length NUMBER;
v_filename VARCHAR2(255);
v_picture BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT mimetype, picture, SUBSTR(filename, INSTR(filename, '/') +1), dbms_lob.getlength(picture) INTO v_mimetype, v_picture, v_filename, v_length FROM TBLPICTURE WHERE personid = p_personid;
owa_util.mime_header(v_mimetype, FALSE);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="' || v_filename || '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_picture);
end download_pic;
Enterprise Manager tells me that the procedure is valid, and I made sure to grant execute to public.
Hereâs the source for my PL/SQL page region:
DECLARE
v_personid NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT PERSONID INTO v_personid FROM TBLPICTURE WHERE PERSONID = :P5_PERSONID;
HTP.P('<IMG SRC=â#OWNER#.download_pic?p_personid=â || v_personid || 'â>â);
EXCEPTION WHEN no_data_found THEN
HTP.P('No picture in system');
END;
When I run the page my region displays properly but I get the red X where my picture should be. A review of the HTTP serverâs error log tells me that the server thinks my procedure (HTMLDB.DOWNLOAD_PIC) doesnât exist. If I create a second PL/SQL page region and set the region source to just the display_pic procedure by itself, using a static number as the p_personid parameter, the picture displays in my browser, but as the only object on the page. Typing the URL http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb/htmldb.download_pic?p_personid=1 directly into my browser also gives me the âprocedure doesnât existâ error. So I believe my procedure works correctly but somehow my URL in the img tag is incorrect.
Hereâs my marvel.conf file just in case it helps solve the problem:
Alias /i/ "D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\CompanionCD/marvel/images/"
<Location /pls/htmldb>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseUsername HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER
PlsqlDatabasePassword @BTV4hSLn+NKXXGs045hwqYeJ+u2gWjROPQ==
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString BE4013882062404:1521:Robert ServiceNameFormat
PlsqlDefaultPage htmldb
PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_manager.process_download
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Again, any assistance that anyone can provide would be very helpful. Thanks!

Robert,
please describe your task correctly:
You want to create a link (in report) with download image capability, or you need to SHOW image in report? This is a bit difference tasks.
I solved this tasks, you can do both capability in one report. It easy.
1. wpg_docload procedure can be used only for download image/BLOB, not show it.
2. For both download/show BLOB you need dual link with two different procedures. One with wpg_docload call for download, another for show with htp.prn (not htp.p!*) call for show. Then you can create call both procedures from your SQL repors select.
3. Viola, all works perfectly.
*Note: htp.p inserts newline after every block of BLOB, so JPEG with size> 32K will be incorrectly shown. htp.prn makes uninterrupted output without newline insert.

First OAF page deployment - many questions

I am trying deploy my first OAF Page (HelloWorldPG). However, I am getting lost trying to understand the directory
structure. I tried to read through older posts from other users....but parts of their directory structure is different
from mine.
Development Steps:
1) Created new OA component page using the default package "oracle.apps.ak.hello"
The Physical location of the page is C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
I notice that it is also located under C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myclasses\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui. why does it get created in both myprojects and myclasses?
2) Created and attached the controller class (HelloWorldMainCO.class) as suggested in the dev guide
Physical location of the class file is C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myclasses\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
3) Build and run the page. Page runs with out any errors
Deployment steps(This is where I feel like I am running in circles...)
1) I manually created a directory structure "/hello/webui" under $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ak since I thought that it should match what I had on my PC. Is this step of creating the directory structure manually even needed?
2) Then I migrated:
a)"HelloWorldPG.xml" into $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui from C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
as ASCII after ftp'ing into in my UNIX via command prompt
b) "HelloWorldMainCO.class" into $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui from C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myclasses\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
as Binary after ftp'ing into in my UNIX via command prompt
3) I tried to import the page/region in to the DB using the following command in the command prompt from C:\JDEV\jdevbin\jdev\bin
import C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui\HelloWorldPG.xml -username apps -password <password> -rootdir C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\ -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=172.xx.x.xxx)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=<xxxxxx>)))" -rootPackage /oracle/apps/ak/hello
Import seems to have completed successfully without any errors. However, I am not sure if I gave the correct rootpackage or not.
JDR_% tables seem to be updated. I can vouch for only the JDR_PATHS table as only that seems to have the creation date.
PS: In the above import statement, I masked (only for this post) the password, ip address and the SID for security reasons. I am confident that what I used when importing is accurate.
4) At this point should I be able to run procedure shown below?
Begin
jdr_utils.PrintDocument('/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui/HelloWorldPG');
End;
or should I first create the AOL function/attach it to the menu and then run the above?
I tried running it, with out creating the AOL Function and attaching the menu. It comes back with the message "Error: Could not find document /oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui/HelloWorldPG".
5) Then I created the form function called "TOOLBOX_HELLO" with following:
Type = SSWA jsp function
HTML Call = "OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui/HelloWorldPG"
Now I don't know which menu to add the AOL Function.
As I mentioned earlier, I tried to read through several other older posts....however, I am getting confused.
There are multiple places in the above steps where I need guidance. Could any one pls. suggest/correct my steps in deployment?
Thanks

Hi there,
1) Created new OA component page using the default package "oracle.apps.ak.hello"
The Physical location of the page is C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
I notice that it is also located under C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myclasses\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui. why does it get created in both myprojects and myclasses?
The folder myclasses holds the .class compiled object files you deploy, the myprojects folder holds the .java source files.
2) Created and attached the controller class (HelloWorldMainCO.class) as suggested in the dev guide
Physical location of the class file is C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myclasses\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
3) Build and run the page. Page runs with out any errors
Deployment steps(This is where I feel like I am running in circles...)
1) I manually created a directory structure "/hello/webui" under $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ak since I thought that it should match what I had on my PC. Is this step of creating the directory structure manually even needed?
Yes. This allows your code to be separate from seeded code so it isn't overwritten on patches.
2) Then I migrated:
a)"HelloWorldPG.xml" into $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui from C:\JDEV\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\oracle\apps\ak\hello\webui
as ASCII after ftp'ing into in my UNIX via command prompt

3) I tried to import the page/region in to the DB using the following command in the command prompt from C:\JDEV\jdevbin\jdev\bin

4) At this point should I be able to run procedure shown below?
Begin
jdr_utils.PrintDocument('/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui/HelloWorldPG');
End;
Yes, that will show you that it was loaded into mds. This is only for diagnostic purposes, not always required.
or should I first create the AOL function/attach it to the menu and then run the above?
You can now to do the AOL function.
I tried running it, with out creating the AOL Function and attaching the menu. It comes back with the message "Error: Could not find document /oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui/HelloWorldPG".
5) Then I created the form function called "TOOLBOX_HELLO" with following:
Type = SSWA jsp function
HTML Call = "OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ak/hello/webui/HelloWorldPG"

As I mentioned earlier, I tried to read through several other older posts....however, I am getting confused.
There are multiple places in the above steps where I need guidance. Could any one pls. suggest/correct my steps in deployment?
You need to bounce the apache server on the middle tier to get it to work.
Hope this helps.

Determining page region through FacesContext

In 11g, what's the best way of determining which region (jsff) is currently being used ?
In 10g to provide conditional "Requery Condition" I used to use #{facesContext.viewRoot.viewId} on the group to check if the table or the form view was being used. This works fine for standalone pages but not for the new regions. How can I accomplish the same thing ?
The other place I need this functionality is for wizards where I am re-using a detail group between two different wizard pages (regions). On the entry page, the detail group is to be editable but on the summary page the group is to be read only. For this I could of course duplicate the detail group, make one editable and one read only and use different groups on the different pages still pointing to the same data collection. I would rather set the "Update Allowed" property such that I could use the same group in the two different regions.
Many thanks !
Cheers,
Brent

Brent,
You can use
#{controllerContext.currentViewPort.viewId}
this will return strings like "/EmployeesTaskFlow/EmployeesTable" for the table page, and "/EmployeesTaskFlow/Employees" for the form page.

Creating Items in Personalize Page region (HTML Pages)

Hi All,
Has anyone ever ‘created an item’ in the Personalize page region in Oracle HTML pages (IE: iProcurement)...or more to the point; does anyone know how to?
I have a DFF on requisition lines that I want to make context sensitive based on the supplier used in the requisition header, and ideally I would like to set it up within the Application.
From what I have read on other forums and blogs this can be achieved by created a ‘Boolean item’ based on the supplier and then referencing this item in the ‘required’ properties of the attribute (using SPEL).
Unfortunately I have fallen at the first hurdle as I am unsure how to create the Boolean Item (I have tried – but am unsure what to fill in on the form), can anyone give me any advise (hints, tips, step by step instructions etc) on how to create an item that returns True if the supplier ‘X’ is selected (otherwise return false)?
Regards
Carl

you might have chosen an automatic sort in the region properties, for thoses where you cannot arrange items.

I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

I've done this by dragging files from my user page to her drop box. In Finder, drag the required files and hover over the hard disc icon in the navigation bar on the left. As you hover, it will open another finder window showing the contents. Work your way down these windows into <Her username | Public | Dropbox>. Drop the files into the dropbox. She can then retrieve them from her user page.
Good luck,

How to Create Page Regions of Equal Size

Can someone please help on how I can Create the page regions with equal HEIGHT blocks organized along the x-axis_ - as in the apex IDE tool menu path (and many areas of apex IDE ): "*Administration -> Dashboard -> Users*" tab (apex 4.0 version)
You'll notice that irrespective of the report data contained in each of the region blocks on that page, the height of all the regions are well organized along the horizontal x axis and with same heights (row 2 specifically) :).
I'm having 3 regions on my page with Lists of links. But each region has different number of list-entries, thus my regions are not displaying the same height. I'm using Template 20 and region template as: "Borderless Region". Applying ReportRegiont template also doesn't help.
To summarize, irrespective of the height of the list-entries shown in each of my 3 regions on the page - Display Point: Page Template Body (1) - columns 1,2&3 - ", the surrounding region x-y height should be same - potentially equal to the y-axis height of the region containing the maximum list entries.
Thx in advance,
SV

Hello SV,
you can fix the height of region by this way..
Edit the region
In Region Header section put
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" align="left">
<tr height="350px" width="450px" align="left" valign="top"> //you can set height and width according to you
<td>
In Region Footer section put
</td>
</tr>
</table>
put the above code in all region of your page...this make your all region same height and width.
Hope this will helps you.
Thanks,
jitu

How to control width an height of a page region

Hi all.
How do i control width an height of a page region?. Say you have 4 regions on a page and want to tightly control these attributes, for example as a percentage of page dimension.
Is that possible?, Also can it be manipulated dynamically?
Best regards, Luis ....!

Hi Luis,
I don't know about dynamically but in the Region Attributes you can add 'style="width:100px" (or whatever value you want 10%, 25% etc.) to control the width
and to control the height you need to add:
<div style="overflow: auto; height: 450px;">(again or whatever size)
to the region header and
</div>to the region footer
regards

Page Region Height

Is there a way to specify a height for a page region and/or portlet?

Yeah,
In the edit view of the page you'll see a pencil symbol on each region. Clicking on this allows you to edit a region's properties.
Under the region properties you'll find both Region height and region width.
The default for region height is unspecified.
There isn't a way to specify the height of a portlet specifically. They just expand to fill the available space. The only way to do it would be to code your own.

Multi-Page Custom Layout?

So it's kinda hard to think of a thread title that succinctly lays out what I'm having trouble with here.
Basically, I'm wondering if it's possible to view a *SINGLE* page of a *MULTIPLE* page custom layout in the print module. It's quite possible I'm just retarded and am missing something simple, but when I add a page to the layout, it pops up in what is basically grid-view, with all the pages visible at once. Adding more pages just makes each page smaller. This is, obviously, not an ideal situation for doing layouts.
So, am I missing some totally obvious way to fix this? The print module does single-page views when doing contact sheets and whatnot, so I know it's theoretically possible. Or is it not doable in custom package mode?

There is a zoom page button on the preview pane at left top

XML page/region deployment without Jdeveloper

Hi,
As we know jdeveloper provides import.bat batch file to import the page region into MDS.
The requirement is i wanted to give some of the cutom deployment to the production DBA and they do not have Jdeveloper installed in their workstation .
Is there any way we can deploy the custom pages to MDS without have jdeveloper installation ?
appriciate your feedback .

DBAs may use XMLImporter class found on App Server.
The command is under $JAVA_TOP/oracle/jrad/tools/xml/importer
