OAF DFF Context Issue

Hi All,
I am working On DFF
I can able to display elements, based on DFF Context.
But I want to Hide the Global Data Element Context Segments by Controller Extension,
not by Personalization.
I am getting error while Rendering False to Global Data Element Context Segments.
Also how can we set the Context based on Reference field.?
Please Help me on this..

Hi,
As per OAF development team using java script is not recommended and Oracle does not support any javascript related personalizations.
For custom pages when we are left with no choice we can use javascript. Refer
http://mukx.blogspot.com/2007/07/javascript-in-oa-framework.html
Coming to using javascript in seeded pages, my point of view is:
as long as a specific project has production support team is there we can use javascript for personalizations.
Most of the times we do extend controller for extention requirements in seeded page, but in R11 as per Dev guide "There is no guarantee that controller extensions will survive an upgrade (you should assume that they will not).".
So considering this I use javascript wherever only CO extention is required, since both are not supported by oracle :) .

Dynamically setting DFF Context

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to dynamically set the DFF context in the CO of the page (depending on various circumstances)
I have used setFlexContext in the following code to successfully set the context for my DFF in the Requisition Headers page:
          //Set the context on the Requisition Header DFF.
          OADescriptiveFlexBean dffBean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("XXNRReqHeaderDFF");
          try {
                    if (dffBean != null) {
                         pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Ravi: Found XXNR DFF Bean. Setting Context to COOM", 4);
                         dffBean.setFlexContext(pageContext, "COOM");
                         dffBean.mergeSegmentsWithParent(pageContext);
                         dffBean.processFlex(pageContext);
                    else {
                         pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Ravi: Did not find DFF Bean", 4);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Ravi: Could not set the Context", 4);
               e.printStackTrace();
This was a simple page with only one Header DFF instance and the code above works perfectly.
Now I wish to use the same code to set the DFF context on the Requisition Lines Page. The above code does not work there.
The problem is that in the lines page, the DFF gets replicated for each of the requisition Line on the page and I am not able to figure a way out to set context for each individual line.
Did anyone face similar issues before/have any ideas on how to tackle this?
TIA!
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Please refer below code
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).invokeMethod("refreshDetail");
pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage(null,true,null,(byte)0);
public void refreshDetail()
Row[] rows = getFndApplicationVO().getFilteredRows("selection","Y");
if (rows != null)
getFndApplicationVO().setCurrentRow(rows[0]);
Please refer topic "Descriptive Flexfield in a Master/Detail Page" in Jdev guide.

Unable to set DFF context value

Hi,
i want to set DFF context value with a variable, so i tried first to set it with a constant.
in the controller's PR
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
// first, find the flexfield's handle
OADescriptiveFlexBean oaDFF;
oaDFF = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("DescFF");
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this,"oaDFF=>"+oaDFF ,1);
// default the Attribute Category (DFF context)
oaDFF.setFlexContext(oapagecontext,"QuietanzaErarioStato");
oaDFF.processFlex(oapagecontext);
but it doesn't take any effect, the context's pickilist remains blank.
However i tried the same code with another DFF and it worked. i am wondering if there is some differences between the two DFF.
Any help will be appreciated, it'quite urgent
Thanx

Hi,
Please create a new region thru personalization before the region where u r DFF is present. Use re-order to take the new region before the DFF region.
Set the controller to that new region and the code that you mentioned. This process will sets the context.
Kindly refer the dev guide as i found the above solution from devguide it self.
Thanks

Funtion of DFF Context Field in OAF

Hi, there
I use the funtion of Context Field in Descriptive Flexfield. The segments should be different according to the context field values. The funtion of Context Field works in the form, but it doesn't work in the OAF. I don't know how to solve it.
Best Regards
Peter

Hi
Extend the controller and use the belwo code in PR method
OADescriptiveFlexBen DFFbean=(OADescriptiveFlexBen) webbean.findIndexedChildRecursive (ID of DFF Region)
DFFbean.processFlex();
Thanks

Set default values in DFF context programatically in OAF

Hi Guru's,
In our environment, we have one Context sensitive DFF named Party Information having following context:
GUEST
COMPANY
AGENCY
BANK
SUPPLIER
Now the requirement is if Create Customer page renders, this DFF should show only values- GUEST, COMPANY, AGENCY.
We can not disable the context values BANK, SUPPLIER because this DFF is used at many place so we have to use such logic, if Create Customer page renders
it should display only three context programatically.
I can default the one context programatically by below statement-
OADescriptiveFlexBean custinfoDFFBean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("personFlex");
if (custinfoDFFBean!= null)
custinfoDFFBean.setFlexContextCode(pageContext, "GUEST");
custinfoDFFBean.setContextListRendered(false);
but don't know how to default with three context.
Could anyone please help me on this?
Thanks...

Person DFF Context Value based on 2 criteria (Business Group and Emp Type)?

Hello,
We're implementing HR module into multiple business groups.
I need to define context value for DFF "Additional Personal Details" based on 2 criteria Business Group ID and Employee Type
Any idea how to do it?
Thank you
Elie

Hello Elie,
I am not sure on it,However have you tried creating a context with combination of Business Group and Person Type using merging,
business_group_id || "_"|| person_type_id And structures would be something like 80_2112 Business Group id = 80 and Person Type id=2112.
It may resolve your issue if this works out.

11.5.9 iExpense DFF LOV issue

Hi All,
in 11.5.9 iExpense implementation i am facing a issue in the DFF LOV's.
In 11.5.9 the DFF's are dynamically rendered in detailsCO. Some of the DFF's have a LOV attached. which is rendered along with a torchlite symbol
1. if user types in say 'Yes' and there is one matching value ideally it should not open the search region, but it always opens the search window.
* This issue is not there in any other object (non Dff objects) which has serach capability.
* This issue is not there in 11.5.10 instance , as Oracle has removed the DetailsCO completely.
is this something do with a property?
2. Can i set the property to show an advance search window (with and or options) instead of standard one (with one search criteria at a time - current functionality)? if yes means which property i have to set ?
thanks in advance

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks for your advice. The usage of context sensitive flexfield is working for most of the scenarios, but failed while trying to add an employee as contact to other emplyee.
In the contact screen, the newly added contact is reffered with contact type as employee.
The error message is given below.
PP-FND-01242: Cannot read value from field PERSON.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
Cause: The field PERSON.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER could not be located or read.
Action: This error is normally the result of an incorrectly-entered field name string in a trigger, or a field name string that does not uniquely specify a field in your form. Correct your trigger logic to precisely specify a valid field.
Thanks.

Graphical Message Mapping - context issue

Hi experts,
This is the source structure I have http://www.flickr.com/photos/45449397@N03/4273866518/
Now, for the target segment, I need to do the following:
For every block of EAN, I need to check the CHECK fields.
So for EAN 1111, I see 4 X's. But I need to check the distinct values.
So, 1 x for CHECK_1, 1 x for CHECK_2 and 1 X for CHECK_5.
As soon as there is an X, I need to create a target. Even if there are several X values in the same column, I only need it once.
--> target will be 3 different segment groups.
For EAN 2222, I only need 1 target segment group.
Please advice.
Thanks a lot!
Dimitri

I was about to write this that you will face this blank issue.
You have to remove those blank vaues. We have to choices to do that either we modify the current UDF or we write one more very samll advanced UDF of type "queue".
If we go for option 2 then the new UDF2 code will be like this..
while creating the udf just select the type as queue (you will see 3 options: single value, context & queue)
I guess the default argument will be "var1", if yes you can leave it as it is and the just copy and paset the code.
for (int i = 0; i < var1.length; i++ )
if (! var1<i>.equals(""))
result.addValue( var1<i> );
Now the mapping will be something like this..
Source --> old UDF--->RemoveContext--->new UDF --->Target.
But if you like to go for option 1 then first change the type of UDF to Queue and then in the code modify the "return" statement e.g.
if (RegTH.equals('X'))
result.addValue( ExpTH );
else if (RegHI.equals('X'))
result.addValue( ExpHI );
else if (RegLO.equals('X'))
result.addValue( ExpLO );
else if (RegPE.equals('X' ))
result.addValue( ExpPE );
else if (RegLOW.equals('X'))
result.addValue( ExpLOW );
result.addValue( ResultList.SUPPRESS );
Note: for option 1 you have to set context of source value to their heighest level, so that there shouldn't be a context change. Or you can use RemoveContext.

OAF-UCM integration - Issue in deploying RIDC.jar to EBS server

Hi ,
We are doing OAF-UCM integration with followng business scenario and need your help urgently.
Business Scenario :
We have custom OAF pages with OA train and and in one train link we have added 'managed attachment' button to open UCM page to add documents to DM server .
We are successfully able to do integration of OAF to UCM , that is we are able to open UCM page on clicking Managed attachment button.Business agreed that OAF and UCM are two different applications so after transaction is completed in UCM, at OAF we have refresh button which user has to clicked explicitly to pull document metadata ( lilke PDF URL etc) to OAF pages.
This is data needs to stored in EBS tables as well , to achive the same we are using RIDC mechanism to PULL the data stored corresponding on 1 unique metadata.
I m successfully able to integrate the PULL( Sychnonizaton) of data on click on refersh button of OAF page. RIDC ( UCM version 11g) is correctly configured in Jdev10g and working fine on local oc4j server,
Problem :
When this RIDC is jar is deployed in EBS server I m getting following error -
Request URI:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp
Exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/stellent/ridc/IdcClientException
We have added RIDC jar(actual physical path is =/APPS/XXXXXXX/common/java/) file name in jserv.properties and also added in CLASS PATH
# Custom classpath
wrapper.classpath=/APPS/XXXXXXX/common/java/oracle.ucm.ridc-11.1.1.jar
Appreciate if some can provide pointers how to deploy this external jar file (RIDC.jar) and avoid this error.
Many Thanks ,
Ashish

Ok, Figured out the issue,
Values in the OAF_AXF_CMD_PARAMS table was not matching with the actual attributes on the OAF pages. The four values
Entity Name, Primary Key, View Object and Attributes are to be entered for each page where we are intending to have the MA button.
Thanks,
Rajiv.

Hi Bhargava,
That measure would be "delegate measure". change that to SUM.
For delegate measure we have to SUM function in WEBi variable. Otherwise multiple values cant be summed up.

Customized OAF page -- Duplicates Issue

Hi All,
We have a customized OAF page which allows user to perform the below operations,
1. Query for records
2. Add a new row
3. Save the changes
Issue is 3 of the fields in the page are of unique combination. We perform the validation to ensure unique values only get stored, if user tries to enter an value combination which already exists then system throws an error. But when user enters valid records and save it, the previously entered wrong data also gets stored to database.
I have explained the scenario below, Item id/global code/local code are the unique combination fields
1. User enters below values
ITEM ID GLOBALCode LocalCode Desc
IT123 100 100 T1
Saved successfully.
2. User now enters below values
ITEM ID GLOBALCode LocalCode Desc
IT123 100 100 T2
When tries to save, get error message as Combination already exist. If i search for item id IT123 and Global code 100 it shows only 1 row
3. User now enters below values
ITEM ID GLOBALCode LocalCode Desc
IT123 100 101 T3
Saves the data successfully. But if i search for item id IT123 and global code 100 i am getting 3 rows as below,
ITEM ID GLOBALCode LocalCode Desc
IT123 100 100 T1
IT123 100 100 T2
IT123 100 101 T3
Errored out record in step 2 also got inserted. Please assist if any of you have faced similar issue else provide some pointers in resolving the issue.
Thanks,
Rajesh SM.
