OAF page customization question - help needed urgently!

Hi,
To minimize customizations on an OAF page we are trying to handle some validations at the databse layer using a db trigger. The flow is that when the user hits Save on an OAF page and a certain column in a table is updated by the EO, a db trigger set on this column will fire off. Based upon whether the validation went through or not the db trigger might fail
with an error message. Question is will this message be displayed on the UI without any customizations so that the user knows what happened or will the OAF page just throw a null pointer exception? Also since OAF is writing directly to DB using an EO, will it be too late by the time the trigger kicks in and validates stuff and then based on if there was an error it rollsback the data? Can we rollback the entire transaction or not?
Please help!

Adding to Mukul's reply, yes if you are using OAF, let all the control be through the OAF. In your case any error in the DB will be sent back to the user in a very raw way which surely will annoy any user. Also we cann't comment on the rollback status.
My suggestion is to make use of a callable statement and call a wrapper pl/sql procedure which does all the validations for you (in case you have varied and complex validations) and returns a true or false based on which you can commit the transaction.

How to create an OAF page that does not need login to access

We have a lot of Oracle users, and everyday there are some users forget there username or password and need reset. I really want to use a web page to let them reset their passwords automatically. The web page will call the API to reset password if it found the user request is legible.
So based on the situation, the users should not need a login to get to this page, can I do this using OAF?
And idea is welcome, thank you for your help!

Srini,
Thank you for your response, I think we need to go back to my original question, is it possible to create an OAF page that does not need login, how can I do that.
I think I said too much and led us to go to a different direction I did't want to. But I am still glad to texplain why I need a custom password reset process, that is all about business requirement, here it is:
----I am not sure that "company issues" (such as what you described) can be solved by software -
I already have a solution for that. Create a custom OAF page, ask user to input his SSN / Date of Birth.... then I can figure out what his real username easily. And I can reset his password as his SSN or something which only this particular user knows. Then he can login.
----you may have to impart training to end users.
As I mentioned, most of our users use only Benefit self service. They only login several times a year, even they are trained this year, most of them will forget next year, this is just human nature. And because the nature of our business, thousands of employees may change at the end of a year. It does not make any business sense for company to prepare trainers every year.
----In any case, the functionality you require is already built into the product.
I guess the reason most companies hire Oracle Developers is that some functionality Oracle Applications provide is not exactly the companies needed. When there is Oracle Apps product, there is alway customization.

Some J2ME midlets doubts!! help needed urgently!!!

Hi,
I am currently working in a company where it does wireless technology like WAP and I am assigned a task of creating a screensaver midlet. I have some doubts on the midlets.
1) How do i use a midlet suites? From what I heard from my colleagues & friends, a servlet is needed for midlets to interact with one another. is it true?
2) How do I get the startin midlet to take note the phone is idling so that the screen saver midlet can be called?
Help needed urgently... if there is any source codes for me to refer to would be better... Thanks...
Leonard

indicates that MIDlet suites are isolated (on purpose) from each other, so you can't write over another one's address space.
Also, I believe (at least on cell phones) that you have to specifically enter the Java Apps mode; unless you do the app won't execute. If you are in Java apps mode and a call comes in, the cell's OS puts the Java app currently executing on "Pause" mode and switches back to phone mode.
Not sure if you will be able to have a Java app do that automatically.
BTW why do you need a screensaver on an LCD display? Is it really intended to show an advertisement?
Download and real all the docs you can from Sun, once you get over the generic Java deficiencies MIDlet's aren't that hard.

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

Need Help On OAF Page customization

Hi All,
I am customizing an OAF page based on client requirement.
My page has a header region(Say HDRRN), 2 line region (LRGN1, LRGN2).
Line regiond 1 (LRGN1) has 5 Items:The structure is given below:
ITEM1(ReadOnly, populated by a VO from FND tables)
ITEM2(ReadOnly, populated by a VO from FND tables)
ITEM3(Message text input)
ITEM4(Message text input)
ITEM5(Clear)
I am stuck in two places.
1) I have to add a search functionality on LRGN1(search should be on ITEM1, and ITEM2)
Please help me how to implement this. I tried to create another region(query) but it didnt work.
2)The clear functionality should clear ITEM3 and ITEM4 of the same row.
I am not sure how to implement this.
Regards,
Debanjan

Hi Debanjan,
Can you please try this
a) First get the instance of view object on which Item1 and item2 are based.
b) Now create a where clause using values of Item1 Item2, since it is a header you can use viewObject.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("");
c) Set the where clause as the string generated in step 2.
c) Execute viewObject Query.
d) for clear button get instance of Item3 and Item4 using webBean.findChildRecurise("");
e) instance.setValue(pageContext.null);
Regards

As soon as I add one more column in report common query, build query and main query Q_invoice. Report changes to new variables in report editor q_invoice itself for example from remit_to_address_id to remit_to_address_id1 , previous_customer_id to previous_customer_id1 and start giving error that original variables e.g. remit_to_address_id , previous_customer_id are not defined in the query.

Help needed Urgently- Rebate based on collected amount

Dear all,
I come across scenario while discussiion with client that they require rebate with collection. Details of the requirement are given below:
1. SAP rebates run on billed values & set the accrual in rebate agreement on the rate what we have specified in the rebate agreement. Requirement is that, If i have billed on 1000$ & my accrual value is 100$ with the rate of 10%. If i collected 800$ instead of 1000$, then i need to pay the accrual on the basis of 800$ not on the basis of 1000$. It means i have to adjust accrual amount on the basis of 800$. Conclusion is that i have to pay not 100$ accrual instead less then 100$ on the basis of 800$ which i collected.
2. In month 1 have billed on 5000$, my accrual amount is 500$ with rate of 10%. In the 2nd month i have to bill 1000$ and i have given an discount of 500$, it means my billed value is 500$ and my accrual amount is 50$@10%. In month 3 again i billed 500$ and my accrual amount is 50$@10%.
Requirement is that, when i am going to pay the accrual to client, i should pay correct accrual for which he is entitled for. Means i should pay 100$ accrual not 600$ because i have already given an discount of 500$. Discount which i have given already of 500$ should need to be offest with the first month accrual of 500$. So remaning accrual is 100$.
Great if somebody can help me out for the solutioning of the above requirements.

Thanks Ivano,
Somebody has started the conversation.
Let me put my questions again.
This requirement is nothing to do with Payment procedure in the agreement type.
1. In any month if i billed 1000$, so my account receivable would be 1000$. My rebate for that month is 100$ at the rate of 10%. During customer receipt if i collected against my invoice 900$ instead of 1000$, my accrual needs to be corrected 90$ instead of 100$.
I know this can not be fullfilled by standard SAP, by any thoughts on this welcomed.
2. I know Rebate can be settled partially or full settlement by payment method( by cheque, bank transfer, or by credit memo) we have configure in rebate agreement type. But here requirement is totally different.
Here, i need to pay the Rebate as a Discount instead of by cheque or by credit memo. While doing the partial or full settlement system will take into account collected accrual up to that day & apply as a discount to the final bill.
Scenario is like that sometimes customer asked to give us the discount on bill for whatever they accrued so far.
This is again cannot solved by standard SAP, but any thought by any body welcome. We have already thought that we need to enhance the solution.
Solution needed urgently.

Iteration of rows in table region.. help needed urgent !!!!

Hi ,
In my OAF Page ,user selects an account and clicks serach button,based on the account number the records are listed in a table .these rows are editable and a new row can be added to this region.
how can we iterate thru these rows and pass these values to the API which will store the values in to the database.
please do help me in iteration of these rows....i cannot do a vo.getrowcount and row.getattribute as this will get the values from the database and not the values from the current page.
I should iterate in the table region ... and it should also get the newly created row values when the user clicks the save button.

Help needed urgently on a problem..plzzz

hi..this is a linear congruential generator. I have to implement it and i need the execution time for the program.
for your understanding i'm providing an example below.
Xn=(( a* xn-1 )+b) mod m
If X0=7 ; a = 7 ; b =7 ; m=10
Then
X0 = 7
X1 =((7 * 7) + 7))mod 10 = 6
X2 = ((6*7)+7))mod 10 = 9
X3 = ((9*7)+7) mod 10 = 0
X4 = ((0*7)+7) mod 10 = 7
Now since the cycle is being repeated i.e 7 appears again�so the period is 4 coz there are 4 diff nos. i.e 7,6,9,0�..
help required urgently....your help will be appreciated...thankyou..

Hi,
I wrote the code so that it catches any cycle (not only the "big" one).
Otherwise it will enter infinite loop...
The time complexity is O(N*logN): it can do at most N iterations (here N is your 'm'), and in each iteration there can be O(log N) comparisons (since I maintain TreeSet).
Interesting issue: is it possible to supply such (x0, a, b, m) tuple such that all possible values from 0 to m-1 will be output? I think no :)
Here is the program:
package recurr;
import java.util.TreeSet;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class Recurrences {
     private static long x0, a, b, m;
     private static TreeSet theSet;
     public static void main(String[] args)
          long l0, l1, l2, l3;
          try {
               x0 = Long.parseLong(args[0]);
               a = Long.parseLong(args[1]);
               b = Long.parseLong(args[2]);
               m = Long.parseLong(args[3]);
          } catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
               nfe.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("X[0]: " + x0 + "\n");
          long curr = x0;
          boolean cut = false;
          int i;
          // initialize the set
          theSet = new TreeSet(new LongComparator());
          // we can get at most m distinct values (from 0 to m-1) through recurrences
          for(i=1; i <= m; ++i) {
               // iterate until we find duplicate
               theSet.add(new Long(curr));
               curr = recurrence(curr);
               if(theSet.contains(new Long(curr))) {
                    cut = true;
                    break;
               System.out.println("X[" + i + "]: " + curr + "\n");
          if(cut) {
               System.out.println("Cycle found: the next will come " + curr + "\n");
          } else {
               System.out.println("No cycle found!");
          System.out.println("----------------------------------");
          System.out.println("Totally " + (i-1) + " iterations");
     private static long recurrence(long previous)
          return (a*previous + b)%m;
     static class LongComparator implements Comparator
          public int compare(Object o1, Object o2)
               if(((Long)o1).longValue() < ((Long)o2).longValue()) {
                    return -1;
               } else if(((Long)o1).longValue() > ((Long)o2).longValue()) {
                    return 1;
               } else return 0;

Convert static html page to portal help needed

I have a page here. that I need to put in portal.
I am having trouble!
use banner for the top image.
use a region for the top menu links. This is "About, Registration, Security,etc...)
Because menu bars and folders do not do horizontal alignment of items, all the links (about, registration) have to be one item. Would this be text in a folder? If a folder, can I remove the nav bar?
One of my problems is that a lot of the content uses images. What is best practice for referring to images in content?
If one has a lot of html content (10 lines) , why is the best element to use for this?
Should I just use UI templates for everything?

Hi,
Depends. If you are going to reuse the layout, use a UI template. e.g static navigation , company branding etc.
If you need to add Javascript/DHTML effects etc, a UI template is good, since you can call them from your portlets.
As far as images go, don't place them in the database ! Place them on the middle tier and cache the folder
with an Expires directive.
hth
If it is for one time use, use an HTML Portlet.

Unable to allocate 27160 bytes.........Help needed urgently

hi
in my production database in getting this error..
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 27160 bytes of shared memory ("shared
pool","unknown object","sga heap(1,0)","session param values")
help needed urgently

If you have a program that does not use bind variables you can get this error.
In such cases you do not want to increase the size of the shared pool, but reduce it, and flush regularly. This is a bug in the application and should be fixed to use bind variables.
Another possible workaround is setting cursor_sharing = force, but this can cause other problems, so should only be used as a last resort. If the apps connections can be distinguished by user account or machine, then a log on trigger could be set cursor_sharing just for that application, to limit the damage until the vendor can fix it.

Help needed urgently to get the values from the jsp page.

hi,
I am badly stuck into this problem.Please help me and find a solution.
I am using ms-access and jsp.
my database structure is as given below:
m_emp_no | from_date | to_date | approver| status |
1002 | 22/9/2008 | 23/9/2008|1003 |pending

2044 | 15/9/2008 | 16/9/2008|3076 |pending
now this is exactly a leave apply scenario where a page is displayed and the user has to fill in the details to apply leave.then the approver has to approve that leaves so even, he should get the details in his account.
for example here 1003 has to approve leaves for 1002 & 1004.i am able to fetch data from database for the particular approver here is the coding:

this will display both the rows but when i try to retrieve the values into update.jsp using the code given below it gives me only one value which is the first 1002.
{code}approved=(String)request.getParameter("approved");
id=(String)request.getParameter("id");{code}
but i need both the values to be inserted into the update.jsp only then the approver will be able to approve the leaves individually with respect to the m_emp_no.
