OBIEE field reset

Hello,
I will try to illustrate my problem below:
TextBox -> information_generated(containing id) -> TextBox2 -> information_generated_based_on_previous_id.
The problem is the fact that, after i input new information in
TextBox and new information is generated, TextBox2 contains the id
from the last search. For example :
I insert in TextBox a number, let's say 12. Based on this,
information is generated, let's say a few rows with different
fields, among them a field called id. This id is inserted in
TextBox2, let's say 23. Based on this i get new informations.
Now i repeat the entire process, but when i want to insert new
information in TextBox2, i see that it already contains a value,
the same a previous one, 23. My problem is how can i clean that
field so after i repeat the process, TextBox2 would not contain
any
information.
Best regards,
Answers Seeker.

If you do not have any default values set up in the dashboard prompts, then page options--> clear my selections will get rid off all the selected items in the prompts.
But as you mentioned you were able to populate the second dashboard prompt value based on the first dashboard prompt selection? That can be done by using a constraint option but I was wondering how were you able to populate a default value(23) in the second dashbaord prompt based on the first dashbaord prompt value(1h2)

Partial Submit button and fields resetting

Hello
I have a button with partialsubmit=true
In the button's action listner event I open a popup and this popup contain RichInputText fields.
Before open the popup I am reset all of these RichInputText values by
this.geRichInputText1().resetValue();
AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(this.geRichInputText1());But each time I open this popup I don't see these RichInputText figures are reset. It just show off what was in the previous.
when button's partialsubmit=false, this works.
Is there a way to reset with partialsubmit=true
Thanks

Try setting the contentDelivery property of your popup to "lazyUncached". Otherwise the content of the popup is cached by default.

InputFileUpload field reset

Does someone know how to prevent the MyFaces inputfileupload-fields to be reset after validation errors?
We have a form containing some fields with the required attribute set on "true" and one InputFileUpload field. When required fields are left blank, the InputFileUpload field is being reset, which is quite annoying. I tried with a binding and a valuechangelistener, but nothing helps.
Any help would be appreciated/

Hi, there's a web page with a similar question here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=myfaces-user&m=115107482801503&w=2
"Is there a way to store the inputFileUpload file even if there are process validation errors on other components? I don't want the user to
have to re-upload a file if they forgot some other required field, for example.
Thanks"
The guy seems like he solved the problem in the end through a suggestion so it might help ye.
Here's the example he made afterwards:

Viewing and Removing the Time part of the Date field

Hi,
I have Date field in a table.
but in SQL plus when I do
select date from table
this gives me only the Date values and not the timestamps in the date.
I believe Oracle stores 'Date' and 'Time' in fields with Data Type 'Date'.
How do I print the timestamps also in the SQL query?
Moreover, if I have to extract the date field, reset the timestamp to 00:00:00, and store back the date field (with 00 time), how do I do that?
Thanks in advance
- Manu

Hi,
If you want to retry date and time you can:
SELECT TO_CHAR(DATE,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') FROM TABLE;
If you want truncate time when inserting in a table simply use TRUNC function
INSERT INTO TABLE (DATE) VALUES (TRUNC(YOUR_DATE));
To extract and insert with time 00:00:00
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (SELECT TRUNC(DATE) FROM TABLE2);
I hope this help you.

Reset button hides image box

I have a dynamic form where the users can import jpg images into the form. This works just fine, but when they reset the form, the image box minimizes and the users are unable to re-use the box without exiting the program and re-entering. Basically, my users are going to create a flowchart in Paint or Word, save the image as jpg and place it into the form. They will be using Adobe Reader, so it appears the field needs to be an image field. Is there any way I can make the field reset to it's starting size and position? A copy of the form is attached.

Hi,
A couple of things are going on here. When I used the ".h" property that overrode the expand to fit height. The trouble then was to change this to the ".minH" property; however when the imageField is null the min height went to zero.
Therefore I have left the script in the click event as it was (just the full reference for the exhibit imageField:
DiagramText.rawValue = null;
DiagramText.h = "0.8782in";
Diagram.rawValue = null;
Diagram.h = "0.6813in";
Exhibit.ExhibitBox.rawValue = null;
Exhibit.ExhibitBox.h = "0.6813in";
Then in the mouseUp event of each imageField I had the following which restored the "expand to fit height" functionality.
this.minH = "0.6813in";
Appears to work now. Good luck,
Niall

Conditionally coloured fields

Hi
I have a client who has asked whether fillable fields on an Acrobat form can be colored until they are filled in. So for example the unfilled form would initially have all the fields fill colour set to red. Then, as each field has information entered into it, the fill colour would change to none.
As well as this, they have a requirement to have all the fields reset to red when they reset the form (ideally combined with a button that I already have that triggers the built in reset form function).
From what I have gleaned on these forums and elsewhere, it looks like this is possible, but I haven't managed to work out exactly how.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes. If you know the RGB or CMYK values you can use color arrays instead of one of the predefined colors. For example:
event.target.fillColor = event.value ? color.white : ["RGB", 218/255, 25/255, 125/255];
event.target.fillColor = event.value ? color.white : ["CMYK", 0, 0.794, , 0.427, 0.145];

Place a "reset form" button using livecycle

I Placed a button on a form called "Clear Form" Now what do I do to reset the form when clicked? Can I also add a "Are you sure message" with another ok button?

Thanks for the script. I have a form with radio buttons that make certain fields appear visible/invisible mattering on wheather user chooses yes or no. I used actions to perform the visible/invisible function.
When using your script i get the Yes/no option in a popup and if I choose yes it correctly clears all my rado buttons and also resets any fields.
However the no fuction does not seem to be working. If I choose no it still clears out everything, the radio buttons and resets any fields made visible by said radio buttons. As you suggested I added xfa.form.remerge(); which made the visible fields reset.
Heres the code i used.
var
answer = xfa.host.messageBox("Are you sure you want to reset the form?","Confirmation Required !!!",2,2);
if
(answer ==4)
xfa.host.resetData();
xfa.form.remerge();

Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro - odd font won't go away

I began creating a new form and hadn't checked the default font. After making about 10 fields I used Preview to enter some text. Not liking the result, I had a look at the font being used. Something called, "KozMinPr6N-Regular," which is Japanese. Never heard of it - have never used it. Not sure how it became a default. I changed the font for those 10 fields, reset the default to Helvetica and created another 60 or so fields.
The form printed fine in Acrobat Pro, but when I opened it in Reader (11.0.06) and tried to print using the Print Dialog, I received the message that "The document could not be printed." I clicked OK (the only option) and a new box opened that said "There were no pages selected to print." This after I "Selected All" in the print dialog and saw the preview of the document as a thumbnail.
At one point I was instructed to go to the Adobe website to download a font since "the author hadn't included it." Well, I was the author and apparently it was referring to this Japanese font.
Back to Acrobat, and opening Document Properties > Fonts I see that Japanese font is included, as well as Helvetica. Yet I've checked ALL of the field properties and there's ONLY Helvetica in use. Short of starting all over from scratch, how can I fix this?
Also, I looked up Embedding Fonts in the Help dialog, but that's of NO help since it doesn't tell me how to do so - only the pros and cons.
I'm running OS X 10.9.2.
Thoughts? Thank you!

I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

Clear form after submitting, Adobe X Standard

I am trying to set up a form in Acrobat X standard that will clear the fields after it has been submitted. The form is on a local network and is being distributed using the Forms tool. Employees need to fill in the form then click the submit button on the top right side of Adobe reader, not a button field in the form. I am trying to keep employees from having one person answer the questions then letting others change the name and resubmit. Is there a script that can do this? I am new to Javascript so I have no idea how to do this or if it can be done.

I guess I'm not making myself clear about a major problem I have. I do not know anything about Java or JavaScript programming. I understand what document level means but I have No idea how to write a script. I can open the debug console but that is as far as it goes. With that said, I would like to figure this out but it will take a lot of hand holding. The way I see it, I need to know how to call the Adobe Reader "Submit" button, "not a form field" so that when it is clicked on "mouse up" it starts a timer. After the form has been submitted the "resetForm" command activates and all fields reset.
So how does all that get to be a JavaScript? I have no clue..........

Issue with index on table

Hi,
We have created an index(assume z2) on table CATSDB with 2 fields. There is an other index(Z1 assume) with the same fields and the order is also same. When a report accesing the table it is taking more time to run when index Z2 is on table. But when deleted then the report ran quickly. Is it with the duplicate index created???
Please let me know
Regards
Shiva

Hi
i am giving total index and buffering concept details by seeing this you can understand how we can achive performance through these
reward if usefull
Performance during table access
Indexes
Primary and secondary indexes
Structure of an index
Accessing tables using indexes
Table buffering
Advantages of buffering
Concept of buffering
Buffering types
Buffer synchronization
Primary and secondary indexes
Index: Technical key of a database table.
Primary index: The primary index contains the key fields of the table and a pointer to the non-key fields of the table. The primary index is created automatically when the table is created in the database.
Secondary index: Additional indexes could be created considering the most frequently accessed dimensions of the table.
Structure of an Index
An index can be used to speed up the selection of data records from a table.
An index can be considered to be a copy of a database table reduced to certain fields. The data is stored in sorted form in this copy. This sorting permits fast access to the records of the table (for example using a binary search). Not all of the fields of the table are contained in the index. The index also contains a pointer from the index entry to the corresponding table entry to permit all the field contents to be read.
When creating indexes, please note that:
An index can only be used up to the last specified field in the selection! The fields which are specified in the WHERE clause for a large number of selections should be in the first position.
Only those fields whose values significantly restrict the amount of data are meaningful in an index.
When you change a data record of a table, you must adjust the index sorting. Tables whose contents are frequently changed therefore should not have too many indexes.
Make sure that the indexes on a table are as disjunctive as possible.
(That is they should contain as few fields in common as possible. If two indexes on a table have a large number of common fields, this could make it more difficult for the optimizer to choose the most selective index.)
Accessing tables using Indexes
The database optimizer decides which index on the table should be used by the database to access data records.
You must distinguish between the primary index and secondary indexes of a table. The primary index contains the key fields of the table. The primary index is automatically created in the database when the table is activated. If a large table is frequently accessed such that it is not possible to apply primary index sorting, you should create secondary indexes for the table.
The indexes on a table have a three-character index ID. '0' is reserved for the primary index. Customers can create their own indexes on SAP tables; their IDs must begin with Y or Z.
If the index fields have key function, i.e. they already uniquely identify each record of the table, an index can be called a unique index. This ensures that there are no duplicate index fields in the database.
When you define a secondary index in the ABAP Dictionary, you can specify whether it should be created on the database when it is activated. Some indexes only result in a gain in performance for certain database systems. You can therefore specify a list of database systems when you define an index. The index is then only created on the specified database systems when activated
Database access using Buffer concept
Buffering allows you to access data quicker by letting you
access it from the application server instead of the database.
Advantages of buffering
Table buffering increases the performance when the records of the table are read.
As records of a buffered table are read directly from the local buffer of the application server on which the accessing transaction is running, time required to access data is greatly reduced. The access improves by a factor of 10 to 100 depending on the structure of the table and on the exact system configuration.
If the storage requirements in the buffer increase due to further data, the data that has not been accessed for the longest time is displaced. This displacement takes place asynchronously at certain times which are defined dynamically based on the buffer accesses. Data is only displaced if the free space in the buffer is less than a predefined value or the quality of the access is not satisfactory at this time.
Entering $TAB in the command field resets the table buffers on the corresponding application server. Only use this command if there are inconsistencies in the buffer. In large systems, it can take several hours to fill the buffers. The performance is considerably reduced during this time.
Concept of buffering
The R/3 System manages and synchronizes the buffers on the individual application servers. If an application program accesses data of a table, the database interfaces determines whether this data lies in the buffer of the application server. If this is the case, the data is read directly from the buffer. If the data is not in the buffer of the application server, it is read from the database and loaded into the buffer. The buffer can therefore satisfy the next access to this data.
The buffering type determines which records of the table are loaded into the buffer of the application server when a record of the table is accessed. There are three different buffering types.
With full buffering, all the table records are loaded into the buffer when one record of the table is accessed.
With generic buffering, all the records whose left-justified part of the key is the same are loaded into the buffer when a table record is accessed.
With single-record buffering, only the record that was accessed is loaded into the buffer.
Buffering types
With full buffering, the table is either completely or not at all in the buffer. When a record of the table is accessed, all the records of the table are loaded into the buffer.
When you decide whether a table should be fully buffered, you must take the table size, the number of read accesses and the number of write accesses into consideration. The smaller the table is, the more frequently it is read and the less frequently it is written, the better it is to fully buffer the table.
Full buffering is also advisable for tables having frequent accesses to records that do not exist. Since all the records of the table reside in the buffer, it is already clear in the buffer whether or not a record exists.
The data records are stored in the buffer sorted by table key. When you access the data with SELECT, only fields up to the last specified key field can be used for the access. The left-justified part of the key should therefore be as large as possible for such accesses. For example, if the first key field is not defined, the entire table is scanned in the buffer. Under these circumstances, a direct access to the database could be more efficient if there is a suitable secondary index there.
With generic buffering, all the records whose generic key fields agree with this record are loaded into the buffer when one record of the table is accessed. The generic key is a left-justified part of the primary key of the table that must be defined when the buffering type is selected. The generic key should be selected so that the generic areas are not too small, which would result in too many generic areas. If there are only a few records for each generic area, full buffering is usually preferable for the table. If you choose too large a generic key, too much data will be invalidated if there are changes to table entries, which would have a negative effect on the performance.
A table should be generically buffered if only certain generic areas of the table are usually needed for processing.
Client-dependent, fully buffered tables are automatically generically buffered. The client field is the generic key. It is assumed that not all of the clients are being processed at the same time on one application server. Language-dependent tables are a further example of generic buffering. The generic key includes all the key fields up to and including the language field.
The generic areas are managed in the buffer as independent objects. The generic areas are managed analogously to fully buffered tables. You should therefore also read the information about full buffering.
Single-record buffering is recommended particularly for large tables in which only a few records are accessed repeatedly with SELECT SINGLE. All the accesses to the table that do not use SELECT SINGLE bypass the buffer and directly access the database.
If you access a record that was not yet buffered using SELECT SINGLE, there is a database access to load the record. If the table does not contain a record with the specified key, this record is recorded in the buffer as non-existent. This prevents a further database access if you make another access with the same key
You only need one database access to load a table with full buffering, but you need several database accesses with single-record buffering. Full buffering is therefore generally preferable for small tables that are frequently accessed.
Synchronizing local buffers
The table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. However, this makes it necessary for the buffer administration to transfer all changes made to buffered objects to all the application servers of the system.
If a buffered table is modified, it is updated synchronously in the buffer of the application server from which the change was made. The buffers of the whole network, that is, the buffers of all the other application servers, are synchronized with an asynchronous procedure.
Entries are written in a central database table (DDLOG) after each table modification that could be buffered. Each application server reads these entries at fixed time intervals.
If entries are found that show a change to the data buffered by this server, this data is invalidated. If this data is accessed again, it is read directly from the database. In such an access, the table can then be loaded to the buffer again.

Changing the Column Header and Hiding the Column dynamically???

Hi friends..
I'm new to OBIEE field. I'm working in a OBIEE project that requires to dynamically change the column header, and dynamically hide the column depending on the prompt value.
I know we can dynamically change the table header using the presentation variable but I couldn't do that same thing with column header.
I searched some forums that suggest to use java script for this purpose but I'm not able to do the same also. If anyone had same issue before please help.

toony, I'm not sure it's possible to do all that you want exactly the way you want, but here are some ideas you can pursue.
To dynamically change column headers without javascript, check this blog out...
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dynamic-column-headers-using-presentation-variables-sets-and-conditional-formatting/
As far as dynamically hiding a column, I don't think you can do this, but since you don't provide any details on how the PV is supposed to hide a column based on the value, are you talking about hiding a column for one PV value and another (different) column for a different PV value? Or are you talking about hiding one column when a PV has certain values and displaying it when the PV has a different set of values?
I have managed to create both scenarios via a work-around, but the procedures require some writing so I don't want to put both. Please detail how you want your PV to "hide" a column or columns.
P.S. I don't think column selectors will do the trick for you. Basically column selectors work like this: Say you have a report using Sales Region ID, Region Name, and Sales. Now let's say you want the user to choose if he/she wants to see annual sales, or quarter sales or weekly sales, etc. The column selector view would allow you to put the various columns (Year Sales, Quarter Sales, Weekly Sales) as an option the user can select. Once selected, the sales figure will change for the time period selected. For an example of how this is done, check out the section in this "Oracle by Example" link.
Waited too long to publish this... Madan beat me to it, so there is some overlap here...

Problem related to Dashboard prompt

Hi friends. I'm new to OBIEE field and I'm stuck in one of my report. My dashboard has 2 reports and dashboard prompt fiscal year. Fiscal year in both the reports comes from different tables; thats why prompt doesn't sort both the reports simultaneously. I can't change the report format due to nature of the database table. Can you please suggest me some alternate way to filter both the reports on (Fiscal Year dashboard prompt).

I think a presentation variable in your DB-prompt will help. Store the chosen year as for example 'year' and let both the dashboard reports use this presentation variable in their filters for "fiscal year"
