OBIEE Write Back - Insert New Row

Hello,
I am new to these forums and looking for some help with OBIEE's Write Back feature.
I have Write Back working fine with respect to updating existing rows in a table (ie: the UPDATE tag), but was wondering how to force Write back to invoke the INSERT feature. I would like to be able to create new rows in a table to allow my end user to dynamically add and remove information. I have heard of this being possible (perhaps through some sort of temp. table) in other forum posts, but have yet to see how this is implemented. Also, is it at all possible to use Write Back to delete rows in a table? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Mike
Here is an exerpt from my working XML file:
<WebMessage name="NEWSNOTESADMIN">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool">
<insert>INSERT INTO WC_NEWS_NOTES (CONTENTS, CONTENT_DATE, IMPORTANCE_LVL) VALUES(@{c0},@c{4},@{c2})</insert>
<update>UPDATE WC_NEWS_NOTES SET CONTENTS='@{c0}', CONTENT_DATE='@{c4}', IMPORTANCE_LVL=@{c2} WHERE CONTENT_ID='@{c1}' </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>

Well first and foremost, Oracle explicitly states that writeback isn't meant to be used to transform OBIEE into a data entry system. Check the other posts on this subject...
On the "force insert": put the same statement you have for INSERT into the UPDATE tag. Related to the initial point I mentioned: you will have to worry about uniqueness yourself. OBIEE isn't an OLTP platform!
Re. delete: I liked Stijns recent post, so I'm going to use that as well:

OBI11g: Write Back INSERT is not working

Hi All,
Can anyone help me in providing the solution for Insert in writeBack For OBIEE11g.
We are able to do a successful writeback for UPDATE.
we have the INSERT command in the XML, from the report when we are trying to call the INSERT statement, but we are not able to
How to activate INSERT statement in the XML Template?
Please let us know the process of doing an INSERT using Writeback
Thanks a lot in advance......!

I think I faced similar issue and just found solution:
There are 2 statements defined in xml file: <insert> and <update>. Insert is executed only when edited table row have initially null in all columns. So you need a dummy row in destination database table with e.g. ID=0 and all column values = null.
Dummy row is displayed in Analytics as a regular row but of course with empty column values. When you enter values into this row and apply changes, OBIEE will know to execute insert statement. In my case I generated ID for a new row from sequence: <insert>insert into Table1 (col_val1,col_val2,col3_id) values('@{cfe7691ea163b9e61}', '@{c8a3421607b213f07}', db_sequence.nextval)</insert>
This way your dummy row with ID=0 will be never updated by OBIEE and will let you insert new rows to db table.
You can refer to "19.8.3.1 How Write Back Works" in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/answersconfigset.htm#BIESG1354

ODI - SCD Type 2 - Insert new row error

Hi All,
For Dimension I have a surrogate key, a natural key, and a column with "overwrite on change", start_date, end_date, current_record_ind. When I run the interface with the default SCD Type 2 for SQl server, this runs fine. But when I change that one column from "overwrite on change" to "insert new row", it fails on the update step. What should I be looking for anf fixing.
Thanks for your time and help.

DB: SQL Server 2008.
IKM = IKM MSSQL Slowly Changing Dimension
Error Message: ODI-1228 - Incorrect syntax near the keyword from.
Code: update T
set
from database.dbo.Dim_type as T,
database.dbo.I$_Dim_type as S
where T.Cd = S.Cd
and T.Current_rec_ind = 1
and IND_UPDATE = 'U'
To overcome the issue, I have commented the update code in the Knowledge module and the insert works, but for this one it is ok, but I have requirements where one column needs to be overwritten and other column changes will require to add a new record. How to handle both?
Thanks for your time.

Min and Max and insert new rows

Hello,
I am really a beginner in Excel (2007). I am not sure if this is the correct forum, anyway.
I have grouped some rows in a sheet (rows 1, 2 and 3, columns A and B, table below), some of the columns have numeric values in that group and I have a row (inside that group) that shows the maximum and minimum values (row 1):
          A     B
+  1 43   12 <- MAX and MIN values for row 2 and 3 columns A and B
+  2   34   12
+  3   43   34
I am using MAX and MIN functions: A1 = MAX($A2:$A$3), B1 = MIN($B$2:$B$3)
The problem comes when I want to insert more rows after row 3, the formula keeps wrapping to A$2:$A$3 therefore I need to readjust the formula to: MAX($A2:$A$4) manually (for MIN is the same).
          A     B
+  1 43   12 <- Are the same, they should be
"98 and  10"
+  2   34   12
+  3   43   34
+  4   98   10 <- New row, but the maximum and minimum continues to be the same, I want to extend the formula automatically to the 4 row when I insert the new row.
Question:
How can I extend the function of the MAX and MIN formula automatically when I insert new rows?
Please consider that I may insert rows at the beginning, in the middle or the end.
Thanks,
Enrique.
Kikeman Electric Systems Engineer

Hi Enrique,
Thanks for posting in MSDN.
Based on the description, you want to modify the formula for the A1 and B1 cell when you insert a new rows.
Yes, we can use Worksheet.Change to dermin the change of data on the worksheet then we can modify the formula as we wanted. Here is a sample for your reference:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.Range("A1").Formula = "=MAX($A2:$A" & Me.UsedRange.Rows.Count & ")"
Me.Range("B1").Formula = "=MIN($B2:$B" & Me.UsedRange.Rows.Count & ")"
End Sub

Hello,
The base idea here is if the record is added successfully you would then get the new primary key then manually add the record to the underlying data source. Does not matter if we are talking a single table or a master-detail setup.
The following shows the basics
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Adding-new-records-into-bff5eaaf
All of the above is done without using a DataSet yet the same thing needs to happen with a DataSet, simply focus on the one table.

Inserting new row in Table in 11.1.2 from 11.1.1.3 not rendering table!!!!!

Hey Guys, my status might say noob but i am well seasoned in ADF. We migrated from 11.1.1.3 to the new JDEV 11.1.2. We are doing a test run before we commit to it.
I noticed the following:
We have master detail forms that work flawlessly in 11.1.1.3 when we ran the app under 11.1.2 we noticed that any time you try to add a new row to a table the table does not render. The server logs show the action going through and the count goes up one but the table is not rendered anymore it disappears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now all of this was imported from the 11.1.1.3. all of our tables that have createInsert actions on them are doing this.
If i drag the tables again and set them up from scratch it seems to work fine. Our issue is we have a good 300 of these tables in different panels and panel collections. we have to do all of that work all over again.
No errors show in the log. IS THIS A BUG???????????????
UPDATE: REFRESHING THE PAGE using the Browser Refresh Button Will show the new ROW....... THIS IS NOT GOOOD!!!

Thanks for the reply.
The Project was in version 11.1.3 before I migrated. I had the issue above so I migrated to 11.1.1.4 then to 11.1.1.5 then to the New GREAT 11.1.2 to go by the matrix of support The issue is still there.
Basic Page layout:
SEARCH-MASTER-PANELTABBED LAYOUT (Hold all the CHILDREN RECORDS)
PANEL TAB is made of ; SHOW DETAIL ITEM- PANEL COLLECTION- TABLE.
the panel collection has a toolbar with 2 buttons in it.
My issue varies:
Hit create insert==> record count goes up one but the table does not render (it goes all blank even if records existed in it)
Hit undo budo ==>table still not rendering. (click next on master record then click previous to come back, the table renders correctly.)
other tables do the following:
Hit Create insert == > table shows normally and I can enter new record.
Hit undo ==> table count goes down but table does not render at all anymore.
for this issue i noticed if i set cache results to false the table works after hitting undo
IF I CREATE A NEW SHOW DETAIL ITEM and put exactly what the other tabs have in them and use the same layouts and buttons the new table works great!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????? WTF?!?!?!?!
NO ERROR MESSAGES even at finest level are thrown.
I HAD NO ISSUES IN THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF JDEV IS THIS A JSF 2.0 BUG????
BY THE WAY JDEV 11.1.2 sometimes CRASHES or Hangs when viewing the Binding of Page when you click on Binding straight from the Design view. I have to open the Binding Page separate to view it. FYI

Insert new row into oracle databse through application module usng ADF Form

I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2. I am a beginner. I had tried in-built createInsert and commit method to add new row into oracle DB. For that, I had created ViewObject, VOImpl and AMImpl. Then, I created to jsf page. On first page, I dragged and dropped createInsert fn and VO(as ADF-readonly table) from DC Palette. and on second page, I dragged and dropped my VO(as ADF-Form) and commit (as Button) from DC palette. I created task-flow for it. when i click on createInsert button, i redirected to second page. where i filled all the required information on form. After filling, when i clicked commit button, i redirected to first page.(coz i created task flow to return first page after commit). New row is inserted into ADF-table, but when i checked my oracle DB, there was nothing added.
Thus, I want to use custom method to insert row into OracleDB. So how can i get this? what are the steps required to do this? what programming codes required in Bean.java and AMImpl.java. Or is there any other steps to do this?
please provide me detail steps and programming code for bean, amimpl or for VOImpl or EOImpl.
please help me.

User,
To insert a row into the db you have to use a VO which is based on an EO (entity object). There is no java class (or impl) needed. You can all do this decoratively.
All you have to think of is the PK of the new row. You can use Groovy for that (http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/using-groovy-expression-to-set-a-primary-key-with-a-sequence-number/)
The rest is like you described it yourself. Drag the Vo onto the page, drop it as read only table, drag the createInsert onto the page as button and set up the navigation. On the second page drag the same VO onto the page and drop it as ADF Form. drag the commit operation onto the page as button and setup the navigation back to the first page.

Insert new row in Data Table

Hi All,
Based on "Insert, Update and Delete" tutorial it's easy to perform insert by addidng new row in forms.
Then I tried to do the myRowSet.moveToInsertRow() having a the RowSet bound to a Data Table and no new record appears :( !
Any workaround ?

My guess is that you are not refreshing the datatable - you must call execute on the datatable model object again.
Unless you are expecting a new "inserted" empty row to be created on the datatable itself when you call moveToInsertRow - the JSF standard datatable doesn't support that operation. See the AppModel sample application to see another option to handle that scenario.

Insert new rows based on user selection on a table display on the screen

Hi..
In my requirement i need to display the line items of a PO# to the user on the screen for specific fields. Each row should also include an additonal checkbox when displayed for the user. When the user checks this check box or clicks on it a new row should be inserted below to that row with the existing data of that row being copied to newly inserted row and allowing the user to make any changes.
The newly inserted row should also include a check box , so that when the user checks it again a new row should get inserted. Finally what ever data user enters on the screen, i should be able to update my internal table with those new values and records.
Appreciate if anyone can guide me on how to proceed on this or any alternative approaches.
Will reward helpful answers.
Thanks.

Hi ..
Can you please be more detailed. First I need to know how to create the initial table display for the existing line items and then the techniques for inserting the new rows based on the check marks and finally add those news rows to my existing internal table..
Appreciate ur help.
Thanks.

How to insert new row in JTable?

In my application,I have a jTable. And the form dose not have a Nevigation bar.
After I retrieve a record into the jTable, I want to add a new row after the retrieved record. But I could not create a new row by pressing the down key at the last row of the jTable(I could do that in Oracle Form). Dose jTabel have such feature as that in Oracle Form? Or I can do that in another way?

Such a feature is not available, but you could add a key event handler which works its magic when it detects a press on the down arrow key, while the last row is selected. Then you can perform the code to insert a new row.
