ORDS v3 and APEX tabular form issue

Hi,
We encountered strange issue after installing ORDS v3 EA to test, thought I would report this. I'm not sure if its a bug but it seems to be reproducible in our instance.
Steps:
1) Install ORDS v3 with Glassfish deployment.
2) Go to APEX builder -> Page with report (classic or interactive) -> Edit Attributes -> Change data in column attempt to save throws out "ORA-01403: no data found"
or
3) Create APEX app -> Build page with DML form and Tabular form -> Edit tabular form attempt to save throws out same error.
Application error logs shows:
ORA-20987: APEX - Unable to change column attributes. - ORA-01403: no data found
WWV_FLOW_SECURITY
FINAL_EXCEPTION_HANDLER
Also, I was unable to get RESTFul services working with APEX no matter how I configured ORDS v3. I don't encounter these issues when reverting back to version 1.x , 2.x
APEX Version: 4.2.6.00.03
Oracle DB: 11.2.0.3.0
Glassfish : open source edition 4.1
Regards,
-Senthil

I too am getting ORA-01403 both when trying to save in the builder and when just hitting submit on the tabular form when using standalone EA3. Happens when pointing at 4.1 or 4.2.6. The v2 listeners works fine when pointing to the same applications/pages.
I asked oracle support whether it is a known EA3 issue but was told to add my observations to the forum.

Second LOV based on First LOV in Oracle APEX tabular Form

Hi,
I had created a tabular form in which I am having two LOV's. This form is based on a query.
I had created a javascript function which internally calls AJAX and populates the second LOV based on the value selected in first LOV when onchange.
But the issue is, when the user recalls this APEX page to view the details or edit the details, the second LOV shows all the values instead of showing only the values related to first LOV.
In the second LOV query I am trying to write the below query.
select function_name fn
,function_code_id fci
from catering_function_codes
where function_type_id = NVL(#FUNCTION_TYPE_ID#,function_type_id)
order by to_number(function_code_id)
in which #FUNCTION_TYPE_ID# is the value of first LOV. But I am getting the below error.
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06550: line 1, column 187:
PL/SQL: ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
How can you refer to the Second LOV the value of First LOV in a report based tabular form?
Kindly let me know if you do not understand the issue.
Please help me in this issue.
Thank you
Regards
Dev

Hi Roel,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I used the query as given by you. This time it is not giving any error but showing all the values in the second LOV irrespective of what ever value is present in the first LOV
This is an apex tabular form which is generated by apex based on a query. The controls will be dynamically generated by APEX for each row. How can we hard code the control name to :P99_FUNCTION_TYPE_ID?
Please help me in this issue. Thank you
Regards

Apex 4.01 Tabular Form Issue javascript

We have moved an apex 3.2 application to apex 4.0 and we have some problems with the new ordering of the G_Fxx-Colums as described in another thread.
There is another thing we do not understand:
The SQL-Statment is like
select a,
b,
apex_item.text(40,c) c
from table.
In java-script we access the data with
<script type="text/javascript">
function readOnly()
var mon_01 = document.getElementsByName("f01");
var mon_02 = document.getElementsByName("f40");
In Apex 3.2 both arrays started with 1.
In Apex 4.0 there seams to be a shift. The Data in mon_01 (j) correspondes to mon_02(j-1).
Any hint what happened ?
Thanks
Tilman

Habib,
There were issues in past releases of Oracle Application Express that caused the internal query column IDs to get out of sequence. That issues has been resolved in APEX 4.0.1. However if you import or upgrade older applications that had this issue in APEX 3.2 or before, then there's no guarantee that the fxx array assignments in 4.0 will be the same as in 3.2. So what you will need to do it to open your tabular form source query, and then hit apply changes, this will put the query column ID sequence in the correct order, and then run your tabular form, and take a note of the new fxx arrays assignments. And based on that information, adjust your JavaScript and / or PL/SQL code to reference the correct arrays. In APEX 4, there is now also a way to reference those arrays by the name of the underlying column using the apex_application.f_fmap array, this way, you won't have to reply on how the engine allocates those arrays anymore. Keep in mind, this allocation has always been done at runtime, so e.g. if you had conditional columns, then a column that's in some cases rendered as f05, might be rendered as f07 in other cases.

Apex, Tabular forms and Nested Tables := Headache

Hi All,
I'm constructing an Apex aplication for Performance Reviewing staff and I have need of nested tables within each line item for ongoing comments during the year, the headings of which are drawn from another table, based on a template for which ones are to be used at any given time.
I'd like to be able to use a tabular form to draw out the history of comments at any given time and modify them however I'm at a complete loss as to how to get this working with a tabular form in Apex. If anyone could point me at some good documentation on the subject or even suggest a better method to get this done I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at this article:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ObjectViewsAndNestedTables.php
First, create a view as described on your nested and other table(s), with 'Instead Of' triggers handling the DML. Next create the tabular form based on the view. You'll find many posts in the forum regarding building a tablular form based on a view.

I usualy don't use the apex wizards to create forms when you need such custom functionality.
I just make the needed items, and when saving the form elements to the db i run my own written procedure en i submit the page with the request 'UPDATE' and i also set an id item with the newly created id for the inserted record.
So the page knows it should call the procedure that fills up all items with the values of the record i just saved. this also comes in handy when inserting a form in multiple tables.

Manual Tabular Form Issues (again)

Okay, let me start by saying that I've searched the forums, and read the read at Re: Issues with tabular forms with optimistic locking to little avail. I started out with the tabular form tutorial and modified it for my table.
I have a couple of problems though. First, is with the inclusion of the blank record in my initial output. With the blank record, I either have it (the blank record) at the top if I have it sorted, or if I leave it unsorted, then the blank record appears at the bottom (where you'd expect it, but it's harder to read). How can I get the records sorted so the blank record is at the end? I've tried an order by and also tried selecting the SORT BY box in the report attributes without success.
My next major problem was discussed pretty much in the above referenced thread. I finally had to change my select statement so that for the checksum I was doing a "htmldb_item.hidden(15,wwv_flow_item.md5(code,import,rb_est_sz,pc_est_sz)) cks. If I didn't wrap the checksum inside of the htmldb_item.hidden(), then I was always getting the 'No Data Found" error message when I submitted the page. After reading the above thread, I started viewing the source, and the checksum field wasn't appearing, so my 'Process" wasn't able to find it. So, to make the field 'visible' to my apply changes process, I wound up having to wrap it inside another field type. If I wrap it in a htmldb_item.text(), then the field data appears unless I uncheck the show column, and then my process doesn't work, since suddenly the checksum field goes from _F15 to _F02. I already have a field with the _F02 assignment, so how can I change it back to the _F15 that I want?
So, I can have the checksum only if I make the column visible, if I make invisible, then it changes the htmldb_application.g_Fxx assignment to that already assigned to another field. I'm just getting confused with this.
Thanks, and I'll try to create a workspace on apex.com so others can see what I'm doing (or not doing). It might not be until Wednesday or Thursday, as I have other conflicting work requirements cropping up now.
Bill Ferguson

Okay, I have enough data, etc. finally updated to show what I'm bumping my head up against.
There's got to be an easy fix, but for the life of me I can't find it.
The address is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=45926:2:11005498541589576266::NO:::
Workspace is wbfergus, id and pw are htmldb
Start by clicking "Search", then select one of the records in the "Records Found" box, which takes you to the "Deposits" form, then use the menu to select "Data", "General", "Commodities" to get to the form I'm having problems with. On the Commodities screen, the last two columns shouldn't show up, but without them, I can't make any changes. There's got to be a way to hide them and still have the checksum capability. To make things easier, I commented out the part of the code that added a blank record, which solved a problem from my first post.
Most of the forms/tables are blank, so they aren't fully functional. I just did what was needed to get to the part where I'm having problems.
Thanks anybody,
Bill Ferguson

APEX tabular form update recognition

Dear all,
I am quite new to APEX so please apologize if I am asking "stupid" questions. Unfortunately, the information I was able to find up to now was only partially helpful. Apparently I must be missing something obvious. The APEX version I use is 4.0.1.
When submitting a page that contains a tabular form, I need to find out, which record has been created or updated in order to fill in additional information automatically, e.g. logging data (created, last updated, ...). I cannot do this in a trigger, because the trigger sees only APEX_PUBLIC_USER and does not know about the "real" user who has connected to the database. If there is a better or easier way to do this, please let me know.
My problem is to find out, if a new record has been added by clicking the "add row" button and / or if an existing record has been modified, because creation and modification have to be handled differently. Existing and unmodified records in the table must not be touched. I can access the columns by using APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fxx() but how do I recognize modifications? In a thread in this forum I found information about using a MD5 checksum. So I have added a checksum field using APEX_ITEM.MD5_HIDDEN() and tried to check this information. Unfortunately, doing this, I already get a problem when I submit the page after having added an empty record by clicking on "add row" but without having supplied any information. APEX then complains about information that has been modified in the meantime instead of just ignoring the empty record. This is probably because APEX considers the record as changed because of the checksum column I have added (I have read that the SQL query to create the tabular form must not be altered).
Could anybody please show me the right way to do such a check?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Ralf Gorholt

Hi Ralph,
Well, if you are wanting to check if anything has been updated before the update button is pressed, using JS, you can use the property of the field 'defaultValue' and compare it to the property 'value'
i.e. for the text input type
function isElementChanged( myElement ) {
var iselementChanged = false;
var returnVal = false;
switch ( myElement.type ) {
case "text" :
    if ( myElement.value != myElement.defaultValue )
      return true;
    break;
default
     return false;
} You could cycle through all elements, by:
allEls = form.elements;
for (i=0; i < allEls.length; i++){
if ( allEls.type != undefined && allEls[i].type.length > 0 && allEls[i].disabled == false ) {
if (isElementChanged(allElls[i])) {
//TODO: logic here

APEX - tabular form update

Hey guys,
as per client's request, we need to insert rows into db from tabular form even there is no change on the new row. db table is configured to have nullable fields.
Currently, it won't allow me to do so. Is there any way to force the insert/update without checking if the information on the row is updated?
Thanks a lot

You can do it, using manular tabular form.
When you use automated Tabular Forms, it checks inbuilt global variables, to see row is updated or any new row is created and all necessary fields are keyed in.
If you don't update an existing row, that row will not be updated..
If you create/add new empty row and don't key in values, that row will not be inserted as there is no data..
If you want to do in that manner, make your MRU process on the page to never and write your own manual MRU

Calcluated fields dissapearing when saving? (And other order form issues)

I am trying to make an order form for my company. I have three columns, quantity, rate, and total. The form itself was imported from an Excel document, and the "Rate" column was already filled in. I made "Qty" a fillable field, "rate" a hidden and read only field, and "Total" a calculated field that is the product of "Qty" and "Rate".
In Acrobat Pro, when I click "Preview", everything seems to work fine. Once I save it, close the file, and try to open it in Apple Preview or Adobe Reader on Windows, it doesn't work. When I reopen the file in Acrobat Pro, the calculated fields are set back to "value is not calculated".
I have spent a LOT of time on this form, and now it seems that all of my work has just dissapeared. Not to mention when Acrobat decided to just up and quit on me, corrupt my file, and delete it. Luckily I work in Versions, and save a different file everytime I save. But then I had to go back and edit all the fields to make them calcluate, only to lose them when i save.
I have two questions here. First, is this the correct way to be doing an order form, or is there an easier, more reliable workflow? Second, why doesn't Acrobat Pro save my field properties?
I'm on Acrobat Pro XI on OSX 10.8.5
Attached are two images, the first is how I set the field to begin with, and the second is what happens after I save and reopen the document.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Apple Preview is a known "assassin" of PDF forms, and tends to corrupt them in many ways. Avoid using it as much as possible! Even just opening a PDF file in it can cause it to be irreparably corrupt.
Having said that, I did notice a bug in Acrobat XI that causes scripts to "disappear" when you open the Calculate or Validate tab. This happened to me mostly when a custom code was used, and I don't know of a way to prevent it or predict when it happens... It's rare, though.

Validate field in tabular forms apex 4.2

Hi.
i need help doing next validations :
1.- i have a product_item field (wich is a lov and user choose one value), so i need to call a function (sending it the selected value product_item) that will return me some data about the product i selected, for example :
if the function return 'A' then
disable the next item on tabular form, lets say quantity
else
enable the next item on tabular form, lets say quantity
end if
2.- i need to determine the result of two items operations:
total := final_quantity - start_quantity
the user will introduce start and final quantity and i will determine the total.
any ideas ?
i am new on apex and need to do this on tabular forms.
thanks in advance.

Is this a standard APEX tabular form validation, or a custom PL/SQL based validation? It might be easiest to diagnose what's going on there, if you could replicate this issue on apex.oracle.com, and point us to an example.

pt_user1
I understand that the add row button is currently doing a submit.
To not submit the page you need a dynamic action on the page.
Does the javascript function addRow do what you want?
Otherwise have a look at the following two threads Add row in manual tabular form using dynamic action and Accessing Tabular Form & Add Elements to Collection without Page Submit.
You're process could be something like:
Add the new values to the collection using the idea's in the second thread and at the same time add the new row.
And as second action refresh your tabular form.
If you get stuck set up what you have done on apex.oracle.com using the tables from the demo application.

Can we have Manual Form and Tabular form in the same page..

Hi,
Is it possible to create a form manually with Save/Apply Change button and another Tabular form using wizard on the same page such that -
if we click the save button on the manulaly created form , it should save the data present in manual form as well as Tabular form...
Edited by: Apex_Noob on Mar 21, 2009 5:58 AM

Hi Dan,
My table structure is :
Process
process_id ( number primary key )
process_owner ( number which represent the user who is responsible for the process)
category_id ( number )
focus_area ( number )
frequency ( number )
process_description ( varchar2 )
Process Region
process_id ( number )
region_id ( number )
Process_website
id (number primary key)
process_id ( number)
web_address ( varcahr2 )
Above is the struct of part of my DB.
At present my manual form does the following :-
When users click on SAVE button , it run PAGE PROCESS , ADD_PROCESS
In ADD_PROCESS ,
I have following logic to insert into process table
Select seq.next_val into temp_variable from dual; - This is the process_id
insert into process values ( temp_variable , :p2_process_owner , :p2_cateogory , .... )
to insert into region i used the following logic ( Region is displyed as check box :p2_region north=1 , south=2 ,east = 3 and west = 4)
l_vc_arr2 := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P2_REGION);
    FOR z IN 1..l_vc_arr2.count LOOP
       INSERT INTO "REGION" VALUES
       ( temp_variable ,
         l_vc_arr2(z));
    END LOOP;
END;Now as I told, I want to have three text field where user will enter web_address and it should be added to process_website table
Thanks a ton for all your help

Trying to Create Tabular Form with apex_item... and apex_item.select_list

I am trying to create a tabular form that uses multiple altec_item functions (select_list, select_list_from_LOV,...). Whenever I attempt to create a new page and select Tabular Form, I am forced to select a table and columns. So I have just selected any table and once the sql is created, I overwrite it with my own sql. When I try to apply the changes, I get an error anytime I use apex_item... for a particular column. I have tried the same creating a standard report with the same results. I have read at least 20 examples but none say where to start from when creating the tabular form and just jump right in to the code. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Jerryu

You can start with creating a simple classic report. You can use apex_item functions in your query and later set your column attributes to "Standard Report Column". Basically, you are creating a updateable report.
