Page Items displayed in Oracle AS Portal

I am building a page in the Oracle Application Server Portal
that has three regions. Each region contains a Discoverer Worksheet. The layout
is such that the upper region has a worksheet graph (a) spanning 100% of the
region. Beneath this region are two regions containing one worksheet table in each
region. The worksheets have a master (b)/detail (c) relationship. The "master" (b)
worksheet is the table for the graph (a) in the upper region. It is the same
Discoverer worksheet being displayed as a graph in one region (a) and as a
table (b) in another region.
The issue that I have encountered lies in the Page Items
being part of the title of the regions. For the tables, the Page Item and values
appear just below the title of the worksheet. This is not the case for the
graph. The page items do not appear by default. To get the Page Items to appear
as part of the graph, I used the &PageItems option in Discover Plus for the
worksheet, but this causes the values to be repeated for the regions containing
tables (b) and (c).
Is there any way to turn off the Page Item as being part of
the titles in the regions containing tables? Or any way to get all three
regions to show the Page Items without them being repeated in the regions
containing tables?

Any ideas on this? I have tried the custom template and changed the border="1", but that does not look very good. I want it to look more like excel, where there are titles (column headings) and within each column, each cell has a border completely around it with page items in them. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Page item display 32767 characters (via computation)

Hello everyone,
Running APEX 3.2.1.00.11
I am trying to generate values for a page item using a PL/SQL function body. It parses and concatenates many rows of our databases. In one case I need to return some generated javascript code to pre-load a auto-suggest class. In the other case, I need to concatenate a variable number of comment postings for a given article "to create a threaded blog view" (the number of comments could get quite large).
My problem is that APEX is maxing out at 32767 characters. When I defined my function with a VARCHAR2(32767) I got a buffer too small error. When I tried to run it using a CLOB I got a "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string". I'm assuming this happens when it tries to exit the PL/SQL function and return control back to APEX (some type of CLOB -> VARCHAR2 conversion - but once again i'm just guessing).
I tried to verify the code works fine by running it in sql developer. When using DBMS.OUTPUT.PUT_LINE I got the same ORA-06502 error. When I replaced the return string with a "function completed" message instead, it ran fine and printed out the success message.
To validate it wasn't the contents of the string, I changed the function to put a DBMS.OUTPUT.PUT_LINE on each iteration through the result sets that builds the large concatenated string. Every line printed without issue and no errors were generated...
So, my question is...how can I generate text > 32k in size and display it to the user through APEX?
Please don't respond and say that I shouldn't be loading that much into a webpage initially and that I should be using AJAX to search through values and load them on the fly. That could work for the select list (if I can get past APEX's very particular URL parsing system) but it is not suitable for the "blog comments" functionality.
Thanksss!!

I honestly don't know enough about how APEX generates it's page items and the overall page to be able to answer your question. All that I can tell you is that its a simple "display only" page item that has a before header "Computation" on it powered by a PL/SQL function body.Sorry, I missed the "page item" and focused on the "PL/SQL". In that case you've hit a hard limit in APEX. Page items, report rows and various other things have a maximum output size of 32K.
I could do multiple page items each limited to 8k as you suggested and strategically concatenate them behind the scenes too - however this is extremely ugly. I need to consider how other people will be able to work with this code in the future.Absolutely—I really wasn't suggesting separate items as I was talking about buffering output from <tt>htp</tt> methods.
For handling large items, see the Save Large Value demo app. As you can see, this is not "out of the box".
For display-only purposes, APEX reports or dynamic PL/SQL regions are a better fit for the use cases you describe than page items.

Page Items displayed in table borders

Hello,
This might be a 'newbie' question, but I need to design a form layout in a 'Grid', so I need to know how to enable borders around each page item (cell). I wish there was a way to create a layout in Dreamweaver and then have Html DB insert each page item into the cell I choose.
Any help?

Jeff

List item display in Oracle forms 10g

hi,
I have created the list item with pop-list in forms.When i retrieve the data using record group in the list item ,i need to display two column data in single list item i.e emp id , emp name .
select emp_id,emp_name from emp where mgr_id = 100;
i tried this query in record group but its coming emp id only, not name .
Can u tell the solution as soon as possible

Hi,
In List Item, the First column will show in the list, and the Second column will be stored. To show both columns in list, u have to concatenate both fields and make it as first column. And i think you have to save the EMP_CODE, not EMP_NAME in database.
So the record group will be
SELECT EMP_ID || ' - ' || EMP_NAME EMP_NAME, EMP_ID FROM EMP WHERE MGR_ID = 100; Or you can use LOV to display multiple columns.
Regards,
Manu.
If this answer is helpful or correct, please mark it. Thanks.

Javascript help - Hide/Show a page item

Environment:
APEX 3.1.00.09 running on AIX 5.3
Sample application on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: GALWAY
UserID: gwicke
Password: gwicke
To see where my issues are:
1- Start on page 3
2- In the Agency drop down select 'J & B Marketing'
3- In the Contract drop down select the only contract that appears
4- Click on 'Edit Existing Contract'
5- Note the page item 'LY Closings' has the value 261
6- Click on the link (really a tab in my theme) at the top labeled 'Cost Detail'
7- The 'Estimate Justification' is the page item to be displayed/hidden as noted below.
8- The 'Homes Per Year' under the 'YEAR1' column is the user input page item
9- The P2_BUILDER_CLOSINGS (value 261 noted above) is the page item to be used in the comparison
I need to do a couple of things with a potentially hidden page item:
1- Every time the page loads I need to check to see if the page item (P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION) is not null and if it is indeed not null, make it displayed.
2- When the user enters a value in another page item (P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1), call a function to see if that value is more than 120% of another page item (P2_BUILDER_CLOSINGS) and if so make the above page item displayed (P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION).
I have the javascript function created (showHideEstimateJustification) and in the HTML Header of the page. The function is being called currently with an onChange check on the page item entered by the user as noted above (P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1).
Issues:
1- I need to force a SUBMIT after the user enters the value for P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1 so it is available in session state and hence to the javascript function (other ideas welcome!)
2- I am currently using the x.style.display = 'inline' versus 'none' to hide/show the page item, where x is derived from var x = document.getElementById(P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION) Is there a better way????
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-gary (a.k.a. Javascript newbie)

Hi,
Only your messages use the session state. The code would use the entered value, but you would need to change:
var homes = parseInt(document.getElementById('P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1'));to
var homes = parseInt(document.getElementById('P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1').value);so that "homes" becomes the numeric version of the value of the item
Normally, for the label, you would just enter an ID="xxx" into the HTML Table Cell Attributes for the label which you can then use in your javascript. For some reason this doesn't seem to want to work in this page.
What you could do is find all the labels and then check which is the right one before showing/hiding it. Something along the lines of:
var xx = document.getElementsByTagName("LABEL");
var zz;
var label;
for (zz = 0; zz < xx.length; zz++)
if (xx[zz].htmlFor == 'P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICTION")
label = xx[zz];
xx[zz].style.display = 'none';
{code}

Page items do not go into Excel when exporting

We are using 10.1.2 viewer and plus (and I have the desktop version available). I have tried exporting a worksheet with page items using all 3 of the above and the page items will not go into excel. Is there any trick to get this to work? I thought that it used to work in older versions?
thanks
Angie

Did you try the Export to Excel as Pivot Table option? That would create a base sheet with all the page items flattened out, a static sheet that looks like the worksheet at the time of the export, and an Excel Pivot Table where you can page through the page items.
thanks

Item Display Options in Portal

Hi all
I have Oracle Portal 10.1.4.
In home Page I have Region
type is Items. its contents as files (like : WordFiles ).
when I want to Sort this Region it has only ( title & size ).
Edit Item Region
Item Display Options
How sort items by ( Create Date )?

Hi 554264: While the sort box does not have date as an option, you can group by date and then within each date group, sort by title or size. If you leave the group by titles off, I think this will give you the desired affect transparently.
Give it a try!

Problem in displaying selected page items in the title in Graph

Hi There;
I have a problem in displaying selected value of named page item in the graphs.
Eg. I have in my worksheet a page item named "Location"; when I use "&WorksheetName &Location" in the title of worksheet it is displaying both the worksheet title and value of selected page item "Location" in my example.
But when I use the same (&WorksheetName &Location) in the title of graph or Axis of the graph, it would show up only the name of the worksheet but not the value of page item "Location", instead it would print "&Location"
Any idea why it is not able to reference the select page item in Discoverer graph? I am using Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.1.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Nidhi Jethoo

Hi Michael;
Thanks a lot. It might not have been considered necessary but you do require, e.g in my case I am plotting Average value of a Parameter and it does make sense in including the name/value of Parameter(surface water temp/bottom watter temp) as an Axis instead of just a constant Parameter or say Average Parameter. So that user can plot the variation of different parameters by changing the page items and when user changes the value of parameter and export the graph he/she has the parameter name(actual value) in the graph.
But I can include all the parameters (&Parameters) or all the page items(using &PageItems) in graph then why not individual page-item and individual parameter.
I would log a SR and see what they say.
Thanks again,
Nidhi

Need to display dynamic content on portal page

I have an htmldb application that a client can upload doctor profiles for the web users to lookup and find a doctor within a certain radius. When they click on the doctor's name, it shows a profile of the doctor. I need to be able to display this information directly on the oracle portal instead of iframing it because i need it to be searchable. I created an xml report in htmldb and linked it to the oracle portal with an omniportlet. The test page can be seen at [http://portal2.bynum.com/portal/page/portal/test/xml%20data%20test]
I need the link on the go to a page in portal and display the information from the database like it does on htmldb. Is it possible to:
1. Add a drop down box in the omniportlet that allows me to chose all doctors whose last name begins with the letter in the dropdown box.
2. Point the link to oracle portal, pass the object_id to the page, and display the doctor profile all in the portal instead of iframing from htmldb.

Ok, i found the solution. I created a page with the parameters that i want passed in order to display the datbase content. the parameters where created in the page properties section for the page. I created id, first_name, and last_name parameters. Then i created a dynamic pl/sql web page with the dynamic html portlet included with oracle and tied those parameters to the queries. Dynamic content is now displayed when the omniportlet links to the page.

Display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item

Hey, anybody know if there was any java component or a way to display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item, which contains no images, but files of type PDF, DOC, TXT ....
Thank you

<p>The Enhanced HTML browser bean allows showing amost everything in its window. See this screen shot</p>
So you could download your stored document onto the AS or the client with the Webutil FILE_TRANSFERT package, or you could envisage top develop
a nice PL/SQL procedure that would send the content via the UTL_HTTP package.

Display as Text page items - How to change color based on Value

Hi,
I have a bunch of page items that I would like to display in red if they contain a minus "-" sign. My guess is that this can be done with a template. Right now they are using the Optional Label with Help template. How might I elegantly specify to display a red font if the text contains a minus sign?
I have done this before with report regions which include conditions and I just tagged a condition to a column template and I am looking to do something similar.
Thanks!

You haven't had a response... I was wondering if you could answer the question I posed of where are the "Display As" templates?
It seems that there is nothing on the forum or WEB about them. They must be in a CSS sheet somewhere, but I don't even have access to those folders at work.
I exported a "theme" and started to look through the sql code that created the CSS file (at least that is what I think it does) but it is about 170k and it is slow reading... I have tried searching on several key words but no luck yet.
I appreciate any insights you have. It seems to me that the display as templates would provide some real cool features...
turn negative numbers red
gray out non-updateable fields
The look and feel that would meet a design standard for a specific company...
Best of luck,
Sam

One of the pages I am working on is blocked and I cannot delete/change items displayed there

One of the pages I am working on is blocked and I cannot delete/change items displayed there. I have unlocked all the layers but still cannot access the content on that page. Thoughts?

I'm using version 9.2.1. on a mac
I'm helping edit some maps for the company I work for. The pages are regular A3
The map part is not blocked, but the second page with the descriptions/text will not let me make any changes to it. I cannot select anything on the page including the images.
I am trying to edit the text provided and rearrange the page layout accordingly.
I thought this was a "layer" problem, but this does not seem to be the case.

Is it possible to place display co-ordinate for page item

hi,
In any one of the reagion, if i want to display the label as "Name" in Row Number 15, column no 10 (assuming screen size is 25 rows and 80 characters ) and input column on specified row and column. (here row is vertically numbered and column is horizontally numbered) This will facilitate myself to place any page item in anywhere. Using Ajax, possibility may also be suggested so that i shall try to explore it.
Help is thanked in advance

dr.s.raghu,
You can position elements using absolute positioning but this will not be as easy as it sounds. You may need to create a very specific theme (or at least a few templates) for this.
Have a look at this:

IBE: Items Per Page for Display profile at Responsibility level

Hi,
we would like to have different number of items per page for different sites. We thought we would achieve it by setting profile "IBE: Items Per Page for Display" at the responsibility level and have unique responsibilities to access different sites.
However, I saw that by default profile "IBE: Items Per Page for Display" is not visible at the responsibility level. Can I alter it to be visible at responsibility level in the profile definition and then set it at the responsibility level?
Kindly help.
Regards
Harsha.

I tried to change at SERV level and still the profile never gets updated. Kindly help.
