Populating a poplist in a query

I am populating a poplist at runtime (from another master table) depending on the selected value in a field before that. From the populated description I get the code and keep insert this to the based table which is used to insert the entered data.
When doing a query for the inserted record i need to get the above saved code and populate the description to the same poplist.
Is there an easy way?

For top-level properties of your item objects (which I think
you will have), just specify the labelField. For values in nested
objects, or for calculated or concatenated columns, you wil need to
use a labelFunction.
I advise against binding directly to the result
("lastResult", to be specific when binding) and advise using a
result handler function in which you can inspect the exact
structure of the event.result object (just "result" in an event
handler).
To work up to this, why not hard code a bit of dataProvider
that is EXACTLY what you think you will be getting from the CFC.
Put it in a [Bindable] variable and bind the combobox dataProvider
to that. Use labelField or labelFunction to get the combobox to
work with that, then implement the data service call, and in its
result handler, assign the event.result to the bindable variable.
Voila!

Oracle Forms List Items :not populating list Dynamically using select Query

Hi ,
I need to create a list item. And the values to be populated in the list are from Database but I'm unable to populate from database.
Please help me out how to populate the values from database.
In Property Pallete we have Elements in List under Functional section , In this we have to manually enter the List values but we can't use any Query to Dynamically populate.
Thanks,
Kiran Sanga

When you need to fill a list with the result of a query, you'll have to do it at runtime.
Andreas has a good blogpost about this.

Populating item using a sql query based on other item of diff table

Hi,
It would be great if someone could help.
I have two items on my form page .
My first item P1_sub_prog is of select list with submit, it fetches values from table prog "mv_cap_prog_subprog" of the same schema whihc I am using for teh current application.
I want my second item P1_PROGRAM to be populated with value corresponding to my first item value, after being fetched from the same table on the basis of the first item value (P1_SUB_PROG)
Both the item values have a relation.
I tried by creating sql as well as LOV for the second item but its not working.
It displays nulll in the second item field.
While using sql I tried the following query
in the source request of second item i.e P1_PROGRAM
SELECT DISTINCT a.program_id d,a.program_id r FROM
mv_cap_prog_subprog
WHERE SUB_PROGRAM_ID = :P1_sub_prog

Hi,
Search this forum for "cascading select list".
You will find lots of help.

Help with poplist record group query

Hi, I want to populate a poplist based on the following query:
SELECT value
FROM table.value
WHERE code_parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ALL'
FROM dual
ORDER
BY code
Now I know that you need 2 columns in the record group to populate a poplist, but I cannot seem to modify the query to have 2 columns. I am basically adding the 'ALL' value, which will have a label of 'ALL' and a value of 'ALL'.
The first select I can easily modify to be an acceptable record group for a dynamic poplist, Its the union that im having problems with. The following select does not work. Help would be appreciated.
SELECT table.value, table.value
FROM table.value
WHERE code_parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ALL', 'ALL'
FROM dual
ORDER
BY table.value

Based on the error I'd guess that one of your columns are defined as a number and the union columns are both varchar2. Match the datatype with the column it corresponds to:
UNION
SELECT 'ALL', 0
FROM DUAL
ORDER BY 1
The order by clause also needs to reference the column number instead of the column name since the union clause does not have a column name.

Populating application item when updateable query report item is changed

I have been looking at the help for cascading LOVs posted here. Unfortunately, I am not able to get it to work, and so am backing up with baby steps.
I have a sql updateable report. It has a column (IN_STATE) that is a LOV sql query that pulls up a list of states. When a state is selected, I want the value to be placed in the application item, TEMPORARY ITEM. because I have copied the logic, it may actually be more complicated that needed at this point...happy to cut things out if need be.
The updateabale report item, IN_STATE has the element attribute of:
onchange="get_ajax_select_xml(this);"
The region has an html header of:
<script type="text/javascript">
function appendToSelect(pSelect, pValue, pContent)
var l_Opt = document.createElement("option");
l_Opt.value = pValue;
if(document.all){
pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;
else {
l_Opt.appendChild(document.createTextNode(pContent));
pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);
var g_area=new Object;
var g_sub_area=new Object;
function replace_select_list(pSelect,pXML)
var l_Count = pXML.getElementsByTagName("option").length;
pSelect.length = 0;
for(var j=0;i<l_Count;j++){
var l_Opt_Xml = pXML.getElementsByTagName("option")[j];
appendToSelect(pSelect, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'),l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
function get_ajax_select_xml(pThis)
var l_Return = null;
var l_td=html_CascadeUpTill(pThis,'TD');
var l_area=l_td.nextSibling.getElementsByTagName('select')[0];
var l_sub_area=l_td.nextSibling.nextSibling.getElementsByTagName('select')[0];
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=get_area_code',html_GetElement('pFlowStepId').value);
get.add('TEMPORARY_ITEM',pThis.value);
gReturn = get.get('XML');
</script>GET_AREA_CODE and GET_SUB_AREA_CODE are application processes.
At this stage, I am just trying to polutate TEMPORARY_ITEM when IN_STATE is changed.
Any hints are appreciated. thanks

Populating Additional Field in InfoSet Query

Hello,
My team and I are working on generating a relatively simple report from the VBAK (Sales Header), VBAP (Sales Items) and VEDA (Date data) tables. We would prefer to be able to build an InfoSet (SQ02) and Query (SQ01) instead of writing a custom report.
The problem is the VEDA table contains data that may link to the VBAK and sometimes the VBAP table. The usage is that the header has begin and end dates for a contract, which is denoted by a blank value in POSNR field in the VEDA table. If a particular line on a contract has different dates than the header, there will be an additional record in the VEDA table where the POSNR value matches the POSNR value from the VBAP (Item) record.
The link to the VBAP table is straight forward being keyed off of the VBELN (doc number) and the POSNR (item number) fields in both tables. However, there's isn't a POSNR field in the VBAK (header) table and the VEDA table shows this as a blank value in the POSNR field.
The simplest thing I can think of doing is link the VEDA table to the VBAP and let it retrieve all the exact matches on Sales Doc & Item Number but add two "Additional Fields" to the Query that would represent the Sales Header begin and end dates.
I know how to add an additional field but how would you "re-query" the VEDA table and under which option under the Code tab.
Thanks

Hi Alex
Please see if below example helps you to understand:
Supposing, we are displaying material description within our query.
1. So we define the join with MARA & MAKT while creating infoset in transaction SQ02.
2. We create feild groups to identify the fiels we use for selection and display.
3. Here after selecting language key from MAKT, by default this will take SY-LANGU always for the case.
4. To make it applicable for different languages we can code in INITIALIZATION Event.
5. To do so we can do it by two options: Use menupath: Goto->Code->Initialization
i) First option using variable: <b>MAKT-SPRAS = SY-LANGU.</b>.
ii) Second option using Parameter-Id: <b>SET PARAMETER ID 'SPR' FIELD SY-LANGU</b>.
6. Save & Generate.
Now when we execute the query, we are defaulting the language as System Language.
Hope the above info helps you for better understanding.

Dynamic populating Drop down using BI Query

Is there a way to create a Cascading ComboBox populated by an SQL/SDK query to a table? Referenced Lists too hard to maintain.

Background:
I’m looking for an alternative to using referenced Enum (aka Lists) for “dropdowns” (aka “ComboBoxes”) in the forms.
The reason for looking for an alternative mechanism for drop-downs was that using referenced Enums
ran into issues when the List items in the enum were to be updated:
The SCSM Console refuses to allow for the deletion of the referenced
Enum MP when there are other MPs referring to it.
The SCSM Console doesn’t allow the editing of a sealed Enum MP’s List items.
One has to hand-add new list items to the Enum MP’s XML.
Importing that new Enum MP over the old one causes views to not show data for the changed Enum.
The Customer wants the dropdown choices to be dynamically updated.
The Customer also wants this to be user-friendly “for the masses”, meaning that hand-editing XML and tinkering with the SCSM Console is undesirable.
We had enumeration lists with hundreds of choices, making hand-entry, using the SCSM Console, inordinately lengthy, error prone, and, frankly, tedious.
What I’m looking for:
The deeper requirements implied in these three Use Cases below are:
The system has to be easily maintainable.
The system has to reflect the latest changes in data.
The system has to be usable by “the masses”.
Large sets [200+] of choices have to be machine importable.
[Note: one reason why enums are not desirable is that we have had
hundreds of choices to add and a manual approach was not feasible]
Not as a prescription for a solution, but as a way of showing what I am looking for through an example-that-says-more-than-a-thousand-words: I want to implement the Service Manager usage-equivalent of a
“Cascading Dropdown” (aka “Cascading ComboBoxes”) instead of using Enums. It doesn’t have to use
Cascading Dropdowns but allow for the back-end ease-of-use that comes with it.
Use Cases:
Use Case 01: A User wants to edit the contents of a Windows Computer CI record.
Say that I want to change the field Business Unit and its associated field
Customer
You pick one element from a list of Business Unit choices.
The act of clicking on that field triggers a SQL search through a table of all current customers and populates the dropdown for the field
Business Unit.
Say, for the sake of an example, you pick the Business Unit “Accenture AO”.
The act of chosing “Accenture AO” triggers another SQL search through a table to find all
Customer values that belong to the Business Unit “Accenture AO” and that filtered set is used to populate the dropdown for
Customer.
The user chooses “Planet Express”.
The act of chosing “Planet Express” triggers a final SQL search through a table to find what the two-letter code is for “Accenture AO” + “Planet Express”, say “PE”. That value is used to set a
hidden field.
Use Case 02: Maintaining the tables used to populate Business Unit and
Customer lists
Say I’m an Admin who wants to update Business Unit and Customer
lists as there have been the creation of a new Business Unit “Accenture Galactic” and there have been new Customers ”Klingon Karrier”, “Romulan Relaxair”, and “Federation Fun” and, say,
two-hundred other Customers, with their two-letter codes “KK”,”RR”,”FF”…etc…etc..etc… respectively.
I open a table editor for Business Unit and Customers.
I have, say a CSV that has the Business Unit, Customer, and Code field and 200+ records
I import using some automated mechanism the 200+ records.
Use Case 01-B: A user immediately has their choices updated.
Say that I want to change the field Business Unit and its associated field
Customer
You pick one element from a list of Business Unit choices.
The act of clicking on that field triggers a SQL search through a table of all current customers and populates the dropdown for the field
Business Unit.
Say, for the sake of an example, you pick the Business Unit “Accenture Galactic”.
The act of chosing “Accenture Galactic” triggers another SQL search through a table to find all
Customer values that belong to the Business Unit “Accenture Galactic” and that filtered set is used to populate the dropdown for
Customer.
The user chooses “Federation Fun”.
The act of chosing “Federation Fun” triggers a final SQL search through a table to find what the two-letter code is for “Accenture Galactic” + “Federation Fun”, say “PE”. That value is used to set a
hidden field: “FF”

As for the Data Typing, the class property would be a String type, which maps to NVARCHAR in SQL, so any unicode characters, including XML (i'd recommend keeping it below 4000 for performance reasons). look to how the UserInput control works in Service Requests.
I would recommend a class extension woth a single string property to store the data on the windows computer class, and a separate stand-alone class to store your "options". no relationship should be implied.

Populating a ComboBox from DB query

Hello –
I have created a ComboBox to allow users to choose a category
as a filter for a products catalog. The list of categories is
returned by one of the functions of a ColdFusion CFC I’m
using in the app; it has been tested and examined in the debugger
and is returning the correct ArrayCollection.
For now, I have ended up hard coding the ArrayCollection that
populates the ComboBox, like this:
<mx:ComboBox id="series" styleName="glass" width="250"
rowCount="16"
change="someFunction();">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:ArrayCollection>
<mx:Object label="All Categories" data="0"/>
<mx:Object label="Interlocking Puzzles" data="1"/>
<mx:Object label="Math Games" data="2"/>
// etc. - 16 categories
</mx:ArrayCollection>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:ComboBox>
Of course, the above works fine, but I would prefer to use
the CFC. I tried something like:
<mx:ArrayCollection id="categList"
source="mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(roService.roMethod.result);"
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{categList}" />,
but I don’t know how to tell the component what the
‘label’ is and what the ‘data’ is . I am
sure this is an easy one for someone with a little experience.
Please, somebody, give me an idea how to code this, or at least
where I can look it up. I have read the whole help material, but
can’t figure it out.
Regards,
Carlos

Query: Customer Exit variable not getting populated

Hello Experts, I created a Customer Exit variable (ZPREV_MTH_OPS) in the query designer (7.0). I also put the necessary code in the function module "Z_BWFI_QUERY_CELL_MANIPULTN", but the query variable is not getting populated when I run the query using RSRT. The boxes for "Variable is ready for input" and "variable is without context" boxes when defining the variable.
This is my code in the exit:

Issue in Dependent poplist in Advanced table

Hi,
I am facing problem while implementing dependent poplist in advanced table. I have a query region and the results are populated in advanced table. In advanced table i have 2 poplists A and B.
A is dependent on one of the column C1 in the advanced table. This value of C1 comes from database and is read only field in the advanced table. Based on different values in column C1 value in poplist A should be populated.
Poplist B is dependent on poplist A. The value in poplist B should change when i change the value in poplist A.
So both the poplist queries have bind variable. Poplist A has bind variable for column C1 and poplist B has bind variable for A.
I have gone through the thread http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2297322&tstart=0 and followed all the steps mentioned by Mukul.
*1) I have set picklist view definition for both poplists A and B. Both the poplists have Add Blank Value = True*
*2) In the process request method, i have set setListVOBoundContainerColumn and picklist cache to false*
//Get poplist fields
OAMessageChoiceBean mcbA =
(OAMessageChoiceBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("A");
OAMessageChoiceBean mcbB =
(OAMessageChoiceBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("B");
//set the poplists cache as null
mcbA.setPickListCacheEnabled(false);
mcbB.setPickListCacheEnabled(false);
//Assign the bind Variable for poplists
OAAdvancedTableBean advTableBean = (OAAdvancedTableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("AdvTblRN");
//Set the bind variable to C1
mcbA.setListVOBoundContainerColumn(0, advTableBean,"C1Field");
//Set the bind variable to ActionField
// BFormValueField is attached to a transient attribute ATransAttr with default value as xxxxx
mcbReasonField.setListVOBoundContainerColumn(0, advTableBean,"BFormValField");
*3) I have set fireaction event EVNT on poplist A.*
*4) In the process form request on EVNT i am setting the value of transient attribute ATransAttr equal to the value selected in poplist A for the particular row.*
if(strPageEvent.equalsIgnoreCase("EVNT")){
//To fetch the row reference from VO
String rowReference =
pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
Serializable[] serRowRefParam = {rowReference};
applicationModuleObj.invokeMethod("execPoplists",serRowRefParam);
AM method
public void execPoplists(String strRowRef){
SearchQueryVORowImpl rowSearchQueryVOObj =
(SearchQueryVORowImpl)findRowByRef(strRowRef);
if(rowSearchQueryVOObj != null) {
String strAVal = rowSearchQueryVOObj.getA();
rowSearchQueryVOObj.setATransAttr(strAVal);
When i run the page and do a search, i am getting correct values in poplist A depending on value in Column C1. But when i select any value in poplist A (for any row) the value in poplist B is changing for all the rows of advanced table. The requirement is that Poplist B of the selected row should display the values based on the value of poplist A for that row. Poplist B for other rows should display blank as nothing has been selected in the poplist A for those rows.
Please let me know what have i missed in the above code.
Thanks,
VG
Edited by: VG on Jul 18, 2011 8:02 PM

Hi Gyan,
Let me know if there is a workaround for the problem. I want poplist B to display values based on poplist A for each row. If i select A1 from Poplist A for row1 then poplist B should display values B1,B2,B3 in that particular row1. Other rows should not display these B1,B2,B3 values as i have not selected anything in poplist A of other rows.
Thanks,
VG

Currency Field - KOMK-WAERK not getting populated

Dear All,
In my infoset, i am reading the value from KONV table. But when i generate the infoset, system prompts a Warning Message saying:
Currency Field KOMK-WAERK will not be filled. Affected currency amount fields: (& it gives out the list of fields).
In my data section when i put TABLES KOMK, then the message does not appear, but the currency field still does not get populated when i execute the query.
Any suggestions as to how i can make the currency field populate in my output?
Await inputs.
Anyone to help?
Edited by: Vivek on Feb 9, 2008 8:51 PM

Is not KOMK a structure, you need to fill this structure. Try to map required fields as following :
CLEAR KOMK.
KOMK-MANDT = SY-MANDT.
KOMK-KALSM = VBDKR-KALSM.
KOMK-FKART = VBDKR-FKART.
KOMK-KAPPL = 'V'.
IF VBDKR-KAPPL NE SPACE.
KOMK-KAPPL = VBDKR-KAPPL.
ENDIF.
KOMK-WAERK = VBDKR-WAERK.
KOMK-KNUMV = VBDKR-KNUMV.
KOMK-VBTYP = VBDKR-VBTYP.
KOMK-BUKRS = VBDKR-BUKRS.
KOMK-BELNR = VBDKR-VBELN.

How to ignore programmatically some items during a query ?

Hi all,
The process of my application is like this : first of all the end-user enters some criteria , then he/she presses a button to search for the possible results matching the criteria entered (execute_query). The possible results are displayed through a multirecord based datablock.
The criteria screen has two parts , say part_a and part_b. When the end-user does not enter any criteria in part_b then the datasource of the results block should be a table , say data_source_1 ; and if some criteria are entered in part_b then the datasource of the results block should be a view , say data_source_2.
The datasource data_source_1 has less number of columns than the datasource data_source_2 , but all of data_source_1's columns are included into data_source_2.
So my problem is when the datasource of the results block is set to data_source_1 then there are unknown columns when executing the query (alert error). All of the columns of data_source_2 are included in the results block , and all of the columns of data_source_1 are automatically there because mathematically speaking data_source_1 is included into data_source_2.
I have tried to use in the pre-query trigger of the results block this statement : set_item_property('results_possibles.column_a',queryable,property_false); but the same error still occurs.
So how to ignore these items ?
Thank you very much indeed.

After looking at what you did to try to solve the problem, I'm not sure what the actual problem is.
You can make both datasources have the same number of columns by selecting nulls:
data_source_1: select a, b, c, null as d, null as e from <table>
data_source_2: select a, b, c, d, e from <view>
If you have a field which is used to query a column which is included in data_source_2 but not in data_source_1, and that field is populated when you run the query, then just set the block's default_where to ignore that field.
eg
data_source_1: where...and c like nvl(:control.c,'%')
data_source_2: where...and c like nvl(:control.c,'%') and d like nvl(:control.d,'%')...

How to fail the task sequence if an MDT variable is not populated?

We are deploying Windows 7 using ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 CU3 integrated with MDT 2012 Update 1 using the MDT database locations table to populate the MachineObjectOU MDT variable.
Currently the "Apply Network Settings" task will read the MachineObjectOU variable and add the computer account to the OU returned by the MDT database query. If no value is returned it will not domain join the computer, instead it continues
the task sequence and configures the machine as a workgroup machine.
I would like the task sequence to fail if the MachineObjectOU variable is not populated by the MDT database query instead of continuing as a workgroup build. What is the easiest way to do this?
Thanks!
FP

I agree.
I would write a script that reads the Variable and checks that it has a valid content.
If it doesnt i would return an exitcode from my script and have the TS fail on that

Query is not picking up right data from the cube
