Portal calendar - new record link problem

We have a problem with calendars (Portal 9.0.2).
We have:
A form to enter/edit records in a table.
A link to this form.
A calendar based on the table in question.
If I try to connect the calendar to this form (for entering new records) I set it up in the calendar definition in the "Empty Date Link" field. I then click the pencil because I want to send a parameter from the calendar query along. This parameter window will ONLY accept static values or "TODAY" in the column list box.
Why can't I add my own columns in the column list box and send these values as parameters ?
TIA

Hi,
You cannot add your own parameters but you can definitely pass the values for all the fields in the form.
Thanks,

  • URL for a new record link in report

    My requirement is to have a hyperlink column on the report that will opens a new record edit screen to create a new Contact record with the Account Name and address info. defaulted in this new record screen.
    I've added a column to my report and change the Data Format to Custom Text Format with a URL that is derived from the url on the address bar of the browser when access the New button of the Contact section within the Account detail screen.
    The url on the address bar is as followed:
    https://secure-ausomxbga.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ContactInsert?OMCR0=ABGA-5Y4FNM&OMTGT=ContactEditForm&OMTHD=ContactNewNav&OMCBO=Account&OMRET0=AccountDetail%3focTitle%3dWALT%2bDISNEY%2bMEMORIAL%2bCA%2bINSTITUTE%2bFLORIDA%2bHOSPITAL%26OMTGT%3dAccountDetailForm%26OMTHD%3dAccountDetailNav%26ocEdit%3dY%26AccountDetailForm.Id%3dABGA-5Y4FNM%26OCTYPE%3dIV-Corporate%2bMaster%2bData%26ocTitleField%3dName&OCNOEDITTYPE=Y
    I've tried to replace the field values with the analytics field names as followed but is getting error when trying to click on the column with the following url:
    @[html]”*a href=”/OnDemand/user/ContactInsert?OMCR0=’ || Account."Account ID" || ‘&OMTGT=ContactEditForm&OMTHD=ContactNewNav&OMCBO=Account&OMRET0=AccountDetail%3focTitle=’||Account."Account Name"||’%26OMTGT%3dAccountDetailForm%26OMTHD%3dAccountDetailNav%26ocEdit%3dY%26AccountDetailForm.Id=’ || Account."Account ID" || ‘%26OCTYPE%3d’Other’%2bData%26ocTitleField%3dName&OCNOEDITTYPE=Y*/a*
    ( < is replaced with * for posting purpose)
    Is what I'm trying to do possible? If possible, any one can help me out on the syntax? Thanks in advance.

    Greetings TTone,
    Its not possible.
    The only field which can be set is the Account by setting OMCR0=ADSA-6FX7YL

  • Adding a New Contact Record link in a report

    Dear Gurus,
    I've followed instructions on how to create a New record link in a report using instructions from the Oracle CRM On Demand Reporting book but needed additional help in terms of how to auto populate the Account Name onto the New Contact Edit screen. I've created a custom Contact report that is setup as a web applet to replace the OOB Contact section that is showing on the Account Detail screen.
    On this report, I've created a hyperlink that opens a New record edit screen for a Contact record. I need to pass in the Account Name since this is a required field on the Contact Detail screen and needed help with the URL that I've entered as a custom text format in the column formula. From the M. Lairson's Reporting book, I've entered:
    @[html]*a href="/OnDemand/user/ContactDetail?OMTGT=ContactDetailForm &ContactDetailForm.Id="@target="_
    top">"Contact Details"*/a*
    (html not displayed correctly - I've to substitute < and > with *)
    This worked great but I need to pass in the Account Name. Can you help with a URL that will do what I needed? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Copy the URL from the contact create link and pass the values like Account Name etc by adding it to the URL, use & to separate the values.
    hope it helps,

  • Problem with a primary key when creating a new record in Forms

    My table has a field - MDD_KEY - that is a primary key. It is updated from a sequence with a before-insert database trigger. I know this works properly as the primary key was accurately populated when I inserted 1433 records.
    In Forms 6, I have a form based on that table. I have set the mdd_key as a hidden field because I assume it will be entered by the before-insert trigger. However, when I enter data into the table, and then try to save it, I get a FRM-40202: Field must be entered. - followed by - FRM-40222: Disabled item MDD_KEY failed validation.
    If I set DATA Required to no, when I try to save I get an FRM-40600: Record has already been inserted - but no such record exists in the database. I know this record is unique and does NOT exist because I deliberately made it up.
    In the property palatte, the attributes of the field are:
    DATA Data Type Number
    Required Yes
    DATABASE Database Item Yes
    Primary Key Yes
    Query Only No
    Query Allowed Yes
    Query Length 0
    Insert Allowed Yes
    Update Allowed Yes
    Update Only if Null No
    Lock Record No
    I assume that my problem is that with a new record, the form wants to see the MDD_KEY populated before it saves - but that isn't going to happen until the before insert trigger fires in the database. I assume I have to populate that field within forms, but how do I do that without messing up the database trigger/sequence? I will have to load more data directly into the database - so I need the database trigger in place.
    I have not used primary keys before so I am more than a little bit confused about how and when it should be populated when a new record is created in Forms.
    Any help would be appreciated as I cannot enter new data into my form (works well with existing data).
    Thanks

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
    Ron

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • Problem with inserting new records in Oracle Forms

    Hi Friends,
    I am a new user to Oracle Forms and I need a help from you people. The problem is as follows:
    I have a data block in which I can display a number of records. In this data block the user will be able to edit the fields if no child records are found in another table. I have used when-new-record-instance to attain this scenario. All are text items. One item licensee_id which is made invisible by setting the property in property palette and required=no ( as this is the primary key of the table). Also the audit columns are made invisible.
    The code for it is as follows:
    DECLARE
         v_alert_button NUMBER;
         v_cnt                          NUMBER;
    BEGIN
         SELECT COUNT (*)
    INTO v_cnt
    FROM id_rev_contracts
    WHERE licensee_id = :ID_REV_LICENSEES.licensee_id;
    IF v_cnt > 0 THEN
    set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
    ELSE
         set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
         -- set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
    END IF;
    END;
    Now in this data block I should also be able to insert new records and for the same I have used PRE-INSERT trigger and the code for it is as follows:
    DECLARE
         v_alert_button NUMBER;
    CURSOR v_licensee_id IS SELECT id_rev_licensees_s.NEXTVAL FROM dual;
    BEGIN
    OPEN v_licensee_id;
    FETCH v_licensee_id INTO :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id;
    CLOSE v_licensee_id;
    IF :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id IS NULL THEN
    Message('Error Generating Next v_licensee_id');
    RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
    END IF;
    :ID_REV_LICENSEES.created_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
    :ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_updated_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
    :ID_REV_LICENSEES.create_date := SYSDATE;
    :ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_update_date := SYSDATE;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN form_trigger_failure
    THEN
    RAISE form_trigger_failure;
    WHEN OTHERS
    THEN
    v_alert_button :=
    msgbox ('ERROR in Pre-Insert - ' || SQLERRM, 'STOP', 'Contact IST');
    RAISE form_trigger_failure;
    END;
    Every thing is compiling fine but at the run time when I am trying to insert a new record I am receiving the following error:
    FRM-40508:ORACLE error:unable to insert record
    I also think the pre-insert record is not firing at the time of inserting a new record and saving it. So I request you to please delve into this problem and suggest me how to overcome this problem. Code snippets would do more help for me. If you need any other things from me please let me know. I will see if I could be of any help in that concern because I may not be able to send the entire form as it is.
    Thanks and regards,
    Vamsi K Gummadi.

    first of all
    pre-insert fires after the implicit/explicit commit/commit_form is issued and before the real insert is submitted to the db.
    i would suggest to remove the error handling part for the moment
    because i believe you might be getting "ora-xxxx cannot insert null"
    and also make visible the primary column to check if the pre-insert is executed.
    it would be better to make visible for a while the not null columns of the table/block
    i suppose that the block is insert allowed and you are using table as the source of the block and not any procedures or something...

  • HT1692 I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; twpo problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my calendar will not syncd at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do no

    I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

  • Problem when updating af:table with new records

    Hi,
    I have a page that shows two tables from the same DB table but with different VOs.
    Table1 displays records where date_column is within the current month, table2 displays all records.
    The problem is that when I add new record and return to the page, I find out that the new record has been added to both tables, it’s shown in table1 even though its date is not within this month.
    When I run the page again the problem is solved and everything is in the right place !!
    How can I fix this?

    Hi,
    you will have to re-query the iterators because you add the new row to a VO - which is an iterator - that wont filter your input (instead you add to a filtered iterator). However, its strange that both tables show that value because if these are different VO they should be independent. Only if they are instances of the same VO tehy are expected to show the same data

  • Problem call forms from a form in 'create' mode of a new records

    Hello,
    I'll try to explain myself well, i have one form and now i am in 'create' mode , no value exist meanwhile in the primary key of the table behind, the problem is that in the same form i have some buttons that calls another form in wich i must provide the value of the primary key, let's think of an example of cities & streets tables.
    If i'll be in the form of cities in 'create a new record' mode, i can't let the end-user click on the button for the streets of that 'new' city becouse of the non-existing yet for the primary key of cities. I know how to 'dissapear' the button of streets in this create new record mode but i am not convinced that this is the best way to do it.
    I'll be glad to hear about some sollutions for that kind of problem, i am sure that i am not the only one who must think of this kind of problem.
    Best regards,
    Victor

    Hiding the button is straightforward. You simply need to add a condition on to the button to ensure that the primary key value is not null.
    The way how I've acheived master/detail data entry pages before has been a bit hacky, so I'll wait for someone else to come along with the 'right' way to do it!

  • New Record in Database problems

    Hi All:
    I am new to Appleworks, I have been building a Database and everything was working fine, but suddenly everytime I try to enter a New Record instead of giving me Blank Field it repeats a record I have entered before, and I can't seem to get a clean new record. I am sure I am not duplicating it. I am typing Command R
    Thanks a lot
    Alex Neuman

    Hi,
    As much as I use and appreciate Apple hardware and software products, I must say that the Database section of AppleWorks is flaky and needs work. I suspect this will never happen given that iWorks is now Apple's front-runner. As far as I know iWorks doesn't have a db module anyway. I use Appleworks (db) in my work as music contractor as well as for invoicing and other routine applications. Until recently everything was fine. Then I built a db that had a whole lot more fields and formulae and was designed to account for just about any variable that might crop up when paying an orchestra. It was very frustrating. The problem arose when trying to delete fields. I finally came up with a workable db but it's bloated since it contains many unused fields that have been converted to "text" fields. They simply can't be deleted or AW crashes.
    It's important to me to have a different db for each job I'm handling due to confidentiality, so it's imperative that I be able to open an existing db, delete all records, save under a new name, and then proceed to customize the new db to suit the needs of the new job. Appleworks hasn't been up to the task. I've mentioned this before on this forum.
    Enter Filemaker Pro. There's a demo available. It's a much more fully implemented db front end: multiple tables per file, easy (and very familiar to AW users) to use interface, and perhaps best of all, great options for importing and exporting data.
    That's where I'm spending my next few bucks.

  • Jclient - Jtree problem inserting new records

    I reviewed the component example of using a jtree and for display only it works fine but doesn't include any code to add new records. our example uses a polymorphic table called "levels", as:
    level1
    __| level2
    _____| level3
    inserting a record to the level1 vo works and redisplays in the jtree fine but inserts to level2 or level3 creates
    display issues and other tree issues. The data is recorded correctly and the tree displays correctly if you close the app and rerun it.
    We also attempted to correct this by setting
    vo.setAssociationConsistent(true) in each of the level table vos. this did not help.
    Is this a bug ? Can someone provide some example code if required to get this to display and insert correctly.

    Robert,
    I can't tell if the problem is a bug and it would require code reviews and test cases to be specific on that.
    I suggest contacting customer support with this issue so the problem gets documented, addressed and solved.

  • IChat And New D-Link Router Problems

    Folks,
    I really need a helping hand with iChat. I've posted some problems here before which you were kind enough to help me out with but I am at wits end tonight. I just bought a new D-Link EBR-2310 Wired Router (Hardware Version B1 and Firmware Version 2.01 - the very latest version). I'm completely up to date on my iMac running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with every software update known to June 11th, 2009 including QuickTime 7.6.2. I have QuickTime Streaming set to 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet LAN and iChat Bandwidth Limit set to 500 kbps.
    I use an AIM account which uses port 5190. With my old D-Link Router (DI-604), I had to set up an Advanced Virtual Server for UDP Port 5190 and I also had to disable the "Discard Ping From WAN side" function (which seems to almost defeat the purpose of the security of the router in some ways but I didn't have much choice). Making these changes seemed to fix all the iChat "communications error" problems I was having with the older router. Things seemed to work fine after making these changes mind you, this was under Mac OS X 10.5.6 and I'm now running Mac OS X 10.5.7.
    In this new D-Link EBR-2310 Router, I've done much the same thing. In the Advanced Section of the new router under Application Rules, I've set up a new "application name" called iChat and configured Trigger Port 5190 UDP and Firewall Port 5190 UDP - set to "always" but should I have both UDP and TCP enabled or just UDP? I've also enabled "WAN Ping Respond" (again, this seems to defeat some of the security of the router but no choice other than to do this).
    I'm getting iChat "communications errors" and just a generally poor connection with whomever I chat with. On their end, my voice will drop out at times and my image will sometimes have a little static in it. It happens with all users on their end (some are AIM users, some are dotmac/mobile me users). After a few minutes of being able to chat, the picture will freeze and a communication error pops up. We have to quit out of our connection and log back in and then it will work again for a while until the same problem occurs.
    I called D-Link and they were of no help when it came to using Macs with iChat (iChat isn't even listed as one of the applications in any of the router preferences). They suggested changing the MTU from 1500 down to 1492 but my old D-Link worked fine at 1500. They also suggested disabling "SPI" in the router firewall settings. I haven't done any of this yet as they didn't know much about Macs.
    Do I need to disable "SPI" in the router firewall settings? Do I need to configure both UDP and TCP ports 5190 in Application Rules? Do I need to set up some sort of Port Forwarding on this new router? Is there some other configuration I need to set up in this new router? I'm just lost. Darned near ready to do away with the router completely but we have three Macs on our network so we need the router in order for all of us to be able to access the Internet.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gerard

    Hi,
    Both are correct.
    iChat 3 uses 20 ports as a Range for the A/V chats as it uses 4 ports on a Vid in Vid Out, Audio In Audio Out basis where as iChat 4 sends and gets everything on one port.
    The iChat 4 Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282 does not mention the Bonjour or Jabber Ports which are still needed (in the router and/or Modem)
    What the Second Article does not list is the iChat Screen Sharing port.
    For this using UPnP if the device has it is better.
    UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows the app to sate when and what ports are open for it (they close after a period of Non use that can be adjusted in some modem/routers).
    You need this as the Screen Sharing ports is random.
    The Port Forward site shows two versions
    Version 1
    Version 2
    with slight differences in how the boxes can be filled in.
    Neither set of pics gives clues as to whether UPnP is on there.
    Yes I would disable SPI (And/Or DoS)
    SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) tries to examine the data coming to your modem and judge if it is Ok to pass on.
    There is so much iChat Video data in some chats that it can not keep up and closes the port.
    DoS (Denial Of Service) measures the rate of data and when it reaches a threshold it cuts the port presuming it to be an attack. Of course most devices that have it have un-adjustable settings that do not reflect modern Internet Speeds.
    EDIT
    This Emulator says UPnP is in Advanced Network along with Enable WAN Ping Respond (Although you do not have a time limit adjustment)

    Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Receiver JDBC: Error while doing the Deleting and Inserting new records

    Hi All,
              I am doing Idoc to JDBC scenario. In this I am collecting & bundling different type of Idocs and then sending to the JDBC receiver. My requirement is to delete the existing records in the database and insert the new records. I have configures as mentioned in the link
    Re: Combining DELETE and INSERT statements in JDBC receiver
    In the above link its shows for single mapping. In my scenario I am using multi mapping for collecting idocs in BPM. If I configured for normal mapping then it is working fine(Deleting existing records and Inserting new record). Whenever I am using multi mapping then I am getting following error in the receiver JDBC communication channel u201CError while parsing or executing XML-SQL document: Error processing request in sax parser: No 'action' attribute found in XML document (attribute "action" missing or wrong XML structure)u201D . Can you please tell me what might be the problem.

    Hi !
    check this out:
    JDBC - No 'action' attribute found in XML document - error
    JDBC receiver adapter: No 'action' attribute found in XML document
    It appears that the inbound payload (the one that is going from XI to the JDBC adapter) does not have the requiered tag to specify which SQL action to execute in the receiver system. Maybe the multimapping is not creating the desired output message format.
