Preventing Duplicate fields in forms

Hi,
We have a requirement of preventing the user entering duplicate fields.
For example
The user enters vendor number XXXX in the first record
and when he comes to second record or any subsequent record he should be prevented from entering XXXX.
Thanks

Hi there,
If the user is entering a 'new' record for a vendor and if the vendor number has to be unique, you should consider making the field a primary key and have the system generate the number (through a Sequence) rather than user-entered. This would avoid the 'problem' that is in question.
Regards,
John

How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

Hi All,
I have list with some Lookup columns like City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath 2010 Rules, writing rule in Xpath.
Thanks in Advance.

1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

Prevent duplicate outputs within a table?

Hi at all,
we have a table in a subform. At the moment there are several lines with the same material. This is ok.
Is it possible to prevent duplicate output in the form? We want to print out the rest of this line but set the material to blank.
I tried this with scripting with java script:
If (data.TF.DATA.field.rawValue == data.TF.DATA[-1].field.rawValue)
data.TF.DATA.field.rawValue = "";
Is it possible to point on the previous line with
DATA[-1]
This works for the conditional break so I hope this will works too.
I don`t want to use group levels...
Thanks.
Timo

Thanks for your answer.
It works.
data.formular.DATA.field::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
If ($.rawValue == data.form.DATA[-1].field.rawValue) then
this.presence = "hidden";
endif

How to prevent deletion in a form ?

I need to prevent deletion in a form if the starting date <= SYSDATE and show an alert .
How do I implement this please ?
My date field is of type timestamp , it's "id2"
I have added the following method in my backing bean :
    public String preventDel() {
long toDateAsTimestamp = id2.getTime();
long currentTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
long getRidOfTime = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
long toDateAsTimestampWithoutTime = toDateAsTimestamp / getRidOfTime;
long currentTimestampWithoutTime = currentTimestamp / getRidOfTime;
if (id2 < currentTimestampWithoutTime )
System.out.println("Display report.");
//how to show the alert ?
return null;
Any help please ?

Hi girl.
If i were you this is how I would do it;
1.- Create a transient attribute in your VO called ToBeDeleted of type boolean and assign its value as the following expression "StartingDate <= adf.currentDate".
2.- Expose the attribute in your bindings. Then, in your delete button you can:
     - Disable it if ToBeDeleted is not true.
     - In the description of the button you could put a message that it cant be deleted.
OR
     Use your java class to show the message. But the alert should be thrown as a facesMessage of type Error: look at this How to show af:message programatically
Also, I would like to say that none of this might be the best way to implement your use case. For the sound of it you have a business rule that should be implemented in your model project if you don't want to break the MVC pattern. (This is that you shouldnt be able to delete the row using your AppModule tester if the startingDate <= Sysdate, for example).
Hope this helps.

SAP GRC 10.1 AMF No data selected when adding duplicate fields from separate tables for configurable data sources

Hi There,
In SAP GRC 10.0, our team had an issue where we could not add duplicate fields from separate table (see ERROR: Select Currency/UoM field for the selected analyzed fields). This was resolved by the SAP Note 1904313/ 1904314 (http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1904313).
We upgraded our system to SAP GRC 10.1 SP05 and could now add the duplicate fields from separate tables. SAP Note 1904313/ 1904314 was part of SAP GRC 10.1 SP03 so it makes sense that we, in a higher version (SP05), would be able to do this.
The issue now is when we add the duplicate fields from different tables and run the Ad-hoc Query to test if the data source works correctly, the No Data Selected warning persists. This means that the data source provides no data for analysis, which is required to write our business rules.
Below is an example:
Basic data source with just one currency reference field EBAN-WAERS.
When you run the Ad-Hoc Query you receive data.
Basic data source with second currency reference field EKKO-WAERS.
When you run the Ad-Hoc Query no data is found.
Please also make reference to the following thread logged by my colleague (ERROR: Select Currency/UoM field for the selected analyzed fields)
Any assistance to receive data with duplicate fields from separate tables will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.

How to trap duplicate fields?

By this, I assume you mean you want to check for duplicate values in a block. There are several ways to do this and there are several examples of this in the Forum and on the Internet. Many of the examples on the Internet are demonstrated in Forms versions greater than Forms 6.0, but they should still work in Forms. You just won't be able to open the sample/demo forms included with the examples.
i need to track data types number,char and date.i was not using primary keys and foreign keys.
Why would you not want to enforce uniqueness on your table? As I mentioned above, there are methods in Forms to check for uniqueness (duplicates) in Forms, this should always compliment what you enforce through your table - not replace what you enforce on your table.

Preventing duplicate post

Does anyone have a suggestion regarding how to prevent duplicate posts with JSF?
As an example, I have one form that allows users to carry out CRUD operations on the data that is being displayed. All successfully processed requests result in a post back to this same page.
I really want to avoid the problems that could occur if a delete or new request gets reposted by an impatient user.
Any suggestions are welcome. I should also note that for scalability reasons, I prefer to avoid solutions which require storing token, etc. in the session. I will settle for such a strategy in the absence of a better solution.

Thanks to all who responded. Just a couple follow-up questions and comments.
1. Can not use Shale. I'm in a heavily restricted corporate environment that limits me to IBM's (poor) implementation of JSF 1.0.
2. Would rather not address the problem soley through the use of JavaScript because users can always disable JavaScript.
3. Redirecting back to the page instead of forwarding back is not practical for three reasons. One, it will require my backing bean to make calls down into my application to retrieve data that would already have been readily available if I were forwarding, and I'm not comfortable with that performance decrease. Two, redirecting back to the form makes displaying of validation errors difficult. Three, redirecting to the page would successfully handle the circumstance where a user hits refresh, but doesn't handle the case of an impatient user who clicks the submit button twice while waiting for a response.
If anyone can propose a solution that works within these constraints, let me know.
Thanks again for those who are contributing.

How to prevent duplicates in your contacts

When syncing two iphones via icloud with your computer how do I prevent duplicate contacts between both phones, icloud and yahoo?

I have 11 people designated under faces.
Do you see the 11 People when using the "Faces" view from the source list in the Library Inspector or from the "Faces" button in the toolbar?
If you are using the Faces button from the toolbar, you may have been excluding faces stacks you already created. Then, when you enter search strings, Aperture will suggest names from your contacts and you may create the same stack again.
Also, if the search field is not empty, you may already have more "Faces" stacks than you are actually seeing.
As you certainly know, you can always unite "Faces" stacks by dragging a stack onto the other to merge them. The merged stack will use the name of the stack you dragged to.

How to prevent duplicate submission?

Hello!
I have a page for gathering some data:
private function saveHander():void {
// Gathering data into database.
<mx:TextInput id="name" />
<mx:TextInput id="age" />
<s:Button id="Submit" label="Submit" click="saveHandler();" />
When focus on submit button,I click at the button and press the space bar at the same time,saveHander function execute two times.
How can I prevent duplicate submission? thanks!

Assuming this is a form you are attempting to save, good UX practice is to disable the form once you begin local form validation (submit button clicked) prior to forming your data packet for save.
Doing so will prevent the anomaly you are experiencing.
In other cases where the above practice is not practical, you can setFocus to another component (off the submit button) because as long as the focus remains on the button, depressing the space bar will trigger the mouse event for the button. Research ADA compliance if you want more details.

How to prevent duplicate entry in Details block

Dear All

Prevent duplicate on put() using DPL

Given it is not possible to have composite index keys, what is the best way of preventing duplicate record creation on a put() using DPL. For example, for the following:
@Entity
public class Category {
@PrimaryKey
private Long recordID;
private String description;
private Integer type;
private Long customerID;
So how to avoid a duplicate put() on ( description + type + customerID ) ...... without a performance compromise.
Can I extend the class with Comparator and then use set DatabaseConfig.setDuplicateComparator(Class<? extends Comparator<byte[]>> duplicateComparatorClass) or am I completely on the wrong track?
Thanks, Len

Does your GenericLookup constructor fill in the fields of the secondary key (the fields of the GenericLookupConstraint class)? You didn't include the constructor in your post.
In your source code you've duplicated the fields, which makes me wonder whether you think that the key fields are not part of the entity. The secondary key is part of the entity, so there is no reason for the duplication.
If you're still having trouble, please create a complete test program with a main() so we can try it and see what you're doing wrong.

Prevent duplicate data

I would like to make sure there are no duplicate data entries in my JSP that populates an Oracle database with a table called MainTable. MainTable has an Id field that is the primary key, ValData with a varchar data type, Fid and Fid2 are number data types. Fid and Fid2 are foreign key values that are taken from another table.
Id   ValData   Fid   Fid2
1    abc         34    2
2    efg          23    34
3    zeo         25    43Sometimes someone can enter duplicate data and the ValData, Fid and Fid2 will end up like this:
Id   ValData   Fid   Fid2
1    abc          34    2
2    efg           23    34
3    zeo          25    43
4    zeo          25    43Is there anything in Java I can implement to prevent duplicate data entry in the above example?

Thanks,
It now works after I added unique constraints to each of the fields.
Google results showed me that ORA-00001 is Oracle's Duplicate message and I added a condition in the SQLException Catch area and it catches all my Duplicate entry attempts and shows message to the user.
Here is what I have and would like to know if this is an efficient way I am doing this??
try
// db stuff
catch (SQLException sqle)
    String message = sqle.getMessage();
    if (message.indexOf("ORA-00001") != -1)
        out.println("Duplicate Data entry.");
    else
      out.println("some other ORA error");
}

Prevent duplicate login

Hi there,
I wonder if there is any approach to prevent duplicate login to Weblogic
server using the same userID and password.(weblogic provided or programmatic
is OK). I tried to use a table to maintain the current active user
information, but when the user just quits the browser or the weblogic server
is shut down, this will not work because the flag still remain in the table.
Does anyone have try it before or know how to do it?
Thanks in advanced.
Ken

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I am now using the similar solution except that I place a static
field(a hashtable) in the class that implements the
HttpSessionBindingListener to record the current users rather than store the
information in database table. Thus when the application server shuts down,
I don't need to clear the dirty data in the table.

i'm doing the same thing with an application. i've extended theAuthFilter class
and whenever a user logs into the application i insert a row into a"current users"
table. i also set an object into the user's session that implements theHttpSessionBindingListener.
when the session expires (either by the user by logging out or times outwithin
weblogic) the server calls my class that was inserted into the user'ssession
at which time i remove the row from the "current users" table.
hope this helps -

If I use the function to align adjacent fields, or the function to match size, duplicate fields are created. How can I get this to stop?

I have a form that consists of columns and rows of fillable fields. When I use the edit function to make the height of the fields the same, or make the widths of the different columns of fields the same, or align the fields vertically or horizontally, duplicate fields are created. If these fields have a box around them, all of the duplicate fields' boxes are shown. The field names have the same base name, but have a suffix that is sequentially numbered. If I delete the "lower" numbered suffix names (with the same base name), the resulting field does not appear on the form.
What is going on with the alignment or size process. I do use the CTRL-Click function to select the group of fields I am trying to size or align. If using the selection of multiple fields should be done differently, how can it be done?

No. That's not what's happening. The duplicate fields are ONLY created after I employ the alignment or sizing functions. Weird.
I was hoping that this was the result of some kind of setting in Acrobat, or that the duplicate fields would disappear when saving the form, but that's not what happened.
Thanks for your input, however.
