Primary key when creating reports with forms

I'm new to APEX and I'm creating a report with forms using the wizard. I've checked the 'Include Analysis Pages' checkbox. When I select the 'add pages' button I get the following message:
Table has no primary keys defined. A primary key is required when creating reports with forms.
I know that the table does have a primary key because I defined it and also it is visible in the Sql workshop / Object browser and Toad.
Am I missing something or is this some sort of bug?
thanks
sb

You're missing something. This message means you've not told APEX what the primary key is. You shouldn't have been able to get passed the page in the wizard that asks for it though. Can't describe where it prompts for it from memory, but it shouldn't be hard to find.
HTH

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
Glenn

Error when creating a Report with Form component

I am trying to create a new report with form component but when I try to choose the Table/View name I get a web error "404 web not found". I know for a fact that the list is working because I see the list when I create a "simple form". Is this a bug or i need to do something to get it working? thanks

419008,
It is a bug that has been identified and will be corrected in an HTML DB patch. There is nothing you can do to correct it.
This bug is specific to Internet Explorer and utf-8 encoding. It is not a bug with IE, it is a bug with how we handle this for IE.

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
Arnold

Hi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();

Use multiple primary keys to create DB constraint

Hi,
Is it possible to have multiple primary keys within one EJB to create a DB including the constraints, if so how? Is there an example of this or any example which uses multiple primary keys to create a DB?
Thanks,
Maarten

"Is it possible to have multiple primary keys within one EJB..."
If you mean a composite key, yes. Your PrimaryKeyObject would have one attribute for each column that makes up your composite key. If that's not what you meant, please clarify.
"...to create a DB including the constraints"
Not sure what you mean here. Constraints are enforced by the DB, and you don't create databases with EntityBeans.

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

Problem when creating Database with Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton

Problem when creating Database:
There are two problems, which I faced during creation of database. When creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
Problem # 1:
When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Problem # 2:
When creating database with custom option. The process of creating Database is 2 % complete and is at step # 2 Creating Database Files. It gives error ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Software & Hardware Configuration are as follow:
Software:
Database
Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 (Oracle8i)
Operating System
Microsoft Windows 2000
5.00.2195
Service Pack 2
Hardware:
x86 Family 6 Model 8 stepping

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your management needs a stern lecture on the concept of change management. <g>
I am not debating what you do. I am questioning the logic, or lack thereof, of doing it that way. My recommendation would be to change your procedure to one that:
A. Is more in line with good change management practices.
B. Works.

Unable to choose foreign key when creating reference partition

Hello
I have 2 foreign keys on a table. I am trying to choose the 2nd foreign key when creating a reference partition. I am unable to select the required foreign key.
The model has Table A -> Table B -> Table C. Table A has a list partition. Table B is the child of Table A. I created a reference partition on Table B. Table C is child of Table B. There are 2 FKs on table C. I am unable to choose the required FK to create reference partition on table C.
SQL Developer version - 3.0.0.665
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
The FK that can be selected is normally the oldest FK that was created for the Table.
So one option would be to delete and then recreate the FK that is selectable. This process may need to be repeated if there are several FKs that are "older" than the one you wish to use for Reference Partitioning.

Error when creating PO with reference to PR

Hello Expert,
When creating PO with reference to PR I encountered with one error i.e. system is taking into consideration one to one relation of PR line item to PO line item. For example: I have created PR with one line item for XYZ value and with reference to PR line item I am creating one PO but with two line items in PO that means I am splitting PR value into two line items in PO, 1st line item with zero tax and second one is with tax.
So there is one PR line item but in PO I am creating two line items with reference to single PR item. In this case system is giving error saying Item 001 WBS element XXXXXXXXXX budget exceeded. message no: BP604. However if I create single line item in PO then it wont give any error.
Please suggest any customization setting is done for such kind of behavior of the system.
Thanks
Shyam

Hi,
SAP creates the requisition with item category "U" even in case of cross-company (intercompany) purchase requisition.
When converting it to PO the item category becomes blank - as I tried and I got no error message.
Please check your settings under SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types (V_T161). You will see (if standard settings have not been changed) that NB requisition type with "U" item category is allowed for NB purchase order type with " " (empty) item category.

When creating my own form... is there a way to to link multiple drop down fields to other drop down fields?

when creating my own form... is there a way to to link multiple drop down fields to other drop down fields?

And in what program? You need to be more specific. Creating conditional forms is of course possible, but the procedures will depend on the actual program and target medium. HTML forms work differently from PDF...
