Processing multiple rows on submit

Hi,
I'm quite new to portal, and having problems creating a hotmail type dynamic-form.
ie.
A table based form with a check box on each row to mark which rows should be deleted from the database on submit.
The Idea would be to pass the ID's of all the checked rows to the form/procedure on submit.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Fred:-)

Hi,
You can do this using dynamic pages. Here is a sample code.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="<schema name>.submit_form" method="post">
<H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
<ORACLE>
begin
for c1 in (select * from scott.emp )
loop
htp.p(c1.empno);
htp.p(c1.ename);
htp.p(c1.deptno);
htp.p(c1.hiredate);
htp.p(c1.sal);
htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_empno" value='||c1.empno||'>');
htp.p('<input type="text" name="p_comm">');
htp.p('<input type="checkbox" name="p_cb">');
htp.p('<br>');
end loop;
htp.p('<input type="submit" name="p_action">');
end;
</ORACLE>
</BODY>
</FORM>
/HTML>
Code for the procedure submit_form
create or replace procedure submit_form
p_empno IN wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr,
p_comm IN wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr,
p_action IN VARCHAR2)
as
begin
for i in 1..p_empno.count loop
htp.p(p_empno(i));
     update scott.emp
     set comm = p_comm(i)
     where empno = p_empno(i);
     commit;
end loop;
exception
when others then
     null;
end;
grant execute on submit_form to public;
The above code creates multi record form with different. On submit of the form the submit_form is called.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to process multiple rows of data into a single string

Hello,
I am trying to process multiple rows of text from an Oracle database into one field to display on a report as continuous text. Below is sample data. The text field is 55 characters wide so anything longer is broken into multiple rows. I need to recombine it for display.
line          text
1             IN THE N.E. QUADRANT OF THE INTERSECTION OF THE FAIRFAX
2              COUNTY PARKWAY AND THE DULLES AIRPORT ACCESS AND THE T
3             OLL ROAD AND SOUTH OF SUNSET HILLS ROAD
I tried creating a formula field but it did not work, below is the code in Visual Basic syntax. I also tried using the Maximum() and UBound() functions without luck. I don't quite understand how to make the UBound() work; it threw a lot of errors.
Dim i As Number
Dim strLocDesc As String
For i = 1 To count({LDS_AR_RL_COMM.ART_LINE_NUM})
    strLocDesc = strLocDesc & {LDS_AR_RL_COMM.ART_COMM_RMK}(i)
Next i
formula = strLocDesc
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hello Allison,
You can try this:
Create a formula called @StoreText, place it in the details and have the following code in it:
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global StringVar Text1;
Global StringVar TextRest;
if {field.line} = 1 then
Text1:= {field.text} else
if {field.line} >= 2 then
TextRest := TextRest+" "+{field.text};
In the Group Footer you can have a formula called @GetStoreText with the following code in it:
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global StringVar Text1;
Global StringVar TextRest;
Text1+varTextRest;
See how that works out for you.

Zack

You can help : processing multiple rows in ejb

Hi How can i process multiple rows in an ejb. An entity bean represents one row but i need to retrieve all rows from DB Table. Can i do that? how ?
if we use session beans, we need each connection for each ejb. Is there a way to use one DB connection by all my beans?

Mr.Raja Sekhar, thanks for u r reply. my application

Csv file to rfc scenario..process multiple rows of csv

Hi Experts,
I have been trying a few tings but has nt worked so far.. this is my scenario..
There is a csv file with say 100 rows, even if one column is erroneous the interface halts and there r no updates in the z table..
I have used 1:n multi mapping ....any idea how i can proceed to satisfy the above scenario?

Hi,
This i feel to take care from the RFC side as the rfc functions looks like handling using transaction mechanisms..
which will commit only after successfully operations of all or rollback if anything in between fails...
by the way is the problem of record is with source data type itself or with in the PI ...?
or one thing you need to look is to execute the RFC for each record..which is not a performance efficient and not a good solution when you can pass all the records in a single call

Deleting Multiple Rows From Multiple Tables As an APEX Process

Hi There,
I'm interesting in hearing best practice approaches for deleting multiple rows from multiple tables from a single button click in an APEX application. I'm using 3.0.1.008
On my APEX page I have a Select list displaying all the Payments made and a user can view individual payments by selecting a Payment from the Select List (individual items are displayed below using Text Field (Disabled, saves state) items with a source of Database Column).
A Payment is to be deleted by selecting a custom image (Delete Payments Button) displayed in a Vertical Images List on the same page. The Target is set as the same page and I gave the Request a name of DELETEPAY.
What I tried to implement was creating a Conditional Process On Submit - After Computations and Validations that has a source of a PL/SQL anonymous block as follows:
BEGIN
UPDATE tblDebitNotes d
SET d.Paid = 0
WHERE 1=1
AND d.DebitNoteID = :P7_DEBITNOTEID;
INSERT INTO tblDeletedPayments
( PaymentID,
DebitNoteID,
Amount,
Date_A,
SupplierRef,
Description
VALUES
( :P7_PAYMENTID,
:P7_DEBITNOTEID,
:P7_PAID,
SYSDATE,
:P7_SUPPLIERREF,
:P7_DESCRIPTION
DELETE FROM tblPayments
WHERE 1=1
AND PaymentID = :P7_PAYMENTID;
END;
The Condition Type used was Request = Expression 1 where Expression 1 had a value of DELETEPAY
However this process is not doing anything!! Any insights greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Gary.

...the "button" is using a page level Target,...
I'm not sure what that means. If the target is specified in the definition of a list item, then clicking on the image will simply redirect to that URL. You must cause the page to be submitted instead, perhaps by making the URL a reference to the javaScript doSubmit function that is part of the standard library shipped with Application Express. Take a look at a Standard Tab on a sample application and see how it submits the page using doSubmit() and emulate that.

Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

Insert multiple rows in a table

Hello Apex expert,
I need help on insert multiple rows. it may look easy but I don't know how to do it.
I have a table (with name found_table) which has these fields: found_ item_id, item_name, current_location, cost_center, tag_number. Also, I have a table (with the name transition) which has these fields: transition_id, found_item_id (FK to found_table), from_location, to_location, From_cost_center, to_cost_center, tag_number.
I have an interactive report on found_table which I would like to add checkbox to all rows of the report. When the user checks any rows and press submit, I would like to send all these selected rows to another page which I have a form on transition table. The user will select a to_location and to_cost_center from this page (by the way from_location and from_cost_center and tag_number is the same as current_location and cost_center, tag_nuber from found_table, which I figured it out how to show those as a default in the new form). Now I want when a user selects the new location and cost center and press submit, all those selected rows be inserted in transition table with new locations.
I read several threads on forum, but I could not find a solution for my problem. I will appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Atousa

Hello again,
I created a report with check box. I also added two selected list at the top of the region to select the location and cost center. Also, there is a transfer button(as submit) to insert the new data to table. Now I need the insert process. I tried different insert process but none of them is working for me:(((
I created an example of what I need to do in the apex that you can take a look and give me some advise. The link is:
What I need to do is:
When a user selects several rows by using checkbox and selects To_LOCATION, and TO_COST_CENTER from selected list, and clicks on transfer, all the data should be insert in to another table with the name transition as follows:
from found table to transition table
found_item_id(pk) found_item_id (fk)
current_location from_location
cost_center from_cost_center
tag_number tag_number
selected list (to_location) to_location
selected list (to_cost_center) to_cost_center
Please help me on that. I appreciated.

How to insert multiple rows in same table at once

hi ,
How can I insert more than one row in the same database table on single submit button.
(i am using the ADF , EJB and Toplink for this example.)
EMPLOYEEand DEPARTMENT tables will hold a common coloum deptno
The method I have tried is as follows.
I have created the UI that holds EMPLOYEE(DETAIL) details and a DEPARTMENT(MASTER) table and I have created two separate bean classes which hold the getters and setters for the corresponding tables.
I have created a method in Department bean which will be called when we add the employee details
public String addEmpdetails() {
this.employeedetailslist.add(empdetails);
return null;
where employeedetailslist is a Arraylist and I want to pass the reference of employeebean in the array list.
But this method will fail as I need to create the new employee bean object every time when ever I need to pass.
How can I store values of multiple rows in bean.
In the EJB session bean how can I commit multiple EMPLOYEE rows and DEPARTMENT values at once.

The use of &variable in a script is actually syntax for a "substitution variable" in the SQL*Plus tool (other tools may also do the same), not an inherent part of SQL or PL/SQL itself.
Whenever SQL*Plus is given a script it parses through it and if it encounters one of these it prompts for a value. This value is then substituted into the script before the script actually get's sent to the SQL or PL/SQL engine (process) on the database server. Once the script has gone to the database server it executes there and the results are passed back for SQL*Plus to display. However, the SQL and PL/SQL processes on the database server have no way to interface to the client machine, so they themselves cannot prompt for input from the client and you can't expect to prompt inside a loop as you are doing.
What you need is a user interface on the client that can prompt repeatedly for values and then re-send the script, or call a procedure on the database each time. This can be done using shell scripts or dos batch files (depending on your client being unix/dos based) or using a front end application tool such as Java, .NET, Powerbuilder, PHP, Application Express (APEX) etc.

Multiple Row selection in JSP using checkbox - Oracle BPM 10gR3

Dear BPM Experts,
Has anyone invoked JSP from Oracle BPM 10gR3 screen flow that has the following UI requirement.
1. When UI is loaded user is presented with multiple rows of pre-populated data(each column of the row represents attributes of a BPM object) with checkbox against each of the rows for user to select one, many and all rows.
2. User has option to select one, many and all rows and submit the form.
3. Upon submission, the all data related to selected rows only should made available to a BPM process(either using Global Creation or Global Interactive activity)
I was able to have the JSP created with FTL tags but unable to transmit the data back to BPM process. Same has been accomplished using BPM Presentation. Can any one please help me with the JSP implementation? It is little urgent, so your early intervention is much solicited and coveted.
I will send you guys the code I have in case you need to review.

Hi friends
I need to do the same feature, select elements, but in a tree object. I've followed the same approach - using a selectBooleanCheckBox in each node of the Tree. But, when I submit the page, the boolean property of my TreeNode object isnt changed.
An Idea?
thanks a lot!

Deleting multiple rows in a report ?

db11gxe , apex 4.0 , firefox 24 ,
how to delete multiple rows in a report at one time ?
thanks

Hi newbi_egy,
Here is a small demo with few steps that can be used in your scenario-
1) Below is the query of a report on emp table which has empno column with unique values-
SELECT APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,empno) " ", ename, job FROM emp ORDER by 1
2) A Delete button is created that submits the page.
3) An on-submit process is created with Process point On Submit - After Computation and Validations with condition that the below process runs when Delete button clicked.
BEGIN
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
LOOP
delete from emp where empno=APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
END LOOP;
END;
I hope this might help you.

Query for Multiple Rows as XML

Ok I've seen this topic in the forums, but have failed to get this to work within my process. Basically I have a process that has a user fill out a form, and upon submittal the form writes it's information to a database (via a data connection within the form that invokes a separate process upon submittal.), once this is done the main process is invoked and it's first step is to query that same database and bring back the data in a lower (now exposed) portion of the form that contains certain fields that track the issue history. The query brings back the xml document and I store it in an xml variable (xml_output). I then take this information and use the Set Value object to assign the returned nodes values to the location fields in the form. This works if the query returns only one row. But once the form is moved beyond the initial Task Assignment, (first user), and query returns more than just one row, the added nodes to not show up on the form, i.e I still just get information about the first row in my form. From what I've read the form should be able to recognize the xpath expression, and bring back all the nodes, by in a sense using instance manager to create an instance for each node on the form. My question is how can I get this to work. Jasmin if your still out there... Help!
Also We're using Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.0
created the process using Workbench
the form was reader enabled and saved as a dynamic PDF.
Thanks
Mike

Ok have done the binding of the schema to the form, and I'm getting the information to flow as it's supposed to. The problem I'm having now, (I know I'm having a bunch.) is that once I've placed the form into my process, and I use the set value operation to pre-fill information I get the form to flow, but the rest of the information that was previously filled in is blank. So I have checked the variable and nothing wrong there. It appears the problem is how I'm using the set value operation. If I don't use the set value operation, the form retains it's information. And if I use the set value by trying to set the subform value, the form retains it's information, but no pre-fill. I'm going to try to be a little more detailed here. The xml that is returned looks like this:
        0016-03-30

        alone in the dark
        Type sleep

        Council
        FYI
        Important
Flowed and positioned are actual subforms on the form that have their properties set as their names indicates. The entire path is /form1/Page1/flowed/positioned . The way I was able to get the form to flow correctly upon the injection of this xml data, was to bind the subforms in the form in this manner, positioned[*]. Designer didn't place the [*] for me so I had to do this myself. But once I previewed the document, the form pre-populated and created the necessary number of subforms and placed information into the fields correctly.
Now on the process side, I have created an xfaform variable that stores the form (bound to xsd.) information, and another xml variable that stores the query return that looks like the xml listed above (has an xsd associated with it for navigating xpath). My first operation performs the query (JDBC- Query Multiple Rows as XML) and stores it into the xml variable. The next step of the process is the Set Value operation which is supposed to inject the xml data retrieved from the query into the form. Initially I tried the an xpath similar to the following:
/process_data/object/data/form1/page1/flowed/positioned = /xml_data/flowed/positioned.
No dice. On this one the form retains the information filled out by the user (didn't explain this earlier, the form is filled out first, and upon submittal the process starts.), but doesn't pre-populate the bottom part of the form. Next I tried the following xpath:
/process_data/object/data/form1/page1/flowed = /xml_data/flowed/positioned.
This time it retained the form information which was filed in by the user, but the bottom part is becomes hidden! Didn't understand this. But I started to kinda think that I had to navigate he xpath in order to correctly inject the xml into the form. That being said my next attempt was:
/process_data/object/data/form1/page1 = /xml_data
My thinking was that if on location, I stop at page1, the xml in the variable will allow it to navigate correctly through the form. Well it worked, but too well. The top part of the form is blank, but the bottom portion is pre-populated correctly. Now I'm stuck. Not sure how to get the rest of the information in the form. I thought about creating variables form each of the fields and then re-populating them after the injection of xml, but that didn't seem practical. I'm almost positive it's something I'm not doing correctly with xpath. Anyway, thanks for all your help on this.

The simplest way for plsql procedure to return multiple rows

Hi,
What is the simplest way for plsql procedure to return multiple rows (records). There are many combination of ways to do it but I am looking for a solution that is appropriate for plsql beginners. Many solutions use cursors, cursor variables, collections and more that kind of things that are complex on the face of it. Is it somehow possible to achieve the same with less effort?
Sample query would be: SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;
I want to use returned rows in APEX to compose APEX SQL(in that context plsql) report.
It is enough to use just SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES query in APEX but I want to use plsql procedure for that.
Thank you!

Hi,
It depends :-).
With +...that is appropriate for plsql beginners...+ in mind... it still depends!
The list of techniques (ref cursors, cursor variables, collections, arrays, using explict SQL) you have referenced in your post can be made to work. but...
+Is it somehow possible to achieve the same with less effort?+ Less effort : That needs to be defined (measured). Especially in the context of pl/sql beginners (who is a beginner?) .
What is the level of "programming experience" ?
What is the level of understanding of "Relational Result set" as processible in Oracle?
If you are looking for
Process_the_set_of rows_in APEX () kind of capabilitywhich "abstracts/hides" relation database from developers when working on relation database, it may not be the best approach (at least strategically). Because I believe it already is abstracted enough.
I find REF CUROSOR most effective for such use, when the "begginer" has basic understanding of processing SQL result set .
So in a nut shell, the techniques (that you already are familiar with) are the tools available. I am not aware of any alternative tools (in pure Oracle) that will simplify / hide basics from develpers.

Query multiple rows

Hi, need some help on XML and XSD.
say I have a table in the database with 3 columns: a, b, c
on my XDP form, I have a table, like a spreadsheet, with 3 columns too: x, y, z
and it has 10 rows.
I want to pre-fill the form with 10 rows of data,
so, in my Process's action profile,
I use JDBC's query multiple rows to get the first 10 records of my database table.
how do I put these 10 rows of data into the table on my form?
TIA for helping me.
Happy New Year!

Step1: Use SQL Query Multiple results as XML activity
Step2: Define the output of SQL activity to look similar to
<table>
    <row>row1 value</row>
    <row>row2 value</row>
    <row>row3 value</row>
    <row>row4 value</row>
    <row>row5 value</row>
    <row>row6 value</row>
    <row>row7 value</row>
    <row>row8 value</row>
    <row>row9 value</row>
    <row>row10 value</row>
</table>
Step3: arrange your forms fields (Table and rows) in the same way as mentioned above.

How to get multiple rows from database table?

hello !
I need to get multiple rows from a OLEDB database table and display them on a table object.
I did "Wrap in subfrom" on the table, set subform of the table to "flowed", and checked "Repeat row for each data item" of Row1 of the table.
But I can get only one row on the table object.
I need your help.
Thanks

Hi,
best practices when deleting multiple rows is to do this on the business service, not the view layer for performance reasons. When you selected the rows to delete and press submit, then in a managed bean you access thetable instance (put a reference to a managed bean from the table "binding" property") and call getSeletedRowKeys. In JDeveloper 11g, ADF Faces returns the RowKeySet as a Set of List, where each list conatins the server side row key (e.g. oracle.jbo.Key) if you use ADF BC. Then you create a List (ArrayList) with this keys in it and call a method exposed on the business service (through a method activity in ADF) and pass the list as an argument. On the server side you then access the View Object that holds the data and find the row to delte by the keys in the list
Example 134 here: http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#134 provides you with the code

Merging multiple rows in to a single row (when rows meet merging criteria)

Hi
I have a scenario to merge multiple rows in to a single rows when the data in those rows fall in merge criteria .Below is how my data is
Now the merging logic for the above rows is , we need to combine multiple rows in to a single row when the data in those rows permits us to do in that way. Simply saying , its like sandwich where we combine multiple things to a single piece.The output for
the above rows should be
Here we combined Row 1 ,2, 3 in to a single row as the data in those rows permits to merge in to single row. But the row 4 cannot be combined to any of those rows because the data in those rows doesn't permits us do a merge ( As the value of the column
JobSource for the row 4 is different from the other rows ) .
My original data has 56 columns , but for readability i kept only 9 columns.
can you please throw some idea on how to achieve this scenario. I know we need to use CTE for achieving this, but i am not able succeed in doing an iteration on multiple rows.
Appreciate your response .

Thanks for your reply .
Rule for merging is simple . First of all there is no unique row identifier for each row , the fact table is not having an identity column in the database . I called row 1 , row 2 etc in my post above only to make better explanation of my scenario.
The rule for merge is below.
1) we can combine only when the data in a column for one row is null & the data in same column for the other row is not null . It should also satisfy the condition where the data in other columns should conflict each other.
2) Data for all columns for the merging rows should not be conflicting (i.e. we should not merge the rows when the data in a column is not equal to the same column in the other row
,considering not null value)
Steps in merging the above source data :
1) Consider the case of row 1 and row 2 in the source, we can combine these rows as the data is satisfying the rule 1 for columns (Jobsource,Flight, Package,Update,Iscancelled
,Result, Severity) and columns (JobID and RuleName ) fall under rule 2. we merge these two rows in to a single row and keep in that in the table.
2) Then the resulting row is again merged with the second row which is present above by applying the rule 1 and rule 2 . Below would be output of merge operation.
Now there would be only two rows in the output . But these rows cannot be merged as the data doesn't satisfy the merge rules 2 . As Jobsource for the row 1 in the above output is "PresubmissionSource" which is not equal
to "PostSubmission" jobSource which is in row 2. So these two rows are left unmerged .So the above two rows would be the output of merge operation on my source data.
This process has to be repeated for all the rows in the table. As of now my table as 92 Million rows with 56 columns which need to be considered for merging rows. I replicated my scenario in 9 columns and 4 rows to understand better.
