Programmatically Changing Form Attribute on PDFForm

I have a PDFForm where a subform can be visible or not visible based on data elements. For example, the subform contains financial information and we don't want that section visible if being viewed by customer whereas we want it to be displayed if being viewed by the employee.
Is there a way to do this programmatically using same form? The only way I was thinking it would be possible is to take the PDFForm get the XDP, perform XML manipulation on it and then regernate the PDFForm (but it just seems like this is a lot of work and so looking to see if there is a better way)
Thanks

How do I programmatically change waveform attributes?

Hello,
I am using the Formula VI to calculate a power level based upon measured values of voltage and current, both of which are dynamic data. The result has the name "(Formula Result)". I'd like to be able to change the name attribute to "Power", but I can't see how to do so.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is one idea. Create a subVI that all it does is take the dynamic data wire in and passes it right back out. In the subVI change the name of the indicator that the output connector is associated with to "Power".
Now when the signal passes through, the wire will be known as the name of the indicator in the subVI rather than the name "Result".
There may be a better way of doing this, but Dynamic Datatypes are difficult to really know what is going on behind the scenes, so I don't work with them much.

How to change the attribut of Form in Review Form in ISR

Hi,
We have to change the attributes of text fields of form ( e.g disabling the text field ) once user hits the Review Form button on MSS page
Please let me know how to do it .
Thanks
Manish

Hi Manish,
You may write the Formcalc scripting for the respective field.
//Check ISR control parameters for read/write access
if($record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE == "DISPLAY" |
   $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_FORM_VIEW =="ISR_APPROVE" | <b>$record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_REVIEW == "true" )</b>
then
     this.access = "readOnly"
else
     this.access = ""
endif
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,

Changing form field attributes to multiple fields simultaneously

We have to edit a grid of, say, 10 rows by 10 columns. Every column must be of the same type (date, amount, phone number, etc.) and yet I have to change 100 attributes, one at a time. Multiply that times lots of forms.
Currently, only the justification and a few attributes can be multiply edited.
-Ramon

From what I can see, InfoPath doesn't seem to fit what I need. Is there a way to edit the default edit form or the DataFormWebPart to change a 'Single Line of Text' Field to be a 'Multiple Lines of Text' field?
I appreciate the help,

Programmatically changing a form

I'm creating an application that has multiple forms. Most of these forms are identical except the title's of some of the boilerplates. How can I programmatically change the text of a text boilerplate? If that isn't possible, how could I go about accomplishing what I need. I tried display fields with no bevel and assigning the values but when I clear_form it clears those also. I could always write the code to save those labels just prior to a clear_form and immediately set them again, but I'm looking for an easier (less time consuming) solution.
Thanks

Do not use the boilerplate text for the labels, instead you can use the display Items, if the prompts are constantly changing or multi language application, The usage of Display Items is feasible. You can create all the prompts (display items) in one block and they will be accessed when you navigate to that block and you can change the prompts as you needed programatically.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

How to change report attributes like heading, sort etc programmatically

Some of the columns from a classic reports using pl/sql as region source should be sortable. Is it possible to change this attribute (sort = yes) using JavaScript or APEX API?

Edited by: david on Sep 6, 2011 11:56 PM

There is something I don't understand here. Why do you need to point at the sxd? What is changing? Like I mentioned before. If the contents of the xsd change, all the report will do is - at best - drop the changed fields so you will be missing data. Perhaps some of the following will help;

Programmatic changes to textbox values won't stick...

Using BC4J I have created textboxes that are bound to the Oracle backend. When data is entered or edited manually the app sees the change and activates the save and rollback arrow icons.
Code behind my buttons can change the data in the bound textboxes but the changes don't cause the save and rollback icons to activate. If any controls on the page are then manually edited the programmatic changes disappear. I know this is because the mSomeAttribute.setText("somevalue") isn't connecting to the bound data sets (rowset ?) but I have been unable to find where/how to access such bindings.
I can see the in the *RowImpl.java methods the get<someattribute>() and set<SomeAttribute>() functions, but I am not able to access these 'accessors' in in the Form java script, only the constants that reflect the field nnumber for the attributes.
So, how do I connect programmatically to the attributes in a way that the modified data is seen by the bindings?

You want to change the value in the view-row, not in the text box.
Certainly one way to get access to this (all from memory, so the method names might be slightly out) is to get the application module from the panelBinding and then find the view from the application module and then get the current row from the view. Er, i.e.
Row row = panelBinding.getApplicationModule().findViewObject("the-name-of-the-view-to-which-you-bound-the-control").getCurrentRow();
Then you can use the set / get methods you spoke about. (Strictly speaking, from the client-tier you should generally be using the Row interface rather than the RowImpl class.)
However, I wonder whether a more encapsulated way of getting access to the view-row is to start with the control and get the row via some ControlBinding or other. Only I'd have to dig around myself to work out how to do that so I'll leave it to someone else....

Need urgent help on how to compare the user profile and process form attributes

Hi All,
We have a requirement where after editing the user profile attributes we have to compare the currently modified user profile attributes and the existing
process form attributes and based on the differences we have to update the process form accordingly.
We have around 80 attributes so we cannot follow the procedure where
we update the lookup process_triggers
and add the "change attribute" task
and "update attribute" taskin the process definition
because it creates aroung 160 tasks in process definition. So we are doing it by writing a custom code. Is there any other simple way to do it or any API"s which can help us.
Need very quick help.Thanks in advance.

Changing visual attribute in Enter Query mode

Hello, I want to change visual attribute of all items in the first record when the user presses button for Enter_Query. I want that the user sees that the form is in enter query mode and it "waits" for the input of criteria. My code (copied from Help and modified) in trigger WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED:
DECLARE
cur_itm VARCHAR2(80);
cur_block VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
ENTER_QUERY;
cur_block := :System.Cursor_Block;
cur_itm := Get_Block_Property( cur_block, FIRST_ITEM );
WHILE ( cur_itm IS NOT NULL ) LOOP
cur_itm := cur_block||'.'||cur_itm;
Set_Item_Instance_Property( cur_itm, CURRENT_RECORD, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'yellow');
cur_itm := Get_Item_Property( cur_itm, NEXTITEM );
END LOOP;
END;
where yellow is the name of my visual attribute.
The problem is that I need to press the button TWICE to color the record.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Natasa

(Wrong forum).
The problem is that enter_query stops executing your procedure until
another action ist started by the user.
You must create a short-time timer before issuing enter_query and set
your colour scheme in the when-timer-expired-trigger.

Programmatically Change Array to Cluster Size

Hello,
I have a Chart with several values scrolling across it. The number of
values is variable. To prepare the data for the Chart, I use the Array to
Cluster element. Is there a way I can programmatically change the size of
the cluster output?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
As far as I know, you cannot programatically chage the size of the cluster output in the Array to Cluster vi. However, you may not need to convert to a cluster for charting. The chart will take a 2D array and plot mutiple lines. See the attached example which uses Reshape Array to form the data for a chart.
The only hitch is that it erases the plot when you change the number of values to plot. This may or may not be important to you.

Change form layout by User's Manager

Hi all,
1. I need change forms of provisioning e management for User's Manager/Administrator of Resource view only resources management by him.
Eg.
If Admin1 access User1 profile and go to resource profile, I need show only resources that he is Administrator.
2. Are the some way to filter the resource profile by User's Manager/Administrator of Resource?
Eg.
In the User1 profile, Admin1 view information A/B/C (roles of resource) on the attribute profile(combobox/lookup) and Admin2 view only information B/C/D.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos

Sorry, i have no idea. I would suggest you create an SR in metalink.oracle.com if you have purchased oracle support to find out what the variable is for.

How to change the attribute name for a relation

When the Data Modeler engineers a logical model into a relational model it create table columns for the relations. The names of the generated columns are listed in the attributes list in the properties dialog of the relation. The actual name of the attribute gets calculated by the attribute name of the entity which is part of the relation. This is okay, if there is only one relation between two entities. But when there are two relations between two entities the second attribute gets a stupid number suffix. This makes it impossible to give the attribute a useful semantic meaning.
When I engineer the model into a relational model I can change the column name in the relational model. Changing the column name in the relational model is not perfect but it would be okay for me, if it would not be overwritten during the next engineering run.
So I have two questions:
How can I change the attribute name in the attributes section of the properties dialog of a relation? See here for screen shot:
http://public.ceving.de/2012050300/relationattribute.png
And if it is not possible:
How can I preserve any changes on column names in the relational model during a re-engineering run?
Edited by: 931739 on 03.05.2012 08:07

Hi,
I've logged an Enhancement request on this.
I don't believe it's possible to change it from the Entity or Relationship dialog, as it's not updatable in these dialogs.
What you can do is change it in the Relational Model, and then reverse engineer the change back to the Logical Model.

VA01 ATP incorrecct results when delivery date is programmatically changed

Hi Guru's,
When creating or modifying a sales order (VA01 & VA02), we need to programmatically assign the delivery date a) for certain customers or b) when the delivery priority is changed from downs to regular order and visa-versa. For examples: 1) user enters a delivery date 02/01/2012, the program (userexit_check_vbep) will automatically replace it with a calculated
date (i.e.. 2/20/2012). 2) if user changes the delivery priority from regular order to a downs order, the program will automatically replace delivery date to current date.
But are getting incorrect ATP results when requested delivery date (based on what user enters in VBAP-LPRIO "delivery priority") is programmatically changed and then user manually enters the date and run ATP (see steps 8 & 9 below).
VA01 execution steps:
1) Used VA01 and entered a material of quantity 1, requested date 2/01/2012, delivery priority = regular. Date was overwritten automatically with program calculated date 2/20/2012 as expected.
2) ATP automatically ran successfully for the initial entry.
3) I then changed the delivery priority from regular order to downs order & requested delivery date was automatically changed to current date 02/01/2012 as expected.
4) ran ATP manually and all is well.
5) I then changed the delivery priority back to a regular order and date was automatically changed back to 02/20/2012 as expected.
6) I ran ATP manually and again all is well.
7) I then manually changed the delivery date 02/25/2012.
Incorrect / bad results:
8) ATP then passed back 2 sub-items lines with the quantity of 1 each. The quantity on the main line item is doubled to 2.
9) I then tried to delete the main line item manually to start all over, but the transaction just hangs because it tries to go to ATP, but cannot resolve what to delete.
Do you have any suggestions to help resolve this?
The following SAP user-exits were modified:
a) MV45AFZB
1) userexit_check_vbap
- for certain customers (a custom "override days" field stored in VBAP is populated), delivery date is automatically calculated using this field (i.e. current date + override days).   If user entered date < calculated date,   calculated date is used (xvbep-edatu).
- If user changes delivery priority, xvbep-edatu will be set automatically to either the calculated date (regular order) or current date (downs order).
2) userexit_check_vbep : if user enters a delivery date (vbep-edatu), it is checked against calculated delivery date & overwritten, if it is < calculated date.
b) MV45AFZZ - userexit_move_field_to_vbap :
- override days is determined & delivery date is automatically calculated. If user entered date < calculated date, calculated date is used (xvbep-edatu).
- If user changes delivery priority, xvbep-edatu will be set automatically to either the calculated date (reg.order) or current date (downs order)
Reason for updating xvbep: if only vbap-lprio or vbap-override (custom field) fields are changed, the VBEP user exit routines (userexit_move_field_to vbep or userexit_check_vbep) do not run. Change to xvbep does trigger userexit_check_vbep.
Please advise.
Joe

This is not an SD question and should be moved to ABAP forum. It seems to me that the issue is not with incorrect ATP but with the subitems / main item updated incorrectly. This needs to be resolved by a developer who wrote the user exit. Most likely either a user exit is triggered when not expected or a wrong line updated, etc. Debugger should be helpful.
Also instead of setting delivery priority, why can't the users just change the delivery date to current date? This seems just as easy to me...

How to change the attributes of GUI CONTROLS in my own program.

hi all,
i just want to change the attributes of GUI CONTROLS in my own program.
for example `
How to set an ICON on my GUI BUTTON in the program?
so what's the mapping between CONTROL in the SCREEN PAINTER and variable in the program?

Hi Chao Liu,
Ya , u first find out the PF-STATUS of the screen and goto that status and now u can modify the ICON u want .
Finding the GUI status of the screen
Goto that TRANSACTION CODE or SCREEN
On the Standard Menu bar Goto ( Menu path) System --> Status
Now u get a pop-up System :status in that in SAP Data block u can find GUI Status. Now Double Click on that Status. It takes u to the Status of that screen.
Now click on the Display --> Change Button on the application tool bar.
If it is a standard GUI-status then it asks for the ACCESS KEY.
if it is a custom defined GUI Status then u can change the status .

How to programmatically change the cell color of an ADF table ?

Hi all,
I have an ADF table with some fields on it. Depending on the value of a field named, say, "F1", I would like to change its background color.
So far I can change the field color with this EL expression inside the InlineStyle table column property:
font-size:medium; background-color:#{viewScope.myBean.setColor};
where setColor is a bean function, in where I access the field "F1" via binding, parse its value, and return the right value - so far, so good.
The bad thing is, the InlineStyle affects that field in all the rows of the table, while I would like to change only the field in the rows, which have that specific value in it.
So for example having the rows:
F1
abc#1 ----> currently selected row
cde#2
efg#3
I want to change the background color to all the F1 fields which have a "1" after the '#' and let the other "F1" row cells background color stay unchanged.
But as you can imagine, the InlineStyle affect the "F1" background color in all the rows (assuming that the first row of the table is selected).
So the question: how to access a single cell of a row in an ADF table, and programmatically change its background color ?
So far I can iterate through the ADF table with:
BindingContext bindingctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
BindingContainer bindings = bindingctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCBindingContainer bindingsImpl = (DCBindingContainer) bindings;
DCIteratorBinding dciter = bindingsImpl.findIteratorBinding("aTableIterator");//access the iterator by its ID value in the PageDef file
RowSetIterator rsi = dciter.getRowSetIterator();
System.out.println("rsi getrowcount = " rsi.getRowCount());+
Row row = null;
+if (rsi.getRowCount() > 0) {+
row = rsi.getCurrentRow();
System.out.println("row attr = " Arrays.toString(row.getAttributeNames()));+
System.out.println("class : " row.getAttribute("F1").getClass().toString());+
+}+
+while (rsi.hasNext()) {+
row = rsi.next();
System.out.println("row attr = " Arrays.toString(row.getAttributeNames()));+
+}+
Regards,
Sergio.

Hi,
I mean a specific cell within a row.
Here are two pictures that show an ADF table with two rows and some fields on it:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=7D3084D8BF755808&id=7D3084D8BF755808!107&sc=documents#cid=7D3084D8BF755808&id=7D3084D8BF755808!107&sc=documents
bild_A is what I have, bild_B is what I would like. Note that:
in bild_A the first row contain a yellow background color for the field F4 and an orange background color for the field F5. This is correct, because F4 has an "1" at the end of its string value, and F5 has a "3" at the end. So far so good.
But the second row (again, bild_A) has also the fields F4 with yellow background color, and the field F5 with orange background color, even if the value in both fields is 0.
What is should be, is shown in bild_B.
The problem is that the solution provided affects all the cells of the column, while I need to change the background color of a single cell, and leave the other unchanged (see bild_B).
I hope that clarify a bit :)
Sergio.
