What exactly is not working? Is your Stacked Canvas just not being displayed? If so, most likely it is because you are hiding your content canvas.
hide_view('content canvas');Understand, a Stacked Canvas by definition can only be displayed on a Content Canvas. If you hide the Content Canvas, you will also hide any Stacked Canvas assigned to the Content Canvas.
When you created the stacked canvas did you create it in the Object Navigator or did you click on the Stacked Canvas toolbar button in the Canvas Editor and draw the stacked canvas on your content canvas (this is the prefered method)?

Stacked canvases - best settings for Visible / Raise on Entry

Hello,
I'm currently migrating a Forms 6i client-server application to 10.1.2.0.2 WebForms. I'm familiar with the advice that, to minimise network traffic, tabbed canvases should be changed to use stacked canvases with Visible=No, Raise On Entry=Yes. That way, tabs other than the first one don't get loaded into memory unless you actually go to them.
My question is - does this apply to stacked canvases in general? I have a number of forms with quite a few stacked canvases that get called up depending on user actions; the code calls up the canvas by doing a Go_Item. These stacked canvases are generally all set to Raise On Entry=Yes, but Visible=Yes. Would setting Visible to No give me a performance improvement? (I know, it depends on the application, but in general...) If I do set Visible to No, would I have to add code to change Visible back to Yes when the application goes to an item on the canvas, or will that be handled automatically by Raise On Entry..?
Thanks in advance,
James

Hi Gerd,
Thanks for replying. So when you say 'HIDE=Yes', I presume you mean the 'Visible' property on the Canvas? (Looking in my Forms Builder, there's no 'hide' property on canvases - unless I'm being really dim...)
I do have some fairly large forms with a lot (> 8) stacked canvases, so I may need to consider changing those to hidden - although if it involves extra coding, I might wait to see how performance looks once the application is fully up and running. The tab canvases I have tend to be fairly simple so I'll leave those alone.
I'd be really interested to hear of anyone else's experiences of how multiple canvases affects performance.

Difference between service entry sheet and goods receipt?

Hi all,
What is difference between service entry sheet and goods receipt?
Thanks!

Hi,
**Service Entry Sheet:: It** is only for Indirect material (or ) services
In the service p.o you have to Give the G/L account in the P.O
It is one form of Goods Receipts for all the service related P.O what you are raising.
For Example:
1 Service charges for cleaning A/c- Rs 100/Hr.
P.O can be raised for 200 hr. when the service is completed say for 2 hrs. You can raise service entry sheet for 2 hrs and the vendor gets payment of Rs 200.
Goods Receipts: For Direct material procurement only .
G/L account is determined based on OBYC setting.

How can i show multiple windows on start?

Hi everybody:
I have an application that need to show 5 windows at the same
time when the application is started. The 5 windows are seen but
the canvas is not shown, so, i see 5 windows with no elements. I
have tried with SHOW_WINDOW built in, but it only shows the
window, not the canvas. If i use the GO_ITEM built in, in one
item from each block i can only see the last block visited.
Is there any property that i must change in canvases? (the
raise on entry is in "yes"); i have to do anything else?
Thanks.

Windows have a property called "Primary Canvas". This sets what
canvas should be shown in a window by default.
Typically Forms knows what to display because the cursor is in
an item, the item is on a canvas, the canvas is required to set
its Window...you see the window with everything in it.
The window property primary canvas for when you do a show_window
and do not navigate to anything in the window.

GL account deletion from Sales Order Condition record

Hi,
Please experts guide me on this! what do i have to do and where to look for it.
The GL account 200000 , 1200001 , 00002 are all directly mapped to sales order in the condition record. When a sales order is raised the entry are directly posted in this accounts which further hits the Profit & Loss Account.
1) The said 3 GL accounts are to be discontinued from condition record in sales order
2) The entry which are till date recorded in the said accounts needs to be reversed. There are some manual entry also made by the user which are correct, only the entry which have happened due to automatic posting needs to be deleted
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
Please make the necessary changes in the pricing procedure for those condition types. I am not sure what you mean by condition record.
Check under Basic Function for Accoutn assignment & make the necessary changes to the GL accounts determination/ assignment.

Disappearing Canvases Any Ideas?

On my form the screen is split into two canvases, one contains system information (basically two text fields) this canvas (stacked) is displayed on every form in the system.
The main part of the screen is a content canvas which holds the tree view and other items. When I click on the tree view (and only when I click on the tree view) the stacked canvas disappears for no apparent reason. Any ideas why this could be happening?
I can click anywhere else on the content canvas and nothing happens but as soon as my mouse is clicked within the tree view my stacked canvas disappears. Any ideas?

I have placed a trigger - WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK - on the
tree within it has the code:
-- Heading canvas disappears - currently
unexplainable
DECLARE
     v_id ViewPort;
BEGIN
--     v_id := Find_View('Heading');
--     Set_View_Property(v_id, VISIBLE, PROPERTY_TRUE);
--     Show_View(v_id);
     show_view('heading');
END;
I tried both methods hence the commented out code.
This trigger was added to try and solve the problem
of the canvas disappearing, hence doesn't affect it
being displayed.
Even if I remove the trigger the canvas still
disappears.
Any further ideas?Remove all codes with show_view, hide_view in your form.
Set raise-on-entry property to N of both canvases.
Add
show_view('name of content canvas');
show_view('name of stack canvas');
in when-new-form-instance trigger.

Document Number ranges

Dear All,
Pls help me to solve the issue reg document number ranges.
We have defiend the document number ranged for two company codes. Now ths issue is.. this document number range is being used/shared by both the company codes. For ex.. Invoice 01, 02 and 03 is posted in the company code A and we have not posted any Invoice in the Company Code B. If we post the Invoice in the Company Code B, number for the Invoice will be 04. And the next invoice in the Company Code A will be 05. But i will required to change the configuration to split the document number ranges..
Pls help me to do so.
Thank you

Hi,
This thing is obvious if the document number is being shared by more than one company code then it will act the following way...
for example :- Company code "A" is assigned with document number 01 and if you raise an entry it will take the range from 01...like document number generated will be 0000001
Company code "B" assigned with the same document number range 01 the next entry will create the next available number that is ....0000002
This happens b'cz its being shared by both the company codes.
Hence you have to keep seperate document number range for both the company code to avoid this confusion.
Please assign points.
Zia.

Content Canvas not displaying when form entered

I have a form that has not been updated since 2009. Some time between then and now the key block has stopped displaying when the form is entered. I can get it to display if I do the previous item key. I have tried setting the Raise on Entry to Yes but that did not work. Any thoughts on what might be the issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

The KEY_BLOCK has 2 navigable fields and a display only field. When I bring up the form, the tabular block is showing but the Key_Block is not. I navigate backwards into the last field in the key_block and that is when the block becomes visible. It does not stay visible at all times after I see it for the first time. I have not mapped out the exact circumstances where it disappears again. This seems to have become a problem after we moved to 11g. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

CHANGE THE GROUP FOR VENDOR

Hello Sir,
I have already create business partner for OTHERS group and also I mention Account Payable as Creditors for OTHERS.
Now I have to change these control account into Creditor for Fixed Asset account.
For Example In Creditors for Others account we have Rs. 1000/-
If I change the account as creditors for Fixed Asset, how can I get these 1000/- in the fixed asset account?
Regards
Pushpa Damodaran

Hi Pushpa........
I think you have to reverse that entry for 1000/- under Other Group so that it gets settled and raise standalone entry for correct Control Account.
For that you have to keep on swapping of Control account at BP Level while doing this exercise........

Call_form showing webutil_canvas [solved]

I'm converting from 6i to 10g. Our menu form calls a customer form which performs a call_form in the post_query trigger. When this third form opens it also opens the webutil_canvas.
What's wrong?

Yes it is. WebUtil will be used in many, if not most, of the forms.
The WebUtil_canvas doesn't show when the customer form opens, only upon opening the third.
We have a system analogous to Oracle Applications. A menu form that calls other forms which may in turn call others.
Is there a way to "shut off" the WebUtil_Canvas? I've tried setting raise-on-entry property to "No", but that didn't seem to fix the issue.
Suggestions are appreciated.

Application Deployement Problem on AS

i like to know that is there any problem regarding
deployment on AS (application server), if we have only
one form modeule and one content canvas with different
stack canvasas on it.
is there any standarad that form must have menu to
deployee on AS WITH ON LINUX operating system or on
windows
Some one has told me that it is not standard to have
multiple stack canvasas on content canvasas.
as far as me conceren there is no problem in that as
that application is working fine on my windows network
based enviorment using instance of OCJ4
i will appricate this also be happy to hear from ur
side on this matter as i have almost compeleted my
project
thanks and best regards

Inam,
there is no problem of having stacked canvases on content canvases. In fact a stacked canvas helps to improve start-up performance if "raise-on-entry" property is set to yes and "visible" is set to no. This way teh stacked canvas doesn't need to be initialized when the Forms application starts. There is a recommendation to not overuse tab canvases on teh Web but instead use stacked canvases

Question about stacked canvas disappearing

Hi,
I have a block which has some database items and non-database items. Since
there are many items in the block, I use a stacked canvas with horizontal bar
to display the less important items.
In the trigger of new-block-instance, show_view('stacked_canvas')
But I face one problem. When I click on a non-database item and then move
the cursor away from the item, the stacked canvas suddenly disappears.
Any idea ?
Many thanks in advance

Imagine each canvas as a piece of paper stacked on a desk. Each piece of paper possibly has a different size and the top left corner of each piece is possible oriented in a different spot. When you say show_view('stacked_canvas') its like reaching to the bottom of the pile and putting that canvas top. When you click on an item not on the stacked canvas that items canvas is placed on top. Your problem is that your non-database item content canvas is covering up the stacked canvas. I think...
Your issue could be solved by simply rearranging the canvas order by putting the stacked canvas last (I think) in the object navigator.
Raise on Entry could also be causing your issue. Go to the help. Click the search tab. Type "raise on entry". Read "Working with the Raise on Entry Canvas Property". There is a good explanation in there on how stacked canvases get covered up by content canvases and when.

Stacked canvas as a tab element

I am working on a form say 'A'. In this form, I have a tabbed canvas 'B' with 4 tabs.
I created another stacked canvas 'C' on which there are elements from 3 different blocks. Now I need to make this stacked canvas as an element of tab2 in canvas 'B'. I.e., if the user clicks on the tab2 of canvasB, it should show the stacked canvas C below the tab.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Chiru

It is not possible to define stacked canvas for a tab canvas.
To avoid such circumstances,
in pre-form, you write
HIDE_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
SHOW_VIEW('TAB_CANVAS');
If tab canvas is not showing up, set the fol. property
raise on entry : yes
viewport x and y position to 0
and try runing ,
if the tab canvas is showing up, gradually return to the required position
else check for any hide_view(tab_canvas) code in your form.
or you can reduce the height of content canvas to view tab canvas. Check the window name of content and tab canvas is same.
And in when tab page changed, you write for each tab page name
IF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE='PAGE2' THEN
go_item('some item in tab page 2');
SHOW_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
ELSIF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE='PAGE1'
go_item('some item in tab page 1');
HIDE_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
END IF;
Why that go-item is required?
Suppose your cursor is in an item in the stacked canvas, and if you click on page 1, The stack canvas wont disappear.

Another canvas related question

Here is my scenario:
I have content canvas (say CC), a stacked canvas (SC) and a tab canvas (TC). On the CC, I have the TC always showing in the bottom half. In the upper half of the CC, I have some text items, list items etc always showing.
When the user selects certain options of the drop down lists in the CC and/or TC, I want to display the stacked canvas(SC) while still displaying the TC in the bottom half of the CC. SC has only a text item and an ok button on it. This text field is to capture the comments of the user. What I am trying to accomplish is to capture the user comments from the SC, assign it to a data block item when the user clicks on the 'ok' button on the SC and then hide the SC. Since there are multiple drop down list items in the SC and TC, I plan to re-use the same SC to capture the comments. Don't know if this is a good way to do it and if it can be accomplised or not. Any suggestions/ideas are appreciated.
The issue that I am facing is when I display the SC upon changing a list item in the CC, then the TC
disappears.Neither does the SC appear with the text box and the ok button on it.
1. I am using the show_view to display the SC.
2. For the SC properties itself, I set the
Raise on entry =NO, '
visible = 'YES'
3. All the canvases share the same WINDOW
4. My canvases are ordered in the following order
SC
CC
TC
5. Using forms 6i.
Pardon my ignorance about the workings of the canvases (I always struggled to understand how the various canvases work). Also, these questions were probably asked many times before....but figured might re-ask. Pls. excuse my laziness in this regard.
Questions:
1. Can I have all the 3 canvases showing at a same point in time? (does reports allow that?)
2. Has any one implemented what I am trying to accomplish? If yes, how did you do it?

If the "TC" disappears, maybe the SC overlaps it.
If the SC isn't displayed, try using a GO_ITEM('THE_TEXT_ITEM'); instead of using SHOW_VIEW.
Another option might be:
Create a second form and put the "comment-field" on a canvas in that form. In the WHEN-LIST-CHANGED-trigger where you actually show the SC, do a CALL_FORM to that new form to capture the users comment and proceed when the called form is ended.
