"Reset" declared variables to initialized state?

Hiya!
This might sound like a very stupid question, but I have not figured out a way to do this. I am working on a "personal information manager", where users can enter a date in a lovely swing textfield, it get's parsed to Integer and a GregorianCalendar is created with it. Once I created the Calendar, the TextFields are emptied again, but of course the Integer instance variables are still declared with the old values. This leads to the fact that a user could click "add date" again and a date is created without entering any number at all.
My question:
Is it possible to set declared variables back to the state they had when initialized? They should be "empty"...
I can`t set them null...
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated!

The only type of variable where "empty" has any meaning is for an empty string: "". Otherwise there is no empty. Objects are by default initialized to null, numeric primitives to zero, and I think chars to '' but I could be mistaken about that one - I never use chars. So if you're using Integers, they could either be null, or an Integer - nothing else.

Reset View to its initial state

Hi experts,
In my Webdynpro componenet I am navigating between different views. I am displaying data in one view by entering the selection fields. And, when I come back to this view the selection and the data remains in the view. I want the view to be displayed in its initial state every time. Is there any method to reset the view, to be handled in WDDOEXIT?
Thanks,
Sharmila

Hi Sharmila ,
Change the lifetime of the view to when visible.
and it will not decrease your performance .

SQL Expression Field - Combine Declared Variable With Case Statement

Hello All, I have been using Crystal & Business Objects for a few months now and have figured out quite a bit on my own. This is the first real time I have struggled with something and while I could do this as a Formula Field I would like to know how to do this as a SQL Expression. Basically I want to create a SQL Expression that uses a CASE statement but I wanted to make the code a little more efficient and employ a variable to hold a string and then use the variable in the CASE statement. The expression editor accepts the CASE statement OK but I don't know how to declare the variable. Please assist with the syntax?
This is what I have:
CASE
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END
This is what I want:
DECLARE strVar AS VARCHAR(25)
strVar = u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D
CASE
   WHEN strVar = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN strVar = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END

Hi Todd,
Please use the following for loop; your problem will be solved.
Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Database.Field});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
       if {Database.Field} <i> = "H" then str := "Hedge"
        else if {Database.Field} <i> = "P" then str := "PVI"
        else str := "None"; exit for
str
Let me know once done!
Thank you,
Ashok

LMS 3.1 on Solaris 10 - Reset all databases to initial state

Hi,
Is there a script that would clear all databases for LMS 3.1 on Solaris 10?
I imported do CS some devices from a CSV file I exported from an old LMS 2.5 server we had. I get some very strange results when I ask to sync archive for instance. The devices I manually added work fine, but the ones I imported get stuck and the job takes forever to finish (10 hours in some instances, for 230 devices).
I'd like to re-start from scratch without having to uninstall and reinstall LMS.
Thanks,

See this DOC for the commands to reinitialize all databases.

How to reset a particular view object alone to it's initial state??

Hi,
My application contains view objects with custom data source implementation. One of my requirement is to reset the particular view object alone to it's initial state. I can't use rollback since it is at Db Transaction level. I searched in forums and finally written the following coding to achieve it. It works fine during sometime but sometimes i am getting the exception oracle.jbo.DeadEntityAccessException: JBO-27101: Attempt to access dead entity in Person, key=oracle.jbo.Key[1 -10 ]
    public void resetPersonViewObject(String voName) {
        Iterator dirtyItr = this.getEntityDef(0).getAllEntityInstancesIterator(this.getDBTransaction());
        while (dirtyItr.hasNext()) {
            Object obj = dirtyItr.next();
            if (obj instanceof EntityImpl) {
                EntityImpl entity = (EntityImpl)obj;
                String state = null;
                byte entityState = entity.getEntityState();
                switch (entityState) {
                case Entity.STATUS_INITIALIZED:
                    state = "Initialized";
                    // Don't do anything
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_UNMODIFIED:
                    state = "Un-Modified";
                    // Don't do anything
                case Entity.STATUS_DEAD:
                    state = "Dead";
                    // Don't do anything
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_DELETED:
                    state = "Deleted";
                    entity.revert();
                    // entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_CONTAINEES);
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_MODIFIED:
                    state = "Modified";
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_UNDO_CHANGES);
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_NEW:
                    state = "New";
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_FORGET_NEW_ROWS);
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_REMOVE_NEW_ROWS);

        getDBTransaction().clearEntityCache(getEntityDef(0).getFullName());
        getViewObject().clearCache();
}Questions:
1. How to achieve my requirement? Is there any code correction required?
2. How to reset the row which is actually deleted by the user?
3. The sample code shown above is applicable for all the view object instances which are created from the same entity? What should i do if i want to reset a particular instance of a view object (I may use different instance of same view object at various screens whereas i want to reset only one)
Can anyone help on this??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As per my requirement, i use various instances of same view object in various dynamic tabs only. Since each tab has its own transaction, refreshing an EO of a particular transaction will refresh only the VO instances which comes under that transaction. So it will not cause any issue for my requirement i hope.
Requirement: Need to reset a particular entity driven view object instances.
Tried Schema: Departments table of HR Schema. Tried using the Application Module tester.
Code i use:
    // Client Interface method of DepartmentsViewImpl
    public void resetView() {
        Iterator dirtyItr =
            this.getEntityDef(0).getAllEntityInstancesIterator(this.getDBTransaction());
        while (dirtyItr.hasNext()) {
            Object obj = dirtyItr.next();
            if (obj instanceof EntityImpl) {
                EntityImpl entity = (EntityImpl)obj;
                byte entityState = entity.getEntityState();
                switch (entityState) {
                case Entity.STATUS_UNMODIFIED:
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_INITIALIZED:
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_DEAD:
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_DELETED:
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_WITH_DB_FORGET_CHANGES);
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_MODIFIED:
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_UNDO_CHANGES);
                    break;
                case Entity.STATUS_NEW:
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_FORGET_NEW_ROWS);
                    entity.refresh(Entity.REFRESH_REMOVE_NEW_ROWS);
                    break;
        getDBTransaction().clearEntityCache(getEntityDef(0).getFullName());
        getViewObject().clearCache();
Issue i have:
1. Add a blank row (Soon transaction has become dirty). Call the resetView() client interface. It gives me JBO-25303: Cannot clear entity cache model.eo.Departments because it has modified rows
2. Modify any row and then delete the same row. Call the resetView(). It gives me JBO-27101: Attempt to access dead entity in Departments, key=oracle.jbo.Key[10 ]
[NOTE: Above code works fine when for simple deletion of rows, modification of existing rows, new rows]

I presume you are talking of "right" in a moral sense, rather than any other sense. An nice philosophical point.
Look at it this way. In the old days, Oracle wiped the variable whenever a TOO_MANY_ROWS exception was raised. This is "clean" but sometimes people might want to know the previously fetched value. Hence the change in Oracle 8. If you don't want to know the value, then just ignore it in the exception handler.
The only scenario it which I can see this being a potential problem is when you're fetching into an OUT parameter.. This is of course A Bad Thing and as it happens Oracle seems to save us from ourselves (at least in 9.2.0.6)...

Is initial state of a Java stack frame stored somewhere

In My IDE (Eclipse), debugger has an option "Drop to Frame" for each method in the method stack, which when clicked resets the stack to the initial state of the selected method.
How is the operation achieved?
Is this an potion from JDB or IDE would have stored the initial state of all method stack frames?
How could have static variables for other classes got reset?

Can we declare primary as initially deferred deferrable

Hi,
Anyone know Can we declare primary as initially deferred deferrable...What is the syntax like?
Thank You....

Left's first look at the approach you use.. 2 SQL statements that can be done using a single SQL statement.
Actually it is not as bad as some other code posted here where people go and write complex PL/SQL code to do what could have been done using a single SQL statement.
There are a couple of golden rules in Oracle development. One of these is to 'Maximise SQL and Minimise PL/SQL'.
Why take a value from one SQL statement into PL/SQL and then use that value in a second SQL statement?
Rather do this:
select
fn into n
from table2
where id like (Select a from table1 where b like b_new);Also keep in mind that in PL/SQL the above SQL construct is only able to fetch a single row - look at the bold above. The variable N can only hold a single value. If that SQL SELECT returns more than one value, how is variable N suppose to hold it?
I suggest that you read [url http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=appdev.102%2Fb14261%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Books%29]Oracle® Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference guide.

Resetting presentation variable set by prompt

Say I have 2 prompts, State and City, driven by a single go button. The State prompt sets a presentation variable called STATE_VAR and the City column prompt filters its choice list values based on the STATE_VAR and sets its own presentation variable CITY_VAR when the user selects a choice from the list. Both prompts have defaults - the STATE_VAR prompt defaults to a specific state on initial page load and the CITY_VAR defaults to nothing (None option in the prompt dialogue).
This issue I want to solve is resetting the CITY_VAR presentation variable to nothing (as per the default None option in the prompt dialogue) when the user selects a different state in the State prompt. The sequence I want to achieve is listed below.
1) On page load STATE_VAR and State prompt choice are set to Michigan and both the CITY_VAR and City prompt are set to nothing (blank option)
2) User selects Detroit as one of the cities in the City prompt and clicks the GO button.
3) On page load, the STATE_VAR presentation variable and corresponding State prompt are set to Michigan, but now the CITY_VAR and City prompt are now set to Detroit
4) User selects a different option in the State prompt, say Nebraska, and clicks on the GO button
5) On page load, the STATE_VAR presentation variable and corresponding State prompt are now set to Nebraska, however, the default selected option in the City prompt and corresponding CITY_VAR presentation variable are still Detroit though the choice list now contains different values.
Is there anyway to reset both the CITY_VAR and City prompt to the default nothing (None) selected state, essentially resetting the presentation variable?
Thanks.

i am afraid .. you wont be able to achieve this...
The best thing that you can do is to check the constrain checkbox in the city prompt..
Thanks

Bind Variable in SELECT statement and get the value in PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I would like pass bind variable in SELECT statement and get the value of the column in Dynamic SQL
Please seee below
I want to get the below value
Expected result:

Thanks Billy, Would you be able to suggest any other faster method to load the data into table. Thanks,
As Mark responded - it all depends on the actual data to load, structure and source/origin. On my busiest database, I am loading on average 30,000 rows every second from data in external files.
However, the data structures are just that - structured. Logical.
Having a data structure with 100's of fields (columns in a SQL table), raise all kinds of questions about how sane that structure is, and what impact it will have on a physical data model implementation.
There is a gross misunderstanding by many when it comes to performance and scalability. The prime factor that determines performance is not how well you code, what tools/language you use, the h/w your c ode runs on, or anything like that. The prime factor that determines perform is the design of the data model - as it determines the complexity/ease to use the data model, and the amount of I/O (the slowest of all db operations) needed to effectively use the data model.

Getting error after putting variable in select statement

Design Studio - put initial state on chart

Hello,
I work with DS1.3 SP01, and I have a problem with putting initial state on chart after RESET action from a button.
Initially I was inspired with Zahid’s post http://scn.sap.com/thread/3566300, but it’s seems to be other scenario and needs.
I this case, I have a tabstrip with 5 pages, where each presents pie charts. Once we click on one of the chart, a crosstab is displayed for each of them. When I click on button RESET, whatever a page is currently displayed I want to clear all filters for all my charts. During a RESET I hide all cross tabs – so I don’t have to liberate datasources linked to crosstabs.
My code for RESET button seems to work quite ok, cause it gives me a chart with initial state, ready for next selections…. in condition that I do not click on RESET just after 1st click on pie chart.
For example :
- on page 1 : click on pie chart 1, then I go to the page 2/ click on chart 2 - come back to page 1 => click reset (chart 1 - initial state, chart 2-selection is highlighted)
or
- on page 1 : click on pie chart, then I add additional filter from panel_filter for all charts => click reset, works fine for all charts.
If I try to click on RESET just after an action of click on the pie chart, I would say it stays locked, and my RESET do not put him in initial state. But If I click again, it works ! I would like to understand what is happening just after click on pie chart, why the state of chart seems to be "locked" ?
My code:
DS_1.clearAllFilters();
CHART_1.getSelectedMember("XEMPLOYEE").internalKey;
DS_2.clearAllFilters();
CHART_2.getSelectedMember("XCOUNTRY").internalKey;
// put invisible all cross tab from different pages
CROSSTAB_1.setVisible(false);
Thank you
Beata

Hi Beata,
why you need those bold lines?
My code:
DS_1.clearAllFilters();
CHART_1.getSelectedMember("XEMPLOYEE").internalKey;
DS_2.clearAllFilters();
CHART_2.getSelectedMember("XCOUNTRY").internalKey;
// put invisible all cross tab from different pages
CROSSTAB_1.setVisible(false);
I do not see reason for those. I suspect, when you clear the filters, those lines can cause some issues as the clearfilters call is for sure triggering event to chart and then the selection is cleared.

How can I set the initial state of the PGCTR0 out pin?

Hi,
I have a 6115 board, and I am trying to generate a pulse train on PGCTR0 with an external clock. The external clock signal is connected to PFI1 and the PGCTR0 is gated through PFI0. The PGCTR is reset at the end of each run.
The problem is that the initial state of the PGCTR out pin changes from run to run, but I'd like it to stay high after reset. Any help is appreciated. THanks.

Hi Feng,
The default output state of your counters should be high depending on your board. If you run a counter application, and the line ends in a low state it will stay low. One way to change the output state is to not only reset the counter but reset the board (see knowledge base linked below). The other way is to treat it like a digital line (see second link below). This is probably the best method. This method should allow you to read the value and change it using a couple software calls. Instead of disabling the counter, I would reset the counter since you just want to reset the state. This method is also a decent workaround because you are resetting the counter anyway. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

I am trying to reset the Security Questions as I have forgotten them, when I have logged into My Apple Id, and click on the button to reset the Security Questions, it states it is sending an email to the Primary Email address. I do not have the option to input a Rescue Email address, the only option I have is to input an Alternate Email address, which I have done so.
Also when I have tried to book an appointment throuth Online Support, I have not successful, I have rung a telephone number provided by the Mac Store in Perth, Australia and the reply provided is that we are closed. I was given to understand that Apple provided 24/7 Support to their users.

Ensuring that variable is initialized only once in a movieclip

Guys, what is the way to ensure that variable is initialized only once in each instance of a movieclip?
I tried:
if (!isLocked)
    trace("setting up isLocked variable");
      var isLocked:Boolean = new Boolean(false);//I need this variable to be initialized only once for each instance of this movieclip and to value of false
but this doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Note that new Boolean() makes zero sense. And this is the beef I have with the convention of checking for existence with !someVariable. Because inexperienced programmers will use that logic with Boolean (which always exists if you're checking it, but is either true or false) or Numbers, which might exist with a value of zero and will make that expression false.
Try
if (!this.hasOwnProperty('isLocked')) {
     var isLocked:Boolean = true;
This may not work because of variable hoisting in AS. It's hard to know what the addFrameScript code will do to this in the background.
Note that you can avoid this by using a proper Class with accessors and mutators and avoiding timeline code.

"Reset" declared variables to initialized state?
