Reset Page Items

I have page with multiple buttons.After any button is pressed I am branching to the same page.
For Example If I enter data in the fields and press create button row is being inserted and branches to same page.But I need to reset the items after every operation.
Pls help me out.

David,
Try the "Session State" Processes option under the create process wizzard. There are processes in there that will allow you to reset the page's item values as a whole or individually.

Download as in IR Search Bar resets Page Item values?

Hello,
i have in an IR a separate region that has Page Items. When i set to these Page Items values and press Go then their values are submitted and used in IR's query. The fetch is correctly being done. Then when i use Download As IR Search Bar, their values are being resetted to that when NULL and query is executed again and fetching wrong results in Excel csv file. Is this the normal behaviour of the Download As option in Search Bar? How can i avoid this resetting ?
To be more exact the resetting is being done just after pressing the Excel Icon in Download As in Search bar.
TIA

Finally i managed to find what caused the problem: i had a process in Before Header that was called from a user button in this area. This process cleared all value of fields and actually doing reset. I have failed to set it conditional upon Reset Request. After doing that it looks like it keeps the result set even in Download as. But i have noticed the following behaviour and i have made a case in apex.oracle.com for examination:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20695:1
user/psw: demo/demo
When you log in do these things:
0. Open Basic Search Show/Hide Region
1. Clear Date From and Date To field and tab out (JS scripts put default values)
2. Click in Search Bar and select Filter
3. Use as field : User Name, operator: LIKE and value: ADMIN
4. Press Apply.
5. It says No data found!
6. Press Go
7. It fetches correctly one row!
Why Apply does not work ? Shouldn't execute the query ?

Reset data picker page item by selection page item in Apex

Hi,
Need to create a report based on date ranges and for this created a interactive report and two page item datepicker fields P15_fromdate and p15_todate. Report works fine with this criteria.But user wants one more field quarter(P15_quarter), When they select the quarter the range values has to get reset and as to get applied to report.
Issue here is unable to find a way to set the page range item values based on the quarter field selection
Need help how to reset the page item fields.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Ligon,
You're right to think this is pretty laborious stuff. A co-worker wanted to do the same, to make sure users didn't lose a change when clicking Cancel. I suggested he look at calculating the query checksum before and after, which he tried. But it got very cumbersome very fast and he ended up dropping the idea. He's fairly new with Apex, but he's also a quick study, so it's not like he's a novice coder.
I don't have his implementation details anymore to even share with you.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Good luck,
Stew

Page Item Drag and Drop reset all items Displayed Field attribute

If I use the Drag and Drop feature it resets all items Displayed/Field attribute to yes. Is this just the way it is and it is to bad so sad for Nicholas or is there something I can do to be able to use drag and drop and still retain my setting for the Item's Displayed/Field attribute.
Any assitance is much appreciated

Probably the easiest way would be to have 2 arrays that hold
the data being sent to box A. Just add/or subtract from one that
you don't care if it changes, and leave the other one alone. When
you want to reset, just clear Array 2 and populate it again from
Array 1. For Box B, just reset the contents of the array to nothing
- myArrayB = new Array({item1:'',item2:''})

Refresh only page item while submitting data from the popup window

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to Apex .....
I have a form with text items as first few entries and then a radio button list and few text items again. On selecting certain radio button I have a popup window which acts as an interface for the next text item in the calling page. The purpose of having the popup window is that the text item following the radio button takes the input with certain character delimiters along with the data. Instead of using delimiters while entering the data I want a meaningful data to be keyed in the popup window and all the string operation to be done as a background process. I have been successful this far. I'm using the below javascript on click of the submit button.
javascript:doSubmit();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
window.close();
On doing this I'm losing the values submitted for the items prior to the radio button(including radio button). Please note, I have a dynamic action set on page load to reset the values. Is it possible to refresh just the page item from the popup window.
Also, I tried excluding the window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH'); from the above javascript. It sets the item with the expected value (viewed it in the session items, however I would like to view the concatenated string on my calling page) but following this there is an insert operation which uses all the necessary items in the form. All values except the value returned from the popup window is populated into the table. Am I missing something.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thank you!!!
Regards,
Ganesh

Value set using Javascript is only in your browser page but is not yet available in the session. This is why the report doesn't return the expected output.
Before refreshing the report you would need to set the session state of this item.
You can set it after you assign the item a new value or before the report is refreshed
For Interactive Reports, this is available built in
you can go to Report Attributes >Advanced Attributes -> Page Items to Submit and specify P2_X1 for the field(and any other page item that the report is dependent on)
For standard reports, you can create a Dynamic Action that is triggered "before refresh" of the report's region, and choose PLSQL as the action types, give a dummy BEGIN NULL END; for the code and specify this item name in the page item to submit field so that it sets the items's value in session.

Clear Cache-Single Page Item

I need to clear the cache for a single page item. This is what I have done:
- Created button call Reset Appt Time
- Created Process - Clear Cache for items, Source has the page item I need to clear - P3_APPT_DT_TM
- Created Branch - so that when Reset button is pressed it branches back to same page (3)
Everything works, but the cache is cleared for all the items on the page not just the one page item I specified.
Please advise.

Hi,
I am not sure if you could clear cache of a single item, but you can initialize any item to null or any values, look for the Action box of Page Branch, (set these items and set these values ).

Reset Page on redirect

Hello Friends,
I have different pages in my application.. I have a hyper link to Page 97 on page 1 and page 15 , Also Page 97 has some select on Submits [ redirects to same page]. My concern is, I want to reset the page only when I am taking the link from a different page [page 9,15] but not when I am redirected from page 97 itself.
I have created a 'RESET PROCESS' to reset Page 97 on Page 1 that should fire 'On Submit', but it did not help. am I missing some thing..
Thanks

Chaitu,
I am experimenting with using a "called from" mechanism where I would keep track apex page I came from. I created an application item named CALLED_FROM and created the following computation on page header. This way I can change logic on a page based on where I came from without having to clutter the URL with more parameters.
declare
l_url    varchar2(1000);
l_tokens wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
l_index pls_integer := 1;
begin
l_url := owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_REFERER');      -- gets the url which referred us to the current page.
l_url := substr(l_url,instr(l_url,'f?p=') + 4);     -- gets the colon delimited list of APEX parameters from the url
l_tokens := htmldb_util.string_to_table(l_url,':'); -- parses the list into an array.
if l_tokens(2) is null then                         -- if there is no page id
    return 1;                                         -- return the home page id
else
    if l_tokens(2) != :app_page_id then               -- if we changed pages
      return l_tokens(2);                             -- assign the new page id
    else
      return :CALLED_FROM;                            -- retain the old page id
    end if;
end if;
exception
when others then
    return 1;
end;Basically all this does is it verifies if the referring page is an apex url and if it is then check to see that the referring page is not the current page you are on (some pages refer to themselves for refreshing data). If it is not then the CALLED_FROM application item is set to the referring page id. I have not tested this with page aliases and this is just some code I was experimenting with.

Tyson Jouglet.

Question - any way to set a Page Item in a worksheet to default to All ?

Well, I seem to have run across an interesting situation here. I have a table worksheet with page items. I have noticed one thing while testing this new worksheet/workbook. If I pick a value for one of the page items (and with page items, it seems I can only pick one value at a time) and then save the worksheet, close the workbook, and then reopen the workbook and run the worksheet, Discoverer has retained the page item value as the value when I saved it, rather than defaulting back to <All>. So I quickly learned a new lesson with this darn Discoverer product - make sure all page items set to the <All> value before I save a worksheet that I am going to want to promote to Production.
Well, now I have run into a situation where based on the conditions I have to set in the workbook, I have a Page Item in the worksheet that today has only 1 value that pulls into the worksheet. When I do the drop down on that Page Item, it only shows the one value. It does not give me the ability to pick the <All> option. So I am unable to save the workbook with the <All> value today for that page item. There are other potential values for this Page Item that could show up in the future.
Now granted if this were to happen, the Viewer user could do the drop down on the page item at that time and pick the <All> value at that time. But alas, since they are not the owner of the workbook, they could only save as a new workbook, with themselves as the owner - cannot change the production workbook so it would be changed going forward. This also means the user has to realize that they are missing data and that the fixed page item value is the cause of that, which I am skeptical that they will be able to figure out. So I really want this page item value to default to <All> when the users open and run this worksheet.
So here is my question - does anyone know of a way to set the Page Item value to be <All> automatically when a worksheet is run?
I hope this makes some sense. Always a challenge to explain an issue well. It took me a bit to realize that when saving a worksheet/workbook, it was retaining the selected page item values when I performed the save. It is also very unusual to have a situation where a page item does not currently have multiple values. So this may be a situation that few people have run across.
John Dickey

Ah, there is a potential workaround, as I have finally figured out. The workaround does require that you have the ability to bring in multiple values for the page item from the worksheet run result set. If you have a situation, like I have, where today you only have one valid value, you will still have a problem.
The workaround is this. Figure out a way to get multiple values into the worksheet run result set. That way when you do the page item drop down list, you will see the <All> value in that list. Pick that value, refresh the worksheet, and save the workbook. Now reset your worksheet back to your desired conditions, where you end up with just one value in the worksheet result set, and refresh the worksheet. The <All> is still retained as the page item default and when you do the drop down list for the page item, you see two values in the list - your 1 valid value plus the <All> value. So once you get that <All> set as the page item default, then it will be retained. This explains how support originally tested (on an existing worksheet) and said they were able to see and pick the <All> value.
Since it should be rare for something to have just one valid value in a worksheet result set, and even rarer to have just one current valid value in Oracle, this workaround should take care of most of the situations where you might encounter this issue. I still will push for an enhancement request to have that <All> value show in the drop down list even when just one value in the worksheet result set.

Reseting page number in Word RTF template for BI Publisher PDF generation

Hi!
Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.
Word RTF template is grouped on BILLS.ID field with page break option. So one BILLS.ID may have one or many pages (according data).
How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
Page numbers are in footer in format
curr_group_page/total_group_pages
where:
curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
Example:
ID=1 (4 pages)
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
ID=2 (1 pages)
1/1
ID=3 (2 pages)
1/2, 2/2
ID=4 (3 pages)
1/3, 2/3, 3/3
etc.
How to achieve that kind of numbering?
Any help appreciated.

Damir Vadas

Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805

You know, I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

Report- Pl/sql function returning sql query parsing page items as text?

Hi Team,
I am facing a strange issue .
I have four page items namely
1)JOB_CODE
2)MIN_EXP
3) MAX_EXP
4) SOURCES1
I have a report of the type "Pl/sql function returning sql query"
declare
v_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
if (:JOB_CODE IS NOT NULL and :MIN_EXP IS NOT NULL and :MAX_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql:= 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
elsif (:JOB_CODE IS NULL and :MIN_EXP IS NOT NULL and :MAX_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql := 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
elsif (:MIN_EXP IS NULL and :JOB_CODE IS NOT NULL and :MAX_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql := 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
elsif (:MAX_EXP is null and :JOB_CODE IS NOT NULL and :MIN_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql := 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
end if;
insert into query_list values (v_sql);
insert into debug values (:JOB_CODE , :MIN_EXP , :MAX_EXP , :SOURCES1);
return v_sql;
end;
Please not that I am insertin the query into a table called Query_list and the page item values into the table called Debug thru the pl/sql function which returns teh query.
Now I select the data from the debug tables.
select unique(query) from query_list;
select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like '%:SOURCES1%'
select * from debug;
JOBCODE     MINEX     MAXEX     SOURCE
21     1     10     donkeyHire
And if I run the query in sql I get some records returned
select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = 21 and v_experience_years >= 1 and v_experience_years <= and source like 'donkeyHire'
V_CANDIDATE_ID     V_FNAME     V_CURRENT_EMPLOYER     V_EXPERIENCE_YEARS
2     Vengu     Andale Tech     4
But the record does not show up in the report!
does this type of report parse page items as text?
Why is it so?
Waiting for an early reply.
Thanks,
venkat

Venkat - You don't want to put ':SOURCES1' in quotes like that.

Text wrap on Master Page items

RE: InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista
Hello,
I inserted a graphic on both of my master pages and applied a text wrap to them. However, on my document pages, my text does not wrap around the graphics. (In the Text Frame Options dialog box, the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked.) I know I can either override my master page items (and insert the graphic again) or control-shift-click on the graphic and force the text to wrap around it. But that puts another link to the graphic in my document...and I'm trying to minimize the file size.
Do you have any ideas on how to make the text wrap on the master pages work on the document pages?

Text wrap on masters is not honored on live pages in CS2. It was added as feature in CS3.

Set page item from a stored procedure

Dear reader
We would like to have a stored procedure to run every 10 minutes. When the procedure starts, the user has to be warned that the update process is running.
When the procedure is finished, the user should receive a message that the update process is finished.
What I had in mind was to set a Page 0 item 'P0_REFRESH' and set his value depending on the status of the update. Then add a dynamic action with a change event. So everytime the value of this page item changes, the user will receive a correct message.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set a page item from a stored procedure?
Kind regards
Xnni

AndyPol
I found a solution by querying the user_jobs table. In Apex, I created two page 0 items that hold the current status of the job (online, offline) and the old value of the job.
Online of offline in the current status item is determined by a decode on "this_sec".
The enext step was to include a html region in P0 that contains some javascript. This javascript will display a message when the values of the new status is different from the old status ;)
Many thanks for bringing up the ideas.

Problem with dynamic change a page item value

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically calculated the value of an item based on a simple formula that involves the multiplication of two elements from the same page.
To do this, create dynamic action as follows:
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P19_DURATION
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE
Set Type: SQL Statement
SQL Statement: SELECT :P19_DURATION * :P19_RATE FROM DUAL
Page items to submit: P19_DURATION
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P19_AMOUNT
When altering the P19_DURATION get no change in P19_AMOUNT
Since my knowledge of javascript is almost zero, I'm trying to do this with pl / sql or sql. Try the dynamic action with a function or a PL / SQL statement and nothing works.
Have to use javascript for this?
Searching the forum I think it's something simple, but I did not find an example similar to what I need.
Regards

Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P19_DURATION
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE
Set Type: javascript
javascript Code:
amount = $v('P19_DURATION') * $v('P19_RATE');
$s('P19_AMOUNT',amount);

Reset cleared item in inactive fiscal year using FBRA

I want to Reset cleared item document in 2006, but now Im in active fiscal year 2008 using T-code FBRA. The error message show Reversal in different fiscal year is not allowed Message no. AA 487
Does any body could help to let me know the configuration to open it?

Hi,
When we maintain GL accounts/sub ledgers with open item management, we clear docuemnts when the debit and the credit match. This clearing also creates a clearing document. Clearing documents cannot be reversed using F.08. For reversing clearing we need to first reset the documents as open items and then reverse it.
For example I have an invoice no 1234. This invoice will remain open till i receive a payment. When I receive a payment a new document is created (no. 5678) when i enter the receipt and this document also becomes the clearing document. Now due to some error, when we have to reverse this payment document, we use FBRA. When we use this, the system will first reset the documents 1234 and 5678 as open items and then reverse the document 5678.
hope this helps.
thanks and regards,
anit
