Return multiple values for the popup LOV

Hi folks,
I have one challange. I have a search engine and there is an popup lov and its having three Display and 3 Retun value such as
select
p.A || ', ' || pi.B|| ', ' || km.C|| ' ' d, p.A || ', ' || pi.B|| ', ' || km.C|| ' ' r
from tableA km,tableB p,tableC pi
where km.col1=p.id and km.col1=pi.id and km.C is not null
when i click on the pop lov it will display 3 values shuch as SAP+DBA+HR and in popup lov iteam its will return 3 values
such as SAP+DBA+HR this return values are from 3 cloumn names from same table ie. A column, B column, C column
and when i click on submit button this return values from 3 columns values should assign to the 3 column such as
A=SAP, B=DBA and C=HR and search fetchs the result in a Report.
Its some thing new, is it possible..:)
ok will be waiting for your reply..:D

Hi Varad,
am facing problems i wrote dynamic sql its working fine for 2 and 3 fields like (SAP+ORCL) and (SAP+ORCL+HRA) but for the single value like SAP the results are not comming properly. my code is
If (:P25_TEST Is not Null ) THEN
V_Sql := V_Sql||q'!
And
(multipleInstr1(R.Pillar,:P25_TEST)>0 )
or INSTR ( '+' || Upper(:P25_TEST) || '+', Upper(R.Pillar))>0 ) and
((multipleInstr1(R.Product_Line,:P25_TEST)>0 )
or INSTR ( '+' || Upper(:P25_TEST) || '+', Upper(R.Product_Line))>0) and
((multipleInstr1(R.Category,:P25_TEST)>0 ) or (R.Category is null)
or INSTR ( '+' || Upper(:P25_TEST) || '+', Upper(R.Category))>0 )
End If;
where multipleInstr1 is a function created to search results even its delimited by '+' it ignors '+' delimiter and
:p25_test is the popup iteam which takes values like SAP+ORCL+HRA or SAP+ORCL or SAP how its possible to get this results.
Its turning too complicated for cheking condetion for a single popup iteam, can we get any solution for this or not..
Hope will do respond
Thanks and Regards,

Multiple values for the Parameter

1. Had any tried the selecting MULTIPLE values for the parameter in Oracle Discoverer Plus Releae 4.1 Version 4.1.37.00.0. If so can please let me know how to implement it.
2. In a Page-Detail Cross Tab workbook, I have to show the weighted average instead of the avg or sum. Any inputs please.
3. I have to compare two periods (TOP) of datapoints. Any inputs please.

If you wanted to eliminate the need for users to type in the parameter values, you could create a LOV on the desired column. This will produce a distinct list of all valid values where the user would simply select as the wish. Of course you still need to check the "let user enter multiple values" checkbox if you want them to select more than one.

How to return multiple values from dialog popup

hi all
I'm using ADF 10g. I have a requirement that I have to return multiple values from a dialog.
I have a page containing a table with a button which calls the dialog. The dialog contains a multi-select table where i want to select multiple records and add them to the table in the calling page.
In the backing bean of the calling page, I have the returnListener method.
I am thinking that I have to store the selected rows from dialog in an array and return that array to the returnListener...but I don't know how to go about it with the code.
Can someone help me out with it?
thanks

Hi Frank,
I'm trying to implement your suggestion but getting comfused.
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, hashMap) is called in ActionListener method, from what I understood.
ReturnListener method already calls it, so no need to call explicitly.
Okay here's what i'm doing.
command button launches the dialog on the calling page.
In the dialog page, there is a button "select", which when i click, closes the dialog and returns to calling page. I put a af:returnActionListener on this button, which logically should have a corresponding ReturnListener() in the calling page backing bean.
Now I have 3 questions:
1. do i have to use ActionListener or ReturnListener?
2. where do I create the hashMap? Is it in the backing bean of the dialog or in the one of calling page?
3. how do I retrieve the keys n values from hashmap?
please help! thanks
This is found in the backing bean of calling page:

I refuse to read all of that code and guess what error message you are getting. Apparently others feel the same way.
Run the final SQL statement and then cut and paste the code and full error statement into a post.
Also include your full version number to three decimal places.
My refusal is not an unwillingness to help you but rather an unwillingness to spend 10 minutes reconstructing what you could have pasted in in a fraction of a second. We are all volunteers here and there are many people that need help. I hope you understand.

APEX 4.0.1: $v() function doesn't return multiple values for checkbox?

Hello,
I have a report that uses apex_item.checkbox(...) to generate checkbox. This report correctly displays a checkbox for each row. The source code generated in the html page is:
<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="202" id="P1_CHECKBOX" />
<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="220" id="P1_CHECKBOX" />
<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="210" id="P1_CHECKBOX" />
I want to use the javascript function $v() to get the values of the checked checkbox. I thought that this function return the values of all the checked checkbox separated by ':' but I notice that my code alert($v('P1_CHECKBOX')); returns each time only the value of the first checkbox if it is checked.
It returns '202' if the first checkbox is checked but nothing if only the second checkbox is checked and '202' if the first and second checkbox are checked.

Hi,
first of all, $v, $x and $s are suppose to only work for page items and not for tabular form columns or manually generated HTML elements.
Second, I think your HTML code is not correct, because each of your checkboxes has the same ID. But the ID has to be unique in the browser DOM tree. So the different checkbox elements should actually be named P1_CHECKBOX_1 .. P1_CHECKBOX_3. Just have a look what is actually generated for a real checkbox page item. BTW, I think you shouldn't name these checkbox elements like a page item, because they are actually not page items. I think that could be confusing for other developers.
Hope that helps

list.add(value2);
map.put(key, list);

Lov to return multiple values

I had a made a dynamic query "Select empno,empname from emp",
but it returns me only one value.In my main form i had 2 fields
EMP_NO and EMP_NAME.
How to get both the values through LOV.
Any advice.
Regards,
aakash

If your select statement is "Select empno,empname from emp" in the dynamic LOV you have created, then it means that the diaplay value is "empno" and the return value is "empname". Always, the first column selected is the display name and the second one is the return value for the dynamic LOV. You cannot return multiple values thru LOVs since forms will not accept currently. In your case, you need to have 2 LOVs... one for empno and the other for empname.

How can IWD_VALUE_HELP return multiple values, instead of one

Hello expert,
I have requirement to use F4 help to return multiple values to the using WD component. Basically in my main WD component, I have a View where I have a list box, this list box has a F4 assigned to it, clicking on the F4 brings up hte F4 help, in the F4 help, user can select multiple values which should be returned to my main component / view to be displayed in the list box.
I'd implement IWD_VALUE_HELP to create my own F4 help component. However I have difficulty to return multiple values. As I understand there is only way to return data from F4 help to the calling Main WD component / view:
Item_LISTENER->F4_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->set_attribute( name = 'MYATTRName' value = myvalue).
Do you guys know how to archive what is required here?
Thanks
Jayson

Hello Jayson,
the element reference that is passed into the IWD_VALUE_HELP implementing component is the element of the calling application's context.
Therefore you can use methods like
IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->GET_NODE
(to get the parent node of the element) and
IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->GET_CHILD_NODE
to get access to other parts of the context.
say for example your value help should populate a pop-in table with multiple entries.
your application allows you to choose a type of ice-cream cone and then to choose the flavour of ice-cream (multi selection)has a structure like:
Context_root
--> List_of_ice_creams (0..n)
>Ice_cream_flavours(1..n)
In the element of list_of_ice_creams you have an attribute "flavour" which links to your value help.
Choosing this value-help should allow you to select multiple flavours, return these and populate them into the sub-node Ice_cream_flavours.
Within your custom value help you can get a reference to the node Ice_cream_flavours by calling the method
lo_flavour_node = IItem_LISTENER->F4_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->GET_CHILD_NODE("ICE_CREAM_FLAVOURS"). You could then populate this in you value help component.
As I mentioned - this isn't great as it means the value help cannot really be used elsewhere as it has a dependency on the structure of the calling context. But that may not be an issue for you.
Hope that helps,
Chris

Multiple Select List not returning multiple values

I have created a Multiple Select List, and the manual says that when multiple values are selected and the page is submmitted (I'm using a GO button), the multiple values are put into the ITEM field, separated with a colon . However, whenever I select multiple entries in my list, it only ever returns a value for the first item (like a single select list).
Does anybody know what I may have missed ? I'm still fairly new to this stuff, so I'm hoping it's fairly simple!
thanks.
p.s I'm using a dynamic list of values.

Andy / Scott,
Sorry, please bear with me ... still new to this.
I have a multi select list item in page 2, called P2_MULTI_LIST. When the page is submitted, I no longer physically pass it to page 3, but how would page 3 pick up the value ? Do I need to set up a P3_MULTI_LIST item in page3 and set that item to the P2_MULTI_LIST value, or do I reference P2_MULTI_LIST directly in my Page3 SQL query ?
Also, if I then want to propogate the value in P2_MULTI_LIST down to another page from page3, via a link in a report, is this possible ?
thanks
Tim

Multiple value variable - not showing Multiple values in the report

Hi,
I have careated a Multiple value variable for one of the characteristics in my Query. however, When i run the Query and select multiple values for the same, the report displays values for only the first selection.
Could you help me resolve this ?
Rgds
Shweta

Hello Shweta,
Are you running the report in the Analyzer excel or Web?
May be you can check the following:
1. Use the latest FEP. It is working for me.
2. May be the other values that you selected do not have corresponding keyfigures values. Hence it is showing only the first one.
Try selecting other values ( except first one selected this time )

Multiple values for Time Characteristics (Ex: 0CALMONTH) in planning layout

Hello,
We are on BW - BPS 3.5v
We have a realtime infocube with only time characteristic 0CALMONTH.
There is a requirement that in my Planning layout I have to display the Keyfigures for:
(CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 4 MONTHS FROM CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 7 MONTHS FROM CUR MONTH)
I defined 3 exit variables on 0CALMONTH , one for Current Month, one for All 4 months from Current Month and another for All 7 months from Current Month.
In my planning layout when I use these variables for 0CALMONTH, I don't get the values for 4 months & 7 months.
I checked the variables are being populated with correct values. But when they get passed to the layout it doesn't read the Cube.
I got the basic doubt if we can give multiple values for the time characteristics in planning layout..??
Thanks for any suggestions.
Vish

Hi.
Did you created 3 restricted KF: one with KF amount and variable current month, second with amount and variable 4 monthes, third with amount and variable 7 monthes ?
Did you have match records in you cube ?

Binding multiple values for a clause in a PreparedStatement

Is there a way to bind multiple values for the same variable?
Example: select * from catalog where catnum = ?
and cat_num can be 12340-56, 23451-21 43211-00 etc.
so the where condition really is:
catnum in ('12340-56', '23451-21', '43211-00')
Thanks for a lead!

I've not been able to do this in a way I'd call clean. You might think you could do something like:// create a PreparedStatment with
// the following String: select * from catalog where catnum in (?)"
ps.setString(1, "'12340-56', '23451-21', '43211-00'");But the driver tends to escape the stuff you want to go "straight in" to your where clause. So I end up using Statement and building the SQL manually.
I'd be interested in anyone else's solution

Display multiple values for a characteristic for Equipment.

Hi is there any way to display multiple values for characteristics of an equipment. Ex. An equipment (Presss) produces multiple ROH Parts. The class VN_TOOl with charactersistic "Part Produced" . When I run IH08 and execute the query, >Show , hide classification I can only get just one part instead of multiple parts. How do I get multiple values for the characteristic

Yes Chandra,
You are not getting it in IH08, but you are getting it in IE07. See this.
IH08
IE07
If you want the report in the ALV layout, then you need to go for a development using FMs in Classification areas such as:
'BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES' 'ALM_ME_CLASS_CHAR_GETDETAIL'

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards
Ido
