Same form for READ/SEARCH/NAVIGATE, INSERT, UPDATE ?

Hi,
What would be the best way to have a form based on a table where it would be possible to use the form for : READ/SEARCH/NAVIGATE, INSERT or UPDATE action? Like Oracle Forms...
I could create a "form based on a table", but it wouldn't have the READ/SEARCH/NAVIGATE possibility.
Thanks

A small suggestion.. You might want to review the tutorial for APEX, since it's NOT LIKE Forms... Forms has a constant connection to the server, and thus you write applications that way. When building APEX applications you work in a browser based environment, where your state is stored in a table on the server.
Try the tutorials, read the books, learn APEX..
(You can do a search, Write/Insert and Update in APEX Too, just NOT LIKE in Forms with Function buttons to query on a column and such..)
Thank you,

How to use same form for Editing info and creating info.

Hi all,
Here my aim is to select the user from list and edit the user info. There is one more option to create the new user.
Currently I am using two separate input forms one for Editing and one more creating new user.
Can anyone tel me, how to use the same form for both editing and creating.
Thanks,
Ramesh Biradar

Hi Ramesh,
I'll make some assumptions about how you're going about this, and then give you a possible solution:
I assume that you have a table with selection on one page. To edit an item, you wish to select it's radio button and click an edit button to take you to another page with the item filled in to edit it. To create a new item, you'd like to click a "new" button and go to the same page.
If this is correct, here's the basic steps:
1). Assuming you have both the list and edit pages already created, make sure you have a JSF navigation case defined going from the list page to the edit page. I'll call this navigation case "goToEditPage" for this discussion.
2). To make the edit button, drag a command button from the component palette and drop it on the af:TableSelectOne (the column in your table containing the radio buttons for selection).
3). Set the action property on this command button to "goToEditPage".
4). Now, to make the create button, drag a command button from the component palette somewhere on the page. I like to put mine in a panelButtonBar inside the actions facet of an af:Page component.
5). Now, for the Action property of this command button, bind it to a method in your page's backing bean. The code will look something like this:
public String performNew()
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Create");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty())
      return null;
    return "goToEditPage";
}Hope this is helpful, Ramesh.

Workaround solution PDF Form for Reader 8 & 9 - or is it?

I've devised a workaround solution to make pdf forms work consistently with Adobe Reader 8 & 9.
I'd like to run it by you guys to see if you think there's a better solution or whether I could have created problems for myself.
Initially I had a simple Submit button on the pdf form that linked to an email address. But then I discovered the button worked differently in Reader 8 & 9.
In Reader 9, the Submit button opened the attachment in an email with the address in place. Great!
But in Reader 8, the Submit button (despite asking whether you use desktop or Internet email) only saves the pdf. You then have to attach it to the email manually.
My aim was to create a version that worked the same for both Reader 8 & 9 - so that I could provide one simple set of instructions that would work for both. And so that my customers wouldn't even need to know which version of Reader they were using.
The version I've created enables people to open the pdf form in Reader 8 or 9, fill it in and save it. Then they can attach it to an email in the normal way.
Although I won't be telling my customers this: Users of Reader 9 will also be able to open their completed file directly as an email by clicking the Submit Form button.
My solution was to create a hidden Submit button that didn't work! Without it, the fields wouldn't work in Reader 8. But its presence prevented a substitute Submit Button appearing. The problem with the substitute Submit Button was that
a. It blocked out my artwork
and b. it didn't work as a Submit Button anyway - it only saved the document!
Here's what I did. Please let me know if you think some of the stages were unnecessary:
In Acrobat Preferences - Identity - Make sure email address is the one client wants emails to go to.
To create invisible submit button that doesn't work:
Button Properties:
General - Hidden
Appearance - No Border or Fill
Options - Layout - Label only, Behaviour - None
Actions - Select Trigger - Mouse Up, Select Action - Submit a Form
Submit a Form - Edit -
Just type in - mailto: ... not the rest of the email address
Select PDF
Forms - Distribute Forms
Manually Collect Responses in my Inbox - NEXT
Save a local copy and Manually send it later (choose where) NEXT
Deselect Collect Name & Email

Your best bet is not to use email at all. Post the form on the net and have them fill it out and use a script to email you the responses or to place the data into a database. Too many people don't know how to use attachments. You have to worry about the 500 users/uses limit. At the University I work at, I'd guess15-30% of the students, faculty and staff don't know how to use attachments. I doubt the real world is much different.

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?

SCCM 2012 Reporting Code Returns Same Value For Total Number Of Required Updates Per Computer

I'm trying to make a custom report in SCCM 2012 R2 with SQL 2012 since Microsoft took out the ability to list the number of updates needed per computer. This was in WSUS reporting but is not in SCCM reporting. I've made a custom report for this but can't
quite get it to work. The report runs but the same value for total number of updates needed shows up for every computer. I took a query from one report and am trying to get it to run inside the select statement from another report. Here is the code as it is
right now:
declare @CI_ID int; select @CI_ID=CI_ID from fn_rbac_ConfigurationItems(@UserSIDs) where CIType_ID=9 and CI_UniqueID=@AuthListID
          declare @StateID int
          select @StateID=StateID from fn_rbac_StateNames(@UserSIDs) sn where sn.StateName=@StateName and TopicType=300
          declare @RequiredUpdateCount int
          select @RequiredUpdateCount=Count(v_StateNames.Statename) from
v_StateNames,

          select
            ccm.ResourceID,

There's plenty wrong with it. It gives you no idea of how many patches each box needs. Then you have to click on each computer, click the sort arrow by the "required" column, and count the number needed. When you have hundreds of computers to work on this
is a big deal as it's very time consuming. What's great about the view in WSUS that had this is that it listed this for you and you could sort the required column. So if have most computers needing 2 patches, you can go find the one that needs 40 and 150 (to
over exaggerate) and put the time on them needed to see why they're so far behind. The WSUS format was quick, easy, and informative. SCCM makes getting this info a royal PITA which is why I'm (and many others) so royally peeved at MicroShaft for removing this
functionality, but that's what we've all come to expect from MicroShaft--just like when then took the nice colorful themes out of Office 2010 and replaced them in Office 2013 with just white, gray, and a darker gray. That's super boring and actually hurts
my eyes.

Completing the same form for additional products

We are collecting data from manufacturers as to the products being displayed on their exhibition stands. In order for the data to be collected for each product, so it is listed on a seperate line in an excel spreadsheet I have put together the questions for each product on one form. The manufacturer then needs to complete the form for each product displayed, which could be 30 - 40 items. Is there a way to ask them if they wish to enter another product and if they answer yes they are given the form again to complete but without having to add their company and email address again? In effect I want the company and email address to appear automatically on all forms completed after their initial entry or any additional forms after their first entry to link to the first one so we know who it has come from and the entries are linked when exporting to excel. I also have the same issue with another form where we are asking delegates to book to attend an event and the same person is booking for 4 or 5 different delegates from the same company. It would be easier if they did not have to re-enter their company details each time.
I hope this makes sense.
Regards,
Karen

Forms cannot be "connected", data cannot be filled in from another form. You can build a more complex product ordering form with "Show/Hide" logic that will show another set of form fields based on a response, but data is not populated from one field to another or one form to another.

Tabular Form - submit custom data and insert/update records

I have a tabular form with 2 columns representing table data and 5 more custom columns.
Task ID
Task Name
10/7/2013 to 10/13/2013
10/14/2013 to 10/20/2013
10/21/2013 to 10/27/2013
10/28/2013 to 11/3/2013
11/4/2013 to 11/10/2013
1
TASK1
2
TASK2
3
TASK3
I use an sql which returns null values for columns 3 to 7. Then I use the html formatting option of apex and jquery to add change the headers to weeks and add checkboxes.
My sql: select task_id, task_name, null week1, null week2, null week3, null week4, null week5 from <table name>
My table has the columns task id, task name , start_date and end_date.
When the user clicks the submit button, i need to send the checkbox data to my stored procedure and insert records into the corresponding table. I am unable to find out how to send a mapping of the task_id, date headers in each column and the checkbox data to apex back end and process them. For example, if the first check box in first row is checked, i should insert a row with values "1, TASK1, 10/7/2013, 10/13/2013". I also have to read the data from the table and display it in the same format. Please let me know how to accomplish this in apex.

instead of using null, you can use apex_item api to create check boxes
read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CHDDCHAF
you can set the value of check boxes using apex_item api and then the value can be captured in your process
check this: Martin Giffy D'Souza on Oracle APEX: APEX Report with checkboxes (advanced).
let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

Can you use the same form for different datasheets?

Hello! Thanks in advance for your time.
To keep this short, I have created a form at my place of work to do a type of process audit. The form has worked extremely well and now other areas of the business would like to use it. For example, let's say I wanted to perform the exact same process audit
at a supplier, but I want a separate datasheet on my SharePoint page to separate in house audits from supplier audits. The form I created for in house audits took an extremely long time and has tons and tons of fields and tons and tons of rules.
Can I simply save the form to a new location, and somehow publish the form to a datasheet view so all fields from the form appear as columns and the form submits data to the new datasheet? If so, can somebody explain how? I would be eternally greatful!
Mitch

Would this be an InfoPath form?
One option would be to extend your current form to have a 'Type' field that has 'Internal' and 'Supplier' as choices. You could then create views to show 'All', 'Supplier only' and 'Internal only' subsets of the data.
Alternatively you may be able to save the list as a template and then re-use it but I can't remember how well if at all that works.

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

Insert/Update/Delete in forms6i using Objects table in Oracle9i server

I am using Oracle 9i server and dev 6i (forms6i).
i have a form based on Object tables (including REF's items). when i try to insert update, delete the reocrd in the form, it gives error.
Insert/Update/Delete failed because of OCI_22132: hexadecimal string does not corresopond to a valid REF.
when i remove REFs items from form (not from database) then it does all functions (insert,update,delete,query).
Actually i haved used this form with Oracle 8i and it did all functions(insert,update,delete,query). i am using the same tables and types definations in Oracle 9i but it is not working.
Note: Insert, Update, Delete, or Query is not being done through forms when using REFs items. Others tools like sql*plus are performing the same actions very well.
Please help.
I will be thankful to you.
M. Faisal.

user563114,
As James (padders) told you in his reply to a similar question that you posted (Typed tables is treated in the same way as a relational table?) in the Typed tables is treated in the same way as a relational table? forum, the only way you can tell for sure is to try it out both ways, measure and compare the times.
Of-course, there are many factors that effect the time, apart from whether you use a nested table or a regular table.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Add/Edit in same FORM or not??

Hi,
I wanted to get an idea and see what others are doing when
creating forms that allow a user to add and edit information.
Do most of you create one form that can handle adding a
record as well as editing a record? Or do most of you create one
HTML form for adding a record and a separate HTML form for editing
the record?
Just curious, if you use one form, what technique do you
follow and why? I have my own way of doing this, but am curious to
see what others are doing.
Thanks,
-Westside

I use the same form for for both inserts and updates.
Consider this, if you allow a user to post a form, then you
validate it, you will need to redisplay the form so they can make
their corrections. This process is similar to displaying existing
data for modification.

Oracle RAC - Not getting performance(TPS) as we expect on insert/update

Hi All,
We got a problem while executing insert/update and delete queries with Oracle RAC system, we are not getting the TPS as we expected in Oracle RAC. The TPS of Oracle RAC (for insert/update and delete ) is less than as that of
single oracle system.
But while executing select queries, we are getting almost double TPS as that of Single Oracle System.
We have done server side and client side load balancing.
Can anyone knows to solve this strange behaviour? Shall we need to perform any other settings in ASM/ Oracle Nodes
for better performance on insert/update and delete queries.
The following is the Oracle RAC configuration
OS & Hardware :Windows 2008 R2 , Core 2 Du0 2.66GHz , 4 GB
Software : Oracle 11g 64 Bit R2 , Oracle Clusterware & ASM , Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
Storage Simulation : Xeon 4GB , 240 GB ,Win 2008 R2, Microsoft iSCSI Traget
Please help me to solve this. We are almost stuck with this situation.
Thanks
Roy

If a form is distributed multiple times does it count as the same form?

We are considering purchasing Froms Central to handle our post-conference participant questionnaires but have a query regarding the forms. If we use the same form for each of our 12 conferences per year, will this count as one form or 12?

If its the same form file being used then its just one form. If you made 12 copies of the form (one for each conference) then it would be 12.

Same page for insert/update

Hi there,
Do someone knows about JSF patterns for using the same page/form for inserting and updating the same entities information ?
2 use cases:
1 --> the user browses a list of objects (DataTable), let's say Employees, clicks on one line and gets redirected to the employee details page so he can update the information;
2 --> the user wants to create a new employee and goes to the same page which is empty.
The way I am actually doing it: I have an employeeForm page and an EmployeeForm managed bean (session scope) which contains an instance of Employee. This Employee is initialized when an empty form is needed or sent by DataTable controller when employee details' are requested.
This is not really nice to my point of view since the EmployeeForm controller has to re-initialize it's Employee instance after each usage.
Does someone has a link or can provide a comment for a "best practise" on that topic?
Thanks in advance,
Fabrice.

I think you should consider using the request scope of the employee bean, when navigating from dataTable to employeeForm overwrite the bean with the value from datatable
otherwise the bean is created on every request.
