Set the user entered values to context node

Hi Experts,
I am using a context node for 'BuilHeaderSearch' BOL entity and have provided first name, lastname and email for the user to enter values to search the BP. My requirement here is to capture the values entered on the UI screen and set to context node which supposedly should be taken care by SET_* methods, which is not happening at the moment, consequently are not set to context node meaning that it doesn't go to SET_FIRSTNAME method.
I know i could access the values using formfields but i don't think that's recommended.
Please give me some clue.
Many Thanks for sparing your valuable time,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I think i got the problem now..
Always create instance creates a entity if there is no entity exist in the collection of the context node, for eg lets say you are trying to create one model context node2 which is related to any existing parent context node1.. In this scenario if you check always create instance for the dependent context node2, it will create the blank entity and this you can varify in the on_new_focus of the dependent context node2.(Create related entity code will be there which will create a blank entity if you have check always create instance).
If you don't specify always create instance, framework will not create blank entity for your context node(Check the on_new_focus code no create_related_entity code will be there).
In your requirement if you don't select "always create instance", then as per my understanding you will not be getting blank entity and set_property call should result into exception, which will not be the case when you have entity thru always create instance.
Hope i am albe to clarify this..
Cheers,

Hi All,
Here goes the details of the problem.
1. I have created two textfields(texttfield3 and textfield4) along with an email button in a fragment and binded to an XSD file.textfield3 and textfield4 are user entered fields.
2. On the design page I have created two more fields texfield1 and textfield2 and binded to another XSD.These two fields are read only fields.
3. On preview PDF screen whenever you click on the email button,you get a mail option with an xml file attached to it.
4. whenever you open the xml file,you will get the values of all the four fields.Its given below

Raise exception when the user entered value is not present

Hello Abap experts,
To raise an exception in the function module when the imported variable value is not presnt in the table.
import variable: cust_name.
how to define a exception for this raise it in the code. any examples and suggestions.
Thanks,
BWer

Here is the F1 help on RAISE.

RAISE
Basic form 1
RAISE except.
Effect
This statement is only effective in function modules and methods.
It triggers the exception except.
If the exception is to be handled by the caller of the function module or method ( CALL FUNCTION or CALL METHOD ), the system passes control straight back to the caller. EXPORT parameters of a function module or method are not filled. The EXPORTING, CHANGING, and RETURNING parameters of a function module or method are only filled with the current values if they were defined to be passed by reference. reference).If they are defined to be passed by value, they are not filled.
If the exception is not handled by the caller, the program terminates with an appropriate error message.
Example
Let there be a function module STRING_SPLIT containing the following code (see also the example in the documentation of the CALL FUNCTION statement):
FUNCTION-POOL CSTR.
FUNCTION STRING_SPLIT.
IF STRING NA DELIMITER.
 RAISE NOT_FOUND.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.
The calling program might then contain the following:
PROGRAM EXAMPLE.
CALL FUNCTION 'STRING_SPLIT'
 EXCEPTIONS
 NOT_FOUND = 7.
IF SY-SUBRC = 7.
WRITE / 'There is a problem.'.
ELSE.
ENDIF.

If the NOT_FOUND exception is raised in a RAISE statement in the function module STRING_SPLIT, the system exits the function module and returns control to the calling program. The return code, which you should evaluate directly after the CALL FUNCTION statement, now contains the value 7.
Note
Runtime errors:
RAISE_EXCEPTION: The caller did not handle the exception that was triggered.

RRI with passing user enter values

Hi Friends !
Brief about my requirement for the RRI.
I have a Main Query. When I click on Goto option, it shud display the variable screen and pass the user entered values in the Jump Query.
In RSBBS, I tried with the "Assignment Detail" button, in which we have variable option, etc but via Assignment Details, its not working.
Please provide some inputs.
Thanks.
Rekha

It sounds like you are trying to make RRI do something that it is not designed to do. For RRI to work correctly, the sender query must contain all of the values to be passed to the receiver query. Therefore, no prompting for additional variable values occurs during the jump from the sender to the receiver.
To quote the SAP Help on RRI :
"Queries, transactions, reports and Web addresses can be jump targets. The parameterization of the target action is taken from the context of the cell that you have jumped from. You can set parameters for calling a BEx Query or a BEx Web Application using input variables which are filled from the selection conditions and the element definitions of the cells highlighted in the sender query."
See <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/99/08629bd3e41d418530c6849df303c9/content.htm">SAP Library - Report-Report Interface</a> for all the details.
Hope this helps...

How to Get User entered value in a text variable

Hi,
I have made a text variable to show the user entered value in the column header.
The user enteres value in a formula variable ABC whose default value is say '30'.
I am using customer exit to capture this value in the text variable. The code is as follows
IF i_vnam EQ 'txtvar'.
if i_step = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
WHERE vnam = 'ABC'.
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-low.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
endif.
endif.
Now when I am executing the query I am getting the default value in the column header i,e, 30. But when the user changes this default value to something else while executing the query, I simply get blank in the column. The changed value is not getting captured in the text variable.
Thanks

Hi,
Insted of going for exit,
just create a Text variable proceesing typr Default/ Manual Entry and set the default value as u wish,
use it in the KF header; dont use the same Text Variable for Query Title.
Now i tried this for you and it is working fine.

How to Validate the user entred value

Hi All
I am new to APEX... :)
Can any one send me the URL or material where i can go through and create sample applicaiton having the following functionalities
1) Create a form for the user to enter the data
2) Create users and give access
3) Validate the user entered values (Validation of a e-mail filed or Phone no)
Thanks & Regards
Hari

Hari,
You should start on our Getting Started page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/getting_started.html). I would suggest you do the OBE. It will show you how to create an application, add validations (that is what will make a user enter data in your email and phone fields) and create users. It uses APEX Authentication which means that any developer within the workspace can access and run the application and that you can also create end-users from within your workspace that will only be able to run your applications (not access the development environment).
It will definitely answer your questions -

Reg: User Entered Value in LOV Window

Hi All,
Following is the use case.
I have an LOV ("PO Number") with its own controller. If user enters a partial value in LOV Field, (say 513),
LOV Window comes up with results like PO Number starting with 513. Suppose, If user modifies the search value from 513 to 913,
LOV query needs to get executed with new search value (913).
Can you please suggest me to capture the new user entered value (913) in the controller.
I tried the following. But, poNum value obtained through below code is 513(old value - value entered in LOV of base page.)
Dictionary passiveCriteria = (Dictionary)pageContext.getLovCriteriaItems();
String poNum = (String)passiveCriteria.get("PosPoNumberInternalLov1");
Is there any other way, i can find out the new user entered value in LOV Window.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi Gyan,
My requirement is that, I need to make some processing/manipulation on the user entered search value for the LOV.
If the user enters value in base page, i am able to get the value and process it.
But, If user clicks on LOV Window, enters a new value in search field, i am not able to capture the new value.
Please suggest accordingly.
Thanks,
Kiran

Ensuring user enter value in the fields before proceeding to another fields

Hello,
I am using Oracle APEX 4.1 in oracle 11g R2 database.
Here is the case, I have build a custom form in which there are 20 fields. I want to ensure that end user enters value in sequence one by one.
For example:-
First Name should be entered before Last name or Date of birth.
Please help guys...

Use dynamic actions for that and disable the element Last Name if the element First Name is empty. Enable it if the First Name is entered.

How to keep a calculation field blank until the user enters a number?

I am building a sales sheet for a school that sells scrip as a fund-raiser. I have the document set so that when the user enters the number of scrip certificates he wants (say, two $25 gift certificates at Lowe's), the program will automatically calculate that this user owes $50 for that scrip category. However, there are more than 100 companies that one can choose from, and if the user doesn't enter a number, the calculated field shows $0. Is there a way that each field can stay blank until the user enters a number bigger than zero? By the way, I'm using this calculation to determine the value (borrowed from a user on this forum): event.value = 50 * this.getField("Lowes").value
Thanks!

There are two approaches. You can either add the following Validate script:
// Custom Validate script for calculated field
if (+event.value !== 0) event.value = "";
Or you can change your custom Calculate script and set the Format type of the field to "None":
// Custom Calculate script
(function () {
var v = +getField("Lowes").value;
event.value = (v !== 0) ? util.printf("$%.2f", v) : "";

User entered values are lost on EO validation.

Hi ,
Subject : user entered values are lost on EO validation.
WE have an EO which has 4 attributes all are not null (mandatory)
There is a VO based on this EO
We have added 4 more attributes using a join in EO query using expert mode.
On the page there is a Table , that has 8 columns all mapped to these 8 attributes.
The First column is an LOv that populates 4 column attributes(2 EO based and 2 added thru expert mode)
When the user submits the page, without entering rest of the two EO mandatory atributes, the EO validation is raised and the 4 fields populated by LOv are cleared.
Can you pls tell me what am i doing wrong.
thanks
Chaitanya

Observation
All the table columns that were loosing information were "MessageStyledText" and those not loosing were "MessageTextInput"
Various approaches
SO we converted the MessageStyledText columns into MessageTextInput and the data was retaining properly.
But we wanted these columns are 'ReadOnly' so when we made these columns are MessageTextInput - ReadOnly, then data was not getting popluated by the lov in these.
Working solution - The FormValue 'Glue'
We created formValues correcponding columns and populated the FVs also along with the column (both FV and column have same ViewAtt and View instance) and found that in this case the formvalues 'Glues' the VO att value with the page and does not get lost on refresh.
Strange solution but works, thought to share with all.
thanks

Add WHERE criterias in addition to what the user enters on search page

Hi,
This may be a simple problem, but I have not been able to solve it.....Is there a way for me to code another search criteria in addition to what the user enters?
I'm trying to create a simple search page. Basically, user logs on, i get his acoount number and save it in a variable. Then whatever the user's search criterias are , I want to add "AND ACCOUNT = ???."
I've tried:
In the processRequest, retrieve his account number using a VO, stored account number in variavle x and then call a initQuery(x) for the VO to get only the rows that he should be able to see. Problem A: I get 'SQLStmtException' when I test the page by trying to do a Simple Search. So to fix that, in the VOImpl, I added these two calls -- setWhereClauseParams(null); setWhereClause(null); -- after the executeQuery(). After I did this, ran into Problem B: the user could search any record that wasn't associated with his account.
I also tried to dynamically create the vo using createViewObjectFromQueryStmt("Select * from table where account = " + x) but was not successful. The page didn't render and I received a ClassCastException similar to this thread -- Re: How to Create OAViewObject programatically
I'm new to OAF and would appreciate any pointers on how to implement this.
Thanks,
LL

Hi,
I assume that you haven't tried the following steps..if you have and still get an error, give us the SQL statement error that is coming up. If I misunderstood your requirement, could you elaborate.
I assume that when the user logs in you get the account number automatically.
You could define the VO to have the following where condition 'WHERE ACCOUNT=:1'.
Then you set the account id from the user using setWhereClauseParams(0,accountid) and call executeQuery. This would limit the result to that user.
This will work in addition to any other search fields that might have been used in the query.
For e.g with just the account id the sql that will be fired is
Select attribute1, attribute2....from Tablexxx where account = :1
Any other user search criteria given in the page will result in a ssql query like the following
select * from (Select attribute1, attribute2 ...from Tablexx where accoount = :1) where newattribute like `%xx`
Hope this helps. Let us know if you still have issues.
Thank you,
Arun
