Setting Application Item On New Instance problem

Trying to set several application items using application computations set to fire On New Instance (ie. new login). None of them are firing on a new login.
I did successfully fire them when I made page rendering computations after the header, but when I move them to Application level Computations set to ONI nothing fires. Any ideas?
Thanks

You could have the main menu page include a before-header process to do the following: IF :COMPUTATIONS_COMPLETE is null then
      <do all your computations>
      :COMPUTATIONS_COMPLETE := 'Y';
END IF;[pre]
..where COMPUTATIONS_COMPLETE is an application item.

Trying to set application item value through javascript

Hi,
I am not sure what I am doing wrong here can someone possibly shed some light? I have the following in my
HTML Header of my login page
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function setAppItem(val){
var req = new htmldb_Get(null, &APP_ID., 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=dummy',
&APP_PAGE_ID.);
req.add('F_LOGIN_MESSAGE', val);
var gReturn = req.get();
req = null;
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function doLogin()
var err = false;
alert(document.getElementById('P101_USERNAME').value);
if((document.getElementById('P101_USERNAME').value == '') ||
    (document.getElementById('P101_PASSWORD').value == '')) {
    setAppItem('You must enter a username and password.');
    err = true;
if(!err) {
    doSubmit('Login');
</script>The setAppItem function does get called but it is not setting the application items text?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for all of your help Jari it is appreciated!
For others the solution was to add the following to my HTML Source
<div id="LOGIN_MESSAGE"></div>and then created the javascript routine
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function setAppItem(val)
$x('LOGIN_MESSAGE').innerHTML=val;
function doLogin()
var err = false;
if($v('P101_USERNAME') == '' || $v('P101_PASSWORD') == '')
    setAppItem('You must enter a username and password.');
    err = true;
if(!err)
    doSubmit('Login');
</script>
Thanks

Setting application items through javascript

Is there any way to modify application items using javascript? I would work with page items, but I need something that is guaranteed to be in the session state.

Oh yes, I know that. Well here's the exact problem (I've posted threads on it from a couple different angles previously):
- I am trying to open a popup with a report region such that I can send a query to the popup some how, without doing a page submission of the parent page.
- The current method I am using is to send the query by URL, but I'm reaching the limit of URL length, and it's not a particularly secure solution.
- My latest idea was to pass-by-reference (what this thread is about), but this presented a couple of problems.
1) I could set a parent page item dynamically by JS, but the only way I know of loading the information automatically in the popup is using onLoad -- but that's too late.
2) I could use session state, but I risk Region condition: javascript is enabled?, page session items are not set until a page is submitted, and application session items are not accessible by JS.
I was thinking that maybe there is some way of accessing browser session state with JS, but I guess not....

Issue with Setting Application Item

Hi All,
I have an issue with setting the value of application item G_USER_ID as part of the login process.
I use customized authentication for login. I have created an application item G_USER_ID, and in my CUSTOM_AUTH procedure, I am setting its value as APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_USER_ID', l_user_id);
For some reason, the value is not set to G_USER_ID the first time I login. When I log out and login again without closing the browser, the value is set. Note that I even tested with a static value instead of l_user_id like APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_USER_ID', '5555555'); but still fails to set during the first login.
I hope someone can guide me as to what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks!

Set application item from javascript?

Hi!
Is it possible to set an APPLICATION ITEM from javascript? If so can some one please point me to the thread, or a FAQ or an example, etc?
Thanks!
Dave Venus

dvenus1,
Sure. In the script below I check variables and populate based on what I find...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function Populate_fld()
var formVehicle = document.getElementById('P9_HIDE_VEHICLE').value;
var formState = document.getElementById('P9_HIDE_STATE').value;
var formTag = document.getElementById('P9_HIDE_TAG').value;
var formName = document.getElementById('P9_HIDE_NAME').value;
document.getElementById("P9_VEHICLE").value = formVehicle;
document.getElementById("P9_TAG").value = formTag;
document.getElementById("P9_STATE").value = formState;
document.getElementById("P9_VISITOR_NAME").value = formName;
if (formState = " ")
document.getElementById("P9_STATE").value = "FL";
</script>
Keep Smiling,

Generic proceeding for setting application item's value from javascript?

For the moment, all I can think of is a javascript function calling an on-demand process that looks like this:
function setVariableValue(pName, pValue){
var gReturn;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=odpSetVariableValue',0);
get.addParam('x01',pName);
get.addParam('x02',pValue);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
odpSetVariableValue
begin
execute immediate ':' || wwv_flow.g_x01 || ' := ' || wwv_flow.g_x02;
end;
Is there an APEX function to do it without "execute immediate"?
Igor

Hello Igor,
I think you can do the same thing without actually executing a PL/SQL Process (look here for an example).
function setVariableValue(pName, pValue){
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=dummy',0);
get.add(pName, pValue);
var gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
(The Application Process dummy doesn't really exists...).

Application Computation to populate Application Item

Hi all
(Version 4.0.2).
I'm trying to populate an application item using an application computation (On new instance / SQL Query returning Single Value). In principal this works - only at a later point than I would expect:
I've got a page with charts which use the application item (userid) in the where clause. However, when I enter the page, the charts claim 'no data' - only after submitting the page (via a button) the item population seem to happen, because after this, I get the expected data.
Do I have a wrong concept expecting the app-items to be populated when the user creates a new session and be readily available when entering any page?
If so, what is best practice to achieve the desired behavior?
Many thanks
Tino

Hi Tino,
As the following book excerpt from "Easy HTML-DB Oracle Application Express: Create Dynamic Web Pages with OAE" by Michael Cunningham & Kent Crotty says:
"On New Instance is an application level computation and should be created as such. It can be a little confusing since this computation point is available when creating a computation at the page level. However, do not use the On New Instance display point on application pages. These should be defined as an Application Computation in Shared Components. When an On New Instance computation is created at the application level, it will be executed during login when the session is created in HTML DB. A good use of this type of computation would be to read a cookie from the user’s browser to set some application level items."
You can populate the item on page load by configuring the source section in the item attributes or by means of a dynamic action on the event "Page Load.", for example.

Sergio

How to Obtain the Value of a ***Global*** Application Item from JS

If we declare an Application Item, i.e. NOT a page level item, how do we obtain the value of that Item in a JavaScript Dynamic Action on a page?
For example, we declare a "global variable" as an Application Item named DEFAULT_AJAX_SEPERATOR and set its value with an Application Computation "On New Instance" At some later point, on a page in the application, we'd like to obtain the value of DEFAULT_AJAX_SEPERATOR via JavaScript.
The page* level item syntax...
$v( 'DEFAULT_AJAX_SEPERATOR' );...does not work. I do understand why this is as $v can only access items on the page. However, APEX is clearly able to obtain such global values since, for example, they are available in PL/SQL blocks. Also, I know it's on the session object because I can see it when viewing the session.
So...what's the secret sauce for obtaining that value?
Thanks,
-Joe

Hello Joe,
>> on a page in the application, we'd like to obtain the value of DEFAULT_AJAX_SEPERATOR via JavaScript … So...what's the secret sauce for obtaining that value?
The secret is to define a global JavaScript variable and set it with the value of the item, using Substitution String notation. For example:
var default_ajax_separator = &DEFAULT_AJAX_SEPERATOR.This code should be placed in the Function and Global Variable Declaration field, under the JavaScript section of the Edit Page. As we are talking about a global JavaScript variable, it will be available to every other JavaScript code on the page.

Arie.

Setting focus to a menu item in New Form Instance...

Dear All,
Please let me know how to set focus to a menu item in New Form Instance trigger,
so that as the user opens the form control should be with the menu item and not with the First item of Data Block.

To my knowledge you cannot set input focus to a menu item.
Alternatively you could create a push button and put input focus there.

Problem with application item and session state

Okay, let's see if I can explain this problem coherently.
I have a small app (one page), with an application item, F_WHERE_CLAUSE.
This page has three regions in which there are items that the users can populate for search conditions. A couple of these items are "select list with submit" (I still need to upgrade to the AJAX method, I know). There is another region which has one hidden field, called P1_WHERE_CLAUSE. This field is defined to "Always, replacing any value in session state..." with source type of "Item (application or page.....", and a source value of F_WHERE_CLAUSE with no default value.
I have a button called "Search" which submits the page and fires a PL/SQL process which builds a where condition based upon the other page items and stores the value to the application item F_WHERE_CLAUSE (correctly).
For testing, I've made the P1_WHERE_CLAUSE field visible so that I can see what's going on. I've also clicked the debug and session buttons to help trace this. After I click the "Search" button and the page submits, debug shows:
0.02: ...Session State: Save "P1_WHERE_CLAUSE" - saving same value: "1=1"
followed later by:
0.05: ...Session State: Saved Item "F_WHERE_CLAUSE" New Value="lower(primary_class) = 'rock' and country = 'Spain'"
The field P1_WHERE_CLAUSE displays with the correct search criteria as signified by F_WHERE_CLAUSE above. However, If I click the "session" button to view the session state values, P1_WHERE_CLAUSE shows up as:
P1_WHERE_CLAUSE Textarea 1=1 U while F_WHERE_CLAUSE displays the correct value still.
The reason this "problem" came up, is that this page also has three SQL report regions which use &P1_WHERE_CLAUSE. for the where condition. While they display the correct results on-screen, each report region also has the "Export to csv" enabled, and the export seems to be using the "1=1" condition (from the "session" window) instead of the search criteria that the on-screen region is using (F_WHERE_CLAUSE and the displayed P1_WHERE_CLAUSE), resulting in a retreival of all records.
Anybody have any idea what's going on and why, and how to get the csv export to use the correct value for the where condition?
Thanks,
Bill Ferguson

It appears the "Export to CSV" functionality requires the item value to be set in session state. The P1_WHERE_CLAUSE item value never gets saved to session state. The page is rendered and the value is put in the item on the page but until you submit the page session state doesn't know what P1_WHERE_CLAUSE is.
Create a before header computation or process to set the value of P1_WHERE_CLAUSE (which will save it to session state). It is interesting that the report regions didn't need to look at the value in session state but the "export to csv" does.

Setting the value of an Application Item (setting a global variable);

In APEX 3.2.0.00.27, I need to initialize a global variable to 0 to implement a variable for testing to see if anything on the page has changed. Will update to 1 when certain select lists on the page are changed. Have read through some similar questions and replies within the forum as well as other blogs and sites. So, I believe what I am doing is the way to go about this. Unfortunately, my initialization of an application item/global isn't happening yet. here's a rundown of what has been implemented:
1) created an application item, G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW in the shared components;
2) created Javascript (JS) function called by addLoadEvent in the page html header region so when the page loads, the G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW global/application item should get set to 0 with the following JS and using AJAX and htmldb_GET:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initVars()
alert("before get initvars");
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,null,22);
get.add('G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW', 0);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn){
alert(gReturn.value);
get = null;
alert("after get initvars");
alert("before call to initpage");
addLoadEvent(initVars());
</script>
I've used the htmldb_Get with success for populating other global variables and running On Demand Processes with onchange JS calls in the html form element attributes within select lists on the page. Afterwards, I can check the globals via the Session window and searching on Application Items. Unfortunately, I'm missing something because my G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW never gets populated when I load the page. The alerts all popup when the page is loaded, so I know the script is being executed when the page loads. the alert(gReturn.value) comes back undefined. And, needless to say, the G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW to 0 is not occurring.
I've tried the htmldb_Get with it calling an application process and without (set to null). From what I've read, you shouldn't need to call an on demand process to have the get.add set the global variable. Then again, this could be where I'm going wrong. however, as I've mentioned, this works for other functions called from an onchange to populate an application item, but the page has already loaded when the onchange(s) get executed. They may work because the page is already loaded when the onchange is called. My point here is that my other On demand processes are NOT setting or changing the global variables at all. The globals are getting set with the get.add(<app item>, <value>) portion of my other JS functions within the HTML Header region. So, I'm inclined to believe that I don't need the 'application_process=<some_odp>' parameter set, but if that's not true, please let me know. if so, what would need to be in the on demand process--ie, what would be the purpose of the get.add(<application item>, <value>) if I set the global variable in the on demand process because that's the only thing I could think of doing within an on demand process for this?
If somebody can point out what I'm not understanding or failing to do here, that would be great. I'm doing fine with APEX, but wouldn't consider myself a guru with it just yet. I'm definitely not a JS/AJAX guru, and when things like this go astray, I get bogged down because I'm not sure of the problem. So, I'm hoping you gurus who monitor this forum can get me going in the right direction.
thanks,
bob

Hi Jari,
Does that javascript work if you place it some of region footer on page 22 ?Yes. I cut it out of the html header of the page, and put it in the footer of the first region on the page. It initializes the variable. Putting it into the footer of the first region on the page should work for me instead of having an extra region on the page that's being picked up from page 0.
Is your page 22 authentication public ?No. This particular page is set for an ADMINISTRATOR only. That said, I am logged in as an administrator. So, I cannot see why setting authentication should make a difference as long as I have that authentication/authorization. Also, there will be other pages where I want to use this script or a similar script, but again, those pages will not be open to the public. the authentication will be "role" based where a user will not necessarily have to be an administrator, but they will have to have a certain role to access the page. Is there a known problem or something that precludes a html header JS script from doing an addloadevent when authentication is NOT public?
thank you,
bob

Problems when creating a new instance of an Input parameter for a REM

I am working in a small demo which calls a Remote Enable Function Module in order to read data from the back end system. Since the function module I need to call ("BP_BUPA_SEARCH_BY_USER") is not Remote Enable I created a copy of it and made it Remote Enable ("Z_BUPA_SEARCH_BY_USER"). I have created the model within webdynpro without any problems but when my application reaches the line where I create a new instance of the object Z_Bupa_Search_By_User_Input (see below the source code), just before to call the remote function, the application stops there. I have exactly the same code in another bapi calls and it works fine. I am wondering if my problem has anything to do with the fact the function module i am calling is the function module I created. Any advice is very welcome.
Regards,
Diego.

How to set an Application Item from PL/SQL

I am attempting to set an Application Item
After login to my app, I want to retrieve a row from my SETTINGS table and populate some Application Items with the settings information so that I can
display some of that settings information on every page.
Just to start, I created one Application Item named F106_YEAR
I then created a Shared Components Application Process which executes on New Session: After Authentication
I created this process as an Anynomous PL/SQL block.
declare
aucyr varchar(4);
begin
select year into auctyr
from settings;
:F106_YEAR := aucyr;
end;
I've tried a couple of other Syntax tricks attempting to reference the Application Item F106_YEAR from within PL/SQL (like V('F106_YEAR') but nothing seems to be working.
I'm sure that I am missing something simple. Can someone tell me how to set an Application Item from PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance.

I'm still doing something wrong because this is not working for me.
I've tried both of the following versions as an Application Process set to run on New Session after Authentication:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
:F106_AUCTION_YEAR:=auction_year;
end;
and I also tried:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (p_name, p_value);
end;
F106_YEAR is a global Item (shared components).
The select statement works just fine in SQL*PLUS so I know that it is correct.
If I run the debugger and log into the application, here is the output. Shouldn't I see my Application Process get called if it is set to run on New Session after Validation?

Setting application level item during authentication

We’re having an issue with an application level item that we set during our custom authentication function to store a role list for authorization. The issue is that the application level item, which should be set using htmldb_util.set_session_state(‘ITEM_NAME’, p_item_value), is not being set.
On further investigation we realised that this issue was only affecting developers, not users of the application. This seems to be because the home page link, set in Shared Components > Edit Security Attributes, is set to “f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.”, which means that the developers session was being passed to the application when the “Run Application” button was pressed. What then happens is that following the successful execution of the authentication function, a new session id is generated and visible on the URL and the Application Level Items are not set correctly.
Examples:
I’m developing an application on Apex that has the home page link set to “f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.”, here’s the first part of my URL at the Application home page:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=4000:1:1065658352862710::
I hit “Run Application” and get to this URL (note the session id is the same)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=16033:1:1065658352862710:::::
I log in using any old username and password (the auth scheme on this demo app always returns true) and I get to this URL (note the session id is different):
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=16033:1:1403999736046638
My application level item is not set and I start to cry. When I recover from my tearful episode I try to log in again, I hit logout and get taken to this URL:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=16033:1
I log in again (with the same username or different, it doesn’t matter) and low and behold, my application level item is set ok. This is the URL I can see (note another new session id):
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=16033:1:4917752800353335
In despair, I close my browser window and go to my other application, this one has got the home page link set to “f?p=&APP_ID.:1” (no session id passed).
I log back into Apex as a developer and go to the application home page at this URL:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=4000:1:131988631742187::
I hit “Run Application” and get to this URL (note the session id is missing):
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=19114:1::::::
I log in using any old username and password (same deal as before) and I get to this URL (new session id):
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=19114:1:4320851658879093:::::
Amazingly, this time the application level items are set first time.
What I’d like to know (there is a purpose to this) is:
- Why is a different session allocated to the application after login, when a “developer’s” session id is passed to the application?
- If I remove the session id from the home page url what is the impact? I can’t think of anywhere within the application that this is used (other than between page 101 and the home page), but our thoughts are that this could mean that users end up generating more sessions on the server.
- Is there any other way around this, perhaps using a different method of setting the application level item? The authentication procedure which sets the item reads as follows and mimics our authentication procedure (which you can assume does a little bit more than just returning true):
function test_login
(p_username in varchar2 default null,
p_password in varchar2 default null) return boolean is
begin
htmldb_util.set_session_state('F16929_SYSDATE', to_char(sysdate, 'DAY'));
return true;
end;- Has anyone else encountered difficulties with the setting of application level items during login or has anyone come up with a more ingenious plan for passing something back from authentication that can later be used for authorisation?
Thanks
matt

Scott,
Many thanks for the response.
We've found a way around this now, by changing the developer's usernames to the same as their NT/ Active Directory signon, which fools APEX into maintaining the session id from their builder session even though when logging into the application they get authenticated by LDAP.
Using a post authentication process would be ok but I can't see any way of passing a variable retrieved in the authentication process under the first session to the post authentication process so that it can be set in the second session. We'd either therefore have to insert the data into a table and read it back or add an extra LDAP call to retrieve the user role/ group list during the post authentication process.
Thanks again,
Matt

AJAX / Javascript Problem with Application Items

Hi all. Another question which as been bugging me for a while and I cant find an answer on any of the Guru's examples.
This is what I am doing. I am setting an application item in an Application Proccess to either T or F.
I then need to do a IF statement in Javascript based on this result.
if (html_GetElement("SP_CHANGE1").value == 'T')
alert("This is true, we should show the date"); }
else if (html_GetElement("SP_CHANGE1").value == 'F')
alert("False"); }
SP_CHANGE1 is the application item. In session state (by clicking session application items etc) the correct result is displayed.
So my question is, very simply :) How do a get the application item? The html_GetElement etc dosnt seem to work.
Just a heads up. I have also tried setting a page item instead of an application item, and even though the result in session state is correct, I can see to do the condiditon because the page asnt submitted?
Anyway, thanks for your time.
Sam

Under topic "Application Item Tags" you will find the text:
Items followed by two asterisks (**) are available in stand-alone applications you build in LabVIEW.
And in the list that follows you can see that Options under Tools menu have two asterisks.
I have now changed my application so it uses a custom ini-file instead. In future programs I think I will do as you described. I just discovered that LV8 has new features for creating and configuring ini-files so that's probably how to do it.
