Sub Tab Region Personalization

Hi,
Is it possible personalize sub tab regions? The OA Framework Personlization guide says "Limited properties of SubTabs, such as Rendered, may be personalized at the Admin level but not at the end-user level." But when i login as sysadmin and try to personalize the page i dont see any option to personalize the sub tabs.
My requirement is to disable couple of sub tabs(6 sub tabs exists in all and 2 should be disabled) in a OA Fwk page shipped by Oracle for a specific responsibility say "A". For responsibilities other than "A" all the 6 sub tabs should be enabled. Can this issue be fixed through personalization?
Thanks, Suresh.

I think, this can be achieved by the following:
1) Create custom menus (that is a copy of the seeded menus releated to the responsibilty)
2) Then check the tabs in the menu (weather it is a prompt or submenu)
3) Remove the prompt or submenu from the menu
Just removing the prompt will work in your case.
Also remember to keep all the submenus and functions like as it in the seeded menus to avoid future error while accessing some functions (This is Oracle recommendation)
All the best...and let me know if any..
Thanks

How to handle sub tab region action

Hi All,
How do we handle sub tab region actions? I have a requirement where the page is supposed to get refreshed when "Products" subtab is clicked. This tab is in the subTabLayout with id QotHdrSubTabRN.
Regards,
Shreyas

Hi,
Could you please elaborate a bit more on this. This subTab is on the standard page and not on a page I have created. So I'm not sure how exactly to set the Action Type to fireAction.

Error while showing data in sub tab region

Hi,
I have created a custom OAF page with three Tabs
Device Details
User Privileges
Chart Templates
Under "User Privileges" There is a summary page which shows all User details records. When user click on "Update" icon control is delegated to "Update Page". Under update page I have two tabs
Devices
Organizations
Initially the data of selected user is loading successfully but when I click on "Organization" tab I am getting all user record instead of the selected user record only.
I debug the code and found that When I click on "Organization" tab the User_ID become null.
How to handle this ?
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Sharma

Hi Keerthi,
I debug the code and found that when I clicked on "Organization tab" the same page i.e. "User Privileges" gets called again.
When "User Privileges" page is getting load first time the values User_id is passed from summary page.
but in case on "Organization Tab" I am not passing any value when I click on "Organization tab".
Do I need to pass value again ?
Another thing is in processRequest I am firing query on VO based on USER_ID. Every time this will be called.
Can you please suggest me Best Practices for this ?
Thanks,
Ajay

Disable a Sub-Tab in a SubTab Layout Reagion

Hi OAF Gurus,
I have a page having sub-tab layout RN. Based on certain condition we need to disable (render but not clickable) some sub tabs.
(____subtab1______ (__subtab2 (made read Only)_____ (___subtab3_______
So the user can now navigate to subtab1 and subtab3 but he/she cannot click on subtab2
The Sub tab regions do not have "Read Only" property defined in JRAD(where I thought to put a SPEL) nor I could find any API to do it via code. May be I missed something.
Please help me achieve this.
Thanks
Chaitanya

Chaitanya,
Set the render property of the container region inside the required subtab to false. The subtab header name is a link by default, hence you can't stop it from being clickable or have a look at javadoc to see if some api exists.

Sub-pages in a tab-region

I'm working on Oracle 9iAS release 2. And I have to set up a company portal.
The first page (the root page) should show/contain a banner, a region with 4 tabs and a footer. My problem is that in one tab I want to create something like a content area. I have three or more topics and for each topic there should be a possibility to add items (like a document management system).
Well as far as I know the only possibility how I can manage this is through pages and subpages. However if I display a subpage in the tab-region and this subpage itself contains other subpages (like in a hierarchy) and I click on one link to a subpage, the subpage opens in a whole new window. But I want to open the subpage only in the tab-region... (like html and frames)
Is there a possibility to manage this??
Thanks

Have you tried using a page portlet? I don't know what you asked support (if you provide the TAR number I can look it up), but a page portlet allows you to navigate through a series of subpages while remaining in the context of the containing page. The presentation of the page hierarchy will remain within the tab containing the portlet.
One caveat: if the pages viewed through the portlet use a template, they must all use the same template.

How to find number of subtabs in the in the sub tab layout

Sub Tab is loosing focus

Hi All,
I have a Sub Tab Layout with 5 tabs in it. Each sub tab has an advanced search region.
The page loads correctly with focus on the first tab. I am facing a problem after switching between tabs and any event (Go / Add) is fired on the page. If the Go or Add button of the Advanced search region is clicked, The tab with the greatest index that was accessed is displayed to the user with the First tab being highlighted.
Eg:
If when the page loads i switch between the first three tabs of the five without triggering any event(just switching between the tabs) an I get back to the first tab and run a search or add a new search criteria, The tab displayed to the user is the 3rd one with the first tab being highlighted.
Not sure what is goin on or why this is happening. went through some threads and have implemented the following code in the process request..
OASubTabLayoutBean subTab =
(OASubTabLayoutBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("MainRN");
subTab.setSelectedIndex(pageContext,"CustomSnltyHdrRN");
OALinkBean link = (OALinkBean)subTab.findChildRecursive("LinkCustomSeas");
link.setSelected(true);
"CustomSnltyHdrRN" is my first tab region ID &
"LinkCustomSeas" is the link ID for the first Tab.
How can I resolve this? .. Kindly help ..
Thanks and Regards,
Dean

Many ways to do this but I actually suggest a different path
then trying to concern yourself with the FocusManager.
You say it submits to a MySQL server. Are you using a
Middleware server or submitting directly to a local server.
If you are making webservice or remoteObject calls then you
can send the ID back in the return and have that trigger another
call to get the data and place it into your dataProvider. Or even
better might just want to have it send that record back along with
the id.
If you are not using any type of Middleware I would suggest
you do. Otherwise you may just want to write a stored procedure
into the MySQL Database so that when the submission happens it
inserts it and then automatically performs a select on that record
and sends the query back.
This way the same script that submits the form can be waiting
for the returned data to inject into a dataProvider that your
second Module is ready to use.
The dataProvider could simply be a valueObject or you could
use the command pattern to pass data back and fourth.

Sub tab portelts not displaying

When I create sub tabs, the portlet on that tab does not display the first time it is diaplayed. I have to move to another sub tab and then back before it will display.
Has anyone seen this?

Hi,
we're experiencing the same.
Environment:
Portal 3.0.6.6.5 on Sun Solaris
Test Case:
- set property 'display as portlet' for page (e.g. Oracle Portal Navigator)
- create tab in second region on test page (page has two vertical region)
- create page portlet on this tab for Oracle Portal Navigator (which has multiple tabs)
Then the first time the tab is render no content is displayed as described by David.
Thanks, Tony

Can not update tab if its not the default sub-tab.

Can not update tab if its not the default sub-tab.
JDeveloper Version 10.1.2.1.0 (Build 1913)
Hi. I have a problem with a lovOpenWindowAction
The UIX is created with a master UIX and have several sub-tab that is included as UIX-pages.
The lovOpenWindowAction lies in the included UIX-page
The sub-tab I have a problem with has a table with users. Then I have a Create New button than I want to click on and select a new user that should be included in the table in the sub-tab.
When I click on the button I open a LOV-window. Here I select the user that I want to add.
In the LOV Action-class I save my new value in the database. Then in the method onLovUpdate I update the iterator with the new values from the database.
But in my GUI the subtab is not updated until I click on it.
But if I make the subtab the default subtab then it all works just fine and the GUI is updated directly.
Here is the code for the tableAction in the subtab. This code lies in an included UIX-page. Target is the table id.
<tableActions>
<button text="Create New" id=" createNewRollperson" accessKey="N">

hi,
Change the condition type to manual entry.
or
for example delivery costs will be different at the time of PO and actual delivery costs then at the time of invoice we select planned delivery costs and settle them first with the actual delivery cost.

Problem creating a new row when using tabbed regions

I am new to JHeadstart and ADF and have been using the evaluation version of JHeadstart (in JDev 11.1.1.3) to judge its efficacy for a new significantly-sized application. As part of that evaluation I have created a small application (you can do this with HR schema using say the Departments table) with a single entity and VO. On JHeadstart I have then placed some of the fields into multiple Item regions within a Tabbed region on the same page and below the Group (layout style Table, Table Overflow Style below With Splitter). Existing rows display fine and I can view the data on the separate tabs.
However, if I try to create a row, I can fill in the data on the main region, but if I fill in data on the first tabbed region I cannot switch to the next tab without an error being generated.
e.g. using Departments - fill in DepartmentId and DepartmentName on main region, fill in ManagerId on first tabbed region and try to switch to second tabbed region to fill in LocationId:
Missing mandatory attributes for a row with key null of type HRModule.DepartmentsView1
Attribute DepartmentId in HRModule.DepartmentsView1 is required.
Attribute DepartmentName in HRModule.DepartmentsView1 is required.
If you save, then you can navigate.
You can also demonstrate something similar (different error message but probably the same root cause) on the myJHSTutorial demo. If you navigate to an employee off the regions page and try and create a new employee (using the '+' button below the 'Employees' label), then the tabs are not refreshed and any attempt to change the tabs results in an error
Failed to validate a row with key oracle.jbo.Key[999 ] in HRModule.EmployeesView3
Attribute Salary in HRModule.EmployeesView3 is required.
Salary must be between 6000 and 12000 for this job.
The JHS devguide does not help. Any thoughts? I can send the HR sample if you wish.

OK, I was able to reproduce this. The problem is that when you switch tabs, a partial page request is send to the server which does not include the items filled in the table row itself, hence these items are not updated in the underlying view object row.
Solution is to have a partial trigger at the table or group level listening to tab events. We will add that to the next release, but you can also apply the fix yourself by adding the following lines to the stackedRegionContainer.vm template:
#if (${JHS.current.pageComponent.tableLayout} && !(${JHS.current.pageComponent.hasOverflowInline}))
## when creating a new row in a table, and using overflow right/below, when switching overflow tabs
## the items filled in the table itself must also be processed as part of JSF model update phase, to
## prevent required item error when clicking another tab in overflow area
## we can enforce this by making the whole group listen to tab events
#ADD_CUR_GROUP_PARTIAL_TRIGGER("#REGION_ID()Tabs")
#end
Add these lines just before the line starting with
<af:${elemName}

Submitting a Form in a Spry Tabbed Region

I have a spry tabbed region with 6 tabs.
I have constructed a menu which targets and opens the specific tab using the ?tab=4 type notation. I have also created links between tabs using the same notation. All works fine.
I have a form in one tab which, when I submit it, I want to return to the same tab. However when I use the notation <form action="index.php?tab=4" > the page just reloads on the first tab, stripping off the ?tab=4 part of the url. I have searched the forums but can't find any reference to how to target a specific tab when submitting a form.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
John

Hi
Thanks for your patience.
Because there are 8 tabs on this page there is a lot of code, much of it irrelevant, so I have copied below the chunks which relate to this part of the page.
When the form is submitted the data being returned from the database is correct and is loaded into the page. It is just that the page loads the first tab and you then have to click on the 'Results' tab to see the data which has been returned.
Ok, from the top of the page the php code which filters the recordset is as follows;
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
// recordset for results
$var1_rsCompResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET["event_ID"])) {
$var1_rsCompResults = $_GET["event_ID"];
$var2_rsCompResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET["age_group"])) {
$var2_rsCompResults = $_GET["age_group"];
$var3_rsCompResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET["gender"])) {
$var3_rsCompResults = $_GET["gender"];
mysql_select_db($database_connPublic, $connPublic);
$query_rsCompResults = sprintf("SELECT tblResults.result_ID, DATE_FORMAT(tblEvents.event_start_date, '%%Y') AS year, tblResults.event_ID, tblEvents.event_name, tblResults.age_group, tblResults.points, tblIndividuals.forename, tblIndividuals.surname, tblIndividuals.sex FROM tblEvents INNER JOIN tblResults ON tblEvents.event_id = tblResults.event_ID INNER JOIN tblIndividuals ON tblResults.individual_ID = tblIndividuals.individual_id WHERE tblResults.event_ID = %s AND age_group = %s AND sex = %s ORDER BY tblResults.points", GetSQLValueString($var1_rsCompResults, "int"),GetSQLValueString($var2_rsCompResults, "text"),GetSQLValueString($var3_rsCompResults, "text"));
$rsCompResults = mysql_query($query_rsCompResults, $connPublic) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsCompResults = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCompResults);
$totalRows_rsCompResults = mysql_num_rows($rsCompResults);
?>
then the links to the Spry Assets and the js which creates the datasets is as follows;
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

var dsAgeGroups = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("competitions_age_group_data_xml.php", "root/row[event_ID = '{dsCompetitions::event_ID}']");
var dsGender = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("competitions_sex_data_xml.php", "root/row[age_group = '{dsAgeGroups::age_group}']");
</script>
Then the html which creates the tabbed region is as follows;
                  <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
                      <ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">

                      <div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">

Q:How to set the inactive 'sub-tab' text color?

On portal.oracle.com I created my own Page Style (changed the
color scheme) from the default and then added 'sub-tabs' to the
Group Docs tab. Now when you click on Group Docs you see four
'sub-tabs' underneath it. The problem I am having is that on the
inactive tabs the text is not what I set when I created the Page
Style. It appears to be reverting to color of the original Style
which was created for my Portal. Any suggestions?

do it like this
g.setColor(255,255,255);//this will set the color for the canvas
g.fillRect(0,0,ht,wd);//this will fill the rect(screen) with the above color,actually this will be BG color for ur app..ht,wd are the height and width of ur canvas...
now specify color for the text
g.setColor(r,g,b);//this color shud ofcourse be diff frm the color set for BG
now draw the string
g.drawString("xxx", 0, 0, ....);

Sub Tabs not displaying correctly

We are having the following problem with a 10g install.
A page group has been created. A custom style for the page group has been associated with the page group.
The style has been edited - tab properties. Custom colors and fonts have been allocated to the active and inactive tabs.
At the top level (i.e. level one of the tabs) everything works as expected. The tabs are correctly using the custom colors and font styles for both active and inactive tabs.
The problem is with tabs below this top level (i.e. sub-tabs). The inactive tabs appear as they should. The active tab however is not using the correct font. The color however is correct. If I view page source I see that the tab in question is using <font class="SubTabBgTextid1siteidXX"> whereas the tabs that are working correctly use <font class="TabBackgroundTextid1siteidXX">.
I notice that the other tabs on the same sublevel use the correct <font class="TabForegroundTextid1siteidXX"> style.
So portal is using the class "SubTabBgTextid1siteidXX" whereas it should be using "TabBackgroundTextid1siteidXX".
Please advise on how to change the properties for "SubTabBgTextid1siteidXX" as we cannot find anywhere other than the tabs general properties when editing the page style.

This looks like a bug. I did some testing and found a potential issue with INACTIVE subtabs (specifically INACTIVE subtabs don't appear to pick up the Font Face and Font Style selections made as part of the style definition). For me, INACTIVE subtabs always seemed to render using a Arial, Helvetica Font Face and a bold Font Style (but seem to pick up the Font Size, Font Color, and Font Decoration settings). Is this what you are seeing?
TOP LEVEL TABS
Active Tab - TabForegroundTextidXXXXsiteidYY
Inactive tab - TabBackgroundTextidXXXXsiteidYY
SUBTABS
Active Tab - TabForegroundTextidXXXXsiteidYY
Inactive Tab - SubTabBgTextidXXXXsiteidYY

Scrollbar in a tab region

How to display scroll bar in a tab region? I have a portlet in a tab region that has got lot of contents. Is it possible to display scrollbar just for this region so that I can still see the tab?

Hello Manikandan,
The most easy way to do it is to use a style. I have put last month a little tip about that in my blog:
