Table validations

i have couple of pages where i have an editable table. when user edits table data, i need to do some validations on values entered. these validations depend on other values of fields in row. table is based on a VO / Data control which is entity object based. sometimes i have to enable or disable a row and some fields depending on values of fields in a row. besides this, i have an action menu. i have to enable / disable command menu items depending on values of fields in row. what is the best practice / place to implement such validations. should these be kept at business components or view layer. jdev 11 1 1 6

Validation is part of the business logic so it should be defined and enforced there. However (and this it what the framework does), some validations are better done in the UI as you otherwise need a roundtrip to the server.
Next you have to think about the ui experiance the user have. If you disable fields right after he enters a value into another field it might disturb his thinking (e.g. he entered the wrong value in a field which causes other fields to get disabled). On the other hand users might like this as they always see what they can do and so see the error right away.
It depends on the use case and the users how to do the validation. From what I read out of your use case it'll be a mix.

How to use the :$PROFILE$ token in a table validation value set

Hi Community,
Let me explain the scenario.
We have a Flex Value Set (CLIENTES SERVICIO DIRECTO) with a table validation, included in the PO Headers DFF, which shows a LOV with the Ship-to addressfrom the customer which we want to serve the goods; i.e. we are acting as a commisionists and the supplier puts the goods in the Ship-to address of the customer.
This Flex Value Set, as I mentioned, have a table validation, with the following validation table information:
Table Application: Oracle Receivables
Table Name: RA_ADDRESSES_ALL a, RA_CUSTOMERS b
Table Columnns: b.CUSTOMER_NAME Varchar2(20), a.PARTY_LOCATION_ID Varchar2(20)
Where/Order By: a.CUSTOMER_ID = b.CUSTOMER_ID
Additional Columns: a.ADDRESS1 "Dirección"(20), a.CITY "Ciudad"(10)
If we translate this to a SQL code:
select a.address1,
a.city,
a.party_location_id,
b.customer_name
from ra_addresses_all a,
ra_customers b
where a.customer_id = b.customer_id
and b.customer_id = 6283 <--- This last condition clause is for narrowing the result to the interested customer.
This select retrive us two records; for the same customer, one of them for one organization_id (let's say 85) and one of them for the other organization_id (84).
What we are looking for and want is that the LOV, which actually display the two records, shows only the ship-to site of the customer that belongs to the organization_id which belongs the user who queries or creates the Purchase Order.
I.e. Suppose that we enter to Purchasing using the responsibility assigned to the Operating Unit or Organization_id 84. We want that theLOV only shows the Ship-to Site from the customer that belongs to the Operating Unit or Organization_id 84.
I believe that we can achieve this using the :$PROFILE$ token, but we do not know how.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hi Rcana,
We have just test your suggestion and it works. We believe that the correc sentence was fnd_profile.get('profile_name'), but the value feature solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

How to use a bind variable in a table-validated flexfield

Hi,
I want to prepare a table-validated descriptive flexfield, which uses as source a select statement.
So, in the form "Validation table information" I use as table name the statement:
(SELECT my_procedure('test_value') FROM DUAL)
Up to here it works fine.
But instead of 'test_value' I want to use the value of a field in the form or a value of another flex (using $FLEX$ bind variables).
Please advice if it is possible to perform this in "table name" statement. I use it in "where/order by" clauses and it works fine.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have posted in the place where you did advise,
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2560192
but they reply there that this is an EBS question, with no much relation to dev tools in general.
Please, can I continue in this place with this question?
Thank you.

Table Validation - Report errors without losing changes

Hi all,
I am experimenting with table validation based on Denes Kubicek's example at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:41. I have had no problems getting this working,
but I need to stop if loosing data when the validation rules are not met.
If I have 10 rows in my table and the user updates 6 of these with valid new values and 1 with an invalid value then the submit button causes the error message to be shown as expected, but the page / table reverts back to the data from the databse and all the other changes are lost.
How can I get the page to keep the entered values when the page is refreshed?
Thanks,
Martin

Martin,
You may need to replace the validation using JS. JS equivalent for Denes e.g.
Put this in page HTML Header..
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_validate()
     var comm;
        var dept;
        var err ='';
     for (i=0;i < document.wwv_flow.f02.length;i++)
     comm = document.wwv_flow.f07.value;
     dept = document.wwv_flow.f08[i].value;
     if (comm > 2000 && dept == 20)
          err = err + 'Error at Row ' + i;
if (err == '')
doSubmit();
else
alert (err);
document.wwv_flow.f07[0].focus();
</script>
Change the 'Submit' button target to URL and type javascript:f_validate(); as URL Target

Hari

Validate a value against table validation value set within PL/SQL

Hi,
I am trying to import price list lines along with Pricing attribute values.
I have to validate the uploaded values against the pricing attribute value set, before I import them into base tables.
Value set defined is of type table validation.
I wanted to know if there are any public APIs that can be used to validate the value against the Value set values within my PL/SQL procedure
Also please point me to documentation that lists various public PL/SQL APIs
Regards,
Mrutyunjay

You can find functions and procedure for Value sets in packages FND_FLEX_VAL_API or FND_FLEX_VAL_UTIL.
Example : get_table_vset_select gives you the select statement of your value set. Executing this statement will allow you to validate your values.

Jdev 11 Table validations bug.

Validation errors on ADF editable table fires only when you change a row by clicking.
If you press any submit button they disapear.
Also validations dont fire if you navigate to a diferent row by pressing Tab key.
is this a bug?
Is there any way that these validation errors do not disapear when i press any button?
details:
[http://adfbugs.blogspot.com/2009/08/table-validations-bug.html]

Hi,
don't think this is a bug because you perform sever side validation that is not existing on the client. So this validation only happens when you change the row currency on the binding layer, which is not happening when you use the tab. To see this error immediately you would need to assign a submit event when leaving a filed. So if you set autosubmit=true on your cell component renderers then this fires quite happily (but who wants to pay the price for this ?)

Table validation question

Hi
I have created 2 tables zposition, zwork.
The fields in zposition is department and position.
The fields in zwork is empid, department, position, firstname and lastname.
I wanted to create a validation that when i insert the data into the zwork, the system will automatically check against the zposition tables for the department and position that was store inside it. How do i do it?

in ur zwork table where u find the fields department and position..
in the table fields of zwork just put the cursor on this field say department and click the key button(on the top) it will propose for a check table and in there give the zposition table relavant field department.
the answer is there in ur question itself ...
// check against the zposition tables for the department and position--> u need to propose the check table on that field .
so all in ur are validating the zwork department entry with zposition department field..

Qualified Table - Validations

Hi ALL,
I have field in the Main table, where I need to run a assignment on this field, based on the validation results from qualified table (qualifier).
Lets say field in Main table is " Global Status " ; Qualified table ( qualifier field - plant status).
if plant status = Z3 then Global Status is Active --> i can have more than one qualified links and may the Plant status= Z3 is first qualified link or last qualified link.
Is this possible?? to writie a validation for the same.
please revert to me asap.
thanks,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
As per my understanding, I think this is possible to run a validation if plant status = Z3 then Global Status is Active.
This validation is true if any of the qualified links has Plant Status = Z3, either this is 1st Qualifed link or last and fails only if none of qualifed links has plant status = Z3.
As you are running Validations this should run as expected. Further on the based of Validation result you can run assignment.
I also feel that you can also run Assignment directly if any of the qulified link has plant status = Z3 then populate Global status = Active as Global status field belongs to main table not qualified table.
Just check and revert with result as I dont have MDM installed on my PC so would able to check it tomorrow from my end.

Internal table validation

Hi,
i have a situation like this.
db table
CODE........NAME
A123 |      AAA
B234 |      BBB
internal table 1 is
code | name|   group|
A123 | AAA   | M
A123 | AAA | N
B234 | BBB | M
B234 | BBB | N
B234 | BBc | L
B234 | abc | L
C234 | ccc | K
INTERNAL TABLE 3 IS EMPTY
after validating internal table with my db table, 2nd internal table would contain all the matching records with db table only though other fields are different.
INTERNAL TABLE 3
code   name   group
A123 | AAA | M
A123 | AAA | N
B234 | BBB | M
B234 | BBB | N
your help would be appreciated.
thanks,
kranthi.

select all ur data base entries in to itab_data base.
add one more field in your first internal table (itab1)
say it will look like this.
code
name
group
flag
loop at itab_data.
itab1-flag = 'X'.
modify itab1 where
             code = itab_data-code
             name = itab_data-name.
endloop.
delete itab1 where flag = space.
you will be left with only entries which are in your data base.
I am sure you can do it many (better??) ways , jst an idea while sipping my tea .-)
I hope you like too :-).
