Tabular Form With Dates Is Driving Me Nuts!

Hello,
Still new to the world of APEX/HTML-DB, and I'm pulling my hair out with something right now.
I have a tabular form that is updating a table. I'm pre-populating the date field with a default value of SYSDATE and it's 'Display as Text (Saves State'. It shows fine, but when I submit to the database all the other fields are input EXCEPT my date field which is always blank! The field in the database is set to NOT NULL, and it doesn't give me an error. Where is my date going!?
The second problem I have is that SYSDATE is in GMT, and I need CST. How can I convert that? I used the to_char(current_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI') but it always gives me an error.
Any help would be most appreciated, as this is the last thing I need to do to get my simple app up and running.

Here is an example of my trigger...
create or replace TRIGGER "bu_MY_ORDER_TABLE"
before update on "MY_ORDER_TABLE"
for each row
begin
:new.order_date := :old.order_date;
end;
-- order_date is a TIMESTAMP(6) set to default of sysdate at table level.
:>) It works great for me... Bill

Tabular form with select list not updating

I have created a tabular form with a dynamic select list
select primary_key, column1,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(10,column2, 'select descr d, column_value r from lookup_table where column_value = '||column1) column2
from main_table
The select list appears to work correctly but the new value is not saved to the database. I assume this is because the tabular form element display as field for column2 is set to "standard report column" but when I select any of the "display as text" or "LOV" options either the current data is not displayed or errors are generated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Ian,
As you have seen, sorting on the project_manager_id column will sort by the id value rather than the textual value. This is, of course, because this is the value in the field.
I haven't tried this out, but one thing that may work is the fact that you don't have to include the ORDER BY fields within the SELECT statement. You could, for example, do:
select p.project_number, p.project_manager_id
from projects p, users u
where p.project_manager_id = u.id (+)
order by u.name
Obviously, you won't be able to do this in the existing statement as you would then be blocked from using column sorting. However, it implies that if you could construct the SQL statement dynamically, appending appropriate ORDER BY strings to the end of the base select statement, you could sort by anything you like. This does, of course, mean that you would have to create a mechanism to allow the user to select the sort order, generate the appropriate string and reconstruct the entire sql statement.
I had had a similar request quite a while ago. The underlying reason for that request turned out to be that the user just wanted to quickly locate records relating to one person. In the end, we agreed that a search filter was the best thing to do.

Andy

Error tabular form with validation

Hi everyone,
I have built a tabular form with the wizard and I every time a validation check is done and fails,
getting an error in the place where the tabular form should be. I get to see the tabular form again when pressing the cancel button or refreshing the page.
I'm not quite able to reproduce this error, but I was wondering if anyone knows of this error and a workaround for it.
The error that's displayed is: report error: User-Defined exception
using Apex version 4.1.1. I've already tried building a new tabular form, but that didn't seem to resolve the issue.
I would appreciate the help.
Kind regards,
Cleopatra

Possible solution?
Validation returns : no data found + unhandled user-defined exception

Custom Tabular Form with working days by quarter

Hi All, I'm trying to create an application to improve an old excel that some people use in my office. I came across a challenge: create a page when a user can submit for each business day the amount of hours worked, the real problem is that I have to show on the same page 40 business days that need to be dynamic, I mean that there is a "period" table that has a start date and end date, the range between those two MINUS the Saturdays and Sundays should be the amount of COLUMNS that the report show.
create table CT_PERIOD(
PERIOD_ID VARCHAR2(6),
PERIOD_FY VARCHAR2(4),
PERIOD_QUARTER VARCHAR2(1),
PERIOD_START_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_END_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_DAY_COUNT NUMBER,
insert into ct_period values ('1', 'FY14', 'Q1', to_date('01-JUN-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), to_date('25-AUG-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 56);
commit;
I searched in the web for some example of this with no luck, if somebody did something like this or knows where I can see an example that would be great!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'm having exactly the same problem, I need a tabular form with days as columns to add actual working hours for each day as for each row ( task)

I solved it.
I modified a bit my code "On load Page". In case of LOV i have changed this condition
if (l == undefined) {
          document.wwv_flow.f03.disabled = true;
      }with this
if (l == 105) {
          document.wwv_flow.f03.disabled = true;
      }I don't know why 105 instead of undefined, but this works. I give 105, with alert on length.

How to build a tabular form with a by the user insertable primary key

I have build a build a tabular form with the wizzard. Wat should I do to make the primary key insertable by the user.
When I change the PK from 'hidden' to 'text field', I get a checksum error when i am trying to insert.

Fred: When you use the tabular form wizard, notice the help text on the right hand side of each page. The help page where you define the type of primary key (Existing trigger, PL/SQL function, existing sequence) clearly states
Tabular forms do not support user entered primary key values
Makes sense when you think about it. The MRU process needs to determine whether to update a record or insert a new record. It does that by comparing the checksums (and/or) pk values from when the page was first rendered and then when you make changes and submit it. Newly inserted rows will have a blank PK/checksum.
If you allow user to change the PK, how will the system know which rows are new and which ones are old?
For example, lets say you have
create table t
pk int primary key,
data varchar2(10)
)You have 2 rows
1 red
2 yellow
If the PK were to be editable, user could go in and change the above to
2 red
1 yellow
Now what? Would you like the system to create a new row with 1/yellow or change the existing pk=1 row to yellow? Same with the other row.
Bottom line: The built-in processes dont support this. You can always write your own manual tabular form and implement whatever you logic you wish in your After Submit processes.
Hope this helps.

Allow a simple form with "data" to be saved by the user.

Back in version -x, it used to be so simple. You created a form that could be read in a web browser. Users could could fill out the form and save the form to their computers with their data. Since that first version that allowed that, Acrobat has not progressed in logical fashion. In a later version, you couldn't save the data. Then in another version, you could again save the data. Now you have some nice interactive features. I appreciate the new developments and see where they could be a godsend. However, the simple thing that I used to be able to do in version -x, and the thing I most want to do, I can no longer do and it is frustrating.
Here's the situation: we have an announcement on the web for Vacation Bible School. We want to have a pdf with a form that people can fill out online and save to their disk (as their copy of the registration form) and then print out one copy of the form so that they can send it along with their check for the registration fee. Why should that be so difficult?
If it weren't for the fact that people have to send in checks, one of the fancy new options would work. But it is not applicable in this situation.
Here are my current options:
I can "distribute" an emailable form (which I don't want to do) and then explain to the user that they should not hit the "submit" button but save the file to their disk. (First rule of public relations - Don't confuse the public!) It works in the last version of REader 8+ and in Reader 9.
I can save the form without distributing it. But the user can't save it with the data!
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE. Allow a simple form with "data" to be saved by the user.
Peace and blessings
Barbara

Thanks for a quick response.
In Acrobat *8 or 9 Professional you can enable a form to be activated with the save feature.
How do you do this. When I saved the form without distributing it, and opened the form up in Acrobat Reader, the header said specifically that the data could not be saved in the form. And when I went to save it, I got the message in a popup that said "Data in this form will not be saved. Reader can only save a blank copy of this form." Then a second message (with a light bulb) said: "Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
So, if in fact I can have the form (without "distributing" it) so that the user can save the form with the data, how do I do that? Are there commands I use, options? Please let me know. I will be eternally grateful.
Also, if you edit form fields, you may remove the submit button.
The edit form fields does not offer any access to the submit button.
Best,
Barbara

Allow reader users to save pdf form with data

I want to create a form that an adobe reader user can open and save a copy as a pdf with the data in the form. I know that requires reader extensions - what i can't seem to figure out is if I already have this included and how to do it. I have LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 - which is the download I end up at when searching LC with reader extensions.
Does anyone have instructions on how to do this or know whether that functionality is available in the version I'm running?

You can add the Reader Extesnion right to save the form with data locally in two different ways.
1. In Acrobat Pro open the form and under the Advanced/Extend Features in Adobe Reader will walk you through a wizard. Once the wixard is finished, save the file and use that one. This technique is limited to 500 users by licence.
2. LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server has a User Interface that allwos you to pick the rights you want. There are no luser imitations to this option.
If you do not have either, option 1 is a lot simpler. You can download a trial copy of Acrobat Pro and try it.

Convert Adobe Form (with data) to Microsoft Word Document

Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard
Windows XP Professional SP2
Microsoft Word 2003 SP3
I am attempting to convert an Adobe PDF Form (with data included) to a Microsoft Word document.
When I use the menu to attempt this, I get a Word document containing only the form fields.
I want to be able to grab all the text from the document, as these forms were used to fill in information for Job Descriptions, and I want to submit the text to job boards (without having to retype anything).
What are my options for obtaining this information?

Bill:
Thank you for all of your help. I do not have the program in front of me, so I don't have a means of independently verifying this, until I go see the user tomorrow when he returns to the office ...
Just to confirm, a fillable PDF is different from a standard PDF, as it stores the form fields in a special way, likewise, the data is stored in a special way. This is actually a quite useful feature, for compiling data, if you use the form multiple times.
A standard export of a fillable PDF exports only the fields.
To get the data, I would have to choose to save form data.
To get the fields and the data, I have to print it using a PDF printer to create a new PDF document. Once I create this new PDF document, I can then export to Word as desired.
If I want ONLY form fields: (one-step process)
Export > Microsoft Word > %filename%.DOC
If I want ONLY form data:(one-step process)
File > Save FORM DATA > FDF file format > %filename%.FDF
If I want both the form and the data: (two-step process)
File > Print to PDF > Save as %filename%.PDF
Open %filename%.PDF > Export > Word Document
Is this the process? Pardon my confusion, but I am a newbie, and I do not have the program to test with.
Thanks for your help, kind sir.

Pdf form for data from another form with data, xml or pdf, tables not expanding

Sir,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and LifeCylce to do these forms. I have made several subforms for a Risk Assessment for the mission they fly. I have also made up another form with tables that would connect with each subform data. This form also will give me and others a % of the values received from the data to help us with seeing problem area towards Safety.
I am able to connect the data to the form from the Risk Forms but when I go and add another group of data it over writes the data that was already in the data collection form. The tables are dynamic and able to expand with the generated data but when I compile several Risk Forms, xml. data into one single data group, the receiving tables will not except this data. To compile the data I am in Acrobat and using the form-manage form data-merge data to spreadsheet than enter as a report that is xml. Still not working. I also tried to save the form, with data already in the tables, and then opened it again and add data to it, it will over write the existing data in the form. This form does work great with the generated data in LiveCycle.
Any suggestions???

Thanks Paul
Did as you said and for each subform binding tab made sure I have "Repeat subform for each data item" checkbox and still no change when I add the data.
I even tried to combine the xml data and that file just has the main page and not the data pages. just another problem that is happening.
Any other suggestions on this expanding tables and receive single forms one at a time.

Tabular form with non base table field

I want to develop a tabular form with
1. A non-base table edit field to accept a value
2. Insert/update another table based on the input value
3. Also, computed field on each row based on other fields on the records (like post-query trigger in oracle forms at block level - for each row)
Thanks,
Rachna

Thanks for your reply.
Varad, I like the link you sent me. It has a lot of good information.
I created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process" that dosn't seem to be working.
Question, I created a manual tabular form with SQL Query and created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process", then I check for each record in the tabular form. If the old value <> new value then I update/insert in the new table.
Any step by step will be highly apprciated - to create process/validation etc.
Thanks,
Rachna

Actionable Task form with data as an email in Human task implementation.

Hi All,
In one scenario in my project, I need to design an actionable task form with data as an email, and this email can be sent to specific users to actions ( like updating, approval, rejection etc). The users should be able to edit the data in email only ( not needed to login in BPM work-list). Please let me know if it is possible to design such task forms and how to push and receive data in email from user.
Thanks,

ADD ROW in tabular form with new max value for a certain field

All,
I have a tabular form with an 'ADD ROW'-button.
When a row is added the field 'TemplateID' should get
automatically a new value which is MAX from TEMPLATEID + 1.
I would be very glad, if someone has a hint for me.
Thanks in advance,
lucio

Hi
the cause of not seeing the 'Default Item Field' is,
that during creation of a 'Tabular Form' the column with the
primary key doesn't get that feature, why so ever.
I still hope that someone could give me a hint why that code isn't working:
function SetNewID(vDBID)
v_check = $v('P20_MAX_TEMPLATEID');
pNd = $u_Carray(vDBID);
     for(var i=0;i<pNd.length;i++){
          var node = $x(pNd);
          node = $x_Check_For_Compound(pNd[i])
          var lTr = $x_UpTill(node,'TR');
updateRow = lTr.rowIndex - 1;
document.wwv_flow.f02[updateRow].value=$v(v_check)
Many thanks in advance

Prefill interactive form with data upon displaying out

Hi,
Let's say if i have a web dynpro application, with a view containing an interactive form. I would like to prefill the interactive form with data by calling a webservice or thru RFC before it display the form out. So that when the form is first displayed out, it is already prefilled with data. Is this possible?
Is there any guide out there which is similar to this scenario?
Btw, currently i only managed to consume the webservice and prefill the form with data after clicking a button which will execute the webservice.

Cindy
