Few Projectproperty and Listproperty fields returning empty values (CrossListQueryInfo)

I am running a CrossListQueryInfo and the ViewFields for the CAML includes
<ProjectProperty Name="Title"/>
<ProjectProperty Name="Url"/>
<ListProperty Name="Title"/>
<ListProperty Name="DefaultViewUrl"/>
I am getting empty values for Url and DefaultViewUrl, although it is returning Titles correctly. Is this some limitation or I am missing something?

I Feel I have to say this... Just a thought: have you received legal
advice on whether the "data sent by email is not secure" disclaimer

BAPI return empty element.

Guys,
I have created one scenario SOAP -> BAPI (sync).
BAPI
ZMMF_GET_COMPANY
My BAPI have 10 elements and 9 return with values.
But i have 1 element with name "text1" and one return empty value always.
When i execute the BAPI using tcode se37, "text1" return value, for exemplo "test test test".
But when i execute in RFCAdapter, "text1" return empty value.
Can anybody helpme me?

Hey
I had the same issue with a standard BAPI some time ago.
The way BAPI is triggered in SE37 is different from the way BAPI is triggered when a request is send from XI.
suppose you want to fetch business partner data based upon business partner number,now this partner number has been configured to be of length 10 in BAPI,now suppose you execute the BAPI via SE37 and give the partner number of only 6 digits then 4 zeros will be padded and the partner number will be made of all 10 digits,but if you send a partner number of 6 digits from XI then no padding is done hence no records are pulled up(since partner number must be 10 digits and you have only 6).
Please try to test this and make sure you are giving correct values.
Thanx

Function not returning right value

I have this following function, based on the return value from this function, I am inserting a row into the GROUP_MAP table.
This function is returning a value greater than zero even though constrains would not let it select any rows.
It looks as if it is not applying the "AND STRING_CODE = String_Code" constraint to the result set. If there are two records matching the groupOID I passed it is returning two as the count(*). I checked by executing the query directly and I got 0 as the result. I sounds so strange. Is there any thing I am doing wrong ?
Thanks in Advance,

I refuse to read all of that code and guess what error message you are getting. Apparently others feel the same way.
Run the final SQL statement and then cut and paste the code and full error statement into a post.
Also include your full version number to three decimal places.
My refusal is not an unwillingness to help you but rather an unwillingness to spend 10 minutes reconstructing what you could have pasted in in a fraction of a second. We are all volunteers here and there are many people that need help. I hope you understand.

Hi,
It doesn't look like you posted either the complete query or the complete error message (including line number). Try again.
"single row subquery return more then one row" usually means you are using a sub-query in a place where a single expression is expected, for example the column called avg_sal in this query:
SELECT ename
,       sal
,       (SELECT AVG (sal) FROM scott.dept WHERE deptno = e.deptno) AS avg_sal -- Scalar-sub-query
FROM    scott.emp e; The error occurs when the sub-query returns more than one row
If the sub-querry really is supoosed to be returning only one row, the solution is to fix the sub-query, usually be adding something to the WHERE clause.
If the sub-query is supposed to return more than one row, then the main query has to be re-written, perhaps as a join.
Post a little sample data and the results you want from that data if you need help.

When orientation change and soft keyboard is activated, return wrong value

Hello,
in a View, when the orientation change and the soft keyboard is activated, this.navigator.height return wrong value.
systemManager.stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, orientationChangeHandler);
public function orientationChangeHandler(event:StageOrientationEvent):void {
inp.text=String(this.navigator.height);
thanks.

Can you attach a simple sample application that demonstrates this? What device are you seeing this issue on?

HELP-Why won't this function return a value

I want to get this XML data OUT of the function, but it just
won't work. What I am doing wrong??? Tracing "xmlList" gives me the
output i want IN the function, but if I can't get it OUT. If i set
the function to "String", I still can't get the function to return
a value or anyway to get this data OUT of the function. Please
help.
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("data/imagesT.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):String
xml = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = xml.children()[0].child(2);

It won't though. Tracing xmlList outside (i.e. after it runs)
the function produces null with the function set to void. Inside
the function tracing producing the correct data.

I Need to Return Two values or more from Function, Is this possible?

Below is the offending query, I am trying to pass v_bu and v_po to this function, and after validations then return v_count and v_action is this possible in a function? I am having problem returning two values.
see below code
function po_edi_func(v_bu purchase_order.business_unit_id%type,
     v_po purchase_order.purchase_order_number%type)
     return number as pragma autonomous_transaction;
     v_count               number;
     v_ctdel               number;
     v_action          varchar2(1);
begin
select count(*)
into v_count
from sewn.purchase_order
where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po;
if v_count > 0 then
     select count(*)
     into v_ctdel
     from sewn.purchase_order
     where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po
     and purc_orde_status = 1;
     if v_count <> v_ctdel then -- ALl PO's Cancelled--
     v_action := 'U'; -- - NOT ALL PO DELETED --
     else
     v_action := 'D'; -- DELETED ALL PO--
     end if;
else
     v_action := 'I';-- New PO INSERT--
end if;
commit;
return v_count;
end;

Paul,
This is becoming a nightmare to me, can you look at the below and tell me where I am having a problem
This is the Function below
CREATE OR REPLACE function po_edi_func(v_bu sewn.purchase_order.business_unit_id%type,
     v_po sewn.purchase_order.purchase_order_number%type,v_action_out OUT VARCHAR2)
     return number as pragma autonomous_transaction;
     v_count               number;
     v_ctdel               number;
     v_action          varchar2(1);
begin
select count(*)
into v_count
from sewn.purchase_order
where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po;
if v_count > 0 then
     select count(*)
     into v_ctdel
     from sewn.purchase_order
     where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po
     and purc_orde_status = 1;
     if v_count <> v_ctdel then -- ALl PO's Cancelled--
     v_action := 'U'; -- - NOT ALL PO DELETED --
     else
     v_action := 'D'; -- DELETED ALL PO--
     end if;
else
     v_action := 'I';-- New PO INSERT--
end if;
commit;
v_action_out := (lpad(v_count,8,'0')||lpad(v_action,1,' '));
return v_action_out;
end;
and this is how I am calling it from my trigger which has to pass the v_bu and v_po values to be used in extracting data and returning the records
see below
if po_edi_func(v_bu,v_po) <> '' then;
v_count:= (substr(v_action,1,8));
v_action := substr(v_actione,9,1);
else
v_count:=0;
v_action := 'I';
end if;
I need the extracted values of v_count and v_action for my app to reset some values

How to define null or empty value in BAPI function modules?

Hi,
I have problem with BAPI functions, where some parameters are mandatory.
For example: when I try to use HR BAPI's(BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE, etc.) I have to insert parameters like SUBTYPE,OBJECTID,LOCKINDICATOR. The PA0002 table that is used from this BAPI doesn't have SUBTYPE, OBJECTID, LOCKINDICATOR, for any of the records that I would like to select.
So what I tried, was to put a ' ', to indicate that is empty. It returned an error message saying "Make an entry in all required fields". Next tried to put in some values for these fields -- and it returned an error message saying "No data selected from 0002 for this period".
I also tried to run BAPI_FAMILY_CHANGE that uses data from table PA0021. Here I found some records with SUBTYPE, OBJECTID fields that were not empty, but LOCKINDICATOR was still missing. So I tried to put LOCINDICATOR value directly in to database (with MS SQL Enterprise Manager). After that I was able to use BAPI_FAMILY_CHANGE.
I think that manually inserting data in database is not normal procedure.
Is there something that I have missed out?
I mean -- how can I get this to work without inserting data directly in database?
How can I define null or empty value in BAPI function modules?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Mihail

Defining an empty value for a parm in a table is easy.
First get the function's definition from the SAP system
Second only populate the fields for which you have a value to set
Third execute the function.
The JCO takes care of the rest.
Enjoy

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

How to check the sql:query is return null value

I have use :
<sql:query var="sql1" dataSource="${db}">
select col_name from table_name
where a=<c:out value="${row.test1}"/>
and b='<c:out value="${row.test2}"/>'
</sql:query>
So, how can I check this statement return null value which is no record within this table?

The Result should never be null but can be empty. You can check if the Result is empty using an if tag and checking the rowCount property:
    <sql:query var="books"
      sql="select * from PUBLIC.books where id = ?" >
      <sql:param value="${bookId}" />
    </sql:query>
     <c:if test="${books.rowCount > 0}">
     </c:if>http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSTL7.html#wp84217
Look for query Tag Result Interface

Checking For An Empty Value

Here's my script:
on run
set AdiumStatus to ""
set AdiumStatusType to ""
tell application "System Events"
count (every process whose name is "Adium")
if result = 1 then
tell application "Adium"
if my status type is available then
set AdiumStatusType to "Available. "
else if my status type is away then
set AdiumStatusType to "Away. "
else if my status type is offline then
set AdiumStatusType to "Offline. "
else if my status type is invisible then
set AdiumStatusType to "Invisible. "
end if
set AdiumStatus to (get my status message)
end tell
end if
end tell
return AdiumStatusType & AdiumStatus
end run
If the user hasn't set a custom message status, the script fails when trying to return "AdiumStatus." How can set the script to where if "my message status" is empty, an empty space is added so it doesn't fail? I tried the following to no avail:
If my status message is not "" then
set AdiumStatus to (get my status message)
end if
But this fails, saying "No result was returned from some part of this expression," and the quotes are highlighted.
Any ideas? And how do I format code I post here, BTW?
Thanks!

Nothing at all? Wow, that's pretty impressive. You would appear to be dealing with a broken AppleScript implementation, there; when you request something that doesn't exist, most programs tend to treat that as, you know, an error or something, or at least return the "missing value" value. Returning something that undefines an existing variable isn't reasonable behavior. (Time to file a bug report, methinks.)
One way or another, you're going to have to work around this. Given your result, there, it looks like kel's workaround is the way to go. To put it in the terms of your variables:
tell application "Adium"
set AdiumStatus to my status message
end tell
try
AdiumStatus
on error
set AdiumStatus to missing value
end try
That will give you the status message if it exists, and give you the missing value otherwise. (Which, as I have said, is useful -- when it is time to do something with the result, you can test for it and tell whether the value was set. If you just use an empty string, or some other specific value, then you can't be sure that someone didn't actually set the value to that specific value...) That would look something like this:
if AdiumStatus is missing value then
display dialog "No status message was set."
else
display dialog "The status message was: " & AdiumStatus
end if
The only other workaround which occurs to me would be to rely on the "exists" keyword, as in
if exists my status message then
set AdiumStatus to my status message
else
set AdiumStatus to missing value
end if
but if the application's implementation is already broken enough to return a complete blank without comment, there's no reason to believe it will handle "exists" properly, either.

This CONVERT_AMOUNT_TO_CURRENCY is returning empty value
