Unable to create LOV

Hi, I'm new to APEX and following the 2Day App Express Dev Guide for version 3.1.
On pages 4-15 to 4-18 is explained how to create an LOV. I followed all the steps without any problems but the LOV doesn't show on the screen.
Any idea what i'm doing wrong or i'm overlooking?
The installation of the oehr app went without any problems.

Hi Menno,
You may want to review the steps in section Editing Items to Display as Select Lists, on pages 4-17 & 4-18, to ensure that you have edited your items correctly to display as Select Lists, and also associated those items with the relevant LOV. These Select Lists are based on the LOVs that you created in the previous steps on pages 4-15 to 4-17.
For example, if you edit the P4_JOB_ID item, verify that you have associated the 'JOBS' LOV with this item. When you edit the P4_JOB_ID, go to the List of Values region, and ensure that the 'Named LOV' field is set to 'JOBS'. When the page is run, the "Job" field should now appear as a Select List, with all the job titles listed.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

  • Unable to create LOV (Select List)

    As per the dev. guide, I am trying to create a Parameterized Report. When I tried the example given in the guide it works for the sample application. But when I try for my application (based on HR data) it does not work.
    The steps I am following are same as dev. guide.
    a) Create a New Page
    b) Create the Query Region
    Here I am giving the following query :
    Select e.first_name,e.last_name,e.salary,e.job_id,d.department_name
    from employees e, departments d
    where e.department_id = d.department_id
    and ( d.department_name = :P700_SHOW or :P700_SHOW = 'ALL' )
    c) Adding an Item
    But here when I select an Item as "Select List" and when I move to the page "Identify List of Values", here for the field Named LOV, it does not populate with any value, like it does for the sample application.
    Also if i try giving the above query in the text box (List of Values query), it does not allow me to move ahead and throws follo. error:
    " LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query."
    Can some help me on this? And also I am not able to understand, that for this exercise (parameterized report) why they have taken only sample application and not helped the dev. to create its own.

    Hi,
    You need to set up a "Named LOV" - go to Shared Components=>Lists of Values to create a LOV for the departments. This should be a "Dynamic" LOV, using the following SQL:
    select department_name d, department_id r
    from departments
    order by 1
    Give it a name like "DEPTS_LOV" and this will then be available for your select list.

  • "Unable to Create Fonts" Messeage

    On my new laptop with Vista installed, After Effects CS3 was running fine until one day on startup it displayed only a pop-up saying "After Effects error Unable to Create Fonts". Clicking "ok" removes the popup but the program does not start up. The task manager reveals that the program is still running in the background but using little memory. Killing the process allows for trying to start the program again but the results are the same.
    I uninstalled the program and went back to 7.0 which started up fine just once and then displayed the same error.
    Is this a Vista compatibility problem? What actions can one take to resolve the problem?
    Thanks.
    PS I had similar problems with Premiere CS3 (albeit with a generic error message) and had to fall back to an older version, this however keeps running fine.

    Well, none of it really got me closer to resolving the problem. Thank you for the pointers anyway. Both AE and Premiere don't start up at all now. I ran the Adobe cleaner etc.
    I used to really love After Effects but I fail to see the appeal of a program that is this incompatible with the system it is installed on and the other programs that may be installed. I also don't get this incompatibility with fonts, as After Effects is supposed to be a compositing program, and as such highly suitable for creating titles for which one uses... fonts.
    Is Adobe dictating you to have AE and Premiere CS3 running exclusively on a machine all on their own?
    The programs are pretty much useless to me now.
    Maybe I need to set up my OS all anew, but I just don't have the time right now to back up all my settings etc.
    Thanks for the help so far but this CS3 business has proven to be a lot of trouble and extremely buggy.

  • Getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.

    Dear All,
    I am trying to add Form Value item to the Message Component Layout region through personalization.
    I am getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.
    While I am able to add Message Text Input, Message Lov Input items without any issue.
    Same issue will appear if I add stack layout region.
    The requirement is to add two hidden field to a Oracle supplied Message Component Layout Region( Page /oracle/apps/pa/finplan/webui/UpdateForecastLinePG
    region UpdateResourceAssignmentRN.FinSumFieldsRN)
    Please help me any work around or solution.
    Regards
    Devender Yadav

    Hi Sun,
    Thanks for reply.
    I am just trying to add Form Value item not the Message Layout Bean.
    Jdeveloper is allowing to add the messageLayout bean to messageComponentLayout (I have just tested it). It means OA Framework is facilitating it, it is the personalization Framework which may have restriction.

  • Unable to create Spotlight query for expression

    I don't want to assume that the following Console Log entry is a Spotlight indexing issue since the PID is from MAIL however the following entry appears repeatedly every minute to five minutes:
    "12/1/10 6:33:01 PM Mail[2698] Unable to create Spotlight query for expression ([email protected]) && (kMDItemContentType == 'com.apple.mail.emlx' || kMDItemWhereFroms == 'message:*'w)"
    Why would Mail try to create a Spotlight query like this, why so often, and where should I look to correct or remove the offending source?
    BTW, the noted email address has been changed for privacy. Otherwise the syntax is exact.
    Thanks

    I, too, have been seeing this same error ever since I started syncing my mail via .mac or whatever they call it these days. The whole experience has been so problematic that I've discontinued using it, but it's taken me weeks to clean up the disaster it's made of my multiple computers.
    This issue seems to be one of the last remnants of the whole debacle, and I'd love to hear any suggestions on how to clean it up without having to do complete wipe/reinstall of everything, which is pretty much all that's left to try.

  • Unable to Load Database/Unable to create database.

    RoboHelp 6.0 on my PC is suddenly unable to open existing
    projects or create new ones. The problem is not in the projects, as
    other people can unzip the same set of files and open them with
    RoboHelp on their PCs.
    The Details:
    When attempting to open an existing project (any project
    whether in version control or not), I get the message " Open
    project was cancelled or the application was unable to load
    database for..."
    I found the article that says to delete the CPD and XPJ files
    and then to use the Edit option to open the HHP file so that
    RoboHelp will recreate the two files. When I try that, I get the
    message "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
    read-only." It's
    not read-only.
    When I attempt to create a new project, the application acts
    like it is going to create one, but it just creates a project
    folder without the new first topic and then repeats the New Project
    Wizard window that prompts for title, etc. It will keep creating
    folders and returning to this window in a loop without ever really
    creating a project.
    RoboSource Control is functioning normally, by the way.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled RH 6 several times, and
    have even uninstalled RH 6 and installed to RH 5 just to see if it
    could open projects, which it does with no problems. After that
    test, I uninstalled RH 5 and reinstalled RH 6, only to encounter
    the same problem all over again.
    This started happening after I uninstalled other unrelated
    software and received a message that some Service Pack 2 files had
    been changed and prompting me to insert the Service Pack 2 CD,
    which I don't have. This is because our IT department pre-builds
    our systems from an image and then distributes job-specific
    applications over the network. IT tried repairing Service Pack 2,
    but that didn't work. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall Service
    Pack 2, but the IT person says it's too risky on a system that was
    built from an image.
    We would like to find out
    which files RoboHelp is looking for when it launches a
    project so we can replace those files manually. Does anyone
    know what they are or have another suggestion that might fix the
    problem?
    Otherwise, I am stuck having to allow IT to rebuild my
    system. That means reinstalling and reconfiguring everything on it,
    just as if I were upgrading to a new PC. This can take a whole work
    week. However, I have already spent close to a work week on this
    problem, so maybe rebuilding would save time in the long
    run.

    Problem Resolution = HHA.dll
    For anyone who might be interested in the resolution to this
    issue, we did rebuild my PC and reinstall all of my software. The
    RoboHelp installation "complained" that I did not have HTML Help
    Workshop on my system and told me to download version 1.4 from
    Microsoft. I did have HTML Help Workshop..it's in my programs list.
    (It's not listed in programs on my co-workers' PCs, and they were
    not having problems, by the way.) But to make RH happy, I
    uninstalled the workshop and tried to install the version from
    Microsoft. But a message informed me that I already had a newer
    version of the workshop on my system, and I was back where I
    started. I could open projects, but there were weird problems.
    Selecting Topic Properties was met with an error message, and when
    the properties window opened, I could only see whatever template
    was assigned (or none if the topic had lost its template), and
    there was an extra section for Oracle help.
    So I started dinking around in the registry to see if I could
    get rid of any traces of the workshop so I could install the
    version RH wanted or to find any other clues to my problem. Under
    HTMLHelpAuthor, there was a reference to an HHA.dll file located in
    C:\WINDOWS\system32...only the file did not exist on my system.
    (Remember that my original problem was that some Service Pack 2
    files were either modified or missing.) So I did a Google search on
    that file name and found out that HTML Help Workshop is included in
    newer Windows operating systems, but that people used to have to
    get HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, and that some people had
    made the mistake of just putting the HHA.dll file into the
    C:WINDOWS\system32 folder without also installing HTML Help
    Workshop. At this point it was obvious that I needed the HHA.dll,
    so I got it from a co-worker's PC. (Looking at the registry
    entries, I can also see that my system was built with a slightly
    different version of the operating system than my co-workers have.)
    Adding the HHA file to my system solved the problem. All
    projects but one were fine; one was still exhibiting the strange
    behavior. I fixed it by going back to the RoboHelp 5 version of the
    project and re-converting it to RoboHelp 6.
    I suspect that if I had known about the HHA.dll file before
    we rebuilt the PC, I could have solved the problem without going
    through that painful process. That is why I thought I should post
    the solution even though it was after the rebuild.

    You are running into database errors. You should refer to the database documentation on how to adjust the size your tablespaces. The online Designer installation guide will advise you as to the sizes of tablespaces you require.

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image in Lion

    Unable to create "Volume.dmg." (error - 60008)
    I have previously, successfully, created encrypted disk images in Snow Leopard, and I don't know why I can't in Lion
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for this Thomas.
    I've tried naming the image differently, but still received the error, I did however try different permutations for the password.
    The error seems to happen if I use a purely numerical password string and occurs on input of the 10th numerical character, if I start with numerical character but use an alpha before the 9th number I can continue and create a password, and I can create a password  if I start with an alpha and switch to numerals after the first alpha character, purely alphabetical passwords are fine too.
    It seems that Lion doesn't like purely numerical passwords greater than 9 characters, whereas Snow Leopard wasn't so fussy. Seems it's a bit of a bug.
    Thanks for your help

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image with Disk Utility

    Hi:
    With our upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago, we're now unable to create an encrypted disk image of any type using Disk Utility any more. This problem occurs on 3 different machines, and is reproducible whether one is using an internal HD or an external FW HD. We can successfully create nonencrypted disk images.
    This is a duplicate post with all the details here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18469359#18469359
    We haven't had any luck with a solution trying various permissions fixes as helpfully suggested by other readers in response to the error message # (-60008 error), so I'm hoping that someone else has run across a solution from the encrypted disk image perspective and that this tag line will generate some help.

  • After upgrade to CF9, CFIMAGE "Unable to create temporary file" error

    We recently upgraded from CF8 to CF9 Enterprise.  I'm getting an "Unable to create temporary file" error on
    my CFIMAGE resize calls.  We use sandbox security.  I assume I need to grant write access to whatever folder CF uses for temp files, but which folder is it?   The same code (and sandbox settings) ran fine in CF8....
    Note, if I attempt to add C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\SERVER-INF\temp to the sandbox for this particular app, CF crashes on all requests across all apps on the server with a:
    Security: The requested template has been denied access to C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfclasses\cfapp2ecfc1510154633.c lass.
    The following is the internal exception message: access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfclasses\cfapp2ecfc1510154633.c lass read)
    ColdFusion cannot determine the line of the template that caused this error. This is often caused by an error in the exception handling subsystem.
    I need to restart CF to get everything working again.

    Another update.   Had a problem with a sandboxed CF9 site doing a simple CFIMAGE READ to a memory variable.  Got an "Unable to create temporary file" error.
    Inserted the following code in the file upload page:
    <cfscript>
    writeoutput("Temp Dir : " & createobject("java","java.lang.System").getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") );
    </cfscript>
    ... and it reveals the temp directory as C:\WINDOWS\TEMP.  Added that to the sandbox, and the CFIMAGE READ is working properly now.
    Note this seems inconsistent with CFIMAGE RESIZE behavior which appears to use the CF GetTempDirectory() value, which in my case is C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\cfusion-war-tmp\
    For reference, see the section "Sandbox Considerations" at this link:

    You have to change registry settings by going through REGEDIT. Under hkey_local_machine/software/oracle/<oracle home>, look for variable REPORTS_TMP. Change value for this, for example c:\windows\temp or something like that where you want oracle reports to create temp files.

  • Unable to create image buffer after RAM preview

    Running into an odd and frustrating error. Built a comp using the new Ray-traced 3D renderer and now I'm regretting being an early adopter big time with all the problems I've been encountering with it. The latest comes whenever I do a longer RAM preview in an attempt to watch the whole duration of my comp. It will get to about 170 frames or so, at which point I've interrupted by pressing spacebar because I don't need to see all the way to the end of my work area (around 220 frames). It'll play the RAM preview back fine, and even loop it, but as soon as I stop playback, I get this error message: "After Effects warning: Unable to create image buffer." There's only one button: "okay" and as soon as I click it the same error pops up again and it will never go away, forcing me to close AE from the task manager. I've taken to saving before every RAM preview like I used to do with Flash before previewing my buggy swfs for fear I'll lose all my work after previewing. Any ideas about what might be causing this?
    Some more details about my comp:
    1920x1080 @ 29.97
    Ray-traced 3D
    About 70 3D layers (I'm guessing this is my downfall - new renderer not designed for this many layers?)

    Yeah, some buffer is very likely not flushing when you interrupt the preview and then there is no more memory on the graphics hardware. Consider setting the work area and your preview options to use only the work area. if it finishes the preview "correctly", it may not suffer the issue. Beyond that - raytracing doesn't/ shouldn't care about the number of items. The math is such, that it makes no difference whether you render a million polygons or just one. Of course there are still limitations due to the GPU dependency, but I doubt you ever truly exhaust the cards' geometry buffers. Compared to pixel data that is a small amount...
