Unable to use field value as link icon in linked column

I am building an interactive report which includes a linked column. I would like to display an image link which is based on a value in the row named ICON. On the Report Attributes tab, in the Link Icon field of the Link Column attribute, I have set up the Link Icon definition to be <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES##ICON#" alt="">. It resolves the #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# substitution string, but does not resolve the #ICON# placeholder. The only workaround I have found is to build out the entire href string as part of the query and simply display it as a field in the report. However, I would prefer to use the attribute method as it is much cleaner. Can anyone tell me if this is possible or have I hit a bug? Thanks.

Hi,
it works the same if you put the placeholder into your column attributes of the ICON-column in your dynamic report. As I read your previous post again, I came to the conclusion you want to use the column in the more "general" "Link Column" of your interactive report. I agree that you can choose the column from your report using "Pick Dynamic Query Column", but the substitution will not work. I'm not sure whether the bug is the non-working substitution or that the Picker-widget is provided, since you don't have the column as a javascript link below the text field as you would have in the column attributes. I think it's not intended to be possible to reference other columns in that context, but you'll either have to put the reference into the actual column's link attribute or use a static image for all links.

Instead of using image in a link column can we have button with name?

Hi,
In Apex , in report region instead of using image in a link column can we have button with name?
Thanks,
Anoo..

From your wording, it sounds like you used the built-in column link within APEX. You will need to edit your column and remove that so that the column is only containing the definition that is coming from the query (you can also just change the alias used for the column and then the old column with the link will be removed and the new alias will be added against your new button column).

Unable to capture field values in Master agreement Line Items

I am trying to get the field values from master agreement line items page. I have written the following code to get the line item details which is working fine to capture part number and quantity->
agreementBean = doc.getRootParentIBean();
lineItemCollection = agreementBean.getLineItems();
collectionsize = lineItemCollection.size();
for(i=0;i<collectionsize;i++){
     collectionbean = lineItemCollection.get(i);
     partNum = ""+collectionbean.getPartNumber() ;
     Quantity = ""+collectionbean.getQuantity();
     throw doc.createApplicationException(null,partNum + " , " + Quantity );
Now, my problem is that I am unable to capture the following field item values in the master agreement > line items page.
1. Price Unit
2. Unit Price
3. Product Category
4. Plant
Please help me to find the values.
Thankx in Advance.

This will return the name of the plant.
.getExtensionField("PLANT").get().getDisplayName(session);
Check if this returns the product category
collectionbean.getExtensionField("ITEM_CAT").get().getDisplayName();
This will Return the Price
collectionbean.getExtensionField("PRICE").get().getPrice();
(return type :BigDecimal)
This will return the currency
collectionbean.getExtensionField("PRICE").get().getCurrency;
(Return type:String)
Similarly to retrieve other fields for which there are no standard functions, use .getExtensionField("Field ID")
Hope this helps

Kindly let me know where i am going wrong. MaterialNumber field is a TEXT not a lookup table field. Above fields are from the main table.
Thanks,
Raags

Hi Friends,
I got the solution. It was the error because of not having a the below statement.
limitingCommand.setPageSize(1);
As i havent used that statement, it was trying to get 1000 records, and i dont know exactly what makes this to get that error. Anyhow., As i want to use for updation, i cn live with one record.
Thanks,
Raags

HOW TO USE field value in repeat_fram formate trigger

i have a field on report layout. i want to use its value in formate trigger to filter the record in which that field value is zero.
field is number type, getting stock of item. i want if stock of item is zero than it should not display, for this i use formate trigger of repeating frame.
Thanks yash

Format trigger is for change the formation of value. Like change the font, make it bold,italic, changes it's colour . Not for filtering.
If you want to restrict your report not to show Zero(0) value of stock , you have to done it at SQL query. Like, if stock is a database filed you may write
select .........,....
from table
where stock >0Hope this helps.
If someone response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Using Field values as part of PDF output file

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to use information in the *.dat file to create the name of the *.pdf file which will be sent (by email) to our customer automaticly.
So let say there is a field "GLOBAL ORDNO" with a value "1042193" in the datastream and I want to have the PDF to have the filename "confirmation for order 1042193"
Is this, or a similar construction, possible?

You would have to write your own program, perhaps using VB, to locate the ^GLOBAL ORDNO line and then extract the data from the next physical line. The program would then put this data in the jfserver.ini file as the value for one of the User#= variables (such as "user1") that are defined there. Then the jfmerge step that creates the PDF could reference that variable (-zc:\temp,@user1..pdf). I've never used the user variables so I don't know that you can reference them like that but the manual seems to indicate it will work. It would be easy to test by manually changing the jfserver.ini file to see if it is possible. If it works, then the custom agent to extract the value and set the variable could be written. (Manually changing the file may not work because I see that the manual indicates these variables are reset at the beginning of each job, but it also states that default values can be defined within the jfserver.ini file - testing will let you know.)
Check out the "Creating a Custom Agent" chapter in the "Working with Central" manual. In my Windows version 5.5 manual it is section 6 and starts on page 45. This not only tells what is required to set up Central to run the agent but explains about the user variables. Section 4 in the same manual explains about using substitution variables.
Unfortunately, if you aren't a programmer it may be difficult to create the custom agent to extract the value and create the "jetform.rsp" file for setting the variable in the jfserver.ini file. We have many custom agents but none do anything like this, though it would be a simple program to write.

-When VJOB_NO is replaced with :MyCol which exists in both the file and the table, it works fine.

Yes, that works like what I currently have in production, with the CASE instead of DECODE though.
Just like the current temporary solution, VJOB_NO is loaded into RETRIEVAL_STATUS, then RETRIEVAL_STATUS is reduced.
I hope to be able to define VJOB_NO as FILLER, then place a value into RETRIEVAL_STATUS based on the value in VJOB_NO.
Any other suggestions?

Folder level script? How can I use field value as a pdf filename in save as dialog box

I read somewhere that if you use a folder level script, you can do things like save a pdf with a specific filename - possibly based on a field name.
How would one set up a folder level script?
How do you execute a script from the PDF?
What code would you use to change the PDF name to the contents of the fFieldName text field?
Or, is this really just impossible to do?

The article is interesting. It suggests you place code like this:
// Page Replacement Function
var ReplaceLastPage = app.trustedFunction( function(cPath) {
app.beginPriv();
this.replacePages(this.numPages-1, cPath); app.endPriv();
In the trusted folder. What is the path of the trusted function(s) that get automatically loaded into Acrobat?
I assume in the example above, function(cPath) is a function inside of the PDF...

How can I use field value as a pdf filename in save as dialog box

Hello,
I want to use a submit/save button and once you press that the document is automatically named like a field in that document,
e.g. their is a date field in PDF, When I click Save button in PDF Then the file name in Save As window is automically entered. Like "09/08/2012.pdf"
I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks a lot for all your help,
I really appreciate it.

Hello Ebnul.nao
I am having this same problemwith trying to work this out.
Did you succeed in the end?
I will really appreciate your help if you did
Kind regards

Unable to use the values returned by a PL/SQL stored procedure in a XSQL page

Hi,
I've been messing around with XML and XSQL in particular. I was trying to write a xsql page to display a report with account totals...I have the following .xsql which calls a PL/SQL stored procedure :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsql:query connection="pfcdm" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:set-session-param name="zasset_total" value="100">
<xsql:dml connection="pfcdm">
rraman.sp_vw_id(zasset_total,zinvm_total,zmkt_val);
</xsql:dml>
</xsql:set-session-param>
select 'Asset total is {@zasset_total}' as "ASSET_TOTAL" from dual
</xsql:query>
My procedure sp_vw_id returns the values that it should. But, I am not sure how to declare variables within a page, and to output the return values. There is very scanty documentation on the usage of <xsql:dml> or <xsql:ref-cursor-function>.
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raja

Here is the example from the Oracle9i (complete rewrite) of the XSQL Chapter in our Oracle documentation.
Question
I using <xsql:dml> to call a stored procedure which has one OUT parameter, but I was not able to see any results. The executed code results in the following statement:
<xsql-status action="xsql:dml" rows="0"/>
Answer
You cannot set parameter values by binding them in the position of OUT variables in this release using <xsql:dml>. Only IN parameters are supported for binding. You can create a wrapper procedure that constructs XML elements using the HTP package and then your XSQL page can invoke the wrapper procedure using <xsql:include-owa> instead.
For an example, suppose you had the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addmult(arg1 NUMBER,
arg2 NUMBER,
sumval OUT NUMBER,
prodval OUT NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
sumval := arg1 + arg2;
prodval := arg1 * arg2;
END;You could write the following procedure to "wrap" it, taking all of the IN arguments that the procedure above expects, and then "encoding" the OUT values as a little XML datagram that you print to the OWA page buffer:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addmultwrapper(arg1 NUMBER, arg2 NUMBER) IS
sumval NUMBER;
prodval NUMBER;
xml VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
-- Call the procedure with OUT values
addmult(arg1,arg2,sumval,prodval);
-- Then produce XML that encodes the OUT values
xml := '<addmult>'| |
'<sum>'| |sumval| |'</sum>'| |
'<product>'| |prodval| |'</product>'| |
'</addmult>';
-- Print the XML result to the OWA page buffer for return
HTP.P(xml);
END;This way, you can build an XSQL page like this that calls the wrapper procedure:
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-owa bind-params="arg1 arg2">
BEGIN addmultwrapper(?,?); END;
</xsql:include-owa>
</page>This allows a request like:
http://yourserver.com/addmult.xsql?arg1=30&arg2=45
to return an XML datagram that reflects the OUT values like this:
<page> <addmult><sum>75</sum><product>1350</product></addmult>
</page>

Use field value in xml binding expression

Hi all.
I'm trying to access dropdownlist selected value from a binding expression.
I have a dropdownlist called rooms which is bound to some XML data. When the selection changes I woud like to access that value in another dropdownlist called members which is also bound to some XML data.
The expression I tried is:
$record.room.[roomname==$form.company.mainform.rooms.rawValue].member[*]
I'm calling this code on the rooms.changed event (alsop tried on rooms.exit event):
members.execCalculate();
Aparently $form.company.mainform.rooms.rawValue doesn't return the selected value of the rooms dropdownlist.
Is there a way to get the selected event from a different form and re-calculate binding of the field?
thanx

Binding is not dynamic ...meaning that it is set when the form is rendered and cannot be changed on the fly.

Arrow mark with kunnr field values in alv output.

Hi ,
I need to increase the column field length. I am using Function Module REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY because alv_grid display fm is not available in 4.0b version. I have used column optimization in layout. The column kunnr is coming with a small arrow though there is no data loss. Is there any way I can remove the arrow mark with kunnr field values.

Hi,
You can increase your column lenght in fieldcat by using Fcat-columnwidth = "SIZE OF KUNNR ".
Set the size of kunnr field in fieldcat and get the appropiate output.

Sometimes when companies need to develop complex reporting, it's a sign that the chart of accounts, the AFF is obsolete, and it makes sense to change it rather than work around it.

Unable assign a BPM Object field value to a JSP Variable using "invoke"

Hi,
I'm unable to retrieve a value returned by a BPM Object Method and use it in JSP. Here is what I'm trying to achieve:
BPM object named : "myObject" has a method "getRequiredValue" which returns a "String". I want to assign the value returned by "getRequiredValue" to a JSP Variable "myVariable" using invoke method as below:
<% String myVariable = ""; %>
<f:invoke var="${myObject}" methodName="getRequiredValue" retAttName="myVariable"/>
<% out.println ("myVariable: " + myVariable); %>
When I execute the above code I don't get the value being returned by "getRequiredValue" into "myVariable".
Any help would be highly appreciated!
regards,
MK

1. Make sure you mark the "Server Side Method" property of the getRequiredValue method to "Yes".
2. I guess you dont need to specify "<% String myVariable = ""; %>". Try removing it.
3. Replace "<% out.println ("myVariable: " + myVariable); %>" by <c:out value="${myVariable}"/> just in case!
4. Lastly, I hope "myObject" is the name of the instance variable in your screenflow, and not the BPM object name.
Hope this helps
