Updating data in Web Forms

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to update data in web forms :
* periodically (every 10 seconds for examples)
* from the server (in a trigger or something like that) for all clients connected
Thanks

Taz,
for the first a timer could do that. The second is not possible without having asynchrous message support in Forms. There are plans for such a feature but its not yet implemented

How to update MD in Web-Form

Hello, gurus!
Does anybody know it is possible to update master data in web-form?
I mean, in web-form there is a function which changes texts in characteristic, and I want to update these texts in analysis item in the same form. The only solution I found was reentering in this form. It is very inconvenient.
May be some magic spells exist to refresh MD directly in form?

Hi Pavan,
I am getting PDF form properly in browser with no values in the fields as it should be. And i have provided one User entered field, When user enters sales order number in that field and presses the submit to sap button other fields rerlated with sales order status information should be displayed with the values related with that sales order number. But after pressing Submit to SAP button i didnt get values in other fields.
Method for Submit to SAP button is also called properly. Even i can see the status information in fields outside the PDF form in Browser.
So, parheps i think that whenever PDF form loads first time in browser, at that time it shows the values in the context variable. But after first load nothing is changed in that PDF form evenif the context values are changed.
Is it true?

Updating data in adobe form

Hi All,
In my java webdynpro application, i want to show an adobe form and allow the user to update the data. Then, i want to store the form in binary in a db table.
The layout of my form is not fixed as a different form can be uploaded each time. So, all i have is the binary of the interactive form.
I have added the interactive form uielement in my view. I have bound the 'pdfsource' property to a context attribute that contains the binary of the interactive form to be shown. Also, i have chosen 'usepdf' in the mode.
Now, after the user updates the form, if i read the context attribute bound to pdfsource, will i get the updated data in the form? Or should i do anything more to get the desired result?
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
In my Project we solved the same type of situation in following Procedure.
1.) First after the User enters data in to the Form u hav to read it from the PDF
      by using this code .It converts the Data in to XML Format.
public String getData(String pdfSource) throws EJBException
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try
   InputStream pdfSourceInputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(pdfSource));
   IOUtil.write(pdfSourceInputStream, pdfSourceOutputStream);
   pdfSourceInputStream.close();
catch (Exception e)
   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
   throw new EJBException(e.getMessage());
IWDPDFObject pdfObject = WDPDFObjectFactory.getPDFObject();
pdfObject.setPDF(pdfSourceOutputStream);
ByteArrayInputStream dataInputStream =                                      (ByteArrayInputStream) pdfObject.getData();
if (dataInputStream == null)
    return(null);
else
    try
      String output = formatData((InputStream) dataInputStream);
      return(output);
    catch (Exception e)
       System.out.println(e.getMessage());
       throw new EJBException(e.getMessage());
2.) Then u can get the data from tht XML code easily & store it in the Data Base where u need.
--> For more Details watch the " TutWD_PdfObject " Sample Application from this site .
I Think It helps u lot.

Validate Data in Web Form

we want to validate data in web form in planning through Java Script Code ?
how we can do it and what is the location of that Java Script file ?
One more thing ... if we make any changes in Java Script code then is it necessary to stop and start planning server or application ?
Thanks in Advance ..... :-)

Hi,
you can resolve this problem, adding a JavaScript code in validateData.js.
For example you can change and/or insert the code in validateForm function, that save the data only if the function return true.
There are also another function and the code example in SampleValidateData.js that you can see.
You find the ValidateData.js in the folder "custom" of your installation.
For example:
/default web application directory/deployments/your web server/HyperionPlanning/webapps/HyperionPlanning/custom
I report an example for control the data before saving it:
function validateForm(){
if (equalsIgnoreCase(applicationName,"BDG"))
if (equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"1.10A ECO"))
var rowPrecVers = currentDataGrid.endRow;
var colPrecVers = 2;
var rowActVers = 3;
var colActVers = 3;
var valTotPrecVers = 0;
var valTotActVers = 0;
valTotPrecVers = currentDataGrid.fullPrecision[rowPrecVers][colPrecVers];
for(rowActVers; rowActVers < currentDataGrid.endRow; rowActVers++){
valTotActVers = valTotActVers + parseFloat(currentDataGrid.fullPrecision[rowActVers][colActVers]);
if(valTotPrecVers < valTotActVers){
alert("Ops!!!Don't match" + "\n"
+ "Previous Version: " + valTotPrecVers + "\n"
+ "Actual Version: " + valTotActVers);
valid = false;
return valid;
else{
return valid;
Insert and modify this code in validateForm function.
If in your installation use Tomcat web server, you must save the change on the ValidateData.js file each time. If you use the WebLogic web server tou must restart the service. For other web server I don't know.
Take it easy and have fun!!!

Unable to update record in web Form

Hi, i am unable to update record in a form. I am building a custom form using forms 6i and putting it on the web in oracle applications 11.5.9
I used template.fmb as a starting point for my form. I have one datablock based on a table. Insert, update and delete properties are set to yes on the property pallete of data block. The table against which i am running the form has a primary key which is a combination of two fields. I am able to update a record with pure SQL running against the table.
My form now brings back a record from the db like it should but whenever I try to update that record either by pressing Action Save or by clicking button that has update statement in it, instead of doing an update, it does an insert and tells me that this record already exists and that i entered value(s) that must be unique for each record. It thinks I want to insert but I want to update. What am i doing wrong???
Update allowed value is set to Yes in all the items in the data block and at the data block level as well. Querly_only is set to no.
What's even more frustratinng is that I've ran the form manually before starting with template.fmb and have been able to update the table but when I put it on the web and used template.fmb it stopped working!
I am very new to forms, can anybody suggest anything? Please help!!!

When you populate the 2nd block with a select into query, it's the same as just typing the data into the block. The record is treated as one needing to be inserted, not as one that is queried.
To populate it using a true query, but with data from the LOV, you can do this:
Programmatically set the default_where clause of the block based on the LOV. For example, if a name is chosen from the LOV in an item called LOV1, you could do:
set_block_property('block2','default_where','name='''||:block1.lov1||'''');
or if the LOV is a number, like a department number:
set_block_property('block2','default_where','deptno='||:block1.lov1);
The tricky part when you build your where clause is that you must surround strings with single quotes, and the way to do this is to use two single quotes to represent an actual single quote in the where clause. Otherwise a single quote is interpreted as part of the PL/SQL syntax.
Then, just navigate to block 2 and execute a query:
go_block('block2');
do_key('execute_query');
I hope this works for you. I didn't have time to test this, so I hope I didn't make any syntax errors when typing.

Need a process to update BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Cube

Need a process to update information from the BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Report Cube every (5) five minutes.
Please advise

Thanks here is Part 2 of my questions
Details:
User Input data into a web form for Intersection are the following:
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account AAAA, 1000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account BBBB, 2000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account TTTT, 4000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account ZZZZ, 7000
Design Question:
In the ASO Reporting Cube
AAAA and BBBB are both at level 0 in both cube
TTTT and ZZZZ are being loaded to a parent which is Level 1
MY Issue with the Design Question ???
ASO Cubes can only be load at a level 0.
So how can I complete this task, what are my option:
My thinking process is the XRef Calc Script could push data the cube, than by built a maxl scripts that would run the Calc script and put this scripts into some kind of system scheduler running the Maxl Scripts Every (5) Mintues
or am i way off base here ????
Please advise
Thanks in Advance

Update Access to Web forms in Planning

We have issues in all of our Planning applications, all databases on both production and development. We have had the applications in administrator mod since September. We are ready to start testing to prepare for this year's budget cycle. I created a test native user, and granted the appropriate access in Planning and refreshed the security filters. The web form is coming up read only. I looked at the filter in Essbase, and it shows as read access even though Planning has write access. I ran the Planning Access Report through Shared Services, and it shows write access to all of the dimensions to which we have security applied. According to an Oracle analyst who is working on my service request, it is normal for these to go to Essbase as read access, but the user should still be able to update data.
Since we closed the budget cycle in September, no changes to dimension security have been made, so I'm not sure why the access dropped. We tested with an existing account and had the same issue. We are on version 9.3.1. We recently applied patch 9.3.1.1.9. We did not test the web forms after applying this patch. I'm not sure if this could be causing the issues.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem, or have any suggestions?

Hi,
I faced some issue similar to this in past with version 9.2, As iam updating security on planning and it works fine for data forms when i perform security refresh.
but when user access those from excel the filters doesn't get update on EAS filters. after two hours investigation even though i update some filters on planning
side after security refresh it doesn't get affected on essbase filters. the reason when security refresh is done the filters getting in to cache memory and doing nothing on essbase, so work around is to delete one particular filter on essbase and then perform security refresh so that it gets updated.
Let me know if this is helpful and works.
Thanks,
Red

HFM - log that shows if a user has loaded data via web form or excel load.

I can see any data loads that are coming from FDM, but is there a log that shows any data entered into HFM via web forms or submitted through an excel file? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

You could enable Data Audit to capture data changes made by users, though this will not capture which method users chose to change the data. That is, HFM can show that data changed, and who changed it, but cannot tell whether the data was changed through a form, grid, smart view, or FDM. If you want to prevent users from changing data through forms, grids, or smart view, you can secure those input methods, but you cannot capture which one is used.

Allocating data in Web Form

Hello All-

Now i want users to input data in year total and allocate back to open months that is March to december on web form. As my year total has number and is dynamic calc it is marked green. How can i provide this utility to users without changing year total member from dynamic to store.

Error when updating data in a form based in a view

Hi:
i have 5 tables for enterprise data (telephone, fax and so on). i want to create a form based in all those tables, so i create a view over all the 5 tables and create the form. but when calling the portlet and trying to alter (update, insert, etc.) the data i get this error. Seems that i missed to do something with my tables but i don't know what does that non key-preserved thing mean.The error is the following:
Error: Cannot link to the module: 1901051912 ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table (WWV-16062)
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table (WWV-16016)
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table-SELECT ROWID, IDBASE,NOMBRE,NOMBRE_FISCAL,NOTAS,BAJA,RETENCION,PREVISION_PAGOS,IVA,CIF,ID_DIRECCION,IDBASE_DIRECCION,CALLE,NUMERO,PISO,MANO,CODIGO_POSTAL,CIUDAD,ID_TELEFONO_EMP,IDBASE_TELEMP,TELEFONO_EMPRESA,ID_FAX_,IDBASE_FAXEMP,FAX,ID_EMAIL_EMP,IDBASE_EMAILEMP,E_MAIL FROM PTSS.A_VISTA where IDBASE=1 ORDER BY ROWID ASC (WWV-16016)
Any help will be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

You cannot update, insert, or delete records from a form that's based on a view. That is because rowid is not in the view, so it cannot lock records.

How to email data from web form?

I need some direction please. I have created a web page (.htm) that has several textboxes, a submit and clear button. The purpose of this web page is for users of the company intranet to input data into the textboxes and then clicking on Submit will email the data to those responsible for filling the users request. The web page will be served up on the companys intranet using the Apache web server that is running on Solaris 10. It seems to me that I will need an email server, but I do not know what Sun program to install and how to configure it. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

You need an amp (apache2, mysql, PHP/Python) stack - that's exactly the kind of thing they're for. I have the exact setup you're describing at my job. I set up an intranet server where the secretaries could input client information, and then hit "submit." If they didn't fill out the form correctly, it complains at them and makes them do it over, otherwise it emails the form data to me and I input it in our database.
Php has a mail function that uses the system mailer (most likely sendmail?)

Problem in Updating data in userdefined form in update mode

Dear All,
I have a userdefined form of type Document. In another report form I have a link to this userdefined form through document number. When I click the link button I am opening the userdefined form and filling the corresponding document number details manually. But when I am changing some field values and trying to update, I am getting a error as cannot insert null into DocEntry, Insert fails. I am using UDO for database operations. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Noor hussain

Hi noor,
When I click the link button I am opening the userdefined form and filling the corresponding document number details manually.
Do you mean, you're filling the form, field by field???
If so you're doing it wrong. That way the form has no connection to the correct Database record and cannot update it.
The correct way is as follows:
Put a DocEntry field in your form and bind it to the DocEntry database field.
Set this field to NOT Visible by default.
When a user clicks the LinkButton, you change the form mode to FindMode, make the DocEntry field visible use the oForm.Items.Item("DocEntry").Specific.Value = "" method to set the correct value to the field (use the DocEntry number NOT the DocNum) and use the oForm.Items.Item("1").Click() to open the correct record.
Then the user can change the value it needs without errors.

Segment Count updated date shows a future date

Hi all,
When the cursor is moved on the Segment's count it shows future date as 'Updated Date'.
It's happening for the fresh update count of any Segment/Segment Tree in the application. When the cursor is moved on the counts of any segment which was updated in the past show correct date.
We tried doing a fresh 'Update Counts' and saving the Segment, still when the cursor moved on the count it shows a future date as updated date.
Web server and Analytics server system dates are set to correct date.
But in the Marketing Administration tool sessions show correct dates.
Any quick update/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

One section data of adobe form is not read by web dynpro code

Hi,
I am facing problem in adobe form integrated with web dynpro. Form is having Java script. There is a section in the form related to settlement rule of wbs. It can be added in the form by pressing add record button.
When I use this form offline and press add record and one section is added. I fill the data in those two section and upload on the portal to process online data in the second section is not reaby the code whereas in the first section is present there.
But if the same activity is performed online data is properly read by the code.
Could you please assist if there is any issue of saving data in the form offline and how it is handled in offline form.
Thanx..

Hi ,
Try this.
I think you have corresponding context node is in the WDP. using 'APPEND INITIAL LINE TO' just add some blank data to the context. .
Inside the form, create a table for the context node. so at run time all the empty entry will be displayed. Make this Table as hidden.
Create another Table that will display all the non empty row from the above hidden table. When ever we add / delete rows, the corresponding entry will update the hidden table. or else you can update the hidden table on the click event of SUBMIT .
Hope this will help you.
Regards ,
Shaira
