Variables to a BI Query from input form and chart?

Hi,
I have a query (QUERY A) to which I connected an input form to define the variables. The output is a chart which tells us a status overview.
Now I want to use the input form as well for entering the variables for QUERY B. This is no problem as the variables are passed through correctly. However, I also wanna filter on status by selecting the status in the chart. This does not work unfortunately.
Situation:
INPUT FORM ----------> QUERY A ---------------> CHART----------------------------
                                  |                                             |
                                  |                                             |
                                  |                                             |
                                  ----->QUERY B <--------------------------------
                                              |
                                              |
                                              ----------->OUTPUT (VARIABLES FROM INPUT FORM AND CHART}
Is this possible at all?
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Hi Jan,
I suspect that you are only partially passing the variables in two separate select events. You should be able to meet your requirement with the following approach:
1) Connect a select event from the output port of the form to the input/variable port of Query B. In the input parameters reference both the relevant form fields AND the chart fields you want to filter by;
2) Connect a select event from the output port of the chart to the input/variable port of Query B. In the input parameters reference both the relevant form fields AND the chart fields you want to filter by;
In other words, each select event link should reference the same fields from both the form and the chart.

Mustafa.

For Update Query from ORACLE Forms

Hi
We are using Oracle Forms 10g running with 10g database 10.2.0.1.0. We happend to see a query which is getting generated in AWR report like Select rowid, all_columns from TableName for Update of C1 Nowait. But no such query is really written in forms and we are aware that, Any query prefixed with rowid is definitely executing from Forms. But how the ForUpdate and Nowait clause is appended to the query.
We have checked the following properties in the database Block
*1) Locking Mode is set to Automatic*
*2) Update Changed Columns only is set to YES*
*3) Query all records is set to No (Though this particular property may not be relevant to the issue)*
What is the property or setting which might trigger such a query from ORACLE Forms with ForUpdate and Nowait clause.
Any ideas/suggestions on why such behaviour. Please have a healthy discussion on this. Thanks in advance.

you can't dynamically add a query to the data model in reports.
You should look into the XML based customization of Oracle Reports. This will enable you to define a report dynamically by creating a definition in XML.
Also another option is to have the report with a query in it and use lexical parameters in reports to pass the query definition or just the where part of it.
Look at the reports online help for both of these solutions.

How to receive parameters from a form and insert values in db using servlet

Hi friends,
My first question here.
I'm trying to create a Servlet that takes input from a form and process it and insert it in database.tablename.
My MAIN ISSUE IS WITH THE NUMBER OF COLUMNS THAT WOULD BE DYNAMIC AND THUS CANT RECEIVE THE PARAMETERS IN STATIC CODE.
Here is the form code
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<form action="Test" method="post" />
<table width="90%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Student Name</th>
<th scope="col">RollNo</th>
<th scope="col">Java</th>
<th scope="col">J2ee</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="studentname" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="rollno" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="java" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="j2ee" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="studentname" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="rollno" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="java" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="j2ee" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="studentname" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="rollno" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="java" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="j2ee" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type ="submit" value="insert values in the database now"/>
</form>
</html>
And here is the Servlet
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Test extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String title = "Module: Process Result Values from previous page";
out.println("<html>\n" +
"<head><title>" + title + "</title></head>\n" +
"<body>");
          try
               Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/","root", "root");
               Statement s = con.createStatement();
ResultSet res = s.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM dbname.tablename");
ResultSetMetaData rmeta=res.getMetaData();
int noofcolumns=rmeta.getColumnCount();
               if(!con.isClosed())
          catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception"+e);
out.println(e);
if(connectionFlag==1)
out.println("</body></html>");
doGet(request, response);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
This is the basic code structure and I'm trying to figure out this special case with handling the multiple parameters:
1. I dont' want to use String []a=request.getParameterValues("studentname"); as hard code. The reason being the number of rows will be diyamic and I would like to get the column name and then then use an array of string to take values. But how can I connect these to form a query so that the rows goes on inserted one after other.
Thanks,
Mashall

Thank you for your help.
I'm something close to it but this segment of code throws a NullPointerException Error. I counted number of rows and columns using the methods getColumnCount() and getColumnName(i).
ResultSetMetaData md = res.getMetaData(); //Get meta data for the resultset
int noofcolumns=md.getColumnCount();
out.println("<br />Number of columns in table (including name and roll number) :::: "+noofcolumns+"<br />");
for(int i=1;i<=noofcolumns;i++) // access column 1....n
String columnname = md.getColumnName(i); // get name of column 1....n
out.println("<br />Current column name ::: "+columnname+"<br />"); //check if the name appear correct.
String []columndata = request.getParameterValues(columnname); //Get raw value in array
for(int j=1;j<=rows;j++) // here rows is number of rows in each column
out.println("To be inserted: <b>"+columndata[j]+"</b> in Row ::: "+j+"<br />");
//The line above thows null pointer exception.

How to open a page from a Form and pass parameters to the form on that page

I found a similar example on this forum, but it did not work for me:
declare
l_names owa.vc_arr;
l_values owa.vc_arr;
i number;
begin
PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(l_names, l_values);
FOR i in 1..l_names.count
LOOP
htp.p(l_names(i) || ' ' || l_values(i));
END LOOP;
end;
By using this method i get the parameters for the Form, like the session ID, but not the parameters for the Page that the form is displayed in.
Another method I tried:
To open a Form from a Form and pass parameters works fine like this:
--In the After processing page PL/SQL event.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
if v_id > 0 then
htp.formOpen('PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=2649500412&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=ID&p_arg_values='||to_char(v_id),'post');
htp.formSubmit(NULL,'Upload Files');
htp.formClose;
end if;
End;
But I want to open a Page containing the Form instead of just opening the Form. Is this possible to open a Page and pass paramters to the page, and then let the form inside the Page access the passed paramters. The reason for this is that a Form cannot be based on a page template, or can it? When opening the form i want to keep the left menu, which I can if it is a page based on my template with the left menu.
Best regards
Halvor

Hi,
You can do this by calling the url of the page with the form. You can then use p_arg_names and p_arg_values to pass parameters. In the called form you can get the value from p_arg_names and p_arg_values and assign it to the form field.
You can call this code in the success procedure of the calling form.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
v_url varchar2(2000);
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
v_url := <page_url>;
if v_id > 0 then
call(v_url||'&p_arg_names=id&p_arg_values='||v_id);
end if;
End;
In the called form in "Before displaying form" plsql section write this code.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'id' then
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_value => p_arg_values(i)
end if;
end loop;
This code picks up the value from p_arg_values and assigns it to the form field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Delete record from the form and from the database

hi,
i want delete record from the form and the database ,but the record is only delete from the from !!!
this is my code :
if //condition then
delete_record;
commit;
end if ;
Any solutions ??
thnx

You have unique key field(s) on the table you are trying to insert which actually restricts you from inserting the same value again.
When you are deleting the record and issue commit there is a record to be inserted in the table which is a duplicate that's why you are getting this unique error.
As oracle is not able to insert your commit fails and stops your deletion of record from table

Using elements from input forms to use in reports...can it be done?? XML maybe?

Hi,
I am required to create a large number of input forms. For each form item, there is a heading to describe what the form item collects and also additional descriptive text, such as units of measurements etc.
I intend to create a report that will loop through and display this captured data on a per day basis. As there could be several forms of data multiplied over several days or weeks, this will return a lot of data
eg.
Day 1
          Data 1
          Data 2
          Data 3 etc...
Day 2
          Data 1
          Data 2
          Data 3 etc...
Day 3
          Data 1
          Data 2
          Data 3 etc...
etc........
In addition to the data captured in the database, i also need to furnish the returned data in the report with the headings and descriptive text that was on the forms so that the context of the data is apparent.
I have thought about how i may acheive this
1. check each data item returned and append the appropriate text (could involve hundreds of checks against hundreds of data items....Yikes seems like a bad way to do this
2. maybe theres another way....reading around i wondered if XML could be used ( i have no experience with XML)
if the form was constructed with XML, and when the report runs, the returned data is able to be linked to the appropriate XML section and the descriptive text could be appended, rather than be subjected to numerous if...else statements....is this feasible with XML? how could i achieve this?
Sorry if this is unclear or not what XML is about and i'm way off...I'm learning this stuff as i go along so only have the internet and forums to bounce ideas off.
Thanks for reading this and if you've got any ideas about how i might achieve this with XML or not...i'm very open to suggestions
Cheers

Database is MySQL

Ok, let's take this one step at a time. First what database type is this going into? Pointing you in the right direction for that is the best place to start.

Depending on what needs to be done, the type of database and the complexity of the data, I have found that simply entering the data into the database and running a query out of a Sharepoint server or even Excel will usually suffice unless there is something in play that we don't know about.
>> Yes i can query the database and use those results, what i also want to use is the extraneous elements, such as headings, descriptive text e.g for an input field that captures temperature, you would have

Temperature:      [ Input temp in box here]     degree centigrade
I want to know if there is a way of reusing these from my forms into my report by using XML, rather that some onerous checking process to append the text to returned data.
Thanks for taking the time to consider this..

How to set a bind variable into a vo query from the current vo ?

I would like to exclude from my list of values defined in a view object the already referenced items in the current view object content.
Let's say i have dept and emp with a many to many relationships, I would like that the already existing dept for emp not listed (excluded) in the list of values for emp.
Do i need to define a bind parameters and set it during search or is it possible to use an expression that will refer the current row attribute representing the dept ?
I didn't find an example or explanation how to set bind parameters defined in a view object query from seach pages or list of values ui components. May be somebody know how to find the info.
Thank you

I think that bind variable accessors in the VO class is what you need. You can override the getter method of the bind variable "LocaleCode2" in order to return the first 2 chars from the bind variable "LocaleCode". Have a look at this blog post for details:

Importing spreadhseets from input forms for bulk uploads

Hi,
I believe you can export the results of a report / page to an excel spreadsheet, but can you import a spreadhseet for bulk upload from an input form ? The reason I am asking is we don't want to allow the users of the input form "developer" rights (i.e loading spreadsheets from SQL workshop), but we do want to allow them the ability to bulk populate tables from spreadsheets. Alternatively can you set the developer rights to only allow bulk uploads and nothing else ?
thank you

Dbms_xmlgen.newcontext query from multiple tables and ||

I have two questions
How do I get a dbms_xmlgen.context to query from multiple tables? I have been able to make it work with using one table only, but not with multiple tables.
And how to get the || (concat) to work within my query for my output to an xml file?
Here is my current query:
create or replace function get_xml return clob is
result clob;
qryctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml('select prefix, suffix, fiscal_yr
FROM rcv.recv_accessions ra
where ra.prefix = 8 and ra.fiscal_yr = 11')xml into result FROM dual;
result := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(qryCtx);
This is what I desire:
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml('select ra.prefix||'-'|| ra.suffix||'-'|| ra.fiscal_yr accession, ss.date_in, st.test
FROM rcv.recv_accessions ra, ser.sero_samples ss, ser.sero_tests st
where ra.prefix = 8 and ra.fiscal_yr = 11 and ss.raid = ra.id and st.ssid = ss.id')xml into result FROM dual;
On this both the reference to multiple tables and the concat function cause errors.
Thank you
Edited by: user583094 on Mar 2, 2011 3:36 PM

Hi,
for the concat do I use xmlconcat?No, XMLConcat is used to concatenate XMLType fragments.
The || operator will do fine, but you must escape any single quote inside the string :
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml(
'SELECT ra.prefix ||''-''|| ra.suffix ||''-''|| ra.fiscal_yr as accession,
        ss.date_in,
        st.test
FROM rcv.recv_accessions ra,
      ser.sero_samples ss,
      ser.sero_tests st
WHERE ra.prefix = 8
AND ra.fiscal_yr = 11
AND ss.raid = ra.id
AND st.ssid = ss.id'
INTO result
FROM dual;Or, use the quoting operator to define a custom string delimiter :
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml(
q'{SELECT ra.prefix ||'-'|| ra.suffix ||'-'|| ra.fiscal_yr as accession,
        ss.date_in,
        st.test
FROM rcv.recv_accessions ra,
      ser.sero_samples ss,
      ser.sero_tests st
WHERE ra.prefix = 8
AND ra.fiscal_yr = 11
AND ss.raid = ra.id
AND st.ssid = ss.id
INTO result
FROM dual;BTW, a good practice would be to use bind variables for the query. DBMS_XMLGEN can handle them nicely :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_xml
RETURN CLOB
IS
qryctx   DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
v_out    CLOB;
qrystr   VARCHAR2(4000) :=
'SELECT ra.prefix ||''-''|| ra.suffix ||''-''|| ra.fiscal_yr as accession,
        ss.date_in,
        st.test
FROM rcv.recv_accessions ra,
      ser.sero_samples ss,
      ser.sero_tests st
WHERE ra.prefix = :b_prefix
AND ra.fiscal_yr = :b_fiscal_yr
AND ss.raid = ra.id
AND st.ssid = ss.id';
BEGIN
qryctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(qrystr);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setBindValue(qryctx, 'b_prefix', '8');
DBMS_XMLGEN.setBindValue(qryctx, 'b_fiscal_yr', '11');
-- to generate empty elements if necessary :
DBMS_XMLGEN.setNullHandling(qryctx, DBMS_XMLGEN.EMPTY_TAG);
v_out := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(qryctx);
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext(qryctx);
RETURN v_out;
END;

Query from table a and insert to table b

Hi,
I would like to create an attendance page to record student's attendance on a particular dates.
I have 2 tables - students and attendance tables; in which attendance table will consist of PK from students table and date.
How do I create a form that display all the students record in a page with checkbox and date column; and when user check the boxes and click save; it will insert record into attendance table? Thanks!
Layout similar to the below:
Date: 1/1/2010 (user input)
Name: Attend
student 1 (checkbox)
student 2 (checkbox)
student 3 (checkbox)
student 4 (checkbox)
.....

Hi Aaron,
For this you can do the following
1. Create a Tabular Form on The STUDENT table, i.e. the table you are using as a Fecth only table
2. Make the ApplyMRU and ApplyDRD process conditions Never so they will not be executed
3. Write your own custom process to write the checked rows into Attendence Table.
In the process you will have to refer to the checkbox f+nn+ item using APEX_APPLICATION.G_F+nn+ array and write from similar arrays for the other tabular form items
You will find useful code snippets in the Apex Help , Advanc3ed Tutorials as well as here http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html#MANUAL

Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form and close it.

Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form, check something, show a message to the user and exit the form to the previous form.
Forms version: 10.1.2.0.2. Java: 1.6.0_23. Browser: IE6
When I put before the "EXIT_FORM" two messages, everything is fine and the second form is closed and I repeat to the first form just as I wanted.
In forms 9.0 it didn't happen.
Does it have a connection with the fact I use JRE instead of JInitiator?
Thank you.

>
There are numerous causes of the FRM-92101 error. I recommend you start your investigation by tracing your Forms session so you can see what your form is doing when the error occurs. Check out My Oracle Support document How to Use Forms Trace with Forms [ID 209372.1] for information on how to enable the trace. Also, take a look at My Oracle Support document Known Causes of FRM-92101 Error In Forms [ID 604633.1].
Hope this helps,

I have just found that there is a "Synchronize" command in one of the main attached libraries, and when I comment that command the application works well. But I don't want to comment it because it's a great library and I assume it has a part in the system.
I have discovered that in the new Forms' help, the fact that the System.Current_Item mustn't be null so the command "Synchronize" will work, is mentioned. In the old Forms' help, that fact is not mentioned.
So I tried to put it inside a condition that checks if the current item is not null, but the compiler doesn't recognize the "current_item". I don't know why. Because it's a library? So how can I check this? I can sent it as a parameter, but I don't want. Do you know something about it? Thank you.
