Application Express :: Page Validation Against Table Definition?
Apr 29, 2013
I am trying to apply page validations on a tabular form. The form allows users to update data in a database table. I have created some validations such as "column x must not be null" etc and on submit, the error message appears and the relevant cells are highlighted in red. All ok so far.
However, for the primary key, I am relying on the table definitions in the Oracle database to not allow duplicate row entries. When a user tries to enter a duplicate row the error message appears but the relevant row / cells are not highlighted, just the row number is given. In a table with many rows this is a bit annoying.
Is there anyway to get the cells to highlight in red for such circumstances or do I need to create the primary keys within APEX itself?
I would like to have a table in HTML region and to display in the table some Page Items from the page.
I got the code like this: { <table> <tr><td>&P1_ECEMEA_ASSISTANCE</td></tr> <tr><td>&P1_ECEMEA_WIP</td></tr> </table> }
It shows the Page Item names as text, not the values. However this code without the table tags:
{ ECEMEA Request for CQT Assistance: &P1_ECEMEA_ASSISTANCE. ECEMEA CQT Work in Progress: &P1_ECEMEA_WIP. }
works and the Page Item values are displayed.
Is it possible to display the Page Item values in the HTML table at all or I have to use a different method of showing the values in a table? The above is only a snippet of the code. I need to display about 30 Page Items, formatted in a table with headings.
what kind of region is the best to be used or if I should only use some escape symbols in the table code.
my employer wants me to create an application that will respect our accessibility rules. I know APEX 4.1.1 do it far better then APEX 3.2, but this is our current version.
Do you know any way to tweak how APEX 3.2 show the error messages on the fields after the validation have been executed ?We must show the error messages before the field's caption.
And, if I use the native validation process of 3.2, will it be upgraded to 4.1.1 when we do the move without any actions ?
We are using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32 on Wondows XP and Oracle version is 10g. I've created a report in APEX and the user is insisting on putting a header on each page in PRINT of the report which should contain the "from date" and "to date", which are present on the select criteria on top.
Can I somehow add from_date and to_date items in Title so that when they print the report, they'll see the from and to dates in the title?Or is there someother way to do this. The report is an interactive report with a control break and user prints the report with file->print.
I am new to APEX and I am developing an application to manage Oracle database user accounts. I have a page (8) that has text items for the username and the database name. I have a submit button (this works fine) that will issue the ALTER USER... statement to reset the user's password and unlock the account. I have another button that should:
get the value of the username - P8_USERNAMEassign it to an application item - FIND_USER_IN_DBredirect to page in application - to page 11
The issue is that FIND_USER_IN_DB does not get populated and page 11
which is a simple report with the following query:
I have different public page (page1) and different page for authorized user(page5).Upon successful login after process validation ,computation it should navigate to authorized user page 5 but the branching does work it keeps on going to page 1 .
I use apex 4.1..I have a tabular form a select like this
select "STRATEGYID", "STRATEGYID" STRATEGYID_DISPLAY, "STRATEGYNAME", "ISAVTIVE", "STRATEGYSTARTYEAR", "STRATEGYSTOPTYEAR", "STRATEGYTYPEID" from "#OWNER#"."STRATEGY" where ISAVTIVE = 1STRATEGYSTARTYEAR and STRATEGYSTOPTYEAR as a Select List contain a value of year
I select from LOV like this select y l, y v from (select extract(year from sysdate) + rownum - 1y from dual connect by rownum <= 51)and
I have to Validate STRATEGYSTARTYEAR must Less than STRATEGYSTOPTYEAR
Application Express 4.1.1.00.23 ( plus all earlier versions that I've ever used)
When using the wizard to create a Validation of type "PLSQL Function returning Boolean", why is it mandatory to enter a value in the text field "Error Message" on the screen that follows? This message is never used as the message actually displayed comes from a PLSQL return statement.
Is it possible to create a validation for tabular form which will be fired only for created?
There is a possibility in APEX 4.1 to choose two types of "*Execution scope*" first is "*For created and Modified Rows*" and second is "*All Submitted Rows*".
im working with apex 4.2.1 and when i try to define a Dynamic action on any item, if the action type is "Set Value" or execute SQL/Javascript code it should appear a text field that let me define the action taking place. However this wont do..
this is what happens:
And this is what should happen:
I know that patch 4.2.2 solves some issues regarding dynamic actions but in the bug report there's no reference to such a problem.
Need to create a report based on date ranges and for this created a interactive report and two page item datepicker fields P15_fromdate and p15_todate. Report works fine with this criteria.But user wants one more field quarter(P15_quarter), When they select the quarter the range values has to get reset and as to get applied to report.
Issue here is unable to find a way to set the page range item values based on the quarter field selection
I'm trying to set up a PL/SQL dynamic action that is triggered by clicking on a button. The dynamic action sets two values in a table and then I would like to redirect to another page. Setting the values works fine. The code is below:
declarel_information varchar2(255) := :P94_FILENAME;BEGINcommit;UPDATE VDI_METADATASET CREATEUSERLISTNAME = l_information, CREATEUSERLISTON = sysdate();commit;htp.init;owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:81:&APP_SESSION.::NO:::');END; The redirect fails with the following eror: "Error: parseerror: JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data"
how to redirect to a page from within PL/SQL . None of them result in success.
How do I center a button within a region? I tried 'align="center"' but this seemed to be ignored. The button is at the left of the screen. Also, what are the 'display points' (Page Template Region Position 1-8) used for, and why is there a specification for column position of 1-9? Could these be attributes that will allow my button to be centered on the window instead of on the left?
I have "After header" process (with PL/SQL code) in "Page Rendering" section and want to navigate to some page after this process has been completed. I created a branch (On Submit: After Processing) with Target Type: URL. But this branch is executed only after "Page Processing", not after "Page Rendering". Maybe , there is any APEX API functions for pages navigating..
I created a page with 2 tree regions. Both trees use different items and different queries. The first tree is displayed correctly. But the second one just contains the first item, if I don't display the first on via customizing the page or if I change the order of the trees the previoulsy invalid tree is shown correctly, but I didn't find a way to display both correct at the same time.
When I create a new page item via copying from existing page item it fails with the below error code, if there is > or < character in the source of the existing item.Error Source contains <, > or " which are invalid characters. It works fine if I create new item using wizard and then have the same source. I use div tags in the source of my display only items.
it is possible to have two Validations one Page Item. Also I need to execute them one by one. If one is passed then go to the other and validate that one.
Example:P20_FORM_ACTIONP20_REOPENP20_REASON Validation 1: P20_REASON != 0 with condition P20_FORM_ACTION = CLOSEIf Validation 1 is passed then go to Validation 2Validation 2: P20_REASON != 0 with condition P20_REOPEN = YES
If Validation 2 is passed, then submit the form otherwise get error. is possible in Application Express 4.2.2.00.11. I tried to put the validations as described above into my application, but it did not work. Only one Validation was executed.
I have javascript code i want to move from standard report page to page zero, well page 0 doesn't have html header/page attribute section so how to i achieve this?
