Application Express :: Text Areas In 4.2.2 - Can't Be Read Dynamically
Sep 3, 2013
i encountered a big problem after upgrading Apex from 4.1 to 4.2.2. On an application page there is a Text Area which will be read and processed after clicking a button. I didn't want a refresh of the page and did it with a dynamic action.All this worked like a charm with 4.1. Since the upgrade, the value of the Text Area is always returned as null while processing the dynamic action, but the value is filled by the user!When i change the type of the Element to Rich Text Area everything works fine, but i don't want this because i don't want HTML in the corresponding table. Is this a bug? How can i workaround it?
Have got basic form on a table and have a textarea which holds Notes added by user.
So Notes database field is updated on Save / Apply changes button being pressed.But would really like any text added / appended to the Notes field to be prefixed by userid and date / timestamp.
Is it possible via dynamic actions or Javascript to have any new text added / typed to be auto prefixed as per above.
Would only want the first key press in the filed to trigger the auto-prefix and if added text was deleted then the auto prefix to be deleted as well ?? If user doesn't press Save / Apply changes obviously want to leave existing Notes as is.
We have integrated Oracle Access Manager 11gR1 with Oracle Apex 4.1. The OAM-Apex integration is working fine. Now we want an additional header variable to be passed from OAM to the Apex application. This new header variable will be user's sAMAccountName in Active Directory. OAM is integrated with AD and the AD users are successfully able to access the Apex applications.
The three header variables which are configure in OAM right now are: Header variable name Value 1. OAM_REMOTE_USER $user.userid 2. OAM_REMOTE_USER_EMAIL $user.attr.mail 3. OAM_REMOTE_USER_GROUPS $user.groups
We need an additional header variable as mentioned below: Header variable name: OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME Value: $user.attr.samaccountname
The new header variable was added in the OHS server's dads.conf file like shown below: =========== dads.conf ============= ... PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER_GROUPS PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER_EMAIL PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME
But we are not able to read the value of this attribute in the Apex application.On the Apex application, we have a text box which shows the value of this header variable. This textbox is attached with the following stored procedure call to fetch the header variable: =================== begin :P1_HEADER_VALUE := owa_util.get_cgi_env( 'HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME' ); end;
The textbox shows the correct value if HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER is passed to the get_cgi_env method but does not shows anything when HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME is passed to the same method. if I am missing some configuration to pass the HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME haeder variable from OAM to Apex.
I have a form on a table which has a column indicating if the row is editable or not. When the form is displaying an existing row, the user would like the display attribute of all fields to be set to Display Only when the column indicates the row is not editable - otherwise the attributes should be set to Text, Number, Date, etc.
(1) a drop down list item called P38_DESK which contains a list of desks such as A, B, C
(2) a Chart region with region title: Chart Mvt by &P38_DESK.
(3) a dynamic action to "refresh" the Chart region if the value of P38_DESK is changed.
I can see that everytime the desk is changed from the drop down list, the chart section/region gets refreshed accordingly but NOT the Chart's region title.
It only showed the first value I chose. e.g. Chart Mvt by A So in APEX4.2, how can the CHART's region title be changed dynamically ( without submitting the entire page ) to reflect the value from the drop down list P38_DESK ?
Im tring to dynamically hide/show page item. I searched and found something but it not working for me. Im using apex 4.1 and below described are work I did.
In my page (form) I have 5 fileds iitems.
- Customer No - Edit - First Name - Last Name - Address
I want to hide First Name, Last Name, Address based on the value in Edit. Let say if user selects "Edit First Name" then First Name must get visible while Last Name & Address hidden.
So I placed this line onChange="$f_Hide_On_Value_Item(this,'LASTNAME,'LN')" in page item EDIT> Label > HTML Table Cell Attributes
I have created report with the collections. Report query has been changing dynamically but i got problem with report header names and headers names has not been changing dynamically it is always showing like c001,c002....etc so, i have created global item(G_ITEM) in shared components--->Applications items after that I have created process(before headers) and assigning some value to G_ITEM and used &G_ITEM to column headres in IR Report but here &G_ITEM is not showing any value.
How can i achieve dynamic headers names by using *&G_ITEM(global items)*
I had a situation last year where I could not login as myself or see any objects in my schema. Some code using APEX methods to create a new APEX user, and it finally worked.
The new user, ADMINUSERS suddenly had its password expire and I could not reset it, so I repeated last years’ effort but this time nothing worked.
Now I have a problem where I cannot even read a table if it is in another schema, even if I use the schema name as a qualifier. This happens even in SQL plus, except when I login as System I can read tables in other schemas if I prefix the table name with the schema and a dot. But this does not work with other users, even though I have granted the other users the role of dba.
I have Select list itemS based on Lookup tables. When the form in Edit mode, I want to prevent the end user from changing the value of these Select list items. How can I accomplish this ??? **If I change the type of the item to Display only, then it will show the returned value of the Select list.
I have an item that does not save to the database.it is conditional read only based on the value in another column, when it is not read only it displays as a Select list.. then whatever is chosen triggers a dynamic action that sets other items.so setting it as a display only is not an option.
after upgrading from 4.0 to apex 4.2 this gives error: Session state protection violation: This may be caused by manual alteration of protected page...
the only workaround I have found is to set the Read Only to none, then create a dynamic action that conditionally sets the field to disabled..This works, but my problem with it is that it looks different than the read only..read only was Black Text and no textbox..disabled is a text box with greyed out text that is hard to read for some of the users..
We have certain records like SQL, PL/SQL, Reports, Forms, OAF etc in a table. We wanted to capture rating for each of these criteria. So we want a form to be displayed dynamically..
In Application Builder, is there a way to searching the application and replacing text within it?
I have an application item named "FORMAT_TYPE1". I would like to perform a find and replace action (just like a word processor) where any part of the application that has name or text "FORMAT_TYPE1" in whole or in part is replaced by the text "FORMAT_CATEGORY1". For example:
The find/search would do it in any attribute, source code in the application. There is only a Search Application feature, which is useful in identifying places, but lacks any replace function. Is there something else that will do this, besides exporting, editing the source code in a text editor, and then importing the application again?
I'm trying to update a number field on an apex page by summing up the values of multiple page items. I've tried to follow this tutorial
[URL]........
especially the "Create a Set Value Dynamic Action Using PL/SQL" part.
In the tutorial example they return an page item value P3_SAL multiplied by a multiplier they've determined by another page item's case. What I want to do is much simpler in that I just want to add up multiple page item values and then display them in a number field at the bottom of the page.
so the code I tried to use based on the tutorial is in the tab: Home >Application Builder>Application 103>Page 3>Edit Dynamic Action>Create / Edit Action
Set Type: PL/SQL Function Body
PL/SQL Function Body:
BEGIN return :P3_ITEM1+P3_ITEM2+P3_ITEM3; END;
Page Items to Submit: P3_ITEM1,P3_ITEM2,P3_ITEM3
But it gives me an error that I need to declare the identifiers, yet it works if I only use one item and I can perform any arithmetic.

I am developing an apex application using the apex cloud (apex.oraclecorp.com). I am using the DB link to show the data on APEX UI. I have a blob data which is stored in the remote DB, and I want to display the BLOB data as text on a popup or a new page or a download link. I tried using display only item but APEX throws an error saying that remote DB is not supported. Also, It would be great if I can just show a download link on the UI for the BLOB data, again when I try to select the format as BLOB in the column attributes, When I give the table@dblink as BLOB table I get an error saying that "table@DBLINK not found". Is there any way to display the BLOB data as text or download it which is present in my local DB?

Just installed 4.2.2.00.09 and imported a workspace and an application. Worked fine.I noted a page display difference when compared to the exported application (4.1.0.00.32). I have (so far) found this:If I have a button with Pre Element Text set to <div class="dummy"> and Post Element Text set to </div>, Apex generates an extra div around it all.If my button was named P1_SUBMIT I end up with

We have recently upgraded to apex 4.2.1 from 4.1. After this, we get a strange stopping issue that the rich text editors clear all their values once the page is submitted. This happens only in Firefox and Chrome, but works just fine in IE. Have you ever noticed and had a solution for this?
