Application Express :: Update Field On Change For SQL Query
Nov 26, 2012
We are using APEX 4.2, 10GR2, RedHat5.
I have a report that comes from SQL Query (updateable report). I'm using the apex_item.text and apex_item.hidden on fields. I'm using a button to submit and after submit process to add some logic that I need.
There could be 1 - 10 records in the report. There is only 1 field that is needed to enter a value, but the value of this field determines the value of another field. I think that I can do this with a submit button and an after submit process where I loop through all the records. I think I have this handled.
This is the question
When the value of that field is changed then the value of another field in the same row changes immediately. All the examples I've seen so far are for a single record and that doesn't work for us.
I guess this is a MRU process but I haven't seen an example where a dynamic action is possible on a Multi Row Update.
I created a table (software defect details) and an interactive report on it. Users can go to the details form where they can manage many information: STATUS is one of them and they can change it or not.
I would like to send an email when SUBMIT botton is pressed only if field STATUS has changed. How can I detect this? I mean, I wrote a procedure in order to send an email and it works, but it runs always: I cannot set it running only when the content of STATUS_ID has changed.
how to understand if a field value has changed and, if possible what the old values was? I know how to do that by using a trigger (:old.status, :new.status) but I don't when using an APEX procedure.
I have a need to change the LOV of a page item's select list based on the selection in another page item's select list. So in other words, for a page item that is a select list, I need to use one LOV normally, and a different LOV if the value of a different page item is set to X.
A dynamic action would be useful here (on change where Select List 1 = x), but I don't know how to take the action of changing LOVsfor Select List 2 based on that action.
Let's say that we have an order entry app and the price and quantity items are already populated. We now want to show the user the extended price (the product of the first two items). the extended price would automatically display after both the quantity and price items are entered. I'm assuming that would require some kind of client-side processing. I imagine server-side processing is simpler, so I'll lean in that direction. I'm sure we've all seen web sites that require you to click a button for the order totals to be updated. I'm okay with that approach, but I haven't quite put all of the pieces together. Here's what I came up with.
A region button was added to trigger the updating of the extended price. The button's "Action When Button Clicked" is to submit the page. Under "Page Processing", a process was created to do the calculation with the recipient of the product being a page item. From debug code in the procedure, I can see that the item containing the extended price was, indeed, modified. But the new value doesn't display in the field and the Session window shows that the value of the item didn't change.
I must be missing something. The debug code says the item value was updated. The Session window says it wasn't updated. What gives? What did I do wrong and what needs to be done to correct this?
I've started using Apex 4.2(new to Apex). I have built a form based on a table with a date column on it. The form allows update on all fields/columns of the base table. For the date field/column, the goal is to present the user with sysdate on load and update the date with sysdate if the record is changed any of the fields. How can I accomplish this?
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 having a problem with a popup lov. When I click on the "popup icon" I can select a supplier and it is stored in the field. But when I leave the form and return later, it shows the return value instead of the display value. For example: you select "supplier A" from the popup list with ID 12. "Supplier A" is shown in the text field, when you save the form, it stores ID 12 in it. But when you return to the form, it fetches ID 12 and shows "12" in the text field instead of "Supplier A".
I tried setting the "source" of the popup lov field as an SQL query, but that didn't work for me.
I need to change "File Character" when I export application with Apex 4.2.1.00.08 version, but this option, is not possible. The ComboBox already select with
"Unicode UTF-8]', but I need "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental",
Is there a way to change the Application Builder theme? There are themes for applications; how about for the builder itself? I looked but did not see a selection for this.
I'm a Geek thru and thru, I guess, but I think you might have to be xxxx retentive to like all these square boxes. And these old eyes have to squint to focus among the vast sea of gray shades.
I'm trying to make changes to a PL/SQL procedure in an application process and no matter what I do in the PL/SQL text (even removing semi-colons and messing up syntax) no changes register when I call the procedure from a page process. I've also tried creating a new application process with a similar procedure of a different name, and no page processes will allow me to call the procedure, saying that it needs to be declared.

We have several prod instances and many applications on each of these... and interactive reports saved by many users.Each prod application have its own ID, distinct from the dev application ID.
Until today I used the apex_application_install inside the first wokspace only, and it works fine, but I need to update applications on every instances. It seems the only way to keep a saved report during an update is to use the same application Id (use the app n°200 to overwrite the n°200).So it means the only available method is : release the dev app on the dev workspace ; export 50 apps from it and import those 50 times, maybe more in the future.
My configuration :Oracle Standard or XEApex 4.1.1OHS
I have a requirement in which on Change event of shuttle, the tree present in another region of the same page should refresh. On refresh, the tree should include the values selected on the right hand side of the shuttle as its nodes.
If it is possible in Apex 4.2 get interactive report where clause and change it before displaying result e.g. We have an report and for some of columns we should do exact match and for some partial match.And business requirement is that they should not add additional % at the and of search string. It should be added automatically for some fields.
I´m newbie as Apex developer using Apex 4.0 with OracleXE 11.2, and now my problem is:
I have a tabular form where one of the columns, when calling the form, is a Display Item, so that you cannot change existing values.
I want, when adding a new row, that column become a Select List (named LOV) based on a query that exclude existing values in other rows already inserted.
Can I change that Display Item to Select List (named LOV) programmatically at runtime? If not, what other options do I have?
1.- i have a product_item field (wich is a lov and user choose one value), so i need to call a function (sending it the selected value product_item) that will return me some data about the product i selected, for example :
if the function return 'A' then disable the next item on tabular form, lets say quantity else enable the next item on tabular form, lets say quantity end if
2.- i need to determine the result of two items operations: total := final_quantity - start_quantity the user will introduce start and final quantity and i will determine the total.
I want to restrict 3 digits after decimal in tabular form. Only three or less than three digits should be allowed after decimal and should be stopped automatically.
In a detail tabular form I am referencing a date picker field from the master form as default value.This is the situation in the detail form:
TABULAR FORM Column Name: FECHAREGISTRO -- the field's name in the detail tabular form
Default Type: Item (application or page item name) Default: P68_FECHAREGISTRO -- It's a field in the master form and also is Date Picker format Reference Table Owner: SAMPEDRORIVEROS Reference Table Name: BITACORAABOGADO Reference Column Name: FECHAREGISTRO -- It's a date field in the database
At execution time I have the error:
report error:ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I think it is because i must use to_date and to_char in order to change the datatype and i have tried using:
I am trying to change the column order in an Interactive Report. Run the report as a developer then use the action menu.
However, I am not sure how one can run the the report as a developer. Do you just login and run the page? Then if I do that, I don't see the action menu there. If I go to page attributes "Save Report" tab, I do see the action menu but "Select Columns" only gives me "Report Type", "Report Name" etc as columns. Or we don't have enough privileges to run the report as a developer?
I installed apex and configure the apex listener at port 80 by mistake couldn't pay attention to use port 8080. The installation is complete but the apex is running at URL.... but the login window is invisible on the page. I can just see the name on the tab "Application Express Login" . When i click on the error message at the bottom of the browser, the message says "apex is undefied" line 35.
When I run the server, I get a message "No free port within range 80. How can I change from port 80 to 8080? how to either un-install the listener or change the port 80 to 8080
so I can reference it in my email body with <img src="cid:signature.jpg"/>. Well... I hope it is going to be shown inline anyway if I change Content-Disposition.
Currently (with Content-Disposition: attachment;) it works for Outlook, but, for instance, not in Gmail in the browser. Gmail shows the image separately as an attachment.
Is there a way to change the content-disposition with Apex?
I know it is possible to do it with utl_mail, but this is currently not installed in our databases. I need to involve our DBA to set this up, and I don't know if he is willing to do that.
Apex Version: 4.2.0.00.27Theme: 25 I have a page that I need to divide by 8 segments, rather than 12 ( I will need to place items and buttons in one of the 8 columns). To begin, I have made a copy of the One Level Tabs - No Sidebar page template. I have tried to edit this template, and played with multiple combinations changing the Grid Layout and Display Points settings, but instead of creating a page that has 8 columns, that span the width of the page, I am just left with blank space. See attached:.[URL] And these are the Page Template Settings:[URL] Is it possible to change the body section of the page template to have 8 columns span the entire width, without the dead space?
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 have a problem with Tabular form. Configuration: Oracle 10g, Application Express 4.1.0.00.32.
I have tabular form on simple table. I need to change some column values before MRU. For example: i have column named "UPDATE_DATE" where i need write SYSDATE every time this record was updated. I've created page process, associated with my tabular form.
Process point: On Submit - After Computations and Validations; Sequence set to 1 (before "ApplyMRU" process - it has sequence 10); When Button Pressed: Submit; Execution Scope: For Created and Modified Rows;
I have a table where i need to update one field values based on another field of the same table , simply as it is.I have done this using one select all check box , on clicking that all check boxes of item_trans table will get selected , then i will un select some of check box and then using one button, i will update the value of the fields which are checked only.
I have put the sample code but when i am updating its taking long time and hanging.I am also attaching the form based on the test case provided.
insert into item_trans(TRANS_ITEM,TRANS_QTY,TRANS_ACT_QTY) VALUES ('TREE1',40,NULL); insert into item_trans(TRANS_ITEM,TRANS_QTY,TRANS_ACT_QTY) VALUES ('TREE2',20,NULL); insert into item_trans(TRANS_ITEM,TRANS_QTY,TRANS_ACT_QTY) VALUES ('TREE3',20,NULL);
--i want to set the value of trans_Act_qty as trans_qty
--i create one dummy or test block to keep the select all check box. for that table test script is
CREATE TABLE TEST ( C VARCHAR2(2000 BYTE), B NUMBER, A NUMBER );
insert into test (C,B,A) values ('A',1,1);
--code written in select all check box which is created on test.block.
BEGIN GO_BLOCK('item_trans'); FIRST_RECORD; LOOP :M_END_YN := :M_END_ALL; [code].......
--code written in M_END_YN ( actual check boxes where i will uncheck).
IF :M_END_YN = 'N' THEN :M_END_ALL := 'N'; END IF;
--code written on button to update those values which are checked.
BEGIN GO_BLOCK('item_trans'); FIRST_RECORD; LOOP IF :M_END_YN = 'Y' THEN [code]......
using apex 4.1, created tabular form for inserting values from customer with a simple query
