• How to pre-fill a field before inserting the new record in the same block

  I'm obviously new to the forms and need help! I need to insert new records based on the lodge currently in the same block.
  
  In the block, I specify a lodge (lodge 0000) and run the query for this particular lodge. I want to insert new records
  for lodge 0000. The number of dressing room must be pre-fill with lodge 0000 and I have to do is enter the others
  provide the information.
  
  How to make a form to pre-fill the field lodge?

  Instead of global variables, why do you not use "Form settings" which are specific to your form? You can use them in the property 'Initial value' similar to global variables.

• Confirm delete before inserting then have a unique key.

  Hello

  I have a use case where a database field that is entered by the user must be unique.

  In the database, there is already a record for example 'name1 '.

  The user inserts a new record and puts his name 'name1' as well. Then, for some reason any decides to delete the first existing record and tries to save the new record 'name1 '.

  The previous record validation "Name1" is not yet removed, but the new record with 'name1' seeks to insert.

  Then I get the error message: attribute value 'name1' leads to duplicate keys for this type of entity. oracle.jbo.AttrValException...

  Is it possible to run delete before insertion on commit or another work around?

• Validate VMName / Hostname in input field before execution of workflow

  I'm trying to understand if it is possible to validate the input fields before you run a workflow. The scenario I have is commissioning a new virtual machine. The user must enter the VMname both host name before sending the workflow. I have a couple of actions which will check to see if a VMname or host name is already in use. I want to be able to go is to stop the user to submit the workflow for execution, if the name entered already exists. Is it possible that I can do this?

  Thank you

  If the action returns an empty (or null), this is considered a successful validation.

  Any non-empty string is considered to be the validation failed, and the string value is displayed as the error message in the presentation of the Workflow Wizard.

  (If your action return type is not a string but something else, and you do not change, you can build expression OGNL in the property editor for custom validation, which will compare the result of GetAction () .call () with the desired value and return an empty string or string of the error message.)

• NDP project - Check for a field before the next the workflow status

  Hello

  Is it possible to have a similar feature as the conditions of custody (for GSM, SCRM) in a NDP project?.

  I need to check the value of a field before moving on to the next step. I know that there may be some validations customized when you save the project, but I would like to know if it is possible to check the value of a field before moving to the State / the next step.

  Thanks in advance,

  Fernando

  Hi Fernando,

  We support validation on the events of Workflow in a NDP project. If you have installed the pack of the EP, go to \ReferenceImplementations\Validation\Documentation\Validation Objects.xls, you will see a detailed list of events, type ID and so on.

  I don't know what validation you want to put in place, here, I have an example you can make reference to:

  1, add the following to Config\Extensions\ValidationSettings.xml:

  2, restart the iis services

  3, go to one project NDP, erase the data in field of brands, save the project, no error

  workflow 4, this project, error "property marks is required."

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you

  Is there a parent-child relationship between the tables involved in the triggering event? Is there a foreign key used above the child table that references the parent table?

  If you have a parent-child relationship and a trigger on the parent table must be running some DML on the child table, and, if the child table as a foreign key (FK) back to the parent table, any DML on the child table will cause a recursive SQL statement to check the constraint. Indirectly, this will cause an exception table mutation.

  So watch the dependencies on SOR_O_HISTORY / FS_TEST_HISTORY/all other related table. A FOREIGN KEY can make it to mutate (no pun intended).

  Hope this will help you find the root cause.

  Hello

  to use a column in a trigger, the column must have: new for new values, or: old old values before the name of the column, so your if statement should begin with:

  IF :NEW.STA_STARTDATE

• Redirect data to another table using before insert trigger.

  Dear all,
  How can I redirect the data to another table in a before Insert trigger? My database is Oracle10g.
  I have a table EMP (EMP_ID, LAST_NAME, SALARY).
  I have another EMP_COPY table with the same structure. I also have a before Insert trigger on the EMP table.
  Based on a condition that I have to redirect the data in table EMP_COPY. Let's say the condition is EMP_ID = 100.
  I fire an insert on EMP table for example INSERT IN EMP(EMP_ID,LAST_NAME,SALARY) VALUES(100,'Dev',500).
  On the inside of the front Insert trigger on the EMP table, I have the code
  IF EMP_ID = 100 THEN
  INSERT INTO EMP_COPY (EMP_ID, LAST_NAME, SALARY)
  VALUES(:NEW.) EMP_ID,: NEW. LAST_NAME,: NEW. SALARY);
  COMMIT;
  ON THE OTHER
  NULL;
  END IF;
  But the problem here is that data goes to EMP table of origin also although I don't want. He should do an Insert into EMP table only if EMP_ID! = 100.
  
  One way has been to raise a user-defined exception inside the If statement and not handle it so that the original insert on table EMP fails but INSERT comes in the EMP_COPY table. But in this solution since the inside the trigger unhandled exception, it propagates to the calling environment. And I can't stand outside relaxation as the calling environment is a form of Oracle Apps standard that cannot be customized.
  
  Any kind of help will be highly appreciated that I am fighting for more than two weeks.
  
  Thanks in advance

  bars
  tubes

  tubes
  
  (b) then I want to insert these words in the table keywords.keywords with condition separated by ignoring the existing keywords.keywords (e.g. tubes came twice, let's get just a tubes) for example
  k_id keywords
  1 bars
  2 tubes
  3 before welding
  
  Thank you and best regards

  You can use the merge statement:

  for example

  merge into keywords
  using (
  with t as (select 'pipes,taps,spanner,spade,tubes' as txt from dual)
  -- end of sample data
    select distinct REGEXP_SUBSTR (txt, '[^,]+', 1, level) kw
    from t
    connect by level <= length(regexp_replace(txt,'[^,]*'))+1
    ) x
   on (keywords.keyword = x.kw)
  when not matched then insert (id, keyword) values (key_seq.nextval, x.kw)
  /
  

  But keep in mind that the sequence in this example will be updated for each line independently to know if she gets inserted or not.
  If you set the ID using a sequence triggered when inserting then this will solve this problem.

• Before Insert TRIGGER to create partitions problem

  Hello
  
  I m having a problem with the following situation in Oracle 8i:
  
  I have a table TEST_TABLE, which is divided by the beach with a DATE column. The idea is to have a partition for each month, so the HIGH_VALUE of partitions is always the first day of the month following that represents the partition.
  
  I created a BEFORE TRIGGER INSERT on the table TEST_TABLE, which tests if the partition for the month of registration which is being inserted exists and, in case it doesn´t, a PROC AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION is called to create the TRIGGER.
  
  Running the code below one can see that even if partitions are created as expected, when you try to insert a record with a date greater than the last partition for the first time, this error is returned:
  ORA-14400: inserted partition key exceeds plu legal partition key.
  
  Note that if you run the same statement again insert, it s inserted correctly on the partition that was created the first try.

  ----------------

  It is the use of the pragma AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION. Your current transaction cannot see the result of this DOF since it occurs outside of the current transaction. The clue is in the name.

  Of course, you cannot run the DDL in a trigger without use of this pragma, so you're pretty much stuck. There is a solution in 11g, but that will not help you. Unfortunately, your only option is to pre-create the partitions required in front of the need. For example, you might have a DBMS JOB to create a partition for the next month, which takes place the last day of each month (or logical date of company).

• Change the value of a field, based on an another fiekd before inserting...

  I have this situation: I have generate a code (this happens through a database function) when a new record is saved. This code comes from another field of this record (parameter passed to the function). I (have to) use Apex 3, so I can't use the functionality of the Apex 4.
  
  To be specific: I have a recording of books program. Every book has a unique library code (this isn't the PK). Labrary code is based on the year of publication (e.g. B2010-00035). So after entering a new book, prior to registration, the year of publication (e.g., 2010) is checked, and throug a database function (for example f_get_new_library_code (2010) returns "B2010-00036") library code must be completed.
  
  How can I do this in the best way, taking into account, I can't use dynamic measurements of Apex 4 (unfortunately).

  Hello

  If you had specified the type of form the response would have been more precisely!

  If it's a form of a row, then you can write a calculation OnSubmit where you call your function.
  If it's a tabular form you will need to write a process OnSubmit after Comp & Val you through the bays of apex_application.g_f and update the necessary tables.

  Kind regards

  Same file. Say "TRUNCATE" instead of "INSERT".

  LOAD DATA

• Why delete index before insertion?

  Hi all
  I have a table with 5 partitions, I also have 3 indices and 1 local index.
  Before each load, I have to truncate a partition and reload the data in that partition.
  When I tried to insert data into the partition, I got an error called
  ORA-29861: area index is shown LOADING/FAILURE/UNUSABLE
  When I checked my index finger, they were all unusable.
  I don't know if my truncated statement would unusable.
  Once I dropped these unusable indexes, my insert worked.
  Now I guess I have to recreate all the indexes.
  In my view, there is no such thing as enable and disable an Index. It should drop and rebuild them, I guess?
  
  I have however, the advantage of having a partition is to be able to truncate.
  Kindly let me know if I have to go through this every time I have truncate partition and reload it?
  Kind regards
  AJ

  You shouldn't have to drop and re-create the index.

  Before loading, you should be able to:
  change the index unusable.

  on each index. Then, before loading, do:
  ALTER session set skip_unusable_indexes = true;

  then do the load.

  Finally, do:
  ALTER index rebuilt nologging;

  for each index.

  Hope that helps,
