• Problem with update of a column by using the procedure of database and refreshing or put in value programmatically

  Dear all,

  I am a beginner in the ADF and am under Jdeveloper Studio Edition Version 12.2.1.0.0.

  I have a page that consists of two taskflows.

  First workflow has a fragment which is to have a table based on view object salespersons (not editable)

  Second task flow contains a form of ADF from the same view object Salespersons.

  As the user selecting a line in the table of the same record is displayed as no problem.

  Now, I have added two buttons Activate and Deactivate that is to change the status of the sales.

  I tried to use two ways an updated using the procedure of database and then put in value by programming and I have different questions with two of them:

  Now, here's the code of the Java bean for activation:

  Option A - the problem with this is the value of the column in the list (the first task rate displayed) is not synchronized

  and Activate and Deactivate buttons are not disabled and active properly.

  {} public void confirmActivation (DialogEvent dialogEvent)

  If (dialogEvent.getOutcome () == DialogEvent.Outcome.yes) {}

  DBSequence vId;

  vId = dcId.getValue ((DBSequence));

  Links BindingContainer = getBindings();

  OperationBinding operationBinding;

  operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding ("changeSalespersonsStatus") (OperationBinding);

  operationBinding.getParamsMap () .put ("pId", vId.getValue ());

  operationBinding.getParamsMap () .put ("pStatus", "A");

  Object result = operationBinding.execute ();

  dcStatus.setValue ("A");

  } else {}

  return;

  }

  }

  Option B - the problem with this is that the value of input for status text appears in the Active form for all records in form regardless of its database.

  {} public void confirmActivation (DialogEvent dialogEvent)

  If (dialogEvent.getOutcome () == DialogEvent.Outcome.yes) {}

  -no doubt this two lines are not needed here

  DBSequence vId;

  vId = dcId.getValue ((DBSequence));

  dcStatus.setValue ("A");

  BindingContainer links = getBindings();

  OperationBinding operationBinding;

  the operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit") (OperationBinding);

  Object result = operationBinding.execute ();

  } else {}

  return;

  }

  }

  Here's the code from the Fragment of shape for used buttons.

  "< af:button text = 'Activate' id ="bActivate' icon="/icons/activate.png ' iconPosition = 'top '.

  partialTriggers = "Bcreer bSaveInsert bCancelInsert dDeactivate dActivate".

  Binding = "#{pageFlowScope.salespersonsForm.buttonActivate} '"

  Disabled = ' #{bindings. " Status.inputValue! {= ' n '} ">"

  < af:showPopupBehavior popupId = "pActivate" / >

  < / af:button >

  "< af:button text = 'Disable' id = 'bDeactivate' icon="/icons/deactivate.png ' iconPosition = 'top '.

  partialTriggers = "Bcreer bSaveInsert bCancelInsert dDeactivate dActivate".

  Binding = "#{pageFlowScope.salespersonsForm.buttonDeactivate} '"

  Disabled = ' #{bindings. " Status.inputValue! {= 'A'} ">"

  < af:showPopupBehavior popupId = "pDeactivate" / >

  < / af:button >

  Here's matching Popups for each of the buttons Activate and Deactivate.

  < childCreation = "deferred" autoCancel af:popup = "disabled" id = "pActivate" >

  < af:dialog id = "dActivate" type = "YesNo" title = 'Status of salespersons' closeIconVisible = 'false '.

  affirmativeTextAndAccessKey = "& amp; Yes"cancelTextAndAccessKey ="& amp; (Cancel)

  noTextAndAccessKey = "& amp; No '.

  dialogListener = "#{pageFlowScope.salespersonsForm.confirmActivation}" >

  < f: facet = 'buttonBar' name / >

  < af:outputLabel value = "Are you sure you want to enable the seller?" id = "ol1" / >

  < / af:dialog >

  < / af:popup >

  < childCreation = "deferred" autoCancel af:popup = "disabled" id = "pDeactivate" >

  < af:dialog id = "dDeactivate" type = "YesNo" title = 'Status of salespersons' closeIconVisible = 'false '.

  affirmativeTextAndAccessKey = "& amp; Yes"cancelTextAndAccessKey ="& amp; (Cancel)

  noTextAndAccessKey = "& amp; No '.

  dialogListener = "#{pageFlowScope.salespersonsForm.confirmDeactivation}" >

  < f: facet = 'buttonBar' name / >

  < af:outputLabel value = "Are you sure you want to disable the seller?" id = "ol2" / >

  < / af:dialog >

  < / af:popup >

  Thanks in advance.

  If you bind components to a range of flow page bean. You must complete that it saves the State of the component longer than the life of the component.

  To change the value of the GET value of the component of the link layer and change it.

  In this way the changes are captured by the framework and you should see them.

• How to swap two values without using the third variable using the procedure

  How to exchange the two values without using the third variable using the procedure?
  
  In a procedure using two mode we pass two values A = x and B = y, and let us pass parameters to receive the output has A = y and B = x without using the third variable
  
  Published by: Millar on August 19, 2012 11:23

  Your question doesn't seem wise. As written, there is no reason to a third variable, just

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE(
    x IN number,
    y IN number,
    a OUT number,
    b OUT number
  )
  AS
  BEGIN
    a := y;
    b := x;
  END;
  

  If it's an interview question, I suspect that the intention was that you had two settings IN OUT and you wanted to swap the values without the help of a third variable.

• How to return rows by using the procedure?

  Example: There are 3 areas: A, B, C and each region has some people.

  create table person (name varchar2 (2), area varchar2 (2));

  insert into values('A1','A') of the person;  -1st rank

  insert into values('A2','A') of the person;  -line 2

  insert into values('A3','A') of the person;  -tier 3

  insert into values('A4','A') of the person;  -tier 4

  insert into values('B1','B') of the person;  -tier 5

  insert into values('C1','C') of the person;  -tier 6

  insert into values('C2','C') of the person;  -line 7

  result as follows:

  A, B AND C

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

  A1 B1 C1

  A2 C2

  A3

  A4

  If we ' select * from person ", then we had all the lines.

  I want to now choose volunteers in all areas, the rule is to pick one person from each region ordered, until that N people are selected. If N = 6, the sequence is

  A1, A3, A2, B1, C1, C2

  and want to return lines 1,5,6,2,7,3 (order of lines is not important) of the person.

  How to create a procedure for this? And I want to return as rows returned by a select phrase. (can be easily filled in a DataTable object and then be used in a program).

• insufficient privileges when you create sequence using the procedure

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE schema1.proc1 AS
  BEGIN
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP SEQUENCE schema1.add_ins_seq';
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE SEQUENCE schema1.add_ins_seq MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 1000 NOORDER  NOCYCLE';
  END;
  

  This procedure is created to schema1 by schema1.

  Schema1 boasts a CREATE SEQUENCE privilege.

  When I run this procedure through SQL Developer after the Cup to schema1, the error is thrown in insufficient privilege to CREATE SEQUENCE, however, DROP SEQUENCE is executed. I can create the sequence without the procedure call.

  If I add AUTHID CURRENT_USER so I don't get the error of insufficient privileges.

  Why it gives this error when the owner and the applicant of the procedure is schema1?

  Hello

  1st thing to know: when a procedure is defined (and updated), any privileges granted through ROLE is not taken into account. This is because these privileges can be active or not at the level of the session (as happens if for example a user has active 'role A' in session 1 but not in session 2 and if this role has been used to define a procedure?) The proecedure must at the same time be VALID in session 1 and INVALID session 2? Is not possible.

  Thus, for instance in a situation of 'standard': user SYSTEM has 'DBA Rôle', so you can for example make a sqlplus session "SELECT * v $ instance;", but you would write a procedure owned by system making instance_name SELECT INTO l_variable OF v$ instance;  "then"surprise": the procedure cannot be compiled because of the ORA-904 Table or view does not exist..." To be able to create the procedure, a DSS system needs to be done.

  2nd thing for your special case, a little more complex: default for a procedure is 'AUTHID DEFINE', but once more: it means "privileges of the author creating the procedure", so without taking into account the acquired privileges through roles... Your user name is 'sequence create' through a role, it cannot use the privilege within the procedure.  But... but when you define the procedure with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, privileges are evaluated at run time, and thanks to the active ROLE in the session by calling the procedure, at this time, the user can create the sequence.  If try again you but with 'The VALUE NONE ROLE' in the session before the call, you will again have the question.

  Conclusion: If you need to do the action, you must grant the user the necessary privilege directly.

• Using the procedure to display the table of multiple data

  Hi, I need help for the procedure in oracle

  I want to create the procedure to display the table of multiples with sample plan

  with a parameter imployee_id to display an employee_id, name, function, start_date, end_date

  SELECT e.employee_id, e.first_name, j.job_title, h.start_date, h.end_date

  JOIN the job_history:

  ON h.employee_id = e.employee_id

  WHERE e.employee_id = 200;

  Thanks for the help

  Blu and Billy showed you the 'real' solution. You can display the data returned by a cursor ref in SQL Developer, too:

  http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2011/12/SQL-Developer-tip-viewing-refcursor-output/

  Yet as a duty for a beginner is generally do not have the expected solution. Usually, teachers want to see you using a LOOP and dbms_output. something like

  DECLARE

  Xy CURSOR IS

  SELECT whatever

  As much as;

  BEGIN

  FOR r IN xy LOOP

  dbms_output.put_line (r.col1 |' # ' | r.col2);

  END LOOP;

  END;

  Of course this suggestion will inaugurate a discussion abusing DBMS output but I keep my position that it is authorized to use it for learning the basics.

  Hi Christian,

  In addition to the fact that the Oracle database has an internal Java engine and it would be possible for Apex call a Java stored procedure, the Apex really has nothing to do with Java. To create a report, you discovered, you specify a SQL query. In certain circumstances, you can embed a query in a PL/SQL function, but the incorporation of an arbitrary Java application and waiting for it to be called from Apex for a kind of security is there with the fairies.

  I recommend you research the Apex and then enter your so-called "higher authorities" how things work.

  Code is fine. The SMTP server setting is missing.

  You define (using a SYSDBA account) as follows:

  SQL> alter system set smtp_out_server='' scope=both;
  

  Replace ++ with the IP address or hostname of your SMTP server. This includes also standard tcp/25 SMTP port is used. If this isn't the case, add the port number (using a colon separator) name of the server.

• Export data from the database to excel file using the procedure

  Hello
  
  I need to export data from database to oracle 10 g for the excel file, I try this code:
  
  First, I create directory to the user sys and give permition to user that I'm working on it

  create or replace directory PALPROV_REPORTS as 'c:\temp';

  The file will be written to the database server or your GNU / linux and I'm quite sure, there is no folder named "c:\temp" on linux. It will probably be ' / tmp' on a unix server.

  And open the file, you must give the name logic directory 'PALPROV_REPORTS' it instead of the user name "utilisateur12".

• Using the procedure with multiple output variables in a query

  Hello
  
  We have a process that takes time, which returns 4 variables as out parameters:
  

  procedure calc_values(id in number, val1 out number, val2 out number, val3 out number, val4 out number) is

  The id uniquely identifies a product in our database.
  
  I would use it in a query (or view), in the form
  

  select s.id, val1, val2, val3, val4 from something s, product_table p
  where s.id = p.id

  I tried the following approach, but I'm kinda stuck
  
  define the type
  define an array of this type
  write a wrapper function that calls this procedure and returns the results as a table
  * the PivotTable in columns
  * join this with the product table
  
  It's like I'm on the wrong track, I'm struggling to retrieve the id of the product table in the wrapper function.
  
  Is there a better approach for this? I'm on oracle 10g

  Newbie trying to get a good reliable workflow without bad habits. My current method of calculation was to design an entire page in photoshop, export to image ready, add my rollover effects, optimize for the web slices to export the image file and create an html file.

  My thought or understanding is slicing and cutting the entire page design and exporting to dreamweaver would be more effective and more time consuming to create each piece and export to DW individually.
  So my question, is there any validity to what Im doing or am I a bad procedure usual and workflow.
  I'd appreciate it really any advice on a good workflowto make the most out of the capabilities of such software.
  I can't code by hand, so a guide step by step would be a great help. Thanks in advance and I apologize for the very basic questions and the long explanation.

  I suggest to do the layout as you now - then watch it
  will need to structure of the page, then copy and paste sections of it in a new
  Fireworks document. Break the page layout in components, such as the
  the page/nav header/footer area. This way you do not have a single large table with
  overly complex rowspans and colspans.
