How to show "Data Not Found" in a cascading paginated report - powerbi

In my paginated report two parameters are dependent on each other. for example there is one agent and there is one state. When agent number is entered then state parameter gets populated on its own. But if some wrong agent number is added then state parameter asks for some value, without that value the report will not run.
I want to show 'data not available' when invalid agent number is entered in this situation. In the tablix properties I've set an expression in the visibility field as IIF(IsNothing(First!fields...)),True,False) but it's not working because of cascading parameter.

Custom dynamic success message after submit page apex

How i can return dynamic success messages after submit page.
The message like " the deal create successfully your deal number tah-01-01-0001 "
Note the region type it's form, and i have column, the value for this column generate in database trigger like this value "tah-01-01-0001" the last four value '0001' changed sequencally i want to appear this value in message, how i can do that
The success message is allowed to refer to page items using substitution syntax, e.g.
The deal was created successfully. Your deal number is &P1_DEAL_NO.
You would just need to ensure that your PL/SQL process does set the page item value (e.g. P1_DEAL_NO in this example).

BIRT - using multiple webservices to get the data

I am trying to generate a report using Eclipse BIRT report designer.
The scenario is this:
There are 2 web service data sources. There are 2 datasets for webservices 'WS1' and 'WS2' respectively.
The output element 'COUNTRYID' of one webservice 'WS1' would go as input for another webservice 'WS2'.
What I did:
Created a parameter COUNTRYID.
Created a dummy Computed Column in the dataset of the web service 'WS1' with the expression:
params["COUNTRYID"].value=row["COUNTRYID"]
Now the input parameters for the 'WS2' dataset is related to the global paramter 'COUNTRYID'.
When I run the report, I see that the global parameter contains the value from the 'WS1' output.
But the report does not display the values from the response of the web service 'WS2'
My questions:
How can I see, if the webservice got fired or not?
How can I see, if the webservice got fired with correct values ?
WS1 is not fired unless it is explicitely bound to a report element. Typically, to achieve this we apply following steps:
insert a data element at the beginning of the report body
turn the property visibility of this new element to false (or let it visible during testing)
bind it to the first dataset WS1
It will force a silent execution of WS1, and therefore this will populate your parameter COUNTRYID before WS2 runs.
However this approach would not work if:
WS2 dataset has to be used to populate selection items of a report parameter (which does not seem to be the case here)
If COUNTRYID parameter is used at render time. This point is much more annoying, if you need this parameter in chart expressions for example. If so, i would recommend to store WS1 in a report variable instead of (or why not in addition to) a report parameter. See this topic to see how to create a report variable.
You can initialize it at the same place you did for the report parameter with:
vars["COUNTRYID"]=row["COUNTRYID"];
and use it anywhere with
vars["COUNTRYID"];
Report variables are available from the palette of expressions editor :

How to specify the item for a sales order?

My program finds orders in a database outside NetSuite and enters them in NetSuite through SuiteTalk.
I'm having trouble specifying the item for sales order lines.
My order line creation code looks like this:
When I try to specify the item using only the the RecordRef.name property I get an error saying "Please choose an item to add".
I am more successful when using RecordRef.internalId. I can look this up (not shown in the code above) using ItemSearchBasic and setting the ItemSearchBasic.externalId property as a list of RecordRefs each specifying an externalId value from the order lines in the source database. I seem to have to set the type property of each RecordRef. The problem is that I don't know the type. Some of the products are Inventory Item and some are Lot Numbered Assembly/Bill of Materials.
How can I specify the item for an order line without having to tell NetSuite what the type of the item is?
use itemId - From the Schema browser in Netsuite docs show itemId as the proper internal id to use for item

Siebel Operation Error for Inserting Field based on picklist

I am facing an issue where I am getting the below error while inserting a record in the table via Siebel Operation step.
Here the error is showing for field which is based on a picklist. Could anyone please suggest why i am getting this error:
SBL-DAT-00225: The value entered in field District of buscomp Contact_Address_LT does not match any value in the bounded pick list PickList Comm Resolution.
SBL-BPR-00100: This error is returned when the workflow/task is executing the Siebel Operation business service.
I am aware that this happens when the value is not defined in the picklist. But i have verified this, and LOV is having the value which I am trying to get insert.
This error is quite common. And could happen for a couple of reason.
As you have mentioned, that you have already checked the value which is getting inserted is already there in the LOV defined for the picklist.
I have recently faced this error, and spent hours to debug it. Try below to sort your problem.
Check for the below points:
1) Check for the pick map for this field, check if any contraint field is also present in it.
2) If yes, then check those constraint field is also getting inserted in same Siebel Operation step. Siebel does not follow sequence in the input argument. So if this is the case do step 3 to resolve your issue.
3) Split the insert statement into 2 parts, 1 where you insert the record with the values which is present in the pick map constraint and then update the same record. This will ensure that all the required field are populated.
Solution from 8.1.1.4 is to add parameter into OM's config file, e.g fins.cfg:
[Task]
ProcessArgAsc = true

My test script is not finding items in dynamic web list control - list in code not updated with current info

I am having a problem in QTP with selection of a web list box and I have exhausted what I know to do to resolve it. I am hoping someone can help.
There are 5 controls in a container, 2 webedit controls and 3 weblist controls. Together, they allow entry of accounts associated with a customer, and there can be 16 accounts for any customer. There are only ever five controls active at any time, whether editing or entering information for an account. When the information for an account is entered and accepted, it changes to a read-only table row and a new set of controls appears below it for entry of the next account.
The information entered in these controls is the account number, type, description, designation, and status. The status value is contingent on the designation, and the items in the list change dynamically depending on what the user specifies for the designation. The status list is not enabled until the designation is specified.
After some experimenting with timing, I was able to get past an issue where the status list for the first account was seen by QTP as disabled even though it was clearly enabled. I was then able to advance to entry of the second account.
I change the designation on the second account and try to select an appropriate item (specified in a data table) in the status list. My specification from the data table is never found. I figured it was a problem with verbiage differences and also that I should probably anticipate that and address it now, so I wrote a function to accept three parameters, the list and up to two search items. My function searches the listbox passed to it and looks for a match (full or partial) on the search items it receives. Here is where I encountered a significant problem.
The list of the control my function received was from the previous iteration of the test, corresponding to the designation of that account. This is why my function was not finding the selection item. The list on the screen shows the appropriate items, which suggests that I am looking at the wrong object. I also get the ‘object is disabled’ message when I put my data table value directly into the list with the select statement.
The active controls are displayed below the readonly presentation of the previously entered accounts. I am very new to QTP, but I also read documentation. My only theory at this point is that ATP is not passing the right list to my function… that perhaps that how it was learned included the position, which will change each time. However, the spy identifies the screen control as the same item I processed for the preceding account, which makes my theory suspect. In addition, the other four controls, which are not dynamically changing, do not present the same problem. I can put the information in them consistently.
I apologize for the length of this question, but I wanted to be as thorough and clear as possible. Can anyone help me get past this obstacle.
There are many possiblities why it is exposing this behaviour, so let's start with something simple:
Did you try a myWebList.Refresh call before you do something with the listbox? Refresh re-identifies the object.
Have you put a break point (red dot) inside the custom function. Just see what is happening there. With the debug viewer you can enter a realtime command in the scope of that function like msgbox myWebList.exist(0) or myWebList.Highlight
Can you see how the disabled property is propagated to the webpage? If you can 'Object Spy' it as TO property, you can add it in the GUI Map description.
A more sophisticated aproach is to create a Description with the weblist properties. If you can read the disabled property as an RO property from the 'Object Spy', you can use it as an identifier like "attribute/customDisabledProperty:=false".
If you cannot correctly read the disabled property, you can create a description object and do a count on the amount of items that match that description on that page with numberOfLists = Browser("my browser").Page("my page").ChildObjects(myDescription).Count and get the last list with Set lastList = Browser("my browser").Page("my page").ChildObjects(myDescription)(numberOfLists-1)
Keep us informed. Depending on how this works out, we can work into a direction for a solution.
I figured this out early this morning. There are 4 different list boxes used, each made visible or enabled dependent on the selection of the previous list. This is why the spy found the one listed when I was using it and also why the items in the list were not appropriate to what I had selected and also why it appeared disabled to QTP but enabled to me.
I was selecting the same designation when trying to spy it. It was intuitive that the controls were all the same. I am also a windows programmer and I would have populated the same list each time with the appropriate list items, and I presumed that was what the web developer was doing. It was not and it took some time to figure that out. Now that I figured it out, everything is working fine, and I came back to report that. This was a significant, time-intensive lesson.
Thank you very much for your input. It is still useful because I am very new to QTP and every thing I learn is of value.
