I am trying to increase a field number whenever a new row is added to my table. First I created a variable lastItem specified as a Record with Subtype to my Table. Now I created the following Code on the OnInsert() trigger:
lastItem.FINDLAST;
ItemNo := lastItem.ItemNo + 10;
The above code seems not to work on the OnInsert() trigger but works for one row when I enter it on the ItemNo - OnValidate() trigger.
Any ideas how to get an increasing Number on every new row in my table?
Are you sure that's Dynamics CRM? The code is a Dynamics NAV C/AL code and you talking about the Item table? In this case let NAV to give you the next number from the No. Series properly.
You can use the same approach in any other table : related pattern
You should stay away from doing direct SQL updates and adding triggers to the DB when using Dynamics CRM as it's not supported.
The appropriate way would be to use a plug-in which reads the last value and then does the increment. You'd would register this to run when a new record is created in the system.
You can find some example source code on this CodePlex project: CRM 2011 Autonumbering Solution
You should use the property autoincrement of the field. In this way you increment the field one on one in every row.

I'm starting from a "When a row is added, modified or deleted" connector, i'm passing in a switch connector that controls if the row is added, modified or deleted.
I'm then using the mail node to notify myself if a row is added, modified or deleted, in the case a row is added i have to include in the mail which fields of that row have been modified.
I can't find if this control is possible (check the row and compare it with the pre-modified version) and how to do it.
This is the embrional flow
As requested i'll try to be more detailed.
Please note that this is a POWER AUTOMATE FLOW so there is almost no code.
The CRUD connector takes 3 arguments:
-Change type (When an item is Added, Modified or Deleted)
-The table name (It's the Dataverse table name)
-The scope (Business Unit)
So i need to know if (for example in the output of this connector) there is a variable or other connector that contains which column changed and caused the trigger)
It's a question about the output or possible connectors related to the Dataverse CRUD node so there is NO CODE involved and no more "after-issue" flow specification needed to understand my request
A solution is to create a new field that keeps the current value of the original field and use trigger conditions to make your flow run only when those two fields don't match, meaning that the original field is updated and that its value has changed.
I need to copy selected row values and store as a new record.
I am using Oracle Apex 4.2 and Tabular Form.
I need to use checkbox to select the rows and button copy. When i select multiple rows followed by click copy button to copy all the selected row values as new rows and save.
Can anyone Help
Copying Records Through an APEX Tabular Form Input
The idea of cloning existing records from a single table through an Oracle APEX Tabular Form works without much interference with the default design that you can set up through the APEX wizard for page region content.
Build a table with an independent primary key.
Suggested to include two auxiliary columns: COPY_REQUEST and COPIED_FROM for running copy operations. Specific form elements will map to these columns on the tabular form that will be set up.
Build an Oracle stored procedure that can read which records need to be copied. This procedure will be invoked each time the SUBMIT button is pressed.
(optional) Consider including a suppression of step (3) in the event that there is nothing to process (i.e., no records marked for copying).
The Working Table for Receiving Input: COPY_ME
TIP: You will have an easier time if you use the standard TABLE creation wizard. Designate CUSTOMER_ID as the PRIMARY_KEY and have APEX create its standard auto-incrementing functionality on top. (sequence plus trigger set up.)
Here's the sample data I used... though it doesn't matter. You can put in your own values and be able to verify what happened easily.
The Heavy Lifting: The Stored Procedure for Cloning Records in COPY_ME
This procedure works with 1 or more records at a time with a special identifier in the COPY_REQUEST table. After the task is done, the procedure cleans up and resets the request value again.
create or replace procedure proc_copy_me_request is
c_request_code CONSTANT char(1):= 'Y';
cursor copy_cursor is
SELECT cme.CUSTOMER_ID, cme.CUSTOMER_NAME, cme.CITY, cme.COUNTRY,
cme.COPY_REQUEST
FROM copy_me cme
WHERE cme.COPY_REQUEST = c_request_code
FOR UPDATE OF cme.COPY_REQUEST;
BEGIN
FOR i in copy_cursor LOOP
INSERT INTO copy_me (customer_name, city, country, copied_from)
VALUES (i.customer_name, i.city, i.country, i.customer_id);
UPDATE copy_me
SET copy_request = null
WHERE CURRENT OF copy_cursor;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END proc_copy_me_request;
There is also a column that can be hidden. It tracks where the record was originally copied from.
Note that the cursor is using the FOR UPDATE OF and WHERE CURRENT OF notation. This is important because the procedure is changing the records that are referenced by it.
APEX Page Setup Instructions
Set up a standard FORM type page and choose the TABULAR FORM style. Follow the set up instructions, taking care to map the correct primary key, and also to the PK sequence object created with the table in the previous steps above.
This is what your page set up will look like after these steps are completed:
EDIT The COPY_REQUEST Form Value:
Under the column attributes section, change the Display As option to "simple checkbox"
Under the list of values section, put a single value under the LOV Definition: Y (case sensitive in either way... just be consistent)
EDIT The COPIED_FROM Form Value:
Under the column attributes section, change the Display As option to "Display as Text(Saves State)". This is just to prevent users from stepping on this read-only field. You could also suppress it if it isn't important to know.
CREATE a New Process: Execute Copy Procedure
This is the bottom of the same configuration page, there are very few things to change or add:
Demonstration: Screenshot of COPY_ME Tabular Form Page in Action
The first screenshot below is before the page is tidied up and the checkbox control is put into place.
Plug in some test data and give it at try. The Page Process created in the step above conditionally invokes the stored procedure that processes all copy requests made at the same time when the SUBMIT form button is selected.
COMMENTS: If you spend enough time tinkering around with the built-in wizards in Oracle APEX, there are opportunities to learn new design patterns and process flows compatible within the tool. Adapting your approach can reduce the amount of additional work and frustration.
Suppose we have a existing siebel column and this column has corresponding mapped eim column also. If I change the length of this siebel base table's column from 100 to 200varhcar by running alter query from backend. How it will impact on the EIM process? Will import process be successful?
Regards,
Robin
If you are interested in knowing conceptually, here are the implications that i can foresee.
a) Table column added using alter table is virtually useless as the application wont be able to use it because its definition is missing from Siebel Repository.
b) If you change the length of an existing column, application would still be using the length mentioned in Siebel Repository.
c) EIM process will ignore your new column length as it loads data dictionary before running the job.
d) And finally, during code migration you have to do the alter table every time since DDLSync process cannot take care of your scenario.
I would advise you not to alter the length of an existing vanilla table column, and instead extend the database table to add a new column. Just as the other poster mentioned, you should do this using Siebel Tools. You will then need to also add reference for this new field into the EIM components (this you also do using Siebel Tools).
This is a best-practice. If your client ever had an Siebel code review done by Oracle, you would be told to do what I described above (not what you were considering doing).
Changing the column length using the alter table command will only change it in the database layer, which will have no repercussions with a siebel standpoint. The EIM tables will still be valid as they will be using the column length mentioned in the repository sent in by tools. If you dont change it in the tools and apply the table, I dont think the changes will work.
I would not recommend that you do this. In this case, probably nothing will go wrong. EIM columns will load data that are upto 100 characters long but from the gui, you could insert upto 200 characters. Something unexpected can go wrong, we would need to know your application better to answer this question.
Greetings:
Is there anyway to make an apex report table cell (or even the entire report itself) conditionally read-only in Apex 3.2? I don't see the "read-only" box anywhere in the options; tried searching everywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Since the whole tabform is to be made read-only for particular users, you can do this at rendering time rather than using Javascript. However, you would need 2 copies of each column:
Column to be displayed for an authorised user, not readonly
Identical column to be displayed for a non-authorised user, with Element Attributes set to readonly=readonly
Authorisation schemes can be used to control which columns are displayed to the user.
I was hoping to find a way to do this with a single column and a dynamic value for Element Attributes, but I couldn't get it to work.
OK, I had an error in concept. I wanted to make a tabular form read-only. That's why I couldn't see the "read-only" box. If you open the source for the generated page, each column has given an id with the following naming convention:
id="f02_0001"
This table cell is in column 2, row 1. So, you can use JavaScript to loop through a column and modify it's properties. In this example, I use jQuery:
var payments = $("[id^='f08_']"); // get all cells for column 8
// loop through items
$.each(payments, function(){
alert($('#'+this.id).val());
// make whatever changes you want to this.id, such as make read-only
});
I have a simple database and want to update an int value. I initially do a query and get back a ResultSet (sql::ResultSet). For each of the entries in the result set I want to modify a value that is in one particular column of a table, then write it back out to the database/update that entry in that row.
It is not clear to me based on the documentation how to do that. I keep seeing "Insert" statements along with updates - but I don't think that is what I want - I want to keep most of the row of data intact - just update one column.
Can someone point me to some sample code or other clear reference/resource?
EDIT:
Alternatively, is there a way to tell the database to update a particular field (row/col) to increment an int value by some value?
EDIT:
So what is the typical way that people use MySQL from C++? Use the C api or the mysql++? I guess I chose the wrong API...
From a quick scan of the docs it appears Connector/C++ is a partial implementation of the Java JDBC API for C++. I didn't find any reference to updateable result sets so this might not be possible. In Java JDBC the ResultSet interface includes support for updating the current row if the statement was created with ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE concurrency.
You should investigate whether Connector/C++ supports updateable resultsets.
EDIT: To update a row you will need to use a PreparedStatement containing an SQL UPDATE, and then the statement's executeUpdate() method. With this approach you must identify the record to be update with a WHERE clause. For example
update users set userName='John Doe' where userID=?
Then you would create a PreparedStatement, set the parameter value, and then executeUpdate().
