master detail problem [message #661098] Tue, 07 March 2017 08:53 Go to next message

Hello everybody!

I created a form with a master and two detail tables. All these blocks are view based... and one of these views has two tables joined.
I used the wizard to create the relations, but the behaviour is strange... when I create a record in the master block, the first detail block is cleared... but the second
detail block is not... And if I create the second relation first and then the other, they change the behaviour... The second detail block is cleared and the first is not.

I have no clue how to resolve this... I put some "clear_block" in the "on populate details"... but I think it is not safe.

Can anybody help me?

Tks

That's not really much to go on.

Did you use the wizard to only create the relations or everything?

Maybe you can show the relation and where they are on the object navigator.

You might need to manually add a condition to the (second detail block's) relationship created by the Wizard in order to make it work.

Hi!
I tested and found a loop on the clear_all_master_detail that is not passing through all relations ... It passes by the two detail blocks if I click twice on the create_record button. Like a Manual loop... hahah

So... I put some "clear block" in the code like this:
/*Original loop on the clear_all_master_detail: */
--
-- Clear all the detail blocks for this master without
-- any further asking to commit.
--

currel := get_block_property(trigblk,
first_master_relation);
WHILE currel IS NOT NULL
LOOP
curdtl := get_relation_property(currel,
detail_name);
IF get_block_property(curdtl,
status) <> 'NEW' THEN
go_block(curdtl);
check_package_failure;
clear_block(no_validate);
IF :system.block_status <> 'NEW' THEN
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
END IF;
END IF;
currel := get_relation_property(currel,
next_master_relation);
END LOOP;

/*Customized code*/
IF get_block_property(curdtl, status) = 'NEW' THEN
IF mastblk = 'MASTER_BLOCK1' THEN

go_block('DETAIL_BLOCK_1');
check_package_failure;
clear_block(no_validate);

go_block('DETAIL_BLOCK_2');
check_package_failure;
clear_block(no_validate);
END IF;
END IF;

That worked, but I dont know why the first loop did not...Do you have any clue?

Maybe:
currel := get_relation_property(currel,
next_master_relation);
should be
currel := get_relation_property(currel,
next_detail_relation);

I'm not in a position to test. You could add alerts to see what both those properties return.

Nothing.

  currel := get_block_property(trigblk,
                               first_master_relation);
  WHILE currel IS NOT NULL
  LOOP
    curdtl := get_relation_property(currel,
                                    detail_name);
    IF get_block_property(curdtl,
                          status) <> 'NEW' THEN
      go_block(curdtl);
      check_package_failure;
      clear_block(no_validate);
      IF :system.block_status <> 'NEW' THEN
        RAISE form_trigger_failure;
      END IF;
    END IF;
    
   -- currel := get_relation_property(currel,next_master_relation);
   currel := get_relation_property(currel,next_detail_relation);
   message(' currel '||currel);
  END LOOP;

What does currel get set to at the start?

Ah!
I´ve found it. There was another relation in the forms in another master-detail and, because the name of the blocks are similar, the relations were created with the same names, but in different blocks. Then, "get_relation_property(currel,next_detail_relation);" got the detail of the other master!!
I just renamed the relations, and it worked. HAHAH
I can remove my customization! hahaha

Tks for the help.

You've got more than one set of related datablocks in the same form?
<<shudders>>

I'm surprised forms allows multiple relationships with the same name, but fair enough. Would have assumed it'd tack a number on the end of the 2nd one to avoid name collision.
