Qlik View: Retrive Last Reload of another report - qlikview

In a qlik report(Main Report) i have a text object with an action that open another report. Is there the possibility to show in the text object located in the Main Report the last Reloadtime date of the report that i open with the action ?
thank's

while reloading the other report,
use:
T1:
Load reloadtime() as reloadTime autogenerate(1);
store T1 into T1.qvd;
in the Main report file:
Load * from T1.qvd (qvd);
you can also use *add* Load * from T1.qvd (qvd); if you want to use partial reload.
thats it :)

i can use filetime() function but the last change is not necessarily the date of the last reloadtime().
I could store these information externally in a txt-file which you read in your target-application as include-variable. This will require a reload from the target. As alternatively could these value be stored in a database and read then per direct discovery without a reload.
A further option could be to transfer these information per selections by opening: AJAX and URL parameters maybe by selection a loosen dummy-date-table and these selection will then be queried per getfieldselections().

SubmitForm then Patch results in "The data returned by the service was invalid"

I'm building a PowerApps app on Azure SQL
The requirement
I have a form which has "Save" and "Confirm" buttons.
Both buttons should save the form data. The Commit button should also set database column "Confirm" to 1
I've read at length about how I can programatically override the update value of a hidden control for this. But I'm not satisfied with the level of complexity (maintenance) required to get this working, i.e.
Populate a variable with the current db value
In the button code set the variable value
In the form field, set the update property to the variable
What I'm Trying
So I'm trying a different approach: SubmitForm then Patch. Even though this requires an extra database call, I'd like to understand if this will work. This is the code for OnSelect in the commit button:
// Save the record
SubmitForm(frmEdit);
// Update confirmed to 1
Patch('[dbo].[Comments]',cRecord,{Confirmed:1});
Some Complexities
Note that my record is a variable, cRecord. In short I want this app to be able to upsert based on URL parameters.
This is my App.OnStart which captures URL values, inserts a record if required. Regardless, the result of this event is that cRecord is set to the record to be edited.
// Cache employees and store lookups (as they are in a different db)
Concurrent(Collect(cEmployees, Filter('[dbo].[SalesPerson]', Status = "A")),Collect(cStores, '[dbo].[Store]'));
// Check for parameters in the URL. If found, set to Edit/Add mode
Set(bURLRecord,If((!IsBlank(Param("PersonId")) && !IsBlank(Param("Date"))),true,false));
// If URL Parameters were passed, create the record if it doesn't exist
If(bURLRecord,
Set(pPersonId,Value(Param("PersonId")));
Set(pDate,DateValue(Param("Date")));
// Try and find the record
Set(cRecord,LookUp('[dbo].[Comments]',SalesPersonId=pPersonId && TransactionDate = pDate));
If(IsBlank(cRecord),
// If the record doesn't exist, create it with Patch and capture the resulting record
Set(cRecord,Patch('[dbo].[Comments]',Defaults('[dbo].[Comments]'),{SalesPersonId:pPersonId,TransactionDate:pDate}))
);
// Navigate to the data entry screen. This screen uses cRecord as its item
Navigate(scrEdit);
)
frmEdit.Item is set to cRecord. As an aside I also have a gallery that sets this variable value when clicked so we can also navigate here from a gallery.
The navigating using new and existing URL parameters works. Navigating from the gallery works.
The problem
When I press the Commit button against a record which has Confirmed=0 I get this popup error:
The data returned by the service is invalid
When I run this code against a record which already has Confirmed=1 I don't get an error
If I run the PowerApps monitor it doesn't show any errors but it does show some counts being run after the update. I can paste it here if required.
I also tried wrapping the Path in a Set in case it's result was confusing the button event but it didn't make a difference.
What I want
So can anyone offer me any of the following info:
How can I get more info about "The data returned by the service is invalid"?
How can I get this to run without erroring?
Is there a simpler way to do the initial upsert? I was hoping a function called Patch could upsert in one call but it seems it can't
With regards to the setting field beforehand approach, I'm happy to try this again but I had some issues implementing it - understanding which control where to edit.
Any assistance appreciated.
Edit
As per recommendations in the answer, I moved the patch code into OnSuccess
If(Confirmed=1,Patch('[dbo].[CoachingComments]',cRecord,{Confirmed:1}));
But now I get the same error there. Worse I cleared out OnSucces and just put SubmitForm(frmEdit); into the OnSelect event and it is saving data but still saying
The data returned by the service was invalid
First things first,
Refactoring has multiple steps,
I can t type all out at once...
The submitform and patch issue:
Never use the submitforn with extra conplexity
Submitform is only the trigger to send the form out,
The form handler will work with your data...
If you hsven t filled out the form correctly, u don t want to trigger your patch action...
So:
On your form, you have an OnSucces property,
Place your patch code there...
Change your cRecord in your patch statement:
YourForm.LastSubmit

yadcf externally triggered filters 'shut off' the actual filtering

I am trying to set my yadcf filters up so they can be triggered from a call (link) from another page. I have an angular single page application that has three tabs on it. If a user clicks a link on lets say the first tab, they will go to another tab (separate table) that contains detailed information relevant to the link they click. (e.g. They are on a row in a table that deals with Apple Mac Pro computers. They see that there are 20 skus currently in the system. They click the number 20 and they go to a lower tab (different table) that contains all the information for those skus). There is no server call in the middle. All the data is loaded in all the tables when the application loads up. So, they are simply clicking a link that applies a filter to the detail table.
yadcf can do this through externally_triggered filters. However, when I set 'externally_triggered': true, it stops the actual filters from working on the details table. (In other words, I can no longer go to that table and manually adjust the filters.)
Does anyone know a way around this issue?
It appears the externally_triggered: true switch does not need to be turned on to use yadcf.exFilterColumn() method. I do not understand when it does need to be turned on, but I am able to call the exFilterColumn method and pass it the options needed to 'prefilter' the table while still retaining the ability to filter the table manually.
externally_triggered and yadcf.exFilterColumn are not related in any way, indeed when yadcf.exFilterColumn is used filters behave a bit differently - they are not filtering on change/keyup/etc , but rather only when the uadcf.exFilterExternallyTriggered function is called (its on purpose and all is explained in the docs)
Here is the relevant text from the docs of the externally_triggered, here it is:
* externally_triggered
Required: false
Type: boolean
Default value: false
Description: Filters will filter only when yadcf.exFilterExternallyTriggered(table_arg) is called
Special notes: Useful when you want to build some form with filters and you want to trigger the filter when that form
"submit" button is clicked (instead of filtering per filter input change)

Reload just one tab in Qlikview

How can we reload one tab , means one request of many in QLikview.
PS:
I have one request per tab
Help appreciated
Thank you
If you are talking about 1 tab in the front end of QlikView you cannot refresh it as the entire model is driven by the underlying data and data structure.
You can set up partial reloads that will reload only certain tables of in that data.
One request per tab is not ideal, recommended practice is that separate data is held in separate Qlikview documents.
However, this can be achieved - using variables and locally stored QVD's and the script below. You can also control variable values on the UI using buttons and actions on objects. The QVD's hold the data and are only reloaded when expressly requested.
//choose which data to load 1 = load query from scratch
Let vLoadQuery1=1;
Let vLoadQuery2=0;
Let vLoadQuery3=0;
Let vLoadQuery4=0;
Let vLoadQuery5=0;
if vLoadQuery1=1 then
//Enter load details and capture in local QVD
//Load
Query1:
LOAD *;
SQL select * from some.data;
//Store
STORE * from Query1 into Query1.qvd (qvd);
Drop Table Query1;
ENDIF
//Load from QVD - if this hasn't been loaded on this reload, it will grab the previous data
NewQuery1:
LOAD *
FROM Query1.qvd (qvd);

Data not updated in dhtmlx .net scheduler

I have problems and questions about this scheduler. I already tried to build and almost finished it. Although, I receive some errors...
What I do?
I create custom lightbox
mapping all the data in to table dbo.bEvent
I used custom eventbox like this : Scheduler.Templates.event_text = "({position_desc})" + " " + "{newrate}"
position_desc is actually from other table 'dbo.zone'
I create Views in SQL Server to retrieve data from 'newrate'. 'newrate' actually is a new attribute after I do some query to change rate "1000 to 1k" which is new rate save '1k'.
the views that I create by joining table "dbo.zone and dbo.bEvent"
Problem is?
when I save a new data or insert or update new data. my event box just give me '(Undefine)undefine'
all the data that i put in lightbox is save in dbo.bEvent
after I resfresh the page using f5 or navigate to next page or previous page then the data is updated.
Here i attach some screenshot. Thanks in advance

If you save the changes as described here http://scheduler-net.com/docs/lightbox.html#define_crud_logic ,
note that the method uses SchedulerFormResponseScript class to render the response.
Constructor takes instance of the event class to be returned to the client. Values of that event will be applied to the related event on the client-side
return (new SchedulerFormResponseScript(action, changedEvent));
make sure object that you send (changedEvent) has all data properties initialized. Basically the event should have the same data as when it is loaded from the Data action.
Alternative solution, which may be more straightforward, would be reload calendar data with the client-side api after saving event:
scheduler.clearAll();
scheduler.load("dataUrl", "json");

How to use a hidden page item within an SQL report query without submitting

Using: Oracle ApEx 3.0.1
I have a SQL report region that contains a hidden page item as part of the "where clause". My problem is, based on a value entered by the user, I need to assign this value entered to my hidden item, so that it can be used within the where condition of my SQL but this would need to be done without actually submitting the form.
At the moment, I can set the value via an on-demand process but my SQL is still not returning any values as the hidden page item within the query is not set (as page has not been submitted).
I am not sure how to do this and whether in actual fact, this is possible to do, without having submitted the page.
Since you are on Apex 3, you don't have dynamic actions, but that doesn't hinder so much.
I've set up an example on apex.oracle.com. To get in the workspace, use workspace 'tompetrusbe' + apex_demo / demo.
There is a dynamic action there, which can do the work too, but i've disabled it.
What you need to make it work:
an ajax callback process, with the following line:
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_PAR_ENAME', apex_application.g_x01);
Give your report region a static id, i called mine 'report_emp'. This so i can easily retrieve it.
In the javascript region of the page, you then need to call the app process, and then refresh the region. Also bind the event which needs to trigger this action. I've done it here through the onchange event of the parameter textfield.
function refresh_report(oTrgEl){
//alert('refresh: ' + $v(oTrgEl));
//calling the application process which sets the session state of P2_PAR_ENAME
var oGet = new htmldb_Get(null, &APP_ID., 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_session_state', &APP_PAGE_ID.);
oGet.addParam("x01", $v(oTrgEl));
oGet.get(); //the app process just sets something, it returns nothing
//refresh the report region
$("#report_emp").trigger("apexrefresh");
};
function bind_events(){
//call this onload
$("#P2_PAR_ENAME").change(function(){refresh_report(this);});
};
In the query of the report i use where ename like '%'||UPPER(:P2_PAR_ENAME)||'%'.
When you type (for example) 'bl' in, and tab out (to trigger the onchange), the region will refresh and will be filtered.
You'll just need to adapt to your solution :)
