ADF : ViewCriteria : Persisting Query Criteria Results Across Sessions with Oracle MDS

ViewCriteria : Persisting Query Criteria Results Across Sessions with Oracle MDS

Three setups explained in this:
Setup1: store viewcriteria saved search in MDS
Setup2: store <af:table - column change in MDS
Setup3: override <af:table - column persistant change not to store in MDS for particular column.

Setup1:store viewcriteria saved search in MDS

Note :
From the above link we will be able to store all searched criteria in to MDS and it will be retrived next time when the same user logs in.

Setup2: store <af:table - column change in MDS

Enabling Implicit Personalization Across Session

But: If we want to persist (store) the ADF table column changes also in to MDS, we have to add the below code into adf-config.xml file. (For more info refer -> http://blog.us.oracle.com/lift/?97408963)

This above setup is applied for all the adf:table -> column -> visible attribute.

Setup3: override <af:table - column persistant change not to store in MDS for particular column.

Some times we may have requirement not to persist particular table-> column, In that case you can go with the below setup.

1. Select af:table -> column component -> go to Property inspector -> expand Advanced tab -> DontPersist select All.
(then all attributes will not be persisted for that particular column, actually this overrides the above adf-config.xml setup only for this particular column)
