Apex 5.1 Autorefresh Region With Variable Refresh Time

P998_SESS_INFO is my classic report P998_REFRESH is hidden item P998_REFRESH_RATE is LOV with static values of STATIC: 10 Sekunden;10000, 20 Sekunden;20000, 30 Sekunden;30000

Solution 1:

Two problems:

1 - this code do not start the event change on item. (this change the value on the page, but not trigger the dynamic action). instead of this

$x('P998_REFRESH').value = $x('P998_REFRESH_RATE').value;

try this

$s('P998_REFRESH', $x('P998_REFRESH_RATE').value);

2 - you need to clear the previous setInterval value. it's not enough set new interval. So you need to store in a variable every call to setInterval

var sintervalid = setInterval("jQuery('#P998_SESS_INFO').trigger('apexrefresh');", interval);

and to reset

clearInterval(sintervalid);
sintervalid = setInterval("jQuery('#P998_SESS_INFO').trigger('apexrefresh');", interval);

---

If I were to do something like this, I would try it like this:

1 - I create one global variable in my html header, setting the default value:

<scripttype="text/javascript">var sIntervalId = setInterval(function(){ 
                      jQuery('#P998_SESS_INFO').trigger('apexrefresh');
                    }, 30000);
</script>

2 - I create a dynamic action when change my item that store the interval

dynamic action: change item P998_REFRESH_RATE

true action: execute javascript code:

clearInterval(sIntervalId);
sIntervalId = setInterval(function(){ 
                          jQuery('#P998_SESS_INFO').trigger('apexrefresh');
                        }, $x('P998_REFRESH_RATE').value);

***I did not test this, but it would be more or less that way.
