AD attribute names in other languages

Hi,
I'm planning some .NET development into AD and was wondering about the effect of multi-languages. If I write a query to filter on eg. objectClass, in English I would use:
ds.Filter = "(objectClass=organizationalUnit)";
Would 'objectClass' & 'organizationalUniton' be the same on eg. a Spanish AD or would those names need to be translated?

They are not translated. The filters are the same and it does not matter the language.

Song name in other languages

I downloaded a song which has a hebrew name and informaton. The song information comes up as weird characters. Is there a way to display the hebrew characters?

You probably need to change the ID3 tags of the song to Unicode encoding.
First make sure your Win XP has Hebrew activated:

Which team can help if the name of iView is not translated in other languag

Hi All,
Do you know which team can help if the name of iView is not translated in other language such as Portuguese?
Thanks,
Eda

Above statement is correct: contact Portal Team to debug the iView/application.
But you need to also check with your IT team - because it might be the case that the proper browser setting/network setting is figured to be EN (English - assuming).
To test, you yourself can verify if it's the case, change the browser language to Portuguese and test the application. If it gets translated to Portuguese, then that means it's the browser/network/ISP setting/configuration.

Jan

Table names and column names defined by other languages, not English.

Hi, everyone.
I am wondering if there are any possible problems or any inconvenience
when I define table names and column names by Japanese, not English.
Currently, we are using SQL server 2000 as a db and windows as a operating
system. In the near future, we have the plan to change the database software
and operating system to "Oracle 10g" and "Linux O/S".
I have not experienced the oracle database, which has table names and column
names defined by other languages, not English.
Personally, I would like to use English as table names and column names.
In this case, I might have to provide appropriate reasons.
Are there any possible problems or any "inconvenience" in terms of
system maintenance, development, or something else ?
What could be pros and cons in this case?
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards.
Ho.

First you need to make sure your database has character set that support Japanese.
Choosing a Character Set
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch2charset.htm#i1007681
The main "inconvenience" you will have is if the client doesn't support Japanese or unicode, it will have trouble to access the table.
And say in future after the application been developed, you want to implement the schema in some English environment, you will have hard time to do it.
My point is English tablename and column names doesn't prevent you use it in Japanese environment and save Japanese data but not vice-versa. Hope you understand.

JSTL Problem with attribute names

(Sorry for double posting. I've asked this question on javaranch, but did not get any answer. So I hope you can help me.)
The values I pass (request.setAttribute etc.) from my servlet to my JSP pages have often dots in their names like "my.variable" (Assume for the following that my.variable justs holds the String "hello").
I want to use <c:out > to print the value of "my.variable". Obviously the naming scheme collides with the expression language ("my" is not an object and certainly does not have the getter getVariable). Is there a way to work around this problem?

What? Why do you consider it a bad way? It's the only
naming scheme I know!
It's pretty straight forward to use the package name
to make your attribute names unique. See either Struts
or Java Petstore (org.apache.struts.Globals or
com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.waf.controller.web.util.WebKeys
as an example.Btw those Globals and WebKeys, are static finals or constants.
this is something completely different, and if you would really look good in stead of refusing some friendly advice you'll see that indeed the packages are separated with a . and the variables are with a _
so calm down and try to listen what we say.
If you give to java a x.y he'll thing y is a method of x or that y is a class in the package x
ok?
greetings

How to show Attribute name in Single line in ADF-JSPX pages

Hi,
I am having a issue , attribute name like "Name Of Catalog" in Brazilian-Portuguese Lang. is displaying in two lines instead of showing in one line, but it is correctly showing in English language.
And also this issue reproducible on IE 7 browser only. Please let me know your comments on above issue.
Thanks
Chandrakant

Hi John,
I have seen some solutions like using horizontal layout, where child components are arranged in a horizontal line. No wrapping is provided when contents exceed the amount of browser space available. Is this OK to use?
One more question is, how to enable Portuguese - Brazil Lang for pages in Jdev ? in other words, I want to see Label Text in Portuguese - Brazil Lang instead of English ?
Thanks.

How to change the attribute name for a relation

When the Data Modeler engineers a logical model into a relational model it create table columns for the relations. The names of the generated columns are listed in the attributes list in the properties dialog of the relation. The actual name of the attribute gets calculated by the attribute name of the entity which is part of the relation. This is okay, if there is only one relation between two entities. But when there are two relations between two entities the second attribute gets a stupid number suffix. This makes it impossible to give the attribute a useful semantic meaning.
When I engineer the model into a relational model I can change the column name in the relational model. Changing the column name in the relational model is not perfect but it would be okay for me, if it would not be overwritten during the next engineering run.
So I have two questions:
How can I change the attribute name in the attributes section of the properties dialog of a relation? See here for screen shot:
http://public.ceving.de/2012050300/relationattribute.png
And if it is not possible:
How can I preserve any changes on column names in the relational model during a re-engineering run?
Edited by: 931739 on 03.05.2012 08:07

Hi,
I've logged an Enhancement request on this.
I don't believe it's possible to change it from the Entity or Relationship dialog, as it's not updatable in these dialogs.
What you can do is change it in the Relational Model, and then reverse engineer the change back to the Logical Model.

Get the attributes NAME and VALUE from an XML

I really love this forum :)
I load an XML an populate a Tree, from which I start to drag
items.
the xml looks like this:
<myTag attrName="attrValue"
otherAttrName="otherAttrValue"/>
var ds:DragSource = event.dragSource;
var var1:String =(event.dragInitiator as
Tree).value.@attrName;
-> the var1 variable has now: "attrValue"
my question is.. how can I get all the attributes' names? in
this example: attrName and otherAttrName (suppose I don't know the
structure of that xml node)
what about attributes values?
thank you!

The snippet below takes an xml node(nodeCur), loops over the
attributes list and builds an array that contains the attribute
name and value for each attribute. It comes from a sample app that
allows you to edit an xml file.
Sorry that the forum will remove the formatting
var aDPAttributes:Array = new Array();
var xlAttributes:XMLList = nodeCur.@*;
var attribute:Attribute;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < xlAttributes.length(); i++) {
aDPAttributes.push({name:xlAttributes [ i ]
.name(),value:xlAttributes [ i ] });
dgAttributes.dataProvider = aDPAttributes; //set the property
sheet dataProvider

Cannot create or replace : The specified extended attribute name was invalid.

New problem arrived today. Trying to copy a file from 10.6 server with an XP (SP3) client. I get this error:
Cannot create or replace (file name here): The specified extended attribute name was invalid.
The contents of the file can be copied, but not the folder. Other files can be copied. There are no funny characters. The name is not too long. I propogated the permissions on the share and that had no affect. The problem exists on three different XP systems. Can't find extended properties that could be causeing a problem. Any ideas?

Automatic Generation of classes with required attribute names

Hi ,
I am new to XML technologies ...I am having a problem in deciding whether I
should use JAXB or Castor for data binding.
The problem is the attributes I am to use are named differently as that found in
the DTD.I have creted my own classes using the required attribute names and the
n mapped them using the Castor mapping with the attributes.
I was wondering how should I achieve --"automatic generation of classes" with th
e specified attribute names?
I understand that JAXB can be used to automatically generate classes ,but this
uses the same default names as that of the XML file ..is there a way of forcing
JAXB to generate classes that use my name attributes rather than that of the XM
L dtd
If I use Castor ..is there a way to do the same.Generate Classes with the specif
id attributes

text variable replacementpath with key, attribute, name then what are the changes in my report in quary designer

The XML 1.0 spec does not allow elements or attribute names to include spaces in the names.
See: http://www.xml.com/axml/axml.html
for a nice annotated version of the spec.
[Definition:] A Name is a token beginning with a letter or one of a few punctuation characters, and continuing with letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name characters. Names beginning with the string "xml", or any string which would match (('X'|'x') ('M'|'m') ('L'|'l')), are reserved for standardization in this or future versions of this specification.

How to find database attribute names that correspond to page labels

I've been tasked with creating one or more views to be used in creating reports. The users know data items by the labels on pages, not the database attribute names. So my dilemma is how to correlate the page labels to the database attributes.
For example, there's a course details web page. It includes items labeled "Replacement Course", "Inherited Competency Update Setting" and "Attachments", among others.
Focusing on "Inherited Competency Update Setting"... there's no database attribute called that. I've found COMPETENCY_UPDATE_LEVEL, but I don't know if that is it. And is an "inherited" one different than a non-inherited.
I've googled about, and discovered that "Inherited Competency Update Setting" can be set by using a workflow named OTA_COMPETENCE_UPDATE_JSP_PRC and setting an attribute named HR_APPROVAL_REQ_FLAG. Further research has lead me to determine that HR_APPROVAL_REQ_FLAG is used only within the workflow system. I've found in SYS.ALL_SOURCE a package OTA_COMPETENCE_SS with a function that gets that attribute's value. It includes a query against WF_ACTIVITY_ATTR_VALUES which retrieves values of YES_DYNAMIC, APPROVAL, NO, YES or NOTIFYONLY. I've not found any code that uses the function.
Using ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, I'd found COMPETENCY_UPDATE_LEVEL in OTA_OFFERINGS, which contains "APPROVAL" or null. So that may be what I seek, but I can't confirm it.
I also have been unable to find the translation from "APPROVAL" to "Notification, Automatic Update after Approval" (assuming I'm correct and this is the field)
I've found a Training Administration Technical Reference Manual for Release 11i, which contains information about the database, but I've found no corresponding document for Learning Management for 12.1 (Only installation and user guides).
And this is many days' research to find one attribute. Which I'm not certain I've found.
So, in this case in particular, or any case in general, how does one find the database name for an attribute, given the page label's text??
Thank you

Whoa, easier than I'd thought...
When the page first shows up, there's the About This Page link, at the bottom, clicking it you get to the About Page.
I noted two sections, Page Definition and Business Component References Details.
I expanded Business Component References Details and found View Objects. There's a list of views used. I was dismayed that the views don't appear to be in the database. Of course, they're camelCased Java names of Java objects, not database names (although sometimes some of the camelCased tokens might correspond to parts of view names). They are, however, clickable and when clicked the definition shows up, and I was thinking that it would take a long while to find what I was seeking.
But... Hit the Expand All link in Page Definition, do a find on page for the desired label, and there it is... a row with the label, view object name and attribute! Pay dirt!
Then go to the Business Component References Details, find the View Object, click it, and there's the view :-) Find the attribute, then the table... easy peasy!
Thank y'all again
