Attachments on the Request Form

Attachments on the Request Form
I know you can add file attachments in the initial customer request by selecting the Add and Review Order button and attaching a file on the Order Review form. But is there a way to have a file attachment button on the request form that will attach a file to the serivce request the same way?
We are using RequestCenter 2007_1
thanks
CMH

Here is an approach:
1. Implement something like this on the file server:
http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=7361&lngWId=4
(We use an inhouse version of this)
I would change this script to post back the file name to the parent window as well as some naming/size validations, etc ...
2. Call the file upload functionality from your service fo

How to read User ID from the request Form and pre populating in the AD User process form before provisioning

I am trying to read the user Id from the submitted AD User request form( Catalogue AD User form. I need User Id,firstname and lastname inorder to prepopulate the common name as in this format - lastname,firstname (userid) for the user to be provisioned in Active Directory.
So after filling the AD User request form with User Id and Organization and submitting the request, I am trying to
prepopulate the common name in the process form before the provisioning.
The prepopulate adopter for the common name is configured to read the firstname, lastname and userid. firstname and
lastname variables are mapped to User definition and user Id is mapped to Process Data. In this setup I am not getting the
User Id value from process data, it is empty.
Is this a bug with OIM 11g R2 or I need to do it differently in order to read the user Id that user has entered in the
request form for populating the common name?
Thanks

How to get USER_ID and IP_AddressWhy exactly do you need this data and what do you plan to do with it?
The data is not reliable and trustworthy. IP addresses can easily be spoofed (a few seconds if you know what to do and how to do it). Also, IP addresses are not static. Users also do not use the same network device to access the database - different devices will have different IP addresses.
The o/s user on the client is supplied by the client driver. This can also be spoofed.
The user can also use a virtualised device - which means that recording the IP and o/s user seen from the server side, is pretty much useless and meaningless.
So if this data is intended to be used for auditing for example - it would be pretty suspect data to use for that purpose.

Attachments in the PDF form

I am saving my form as a PDF. In the form I have an attachment field included. However when I try to use the attachment "Select File" I am getting an error. saying the file attachment in not supported in the formPDF. Is there a way to do this with the PDF form?

PDF forms currently do not support attachments. You would have to distribute the form as a web form to get that functionality.

WHEN DOES THE REQUEST FORM "BOX" ARRIVE???

i filled out an online request paper and payed the stupid shipping fee to get my mini "repaired", and i just wanted to know when the "box" would get here. By the way, i filled out the request sheet 11/19, midnight.

HELP!!!

If I bought an iMac for the family and a MacBook Pro for my daughter between the period for the free Mountain Lion update, would we have to submit the request form twice?

I do not understand what it means by "right to copy."

I love the portability my powerbook gives me. You can use a PB in your setup. You can run an external monitor for either PB or MBP. You can node. Universal Binary menas it is an application which has the components written for both PPC and Intel chips-so you don't need to do conversion. Nodes won't require you buy a nother license. so the answer is down to how much the 2 upgrades and 1 crossgrades will set you back vs how much use you'll get out of them. IMO the iMac is inexpensive (I mean that in a good way-worth hooding on to). Maybe just look at a refurb PB unless you really have the extra cash.

Question on the upload attachments process in a request form

hi,
I have a question on the upload attachments process in a request form. I have 2 pages, one is a request form and the other is an attahment page
The request form let users fill the mandatory fields (e.g. name, email, address...) And in the form, there is a link (URL without submit) to the attachment page.
In the attachment page, users can upload the supporting file for their rquest. The file will be uploaded to APEX_APPLICATION_FILES view and then it will be copied it to a customized table (table A) and remove from the view.
When the users finish uploading files (i.e. the files are stored in table A), users need to press a "Done" button back to the request form to submit the form.
My question is:
As the request form is not yet submitted while the attached files are stored in table A, there is no request_id (request from table primary key generated in an Insert trigger after submission) is generated to tag with the files in table A. Is there any standard practice to do this?
What I am doing now is to generate a hidden value in sequence when user goes to the attachment page. The hidden value is stored in table A togehter with the files when uploading. When user goes back to the request form, the hidden value is passed back as session cache. When the request form is submitted, I make an update statement by using the hidden vaule in the Insert trigger to tag the request_id to the attached files in table A.
Is my way appropriate?
Thanks for advice.
cheers,
Pong

Pong,
Yes, this would work just fine. You may want to consider enabling session state protection so that your process is not succeptable to URL tampering, which would cause a user to change the value of the REQUEST_ID in the URL and potentially associate other attahments with their request.

Scott

Need to display a Disclaimer on the request CUP request form

Greetings,
As part of the organizational Request, I need to include a disclaimer on the AE request form, the person needs to agree or disagree to the disclaimer during submission/approval.
I tried doing it in multiple ways but was not able to succeed with the requirement:
Approach 1: Custom field "DROP DOWN" text made it mandatory field to select the either the user agrees to the disclaimer or not. The issue with it is the disclaimer is about 200 characters and the field restriction on the custom field is 40 characters. Does not work as I intended to.
Approach 2: Custom Field "Text" made the field as default and provided the default 200 character sentences into the text field. Though I provided the default value it does not show up in the text box and comes up blank, does not solve the requirement.
Optimal approach : If could do a disclaimer on the request form with a check box and force the user/approver to check the box would solve the purpose.
Do anyone of you can suggest or show a way where either I can increase the drop down text size from 40 to 200 characters or display the disclaimer with a check box or probably I can then use the drop down list as "Agree" vs. "Disagree"? Will be helpful.
I have also need to make a validation that states not to approve/provision the access if the disclaimer is set to 'disagree"
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Angara Rao

Greetings All,
As an update to my earlier question. SAP came back asking me to log this an an enhancement for future releases using SAP note 1575897 . I have logged it with them and hopefully we will see an solution in hot packs/Next releases.
As a current solution, We have placed a disclaimer text on the Portal Landing page and have marked with a "Accept" or "Decline" push buttons. The push buttons stores the user identity, date and Time stamp in a custom table for validating purpose and while the accept button launches the GRC CUP application.
The above was created as a prototype and not currently in use untill signed off from the concerned department head & Global policy head asking for this information.
Best Regards,
Angara

Attachments added to the Interactive form is lost after submit

Hi All,
I have a scenario where the user can add attachments to the Interactive Form Online and click on Submit to archive the filled form. The problem is that i am not able to retrieve the attachments added to the form.
The datasource of the ITF is bound to the View Context node and the pdfsource is bound to an attribute of XSTRING type.
Here i am able to see the changed values of the Input fields in my context node. But, any attachments added is lost.
How can i retrieve the attachments? I tries calling the Methods SET_TASK_GETATTACHMENTS and GET_ATTACHMENTS of PDF Objects but it always returns null.
FYI,
if i use file upload UI Element and upload an existing form with attachments then i am able to get the list of attachments by calling the Methods SET_TASK_GETATTACHMENTS and GET_ATTACHMENTS of PDF Objects before this PDF is displayed in the next view. (binding the XSTRING of FIle Upload UI to the PDFSOURCE of the ITF).
Here also if i add some new attachments to the PDF and click on submit then these new docs are lost.
In short whenever i add attachments to the pdf dynamically via add attachment option after the PDF is displayed the new attachments are lost.
Please let me know how to correct this.
Thanks,
Abhishek

There is a default functionality provided by Adobe... If all your fields are field, you can not submit. It will prompt .. to fill the form.
Only you have to mark those field as mandatory.
So select the field -> Go to Object Pallet -> Value Tab -> select the type as User entered Required
This will solve your problem.
You can also customise the requirements through scripting language.

How to retrieve Request Form Data in OIM 11g for SOA workflows

Hi,
I have a business requirement wherein, I need to retrieve a field's value inside my SOA composite for further processing and decide on the Approver of the Request. Say for e.g. I'm having a field *"Country"* inside my Request Form, and what i need to do is, as soon as the request form is submitted, I need to retrieve the value for *"Country"* attribute inside my SOA Composite using Payload, and further process it. This scenerio is with respect to provision an application instance to a user.
Now, in a similar scenario, where I was trying to create a user of type *"Contractor"*, I had used Request Service Api to retrieve the Basic information of the userform submitted, and decide on approval. Fortunately, the basic data like, First Name, Last Name, Login etc was successfully being fetched from the Request and I was able to perform further operations.
Unfortunately, the same code which was working for Creation of a User, is not working when I'm trying to provision an application instance to the user.
Below is the code which worked fine for me to retrieve basic request data for user creation, and isn't working for provisioning application instance:
RequestService reqSvc = (RequestService)oimClient.getService(RequestService.class);
String reqId = ((oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement)getVariableData("inputVariable", "payload", "/ns3:process/ns4:RequestID")).getText();
System.out.println("request ID: " reqId);+
Request req = reqSvc.getBasicRequestData(reqId);
List <RequestEntity> targetEntities = req.getTargetEntities();
System.out.println("targetEntities : " targetEntities);+
System.out.println("------------");
for (RequestEntity rea : targetEntities)
+{+
List <RequestEntityAttribute> attributes = rea.getEntityData();
for( oracle.iam.request.vo.RequestEntityAttribute attribute : attributes)
+{+
System.out.println("Attribute.getName() : " attribute.getName().toString());+
     if(attribute.getName().equals("User Manager"))
     +{+
beneficiaryManagerKey = attribute.getValue().toString();
     System.out.println("User Manager : " beneficiaryManagerKey);+
+}+
     e+lse if(attribute.getName().equals("User Login"))+
     +{+
userid = attribute.getValue().toString();
     System.out.println("User Login : " userid);+
+}+
+}+
+}+
Any pointers to this would be of a great help.
Regards

List <RequestEntity> targetEntities = req.getTargetEntities();
System.out.println("targetEntities : " + targetEntities);
System.out.println("------------");
The above piece of code retrieves the attributes and their values from the request form while creating a user, but not from the request form, which provisioning a resource to a user.

Oracle AS Web Cache - How to check whether the request goes throught it ?

Hi,
My application runs on Oracle 10g App Server,
The OracleAS Web Cache is also running
the command opmnctl status shows...
WebCache - Alive
WebCacheAdmin - Alive
Is there any way to check whether the request form the client goes through the Web Cache ?
B'coz when i checked OracleAS Web Cache Administrator UI
The information like Total Requests Served, Cahce Hit , Cache Misses etc are 0 and it does'nt changes...
I have the directive keepAlive as[b] off in httpd.conf, will this have an impact over Web Cache ???
Plz suggest me a way to check whether the request goes through Web Cache or directly to Oracle HTTP Server ??
Deepak.C

Keepalive has no impact on webcache, but it does have a huge impact on performance. So far I found no proper reason to put it off in any production system.
Anyway, logging from webcache and/or apache (ias) should show how requests are going from the client to the AS.

Modify the request by approvar in OIM 11g

Hi,
I have a requirement where- an approver needs to update few fields in the request form and then approve the request.
I am using Oracle 11g R1.
Please let me know how to achive this.

You need to configure your Approval Policies and rule within them to apply to your requests appropriately. By default there is a Request Level, and Operation Level approval (there is also template, but not needed). If you have not configured an approval policy that will cover your request, then it will require those approvals.
