Creating an Alert on a Parameter

Hello,
I have a parameter that is defined as a range and I want to limit the user to only enter or select up to 4 enteries, how do I set up an alert to accomplish this? I have tried HasUpperBound with no success, any help will be greatly appreciated. I will also need to build an Alert on a string parameter field to validate that it is formated correct for a date and time parameter. Any example that you can provide will be again very much appreciated... Thanks for all your help...

Angela,
Other than creating 4 different parameters that do not allow multiple values you could create a formula that causes an error within Crystal Reports if there are more than 4 range values. As the error wouldn't specifically relate to having more than 4 values you could add a comment to the formula that explains why the user is getting an error.
A sample formula would be;
//You have entered more than 4 date ranges. This report will error out when more than 4 ranges
//are selected and will not run. Please select 4 or less date ranges.
if ubound({?My Parameter}) > 4 then datetime(2008/(count({Orders.Customer ID})-1000),1,1,0,0,0) else datetime(1900,1,1,0,0,0);
As there are less than 1000 customer ids subtracting 1000 from the count will output a number that the datetime function cannot process and you will get an error
Date must be between the year 1 and 9999.

How can I create an alert in iTunes store?

I would like to create an alert in iTunes store, such that whenever a new album of a specific group appears I will receive an email.
Is that possible? if so , how ?
Best regards,
Gabriel.

If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

Calendar is creating unwanted Alerts

I use Calendar on iCloud across four devices: iMac, MacBookAir, iPad and iPhone. All running current (10.8.3; 6.1.3) OS.
Recently, Alerts are being added to my Calendar events on the iOS devices, and I don't know how this is occuring.
Example: Suppose I create a recurring event in Calendar on my iMac... to Get Up at 6 a.m. every day, and I make sure I don't create an alert. That event appears on my iMac with no alert.
However, when I open it on my iPad and iPhone, it has an alert: At time of event. Where did this come from?
I have checked that all default alerts are set to off in Calendar preferences on the computers, and also on the iOS devices in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Calendars / Default, and also accessing iCloud preferences via Safari.
I have tried logging out of my iCloud account on both iOS devices, deleting everything, and signing on, and it does the same thing with every single event. It adds the alerts that I don't want.
Also intriguing, if I DO set an alert in a new event on the iMac, the event shows up on the iOS devices with TWO alerts.
This began out of the blue about two weeks ago, and I can't find a solution. I am getting a lot of alerts that I do not want.
Does anyone else have the same problem? ...And hopefully a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar problem. The Calendar app in iOS (iPhone 4S) is automatically setting for me a second alert for events that is nine hours after the event itself. I have not set any second alert as a default, and even if I did I wouldn't set the alert for nine hours later. Still, I changed my default alerts on Calendar in both iOS and OSX (Mountain Lion) to "none"; I have switched off iCloud sync for Calendar; and I have made sure my reminders in Google are also set to "none". I am still having the problem. I have visited my local Apple store. Unfortunately, the associate didn't understand why I was having the problem either and thus could offer no solution. The only thing that works is going into the Calendar app and manually deleting the second alert for each event, which isn't really a solution to the problem. I have sent a report into Apple about this, but I too welcome any advice.

When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
thank you
dovid

It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

How to create an alert in Oracle Applications

Can anyone help me, I want to be able to create an alert (not email) that will pop up on the screen of Oracle Applications 11i
to remind everyone to change the passwords in xx days. I know there are alerts that send email, but people hardly check their emails
promptly in my organization so I wish to use forms to create an alert that will pop up on the screen.
Thanks.

I think there is some confusion here! The solution that has been outlined is the 'standard' way of achieving the result that a user has to change his/her password every xx days. BUT, this will only prompt them when they try to log in AFTER the xx days has expired.
I think you are asking for a method of alerting the user xx days BEFORE the password is due to expire, like Windows for example.
I am not an expert in technical changes to forms (e.g. forms personalisation), but I thought it might help if I clarified what I think you are asking. Others may have the actual answer!
An alert would possibly achieve what you want, but consider this... if users don't read their emails, and they only log in occasionally, what use is alerting them on the system going to be? They will still only see the alert when they log in, and that may already be after the password has expired!
If my interpretation is wrong, please update this thread so I don't confuse anybody.

Tim

How to create an alert at the list item of List box in vbs/c sharp

Dear All,
I need to know how can we create an alert, or a message on the execution of the last item in the List box.

What do you mean by "on the execution of the last item in the list box"? Do you mean when that last item of a ListBox is selected? If so, you could use the following code:
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) _
Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim lb As ListBox = CType(sender, ListBox)
If lb.SelectedIndex = lb.Items.Count - 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Last item is selected")
End If
End Sub

How do I create an alert for a collection?

Hi,
I created a collection that queries computers with Endpoint definition files of 7 days and older. Now, I want an email alert daily what computers are in that collection. How do I do that?
Please give me some steps if possible because I am not familiar creating an alert.
If you have an alternate/easier way, my goal is to receive email alerts of computers with old Endpoint definiton files 7 days or older.
Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,
So I created a report and it shows under Subscriptions (just like how it was instructed). I also check Administration \ Site configuration \ Sites \ Configure Components \ Email notifications and tested, all is good.
I noticed that under "Report Delivered By: I only have "Windows File Share". No Deliver by Email option.
I see that the report ran as how I wanted it. The result was there but where is my email? Am I missing any more steps?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Creating an Alert Based on Category

Hi ppl,
We have requirement to create an alert based on the category we choose in the category modeler. Is it possible to do so in standard?
I couldnt find an attribute for category. So, I tried to create a new attribute in the repository, using FG_ICWC_ORDER as the fact gathering service. But couldn't make it working.
Does it work when we use this fact gathering service? I left the Input Support Class blank in Input Support for Conditions. Do we have a input support class for categories?
Has anyone of you have had a similar requirment before? Any help would be great!
Regards,
Shwetha

Hi,
Why don't you define a new event. The same can be done at the following path:
IMG>Customer Relationship Management>Interaction Center WebClient>Additional Functions>Intent-Driven Interactions>Define Events in Repository
You would need to know the name of the component and the view to define the event and this you could get by pressing F2 in the relevant WEB UI screen.

OSB 11g: Can I create an Alert Destination to call another webservice?

Hi All,
We would like to send Alert message via SMS to speified person.
As we have already a web service to send SMS, can we just create an Alert Destination to call this web service to do that?
Thanks for your help!
Edited by: FrankieHuang on May 2, 2013 12:44 AM

you can use a JMS queue as your alert destination and have a process listening on the JMS queue to invoke the webservice.#
You dont have a direct option to call a service from your alert mechanism..

Create an Alert in Oracle forms 9i

I created an Alert in the form with two buttons (YES,NO buttons). Where to insert the codes for YES button and NO button?
Please help! Thanks
Patty

The Forms Help System will show you have to do this. Look up "FIND_ALERT" and there are examples. The SHOW_ALERT built-in is a function and returns a constant that identifies the button selected by the user. The following was taken directly from the FIND_ALERT help topic:
/*** Built-in: FIND_ALERT
** Example: Show a user-warning alert. If the user presses
** the OK button, then make REALLY sure they want
** to continue with another alert. */
DECLARE
al_id Alert;
al_button NUMBER;
BEGIN
al_id := Find_Alert('User_Warning');
IF Id_Null(al_id) THEN
     Message('User_Warning alert does not exist');
     RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
ELSE
    /* ** Show the warning alert */
    al_button := Show_Alert(al_id);
   ** If user pressed OK (button 1) then bring up another
   ** alert to confirm -- button mappings are specified
   ** in the alert design */
   IF al_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
     al_id := Find_Alert('Are_You_Sure');
     IF Id_Null(al_id) THEN
       Message('The alert named: Are you sure? does not exist');
       RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
     ELSE
       al_button := Show_Alert(al_id);
       IF al_button = ALERT_BUTTON2 THEN
         Erase_All_Employee_Records;
       END IF;

Are you trying to do something like an alert in javascript?
Try this:
1. Create an extension field of type BigText (this can be made hidden through page customization)
2. Write the following script in your script. I put it on load of the document. you can put it in any event.
String str = "<body onLoad=\"alert('this is from my alert');\"/>";
BigTextIfc st = doc.getExtensionField("MRO_TEST").get();
st.setText(str);
However, you can condition it based on your requirement.
Hope this helps.

You can use the web enabled portal of ASWE. This can be found in one of the folders:
oracle home/panama/server/portal/Login.jsp
oracle home/panama/server/papz/
please add an alias to your apache webserver so that you can run the Login file. Once your are logged in you can add alert addresses and alerts.
Be aware that you need to configure an sms server if you would like to create alert services for mobiles. You can also add an email adress.
Good luck

Create metric alert in OEM 12c for windows services

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to create metric alert for services on a windows host, so that when any service is in stopped state, we will get an alert.
We can check the status of services from OEM that are running in a windows server.
Host -> Monitoring -> All Metrics -> Services
I got below command from this forum that was posted a long time ago,
nmefwmi "wbem_wql=select name, pathname, processid, Started, startmode, state, status from win32_service" "wbem_wql_column_order=name, pathname, processid, Started, startmode, state, status" "wbem_namespace=root\cimv2"
However, I am not sure where to run this command. Basically we want to get an alert when a windows service stops.

Hi Abid,
Ensure you are logged in as sysman user or any other super Admin user
Go to Host -> Monitoring -> All Metrics -> Services >
Next to Collection Schedule there is a modify button > click on that
It will show a new page having following options
Data Collection Enabled Disabled (Select Enabled here)
Frequency
Default is 15 min , if you want then you can change it accordingly

Rahul
