Enquiry System in Workspace

Hi all,
Can I implement a Enquiry System that query database and return some results in Workspace? I tried to do it in search form and assign the results using "AssignTask" back to the creator, but the user will need to check his "To Do" list to retrieve the results. Can the result and search form in the same Form/Task without the user going to the "To Do" list?
Thank you.

There is another way. Similar to Jasmin's suggestion, but instead of prepopulating the data into the form, get the form to invoke a web service. You can pass parameters to the web service to determine what search you want to do, and can parse the results, and populate a table (or whatever) in the form.
You can write the web service itself using whatever tools you like, including (my personal preference:-) a livecycle orchestration - so all the connection and query logic are in the backend, not the form - the form just does the user interface.
We do this all the time in many of our forms to retrieve "lookup" data to dynmamically populate dropdowns, etc. If you'd like some assistance getting this set up, email info-at-avoka.com.
Another option would be to build a flex application, and embed this into the Workspace as an initial form.

  • IR Connection to System 9 WorkSpace

    Hello.

  • Workspace webapp does not open up after upgrade to EPM11.1.2.2

    Hi All, After upgrading EPM11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 the Workspace does not open up on IE8/9. Note that HSS works fine.

    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Before the upgrade it, HSS+Workspace+EAS+APS used to run on OHS. I have now configured all the managed servers to run on Embedded WebLogic server, so we are no longer using the 19000 OHS (web server) port.
    I try to access Workspace from port 28080 as follows: http://foundation-server.company.com:28080/workspace/index.jsp
    I have successfully used the same EPM11.1.2.2 upgrade configuration in DEV and QA and workspace opens up on 28080 (though there are issues with it running on IE9..  but that seems to be an isolated issue). So I will look for duplicate Workspace entries in the registry  report ..
    Thanks,
    Kent

  • How do I change the desktop picture on *all* windows with Lion?

    I'm sure I'm just missing a simple setting, but ...  I changed the desktop background to something I found I thought I'd like, using right click/use as desktop background.  Didn't like it.  Went to System prefs to change it, and selected the Pond Reeds pic that comes preloaded with Lion.  Great!  Except it only changed it to that in one workspace.  All the others still have the background I don't like, and going to each workspace, right clicking and choosing "change desktop picture" just shoots me back to the system prefs workspace and doesn't change anything.  What's the right answer   (It's an older MacBook Pro, but running Lion, just upgraded to it a few days ago.)

    Thank you!!!  I knew it must be something simple, that I just haven't had time to figure out yet (the day after I upgraded, my son went into the hospital and had to have heart surgery, so I haven't spent a lot of time getting to know Lion.).  Your help is much much appreciated!

  • SQL Query (updateable report) CheckBox Update Problem

    My process will update 1 or 2 rows, but fails on three or more rows. All the rows on the page can be processed, up to 2 at a time.
    The SQL Query Report can have 50 rows on a page. Only the check box and the hidden primary key column are returned by the report to the process (marked as edit).
    If I issue the update myself, I can update any number of rows with no error.
    If I change the update SQL to a select, it works for the all of the checked lines (the correct count is displayed in the process message.

    Query is at the end. The Report Regions is a SQL Query (Updatable Report).
    I don't thinks this is my code problem.
    The system I'm using is dieing. It has had two disk crashes, which spinrite brought back. I've restored from a partition image and a full cold backup. Then I've had a number of blue screen failures. One of the DBAs working for me rebuilt the 11g instance on a VM and restored the cold backup. Everything runs fine there. I even applied the latest code export from the failing systems development workspace to the VM based system. Still runs fine.
    There are a number of abends in the alert log ORA-07445 and ORA-21779 for which our on-site ASC Engineer has opened a TAR/SR. I suspect that some part of one of the FLOW tablespaces was damaged, a part which deals with runtime APEX. Build time is running fine. Application just does not, either as a runtime or in the development system.
    We are moving to a new AIX server, just finishing the setup and then I can send over the exports. That should put this to bed.

  • Connecting to PAPI Process Service when using LDAP

    We have Oracle BPM 10.3 set up with using LDAP as the directory for participants. In order to connect to the PAPI process service we want to use a system id that is a non user but set up in LDAP. How do we do this? Is there any special role or security group needed for this user, i.e. does it need Process Admin user privileges?

    HI
    Yes, this definitely will need a password, which is the same as the password you will use to log into the system (BPM Workspace or the external application that makes PAPI calls).
    The way we have implemented this is: We have an external J2EE application (app A) that makes use of the papi calls, deployed on weblogic. The BPM engine is also deployed on the same weblogic domain. THe BPM application can then be configured to be used in the Single Sign On mode and deployed. In such a scenario when the user types in the url for the BPM workspace, the login page for app A will be shown.
    THe LDAP that you use to configure the BPM directory, can also be used to create a security provider in the security realm of the weblogic (using weblogic console). THis will ensure that any application (in this case app A) deployed on weblogic will use this users/groups from this LDAP for authentication purposes. This completes the setup, so we have app A and BPM application both authenticating against the same LDAP and BPM application is configured in SSO mode.
    When the user comes to the login page of appA, the corresponding servlet can store the password in the session and then forward to the worklist app page (if you want that). The BPM login page will NOT come up, since BPM can authenticate the user based on his login into appA. Later (let us say during the external task execution; when the servlet of appA is called from BPM), you can use the password stored in the session to create the papisession object for the logged in user.
    Recently I started a blog, where I have an example of PAPI (as this is one of the favourite questions of BPM users). YOu can check it out

  • Short dumps

    hI
    Can any one explain me the key feautres in analyzing short dumps if we get for any ABAP program.
    Thanks.
    Venkat.

    ABAP Dump Analysis (ST22)
    All the data saved in SNAP table. & text messages saved in SNAPT.
    ABAP Dumps is the default workspace for the Logs and ABAP Dumps navigator group. The ABAP Dumps workspace provides status information for each mySAP ABAP dump generated for the mySAP managed system that you are monitoring. ABAP Dumps is a predefined workspace that contains the following specific information for each dump:
    u2022     Program associated with the dump
    u2022     Host computer where the dump originated
    u2022     User who created the dump
    u2022     Date and time the dump was created
    u2022     Names of the instances associated with ABAP dumps
    u2022     Summary count of dumps by program
    u2022     Summary count of dumps by user
    You can use the data for specific dumps for the following purposes:
    u2022     Identify the number of ABAP dumps generated for a specific mySAP instance
    u2022     Identify runtime problems that are occurring on your system
    The workspace table view has predefined launch definitions. You can use the launch definitions to run the following transactions on the mySAP system:
    Some common dumps : -
    1) COMPUTE_INT_TIMES_OVERFLOW
    Whole number overflows on multiplication & addition operation.
    Always Declare Result field Larger.
    per =    ( act / budget ) * 100.
    bal =    it_out1-balance + bal .
    pr =     it_out1-t_wtext_pr + pr
    2) COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW
    A value does not fit in a calculation field.
    You may need to define the result field to be larger.
    1.     Showu2019s error on internal table. (multiplication & addition)
    3) Time out
    Reason for error:-
    After a certain time, the program terminates to free the work process
    for other users who are waiting.
    2.     The current setting is 1800 seconds.
    3.     Primary Index not Used & Sequencing not proper.
    4.     Avoid Nested Loops.
    5.     Avoid to use select single in loops
    6.     Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING TO
    7.     Avoid using SELECT in loops.
    8.     SORT the internal table always and use BINARY SEARCH.
    9.     for all entries that time check  SY-TFILL.
    4)     DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL       
    The data read during a SELECT access could not be inserted into the
    target field.
    Check the Sequence of the select Query field & internal table fields.
    5)     DBIF_DSQL2_OBJ_UNKNOWN
    Because of Database is not properly connected to Level 2 server.
    1)     when ur using set  Connection command to connect Level 2 server
    That time check the value of Sy-subrc = 0 .
    6)     SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC
    Its show the Error when you are going to insert duplicates record in database using
    Insert command.
    There are three ways to solve this problem.
    1     Delete adjacent duplicate.
    ii.     Insert ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS
    iii.     modify command
    7.     CONVT_NO_NUMBER
    Solution:-The program attempted to interpret the value "RTGS " as a number, but
    since the value contravenes the rules for correct number formats,
    this was not possible.
    1.     put Input Validation using If Query
    2.     when programmer try to pass the Char value to  num  field
    3.     or trying to perform Pack or unpack operation on Char. Fields.
    8.      CALL_TRANSACTION_NOT_FOUND
    Transaction " " is not listed in the table of transaction codes
    The current ABAP/4 program uses CALL TRANSACTION to call the Transaction
    & Leave to Transaction
    Table TSTC (Transactions) contains no entry for the Transaction " ". This could be due to a program error (incorrect transaction code specified).
    Ensure that upper/lower case is correct.
    1.     Use capital Values because itu2019s case sensitive.
    9)     Table_invalid_index.
    When you are going to perform Read Insert, update, Delete operation Using index Value & index value = 0. That time it shows this error.
    Check the index value is less then or equal to zero.
    10)     DATASET_CANT_OPEN
    OPEN DATASET / TRANSFER / CLOSE DATASET
    Check Sy-subrc = 0.
    11     LIST_TOO_MANY_LPROS
    At present, the maximum permitted number of nested screen levels is
    restricted to 50.
    Set by BASIS.
    Use leave to transaction u2018Tcodeu2019 to close all Screens at the end of the program.
    12     . DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR
    Because of Database is not properly connected to Level 2 server.
    1 when ur using set  Connection command to connect Level 2 server
    That time check the value of Sy-subrc = 0 .

  • Audit View configuration

    Hello,
    I have a question about de tracking module of the Workspace.
    I must customize it for one of my clients.
    In the Audit panel of a process Instance, its possible to watch the form of each task, but only the owner of a task can see the form.
    My client needs that every user that has participated in a process instance must be able to access all the tasks forms, even if hes not the owner.
    Is it possible to configure a read access to all participants ?
    thanks

  • [GUIDE] Use KWIN with GNOME

    Hello!
    I installed KDE on my [TEST] partition last night and gave it an 'honest' spin and I was impressed by it. I have been a die-hard kind of GNOME guy uptil now but ...
    Anyways, since most of the things I liked about KDE were related to KWIN I thought about trying it in my [MAIN] GNOME setup. So I did some googling and then went through with it. I must say I did manage to do what I wanted to so I thought about sharing it with the community. My [MAIN] working install is GNOME 3 with 'Force Fallback' enabled, or GNOME Classic as some call it. Please note that your mileage may vary so don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out the way you want it to.
    Here are the steps I took:
    1. mounted my [TEST] partition to /media/
    2. ran 'sudo pacman -S kdebase-workspace --cachedir /media/[TEST]/var/cache/pacman/pkg' ...#since I had done a fresh install just last night, this saved me about a 100MB of download :-)
    3. ran Alt+F2 and 'kwin --replace' just to try it out
    4. tried putting 'export WINDOW_MANAGER=kwin' in '~/.profile' but it didn't work ...#i was trying to find a way to use kwin at startup instead of metacity
    5. tried creating the key '/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager=/usr/bin/kwin' in gconf-editor but that didn't work either
    6. then i thought of something very simple! I installed fusion-icon and put it in startup using gnome-session-properties and then I just had to select the Window Manager as kwin only once. Now fusion-icon automatically loads kwin at log-in. I know it isn't the most elegant way but it works!
    7. well almost everything worked with that except the workspaces. The gnome-pager-plugin would only give me one workspace with no option to increase the number of workspaces. I had to logout, log back in using 'KDE Plasma Desktop' session from GDM, logout again and when i logged into GNOME session there was a 'KDE System Settings' menu entry in 'Applications > Other'. Using KDE System Settings > Workspace Behaviour > Virtual Desktops the number of desktops can be changed very conveniently.
    Well thats about it. Kwin's composting is really nice in GNOME and I have found a cool Window Decorator called 'deKorator' with many nice themes. Do give it a try and let me know how it goes

    generic_ wrote:which is faster? or more configurable
    they are both equally configurable. Fluxbox has a text based configuration. Openbox has an xml based configuration -- which is more or less just text - only in a particular format, with start and end tags. As for speed, you will have to use them to find out. They both use just about the same amount of memory. It all comes down to what you feel comfortable with. I have never liked the default Fluxbox themes, but there are loads of themes available which make it look real nice. Openbox too has a bunch of themes, although I tend to stick with the Onyx and Onyx-Citrus from the default ones.

  • Eclipse won't die

    I have been having this problem ever since jdk 1_5_0_03, I now use 1_5_0_08, Eclipse is 3.2.1-1. I have a few plugins installed, but the problem is reproducible with a fresh Eclipse install, so I don't think this is the issue.
    The problem itself is that when I try to close Eclipse it doesn't die -- 2 processes are left sleeping on the system, the workspace remains locked, but the worst part is that somehow they hook to the keyboard, and do not let any key events to reach X -- I have no keyboard untill the processes are manually killed (luckily, Ctrl+Alt+F1 works).
    Running eclipse with strace -f, I get the following before the processes hang:

  • Gnome-do pops up below last opened window [SOLVED]

    I am using KDE 4.5.1 with arch. Recently, I had problems while installing  bespin-svn package from AUR. I couldn't change the Widget style under System Setting > Common Appearance and Behavior > Style > Application tab > Widget style. I wanted to change it back to Plastique because Bespin did not work right. I guess my mistake was that I deleted besptin-svn package before I changed Widget style.
    I was not able to open Style window in System Setting. Whenever I try, it opened and closed right away. So, I decided to delete ~/.kde4 folder. And it bring me the default environment. Now I am trying to configure KDE as it was. After half day of struggling, I got almost of the environment.back.
    The problem comes when I press CTRL-SUPER-space to popup gnome-do. It is always blocked by last opened window. I had the problem when I stall gnome-do first time. Somehow I figured out. But I do not have long memory. I forgot the howto. I am sure this can be solved by changing configuration in KDE System Setting since it happen after I remove ~/.kde4 folder.
    I made a screen cast in Youtube. This shows what problem I have now.

    I got a help from kde forum. I changed the option "Focus stealing prevention level" from Low to None under System Setting > Workspace Appearance and Behavior > Window Behavior > Window Behavior > Focus tab. Thank you.
