Format Question - Biz Objects

I created a report with 8 data fields; I added a 9th column and included a formula that provides a 'status' for a given line item based on the data pulled within the report. There are three seperate statuses; I then inserted a break which now seperates my three statuses into groups by that status, which is exactly what I want. I can't figure out out to get a 'heading' above the three groups though. Since I created a formula for the column of 'status', it won't let me drag that column heading to 'drop here to create a section' when I am in view structure mode . I would simply like to be able to have a static heading above each section and have scoured the options/formatting/etc. Is that possible to do?
Thanks

New to business objects; valid question you ask. In my 'research', it is only a dimension value that allows for the section headers, which is why I havne't been able to figure this out. That said, I guess I am not clear on exactly what a dimension variable is or how to do that.
To drive my status, I created the following formula in that column:
=(If Not(IsNull([Income])) And (([Address]) <> "To Be Determined") Then "***Needs Action***" ElseIf((([Address]) = "To Be Determined")) Then "No Action - Property TBD" ElseIf(IsNull([Income])) Then "No Action - Incomplete")
Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

Tutorial won't display my Biz Objects

I'm go through the first Business Objects tutorial trying to master the EJB and BC4J thing.
I'm connecting up to an Oracle Applications master schema and creating biz objects from two synonyms.
When I get to the 12th or so step, using the business components data form, it never shows the business objects I created.
I customized my JDev to point my project defaults away from %JAVA_ROOT%. But then I changed them back, since I knew some versions had dependencies on %JAVA_ROOT%\myclasses etc. Nothing fixes this.

I used an existing application module from a project with two business components. But I'll try using the Project now.
Later experiments showed that if I created view links, I could get the views listed on the Master side of the form, but not the Detail side.
The views show up OK in the single-table data form.

Landscape formatting question

Can anyone help me with a formatting question? I have a number of PDFs that are landscape format. Every time I open them they default to portrait, even when I change orientation in page set-up and re-save...

You are only changing the view, not the pdf. Use the Rotate command in the Document menu, not the view menu.

import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class LocalFormating {
public static void main(String[] args) {
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();

Receiving an 'Error formatting cross-tab object' error when paging through preview

I have a report with two subreports in the group footer. One of the subreports contains a cross-tab report. When I preview the report as a whole, occasionally I get an error formatting cross-tab object and then no more pages of the report are displayed. If instead I choose to export the report to pdf, Crystal Reports crashes. Any ideas on what might be causing these problems?

Actually, you can search for them by entering the KBA number in the search box in the top right corner of this web page. KBA 1214209 comes up fine. KBA 1212875 does not, but it's not really applicable.
While we are at the search box, see if a search term like 'crystal cross tab' (or something like that) bring up other KBAs.

Cascading lookup format questions

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of questions regarding formatting the cascading look up fields. I have a list that filters classes and mnemonics by educator which works fine however on the entry form, when the "Educators" drop down menu is changed,
a secondary description box appears. The question is, how do I get rid of that secondary description box?
The second formatting question is that when I have filled out the form, on the edit entry form, there is a hyperlink to the list that the cascading lookup is using as a reference. How do I get rid of that link? See image 002 below

It's not easy to understand the question, please attach the image here.
if you mean to achieve a cascade lookup in SharePoint new/edit form, after selecting one column, the cascaded column below will show with filtered value, otherwise, the column is hidden, you may consider to use JavaScript/JQuery to show/hide the second column,
following is an article about how to use cascaded lookup in SharePoint:

A question about Object Class

I got a question about Object class in AS3 recently.
I typed some testing codes as following:
var cls:Class = Object;
var cst:* = Object.prototype.constructor;
trace( cls === cst); // true
so cls & cst are the same thing ( the Object ).
var obj:Object = new Object();
var cst2:* = obj.constructor.constructor;
var cst3:* = obj.constructor.constructor.c.constructor;
var cst5:* = Object.prototype.constructoronstructor;
var cst4:* = Object.prototype.constructor.constructor.constructor;
var cst6:* = cls.constructor;
trace(cst2 === cst3 && cst3 === cst4 && cst4 === cst5 && cst5 === cst6); //true
trace( cst == cst2) // false
I debugged into these codes and found that cst & cst2 had the same content but not the same object,
so why cst & cst2 don't point to the same object?
Also, I can create an object by
" var obj:Object = new cst();"
but
" var obj:Object = new cst2();"
throws an exception said that cst2 is not a constructor.
Anyone can help? many thanks!

I used "describeType" and found that "cst2" is actually "Class" class.
So,
trace(cst2 === Class); // true
That's what I want to know, Thank you.

I have an Adobe Indesign to Photoshop question - Smart Objects

I have an Adobe Indesign to Photoshop question - Smart Objects
I am copying and placing InDesign photo silhouettes and placing them into a Photoshop document for an online graphic.
I believe that the color holds up very well. It's when the JPG goes through a CMS ingest that the colors warp. A photo technician is able to correct the color.
I just need to get some insight on my process that (I think) I invented - since I don't see any discussions or videos online that back me up.
Any thoughts - or who could I access that might have an answer for me.
Thanks!

You haven't invented anything. Your server-side processing (based on something involving ImageMagik with PHP most likely) is simply stripping/ ignoring color profiles and converting the colors. This is very much the same issue as in your other post - your procedures just don't realyl make sense and you're basicalyl screwing yourself by using this methodology.

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

FI Archive questions for object FI_DOCUMNT

I am on a team that is currently implementing an Archiving strategy for financial data through the FI_DOCUMNT archiving object and we have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to perform the revaluation process on an account (for example the Cash account) for a fiscal period that has already been archived? Transaction F.05
2 Is it possible to redo a transfer to profit centers operation for prior years even if that data has already been archived?
Transactions 1KEH, 1KEI, 1KEJ, 1KEK
3. Since we are using FI ECC (Enterprise Controlling Consolidations), can we retain the consolidation account number for documents that have been archived via an AIS Infostructure?
Also, if we would need to transfer an FI document to a new special ledger for past periods, if it has been archived is that possible? Transaction GCU1
Any help on these questions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The software is named as MediaSource Audio Converter. It comes w/ the MediaSource package which can be found at support/downloads too.
BTW, XtremeAudio is not based on same hardware that those othed X-Fi (PCI) models are so, if you have Li've! 24-bit/Audigy SE/Value or any Audigy 2/4 card there already then you perhaps don't get any other advantage but those couple of bundled additional software only (as like the Chrystalizer).
You can rip CDs and record audio directly to mp3 format by simply using MediaSource Player ... I don't know if there are support for edit VOB or DAT format files (least creative wavestudio 5.0 didn't support) but, supposeingly, there are 3rd party software for this task available.

File format question

can anyone explain the differences in a swf file, a gif file, and a svg file? when would you use one over the other and which is smallest? I get confused about these. Will all of these take transparencies? Thanx for any help.
red

Well, this question cannot be answered easily. It all depends on specific use cases. Let's see:
GIF - Bitmap format. Limited to max. 256 colors. One of those colors may be tagged to be interpreted as transparent by browsers and image viewers. May contain animation by ways of separate, discrete frames. The color palette is distributed to the animation, hence the more differnt colors are used, the more dithering will occur and the uglier it looks. als file size increases considerably, the longer the animation.
SWF - Flash container file. Objects embedded are treated "as is", meaning they are animated procedurally while the file plays. The objects themselves can be pixel images, movie clips, vector art or Flash-internal parametric items. No limitations in color palette or duration, file size only increases the more objects are used. Since the animation must be calculated in realtime during playback, variations in speed may occur, depending on the machine performance.
SVG - Vector based. May contain animation. Rendered on the target device, hence simialr rules as with SWF apply. Support in browsers however is very limited, so it is not widely used. Primarily used on mobile phones for icons and graphic elements (SVG tiny)

Placeholder for question slide objects

Hi,
I see that in a project template, you can add a placeholder for a question slide.
What about the objects on a question slide?
Example:
I use the design template to define the "look-and-feel" of the correct/incorrect messages on the question sldies, also the buttons, question font size etc.
But in the design template, you can't define the position.
Can you do this using placeholders in a project template?
Thanks,
Joan

Hi there
The Question Slide placeholder simply indicates a Question Slide should appear in that spot. If you want to format the placement of objects and whatnot, you *CAN* insert an actual Question Slide in the template and arrange as desired. Then when a project is created that uses the template the question slide will be present with objects arranged as you want.
Cheers... Rick
