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?

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.

How to change the package name for a msg class

Can anybody tell me how to change the package name for a message class.
and how will it effect in the rerport?
thanks in advance
kp

>>and how will it effect in the report?
You wouldn't see any direct effect on the Report.. But if you transport the report to QA & leave the Message class in Dev, it might result in syntax issues & you will not be able to execute the report. Just ensure that both of them get transported to QA & you will be fine.

BAPI_USER_CHANGE
MY_BAPI_USER_CHANGE
For BAPI_USER_CHANGE :
You need to make use of the IMPORT parameter :
ALIAS     TYPE     BAPIALIAS                               User Name Alias
ALIASX     LIKE     BAPIALIASX                               User alias change flag

How to change the tooltip names for my navbar

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the tooltop names on the navbar as i need it to say "Next" instead of "Forward"
Thank guys

For SWF you'll need to edit the applicable playbar.fla
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 x64\Templates\PlaybackFLA\AS3\
In the Localization MovieClip:
var pbcBtnTips_ENU:Array = new Array("Rewind ",
          "Back ",
          "Play ",
          "Pause ",
          "Forward ",
          "Closed Captioning ",
          "Audio On ",
          "Audio Off ",
          "Exit ",
          "Information ",
          "dummy for scratch bar ",
          "Table of Contents ",
          "2x Fast Forward Speed ",
          "4x Fast Forward Speed ",
          "Normal Speed ",
          "Print");
For HTML 5 you'll need to edit the playbarScript.js file:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 x64\Templates\PlaybackFLA\HTML\
cp.playbarTooltips =
AudioOff : 'Audio Off',
AudioOn : 'Audio On',
BackGround : 'BackGround',
Backward : 'Backward',

Height : 'Height',
InnerStroke : 'InnerStroke',
Play : 'Play',
Pause : 'Pause',
Progress : 'Progress',
Rewind : 'Rewind',
Shade : 'Shade',
Stroke : 'Stroke',
Thumb : 'Thumb',

[Beginner] Help! How to change the packet name for an jax-rpc example

Hi
I am new to the JWSDP, I tried to build and deploy the helloservice application (the example in
tutorial), it works fine. But I want to change the packet name from helloservice to books, it
returns error message during the building process.
Here is what I did.
I changed the folder name from helloservice to books.
In helloIF.java and helloImp1.java, changed to "package books"
In build.properties:
example=books
war.path=${tut.root}/examples/jaxrpc/books/${dist}/${deployable.war}
context.path=${hello.context}
portable.war=${context.path}-portable.war
deployable.war=${context.path}.war
In jaxrpc-ri.xml,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webServices
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/dd"
version="1.0"
targetNamespaceBase="urn:foo"
typeNamespaceBase="urn:foo"
urlPatternBase="/ws">
<endpoint
name="MyHello"
displayName="HelloWorld Service"
description="A simple web service"
interface="books.HelloIF"
model="/WEB-INF/model.gz"
implementation="books.HelloImpl"/>
<endpointMapping
endpointName="MyHello"
urlPattern="/hello"/>
</webServices>
In config-interface.xml,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
<service
name="MyHelloservice"
targetNamespace="urn:foo"
typeNamespace="urn:foo"
packageName="books">
<interface name="books.HelloIF"/>
</service>
</configuration>
When I run "ant build", it returns the following error message:
run-wscompile:
[echo] Running wscompile:
[echo] C:\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\../jaxrpc/bin/wscompile.bat -define -d bui
ld -nd build -classpath build config-interface.xml -model build/mo
del.gz
[exec] error parsing configuration file: XML parsing error: com.sun.xml.rpc
.sp.ParseException:1: com.sun.xml.rpc.sp/P-067
[exec] Result: 1
All I want to do is just change the packet name, anyone know how to do it?
Please help me.
Thank you.

For future reference, please post JAXRPC related questions to [email protected]
There is something syntatically wrong with your config.xml. Try reverting back to the original, and try that. Then try modifying it again making sure to only change the packageName.

How to change the display name for Gmail aliases?

I have a Gmail account with multiple aliases. They look like this:
Joe User <[email protected]> (Primary)
Support <[email protected]> (Alias)
Billing <[email protected]> (Alias)
Works great. I'm trying to set up Apple Mail on my new MacBook to support the aliases as well. I am able to input the e-mail aliases, but the display names for all are 'Joe User' which defeats the purpose of having the aliases.
I have to imagine I can do this. Can someone help me out?
Regards,
Dave

Anyone came here, refer to this post.

How to change the machine name for the admin server?

Hi, I've incorrectly set the machine name for my admin server. I now need to change this, but it's not editable (WLS 10.3.3).
Is there a way to edit configuration files to get it changed?
Thanks

Seems all I needed to do was edit config/config.xml (under my domain's path) and change the machine name manually (before shutting the admin server down).

How to change the Tab name for a custom field added in IC Winclient

I have successfully added a field using eewb and it is appearing on my transaction in CIC0 but it is on a tab that says Customer Fields. In EEWB a BADI called ZEEW_CUSTOMER_H01 was generated and it has a methods called CRM_CUSTOMER_H_SET_TITLE. It indicates you should be able to use this to rename the tab but the method is empty. Anyone have an example of the code you pass in to rename the tab screen. Thanks, Lisa

I am not sure about how to change SERVICE_NAME in PL/SQL Developer (if at all it can be done in that ), but you will have to change the SERVICE_NAME in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
1. Locate the entry for PLSExtProc in the file tnsnames.ora at:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
2. Change the SERVICE_NAME = ORCL
3. Save and reconnect

How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

Hello,
At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
Thanks,
- Josh
<Email Edited By Host>

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
(The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

How to change the table's for an existing report

Hello,
How can I change the table names for reports created with a different table name? for e.g If I created a report which included a table called "2009_10_example", How can I change that table to a different table "2010_10_example1".
I am using Crystal reports 2008, and the reports were created using Report Creating Wizard.
Thanks,
Abhishek

In the Database Menu, there is an option Set Datasource Location. This allows you to pick a table from the current tables used, and select a table to replace it with. Press the Update button, and Crystal will swap one for the other. If the field names and data types are all the same, it will automatically change all references throughout the report to the new table's fields.
May I suggest that your tables are set up improperly if you have to change report code to run it for different months? The data should all be in one table with dates, and parameters to select the date range to report on. (That was said in the spirit of helping...)
HTH,
Carl
