How to read a MessageTextInput in an advancedSearch region

Hi,
I am new to OAF and i am working in a Advanced Search Page. There are 4 criteria with which the Search happens and there are 4 messageTextInputs for taking input. Can anyone tell me how to take handle of these textinputs?
I tried
OAPageLayoutBean pageLayout = oapagecontext.getPageLayoutBean();
OAQueryBean query=(OAQueryBean)pageLayout.findChildRecursive("CICopyFromQuery");
OADefaultSingleColumnBean searchBean = (OADefaultSingleColumnBean)query.findChildRecursive("CICopyFromSearch"); -- This was a advancedSearch Region
OAMessageTextInputBean textInputBean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)searchBean.findChildRecursive("Project1");
But it throws null pointer exception, which mean the text input is not inside the above region. can anyone please share a piece of code to find my Inputboxes?
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Regards,
Ganesh

Gyan,
The requirement is a bit different, we are not going to consider that parameter. For that we are making it readonly through personalisation. We have a default parameter which we will run the query and populate the textinput with the default value dynamically. For this we need the handle of the messageTextInput. I used the below code,
OAPageLayoutBean pageLayout = oapagecontext.getPageLayoutBean();
OAQueryBean query=(OAQueryBean)pageLayout.findChildRecursive("CICopyFromQuery");
OATableBean table=(OATableBean)query.findChildRecursive("CICopyFromTbl");
OAAdvancedSearchBean searchBean = (OAAdvancedSearchBean)query.findChildRecursive("CICopyFromSearch1");
OAMessageTextInputBean textInputBean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)searchBean.findChildRecursive("Project1");
if (textInputBean !=null){
textInputBean.setReadOnly(true);
textInputBean.setText(oapagecontext,<dynamicdefaultValue>);
But the control is not getting into the if condition at all, can you please tell me what is going wrong here?
Regards,
Ganesh

download the .exe from the ftp service and use it to target the install directory:

How to read Excel file in flex

Hi,
     I am new to Adobe flex and i dont know how to read Excel in flex and i need coding for that. So anybody help me...
thanks in advance...

Hi
You can read and parse XLS files (only works with xls-files) with urlloader and a ZIP-lib that can read zip-files.
public function loadXLS(url:String):void
            var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
            urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
            urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));
        private function onLoadComplete(even:Event):void
            urlLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
            model.sheetsDict = new Dictionary();
            var zipFile:ZipFile = new ZipFile(urlLoader.data);
            for(var i:int = 0; i < zipFile.entries.length; i++)
                var entry:ZipEntry = zipFile.entries[i];
                var data:ByteArray = zipFile.getInput(entry);
                if(useFile(entry.name, "/sheet([^$]+)"))
                    model.sheetsDict[entry.name.split("xl/")[1]] = new XML(data.toString());
                else if( useFile(entry.name, "/sharedStrings.xml") )
                    model.sharedStrings = new XML(data.toString());
                else if( useFile(entry.name, "/workbook.xml$") )
                    model.workbook = new XML(data.toString());
                else if( useFile(entry.name, "/workbook.xml.rels") )
                    model.rels = new XML(data.toString());
            trace(model.sharedStrings)
to read the xml properly you have to use namespaces in the reader-class
namespace ns1 = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main";
        use namespace ns1;
        namespace ns2 = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships";
        use namespace ns2;
        namespace ns3 = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006";
        use namespace ns3;
        namespace ns4 = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mac:vml";
        use namespace ns4;
        namespace ns5 = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships";
        use namespace ns5;
//Olof

Hi,
I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached.
Trust this would help you solve the issue.

How to read file from remote machine

Hello,
Hi, i would like to know how to read text file from remote machine using java source code, any code ?
Thanks very much;
Best regards
Kim

On the server, perform the following steps:
Parse the request and determine the file to serve
Open a FileInputStream to the appropriate file
Obtain a reference to the Servlet OutputStream
Pipe the bytes from the file to the output stream
Flush and close the streamYou might want to call HttpServletResponse.setContentType("application/octet") to indicate to the browser that a file download will be occurring. Do so before getting the reference to the Servlet's OutputStream.

Why is my macbook pro running slow. It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser. I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out. Would be super grateful. :-)

Hi. This is my first time posting. My Macbook Pro with Os X Mavericks has been running super slow since before I installed Mavericks so I'm pretty sure it's not the OS that has the problem. It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser, particulary google chrome. If mail is open...forget about it, down to a crawl. I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out. Would be super grateful. :-)
P.S. - Also, it sounds like something is loose inside my mac. How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

How to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

Hi, I need to read an entire text file--which actually contains an email message extracted from a content management system-- into a variable in a pl/sql package, so I can insert some information from the database and then send the email. I want to read the whole text file in one shot, not just one line at a time. Shoud I use Utl_File.Get_Raw or is there another more appropriate way to do this?

how to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

What is S.M.A.R.T. and how to read S.M.A.R.T. attributes

Read the bottom for updated information/amendments
Hi everyone,
S.M.A.R.T. is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology.
[size=15]1. S.M.A.R.T. info websites[/size]
OK, now we all know what S.M.A.R.T. stands for. For more details about S.M.A.R.T., here is a comprehensive non-technical explanation about S.M.A.R.T. by pcguide.com. Maxtor has published a white paper on S.M.A.R.T. too. And this is from Seagate. Anyhow, I am not going to discuss whether S.M.A.R.T will protect your harddisk from failure, etc etc here. Let us focus more on S.M.A.R.T. itself.
[size=15]2. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tools[/size]
S.M.A.R.T. data is stored as a tabulated data somewhere in the harddisk as registers. The tools below support reading these registers value from S.M.A.R.T. enabled harddisk.
1. SpeedFan *sign-up is required for download, but it's FREE
2. Active SMART
3. Sisoftware SANDRA 2002.6.8.97 SP1 , older version doesn't support
[size=15]3. S.M.A.R.T. Tabulated Information[/size]
Here is a screenshot captured with SpeedFan.
Let us go through the screenshot. As can be seen, there are 5 columns - Attribute, Value, Worst, Warn and Raw.
Attribute
describes the meaning of the values. As mentioned above, the SMART data is stored as a tabulated data as registers. Each attribute represents one register ID. eg Raw Read Error Rate is register ID 01, register ID 03 is Spin-up Time, etc.
Note that the register IDs are not displayed by SpeedFan, but are displayed by other SANDRA and Active SMART. I have no idea how many S.M.A.R.T. attributes are there, Active SMART stated it can detect more than 35 attributes!
However, some attributes are manufacturer specific. So possibly some attribute names as shown in these SMART tools might not represent the true meaning of the values too!!
Value
is the current relative value of the attribute read from the registers.
Worst
is the worst value ever achieved.
Warn
is the critical threshold value of the attribute. If the Value has reached and OVER this threshold value, with very high probability the harddisk is in trouble. If SMART is enabled in the BIOS, SMART will alert user in the POST screen, with some manufacturer specific error code. You may need to refer to your manufacturer then.
Note : Value, Worst and Warn are all relative values, such as percentage, not actual count. I have no idea how to calculate these values. This is the very S.M.A.R.T. algorithm, isn't it? ?(
Raw
is in fact, the most understandable represented value here! It represents the actual count of the attribute. SpeedFan displays this raw value as hexadecimal numbers. Such as Power On Hours Count is "AA8", which is 2728 in decimal numbers, meaning that the harddisk has been power on for 2728 hours!! There are some Raws represent average rate, such as "CRC Error Rate" etc.
[size=15]4. S.M.A.R.T. Attributes In Detail[/size]
Hopefully by now, you have the basic idea how to read the tabulated data. I will try my best to go through the attributes one-by-one, which after that shall make you understand more about S.M.A.R.T. and of course, starts to appreciate it.
Raw Read Error Rate represents the condition of the physical disk, based on raw (physical) read errors, and physical surface defects.
Spin Up Time is the time taken for the hdd to spin-up. more info
Start/Stop Count is the number of counts (cycles) the hdd start/stop. more info
Reallocated Sector Count - the number of sectors have been reallocated. Surface scan and found bad sector will increase this count. Now this drive has 7 bad sectors already!
Seek Error Rate - how often the drive failed to locate the data (seeking)
Power On Hours Count - the number of hours you have powered on the HDD.
Spin Retry Count - how many time your drive need to attempt to get the drive platter spinning. If this value is more than 1, your drive is seriously in very bad condition!
Calibration Retry Count - represents the number of time your drive perform calibration retry. I am not sure if low-level format would increase this value.
Power Cycle CountThe number of time the hdd has been powered on. On and Off = 1 cycle.
Read Soft Error Rate - should be Soft Read Error Rate. Similar to Raw Read Error Rate but this one depends on logical level, such as error occured in the hdd buffer, etc.
Temperature - The drive temperature, Forget the relative values, read from the Raw value -- "2D" in this example, which is 45C. But my SpeedFan displayed 47C at that time!! SpeedFan seems to produce some +-2C error from actual reading once in a while. :P
Hardware ECC Recovered is the number of counts ECC correction is performed on the data.
Reallocated Event Count - similar to Reallocated Sector Count but this one is on the data.
Current Pending Sector - is the number of counts how many sectors are currently pending. But what is a pending sector?? ?( ?(
Offline Correctable - which is Off-line Scan Uncorrectable Sector Count. Again, what is off-line scan?
UltraATA CRC Error Rate - which is in fact, CRC Error Count instead of rate. As shown, there have been "3C3", which is 883 errors occured already!!!
There are more S.M.A.R.T. attributes, such as
Thoroughput Performance - again, this relative value is surely got from some wierd algorithm again.
Seek Time Performance - some algorithm has been used to calculate this performance value.
Power Off Retract and Load Cycle Count are IBM HDD specific features -- unload the head off the platters when power off. More info on Head Load/unload cycle.
[size=15]5. SpeedFan S.M.A.R.T. Fitness and Performance bars[/size]
I should not comment on this too much because this is Almico's work. I am not sure how he calculate to define the "fitness" and "performance" though. It could probably based on mathematic relation between the current Values and the threshold Warns.
For most hdds, like Maxtor and Seagate's, out-of-the-box the fitness bar has already reaching half-way 50%. But for IBM hdd, the fitness bar is always around 100%. This is because IBM hdd has its threshold/Warn values set to unrealistically high until it's quite unreachable even after a long term use. While for other brand HDDs, the threshold values are more realistic. Thus, the fitness bar in particular, does not tell the true fitness of the HDD. Take it as a reference only. Please always refer back to the Raw values to determine the fitness.
[size=15]6. Conclusion : Judging HDD fitness by our own selves![/size]
Now we all know what the Attributes are, so roughly everyone will have the basic idea how to judge HDD health by our own selves depend on the attributes you're reading. S.M.A.R.T. itself however, define "fitness" and "performance" based on its own algorithm.
We can categorize the attributes into :
Error Related Attributes
"UltraATA CRC Error Rate", "Raw Read Error Rate", "Raw Soft Error Rate", "Hardware ECC Recovered Count", "Reallocated Sector Count", "Reallocated Event/Data Count", Offline Correctable"
-- tell how often are those errors occured. For the above example, this Maxtor harddisk should be RMA-ed for its high CRC Error Rate count.
Drive Fitness Attributes
Spin Up Time, Start/Stop Count, Seek Error Rate, Power On Hours Count, Spin Retry Count, Calibration Retry Count, Power Cycle Count, Power Off Retract Count, Load Cycle Count
-- check "spin retry count" and "Seek Error Rate", any value other than zero is really bad.
Other Attributes
I have no idea what they are for except Temperature.
As the conclusion, understanding S.M.A.R.T. attributes helps in knowing your HDD fitness by your own self, rather than waiting for the S.M.A.R.T. to alert you for severe error. That might be too late already. 8o
Thanks for reading.
Edited:
1. for better reading pleasure
2. added Conclusion
3. added explanations about SpeedFan SMART Fitness and Performance bar.

Well from my observation, whether SMART is disabled or enabled in the BIOS, SMART is always working within the HDD itself.
Basically SMART is acting like a blackbox, monitoring and tabulating HDD condition from time to time and its attributes only fully revealable by the manufacturers. SpeedFan's SMART status only displays partial information that is displayable. Some attributes are hidden, ~OR~ the attributes' locations are different from one HDD to another brand, such that some values don't correspond to the attribute meaning at all.
It is very doubtful to claim that enabling SMART in the BIOS will hog down the performance. Just like a transport bus (yeah real bus that fetch passenger :P ), with or without the black box installed can't help it if the driver wants to speeding. :P

How to read the check box value in alv report

hi experts,
i m working on one alv report where i m using the check box for field selection in alv display.
but i don't know how to read the only selected fields.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'BOX'.
wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'IT_HEADER'.
wa_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'Box'.
wa_fieldcat-checkbox = 'X'.
wa_fieldcat-input = 'X'.
wa_fieldcat-edit = 'X'.
APPEND wa_fieldcat TO i_fieldcat.
CLEAR wa_fieldcat.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'AUFNR'.
wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'IT_HEADER'.
wa_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'Sales Doc'.
wa_fieldcat-hotspot = 'X'.
APPEND wa_fieldcat TO i_fieldcat.
CLEAR wa_fieldcat.

CASE r_ucomm.
when '&RELEAS'.
endcase
endform.
i gone through some already posted que for same problem i tried options like
loop at it_header.
endloop.
but i m getting box field empty.
is there i missed something? plz sugeest.. if u have any other solution plz post...

Have this code in your user command fm:
* For capturing changed data
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
    IMPORTING
      e_grid = w_grid.
CALL METHOD w_grid->check_changed_data
    IMPORTING
      e_valid = w_valid.
IF w_valid = 'X'.
loop at itab where mark = 'X'.
endloop.
ENDIF.

Ravi
