Sorting on non-displayed items - can it be done ?

Hi,
I'm very new to Discoverer (and this forum), so apologies if I'm covering old ground.
I've created a simple discoverer table report and the folder I've based the data on has a number of columns that determine the sort order i.e. called 'activity_type_sort_order', 'activity_sort_order', 'enclosure_order_order' - this is because the related columns activity_type, activity and enclosure are VARCHAR but contain numeric values.
Hence, the existing application displays the data in the correct order in the Forms and Reports without showing the user the underlying columns that are determining the order.
I want to do something similar in Discover i.e. produce a report that displays the columns activity_type, activity, enclosure but sorts the data based on 'hidden' columns activity_type_sort_order, activity_sort_order and enclosure_sort_order.
I tried creating my first Discoverer report and it seems to need the activity_type_sort_order, activity_sort_order and enclosure_sort_order as displayed items in the workbook in order to all the rest of the data to be sorted.
Is there any way I can sort using these fields but not actually display them ?
I've read that I can create an alternate sort in the EUL but I've got 1000's of values.
Can anybody help ?
Many thanks

Hi,
You should be able to use the hidden sort option. In the sort tab add the sort columns and then change the sort type to be hidden.

Sort a non database item

I have one datablock (ma_erz) in my forms based on the table test1.
Datase-Items of table test1:
:ma_erz.MAE_ID,
:ma_erz.MAE_SYSART
Non-Database-Items:
:ma_erz.L_KM_USERNAME
My problem is, that I could not sort the records of a non-database-item.
Does anybody know a workaround? I would like to sort the records to username.
I am saving the username in :MA_ERZ.L_KM_USERNAME in Post-Query
of datablock ma_erz:
/* CGFK$QRY_LOOKUP_DATA */
/* Query lookup data for the foreign key(s) */

    set_block_property('MA_ERZ', DEFAULT_WHERE, CG$PROTOTYP_MA_ERZ_V01_GLOBALS.MA_ERZ_WHERE);
    CG$PROTOTYP_MA_ERZ_V01_GLOBALS.MA_ERZ_WHERE := 'first_time';
END IF;
END;

Or, even simpler, put the following in your order by:
ORDER BY (SELECT THELOOKUPCOLUMN
            FROM THELOOKUPTABLE X
           WHERE X.MAE_ID=Y.MAE_ID)Additionally, set the ALIAS of the block to Y
p.s. you could even skip the "ORDER BY" itself.

About UNZIP with password, is there any non-free tool can get it done? Than

I am trying to use JAVA on our web application to unzip some ZIP file, however, those ZIP has password on it. Although I know what the password is, I can not make program unzip for me, since we all know that JAVA's bulit-in unzip engine does not support password.
My question is: If I like to pay for whatever the solution is, is there one JAVA version that support unzip with password? If not, is there any other way to solve this?
Thank you very much

What is use of Item Category N(non-stock item) in BOM creation

Dear Experts,
What is use of Item Category N(non-stock item) in BOM creation ?
regards
rajakarthik

Hi,
This item category is used for components which are not kept in stock if they are used in a bill of material (BOM). Non-stock items can be entered in the BOM with or without a master record. To enter a non-stock item without a master record, you must simply enter a descriptive text.
When you use this item category, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition for these components,
Special functions
The following functions are supported for non-stock items
You maintain purchasing data for non-stock items in the bill of material.
In the planning run, the system generates purchase requisitions
instead of dependent requirements for components that are procured directly. When you configure your R/3 System for MRP, you can define whether direct procurement is triggered by the planning run or by production order management.
Product costing processes take valuation data from the BOM item.
The system determines the release strategy on the basis of the price data you enter. The material group is required to produce a purchase requisition.

MR11- for non material item

I just try to do for one PO with all non material item and
I can't do MR11 for non material item..
error:      Error while determining the currency types for 6302400500 00010

Hello,
a non material item can be a text item but it can be also a service item.
This depends from your customizing. Which item type is relevant for your non material item.
In the item type you can maintain if an item is relvant for pricing or not.
Please have a look in transaction VOV7. Here you can set the flag 'Pricing'.
This flag can have the following specification:
      Blank No pricing
X     Pricing standard
A     Pricing for empties
B     Pricing for free goods (100% discount)
I hope that the information are helpful.
Best regards
Claudia

Avoid bar to display or not non secure items

When I insert to
http://paphoscarhire.com/
pickup date bigger than drop off date, to get error (in ie7 only) ,
appears a window to display or not non secure items, and to
document window a bar, well why this ? what to do to avoid this
?

please clarify what it is you are asking?
there are two possibles i see-
One, you have a flash .swf file that will need to be
double-clicked to work
and will probably bring up an activeX warning.
The fix for that is to edit the page in dw8.02 or CS3 or to
use different
code to display it. Google .swf eolas lawsuit
the other possible is that the form's action is to an https
url.
I don't know why that is used, unless in the next step or so
of the form
process you are asking for credit card or other sensitive
info.
If i load the script page itself without submitting, i see
there the css
file has a path to Your hard drive.
<link
href="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/User/My%20Documents/My%20Webs/pc
h/styles.css"
that could cause the page to display a warning that there is
a mix of secure
and insecure data on the page.

ITunes store displays items in 'Recent Bestsellers'order by default-can I change it?

I'm a new convert to the iPhone and iTunes world and generally I find things are easy to use and it's easy to get answers to questions
if I get a little confused,however I do have one question that I can't seem to find an answer to.
I am a big comedy fan and lately I have been downloading episodes of my favorite shows from the iTunes store but one thing I find
annoying is that if I go to the store,click on tv shows,then comedy,iTunes displays items available in 'Recent Bestsellers' order by default,
I can click the arrow in the corner and it will display them in alphabetical order for me but if I click on an item to view the synopsis of the
particular episode then use the back arrow to return to the category iTunes has changed it back again!
Is there any way that I can change it to display items alphabetically by default? I can't seem to find any option for doing so but maybe
I wasn't looking hard enough,may seem a trivial issue but if I want to find an episode of a series that isn't that popular I have to go looking for it.
Anyone able to help?
Cheers
N'oz

Hi rodtheprod,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If a movie from the iTunes Store supports multiple languages, they can usually be changed as outlined in the following article:
iTunes: Language settings for video
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5562
If this is not possible and no changes have been made to the country settings for the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading the movie (if it is still available):

AppStore displays permanently an update avaible and there is none really, how can I solve these little problem?

AppStore displays permanently an update avaible and there is none really, how can I solve these little problem?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Sync with iTunes
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
I myself would live with it before doing the following
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Portlet Item Attr: "Link That Displays Item in New Browser Window"

I have been searching the forums for a similar experience, but haven't found anything quite like this:
I have a couple of portlets. One is a Discoverer Portlet, the other is something more basic: The "Developer News" portlet from the 9iAS Community portlet provider.
After defining the portlets and looking at them, I edit the page and click the Edit button (little pencil) to edit the attributes.
There are radio buttons for Display Options.
One option is: "Link that Displays Item in New Browser Window."
When I select this, OK, and then go back to the page, **the portlet doesn't show at all any more! There is no link, no nothing. Note that I have defined a Display Name, which should be the text for the link.
It would seem that this feature flat out doesn't work.
This technique for a popup works fine for an "Item" defined in an item region.
Anyone?

Yes -- I did do that after reading an article on metalink about such issues.
This actually changes the problem.
When I add the "Display name and image link" attribute to the region, I now do get a link.
However, clicking it brings up an undefined Discoverer portlet.
It works great for non-Disco portlets. For instance, I was able to pop up the "Developer News" portlet from the Oracle 9iAS Community portlet provider.
I think the problem is that the link that Disco produces does not provide enough information to bring up the particular portlet. For instance, the URL does not have the workbook name, the worksheet name, the parameter values, etc.
If anyone uses Disco w/ the portal, I would be curious to hear if anyone can reproduce this apparent bug / limitation.

Function not returning database rows properly in non-database item

Hi,
I have 3 database items that I'd like to concatenate into one field and display it in a non-database item. I have setup two different methods to do this for testing purposes. First, I created three separate database items (SECTION, ROW, & SEAT_NUM) and a non-database item (SEAT). I created a formula (in SEAT) to do the concatenation and this way works fine. For my second method, I created a function where I selected the 3 fields and performed a concatenation into a single value to be returned in a seperate non-database item (SEAT_TEST).
Here's my function:
FUNCTION SeatLocation(p_id IN event.id%TYPE)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
CURSOR a IS
(SELECT ltrim(rtrim(event.section,' '),' ')||' '||
ltrim(rtrim(event.row,' '),' ')||' '||
ltrim(rtrim(event.seat_num,' '),' ') seat
FROM event
WHERE event.id = p_id);
BEGIN
FOR rec IN a LOOP
IF rec.seat IS NOT NULL THEN
RETURN rec.seat;
ELSE
RETURN ' ';
END IF;
END LOOP;
END SeatLocation;
And I'm calling it in a POST_QUERY trigger with the following: :event.seat_test := SeatLocation(:event.id);
I put both non-database items side-by-side, run the form, and the first method works fine. I doesn't quite work for the function to display in SEAT_TEST. For my program, an ID can have multiple seat locations and I'd like to display all those seats as I scroll through the form (for a given ID). What the function is returning is only the first records seat location even though there are two more locations (from the remaining two records) that need to be displayed, but are not. It works fine for the formula method. Is there a work around this within my function code and/or the SEAT_TEST item? I'd like to keep my function instead because I could use the code elsewhere. I thought that since there is more than one record retrieved for a particular ID, the for loop would return one value each loop iteration and display the different value seat locations as I scroll/arrow down through the form. I didn't know if you had to call the POST-QUERY trigger multiple times for the number or records you retrieve in the cursor. I hope this makes sense.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric

Even though your function is written to loop through multiple records, as soon as it hits the first one inside the FOR loop, it returns that value. The Return command is an exit, so the function is done, and you cannot expect it to magically run a second time just because the cursor found more than one row.
You need to pass the function all the parameters to form a unique key into the row you are looking up. ID is not unique.
