SPAU actions with grey notes

Hello folks!
Guide me please,
There are many threads in SCN about grey notes, but nothing about one thing. Must i import requst with reseted notes, of course, from DEV to PRD system?
wbr,Albert

The status of SAP-delivered code really should be in sync between DEV, QAS, and PRD, except for where you have applied Notes or Support Packs in DEV and not yet in the downstream systems. You should not make the changes in QAS. You were right the first time, reset the 'grey' Notes in SPAU in DEV and add those resets (along with all your other SPAU changes) to a transport request per the normal SPAU process, then let that transport request be imported automatically as part of your support pack queue in both QAS and PRD. You need to do it this way in QAS to ensure that the import actually works correctly. If you "do the changes" in QAS to import into PRD, then you haven't actually tested that PRD queue import anywhere. This, also, is how DEV systems get badly out of sync.
The only reason to run SPAU again in QAS is to a) ensure that your transport took care of everything, or b) fix things that are out of sync with DEV because you've been doing it incorrectly in the past.

Action with script not working today!

HELP! I have an action with a script in it that I use daily. Today I get an error message that says
Error 8800: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. -<no additional information available> Line:18 -> AD.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
What do I do next?? As far as I know nothing has changed on the computer since yesterday morning when it was fine.
Photoshop CS4 on an Imac.
Okay, I figured out how to attach a screen shot.

This error is generated by the script because it can not save the document for some reason. Without seeing the script it is hard to give you an answer.
It could be that the document you were working on had not been saved previously, so there was no path.

How to clear grey loading screen and animated gif (Dynamic Action with "Show Processing" on submit)

APEX V4.2.3
DB 11.2
I have a classic report on page 1. I have a region button called "Export" (defined by a submit dynamic action with "show processing=Yes") that submits the page and then via a branch directs me to page 2 which has a slightly different version of the report on page 1 (i.e. no breaks) which I want to capture as a CSV export. Therefore I've set the report template on page 2 to " Export:CSV".
Now when I click on the page 1 export button the grey screen and loading gif appears indicating that the report is executing and then as expected, page 2 doesn't appear but instead the standard open/save window's dialog box appears asking to open or save the generated CSV file. All good..but the grey loading screen remains. How do I clear this loading screen and get back to the context of page 1 ?
thanks in advance
PaulP

Hi PPlatt,
We would love to help but you left out one crucial part of the puzzle: namely how does your CSV report get exported. With the way it is setup (a redirect to another page), I'm going to assume you do that because you have some PL/SQL on that page that prints the CSV.
Now there are two questions that are crucial here:
- How do we stop the icon from bugging us on the screen
- How do we communicate with the browser that it should no longer display the loading icon
The first question is rather easy, two simply lines of codes can do that:
$('#apex_wait_popup').hide();
$('#apex_wait_overlay').hide();
But when do we use this code? Quite simple when the document is downloaded. When is it downloaded? At the end of the PL/SQL code that prints the document to the browser.
What you could do is at the end of that code give an application item a certain value. For example :AI_PRINTED := 'Y';
Then all you need to do is let the browser ask for the value. You could do this by using JavaScript to continuously fire AJAX to the server using a JS timing event:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp
Better would be a Server send event, but since you left out another crucial piece of information: your browser, I will not go deeper into this.
Start this timing event when someone asks for the document, and end it as soon as the process returns that :AI_PRINTED equals 'Y'.
Despite the lack of information, I hope I have given, or at least inspired you to get to the solution.
Regards,
Joni

Dymanic action with jQuery selector not working in version 4.2.2

Hi,
We’re in the process upgrading to APEX version 4.2.2. We have an issue is with a report with a link that’s firing a dynamic action with a jQuery selector.
The first sequence in the dynamic action is Confirm. When we click the link in the report it’s supposed to popup a confirm “Are you sure you want to save?"
When we click the link nothing happens. This works in our current version 4.0.1, but not in 4.2.2. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

change the
in the url to
javascript:void(0);
The reason for your issue is that the default action of the anchor tag is not prevented and thus navigation occurs. A confirm action will return true or false, and execution of further true actions will stop when selecting cancel but this will still not prevent the default action from occuring. Similarly a cancel event true action is not adequete as this has to be run after the confirm so not accounting for the execution-stopping cancel of the confirm.
That javascript in the url is some good ol' "hack". It'll run that javascript instead of performing a navigation and void(0) just does nothing, and the click dynamic action will be unaffected.

Spau Adjustment with Note Corrections

Hi All,
I am working with SPAU for the forst time, I ran SPAU and under the Note Corrections I found one note with a status of "Yellow color traingle ". When I clicked on this it asked me if I want to change the user on this note and I clicked it yes.... and after that it implemented the note and it went away from the note corrections list under SPAU. So my concern is if this is the right way of doing it or do I need to do something else.
Also I looked for all the notes in SPAU with Yellow lightes and then I looked out for these in SNOTE and found that few of them have the status "can be implemented", some have "incompletely implemented". So i am just wondering what do I need to do in such case.
Thanks,
Raj
Edited by: rajatg on Aug 28, 2009 5:51 PM

@rajatg
Yellow status means "SAP says the note is applicable for your system, but I cannot apply everything automatically. There are something you need to apply manually"
SAP Help says
"The system might display note corrections with a yellow traffic light symbol during modification adjustment (transaction SPAU). The correction implemented previously based on a note was overwritten by a Support Package that does not contain these corrections. Note implementation is restarted if you click the yellow traffic light. "
So basically yellow means the note is okay for your system but something is wrong with corrections/modifications. I recommend you look the note in OSS and corrections and compare each correction object after applying the note in SPAU. So you might find somethings should be done manually.
Eventhough yellow notes can be applicable, you can look the note in OSS, then decide not to apply it based on SAP version, support package. So you can choose "Reset to Original" option from toolbar or right click.
One more thing is important to remember when the notes are applied in SPAU, you have a SAP Net (OSS) connections from your system, so SPAU can check the latest version of the note.

Problems with actions "...not available

Hi Guys,
I recently purchased some actions and strangely sometimes when using the action I get error messages like "Layer Backgrund Color is not currently available" or "Warning: No Pixels were selected" etc. Those errors do not always occur in the same way but definatly I don't get the designated result once the action is finished. Strangely those actions should work in PSD CC, as far as author says and other buyers commented.
I checked for Panel Options "Use Default Mask on Fill Layers" and Adjustments -> Add mask by default as those possibilities were suggested on other websites as a problemsolver. Nothing changed so far.
Am I missing something? This "... is not available" shows up on several complex actions with many layers (20+).
Maybe you guys not what causes this problem and how to solve it.
Many thanks!
Michael

Hi Depeshn,
I have written following code in INIT method of View
I think you have writen code containg subscribe_to_button_event method in the INIT method of the pop up view. But actually you should write that code where you are generating the pop up window. i.e in the ONACTION method of the button (which when clicked generates the pop up window.)
It should be something like this:
" This whole code should come in the event handler of the button.
wd_comp_controller->go_window = lo_window_manager->create_window(
window_name = 'ZW_CERTIFICATION_POP'
title = lv_pop_title
close_in_any_case = abap_false
message_display_mode = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
close_button = abap_true
button_kind = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
message_type = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
DATA lv_ok type string.
DATA lv_cancel type string.
DATA lo_popup TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
DATA lo_view TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
DATA lo_window_ctlr type ref to if_wd_window_controller.
* register button events
lo_view = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_ctlr = lo_view->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
wd_comp_controller->go_window = lo_window_ctlr->get_window( ).
lv_ok = cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias( alias = 'PAOC_RCF_UI/OK' ).
wd_comp_controller->go_window->subscribe_to_button_event(
button = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
button_text = lv_ok
action_name = 'OK'
action_view = lo_view
is_default_button = abap_true
lv_cancel = cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias( alias = 'PAOC_RCF_UI/CANCEL' ).
wd_comp_controller->go_window->subscribe_to_button_event(
button = if_wd_window=>co_button_cancel
button_text = lv_cancel
action_name = 'CANCEL'
action_view = lo_view
is_default_button = abap_true
I hope it helps.

Dynamic action with interactive report region refresh

Hi!
I'm using APEX 4.02
I've got a page with 2 regions.
Region1 is a (input) form
Region2 is an interactive report on the same table as region 1
When entering values on the form I'm trying to dynmically lookup similar records in the table with the interactive report.
I've made a dynamic action on the change of the form fields which should refresh the interactive report region. I can see this one fires if I add a alert to debug if it fires.
The dynamic report is based on a query with bind variables pointing to the form fields, for example
where
field1 = :P2_FIELD1
This works great on the page load, so no dynamic action is fired but I can see the rows in the report region are the ones I am looking for.
But the refresh of the report region is not working, it is never refreshing and/or showing the correct data after a change of the form fields, so it looks like the dynamic action "refresh region" is not working on the interactive report.
Any ideas why this can go wrong ?
I would like to solve this using standard dynamic actions and preferrably not via PL/SQL or JS, shoudl be possible if I should believe the documentation... ;)
Cheers
Bas

Hi,
When you change value to item, I assume you do not set value to session state.
Use interactive report advanced attributes "Page Items to Submit" , set items session state before report is refreshed.

Automator action with dropdown to make folders with predetermined names

Is there an action/workflow that will allow me to create Folders using a dropdown menu of predetermined names for those folders?

I haven't seen one, and since no one has posted about one yet, I'll throw this out.
I modified a couple of handlers I have laying around into a Run AppleScript action that will make folders from a list of names. The list can be set in a Get Specified Text action, with the "menu" being a Choose from List action:
Tested workflow:
1) Get Specified Text (your folder names, separated by returns) for example:
Testing
Another test
My Spiffy New Folder
2) Filter Paragraphs (Return paragraphs that are not empty)
3) Choose from List (Prompt: Please choose folder names:)
4) Run AppleScript:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
make folders with names from a list
input: a list of names (text items)
output: a list of Finder items (aliases) created
set output to {}
set DestinationFolder to missing value -- set the destination path here if desired
try -- verify that the path is valid
set DestinationFolder to DestinationFolder as alias
on error
set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the location to make the selected folders:")
end try
repeat with AnItem in the input
GetUniqueName for AnItem from DestinationFolder -- avoid duplicates
try
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:the result}
set the end of the output to the result as alias
end try
end repeat
return output
end run
to GetUniqueName for SomeName from SomeFolder
check if SomeName exists in SomeFolder, creating a new unique name if needed
parameters - SomeName [text]: a name.extension to check for
SomeFolder [mixed]: a folder to check
returns [text]: a unique name
set {Counter, Divider} to {"00", "_"}
set Here to -(offset of "." in ((reverse of text items of SomeName) as text)) - 1
set TheName to text 1 thru Here of SomeName
if Here is -1 then -- no extension
set TheExtension to ""
else
set TheExtension to text (Here + 1) thru -1 of SomeName
end if
set NewName to TheName & TheExtension
tell application "System Events" to tell (get name of items of folder (SomeFolder as text))
repeat while it contains NewName
set Counter to text 2 thru -1 of ((100 + Counter + 1) as text) -- leading zero
set NewName to TheName & Divider & Counter & TheExtension
end repeat
end tell
return NewName
end GetUniqueName</pre>
- the output from the Run AppleScript action is a list of aliases to the folders created, if you want that information to do something with.

Dynamic action with set value on date field

Hi,
I'm using APEX 4.02
I'm trying to calculate the age based on the date of birth dynamically on a form. I'm trying to do this with a (advanced)dynamic action with set value.
I'm able to get this kind of action working based on a number field etc, but NEVER on a date field.
I've read all posts on this subject but so far no solution. Even if I try to simply copy the value over to another date field or typecast it to a string ( to_char function ) it does not work. So for me the problem seems to be in the source field being a date field.
I've tried using the source value as is in a select statement :
select :P33_GEBOORTEDATUM from dual;
and also type casted based on the date format :
select TO_DATE(:P33_GEBOORTEDATUM,'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual
but still no luck.
On the same form I don't have any issues as long as the calculation is based on number fields, but as soon as I start using dates all goes wrong.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you need any extra info just let me know.
Cheers
Bas
b.t.w My application default date format is DD-MON-YYYY, maybe this has something to do with the issue .... ?
Edited by: user3338841 on 3-apr-2011 7:33

Hi,
Create a dynamic action named "set age" with following values.
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE
Set Type: PL/SQL Expression
PL/SQL Expression: ROUND( (SYSDATE - :P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH)/365.24,0)
Page items to submit: P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_AGE

Hiring action with reference Pernr via HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA

Ciao,
I need some help to solve the following problem:
I get all needed data for an hiring action via external interface and need to perform the hiring action with HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA by passing a reference personel number to the function.
my problem: theres no chance to pass the parameter RFPNR to HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA and so the function does not link the new PERNR to the CP of the RFPNR
therefore, the function creates a new employee with a new central person (CP) instead of linking the new employee to the central person of the passed RFPNR and copying the relevant infotypes
my question: does somebody know how to make HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA work with the reference Pernr (RFPNR) ?!
alternatively I could delete the link between the new employee and it's (new) central person, insert a new link between the central person of the referenced employee and the new employee and delete the crfeated central person of the new employee.
as result I would have correct links to the CP BUT I'm facing the problem, that the infotypedata of the CP was not taken over to the new linked employee ...
is there any function or report, that copys relevant data (infotypes) from a central person to it's linked employees (PERNRs) ?!
would be nice if anyboday could help me or give me a small hint
thanks,
Markus

I found the solution by myself ....
Problem: hr_maintain_masterdata crashes with shortdump while writing an hiring action.
Cause: we implemented infotype enhancements via userexit where parameter VIEKN is queried. The parameter VIEKN is saved in infotype 3. In LUW-mode 3 theres no existent IT0003 when hiring a person (because nothing is written to database) that causes the shortdump ...
solution (workaround): First I have to call maintain_masterdate just with infotype 0000 (without reference pernr!) ... that triggers the creation of it0003 by the system itself ... then I have to call a second maintain_masterdata with all the other infotypes of the action and everything works fine! Now the new person is in the system and while creating the person, the system also created a new central person and a link between the new CP and the new person.
after doing this (and did'nt get any failure!) I have to determine the central person (CP) of the referenced person, making a new link between the new person and the referenced persons CP, deleting the link between the new person an d the new CP, deleting the new cp and every thing works fine!!!! the reason for this is: infotype 31 just shows the "links" that are defined in OM
if anybody is interested in more details, just contact me
