Using a request template in Answers

I am new to OBIEE, and am just getting into messing with Answers. What I'm looking at trying to do, if it is even possible, is having some sort of template that all of our users can use as a starting point when creating a request. I would like to have a standard header and footer in this template. I would store it in a shared folder, and when a user is going to create a request, they would simply open this template & use it to build their request, and then save it over to their 'My Folder'.
I guess I'm having a bit of a problem with this because I cannot just create a 'blank' request -- one that doesn't pull back any real data. If I can just create a request that doesn't pull back any real data, and then save it, I think I could pull this off.
Any ideas?
Chris

Chris,
There's not such functionality yet in Answers. i know, because I've met exactly the same issue. I filed SR with Oracle and received a negative answer. However, there's a workaround that we're using.
Development team created several reports that serve as templates for various subject areas. They usually have most common time, org, and some common filters pre-applied. This seems to be the easiest thing to do at this point. Just make a clear structure of the folders - reports, put them in the Shared folder. This seems to work fine with us.
If you find this answer helpful, please mark it so. Thanks

    If you are not using Template level approval you must associate approval policy( for Request level and operational level). I suggest, you change it to Template level .
    To verify this follow below link

  • How to assign approvaal policy for a request template in OIM 11g

    When I request for resource in OIM 11g, It's always going for Default approval of xelsysadm.
    I want this Request level approval must go to "Beneficiary Manager approval". While requesting I am selecting request template (which I created) for Provision resource as Request type.I have already set "Beneficiary Manager approval" as request level approval for this request template.
    I have created one approval policy, How can I assign this approval Policy to request template so that When i submit this request , it should go to my Manager approval.
    Regards,
    J

    Hi Rajiv,
    I do not need approval of Operational level. I want to stop the approval process after request level approval.
    Here you are saying to create a new approval policy and set as AUTO Approval as true. There are some default approval policies which comes with OIM 11g and one of the approval policy is trigeering the Operaional level approval. So I think I do not need to create new approval policy and I can use exsting approval policy and modify as you suggested selecting AUTO APPROVAL and create approval rule as request template=="XYZ".
    I am not sure which default approval policy trigeering the Operational approval now. Can you pls tell me that?
    Can you pls confirm that, there is only way to restrict Opertional Approval by selecting "AUTO APPROVAL" true and put the approval rule as request template=="XYZ"
    Thanks Rajiv for your help all the time.

  • Service Account Management through Request Templates

    Hi,
    I am trying to implement Service Account lifecycle use cases (Create, Modify, Delete) on 2 resources(AD User, iPlanet User) through Request templates. In this case OOTB tasks - Service Account Alert, Service Account Changed, Service Account Moved with resource specific Process definitions are not get triggered as I am initiating process through Request Templates.
    I want to trigger post process EventHandler upon triggering any of these events. so, I created metadata xml file as the following and imported it into MDS.
    -----------------EventHandler Metadata file------------------------
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <eventhandlers>
    <action-handler class="com.wipro.sdf.iam.oim.plugin.ServiceAccountCreationEventHandler" entity-type="Resource" operation="PROVISION" name="ServiceAccountCreateEventHandler" stage="postprocess" order="1021" sync="TRUE"/>
    </eventhandlers>
    ----------------------------XXX----------------------------------------------
    When I trigger create event of SA on any of the resources, the EventHandler is being invoked and from execute() method, Orchestration is giving the following data
    {UD_IPNT_USR_LAST_NAME=TestTwo, BENEFICIARYKEY=798, UD_IPNT_USR_COMMON_NAME=SA Test Two, *ResourceKey*=12, serviceaccount=true, UD_IPNT_USR_SA_ADMIN=USER16TE, UD_IPNT_USR_USERID=SATEST2, UD_IPNT_USR_FIRST_NAME=SAccount}
    My EventHandler has to do some actions on target resource(AD / iPlanet),so I would like to get resource connection details like IP, port , admin login details etc.
    To fetch those details, I am using ResourceKey that is coming from Orchestration.
    When I use the following code to find Resource details based on Key, its throwing resource not found exception.
    -----------------------Code from execute() of EventHandler----------------------
    String resKey = getParamaterValue(parameters, "ResourceKey");
    tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf resInsObj = Platform.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
    //Get Resource Details based on Resource Key
    HashMap searchMap= new HashMap();
    searchMap.put(Constants.IT_RESOURCE_KEY, resKey);
    logger.debug(methodName+" - IT Resouece Search Map is : "+searchMap);
    tcResultSet resultSet = resInsObj.findITResourceInstances(searchMap);
    -------------------------------End of code ------------------------------------------------
    I tried finding for the table which stores all IT Resource connection details. But no luck.
    Now my questions are:
    1. Which table stores all IT Resource Information that can be seen from Design Console -> Resource Management -> IT Resource Type Definition - > Resource?
    2. Which table stores Resource Key and Name details?
    3. When we do query for records from any form in Design Console, where exactly would logs get recorded? (as it queries DB to fetch information there should some file like DB Tracer Log etc)
    Could somebody please answer these questions and give some hint to implement SA management through Req Templates?
    Thank you in advance,
    Mounika

    Hi kevin,
    thanks for reply.
    i am thinking that, Even though OIM11G is developed in ADF,some parts of the code is in struts only,like xlWebApp.war .
    i have seen source code of xlWebApp.war folder that is there in OIM11g.
    it seems to be developed in struts only.
    is there any ADF interaction in that?
    i have written helloworld program in struts,that is working fine.
    i have done that,for ADUser resource popup i added button "serviceaccount for this resource".when i click that one jsp page will come.
    so i am thinking that,some other reason is there for not working.
    can u please tell me the reason?

  • How to use a PDF template with OA Framework

    I have a question that is hopefully quite simple. I am using JDeveloper to add a button to a page that will create a PDF document.
    According the the documentation it should be quite easy to merge a PDF template file with an XML data file to produce an output PDF file.
    The problem I have is that although I can create the XML data file OK - the output PDF file is not produced (the file gets created but it is 0 bytes - I don't get an error message though). Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    My code is as follows:
    try
    DataProcessor dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();
    dataProcessor.setDataTemplate("/oraapp02/apphrutv1/hrutv1comn/work_accident.xml");
    Hashtable parameterTable = new Hashtable();
    parameterTable.put("hendelse","3574");
    dataProcessor.setParameters(parameterTable);
    dataProcessor.setConnection(jdbcConnection);
    dataProcessor.setOutput("/oraapp02/apphrutv1/hrutv1comn/accidentout.xml");
    dataProcessor.processData();
    } catch (SQLException e)
    throw new OAException("Couldn't create xml file. SQL Error="+e.getMessage(),OAException.ERROR);
    } catch (XDOException e) {
    throw new OAException("XDOException" + e.getMessage(),OAException.ERROR);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    System.out.println("ClassNotFoundException " + e.getMessage());
    //OK - we created the XML file, now let's send it into the pdf template:
    FormProcessor fProcessor = new FormProcessor();
    fProcessor.setTemplate("/oraapp02/apphrutv1/hrutv1comn/NAV.pdf");
    fProcessor.setData("/oraapp02/apphrutv1/hrutv1comn/accidentout.xml");
    fProcessor.setOutput("/oraapp02/apphrutv1/hrutv1comn/NAVout.pdf");
    fProcessor.process();
    I haven't registered the PDF template file in Oracle Applications - but that shouldn't be the problem should it? Or is it better to use a PDF template that is registered in Oracle Applications?

    Can you give me some tips on setting up the appropriate libraries to use the DataProcessor class? I have tried the BIP libraries and the classes from JAVA_TOP but I always get the same error when the constructor of DataProcessor is called:
    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.apps.fnd.i18n.common.util.DateFormatMaskConverter.getJavaDateFormatFromOracle(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/util/Locale;Z)Ljava/lang/String;

         at oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.DataProcessor.<init>(DataProcessor.java:168)
    I have been successful in displaying a PDF file in an OAF page but I had to generate the xml data using a PL/SQL package rather than the data template. I know it works because Concurrent Requests using the XDODTEXE executable work and this uses DataProcessor.

  • How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

    I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
    Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
    Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
    Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
    This is what I did:
    <b> 1.- </b> Grant Privileges to execute [ <b> utl_http.request </b> ] to the owner of your schema.
    login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
    <b> 2.- </b> Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
    <b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
    If your output is:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
    <font color='blue'> Wow It worked </font>, this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
    3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
    4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
    The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
    Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
    <?
    echo '"<b> Hello World </b> ";
    ?>
    This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
    <b> 5.- </b> Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
    <b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
    Apply the changes and run the page !!!
    Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
    Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]
    Best Regards <b> Dino </b>.

    Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
    I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface. 
    It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
    Maybe someone else knows 
    As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
    The Output Message event number is 40 
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
    UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

  • Activity Templates inside Service Request Templates

    I have run into a problem and I was hoping there is an easy solution.
    I have built Activity Templates for Access Requests, one template per application.
    Then I have Service Requests for per Job Code, which include up to 20 of those Activity Templates.
    I did it this way specifically so if an Application Access process changed, I could just edit the Activity Template for that Application, and all the Service Requests that use that template would update as well.... or so you would think.
    I just had to change some, and my service request is still showing the old templates, not the esits I did. I waited over an hour. Is this a workflow problem, or a functionality problem? If the Service Request Template saves when created instead of pullign
    the activity templates each time its opened, it defeats my purpose of trying to do this modularly. This also makes absolutely no sense to me either, if that is in effect how it works.
    What that will mean is I will have to edit every service request that uses a specific activity, instead of just that activity template.

    Activity templates do not cascade. When you add an activity template to a Service Request, SCSM creates a copy of the activity template _inside_ the SR template. That's where they diverge.
    Any further changes to the original activity template will not be replicated to any SRs that contain that activity.
    I'm sorry to say that's the way SCSM's template management was implemented.

  • Unable to Create Service Request Template in CRM

    Hello,
    I need to create a service request template in crm web ui,
    Following are the steps followed.
    I have identified the transaction type as SRQT screen shot attached below
    However when I click on on the work center link groups of the service pro role, I am not able to find the same for the service request template
    As per the post below it says that you need to go navigation bar profile and add the SM-SUPPORT work center and the work center link group as SM-SRQT-CR
    How to customize service request templates
    The error appears when I try to add the logical link id,
    Because of the above error I am not able to create service request template in sap crm, please advice which logical link ID, I need to use so that the service request template can be created in the system.
    Kind Regards
    Atul

    Hi Atul,
    1. Screen shot 1 is correct
    2. Screen shot 2 - You are at end of all work centers in your custom role which you might have copied from standard or Z role. If you look in standard role SERVICEPRO, navigation bar profile SRV-PRO, work center - SRV-ORD, you will find service request template
    In Cases work Center in standard SERVICEPRO role you can create service request template.
    Try copying this to your custom role in your required work center. It should work.

  • How to add dynamically a role in a Request Template

    Hi all,
    We have created a job that reads roles from a custom table and creates them in IDM. We have also a request template of type Assign Roles that has all the allowed roles that can be assigned to a user. We have a requirement to add a role from the custom table in the IDM and also add it in allowed roles of the Request Template so that it will be available. Our problem is that we cannot find an API that we can call in order to add the roles in the request template. Does anyone know how we can do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kostas

    Did you look at RequestTemplateService? I believe you can use this to modify your template pragmatically. Thus the step would be to read the custom table, create role in IDM and the modify the template pragmatically to add the newly created role in the available role which can be requested.

    1. I didn't select "Template Level Approval Process" (Is it mandatory?)
    2. For User Type, in Attribute Restrictions have selected "Contractor" as LookUp Values and "XellerateUsers" as Organization
    3. Assigned "Request Administrators", "System Administrators" as roles.
    Where can i see this "Contractor Create User" link?
    Do i need configure anywhere?
    Thanks,
    Madhavi

    are you using xelsysadm user to raise request?
    one more thing. If you are not using Template level approval you must associate approval policy( for Request level and operational level). I suggest, you change it to Template level .

  • Service Request template with status resolved

    Hi all,
    There is a way to create a Service Request template with the status "resolved"? We would like to use this kind of template in a location when we don't care about  the issues, but we need to know their number. So we just have to open a new
    SR, apply that template and close it automatically. 
    Thank you,
    Eugen

    Hi,
    If no Activities related to your Service Request it will completed automatically, If actitivities related than you must create a workflow to complete the activities first, then your SR will be completed.

  • Create a custom Request Template

    Hello,
    i need to create a custom request template.
    Custom Template = Create user + disable user.
    The request should be creating a user and disabling them automatically.
    1. What is the correct way to realize this scenario?
    2. Do i need bpel processes for that?
    3. Where are the default request templates stored in oim? Is it possible to modify the 'create user' template and add the 'disable user' functionality?
    Many thanks in advance!

    1) Use these templates. Create and Disable User.

  • Request template tab customization

    In OIM11g R1 - Request Templates, we wanted to insert tab in-between.  For example, after select the template, we need to add new tab and display 'Terms & Conditions' and then the existing pages (Select Role, Additional Information & Justification) should appear.  Can anyone let us know how to achieve it.
    - Kalyan.

    There are some Oracle By Examples (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=9830:37:3789900036911568::NO:RIR:IR_PRODUCT,IR_PRODUCT_SUITE,IR_PRODUCT_COMPONENT,IR_RELEASE,IR_TYPE,IRC_ROWFILTER,IR_FUNCTIONAL_CATEGORY:,,OIM,OIM_11g,,,). However, with OIM it's always been learn while learning. It's a very large product, an even more with 11g. Most everyone will tell you the way to learn it is from usage and the headaches it causes. I would suggest you start with a simple connector and working to implement the request data set associated with it. Then try and tweak the dataset to be something different, and get a feel for modifications to the approval side of it, and build on it from there.
    Others who have used 11g might be able to provide some insight, you'll just have to wait for their responses.

  • Delete Role Request Template

    Hi,
    I want to be able to use the Delete role request template in code to create a request that deletes a role.
    So I supposed that you will have to give the role name or role key with the request.
    But when I check the DeleteRoleDataSet, it doesn't contain any attributes.
    Just :
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
    <xl-ddm-data version="2.0.1.0" user="XELSYSADM" database="jdbc:oracle:thin:@oristb1l.solaris.nbb:1551/ISTB1L.NBB" exported-date="1315573110831" description="bla"><RequestDataset repo-type="MDS" name="DeleteRoleDataSet" mds-path="/metadata/iam-features-requestactions/model-data" mds-file="DeleteRoleDataSet.xml"><completeXml><request-data-set xmlns="http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/request" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/request" name="DeleteRoleDataSet" entity="Role" operation="DELETE">
    <DataSetValidator name="DeleteRoleDataValidator" classname="oracle.iam.requestactions.plugins.datavalidator.DeleteRoleDataValidator"/>

    </request-data-set></completeXml></RequestDataset></xl-ddm-data>
    How can I use this then ?
    How does it now which Role to delete ?
    Thx for your help

    WHat do you mean by "Delete Role Request Template" ?
    I can't see any Request Type with name "Delete Role" under Request Template.
