Using SharePlus application in the Enterprise

Using a SharePoint deployment for content and collaboration, we needed a way to intuitively interact with this environment on the iPad. Using an application called SharePlus we were able to do this. We had issues with using client certificates on the iOS 4.1 version, which was fixed in 4.2, and had excellant luck with the support channels of the SharePlus application.
Highly recommend this application and configuration if you have similiar needs.

My solution was as follows:
1. In SCCM 2012, I created an application for flash player based on the MSI deployment.
2. Created a second deployment type that executes a .CMD file with the following batch code in it (set dependency pointing to the Flash MSI completing successfully as well):
REM In case folders don't exist, create them
MD %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
MD %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
REM Delete existing completion files
Del %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash\Complete.flag
Del %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash\Complete.flag
REM Copy System32 CFG file and then copy the complete flag
Copy /y %~dp0mms.cfg %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
Copy /y %~dp0Complete.flag %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
REM Copy SysWow64 CFG file and then copy the complete flag
Copy /y %~dp0mms.cfg %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
Copy /y %~dp0Complete.flag %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
Note: Completion.flag is merely a text file that gives me an easy way to know if the script finished running or not. I check for it's existence in both locations to consider the process complete.
This has worked for me. The only hangup I had was that I set the MSI verification on the filename of the OCX that the installer puts in the System32 and SysWow64 folders not realizing that the filename is backwards from what I expected. System32 has the "Flash64..." file and SysWow64 has the "Flash32..." file. Goofy, I know.
Hope this helps.

Windows Applications in the Enterprise Portal

Hi all,
we have EP 6.0 SP10 based on NW04 installed.
Is there any possibility to integrate Windows Apllications
(Windows 'exe' files) in the Enterprise Portal.
Best regards

With LaunchInIE you use JavaScript to launch the actual applications. What we do is write a Java iView that contains links (we use icons) to programs installed locally on each machine. When the user clicks a link (icon) we run the JavaScript that opens the locally installed 'exe' file.
If you have a look at the WhirlyWiryWeb link posted earlier you can see how to use LaunchInIE.
The downside to this is that the .dll has to be installed on each machine and the registry (for each machine) has to be maintained.
You can just write a java iView that has links to locally installed exe's (file://C:/myfolder/myexe.exe) if you like but that will result in a security warning each time. LaunchInIE stops the security warning.

The app Spaces keeps me from using two applications at the same time.

I set up Spaces but now experience a bad side-effect. When I need to have Two files/folders/whatever in use because I want to place something from X into Y, I cannot do it because Spaces only lets One application on the desktop at the time; it shoos all the other applications away, and in doing so, it takes away the thing that I wanted to place into the new application that swooshed onto my desktop when I pressed its corresponding square in the Spaces icon in the top control panel.
How can I arrange it so that I can keep Two or three applications available for me to do transfers from one to another?
~ Lorna in Southern California

Ferrell, I have done what you suggested. I clicked onto the Spaces icon in the upper control panel and assigned spaces to six apps: Mail, Safari, iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, and iWeb.
The problem is that if I am one app and I want to put something into that app, then the minute my mouse cursor goes to get that other thing, the original application into which I want the thing put GETS WHOOSHED OFF THE DESKTOP. What I want is for the original app to remain open whilst I go to retrieve a file or folder, and stay open while I put that thing into the original app.
How does one turn off Spaces? I don't mean to delete all the names from the settings.I mean, just turn it off for a while so I can do something which requires for two apps to be open at the same time????

TS1702 I can't update or use currents applications. The updating process seems to be stopped...

The updating process seems be stopped, and I cant use many applications because they need to be updated but the process is never complited.

Try this first and see if the update process will start again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, here are other things to try.
1. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem
2. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
3. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
4. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Using mms.cfg In The Enterprise

Hello, I’m currently investigating the best ways to install Flash Player in our corporate environment I’ve competed the request for enterprise downloads and I now have the access to the EXE & MSI installs.
Briefly reading the Administration guide I now know that I can use mms.cfg to disable updates a requirement in our network due to the lack of admin rights.
We will manage updates and fresh installs with SCCM 2012
I want to be able to install Flash Player during OSD (Operating System Deployment) and also on existing machines what are the best proven methods of delivering the custom mms.cfg ?
Can this be done with the command line if I use the EXE Bootstrapper install and not the MSI?
Or do I have to look at using group policy or a script to deliver this file outside of the installation
For Adobe reader I’m currently using the bootstrapper to install reader 11 and the latest MSP at the same time I’d like to do something similar for my Flash Player installs

My solution was as follows:
1. In SCCM 2012, I created an application for flash player based on the MSI deployment.
2. Created a second deployment type that executes a .CMD file with the following batch code in it (set dependency pointing to the Flash MSI completing successfully as well):

REM Delete existing completion files

Del %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash\Complete.flag
REM Copy System32 CFG file and then copy the complete flag
Copy /y %~dp0mms.cfg %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
Copy /y %~dp0Complete.flag %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
REM Copy SysWow64 CFG file and then copy the complete flag
Copy /y %~dp0mms.cfg %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
Copy /y %~dp0Complete.flag %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash

Best software to use Microsoft applications on the iMac?

Hi!
I'm considering buying an iMac - what in your opinion is the best software to buy, to enable full use of typical software applications from Microsoft, i.e. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.?
Any suggestion, recommendations, etc. would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Garry

The Microsoft Office Suite is also available for the Mac.
If you don't want to pay for that try Open Office:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/

I can't used my applications on the Imac it shows a screen telling me that the app is not valid for it, but im sure it is because i had it for a long time in my macbook

i can used any app, but im specially concerned about one i use the most. It shows a screen telling me that the app is not valid but im pretty sure it is

Older apps which were not written for Intel Macs will no longer work in 10.8 and newer versions of OS X.

Matt,
Actually it's 10.7 and newer versions of OS X.

IPad2 Uses in the Enterprise

What are some of the best uses of ipad2 in the enterprise beyond email?

"Best" is situational, but here are some things I use my iPad for in my company:
- Note taking
- Presentations
- Task management
- Research on the web (especially to look up points or data during meetings)
- Keeping my calendar
There will be many more uses depending on the company or organization involved. For instance, many medical organizations are using iPads to replace the traditional patient chart and hand-written doctors' notes. This may provide some additional ideas:

BW Workbook as an iView in the Enterprise Portal

I keeping getting a dialog box asking to select the appropriate program to open the workbook. When I select .xls it opens, and it shows the parameters I entered and not the workbook. The customer is on NW04 Stack 11.
I followed ever step on help.sap.com site as listed below.
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded BW queries. You are able to display these workbooks in the Enterprise Portal as iViews.
Features
Workbooks are displayed in a separate MS Excel window. Opening workbooks within the Web browser window is not possible for technical reasons.
BW workbooks require the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW front end.
SAP recommends that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the BW Web application context menu as an alternative to using a local installation of the BW front end if you require Excel functions. See Context Menu Functions and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
An iView with a workbook can be generated using the Portal Content Studio or Role Upload. For more information, see Generating Content from SAP BW for the Enterprise Portal.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
·The System property contains the alias on the BW system (see Creating BW Systems in the Portal).
·The transaction code for every workbook is RRMXP.
·The value WBID= is in the ApplicationParameter property.
You can determine the workbook ID with the BEx Analyzer:
a. Open the desired workbook.
b. In the BEx toolbar, choose ® OLAP Functions for Active Cells ® Properties. The Information tab page contains the Workbook ID (Server).
Note that with BW workbooks as an iView, the AutoStart property contains the value True (process first screen) and the GuiType property contains the value WinGui.
Anyone have a solution for this to work?
Thanks,
-Eli

Dear Rasmesh,
Please try to do this suggestion:
3. How can I use SAP Application Integrator to access SAP transactions?
There are two different ways to use the SAP Application Integrator transaction iView. In both cases please use a URL like 'irj://com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction' followed by your custom parameters like '?System=DEV&TCode=SE38&GuiType=WinGui &WinGui_Type=Shortcut&OkCode=SHOP'.
The parameters are:
System [mandatory]
TCode [mandatory]
GuiType (=WinGui / WebGui / JavaGui) [mandatory]
WinGui_Type (=Shortcut ..if you want to launch the GUI in a new window)
OkCode (The OkCode that you would like to be executed after the transcation is called by SAP GUI.)
ApplicationParameter (Pass these values to your screen fields which needs to be be separated by
AutoStart (true / false)
UseSPO1 (true / false)
For a complete list of parameters please consult http://help.sap.com.

Portal Component receives GET from other app out of the Enterprise Portal?

Hello.
I want to design a portal component, to which i can send GET-Parameters via URL.
The sending application runs out of the enterprise Portal and has a simple HTML-form (The portal component generates HTML and JAVA-Script for a Flex Application in the Enterprise Portal which should point to a specific document named in the params. The params will be written into the generated HTML document after calling).
Is this possible without authetification and how would the URL looks like, which is used to call the enterprise portal?
Pls help me.
With best regards

Hi Björn,
you can access request parameters with the following code in the standard methods of your Portal Component:
          // IPortalComponentRequest request;
          request.getServletRequest().getParameter("ParamName");
The direct URL of your Portal Component without a specific iView is:
http://
If your component should be directly accessable without authentication you must add the following property in your portalapp.xml in the the component-profile section:
      <component-profile>
        <property name="AuthScheme" value="anonymous"></property>
      </component-profile>

I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications

I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications.
The applications appear in the screen, but when I tap on any one of them, they do not open.
Can some one tell me what to do to be able to use my application again?

Sorry, I'm reposting this because of spelling error in my previous post (I must turn that 'auto-correct' off).
Since I posted my questions, the only thing I figured out was to turn the 'iCloud' in the Settings on and now the plus sign is on and all my previous appointments appeared. While this is a solution, what if I don't want to use iCloud? But I'm happy for now that my Calendar works.

Did you:
a). Ensure you're using the correct version of WLS (it appears to me you're using a standalone WLS)? - correct version is 10.3.3
b). Install the application development runtime 11.1.1.3?
c). Extend the domain with the JRF?

Apex use in the enterprise?

Any Apex experts care to respond to the list of advantages / disadvantages that we have come up with - while doing due diligence for potential rollout of Apex as a development platform for the enterprise?
Many thanks in advance.
Please note that we know little to nothing about Apex. But we do know the database. I have read other threads in this forum where it is mentioned that all database utilites (dbms_*) are available to be used in apex - and this is a major plus point - agreed. Do know that metalink is apex based.
Would love to have oracle apex developers respond.
Oracle Application Express Architecture - Due Diligence
Advantages
(1)     RAD development for data centric Web applications.
(2)     Out of box support for some HTML page templates. For example, sort, search, save data to CSV, ...
(3)     Reduce required skill sets for PL/SQL developers on web application development.
(4)     Performance boost on a small scale non-enterprise Web applications.
(5)     Single vendor within integrated Oracle administration environment.
(6)     Out of box charting and reporting supports.
Disadvantages
(1)     Application operates within Oracle instance which imposes considerable resource overheads due to HTTP session tracking and JVM environment.
(2)     APEX supports through discussion forum not a formal support channel.
(3)     This two tier non-SOA data centric configuration requires high end machines to power up Oracle instances for mission critical applications. N-tier SOA architecture can easily scale up and scale out by using economic efficient hardware.
(4)     A non-traditional security configuration requires either database accounts or APEX accounts.
(5)     It requires very specific skill sets if future application enhancements does not fall into out of box APEX templates.
(6)     Single Sign On (SSO) requires add-on SDK which makes it quite difficult and sometimes impossible to integrate with other applications.
(7)     It operates under Oracle HTTP server with J2EE environment. This requires a different technology expertise for performance tuning.
(8)     APEX application is vendor specific and offers no portability at all.
Summary
(1)     APEX is targeted to replace MS Access like applications to provide better security, scalability and stability.
(2)     APEX is well suited for web RAD development by DBAs.
(3)     APEX is suited for data centric application such as maintain some database records….
(4)     APEX is not suited for provisioning services.
(5)     APEX is not suited for high volume transaction Web applications.
(6)     APEX is not suited for any applications required LDAP typed security or SSO.
(7)     APEX does not provide any portability outside of Oracle.

I think you need to review some of these comments..

(2)     APEX supports through discussion forum not a
formal support channel.APEX DOES get support from the standard Oracle tech support. However, I would think it is faster to post a message HERE and get a response from the actual developers of the product than having to go through channels..
(3)     This two tier non-SOA data centric configuration
requires high end machines to power up Oracle
instances for mission critical applications. N-tier
SOA architecture can easily scale up and scale out by
using economic efficient hardware.However hearty a db server you have now should suffice for using APEX. YOu are in reality running SQL statements against the database.
(4)     A non-traditional security configuration requires
either database accounts or APEX accounts.NOT TRUE. Please review documents again.. YOu can BUILD internal security in application, or rely on LDAP or Single Sign on from Oracle..
(5)     It requires very specific skill sets if future
application enhancements does not fall into out of
box APEX templates.HTML and CSS development skills. If you develop web sites, you should be comfortable with this..
(6)     Single Sign On (SSO) requires add-on SDK which
makes it quite difficult and sometimes impossible to
integrate with other applications.Wrong here again. Please refer to documentation.
(7)     It operates under Oracle HTTP server with J2EE
environment. This requires a different technology
expertise for performance tuning.Sorry, what again?
(8)     APEX application is vendor specific and offers no
portability at all.Unlike ASP or ASP.NET from M$? Or what vendor independent products are you thinking of? Pearl? Ruby on Rails? APEX RUNS in the database, so you'd think it just MIGHT be specific to an Oracle database and Oracle product..
