A customized LOV. Is this possible ?

Folks,
How can I present a user with a list of partials matches after he has executed a query from a form?
For example, the user enters "query mode" on a form then types a partial last name, "Gonzal", then presses Enter. Now I want to give me a list of partial matches for him to choose from.
How can I do this ? Perhaps a customized LOV ?
Please help!

Thanks for that response.
Another question re: LOV's:
When I display my LOV, I only want to show two or three fields, but yet I want to fully populate the form with many more fields.
Right now, it seems to be populating my form with only those few fields I specified in the LOV wizard.
Is this were record group comes in ?
Thanks,
Bob

Dashboard - defaulting to a custom Dashboard - is this possible?

Hi Everyone,
I have created a custom sales dashboard and I would like to set it as the first dashboard that our Sales Reps see when they click on the tab. Is this possible? because I can't seem to find any info on this.
I started playing around with Custom Web tabs, and I can add the URL from the Sales Dashboard - but I get a picture in a picture problem where there are two sets of the action bar and tabs at the top
Has anyone had similar challenges? How have you gotten around this?
Thanks, Margo

Hi Margo,
We're actually looking for the same feature, but no luck yet.
Prior to the custom dashboards in R15, we used Custom Web Tabs. We still keep the "top 3 dashboards" as Custom Web Tabs as they are more convenient to run. With the Custom Web Tab dashboards, we've linked each up to a Narrative report. Narrative reports use HTML code to combine several different reports into one report.
I've never tried to link the URL from a custom dashboard to a web tab, maybe you can give Narrative reports a try.
Cheers,
Karen

CSS custom script - is this possible?

Hi, I'm trying to determine if it's posible to write a script that will retrieve an html page, return some user credentials (login) to the server, and upon successful authentication, download a small text file. The service will be declared active if these three steps are successful
I have seen that it's not recommended to use disk I/O operations in scripts, which is something I will take into consideration, but is the scripting language capapble of performing these three functions within one script?
Many Thanks in advance

With NTLM this is not possible.
Because the server sends some kind of challenge that is different each time.
The response of the client will depend on the challenge and again it will also be different.
So, you first would need to know the NTLM protocol which is Microsoft proprietary so it's hard to find info, and implementing this in a script will be even harder.
So, the answer is no way.

I want to order files (e.g., photos) in a particular order (not necessarily an order that is an option in MacOS. Ie, my own custom order, and I want them STAY in that order until I change the order. Is this possible?

I want to order files (e.g., photos) in a particular order (not necessarily an order that is an option in MacOS. Ie, my own custom order, and I want them STAY in that order until I change the order. Is this possible?

Custom sort order is not a typical option in the list view of any desktop computing systems I know of. The way you're seeing it work is also how it works in Windows and other systems.
There is no "None" sort order. What you're seeing is a "None" option under "Arrange By." Arranging is not the same as sorting; arranging is how the files are grouped in the window. For example, you can arrange (group) files by Kind while sorting by Name. You'll notice that if you are in List view and you choose Arrange By "None," in the window there is still a sort triangle next to the column name that it's sorting by.
If Arrange is set to None, the files appear in one big group (the traditional view) that is controlled by the Sort order (where there is no None option).
I didn't even know the difference between Sort and Arrange until I saw your question and did a little research! This Macworld article helped:
How to arrange and sort files in Lion Finder (also applies to later OSs like Mavericks)
As for your main question, how to do a custom sort order in the Finder, you can only rearrange files manually in Icon view. As with other operating systems, if you want to create a custom sort order for photos there are other ways:
Use a photo organizer application like iPhoto or Lightroom. Some let you have custom sort orders in folders, but others only let you have a custom sort inside a different container like an "album" or "collection". Having those additional container types is part of why photos are often best managed in an organizer application and not on the desktop.
Rename the files. You can use a renaming utility program to rename the photos with numbers that will enforce your sort order when sorted by name on the desktop, like
01 Photo.jpg
01 Photo.jpg
01 Photo.jpg
or
Photo 01.jpg
Photo 02.jpg
Photo 03.jpg

Creating custom LOV in 11.5.10.2

Hi,
We are new to Web ADI and are having problems with creating custom LOV. It seems that custom templates can only have poplists defined. Is this true? And if so, how do we get around the problem of the 256 row limitation? Has anyone created lovs for custom templates for 11.5.10.2?
Thanks

As of now am tracing them blindly with oradebug... but guide me to find solution for normal trace.Bhanu,
The only supported way to enable trace concurrent requests from the application is what you already know. So, I believe there is no other way to enable trace. Since the issue with custom concurrent requests only, then I believe it is something with the reports/module registration.
I am not sure why there are no values stored in FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS table (for some columns) when you submit such reports, and I believe if this is resolved you will be able to see the trace files generated. So, is it possible to register any of these custom reports in one of the standard responsibilities and see if the values in the table are populated and/or the trace file get generated then?

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
Please Help . . .

I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

Is this possible to access arbitrary frame and to modify the mask?..

Sorry for a bit messy discussion title. Please, let me explain.
I have some experience in implementing video processing algorithms, but as our own software and never under AE. Now there is an idea to implement something for AE and first of all, I'm curious, if this is possible at all.
1) When processing the n-th frame, I need the full access to the data of (n-k)-th and (n+k)-th. Is this possible to do in general case? Or the only variant is to implement frames buffering during the first pass?
2) Our algorithm uses the mask as one of the inputs. But in contrary to the usual case, mask does not define an area of interest. In any case the full frame is processed, but the processing differs for different regions, depending on mask. In our software, it works like this: user defines a mask (and some parameters). Then effect is slightly modifying (let say – refining) the mask during the render and renders final images. After this user can modify the mask somehow again if he/she is not satisfied with what algorithm has done. Can I produce the same workflow in AE? The only way is using a drawbot (this means CS 5.5 and higher)? And what if I want masks to be raster images?
The second question in the framework of this one is how to do two video inputs for an effect (first – the video to be processed and second – the mask (grayscale sequence in general case))?
The possible workflow is that user provides trivial mask – lets say, the black solid. But even during the first pass effect should produce the mask, according to its sight to the video – so, it should somehow substitute the black solid with the sequence on black'n'white images. Is this all possible in AE?
3) Is this possible (should be, I guess) to implement multipass algorithms? How the preview works then, if I need, for example, to pass all the video length 3-4 times, to produce the final render?
I can expect that all this is solvable in AE, but may be experienced users could be so kind to give me some basic recommendation on how to do this. Looking through the PDF, which accompanies the SDK has not allowed to come to a distinct answer for the question: is this possible or not. So, I rely on your consultation.

hi Theofil Mulony, welcome to the forum!
in short, yes, what you want to do is possible, but some parts may be tricky.
and now the long version:
1) When processing the n-th frame, I need the full access to the data of (n-k)-th and (n+k)-th. Is this possible to do in general case? Or the only variant is to implement frames buffering during the first pass?
you can access the pixel data of any layer at times other than the currently processed time. this concept of getting that data is referred to as "layer checkout" in the AE SDK, and "wide time" is the name of getting pixel data at times other than the current.
the following thread discusses the difference between two methods of getting such data:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4033930#4033930
you can also look at the "checkout" sample project to see how both concepts are implemented.
2) Our algorithm uses the mask as one of the inputs. But in contrary to the usual case, mask does not define an area of interest. In any case the full frame is processed, but the processing differs for different regions, depending on mask. In our software, it works like this: user defines a mask (and some parameters). Then effect is slightly modifying (let say – refining) the mask during the render and renders final images. After this user can modify the mask somehow again if he/she is not satisfied with what algorithm has done. Can I produce the same workflow in AE?
masks in AE generate a matte by default. the user can turn that mask off, so that the shape remains, but the mask does not... mask. (you can also set the mask mode to "none" via API commands).
you can then read the "off" mask attributes and either render using an API command (see "pathmaster" sample to see how), or write your own algorithm if the API constraints on that operation are a problem for you. (and there are a few constraints on rendering masks in the API)
now. when you say "modifying the mask" do you mean you modify it's generated matte, or do you mean change it's defining vector?
both are possible, but completely different.
if you turned the mask off, and rendered it's alpha yourself, then you can modify that alpha as you wish.
if you want to use AE's generated matte of the mask and change the mask's outline shape, then you need to look into "streams" and the "mask outline suite".
the user can modify a mask's shape as he/she pleases, unless you lock that mask or otherwise sabotage the user's operation.
The only way is using a drawbot (this means CS 5.5 and higher)?
drawbot is the API for drawing over AE's interface in CS5 and up.
it's only a drawing tool. previous versions used OS drawing tools. that's all the difference.
what i think you're asking is weather you need to create the mask drawing/handling capabilities or not.
the answer is: you can, but you don't have to.
unless you need control over the mask drawing that AE's existing masks don't have, i would have used AE's masks and not create a brand new mechanism (that the user need to learn as well).
if you insist at creating a custom UI for drawing masks, the "CCU" sample project would be a good place to start the research.
(just don't come crying to me when you get a splitting head ache)
And what if I want masks to be raster images?
The second question in the framework of this one is how to do two video inputs for an effect (first – the video to be processed and second – the mask (grayscale sequence in general case))?
The possible workflow is that user provides trivial mask – lets say, the black solid. But even during the first pass effect should produce the mask, according to its sight to the video – so, it should somehow substitute the black solid with the sequence on black'n'white images. Is this all possible in AE?
by default, "effect" plugins (as opposed to AEGPs) get only one input - the image of the layer, post masks and previous effects (but before transformations).
you can put as many "layer param"s in your effect and let the user select any number of other layers, which you can the "checkout" and use as second inputs.
you can also checkout other layers without the user selecting them manually.
however, checked out layer results are pre-masks and effects. so if the user draws a mask over a black solid, you will not be able to read the "post mask" image unless the user pre-composes the layer with the mask inside the pre-comp. it's a common practice for users to do so, as many effects rely on a second input, and that's the only way to make the input pos-masks and effects. (so it's no biggie from the user's point of view)
in the same manner, you can read any layer's image and use it as a mask.
you get the image buffer, so it's up to you to decide whether to use the alpha channel of that image or the rgb (or any other method you see fit).
3) Is this possible (should be, I guess) to implement multipass algorithms? How the preview works then, if I need, for example, to pass all the video length 3-4 times, to produce the final render?
AE doesn't do multi pass rendering.
it actually can render arbitrary frames, in no particular order.
but as you already saw, you can access the image data from any time - of any time, so you can emulate passes.
if you need to fly through the whole sequence for every frame, that would of course be very time consuming and wasteful.
in such a case, you can try to do these passes only once, when effect is implemented, and cache the results.
look up "sequence data", to see how to manage memory specific to a single instance fo you effect.
but i must say that if you have to do full length scans of the footage, a couple of times over, and cache EVERYTHING, then you're in a bit of a problem in AE.
it's just not set up for such rendering logic.
not impossible, but highly inefficient in the AE rendering pipeline.
there is a lot more to al of the above, but i hope this gave you a clearer picture of how things are in AE.

Where does EBS store customized LOV elements?

Dear All,
We are developing a report on EBS r12 >> Payables >> Payments screen.
The Functional Consultants Team added a DFF ( view_inv_pay.DESC_FLEX ) with only 1 segment and its description at the Invoice Payment block level ( VIEW_INV_PAY )
which synchronizes with each matched row in this block.
The values of the DFF come by selecting from an attached customized List of value that the Functional Consultants Team had populated its elements using data loader.
We have a requirement to display the DESCRIPTION of DFF segment in the report not its actual value.
So the question is:
Where does EBS store the data related to a customized LOV ?
And how to join between the LOV’s under laying tables and the below report tables
( AP_CHECKS_ALL AC , HZ_PARTIES HZP , AP_SUPPLIERS PV , GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_TYPES GDCT , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL AIP , AP_INVOICES_ALL AI ) to display the DFF description?
Since, only the actual DFF values are stored in AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table.

Dear Sandeep,
That is great, but what about the joining condition.
I know that i can join by the segment value in the AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table
to be like below:
SELECT ffv.flex_value, ffv.description
FROM fnd_flex_values_vl ffv, fnd_flex_value_sets ffvs , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL API
WHERE ffvs.flex_value_set_id = ffv.flex_value_set_id
and API.SEGMENT1 = FFV.FLEX_VALUE ; -- Assuming that the actual DFF value stored in SEGMENT1
AND ffvs.flex_value_set_name LIKE '&value_set' But for tuning issues is there any an alternative to previous condition?

Custom LOV or How to selct a Employe and their Dept is passed into a prompt

I have been given a change request to enhance an existing Webi report built over a universe with a BEx query as the source.
Currently they are prompted to enter an "employee name" but they now want to select the employee name but the result set to come back for the complete data set for they department they work in. For example select Andrew and the data for all employees in the consulting dept to be returned.
In old school BOBJ a work around was to put the prompt on the department name and amend the LOV to show 2 columns, Dept Name and Employee Name. So the users would scan down the list of employees ( column 2 in the LOV) and select them which would in fact select the department name and pass that back to the query to restrict the data set.
Is there any work around or thought you can suggest to help out in the new world of a universe over BEx ?

Hi,
Sound like something that is easier implemented in the BEX query with a user exit variable.
Ask your BW developers if you want to know more...
Another option is to (ab)use the hierarchical display of prompts;
create an LOV object for department with a built in (XMLfilter) condition on employee (use the normal employee LOV).
set the LOV to use hierachical display.
create a custom (XML) filter for department and point to the LOV for this prompt to the new LOV object for department.
(hide the LOV object from the end-user...)
What that should give you is a list of employees with a plus sign in front.
Clicking on the plus will show the department.
This they can select...
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Java.lang.NullPointerException when attaching a custom LOV

I've created a new LOV and import it. Then I've personalized an existing page by creating a new messageLovInput field and set its external LOV properties to my custom lov and definde the mapping. I get the following when calling my lov : "oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException.wrapperException(OAException.java:888)
at oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAPageErrorHandler.prepareException(OAPageErrorHandler.java:1145)".

Hi,
I am trying to accomplish similar kind of thing i.e. dislaying custom LOV on iProc requisition checkout page...I'll appreciate if you can clarify me on the steps involved.
I am confused if PERSONALIZATION can acheive this on its own or Jdev is needed aswell?

Captivate is not really designed to do what you want in this instance. It's more targeted at allowing a user to complete an assessment and then track whether or not they passed. So it's only really set up to send information in a format that the LMS will understand and interpret as Pass/Faill and what the score was.
You really need something more flexible than that. So I think you would need to get a programmer involved and have the solution custom made. In my experience, any time you try to diverge Captivate from what it was designed to do, and you need to get other IT professionals involved, you can kiss thousands of dollars goodbye before you have a workable solution.

Prompt's customized LOV is not pre-selected when webi report is refreshed

BO XI R 2 SP 1
DB: Oracle10g
Hi - I have customized LOV in every dimension and it's value is '*All'....it appears at the top of LOV values in the prompt list.
When I open the report, it shows the *All is already selected; but when I refresh this report using 'Refresh Data'; everythings comes up fine but *All no longer shows up as pre-selected value.
Is there a way to handle this situation? Please let me know if you need more explanation.
Note that when I hit the save button; report comes back with all '*All' pre-selected in all prompts.

I don't know how to access the document you mentioned...
anyway, to display All as customized value; edit the dimension's SQL and add
UNION
SELECT 'All' FROM DUAL (for oracle)
SELECT 'All' FROM anytablename (for SQL Server)
select the checkbox not to generate SQL and then click Run...click Display and then you should be able to see All as one of your custom value.

How to render a Custom LOV Pop Up with its first Row selected

Hi All,
I have a requirement in my Custom LOV ,
I want to render my custom LOV with Query panel and resulset table in such way, where the first row is selected and the users are able to use the KEY Up and Down Arrows and Enter key to select it.
Currently, the user as to do a single Click atleast one time on a row , so that they can use their KEYs to do the selection.
How can I achieve the above requirement ? Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Hi,
The answer to your query is 'Yes'. You need to design a 'UPDATE' metadata type custom integrator. The custom integrator shall use a parameter based view to first download data and then use a PL/SQL wrapper/API to re-upload it back. The brief steps are listed below:
1. Create a 'UPDATE' metadata type custom integrator. Give a parameter list name, std/custom view for data download and a PL/SQL wrapper.
2. Create a form function and associate the form function with the custom integrator created.
3. Add the form function to the std WebADI menu for access.
4. Define a layout for the custom integrator defined.
4. To create a parameter use the standard integrator 'HR Standalone Query'. As a part of this integrator you can define the SQL WHERE clause (parameter based) that you will like to use with the custom/std view defined in the custom integrator definition.
Note: You can use a max of 5 parameters only. For each parameter, one needs to define the datatype and also the HR standalone query has a size limitation of 2000 chars in 11i10. You increase this length you may apply patch - 3494588 to get 4000 chars.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks,
