Add text to display when no records display

In 'Building Reports' 21.6 which is 'Add text to display when no records display' a solution is given which involves putting boilerplate text underneath the group frame at the same level as the repeating group so that if there aren't any records retrieved the boilderplate text will be visible. My question is - is there an alternative method for achieving the same thing? i.e display the boilderplate text 'None.' if no records are returned. I have a report with a large number of frames & find the solution proposed messy & difficult to implement.
TIA
Simon

The only thing you can do is make sure there is something to print. You could bas your report on a temp table which you populate with your select statement which you normally use in your report. Then after the table is populated you add the missing records in the temp table. Your report will be based upon the temp table.
You can start this process in the after parameter form trigger by calling a PL/SQL procedure which will perform the business logic explained above.

MSS UCF_AcroForm error displayed when trying to display form in PCR

I receive a pop-up UCF_AcroForm error when trying to display a PCR form. I believe it is a configuration problem. I wonder if anyone has ever received this type of error before, and if yes, how was it solved. Thank you.

I have found a way to get rid of this by configuring my ADS Service (thanks to my colleague N.Pothuraj)
Creating an ADS Service:
========================
1) Add the following java settings for the server in the offline config tool
"Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.sap.engine.services.ts.jts.ots.PortableInterceptor.JTSInitialize". Restart the server after the settings
2) create the ADS User in the R/3 system.
3) create the destination of type "HTTP connection to External Server"service between R/3 and the ADS user.
4) Define the destination service under destinations>HTTP>FP_ICF_DATA
    URL:http://usai4qpt.wdf.sap.corp:50077
    User: ADSUser ( ADS_AGENT1 in my case)
    pwd: initial ( in my case)
This destination service is to establish the connection between R/3 and WebDynpro J2EE server
5) Active the webservice clients ( establish connection between ADS server and the WebDynpro J2EE server. This is the case only when the WebDynpro J2EE server and the ADS server are different, other use teh default URL service ).
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.adsproxy.AdsProxy*ConfigPort_Document is the service, under custom type user the below mentioned URL http://pwdf3092.wdf.sap.corp:50090 /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc ( Remote ADS server )
username: adsuser2 (Login for the remote ADS server)
pwd:adobeads123    (Password for the remote ADS server)

8604     Microsoft Windows 874 for Thai
8611     Thai Printer Codepage 1 (EPSON ESC/P2)

Oracle Table Values are not displayed when tried to display with Essbase

Hi,
I was trying to create a report with Oracle RDB Table and Essbase by following the steps given in "Federating Essbase and Relational Data Sources in Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Plus" document at the location http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/fed_data/fed_data.html.
I am able to see the members from the Essbase cubes and I can also see the Oracle Table values, if they are displayed individually (i.e. different reports) but when I try to get one report with Essbase values with Oracle table records then Oracle table records are not displayed and when see the query log I don't see the query for Oracle table but I see obviously MDX queries for the essbase.
Please help.

Hi,
Smitha, you can defnetly use dynamic table in interactive form. I had similar problem and I acheived like follwing:Basically you have to bind the table .
If you want to have fixed number of rows in the interactive form, then in wddoinit method bind the internal table to ur table node. for exmaple: if u want 2 rows in the form loop times . So by default when you open the form you will get two rows for the table.
**************BIND THE ITAB ****************************
DO 2 TIMES.
APPEND LW_LFBK TO LT_LFBK.
CLEAR LW_LFBK.
ENDDO.
CALL METHOD lo_nd_t_lfbk->bind_table
EXPORTING
new_items = LT_LFBK.
If you want to have dynmic table then take a submit button in the form instead of normal button,
in onaction submit write a loop every time you click that new submit button it should add a new row.
use above coding in onactionsubmit instead of doinit.
Thats it.

Ravi

How do I turn off display when using external display

Turning off Macbook Air Display when using External Display on Lion

I had been searching the web and the community forums here for a few hours and finally figured out how to turn off the display on my Macbook Air 2011 running lion and using an external monitor.
With Snow Leopard all you had to do was plug in the external monitor to your MBA then close the lid and wake up the MBA while it was closed. Then you could open up the lid and it would stay off so it would have better air flow and wouldn't get too hot and run the fan all the time.
But ever since Lion, they screwed that up for us.
But after all my searching I finally found someone here give the fix on a MBA.
All you need to do is use a little magnet and put it where the MBA
Special thanks to ronaldfromjakarta and wv636 for giving the answers and workaround until Apple fixes this oversight
"I found a solution for this.. my solution is to put a fridge magnet directly right to the return key (about 2 cm away from the right usb port)... so the laptop thinks the lid is closed and so the display is off.. lol.. try it.. it works.."
You can read more about others using this here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192733?start=0&tstart=0
In this example I used a big yellow magnet just to test it out, but I will be using a small thin magnet for regular use so that it wont mess up my screen if I accidentally close the lid on it.
Also I put a small piece of paper between the magnet and my MBA so that I wont scratch my MBA.
Some will also ask if it is safe to use a magnet on your MBA etc. You are only placing a magnet where the magnet from the lid would go anyway's. Just make sure you don't use a super magnet or something and you should be all good ;-)
Here are the image examples:
MBA is powered on
MBA is now asleep
Just place the magnet right next to the "Enter/ Return" key
(Note: I used a small piece of paper under the magnet to protect from scratching my MBA)

I also made a video

Does this function like the thunderbolt display when in target display mode?

I want to connect a 2011 MacBook Pro to a 2011 iMac via Thunderbolt. Will I be able to use the iMac's peripherals (USB keyboard, FaceTime camera, etc.) to control the MacBook?

Do one of these offer what you want?

Draw a symbol and add text in UIImageView.

I want to Draw a symbol and add text in UIImageView. when move it should move together. When it would get opened next time, it should be editable. pls needful for me

Hi,
You can check out a similar thread where the poster has opted to use imageicons instead of shapes. That thread is here.
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=15074&tstart=0.
As for creating different color shapes for different cells of the jtable, it is definitely possible once you have a custom renderer for your jtable. Just read up on how to create custom table cell renderer.

Display boilerplate text even when no record to display

How would i display boilerplate text (prompt) in my repeating frame even when related query brings back 0 (zero) records ?
Thanks,
Greg B.

You can't display a value in a repeating frame if the repeating frame doesn't print.
However, you can place the same boilerplate underneath the repeating frame so that if the repeating frame doesn't print, the boilerplate underneath will still print. Make the repeating frame opaque so that the boilerplate underneath it doesn't show through if there are any records returned.
Another alternative is to have 2 frames. The first M_R_1 to surround the repeating frame and another frame M_2 to print your boilerplate (and anything else) if the repeating frame returns no records. Place M_2 after M_R_1 and make sure they are both variable sized. Place a format trigger against M_2 so that if a row is retrieved for the repeating frame, it shouldn't print. When no records are retrieved, M_2 will move up into the space vacated by M_R_1.

I have Iphoto 09 8.2 and would like to add text over my photo, so when you bring the photo up the copy displays on the photo. Could you please advise

I am using Iphoto 09 8.2 and need to overlay text on my photo. Could you advise how to do this. Can I do it in Iphoto?

You can't add text to a photo in iPhoto.
In a slideshow you can elect to show the title over a pic.
