Agentry - InitialValue Rule Question

I'm trying to create an initial value rule to fill in a header label. The label is dependent on what object the user has selected from the previous list screen. I want to concatenate a few properties from the selected object. Here's an example of a property I'm trying to select:
:>Main Screen Set>"CurrentInspections_iPhone_List">Current Object>"Shop"
The Agentry rule editor won't allow me to select this property and it appears to be tied to the MainObject by default. Is there a way to set it up so I can use the properties from the selected object on the previous list screen?

Christopher,
In the rule editor when you are attempting to select the property you will need to select the Browse option. This will open the property browser and from there scroll down and select the screen reference and drill down to the current or selected object and property.
You might also be able to select Other Object -> {Your Object Name} -> Property to get the same value.
I would recommend selecting the screen route as the first attempt.

Mail Rules Question

I have a lot of email on my Gmail account. A semi significant portion of them are status updates, such as Facebook, Pownce, Netflix, and other site updates. In the past when I used POP, it wasn't such a big deal to keep these emails because Gmail offers something like 4GB of space. However, now that I am switching to IMAP, it's taken me forever sync with all 14,000 emails on the Gmail server.
I don't want to have to do that again, especially not on my iPhone.
My question is this: Is it theoretically possible to setup a mail rule to have a specific folder delete all its contents after a specified amount of time? Looking in the default mail rule options, there is the ability to delete email as it comes in, but not necessarily after, say, 30 days. I'm looking for something along the lines of, "every 30 days, delete everything in this mail folder."
Any ideas?

Mail doesn’t provide that functionality, but you may set up a smart mailbox that displays the messages to be deleted, then manually delete whatever shows up there every once in a while.
Yeah, that's what I figured.
Another option is writing an AppleScript and selecting the "Run AppleScript" rule option, but I'm a) not 100% it's even possible, and b) rusty on AppleScript.

Currency Converion and Business Rule questions

Hi all,
I am new to BPC and would appreciate if you can help me answer few of my questions. I was going through how to documents on currency conversion and Business Rules.
1. The Flow in Currency Conversion and Business Rules different?
2. Can Currency conversion be done without defining the Currency Rules?
3. In Business Rules Detail there is a cloumn for Sign. How should one determine what sign should go for a given account?
Thanks,
Diksha.

Venkatesh,
It seems like you are using Company as your Entity type dimension.
Try to change your code to look like this
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
     CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
     SELECT(%CURRENCY_SET_ID%,"[ID]",CURRENCY,"CURRENCY_TYPE='R'")
     TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
     RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
    OTHER = [COMPANY=%COMPANY_SET%]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM

Oracle Business Rules Question

Hi,
I'm pretty new with Oracle Rules. I've had no trouble using them, to date. I define Java classes, set up the facts in Rules Author, and create the Dictionary, Ruleset, and rules... etc.
I can run them fine, and the technology works as expected. My question is... what if my underlying data structures for the facts (the java class(es) in my case) change?
From what I see with the Rules Author tool, there isn't an obvious way to sync up the underlying fact with events on the ground. I can see there would be a really good reason for not allowing attributes/methods/props to be removed (without redoing (some of???) the rulesets/rules)... but I am really interested in the ability for adding methods/attributes/etc to the underlying structures without rework.
Here is my use case: I set up an initial fact and a ruleset for our clients with which to build rules. They add 500 rules. They now request the "fact" include another "new" attribute to be available in all new rules. Do I have to start over, and redo the 500 rules to accommodate the new attribute? There must be something which eases the pain... but I haven't found it yet.
Any help in this issue would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was making it more difficult than it deserved. I've been trying to "re" import... and never tried to import over the fact I already had.
Thanks!

AD OID mapping rule questions

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to map the first and last names from AD to OID in the mapping file. Currently I have the following and wanted to make sure if it's correct:
sn,SAMAccountName: : :person:sn: :person:sn|SAMAccountName
givenName: : :person:givenName: :person
# Map the userprincipalname to the nickname attr by default
#userPrincipalName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:userPrincipalName
# Map the SamAccountName to the nickname attr if required
# If this rule is enabled, userprincipalname rule needs to be disabled
sAMAccountName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:sAMAccountName
The other question I have is why we need to disable userprincipalname rule when the following is enabled. As I am also trying to enable WNA/SSO too, what other rules I need for that in my mapping file.
sAMAccountName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:sAMAccountName
Thanks

I have these first two rules here and they seem to be working fine. But I think you will have trouble with the third one with WNA authentication.
About the two last rules for uid, the reason you can only have onle one of these is that both are storing a value on the uid attribute. You need to choose wether you want to use the samaccountname or the userprincipalname on it.
I remember seeing somewhere that for WNA authentication to work the uid should be in the format [email protected], so you would need to map userprincipalname to uid instead of samaccountname, I am not absolutely sure about this since I have never setup WNA.
And also you would need to populate the krbprincipalname. I think this one is automatically copied to the orclsamaccountname attribute, which is required. I have a rule like this here:
userPrincipalName: : :user:krbPrincipalName: :orcluserv2:trunc(userPrincipalName,'@')+'@'+toupper(truncl(userPrincipalName,'@'))
There are some walktroughs on Oracle By Examples that I found very usefull. This one is for WNA:

Rules Question -Criteria-single or multiple?

Say you are making a rule like if the subject contains any of these items, then move to trash...
Can you put multiple items in the string like this: refinance hoodia cialis viagra valium mortgage
or should they be separated by commas or should each item be by itself as a separate condition?
Thanks

I guess no one can answer this question?

Hi,
If I change the Style for date input to Year, Month and Day edits on an Entity Instance collect screen, it will build and debug correct. The issue is that if I close the project and try to re-open it, the following error will show.
*"Item has already been added. Key in dictionary:'_input-style' Key being added: '_input-style'"*
After importing the files into a new project (because it didn't open anymore) I noticed that by trying to import the Interview Screens file it gives the same error. After some more research I noticed that it gave the error after changing the input Style at an Entity Instance collect screen.
How can I still change the Style to Year, Month and Day edits (because in Dutch we normally notate dates like dd-mm-yyyy instead of yyyy-mm-dd)? Single Edit (default) is a bit unnatural, because even with all the settings being in Dutch you still need to input the date with yyyy-mm-dd.
Thanks,
Niels Roest

Payroll rule question

I need to reduce a wage type by differing amounts based on what day of the week an absence occurs.
For example, an employee is paid £100 in infotype 14, but the company wants to split this amount as follows:
MON = £10
TUE = £10
WED = £10
THUR = £10
FRI = £10
SAT = £25
SUN = £25
TOTAL = £100.00
Now, if the employee goes off sick on a Tuesday for example i should reduce by £10 but if an employee goes off on a Saturday I need to reduce by £25.
I am assuming there is a function I can use to evaluate what day of the week an absence falls on, then write a rule to reduce by the required amounts, can anyone suggest any ideas how I can achieve this?
Thanks

IN Time Evaluation, you can use VARSTWEDAY where 1 = MOnday and so forth till 7 = Sunday.
Hope this helps.

Discrepancy between browser & design view; Hor. Rule Question

These are actually two issues, but I'm using one page as an example. I'm encountering this throughout other pages on the site.
Design view is absolutely killing me. I get the layout correct, but in brower view (this is both FF and IE) the margin space is not consistent at top and bottom and throws the design out of whack. Additionally, I love the look of horizontal rules, but there's a LOT of margin space around it. I'd like to reduce it. When I look in the code, I'm not seeing any errant p tags or line breaks.
Be advised the page I'm sending you is a child page from a template. I've set up one editable region. I've edited the padding / margin for the editable div on the template, which works well site-wide. There's also a little bit of padding in the CSS "body_text" that controls the formatting. It's cool site-wide as well.
I don't have this page linked yet, so it's not published. However, I've attached PDFs of the browser and design views, as well as the code as a word doc. The actual editable text region has been shaded gray so you don't have to wade through the template stuff.
Thanks.
W!

Often when you fix one code validation error, it takes care of several others.

Udev rules question

I have a pl2303 converter which appears as /dev/ttyUSB0, owned by root,uucp. I do not want to run minicom as root nor do I want to add myself to the uucp group, as either of these approaches lend themselves to potential issues to the system. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would need this udev rule:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]", MODE="0666"
I have not written any custom rules before, and therefore my /etc/udev/rules.d dir only contains two 75-*.rules.optional files. Obviously I should create a new *.rules file with this rule, but I'm concerned that a custom rules file will inhibit the implicit default rules in /lib/udev/rules.d and I'm unsure which integer to precede the custom rules file (greater than the default?).

You generally want your rules file to be first, so most people tend to do it at 10-....
If you build your rule correctly, it should not affect the other rules - you should uniquely identify the device and make sure it doesn't accidentally pick up other devices. You should be able to find an attribute (eg vendor and/or model) that helps.
This is useful, though a little out of date (the command to get the device information is wrong now, and some fields have changed).

KFF Security Rules question

Hi,
I developed a custom page which has an Accounting KFF. I then defined security rules to exclude certain accounts for a particular responsibility and assigned the rule to the responsibility.
When I am testing I see that the account is still shown in the KFF LOV and the users are able to select the account.
Can someone point out what am I missing.
We are on 11.5.10 RUP4.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Srinivas

Any help on this is greatly appreciated...
Thanks a lot in advance.

Time Ruler Question...I think

I'm new to After Effects. I've tried to figure this out on my own, but figured Id try asking online. When I want to move my movie forward via Next Frame, I have to move forwards 4 frames before the image actually moves. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but when I've seen other people tut videos, and they only seem to have to click Next Frame once. Maybe It has to do with my Time Ruler, I don't know. Again, a huge noob I am to AE. Some non condescending advice would be appreciated.

If your composition frame rate matches your footage frame rate then moving one frame in the timeline (page down key) moves one frame. If you footage is say 29.97fps (normal ntsc video) but your comp is 60 (or 59.95) then moving the CTI (current time indicator) forward two frames advances to the next frame of the video in the composition.
If that's not what you're seeing please tell us all about your composition settings and your footage.
One more thing. Say you're animating position or rotation of a layer. In this case, it doesn't matter what frame rate the composition is. Move one frame in the time line and you move one frame.
I just had another thought. Maybe you are looking at timecode instead of frames in the Time Display. If the display is set to time code instead of frames and you advance a single frame in a comp that is 60 fps then the timecode will not advance by a frame number until you move 2.
Since you said you have to move 4 frames before the image actually moves I suspect that the comp frame rate does not match the footage frame rate.

Business Rule question

Hi
how can I achieve the following in a business rule.
I want to copy some data from a cost center to multiple cost centers
I will have a runtime propmpt for a source cost center and multiple runtime propmpts for multiple cost centers.
DATACOPY from [source_cost center] TO [Target Cost Center _1];
DATACOPY from [source_cost center] TO [Target Cost Center _2];
DATACOPY from [source_cost center] TO [Target Cost Center _3];
my problem is that i will include per say 5 destination cost center runtime prompts and user wants to use only three destination
cost centers. how can i incorporate that logic into my business rule.
will business rule allow no input into a runtime prompt.
thanks in advance

Hi Eric,
i used the following script to copy from one cost center to multiple cost centers.
Planning system nine allows to have mutliple members. my [EntityDriverTo] is multiple member and my source [EntityDriverFrom] is single member.

Forwarding Mail using Rules Question

Why is it that if I set up a rule to forward messages sent to a certain address, the message doesnt apppear in my sent folder.
It makes it hard to check that the ruile is working and to keep trap of what has happened.
IS there a way to switch that on?
best
Tommy Banana

None that come to mind -- can you provide more info about what steps they are executing when trying to Forward? Does the message get composed, but not sent, or never get composed? Or does the message seem to be sent, but it is never received?

New Switcher Mail Rules Question

Hi everyone. I jsut switched and in setting up Mail I want it to move all mail from a specific account to a Folder( don't want to use the inbox for this account). When I setup the rule to move all mail from account X to folder Z, Junk mail rules are no longer followed. I want it to do the message moved based on the account, but I STILL want the JUNK rule to be active so it filters the junkmail then does the message moving.
Make sense?
Hope someone can help.

Macbook pro yo! Mac OS X (10.4.6) all pimped out

Lawrence,
I had been thinking, already, about what to do if this did not work. It occurred to me that the Junk filter might be putting the messages in your other mailbox, INSTEAD of the Junk mailbox, and not as a result of your Rule to move the messages.
One way to test this possibility would be to remove your Rule to move the incoming messages, and see where the Junk filter would then place the junk messages. Your folder would still be available, and if junk mail still found its way there, we would know the answer. In this approach, you could later rewrite the Rule, and have it apply to all messages already in the Inbox.
The other approach would be to change the preferences for Junk, to go back into Training, which should remove the Junk folder. Quit Mail, and then reset Junk to be in Automatic, which then would create new Junk folders.
Still another approach would be to remove all Mail Preferences, and set things up again (but not losing any mailboxes) -- I do not like this approach, for now.
