Always "Read-only" in dimension detailed view, OWB10gR2

In OWB10gR2, let's get any dimension open in the "Data Object Editor", then click on dimension object, right button menu and select "Detail View". The editor shows as expected, the dimension itself and the underlying table, however in the lower pane where we can select tabs(Storage, Attributes, Levels, etc.) it always says "Read-only". Why is that? According to my security settings, I do have full control over these objects.
Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks,
vr

Everyone, the "detail view" is read only becuase you aren't allowed to change settings here. If you notice, there should be a set of tabs at the top that say "relational", "dimensional", "business definition", and something else for the detail view (can't remember now). It appears that you can only change settings when on the "dimensional" tab - so just click there and you'll be good to go.
Hope this helps,
Scott

  • Is ical "sharing" always read-only?

    I assist an MIT professor who uses the ical software, and I use Windows XP. I need the ability to edit his calendar by "suggesting" a meeting that he can either accept or reject and that is clearly "from" me. Is this possible? If it is, how does the software deal with issues of synchronizing--i.e., if I suggest a mtng on a calendar that hasn't yet been synced up with his Palm that day, will his calendar automatically catch new conflicts when it is synced?
    I read the thread posted about users sharing a synced calendar, and it doesn't sound promising. Any new ideas much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Isadora

    The answer to your basic question is that an iCal that is published by its originator is always read only to those viewing it - either on the web or as a subscription in iCal.
    If you use Outlook, you could try making your suggestions in the form of meeting requests (perhaps in a dedicated calendar on your 'side'?)
    There's an explanation about what happens at the iCal end here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/2.0/en/wr41.html
    I can't be much more precise because I don't have the Windows equipment to verify how well this works.

  • Read Only Conditions - Master Detail

    I have a page with a master detail
    i created an read only condition and the master passed to read only but the detail not...
    Why? Is not possible to put the detail component "read onyl" ?

    Hi,
    When i understand correctly you want that the form is editable when the user is an admin user
    and read only when the user is a normal user.
    You can solve this by the use of dynamic actions
    to enable and disable items of that region(s)
    do this conditional (standard user = disable and admin = enable)
    Other solution
    When making master/ detail with the wizard choose edit detail on different page
    On the edit link you can put a condition (only visible when user is ADMIN)

  • Fat32 Shared from Mac - Folders Always Read Only?

    I have a Mac Book Pro running 10.5.8 with a FAT32 Bootcamp Partition. I set up Windows Sharing so a computer running WIndows Vista can share this FAT32 volume on my Mac. The basic networking works fine, and I can open, edit and save C files in the Microsoft Visual C++ environment I'm using.
    But, the compiler attempts to create temporary files during compilation and this fails. It complains that the folder is write protected. This is substantiated by the fact that when I show the folder properties for the folder in question, it shows "Read Only" in the "Attributes" section.
    Thing is, using Notepad, I can create a new file and save it on these "read-only" folders without any errors.
    So I'm mystified. Any thoughts on why the compiler wouldn't be able to create the temporary files?
    Looking forward to a solution,
    Mark

    I am posting back here because I discovered the cause of the second problem mentioned in the above post. IE: the problem of misbehaving folders in windows.
    First, some background. The folder structure is rather large and complex, so I created it using applescript and a text file with outline levels. Unfortunately, some of the outline titles (which became folder titles) ended in a space.
    Apparently windows does not like folders (files too?) to end with a space. While this never affected my Mac, when I transfered the data and structure to the PC it went haywire. I did notice that the duplicate folders were not identical as I first thought, but rather were generated without the trailing space(s). Now it is just a matter of removing all the trailing spaces and it appears that windows can handle the folders.
    However, every folder I put on the PC still says it is read only and I can't seem to change that. Any help?

  • Read only permissions on a VIEW

    Are the permissions to other users to do a select on view become invalid when the view is updated.
    Or what may cause the permissions become invalid? Is there a way to find this?

    If the view is Dropped, then re-created, you will need to grant select to the user, again.

  • How to populate read only input field or text view form value help only

    Hi experts,
    I have one requirement to populate a read-only field or text view from value help.
    User cant put any value there.value comes only from the value help.
    For example,
    when we read context using Code Wizard,we cant type any value there.value only comes from value help.
    How to implement that functionality?
    Please reply.
    Thanks in advance,
    Subhasis.

    Yes it is possible.
    1.Create a context Attribute and then bind this attribute to the Text view UI element.
    2. read context attribute and then set value to the context attribute like this way.
    DATA:
        elem_context1                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
        stru_context1                        TYPE if_first=>element_context ,
        item_potxt                          LIKE stru_context-potxt.
    get element via lead selection
      elem_context1 = wd_context->get_element(  ).
    stru_context1-potxt = 'PO'.
    elem_context1->set_attribute(
        VALUE  = stru_context1

  • Granting Read Only Access to user in another schema

    Oracle Database 10g
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3
    We are requested by a developer to grant his account read only access to TABLES, VIEWS, INDEXES, SEQUENCES, FUNCTIONS, PROCEDURES, PACKAGES, TRIGGERS, JOBS of another schema.
    I know granting read only access to Tables and Views. But is it possible to grant READ ONLY access to other mentioned objects ? How to do it ?
    And some views are in INVALID status.
    I tried to compile them using alter view owner.viewname compile;
    But got this ---- Warning: View altered with compilation errors.
    Those views are still in INVALID status. And then I tried to use utlrp.sql . Same result.
    Then I used the following
    SELECT TEXT FROM DBA_VIEWS WHERE VIEW_NAME='view-name';
    select REFERENCED_NAME,REFERENCED_TYPE from dba_dependencies where name='view-name';
    It turns out some reference types are non existent.
    Does that mean DBAs cannot do anything about this ?

    TABLES -> YES grant SELECT

    SEQUENCE -> YES grant SELECT
    INDEXES -> There is no read access for indexes...indexes are put on tables and a user who has read access on tables can read the index as well.
    FUNCTIONS / PROCEDURES / PACKAGES -> I am not sure what you mean by read access on procedures, functions and packages. You may grant EXECUTE privilege on these.
    TRIGGERS -> there is no read access on triggers required. They are implemented on tables for a DML event. If the user has DML access he has the execute access on the trigger as well.
    JOBS -> I am not sure what to read from Jobs.

    Does that mean DBAs cannot do anything about this ?There are compilation errors in the Views. e.g. the view may be referring to a table which doesn't exist etc.
    Unless you fix the error in the view you can't compile it and male it valid. Fix the view errors. If objects are non existing create them or refer to view to some where else.
    If the nonexistent objects were mistakenly dropped, or the data file which contained those objects was dropped, no matter what was the reason for that object to be gone a DBA can bring it back if he is a well prepared DBA and has setup his database for such kind of disasters.
    Now tell us why those objects are non-existent ? were they meant to be gone ? or they were dropped mistakenly?
    Now here are my guesses:
    If they were meant to be gone then probably the views definitions need to be adjusted not to refer them anymore.
    If they were mistakenly dropped then:
    Do you have them in recyclebin? (only tables) if YES just FLASHBACK TABLE <<tablename>> AS BEFORE DROP.
    Is your database has Flashback database ON? if YES FLASHBACK DATABASE until 'time/scn just before the object was dropped'
    Do you have backups and your database is running in ARCHIVE LOG mode? if YES perform an incomplete recovery using RMAN.

  • How can a repository be in "read only mode"?

    Hi,
    i got a strange error in my logfiles.
    For example if I open a document in the repository /documents I see in the logfile (DebugLevel)
    in read only mode updates for statistic are disabled
    path:com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.accessstatistic.AccessStatisticManager.received()
    and after that theres an entry
    getProperty readonly called
    And it really doesn´t update the acc properties.
    I see no option at the CM Repository "documents" that might set it to read only and in details under Content Administration --> KM Content the "read only" flag for documents is not checked.
    I have the same issue with all my other Repositories and none is set to read only.
    Is there another place where it might be set to read only???
    This problem appeared first time after upgrade to 7.0 SP15

  • Read only item populated by dynamic LOV

    Since I'm using artificial keys in most of my table FKs, I need to use a lot of LOVs to provide the user with discernible data.
    Many of the columns I use an LOV for I need to be read only items. However, whenever I use a dynamic LOV, I do not see how to make it read only. It sets the value of the item to [].
    I know this can be accomplished in some cases with a join in the underlying query. However, many of the pages where I need to make this change are not based on a query.
    Is there a way to make an item populated by an LOV read only while still retaining the value?
    Thanks for your help!
    -Reid

    I'm using apex 3.2.1. Your testing and replies have helped me realize that the problem is that the column indeed did not have a value. When I had the item "display as" set to "select list" the LOV was also setup for allow NULL=NO. Thus, it was showing some value in the LOV in that item. But, when I switched to the "display as text" and set the always read only, then it gave the double brackets []. When I changed the allow NULL=YES, it worked fine and gave me a blank value.
    Thanks again!

  • Help on opening read only Windows files

    Hello, i hope someone can help.
    I have changed to Mac OS server from a windows 2000 based file sharing machine users have both mac os and windows xp. All files were copied over to the OS server and access etc has not been an issue until now!
    Recently I have come across some files which have windows based read only attributes applied by the windows based user. These files are sent to me by clients, they are CAD drawing files.
    The problem is no user can open these files, the message from a windows XP machine is the file is in use or read only do you want to open as read only. Selecting yes and the result is you do not have permissions to read this. Permissions are fine for the folder as other files in the same folders are read and written fine if they do not have the read only attribute.
    If viewing in Mac OS the icon for these files have a padlock in the bottom left.
    So i try to change the read only attribute and both windows XP and mac os say i do not have permission, even when logged on as the administrator. Also cannot copy them from the server to the XP machine via the XP machine.
    I can copy via the mac server admin to an XP machine then change the attribute and copy it back to the server and of course it works fine.
    Problem to solve is, I now see while scanning through I have several hundreds of these files spread through hundreds of folders. Is there any way to change this permission on all files starting at the root folder in one hit or at least change them via Mac Os?
    Any help would be much appreciated, sorry to be so long winded.
    Cheers, Paul

    I'm having exactly the same problem on a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server with opening files on Windows 7 machines using SolidWorks 2010. All permissions seem to correct.
    Propagating permissions through these files and folders doesn't have any effect.
    All Sharepoints are on a FW800 Hard disk.

  • Possible?Multi-Entity View Object with one Entity Object that is Read-only.

    I know this sounds crazy, but I would like to create a multi-entity view object, where one entity object is based on a table in my application (we'll call it "Users", which basically stores the primary key for the person from the institutional people database), and the other table is a entity object based on a view of the institutional people database table (read only access), which we can call "People".
    I know that since no updates will be done to the People table, it really should be a read-only View Object, but I would lose the ability to sort on attributes like Last Name, Hire date, etc, since those would be transient attributes in my ViewObject for the Users. By having People as an entity object, I can then create a multi entity view object and have the ability to join Users to People and be able to sort on the above mentioned fields (like Last Name).
    The problem is that when I use the JDev (I'm currently using 10.1.2.1) AppModule BC4J tester, when I click on the multi-entity view object that I added to the AppModule it gives me an error:
    oracle.jbo.RowCreateException) JBO-25017: Error while creating a new entity row for People.
    ----- LEVEL 1: DETAIL 0 -----
    (java.lang.InstantiationException) null
    I have tried to change all the attributes to updateable in my entity object, but no create method, and I have tried to make them all read-only, but no effect, I get the same error (probably because the People view is read-only in my schema).
    Is there a way to change the entity object so that it will not try to create a new row when it runs the Tester? So that the multi entity view object behaves more like a view link, but gives me the added bonus of being able to sort on the Last Name column from the People table?
    Thanks for any help on this subject...at worst, I will have to use the view link method to get the job accomplished, but it would be "cooler" if this would work!
    Jeremy.

    Steve, thanks for your quick response to my question.
    To answer your questions, I was trying to create the Multi-entity View Object to give me more flexibility when working with my User table, and my People view. The flexibility I desired was that I would be able to sort my Users based on attributes in the People view. This is not possible when the there is only one Entity in my VO, and the People view data are all transient attributes, because they are not in the SQL statement.
    Ultimately, after working with one of my colleagues, we decided to use the approach that you mentioned by creating a read-only VO with the SQL query we want to display to the user (contains both User and People data fields), and then use a different ViewObject when performing other actions on the User Table (such as inserts/updates/deletes). By using the setWhereClauseParam() method in the handleLifeCycle() for the JSP page, we should be able to navigate between the different View Objects, so that the user does not see any difference.
    Thanks! Oh, and by the way, I have read your article you included before, and I have used it many times before to tune my View Objects! Thanks!

  • UIX: How to add linked view table columns to the Read-only table

    Hi
    I have two tables
    T1: ID, STAFF_ID, NOTE
    T2: STAFF_ID, USERNAME
    I have created corresponding entity objects (E1, E2), views (V1, V2), association A(E1->E2 as *..1 using STAFF_ID) and viewlink VL(V1->V2 as *..1 using association A).
    My model in AppModule looks like
    V1
    ----V2 via VL
    Now I have single UIX page in which I drop V1 as Read-only table. The table displays columns correctly: ID, STAFF_ID, NOTE
    What I want is to add a column STAFF_ID from the V2 into this table. I have tried to drop it into the table but when the page is run it does not display anything in that column. It has to do something with binding.
    I have done similar test with dropping V1 as read-only FORM and then added STAFF_ID from V2 as messageTextInput and everything is rendered correctly.
    Anyone knows how to do the same thing but with table?

    Yes that is true but I would like to give another example where this may not apply.
    Say I have 3 tables
    CLIENT(INDIVIDUAL_ID,...)
    ADDRESS(ADDRESS_ID,...)
    ADDRESS_HISTORY(ADDRESS_ID, INDIVIDUAL_ID,BEST_ADDRESS)
    where ADDRESS_HISTORY is intersection table in CLIENT to ADDRESS many to many relationship.
    Suppose I have VO2 that consists of ADDRESS and ADDRESS_HISTORY entities (corresponding association exists) and user needs to add new address for the selected customer in VO1 (made from CLIENT entity). There are several issues here:
    1) An input form made out of VO2 must contain an entry for BEST_ADDRESS flag but since it will be read-only, seems that this approach may not work. However, I found a post re:Updating view objects with multiple entities that provides workaround this.
    2) In that case assume that I use DBSequence to automatically add ADDRESS_ID when user inputs new record in this input form. I am using DB Trigger on ADDRESS table and have selected ADDRESS_ID in ADDRESS entity as DBSequence. Now observe that VO2 would contain another ADDRESS_ID from ADDRESS_HISTORY entity which has to be automatically populated with the same value. How?
    In a nutshell my question relates to the problem how to automatically populate intersection table when new record is added to the detail. But the trick is that some attributes of the intersection table must be inserted by the user in the form..
    Please advise

  • Sharing a view in read only mode

    Hi,
    I am new in this domain. I have made an application in which I made two local development projects. Through that I am using views of one into another with the help of "Used WebDynpro Components" concept. After deploying, I have got these two views.
    But the problem is that I want that view in read only mode which I have taken from other local development project and this view was not in read only mode in its local development projects.
    Please provide me the solution in detail so that I can understand easily.

    Hi Manish,
                   Say View1 is the view in main Component,View2 is the view in used Component.  Exactly follow these steps.
    Create a context attribute <b>enable </b>of type String in used Component's controller,used Component's Interface controller, View1 and View2.
    Using context mapping map these attributes  View2 ->  used Component's controller->  used Component's Interface controller -> View1 ( if you don't know how to map double click the  the Main component: Data navigation modeler is opened; In  the diagram, right side select small arrow  first select  View1 drag to used Component's Interface controller,in the wizard select right hand side <b>enable </b>attribute drag to left side)
    you can map similarly View2 ->  used Component's controller->  used Component's Interface controller.
    In View2 create another variable <b>edit </b>of boolean type.
    Open Layout tab of View2, bind this attribute to enable property of all the UI elements which you want to disable.
    In  implementation tab of View1 in method wdDoInit() write this code
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setEnable("display");
    In  implementation tab of View2 in method wdDoInit() write this code
    if(wdContext.currentContextElement.getEnable().equalIgnoreCase("display"))
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setEdit(false);
    else
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setEdit(true);
    Hope this helps for you.

  • Can users without Publisher 2010 view (read only) Publisher pieces in a SharePoint 2010 library?

    I'm (very) new to SharePoint 2010 and fumbling my way through it with a certain amount of success. We have a variety of Publisher 2010 items I wanted to be made available in a library. Not all of the users in the group have Publisher, so I converted them
    all to PDF...which doesn't seem to work with SharePoint 2010. So my question is...if a member of the group does not have Publisher 2010, will he or she be able to view these same items if I post them as read only in Publisher? OR, even better, is there
    a workaround for PDFs? Thanks so much! --SMGKatz

    EDITING original response to Mike Smith below.
    Updated here:
    At Mike's suggestion, I tried the XPS/XML route and we have a WINNER!!! Multiple problems solved.
    Thanks, Mike!
    This is helpful and leads me to a second question... we all have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard or at least Acrobat Reader, but the PDFs were giving us trouble. When you mention "a PDF viewer" were you referring to Acrobat Reader or is there some
    sort of plug-in that plays with SharePoint?
    The only way to convert them to Word would be to save the Publisher pieces as images and drop them into Word, which I can do. I had hoped to post items in the library that users could download to use and the PDF is much more versatile than a Word document
    for this purpose. I haven't yet tested the quality/resolution of the PDF vs Word w/ an image dropped in, so I don't know if this would be an issue, as well.
    We've always gone the PDF route. Maybe I'll explore XPS options and see how that works out for me. I have to be honest, I never knew what XPS was until you mentioned it and I looked it up. So thank you for that, as well! That may end up being my solution!
