ASP and BI Publisher

Hi,
We are migrating an Oracle Forms/ Reports over to ASP.NET and want the new system to use BI Publisher.
Does any one have any guidance of how to launch BI Publisher from an ASP.NET application.
Thanks.

Hi,
the best way might be to use the WebService API of BI Publisher. Call it from ASP like you all other WebServices. There are a lot of methods available.

R: (forte-users) ASP and Forté

Hi Kenny,
I suggest you to use XML in order to publish your Forté services.
There is a Forté Library called HTTPDC that let you start up a listener that
answer to HTTP Request.
So you will have a ASP/Forté integration via HTTP/XML
Hope this helps.

Subject: (forte-users) ASP and Forté
Hi everybody!
I'm a new Forté developer, so i have some question about it, speciallyone:
I want to access Forté service objects through an ASP script. To be more
precise, I want to get back some informations (like, for exemple, the
information of a customer's account) from the Forté world and to make-upthe
web page in my ASP script.
Is it possible writing an ASP script (in VisualBasic for example) witch
calls Forté service objects?
How can I do that? Maybe by using Web Enterprise's libraries, but itseems
to me that Web access service objet returns only HTLM pages.
Any suggestions and explanations would be appreciated.
Thank's in advance for your replies,
Kenny,

Trying to simply connect to Oracle with VBscript/ASP - and I cannot.

This is rather embarrassing. I am pretty fluent with ASP and VBscript, and I have written many a web application connecting to Microsoft SQL Server. Now I have a need to connect to an Oracle database, and I'm beating my head against the wall.
1) Web server is Windows Server 2003 SP1
2) Using ASP (not ASP.NET) & VBscript
3) I have installed the Oracle drivers on the server - it is version 10g
4) The administrator of the Oracle database to which I want to connect has created a username and password for me to use from within my code
5) Here is the code I am trying to run:
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open "Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=XXXXXXX;User Id=YYYYYYY;Password=ZZZZZZZ;"
That's it. 2 lines of code just trying to establish a connection. Using the user name and password provided to me by the administrator, and for Data Source I am using the IP address of the Oracle server (like I have done in the past when connecting to SQL Server). I receive the following error message when viewing this in a browser:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle error '80004005'
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Evidently, the Data Source I am using is not correct, but I was provided no other information from the admin. This is the first time any of us have tried to connect to Oracle using ASP/VBScript, so the administrator isn't sure what I need to do ... any help would be so appreciated.

Hello,
I got mine to work by setting up an ODBC System DSN and connecting to it. I think this bypasses the Microsoft driver, which might be what's causing the problem.
Set Db = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Db.Open "DSN=TEST;User ID=userid;Password=password;"
Good luck, I've found it requires a lot of persistence...

Problems with reports and XML-publisher - No XML

Hi!
I'm having a problem with Apps and XML-publisher. I made a report file, which queries some views. When executing in reports, I get all the data I expect.
Now, when I upload the reportfile to Apps and let it generate XML, my xml-file is empty (well, almost empty)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<T03501684>
<LIST_G_PERSOON>
<LIST_G_PERSOON />
</T03501684>
Anyone who can shed any light upon this problem?

OK, finally solved the problem... A good night's sleep always helps ;).
After just trying each queried table one after an other, I found the problem:
The difference between Oracle Apps (Dutch locale) and the reports builder (English) is the language... And our functional people have changed some names, but the Dutch ones, leaving the english names in place and one of the tables I query has language specific data, which is also appears in a where clause.

Where are you hosting the site a what are you using to upload the site files to the server?

The problem is when we create and then publish to ibooks review it can not be shown completely. How can I solve this problem?

If you are saying, that you published the book to the iBooks review team and cannot be seem in the store.
Use your iTunes Connect account > Manage your Books to check on its status. It takes time so you need to allow a few days.
If its a problems viewing on your iPad Follow the above advice and another option is is export your book, open iBooks on your Mac and drag the book into iBooks.
You can iTunes > add to libray and sync to your iPad.

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.
Leandro

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

How to disable 'Save' button when OAF and XML Publisher integrated...URGENT

Hi,
I am new to the OA Framework and XML publisher. I have been working on a requirement where I am designing a new page in Manager Self Service with few fields and a submit button. Also designed a RTF template in XML publisher to display the output in PDF format.
When the details are entered on the page and click on 'Submit' button, the PDF will Open with the data populated. This is working perfectly... thanks to the forum.
But my issue is: When the submit button is clicked, it displayes a dialog box with Open/Save/Cancel options and if I click the 'Open', the PDF will be opened. But my client is a retail client and they don't want store managers to save this PDF so either I have to skip this dialog box and directly open the PDF or I have to disable the 'Save' on the dialog box.
Gurus -- Please help me how to achieve this. This is very urgent
Below is the piece of code I am using in the controller to generate the PDF.
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),
APP_NAME,
TEMPLATE_CODE,
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(),
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),
inputStream,
TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,
null,
pdfFile);
Thanks in Advance,
Naren

Frank, thanks for the update.
But do you want me to try ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty(); in button disable property?
I have written one method in my am like
public boolean isTransactionDirty(){
return getDBTransaction.isDity();
and exposed that method to client side and i try to use this method in my button disable property as
disable#{bindings.isTransactionDirty.execute} but this is not working.
Thanks

BIEE and BI Publisher standalone

Hi,
I am new to BI, I went through OBE for BIEE and BI Publisher. I have installed BIEE (and BI publisher desktop) successfully, when I launch BI Publisher shipped with BIEE, I dont get admin tab and thus account tab in preferences. Moreover, no option to create new report etc however, I can work in Dashboard and Answers. Then I installed BI Publisher standalone, I performed this installation twice, once it was installed at 9704 port (when OC4J of BIEE was stopped) and next time at 9705 port (when OC4J service was running). With this new installation I got admin tab and was able to create report and word template etc. But with that installation I was unable to proceed with section "Creating BI Publisher Reports Based on Various Data Sources" of BI getting started OBE : http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm as MS word can either connect to 9705 BI installation only. Can any one please guide me what I am missing and that should BIEE and BI Publisher standalone be installed on same PC or not, or, what else I need to do to complete that OBE.
NOTE: I have done all installation on VMWare, I hope it has nothing to do with the problem I am facing.
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
Qamar

There are several reasons as to why you can have the BIP Admin tab missing in your installation. This issue is very well covered in the forum so I suggest you use the forum search and read them all.

Problem with getting Dreamweaver CC to support ASP and ASPX

My company and our developers have been using Dreamweaver for more than 10 years and over that time have used DW to build an ASP and SQL server based system with a code base of over 200 programs and literally thousands of web pages in many, many currently active business websites. We subscribed to Creative Cloud upon upgrading our workstations to Wondows 8 but found to our consternation that DW CC does not support ASP or ASP.NET. We have followed instructions provided in this forum in June and attempted to edit the Extensions file to include ASP and ASPX, but either DW or Windows 8 refuses to allow the change to be saved, even with have Administrator access. What can we do now, apart from cancel our CC subscriptions?

Thanks Nithya.MV for your earlier response.
We have now found a solution at http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/change-add-recognized-file-extensions.html which applies to Dreamweaver CS6 but can be adapted to DW CC. The solution was:
1. Go to C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt
2. Open the file in say NotePad (visit Preferences first to turn off Read Only if necessary).
3. Add ASP, ASPX, to the front of the list of extensions in the first line.
4. Save the Extensions.txt file (then resent the file to Real Only in Preferences)
5. Close Dreamweaver CC if it's open.
6. (Re)start Dreamweaver CC and open the required .asp or .aspx file.
This worked a treat.
Unfortunately all the other intructions provided on the Support Forum had us looking in the wrong place at:
C\Program files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\configuration\Extensions.txt

Spotlight/Finder Doesn't Search In ASP and other file types?

.asp and .c file types are nothing more than .txt files with different extentions..
Am I correct in thinking that Spotlight doesn't search inside these files? I have a folder full of asp files and spotlight doesn't seem to find anything when I type text that I know is inside one (as a test)
It does appear to search INSIDE .html files in the same folder.. Can you add different file extentions that spotlight will search into?
If not, then "Spotlight" is much ado about nothing as google desktop search, X1 and the msn desktop search (Windows) released years ago search inside ALL files..

Spotlight makes a content index for files using mdimporter, and that process depends on mdimporter modules for the specific file type. Thus in /Library/Spotlight you will see a collection, such as Microsoft Office.mdimporter, of "extras" for special file types. There are also the built-in ones in /System/Library/Spotlight. If you installed Xcode/Developer Tools, there should be a SourceCode.mdimporter, which I imagine would index the asp and c files. If not, some people have modified it to also index php files, see this discussion:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050514182520714&query=spotlight%2 Bphp%2Bfiles
at MacOSXHints. I think you could do something similar (at your own risk of course) for other pure text based files. Be sure to expand the the replies and read them.

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

Vertical Image Scroller with ASP and Database

A vertical image scroller where photos (thumbnails) can be
added or deleted with an app using asp and a database.
The scroller would be able to hold unlimited thumbnails. The
thumbnails
would also be buttons used to go to another frame or html
page.
The thumbnails start to scroll down when mouse rollovers top
half of
vertical thumbnail bar and scrolls up when mouse rollovers
bottom half of
bar. Slows and stops in the center of the bar.
Is this possible?

Any idea on how to tackle this?
I have created a image scroller and I know how to create a
database and an
application to add records using asp.
But need help on creating a scroller that holds Unlimited
thumbnails in
Flash and adds the images to the thumbnail bar.
Thanks
