Beehive enhancement of the day: auto-display subfolders in delegator's ws

A very very nice feature of beehive is delegation. A user can delegate its mail, calendar, tasks and contacts to another user. Typically this is used in a secretary / superior constellation.
We use this feature also to implement reliable mail contacts: external senders will primarily directed to pseudo accounts, and "real" mail users receive delegation rights to act on behalf of these addresses.
This has the advantage that of trans-personal, reliable contacts that need not be changed when users change.
A rough edge of this solution is that delegated mail folder tree structures are not automatically updated with the workspace linked in to the own personal OBEO profile: you are used to see OBEO detect the folder structure of your personal workspace (and reflects changes done by alternative clients like Zimbra), and you are used to see subfolder changes in team workspaces recognized by OBEO, too. Not so for delegated workspaces.
This forces the delegation recipient to subscribe to each folder change done by the delegator or another delegation recipient.
Here is an appropriate enhancement request for this:
9210325: DISPLAY ADDITIONAL FOLDERS IN WORKSPACES OF OTHER USERS
This feature has been rejected on the grounds of performance and server scalability, but why then treat team workspaces differently?
Please second this ER through MOS if you agree that delegated folders structure should be updated automatically.
Thanks, Tom

The advent of July 2013 brings me to remember my
Beehive enhancement of the day - July 2012 wrap up
Current users of beehive should not loosen the reins, and demand further enhancements from Oracle.
So please go back to my post and check if some of the enhancements might also benefit your installation,
leave a reply (or a "like" in the new forum), and submit an enhancement request to Oracle support.
Cheers, Tom

Beehive enhancement of the day: furthering the Zimbra Web Client

With the decision to leverage Zimbra as Web frontend for its collab server, Oracle has surely provided a powerful web client to all of its Beehive customers.
To my knowledgs, product management has no current plans to further enhance the web client, nor to deploy future versions of Zimbra on top of Beehive.
There are quite a few enhancement requests pending for Zimbra. Here are my favourite ones:
ER 12570523: NEED OPTION TO SELECT TEAM WORKSPACE CONTACTS FROM NEW EMAIL COMPOSE WINDOW
ER 8817293: UNABLE TO MOVE A PERSONAL WORKSPACE FOLDER INTO A TEAM WORKSPACE LINK IN ZIMBRA
ER 10634736: SUPPORT FOR MOVING FOLDERS BETWEEN PERSONAL WORKSPACE AND TEAM WORKSPACE
ER 9901377: ZIMBRA SEARCH IN LINKED FOLDER IS NEEDED AS SUPPORTED FEATURE
ER 11890869: SUPPORT OF ZIMBRA MOBILE WEB CLIENT
If you agree that Oracle should revise its decision not to further develop the Zimbra web client, please second these enhancement requests through Oracle support.
Thanks, Tom

yesterday I used Beehive Zimbra with Android mobile for the 1st time (our policy does not allow external IMAP),
and I was brought back to the impression that Beehive would definitely benefit from the implementation of
ER 11890869: SUPPORT OF ZIMBRA MOBILE WEB CLIENT
Even with Quarter HD (960, ×, 540) resolution you cannot properly operate the classic Zimbra web client without getting crazy!
Please, all: do consider seconding this ER in MOS!

Beehive enhancement for tomorrow: re-add the OBEO sub folder sharing option

OK, I inadvertently posted a comment meant for an enhancement to be posted tomorrow, so here we go with tomorrows enhancement of the day:
Talking once more about delegation... There's quite a big fly in the ointment we need to talk about:
While delegation granting dialogues in OBEO and bcentral take care of permissions for default folders like inbox, sent items, drafts etc. and pseudo folders like calendar or contacts, it does not so for non-default folders.
We have the case of a superior that has a widely ramified folder structure and granted his secretary access to parts of it. When the secretary changed he changed delegation, and this did not change the non-default acls.
So far nothing unspectacular. The issue is, that there is no option in OBEO to define permissions tree-wise (nor is there in beectl), so the superior had to walk the whole directory hierarchy to adapt the permissions, each folder requiring multiple clicks.
There was a permissions dialogue for that in OBEO 1.5, but has been dropped.
There is an enhancement request I'd ask you to second through MOS:
10065126: READD THE SUB FOLDER SHARING OPTION TO OBEO
This ER had the status approved for future release, but product management changed its plans and put it to "Suggestion Rejected".
a related ER is the following:
12557969: OBEO PERMISSIONS DIALOGUE SHOULD HAVE A TREE OPTION
"The Beehive platform is designed from the ground up to be easy to manage." (cited from "Oracle Beehive: A Flexible Collaboration Platform for the Enterprise") - let's hope product management will give us tree perms management, at least in OBEO.
Thanks, Tom

As currently product management does not seem to be considering
readding the desired dialogue (nor a tree switch for beectl perms
related commands) lets look at our workaround.
Lets look at it in an example: user user_a has set up a delegation to
user_b, allowing access to his inbox.
If you have set this up (using OBEO or BCentral as alternatives) a new
Principal Record has emanated, that you can list with "beectl
list_users":
bhowner@bhhost:~> beectl list_users email addr@mydomain show more
Display Record: 1
===========================================
User Identifier: user=user_a
Family Name: user_a

Now we need to generated similar ACLs for all subfolders of
exampl-fldr, which, being a non-default folder, did not receive any
ACL:
So let's connect to BEE_DATA on the BEEDB, preferrable through SQLDeveloper, and run
SELECT 'beectl add_local_ace --entity "'
||trim(TO_CHAR(c.enterprise_id,'0XXX'))
||':'
||trim(TO_CHAR(c.site_id,'0XXX'))

||c.container_type

||'" --accessor "pcpd=145F:5618:user:9B37CFDA0D624736B413FEF81573597400000000000E -> 145F:5618:user:D55B885774B6457AA0489F596D7DF873000000000000,user=user_a" --access_types "+RWDO"'
-- , f.name,
-- , c.path
FROM bee_data.ws_real_folders f,
bee_data.ocs_containers c
WHERE f.eid=c.eid
AND c.path LIKE '/dla/user_a''s Personal Workspace/exampl-fldr%'
AND c.container_type='afrh'
This will generate the beectl commands necessary to work around the
missing switch. You need to run those commands afterwards.
Of course this is not supported, but your only alternative is
right-clicking all of the subfolders of exampl-fldr and grant the new
user access manually.
I would be happy if Oracle would enhance this are of user and rights
management of beehive.

If you'd like to add it, the following works with feh:
# Uncomment ONE of the following for use with feh:
#feh --bg-tile "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
#feh --bg-center "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
#feh --bg-scale "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
#feh --bg-seamless "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
Also, line 26 should read rm -rf ${APODWALLPAPER} as ${APODWALLPAPER} is a dir, and most users would (probably) want to avoid confirming the removal of it every time.
I also get this error, even though everything seems to work:
./apodwallpaper.sh: line 15: jot: command not found
./apodwallpaper.sh: line 16: jot: command not found
./apodwallpaper.sh: line 17: jot: command not found
Jot isn't in the repos or AUR, is there an alternative?

How do I display more than one month calendar in the day-view?

iCal has always had a nice feature that allowed me to display little, what I call, mini-month calendars while in the day-view. This allowed me to quickly jump to a day two or three (or more) months ahead (or behind) to check appointments on that day or set an appointment, without switching out of the day-view.
The mini-month was a small clickable calendar that looked something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
There was also a forward and backward arrow box [ < ][ > ] that allowed me to quickly scroll to the mini-month to find the day I wanted to click into. And, if I wanted to give it more room by adjusting the frame, I could display up to three months at a time within my day view.
Since upgrading iCal to 5.0 with the Lion upgrade, I can no longer display more than the current mini-month calendar on the day view.
This is REALLY inconvenient. Now, there is no way (that I know of) for me to stay in the day view and be able to jump ahead to a specific day two or three months out, or even to a day in the NEXT month without either going to the year view (a big waste of time) or click on the last day of the current month and then clicking the ">" day arrow to get to the next day which then shows that month's mini-calendar.
How do I display more than the current month's mini-month calendar in the day view on Lion?

Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display so that the current day always shows on top?

Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display
so that the current day always shows on top? ie, I want to always be able to see what's in the future 3-4 weeks, not what's in the past 3-4 weeks. The default monthly display is archaic--only allows you to see through the last day of the month. Suddenly today
is Oct. 30th, and I have a ton of projects lined up in November, but because I haven't been scrolling down every day, I haven't been aware of them every day. I realize there are other tools in Microsoft to help me stay on task, such as reminders and such,
but it would be helpful if I could always have the current day display on top of the monthly view so I can quickly scan what's coming up in the next few weeks.

Thank you!
Right, I already have it in Month view. My question is a little more specific--I'd like for the current day to always display at the top. For example, today is Oct. 31st, so the current day is at the bottom of the calendar since it is the last day of the month.
I can view everything in October that I've already completed. What I can't see are the future weeks because we haven't hit November yet. I'd like for the current day to always display at the top of my calendar so I can always see what's coming in the following
three - four weeks (whether they're a part of that month or not). I've been to other forums trying to find the answer, and have come across the same exact question from frustrated users--but there seemed to be no solution. So I'm posing the question myself
in this forum. Do you know if this is possible? What I found from other forums is that Outlook defaults to a physical 'desk' type calendar format--so just as I'd use a paper calendar at my desk, I wouldn't be able to see the following weeks unless I either
flip the page to that month or I come to the first day of the next month, thereby tearing the the old month off and now only able to see the current month. That format is just so...paper...and archaic! Essentially I want the calendars to loop so it doesn't
even really matter what month it is--I just always want to see what lies ahead without having to scroll down. With our being in the Technology Age, I'd assume this is a logical expectation, but we may be stuck with the replica version of the paper-desk-calendar
format until Outlook programmers add this Technology Age feature in newer versions.
See, this month kind of messed me up because I have so many projects for November that start tomorrow and next week, but I haven't seen them until this week. I would have been better quipped--at least expecting them--had I been able to see all of those projects
since last week or the week prior.
If there is no solution to this answer, would you know how I can contact Outlook to provide feedback? I'm guessing a newer version is on its way...
Thanks again in advance!

Calendar can the day's number be displayed?

A day is displayed with the usual information - the day of the week and the date, and month.
Is it possible to have the number of the day as it relates to the entire year displayed? For example - October 30, 2013 is day 303/365.
Is this feature available in iCal.
Thx

I am not aware of this being a built in feature of iCal, nor is/was week numbers. I suggest trying an internet search for a download which gives you the functionality you need.

Using a checkbox in numbers- if,then, I want to display today's date if checked, and keep that date, the day it was checked, not the current day

Using a checkbox in numbers- if,then, I want to display today's date if checked, and keep that date, the day it was checked, not the current day

this will not work. Numbers does not provide a timestamp. you can, however, enter the formula "=now()" in any cell, then copy that same cell, then paste (using the command "Edit > Paste Formula Results"
If you need a time stamp often,
make a single cell table with the formula (mentioned earlier).
and copy and paste as needed

I would like to add content that changes on a calendar basis, such as 'thought for the day". It can then display a different text or image on a nominated day. Can this be done? Robert.

OK Thanks Brad.
I could use Tockify of course, but wanted to create the same things on an existing site.
I do not know how to copy the code and get it onto Muse, but that’s OK for now. I will work something else out.

Display Randon Quote of the Day to the Agent (abap)

Hi,
I was trying to create a function that displays a random "quote of the day" to the CIC Agent and i need some help. this is my abap code so far:
DATA quote1 TYPE string.
DATA quote2 TYPE string.
DATA sentence TYPE string.
DATA random TYPE i.
quote1 = 'my quote of the day 1'.
quote2 = 'my quote of the day 2'.
CALL FUNCTION 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER'
      EXPORTING
           ran_int_max = 2
           ran_int_min = 1
      IMPORTING
           ran_int = random.
concatenate 'quote' random into sentence.
value = sentence.
ENDFUNCTION.
My problem is that the "value" variable outputs "quote1" (or "quote2", that the sentence variable contains), although I wanted it to output the text that corresponds to quote1 or quote2 (eg. "my quote of the day 1")
Any help?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem, I expirienced it today the first time, but I actually do not use the list view often. In the list view, I'm missing quite a lot of events, I first thought it went something wrong with exchange sync and tried around about an hour till I found out, that all events are basically on the phone and also shown in day and month view, but not in the list view.
There seem to be a general problem with the list view, as I found this discussion:

What defines the No. of days history displayed in the Account Overview?.

At present we only have 30 days of history being displayed within the Account overview views whereas we would like to see/display more. Is this possible?.
Jason

As far as I know -> this is customizing.
Have a look at:
Specify Display Options for Business Transactions
In this activity you establish for which period the business transactions in applications such as Accounts and Contacts should be displayed.
You can create settings for the following:
u2022     Interaction History
u2022     Activities
u2022     Opportunities
u2022     Quotations
u2022     Sales Agreements
u2022     Sales Orders
u2022     Leads
In this way you can display the business transactions within different periods, for example, all activities for the previous or the following week.
In the case of the interaction history, the period refers to the posting date, in the case of activities to the start and end date, and in the case of opportunities to the start and closing date.
You can make the settings in such a way that they are specific to certain business roles, or valid across different roles. They are always valid for all applications (for example, Accounts and Contacts).
Activities
1. Choose New Entries and use the input help to enter the necessary data for the area and period.
2. Save the data.
Note
If you select Last month as the period, all the business transactions from the last calendar month are displayed, and not the transactions of the last month from the current date.
This means that if you have selected Last month as the period, and display the transactions in the system in the month of May, the transactions from the month of April are shown

How to display the day of the week?

I can use the TODAY() function to display today's date, and I can format the cell with inspector to manipulate how to show the date, but how can I show only what the DAY of the week it currently is?

The problem with these two responses is that they are language dependant.
It would be useful to add a WEKDAYNAME() function which will return names according to the language in use.
Here is a workaround:
=LEFT(B,SEARCH(" ",B)-1)
It just assumes that B contains a date with dayname at the beginning.
