Calling User Preference event from within portlet

Not sure if anybody else has looked at this but we are in the process of rolling out a new G6 Portal and on a number of portlets want to take advantage of the ability to turn off the portlet header. However in doing so you loose access to the inbuilt support for providing access to the User Preference, if one has been defined as part of the portlet definition. This is relevant on a number of portelts that we want to migrate to the new G6 portal.
So rather than try and re-invent this from scratch using a different 'link' in the portlet itself we were wondering if you can 'call' the inbuilt user preference functionality from within the portlet code. i.e. When a user clicks on the link within the portlet it performs exactly the same action and interaction within the portal as if they clicked on the User Preference icon in the portlet header.
We have had a look around to see if this is possible but not come up with anything yet so thought we would seek comments from this forum.
Many thanks in advance,

Hey Ross,
I just realized I have to do the same thing on a very limited scale (3-5 portlets).
SO I just wrote a little bit of (shoddy) code to show community preferences based on group membership.
It works for me, but I get the feeling your looking for something like communityactionsdata geared toward portlets, which unfortunately I dont think exists. If you put it in as an enhancement request then support will contact you to discuss your options.
Here is the code that I'm using for now:
<pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.when pt:test="stringToACLGroup('group=1,755,760;').isMember($currentuser)">
<immg border="0" src="htttp://localhost/imageserver/plumtree/portal/public/img/action_portlet_edit.gif">
</pt:standard.when>
</pt:standard.choose>
The only problem is that the preferences submit button refreshes the popup to the portal. So I might need to tweak that a hair so it just closes the popup.
edited to prevent the forum from trying to use the code I provided

Calling a concurrent request from within the trigger

Oracle apps r12.
Calling a concurrent request from within the trigger.
Does it requre apps initilization.
Thanks,
Lavan

Hi,
Whether apps initialization needed or not will depend on followings
1. Trigger is written on which table seeded or custom. In case of seeded tables, there is no need for apps initialization (although oracle does not recommend writing trigger on seeded tables).
2. Triggering Table Update/Insert/Delete event processing is done from apps front end or Backend. In case of front end apps initialization is not required.

Raise event from within process chain

Is there some way to easily raise an event from within a process chain? The only way I know to do this is to run an ABAP program that raises the event.

Hi Shashank,
sorry for the delay: I didn't notice your question. Try this way.
1 - define ABAP Report Z_EVENT_RAISER (see sample code below)
2 - define a variant for this Report (Event Name mandatory)
3 - Call ABAP Report Z_EVENT_RAISER from within your Proces Chain.
This should work
Hope it helps

How can I call a LabVIEW executable from within another LabVIEW executable?

I have a customer requirement for two LabVIEW executables. Based on their current setup, they need to run executable "A" or "B", both of which are under independent revision control. I have created a third "selection" executable that allows the operator to choose between one of the two, but I am receiving errors when I attempt to call a LabVIEW executable from within a LabVIEW executable using either the "System exec" VI or the "Run Application" VI. If I call a non-LabVIEW executable (such as Windows Explorer) everything works fine.

As with the other poster, I suspect a path problem. You might try the
path out in a shell window, and if it works, copy the complete absolute
path to LV to see if that works. LV is basically passing the comma
nd to
the OS and doesn't even know what is in it, so you should be able to get
it to work.
The other poster commented on subpanels, which is a good suggestion, but
without going to LV7, an EXE can have open more than one VI. You can
use the VI Server and the Run method to fire up another top-level VI.
The decision is whether you want both to be in unique processes.

How to call a set method from within a constructor

Hello,
I want to be able to call a set method from within a Scanner, to be used as the argument to pass to the Scanner (from a source file). Here's what i tried:
private void openFiles()
        input = new Scanner( setSource );
    and here is the set method:
public String setSource( String in )
        source = in;
        return source;
    }obviously there will be more code in this method but i'm trying to tackle one problem at a time. Thanks in advance..

The "String in" declaration says: "Nobody may ever invoke setSource() without specifying a certain String. The content of the String is known at run-time only."
In no place in your code you say the compiler: "I want the 'in' variable (actually, parameter) of method setSource() to contain the first arg which is passed to the application".
This is exactly the same mechanism allowing you to write "new Scanner" with something inside the two parentheses.

Call a Web Service from within an e-Sourcing script

Hi Guys
I would like to know wether anyone has successfully been able to call a Web Service from within an
e-Sourcing script? If you have, can you please share your experience and code?
Thank You

Hi Faaiez -
As with any use of Web Services, however, you should carefully consider the security issues that may come up. How, for example, will the Web Service server validate that the Web Service client (E-Sourcing) is properly authenticated? Will password information be included in the web service call? You will find that it is very easy to make a web service call, but I would encourage you to carefully consider security before implementing a productive solution.
Web service calls can be made using raw Java web service APIs from the open source Axis library which is included with E-Sourcing; this approach is slightly more difficult to code, but very dynamic. Web service calls can also be made using proxies. In one solution that I worked on, we generated java proxies for the web service, compiled those proxies into a Jar file, and included that jar file as a custom jar in E-Sourcing. Let me provide a few more details on each of these approaches.
Using raw java web service APIs that are part of the Service and Call classes, I prototyped a web service call to Googles sample spell checker web service. Here is the code:
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType;
import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
String endpoint = "http://api.google.com/search/beta2";
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
call.setOperationName( "doSpellingSuggestion" );
call.setOperationName(new QName("urn:GoogleSearch", "doSpellingSuggestion"));
call.addParameter("key", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
call.addParameter("phrase", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );
String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "googlekey", doc.getDocumentDescription()} );
doc.setDocumentDescription(ret);
This block of code does a very simple thing...it calls the Google "doSpellingSuggestions" web service with two parameters: a key provided by Google, and a string for which the spelling suggestions should be generated. I used the current document description as my sample string for the web service and I put the results back into the document description - remember, this is just showing how you can call the web service, not doing anything really intelligent or useful from a business perspective
There is nothing special to E-Sourcing about the above code...this is really just using the Axis java classes to call a web service.
The second approach that can be used is to generate Java proxies for the web service calls. The open source Axis library includes a tool called "wsdl2java". Using the WSDL for the web service, you can generate Java proxies. Java classes will be generated by the tool; these Java classes will then need to be compiled and included in E-Sourcing as a custom jar. Once they are part of the E-Sourcing deployment, they can be called like any Java API. If you were to examine the generated code, you would notice that it looks a lot like the raw web service code shown above...the generated classes really just provide a simpler interface to the same functionality.
You can see this information and other E-Sourcing information at my blog at: http://www.sunshinesys.com/

Calling a Portal Service from within a Web Dynpro DC

Hello,
I am trying to call a Portal Service from within a Web Dynpro development component without sucess.
Can anyone give me some hints on the necessary steps in order to accomplish this task?
Thanks
Diz

Hi Diz,
I tried doing the same thing by following the steps as mentioned by you. Just to re iterate,
1. Created a DC "Portal Application Standalone" project by the name myservice.
2. Created a portal service inside myservice by the ame AmitsService.
3. Exposed IAmitsService.class in the public part.
4 Build and deployed the DC on server and tested it through an abstract portal component and it worked FINE !!
Now..
5. Created anoter DC of type WebDynPro
6. Added SAP_JTECHS -> epbc.prtapi._api as a "Used DC" with dependency build time and runtime
7. Specified the sharing reference in the properties as PORTAL:sap.com/myservice
8. Tried to reference the service using the following code..
IAmitsService portalservice=(IAmitsService)WDPortalUtils.getServiceReference(IAmitsService.KEY);
9.Build and deployed the DC.
10. When I run the application I am getting the following error
Processing HTTP request to servlet [dispatcher] finished with error.
The error is: com.sap.engine.frame.core.load.SAPNoClassDefFoundError: com/sapportals/portal/prt/service/IService
Exception id: [000D6008418B005C0000002C00000D200004163CE6719E1D]

How to call a Oracle Form from within the APEX

Hi,
I have a requirment where need to call a oracle form from within the Oracle APEX application?
I will appriciate if can someone help me out.
Thanks

Hi,
are you working with Forms 6i or 10g?
If you want to call a forms 10g page. Just use a button with javascript:
- Target type: URL
- URL Target: javascript:window.open ('http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<conf>','Forms window');
With Forms 6i you can open the directory where your forms file is inside (works just with IE):
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnc_window() {w = open('C:\\FormsFiles', "winLov","scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
</script>Or execute the forms file with vbscript (IE only):
<script language = "vbscript">
sub fnc_forms()
dim progName
progName = "c:\FormsFiles\myForm.exe"
set oShell = createobject("wscript.shell") 'create a shell
'***use the line below to call your app, defined above with the "progName" variable:
oShell.run(progName)
end sub
</script>

Need help to call a simple function from within another function?

I created a movieclip which has a function in its one and only frame.
function testx() {
x = x+2};
This movieclip is in the main timeline (in its own layer).
In another layer on the timeline I have created a single keyframe with a button instance called myBtn
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
var x
x =2
testx(2);
trace (x);
What I want to do is call the function in the movieclip frame from the button press function. However, I can't seem to reference it properly.
Can anyone help me to basically call a simple function from within another function?

Yes am using CS4. Have saved it as CS3 now. Ok the file is somewhat complicated and what I am testing is not what I ultimately want to do but if I can pass that variable I can figure it out. In terms of describing the file I think the only parts of importance are what I put in my previous post (please let me know if there is something I should be telling you that I have missed). I am 99.9% sure that I am using the correct instance name.
Scene1 Layer3 Frame1 has the function call for the button.
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
var x
x = 2
testx(2);
trace (x);
Slideshow layer //Actions Frame1 has the function
function testx(x) {
x = x+2};
thank you so much for helping me.

Store user preferences accessible from view layer and ADF BC

Hi
I'm working with JDeveloper 11.1.2.1
We have an application with an application-level shared application module which contains VOs with bind variables to generate language dependent LOVs. From these VOs have to access the language.
We want to store user language and other user preferences in the future and these can be accessed by the view layer and ADF BC.
In addition, we want that application will be passivation safe and works properly in a cluster environment.
At first we opted to save the language in the HTTP session, but we access it from ADF BC ... and we would not want to break the MVC pattern. This article
Andrejus Baranovskis's Blog: Bad Practice for Session Scope Access in ADF BC
says that the MVC pattern only breaks when our application module can not be executed without the UI. We differentiate when run individually and when run as a logged in user to avoid this rupture. ¿Is this acceptable solution?
Otherwise, what is the best option to preserve the MVC pattern and also the passivation does not affect the proper execution of the application and not cause problems in the cluster (HTTP sessions are replicated, but the rest?)
I have seen that there are 2 more possible methods :
- Transient View Object
- User data map
The user data map discussed in this article seems an option,
Andrejus Baranovskis's Blog: Solution for Sharing Global User Data in ADF BC
but perhaps complicates the development and I don't know if shared application module would work properly. For example, we need the language of the user in the application-level shared application module VOs, but the user data map is available only in the session of the root application module no? If we have a method that gets the language within the shared application module, ¿when the method getSession.getUserData() execute, it will access the user data in the root application module or return null?
If you could tell us if we are correct using the HTTP session or else it is better that we use the user data map, it would be a great help.
Thanks

Hi,
this sounds like something that belongs in your Application Module. I would create a client method which would do your LDAP checks before calling your view object to create a new row. Have the client method return the result based on the success of your LDAP search.
Call this AM client method from the backing bean of the JSP and return a page flow based on the outcome of your client method.
The actual transaction with the database happens in your doDML method of the Entity Object (override the doDML method). But I would still implement this business logic in the AM.

Brenden

Call RFC enabled function from within VBA in BI 7.0

Hello Experts,
the problem that we have should be general, i have found some postings on this forum concerning it, but unfortunately no proper solutiont.
I just want to have the possibility to call the rfc enabled function module from within the callback function in VBA after executing of some query.
I have seen the suggestion to build a new RFC connection in VBA, but therefore you should hard-code all connection parameters (including user + password)
in the VBA code, this solution is for us not acceptable due to the security reasons.
Is there some way to use the existing connection of BEx Analyser in order to execute the function calls?
This functionality was possible in 3.5 but not in 7.0 since many functions that were available in 3.5 are not supported now.
Do you have experience/suggestions for this problem?
Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Kirill

I've got the same problem. Did you find the solution?
Thank you,

Call pl/sql API from jsp portlets

thx
Alizeh

Hi
thanks for ur reply but where were u a month ago,i really started to think that my question was enough stupid not to be answered.At present i have done with jdbc and pl/sql calls ,current concern is for sessions as i see that session id remains same when one user logs out and another logs in(if browser is not closed), same sessionid persists in my java portlet for both users.Is this an expected behaviour?? but yes new session id appears if browser is closed.
.session clear for both application and sso after logout is checked
.broser is set to check for new version each visit for the page
portal version is 3.0.9.8.0 ,we r planning patch to 3.0.9.8.3 soon
once again thx
