Can we do customization using db based MDS where ADF security not enabled?

JDeveloper 11.1.1.6 : ADF BC + ADF Faces
Requirement : I want to customize the application across the user session. In this app I have NOT used ADF security. There is siteminder security setup on the server which authenticates the application. The logged in userid/username is available in the request header.
Now my question is can i customize this app using db based MDS?
Any help will be appreciated.

Abhijit,
My first instinct was to say "of course you must enable ADF Security" and post a link to the docs. However, the docs are silent on this.
The best quote that I can give you is from [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_18/jdtut_11r2_18.html]here, which says (in step 12):
Before you can persist user customizations across sessions using MDS as the repository, you must configure ADF Security and create users for the application.John

  • HT201415 My iphone has the 3G sign at the top but it if I go on the Internet (using 3G) it says that I'm not enabled to use cellular data? Is there anyway I can fix this! ASAP ! Thanks x

    Yesterday I changed my password for my iphone 4 and forgot it so I had to reset setting in iTunes but now my iphone thinks it is my ipod and although the 3G sin is showing, whenever I try to use 3G, it comes up with "cellular data is not enabled on this device" not sure what to do? Hope someone can help me! Thanks so much!! Xx

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if that will work. You say it thinks it is your iPod, did you restore the phone to a backup from the iPod? The reset should work.

  • Can airport express be used to extend a network that does not use an apple airport as the primary base station.

    I have a verizon fios cable modem that incorporates a wireless base station using 802.11n and wep 40 bit security.  I decided that I could improve poor reception by using two airport expresses as range extenders.  I cannot seem to configure them for this function.  When I do a manual setup and choose extend a network, I get a message that says the network cannot be extended.  I have been able to join the network, and I think they would work as clients, but I'm trying to use them in as additonal base stations to extend my network.
    The primary base station, and the two airport express units are all within range of each other.
    Now that I have the two units (purchased on sale from Apple this past week), the directions in the manual only include instructions for using them as network extenders with a primary basestation that is Apple?  Is this the case?

    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your non-AirPort router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    Your only option would be to connect the AX to the Verizon-provided gateway by Ethernet or use Powerline adapters to create a pseudo Ethernet connection between them. A wireless-only connection will not work.

  • Can time capsule be used to store files for future retrievel (not backup but storage)?

    My MacBook Air is full and would love to store the currently unecessary files in the time capsue for future retrievel. Is this posible and will it be a practical solution? The nature of the files is mostly photos and documents. Will the time capsule hard drive appear as a reguler file from which I can reitrieve any stored file wtihout orignally having it on the Macbook? Thanks a lot.

    What Niel is saying is that if you move "original" files from your Mac to the Time Capsule, the "originals" are now on the Time Capsule.......and you have no backups for those files when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem.

  • How to access Oracle Using Dos Based FoxPro(2.5,2.6)

    Hello Sir,
    I need some clarification regarding the following question.
    Q. How can access Oracle Database using Dos Based Foxpro of version either 2.5 or 2.6
    Thanking you,
    Kishore.P

    Hi Alex,
    the host and port depends on your network setup of your VM.
    Do an ifconfig -a and see what IP adress your guest has.
    With this IP address you should be able to access EM from outside your VM (but on the VM host, not from outside the network) with the same port.
    Regards

  • If CASE Statement can be used just nest to 'WHERE' keyword in sql?

    HI All,
    There are 2 tables,
     dbo.headcount_smart_view & dbo.headcount_user_view,they
    are not joined i.e. there is no join between these 2 tables.
     User is trying to create the access restriction on table
    dbo.headcount_smart_view as below,
    The following case clause is just next to 'WHERE' keyword :
    CASE select distinct dbo.headcount_user_view.role_cd from
    dbo.headcount_user_view where UPPER(dbo.headcount_user_view.cmt_id) = UPPER(@Variable('BOUSER'))
    WHEN 8 THEN dbo.headcount_smart_view.l3_id In (select distinct
    dbo.headcount_user_view.divid from dbo.headcount_user_view
    where UPPER(dbo.headcount_user_view.cmt_id)=UPPER(@Variable('BOUSER')))
    WHEN 9 THEN dbo.headcount_smart_view.l4_id In (select distinct
    dbo.headcount_user_view.divid from dbo.headcount_user_view
    where UPPER(dbo.headcount_user_view.cmt_id)=UPPER(@Variable('BOUSER')))
    ELSE
    dbo.headcount_smart_view.l2_id In (select distinct
    dbo.headcount_user_view.divid from dbo.headcount_user_view
    where UPPER(dbo.headcount_user_view.cmt_id)=UPPER(@Variable('BOUSER')))
    END
    The user is getting 'syntax error', it seems that the value is not getting compared with any column hence getting the error.
    can case statment  be used just next to 'WHERE' keyword in sql? 

    I don't have the entire table query...
    but could u tell me wil the sql given below work ....
    if not, why? and what can be done to make it work ?
    SELECT * FROM Customers 
    where case select  CustomerID from customers 
    when 8 then 'Spock'
    when 9 then 'Yedi'
    else 'Jedi'
    end;
    Nope
    because of wrong syntax
    What the purpose of the case when statement here? I'm not seeing a condition in WHERE. You should use it in a condition like below
    SELECT * FROM Customers
    where case CustomerID
    when 8 then 'Spock'
    when 9 then 'Yedi'
    else 'Jedi'
    end = @SomeParameter

    Hi,
    Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
    Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-)  I am now one very happy lady.
    I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
    Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!

  • ADF customization using MDS

    I have a few questions about ADF customization using MDS...
    1) Is it intended that this functionality will be part of the ADF Rich Faces Apache donation or is it going to be something licensed by Oracle?
    2) The old (or not so old) EBusiness OAF framework had lots of customization/personalisation stuff i.e. where you could add fields, remove fields, change table column orders and add a column via the browser. Is MDS functionally similar?
    3) Will using ADF customization mean that I have to use ADF Business Components.
    4) How many different data store options are there i.e. can the meta data be persisted to different types of database such as MySQL or SQLServer (sorry, my company needs to be database agnostic) or even the file system.
    Thanks,
    Peter.

    Hi,
    1) I haven't heard of a plan like that. MDS has nothing to do with ADF Faces directly and is a different set of technology.
    2) MDS is supposed to replace that, yes
    3) No.
    4) No idea about that.

  • On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

    On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
    I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
    Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
    My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
    And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
    Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

    I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
    After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
    For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

  • How can I video chat with someone who uses web based yahoo?

    Not long ago I purchased my first Mac (New MacBook Pro 2.53GHZ); last Summer I also purchased a MacBook Pro for my daughter. Everything works great (like driving a formula one Porsche after grappling with a battered pick-up truck (meaning Windows) for many decades; cannot imagine ever going back. But, there is one issue that I have not been able to solve and for which I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice. I am familiar with ichat and with AIM (my daughter uses it all the time). However, the vast majority of people with whom I communicate via IM live in parts of the world where very few people have even a computer at home much less residential internet access. As a result, near all of the folks I would be chatting with have to use public computers (internet cafes, libraries, etc) and obviously they cannot install AIM or anything else on those public computers. About 90% of them use the web based yahoo messenger which can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection (most of the rest use MSN). My question is this: I know how to do video chat in ichat but ichat does not support yahoo. How can I do video chat with someone who is using web based yahoo on a public computer that has a USB web cam? I was able to do this on my old PC which had a plug in web cam but do not know how it might work on a Mac. Should I install yahoo messenger on my MacBook Pro and will that work for me?. I know about some other Mac compatible chat clients such as Admiun but as far as I can tell none of them support video chat or in some cases yahoo. Perhaps I am overlooking something. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice in this matter. Thanks to anyone who reads this post and has any helpful info.

    Zurich,
    I don't think the web-based Yahoo Messenger supports video, so nothing you can do with that.

    I think there are Mac compatible MSN clients that will do video, (i.e. aMSN) Also, Microsoft plans on releasing an updated version of Messenger for Mac soon.

    GoogleTalk does have a browser based video chat, but your friends would need to install a browser plug-in. (which I would assume that can't do either)
    The best option is Skype, but also requires an install on their end (I would think that the internet cafes would/should have this available)
    Good Luck,

  • How can I know the database is using Cost Based or Rule Based?

    Hi all expertise,
    How can I know the database is using Cost Based or Rule Based?
    If cost based it is using, what methods are need to use to minimize the cost when database is running? And which tables I can see the performance of the database?
    Thanks
    Amy

    how to see database setting ?
    use this
    SQL> sho parameter optimizer
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    optimizer_dynamic_sampling integer 1
    optimizer_features_enable string 9.2.0
    optimizer_index_caching integer 0
    optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 100
    optimizer_max_permutations integer 2000
    optimizer_mode string CHOOSE
    choose means if table statistics is available then it will use cost
    else
    use rule based optimizer
    for seeing performnace of table use
    set autotrace on
    and run your query
    if it doen't show cost.it means it use rule based
    for using cost based
    u will calculate table statistics
    9i
    dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('owner','table');
    8i
    analyze table <table_name> compute statistics;
    hope it will help you
