Change in Default Workbook Behavior with NW04s

We are upgrading from BW 3.x to BI. We use BEx workbooks exclusively. With 3.x, our query designers would create/edit a query through BEx Analyzer and the results would be shown in a workbook taken from the default workbook template. If the query needed further editing, it could be edited and the new results shown in the same workbook. This is what we are comfortable doing.
With 04s, if I run Query designer from within BEx analyzer, the created/edited query is not automatically "inserted" in the default workbook. I understand that I can add an analysis grid and define the query as a data provider, but this has to be done EVERY time the query is edited. I've added an analysis grid to the default workbook, but still the query has to be defined as a data provider every time it is edited.
Is this a problem for any one else? Do I just have to live with defining the data provider over and over again? How is it that if I use the SAP Standard as the default workbook, when I open a query, I don't need to define the query as a data provider?

Thank you for the reply. However, if I have an analysis grid in the default workbook, and I select Open Query, it doesn't automatically set up the selected query as the data provider. I have to go in and create a data provider. At that point, I can pick any query.
I can't set up a data provider in the default workbook, because each time I open a different query, the data provider will have to change.
If I use the SAP default workbook and select Open Query, it associates the selected query with the data provider automatically. I'd like the same kind of behavior, but with my default workbook.

I want to change my default MX record with another one. How do I do that?

If you want to change the default domain for mail you will need to remove all the MX Records (first the non-default ones then the default one) and then add the one you want to make default, first. Note, once the default MX Record will be removed all the mailboxes created on the site will be deleted and there is no way to retrieve those emails once they are hard deleted, so you should back-up your mail before performing this change.

How do I change the "Default Directory" associated with my subscription?

I was recently added as an administrator for a client's Azure subscription. This has caused his account AD to be the default directory I see when I log in. So every time I log in I have to open the Subscriptions menu and change the FILTER BY
DIRECTORY option. How can I make my own directory the default directory when I log in?
Note: there was an almost identical question back in Dec 2013 and the solution was to have the other user remove you as an administrator. The marked answer suggested the questioner read some arcane description of Azure subscriptions and Active Directory.
I need to remain an admin for the other account and the referenced document had nothing useful to say about my problem.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

Since I installed IOS 6.0.1, pushing my home key (slowly) no longer goes from the current home page (press once) to the first home page (press twice) to search (press three times.) Is this a bug or a feature? Can I return to the previous behavior?

I have not noticed that and I have not seen any other posts here with that problem. Maybe your Home button is sticking

Default Workbook Template

Hello Friends
Can anyone please tell me how we can create the Default Workbook Template in the NW04s

You can't have an empty workbook as a default workbook template. Your template must have your dataprovider (analysis grid) as a minimum.
You can do this with your own query as well. Build your workbook and make sure your dataprovider name is the same as the SAP default dataprovider name. Then when you open a query, it will replace the query assigned to the dataprovider in your workbook template with the query you are opening in the BEx Analyzer.

Restrict "Select default workbook"

Hi experts,
I would like to restrict default workbook setting with authorization.
Is it possible to do?
Because I don't want everyone to be possible to set or change this common setting.
Please give me some advice.
Thanks and best regards,
Keiko

Hi Chetan,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I also would like to have more information about FEP13 and FEP14 and the others.
Because some movements are different.
Such as...
1. After restricted role, under FEP(Front end patch)13, the situation is unstable.
Under FEP14, the role made under FEP13 does not work, and needed to make new role.
2.FEP13>If start BEx analyzer from backend, the flug was gray and could not select.But start from frontend, we could select flag.
FEP14>We can select flag under both of situation.
As these example, there are some differences under different FEP.
And I would like to catch if there is new FEP and the movement is changed again.
Thanks in advance.

Tab Bar Control and the Default "More" Behavior

I've got a client who wants an app with 8 tabs. The only problem is that they don't like the default "more" behavior with the tableviewcontroller containing the extra tab content. What they want is to hit "more" to see the next four tabs replace the first four and then to toggle back if it's hit again.
There are a few ways to do this, I guess. I could build a second viewcontroller/tabcontroller that comes on or leaves when "more" is touched. Is there a surer way of doing this? I'm sure I'm missing something basic, but I've googled my brains out on this one and just can't see it.

You could use one TabbarController with 8 ViewControllers, and rotate them when the More tab is tapped:
- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tbc shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)vc {
if (vc == tbc.moreNavigationController) {
NSMutableArray *newVCs = [[NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:8] retain];
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
[newVCs addObject:[tbc.viewControllers objectAtIndex:(i + 4) % 8]];
tbc.viewControllers = newVCs;
[newVCs release];
return NO;
} else {
return YES;

Bug in list binding editor - change to default iterator name doesn't take

JDev 10.1.3.2
Not sure anyone has reported this...
1. Drop a View Object onto my jspx as an ADF Form
2. Delete one of the inputs.
3. Drop the attribute (for the deleted input) as an adf select one choice
4. Hit the "Add..." button next to the List Data Source
5. In the Add Data Source dialog, choose the appropriate list source view object.
6. In the Iterator Name field, change the default iterator name with one of your own choosing. (Mine went from something like "MyViewObjectIterator" to something like "MyViewObjectIteratorForThisField".)
7. Hit "OK" in the Add Data Source dialog
8. The new iterator is now in the List Data Source drop down, but it did not get the new name.
Yes, one can easily work around this by editing the page def file.

Hi,
good catch. Though it can be changed in the PropertyInspector after that it means more refactoring needed than if it worked in the binding dialog. Will file it as a bug

How can I change the default color (Blue color)?

Hi,
I use JDev 11g last version
when I use decorativeBox or panelStretchLayout I use (dark - light - medium) in theme but by default it be in blue color can I change this blue color to any other color?
I don't want to use an image or change background color using css file I want bu easy way to change the theme with any color except blue.
Thank You...
Sameh Nassar

Hi John,
Thank You for your reply
I know that can be solved by using skin.
but when I use (dark - medium - light ) the appearance change without using skins.
I ask is there any way to change the default color (blue) with any other color.
- It means when I write a dark in decorativeBox theme I found the decorativeBox in red color (or any other color) instead of blue color.
- Where can I find the place which say the blue is the default color?
Thank You..

How to change default application associated with some mime types?

When we install some new program, for example GIMP, I assume the newly installed program is added to some mime type database, and the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file is automatically generated.
Using my example, GIMP will be the default application for all its registered mime types, even application/pdf. I surely don't want this to happen, and I surely don't want to create all kinds of files that GIMP registered and right click on them and choose Properties and then change it in the Open with... tab. I want to systematically de-prioritize GIMP so that it will not override my previously assigned default applications.
I wrote a script to modify the mimeinfo.cache file, and it seems to work great. However, after a reboot or upgrade or something I didn't notice, the default application of application/pdf is reconfigured to GIMP. I think the cache suffix of the file indicates that it is just a cache and may be changed by system unnoticed. So I am looking for a new way to change the default applications.
As far as I know or guess from the phenomena, there should be some system utility that generates the mimeinfo.cache file, it seems to parse all the *.desktop files under /usr/share/applications and register them to certain mime types accordingly. The sequence of the *.desktop files get parsed seems to be related to the time the application is installed, and the newly installed applications seems to be parsed later and inserted in the front of the application list or be parsed earlier and appended to the application list. Is there some place I can change the sequence of the parsing? Or is there some place I can change the behavior of the system utility?
I know that I can populate my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list to override the system wide defaults, however, I want a more elegant way to this.
Any opinion on this is welcomed.

Ah, right. Don't know what DE you are on, but in Gnome: right-click a (e.g. pdf) file -> Preferences -> Open with.
All Applications listed there will be available from the right click menu, the marked one will be used on double-click.
errgrh...

I guess what I am trying to propose is this: "de-prioritize" GIMP in its .dekstop file for the types you dont want it to be associated with, and manually add it back in through "Open With" for the file types you want it to be an option. Not sure if this is solving anything for you though

Get default audit field behavior with an external datasource

Others have posted and blogged extensively about creating a robust audit trail for LightSwitch. However, if you are looking to achieve the default behavior with an external datasource, you could simply add the fields to your database
and write code in every entity's Inserting() and Updating() method. However, if you have many tables in your app this can be a lot of work. Here is a very easy way to DRY this up.
1. Add the audit fields to your tables
- CreatedBy
- DateCreated
- UpdatedBy
- DateUpdated
2. Use this code in the DataService class for your datasource.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch.Security.Server;
namespace LightSwitchApplication
public partial class ApplicationDataService
partial void SaveChanges_Executing()
EntityChangeSet changes = this.Details.GetChanges();
IReadOnlyCollection<IEntityObject> addedEntities = changes.AddedEntities;
IReadOnlyCollection<IEntityObject> modifiedEntities = changes.ModifiedEntities;
if (addedEntities.Any())
foreach (IEntityObject entity in addedEntities)
InsertAuditFields(entity);
if (modifiedEntities.Any())
foreach (IEntityObject entity in modifiedEntities)
UpdateAuditFields(entity);
private void InsertAuditFields(IEntityObject entity)
string userName = this.Application.User.FullName;
DateTimeOffset currentDateTime = DateTimeOffset.Now;
entity.Details.Properties["CreatedBy"].Value = userName;
entity.Details.Properties["DateCreated"].Value = currentDateTime;
entity.Details.Properties["UpdatedBy"].Value = userName;
entity.Details.Properties["DateUpdated"].Value = currentDateTime;
private void UpdateAuditFields(IEntityObject entity)
string userName = this.Application.User.FullName;
DateTimeOffset currentDateTime = DateTimeOffset.Now;
entity.Details.Properties["UpdatedBy"].Value = userName;
entity.Details.Properties["DateUpdated"].Value = currentDateTime;
Hopefully this helps someone.

This version will check whether the table has the audit properties, thus allowing you to opt in. Paul's solution is going to be better in the long run because it checks at compile time. This was meant to be a quick way to get the default behavior.
This is not a substitute for a full audit capability (see Paul's blog) if that is your requirement.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch.Security.Server;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch.Details;

IReadOnlyCollection<IEntityObject> addedEntities = changes.AddedEntities;
IReadOnlyCollection<IEntityObject> modifiedEntities = changes.ModifiedEntities;
if (addedEntities.Any())
foreach (IEntityObject entity in addedEntities)
if (AuditProperties(entity))
InsertAuditFields(entity);
if (modifiedEntities.Any())
foreach (IEntityObject entity in modifiedEntities)
if (AuditProperties(entity))
UpdateAuditFields(entity);
private bool AuditProperties(IEntityObject entity)
bool hasAuditProperties = true;
bool createdBy = entity.Details.Properties.Contains("CreatedBy");
bool dateCreated = entity.Details.Properties.Contains("DateCreated");
bool updatedBy = entity.Details.Properties.Contains("UpdatedBy");
bool dateUpdated = entity.Details.Properties.Contains("DateUpdated");
bool[] checkForAuditProperties = new bool[]
createdBy,
dateCreated,
updatedBy,
dateUpdated
if (checkForAuditProperties.Any(a => a == false))
hasAuditProperties = false;
return hasAuditProperties;
private void InsertAuditFields(IEntityObject entity)
string userName = this.Application.User.FullName;
DateTimeOffset currentDateTime = DateTimeOffset.Now;
entity.Details.Properties["CreatedBy"].Value = userName;
entity.Details.Properties["DateCreated"].Value = currentDateTime;
entity.Details.Properties["UpdatedBy"].Value = userName;
entity.Details.Properties["DateUpdated"].Value = currentDateTime;
private void UpdateAuditFields(IEntityObject entity)
string userName = this.Application.User.FullName;
DateTimeOffset currentDateTime = DateTimeOffset.Now;
entity.Details.Properties["UpdatedBy"].Value = userName;
entity.Details.Properties["DateUpdated"].Value = currentDateTime;

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either.

I have created a form that contains fields with default text for a user to update/personalize. Is there a way to style the text so I can quickly identify changes to default text in a field?

George - Thanks you so much! Actually, i'd love for the text color to be red font color. Could you send me the script for that? And I assume I just copy and paste the script into the field properties (see screenshot)?
thanks again!
