Commit across multiple workspaces

Hello.
I have an adf 12c application, which I have splitted into several workspaces. The current structure of the application is based on the book https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/adf_enterprise_application_development_book.
So currently i have workspaces for:
1. extenstion of the framework base classes
2. model (EO, VO...)
3. workspace for menu, topbar and main area.
4 several workspaces for different areas of the application
workspaces that is in the category 4. is places as a dynamic region on to the main area of workspace 3.
The question is how can I have commit and rollback buttons at the topbar which is located workspace 3. That allows for commit or rollback of changes in the workspaces at category 4.
I have tried simply drag and drop from the application module on to the topbar but nothing gets committed in the workspaces of the dynamic region.
I have also tried getting the BindingsContainer of the currently shown fragement in the dynamic region and then using the commit opreation that has been bound to that jsf fragment. Also without luck.
same story for the rollback operation.
If I place the commit and rollback on each fragement they work, but i really want the buttons to be at one single place in the topbar all the time.
I am using Jdev 12.1.2.0.0 and the integrated weblogic.
TIA

Ian - You can use a different schema for each application while keeping the applications in a common workspace. This would allow users to authenticate once and for the applications to share the same authenticated session. In doing this, however, a user has to be given links from one application to another, e.g., from a menu page, in order for the "session continuity" to remain unbroken (a requirement to prevent another login challenge). But since these may be unrelated applications that have no need to access one anothers' session state, it might be better to use Single Sign-On. With this method there is only one login required and a user can access each application which will maintain its own private session.

Multiple Applications Across Multiple workspaces

Hello
I have several apps that I intended on linking via one login app using custom authentication. These apps were originally setup on htmldb.oracle.com in the same workspace and the process worked fine.
The server in my company has now been made available and I have set the applications up using seperate workspaces/schemas.
When I now login and try to link to the databases via a report list, the session id is not transferring between the apps even thought I am using &SESSION_ID. in the URL, when I hover over the link the correct session Id looks as though it is going to be passed, however when the page is displayed a new session ID is created.
Any ideas what the problem could be or am I trying to do something that is not possible?

Theme subscription across different workspaces and applications.

Hi!
My cie juste upgraded to Apex 4 and asked me to make a new theme and templates for everyone to use. Most of the changes will be made in the CSS files but some will be in the html code of the templates. We sadly have more than one workspace and this is not something that can be changed. Right now when someone start a new application he imports the theme manually from a file. So when we make changes to the theme we need to re-import it manually in all our applications. There's surely a better and more effective way to do it.
When we make changes to the theme html code we would like those changes to be published to all our applications automatically.
Is there a way to do this and if yes what would be the best practice to have a theme and templates updates themselves automatically across multiple workspaces and applications upon change?

Sounds like you should look to use APEX's built-in publish-and-subscribe model. You can create a "master" application to contain publishable components like authentication schemes, LOVs and templates. Your theme templates are created, maintained and published through this application, and your other applications reference the standard templates by subscription from the master application. Changes can be pushed out from the master application to all subscribing applications.
To avoid having to recreate subscriptions when creating new applications you can have a starter app with all of the subscriptions set up, and copy that application as a baseline when you want to create a new one.
The publish-and-subcribe model only works within a single workspace.
Unfortunately the documentation isn't exactly comprehensive on this feature...
Another feature that may be of interest is the ability to manage workspace themes, and add themes to the repository.

Cluster Apex MS's across multiple nodes for load balancing?

Can Cluster Apex MS's across multiple nodes for load balancing? If Yes/No, any supportive doc's will be much appreciated.
Here is what I did ..........
I tried multiple MS's on different nodes for Apex Domain (clustered)
Deployed apex.war, i.war with targets pointing to cluster.
Apex listener techstack is shared filesystem $HOME/apex, where apex-config.xml and bdb are available
Anyone of the MS's whichever started up first is locking up bdb and 500 server shows up when internal workspace is being launched with host specific url, where as it works fine for the host which actually locked up bdb (first MS that was started)
2nd MS shows errors as below in log files ..
Caused By: com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentLockedException: (JE 4.0.103)$HOME/apex/bdb The environment cannot be locked for single writer access. ENV_LOCKED: The je.lck file could not be locked. Environment is invalid and must be closed.
Its expected behavior until here .....
++++ I tried something to get it working ++++
Whilst both MS's are up and running, delete $HOME/apex/bdb but let apex-config,xml be as it is...now the internal workspace urls for both hosts work fine. I logged into host specific urls and navigated, created/edited users.,etc and it is all looking good but it did not create new bdb directory under $HOME/apex ...!!
Having said its working fine, the same issue repeats after the MS's bounce. So I did put a command line to delete bdb dir once the MS comes up to avoid the issue but really not sure if this is the right way at all?
Geek's ...awaiting your advice!!

Hey there,
I managed to fulfill my requirement..
If its a cluster on same machine or across machines, this should work
1. Login to machine, cd $DOMAIN_HOME
2. mkdir -p Apex_lsn_config/AdminServer Apex_lsn_config/<MS1> Apex_lsn_config/<MS2> # MS1 and MS2 are the Managed Server names as appropriate
#If you are planning for cluster spawning MS's across machines, make sure you create the dir's on step 2 for each machine respectively. (in my case $DOMAIN_HOME is not shared)
3. Copy apex-config.xml from the /tmp/apex or whatever location you have it currently to Apex_lsn_config/<MS1> Apex_lsn_config/<MS2>
4. cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin; cp -p SetDomainEnv.sh SetDomainEnv.sh.orig #Backup the file
5. Append -Djava.io.tmpdir in SetDomainEnv.sh as below for JAVA_OPTIONS # Do it on both machine if you are not sharing DOMAIN_HOME and planning cluster across machines
-Djava.io.tmpdir=$DOMAIN_HOME/APEX_CONFIG/${SERVER_NAME}
Hint: Search for "iterativeDev" and append the same line with -Djava.jo.tmpdir
6. Modify "java.io.tmpdir" from the web.xml file of apex.war as below and re-deploy the war
<context-param>
<param-name>config.dir</param-name>
<param-value>${java.io.tmpdir}</param-value>
</context-param>
7. Bounce Weblogic Admin and Manged Servers. Make sure to tail the Managed Server log to see apex-config.xml is picked from the new location.
8. Brew a Coffee for yourself :)
- You find the instructions on creating a cluster from weblogic documentation, the steps mentioned above are only to overcome the bdb locking issue whilst creating a cluster.
Did it help?

Spreading a single form across multiple pages

I'd like to implement a single record form that spreads it's items across multiple pages for the purpose of grouping related information on each page such as "Contact Details"," Education Profile" etc. There are way too many columns for a single page.
In Oracle forms you can create a form across multiple canvases or on different tabs of a tabbed canvas. Each item has a property to position it on which canvas.
Is this possible in ApEx? I can see that transaction processing could be complex.
How do I avoid, for example, inserting the record a second time if I commit from a different page?
Any comments appreciated.

Another way to do this without javascript and ajax that works pretty well is to setup a list that represents the logical "sections" and display it as a sidebar list.
Create a hidden item on the page called PX_ACTIVE_SECTION and set the visibility of each region on the page based on the value of this item. For example: :PX_ACTIVE_SECTION = 'Contact Details'. You can also have multiple regions associated with a single tab. Set the default value to whatever section you wish to display first.
Next, set each list item to be "current" when :PX_ACTIVE_SECTION is equal to that item ('Contact Details', 'Education Profile', etc.). Also set the URL destination of each item to: javascript:doSubmit('section name');
Finally, add a branch back to the current page that sets PX_ACTIVE_SECTION to &REQUEST.. This traps the doSubmit call so you can set the hidden item. (Add a condition, if needed, to prevent this branch from executing due to other buttons and requests).
The result is that the user can switch freely between sections and save after all data is entered. The page does refresh (since it doesn't use AJAX), but if your regions aren't too big, it should be reasonable.

Using ATMI and tuxedo to institue distributed transactions across multiple DBs

I am creating the framework for a given application that needs to ensure that data
integrity is maintained spanning multiple databases not necessarily within an
instance of weblogic. In other words, I need to basically have 2 phase commit
"internet transactions" between a given coordinator and n participants without
having any real knowlegde of their internal system.
Originally I was thinking of using Weblogic but it appears that I may need to
have all my particular data stores registered with my weblogic instance. This
cannot be the case as I will not have access to that information for the other
participating sytems.
I next thought I would write my own TP...ouch. Everytime I get through another
iteration I kept hitting the same issue of falling into an infinite loop trying
to ensure that my coordinator and the set of participants were each able to perform
the directed action.
My next attempt has led me to the world of ATMI. Would ATMI be able to help me
here. Granted I am using JAVA so I am assuming that I would have to use CORBA
to make the calls but will ATMI enable me to truly manage and create distributed
transactions across multiple databases. Please, any advice at all would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

I will not have multiple instances of weblogic as I cannot enfore that
the other participants involved in the transaction have weblogic as
their application server. That being said, I may not have the choice
but to use WTC.
Does this make more sense?

management Tux is fairly similar to WebLogic (it was written by the
same people). If you are trying to do interposed transactions
(i.e. multiple co-ordinators) then WTC would give you this but it is
only a beta feature in WLS 6.1. Using Tux domain gateways would also
give you interposed behaviour but would require you write your servers
in C or C++ ....

DC Stock rationing across multiple receiving sites

Hi experts,
We have a business requirement to ration available stock held at the DC across multiple orders in the situation of a shortage.
The requirement is to do this rationing is based on the document type of the originating STO and Ordering Site classification, so that the most significant order type and most significant store gets the available inventory first.
We have 5 primary store STO document types and we wish to classify them from 1 to 5, 1 being the most imporant.
We also have circa 300 stores and likewise wish to classify them 1 - c.300, 1 being the most important.
Using this classification data we want to generate Outbound Deliveries from the STOs.
A simple example:
We have a Qty of 20 pieces of Article 1 in the DC available:
The following STOs have been generated:
Doc. Type 1 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
Doc. Type 1 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
Doc. Type 2 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
Doc. Type 2 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 15
We would expect the following Outbound Deliveries to be generated:
OBD 1 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
OBD 2 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
OBD 3 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
We need this processing to take place in the shortest possible time, as we have strict timings around orders being available in the DC WMS for picking due to a short lead time. We therefore want to maximise parallel processing, rather than just sequencing the running of VL10B to be one order type and one store at a time.
Any ideas on how best to achieve this requirement and how you would approach it?
Has anyone done similar types of rationing before?
Many thanks in advance!
David

Hi David,
You need to create a new allocation program for rationing the stocks to the stos. Once the STOs are created, run this program
to allocate or commit the stocks based on your logic.
Later you can create the deliveries based on the committed stocks of STOs.

Filter on keyword across multiple "folders"

It is clear that I can filter for specified keyword within a "folder."
This does not provide much convenience, it seems to me. I want to locate images with a given keyword across a large number of "folders" including even my entire C: drive. I must be missing something, because there is little advantage if filtering for a specified keyword is limited to what you might see in the thumbnails on the Bridge screen.
I nearly always store my images by date, with the "folder" name being the date taken. I plan to use Bridge to assign multiple keywords to all my images stored on my computer, a tedious chore, but one that I can do a bit at one time; say one day's shooting per day until I eventually catch up with several years of shooting.
There must be some functionality that I am ignorant of which allows the user to filter on all, repeat all, images tagged, for example, "Sarah." I have tried searching the FAQs and have failed to find the answer. I have tried highlighting a couple of "folders" but the "filter" functionality is not available as far as I can tell. Please tell me what I must do to exploit the Filter functionality across multiple "folders."

I much appreciate the very useful information from Sergei Urlof, and I am using it. But I could use even more information, to speed up what I am trying to do. I want to know some efficient work flow procedures for using the keyword functionality.
I want to tag every appropriate image file that I have in storage with the name of the persons pictured. I see that when I open a folder in Bridge, and follow the File/File Info route, I can assign a keyword to the file, or more keywords if I use a comma. I see that the keywords I assign are shown on the bottom right side of screen. I see that if I open a different folder, the keywords are carried over, and I can locate/highlight other files with a particular person pictured, and can assign a keyword by clicking in the box by the keyword. This saves me the steps involved in File/File Info and typing in a keyword that is already in the list shown bottom right.
HOWEVER, as soon as I close that particular Bridge session, I lose that list, or at least so it seems to me. How do I recover the list of all keywords that I have assigned previously and make them available for clicking, for use with a folder newly opened? I can imagine using variations of names for a given person as keywords, and that would lead to poor filtering. That is, I do not see a keyword-name for an image of a certain person, so I type in a name in the File/File Info Keyword box. But it is a slight variant of one I have used before; e.g., Victoria instead of Vicki. I would not use a variant if the list of previously assigned keywords were displayed.
So, how do I bring up the previously assigned keywords, for use in a new Bridge session?

Maintaining Transaction Across Multiple JSP Pages

          Hi,
          I have a multi page Registration (3 steps). On each step data submited is taken
          to the database via an EJB component (Session Bean). How do I maintain a transaction
          across these JSP pages so that the data in the database is consistent. If a there
          is a problem in the 3rd step the data submitted in the first two steps should
          be rolled back.
          How do I maintain transaction across multiple pages.
          Regards
          -MohanRaj


It will take from several minutes to a long time for a user to complete a multiple page registration process. Do you really have enough database connections that each concurrent user can hold on to one?
Usually you cannot open more than 50-200 connections to a database at any given time.
Remember that some users will abandon the registration process. Can you afford that their sessions holds a db conenction until the session times out?
Consider changing your datamodel so you can run and commit a transaction at the end of processing the form data from a page. Immediately after the commit give the db connection back to the pool inside the app. server.
It can be as simple as having a column in the database of type enum, with a set of values that shows how far in the registration process the registration has procesed.
BTW. if you absolutely have to hold on to the db connection, you can stuff it into a session scoped attribute and it will be available on all pages.

Sharing an iTunes Library across multiple user account and a network.

Sharing an iTunes Music Library across multiple user accounts.
Hello Everybody!
Firstly, this was designed to be run in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It will not work with earlier versions of Mac OS X! Sorry.
Here's a handy tip for keeping your hard drive neat and tidy, it also saves space, what in effect will be done is an iTunes music library will be shared amongst multiple users on the same machine. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this method.
• Firstly I think it might be worthwhile to state the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach.
The advantages include:
- Space will be saved, as no duplicate files will occur.
- The administrator will be able to have complete control over the content of the iTunes library, this may be useful for restricting the content of the Library; particularly for example if computer is being used at and education institution, business or any other sort of institution where things such as explicit content would be less favorable.
- The machine will not be slowed by the fact that every user has lots of files.
The disadvantages to this system include.
- The fact that the account storing the music will have to be logged in, and iTunes will have to be active in that account.
- If the account housing the music is not active then nobody can use the iTunes library.
- There is a certain degree of risk present when an administrator account must be continually active.
- Fast User Switching must be enabled.
Overview:
A central account controls all music on the machine/network, this is achieved by storing iTunes files in a public location as opposed to in the user's directory. In effect the system will give all users across the machine/network access to the same music/files without the possibility of files 'doubling up' because two different users like the same types of music. This approach saves valuable disk space in this regard and may therefore prove to be useful in some situations.
This is a hearty process to undertake, so only follow this tutorial if you're willing to go all the way to the end of it.
Process:
Step 1:
Firstly, we need to organize the host library, I tidied mine up, removing excess playlists, random files, things like that. this will make thing a bit easier in the later stages of this process.
Once the library is tidied up, move the entire "iTunes" folder from your Home directory to the "//localhost" directory (The Macintosh HD) and ensure that files are on the same level as the "Applications", "Users", "Library" and "System" directories; this will ensure that the files in the library are available to all users on the machine (this also works for networks)
Optionally you can set the ownership of the folder to the 'administrator' account (the user who will be hosting the library.), you may also like to set the permissions of 'you can' to "Read & Write" (assuming that you are doing this through the user who will host the library); secondly you should set the "Owner" to the administrator who will be hosting the library and set their "access" to "Read & Write" (this will ensure that the administrator has full access to the folder). The final part of this step involves setting access for the "Others" tab to "Read Only" this will ensure that the other users can view but not modify the contents on the folder.
Overview:
So far we have done the following steps:
1. Organized the host library.
2. Placed the iTunes directory into a 'public' directory so that other users may use it. (this step is essential if you plan on sharing the library across multiple accounts on the same machine. NOTE: this step is only necessary if you are wanting to share you library across multiple accounts on the same machine, if you simply want to share the music across a network, use the iTunes sharing facility.
3. set ownership and permissions for the iTunes music folder.
Step 2:
Currently the administrator is the only user who can use this library, however we will address this soon. In this step we will enable iTunes music sharing in the administrator's account, this will enable other users to access the files in the library.
If you are not logged in as the administrator, do so; secondly, open iTunes and select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu, now click the "Sharing" tab, if "share my library on my local network" is not checked, the radio buttons below this will now become active, you may choose to share the entire libraries contents, or share only selected content.
Sharing only selected content may be useful if their is explicit content in the library and minors use the network or machine that the library is connected to.
If you have selected "share entire library" go to Step 3, if you have selected share "share selected playlists" read on.
After clicking "share selected playlists" you must then select the playlists that you intend to share across your accounts and network. Once you have finished selecting the playlists, click "OK" to save the settings.
Overview:
In this step we:
1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the administrator's account, now, users on the local network may access the iTunes library, however, users on the same machine may not.
Step 3:
Now we will enable users on the same machine to access the library on the machine. This is achieved by logging in as each user, opening iTunes, opening iTunes preferences, and clicking "look for shared music". now all users on the machine may also access the library that the administrator controls.
This in effect will mean that the user will not need to use their user library, it will be provided to them via a pseudo network connection.
As a secondary measure, I have chosen to write a generic login script that will move any content from the user's "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" directory to the trash and then empties the user's trash.
This is done through the use of an Automator Application: this application does the following actions.
1. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Specified Finder Items"
1a. The user's "~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder
2. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Folder Contents"
3. Uses the "Finder" action "Move to Trash"
4. Uses the "Automator" action "Run AppleScript"
4a. with the following:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
empty trash
end tell
return input
end run
IMPORTANT: Once the script is adapted to the user account it must be set as a login item. in order to keep the script out of the way i have placed it in the user's "Library" directory, in "Application Support" under "iTunes".
Overview:
Here we:
1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the user accounts on the host machine, in effect allowing all users of the machine to view a single iTunes library.
2. (Optional) I have created a login application that will remove any content that has been added to user iTunes libraries, this in effect stops other users of the machine from adding music and files to iTunes.
Step 4:
If it is not already enabled, open system preferences and enable Fast User Switching in Accounts Options.
Summary:
We have shared a single iTunes library across multiple user account, while still allowing for network sharing. This method is designed to save space on machines, particularly those with smaller hard drives.
I hope that this hint proves to be helpful and I hope everybody will give me feedback on my process.

Pete.

how to share music between different accounts on a single computer

How can I display selected tags across multiple e-mail addresses?

I receive email on a specific topic but via several e-mail addresses. How can I view selected tags where the resulting e-mails span several (7) email addresses. They are all active on my Thunderbird, but as far as I know, I can only display the selected tag on one of them at a time.
Any assistance greatly appreciated as this is a very big problem for me.
thanks, Ron75

This solution does not appear to work across multiple e-mail addresses.
Perhaps I should have said "work across multiple e-mail address at the same time. I get e-mail on specific topics via several email addresses and wish to view all the tagged emails regardless of which email account in which they reside.
I could not get this solution to select more than one email account at a time.

Sharing one iTunes library across multiple accounts on the same Mac

Hello, I've poked around at some of the posts dealing with sharing one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac but it seems like this can only be done if the libary is moved to a shared folder. I realize this can be done but I was trying to share it the way it is described in a post on Apple support (See link below.). That post seemed to imply that you don't have to move the library from its original location (owned by account A, e.g.), rather just make a couple preference changes in the accounts, use fast user switching and voila. That doesn't seem to work. So my question is this: Is the only way to share one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac to move it to a shared folder? I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. Thanks in advance!

After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

How do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the prin

i
Can any one you provide some information on below questions.
Check printing by XML template (XML Publisher).
1. When printing checks, how do you print the checks from one printer tray and the overflow remittance pages from another printer tray?
2. When printing a large batch of checks using XML and PDF output, how do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the print time?
I appreciate if you could give some information on above 2 questions.
Regards,
Ramarao.

Probably sould just do them individually.
