Connecting functions in the expression editor

Hi everybody,
what's wrong with this expression:
If ( stringindexof( Local.string , Local.search_string ) == 0 , true , false)
I get an "Invalid variable in expression If" error.
Isn't it possible to connect functions together?
or the more spectific question: How is it possible to get true or false if a string contains another one?
Regards,
Matthias

Hi
In the Conditional Action Block, you can map input1 to
stringindexof( Local.string , Local.search_string ).
If it will retun 0, means false. If it will retun 1, means true.

Not able to functions in the expression editor

Hi,
I have Installed ODI "11.1.1.5".
While doing the column mapping I am not able to see any default functions (which will be on bottom left side) like string functions,math functions.....etc in the expression editor....but I am able to see the all the tree structure on the right side like global variables,local variables,odiref functions....etc....
Please help me out on this......
regards,
Sai.

Hi Sai,
In mapping property (when you select a mapping column in interface) > implementation tab > you can find pencil image, click the same icon it will open a Expression Edition window where you can find string functionality, math function etc
Eg: in Expression Edition window you can find functions for String, expand String and you can find String functions. For Math, expand Operators and you can find Math operators like +, _, * etc.,

In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
The tab key doesn't work right.
Open the expression editor and:
* I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
* If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type. I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
* If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type.
* If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
3 tabstops in. In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times.
I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
Hopefully this image helps clarify:
Anybody know what is wrong?

Hi Bostaevski,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
In addition, I find a similar thread about the
Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
please see:
http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
Thnank for your understanding!

Context object not visible in the Expression Editor

Hi ,
I have created a context object and assigned it to the sender interface ( outbound interface) but i couldn't see the created object in the Expression editor.
Can anyone tell me why it is like this? It shows only the technical context objects .
with Regards
VasS

Hi Vasagam,
Please try out the following and see if it works:
- Did you set the "Adapter-Specific Message Properties" in the Sender File Communication Channel.You have to select this check box and also select the "File Name" check box(this will be visible once the initially mentioned check box is selected)
- Is the interface to which the context object is assigned an outbound Interface(Sender Interface) in receiver determination? Only then the context object will be visible.

None of the functions in the sample editor are appearing

Every time i go to the sample editor the editing functions are all greyed out, with the exception of gain I am using some of the logic content
Is there an easy way around this? Did I not correctly install the au stuff?

sounds like you are editing an apple loop. those cannot be modified without bouncing the loop in the arrange, and reimporting it

The connect function in the socket class has problems

when i call this function connect(SocketAddress endpoint, int timeout)
the timeout variable doesnt wait for the specific time that i tell it
example
connect(endpoint, 10000);
this call should wait for this amount of time but it doesnt wait that amount
any body has a answer ???

yes that is exactly what I am saying
I specify 10 sec, as 10000 milli sec's in the connect function but I get an exception almost imediately when i run my java program...
run this code
import java.net.*;
public class Test
public static void main(String [] args)
{ Socket s = null;
int port = 2000;
try
s = new Socket();
InetSocketAddress i = new InetSocketAddress("localhost",port);
//this next line should wait 10 sec's then throw and exception
//but it throws and exception upon running the this code
s.connect(i,10000);
catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e.toString()); }
}//main
}//Test
I have also tried setting the setSoTimeout(10000) in the Socket class but
still with no success...
I dont know why this doesnt wait 10 sec's then through an exception on it
and when i try it with a java server it connects instantly...
any help anyone???

Bridge an AirPort Express from an Extreme connected to a Motorola DOCSIS 3 cable/modem/gateway via an ethernet cable? Can I connect ethernet to the Express to setup/handshake/coordinate, and then unplug the ethernet cable from the Express?

In other words, does the AirPort Extreme NEED to be the device connected to the coaxial cable, or can I connect that cable to the Motorola SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem/wireless gateway? (My Internet provider requires DOCSIS 3.0 for speeds above 12 megabits/sec.)
Will the Airport Extreme "program" the Express via an ethernet cable, and than the cable can be removed?
The "bridge" or "repeater needs to be quite a distance away from the physically connected cable modem/wireless gateway and the ethernet- connected AirPort Extreme, and we have wall-to-wall carpeting, and the walls and ceilings are off-limits (family politics), so a looooong ethernet cable is out of the question.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx!
P.S. The 802.11 in my house (ground floor, about fifty feet away from the modem; in the living room about 35ft away *****! And Motorola touts this wireless gateway as having amazing coverage (360, I think they call it),but in fairness, this house is old and has a 5 hanset cordless landline and a microwave and a fan, etc., etc., etc......

Satellite Pro M70-273: Functionality of the Express Media Player feature

I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-273 "Limited Edition" (?) two weeks ago. The model number is PSM76E-00J00QDU, model name SPM76, production date 2006-02-21. According to the specifications I found in the online user's manual or in a folder with publication references
"TEG October 2005, Art. N0. DSSSPM70 10/05NLBE", there is an "Express Media Feature" "on some selected models" ...
It is not clear if yes or no, the model I bought has it. I have a "CD/DVD Button" that I use to launch my built-in dvd player (e.g. WinDVD), but this does not work as specified as "a standalone disc drive" that plays a dvd (film) without needing to startup Windows.
To watch the dvd film, after using the CD/DVD button, I have to boot into Windows, login into Windows XP and when the desktop is started, the WinDVD screen will show the film.
This is not what I'm expecting from a standalone dvd player. My old notebook has a "dj function" with which one can play a cd without booting into Windows, (or powering up the notebook), just by pressing a special key on the front . How about the promised feature of the Toshiba Satellite Pro?
Is there an "Express Media Player" functionality at all? How can I check if the feature is provided? I used the setup provided, the first time I used my notebook. I don't wish to use the recovery cd rom provided unless it might be absolutely indispensable to install this missing feature.

John
With the laptop you should have received a restore/recovery disc. This contains utilities to either replace individual drivers and tools, plus a complete 'image' of the base build that your laptop has when it is built at the factory
Although I have never used this, it is supposed to completely wipe all data and setings from ythe laptop by first formatting the hard drive then reinstalling the operating system and applications back to factory settings. From comments elsewhere on this forum one of the few options you can have when you do this is to choose to partition the hard drive into 2 sections, one for the Express Media player, the other for the operating system etc. (as the Express Media operates without booting into the operating system).
The process is designed to be user friendly as it guides you through it, but as I said it does wipe EVERYTHING you have on the laptop currently, which is why I never bothered after I realised it wasn't installed. By the sounds of it though it won't be too much hassle for you to do that as you have data/settings you can easily transfer afterwards (Win XP has a tool to help with this)
The Gigastore hub I have found very good, and likewise the Gigastore hard drive, although others have posted here about their laptops not 'seeing' the hard drive in certain conditions

Adding "order by" functionality to the expression of a toplink named query

hello,
using JDev 10.1.3, I have made a Toplink named query findCustomersByCompany with a parameter company (String) to pass the name of the company of interest. I used the expression option from the format tab with"1.companyId LIKE IGNORE CASE company".
The selection works fine but now I want the results to be ordered by customer name, the native order in the database is based on creation date.
How can I add the order by clause to my named query using the expression format?
kind regards,
Nemata

Is there function in the Javascript editor that will hash a field value

I'm using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 with reader extensions server 7.0. I want to take the value from a given field in a form, hash that value then place the hash in a hidden field. Is there a hash function I can call in designer 7.0 and if so what is called?

No. There is no hash function in Designer 7 that you can call. You will have to write your own hash function following one of the available hashing algorithms. http://www.partow.net/programming/hashfunctions/ has some good general purpose hashing algorithms.

Are there any plans to add back missing functions in the new editor?

For Example, I don't seem to be able to set a link to open in a new window without editing html.
I also can't left or right align images without editing CSS, scripting, or opening up html view and adding an inline style.
These are just two of the small things I've come across recently - I'm sure there are more too.

There are several thread on this Nathan,
The answer is yes of course.
For images - Modern work - Left right align not that good. Your better creating classes to float the images and have those in your dropdown. You get better results as well.
You can go into your partner portal and customise the editor - Turning off the inline font stuff for example is a 100% must for us to avoid issues and the SEO implications those give.
I would highly recommend doing a .image-left and .image-right class dropdown options and in the CSS for those float:left etc with margin around the image... Heaps better output and clean markup.
