Create a LOV without touching the FMB

Hi,
i am currently working under Oracle Ebusiness Suite 11.5.10 and we want to change the behavior of a form without changing the form file ".fmb".
So the only choices left are using custom.pll or the forms personalization.
But in both ways i did not succeed my task.
my task :
we have a field with no lov and we want to add a lov to this field. The lov would have a few columns and a custom SQL.
By forms personalization i succeeded to create a record group but i can't create a lov.
any idea ?
Thanks
Dan

Wrong forum.
Ask this question on the E-Busines Suite forum ;-)

Customize interface without touching the source code

My VP of of marketing is at it again. I have pasted in the exact email that he sent me. If anyone has ideas or suggestions or knows if Forms 9i has this built-in capability, please let me know.
Thanks.
Can you post this on metalink and see if someone at Oracle (or elsewhere) has an answer for us? Somehow, other LIMS developers are distributing LIMS products that allow their users to customize the interface without touching the source code -- no impact on their ability to take new releases. How do they do that?
Here's my question:
Anyone familiar with the Tools / Forms / Design this Form feature in MS Outlook? This allows a mere mortal to actually create and publish a custom Outlook form (could be a Contact, Task, Note, Journal, etc. form) across the organization. Is there such a capability built into Oracle9i Forms? In other words, can a developer easily build and distribute an Oracle software app such that the end-user can use an administrative tool to modify the interface/forms, add fields, change field names, move things around on the form, change colors, etc. -- without needing the Oracle Developer tool used by the original software developer, along with source code?
Here's my original email from a few months ago:
Our VP of marketing has been on my case about the ability to allow customers to "map" a form label (prompt) to a "custom" label of their choosing. The only way I know to do this is to create a "mapping" table and each time a form opens have code in the Post-Query trigger that changes the prompt of each column to the label that is in the "mapper" table. My fear here is Performance. Also, if the user closes that form and comes back to it - that logic has to be executed again - once again Performance. We have thought about the global variable idea, but we have over 100 tables with approx. 20 columns each. That's alot of globals to carry around. What's the overhead of carring around let's say 150 global variables?
My questions to all of you are:
1) Is anyone else doing this exact thing?
2) If so, what is the performance hit?
3) Is there a way to "remember" after the first time it paints - until the application is closed (not just that form) - other than global variables?
4) Is there a solution already in place within Forms for this?
5) Is there newer technology that has overcome this problem?
My VP doesn't like the mapping idea. He wants to know isn't there a better way instead of mapping all the fields. Isn't there some simple utility provided by Oracle that allows the user to simply change the form labels (no, he's not talking about Oracle Developer). He is a real Outlook nut. So he's always comparing everything to how Outlook works. This is how it works in Outlook -- you click on Design Form, modify it, then install it on the machine. Surely Oracle must have something like this. He thinks we're asking the wrong question or not asking it in the right way. I'm not sure how else to ask it. Our users want to see "Date of Birth" spelled out instead of "DOB" as the label for a column on a form. Is there a way for them to take the fmx and change that label? Is there a better way other than storing this in a table and querying it up each time the form opens? Yes, I could use a global so I don't have to query it from the database every time, but I still have to evaluate every time the form is opened during that session to see which label I need to use and then set the prompt accordingly. Our VP doesn't like this, he wants this to be a one time change.
Thanks so much for you help,
Tina

Hmmm.... either your VP of marketing or the users have too much time on their hands. ;-)
I would go with a lookup table. If your database is responsive and you index the table by form name, you can retrieve a number of rows and setup the screen quickly enough that nobody would notice any time lag.
If there aren't too many titles stored in the form, you could use a PLL library procedure and stuff all of them into a few globals -- just stack them into a single string separated by an odd character, like maybe chr(3). Then when the form is called again, it could first check to see if the globals exist, and parse the titles from there.
But be careful about changing field titles. If they change DOB to Date of Birth, the length changes, and so you need to determine where the extra length goes. The title field must be wide enough and the text justification should be set properly.

Without touching the JSP file

Hi,
I just want to set a text in my browser with bold face from my
begin....Display method. say Back>.
Since i decalare this as a text and using .setvalue() i'm getting it
as it is(i.e back in browser o/p.
Can u suggest me the solution ?
Todd, thanks for ur previous suggestion.
Thanks and Regards,
Vidyasankar.

I'm not sure, but I assume what you're indicating is that you're getting
back literally "Back" in the rendered browser text (meaning the HTML
source is "<B&rt;Back</B&rt;"). If so, it's because you need to set
the "escape" attribute to false for the text field:
<jato:text name="FooText" escape="false"/>

Without touching the screen, only 2 of my apps started shaking randomly. Not the kind of shaking when you want to delete/move. It was odd. Any idea as to what that could be?

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up

HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

How create mail alert without triggering the event.

1. SR 3-4924626351: How create mail alert without triggering the event.
We wanted to send alert mail every 10 days or 15 days or 1 month to a reporting manager of Opportunity Owner with details of that Opportunity. I don’t want to use any triggering of event like the Following. When new opportunity is created When modified Opportunity is saved etc.

Raju,
If you don't want to use the triggering event, you will have to do this manually.
Manually:
- Create a Web Link on the SR with and embed the mailto: function with the receivers email and subject and body embedded in the url (you can find this link on Google)
- When this link is clicked, an email window will open with all the details you provide, and you can click the send button to send the email.
- You will have to do this manually every 10-15 days or whatever is the duration
Auto:
- Create a time based workflow on a new Opportunity Created event
- create a action to send an email notification to the concerned person (details in the workflow properties)
- This workflow will auto send an email every 10-15 days to the opportunity Manager.
The time based workflow is the best option I see. Do you see any issue/ concerns with auto generated emails?
Hope this helps!

Create a tablespace without specifying the datafile path and name

HI,
Is it possible to create a tablespace without specifying the datafile path and name.
For eg : if we just specify the tablespace name and the size of the datafile, the datafile should be created in a default location with default name? Is it possible?

Oracle internally uses standard file system interfaces to create and delete files as needed for the following database structures:
* Tablespaces
* Online redo log files
* Control files
Through initialization parameters, you specify the file system directory to be used for a particular type of file.
EXAMPLE:
The following parameter settings are included in the initialization parameter file:
DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = '/u01/oradata/sample'
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1 = '/u02/oradata/sample'
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 = '/u03/oradata/sample'
The following statement is issued at the SQL prompt:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE sample;
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE tbs_2 DATAFILE SIZE 400M ;
SQL> CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE undotbs_1;

How to create Oracle Alert without metioning the email address in To Field

Hi,
I just wanna know that how to create Oracle Alert without metioning the email address in To Field.
Please help thanks.

If you don't enter anything in the email field, the alert email won't go out.
If you just want to test or if you plan to use the history, you can put a non-existant email there.
The alert will fire anyway.
Hope this helps,

Xperia S upper menu rolls down without touching the screen

Hello all! I have a Xperia S with the lastet firmware. The error is the following: the upper menu, where there is a sound, wifi icon, date, etc, rolls down without touching the screen. If i touch the screen for texting for example, the upper menu rolls down and i cannot keep texting. I have to touch the power button to block the screen, and touch it again to enable the screen. Is then when i can roll up the menu y try to use the phone. I can do this for a short time because the menu goes crazy again. From Sony Care told me that i can repair it by using The Repair Phone/Tablet option from the Sony Companion software(lastest version). It hasn't repaired my phone. I'm really concerned about, what else can i do? It is a software issue or a hardware one? Thanks for your time! Greetings!

Hello Quester, Regarding the cover, it has one, but i removed it when the issue appeared for the first time. It has factory cover only.Hmmm, i'm really concerned about it. I don't want to believe that is a hardware issue, but maybe it is. I've tried to make a downgrade of the firmware. Once, it worked and the issue disappeared but after a couple, and while i was installing some apps, the issue appeared again. I was thinking that may be an app could cause the issue but after applying the repair tool from Sony Companion, the issue remains and the phone is cleared, without any 3rd apps. Thanks and Regards,Pat.

Can i create apple id without use the credit card?

can i create apple id without use the credit card?

I'm getting the same thing. I created a new Apple ID via the Internet (appleid.apple.com) When I go to my device to try to use it, I have to review it first and in that process, I'm asked for a credit card or iTunes gift card. There is NO 'none' option.
I work in a school district and we'd like employees to use their own apple ID for free apps which will allow them the freedom to explore apps without weighing down our tech dept with myriad requests for random apps. I deal with a broad demographic and many users are suspicious of putting personal credit card info on an Internet-based account.
However, it appears they are locked out of the store unless they have some form of payment on file. Even if they enter a gift card, what happens when it's used up? Will they get locked out of the store if they don't have a balance?
Anyone have a work around? If not ... APPLE Please update your support materials to explain this, or fix the bug.
Thanks!

Why does the curser move across desktop without touching the track pad?

The curser has started to move across the screen without touching the track pad. There's no mouse connected. All networking connections are turned off. As the curser moves across the desktop, it opens new folders??? It will open as many as a dozen new folders before it stops at the left side of the screen and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired last month! Any help to figure out a fix would be appreciated.
