Custom search for Catalog based on UDF fields combination

Can we customize in OIM 11g R2 PS1 to search catalog items based on multiple fields (similar to User search scenarios). If someone has to search based on combination of 2-3 custom attributes e.g. UDF fields , is it possible ? do we need to do complex changes in code through Catalog APIs ?

In my scenario , i have to customize catalog search with combination of 2-3 attributes including UDF attributes with standard attributes (Application Instance, Role and Entitlement). As, these 3 attributes (Application Instance, Role and Entitlement) are by default out of box ,present for catalog search we can use their combination for catalog search.
But, what if along with these standard attributes ,if there are other custom attribute like UDFs (e.g. : Sub application,Domain,etc) in combination ?
Is this customization for catalog search is possible through UI or do we have to make changes in Source Code exposing catalog APIs to work this scenario out ?

Searching for flash based forums, or a way to load forums into flash ?

Im searching for flash based forums, or a way to load forums into flash ? i found this
http://activeden.net/item/flash-forum/52576?page=1
Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated

You can load the raw html - if flash is told (e.g. via
flashvars) the url of the page that you want (its available in
flash as what you would think of as the browser's 'view source'
style plain text) with either as2 or as3.
But you can't do full browser-style rendering of the content
because flash just can't do all that. You could parse the raw html
(probably a custom parser as I think the internal xml parser might
choke on some of the tags in html that are not closed such as
 etc) and just pick out bits of text or images that you
could display but you can't achieve an embedded browser.
Adobe's AIR might be more what you want - it has embedded
browser support- but it doesn't run inside a browser like flash.

Search for multiple words in a field?

is there a way to search for multiple words in a field? for example, if i have a metadata field called NOTES that contains the string "Joe and Bob created this version on Sunday" is there a way to search for "Sunday, Joe, Bob" and have it return the asset?

Search using the "Matches Word" option instead of "Contains". That will limit your results to only assets that have a field value that includes all three of those terms. If they are not all included in the same field value, it will not return a hit. So if "Sunday" were in Keywords and "Joe" & "Bob" are in Notes, you would not get a hit for that search with "Matches Word".
"Contains" searches for the contiguous string in any field on the assets.
Further, if you add your Notes field to the Metadata Group "Asset Filter", it will appear in your advanced search options, asset subscription filters, and search expired responses. Then you can specifically limit the search to that field and choose from "Matches Word', "Contains", and several other search filters. Note that when you use "Matches Word" this way, you need to eliminate spaces from your comma delimited list of words or you will not get the search hits you want.

Searching for tasks based on Responsible Resource

Hi All,
I am having a requirement to search for all the tasks within cProjects based on the Responsible Resource field in cProjects. I am planning to design a custom Webdynpro application for this purpose. The requirement is that when i enter the user name of a person the entire list of tasks for which that user is the responsible resource is to be displayed.
Can anyone tell the related tables for this purpose? i want to know which table contains the Responsible Resource field. Also, i would like to know which tables are related to this functionality. If anyone can give me an idea to get me started, that would be great.
Best Regards,
Mazin
Edited by: mazin mahmood on Dec 10, 2008 2:49 PM

Hi Mahmood,
You've probably already figured this out, but you might want to look into DPR_ENTITY_LINK.This table lists role assignments to task. The fields that would be of interest to you are the following:
- Entity_GUID = Task GUID (system value)
- Participant_GUID (system value)
- Responsible (boolean) - part-guid is "responsible role"
- Concrete (boolean) - part-guid has "resource' (concrete role)
- Entity Type (of structure item)
Note, though, that this table will not have entries if there are no role assignments in your tasks. Since you're trying to identify responsible resources (concrete role), this won't be an issue when querying the table.
Good luck.

Sales Order in PCUI: Search for products based on BP?

Hello,
my customer wants to migrate to PC-UI and has the requirement that when creating a new sales order the search for products only returns those products that are defined by a partner-product relation PPR, as is possible in standard SAPGui. Unfortunately I do not see a way to restrict the search for products in a way like this, is there?
Thanks
Thomas

Hello thomas,
If it is not available in standard, you can always enhance the query method of your MAC to show select only products based on your parner-product relation PPR.

How can I use SQL to search for a pattern within a field?

Hello, Frank, Solomon, ect
I am now faced with this particular scenario, I've got the SQL to search through a field to find text within the field, but I have to know what it is before it can look for it.
What I have to do is this:
Search through a field, for a pattern, and I won't know what the data is I am looking for. Can this be done in SQL?
For instance, Here is my SQL this far, I was helped allot in order to get to this point.
select table_name,
 column_name,
 :search_string search_string,
 result
from (select column_name,
 table_name,
 'ora:view("' || table_name || '")/ROW/' || column_name || '[ora:contains(text(),"%' || :search_string || '%") > 0]' str
 from cols
 where table_name in ('TABLE1', 'TABLE2')),
 xmltable (str columns result varchar2(10) path '.')
When you execute the above SQL, you have to pass in a value. What I really need is to alter the above SQL, to make it search for a pattern that exist's within the text of the field itself.
Like for instance, lets say the pattern I am looking for is this" xx-xxxxx-xxxx" and it's somewhere in a field.
I need to alter this SQL to take this pattern and search through all the schemas and tables to look for this pattern match.
Can be done?

When you use something dynamically within a function or procedure, roles do not apply and privileges must be granted directly. So, you need to grant select on dba_tab_cols directly. If you want to do pattern matching then you should use regular expressions. The following example grants the proper privileges and uses regexp_instr to find all values containing the pattern xxx-xxxx-xxxx, where /S is used for any non-space character. I limited the tables in order to save time and output for the test, but you can eliminate that where clause.
SYS@orcl> CREATE USER test IDENTIFIED BY test

SYS@orcl> ALTER USER test QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS

Searching for "Upgrade of mySAP CRM Field Sales Scenariou0094

Hello!
We're planning to upgrade from SAP CRM 4.0 SP4 Mobile Sales up to 4.0 SP11 (or perhaps 12 in a few month). Now i'm searching for the pdf "Upgrade of mySAP CRM Field Sales Scenario. Has the title changed? I didn't found it on the service marketplace.
Perhaps here's anybody reading who knows a download-link?
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Ingo

Hello Ingo,
the documentation needed is in the car files that you can download for the mobile application; just go to service.sap.com/swdc -> entry by application CRM -> Scenario Mobile Client (or similar): there are two .car files for each SP, but you only need the target SP: Uncar them with (mobile/bin)sapcar -xvf (filename) and then you will get a documentation directory.
Otherwise just ask me directly.

Custom search for pages

Hi all,
I have a couple of questions about custom search on pages:
1) How do pages appear as links in a custom search region? We are able to search on non standard page type, but the problem is that we cannot retain a template with an non standard page type.
2) How do we tag a page with a refrencable attribute (preferably categories and perspectives) so that we can search on in a custom search?
Please advise.
Thanks.

(1) I am not entirely clear on what you are meaning. Is it the appearance of the actual page search results which is wrong or the actual search results. Can you please give more information.
(2) You can create a page type and add the attributes you wish to use to search for the page. Then after creating a page of this new type go to its properties and click on the 'Optional' tab you can enter values for these additional attributes.

Sharepoint 2010 custom search for subsites

Sharepoint 2010
Hello, i have main site and about 30 subsites. And on each subsite about 30 document librarys.
I created basic search center custom site with name "Search". I also created custom scope. So when i search on my main site, anything is fine and when i go to subsite document library my scope is changed to this site:document librarys name. Then
i pu something in search line and click search. On my custom search page i can see, that all links are from correct subsite and correct document library, but my scope shows "This Site:Search". So when i put something else in my search line and click
search, i dont get any results, because it searches only on search page. Even when i click on scope dropdown, there is no choice, only "This Site:Search".
Is there any solution to create a search scope, that would take the parameters from the document librarys URL from wich i am searching for and put it in the scope.
P.S.
Default search OSSSearchResults.aspx works fine, but i nead to change xsl code.
I tried to put scope dropdown to "show and default to url parametr", but nothing is changed.

Hi Dmitri,
If you want to search on a library, you can go to the library, then search using the Search Box at the top of the page. When you search, it will go to the OSSSearchResults.aspx page, and on the page, you will find there are two search scope, one is the library,
another is the site. If you want to search on another library, you can go to another library, then search.
Or, you can create a custom search scope pointed to the library, and add the search scope into the Search Dropdown display group.
More infoemation, please refer to the link:

Searching for values in a specific field using REST Search

To conduct a Search using REST...you only have the querytext parameter which searches all fields. How can I search within a specific field using REST?

You can use the following code as an example to post a query. The example shows how to search against the title managed property. It also shows you how to bring back certain properties for viewing and refiners. You can also do the same with a GET.
function executeRESTSearch() {
var appweburl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
$.ajax(
'url': appweburl + "/_api/search/postquery",
'method': 'POST',
'data': JSON.stringify({
'request': {
'__metadata': {
'type': 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchRequest'
'Querytext': 'title:whatever',
'Refiners': 'title,created',
'SelectProperties': { 'results': ['created','path'] },

IDM 11g AD connector OU Placement based on UDF fields

Good morning everyone!
I'm currently using the 11.1.1.3.0 distro of the Oracle Identity Manager and have the need to establish OU placement within our AD based on user data.
Our ideal setup is as follows:
User 1 has
Field 1 = A
Field 2 = B
So he belongs in OU=W,OU=X
User 2 has
Field 1 = C
Field 2 = D
So she belongs in OU=Y,OU=Z
And for any other users without A or C in field 1, or B or D in field 2, they get dumped into an OU of their own.
I've been trying to locate where I can establish the logic for such a scenario but I'm not having much luck. Does anyone know how to tackle this?
All help is greatly appreciated :)

I am trying the same but I've created a lookup table for Code value: "A-B" and Decode "Ou=x,dc=yz,dc=com" and I do a concat attribute values of A and B and then try decoding. However that doesn't seem to work. I cannot even pre-populate the value in the process from. I've checked the logic and it seems reasonable what am I doing wrong.

Custom search for Maintained or Changed authorizations

Hi
Is there a way by which I could search upon all sap roles which have objects "Maintained" or "Changed" by me with the respective values?
I guess that this might be possible using table level search (USOBX_C, USOBT_C and a bunch of USR tables)
Is there a simpler way out of this?
If table level search is possible which tables are we talking about?
thanks
ravi

Hi Ravi,
Either way is that goto change document for role. Select Authosrization data. Put your user ID as changed by. Execute.
AGR_1251 will also work.
However report will give a better view for understanding.
USOBT_C, USOBX_C wont work for this option. These tables stores data for transaction not role.

Search for file based on file date

I have an application that performs testing and I calculate and record several metrics into datalog files. For certain metrics, I create a new datalog file for each day of testing.
What I want to be able to do for one metric in particular is to recall historic data from previous files programatically. In other words, I want to display the previous day's data or week old data as a comparison to the current day's data without any user intervention.
My file naming convention is to use an identifier for the type of data stored and then include the date the file was created (one file per day) ie. FPY_09-19-12.dl (FPY = First Pass Yield btw)
I could probably take the current day's file path\name and go through some routine to change the date info but this seems kludgy and would have to account for weekends, holidays and what not.
My prefrence would be to automatically search the data file path or folder (all files for a given metric are stored in a single network folder) and find the most recent file that is older than the current date or perhaps a weeks worth of files so I can average data across multiple days.
Any thoughts on an approach to this would be appreciated.

"My only wish is that I am capable of learning each and every day until my last breath."

The List Folder function will return to you a list of files as an array of strings. You could then search this string. If you want to deal with timestamps (perhaps some of your searching may be easier if you have a timestamp datatype), then you can simply convert each string in the array. Something like this:
