Custom Wizards (using Wizard Framework)?

Is there a good resource out there that describes how one might go about creating a custom wizard (I suppose using SAP's Wizard Framework) to be used during creation of new iViews (of a particular portal archive)? I've been looking around, but haven't found much on the topic. I have looked at the URL iView code (which implements this framwork API), and it appears somewhat involved.
Thanks,
John Schimmels

Hi John,
you know the API doc? If not - https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/ep 6.0 sp2 wizard framework api
I don't remember to have seen anything in addtion
Hope it helps

How do I implement a Normalized DB in Customer Forms using OA Framework

Our Customer would like a Form that lists the years left to right(columns) versus in a single column with multiple rows. Looking at how the GL tables are and how OA works it is very easy to do this by creating a table with the following design and mapping the form directly to the table; However, this is poor data modeling for a transactional system. Is there any examples or anyone have experience in decoupling the Form from the data model using 11i.
We currently achieve this using the following database design.
CREATE TABLE XXAF.XXAF_GL_JE_LINES
ID NUMBER,
LINE_NO NUMBER,
BATCH_ID NUMBER,
CODE_COMBINATION_ID NUMBER,
CONTEXT VARCHAR2(150 BYTE),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(250 BYTE),
TYPE VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
YEAR_1 NUMBER,
YEAR_2 NUMBER,
YEAR_3 NUMBER,
YEAR_4 NUMBER,
YEAR_5 NUMBER,
YEAR_6 NUMBER,
YEAR_7 NUMBER,
YEAR_8 NUMBER,
YEAR_9 NUMBER,
YEAR_10 NUMBER,
YEAR_11 NUMBER,
YEAR_12 NUMBER,
YEAR_13 NUMBER,
YEAR_14 NUMBER,
YEAR_15 NUMBER,
YEAR_16 NUMBER,
YEAR_17 NUMBER,
YEAR_18 NUMBER,
YEAR_19 NUMBER,
YEAR_20 NUMBER,
CURRENCY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
Suggested Design
Some team members have argued (correctly) that the above is not a perfect database design. The preferred table structure would be something along the lines of:
CREATE TABLE XXAF.XXAF_GL_JE_LINES
ID NUMBER,
LINE_NO NUMBER,
BATCH_ID NUMBER,
CODE_COMBINATION_ID NUMBER,
CONTEXT VARCHAR2(150 BYTE),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(250 BYTE),
TYPE VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
CURRENCY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
CREATE TABLE XXAF.XXAF_FISCAL_YEAR_VALUES
ID NUMBER,
LINE_ID      NUMBER
YEAR      NUMBER
VALUE      NUMBER
In this design, there is a parent-child relationship between the individual line records and the fiscal year records. This is a far more flexible database design. The question is, can this design be used to create the desired OAF screen. This design leads to a vertical OAF table.
Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,
OAF supports the master-detail based design. You can very well implement your model. You can use 2 VO for your 2 objects and link them using a ViewLink. Check OAF Dev guide for more details.

Uninstall previous version with Adobe Customized Wizard

Good day everyone. I am just beginning to use Adobe Customized wizard 9 to be used with SCCM (newer version of SMS). I have already extracted the exe to get to the msi file, but looking at the wizard, these options are grayed out and cannot be checked off. Actually the option to remove previous versions of Acrobat is checked (which I need it unchecked) and remove previous versions of Reader is unchecked. Any idea of the work around? We currently have in our environment versions 6-9 and we want everyone to be upgraded to 9.2. Also will this Customized wizard corrupt or change any settings for those that have both ReEader and Writer? Any help or info greatly appreciated. Thanks

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Then, if you want to install Reader, download its installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and perform a clean install.

Custom Login using the Pluggable Identity Management Framework

Hi all,
We are trying to establish 2 ways into our application:
1. via a login form
2. seamless login from an external application
To achieve this we are trying to build our own custom authentication using the pluggable IDM framework.
Basically if a secure page is requested, we want to check the header/cookie/request (don't mind which) for a key which is provided by the external application. If present, the key is validated against a web service provided by the external app, the identity is asserted and the user is entered seamlessly into the application. If the header/cookie/request does not contain a key the user is to be redirected to a login page, where they can input username and password which will be validated against our database.
We've created a Token Collector and Token Asserter class, we've modified our custom Login Module to retrieve the identity created by the Token Asserter but we haven't worked out how to get the alternate login page working for users which don't come through the external application.
Has anybody built anything similar? From the documentation it appears we should be able to achieve our goal using the pluggable IDM, but we're going around in circles a bit at the moment.
Any help/sample code would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Can you tell why the page is not working? I mean, any errors ? What happens when you try to open the protected resource?

Can I use OA framework to create custom pages

Hi,
My client is using 11.5.8 and the Framework version is 5.6.
And we want to add a custom page to iSupplier application.
Can I use OA Framework extension to develop the page and add it to the application without upgrading the applications techstack.? If Yes, what version of the OA patch do I need to use for development.
If not, is there any way to add a custom page to this application?

OAF can be technology of choice only after 11.5.9 . Use JSP instead to develop your custom pages.

Skipping Custom Wizard in MDT-LiteTouch Deployment

I have one deployment share in which I generate media from to create a gold image, sysprep and capture, and than a deployment where the gold image and other things are performed. As part of the deployment of the Gold Image, I want to incorporate a custom
wizard to prompt if the user wants to wipe the hard drive as I need to accomplish something greater than the included reformat once. It needs to obviously run before the format and partitioning occurs, and I only want it to appear in one of my three media.
I have created a custom XML file, made the entry DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml, and can successfully acknowledged the variable ("DoSanitize") value where I need to in my task sequence.... however, I am unable to skip the custom wizard the way
I am with other pre-defined wizards. I have made the condition to skip it and I have placed the condition in my customsettings.ini.
How can I skip a custom wizard if the variable is set in customsettings.ini?
Entry added to the customsettings.ini for the media I want to skip
======================================
SkipSanitize=YES
======================================
Entry added to DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml
======================================
<Pane id="SanitizeHardDrive" reference="DeployWiz_SanitizeDrive.xml">
<Condition><![CDATA[UCASE(Property("SkipSanitize"))<>"YES"]]></Condition>
</Pane>
======================================
Contents of DeployWiz_SanitizeDrive.xml
======================================
<Wizard>
<Global>
</Global>
<Pane id="SanitizeHardDrive" title="Sanitize Hard Drive">
<Body><![CDATA[
<H1>Do you want to sanitize the Hard Drive?</H1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type=radio name="DoSanitize" id="CaptureRadio1" Value="YES">
</td>
<td>
<Label class="Larger" for=CaptureRadio1 language=vbscript >Sanitize the Hard Drive.</Label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type=radio name="DoSanitize" id="CaptureRadio2" Value="NO" checked>
</td>
<td>
<Label class="Larger" for=CaptureRadio1 language=vbscript >Do not sanitize the Hard Drive.</Label>
</td>
</tr>
</table>]]></Body>
<Condition><![CDATA[UCASE(Property("SkipSanitize"))<>"YES" or UCase(Property("DeploymentType"))<>"CAPTURE"]]></Condition>
</Pane>
</Wizard>
======================================
The only end user facing media will have the Sanitize Drive option available so it is not show stopper, but more of an OCD thing for me.

Thanks for your response and I see that now. I did a bit of a workaround for this and moved all applications to a temp folder in Deployment Workbench, then moved them back out in the proper order. That appeared to fix the order problem.
Yet, my original problem still stands - The applications that I have added within the last 24 hours are not showing up in Deployment Wizard. I have even tried deleting them and recreating them but it would appear that any new applications are not being
added. I do see them within the Applications.xml AND the ApplicationGroups.xml. I have created them in a normal method as I have done many times before and there is not really anything unique about the apps (the are apps with source files).
How can this be?

Ravi ,
I am trying exactly the same. Hers is the scenario.
ABAP Proxy --> PI (7.0) SP 12 ---> WebService.
Since This is service is secured, means it is using OASIS web servie securyty user name token,
I am trying to use AXIS adapter. and I want to configure HandlerBean in which I want to use apache wss4j api to add the userNameToken. I am looking for some documentation on this.

ISetup new custom interface using BC4J/java class

Hi,
I am able to create new custom interface using the link :- How to setup an user to be Oracle iSetup Super user ? but I have not seen anything for BC4J filter set, as per oracle iSetup developer guide clearly explains step by step process how to create custom BC4J interface type, but they have not mention how to add filters, as per oracle developer guide we have to use 'iSetup Framework' for BC4J, if we select type as 'iSetup Framework' then we don't have option to add filter parameters.
Any idea how to see existing iSetup interface repository values, Search shows the result, but we can't go in details? any idea to see this?
Oracle have good interface repository but most of them does not have option to filter, and update so I want to customize them by adding new interfaces with filterable and update option
Regards
Anil

First, be sure your properties file is in the root of the classpath.
The Messages.properties or Messages_en.properties should be in the WEB-INF/classes/ directory of the war or as a root file of a jar included in the classpath (WEB-INF/lib).
If it doesn't work, try adding a "/" before the file name. The classloader will try to find it as a root file of the classpath.
For example:
ResourceBundle messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Messages", locale);
If you are using sun appserver, the classloader hierarchy is configured by default from inside the war to outside, so it will search first in the WEB-INF/classes/Messages_en.properties and then it will search the file inside each jar file in WEB-INF/lib.
If you want more information, check the classloader hierarchy of the appserver you are using.
Hope it helps.
