Personalization: Title next to Oracle Logo in Self service page

Hello All,
We have a requirement to append instance name to the responsibility name coming up in self service page just next to Oracle Logo (which has been personalized and is coming from OA Media).
When I see the page source, the text next to Oracle Logo (responsibility name) is
<img src="/OA_MEDIA/mycompanyinfo.jpg" title="mycompanyinfo.jpg" border="0"></td><td nowrap><span title="XX Employee Self Service Salaried"><span class="x4b">XX Employee Self Service Salaried</span></span>
How can I personalize this item so that it includes instance name as well.
I am open to any other solution also like if the title is being set at run time to responsibility name and we have to set some profile option or whatever?
Help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You can use In-Context Branding for this.
You can refer Branding section in Developer guide. Personalization Consideration section will be useful for you if you are trying to achieve this using personalization.
Below is the Sample code from Developer guide to set Branding text dynamically.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAFormattedTextBean inContextTextBean =
(OAFormattedTextBean)createWebBean(pageContext, FORMATTED_TEXT_BEAN);
// Remember that you must pass a translated value obtained from message
198
dictionary,
// not a static String as shown here.
inContextTextBean.setText("Text for In-Context Branding");
// Ensures the correct CSS style is applied.
inContextTextBean.setStyleUsage(IN_CONTEXT_BRANDING_STYLE);
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
page.setInContextBranding(inContextTextBean);

DFF dependent LOV based on self service page

Hi there,
I have a question related to the usage of DFF in OA CU2 version. Our client has a requirement where he wants to enable DFF on a self-service page and attach an LOV to one segment by defining a value set. The requirement needs to restrict the values shown in the value set based on a parameter from the self service page. For e.g.: the value set query is defined to show all partySiteIds and locations for a partyId where partyId is a bind parameter which needs to be passed from the self service page. Is there a way to pass the form value of an OA page dynamically to the value set query which is tied to the DFF segment?
I believe Its do able on DFF in forms because LOV can reference block field value. How can we achieve this on an OA self service page. If this cannot be achieved then can you please suggest an efficient work around on how to incorporate this feature with minimal customization.
Thanks,
Praveen Koka

pmishra,
You need to find out whether the attribute you want to show using personalization is already there in the concerned VO. If its there then create the item and attach the VO & attribute using personalization.

Passing parameters dynamically from Self Service Page

Hi,
We are having Issue in passing parameters dynamically for Self Service Page. We are in the process of doing research on the same which is taking time. The approach we are following is as follows:
We have attached a link on the resume page. The link is in the form of a button. On the click of button the report is displayed. The steps are as given below:
1. Log in through the Application Developer Responsibility.
2. Created a SSWA plsql type function CD_TEST_SS with parameters as report=TESTING_PDF&PARAMETERS=P_PERSON_ID~617*DESFORMAT~PDF*]] and HTML call as OracleOASIS.RunReport.
3. Enable the profile option Personalize Self-Service Defn to Y.
4. Log in through the Manager Self Service Responsibility.
5. Create an item of type button Test using personalization feature and attach the function CD_TEST_SS to the Resume page.
6. The button Test appears on the form.
7. On clicking the Test button the 6i report is called. The rdf file is place on the server in appl/au/11.5.0/reports/US directory. The rdf name is TESTING_PDF.rdf.
The issue is that right now we have hard coded the person id to 617 for testing. We need to pass the parameters at runtime. i.e. the person id of the employee selected should be passed dynamically. Please let us know if you have any idea about this.
Thanks and Regards

?Embedding custom region as an extension to seeded self-service page.

Hello Tapash/All,
I am extending one of the self service pages to add extra fields on the page to capture information.
This is what I am planning to do based on the comments (from Tapash) that I got from my previous post.
1. Create a custom table with additional columns with the primary key column that I need to capture.
2. Create an EO, VO (based on the custom table) and AM.
3. Create a Region RN.xml (advanced table) for the additional fields (for INSERT, UPDATE and DISPLAY on Query)
4. Create a Controller CO on the Region (code to commit the trx in AMImpl)
5. Attach this RN.xml to the seeded page via personalization.
My question is:
Where and how will the entered data on the new region get inserted/updated into the custom table ? ( Since, I can't create an **Apply/Submit** button separately for the new region....because there is an ***Apply/Submit*** button already exists on that page to process the seeded data.)
Should I extend the Page controller to invoke the apply method from the AMImpl ?Please let me know and Thanks for all the help.

**********Message not found. Application: FND, Message Name: FND_VIEWOBJECT_NOT_FOUND. Tokens: VONAME = xxSuppRegVO; APPLICATION_MODULE = oracle.apps.pos.suppreg.server.SupplierRegAM;
Check if your custom AM is mentioned in the region xml file and not the seeded AM, because oracle.apps.pos.suppreg.server.SupplierRegAM , looks to be seeded AM.xxSuppRegVO is a custom VO, rite and you have not extended any seeded VO? If you have extended seeded VO, have you done substitution and uploaded jpx file on server?--Mukul

Unable to view actuals in Project Management's workplan (self-service page)

Hi,
I followed all steps you suggested, in details:
first of all I not enable workplan versioning like PJT R12 manual says at page 2-47.
1-Create a requisition for the project-task combination, then autocreate a purchase order and finally a receipt to create actuals in transactional system
2-Run PRC:interface supplier costs, at this time I found Actuals on PSI form
3-Run process "PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries" (for all projects)
4-Run process "PRC: Update Project Performance Data" on my project
and Actuals were not reported in self-service page
please let me know if I have failed some steps
Thank you,
Regards,
Nicola

This works in our environment...
PRC: Transaction Import     Source "Inventory"
PRC: Distribute Usage & Misc Costs
PRC: Update Project Summary Amounts
PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries
PRC: Update Project Perfomance Data
You should find actuals on the Reporting Tab within the project. To see the actuals on the Workplan, you also need to "Apply Latest Progress" on the Update Tasks screen, or "View Workplan Costs".

Self service pages not opening

Dear All
We are upgrading form 11.0.3 to R12, and they have build lots customized workflow and self service pages. The menus and functions are there, but still it is not opening and it says page cant be opened.
But employee self service responsibilty is opening fine. Do we need to do any setups or we have anything to move like we move the custom form and reports.
Kindly help me in this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Nakshathra

So no Self Service page is opening? If that is the case, then I guess some configuration issue with URL or something similar.
Is Apache log completely empty or it has the page request calls logged?

PCG Data Conceal / Hiding Field on HTML/Self-service page

Hi Expert,
Customer has a requirements to extend prevention logic of data conceal and hidding field to self-service page i.e. R12 Supplier & customer creation pages.
What would be the best approach to do this with GRC products?
Thanks for all responses.

Gan HJ

If the page is HTML based rather than a java form, then PCG cannot work. PCG works specifically for intercepting java form calls using the jinitiator applet.

For OIM 11g R2, we don't have any composer and all. You need to understand the OIM UI then you need to proceed with Customization.

Look and feel of self-service pages under Oracle Applications Manager (OAM)

Hi All,
After applying patches for upgrading the HRMS module from 12.1.3 to 12.1.5, look and feel of self-service pages under Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) changed means Buttons not appearing in proper manner. and look of pages are not in proper manner. This is happening for OAM self-service pages only.
Current HRMS patchset level : r12.hr_pf.b.delta.5
OS : RHEL 5.3 x86_64
Any idea please....
Thanks inadvance,
Regards,

You need to ask your DBA to delete the cached stylesheets in /OA_HTML/cabo/styles/cache/...
You will also need to delete your temporary internet files.
Once both and deleted, re-access the page and you will see the updated stylesheets.
(Note: individual users may need to delete their temporary internet files too else they will see an old version cached on their computer)
Explanation: In new releases Oracle may introduce new additional OAF components. Each OAF component is assigned a shortcode/id by browsers in alphabetical order and a stylesheet generated.
If a new item is introduced, the shortcode/ids will change. However if an old version of the stylesheet still exists it will apply the wrong style to the wrong component.
