DBMS_JAVA Execute for PUBLIC , is it needed in 11.5.10.2 environment

in my environment EXECUTE on DBMS_JAVA is granted to PUBLICI know this is quite important package beacuse it provides a PL/SQL interface for accessing database functionality from Java and apps should be using this package quite often.
By default in 11i you will find public having execute on DBMS_JAVA. Please read below document on securing oracle apps and check if oracle says something about retrieiving it.
Best Practices for Securing the E-Business Suite [ID 189367.1].
Also you can log a SR with oracle to get an answer on it.
Thanks,

How to enable detail view interactive report as default for public user?

Hello all,
I'm currently developing a search results page.
I'm trying to do a nice view instead of a default table like view from the interactive reports. So in this case i enabled the detail view so i could make fancy designs.
all worked well and looked neat but however when i pass value from my search page using IR_ROWFILTER and clear the results page using page_no,RIR, it brings me to the interactive reports result page with the default table like view.
i have to press the detail view to get it. i tried saving it as default but it wont work. this issue is for public user.
if i make the page requires authentication, and save the detail view as default i would not have any problem. i could search and it will straightly bring to the detail view of the search page.
of course the other reason i found is because im using the IR_ROWFILTER and clearing page using page_no,RIR..without it,it works well but i need it coz im doing a a search result. i need to send search text from another page and put it in the filter in the search page. i would need to use RIR to clear it for searching again.
is this a limitation for public user? it doesnt happened for authenticated user though..
how can i make this view as default for public user?

Flip the report into Detail view on page load using an Page Load dynamic action with the following Execute JavaScript Code true action:
gReport.data.view('DETAIL');

Do you really need this to be an IR? Other than the detail layout, do you require any of the interactive features? If not, try using a standard report with a custom report template.

BODS : Datastore options for SAP R/3 - need clarity for use

Hi All.
Another request to understand the datastore optiono n BOXI 3.1 BODS existing installation.
We are trying to pull a new table from SAP R/3 into BODS and we find that ABAP program is not getting generated as expected. And terminates. When we tested a simple workflow.
While creating a new datastore for SAP R/3 Source :
When we look at the datastore we find the following options for R3 Source ;
ABAP Execution option :
Execute preloaded
Generate and execute
Under data transfer method we find ;
Shared directory
Direct download
FTP
Custom transfer
Then we have working directory on sap server
local directory
generated ABAP Directory
Am testing a simple workflow of pulling data from SAP R/3 in a dev machine.
But am not understanding.
which option of ABAP Execution, and data transfer , path would work in co-ordination.
Because when i say direct download and say generate and execute it throws error.
Can anyone help me with combinations of the options to choose for a R/3 source. And the implications thereof.
I had created a folder under local bods server D:\Bodi. And given the path for data transfer.
But the files are not getting generated for whatsoever reasons.
Any advise on this would be helpful.
Also found a bit unusual, that there was no button to test the connection to be correct or not, a TEST connection button is not there. Which i felt, could be included.
Note : on the existing production system, we have chosen execute preloaded; shared directory on sap server. and shared that folder path for the user and given full rights. But while we try to do the same on the dev machine a test before transporting on production, a simple workflow does not work.
would like to know what settings on sap server, really affect the data store options on the BODS
thanks

Indeed, BODS <> SAP connectivity can be tricky.
For a development environment, I suggest you select the option "Generate and execute" for your "ABAP Execution Option." What this means is that DS will create, on the fly, small-ish ABAP programs. These ABAP programs will be written, in plain text, to a local directory on the DS job server, in the folder specified in "Generated ABAP Directory". You can see them in there after an attempted job execution, assuming the job involves the creation of an ABAP program. The ABAP program name is specified in the properties of an ABAP data flow, under Options > ABAP Program Name. If you can't, perhaps the DS job server process doesn't have full rights to that folder - ? After being generated on-the-fly, they'll be transferred to SAP to execute. The SAP user you use to connect to SAP must have sufficient rights to upload-and-execute these ABAP programs, and that's a fairly substantial set of rights. What's required is documented in the BODS supplement for SAP. Often, to get things running, your friendly local Basis admin will grant SAP_ALL to the DS user, to see what rights are being invoked.
Once all that jazz is working, you need to get the data back. There are a number of ways to do this. The method of data transfer is specified in "Data transfer method," where, ignoring "Custom transfer," you have three choices:
1) Direct Download: easiest and slowest. This method tells SAP to attempt to stick data in the client-side folder specified in "Local directory." Try this first.
2) Shared folder: This is recommended when you have SAP being hosted on a Windows box. Basically: you set "Working directory on SAP Server" and "Data Services path to the shared directory" to point to the same folder. SAP uses the "Working directory on SAP Server" to find this folder, and DS uses the other setting. So, for instance, if you were going to use the Shared folder method, you could set "Working directory on SAP Server" to "E:\BODS_Transfer", and, assuming E:\BODS_Transfer was shared-out as "BODS_Transfer", you could set "Data Services path to the shared directory" to
dev12.somecompany.com\BODS_Transfer . Then, you'd need to setup all the relevant security, as both SAP and DS need rights to read and write files in this folder.
3) FTP (this is the method I usually use): SAP writes the "transport files" you're after (i.e., the data) in the folder specified in "Working directory on SAP Server". Then, you need to establish ftp connectivity to that folder from the DS job server's perspective, which you do by entering the ftp host name and the path to that folder in "FTP host name" and "FTP relative path to the SAP working directory". In my opinion, the "relative" business is a little confusing, and I just typically enter the full ftp path, beginning the path w/ a forward slash, like "/usr/sap/tmp/BOBJ" or something like that. You also need to obtain a separate username and password for the ftp connectivity. Note that this name and password has NOTHING to do with the SAP username and password; you're just setting-up DS to act as an ftp client. I strongly encourage you to test ftp connectivity by using a regular ftp client from the DS job server and attempt to connect to your ftp host using the username and password you were given, and attempting to fetch some sample test file. If you can't do this, manually, then DS won't be able to do it, either.
Best wishes,
Jeff Prenevost

How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app?

I'm a new smartphone user. How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app - which one is best...prefer free of course...does it work from home or do I have to be on the road to access gps function? Thanks!!

There is a built in GPS and map function that provides basic navigation using Google Maps. It's hard to miss right there on the home screen. However, it is maunal; you have to tap "next" when you reach each waypoint, and it does not provide spoken directions. It also downloads maps in real time, so it can be slow if you have a slow data connection, and it uses a lot of data if you are on a limited data plan. It is excellent for walking and public transportation, less useful in a vehicle unless you have a navigator sitting in the car.
There are several commercial GPS apps that you can buy from the App Store, but no free ones. Just search the App Store for "GPS".

Setting up access points for public access

Okay, here's the situation. I have a PowerMac G4/1.25GHz dual processor running Server X 10.3.9 with four Mac clients (a small law office). Up until recently, everyone had also been running (client) 10.3.9, but I started upgrading some of them to 10.4 (currently 10.4.5). When I did this, they started running into problems with Word sometimes giving a "network or file permission error" when attempting to save documents to the server. After weeks of posting questions to Word support and trying everything in the book that I could think of, I found Apple recently posted what appears to be the answer to this (article 302979, "Microsoft Office applications fail to save to a server volume." The problem? I have all four users logging into the same account on the server, and when one of them logs out, it zaps everything in a Microsoft-created temp folder on the server, including temp files created by open documents created by other clients. Sheesh.
I had everyone set to use the same account because they have no need of document security -- everyone should be able to get into everyone else's files on the server, period. So, because of this snafu, I've created separate accounts for each of the users. My problem now is that, if user "X" creates a file or folder on the server, user "Y" cannot modify it because it is created as read-only. Strangely, if someone modifies an existing file, it doesn't change the user rights at all -- not sure why.
I'll admit to being a bit of a novice with Server X but am familiar with parent/child folder permissions -- I think I've got everything set right, but I must obviously be missing something. Here's what I've got setup, and what I've tried. If anyone can point out how I've got this setup improperly, I really need to get this fixed... thanks.
I have a single sharepoint ("workfiles"). I used the "public" folder as an example, and set the owner to "root" and the group to "staff". Further, I set the owner, group and everyone privileges to "read & write". I've also tried setting the group to "admin". All the individual user accounts I've set are also setup as admin users. I've tried setting each users's primary group as "staff (20)" or "admin (80)". I've copied all these privileges to all enclosed items, which does reset everything to public access, but as soon as someone creates a new folder or file, that folder/file becomes private to that user (it shows up with the creator's username as "owner" (r&w), group as "admin (read-only), and others as "read-only" as well.
PS: If upgrading the server to Server X 10.4 would help, I'm sure I can arrange that.

In our law firm, the server (10.4.4), we have set access to read/write access so staff can open client files/folders, edit then and close, etc. That seems to be working okay. Before the tech worked on permissions, if someone created a letter another staff member could open it, but it was read-only.
The problem we are having is that if a file that is clicked on stationery pad and we want to edit it, it will not allow us to. For example, if we need to edit our letterhead that normally comes up as an untitled document, if I unclick the stationery pad box, it unclicks, but it still comes up as an untitled document. I even tried to unclick a stationery pad on a document that I created before the server upgrade and it wouldn't let me.
If I create a brand new document and put it on stationery pad, it comes up untitled as it should. If another user on another desktop wants to make changes, they unclick the stationery pad box, but when they open it, it comes up untitled and in checking get info, the stationery pad is selected.
The tech set it up as follows:
Share Points and All tabs:
General tab: box to share this item and its contents is clicked
Access tab: owner, group and everyone have read/write privileges
If select dial at bottom to propagate permissions, all boxes are checked, except for access control list, which is shaded.
I cannot drag/add anything to the control list and the pencil and the minus sign is shaded
Protocol tab: Both boxes, share item using AFP and Allow AFP guest users are clicked. But for better security in reading the article, this should be unchecked.
Also under the protocol tab: the inherit permission from parent radio dial is clicked, not the use standard POSIX behavior.
What are we missing?
Thanks, Cheryl

Java Card 2.2.2 draft is out for public review

A draft for the upcoming release of the Java Card Specification is available for public review.
The Java Card 2.2.2 Specification will provide numerous enhancements to the award-winning Java Card platform. In particular it will include specific support for contactless communication and ID cards :
* enhancements to ease the management and increase interoperability of contactless cards.
* additional cryptography and security features
* utility APIs for memory-efficient applet development
Java Card technology v2.2.2 is ready for the next generations of smart card standards, and is fully backward-compatible with previous versions.
New features in Java Card 2.2.2 :
* Utility APIs for TLV, BCD, short, int
* ISO7816-based Extended length APDU support
* Support for up to 20 logical channels
* External memory access API
* Multiple Interfaces management
* Additional cryptography algorithms : HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, SHA-256 and Korean Seed
* Signature with message recovery
* Partial message digest
* Standardized Biometrics API
Please direct your comments on this draft at [email protected] Feedback received before December 15th will be considered for the final version of the specification. For more information on the Java Card Platform Specification v2.2.2, Public Review Draft, refer to the release notes on http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/RELEASENOTES_jcspecsp.html

The Installer and the Applet Deletion Manager are implemented in the JCRE and GlobalPlatform. On-card the Card Manager manages the content management, communication and the related security. JCRE specifies how it has to handle installation and deletion, but leaves room for different implementations. To the outside world, on a GP card, the Installer/ADM is the Card Manager with a specific AID.
Installer and ADM are optional. For instance a Java Card Static product does not need an Installer/ADM.
JCOP cards have the Installer/ADM fully implemented. It uses the GP functionality. The CM has to be selected to install or delete a package/applet.

Maximum recommended file size for public distribution?

I'm producing a project with multiple PDFs that will be circulated to a goup of seniors aged 70 and older. I anticipate that some may be using older computers.
Most of my PDFs are small, but one at 7.4 MB is at the smallest size I can output the document as it stands. I'm wondering if that size may be too large. If necessary, I can break it into two documents, or maybe even three.
Does anyone with experience producing PDFs for public distribution have a sense of a maximum recommended file size?
I note that at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ the Internal Revenue Service hosts 2,012 PDFs, of which only 50 are 4 MB or larger.
Thanks!

First Open the PDF Use Optimizer to examine the PDF.
a Lot of times when I create PDF's I end up with a half-dozen copies of the same font and fontfaces. If you remove all the duplicates that will reduce the file size tremendously.
Another thing is to reduce the dpi of any Graphicseven for printing they don't need to be any larger than 200DPI.
and if they are going to be viewed on acomputer screen only no more than 150 DPI tops and if you can get by with 75DPI that will be even better.
Once you set up the optimized File save under a different name and see what size it turns out. Those to thing s can sometimes reduce file size by as much as 2/3's.

Executable for report in PDF format?

Hi All,
I have my XML template and RTF template ready.
Now I need to merge them using concurrent program so that I can see the output in PDF.
I need an executable for the concurrent Program.
Which one I need to register as the executable?
Any pointers on the executables are welcome.
Thanks in Advance

There is an alternet approach available in BIP, by using Desktop Publisher tool you can easily get the output in PDF format and other formats also. The tool is coming with BI Publisher installable enterprise edition.
APIs:
===
FileInputStream fiS = new FileInputStream("rtfTemplate.rtf");
RTFProcessor rtfP = new RTFProcessor(fiS);
// Set the output XSL
rtfP.setOutput("xslGeneratedByRTF.xsl");
rtfP.process();
FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
// set XML input file
processor.setData("xmlInput.xml");
// set XSL input file
processor.setTemplate("xslGeneratedByRTF.xsl");
// set the PDF output format
processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
processor.setOutput("output.pdf")
Thanks

Can I generate an executable for OS9 using LV7.1 in OSX

Hi,
I recently upgraded my G4 Mac to OSX and LV7.1.
Some of the machines that I'm developing executables for still run OS9.
So, what I would like to know is if is a way I can generate executables for OS9 from LV7.1?
Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
Sorry this is not possible. ClassicMacOS is only supported until LV7.0 so you need to save your VIs in LV7.1 explicit for LV7.0 and use a LV7 in your Classic environment. Take the ''for previous version'' saved VIs to Classic LV7 and build the app there... et voilà ...you will have a stand alone for the good old MacOS987. What other environment lets you compile stand alones for two entirely different platforms?
Thanks for supporting LV on the Apple !

Report for public access

Hello there,
I would like to create reports based on specific projects. But when I open the template within PWA, it doesn't show my lready published projects. Why not?
Further I'd like to make the reports available for public, but it seems that I am restricted to the users that are registred in my o365 domain. Wouldn't it be easier to share reports for public? Or do my users even have to have an project account to view
those files?
Thank you for helping with my beginner-questions.
Regards,
Peter

Peter,
Yes, I agree that it is difficult to convince the organization on the licensing part, but i believe it is the same model for SAP or any other enterprise system. My understanding is that, as long as the report is not "automatic", and is manually
genarted and displayed, users will not need a license to view the data. As I mentioned, you might want to discuss the options with your local Microsoft Rep., as, I am not a MS Product Licensing Expert.
As far as building the report, please take a look at Paul Mather's blog: https://pwmather.wordpress.com/. He has several nice posts about BI. Once the report is built, I would think it would be just a metter of displaying it on the BI Site and then
sharing it with appropritely licensed part of the org,
Cheers,

How to create an executable for Windows or Unix

Hi,
I would like to know how to do to create an executable, an application which is able to work under windows for exemple without installing a JVM ?
(When you download a program which was writing in java on internet it is an executable. You don't need a JVM on your system to run it. I would like to do the same thing...)
thanks

Hi C,
I think they use JToExe.exe to compile the java project but I think they need a JVM to run the application. I just wanted to know if it is possible to run an application without JVM after any compilation. When we find an executable, most of the time is it a Visual project ? (in c or other langage ?) I will work later for a company which develop a new application in Java. To put it on the market they need to do an executable.
Thanks for your time

HasOwnProperty only for public?

Trying to optionally call a method only if it exists:
private function _upload():void {
// first see if we have any custom handling that needs to be
done...
if(this.hasOwnProperty('upload') && this['upload']()
== false) {
// custom handling told us to stop processing!
return;
For some reason upload() only gets called if it is public. Is
this how it is supposed to work, or are the names mangled or
something? Is there some other way to test for a method that works
for protected/private methods/variables?
Thanks.

Remember, everyone who posts here doesn't just automagically

Error R32762: # Error: Error looking for resource specification. Need 'resource' or 'type'

I have succesfully ported some of my developments to CS5. I have used the following procedure:
- create new project by using dollyX
- add source code
- fix the errors
But now I have encountered an error I can't figure out.
Error 1 error R32762: # Error: Error looking for resource specification. Need 'resource' or 'type'. C:\Program Files\Adobe\CS5\InDesign Product SDK\source\public\interfaces\architecture\IPMUnknown.h 47
Any suggestions?
Im running a windows7 machine, visual studio 2008

Pectora:
   First of all, I'm assuming that you are receiving this error on a Win box. If on a Mac, then your problems may stem from something else altogether.
   It's a bit complex to cover in an email. My recommendation is that you open up a couple of the sample plugins and look at them. Pay close attention to the Properties page of the project. Look at the Resources field and command line, and also pay attention to the Pre-Link and Post-build fields. Once they are looking right, highlight your .FR file and click the Properties icon. Be sure that all four lines have something in them. Model their input after what you see in the sample plugins.
   Finally, are you getting this error when the ODFRC compiler is running, or when the project is getting linked? The former could indicate a problem with your .FR file, the latter is more likely to be solved by my first suggestion.
R,
John

Interface to SAP Financials for Public Sector

Hi Team
We have a request for interface of SAP CTE to SAP Financials for "Public Sector". Could you let us know if you have completed any such implementation and the additional integration effort needed, if any.
Regards
Sunder

Hi Sunder,
I am not aware of any such project. Technically this might be possible, but I would expect that a public sector company has additional requirements compared to others, like concurrent employment, funds management integration, etc. Without knowing the details I would assume a lot of potential issues in such a project.
Best regards, Reinhard

SAP Procurement for Public Sector package

Hi All,
does anyone have any useful info on what is actually included in the SAP Procurement for Public Sector package?
I've read the solution brief which is really general and doens't actually give any details.
What I'm after is to know which components of SRM are actually included in this licensing package?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'm part of the IBU for Public Sector, specializing in the SAP PPS Package.
HIGH-LEVEL PACKAGE CONTENTS (a.k.a. BOM):
- SAP SRM (current GA release based on 5.0; Q4 08 planned release is based on 7.0)
- SAP Document Builder (current GA release v 2.0; Q4 08 planned release has v 3.0)
- SAP NW Records Management/Case Management (rights to use for any procurement scenarios - HR, FI, other uses require additional licenses)
- Enhancements to these components and SAP ERP 2005 that are known in the technical component list as Government Procurement 1.0 (in the current GA release) or Government Procurement 7.0 (in the Q4 08 release).
COMPONENT EXPLANATIONS:
- When we say "SAP SRM", generally we mean "the combined package of engines that were formerly sold as single components", including Strategic Sourcing, Bidding Engine, Auctions, MDM Catalog (only - not all MDM is included), etc. Legally, I cannot say "all SRM components" because the list may be changed periodically, but I cannot think of a particular exception either.
- SAP Document Builder is currently not sold separately.
- SAP NetWeaver Records and Case Management are not the ones used in CRM - these are the standard delivered apps for Records and Case Management with SAP, used to accomplish several PPS scenarios.
CLARIFICATIONS:
NOTE1: product PPS should NOT be referred to as "SAP Government Procurement", which is a retired product name. The term "Government Procurement" today only refers to the technical set of enhancements, and is an internal convention within SAP, so you won't see it referred to normally.
NOTE2: eSourcing is not the same as SRM. eSourcing is not part of PPS, and is not part of the license for PPS. We do not recommend a customer to buy both eSourcing and PPS, since they address different needs and pains. e.g., PPS should be considered when integration with ERP is important.
NOTE3: ERP 6.0 is required for PPS customers, but SRM 'core' does not have that dependency. It's too long to explain here, but suffice to say you wouldn't expect to be able to run an XBOX game on your 1986 Nintendo console. We cannot run most new PPS functionality on older ERP releases for much of the same reason: we have been building new functionality as quickly as NetWeaver gave us the tools to do so. If this stuff were easy it've been done by now - by SAP and our competitors.
However, rest assured ERP PRs (and SOs) can still start the process as well as SRM Shopping Carts and POs are replicated to ERP so follow-on GR/IR can be done in ERP.
Enhancements have been made to ERP 6.0 as well, including in the base release, and in EhP 3 and EhP 4 of ERP 6.0, which will be important with the Q4 08 PPS planned release, to enable signifcant new complex line item and pricing functionality and other features. And again - you can run Classic + Extended Classic using the Ext Classic BADI.
NOTE4: ERP 6.0 is not part of the PPS BOM and no ERP 6.0 rights are included. Customers must have Business Suite or other ERP user licenses in conjunction.
NOTE5: Customers with SRM licenses today may convert their license to PPS. This is done on a case-by-case basis, so SRM customers in Public Sector are not required to migrate or convert - contact your SAP AE for details if you need more information.
For more information, you can contact me at: FirstnamedotlastnameatSAPdotcom.
Rules prohibit me from typing the address into the answer, but I am the Field Services contact for partners in the Americas for this product so it's appropriate in this case to contact me directly.
Thanks to SDN regular Andreas Muno for sending me your Post so that I could respond.
