Defining a template

Hi,
I apologize for the lengthy explanation. I don't know how to shorten it.
From all my reading in the forum, I believe that if my problem can be solved at all without redefining the whole report, it is with defining a template. If the template is the right solution, would someone be able to help me with the first steps? I can't seem to understand/find the very first thing to be done. We are using Discoverer (10.1.2.48.18) version 10.1.2.1.
There exists a report on income status that is based on over 10 folders. The report includes (among other fields) the debit cards and the receipts. Sometimes the receipt field is null because the receipt was not yet given, but sometimes it is due to a credit being given against the debit because of an error so there will never be a receipt.
Up until now the user would check each of those debit cards that do not yet have a receipt to see why there is no receipt. In order to save time and effort, what the user would now like in the report are the details of the credit so that it is immediately obvious why there is no credit for that specific debit. And those credit details are supposed to be under the row of the debit.
In the view arfg_ar_transactions, there is a field previous_customer_trx_id that gives the transaction_id of the credit, if it exists. With this id, I am supposed to get all the information and present it in the row under the row with the debit details. (The fields are basicaly the same).
I can define a custom folder using an sql to get the details from all the folders and then build a join of the customer_trx_id and the previous_customer_trx_id. I already built a partial sql and the few fields that I have are at the end of the debit row and are correct. The problem is that those fields are at the end of the row and not in a separate row underneath.
My understanding is that there is a way to define a template for the report so that the data that is now in one long row can be split into two rows. In other words, if those new fields that I defined begin with "prev_", I can define a template that will put those new fields beginning with "prev_" on a row under the first.
To begin with, most of the time the prev_ fields will be null. If I will not be able to hide the null row, then this will not be the solution anyway. Is it a possibility?
If this makes sense, how can I begin to define the template?
Thank you.

Strange Behavior In Defining A Template Interface -- Bug/RFE

Hello.
This is a bit of a bug. I wanted to define a "template" interface. If you follow this sequence of steps, you may see this odd behavior:
In a class diagram, insert a new Interface.
Add a template parameter to that interface. Now, the display of the object has not changed.
Right-click the interface, and under "Show", select "As Icon".
Right-click again and under "Show" select "As Non-Iconic Class".
Now the interface is displayed as a "Template Class" on the diagram, with its parameters visible. This comes about since the Modeling Palette only contains a tool to draw a "Template Class", which creates a class only and not an interface.
Is this behavior somehow intentional or expected?
Is there any bug reporting tool for such reports? Or is posting on this forum sufficient to constitute feedback on a bug?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I am not aware of another notation: the display given by JSE (after making it display the parameters) is all I would expect -- the UML superstructure just says that a templatable element has the dashed-outline box listing its parameters. Now, the display of the parameters can be suppressed, but I would have expected in that case a more direct "Hide or Show Template Parameters" option for the element. And in fact, I'd say that a display option like this is really what this boils down to: there's no option to hint JSE to display the parameters; and you'd have to go a round-about fashon to make them appear.
And my display does still show <<interface>> after geting the parameters to appear.
Thanks!

Define iView template for role upload

Hi
We maintain our user roles in the BI system and use the role upload function in the portal. When a role containing eg. a BI report is uploaded to the portal an Iview for the report is automatically generated based on an iView template. How can I define which template the portal should use for generating the iViews?
Thanks
Morten

Hello Morten,
The templates are defined by the role upload and cannot be changed.
Regarding BI 7 Please see note: 1121962.
Also this are the thing you can configure in the role upload:

Dbx forward reference not defined (for templated variable)

I get the 'forward reference not defined' message very frequently when working with the Forte 6.1 C++ compiler and workshop. On the one occasion the variable wasn't an instance of a templated class, doing module <file>.cc fixed the problem. But what do I do for templated variables? Issuing the module command on the header file where they are defined doesn't work. It's very annoying, because it means that most of the time I can't inspect templated variables in the debugger.

Can I set up a template for importing images in QT Pro?

I would like to set up a process where I define a "template" of how I want a QT Pro movie to be created by importing a bunch of image files in a folder. For example, I would specify it to import image1,image2, image3 etc. that would all be in a folder. Once imported into QT I would define various time points in the movie with names like, Part1, Part2 etc. Then I would save this out using a particular compression choice. Now I would like to take that template and point it at another folder whose image names would be the same (i.e. image1, image2, etc.) but the images would actually be different pictures. This way I could create a series of movies that all have the same compression and time point names (I think in QT these are called chapters), but are actually movies of different things. Is this possible with QT Pro? If not, which QT creation tool would allow me to do this?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

How to call a Sub template in BI Publisher for the same Loop

Hi,
I'm trying to achieve a multi template invoice customer facing Report output by using sub templates in BI publisher. I've stored the Template2.rtf file in Local machine temp directory and calling it in the main RTF. My Scenario is as described below:
<?import:file:///C:\temp\Template2.rtf?>
<? For-each@section: HEADERS?>
****Contents of header data and it's line***
<?start@last-page:body?><?end body?>
***last page sub totals****
**in next page i'm calling another .rtf file which is the second This template should repeat for each header transaction**
<?call-template:Template2?>
<?end for-each?>
While trying to preview the output from Bi publisher Template, either it goes to infinite loop or it hangs up with error.
Am i getting it wrong? for the Template2.rtf which i'm calling has contents <?template: template2?> <? For-each: cust_headers?> ** logic** <?end-for-each?> <?end template?>
So for a given transaction i need to print two templates. All the data will be under <header> group. Please help me out if i'm missing something in the above.

Do you get a "Template invoked but not defined error"? If so, the reason is because you the template can not be found...
In your case, you have defined the template as:
<?template: template2?> <? For-each: cust_headers?> ** logic** <?end-for-each?> <?end template?>
However, in your call statement, you have (upper case T): <?call-template:*T*emplate2?>
Change that and see if it resolves your error. If not provide details about the error.

How to trigger a page break for a template for a given condition...

Hello Experts,
In my MAIN window in smartforms, I have defined a template that has 10 line items. Now, what I want
is that if my line items exceeds 10 line items, it will trigger again the same page. Below is the hierarchy
of MAIN window:
-MAIN WINDOW
          -TEMPLATE(HAS 10 ROWS/LINES)
               -LOOP COMMAND
                    -PROGRAM LINE(This has a counter that is being incremented for every loop)
                    -LINE1(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 1
                    -LINE2(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 2
                    -LINE3(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 3
                    -LINE4(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 4
                    -LINE5(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 5
                    -LINE6(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 6
                    -LINE7(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 7
                    -LINE8(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 8
                    -LINE9(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 9
                    -LINE10(HOLDS 10 TEXT) - only prints if counter = 10
What I want to achieve is that if current loop exceeds 11, then call again MAIN window to serve
the remaining line items. I cannot use a TABLE here since there are frames/boxes that needs to be considered.
I hope you cna help me guys. Thank you and take care!

Hi Viraylab,
In the main window
Declare the variable name in the global definitions..
After the loop.
Create the command node
General attribute : go to new page i.e page 1.
Conditions : s.no = 6 .
Create the text node for the line items to be displayed.
Create the program lines :
serial = serial + 1.
if serial = 6.
serial = 1.
next_page = next_page + 1.
endif.               " if serial = 6.

Error Message in UIX Editor when using a custom parameter to a template

In my UIX template, I have a custom attribute "selectedTab", as advised in the documentation:
<type base="ui:pageLayout">

<namedChild name="topHead"/>
<attribute name="selectedTab" javaType="int"/>
</type>
I use it in the UIX file, again as advised by the doc:
<myTemplate:SalmonTrap title="SalmonTrap - Live Accounts" xmlns:myTemplate="salmontrap" selectedTab="0">
It works but I get the following message when I compile or try to GUI edit:
Error(0,0): Attribute selectedTab not defined on element myTemplate:SalmonTrap
What do I do wrong?

Eric,
That should work and not show the usage of selectedTab as an error. (You may need to restart JDev after creating the template for it to work right.) In fact, when you select the SalmonTrap component in the structure pane, the property inspector should actually show you that selectedTab is an attribute you can set. I can make this work.
One other thing to check: is the UIT in the same project as the UIX file? I'm not positive this is required for the design-time to work, but it may be.

OIM 11g: Adding a new tag to notification template

Hi:
OIM 11g comes with some pre-defined notification templates, like 'Generated Password Template', 'Reset Password Template'.
You can see those thru the admin console, System Management, Notifications.
I would like to add a new Tag to one of those notifications, like 'Generated Password'. It currently includes the User Login and Password. I would like to include the User Name to the notification Body.
Can I do this?? How can I accomplish this??
I try to edit the template, and in the documentation, they mention the Event Name and Available variables. I don't see this 'Available Variables' to select from when I edit the notification template.
I am using OIM 11g 11.1.1.5.
Thank you for your help..

Modify the OOTB notification Template for including a few extra attributes
-Identify the template and the event type which you want to modify. For example let’s assume we will modify the OOTB ‘Request Creation’, the corresponding xml for this event type is in the following MDS path:
\metadata\iam-features-request\notification\RequestCreationEvent.xml
Note: The path as specified in the OIM11G documentation might be incorrect
-Modify this xml to point to a custom resolver class as follows:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Events xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../notification/metadata/NotificationEvent.xsd">
<EventType name="RequestCreation">
<Resolver class="com.iam.notification.CustomNotificationResolver">
<Param Name="Request" DataType="X2-Entity" EntityName="Request"/>
</Resolver>
</EventType>
</Events>-Import the xml back to the MDS database
-Create a jar (custom resolver class) and a plugin.xml, bundle them up as a zip and register the plug-in using ‘ant/API’s’ as you want
-Modify the OOTB notification templates as required
-Send email to verify if your changes are being reflected
You can create your own customized templates based on the OOTB one but the ‘Resolver Class’ would not be able to pick up this new template because the only purpose of the resolver class is to override a couple of methods (‘getAvailableData’ & ‘getReplacedData’), so that you can add some extra attributes to be read in your template, but the ‘Template Name’ remains the same as it is hard-coded.
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import oracle.iam.notification.impl.NotificationEventResolver;
import oracle.iam.notification.vo.NotificationAttribute;
public class CustomNotificationResolver implements NotificationEventResolver {
     public List<NotificationAttribute> getAvailableData(String eventType, Map<String, Object> params) throws Exception {
          return null;
     public HashMap<String, Object> getReplacedData(String eventType, Map<String, Object> params) throws Exception {
          HashMap<String, Object> resolvedData = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         resolvedData.put("requestId", params.get("RequestId"));
         resolvedData.put("requestType", params.get("RequestType"));
         resolvedData.put("userId", params.get("UserId"));
         resolvedData.put("userName", params.get("Name"));
         resolvedData.put("baseUrl", params.get("BaseURL"));
         resolvedData.put("myCustomField1", "myCustomField1");
         resolvedData.put("myCustomField2", "myCustomField2");
         resolvedData.put("myCustomField3", "myCustomField3");
          return resolvedData;

How to filter records in EIS drill through using template SQL

Hi,
I'm looking for an option to filter records in EIS drill through using Template SQL.
For eg: If we user runs drill through on 2011, it should restrict display of Jan & Feb and should display records for other months.
I tried using NOT IN clause, but got an error.
Can any one help me in understanding how this needs to be defined in template SQL
Thanks in advance

Hi Glenn,
I'm able to filter the records for specific periods.
However, I'm facing another problem now.
When I try to run drill through I get 'OLAP_error (1192025): Unknown Error: Not a valid Entry' error.
This is happening when I include condition as ((($$ab.ACCOUNT_CODE-COLUMN $$) IN ($$Account-VALUE$$)))
Here, ACCOUNT_CODE is field from Account dimension table and 'Account' is the name of the dimension.
If I remove this statement and run drill through, it runs but shows data for all accounts (irrespective of the Account selected)resulting in incorrect data.
Our RDBMS is Oracle. Can you please help me with this
Thanks

Steps to Upgrade PT8.49 to 8.50 Manually without using an Upgrade Template

Folks,
Hello. I am Upgrading PeopleTools 8.49 to 8.50 Manually without using an Upgrade Template because I cannot download an Upgrade Template from Oracle.
Upgrading is actually add/drop some tables/views in PeopleTools 8.49 Database using Chang Assistant 8.50.
According to the document "Enterprise PeopleTools 8.50 Upgrade" Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, after configure Change Assistant 8.50 and EMF, we need to creat an Upgrade job and run some scripts.
I have configured Change Assistant 8.50 and EMF. EMF run successfully. After that, I don't know the exact steps to do in Change Assistant.
Can any folks tell me the steps to upgrade PT8.49 to 8.50 manually in Chang Assistant without using an Upgrade Template after configure Change Assistant and EMF ?
Thanks.

Do you know what is Change Assistant ? It is running job defined from template and indicate when step has to be done manually. But Change Assistant itself is nothing but an assistant, it does not build record, it does not run DMS, it does not run sql script, for all those Change Assistant is calling corresponding tools (AppDesigner, DataMover, SQL*Plus). Consequently, if you don't have template, you should do yourself every single step usually ran by the PsCA, but you won't need PsCA itself, just run manually whatever indicated in the doc (basically replace "PsCA" by "manually").
As I already told you earlier, it is tedious, but works fine if you pay attention enough.
HTH,
Nicolas.

Document created in a workflow based on a custom template is empty

Hello,
we have a big issue creating a document based on a defined custom template in a workflow. The following steps were made to achieve that:
1. Adding a custom document type in Website Settings
2. Creating an Excel file and uploading it as a template
3. Allowing custom types for document list
4. Adding the type to my document list as default
Site Wokflow:
1. Create Action: Create list item with the created document type and Name "test"
When i run the workflow, SharePoint creates the document but the document is empty. If I create a document manually in the same document list, the document is created fine.
These steps were performed in several tutorials with older SP Versions. So what happened in SP 2013?
Thank you for help

Hi Victoria Xia,
I checked them again, the Template is specified in the content type of the document library, the workflow is creating a document using that content type, and will bring all the metadata as mapped in the workflow.
but when I open the document created by the workflow it will be blank document, and the content type name is the correct content type (my custom content type) it is like its not using the template specified.
when I click new document inside the library itself directly, it is opening a new document with the specified template.
where could be the issue here?
Thanks

Saving fillable form fields to be created as a template

Hi, I'm hoping someone can tell me if Adobe Acrobat Pro 8/9/10 has the option to save all Fillable Data fields such as Text Fields, Check Boxes, Signatures, Dates ect. and save these data elements to be imported onto similar or exact PDF Layouts so that it can save me the time to insert every single one of these data fields, draw each field neatly, then name each field into their locations on the form. So basically what I'm seeking is similar to LiveCycle where you can 'select all' and then save all the inserted data as a template. I'm really trying to stay away from LiveCycle so I'm hoping Adobe Acrobat can achieve this. I've done extensive research and have only come up with 'replacing pages' so basically the pdf would be inserted 'under' the fillable data field layers. Another thing I have come up with is simply select all Data Fields and copy and pasting these onto the PDF, which works nicely, but this requires a copy of the PDF. Hope this makes sense! Thanks!

I think that George's point is that the Replace Pages functionality would seem to do exactly what you want. You would copy the form you call a template (whether this can be done with templates directly I do not know), open it, then use replace pages to insert the new form you have. The fields that were part of the "template" are retained, but the basic page displayed would be of the new file. You could then move the form fields around to where you want them. If that is not what you want to do, then more of an explanation would help -- but it seems like what you are asking and what George was implying. As to the direct use of a template I can not answer that one since I do not use templates. It may be that you can define a template as the basic form with the fields you want -- but you may know more about templates than I do.
