Display a New External Application

I added a new External Application and set it to display by default in the External Applications portlet. But, for existing users that have customized (or set up SSO logins) the existing applications, the new applications are not showing up. If a user clicks "Customize", it lists the new application, and they can make it display by checking "Display". But, they wouldn't know to do that if we didn't tell them that it's there.
How can I force new external applications to display in an existing External Applications portlet for current users?
Thanks.

hi,
this is the correct behavior for any portlet. as soon as there are customizations/personalizations the user's view cannot be changed anymore. i can see 2 different possibilities how to solve that problem:
1. disable all personalization capabilities for that page/portlet so that users can no longer modify their view of the portlet
2. add an announcement portlet (richt text, etc.) next to the external apps portlet to notify users on newly added things.
hope this helps.
regards,
christian

  • Access Display Profile from external application

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get an external servlet to edit channel properties in the DisplayProfile of a user through the DSAME SSO api.
    The only way I see how to do this is to retrieve the full xml document from DSAME. But when I feed this document to xerces 1.4.4 the DOMParser is unable to create a DOM out of it becaust the file "jar://resources/psdp.dtd" could not be found. I tried turning off all sorts of validation features. This would not help.
    Is there some otherway to update the properties of a channel for a user, making use of the DSAME api?

    You can create the xml to modify the channel (look at the 817-5319 Developer's guide, code sample 8-3)and then run the "/opt/SUNWps/bin/dpadmin add|modify ..." to update the channel, you can run that command from java using the method RunTime.exec (String command)... read http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html for information of that method.

  • Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

    Fellow developer:
    In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
    The code is as follows:
    data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
    call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
    exporting
      navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
      navigation_mode = '1'.            ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
    The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
    In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
    1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
    2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
    If you know the answer, please advise.
    Thanks

  • HT5019 MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Can I have more than one application displayed at a time?

    I would like to have my MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Question, how can I have more than one application displayed at a time? IE: I would like email on one monitor, Finder on my laptop, and iTunes on the other. Possible?
    With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.
    I am using the HDMI and the mini HDMI connectors.

  • Make Firefox open URLs passed from external applications in new tabs

    I upgraded Firefox (Mac) from 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 yesterday.
    Since then Firefox does not respond to URLs passed from external applications, as it has always done.
    The external apps pass the URL, FireFox is brought to the front, but no Tab (or new window) is opened.
    Nothing else has changed. Firefox is selected as my default browser (in Safari Prefs) and there is only one copy of FireFox on my laptop,

    Hi David
    Go to Safari Preferences>General. At the bottom you'll see an option for opening in a tab. Makes sure Tabs are enabled in your Tab panel.

  • How to display flash controls on top of an external application?

    Hi,
    We have an external application which is running on top of the Flash player.  Is it possible to display the flash controls( like button) on top of this external application?
    Example: Flash player is running a swf file and we also displaying an output video on top of this flash player by an external application. Do we place a flash textbox to display the video filename over this video display?
    Thanks

    I'm afraid you cannot do that.
    You have two distinct ways of achieving what you want:
    1. You load the video inside the Flash application (provided it's in a supported format) and then you have all the freedom to overlays whatever Flash component you want on top of it.
    2. Depending on the technology and platform with which the external application is built you can instatiate multiple Flash player controls inside of it and place them under and over the video in order to achieve what you want.
    The first solution is the best approach as it will work across platforms seamlessly and you just have to use one technology/language (Flash/Actionscript) to do it. If the video is not in one of the supported formats you can check out Flash Media Encoder that is bundled with Flash Pro.
    Hope this helps.

  • Displaying OBIEE content inside a Div (part of HTML) of an external application/Web page

    We are able  get the particular catalog item say a Report/ Chart when a OBIEE go URL launched in a browser.
    But what is the way to displaying the same chart/report content in my external application. I want display the OBIEE chart/report content as a part of my application web page on load?
    How can i achieve that?
    loading the content in an IFrame using Go URL didn't work? Im also  dont want to that.
    I tried sending request to the GO URL via jQuery AJAX. But it didnt Help.
    I have tried also sending request to GO URL via Apache HTTP client to get the response content. But OBIEE server returned the following response
    "Your browser is not supported by Oracle BI Presentation Services"
    Any Help in this is appreciated?

    The service WCM_PLACEHOLDER can not use JSPX templates (because it can only evaluate them as UCM can evaluate and UCM cannot evaluate the JSPX version SSXA is using).
    WCM_PLACEHOLDER can work if you create an HCSP template but then you only have access to Idoc Script and not JSPX.
    This is my understanding. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

  • How can I display files in external program like Word?

    Using NetBeans 6.5, IE7, Windows XP
    I have not had any luck attempting to get a PDF file to display in a separate browser window,
    so I thought I might try to combine that with a new issue.
    I have 3 file types - jpg, rtf and pdf that should be able to be displayed in external programs like Word or Adobe.
    Is there a way to start an external application and pass the file name from a backing bean?
    The files would be located on the server in a directory that is mapped to the client and the applications (Word, etc.) would reside on the client.
    Can this be done from within the confines of a JSF application?
    Thanks

    I was kind of hoping that someone could point me to an example of how to do this.
    I've tried the servlet approach, but can't seem to get the file to display in a separate browser window.
    That is why I thought about maybe launching a separate application, if that is possible.

  • I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

    I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • No External Applications visible in Portlet

    I have just upgrade from Oracle Portal 3.0.9 to 3.0.9.8.1 (Patch applied to loginserver and portal schema) and the External Applications that were set up have gone from the portlet.
    If I go to the "Login Server Administration" portlet and select the link "Administer External Applications" I get a list of 5 External Applications that have previously been set up.
    If I go back to the Home Page and select "customize" on the "External Applications" portlet I get the message "Your Login Server administrator has not registered any external applications".
    Any ideas why the External Applications portlet cannot see them any more ?
    Thanks

    Hello Balakrishnan and Sharmila,
    First of all I want to say thank you for trying to help me.
    Sharmila, I did exactly what you suggest but it still doesn4t working, I can4t see
    the reports in my portlet repository ... I saw many question as mine in this forum
    but all of then aren't completely solved. (After I click "OK" in customization form display
    options tab, I remembered to do the "Refresh Portlet Repository").
    Balakrishnan, I did what you suggest too, the copy was fine, the roport was copy
    from one provider to another, but even doing this the report doesn't appear
    in the new provider on the portlet repository(I remembered to do the "Refresh Portlet Repository").
    Note that my reports are already working inside portal (using "Run as Portlet")
    in the "Develop" tab of my component ...
    and just the reports I couldn't see, the forms that I did are there in the portlet repository !
    Even the reports that came with the portal providers, like the ones in PEOPLE_APP provider
    from PORTAL_DEMO owner doesn't appear in my portlet repository.
    So .... if you have more suggests I4ll appreciate a lot !
    Best regards,
    Renato

  • Have OS 10.5.8.  New external HD require 10.6.  Can I use this?  Also, can a new HD be initially used on Windows7 to store movies and then used on the Mac without confusing the HD?

    I have a Macbook Pro with OS 10.5.8.  I wish to get a new external HD.  The HD packaging seems to indicate that an OS of 10.6 is required.
    Questions:
    1:  Can I reliably use a new external HD requiring 10.6 on my 10.5.8?
    2.  Does anything have to been changed/altered on either the HD or the laptop to make such a HD work?
    3.  The HD would initially be used to transfer movies from another external HD, via a PC with WIndows 7, onto the new HD.   This would be a one-time event simply to get movies from a friend's HD.  Will the new HD be affected in anyway with having its first contact with a PC rather than my Mac which it ultimately will be used with?
    I am not a wizard with technology. 
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    You need to upgrade OS X on your computer. The drive will have to properly formatted for a PC but be usable on a Mac. So the drive must be prepared as follows:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to MBR then click on the OK button. Set the format type to MSDOS. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Creating an External Application as a portlet

    I created an External application provider and added it to a portlet in my portal page. This was done successfully, displaying a link to my external application and did the mapping at the first time with the SSO user.
    What I need to know is whether my external application can be implemented as a portlet itself (not a link) or not.
    If anyone has an idea, please share.
    Thank you

    Ayman,
    The easiest way to integrate External Applications as a Portlet (ie displayed in situ) is by using the URL service Portlet. This also has the option of "In-Line" rendering which will allow any deep-links to be routed back through the URL service provider. (means that as you drill into the application it stays in the portlet rather than opening a new window). See the documentation on the URL services function in the PDK section of http://portalcenter.oracle.com

  • Launching various external applications from a java application

    I have several java.io.File objects displayed in my swing application. When the user double clicks any of these objects, I want to launch the external application associated with the file type.
    For eg. if the user double clicks on "one.pdf", I want to launch Adobe Acrobat to view that file. I dont want to hard code application and file extension associations, rather I want to launch whatever it is that the underlying OS would launch given a double click on a certain file type.
    Anshuman Taneja.

    Let me answer my own question. Did not know the solution would be this direct. On the flip side, this is not a cross platform solution, and perhaps, there isnt any cross platform solution.
    (in the code below, file is a java.io.File object.)
    // if the file is an "exe", then it is launched like this
    if(file.getName().indexOf(".exe") > 0 )
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32" + " " +
    "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler" + " " + file.getName());
    // for files which are not applications themselves,
    // this will launch the application windows would've launched to open the file
    else
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]
    {"rundll32", "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler",
    "file:///" + file.getAbsoluteFile()});
