Documenting view dependencies on field level

is there an easy way to find out to which table field a view column is linked?
I.e. in a view that pulls data from several tables I would like to get a list with one entry for each column of that view and the information which column of which database table is the underlaying column.
Thanks!

There is no easy way, because a view column is not linked to a table field. A view is a stored SQL command, just a bunch of characters.
Only for easy views, not containing inline views for example, you could query view_text from user_views and parse the text with success.

Rob.

Maintenance View with Subset Fields

Hi All,
I have created a maintenance view based on a single DB table. Two key fields are defined to be as subset fields. No selection conditions are added to the view. I have used table maintenance genrator to define the screen (one step) along with the events.
In SM30, i get the popup to fill the subset fields.
I have created an event for AA (to replace default read). I am filling total attribute here.
a) Is there some other attribute that i need to fill apart from total?
I receive following dump
" Exception condition "NO_VALUE_FOR_SUBSET_IDENT" is raised"
When i set <status>-sbsid_rcvd = 'R' in read routine along with total, then the above exception doesn't appear.
But filtering based on the subset values doesn't happen automatically.
b) I also need have to have routines to perform insert, copy and validation.
c) Would the contents displayed be automatically filtered based on the subset values or we need to process this in user routines for read and so on?
As i find very limited documentation available for maintenance views with subset fields, could you suggest me some example to do the above?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rekha

Hello Rekha,
Yes I've same idea, documentation for maintenance screens is inadequate.
But there is way to find examples for all events,
table TVIMF is storing the Table name - Event - Form name columns.
For example when u want to do something about "creating a new entry"
Just go se11 > Table maintenance generator and find related event : 05
- Then go to TVIMF and display a record for event = 05
- than go to function group of maintenance screen of the TABLE in that record
- find the subroutine form ( TVIMF-FORMNAME) in that function group
This is a working example for that event, try or copy & use.
I hope it helps you for the coding for all the events.

Best way to author field level help for a CHM?

Hi
I have been asked to create an HTML help (CHM) system for a .Net application which will include context sensitive help at both page and field level.
I have used map ids for page level help before - i.e. assigned a map id to topics and given this list to a developer for implementation, but I have never created field level help.
I've been looking at the 'What's This?' help project wizard but am confused as to whether this is the best approach and how it fits with the project as a whole (or even if it compatible with .Net applications). Does this mean that I need two help projects for the application - one for the main help, and one for the field level help? Is there a way to create field level help without using the 'What's This?' wizard?
I am using Robohelp 7.
Any advice gratefully received!
Chloe

Hi, Chloe,
As Peter notes, even Microsoft has backed away from using field-level Help in the last few years, so it may be worth trying to determine whether your users will benefit from having it available to them. That's not to say that you can't deliver field-level Help, however, as all the required methods for calling it are still available to .NET developers.
To clarify, what Madcap Software calls "DotNet Help" is just a proprietary Help viewer that the company hopes will be more modern and appealing to writers than the older HTML Help (.chm) viewer. HTML Help remains the recommended format for Windows applications, whether .NET or not, and you can use any authoring tool that is capable of outputting a .chm file to create online Help for a .NET application.
The method that your developers use to call field-level Help determines how it should be authored. If they use the standard .NET method (the SetHelpString method of the HelpProvider class), each text string is embedded in the application code itself, and not retrieved from your .chm file. More information here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.helpprovider.sethelpstring(VS .71).aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821777
http://helpware.net/mshelp2/demo2/h1xNET.htm
Alternatively, developers can use the old HTML Help API to retrieve the text string from a .chm file. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670082(VS.85).aspx
http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_whatsthis.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317406
The drawback of both methods is that the Help popups are plain text only — no graphics, text formatting, hyperlinks, etc. To work around this, some people use the third-party KeyHelp control to create feature-rich HTML popups. See:
http://www.keyworks.net/keyhelp.htm
This allows you to deliver the type of Help that you mentioned in your second message ("is there a way to do this so that these topics open in a small popup, without the TOC / tri-pane structure?").

Field-level Help possible with WebHelp?

Hi All,
I'm trying to determine whether WebHelp supports field-level
help, and between reading the online Help and the forums, I'm
confused. The online help states "WebHelp window support is only
available with the context-sensitive Help API." Does that mean that
WebHelp doesn't officially support field-level help? I'm sure we
can implement field-level help with some creative programming, but
I'm not sure of the requirements.
Is the CSH API required for field-level help? Or do we need
only implement the solutions described on
Peter's
site detailing calling WebHelp? And the RoboHelp Office
TechNote
Calling
Topics with Two Pane View?
I appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide!
want2bewiser

want2bewiser -
If you recall, field-level help was implemented by clicking
on a Question mark icon on the top right in the title bar. Your
cursor changed to a Question Mark and pointer, and clicking on a
field, button or other control would evoke a popup.
You can duplicate that functionality, but the lions's share
of the work would be on the developers. You can provide the small
blurbs, but how it is called is up to them.
The API is useful if you might change topic ids often, or if
you need a sort of map file, or if you just want a standard way of
calling Webhelp into a certain window format. But you don't need
the two-pane format instructions for 'What's This' help.
So, your developer will have to add a function to each page
so that, if the user changes the cursor to a 'What's This' curson,
and an object is clicked during this 'What's This' state, an
explanatory popup will, um, pop up.
...Otherwise, everything behaves normally.

Field level help

Hi,
Is portal provide any field level help. I mean to say that when i place my mouse arrow on a field than it gives me help what it does or press some key to know what this field does. Something like ballonic help in Developer 2000 Forms.
Thanks
Muhammad Ijaz

We use field-level help from within our application, Liz, and
we use Robo v5 for our HTML Help (output in CHM). I'm not entirely
sure how the code is written because I only do the Help System (our
application is currently being rewritten in Dot Net and we haven't
finalized the Help for Dot Net yet). All I do in my Robo projects
is put the bookmark where it needs to be. The F1 command that is
passed within the application calls that bookmark. The app is
currently written in Progress and the code simply calls the
module/program/bookmark. As long as the bookmark I use in Robo
matches what the Developer calls, the field level help works
perfectly. The only problem we ever had was when the field name
changed in the application and nobody told us in Documentation! As
soon as I updated my bookmarks, it worked again.
Hope this helps. If you need more info on the commands, email
me directly and I'll get with the Developer to ask about the
command line the code sends to call the CHM.

Masking at field level

Hello SDNers,
My concern is to allow view to several users by making MASKING AT FIELD LEVEL.
To make it clear:
Take one example of automobile giant in which certain views are needed :
a)Higher Managment View (Total Access to all the fields,say all 10 fields)
b)Sales View (which should be given access to say first 4 fields)
c)Finance VIew (which needs to have acess to some 7 fields)
As in the case mentioned i need Masking at Field level.
Share your views.
Solution will be rewarded.
Rgds,
Krutarth

Hi Krutharth,
Where do you want that view in data manager or you want to view your user specific records (Fileds) on Web UI. If you want to view the records on web UI you can arrange the user specific views in the Config UI by selecting the fields you want your specific user to view.
You can have field level masking i.e., you have to configure such masking on specific user in the config UI.
Data Manager you cannot impose such mask at field level.
Reward points if helpful.

Field-level Edit Access

Hello everyone,
I have 4 questions, all pertaining to what you can do with a field in APEX:
First, how to enable field-level Edit access in APEX? I understand I can apply authorization scheme on each page. So when a user has only View access, he/she can't edit the page. This is nice but what if out of a page, I want only one field being editable by an Administrator and not by the other groups, how do I do this?
Second, if I want an Administrator to be able to add a row to a pop-up LOV and he's a mere administrative user of the system and not the APEX administator, how best it is to do this?
Third, when a user logs in, how to ensure his login name and perhaps today's date already appear in a field?
Finally, when a field is filled in, how to disable that field from future modification by shading it for example?
Thanks for enlightening me on this.
Best regards,
Daniel

Sagar has the point. You should check the OES and OAM certification for all versions you want to use. AFAIK OAM 11g and OES 10.3.4 run on WLS 10.3.3 only.
See the certifications for details: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html

How to view "From" header field in OUTgoing messages in Mail? Frustrating.

In Mail v.4.3 (in OSX 10.6.4), I need to view the "From" field in my outgoing messages as I am composing them. However, there seems to be no setting in Mail which allow this.
I find this very frustrating because in Eudora (which I used to use), the "From" field in outgoing messages is visible by default. But in Mail, not only is it not visible by default, there seems to be no way to make it visible.
In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing +email address+. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)
In fact, the only way to see the identity in the outgoing "From" field is to go to Preferences, then click on Accounts, and look there; or send oneself a test email. Both of which are a hassle and should be unnecessary.
In case you're curious as to why I want to see my outgoing "From" header field:
I have several different "personas" online, each of which uses a different email address: My work address (with a work-related domain); my family/personal address (with a different email address than my work address); an online avatar I use in various gaming sites (also with its own address, since I don't want to use my personal name/address in the gaming community); and so on. However, I have all incoming emails to all accounts auto-forwarded to the same central email account. Most of the time I'm just replying to business emails, so my outgoing "Full Name" and "Email Address" (in Preferences>Accounts) are generally set to my business name and address; but on occasion when I want to reply to a non-business email and not have the recipient see my business email address, I go in to Preferences>Accounts and change "Full Name" and "Email Address" (i.e. what is displayed to the user) to something different. And when I'm done with that, I change it back to my business address.
However, sometimes I forget if I've changed it back or not, or forget what I've changed it to. In Eudora, All one needed to one was create a new outgoing email and it would display the "From" field so I could instantly see my outgoing identity. But in Mail, there is no "From" field in outgoing emails, so I'm constantly nervous and wondering which outgoing identity I may have changed to and accidentally forgotten to change back from.
(Yes, yes, I know that if a recipient wanted to be snoopy, they could look at the "full headers" of any incoming email and see the name of my email server, which may different from my displayed email address; but we're not talking about spy-stuff here, I'm just trying to not confuse people and keep business separate from personal.)
So: is there any way for me to see the outgoing "From" field in the emails I send? Or am I condemned to constantly (and mostly unnecessarily) checking "Preferences>Accounts" to see what I have enetered there?

Thanks for replying.
What is the "compose window" to which you are both referring? I could find no reference to such a thing in the Mail menus or Help.
Do you mean the "Composing" pane in the Preferences? I don't see what either one of you is referring to there, but I did notice there something that could function as an awkward workaround: If I click on the "Automatically CC myself" box in Preferences>Composing, then when I start a new email, my email address is displayed in the "CC" field -- and luckily, Mail allows me to then delete my email address out of the CC field, so I don't have to spam myself with duplicate copies of all my emails. This way, I can at least briefly see what email address I'm using, before I delete it from the CC field. Pretty awkward and unnecessarily laborious, however -- still not a perfect solution.
Or, by "composing window," are you referring to an outgoing email? As I said in my original comment, I do see what Ernie called "a small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box." This is what I had to say about it:
+"In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing email address. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)"+
In other words, when Ernie says, "click the box beside From," I can't do that -- because there is no such option. That's the whole problem in the first place. If there was a "From" field beside which I could click a box to make it appear, I would have done so! But there is no "From" field in the "Customize" section of the "small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box."
I find it completely mystifying that both of you seem to be able to see a "From" field available to be added to the header of outgoing emails, yet no such option is available to me in Mail. What possibly could be causing this? 10.6.4 is freshly installed on my machine, and Mail seems brand new and uncorrupted. And I'm using Mail 4.3, the latest version.
Are you saying that everyone else can see an option to have a "From" field in their outgoing messages, but I uniquely don't? Very very very strange.

E-Recruitment - Requisition - Infotype Field Level Change Log

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP E-Recruitment, and would like to know how to capture the changes made in Requisition at infotype field level.
For example: If a support team member is added/delete in the Requisition (Tab - Support Team), then these changes (NEW/DELETE) at the infotype field level are required.
I have tried to maintain the infotype and the required fields in V_T582A, V_T585A, V_T585B and V_T585C. But didnt get any result when I executed the report RPUAUD00. Is there any additional configuration required for this?
Please adivse.
Thanks and Regards,
Dinakaran R

Hi,
You can just to that with the infotype table log. Support team is stored in table HRP5131.

JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 - Help text at field level

Hi,
We are making use of the Help.properties file to produce field level text. I have field's such as the following
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.DocumentName.inputValue}"
                                label="#{bindings.DocumentName.inputValue eq null ? '' : bindings.DocumentName.hints.label}"
                                required="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.mandatory}"
                                columns="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.displayWidth}"
                                maximumLength="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.precision}"
                                shortDesc="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.tooltip}"
                                id="it4"

                                readOnly="true"
                                rendered="true"Is there a elegant way to disable the help text? e.g. provide a form level radio button to enable/disable help text? The only way i can think at the moment would
be to set the helpTopidId to a key that doesnt exists using an EL expression.

Hi,
I think what you suggest is the way to go in this case
