Dynamic Datastore Settings

Hi,
As the datastore settings do not allow any variable, how could we provide a solution where a dataflow must extract data from a table located in a datastore whose settings are read from a table?
To be concrete, the customer has a table where each record contains fields with the name of the server, the user, passowrd etc. And this table is growing from day to day.
This table must be read in a loop to perform a dataflow that points to the settings extracted.
Therefore there must be a dataflow in a loop, with a sql transformation as source for example, but the datastore pointed in this sql transformation must come from the table that contains the settings. However, the datastore cannot be a variable in the sql transformation. Then, how could we do?
Could we update on the fly (when executing the dataflow, there would be a script to do that in the loop) the repository by changing the settings of the datastore object?
I am also aware of the XML creation toolkit but if I'm not wrong this is not really an automatic action, this requires manual action, and since there are new datastores everyday it is not really a right solution here, is it?
Kind regards,
Anthony

Thanks Michael,
I will investigate this. A video on the topic could be great to do; if I manage to do something with it, I will create one.
About a solution I was wondering: is it possible to update the repository during the job execution? In such a case, I could update the datastore settings in a loop. I don't know if when the job executes, it acts like a program that you compile and therefore during the execution cannot change. Do you know that? If so, would you recommend that solution?
Cheers
Anthony

Dynamic Filter Settings

I have dynamically created a drop shadow for an mc in my
project. That's no big deal. The settings are not difficult,
either. This is the frustrating part - I cannot get the settings to
change on the fly and react to input. In this instance, I am using
a couple of equations to determine the distance between the mouse
and the mc and the resultant angle. I am trying to get the drop
shadow filter to use this data and alter its distance and angle
settings to react. So far, no dice. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot, mate. That worked perfectly.

Dynamic actions settings to mail generation

Hi
The actions are set for mali generation ,when ever personnel action happen.while testing the mail generation some actions are fine which are set in dynamic actions with out action for reasons.but some of actions are not working which are mentioned action for reason.
one case i set dynamic actions for hiring action with mentioning action reason.that time it will entered in to programing and generating mail.
but in another case i have 3-4 reason for actions that time the program will considering only action type ,its not entering into program considering action for reason.
can any body give me brief advise how to set dynamic action while action having the action reasons.
Regards,
arjun

Sreehari,
You can configure feature M0001 (Add MASSN/MASSG as your decision operation) and you can call this feature in the dynamic action table T588Z

Dynamic LDAP settings

APEX- 2.0.0.00.49
LDAP=OID
Database-9iRelease2
We are using LDAP as our authentication schema and it is all working fine.We have defined the LDAP settings like this :-
Page SentryFunction - null
Session Verify Function -null
Authentication Function - "-LDAP-"
LDAP Host - "myhostname"
LDAP PORT - 13060
LDAP DN STRING - cn=%LDAP_USER%,cn=HTMLDB_Users,dc=XX,dc=XX,dc=XX
The problem with this design is that the ldap settings need to be specified in the authentication page itself and if the client changes their LDAP details they won't be able to change these details as we provide the application "run only'.
To solve this problem we have created a table which would store the LDAP details like hostname,port,context string etc. I have created application items for all these settings and have computations for these items to trigger on login..but I guess I am stuck in a "catch 22" situation because I need to login for my computations to fire and on the other hand I need my computations to fire so that my ldap authentication can work.
Can someone suggest a solution here ?
tks in

Hmm, looks like those values don't allow substitution strings. Try this:
Create application items APP_LDAP_HOST, APP_LDAP_PORT
Use the pre-authentication process of the authentication scheme to set these values, e.g., begin
    :APP_LDAP_HOST := 'myldaphost.somewhere.com';
    :APP_LDAP_PORT := '389';
end;Compile your own authentication function:create or replace function myauth(
p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2)
return boolean
is
begin
return htmldb_custom_auth.ldap_authenticate(
    p_username => p_username,
    p_password => p_password,
    p_ldap_host => v('APP_LDAP_HOST'),
    p_ldap_port => v('APP_LDAP_PORT'),
    p_ldap_string => 'cn=%LDAP_USER%,l=amer,dc=oracle,dc=com',
    p_ldap_edit_function => 'return htmldb_custom_auth.ldap_dnprep;', -- call your own function if our ldap_dnprep isn't what you need
    p_owner => 'VISHAL_SCHEMA');
end;
/Take all the LDAP attributes out of the authentication scheme.
In the authentication function field type: return myauth;Scott

Dynamic Configuration URL

Hello,
We had a working solution for dynamic URL settings for HTTP adapter from the message mapping using UDF as mentioned in the previous blogs and help.sap. But after a recent update of support packs the URL seems to be getting incorrect values. Is there any visial admin settings that need to be checked after SP upgrades with respect to dynamic URL configuration?

Hi,
I have tested the interface mapping and Message mapping. They seem to bring in the correct URL dynamically but during runtime its been sent to another URL.
Please advise.

Include directive with dynamic attribute file

Hello, currently I'm wrestling with the following problem. I want to include a certain file in a JSP and I'm receiving the filename to be included from the request as a parameter.
This is my code so far.
<%-- Include dynamical path settings --%>
<% java.lang.String envJsp=request.getParameter("envJsp");%>
<%@ include file="<%=envJsp%>" %>
<%-- End Include dynamical path settings --%>
This results in the following error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Bad file argument to include
     java.lang.Throwable(java.lang.String)
     java.lang.Exception(java.lang.String)

Set Region/Chart Width Dynamically

I am sure this has to be simple, but have been searching the forum for "Chart Width" and a LOT of data comes back. So, after searching for a long, time, I ask here... :-)
I would like to set the width of my charts dynamically from settings in the database. I know I can set the width and height in the chart settings section, but this hard codes them.
What I would like to do is get the width and height values from the user or a database query (so the user can customize how big a chart is) and set the values dynamically instead of hard coding.
Any suggestions or a shove in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Varad,
Thanks for the reply. This solved the problem of resizing the chart. What happened then was the the region was staying the same size, so the chart was running of the bottom and right if I increased the chart size. To fix this, I also had to update the region source to use the application items to pass in the width and height as well. Evidently the region was inheriting the width and height from the chart definition.
Anyway, go it working pretty much like I want it, although it does take some calculating.
On a side note, one irritating thing... When you turn on "User Custom XML" for the chart, it looses a bunch of stuff - like the Y axis information, grid-lines, etc. and you have to go put that back in manually.
Thanks again...

Dynamic memory not released to host

Dear Techies,
Ours is a small Hyper V virtual server infrastructure with three DELL power-edge physical hosts(Windows server 2012 Datacenter) and around 15 virtual machines running on top of it. The hosts are added to fail-over cluster. Each host has 95 GB RAM. All the
VMs are running Windows server 2012 standard edition.
We have installed terminal services(TS licensing, TS connection broker, TS session host) in four VMs with the following dynamic memory settings:
Start-up RAM : 2048 MB
Minimum RAM : 2048 MB
Maximum RAM : 8192 MB
Below mentioned applications are configured in the server:
Nova Application Installed
SQL Developer Tool is Configured (ODBC Connection established for Database communication)
FTPs communication allowed for File Transfer
McAfee Agent is configured (Virus Scanner)
Nimsoft Robot Agent Configured – Monitoring
Terminal Service
Enabled Multiple terminal sessions based on customer requirement
BGinfo tool configured through group policy for customized desktop background
The average memory utilization in the terminal servers are 3.6 GB. As per dynamic allocation the maximum RAM requirement/allocation till date is 4GB. As seen in Hyper V console, the current RAM demand is 2300 MB and assigned memory is 2800 MB.
However, the earlier assigned RAM in the server is ballooned/faked to the VM as driver locked memory. This is by design. Despite the memory being released back to the host, the server still shows up the 4Gb which makes the memory utilization report from
monitoring tools look 80% (3.2 GB out of 4 GB).
As a result, the memory utilization report is always based on the current dynamically allocated RAM and not calculated based on the maximum assigned RAM(8GB in this case). To make it clear: If the
currently assigned RAM is 4Gb and utilization is 3.2 GB the utilization % is reported as 80%. However, if calculated in accordance with maximum RAM capacity of the server it would be 40% ((3.2/8)*100).
Is there any way to release the driver locked memory from the VM.?
Regards,
Auditya N

I am not really clear on the point of your question.
Allocated RAM is what is currently in use / allocated to a VM out of the physical RAM pool. It is Demand + Buffer. The demand is based on the applications in the VM and what they think they need and how efficiently they return unused memory
to the machine. This has nothing to do with in-application paging (which happens a lot with Terminal Servers).
So yes, the memory utilization is accurate in relation to physical RAM utilization.
Dynamic Memory is about efficiency, not about over-allocation. Hyper-V can never give VMs more RAM than is in the physical RAM pool. The VMs can be configured to have more RAM than is in the physical RAM pool - but the VMs will hit the top of
the pool and not be allowed to have any more. There is no ballooning or paging to disk.
So, you maximum allocated could go beyond what is possible. But that would mean that your utilization would be artificially low if this was used in the calculation.

High Memory consumed when Dynamic memory is Enabled in Hyper-V Machine

I have created a VM using Hyper-V with Enabling Dynamic Memory option on a 2012R2 server machine.
After creating the VM I see that the memory consumption of the VM machine as 85%.
Would like to know if any efficient way to use "Enable Dynamic Memory" option while configuring the VM so that the memory consumption will be reduced.

As others have said it depends on the application being used. Also how do you have your guests configured with Startup memory, minimum memory and maximum memory? If your application is poorly written and has a memory leak, you will see dynamic memory just
grow. If the application is just heavy because of traffic or caching it will use lots of memory.
Example for me is a web application that is proprietary. during no usage it might be using roughly 400 MB on the server, but then when it gets used it will grow. I've seen some webservers hit 10 GB as for other ones grow maybe to a meg. After things calm
down a bit I notice memory returns back down to a 400 MB to 700 MB level. That is just how my application is and how i serve it up to customers. I had to track all that stuff prior. You can use Microsoft MAP to help with your dynamic memory settings.
For SQL server it can be done as well, but as Darren said before you might not want to do it. In my environment i do it, but I have tweaked things to work for me. Example is tweaking database memory usage to match startup memory OS it appears static, but
then leaving dynamic for processes that fire outside of SQL server. Here is a
guide for SQL server and dynamic memory.

Accessing Dynamic Prompts information via CR 2008 (or earlier?) RAS API?

I am using the CR 2008 RAS API (but could also use an older API if needed) in Visual Studio 2008. I have both service packs installed.
Any idea how to access information about the settings for dynamic prompts in a report?
I can access the PromptField object with
dataDefController.ParameterFieldController.
GetPromptParameterFields(new PropertyBagClass());
but can't seem to find any options for its dynamic prompt settings (such as fields used to fill the default values, cascading prompt settings, etc.).

Hello, John;
From the Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide:
NOTE: The ReportClientDocument object model does not currently support creating new prompt groups programmatically and saving them to the report. For more information about dynamic cascading parameters and creating prompt groups with the Crystal Reports Designer, see the Crystal Reports User's Guide.
There are no specific API designed for the dynamic cascading parameters - they are just parameters. As such the properties that make them special are not available.
You can get the parameter name and you may be able to determine from the list what would be related:
Country --> Region --> City would be, probably Date would not be.
Since they are created in the Crystal Report designer, the creator could store the information needed in File | Summary Info | Comments and it can be retrieved from the special field Report Comments or the SummaryInfoClass.Comments Property
That is the only suggestion I can think of at this time.
Both options can be achieved from the .NET RAS SDK and the Crystal Reports .NET SDK for version 2008.

Dynamic visiblity

Hi Guys,
My dashboard has a combo box to select the "Project Type". The labels linked in the Excel spreadsheet are - A & B. The Destination cell for the Combo box is stored in Cell D2.
In the spreadsheet, I also have 2 sets of information for each "Project Type" selected. They are - Project Distribution & Manager Distribution.
Project Distribution has columns for "Dept Name" & "No.of Projects"
Manager Distribution has columns for "Dept Name" & "No. of Managers".
Each "Project Type" has its own Project & Manager Distribution data in the spreadsheet.
Now, when the user selects "Project Type A", then he should be shown pie charts for the Project & Manager distribution. Same thing when "Project Type B" is selected. Could anyone please help me achieve this in my dashboard?

Hi Jeevan,
Select combo box and choose project type as lable and store selected value at one destination. Refer below screenshot.
And if you want to show no of projects dept wise for project A in pie chart select a pie chart and do below dynamic visibility settings for it. Similary you can use another pie chart which can appear when type B project is selected by user.
Please let us know if you ve further query regarding dynamic visibility.
Status: keeps on changing as per combo box output and key u can fix for each chart.

Urgent Dynamic Visibility Problem

I'm creating a dashboard and everything was going really well. At some point, the things I designated with dynamic visibility just stopped showing up. If I create a component and don't put anything for Display Status, it shows up fine, but appears on all my "pages." If I try and qualify the component so it only appears on one page, it won't show up at all in the SWF.
The weird thing is that if I make a copy of an existing component, it will show up, but only if the dynamic visibility settings aren't changed. If I copy a component that's on page 2 and want it to appear on page 3, it won't do it.
The dashboard has gotten kind of large, and I don't know if that has anything to do with this. All I know is that I've become completely frustrated because I'm two pages into a four page dashboard and can't continue. Nothing new can be created to go on those last two pages.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

Although there is not a "limit" to how complex your dashboard can be, at a certain point performance will be compromised. This same principle is also true for your Excel spreadsheet. I assume that since you are creating a complex multi-page dashboard that the underlying data is also dense and complex. You can either: simplify the data, reducing either its size or the number of formulas/calculations being performed; or simplify the dashboard. Rather than creating one dashboard with several complex layers, you may find creating a parent dashboard that calls multiple external "child" SWF files yields a better performing dashboard. *Caution: parent/child or nested dashboards are more complicated to distribute to viewers, which should be considered depending on your application.

BC dynamic menu behaving differently in Safari

Hello,
Can anybody see what the problem may be with this, I've had a pretty good look myself but I don't understand what could be causing this problem - the top navigation menu's drop down function for the Products item is not working in Safari, it works perfectly in all other browsers.
http://www.breathelife.co.nz/home_newLook
I have assigned my own CSS to the menu items, all using this in case it is relevant .topNav {width:auto; padding-right:10px;}
Also, if somebody could clarify for me - when assigning ones own CSS to menu items, will the BC 'Item Width' still get referenced? I have assigned width:auto; but it seems that the dynamic menu settings are over-riding this?
Thanks for any assistance.
Grant

Is there a Business Catalyst dynamic menu guru out there that can help me with this problem? I've just rebuilt the menu turning off my own styles and stil Safari doesn't want to know about the drop down menu items under Products. I disabled the slider on the page, thought it may be causing a conflict, but still no joy.
I've used th Dynamic menu before without havign any problems, thi shas got me completely stumped.
Anybody got any ideas?

IPS Signature Dynamic Update

Hello,
I need to know what type of privilege I need to use IPS Signature Dynamic Update.
Thank

Since the IPS dynamic update is accessed from the Admin tab, only the accounts having Admin privilege can change/modify the dynamic update settings, Here is a description of the various user roles in CS-MARS (taken directly from the user guide):
â¢Admin: has full use of the MARS.
â¢Notification Only: for a non-user of the MARS appliance, use this to send alerts to people who are not administrators, security analysts, or operators.
â¢Operator: has read-only privileges.
â¢Security Analyst: has full use of the MARS, except cannot access the Admin tab
Hope this helps
