Embedding Visualization for public viewing?

What is the best way to embed a visualization on our public website for users to see without having to authenticate? I noticed the docs refer to using cURL to do that, but is it possible using ajax to do REST? Ideally we are trying to incorporate some visualizations into our website so it looks seamless; as if it was part of the website without the user seeing the behind-the-scenes authentication stuff.
Thanks,
Scott

Hello Scott,
The big trick is that you share the visualization out using the "Allow recipients to forward their invitations..." option. This loosens the security on this visualization so that the access grant in the url is enough to get access. In this case we do not enforce a biod login for checking rights..
You can share out a webi report in your my stuff reports folder using the same option.
The documents in the organization folders cannot be shared out in the same fashion so the access grant trick cannot be used there.
Cheers
Steve

Email with embedded applet for offline viewing

Can you embed an applet in an email message so that it can be viewed offline by the recipient?
If yes, how?

I'm not sure about that, but you could certainly attach the HTML document and a .jar file to the email so they can run it offline.

Use of public views for metadata

Hi,
I am trying to create metadata around source to target data lineage (not using the OWB provided metadata browsers). I have used some of the public views (with sql)to produce most of this. At this point however I am trying to "bring across" the original source names (as they exist on soruce systems being ETL'd by us). I noticed there are business name columns in the all_iv_columns and all_iv_tables views.
My Q's:
How does this field get populated ?
Is it the right place/reliable to capture the original source table/column names ?
Is there any doc (other than the view definitions with a brief column description for each) that would answer some of my questions above ?
Is there anything else I should be considering to create my "custom metadata queries" ?
Thank you in advance
Anthony

Anthony,
1. How does this field get populated ?
This field is populated from a private view cmpelement_v. For example, the field Business_name is the logical name and table_name is the physical name.
2. Is it the right place/reliable to capture the original source table/column names ?
Physical names are more reliable than logical names for lineage because physical names are unique. I suggest using public views instead of private views because there is documentation.
Is there any doc (other than the view definitions with a brief column description for each) that would answer some of my questions above ?
No, the Public API Guide is the only available guide.
Have you considered using the Warehouse Builder Browser as a stand alone browser? It is no longer required to have iAS server to use both the Runtime Audit Browser and the Design browser. Check the Warehouse Builder install guide for details.

Public Views for the Design Environment

Hi,
I want to select Information from the Public Views for the Design Environment. I need details from the mappings, but can not found the informations.
I can't found it in all_iv_xform_maps and all_iv_xform_map_components.
I build a mapping and user some Functions in the mapping (Transform Operators). Now I want to select the location Information of such an operator.
In detail I need:
1) Right Click on a mapping
2) click configure
3) collapse Transform Operators
3) collapse a function
4)I need the Information under Location.
Sometimes in my mappings there is "Unkown value" and I want to select from the Public Views for the Design Environment these entries.
Can some one help me?
Thanks
Carsten

My Replies?
1.) What do you mean by "start" them? You select from a view just as you would a table. If the view is there and you have permissions, it is available to you. As to where to find them, they are owned by either your repository owner or repository manager user - depending on how you have set things up. But any user registered as an OWB user will have synonyms pointing to the views for the repository to which it is registered.
So, when you have defined a source or target Oracle Schema and registered it as an OWB user, you can simply "select * from all_rt_audit_objects" or whatever else as that user when you want to get information from the views.
2) None of your user-defined tables use these views. These views are pre-packaged select statements against the tables in the OWB repository to make it simpler for you to extract information about your metadata, deployments, and executions of the objects you have created in a given repository. Using a tool like TOAD, Oracle SQL Developer, SQL*Navigator, or whatever other Oracle development tool you use, you should be able to get the source for these views if you want to understand how they are collecting data for you.

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');
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.
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.

Action reference in the MAIN view for other Views

Hi Experts,
I have created a view(MAIN) that contains SUBMIT button and also included four other views(Using ViewContainerUIElement) in the MAIN view itslef. So am calling the respective view based on some certain condition from MAIN view.
Now my problem is, am using check_mandatory_attr_on_view() method which is being called on SUBMIT action from MAIN view of WDDOBEFOREACTION. But it is not checking Required Fields from other views. It checks the Required Fields only in the MAIN view.
I know that I want to call the reference of other views in MAIN view, but how can I do it?
Please help me, as how I can check the Required fields on action of SUBMIT button in MAIN view for other views.
BR,
RAM.

Hi,
Though am in MAIN view, If i clicks the submit button it checks the Required fields on both MAIN and Sub views, where still I have not called the Sub view.
If you didn't call the sub view, the WDDOINIT method of your sub view wouldn't have been triggered and so the sub view reference is not set in the component controller, isn't it.?
OR you are calling sub view separately in the initial state and get the reference and then in your MAIN view calling the sub view based on condition in the View Container UI..?
If so, create an attribute in your Main view (say sub_view_name of type string) and then use the below code to get the current sub view name and then pass the corresponding sub view reference:
DATA:lr_view_controller    type ref to        IF_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER,
       lr_main_view_usage type ref to        IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE.
       lr_vc_assignment      type ref to        IF_WD_RR_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT.
       lr_view_usage           type ref to        IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE.
       lr_t_views                 type                WDRR_VCA_OBJECTS.
       lr_s_view                  like line of        lr_t_views.
       lr_view                     type ref to        if_wd_rr_view.
      lr_view_controller = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    lr_main_view_usage = lr_view_controller->GET_VIEW_USAGE( ).
   lr_t_views = lr_main_view_usage->GET_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENTS( ). "This will return all the View Container assignments.
* Now loop over all the View containers and get the reference of embedding view.
   loop at lr_t_views into lr_s_view .
      lr_vc_assignment = lr_s_view-VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT.
      lr_view_usage = lr_vc_assignment->GET_DEFAULT_VIEW_USAGE( ). " This will return view usage reference
      lr_view = lr_view_usage->get_view( ). " This will have the meta info of view
      wd_this->sub_view_name = lr_view->get_name( ).
   endloop.
Now in onAction submit,
CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CHECK_MANDATORY_ATTR_ON_VIEW(
                              EXPORTING
                               view_controller = lr_view_controller " MAin view reference
case wd_this->sub_view_name.
when 'SUB_VIEW1'.
CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CHECK_MANDATORY_ATTR_ON_VIEW(
                              EXPORTING
                               view_controller = wd_comp_controller->gr_emb_view1.
when 'SUB_VIEW2'.
CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CHECK_MANDATORY_ATTR_ON_VIEW(
                              EXPORTING
                               view_controller = wd_comp_controller->gr_emb_view2.
Or, alternatively; create all the nodes(of sub views) in component controller, then map all those to MAIN view, then read the required node attributes and validate manually.
hope this helps u,
Regards,
Kiran

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.

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

Global Event Listeners for all Views in a ViewNavigatorApplication

Hello,
As the subject states, I have a ViewNavigatorApplication and I am trying to set up a "global" event listener for all views. Which I am able to do, however I am having problems...
In my first view, I assign this listener:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeys);
And I also have this function:
public function handleKeys(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
     if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.MENU) {
                    trace("menu pressed");
                    navigator.pushView(MainMenuView);
This works fine from the first view. But when I switch views, I get an exception on pushView (navigator is null). I think I understand why, so what is the best practice for something like this? How can I get access to the spark component navigator from that function when called from a different view? Or is there a better way to go about this?
Thank you!

Try putting the code in the main mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
    firstView="home"
    applicationComplete="init()" >
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function init():void {
                this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeys);
            private function handleKeys(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

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,

Publish for web viewing?

I haven't found enough information about web viewing of
Captivate 3 screencasts.
I don't have a flash server, but I have a CMS capable of
serving individual swf or flv files. But in my output I have three
different swf files (not to mention an html).
For the sake of web viewing/streaming, what are my options?
1)is there a way in Captivate to convert it to a single file?
2)Are there any utilities for coverting to avi/mpeg? So far,
the only thing I've found is
http://www.adshareit.com/howto-swf-to-video.html,
but I don't know what settings to use. I tried its default
settings, and the result was three mpegs, all of them were huge and
none were usable.
3)are there special settings you should set up in Captivate
for web viewing?
4)my cms (which is specialized) has some ability to play
flash media files within a viewer, but am unsure exactly. How would
an embedded flash player on a website be able to view a captivate
video?
From a standpoint of latency and performance, is the best
option to just upload the three files to a web directory and give
the user the URL for the html file?

Hello again Robert
Without seeing your actual output files it's a bit difficult
to say exactly what each file is for. But I can toss out some
generic information.
Often when you record a project in Captivate and publish the
output you will end up with four basic files.
ProjectName.SWF (Contains the bulk of your presentation)
ProjectName_skin.SWF (Contains the Playback Controls and adds
one or more Borders surrounding the main part of your presentation)
standard.js (An externally referenced JavaScript file. This
was was used to prevent seeing the "Click to activate" message that
Microsoft Internet Explorer used to issue when it played Flash
content. But IE has been updated so this message no longer appears.
Even so, the standard.js file is still necessary in order to
properly display your content.)
ProjectName.htm (An HTML file that is used to present the
Flash presentation)
Depending on what and how you recorded, there may be other
files involved too. You could see one or more Full Motion files
among the mix.
Additionally, if you used some of the supplied animations
that ship with Captivate, you could see those as well.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Organizational Structure for Public sector

Hi Experts ,
I am in a public sector company ...would like to know is there any change in organizational sector ...can any one send me link or document or template so that i can have a view of Standard SAP public sector org.structure ...so that i can check how all the elements in the organization like FI,MM,SD integrate into it .....
Regards
Albert .

You can also take a look at the Best Practices for Public Sector documentation. There you can find some preconfigured Business Scenarios with their corresponding structures. Currently the Best Practices released are based on Belgium. In a future more countries will follow.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/bp_publicsectorv2600/PS_BE/HTML/index.htm">Best Practices for Public Sector BE</a>
there you can browse into:
Business Information --> Business Blueprint
and also
Business Information --> Preconfigured scenarios
although this is just a template may get you an idea of a working configuration for Public Sector. Details will actually be highly dependant on your country and PS organization.

Messy RUN_STATUS column values in public view ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUNS

Is it true, that there is a bug in view ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUNS column RUN_STATUS?
This view is based on table WB_RT_AUDIT. View's column RUN_STATUS is based on tables column named RTA_STATUS.
Firstly, RTA_STATUS in the table is numeric and RUN_STATUS is computed like this:
decode (a.rta_status, 'BEGIN', 'RUNNING', 'FAILED', 'FAILURE', 'COMPLETE') as run_status.
It means, that the result value of RUN_STATUS is always 'COMPLETE'.
Moreover, table WB_RT_AUDIT column RTA_STATUS shows value 1, when mapping runs without errors and shows 1 also, when mapping fails.
What is the best indicator from public views or runtime audit tables to show that mapping has completed successfully? Is it return_result or return_code column form view ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS (table WB_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS)?
Finally, what's the difference between WB_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS and WB_RT_AUDIT. Is it possible to have more than one WB_RT_AUDIT rows for one WB_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS row?
Thank you,

Using public views to check function implementation

Hi All,
I'm trying to use some public views to check whether the repositories of Development, Acceptance and Production are in sync.
In order to check the functions and procedures, I came up with the following query to have a simple comparison mechanism:
SELECT f.function_type
, f.schema_name
, f.function_name
, LENGTH(i.SCRIPT) script_length
FROM all_iv_functions f
, all_iv_function_impls i
WHERE f.FUNCTION_ID = i.FUNCTION_ID
Unfortunatly I get an error message:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at "OWB_OWNER.OWM_VIEW_UTILITIES", line 572
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
The same error occurs when I try to view data of all_iv_function_impls in TOAD.
Checked the viewdef, it selects (among others) the following:
OWM_VIEW_UTILITIES.FUNCTION_SCRIPT(im.elementid) AS script.
Of course the package body is wrapped so no way to see what's happening in there.
I tried a search on this problem, no result.
I did a general search on OWM_VIEW_UTILITIES, but no results.
Checked Metalink, only Note 237082.1 mentions this package but doesn't clarify the situation.
Any suggestions?
Cheers, Patrick
