Enhancement request - ADF BC convert EO based VO to read-only VO

Hi
Can't see if we can do the following in 11g (or 10.1.3); is it possible? Otherwise would be a nice to have.
If at design time I mistakenly create an ADF BC VO as one that is based on an EO (ie. updateable VO), but it would be better suited to a read-only VO (for the documented runtime efficiencies), a tool to convert the updateable VO to a read-only VO without losing the attributes and SQL query settings would be great. Ideally a right mouse click option on the VO or via the VO document window as an option.
Cheers,
CM.

I've filed Enh. Req. # 6040888 for tracking.
You should be able to copy the existing query to the clipboard, remove the entities, then paste in the query again.
Numerous new runtime features in 11g depend on having an EO-based view object, and the runtime overhead is not large, so in practice our internal best practice for our own Oracle Applications development teams will be to use entity-based VO's most of the time going forward.
It's true there is a small amount of overhead still, and view objects used for SQL-based validation purposes will still be good candidates (as well as view objects that don't want to see the pending changes in the entity cache for some application-specific reason).

Get var from InputText based on a "read only view"

Hi.
I have build some read only views from DB.
All my views are linked.And the Data of each View is shown with " selectOneChoice" or "inputText".
So far so good.
But now my 1.problem.
How can I get the value of the inputText ( coordinates" lat , long ") in a var to use it with a google maps function like
map.addOverlay(createMarker(new GLatLng(lat,long)))
2. problem
how can i change the readout value of the inputText from[i] 51,2456 to 51.2456 for example
Hope for your help!

Enhancement request: ADF BC property sets

Hi JDev team
"Yeehaw" on the property sets feature. Very Oracle Designer like.
To make them even more powerful can you:
1) In the App Navigator provide "analyze dependencies" option on the right mouse sub-menu.
2) In the ADF BC EO/VO attr document view, and attribute editor, can you show any values derived from the property set, and show them in a different colour.
3) If a custom value is given for an ADF BC EO/VO attr property, over-writing derived property set value, facility to change back to property set value, and/or set null.
4) The ability to create a new property set from an existing ADF BC EO/VO attribute
5) Ability to set property sets against ADF BC VO bind variables
Thanks,
CM.

1) We plan a "Find Usages..." option on ADFBC components, including Property Sets

Enhancement Request: Viewlink based on an Association

Hi,
one highly repetitive task is creating associations and then creating a view link which in 99% of cases is an exact representation of the association. An enhancement that I would find useful is a create Viewlink from association context menu. Ie. right click on an Association and select "New View Link from Association". All of the relations from the association would then populate the view link properties.
I know that these can be generated from PK/FK relations but the business components from tables doesn't allow you to specify Association, View Link names or their location, resulting in a big bucket of ADF objects all in one level (this is is probably another enhancement request).
regards,
Brenden

does anyone else feel this would be of benefit?
After months and months spent solidly developing in JDeveloper this is the single most repetitive (and trivial) task i have had to do.

Enhancement requests do seem to be worthwhile in the end...

Having requested the continuous/shuffle music video playback several times in the last 18 months or so, and urged people to do so via...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
...it has finally been implemented and I'm chuffed to bits.
Well done Apple, this is a superb enhancement though why so long to implement ?
Personally I feel this was a huge oversight for AppleTV ever since it was realeased, and seriously hindered both use of AppleTV as a media extender and obviated the point of buying music videos unless you watch them on portable devices which I don't.
I had become increasingly negative about the prospect of ever seeing this feature
appear - this cat doesn't wear a hat so I'll have to eat something else instead!
I am now likely to spend a fair amount on music videos at iTunes Store having vowed not to do so again as having to select each one manually to play was tedious to say the least.
Really baffles me how Apple have missed the opportunity for revenue from music video sales via AppleTV, particularly when iPods had the shuffle feature.
As I commented a few weeks ago I think perhaps priorities since 2.0 update have been to get the store up and running properly before implementing enhancement requests or new features.
Very pleased Apple have finally implemented this extremely useful feature, it may not be pointless in using the link above, it just takes time.
So the next thing we should do is think of things to officially lobby for in future updates.
My top 3 would be:
1 - Allowing connection via USB to rescue data from AppleTV for users who've had hard drive accidents/msihaps and haven't backed up recently - fact of life it happens even if you're careful! Files with DRM are safe from unauthorised use and those without DRM are no less secure than they were before anyway. This could even be done by only allowing AppleTV to dump media to an external USB device instead of allowing an external connection to AppleTV itself, and could be controlled from say a backup menu option. Alternatively full manual bidirectional drag and drop of media via iTunes to/from AppleTV could be implemented with a mode to prevent a new sync library connection wiping existing content.
What's in it for Apple? Huge boost in consumer confidence that Apple allow them to easily recover their personal files in the event of a problem - there should be no need to hack or dismantle AppleTV just to get at your data. Just think of all those people saying thank heaven I had an appleTV as my Macbook died and I'd forgotten to backup those wedding photos etc. We see examples of frustrated users almost daily with this problem.
2 - Additional codec support - it's all very well saying h264 is the best thing since sliced bread and the current Apple/Apple Store standard, but the limited video codec support is probably the biggest hindrance to AppleTV becoming an extremely popular media device. It has the slickest interface of commercial products but many prospective customers have files in long established older formats that are incompatible without prior time consuming and quality degrading transcoding. Locking down AppleTV in this way alienates many potential users. The argument about the source of files in other formats may have some validity, but it is not Apple's job to infer that a user's file is of dubious origin simply for not being in h264 format. I am not condoning filesharing/torrents etc merely saying that most people have older files in older formats they want to use without conversion. Many DVD players allow playback of DivX (never use it myself), and if there's a licensing issue offer playback as a per device plugin option paid for by the user in the same way the QT MPEG2 pluging is offered.
What's in it for Apple? Happy customers who would simply use something else like a PS3 to view their files and not buy AppleTV. New customers who would not have purchased otherwise. Happy customers who no longer need to trasncode files to watch. You'd be happy with being able to use older files, but would also get the benefit of using iTunes Store for new things.
The overhwelming thing would be a sense of 'fair play' gained by the consumer. For me personally since 2.0+ the device's overwhelming iTunes Store based menu design sticks in the craw and has relegated MY content to the bottom of menus. Give us the best of both worlds - an iTunes Store top level section for purchases and separate simple top level sections for combined personal/purchased media as in software 1.0/1.1. In essence declutter the menu system for playback lumping all the purchasing/preview/search options together.
3 - Tricky. Most useful would be an AppleTV SDK and 3rd party plugins/apps via iTunes paid and/or free similar to the iPhone model - I can live without widgets/visualisers/social networking plugins etc but they would be valuable to many users. As far as I know the iPhone Apps have been a huge success - no reason why not on AppleTV too, though commiting to this pathway would probably be very expensive in terms of developing a secure/sandboxed environment for running apps/plugins unless they could port the iPhone software fairly simply.
Anyhow, once again delighted Apple have added the music video feature - I will start buying music videos from iTunes music store again. Bad for my wallet but good for Apple and AppleTV. Perhaps I should be thankful and consider how much I've saved not buying music videos in the last 18 months or so.....
What would you like to see? Some things will be impossible/hardware limited, others quite feasible.
Discuss, but also use the formal feedback link to give enhancements any chance to appear!
Let's all help make AppleTV a success, and hopefully the media extender to beat!

to be honest, adding playlists (or whatever it is) for just music videos is of no use to me.
it is playlists for tv shows that i need. ie the capability of playing episode 1 to 5 of a particular season back to back.
Funny isn't it, how we all do things differently, have different preferences, enhancement wishes etc.
For me it's not really a big chore to watch an episode then to manually start the next assuming I or Mrs AC are still awake!
For episodes of short duration say 5-15 minutes I appreciate this could get annoying, and for longer episodes I suppose we are used to Play All type options on DVDs.
If these are iTunes TV Shows you're stuck at the moment, but if they're say 'home recordings converted for AppleTV' you could theoretically get round it by setting their types to Music Video. Clumsy but it should work.
I'm sure you can see the benefit of playlists/shuffling for music videos that may be 3-4 minutes each on average. I rediscovered dozens of iTunes Store music video purchases last night and thought 'yes, this is one of the big reasons why I bought AppleTV initially' - it did not say anywhere that AppleTV could not do this somewhat logical task - assumptions are dangerous though and invariably you only find out the full capabilities of products when using them.
additional codec support ? i would say there is no chance of this. x264 is pretty standard theses days (if you discount the pirate industry). x264 is even used for HD TV in the UK.
I agree, there's more chance of Tony Blair making a comeback!
Piracy is rife and I do not support it.
My views on fair use of media you personally own are quite different.
It's not the codec/container that's the issue it's how the material was acquired in the first place - it may simply be your home videos, digitised off-air recordings etc that is in a 'legacy' format that you don't want to transcode. We know from the modders that most other SD formats are playable on the current hardware so that's not the issue.
Take say an Elgato EyeTV device - I can record anything off-air, edit and transcode for AppleTV or just transcode unedited automatically. How much more sensible it woudl be if AppleTv simply supported the MPEG-2 transport stream playback rather than wasting time and computing/power resources doing the transcode.
I have some some standard video-CDs I made on a PC in the late 1990's, how nice it would be to be able to play the MPEG-1 content back without fiddling - it's not as though converting to h264 will do anything for the quality!

Enhancement Requests for AWM10g

Hi, before I start in on the enhancement requests I want to say that I am pretty impressed with AWM10g. Definitely a huge step forward in creating AWs. Having said that, I think there are a few enhancements that could be done to the tool to make it even more user friendl.
Note that these are in no particular order, just ones I came up with while using the tool. I'll add any others that I come across.
Please don't take this as nit-picking - just trying to help make it better.
Thanks!
Scott
1. On dimension hierarchy types, instead of "value based" call it a "parent / child based" (thats what everyone knows it as)
2. When creating levels, allow more than one level to be created at a time (currently it closes the dialog after each level is created, forcing you to go back and choose "create levels" over and over again). This may be as simple as having a "Save and create another" button or something.
3. When typing names in the "system name" boxes, it would be nice if we could simply type the descriptions using spaces, and have the system name automatically replace with an underscore. Right now its a bit tedious to remember to type all names using underscores.
4. In "mapping" view, move HELP, APPLY, and REVERT buttons off of bottom status bar and up to the top toolbar. There is lots of unused space at the top, creating a second bar at bottom just eats up screen real estate
5. On "create dimension" dialog, no need for an entirely separate tab for "implmentation details" (that only has two values - generate unique keys or use the existing keys). Put this on the front tab so users don't have to keep selecting over to it (unless of course there are additional values that can show up there?)
6. Mapping dimensions with multiple hierarchy - seems odd that we have to remap shared levels. Is it possible to make this where you would map all the values in the first hierarchy, and then only map the "missing" levels in the second hierarchy? Seems like an opportunity for hosing things up
7. Drag and drop ordering when setting up the dimensions in a cube would be nice. Interface is the same as prior version of AWM (pretty clunky)
8. Bug - when typing in any "name" field, if you highlight the entire field and delete all characters, under the "description" fields only a single character gets deleted.
9. When there are multiple hierarchies for a given dimension, some sort of visual indicator of which one is set as default (without having to drill into details of each one)
10. Its difficult (impossible?) to resize panes (for instance, when doing the mapping). Seems like sometimes I click on something by accident (other than the < and > arrows) that resizes the panes, and then I can't figure out how to get them back (other than exiting and restarting)
11. When writing template out to same name as one that exists, AWM2 is not giving a "do you want to overwrite" prompt
12. Some sort of clear visual indicator or message when a dimension is not completely "mapped". I had a dimension where I mistakenly forgot to map the leaf level dimension member. I didn't find out about it until I ran a load and the load blew up.
13. On the XML logging at the end of a load process, the dialog box isn't big enough to show entire error messages if they occur. Since I haven't found a way to actually write the output to a txt file, this makes it hard to debug what is wrong with a solve.

Anthony - thanks! In the meantime, I've come up with a few more requests / suggestions (and will probably have a few more yet to come...)
Thanks again!
Scott
1) Rather than just showing the "working" bar while a load / solve is going on, would it be possible to replace this with some sort of functionality that queries against the OLAPSYS.xml_load_log table? And perhaps allow the user to click "refresh" or have it auto-refresh at a certain number of minutes so that users can actually see the progress being made?
2) Since CATALOG view is no longer available, remove the options to have AWM write the log files

Enhance Req: ADF BC domains

Hi JDev team
Can you raise the following enhancement request for JDev please?
For domains, it's possible to create a validation rules that validates any attribute based on the custom domain. This is great for when the user inserts/updates an EO/VO attribute to ensure the particular attribute matches (for example) a regular expression or similar.
However for existing legacy data that is pulled from the database, the domain validation also fires causing any data that doesn't meet the validation rule to be rejected and not show. This implies that you can never use custom validation domains for legacy system columns where the data doesn't comply.
Can you raise an enhancement request to include an option with custom validation domains to only validate the data if it is inserted/updated by the user, not for existing data please? This means we could use the advantages of domains for new and old data alike.
Regards,
CM.

Chris,

Enhancement to ADF ViewObjects

An Additional enhancement request regarding ADF/BC4J.
i would like to have ViewObjects that has INSERT MODE and QUERY MODE similar to Oracle Forms.
When an Orcale Form is launched, a default new blank record is displayed on the screen and the only time data is fetched from the database is when u enter query mode and then execute the query. And that is using only one Datablock.
In Oracle ADF/JSF, we can replicate that by setting the ViewObject maxfetchsize to zero upon creation of the ViewObject object. When the page associated with the viewObject launches, I will just execute a CreateInsert on pageLoad (invokeAction). To enter Query mode, I will have a backing Bean action that resets the maxfetch size to a positive number and then execute the query.
Then I override the ViewObject's executeQuery() method so that after calling "super.executeQuery()", is will reset the fetch size again to zero.
Now, my request is if the ViewObject can have this functionality BUILT-IN so that I won't have to create a custom backing bean action.
regards,
Anton

Enhance Req: ADF BC Assoc and Link editor

Hi JDev team
I'd like to raise the following enhancement requests please for JDev 11g TP.
For both the ADF BC Association and Link editor, to view the Relationship you need to click on the Relationship category. Seems to me 9 times out of 10 when you access these objects you want to see the relationship. I'd suggest the Relationship information needs to be under the General category as part of the default view.
Can you raise an enhancement request for this please.
Also, for the Association editor, to view the properties of the association, you need to click on the Relationship category, Accessors editor button, and then in the Association Properties dialog you see the association properties (eg. Implement Cascade Delete etc). This seems unnecessarily hidden too deeply.
Can you raise an enhancement request to promote these options to the editor rather than in this dialog please.
Thanks & regards,
CM.

Filed ER for the first one (#6121857)
The 2nd one has already been implemented post-JavaOne Tech Preview. There is a "Behavior" section on the Relationship panel now with those options accessible.

Enhancement Request: Recalculate Sequence Numbers

Hi
Wherever apex has sequence numbers (for branchs, items, regions etc.), please could we have the ability to recalculate them based on increments of ten so for example items as follows:
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 1
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 11
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 12
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 100
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 120
Would become:
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 10
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 20
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 30
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 40
P_ITEM1 - sequence = 50
The option to exclude items with a sequence number of 999 from the recalculation would also be handy. This can become a bit of a pain when a page has been updated many times and you end up with bunching of sequence number so that if something has to be inserted between them, you have to edit a number of items or whatever to make that happen.
If you could do a page-wide or application-wide recalculation - t'would also be cool.
If this feature is available already, please point me to it.
Cheers
Ben

The Cleanup feature Paul mentioned is new in 4.0 but fyi in any version component sequence numbers accept non-integer values so you can always insert something anywhere without a need to resequence...Thanks! I never knew that! Oh yes. And they can be negative too. We have some very esoteric looking sequences...
Actually the decimals are pretty useful for things like conditional display of regions. If you've got 3 related but mutually exclusive regions, numbering them 20.1, 20.2, and 20.3 indicates the relationship between them. Which brings me to another enhancement request: regions to have separate name and title properties (like pages do), so that where such regions have to have the same title shown to users, it's a lot easier for developers to tell them apart.

Enhancement request: Bulk edit features

As much as I love Apex and think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread (what's so great about sliced bread anyway!), after one gains a certain amount of proficiency with using the tool, one realizes that there are many areas where the Builder application simply gets in your way. You know exactly what you want to do, you know how to do it, but the Apex Builder doesn't support a "do this 20 times" feature!
For instance
1. Deleting multiple pages - This came up on another thread recently. The Builder makes you click 2 buttons (Delete and Confirm) to delete a page and then takes you to page 0 (or the previous page or something) and then you need to go back to the next page and repeat the process.
There should be a "delete multiple pages" feature in the Builder
2. Creating a list - I have a bunch of links/URLs that I would like to create a list from. The Builder interface (tabular form) has us add each list entry at a time.
I would prefer that it has a honking big textarea where I could dump all the links at once and it creates all the list entries at once. I could always go and tweak individual entries if I like.
Same thing for adding to other Shared components like LOVs, breadcrumbs, tabs, etc. I am not saying a textarea-based interface would work for everything, but anything has to be better than doing it one by one.
3. Access to the Report Column Attributes page - This is too painful to access.
Click on Edit page, click on Report, click on the column you want. 3 clicks!
Instead, there should be a Quick Edit link next to each report column when the page is run that pops up the same page.
4. Attaching a authorization scheme (or condition or build option or any applicable thing really) to a bunch of components at once.
The Builder should have a nifty search page where we could search/filter (by name, component type, page#, etc) for the components we want and then allow us to apply a an "action" (i.e. auth. scheme) to all the selected components at once. Doing this one by one is error-prone, time-consuming and just plain boring!
That's all that comes to mind at this time, I am sure others will have more.
Thanks

Mike: Thanks for responding.
1. You misunderstand what I wrote about report columns. Marc Sewtz understood what I meant at Re: Enhancement request: Quick edit links for column attributes
is very easy to bulk change (on the back end); the hard part is devising the proper screens for bulk change (font end)
2. Absolutely, agree 100%. Which is why it might make sense for Oracle to expose metadata manipulation APIs (apex_metadata package similar to dbms_metadata!) so that power users can effect changes to the application metadata without going through the Builder at all!
We talked about this at Bulk edit items
Many of the application reports allow for bulk change operations
Right, but realistically speaking, you can never anticipate and build screens for all the things we would like to do. Which is why a command-line API would be invaluable.
Just recently, I needed to change a bunch of HTML regions' templates in a application from Report Region to Hide/Show template. I couldn't find an application report/bulk edit page that let me do this, it was quite painful to do in the Builder.
Another case in point: I used the "Form on SQL Query" wizard to quickly create a form page with a bunch of fields. But unfortunately, unlike the "Form on Table wizard", this wizard is not smart enough to create page items with a display-as depending on the datatype of the columns in the query. It creates all the form items as Text Fields. :-( There is no bulk-edit page (that I could find) that lets me change the display-as property for multiple items.
If you or others have UI sugestions
3. As you may know, whenever I think of something that the Apex product could benefit from (an enhancement request IMHO), I post a thread on the forum with a subject line that clearly indicates as such.
To summarize, here they are:
Re: Enhancement request: Validation attached to process
Enhancement request: Buttons in report regions
Re: Enhancement request: Branch report
Re: Enhancement request (for Help text)
Re: Report with Tabs - Enhancement Request?
Enhancement request - Frequently used manifests
Enhancement Request: Create linked buttons
Enhancement request: Bulk copy of items
Enhancement request: Named anchors for items
Re: Enhancement Request - Named Branches
Enhancement request: Assign build option to a page group
Enhancement request: Checkbox item - Default all checked
Enhancement request: Include application-level events
Re: Command line API
Is that enough? :-)

Enhance Req: ADF BC create java classes

Hi JDev team
Can you log the following enhancement request please under JDev 11g TP.
In any of the ADF BC editors under their Java options, when you select to generate a class for the selected ADF BC object (eg. EntityImpl for an EO), it would be preferred the newly generated class file was opened in the editor. At the moment you have to then find the newly generated file under the ADF BC object in the Application Navigator and open it separately. I'd suggest 9 times out of 10 when you've just created a Java file for an ADF BC object, you'd want to edit it straight away so it should auto open.
Regards,
CM.

Chris,

Page Component View - Enhancement Request

Minor enhancement request:
Add a link directly to the Javascript section of the Page attributes, similar to HTML Header, Template etc.
This would also have the benefit of being able to determine if functions were declared in this section w/out having to drill into the page.
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:

IPhone/iTunes enhancement request...

I would be super-appreciative if someone could point me to where (who, etc.)I can go to post enhancement requests for new versions of the iPhone OS and it's interaction with iTunes.
Would really appreciate being able to add more than 11 pages of apps to my iPhone, without having to go to wierd un-documented procedures, and then not be able to manage all the apps and re-arrange them within iTunes.
Would like to see the ability to add a significant amount of more pages to the app springboard, (I would expect that a full dotbar of pages extend to the edges of the screen, something around 20 pages, IIRC...) and be able to manage those through iTunes properly.
I'm unsure as to why the 11 page limitation.
The other idea is to have "profiles" within iTunes so that you can sync certain applications within the profiles so that you can change sets of apps based on need.

I would be super-appreciative if someone could point me to where (who, etc.)I can go to post enhancement requests for new versions of the iPhone OS and it's interaction with iTunes.
