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

Enhancement request for more fine-grained templates

JHeadstart version : 10.1.2.0
I like to have the possibility to define templates on the level of table rows. If I am correct, currently the 'lowest' level of a .jtt template is the $FORM_ITEMS$ token. According to the userguide this token "is used to indicate the place where a form must be generated". My question is now: How can I influence this generation process? For example, I want to embed text-items within <c:if's in order to conditionally set a text-item attribute. Am I right to conclude that on this "deeper" level of a jsp (for instance table-row level), it is not possible to define templates?
If so, I want to request an enhancement for a further 'fine-graining' of the templating technique.
Thanks and greetings, Erik

Erik,
Yes, this is not possible in he current release.
Your enhancement request has already been implemented for the JDev10.1.3/Faces release. We will the support two kinds of tokens, one that outputs all items as it is today ($FORM_ITEMS$ or $TABLE_ITEMS$), and one token that refers to an individual item. This reference can be bpoth on index number and name:
FORM_ITEM_1 or
FORM_ITEM_DepartmentName
This will allow you to layout the items exactly as you want.
Note that in the 10.1.3 release, we will also support item-level templates where you can add code to conditonally render items.

Enhancement request for the jsp visual editor

Hello -
With respect to the visual editor, could the rendering of adf faces command buttons work the same if you use the TextAndAccessKey instead of Text to define the button text? In 10.1.3, using TextAndAccessKey will cause the buttons to render as either thin buttons without any text (but with 'normal' button height) or barely noticable 'dots' about the size of a comma. (When I see the "dots" it is usually a button in a table selection component.)
With the buttons appearing "empty", I need to click around a bit and examine the button in the property inspector to make sure that I am working with the correct button.
Thanks,

Enhancement Request for RFC 4021 Support in Mail

I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this forum, or complies with the click-through agreement which neither I nor the vast majority of anyone here probably read, but here it goes.
Mail does not appear to support RFC 4021. In particular, there are several header fields that are used by various applications that Mail cannot create in messages, and provides no means for adding in. Of interest to me is the Sensitivity header, which flags the message as having a particular sensitivity. This is used by at least one product (Cisco IronPort) through which mail flows in corporate networks with the device. If it sees this header it will automatically save the message off and send a new email with a URL that the original recipients can use to retrieve the secured message. Now, all of this is done outside of Mail and is a feature of the IronPort product. All that Mail, or any email application needs to do, is to include the appropriate header field.
I created a support case, but there is no such feature for setting the sensitivity of an email. If it is appropriate for me to do so, I would encourage you to head over to http://www.apple.com/feedback and send feedback asking for support of RFC 4021, either through an explicit GUI interface to set the sensitivity of email or through the ability to include arbitrary headers and values so that future header fields can be added without Apple having to update the application constantly. If it's not appropriate for me to do so, then I would not encourage you to head over to http://www.apple.com/feedback and provide such feedback
I'd also be interested if anyone knows how Mail processes email, and in particular sending email. My particular example unfortunately includes an exchange server (2007), so I'm guessing that it is not processed by postfix or any other application, and is sent directly from Mail to Exchange. If it were, I supposed it may be possible to include an entry in /etc/postfix/header_checks to look for a header that CAN be included via Mail, such as a BCC to a specific fictitious address, and REPLACE it with the appropriate header field. If anyone is aware of how Mail actually processes email outbound to an Exchange server I'd be interested in those details.
Thanks,
Fred Reimer

I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this forum,
Mail does not appear to support RFC 4021

Enhancement Request for Period End Closing

Hi All,
When using Segmented Chart of Accounts, the Period End Closing procedure does not allow you to select different GLs from various companies.
The Trial Balance for example, does allow you to select the different GL sets by pressing Find in the Selection Criteria.
In cases where there is a different Retained Earnings accounts for each company on the same Chart of Accounts, you are forced to perform the Period End Closing on a single Retained Earnings account for ALL the companies.
Please can this be enhanced much like the Trial Balance.
Kind Regards
Tanveer

Tanveer,
you could try use more than one retained earning account. But in the report, there is expanded button where you can choose the posting various date. I also suggest to post your message to the other forum within business one forum as suggested in the note but I am not sure it will be fulfilled quickly. Maybe in the 2 or 3 or even 5 years later who knows.
Submit a ticket to SAP support to know the work around.

6600slide /S40 Enhancement Request for Calendar an...

Hi experts, I am using calendar in active standby mode, and would really appreciate if calendar takes more than 3 lines from display. Does anyone know how to?
Following is copied the same request (old 2 years already) from Reinhard (he mentioned 6300 before)
Thanks
The 6600 is an excellent phone. I like it very much. I would like to see the following improvements (ideally implemented as a Software Upgrade):
Active Standby & Calendar
Active Standby is divided into 4 areas (in Personalise View), for which you can individually set content options. When you set Calendar as content option, only 1 or 2 calendar entries max are displayed (as much as fits into that content area). If the areas below the Calendar area is free, the Calendar should flow over into the empty content areas below it, so that more Calendar entries can be displayed.
Regards,

Hi there
since you seems to be using the calendar actiively, maybe you could help me. I use my calendar in the 6300 everyday but have this problem, when i synchrinize with my Outlook 2007. All my contacts sync perfectly and so do messages, but when i try to sync my calendars (6300 to/from Outlook) it only works the first time. When I open the sync calendar in the pc suite, the sync button is not active. I've tried to reconnect the phone, but it is still not active. On top of the window it says that the phone is not connected, but if I switch to contacts the phone is connected and so it is with the other facilities. Last time i solved the problem by reinstalling pc-suite, but now i have the same problem again. This is quite annoying and **bleep** me of.
Hope some of you can help me.

John

Enhancement Request for Reports

I did search; sorry if I missed a similar request.
I would like the ability to associate a report with a specific connection to avoid the connection selection. Reports not associated would still show the connection selection dialog. Thanks.

Hi,
We do have a more general enhancement logged to identify a "default" connection overall. I'll log this to the mix as well.

Enhancement Request for EventLog Errors

Below is a message I got in the EventLog.
A message received by adapter "WCF-SQL" on receive location "Receive_ForProcessing_DebatchedFlightStatsSched_FILE" with URI "d:\ForProcessing\DebatchedFlightStatsSched\*.xml"
is suspended.

The requested enhancement is that it show the SendPort name as well.
It shows the ReceiveLocation, but there are multiple SendPorts that uses filters to subscriber to the message.
The suspended messages shows me the SendPort name, but I'd like to see it here as well; it would help narrow down the problem much more quickly.
In this specific case, we have our QA system pushing data to our DEV system. The DEV system was refreshed from PROD, and lost therefore was missing some data tables needed by a stored proc to lookup the @AirlineName properly.
We have an EventLog scraper that sends us emails when there are errors in the EventLog. Thus the email doesn't show the SendPort, making it harder to figure out what the issue is.
Thanks,
Neal Walters

Hi,
One way I would suggest is to create an orchestration which will subscribe to these kind of failures and send an email out with the respective details. You can refer the below context properties of the failed message to access the Send port name and location:
BTS.SPName
BTS.OutboundTransportLocation
Hope this will help.

Enhancement Request for Webutil

Hello Duncan,
When would webutil include a facility to append client file to another client file, Application Server File to a Client File, and a Client File to an Application Server File?
Currently, when there is a file transfer, the contents of the target, if the file existed, are erased. There is no append to file facility provided by Webutil.
There is already a constructor for java.io.FileOutputStream that allows for file append:
FileOutputStream(String name, boolean append)
It would be really convenient to have the append option in Webutil since in at least 1 case I had to upload a Client File to be appended to the Application Server, do the append using TEXT_IO and then return the bigger file to the client machine.
Regards,
Lewis
CMiC (Canada)

Operating systems generally provide the ability to append files from the command line - as you can with the DOS COPY command - so I don't see the point in replicating such behaviour that can be simply done with a HOST command.
So in your case - upload the file to a temp file name and then use the OS to do the append via HOST on the app server.

Enhancement request for Navigation Bar - save state before branching

I believe it would be nice and helpful to add the save state before branching option also to the Target section of a Navigation Bar Entry.

Enhancement request for caching

Just in case it got overlooked in a previous windy post by me in another thread, I figured I'd create a new thread for this.
In a future version of ApEx will it be possible/feasible to keep the recordset the user is on, so if they navigate away from the page (like following an 'Edit' link), and then return to the original page, they are not back at the first set of records again?
As an example, I have a search page. I also have a "Records Found" region which I'm caching per user. The "Records Found" has a link for each row so the user can go and see (or edit) the details. When they navigate back, they are returned to the first set records, even if the search returned say, 200 records, and they previously were on record 170. This save the user from having to re-navigate to record 170, especially if they weren't sure (as they usually are), where they were before.
Or, is this actually a better use of page caching vs. region caching (though I haven't experimented with page caching yet)?
Thanks,
Bill Ferguson

Good points Vikas, and correct as usual.
I'm just trying to figure out what would be the best way to try and improve performance for my users.
As a little background on my main database (I'm beginning to get branched off into several others now), it's the merging of two existing databases from different agencies, one was primarily interested in the "economics" of a mineral site, and thge other was primarily interested in the "geology" of a mineral site. In many cases, they both had information for the same site. Some was the same kind of information (name, location, etc.), but then they also both had their own sets of unique data. So, during the merger of the two original databases, many duplicates (and in one case, 47 different 'records' for the same site) were created.
So, when my users search, they wind up getting presented with many duplicate records as well (which several of them on working on consolidating into one master record, with the best information both the various duplicates).
So quite often they are going back and forth from the "Search" page to the detail pages and then back again.
Without caching, the "Search" re-executes, causing about a 15-20 second delay.
With caching, it displays in about 1 second. But, if they were on anything other than the first recordset, it seems to re-execute the query to determine the set of records to display (whether it be next, previous, or a set selected from the select list), which in turn takes about 15-20 seconds to display.
It would be "nice" if there was some way to cache to entire resultset of a query region, like maybe in a collection (?), so the pagination could just grab the appropriate set of records for that display, dependant upon where the user was when they navigated away from it. Then, when they return to the "Search" page, it grabs the last set of records displayed from the cache (which could be several hundred or more) instead of going through the process of re-executing the query to determine which set to display.
So, I can see why it's working the way it does, but I'm wishing it was a bit more "flexible" in how it does it. I suppose I could probably my own routine to accomplish this, but it would be a real pain.
Be so much nicer if it was a 'standard' feature of the ApEx functionality. :^)

Enhancement Request for APEX 3 - Import / export translation

Hi,
Would it be possible to add this functionality in the next release ?
If we import an application that has a translation in the database (seed) into another APP_ID , we loose the translation.
So for a 100+ pages application, it is really a pain to have to re-translate everything again. (since we cannot use the same xliff file).
It would be nice to import the content of the translation from one application ID into another one or to export the translation with the application export.
Thanks
Francis.

We blogged on this problem on the following link http://iadvise.blogspot.com/2006/12/apex-deploy-your-multilingual.html
We are now working on an Apex application that will help in step 3 of the translation process. It is possible to upload an xliff-file, to make a translation for every source element and to create the xliff file again with the translations. The idea is also to make a kind of dictionary so it will be possible to automate a part of the translation process for words that are repeatedly used. Keep an eye on our blog where we will explain some more on this application.
Btw, which tool do you use to make the translations ?

Enhancement request for sales order closure/cancel

Hi Guys,
One of our customers has requested that when a user goes to close/sales order, the standard system message is:
"Cancelling or closing of this document is irreversible. Continue?"
Can this be changed too:
"Closing of this document is irreversible. Continue?" - when closing a sales order and "Cancelling of this document is irreversible. Continue?" when cancelling the sales order.
