Excel Framework Portlet question

Hi,
I noticed the excel framework portlet(we are using ALI 6.0) will not show the background color in a cell even if there is a color defined in the excel cell. Instead it shows "Red" or "Blue" in the cell in text. Is this a known limitation of the framework or there is someway to work around it.
we are trying to use this for a dashboard and losing color will be a showstopper.
Thanks
-Jimmy

That would be because you are at Apple Discussions, and the forums here discuss Appls's hardware and software.
For Microsoft Excel questions, the best place is one of the MS Office forums at Microsoft's Mactopia site. The link will take you directly there.

Excel for Mac Question

Couldn't find a thread for excel so picked numbers...
Have a question and I know how to do it in Excel for Windows for not for Mac:
1) How do I choose a non-standard fill color for filling in a cell? I know how to fill a cell with a standard palette color like red or blue, but how do I select a shade of green? I can pick it from the color wheel, but cant add it to the default palette colors.

Portlet Question

Community Admins/Managers want to have a portlet that allows them to submit content with graphics, etc. to the portal and then have that content displayed inside a portlet. For example, admins would see the content with graphics and such, click on an edit button, go to editing the content and then saving the content back without going through content server, check-in/out, approval, etc.
Has anyone done this before (found an enhanced CONTENT portlet) that gives admins/users this ability?. Another question would be the location where content would be saved, do we use the EDK to store the content in the Knowledge Directory, in database?
Would another approach be to allow admins to submit content via KD, then create a snapshot query to pull that content into a portlet. This means users could create the content in MS WORD for example, upload to KD and then a portlet would be created to pull the content in. Is this another approach?
Any help would be appreciated.

Prashant,
Yes. A Portlet WebApp is a standard J2EE web application, with some
associated metadata (portal and portlet XML files, skins, layouts etc.). The
metadata is stored outside the WebApp and is synchronized to the server
after deployment.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Excel framework and pivots and charts

Can you point to an excle spreadsheet with pivot tables and charts/dashboards? I have not used the excel portlet suite since PT 4.5.

Don't worry, Mickey, it hasn't changed a lick since then. :-)
You always could point to a range in a pivot table and to a chart. Ranges, including those created by a pivot table, will be displayed as static HTML tables w/o formatting and charts will be exported to JPGs and displayed pretty much exactly as they look in the workbook.

i think "spring mvc step by step" is excellent. did you try to code it?
What exactly is a framework? "don't call us, we'll call you"
I downloaded it onto my desktop and now i have a folder full of things? What do i have to do to set it up?put the jars in your project and start configuring spring.
(if anything). I had to download this for a tutorial. I also had to download tomcat, even though i have no idea what this is too. Looks like a sort of server? yes, it's a servlet/jsp engine.
Brief description on this too would be great.

OUAF Application Framework install question - for Oracle Utilities SDK 4.0

Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I am really confused.
I have a working install of MDM 2.1 and everything is working.
Now I need to install the OUAF SDK to start coding in JAVA but since I a mstill new to all this I dont really understand where the Application server is. I though that I installed that already. But it is not found in C:\ouaf\demo.
I have the framework installed, I do not understand why the SDK is telling me wrong folder.
Oracle Utilities Application Framework V4.1.0 Multiplatform is the one I have installed.
Here is the install doc:
http://www.box.net/shared/k86v1a4gtc793ho1zc20
Here is part of the install doc:
• OUAF Application Server in 32-bit and development (exploded) form. The installation will prompt for the folder name where this is installed. Note the first 2 digits of the versions (e.g. “4.0”) of both the SDK and application server must match.
I found the patch number to the SDK here: (but where do I find OUAF app server?)
http://blogs.oracle.com/theshortenspot/entry/new_releases_of_oracle_utiliti
10043375 - Oracle Utilities SDK 4.0.0.4 (for OUAF V4.0.2 based products).

Actually it did mess up. App server not starting anymore. The folder structure did not change also.
Here is the config env screen after the changes:

Embedding Flex applications inside a portlet question

I'm trying to embed a Flex application within a Java portlet on my WLP 10.3.2 portal. I'm able to display the Flex app in the portlet but now I'm trying to access data. Does anyone know of any documents that cover how to access Flex data from a portlet and how to access portlet data from the embedded Flex application?
thanks

When you mentioned you integrated Flex App inside a Portlet, are you using like iFrame tag or Browser Portlet where in iFrame tag you specify the Flex app url like that. If so, then you will not be able to share any data/information between this iFrame portlet and the actual other real portlets.
If these Flex app has something like JSR based Flex portlets, then you can integrate them in WLP more easily. Another option is to consume these Flex Portlets as remote portlets using WSRP on WLP Side and the producer will be Flex Portal App (with flex portlets).

Refresh Portlet question

Hello,
<p>
I have two portlets that are in the same page. One portlet is a data submitting portlet that lets user submit data, and the other one is a data presentation page that display all the data that user submitted. When users click on the button to submit data, the page will be refreshed and the new data will be displayed in the second portlet.
<p>
I use adaptive portlet to do auto refresh. It works fine for a long time. However, it suddenly turns error to me. An IE window pops up every time when I submit data. The error message in the popup window is:
<p>
<i>A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.
<br>Do you want to abort the script?</i>
<p>
If I select "Yes", the page won't be refreshed. If I select "No", the page will be frozen. However, the data has been saved in database.
<p>
Does anyone has the same experience or know this issue? How can I fix it?
<p>
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you are developing in .NET then it should be pretty easy to achieve individual portlet refreshes. If you want to search on the portal for these types of portlets we have called them 'adaptive portlets' (I have no idea why...).
What you need to do it first install our .NET Web Controls support, which you can get from here: http://portal.plumtree.com/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=3422&PageID=5590&cached=true&mode=2&
Follow the included guide - basically you just need to add a few lines to you web.config then your ASP.NET webapps/portlets will refresh (postback) in-page without refreshing the page.
Hope this gets you started!

OMNI Portlet Question

I have created an OMNI portlet. In this portlet, I am querying a table to get a short name that I want to open up a word document. In my URL, I have to pass parameters #OWNER#.download_my_file?p_file=#ID#. This is taken from my APEX application where I actually upload the documents. The ID field is in my record that I am querying and I put the #OWNER# in there as a static variable. I am having trouble getting the #ID# field assigned to the ID variable in the table. Any suggestions?

It is not the best solution, but you could try to create and share your portlet.
Or try to create your portlet in page and make your page as portlet.

Survey Portlet questions

A couple of them...
Where does the survey portlet put it's data-what does the data model look like; or where is it documented?
Is there a configuration that I didn't perform to get survey polls and survey tests to work...? Again, where is the data for the results; providing that these acutally work?
I did manage to create a bunch of surveys and delete them from the survey portlet; however they still show up in
providers-registered providers-user surveys; with no delete or remove attribues (just grant access); how do I get rid of them for good?
Thanks
Ron.

I am trying to find out where Survey builder stores the values of the responses that users enter....I was looking in wwv_text....had no luck any suggestions?
Thanks.

My Task List Portlet Question

Hi,
I want to use the tasks (ToDo) list portlet for tracking tasks in our project. How can I setup an administrator (supervisor) level role to view all the tasks the project members are working on? Also, is there a way to assign tasks to project members through the My Tasks portlet?
I am using WLP 8.1.
Thanks

Thanks Ferd this explains what has happened. I have now fournd my tasks. Hwoever it is so inefficient to manage!!
Can anyone please explain why it is an improvement to separate the two functions - Calendar and Reminders?
It just adds to the number of windows we have to have on screen again! Incomprehensible I am afraid. I hope there is a calendar around that does both like Calendar used to?

Discussion Forum Portlet Question

Hi,
I downloaded and implemented jcriggs' version of the Discussion Forum Portlet and it works quite fine with one exception, the search. Does anyone know if the search function of that is supposed to be a full text search? It seems to only search on topic name and the first word in the message posted. Also does anyone know of a way to delete messages other than going into the database and deleting the actual record? I ran a bunch of test messages and want to remove them before I go live with it and give people access. I am assuming that going into the DB is the only way, but I am not sure.
Thanks,
Joe

HI Dimitry,
I dont think you have to synchronize the block. i guess the code is synchronized internally.

This should be an easy Excel Chart Newbie question

I want to create a simple chart that compares the number of two rows with data in them. Row A has 75 rows with data - Row B has 25 rows with data. What would my "data range" look like for a chart to show one 75% one color
and 25% different color.
BTW - I don't need to programatically determine the number of rows - this is a one off and I can provide those values.
Thanks for any help!

Below should be your data set and resultant graph (you can generate any other type of graph also).
Left click 2 times (not double click) bar of B in chart so that only bar B is selected. If you click once only, both A and B will be selected.
Now right click and Format it will required Fill colour.
