Explain please differences of report, dynamic page, frame, portlet

Hi to all -
I am a beginner with using WebDB/Portal development so forgive me for such simple questions.
Can someone explain or point me to a site that explains the differences between report, dynamic pages, frame drivers and portlets? I am trying to understand when I might use say a dynamic page rather than a report, etc. Also, does the PDK functionality complement Portal or is it it's own web development tool entirely?
I thank you for your shared knowledge
Mark

gday Mark -
There is actually a portal specific forum on OTN which is where the portal experts are all concentrated. See, <a href="http://technet.oracle.com:89/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Oracle9[ii[/i+AS+Portal&number=70&DaysPrune=20&LastLogin=">Oracle9iAS Portal</a>
If you've not seen it, there is a ton of good info available for portal. See the page for
<A HREf="http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/iportal/doc_index.htm">Portal</a> whitepapers, tutories, faqs, etc.
The PDK is a set of APIs which expose the services provided by Oracle9iAS Portal. This enables you to build your own custom portlets (the building blocks of a portal and it's pages) using your preferred development language and environment. Note that you can also expose a lot of the inbuilt functionality of portal as portlets to enable the easy reuse of people's work.
See <a href="http://portalstudio.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=350&_dad=ops&_schema=OPSTUDIO">Oracle Portal Studio</a> site for more details on the PDK and portlets.
cheers!

Portal Forms / Reports / Dynamic Pages slow to compile

We are running Portal 3.0.9.8.5 and RDBMS 8.1.7.4. Since applying the 30985 patchset we are finding that compiling existing or new applications takes nearly 5 minutes.
The applications themselves run fine - Does anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Anu,
Generating the form /report/dynamic page is taking 5 plus minutes i.e. making a change -
Once the application is compiled it runs fine.
Thanks

Please give the diagrams to explain the difference between MVC1 and MVC2

Please give the functional diagrams to explain the difference between MVC1 and MVC2

there is no MVC1 or MVC2, only the MVC pattern. The implementation of the MVC is fairly open-ended and there are some variations that are not named as different "versions" because each variation still has the same pattern: there is a model, there are views and there are controllers. What you list as a "feature" of MVC2 in your other post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=719812&tstart=0
is merely the implementation of a front controller (becoming more popular nowadays) in stead of using multiple controllers. There is no change in pattern, only in implementation.

Could someone please explain the difference between 3g and cellular please. Many thanks.

Please could someone explain the difference between an i pad with wi fi + 3g and wi fi + cellular, thank you

Older iPads got 3G service and were called Wi-Fi + 3G. Newer iPads can connect to faster cellular networks and those are given different names by the major carrier so to simplify things Apple calls the newer models Wi-Fi + Cellular.
iPads with 3G or Cellular are NOT used like a mobile phone. They do not make phone calls or send SMS or MMS text messages, They do connect to the data network and can connect to the web.

Could someone please explain the difference between Projects Intelligence and Projects Analytics?

Create Crystal Report Dynamically using XML based design metadata

Hi,
I have a CR Report Development environment. Please refer to workflow and requirement description below;
I have a Java application(Report Customization Tool), which allows users to dynamically select structure and content for a report.
The process goes as follows:
1. In Java Application, user first gets option to select Report Header, Page Orientation, Font etc for master report.
2. User can select a sub-report (pre-developed report frames. Not Sure about tool.) and apply the same format option (mentioned in step 1, except orientation) to it.
3. User can select individual row/data cell to be displayed on the report through reference to DB tables in sub-reports.
4. There can be N number of sub-reports each with independant formatting, data and data layout that could be integrated in single report.
5 Once all selection is done, Java code generates an XML with all this info.
Now, my requirement is dynamically write CR report based on this XML. I am not using BO enterprise, hence RAS SDK is out of scope. This report will be called thorough stand-alone .NET application in CITRIX environment.
Can we do it in CR XI/CR 2008?
Please feel free to comment in case you need more info. But I won't be able to post screenshots. NDA of course!
Thanks in advance.

I moved your post to the NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
To start, you have a fair bit of work ahead of you. The Crystal reports SDK will not do the job. You will have to use the InProc RAS SDK which is included in both CR XI and CR 2008. I'd recommend going with CR 2008 as CR XI R1 (11.0) is out of support now and CR XI R2 (11.5) will be out of support come June of 2011. Next, make sure you have applied SP 3 for CR 2008:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
As an FYI, all files can be found on the downloads page:

In a dynamic page how to share variable between PL/SQL and javascript

For example, my dynamic page contains such PL/SQL codes:
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
info varchar(100);
rowid urowid;
procedure doDelete(
row_id in urowid
) IS
begin
Delete From xxx
WHERE rowid = row_id;
end doDelete;
BEGIN
Select name, rowid INTO info, rowid
From xxx Where xxx;
HTP.PRN(' <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="show value" onClick="alert(info);">');
HTP.PRN(' <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="delete" onClick="doDelete(_row_id);">');
END;
</ORACLE>
The variable 'info' and '_row_id' are correct, however the two HTP. sentence do not work. What's the problem?
What I want to do is to show all the records in TABLE A in a page. And at the end of each line (record), there' re a 'delete' and a 'update' button to let user operate on this record. Is this possible? I know form can do delete an update, but it can not show all the records in a page like what report does. Besides dynamic page, is there any other better choice? Report can do it?
One more question. In a report, I employed link on one field to a second report. It works well. But I want to open the second report in a new window when the link is click. Is this possible?
I was almost driven crazy by these :( I so appreciate if anyone can help.

The code written by you is insufficient for the funtionality you are trying to achieve. Below is a method to achieve the same.
Note: Used standard scott.emp table for the example which is located in my db provider schema.
Do the below modifications as per your local configuration
xxxxx -> Replace it with your Portal schema
yyyyy -> Replace it with your db provider schema
<<module_id_of_form>> -> Replace with the module id of form created in step 1 & 2.
First and foremost... oracle does not allows variables starting with '_'. So if you want to use it you have to place it in double quotes ("")
rowid -> illegal
"_row_id" -> legal.
However, I will advice you not to use variable names starting with "_".
Now lets get started...
1. Create a form on the table you are using in the dynamic page. Just have the update button. Remove the other buttons.
2. Get the module id of this form. Instruction for getting the module id:
a) Right-click on the form's run link and copy the shortcut
b) Get the value of p_moduleid parameter. This is your module id.
3. Create a procedure "save_action_details" in your db provider schema. This procedure will accomplish the delete operation on the record.
     CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure save_action_details(
     p_rowid IN VARCHAR2,
     p_action IN VARCHAR2,
     p_dyn_ref_path IN VARCHAR2,
     p_dyn_page_url IN VARCHAR2)
     is
     l_sto_session xxxxx.wwsto_api_session;
     begin
     l_sto_session := xxxxx.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
     p_domain => 'DynStore',
     p_sub_domain => 'DynStore_' || p_dyn_ref_path
     l_sto_session.set_attribute(
     p_name => 'rowid',
     p_value => p_rowid
     l_sto_session.set_attribute(
     p_name => 'action',
     p_value => p_action
     l_sto_session.save_session;
     htp.init;
     owa_util.redirect_url(p_dyn_page_url);
     end save_action_details;
Explaination: The above procedure creates a session and keeps the rowid and action in the session. This information is used by the below dynamic form to perform the necessary action. In our exampl, the action is always going to be delete so you may go ahead and hard code it, else leave it as it is.
4. Grant execute privilege on the procedure "save_action_details" to public.
sql> grant execute on save_action_details to public;
5. Create your Dynamic page.
a) In HTML code section have the below code. This code shows some columns from the table and "update" and "delete" buttons to perform the respective action.
     <ORACLE>select empno,ename,rowid,
     '<input type="button" value="Update" onClick="doAction(this.form,''UPD'',''xxx'','''
     || xxxxx.wwv_standard_util.url_encode(rowid) || '''); tWin();">
     <input type="button" value="delete" onclick="doAction(this.form,''DEL'',''' || rowid || ''',''xxx'');">' Action
     from yyyyy.emp</ORACLE>
b) In additional pl/sql code section of dynamic page, have the below pl/sql block "in after displaying the header" section.
     declare
     l_sto_session xxxxx.wwsto_api_session;
     l_del_rowid varchar2(20);
     l_action varchar2(10);
     begin
     htp.comment('User code starts here ...');
     htp.p('<script>');
     htp.p('var winHandle;');
     htp.p('
     function doAction(formObj, action, rowid, erowid)
          if (action == "UPD")
          var formURL = "' || xxxxx.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=<<module_id_of_form>>&p_arg_names=_rowid&p_arg_values=') || '" + erowid;
          winHandle = window.open(formURL, "winDynUpd", "width=750,height=500,resizable=yes");
          else
          formObj.p_rowid.value = rowid;
          formObj.p_action.value = action;
          formObj.submit();
     function tWin() {
          if (winHandle.closed) {
          document.location = document.location;
          else {
          setTimeout("tWin()", 500);
     htp.p('</script>');
     htp.p('<form name="dynRowProcess" method="POST" action="'
     || xxxxx.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('save_action_details','yyyyy')
     || '">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_rowid">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_action">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_dyn_ref_path" value="' || p_reference_path || '">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_dyn_page_url" value="' || p_page_url || '">');
     l_sto_session := xxxxx.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
     p_domain => 'DynStore',
     p_sub_domain => 'DynStore_' || p_reference_path
     l_del_rowid := l_sto_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('rowid');
     l_action := l_sto_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('action');
     if l_action = 'DEL' then
     delete from yyyyy.emp
     where rowid = l_del_rowid;
     end if;
     end;
Explaination: The session information (rowid and action) stored by "save_action_details" procedure is retrieved by the dynamic page and is used to delete the record.
6. Once you are through with the above steps, test it by placing the above "dynamic page" portlet on a page.
a) When you click on delete button the record gets deleted and the automatically refreshed page will not show the deleted record.
b) On clicking update button, a form will appear. do the necessary modifications in data and click update. the data in the form gets updated. Once you close the form the dynamic page gets refreshed automatically and it will show you the updated information.

Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM

Hi Experts,
I am new to CRM. Can someone tell me the Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM.
It will be very useful if someone explains with example.
Some where in SDN i read in CRM we should not select statment. Then how to fetch data?
Please give me more basic concepts about CRM programming.
Thanks,
RAGU

Hi Ragu,
You can find much information at http://service.sap.com/crm-inst.
Go to Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP Business Suite Applications -> SAP CRM
Check the CRM version in which you are working and get the documents.
FMs are specific to the requirement. Like all Business Partner related FMs generally start with BUPA* or BAPI_BUPA*.
For CRM transaction data you can get info using FM CRM_ORDER_READ. To create a new transaction use CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN and CRM_ORDER_SAVE.
More information can be fetched by surfing through the SDN threads and checking in SE37 t-code.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

URGENT: iframe in a dynamic page. Strange Problem.

Hi all,
I have a typical problem.
I created a Dynamic Page which brings out the information of a Purchase Order (PO). (PO_REPORT)
Now the numer of items in a PO can vary from 1 to anything.... so I made a seperated report based on sql query (ITEM_DETAILS) which I can restrict to 5 records. Now I called this report using the <iframe> tag and passing the parameter value of the PO number to this report.
Until here everything is fine.
But the problem starts after this. I have a item code on this report (ITEM_DETAILS) which has an underlying link, clicking on which it runs the same report with an added parameter of Requisition number which again populates another iframe in the same dynamic page along with the Requistion details for that item.
But as the Dynamic page is loaded, the ITEM_DETAILS report's first 5 items are shown again. Even if I click on the item link on the 6th item (which will come on the next page) after the dynamic page is loaded, the first page will be loaded again.
Is there a way by which I can reach the same place after clicking on the link or if I click on the item code link only the contents of the requistion details frame are changed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Calling a form in a dynamic page

Hi all,
We are using dynamic pages for the creation of custom portlets. We can call a report in html tag by calling report.show procedure. What will I write for calling a form?
Thanx,
Gulsah

Gulsah,
In the component management screen you can find a URL-style "Run Link" which looks like this:
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.new_instance?p_moduleid=1060253649
Also can put this PLSQL code:
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link (
p_arg_names => '_moduleid', p_arg_values => '[module id]',
p_arg_names => '_show_header',p_arg_values => 'YES');
where [module id] is your form id
for more information please see the Portal FAQ:

Difference between report TJ12 - TPM13

Could somebody please explain the difference between the Treasury report TJ12 and the TPM13 report.
It seems thatthe TJ12 report only takes into account the flow types, while the TPM13 report takes into account the update types...
I would like to know why these reports are used. Purpose of report, etc...
Thanx,
Stef

Sorry I have been away for a couple of days.
The exact functionality = I would like to have a report that gives all flows of all outstandings (loans, investments,...) that happen between a certain period.
E.g. Suppose I have two loans:
1 Loan 1 = start date 01 January --> end date 01 May
2 Loan 2 = start date 01 March --> end date 01 april
If I set my period for report from the 01 march till the 31 march, the report needs to select all the outstanding of that period and it needs to display all flows for those outstanding loans, also the flows that happen before and after the selected period of the 01 march till the 01 april.
With a normal outstanding report I get only the outstabnding amounts, with a flow report (TJ12 or TPM13) it will only select the flows that happen between the 01 march and the 01 april. But I need all flows so also investment amount on the 01 january and repayment on the 01 May
Any ideas for a report that can do this?
tx,
Stef

Difference between Report screens vs Dynpros

Hi All:
Could someone please tell me what is the difference between report selection screens and dynpros?
Thanks.
Mithun

Hi
See the doc for Web Dynpros
Web Dynpro ABAP
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/db22242d-0701-0010-28a2-aeaa1fefd706
Hope that the following also helps you.
Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web
applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical
development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP
Workbench (SE80).
Web Dynpro offers the following advantages for application developers:
The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation
effort
Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
Strict separation between layout and business data
Reuse and better maintainability by using components
The layout and navigation is easily changed using the Web Dynpro tools
Stateful applications are supported that is, if the page is changed and the required
data remains intact so that you can access it at any time throughout the entire
application context.
Note that stateless applications are not possible.
Automatic data transport using data binding
Automatic input check
Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
User interface accessibility is supported
Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
Web Dynpro Architecture
Definition
Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces (UIs).
The Web Dynpro model is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, and has the
following features that build on the classic dynpro model:
Clear separation of business logic and display logic
Uniform metamodel for all types of user interfaces
Execution on a number of client platforms.
Extensive platform independence of interfaces
Structure
Metamodel Concept
Web Dynpro provides support for developing Web representation of a business application.
You use specific tools to describe the properties of a Web Dynpro application in the form of
Web Dynpro metadata. The necessary source code is then generated automatically and
executed at runtime. In addition to the events offered by the framework, you can also define
your own events for a Web Dynpro application. However, the event handling must always be
programmed in separate source code areas which are executed automatically when the event
is triggered at runtime.
In Web Dynpro, each user interface is always made up of the same basic elements. These
elements of the metamodel can be statically declared using Web Dynpro tools.
It is also possible to implement elements of the metamodel at runtime and to change them or
reintegrate them at runtime. Using these implementations, you can make any changes or
enhancements to a user interface that has been created by declarative methods by
generating new interface structures at runtime.
This means that you can combine declarative processes and the implementation of source
code.
Graphical Development Tools
To support this declarative concept, both the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and the
ABAP Workbench contain a range of Web Dynpro tools. You can therefore generate a large
proportion of a Web Dynpro application using the tools provided, without having to create your
own source code. This applies to the following parts of the application:
Data flow between the front end and back end
Layout of the user interface
Properties of user interface elements
The Web Dynpro tools enable you to create source text areas manually within generated
source texts. These areas are not changed if the source code is regenerated.
Separation of Business and Application Logic
Using Web Dynpro enables a clear separation of business logic and display logic. A Web
Dynpro application runs on the front end and has local or remote access to the back end
system via a service. This means that the display logic is contained in the Web Dynpro
application, while the business logic and the persistence of the business objects run in the
back end system. The following options are currently available for connecting Web Dynpro
applications and the back-end system:
An interface generated using adaptive RFC, through which BAPIs of an SAP system
can be called
An interface for calling Web services
A self-generated interface
The source code required for connecting the Web Dynpro application can be generated
from a UML definition of the Web Dynpro interface. A UML definition can be imported
into the Web Dynpro tools as an XML file.
Conversion of the Model-View-Controller
Conversion of the Model-View-Controller Programming Model
Every Web Dynpro application is structured according to the Model View Controller
programming model:
? The model forms the interface to the back end system and thus enables the
Web Dynpro application access to data.
? The view is responsible for the representation of the data in the browser.
? The controller lies between the view and the model. The controller formats
the model data to be displayed in the view, processes the user entries made by the
user, and returns them to the model.

Urgent: how to add dynamic page created by portal to your as a portlet in page

i want to add a component i made by portal like dynamic page as a portlet into page in my application. please the answer is so important
thanks

HI,
its easy to do.
1.Create an application.
2.Publish it as Application Provider.
3.In that Application,create objects like dynamic pages,forms or report.
4.Publish Dynamic page as a portlet.
5.Create New Page or edit existing one.
6.Click on add portlet tab and you will see ur dynamic page name in the portlet repository List.
Thats it.

Basic question: how to submit a dynamic page form to a procedure?

I am trying to submit a form created in a dynamic page to a procedure in portal. For some reason the procedure doesn't seem to execute. Can anyone give me a hint?
Here is my code for the form:
<html>
<body>
<oracle>
begin
htp.formOpen('portal_public.submit', 'post');
htp.formText('textbox');
htp.formSubmit('submit', 'submit');
htp.formClose;
end;
</body>
</html>
I have created a procedure called "submit" in the portal_public schema...
Create or Replace PROCEDURE PORTAL_PUBLIC.SUBMIT
p_textbox_string IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'default')
as
begin
htp.print(p_textbox_string);
exception
when others then
null;
end;
When I submit the form I get a generic IE "cannot be found" page.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'm kinda new to this.

I am trying to do the same type of thing. I want to have multiple rows on a form with checkboxes and use a plsql stored procedure to process the rows that are checked. The thing I have found is that is works with form method of 'GET'. I really need to use 'POST' though since I can have many rows to pass. GET attaches the passed variables to the URL. So, in your example, the actual URL would look something like portal_public.submit?p_textbox_string=whateveryoutypedin. Try changing your formOpen to use 'get' and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
Anyone know anything about the difference on GET vs POST please let us know. Thanks!

Explain please differences of report, dynamic page, frame, portlet
