Feature Request: Access to Pathfinder functions from JS

It would be incredibly helpful to have access to the pathfinder from the JS API.
These functions are pretty complex and rewriting them would surely result in slight implementation differences.

it would be indeed fantastic if we had access to pathfinders

Access Report Custom Functions from code

Post Author: leedo
CA Forum: .NET
Hello,
I am using VS2005 (VB) and was able to change formula text from within code using the "FormulaFieldDefinitions" object. However, I am having problems finding out how I can do the same to Report Custom Functions. The reason I am doing all this is that I noticed during my Windows app is running the source of my .rpt file is thrown in the user "Local Settings\Temp" folder and all code is revealed by simply opening that file. Please help. ThanksLeedo

It looks like it is not possible to access the custom functions within a report using the CR .NET SDK. However, to address the potential security issue that you may be concerned about, is this a Windows or ASP.NET application? If this is an ASP.NET application, then you shouldn't have to worry about the security as the end-user (client) will not be able to access that folder since the rest of the web server is typically unaccessible by the client.
Another way to secure your reports is to use what we call "managed reporting" solutions such as Crystal Report Server or Business Objects Enterprise, which manages reports securely and your users are only allowed to access/see what you allow them to. These solutions also provide public SDKs so you could incorporate the system into your own applications. For more information, go to www.businessobjects.com/products.

Accessing developer 6i functions from C++ builder

how can i call a function in dev 6i from a c++ builder application and pass its arguments and retrieving the result from an oracle database?

Hi,
you can not call a function from forms but you can call a stored procedure/function.
From Metalink, an example of How to call stored procedure returning date as out parameter
Overview
This example demonstrates how to call a stored procedure that returns
a date column as an OUT parameter. The program is written in C using
the ODBC API.
Program Notes
o Steps to build the sample application:
1. create the procedure check_date from the pl/sql provided using
SQL*PLUS or Sqlworksheet.
2. Create a new win-32 console application using MSVC 6.0.
3. Add the an empty cpp source file to the project.
4. Add the ODBC32.lib library to the project. (This should be located
in the Microsoft Visual Studio\vc98\lib directory)
5. Paste the code provided into the .cpp file.
6. Choose the build command from the Build pull down menu.
o The sample was tested using the following components:
1. Windows NT 4.0 SP 6
2. MSVC 6.0
3. Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.6.2.0
4. Oracle RDBMS 8.1.6.0.0
5. Oracle Net 8 8.1.6.0.0
References
Information in this article was taken from Oracle Source Code Repository
Entry # 612.

The sample program in this article is provided for educational purposes only
and is NOT supported by Oracle Support Services. It has been tested
internally, however, and works as documented. We do not guarantee that it
will work for you, so be sure to test it in your environment before relying

Accessing a C function from PL/SQL.

I have a c function that I would like to access from pl/sql, that is call as any other function in pl/sql. Is this possible? Where can I read about it?

Yes, this is possible. You have to use the feature named external procedure that involves Oracle Net configuration. Here is a example with Oracle 8:

Feature Request - Ability to prevent videos from auto playing in Browser

This one isn't totally specific to the Classic, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Currently, when visiting sites such as CNN or CTV News in the BlackBerry Browser and you open an article with a video, it will be begin playing automatically. This can be annoying if you're in a library for example as the sound can be disturbing, but most importantly it's a waste of mobile data.
I would like to see a feature added to the Browser's settings that would be able to prevent any videos from automatically playing to prevent such scenarios from occurring.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the detailed feedback @Zeridialous
I’ll raise this internally to see what can be done to help save bandwidth. Thanks!

Feature request- access to movie playlists

iTunes allows users to create playlists of movies - just as it does playlists of songs. However, the Apple TV only displays movies in a scrollable alphabetical list. When attempting to access a playlist of movies via streaming, the Apple TV gives an alert that there is no music in the playlist.
There is no reason to have this limitation on the Apple TV, and while many users may not care while movie collections are relatively small, the ultimate point of this device, and of the newest itenerationof iTunes, is to manage all your content just as easily and flexibly as you manage your music.
Please consider allowing access to movie playlists in a future software update to the Apple TV.

Feature Request: Sorting of procedures, functions

I'd like the ability to sort the list of procedures and functions in a package in the tree-view on the left. I operate with quite large packages, and sometimes it's hard to spot a single procedure in the list. An option to sort the list would remedy this.

For our 1.1, the tree will have much more control.

Feature request: Select emails by count-from-sender

Please allow me to select emails by count? e.g. indexing all the senders and counting the emails received from each.
Here's how that would help:
When it comes to free up a few Gigs of space in disk and improve Mail's performance, selecting thousands of emails from a few big senders is more effective than attempting the crazy task of bothering ourselves with finding just undreds of emails from hundreds of small senders!
Most of the emails we'd like to be able to handle without deleting them nor letting them to fall into the spam filter's claws, are the ones we ACTUALLY suscribed to, but never had the time to recover the password, login to them, update the email preferences (most times tricky or falsely advertised as "editable", or just impossible)… a total mission certainly harder than just leting them come, and some day delete them all. After all, It's easy: selecting ALL the emails from facebook, hit delete. Done.
Now multiply that for tens of big senders, and it's a pain.
I want to select the emails by COUNT BY SENDER, and be able to slide up or down the threshold to select them.
Slide to the left, and all emails from senders with at least 2 emails sent will be selected.
Slide to the right and only emails from senders with e.g. 10 emails sent would be selected.
( Read or unread would be a good extra criteria )
That way, I don't need to go through the hundreds of small senders and wear out my brain thinking one by one whether to delete it or not, for what? to delete just a few hundred emails an hour!.
This way I can go through a few giants, and delete thousands at once.
Or is ther a way to do it (script? add-on? rule?) and I didn't find it?

FEATURE REQUEST: illuminate keyboard on wake from sleep and passwd required

I've had my MBA for about a week and a half now. Slick little machine. Love it. There's one thing it doesn't do that's driving me crazy. Well, not literally crazy, but it is annoying. To reproduce:
1. System Preferences -> Security -> check "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver." Quit System Preferences.
2. Press F6 enough times to make sure the keys are illuminated.
3. Close the display and wait for the computer to go to sleep.
4. Open the display and wait for the computer to wake.
5. The screen will turn on and the password prompt will appear. However, the keys are not illuminted! If you're in the dark, you have to hunt for the right keys to enter your password.
6. After you enter your password, you are brought back to whatever you were doing when you closed the display in step 3, and the keys light up.
The keys should light up when you open the display, not once you've unlocked the machine!
Bug!

It's best you send this directly to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Feature request : get latest room function in server to server apis

Hello,
I would like to be able to get the latest created room, check the number of users in there already, and if there is still place send the user there or create a new one.
At the moment I can achieve this by either
1.make a listRooms call and then a getroominfo for the latest room, but if the number of rooms become large this may slow down the app.
2. I could also store the room stats on my server.
What do you think?

Ok thanks

Feature Request: Allow Apps to Access Apple ID User Address

This is a feature request for new iOS functionality
If iOS gave permission for apps to access the home or billing address a user has defined when setting up their Apple ID, then I believe the app can use this address to automatically set up the shipping of a purchased item for example. This would enable apps to sell physical goods, paid for by the user's Apple ID and set up for shipping to his Apple ID address, instantly.
I believe couriers already have SDKs that allow apps to programatically register the pickup and shipment of an item.
Users can then be able to manage their addresses in iOS/iCloud.

This will never happen because of the obvious security implications.

Nokia 808 Pureview feature request for Phone and C...

Hi,
Where would be the best venue to make feature requests for the 808 functions? These are some nice-to-have ideas that I would like to propose, which would increase its awesomeness:
- in video mode, add a "lock exposure" setting so that the 808 doesn't continuously adjust exposure after recording starts. this would be equivalent to setting the exposure to manual on a regular videocam.
- in photo creative mode, add a voice-activated self-timer, where it would take a shot when sound reaches a certain threshold. this is similar to what the Shout 'n Snap app does for the android.
- in phone calls, add an option to use proximity sensing, so that when you take the phone away from your ear, the handset automatically switches to speaker phone, or vice versa. this would be equivalent to the Phone Speakers Switcher on the N900.
Thanks

i'd like to make an addendum to my request and change it to "lock exposure and white balance".
i just found that while shooting, it does not keep the white balance setting throughout. for example, select "tungsten" and the video will start with this, but later it adjusts as if it was under "auto" white balance setting for the rest of the video.

Unable to access Custom UDTs returned from a Java Stored Procedure

Hi,
I have a UDT in the DB :-
create type contactrecord as object (
CN_ID NUMBER(8),
CN_TITLE VARCHAR2(40),
CN_FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(25)
and this is the corresponding java class ContactDetails.java that maps to this UDT, that I loaded in the Aurora VM.
package package1;
mport java.sql.SQLData;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.SQLInput;
import java.sql.SQLOutput;
public class ContactDetails implements SQLData
private String sql_type;
private long CN_ID;
private String CN_TITLE;
private String CN_FIRST_NAME;
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException
return this.sql_type;
//implementation of readSql
public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName) throws SQLException
sql_type = typeName;
CN_ID = stream.readLong();
CN_TITLE = stream.readString();
CN_FIRST_NAME = stream.readString();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException
stream.writeLong(CN_ID);
stream.writeString(CN_TITLE);
stream.writeString(CN_FIRST_NAME);
//getters and setters for the class vars go here.....
There is another class A.java that has a java stored procedure/function, which I loaded into the Aurora VM
Here is the class.
package package1;
public class A
public static ContactDetails returnObject(String name )
ContactDetails cd = new ContactDetails();
cd.setCN_ID(1);
cd.setCN_FIRST_NAME(name);
return cd;
Then I declared the call spec for A.returnObject() as
FUNCTION returnObject(name varchar2) return contactrecord
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'package1.A.returnObject(java.lang.String) return package1.ContactDetails';
Then I tried to call the function returnObject through JDBC calls from a class in another VM.
When I access the object returned by the function, I get a null object.
Here is the Client code:
CallableStatement cs = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try
cs = conn.prepareCall("{ ? = call returnObject(?) }");
java.util.Map map = conn.getTypeMap();
map.put("ADMIN.CONTACTRECORD", Class.forName("package1.ContactDetails"));
conn.setTypeMap(map);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "ADMIN.CONTACTRECORD");
cs.setString(2, "John Doe" );
cs.execute();
ContactDetails cd = (ContactDetails)cs.getObject(1);
System.out.println("contact first name is:-"+cd.getCN_FIRST_NAME()); //Null Pointer here..cd is null....:(
if (cs != null) cs.close();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Although If I try to access the same function from a pl/sql block, I am able
to access the contactrecord fields.
What could be wrong ..???
I could not find any error with the object mapping, as it works perfectly when I interact directly from my VM to the DB,
without going thru the aurora VM.
I am using a OCI driver to connect to the DB via JDBC.
Thanx in advance for any help at all.

Shahid,
I too have had bad luck in many cases with the automatic translation of Java types to PL/SQL and back. I think the SYS package on the PL/SQL side which handles some of the conversion is DBMS_PICKLER (there are equivalent Java classes which do the same in that world and seem to execute automagically when a conversion is needed). You might want to double-check the data type mappings against the DOC on OTN to make sure they map 1-1. Also make sure the permissions are granted against your objects to whoever is executing them, etc. Very often, I've resorted to passing simple scalar types between the two languages as in some cases the results with complex types are inconsistent.
Sorry this isn't much help,

Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

The API currently allows you to use catalog:addPhoto() to add a single photo to the catalog.
This works fine, but a poor user experience when adding a number of photos (esp. dozens or hundreds) - there's a separate child progress bar for each, masking the overall progress, and if the user has a sound enabled on import, it plays the sound on each photo import. If there were a way to import multiple photos at once (or API options/params to disable both of the feedbacks), this would make for a better UX when importing a lot of pictures.

Sorry. I'm having a hard time finding my way around these forums, and the search is less than helpful.
Please point me in the right direction.
Edit: I found the correct forum now, and have recreated my feature requests there and deleted them from this forum (with the exception of this thread, which I can't delete at this point). My apologies.
