Field alignment gets locked to top-left for last field on subform

Periodically I experience a problem with the last field on a subform. Whatever field alignment I set using Output Designer, when central pro processes the data the and aligns the data topleft. This is a particular problem when outputing financial data which I need to right align because the number of digits before the decimal point is variable. I usually work around this by adding dummy fields at the end of the subform, but this does not always fix it.
Any ideas as to what causes this? (so that I can avoid it)
Or any software fixes for it?
Are there any tools for examining the content of the .ifd or .mdf files, as this may through light on the cause.
Adobe Central Pro Output Server version = 5.5 (also affects 5.4)
Presentment target = PDF
Windows version = 2000 professional
Many thanks in advance, Stephen

Thank you for the feedback.
I have changed a some of the field positions/widths and changed the alignment from top-right to middle-right and the problem seems to have gone away.
I could not see a way of determining the printable regions of the page. The output I am crfeating is a PDF file.
I am still concerned that I don't understand the problem well enough to avoid it in the future.

Hi, what do you mean when you say they get "locked"?

Entered text alignment in middle, not top left...how to fix?

I have a text field that's about .5" tall. When a user enters information into the field the entered content begins in the middle of the area. As they enter more information the center alignment seems to go away and the text moves up to simulate top left alignment (the field has expand to fit on also). So, 1) do I have to make the cell smaller for it to have top left alignment and subsequently throwing off the look of the form or 2) is there a way to get the cell to have top left alignment?
Thanks for any help!

You can align the input to top, middle or bootom as well as right, left or center. These settings are contained on the font palette. The palette is probably not visible to you, so go to the Window Menu and turn the font palette on (or hit the shift F4 shortcut key). Now click on th eobject you want to align and look at the Font palette. Jsut below the Tabs is a line that says what you are editinng (by default it is set to caption and value). Change it to edit just the value. Now you can set the alignment by clicking on the paragraph tab and choosing the options that you want.

Align page to the top left ?

Hi everyone !
First of all all my thanks to this great forum, it solved lots of questions in advance.
Here´s one I couldn´t find an answer to:
Most of the internet pages I know don´t have the page automatically centered in the browser, but have it aligned
to the top left. So that on openinig the page you hardly ever
see the browser background. Only if increasing browser size the background will come up on the bottom and left.
I know that the iweb behaviour of placing the page automatically center can´t be altered easily, but maybe there is a way to do this via html ?
Thanks for the answer !

iweb ! Ok, so I should try to see the page source,
find the text about window/browser placement and do
what people do, who can read and write Jawa/html. Hm
LOL! many people had tried to look at my page source and didn't see much there.
I´m afraid that´s not me, but maybe you can point me
to the lines to alter ? Besides: iweb´s behavior of
There is no need to look for the code, iWeb code is very structural so adding the following line to the end of your page (after /html>) will do the job:
<script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById('body_content').style.marginLeft = '0px';</script>
Do not add the above to HTML code if you use .mac blog and its commenting system. Alter (.mac blog) HTML will potentially mess it up.

Foreign key fields not getting populated in datacontrol palette for EJB app

Hi,
I am quite new to ADF and EJB.I developed a jdeveloper application with JSF and EJB tiers.(I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.5)
For database the default HR database is used.I created the entities for the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS table.
I also created a session bean and a data control for the session bean.
I am having a JSF page that receives all the details of a new Employee and insert into database (i.e persistEntity)
But the Employees constructor from the Data control palette is not populating the MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID fields which are
the foreign key constraints for the EMPLOYEES table and hence while trying to persist the entity
with the auto populated fields an error message is thrown.
If I used ADF BC instead of EJB then i could populate all the fields including MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID.
Is it possible to have two text fields for Manager and Department in the jsf to insert the Employee details with EJB as the Model?.
If possible how do I bind the values of these fields to the Employees entity object in EJB.
Kindly need your insights on this.
Thanks,
Guna.

Hi,
How are you using MANAGER_ID and DEPARTMENT_ID fields, are they exposed as Long (or some other numeric type), or did you map them on the entity, something like this
@ManyToOne
private Employee manager; // this by default uses the column named MANAGER_ID
@ManyToOne
private Department department; // this by default uses the column named DEPARTMENT_ID
.... If you mapped them (which is the right way), when you create an employee you should set these attributes before persisting the entity, by using employee.setManager(manager) and employee.setDepartment(department). Then, the foreign keys get populated automatically by your persistence provider (Toplink).
If you are using data controls, it is a little different process to set the department and manager, but you should take a look at this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/ps1/ejb/ejb.html , it will hopefully answer a lot of your questions.

Field is expanding over the top of the following fields

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the expanding field expands just fine, but over the top of the next fields. I have two hidden subforms that are displayed when the user clicks a radio button. The subform is flowed. Each of the fields is in a flowed subform with Multiple lines, page breaks and expand to fit checked. The subform for the page is set to flowed as well. Document is saved as dynamic.
Thanks,

Hi!
Do you have checked the "Auto fit" checkbox at the Layout tab for the floating subform?

Af:showPopupBehavior aligns popup window at top-left window JDev 11.1.1.0.0

Hi,
I am using af:showPopupBehavior to show a popup. I have specified alignid but popup is not align to my component. It is shown at left corner at the top of my browser. I also retried removing alignid and take default setting. No luck.
Here is my code:
<af:panelGroupLayout clientComponent="true" *{color:#ff0000}id="pg1"{color}* layout="scroll" inlineStyle="max-height:#{pageFlowScope.maxHeight == null || pageFlowScope.maxHeight == '' ? '250': '100'}px">
<af:popup id="detailedMessage" contentDelivery="lazyUncached"
launcherVar="source" eventContext="launcher">
<af:outputText value="#{AMFMessagingServiceInstance.currentMessageOwnerId}" escape="false"/>
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{source.attributes.detailedText}" to="#{pageFlowScope.detailedtext}" type="popupFetch"/>
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{source.attributes.detailedText}"
to="#{AMFMessagingServiceInstance.currentMessageOwnerId}" type="popupFetch"/>
</af:popup>
<af:commandButton clientComponent="true" id="alginMe" visible="false" text="test"/>
<af:forEach items="#{pageFlowScope.messageListener.messages}" var="message" varStatus="msgVS">
<af:panelGroupLayout clientComponent="true" layout="horizontal" valign="top" id="testing2">
<f:facet name="separator">
<af:spacer width="20" height="30"/>
</f:facet>
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pg2" clientComponent="true" layout="vertical" inlineStyle="padding:10%;">
<af:image id="image1" shortDesc="#{message.text}" source="#{message.imageFileName}" rendered="#{message.imageFileName != ''}" clientComponent="true">
<af:clientAttribute name="detailedText" value="#{message.detailedText}"/>
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="detailedMessage" triggerType="click"
{color:#ff0000}*alignId="pg1"*{color}/>
</af:image>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:forEach>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
I am using this code fragment as a region. JDev version is 11.1.1.0.0. I also noticed if I change popup content deliver type to "lazy", I kind of got desired alignment, but I can't cache my popup window content as it is changing.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Feng

Hi,
I think the problem comes from using the af:forEach element, which only stamps the components. Components that are stamped don't have a client object and just cannot be used for alignment. I think that using af:iterator is the way to do it so instances of the components are created.

Quantity field not getting update in PCA document for Goods Receipt

We have the Purchase Account activated for our company code.
For movement type 101 (Goods Receipt), I am getting the quantity field updated for GR/IR account and Stock Account (B/S item).
But the quantity field is not getting updated for the "Purchase Account" and the "other offsetting PL A/C).
Please advice whether I am missing something.
Regards
B.Mohanty

Hi Aravind,
Check SAP notes 1063198 and 1117587.
FAGLL03 display quantity which is updated in FAGLFLEXA, BSEG is not
relevant in this case. This is clearly explained in the note 1063198.
The quantity posts through to FI on the 'goods receipt' items, but not on the
'invoice receipt' items.
In the FI normally the Quantity is not a 'real' important field, as it
is more related to the MM area.
But in the old 'Profit Center Accounting' and the old' Special Ledger'
the field has been important.
As the same logic of these areas to 'store' the Quantity is also used
in the NewG/L the field get only filled in the line, where it make
'sense' from our point of view, because only in the 'goods receipt'
lines a 'real' Quantity is posted to the system.
So as before in the PCA and SL, now also in the NewG/L the Quantity is
filled in the correct and important lines and postings.
In the BSEG ('old document segment table') the field is filled 'just'
as it is send to the FI, but this is not completely correct from the
business point of view.
This can also lead to issues with the reporting and summation to this
field. So with creating the new logic in the NewG/L the 'correct'
standard of the 'writing' for the Quantity has also been taken over.
So in the end, the update and display is correct according SAP standard behavior.
Actually,Quantities within G/L are never reliable,
because the purpose of FI is a view on the data according to amount
but not according to quantity.
In the FI normally the Quantity is not a 'real' important field, as it
is more related to the MM area.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Regards,
Fernando

Firefox is locked in top-left corner of my screen, missing Title bar

FF 11.0 The menu bar is displayed but disabled (greyed-out), and I can't Min or Max FF (no buttons). Presumably I could Alt-F4 it, but I don't want to, I just want to be able to move it again. This seems to have happened as a result of accidentally depressing some sequence of keys on the left side of the keyboard. I had to start a new instance of FF to access Help. Any ideas?

Maybe you opened a website in a tab that has disabled some elements in the user interface.
You can try to open a new window (Ctrl+N) and if it works in that window then drag the open tabs to that window and close the not working window.

Change field alignment for field type currency / float

Hello Experts.
I have a requirement : I want to align the field in the webUI on the right, not the label.
Actually for the attribute type currency or float, it is at aligned at the right position.
I see the configuration description and the XML file. I try to modify that XML file to add the attrinute ALIGN = "LEFT" for the field
But it is too hard and I want to know if there is another solution that reading/modifying this XML file.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
I had seen the method get_parameter but how to do this? As I know it, it only change the value returned not any kind of format.
I think the value is correct but the layout of the field is not correct.
I can change the *.htm of the class and put some css code but I think it is not the solution.
Can you help me please? it is urgent.
Thanks and regards

Aligning elements to grid on top left corner

Hi everyone,
I often use the snap to grid which is nice to organize stuff.
However, I was wondering is it possible to align the elements
specifically to the top left corner of the grid, or top right corner etc..
Ted.

No.. that isn't what I meant.. what I meant is when you have snap to grid activated (It's hard to show it here but suppose that my table is a grid with equal sized squares) . I have an irregular text object A.. that aligns automatically to the top left of the grid squares.. I want it in the bottom right corner.
A
I later found out that it doesn't do it with text object.. but if I convert the text to outlines.. I can then align it to the bottom right corner of the grid squares.

Use Top/Left instead of webkit transform in Adobe Edge Animate

I had a nice simple interaction using Adobe Edge Animate with jquery ui draggable and droppable. You drag boxes from one area into other places. All worked fine.
Then, I decided to add an entrance animation for the boxes. That ruined everything because jquery draggable animates the top: left: values of your object, but somehow adding animation in Edge made it set top: and left: to 0 and use webkit transformX / Y.
So now as soon as I begin dragging, the box jumps way down because draggable is animating the top: left:, and Edge Animate is keeping the transform
Is there a way to force EA to use top: left: for animation? Note, part of the box entrance includes a rotation, so possibly that's why it decided to use transform so it could do the X / Y and rotate all in one.
Any ideas?

I'm sorry, the blog post was not helpful for this situation. The problem is that in AE you can animate "Top" and "Left", but you have no control over whether that becomes a transformX /Y or a change to the css top: left:. AE makes it's own mind up. It seems that once you somthing other than just move the item (eg rotate or scale) it decides to stop using top /left and combine it all into a single transform including x y and rot. AE does not let you choose to animate the css top: left: property and also add a css transform for rot.
nevertheless, I've found a working hack for now. when the drag starts, I add a class
.notransition {
-webkit-transform:none!important;
transform:none!important;
and so the transform is erased and the drag works perfectly. The weird thing is that after I drop, I DO NOT remove the class. It stays for the remainder of the time. Now that I think about it, it makes sense, since the transform is none and the top: and left have been permanently modified by jquery-ui draggable.
If I still wanted to do any further animation after that, I imagine it would get very weird.
so anyway, ability to force x and y transformations to use top: left: instead of transform would be a key feature for a (near) future release.

Fields not getting disable

Hi All,
I am using PCUI application CRMM_ACCOUNT with Old Floor Plan. I want to make field Country as Read only. So I selected FieldGroup as ACC_SRES_COUNTRY and field Conutry. I made field as 'Read only'. Due to this my field gets disable in List view but when i check same field in Detail View it is enabled.
Has anyone have idea what i am missing or what is reason for it?
Regards,
Vikas

Hi Vikas
I also faced the same problem and get resolved it by making some extra work.
are you using any view of this application ?if yes than
what you need to do is to make country field read only for your view. for that copy all the fields with your view in same field group. now check the read only for this field.
I am sure it will resolve the issue
Regards!!

Search Help for standard field in WEB GUI

Hello Experts
There are F4 help for Business Partners (street and district that are standard address fields) and it is visible from SAP GUI. However in WEB UI there are no input help (although they are standard) for these fields.
Is there customizing step for it or do we need to write some codes (get_v, get_p methods) in order to get F4 help.
Thanks in advance,
Erkan

Try creating design layer in SPRO>CRM>UI FRAMEWORK>UI FRAMEWORK DEFINITION>MAINTAIN DESIGN LAYERS
Enter component for business partner and define new design layer. To this layer assign a field by which you want to search.
Then go to SPRO>CRM>UI FRAMEWORK>UI FRAMEWORK DEFINITION>CONFIGURE USER INTERFACE. Again enter the same component and go to the relevant context node and then field. Then assign to that field newly created design layer.
Info about components, context nodes and fields you get by pressing F2 on thous 2 fields in WEB UI.
