Filter 0's from webi results

Hi all,
How do we filter out 0's from a report in Webi. We can do it in crystal can we accomplish the same in webi.
We have our universe on a BEx Query.
Regards
pali

Hi,
I assume we talk about actual "0" as value. Best option would be to suppress those (see query options) already in the BW query or define a filter in case it is for a particular keyfigure or set the filter in the Web Intelligence query panel.

Refresh of Data in Xcelsius from Web Intelligence Results

Hello,
I am new to the forum but not to Business Objects/Xcelsius. I attended the SAP Sapphire Event last May and spent time in the Business Objects lab. Two Product Managers demonstrated how I would be able to refresh the data in an Xcelsius dashboard using Live Office by retreiving results from a Webi document without refreshing the Webi query.
For example, my Webi document contains 100,000 result rows. I want to be able to select a dropdown in my dashboard and have Live Office retreive only a subset of the 100,000 rows. This being done without having the Webi query being refreshed from the database. The Webi query would be refreshed nightly.
The Product Managers advised that this functionality would be available in Service Pack 3 or before. As of now I cannot find out how to make this work. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Charles,
WebIntelligence Input Controls are a way to enhance and customize user experience with report filters, they are therefore based on report filters and the feature is more focused on user interface & experience rather than exposition outside web intelligence.
Anyway, AFAIK, report filters are not available from Live Office report parts, you can only filter content with prompts, which requires the document to be refresh from the database, which has a direct impact on performance and scalability for consumers.
However, if you are with WebIntelligence XI 3.1 SP2 you have the alternative to publish from WebI Rich Client, report elements (any table or chart) as web services (called BI Services).
This tool is based on Qaaws technology, and share some of its features (main being that is uses the same Xcelsius Data Manager connection), it exposes a large part of WebI interactions to external consumers (esp. Xcelsius) : report filters, drill, prompts.
Besides this tool provides a set of call input parameters to tune web service consumption for best performance and scalability, enabling to leverage WebI document management features like scehduling, publishing and refresh, so consumers can balance performance with real-time data.
More information is available from WebIntelligence Rich Client user documentation from section sharing webi content with other web applications.
I recommend you install the latest fix pack (SP2.5 and above), as some initial fixes were required to ensure full compatibility with Xcelsius.
Hope that helps,
David.

Facing problem while going to catch return result from web-services.

Hi everybody,
I am new to BPEL. I am facing problem while going to catch the attributes of resultsets returning from web-services(QAS). As far as my knowledge, two types of results it should return - XML entities and another is attributes which is coming as the part of XML entitites. I am able to catch the XML entities, but can't catch the attributes under it. Even, I am not able to see whether web-services returning something within that field.
When, I tried to catch the attribute and store to a temporary varilable using the following code:
*<assign name="AssignQASDoGetAddress1">*
*<copy>*
*<from variable="InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable"*
part="body"
query="/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded"/>
*<to variable="temp"/>*
*</copy>*
*</assign>*
but, I am facing the following selectionFailure errors after running it:
*"{http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure" has been thrown.*
-<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
-<part name="summary">
*<summary>*
empty variable/expression result.
xpath variable/expression expression "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')" is empty at line 269, when attempting reading/copying it.
Please make sure the variable/expression result "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')"is not empty.
*</summary>*
*</part>*
*</selectionFailure>*
Getting this error it seems to me that web-service is returning nothing, but, it returns something as it has been catched using a method called isPostcodeRecoded() Java Code in Oracle ADF. This method has been used as it should return boolean whereas for catching the xml entities using java code we used the method like getPostcode(), getMoniker().
For your information, we are using Jdeveloper as the development tool for building the BPEL process.
Am I doing any syntax error. Please consider it as urgent and provide me asolution.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dave and Marc, for your suggestions. Actually what I found is QAS web-service is returning nothing as attributes when the attributes are set to the default value. For example, following is the part of the wsdl of the result which QAS webservice returns.

<xs:attribute name="PhantomPrimaryPoint" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
</xs:complexType>
here the attributes like FullAddress, PostcodeRecodedare , etc. are not being return by the web-service when it is getting the default value false. But, if it gets true then , it is being displayed at the BPEL console.
Do you have any idea how can I catch the attributes and its value even when it gets the default value which is already set. Previously, it was returning(it was not being displayed at the console).
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions...!!!

Uploading a text file from webi filter area as part of the query condition

Post Author: balasura
CA Forum: Publishing
Requirement : Uploading a text file from webi filter area as part of the query condition Hi, I am in a serious requirement which I am not sure available in BO XI. Can some one help me plz. I am using BO XI R2, webi I am generating a ad-hoc report, when I want to give a filter condition for a report, the condition should be uploaded from a .txt file. In the current scenario we have LOV, but LOV could hold only a small number of value, my requirement is just like a lov but the list of values will be available in a text file ( which could number to 2000 or 2500 rows). I would like to upload this 2500 values in the form of a flat text file to make a query and genrate report. Is it possible in BO XI? For Eg:- Select * from Shipment Where u201CShipment id = u2018SC4539u2019 or Shipment id = u2018SC4598u2019u201D The u201Cwhereu201D condition (filter) which has shipment id will be available in a text file and it needs to be loaded in the form of .txt file so that it will be part of the filter condition. Content of a .txt file could be this shipment.txt =============== SC4539 sc2034 SC2343 SC3892 . . . . etc upto 2500 shipment Ids I will be very glad if some could provide me a solution. Thanks in advance. - Bala

Applying report filter when using OBIEE web services

Hi
Would like to know if it's possible apply report filter when using the web serivce ? Read from Oracle doc that there's this applyReportParams() method in ReportEditingService that could do the job. Can anyone confirm this ?
Currently we've tried to access the report using the WebCatalogService, read the xml and retrieve the result using the XMLViewService successfully. However there's an additional requirement to pass in the report filter on the fly.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gerardnico,
I have a question regarding the OBIEE Web Services,
We are using C # for Automation code to test Obiee Analysis Web Services,while designing filter in C # to call report we are facing difficulty with Presentation Variable using Variable value. Where as it is working fine for Column value.
Note: The choice list has 2 custom values.
So please guide me in this regard.

Backup/Recovery from web application

Hello guys,
I am using Oracle 9i as DB and Oracle 9iAS for web application server. I want to provide Backup and Recovery functionality to the user via web. I don't know any thing in this regard.
Is it possible that we can take backup and recovery from web application?
Is there any alternative for this function.
any other comments will be appreciated.

Read this article in order to get an idea about Java Stored Procedures.
Oracle Developer JAVA STORED PROCEDURES
Simplify with Java Stored Procedures
By Kuassi Mensah
Use Java stored procedures to bridge SQL, XML, Java, and J2EE and Web Services.
Stored procedures allow a clean separation of persistence logic that runs in the database tier from business logic that runs in the middle tier. This separation reduces overall application complexity and increases reuse, security, performance, and scalability.
A major obstacle, however, for widespread adoption of stored procedures is the set of various proprietary, database-dependent implementation languages that different database vendors use. The use of Java-based stored procedures fixes this concern. Oracle has implemented ANSI standards that specify the ability to invoke static Java methods from SQL as procedures or functions. This implementation is called simply "Java stored procedures."
In this article, you will learn how Java stored procedures help simplify and increase the performance of your business logic and extend database functionality. I'll show how Oracle enables the use of Java stored procedures within the database. I'll also look at how Java stored procedures access data, and show how to create a basic Java stored procedure.
PL/SQL or Java
When you think of Oracle stored procedures, you probably think of PL/SQL. Oracle, however, has provided Java support in the database since Oracle8i, to offer an open and portable alternative to PL/SQL for stored procedures. I can hear the $64,000 question: "How do I choose between PL/SQL and Java? Should I forget all the things I've been told about PL/SQL and move on to the greener Java pastures?"
Both languages are suitable for database programming, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. In deciding which language to use, here's a general rule of thumb:
Use PL/SQL for database-centric logic that requires seamless integration with SQL and therefore complete access to database objects, types, and features.
Use Java as an open alternative to PL/SQL for database independence, but also for integrating and bridging the worlds of SQL, XML, J2EE, and Web services.
OracleJVM Lets You Run Java within the Database
Since Oracle8i, Release 1 (Oracle 8.1.5), Oracle has offered a tightly integrated Java virtual machine (JVM) that supports Oracle's database session architecture. Any database session may activate a virtually dedicated JVM during the first Java code invocation; subsequent users then benefit from this already Java-enabled session. In reality, all sessions share the same JVM code and staticsonly private states are kept and garbage collected in an individual session space, to provide Java sessions the same session isolation and data integrity capabilities as SQL operations. There is no need for a separate Java-enabled process for data integrity. This session-based architecture provides a small memory footprint and gives OracleJVM the same linear SMP scalability as the Oracle database.
Creating Java Stored Procedures
There are a few steps involved in turning a Java method into a Java stored procedure. These include loading the Java class into the database using the loadjava utility, and publishing the Java methods using a call specification (Call Spec) to map Java methods, parameter types, and return types to their SQL counterparts. The following section shows how to do this.
I'll use a simple Hello class, with one method, Hello.world(), that returns the string "Hello world":
public class Hello
public static String world ()
return "Hello world";
The Loadjava Utility
Loadjava is a utility for loading Java source files, Java class files, and Java resource files; verifying bytecodes; and deploying Java classes and JAR files into the database. It is invoked either from the command line or through the loadjava() method contained within the DBMS_JAVA class. To load our Hello.class example, type:
loadjava -user scott/tiger Hello.class
As of Oracle9i Release 2, loadjava allows you to automatically publish Java classes as stored procedures by creating the corresponding Call Specs for methods contained in the processed classes. Oracle provides Oracle9i JDeveloper for developing, testing, debugging, and deploying Java stored procedures.
The Resolver Spec
The JDK-based JVM looks for and resolves class references within the directories listed in the CLASSPATH. Because Oracle database classes live in the database schema, the OracleJVM uses a database resolver to look for and resolve class references through the schemas listed in the Resolver Spec. Unlike the CLASSPATH, which applies to all classes, the Resolver Spec is applied on a per-class basis. The default resolver looks for classes first in the schema in which the class is loaded and then for classes with public synonyms.
loadjava -resolve <myclass>
You may need to specify different resolvers, and you can force resolution to occur when you use loadjava, to determine at deployment time any problems that may occur later at runtime.
loadjava -resolve -resolver "((* SCOTT) (foo/bar/* OTHERS)
(* PUBLIC))"
Call Spec and Stored Procedures Invocation
To invoke a Java method from SQL (as well as from PL/SQL and JDBC), you must first publish the public static method through a Call Spec, which defines for SQL the arguments the method takes and the SQL types it returns.
In our example, we'll use SQL*Plus to connect to the database and define a top-level Call Spec for Hello.world():
SQL> connect scott/tiger
SQL> create or replace function helloworld return
VARCHAR2 as language java name 'Hello.world () return
java.lang.String';
Function created.
You can then invoke the Java stored procedure as shown below:
SQL> variable myString varchar2[20];
SQL> call helloworld() into :myString;
Call completed.
SQL> print myString;
MYSTRING
Hello world
Java stored procedures are callable, through their Call Spec, from SQL DML statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, CALL, EXPLAIN PLAN, LOCK TABLE, and MERGE), PL/SQL blocks, subprograms, and packages, as well as database triggers. The beauty of Call Spec is that stored procedure implementations can change over time from PL/SQL to Java or vice versa, transparently to the requesters.
Call Spec abstracts the call interface from the implementation language (PL/SQL or Java) and therefore enables sharing business logic between legacy applications and newer Java/J2EE-based applications. At times, however, when invoking a database-resident Java class from a Java client, you may not want to go through the PL/SQL wrapper. In a future release, Oracle plans to provide a mechanism that will allow developers to bypass the Call Spec.
Advanced Data-Access Control
Java stored procedures can be used to control and restrict access to Oracle data by allowing users to manipulate the data only through stored procedures that execute under their invoker's privileges while denying access to the table itself. For example, you can disable updates during certain hours or give managers the ability to query salary data but not update it, or log all access and notify a security service.
Sharing Data Logic Between Legacy and J2EE Applications
Because legacy applications and J2EE applications both invoke stored procedures through the Call Spec, the same data logic can be shared between J2EE and non-J2EE worlds. Thanks to Call Spec, this data logic can be shared regardless of the implementation language used (whether PL/SQL or Java).
Autogeneration of Primary Keys for BMP Entity Beans
When using BMP for EJB entity beans, a bean instance can be uniquely identified by the auto-generated primary key associated with the newly inserted data as a return value for ejbCreate(). You can retrieve this value within ejbCreate() in one database operation by using a stored procedure that inserts the corresponding data and retrieves or computes the primary key. Alternatively, you could insert the data and retrieve the corresponding key (or ROWID) in one SQL statement, using the RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS feature in JDBC 3.0. However, the stored procedure approach is more portable across JDBC driver versions and databases.
You can implement this pattern with these three steps:
Create the Java stored procedure, defining a public static Java method insertAccount() within a public GenPK class. This method will insert data, compute a unique key (by passing out a sequence number), and return the computed key as primary key.
Define the Call Spec.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insertAccount(owner IN
varchar, bal IN number, newid OUT number)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'GenPK.insertAccount(
java.lang.String [])';
Invoke the stored procedure within ejbCreate().
Public AccountPK ejbCreate(String ownerName, int balance) throws CreateException
try {
CallableStatement call = conn.prepareCall{
"{call insertAccount(?, ?, ?)}"};
return new AccountPK(accountID);
Custom Primary Key Finders for CMP Entity Beans
Finder methods are used for retrieving existing EJB entity bean instances. Primary key finders allow you to retrieve a uniquely identified EJB instance. For CMP entity beans, the EJB container automatically generates the primary key finder findByPrimaryKey() method, based on declarative description. In some situations, however, you might need more control; for example, you may need a specialized finder such as findByStoredProcKey(). In these situations, you can use Java stored procedures in conjunction with an object relational framework (such as Oracle9i Application Server [Oracle9iAS] TopLink) to implement a custom primary key finder method. After you define the EJB finder as a REDIRECT or NAMED finder, TopLink will generate the SQL query for retrieving the bean instance.
Data-Driven EJB Invocation
In a data-driven architecture, business logic invocation can be triggered as a result of database operations (such as inserts, updates, or deletes). A Java stored procedure implementing the data logic can be declared as a database trigger to invoke EJBs running in a middle-tier J2EE application server. You can make EJB calls by using either standard remote method invocation (RMI) over Interoperable Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP), using a J2EE 1.3 compatible server, or RMI over a vendor-specific transport protocol (such as ORMI with Oracle9iAS/OC4J or RMI over T3 with BEA WebLogic). Each application server vendor has its own optimized protocol while providing RMI over IIOP for interoperability. Oracle9iAS supports both RMI calls over IIOP and ORMI protocols.
Data-Driven Messaging
Oracle9i Database embeds Advanced Queuing (AQ), which is an integrated, persistent, reliable, secure, scalable, and transactional message-queuing framework. Oracle exposes AQ features to Java developers through the standard Java Messaging System (JMS) API. Java stored procedures can invoke AQ operations through the JMS interface to allow fast, intra-session, scalable, data-driven messaging.
Java stored procedures can use JMS to invoke AQ operations. You can implement this pattern in four steps:
Create and start the JMS Queue (to do so, embed the following operations within a SQL script):
execute dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(queue_table =>
'queue1', queue_payload_type =>
'SYS.AQ$_JMS_TEXT_MESSAGE', comment => 'a test queue',
multiple_consumers => false, compatible => '8.1.0');
execute dbms_aqadm.create_queue( queue_name => 'queue1',
queue_table => 'queue1' );
execute dbms_aqadm.start_queue(queue_name => 'queue1');
Create the Java stored procedure (a code snippet is shown):
public static void runTest(String msgBody)
try
// get database connection
ora_drv = new OracleDriver();
db_conn = ora_drv.defaultConnection();
// setup sender (cf online code sample)
// create message
s_msg = s_session.createTextMessage(msgBody);
// send message
sender.send(s_msg);
s_session.commit();
// receive message
r_msg = (TextMessage) receiver.receive();
r_session.commit();
// output message text
String body = r_msg.getText();
System.out.println("message was '"+body+"'");
Create the Call Spec:
create or replace procedure jmsproc (t1 IN VARCHAR)
as language java name 'jmsSample.main (java.lang.String[])';
Invoke the stored procedure:
call jmsproc('hello');
Database-Assisted Web Publishing (Cache Invalidation)
One of the common issues application architects must face is how to cache database information reliably to increase overall system performance. JCACHE is an upcoming standard specification (JSR 107) that addresses this problem. It specifies an approach for temporary, in-memory caching of Java objects, including object creation, shared access, spooling, invalidation, and consistency across JVMs. It can be used to cache read-mostly data such as product catalogs and price lists within JSP. Using JCACHE, most queries will have response times an order of magnitude faster because of cached data (in-house testing showed response times about 15 times faster).
In order to track all the changes to the origin data and refresh the cached data, a Java stored procedure is attached to a table as a trigger. Any change to this table will result in the automatic invocation of this stored procedure, which in turn will call out a defined JSP to invalidate the JCACHE object that maps its state to the database table. Upon invalidation, the very next query will force the cache to be refreshed from the database. Next Steps

Extending Database Functionality
One of the great things about running Java code directly in the database is the ability to implement new functionality by simply loading the code or library and using the Call Spec to make the entry points (public static methods) available to SQL, PL/SQL, Java, J2EE, and non-Java APIs. Oracle9i Database customers can easily extend database functionality. Oracle itself leverages this capability for new utilities and packages such as the XML Developer Kits (XDKs).
Bridging SQL, PL/SQL, Java, J2EE, .NET, and XML
The Oracle XDK is written in Java and exposes its public methods as Java stored procedures, extending the database's XML programmability. SQL, PL/SQL, Java, J2EE, and non-Java (.NET) business logic all have access to the XML parser, the XSLT processor, the XPath engine, and XML SQL Utility (XSU).
The XML parser is accessible through the xmlparser and xmldom packages. XSU is a Java utility that generates an XML document from SQL queries or a JDBC ResultSet, and writes data from an XML document into a database table or view. Using XSU, XML output can be produced as Text, DOM trees, or DTDs. XSU is exposed to PL/SQL through the dbms_xmlquery and dbms_xmlsave packages.
Conclusion
The integration of the Oracle database with a Java VM enables the creation of portable, powerful, database-independent data logic and persistence logic. The loose coupling of business logic that runs in the middle tier with data logic that runs in the database tier improves application scalability, performance, flexibility, and maintenance.

How to include non web pages to the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature?

In Acrobat Pro (v. 10), when I use the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature, it works great for html pages, but it skips non-html links (doc, pdf, ppt, xls, etc). I need Acrobat Pro to convert those files and put them in the order as well. I don't see an option for this in settings. Is there ANY way I can do this? This is for an archiving purpose and I have 10,000 plus files to convert. Please help.

This is a question i'm trying to answer too. My issue is that I have a PDF file which itself contains links to both DOC and PDF files. The end result is that I need one consolidated PDF containing all the linked files (in order).
I can run the "create from web page" on this PDF file, and it'll download them, but not convert them. It just adds them as "jumbled" text to the end of the document. I need it to download, convert, and then append them.
So, as isunshine3 asked above, any way to have Adobe convert the files that it finds linked when running the "create from web page"?
THanks

Safari is not showing some images from web properly

Hi. Since last week some pictures from web are not showing properly on safari & mail apps.
Whenever I go to websites with relatively many images, some of the images are only showing top halves and the bottom halves are solid black.
This has never happened before.
As it was so annoying, I've tried deleting safari history, cookies, and web data, and I also tried network reset.
None of them worked.
What's weird is that this issue doesn't happen when I'm using wifi, but happens when I use LTE.
My signal dots are full 5, and LTE is still faster than my wifi.
what can I try next?

You can fix the issue temporarily by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Note that this will log out of any website you were logged in to, and will clear your browsing history (if you use suggested websites from your history when going to new pages), but it will reset the cache containing the incorrect images.
Another way to fix this issue temporarily is to use Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and swipe to delete only those domains that have incorrect images. This does the equivalent of clearing website data, but only for the specific site removed. Note that images are frequently served from different domains than the host site, so you must clear the domains where the images are stored. Also, this page doesn't have a way to filter the list, so you must look through it manually, which is why I don't suggest it as the first option.
BTW, the majority of posts reporting this issue appear to be AT&T customers.

How to show details from web part as pop up window

Hello
I designed few web pages in SharePoint Designer 2010 and trying to customize it. I have a XSLTListView web part that is displaying filtered data from the external SQL database. When user choses the item from this list, I need it to show in the new pop
up window. I can't seem to find the way to do it. Saw multiple references to use SP.UI.ModalDialog.ShowPopupDialog(url), but I don't know how and where to incorporate it, since there is no place in the page where it actually specifies that url
of the page that I need to show as pop up.
Below there is a code for the XsltListWebPart, where I'm hoping I could make changes to make it pop up (it seems that this is the part that is calling the display details form). The form that I'd like to pop up is DispForm.aspx
<script>
function showpreview<xsl:value-of select="$ViewCounter" />(o) {
count = 1;
for(i = 0; i < o.childNodes.length; i++)
var child = o.childNodes[i];
if (child.style.display == "none" && child.tagName == "DIV")
f = document.getElementById("n" + count + "<xsl:value-of select="$WPQ" />");

Hi Alla,
You can show details from web part as pop up window using JavaScript with SP.UI.ModalDialog.ShowPopupDialog(url). Here is a demo you can refer to:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var obj1=$("a[id='forum0-NewPostLink']");
url="http://sp13"+obj1.attr("href");
//alert(url);
obj1.removeAttr("href");
obj1.click(function(){
openDialogBox(url);
function openDialogBox(url) {
var pageUrl=url;
var title="New Discussion";
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(
url: pageUrl,
autoSize: true,
title: title,
dialogReturnValueCallback: function (result){
if(result== SP.UI.DialogResult.OK){
//refresh parent window
window.location.href=window.location.href;
</script>

Calling Batch input from Web Dynpro - any alternatives for table updates?

Hi!
I am asked to create a screen in Web Dynpro for the GJ30 transaction (JV Cutback mapping of WBS' elements). I created a remote enabled function module which call batch input for GJ30 . Testing the Function modules direclty goes fine, but not calling the function module from WD. then I get the same error message as when I once tried to call SAP GUI from Web Dynpro ( Call transaction /submit program).
My next step is to try to create a batch input session (instead of call transaction) and run it using rsbdcsub, and then check the result of the run. But maybe this will fail of the same reason as well, and I suppose this will make the user waiting longer for the response .
I read somewhere that Web Dynpro does not support batch Input. But what can you do when there are no standard BAPI's for the update you want to do in SAP ? We are not supposed to do direct table updates.
Anyone who have struggled with the same issues and found a solution??
regards, Tine

Hi,
as BDC is calling screens and in Webdynpro ABAP you cannot use SAP GUI sceeen, you are getting short dump.
Refer CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR in webservices from r/3 system
Thanks,
Chandra

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat X - Page Order

I have a structured web site that is in fact Program Help The web pages are structured as follows:
index.html - Main Topic Index page with links to all topic subject index pages
topic/index.html - Topic Subject Index Page with links to all subject pages
topic/subject.html - Subject page
.....etc
Using Acrobat 5 "Create PDF from Web Page" created a perfect logical PDF page structure in the page order of of the web site. In Acrobat 5 page 1 was the Main Topic Index Page, page 2 was the 1st Topic Subject Index Page, page 3 was the 1st Subject Page, then the 2nd subject of the 1st Topic, etc. until the Topic Subjects were exhausted after which the 2nd Topic Subject Index Page and so it went on. As a result the bookmark structure was sensible. The page order was as follows:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Topic N Contents
Subject 1 of Topic N
Subject 2 of Topic N
Acrobat X (just purchased) produces a differently structured PDF from the same HTML pages. The order is:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Topic 2 Contents
Topic N Contents
Main Topic Contents (a second time)
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Subject N of Topic 1
Subject 1 of Topic 2
Subject 2 of Topic 2
Subject N of Topic N
Question: Is there any way I can get back with Acrobat X the same page order I got with Acrobat 5?
Any help appreciated. The website is www.caliach.com/caliach/vision/help/index.html

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
Be well...

How to filter the Files from SharePoint Document Library based upon cloumn value

Hi
I should filter the files from document library. I have column called "Print Status" for the document library the value would be either "Yes" or "No".
Now i should filter out the files which has "Print Status" as a "Yes".
I am using SPFolder and SPFile from SharePoint Object Model to traverse the file in doc library.
How could i do it?
My Sample code:
foreach (SPFolder childFolder in folder.SubFolders)
if (childFolder.Name != "Forms")
    AspControls.TreeNode trn = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(childFolder.Name, "", "~/_layouts/images/itdl.gif", childFolder.ServerRelativeUrl.ToString(), "");
    newNode = TraverseFiles(childFolder, trn);
                            // add the new node to the tree
                            rootNode.ChildNodes.Add(newNode);
                    // loop through the files
                    foreach (SPFile childFile in folder.Files)
                        // create a new node and add to the tree
                        AspControls.TreeNode childNode = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(childFile.Name + " (" + childFile.TimeLastModified.ToShortDateString()
+ ")", Convert.ToString(childFile.Item["ID"]), "~/_layouts/images/" + childFile.IconUrl, childFile.ServerRelativeUrl.ToString(), "");
                        rootNode.ChildNodes.Add(childNode);
Thanks
Poomani Sankaran.

Why do you transvers the file an not use a camp query? In a CAML query you can filter the print status and are able to get all files and folder objects at once.
Check out the following post: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/8c45b5e2-1fb8-435c-a97d-1d8c6d288d4c/caml-query-to-query-all-the-files-and-folders-in-document-library?forum=sharepointdevelopmentprevious

"Create PDF from Web Page" Yields Authorization Failure

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended running on Windows XP Service Pack 3:
When using "Create PDF from Web Page," certain linked pages result in an "Authorization Failure" error message. Is there any way to instruct Acrobat to disregard pages that are not downloadable and continue creating the PDF?

I am having the same issue AND none of my pages or files require a UserID or Password. My issue appears to be something with the domain because a and b work just fine and produce a PDF file while item c does not work and produces the error msg.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.
http://www.dot.state.wi.us/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.
http://www.wisconsindot.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm produces an error msg. ‘Nothing done’.Error info. - Authorization Failure http://www.wisconsindot.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm

BEx WAD - How to pass filter values to another Web template

Hi,
I have a scenario here...
Web Template 1:
- Filter options, Filter on Characteristics
- Button, this button calls Template 2 sending the parameters selected vía URL to filter the report.
Web Template 2:
- Tables and graphs
Values selected in the Filter of Template 1 and using javascript it should generates a URL, which filters the second template i.e. Web Template 2.
Can anyone please share javascript to achieve this...
-Anil

Hi Anil,
I tried this and could not get it to work. so if you find away through Java script then I would be very interested.
There is an option called TRANSFER_STATE which supposedly lets you pass variable names in this scenario but I could not get it to work.
In the end I created one template with all graphs etc. When you click the button to show the other template all tables and graphs in template 2 are shown and everything from web template 1 is hidden. This worked fine.
Cheers,
Nick.
