Forbid to open new modus

Dear community,
I'm facing the following problem, while modifying a customer exit:
I want to disallow opening a new modus using the corresponding Gui function. I'm programming a 4-eyes verification I need for the business case and try to check the user credentials of the second user in a modular dynpro. I do not want anybody to skip this screen by opening a new modus.
Yes I know there are the profile parameters login/disable_multi_gui_login and login/multi_login_users but these do not solve the problem I'm facing.
Is there a command to disable the "open new modus" button in the current window or for the current user session? Is it possible to catch the event sent by the button? It should be the same behaviour like trying to open a new modus on the emtpy logon screen or passwort change screen. A popup appears with the text "SAP System message: Please log on". Maybe it is also possible to decrease the max. number of aloowd modi to one for the current session, setting a dynamic profile parameter ....
Ideas are welcome ....
Rgds
Christoph

Dear Christoph:
I guess this depends on SAP GUI. Not on Server side.
Try to put the same question in SAP GUI

Login to the SAP System and opening a new modus takes too long

Hello friends
I have a problem on my SAP ECC 6.0 system. When some users (but not all users) try to login (via SAPGUI) or open new modi this takes within 5 minutes to happen. I have allready excluded local hardware problems on the client PCs (You can logon on the same computer with another user without having that delay).
In Sapgui the Option "Extras - Settings - Do not display picture" is already set.
Could anyone give me a hint please in which direction I could search for the solution? This would be very helpful.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetings

How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

Hi,
I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
Restart Application
If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

G'day Shohei,
Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
For example, something along these lines should do it:
BEGIN
-- Your other process code goes here...
htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
htp.p('</script>');
END;
What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
HTH
Cheers,
Mike

I just updated to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I can't click on a bookmark to open it or open new tab when clicking new tab button.

In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!

After I posted this, I restarted with add ons disabled and it worked..deleted a cpl of addons for compatibility checking and that fixed it.

A new tab will not open except will when I use Foxfire help. Nothing works. My setting are to open new tabs but it doesn't work. Why?

Foxfire won't let me open a new tab. I have my setting set to open a new tab. I've clicked on it and nothing happens. I've right clicked and selected open new tab and nothing happens. When I go to Foxfire for help it will open a new tab for help. When I try to use this tab to browse, anything in the other window gets shut down.

1. In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
2. In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
3. In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
4. Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.
I found this solution and it worked!

When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history pa

When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history page etc. Happens on all options that should open new page. I am so frustrated, this has been happening since Firefox updated itself 2 days ago to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) was fine before that. using windows vista. Can you please advise what I should do? Also can you go back to previous version? Error console eg
Warning: Error in parsing value for 'cursor'. Declaration dropped.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

I am unable to open new tabs, in any way I attempt to do so. I have checked the settings and they are fine, so it's not those. The only way I can open a new tab is to right click on a link and instruct it to open in a new tab.

Any way I attempt to open new tabs, be it clicking on the new tab button or using the short-cut Ctrl-t, I am unable to open any new tabs on my browser window.
The only way I have found that I can open a new tab is to right-click on a link and instruct that link to open in a new window.

Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension.

When opening new tab, how to make me able to type in the adress bar directly without clicking on it? -- (about:config reset and add-on doesn't work)

Hi all,
Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.
I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work.
When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.
What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.
Thank you and appreciate the help!!
Note:
(1) about:config reset:
- Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
- To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
- In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
- In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
(2) Custom Add On reset:
- Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
- Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
- Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

''philipp [[#answer-669209|said]]''
<blockquote>
ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...
</blockquote>
Hi Philipp,
I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists.
One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?
Thanks.

How to open new webBrowser in java with BrowserLauncher.java

I m using BrowserLauncher.java which opens default webBrowser but i want to open new webBrowser for new request each time.
Plz suggest to me what changes i have to made in this java class.

* BrowserLauncher is a class that provides one static method, openURL, which opens the default
* web browser for the current user of the system to the given URL. It may support other
* protocols depending on the system -- mailto, ftp, etc. -- but that has not been rigorously
* tested and is not guaranteed to work.
* <p>
* Yes, this is platform-specific code, and yes, it may rely on classes on certain platforms

* that's frequently desirable but inherently platform-specific -- opening a default browser --
* and allow programmers (you, for example) to do so without worrying about dropping into native

* <p>
* Anyway, this code is completely in Java and will run on all JDK 1.1(or better)-compliant systems without
* modification or a need for additional libraries. All classes that are required on certain
* platforms to allow this to run are dynamically loaded at runtime via reflection and, if not
* found, will not cause this to do anything other than returning an error when opening the
* browser.
* <p>
* There are certain system requirements for this class, as it's running through Runtime.exec(),
* which is Java's way of making a native system call. Currently, this requires that a Macintosh
* have a Finder which supports the GURL event, which is true for Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1 systems that
* have the Internet Scripting AppleScript dictionary installed in the Scripting Additions folder
* in the Extensions folder (which is installed by default as far as I know under Mac OS 8.0 and
* 8.1), and for all Mac OS 8.5 and later systems. On Windows, it only runs under Win32 systems
* (Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0, as well as later versions of all). On other systems, this drops
* back from the inherently platform-sensitive concept of a default browser and simply attempts
* to launch Netscape via a shell command.

Open new tab from any webpage, click any link on new tab, waits till the page is loaded and try to go back one page on new tab (arrow is disabled).

It happens whenever I open new tab from any wabpage. Once the tab is opened and initial webpage is loaded I may use any link to jump on another, second webpage in same tab. However, if I want to go back on initial webpage I can't do it cause that option (arrow) is disabled. I could use link on second webpage to jump on third, and only at that moment go back option becomes available again. However, I could not ever go back on initial webpage any more. As initial webpage has never existed.
It happens quite often (95%).

Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to from the list.
If the list is too long to display via the Back button, hit CTRL+H, change the view to "Last Visited" and then load it from there instead.

What is the correct way to open new window with launchDialog & returnDialog

Hi,
JDev : 11.1.1.1.2.0
My current page url is http://127.0.0.1:7101/ThruputApplication/faces/Test.jspx?_afrLoop=21785535204821&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=d1x4f8z6p_9 and
From this page, I trying to open new browser window using command button's action method with below code
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ViewHandler viewHandler =
facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler();
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
UIViewRoot dialog =
viewHandler.createView(facesContext, strBuilder.append("/reports/LPLReport.jsp?").append(sURL).toString());
Map properties = new HashMap();
properties.put("width", Integer.valueOf(500));
properties.put("height", Integer.valueOf(300));
AdfFacesContext afConetxt = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
afConetxt.launchDialog(dialog, properties, null, true, null);
New browser window is getting open successfully but after opeing this new window if I do any operation such like selecting item from selectOneChoice or checkbox selection from the screen from which I have launce new browser window then is giving me below message.
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page ?
There are one or more dependent dialogs open. Navigation from this page will invalidate any open dialogs.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.
I have also tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, null); to return dialog but its giving me below error:
<DialogServiceImpl><returnFromDialog> No 'DialogUsedRK' key available for returnFromDialog to do the right thing!
<Reports><generateReports> Exception

Please give me the solution so that I can stay on the screen and can continue with that screen after opening new browser window.
Currently after opening new window as mentioned above, I can't do anything. If I press ok button then it will give me login page and if I press cancel button then my screen component's state become invalid.
Regards,
devang

Thanks Frank,
We have resolved the issue. Cookies max age was set as current browser seeion in websphere.
After changing it as some max seconds, it is working fine.

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page..

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

Most of the time when i click my magic mouse on an item it gives me options like back, open new page, etc.

When I try to use my magic mouse, most of the time it won't open an item but instead will give me options like: back, open new page, open link in new window, and I am actually on top of for instance, the comment field in facebook...It takes several attempts of clicking off the entire page to get it to just open the link or respond appropriately...

the mouse performs a right click instead of a left click. Check your mouse preferences in the system settings.

Open New Tab Question

Recently when I click the Open New Tab button the page has some of my Bookmarked sites shown, nothing but a blank rectangle and the name of the link.
Not sure why this started happening or how to fix it
