Frame Driver Component

#2- FRAME DRIVER COMPONENT?
Used to build two frame HTML pages containign user selection in the "driving
frame" and data and user interaction in the main companion or "target" frame.
Define a frame driver name
Define data to poplulate frames
Set initial target frame content
set options and details.
Where is this further discussed and documented at?
Where is this found at?
Has anyone else used FRAMESETS and this FRAME DRIVER thing?
We need to use framesets in our site and want to have a top and main frame.
Please add any ideas you might have regarding implementing portal with using framesets? I understand you cant create content or pages that contain "framesets" however, can't you start from the index.html and put the end-user into a "frameset" before they enter the portal?

Hi,
You can see the example of frame driver in the example application. In the example the query has a bind variable on which you can bring up a LOV in the top frame and choosing from that LOV will pass on the value to the form in the bottom frame.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

  • Using session storage between Report and Frame Driver

    I have an existing report that has a link calling a frame driver with multiple forms. I would like to make the Initial Target Frame Content dynamic based on information contained in the targeted record of the report. I am able to make this work (in basic concept) on the frame driver side, but have not been able to pass session variables from the report side. I can, of course, pass bind variables via a link from the report. Does anyone know of a way to access the parameter bind varaiables in the frame driver component using session storage or something else in order to make these variables available to the PL/Sql of the Initial Target Frame?

    Seems that session is changed during logon or even if
    web page (where the servlet is located) is refreshed!In Portal 10g (and maybe even in 9.0.2.6) the Web provider session is not lost any more when the user logs in to Portal.
    PL/SQL doesn't lost the session storage data during
    logon. But is it possible to find Java session storage
    from PL/SQL session storage?No, you cannot share the session between database and Web providers. You need to find other ways to share information between portlets belonging to different providers. You can use parameter passing, or a persistent store, such as the database.
    Java session storage doesn't use domain name or
    subdomain which are mandatory for PL/SQL session
    storage.The domain, sub-domain strings are irrelevant, as long as you can uniquely identify your session variable. For example, if you want to make sure that you have a separate session variable for every portlet instance, you should include the preference path in your domain or sub-domain. In case you want to share the session store between your portlets, don't include the unique portlet ID.

  • How can I put more than One ComboBox in the Driving Frame of a Frame Driver

    Hi,
    I am working with a Frame Driver and I want that in the Driving Frame put more than one ComboBox to filter the report, for example, I want to put one combobox for City, another for Year, and another for Month, and when the user select the City, Year and Month and do click in Submit button, then in the Target Frame appears the information for those filters.
    Does anybody know how to do that?
    Thanks a lot.
    Bye,

    Hi,
    It is not possible to have more than one combo in the source frame. This is because frame drivers can take only
    two columns in the sql query, one is the display value and the other the return value.
    Thanks,
    Sharmila

  • Problem - Frame Driver Template

    I have been trying to develop Portal Forms and embedding the forms in a frame driver using Oracle Portal 3.0. I specified a particular User Interface Template but never get to see this chosen template when running. Instead the form always uses the template FINANCE_TEMPLATE1.
    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and may be how I can work around this problem.

  • Passing value from Frame Driver to Form

    Hi,
    I have a frame driver which shows some (project Names) when submitted calls a form in the target area. I'am joining 2-3 tables and i cannot pass the Rowid but i'am passing another field value. My problem is when i select a Project Name and hit the submit button , unless i hit the query button it does the value on the form . It works good when i pass the rowid (some other form). Does anyone know how to make this work?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    Here is an example which calls the employee form. After clicking on the submit in the driving frame after selecting the employee, the employee form shows up with that particular employee's details.
    sample....

  • Error in Frame Driver SQL

    the sql for the frame driver errors displaying the whole SQL and the following error messages
    *(WWV-09700)*

    LINK LOV ERROR:

    I have a bind variable and I dont want any LOV linked to it. I tried to give a default value and still get the same error. The sql works fine in toad and give the results.It is a union of two sqls.
    The sql returns two columns and sample result from toad is

    2nd colum: portal_cust.maintain_user_dynamic_pg.show?p_arg_names=p_user_name&p_arg_values=AABBCC55
    I am using database link in the sql.
    Any idea on why is this happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am getting the same error even when I use a simple sql in the frame driver like

  • Home page link in Frame Driver

    People,
    i have a piece of code in my frame driver which navigates through pages and has a 'Home Page' link.
    select 'Brand : Delivery Fulfilment Analysis' brand,
    'http://rs2020-1-3:7778/servlet/page?_pageid=159&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30' url
    from dual
    union
    select 'Brand : Intake Margin Analysis' brand,
    'http://rs2020-1-3:7778/servlet/page?_pageid=161&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30' url
    from dual
    union
    select chr(13),' ' from dual union select 'Brand : Top Level Report' brand,
    'http://rs2020-1-3:7778/servlet/page?_pageid=143&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30' url
    from dual
    union
    select 'Exit' brand, 'http://rs2020-1-3:7778/servlet/discoservlet?_act=Exit' url

    union
    select 'Home' brand, 'http://rs2020-1-3:7778/servlet/page?_pageid=101,109&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30' url
    from dual
    This code basically gives the users a number of hyper links to click on and navigate through different pages.
    When the 'Home Page' link is selected, the frame driver displays the home page in the target window, instead of the entire HTML page.
    How can i get the Home Page link to display the page as full screen??
    Thanks, Matt.
    null

    Thanks Michael,
    I also found another way of doing this through a dynamic page with JavaScript.
    You can specify the Frame driving URL link to point to a dynamic page which has the following code...
    <-HTML>
    <-HEAD>
    <-TITLE>Portal Home</TITLE>
    <-/HEAD>
    <-BODY>
    <-SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    window.parent.location.href = "http://rs2020-1-3:7778/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.home";
    <-/script>
    <-/BODY>
    <-/HTML>
    This closes off the frame and ensure the "home" page is displayed in full.
    Thanks for your help.... Matt.

  • Frame driver SQL syntax

    Below is the syntax out of the Frame Drivers example text area for the SQL Query for the Frame Driver. Can anybody break down the SQL statement and map the fields to something that makes sense??? I understand up to the point that says select ename, but after that I am lost about what the rest of this statement is doing. The word url looks like it is just whipped in ther and there is one double = sign in there. It looks like there are some values but then some look like they are not there at all. etc. I would like to see something like this.
    select ename,'PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1060253649&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=_empno_cond&p_arg_values==&p_arg_names=show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=EMPNO&p_arg_values='||empno url from PORTAL30_DEMO.EMP where DEPTNO=:department

    Hi
    select ename,'MYBUGS.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1060253649&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=_empno_cond&p_arg_values==&p_arg_names=show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=EMPNO&p_arg_values='||empno url from MYBUGS_DEMO.EMP where DEPTNO=:department
    This query returns the employee name and an url which points to a form for each employee.
    This is the break up which explains the URL
    'MYBUGS.wwa_app_module.link' - link to form which takes parameters as p_arg_names and p_arg_values.
    '?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1060253649' - The argument name is is _moduleid and value is 1060253649
    '&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values= ' - The arg name is _sessionid and no value
    '&p_arg_names=_empno_cond&p_arg_values==' - The arg name is empnocond and value is '='
    '&p_arg_names=show_header&p_arg_values=YES' - The arg name is show_header and value is 'YES'
    '&p_arg_names=EMPNO&p_arg_values='||empno - The arg name is EMPNO and value is empno from the table.
    Hope this helps.

  • [Question] accessing frames Tree component CollapseAll property?

    i have frames on my Jspx pages .
    1: header (Top)
    2: Tree at the Left side (Left)
    3: Page to show (Right)
    4 Footer (Bottom)
    In the header frame i have button/ image/ or any other component to Go to home page ( pressing on 'Home' button it should Collapse the Tree).
    My Tree is in left frame and i need to call its callapse all function to collapse the tree on pressing HOME button which is at the top frame. kindly help me as to how i can do that.
    My tree tag looks like this
    <af:tree id="ProductCatalogueTree" value="#{bindings.ProductCatalogueTree.treeModel}" var="node"
    binding="#{ProductCatalogueTree.tree}" styleClass="bgs"
    focusRowKey="#{ProductCatalogueTree.focusRowKey}" varStatus="nodeStatus">

    Hi,
    all you can do from one frame to another is to refresh its content by re-loading the page displayed in it. There is no shared context that allows you to programmatically access the displayed page content. So in your case you would need to refresh the content of the tree page and pass a request parameter about the state. This parameter then should be evaluated by the tree initialization (e.g. a managed bean reference or a pagedef reference)

  • Can`t install idt / no sound / missing driver component (THE USUAL **bleep**IN IDT PROBLEMS)

    Hey, 
    first of all i want to excuse my vulgar language (aswell as my orthography), but honestly? 
    since around one week i got serious problems with my sound drivers, i have tried many things to resolve these issues already and am now close to despair browsing these forums thinking whether or not i should just throw this laptop out and never go back to hp.
    how it all started:
    So i will try to start over. Since last week my audio fails and i encountered various problems while reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling the BIOS, reseting my laptop to factory settings and practically trying everything.
    It all started with me being unable to adjust the volume and beats audio not responding. i shortly before tried updating to windows 8.1 though i doubt this update had anything to do with the issues (after rerolling to factory settings later that week the problem reaccured). the sound just vanquishes shortly after a restart. restart problems began to appear 
    Symptoms:
    -generall:
    Failing Sound
         - Windows displays sound in the sound regulating system but there just isn`t anything to hear
    Failing reboots (yes and this one is freaking me out, my laptop sometimes goes into blackscreens when trying to restart. if shutting down and booting this problem is unexistant. but yet i am very rarely able to restart the computer with the corresponding function. sometimes it works without problems though. )
    -IDT:
    since a day i get the massage that the detected hardware isn`t supported by the software package. i never got this massage before during tons of idt installations. since estimatedly the same point in time beats audio is unexistant and i run on windows default audio drivers.
    -Default drivers:
    sound very quiet and aswell vanquishing completly after some time
    what i tried up to now:
    i tried downloading drivers directly from here and i tried repairing them with the HP recovery manager, i tried reinstalling pretty much every driver, in my IT-incompetence just making sure there isn`t some problem with how other drivers cooperate with the idt audio codec. espacially the fingerprint driver was giving me headaches since this totally irrelevant **bleep** wasn't working since quite some time and somewhere on the net i saw a support thread about faulty validity drivers being the cause for other problems. i also, as suggested, tried random power resets inbetween the hundret restarts i have run, to no success. i rerolled to factory settings and still the sound would be no more, shortly after rebooting.  sometimes deleting random (not realy that random, more like it have been many and i can't say wich shutdown was successfull anymore)  prozesses helped, and i suddenly had cound again, sometimes deleting some programs like the fingerprintscanner driver or others, helped and restored the sound for a longer period, but in the end, it faded once more. 
    a short brakethrough was the chipset driver reinstallation, providing me with sound for estimatedly 2 hours.
    but right now, i don`t know what to do anymore since i have no idt driver whatsoever on my pc at the moment and i can`t instal one. also i am to ennoyed to perform another reroll.
    to the support administration (If something like that is existant):
    SERIOUSLY i found TONS of people describing nearly the same problems and i was always enlightened by the helpfull Hp employees redirecting every last one of them to a driver link that neither changed anything.
    Please don`t misunderstand me, i know you guys might want to help, and this defenitly isn't ment to criticise any one who tries to help in these forums. But not even one of the corrresponding threads recieved a solution? PLS HP JUST TRY to **bleep**ing answer what the hell is goes on with your Audio devices. 
    i will post this as it is right now since i have no time to recheck if everything is said. maybe later. gotta go. hope someone can help.
    cheers.

    Okay while i still got no answer in this forum my problem becomes harder and harder to track down for me.
    i just installed a BIOS update (it was recomended by the hp assistant) wich ran smoothly untill i first got a litle concerned when seing a -maybe just misleading- text panel. It was just after the BIOS update was completed, and i have been informed not to turn of my computer during some minutes in wich the screen may stay blank and various LD lights might blink. It initiated, just like i thought it would. The screen went 2 times from enlightened black to black while keyboard LEDs flashed. So far so good.
    But than this blue panel shows up saying "Flashing Boot Block", nothing flashes for a while in wich a progression is shown in percentages underneath this very panel.
    Now to get back to the Topic: WHY is my Soundcard or Driver again DEINSTALLED after this BIOS update??????
    I had it before! it still stopped working -the sound stopped- some times but it was there!! and it might well work the next time i open my laptop to watch a video listen to music or play a game! So why is it gone after this BIOS update? i will ofcourse check if i may now install the drivers for my Product but i am not confident that it will succeed.. lets hope so... 
    I just try to understand what is going on and therefor a short explaining answer to some of the questions i hinted to within my posts would be very appreciated. 
    Best regards, a believing support forum user..

  • Frame, Panel, Componant Formatting.

    My goal is to have a Frame that when it resizes the left and Right Panel take up 50% each and the Left panel should show a image that takes up the whole panel this is my Code:

         public void addPanels()
             frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
             myLeftPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(frame.getWidth()/2, frame.getHeight()));
             frame.getContentPane().add(myLeftPanel);
             frame.getContentPane().add(myRightPanel);

              try {

                   catch (MalformedURLException mue) {       }
                  catch (IOException ioe) {          }

                                  getHeight(),
                                  this);
    }And the Right Panel just has a Button that does appear.
    So what I end up with is that I get a frame with the left side empty and the Right side with the button. If i replace the "REFERANCE POINT" above with values such as new Dimension(200,200) the image will appear on the left side but It is not drawn in the (0,0) part of the Panel like it is soppose to.
    So I can't get the Image to take the intire Panel up and When I give it a Dimension it dosent draw it at (0,0) anyone know whats going on?
    Frame>2Panels (Left Panel is given Dimension (Frame/2, Frame))>Image is given(Dimension (Panel, Panel))
    I dunno why it isn't woking.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalle to latest nvidia drivers (9.18.13.593 / 8-18-2012) But still get this error about every 3 days.  Also, the laptop cant see or use either of my two Dell IPS displayport monitors since updating the video drivers to the current supported Lenovo ones, nor the latest ones above direct from nvidia.  The only way I can use an external monitor is to put the laptop to sleep, wake it up, and keep doing this till suddenly it sees the two monitors.  I never had this prolem before upgrading drivers and bios. 
    I am close to giving up with this notebook, and binning it.

    Hi eos
    Is your machine overheating? Or has it overheated for a long duration before? I ever have this issue on my previous W510 and a change of system board resolve this issue for my case.
    Have a nice day!

  • Dropped frames on Xserve RAID upgraded w/750GB drives.

    I'm capturing in 10-bit uncompressed standard definition 720x480. I just upgraded one side of my Apple XRAID, (connected directly via fibre channel) with seven, 750GB hard drives from Apple, drives designed for the XRAID, (came with there own sleds.)
    Current Xserve RAID firmware version is at version 1.5.1/1.51c
    Before the upgraded drives, no issues with dropped frames, (drives 1-7) the other side of the same RAID has no problems, (currently running 250GB drives, drives 8-14.) All sleds are populated with drives of the same capacity, (respective to each side.)
    The drives were formated using the Xserve RAID Admin software and mounted using Apples Disk Utilities, Journaling turned off. The final formated capacity of the RAID on drives 1-7 is 4.1TB.
    When I capture to the drives on the upgrade side, I get dropped frames. When capturing to the other side, no issues, works great. I checked the settings for performance and they are the same for both sides, as follows:
    Use Controller Write Cashe - ON
    Allow Host Cashe Flushing - OFF
    Use Drive Write Cashe - ON
    Use Steady Streaming Mode - OFF
    Read Prefetch: 128 stripes (8 MB/disk)
    My capture box is an AJA I/o and has never given me dropped frames till now, but only on the side of the RAID that has the new 750GB drives. I also have another RAID that uses 500GB drives on both sides and it work just fine as well, (no dropped frames) using the same performance settings in XRAID utilities.
    Any suggestion on why these new Apple drives modules are dropping frame would be very much appreciate. Again 7 new 750GB drives from Apple w/sleds having dropped frame issues.

    I'm capturing in 10-bit to avoid loss of quality from analog sources like BetaCam SP as well as line 21 must be part of the captured file, because it contains line 21 for captioning. Eight bit has a banding issue that I can't have in the final product and 10-bit doesn't have this issue.
    Source quality is maintained completely when working in 10-bit uncompressed, as well as the captioning data that I need, which is stripped out of the captured video latter. Captioning software can read line 21 of the raster area, of the captured file.
    Source video is from BetaCam SP, DVC Pro and DVCam.
    The RAID is an Apple Xserve RAID, connected via Fibre channel directly, (no xsan.)
    I also create high quality QuickTime Streaming files from these source files, the higher the quality of the source video the the better the streaming files look when created.
    I have never had any problem capturing till I installed these new drives from Apple.
    The RAID is as stated above, is an Apple Xserve RAID, connect via a fibre channel card in a Mac Pro 3.0GHz tower, (no xsan is used, due to connecting directly to the XRAID.)

  • Fusion drive upgrade question (7200rpm?+SSD swap)

    If I choose the fusion drive upgrade while purchasing a mac mini, will the non SSD drive be upgraded to a 7200rpm drive as well?
    Also, I would love to replace the SSD of the fusion drive with a 3rd party 256 SSD that I already own, if that's even possible.
    Or should I just stick w/the stock TB drive and install my 256SSD with a data doubler kit from OWC or something like that to save me some $$$?

    "If I choose the fusion drive upgrade while purchasing a mac mini, will the non SSD drive be upgraded to a 7200rpm drive as well?"
    No. The hard drive component of the Fusion Drive spins at 5400rpm.
    "Also, I would love to replace the SSD of the fusion drive with a 3rd party 256 SSD that I already own, if that's even possible."
    It's possible. No point in upgrading to the Fusion Drive if you're going to do that, though. Read here:
