Help needed with Custom Web ADI Integrator for Mail Merge

Hello,
I've created a custom web adi integrator to generate letters to advise of end of probationary periods.
The problem is that at the end of the process when the letter is opened in Word 2007, it only displays one record, and does not allow me to "preview results" and cycle through the records (this part is greyed out). It appears that the letter is not merged with the data spreadsheet although it does display one record from it.
Our EBS version is 12.1.3 and we are using Office 2007.
These are the steps I have followed so far (in brief):
- Create a view to provide data (names, addresses etc).
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
- Create Download Excel Integrator by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Integrator Setup. Enter "PER" for application and my view for the View Name. Upload.
- Create another Excel document by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Maintain Form Function Associations, and choose the integrator created above. Enter my custom function name in the generated spreadsheet and upload.
- Define a layout for the new integrator.
- Run the integrator under the end user responsibility and save the resulting spreadsheet, which is full of data as expected.
- Create the letter in Word, using the saved spreadsheet as the data source for the merge. At this point the merge is successful.
- Go to Desktop Integration -> Document Management and upload the Word mail merge document. Associate it with the custom document type created earlier.
- Link this document to my integrator.
- Go in as end user responsibility and run the integrator.
At this point after enabling macros it loads 2 spreadsheets (one full of data) and the Word document, but the Word document only displays one record (approx the 10th in the list - there are about 100 in total). All of the relevant merge-related menu items on the "Mailings" tab are greyed out.
Can anyone offer any pointers please?
I did wonder whether it mattered if I changed the names of documents, e.g when I download and save the resulting spreadsheet full of data which I then use to merge to in the Word Doc, is it OK to call the spreadsheet anything or should it be left as the default name?
Many thanks,
Hazel

Hi Nandhakumar.P,
thanks for your response. Please find the answers below:
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
System Administrator -> Application -> Function. Query back the seeded User Function Name = "HR Integrator Setup", make a note of the details, then add a custom function entitled "NTC_HR_LETTERS" with the same details.
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back User Menu Name = "Desktop Integration Menu" and add the following functions:
WITHOUT PROMPT
a. HR Integrator Setup
b. HR Maintain Integrator Form Functions
c. HR Disable Integrator
d. HR ADI Document Overwrite Page
e. HR ADI Document Upload Page
f. The custom function created in previous step ("NTC_HR_LETTERS")
WITH PROMPT
g. HR ADI Document Management Page
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back menu attached to custom responsibility of end user that will perform the action once set up.
Add the following:
a. The custom function "NTC_HR_LETTERS" as created previously (without prompt)
b. Desktop Integration - Create Document (With Prompt. This function will be used to generate letters)
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
SA_Application Developer -> Application -> Lookups -> Common. Query back Type = HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE and add a new entry entitled "Other". This document type is later assigned to the Word document I upload and link to the integrator.
I hopoe that answers your questions.
Regards,
Hazel

Custom web adi integrator

I am developing a custom web adi integrator for uploading Bill of materials details from excel to oracle apps. I have created a custom integrator. I am able to see it while defining layout. I have defined layout,too. But after that when i am going to create a document, I am unable to see it in the select integrator drop-down list. Can anyone help me in this?
Can anyone send me a document for creating custom integrator?

You haven't included what version of Web ADI. But I'm going to guess that from your problem you are on Release 12.
Web ADI included additional security options in the later versions of 11.5.10 and Release 12. You have run into one of these. All Integrators are now required to be secured by a form function. When the Create Document Page Flow runs in Release 12. All integrators are cross-checked against the assigned form functions in the current menu assigned to the responsibility. Only the integrators that have a match are shown in the list (11.5.10 the full list was shown, the check was then performed when attempting to navigate to the next page).
BEGIN
BNE_SECURITY_UTILS_PKG.ADD_OBJECT_RULES
(Product Application Id,
'Integrator Code',
'INTEGRATOR',
'Security Code',
'FUNCTION',
'List of Form Function Code Names',
User Id
END;
COMMIT
Subsituting
Product Application Id - The Custom Application ID you are using for your dev,
Integrator Code - Integrator Code for the integrator you are securing
Security Code - for your use, just use the same value as Integrator Code
List of Form Function Code Names - 'BNE_ADI_CREATE_DOCUMENT,BNE_CREATE_DOCUMENT'
User Id - the Applications User Id you are using for development.
You will need to bounce Apache or use Bne Admin Servlet to clear the Web ADI caches before this will be uptaken.
Also - The Define Layout and Define Mapping flows don't perform the same check if you have the System Adminstrator privilleges. Which would be why you can see your custom integrator in those flows.

WEB ADI INTEGRATOR FOR Bill of Material

I am developing a WEB ADI integrator for Bill of material upload. The integrator will populate the data in a temporary table, validate it & write the error messages back to the table . On succesful validation the data will be sent to interface tables & then to base table.
The integrator uses a procedure & sends data to the procedure. Procedure then loads data in temporary table & does the rest of work.
To do this i need to know the following thinngs:
1. How i can track the line no of Excel?
2. How do I know that all data are loaded in temporaray table because the validation & rest of work will be done once all the rows of excel are transfered to temporaray table. i.e. How do i determine the End of File in Excel?
3. How do i write error messages from the table to the excel in web adi?
Any help will be appreciated. Please send me the sample scripts & web adi developer guide at [email protected],[email protected]

If you check the XML that Web ADI generates to upload a document you will note that each row gets a row number. It would be a matter of being able to keep track of that number in your table so that when you are reporting the error back you can include that number in the message so the code in the Excel spreadsheet can assign it to the correct row.
I would suggest trying to use even some of the basic validation mechanisms provided within Web ADI, as these will automatically return the error messages for bad data to the correct row in the spreadsheet.
Web ADI will take the uploaded data, perform any validation check defined within meta-data then push the data to your Interface table. There are plenty of examples in th shipped code of product teams then using the Import phase of the upload to perform additional checks and then push the data further. But if you can utilize the existing Web ADI functionality. The data never ends up in the table in the first place to require any clean up on your part.

Help needed in developing web map service for mobile devices

please can any one help me(with source code if possible) for developing the web map service client for mobile devices in J2ME.

There are a couple of ways you could do this. Bluetooth communication is available on a few J2ME devices, so you could do it through that. Or you could set up a servlet on the J2SE app end and send the data over the internet (check out HttpConnection). I'm not sure of any other quick and easy methods.

Help needed with Personal Web Sharing

I need a little help. My goal is to set up my Apache server to allow people on the Internet access web pages served from my Mac. But I can't seem to get it working.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. I have enabled Personal Web Sharing in System Preferences
2. I have talked with the technicians at my ISP, and they tell me that they are not blocking port 80
3. My router has DHCP enabled, but I have assigned my Mac a static IP address (192.168.1.xx) that is outside the range of DHCP addresses.
4. I am using a cable modem connected to a Linksys WRT54G router, and I have configured the WRT54G to forward port 80 to my Mac's IP address (192.168.1.xx).
5. I have determined my Internet IP address by using http://checkip.dyndns.org/
The result:
1. When I use Safari to access 192.168.1.xx from my Mac, I see my web pages perfectly. Life is good.
2. However, when I try to access my web pages from a browser on a WindowsXP computer on my local network, I just time out. I have tried both my LAN IP address (192.168.1.xx) and the Internet IP address I obtained from http://checkip.dyndns.org/
I have looked on the Apple support and discussion pages, but I haven't been able to find anything that will fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Charlie:
Thanks for the tip about the W3C HTML Markup Validation Service. Answers to your questions are in CAPS. And, thanks for any help you can provide.
===================
1. Can the Mac ping the Windows computer and vice versa? YES Are you sure the Mac is able to reach the Internet outside your LAN, can you browse the web from it? YES, I HAVE A WORKING, HIGH-SPEED CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET FROM MY MAC.
2. What happens if you use the WAN IP address in Safari on the Mac and try to load the web page? Does it still time out? YES. WHEN I PUT THE ADDRESS I RECEIVED FROM http://checkip.dyndns.org/ INTO THE URL FIELD IN SAFARI, IT TIMES OUT. WHEN I DO THE SAME THING USING USING THE LOCAL LAN IP ADDRESS OF MY MAC, IT WORKS PERFECTLY.
And a comment:
Even once you get the Windows computer to see the web site on the Mac via your LAN, it's possible you won't be able to use the WAN IP address to reach it. That's called "loopback", and some routers don't allow that. If that's the case, you can test your connection by using some other site to reach your site.
What I like to do in cases like this is to use the W3C HTML Markup Validation Service. Since it's completely outside your LAN, it acts like any regular browser to your site. If it can't reach your site, then no one can. But if it reaches your site and you still can't, then your router probably doesn't support loopback. Plus, it'll point out any mistakes in your HTML markup if you have any...

Help needed with customizing {tag_attributes}

I've tried searching for information on how best to customize {tag_attributes} but not finding much help so hoping someone can help on here.
I would like to know if it is possible and if so how to do the following.
1/ For a mandatory product attribute with a drop down list (or radio button) how do I automatically select the first option. I assume I use javascript to achieve this but I don't know how you select the correct elements. Has anyone some example code?
2/ When an option is selected (not mandatory) which has am additional price how do I recalculate and show the product total?
3/ Can the tag_attributes style be configured (I assume with css) can anyone provide a simple example I could follow?
Would appreciate anyone's help on this.
Thanks
Gavin

Okay I have made it work but I think the solution is not desirable and I hope there is another way.
It was only after I created product variations did configuring tab_attributes work. What isn't desirable is the need to maintain a stock level of something that's an option that has no stock levels associated with it.
It would be much simpler for default selection to work without the need for inventory and creating product variations.
Therefore is there another way? Or some way of specifying infinite stock levels?
Also despite the first parameter being false the options are listed horizontally.
Basically {tag_attributes} seems to be a right mess in it's implementation to me. It's certainly not simple to use!
Thanks
Gavin

Help needed with Flash web template

I am working on a flash website for our Boy Scout Troop. It is based on a template purchased on-line.
I am using Adobe Flash CS4.
Here is a preview link to the template that I am working with... http://www.easytemplates.com/templates/flash/boy-scout/
If you click on the "foundation" button, you will see a movie under the Eagle Honor Roll, named "read more". When you click on that movie, it opens a window in the upper left corner of the screen. I am having two issues with this, as well as several other similar movies that look the same, and perform the same function (opening differant text boxs).
I was able to easily go into the actionscript for each of them and change the name of the title that shows up on the top of the pop up window, but I can't for the life of me find where to edit the text. Every other pop-up window has a seperate movie file which I can edit, but this one does not. I have looked through all of the Symbols multiple times, and there is not one listed. The "read more" movie that is in the left hand box on the information page has a symbol that contains the text. the ones on the "Foundation" and "Our Program" pages do not. How do I change the text, if there is no symbol containing that text?
I also would like to be able to change the position of the pop-up window when it opens, but cannot find where to do that.
My other issue is editing the "Gallery" button at the top of the page, to point to a PHP Nuke site, that I am going to use for content management. I have found several tutorials on-line mentioning the use of the "on release get URL" command, but everytime I try to use it, it just breaks the animation on the button, and still does not open the URL in question. I have attached a .TXT file containing the current action associated with the button's "Blue box" (not sure what this is really called). I just need to know how to incorporate the "on release get URL" command without messing up the animatioon associated with the button.

start with the button that causes the text to be displayed. find what it does (which may not be easy because most templates are coded by novice or intermediate level coders) and follow that trail to the text. (note: the text may be in a txt or xml file that's loaded.)
to have a button release open a file, use:
yourbtn.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.adobe.com");

Help needed with VirsaCCRiskAnalysisService Web Service

Hi there,
Entity objects can be based on web services, have you tried this way. Then, you can create you VO on top of this entity having perhaps a more declarative approach. If you still want to follow the programmatic VO approach, overriding hasNextForCollection or getQueryHitCount could be my initial 2 methods to look for.

Help needed with table of contents construction for ebook

I am creating an ebook manuscript in Pages. I want to link the headings in the table of contents - instead of the page numbers - to the appropriate sections of my document. Is there any way to do that?
Also, how can I edit the table of contents? I don't mean change the style. I've already done that. I just want to add extra spacing and insert a page break. Every time I try to insert my cursor to make these changes, the headings become highlighted in blue. How can I avoid that?

Is your goal to have links on the chapter titles as an ease of use for the consumer of your ebook, or as a convenience to you that enables you to jump around the book with a single click?
The first part of the conjunction does not appear currently possible in Pages. The second part is possible.
Select a chapter title. Open the link inspector and choose the Bookmark tab. Add your chapter titles in order as bookmarks. No hyperlinks. Once done, you can use your mouse to select the bookmarked chapter title from the link inspector bookmark list that you want to instantly jump to in your Pages document. Simpler than using the TOC to do this.

Hi,
maybe this is the problem. The type is byte and not binary.
But I have the same problem as mentioned in the other thread: I can't change the type.
The type in the WSDL of my web service is "base64binary". Is there maybe a possibility to import a jar-file for this type?

Use FNDLOAD, it's the only way.
There are 2 seperate scripts, 1 for the Integrator and 1 for Layout.
FNDLOAD apps/<pw> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bneintegrator.lct <your name>.ldt BNE_INTEGRATORS INTEGRATOR_ASN="XXX" INTEGRATOR_CODE="<your code>"

Custom WEB ADI for Item Category Assignment

Hello,
We created following custom WEB ADI .
1.) Item Update ( No Security )
2.) Item category assignment ( WITH Security of Organization Access )
Created custom responsibility XX_INVENTORY with custom Menu (subset of INV_NAVIGATE)
Added responsibility/organizationsfor XX_INVENTORY using organization access form.
NOW
POINT 1: Both ADI works as expected when added as function to Standard Inventory responsibility with menu INV_NAVIGATE.
POINT 2: Item Update ( with No Security) Works fine from custom responsibility
POINT 3: Item category assignment (with organization security) fails with "invalid integration key" error from custom responsibility. But if the user has "System Administrator" responsibility to his account it works fine, which makes me think that it has to do something with custom responsibility.
Applicatio: R12.1.3
Excel 2010
BNE Allow No Security Rule to Yes at user level
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hussein,
Still the same even after bouncing application. But if application bouncing was issue then none of the custom ADI should have worked from custom application. But ONLY ONE of the two is not working. Item update ADI is working just fine but Item Category assignment is not.
Any more clues??
I tried by adding Create Document, adding Desktop Integration menu to custom responsibility menu, nothing works. As soon as I add "System Administrator" responsibility to User OR add the custom ADI function to standard inventory responsibility with INV_NAVIGATE menu, it works.
Please let me know if anybody has any clue on this issue.
Thanks
