How to change the column header/channel name in an LVM file?

Hi all,
I made a VI (see attached JPG) that reads 2 voltages, but after calculations and other processes, ends up writing 6 columns of data to an LVM file (7 if you count the time).
I have read in other posts that you can change the name of each signal so that the header of each column in the LVM files doesn't just say "untitled". However, as you see in my code, some signals are numeric (double) and one is a logic (1 or 0), so there is no way to edit the waveform properties of those signals (since they are not waveforms).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would suggest looking at this existing post:

I'll further mention that in the loop, for each channel you want to set the name of, the attribute name for the name of the channel is "NI_ChannelName". The example in the thread above takes advantage of the fact that "NI_ChannelName" happens to be the first one defined. I think it would be more robust to not bother reading the existing attributes, and instead just write the "NI_ChannelName" attribute with whatever new value you want.

Are you saying you are not able to create an object by value (select: statement) as sysdate and put it onto the headers of your report? You can use the add_months() function on the object to add the numbers of months you wish.

How to change the column heading as the column changes

dear memebrs,
Take an example fo the table EMP. I need to create a report whose parameters are the table column names. so depending on the parameter(which is the column name) the report o/p changes.
so i am dynamically selecting the table column names and getting the o/p. The problem is when the column changes the heading of it in the report o/p is not changing.
we have to use format trigger for this, but i am not sure what code should we write in the format trigger of the boiler plate text of the column heading , such that it changes in accordance with the input which is nothing but column name.
for ex: If i choose EMPNO as the parameter then my column heading should become Employee Number and so on.......
your comments are welcomed
regards
sandeep

you can use a formula column of datatype character and of any width needed instead of a boilerplate text for the heading name.
In the formula column you can write code like below
IF :P_COLUMN_NAME = EMPNO THEN
return('Employee Number');
ELSIF :P_COLUMN_NAME = SAL THEN
return('Salary');
END IF;
where P_COLUMN_NAME the name of the column selected dynamically(i.e. the parameter).

How to change the column header in XsltListView webpart

I have a XsltListView webpart. By default it displays the column name in the header. How do I change the header and give a friendly name? I am able to change the header, if I click on header and position the cursor at the right spot and change. But sometimes
it does not work. Is there any property which I can set in order to change the header? Thanks in advance.
ss

Hi ss,
Do you use SharePoint 2007 or 2010? And the XsltListView Web part only available in SharePoint 2010.
If you are using SharePoint 2010, to customize the header for each column, please try the following step.
Open list view in advanced mode in SharePoint Designer.
Select a header you need to modify > Click Customize XSLT under Design tab on the ribbon > Click “Customize Item”.
Then we can see <xsl:value-of select="$fieldtitle"/> has selected in Code view > Replace it with the text you want to display on the header.
For example, I want to display the string “customized header” in the header, then replace
<xsl:value-of select="$fieldtitle"/>
With
Customized header
Save the page and test.

Changing the Column Header and Hiding the Column dynamically???

Hi friends..
I'm new to OBIEE field. I'm working in a OBIEE project that requires to dynamically change the column header, and dynamically hide the column depending on the prompt value.
I know we can dynamically change the table header using the presentation variable but I couldn't do that same thing with column header.
I searched some forums that suggest to use java script for this purpose but I'm not able to do the same also. If anyone had same issue before please help.

toony, I'm not sure it's possible to do all that you want exactly the way you want, but here are some ideas you can pursue.
To dynamically change column headers without javascript, check this blog out...
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dynamic-column-headers-using-presentation-variables-sets-and-conditional-formatting/
As far as dynamically hiding a column, I don't think you can do this, but since you don't provide any details on how the PV is supposed to hide a column based on the value, are you talking about hiding a column for one PV value and another (different) column for a different PV value? Or are you talking about hiding one column when a PV has certain values and displaying it when the PV has a different set of values?
I have managed to create both scenarios via a work-around, but the procedures require some writing so I don't want to put both. Please detail how you want your PV to "hide" a column or columns.
P.S. I don't think column selectors will do the trick for you. Basically column selectors work like this: Say you have a report using Sales Region ID, Region Name, and Sales. Now let's say you want the user to choose if he/she wants to see annual sales, or quarter sales or weekly sales, etc. The column selector view would allow you to put the various columns (Year Sales, Quarter Sales, Weekly Sales) as an option the user can select. Once selected, the sales figure will change for the time period selected. For an example of how this is done, check out the section in this "Oracle by Example" link.
Waited too long to publish this... Madan beat me to it, so there is some overlap here...

How to change the column text of an ALV in WD?

Hiya,
I have an ALV and it displays this in the column headings:
I'd like to change 'Name 1' to 'Name' and 'Boolean' to 'Selection', but I can't seem to figure out how to do this in the maze of all the classes and methods...
Could someone give me a few pointers please.
Thanks in advance!

Hi ,
We can change the column heading through if_salv_wd_column_settings interface. Please check the following code for changing the same.
data: l_ref_cmp_usage type ref to if_wd_component_usage.
l_ref_cmp_usage =   wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
if l_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) is initial.
    l_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
endif.
data l_salv_wd_table type ref to iwci_salv_wd_table.
l_salv_wd_table = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
data l_table type ref to cl_salv_wd_config_table.
l_table = l_salv_wd_table->get_model( ).
data l_column type ref to cl_salv_wd_column.
l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'Name_1' ).
data l_header type ref to cl_salv_wd_column_header.
l_header = l_column->get_header( ).
l_header->set_prop_ddic_binding_field(
    property = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>bind_prop_text
    value = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>ddic_bind_none ).
l_header->set_text( `Name` ).
l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'Boolean' ).
data l_header type ref to cl_salv_wd_column_header.
l_header = l_column->get_header( ).

How to change the page header?

Hi,
I just installed and started using Plumtree 6.0 a month ago, and we are still in a trial phase for our company's portal.
I want to change the default page header to replace Plumtree logo to my company's logo. I thought I can change it in the style sheet, but I didn't find where to change in the cssmill folder. I found an artical in edocs.bea.com saying I can modify the header by using ALI Publisher, but I don't know what's the right way to do it and faster.
Can someone guide me how to change the page header?
Thank you. (if this is not the correct forum to post the question, please let me know which forum should I go)

Depends on what you want to do. Personally, I'd do a header portlet and not touch the Plumtree/BEA logos. They're likely to be overwritten when the product receives updates.
This may seem like a lot of steps, but really - it goes quickly
** Think through what you want to display. If all you want to do is replace the image, but you wan to keep the overall layout style then you can create a simple replacement header
Step 1 - create a header portlet
=======================
If you're using Publisher...
=====
* Create a new portlet - choose the Header portlet template
* Upload your image / change the header in the rich text editor
If you're not using Publisher
=====
* Personally, static HTML will do just fine - create a folder and html file called something like "mybanner/mybanner.htm" on your remote portlet server
* Plop in an image (you'll want to swipe some adaptive tags for community and page name - can always stick those in later)
* Create a new remote portlet web service that references this HTML page
* Create a portlet from the web service - make sure the type is "header"
Step 2 - turn it on
=======================
* Create a new experience definition (or modify default - I usually create a new one so you can move it between environments)
* In the experience definition's "header / footer" settings area, tell the header to load from the new header portlet you created
* If you created a custom experience definition, modify your experience rules to load this experience defiintion according to whatever parameters you think make sense (just be careful you don't knock out your login page - we usually use security groups to just say "hey - the user is logged in and is, in fact, a member of this portal - that'll still let your login pages load)
Done
May seem like a lot of work, but really it's just a series of simple steps. Advantage here is you can vary things as you see fit and also just feel safe that the next time Plumtree/BEA updates those imageserver files you'll be good to go. From there you can get as fancy schmancy as you like using adaptive tags, etc. Heck - make it a .NET app if you want and do some crazy personalization or something. Embed stock tickers, important news alerts, whatever.
That help at all?
Thanks,
Eric

Change the column header according to the filter value ?

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in which the customer wants to change the column header of the Sales Volume Key Figure to change according to the filter selected for the Calender Year / Month in the Free characteristics.
I could display the header as 'Sales Volume for OCT 2000' as this is the value restricted intially in the free characteristics for Calender Year / Month.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,

Ioan Thanks for the reply.
Probably my previous explanation of the problem was a little incomplete. Let me give a better description.
The situation is something like this.
I have a requirement in which the customer wants the column header to reflect the 'keep filter value' restriction that he does dynamically in the query report.
i.e:
-- usually the kf column header shows 'sales volume'
-- column header with text variable of the Calender year / month variable -- 'sales volume for 2000 oct'
-- but when the report is run, if the user wants to go and change the filter: calender year / month > rt clk > keep filer value > select Jan 2003.
The kf column header still shows 'Sales Volume 2000 Oct'
How to make the column header change to 'sales volume for Jan 2003' ?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to fix the column header width in BEx or WAD

hi there!
how to fix the column header width in BEx or WAD. because, depends on the column data, the column size varies. i want to fix the size so that i can maintain the consistency through out the report.
thanks!
Vam.

Dear Vam,
you can easily do that with css, search the source code of the executed web template for the td tag which is around your coloumn header, remember the style sheet class name it is ´displayed as class= in the td tag.
Now you can add this code the beginning of your web template:
</style>
This will only work in Web.

How to change the page Header background colour in a Theme

Hello,
I want to know how to change the page header background colour. If you are in the Editor I don't find a property where to change it.
If you are in the Theme Editor in the header bar I want to change stands <b>Theme Editor</b>. This (in my case blue colored bar) I want to change in another color.

Hello Radhika,
thanks for your answer. Where do I find the option for the pageheader in System Administration>Portal Display>Theme Editor ->IView Trays exactly?
The pageheader is a picture, which must be uploaded for the web dynpro. Why should any webdynpro element in the ivew tray. There is no relationship between these two parts.
I have not found any option to change the web dynpro pageheader. Could there any extra theme editor for webdynpro?
Thanks.

How to change the column name as bold in adf table

Hi,
How can I change the column name with bolder style and blue colour in adf Table?
I changed the color and font weight in af:column properties, but its effecting the data in that column but not with the column Header Text property.(i have given column name in header text).
can any one have any idea how to do this?
and I have taken panel tabbed layout and in that i'm displaying this table.
but this table has scroll beneath of it to show all columns.
but i want to display all columns (for this, page should have scroll at the bottom side).
how can I achieve this???

Hi,
Add the following CSS Code to the custom skin css file that is to be created as per the suggestions above.
*af|column::column-header-cell{*
color:Blue;
font-weight:bold;
This would ensure that all the table column headers are blue in color and bolder font style through-out the application.
By the way, what version of JDeveloper are you using?
Thanks,

How to change the column order in the DB?

Hi all,
For example,
     there is an employee database with the field names empno(1),empname(2), empphone(3), empaddress(4), empsal(5). the values in the brackets are the column order i.e., the order in which the column names are placed.
     I have the details of the employee records in a .txt file and i have to upload the file with the same column order with some delimiter. I done it but in future if any one have the details of the employee details with some other column order i.e., empaddress(1), empsal(5), empno(3), empname(4), empphone(5)
     how i can change the column order of the database ...
Thanx in advance...
Bye,
