How to create a breadcrumb trail

Hi Captivaters,
I am trying to write some eLearning content that basically allows you to drill down into further detail at the end of each slide.
So, for example I will have one slide that introduces some concepts and does some animation, making images appear and then disappear over, say, a 3 minute period. At the end of that slide, I present some buttons that allow you to jump to slides that offer more detail on specific subjects that were covered in the slide.
I have created the infrastructure to do this in Captivate and it works well .. except ...
I have created a 'Back' button on each of the 'child' slides to allow you to go back to the 'parent' - which would then allow you to drill down to some other child.
I am using an Advanced Action to store the Current Frame in a variable before jumping to the child slide so that the Back button on the child slide can use that variable to jump back to the end of the parent slide without having to go through the whole 3 minutes. This is working.
Now I want to extend this because the childs themselves can provide links to more detail with them ending up as parents.
I basically need to create a breadcrumb trail and to add and remove the last frame from the list when I go forwards or backwards through the course.
I have hit a brick wall at the moment.
For my 'Back' button I need to do something like this:
LastFrame = [code to return last entry from BreadCrumbTrail]
BreadCrumbTrail = [code to remove the last entry from BreadCrumbTrail]
rdcmndGoroFrame := LastFrame
-- BreadCrumbTrail is currently just a comma separated list of Frame numbers that gets appended to every time I click a button that goes to a child - I couldn't find a way of creating an Array variable 8)
One specific question would be whether it is possible to use operators like 'Substring' in value clauses. If that is possible, I could probably work it out myself.
Is there some command reference somewhere? Is this ActionScript? (Sorry .. I am a complete newbie trying to run before I can walk
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
David

Hi Kevin
You, ummm, DO realize that the post you replied to is over a year old, no?

Thank you very much

How to create a trailing 6 months graph in OBIEE dashboard?

Hi,
I'm new to oracle and currently learning new OBIEE application where I'm task with creating a graph trailing 6 months. I did some research and found a solution in this forum but given that my background is not IT so those codes to me is like another language. Basically I need to create a graph where users would select a prompt month like June-14, the graph would should show data for the prior month from May backward to Jan. In my report, I would have 4 column like fiscal year, month, sales, and supplier.
I know how to create the report to pull the data but I'm struggling with where/how to set up filter and prompt and where to apply the appropriate SQL query. Please help! Step by Step instruction would be very helpful.
Thanks you so much in advance.

Hi,
That filter will not help you ...
You said : users would select a prompt month like June-14
The previous formula work on the current real date, not on a prompt (and why to cast CURRENT_DATE as date? It's a date! And again: DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_MONTH * (-1) + 1 isn't it easier to just write 1 - DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_MONTH) ? ...).
Coming back to your question .... by the way ...
I'm new to oracle and currently learning new OBIEE application and my background is not IT so those codes to me is like another language
I would highly suggest you follow a proper training and/or a good book (please avoid the guy advertising his DVD OBIEE training for few $$) at least you start with good basis on OBIEE and BI / data analysis and reporting in general.
Let's start by your prompt: when you say a month like June-14, do you mean that you really have a month column in your subject area with values like June-14? Do you also have a proper date next to it or anything more "numeric" ? Because otherwise you will need to translate textual months names into real date to be able to easily calculate the previous X months.

How do I use my trailer in my new iMovie ? They are separate files.

In my previous version of iMovie running on my iMac I could easily create a trailer (a quick preview of the video) to run at the start of my new movie. The trailer and the movie were all part of the same file.
With my new Mac Pro running iMovie 10.0.3 I created a 1 minute trailer of a recent camping trip. I like te excitement the trailer creates. I also created a one hour video of the trip itself.
These are two separate files in my Project library. How do I get the trailer to run at the start of my hour long video?
thank you

Hello bruce.roberts99,
You can export the trailer as a QuickTime file, then import it back into an event. This should allow you to add the trailer to the beginning of another project.

We need to maintain a history (called audit trail) for the particular asset that has been depreciated using this program. For this audit train we have been asked to use "Generic Object Services" in transaction code ABAA.
Unfortunately, Generic object services are not available in this transaction code. Can you please suggest me how to create "Generic Object Services" for a particular standard transaction code. Also, we have show the details of custom workflow that follows the approval process in order to depreciate the asset. how to show this workflow details using Generic Services. This is a very critical issue, any help will be very help ful.
Please let me know should you require more information on this topic.

Instead of copyg the std fm to z, do the following,
1. Go to se37 open FM VIEW_KURGV in display mode.
2. Click on the spiral icon on the top.
3. Then in menu go edit->enhancment options -> show implicit enhancement
4. """""""""""""""""""""" kind of lines will appear in the cde, just rt click on the line at the place u want to insert the code and select

How to create Box in scripts

hi
can anyone send how to create box, like table including vertical and horizontal lines in sap-scripts
regards
ratna

BOX Command
Syntax
/: BOX
Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT, and FRAME, you must specify both a measurement and a unit of measurement. Specify the INTENSITY parameter as a percentage between 0 and 100.
XPOS, YPOS
Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
WIDTH
Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
HEIGHT
Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
FRAME
Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
INTENSITY
Grayscale of box contents as %.
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: You must specify decimal numbers as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by enclosing them in inverted commas. Use the period as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
· TW (twip)
· PT (point)
· IN (inch)
· MM (millimeter)
· CM (centimeter)
· LN (line)
· CH (character).
The following conversion factors apply:
· 1 TW = 1/20 PT
· 1 PT = 1/72 IN
· 1 IN = 2.54 CM
· 1 CM = 10 MM
· 1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the form header
· 1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the form header
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with shading having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
SIZE Command
Syntax
/: SIZE
Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started, the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
WIDTH, HEIGHT
Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

Can any 1 tell me how to create budget journal and how to enter journal ?

hi all+
Can any one tell me how to create budget journal and how to enter journal against that budget ?+
Regards+
Yasir+

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/gl/budjrnl.htm#index-Budget-journals-Entering--0
Enter budget journals to maintain an audit trail for your budget balances. You can use budget rules to calculate budget journal amounts automatically.
When you post budget journals, the journal amounts update existing budget balances. You can review and change your budget journals before posting them.
Attention: When you use budget rules in Journal Mode, General Ledger calculates the appropriate debit or credit needed to achieve the balance you enter for the account type.
Prerequisites
1. Define a budget
2.Open one or more years for your budget
3.Define a budget organization
4. Assign the "Entered" budget entry type to the accounts for which you want to enter budget journals
To enter budget journals for a single account:
1. Navigate to the Enter Budget Journals window.
2. Specify the Budget Organization for the account to which you want to budget. If the budget organization is password-protected, you must enter the password before you can enter budget journals.
3. Enter the Budget you want to update. You cannot use a budget that is frozen.
4. Enter the range of Accounting Periods to which you want to budget.
5. Enter the Currency of the budget amounts you are entering. The accounts must be assigned to the budget organization for this currency.
6. Choose Journal Mode from the region poplist to enter budget amounts in a journal format.
You can also use Single Row Mode or Worksheet Mode to enter budget journal amounts. However, you can only generate budget journals from these entry modes when you use the Enter Budget Journals window.
Additional Information: When you use Journal Mode, Balance Type is a display-only field. It displays Budget when you are entering budget journals. In the Enter Journals window, this field displays Actual when you are entering actual journals.
7. Enter or query the Account to which you want to budget. You can also switch to Worksheet Mode to easily query accounts, then return to Journal Mode to enter budget journals.
8. Enter a Debit or Credit amount for each period. Do not enter journal amounts if you want to use budget rules to calculate and distribute budget amounts.
9. Choose Create Journals to create a budget journal batch. If you are using budgetary control, you specify a funds action when you create the batch.

Can I create a movie trailer using still photos from iPhoto library

Hey,
I am wondering whether I can create a movie trailer (like Epic Drama for example) using still images / photos from my iphoto library instead of using movie clips.
I have found out how to import photos in a normal project but I cannot do the same for a movie trailer project.
THX
Dimitris

You can do this.
The trick is to convert your trailer to a project.
First, I would suggest going to the Project Library view and selecting your trailer. Then FILE/DUPLICATE and give the duplicate a name, like (Original Name - Backup).
Then, with the trailer selected in the Project Library, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
Your trailer is now a project and you can add stills and use all the capabilities of iMovie.

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

How to create a group calendar?

Hello,
i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
*In short:*
I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
LONG:
I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
+"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
+There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
+The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
Thanks, Philipp.
10.6.4 OSX Server
10.6.x Clients

you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there and then in the setting of the wiki is where you set permissions and services such as calendar, blog, and podcast you can also set all permissions for the wiki in the settings tab
fyi none of my groups were available unless i logged into the wiki as the Directory Admin not Server Admin
migrated from 10.5.7 to 10.6

Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
