How to create security for flat files under a Webserver Directory?

Hello,
I have an Application where I need to show a Flat Excel File (with open/save option) from a URL from Portal.
This works fine.
But a user can view this file without login to Portal.
Though we restricted the directory, file access is uncontrolled.
What should we do?
Thanks
Madhav

I mean, how to enforce Login to Portal on flat files in the Web Server Directory(if the users are accessing directly from URL), they should be accessible as long as they logged into Oracle Portal. But right now, they can access by typing the URL for this flat file directly into browser.
Thanks for your time
Madhav

According to something I read, protecting files through SSO should be available in release 2 of 9iAS (should be real soon now). It's done through an Apache module mod_sso.

How to create Fixed Length Flat File from Open Hub in BI 7.0

My requirement is to produce a Fixed length Flat file by Open Hub destination. My Open Hub has four fields. Now the requirement is to create another extra field in Open Hub which will contain all of the four fields value. In addition to that the fields should be fixed length that means if for any field no value is there and the field length/type is CHAR4 then 4 spaces should be there as the field value. SO, basically the Open Hub output will be single field which will contain information of four fields.
How to get this using End Routine of Transformation (from DSO to Open Hub) ?

Hi,
You can map the four input fields to the new field in the Open Hub, and change rule type to "Routine".
For example, if your source fields are called "first", "second", "third" and "forth", the ABAP routine could be similar to:
DATA: l_t_1 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_2 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_3 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_4 TYPE C LENGTH 4.
IF source_fields-first IS INITIAL.
l_t_1 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-first TO l_t_1.
endif.
IF source_fields-second IS INITIAL.
l_t_2 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-second TO l_t_2.
endif.
IF source_fields-third IS INITIAL.
l_t_3 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-third TO l_t_3.
endif.
IF source_fields-forth IS INITIAL.
l_t_4 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-forth TO l_t_4.
endif.
CONCATENATE l_t_1 l_t_2 l_t_3 l_t_4 into result.
In the example, the program uses four blank spaces if any of the fields has no value.
Additionally, if non-initial values in input fields could be shorter than 4 characters (if the input fields have no fixed length), you could use STRLEN to evaluate if it is necessary to add blank spaces to complete the fixed length of 4.
I hope this helps you.

How to Create Hierarchy From Flat file Structure

Hi Gurus,
There is a scenario for me regarding the Hierarchy.
Required Hierarchy structure - Region>Director>Manager-->Sales id
I have flat file which gives the info like user id , sales id , manager id, director id.
But the transaction data Flat file has structure with sales id, region id, sales amt, sales qty.
Note : Region id is another Master Data.
How i can create hierarchy from the first flat file which doesnot have region info in that but it is available in the transaction data Flat file.
Is there anyway we can create hierarchy based on the first Flat file structure which contains more that 1,00,000 records.
Try to Suggest me in this regard .
This is urgent.
Regards,
Mano

Hi Mano,
                Defining the source system from which to load data
Choose the source system tree File ® Create.
       2.      Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data
Optional: choose InfoSource Tree ® Root (InfoSources) ® Create Application Components.
Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Other Functions ® Create InfoSource 3.x ® Direct Update.
Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
       3.      Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Your InfoSource ® Assign Source System. The transfer structure maintenance screen appears.
The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
○       Attributes
○       Texts
○       Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
       4.      Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
Select the DataSource for uploading hierarchies.
IDoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA during loading, which affects performance.
PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here.
       5.      Maintaining the hierarchy
Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy
Hope this helps

SAP BO DI 3.2 How to import definition for flat files

Hi All,
I have several MS Access database with their respective tables , but Im needing now to import the tables structure/definitions of their tables as Flat Files definitions inside SAP BO DI 3.2 , is there an automatically way to do this without using the Flat File Editor?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
if you have the data in an Access database can you not just connect via ODBC to get the data? This would also allow you to get the column metadata easily.
If you are going to export the data from Access to flat files then do this first and then use the Flat File editor to create each file in turn, as long as you have access to the file then you can open it in the file editor and Designer will import the schema for you.

Adrian

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Create javadoc for java files under development

hi
i would like to know if there is any method by which i can generate javadoc of java files that are in the process of development.
What i do is first create a skeleton java file with just the methods defined along with their javadoc comments and then start implementing the methods.
I do a daily build of javadoc and hence its not necessary that a coding of a particular method is completed before javadoc is run.
sibi

it dint work for me. i have a sample code
public class HelloWorld
      * Sample Hello world. Note the 3rd System.out.print is missing a ";" and hence
      * should cause a compile error and Javadoc must have no problem running.
     public static void main()
          System.out.print("H");
          System.out.print("E");
          System.out.print("L")     //Note ";" is missing
          System.out.print("LO WORLD");
          System.out.println();
}Note the 3rd System.out.print has a ";"missing and must generate an error when compiling but the javadoc must run properly. Note the method main() is fully defined with parameters and return types.
Pls correct me if i am wrong.

How to create a target flat file in a mapping?

Hi,
I defined a Target location tar_loc (D:\target), a file modul and a file with location tar_loc and file name target_file.
In a mapping I try to use this file as a target.
After validating I get the message: VLD-2357: The name of the target file for target_file is missing.
What to do?
Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas
Set the target data file name when you configure the mapping on the file ooperator, see;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/06/some_tips_and_hints_about_xml.html
Also this one is interesting for dynamic file names;

How to create keyboard for Load Files into Photoshop

does anyone know if there is a way to create or is there an existing keyboard shortcut to Load Files into Photoshop from Bridge?

I should have been more specifc.
Much like in bridge-tools-photoshop-load files into photoshop, I want to load multiple files into a layered photoshop document.
Can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for this action. Though I don't know how to write scripts very well but there are far too many keyboard shortcut posts I've searched and can't seem to find a way.

How to show hidden dot (".someFile") files under a specific directory

Hello!
I came across numerous ways to show hidden files and folders in Finder via a Google search, but I don't want to open the door to an accidental screwup with important files.
However, I do want to be able to view the hidden .htaccess files in Finder in order to learn to use Apache web server modules. Is it possible to tell Finder to show me the .htaccess files only in my /htdocs directory?
Thanks.

AFAIK the Finder is either on or off for displaying hidden files. However, there is a Contextual Menu item that may do what you want:
http://home.online.no/~stoedle/YLS/YLS-products/FolderGlance.html
You set it up so when you control or right click on a folder it displays all the contents, including hidden files. FolderGlance is donationware.

How IE works for flat file

Hi all:
As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name if there is only a flat file on FTP? how IE works for Flat file ?
Couldn't thank you more

Hi,
For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
Is that answer your question?

Krish
