How to force Portal not to display item content for a custom item

Hi,
I've read in several places questions about rendering an Item in a custom way, without letting portal
display the item content, if you read along I've discovered a SIMPLE WAY to force portal not to
display the content item.
As per bugs and requests on metalink it seemed that in many versions of Oracle Portal (mine is 9.0.4.1)
this is impossible, since even if we remove the "Item Content" from the list of displayed attributes in the
region, Portal does display it anyway, just after every other Attribute.
- Re: using an item type procedure
- Metalink BUG # 3998251 "ENH: SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIDE "ITEM CONTENT" FOR TEXT ITEMS OR NEED A NEW ITEM TYP" and is being looked into internally whether it is feasible to include this in future releases.
- Metalink Doc ID:      Note:290534.1          Subject:      Unable to Hide the "Item Content" Attribute for a Text Item
Mine scenario was the usual one:
-oracle portal 9.4.0.1
-a custom item based on custom text (so as to have the RTE to edit HTML).
-A few attributes that help me define the class of an enclosing DIV tag that I wanted to put (a class and an ID)
-A plsql call associated to the custom item, with the flag "display inline" checked
-The dirty HTML generated by the built-in Oracle RTE (with BODY and HTML tags enclosing the actual HTML)
-The region that will contain the item is set so that just the "Function Call" is (or should be) displayed
I wanted to control entirely the display of the item text, while enclosing it in a custom DIV tag.
After a few tries, one of which involved forcing an HTML comment around the item content that Portal stubbornly
displayed, I've discovered this simple way. I don't know hom much this way is portable, but is done entirely with the APIs.
In the stored procedure that displays the item, that I encolose, i just do:
1) retrieved the ITEM querying WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS;
2) updated the ITEM via WWSBR_API.MODIFY_ITEM, passing as display_otpion the value WWSBR_API.FULL_SCREEN!!
Here I try a little explanation:
An item just created has FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=0. This way the stored procedure is executed
AND the item content is displayed.
WIth the modify_item, the item gets FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=2 !! This seems strange since the docs
tells that inplace can be 0 or 1. But this works.
I've played with the WWV_THINGS table directlry, and setting INPLACE to 0, 2 or 3 works as well, while
if it is set to 1, it behave the usual way.
The trick is to have FULLSCREEN to 1 while INPLACE is not set to 1.. and this was the easiest solution.
I'd like to receive a feedback from Oracle regarding this behaviour.
Bye

How to force carraige return in display-only item

Can I somehow force a carraige return in the text for a display only item? Aesthetically, I'd would like to have strategically-placed line breaks.
Thanks,
C

Scott -- Sorry, I posted the wrong example entirely. Here's the assignment statement. If it isn't clear I'll try to put an example on apex.oracle.com... which I've not done before, so would be another learning experience :)
:P1_MESSAGE_1 := 'my display text line1< br>my display text line2';
My assignment statement is exactly the same format as what you posted on
Jul 29, 2008 2:51 PM, with the space after the opening bracket removed, as you
indicated it should be.
:P1_MESSAGE_1 is a display only, saves state item. After the assignment
statement (and submit), what is displayed is exactly what's in the single quotes, including the brackets and the "br" -- the html doesn't appear to be recognized as such:
Item display is: my display text line1< br>my display text line2
Does this clarify what I'm doing?
Thanks,

Purchase order no not getting displayed in FBL3N for doucment type RE

Dear all,
We have done a settings in FBL3N t.code. We have added BSEG-EBELN in the special fields and saved the layout. The purpose is to make the purchase order number to display when we are executing line item display for GR/IR clearing and Cenvat clearing gl account. Purchase order number is correctly getting displayed in Gr/ir clearing account. But in cenvat clearing gl account the transactions that are related to doucment type SA(that is J1IEX transaction), the purchase order number is getting displayed, but in the transactions that are related to document type RE(MIRO transactions), the purcahse order number is not getting displayed.
We have checked the BSEG table for the gl account. The purchase order number is not getting updated for the MIRO transactions in the cenvat clearing gl account.
Please suggest us so that the above issue can be solved.
Thanks & Regards,
Anand

Hi,
Could you please add field BSEG-EBELN as a special field in FBL3N (from menu path Settings -> Special fields). Then, select the Purchase order field again from "Change Layout" (Ctrl+F8). Now this field is available for display variants, it has the technical name 1-U_EBELN and the description 'Purchase Document'. The other field has the same description but as technical name
'1-EBELN'. When you create a display variant be aware that you select 1-U_EBELN and not 1-EBELN.
Please also refer to note 215798.

How to store lead-time and price per MPN for a single Item

We are probably one of the only CEM's that use Oracle Applications in a one-to-one MPN-IPN (Oracle Item Part Number) relationship. We do not currently store multiple Manufacturers under a single Item. Rather, we use the Customer Item Cross Reference to rank the customer's AML, with each IPN tied to a single MPN.
We are looking at moving into a one-to-many "world" in Oracle but are not sure how we can handle different pricing, lead-time, preference, status (prototype, production, obsolete, do not use), etc. for each Manufacturer's Part Number under a single Item. How are other CM's handling this???

Hi Greg,
Unfortunately, DIAdem Datafinder doesn't really support much in the way
of Date/Time search outside of the File Level Creation Date property.
In order to make the creation time of the Channels searchable you would
want to create some custom properties (or use the existing RegisterInt1
- RegisterInt6) to define your own searchable properties.
For example, since you know that you have one TDM file per day, you can
start your search by find the desired day on the File Property Level,
searching the "Creation Date" property. When you store your TDM
properties, you could store the hour creation as an integer (and
thereby searchable) in one of the RegisterInt properties of the
channel, or create your own custom "Hour" channel. You could similarly
save the minute and second property in their own custom properties.
Then, since you're saving integer values, you can then search those
values to determine the time that the channel was created.
I realize that this isn't ideal or elegant, as in total it requires 4
searches (date, hour, minute, second). But that is the most
straightforward way of searching your channels by creation date/time.
Hope this helps Greg, let me know if you have any other questions.

How to Force the Good Plan present in dba_hist_sql_plan for an SQL_ID

Hi Folks
Here i have a question on how to fix the query execution plan for which we are facing the problem. The current execution plan of the SQL ID is bad , but the execution plan in dba_hist_sql_plan or v$sql_plan is showing good one's.
So how to force the plan_hash_value present in dba_hist_sql_plan or v$sql_plan to the current sql. Where in we cannot try using any kind of hints in the SQL so my question here , is there any way to update manually to update the plan_hash_value for the SQL_ID so that it can use the execution plan which we want to force.
Regards,
Phani.

But my question is i have the good plan for the SQL_ID which is now running with the bad plan ( I am able to see the good plan in dba_hist_sql_plan view ) , my challenge here is how to force >the SQL_ID to take good plan PLAN_SQL_HASH_VALUE. Once the query is parsed and in memory I'm not aware of any way of changing the plan :(
A day later a similar situation came up with one of our clients. I'm still not aware of any way to manually change the execution plan of an already parsed SQL but suspect histograms and/or bind peeking may be a way to explain this phenemenon

How to enable COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc. panels for the custom components?

POSITION AND SIZE and COMPONENT PARMETERS are the only panels available for the custom components. Is there a way to configure the custom components or the Flash Pro itself to enable other panels (COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc.) that available for the Adobe UI components?

In Flash CS6, you'll need to place your component(compiled clips) inside a Movieclip symbol to apply these settings. In Flash CC, you may do so directly from the Properties panel like for any other movieclip symbol.
Let me know if you face issues.

Activate "Open Item Management" for account, line items posted previously

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am having a problem when do a clearing for GL account due to "open item management" check box in Txn FS00 is not activated and only "Line Item Display" is activated. For your info, there are line items already posted and now we want this GL as an "Open Item Management". We are using ECC 6.0.
I did referred to a previous posting in this Forums Activate "Open Item Management" for an Asset, line items posted previously but i received these errors when following the solution. The errors are like below:
*Account 0039091200 is a reconciliation account in company code 5000
*Company code 5000 is not considered for the activation
What does it means by these errors? How do i rectify this error?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Nazrul

Hi,
1. Executing report RFSEPA02 has a risk and also doubtful since it is not applicable in ECC 6.0 (New GL).
2. Create a New G/L with Open item management and transfer the balance to the newly created G/L.
Refer the earlier threads / replies else last option contact SAP (OSS).

Problem with Configurator - Cannot Update Item Attributes for a Config item

Hi!
We configured an item to reproduce the following feature of Oracle Configurator in our business case (Oracle Configurator Modeling Guide - 115czmod.pdf): «For example, if you have raw materials that are ordered by lengths, do not create an item for each length. Instead, define a single item for each raw material with an attribute: Length. Then capture the needed length from the end user by a numeric input or from a List of Options, and associate that input with the attribute.»
However, after we run the AutoCreate Configuration Items program the item was created in the Item Master but no Attribute was updated with the user defined values (within OConfigurator).
We associated Item Attributes to Propoerties and these are associated to Feature Options.
we wish to have the Item Descriptive Element Values (Item Catalog)
transferred from the Configurator run time, after we configure any item.
This is because we are working with item dimensions, such as length and width.
We need to define these dimensions during the Configurator run time and have them transferred into the final configuration so that we can use them later on manufacturing. We wish to display these dimensions on a job.
Support said that "The descriptive element value for the configuration item is copied from the model. This process will not look at the properties in the configurator.
You may consider using the custom hook for catalog descriptions to get the selected attributes from CZ to the descriptive elements for the config item. Please see Custom CTO Packages under Setup page 2-63 in CTO Process Guide for more details."
I'm trying to implement the suggested solution.
I've customized user_catalog_desc procedure on CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC package to populate the item catalog values.
I'm failing to find the descriptive element values defined on configuratior for a specific inventory item id.
I have managed to found a relation between "p_params.p_item_id" given in procedure user_catalog_desc and
the configurated item_id in order to update the catalog data on the CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC package.
This is what I've done:
procedure user_catalog_desc (
p_params IN CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC.inparams,
p_catalog_dtls IN OUT NOCOPY CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC.catalog_dtls_tbl_type,
x_return_status OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2)
is
begin
declare
counter number;
i number;
l_value varchar2(30);
begin
-- Put your logic here in such a way that you populate p_catalog_dtls
-- parameter. p_catalog_dtls is a array of records. The attributes of
-- this record are cat_element_name and cat_element_value.
-- viz. record (
-- cat_element_name varchar2(30),
-- cat_element_value varchar2(30)
-- Example : p_catalog_dtls(1).cat_element_value := 'XYZ';
-- IMPORTANT : DO NOT ALTER THE VALUE OF cat_element_name . Doing so will
-- result in incorrect or inconsistent behaviour.
-- Make sure you set the x_return_status variable to one of the following:
-- FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS to indicate success
-- FND_API.FND_API.G_RET_STS_ERROR to indicate failure with expected status
-- FND_API.FND_API.G_RET_STS_UNEXP_ERROR to indicate failure with unexpected status
select count(*) into counter from MTL_DESCR_ELEMENT_VALUES
where inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_id;
for i in 1 .. counter loop
select
distinct to_char(nvl(cz.input_num_val,cz.item_num_val)) into l_value
from OE_ORDER_LINES_V oe
, oe_order_headers_all oeh
, CZ_CONFIG_CONTENTS_V cz
where oe.header_id = oeh.header_id
and oeh.order_number in (
select distinct oeh.order_number
from OE_ORDER_LINES_V oe
, oe_order_headers_v oeh
where oe.header_id = oeh.header_id
and oe.inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_id)
and cz.ps_node_name = p_catalog_dtls(i).cat_element_name
and oe.config_header_id = cz.config_hdr_id
and oe.config_header_id in (select distinct cz.config_hdr_id from CZ_CONFIG_CONTENTS_V cz)
and cz.ps_node_name in (select element_name from MTL_DESCR_ELEMENT_VALUES where inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_
id);
p_catalog_dtls(i).cat_element_value := l_value;
end loop;
x_return_status := FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS;
end user_catalog_desc;
end;
Although the customization seam correct the AutoCreate Configuration Items process
terminates with warning, and the catalog info is not updated as expected.
Can anyone help me on this?
Many thanks in advance.
Paulo Santos

How did you solve this issue? During my testing I found there to be no link to the order lines when I was within this program. Therefore I am having issues getting the configuration information to populate the catalog. Is there a link and I just was doing it wrong? Thanks for any help!
Thanks,
Angela

Error "a plugin is needed to display this content" for embedded Google map, but no plugin identified.

When I try to view a page that has a Google map embedded on the page, I get the error message "a plugin is needed to display this content". However, I don't know what plugin, where to get it, etc. I've tried searching for this issue but haven't been able to come up with anyone else experiencing a similar issue, nor does there seem to be a plugin for Google Maps that I can find.
The page is here:
http://osiama.org/lodges#
The map displays when one of the links is clicked in the table.

I'm not sure why, but the site uses <embed> for the map instead of <iframe>.
When Firefox wants to render an <embed>, it needs to know what type of object is being embedded, and the site doesn't supply that information, so you see a generic "I don't know how to handle this" error.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick workaround for you as the end user. If you are the type to tinker, you can manually edit the code of the page in the web console as follows:
* right-click the plugin message and choose Inspect Element (Q) - the web console will open to the Inspector, with the <embed> element selected (screen shot #1)
* double-click embed and edit it to iframe, then press Enter to finish the edit
* Firefox will now load the map (screen shot #2)
This isn't a general fix-all for plugin errors, and ultimately the site will need to change this.

Business System not reflecting the XI Content for SRM

Hi,
We are currently working on the SUS-MM scenario.
The landscape includes PI 7.11, SRM 7.0 and R/3 4.6C. SLD Communication is working fine between these systems.
Integration Builder has SRM Server 7.0 and SRM Server IC 7.0 imported.
The current status:
We can successfully transfer vendors from SAP R/3 to SUS
We cannot transfer transaction data from SAP R/3 to SUS, e.g. purchase orders etc
Our Main Issue:
The Business System INTEGRATION_SERVER_<SID> is imported into the Integration Builder from the SLD.
On the Display communication component screen, the receiver and Sender tabs are not showing any of the SRM Server or IC components that have been imported into the ESR. However is displaying only the BASIS components that was imported during inital install.
Because of this, we are not able to proceed with the configuration though the interfaces being available in the ESR. We are not sure what is that we are missing that is preventing the XI content for SRM from being displayed. Also, the PI business system in the SLD has the SRM Content listed under the installed products list.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat.

Hello,
do you have a solution? I'm facing the same issue.
