How to force user to enter supplier/customer name in captial letters in R12

Dear all,
Could anyone pls advise how to force user to enter supplier/customer name in captial letters in R12? Can I do it using OA framework personalization?
HY

Pl post exact versions of OS and EBS.
The ability to do this exists in forms (professional user interface) using forms personalization, but does not exist in the OAF (self-service) interface, AFAIK. See related MOS Doc 399892.1 (Is It Possible To Restrict Employee Name Entry To All Upper Case in the PUI And SSHR ?) for some details.
Pl confirm by opening an SR with Support.

How to force users to enter their ID and password ?

I am considering installing AirPort Extreme at our office. We don't want guests connecting to our network. is there any option/software that will force the guest to enter an ID and password to connect to our network ? This is similar to what happens at the hotels when we try to connect to hotel's network.

The AirPort Extreme does not have the features necessary to create a "splash page" that provides basic information about the company and asks users for their identity and password....like you see at most hotels.
Basically, with an AirPort Extreme, users would have to scan to look for the name of the wireless network to join, and then enter the password to connect.
The best that you might be able to achieve with the AirPort Extreme is create a "hidden" network, which would require that users know both the name of the wireless network and password to connect. However, based on experience, this might be more of a hassle than anything else.
The bottom line.....Apple really designed the AirPort routers for home use, so that might be the best place for them in most cases.

How to "force" user to enter a valid value in a TextBox

How can one create a TextBox in which the user is not able to leave (commit the value, change focus, or perform the action of another control) unless a valid value (the value to be committed) is displayed?
The following is the best I've come up with so far.
Good: It doesn't permit a value to be committed unless it is valid.
Good: It doesn't permit the focus to be changed when TAB is pressed unless it is valid.
Bad: It permits the user to perform the action associated with a button at any time.
In the following code pressing on the button prints "I've been pushed", no matter the value of the TextBoxes. Can I stop this (in general, not for specific buttons)?
class ValidTextBox extends TextBox {
public-init var validValue:String = "";
function isValid():Boolean {
    return (rawText == validValue);
var isFocused = bind focused on replace {
    if (not focused and not isValid()) {
      requestFocus();
override function commit():Void {
    if (isValid()) { super.commit(); }
    else {};
var string1:String = "" on replace { println ("String1 = '{string1}'") };
var string2:String = "" on replace { println ("String2 = '{string2}'") };
def textbox1 = ValidTextBox { text: bind string1 with inverse; promptText: "String1: enter abc"; columns: 20; validValue: "abc"; }
def textbox2 = ValidTextBox { text: bind string2 with inverse; promptText: "String2: enter def"; columns: 20; validValue: "def"; }
def aButton = Button {
text: "Push me";
action: function():Void { println("I've been pushed!"); }
Stage {
scene: Scene {
    width: 250
    height: 300
    content: [ VBox { spacing: 10; content: [ textbox1, textbox2, aButton ] } ]
}

It sounds like you are looking for a concept of validation that groups items together. In days long gone Oracle used to have a product called Oracle Forms - that had field validation, record validation and block validation. So in your example if string1 and string2 were in the same persistable data object then the equivalent concept would be 'record validation'. The code in your button would say "if the record is valid print". A record is only valid if all its fields are valid.
JavaFX really provides a 'GUI toolkit'. I think you are looking for a fairly advanced binding framework - a framework that builds on the concept of field level validation. You can approximate such a thing by creating a 'validation group' class. This class would be able to have nodes added to it and have an 'isValid()' function which only returns true if all the node items are valid.

Forcing user to enter values at table level

Hi,
I have created a table ztest. How to force user to enter the values for certain fields in the table which are not keys, similar to not null in RDBMS. selecting the initial values filed in SE11 populates with some default value, but it doesnt force the user to enter the value.

Raghu

Hi,
Just check out transaction code SE54 for events.
Go in SE54.
Give your table name.
Go in Environment --> Events.
Here add the Event '01' i.e. Before saving the data.
Give the name for event eg 'BEFORE_SAVE'.
Click on Editor to create an include program.
In the include program write
form before_save.
data: f_index like sy-tabix. "Index to note the lines
loop at total.
    if <action> = 'N' or <action> = 'U'.
      read table extract with key <vim_xtotal_key>.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        f_index = sy-tabix.
      else.
        clear f_index.
      endif.
      "(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
      "End of Modification.
      modify total.
      check f_index gt 0.
      extract = total.
      modify extract index f_index.
    endif.
endloop.
sy-subrc = 0.
endform.
Note here in field symbol 'Total' your workarea will be their. You can make necessary checks here.
Or else you can go for making a custom transaction for your requirement.

How to prompt user to enter City & print out the Country it belongs to?

I have one table with “country“ column and “city” column. I need to prompt the user to enter the city name. Then the program should print which country it belongs to. As an example, if user enters “Paris”, program should recognize that it’s in “France” and it should print it out as follows:
Paris ------------------France
Here’s my code:
ACCEPT p_1 PROMPT 'Please enter the city name:'
DECLARE
v_parent_name ccname.parent_name%TYPE:= '&p_1';
v_child_name ccname.child_name%TYPE := '&p_1';
CURSOR reg_cur
IS
    SELECT child_name, parent_name INTO v_child_name, v_parent_name FROM ccname;
BEGIN
FOR reg_rec IN reg_cur
LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(UPPER(RPAD(v_child_name, 15)) || '      ' || UPPER(RPAD(v_parent_name, 15)));
    FETCH reg_cur INTO v_child_name, v_parent_name;
END LOOP;
END;Any ideas on how I can implement that?
Thank you in advance,
Lisa.

Hi,
Do you want people to help you? Then try to help them. Post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), some parameters you might want to pass, and the results you would want from that sample data for each of the parameters.
If you can use commonly available tables, such as those in the scott or hr schemas, to show your problem, then you don't have to post any sample data; just the parameters (if any) and results.
For example, your problem is:
"I have a table with city and country columns. I want to input a city, and display the country from that same row." That's a lot like:
"The scott.emp table has ename and job columns. I want to input an ename and display the job from that same row."
So, given the name SCOTT, you would want this output:
ENAME      JOB
SCOTT      ANALYSTor, given MILLER you would want:
ENAME      JOB
MILLER     CLERKHere's one way to do that in SQL*Plus:
ACCEPT p_ename PROMPT 'Please enter the employee name: '
SELECT     ename
,     job
FROM     scott.emp
WHERE     ename     = '&p_ename'
;Don't use a meaningless name, like p_1, when you can use a helpful name, like p_ename.
As Billy pointed out, PL/SQL wasn't designed for user interaction like this. There's no point in trying to use PL/SQL to do it.
I hope that answers your question.
If not, please help me understand, so I can do a better job next time. Don't just say "This doesn't work", or "This is not what I'm trying to get", or "Any other ideas?". Those things don't help anyone understand anything. Point out where the suggested soloution is not working, explain what you are trying to get, and give specific examples.

Force user to enter text if checks YES check box

I have created a form with YES and NO check boxes. If user checks YES, they need to provide written reason. Is there a way to "force" user to enter text into text box if they check the YES check box?
Thanks,
Toyro

Hi Jodi,
Yes, it has to be saved as a dynamic PDF.
Additionally, there are some name mismatches in your form so the script was failing. My script defined page 1 as 'page1' while your form defined page 1 as 'Page1'. I renamed your form page 1 to 'page1' and the script worked fine.
I would recommend enabling the debugger in Acrobat for form developement. See Edit > Preferences and enable the following:
I added an additional button with some script on the button 'click' event.
The purpose is to intervene in the submission process, in your case submitting by email. With a single submit button the email dialogue fires regardless of failed form validation. By introducing a second button you can do form validation before enabling submission. The attached form has a visible button called 'submitBtn' and your original 'Submit By Email' button which is declared as 'invisible'. My 'submitBtn' is labelled 'Submit By Email'. When the button is clicked is does form validation. If validation succeeds, I call form1.page1.Button1.execEvent("click"); to submit to the email address attached to 'Button1'.
Take a look and see if it fits your requirements.

How to prevent users from entering '+' or '0' in front of country code in the phone number field?

Requirement:
How can I prevent guest users from entering '+' sign or '0' in front of country-code in the visitor phone number field during self registration?
Few SMS service providers are not looking for '+' sign or '0' or '00' in front of the international phone numbers to trigger the sms. Providing these values in front of country code during self-registration may fail to deliver the sms to recipient.
Solution:
Using a simple regular expression, you can validate the entered phone number during the guest registration.
The below regular expression will help you to validate the phone number and allows to register only when the phone number is not staring with '+' or '0'.
^[1-9][0-9](\d{7}|\d{8}|\d{9}|\d{10}|\d{11}|\d{12})$
It also performs the below validations.
only numbers are allowed.
first digit of the entered phone number should be 1 to 9, so '+' or '0' is not allowed.
numbers from 0 to 9 are allowed from the second digit.
also validates phone number length, the length of the phone number should be 9 to 14.
Configuration:
To add the above regex in the visitor_phone number filed, please navigate to ClearPass Guest >> Configuration >> (Pages)Guest Self-Registration >> select the self-registration page and go to Edit >> Register Page >> Form >> select the filed visitor_phone and set the Validator to " ISRegexMatch" and enter the above regex in the Validator Argument filed as shown below.
Note: Edit the Validation Error as per your requirement.
Verification
Adding the given regex will validate the phone number and prevent the guest user from registering the phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
Please find below the sample outputs for your reference.
Result when phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
Successful registration.

How To Allow User To Enter "$" In A Number Field

I have a form that includes various numeric fields in which the user should enter dollar values. It works fine if the user enters a number WITHOUT a dollar sign. Suppose the user enters "1234", the field will display "$1,234.00", which is exactly what I want. However, if the user decides to change the value, clicks on the field, and replaces the "00" with "56" then when they leave the field it will display "$0.00". I've figured out this is because they left the dollar sign in the field when editing.
So, how can I fix the validation or other settings so that someone could enter "$1234" and have it show "$1,234.00" instead of "$0.00"?
Thank you!
Mike

Hi MJD729,
Have you applied patterns on the numeric field? select pattern like $1,234.21 in Display and Edit TAB of Patterns- Numeric Field dialog box and then check.

How to allow, user to enter the free text in smart forms and Drop Down list

Hi Experts,
How to provide the user to enter text in smart forms? ie Once the smartform generated, there the user allowed to enter text.
And also is there any option to provide Dropdown list in smart forms.
Possible give with example with clear idea.
Its very urgent!!!!
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi!
No, there's no way to it, because Smartform is just like a piece of paper, it can't handle any objects, after it is ready.
It can be printed out/archived/sent on email as an attachment and that's all. It cannot be modified after it is completed.

How to force user to use program?

I have designed a java app that starts as soon as you log on to a Windows NT client. The application asks the user for a project number. After the user types in a valid project number, the application hides. When the user logs off, or does a shutdown, the application writes info to a file about about how long this user used the PC, and for which project number he or she did that. When a user does not enter a project number and tries to close the application, the system will automatically shutdown. I can hide the windows taskbar by using a big size for the application frame.
My question is, how can I make sure that the user does not simply ignores the program by using the windows key, or ctrl-Esc to launch the windows start menu? Someone out there who has an idea? Thanks in advance!

To disable all Windows keyboard shortcut keys, save the following text in a REGINI script called Disable_wins.ini. Run
the script from the Windows NT command prompt. For example, from the C:\users\default> prompt, type regini
disable_wins.ini. Restart the computer to make the changes take effect.

Please Help....On How to restrict user to enter into KM???

Hi Experts,
when ever user is clicking on a linkI am opening a document from the K.M. Here my problem is if user change the path, he is able to enter into KM... like..
http://myEP:50000/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Links/World%20Time.htm
This is the path to see an HTML page stored in KM. User is able to see the page... But when he changes the path to...
http://myEP:50000/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Links/
he is able to enter into KM into the corrosponding folder. How can I restrict him to enter into KM???
Regards,
Srinivas.

Hi Gopal and S.J,
Thank you both for your replies....
This user is not assigned to Content Admin role....
I have given permissions to the corrosponding folder for only one user (end user)...
As you said(Gopal), I have seen the same case in some other portal site like...
Assign permission for a particular folders to the end user.
Then you will get the below message.
The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
You can try one of the following:
Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work.
Even now I am getting the above message but still user can enter into KM....
Regards,
Srinivas.

Force User to enter new password

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to force some of our users to enter a new password when they logon to SAP the next time?
The only way I would know is to give them a new password in SU01 and email it to them. But this would be a lot of work. We do not want to change the password settings in general, as most of our users should not be affected by this.
Does anyone know a differerent way? Maybe to set a flag in the user or a table?
Thanks for any help.
Tobi

you could change parameter
login/password_expiration_time
to - let's say 1 and restart all of the instances of that special system. after one day all users would have to change their passwort.
you could then reset the parameter to 0 (or to whatever value you think adequate) on all instances of the system and restart them ...
thus having forced all your users to change the password at least once.

for some users you have to use SU01 ...
