How to Handle Data with Icons

I'm trying to create a directory of showroom locations and the type of products that they carry. I need an efficient way to manage the data (like an Access database) but I need to represent the product categories with icons. My team has drawn the icons in Illustrator and I have considered using a utility to create a custom icon font, but those custom icon fonts are web-fonts only and it appears that they cannot be used in the database directly. The final output needs to be in a printable format. Any suggestions on how to solve this? Do I need someone to write a custom script to run in InDesign?

Hard to say without seeing the layout, but perhaps Data Merge would work-- you can place images using data merge. Another possibility is to use some sort of text symbol, then use Find/Change to replace with contents of the clip board after copying an icon.
Or make your own font with a better utility: Indiscripts :: IndyFont

Model of how APEX handles data (values)?

Reference {thread:id=2486655}
I'm trying to get a model of how APEX handles data (values). There are several places(?) that data (values) can exist. Or so it seems. I'm trying to understand how these work -- to put all the pieces together.
Question:
A) Where data can be?
1) In the database
2) In the session
3) Rendered -- and hence displayed on the screen, if a displayed value -- but not in the session
4) In perhaps(?) some working memory pool(?) but different from the page rendered values I see on the screen?
5) Other?
Why do I think this is relevant?
Question:
B) If there are rendered values and session values different from the rendered values, then when code executes, which of these values (rendered or session) is it executing against?
And maybe the answer is, "You don't understand what's going on." Yes, "Exactly!" Hence the question.
Best wishes,
Howard

Howard (DBA in Training) wrote:
I'm putting this together now. For example:
I set the value of a Page Item (say, :P2_DATA) to "BEFORE" in a Before Region process and change it to "AFTER" in an After Region Process. 'BEFORE' was displayed on the screen but 'AFTER' was in the session state. So I see that PL/SQL changes these values in the session state. But it doesn't "go back" to change the HTML after the region has been rendered -- hence we see BEFORE shown on the screen. (I'll have to think about what a Dynamic Action does.)
Also, if a page item has a default value, say 'DEFAULT' then that value doesn't get into the session state. At least, not with my current settings. Oh, that explains a lot of confusion!! I suppose there's a logical reason for this but who would expect default values to be differently from other PL/SQL operations on the item?
Questions:
1) So why does a default value not get put into the session state?Several reasons, among them:
*1. When/why is the value required?* Region items (and thus their source and default values) are rendered in region/item sequence order. The item's source/default value would therefore not be available in session state until it's rendering point. This is frequently later in page show processing than the value is actually required, such as the common use case of including a data value in the page or region title. Setting the value in a Before Header/Regions computation or process makes it available as required before the item is actually rendered.
*2. The rendered page might not be submitted.* Default values are typically set when a page will create a new row. Consider the situation where the user clicks a "Create" button and is presented with an order entry form containing several default values. They then decide they don't want to create a new order after all, and navigate away from the form page via some mechanism that uses a redirect rather than a submit (such as a default "Cancel" button). This means that no page submit processing is performed, and generally that no session state management is performed. If the default values were set in session state, the order entry page would contain the default values for the non-existent order despite the user never submitting it. This may have unwanted side-effects if these values are referenced elsewhere in the application, and therefore would require extra session state management to be built into the application.
*3. A rendered item might not be submitted with the page.* Per the HTML specification, the values of disabled controls unchecked checkboxes are not POSTed on page submit. Consider a situation where a checkbox item is set with several default values, but the application requires that the checkboxes be cleared and disabled by a dynamic action if the user chooses certain options from a select list. In this case, on page submission no values are submitted into session state for the checkbox item. If the defaults had been set in session state, then the application would be in an inconsistent state, with the user-selected option indicating that none of the checkboxes were checked, but with session state holding values showing that they were. This would require additional processing to ensure that the application's state was consistent before saving it to the database.1
2 & 3 are particularly significant in basic wizard-generated applications. Doing things in this way, the wizard-generated DML and navigation "just works", without the need for additional session state management.
2) Is there a Page Item setting that causes the default value to be saved to the session state?No. Hopefully the explanations above provide sufficient reason to show why this is genearlly not desirable. On the rare occasions when it is required, set the session state value using a computation or process.
1 There are other reasons—mainly security related—that make it good practice to perform such checks in more complex and internet-facing applications anyway.

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.

How to handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?

Hi, Gurus.
I am working on IFbA with ABAP and Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
I've developed a function module in R/3 system and created webservice, connected the WSDL address to the form. The problem is how can i handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?
It's Ok if i bind the dataconnection node to the form element, but how can i handle data without binding to the form element? I mean that how can i use the data retrieved from Webserivce in the Javascript, please give me some sample code or script method.
Thanks.

Hi Yang,
If you are using Web Service, then the binding will be done automatically.
It can't grow automatically, what else should i do to achieve this?
1.Select the table(make sure you are not selecting subform) in Hierarchy view
2. Under table select the Row which is having the required fileds for data
3. In the Binding of that row, check the checkbox "Repeat Row for each item data" and under that check the Min Count which will set the default row **** to 1

This surely seems to be a bug to me(if not by design), did you check for any SAP notes? Perhaps a front end trace can help(Note 407743) !

How to compare date with null value

Hi
I have a date filed and i assigned that input box with context attribute of type Date.
Here my problem is
when the end user not entered any thing (null ) the i have give some defaul date.
so first in the action method i have to check the date with null
if it is null i have to give default date.
so please let me know how to over come this.
thanks
Mukesh

Hi
You can get your date in your action method like
Date newDate=new Date();
Date myDate= wdThis
                          .wdGetYourComponentNameController()
                                  .wdGetContext()
                                       .currentYourNodeNameElement()
                                                       .getYourDateName();
if ( myDate== null) {
         wdContext.currentContextElement().setYourDateName(newDate);
else{...........//continue your other validations or calling other methods}

RegardsPoint a) VERY BAD IDEA storing dates as VARCHAR2 on the database. It will only lead to corrupt data in the future.
Point b) When comparing dates, you should compare them as DATE datatype as the database knows how to do comparisons against DATES. If you try and compare them as VARCHAR2 then you will most likely end up with incorrect comparisons.
If you must have varchar2 storing of your dates/times (there's absolutely no reason to though)... you want...
TO_DATE(:entered_date,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') BETWEEN TO_DATE(DATEFROM,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE(DATETO,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')
e.g.
TO_DATE('20080815 13:23:33','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') BETWEEN TO_DATE(DATEFROM,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE(DATETO,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')

How to load data with carriage return through DRM action script ?

Hello,
We are using DRM to manage Essbase metadata. These metadata contain a field for member formula.
Currently it's a string data type property in DRM so we can't use carriage return and our formula are really hard to read.
But DRM support other data type property : memo or formatted memo where we can use carriage return.
Then in the export file, we have change the record delimiter to an other character than CRLF
Our issue : we are regularly using action script to load new metadata => How to load data properties with carriage return using action script ? There is no option to change the record delimiter.
Thanks!

Hello Sandeep
here what I want to do through action script : loading a formula that use more on than one line:
Here, I write my formula using 4 lines but action script cannot load since one line = 1 record.

How to read data with different XML schemas within the single connection?

I have Oracle 11g database
I access it through jdbc:oracle:thin, version 11.2.0.3, same as xdb.
I have several tables, each has one XMLType column, all schema-based.
There are three different XML schemata registered in the DB
I may need to read the XML data from several tables.
If all the XMLTypes have the same XML schema ,there is no problem,
If the schemata are different, the second read throws BindXMLException.
If I reset the connection between the reads of the XMLType column with different schemata, it works.
The question is: how can I configure the driver, or the connection to be able to read the data with different XML schemata without resetting the connection (which is expensive).
The code to get the XMLType data is textbook implementation:
1 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
2 String result = null ;
3    while(resultSet.next()) {
4 SQLXML sqlxml = resultSet.getSQLXML(1) ;
5 result = sqlxml.getString() ;
6 sqlxml.free();
7 }
8 resultSet.close();
9    return result ;

It turns out, that I needed to serialize the XML on the server and read it as Blob. Like this:
1    final Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ;
2    final String sql = String.format("select xmlserialize(content xml_content_column as blob encoding 'UTF-8') from %s where key='%s'", table, key ) ;
3 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
4 String result = null ;
5    while(resultSet.next()) {
6 Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob( 1 );
7 InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
8 result = new Scanner( inputStream ).useDelimiter( "\\A" ).next();
9 inputStream.close();
10 blob.free();
11 }
12 resultSet.close();
13 statement.close();
14
15 System.out.println( result );
16    return result ;
17
Then it works. Still, can't get it work with XMLType in resultset.On the client unwrapping XML blows up when trying to switch to different XML schema. JDBC/XDB problem?

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
My Scenario, is we have a Game Details table. When ever some Game get cloned, we need to add new records in to that Table for the new Game.
As, the id will be primary key, this should populate from a Sequence (in our system, we used this) and Game Name will be new Game Name. And data for other columns should be same as Parent Game.
when ever business needs changes, there will be some addition of new columns in Table.
And with the existing query,
insert into Temp (id, name, partner, info) select sequence.nextval id, 'test1' name, partner, info from TEMP where name='test'_
will successfully add new rows but new added columns will have empty data.
so, is there any way to do this, i mean, some columns with sequence values and other columns with existing values.
One way, we can do is, get ResultSet MetaData (i'm using Java), and parse the columns. prepare a query in required format.
I'm looking for alternative ways in query format in SQL.
Thanks & Regards
PavanPinnu.
