How to Implement a "Please wait......" animation

Hi,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction in implementing a "Please wait......" ajax loading animation process that is then hidden on result set completion.
I have a report where I would like to indicate to the user that the report is running, using a "Please wait...." animation which then hides when the report results are returned to the user.
Any help/example links that demonstrate this, would be much appreciated. I think there is an Oracle ApEx built-in example but unable to locate.
Thanks.

Hi,
Just wondering if the Ajax Loading process used here at :> Please wait message ... actually works with Oracle ApEx 3.0.1 as I seem to be getting a javascript error when the actual ajax loading animation appears but then javascript error resolves when the ajax loading hides.
Is there some issues with $s and $x in Oracle ApEx 3.0.1 with regards to window.setTimeout('$s("AjaxLoading",$x("AjaxLoading").innerHTML)', 100);
If so, is there a fix for this?
Thanks.
Tony.

Question about Page Builder behavior - how to get a "please wait message" ?

Hi all together,
I got a question about Portal Framework / Page Buider handling iView Integration.
We are working with a lot of App Integrator iViews and often the pages includes with app integrator are loading longer than the rest of the portal. So there is the idea to put in a "please wait while loading message" for the enduser.
I analysed the html code, the page builder is generating and foud out 3 diffrent approaches how the page buider is rendering the IFRAME with the integrated application configured with an app integrator iView.
My question is how can I influence this behavior to put a "please wait while loading message"?
Different types of iView integration in the client I have seen:
a) direct loading of the content in the IFRAME (<iframe id="" ... scr="/mysource">)
b) Filling the iframe with 'about:blank' and loading the content later by filling a form with JS
( <iframe id="" .... scr="about:blank">and after the iframe <form id="" action="mysource" ...>
c) Filling the iframe with a html file from the portal layout and loading the content later by filling a form with JS (similar to b)
( <iframe id=""" ....scr="/irj/portalapps/com.sap.test.mylayout/html/blank.html>
I checked that variant b) is getting generated when loading a page with different components on the side (not only the app integrator iview) and variant c) is generated when just one app integrator iView is positioned (no portal page).
Goal: To get the "please wait picture" I want to know how to get variant c) in cases of different elements on one page
So I would be able to put this picture on the HTML-Page in the Portal layout (blank.html)
Hope, someone with a deep portal / page builder know-how can help me out!
Another way: Does anybody knows another way how to put a "please wait message" while app integrator application is not loaded yet?
Thanks in Advance and kind regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
there are several reasons why you don't get the loading animation:
Web Dynpro ABAP: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1432358 -> missing configuration
Wrong height size for iView: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1358494 -> alter configuration of the iFrame height (loading animation gets displayed, but is hidden)
FPN, BSP, BEx: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1290995 -> AI isn't showing the animation because of performance considerations. I guess that is your case. Depending on your portal version this is a simple service configuration or involves some customization.

Implementing a "please wait" page in a pageflow portlet

Hello-
I am using a page flow to trigger some actions on a remote system. The action
can take a few seconds to complete, and I would like to show an intermediate page
directly after invoking the action that would display a "please wait" message
while the action is finshing.
I was able to acomplish this outside the portal by the following:
-User clicks button to invoke action
-action just forwards to wait.jsp
-javascript in wait.jsp calls the actual remote action that takes a while
-when remote action has completed, action forwards to result page
This works fine outside the portal...I am simply auto-submitting a form on the
wait.jsp page with the proper action. The problem is that I can't get it to work
in the portal. I am unable to find a way to generate the proper url on the wait.jsp
page to submit to the action to that the page flow stays "inside" the portal.
If anyone has implemented this type of behavior in the portal, I would appreciate
any thoughts...
thanks,
Howie

Unfortunately href generates the url internaly (with a quite complicated
algorithm), so I don't think you will find anything. A dirty manual
url generation (by examining some sample urls generated by netui:anchor)
probably might be much faster.
However, if you find something nicer I would be glad to hear about it.

Hi Don-
Thanks for the reply-
I tried using the <netui:anchor> tag, but the problem is that it generates the
entire <a href> tag...I need just the url value so that I can use it in the javascript
to auto-refresh the page to the proper action...
I may try poking around the API to see if there is something I use there...

Hi Howie,
I think you could try at least two methods:
1. Try to use netui anchor, which will generate a valid url for both
portal and standalone pages. One of the pageFlows probably should be
nested in the other one, so you can link it without problems.
If it doesn't work, or you can't use netui:anchor for some reason here
is another tip (It is not too nice, but I think it should work):
1. Try to get the last part of the URL: run the pageFlow without portal,
so you can get an url that points to it.
It will be something like this:
host/application/folder1/.../folderN/someAction.do or
host/application/folder1/.../folderN/somePageFlow.jpf
I guess you will need the .../folderN/someAction.do part as the relative
URL of the pageFlow/action.
2. Add a netui:base tag to your jsp page. It will create a prefix for
each urls on the page, so you can use the url you got in 1.
I'm not sure, but the url you got from 1 and 2 may overlap, in this case
you simply remove the overlaping part from 1.
Hope it will work,
don

How to create 'Please Wait' inside of CFWINDOW?

Folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to create a 'please wait'
display while the contents of a cfwindow loads. Any suggestions?
Samples highly appreciated.

Hello,
According to your question this would be a progress style form. The first link shows an example for copying files (and there are some builtin methods and this is not meant to replace them) while the second link shows how to work with loading a database on
form load.
I did both with specific things in mind but you can go in other directions too.

Display ("Please Wait") message WHILE the page loads

Hello All,
I have adf/jsf application. How to add message " Please Wait While Page Loads" WHILE+* the page is loading ?
I am thinking of Window.confirm(" Please Wait While The Page Loads") Is there a better (More Modern) way to do this?_
Many Thanks,

John, when I type <af:statusIndicator and ctrl + space, JDev does not show statusIndicator as one of the choices. I tried adding code but it seems it does not recognize statusIndicator as one of the tags. I am using other jsf and adf tags on the same page :(

How to implement "Please wait your request is being processed" window ?

Hi all,
We are integrating BSP iviews in our portal. When the BSP applicaiton is being processed(eg. a form is submitted"), is it possible to show a small window like "Please wait your request is being processed" ? .
Such a window appears when any operation is performed in the KM content.
How to achieve such a functionality with the integrated BSP applications. How do I implement this functionality? What are the API's? Any sample code is available?
Thanks and Regards,
Gauri Gosavi.

Hi,
in KM iview there is a hidden DIV with this:
<div id="htmlb_wait" style="z-index:99; display:none; visibility:hidden; left:0px; top:0px; width:0px; height:0px; position:absolute; overflow:hidden;">...</div>
Now you can put it into your BSP page (as hidden). Now before every form submit (onClientClick for button, ...) just call a JS function, which will change the visibility of this div to visible. So the DIV appears and stays here until page refresh.
Hope this helps a bit.

How to implement an independent static stub client ? Please, help

Hi everybody!
I'm using the jwsdp1.2 and i got the static stub tutorial client to test my webservice. It works fine! However, i tried to compile the client code separately and it didn't worked. The jvm can't find the webservice class. So, the questions are:
- How to implement an independent static stub whithout the ant help?
- How can the client get the endpoint to create the proxy?
- Must I use any javax.xml.rpc interface (call or service maybe) to do the job?
- Could anybody show me some sample code?
Well, that's it. I'm waiting for some answer. Please, help me.
Tks in advance,
Rodrigo.

Can you explain what you mean by "independent static stub" ?
JWSDP Tutorial explains all the steps required to create a static stubs client and invoke the service. In addition, https://jax-rpc.dev.java.net/whitepaper/1.1/index-part2.html#Scenario2 explains the detailed steps to achieve the same from command line.

How to do please wait

I have a site that access our mainframe tables to compare data that the user enters on our page. When the user hits submit, sometimes there may be a delay to access these mainframe tables of 10 sec. or possibly more depending on traffic. When the user hits submit, how could I show a please wait message/animated image until the response comes back from our mainframe?
Thanks!!!

When my phone rings it goes straight to please wait while your party is reached. how do i get rid of that message?

when my phone rings it goes straight to please wait while your party is reached. how do i get rid of that message?

do you mean like when someone calls you, that's what they hear? if that's the case, it may be a ringback tone or feature. i've heard the message that you are describing a few times when i have called people (as opposed to hearing the ringing sound), but i honestly don't know much about it. all i can figure is that it's a "ringback" tone or feature.

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Log out and log back in.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
          Caches/com.apple.Messages
          Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
          Containers/com.apple.iChat
          Containers/com.apple.soagent
          IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
Step 3
Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
          Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
Step 4
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
          com.apple.iChat
          com.apple.ids
          com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
          com.apple.imessage
          com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

How do i reverse a download? the little center is turning & it says "loading, please wait". it's been doing this for several hours & I don't know how to stop it.

I was downloading add ons; i let it wait until i left the site to load, but it's been running & showing the center spinning & "loading, please wait; it's been doing this for several hours & i don't know to stop or disable it

There is a rectangular white box between the top & bottom of the screen with no buttons on it. The wheel turns with 'loading, please wait'. There is a little arrow on the upper left with 2 green & gold 'men'. When I click on it this message shows up on the screen "Please accept the Terms of Service first (Add a social network). The only way I can get the wheel to quit turning is to go to 'tools' & click on options & it stops turnning. I already had a yahoo, facebook & twitter accounts, so I don't know what to do.
I've checked in my Control Panel & there is nothing with Firefox in there. If I can't resolve this can someone tell me to how to unload all of this & start over.
Thanks.

OT: How can I manage a "Please Wait" message with this scenario?

I have a page which allows you to paste in a potentially
large list of zip
codes.
When you submit this page, the list is de-duped, and then
checked against a
table of ~22,000 zips for matches.
Where and how in this process could I bring up a "Please
Wait" message while
the transaction is being completed?

Ew. Double ew.
I'm going to let it ride as is, until someone complains.
Thanks for the
neurons, though. Do you need them back? Or I should say, "you
DO need them
back"!
