How To Modify Privileges For APEX Objects Granted To PUBLIC?

I have searched this forum but couldn't any threads relating to this...
We have APEX 3.0.1 installed in some 10g (10.2.0.2) databases that host GIS data. I was informed by a GIS administrator that when using ESRI tool to search for data, the objects that belongs to FLOWS_030000 schema and ones that were granted to PUBLIC are shown. He would like to know if there is a way to hide these objects so they don't show up on the list? There are about 176 objects granted to public from the flows_030000 schema.
Could we establish a different security scheme that could accomplish the same thing? Maybe we need to create a new account and a role. Grant all of the privileges for flows_030000 to public to the new role. Then grant the role to the new account and the flow_files schema?
Our goal here is to make the flows_030000 objects hidden from the ESRI tools and still have APEX working properly.

If you look at the grants, you'll see that there are over 170 objects from the FLOWS_030000 granted to PUBLIC:
SQL> select count(*) from dba_tab_privs where owner= 'FLOWS_030000' and grantee = 'PUBLIC';
173
If we were go grant these privileges to a role, called APEX_APP_RU, and grant this role to APEX_PUBLIC_USER and any schemas an application is linked to (Workspace to Schema), would that be a workable solution?
The only problem I see right off hand that this might not work is that PUBLIC has synonyms created for the FLOWS_030000 objects. If we revoke the underlying privileges, because of the synonyms, this might not work.
SQL> select COUNT(*) from dba_synonyms where table_owner = 'FLOWS_030000' and owner = 'PUBLIC';
176
Does anyone else have any ideas?

How to use dbms_metadata to get object grants for an OBJECT?

Hi guys. I've already searched around for DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL but couldn't really find what i'm looking for.
The regular use-case for the procedure is to find all grants given to a specific user. What if I wanted to find out what grants were related to a table? I only saw grant-related queries like the following:
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('ROLE_GRANT','SYS') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('SYSTEM_GRANT','SYS') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('OBJECT_GRANT','SYS') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('TABLESPACE_QUOTA','SYS') FROM DUAL;I already have the SQL query to find this sort of stuff out:
-- get rights granted to PUBLIC on a certain PL/SQL package (ie. DBMS_JAVA)
set pagesize 9999 linesize 100
col grantee format a20
col owner format a8
col table_name format a30
col grantor format a8
col privilege format a10
col hierarchy format a3
select unique grantee
     ,tp.owner
     ,table_name
     ,grantor
     ,privilege
     ,grantable
     ,hierarchy
from dba_tab_privs tp
left join dba_objects o on tp.owner=o.owner AND tp.table_name=o.object_name
where table_name in ('ABC','DEF','GHI'); ... but I was hoping to recreate the metadata instead. Thanks!

HOW TO: set anchoredObjectSettings for .palce() object?

Hi, I'm currently working on interesting script for GREP placing, and I'm wondering how I can set anchoredObjectSettings for .palce() object?
for(i=0; i < found.length; i++)
 foundElem = new File (myFolder + "/" + found[i].contents);
 found[i].place(foundElem); // Placing Ancored Object
 // HERE IS WHERE I NEED SOME HELP: how to set "anchoredObjectSettings" for just placed Ancored Object
 //anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ABOVE_LINE;
 //anchoredObjectSettings.horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.TEXT_ALIGN;
Here you can download example files - script, InDesign file and images, that should be placed into InDesign file with script
Dropbox - GREP placing.zip
PS: I believe this script will be very useful, so if anybody have any ideas/suggestions, and want to help me with further development - this would be great!

Hi Kai, this script is still under development, here is updated version attached (now it can also place files/images by file name only, without extension):
#target indesign;
//#include "! Basic functions.jsx"
 GREP place files.
 This script will ask to select source folder with files to place,
 and then, with dialog box (or prompt) [this is not implemented yet, so I use static GREP value while developing]
 will ask to type GREP find expresion to search for text placeholder, that need to be replaced with file from source folder we just selected.
 TODO: Check how it works with other than image formats
 Also, this might be usefull to make anchored frame with column widh, and fit image proportionally

Top part with Windows/Mac filtering was copy-pasted from default InDeign script "ImageCatalog.jsx" as example and modified - I'm not sure if all this stuff is needed, I haven't test if it works the same without those filtering on both OS - if that's not needed - then thanks for tip!
PS: in your findWhat \l{3,4} will not catch .ai files
and what means .source at the end? is that doing necessary escaping, so with it it's posible to write \l instead of \\l

How do I compensate for display objects jumping when screen scaling

I am building an application that is to run at 2 difference stage sizes. 960x640 and 1024x768 (for those paying attention, you may note that those are the high res settings for the iPhone and iPad2)
The app was designed and build to run on a stage of 960x640 and when running at this size, there are no problems.
When the app loads in the 1024x768 window, it "strechs" the stage to fill the window, but keeps the aspect ratio. Everything looks good and the application runs without any problems expect for one thing.
Sometimes, display objects on the stage "jitter" when moving or animating. I have discovered that this is because the stage is "scaling" the x and y values, and is not pixel snapping the objects on the screen, even though the x and y values of the display object are indeed whole numbers.
A prime example of this is I have 2 bitmapData images. bmData_s and bmData_h.
bmData_s is 192x388 in size.
bmData_h is created from a copy of bmData_s with a glow filter stroke on it, resulting in a image that is 198x394 (6 pixels bigger due to a 3 pixel stroke)
I place it on the screen using the following code:
(Background is a bitmap object that is 960x480 and places at 0,0)
(ObjOffset is a point in my app data to position the object, it's a point set to 53,195)
MyObj.x = Background.x + ObjOffset.x + (bmData_s.width/2);
MyObj.y = Background.y + ObjOffset.y + (bmData_s.height/2);
now, when the mouse rolls over the object, I have an event listener to change MyObj.bitmapData to bmData_h
MyObj.bitmapData = bmData_h;
MyObj.x = Background.x + ObjOffset.x + Math.floor(bmData_h.width/2);
MyObj.y = Background.y + ObjOffset.y + Math.floor(bmData_h.height/2);
and back to the _s image on mouse out.
Now, when the app runs on the iPhone which is a 960x640 screen size, or on the PC which is using a window of similiar size, the image doesn't appear to move at all... the "stroke" appears and disappears exactly as it is suppose to
However, when I run it in a window that is 1024x768, the _h image appears to "jump" one pixel up.
I have encountered many other similiar things that only occure when the stage is scaled. There is a spot in the app where I am animating a bitmap by manipulating it's scrollrect x and width (have it's do a wipe in from right to left like a peice of paper unrolling on a table) and due to the scaling, the right edge of the image jumps left and right 1 pixel... but on 960x640 screens, it looks perfect.
Does anyone know how I can compensate for this effect so that this jumping doesn't occur when the stage is stretched to fit the window it's running in?

Sounds like a x-browser rendering problem
my guess would be to scale down the inner div's so they add up to less than 100%.
If you floated div's and gave them a %, give one of the div's a smaller.
ie: 2 divs floated in a Header, give one 50% and the other 49.5%

How to select data for nested object (Object based on another objects)

I have written the following code, but I am not able to fetch data as I fetch from normal table, Plz help.
Following is the sample code -

A_NAME VARCHAR2 (100),
A_DESC VARCHAR2 (100)

the above SQL not gives me the data in the as a normal table returns, plz suggest me how to write SQL for above case.
Thanks in Advance,

First try to move your obj1 and obj2 initialization outside of the for loop. Not sure if this is even the issue, but it can't be helping.
obj1 := A_TAB();
obj2 := B_TAB();
for i in(SELECT AG_PROD_MOD_NR, COMM_NM FROM BV_PRODUCT WHERE AG_PROD_MOD_NR = 'E4440A')
loop
obj1.extend;
obj1(obj1.last) := A_OBJ(i.AG_PROD_MOD_NR, i.COMM_NM);
obj2.extend;
obj2(obj2.last) := B_OBJ(i.AG_PROD_MOD_NR, i.COMM_NM);
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.last) := H_OBJ(obj1,obj2);
end loop;

How to modify capabilities for the ethernet interfaces in a Solaris 10 x86

Hello.
Does anybody know how to configure the ethernet capabilities in a interface in a X86 server? I have read that NDD command is not supported for this kind of servers and I cannot find how to do that.
My root problem is that the IPMP is not working and my first clue is the configuration for cap_pause parameter in the involved interfaces, that they are active for both IPMP interfaces.
How can I modify cap_pause for the interfaces in this server: X4170 with Solaris 10.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Luis.

Not familiar with the X4170 but you might want to look for a config file in /kernel/drv that matches your interface. There are some configuration parameters you can set there if the device driver supports the .conf file.

How to modify formula for the calculated measure in a cube.

Hi,
I need to modify formula for some measures within a cube, What would be the best way do that? In the obj view if I update the formula and compile, it does seem to reflect in the model view.
I cannot delete and recreate the measures deletion and recreation would change the order of the measures which i do not need.
Appreciate your inputs. thanks

Yes thats true it desnt change in the AWM front end if you change the formula in object view but it would show you results according to the new formula.
If you want AWM to show the correct expression in the front end then the way out is to change in the XML and reimport the xml.
Thanks,

Can we check the Objects modifiable " option for standard objects

Dear Friends
In IR , we have imported SRM SERVER->SRM SERVER5.5
Then we have checked the option "Objects are modifiable" then we imported the IDOC from R/3 system under SRM SERVER 5.5 swcv.
Then created the mapping.It is working fime.
how ever i am not sure whether it is right process.Can we check the "Objects are modifiable" for standard compoents delivered by SAP????
Regards
chandra

Hi Jai,
 >>>Can we check the "Objects are modifiable" for standard compoents delivered by SAP????
No. As best practise you are not supposed to do so.
In order to implement any changes in the mapping we can do it rite.
Because recently i have applied one SAP note to my SRM swcv and one of the MM object was changed according to the requirements.
Thanks,
Prasanthi.

How to load text for Z-objects?

Hello Experts!!
I am implementinh HR for BI reports.
Now in some of the Zobjects created for details like bank details(for acoount number etc) i am getting only the key values from the attribute datasource.
How to get the releated text values.
do i need to create a text datasource? How to link the text and attributes , so that we can load text and see it in reporting as well
Thanks
Shilpa

Generally, you dont always need to create a text datasource if it is not relevant. Just uncheck the checkbox "With text" in the InfoObject itself. Otherwise if you need a text datasource, you need to identify the text table in source system or identify the table where the key value (and maybe other attributs) is existing and you can read the text. Then create a generic text datasource (if no standard text datasource is available).
But your question seems to be, how to get more attribute and text in the same ZObject? Just adding attribut objects you need and match them with the attribut datasource. You can also use a charateristic field here for the text field. The text field will be a attribut of that ZOBJECT and you dont need to create an extra text datasource.

How to setup SSL for Business Objects

Dear colleagues,
can you help with the following issue: we want to setup SSL for BO and have dedicted information for the implementation of certificates and know that sapcryptolib needs to be used. But there is no information provided how to inform BO about the location of the sapcryptolib. Can anybody provide a hint for this? Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Detlef Kreiss (HP Outsourcing services)

Detlef,
The SAP Crypto library is not required if you are simply trying to secure the webserver using SSL.
Securing IIS (.NET infoview, or IIS fronting a Java application server) is pretty simple as you would follow the same steps to SSL secure it as you would any IIS server (there is an add certificate button in the properties of IIS).
If you are using a Java Application server solely and want to SSL secure that, there is an SAP note to describe the steps required to add an SSL certificate to the (Tomcat) Java keystore.

How to detect duplicate for custom object 1

Hi expert,
are there any fields in custom object can detect duplicates If These Fields Match?
we thought it should be "Name" but it's not.
Thanks, sab.

Sab, field validation is not going to check for uniqueness of the custom object name. However, you could use field validation to add a value to the custom object name which could make it unique (such as name + rowID or name + created timestamp).

How to design tables for Apex applications?

Hi,
I am learning Apex . I have one question.
Considering normal tables, I have primary key (some single column and some composite) for my tables.
But I learnt that Apex works well when we have primary keys using sequences.
So Should I do the following now.
1) Add a new column to all my tables which gets populated from Apex directly and make that column as primary key
2) Create a sequence to associate each such primary key
3) Make the actual primary keys as Unique keys + Not null constraints
Thank You

Why are you designing your tables o suit the tool? What happenes when you change development products? You SHOULD develop based upon SOUND database design methods. Use of surrogate keys IS a prefered development method, since use of multi-key (Composite) keys is known to be a pain for multiple reasons..
Take this small bit of knowledge.. Design you database properly for an interface and you will NOT have issues..
Thank you,
