HOWTO: Configure JDeveloper for Power Users</h2></center>
<hr WIDTH="100%">
The default JDeveloper installation installs many components, however,
it does not create easily accessible menus and shortcuts that many power
users need.
The common configuration problems that developers often face, but may
not know how to fix include:
<ul>
Quickly Launching JDeveloper</li>
Invoking the JDeveloper Help system (without running JDeveloper)</li>
Adding external tools to JDeveloper's Tools menu</li>
Editing JDeveloper Configuration files</li>
</ul>
This document explains how to perform the above tasks, and hopefully, you
will learn how simple customizing your Windows &; JDeveloper environment
can be.

<h2>
<hr WIDTH="100%"></h2>
<h2>
Detailed Instructions</h2>
1. If you have not previously executed JDeveloper, Run JDeveloper once
and exit.
This creates the initial JDeveloper.ini
2. Create links to JDeveloper's key files.
<blockquote>Right click on the Windows Start menu
Select Explore All Users to launch an Explorer window
We will refer to this as Explorer Window #2 because it has 2 panes
(left &; right)
Note: This directory structure is also used by the Windows Start menu,
thus adding folders here is the same as adding menu items to the Start
menu decedents, Adding folders here is the same as adding sub-menus!
In the right hand pane of Explorer Window #2, double click on Programs.
Double click on the Oracle JDeveloper Folder.
Select menu File | New / Folder to create a new folder.
Name the folder, Customize
Right click on the JDeveloper icon (either one)
Select the Properties menu to launch the JDeveloper
properties dialog,
<blockquote>Switch to the Shortcut Tab.
Copy the path portion of the Target string (exclude JDeveloper.exe)
into the clipboard (Select + Ctrl-C )
Cancel the Properties dialog</blockquote>
Press windows Start | Run... menu
Paste clipboard contents (Ctrl+V) in the open line.
Press OK to create an Explorer window.
We will refer to this as Explorer Window #1 because it has 1 pane.
Note that Explorer Window #1 is focused on your JDeveloper bin
directory.
Next we will create shortcuts to key JDeveloper files which are directly
accessible from your windows start menu.
Situate the two explorer windows so they do not overlap (shrink window
size if necessary)
We will be dragging from Explorer Window #1 to Explorer Window #2.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.ini inside of Customize folder/menu.
In Explorer Window #2, Double click on Customize folder
In Explorer window #1, find and select JDeveloper.ini.
***Important: Right Click
and Drag JDeveloper.ini from Explorer Window #1 and right-drag to Explorer
Window #2 and release the right mouse button in the right pane.
Then a small context menu appears, select the menu item Create
Shortcut(s) Here
This created a shortcut to JDeveloper.ini.
// Create Shortcut to Tools.cfg inside of Customize folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for Tools.cfg
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Navigate to LIB dir
In Explorer Window #1, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon.
Now Double click on the LIB directory Folder.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.properties inside of Customize folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for JDeveloper.properties.
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Create Shortcut to JBO.properties inside of Customize folder/menu.
[Optional] Lets repeat the process for JBO.properties.
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Navigate to DOC dir
In Explorer Window #1, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon.
Now Double click on the Doc directory Folder.
In Explorer Window #2, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon. This places us in the folder where the JDeveloper
shortcut is.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.chm inside of JDeveloper folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for JDeveloper.chm
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Create Quick Launch Shortcut to JDeveloper.
If you do not have the Windows Quick Launch Menu enabled, Right click
on your Task bar, but not on any icons and Select Menu ToolBars | Quick
Launch to display Quick Launch Menu
Now Select JDeveloper from Explorer Window #1 and Right click-drag
to the Quick Launch Area (on windows Task Bar) and choose Create Shortcut(s)
Here.
This creates a Quick Launch icon for launching JDeveloper from the
Quick Launch area.
To verify everything is OK, you can now select the Window Start menu
| Programs | Oracle JDeveloper... and you should see links to all the new
files we just added.
When everything is as you like, close both explorer windows.</blockquote>
3. Enable JDeveloper's output console window
<blockquote>Select Windows Start menu | Programs | Oracle JDeveloper |
JDeveloper.ini
If windows asks you what to use to edit this file choose Write.
Search for LogConsole=0 and change it to LogConsole=1
Save the file and exit the editor.
This Console window is very important for Advanced programmers because
they can see various output including exceptions during their IDE interaction,
Addin processing.</blockquote>
4. Add more tools to JDeveloper's Tools menu
<blockquote>Select Windows Start menu | Programs | Oracle JDeveloper |
Tools.CFG
If windows asks you what to use to edit this file, choose Write.
Add the following lines to the END of your Tools.cfg file.
***Important: Be sure to make
appropriate path changes suitable for your environment.
Note: You may want to add your own favorite tools to this file for
invocation from JDeveloper.

Resources for Power User Training Material

Hi,
I am developing training materials for power user group. Can someone points me to the resources available on the Internet on this?
Thanks!

Hi Fulham,
I did something similar to this a couple of years ago. I found some great material in the SAP Marketplace. Afraid I do not have the links anymore, but there were 2 massive pdf files, one named "BW_Functions in Detail", the other "Business Explorer". Maybe 1/3 of the material was suitable for Power Users (who are mostly interested in getting data out of BW, as opposed to getting data into BW).
Would be happy to chat futher if you like. You can write to me at [email protected] I can offer you insights into what we thought Power Users would do compared to what they actually ended up doing. (Your experience might differ, of course.)

Using different configured views for different user group in crm2007

Hello SAP Expert,
Want to clarify if the BADI (Configuration Access Determination BADI ; BSP_DLC_ACCESS_ENHANCEMENT) is used as design time or Run time. By looking the help of this BADI it says "This Business Add-In (BAdI) is used in the UI Configuration Tool (CRM-FRW-CON) component." Looks like this is at configuration time not at run time.
The actual requirement is that for a set of users which work on a particular department, we want to have some extra information on 2 views and rest of the views they would be using same as entire organization. We are inclined towards using config role rather than zviews. If we were to use zviews then it would not be a difficult one.
We were thinking of a mechanism to show the configured view based on user's Business Role at runtime. e.g. we have 2 roles A and B. Role A user have only 2 views specific to them and all other views they use same as Role B. We do not want to use ZView rather use Role Config Key to distinguish the views. What I was thinking that we should be able to create these 2 views with Config Role A and all views (including these 2) with Config Role B. On Business Role A and Business Role B both, We will assign Config Role "B". but at runtime system should determine if the Business Role is A and Component is CMP1 then use the view V1 with Config Role A not the default view with config role B. (we can maintain that information in a Z table). This is not based on runtime profile but to use configured view at runtime.
Any thoughts/ help really appreciated.
Best regards,

Hi Amithab,
you can use badi CRM_BP_UIU_VIEW_CONFIG of enhancement spot CRM_UIU_BP_ENHANCEMENT for your requirements. Please read the badi documentation because you need also a implementation of badi CRM_BP_UIU_CONFIG_CALLBACK (same spot). SAP considers badi CRM_BP_UIU_VIEW_CONFIG only for use at dynamically loading different configuartions of view details for business partners or contact persons at runtime. But you can use your badi implementation also for other views. You have to redefine method DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION in your views. And call your badi from there. For this copy&paste the logic of DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION of bp details to the views you have to load dynamically at runtime.
We have used this approach for access controll and granting special access to views dependent on different employee functions.
Best regards
Michael

Added additional user. How do I configure password for this user?

Have two different accounts. Second accound added but don't understand how to cinfigure password for this account.

A bit confused by your query, so can you clarify a few points.
re: added additional user
You do not add additional users to Thunderbird, so I presume you mean you have tried to create another mail account for someone else in your own profile.
You do not configure passwords for other peoples email addresses as that would be a privacy issue and only they should do it.
Lets start at the begining.
If more than one person is using a computer, they should have their own User Account which they access via a password they choose. This gives them their own desktop view and access to programs installed on computer, such as Thunderbird.
Thunderbird will be available for them to use.
When you run it for the first time in their User Account, it will create a Profile in their User Account.
Thunderbird will also then ask you to create a mail account in that Profile.
The details you enter will ask for Name. email address and a password.
That password is the same password they use to access their email in their webmail account using a browser, so only they should know that password and they should not divulge it to anyone - however in some cases, eg: spouses, they may know each others password.
You can choose whether Thunderbird remembers the password or not before creating the account, but the password would still be required to configure the mail account.
This method means that no one can see that persons emails nor access their password details because they do not know the password to the computer User Account.
If you have only the one admin User Account which several people use, then anyone has access to anything on that computer. This may be fine if eg; spouses share the computer, but it is not a practise that should be used in any other environment.
If you have mail accounts created in the same Thunderbird profile, then all mail and passwords are freely available for anyone to see and this may not be desired.
Some people use only the one User Account, but they have their own Profile created in Thunderbird.
When Thunderbird was initially run, it created a defult Profile, but you can add additional Profiles using the Profile Manager.
The mail account is created in that Profile and then they can apply a Master Password in Thunderbird.
This means that anyone can still see anyone's emails as on startup as anyone can select any Profile.
But, the access to passwords is locked and removal of Master Password will remove all stored paswords to safe guard privacy.
Some info on Master Passwords:

Some info on creating additional Profiles using Profile Manager:

Will the new iTunes 11 still work for power users?

I've looked at the available screenshots, and I'm worried.
On the new iTunes page, Apple says, "Simplicity is a beautiful thing" — but I'm not so sure. I don't see any conventional list views, and I'm very worried that in simplifying it, they've sacrificed the control that so many music lovers like myself have come to rely on.
Here's Apple's info:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/
Anyone have additional insight?

Limnos wrote:
1) iTunes is free software. As such it isn't targeted at the "power user" nor does Apple have a specific committment to produce a certain style product.
I disagree. Apple has added many, many features to iTunes over the years that target the power user. From smart playlists, to obscure things like ID3 tag version control. Power users features are sprinkled throughout iTunes. And to say that Apple doesn't have a "specific committment to produce a certain style product" is true, but also fairly obvious/meaningless.
2) iTunes' developments over the past decade have largely been in the marketing facet. As for basic music playing not much has changed since it was developed from Soundjam. What has changed a lot is the introduction of the iTunes Store and interfacing with mobile devices.
Basic music playing has changed a LOT. You couldn't even rate your tracks in the beginning.
3) Apple is a for-profit corporation. We might like to remember them as the little-computer-that-could taking on the big corporations, but frankly they aren't that anymore. They have a responsibility to their shareholders to do whatever it takes to maximize profit. We don't really know what the October iTunes looks like (much) but if they decide to dumb it down so it is easier for people primarily interested in using iPhones to use then from a marketing perspective can't blame them. We might not like it and might yearn for the the days when Apple really was computers, but those days are gone.
This is simplified to point of meaninglessness. There's an interaction between customers and product design teams. It may not be obvious from the outside, but there's still a give & take. What you're saying is in essence is, "Shut up and accept whatever happens," which is not a rational approach.
4) If Apple decided iTunes wasn't in their interest they would drop it in a flash. Where's iDVD? iDVD was something people were willing to pay for. They still would, but Apple isn't selling it anymore even though it is clear people in general have not given up on DVDs.
iDVD is not a good comparison, because of the vastly different switching costs. I used iDVD, but was fairly unaffected by its slow demise.

BEx Analyzer for Power Users

Hi
My Power users have been given access to design their queries in Bex Designer and publish via the web.
For no reason, they don't have access to run their queries via Bex Analyzer. I am trying to push for them to have access to Bex Analyzer but I need some concrete reasons for them to be able to have this. I have always been a fan of being able to develop in BEx and immediately view in BEx
Can anyone think of advantages or reasons why the Power Users should view in Bex Analyzer?

The BEx Analyzer would give the users the power of BW and with it the power of XL. This could be a very good option when one is faced with a very rigid formatting requirement. One can use the BEx/workbook combination to design a formatted report which could otherwise have not been possible with the web. Of course some formatting features are as I understand are provided with the new report designer in NW04s, but XL could still be powerful for this.
Some developments in BW could be avoided if we use XL like when you have to manipulate data from multiple areas and queries. For instance, you could have a sales query, a Finance query and even a purchasing query in a workbook and do some calculations with the data. If you were to do it in the QAD, you might have to have created a multicube with all the above and then write a query.
In addition to that one can use the macro feature of xl and carry out further formatting/analysing/processing of the data

How do you configure Firefox for all users on a machine?

I want to
1. Take my existing set-up of Firefox
a. with all bookmarks
b. with all my chosen options
c. with my default start-up home page
d. bypass all the initial Firefox startup screen and "make this your default screen"
2. Have it be the base set-up for all users that log into a machine on our domain.
Is there a config file? Where do I place this config file so when all open their firefox it takes the above settings. I am creating a base image using VMware and will want this set-up so when a user log in with their logon credentials and open Firefox, it already has the above mentioned settings in place.

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Configure jdeveloper for older jdk version

Can anyone help me knowing how to configure jdeveloper11g for jdk1.4 version

Assuming that you want to target an application/project for JDK 1.4 (note that ADF won't work this way):
1). Tools->Manage Libraries-> click the Java SE Definitions tab and create a new one.
2). Double-click your project -> click Libraries section and change the Java SE to point to the one you defined.

Hi All
I am doing user provisioning of SUN IDM to SUN LDAP. But In LDAP i am storing unix user. When you create any user in LDAP for UNIX then you have to specify UID, GID ,Home directory.
Same thing i m try to create user in LDAP for unix through SUN IDM.
But I am not able to enable checked box for unix user in posix user information.
By default this check box is disable. we have to enable manually this check box if u want to create a user for unix in LDAP.
I want to change this check box disable to enable by default.
it is very urgent.
I am not getting any doc related doc or other thing.
thanks
SAini

We have so few customers using ADAM now that LDAP to AD is supported I forgot this. However to note: this means managing an entire new directory separate from your multiple AD forests.

How can I configure EP for when user couldn't logon on if a session exists?

Hi everybody
I need configure on SAP EP this condition, but I don't know how can I do it?
1. User 1, logon to SAP EP on computer 1.
2. Then the user changes the ubication, then the user try to logon on computer 2, when he try to log on SAP EP. It returns and error because, a session of logon is on.
Note: SAP EP can't permit, that any user can logon for more two times on server.

I don't think you can quiet achive that. Reason being portal is a stateless. That means when you make initial request to portal, make a logon and then land at the page having some roles, navigation menus, content area etc all it store is a cookie. It neither store any information of who has just logged on nor who navigated from Role A to Role B.
When you navigate through TLN or call an iView, portal consider it as a new request. This time too portal does not know who has made a request. Now the question is how does it know if a specific iView is to be displayed as it is assigned to you or not? This is done using a cookie named saplogon ticket. When you make a request inside portal, all it have is this cookie and no information of who you are? So it just checks the cookie for the authorization and OKs the request and hence you get access to iView or a role or whatever.
Now coming back to your scenario, when user has already logged on from computer 1, say saplogon ticket1 is created and is used for further navigation and authnetication. However, when you try to logon from computer 2, your portal session does not have any information about saplogon ticket1, instead it generates its own cookie say saplogon ticket2.
That means, portal cannot retain the state of the earlier request made by you from computer 1.
I hope this clears your question.

Lets talk systems requirements for power users

Ok so... I've been a Logic/Emagic user since Creator for the Atari ST. I find the latest version to be a power hungry beast. I can only get a few tracks working with my G4 powerbook before core audio runs out of resources. In my last attempt I could get only THREE tracks. I had a drum loop, a preset EP EVP88 sound with effects, and a bass track. When I wanted to record a saxophone, I ran out of gas.
So I want to upgrade without mortgaging the farm. I could easy find myself tracking 20+ channels of audio and instruments. All with EQ and effect settings. I use Logic as a composition tool as much as recording medium. I don't want stop the creative process to have to bounce tracks around in order to get more usage.
So what kind of "box" do I need. Is a quad G5 with a ton of ram the only thing that will keep the beast (aka Logic) fat and happy? Please talk about what kind of capabilities you're able to get out of your set up.
G4 12 inch Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
G4 12 inch Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)
G4 12 inch Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I'm sorry for my rant in my last post, but I was pretty TO'd. I wasn't using any plugins with this latest attempt. The tracks consisted of one stereo, one mono, one MIDI track. It was when I tried recording another mono track, the core audio crapped out.
Lets get into the details. Here's my set up;
12 inch Powerbook G4 1.5 GHz
Latest OSX & Logic upgrades
PreSonus Firebox using S/PDIF input
1.25g RAM
Maxtor 300g firewire drive
The main drive is about 2/3rds full. The external is only 10% full since I can't enough tracks in it! What I can't understand is the Logic system resource monitor shows I should have plenty of both disk I/O speed and CPU load to work with. There has to be something else going on here. I've had issues setting up the S/PDIF with the Firebox. I use a Focusrite Voicemaster pro as my pre-amp. Maybe the digital audio is not syncing??? I'll have to test this using the non-digital inputs. There's only one firewire plug on the Powerbook. Could the daisy chaining I'm doing with the Firebox and the Maxtor be causing the slowdown???
I don't think I'm going upgrade if I can't get this working. In fact, I'm going to downgrade back my EMac running Logic 5 big box in OS 9. It's not as many plugins, but I could track up to about 12 channels. Even more when using MOTU software.
Thanks for the replies,
Tim

Howto configure Timeout for database link

Hi,
how can I configure the expected timeout for a db link connection?
My problem is, that I've to get data from a far distance database and the network connection is not very good.
Sometimes it works pretty good, but often I get a not reachable error. Monitoring the server with ping shows, that the server is always alive, but the roundtrip time is high ( >200 ms).
System: Oracle 9.2.0.5
Linux (RedHat)
Thanks for help
Stephan

Well since db links just use the underlying SQL*Net configuration, what you're actually looking for is timeout settings for SQL*Net, there are two:
In the listener.ora file on the server:
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_<listener_name> = n seconds
Determines the limit the database listener will wait for a client connection to complete after the connection is made.
In the sqlnet.ora file on the server:
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = n minutes
Determines the limit for the frequency of active connection verification of a client connection.
If the problem is you're getting disconnected because of network timeouts, it could be here or something in your LAN network settings.

Average usage for power users?

Hello All,
Me and my wife recently relocated to a rural location were the broadband infrastructure is slim to say the lease however we get really good reception with Verizon. However I am having difficulty selecting a shared data plan that will support our usage, browsing, gaming etc. I understand coming from a cable broadband connection were data really wasn't an issue this is going to be quite different. So my question is on average how much data are you guys typically using for those who have a situation similar to mine? Thanks!

I share a 10GB data plan between my phone and a Jetpack. I've never gone over that, but I keep close track of my usage. My usage is mostly web browsing and music streaming (Sirius, Pandora). On most of my Youtube videos I use 480p with an occasional splurge of 720p. If I want to watch something that uses a lot of data like Netflix or Hulu, I'll switch to wi-fi.
