IPM 11g Picklist based on database lookup

Is there a way with IPM 11g to create a picklist based on a database lookup? If so how?

Updated/suggestion from Oracle for others who maybe looking for this:
Create a utility that modifies the Application definition using the standard IPM Java or web services SDK. The JavaDoc is located here: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e12853/toc.htm]
Using the SDK you would:
-     Use the LoginService to log into IPM
-     Use the ApplicationService interface getApplication to retrieve the application you want to modify
-     Use the Application object to getFieldDefinitions
-     Use getPickList for the field you want to modify
-     Add/modify the PickList object as needed
-     Use the ApplicationService to modifyApplication

Oracle Service Bus 11g ... caching the database lookup

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I create a OSB service.
The OSB Service, on every request, performs look up from the database to get saved properties from the table.
These properties in the database table get changed from time to time through an User Interface.
Now I want to minimize database lookup from the OSB and hence trying to arrive to a solution, where the properties are looked up and cached in memory initially. And OSB serves each request by looking up cached information. And on an event when the user changes the properties through the user interface, the properties are looked up and re-cached in memory.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Regards,
Srini

Hi Srini,
You may leverage the service result caching feature of OSB 11g. For more detail, please refer -

Database Lookup in Adobe Reader

I have an Adobe document that performs a database lookup based on a value keyed into document. It works fine in LiveCycle and Acrobat, but does not work in Reader. From what I've read it looks like I need 'Reader Extensions'. How and where do get this feature?
Thanks,
Scott

I finally got a reply from our special government software company that has a special team that deals with Adobe. Adobe never has given me a price straight out. The company that sells the Reader Extensions is called 4Point, I don't even think you can buy it from Adobe straight out. If you contact them they will talk to you, they are very helpful. If you continue to contact Adobe, they will circle around the issue, sending you from one phone number to another until you are sick of trying and give up. You are right, they have THE WORST customer service of any software company we use. Careful though, for the privilege of being able to do just a few things here and there you will pay around $200,000 because you have to buy the Reader Extension server. Otherwise you have to license each form separately for the privilege of allowing more than 500 users to fill them out, and that is not a joke. It is not worth the money in my opinion as we are just trying to be able to print bar codes on paper so we can scan them and apparently we can do it if each of our users has Adobe Standard which costs around $80 a person. Much cheaper, just not able to use my forms for the public. We will just use another product for that. Good luck with your issues!
If Adobe had told me that I needed to contact 4Point at the beginning of December it would have saved me 2 MONTHS of frustration. If I ever need software for something and Adobe is one of the choices they will not be on the top of my list because Customer Service is so important. We were considering their System for our Education and training system, but at this point I have taken them off our list for possible solutions for that.

ODC sampe database lookup script

I am looking for sample code for Oracle Document Capture 10gR3 (10.1.3.5)for doing a database lookup. We have several fields that need lookups from different databases so we can't use the OoTB database lookup. For example we pull employee information (based on EMP#, pulls First/last name, DOB, etc) and non employee information from another (example based on an auth# pull medical exam date, dr, etc).
thx

I need the same please...

Raising exceptions in database lookups in message mapping

Hi
We have been able to successfully do a database lookup from within a message mapping - thanks to weblogs already existing out there. However, we have requirement that states that - if the lookup fails ( failure to connect to DB / data retrieved is null ) , then the mapping should fail - and an exception raised.
How can we go about doing this from within the java code - of the mapping lookup ?
Any correct pointers /solutions to achieve this will be rewarded rightaway. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi,
you can use Alessandro's way:

"Providing interactive database lookup from forms" sample doesn't work with Acrobat Reader 7

I have downloaded and tested the Adobe sample "Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, Providing interactive database lookup from forms". Everything works great in Acrobat Professional Full version, however, when I tested it in Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, it generated a "script failed..." message.
Did anybody have the same problem? You can download the sample from here:

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Jie,
Database connectivity is a feature supported in Acrobat only , not Reader--unless the PDF has been extended with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.

Ian.

Dynamic Selection Screen based on database seletion

Hi, Gurus:
I just have simple selection screen with a few radio buttons
However, I would like the radio button show up based on database table criterias:
e.g. if there is no data in table1, the radio button 1 will not showing up.
I have used "SELECT * from table..." and check the return value sy-subrc, if it is not equals 4 (4 means no data in the table), then I put the radio button clause there.
however, it does not work this way.
Thanks in advance
Liang

Hi,
This is a duplicate thread, similar kind of thread is already available .....
with the subject : Dynamic calling of radiobuttons
anyways,
possibly you can think of two ways,
say at the maximum the entry in the database table goes to 20 records and you know that it will not go more than that,
then you can create 20 radiobuttons and using at selection-screen output events hide radiobuttons based on the records present.
say only 4 records are present.
so hide 16 radiobuttons and display only 4 of them.
the other way.
say if there can be n number of records and you dont know the maximum number it can reach then
in the initialization event.
create a report at runtime with the parameter statement as radiobutton .
and then call that report in initialization event itself. this will display the dynamically created radiobutton.

Siddarth

Reward points for Helpfull Answers.

Hi,
The "DB-SYSTEM-NAME" is nothing but the business service which is defined for that database in your Integration directory. In this business service only you have to define ur jdbc communication channel. So by giving the details of BS and CC you will get the DB connectivity during runtime.
Cheers!!

RFC lookup Vs Database lookup

Dear experts,
When it comes to PI mappings which one is resource or time intensive between RFC lookup Vs Database lookup where the table is hosted in PI itself. I really looking for this comparision in PI 7.1. If anybody looked to compare the pros & cons of using RFC lookup Vs datbase lookup where the table is hosted in PI itself.
Thanks,
-Bharath

I have no data to prove my allegation, but I would expect JDBC to be slower, because you need a separate driver to make the connection to the database, perform the query. The RFC adapter doesn't need that, plus it already has the connection to the SAP system, so you only need to perform the query.
Steps for JDBC:
1. call JDBC driver
2. logon to DB
3. perform query
4. return result
Steps for RFC:
1. perform query
2. return result

Do I need VXML Port Licenses for CVP Database Lookup.

Hi,
Please let me know that whether VXML Port Licenses are required for CVP Database Lookup.
I am using CVP just for prompt playing in my scenario,
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Manish

[email protected],To make database integration with your IVR, you have different alternatives :1- Use the 'DB Lookup' node ICM scripting node for simple SELECT transactions on SQL Server databases2- Use an 'Application Gateway' component with ICM scripting for more complex database operations on different type of databases. Application Gateway is a software component developed by Cisco partners to make ICM scripts interact with different databases.3- Use VXML scripts. VXML scripts can connect and interact with any kind of databse using the JNDI protocol. You will need a VXML Studio license (to develop the VXML applications) and a CVP Server for VXML Servers (you need to deploy VXML servers on which you will deploy your VXML applications)Hope this will help.
Good summary. If I can comment ....
1. DBLookup is so restrictive it is not typically useful for looking up ANIs in a customer DB. It is useful for other things to do with routing - say a DNIS lookup to control some aspect of routing. Look up the restrictions on DBLookup if you don't believe me.
2. This may be an expensive proposition. Unless you have in-house experience with something like a CTI all events bridge and the ability to code to the required heartbeat interface, you will find building an app gateway tricky. You also need to be in the Cisco Developer's Program ($25k). I have colleagues write app gateways in C++ and VB.NET, so it's possible - just not trvial. For a huge load, this may be the only suitable method, however.
3. This is the way to go. JNDI is NOT a protocol - it is a naming standard. The protocol that the client (your application running under Tomcat) uses to talk to the server (the database out there) is defined by the library - the JAR file - you hook into it in VXMLServer\lib\endorsed. Through the JNDI specification in Tomcat\conf\server.xml you indicate the host, user name, password and client library that the system needs. Tomcat uses connection pooling to manipulate a pool of connections (threads) giving a more efficient database query system.
You can then add an additional sepcification through context.xml that allows you to use the JNDI spec in your VXML Database Element.
If you like coding in Java, you can write a Custom Action Element to use the JNDI (and therefore connection pooling), making your query and manipulating the result. This is the way I do it because I'm a competent programmer. Most will use the Database Element.
Finally, you could write a Java Custom Action Element that does not use the JNDI at all, but given the server, user, password and database through the settings, opens a connection, runs the query, and closes the connection.

Geoff

Database lookup simplify

I have a map with a database lookup functoid and it works perfect on my test map.
The map is simple. Make a DB lookup on a item number and get all the attribute return. Each row is uniq so it always hit one row at the time.
Problem is not getting the data, problem is when I have like 10000 rows it takes up to 9 hours to get done. Is there any way to just make one DB lookup and get the value out I need for each line ?

The DB Lookup gets all the elements in ONE call, it is the Value Extraction component that executes multiple times on the same record set to get you the values. Also for 10000 records I guess you're not de-batching the message.
From the map I could comprehend that this is an enrichment where you're getting the product details associated with the item. As an alternate design, you could NOT do this in a MAP. A Faster way would be to create a Business Rule with the associated data
as DB Fact. You would use the MAP but use it to create the place holder nodes and then run it through the BRE which would populate the data into the result. BRE Caches the DB Facts (you could change this to Long Term or Short Term facts). This can then be
the first step in your orchestration OR you could write a custom disassembler component and do the same through a pipeline component. If you're not de-batching then running a 10000 record loop through BRE in orchestration would be faster.

IPM 11g case insensitive searching

Is it possible in IPM 11g (11.1.1.5) to do an case insensitive search?
For example, setting the operator to Begins with and enter "And" would return Anderson, Andersons, and Andreeson. But if searching on "and" we get nothing. I would like to be able to search 'and' and return Anderson, Andersons, Andreeson, apple, a-team, etc.

FYI... Oracle has confirmed that IPM is case SENSITIVE only. Maybe a feature patch or 12g will address this.

Can Grid control 11g monitor Oracle 9i database? This is on Linux5.7
Thanks for the help

Yes but Enterprise Manager 11.1 Grid Control requires the 11.1 Agent.
Then go to the Targets tab, then Databases. It should self-discover the 9i database.
