Is it possible to pass some type of parameter/unique id FROM PDF?

hi there,
I will try to explain this as best as I can but please bear with me.
I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
We have drawings linked to each other in pdf.
When you open a drawing (say, a layout of a house), my boss wants to be able to click on say, a door, and have all the information on that door pop up (size, manufacturer, when it was shipped, etc). The information log is stored in Excel. I know how to hyperlink to open an excel file FROM pdf, but cannot figure out how to open a specific sheet in Excel. So here is my question:
1. How do I link to a specific sheet in Excel so it opens when I click on a link in the pdf file?
Having said that, we are going to have around 1500 items and I don't want to have to create 1500 sheets (if that's even possible) to open the details for each one. So here is question #2:
2. Is it possible to pass some type of parameter to excel (or even Access) to know what item was clicked on the pdf file so I can write a macro/code in Excel to just fill in the details for that item? (Hence just needing one sheet instead of 1500?).
Suggestions/path forwards are welcome.
I hope this was clear and I thank you in advance.
Thanks,
Jessica

There really isn't a way to do that. It would be possible to export an Excel sheet to a tab-delimited (or CSV, XML) file which could optionally be attached to the PDF. JavaScript inside the PDF could read the data file and extract the information for an item so it could be displayed somehow.

Is it possible to show some type of busy/waiting indicator in OAF?

I have a submit button on an OAF page that invokes a procedure in my AM that may take several seconds to complete.
I would like to display some type of indicator to the end user that the application is busy while the AM method is being executed. I'd like to prevent users from clicking the submit button multiple times.
Is anyone aware of mechanisms provided as part of the framework to do this, such as displaying a hourglass icon or disabling the submit button while the AM method is being executed?
Kind Regards,
Jeremy

Hi,
Follow the below article to prevent the users from clicking the submit button multiple times.

Is possible to pass array/list as parameter in TopLink StoredProcedureCall?

Hi, We need to pass an array/List/Vector of values (each value is a 10 character string) into TopLink's StoredProcedureCall. The maximum number of elements on the list is 3,000 (3,000 * 10 = 30,000 characters).
This exposed two questions:
1. Is it possible to pass a Vector as a parameter in TopLink's StoredProcedureCall, such as
StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall();
call.setProcedureName("STORED_PROCEDURE_NAME");
call.addNamedArgument("PERSON_CODE");
Vector strVect = new Vector(3000);
strVect.add(“ab-gthhjko”);
strVect.add(“cd-gthhjko”);
strVect.add(“ef-gthhjko”);
Vector parameters = new Vector();
parameters.addElement(strVect);
session.executeQuery(query,parameters);
2. If the answer on previous question is yes:
- How this parameter has to be defined in Oracle’s Stored Procedure?
- What is the maximum number of elements/bytes that can be passed into the vector?
The best way that we have found so far was to use single string as a parameter. The individual values would be delimited by comma, such as "ab-gthhjko,cd-gthhjko,ef-gthhjko..."
However, in this case concern is the size that can be 3,000 * 11 = 33, 000 characters. The maximum size of VARCHAR2 is 4000, so we would need to break calls in chunks (max 9 chunks).
Is there any other/more optimal way to do this?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
No, you cannot currently pass a vector of objects as a parameter to a stored procedure. JDBC will not take a vector as an argument unless you want it to serialize it (ie a blob) .
The Oracle database though does have support for struct types and varray types. So you could define a stored procedure to take a VARRAY of strings/varchar, and use that stored procedure through TopLink. For instance:
StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall();
call.setProcedureName("STORED_PROCEDURE_NAME");
call.addNamedArgument("PERSON_CODE");
oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor descriptor = new oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor("ARRAYTYPE_NAME", dbconnection);
oracle.sql.ARRAY dbarray = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(descriptor, dbconnection, dataArray);
Vector parameters = new Vector();
parameters.addElement(dbarray);
session.executeQuery(query,parameters);This will work for any values as long as you are not going to pass in null as a value as the driver can determine the type from the object.
dataArray is an Object array consisting of your String objects.
For output or inoutput parameters you need to set the type and typename as well:
sqlcall.addUnamedInOutputArgument("PERSON_CODE", "PERSON_CODE", Types.ARRAY, "ARRAYTYPE_NAME"); which will take a VARRAY and return a VARRAY type object.
The next major release of TopLink will support taking in a vector of strings and performing the conversion to a VARRAY for you, as well as returning a vector instead of a VARRAY for out arguments.
Check out thread

showing an example on how to get the conection to create the varray, as well as
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/jdbc/varray/index.html on using Varrays in Oracle, though I'm sure the database docs might have more information.

Is it possible to retrict some type of error message in SMQR transaction

Hi experts,
I have a requirement when I use EOIO queue from the HTTP adapter (URL) to post the RFC requests and i need to automatically retry the posting of errored entries in the queue and i could find the web logs that SQMR is the transaction used for automatic retry and also the program RSQIWKEX is can be scheduled to try the reposting of the queue. Now i dont want to repost all the error messages( some thing related to application failure in R/3 needs changing of data ), so it is possible to retrict those transactions from re post ?. Or we need to cutomize this program RSQIWKEX in R/3 to get this job accomplished.
Quick response would be highly helpful.. THanks in advance.

Rajesh Kumar T

very specific to smqr , yes, u need to go for customization.

Event SM62 - Is it possible to pass some parameters ?

Hello,
with SM62 transaction is possible to create an event.
there's the possibility to manage the parameters ?
I mean, I call the event X for material number Y.
The program or job (for exemple) that is triggered can read that the parameters is article N° y ? How do it ?
Thank you,
Roberto

Hi,
I don't think you can pass any parameters while triggering an event.
However, If you are raising the event through ABAP, you can update the material number to a Ztable and make use of it in the background job. May be you can use a flag in the Ztable to set once the background job process a particular material.

Is it possible to pass some data from a successful test to the next one?

For example, after testing the login system in one test, we can test all other features using an authentication token obtained in the first test.
Is that possible in the new FlexUnit ?
Many thanks,
Adnan

No.
Tests are completely independent of each other. If you needed to do something like this, you could either use the before to login each time, or you could use the BeforeClass to login once and keep your token as a static property of the class.

Is it possible to pass user_name as a parameter to a weblink

We are doing an integration between CRMOD and Oracle EBS:
Add a WebLink to CRMOD Opportunity page
When user clicks on the link, we want to get the user automatically logged in to Oracle EBS.
We have a whole layer of security to authenticate token and use EBS proxy user etc...and that is not a concern.
To make this integration work I need to pass the CRMOD user_id to the weblink.
It doesn't look like that passing a user_name is possible from the application customization setup page.
Wondering, if anyone out there knows it can be done?
Thanks in Advance.
Rahul

I was really dumb to not see the user_id right there.....sorry

Is it possible to pass table name as parameter to function calls?

Let's say I would like to retrieve data from table BSAD, BSID, BSIS, BSAS with the exact same WHERE conditions.
I.E.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM bsis
           WHERE bukrs = zbukrs
             AND belnr = zbelnr
             AND gjahr = zgjahr
             AND buzei = bseg-buzei.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM bsas
           WHERE bukrs = zbukrs
             AND belnr = zbelnr
             AND gjahr = zgjahr
             AND buzei = bseg-buzei.
Is there a way that I could put them into a function and do something like?
perform select_table_bsas using 'bsas'.
perform select_table_bsis using 'bsis'.
and I should get SELECT * FROM passed from the function calls.
Thanks.

Hello,
You can try something like this
DATA : LV_DBTAB1 LIKE DD02L-TABNAME.
DATA : DREF TYPE REF TO DATA.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ITAB> TYPE ANY TABLE. " used to store dynamic tables
LV_DBTAB1 = 'MARA'. " in caps
CREATE DATA DREF TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (LV_DBTAB1)
                            WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
ASSIGN DREF->* TO <ITAB> .
* chooses only english values
SELECT * FROM (LV_DBTAB1) INTO TABLE <ITAB> WHERE SPRAS = 'E'.
here, even the internal table is dynamic, but that can be static if you know the structure for sure

Passing sort as a parameter to Reports from Oracle 9i forms

I'm trying to call a report from 9i forms by passing 13 parameters. One of them is a 'sort' parameter. All the other parameters are passed succesfully to the report and the report also receives them successfully. But 'sort' parameter didn't work. I don't know if the report received it or not. I can see all the parameter values on the browser link of IE. The sort parameter also appears there but doesn't sort the data.
!!!!! Please help me out !!!!
Thank you.

Hello,
Are you still haveing problems witht he sort parameter? If so, I use a lexical parameter as the sort parameter along with an after paramter form trigger. I have found that a bind variable doesn't work. So it maybe that the report is running just fine but the sort parameter is just not working properly due to the bind variable. If you don't have it set up with a lexical paramter, try this:
First get rid of any bind variable with an "ORDER BY" clause. For example, you may have:
select
columnA,
columnB,
columnC,
columnB
from tableA
where
columnA is not null
order by
:sortby
However, replace the order by with:
select
columnA,
columnB,
columnC,
columnB
from tableA
where
columnA is not null
&sortby
Then create another user parameter by clicking the "+" in the object navigater. Call it P_1. Use this parameter as the parameter the users sees. You can create a static list of values that a user can choose to sort by. Say "A", "B","C", and "D".
Then in your after parameter form trigger, put the following code:
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
IF :P_1 = 'A' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnA';
ELSE IF :P_1 = 'B' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnB';
ELSE IF :P_1 = 'C' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnC';
ELSE IF :P_1 = 'D' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnD';
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
return (TRUE);
end;
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to pass an xml from external system to EBS using BE

Hi All,
Is it possible to pass the xml payload as input parameter of a function subscribed to Business event? Or is it possible to pass table type as input to BE subscription function (SRF)? if yes how?
Thanks,

Workflow Business Events help creating Generate Function to generate an XML payload that in turn is made available to the Subscription's Rule Function. Also, at the time of Raising the Business Event, you could pass the XML payload (in the form of a CLOB) to the Raise API that will be passed along to the Business Event's Subscription Rule Function.
Hope this helps.

How to pass any type of objects into Portal's rules engine?

Is that possible to pass any type of objects into Portal's rules engine? Or BEA's Portal service rules engine can only allow to pass a limited number of objects?
Are there any information about BEA's rules engine? and Can we use its rules engine without using its Portal service?
Thank you.

I worked on BEA rules engine 4 months back. I'm sure you can pass any JAVA object to it's working meomory. I am giving my sample rules here, hope it will be helpful for you.
I just replace pcakage name, other than that everything is from wroking project. Open in xml spy, it should be clear from the desc. If you have any questions post back.

Airport Extreme doesn't cover (large) house. Is it possible to configure a "repeater" of some type?

Airport Extreme doesn't cover all of my (large) house. Is it possible to configure some sort of repeater?

Ideally, you would locate another AirPort Extreme, or possibly an AirPort Express in the central portion of the area that needs more wireless coverage and then connect back to your "main" AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection.
This type of setup provides the best performance for the network while allowing you to place the extending device exactly where it is needed.
Alternately, you may be able to locate another AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express at an approximate mid-point between your "main" AirPort Extreme and the area that needs more coverage and connect the remote device using wireless only to "extend a wireless network".
As you might imagine, the "extending" device can only extend or repeat the quality of signal that it receives, so establishing a line-of-sight relationship between the main and extending device would be ideal. Otherwise, you may be able to get away with a wall or two or a ceiling in the signal path, but this is always somewhat an "iffy" proposition because it is just not possible to accurately predict wireless performance in advance.
