Issue in Customizing ESS dynamic page(Bizcard view)

Hi experts,
I am working on Customization of ESS portal.
I am able to build and deploy application successfully .We are able to customize Detail View.
Problem Here is , I am Supposed to modify in BIzcard Iview which is a dynamic page.
Can any body help in understanding how data is fetched in bizcard iview and where the logic is to be added to modify the page (in which method).
Any pointer related to dynamic Customization of ESS portal is appreciated.

Hi,
I have tried alot for the same, but i didn't get any thing, so we built our own application.
I copied one of the sap delivered DC and done my customizations.
if that is small chnage in the IView side you can do the portal personalization.
Cheers,
Apparao

Thank You staurt.
I also got the SdnTechEd Documnet now. Was going through that.
It Tells about the creation of Std Package.
I need quick help on my first Change . I.e
for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeSelectedInfotype().size(); i++)
if(wdContext.nodeSelectedInfotype().getSelectedInfotypeElementAt(i).getBanka()== "1")
wdContext.nodeSelectedInfotype().getSelectedInfotypeElementAt(i).setZlsch("T");
wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_Payment_Enable(false);
I have requirement.
If the Bank type is other bank (banka=1) then payment method should be of type T and non editable.
I have wrote the above logic in Detail view init method of Controller and tried in View init too.It is making Payment method non editable in both the pages.
Any pointer for above details.

Issue in Customizing the Logon Page and Replacing the Logon Panel Image

I have facing problem in Customizing the Logon Page and Replacing the Logon Panel Image in Hyperion Workspace 11.1.2.1. I have tried multiple time.
First Replacing the Logon Panel Image. I have following the steps given in admin guide of EPM workspace on page 25 and they are as follow
To replace the image that is displayed on the logon panel:
1 Create an image file named logon_panel.gif with dimensions that match previous image.
2 Rename the installed version of logon_panel.gif to logon_panel.gif.original in
%EPM_ORACLE_HOME% /common/epmstatic/bpmui/themes/<do for each
theme>/images_global. Move the logon_panel.gif file that you created in step 1 to this
directory.
3 Clear your browser cache.
Note: You do not need to restart the Hyperion Foundation Services - Manager Server.
But still I am getting the same default image on log in page.
The other problem I am facing is Customizing the Logon Page.
I am following the steps given in admin guide of EPM workspace on page 17 and they are as follow:
To customize the logon page:
1 Follow instructions in the topic Extract a file in the Workspace Web Application.
2 Backup file <temp directory>/war/WEB-INF/lib/bpmui.jar.
3 Extract the contents of <temp directory>/war/WEB-INF/lib/bpmui.jar to <temp
directory>/bpmui_jar/.. (*)
4 Backup file <temp directory>/bpmui_jar/WEB-INF/classes/com/hyperion/bpm/
Resources_en.properties.
5 Edit file <temp directory>/bpmui_jar/WEB-INF/classes/com/hyperion/bpm/
Resources_en.properties.
6 Search for the property bpm.logonCopyright.
Customizing the Logon Page 17
7 Modify the text to the right of the equal sign. Use \n to get a new line.
8 Save your changes.
9 Repeat step step 1 through step step 8 for all the other Resources_xx.properties files for other
locales.
10 Jar the contents of <temp directory>/bpmui_jar/ to <temp directory>/war/WEBINF/
lib/bpmui.jar.
11 Continue with the topic, Re-package a file inside the Workspace Web Application.
For the first part I am following
Extract a file in the Workspace Web Application
ä To extract files in Workspace Web Application:
1 Stop the service for Hyperion Foundation Services - Managed Server.
2 Backup file <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/products/Foundation/workspace/
InstallableApps/workspace.ear.
16 Administration Tools and Tasks
3 Using an unarchiving utility, extract the contents of <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/products/
Foundation/workspace/InstallableApps/workspace.ear into a <temp
directory>.
4 Create <temp directory>/war.
5 Extract the contents of <temp directory>/workspace.war into <temp directory>/
war.
6 Update the file you are patching under <temp directory>/war. as direct in it.
But I am not able to find file bpmui.jar in step 3 of above one (*). I have marked for your connivance.
I am able to see these file in that directory
dynamichelp.jar
workspace.jar.
Can anyone provide help on this. Platform I am using is LINUX

How to use Custom Search in Dynamic Page or HTML Portlet ?

Gurus,
1. I have a tab called My Space in the portal web site, where user gets a personalized view of the content.
2. I am using custom attributes and custom item types. I have a custom attribute called 'Location', which is a attribute of custom item types.
3. I have 2 pages - News and Events.
4. All the content in News and Events page is tagged by the attribute 'Location'.
5. The requirement is to let the user search the News and Events by Location.
6. To achieve this I used the Custom Search portlet and the user can select the attribute Location and see the resultant News and Event items by location in the Search portlet.
7. The requirement is to present the News items and Event items in separate regions on the page and show only the first 5 News and Event items in the result and show a More link which would guide the user to rest of the News and Event items.
8. Eventually there may be more content other than News and Events tagged by location. If so, the requirement is to create a new region and display the new content.
9. How would I do this using custom search ? I was thinking if there is anyway I could use the custom search api (where can i find it ?) in the HTML portlet or Dynamic page and submit the result to IFRAMES in each region and show the output ?
Pls advise.
Thanx a bunch.

I would suggest that you use two custom search portlets; one for the news items and one for the events items. Switch the custom search portlets to "AutoQuery" mode and add the relevant criteria. On the results display tab of the the "edit defaults" screen, choose to show just 5 items.
To add a link to show the user mode results, I'd create two new pages that have just a single custom search portlet on it that is customised to show more of the results and maybe has the pagination links enabled.
Then I'd add two "Page Link" items underneath the two news and events portlets on the first page in an item region.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing this as well. Hope that helps to get you started.

Issues in persisting dynamic entity and view objects using MDS

Hi All,
I'm trying to create dynamic entity and view objects per user session and to persist these objects throughout the session, I'm trying to use MDS configurations(either file or Database) in adf-config.xml.
I'm facing following two errors while trying to run the app module:
1. MDS error (MetadataNotFoundException): MDS-00013: no metadata found for metadata object "/model/DynamicEntityGenModuleOperations.xml"

Hi Frank,
I m trying to save entity and view object xml by calling writeXMLContents() and saveXMLContents() so that these objects can be retrieved using the xmls later on.
These methods internally use MDS configuration in adf-config.xml, which is creating the issue.
Please share your thoughts on resolving this or if, there is any other way of creating dynamic entity/view objects for db tables created at runtime.

Dynamic Page Performance Issues

Hello,
We have a number of pl/sql procedures that display information, and are currently implemented as portlets via separate dynamic pages. The dynamic page simply calls the PL/SQL procedure with the appropriate parameters, and overall it works well.
What I have been noticing though, is analyzing a page using the &_debug=1 parameter, shows an example portlet (dynamic page) being generated - Portlet Timing: 4969 msecs. When running the procedure on its own (/pls/portal/schema.pkg.proc) it runs in about 1.5 - 2.0 seconds.
Why does the dynamic page implementation add so much overhead? Is there something else that I can or should be tuning to help this? Any ideas?
Similar results have been proven on other procedures/dynamic pages, so it seems to be an issue across the board.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Dynamic Page Porltets are expensive because they contact the database to run there associated queries EVERY time they are called.
There is an inherent overhead with the Portal architecture when contacting the database to generate portlets. The best thing you can do is tune your query to the maximum.
Thanks
Peter

Having issues setting custom 404 page...

Hey all,
I'm not sure if I'm missing a step, I created a custom 404 page ("404.html") and it's in the root of the website folder. Under Websites (tab) > Server Website, I click Advanced Settings and set the custom error page to "/404.html", yet entering, say, website.com/abc, still brings me to the generic Apache 404 page.
I also tried specifying the 404 page as "/404" and "404.html", and I tried adding it to the index file list.. No dice.
I'm sure I could do it manually via the .htaccess file, but before I do that (and before I inquire about doing that), I want to make sure I'm doing everything I should be doing through the Server App.
Any ideas?

Okay, I ended up creating and using a .htaccess file to override Apache's default settings, since I had issues saving changes to the .conf files in Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2, it's very locked down, and for good reason of course.
For those with the same issue,
0.5) In OS X Server app's Website settings, click "Advanced Settings" and check the "allow overrides using .htaccess files" box.
1) Create a new document in your favorite text editor. I used TextWrangler, free from the App Store.
2) Copy the text
ErrorDocument 404 /pathtofile
and change /pathtofile to the path to your custom 404 page, which can be HTML or PHP.
3) Save the file as ".htaccess" ideally into the root of your website folder directly, because the dot at the beginning makes it hidden, so you can't save it to the desktop and move it later (unless you show hidden files via that Terminal command)
4) Done! You don't have to restart Apache or OS X Server or OS X for the change to take effect, just go to yoursite.com/someRandomURLthatDoesn'tExist and watch the magic.

Caching in Dynamic Pages

Hi,
I have created a dynamic page(HTML) and published it as a portlet. I have included a call to display an image(say xyz.jpg) in the code. I have also published this dynamic page as a portlet and use it in a portal page. When I view the page it shows the image. When I change the underlying image(xyz.jpg), the new image(please note that that the images are different but the path and file name are the same) is not showing up in the portal page. Instead, the old image file is displayed. I have given Don't cache for the portal page. I also tried clearing cache for the page group, portal page and the dynamic page and it still displays the old image and not the new one. Is there a way to clear cache dynamically?
Thanks,
Manikandan Vembu

Hi,
This is a known issue with the way Wordpress generates the URLs to included content:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4774943
Wordpress generates absolute URLs to content rather than relative URLs, so the current workaround is to either use relative URLs or, if that's not possible, modify the wordpress configuration to use the IP address instead of localhost.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Bank DC issue (Bug with ESS 603?)

Hi all,
We are trying to disable the 'Edit' and 'Delete' button in the Bank Overview iView.
As the first step we tried printing some message in the init() and wdDoModify() method of VcPerBankUSOverview of essusbank using IWDMessageManager.After rebuilding and deploying,somehow the messages are not geting printed.
If we try printing in the detail view, its getting printed.But not in the Bizcard view of VcPerBankUSOverview.Am I in the wrong place? Is this bizcard getting created dynamically for Bank Overview screen.
I tried printing messages in Per DC too.
We are in ESS 603.Is this a bug with ESS 603?
Thanks
Kukku

Hi,
to disable the Edit and Delete buttons of the bank overview there are 2 options. Neither of them involves changing a standard component or even any kind of development.
1 - Configure the correct authorizations in ECC system so that the users don't have authorization to modify or delete the data.
2 - Disable the buttons by using the Java Webdynpro Personalization: preview the iView and press CTRL + right mouse button on top of the buttons.

Dynamic page problems

I've recently started to play with applications in 3.0.9.8.1. I've noticed that the option to make a schema an application schema as gone - do we not have to worry about this anymore?
I created a custom schema and set up the grants etc via the provsyns.sql script. I created a public synonym for my pkg and granted execute on it to PORTAL30_PUBLIC. I then created an application and attempted to create a dynamic page. In the dynamic page I just entered a simple block to call the procedure between the <ORACLE> tags:
begin
feedback.home;
end;
and clicked on finish. I received the following error:
110/22 PLS-00302: component 'DYN_08175622' must be declared
110/13 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
112/22 PLS-00302: component 'DYN_08175622' must be declared
112/13 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Any ideas as to what is going wrong?

Just a guess, probably wrong but have you tried
<jsp:param name="LINK1" value="<%=CertificationProperties.WEB_ROOT%>"view.jsp""/>
or similar, I am assuming view.jsp is a literal, and should not be within the tags for your variable.

Creating Dynamic Page: Make My Own Template Appear?

I am creating a Dynamic Page portlet.
During the setups for this dynamic page, in the "Dynamic Page and Customization Form Text" step, I would like to make a template of my creation appear in the dropdown of templates.
(Examples of templates currently appearing in this dropdown list include PUBLIC.TEMPLATE_1 , PUBLIC.PEOPLE_TEMPLATE AND PUBLIC.SKY_TEMPLATE.)
Does anybody know how I can make a custom template of mine appear in this list?
Thank you.

Go to the Navigator (page) > Providers (tab) > Locally Built Providers (link) > Shared Components (link) > User Interface Templates (link)
Once there, you can either copy one of the existing templates or click on "Create New... User Interface Template" (When prompted, I recommend selecting "Unstructured UI Template" if you want complete control over your html, css, and javascript code.)
Once your template has been created, you will be able to select it from the list of available templates and the template will be shown when the component is viewed in full page display mode.

Set viewset dynamically as standard view in a window

Hello collegues,
I want to Display a certain view ("view 1") in an overview page of another component.
"View 1" is in "Viewset 1".
"Window 1" has two viewsets:
"Viewset 2", marked as Standard.
"Viewset 1", not marked as Standard.
"Window 1" is in the component Interface aso.
When I add "Window 1" to the overview page of my component, then "Viewset 2" is shown, not "Viewset 1".
How can I set "Viewset 1" dynamically as Standard view in "Window 1" so that "View 1" is shown in my overview page?
Best regards,
Thomas

Adding a link to another page in View Mode using Destination URI

Hi All,
I have the Search items page in iProcurement, and the Supplier Name is a text field in the search results region. Now I want to display the Supplier Name as a link, clicking on which the user should be taken to the corresponding Supplier details page in View Mode.
Is this something that can be done through personalisation, as in without extending the controller etc. I tried by giving the url of the supplier page in the Destination URI of Supplier Name, and it navigates to the supplier page, but how do I implement the functionality of querying the details of the Supplier in context. That is, what is the url that needs to be used, and what are the parameters that need to be passed etc? What is the approach to implement such a functionality. I have done OAF development, but havent done any personalisation.
Thanks
Anish

Hi,
I have a custom inventory report where I have a header region with the From Date and To Date column. The user enters these two dates and the data is displayed in the Table region between these two dates. Then in the item column I have a URL link which takes us to the Detail page. I need to pass the item number and the From Date and To Date in that link so the where clause can be set for the detail query. The attribute value for the item passes fine but I do not know how to pass the value for the dates. My URL looks like as below. I have tried different ways as mentioned in metalink or google search but no luck. Tried to capture the value also and it shows as the value as ‘$FromDate’.
OA.jsp?page=/xxbn/oracle/apps/xxbn/consignment/webui/ConsSaleDetailPG&ItemNumber={@ItemNumber}&FromDate=$FromDate&ToDate=$ToDate&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y
I would appreciate if I can get some light on this.
Thanks in advance.
