Hi,
As per Dev guide, we can hide the global links for seeded OAF page using below code...
At runtime, there are rare occasions when you might need to do the following (we say "rare" because, by
definition, global buttons are universally applicable, so it is fairly uncommon to disable or hide them if a user
has function security access):
To hide or disable an individual global button, use the following processRequest code:
if (< condition >)
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
// You must call prepareForRendering() if the following code is
// included in a pageLayout controller. If you add it further down
// in the layout hierarchy, the menus will be fully processed so you
// don't need to do this.
page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
OAGlobalButtonBarBean buttons = (OAGlobalButtonBarBean)page.getGlobalButtons();
// Note OA Framework automatically assigns global buttons their corresponding
// function name, so this is how you find them.
OAGlobalButtonBean button =
(OAGlobalButtonBarBean)buttons.findIndexedChildRecursive("<FUNCTION_NAME>");
238
// Note that you wouldn't do both at the same time...
button.setRendered(false); // Hide the global button, or
button.setDisabled(true); // Disable the global button so it renders, but is
not selectable
To hide all the global buttons, use the following processRequest code:
Warning: Hiding all the global buttons is not recommended; you must get UI team approval before doing this,
and you must verify that there isn't a declarative alternative (for example, you could create multiple "Home
Page" menus for your application and alternate between the one with and the one without global buttons).
if (< condition >)
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
page.setGlobalButtons((UINode)null); // Must come after prepareForRendering()
// And, if for some reason, you don't want to display any tabs,
// do the following.
page.setTabs(null);
The standard global buttons that appear in all applications (Home, Logout, Preferences, and Help) are
included in a seeded menu called ICX_STANDARD_GLOBAL_MENU.
In u r case,
ICX_LOGOUT--- Function Name attached to ICX_STANDARD_GLOBAL_MENU.
Logout--- is the User Function Name
Refer metalink note *1308823.1* this helps how to remove preferences link on all oa pages.. similarly u can use this for logout.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
