Looking for a tool to search text fields in about 1000 reports installed on Business Objects Xi R3

Hi,
i am looking for a tool, program that can search all our reports installed on Business Objects Xi R3 for specific content in text fields and formulas.
We used a couple of years ago .rpt inspector, that worked pretty well for our purpose.
Unfortunately this is Win XP & Win Server 2003 only, so we can't reuse it anymore.
(I know there are way of getting WinXP that in a VMware, but that is not an option in our company.)
So i am interested , if there is another tool out there, which can help us?
regards Alex
btw we are using Business Objects XI R3 (SP7) with reports deisgned on crystal reports designer 2008

Search for a space within a text field

Hi All
I am trying to search for a sapce within a text field but sofar not being very successful. I have used:
FIND search_str
           IN text_str
           MATCH COUNT lv_mcnt
           MATCH OFFSET lv_moff.
where search_str = TYPE c VALUE ' '.
I am looking a way of searching a character within the string using ABAP (like INSTRING in other languages). If you have similiar codes - Could you please post me a copy - Thanks

HI
Check this..
DATA string7(30) TYPE c VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.
WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.
ULINE /1(26).
SEARCH string7 FOR 'X'.
WRITE: / 'X', sy-subrc UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
               sy-fdpos UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH string7 FOR 'itt   '.
WRITE: / 'itt   ', sy-subrc UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
                   sy-fdpos UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH string7 FOR '.e .'.
WRITE: / '.e .', sy-subrc UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
                  sy-fdpos UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH string7 FOR '*e'.
WRITE: / '*e ', sy-subrc UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
                sy-fdpos UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH string7 FOR 's*'.
WRITE: / 's* ', sy-subrc UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
                sy-fdpos UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
Thanks ,

Looking for an App that supports Text Searching in PDF (more complex finding text))

I try to explain it clearly since my English not good
when I using Ipad to search with some app like PDF expert. I can search words if I only type one single words or I type more than one words but these words are continuous in one sentence. Example like this
In this case. I type "and for the", and I got the result, because these three words are contiunuous in one sentence
But if I type words that not continuous but seperated in the file like this one. I don't get any result.
So, I'm looking for an app that read pdf and can search multiple words at same time. Like what preview does in the mac
See in the mac preview, we can search different words at same time and still get all the results.
So, Is there any similar PDF app that offer same function on IPad?
THanks so much

Yes, PDFPen for the Mac does do multiple word searching. I just tried it using this example:
I searched the iPad User Guide for "switch control". It only found those two words together.
Next, I searched for "switch". It found additional occurrences.
I did find, however, that I was required to place the two words "switch control" inside double quotes to find the two words together (and only that string).
UPDATE: Oops, sorry, the above statemant about the double quotes being required is false. Sorry, I used Preview by accident when I wrote that.
Indeed, PDFPen works just as you seem to want ... searching for "switch control" (without quotes in the search string) finds only those two words together.
UPDATE 2: Oops ... it sounds like this is just exactly the opposite of what you want. You are looking for something that, when searching for "switch control", finds all occurrences of "switch" and all occurrences of "control". If that is right, PDFPen won't help you.

Can't include a reset button/process that cleans a search text field

Hi all
Using apex 3.0.1 on a XE edition
In my app there's a report that displays a lot of records.
I included an text field item, where user can type a search criteria, then i added a button called "search" which, when submitted, display the records where search criteria is included.
Now, my problem is that i can't put a "reset" button, which, when submmitted, is supposed to clear the search text field, so the report display all records.
I tried adding a branch that triggers when reset buttos is pressed, clearing cache of search text field. It didn't worked, search string keeps on showing on text field.
Then i changed the process, instead of clearing cache, setting search text field item with a value of null. Didnt work either...
Does anyone have a good example of thjis type of reset button???
tnks in advance....
Fernando

yes Earl, i know it's pretty standard...but i got some trouble... anyway, i think it was just a "lapsus brutus" o' mine... It's solved now and here's what i did:
I created a text field button (where search string will be typed), a "submit as Go" button, and a "submit as reset" button. Then i created an uncondicional branch to same page, then i created a Clear Cache for Item process, where the text field cache is cleared, conditioned when "submit as reset" button is pressed.
That solved the problem, thnx very much for your help

Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match?

Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match similar to searching for a movie in Netflix.

I'm not sure I understand. You access iTunes Match via the music section, there are different categories and you select artist to search through the artists in your music library.

Looking for a Tool

I am an IT consultant with a client that conducts a wide range of activities including research, education, marketing, and sales. There are a variety of legal, regulatory and ethical standards that apply to these activities. Our task is to design/develop a system that allows the monitoring and tracking of our compliance in each of these area.
I am looking for a tool that would allow me to design and develop the application quickly.
Thanks very much for your help,
Bruce Liang

Bruce,
There are several rapid application development (RAD) tools, most of which can be used to develop applications against an Oracle database. Oracle's offerings in this area are:
Designer: This is our premium application development tool, suitable for extremely large, complex projects
Developer: This applications development tool allows you to quickly create forms based applications.
JDeveloper: Allows you to create Java based applications.
The ramp-up time on the first tool might eliminate it from consideration (Designer has so many capabilities that we have an entire curriculum devoted to helping application developers get the most out of it). I've thrown together quick, relatively simple applications using Developer in a matter of hours, but you will find that any tool will be slow going at first until you get used to its environment.
Of the non-Oracle offerings, my favorite has to be Inprise's Delphi. Like Oracle's Developer, it takes a while to get used to the development environment but I haven't seen too many things I wanted to do that couldn't be done in Delphi.

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.

Search for multiple items in one text field

Hi all,
I am new to ApEx, I have a request from one of our users to ask if there is a way we can allow them to enter more than one search items delimited by a comma. For instance, we have a text item field for user to enter some values as emp names, when he key in like PETER,SMITH,ALLEN,WARD, once he submit the page he will see the result as:
select t.empno, t.ename, t.job, t.mgr, t.hiredate, t.sal
from scott.emp t
where t.ename in('PETER','SMITH','ALLEN','WARD')
Many thanks.

You can create a multiselect list named P1_REPORT_SEARCH based on a List of Values (LOV) with those employee names and use this code.
select t.empno, t.ename, t.job, t.mgr, t.hiredate, t.sal
from emp t
where
(instr(':'||:P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||':',':'||ENAME||':') > 0 or :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is null) /**for multiselect**/
)

Looking for web sites w/ advanced text search

A group of potential customers are looking for a powerful text search engine for a web-published database, and I proposed they use Oracle 9i and Oracle Text for this purpose.
They may be interested but they demand to "see it in action".
Can you help my find web sites which use advanced features of Oracle Text to produce near-natural language search ?
My potential customers' context is : They have a few hundreds of structured documents which they want to consolidate and web-enable.
The main audience might be people who rarely use Internet, so ideally the search engine should be capable of "natural language" search.
An expert thesaurus has been constructed by the customers already.
I think Oracle Text could be a good enough option if we can take advantage of the thesaurus and the documents being structured, but I don't know of any web site that use these features of Oracle Text.
Thanks a lot if you can help.

Try tahiti.oracle.com. A search engine for the Oracle documentation set using Oracle Text. Each documentation
release (e.g. 8.1.7) is about 300Mb of data (around 110,000 rows in the db).
There are commercial references for Oracle Text but I would prefer to have your email address so we can
follow up in a separate thread. Thanks.

Searching text field

Hello everyone, I have a search box and I would like to
search through a text field in my database. I have been researching
on the best way to do this but not too much luck. I am not the
admin of the server holding my site but I can always ask to see if
they have functions that you guys recommend. I use a mysql database
and I have the search working but it only pulls up records that
match the keyword that I have entered. If the user types in pop and
goodpop is in the database nothing comes up. The keyword field in
my data base is populated by the user through a from and it will
consist of many key words.
I hope this awesome forum can help me out.
JN

when using LIKE you do not need to do the analysis more than
once ... you are doing the same comparison 3 times in the code you
posted.
all you need is :
Where CustKeyWords LIKE '%#form.crud#%'
however, if you actually use a phrase like "pop of can" and
expect to find "can of pop" that will not work because LIKE looks
for the existance of the word or phrase in any row of data for that
field.
i.e. "pop" will result in finding any record with "pop" in it
... "can of pop", "pop can", "lollipop", "popsicle", etc.
however the phrase "pop of can" has no relavent bearing to
"can of pop"
If you want to find records that contain ANY of the owrds
entered, and not just the exact phrase, then you will have to
divide the phrase up into individual words and that is when you
will need the OR function to search for multiple match potentials
in the case of "pop of can" you would divide that into :
crud1 = "pop"
crud2 = "of"
crud3 = "can"
then your code would be something like
Where CustKeyWords LIKE '%#form.crud1#%' or CustKeyWords LIKE
'%#form.crud2#%' or CustKeyWords LIKE %'#form.crud3#%'
This is just a concept and would need to be tweaked to allow
for any combination of words, since you wouldn't necessarily always
have 3 words on a phrase and wouldn't necessarily have a phrase at
all ... just a word.
An array or list would likely work best for this.
It is always usually a good idea to remove common words from
phrases as well (i.e. "of" , "and" , "the", etc) because otherwise
you could end up with pretty much every entry from your database.

Looking for interMedia web sites using text retrieval

I'm looking for web sites which use interMedia to support their site search function. My goal is to evaluate intermMedia for use as a full text search engine.
I'm particularly interested in sites which use the thesaurus features.
Thanks.

There are many sites on the Internet that use interMedia Text for site search and for catalog search.
While we don't track which Oracle customers use particular components of the database such as interMedia, here are a few good examples for you to try :-
oracle.com - of course
myCNN.com - CNN's personalized news service
bol.com - on-line books, music etc.

Looking for BR*Tools for the 6.40 Kernel

Dear Experts,
I am now playing with my old NetWeaver 2004 test systems... I was considering to create a small test system,
based on Oracle 10 and Linux. I easily found all the 6.40 Kernels in the Support Packages and Patches archive,
though the DBATL* files are for oracle 9 !!
As I didn't find a separate entry for BR*Tools in the "Browse our download catalog" menu, I decided to go for the
full text search, specifying: DBATOOLS PACKAGE FOR ORACLE 10.
Unfortunately, for the KERNEL 6.40, I only found packages for TRU64, not for Linux:
   DBATL700O10_44-20000202.SAR   DBATOOLS Package for Oracle 10g
Support Package SAP KERNEL 6.40 64-BIT TRU64 64bit ORACLE
   DBATL700O10_52-20000956.SAR   DBATOOLS Package for Oracle 10g
Support Package SAP KERNEL 7.00 32-BIT Linux on IA32 32bit ORACLE
   DBATL710O10_42-10004181.SAR   DBATOOLS Package for Oracle 10g
Support Package SAP KERNEL 7.10 64-BIT UNICODE AIX 64bit ORACLE
Based on the listed search results. I can assume the following:
SAP offers DBATL700* for KERNEL 6.40 on Linux.. The second hit result I am showing, suggests DBATL700* as well for KERNEL 7.00.
And starting from KERNEL 7.10, the file is then named DBATL710*
Does that mean, that for the KERNEL 6.40 for Oracle 10, I can download a DBATL700* file for Linux ?
Thanks a lot !!

Here is what the SAP note says:
The BR*Tools 7.20 and 7.40 packages are available on SAP Service Marketplace as an SAPCAR archive.
Separate versions of BR*Tools are not delivered for SAP Kernel Release 7.21, 7.38, and 7.41. Use the relevant Basis Versions 7.20 or 7.40.
The BR*Tools 7.20 package can be used with all SAP releases that are based on Oracle database 10g or 11g.
The BR*Tools 7.40 package can be used with all SAP releases that are based on Oracle database 11g.
BR*Tools 7.20 and 7.40 can also be used for SAP systems with non-ABAP stack without functional restrictions (for example, J2EE-only systems, portals, MDM, requisite, and so on). In non-ABAP stack systems, some control tables may not exist. Therefore, in addition, refer to SAP Notes 320457 and 892294.
The BR*Tools documentation is available as described under point [6]. In particular, the documentation contains recommendations on the type and frequency of regular upcoming database administration activities such as backups, updating statistics, and so on.

RB

With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Security audit: Looking for a tool or script that lists al of the users in AD that have access to a folder on a computer

Thank you,

You should be able to find a third party auditing tool for this. But if you are looking for free one, you may need to update the logic, combine multiple scripts etc to achieve this.
1. Get the ACL of the folder using a tool
2. Translate the SID to an object in AD
3. If it is a group. Get the group members
3a. if it a nested group, get all members from all nested groups.
