LOVs and how to substitute a database driven value with a more readable val

Hello,
I am using LOVS in my view objects and I like it because it is saving me time whille developing my UI: I get drop down list made automatically for me in my UI forms.
However I have a requirement to change the values we see in the drop down today.
Basically the values that show in the drop down are database driven and they are not very readable for the end users, so I would like to somehow convert them with some values that I know would make more sense.
Let say in my database I have a fiield name type that can be G for general or S for Specific, I would like the user to see General or Specific in the drop down list instead of G or S. How would you do that and can LOVs be configured to do that?
Thanks

there is something called display attribute when you create your lov in the ui hints tab..
you have shuttle the description for the code to the selected pane. .so that you see the description instead of the code that is bounded for the lov attribute..

Why and how we use Logical Database?

Can anybody explain with example why and how we use logical database?
Regards,
Rajan

Hello,
SAP comes loaded with all the extras. Among the extras that are most helpful to IT managers are all the access routines needed to pull any business object that managers can think of out of SAP databases. However, SAP has not thought of everything where your particular applications are concerned. SAP organizes its standard database tables to service business units based on conventional business applications. Itu2019s likely your business requires something new, perhaps even something exotic. In that case, you will need to create a new database, using information from different places. Basically, you need a logical database. You need to create a virtual business data object repository consisting of a new kind of record or table that suits your purposes. In addition, the repository should be composed of information that is actually stored in a number of different locations, none of them necessarily logically associated with one another. Letu2019s take a closer look at creating logical databases.
A case for a logical database
Suppose my company manufactures widgets of the most obscure variety, and they are components of other widgets. I sell my widgets as raw material for the more sophisticated widgets built by others, but in some cases I actually partner with other manufacturers in creating yet another class of widget. Now, in my world, I consequently have customers who are also partners. I sell to them and I partner with them in manufacturing and distribution. Also, I need an application that uses both of these dual-use relationships.
Essentially, I have a customer database and a partner database. Neither contains records that are structured to contain the identifying particulars of the other. Thus, I need a hybrid database that gives me tables detailing these hybrid relationships. What can I do? I can go the long way around and write a new database, pulling information from both and creating new objects with a customized program that I write by hand. However, this process is cumbersome and contains maintenance issues. On the other hand, I can use SAPu2019s logical database facility, create my logical database in a couple of minutes, and have no maintenance issues at all.
Logical database structures
There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
u2022     Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
u2022     Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
u2022     Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
Creating your own logical database
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
1.     Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
2.     Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
3.     Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
4.     Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.

Im not satasfied with 6.0, i miss youtube, some apps are slower, facebook wants premission to access my contacts, and how do i use apple tv feature with out mirroring?

That is awesome, works perfectly.
I'll get it worked into my main script. Is this Action Manager code, and not just regular Javascript from the Scripting Dictionary? I can't tell the difference. I'll see whether or not it's actually faster than Applescript.
Thanks. I know Scripting Listener records a bunch of stuff, but it's pretty amazing to me that playing back this line does the same thing that playing back the 1,011 lines Scripting Listener puts out.
Thanks.

Replacing Firefox 3.6.16 containing my history, bookmarks etc by version 4.0, I find that it will not open on my Mac Power PC G4 running on OS 10.4.11. Is there is a compatibility problem and how do I retrieve version 3.6 with my bookmarks etc

Replacing Firefox 3.6.16 containing my history, bookmarks etc by version 4.0, I find that it will not open on my Mac Power PC G4 running on OS 10.4.11. Is there is a compatibility problem and how do I retrieve version 3.6 with my bookmarks etc.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
When you install one of the above it will use your existing bookmarks etc

In itunes, when i plug my 16gb iphone in, it says i have 5.8gb of "other" filled on my phone, what is "other" and how do i delete it so i can put more music on

In itunes, when i plug my 16gb iphone in, it says i have 5.8gb of "other" filled on my phone, what is "other" and how do i delete it so i can put more music on

I know by the date of this thread that I'm probably too late to help you but I had the same problem and just figured out what the "other" really was. It is application archives.
     I'll explain it if you're curious, if not just skip to the next paragraph. When you sync your device and it is trying to update apps it doesn't want to lose the old app while its doing that. So it uploads an "application archive" zip file. Those files normally get deleted once the sync is over, but If that sync gets interupted you have all those zip files there taking up space.
     You don't have to restore your iOS device and lose all your contacts, messages, app data. All you have to do is use a iOS device file browser and delete some old partial apps from incompleted syncs.
     I use "DiskAid" or "iFunBox" but you can use any app that can change the files on your device. I'm going to tell you how to do it using DiskAid.
     First download and install DiskAid
     Once it's installled open it and plug in your device.
     Click on your iPhone/iPod/iPad then on:
          Storage, then
          Media, then
          Application Archives,
     Then just delete all thos zip files! (they will usually have weird name such as "com.NameOfTheCompanyWhoMadeTheApp.NameOfTheApp.zip" (Except it would have the name of the company and the app instead.
     It won't change anything else on your device. It's perfectly safe.
     I hope this helps you as much as it helped me!

Query LOV and how to display the LOV back in the Text item.

Hi All,
I have got a big time problem in getting back my LOV value after Querying it.
Am using a Tabular Canvas having 10 rows and two columns, one having "Type"(as LOV) and corresponding "Type identifier".
My LOV is an non data block item, having the correct return type. When ever i search for a value in the LOV, its should give out all the "Type Identifier" list and the "Type".
But what i am facing is, am not able to get back the selected LOV after querying it and am getting the entire "Type Identifier' with out any filter.
In short my requirement is,
- I need to search an LOV,
- Display the LOV value in the "TYPE" field.
- Display the corresponding "Type Identifiers'
Pls note: Since am new to Oracle Forms, if in your replies, if you specify to use any code in trigger, pls specify which trigger to use.
Thanks a lot in Advance... its bit urgent
Arun

Hi Dave
The requirement is suppose i have an Lov called OrgName is atatched to a column in which user will select the Ou Name from the list and internally the respective org_id will store into the database where the OU Name is available in the same data block but it is not database item . (Only org_id is database item)
Now if you query the same block i would expect the Ou Name should display .
Right now in my case it is not displaying anything into that column.
Hope u understood this time..Please let me know is there any trick?

What does this error message mean and how do I solve it? "Sorry, one or more of the following command-line tools was not found: /usr/bin/lsbom, /bin/pax, /bin/mkdir, /bin/chmod, or /usr/bin/update_prebinding."

When I try to open up this program, Pacifist, I receive this error message. Here's a screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/v717w.jpg What does this error message mean and how do I solve it?

It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder. You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again. This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do. The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/) I have had to do this before and it works like a charm. It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.

When and How to get the Text.ScrollPos value of a String control when scroll bar position changed

Hi,
I'm working on a feature triggered by scroll bar position of a string control changed.
But I could not find a good way to catch the scroll bar position changed event,
the scroll bar is controlled manually by mouse down → mouse move → mouse up, I want the get the Text.ScrollPos value when user mouse up, and compare with the maximum value.
But the problem is, mouse up on the scroll bar could not trigger String: Mouse up event!
So I have to get the Text.ScrollPos continuously in the background in Timeout event, but I think it’s not efficient.
Do you have any better idea on when to get the correct destination value of Text.ScrollPos?
I plan to store the value of Text.ScrollPos in the bottom(maximum value) in a shift register, then compare the current Text.ScrollPos value with the max one.
If it comes close to the bottom(90%~100% of the maximum value), then the close to bottom LED will turn on.

Hello Cecilia,
I don't think there is any build-in event for this.
One solution would be to create your own user event at the initialisation of you main and launch a thread which is going to be pulling the value of your scrollbar position:
Then you can build your main as if they were a scrollbar move event.
And dont forget to close the thread and destroy the event at the end.
Hope it helps.

How to represent a -1 numeric value with text?

Hi All,
Question: How do I get the value of negative one (-1) in a numeric column to display as "all"?
Background: For our lottery players, they are able to opt in to various automated alerts. One column is an integer value representing one of five different thresholds for sending an alert: 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, and -1. The -1 value
actually represents all of the other 4 values, or simply "all thresholds," meaning "send me an alert at every one of these thresholds."
What is the best way to represent the -1 value in the cube? A user won't understand that -1 is equivalent to "all choices". I could change the view so that the column is a string instead of an integer, but I assume this is going to
affect the cube in a negative way, such as unexpected sorting, etc.
I asked our resident SSAS guy if a numeric value could be displayed (not read) as "all values" while actually storing the -1 value, but all he could suggest was changing the data type and using a case statement to replace -1 with "all values."
This does not seem like a fix to me.
Is there a way to make SSAS display a negative one value as "all choices" without changing the data type of the source column itself?
Thanks,
Eric B

Normally you would have a lookup on the number and a text value for the result displayed to users in the cube.
KeyValue
DisplayValue
10000
$10,000
50000
$50,000
100000
$100,000
500000
$500,000
-1
All Values

How can I relace the Folder Icon with a more discriptive Icon

Bookmark toolbar: When you add a folder, it uses a "folder" Icon. How I replace that "folder Icon with a more Discriptive Icon, so I don't need to add text?

There are extensions that can replace the favicon of a bookmark, but AFAIK then there aren't extensions that can replace a folder icon.
The only way to do that is via code in userChrome.css and specify an icon for each folder.<br />
Place the icons in the same chrome folder as the userChrome.css file.
The folder name is case sensitive and need to be exactly the same as specified for the bookmarks folder
<pre><nowiki>#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"] {
list-style-image:url('folder-icon.png')!important;-moz-image-region:auto!important;}
</nowiki></pre>
Add the code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to have easier access to the customization files.

How do I move databases using RMAN with minimal downtime ?

How can I do the following using RMAN ?
DB version 10.2.0.4
Redhat 5.2
I am not using an rman catalogIn the past I have moved large databases from 1 server to another with 5 minutes downtime using backups done the old way by putting tablespaces in backup mode and making copies of the datafiles.
I used the following method :
========> Part 1
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE set DATABASE "VPMY" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 32
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
....etc
LOGFILE
......... log file names
DATAFILE
... list of datafiles
CHARACTER SET US7ASCII;
========> Part 2
Up until the scheduled downtime, I would copy the archive logs from the production server to the new and run the following to apply the latest archive logs:
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;
->AUTO<-
========> Part 3
After applying the last archive log while in restrict mode -
ALTER DATABASE OPEN resetlogs;
My question is, how do I do Part 2 in RMAN. I have managed to duplicate databases and restore databases using rman to a different server, but this obviously only covers the data upto the backup point. How can I do the above parts 1 -3 with downtime of about 5 minutes like I have done using old methods ?
Any help is much appreciated/

you should be able to recover as you go with rman as well..
copy the archived logs from A to B and apply them as they come in.
run
set until sequence x thread 1;
recover database;
if you're not opening the database after recovery you can just increment the set until sequence as the logs come in and do a new recovery.

Drill-down and how to change to the correct value in the dashboard title

Good Morning,
I have a problem on the presentational side, which some of you might have seen as well.
My dashboard page looks like this:
Dummy Prompt 1: YearFrom
Dummy Prompt 2: YearTo
Prompt 3: Item
All three prompts have a presentation variable to show their respective value in the title of the dashboard page.
Below the prompts is the report, which is filtered by the three prompts and contains a column "year" with the option to drill-down.
When I drill-down on a "year" value, a column "month" appears and shows the values of the year by month.
Problem : After the drill-down the title still displays the old "YearFrom" "YearTo" values and not the year I drilled-down on
Question: How to I change the title to the correct year?
Optional: In the drilled-down report I would like to hide the column "year".
Every idea is appreciated

hi, with JSF 2 you got the ajax tag, just tried it and it works fine :)
<h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{back.name}">
<f:ajax execute="@this" event="keyup" render="outtext"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{back.name}"/>or before JSF 2
<h:outputScript name="jsf.js" library="javax.faces" target="head"/>
<h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{back.name}" onkeyup="jsf.ajax.request(this, event, {render: 'outtext'}); return false;"/>
<h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{back.name}"/>The name property is a simple String in the bean.
Hope this helps

How to install 10g database on windows with db block size 16k

Hi,
Can somone help me install oracle 10g database on windows xp with db block size as 16k.
i need this database, because it is one of the recommendations for insalling OWB(Oracle Warehouse Builder).
Thanks,
Philip.

1) In Initialization parameter pile
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192/16K - One way
2) The other way once you install Oracle 10 G then at the time when you are creating database with Database Configuration Assistant you can modify the block size by the[b] Initialization parameter screen.
- Sizing Tab
Block Size 8K/16K
*** Remember by default Oracle 10 G uses 8K block size.
You use the options on the Sizing tab to configure the block size of your database
and the number of processes that can connect to this database. The Block Size setting corresponds to the smallest unit of storage within the Oracle database. All storage of database objects (tables, indexes, and so on) are governed by the block size. The block size defaults to 8KB, but you can modify it. Once the database is created, you cannot modify this setting.
The maximum and minimum size of an Oracle block depends on the operating system. Generally, 8KB is sufficient for most transaction-oriented applications, and larger block sizes such as 16KB and higher are used in data warehousetype applications.
The Processes setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous operating system processes that can be connected to this Oracle database. You must include at least six processes for each of the Oracle background processes. You can increase this number on the Initialization parameter screen.
