LV 8.20 Custom Application Icons Limited to 16 Colors?

Hi Folks,
I'm in the process of building a completed LabVIEW application into a
useful .exe that can be distributed. I'm wondering about the LV 8.20
application builder. First I noticed that indeed there is now an ICON
EDITOR! (your prayers have been answered).
I also noticed that the Icon Editor allows you to create beautiful 48x48 256 color icons.
However, I *also* noticed that there seems to be no way to have the LV
app builder actually *use* the 256 color icon for my built application.
The icon used is limited to 16 (or 2) colors, and the sizes available
are 32x32 and 16x16 pixels.
I've attached a screen capture of m dilemma.
Has anyone else come across this before, and does anyone know of a way
to get the LabVIEW application builder to associate the 256 color icon
with my .exe?
Best,
Evan

The color of applications icon changed to dark color, what does it mean

it happened twice, applications icon changed from red to dark red for a while?

Hello Omar,
Maybe you've found out by now but I believe it's because the apps are 'refreshing'. I think this is new to iOS 7 because I don't remember it happening before...
If you go into your settings-->general--> and about halfway down the list is BACKGROUND APP REFRESH.
I wish I could include a picture to make it easier but if you go into this setting you will see a list of all the apps that will refresh and also the master switch that turns them all off.. I'm not sure what it's doing when it's refreshing tho, maybe checking for updates or location?
Hope this helps,
Mister

Bug: Custom AIR Application icons on Mac OS X don't display after install

There are circumstances where custom AIR application icons don't display in certain Finder views after installation.
This is apparent when viewing the application in a docked folder popup. The icon renders as a blank with a sort of no entry slash across it. Another example where this occurs is in a Downloads folder in the Dock (if you immediately create an alias to the app in the your Downloads folder, and your Downloads folder is in the Dock).
In addition, the maximum icon size of 128x128 really not that large. I wish AIR applications could have larger icons, like real applications.

I've seen this occur with numerous applications (native OS X and AIR) and typically restarting the dock (rebooting or logout/login) fixes it for me. Doing a quick search on Google show's that it's a pretty common occurrence. Are you still seeing this occur after rebooting?
As for the large icon support, I would like to encourage you to vote for the following two feature requests!
Application Icon Size
512x512 Icon Support
Thanks,

Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.
cheers

Drag and Drop won't work and Application icons turned to folders

Today I lost the ability to drag icons. After a bit of searching on the internet I read that deleting the Library/Cache folder might clear it up. I did so, then rebooted the computer.
Now all my Application icons have become folder icons. What's worse is all my files show a blank icon and say there is no application present to open them when I attempt to open them.
And I still can't drag my icons.
What should I do?
If I could just get drag and drop back in action I could back up my data to my external HD and do a fresh install.
Or is there some way to move files without dragging them?
Is there some way to get the Cache folder back to normal?
I've already repared premissions.
I'm running OS X 10.2.8
700 Mz eMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Here's more on Drag+Drop;
Here's Apple doc.#107247. Apple says to restart your Mac as many times as it takes to allow drag and drop again. This problem is limited to some Jaguar users. It may take numerous restarts.
It is also suggested you install the 10.2.8 Combo update. You can install right over your present 10.2.8 with no issues. Make sure you unplug all USB and FireWire before installing. Just to be safe, Repair Permissions before and after the install.
If none of the above works (make sure you restart 100 million times!) download and install the free Dragster 1.61 program which addresses this issue.
Cheers!

Best approach to synchronize data from custom application database to EBS

Hi All,
We have requirement to synchronize data between custom application database and EBS database. Thw two database is on different location connected by 128 kbps connection.
The synchronization will do the following task :
- Download customer table from EBS (I have checked there are only 2000 rows of it)
- Up load billing data to EBS auto invoice interface table
The question is :
What approach is the best way to do this synchronization task ? some that come into my mind :
- create database link and run stored procedure to do the batch update ?
- for Customer synchronization, is it a good idea to create Materialized view so that any update to EBS customer data will be updated, refreshed nightly
- or is ther any better approach ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Hi,
There are two direction of synchroonization that should be done :
- RECEIVE Customers data from EBS into Custom Billing Database -> Yes, this can be done via materialized view
- SEND Billing data from Custom Billing Database into EBS database (Interface table)-> this cannot be done with materialized view
--> so how is the best way to do this under limited bandwidth (128 kbps) ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

MDM Custom Application using WD - WDJ / WDA preferred?

Hello,
Is there any preferred approach in developing custom WD application for MDM? So far we see that MDM Java APIs are used from WDJ application.
I came to know that WDA can also be used? Which is a preferred approach? Guess MDM Java API's are more matured to handle custom applications.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Dhanz

A very good question.
Being from Java b/g i would say Java, but to be fair, in my project we are using both MDM java for the front end and ABAP for data load. The issues that we faced in ABAP were
- The user id has to be passed in Upper Case, though MDM user ids are case sensitive, for ABAP it accepted user ids in only Upper case.
- Some limitations in Matching strategy
I would personally prefer Java over ABAP any day as Java being more extendible and as SAP suggests, use ABAP only if you are staying with in ECC. If your landscape comprises of systems outside ECC/SAP, stay with Java.
Cheers!!!

Application icons not showing in console

Does anyone see application icons in the Configuration Manager console? There's an "Icons" column as if this is an intended feature, but it always shows the generic application icon. This is really annoying as I can't check applications icons unless
I find a machine the application is deployed to and check Software Center.
Is this a known issue? Is there some way to resolve it?

Are application icons embedded objects?

I'm using Access 2010 with an .accdb format file. I tried to add a custom icon as the application icon in options. This works fine on my machine but does not appear to transfer to other machines, i.e., the .accdb when opened on another machine
displays the default Access icon. I had assumed that the icon was embedded once it was set in options. Must the actual icon file be present and accessible at the path specified for it in options for all users? That would seem rather silly.
As per usual with Access 2010 I can't find any good documentation on this.
-Bruce

That icon is indeed not embedded. I always put my application icon in a shared folder on a server...usually the same folder as the back end. I'm talking about a split database with the users having a local front end and linked tables to the back end.
If you haven't got to that step yet make sure you have the icon in the same folder as the database and give the icon's path the full path.

How do you move an application Icon to the home Screen

How do you move an application Icon from the applications menu to the home Screen.
For example the browser Icon????
Solved!

Gotcha... But actually its limited to 9 icons in the L theme as the Profiles icon is always present. From that screen hit the Menu key to display the bigger list of icons. Arange them so the first 9 icons are the ones you want to see on the L theme.

Common Supplier master database for Custom Applications and Oracle Financia

Hi,
We would like to build a custom applications (Multiple) for our organization core business operations using .NET on the database which is being used by Oracle financials R12.1.1. These custom applications are going to have its own application servers. BUT the database is common for both custom applications and oracle financials. This database is going to house on the Oracle RAC.
We would like to have a common supplier master for both custom applications and Oracle payables. Could you please help me with below questions?
1. How to create/Update/Query the supplier records in the supplier master tables provided by Oracle financials using custom applications?
2. How can we store the additional data elements needed by each custom application? We can't use the DFF on the supplier tables as the data elements for each custom application is going to be different. even though they use same supplier.
3. We might have multiple supplier with same name but different FEIN/SSN numbers. As per the design Oracle financials doesn't allow the same supplier name entered multiple times even though FEIN/SSN number is different. How can we workaround this limitation?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please find my comments below:
1. How to create/Update/Query the supplier records in the supplier master tables provided by Oracle financials using custom applications?
A: You may use Supplier Open interface and Sites Interface to Create the Supplier Records. I don't think there is any API to update Supplier Info. Since both the applications exist on same database, I think you can query the Vendor tables from Custom applications also.
2. How can we store the additional data elements needed by each custom application? We can't use the DFF on the supplier tables as the data elements for each custom application is going to be different. even though they use same supplier.
A. Designing different tables depending on Custom Application ID and Vendor ID seems to be the only option.
3. We might have multiple supplier with same name but different FEIN/SSN numbers. As per the design Oracle financials doesn't allow the same supplier name entered multiple times even though FEIN/SSN number is different. How can we workaround this limitation?
A.One alternative is to create a single supplier with each FEIN/SSN number as site. Second one is to create Supplier Name concatenated with FEIN/SSN numbers as different suppliers and store the actual name in some DFF or other field. Standard functionality won't allow such duplication (Cannot Create Supplier/Employee With The Same Name Of Existing Supplier [ID 743430.1]).
Hope it helps.

Custom Application Configuration not pulling the data in E-Recruiting

Hello,
My requirement is to make some fields 'required', hide some buttons, change button texts & hide some columns in standard wd component (ERC_A_REQ_MGMT) delivered by SAP. So I created an application configuration and component configuration and did the layout customization. Now in the application I am passing this new configuration name with the parameter (sap-wd-configId)(......sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/erc_a_req_mgmt?sap-wd-configId=ZZERC_A_REQ_MGMT)
As this is a portal environment, in LPD_CUST, In the application parameters, I've used this parameter (sap-wd-configId=ZZERC_A_REQ_MGMT). The custom application is displayed, however, the data is not being passed to this custom configuration, so when I open a exisiting requisition from dashboard, this is shown as empty screen (like a new requisition), but when I take off this parameter from the lpd_cust, the standard app is working fine. Can you please help me understand why the data is not being passed to the custom application configuration?
Really appreciate your insights.
Thank you.

Hi,
We faced the same issue in SAP E-recruiting EHP4 solution. The reason is, the configuration which is assigned statically in FPM editor is loaded after the OVERRIDE_EVENT_OIF and thus discards all context nodes which have been already initialized. Afterwards, the context node of has no value anymore and the field on UI doesnu2019t display anything.
Remove the static component configuration in the FPM editor and use the following code in the wddoinit method of the view V_GEN_JOB_INFO. This assignment happens at the runtime.
data: lo_api_controller          type ref to if_wd_component,
        lo_pers_manager            type ref to if_wd_personalization,
        ls_configuration           type wdy_config_key,
        lt_config_table            type wdy_config_table,
        ls_config_header           type wdy_config_header,
        lo_fpm                     type fpm_s_runtime_info,
        ls_fpm                     type fpm_s_runtime_info.
      lo_api_controller = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
     lo_pers_manager = lo_api_controller->get_personalization_manager( ).
     lo_fpm = wd_comp_controller->go_fpm->get_runtime_info( ).
    ls_configuration-config_id    = u2018ZERU_REG_REQ_MGMT_UIu2019 u201C Your Component configuration name
    lo_pers_manager->load_config_by_key( ls_configuration ).

Hi Amit,

This is what you're looking for, there's no real cook-book -- though Amey mentioned there might be some material on SDN, perhaps some tutorials.
You should be looking into com.sap.security.api.IUserFactory, methods newUser(String) which gives you and IUserMaint and commitUser(IUserMaint, IUserAccount) -- IUserAccount can be obtained using com.sap.security.api.IUserAccountFactory, method newUserAccount(String)

SSO Enabling a custom application with OAM

Hi All !
Am a bit stuck on a problem and need some urgent help. Actually we are trying to launch some custom-built (J2EE/.NET) web applications from the Oracle Portal with SSO i.e. once the user logs into the portal he would not have to log-in again to the applications which would be launched from the portal home page.
We have successfully integrated the Oracle Portal with the OAM SSO, but facing some problems with SSO enabling the custom applications. Any help on what should be the ideal integration architecture and approach for SSO enabling the apps with minimum amount of modification of the application code.
The licenses are available for OID, OVD, OAM.
Thanks in advance. Any views/comments/links to useful material appreciated.
Cheers
Soumak

If your custom application uses its own database for Authentication, then you have to modify the login process for your application. i.e. you have to trust the OAM to have done the authentication and then create any custom cookie that your application might use in its landing page.
I am assuming that your custom application have some way of tracking if the user has logged in or not. You can protect the Custom application URL within OAM and once the user has logged in you can then generate your custom application cookie.
Even if you use OVD, you stil have to modify login process in your custom appliation to trust the third party to have done the authentication.
Thanks
