Modern User Interface with PB12.5/PB12.6 Classic

Hello all,
we want to modernize the user interface to our PB applications, so that it will become state of the art. We are using PB12.5/12.6 Classic with PFC.
- What possibilities do we have to do that?
- I have found the "PB Ultimate Suite": does somebody have experience with that product?
- could somebody post screenshots of modern PB user interface, respectively user interfaces created with "PB Ultimate Suite"?
Thanks for your answers.
Best regards
Heiko

Hi Heiko;
FWIW: I like to build my own controls using either Custom User Objects and/or DataWindows. This gives you exact control over the design of menus, tool bars, controls, etc for any application. It also makes them 100% upward compatible to newer PB and MS-Windows versions.
    For example, I have a UO that emulates Tab Pages and was initially written back in the PB 4.0 days. It still works perfectly in PB 12.6. I can also use this control in Appeon Web 2015 and it renders perfectly in either the Safari, IE, FireFox, or Opera web browsers. The control also works perfectly with Appeon Mobile and renders perfectly on either the iOS or Android devices. All I have done recently is given the UO a sharper Tab Page look & feel like you see in Ultimate Suite.
   Of course, this assumes that you have some time to code and test your own suite of UO/DWO's that give you the look & feel your application is looking for. If you don't have the time or the need for various environmental support other than native MS-Windows - then the PB Ultimate Suite is a great investment!
Here is a real web application that I just put into production last December. It uses UO's and DWO's exclusively to give the application a CLF web standard look & feel (FYI: Common Look and Feel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).
PS: The UO's also work great with Webform, Winform and PB.Net (WPF) based applications as well. So I think that speaks highly that your initial investment can move you into the future no matter where PB goes!

Developing a User Interface with ADF Faces - Tutorial - Questions

Hello everybody,
I am a forms developer and I am totally new to ADF.
I started from the tutorials : Developing Business Services with ADF BC and Developing a User Interface with ADF Faces...
Everything was easy and very clear, as far as the material covered in the tutorial is concerened.
But when I tried to modify a little bit the application, to perform a different task... disaster!!! :-)
One of the "simple" things that I tried to do -for example- is :
In the login.jspx, where we have created an ADF Parameter form (that accepts as a parameter the customer ID) and
retrieves in the next page the Orders of the specific customer.... to Display a message, such as "+Customer Does Not Exist+"
if the user types in the parameter form an not existent customer ID...
I understand that I should use a validator.... But I cannot find the list validator (from query) in the bind variables not in the ADF Parameter Form Fields....
Does anyone know?
Regards,
Maira Kotsovoulou

Dear Grant,
CustomerID is in the UI Project, and appears as a part of an ADF Parameter Form... and I can not find key exists in the UI Validators....
CustomerID in the .entities is a bind variable in a query. select ... from customers where customer_id = :p_customer_id. Again KEYEXISTS validator is not available in the bind variables sections... Only in the attributes!!!
I understand that the "normal" behavior in a query with bind variables where there is no match is to display nothing as it does!!!
But I was just wondering, if I could even trap that before I display the empty form...? Or could I display a text in my ADF form, that says no rows... (as I can do in an ADF Table???)

Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE

Dear Sir or Madam,
Since I am a TA for software architecture class, some one ask me the following question: I think the answer is "No" based on the document on http://java.sun.com/sfaq/
How I answer the quesions? Looking forward your help!!!
1.You may have 2 applets and 2 html files. One applet with one html file may stay at a client PC and run on this PC, and the other applet with the other html file may stay at a server PC and run on this PC. In this case, all the applets are run locally.
2.Could applets works with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
3.Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Jing

The scenario you paint doesn't quite make sense. The "server PC" wouldn't be running an applet, normally, since applets are by definition in a web browser page, and most likely involve user interaction, and "server processes" generally are done without user interaction.
The security rules around applets are that -- by default -- applets can connect with sockets ONLY to the server from whence the applet was loaded. RMI uses sockets (J2EE is too broad a spec) and hence RMI calls would also be limited to the server from whence the applet was loaded. Within that limitation, an applet could open all the sockets it wants, so long as they are all on the server from whence the applet was loaded.
If you want two applets on two different systems to communicate with each other, the simplest way is to have them rendevous through a server process on the server(s) from whence each applet was loaded. Maybe it's PC-a <-> server-a <-> server-b <-> PC-b ...? Or maybe PC-a and PC-b both are talking to the same server.
The limitation is rooted in the security subsystem. You can specify a policy file and override anything in the security subsystem. That does mean signing the applet and then cajoling the user into agreeing to grant greater levels of security than the default. In such a case you can open sockets more broadly and then PC-a could talk directly to PC-b without going through any servers.

How can I display step info in User Interface with Tracing Disabled?

I'm trying to modify the CVI Operator Interface application to update the execute panel with some step information during the execution of the program. i.e. I want to display the measurement, high & low limits during the run WHEN TRACING IS DISABLED. (Doing this, when tracing is enabled is easy, all you do is access the step record that's been constructed (I can cope with that!))
I've successfully implemented a User defined execution event to signal the User Interface application when the current step is a result (using TS_UIMsg_UserMessageBase etc. I'm posting a UI Message in the Process Model under the ProcessModelPostStep so that I will only display if its a result step.) I've added a user defined
entry in the execute.c module execution event switch statement which will call a function in the exedisp.c module to update the display. However, I don't have a context to the step that I can use. (I can't use e.g. the exeRec record since this is only completed with the context if tracing is enabled.) I've got a handle to the correct panel to write the information to, but how do I get the context to the current step when tracing is disabled?
Regards,
Brian

Hi,
no problem - btw, if you wanted to acheive this in TS 1.x, you could always write to a local variable with the ActiveX reference for the step concerned, and then use the msg reference that you have in the OI within the UI Message handler, to dig through to the Execution ->Sequence File->Sequence->Locals, or Execution->Thread->SequenceContext (and you can get almost anywhere from that).
Hope that helps

How can I make a flash user interface with buttons to open up and navigate other flash files?

Hello I would like to make a user interface that will serve as a tool to load and unload other flash materials like a slideshow. I would like to make a kind of slideshow with Flash that opens up other flash files which could be around 10-15 slides (frames) long each. I would want to ask if there is any way to make a link between navigation and other slides easily. And if there are ways, what action codes should I use for this. Thank you very much.

All you need to do is load a swf into the main swf and target it with whatever controls you intend. If you are using AS3 then you could use the Loader class to load the swf and then target the Loader.content with your control buttons.

How to create Labview User Interface with buttons?

Hello,
I try to create a user interface, where the TestStand sequencies can be selected one by one not only Test UUT, Single run and run Mainsequence (about 20 buttons needed).
I'm playing with the simple UI shipped with TS and can load the sequence file and run automatically a sequence (Main or another).
How can I create and assign buttons to all sequence files in my TS project?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. (TS 4.0, LV 8.0)

I've modified my main VI with the below steps.
I still don't know how to create and assign front panel buttons to the user interface.
Anybody could explain to me how do I need to modify the attached part of my main vi and how to assign buttons.
Thanks.

Controling a user interface with extern DLL

Hi,
I am currently developing an application that is based on a graphical interface. I divide my code into multiple DLLs. By going this route, I met several problems. I want to know some facts:
1 - from the DLL can I assign values to textbox, read listbox of the GUI:GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TEXTBOX, val); (the GUI is integrating in the project who call the DLL)
2 - I use global variables "extern int" in my files. h and my functions. How do I change this variable declaration when I migrate to the DLL.
If you have any exemple describing how can i control a GUI with extern DLL.
Thanks

Hey Fishingman,
It looks like this post is very similar to your other post on Application Architecture. If this is the case, let's continue this discussion on this thread so that it is easier to follow for anyone else who may be keeping up with this.
To expand on my original response a little though - if you are just looking to be able to modify the user interface in a dll then take a look at this link. It explains how to set up dll function calls to modify a user interface. Again, I wouldn't suggest building your entire GUI through different dlls but it is definitely possible to modify it within a dll.

User Interface with variables in BPS0

Dear All,
We are planning for selective retraction using user defined variables assigned at planning level. It is working well in BPS0 transaction.
But, we want to have a front end to be given to the user other than BPS0 tcode to execute this.
We have tried to create Ztransaction by calling SAP standard function module 'API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE' in an executable program . The pop-up window that comes for inputting variables in BPS0 doesn't come here.
Also, please let me know if there is any other approach to give a user interface other than a Ztransaction code.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Srini.

hi,
I have created a variant for my planning folder.
In SE93, when I create a custom transaction, I have selected the option 'Transaction with Variant'.
I have given the transaction code as UPSPM and for the variant when I press F4, it gives 'No variants for this transaction'.
Any views?
Regards,
Srini.

Using Testexec user interface with test stand

Hi,
I want to use the testexec UIR (from cvi) with my Test Stand sequence. My goal is when this operator interface is opened directly, the specified sequence opens automatically.
Any suggestion!
Best Regards,

You can approach this 2 ways:
1- Hard code the name and path of the sequence file into the CVI code and rebuild testexec.exe.
2- Associate .seq files with testexec.exe such that when someone clicks on an .seq file it opens in the UI. Then place a shortcut to your sequence file on the desktop and have users start it by clicking on that.
I recommend 2.
As a side note: By default a UI will open the last sequence file that was opened.

User interface with Netflix is clumsy

I just got Apple TV so I could watch Netflix in HD instead of SD using the Wii. I am very surprised that Apple TV has such a cumbersome navigation when using Netflix. Using a Wii it was relatively easy to read what a movie was about without having to click the icon and going one level deeper. In the Wii one could browse, get a quick look, save and then move one. Apple TV does not have the year a movie was made, which is a really nice thing to know about a movie, the text is really small and so are the movie icons. If you are interested in a series, you can not even see how many segments are in the series. You have to scroll down the entire list to know. On the Wii, certain TV series gave a brief synopsis, Apple TV does not. I just find the whole Apple TV experience less intuitive, less informative and not as functional as the Wii set up. I am disappointed in the UI.

hi,

Want to create Graphic User Interface with Adobe CC but which package is best to use?

I have a CC subscription and (instead of finding yet another package to use) figured there should be something I can use to create the icons needed. Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction regarding which software within the CC suite I could use.
I've attached some examples of the GUI that I need to create/edit. The previous creator (who no longer works with business) used SolidWorks.

Thanx Mylenium.
Yeah, the SW is very . . . clunky.
Have looked started looking at using Photoshop while waiting for Illustrator to download,
I will admit I am loving learning how to use my CC Suite, just a bit of a struggle sometimes figuring out which is the better software to use for the different things I want to create.

Vic,
Since you're referring people to (your article on) TheServerSide Web site, maybe you should also mention Debu Panda's blog on Using a BLOB data type in a CMP Entity Bean (<-- that's a link to the Web page)

Html report scrollbar in LV User Interface

Hi Everyone
I'm designing a LV User Interface with a HTML report view. Everything is working nicely except that while the report is being generated the report text becomes wider than the report view causing a horizontal scrollbar to appear which then shifts the report view to the far right hand side. This is annoying and we don't want the operator to constantly have to scroll the horizontal bar across every time.
How can I disable the Horizontal scrollbar or enable the text to just wrap around. The culprit in the HTML report is when the full path name to the sequence is displayed, if I could at least disable the filename from being written that ought to help. This ought to be done within the reportgen_HTML.seq but where?

Hi
To help you remove the report path from the report I will need to know what are your report settings.
Can you please post your "TestStandModelReportOptions.ini" usually found under <TestStand>\cfg folder.
To try to resolve the issue with the horizontal scroll bar I have a couple of questions:
1. What version of TestStand are you using
2. What version of IE is installed on your machine
3. Can you please post a sample report and a TestStand Sequence File which causes this issue
4. What is your OS?

User Interface - auto detect does not work

I have added the jQuery Mobile User Interface with Theme 50 to an old APEX 4.1 Application.
When adding the new User Interface i checked the "auto detect" feature in the old User Interface.
"Auto detect"- Help says:
Select whether the appropriate user interface should be automatically detected. If auto-detection is enabled, the user will be redirected to the corresponding login page or home page.
When calling the Application (only with the application-id) from my nexus 4 smartphone the application does not switch to the mobile Login page.
Do i have to change any old settings or themes?
Thanks so far

You can run Incremental Sync from user profile 3-4 times. This will delete the user profile from SharePoint UPA.
Now, we need to run UPA clean job timer job available in Job Definition inside central administration.
This is a by design issue which you have raised. But, to get it done on the same day you need to follow above mentioned steps. This would be done in some hour and cannot be achieved in 4-5 minutes. So, your original request is a by design issue and can be
done i some hours.
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.
