New in Supplement Option: Extending ROB (Repository Object Browser) Reports

To everyone who is subscribed to the Supplement Option of the iDevelopment Accelerators:
On cso.oracle.com you can find a new Technical Bulletin: TB.OR.18 - Extending the Repository Object Browser (ROB) Reports.
The Repository Object Browser (ROB) is a tool included with Oracle Designer / Oracle SCM to access Repository content from a browser. This bulletin describes the mechanisms by which you can extend the ROB tool Designer Element Type reports. Examples of these extensions include: change the existing report for a specific Designer element type, creating a new report for a Designer element type, altering the layout or style for a report, or for the suite of ROB Reports.
Go to http://cso.oracle.com, login, and in the iDevelopment Accelerators Supplements region, select Software Configuration Management, and then Technical Bulletin Library. You will find TB.OR.18 at the bottom.
Enjoy!

Thanks Sandra, we will look into it.
By the way, do you know why they removed the possibility to create and manage multiple roles in the ROB security manager as was was available in ODWA?

Repository Object Browser - unable to use Download functions

We want to use the options
- Download Folder Contents in one zipfile
- Recursively Download Folder Structure Contents
in the Repository Object Browser (version 9.0.4.7) of Designer.
Clicking on these options gives the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /rob/oracle.des.rob.standardServices.Download was not found on this server.
Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28 Server at JSTD-OWCDD01.ad.minjus.nl Port 7777
How can we solve this problem?

If you are trying to use change control within a Designer Repository that does NOT have version control enabled, then you may be better off by creating new application folders for each new release. I do this by judicious use of naming and a hierarchical structure e.g.
Project_Name (Folder) - This is a container to hold all versions of the application
Project namev1.0 (Application System)
Project namev1.1 (Application System)
Project namev1.2 (Application System)
Project namev1.3 (Application System)
I create a new version by exporting and importing the previous version.

Easy installation of the Repository Object Browser - Web Designer do it now

As the original developer of the Oracle Designer Web Assistant that has been part of Oracle Designer since 2003 as Repository Object Browser (ROB)- in patch-sets for Design 6i and 9i as well as the standard 10g release - I would like to provide you all with a very simple, 10 minute configuration guide to get you all going with the ROB.
ROB is really very simple to get up and running and it offers a very useful set of functionality.
For instructions, please look at the article I posted recently on our weblog: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=744
Enjoy!

I also need to be able to control how JRE is installed, over an intrane and the web, because my application requires ebcidic 277 from the extra libs, I have to be sure the end user installs this, and our customers are still using products from net banks which still use MSJVM, so I have to disable the SUN JVM Plugin.
I have not found a solution to pass parameters to installer from web page object.
The best solution I have come up with so far was to create a simple native installer, which i have put into a .cab file with an .inf file, signed this and placed this on a web page.
The user clicks yes on a single security warning dialog, and then the installer is downloaded and started, this then pulls JRE from web server to PC and executes the installer with a /s plus the parameter settings needed for install a specific installation.

Install Repository Object Browser

I have installed iDeveloper and iDesigner v9.0.2.80.6. I would like to install the Repository Object Browser, how do I go about installing ROB.
thanks in advance.

Peter,
The ROB is installed for you. What you need to do is configure it to use it. Go to your OS Start menu and invoke the Designer program menu. You should find the "ROB Configuration Guide". There are also viewlets on OTN on the ROB.

Cannot add new components in Object Browser

Hi,
We have a complex file with about 80 components. The problem is that when I try to add new components, they're not visible in Object Browser. It's possible to drag components into canvas, but not only they don't appear in object browser but also vanish after saving and re-opening the file.
No error messages or hang-ups. It's just as if adding become disabled or something.
I'll appreciate nay help on this

Is the new component hidden in the grouped objects, can you see it in the Objects browser?
You can drag a component out of a grouped object from within the object browser. Select the component and drag it up onto the grouped component name, it should then be outside of the grouping.
What version of Xcelsius are you using?

NEW FEATURE IN OLM - Provide option to launch learning object in new window

NEW FEATURE IN OLM - Provide option to launch a learning object in a new window from the player
Background:
When content is launched from Oracle Learning Management, it is presented within the Oracle Learning Management player frameset. If the content is not on the same server as Oracle Learning Management, this can cause issues with content that is not "frame-friendly". In order to work around this issue in the past, customers either needed to modify their content to be frame-friendly, or create a "splash" page to load in the Oracle Learning Management player, which in turn would open a new window displaying the content. This also caused integration compatibility issues with Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Web Conferencing.
Feature:
This new feature eliminates the need to utilize a splash page or modify content that is not frame-friendly, as it allows you to safely open the content in a separate window from the Oracle Learning Management player, while maintaining all tracking capabilities.
The new Open in New Window check box is provided on the learning object properties page.
When the learner launches a learning object where this check box is checked, the player opens as normal and presents a "splash" page with some instructional text. This splash page then opens a new window for the content.
The splash page also checks for the presence of a pop-up blocker that may block the new window from opening. If this occurs, the learner receives an alert indicating that a pop-up blocker has prevented the content window from opening.
Action/Notes:
By default, the Open in New Window check box is NOT selected for any learning object, whether created before or after the patch is applied. Therefore, if you do not plan to use this feature, no action is necessary.
For those customers who do want to take advantage of this feature, you must edit your learning objects individually and select the Open in New Window check box on the learning object properties page.
This new feature is independent of the Open in New Window check box in the player preferences section of the offering properties page, which opens the player in a separate window. If both check boxes are selected, the Oracle Learning Management player opens in a separate window, then the content opens in another separate window.
Availability:
* Installed or OnDemand Customers -- This patch is available now via Metalink. Patch # 5943165
Enjoy!

Please,
I need help, I don´t know why the next message display "cannot display the page", just some seconds, after display the course.
Do you know why??, is some problem configuration or connection??

Renaming Integration Repository objects?

Hello everybody,
is there any way to rename already created integration repository objects (e.g. integration scenarios)? There are some distinct naming conventions for some of the SAP certification programs and some of the content already developed does not adhere to those conventions.
Thanks for your answers!
Regards
Jörg Strebel

The renaming is not given as an option, mainly because of the dependcies that are involved. If renamed, the object dependencies are very difficult to manage.
1) Copy the objects to new names.
2) Change the dependencies from bottom up, to point to the new names. Data Types first, then Message Types, then Interfaces, then Mappings etc.
3) Delete the objects with old names.
4) Activate the changes.
Hope this helps,
Bhanu

Extending a View Object

Hello,
Which is the best way to extend a view object and change the where clause?
i am customizing sourcing module, at the search suppplier option in the negotiation tab
I create a new Controller, and i change the standard controller to the button.
I can only get the query itself but not the where to modify.
suppliersearchvoimpl.setWhereClause("pv.vendor_name = :1");
suppliersearchvoimpl.setWhereClauseParams(null);
suppliersearchvoimpl.setWhereClauseParam(0,"AUTO HAUS");
     suppliersearchvoimpl.executeQuery();
I use that, but it is not working.
The standard class has a dynamic query.
Thanks

aj,
take a look at this
when i press the Search button, i am not getting anything
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
OAApplicationModule am = (OAApplicationModule)oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
                              SupplierSearchVOImpl vo = (SupplierSearchVOImpl)am.findViewObject("SupplierSearchVO");
                         try
vo.setWhereClause("pv.vendor_name = :1");
vo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
vo.setWhereClauseParam(0,"AUTO HAUS");
vo.executeQuery();
catch(Exception exception1)
System.err.println(exception1 + " getting vendor category select");
//super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
thanks

I: Patch 6.5.3.1 for 9i available via Supplement Option

On headstart patch 6.5.3.0 (patch version ONLY for Oracle 9i Forms), there is a bug introduced in library qmslib65.pll
How to reproduce
================
- Start the headstart demo
- From the menu open form Forms --> Project Business Rules
- Press F8 (execute query)
- Now you see project 1, without detail records(no employees)
- Click on the item 'Employee' (first empty record)
- Click on the item 'Name' of the Project in the master
- Now message 'FRM-40202 Field must be entered' appears
Location of the problem
=======================
QMSLIB65.pll qms$context package body
contains the following code:
. -- fix 6.5.3.0
. if get_record_property(name_in('system.cursor_record')
. ,name_in('system.cursor_block'),STATUS) = 'NEW'
. then
. set_record_property(name_in('system.cursor_record')
. ,name_in('system.cursor_block'),STATUS,INSERT_STATUS);
. end if;
. -- end fix 6.5.3.0
This piece of code should be deleted completely
Fix
===
This problem has been fixed in patch 6.5.3.1 for Headstart for Oracle 9i Forms. This patch is downloadable from the Supplement Option web site.
Kind Regards, Marc Vahsen
Headstart Team

I think I've found a bug in this release: If you have an LOV defined on a report parameter (with value and description), the when-validate-item trigger of the field will validate the description against the LOV. It adds the following code to the validation query: ||l_where_and || l_description_column || ' = ' || '''' || name_in (qms0012f.get_param_description_item(p_block_name))||''''
Th descriptor column in this case is the alias (= "description"). However, you cannot use column aliases in a where-clause. This will never work!!
Is there a fix for this problem?

Biar file import does not import any repository object

Hi,
I have extracted a Biar file from Business Objects Enterprise XI 2.0 Server and it has size 20 MB. When I import this file into another Server using Import Wizard which has Business Objects Enterprise XI 2.0, the outcome is unfavorable. Inspite of both the source and target system being on same enterprise version (11.5.8.1111) plus both on Service Pack 2 Fix Pack 2.7, the repository objects log within the Import Wizard shows 0 objects imported.
What is the remedy to this situation ?
Regards,
Neonevin

Hello,
Not really that I know of.
Well this is a big problem since we can not export projects easaly between different computers. Or back to the same computer using this metod insted of the whole project fils and associated files.
Also there might be a problem exporting to different editing programs as Premiere.
And Apple do not seem to bother. We have to try to solve problems like this in forums and searching for answers and plugins for hours.
This i think will make us to leave final cut as editing software.
Also this version of final cut x - apart from final cut 7 does not seem to be able to export audio in a proper way.
Especially the audio that can be a little bit lika a worms nest seems to be impossible to export with all or most of the options left. It wants to put everything together in mixes audio tracks.

Exact table where the repository objects are stored

Hi,
In which table the repository objects(Program,FM,Data Element,...) are stored exactly.
I checked in TADIR table, but it's a directory for the repository objects.
Also checked TRDIR.
Say, If I delete a transport request which contains a report thru a 'Z_delete_request' prgm, I can still see the report in SE38.Ofcourse I have deleted in TADIR also.
But presents in repository.
Kindly suggest the exact table name.
Regards,
Siva

Hi,
Use seach option in SDN.
[System table in abap where all the programs/FMs created are stored !]

[CS3] Extending the Document Object Results an Error

I'm trying to extend the Document object:
Document.prototype.myOwnMethod = function() {
/* some code here */
but I'm getting a Document is undefined error in Illustrator CS3
I tried extending the Application object:
Application.prototype.myOwnMethod = function() {
but I don't get any error.
How can I resolve this?
Thanks in advance....
-- Jeff

very old post, but not answered.
PathItem.prototype.nick ="pfad"
will work if a single Path is initialized before:
var p =activeDoc.selection.. or something
,otherwise not
to solve this i create my own obj.:
function Pfad(obj){
this.nick = "bla";
this.ai = obj; // to store the original Obj
var p = new Pfad(pathItem);
//then :
p.nick;
p.ai.fillColor;
my question is: is this the best solution or could it be done better?
thank you
Chris

Import Repository Object

Post Author: GavinS
CA Forum: Administration
Just a brief question about the Import Wizard. One of the option it presents during the course of the wizard is about importing "Repository Objects". This may seem a silly question, but what is a "repository object" and how do they differ from other objects such as folder, report and user objects?

Post Author: dajabon
CA Forum: Administration
Someone on my team said they think they might be things like custom calendars and events. I can't confirm this though.
Just now I tried an import wizard and let it import just Repository Objects, I placed no limit on them and it seems only one was found. It imported in and in the Detail Log I could see that it was called "Dynamic Cascading Prompts". I am not really sure where this came from or where it exists. Jsut thought I would share all of my knowledge on this.
