HR Infosets - switch object selection question?

Dear All,
I encounter this issue. I create a HR Infosets using logical database PNPCE. As the requirement of our HR Dept, so we need to add more extras fields (by code).
The problem when we switch on/off object selection (from menu):
- When the object selection is off: all the extras fields I add are available.
- When the object selection is on: all of them are not available.
This is my idea. All the field of infosets will be display when the object selection is on depend on SAP internal field, and the extra field we add by code will not be displayed.
But it's my opinion. So please help me with this issue.
Thanks in advanced.
Thien.

Hi,
We can hide those options by implementing the Layoutsets. If you need to hide those options for standard admin user itself, then you need to change the standard Layoutsets, which is not recommended. These options are defined in the "Command Group" of the Layoutsets.
You can Navigate to Layoutsets thru below path.
Sys Admin -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management ->Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings -> Layoutset
Tweaking over the Layoutset Command group properties will hide the options which you mentioned.
Thanks,

Object Style Manager issue in Captivate 6

Hi there,
I'm using a trial of Captivate 6 and am setting some styles using the Object Style Manager.
When I alter some preferences for the Rollover Caption (e.g. font size, alignment, caption background), the changes take effect on the Text Caption as well. I'd like the Text and Rollover captions to have different styles, is it possible to set this up inthe Style Manager?
Many Thanks

Hi,
This is happening as the Text caption, Rollover caption uses the same style as its default style. You can try creating a seperate style for the Rollover caption.
To do this,
1. Open Object Style manager.
2. Select 'RolloVer Caption' from Standard Objects>Rollover Caption, Click on the 'Clone' button
It Creates a new style with the name '[Default Caption Style]1
3. Click on the 'Set As Default' button.
This newly added style is set a s the Default for Rollover caption. Now wheneven you insert a Rollover caption, It gets inserted with the new Style and the Text caption gets inserted with the old style.
Hope this resolves the Issue.
Thanks,

How does object memory management works?

Hi all,
I'm having a lot of problems with memory which seems not to be released when using objects (on Oracle 9i 9.0.1.1.1). I've prepared the following test:
create type t_test as object (
id number,
member function FunctTest(TBL IN CHAR, expand IN CHAR) return varchar2
) not final;
create or replace type body t_test as
MEMBER FUNCTION FunctTest(TBL IN CHAR, expand IN CHAR) RETURN varchar2 IS
BEGIN
return NULL;
END FunctTest;
end;
create or replace function FunctTest2(TBL IN CHAR, expand IN CHAR) RETURN varchar2 IS
BEGIN
return NULL;
END FunctTest2;
create table tab_test of t_test;
insert into tab_test values(1);
commit;
As you can see, I create a simple type with a member function, and a schema function who does the same (nothing, in this case). Then I call the two functions with the following PL/SQL blocks:
declare i integer;
t varchar2(4000);
ob t_test;
begin
select value(a) into ob from tab_test a where a.id=1;
for i in 1..5000 loop
select ob.FunctTest('A','S') into t from dual;
end loop;
end;
declare i integer;
t varchar2(4000);
begin
for i in 1..5000 loop
select FunctTest2('A','S') into t from dual;
end loop;
end;
If you run these blocks with Task Manager opened (I use W2000) on server console, you can see how memory usage grows very fast with the first block, and how it doesn't change with the second one.
The memory isn't released till the session is alive.
I'm trying to develop an object application, but these memory leaks are making me crazy.
Geoff, does release 2 solve some of these problems?
In particular, please, do I need to free by myself temporary objects (these ones referenced in PL/SQL blocks)? In which way? I haven't found anything about object memory management in documentation...
As always,
Thanks for any support to everybody.

Andrea,
Do you have an Oracle Support customer ID? If you can log a TAR on http://metalink.oracle.com with your customer id, someone can take a closer look at this problem.

Is it possible to make changes on object selection area???

Hi friends,
I wanna ask a question about portal.
When we connect to portal we choose corporate documents , there are files of departmants like hr, it, corporate general ...
We want some changes in object selection area of these files. For example when we get into object selection area of IT there are objects like favorites, others, personel documents, common document, common documents.
My question is
Can we deduct or hide some of these objects from object selection area? If we can, how can we do it?
Thanks

OADP settings for MSS Services - Define Rules for Object Selection

Hi
Our client wants to extend MSS to all managers, and to begin with want option of "Only B002 Relationship" in drop down of Team Calendar.
I have tried all standard options but unable to find a suitable rule(Define Rules for Object Selection) which would restrict the list of employee to only B002 Relationship of Manager.
Any ideas on how to achieve it?
Regards
Yash

Hello Yash,
I think first concern here should be to make things work at your end...thus I am not focusing on your evaluation path...that you have set....
Just to kick off things so that they start work for you.....
you need to set the evaluation path as I have mentioned in my earlier reply....
These evaluation paths have been working for me...
To correct yours as per mine you need to set
ZB2 as
10 S B 002 Is Line superior of * S
and set
ZB3 as
20 S A 008 Holder * *
Now if still things does not work then...you need to check the Tcode PPOM_OLD and see if the correct reporting relationship (B002) exists for the logged in user.....
These evaluation paths are very confusing for me.....and so I am not trying to correct what you have set in ZB2 and ZB3....
And also note that there can be more then 1 way to achieve your goal with evaluation paths.....
Yash here on we will focus on this thread only.......Let Upendra clear his doubts with that thread.....right..?
Object and Data Provider evaluation path to get subordinates.

Blank Window for Object Style Manager - Captivate 8

When I open a project then open the Object Style Manager it appears blank. Does anyone

Hi There,
Have you checked Object Style Manager window in a new blank project in Captivate ?
If issue exists in a new blank project as well then please close Captivate first and then clean it preferences by going to :-
C:\Program Files ( for 64 bit ) or Program Files (x 86 ) ( for 32 bit ) \Adobe\ Adobe Captivate 7 x64\utils\ and run CleanPreferencesWin.bat file.
Launch Captivate 7 by right click on it and select run as administrator and see if that makes any difference.

Ajit

Object Style Manager: How to import styles into CP8 from CP7

Here's my problem:
I open a Captivate file created in CP7
I save it as a different file name in CP8
I create a new Object Style - say for a Text Caption
I export the Style - I've tried just the new style, all styles, all styles for all objects.
I create a new CP8 file, save it.
I try and import the styles exported in step 4 and get the error: "Cannot import Styles.The style file you are trying to import was exported from an earlier version of Captivate"
I don't get it. I opened the CP7 file and resaved it with a new name in CP8 in a different location.
What's the problem?

OK finally I have an answer:
Open CP7 File with Default & custom styles
Copy all slides
Create new CP8 file & save
Paste all slides to this new file & save
Object Style Manager : Export all styles of all objects
Create / Open a CP8 file
Object Style Manager : Import styles created in step 5

Bug in CP5 Object Style Manager?

Hi,
I created own styles using the Object Styles Manager and everything seems to be fine. However, when I create a new project the character size is always automatically changed to '22' although '14' was the predefined font size. This even happens if I create a project from a Project Template or a Master Slide.
The good news is that if I change the setting back to '14' before recording this size will be used for the recording. Nevertheless this is annoying because I want to provide to users a template they can use without any changes.
Best reagrds,
Alex

Hi,
For checking the preference file, you could rename the name of the folder with name "Captivate 5" at the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\adobe\Captivate 5.
Also, if you could send me the CP4 .cp file which you are upgrading , it would be great.
Thanks,

Keep 3D objects selected in all views?

I've looked in the manual but I often miss the obvious search criteria.
One of the cool features of After Effects is that an object is shown as selected in all 3D views. Switching views leaves the object selected along with its motion path.
Is this not possible in Motion? It's making me really cranky.
Another thing I can do in AE is tell the app to always preview a specific view. That's usually the Active Camera but it's easily changed. With Motion, the preview seems to always be the last view I was working in. That's making me cranky, too.
bogiesan

Hmm, clicking on the upper left corner in each viewport, where there is a black button/drop down list of possible views, seems to work. An object selected in the timeline will remain selected when changing window or viewport focus this way. You can also use the camera view icons in the lower left corner. Thanks. How did you know that? In the manual someplace? I love the Motion manual. No, really, I do.
editorial: That's a stupid way of switching window focus. I'm starting to understand how Motion thinks, though. When I click into a window, Motion assumes I'm clicking into the scene and therefore deselecting everything. Except applications like AE assume the user is intelligent, the first click is merely selecting the view and is not meant to deselect everything.
Thanks again TCY, very helpful. Greenie for you!

Paste in place (In front of object selected)

I am running Illustrator CC 2014 and a useful tool that I go to frequently is Paste in Place (Ctrl + F). In older versions of Illustrator when using 'Paste in Place' you could copy an object, select any other particular object, hit CTRL + F, and the copied object would then be placed just in front of the object previously selected. Now, when I 'Paste in Place' it places the object in front of all, instead of at the designated place in a layer's order. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is "Remember layer" checked in the layer panel's menu? (Monika Gause Sep 18, 2014 10:00 AM)
Ah HA!
I'm working through the Illustrator Classroom in a Book for AI CS6 in the Perspective Drawing section and had this problem. A very easily overlooked setting. Resetting the Workspace DOESN'T clear this. It's apparently saved in the AIPrefs file.

Object Selection Frustrations

I am experiencing the following, very frustrating,
usabilities issues relating to object selection:
1) More often than not when I click on an object in the slide
editing pane in order to select it, I end up moving or resizing it
slightly. This is quickly and easily undone with a Ctrl-Z (Undo),
but it costs me time and mental energy assessing whether or not
this has occurred. Is there a technique for selecting an object
that guarantees that the object won't be modified in any way?
2) In this scenario I have select an object B ('b' for back)
in the timeline pane that is behind another object F ('f' for
front), and I want to modify (move, resize) B in the slide editing
pane. The object B displays in the slide editing pane as though it
is selected (i.e. resize handles), but if I then click on object B
to interact with it, object F >>always<< gets selected.
3) In this scenario I have selected an object in the timeline
pane, and I then want to move it a small amount using, say, the
down arrow. Even though the object appears as selected in the slide
eding pane, pressing the down arrow acts on the >>timeline
pane<< (which still has focus). I have to explicitly click on
the object in the slide editing pane before being able to use the
down arrow to move it. This clicking to select invariably modifies
the object in some unintended manner, as described in scenario 1
above.
I hope there are easy answers to the above issues, as they
are severely impacting on my enjoyment of using the product, and my
productivity.

Thanks for the feedback Rick. I am indeed using Captivate 1.
Re. Issues 1 & 3
Right-clicking on an object in the slide editing pane brings
up the context menu, which I have no need for in the scenarios
described above, however it does appear that I can then safely left
click anywhere on the object to complete the selection process
without disturbing the object in any way.
So a right mouse click followed by a left mouse click
resolves my issues 1 and 3 above. That's non-intuitive, two mouse
clicks instead of just one, but, in the end, achieves the
objective.
Re. Issue 2
Dragging the object up the timeline does indeed resolve the
issue. Again, non-intuitive (since the slide editing pane visually
indicates that the object is selected), more work than necessary,
but achieves the objective.
Regarding the moving of objects up and down the timeline - I
have encountered a fair bit of frustration with this too. Often
times the selected object will refuse to move up or down and I end
up selecting and reselecting it multiple times until it does
eventually behave. Is there any particular trick involved here too.
P.S. Do you trainers not regularly observe trainees
struggling with these basic object selection/manipulation issues?
Haven't these difficulties been reported to eHelp/Adobe over the
years? I would like to think that I am not the 'least common
denominator' when it comes to using software, given that I am a
technical writer who has worked in the software engineering field
for 15 years now.

Exporting Objects Style Manager file? And Overriding Preset Defaults?

Hi,
We received our upgrade of Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. I noticed the Captivate 5 does not use design template as it is replaced with Object Style Manager. I have a question, how do I override objects styles preferences presented to us from a vendor with my department's standard design template? Also, we have two copies of licensed Captivate softwares installed (One in Austin, TX and one in Washington DC).
What I am asking is it possible to export a full Style Manager file from one location and share this file with other computer where 2nd copy is installed? I don't want to export INDIVIDUALLY as I am looking for a full, and complete export?
Secondly, when we receive a Captivate project from a vendor, they have their own object design preferences and we don't want to use their preferences if we present this simulation onto our Learning Content Management System (LCMS) as we want to override preset defaults with our standard design template, is it also possible?
I want to make sure that we exhaust all of our options before we downgrade to Captivate 4 from Captivate 5.
Thanks for taking your time reading this and assistance in advance!

As you've noted, Cp5 doesn't use Design Templates, and neither does it have anything exactly equivalent to CSS or style sheets that can be applied quickly and easily across multiple projects, as you can do with web pages.
You can export all styles from a current Captivate 5 project and import the entire style set into another Cp5 project. However, in current Cp5 functionality the imported styles do not overwrite existing styles that may have the same name, and this includes the default styles. What you end up with is a lot of additional styles that have the same name with a number appended to the end to differentiate them from existing styles. Do this once or twice and things can get very messy very quickly.
We've logged a request for Adobe to consider adding the ability for authors to choose whether or not to overwrite existing styles with identical names on import. Hopefully this will happen soon. For the present however, you need to work around the issue as best you can.
If your vendor sends you a project with an existing set of styles that are customised versions of the default styles, my suggestion is that you create your own style set with unique names (e.g. a two or three letter prefix to identify them in the Object Style Manager lists) and then import the entire set as a single file into your projects.
I'm afraid that the bad news is that, since you cannot overwrite styles on import, you will need to apply your new set of styles one by one. You can use the Apply This Style To option to change all objects of a given style over to your new style, but it's still a rather tedious process.
There is no downgrade option from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5. You cannot save a Captivate 5 file as Captivate 4 format. No Captivate version has ever been able to do this as far as I can recall.

Changing Object Selection

Per_Address_US (from package: com.sap.xss.hr.per.us.address) to
Per_Address_IN (from package: com.sap.xss.hr.per.in.address)
