Oracle BI Mobile & External Links

Hi All,
I'm trying to link an external content (e.g. http://ww.google.com) from OBIEE.
Using action links I'm able to open a new Tab in Internet Explorer with the new page (e.g. http://ww.google.com).
Using BI Mobile App, when I click the link, I can see the new page straight in the Mobile, but I'm unable to "go Back" to the Dashboard content.
The question is: Do you know how to link external content in BI giving the end user the option to go back to the Dashboard in BI Mobile?
Thanks

Hi
Importing apps into the Apperian platform is very easy. There is no SDK or other limitation that is required for the app to work once deployed with Apperian. Inboarding is a very easy and quick process that requires the binary and some metadata information from the administrator and takes a couple of minutes max.
Apperian also provides a Publishing API (public) that enables one-button integration from a development platform into Apperian. While Oracle BI Mobile App Designer is not yet integrated that way, it is a very quick process that took very little effort with other platforms.
Once inboarded, any process to integrate the app with company policies (via inspection of the app, applying security or adoption policies, integration with corporate identity management, etc.) is done without having to rebuild the app. All in all, it is a very easy process to follow.
Hope this helps!

Error during addition of external link to oracle BPM workspace

Hi All,
I just want to add an external link to oracle BPM workspace and I've followed this tutorial :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/user.1111/e15175/bpmug_ext_apps.htm
but I am neither able to view the required, nor getting any error.
During deployment time I'm only getting this message :
Issues were encountered while parsing this deployment to determine module type. Assuming this is a library deployment.
I'm using the virtual m/c version : oel5u5-64bit-soabpm-11gr1-ps4-fp-Workshop-Exp_2
Please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

What I meant to say is check the logs at the time you are getting the error since sometimes the logs can be huge in size

Create a tab that points to an external link ?

Hi,
Oracle 11g r2.
Apex 4.1.1.00.23.
I need to create a tab that points to an external link (actually a link to our old Forms application).
For the moment, I simply added the tab "manually" in the template by writing the needed HTML after the #TAB_CELLS# substitution string.
It works but it does not allow me to control authorization scheme, etc.
Is there any way I can create a tab without associating it to an existing page, but pointing to an external link ?
Thank you.
Yann.

Hi,
Create page zero to your app if you do not have one.
Create tab that lead to page zero.
Edit tab and check what is tab name.
Tab name (not label) is important as it is reguest when you press tab.
Create application process On Submit: After Page Submission - Before Computations and Validations like
apex_util.redirect_url('http://www.google.com');Set condition to process Request = Expression 1 and enter to Expression 1 your tab name (not label)

When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme

<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Difference between Oracle ADF Mobile and Oracle ADF Mobile Client.

Hi Experts,
I am new ADF Mobile app development. I found docs for Oracle ADF Mobile here as [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/doc.111230/e24475/toc.htm]. I was following it sequentially.
But when i searched for achieving offline data , data synchronization and using database for Mobile apps, i got another docs link [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23549_01/doc.1111/e14826/toc.htm] which is for Oracle® Fusion Middleware ADF Mobile Client .
So I got confused which one to prefer over the other..? Both support on device mobile apps.
do they have any difference over other or data sync & db features are not available for Oracle ADF Mobile..? & available only for Oracle ADF Mobile Client..?
It would be much helpful if someone could provide clear difference between these two technologies.
Thanks,
Praveen S K

I made a topic and the 'same' question popuped up.
( ADF Mobile: Data synchronization )
In Mobile Client iOS is not supported, in ADF Mobile it is. That's the main difference (in my opinion).

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g

Hi,
We implemented Oracle EBS R11i for one of our customers. We also implemented Oracle Mobile Server 9i on Windows Server and Olite 9i on PDAs running Windows.
Now the customer wants to upgrade Oracle EBS to R12 and also upgrade Oracle Mobile Server and Olite 9i to newer versions of Oracle and also want to use Android on the PDAs/Mobile Devices.
Can we implement Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g and Mobile Client as mentioned in these links:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/dms-11g-datasheet-512117.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/overview/index.html
I think it will be a new implementation of Oracle Database Mobile server and Mobile client and not an upgrade.
Any suggestions is welcome.
Regards,
Thiru

MFS embeds Olite into the product. Put another way, through MFS interfaces it defines/determines what functionality of mobile server can be used. Under the MFS configuration the Olite client database is used and the web-to-go app is used, there are no other choices. Very common when a software product includes some other product, it will determine what parts of the embedded product gets used.
Olite 10.3.0.3 as a separately download product used standalone has additional capability. Note: 10.3.0.3 is no longer separately downloadable over OTN.
In DMS 11.x -- we removed Olite client database, rearchitected sync to better fit BDB and allows for BDB and SQLite (either one of those can be used) on the client db. Again, MFS is only compatible with 10.3.0.3/2 right now. That team is a different development team within Oracle, on totally different release schedules than the Database Mobile Server development team. Android support was added in DMS 11.x.
thanks

Prerequisites for oracle adf mobile

Hi,
I need to learn oracle adf mobile technology. I know little bit of java. Means I understand java syntax. I have absolutely no experience in web technologies like jsp,jsf etc.. even css I do not know.
What should be the learning path for me before I actually start reading oracle adf mobile tutorial? I do not even know javascript. What are all the basic stuffs I should know before starting with adf mobile
Thanks
Vadiraj

I'm not sure if your background is sufficient for developing any application. ADF requires you to have at least a good understanding of java. 'A little bit' might not be enough.
Well, you'll find this out yourself pretty fast.
the Oracle ADF Mobile homepage Oracle ADF Mobile has three links on the page showing a demo, an overview (which would be my starting point) and a link to the ADF Academy. This last link is designed to help users developing ADF Mobile applications.
After watching the other videos you can start there. If you don't understand what is going on there you have to deepen your knowledge in this aera first.

External Link - not opening

At first I thought it was my firewall because I haven't had
this problem before, but I found out it wasn't.
I've tried three browsers with the same result (latest flash
version) (Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer), but I still can't
open external links in flash Example: Weather.com's Allergies
Outlook (it says View Complete Pollen Cast) but the link will not
open (unless I Shift-Click). But links that open in a new window
will open just perfectly, links that attempt to open in the same
window (that are external) will not open, no matter what I try to
do. I've disabled Security software, re downloaded and installed
Flash, tried on a different computer (which worked), tried 3
browsers, closed all running (non-essential) processes.
I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with it, but I
did install Vista SP1, then remove it (it didn't work in SP1
either), I'm not sure about before...
Any Suggestions?
If you need them here are system specs:
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate
Default Browser: Firefox 2
Firefox Addons installed (should be irrelevant because it
didn't work in IE, and so forth):
Ad Block Plus, Foxmarks, and NoScript.
Security Suite: Kaspersky
Thank You

I agree with OP. There should be a '''setting''' that makes '''all links that can be opened with an app open in the app immediately '''(or show the dialog OP mentioned).
On a slow mobile connection, waiting for the page to load just to be able to click the icon and open it in the app is painful! It takes ages...

Is there any way to configure iBooks to open an external link (Spotify app) when clicking on a link like "spotify:track:78nySCOb8jDsRufLOyai8r" ?

Surprisingly, clicking on an external link such as "spotify:track:78nySCOb8jDsRufLOyai8r" opens the Spotify app on mobile devices with iOS 7.0.3 but not on computers with Mac OS X 10.9...

thanks for your help.
I may have been confusing a "acrobat bookmark" and a bookmark in a word file that is converted to a pdf and ends up being a
link of the type:
"Go to a page in this document"
which I do not want in my array vs
a link of the action type:
"Open a web link"
Which I do want
John
My code, note how I have to skip pages with "Go to a page in this document" links depending on the document, I would like to use the same code for each document and skip over the "Go to a page in this document" links :
global.ilinkindex = 1;
global.aLinkquads = [ [0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] ];
function GetLinkArray()
global.ilinkindex = 1;
var iTotalLinks=0;
// for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages - 8 ; p++)                   // end before bookmarks for each page of the file x.pdf
// for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // for each page of the file
for ( var p = 23; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // start after bookmarks for each page of the file y.pdf
var cropbox = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
var alinksonpage = this.getLinks(p, cropbox);            // get array of links on page
for ( var ll = 0; ll < alinksonpage.length; ll++)
   var linkquads = alinksonpage[ll].rect;     // get link Quads
   linkquads[4] = p;          // add page number to link Quads array
    global.aLinkquads[global.ilinkindex] = linkquads; // add quads to global link Quads array
    global.ilinkindex++;
iTotalLinks = global.aLinkquads.length - 1;
global.ilinkindex = 1;
app.alert("Number of Links in Document is " + iTotalLinks );

Using oracle adf mobile

It also comes with PhoneGap. which allows you to use any feature your phone offers, like sensors and camera. It's probably the most complete solution for mobile development out there, simply because with Oracle ADF Mobile, you can write Native, Hybrid or Web applications for your smartphone and tablet.
Do you want to take a quick look on what can be done with it? Check out this video!
Now, to start with Oracle ADF Mobile, here are the first steps you will have to go through.
1.     Download Oracle JDeveloper
Go to this link and download the install file for your environment (Windows, Linux-32bit or Generic)
2.     Install JDeveloper (of course)
If you need help on this, look at the documentation (if you've downloaded 11gR2, click here)
3.     Download Oracle ADF Mobile Bundle
This is the download page for Oracle ADF Mobile. Accept the license as usual at the top, and follow with the Download button. It will take you to another page, where you will see a table containing a download link. Click on it and it will start downloading a ZIP file.
4.     Start JDeveloper
Start Oracle JDev. It may self update. Restart the IDE if you are asked to.
5.     Go to Help > Check for updates
6.     Click Next and make sure you are at the "Source" tab
7.     Select "Install From Local File"
8.     Select the Oracle ADF Mobile ZIP you downloaded on step 3
9.     Finish the process
Now you have JDeveloper with Oracle ADF Mobile sucessfully installed!

External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

How to force external links to open in new browser window/tab?

Greetings. I'm here because searching elsewhere kept coming up with references to javascript. I've created an interactive PDF with both internal and external links. It works just fine when viewed in either Acrobat or Reader. However, it is being downloaded to users' browsers and when they access the external URLs, the new sites replace the existing page in the same window.
Is there a simple way for me to include an action in the PDF prior to distribution that will force it to open external URLs in a new browser window or tab?
And for the record, I barely know how to spell Javascript, much less how to write or implement it. So if there is a simple solution, I hope you can also help walk me through the steps to implement it.
Thanks a ton.

There are two issues here:
- How to do it using JS
- How to do it in a non-Adobe browser plugin
The first is pretty straight forward. You use a code like this, replacing the dummy URL with your own:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);
The second issue is more problematic, and in fact there isn't really a solution to it. If the plugin used supports this method then it will work, if not, then you're out of luck. Unfortunately, outside of the Adobe software I don't think that any other plugin supports it.

How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

'''traysh''',
Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
'''cor-el''',
So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

I have multiple firefox profiles.
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Firefox is running fine.
How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

You say
''I have multiple firefox profiles. <br />
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Common_causes
You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

Is there a limit for external links in TOC using RoboHelp 9.2?

Hi,
This is my first time posting to the Adobe forums. Here is my problem.
I have been maintaining help projects using RoboHelp 9.2 for quite some time now to generate WebHelp. I now have four large projects that are linked through a URL in each project's TOC. Example: I have projects A B C D. In A's TOC, I include a link to B C D default topics. In B's TOC, I include a link to A C D default topics. And so on ... The fourth project (D) is new.
The problem I've encountered is with the image appearing in the TOC next to the external link entry for project D in the generated WebHelp. The image showing up for project D is different from the other two, even though the properties for that page are exactly the same as the other two. This happens in all three remaining projects (A B C). Even when I change the image (from the image index), the same image (i.e. the standard image for a topic page) appears regardless.
What should appear in all cases is image 13.gif.
(I'll have to figure out later why 19.gif is selected in the properties dialog, whereas 13.gif is actually showing up in WebHelp. Doh.)
Any ideas?
thanks,
denise

No. Time Machine should be on a separate HDD and will take care of deleting backups when necessary on that drive.

I would consider installing a larger internal HDD. Capacities to 1 TB are now available.

All Macs using Time Machine will experience the same conditions. The problem is that many users do not under stand what 'Other' is and that leads to confusion. There are many essential OS files in that category that should not be touched as well as some user files. The issue is not to reduce 'Other' as such, but reduce the total amount of data on the HDD if space is becoming a premium.
