Popups / User Prompts In Mobile Projects?

Is there a quick way prompt the user in mobile projects? For example, if a user forgets to enter a field in a form before clicking the submit button. I've reviewed some of the mobile project examples and noticed that it's usually handled in a separate view (the Employee Database comes to mind). Is there a way to do it with a popup of some sort rather than pushing another view???
Thanks in advance!

Anyone???

1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

Hello,
for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
Sample Report Definition
...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
Problem is:
I would like to define for
Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
and for
Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row 2] in Report
any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
- but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
Formula:
Sum([1])

Facebook actionscript API not working with Flex 4.5 Mobile Project

This is the error because the runtime does not find any way to call Java script that usally is called through External interface. So my guess is you are using a AIR project. U just need to download the latest swc http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/downloads/list for destop in your case and don't forget to but FBJSBridge.js to put in your source that will b used to help AS call Facebook API from AIR runtime
Hope it make some sense

Possible to obtain phone IMEI number with flex mobile project?

Just like the title says, is it possible to obtain phone IMEI number with flex mobile project? If not, does anyone know of another method to get a unique number to identify the phone being used (on android and iphone)? I'm asking because I'm building a chat application, and I need a way to potentially ban users based on something other than an IP address.
edit: now that I think about it, an IMEI number might not be the best way, since wifi tablets may not hav an IMEI number, anyone have any other idea how I could get a number to identify a device that would already be present, because i'm afraid if its something generated by me, a simple uninstall and re-install could circumvent a ban.

If this is an Android project, you can use this ANE:
http://blog.snowflax.com/native-imei-action-script-extension-for-android/
I have verified that it does work and provides the IMEI. For cases where there is no IMEI ( bc the device is not a mobile phone, or it uses IMSI instead ), you can just bypass the device id check with your database, and enable full functionality.
Although this is not full-proof, it will nevertheless screen a lot of devices. With this, you can keep track of the number of app installs / resets, and add a 'banned' flag if you want to in your DB -- if you see unusal activity ( like: unsually high number of re-installs ).
-----> UPDATE:
I just found this ANE which includes a class called 'SystemProperties', to find the IMEI/IMSI/serial/phone number on Android, and the MAC address on iOS:
https://github.com/mateuszmackowiak/NativeAlert
I have verified that the iOS part works, but haven't tried the Android side, yet. Note: for iOS, it will also give you a UUID ( even though the object tag claims it is the UDID -- it's not ), which is worthless as a persistent means of identifying the device. since it gets reset on each app re-install. So, for iOS, you have to use the MAC address, unless you are willing to store/restore the UUID into EncryptedLocalStore, as suggested by a user in:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6794493/get-unique-identifier-mac-address-udid-etc-in-a dobe-air-for-ios

Why am I getting-"The ExternalInterface is not available in this container" in Flex Mobile Project

I am using StageWebView to show an HTML page. I want to call a function in my flex mobile project to be called from a JS function. Using ExternalInterface, I have
   in Flex -
    ExternalInterface.addCallback("myFunction",myFunc);
   in JS -
        function thisMovie(movieName) {
           if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
             return window[movieName];
           } else {
             return document[movieName];
       function showAlert()
              alert("Going to call AS function");
            thisMovie("ShowLocalHTML").myFunction("Hello");
              return false;
I am getting "Error: Error #2067: The ExternalInterface is not available in this container. ExternalInterface requires Internet Explorer ActiveX, Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.5 and greater, or other browsers that support NPRuntime." when trying to run the application.
And my project targets Android platform. And I have Mozilla, Chrome installed on my desktop - although I am not user if that is relevant to the problem.
Please help in resolving this issue.

Is there an alternative?
I want to display a local HTML file and then allow for JS to Flex communication. I am new to Flex and AS. As per my understanding, StageWebView is the only way to
show a local HTML file in a mobile project. If the script interface is not available - then I cannot achieve JS-to-Flex communication. So is there any other way to do this??
Please help ...else I will have to abandon my foray into Flex, AS and go back to Android Java.

Authentication Prompt on Mobile Devices

On my public facing SharePoint 2013 site, I have anonymous authentication enabled, however mobile devices are prompted to authenticate credentials when they visit the site.
All non-mobile devices the site without receiving the authentication prompt, regardless of the browser it uses. Mobile Browser view is deactivated.
I did trace the connection through Fiddler and it looks as though I am getting 3 401 errors when the mobile browser tries to load the page. These errors are triggered when the browser tries to access a css and 2 js files. When I traced the connection
from a pc, I received 404 not found errors when the browser tries to access these files. I'm trying to find where those files are located at, to check to see if they are there or if permissions to that folder/files is the issue, but am still trying to get
an understanding of where the files are stored (I'm still a SharePoint newbie). Based on the info from Fiddler, they are stored at /ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js HTTP/1.1, however I don't see that folder in the site contents and structure when I search the site settings
of the SharePoint page.
Lastly, mobile devices had been able to access the page fine for several months, however several server updates and patches were applied to our SharePoint environment recently, which coincided with this issue starting.
Thank you for any insight you might be able to give!

Hi,
According to your description, it continues to prompt for authentication When Windows users tries to connect from mobile devices.
For your issue:
Close all instances of your browser, restart your browser.
If you use apple products with ios8. The problem is Safari.
It works fine under ios8 when using Chrome.
You can change windows authentication to basic authentication.
For more information about Troubleshooting HTTP 401 errors in IIS, refer to the article:

Get User Prompt with cancel show always

I have some tasks running at user logoff, as we know, when shutdown process is initiated we don't' know ZEN can make all those logoff tasks completed. So, before shutdown I have to logoff and then after some time cap shutdown. Also, I must have dialog for users who actually is logged in to cancel this process. So, I have within one bundle logoff and shutdown actions which should work when user is logged in or not. Easier is to offer for users just one dialog to cancel this process, in my case I have to do this twice. Also, I have to run this bundle on WXP and W7 machines, well, not the same bundle.

You could modify the source code to make it work as you wish :)

Can't convert Flex Mobile project to desktop project

I'm using the Flash Builder 4.6 trial, and I'm very new to flex development. I've been asked to convert an existing Flex Mobile project (appears to have been developed in Flash Builder 4.5) into an AIR desktop app.
The project imported without complaint. However, the Add/Change Project Type > Convert to Flex Desktop Project menu item is disabled.
I created a blank Flex Mobile project, then a blank Flex web project, then a blank ActionScript project. It's greyed out for those, too. I checked with the projects closed and open; the rest of the items on that submenu are enabled for all projects when closed.
Is this feature disabled in the trial version? Is something else going on?

Clearly the device from verizon works, I would try to contact a computer tech to repair your computer
Really it should be as simple as turn on, connect, go. If it isn't there is a break down somewhere in that computer

Crystal Report not pulling over user prompts

I am having issues with a Crystal Report that is pulled over into a third party CRM db. I've already checked the Forums and the SAP notes but have had no luck in finding any help. Our Crystal Report pulls up fine on the client, but it is missing the user prompts (parameters) when it comes through. We don't get any errors what so ever. The user is supposed to put in the date range that they would like to see. Other reports which don't have any prompts work fine. We've run the reports in Crystal on the server and they work just fine. We are just having this problem whenever the client is trying to run the report. When we've talked to our technical support for our CRM db they said we are supposed to get a lightning bolt and then when we click on it, it will prompt the user. However, the lightning bolt doesn't even show up when the report is pulled up. I'm not sure is there is something being done wrong within our report, or if this is an issue with the Active X controls. We are using Crystal Reports XI on an SQL 2005 server. Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm very new to this so if someone could please point me in the right direction it would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello,
The Lightning bolt is the report refresh button in CR 10. CR 11 has blue circular arrows, one on top of the other. Or you can simply press the F5 key to refresh. It may be you are mixing versions or something else.
I suggest you work with your tech support to figure out how your application should work and what is posibly missing. If you have the report Designer and they work there then your app or DB has issues.
We don't know your app or how it all is supposed to work so not much we can suggest other than to get your support to help you.
If it's a WEB app then possibly the you have the Pop-up blocker enabled, the Parameter UI would considered a pop-up.
You relaly need to get your CRM support guys to help you first. If thye can't figure it out then ask them to put a call into support.
Thank you

Is there a way to use Stage3D in Flex Mobile projects on iPad?

When I create a project of type "Action Script Mobile Project" the Stage3D works on iPad, Android device and in the AIR desktop simulator.
But when I create a project of type "Flex Mobile Project" it works in the desktop simulator and on Android device but does not work on iPad.
When running on iPad the stage.stage3Ds[] collection is empty.
Is it a sort of limitation made by intent? Or a bug? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?
What I actually need is an ability to render offscreen bitmaps with GPU in an application that uses Spark UI. This is why I need Flex Mobile project.
My configuration is the following:
iPad with retina display

How to restrict the user to change the project structure but not the documents?

Hi,
I have created one project assigning different users in Solution manger. I want to risitrict some of the users to change the project structure but simultaneously allwoing the project documents to be created, edited or deleted using solar01 under Project documentation tab. For that I have followed the steps provided in the follwoing link.

I am able to restrict the users to change the project structure, but I am not able to allow access to the project documents. It gives me the message "You are not authorised to change the project". This fulfills my one of the requirements. But, Is there any way to restrict the user to change the project structure but not the documents?. Any help will be apperitiated.
Thanks,

Hi Rutvik,
Basically there are 2 different authorization role ...you should look for and customize as per requirement in Z* namespace.
role - SAP_SOLAR01_ALL
this take care of objects in Solar01 like tab access etc
role -SAP_SOL_KW_ALL
this takes care of entire documentation within solman
hope this helps

Grouping of data based on user prompt having a list of dimensions

Hi All,
I have a requirement to be able to group data in OBIEE request or Dashboard based on user prompt selection.
The prompt should list the Dimensions Available
e.g.
Dimensions: Product, Region, Employee
Fact: Sales
The report is to display sales total for the quarters of the current year.
The user prompt should list the available dimensions (In this case - Location, Employee and Product).
If I choose Product, the data is to be grouped by Products - Layout having a simple tabular grouping with Product names as Group headings.
Similarly any other choice of Dimension from the prompt should group the data by that dimension and have the dimension values used in the group headings.
How could we implement this? I understand this type of requirement (ability to choose dimension) is met in some OLAP reporting tools.
I have used multiple views and the View Selector for similar requirements previously, but looking for a dynamic solution here.
Any pointers or solution will be great.
Thanks,
Kiran

Selecting a column in Answers report based on user prompt/ apply filter

I need to do the following in OBIEE Answers report (version 10.1.3.4.1):
1) Think of a simple table with dim TX_type and some measures like month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
so the fact table looks like (column names) tx_type, month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
2) I need to select the measure column based on a user dashboard prompt, prompt populates a presentation variable var_month = jan or feb or mar
3) I need to select the correct measure (one of these month_jan, month_feb, month_mar) and then apply column filter based on the dim TX_type to split the values of these into multiple columns for report. So the report may look like (in Answers)
Sales , Tax, overheads
where Sales may be defined as sum(month_jan) where rows have TX_type = 'sales'
where Tax may be defined as sum(month_feb) where rows have TX_type = 'tax'
where overheads may be defined as sum(month_mar) where rows have TX_type = 'overheads'
IF the user selects jan
IF user selects Feb then the 3 report columns are based on month_feb and likewise for month_mar
I cannot use column selector option as the report column further apply filter in column filter definitions in Answers...
4) When I try to build the column filter using a presentation variable (var_month), the presentation variable is not getting populated in the column filter.
For e.g. IF var_month = 'jan'
THEN month_jan (let us assume the logical column name is month_jan too)
ELSE month_feb and so on...
However, the var_month always shows 0 in the IF clause. If we used a repository variable instead, it works fine. But since repostory variable cannot be changed on the fly (by user prompt) it is not usable.
We cannot change fact table defintion....and we have 12 measures column and about 8-10 different colum filter based report columns using this measure.

Hi shyamvaran,
have you thought about a SQL statement in the prompt, something like:
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Jan' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Feb' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Mar' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Apr' end
FROM "Subject Area"
etc...
Use this to give you the 12 values for your months then give the prompt column a presentation variable name and set a default value in the 'Default To'. Also set the same default value for the filter.
A couple of points:
1. If you're transforming the presentation variable from 'Jan' to 'month_jan' you may need to edit the syntax for the filter column (not using the dialog box).
2. If you're transforming the behaviour of a dimension / measure column in the report, have you specified the syntax correctly, e.g. sum('@{pres_var}')?
Hope this helps,
Justin
