Portal Favoriate doesn't display items

Hi.
I used "Add to Portal Favoriate" function for adding iview into Portal Favoriate but Portal Favoriate displayed blank.
So, I pressed "Open in new windows" and I got new windows with iview entry.
Why Portal Favoriate doesn't display iview entry in spite of having iview entry ?
Is there any config for that ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold,
is the state of the Portal Favorites iView "Open" or "Closed" (see button next to the iView options)? If the iView is closed you don't see any entries.

How to force Portal not to display item content for a custom item

Hi,
I've read in several places questions about rendering an Item in a custom way, without letting portal
display the item content, if you read along I've discovered a SIMPLE WAY to force portal not to
display the content item.
As per bugs and requests on metalink it seemed that in many versions of Oracle Portal (mine is 9.0.4.1)
this is impossible, since even if we remove the "Item Content" from the list of displayed attributes in the
region, Portal does display it anyway, just after every other Attribute.
- Re: using an item type procedure
- Metalink BUG # 3998251 "ENH: SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIDE "ITEM CONTENT" FOR TEXT ITEMS OR NEED A NEW ITEM TYP" and is being looked into internally whether it is feasible to include this in future releases.
- Metalink Doc ID:      Note:290534.1          Subject:      Unable to Hide the "Item Content" Attribute for a Text Item
Mine scenario was the usual one:
-oracle portal 9.4.0.1
-a custom item based on custom text (so as to have the RTE to edit HTML).
-A few attributes that help me define the class of an enclosing DIV tag that I wanted to put (a class and an ID)
-A plsql call associated to the custom item, with the flag "display inline" checked
-The dirty HTML generated by the built-in Oracle RTE (with BODY and HTML tags enclosing the actual HTML)
-The region that will contain the item is set so that just the "Function Call" is (or should be) displayed
I wanted to control entirely the display of the item text, while enclosing it in a custom DIV tag.
After a few tries, one of which involved forcing an HTML comment around the item content that Portal stubbornly
displayed, I've discovered this simple way. I don't know hom much this way is portable, but is done entirely with the APIs.
In the stored procedure that displays the item, that I encolose, i just do:
1) retrieved the ITEM querying WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS;
2) updated the ITEM via WWSBR_API.MODIFY_ITEM, passing as display_otpion the value WWSBR_API.FULL_SCREEN!!
Here I try a little explanation:
An item just created has FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=0. This way the stored procedure is executed
AND the item content is displayed.
WIth the modify_item, the item gets FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=2 !! This seems strange since the docs
tells that inplace can be 0 or 1. But this works.
I've played with the WWV_THINGS table directlry, and setting INPLACE to 0, 2 or 3 works as well, while
if it is set to 1, it behave the usual way.
The trick is to have FULLSCREEN to 1 while INPLACE is not set to 1.. and this was the easiest solution.
I'd like to receive a feedback from Oracle regarding this behaviour.

SAPUI5 Application doesn't display in Portal Content Area

Hallo Guys
We are developing a SAPUI5 application that needs to be displayed inside the portal.
The problem is that the SAPUI5 app doesn't display in in the content area, no erors, just a blank page, you have to set the iview to open in a seperate headerless window, then it works. But it needs to work in the content area.
Our findings: a possible cause is that the IE mode when inside the Portal content area is IE5 Quirks, and when it displays in a new window, the mode changes to a more recent and acceptable mode for SAPUI5, IE9.
Is there any solution to this? We get the same result with both URL iView and using the SAPUI5 iView in content provided by SAP. We are on NW 7.4
Regards
Antonette

Hi Antonette,
As Lawrence explained the reason is indeed that quirks and standards mode can't run together on the same page (not only in portal but it's a limitation by MS).
Since your framework page is in IE5 quirks mode the UI5 application doesn't run in the content area, you can run it by selecting in the iView properties "Launch in a new headerless window (strandards)", that will open the UI5 application in a new window and will work.
If you wish to run UI5 applications in the content area you can get latest SP of 7.4 and there you will have a new framework page: standards AFP, basically an AFP framework page that works in standards mode.
In that framework page you can run UI5 applications in the content area, however trying to run old applications (HTMLB, not WD) may fail, for WD you have a paramater you need to pass called sap-ie, passing it with the value of "Edge" will make sure WD applications run in standards mode as well.
When running the AFP in standards mode you will need to open your HTMLB and other old applications in a new headerless window or new window so you can see the content.
Hope this helped,
BR,
Saar

"Recent items" doesn't display servers

"Recent items" shows applications and documents - but doesn't display servers. In System Preferences Appearance I have display 10 items set for them all. I tried trashing com.apple.recentitems.plist - but it hasn't helped.
It used to show everything correctly - but after I cleared the menu - the "servers" bit stopped working.

Hi John,
First of all, you have connected to a server(s) since you cleared the menu? If that's the case, I believe that "Recent Items" is a function of Finder so try this:
Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.

Genius Mix item doesn't display in sidebar

On both my Macs - a Mac mini and a MacBook Air - the Genius Mix item does not display in the sidebar. I've tried turing off and on Genius, updating it, etc, and nothing works.
This did work when the feature was first released, and I turned it off after a while. It's odd that it simply doesn't display, even though the Genius feature itself works fine (within the limits of the music it recognizes).
Any ideas on how to get it to display?

JSP doesn't display Oracle varchar2 Items on screen

I recently bought new laptop with windows XP professional with service pack 2. Loaded Oracle 10g Client on it. I have a Dell server with Linux and Oracle database 9i. Accessed the this database through new laptop using SQL plus window and works OK. (With that it is sure that my hosts file updated correct with proper IP address of server and tnsnames.ora files).
I have created a JSP application to access this database. It works perfectly OK in my old laptop with Windows XP home with service pack1. The connections are established through ODBC Data Source Administrator (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources) by adding a System Data Source. The application works perfectly OK and displays all fields that I intended and coded for. Only thing is it has Oracle 9i client.
But the same application in the new laptop doesn't work properly. It doesn't display Varchar2 values. It displays only Number and Date data types. This shows it is connecting to the database (oracle 9i). But varchar2 values are not displayed. The connections are established through ODBC Data Source Administrator.
I'm using Tomcat server (jakart-tomcat-5.0.27) on both the laptop. Please help me here.

Suggestion: don't use the ODBC driver to connect to Oracle. I presume you are using sun's JDBC-ODBC bridge?
Oracle have got a reasonably good 100% java JDBC driver which is all you need, and is a lot better than the ODBC bridge. I would recommend using the Oracle thin driver.
Your java code should remain largely unchanged. The only thing you would need to alter would be
1 - driver class being loaded (oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver)
2 - driver url (default would be something like: jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:ORCL)
3 - You would need the oracle jdbc driver in the classpath (ojdbc14.jar) You can find that in [ORA_HOME]/jdbc/lib
If you've written your database connection using a JNDI datasource, then all you would need to change would be the configuration in your tomcat server.
Hope this helps,

Portlet Item Attr: "Link That Displays Item in New Browser Window"

I have been searching the forums for a similar experience, but haven't found anything quite like this:
I have a couple of portlets. One is a Discoverer Portlet, the other is something more basic: The "Developer News" portlet from the 9iAS Community portlet provider.
After defining the portlets and looking at them, I edit the page and click the Edit button (little pencil) to edit the attributes.
There are radio buttons for Display Options.
One option is: "Link that Displays Item in New Browser Window."
When I select this, OK, and then go back to the page, **the portlet doesn't show at all any more! There is no link, no nothing. Note that I have defined a Display Name, which should be the text for the link.
It would seem that this feature flat out doesn't work.
This technique for a popup works fine for an "Item" defined in an item region.
Anyone?

Yes -- I did do that after reading an article on metalink about such issues.
This actually changes the problem.
When I add the "Display name and image link" attribute to the region, I now do get a link.
However, clicking it brings up an undefined Discoverer portlet.
It works great for non-Disco portlets. For instance, I was able to pop up the "Developer News" portlet from the Oracle 9iAS Community portlet provider.
I think the problem is that the link that Disco produces does not provide enough information to bring up the particular portlet. For instance, the URL does not have the workbook name, the worksheet name, the parameter values, etc.
If anyone uses Disco w/ the portal, I would be curious to hear if anyone can reproduce this apparent bug / limitation.

We've found that the following setting doesn't seem to work.
Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window
Even with that set on items, items ALWAYS open up in the same window,..not a new one.
Has anyone else experienced this or is it just us?
thanks

Hi, this is a "bug". You need patch 5026969 to solve it.

"0" doesn't display before comma in float numbers...

Hi fellow APEX users,
Have you ever experienced this issue with float numbers in your APEX forms?
When I type float numbers between -1 and 1 in forms (e.g. 0,7 or -0,2), and after having submitted the form then reloaded it for editing, "0" doesn't display before the comma.
For example I got:
*,7* instead of *0,7*
-,2 instead of -0,2
etc.
If I look in SQL Workshop, I see the same (no "0") but I'm pretty sure that the value is properly recorded in the database.
The thing is that it's not very nice for the end users, as they can think the value is wrong.
Does anybody have a solution to display proper float numbers with "0" in the forms?
For info I use the NUMBER type.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Romain.
Edited by: romain.apex on Feb 5, 2012 8:30 PM

Hi Peter!
Of what type is your item? Display as text or do you use the item value for further computations.
If it is only for means of displaying the correctly formatted number, I'd change the item source to a query and would equip the desired column with a to_char function like:
select to_char(str_be_main, 'fm999G999G990D00') from yourtable where ...You could also use a post calculation computation and enforce the format there:
to_char(:P2027_YOUR_ITEM,'fm999G999G990D00')Maybe this helps!
Brgds,
Seb

Doesn't display album covers for individually selected songs. Why?

I just synced up my new iPod Classic and am surprised that it doesn't display album covers when I individually select songs or when it shuffles songs. The artwork is there - it displays them in Cover Flow or when I select songs from the Album list, but not when I select songs from the Song list or when it shuffles. Why not? Is there a setting I need to fix?

You're adding the artwork incorrectly.
Instead of selecting the first track of the album, select the complete album. Then select File/Get Info and answer "yes" to the "multpile items" question. The Artwork box is now on the Info tab instead of its own tab. Paste the artwork into that one box and that will add it to the whole album.
I can't be precise about the detail, but as far as I know, there will be one piece of artwork and iTunes and your iPod will refer to that one picture for each track, so it will not be taking up extra storage space.
Pasting the artwork into each track individually will drive you crazy - and I suspect it will take up extra space.
(If fellow "discussions user" tt2 adds to this post, I'm pretty sure he will confirm {or not if I'm wrong} what I've said about the extra space used if you paste into each track individually.)

Some browser doesn't display the MW page correctly

after installing Maintenance Wizard 2.17, some browser doesn't display the MW page correctly, some menu function is missing. The display problem is not for everyone, some user's browser have no problem. Some user's IE are displaying it correctly. i.e. one user has both IE and firefox working, however, after she clear her java cache, both browser refuses to display the MW page correctly.
The resolution of PCs is set to the same value. however, the size of the text isn't. after changing the size of the text, some of our pc start to work. The display web page for MW doesn't show the right most menu item. After resize the screen, we find it is because of the blue frame for the MW page that stop to dynamical stretch up to 20 inches.
The menu item is been streched out of the blue frame, they are no longer displayable
any ideas?

We have the same problem.
And find it is caused by a combination of your screen resolution, font size and browser window size.
The blue frame that displays the Oracle Mainentance Wizard banner doesnt dynamical strech to the full window size.
After experiment with it, MW can display much better in our case.

Outlook Web Access doesn't display when in a Page

Hi guys,
I have set up an IView to access Outlook Webmail, as per the normal help documents, and the IView works perfectly - displays my Inbox and everything. If I add the IView into a workset, users are able to view their Inbox too.
However, If I create a Page and put the IView on that page, the Inbox no longer displays - it just has a blank window where the Inbox should appear. Right-clicking on the blank page and going to Properties, I can see that its going to the correct web address.
My question is, why doesn't the Inbox display when the IView is in a Page?
Thanks,
Michael.
PS, Here's something unusual... In Content Administration --> Portal Content, when I right-click on the Page and choose "preview" it displays the Inbox properly. However, it doesn't display when its accessed from a Workset.

Yes, I have added the Page to the Workset, and also the IView to the Page.
If I set up a temporary workset, And assign the 2 objects to it (the IView and the Page), they appear as links at the top of my Portal. When I click the link assigned to the IView, the Inbox is shown. When I click the link assigned to the Page, it only shows a blank window instead of the Inbox.

NWDS doesn't display "Window Preferences" Options

Hi Experts,
I used to work in Netweaver Developer Studio (NWDS) without any problem, but now when I open "Window >> Preferences" Options, it doesn't display anything. It shows no options on the left side (white navigation panel) and no options on the right side (gray window), but the buttons on the bottom are displayed ok. It is very strange; I can't remember any configuration I have done that could cause this behavior.
Also, when I hit "File >> New >> Project", it doesnt show any portal options (Portal Application, etc.).
Does anyone have been through this before?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Raphael Barboza

I'm not sure why this would be happening however since its such a simple task I would first I would re-install to you current patch level. Also, perhaps check your plugins against another NWDS installation.
Cheers
Dan

Cover Art Doesn't Display for New CDs, Podcasts, etc.

Cover art doesn't display for new items that I add to my 60GB iPod from iTunes. Older items are fine but new CDs, podcasts or songs purchased from iTunes don't display cover art on my iPod. The cover art is there when viewed in iTunes but just doesn't display when they are being played. The problem seems to have started about a month ago. Anyone experience something similar?

Thanks for the suggestion but.... it actually made the problem worse. When I went to the music tab I found that the "Display Cover Art" check box was unchecked so I clicked in the box and the fun began. First thing that happened was the iTunes status box displayed "Deleting covert art from iPod" (definately not what I would have expected) for about a minute then it changed to "Optimizing cover art on your iPod" (that seemed like a step in the right direction) but then I got an error message saying "Can't sync iPod. Unknow error". Closing out the error message ended the process. I was able to eject my iPod after that without any issues but now even more covert art doesn't display (even though when viewed through iTunes its there).
