PortalPath for Mydashboard is not working when the username contains a "/"

Hi,
Our OBIEE application is integrated with a java web application. We are providing links to the dashboards, Mydashboard, Answers and Administration using java and passing the credentials and portal paths to OBIEE using java.
Every other link is working fine, except the Mydahsboard link. When an username contains a "/" (Ex: xyz/adc.admin), then the mydashboard link is thorwing a path not found exception.
We tried escaping the user name, encoding the username. Nothing worked.
Finally removed the portal path from the URL and it is working fine, but lead to another problem.
The other problem is that, if the user clicks the Mydashboard link and then Dashboard link and again mydashboard link, then the dashboard is coming up, but not the mydashboard.
As we have removed the portalpath from the url, I guess the portal path of the dashboard is getting cached somewhere and it is being used even for the mydashboard.
Any ideas, how to get this worked would be appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Why do you need user names with /? If this is due to SSO try using the stripWindowsDomain option in your SSO configuration. See this post:
http://www.clearpeaks.com/blog/oracle-bi-ee/configuring-obiee-to-work-in-single-sign-on-sso-environment-on-iis
Otherwise you are going to have to convert it to something else or you will have plenty of problems in OBIEE. We ended up replacing it by "_" (underscore) and that worked fine for us.

Vertical Elasticity on Field is not working when the data contains - in it.

Hi,
I have a report which has to print a large invoice number(around 30 characters) per invoice line, but I got only space for 12-14 characters, so I have set the vertical elasticity property of the field to Expand which makes the data to wrap to the next line.
But if the data contains any '-' character in it, the data wraps to the next line even though there is enough space on the current line.
Sample outputs:
When the vertical elasticity is set to Expand
<p>
Invoice Number Invoice Description
123456789023 First Invoice on first line
345678957694
347634763476
12345678-     Second Invoice but the number gets wrapped because of the hyphen
345734573476
569456573456
When the vertical elasticity is set to Fixed
Invoice Number Invoice Description
123456789023 First Invoice on first line
12345678-345     Second Invoice but the number does not get wrapped after hyphen
</p>
Is it a bug on reports editor, how do I avoid this?
I would like to see the output like the following,
Invoice Number Invoice Description
123456789023 First Invoice on first line
345678957694
347634763476
12345678-345     Second Invoice number with correct format.

PS: The version of the Report Builder is 10.1.2.0.2
Thanks in Advance,

It looks as if the logic that Oracle Reports uses to determine where to break the line is interpreting the "-" character differently from other characters. This is probably because it is used (at least in English) to break words at the end of a line (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen#Justification_and_line-wrapping).
One workaround might be to replace "-" character with another character (or more) that looks the same (or similar), but that Oracle Reports does not interpret differently from other characters. For me (on Windows), CHR(173) seems to work. However, whether or not it works for you will depend on whatever character set(s) you're using. The same goes for the Unicode characters like U+2010 (hyphen), U+2011 (non-breaking hyphen), and U+2212 (minus).
For example, in your data model, you might try replacing your current invoice number column with an expression that looks something like this:
REPLACE(YOUR_INVOICE_NUMBER_COLUMN, '-', CHR(173))
Hope this helps.

Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:

The ELResolvers for JSF were not registered with the JSP container

I'm trying to configure mojarra on tomcat6 (because I want to use Elastic Beanstalk). tomcat complains:

App Insights for web application not working when deployed to Dev server

App Insights is not sending telemetry data for ASP.NET MVC web *requests* (page views from the JS instrumentation are fine) when the app is deployed to the Dev or Test IIS servers. On local IIS express it works perfectly fine. I have
no idea how to troubleshoot this problem.
Bert Jackson

- the AI.config file is both in the root of the site, and the /bin folder (which was confusing the other day). Both are correct.
- it looks like a local browser can go to https://dc.services.visualstudio.com (it results in a 403 since its just a GET to the root). During this test, I found that this server did NOT have the Root trust certificate (Baltimore cybertrust), which
would cause problems when using IE locally to browse the app; the javascript AI logging was not working, because it couldnt fetch the ai.0.js file). I got the proper root certificate installed on the server, but request logging still not working. I
dont believe the firewall is a problem.
- I've verified that all binaries are indeed deployed in to the bin folder on the server
- web.config does have the AI http module; I've verified via logging that the ApplicationInsightsWebTracking is loaded. However, I have custom Context/Telemetry initializers, and their Initialize() methods are *NOT* being called when deployed on the
server. I've tried both ways of registering the initializers; via code in the Application_Start() event and also in the ApplicationInsights.config file.
I don't know how to troubleshoot any further, to figure out if AppInsights is actually *trying* to send telemetry out and failing, or if its not actually even trying.

Rollback is not working when "The server threw an exception" error

Hi
These are my transaction steps
1) Call the StartTransaction method of the company object (Function AA)
2) Add Goods Issue (Rollback if error occurs) (Function BB)
3) Create record with oRecordSet object (Rollback if error occurs) (Function BB)
4) Add Journal Entry (Rollback if error occurs) (Function CC)
5) Add Goods Receipt (Rollback if error occurs) (Function DD)
6) Create record with oRecordSet object (Rollback if error occurs) (Function DD)
7) Call EndTransaction (with commit) to complete the whole process (Function AA)
These are working fine usually.
But problem is when user has "The server threw exception" error message.
Whole transaction must be rollback but still step 2 and 3 records are exist on DB.
Rollback is working fine with another error messages.
I programmed call Rollback transaction if calling function has any error.
Function BB, CC and DD are calling from Function AA.
I never have "The server threw an exception" error on my development machine with B1 2005 PL 51.
This is happened only LIVE server with B1 2005 PL 51.
B1 was upgraded from PL29 to PL51 recently becaseu of Locking issue.
Then Locking issue was solved but have "The server threw an exception" error and rollback is not working properly.
I hope someone can help me!!!!.
Thank you
2) & 3) steps

Hi Joanne,
There are 2 things to check here.
1. is the Transaction
2. is the RPC_E_SERVERFAULT.
for the first one,
in step 2, just before you add the Good Issue, can you try to check first if you are still in a transaction ?
Just to make sure.
If it is, maybe you should open a ticket to SAP support.
BTW, Which version is your Live environment ?
for the second one,
try to search the error in this forum. there is a lot of posting about this.
The problem might also go away if you upgraded your SBO.
Please search and see if there is anything the same with your problem.
Regards
Edy

WMI InvokeMethod for StartService does not work when used with ManagementOperationObserver on IIS

Hi,
I am using .net 4.5 and C# to remotely restart the services. I am using WMI to do this task. This code works when called from windows application on the machine, but same code when used inside web application it gives exception of invalid parameter.
We saw it log error in System Event log
The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{49BD2028-1523-11D1-AD79-00C04FD8FDFF}

For web apps the context will be the context of the app pool. Unless you set the app pool to run as a user account that has admin privileges on the remote machine then you won't be able to control the services on a remote machine. If you have
enabled Win auth such that the app runs in the context of the remote user then you might need to turn on delegation otherwise the hop won't work.
Note that if you are using Win auth then consider using ServiceController instead which provides the same functionality as WMI but with a cleaner syntax. This wouldn't work if you need to impersonate a user though.

[Forum FAQ] Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks Item not working when the option Run whether user is logged on or not is selected

Scenario:
We use one of the following Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks item to deploy a task to clients:
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
(Note that on some platforms, "At least Windows 7" is replaced with "Windows Vista and later.")
After designating a user account to run the task, we select “Run whether user is logged on or not” option, and “The Do not store password…”
check box is automatically grayed out (See Figure 1).
Figure 1
After finishing configuring the task item, on a client, we run command
gpupdate/force to forcefully update group policy. However, on the client, when we check if the task is listed in Task Scheduler snap-in, the task is not displayed, and when we run
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result for troubleshooting, we see an error as similar as shown in the following figure (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Cause:
To make the scheduled task run whether the user is logged on or not, we need to store the password of the designated user account. However, for the content of the scheduled
task item is stored in Sysvol where it’s not safe to store passwords, this function has been deprecated.
Workaround:
We can run the task with system account
NT Authority\System, or we can use specific user accounts to run the task when the given user is logged on. (See Figure 3)

Hello Everyone,
Succeeded !!!!!!!
Even i was struggling with this same Problem to execute a batch via Window scheduler and set the setting to "Run whether the user is logged in or not".
I tried many time but the batch runs with " Run
whether user is logged on" and not with "Run
whether user is logged on or not".
what i discovered is that there was one mapped drive
path in my batch file which was not the complete path like y:/AR.qvw actually what i did i changed that map path to the complete path like \\servnamename\d$\AR.qvw and the batch executed successfully with the setting "Run
whether user is logged on or not"
The
conclusion is that check the dependency of the script on external resources because when you check this option "Run
whether user is logged on or not" It actually conflicts. This my discovery.
If
you have any question write me on [email protected]
Thanks

Cascading LOV not working when the page is public

Hi ,
I have a cascading LOV in a tabular form which I have built using Denes Kubicek example from
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:176:2702932664861989:::::
Thanks to this wonderful examle I was able to make my cascading lov work.
However when I make the page public , the second lov(which is based on the first one) does not work.
Inorder to debug i changed get.get('XML') to get.get() and put an alert on it; to check if the select list string is being returned correctly by the application process - it returns null. The same alert returns the select list string when I put the authentication back on the page.
Also I noticed when the page is public the application item (TAB_CASCADING_ITEM) is not getting populated with the value of the first select list.
has anybody encountered the same issue ?
Appreciate any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dippy

One of the parameters in the htmldb_get is the page the process runs on. You should change that to the current page or make page 0 public as well.

Mail for Exchange does not work when set to manual...

I set up mail for exchange and it works beautifully when set to always on, however many times I want it on manual so I can only check at specific times when I'm away from a pc, but it doesn't seem to work.
When I click synchronise, it appears as if it syncs and disconnects, but it doesn't update anything. If I try the same when I'm looking at the mail for exchange settings, then it tries to connect and says error connecting, try again later.
So i switched to always on, it worked, back to manual, and it seems that the first attempt was successful, but I know it'll stop working later.
Any idea what the problem is with manual checking?

Create_dynamic_table does not work when fieldcatalog table contains LVC_S_S

I'm getting short-dump when creating dynamic internal table via CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table.

<b>I'll be generously giving away points for any help!</b>
Any idea anyone? I was thinking may be convert the HEX data to CHAR before creating the dynamic table then again convert the CHAR data back to HEX before I call SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY? In that case, how to convert Hex of a structure to CHAR and vice versa?

I've included the structure LVC_S_STYL in my structure ZLVC_S_STYL and then add some fields.
But if I insert a field CELL like LVC_S_STYL, instead of to include it directly, I get the dump.
So I believe it depends on how you've defined the structure in dictionary, because in the second case it seems the METHOD can't create the subroutine to create the dynamic table.
It seems if it uses a complex structure where a field is a structure, the METHOD can't write a right defintion of an internal table based on the dictionary structure.
In my system I saw the method try to create a subroutine where the interna table is defined in this way:
DATA: STYLE TYPE ZLVC_S_STYL-STYLE.
instead of
DATA: STYLE TYPE ZLVC_S_STYL-CELL-STYLE.
