Problem in Directory Selection

Though this is not a java problem, I hope anybody may
know the solution.
I have a HTML form, through which we need to select a directory (not file. input type=file selects files only).
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Bathra,
There is no way to do that with HTML only. You'd better use an applet to do it, or an ActiveX component.
There are lotsa to download for free, just look through google.
greetings,
maesj

Prompt for Directory Selection when deploying in WEB

I have created a Java code to prompt for directory selection and it works when alone. When I get the code with the JavaBean in the forms 6i application, no dialog prompt appears when clicking the "Get_directory" button. The Java code is listed below.
(A) File DDialog.java

int returnVal=OpenDlg.showOpenDialog(frame);
String old_directory_name = directory_name;
if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
File selectedFile = OpenDlg.getSelectedFile();
if (selectedFile.isDirectory())
directory_name=selectedFile.getPath();

end if;
end;
Please advise where the problem is and fix it, much thanks.

Problem in AT selection screen validation

Hi,
I am having problem in AT SELECTION SCREEN Validation.
I have 2 radiobutton and 6 parameter. if i click first radio button all the 6 radiobutton should enable and take the user input, that is working fine for me.
if i click second radiobutton , out of 6 , 3 parameter should disable and remaining 3 should enable. thats also working fine.
My problem is program has written the validation for this 3 parameter in the AT SELECTION SCREEN.
For first radioutton all the validation working fine, for second validation as soon as i press the radiobutton it will display error message. Based on 2 parameter user is filling value for 3 rd parameter.
I want the same validation to be done for second radio button after user pressing enter.
PARAMETER: p_single RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 DEFAULT 'X' USER-COMMAND f1,
           p_multi RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.
PARAMETERS: s_pwwrk LIKE plaf-pwwrk.
PARAMETERS: p_lgort LIKE plaf-lgort.
PARAMETERS: p_kostl LIKE cobl-kostl.
here is my code:
AT SELECTION SCREEN.
CLEAR t001w.
CLEAR t001k.
CLEAR marv.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001w WHERE werks EQ s_pwwrk.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    MESSAGE e999 WITH 'Plant' s_pwwrk 'does not exist'.
ELSE.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001k WHERE bwkey EQ t001w-bwkey.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM marv WHERE bukrs EQ t001k-bukrs.
    IF p_budat0(4) NE marv-lfgja OR p_budat4(2) NE marv-lfmon
IF marv-xruem IS NOT INITIAL.
        IF p_budat0(4) NE marv-vmgja OR p_budat4(2) NE marv-vmmon.
MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat4(2) p_budat0(4)
                            'is closed.
                                        Please try again.'.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat4(2) p_budat0(4)
                          'is closed.
                                      Please try again.'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

For your Case ,
If i understand clearly,You can do the validation when you want on AT SELECTION SCREEN ON WP_FIELD.
If you say your validation to be done only for Selection of Second Radio Button, then..
AT SELECTION SCREEN.
if p_multi eq 'X'. "<- Make Validation to be done only if user select Second Button
CLEAR t001w.
CLEAR t001k.
CLEAR marv.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001w WHERE werks EQ s_pwwrk.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE e999 WITH 'Plant' s_pwwrk 'does not exist'.
ELSE.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001k WHERE bwkey EQ t001w-bwkey.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM marv WHERE bukrs EQ t001k-bukrs.
IF p_budat+0(4) NE marv-lfgja OR p_budat+4(2) NE marv-lfmon
IF marv-xruem IS NOT INITIAL.
IF p_budat+0(4) NE marv-vmgja OR p_budat+4(2) NE marv-vmmon.
MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat+4(2) p_budat+0(4)
'is closed.
Please try again.'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat+4(2) p_budat+0(4)
'is closed.
Please try again.'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Problem in my Select query

Hi Experts,
I need a clarification in my Select query.
Have created a custom search help and my requirement is I have Request ID, Last and First Name as my search parameters. I need to fetch the values from my Ztable on search with the above said search parameters, where its workflow status = 30.
   * Get Request ID
lv_pattern = <ls_query_params>-request_id.
IF lv_pattern CA '*'.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN lv_pattern WITH '%'.
ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern CA '*'
IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL.
    lv_pattern = '%'.
ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL
** Get NACHN - Lastname
    lv_last_name = <ls_query_params>-nachn.
    IF lv_last_name CA '*'.
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN lv_last_name WITH '%'.
    ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern CA '*'
    IF lv_last_name IS INITIAL.
      lv_last_name = '%'.
    ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL

*Selecting the RequestID/Last and First Name values with workflow status as 30.
SELECT zzreq_id " Internal number for appropriation request
            nachn

INTO TABLE lt_select_list
FROM ZTABLE
WHERE ( ( zzreq_id LIKE lv_pattern ) and
                 ( nachn like lv_last_name ) or
                  ( vorna LIKE lv_first_name ) )
       AND zzstatus = lv_workflow_status.
My problem is, ofcourse this query is selecting all the records where status = 30 and even it works correctly, If I searches with Request ID(* or *3*).
But am not able to select the records, if I searches with Last or First Name. Guess I did some thing wrong in select query.
Please advice me.
With Regards,
Ram.

Hi Ramakrishnan,
                     Can you just try the below Select Query,
SELECT zzreq_id
            nachn
           vorna
INTO TABLE lt_select_list
FROM ZTABLE
WHERE ( zzreq_id     LIKE    lv_pattern               and
                     nachn         LIKE    lv_last_name         and
                   vorna          LIKE     lv_first_name )    and
                      zzstatus = lv_workflow_status.

Problem in standard select query in fagll03

Good Morning frndz,
I m facing a problem while runnin fagll03. when executed it gives timeout error.
When I debug it , it gets stuck in a select query
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t800m INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF ls_b
WHERE totable = ls_t800a-ntable
AND fromtable = 'ACCIT_GLX'
AND tofield = id_glflex_fieldname
AND seqnr = space.
The content in variable ls_t800a-ntable was FAGLFLEXA and in id_glflex_fieldname was USNAM.
When I cheked in table t800m, the entry could not be found. But in the report instead of setting
sy-subrc = 0 , it is stuck in the select query itself....kindly suggest y it is happening so

Vincy

Problem in displaying selected page items in the title in Graph

Hi There;
I have a problem in displaying selected value of named page item in the graphs.
Eg. I have in my worksheet a page item named "Location"; when I use "&WorksheetName &Location" in the title of worksheet it is displaying both the worksheet title and value of selected page item "Location" in my example.
But when I use the same (&WorksheetName &Location) in the title of graph or Axis of the graph, it would show up only the name of the worksheet but not the value of page item "Location", instead it would print "&Location"
Any idea why it is not able to reference the select page item in Discoverer graph? I am using Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.1.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Nidhi Jethoo

Hi Michael;
Thanks a lot. It might not have been considered necessary but you do require, e.g in my case I am plotting Average value of a Parameter and it does make sense in including the name/value of Parameter(surface water temp/bottom watter temp) as an Axis instead of just a constant Parameter or say Average Parameter. So that user can plot the variation of different parameters by changing the page items and when user changes the value of parameter and export the graph he/she has the parameter name(actual value) in the graph.
But I can include all the parameters (&Parameters) or all the page items(using &PageItems) in graph then why not individual page-item and individual parameter.
I would log a SR and see what they say.
Thanks again,
Nidhi

Problem in passing selection screen values using CALL TRANSACTION.

Hi All
I am facing problem in transfering selection screen values to the called transaction. I am trying to pass the path of the transaction filer but to no avail. The variable for filepath is not empty.
Below is my code:

Hi Harsh,
I think you have entered wrong main program for tcode 'FF_5' and wrong screen field for the file name. Use the below code instead of yours.

You have to give the selection screen values when you submit a job.
Press F1 on submit and you will see more details.
Here is an example from ABAP Documentation.
Program accessed

Big problem with a select using remote database

Hi Guy.
I have a big problem with a simple query, but this is a scenario.
Actuallly I'm in Alexandria - Egypt with a server with Oracle 10.2.0.4 database 32 bit on linux Red Hat as 4.8. the server can connect to another database oracle but 9.2.0.6 installed on Red Hat As 4.5 placed in Milano Italy . Ttwo networks are connected via two adsl cisco router with firewall and Vpn functions. In Egypt there isn't a very good adsl.
In Alexandria, I'm trying to connect to database in Italy with sqlplus. The sqlplus connected I write.. select * from addetti and all work fine.
My problem is that when I try to make the same select on a table with many columns oracle database kill me a session.
My table (ic_lav) is long 174 colums 1924 byte for row. Well when I write a query with select * from ic_lav all oracle close my session.
So I began to change my query I start to
select field1 from ic_lav... and work
select field1,field2,field3,..........field50 from ic_lav and work
select field1,field2,field3,..........field70 from ic_lav and doesn't work
the select work with 68 columns
problem: the query with more then 1064 byte for row doesn't work.
I've tryed with anoter big table with the same problem, but the select fwork with 65 columns...
Iit is obvious that there is any problem with the limit of the query.
The same query (select * from ic_lav) in localMilano)l work fine.
The same query (select * from ic_lav) in vpn with a better adsl line and openvpn software (NO CISCO firewall) WORK FINE.
The same query connectetd in Milano with a vpn make with analogic modem and remote access by windows work fine.
the query (make on my laptop connectet with vpn by cisco doesn't work.
In cisco firewall we haven't any error (cisco man tell me so)
on database 9 I found :
*** 2009-06-12 09:49:45.509
*** SESSION ID:(66.44406) 2009-06-12 09:49:45.497
FATAL ERROR IN TWO-TASK SERVER: error = 12152
*** 2009-06-12 09:49:45.509
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
Current SQL statement for this session:
select * from ic_lis where ditta
----- Call Stack Trace -----
but I don't understand why the lost connection problem (bug 3816595 A processstate dump is produced for a lost connection (12152) ) is caused by len of row
Anybody have some idea ?
Thank you

My table (ic_lav) is long 174 colums 1924 byte for row. Well when I write a query with select * from ic_lav all oracle close my session.Do you get any error?
If the query length is a problem, you could create a view and query the view instead to see if this problem is resolved.

Extension not recognizing custom user directory selection

A while back I created a Dreamweaver plugin called Blackbaud Sphere CMS (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2430523). Anyhow during install it provides the user with the options select a custom save directory for KDF files. This directory is referenced when creating template files later on. It was working perfectly fine in Dreamweaver CS4-CS5.5 on OSX and in CS6 it doesn't remember the users directory selection. Haven't checked to see if this was occuring in Windows yet. For now I'm trying to resolve the OSX 10.7.4 with CS6 issue.
See how the token is written below:
<token name="KDF" prompt="Descriptor Files (Save all .KDF files here)" default="$dreamweaver/configuration/Blackbaud/Templates/KDF" />
I should note that it does crete the default directory however it is also not recognized.

Bump, still having this issue.

JComboBox selection and highlight problem of the selected item

Hi,
I have a question how can I make my newly added item to the combo-box selectable and highlighted. I am adding new items to my custom comboBox dynamically and I want whatever item I add to be selected by default. I am using my own custom ComboBoxModel that extends AbstractListModel and implements ComboBoxModel and TreeModelListener, and my custom Renderer that extends JLabel and implements ListCellRenderer. Because I am trying to get a tree structure in my comboBox model and that's why I have my own custom model and renderer. Now when I add a new node or item to my comboBox it is being added and shown in the combo-box textField, but as soon I pull down the combo-box my parent directory is selected though my current selection is the last node added. That's how I am adding new nodes and making it selectable
treeModel.insertNodeInto(tempNode, (DefaultMutableTreeNode)nodeCollection.lastElement(), 0);
int nodeTotal =((CMRGlobals.myTreeGlobals).getModel()).getSize();
Object lastNode = CMRGlobals.myTreeGlobals).getModel()).getElementAt(nodeTotal - 1);
((CMRGlobals.myTreeGlobals).getModel()).setSelectedItem(lastNode);
when I do this my node is added under my parentNode and is shown in the comboBox but when I try to pull down the combo my parent node is high lighted and when I move out of the combo-box my parent node gets selected and show in the combo-box though I haven't selected it,and the contents of my last node are shown. I am just writing my own custom model that simulates the effect of JTree. I am using these......
DefaultMutableTreeNode and
DefaultTreeModel
and in my JComboBox I am setting my model as
this.setModel(new myModel(treemodel));
this.setRenderer(new myRenderer());
I am building my own FileDialog that just works like FileDialog I have all the functionality except this problem.Thanks for any help. I know I have posted this same thread yesterday but I didn't get any response hoping now may somebody can help me.Thanks again

never mind I got it
Thanks

Authentication problem in Directory Utility (Standard Mode)

I misposted this in the 10.4-and-earlier section...I have Leopard.
Okay, I suppose I am in over my head as I am not a NA but just had so many macs I thought it would be fun to see if I can make OS X Server work.
I have at the moment 3 users set up: 1 admin and 2 Standard users. When one of the remote Macs tries to use Directory Utility to authenticate, it insists that "The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match." Well, I have reset the passwords on the server several times and I am darn sure I have them right. I can connect to the server and use folders and whatnot; i just can't use any of the services.
I suspect this is a permissions issue, because I also get errors if I try to "Allow (one of the standard users) to administer this server" in the Server Preferences/Users pane. I get "Error '-14120' occurred while processing a command of type 'setMembership' in plug-in 'servermgr_accounts'. That's very descriptive and helpful except that I do NOT know what I am doing.
Uh, little help? Did I just do something very stupid that is making everyone chuckle?

I've been at this for eight days myself. Lots of problems. So don't feel bad if things don't sort of "click" into place - they haven't been for me.
First off - I noticed that you have server_name.local. I'll say something right here about that. I had no end of grief when I configured my server with a .local extension. All my machines are named after Kellogg's cereals - so I decided to name this one honeycomb. So during installation I named it honeycomb.local.
Now before I explain this - understand this is my understanding .. I could be dead wrong - but this is how I understand it. Apple uses Bonjour technology to locate network resources. In a network environment there will no doubt already be conventional methods for locating computers - such as DNS, Directory Services, etc. Bonjour is designed to happily coexist with all of those. It essentially uses multicast technology to find other devices on the network and configure it. When a device is using Bonjour - it utilizes the .local suffix. You can see where I am going with this.
So I had some issues and decided to pull the plug. Reinstalled the OS and used honeycomb.private. I STILL see honeycomb.local being referenced throughout - so I feel good now that I made the right choice. Things have been going a lot better since.
I am going to use mymachine.private as the computer, and jdoe as the username in the next bit. Replace them with your own info.
+From my own experiences, here are some things to check+
*_1) Server must respond to the Client's Requests _*
On the Server:
-Use 'ipfw flush' and clear out firewall rules while you are testing.
-Does 'ping mymachine' work?
-Does 'ping mymachine.private' work?
_*2) Client must be able to find the data in Open Directory:*_
-Is Open Directory running in Server Admin.
-In Server Admin, under Open Directory, under Overview - do you have everything running? Is there an LDAP search base and a Kerberos Realm? Are they correct?
-Connect with an LDAP client if you must, and manually verify that the user information is in there. I love Apache Directory Studio (http://directory.apache.org/studio/)
-Perhaps there are certificate or identity issues - turn off the SSL options during testing.
-In Workgroup Manager->User jdoe->Home ensure the information is correct.
*_3) Client must be able to mount the home directory:_*
-Can you manually mount /Users/ on the client, and read / write everything in the jdoe folder ?
In Server Admin, under File Sharing
-/Users/ share point - Automount should be enabled (AFP, Home Folders)
-/Users/ permissions - others should be at least read-only
This is my preference .. but...
-/Users/jdoe permissions should be:
ACL: jdoe - Allow, +Full Control+
POSIX:
jdoe - Allow, +Read & Write+
admin - Allow, +Read & Write+
Others - Allow, None
Select jdoe folder, click on the Cog and Propagate Permissions. Check all permission boxes and click OK.
_On the Client_
I usually start off, by verifying:
-Does the client have a DHCP address from my server?
-Can my client ping the shortname and fullname of my server?
-Can I manually connect to the server and mount a share?
-Did I do an *ipfw /flush* on the client too?
If all that is correct, then I will go into Directory Utility and click the + to add a directory server. I will select type "Open Directory", type in the server name (mymachine.private), and leave SSL unchecked. Click OK. When done it should say:
mymachine.private(Open Directory Server) - This server is responding normally
Once you get this far, try logging out and logging in as a user - ie. jdoe
If it won't let you log in then answer this - did it do its shAkE at you or did it give you an error message?
Kerberos shouldn't be rearing its ugly head at this stage of the game - its more for single sign on .. but if you see any authentication windows with the words "REALM" or "PRINCIPLE" - those words should set off little Kerberos alarm bells in your head. Like I said - at this stage in the game I don't think those have anything to do with it.
_*Few other notes:*_
#1) In Workgroup Manager - you could add the client computer. Enter its full name and short name (you can get them from the sharing option in the client's system preferences). Once the computer is added, you can go into the preferences for the computer, click on Login Preferences and set it to always manage. Put a message in the message box such as "Directory has been consulted" and check the "Show Network Users" box. This way - when you log out .. you will have an indication as to whether the open directory is working at all on the client, or if the problem is more focused with the user account.
#2) I have been getting
+Error of type Not a known DirStatus (-1) on line 2075 of SourceCache/ WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/Plugins/UserAccounts/UserAdvancedPluginVi ew.mm+
when creating a user in Workgroup Manager. I just close out of the user and then it allows me back in.
Drop a post if you manage to solve the problem.

Hello blue256
If you entered a Organisational Unit in the Domain Management page, please try clearing the OU field and try re-adding the unit to the domain.
After that is done, please try checking if the domain user and groups are accessible from User and Groups page.
