Problem when using a different data element in Employee Tab Contact Info

Hello,
My version: Nakisa OrgChart 4.1
I created a data element whose fields I wanted to show in the Position details (in the Employee Profile panel, which use the default Static layout 'Employee Tabs'). I am trying to display some contact info, and I used the Employee Tab Contact Info section within Employee Tabs to do it. Somehow the fields captions do not show once I do that (see picture attached). I tried using the 'Employee Tab Data Sheet' section to display the same information, and it works fine.
Any thoughts what could cause this behavior? All the fields captions have values that were configured in the data element.
Thanks
M.E.

Sorry, just re-reading from the start, you are saying this is purely dependent on the type of section you select. Right?
With "Employee Tab Contact Info", you say it doesn't show; Have you tried using Field/Value Section (Multiple)?
Also, when it doesn't work, what <presentation> is referenced in your custom section within "OrgUnitPositionEmployeeDetail.xml" (in \.delta\AppResources\detailconfiguration)?

ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate

ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate a form.
1) Created a FORM on EMP using the wizards. This creates an AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH
TABLE NAME - EMP
Item Containing PRIMARY KEY - P2099_EMPNO
Primary key column - EMPNO
By default the automatic fetch has a ‘Process Error Message’ of ‘Unable to fetch row.’
2) Created a HTML region. Within this region add
text item P2099_FIND_EMPNO
Button GET_EMP to submit
Branch Modified the conditional branch created during button creation to set P2099_EMPNO with &P2099_FIND_EMPNO.
If I then run the page, enter an existing employee number into P2099_EMPNO and press the GET_EMP button the form is populated correctly. But if I enter an employee that does not exist then I get the oracle error ORA-01403: no data found and no form displayed but a message at the top of the page ‘Action Processed’.I was expecting a blank form to be displayed with the message ‘Unable to fetch row.’
I can work around this by making the automated fetch conditional so that it checks the row exists first. Modify the Fetch row from EMP automated fetch so that it is conditional
EXIST (SQL query returns at least one row)
select 'x'
from EMP
where EMPNO = :P2099_EMPNO
But this means that when the employee exists I must be fetching from the DB twice, once for the condition and then again for the actual row fetch.
Rather than the above work around is there something I can change so I don’t get the Oracle error? I’m now wondering if the automatic row fetch is only supposed to be used when linking a report to a form and that I should be writing the fetch process manually. The reason I haven’t at the moment is I’m trying to stick with the automatic wizard generation as much as I can.
Any ideas?
Thanks Pete

Hi Mike,
I've tried doing that but it doesn't seem to make any difference. If I turn debug on it shows below.
0.05: Computation point: AFTER_HEADER
0.05: Processing point: AFTER_HEADER
0.05: ...Process "Fetch Row from EMP": DML_FETCH_ROW (AFTER_HEADER) F|#OWNER#:EMP:P2099_EMPNO:EMPNO
0.05: Show ERROR page...
0.05: Performing rollback...
0.05: Processing point: AFTER_ERROR_HEADER
I don't really wan't the error page, either nothing with the form not being populated or a message at the top of the page.
Thanks Pete

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

How to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer

Hi,
         Does anyone know how to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer? To make my question clearly, I would like to give you an example. In my application, I set "sample to read" as 10 which means at each loop 10 data samples will be taken into a buffer. Now, what I would like to do is to do some calculations on adjacent data samples in same buffer. I tried to use "shift register" for this, but it seemed to me that it only can deal with the calculation between data from adjacent loops. In other words, it skips 9 data elements and take the 10th one for the calculation.
         Here I also attach my VI showing what I did.
    Thank you very much in advance,
                        Suksun

Hi Suksun,
      I hope you'll forgive me for distilling your code - mainly to understand it better. I tried to duplicate your logic exactly - which required reversing the "derivatives"-array before concatination with the current samples array. As in your code, the last velocity is being paired with the first position. If first velocity is really supposed to be paired with first position, just remove the "Reverse 1D Array" node.
cheers

NLS support problems when using AL32UTF8 in dads.conf

Hello,
Following a post by Joel Kallman, in one of the forum threads, about the mandatory use of AL32UTF8 in dads.conf, when running HTML DB v2.0, I changed my PlsqlNLSLanguage parameter accordingly.
Prior to the change, I experienced some problems when using non-English characters some application items appeared as gibberish when contained non-English characters, and the LIKE operator didn't perform as expected. After the change, it all seems to work OK, but now I have a different problem.
All the non-English characters in my HTML page source code appears as gibberish. On screen, at run time, everything display correctly, but the source code seems to be corrupted. It is very difficult, and very annoying to debug the pages that way. Is there a way to enjoy both worlds Using AL32UTF8 in the dads.conf, as required, and still getting a coherent HTML source code, containing non-English characters?
Thanks,
Arie.

TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now
does anyone have a sollution?

Type '''about:support''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Scroll down almost to the bottom of that listing and see if you have '''user.js Preferences''' just above the '''''Graphics''''' category.
If you do have that, click on '''user.js file''' in this sentence. 
''Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.''
Does that "different homepage" appear in that user.js file?

Are you guys still on the shipping code of GW 12? Novell had a fix for this within a couple weeks of GW 12 being released from what I remember. Open an SR and get the latest code.

Problem when using Javabeans in ADF?

Hi,
I encountered a problem when using ADF.
Please look at the following 2 classes :
public class Person
private String name;
private String city;
private int age;
public Person(String name, int age, String city)
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.city = city;
public Person()
public void setName(String name)
this.name = name;
public String getName()
return name;
public void setAge(int age)
this.age = age;
public int getAge()
return age;
public void setCity(String city)
this.city = city;
public String getCity()
return city;
public class PersonFactory
public PersonFactory()
public List getPersons()
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add(new Person("peit", 18, "dalian"));
list.add(new Person("robin", 22, "shenyang"));
list.add(new Person("Joe", 30, "York"));
list.add(new Person("Edi", 23, "Beijing"));
return list;
public List getNames()
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add("Peit");
list.add("Robin");
list.add("Joe");
list.add("Edi");
return list;
public void commit()
System.out.println("Data commited");
I created the PersonFactory class as DataControl, so I can use the getPersons() and getNames()(just for test, so they are simple), I drag the names from
the DataControl palette as Table in a JClientPanel, good luck, it works and displays the 4 Strings in a table, but when I drag the persons from
the DataControl palette as Table in the same JClientPanel, it does not work and raises exception :
java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi, Frank
Thank you for your reply.
I am sorry for not explaining well. I mean that the getNames() works fine, but getPersons() does not. The only diferenece between them is the former is simple string and the latter is javabean, but when I made the PersonFactory as DataControl, I set the bean class Person for the getPersons()(list of persons) bean class.
I debuged the class, the exceptions raised when the table for getPersons() setModel() method called.
So, where is the problem?
Thanks.

OSB & xquery: when use text() or data(...)

Hi all,
I'm a beginner on xquery and I'm wondering when use text() or data(...).
For example I've this simple xml document:
<book>
<author>A</author>
<year>2010</year>
<price currency="CHF" >100.123</price>
</book>
for retrieving attribute value I have to use data(/book/price/@currency)
but for for retrieving tag value I've two possibilities:/book/price/text() or data(/book/price)
Are those two expressions the same ? Or ones is evaluated faster than the others ?

Text() - always returns the String.
data() - accepts a sequence of items and returns their typed values (return type is xs:anyAtomicType). Calling this function is often unnecessary because the typed value of a node is extracted automatically (in a process known as atomization) for many XQueryXPath 2.0 expressions, including comparisons, arithmetic operations and function calls. The most common use case for the fn:data function is in XQuery element constructors.

Anuj

Partial page load problem when using Muse in an existing non-Muse Masterpage; how to issue a jquery

Partial page load problem when using Muse in an existing non-Muse Masterpage; how to issue a jquery args.get_isPartialLoad().
My page is loaded into a palcehold within the Ajax update panel within the current Masterpage, so page loadload doesn't occur. But if my Muse page can capture the partial pageload then I can tell jquery to run the Muse formating routine.

Jackie, I am having the same issue and agree that it obscures our site analytics.
I only have the "WebMarketing" subscription - so I cannot see how often people visit my site (unless I just dont know how to view that). Here is a screen shot of how many different locations I have and how much it affects my site visitor count based on the other locations which seem "legit" because they have more page views than visits.
I hope there is a way to fix or block this.

SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Asia)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      0
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(transportation)', 1) > 0;

Coercion problem when using Shared Variable

I have a curious coercion problem when using Shared Variables. I want to share the state of a State Machine, which is an enum saved as a control (typedef) called TYPE State (see attached). I create a shared variable called State and define it as a Custom Control, using the just-mentioned typedef. So far, so good. I've attached three simple VIs -- the first one, Init State, simply wires a constant to the input of the Shared Variable to initialize it -- the wired constant is, of course, defined by the typedef. However, the Get State and Set State, meant to wire an indicator (for reading the state) or control (for setting it), develop coercion dots when wired into the Shared Variable. Why? How do I get rid of the dot? [I suppose I could abandon my typedef and custom control, but the beauty of typedefs and custom controls is that it "enforces" rules, lets you use enums for clarity, keeps the code "honest", etc. -- I'd hate to give that up just to get rid of a dot!].
On a related note, the code seems to work. This is much too simplistic to do anything, but if you open Set State and Get State, set the state to anything, run it (it immediately stops, of course), then run Get State, you'll see the chosen state appear in the indicator. So it does appear to work. The "error" (coercion dot) may, I suppose, be a "bug" in Labview because it can't figure out the mapping of the (very simple!) Custom Control, but if so, I hope it gets fixed quickly!

Hello Bob,
I am also seeing this behavior, I will escalate this question to our LabVIEW developers and post again here no later than next Tuesday, November 27th as National Instruments will be closed for the remainder of this week.
If this issue does turn into a product suggestion, I would suspect the workaround would to live with the coersion dot for the time being.
Enjoy the holiday
