Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

  • Seriously!?!  Serious problems with the customer support and AppleCare.

    I have a macbook pro.  I've had it since Aug 2007, so it's old, i get it. But I'm a poor starving student and I bought the computer with the idea that it was a quality product that would last me though my studies.  However, it has been the shop for repairs literally, every year, often multiple times per year, since I bought it.  Everything from DVD (twice failed, more than two visits), to hard drive failure, to replacing the motherboard.  That's just what I remember.  The thing is a lemon.
    Fortunately I bought apple care, great idea right? It was for the first year or two.  However over a year before AppleCare was set to expire it started having problems over heating, freezing, and subsequently giving me that scary roll down 'restart your computer immediately screen'.  It gets so hot you can't set it on your lap - it burns. I repeatedly brought it into the shop for help (the flagship one on Regents Street in London), and they couldn't seem to do anything.  When I explained time was of the essence because I wanted it covered under AppleCare, they seemed unbothered, it seeed they were clearly waiting for it to expire first.  Dodgy.
    During the appointments they couldn't seem to replicate the issue in the shop (it take about 30 minutes to an hour to really scorch, and seems to not be related to how hard the CPU works).  And said because they could see it do it, they were not able to help.  Really, in the whole history of apple, I'm the only one to have a computer over heat?  Really?  Instead, they sent me away asking me to come back later "when it starts doing it again".  Okay, as I said, it always overheats, it just takes a while to start, so unless we sit together in quiet awkwardness waiting, and waiting, it's not going to happen.  And as the appointments take about three days to get so it's not like I can just pop round when it starts to happen and say, feel, it's really hot now, will you please, for the love of God, find a solution now?  And it's a bit of a walk to the store, and there are no internet cafe's near by for me to go heat it up at, so it's always going to cool before I arrive. Duh.
    And why is the burden of proof on me?  It's like they are insinuating that I just love popping round the apple store every few months, all the vain hope that I can have a ...free part?
    Still I persevered, taking it in when the problem seemed to exacerbate, and making sure I used it a bit first to get it warmed up.  All the while with the warranty getting closer and closer to expiration.   Finally, we got it to do it in the shop.  But for a fix, they just sprayed it with air, and told me to "see if that works".  It didn't.  And I ask you, why is it in no other visit, they could not have come to this ground breaking solution? Did they really have to feel it get hot to realize overheating may have something to do with a clogged fan? 
    I should also note that they then proceeded to put it back together wrong, and I was unable to open it because a misplaced screw caused it to lock shut.  It took two days to get a new appointment to get it fixed, even when I called to explain that it was their error, and I really, really, needed my laptop.
    Anyway, as I said, it didn't fix the problem. So I had to go back yet again, at this point I can't remember if I was still under applecare or if it had just expired.  It doesn't matter, because, again, without being able to make it get hot on their own (even though they had case history where it was clear that it had, and this was not just in my imagination, and even more case history showing it had a history of instability), they couldn't offer me any solutions.  All they could do, they said, was suggest that I leave it with them for "about a week" to check it over.  A week!! Who goes without a computer for a week?!?! I'm not a student in 1985.  
    So now, I'm sitting here writing you am email from my laptop which is sitting on a towel in my lap to protect my thighs from mac burn.  The warranty has now long passed, but the problem has now finally progressed to the point that it takes much less than 30 to reach scalding point, so I could prove it if there were any point.  But there isn't, because now when I call the apple people, they assure me that it must be a hardware issue (and furthermore that the apple employees should have been able to tell me this over a year ago), and unless I want to buy parts there just isn't anything that they can do.  Which leads me to my next point, if the problem started while under warranty, and you have documentation of this, why do I - a poor starving student - have to pay for this just because it took you, Apple, a year and half to finally figure out the problem?
    So to recap, I decided to pay the exorbitant apple costs and make the switch from PC because I thought that the stability of the machines, the so touted excellent customer service, and the superior programs were worth the cost.  And to be fair, the programs are fabulous, the apps integrate smoothly, and it starts up with a flash.  Unfortunately I can't enjoy any of this with my laptop on my lap without risking burning through my pants.  I can only enjoy these benefits for about 30 minutes before it starts freezing due to the heat.  And, a few times a year I have to make multiple journeys to the apple store (which is, to be fair, really quite a nice store) to get the latest hardware problem fixed, which means I'm often without it for days to over a week at a time.  All in all, it's not worth the money to me - one of those young, hip, cutting edge media types you are trying so hard to market to - until you can fix your customer service issues, put knowledgable people in positions to help, and have the internal support systems to get it done with at least enought efficiency to keep up with the technology demands of the modern world. 

    It sounds as if this is coming back to Norton Security...

  • Problems with setting first username and password

    I haven't used a cisco router in over 12 years, so I'm a bit rusty.  I had to replace a nortel box for a small charter school here in Hawaii, so I decided to go with a cisco 1941 / K9 router. using a usb terminal connection I started up the router as directed in the PDF documentation for this box.  It warned me that I must change the starting username and password (<cisco> and <cisco> respectively) with my own username and password.  I wanted to change this to <cisco1> and a simple password.  I thought I followed the directions, but I failed to reset the user name and password.  As I was looking up online for help on how to set a new username and password, the terminal window timed-out and now I can't log in to the 1941 router at all.
    How do I reset the router?  Once I do how do I correctly setup  username and password after I login once with cisco and cisco?
     Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm attaching a screen capture of the terminal window...

    How do I reset the router?
    Power OFF the router.
    If you look at the back (where the power button is) and to the lower left-hand corner, you'll observe two CF slots.  Pop the cover open and eject the CF. 
    Power up the router.  
    Observe the console terminal and when you see "rommon1>" enter the command "confreg 2142".  
    After the command has been accepted, insert the CF back and reboot the router.  
    Your router should boot into factory default (Username & Password are "cisco") but the config-registry value is still 2102.  
    Do the following:
    ​conf t
    config-registry 0x2102
    username BLAH password BLAH
    end

  • Problems with setting up my ISP's mail server in Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird

    The laptop is a G60-535DX with Windows 7  64 bit. I've managed to setup my gmail account fine in Live Mail, but when setting  up my ISP' mail server, it doesn't work. I get the message that the information was entered correctly, and I see the 'connecting' at the bottom of the page, and then 'error', and clicking on it shows a socket error #10061. In Thunderbird, I get a timeout error message. I've entered all the incoming and outgoing server information correctly, (I've done this over 8-9 times now), the ports are the defaults(110,25), no SSL, no authentication. I've talked with my ISP several times. Just a couple of hours ago was the last time. Their only other possibilities were that Live Mail had problems with setting up more than one account, that Live Mail needed updating, that Windows 7 was a new operating system and there were 'kinks'. I removed the gmail account, set up the ISP's mail by itself; didn't help. I checked for Live Mail updates, but found out that they all come from Windows updates(which are current).  The folks on PCQ&A inform me that they have 3 or 4 accounts with Live Mail. I can get my mail, by logging onto my ISP's website, but that' kind of a nuisance. I posted this in Seven Forums and they didn't have any ideas. As I said, I also can't get my mail server to work in Thunderbird, either.  I don't know what else to try. (short of activating the recovery partition and starting from scratch). Any ideas would be more that welcome.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Nevermind, it's fixed. One of the guys on PCQ&A suggested going to my ISP's website to see if they had a support page. They did and it stated that under certain circumstances that for the login ID the whole email address should be entered. For XP and Outlook Express one only uses the first part of the email address (your name); so just for grins I entered the whole address, name and all and everyting worked. Called my ISP and was told that that wasn't the way it's supposed to work. Well----

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • Problem with SET GET parameters

    Hi all,
    I am facing a problem using SET and GET parameters.
    There is a Z transaction(Dialog program) where some fields of screen are having parameter ID's. That transaction is designed to diaplay/change status of only one inspection lot at a time.
    Now I need to call that transaction in a loop using BDC. I mean i need to update the status of multiple inspection lots(one after the other). Before calling the transaction I am using
    SET PARAMETER ID 'QLS' FIELD lv_prueflos.
    Unfortunately the transaction is only changing the first inspection lot. When I debugged I found that the screen field is changing in PAI. Even though in PBO it shows the next value, when it goes to PAI it is automatically changing to the first value(inspection lot).
    Example: Inspection Lots : 4100000234
                                               4100000235
                                              4100000236
    Now first time when the call transaction is being made the status of insp lot 4100000234 is changed. For the second time when insp lot 4100000235 is being passed in PBO ican see this. But the moment it enters PAI the screen field changes to 4100000234.
    Could you pls help me in solving this issue.

    - Fix flicker problem with constraint bound text that is being autoSized.  If the remeasure is done in a 2nd pass you will see a flicker as all the objects are moved to accommodate the reflowed text.
    - Fix data binding issue with text setter.
    - Rework measure() to accommodate implicit autoSize.
    If explicitWidth or widthInChars specified and explicitHeight or heightInLines specified, or for now, blockProgression != "tb", the text has fixed dimensions and is not auto-sized.
    If no text and width specified, but no height, start at specified width and one line high and grow taller.
    If no text and height specified, start at 1 char wide with the specified height and grow wider.
    If neither width nor height specified, and toFit lineBreaks, start at explicitMaxWidth, or default maxWidth of 160, and grow taller.
    If neither width nor height specified, and explicit lineBreaks width is unlimited and can grow taller.
    These are further constrained by min/max Width and Height except in the case that explicitWidth or explicitHeight are specified.
    - Change default maxWidth for RichText and SimpleText to 160 to match RET.  Previously it was 10000.  This is used for
    text with toFit lineBreaks if a width isn't specified.
    QA Notes: 12 or so TextGraphic tests fail because of the new default maxWidth.

  • Problem with java swing button and loop

    Problem with java swing button and loop
    I�m using VAJ 4.0. and I�m doing normal GUI application. I have next problem.
    I have in the same class two jswing buttons named start (ivjGStart) and stop (ivjGStop) and private static int field named Status where initial value is 0. This buttons should work something like this:
    When I click on start button it must do next:
    Start button must set disenabled and Stop button must set enabled and selected. Field status is set to 1, because this is a condition in next procedure in some loop. And then procedure named IzvajajNeprekinjeno() is invoked.
    And when I click on stop button it must do next:
    Start button must set enabled and selected and Stop button must set disenabled.
    Field status is set to 0.
    This works everything fine without loop �do .. while� inside the procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno(). But when used this loop the start button all the time stay (like) pressed. And this means that a can�t stop my loop.
    There is java code, so you can get better picture:
    /** start button */
    public void gStart_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(false);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStop.setSelected(true);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is running ...");
    Status = 1;
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    /** stop button */
    public void gStop_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStart.setSelected(true);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(false);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is NOT running ...");
    Status = 0;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    /** procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno() */
    public void IzvajajNeprekinjeno() {  //RunLoop
    try {
    int zamik = 2000; //delay
    do {
    Thread.sleep(zamik);
    PreberiDat(); //procedure
    } while (Status == 1);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    So, I'm asking what I have to do, that start button will not all the time stay pressed? Or some other aspect of solving this problem.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Tomi

    This is a multi thread problem. When you start the gui, it is running in one thread. Lets call that GUI_Thread so we know what we are talking about.
    Since java is task-based this will happen if you do like this:
    1. Button "Start" is pressed. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    2. Event gStart_ActionEvents() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    3. Method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    4. Sleep in method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() on thread GUI_Thread
    5. Call PreberiDat(). Thread running: GUI_Thread
    6. Check status. If == 1, go tho 4. Thread running: GUI_Thread.
    Since the method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() (what does that mean?) and the GUI is running in the same thread and the event that the Start button has thrown isn't done yet, the program will go on in the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method forever and never let you press the Stop-button.
    What you have to do is do put either the GUI in a thread of its own or start a new thread that will do the task of the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method.

    That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
    I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
    So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
    And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

  • I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • Button in Bex Analyser 7.0 - problem with setting up Static Parameters

    Hello,
    I know a similar problem has been discussed here already, but I am still having problems with setting up Static Parameters of my Button in BEx Analyser 7.0, so that I can pass Variable values from that button to my query.
    This is what I do - in Static Parameters of my Button I set the following values:
    Name                          Index          Value
    DATA_PROVIDER        0               DP_1
    CMD                             0               PROCESS_VARIABLES
    SUBCMD                      0               VAR_SUBMIT
    VAR_NAME                 0               0RMA_FIP
    VAR_VALUE               0               004/2010
    As a result, I would like the value 004/2010 to be passed to variable 0RMA_FIP (which is mandatory) and the query to be executed with that value. For some reason, however, the value is not passed correctly, and instead the variable is filled with a blank or not filled at all, and I am getting a message "Specifiy value for variable Fiscal year/period". What do I do wrong?
    Just to give you a broader picture - I would like to later use this logic to pass more than one variables into a query, including a hierarchy node, and read the values from an Excel worksheet - however, after many attempts to do so, I started playing with just one variable to figure out what the problem was.
    I have already seen the following two threads and SAP notes on passing variable values from the button:

    Can anyone please advise?
    Cheers,
    AL

    I managed to figure it out myself!
    Instead of VAR_VALUE I need to enter VAR_VALUE_EXT, and it works fine.
    I will mark this thread as "answered".

    I am thinking about buying iPhoto 9.5.1, but I'm wondering if that will replace my old photo library completely?  Will I lose my photos and will I be able to convert them to my newer macbook pro?  Thank you for your help!
