Properties view usability

Hello,
From my experience with Sirius I think that it would be nice for usability purposes to be able to open in a pop-up/wizard only the semantic tab of the Properties view (without the rulers or appearance) by double-clicking (using Double Click Descriptors I suppose) on an representation element (digram, table, tree...).
I read some documentation about opening eef wizard on double-click herehttps://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/viewpoint-eef.html#OpeningEEFwizardonadoubleclick, but I found it difficult to integrate with EEF. Can't one just make the semantic tab show up as is?
Regards

Hello,
A solution could be to create a Double-Click tool that will next
delegate the job to your own Service or Java Action (instead of the EEF
Java Action) that will open the properties view. Unfortunately, there is
no default Java Action provides by Sirius to open a properties view wizard.

Florian

Problems with properties view

Hi guys.
I have one problem that I cant fix. First of all I am going to describe my project.
I using EMF for my models, and I have my own navigator and couple editors for models. Some of editors have table with list of models as input and some add/remove buttons. My navigator and editors implementing ITabbedPropertySheetPageContributor to return contributor id, and override getAdapter() like this:
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
@Override
public Object getAdapter(Class adapter) {
if (adapter == IPropertySheetPage.class) {
return new TabbedPropertySheetPage(this);
return super.getAdapter(adapter);
So properties are showing for all models (even same) in navigator and editor. Also I have undo action on my project, this action it is handler that calls UIUndoLastOperationController.
If I try to delete model from Editors table, content provider notifies listener (SelectionChangedListener) in TabbedPropertySheetPage, and selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent event) method is called, that hide properties view. But if I try to create new model in my table, go to navigator and call Undo action (created model disappear from table) and go back to Editor - properties view are no hide, and listener in TabbedPropertySheetPage is not notified.
Could anybody help my with this problem, maybe someone already had this problem.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Best regards, Ruslan.

NWDS - Persistence Outline/Persistence Properties View

Hi,
When i develop a new EJB 3.0 project, add persistence to it and generate entities i find that Persistence Properties View and Persistence Outline view are populated and i can work as has been described in the documentation.
However when i open the imported the EDM EJB application and open any entity for e.g. Employee or Project these two views dont get populated.
Am i doing something in a different way or is this is default behaviour.
Regards
Sidharth

Hi Sidharth!
In order to work with Persistence Properties view and Persistence Outline view (Dali plugin) you have to mark your current project as being an Java Persistence project. The EDM EJB application was developed without using the Dali plugin and thus they are not activated for use with Dali.
If you wish to use Dali with this project you have to open the context menu of the project, choose "Java Persistence" and then "add Java Persistence". After that you will be guided through a wizard that connects your EJB project at design-time with the underlying data source. If you are asked for the database connection, use the preconfigured JP1 connection with the schema SAPDEMO. Furthermore you should uncheck the checkbox for creating a new persistence.xml because there is already one that you probably don't want to override. After finishing the wizard you are ready to use the Dali plugin with your project.

How to prevent editing a SharePoint site column value from document properties view of a downloaded document?

Hi,
We have created a SharePoint site column with below settings
1. ShowInEditForm - False
2. ShowInNewForm - False
3. ShowInDisplayForm - True
With the above definition, the site column showing only in view properties form not in New and Edit forms. This column is added to a document library and updating this column value will be managed by event receiver code when a document is uploaded.
Till this point, everything is working OK.
But the issue is when we download and open a document from the above document library, under document properties the above column (with value) is visible along with other document default properties and this column value is editable. With this issue,
user is able to set a new value and overwrite the existing value by re-uploading the document.
Could you please let me know how to handle this issue so that user should not be allowed to edit except viewing the value/property (read only)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ramesh

You can set "ShowInFileDlg" property of field to "FALSE". Using this you will not see that field in document properties list

CONFIGURATION PROPERTIES VIEW ON OWB

Hi people, we want to know if there is some view or table on OWB Repository where we can see the values of the Configuration Properties dialog for each mapping.
Otherwise we have to open OWB client, expand the mappings tree and open the Dialog for each mapping.
Our OWB version is 10g R1 10.1.0.1.
Thanks in advance for your help.
JESUS B.H.

I'm not sure about a view or table but there are a useful set of experts for working with configuration values. Look in the Utilities, Tips & Tricks Exchange link on the OWB OTN page and search for Expert. It is listed for 10GR2 so I'm not sure if it works on your version. It uses OMB scripting though, so you could look at that to get the configuration properties.

DB read only access role with properties view of a database

Hi,
We need to access database properties for SQL server 2000/2005/2008. I am pretty sure that 2005/2008 can be accessed with db_datareader role. Not sure whether same can be used with SQL 2000 instances. CAn anyone provide clarity on this?

You can use db_datareader on SQL 2000, but as Satish says, you don't need it only to access database properties.

File System Location properties: view path (OWB 11..2.0.1 Windows)

Newbee question:
From the tutorial "Handling Flat File and COBOL Copybook Sources in Mappings", I imported the metadata for ETL_OWNER. It contains file locations such as SRC_FLAT_FILES_LOCATION but I cannot find any way to view its path in the file system. I created my own file locations where I can specify a path in the Create File System Location wizard, but afterwards, I can neither inspect nor change the path.
Thanks for help
Sebastian

Thank's for help, I am simply not used to the user interface. The Connections Explorer seems to have disappeared in 11gR2 but the Locations node still exists, listing all file locations. However, the property inspector does not display the file's path, somewhat counterintuitively. Double-klicking the file location opens the Edit window containing the path.

Third Party Component Support in Design View

in this article："
http://flexwiki.adobe.com/confluence/display/ADOBE/Flex+Builder+3+Planning"
the follow is shown:
Third Party Component Support in Design View
Planned milestone: M3
Flex Builder should have better support for third-party
components in design view. Also, the components view and the
properties view should be just as good for 3rd party components as
it is for Adobe Flex components like charting and advanced data
grid controls.
* The component author should be able to specify the
category for the Components panel.
* The component author should be able to control the
Standard View property sheet including the Common and Style
categories
* A component developer should be able to deliver a single
component in a SWC that contains all appropriate information
* The component author should be able to include Design view
extension code to specify Design View surface behavior
* The component author should be able to specify the default
code that gets inserted when a component is dropped on the stage
I wonder how to specify the category for my components, is
that some compile options or some configure file?
thx

/bump
Noone any information about that topic? This would be a great
usability enhancement...

View attributes can not be retrieved. View instance not found or undefined

Hi,
I am creating a simple master detail OAF page. For this I have done following steps:
1. Created ParentEO and ChildEO
2. Created ParentVO with a transient attribute called "SelectFlag" with default value "Y" .
3. Created ChildVO
4. Created a UserViewLink.
5. Created Application module (UserAM).
6. New Page UserPG
7. In the main region I have defined Application Module.
8. Under the main region, I have created a new advanced table region with following properties:
View Instance : ParentVO1
Detail View Attribute : SelectFlag
View Link Instance: UserViewLink.
Now when I click to select the "Child View Attribute", it gives a pop up saying "View attributes can not be retrieved. View instance not found or undefined".
Please help, I am not able to proceed on this.
Thanks,
Anupam

Anupam,
I do not see in your steps where you associated the VO with the AM. In order to select an attribute, the AM must have an instance of the VO associated with it. Double click the AM in the navigator. Click Data Model and shuttle the VO's you want to be available from the left to the right.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report Viewer error out when running multiple instances

Hi,
I am using java 1.4 with BO XI R3.0.
I notice I can only run one report at a time. If I was to run two reports, the 1st report will error out while 2nd report will run to its completion. Reports run on separate popup windows. I have tested with IE6, IE8 and also FireFox 3.0
Depending on the timing, I get different kinds of error.
"A request was cancelled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server. [RCIRAS9190] [RASLIB9002] "
"The Report Processing Server session you are using to connect is in the process of being shut down. You need to retry. [RCIRAS0200]"
I am using PSReportFactory and set parameters into CrystalReportViewer to display.
processParametersu2026
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
pfieldDV = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
pfieldDV.setValue(formatViewerParameterInputValue(tempRpt[1],tempParam[x]));
pfield.getCurrentValues().add(pfieldDV);
viewerParameters.add(pfield);
viewer.setParameterFields(viewerParameters);
createCrystalViewer(m_oReportWrap.getRequest(), response, sInstanceId,viewer);
private void createCrystalViewer(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response2, String sInstanceId, CrystalReportViewer viewer) throws ReportSDKExceptionBase, FileNotFoundException, IOException, SDKException

         IInfoStore iStore = oLogon.getInfostore();
         IInfoObject rptObject = findInfoObject(iStore,sInstanceId);
         IReportSourceFactory rptFactory =    IReportSourceFactory)eSession.getService("","PSReportFactory");
         IReportSource reportSource = rptFactory.openReportSource(rptObject,Locale.ENGLISH);
         IReport report = (IReport)rptObject;
        ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
        ConnectionInfos connInfo = new ConnectionInfos();
        ServletContext sc = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
        String realPath = sc.getRealPath("");
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        viewer.setOwnPage(true);
        viewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfo);
        viewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
        viewer.setURI(request.getRequestURI() + "?reportID=" + rptObject.getID() + &viewerType=vwrTypeJavaSDK&viewID=1");
        viewer.setEnterpriseLogon(eSession);
        viewer.setHyperLink("New Window");
        viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response2, sc, null);

Thanks to both of you.
I actually was able to resolved this issue by tracking the values inside IEnterpriseSession.
// Perform Crystal Enterprise Logon
ISessionMgr oSessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();
IEnterpriseSession m_oCESession = oSessionMgr.logon(sUserid, sPassword, sSystemName, getSecTypeString(iSecType));
System.out.println("in logon m_oCESession "+m_oCESession);
The UserInfo in the SeucuritySession: userInfo was always null so whatever i pass in, it was not storing them.
(EnterpriseSession:logon=(SecuritySession:userInfo=null)
All i need to do is to add   IUserInfo userInfo = null; before IEnterpriseSession then it will store the user & password.

How can I select properties from dropdown lists using only the keyboard?

Hi,
I am using SAP Netweaver Studio and when modifying UI elements in views, I want to select the value for a property from the corresponding dropdown list in the Properties view using only the keyboard.
When a property row is selected, "Enter" toggles to Edit mode, Alt+ArrowDown expands the list, but ArrowUp or ArrowDown directly selects the previous/next item list and changes to Selected mode. Which key is used to navigate between the list items without selecting them immediately?
Thanks a lot. I deal with lots of views and this would save me quite a few massage hours

How to config for only "View Latest Instance" is available in infoview ?

Hi,
The BO version is "BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0"
The purpose is in infoview, for each report user can see, only the feature "View Latest Instance" is available.
I have tried to set the access right, but at least, the user has below features:
View
Properties
View Latest Instance
History
New
Add
Organize
Is there any idea to do remove the "View" feature but keep others there ?
Thanks & regards,
Forest
Edited by: Forest lin on Dec 5, 2008 12:06 PM

Hi Forest
I would like to make following suggestion :
The option "View" and can not be removed. It is the primary right to access the Report.
If there is no right "View Objects", Report will not appear in the desired folder.
It is important to have "View Objects" right which will make "View" appear. Once this right is present
rest of the situation for Report can be imagined.

Retaining PDF Viewing Preferences

This question is two parts:
1) whenever I open my PDF it shows me page width. I have tried setting preferences to full page but next time I open it is sstill at page width. If I set a page to full page, the page I'm on will temporarily set to full page, but all subsequent ones go to page width. I've changed preferences, properties, view page display but nothing sticks.
2) I'd like to save to either full page or two pages and have anyone I send this to open to however I have set it up (I've made a brochure). Is that possible?
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP.

You set the initial view propertied in the document properties (control-D):

Hosts/Library systems don't show as requiring any updates/no new updates in compliance properties despite being assigned

We have VMM 2012 R2. In Sept/Oct of 2014 we were able to update all resources in VMM (Library Servers and Hyper-V hosts) by creating an update baseline and then adding updates to it. However, since then, when i create a new Update Baseline, add
updates to it and assign it to servers, when i scan against it, they don't show as requiring any new updates and are compliant with all existing updates.
I've verified the updates are in my new update baseline. When i click on a library server (the update server for example), and right click and select Compliance Properties, i can see all the baselines assigned to that system. It shows all the
updates in each baseline, and in the existing baselines from Sept/Oct, there are updates in that baseline. It also shows my baselines from November and December, but it doesn't show any updates in those.
Whether I create a new baseline or add updates to an existing baseline (whether that's an Nov/Dec or Sept/Oct baseline), no updates show up under Compliance Properties of an assigned server. They do show up in the actual Update Baseline under Library
| Update Catalog and Baselines | Update Baselines.
Any thoughts? I'm stumped

Thanks for the suggestion. I did just check one client and it did have an older version of the VMM Client. I went ahead and updated it and then scanned it again and it is still showing as compliant, but there are no new updates showing in the
'Compliance Properties'. I then rebooted that client, thinking maybe a reboot was necessary after upgrading the VMM client, but no change. Here's a screenshot of the compliance properties for that client post-upgrade:
Notice how in the '2014 Monthly Updates -012 December' update baseline there are no updates listed, but there are in other Update Baselines? When I add updates to any baseline, new or existing, they don't show up in this Compliance Properties view.

HTML view in Web Dynpro

Hello everybody,
   I'm developing an application and i need to display a html page inside a view.
   I'm developing in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, Version: 7.1.0 and UI element like iFrame, or IView does not exists.
   Do you have a suggestion, idea or advice?
Thank you,
Constantin

Hi Constantin,
For writing Html in iFrame u can use com.lowagie.text package and u can use these inbuild classes.
com.lowagie.text.BadElementException;
com.lowagie.text.Cell;
com.lowagie.text.Chunk;
com.lowagie.text.Document;
com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
com.lowagie.text.Element;
com.lowagie.text.Image;
com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
com.lowagie.text.Table;
com.lowagie.text.html.HtmlWriter;
com.lowagie.text.rtf.style.RtfFont;
first u have to create a method
like this
private void <method name>() {
          try {
               String filename = this.<name/id> + ".html";
               IPrivateView.IContextElement elem =
                    wdContext.createContextElement();
               elem.setRTFOutPut(getBytesFromFile(new File(filename)));
               final IWDCachedWebResource resource =
                    WDWebResource.getWebResource(
                         elem.getRTFOutPut(),
                         WDWebResourceType.HTML);
               //resource.setResourceName("HTML_inline.html"); original
               resource.setResourceName("HTML_inline"this.<name/id>".html");
               resource.setAttachement(false);
               resource.setReadOnce(false);
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setUrl(resource.getAbsoluteURL());
          } catch (WDURLException e) {
               logger.errorT(e.getMessage());
               wdThis.wdGetPortfolioMessagesInterface().reportError(
                    "<custom message",
                    <Parameters>,
                    true);
               //wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(new WDNonFatalException(e), false);
               //e.printStackTrace();
than for writing in iframe create a method like this.
private void generateIframe() {
          String newLine = "";
          Document doc = new Document();
          String filename = this.<name/id> + ".html";
          HtmlWriter html = null;
          try {
               RtfFont rtffontN = new RtfFont(FONT, FONT_SIZE, RtfFont.NORMAL);
               RtfFont rtffont = new RtfFont(FONT, FONT_SIZE, RtfFont.BOLD);
               RtfFont headfont = new RtfFont(FONT, 12, RtfFont.BOLD);
               DataOutputStream ds =
                    new DataOutputStream(new ByteArrayOutputStream());
               ds = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(filename));
               html = HtmlWriter.getInstance(doc, ds);
               //html = HtmlWriter.getInstance(doc,new FileOutputStream(filename));
               doc.open();
//now here u can use the classes like Cell ,table,Document for writing the html code in the iFRAME .for more information on this u can refer this site all the api documentation is given here.
http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/
after writing the html code using com.lowagie.text package.
at the end call the method which u declared earlier to this method.and create a context element URL map it to the source of Iframe in properties view.
Please Reward points for an helpfull answer.
Regards,
Siddharth jain.
