Question about creating links

I'm working with a 3D PDF. I'm interested in having a link only appear/be active when I click on a button, is there a way to do this (possibly via java script)? I have a button that flys to a view which has a comment with arrow pointing to an object. I would like the comment box to be where the link is placed, I just don't want to have the link there all the time, only after the button is pressed. Any help would be great, thank you.

What are you using to work on that PDF file - Adobe Acrobat? If so, it would be better to ask in the Acrobat forum.

Question About Broken Link

How do I determine the cause of an item being placed in the broken link list after doing a site check?

Rick and Ben:
You have been very patient with me
Guess at 81 I am starting to lose it - the code and screen shots I put in my email apparently did not make the trip
I will study how to use the forum tools and get back to you if I grasp the procedures required

A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

Hi,
I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
Thanks in advane,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

Portal Unstructured Template Question About Edit Links

Hi, I have an unstructured template that I'm making. If I want to use an image for my edit link instead of using this #PAGE.EDITPAGE.LABEL#
How would I block someone who is not allowed from editing a page from seeing the image?

Hi Lorenzo,
you can create a new ivew based on the component com.sap.km.cm.navigation or just copy the iView <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e8/e1401acdfd11d5994200508b5d5211/frameset.htm">Link List</a> located under "Portal Content / Content Provided by SAP / End User Content / Standard Portal Users / iViews / com.sap.km.iviews" and add it to your portal page.
Here you find more information about <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b6/29892e91601940bb7a2cd673a1dff5/content.htm">KM Navigation iViews</a> in general.
After that you go to "Organize Entries" and create some links via Links(Context menu) -> New -> External Link (Internal Links are lins to documents or folders inside KM).
The last thing you have to do is to set the correct permissions. For that you go to "Content Administration -> KM Content -> documents / Links" where you should see your created links and use the context menu to go "Details" -> "Settings" - "Permissions". Remove the group everyone and add the group of users who should be the only ones to see the link.
Do this proccess for every link and you should be done.
Hope this helps,
Robert

A question about creating READ ONLY users.

Dear all,
I have a question about read only user accounts and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. I have a schema named SCHEMA1. Whenever I want to connect by using sqlplus I run the following:
sqlplus user1/[email protected] SCHEMA1.WORLD is the entry in the tnsnames.ora referring to the schema SCHEMA1.
I need to create a read only user who is able to SELECT all tables and views created by user1 on SCHEMA1 (this user will not modifiy anything at all. The user is used only for a person using SQL queries to read data). for several tables I write the grants explicitly, for example:
CREATE USER user2 IDENTIFIED BY user2;
GRANT CREATE SESSION to user2;
GRANT SELECT ON S001_COR_ECLASS TO user2;
GRANT SELECT ON REF_ECLASS511 TO user2;Is there anyway to do the same thing but for all the tables (because there are a lot of tables and views)? Besides, even with these granted permissions when the user connects with SQL Developer to the database, he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUI. What causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Hello Dariyoosh,
he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUIyou can either go to "Other Users" - user1 - tables. There you see every table you have permission to select.
Or you can create a synonym in schema2 for each table in schema1 and set a filter on the tables node of user2 "Include synonyms".

A question about CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK and ORA-12154 error

Dear all,
I have a problem about public database link creation and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. I have the following connection parameters in my
tnsnames.ora file:
DGPAPROD.WORLD =
     (DESCRIPTION =
       (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY=tcp.world)
          (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ORASR001)(PORT=1521)
       (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = DGPAPROD))
...Having the above mentioned parameters I can connect to this remote database directly in a SQL*Plus shell:
$ sqlplus username/[email protected] works pretty well and the connection is established without any problem.
Now, what I would like to do is to create a public database link to this remote database in order to avoid the user/connection switching for viewing the
content of this database. I proceeded according to the syntax indicated in the Oracle online documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_5005.htm#SQLRF01205
Therefore I run the following in order to create a public database link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SR001_dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING 'DGPAPROD.WORLD';Apparently there is no error and the link is created successfully. However it cannot resolve the remote host and whenever I run the following query
(myenterprise is the name of a table in that remote database)
SELECT *
FROM myenterprise@SR001_dblink
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specifiedWhat causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

spajdy wrote:
You must have defined DGPAPROD.WORLD in tnsnames.oar on server where you DB is runnig.Hello there,
Thanks a lot for this nice solution. In fact I had to add the connection parameters into the tnsnames.ora file of the server on which the link was created (not the tnsnames.ora of my oracle client stored on the localhost)
After a bit googling I found another solution that allows to create the database link:
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SR001_dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY=tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ip_adresse)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = GPAPROD)))';Thanks a lot for your help!

Question about creating a link in a photoshop cs4 banner

Does anyone know the answer to this question??:
Does anyone know how to make a link clickable in photoshop cs4, say in a banner created in photoshop cs4, like a link to a website or an E-mail, without doing image map, but directly inside of photoshop cs4?? I need to know this ASAP!
Thank you,
Jon

HI Trevor.Dennis:
Question 1. Do you mean opening an image that I saved in Adobe Photoshop
CS4 to a folder on my computer?? Because I tried that and it wouldn't let
me do that.
Question 2. OR, since I cannot do that, how do I move an image from a
folder on my computer to InDesign??
Question 3. And then once in InDesign, how do I make links clickable??
Question 4. I'm enclosing a banner I made in Photoshop CS4 this afternoon,
and want to know how I can make

Let me know ASAP!!!

Very Nube Question About Creating a Very Basic Application Bundle / Package

I don't know anything about XCode or AppleScript, other than that they exist, so I'm coming at this with only conceptual knowledge of how applications on OS-X work. Nonetheless, I have a goal that I feel should be really easy to accomplish, I just don't know where to begin.
What I have is an html file with an embedded flash project that also references some outside files, such as pdfs for printing. This was designed to live on the web, but in reality it will be shipped out on a CD. Right now, if you insert the cd, you see the file contents (the above mentioned HTML file, as well as two folders containing the flash files and the pdfs that are embedded in or linked out from the html file).
This isn't very elegant, and doesn't accomplish the "app" feel I'm shooting for. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to create an application package that has the html file and content folders tucked inside of it, so that when a user clicks on the application package, the html file is automatically launched? What resources might you point me to in order to learn how to do this in a relatively short amount of time? (I'm not even positive if I'm using the correct terminology to search for solutions... is it an application package or an application bundle?)
Now for the limitations:
These files were generated on a Windows machine by an eLearning tool ("Articulate Presenter") and therefore really can't be fiddled with much. I can't open any of the flash files and change the directory paths for the resource files the main presentation needs. I'm fairly confident the presentation just refers to the folder the html file is in as its root, so if the file structure could stay relatively intact once all the files move inside this "bundle," I think everything will still work.
The Articulate Presenter folks aren't particularly helpful in solving Mac compatibility issues, so I thought I'd pose my question here. If I'm not being clear, I am happy to add additional details. Thanks very much for your patience with, and willingness to offer advice to, a complete newbie.
Cheers!

It's even easier than you think.
Open AppleScript Editor.
Type in the following code:
set htmlFile to (POSIX path of (path to me)) & "Contents/Resources/index.html"
set openCommand to "open " & quoted form of htmlFile
do shell script openCommand
Then do File > Save, and use 'Application' as the file format.
Then the "Bundle Contents" button on the toolbar will be enabled. Click it to open up the drawer.
Drag your HTML content and resources into the drawer.
Do File > Save again. Ta-da, you have your web-content packaged as an application.
This assumes that the top-level has a file named index.html. If not, modify to suit.

Question about creating libraries in Forte'

I'm looking into creating compiled libraries in Forte' to create a
"plug-and-play" interface among different implementation products. This
would allow us the ability to remove one library and upgrade it with
another assuming that the interfaces were the same. I'm using the
AddProjToLib to create a "super library" and am setting all of the
components as compiled. I am able to make the application distribution
with no problem. The problems that I am having are two-fold:
1) First auto-compile services cannot handle this "super project"
correctly. Don't get me wrong I HATE autocompile services but I decided to
give it a shot and see what happened. With that avenue gone, I went to
fcompile the individual libraries...these have to be done by supplier plan
order which is no big deal. The problem I ran into was that Forte' lower
cases all of the directory names, but the linker expected in some cases
that the directories would have some uppercase letters. The general rule
of thumb I found was that the directory name has to match the library name
generated. Forte' generated the library name with the proper letters
uppercase, but failed to do this to the directory structure. Obviously
this makes automating library creation a little more painful. This really
isn't a show stopper just a point I'd like to bring up in case and Forte'
people actually read these threads.
2) The major road block I ran into is the fact the Forte' statically
stores the full path of the libraries it is using during link/compilation
in the generated shared library. Forte's solution of just creating
symlinks (solution I found from their Technical Notes) is appalling at best
and does not support having multiple versions of libraries built from a
single installation running on the same machine (Unless you do simulated
environments to create a pseudo-new area...but I don't want to get into
that). Currently we are doing something extremely hoaky to solve this
problem with the few libraries that we have, but if we move to a more large
scale library solution this will not work.
I would love to hear any comments or suggestions about any of this. It is
sad that Forte' does not implement such a basic concept as SHLIB_PATH in
their shared libraries. By not doing this, it makes compiled libraries a
major hassle and potentially a waste of time.
Thanks for any comments that you might have in advance,
Scott Francis

Questions about creating a foreign key on a large table

Hello @ll,
during a database update I lost a foreign key between two tables. The tables are called werteart and werteartarchiv_pt. Because of its size, werteartarchiv_pt is a partitioned table. The missing foreign key was a constraint on table werteartarchiv_pt referencing werteart.
Some statistics about the sizes of the mentioned tables:
werteart 22 MB
werteartarchiv_pt 223 GB
werteartarchiv_pt (Index) 243 GB
I tried to create the foreign key again, but it failed with the following error (Excuses for the german error message):
sqlplus ORA-00604: Fehler auf rekursiver SQL-Ebene 1
sqlplus ORA-01652: Temp-Segment kann nicht um 128 in Tablespace TEMPS00 erweitert
The statement I used:
alter table werteartarchiv_pt
add constraint werteartarchiv_pt_fk1
foreign key (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
references werteart (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
on delete cascade
initially deferred deferrable;
So the problem seems to be, that Oracle needs a lot of temporary tablespace to generate the foreign key and I do not know how much and why.
My questions now are, and hopefully someone is here, who can answer all or a part of it:
1) Why does Oracle need temporary tablespace to create the foreign key? The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.
2a) Is it possible to tweak the statement without using the temporary tablespace?
2b) If it is not possible to avoid the usage of the temporary tablespace, is there a formula how to calculate the needed temporary tablespace?
3) Is it possible to modify data in the tables while the foreign key is created or is the whole table locked during the process?
Any help or hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Bjoern

The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.Because it's validating the data to ensure the foreign key won't be violated. If you had specified ENABLE NOVALIDATE when creating it then the existing data in the table wouldn't need to be checked and the statement should complete instantly (future data added would be checked by the constraint).

Question about "Create Item" page

Im working on trying to Insert a new item into a Self-Service Web Applications page.
As part of my research, I have been looking at this doc:
Oracle® Application Framework
Personalization Guide
Release 11i
Part No. B25439-02
From:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/acrobat/115fwkpg.pdf
The document does not seem to go into much detail about how to Insert an item on a page. I also checked the "OA Component Reference" document.
I checked the online help via "Create Item Page" - e.g.
http://oursite/pls/PSAT/fndgfm/fnd_help.get/US/FND/CUST_PERSADMIN_CREATEITEM.HTM
Again, that doesn't give a lot of information.
As part of my testing / research, I would like to add a new Item to a page, and have the value of the item to be taken from an existing SQL Query.
For example, in iProcurement, when viewing a Requisition Details, e.g. via this page:
http://oursite/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/icx/por/reqmgmt/webui/ReqDetailsPG&reqHeaderId={!!BX6R96mkQOcfNZ60BeTaJQ}&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y&_ti=245778094&PersonalizationParam=PersonalizationParamAdmin&oapc=12&oas=mYF7zP1VI7xoAWcUQHTEkQ..
I would like to add in the "NOTE_TO_AUTHORIZER" field from the "po.po_requisition_headers_all" table.
From looking at the "About this Page" link, I can see there is a View Object called "oracle.apps.icx.por.reqmgmt.server.ReqHeaderVO".
This ViewObject contains an Attribute called "NoteToAuthorizer" with a Type of "java.lang.String".
When I go to the "Create Item" page, and choose and Item Style of "Message Styled Text" there seems to be no way to say which database field you want to include.
From looking at a previous customisation that a developer did, I can see you can pull in an Attribute via the "View Attribute" field, and link in the VO via the "View Instance" field.
When inserting database values into a Self-Service page, can we only insert Attributes, and not any of the other regular fields from View Objects?
Apologies for the rambling essay.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jimr,
In OAF sql queries are represented by View Objects and columns of query will be represented by View Attribute.
For every column in query there will be corresponding view attribute name, so while adding any item on self service page which represents data from database you need to specify view instance name and view attribute name, which will specify which column and from which query it will show the data.
*"When I go to the "Create Item" page, I can't work out how to tell Oracle that the Item I want to create should be the "NoteToAuthorizer" field from the "ReqHeaderVO" ViewObject."* so ReqHeaderVO1 will be the instance(by default OAF generates instance like this) and "NoteToAuthorizer" can be mentioned in View Attribute name property.
Let me know if you need further clarification.

Reetesh Sharma

Question about creating association between Sharepoint BDC entities using Visual Studio 2010

I am following this tutorial:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vssharepointtoolsblog/archive/2010/08/02/walkthrough-of-creating-association-between-sharepoint-bdc-entities-using-visual-studio-2010.aspx
I am getting the following error:
There is an error in the TypeDescriptors of Parameters on Method with Name 'CustomerToOrder' on Entity (External Content Type) with Name 'Customer' in Namespace 'BdcAssociationSample.BdcModel1'. The TypeDescriptors incompletely define where the Foreign
Identifiers of Entity 'Order' in Namespace 'BdcAssociationSample.BdcModel1' are to be read. That Entity expects exactly '1' Identifiers, but only '0' TypeDescriptors with the correct Association were found from which to read them.
I have viewed the following:
http://lightningtools.com/business_connectivity_services/the-typedescriptors-incompletely-define-where-the-identifiers-of-entity-x-are-to-be-readbcs-error/
after reading that article, I am still not sure what setting I am missing. Does anyone have the full working source code from the msdn article linked above?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got the symbols not loaded error.
First try rebuilding your project by right mouse click the project > Rebuild If that doesn't work, try a clean of the project (right mouse click on the project > clean)
If that didn't work check this:
Right mouse click your project
select [Properties]
select the [Build] tab
make sure [Define DEBUG constant] and [Define TRACE constant] are checked
Click the [Advanced] button at the bottom of the Build tabpage
Make sure that [Debug Info:] is set to [full]
Click [OK] and rebuild the project ;
Hope that works for you! (step 6 generates the .pdb files, these are the debugging symbols)
What’s more, you can clean & re-compile the code, then install the respective dlls one more time to GAC (just remove them before adding to GAC again), do an IISReset to check whether it works.

Some questions about creating web animations with lighter data and exporting to vector Flash format.

Hi, I will be creating animations in After Effects mostly using Illustrator vector files and will be exporting to SWF or XFL for using the animations on the web.
One of the priorities is light data as possible to provide viewers with slower connections with better experience. However the animation should also impress and I need to find a balance between performance and possible imagery. The animations may have sound and voice narrative.
I need help with understanding which type of non-vector data is heavier than others. Non-vector image data or sound and voice? And from non-vector image data is some of it lighter or heavier than other - for example motion blur vs smooth gradient vs many colors?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, tips, pointers, etc.,

Let's do a little "Myth Busters" on that one, shall we?
Vector data is per se not "lighter" than pixel data. You could have complex paths for which storing the information of the individual nodes takes up more space than a pixel image of the object.
Dynamic rasterization of vector data costs CPU performance and may in effect make things more slow than just playing a series of pixel images. That would apply to anything from path strokes to gradients.
All your pretty AI vectors don't mean anything if they are constructed in such a way that either AE or Flash need to rasterize them on import. Anything from converting Bezier paths to paths consisting of dense linear segments to converting fills, patterns, gradient meshes and so on to pixel data
Pixels are pixels. It does not matter whether they are gradients, mothionblur or just non-antialiased shapes. Flash doesn't care and neither image format that may be used in Flash stores any more or less info. They only differ in their methods, but in the end it's for you to decide whether you use JPEG, PNG8 or PNG24. They all have their pros and cons.
It makes a difference, if data is embedded in an SWF or if it is externally linked just as it makes a difference whether you enforce audio sync or not, playing every frame or not.
So for all intends and purposes, it's still up to you to make up your own mind and find the best solution. And Rick has a point - if you're really that concerned about efficiency, then do it in Flash or Flash Catalyst and consider the options there that may help like GPU accelerated layer styles for drop shadows etc., dynamic text or your vector data remaining vector in teh first place.

Question about creating and updating new columns in a table

Hi, I have a couple of questions that would love some answers to
Please bear in min that questions relate to datawarehouse / Just large tables with say about 50 million records
1) How do you create new columns in a big table
2) how do you update the new columns
3) would you create an index on a column in a table with 200m rows when the only two possible values are stored in the column (e.g.Y, N) - give your resason
my aswers to these would be
1) simple alter table ...
2) simple update statements
3) No need to create an index
I might be wrong on these in the context of datawarehouse
cheers
css_jay99

If the number of Y vs. N is about 50/50, you only have to parse through 50% of the
overall amount of columns.Fnord. If the ratio of Y to N was 1:20 then the index would be useful for searching for values of Y only. Or if the column is nullable and the bulk of the entries were null then it might be useful. But a 50/50 split? FTS is much more effective.
So, it does depend on the data distribution, but in most cases such an index would never be used (or should never be used).

Question about Creating DataSources for FlatFile Data Acquisition

Hello eveyone,
I am trying to create flatfile datasources. I've been checking out the existing ds in my dev system and there are some infrastructure here that have loaded data in them, all via their won flatfile DS. I've been looking at the DS and am trying to figure out logic in which they are defined. I saw that most of the fields are defined in CHAR even if they pertain to fields like quantity, Amount and so on... They are also in the Internal format. Yet they have been successfully loaded...
My question is: what are the rules of thumb in defining the DS? How do i go about in mapping the fields to objects in the system? Can anyone please give me the step-by-step scenario as to how to do this please?
Many thanks,
Philips

Hi Philip,
Pls. try the following steps ..may be helpful.
1. when ever you want to create a flat file structure..keep in mind that, what are
    fields data available in your file. second thing is you need to know the IO of
    the info provider in which you are uploading.
2. simply create your own DS with PC File, and other hand open up your infprovider, and keep on check with your flat file what is the sequence of the data
fields and what are they corresponds to in the cube/ODS
3. As your flat file sequence, keep on identify the related IO of your provider and
copy it individual and paste it in your infosouce one by one as sequence of your
flat file..
4. No need to think of what type of data it is and how it is..
5. simply copy all your correponding IO (what ever of their type) even including
    some of the ref. IO.
6. And finally save and activate your DS creation.
I hope it would help in creating your own Flat File DS.
Need further info revert...
Cheers,
Thanks=Points.
