Read Only DFF

Hi,
Is it possible to make just one of the DFF Attributes as READ-ONLY?
I'm able to make entire DFF read-only by using "Logical Apps - Apps Rules" Changing Securiy >DFF to No Update. Wonderinf If I can make just ONE segment read only instead of whole DFF.
Thanks much in Advance.

  • How to change the value in DFF to read only

    Hi,
    I need to change the DFF to read only after user entered the value and saved.
    Scenario:
    In oracle order management, order entry screen, User will enter the order and select the lot number in the DFF. After processing and closing the order, the user can call the order and change the lot number in the DFF. So i need to disable the DFF(i.e) change the lot number field from enter-able to read-only , After the order is processed and closed.
    Kindly give your suggestions to achieve this.
    Thanks,
    Karthi

    Using form personalization, you can display error message when user tries to update DFF field value.
    Triggering Event : WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
    Condition : (SELECT ATTRIBUTE20 FROM OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL WHERE HEADER_ID =:ORDER.HEADER_ID) <> :ORDER.ATTRIBUTE20
    Action : Error Message :   You cannot update Lot number.

    Descriptive Flex Fields (DFF) and Forms Personalization are features of the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) not a feature of Oracle Forms. Please post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. If you have just a Forms question, by all means ask it here.

  • Make Absence DFF read only.

    Hi,
    I want to make the additional absence details DFF read only. Using set_item_property, I can use,enabled but which is hiding the DFF altogether. I just want to make it greyed out so that users can see but can't enter anything. I tried different properties without any results. I also tried fnd_descr.update_definition() without any results. How to achieve this?

  • Need to make a dff field read only if it has data

    Hi,
    we added dffs to the manage sites page, i am extending the controller to do some validations of this DFF page. I need to make dff read only if it has some data. The following code is not working.
    public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext,OAWebBean webBean)
    super.processRequest(pageContext,webBean);
    OAApplicationModule xam = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean);
    OAViewObjectImpl DffVO = (OAViewObjectImpl)xam.findViewObject("SitesFlexVO");
    OAViewRowImpl DffRow = (OAViewRowImpl)DffVO.getCurrentRow();
    if(DffRow.getAttribute("Attribute1")!= null)
    OADescriptiveFlexBean dffBean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Attribute1");
    dffBean.setReadOnly(true);
    can you please suggest whats wrong and give me a correct solution.
    Thanks,
    Kiran M.

    Thanks for the reply nani,
    it didnot work, i am getting the following exception.
    ## Detail 0 ##
    java.lang.NullPointerException
         at xxtjx.oracle.apps.pos.supplier.webui.XXTJXByrMngSiteDFFCO50.processRequest(XXTJXByrMngSiteDFFCO50.java:43)
    The error line 43 in my code is
    dffBean.setReadOnly(true);
    so i feel there is something wrong with this command. I kept this validation in process request and i am able to fetch attribute values in process request. so i feel there is no issue fetching the attribute value. i feel its the issue with the set command.
    Let me know if you have any other solution.
    Thanks,

  • Iomega external hard drive either 'not found' by Time Machine or is now in 'read only' format

    I don't know what's going on with my iomega external hard drive.  Sometimes the HD is recognised by the computer; other times it isn't; if it isn't I can restore to an earlier back up via Time Machine app; but it's like the disk isn't writable.
    Ten days ago, I had trouble backing up my iMac using Time Machine.  After turning it off and restarting my external hard drive, it backed up successfully.
    However, today I am trying to back up my files, and TM tells me it can't find the external hard drive.  Nothing has changed -- I have been out of town this past week -- but somehow my HD now seems to be in 'read only' format.  It does turn on, and I could restore my computer to an earlier back up.
    "Mac OS X can't repair the disk.  You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk.  Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
    Annoyingly, despite my HD not showing in Finder or on my Desktop (as it usually does), when I simply turn it off I get that warning message "The disk was not ejected properly".
    Have tried verifying and repairing using Disk Utility, to no avail. 
    Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.  I'm guessing this would wipe the disk clean and I'd have to create the initial back up image all over again -- I'm reluctant to do this since this HD is my only back up and if it all goes tits up I'll be up that famous creek without a paddle.
    Thoughts, suggestions, input all welcome and deeply appreciated -- thank you!

    It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.
    Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.
    That will erase it.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
    It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
    I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast).  Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27.   If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups. 

  • Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
    I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
    I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
    The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
    My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
    I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
    - Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
    - Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
    If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
    Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
    It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.
