Read Only RPD Group

Can you create a group in the OBIEE Admin Tool (RPD) that has read only rights to the RPD? I want to grant access to the RPD to a group of users, but do not want them to be able to make any changes to the RPD. Is this possible?

hi,
Only a user who belongs to Administrators group can access/login to rpd there no question of having read only access to rpd
Thanks,

Read-only radio group losing value on validation error

It took quite a while to track this down, but I think I've got it narrowed down properly. I have an APEX form for updating a record in a databse table with a radio group which is conditionally read-only. If that radio group has a value AND is read-only, when the form is submitted and hits a validation error, the value of the radio group is lost.
For example, the radio group SUBMITTED_FOR_APPROVAL is set to Y and is read-only for a given user. That user then changes something else on the form and submits it. However, the form now hits a validation error for some field. When the form reloads with the validation error displayed, all the fields are restored except the read-only radio group which is now blank. If a select list is used with the identical read-only condition, it works fine. Likewise, if a radio group is used, but the read-only condition is removed, it works fine. It is only when it is a radio group and it is read-only, that the value does not appear to be submitted to the session with all the form values whent he form is submitted.
Is this a bug or am I simply missing something?

It's using a shared component LOV cleverly called LOV_YN which consists of a static LOV with
1 Display=Yes, Return=Y
2 Display=No, Return=N
The settings in the LOV section on the item iteself:
Named LOV: LOV_YN
Display Extra values: No Dynamic translation: Not translated
Number of columns: 2 Display null: No
Null display value is blank as is null return value
Item was setup as a radio group and was only converted over to a select list to work around this issue. Let me know what else you need and thanks again.

Can an unique index be created on read only cache group

Hi
Can an unique index be created on read only cache group
Regards
Siva Kumar

No, I do not think so. Creating a unique index could cause autorefresh operations to fail if the data being refreshed contains duplicate values that would not be allowed by the index. You can create regular indexes on a table in a readonly cache group.

Read Only for "Group" and "Others" via SMB

I see when Windows vista users of my OS X 10.5.8 server save a file to the server, the permissions show on the server as Read & Write for the owner and Read Only for 'Group' and 'Others'.
Is there a way I can make the OS X server always make 'Group' and 'Others' always be Read & Write?
Thanks!

Suggestions required for Read-only cache group in timesten IMDB cache

Hi
In IMDB Cache , If the underlying oracle RAC is having two schemas ( "KAEP" & "AAEP" , having same sturcture and same name of objects ) and want to create a Read-only cache group with AS pair in timesten.
Schema
    KAEP
Table
    Abc1
    Abc2
    Abc3
Schema
    AAEP
Table
    Abc1
    Abc2
    Abc3
Can a read-only cache group be created using union all query ?
The result set of the cache group should contain both schema records in timesten read-only cache group will it be possible ?
Will there be any performance issue?

You cannot create a cache group that uses UNION ALL. The only 'query' capability in a cache group definition is to use predicates in the WHERE clause and these must be simple filter predicates on the tables in the cache group.
Your best approach is to create separate cache groups for these tables in TimesTen and then define one or more VIEWS using UNION ALL in TimesTen in order to present the tables in the way that you want.

PSE 10 Can't edit read-only layer groups (a.k.a. I just want to make a custom DVD menu in Elements)

A little background: I wanted to make a custom menu so I opened a copy of one of the canned menu.PSD files in PS Elements 10. It opened up with all layers and their sublayers showing. So far, so good. I did a bunch of editting and had my menu just about right, saved it and burned a DVD with it. I saw some corrections that I needed to make so I opened the same .PSD file and it showed all the main layers (with the folder icon) but not the attached layers.
I double-clicked to open these layers and got:
"You are attempting to open a group, which is not supported in Photoshop Elements. The layers in this group will be simplified into a single layer. Simplify the layers? Yes No."
I was just editing these things the day before yesterday. All I've done since then is register my software online. I have seen it stated in this forum that "Elements doesn't support layer group/sets" but it was referring to an earlier version I'm guessing.
Question 1: Is this still true of PSE 10?
Question 2: If so, how was I editing them the other day?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Joe

If you haven't uninstalled premiere elements then it should work, but there are a few things that will not work when editing the dvd templates:
(it only works on certain dvd templates and only on a machine with premiere elements installed)
*If you change the document dimensions either larger or smaller. (not the size of the elements in the template but the overall size such as using
Image>Resize>Image Size or Canvas Size)
*If you delete any of the layer groups
*Changing the name of the document
There are probably other causes and they may know more on the premiere elements forum:

Read-only radiogroup with default doesn't save state in 2.0

Hi,
I upgraded to HTMLDB 2.0 and noticed a change in behavior. Namely, when I have a read-only radio group with a default value and a not-null validation, the validation claims fails although a radio button is selected from the disabled radio group.
Here's a small app I generated to demonstrate the issue:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34464
Go there and try to create a new EMP.
The only things added after the generation are:
1. Not-null validations on several of the fields
2. Changed MGR to a "Select List"
3. Changed DEPTNO to a radio group with these properties:
a) default value type: static; default value: 20
b) read-only when: P2_EMPNO is Null
This used to work fine in 1.6 - namely, the default value got it to the session state and consequently the validation succeeded and the new record was created with the default value.
It also works fine if the Radio Group is not read-only.
I was able to fix the problem by adding a calculation to the P2_DEPTNO item to set the default value there. This of course does not show the default on the form for the new record, so I had to keep the default on the item level as well - which is a potential source of bugs when those two defaults somehow get different values (e.g., when I change only one of them and forget about the other) - the user will see one thing displayed while another will be saved. So any solutions involving keeping the default value on only one place AND visible to the end user when creating new records are welcome.
I haven't had time yet to test with other item types - maybe next week...
Have a nice weekend!
Flado

Scott,
Yes, in 1.6 this used to work fine - the radiogroup was displayed as disabled, and the default value was selected, and the not-null validation succeeded, and all I did was set the default value of the radiogroup. I have no 1.6 environment anymore to test it, but I'm sure it was working, because after I upgraded to 2.0, it stopped working and I got a bug report from a user very, very quickly :-(.
By "adding a calculation to the P2_DEPTNO item" I mean "adding a computation of the P2_DEPTNO item to the page". Sorry about me being lazy here. It was (still is, in my production application) a conditional after-submit computation (if <primary key item> is null, set <radiogroup item> to <default value>)
Thank you for the suggestion. I implemented it in the demo app. What I did was:
1. remove the default value from P2_DEPTNO
2. Add an unconditional after-header computation that assigns P2_DEPTNO with the static value 20
I am able to create new EMPs now, but nothing is selected in the disabled radiogroup on the create page, although the value 20 is saved in the session state before the items are rendered, according to the debug info (you can try it out and see).
To recap, I still need to keep the default value in two places: default of the radiogroup (to get it displayed on the create form), and in a computation (to set the session state).
Cheers,
Flado

Read Only Display of Radio group and Text area with counter not working

Hello,
I am using Apex 3.2, with 10g for the database
I have this form, with fields that will set to read only when status = 'closed'
All of the fields display as read only except for 2. I cannot figure out why this is not working correctly.
1st field is Issues that is a text area with character counter, with a sql query behind it, that is set to null unless the query is pulling in the data.
2nd field is Status which is a radio group that will not display as read only when status = 'closed'
I have other fields on the form with the same format and they change to read only when the status = 'closed', I have even copied the pl/sql expression from one field to these fields and it still doesn't work correctly. I have also tried javascript for an on load event, which works, but once I click on the save button, it disables all of the page items, which works correctly, but I purposely forget to enter information, to make sure the validations are firing correctly, which it does, but the script disables everything, not allowing me to correct the errors. The javascript is firing on the on page load event.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Mary

Dung,
That API seems to have a bug, it returns true/false/null, so you could use 'return not nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name => 'APP Admin'),false)' to get a false value.
Unfortunately there's another problem: using the read-only attributes for checkbox or radiogroup item makes them hidden. My suggestion would be to create another item that has disabled="disabled" in the HTML Form Element attribute in the item definition and display that item or the non-disabled item alternately, using conditions based on the current_user_in_group logic.

Radio group read only problem

Hi,
I have three radio group items that are defined EXACTLY the same except for the label and associated database column. Each radio group item uses the same named LOV for "Yes" and "No". Each field contains either a "Y" or "N" value.
When the "read-only" condition is satisfied, two of the three radio group items incorrectly do not have either the "Yes" or "No" radio button checked. When I change all three fields from "radio group" to "select list" then all three fields display either a "Yes" or "No" value correctly.
Doesn't the radio group work when the read-only condition is satisfied? Is there a work-around to it?
Thanks, Andy

We are using APEX version 2.0.
Has this been fixed in version 2.2?

Restricting certain users groups to read only for certain folders

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but hey, hopefully someone might now the answer or direct me to the correct one.
I'm writing a VB program to amend ACLs for specific user groups.
Effectively, I make all prior year folders read only, whereas the default for the group is Modify, Delete etc. This means they can continue to work in the "new year folders", but historic years is List/read only.
I've got to the point the program does everything I want, i.e. stops folder creation7deletion, file & folder name changes, copying for the historic years, but does not prevent deletion of files in the folder. Effectively I set Deny access on the
historic folders.
Testing using the Windows GUI would appear to resolve the problem is I change the Deny Special Permission (for the group) from "This folder only" to "This folder & files".
Question then is how to I set this in VB, the default appearing to be "This folder only"
Here's extract of my code
Thanks
IfvarDirectoryName.IndexOf("\"&
Date.Now.Year) = -1
Then
            FileAcl3.AddAccessRule(
NewFileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0),
FileSystemRights.Modify,
AccessControlType.Deny))
            FileAcl3.AddAccessRule(
NewFileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0),
FileSystemRights.DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles,
AccessControlType.Deny))
            FileAcl3.RemoveAccessRule(
NewFileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0),
FileSystemRights.ReadAndExecute,
AccessControlType.Deny))
            FileAcl3.RemoveAccessRule(
NewFileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0),
FileSystemRights.ListDirectory,
AccessControlType.Deny))
Dim FileInfo3 As IO.FileInfo = New IO.FileInfo(varDirectoryName)
Dim FileAcl3 As New FileSecurity
If varDirectoryName.IndexOf("\" & Date.Now.Year) = -1 Then
FileAcl3.AddAccessRule(New FileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0), FileSystemRights.Modify, AccessControlType.Deny))
FileAcl3.AddAccessRule(New FileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0), FileSystemRights.DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles, AccessControlType.Deny))
FileAcl3.RemoveAccessRule(New FileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0), FileSystemRights.ReadAndExecute, AccessControlType.Deny))
FileAcl3.RemoveAccessRule(New FileSystemAccessRule(GroupAdmin(0), FileSystemRights.ListDirectory, AccessControlType.Deny))
FileInfo3.SetAccessControl(FileAcl3)
End If

Ho Rohn
Your right, when I added the flags I got the following error at execution
{"No flags can be set. Parameter name: inheritanceFlags"}
I've developed a work around, which gives me exactly - subject to further testing - what I want. I simply mark each file in the relevant folders with a Deny Delete option.
I will however explore the DirectorySecurity class option, but initial review of the www seems a little shy on VB examples.
Thanks
Perry
You should be able to use FileSecurity and DirectorySecurity the same way (they have identical methods). Since this is a scripting forum, I'll provide a PowerShell example (which is fairly close to C# and VB; they all use the exact same classes):
$varDirectoryName = "c:\folder"
$GroupAdmin = "Admin Group"
$FileInfo3 = New-Object System.IO.DirectoryInfo $varDirectoryName
$FileAcl3 = $FileInfo3.GetAccessControl()
$FileAcl3.AddAccessRule((New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule (
$GroupAdmin,
[System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights]::Modify,
([System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]::ContainerInherit -bor [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]::ObjectInherit),
[System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]::None,
[System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]::Allow
$FileInfo3.SetAccessControl($FileAcl3)
I could have taken a lot of shortcuts when using the enumerations, but I think keeping it verbose helps show how similar the code can be.
Does that make sense?

Radio Group read-only bug?

I appologize if this has already been posted - I couldn't find it in a search.
It seems that when a radio group is set to read-only, the input elements have an empty name attribute. This causes all but the last radio group to have no checked value.
Is this a known bug? or do I have something set up wrong? If it is a bug, is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Eric

Eric - Didn't know about this. Thanks. Maybe don't use the read-only option and achieve a similar effect with your own attribues on the html.

Default Setting for a Radio Group not activated when Read-Only

I have an Item on a page that is a Yes/No radio group. It is conditional read-only and has a conditional default value. Both the read-only section and the default section use PL/SQL blocks to determine there use. When the read-only condition is true the radio group is grayed out but neither the Yes or No button is checked. It then returns a null value when the page is submitted.

See
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:105
Default is Yes (http://tinypic.com/i39qh4.jpg)
Readonly is true (http://tinypic.com/i39s7p.jpg)
Rendering works fine.
But when the page is submitted, the Yes value doesnt get into session state.
This is because the read-only is implemented by setting disabled=disabled on the radio element.
As per relevant standards (http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/input.html), disabled form elements are not submitted during a POST operation.
But if it is a readonly item with a default value, you already know the value (you put it there), so why do you need it in session state, just use the default value (hardcoded)
Thanks.

Make single option as read only in Radio group

Just thinking aloud (can't test it right now myself): I'm not sure whether you can disable (or set read only) a radio button. However, if you don't need one of these options, perhaps you should modify List of Values query which returns these options. Furthermore, it means that list shouldn't be static but dynamic (SELECT statement).
So how do we restrict SELECT's result set? By using a WHERE clause.
Now, you know the conditions that have to be met in order to (or not to) display certain options. Suppose that there's a page item (named P1_CONDITION) which - if set to 4 (as "option*4*) - won't allow option4 to be displayed.
List of values' query might look like
{code}select option_name, option_id
from options
where option_id <> nvl(:P1_CONDITION, -1) --> -1 is a non-existent option
{code}
