Self Service Personalization Making a Flex Required

I have added a flex field into my self service pages for iProcurement/Requisitions and it is working fine. The user base would like the field to be required but we cannot require it at the DFF definition because that would break PO's for us. Is there a way to make this field (a simple poplist of 4 values) to be required in Self Service pages without checking it as required in the FF definition? I see other field types like a Messgae Choice and the like have a "required" attribute, but the Flex does not.
Any thoughts?

I haven't been able to get this to work. I'm trying to change the Returns form in Receiving to force the user to enter a reason code when they do a return. When does the WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD event occur? Is it when you press SAVE? I've set it up to give the user an error message when the reason_code field is null, but it's not working. It allows me to save with a null reason_code.
Thanks for your help.

Reg Self Service Personalization for Termination transaction

Hi All,
I am new to self service personalization. User wants to personalize the self servie pages.
User Requirement: our client has diffetent self service transactions like
Payroll Name and Subgroup Change
Termination
Location Only Changes
People Group Only Changes etc.
Whenever user is selecting Termination as transaction, and continued to the next step, calendar shows up to select the date for termination. Here I need to personalize such that user should select last day of the employee as termination date rather than following day.
Eg: Employee last date is 01-oct-2009, prersently some users are taking 02-oct-2009 as termination date assuming that 01-oct-2009 is the last working day. For payroll process, 01-oct-2009 needs to be last day of the employee and he needs to terminate same date for processing.
Please advise me.

You can't do this through personalization. You need to extend the page controller to restrict it.
Thanks

Does self service personalization safe from the patch?

We're testing Self Registration in iReceivables. Our Finance wants LOV on the job title field. I believe this can be done in personalization. My question is does personalization safe from the patches? I know form personalization is safe but I'm not sure about self service personalization.

OAF Personalization-Making a field Required.

I have a custom OAF page which has a Message text input field and is currently is a required field, Using personalization i wanted to make this a optional filed. But when i select that personalization properties, i dont see the option "required" and its values.
Layout structure: Message Component Layout->Message Layout->Default single column-> Message Text Input field.
Thanks

Read only property is not controlled through personalization.What you need to do is extend the controller of the page and in the processRequest of the page use following code.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext,webBean);
OAMessageTextInputBean mtb = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Bean ID");
mtb.setRequired("no");
}Thanks

Adding comment in the OTL Timecard ( in both timekeeper entry & Self-Service)

Hi all,
I need to add a new comment field in the timecard (both the timekeeper entry page & the Timecard Self-Service page).
I am going through the white paper "Configuring The Oracle Time and Labor Timecard User Interface" currently.
what i understand is modifying the LDT file will allow me to add the desired comment in the TimeCard Self Service page, while I need it to be exist in the Timekeeper Entry page also.
i should be able to enter the employee timecard with my comment in the new comment field using the timekeeper entry page and submit it for approval. The approver should be able to review and see my comment in the employee timecard self service page.
what are the required steps to have the new comment field exist in both layouts?
also, is it possible to add the comment not as a new column, can we add the field just beside the seeded comment in the Timekeeper Entry down beside the Select All/Deselect All button?
Note: I am using the Payroll TimeCard Layout.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Gaurav,
Sure.
We would like to take the employee time cards being entered into the (OTL Self Service Time Entry) and once approved, have them automatically populate the OTL Timekeeper by employee. These employees are already defined in various Timekeeper groups. Once the supervisor opens up that group in Timekeeper they will be able to export those employee time records to an excel spreadsheet for further data manipulation. That's our end goal.
The question I have is, how does the upload from (OTL Self Service Time Entry to OTL Timekeeper) happen?
Does it happen once the employee time card has been approved?
or
Do you have to launch some type of concurrent job, etc?
I just can't find that process answer and what if anything that needs to be done.
Again, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

EIT Multiple Rows in Self Service using Personalization

The EIT is set up in core HRMS as multiple rows descriptive flexfield having segments each with value set and default values.
Multiple rows meaning, user can enter multiple records as extra information as compared to DFF which only allow one record..
The requirement is to attach this EIT in iRecruitment (self service, HTML) using personalization.
My Question ?
1. Can I add this EIT as flex item ?
2. do I have to create EO, VO and AM for this EIT table or this is provided by oracle when EIT is created ?
3. is the EIT displayed as table in page with add, update delete button.
4. is there any document which describes steps to add EIT with multiple rows to self service apps.
Help Appreciated
Thanks

I am still facing issue in displaying the restricted record in self service.
Setup tried:
1. My original value set has the total set of values (no validation).
2. My new value set is a wrapper over the original and uses a Table validation with a WHERE condition like:
WHERE flex_value_set_id = <original value set id>
AND
(FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_ID') = <MSS resp id> and flex_value
<> "<restricted values>")
or
(FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_ID')= <PUI> and 1=1)
Result:
SS lov shows only filtered values, I cannot select it in new record.
But I get error when the already created record gets displayed as it seems to validate against new value set.
error:
ID <restricted value> for the flexfield segment SEGMENT1 does not exist in the value set NEW VALUE SET.
Is there any possibility to add a table filter in MSS to restrict the record that is displayed in the EIT table in SS. I tried a lot but the filter do not bring the table columns for adding the filter clause.
Or is there a way that I can attach different value set for PUI through Forms Personalization?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Personalization: Title next to Oracle Logo in Self service page

Hello All,
We have a requirement to append instance name to the responsibility name coming up in self service page just next to Oracle Logo (which has been personalized and is coming from OA Media).
When I see the page source, the text next to Oracle Logo (responsibility name) is
<img src="/OA_MEDIA/mycompanyinfo.jpg" title="mycompanyinfo.jpg" border="0"></td><td nowrap><span title="XX Employee Self Service Salaried"><span class="x4b">XX Employee Self Service Salaried</span></span>
How can I personalize this item so that it includes instance name as well.
I am open to any other solution also like if the title is being set at run time to responsibility name and we have to set some profile option or whatever?
Help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You can use In-Context Branding for this.
You can refer Branding section in Developer guide. Personalization Consideration section will be useful for you if you are trying to achieve this using personalization.
Below is the Sample code from Developer guide to set Branding text dynamically.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAFormattedTextBean inContextTextBean =
(OAFormattedTextBean)createWebBean(pageContext, FORMATTED_TEXT_BEAN);
// Remember that you must pass a translated value obtained from message
198
dictionary,
// not a static String as shown here.
inContextTextBean.setText("Text for In-Context Branding");
// Ensures the correct CSS style is applied.
inContextTextBean.setStyleUsage(IN_CONTEXT_BRANDING_STYLE);
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
page.setInContextBranding(inContextTextBean);

Ram

How to create a Tip for a field in a Descriptive Flex Field in Self Service

How to create a Tip for a field in a Descriptive Flex Field in Self Service ?
Example :
For Address
Each Address Line should have one Tip.
What should I do ?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
It seems you have created Address Location DFF in self service in OA Framework.....
I have created a Address Location flex in OA Framework . It dipslays the segments properly but i dont want to display the segments if they dont have any value.
I only want to display segments with values . The segments with null values should not display at all...
i.e , if Address Line 2 value is null , it should not display Address Line 2..
If you have done this, pls let me know how to go abt it.
Thanks in Advance,

Is multi-factor auth required for self-service password reset and portal registration?

Hi, hoping someone can give some clarity on this. I'm dealing with strictly online accounts, no AD sync to local servers. I have enabled and configured self-service password reset in AzureAD. In that config I have required users to register
their alt contact info when logging into the portal. While testing this, I don't get prompted to register unless I've enabled multi-factor auth for the test user account. I need users to register in case they need to use SSPR, but I don't want
to force them into MFA. I've gone over the following article and it says nothing about requiring MFA for SSPR or forced portal registration to work.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn683881.aspx
I know there is a separate link for the registration portal that will guide users through the process, but that's a separate link. Maybe they'll set it up, maybe they won't. I'd like for the first sign-on to be a smooth process that gets them
set up for SSPR if needed. Can someone clarify and point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey acook15,
I work on the password reset engineering team. Right now, you are correct, you cannot enforce registration for password reset during first sign in. This is a feature that we are working on right now, which will be available very soon for sign
ins to Azure, your connected apps, and the access panel, and will come a bit later for Office 365 sign ins, as well.
In the interim, you can configure SSPR to require users to register when they access the access panel at myapps.microsoft.com by following the instructions here: http://aka.ms/customizesspr (search for "Require users to register when signing in to the
access panel?").
You can also read more about other ways to get SSPR data in the system for your users here: http://aka.ms/ssprbestpractices. Let me know if this helps, and if you need to get in contact with me, feel free to email me at [email protected]
Regards,
Adam.

Performance Optimization Self Service- SAP help requirement

Hi,
I want to know whether for SAP's help is required for performing the self service of Performance Optimization.
If we collect ST12 trace and use it to perform the self service then is the report which is generated from the self service sufficient to take further action or will I need some SAP expertise to implement / take corrective actions?
In short, whether I can do the Performance Optimization by myself or I need help from SAP?
Regards,
Vishal

hi,
1) Is this service available to all the customer? (by all the customers I mean "Max Attention", "Enterprise Support" etc)
i answer this above is it, from mz above reply, have you checked
enterprise support customers can get five EGI sessions as free per year. please check
http://service.sap.com/esacademy
- click browse egis
for your second question also I answered above
Does the report itself gives suggestions or we need to provide the report to SAP
here my reply above
because Guided procedure itself the proven methodlogy from SAP, the report provides the lots of suggestions against the SAP best practices.
you can use it yourself most of the time. if still you need expert guidance from SAP, book for EGI sessions. they called as expert guided implementations, remote support. duration might vary based on the session.
again, service report is the source, you have to review yourself, if you are in EGI, sap use that report for guiding. Please review
Thanks

Link is not working if Personalize Self-Service Defn set to No?

Hi All,
I add one link item on Customer page which is calling Product Summary page. It is working fine.
Issue - If Personalize Self-Service Defn property is YES then link is working, if NO then link is not working.
Note - I made one region for link and add it through personalization.
Thanks,
Ajay

Oajay ,
Look:
1)Check if this link is disabled in ur personilization.
2)Also run
exec jdr_utils.listCustomizations(' /oracle/apps/fnd/framework/toolbox/labsolutions/webui/HelloWorldPG');
to see that ur personilizations are there in DB.
