Service architecture vs regional templates

I would really appreciate any input on the following scenario:
You are planning to implement a mySAP component, let's say Finance, to two different regions where different regulations and legislations apply. In my mind, this could be done in two ways; with or without ESA.
-Without ESA you would create one overarching template with two regional templates.
-With ESA you would create generic services for the common features, and customized services where regional policies influence.
Is this a valid perception?
If so, what are the pros/cons?
Thanks in advance!
BRs/Anne

Hi,
Are you plainnig to use XI for ESA or directly you will expose the Business funcationality as service.
Please let me know.

IF statement for navigation in a Region Template

I have a region template where I display links to nodes in the current level.
Example:
level 0 nodes: About Us, Employees, Contact Us, Investors
level 1 nodes of About Us: Fun Stuff, Photos, History
level 2 nodes of History: 1910, 1920,1930
So if I was in the section/level About Us>History my region template would display links to 1910,1920,1930. I know there is a fragment that does this for me but what I need is a little more custom.
What I want to do is is write an if statement in the region template that says something like:
If (currentlevel has children)
display childrenlevelNodes
else
display parentlevelNodes
endif
Any ideas? I am a beginner when it comes to Idoc.

Actually I got it working. Someone before me was using some code but it wasn't working exactly how I wanted. So I incorporated their code back in after your help with the childNodeId thing and now it works!!

Hide / Show region template - how to make it stay visible after NEXT& PREV?

Hello,
I am using the Hide / Show region template (by the way great idea to create this template ;)
By default the region is hidden. If i want to see the region content (it is a report) I click on that icon and it becomes visible. For my report I use the pagination "ROW Ranges X to Y of Z (with pagination)".
The issue is that if I click NEXT of Previous, the region is closing (hidding).. and in order to see the next / previous page of my report I have to re-open it..
Is there any known workaround for this?
Thank you in advance
Anca

I would start at Re: Toggle all hide show regions on a page open/closed
It references the using javascript to manipulate your hide/show regions. It should get you started in the right direction. It is about the most straight-forward example I have seen for what you are trying to do<br><br>
You could trigger the javascript after your page is rendered by calling it from the page footer and reference the values of page items to determine if you are supposed to hide the region(s).<br>
Create a page item called P88_HIDESHOW_REGION1 and set it's value to Y or N depending on whether the #REQUEST# has a string in it that is part of report pagination. If you hover over a "next page" button in a report, check out the resulting URL that pops up in your browser.....it looks like ..../f?p=900:210:8352027355600111016:pg_R_241403738845262873:NO&pg_min_row=31&pg_max_rows=30&pg_rows_fetched=30
<br>
You could do an instr(:REQUEST,'pg_R_') > 0 then set P88_HIDESHOW_REGION1 = 'Y' else P88_HIDESHOW_REGION1 = 'N'. Your javascript called at the footer of the page could set the display of the region to on or off depending on the result of P88_HIDESHOW_REGION1

Wee inconsistency in region template "Form Table Attributes"

In the region template definition there is a field for specifying form table attributes. If I specify table attribute(s) they work as expected. If I then add an item type of "Stop and start table" to the region, the custom attributes are not used in the subsequent tables.
It's a minor thing... perhaps this can be fixed (or has been fixed) in 3.0?

Atul:
I dont know what the 'Alternate Source' is
In the Source section set
Source value or expression to be the name of the database column that has the URL (company_url)
Post calculation Computation to be '<a h ref="' || :pxx_company_url || '">' || :pxx_company_url || '</a>'; where pxx_company_url is the page-item name.
I have specified 'h ref' instead of 'href' so that the forum software doesnt mess up the post.

Access CDF MetaData from Region Template

How can I access the MetaData of a CDF from the Region Template?
I have read that I can use DOC_INFO, but this does not seem to work. I tried:
DOC_INFO.dDocAccount and got nothing.
I tried:
executeService("DOC_INFO")
DOC_INFO.dDocAccount
Thank you in advance for any help.

If you're looking for the CDF that's assigned to the region template, use:

How to make a call to service from site studio templates?

Hi,
May be this is very basic but I am not able to figure out how to make a call to a service from site studio templates (hcsp). I have seen one example of service call in the dynamic list fragment. It makes a call to SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS service using executeService() method. But it doesn't take any parameters and also not very how returned results are captured.
I want to execute WCM_PLACEHOLDER service. It takes 2 main parameters dataFileDocName and templateDocName. The returned result is typically a html response.
The service typically is executed using http request and the url would be something like this
http://hd-pratapm/ucm/idcplg?IdcService=WCM_PLACEHOLDER&dataFileDocName=VIRTUSAINC&templateDocName=DETAILS_REGION_TEMPLATE
I think SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS service works in the similar fashion. I want to execute WCM_PLACEHOLDER service too using executeService() method. How to work with this? How can we pass parameters and capture returned results?
Regards,
Pratap

Hey Pratap,
If you are on a standard Site Studio template (page or subtemplate) you should be able to call the wcmPlaceholder idoc function directly. In fact calling the idoc function provides a lot more functionality then the service call (they locked down a few things in the service call since it is designed to be called from an external application).
The idoc call would look something like:  (taken from page 208 in this doc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/SiteStudio/10gr4/Pdf/Site_Studio_10gR4_Designer_Guide.pdf)
As a general note when you are in idoc script and want to execute a service you call <$executeService()$> as you saw in the dynamic list. The parameters that the service runs on are in the data binder of the current request. To set parameters for an execute service you simply set idoc variables on the page before it. Example:


As for the response when you execute an idoc function, like wcmPlaceholder, that returns a String the response is immediately output to the page in the location you called the function. This would be similar in concept to a jsp scriptlet that outputs a string <%=myResponseString%>

Modify a report region template

Hi
I am new on Apex, so my question could seem elementary! :-(
I would like to create a mutiple report on one region, as explained and described on this forum in many places, but I am stuck at the begining!!
- How can I copy a report region template?
and
- How can I copy a page template?
Many thanks for your lights
Regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,
In your application, go to Shared Components, Templates. Then click the Create button and select the template type. On the next prompt, ensure that you select the "As a Copy of an Existing Template" option, then click Next until you get to a list of current templates. Change the name of the template you want to copy and change the Copy? drop-down from No to Yes and click the Copy xxxx Templates button. You will then be returned to the templates list - click on your new template to edit it.

4.2 Early Adapter 2 Numeric Region Template Name

I think it is a stupid question. But as I am new to this I should clear my doubt.
In 4.2 early adapter 2 there is a packaged application called Incident Tracking. In this application page number 50 is having a region called Tickets. It has a template which is numeric.
I could not find the template under the application theme. Even if I try to create a page with the same page template but when I try to create a region in the region template LOV the numeric template is not displayed.
Any idea??????

MehabubYou are seeing the numeric value because the select list is set to display extra values > Yes and the selected value does not exist in the lov.
It could be a bug! in that app.
Once you are logged in to your app go to > SQL Commands > try the below sql
select *
from apex_application_templates
where application_id =11366
and template_type='Region'
and template_id =195391130200971512 -- numeric value appearing in the template name lovIt will return no data found because the template does not exist in your app (I mean it is missing in the application install script)

'Scrollable Content Region' - Region Template - Anybody used successfully?

I have just implemented a "Data Load" function which is the OOTB page type in apex 4.2 which allows the end user to go through a wizard and import csv data into a table.
When the user is viewing the data to be imported - they have to scroll across the length of the screen (depending on how many columns you are loading).
I noticed there is a Region template called "Scrollable Content Region". I tried applying this template to my region, and when this didn't work, to a container region.
The scrollbars appear (horizontally and vertically) but they are greyed out as the region is still at max width and you have to use the browser to scroll instead.
I think this looks untidy as the header colour-styling ends, as well as other regions being stretched.
Has anyone used this successfully before?
Amanda.

Hi Amanda,
What I've done with this region is edit the template and change the style for the div.uRegionContent. You'll see that it says "overflow: scroll", I change it to "overflow: auto", this way the scroll bars will only show when they are needed.
The other useful thing is to remove the hardcoded height and define it on a per region basis.
So, if my region ID (STATIC_REGION_ID) is empRegion then the height can be defined as:
#empRegion > .uRegionContent {height: 600px;}
Of course you could do this without modifying the region by adding !important.
#empRegion > .uRegionContent {height: 600px!important; overflow: auto!important;}
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Make a new region template

Hi all,
I am using Two Level Tabs Page Template in my application, and have used all the region templates (from 01 to 08) in my page. I still need a space for 1 more region template. Can i make a new region template of my own??If so how can it be done?
With Regards,
Neha Sharma

Region #'s 1 thru 8 are not really the equivalent of region templates. Those are placeholders for different display areas on the various pages.
Each one displays in a specific area of the page depending on the theme and page template that you're using. These region numbers are used for things like sidebars, tabs, main report or form regions, etc...
You are also able to include many report or form regions (or other regions) in a single display region.
In my 5 or so years of using Apex I have never had the need to try to create a new display region. And I don't think there's a way you can actually do it.
Why don't you let us know what you want to accomplish and you're sure to get some suggestions.

Region Template in ContentPresenter - JDeveloper

Hello together,
is it possible to use a SiteStudio Region Template in the Content Presenter, when I add the Content Presenter in JDeveloper to a jspx page.
Here is a screen shot from the properties:
http://s14.directupload.net/images/140122/fxmb3mog.jpg
The senario:
I use a query to select a Contributor Data File from the Content Server and now I want to select a suitable template from the Content Server as well.
What do I have to do? Is this senario actually possible?
Thanks for your answers.
Lukas

Hi.
In official documentation Creating Content Presenter Display Templates - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.8.0) you'll find following:
Oracle recommends that you use Content Presenter ADF templates to integrate Site Studio and WebCenter Portal instead of Site Studio region templates. The recommended flow is:
Develop region definitions in Site Studio
Develop ADF templates referencing region definitions using JDeveloper
Publish the templates and import them into Portal Server
Use Content Presenter to render the content and to enable users to contribute content
Why recommends this way?.
Performance and caching.
Site Studio will be deprecated in the future.
Integrates perfectly with ADF / Portal in terms of Framework, access and allows you to pass parameters / variables.
When to use Region Template?.
When you have do internal or use complex functions of UCM.
As backward compatibility with old Region Templates built in Site Studio.
I hope it helps.
Regards.
