Setting items and branching to a different app via a report column link

Hi,
I'm figuring out how to branch to another application by using a URL redirect and contructing the target URL with items and item values to pass to the target app. So far, so good. But I'm now trying to branch to another app via a column link from a report form (I had previously branched to a page within the same app, but that page should really be another app, callable from several sources). Before, I had also set several items (in the calling app). Now, when I choose to re-direct to a URL, rather than a page in the current application, the item and value setting boxes get disabled. Is there a way to also set current page items (that are not being passed to the target app) at the time the link is redirected?
Frank

Frank,
It's easy. Just type in the relative f?p URL along with the item names/item values, e.g., to redirect to app 200 page 20 from your app's page 1 passing P1_ITEMA and P1_ITEMB into similarly named items on page 20 type in:
f?p=200:20:&APP_SESSION.::NO::P20_ITEMA,P20_ITEMB:&P1_ITEMA,&P1_ITEMB.
Note that redirecting to another application may require the user to authenticate to that application. If that is your intent there is no need to include &APP_SESSION. in the link.

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
Other than that, syncing is by device.
Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
Connect second device, repeat.
Connect third device, repeat.

Display the second report as modalform and filter with primary key value of first report when you click on first report column link

Hi All,
I have two reports.
1. order report
2. order detail report
when you click on the order report column it display the order detail report as a modal form.
i was done below steps.
1. In page header i was written the below code
<link rel="stylesheet" href = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/
redmond/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js"> </script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( function() {
$('#ModalForm1').dialog(
autoOpen : false ,
width :470,
height: 500,
resize :false,
function openForm1()
$('#ModalForm1').dialog('open');
function closeForm()
$('#ModalForm1 input[type="text"]').val('');
$('#ModalForm1').dialog('close');
</script>
2. order report.
3. order detail report
select * from order_details where order_id = p_order_id;
region header
<div id="ModalForm1" title="Ordered Items" style="display:none">
<p class="msg"></p>
footer
</div>
4. created the hidden item in order detail report.
5. in order report column attributes i was given link like below.
javascript:$s('p_order_id','#order_id#');openForm1();
when i click on the order report column link it passing the row primary key value to hiddent and open the report as modal form. however it is not filter the report with hidden item. it showing the no data found.
problem is hidden item value is not submitting. once we submit that value it showing the 2nd report with filter data.
can any help me to achieve above requirement.

Regards,
Vijay.

Vijay,
Issue 1: Your usage of $s() JavaScript API seems to be wrong. For the first parameter, you need to use the name of the hidden page item and not p_order_id.
javascript:$s('P1_ORDER_ID','#ORDER_ID#');openForm1();
Issue 2: Seems like you are not setting the hidden page item's value in session state. Assuming your hidden page item is called P1_ORDER_ID, Under "Region Definition" tab of your "Order Detail Report" under "Source" tab, for page items to submit, enter the name of the hidden page item P1_ORDER_ID.
Thanks!

Limit on setting items when branching?

I am trying to carry values over to the next page when branching by using the 'set these items' and 'with these values' fields in the Branch Action section. Once I insert over 15 items, I get the following error:
ora-06502: pl/sql: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
Is there a limit on the number of values that can be carried over through the branch?

Greetings colleagues!
My message is not an answer to the above-referenced topic/subject. I want to bring in some more substance and see how our friends at Oracle Support--or other colleagues, can address them.
But first let me thank Oracle support for the answer to my recent posting! Regrettably, that didn't much address my question fully. Maybe, I wasn't just more clear.
I agree--please bear with me-with you that there might be limitations and there. Not only on this item, but to many other. These are all inherent to a new technology. I will try T list some, and suggest improvement whenever possible. Let's call these "improvement opportunities" instead of limitations/bugs.
(1). My previous question. We are dealing with a relational database, and our requirements, I dare suspect, might be more than O HTML DB CAN, actually deliver? Suppose, again, I have 4 tables. PRODUCTS, VENDORS, PRESENTATIONS, PRESENTERS. Why these last 2 tables? Before any technology enters our corporate IS environment, it must be approved. It goes through a strict technology acquisition process. Vendors that are selected, say for the bid, must do presentations. At the end, the Technology Committee will make a decision (after doing a Technical Proof of Concept (TPOC).
Now, we want to be able to list presenters and presentations for each product (whenever available). There are more than 1 presentation for a given product and there also situations where you have more than 1 presenters for a presentation.
Can you generate this using a tabular form? I double. I tried, using the Wizard. You can only select 1 table when building this tabular form. However, you can get the SQL script using the SQL Command processor.
(2). The dilemma: We want reports for presenters and presentations o be displayed on separate pages. Here is where it gets more tricky, maybe because I just stated with O HTML DB 2 months ago.
My SUGGESTION to Oracle Developers: Can you make it possible to decide, when creating a region, to display it on a different page other than the one on which you generate the, say the report script? I think that depending on redirection creates confusion, and makes the tool less user-friendly. When you allow a developer to decide, at time of region creation to display the report on this page, or another page, you really create user-friendliness and increase application maintainability.
(3). Buttons: Why has Oracle re-invented the wheel here? Is it possible, in the next release, to make it possible to have graphic insertion icons within a region (just like most tools we are used to do? This would save us a significant amount of time. Having to upload graphics 1 at a time, then include these in the app is time consuming (especially if one has many graphics).
(4). How Tos: I do sincerely commend you guys on a fantastic job. However, we all (developers and Oracle Support team/Developers) must admit that the tool is still immature and there are many improvement opportunities. May I ask why is it that I crete a region now, code an SQL script. Everything works now. I backup the application. The next day, however, when I access the same app, what worked yesterday fails to work now! This has happened many times and it is pretty frustrating.
The best books are those that provide good examples, but also show the result of each code (for instance). Many people learn faster when they look at a code, then see the result. Reading text like a history book, in the development context is taste-assassination.
Do other experience this instability? If so, could you please share with me what you do? I suspect an application level "bug.
Again, I know the product is new and really commend Oracle's team for a fantastic job.
Tanks so very much in anticipation!

How to set SMB and FTP sharing for different users?

In Tiger FTP and SMB sharing was different options with their own settings each other. In Leopard there if i enable user for sharing, it enables for all protocols together.
Another problem. In file sharing i can add shared folder, but what's sens of it, if the whole filesystem is shared (at least FTP and AFP, not SMB, thanks god) and there's no way to remove this share. Just shortcut? How can i create ftp sharing, allowing user to see only his folder, not the whole filesystem?
Any advices are pleased, except to get Leopard Server Thank you.

OS X Client FTP implementation is not comprehensive at all. Apple does not make FTP serving a priority for OS X (on the general principle that it is not really necessary for most consumers). Thus, by default you can't enable/disable FTP for individual users. Nor can you create FTP only users.
However, a useful product called [Pure-FTPd|http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd], provides the missing functionality for free to all UNIX based systems. Even better, [PureFTPd Manager|http://jeanmatthieu.free.fr/pureftpd> provides a GUI on OS X for managing it.
This product is probably overkill for a single-user situation - but it is a great example of leveraging the UNIX platform of OS X to significantly enhance file sharing capabilities to server level.
Cheers,
Rodney

How to set an application item when report column link is clicked?

I am trying to set the short name of a bread crumb entry when I drill into a detail from an interactive report page.
The master report has a column link with target = detail - "page in this application"
I can pass page items through the URL and they are set on the target page.
How can I set an application item before the target page is called?
Is there a way to set a process before the link is followed?

Kenneth,
I'm not totally sure that I understood the question but, it soounds like you want to set the value of some page items on the page that is opened when you click a link on a column in the master window. Is this right?
If so, you can achieve what you want by creating hidden page item(s) on the target page. In the master page, on which every column provides the link, go into Report Attributes, click on the link column and scroll down to the section labeled "Column Link" Within this section, set the link text to the current column value, e.g. #MASTER_REPORT_COLUMN_NAME_HERE#. Set the target to "Page in this Application" and pick the page number for the target window.
Underneath this you will see a section to set set the value for page items. If you click the flashlight, you can search for the hidden page item that you created above. Use the same value to set it as you did the link text, i.e. #MASTER_REPORT_COLUMN_NAME_HERE#. Do this and let APEX take care of passing the values on the URL.
On the child page, just set whatever control you want to dynamically pick up the value from the hidden field. For example, if you hidden field where named P4_CLEARER_NAME. You could set the title attribute to "Contact Information for &P4_CLEARER_NAME."
You need the preceeding "&" and terminating "." around the name of you hidden page item to do this.

Buttons among region items and branching

I've got a page with many buttons that are supposed to simply branch to their respective pages. I used buttons among region items so that I'd have control of placement withing each region. After clicking on the first button that branches to its correct page, the other buttons branch to that page as well even though I have branches set for each button.
What am I missing?
Thank you!

Also, arranging them all on the page was a headache. I'm almost there but have had to create empty regions just to space things out because I don't understand how to space buttons out. I can with items, but buttons are a new one. I'm leaving at noon today to visit my sister and brother in law in your favorite city (no not really - not San Diego...LA) so I want to wrap this project up as much as I can before I leave.
The other project is live!

Implementing menu items and saving state in my app

Hello
I'm a new user to the forums, but have a little bit of java programming experience.
currently i'm writing some business applications, one of which is a payroll system. The target audience is end-user bookkeepers so i am planning for a GUI front end.
My first question relates to how programs save their state. for example, each month the bookkeeper will launch the program and add the next months payments, or he/she will open the program to fix a mistake. In general how do programs like word, excel (or anything) save and load files to work with? I was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then the user could save to it, which would add the new work.
Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there some premade classes i can just use in my programs as well that would be me this funtionality? This kindof relates to my first question about saving and opening. Further, it seems there are two GUI libraries to consider - either SWT or Swring. Eclipse plugins are written in SWT (from what i have heard). Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?
I think that's it for now. If anybody can provide me with advice i woudl be most grateful, as i'm at a bit of a standstill with my development.
thanks.

My first question relates to how programs save their state. for example, each month the bookkeeper

was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then
the user could save to it, which would add the new work. It sounds more like you are talking about saving the data instead of state--save in a database for mass and long term storage. Simple state info can be easily save in a database also or in a bean or text file.
Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at
the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there

Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?Maybe this is not what you are asking, but menu systems are implemented with Menu, MenuBar, MenuItem, etc objects in Java. The specifics of what happens when the individual menu items are selected are left up to the programmer.
If you are looking for prebuilt menubars with code attached to perform common functions, then I do not know of any included in Java.

"Couldn't start this app" error when trying to open Action Items and any other built-in apps

Hi all,
When I try to open the Action Items app within an email in OWA, I get the error seen in the screenshot. In Outlook 2013, the frame comes up with a 404 error.
Third party apps load fine.
This is a new install of Exchange 2013 Enterprise with CU2. Everything else seems to be working fine. I have tried rebooting the server and disabling and re-enabling the apps with no luck. Can't seem to find anything in the Event Log about it.
Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it?
"Something went wrong and we couldn't start this app"

Hi,
Could you please check the IIS log and see what’s the error code?
Try using the administrator account to log in the Outlook and see if he can see the apps successfully.
Thanks,
Simon

Setting Fonts and In Conversation Fonts different - why?

Hi there,
I am wondering why, when I am in a conversation, I am able to choose a font (like Kalinga, for example) that when I try and change it in my Lync settings as a default - does not exist as a choice.
I don't understand how Kalinga (and other fonts) are not available from the Options menu in Lync, but can be selected from the font options when I'm actually in a conversation with someone. Any idea why this is the case? Can you import other fonts into Lync?
Thanks!

I tested with Lync 2010, I have the same behavior.
With Lync 2013, I can choose the font Kalinga and other fonts in Lync setting.

How to set item values without using fields in branch's ACTION block?

Okay, I will try to say this in a easy way so it is not weird.
I have created a button, SAVE, that has a Branch of branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page. This is my code for the branch:
if :P2008_NAP_SUPPORTING_MATERIALS = 'Yes' then
return '2092';
else
return '2040';
end if;
The code for this type of branch is stored in the ACTION block of the Branch page. The ACTION block for a Branch of branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page is different than the ACTION block for a Branch of branch type: Branch To Page Or URL.
I need to set some item values with some specific values, which I can do with a branch type: Branch To Page Or URL. This is not possible with the branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page. The ACTION block is totally different.
How can I set some values on say Page 2040 from Page 2008 without using fields in the branch's ACTION block?
Thank you in advance,
Maggie

Andy and Scott,
I love seeing different perspectives in solving problems, it opens my eyes to new ways of looking at/using the tools (reserved words and 'Function returning a Page', etc.).
One of my pet peeves has been that on branches I was limited to only 10 variables to be passed (I know, who would want more - but there was an instance where I had to pass more), and an even more frustrating time when using report Column Linking, which limits me to 3 variables.
At least with the Branch linking I can use your suggestion Andy and add the variable setting statements into the function. I am assuming of course (and I should be able to) that I will be able to set more that 10 variables in a IF condition prior to the RETURN statement. This method will be much more understandable, for me, when looking through the branch at a later time to see what is happening, than an URL link where all the variable are strung out 'in a line' so to speak.
I will still need to use URL Target branching on Links contained within a Column Attribute when I need to pass more than 3 variables, of which I have several places where I do this.

How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

Hi,
how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
example:
when I create a .txt files:
Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
Thanks in advance!

Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it. For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders.
If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device.
One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder. From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

External screen dims when opening different apps?

Hi All ----
Seems my external screen dims and rectifies when opening different apps - like some kind of brightness adjustment going on... it doesnt happen on the MBP, just on the external screen --- i've checked all possible settings on Ext. Displ. / re-booted / repaired perms... cant quite figure it out.
I dont think this is energy-saver related.
Many thnx for any help in adv. ---
cheers,
J.

The problem with that is, it's hard to put it back together without assuring that you're not pinching the cable again.
Instructions can be found here.
As he says, the cable can be found at Small Dog Electronics:
http://www.smalldog.com/product/43417
If you need replacement feet, they can be found at MicroDoc.
The specific link you need on PowerBook Tech's website can be found here.
If it looks like too much for you to handle, you may want to check out DT & T Computer Services. Perhaps in a metropolitan area like Austin you can check the Yellow Pages and find a technician willing to match the price.
At one point, DominionTech in Colchester, Vermont was offering the repair for $79.90, but I'm not sure if that price is still available.
Good luck.
