Show_document without URL

hello guys,
I'm using forms 6i, and i copy certain files into a server and then store the path in my database , now this file can be of different types (doc,pdf,jpg,..etc) the question is how to open this file from client form 6i, as i'm not using application server and hence i dont have URL

this works for me, you can suppress the command prompt using NO_SCREEN option.
HOST('c:\text_file.txt',NO_SCREEN);
The path can be shared path like \\servername\foldername
Note :- some file extensions are already mapped by default , so the OS knows with which application the file should be opened,. incase of special file extensions, pls give the path of the executable and then the file name.
'notepad c:\text_file.txt' should be the first parameter.

Destype=Printer; without url being redirected or popup window

In our old client/server enviroment, our users printed some reports directly to the printer. In the Oracle 9I web server, we user web.show_document to run a report with '_blank' so that the form is not changed to the report URL. Destype=Printer is in the URL and printers are setup on our AIX Unix server. It works but our users do not want to see any popup window and want to stay in a form. A message comes up saying "Report ran successfully". The users don't want this message or the window that it is in caused by web.show_document. They just want to print without seeing anything on the screen. Is this possible?

Hi,
Please try with following options
1. Enter DESNAME with in quotes as '\\rgasion\F5-copyroom east -1' and print the Report
(or)
2. Go To Windows Printer Setup, Change printer name to F5-copyroom_east_-1(Remove space with underscore), then try to print
or
3. If you printer is Shared Network printer, Open Printer Property dialog and go to Sharing page, there set share name as F5-copyroom_east_-1, then try to print
Thanks

Any solution for swf file without url link embedded?

As a long shot just thought I would ask.
Received a swf file which needs to be linked to a url address BUT the company that produced it has not embedded the link in the .fla file!!!!!
In the past I seem to remember there is not a way to link the swf via html or maybe so but only via javascript or some complex solution. Is this still the case or has someone found an elegant solution to the issue in recent times?
Thanks

Hi Os -
Can you get the fla file?
Hi Ken,
Unfortunately not. If I could I don't think it would be much help as I'm out of touch with Flash. I used to dabble around in Flash a bit years ago but didn't persist as I thought it required a bit more time to really get to know than I could give it.
I know it's a relatively simple procedure to add a getURL frame to the .fla file as I done it myself in the past. Not sure why whoever did it hasn't included the link as it's an advert to attract people to a certain url.
I guess they will just have to sort it themsleves.
Thanks for replying. Just though things move quickly and some genius might have discovered a way to add a link without having to resort to the .fla file.

How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?

Dear Volunteers,
I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display.
b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload.
c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
Rajiv

You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.

How do I insert an image with my signature but without URL?

Although there are several Firefox users in my unit with the same version of Zimbra, some have an "insert image" but mine and some others have only "insert image URL" in the signature area. the people with the insert image icon have no problems adding a company logo but I cannot.
Thanks for any help.

Is that Comcast web-mail with Zimbra?
If so, are you using HTML format or Text format when composing emails?
''Look in Email Preferences to see that setting under Composing to see.''

[SOLVED] Package without URL

Hello everyone!
I've made a very small package. It's made up of only two files (two small shell scripts), so I added them along with the PKGBUILD in the source tarball. I don't have a server to host the files, nor would I like to set up one (or register somewhere) to just store three kilobytes. So, my PKGBUILD has no url variable.
I've looked in the official guidelines, at the wiki, and it just says you have to put an URL. What should I do, then?
Thanks in advance. Best regards,
Kalrish

I'm with Scimmia, but have additional reasons: size isn't the only relevant factor. When packages do contain some form of code in the aur tarball (patches, install scripts, etc) it is (or should be!) only because the upstream source of the original source code (and/or installation procedure) is incompatible with arch linux. So this might include a patch to put things in the right directory, or a script to go in /usr/bin/ to launch a binary put in an odd location.
But in this case you are the upstream source. They're small ... so? They're yours. You don't need to fix someone else's work and include the fix in the tarball ... it's your work.
Also, github is handy for many other purposes. And I can assure you they do not 'spam' you with any sort of adds, or any nonsense. They also have *phenomenal* service reps. I emailed a question one day and within hours I had a very courteous, clear, and complete answer ... and I'm not subscribing, just using their free service. I avoid signing up for things as much as possible, but github is really just a great company/organization/site/whatever.

How to fire a branch to pass parameters without url?

is it possible to fire a branch when user clicks a link on the page. I have a report on a page #2 and one of the column is "serialno". When the user clicks the link, the application needs to go to page #3 and show the details for the serial. However because of security restrictions, I can't pass the serialno in the url. is it possbile to set the page item serialno on page #3 in the branch which takes the user to page #3 and show the details?. any ideas are appreciated.
Regards,
Surya
Edited by: sgodavar on Aug 13, 2010 4:10 PM

Hi,
Here is what I think is an easy way of doing it.
1. Edit the SERIALNO column from the Reports Attribute tab
2. Change the Column Link Target to URL
3. In URL type the line below. The #SERIALNO# is the report column
javascript:doSumbit('#SERIALNO#') 4. Write an OnSubit Computation or Process to assign the value of #SERIALNO# to the item on Page 3 (say P3_ITEM1)
   a. Assignment can be :P3_ITEM1 := :REQUEST; ( or SQL)
   b. Computation/ Process condition will be PL/SQL Expression
    regexp_like(:REQUEST,'^[[:digit:]]).*$') -- all numeric request, no semicolon at end in Apex 4
   5. Create condition branch to go to Page 3, with the above regexp_like as the condition.
Here is what will happen.
a. Clicking the link on the report will cause a submit with request = serialno (assumed to be all numeric in this example)
b. You trap and process the all numeric requests assign the request value to the item on Page3.
c. Branch to Page 3 on the same condition of request being numeric.
Above is the basic concept, you can make it more complex and flexible using prefixes and suffixes in the doSubmit and REGEXP_LIKE to allow multiple links of this type from one report.

Questionable Legality: HyperlinkListener without URLs

Hey guys,
My goal is to have website-style links in a JEditorPane that cause certain behaviors in my GUI when the user clicks them.
The SSCCE below works exactly how I'd want it to. The only problem is, I feel a bit dirty using a HyperlinkListener in such a seemingly non-standard way. Is there a better/standard way to accomplish my goal? I thought of using a JTextPane with clickable JLabels inserted where my hyperlinks now go, but using the HyperlinkListener seems simpler.
Here is the potentially shameful SSCCE I came up with:
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class EditorLinkTest {
   public EditorLinkTest() {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("EditorPane Link Test");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      final JEditorPane textComponent = new JEditorPane();
      textComponent.setEditable(false);
      textComponent.setContentType("text/html");
      String text = "Background color:<br/>" +
         "<a href='red'>Click here</a> for red.<br/>"+
         "<a href='white'>Click here</a> for white.<br/>";
      textComponent.setText(text);
      textComponent.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
         public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
            if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
               try {
                   //e.getURL() would cause a NPE, for obvious reasons
                  String link = e.getDescription();
                  System.out.println("Link: " + link);
                  if(link.contains("red")){
                     textComponent.setBackground(Color.RED);
                  else if(link.contains("white")){
                     textComponent.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
               catch (Exception ex) {
                  System.err.println("Error: " + ex);
      JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textComponent, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
      frame.add(scrollPane);
      frame.setSize(200, 200);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      new EditorLinkTest();
}So, what say you? Am I just being paranoid about what is a "valid" use of a HyperlinkListener? Or should I man up and change my GUI so that it uses a JTextPane with clickable components that cause the desired behavior? Do I not fix what ain't broke, or do I delete this dirty code before anybody else sees it?
I'm on the fence myself, so any input would be appreciated.

I see nothing on my stdout (I'm using JDK1.6.0_11, WinXP) when I click the links... And I'm not able to debug why (never used HyperlinkEvents before).That's really weird. I'm using JDK1.6.0_17, WinXP. I'll have to investigate whether it works other platforms, I suppose :(Works home (JDK 1.6.0_11, WInXP too). Beats me...
Anyway at least I could investigate forward...
Instead of "parsing" the event's description, couldn't you get its Element property, and look at the Element's attributes?I've been playing with this for a while now, but I can't seem to find anything useful from HyperlinkEvent.getSourceElement().anything. Am I missing something?I tried this. Seems to work:
         public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
            if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
               try {
                   //e.getURL() would cause a NPE, for obvious reasons
                  // String link = e.getDescription();
                  AttributeSet attrs = e.getSourceElement().getAttributes();
                  AttributeSet aTagAttrs = (AttributeSet)attrs.getAttribute(HTML.Tag.A);
                  String link = (String)aTagAttrs.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF);
                  System.out.println("href VALUE: " + link);
                  if(link.equals("red")){
                     textComponent.setBackground(Color.RED);
                  else if(link.equals("white")){
                     textComponent.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
               catch (Exception ex) {
                  System.err.println("Error: " + ex);
         }I don't know what worse... Parsing the undocumented description string, vs relying on the poorly-documented types and hierarchy of AttributeSets... Assuming this latter is reliable, I much prefer it: after all once digged through it, makes sense that there is an <A> tag, whose HREF attribute contains the link string. What makes less sense is that I had to inspect the private attributes of JDK classes in a debugger to discover the types and values of those! >o(

Hi Kalpesh Chhatrala,
I wonder if you are using the WCF Soap Service or the WCF Rest Service.
Since your WCF Service works very well without the URI Rewriting, then it seems that you have do something wrong during the process of the URI Rewriting, so please try to refer to the following articles about how to do the URI Rewriting
for the WCF Service:

Disable URL-Mangling in BSP Runtime

Hi Experts,
we decided to provide some web applications für mobile devices. Currently (and maybe never) WD ABAP does not support mobile devices. Therefore we are looking for alternatives.
There are a lot of threads in the net where other people discussed the same topic and several decided to use BSP. We wanted to use BSP and jQueryMobile but we noticed that there are some problems because of URL-Mangling / rewriting.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to disable URL-Mangling without modification? We already thought about an own request handler in TA SICF but in this case we also need an own CL_BSP_RUNTIME (to disable the coding in method on_check_rewrite). However this is difficult because some standard BSP runtime classes (RUNTIME, NAVIGATION...) are marked as final, so it isn't possible to inherit from them and we don't want to copy / redevelop all relevant classes.
Furthermore there are other disadvantages like:
- many redirects (problematical with low-bandwidth connections)
- client cookie handling is more difficult
Do you have any idea?
Kind regards
Danny

Hello!
I've done quite a lot of BSP development together with and without javascript frameworks like jQuery. It's possible to create a scenario without URL mangling if you set the system architecture in a specific way. I could speak a lot about this setup as it works really well! Here is a quick guide to get started:
Step 1:
The BSP runtime isn't really used at all. Create a BSP application but only store MIME objects in it. The MIME objects isn't URL mangled! The drawback is of course you can't do server side ABAP in your HTML documents. On the positive side, any Web Developer can create the HTML and javascript without ABAP programming skills. SAP functions as a static web server with all the benefits of the ICM cache and transport system.
Step 2:
Add an external alias in SICF for the BSP application. Like pointing "/myapp" to "/sap/bsp/sap/zmyapp_v001". The external alias is configured with a service account (without any authorizations) with authentication set to "Required with Logon Data". All fields should be specified (Client, User and Language). Now, any anonymous user can request the HTML files without interfering with logon data.
You don't need an external alias, but they come in handy to have nice-looking URLs; the possibility to change their target when you have multiple versions at the same time; and you can create multiple alias for the same application with different logon data. Like "/myapp/english" if you want. Or "/myapp/client800". Or "/myapp/latest", "/myapp/version1" etc.
Step 3:
Create a custom HTTP handler for your business data and assign it to a node in SICF. For example "/customers/orders/get" or whatever you find appropriate for your app. Since you now have your own handler, the BSP runtime isn't involved and no URL mangling exists.
The handler returns data in a suitable format for Web Developers (read: JSON).
Protect this node with security that matches the flexibility required from the frontend. I usually set another service account for this service and handle authorization myself; returning HTTP status codes like 403, 200 to the Web Developer (but not 401 as it's quite difficult to handle in AJAX scenarios). In it's most simple form you can provide username and password as form fields and perform a user switch in the handler for every request, effectively changing SY-UNAME in the handler ensuring that the correct user context is used.
Best regards,
Mikael Gurenius
SAP Solution Architect (Mobility)
PS: MIME objects are of course served with URL Mangling if referenced relative to the BSP application. You can avoid this (for example for the Apple icons) by always linking your MIME objects from the root. Get the application path using code or type manually. Like
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed"
sizes="57x57"
href="<%= lv_path %>/icon_57x57.png" /> where lv_path is "/myapp/images" or "/sap/bc/bsp/myapp/images". If you do this, you can have URL Mangling (and do ABAP development) in your BSP pages but still have "clean" URLs for MIME objects.

Ical list printing shows URL info not entered manually

I used to be able to add items through Ical without URLs being automatically added when I print any list in Ical. I create items in Ical, yet the URLs automatically appear later? I am not sure if this started happening after system or mail updates or due to sync of iPhone? Can anyone shed some light? I can enter a new item, with that item not showing a URL, but eventually the URL will pop in?

I am really hating this. iCal is adding a URL onto my "to-do" items. I don't want iCal to do this. The link says "show in mail". I've tried help in both iCal and Mail to eliminate this URL.
The big problem is I want to print my to-do list without the URLs showing. They are huge, take up tons of space, and are just going to confuse everyone looking at the to-do list. HELP! PLEASE!

URL of the WSDL document missing from Enterprise Service

Hi,
my scenario is BW==>PI==>CRM7.0. where CRM is a service provider.
In transaction SPROXY in CRM I can see the service I need, but under WSDL tab I can only find wsdl definition without the URL address. Service does not come in any SOAmanager screen either.
I need to call this service from PI, but without URL can't create Communication Channel.
Is there anything that can be done about it? Anything I've missed?
Since this is a pre ramp-up release I contacted SAP but I'm still waiting for their answer.
Maybe someone had similar problem and knows the answer, any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Krystyna Rokicka

Hello,
In that case, you need to create an XI adapter comm channel that will point to the CRM system (not really sure if there are other approaches, but this one is working for us). You could try this config:
Host: CRMhostname/IP
Port: CRM port
Path: /sap/xi/engine?type=entry
Let me know if this works,

Losing url variable after logging into session

I have a coldfusion helpdesk application that is secured with a application.cfm login system. Once a ticket is submitted it sends out an email with a link to view the ticket. The link contains a url variable to link it back to the correct ticket. If the user is not logged in, the url variable is stripped off after the login process. Is there any way to prevent this?

From your description, at least 2 requests are involved. One request takes the unauthenticated user to the login page. Together with URL variables. I would imagine that a second request then takes him - without URL variables! - from the login form to the form's action page, where his credentials are validated.
If so, then that is the expected behaviour. You could change it as follows. Enable session management, and implement the following on the login page:
<cfloop collection="#url#" item="myVar">
<cfset session[myVar] = url[myVar]>
</cfloop>
This results in ColdFusion storing the value of each URL variable as a variable of the same name in the session scope. Thus, the values of URL.x, URL.y, etc. will be stored, respectively, as SESSION.x, SESSION.y, etc.. You could then transfer the respective values from session back into URL scope in the links in later pages.

Reports Integration Bean -- Cookie Expires Unexpectedly

After successfully using the bean described in the Oracle Forms Services – Secure Web.Show_Document() calls to Oracle Reports white paper for a while, I've noticed a potential problem.
Suppose I do the following:
1. Start up my browser, log in to my Forms application and use it to run a report.
2. Stay logged in to my Forms application for more than about 30 minutes, but without running another report during that time.
3. Try run a report from my Forms application again.
In Step 1, the bean "works" -- my login information gets "automagically" passed to Reports.
In Step 3, the bean "doesn't work" -- I get the "Database User Authentication" page with the "REP-51018: Need database user authentication" error.
If I wait less than 30 minutes in Step 2, then the bean "works" in Step 3.
WRITE_LOGOUTPUT shows nothing out of the ordinary -- the cookie appears to be getting set correctly both times.
The output from Step 1 looks something like this:
FrmReportsInteg0: Debugging true
FrmReportsInteg0: Adding new userid string "TEST/TEST@MYDBHOST"
FrmReportsInteg0: Default cookie domain: .mydomain.com
FrmReportsInteg0: set RW_AUTH10g
FrmReportsInteg0: Arguments: encryptionKey=reports9i; Reports version=RW10g
FrmReportsInteg0: Cookie value for RW10g is: TEST/TEST@MYDBHOST;1196108541259:30
FrmReportsInteg0: Encoded cookie value is: <22-character encrypted string>+<9-character encrypted string>xROht/0qZoY<5-character encrypted string>
FrmReportsInteg0: Complete cookie string is: userid=<22-character encrypted string>+<9-character encrypted string>xROht/0qZoY<5-character encrypted string>
FrmReportsInteg0: Added domain ".mydomain.com" to cookie
FrmReportsInteg0: Generated Cookie String: userid=<22-character encrypted string>+<9-character encrypted string>xROht/0qZoY<5-character encrypted string>; domain=.mydomain.com; path=/
FrmReportsInteg0: IE Cookie Set
The output from Step 3 (after waiting more than 30 minutes) looks something like this:
FrmReportsInteg1: Debugging true
FrmReportsInteg1: Adding new userid string "TEST/TEST@MYDBHOST"
FrmReportsInteg1: Default cookie domain: .mydomain.com
FrmReportsInteg1: set RW_AUTH10g
FrmReportsInteg1: Arguments: encryptionKey=reports9i; Reports version=RW10g
FrmReportsInteg1: Cookie value for RW10g is: TEST/TEST@MYDBHOST;1196110640401:30
FrmReportsInteg1: Encoded cookie value is: <22-character encrypted string>+<9-character encrypted string>xBuit/wsY44<5-character encrypted string>
FrmReportsInteg1: Complete cookie string is: userid=<22-character encrypted string>+<9-character encrypted string>xBuit/wsY44<5-character encrypted string>
FrmReportsInteg1: Added domain ".mydomain.com" to cookie
FrmReportsInteg1: Generated Cookie String: userid=<22-character encrypted string>+<9-character encrypted string>xBuit/wsY44<5-character encrypted string>; domain=.mydomain.com; path=/
FrmReportsInteg1: IE Cookie Set
The "22-character encrypted strings", "9-character encrypted strings", and "5-character encrypted strings" are the same as each other.
I'm on IE 6 with JInitiator 1.3.1.17.
My code looks something like this:
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY
    'CONTROL_BLOCK.USERID_BEAN',
    1,
    'ADD_USERID',
    GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME)||'/'||
        GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(PASSWORD)||'@'||
        GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CONNECT_STRING)
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('CONTROL_BLOCK.USERID_BEAN', 1, 'WRITE_USERID_COOKIE', '10G');
-- SYNCHRONIZE as specified in Metalink Note 279938.1.
SYNCHRONIZE;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(:PARAMETER.URL, '_blank');
EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);I call this code (including the EXIT_FORM) each time I run a report.
I'm not using SET_MAX_AGE. I assume the behavior I'm seeing is somehow related to the default expiry time of 30 minutes that the white paper mentions for SET_MAX_AGE.
Still, I am setting ADD_USERID and WRITE_USERID_COOKIE each time. I would expect (incorrectly?) that would "reset" the cookie and its expiry date. The entry for WRITE_USERID_COOKIE in Appendix A of the white paper seems to suggest this:
The WRITE_USERID_COOKIE property actually sets the cookie to the client browser. This property needs to be called whenever the user database connect information for a Reports changes or after the cookie has been invalidated by exceeding the time defined as max_age.
Why is WRITE_USERID_COOKIE not resetting the cookie and its expiry date? If it doesn't, what's the point of setting WRITE_USERID_COOKIE "after the cookie has been invalidated?"
Is that "just the way it works"? If so, can anyone suggest any workarounds?
Thanks.

Hi,
I recently implemented this functionality for our project and I can confirm your observations. I haven't had time to look into it yet, though. If you find a solution, then please post it to this forum.
