SOLMAN_SETUP not invoking Browser

Hello everyone
We have a Solution Manager 7.1 installed. Initially on SP4 but upgraded to SP11. Since then something seems to have happened and cant get SOLMAN_SETUP to do what it is supposed to do and that is, open the process in a browser window. I can open a browser manually and enter the url and then it seems to work OK. But I dont think that is right. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any pointers as to where I could look to get it sorted?
When I test the service from SICF (ie. right-click on the service and select "test service" it does open the browser login screen.
Thanks and regards
Ray Phillips

Hi Ray
Could you check this SAP KBA & implement the correction
2002333 - SOLMAN_SETUP fails due to the error "Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible" after updating to 7.1 SP11

Error : - Could not invoke the browser

Hi,
I am new in oracle forms. I installed oracle forms 10 on my system. When I run the application it gives the error
FRM-18126: Could not invoke the browser
Is there any way to resolve this error.
Thanks.

hi
Try to restart your oc4j instance and start your browser and put http://<hostname:8888

Open doc file in msWord but not in browser

JDev 11.1.1.6.0
My requirement is similar to that in https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2327005 but in 11g.
The user has almost done it in making changes in web.xml but I am a beginner and I don't know how to make this happen on click of a command button or a command image link.
Also, it would be nice if the doc file (new blank doc) opens in MS Word application and not in browser without making changes in browser level.

Hi,
if the requirement is similar and not the same its always worth spelling it out. You can reference document resources like Word from ADF by referencing the document URL from a goLink (which then allows you to set the target property to open the doc in a separate browser window or tab). If the browser opens Word, downloads the file or opens in the browser depends on the MIME type setting of the browser (e.g. can it display Word documents natively). If the document e.g is accessed from ADF through a servlet then you probably can set the Mime type explicitly to a specific one. However, it the client in the end that interprets how to process the document.

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi Experts,
We are facing a issue while calling a Automated activity from BPM process, the process gets suspended and the BPM logs says "Process XYZ suspended, A technical error during invocation: Could not invoke service reference name fdhueoegghejietyhsjk6886 Component name ABC " We have already checked the mapped service reference and provider system.

The details/ID in NWDS Service Reference must exactly match the SOA configuration. Sometimes it's possible you have changed the reference or the group itself and something changed to become mismatched.
It's possible they don't match - but the SG itself will show green in NWA since the service exists and responds on the target system. Does the ID listed in the error match what is shown in the NWDS project?

IWeb pages reverting to older version- not a browser issue, deleting prefs/caches no help

Hi everyone, forgive me if this is a newb question but I've scoured the internet for answers and all of them I've already tried with no luck. I'm using iWeb and encountering a problem that has me completely stumped. I'm trying to publish changes to my site, (I do not use mobileme, I publish to disk and upload files via Fetch) and for some reason something is changing my html files when I try to upload them. The html files are correct on my hard drive when I publish them, and yet when I upload them, they revert to the older version. This is not a browser issue, as I've cleared my cache, refreshed and tried using Safari, Firefox and Chrome with no luck. I've also tried 're-setting' iWeb by deleting iWeb preferences/cache, and tried moving the domain file from application support, creating a new website, deleting it and then re-loading the old site. Nothing, still the old site. It's new in iWeb, new when I open the html files on my drive, and old as soon as I upload.
I seem to remember having this problem before, and what I found was iWeb's cache kept replacing my new pages with the old ones every time I wanted to upload them. 'Re-setting' iWeb did the trick then, but it's not doing it now. Any ideas on what is going on? It's a little disconcerting seeing a file correct on the disk and then change itself, while uploading, into an incorrect version.
Using:
iWeb 3.0.3
Mac OS 10.6.7
Mac Pro 2.66 Dual core

If you make changes to a page there are files in the Scripts folder that get updated and must be uploaded also. Depending on what you're using to up load the files it can be setup to upload just those new or modified files.
Cyberduck is a free FTP client that works very well and if used in conjunction with this tutorial will upload only those new or modified files: #2 - Uploading only those new or newly edited and published files when using a 3rd party FTP client

Hi,
Ur module name shud b like this
localejbs/<yourEJBClassName>
If you specify an incorrect or non-existing module name, it is simply ignored.
Check the following:
1. Your stateless session bean should implement SessionBean and Module.
2. The bean should have the following method
public ModuleData process()
Try to create a file in XI Server directory from your adapter module code and this way check whether your module is called or not.

Way to force .pdf to open in Reader and not in browser

I saw where there was an Acrobat action called
Convert PDF2FDF auto-save Action on the AcrobatUsers.com Action Exchange.
which didn't work, it came in corrupted and unusable. Does anyone know of an action or anything that will force a .pdf hosted online to open in the visitor's Reader program and NOT the browser they are in...? No matter what browser.
Any help you can give me with this is appreciated. Looking for a consistent user experience here where they can fill in the information on the pdf form, save it and email it without too much hoopla.
I am really surprised after all of the work I've put into this that this is not something that is more easily accomplished, but perhaps I am doing something wrong or don't have enough information.
Thanks!
Ruth

Actions can be tricky, Are you aware that the method of encoding Actions or Batch Processes changed between versions 9 and 10 and again between 10 and XI?
What version of Acrobat are you using?

ORACLE ADF 11g /JSF TO serviet (Service method) not invoking

Hi,
ORACLE ADF 11g /JSF TO serviet (Service method) not invoking
My project name is : ComplProject
inside the project im having 1 jsp say x.jsp
work environment : (oracleADF 11g) jdev11 and weblogic server 10.3
in x.jsp im displaying 1 go link -> when ever we click on GO link it should go to ComplServlet.java
i tried like,
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("/servlet/ComplServlet");
the "ComplServlet" is an URL pattern in web.xml which points to servlet.
but not working
i pointed to faces-config.xml also , not working
i tried to forward like
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ServletContext sContext = (ServletContext)context.getExternalContext().getContext();
ServletRequest request = (ServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
System.out.println("third line...............");
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.sendRedirect("/servlet/ViewDocument");
sContext.getRequestDispatcher("/servlet/ViewDocument").include(request, response);
brief
(from jsf page) after clicking on GO LINK i need to redirect or control should go to servlet ->service method
thanks in advance

Service working fine in Gateway but not in browser

Hi All,
I have a gateway service which is working fine in Development system but after transporting to Quality system, it is not working on browser.
It is running perfectly in Quality gateway system but on browser it's throwing error:
Model '' contains errors. Contact Adminstrator
I am not even able to open metadata on browser.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hello Satya,
The error is saying your model contains error, that means there is some problem with ur data model.
But u also say that it works in GW Client and not in browser.
Please try the below and check:
1. Please make sure that the host and the port used are correct in browser. Get Host and Port info from GW Client and use accordingly.
2. Clear your browser cache as well.
3. Clear your model cache and try. Go to t-code /iwfnd/cache_cleanup and clear the cache and check again from browser.

SES Release Strategy not invoked in Backend from SRM confirmation posting

Hi,
I have configured a SES release strategy based on vendor number in R/3. When a SES is created in R/3 via ML81N the release strategy is invoked as expected. However, when a confirmation is entered in SRM for that vendor, the SES that is created in the backend system is created in accepted status and the release strategy is not invoked.
Can anyone advise how to get this to work the same way as ML81N?
I would expect that the SES would be created in the backend from the confirmation without acceptance and the release procedure to be the same as ML81N.
thanks,
Michelle.

Hi,
The SRM confirmation in EBP is the goods receipt(MIGO) and not the service entry sheet entry (ML81N) as we do in Materials management.
As per my understanding there is no provision of service entry sheet entry in SRM 5.0 as of now and SRM 7.0 has this option coming up :
In SRM 7.0 ,
"Supplier-maintained confirmation (service entry sheet) for services performed based on the service items within a purchase order
Confirmation supporting hierarchical structure of service items"
are added.
Look for this information in the thread which speaks about SRM 7.0
Re: Benefits of upgrading to SAP SRM 2007
which gives the info in slide 11, Delta SRM 7.0, Service procurement -2

Searching LOV is not invoking any method

Hello JHeadstart team:
I have the following behaviour with my LOVs generated from JHeadstart (10.1.2)
The "Go" button seems to not invoke anything, just give back the same page, not doing any filter.
By watching the log window in JDeveloper, seems like no event is invoked.
Also, I don't see in the generated lov.uix page an event called lovFilter under handlers (should I have one?)
When the page is invoked from the parent page, I have the following log, and the advancedSearch is being invoked giving me the filter, if I typed something before clicking the flashlight:
12:01:56 DEBUG (JhsActionServlet) -Setting current HttpServletRequest on jhsUserRoles wrapper object on session to allow EL access to request.isUserInRolefunction

But nothing happens when clicking "Go". Is it a bug? Do I have any workaround?

Here goes my workaround. JHeadstart Team, please check if what I'm doing is right. If yes, I believe this is an important correction for future releases:
Reason:
The LOV page generated has in the <listOfValues> tag the attribute searchAreaMode="filter".
The onLovFilter event has the code:
String searchAreaMode = request.getParameter(SEARCH_AREA_MODE);
if ("advanced".equals(searchAreaMode))
onAdvancedSearch(daContext);
else if ("simple".equals(searchAreaMode))
onQuickSearch(daContext);
else
// if we get here, we are not yet in the LOV page, the user
// has invoked the page through clicking on the lov icon.
// we must clear the search text so it is not displayed as search
// criterium in the lov (searchAttribute is already empty when
// clicking the lov icon)
// And onQuickSearch should only execute the query if iterator
// is not inf find mode. To signal to the onQuickSearch method that
// this check is needed and to clear the search text, we set a
// request attribute
request.setAttribute(LOV_CHECK_FIND_MODE, "true");
mLog.debug("Lov icon clicked, clear searchText in searchBean");
onQuickSearch(daContext);
But this code is setting the LOV_CHECK_FIND_MODE to true when searchArea = "filter", making the onQuickSearch event to set the searchText to null
I overriden the whole event adding also the
else if ("filter".equals(searchAreaMode))
onQuickSearch(daContext);
and now is working fine.
In my previous post I mentioned that also the attribute was wrong, but this was my mistake in the ApplicationStructure file.

Custom button with action listener - will not invoke action listener

Hi
For whatever reason, I cannot find a concise example of a simple custom component that can invoke an action listener. The tutorials I've read so far either ignore this fundamental topic or only make the slightest make reference to it.
The best I have come up with - in terms of a simple prototype is below... but, the action listener is never invoked.... Can someone tell me what I am missing (full code below). Hopefully, what is missing or incorrect will be obvious to you JSF experts out there.
Thanks for any help!!

got it working....
The changes were:
in "SpecialBtnRenderer"...
--new--
                    mb.invoke(context, new Object[1]);
--old--
                    mb.invoke(context, new Object[0]);
in "SpecialBtnTag"...
--new--
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
--new--
                MethodBinding mb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding(specialBtnListener, new Class[]{ActionEvent.class});
--old--
                MethodBinding mb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding(specialBtnListener, null);
-Below is the entire application, again -- for those (like myself) who need concrete examples...
I hope this helps someone else! --f

Constructor in object not invoked

Hi,
I'm loading an object collection via the following SQL and am fnding that the constructor for each instance of the object table is not invoked:
declare
tb_Msg_Batch tb_Msg := tb_Msg();
begin
select cast(multiset (
select ddq.Entry_No
,10
,ddq.Entry_Data
from Datadist_Queue_01 ddq
where ddq.Entry_No = 1
) as tb_Msg
into tb_Msg_Batch
from dual;
end;
The following is the decleration used for the above objects:
create or replace type ty_Msg as object
(Entry_No number(10)
,Msg_Code number(5)
,Data_Msg blob
,constructor function ty_Msg return self as result)
create or replace type body ty_Msg as
constructor function ty_Msg (self in out nocopy ty_Msg) return self as result as
begin
self.Msg_Code := -999;
return;
end;
end;
create type tb_Msg as table of ty_Msg
I thought a default constructor is always called, but when I view the data the MSG_CODE attribute has a value of 10 instead of -999, which is what it is assigned in the function.
Could somebody please advise as to why the constructor function is not invoked for each instance of TY_MSG when populating a collection of that type?
Thanks
Peter

Void should be "void" not "Void"...
