Tab key and lookup table

Hi,
How to use the 'Tab' key to open a lookup table, E.g. BP Code, Name?
Alternatively, how to use the 'Tab' key to call a formatted search? I hope to follow the standard in SBO and do away the Shift-F2.
I am using VB and 2004B. Your input will be appreciated.

I think you can mimic every user action with UIAPI.
Therefore, e.g. in Sales Order Form you activate the BPCode item (.Click) and hit Tab (.SendKeys(vbTab)).
You could also try clicking the the iconitem ("67") next to BPCode.
If you want to assign a Choose From List (CFL) to an item of your choice using UIAPI then you should wait for 2005.
Shift-F2 is standard in SBO UI for launching FSs, why would you like to disable it?
If you want to enable tabbing to kick-off an existing FS, then you should capture the tabbing event (et_KEY_DOWN) in your item and then use SendKeys for sending Shift-F2 to keyboard.

Remote key for lookup tables

Hi,
I need some advice on remote keys for lookup tables.
We have loaded lookup data from several client system into the MDM repository. Each of the client system can have diffferences in the lookup values. What we need to do is to enable the keymappings so that the syndicator would know which value belongs to which system.
The tricky part is. We haven't managed to send out the values based on the remote keys. We do <b></b>not<b></b> want to send the lookup tables themselves but the actually main table records. All lookup data should be checked at the point of the syndication and only the used lookup values that orginally came from one system should be send to that particular system. Otherwise they should be tag should be blank.
Is this the right approach to handle this demand or is there a different way to take care of this? What would be the right settings in the syndicator?
Help will be rewarded.
Thank you very much
best regards
Nicolas

Hi Andreas,
that is correct. Let's take two examples:
1) regions
2) Sales Area data (qualified lookup data)
Both tables are filled and loaded directly from the R/3s. So you would already know which value belongs to which system.
The problem that I have is that we will not map the remote key from the main table because it will be blank for new created master data (Centralization scenario). Therefore we cannot map the remote key from the attached lookup tables, can we?
The remote key will only work for lookup tables if the remote key of the actual master data is mapped. Since we don't have the remote key (local customer ID form R/3) in MDM and since we do not create it at the point of the syndication... how would the SAP standard scenario would look like for that?
This is nothing extraordinary it's just a standard centralization scneario.
Please advice.
Thanks alot
best regards
Nicolas

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar

HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)

Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

Import of Main and Lookup table in a single Map

Hey Guys,
I am developing a Proof of Concept to Import Main and Lookup-Flat in a single Import Map (by using a single excel file).
Below is my Table structure:
Main Table: Customer
--->Customer_Number (Text,Unique Field, Display Field)
--->Sales_Area (Lookup Flat)
Lookup Table: Sales_Area
Sales_Area_ID (Text,Unique Field,Display Field)
Sales_Area_Desc (Text,Display Field).
The import File (excel) has below attributes:
Customer_Number,Sales_Area_ID,Sales_Area_Desc.
When i start both Main Table and Lookup tables are empty (there is no data in Data Manager for either of the tables)
Now in the Import Map, i selected source as the excel file and target as the Main table.
I did mapping of Customer_Number as usual after that I created a compound field for Sales_Area_ID+ Sales_Area_Desc and did the mapping of this compound field. then did the mapping for Sales_Area_ID and Sales_Area_Desc.
Now since there is no data in lookup table, i select the "Add" button in the "Value Mapping" section. when i execute this map, it works perfectly and data is loaded in both the Main table and lookup table but if a new value comes in the excel(a value which does not yet exist in lookup table), the map fails, when i open it , it says that i need to redo the Value Mapping, again i click on "Add" button and it starts working. So basically the Import Map fails whenever i get a value in excel which does not yet exist in Lookup table.
Now my question is, is there a way to automate my import map, i thought clicking on "Add" button will take care of all the lookup values which are not already present.
Can anyone please help me in this regard.
Thanks
Saif

Hi Saif,
You can try the following option.
Right click on the lookup filed/compound filed in destination fields, and select the option 'SET MDIS Unmapped Value Handling' as 'ADD'.
Cheers,
Cherry.

Creating a single context index on a one-to-many and lookup table

Hello,
I've been successfully setting up text indexes on multiple columns on the same table (using MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE preferences), but now I have a situation with a one-to-many data collection table (with a FK to a lookup table), and I need to search columns across both of these tables. Sample code below, more of my chattering after the code block:
CREATE TABLE SUBMISSION
( SUBMISSION_ID             NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
SUBMISSION_NAME           VARCHAR2(100)       NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE ADVISOR_TYPE
( ADVISOR_TYPE_ID           NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME         VARCHAR2(50)        NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE SUBMISSION_ADVISORS
( SUBMISSION_ADVISORS_ID    NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
SUBMISSION_ID             NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
ADVISOR_TYPE_ID           NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
FIRST_NAME                VARCHAR(50)         NULL,
LAST_NAME                 VARCHAR(50)         NULL,
SUFFIX                    VARCHAR(20)         NULL
INSERT INTO SUBMISSION (SUBMISSION_ID, SUBMISSION_NAME) VALUES (1, 'Some Research Paper');
INSERT INTO SUBMISSION (SUBMISSION_ID, SUBMISSION_NAME) VALUES (2, 'Thesis on 17th Century Weather Patterns');
INSERT INTO SUBMISSION (SUBMISSION_ID, SUBMISSION_NAME) VALUES (3, 'Statistical Analysis on Sunny Days in March');
INSERT INTO ADVISOR_TYPE (ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME) VALUES (1, 'Department Chair');
INSERT INTO ADVISOR_TYPE (ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME) VALUES (2, 'Department Co-Chair');
INSERT INTO ADVISOR_TYPE (ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME) VALUES (3, 'Professor');
INSERT INTO ADVISOR_TYPE (ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME) VALUES (4, 'Associate Professor');
INSERT INTO ADVISOR_TYPE (ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME) VALUES (5, 'Scientist');
INSERT INTO SUBMISSION_ADVISORS (SUBMISSION_ADVISORS_ID, SUBMISSION_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, SUFFIX) VALUES (1,1,2,'John', 'Doe', 'PhD');
INSERT INTO SUBMISSION_ADVISORS (SUBMISSION_ADVISORS_ID, SUBMISSION_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, SUFFIX) VALUES (2,1,2,'Jane', 'Doe', 'PhD');

INSERT INTO SUBMISSION_ADVISORS (SUBMISSION_ADVISORS_ID, SUBMISSION_ID, ADVISOR_TYPE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, SUFFIX) VALUES (5,3,5,'Williard', 'Forsberg', 'AMS');
COMMIT;I want to be able to create a text index to lump these fields together:
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.FIRST_NAME
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.LAST_NAME
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.SUFFIX
ADVISOR_TYPE.ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME
I've looked at DETAIL_DATASTORE and USER_DATASTORE, but the examples in Oracle Docs for DETAIL_DATASTORE leave me a little bit perplexed. It seems like this should be pretty straightforward.
Ideally, I'm trying to avoid creating new columns, and keeping the trigger adjustments to a minimum. But I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for for your time and thoughts.

I would create a procedure that creates a virtual document with tags, which is what the multi_column_datatstore does behind the scenes. Then I would use that procedure in a user_datastore, so the result is the same for multiple tables as what a multi_column_datastore does for one table. I would also use either auto_section_group or some other type of section group, so that you can search using WITHIN as with the multi_column_datastore. Please see the demonstration below.

Using bucket search and lookup tables

I have to create an array of dates, and then extend this by creating a lookup table for the months of the dates. So this lookup table will have 12 elements. Finally it should print to the screen the total amount of times a month appears in the object array. I have created my array and i am only working on getting the bucket search working at the moment. In the code you will see the problem i am having on lines 45 and 46. The assigning is of different types so it wont allow it. I was thinking about using a toString method to get this working but then would the lookup tables be able to look up the months still? Also where abouts in the code would i put the toString method? Can i actually do it when declaring the arrays e.g. a[0]=new Date.toSting( (2, "January", 2007) );
Anyway, heres what i have:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Date
public int Day;
public int Year;
public String Month;
public Date(int day, String month, int year){
Day = day;
Year = year;
Month = month;
public static void main(String[] args)
final int ARRAY_SIZE = 10;
final int RANGE = 30;
Date[] a = new Date[ARRAY_SIZE];
a[0]=new Date (2, "January", 2007);
a[1]=new Date (21, "Feburary", 2007);
a[2]=new Date (31, "December", 2007);
a[3]=new Date (29, "Demember", 2007);
a[4]=new Date (8, "April", 2007);
a[5]=new Date (15, "January", 2007);
a[6]=new Date (12, "Feburary", 2007);
a[7]=new Date (30, "August", 2007);
a[8]=new Date (4, "June", 2007);
a[9]=new Date (19, "June", 2007);
boolean result;
String searchKey;
boolean[] bucket = new boolean[RANGE];
for (int i = 0; i < RANGE; i++)
bucket[i] = false;
for (int j = 0; j < ARRAY_SIZE; j++)
String data;
data = a[j]; //???????????????
bucket[data] = true;
searchKey = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Give me a date");;
result = bucketSearch(bucket, searchKey);
if (result == true)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"KEY " + searchKey + " FOUND");
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"KEY " + searchKey + " NOT FOUND");
System.exit(0);
public static boolean bucketSearch (boolean[] bucket, int key)
return bucket[key];
}ps.. i know i need to sort out my searchkey but i will do this after i sort out this problem.
Cheers

The bucket search is actually another question, but i also went to search the net for it and couldnt find anything on bucket search. This is what they are calling a bucket search:
Write a fragment of Java code that does a lookup table search. It asks the user of the program to input a
key to search for and then searches for it in a previously pre-computed lookup table, called bucket that
stores true to mean the data was in the original array and false to mean it was not. It prints a message
indicating whether the data was in the original array or not.
key = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
("Give me a number to search for"));
if (bucket[key] == true)
System.out.print("Data found");
else
System.out.print("Data is not present");

Strange behavior with the tab key and multiple users

Hello,
I'm stuck on this problem and none of the usual trouble-shooting techniques have yielded results, so perhaps someone will point me the right direction.
I have an Intel iMac running 10.3.9 with two user accounts, and in one of the accounts the tab key fails to advance the cursor from field to field in any application, be it a browser, mail client, etc. The tab key works otherwise, I can switch between applications using apple tab, for instance. The other user account works fine. The keyboard & Mouse preferences are identical on both user accounts. In fact, after creating a new user account it too had no tabbing from field to field either, which would seem to indicate that it is not a problem in an individual account. Repairing the permissions did not help, and even a recent archive and install failed to change this. Anyone know where to look for an answer? Thanks in advance...
iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I did a wholesale replacement of the preferences folder from the working account to the non-working one, and after going through the welcome screens and re-setting a variety of preferences (setting up mail.app again, etc...), the tab key is functioning as expected in all applications. Thanks!

Tab keys and access keys

I filled in the required info for dynamic textboxes in the
accessibility panel but the tab keys still do not work in the exe
file. Flash CS3.
Any clues?
Thanks.

I'm want to change my forms resource file to map a key for next tab and previous tab:
eg, for Alt+C to exit a form the entry is:
67 : 8 : "Alt+C" : 32 : "Exit"
Where 32 is the Forms Function Number.
Does anyone know what the forms function numbers for next / previous tab are?
Many Thanks,
Jayesh Kavia

How to query table/comment information and lookup table names from PKs?

I am trying to figure out whether I can query the Oracle meta-data to look for:
a) comments on tables and fields matching a certain text pattern. If possible I would LIKE the text pattern matching not to be case-sensitive. Am I looking within the right meta tables?
SQL> desc all_col_comments
Name Null? Type
OWNER NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
TABLE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
COLUMN_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(4000)
SQL> desc user_tab_comments
Name Null? Type
TABLE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
TABLE_TYPE VARCHAR2(11)
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(4000)
See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:233014204543.
b) I was trying to look up a text named 'PKa200030' which showed up within an application upon which we are developing. The application uses Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition. However, I could not find the name anywhere when querying all_constraints, so I am not sure how to trace back the table name / package name, by knowing what seems to be a primary key constraints, any ideas please?
select c.table_name,c.constraint_name, --c.r_constraint_name,
cc.table_name
from all_constraints c
inner join all_constraints cc on c.r_constraint_name = cc.constraint_name
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3210743/viewing-oracles-metadata-about-primary-foreign-key-constraints.
c) I am not sure whether it is possible to draw a database entity model, perhaps using software, assuming that the primary/foreign keys have been already defined within Oracle 11g. Is software available to do this?

Content Search web part - Display Project Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables

My ultimate goal is to display a rollup table of our active projects (from PWA) on another site collection using the content search web part. I can return default properties (such as the project name, author and URL) fairly easily using the same basic steps
in the link below.
http://en.share-gate.com/blog/roll-up-sharepoint-2013-sites-using-search
My problem is that I want to also display information associated with each project from our PWA enterprise custom fields (such as risk, phase, etc.)
Because these custom fields do not appear to be site columns, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how this data is searched / indexed / mapped.
Is it possible to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a content search web part?

Hi Jennifer,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
As your active projects were from different site collection with the Content Search web part, you need to do a crawl for the content source, then create a managed property for the column in CA->Search Service Application->Search Schema. When you create
the managed property, select Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable. Then map it to the crawled property based on the custom column. You can find the crawled property by searching the name of the column in crawled properties.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219667(v=office.15).aspx
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hash keys and the table Pagesize.

Hi,
We look to be running into some performance issues running on TimesTen 5.1.25, and feel that we may be running into a problem of having the hash size set too small, as we are seeing lock contention on the index hash values.
The documentation says that the hash size can only be changed by recreating the table, however the documentation also states, that to resize a hash index, the "ALTER TABLE owner.name SET PAGES = CURRENT;" statement can be used.
Could you please explain which of these statements is correct, and whether this may be leading to greater lock contention, or whether we should be looking elsewhere.
Regards,
mgh

Yes, an undersized hash index can lead to performance issues and excessive contention. One should always size the index based on the formula PAGES = (maximum number of rows) / 256. The ttXactAdmin utility can be used to investigate lock and latch contention on the hash index. The degree of impact depends on the ratio of actual rows to expected rows. If A is the actual number of rows and H is the number of rows for which the hash index has been sized then the ratio A / H should always be <= 1. If it exceeds 1 by a small amount (e.g. 1.1) then the impact is small but once it exceeds one by a significant amount e.g. 1.5 upwards then the impact increases very quickly.
In 5.1, the only way to resize the index is by unloading the table data to a file (ttBulkCp), dropping the table, re-creating with the 'correct' hash index sizing and then reloading the data (ttBulkCp).
The ability to resize the index using ALTER TABLE was introduced in TimesTen 6.0.
Since this is an obvious and well known source of performance problems and increased contention I would recommend that you try to eliminate this issue in the first instance and see if that improves things. If it does not then you can move on to investigate other areas.

Read data from MDM For Lookup and Flat table using MDM ABAP API

Hi,
I have requriment to read data from MDM from FLAT and Lookup table using MDM ABAP API. My design is like this ,
I have one ITEMS (Main table in MDM) and inside that i have one Lookup flat table ITEM_TYPE , my requriment is to read Item number and its related Item type.
From ABAP.
Please help if any body has any idea.

HI Guys,
I found my solution by myself. Below is the solution , hope this will help others:-
Retrieve data from MDM using MDM ABAP API.
Step- 1. Create structure in SAP with the same name as that of MDM field code for MDM Main table.
Step-2. Create another structure in SAP having all lookup fields of MDM , fieldname in ECC must be same as that of MDM field
code.
Step-3.Create structure in SAP for individual lookup field(Single Field only)   with the same name as MDM Field code.
Step-4.

Lookup-table and query-database do not use global transaction

Hi,
following problem:
DbAdapter inserts data into DB (i.e. an invoice).
Process takes part in global transaction.
After the insert there is a transformation which uses query-database and / or lookup-table.
It seems these XPath / XSLT functions are NOT taking part in the transaction and so we can not access information from the current db transaction.
I know workarounds like using DbAdapter for every query needed, etc. but this will cost a lot of time to change.
Is there any way to share transaction in both DbAdapter insert AND lookup-table and query-database?
Thanks, Best Regards,
Martin

One dba contacted me and made this statement:
Import & export utilities are not independent from characterset. All
user data in text related datatypes is exported using the character set
of the source database. If the character sets of the source and target
databases do not match a single conversion is performed.So far, that does not appear to be correct.
nls_characterset = AL32UTF8
nls_nchar_characterset = UTF8
Running on Windows.
EXP produces a backup in WE8MSWIN1252.
I found that if I change the setting of the NLS_LANG registry setting for my oracle home, the exp utility exports to that character set.
I changed the nls_lang
from AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
Unfortunately , the export isn't working right, although it did change character sets.
I get a warning on a possible character set conversion issue from AL32UTF8 to UTF8.
Plus, I get an EXP_00056 Oracle error 932 encountered
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected BLOB, CLOB, get CHAR.
EXP-00000: export terminated unsuccessfully.
The schema I'm exporting with has exactly one procedure in it. Nothing else.
I guess getting a new error message is progress. :)
Still can't store multi-lingual characters in data tables.

How do I handle values in source that are not in "lookup" table?

hi there,
I have 3 tables (all Oracle technology):
1) Source table: CALLS with columns MSISDN, TRANS_DATE, TYPE, COST, DURATION
2) Lookup table: SUBSCRIBERS with columns SUBSCRIBERID, MSISDN, IMSI
3) Target table: FACT_CALLS with columns SUBSCRIBERID (not null), CALLDATE, CALLTYPE, CALLDURATION, CALLCHARGE.
Join between source and lookup table:
NVL(CALLS.MSISDN,0) =SUBSCRIBERS.MSISDN)
Mappings on target:
FACT_CALLS.SUBSCRIBERID --> SUBSCRIBERS.SUBSCRIBERID
FACT_CALLS.CALLDATE --> CALLS.TRANS_DATE
FACT_CALLS.CALLTYPE --> CALLS.TYPE
FACT_CALLS.CALLDURATION --> CALLS.DURATION
FACT_CALLS.CALLCHARGE --> CALLS.CHARGE
I have a dummy value in SUBSCRIBERS with values MSISDN = 0, SUBSCRIBERID = 0 and IMSI = 0, to be used if MSISDN in the source table is null or does not exist in the lookup table.
The NVL on the join takes care of the case when source MSISDN is null and this is working fine i.e. returns 0 for SUBSCRIBERID.
The problem occurs when the source MSISDN does have a value but such a value does not exist in the lookup table, such records are rejected.
How do I implement a solution for this?

hi Guru,
Yes I have 2 source tables and a target.
1) I created a join by dragging MSISDN on CALLS to MSISDN on SUBSCRIBERS then added the NVL part to have NVL(CALLS.MSISDN,0) =SUBSCRIBERS.MSISDN)
2) the target does not have MSISDN. Using the join the target SUBSCRIBERID column gets populated with the correct value from the lookup table.
i.e. FACT_CALLS.SUBSCRIBERID = (select SUBSCRIBERID from SUBSCRIBERS where SUBSCRIBERS.MSISDN = CALLS.MSISDN)
