URGENT: Unicode questions

Hi experts out there
We need to have a unicode system soon.
At the moment we have a non unicode R/3 Rel. 4.7 Enterprise.
My questions are:
1. Are there patches that upgrade the non unicode R/3 Rel. 4.7 Enterprise to the unicode R/3 Rel. 4.7 Enterprise?
2. Should we better upgrade it to ECC 6.0? What is the effort here?
Any suggestions/responses would be very appreciated.
Thanks
HW

There cant be patches because the data must be converted from a certain code page to unicode.

Urgent SQL question : how to flip vertical row values to horizontal ?

Hello, Oracle people !
I have an urgent SQL question : (simple for you)
using SELECT statement, how to convert vertical row values to horizontal ?
For example :
(Given result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1
K. Smith ...............1
K. Smith ........................1
(Needed result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1 .......1 .......1
I know you can, just don't remeber how and can't find exactly answer I'm looking for. Probably using some analytic SQL function (CAST OVER, PARTITION BY, etc.)
Please Help !!!
Thanx !
Steve.

Urgent 508 Question!

The only thing i need to do is add a title or label attribute to some of the controls.
One of the ones to begin with that i am fixing is the ADF tag af:selectBooleanRadio. When i add some text to the shortDesc field of the control, the html is produces doesn't have the title attribute.
So i tried to use the corresponding trinidad control tr:selectBooleanRadio, and add some text to the same shortDesc field for the control, and in this case it does add a title attribute in the html that it produces.
Everything else in the code works fine as well when i add the trinidad control, except for one thing. I have a ValueChangeListener that gets called when you click on another tr:selectBooleanRadio. Within that valueChangeListener event handler function, i have a bunch of code which in the end displays a af:popup. The problem i am having when using the trinidad control is that it somehow is not allowing the display of the popup even though it is going through the code that executes display of the popup. When i click on another link or button that is supposed to display a different popup as well, then the popup associated with the tr:selectBooleanRadio also displays at that time, but not originally when the value changed by selecting a different tr:selectBooleanRadio.
So, my question is, are there any other successful ways of adding a title attribute to the these controls. If its the af:selectBooleanRadio how do we make it so that the html it generates has the title attribute, or if its the tr:selectBooleanRadio, what might be happening during the event handling that it is not allowing the af:popup to display?
A quick response to this appreciated since this is very urgent! Thanks very much for your help!

JDev version is 11.1.1.5
ok, i will go one step at a time so that it is easy to understand. So i will only mention the first thing right now and then we can try other things later.
i have a af:selectBooleanRadio. After running the page/application, when the user does View Source in the browser for the page that has the radio button, it is in the form of an HTML tag <input> of type for radio button. What i want to do is to have a "title" attribute for the <input> tag for this radio button. I can use the tr:selectRadioButton trinidad control to do that, but then i have other issues with that, and we can talk about those later.
Let me know if it is still not clear.
Thanks very much for your help!

****** URGENT ****** --- Unicode support in Forms 6i

Hi,
I am using Forms 6i on Windows 2000. I have set the input locale of my OS to Hindi (Indian language) and the Keyboard layout also to the same. When I am using Forms Runtime to enter data, whatever I type is getting shown as ? (question marks). But if I type in Arabic (by setting the keyboard layout and the input locale), it is displaying the characters properly. I am using Arial MS Unicode font. I tried copying the character from character map and pasted it in the input box in Forms Runtime. Then it is allowing correctly. My NLS_LANG on the client side is American_America.UTF8 and the database character set is also UTF8.
Can somebody say how to implement this?
Thanks

URGENT : Challenge questions query: Oracle Access Manager 10g

Hi all,
This is a query regarding password challenge questions in Oracle Access Manager 10g. We have created password policies for a specific container in OID (say cn=xxx,cn=users,dc=oracle,dc=com) and it is working fine.
In order to exclude certain set of users (say user ABC ) for password policies, we have set the obpasswordchangeflag to false for those users which are in same container for which password policy is created.
When we try to login to the application with the user say ABC, I am not seeing any reset password page - I am happy till this point. However it is showing Configure Challenge questions page. Is there any way to bypass this page? Or is this the expected behavior?
This is very urgent and prompt reply is very much appreciated.
-Mahendra

Hi Mahendra,
This is expected behaviour. In order to exclude the password policy management for some certains user for particular domain/container. please add the below configuration parameter to your OAM10g password policy.
Password Policy Filter Field (!(|(cn=xxx)(cn=abc)))

Another Hex to Unicode Question

public static void main(String[] args) {
      char ch = (char)Integer.parseInt("672c",16);
      System.out.println(ch);
      System.out.println("木"); //Character meant to show up in Hex - > Unicode print
}According to the other questions and answers that I've read on the forum about changing a string hex into its equivalent Unicode character, what I have there should work. But it doesn't.
I'm not sure if it'll be visible to everyone, but the second println() statement is the character that should be represented from the hex, but when I run the program in console the 1st print statement (Hex-> Unicode) outputs a "?" but the second works fine outputing exactly what I put it as.
Is this a charset problem?
Thanks

By default most consoles print a very timited subset of the available unicode character set. You will have to make sure that they (the consoles) use a font capable of displaying the unicode characters that you wish to display. Since I have never had to do this I can't help you here but the following Swing example shows how it might be done in a Swing or AWT application.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Fred503 extends JPanel
    public Fred503()
        super(new GridLayout(0,2));
        char ch = (char)Integer.parseInt("672c",16);
        String[] fontNames =
            "Kochi Gothic",
            "Kochi Mincho",
            "Baekmuk Dotum",
            "Baekmuk Batang",
            "Baekmuk Gulim",
            "AR PL SungtiL GB",
            "AR PL KaitiM Big5",
            "AR PL KaitiM GB",
        for (int fontIndex = 0; fontIndex < fontNames.length; fontIndex++)
            JLabel label = new JLabel(fontNames[fontIndex] + " : ", JLabel.RIGHT);
            add(label);
            label = new JLabel(Character.toString(ch));
            label.setFont(new Font(fontNames[fontIndex], Font.PLAIN, 20));
            add(label);
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Fred503");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(new Fred503());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}

Help please - urgent exam question

I'm having difficulty with the following question for an OU exam:
You will now create a method to enable students to make a list of the books they have read, whether they are on the course�s reading list or not.
Add an instance method to the class, with the header: public Set<String> collectBooksRead()
The method should first declare a local variable of type Set called readBooks capable of holding a set of strings.
The method should then assign to that variable an appropriate set object.
The method should then use a dialogue box to collect the book titles one at a time from the user.
The dialogue box should have the prompt "Please input a book title or * to finish", and should have an empty string as its default reply.
Each entered book title should be added to the set referenced by the local variable readBooks. Finally the method should return readBooks as the message answer.
Here's my code so far but it endlessly loops and I'm unsure how to make it stop.
public Set<String> collectBooksRead()
Set<String> readBooks = new HashSet<String>();
String title;
do
title = OUDialog.request("Please input a book title or * to finish",""); //OUDialog.request displays an input dialogue box as specified by a superclass
readBooks.add(title);
while
(title != "*");
}

Very urgent BPS questions

hey pals,
I have couple of doubts which are very urgent to be clarified.
1.how to debug the code in fox editor?
2.can we use transactional infocubes in bps?
3.can we use multiprovider for planning?
4.how to fine tune the standard planning functions provided by sap?
5.when exit variables are used?
I need these answers asap.Anyone with suitable answer will be rewarded immediately.Thank you.
Regards,
Rags

1.how to debug the code in fox editor?
     use break-point in FOX code
2.can we use transactional infocubes in bps?
     yes. Transactional cubes are meant for only BPS.
3.can we use multiprovider for planning?
   Yes. multiproviders can be used both in basic planning area as well as multi planning area.
4.how to fine tune the standard planning functions provided by sap?
   these are not recommended. But, create exit & FOX functions to meet your requirements.
5.when exit variables are used?
   If variable1 needs to be derived from variable2. (in which, end user fills only variable2).

NW 7.3 vs Unicode - Question for SAP

Hi,
Is it true that we have to convert to Unicode before we start the upgrade for NW BW 7.3?
Please confirm.
Regards,
SC

If your system is MDMP yes you will have to, but if your system is non-unicode single code-page system - till date SAP just mentions that a upgrade to SCP non-unicode is possible until SAP NW 7.0 EhP1 but is not recommended. Check this sap note for further details:
73606 - Supported Languages and Code Pages
Nothing is yet out for SAP NW 7.3.

Urgent SSL questions

Why in the name of God don't you post this sample code here in the newsgroup so everyone can see it instead of just emailing it to a single individual? Can you please post it?

Yes, you can. You need to set up some extra environment parameters to
do this, which unfortunately aren't well-documented in 4.5. I'll send
you a code example that should clarify things.

You need at least 4.5.1sp5. This functionality was documented as
working in earlier 4.5 releases, but embarrassingly enough for us, it
didn't.

I don't know; I've never used NCS. However, if NCS can spit out
certificates in X.509 format, using either DER or PEM encoding, then
you should have no problems.
b> Where can I find code samples for doing what I want to do?
If you're using a Java client, we actually don't ship any useful
examples of two-way SSL authentication with WLS 4.5.x. However, I'll
mail you a copy of an example program from Denali beta 2 which should
work with a 4.5.x server.
b> The "Using Weblogic SSL" page is not too useful for implementation
b> details.
I know. We've worked to beef the documentation up for Denali. As you
can imagine, since we documented two-way SSL authentication as working
in 4.5 but never really got any complaints from customers about the
fact that it was broken (I just happened to notice it myself), it's
not a feature that has seen much use yet. I apologise for the
roughness around the edges so far; I hope this information helps you
to find out what you need.
When Denali beta 2 comes out, you might want to download it and look
at its expanded support for two-way SSL authentication. It's really
quite a bit more useful than 4.5 in this regard.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Unicode question (# in file)

Hi,
I am uploading a file with GUI_UPLOAD and downloading this file again on the SAP Server with OPEN DATASET IN BINARY MODE / TRANSFER / CLOSEDATA SET on a UNICODE system.
When I look in AL11 to the downloaded file I see a lot of # (#<#?#x#m#l# #v#e#r#s#i#o#n#=#"#1#.#0#"#?#>#<#L#I#S#T# ...) (In HEX it shows 00)
I have to do some conversions with this file, but the # will still be in the file.
How can I get rid of these signs??
Ron

Hello Ron,
The hash/pound signs (#) that you see are just the way that special characters (like tabs) are displayed in the SAP GUI (as it does not cater for all special characters).
Before you do anything else, just take a look at the file on the server (I assume you are running on some UNIX variant). Telnet to the server, and display the file using cat or more or vi. Better yet, ftp the file back to your workstation and open it to see if any harmful conversion occurred when you transferred it to the server.

Urgent Reset Question--??? --Help???

I know if I reset my Ipod to correct a Problem I will lose all my Music. My Question is will all my library of songs reload, or will I have to re-buy all my music?
Thanks for your help!

Resetting the iPod does not affect the contents, you are confusing it with restoring the iPod.

Urgent - general question - cursor related, maybe?

Background:
I have a hierarchy of tables say A,B,C, each having a one to many relationship (A 1..n B 1..n C). I want to set one of the columns of A to a value of the primary key of one of the rows of B or C. The logic that I need to set the value in A is as follows:
If one of the rows in B has one of the several columns = NULL(start with the column on the left and keep going to the right) then I need to set the primary for that row in B to the column in A.
If all columns in all the rows in B <> NULL, then I need to drill down deeper into table C to do the same and set the Column in Table A to a value if I find a discrepnacy.
Question:
Is it possible to do this without using cursors? My boss thinks it can be done without using cursors. I don't see how it is possible. But if anyone has an idea please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
