User defined attributes - usages

Hi,
I would like to hear how other OA developers have used user defined attributes for an item, if they have used it. I would appreciate if you could share that information.
As for me, I used it for items (messagetextinput, choice etc) in my custom search region to assign attribute names to these items to know what the values given by the user should be associated with and searched for. I had to create a custom search region since query region from oaf didn't allow to associate more than on VO to it.
I just want to see what other purposes others have used the user defined attributes to get a better understanding of it.
Thank you,
Arun

Limitations of User Defined attributes in USR.

11.1.1.3
I added a notes field to the user defined fields of a user, customer wanted a textarea to makes notes in reagarding the user in question.
Can someone tell me where the limitations of these fields are listed?
I added a large textfield and the system happily accepted the size and made a clob in the db.
I have added the permissions in the policy to make it visible in create as well as in view and modify, all that works fine.
However, when I modify the field by simply writing a small note in it....
I save the change, no exceptions, no error whatsoever
the correct data gets into the clob field in the USR table
but the text area in the user view show the entity object name and reference/instance instead...
i.e.
i add the text "test" into the text area, press save
the fields then shows me...
weblogic.jdbc.wrapper.Clob_oracle_sql_CLOB@65e1
So, I am looking for where this limitation is mentioned in the manuals or trying to find out if its a bug.
Reason I am wondering is because there is a field (USR.USR_NOTE) in the DB which is a CLOB but I cant
find any reference to that in the User Configuration, i.e. what does the system use it for?
So, if there is a limitation on the size of fields in the User Configuration, where can I see them?
I looked in the System and developer manuals and I see nothing on that there.
What is the maximum and where can I see that defined?

Hi,
I dont know the solution for this, but heres a work arround
//create new label some where else in the excel sheet as shown below
Label lblcmbdata;
for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
             lblcmbdata = new Label(75, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
             sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
}//set the validation range as shown below
writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange(75,0,75,1000);
Label cmb = null;
cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
sheet.addCell(cmb);this will create a combo list with 1000 values
also you can keep the data to be populated in the different sheet in same workbook by creating a named range as below
workbook.addNameArea("cmbdata", sheet1, 0, 0, 0, 1000);
// then fill the data in sheet1
Label lblcmbdata;
for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
                lblcmbdata = new Label(0, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
                sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
//set the validation named range as below
writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange("cmbdata");
Label cmb = null;
cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
sheet.addCell(cmb);Thanks and Regards

How to retrieve user defined attributes in Prepopulating a request dataset

Hi,
I have created couple of user defined attributes in user profile.
And I am tryting to develop a prepopulate adapter in a request dataset for a resource. I need to prepopulate request dataset based on the values of above said user defined attributes.
I tried to use tcResultSet result=UserOppsIntf.getSelfProfile(); in my pre-populate adapter but it is giving me only the following attributes and it is not giving any of my user defined attributes.
Users.Manager Key
Users.Manager Login
Users.Manager First Name
Users.Manager Last Name
Users.Password Warning Date
usr_locale
Users.Key
Users.Password Expired
Users.Middle Name
Users.User ID
Users.Password Expiration Date
Users.Status
Users.Password Warned
Users.Email
Telephone Number
Users.Display Name
usr_timezone
Users.Lock User
Users.Last Name
Users.First Name
MEMBERTYPE
If I use the code userData = usrService.getDetails("User Login", RequesterID, null); then I am getting only the following.
Display Name:
act_key:
Full Name:
usr_key:
User Login:
Last Name:
First Name:
Please let me know how to retrieve all of user defined attribute values in prepopulate adapter for a request dataset.

Use below code to get all attributes in user profile including UDF.
OIMInternalClient objOimInternalClient = null;
User user = null;
          UserManager usrService = null;
objOimInternalClient = new OIMInternalClient();
          if (objOimInternalClient != null) {
                    try {
                         objOimInternalClient.loginAsAdmin();
                         usrService = objOimInternalClient
                                   .getService(UserManager.class);
                         user = usrService.getDetails("usr_key", strUserKey, null);
                         endDate = (Date) user.getAttribute("End Date");
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
                    } finally {
                         if (objOimInternalClient != null)
                              objOimInternalClient.logout();
                         if (user != null)
                              user = null;
                         if (usrService != null)
                              usrService = null;
In order to see all UDF's in User profile, please create Authorization Policy.

LDAP search cannot find entry by user "defined attribute" or "sounds like

Hi, I have an JSP program that searches an LDAP Sun One Directory Server.
All of my search filters ( by givenname,sn,mail and phone #) work fine with the search base set at the very top (root ) of my DIT tree.
However with the same search base, searching by an "User Defined Attribute" fails to return anything (and note that my search filter includes the objectclass that goes with this user defined attribute)?
Yet, if I change the search base so it points all the way down the DIT tree (maybe near RDN?), the "User Defined Attribute" search works fine ?
Additionally, "sounds like" search filter (givenname~=) fails to find anything at
the upper root search base of DIT. If I change the search base to point down in the DIT tree as I did above, the "sounds like" filter will work?
I've tried everything I know?

User Defined Attributes

Hi All,
I wanted few information on User defined attributes in Projects. It would be of great help if I get few suggestions.
I wanted to add few fields to the Update task progress screen. How can I add these field as there is no specific page layout exist for this page. Do I need to use OA Framework to achieve the same? If Yes, how can we modify these seeded pages?
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Srini.

UDA can be added to project/task/classification. We can not modify the Update Task Progress form using UDA. If the changes are minimal then you can go for personalization or modify the sources as per OAF standards.

User Defined Attributes in Tree List

Does anyone know what the User Defined Attributes is used for in the tree list (when in Create / Edit List Entry screen)?
I'm trying to put a title tag on my list entries so I get a tooltip when hovering the mouse over each entry and thought this might be the way to do it.
If not then User Defined Attributes sounds like it could be useful anyway but I can't find any documentation on what it does.

BP User Defined Attributes -- Error

Hi experts!!
The customer i am working on needed some extra fields on the Accounts screen page, so i defined all User Defiened Attributes from 1 to 10 and added them from the Node MARKETING of the component BP_HEAD.
When i try to save the Account (after filling one of the attributes) I get the following error msg: Classification data is already maintained for business partner.
The Account can be saved and replicated to the ERP if the attributes remain empty.
What am i missing here???
Is there a connection between the attributes and account classification ??
Thank you in advance

The error was fixed with Note 1271004.
BUT .. now when i Save the Account with User Defined Attributes filled the replication to ERP does not happen..
If the attributes are empty it gets replicated.
Any ideas???
Please help!!

User defined attributes for use with personalization

Hello,
I have a stand alone region that works correctly and is able to be added to seeded pages via personalization. I would like to allow the personalization to define the value of a user defined attribute when the personalization is added to the page. However I do not see any user defined attributes in the list when I add the region via personalization.
Has anyone ever done this before?

If you are not drawing this in an JEditorPane, but just with DrawText, you will have to split the text up your self, draw the first half, then switch colors, then draw the second half.

User defined field usage

Hi, we have a user defined field in our item master data. It's for a link to a pdf on one of our servers. I can enter a URL into this field and when I double click it, the pdf loads. This is what we want. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to clear or change the value of the field. If I click the field it does nothing or if I double click it opens the document. If I right click one of the options is "Cancel" but I'm terrified of cancelling the entire item.
How do I manage the value of this field?
Thanks!

User defined table usage

Dear Experts,
I would appriciate your advice on the sales budget screen that I am currently woking on.
the screen contains a matrix with a cfl on the product group column and a couple of columns stand for sale figures for each month.
this screen will be called form the BP form. so i would pass the selected BP code to my form.
I am not sure whether a user defined table is the answer to this job.
if i add productGroup,productCode,cardcode,Jan,Feb, ... user defined fields to this table then the system will add Code and Name fields automatically to this table, if the userdeined table is the right way to go for this job, what values i should held for the code and name fields considering both of these fields are stand alone primary key fields.
Many thanks.
Maryam.

I usually load the same value into both fields, but since the code field is only eight bytes its kind of limiting. If you don't have any information to load in the table that would be unique, like a date or year field, (or your product code if its less than 9 bytes & will be unique) then a sequential number works fine. There are threads on this forum that show different ways to do it, but one way is basically to select max(code) from the table, convert the value to numeric, add one to it and then use it as the value for both fields.
Here's a link to a thread I posted with some code on the specifics of assigning the next sequential number as code and name:

Migrating UDAs (User Defined Attributes)

Is it possible to migrate Attribute Groups defined in PIM & Customer Hub modules in Oracle EBS Release 12.1.1? If not provided out of the box, is there a recommended process to build custom objects/APIs and integrate them into iSetup?
Thanks for your help!

Can you let me know how to achieve it through FNDLOAD and what is the LCT file i have use.
Please provide me some example on this.

Re: user-defined attribute

Dear all,
I want to know whether I can add some customized attributes for our own application to the users in Sun One Directory Server.
Thanks!
Joe

Yes.
First, check the schema supplied with your directory server - perhaps there are existing attributes you could use. Next, create your attributes. You can use the console for this, or copy existing schema definitions. Add these attributes to your directory. Next, create your objectclass. I would recommend creating an AUXILIARY objectclass instead of a STRUCTURAL - it's easier to "mix in" with existing entries. Then, use an ldapmodify operation to add your new objectclass to the entries. Then you should be able to use ldapmodify to add your new attributes.
You must add things in the above order or you will get schema violations - attributes must exist in the schema before the objectclass definition can refer to them, and the entry must have the objectclass before you can add attributes of that objectclass.
