Using & in a static domain for validation

JHeadstart 10.1.3.2.52
I've setup a domain Type with the following list
ABC
CCC
A&B
I actually need to have the & inserted into the database (Yes, I know who the heck decided to put a special character in a string... It wasn't me)
I've tried A&B
A\&B
A&ampB
A&#38B
but not have escaped the & correctly.

Yes, I've tried A&B. However when I assign the domain to a page and run it I get the following errors:
Error(166,55): Expected ';'.
Error(166,55); Missing entity 'B'.
Here is the offending code.
 <af:selectItem id="SiQsTransferCallType1" value="A&B" label="A&B"/>

 <af:selectItem id="SiTransferCallType1" value="A&B" label="A&B"/>

I can make the label whatever I want but the value must be A&B.

Lion Server 10.7.4 VPN service not using my Active Directory domain for authentication

I have Lion Server 10.7.4 setup on a Mac Mini and I have enabled the VPN service for both L2TP and PPTP. The Mac Mini is joined to my Windows Domain at a functional level of Server 2008 R2. I have set the authentication paths to point to my domain in Directory Utility.
What I would like to have happen is for my laptop to be able to VPN into my office network remotely using domain credentials and not local account credentials on the Mac Mini itself. This is a process I have done numerous times on Windows boxes, but for some reason the only way I can get the VPN to work on this instance of Lion Server 10.7.4 is by authenticating using local accounts only.
Does Lion Server 10.7.4 only authenticate VPN users based on it's local account schema? Or can it truly authenticate against an active directory domain?
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Hi g-pirtle,
Yes, I had already done that a few days ago. I was able to add the desired AD group to the allowed users/groups for the VPN service. Thats exactly what is so weird about this...it allows me to search for and add an AD user or group to the list of allowed users/groups, but then when I actually try to use a domain account to authenticate to the VPN is just gives me the "cannot authenticate" error. Very strange.
I wondered if for some reason Apple is only allowing local accounts to be authenticated against. Sounds crazy, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I also wondered if Kerberizing the server would help, but when I go to join a Kerberos realm in Open Directory inside of Server Admin, it just has no realm listed in the drop down menu.
Other than that, all other aspects of the Mac Mini being joined to the AD domain seems to be good. I'm really stumped here...
Thanks again,

How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

Hi,
I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
paddu.

In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
Use
This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
hidden entry processing
fill hidden fields
flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
Realization
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
internal table TOTAL
field symbols
field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.

What is the most appropriate way to generate a static IPv6 for a domain controller?

DNS Role Best practives is giving errors. Looks like I need to assign ONE static IPv6 to each domain controller and use IT in DNS and DHCP. There are two routers on the network, each assigning a 2002: IP, plus a link local FE80: IP is also assigned.
Is there a way to generate a static IPv6 for domain controllers that will not change even if the network cards or routers are changed?
What is the best practice so that domain integrated DNS and DHCP with Exchange 2010 in the domain, will continue to function?
There is ambiguous information as to whether DC's should have static or dynamic IPv6 IPs. I have tried variations such as IPv4 compatible. IPv4 mapped, ISATAP, etc. but over time have gotten different errors from different sources.
It is one thing for Microsoft to give error messages about IPv6 but I cannot find any definitive recommednations on this.
Thanks if anyone finds a universal answer.
Bob.

Excellent and valid points, Bob. Your outlook explains in an easy way how the challenges setting up Windows Server are in a sense, self-generated, and in every sense fully avoidable.
No changes have been made to the warnings or errors in 2013 R2 despite improvements in other areas. This release mainly brought improvements to the setup in areas that were truly broken like automatic account generation for ADFS. Since that's a decade old
feature it's probably best not to wait for Microsoft to clarify, and I appreciate your recommendations.
I'm bumping this thread since it's the first result for 192.168.1.1 on ipv6 on Google right now, and since there's no way to see how often it's being referenced I wanted to add some additional information.
Multiple NIC's can be specified by using the scope ID parameter supported since Vista, that appears as a percent-sign at the end of IPv6 addresses. It uniquely identifies the network adapter even when that adapter shares the same host portion of the IPv6
address space (i.e. essentially, has the same IP, which in IPv4 is invalid.) I'll give some examples at the end of the post.
Following the recommendation to deprecate the fec0 prefix while maintaining a link-local addressing scheme is possible through the prefix length at the beginning of the IPv6 address. As
this reference at IBM explains, fe80:: maps to a link-local prefix length of 64 equivalent to the IPv4 version of 24, and anything else before the double-colon refers to the network portion of the IPv6 address.
The host portion of the IP address then _could_ be ::20, ::21, etc., as you said, but to follow
this MSDN recommendation, it would be more appropriate to use the same host portion and add a suffix for the scope ID documented on that page. The suffix may be specific to Windows
and may not work in an equivalent way in heterogeneous platform deployments. But since the effect is limited to the local machine it should help anything past XP differentiate NICs when assigned the same host portion.
The approach taken in the random IPv6 generator linked elsewhere on this page leaves open the possibility, however unlikely, that the generated IP can route to some other host on an open network that happens to have generated the same network portion of
the address (the other host would be sharing the same network.) If any part should be random, it's the host portion after the double-colon, not the network portion at the beginning, so that the possibility does not exist.
Additionally, the host portion doesn't have to be random, it's just done that way because it's usually automatically generated; a random number is safer for a computer than relying on a sequence that may not fully cover all the numbers used so far. If you're
doing a manual deployment you can combine the above information with the inline 0-supression in IPv6 to assign numbers in the following way:
fe80::1:1%1 (first computer is 1:1, first interface is %1)
fe80::1:1%2 (second interface)
fe80::1:2%1 (second computer, first interface)
Effectively here we're swapping "192.168.1" for "fe80::1" which is roughly the same length (taking into account variations like 10.0.0). The only gotcha is that _either_ the string after the double-colon can't be 1 by itself since that's
reserved for local machine loopback, _or_ that the second-to-last number after the double-colons can't be 0, since that's equivalent due to inline supression.
Other combinations are fine, like fe80::2%1 and fe80::2%2 for the first computer, then ::3 for the second, etc. I thought having a 2-index for the first machine is too uncommon to look familiar so I chose the alternative, but even something like fe80::fe%80
is perfectly fine.
If you don't need to identify individual NICs then omitting the part after the percent sign makes fe80::10, fe80::11 a valid sequence for 2 computers. For over 255 computers just add another number before the last, so that it looks like fe80::1:10, fe80::1:11,
etc. That should be easier to remember than the randomly generated numbers.
There is also another way if the preference is to use IPv4-lookalike addresses. The mapped address spec is defined in RFC 4291 and it goes along the lines of "::ffff:192.168.1.1" for a valid IPv6 address to the gateway, for example. That is a newer
recommendation than the RFC which the random-number generated linked elsewhere on this page relies on.

Stop using static domain controller

How do I remove the static domain controller used by Exchange? I need it to talk to all the domain controllers on our network. Each time the single DC that it looks to goes down, no one can access the Exchange server.

Hi rudnicke,
Thank you for your question.
We could run the following command to stop using static domain controller:
Set-ExchangeServer -Identity 'servername' -StaticConfigDomainController $null -StaticDomainControllers $null -StaticGlobalCatalogs $null
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

I restore my iPhone 4S on iTunes and then when restarted it is asking for valid SIM card and I don't have SIM card for that, I was just using the iPhone with wifi, any one can help? Please.

I restore my iPhone 4S on iTunes after the restore was completed the iPhone was restarted and now asking for valid SIM card which I didn't,t have and I was using the iPhone with wifi, and now can't use it because the screen is locked for SIM card. Can anyone help me please.

Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

Problem in using LOV for validation-JHS 10.1.3

Hi all,
This problem was also noticed by Phil McDermott (Problem in using LOV for validation-JHS 10.1.3
I am following the demo and I noticed that the Use LOV for Validation functionality does not work on the browse page. However, it does work on the details page!
Another effect of this problem is that once you tried to validate on the browse screen, the lov button does not work anymore.
Thanks, Joep
Just found out that is does not work when entering "ph" like suggested in the tutorial. When I enter "p" and then tab to the next field, the lov popup does show.

How to use the dynamical or static variable for ESSBASE cube name?

Hi Experts,
When I import ESSBASE Cube into physical layer, the cube name from ESSBASE is created automatically, such as H_Sales.
I want to use the the static or dynamical variable for replacing the external name. So I try to create the static variable in RPD,such as cubeName, and use the following code
'VALUEOF(cubeName)' into the textbox of external name.
However, when I view the report in answer, it will generate the error message: Database VALUEOF(cubeName) does not exist.
Is it possible to implement this functionality?
Thanks..

Hi,
use <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("D")%>
D as parameter if it is the Data Schema or W if you need the schema from Work Schema
Your command will be like:
select <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("D")%>.GER_LOT_EXEC_ODI('Fluxo', 1, 'C') FROM DUAL
Works?

Problem in using View Object for validation

Hi,
I have defined a simple swing form to practice. It has one Entity Object and two View objects. One of these view objects is an updatable VO based on the EO and the other one has a simple "select count(*)" from a table. I defined a method validation on one of the EO attributes to see how can i use the VO for validation. On the other hand i defined the Application Module to use both of my views. As far as i undrestood, when i define a VO for AM, the AM will instantiate it the first time it starts running. Here is the code inside the method validation for FirstName attribute:
/**Validation method for FirstName
public boolean validateFirstName(String data) {
ViewObject vo = getDBTransaction().getRootApplicationModule().findViewObject("CountEmployeeInstance");
if (vo == null) {
System.out.println("vo is null");
else {
vo.executeQuery();
if (vo.hasNext()){
System.out.println("count = " + ((CountEmployeeRowImpl) vo.next()).getCount());
else {
System.out.println("vo has no next");
return true;
The problem is that vo.executeQuery() does not return any record. In fact the vo.hasNext() returns false and i get the message "vo has no next" on the console. Please pay attention that the VO's sql statement is SELECT COUNT(*) and it always returns a record. I found that if i use vo.closeRowSet() before vo.executeQuery() everything works fine.
Please tell me that what is my problem and why is it working like this?
Best Regards,
Alireza Vali

Chris,
1- Every thing is fine with the ADF model layer in this practice. I have tested it by using Test option on AM and it works. It works exactly the same as how it works throug swing UI that i use for it.
2- The VO is beeing found and as you see in the code, i have tested it by "if (vo == null)" just after the statement which finds it and vo is not null which means it has been instantiated by AM as it was supposed to.
3- The VO's SQL statement is "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMPLOYEE" with no where clause. I have 14 records in this table.
Every thing is OK with swing form. It runs and shows the records and all the binded operations like "next record", "previous record" and so on work perfectly on the records.
4- The code i used is a combination of two examples. Example 9-7 and 9-8 in pages 9-12 and 9-13 of mentioned document.
Now my findings:
I changed the code to the following:
    /**Validation method for FirstName
    public boolean validateFirstName(String data) {
        ViewObject vo = getDBTransaction().getRootApplicationModule().findViewObject("MaxEmployeeIdInstance");
        if (vo == null) {
            System.out.println("vo is null");
        else {
            //vo.closeRowSet();
            vo.executeQuery();
            System.out.println("Row Count = " + vo.getRowCount());
            System.out.println("Default Slot = " + vo.getCurrentRowSlot());
            vo.next();
            System.out.println("Slot after next() = " + vo.getCurrentRowSlot());
            vo.reset();
            System.out.println("Slot after reset() = " + vo.getCurrentRowSlot());
            vo.first();
            System.out.println("Slot after first() = " + vo.getCurrentRowSlot());
            vo.last();
            System.out.println("Slot after last() = " + vo.getCurrentRowSlot());
            System.out.println("----------------------");
            vo.executeQuery();
            System.out.println("Deafault index = " + vo.getCurrentRowIndex());
            vo.next();
            System.out.println("Index after next() = " + vo.getCurrentRowIndex());
            vo.reset();
            System.out.println("Index after reset() = " + vo.getCurrentRowIndex());
            vo.first();
            System.out.println("Index after first() = " + vo.getCurrentRowIndex());
            vo.last();
            System.out.println("Index after last() = " + vo.getCurrentRowIndex());
            System.out.println("Slot Before First = " + vo.SLOT_BEFORE_FIRST);
            System.out.println("Slot Beyound Last = " + vo.SLOT_BEYOND_LAST);
        return true;
    }Here are the results :
Row Count = 1
Default Slot = 0
Slot after next() = 3
Slot after reset() = 0
Slot after first() = 0
Slot after last() = 0
Deafault index = 0
Index after next() = -1
Index after reset() = 0
Index after first() = 0
Index after last() = 0
Slot Before First = 2
Slot Beyound Last = 3
As you see, after the execution of the statement "vo.executeQuery()" the The RowIterrator pointer is not pointing to the slot before the first record but it is pointing to the first record itself. And that is why the statement "if (vo.hasNext()" returns false because we just have one record and RowIterrator Index is standing on that record and there is no next record present. The very important thing is that even reset() method does not set the index to the slot before the first record and it sends it to the first record.
After that, i took the statemet "vo.closeRowSet()" out of the comment and here are the results:
Row Count = 1
Default Slot = 2
Slot after next() = 0
Slot after reset() = 2
Slot after first() = 0
Slot after last() = 0
Deafault index = -1
Index after next() = 0
Index after reset() = -1
Index after first() = 0
Index after last() = 0
Slot Before First = 2
Slot Beyond Last = 3
These are the exact things that we expected from the first. After query execution, the pointer is set to the slot before first record and the reset() method does its defined job which is sending the pointer to the slot before the the first record.
My Assumptions:
The Rowset which is created by AM is somehow different from the RowSet which you create in your program. I am absolutely sure that this functionality is not a bug but a design decission. I look at my simple program and see that when it runs, the data is queried and shown on the screen which is all done by AM by instantiating my VO and executing the query on it. AM reasonably must put the RowSet pointer on the first record and not the slot before first record. And i am sure that if i use reset() method on the shown RowSet, the pointer goes to the first record and the data on the screen does not get cleared. Whe we use vo.closeRowSet() and execute the query again, the AM made RowSet is closed and a new one is created and the new RowSet is your's not AM's so it functions as you expect.

I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

With the Nanos, you should have no problem lending them loaded with audiobooks from Librivox, etc.
As for the iPod Touches, I'm not sure the question is whether you should allow patrons to set up the device for personal accounts, but whether you can prevent them from doing so. Prepare to to a factory restore every time one is returned.

Which Function Should i use for static values for a an array[] in BPM 11g.

Hi Experts,
Please throw some light on this..
I've a requirement which is bugging me..
How do i assign a static value to a array in BPM11g in script activity. What exactly function do i need to use to assign a Static value for an Array []
I been doing like taking the business object as a Array thats fine. But how can i set a static value in BPM 11g.
Iam using BPM 11.1.1.6 version..
Regards,
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
Here's one approach, but it assumes you're comfortable with XSDs and XML.
Know this is light on detail, but without knowing what your array looks like it's the best I can do. Here's what you'd do from a high level:
1. Create an XSD that defines the structure of your array.
2. Create the XML that represents the static item you want to add to the array.
3. Create a process variable based on the XSD that defined the array.
4. Add a Script activity.
5. Open the "Implementation" tab -> click "Data Associations".
6. On the right, expand the folder under your process -> drag the XML icon in the upper right corner on the array variable -> paste your XML into the XML literal panel.
Hope this gets you going,
Dan

May I use Exception Handling for validation ?

Hello All,
Can any one know about that may i use exception handling for validation in my report program.
Please if its possible then give me some Example...
Thanks.

Hi Niraj,
Exception is not at all raised or handled in the given example.
There are so many document available in the SCN regarding OO ABAP you can read that.
As far as validation of a field ( Selection screen ) of course we can do that but I don't see any advantage more over it will make your code unnecessarily complex.

Using regular expressions for validating time fields

Similar to my problem with converting a big chunk of validation into smaller chunks of functions I am trying to use Regular Expressions to handle the validation of many, many time fields in a flexible working time sheet.
I have a set of FormCalc scripts to calculate the various values for days, hours and the gain/loss of hours over a four week period. For these scripts to work the time format must be in HH:MM.
Accessibility guidelines nix any use of message box pop ups so I wanted to get around this by having a hidden/visible field with warning text but can't get it to work.
So far I have:
var r = new RegExp(); // Create a new Regular Expression Object
r.compile ("^[00-99]:\\] + [00-59]");
var result = r.test(this.rawValue);
if (result == true){
true;
form1.flow.page.parent.part2.part2body.errorMessage.presence = "visible";
else (result == false){
false;
form1.flow.page.parent.part2.part2body.errorMessage.presence = "hidden";
Any help would be appreciated!

Date and time fields are tricky because you have to consider the formattedValue versus the rawValue. If I am going to use regular expressions to do validation I find it easier to make them text fields and ignore the time patterns (formattedValue). Something like this works (as far as my very brief testing goes) for 24 hour time where time format is HH:MM.
// form1.page1.subform1.time_::exit - (JavaScript, client)
var error = false;
form1.page1.subform1.errorMsg.rawValue = "";
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var time_ = this.rawValue;
if (time_.length != 5) {
    error = true;
else {
    var regExp = /^([01]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$/;
    if (!(regExp.test(time_))) {
      error = true;
if (error == true) {
form1.page1.subform1.errorMsg.rawValue = "The time must be in the format HH:MM where HH is 00-23 and MM is 00-59.";
form1.page1.subform1.errorMsg.presence = "visible";
