Using webutil causes focus issues

Hello,
Many of us are familiar with the sporadic focus issue that can occur whereby you can use the keyboard to tab around a form but not the mouse. We have an existing function in our application which uses calls to Webutil functions (WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SAVE_DIALOG, WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.IS_AS_READABLE, EBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT) to mediate a CSV export of data. We've noticed, since upgrading to 10.1.2.3 and the Sun JVM, that after performing this action, the focus problems occur i.e. mouse navigation no longer works.
Has anyone else encountered this problem..? Or even better, have a suggested solution?
Regards,
James
Apps Server: Forms and Reports Server 10.1.2.3
JVM: Sun 1.6.0_14

I face this problem and finally get the the solution it is:
1- make keyboard navigable property for the blob item 'no' .
2- create any item in the block of this blob and make it navigable 'yes' and visible 'yes' and width '0' and height '0'.
and try and isa mouse navigation will work
Feel free to contact me to inquire anything .

Call a Form using Webutil from the Menu loose focus on the applet

Hello,
I have the following problem:
When calling a form using webutil from the menu the focus on the applet (I mean the Forms Application window) is lost and I have to click on the window to get back the focus on the application.
Any advice ?
Env: Forms 9i / Webutil 1.06
Rgds,
Philippe

Try to use the NO_HIDE parameter in the CALL_FORM() built-in.
Call_Form( 'the_form', NO_HIDE ) ;Or maybe, in the[b] When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the called form, return the focus to the calling form
Go_Form( Get_Application_Property( CALLING_FORM ) ) ;Francois

DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
Steps Performed:-
1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

Is there a fix for 5d ii focus issue

Hello, I just purchased the 5Dii used but the owner said the camera was working perfectly. I notice that when I take photos the photos do not look sharp. I am shooting in raw and using fast enough settings that they should be sharp. I tried different lenses and a tripod still same results when viewed at 100%. So I have been reading about the 5d ii having focus issues and was wondering if there is a fix to this problem? Also, I read that with 21 mp the photos won't look sharp in the view finder or when viewed at 100% has anyone else heard this? Any suggestions would be helpful. I am thinking I need to return the item which is a shame, I was so excited to get the 5d ii and very disappointed to be having this issue.

I don't suggest using the viewfinder to judge quality of photos -- it's too small.
There are no focus "issues" with a 5D II -- it's an excellent camera. It doesn't have the advanced focus system of the 5D III but if the focus points on your 5D II tell you that something is correctly focused then it should be correctly focused.
There are NUMEROUS things that can cause problems (none of which are defects.)
1) If you allow the camera to auto-select it's focus point, remember that the camera will always pick the focus point which can lock focus at the closest focusing distance. Suppose you're taking a photo of someone's face, but on the side of the frame there's a bush -- and that push is in far enough that one of the focus points is on the bush. The camera will focus on the bush and NOT on your subject's face. Usually you will want the camera to focus on the nearest subject, but when shooting shots with distracting elements in the frame which are closer then your intended subject, you need to pick the focus point you want the camera to use rather than allow it to auto-select the point.
2) If focusing at a particularly low focal ratio (especially at close distances) the depth of field can get REALLY thin. If you want focus on your subject's eyes -- you will need to carefully position the focus point and lock focus on your subject's eyes -- otherwise you may end up getting a focus lock on their nose (as an example) and the eyes will be slightly soft.
3) In the default "one shot" mode, the camera will focus prior to taking the shot. When focus lock is achieved the camera will stop adjusting focus. If either you or your subject move after that point, the camera will NOT re-adjust -- you'll get a soft shot. With moderate f-stops usually a small movement wont change focus distance enough to matter -- this is mostly an issue at shallow f-stops. But if shooting action where you KNOW your subject is moving and focus distance is changing, you need to use the "AI Servo" mode which continuosly updates focus.
4) Your 5D II allows you to adjust the focus accuracy of a lens. Some lenses will routinely focus just slightly in front or behind your intended focus distance. When you detect that you have a lens that does this, the camera can compensate. This adjustment requires that you set up an accurate focus test to determine if an adjustment is needed and how much. Do not attempt to make an adjustment by using regular every-day shots... use a carefully controlled focus target, tripod, etc. There's a procedure for doing this.
5) If you suspect inaccuracy with focus points (and you really need to be careful to use controlled circumstances before arriving at such a conclusion) you can test by switching to "live view" mode to see if you get different results. Live view mode does not use the phase-detect auto-focus points... it uses contrast-detection focus instead. Contrast detection is slower but in theory should be able to provide more accurate focus as long as you have a subject with some decent contrast. If live view is consistently outperforming the standard phase-detect AF mode then you may need to perform focus adjustment on your camera (this is specific to each lens you own... this is because each lens can behave differently.)
Lastly... your camera records which AF points were used when it takes a photo. This data can be displayed IF you use the Canon EOS Utility (which should have come with your camera). It'll put the familiar focus array overlaying your photo and highlight the active point(s). Just be aware that if you did a "focus and recompose" that the camera is going to report which focus point was used to lock focus but wouldn't know you recomposed the shot. If you're not recomposing and your subject distance wasn't changing then the utility should be accurate.
Incidentally, Apple's "Aperture" software also allows you to view the Canon focus point data. As far as I'm aware, this is not available in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Swing Applet - Internet Explorer - Focus issue - tool tips

Hi ,
We are using Swing applet in IE Browser , except this swing component rest of the components in the browser are HTML/DHTML components.
and we are having issue focus issue with this swing components ,
once immediately after launching the swing applet , the UI components are having some focus issue , if I bring the mouse on top of the swing UI components , we couldn't able to see the tooltips(flyover text) of those Swing UI components.
However if we click some where on the Swing applet frame , we are able to see these tooltips(flyover text) .
It looks like a kind of compatibility issue between swing and IE browser .
I am trying to find a solution for this issue , so that once after launching the applet , tooltips will work without need to click on the applet bar.
Can somebody share some thoughts on this issue??
Thanks,
Bonthu.

As a wild guess you are mixing Swing and awt components which is a big no-no and among other things can cause repainting, refreshing issues.
If you want more help then that you need to post some code that shows us what you are doing.

Sony HVRZ5U focusing issues

I have used the hvr z 5u for about 2 years and getting feedback that there are focusing issues.
Specifically, when filming a sit down interviews, the subject (usually on the left third of the frame) becomes out of focus?! I am a professional videographer with experience and trying to troubleshoot this issue. The focus on the subject is either a soft focus or general lack of focus with the focus on another part of the frame.
All that being said, I have been told this occurs in both auto focus and manual focus ?!!
I hope someone can explain what could be the cause. I am not sure if it is the distance to the subject, lighting, or another matter.
Thanks!

I would reseet the camera (reset button, top panel, beneath the LCD) and do a quick test @ 1080/60i with a fixed shutter of 1/60 and autofocus = off. Make sure you can focus through the whole zoom range and make sure that your back focus holds (focus on distant, high contrast object, zoom all the way out, then zoom back in and verify that the focus is maintained). If this checks out you can turn autofocus on and test the autofocus tracking. It should not drift/hunt too much in a sit down interview situation with a fairly static subject and not a lot going on in the frame. If you continue to see focus issues the camera may need to be sent in and evaluated by Sony.

Error message is not telling which field causing the issue!

Hello
I am developing the Adobe Interactive Form and launching this form from WebDynPro ABAP application, fine.
This form has tonns of dropdown fields, mandatory fields, greyed out fields. Fine.
I am filling the list the drop-down fields from webdynpro ABAP, but, i am filling list for only 80% of the drop-down fields, rest 20 % is not filling at all (bcz, business want to have those 20% dropd-owns on the form by thinking going further they require, this moment they dont need so they dont want to fill the lists)
Now the form is launching on the browser, fine. But when user submits it i am getting the below erro:
The Entered Value Is Not on the List of Valid Values. (I am guessing this error is talking about the DROPDOWN fields only)
I hv tonns of drop-down fields, so, its very difficult for me to go and trace each and every drop-down fielld!! But, i checked all the populated/entered values in the drop-down fields, they are all fine. Sone dropd-down fields are GREYED OUT, they are defaulted from webdynpro ABAP
Pls. let me know How can know which field/drop-down is causing this issue? Wht are the possible causes for this error? Error is not telling which fields is making issue?
How can i trace and how can i fix it, pls. let me know
Thank you

Thank you for your tips.
But, as of my knowledge every thing (case sensitive, list box entries) are fine, not sure, why am getting this error! I will double chk again.
But, thing is.... actually, i have 4 pages, depending on the logged in user, i will HIDE the pages (say, for me the 3 rd page will be hidden), i am hiding the pages by using JavaScript in the form.
So, this error is not coming if i execute/launch all the 4 pages, but, its coming if i hide any page for any user!!
By chance, do we debug to figure out which FIELD is CAUSING issue/this error?
From where this message is coming, i mean, from the SAP's JAVA stack? Wht is the message ID and #?
or is it Adobe's/Form's error?
Thank you

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

GR/IR account clearing using MR11 causing differences between FI and COPA

Hi All,
We have Costing based Profitability Analysis enabled. We are facing an issue in 3rd party drop ship orders and COPA. Cost of Goods Sold Drop Ship GL account is being charged when we use MR11 to clear GR/IR account. This is causing reconciliation issues between COPA and the General Ledger.
Does anybody know how to update COPA when we carry out GR/IR clearing using MR11. Is there a workaround?
Any clues will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ram

Hi ram
I have a couple of questions
1. Is the 100 USD of Sales order amount, the sale order value to be billed to the customer or the value of the goods to be delivered to the customer
2. You said that Gr is done for 99, but MIRO is done for 100... Is this a case of price difference?
3. you said upon customer billing, 100 is posted to COGS in COPA....How does the system gets this value, Is this the VPRS value or any thiing else?
Also, when you reply back, I would need one more info from you... Follow the following steps
1. Take the GRIR clearing document (material doc no), where in the 1 USD is posted to COGS
2. Go to table ACCTIT and enter this doc no
3. You will find the line items posted in this doc... Just check against this 1 USD line item, what is the transaction key i.e. GBB or PRD or what else?

I have 3 toolbar folders in my bookmarks library, can I delete the two I don't use without causing problems?

I recognize the two "unwanted" folders but have no idea how they got in the library. In the past year I have had two major computer crashes. The last one required a complete reformatting of my formerly partitioned hard drive. I think the file restores from my offsite back-up service somehow created the duplicate folders.

What is the title of the other bookmark folder that can not be deleted?

My macbook pro keeps freezing and shutting off when I am browsing the web on Safari. How can I figure out what is causing this issue?

For the past few weeks my computer will slow down when I have been on Safari for awhile, then freeze, and then just go black. I have to press the power button and then it goes to a black screen with the apple logo and a loading bar underneath when it reboots. I'm not sure what is causing the issue, but on my previous mac it would have an error message if something like this happened that I could submit. Any suggestions of where to start to solve this issue?
Thanks!

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Open bat file on client machine using webutil

Hi all.
I'm on devsuite 10g.
I want to run a bat file on client machine using client_host function of webutil.
I have tried first to execute the bat file with mouse double-click in order to check if it is ok, and it works.
Now I want to execute this file from my form using webutil.
Here is my code:
--> with this code I select a file from client machine
Declare
     LC$Fichier Varchar2(1000):=null ;
     PC$Filtre Varchar2(2000) := '|All files|*.*|' ;
Begin
     LC$Fichier := WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
     null,
     PC$Filtre,
     'Seleziona un file da caricare'
If LC$Fichier is not null Then
:output.apri_file := LC$Fichier ;
End if ;
End ;
--> with this code I execute the file that I have opened
declare
     cmd varchar2(30000) := null;
BEGIN
     Cmd := 'cmd /c start "" "' || :output.apri_file || '"' ;
CLIENT_HOST(cmd);
END;
When I execute my form I have this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ....folder of file opened.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance,
Fabrizio

Hi Tony.

When you say the DOS window opens for few second, is your batch file being executed?? did you see the results??
The answer in NO for both of your questions.
If I try to drag and drop the file I have error.
How can I attach an image to this post, so that you can see the error??
Thanks,
FabrizioThis seems like a directory or OS level permission issue on the batch file, What is the error you got when you tried drag and drop the batch file in an DOS window???
I think you need to upload the image to a site and use the markup for the image, include the full URL of the uploaded file between ! (exclamation marks) something like ! http://../post.gif ! without the spaces.

Execute a query using ABAP (XSLT transformation issue)

Hello,
I made the steps from this blog (part I, II and III).
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/12/05/execute-bw-query-using-abap-part-iii
When trying to run the XSLT transformation, I got the message that : XML invalid source file.
I am not sure what are the steps for running a transformation, or running it for this case ,maybe something it's not ok. I just run it, did not provide any information.
Any suggestions ? Did anyone use the function module described in this blog ?
Thank you very much in advance.

try giving
CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`)
SOURCE meta = meta_data[]
output = <ltable>[]
RESULT XML xml_out
OPTIONS xml_header = 'NO'.
and check - sometimes the codepages configured in the BW system tend to cause an issue... I am not sure if the syntax is right though - but you are basically trying to bypass any encoding that is happening in the query transformation....

Lightroom and Windows mouse focus issues.

In one aspect Lightroom have been always behaving different from other Windows application: Its speed of grabbing mouse focus and moving window to the foreground is exaggerated. This problem will be observed only by people using their WinXP computers in "X11 mode", like with Unix, what allows to perform interaction with processes associated with windows without ever clicking on, or raising such window. Should you be working on large computer clusters as I do, this focusing feature its a blessing.
This how you can reproduce: Use Tweak UI to adjust the mouse behavior. Select "Mouse," step down to "X=Mouse" and check "Activation follows mouse." Do not select "autoraise."
Now your WinXP will behave similar to the real X11 xterm with mouse having the "no raise selection" policy. Its not quite identical to xterm, but it really works perfectly in most cases.
Except... well, except with Lightroom. Lightroom grabs the pointer and pushes the window to the foreground in splits of a second. For example, go to
"Help|About Adobe Lightroom" to see the credit window. It appears than as usual, but since the help menu will be dismisses, the pointer stands on the main Lightroom window, what makes the credits window vanish in split of a second. No chance to see it!
Another case: Assume that Lightroom uses almost the entire desktop down to the task bar, and your browser window is smaller. Select the browser on the taskbar and try to move mouse to it. No chance! Lightroom will take over and pop itself to the foreground again. The only solution is to minimize Lightroom. And than sometimes something happens that Lightroom will not restore itself anymore! The "Restore" operation is grayed out, one can only Maximize it. We have reported this numerous times before.
I am aware that this problem relates only to WinXP users with X11 mouse mode, but with Lightroom reaching now a high degree of maturity, maybe we could take a look at this problem as well?

In order to overcome most of the known navigation and/or focus issues you need to be using the following:
<li>Forms 10.1.2.3 or newer (latest is 11.1.2). If/when you are using 10.1.2.3 you would also need to install patch ID 9593176 as this contains additional fixes for focus issues.
<li>JRE 1.6.0_26 or newer (latest is 1.6.0_30). The latest is always recommended as it contains the most up to date fixes for both technical issues and security issues.
Patches are only available on MyOracleSupport: http://support.oracle.com
