Widget Development/Developer Question -- Countdown to ZERO

Hello Widget Wizards. I have a challenge from a client (and I'm no Widget developer). Client has requested a countdown (yes, many timers and calendars, and I can't find anything like this yet). A countdown in Dollar Amounts, essentially staring from X (X being $20,000.00) and continually counting down in $100.00 increments until there are ZERO dollars.
Something to that effect. Let's say 7 digits plus decimal .00 counting down to 0 at about $100 per second. Does this make sense, sound do able.
Anyone with Widget experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Dashcode has a Countdown template that will be a good starting point.

Widget Development Question

I need help setting margins on my widget with CSS. I have messed around with the margin properties of CSS, but how do they work in a widget environment? When the CSS is in a widget, would the margin be counting from the edge of the background image? In Safari, the margin counts from the edge of the viewing window.
Please Help.
Thanks

Hi, the Apple Discussions are really meant for end users of Apple technologies, so it's usually hard to find answers to development questions here.
However, Apple does have excellent mailing lists (listservs) covering all their technologies for developers. If you post your question to "dashboard-dev" at lists.apple.com, you'll be sure to find a lot of helpful answers there. You can also try the forums at dashboardwidgets.com. Good luck!

How to install the widget development plug-in Tool -URGENT

Hi I am new to the widget development.
I have already installed the NWDS7.0 SP9 , doing the development for the webdynpro and protal .
To work on widgets i have found the pulgins in the following url in the zip format.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/100ad59a-7b6b-2a10-8ab5-e6078fa8e5b8
SAP Widget Development Tools - zip file.zip file when i unzipp this file i have got the following dirctory structure.
SAP Widget Development Tools - zip file (dir)
|---- features (dir)
|---- plugin (dir)
|---- site.xml
When i copied these whole directory in my IDE installed plugin directory
C:Program FilesSAPIDEIDE70eclipseplugins
then i restarted the my IDE . But i have nt find any prospective or plugin enable with respect to widget.
I have went through the widget development guide (SAP Enterprise widget development guide.pdf). There it is explained that download the eclipse3.3.1 and then extract the eclipse.
so it is really confusing how to proceed.
My question is , will it be possible to installed the plugins with the installed NWDS by copy the plug-in tool (when i doo that it is not working, because when we extract it is giving 3 directory's seperatly "features, plugin, site.xml". do we need to copy this way to IDE plugin directory.) If i done this it is not workng?
or
Do i need to install the Eclipse seperately to install this widget development plugin.
Please help me to setup the eclipse development setup.
Regards
Vijay

Hi JaiDeep
Thanks for the valid reply
Finally i have decided to install the CE7.1 SP 3 version.
But which version of jdk is supported by SP3 is not given at the site.
Do u have any idea, if i install the CE7.1 SP3. and then can i install the SAP widget Foundation also along with that.
This tool requireds
JAVA 1.6
SUCUDE PSE management install
In the SAP Widget foundation guide has given the steps for the installation.
But the url it has given will be going open in the SAP networkonly.
http://nvpal168.pal.sap.corp:1080/wfws/foundationWS.jnlp
What is difference in SAP Widget Foundation Installation and SAP Widget Foundation as a Standalone Application ?
How i need to proceed for the SAP Widget Foundation installation?
where do we get the SUCUDE PSE management install?
whether the CE7.1 sp3 supports the java1.6 version?
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
The newest and default version of Eclipse is Galileo which is version 3.5.x
According to the Widget development guide, widget developer tool covers Eclipse 3.3.x (Europa) and 3.4.x (Galileo).
The problem is solved by downloading one of those versions from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse and installing widget development tools.

Error while Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools

Hi All,
I have downloaded Eclipse: eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip

for Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools as an Eclipse Plug-in
I am very new to it, So I was following Step by Step procedure.
On the 16th step I am getting an error:
AP Widget Templates (0.12.0.1167) requires feature "org.eclipse.gef (3.3.0)", or equivalent.
I had download the SAP Widget Development Tools.zip file from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads?rid=/webcontent/uuid/b03b6544-c741-2a10-8999-ed04eb2b2c71

The System cannot find the file specified &
The file name or extension is too long.
I ignored them and continued the unzipping.
Please guide me as to how we can solve this error.
Ankur
Is it because I am using Eclipse 3.3.2 and not 3.3.0? If yes from where I can download Eclipse 3.3.0
Edited by: ankur malhotra on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 AM

Hi Ankur,
This happens sometimes because of the Eclipse that you use. Download the Eclipse JEE Version. When you go to eclipse.org and try to download eclipse you can do a comparision of the versions there, You download the version which supports all the web features.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/ganymeder
Check the above link you will be able to see the package details. Please download this Java IDE for EE developers and try installing the SAP widgets foundation then, If you are facing any problems in installing the plugins thru local archived site please let me know.

Sai

Looks like some problem in the eclipse version.
Refer to the last point in this link - [Error while installing SAP Widget Developer tool.zip on Eclipse Java EE IDE; which says -

Development Question Pertaining to Discoverer and Oracle Apps

Hi All,
I have a Disco Development question. First of all I am in an Oracle Apps environment.
Here is my situation. I received a specification to make sure our End User Layer has the capability to create a workbook
which has the following information in it:
1. Onhand inventory by lot information using the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Demand pegging (from the msc_demands table) associated with this onhand inventory.
3. Accounting cost information (GL_ITEM_CST information).
4. They also want more detailed item master information information (e.g. catalog descriptive element information and costing category).
Here is a solution to address this:
-Take existing inventory by lot views we have and use the the gmf_period_balances table in lieu of the mtl_onhand_quantity_details table. Within this same
view, add pegging information. This has been implemented in a development environment.
-Take existing costing views (using the component_cost_details table) and replace with the gl_item_cst.
-Take existing view associated with item detail information and make sure all catalog descriptive elements and costing category information have been added.
My next main dilemma for this problem is to address the best way to join these views in the Discoverer end user layer. Here are the approaches I see:
1. Encapsulate the item detail information with the onhand, period end with pegging view. Next, create a join with the costing view.
     pros: In my testing of this, the totalling works with extending item costing (item cost x onhand inventory).
     cons: Refresh times and scalability of this solution are concerning (consider a couple of people using this at the same time). Also, there is no nice
     way to join these two views (there is a n x m relationship between these two views). For instance, the costing calendar is used in the accounting costing
     view, and the general ledger calendar is used in the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Abandon a two or three view approach. Create an uber view which encapsulates the onhand quantity, pegging, standard costing and item detail information.
     pros: A more simpler end user experience which should then allow for the totalling to work.
     cons: Very easy for an end user to obtain a result set which is part of a cartesian product (e.g. multiple general ledger periods are included in this workbook
     with multiple costing periods). Doubtful that this workbook would be refreshable.
3. Fan trap solution which would be some variation of onhand view being joined to an item details folder which is joined to the pegging details updated.
     pros: Without too much work, I am able to get this to work, except totaling.
     cons: Totaling.
     Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the best approach.
     Thanks,
     Patrick

Hi,
Where you have complex joins I would always go for a single view. It keeps Discoverer simple and allows you to concentrate performance effort building the view. Generally you can build in conditions to stop a cartesian product.

Widget RAM usage Question

Some questions of Widgets and RAM usage:
a) when you close dashboard/widget RAM usage eventually drops to zero?
b) when you de-activate widgets, do they use any RAM even if you activate Dashboard?
c) anyone have experience with that 'turn widgets on at login' app? RAM usage?
THanks.

Hello,
As far as I know and having recently been testing on my own machines, Widgets do seem to play a pretty big role in RAM usage.
Strangely enough, I've noticed it on my G5 the most (probably because I use it more), that when Widgets are off, everything seems qiute a bit more snappy...apps launch MUCH faster, and actions take less time.
I really like Widgets for the most part, but there seem to be memory leaks the longer they're enabled, and the longer the machine is up and running.
Relaunching the dock seems to work SOME of the time...restarting seems to always work.
You can view what's going on in the Activity Monitor, located in your Utilities folder.
You can disable Widgets by this method in the Terminal:
To turn Dashboard off:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
To turn Dashboard on:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
You have to restart the Dock after making either change for it to take effect:
killall Dock
or Onyx has this ability.
After doing this I would suggest a restart just to make sure.
After doing so, launch Activity Monitor to see your free RAM.
Hope this was helpful.

Certificate Widget and Random Question Slides

I am in the process of evaluating Captivate 4. Twice now I have had an issue with using the random question slides with the certificate widget. In both cases I converted a Captivate 3 course in which the random question slides and corollary question pools had worked as they should. In both, I successfully added the certificate widget to the new course (Captivate 4) following the instructions in help.
In the first course, only one question pool would work. The others simply showed up as a blank slide. I was able to fix that by merging all the questions into the one working question pool. Wasn't the way I had wanted to randomize the questions, but it allowed me to publish the course. The certificate widget did work.
In the second course, none of the questions pools are working and the published version of the course skips right past the random questions that had been interspersed after each topic area. One again, this course had worked just fine in Captivate 3 and with Captivate 4, without the certificate widget. I do not wish to combine all the questions into one question pool. As I noted, I published the course without the widget and the questions worked just fine.
This leads me to believe that I am doing (or not doing) something when I include the widget that is causing the problem. I can't imagine what that would be, but the fact that no one else seems to have posted this issue makes me think it is something I'm doing.
I am not using an LMS. I'm publishing to .html file that resides on our LAN.
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!
Susan

Hi Peter,
A number of users (myself included) have encountered issues with the random question slide feature - some of which is due to browser cacheing. If you can spare the time please use the web address I have included below to report this issue to the Adobe Captivate team.

Oracle BAM 11g - Deployments and development questions

Hi!
I have few questions related to Oracle BAM 11g developement and deployment processes. We are going to use that together with Oracle SOA Suite 11g ( BPEL / BPM processes), and now my questions are related to development phase:
1. If we have two or more Oracle BAM developers with their own Oracle BAM server instances, and we would like to share our development work, should/can we you same database repository to share the reports, data objects?
2. How we can copy Oracle BAM Data Objects, Reports etc from one environment (dev) to other environments (test, accept test, integration test, production) ? In software deployment projects (like Spring or Grails web-projects) we have used version control system and CI to build packages to different environments etc. How is the Oracle BAM deployment process actually "planned to be" since it uses its database repository to store objects and reports ?
3. The Oracle BAM itself has nice reports etc (Oracle BAM Client) that can be used using IE browser. How if we have to show/include those reports from Oracle WebCenter Spaces ? Is it possible and how?

Hi,
Were you able to find the answer to your questions? Especially the one, showing BAM reports in Webcenter Spaces?

Sql developer: question about exporting data

Hi,
we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
select * from
select * from A where start_date = &date
) a,
select * from B where start_date = &date
) b
where a.name = b.name
Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
We solve this by making a script:
first we define the variable, then we put the query.
When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
Thanks in advance!

Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.
Regards,
K.

SQL Developer question

Hi Folks
I am using SQL Developer tool. I have a procedure with compilation errors so i can see that procedure with red X mark in SQL Developer tool.
When am clicking on the procedure it is going to the editor there i can see "code"."grants","dependencies","references","details","profiles" tabs
But i can't able to see "Errors" tab in the editor. And main thing is i didnt see any red lines in the editor for the invalid procedure
And when i recompiled that procedure it got recompiled successfully and that red x mark is vanished.
Here my question is the "Errors" tab is only appears when the procedure/function/package has errors and surprisingly i didnt see any red lines in the editor for invalid procedure (may be my proc has no errors).
ps: i have asked this question in sql developer forum but i posted here as you may work on this
Thanks
