Hi Nick, brilliant! Yes, this is the “missing link”. But you know, there is a saying in german: “Der Appetit kommt beim Essen!” ( Appetite comes with eating ) Now I know the connection between View and “Frame”. Is there a connection between navigation tree and Frame / GUI visible in ORACLE as well? What I’m planning to do: A compendium with all the navigation tree parts down to the last level with single data mask like customer or inventorypart or multi data “masks” like customerinvoicelines. Then imagine a list of known Quickreports organised within this compendium! I can imagine this must be some tool for all colleages creating QRs. But nevertheless: great answer and fun trying out. Thanks again!!! All the best Michael
Hi Binura, thanks for your answer and you are right: :-) I now about the strict way creating a QR! To change it, you must replace the view(s). I don’t have any problem with that. No quiet simply: Somebody shows me a ORACLE SQL script (could be a QR script but could be something else) What I’m asking for, is an elegant way to “know” from the given view which is the correspondig GUI mask. e.g: (rechercherd by debug console) CUST_ORDER_INV_HEAD_UIV_ALL → CustomerInvoice (single mask) CUSTOMER_ORDER_INV_JOIN → CustomerInvoiceLines (Overview mask) To go this way is very simple but boring and a lot of work to do. To get a list of all mask with the underlying structures “fetched” by the application is just days and days of stupid work. So because I’m thinking about a “compendium” for BI experts where you just enter the VIEW-Name and the documentation gives you information in which masks this view is used therefore I’m asking for “the other way around” :-) best regards Michael
Hi Marcelle, you are very kind! Do you believe in past lives? I didn’t believe in pastlives my last past live already! :-) So who knows, perhaps I lived more than 5 lives already? Do you know about the Debug Console? Shift+Ctrl+D. I work with this tool every day and “listen” to the commands the GUI is sending to the ORACLE database. Even when you are not familiar with databases, views and tables just think about the knowledge you gain, when you know what happens when you search for a customer, an order or you start a task with a rigth mouse button (RMB) task. You start to get a bigger view about the system and the way things correspond. At least it helps to ask better questions. I’m looking forward to hear about your questions and promise: There will be a lot of first “I don’t have any idea but…. very interesting question!” All the best, happy new year and if you want, just tell me more about you. regards Michael
Hi Everyone, my name is Michael Kaiser and I worked for IFS Germany from 1999 to 2001. On the very first day - in these days the fair “Systems” in munich was still very important - my swedish colleage gave me call from munich and told me: “Michael, we do not have anybody around who could show CRM (formerly known as IFS Sales & Marketing) and BI (in this times cognos series 7). Now you got your two new babies!!!” Zoooooom, from this day on, I was the specialist for these two modules and a very happy father. Within some months I digged deeper and deeper especially into BI because it was more fascinating than every other area I came across the 10 years before that. In 2001 I left IFS and did some CRM and some cognos BI projects mainly on IFS basis. We created STAS Control and were very focused on IFS customers. Within 2002 private and business turmoils happened. I got divorced, changed my flat and changed from cognos to Microsoft. Don’t ask me what was the bigger deal! From 2002 to th
