1 :: Explain Difference between onRow and Onread method?
OnRead( ) – can manufacture data based on values in the fetched datarow
OnRow( ) – extracts requested data from the datarow object; normally just used to obtain a value for the ValExp but may access all values in a datarow
OnRow( ) – extracts requested data from the datarow object; normally just used to obtain a value for the ValExp but may access all values in a datarow
2 :: How do we have left -right flow , normally its top-down flow?
It is for right to left. Reverse logic has to implement for
left to right
------------------------------------
First Define one gobal variable(g_rw_wdth) as double,
Static, publice.
And now assume that in a frame you have got two dynamic
text.
Now in 1st text box onRow method write following code:
g_rw_wdth = 0
IF ISNULL(row.getvalue("field1")) then
g_rw_wdth = g_rw_wdth + (me.size.width/1440)
end if
Now in 2ndtext box onRow method write following code:
IF ISNULL(row.getvalue("field2")) then
g_rw_wdth = g_rw_wdth + (me.size.width/1440)
else
Me.Position.X = Me.Position.X - (g_rw_wdth * OneInch)
end if
In these fashion you can have more dynamic text.
Now if 1st text box the value is null automatically the 2nd
text box will shift to place 1st text box.
And so on.

3 :: What property you use to Hide a control at runtime?
We can use finish method to hide a control at runtime.
4 :: We had a number of reports scheduled to run at various times. This worked fine for at least a year, now it is the second time round we lost all the scheduled jobs, with no apparent reason we can find. Any ideas?
You have lost all Scheduled jobs list because you had
cleared all history from completed reports section from
management console,
So pls remember before deleting history from completed
section remove the check mark of SCHEDULES and then clear
history.
Since you can't recover scheduled jobs So next time
whenever you Schedule the job copy the location and job
name and save it to Excel or text file.

Set Control1 = me.getControl("MyControl") ''name of control
Control1.BackgroundColor= Blue
OR
BackgroundColor = RGB(180, 225, 228)
override start
me.BackgroundColor = skyBLUE
OR
BackgroundColor = RGB(180, 225, 228)

6 :: What is AFC? Where we Use AFC in Actuate?
AFC Actuate foundation class designed to hold an ordered
collection of objects.
All the commonly used components in the AFC library have
been extended in to the sssiebel library.
Sssiebel.rol known as the Siebel library. It is derived
from afc.rol and contains all the base classes for the
sscustom library.
The use of a component from the AFC library, rather than
the sscustom library, is an
exceptional situation and applies only to detail charts.
AFC components should not be used
directly in Siebel reports except in this specific
situation.
