A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

Hi,
I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
Thanks in advane,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

Question about creating objects in Forms 6i

Hi,
I'm trying to create by code dynamic items in a form, but I don't find the way to do it, or any tutorial in the internet.
Taking a look at the Forms Help it says 'Once you create a data or control block, you can create items in that block at any time. Create items via the Object Navigator by inserting them under the desired block, or via the Layout Editor by drawing them on the desired canvas.'
Is there a way to create items and assign them to datablocks by code? something like CREATE_ITEM?
All I want is a button that inserts textboxes in a canvas, as many items as you want.
Thank you in advance

Hello,
There is no Create_item() built-in to create item at runtime.
You can create hiden item at design time then show them at runtime.
Or you can use some java code to create component at runtime.

Package and local object?

Hello Gurus,
While crating condition table(M/03), I am selecting field combinations(vend, plant, matl etc). After that, I am clicking on Generate button, it is asking me package name(pop up window). If i m avoiding that and clicking on local object, it is allowing me to create condition table.
My doubt is :
what is the use package name and local object in this context and why it is asking?

Hello,
You have to assign all the transportable development objects to any package (formerly called Development Class) and then only it becomes transportable. If you assign to $TMP package, then it will become local oject which is not transportable and no change request will be generated when your try to save the object.
Package is nothing but a logical grouping of development objects.
Thanks,

Question about creating tree

Hi, when I created a tree with an employees table, I created an entity object, association about manager foreign key, view object, and view link. There is a recursive tree to be created.
But when I just created a view object and view link to create a tree. There is just two layer. Why I can't create a recursive tree with a view object?

A question about creating READ ONLY users.

Dear all,
I have a question about read only user accounts and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. I have a schema named SCHEMA1. Whenever I want to connect by using sqlplus I run the following:
sqlplus user1/[email protected] SCHEMA1.WORLD is the entry in the tnsnames.ora referring to the schema SCHEMA1.
I need to create a read only user who is able to SELECT all tables and views created by user1 on SCHEMA1 (this user will not modifiy anything at all. The user is used only for a person using SQL queries to read data). for several tables I write the grants explicitly, for example:
CREATE USER user2 IDENTIFIED BY user2;
GRANT CREATE SESSION to user2;
GRANT SELECT ON S001_COR_ECLASS TO user2;
GRANT SELECT ON REF_ECLASS511 TO user2;Is there anyway to do the same thing but for all the tables (because there are a lot of tables and views)? Besides, even with these granted permissions when the user connects with SQL Developer to the database, he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUI. What causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Hello Dariyoosh,
he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUIyou can either go to "Other Users" - user1 - tables. There you see every table you have permission to select.
Or you can create a synonym in schema2 for each table in schema1 and set a filter on the tables node of user2 "Include synonyms".

Very Nube Question About Creating a Very Basic Application Bundle / Package

I don't know anything about XCode or AppleScript, other than that they exist, so I'm coming at this with only conceptual knowledge of how applications on OS-X work. Nonetheless, I have a goal that I feel should be really easy to accomplish, I just don't know where to begin.
What I have is an html file with an embedded flash project that also references some outside files, such as pdfs for printing. This was designed to live on the web, but in reality it will be shipped out on a CD. Right now, if you insert the cd, you see the file contents (the above mentioned HTML file, as well as two folders containing the flash files and the pdfs that are embedded in or linked out from the html file).
This isn't very elegant, and doesn't accomplish the "app" feel I'm shooting for. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to create an application package that has the html file and content folders tucked inside of it, so that when a user clicks on the application package, the html file is automatically launched? What resources might you point me to in order to learn how to do this in a relatively short amount of time? (I'm not even positive if I'm using the correct terminology to search for solutions... is it an application package or an application bundle?)
Now for the limitations:
These files were generated on a Windows machine by an eLearning tool ("Articulate Presenter") and therefore really can't be fiddled with much. I can't open any of the flash files and change the directory paths for the resource files the main presentation needs. I'm fairly confident the presentation just refers to the folder the html file is in as its root, so if the file structure could stay relatively intact once all the files move inside this "bundle," I think everything will still work.
The Articulate Presenter folks aren't particularly helpful in solving Mac compatibility issues, so I thought I'd pose my question here. If I'm not being clear, I am happy to add additional details. Thanks very much for your patience with, and willingness to offer advice to, a complete newbie.
Cheers!

It's even easier than you think.
Open AppleScript Editor.
Type in the following code:
set htmlFile to (POSIX path of (path to me)) & "Contents/Resources/index.html"
set openCommand to "open " & quoted form of htmlFile
do shell script openCommand
Then do File > Save, and use 'Application' as the file format.
Then the "Bundle Contents" button on the toolbar will be enabled. Click it to open up the drawer.
Drag your HTML content and resources into the drawer.
Do File > Save again. Ta-da, you have your web-content packaged as an application.
This assumes that the top-level has a file named index.html. If not, modify to suit.

Question about creating Jtable from a "Self Made" object.

Hi all,
I am new to java and this is my first post here.
First of all, i want to say nice to meet u all. This is a blessed forum, and it already helped me a lot.
I hope that i will be clear with my question.
Now to the question:
I have created a class that reads parameter file and its meta file and combine them (each parameter in the file gets its properties such as "Mask", "Default" and else from the meta file) to one object (the class creates collection of instance of it self that has a get method.
the class also has method that get "Column Names" from the instance.
I want to create a Jtable that will present these parameter(each row will present 1 parameter).
Only the second column should be editble and it should choose the editor by the type of data (example: if it is boolean should get a check box, i has more than one "ValidValue" should get a combo box and so on).
What would be the best way to do that?
I am not looking for a source code, I am looking for concept suggestion.
This project is for "Self Learning" porpuse, and any help will be gratitude.
Thanks a lot you all,
On Katalan.

Use the Adapter pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_pattern) to wrap your object as a TableModel.
eg, if your data class is "ParameterSet" you might do this...
public class ParameterSetTableModel implements TableModel
    private final ParameterSet set;
    public ParameterSetTableModel(ParameterSet set)
        this.set = set;
    public String[] getColumnNames()
        return this.set.getColumnNames();
    // you'll need to implement all TableModel methods, either
    // directly calling the wrapped object or calling it and
    // converting the data, or whatever's appropriate
}

Question about creating new objects

When creating a DocumentBuilderFactory Object, why is the code written like this:
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();as opposed to
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = new DocumentBuilderFactory();???

Factory classes like this are typically abstract classes which do little more than define an interface and the getInstance() methods. The class that getInstance() will actually instanciate will be a concrete implementation from a particular implementation of the DOM parser. This pattern allows whatever implementation happens to have been supplied to be automatically be used without your code having to concern itself.
The concrete factory will then create concrete implementations of the various interfaces like DOMPaser, using the implementations in the actual library.

Question about creating objects

Around the web and in a few books I have seen code similar to this:
List records = new ArrayList();
My question is, why is "List" used instead of "ArrayList"?? So the code would like so:
ArrayList records = new ArrayList();
What are the benefit(s) of assigning ArrayList object to a superclass variable??

It allows you to change the implementation on that
one line, for example, to:
List records = new LinkedList();
//or
List records = Collections.synchronizedList(new
ArrayList());without having to change the code elsewhere. And ask
yourself -- does
the code elsewhere in the class need to know that
records is an instance
of ArrayList, versus some other list type?Interesting, but then you would lose the additional methods that the derived class adds correct? So you have to make some sacrifices for more robustness.

Question about using threads and synchronizing objects

Hi all,
I am not that familiar and I have 2 questions.
QUESTION 1
I have a server which just sits and accepts incomming connections, then I spawn off a new thread which implements Runnable, and then call the run method. But the loop would not iterate, it would just sit inside the run method (which has rather long loop in it). I changed the class to extend Thread and called the start() method, rather than run(), and everything worked out fine.
Anyone know why this is?
QUESTION 2
So I am building a client server chat application where a user can be in multiple chat rooms. I have this personObject which has output/input streams. In the personObject, I create writeObject/ readObject method, which simply does as it implies.
I figured that I should make these methods synchronized, to ensure things run smoothly. however, when I made a call to readObject, which sat there and waited, and then made a call to writeObject, I would not enter the writeObject method. I took out the synchronized on the writeObject, and everything worked out fine.
I was under the assumption that synchronizing a method only synchronized on that method, not on the whole class. How come then was I not able to enter the writeObject method?
The more I think about it, I don't think I need to have these methods synchronized, but I thought it wouldn't hurt.
Thanks for the help.

You should still implement Runnable, rather than extending Thread. Like this: Runnable r = new MyRunnable();
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start(); run() is just another method. Nothing special about it as far as multithreading or anything else goes.
start() is the method that actually spawns a new thread of execution.
I was under the assumption that synchronizing a
method only synchronized on that method, not on the
whole class. How come then was I not able to enter
the writeObject method?When you synchronize, you obtain a lock. As long as you hold that lock--until you exit the sync block or call wait()--no other thread can enter that block or any other block that obtains the same lock.
Two synchronized methods on the same object rely on obtaining the same lock--there's one lock for each object.

Question about Creating DataSources for FlatFile Data Acquisition

Hello eveyone,
I am trying to create flatfile datasources. I've been checking out the existing ds in my dev system and there are some infrastructure here that have loaded data in them, all via their won flatfile DS. I've been looking at the DS and am trying to figure out logic in which they are defined. I saw that most of the fields are defined in CHAR even if they pertain to fields like quantity, Amount and so on... They are also in the Internal format. Yet they have been successfully loaded...
My question is: what are the rules of thumb in defining the DS? How do i go about in mapping the fields to objects in the system? Can anyone please give me the step-by-step scenario as to how to do this please?
Many thanks,
Philips

Hi Philip,
Pls. try the following steps ..may be helpful.
1. when ever you want to create a flat file structure..keep in mind that, what are
    fields data available in your file. second thing is you need to know the IO of
    the info provider in which you are uploading.
2. simply create your own DS with PC File, and other hand open up your infprovider, and keep on check with your flat file what is the sequence of the data
fields and what are they corresponds to in the cube/ODS
3. As your flat file sequence, keep on identify the related IO of your provider and
copy it individual and paste it in your infosouce one by one as sequence of your
flat file..
4. No need to think of what type of data it is and how it is..
5. simply copy all your correponding IO (what ever of their type) even including
    some of the ref. IO.
6. And finally save and activate your DS creation.
I hope it would help in creating your own Flat File DS.
Need further info revert...
Cheers,
Thanks=Points.

Question about creating Forms in Java.

Hello , im new to Java , i find kinda weird how Java creates Forms , its pretty simple in Oracle Forms ,
why did Java designers make it this difficult ? do people say this is something bad about Java ?
when i learned about the Layout Managers that Java provides i found out how much code one have to write just to create a simple form ,my question to the experienced java developers : what do you do to create a form , do you hard code it ? , or do you use something like GUI Builder in an IDE like NetBeans for example? and is the code generated by this builder easy to deal with and modify ?
Thanks ....

But the truth is that Oracle Forms application tie down all the components in fixed pixels. The typical Swing form can be resized and can function at different screen resolutions. So, when designing a Java form, we don't tend to work on a fixed grid but define the sizes and positions relative to other components. What's more the interface between the form elements and the data is completely flexible, and flexibility means extra effort.

Most I've tried have been a bit of a straitjacket, but I've recently been using the latest Netbeans offering and it's pretty good. I think the breakthrough was the introduction of the GroupLayout layout manager. This is a layout manager really designed for WYSIWYG form designers (pretty challenging to use hand coded).
The way these things work is that the class generated contains some methods which cannot be edited by hand, but you can add any amount of your own code without interfering with the generated code. You hook your own code snippets into the generated code, for example you can select a property of an object, say the model of a JTree, and select "user code", then type in an expression returning the TreeModel you want to use.
With listeners the designer will generate the method signature etc. but you can edit the body of the listener method.
However I would always recommend that you hand code a form or two before resorting to on of these editors because it's important you understand the code, even where a designer writes it.

Questions about creating a foreign key on a large table

Hello @ll,
during a database update I lost a foreign key between two tables. The tables are called werteart and werteartarchiv_pt. Because of its size, werteartarchiv_pt is a partitioned table. The missing foreign key was a constraint on table werteartarchiv_pt referencing werteart.
Some statistics about the sizes of the mentioned tables:
werteart 22 MB
werteartarchiv_pt 223 GB
werteartarchiv_pt (Index) 243 GB
I tried to create the foreign key again, but it failed with the following error (Excuses for the german error message):
sqlplus ORA-00604: Fehler auf rekursiver SQL-Ebene 1
sqlplus ORA-01652: Temp-Segment kann nicht um 128 in Tablespace TEMPS00 erweitert
The statement I used:
alter table werteartarchiv_pt
add constraint werteartarchiv_pt_fk1
foreign key (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
references werteart (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
on delete cascade
initially deferred deferrable;
So the problem seems to be, that Oracle needs a lot of temporary tablespace to generate the foreign key and I do not know how much and why.
My questions now are, and hopefully someone is here, who can answer all or a part of it:
1) Why does Oracle need temporary tablespace to create the foreign key? The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.
2a) Is it possible to tweak the statement without using the temporary tablespace?
2b) If it is not possible to avoid the usage of the temporary tablespace, is there a formula how to calculate the needed temporary tablespace?
3) Is it possible to modify data in the tables while the foreign key is created or is the whole table locked during the process?
Any help or hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Bjoern

The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.Because it's validating the data to ensure the foreign key won't be violated. If you had specified ENABLE NOVALIDATE when creating it then the existing data in the table wouldn't need to be checked and the statement should complete instantly (future data added would be checked by the constraint).

A question about ResultSet.UpdateObject(int column, Object x)

Question about "Create Item" page

Im working on trying to Insert a new item into a Self-Service Web Applications page.
As part of my research, I have been looking at this doc:
Oracle® Application Framework
Personalization Guide
Release 11i
Part No. B25439-02
From:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/acrobat/115fwkpg.pdf
The document does not seem to go into much detail about how to Insert an item on a page. I also checked the "OA Component Reference" document.
I checked the online help via "Create Item Page" - e.g.
http://oursite/pls/PSAT/fndgfm/fnd_help.get/US/FND/CUST_PERSADMIN_CREATEITEM.HTM
Again, that doesn't give a lot of information.
As part of my testing / research, I would like to add a new Item to a page, and have the value of the item to be taken from an existing SQL Query.
For example, in iProcurement, when viewing a Requisition Details, e.g. via this page:
http://oursite/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/icx/por/reqmgmt/webui/ReqDetailsPG&reqHeaderId={!!BX6R96mkQOcfNZ60BeTaJQ}&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y&_ti=245778094&PersonalizationParam=PersonalizationParamAdmin&oapc=12&oas=mYF7zP1VI7xoAWcUQHTEkQ..
I would like to add in the "NOTE_TO_AUTHORIZER" field from the "po.po_requisition_headers_all" table.
From looking at the "About this Page" link, I can see there is a View Object called "oracle.apps.icx.por.reqmgmt.server.ReqHeaderVO".
This ViewObject contains an Attribute called "NoteToAuthorizer" with a Type of "java.lang.String".
When I go to the "Create Item" page, and choose and Item Style of "Message Styled Text" there seems to be no way to say which database field you want to include.
From looking at a previous customisation that a developer did, I can see you can pull in an Attribute via the "View Attribute" field, and link in the VO via the "View Instance" field.
When inserting database values into a Self-Service page, can we only insert Attributes, and not any of the other regular fields from View Objects?
Apologies for the rambling essay.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jimr,
In OAF sql queries are represented by View Objects and columns of query will be represented by View Attribute.
For every column in query there will be corresponding view attribute name, so while adding any item on self service page which represents data from database you need to specify view instance name and view attribute name, which will specify which column and from which query it will show the data.
*"When I go to the "Create Item" page, I can't work out how to tell Oracle that the Item I want to create should be the "NoteToAuthorizer" field from the "ReqHeaderVO" ViewObject."* so ReqHeaderVO1 will be the instance(by default OAF generates instance like this) and "NoteToAuthorizer" can be mentioned in View Attribute name property.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
Regards,
Reetesh Sharma
