Access to container ActualArgs in TS.SData

Hi,
I want to get the parameter names of a sequence call step by using the TestStand API. The Container with this data is called ActualArgs, but how can i get the names (normaly arg0...argx) of all used parameters?
Regards,
Sunny

Sunny -
I thought that the SequenceCallParameter class exposed the parameter name, but it does not. It should and I will see if I can add that in the future.
The simple way would be to use the PropertyObject class as shown below:
Scott Richardson (NI)
Public Sub AccessStepInfo(oContext As TS.SequenceContext)
Dim oStep As TS.Step
Dim oActualArgs As TS.PropertyObject
Dim iItems As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim sString As String
Set oStep = oContext.Sequence.GetStepByName("SequenceCall", StepGroup_Main)
Set oActualArgs = oStep.AsPropertyObject().GetPropertyObject("TS.SData.ActualArgs", 0)
iItems = oActualArgs.GetNumSubProperties("")
For i = 0 To iItems - 1
sString = sString & o
ActualArgs.GetNthSubPropertyName("", i, 0) & vbCr
Next i
MsgBox sString
End Sub

Mapping in XI - cannot access Global Container parameters

Hi all,
we have the following problem in graphical XI mapping.
Trying to retrieve the run-time value of a global parameter, we cannot access the value itself (e.g. test using "display queue" menu).
We use 2 simple user-defined functions (getIdoc and corresponding setIdoc).
The source code for our custom get/set methods is:
public String getIdoc(Container container){
// This is a CUSTOM global parameter set <- cannot get the value itself
//String codMsgExport = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter("idoc");
//return codMsgExport.toString();
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
java.util.Map map;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
map = globalContainer.getParameters();
// This is a STANDARD global parameter set <- cannot get the value itself, as well
String headerField = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE);
return headerField;
public String setIdoc(String codMsgExport,Container container){
container.setParameter("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
String retValue = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter("idoc");
return retValue.toString();
=> anyway, get method returns only blank values (testing by "display queue" with some custom values...)
It seems as if the parameter is seen, as pointing to a not existing variable - e.g. getParameter("idoczz") - XI runtime returns a NullPointerException.
Some XI server details:
Runtime Environment
Java version: 1.4.2_06
Java vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Version
Service pack: 14
Release: 30_REL
Thanks all!
Gianluca Tacchella

Hi Sudharshan and Bhavesh,
I forgot to put a value under the tab PARAMETERS (this is the reason for the blank value, thanks:)).
Anyway, modifying (run-time by the set function) the standard runtime constant => leads to a get function with a single value returned (out) for "display queue", despite of test valorization: the initial value set under tab PARAMETERS.
Instead of using the runtime (standard) constant, using my (custom) global variable => leads to NullPointerException ("display queue" for get function) EVEN IF I initialize the variable (e.g. initIdoc() function called once at top-level target message).
under JAVA_SECTIONS_TOOLTIP button:
Global Variables
String idoc;
Initialization Section
idoc = "";
Clean-Up Section
idoc = "";
public String initIdoc(Container container){
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
// this is the only way NOT to get a NullPointerException
if ( globalContainer.getParameter("idoc") == null )
globalContainer.setParameter("idoc", "a");
return globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
initIdoc:
out (*)
[a]
(*) despite of initialization under JAVA_SECTIONS_TOOLTIP button
public void getIdoc(ResultList result,Container container){
//String codMsgExport = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter("idoc");
//return codMsgExport.toString();
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
java.util.Map map;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
map = globalContainer.getParameters();
//String headerField = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE);
// this returns null (out stream)
//String headerField = (String) map.get("idoc");
//if ( globalContainer.getParameter("idoc") == null )
//globalContainer.setParameter("idoc", "");
// this returns NullPointerException
String headerField = globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
//result.addValue(headerField);
// this returns NullPointerException
//return headerField.toString();
//return globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
result.addValue(globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString());
=> leads to NullPointerException
public String setIdoc(String codMsgExport,Container container){
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
java.util.Map map;
map = globalContainer.getParameters();
//globalContainer.setParameter(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE, codMsgExport.toString());
//container.setParameter("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
//String retValue = (String) map.put(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE, codMsgExport.toString());
// this returns a NullpointerException
//String retValue = (String) map.put("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
globalContainer.setParameter("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
//return "True"; // pointer for debug
//return retValue.toString(); // pointer for debug
return globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
setidoc:
in0     out (*)
[1]     [1]
[2]     [2]
(*) as if this "idoc" parameter is not the globally managed (JAVA_SECTIONS_TOOLTIP button), but one which lives inside the function and not outside for the get function..

Programmed Binding (Container IF) - how to access source container data

Hi,
I have created a programmed binding (container IF) using a function module based on SWA_BINDING_TEMPLATE.
I want to access an element (Meldung) based on BUS2078 (QM notification) from my source container and then retrieve the material from this element.
When the element is a simple element such as WfInitiator for example I cant retrieve the value using the get method on the source container but when it is a complex element such as a BOR object it does not work. How can I retrieve such data.
Thanks for your help,
Emmanuel

I finally found the answer last week, here is how I have done :
    DATA : l_matnr TYPE matnr.
    DATA : l_string TYPE string.
    DATA: lcx_container TYPE REF TO cx_swf_cnt_container.
    DATA: b_meldung TYPE swf_bor_object.
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD source_container->get
          EXPORTING
            name = 'Meldung'
          IMPORTING
            value = b_meldung.
        swf_get_property b_meldung 'Material' l_matnr.
      CATCH cx_swf_cnt_elem_not_found .
        l_string = 'cx_swf_cnt_elem_not_found'.
      CATCH cx_swf_cnt_elem_type_conflict .
        l_string = 'cx_swf_cnt_elem_type_conflict'.
      CATCH cx_swf_cnt_unit_type_conflict .
        l_string = 'cx_swf_cnt_unit_type_conflict'.
      CATCH cx_swf_cnt_container INTO lcx_container.
        l_string = lcx_container->t100_msg.
    ENDTRY.

Can I access WorkFlow Container Data After Archiving?

Hello .....
I am tasked to Archive thousands of old WorkFlows that are cluttering up our system and are beginning to cause performance issues.
I have managed to Archive some WorkFlows in our DEV system with Tcode SARA.
My question is .... Can I still access container data for Archived WF's? I can see logs that indicate successful Archive but our Managers still want to be able to see the container data. is it possible or is it gone? tahnk you in advance.
Dan Avis

Hello,
Your archiving isn't successful until you've tested it out - and answered your own question.
But as far as I can recall (I'll check) - yes, the container values are present. So far I haven't been able to find anything that was missing.

Unable to access files containing special characters (accents) on a SMB share

I can't access some files on a SMB share.
Those files have one thing in common, that is they contain accented characters (àèéìòù).
I can't access them from finder, terminal, or other softwares.
It works fine when accessing them from a Windows 7 client.
How can I fix this issue?
Is there some SMB option to specify the UTF8 encoding?
In addition, when I create a file with such characters from my mac, the special character shows as ?? on a non-mac client.

it turns out I had way more filenames with accented letters that worked well with MacOS X.
the difference is subtle: those OS X didn't like were like a "composition" of two character (sorry, I don't know the encoding details), that is a vowel and a unicode special character that modifies the previous char adding an accent.
I discovered this while renaming the files from a Windows client, by placing the cursor after "é" in "perché" and hitting backspace, it turned into "perche", and hitting backspace again deleted the "e", turning into "perch".
so I fixed those few invalid filenames.

Java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception when accessing BDB container using WAS

Hello, the missing class is in reposimpl.jar. In fact you need to add a lot of jars to publicapi.jar. Publicapi.jar is simply a public entry point to the common library used by other components (the GUI, OMBPlus,etc). I suggest you browse the scripts OWB_HOME/owb/bin/unix/setowbenv.sh or OWB_HOME/owb/bin/win32/setowbenv.bat depending on you OS, and start with the content of the OMBCLASSPATH variable.
Make sure you have corrected the problem with JCE libraries, as mentioned in thread OWB client not working
pubapi_javadoc.jar contains the docs, but if you've reached this far I suppose you already have it.
Good work, Antonio

Access Button contained in a movie clip

This is for beginners or those not familiar or having
diffculty with getting embedded buttons to work.
This is a how to on using actionscript in your main time line
that listens for events for button(s) located inside of a
movieclip.
I spent hours trying to figure out why I could not access my
button that was inside of a movie clip from the main ROOT or
_level0 of my scene. When I placed the AS inside the movieclip that
the button was inside of, the button worked but when I put the same
code, no changes, on the main timeline nothing happened.
myMovie_mc.myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
trace("The Button Works!");
Your can also use onPress, onRollOver or any of the button
actions you would if you created the AS on the button itself.
myMovie_mc.myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
function() part of the code can also be function():Void
First you tell flash where the button is located. Starting
from the main timeline you start with the name of the movie. This
is where I had trouble and why my buttons did not work. This part
of the code is the INSTANCE name NOT the label you named the movie
that displays in the library.
CREATE AN INSTANCE NAME on the movie clip. Select the movie,
in the properties bar you will see a field where you place the
instance name. I always end the name with _mc, or _btn to tell me
that it is a movie or a button so when I go back through the AS I
know what that object is that is being referenced.
myMovie_mc <-- This is the INSTANCE NAME of the movie clip
myButton_btn <-- This is the name of the button INSTANCE
NAME that resides inside the myMovie_mc movie clip
onRelease <-- This is the event listened for, it could
also be onPress, onRollOver or any other button events
= function() <-- This is needed and tells flash that this
code is treated as a function so that when the event happens, in
this case onRelease, the code inside the { } is executed. This
could also be = function():Void
All the parts before the set to symbol or the = sign needs to
be seperated with a period, though NOT between the event listened
for and the set to symbol or = sign.
myMovie_mc.myButton_btn.onRelease = function():Void
Put your code here that you want performed when button is
Released...
The reason my code didn't work was because I did not give an
instance name to the movie clip. You must give instance names to
ANYTHING you call within AS code. Including buttons, MC's, symbols
etc... or else nothing will happen.
Now, if you are having same problem I had, the AS worked on
the same time line level as the button was on but NOT when placed
in parent or main time line, you now know how to fix it.
This works in AS2, Flash8 and Flash9. I don't have AS3 yet
but the code should work in AS3 also.
Hope this helps someone, I searched for this info in the
forums and could NOT find it. I stumbled upon my error after many
hours of trial and error. So next time if I have this problem
again, a forum search will bring this post up in the results. LOL
Thanks.

Nice post. One small addition to this is that you can also
just specify a function name instead of using "=function() {".
For example:
myMovie_mc.myButton_btn.onRelease = myFunction;
function myFunction():Void
Put your code here that you want performed when button is
Released...
This could be used in a couple of ways. First, the way you
mentioned in your post. Second, you can use this method to have the
program simulate a button press (even if the user does not click on
the button). Since the function will execute even if you just call
it like: myFunction();
Just my 2 cents.

Accessing Global Container

Dear Experts,
I have an RFC to FILE Scenario and used BPM to meet the requirements.
There are 2 graphical mappings - mapping1 before the BPM and mapping2 (transformation) within the BPM.
I have saved a parameter in the global container in mapping1 but unable to extract the same in mapping2. Any idea?
UDF in mapping1:
GlobalContainer gc1 = container.getGlobalContainer();
String gdata1 = va2 + "_" + var3;
gc1.setParameter("gdata",gdata1);
UDF in mapping2:
GlobalContainer gc2 = container.getGlobalContainer();
String gdata2 = (String) gc2.getParameter("gdata");
Thanks and Regards,
Rana Brata De

Hi Rana
Refer the following statement from SAP Help stating that the values only available in same message mapping.
This object enables you to cache the values that you want to read again when you next call any user-defined function in the same message mapping.
GlobalContainer Object - Enterprise Services Repository - SAP Library
If you want to pass the value, you can either add additional fields in your structures or use DynamicConfiguration (has limit of 200 characters). Since you are using BPM (is it ccBPM or NW BPM?), I'm not sure if DC attributes can be passed into a BPM an accessible.
Any particular reason to do the 2nd mapping within the BPM? You can also do it out of the BPM after all the necessary BPM processing.

Default component accessibility in Container (JPanel)

Hi all,
I suppose this question is possible to find in this forum, but I was unsuccessful. I have JPanel including many components (e.g. JTextField, JComboBox, JButton, JList, ...). I would like to focus to specific component, e.g. JTextField. Example: When JPanel is shown then JTextField should be accessible (I want write there) not any other component. How can I reach this state?

fun_with_me wrote:
jTextField1.grabFocus();
The other day you gave an answer that had me wondering if you program using a crystal ball, and this reply simply reinforces that impression. Do you ever consult the JavaDocs?
From the JavaDocs for [JComponent.grabFocus()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JComponent.html#grabFocus()].
"Requests that this Component get the input focus, and that this Component's top-level ancestor become the focused Window. This component must be displayable, visible, and focusable for the request to be granted.
This method is intended for use by focus implementations. *Client code should not use this method; instead, it should use requestFocusInWindow().* "

Accessing container element in the User Defined Function

Hi All,
I am accessing a container element in the user defined function.
But it is not working. Actually i want to split a message(1800 records) into a batch of 200.
But it goes in a infinite loop.
Please can you tell me where i am wrong.
Smita
The code is :
public void SplitMsg(String[] a,ResultList result,Container container){
Object container1;
String counter;
int i,j=0;
container1 = container.getParameter("value");
if( container1 == null){
counter = "0";
else {
     counter = container.toString();
     j = Integer.valueOf(counter).intValue();
for ( i = j ; i <= j + 199 ; i++){
     if ( i >= a.length){
          container.setParameter("value","9999999");
          break;
     result.addValue(a<i>);
     j += 200;
     counter = Integer.toString(j);
     container.setParameter("value", counter);

Here is another way to accomplish what you wanted.
For the target mapping, use this sequence for mapping
Source element -> removeContext -> Your User-defined Function -> Target Element
When defining User-Defined Function, select "Cache Queue" option.
Since you are using removeContext before calling the UserDefined function, your input to the user defined function will be a String array without ResultList.CC.
Now manipulate the array the way you want it, and build the ResultList result.
After every 200 records, use method
void addContextChange().
This will insert the ResultList.CC at the appropriate places.
Use Display Queue in the Mapping Editor to see the debug values.

Tune this "contains" query in Oracle 11g EE 11.2.0.3.0

I have a query like below. It runs for ever. The size of this table is not very big, it has around 30 millions rows. The owner column is very selective, and I've added "owner' column in the "filter by" clause of the domain index against description. Do you have any recommendation how I can tune this query? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
select count(*) from items s where contains(s.description, '%111%' ) > 0 and s.owner = 1234;
Thanks.

You need to use SDATA to access the owner column through the index. You may also get better performance on your wildcard searches by using a wordlist with attributes as shown below. Please see the demonstration below.

11g and SDATA sections

Considering the new features of Oracle Text in 11g I have the following issue: given table T with columns A, B, C and FTS I need to do a grouping like SELECT b, COUNT(*) FROM t WHERE CONTAINS(FTS, 'X', 1)>0 GROUP BY b. Of course B is added to SDATA section using FILTER BY clause.
Direct query against the index such as "WHERE CONTAINS(FTS, 'X AND SDATA(B=1)', 1)>0" give good results since it doesn't touch the table at all. But the earlier GROUP BY forces Oracle to access the b value by rowid.
Is there a way to make Oracle use the data in SDATA only for such GROUP BY?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete
You can use the following hint and give it a try
/*+ domain_index_filter(table_name index_name) */
The above will try to push down the filter by predicate
Additionally, to push down the order by predicate use the following hint in the query
/*+ domain_index_sort */
Regards

You mean this?
SELECT b, COUNT(*)
FROM t
WHERE CONTAINS(FTS, 'X', 1)>0
AND b=1
GROUP BY bWhich would be the same as:
SELECT 1 as b, COUNT(*)
FROM t
WHERE CONTAINS(FTS, 'X', 1)>0
AND b=1Edited by: Toon Koppelaars on Oct 13, 2009 3:21 PM
