BOM structures in large projects. Use Collective?

Hello All,
I am a little new with this forum. I was a super user in a high volume high mix industry where we used collective production orders quite frequently.
I am now working with highly engineered long term capitol projects.
It looks like a lot of the BOM's are flat and ties to a WBS project number. This makes planning very arduous since we are essentually building components into the routing.
Collective orders since it seems to give order and structure for materials and planning.
I am wondering what similar industries do in this environment. I would welcome any comment regarding the pro's and con's of pushing to change toward using collective more.
Thank You

Hi Richard,
please go through the document it may help you little COLLECTIVE ORDER OR DIRECT PRODCUTION - A scenario overview .

Best practices code structure for large projects?

Hi, I come from the Java world where organizing your code is handled conveniently through packages. Is there an equivalent in XCode/Objective C? I'd rather not lump all my observers, entities, controllers, etc in one place under "Classes"...or maybe it doesn't matter...
If anyone could point me to a document outlining recommended guidelines I'd appreciate it.
Thanks! Jon

If you have a small project, you can setup Groups in Xcode to logically organize your files. Those Groups do not necessarily have to correspond to any directory structure. I have all my source files in one directory but organize them into Groups in Xcode.
If you have a larger project, you can do the same thing, but with code organized into actual directories. Groups can be defined to be relative to a particular directory.
If really do have a large project, you should organize things the same was as in Java. Your "packages" would just be libraries - either static or dynamic.
As far as official guidelines go, there really aren't any. It would be best to stick to the Cocoa Model-View-Controller architecture if that is the type of application you are working on. For other software, you can do it however you want, including following something like Sun's guidelines if you want.

Event structure in a project using RT target

Hello.
As i was already told, i can't use dynamic events on RT targets. Can you suggest me a solution?
I have the following project:
Not a Real-Time Project. But project that using RT target: NI cRIO 9074.
My main VI looks like (part of it):
It is implemented by while loop, which runs until START button is pressed. The button pressed after all the values are set, and then the scan begins.
When i was developing this VI outside the project, I used event structure for save to new/existing file, show graph buttons (the white buttons). Because it should not interrupt the while loop (user can make setting, then press show graph, then set something again and only then press START).
It was like here:
Now, i wanted to bring all the parts together and put that VI in the project. In addition i wanted to add few buttons, like <-- and --> which are moving the motor manually before the scan starts. BUT, it didn't work.
Now I'm stuck
How can I implement what i describe above in my situation?
Thanks!!!

Hi Tacchi,
Are you planning on running your application as a startup executable or from the development environment? If you are planning on running this from the development environment, probably the closest thing you will get to the behavior you currently see with an event structure is by polling the value of the control that you wish to trigger the event. For example, if you wanted an event to be triggered when a button is clicked, you can have a while loop with a case structure inside of it that performs whatever code you want when the value of the button is true:
Granted this is not the ideal translation, but since RT applications are meant to run headlessly without a front panel, it may be the best option for your application.
Hope this is helpful!

Management of large projects using JNI

I've got some code written in C and I want to interact with these code using JNI. But these code comprehends lots of c and h files, spreaded in lots of directories. To compile all of these, I have some makefiles. My question is: how can I start managing all of these code using JNI, I mean, what could it be my start point? Should I try to change the c code that calls everything?
Where can I put my new generated java, c and h files, in order not to generate a great mess?
Thanks!

Where can I put my new generated java, c and h files,
in order not to generate a great mess?In a directory besides the one that contains all of your other C/H code.

Export format for clips to be used in larger project.

Back in the PE2 days, I used to capture and trim a clip and "export movie" which resulted in a "DV-AVI" file. This is what I understood PE "liked" and the best format to use for import to a larger project (and it worked nicely every time). Now, in PE11, I don't see that option. This method is handy, not only for trimming stuff you don't want, but naming the clips to help with content id. What option should I use that preserves quality and cooperates with PE best?

Importing Non BOM Structure to OCD

Hi All,
I am aware that there are import tables like CZ_IMP_DEVL_PROJECT, CZ_IMP_PS_NODES to import the flat file data and run the procedure import_generic from cz_modeloperations_pub API (or Run Populate Configuration Models concurrent program) so that the data is inserted into base tables for CZ Structure.
I would like to know if anyone has imported Non BOM Structure from a flat file into CZ Structure in OCD in this way? If Yes, how was the experience importing in this way?
Is it a suggested approach or is it better to follow the approach of building the Non BOM structure manually?
(Note: The case here is adding the Non BOM nodes directly under the BOM Model nodes imported already).
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Madhu Sudhan.

I cannot speak for Murali, but from my experience...this information is not available in particular manual or documentation. These table names are known over the course of working with the product over a period of time, seeing SQL statements inside working code, working on bugs alongside Oracle Support and Development, etc. However, there is some information available in the following locations to help you out:
* CZ Implementation Guide - Section D - CZ Subschemas (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e14322/T440679CHDJBBFB.htm). This part of the manual lists the key tables used for various activities (product structure, publishing, UI, etc.)
* ETRM (http://etrm.oracle.com) also has some useful information. Not every table is described, but many of them are. As an example, here is what you might find as a description of the CZ_PS_NODES table:
+"The CZ_PS_NODES table contains the entire structure of a product model. Data can be imported from Oracle Bill of Materials. Each project has a root (product) node. When the project structure is imported, project structure nodes mirror the imported BOM structure. Nodes of type REFERENCE are used to include a separate project ("model") into another psnode project tree."+

How to export and Import BOM structure?

Hello Experts,
How can I export my BOM structure into xls, ms-project etc..?
How can I import into SAP BOM?
Pls point me any doc or link
Regards
Shital

Hi Shital,
>How can I export my BOM structure into xls, ms-project etc..?
Go to trx CS15 and it will give you your BOM in ALV format from where you can down load it in excel.
Or go to print preview in CS15 and then Export the same.
>How can I import into SAP BOM?
Use can the Wrok Bench CEWB.
But the best option is LSMW.

Encore DVD 2.0 memory errors on large project

Hello,
I'm compiling a DVD for commercial distribution using Encore 2.0.
It's a large project in that there are 4 x 3 minute video clips, 2000 timeline-arranged audio files, motion menus with audio and quite a lot of buttons.
Encore is misbehaving quite badly - it has problems with audio clips that are not the standard (48000 hertz, 768 kbps bitrate, PCM audio) and the project does preview briefly before 'internal memory error 0x000002' comes up.
The workstation is an AMD64 dual-core 3800, on a Gigabyte skt 939 board, with a Geforce 6600 graphics card and 2 Gb of DDR RAM. So no hardware problems, I think. And yes it is a SSE2 processor - it'd have to be to run Encore at all.
I can't even build a DVD image due to the apparent size of the project. My client is certain that all of the audio timelines are necessary to the project, but I know that deleting them and cutting the size of the project down will cure the problems I'm having.
I don't know if there is any obvious reason that Encore can't handle the project - Adobe Updater does not have any new updates for Encore so I assume that this is as good as I'm gonna get.
Any similar experiences? Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Ed Brown

You're right - some of the files are mono, and I have been batch processing them up to 48k stereo, thus doubling the bitrate.
Originally the audio files were recorded in-camera during interviews. The audio of these interviews was chopped up and edited, and animation was produced to complement the selected sections of the audio interviews. Now we're putting the animation series (called Terra 2050) onto DVD and I'm in charge of the project. For the DVD extras, we wanted to include the full audio interviews.
So I set up a basic DVD with Play All, Select Episode etc. Then I started to add a timeline for each person, dumped all of that person's interview onto the audio track, made a PSD of that person's name, so by choosing "Colin Pillinger" on the Interviewees menu, the DVD should jump to a timeline that plays a still saying "Colin Pillinger - Professor of Planetary Science" while Colin's interview plays over the top.
The audio files are only half the problem, however.
The structure is as follows:
Top menu: Play All - Select Episode - Extras Menu
Extras Menu: Behind the Scenes - Audio Interviews
Audio Interviews: (a long list of buttons, with each person's name on each button, which links to that person's timeline)
Each timeline contains; video track contains a PSD of that person's name; audio track contains several audio clips of that person's interview.
So I do not have more than 99 timelines or 99 chapters in any one timeline. I think the project is too large to be cached in one go for Preview purposes, but I know it all works properly according to the Flowchart/Check Project windows.
Should I just switch to Sonic Scenarist and stick my head in a DVD architecture manual for a month? Encore doesn't seem to handle 'large' (read professional quality) projects at all well.
Thanks so much for your input - I really appreciate your help.

Managing Tasks in large projects

I'd like to create DAQmx tasks inside the folder structure of my project (.lvproj).
If I right-click on folder 'beamPath' and create a New DAQmx task, it results in the above.
However, when I close the project and re-open, it's gone.
If I right-click on 'My Computer' create task, close project and re-open, it's still there:
Where does the task exist? is it a file I can view when looking at the file structure.
I have a very large project divided into sub-systems that I test individually, I'd like the tasks for each sub-system stored within a folder called "tasks" inside the autopopulating folder structure of the Project.

The task and all other DAQmx stuff is stored in the project (*.lvproj) auto-pop folders don't work because there is no file on disk for the task besides that xml file with the .lvproj extension. Try opening the project with Internet Explorer- you'll see exactly what I mean and learn a lot about how DAQmx tasks live.
Which brings up another "Nice-to-Know" tidbit of information. Auto-populating folders were invented by the devil's mother. Have you ever seen a shipping example that used them? Did you know that project templates can't use them? (today, but I saw a CAR show up to change that) Don't use them. They were helpful to build projects out of llbs and get you going with projects but, they have limitations. The project explorers's files view is a much more powerful tool to use to sync your file structure on disk with your virtual folder structure (If you want that that) Virtual folders hold things just as effectively since you can really only hurt yourself messing with the files on disk without using the project explorer anyway (Thats how you get conflicts.)

While creating Projects Using the API, get two errors: 'Customer name must be passed' and 'class category is invalid'

Hi
While trying to Create Projects using the API, I'm getting two types of errors -
The first is : 'API failed in one stage 1 Customer Name is a mandatory Quick Entry field. Value must be passed'
The second is : '
'API failed in one stage 1 Project: '<Project_Number>'
The class category is invalid.'
Both the messages are produced by our custom program. .. however I am not able to understand why the underlying errors occur.
The first error ( Customer Name is a mandatory quick entry field), is caused by Projects that are to be created from Project templates where it is configured with Quick Entry Customer Name required. We are passing Customer Site number ( Party Bill to site number and Party Ship to side number). The site numbers being passed are also set as 'Primary'. Yet they are failing.
For the second Error ( The Class Category is invalid), I rechecked multiple times, the Class categories for the Projects I am trying to create, with the Config in R12 and they are fine. Can't understand the reason for these two issues. Has anyone encountered such an issue ? If so how was it resolved?
Regards
Vivek

HI All
I resolved both the issues. In case there are others facing similar issues, following was the cause and resolution of my errors
1. Error 1: Customer Name is a Mandatory Quick Entry field. Value must be passed.
The cause was that the data loaded into our custom staging table was not in the right fields. This was because the data file values and the CTL were not in sync.
Resolution:
Corrected the data file to be in Sync with the structure defined in the CTL and this loaded it successfully
2. Error 2: The class category is invalid.
The cause of this error was that in the Projects Template (used to create the project from), the Quick Entry setup had a Class Category set as required and I was not passing a value ( a class code value) for that Class Category.
Hope this helps somebody else
Cheers

Visarc generates dirty project using SVN source control

Hi,
I've read in different topics some issues related to the visarc file, but unfortunately, none of them helped me out. I was wondering if any of you came across this issue and found a solution or workaround to it.
The problem relates to a LabVIEW project which opens dirty, as you commonly say, under some circunstances. Below I will explain some of the problems I encountered as I tried to track this problem down.
1. I'm running a large LabVIEW Run-Time project using a PXI with several FPGA - cRIO.
2. I found that when opening the project file, this is perfectly clean and no asterisk shows in the title bar. I close the project and no saving is needed.
3. I open the project again and I open a sub-VI which contains the following code:
4. Straight away, the file visarc shows up under the Dependencies tree of the Real-Time PXI and the asterisk shows now on the title bar of the project (not the VI).
5. The VI closes without needed to be saved but the project says that an item was added, removed and added, and it has to be saved (as soon as I close the subVI above, the visarc file dissapears from the Dependencies section).
6. What I do next is to add this file visarc (located in Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\resource) to the project under the PXI tree. I then save the project and close it.
7. I open the project again, and it keeps being clean (not dirty, as you say).
8. I open the same sub-vi than before and everything keeps being clean and no saving is needed neither on the sub-VI nor the project. Everything goes smooth in my local computer from now on.
However, the issue that I can not resolve follows:
9. We are two people working on this project, and we're using SVN as source version control. Everything works fine in my computer, but when my partner update the files on his computer, the project opens dirty as soon as it opens (only the project, the sub-VI is no needed to be saved).
10. My partner just save the project and close it, and it becomes clean straight away in his computer. The files which are saved are the aliases file (I expected that), the labview project file, and the LVLPS File of the project.
This issue will happen again as soon as any of us downloads the SW committed by the other.
I hope any of you can help me out with this issue. Any suggestion or idea are welcome.
Thank you very much in advanced.
Best regards,
danidpr

As far as I know, the resource manager does not support version control. If you map the version control folder to a local folder, you can use that in RoboHelp. But I'm afraid that any changes in the resource manager files will require you to manually check them out first. This is how I'm doing it anyway.
Kind regards,

Needed help in bulk collect using collections

Hi,
I have created a schema level collection like "CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_EMP_NO IS TABLE OF NUMBER ;
will i able to use this in a where clause which involves bulk collect?
Please share ur thoughts.

user13710379 wrote:

So calling a collection variable in PL/SQL a "+PL/SQL table+" does not make much sense as this array structure is nothing like a table. For the same reason, one needs to question running SQL select statements against PL/SQL arrays.
As for your SQL type defined - it is a collection (array) of numbers. Thus it can be used to bulk fetch a numeric column.

File structure in large applications

Hello,
I have a fairly large application, totaling around ~150,000 lines of code.
Unfortunately, when I first began building this application, my understanding of file structure and various architectural patterns was quite limited, and the code could easily be labeled as "spaghetti code."
Since then, I have begun migrating everything over into an MVC structure, but was not entirely sure how to proceed.
I have one primary file, let's say Application.as that is essentially the main actionscript class, and I am using 'include "com/controller/hello.as"' instead of importing classes because I did not want to clutter up my code by using classes all over the place and having to instantiate them.
Would creating classes instead of having flat actionscript files be a better way to proceed?
How do you structure your large applications?
Are there any resources out there, articles, books, etc., that discuss enterprise level architectural patterns in Flex?
Thanks!

Flex is an Object Oriented environment and so NOT using classes and objects will generally lead to the architectural anti-pattern (read Bad) sometimes refered to as the Big Ball Of Mud (aka spaghetti code).
Just using classes and objects isn't always enough though. If a class is larger than 500 lines of code, it is very probably too big and doing too many things - try and split it up into smaller classes that each do exactly one thing and do it well. If a function is longer than one screen on your display, it is too big and should be broken down into smaller functions.
One good indicator as to whether or not you have a good class is to use a unit testing framework (http://flexunit.org/) and write tests for the class. If it's hard to test it then it's probably still too complicated.
How the classes are organized into packages is a less interesting, though if a package has more than 30 classes then there's a good chance that it's too big and you should try and divide it up.

How do I select all clips in a large project with out individually select each clip?

I have a large project with ~1000 clips (still jpgs). My question is how do I select all of the clips without individually selecting each clip?

Chris
Thanks for the reply with additional information.
The suggestion given would be applicable to your Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7.
As an aside, have you updated 12 to 12.1 yet? If not, please do so using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. The major perk of the update
is that it corrects an Expert workspace Text/Style issue. There are other less defined advantages included.
Please let us know if the suggestion for Select All worked for you.
Thanks.

One structure is created and using in 3 queries, i want to modify that stru

hi gurus,
one structure is created and using in 3 queries, i want to modify that structure in only one query but it will not effect other two.wat should i do for that?
thanx in advace,
i will assign points,
srinivas.

Hi srinivas,
This scenario could be frequently seen in a project. I assume the structure you mentioned is saved as a global structure, then in the query which you want to modify, right click on the structure and choose "Remove Reference". This function copies the global structure to a local one, in which you can change it and the other two won't get affected.
Hope this helps.

Aaron
