Environment needed to build and test Flash islands ?

Hi Everyone,
I'm a Flex developer and I know very little about SAP technologies. I'm very interested in Flash Islands and the possibilities that they bring to the table. I attended Thomas Jung's talks at TechEd and I think I know how to build an Island on my own .. actually I've already kinda built one that I think would work. The documents at Mentor Workshop google code site were very helpful http://code.google.com/p/sdn-mentor-handson-2008/downloads/list
Now the problem I have is that I have no where to test these Islands that I build (Thomas was gracious enough to help me test my first Island in WebDynpro and I hear its working) ... I don't work for a company and do not have access to a company installation ... so I would like to setup my own basic test Netweaver instance where I could tryout my Islands. I'm hoping that someone here could walk me through the steps I need to get started ... which version should I install? from where? Once the install is done do I need to do anything else? what do I do with all the .nugg and transport files provided here... http://code.google.com/p/sdn-mentor-handson-2008/downloads/list
etc.
I would really appreciate your help,
Thank you,
Mrinal

Hi. First thing you need is a NetWeaver ABAP system. You can download the trial from here.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/80fd9a0a-e306-2a10-c896-b84c77c13ed2
Once this is installed, then you can install SAPlink, which will help you in importing the .nugg files. If you don't have any NetWeaver ABAP experience, this may be a challenge for you.

Build and test Flex 4 in Hudson?

Hi
May I know how to build and test Flex 4 web application in the continuous integration server like Hudson?
I think tutorials have been describing of how to develop Flex 4 application using Flash Builder. Is it possible to build Flex application from command line (so that it can also be called from Hudson)?

I was able to convert a VI that contains a call to a library function (in this case, a DLL) into a DLL. I have isolated my problem to passing a hardware handle through multiple layers of library calls... My handle is a U32 that I am passing as a value at each layer.
I talk to my hardware via a DLL provided by my third party vendor. I have some LV code and a call library function in a subVI. When I convert my subVI to a DLL, my hardware does not respond as it should -- it behaves as if I have not opened a session with it even when I have already opened a session.
I remember reading somewhere that handles had to be initiated from the same process... does anyone know the details of how this works?

Flash Island issues

Hi all,
-Is it possible to create a FlashIsland dynamically? I'm building a flashisland for a web dynpro application that is dynamically build up. My problem exists when replacing the standard uielements by a flashisland, the blue box(swf background) shows up but it wont load(right click on movie says:"Movie not loaded").
Is there a way of doing this?
-Also you can run the demoapplication WDR_TEST_FLASH_ISLAND for the second issue. Is it possible not all features for flashisland are working because when you try here "Integration > change url of .swf file" and "integration > flash island on the popup" they will crash with an error saying this is not possible. Are these future features?
Kind regards,
Kim

Hi Thomas,
We are replacing a webdynpro application into flashislands. It's build up with a home component that loads up other specific components depending on which view you want to have displayed.
Now we're already experiencing big load times, and some delay untill the SAP data connection is made (10 seconds) after the application is shown. So we have to find a way to load the Flash Island views dynamically or seperately when we need them.
We've also found a way to shorten the load time by changing the framework linkage (Project -> Properties -> Framework linkage set to Runtime Shared Library RSL) so that the framework is in a seperate .swf file, and only the application swf file has to be loaded. But when adding the framework swf file in the MIME repo, and you run the application it can't be found.
Kind regards
Kim

Need to build new instance in sync with PROD instance.

Hi,
I need to build a test instance at my location which should be in sync with customer's PROD instance. I was given backup of ad_bugs,ad_applied_patches tables. Customer is not ready for clone due to security reasons.
This TEST instance will be used by our development people.
To build a test instance, i prepared the action plan, Just i want to check with you people once again.
1) building a new instance with rapid clone. I will keep same licencing, characterset,languages.
2) I will start applying one bye one patches.
Is this correct way or any other smarted way of doing the same activity.
Regards
SR.
activity.

By perfroming all the steps you describe, you are in effect doing a clone THE HARD WAY. Is there specific security concerns regarding data preventing you from using Rapid Clone? If so, there may be Oracle API's to resolve that.
I highly recommend convincing your customer that Rapid Clone is the way to go. You may never get everything in synch and it will be difficult to identify, internal id's likely won't. I also don't believe the method you propose is supported.
IMHO, Rapid Clone from prod is a requirement to support any SDLC e-biz installation.

Xcelsius adapter file for Flash Islands - where is it?

Can't find this broker file needed to communicate Xcelsius with Flash Islands ifor WDA. According to the book 'Next Generation ABAP Development' this file should be avaiable, does anyone have a link to it or know where I can find it?

Hey Thomas,
We are on 7.01:
SAP_BS_FND 701 0005 SAPK-70105INSAPBSFND SAP Business Suite Foundation
Is there any other way (support pkg?) to get this adapter file? Not sure if our system will be getting an upgrade soon.

What components do I need to develop and run JSP applications?

I am currently developing a JSP-based application using Apache, Tomcat, MySQL, and JDBC. I'm considering switching to Oracle since I know it better and it has better support for certain capabilities.
But, it's very confusing trying to determine from the Oracle sites just what I need and which platforms are supported. What do I need to buy and what can I download?
So, which Oracle components do I need to develop and test JSP applications using Application Server? I'll probably get into XML as well.
Does any of it run on Win98, WinNT, Win2000, or SolarisIntel? I likely will not deploy on any of these platforms, but it would be convenient to develop on my Intel laptop, if possible.
--Terry Westley, [email protected]

Oracle's IAS includes an Apache and Jserv with JSP runtime by default.
You could simply migrate your Apache/Tomcat JSP to Apache/Jserv/Oracle JSP without problems, including win32 plattform.
To run Servlet compliant with JSDK 2.2+ you has to use Apache mod_ose module with your servlets and jsp running inside the Oracle JVM, this combination is more scallable and secure for big projects, but it requires more hardware for your laptop.

Adobe Flash Builder pureMVC_As3 2.0.4 login works in Flash Builder when developing and testing but does not when deployed.

I have Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 with air 15. I am using as3 PureMVC swc. The application works and logins to my server during development and testing. But the issue comes when I deploy the application in IOS 8. The login does not work. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance.

Just as an add on note. What we can't determine is when the SWF file is run either in a a flash player 9 or with IE
it does not work. (i.e. no email and variable that is sent back is undefined) In flash player 10, it warns about some
security settings.
but in FLASH CS4 authoring environment, using the test movie, ctrl+enter, it runs like a champ, sends the email, gets
the variable back.
The server its being run on is a LAN based IIS server for Intranet use. So the local PC is connecting to it fine in "Test movie" mode.
but if you run that swf any other way, its does not work for love nor money! How do you debug for that! The asp code was even cut down
to a simple HELLO WOLD example and that still did not work. Of course it did work in Test Movie mode!

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).

Queries regarding Flash Builder and Augmented Reality.

I am Sarat from India. I'm a software engineer with working knowledge of Java, so Flash AS and OOP are understandable for me. I am working on an augmented reality project. I am quite new to Flash, Adobe Community and I've got some queries regarding Augmented Reality and Flash Builder:
1. Flash Builder 4.6 comes with a default Flex 4.6 SDK. However, Flex 4.6 SDK wasn't allowing me to compile and run some example files. So I've downloaded Flex 4.0A version from Adobe.com. Now the examples are running fine, but would there be any problem if i try deploying such projects in a website or as a desktop app? Once the code is compiled into a swf file, the flex framework used doesn't make much difference, does it?
2. Would the AR project run effectively on a website, given various internet/processor speeds worldwide? Would the effectiveness of the AR project, deployed on a website, depend on the number of triangles in the 3D models i.e. dae files? Because as per my understanding heavy models implies more time to download the flash app into the local browser from the internet and more time to render them by the papervision 3D engine right?
3. Can we develop a stand alone desktop AR app using Flash Builder? Using Adobe AIR we can, i guess. Please refer some tutorial, if possible.
4. I've seen that we can implement multiple-marker-tracking AR using vectors/arrays in AS. Would there be any performance issues depending on the size of the vectors/arrays used.
5. Can someone please mention some tips to improve performance of an AR app (desktop app and web app)?
6. What would be, approximately, the cost of FLARManager, FLARToolkit commercial versions, if you have any idea? I've gone through their website but they did not mention the costs.
7. Would applying bitmap material to the dae models pull down the web app/mobile app/desktop app performance, given some 4 to 5 dae models in the scene?
8. Is it advisable to use multiple markers with multiple dae models or single marker with Flash-based GUI option to load different models onto the same marker?
It would be very helpful for me if someone could answer my above queries.
Sarat.

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

Hi,
In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.
How to implement the same using adobe and flex?

Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
__ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
__ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
cheers

Using Flash Pro and Flash Builder together | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and Adobe Flash Builder 4 enable time-saving workflows. Learn how to develop content in Flash while editing associated ActionScript code in Flash Builder 4, switching easily between the two applications to edit and test.
http://adobe.ly/w50IJm

This doesn't seem to work the same way in CS5.5 / CS6
In the video the class files are associated with the FLA, when you switch back to Flash Pro...
So far, when I follow these steps the classes are not associated with the FLA, the class field for the stage in Flash remains blank.
Also, clicking the edit icon in the properties of a MovieClip and allowing FB to create the file, does not associate the as file with the MovieClip.
Returning to Flash Pro and clicking the Edit button attempt to create a new file once again, but since the file already exists in FB it just remains on the New ActionScript Class dialog, with the Finish Button grayed out (because a file with the same name already exists in FB).
The resulting AS files for a given are created in a sub folder under:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]/src-[Project]/*.as
Yet the FLA is located in Documents:
Documents/[Project].fla
Should the as files exists with the fla, is a folder reference supposed to be set, or did I miss a step somewhere?
Is a source path supposed to be added to Flash Pro for:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]
I am currently on a Mac, but noticed the same behavior in Windows at work yesterday.
Thanks,
Josh
