Getting the 'Description' of a field from an Access DB

Hi,
How can we get rhe contents of the 'Description' of a field in an Access DB?

For instance,
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs=dbmd.getColumns(null,null,"%","%");
You should read JDK API about DatabaseMetaData.getColumns to know more about what in that rs object:)

Getting the description from dropdown list

hi sdns,
Just a quick check. My WD program have a set of dropdown list (by key) which is derived and populated by a complex series of logic.
Now I need to update a textview of the description of dropdown list I select. I don't want to go through the complex codes again just to retrieve te descriptions but I want to directly access to the valueset to retrieve the description. I tried "gettext()" but it's giving me error.
Anyone kind enough to provide me some snippet of codes to directly access to the selected description of my dropdown list? points will be awarded for useful answers....thanks.

Hi Jansen,
Let the attribute bound to DDKey be Val in Context.
You will be putting key-value to DDKey by
IWDAttributeInfo boutiqueInfo=wdContext.getNodeInfo()..getAttribute(IPrivate<View>.IContextElement.VAL);
ISimpleTypeModifiable stf1=boutiqueInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet svs=stf1.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
To get the text of the dropDown, first get the key of the dropDown selected by
String key=wdContext.currentContextElement.getVal();
Now u can get the value of this key from the SVS variable of DDby Key
String ddValue=svs.getText(key);
The key is case sensitive, so ensure the case also.
U can check the existence of the key by
if(svs.containsKey(key))
and value by
if(svs.containsText(key))

Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?

Hi !
Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?
Example:
@VAR contains the following text "ABCDEFGHIJKLM"
I'am seaching for FGH, it start on pos. 6 en ends on pos 8.
How can I get these numbers 6 and 8 ?
So, I can use them in the MID(text,start,len) function.
Thanks!

Hi Sooraj,
I'll explain more in detail:
From a web-service I get a variable called @Spec.
This variable contains the following:
"MOTORTYPE[CR]D-QW1234[LF]PART[CR]1234-FRD-X[LF]"
or
"MOTORTYPE[CR]ABC[LF]PART[CR]E-435[LF]"
I need the values behind MOTORTYPE[CR] and behind PART[CR]
But youll see that the positions of these values are different each time.
If there is a way to get the (start) position of "MOTORTYPE[CR]" or "PART[CR]" and the (end) position of the first "[LF]" behind that,
then I could use the MID() function to get the correct values.
The values will be displayed in a table view (between other fields).
An ABAP-call/function wont work . . . how should I invoke this within a table column/field object ? (system action ?)

R/3 job and get the details of variants like (from and to)

Hi,
How to find R/3 job and get the details of variants like (from and to) for that job.
the job is extraction job and running for 4 hours in R/3 once atfer this job completes BW job will start executing. Now i have to analyse R/3 job that how many years of data it is extracting (from, to) and other useful information why it is taking time for 4 hours.
Please let me know what transaction i have to use and how to check this information in R/3 side.
Thanks,

Hi........
Go to SM37 >> select the job >> Click on Job log.........Check there whether u r getting any Clue or not...........Is this load is through PSA..........? if so check the records of the First data packet...........then the Last data packet............from there u can get some idea..................
Also u can check the data in the Extractor.......is it a full load?.............Go to RSA3 >> Execute..........there check the data........
Is it a LO datasource ? if so................Go to LBWE >> Click on maintenance link for your datasource........>> Here in the Right pane u can see the Structute associated with that Datasource ...........If u remove MC from those structure name............u will get the table name..............In those tables also u can check the data...............there should be some data field.............from where u can get some idea.........
If ur Extractor is extracting data using some Function Module.............then open the datasource using RSA2.............there double click on the Exrtractor..............u will get the function module.................u can try to analyze the function module............
For Variants..................select the job >> click on Step in the top >> then Go to in the top >> Variant..............but I don't think this will help u............this will tell u that this Extraction job is part of which chain or IP......

How to get the name of a field without specifying it as a string (somehow v

Is it possible to get the name of a field (or method) somehow via the class in which it is declared?
The reason why I ask is, that quite often the name of a field is important, because the name is the anchor for further processing, like for example when using reflection (e.g. Class.getfield(NameOfTheField)).
Assume you have class FooSimple with the field String firstName.
Now you would do something like this:
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField("firstName");
The problem is, that the string firstName is kind of hard coded. When the name of the field in class FooSimple changes (e.g. to theFirstName), the invocation will not work anymore when you forget to change the string too.
I think it would be very helpful to have access to the name of the field directly via the class by doing something like this.
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField(FooSimple.firstName.fieldName);
The Java Compiler would then resolve FooSimple.firstName.fieldName to the string firstName. When later the name of the field is changed, the IDE would change the name everywhere where it is used. So if the name of the field would be changed to theFirstName the IDE would also change the statement to
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField(FooSimple.theFirstName.fieldName);
A technique like this would be in my opinion much more safety and more generic.
Any ideas?
Best Regards.

Well, I think the discussion is going in a wrong direction because the original issue was not to discuss if it is worth coding some helper classes or a framework or that like. Let me bring it back to my original point.
Basically you can reduce my original question to this:
Currently it is possible to use the reflection API on a class level without specifying the name of the class with a string constant.
My issue is, that I think it would be a nice extension for Java, if the same would be possible for field variables of a Java class. Currently the only way you can do this is by specifying the field variable with a string constant.
Let me bring some motivations which brought me to this issue.
Assume you have an entity bean which represents a DB table and you use Java Persistence (either JPA or something like Hibernate). Then you would have a class looking like this (very simple sample to make this reply shorter).
@Entity
@Table(name = "PERSON")
public class Person implements Serializable {
@Column(name = "NAME")
private String name;
// constructor, getter, setter, etc. not listed here
}The whole issue of the design of JPA is, that such entity beans represent the mapping between the object model and the DB model, the mapping is expressed with annotations.
Okay, now lets assume you write a query in Query Language, e.g.
String sql = select p from Person p where name = :name;name is the name of the field variable, :name is the parameter you later set with Query.setParameter method.
What is not so nice is the fact, that you use the name of the class and the name of the field variables hardcoded to construct the query. Now you could think that basically this information is part of your entity class. First you start with the name of the class (i.e. the table name) to decouple this hardcoding.
You could write instead:
String sql = select p from + Person.class.getSimpleName() + p where name = :name;This is really nice, because whenever you change the name of your Person class, this change happens automatically for the sql statement as well.
I think the next thoughts are obvious, now, since you have decoupled the hardcoded part of the name of the class, you would like to do the same for the names of the field variables. But now you are stuck, there is no way to do this using a similar technique like for the name of the class. Either you stay with the query as it is now, or, to make it a little bit better, you code string constants for the field variables and use them. This issue brought me to the point that I think it would be nice to have the possibility to get the name of a field variable in a similar way as you can get it for the name of the class.
Conceptually it is just to go one level deeper, i.e.
first level is to get the name of a class
second level is to get the name of the field variable of a class.
Another sample would be, if you want to code something by using reflection. You have perfectly access to the reflection API starting at the class level like Person.class.allTheNiceReflectionMethods. There is no need to specify the class first with a string constant first, you directly start with the class, you can even be generic and just work on the Class.class level and still have access to all these nice methods to get out the information you need.
But if you need to start with a very specific field variable (like in the sample above), you must go by using a string constant like Person.class.getDeclaredField(name).
So basically I think that there exist already millions of lines of Java code where a field variable is specified for further processing, especially in combination with the reflection functionality and everywhere the field variables are specified by these string constants in double quotes. I would assume, that everyone has the same problem, once changing the name of the field variable means to take care that also the content of the string which specifies the name of the field variable is changed.
I am wondering why one of the replies commented, why the name of a field variable is changed, it sounds to me that this is something which basically never happens. I dont know, I think that this happens actually quite often and thanks to all these nice IDEs and their rename feature this is usually no problem. From time to time names of classes change, name of field change, yes, they are often even completely rewritten, new field variables come in some are deleted, whatever it is. The way I currently can access the name of a class makes the code safer, because when I consequently go with Class.class.getSimpleName I always know, that when I rename the class all these statements are changed too If I delete such a class, I at least get a compile error.
My very simple issues is, that I think it would be nice to have the same comfort not only on a class level but also on the level of field variables, nothing more, nothing less.
To be honest, I have not browsed the forum yet if such an issue was already raised by other people (I will do this now), but somehow it is hard to imagine, that I am the first one.
Best regards.

I am trying to pass the value of a field from the seeded page /oracle/apps/

I am trying to pass the value of a field from the seeded page /oracle/apps/asn/opportunity/webui/OpptyDetPG. The value I want is in the VO oracle.apps.asn.opportunity.server.OpportunityDetailsVO and the field PartyName.
I have created a button on the page whose destination URL is
OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_CS_SR_QUERY&CustName={#PartyName}
It opens the correct page, but in the URL it shows this
http://aa.com:8005/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_CS_SR_QUERY&CustName=&_ti=1897289736&oapc=177&oas=x5E2TIfP1Y0FykBt1ek4ug..
You can see that &CustName is not getting the proper value. Do I need to do something different?

You cannot call the form with OA.jsp . This is applicable only for OAF based pages registered as a function.
For calling a Form, use the below example:
You have to change the application responsibility key and form function name .
"form:PN:PN:STANDARD:XXPNTLEASE:QUERY_LEASE_ID={@QueryLeaseNumber}"

How to get the number of community members from outside the community

Hi everyone.
I need to know if there is any way to get the number of community members from outside the community, I mean, not using the "What's happening" webpart. I want to build up a page with a Webpart that summarize my three most visited communities indicating
number of members, three last messages in the newsfeed, and number of posts in blog, wikis, document libraries, etc.
Do I need statistics to get this kind of information? Should I use Sharepoint Object model instead?
Here is an example of what I need:
- Community name
- Number of members
- Community activity (messages, docs uploaded to library, etc)
- Number of posts in calendar, blog, wiki that belongs to community
Thank you all!

Hi Thuan.
Thanks for your answer but it does not help me because these communities are Sharepoint Communities not external sites so I need to get that information using SP object model and BCS in this case is useless.
EDIT
I found the solution using the search objects but I was only able to get members, discussions and replies
using (ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("URL_OF_ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_CENTER"))
KeywordQuery keywordQuery = new KeywordQuery(clientContext);
keywordQuery.QueryText = "The_Name_of_the_Community WebTemplate:COMMUNITY";
SearchExecutor searchExecutor = new SearchExecutor(clientContext);
ClientResult<ResultTableCollection> results = searchExecutor.ExecuteQuery(keywordQuery);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string, object> ret = null;
foreach (System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object> resultRow in results.Value[0].ResultRows)
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1} ({2})", resultRow["CommunityMembersCount"], resultRow["CommunityTopicsCount"], resultRow["CommunitiyRepliesCount"]);
This is a Console Application.
I hope someone helps

Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

How to get the numeric value of DocTotal from UI API

When I hit the ADD button I need to get the DocTotal from the UI API !
All I have is the EditText which gives it in string and the problem is to double.Parse it
it's a pain to do it while there is CultureInfo related issue with it.
So It would be wise to get the numeric value directly from the UI API instead of getting the DocTotal by string and trying to convert it. So is there any way to get the numrci value of DocTotal from UI API ?

Hello Marc,
Here is a function which considering the Culture Info and always working. You can speed it up by using extending admininfo to global vairables, and loading the values at startup of the addon.
Use the oEditText.value.ToString() to convert into into the doulbe number:
Public Function _string2double(ByVal s As String) As Double
        Dim d As Double
' This part is fast, when regional settings equal to sap B1 settings:
        Try
            d = Convert.ToDouble(s)
            d = Math.Round(d, 6)
            Return d
        Catch
        End Try
' Speed up performance: extend CompaneService variables to global variables and query them at addon startup.
        Try
            Dim nfi As System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat
            Dim oCompanyService As SAPbobsCOM.CompanyService = oCompany.GetCompanyService()
            Dim oAdminInfo As SAPbobsCOM.AdminInfo = oCompanyService.GetAdminInfo()
            Dim sbodsep As String = oAdminInfo.DecimalSeparator
            Dim sbotsep As String = oAdminInfo.ThousandsSeparator
            If s.IndexOf(Space(1)) > 0 Then
                If oAdminInfo.DisplayCurrencyontheRight = BoYesNoEnum.tYES Then
                    s = s.Substring(0, s.IndexOf(Space(1)))
                Else
                    s = s.Substring(s.IndexOf(Space(1)), s.Length - s.IndexOf(Space(1)))
                End If
            End If
            Dim s1 As String = s.Replace(sbotsep, nfi.NumberGroupSeparator)
            s1 = s1.Replace(sbodsep, nfi.NumberDecimalSeparator)
            d = Convert.ToDouble(s)
            d = Math.Round(d, 6)
            Return d
        Catch
            Return 0
        End Try
    End Function
