ncRequest.setActivity("NC500_part");
ncRequest.setSfcRef(new SFCBOHandle(site, sfc).toString());
ncRequest.setValidateNCCodeOperation(true);
// defined NCCODE: NCJPN1
ncRequest.setNcCodeRef(new NCCodeBOHandle(site,"NCJPN1").toString());
ncRequest.setDefectCount(new BigDecimal("3"));
CreateNCResponse ncResponse = ncPSI.createNC(ncRequest);
DispositionRequest disRequest = new DispositionRequest();
disRequest.setActivity("NC500_part"); //what can be set for this Activity, NC500_part is OK?
disRequest.setSfcRef(new SFCBOHandle(site, sfc).toString());
ProductionContext productionCtx = new ProductionContext();
productionCtx.setResourceRef(new ResourceBOHandle(site, "COIL").toString());
disRequest.setProdCtx(productionCtx);
DispositionSelection disSelection = new DispositionSelection();
//DispositionSelection is must need, but what shuold be set?
disSelection.setXXXX();
disRequest.setDispositionSelection(disSelection);
disRequest.setNcCodeRef(new NCCodeBOHandle(site,"NCJPN1").toString());
disRequest.setTotalDefectCount(new BigDecimal("3"));
// DispositionNC

I need to know what are API we can use to create download+upload ADI? anyone has already prepared script....please share it it me. My email id - [email protected]
Thanks

Use FNDLOAD, it's the only way.
There are 2 seperate scripts, 1 for the Integrator and 1 for Layout.
FNDLOAD apps/<pw> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bneintegrator.lct <your name>.ldt BNE_INTEGRATORS INTEGRATOR_ASN="XXX" INTEGRATOR_CODE="<your code>"

How we create new data base in oracle 10g express edition

hello every body.. i student of B tech n new user of oracle so please help me how we creat new data base in oracle 10g express edition

Hello, Oracle XE can not create more than one instance, the other editions yes, but like other editions XE allows you to create database schemas, schemas logically grouped objects like tables, views, indexes created by a user. By creating an Oracle user is associated with a schema of the same name.
Using SYS or system accounts for creating user accounts.
Syntax to create a user:
create user Your_user
IDENTIFIED BY password
default tablespace users;
grant connect, resources to your_user;

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,
akulala

How to create a single report using 5 difftent reports

Hi Experts
how to create a single report using 5 repors in it.
Example
I have to create a Survey history report using
Reports like Surevy 1
                  Surevy 2
                  Surevy 3
                  Surevy 4
                  Surevy 5
Please suggest me.
Santosh

Use Analysis Process Designer (RSANWB) to feed each of the survey BEX reports to one DSO. Assuming each of the surveys has something in common to compare. Could also be used as a snapshot storage for the surveys in case history needs to be compared/archived.
Build the Direct update DSO with the survey objects. Add needed time characteristics and/or version control objects to the key.
Data sources will be the 5 surveys.
Add formula to hardcode version/time for history.
Data target is the direct update DSO.

How to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air

I have MacBook Air and also Apple Supper drive for the same. can u help me to find dvd/cd burrning and copy software. and also guide me "how to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air"

First to create a video DVD you need to use DVD authoring software like iDVD. You can purchase it from the online Apple Store while supplies last.
For creating a disk image use Disk Utility.
To burn items to a CD or data DVD just insert the disc in the optical drive and drag those items onto the disc icon on the Desktop. Then drag the disc icon to the Trash icon in the Dock which changes to a Burn icon.

How to create a new plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?

How to create our own plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?is there any documents available for this?

Sure. (Didn't Google find anything?)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
But you don't "use" InDesign to write plugins. You need a C++ compiler and a lot of programming knowledge and experience with C++. If this means nothing to you, don't look any further -- it's way too complicated to "go and get started" at random. Adobe's documentation is not intended for learners, starters, and people who shrink back at the thought of having to read multiple help documents that are each a couple of megabytes large.
Using the SDK is so complicated there's even a part of the forum dedicated to it, aptly (and obviously) called InDesign SDK. If you browse the messages in there, you can get an idea of the most common pitfalls and problems.
If the above scares you off, well, that was fully intentional (sorry, but it is). It's by far easier to write scripts. Scripts have several advantages over plugins:
1. They are platform independent (Javascripts are; AppleScript is just for Macs and Visual Basic is just for Windows). Plugins are exclusively platform dependent. To write the same plugin for both Windows and for Mac, you have to know all the pitfalls of changing code from one platform to another, and you need a complete working compiler and development system for both platforms.
2. They are version independent. Simple scripts work on a fairly great range of InDesign versions -- some of my own scripts date back to CS, and are totally or virtually unchanged. It's even possible to force "too old" scripts to work with newer versions.
3. Scripts can do most of the things a plugin can do. The main difference used to be that plugins allow you to write a fully integrated look-and-feel part of InDesign, but with the advance of ScriptUI and event handlers and menu customization, you come quite far. Only for highly specialized functions you still need a real plugin (custom item integration, custom spell and hyphenation modules, stuff like that).
4. The scripting community is very active -- it also has a forum of its own, called (well, obviously) InDesign Scripting -- and are a friendly lot, always ready to help. (Unless you whine about how to do every little thing. (That is, I can't stand that personally. Others may not mind.))
5. Scripting is easy. ... not really, but it is fairly easy, and compared to writing a custom plugin in C++, it's a breeze, a walk in the park, and a summer stroll all rolled into one.
