Newbie who want to use Java API for OLAP

Hi all,
I'm trying to learn how to use Java API for Oracle 10.2 OLAP. I went through the Java OLAP API user guide and I'm getting even more confused. Can somebody guide me to some good online materials?
Many thanks!

Image not displayed in pdf generated using Java API for Forms service

Hi,
I am creating a pdf document using Java API for Forms Service.
I am able to generate the pdf but the images are not visible in the generated pdf.
The image relative path is coming in the xml as defined below. The images are stored dynamically in the Livecycle repository each time a request is fired with unique name before the xml is generated.
<imageURI xfa:contentType="image/png" href="../Images/logo.png"></imageURI>
Not sure if I need to specify specify specific URI values that are required to render a form with image.
The same thing is working when I generate pdf document using Java API for Output Service.
As, I need to generate interactive form, I have to use Forms service to generate pdfs.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Below is the code snippet:
 //Create a FormsServiceClient object
 FormsServiceClient formsClient = new FormsServiceClient(myFactory);
 //Specify URI values that are required to render a form
 URLSpec uriValues = new URLSpec();
 // Template location contains the whole rpository path for the form
 uriValues.setContentRootURI(templateLocation);
 // The base URL where form resources such as images and scripts are located. Whole Image path is passed in BaseUrl in the http format.
 String baseLocation = repositoryPath.concat(serviceName).concat(imagesPath);
 uriValues.setBaseURL(baseLocation);
 // Set run-time options using a PDFFormRenderSpec instance
 PDFFormRenderSpec pdfFormRenderSpec = new PDFFormRenderSpec();
 pdfFormRenderSpec.setCacheEnabled(new Boolean(true));
 pdfFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.client.AcrobatVersio n.Acrobat_8);
 //Invoke the renderPDFForm method and write the
 //results to a client web browser
 String tempTemplateName =templateName;
 FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(tempTemplateName,
 inXMDataTransformed,pdfFormRenderSpec,uriValues,null);
 //Create a Document object that stores form data
 Document outputDocument = formOut.getOutputContent();
 InputStream inputStream = outputDocument.getInputStream();

How to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?

because i can't install standalone oracle workflow successfully.
pls tell me how to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?
are there some patch or pulg-in package?
ths a lot...........

The Java Function Activity Agent is not certified for Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications. Installing standalone workflow should be a lot easier than what you have found, although it looks like you did hit a Pentium 4 issue with the Oracle Universal Installer. I suggest you contact Oracle Support or Oracle Consulting for assistance.

For all the newbies who wants to learn Java

I was a newbie like 4 months ago. i have some skills of OOP in C++ like 2 years back but since then i did'nt took any of programming language courses. I have experience in MSaccess and MYsql. i did my internship Last summer with Tennessee Education Lottery as a Database Analyst. At that time i realized what a Corporate Enviorment looks like. Trust me it was a formal interview and i passed it and they placed me in the IT department to write some scripts for the GUI terminal and at the same time create a Company Security Database. i did completed my project but i had to Learn Mysql. and then i realized Java was getting very popular. alot of people told me in the forums to go Java tutorial but i will not agree to start from the sun tutorial. you can do it only if you have a good or may be medium experience of OOP. it was really tough for me and then this magic guy came on the forum and told me to go on this website if you want to learn Java.
http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/cs151java.html
This site is a brilliant site specially the exercise problems and the quizes really attracted me to Java alot and now i came to realize how easy it is to program in Java rather than C++. Java forums have helped me alot in solving those exercise problems (not with the code but with a good explanation) which was very helpful for me. out of my 210 post i guess i have helped 30 people out and the rest of the questions are regarding those exercises. i came to know encapsulation, inheritance and all that stuff. though i am still not very perfect like i am still having trouble with ComparTo thing but it takes more practice. the more you practice the more you learn. so all the newbies if you really want to learn java even if you dont have any experience in OOp this is the site where you need to start. Hope this will definitely help you alot. thanks to all the Senior members navycoder, captain, paulcw, duffy, turingpest and others also who have helped me in the past. without you i would have not achieved the goal of learning java. now my next step is going to be learn GUI programming Swing. looks fun to me. but at the same time i have my final project for this semester to make on ONline Testing program which will have a database, php scripting and html and xml.
I will post if i have any problems

For people who wants to use java with version of palmos before 3.5.

The new version of kjava for palmos (MIDP) you can found on java.sun.com only works if
you use a version fo palmos greater than 3.5. If not you need to use the presious
virtual machine kvm and KvmUtil.
You need the two following files :
          j2me_cldc-1_0-src-winsol.zip
          j2me_cldc-1_0-src-palm_overlay.zip

Damn, have been looking for this a very long time...
But euhm, crappy tripod server! Downloading is always timing-out.
Couldn't you put it on another (faster) server?
Or perhaps somebody who did manage to download the .zips could place it somewhere else?

Using Java API for integer search

I have an integer array and need to check whether a given integer is in the array or not repeatedly. If I need to code by myself, I likely would sort the array first and apply binary search against the sorted array. Since Java already provides some APIs to achieve this goal, I am wondering what is a combining API set for the fastest operation.

Setting Multiple values in property set using java API

Hello All,
I want to set the properties of a profile in a property set using java API provided
in package p13n. The property can have multiple values. When I try to add the
property using ProfileManager.setProperty() method. But every time I do it this
way, it replaces the earlier value of property and not added. This, I can achieve
using portalTools but I want to use the API for user registration on the site.
I hope the query is clear.
Waiting for a response,
Thanks in advance,
Shrinivas

You need to use java.util.ArrayList.
First cast the existing value into ArrayList using getProperty method,
change values in the ArrayList and then put them back with setProperty
method.

How to upload Image to MDM 5.5 SP3 using Java APIs

Hi,
I am trying to upload Image to Images table in MDM 5.5 using JAVA API for MDM. But. I'm not able to find particular field in Images table where I need to set the Blob object ( Image data ).
I'm not aware of the method to set the Blob, there is one for getting the Image data.
I have gone through I am not able to add images into Catalog thru java API forums posts and tried the code. But with no luck....
I think this code is for some other MDM version as the fields mentioned are not present in the Images table e.g. DataObject - this field is used in the above posts to set the Blob data but this field does not exist in Images table in MDM 5.5
Can anyone suggest the solution?
Thanks and Regards,
Mausam

Hi Mausam,
Please try the following:
// adding to a image table
// get the bytes for the image
byte[] imageBuf = readFile("C:\pic.bmp");
// setup A2iFields
fields = new A2iFields();
fields.Add(new A2iField("DataObject", new
Value(imageBuf))); // the image binary (required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("Name", new Value("pic.bmp")));
// a name for the image
fields.Add(new A2iField("OrigName", new
Value("pic.bmp"))); // the original image file name
(required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("DataGroupId", new Value(888)));
// the data group to add to (required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("OrigLocationId", new
Value(999))); // the data location of the image
(required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("Description", new Value("a
short description"))); // a short description here
// add the image
String imageTable = "Images";
catalog.AddRecord(imageTable, fields, -1, -1);
It's taken out of the API guide for SP3 (the example for method AddRecord.
Best regards,
Amit

Essbase Java Api for Filters

Hi all,I am using Java Apis for Essbase 7.1. I am using following Api for Database Filters to get the "Access Level". IEssCube.IEssSecurityFilter.getAccess()Gets the default filter access level. However the doumentation does not provide any information about the value returned by this Api and its meaning.Please can you tell what each integer value returned by this Api represents..Thanks.

I believe the values are documented in IEssCube.EEssCubeAccess.Be aware the security filter class is marked 'for future use' in the docs:The IEssSecurityFilter is cube security filter. (FOR FUTURE USE). That may mean it is not fully tested or perhaps not even fully implemented.Tim TowApplied OLAP, Inc

Can i create more than one attributes for the custom class created using java API

Hello everyone,
I have been creating class and its attributes programatically using java APIs, I want to know that is there any way to create multipal attributs for the same class in just one call of API with all the options for each attributes,
thanks

You can create a new class and define all of the Attributes at the time the class is created - this is the preferred way of creating classes. Use the addAttributeDefinition() method on ClassObjectDefinition. If you need to add attributes to existing classes, you can only add them one at a time (using the addAttribute() method on ClassObject).

GetSelectedFields() for time stamp and user stamp using java api

using Java API's
getSelectedFields() returns NULL value if values presented also, for Time stamp and User stamp
properties in Flat tables , is there any other alternative way to get the SelectedFields values ?
Edited by: Vijaya Sekhar Reddy Alla on Mar 19, 2008 3:16 PM

Well, I can't say I solved the problem, because I got another one afterwards.
As usually I created a GetFieldListCommand, set its needed attributes and executed it. Then I read all the field properties out:
FieldProperties[] fieldProp = getFieldListCommand.getFields();
Afterwards it is possible to do what you want. Using a for-loop.
for (FieldProperties fp : fieldProperties) {
UserStampFieldProperties usfp = (UserStampFieldProperties) fp; // <= Cast error
FieldId[] fieldIDs = usfp.getSelectedFields();
And this is what I get now:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sap.mdm.schema.fields.FixedWidthTextFieldProperties cannot be cast to com.sap.mdm.schema.fields.UserStampFieldProperties
Why this happens, I don't know. But it should somehow be solveable.

Use MDM java Api for saving an image to mdm image table

Hi experts
I want to save an image from web dynpro java to MDM image table using java Api's
Can anyone provide a code snippet .
I am using MDM 7.1 sp6.
Thanks and regards
Suresh

Hello Suresh
Unfortunatly, this is no possible, i mean, to load images to mdm repository through JAVA API.
Sure you can do it directly to database ( but for that you need to do saome investigation)
Here you can found JAVA API classes for MDM:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM71/
Next two classes are working with BLOBs (pdf, images, video, etc.) in MDM repository:
com.sap.mdm.blobs
com.sap.mdm.blobs.commands

Need Sample Code for Vendor creation using JAVA API

Hi,
I have a scenario like Vendor creation using Java API.
1.I have Vendors (Main) Table.
2.I have look up tables like Account Group.
3.Also Qualifier table(Phone numbers) too.
Could you please give me the sample code which helps me to create Vendor records using Java API?
I need Code samples which should cover all of the above scenario.
Marks will be given for the relevent answers.

How to change the parameter 'Default Servers To Use For Viewing And Modification' using java api dynamically.

Hi,
I need to change the Crystal Reports setting 'Default Servers To Use For Viewing And Modification' to a particular server.this i need to do using java api.
could you pls provide me the sample code for this.
Regards
Srinivas

The IReport interface extends IViewingServerGroupInfo interface, that allows you to specify the server group.
The choice selection for that interface is as follows: 0 = first available, 1 = prefer the selected server group, and 2 = only use the selected server group.
The server group selection is by the SI_ID for that server group InfoObject.
Sincerely,
