Accessing AS/400 data from Forte

Dear Forte Users,
How are you accessing data stored on your AS/400 from Forte running on a
Unix node?
Here at CIBA Vision we would like to see the AS/400's physical files
(which I believe are DB2 tables) from Forte on an HP-UX 10.20 node as a
database (i.e. be able to use a DBSession object) and be able to select,
insert, update, and delete from them . Is there a simple solution like
make a DB2 resource manager on the HP-UX node and tell it to connect to
the AS/400 (I wish it were that easy). I've only researched two ways
that it could be done so far and haven't actually proven that either one
of them works (or performs) yet:
1) Use Oracle's "Transparent Gateway" to make the AS/400 look like an
Oracle remote database
2) Use Intersolv's (now Merant's) ODBC to make the AS/400 look like an
ODBC data source
IBM's Client Access 400 comes with a DLL under Windows that uses this to
make the AS/400 look like an ODBC data source. From researching Client
Access I know the AS/400 has a TCP/IP listener running on port 8471 (the
AS/400 calles it port "as-database"). What is this listener -- IBM
makes this sound like an ODBC listener? Is this an ODBC listener and if
so can any ODBC client talk to this server? Unfotunately Client Access
is only available on Windows platforms and using NT as our application
server is out of the question. IBM referred me to StarQuest, a company
who makes Client Access for Unix. However, the salesman there was
unsure if they had replicated all of the PC Client Access (including
the ODBC shared library). However, they did say they were working on
making a Unix ODBC driver that talked to the AS/400 in RDMA (or
something like that -- the DB2 native language).
Any help or insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

hi,
A linked button works the same as an edit text. Just cast the specific object of the cell in an edit text object
In C# code this gives the following
string val = ((SAPbouiCOM.EditText)mtrx.Columns.Item(colID).Cells.Item(row).Specific).Value;

is that possible to access listbox binding data from the ViewModel's SendClickCommand property ?
Krrishna

If you need to pass to the command selected item, try this
<Button Сontent="Send Post"
Сommand ="{Binding SendClickCommand}"
  CommandParameter={Binding ElementName=listMyPosts,
Path=SelectedItem}/>

Access Address Book data from terminal

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to access Address Book data from the terminal. For instance, I would
need a command that would output an address of a given person.
Thanks in advance for your input

this script could be used in Terminal (save the code below as
"getaddress" and mark it as executable):
case $# in
2) firstname=$1; lastname=$2;;
*) echo 'Usage: getaddress <firstname> <lastname>' 1>&2; exit 1 ;;
esac
count=`osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to count (people whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\")"`
case $count in
0) echo "$firstname $lastname is not in Address Book." 1>&2; exit 1;;
1) ;;
*) echo "There are multiple entries for $firstname $lastname in Address Book (unhandled error)." 1>&2; exit 1;;
esac
osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to get formatted address of address of first person whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\""

Access to EHS data from system outside of SAP

We are creating a Formulation tool in a SQL database with a Access front end which will need to use EHS Specification data and eventually push the Formulation data back into the SAP EHS Spec database.
I would like this new database to have Real-Time access to SAP data. We currently are using RFC connections with tools such as EASY-Expert and a external Rules based program Atrion as well, so I know it is possible to feed this data back and forth using XML files.
Any advice on how I should proceed and maybe some external tools for purchase that will help me do this.

Hi Beverly,
it is possible to access EH&S data from outside SAP by using the standard SAP BAPIs (e.g. BAPI_BUS1077_GETDETAIL for reading EH&S data) which are RFC enabled. Another possibility would be to develop your own RFC enabled function modules in the SAP system and call them from outside.
From your access database you can use VBA to perform the RFC call.
Best regards,
Andreas

Access netui pageflow data from javascript in a response.jsp

How do I access a pageflow variable from a javascript in a response.jsp page? I understand that the follow line can be used in a response.jsp:
<netui:label value="{pageFlow.m_applicant.createdDate}"/>, but it can not be used in a javascript of that rensponse.jsp.

Jack,
You can't directly bind to a pageFlow variable but you can store the
variable in the page using the getData tag and access it via javascript as I
have done in this example.
<netui-data:getData resultId="myId" value="{pageFlow.theString}" />
<script language="javascript">
function showAlert()
var myJpfProperty = "<%=pageContext.getAttribute(
"myId" )%>";
alert( "Here is the Jpf property value: " + myJpfProperty );
</script>
Here is some related documentation, though it doesn't show a javascript
example

How to access Previous Records' Data from within a Query?

Hi All,
I am making a report in which I need to compare my "Registration Start Date" with "Registration End Date" of previous registration of same customer. This is to check if there are gaps between any customer's registrations.
In scenario shown below, I want to filter out RegID '1' as it comes after a gap from previous registration(RegID '3') of the same customer.
RegID CustID Registration Start Registration End
1 1 01/04/2005 07/04/2005
2 2 01/03/2005 29/05/2005
3 1 21/03/2005 29/03/2005
4 1 01/03/2005 21/04/2005
I created the join of this table with itself to pick previous records. it is something like:
Current_Rec.Cust ID = Prev_Rec.CustID AND
Current_Rec.RegStart > Prev_Rec.RegEnd
But this gives wrong data if customer has 3 back-to-back registrations. i.e. Shows last registration in query results as their is a gap between 3rd and 1st registration. But ofcourse there was another record between these two(which was 2nd registration).
It would be so nice of you guys if you can suggest a solution to this. Any oracle function?
Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan

I Assume the following is your sample data
Table Name: Tab1
RegID CustID Registration_Start      Registration_End
1      1      01/04/2005           07/04/2005
2      2      01/03/2005           29/05/2005
3      1      21/03/2005           29/03/2005
4      1      01/03/2005           21/03/2005
Note : For the Regid "4" I have changed the Registration_End to 21/03/2005. It was earlier 21/04/2005.
Coming to the query, you need to generate the list of regid that have gaps.
Try the following query:
SELECT c.*
FROM tab1 c
WHERE c.reg_id NOT IN (
SELECT a.reg_id
FROM tab1 a, tab1 b
WHERE a.cust_id = b.cust_id
AND a.registration_end = b.registration_start
Note: I am sorry I didn't have access to the data base to execute my query. Correct me if I am wrong.

Accessing linkbutton cell data from a system matrix

I am using the UI SDK with SBO to develop an add-in. I am trying to access data from the matrix on the Sales Order form and I am stuck where the cell type is a link button.
I have figured out how to do it for an Edit cell and a Combobox cell using the UI SDK, but in the case of a link button, the only property available for that item type is the LinkedObject property which is a BoLinkedObject enumeration.
How whould I get the "Item No." value for example as entered in the form's matrix by the user?

hi,
A linked button works the same as an edit text. Just cast the specific object of the cell in an edit text object
In C# code this gives the following
string val = ((SAPbouiCOM.EditText)mtrx.Columns.Item(colID).Cells.Item(row).Specific).Value;

Help with accessing same keychain data from two apps with bundled appid

I have two ios apps that I'd like to share the same keychain data.
According to the apple docs, this should be possible as long as I've set up the appid with a wild card, which I did from the provisioning portal:
appid:   bundleID.*
Then, in the AIR for IOS settings of the flash ide, in the App ID field, I made the two apps be members fo the this appid: bundleID.app1 and bundleID.app2
But when I use the EncriptedLocalStore class to access the data from one of the apps that the other app stored, it isn't available.
But each app, independently, is successfully writing to/reading data from the keychain.
From what I've read, I'm doing everything right. But clearly I'm not because it isn't working.

hi dear
the link which you have send is really too helpful
but when i am using the way shown there and as directed it shows an error that
             'DataSource - Table not found'
i think this is because the temprary table we r using is neither user defined nor SBO table.
so plz tell me some way.

Accessing E sourcing Data from another application

Hi Experts,
I have a Scenario in which i need to access the data such as Current Rfx,Pending Approvals,My Request List from SAP E sourcing application and display it one some other applications dashboard .Also i need to implement single-sign to access E sourcing from the other application. Please suggest me with any idea or document link .
Thanks abd Regards,
Piyush S

Hi Anders Ohlund,
You can pool the data from one application to anothers. You can use the syntax :
*DESTINATION_APP
*ADD_DIM
*RENAME_DIM
note:
*ADD_DIM, using this syntax if your application needs add dimension.
*RENAME_DIM, using this syntax if your application needs rename the dimension name.
I hope the above step can help you to solve your problem. If you have any problem please let me know.
Thanks,

Accessing Datagrid row data from within an itemRenderer

I would like to know how I can access another row's data from within an itemRenderer. I need to do some formatting of my cells based on other row data. Here's what I mean... I have a datagrid and in row 0 col 2's itemRenderer I would like to access row 1 col 1's data in order to do a comparison so I can determine how to format row 0 col 2's data and so on. Is there a way from within the item renderer to reach into another row and access the data? I can't seem to find a clear answer so I thought I'd go to the pro's.
Thanks!!

You can use this code to get to the dataProvider of the grid.
var o:Object = this.parent.parent;
var dp:Object = o.dataProvider;

How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X. all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer. When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS. How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive? The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get. I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.

Are there any APIs to access user personalization data from java

Hi gurus,
We want to access personalization data for a user from java using API. This includes user mapping also.
If you are aware of any api please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pratik Thakkar

Hi Pratik,
You can also retrieve a system object and get the user mapping for the system:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
ISystem pcdSys =(ISystem)iCtx.lookup(sysId);
ISystemUserMappingData um = pcdSys.getUserMappingData(request.getUser());
From this object you can get the user, password and other properties.
As for personalized values of iView attributes, you can an environmental value before create the initial context to indicate to return personalized value, as follows:
env.put(IPcdContext.PCD_PERSONALIZATION_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
Hope this helps.
Daniel
