Adding objects to an object package

I am using DESKi XI and I am trying to add a .rep report to the CMC so I can schedule it every day in InfoView.
On page 189 of the BO Enterprise Administrator's Guide it says to open the object package in the CMC, click the New Object button and a list of object tabs will appear. It says to click on the appropriate tab, REPORT or PROGRAM.
I see icons on the left side of the window for Program, Microsoft Excel and Word, Adobe, Text, Rich Text, Power Point and hyperlink. Nothing for "Report". If I select Program or any of the other choices a browse window comes up so you can identify the location of the object. When I identify the .rep file I get an error warning that it did not expect a .rep extension, do you want to continue? I have said yes, but when scheduling the object it never runs.
There are other DESKi objects that came with this copy of our CMC, so I know you can load a .rep object...Please help...

Thank you for getting me on track...I just searched for every reference to EXPORT in that Admin guide and didn't see this anywhere in the document. I just went to the Deski Access and Analysis guide and found the instructions you referenced.
I have successfully exported the files and successfully scheduled them from InfoView. I have a follow-on problem, but I will put it in a new thread so you get credit for solving another problem if you want to...
Thank you very much!

Error: Component failed to run due to a Object Package scheduling failure

Hi,
BusinessObjects XI R2 SP 5, FP 5.1
I am trying to schedule a group of reports (crystal reports) via a package where the output destination is to an email. At the event of execution of the scheduled time for the package; the package fails with the error: Component failed to run due to a Object Package scheduling failure. (Note: When scheduled individually it is successful and it was copied to the package from its original location, so there is no mistake in parameters or ODBC connections)
When we go to the history and within the instance, we see that some of the reports have the status as success and some are failed with the same error message. Even though some of the reports are made to fail at the event of 'NO DATA'; what I do not understand is that how come some of the other reports (which contains data and which works when trying to run manually or scheduled individually) are failing.
I would understand something is wrong when the entire package fails which is not the case here as say of 50 reports, 5 are successful and the rest fails with the same error.

Sorry posted on the wrong section...

Issue in scheduling of object packages

Below is detail description of problem:
===============================================
Earlier Requirement:Need to schedule 350 copies of a report with a different parameter (Branch#) for each one of them and run them every month.
Solution we implemented: 7 Object packages with 50 reports each that run serially every month-end
[Current Problem: We need to add a column to the report, which means modifying 350 reports, which will be an effort whenever there is a need for change.
Help we need:: Is there any easy way to mass-schedule reports and maintain them easily as well using BO XI R2? We're open to third party tools etc.
==============================================
Please help me in this.
Thanks,
Swapnil Rodge.

1. How can I identify input FRS location for report file? Also since there are 350 reports, I need to identify locations of 350 reports. How can I do it?
1. (Answer):
You could use the SDK to build a spreadsheet which pulls the relevant information for the objects. Alternatively, you could use the query tool to identify the FRS location and dump the results into Excel. Use excel formula to build the copy commands for the batch file.
2. What s batch file? How can I crerate batch file to copy modified report file to 350 report files present in different 350 locations? Also it will be litile bit risky to touch input FRS folder.
2.(Answer): Yes, it is risky. Makes sure you know what you are doing before proceeding. If you don't know what a batch file is and you don't know how to query the CMS then I wouldn't advise using this method. Your best bet is to invest in a third party tool.
Also let me know if APOS Bursting Manager has free version or we need to buy it?
(Answer):
There might be a trial version. Check the website.

Error Adding object to collection

Hi all... I'm using Toplink + ADF Faces...
We have the following problem: There are 2 tables involved, table A and table B
Table B has a FK to table A, therefore a one-to-one mapping from B to A and a one to many mapping (collection) from A to B.
What I want to do is to add an object of type B to the collection of an A object. I'm showing an input form for the constructor of type B, a submit button, and a read only table bellow to show the items of the collection. I have done this several times and worked fine, now I have NO clue why this is not working.
What I used to do to achieve this is to call the method of the type A "addB(B)" (to add the object) and then the "Execute" operation (to refresh the table shown) of the collection in which the addB method is adding objects.
What I get is just:
2006-11-17 13:53:30.421 WARNING JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.NullPointerException, msg=null
2006-11-17 13:53:30.421 WARNING java.lang.NullPointerException
and no more details.... :-S
Does anyone know why this could be happening???
or
Is there some other way of adding objects to a collection using ADF and toplink?? Any suggestion is more than welcome!! I've been trying for too long to solve this... :-(
Thanks in advance

Here is another symptom:
a few days ago, I developed a search page of objects of type "C". This type, has a collection of objects of type "B". This page is working fine, now... I do exactly the same steps to create a new page with the same search functionallity, and I get the same NullPointerException described above (with no extra information).
Since the development of that working page until now, I manually added the mapping of table "A", which was not mapped by the time we developed the working search page. So I guess something is wrong with this new mapping.
Here are the steps i did to map the new table "A" and define the relationship with table B (through a foreing key defined in DB):
- created Java objects from tables for table "A".
- added a FK from "B"->"A" in table "B" in the Offline Database Sources (just like the FK in the real DB)
- added a ValueHolder attribute to class "B" (with the appropiate get and set, and initializing it in the constructor of class "B")
- added a List attribute in class "A" of objects of type "B" (with the appropiates add, remove, get and set methods), and initializing the List as a new ArrayList in the constructor.
- in the toplink map, mapped the new attributes:
one-to-one for the Valueholder in class "B" (using the appropiate FK)
one-to-many for the List attributes in class "A" (using the appropiate FK)
- refreshed all possible datacontrol
And thats it... am I doing something wrong or missing something??
Is there any other way to map a new table into an existing toplink mapping? I'm using Jdev 10.1.3 Integrated workbench...
I will really appreciate any suggestion or comment, I really have no clue why this is happening.... Thanks in advance

Adding objects to list

Hi,
I am new java. I have a probelm adding objects to list. This is the following code.
class Test{
List <>dataList = new ArrayList<>();
public List<A> getAList(){
dataList.add(new A());
return dataList ;
public List<B> getBList(){
dataList.add(new B());
return dataList;
}In the above code what I will pass<parameterized data> to the dataList decalred as member variable?

nothing common for A and B. Both A and B are different pojos. but we can tell A and B extends from Object.I tried like that
way. But it is not working. <? extends from Object>.Both two methods have to be in the same classYou do in that case have a bad design. Why is the same list used for both. It can't be type safe so you need to cast and the user of the list might get classcast exceptions during iteration.

Hi Kamil,
I'm guessing you are talking about encountering these issues post MLR# 7 patch.
Here are some of the things ypu could start off with:
1. Check your LS Inventory to see if your patch was applied successfully
2. Ensure that all the post installation steps were performed (in the readme file)
3. You could rollback this patch and check if you are still getting the same error.
4. After rollback, if your config works fine, rerapply the patch again and observe the effects.
Thanks & Regards,
Suhas.

CRS XI Rel 2 - Object Packages

Hello All,
Can the job execution order be controlled in an object package? We have a group of reports that have dependencies, so they need to run is a specific sequence. Is this possible?

you can not specify processing order on packages you can however create processing dependencies by setting up schedule events.. if you have several reports this could become a maintenance nightmare

Object Package with Email Notifications not working

I have an object package with 10 reports in it. I want Edge to send email notices to the customers when each report is ready to be viewed. But it will only send an email for the first report not any of the others. Any ideas on why the other notifications aren't being sent out?

I found out this is a known issue. The "Schedule For" option is not supported for object packages. I worked around it by setting success and failure events and then scheduling an email to be sent when one of the events occurs.

Adding Object Mannully Vs. Adding Object in SU24 for Tranaction

All,
What is the diff. between Adding a missing Object Mannully in PFCG Vs. Adding Object in SU24 for Tranaction ?
What is the diff. between chaning Vaule for a missing Object Mannully in PFCG Vs. Changing a value in SU24 for a Auth Ojbect ?
Please let me know.
From
PT.

Hi PT,
There is no direct link between transactions and the auth objects assigned to them via PFCG. Things like config and the way transaction are used have an impact on how the auths are evaluated for a given transaction.
As you know, we use SU24 to update the SAP delivered values to meet the auth checks in our particular implementations or as per our requirements. What this enables us to do is to ensure that when we enter a transaction, all the relevant auth objects and where appropriate fixed values are pulled through (so if you know that different usages of that tx requires different values then add the object in SU24 but leave the relevant field blank). If you remove that transaction from the role, the auths that are also required are removed from the role too, as long as the role is not in Manual or Changed status.
If you manually add the auth object then you have no link with the transaction/s that are required to run the object. You can remove the transaction and the auth object value will remain in the role. If not properly managed, you can end up with excess auths still present in roles, particularly with the S_* objects and in areas like FI where it is very easy to skip between transactions through menu options where there is no S_TCODE check, with the auth object check being the only controlling one.
Manually entered objects definitely have their uses as long as they are properly documented and managed when maintaining roles.

Please do not jump to conclusions and make assumptions here like 'when will people finally get it??'. I never said it was a benchmark. I have also seen many examples of where it's results do not go with conventional performance. I have a Radeon 9000 that goes faster on glxgears than a Geforce FX 5600 running Nouveau. Which is the faster card? The FX by miles. It is not a benchmark as it can not be compared between configurations. What I know is that on this individual system, from prior experience over many years when 3D acceleration is working glxgears gets between 300 and 400 fps. When it is not working it gets less than 10. That is a fact but does not mean it is benchmarkable. Yes, a Quake 3 timedemo (I have these numbers too and they very much correlate to glxgears performance for this system given just how slow it is) would be a benchmark but when it runs less than 0.1fps and even the 2D rendering means that navigating the menu is impossible, there just isn't the time to find out. Hence if playing around with drivers on this system I would use glxgears to check that 3D acceleration is working but not to benchmark. Glxinfo does not give you all this evidence.
But to clarify, I wouldn't use glxgears as a benchmark, benchmarking is different and I do a lot of that too.

Problem with adding objects to a collection

Hi
Been using this forum for a couple of years now to help me with my code, but it's the first time that I've had a problem which I couldn't find the answer for!
I'm trying to create two classes one called Reminder and one called Engagement. The Reminder class needs to hold a list of Engagement objects, but whenever I add a new Engagement object to the ArrayList I have created in Reminder and try to retreive it I get a null value.
If anyone can give me an idea of where I have gone wrong that would be most helpful,
Thank you in advance,
Steve
Code:
package reminder;
import java.util.*;
public class Reminder{
    private GregorianCalendar date       = null;
    private String            reason     = null;
    private Engagement        engagement = null;
    private List<Engagement> appointments;
    private int year = 0;
    private int month = 0;
    private int day = 0;
    public Reminder() { //the constructor
        appointments = new ArrayList<Engagement>();
    } //end constructor
    public void add(int d, int m, int y, String r){ //this method takes an engagement object and adds it to the list
    //public void add(Engagement engagement){
        day   = d;
        month = m;
        year = y;
        reason = r;
        appointments.add(new Engagement (new GregorianCalendar(y,m,d), reason));
        System.out.println(day + "-" + month + "-" + year);//(new Engagement (date, reason));
        appointments.add(new Engagement(new GregorianCalendar(2008,4,2), "My first appointment"));
        System.out.println("\nThere are this number of items in the list: " + appointments.size()); //this was to check the item was added
    public void getAppointments(){
        //private int arrayPosition = 0;
        //Iterator it = appointments.iterator();
        for (Iterator it = appointments.iterator(); it.hasNext();){
            System.out.println(it.next());//.appointments.toString());
            //it.next();
package reminder;
import java.util.*;
import reminder.*;
public class Engagement{
    private GregorianCalendar date = null;
    private String reason = null;
    /** Creates a new instance of Engagement */
    public Engagement(GregorianCalendar d, String r) {
        date   = d;
        reason = r;
    public String getReason() {
        System.out.println(reason);
        return null;
public class Main { //main class to test the other classes
    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Reminder reminderList = new Reminder(); //create an instance of Reminder
        reminderList.add(2,4,2008, "My first appointment");
        reminderList.add(6,10,2009, "My second appointment");
        reminderList.add(2,4,2007, "My third appointment");
        reminderList.getAppointments();
}

Hi Guys
Just wanted to let you know that I have realised where I went wrong, if you look in the Engagement class there is a method called toString(); which just has a return value of null, that is why I was getting the null values!
Sorry for wasting your time, it took me three hours to realise why it wasn't working before I contacted you and about an hour after I posted I realised what the problem was.
One other thing... why is reminderList bad naming? I was going to call the instance reminder but because the class holds a list of objects I thought I'd call it reminderList..
Thanks
Steve

Adding objects to the stage & acceessing stage properties - I'm a bit confused..

Hi,
I'm a little confused on two fronts regarding display
programming:
A. What the best way to add objects to the stage?
B. How to access stage properties.
I can do both of these when the project is an 'Action Script
Project', but I'm having trouble when it is a 'Flex Project' (e.g.
an MXML file). See the two attached files with questions included
in the comment to see exactly what I mean.
A. What the best way to add objects to the stage?
=====================================
In an action script project that extends Sprite I can just
call addChild()
In an MXML project I can add objects to the stage by first
adding them to a UIComponent, then adding that to the stage.
1. Is that the best way to do it?
In this doc:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05_Display_Programming_02.html
it says that
quote:
Each SWF file has an associated ActionScript class, known as
the main class of the SWF file. When Flash Player opens a SWF file
in an HTML page, Flash Player calls the constructor function for
that class and the instance that is created (which is always a type
of display object) is added as a child of the Stage object. The
main class of a SWF file always extends the Sprite class
2. why cant I just add a sprite object direct to the stage
without the UIComponent?
3. What is the 'main class', and how can i get access to it?
B. How to access stage properties.
=========================
In an action script project that extends Sprite I can just
call trace(stage.framerate)
But in an MXML file I cannot figure out how to access the
stage properties.
See the attached code for the things that I tried, but which
didnt work.
In the page:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140655
It says
quote:
For stage access you have a couple of rules:
* natively, only display objects have inherent access to
stage
* display objects only have a valid reference to stage if
they're within the stage's display list (on the screen, after added
to it with addChild)
* The only display objects which immediately have access to
the stage before the use of addChild (in their constructor) are the
document/application class instance (root) and any instance from
the library placed on the timeline (not created with AS).
* Non-display object classes have to be passed or assigned a
reference to the stage from another object which already has access
to it - they cannot access it otherwise.
4. How do I access the stage properties in the MXML project?
5. I suspect this is related to the "main class", which I
dont yet understand - is it?
Sorry for the long post.
cheers

I created a vector and added objects, but the vector is empty

I created an object called a facility, it accepts 2 strings in the creator but stores the data as a string and a float. as you can see from the code below, i have tried to create a vector object to contain facilitys and named it entries. when i add objects to this vector, the vectors size does not change, and i cannot access elements of it via their index. but when i print the vector out i can see the elements? what is going on here. i am very confused. ps, if it helps i havent worked with vectors much before.
FacilitysTest.java
import java.util.*;
public class FacilitysTest {
     public static void main (String [] args) {
     Facilitys entries = new Facilitys();
     entries.add("Stage","3.56");
     entries.add("kitchen","5.00");
     entries.add("heating","2");
//     System.out.println(entries.firstElement() );
     System.out.println("printing out entries");
     System.out.println(entries);
     System.out.println();
     System.out.println("There are "+entries.size()+" entries");
     System.out.println();
     System.out.println("modifying entry 2");
     entries.setElementAt(new Facility("lighting","1.34"), 2);
     System.out.println(entries);
     System.out.println();
     System.out.println("deleting entry 1");
     entries.remove(1);
     System.out.println(entries);
}the following is what happens when i run this code.
the number (0,1,2) is taken from a unique number assigned to the facility and is not anything to do with the facilitys position in the vector.
printing out entries
Facility number: 0, Name: Stage , Cost/Hour: 3.56
Facility number: 1, Name: kitchen , Cost/Hour: 5.0
Facility number: 2, Name: heating , Cost/Hour: 2.0
There are 0 entries

         entries.add((new Facility( name, price) ));
    public Facility get(int index) {
          return ((Facility)entries.get(index));
     public float total() {
          float total = 0;
          for (int i = 0; i<entries.size();i++) {
               total = total + ( (Facility)entries.get(i) ).getPricePerHour();
          return total;
    public String toString( ) {
        StringBuffer temp = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < entries.size(); ++i) {
            temp.append( entries.get(i).toString() + "\n" );
        return temp.toString();
}

are you reffering to where i have public class
Facilitys extends Vector {
     private Vector entries;
     public Facilitys( ) {
             entries = new Vector();
That's correct. That's your problem.
i added the extends Vector, because without it i got
the following errors
C:\Documents and Settings\george\My
Documents\University\JavaCode\CM0112\FacilitysTest.jav
a:14: cannot find symbol

Adding objects into query Panel and no display report

Hi Folks,
I had an issue with WEBI .
Iam running the report with few objects at first time , all objects are displayed in the table format of report.
I saved and closed the report .
Later i opened the report and edited the report by adding new objects into query panel and runing it.
but this time i did not find the new objects in display table in report as like DeskI.
If we find the solution for this , it will be great help to me.
Thanks
Mahesh

The objects will be in the data tab. Objects are not automatically added to your report in Webi, they are made available in the data panel, and you can choose which objects to add.
