Advice on Layouts

Hi all,
after some advice...
I'm writing an applet that has a drawing area (extending JPanel). I want to be able to add JLabel objects to the drawing area as I go along, and think it best to do without using a layout manager.
I can add the labels OK if I leave the drawing area with its default layout manager, but when I use drawingarea.setLayout(null); I don't then seem to be able to add the labels- I'm adding them and then using label.setBounds(x, y, width, height); Can setBounds not be used for JLabels? Or is it likely that I'm making a stoopid mistake. Any advice would be appreciated, because you are all genii and I'm a dense newbie Javachick. :D

If youre setting them dynamically from actionPerformed() try ending with this with the word:-
validate(); // or
myPanel.validate();
This causes the init() or start() to be updated in a similar way to paint() updates java.awt.Graphics

Need advice on layout

BACKGROUND:
Using CF9 and FB4, I'm building an image catalog. Data about the images is stored in a database (Firebird). The images themselves are stored in files in my file system. (M$ Windows XP Pro). In an attempt to allow the user to control which images are displayed, my search function retrieves a list of image descriptions, text only, in a DataGrid, that occupies only the left half of the screen. (Forcing the user to wait until all 140 images download and display is not good). The user can then select which images they want to see by "doing an action" (which I haven't decided yet, like clicking the DataGrid, double clicking the DataGrid, selecting then click a button, etc) then I want to display the image file and the associated image record, together, in a logical grouping, in another panel on the right hand side of the screen. All the controls for finding image records, and displaying image descriptions, (IOW the Left side of the screen) is all done, and mostly working (except for the data bound tab labels which Adobe is working to fix as I type this). It's the righ hand side of the screen that I have not begun yet.
QUESTION:
I'm at a loss as to where to begin. Do I use a DataGrid? If so, how to I display an image file which is not part of the table in the back end DB. Do I make another custom column to hold the image then load the image? If so, how do I load the image in the proper record? (Code snippet please). Also, how would you suggest I fetch the image record data from the DB? (One at a time via the unique record ID?) Ok, but how? The only return types available from a CF function is String, Date, Number etc.... no "Image" I would need to see the code for the CF Function as well as the ActionScript that would call it, in order to load the correct image into the correct record of... oh ya, that's my other question, what holds the data that the DataGrid on the right side of the screen (the one that displays images) uses as a dataProvider? A temporary "in memory" table? What would that be called? Can a data grid display an image in a row?
Maybe that's all too complicated. Is there a smarter simpler "standard" way of doing this? In all of the Flex 3 component demos, all the data for all the cool images in a grid type layout pattern was hard coded into the example.
Do I have to build my own component? If so, what "container" do I put them in, in FB4, that would allow them to be shown in a scrollable grid/grouping? (The user may select more images than can be displayed on the screen at one time)
I don't want to waste a bunch of time experimenting. I'm sure there must be a common, standard way of displaying images and associated data, in a "grid" type layout, based on user selection from another control.
(Example: Each time the user clicks on an item in the DataGrid that contains the image description, a new object (or record?) is created that displays the image on the right hand side of the screen. The user may select one out of 20 descriptions, or more, or may select all. In any case the user must be in control of which images get rendered on screen, so that they may control their "wait time")
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

ntsiii can you elaborate on what an AIP is? Maybe I'm already
using it and just don't know what it is?
I was planning on declaring a dataservice with an
arrayCollection of the data to populate the grids (i'm using CF as
my backend). To create new records I was going to use a
ds.createItem(item) statement. Updating the records would be done
through the datagrid edit property.
One question: If I'm creating separate components and
declaring the same DS and AC in each component but with different
filters on the AC, will the DGs update properly while the filter is
on it? Or is there something I need to do, like an addEventListener
to get all the data to update properly?

FI - Payment Advice SAPScript to email

The standard SAP program RFFOUS_T runs a SAPScript to create the Payment Advice form. Is there a way to get to to PDF and email it to the vendors? Right now it just prints out then they mail it.
Thanks,
David

No, that's not how you do it. The functionality is built in to the payment advice generation program.
David, you need to implement process BTE's 2040 and 2050 (transaction FIBF). This will allow you to email your payment advices to vendors as PDF attachments. 2040 controls the switch to method 'INT' and the setting of the address (see below) and 2050 controls the format (such as the title).
2040 Example
* This function module is used for BTE 00002040 to send payment
* advice notifications via e-mail for EFTs.
TYPE-POOLS SZADR.
DATA: LS_ADDR1_COMPLETE TYPE SZADR_ADDR1_COMPLETE,
        LS_ADSMTP_LINE    TYPE SZADR_ADSMTP_LINE.
* Default - Print payment advice
* Default layout in config is Z_CHK_ADVICE_LZ for checks
C_FINAA-NACHA = '1'.
* Check for vendor payment and wire transaction
CHECK: I_REGUH-LIFNR NE SPACE,
         I_REGUH-RZAWE EQ 'T'.
* Switch to the EFT advice
C_FINAA-FORNR = 'Z_EFT_ADVICE'.
* Check that address number is available
CHECK I_REGUH-ZADNR NE SPACE.
* Read complete address of vendor/customer
CALL FUNCTION 'ADDR_GET_COMPLETE'
       EXPORTING
            ADDRNUMBER     = I_REGUH-ZADNR
       IMPORTING
            ADDR1_COMPLETE = LS_ADDR1_COMPLETE
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS         = 4.
CHECK SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
* Check that e-mail address is available
LOOP AT LS_ADDR1_COMPLETE-ADSMTP_TAB INTO LS_ADSMTP_LINE
       WHERE ADSMTP-SMTP_ADDR NE SPACE
         AND ADSMTP-REMARK    EQ 'EFT'.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
CHECK SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
* Choose message type 'I'nternet and fill email address
C_FINAA-NACHA = 'I'.
C_FINAA-INTAD = LS_ADSMTP_LINE-ADSMTP-SMTP_ADDR.

Send payment advice by email. SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040 / 50

Dear all,
we using the BT FM SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040 for sending emails in PDF form to email addresses of the vendor. We are able to create the entry in SOST and send it by email.
Now we have two additional requirements:
1. We want to use the email address on Correspondence Tab LFB1-INTAD - Clrk's internet instead of the email adress of the general date (SZA1_D0100-SMTP_ADDR) because the e-mail address in the general data is already used for logistic correspondence.
2. We want to create the email and additionally the printout. Can we realize this in the coppy of SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040 or SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002050 and how?
I would appreciate all possible ideas and suggestions please
cheers

BTE 2050 controls the output format, but since you can only specify one output medium, I'm not sure you can get it to print the spool immediately and still email the PDF. You might try setting the 'print immediately' indicator in the BTE, but I don't think it will work (though I haven't tried it or checked the code). If it doesn't, the email'd spools wil still be available so you can use a post-processing step to print them out.

Remittance advice to vendors

I want to know how i can see the remittance advice form layout what is the procedure for issue of of remittance advice to the vendors.
I have checked it by using F110 transation for automatic payment but the output is in the report form but i want the output into the Pdf format type which can be mailed to the vendors.
so what transaction I have to run so that I can get this Pdf format form output.

Outgoing PAyment Report

Hi Experts..
In which table outgoing payment row level data stores. There are no row level data stores in both OVPM & VPM1 table.
Here I am clearing my point that I need a report in which I can show A/P Invoice, A/P Credit Memo & JE details in deiff coloums.
That's why I need the same. My client wants PLD in which he can differentiate all Open Invoices, Cr Memo & JE's.
Sry if I am not much clear.
Awaiting for kind reply.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi ...
Actually My vendors need a Deduction details on Outgoing Payments print layout. In basic PLD it is not possible.
They need Diff Amounts of diff. forms(deduction) like A/P Invoice- Post Date- doctotal, A/P Cr. Memo - doctotal, JE if any.
And they need it on Payment Advice Print Layout(Outoign payment). Then I thought to create UDF & set FMS on them & then set on PLD.
Plz suggest if you have better ideas. Every idea would be highly appreciated.

Ravi

Migration of our reports from Streamserve to XML publisher in Oracle EBS

Dear All,
I am working for a company using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 and we have several critical reports developped with Streamserve V3 (Customer Invoice , Sales Order Acknowledgment, Shipping Advice, PO layout, ...).
For various reasons we plan to abandon Streamserve and migrate to XML publisher or BI publisher whose functionalities seem to cover most of our needs.
However, my knowledge of XMLP/BIP is quite basic and I need some information on how to implement the reports.
I will be very glad and grateful if someone accepts to share his/her experience by answering a few questions :
1) What are the main differences between the XML publisher version included in APPS 11.5.10.2 and the standalone version of BI publisher ?
2) In most of our reports the language depends on the third party (vendor, customer, carrier, ...) so in the same report batch we can have some documents to be printed in English, while some other should be in French.
Is it possible to achieve that with XMLP or is the language to be chosen when submitting the concurrent request ?
3) As for languages, the delivery of the document (email or printed paper) depends also on the third party.
Is it possible in a same batch to have some documents emailed and other not ?
4) The bursting engine seems to be the main solution to manage the way documents are delivered.
a) How can we automatically launch it after the main request completion ? (most of our reports are scheduled to run periodically)
b) Is it possible to make bursting with a dynamically generated control file ?
c) What if the bursting engine does not couver all our needs ? Is there a way to develop our own deliver logic ? If so, where to find a step by step procedure to achieve that ? (knowing that we are newbies in Java language)
5) Some of our reports must be generated in PCL rather than PDF. I think that is not native in XMLP so what may be the workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your very helpfull answers.
Best regards
Karim Helali
Paris, France

Thank you Steven for your quick reply.
Here are my comments/precisions :
1) What we would like to konw is what are the functionnalities included only in that standalone version. This way we can decide if it is worth paying the quite expensive extra licence for BIP or if the EBS version of XMLP is enough for us.
I tried out to find this quite basic information without success. If anyone can indicate an oracle reference document
2) I know that the language is chosen via the template. Also, when you submit an XMLP concurrent request in EBS you have to choose which template to apply for the layout. So it looks like it is not posssible within a unique concurrent request to generate documents in more than one language. Is it so or am I missing something ?
3) Regarding documents multiple delivery management, I undertsand that we can do it either with bursting engine or with specific JAVA code implementing XMLP APIS. Even we are newbies in JAVA, we can deal with that. But I am quite puzzled as I find nowhere a document that explains how to develop that and especially how to integrate this within EBS.
Let me explain you our current logic with Streamserve and let me know how this can be implemented within XMLP :
- a report is setup in EBS as Executable type = SqlPlus / Output Type=PDF
- the SQLPLUS scripts takes into account the user request's parameters and generate an XML(like) file including all the data
- at the end the SQLPLUS calls a specific shell that runs the Streamserve step : the XML file is passed to the specific streamserve binary report wich generates several outputs (global PDF for the concurrent request output + global PCL flow sent to the printer queue + 0-n physical file(s) for archiving + 0-n email(s) sent ...)
- The language and delivery modes are not unique within a batch: they are decided per document in the streamserve binary report (based on third party setup included in the XML data file). So we don't need to launch a report batch per language or delivery mode.
I think such process should be possible using XMLP java APIS but I am quite stuck as I don't know how to start. Has anyone implemented such a global process in EBS with XML ?
Thanks again

Advice on content area layout & subfolders

Hi all!
We're just starting to use content areas for real document management, and I was hoping someone could offer some advice on the layout of one or more of these content areas.
I'm trying to build a typical corporate "Document Library". Parts of the library will be available to "Public" corporate users (corporate users who have not logged on to the app yet), other parts will be available to all authenticated users, and other parts will be available to only certain groups. (Relatively easy so far...)
So far I have these all in a single content area called DOCLIB, with two folders: PUBLIC and CORPORATE. (Ultimately there will be a third high-level group for FRANCHISE users -- non-corporate stores.) PUBLIC is accessible to public users; DOCLIB itself and DOCLIB/CORPORATE are accessible to AUTHENTICATED_USERS. PUBLIC contains subfolders such as NEWS, HELP, FAQS, HRDOCS ("public" HR docs), PRESS_RELEASES, etc. CORPORATE contains subfolders such as NEWS, PLANNERS, IT_DOCS, HRDOCS ("logged on only" HR docs), etc.
A few questions:
1. Does it make sense to break out the PUBLIC and CORPORATE folders at the very top level, or are do people generally put the private folders as subfolders of the corresponding public ones? (Ideally I'd rather put these both into the same folder and simply show more documents once the user logs on, but I couldn't get this working properly.)
2. I currently have the "DocLib" content area showing on the main portal page, defaulting to the PUBLIC folder. However, once the users log in, I'd like to switch the focus to the root DOCLIB folder instead of the PUBLIC subfolder. As it runs now, the focus remains on the PUBLIC folder, and the user must click on the folder path to move to the root folder. Is there any way around this short of creating two different tabs, one for public users and the other for logged-on users? (Once they log on now I show an additional 3-6 tabs on that page.)
3. I'd like to show certain folders (such as "News/System News" and "News/Company News" in their own portlets (in addition to inside the overall Document Library portlet). Unfortunately, once the user logs in, the folder path is displayed, and the user can navigate to parent folders while inside this portlet. (This will horribly confuse some of our users...) I know I can turn off the folder path for this folder, but then it is also gone when this folder is displayed inside the overall "Document Library" portlet (where I'd like to still show the folder path). Is there any way around this?
4. Is there any straightforward way to display the same document in more than one folder? If I use perspectives, it looks like I then give up control over how the page gets formatted, if I use a Folder Link, the folder opens up in its own page instead of inside the portal area, and if I use a URL to point the "second" copy back to the first, this will be difficult for later content managers to maintain. Am I missing another easy way to do this?
I know how to do all this via the PDK, but we're trying to use as much of the built-in content-management tools as possible instead of building more PDK-based code.
btw: We are still in Portal 3.0.8, although we're moving to 3.0.9 as soon as possible.
Sorry for the length of the post, but any insight anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All
We are using release 2, and we are looking into using a page template containing a JSP portlet for a consistent navigation bar/header. What do you think of this approach?
Regards
Harry
Jon,
There are a variety of ways to do this:
One way is to modify the page that the content area is on to contain the portlets that you would like on your page. Those portlets would contain your banners, links, logos, etc. Note that the page under a content area can not contain tabs.
Another way to do this is to create separate pages and link to those pages from your navigation bar manually.
Note that in release 2 of Oracle9iAS Portal we have combined the content area and page concepts so that there is no more 'drill out of the portal page' loss of context, so you could use Oracle9i Application Release 2 also.

Need advice on how to slice layout

I am fairly new to web design. I have studied it for two semesters in college, but I have forgotten many techniques since. However, I know enough to follow any advice given.
What I am seeking is some advice on how to break down my layout. Particularly, I need help deciding how to slice the layout and organize the divs.
I have a good idea how to slice and manage the header and footer; however, I am puzzled on how I should structure the menu on the right. See the attachment, how the menu drives up from the body content, past the secondary navigation, and into the main image?
I need help in the middle area there.
Thank you in advace!

Remittance Advice Layout

When creating outgoing payments using the payment wizard, they are created by default to display the SAP internal AP Invoice document number.
When printing a remittance advice, it is standard practice to print the Vendors reference number on the document, as they do not have any refernce to the SAP internal number.
In order to do this for payments generated by the payment wizard, each outgoing payment created needs to be manually updated to display the customer reference number first, as the Print Layout uses a system variable to display which ever value is selected in the document.
This means a lot of work for customers with in excess of 500 payments created each month, or, it means a customisation for every customer.
I suggest there be two variables available in the print layout so the user can choose when customising the layout which one is to be displayed.

Hello Julie,
I believe this issue has been resolved with 2007. Testing on the system remittance advices shows that the customer reference has been included in the PLD. There is also a variable 201 which I believe is the Customer/Vendor Reference Number which you might be able to add to the PLD if you are using 2005. I am currently testing this but without success at this stage. If anyone has any advice on how to get this variable to work in 2005 would be much obliged.
Kind regards,
Michelle

RAID Disk Layout advice for Hybrid OLTP/Batch app

I was hoping for some advice from the community on my disk layout for a proposed upgrade to our Oracle setup (Windows 2003, JDE+Oracle9i, primarily OLTP/Batch extracts). Focusing purely from a hardware perspective, we're being given 14 disks to work with. I had initially thought that it was a lot, but when I start putting the spindles into RAID configurations, it doesn't give me a lot of room. 
 
2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for OS, App and Oracle Binaries 
2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for 1 set of online redo log files 
2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for archive log files 
8 Disks RAID 10 (mirrored and Striped) for all data/index/undo/temp files. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
14 total disks 
 
My question is -- where would I put the other set of multiplexed redo log files? Hardware mirroring gives me fault tolerance against media corruption, but doesn't protect me against accidental deletion of the logs. I don't want to put the 2nd set on the OS drive because it's mixing sequential (100% read / write) and random access (OS paging, binaries). 
 
I also wanted to better understand how the LGWR and ARC0 processes work. From the Oracle Perf Tuning Guide, the LWGR writes to one member at a time, so it pays to have alternating log groups on 4 disks. We believe the ARC0 process reads only the primary member of the disk, yet the figure 8-1 in the above document shows an arrow from ARC# to both redo members. So how does it really behave? Does it actually read from one or both members? If it only ever writes to the second set and never reads it, where would I put it? Could I even put the second set of online redo's into the data/index/undo/temp set of disks? 
 
I've already been perusing the various AskTom articles and read the Oracle whitepapers (#1and #2) on S.A.M.E. (stripe and mirror everything), and they all make some good suggestions -- it's just with this few disks, I find myself having to make compromises. Any help or suggestions on a better layout would be appreciated.

Hello Carl,
You have to implement this SAP Note - 1313075 to meet your purpose.
Create variant under this program - RFFOAVIS_FPAYM and assign the same in printjob tab in F110.Also you have to maintain the sender mail id details in FSAP T code and receiver mail id details in the concern vendor master data.
I hope it helps else revert us with your query.

Need advice for making a board layout in Ultiboard easy to assemble/troubleshoot

I was wondering if anyone has a good method to go from a Multisim schematic to an Ultiboard layout, keeping specific legs of the circuit separated geographically for assembly and troubleshooting purposes. I have a circuit with a few analog filters that are tuned to different frequencies, so they have identical components, just specced to different values. This project is slated for only short run purposes, and will be assembled by hand (the parts are mostly through-hole).
It would be really convenient to be able to automatically make each leg identical for troubleshooting and assembly. I know that I could slowly work it out myself with a schematic and the ratsnest, but I was hoping for a quicker way, and I see a whole lot of functionality in Ultiboard that I don't know how to use yet.
The method I've been using so far has been pretty rough. With nearly 250 components, I've been saving the schematics multiple times with each subsequent leg added, and exporting the netlist to Ultiboard one at a time with previous components locked into place. It's a painful process, but it works.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

You can use the group replica place and the copy route options to do exactly what your asking. Since it seems your new to this package, it will most likely take the same time to get to the finish line if you do it manually or the method I mentioned.
