Attributes with Flexi update

Hi,My direct question, Can we upload attributes with flexi update. If possible how can we see? Please help me on this. Thanks, NK

Hi Kumaran,
You want to populate attributes for a master data characteristic, isnt it?
Do you have the any transfer rule maintained for this in BW???

Hi all,
Could anyone tell me how to laod the master data attributes with direct update in the infopackge..
provide steps to create master data attributes and how to load..
Thanks,
Manjula

Hi Manjula,
Flexible Uploading
Transaction code RSA1LEAD YOU TO MODELLING
1. Creation of Info Objects
In left panel select info object
Create info area
Create info object catalog ( characteristics & Key figures ) by right clicking the created info area
Create new characteristics and key figures under respective catalogs according to the project requirement
Create required info objects and Activate.
2. Creation of Data Source
In the left panel select data sources
Create application component(AC)
Right click AC and create datasource
Specify data source name, source system, and data type ( Transaction data )
In general tab give short, medium, and long description.
In extraction tab specify file path, header rows to be ignored, data format(csv) and data separator( , )
In proposal tab load example data and verify it.
In field tab you can you can give the technical name of info objects in the template and you not have to map during the transformation the server will automatically map accordingly. If you are not mapping in this field tab you have to manually map during the transformation in Info providers.
Activate data source and read preview data under preview tab.
Create info package by right clicking data source and in schedule tab click star to load data to PSA.( make sure to close the flat file during loading )
3. Creation of data targets
In left panel select info provider
Select created info area and right click to create ODS( Data store object ) or Cube.
Specify name fro the ODS or cube and click create
From the template window select the required characteristics and key figures and drag and drop it into the DATA FIELD and KEY FIELDS
Click Activate.
Right click on ODS or Cube and select create transformation.
In source of transformation , select object type( data source) and specify its name and source system Note: Source system will be a temporary folder or package into which data is getting stored
Activate created transformation
Create Data transfer process (DTP) by right clicking the master data attributes
In extraction tab specify extraction mode ( full)
In update tab specify error handling ( request green)
Activate DTP and in execute tab click execute button to load data in data targets.
4. Monitor
Right Click data targets and select manage and in contents tab select contents to view the loaded data. There are two tables in ODS new table and active table to load data from new table to active table you have to activate after selecting the loaded data . Alternatively monitor icon can be used

[svn:osmf:] 13494: Update build script to work with Flex 4 SDK.

No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
Then, launch your AIR application using adl
./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
Hope this helps,
Joan

I've started updating Flare for use with Flex/Spark

Hi,
Flare is a pretty cool actionscript library which allows you to make some pretty great interactive visualisations (or visualizations if you're American) of data. A couple of problems with it though:
It has pretty awful documentation. There's a tutorial that gets too in depth, too quickly and doesn't outline how to get up and running quickly at all, or what form of data is expected. &
It doesn't play all that well with the Spark architecture, making you 'hand draw' things on the nodes of a chart rather than just applying skins.
I'm trying to rectify this by:
Writing a quick start guide to getting up and running with Flare quickly. &
Starting to recode the library to be Flex friendly.
The quickstart guide should get anyone up and running with Flare using the downloadable version there is from them.
The second post has a partially recoded version of Flare to be friendly with Flex. I've worked on it more since then, and will continue to post updates as I get more and more working and cleaned up.
I hope this will be helpful, as Flare has some pretty cool things going for it (and some baffling choices also!).

Yes,you will lose all the music files when updating the firmware. What firmware is on the device now? You will need to do the update on XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 0 & no WMP components.

AIR application with Flex 4.5 will not render content. What gives?

OK,
So I've upgraded to Flash Builder 4.5 Premium and I am unable to develop desktop AIR applications with the 4.5 Flex SDK. I start by simply creating a brand new AIR application using the default SDK (Flex 4.5). I set the title property on WindowedApplication and include a simple Label component. The project compiles fine but when I run the application all I see is the adl window in the dock but that's it. If I modify the Main-app.xml file to set the visible attribute to true, I will get a small window but there is no content although the output window shows the application swf being loaded. Checking the release version of the Main-app.xml file shows the correct path location to the swf.
Here is what I've tried so far:
Install/reinstall Flash Builder, 4+ times
Downloaded the trial installation twice
Downloaded the SDK's for 3.6, 4.1 and 4.5.0. I then copied each SDK folder and merged the AIR 2.6 SDK with each copy. So now I have 6 SDK versions; one pristine and the other with the AIR 2.6 SDK merged. I then added each SDK individually and created an AIR desktop application for each. Each and every one works fine with the exception of the two 4.5 SDK's. They will not render content.
I created a simple creation complete handler for the application that declares a simple variable and assigns a value to it. I then put a break point on the assignment and it never gets caught. More evidence that the swf isn't getting loaded.
The computer I'm running on is a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. If I create a web project in each of the 6 SDK's, those will work just fine. What the heck is it with Flex 4.5 and the AIR 2.6 SDK on this machine? I have the AIR 2.6 runtime installed as well as a number of AIR applications that work just fine. I also tried my 4.5 test on my windows machine and that worked like a champ.
I am completely out of ideas. Finding information has been difficult because everyone is all about mobile so searching for desktop issues is a losing battle. I realize this is a long email but I'm desperate for help. There must be someone out there that knows more about the low level interaction between Flex 4.5/AIR 2.6 and the OS.

Well, I finally found the issue, a corrupted mm.cfg file in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia. I deleted the file and then adl ran just fine.

How to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist

I Have created a flex field label and was able to map to the flex field attributes .
But when i try to create a rules , I don't see the label or the flex attributes in the task payload .
Can someone please help is understanding how to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist .
Even I am also searching for any scripts which will take the flex fields prompts and can directly create a label in the bpm worklist .
Any pointers or suggestion is highly appreciated .

Hi,
SE38 -> Enter program
Select Variants button and display. In the next screen, enter a variant name, (If not existing , press Create to create new one), else click on Change.
Now the selection screen will display with a button "Variant Attributes" at the top.
Click on that button.
In the next screen, go to the selection variable column of the date field. Press F4 or drop down and select 'D' for date maintenance.
In the column "Name of Variable (Input Only Using F4)" press F4 or drop down, select whichever kind of date calculation you want and save the variant.
Now whenever you run the prgrm with this variant, date will be displayed by default.

Subramanian

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

WORKING example of BlazeDS with Flex 3 and FlexBuilder

Can someone point me to an actual working example with BlazeDS used with Flex 3 and Eclipse?
The examples on livedocs are broken or imcomplete. Others work to varying degrees but fail at some point.
What I'd like to see is the following:
1. How to create a project using
     a. Flex 3.0
     b. BlazeDS
     c. Eclipse - FULL project creation and deployment instructions.
     d. An example where the project is NOT created within the BlazeDS webapp that comes with the BlazeDS/Tomcat combo.
     e. An example where the ENTIRE project can be compiled and deployed to Tomcat in one shot.
     f. An example where a DB can he altered using standard CRUD methods with the display displaying updated records without and event being used to
         refresh the view of the records.
This shouldn't be too much to ask if Flex is to be expected to be taken seriously in data-driven applications. I've looked all over the web for weeks for something likethis and have come up with nothing. I don't need Spring or Hibernate at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm working on a proof-of-concept at this time and the pressure is mounting to come up with something.
Thanks!

here is some stuff I wrote while back(they both have recorded video you can watch);

FTP upload with Flex 3

Is it possible to upload a partiular file, in this case a
users answer file, to an FTP site with out any interaction from the
user. For example, when they are done the test, upload the answer
file to an FTP site (without using cold fusion or asp or
.net)?

I have downloaded the coded and converted it to work with
Flex 3 (changed it to WindowedApplication, and updated the
FlexFTP-app.xml file). When i run it, I get the following:
220 jpl Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
USER jhughes
331 Password required for jhughes.
PASS *****
230 User jhughes logged in.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (66,109,241,93,12,42).
LIST
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
226 Transfer complete.

PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (66,109,241,93,12,43).
STOR //test.txt
550 /test.txt: Access is denied.
It allows me to connect when I have the correct password but
it will not allow me to upload or download files. Any ideas?

Tutorial for creating a J2EE project with "Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 " ?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Flex environment with:
Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 stand alone
WTP (from eclipse update manager)
LCDS 2.5 (with JRun)
JBoss 4.2.2GA
At this moment I successful installed everything (but not set up). I added WTP at Flex Builder3 (with the eclipse update manager). I copied the two flex-tomcat files in jboss.
Then in Flex Builder 3 I created a new Flex Project. In the wizard first window, I selected J2EE, Livecycle and WTP. Then in the next window I need to configurate the J2EE server.
I couldn't find any information/tutorial for this window? Is there a tutorial for this?
This window ask me:
Target Runtime: I created a new one for JBoss 4.2.2 (during this process flex builder asked me to add a project but actually I'm creating this project so I hadn't any project to add (??)).
ContextRoot: name of the project I'm creating (default). Is it good?
Content Folder: the default is "WebContent". Is it good?
Flex War File: What is that? Where do I find it?
Thanks a lot,
Jerome

The settings you mention all sound fine, but the I believe the Flex War file may be what you referred to as the flex-tomcat files (specifically the one should be called flex.war from the install folder).
You don't need to deploy the flex.war file to JBoss manually, when you create a project, you just select the file in the wizard and it is extracted and used as a template for the new project. In fact, it may cause a port conflict with your project if you do deploy manually it (unless you tweak some of the config files), so it's probably worth removing it from the deploy folder if you did put it there. The other file, flex-admin.war, can stay without causing issue.
The closest to a tutorial that I am aware of is if you search "New Flex Project" in the help system, it talks about what each of the options should be when creating LCDS projects.

How to play live Video Stream with Flex?

I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to play a live video stream with Flash Media
Server and Flash Live Media Encoder.
I'm able to stream pre-recrorded (vod) flvs in flex from flash media server.
I'm able to stream live video using Flash/FMS/Flas Live Media Encoder, but not
with Flex.
This code streams pre-recorded Video on Demand flvs, but not live streams:
If I change source to "rtmp://localhost/live/livesream.flv, I get nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:HBox>
        <mx:Label text="RTMP FMS 2.0"/>
        <mx:VideoDisplay
            autoBandWidthDetection="false"
            source="rtmp://localhost/vod/Legend.flv"/>
    </mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
Oh and sorry for the double post. I didn't know there was a seperate FMS forum.

That worked! Thanks *very* much. Stupid of me to forget to set the live attribute to true. Also removed the .flv. BTW: what video component do you prefer?
Here's the working code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:HBox>
        <mx:VideoDisplay
            live="true"
            autoBandWidthDetection="false"
            source="rtmp://localhost/live/livestream"/>
    </mx:HBox>

Possible to obtain phone IMEI number with flex mobile project?

Just like the title says, is it possible to obtain phone IMEI number with flex mobile project? If not, does anyone know of another method to get a unique number to identify the phone being used (on android and iphone)? I'm asking because I'm building a chat application, and I need a way to potentially ban users based on something other than an IP address.
edit: now that I think about it, an IMEI number might not be the best way, since wifi tablets may not hav an IMEI number, anyone have any other idea how I could get a number to identify a device that would already be present, because i'm afraid if its something generated by me, a simple uninstall and re-install could circumvent a ban.

If this is an Android project, you can use this ANE:
http://blog.snowflax.com/native-imei-action-script-extension-for-android/
I have verified that it does work and provides the IMEI. For cases where there is no IMEI ( bc the device is not a mobile phone, or it uses IMSI instead ), you can just bypass the device id check with your database, and enable full functionality.
Although this is not full-proof, it will nevertheless screen a lot of devices. With this, you can keep track of the number of app installs / resets, and add a 'banned' flag if you want to in your DB -- if you see unusal activity ( like: unsually high number of re-installs ).
-----> UPDATE:
I just found this ANE which includes a class called 'SystemProperties', to find the IMEI/IMSI/serial/phone number on Android, and the MAC address on iOS:
https://github.com/mateuszmackowiak/NativeAlert
I have verified that the iOS part works, but haven't tried the Android side, yet. Note: for iOS, it will also give you a UUID ( even though the object tag claims it is the UDID -- it's not ), which is worthless as a persistent means of identifying the device. since it gets reset on each app re-install. So, for iOS, you have to use the MAC address, unless you are willing to store/restore the UUID into EncryptedLocalStore, as suggested by a user in:

Java with flex

Hi
I am new to Flex .
Do any one know how to develope an application with flex , java and database connection.
I have FLEX SDK 3.1
MySQL 5
jdk 1.5
whether any thing else required for developing the application.
Plz help.
Its Urgent

Hi,
Flex3, MySQL5 and jdk 1.5 should be fine.
Though I have not worked with flex with MySQL combination, I have used the
- Flex2/3
- MSSQL2005/ Oracle9i/ HSQLDB/ Apache Derby
- jdk1.5(update 4)/1.6
combinations.
But I think you may need jdk1.6 for flex3. Also if affordable, go for Flex Builder - will make your UI creation easy.
Hope this helps.

Must not combine new AIRSDK with Compiler with FLEX SDK?

Hi Guys
I've found this whole SDK overlay business a mess and very confusing. I've found this document
- http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html
which states
'The distribution of the AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 is for pure ActionScript development only. It should not be combined with an existing Flex SDK.
To support Flex application development with newer versions of the AIR SDK, an AIR SDK overlay distribution that does not include ASC 2.0 needs to be overlaid over the Flex SDK bundled with Flash Builder 4.7.'
So if you are doing pure AS3 development there is no longer any need to do any 'overlaying' of one SDK Folder onto another. You just need to get the latest AIR SDK with complier ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html )
You should then update the AIR SDK if using Flash Builder via ( http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html ) (Note it still uses the term 'overlay' but you are not really overlaying but replacing).
Can someone from Adobe confirm please ?
Thanks

You must use Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3. No later version of Flex works. This means you must use Flex Builder 3 (with Flex 2.0.1 runtime for your project) and you cannot use Flash Builder 4.5.
This holds true for their 2008 Xcelsius version and their new 4.0 Dashboard version. Wish they'd update their runtime already...
