Automating qmaster commanderDoc creation

I really like being able to submit to qmaster via the command line. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it supports more complex submissions via the command line. e.g. i would like to submit two maya commands and a shake command that are serialized.
currently the qmaster gui allows this and i can see that you can create files called filename.commanderDoc through the "file->save as" menu item in the gui. what i'd like to do is create this file by my own means (probably python using pyobjc cocoa libraries), but i can't find any file format specification. using the "file" command it says it is a "NeXT/Apple typedstream data, little endian, version 4, system 1000". it contains NSObject, NSString, NSMutableArray, etc.
does anyone know if this file format is documented anywhere, or if they've already decoded what is going on in this file?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Zach

Great question. We've had the same issue. What's worse is that those files seem to break if edited and saved with textedit... so the only way to get a clean file is to set it up, and do a 'Save As' from the QMaster GUI.

User-Exits stop working in automated purchase order creation

Dear all,
we used to create sales orders with transaction VA01 and then separately call ME21N to create a purchase order.
In saving the purchase order we activated user-exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 to process some extra logic we need here.
Now we changed to process for SAP to automatically create the purchase order (to eventually be able to automate the entire process, including sales order creation). Ever since we did that, the user exit is not called any more!
Does anyone know why? If I manually open ME22N and save the PO, it works! We have to find a way to run the logic in the user-exit during automated PO creation just for the volume of orders.
Besides that, we're still looking for a convenient way to update PO confirmations using a BAPI or other function module.
Thanks for your help!
regards,
Johannes.

Good question
User-exit may not work as the function modules [ and not ME21N ] called in the Sales Order --> Purchase Req --> Purchase Order process may not call the enjoy user-exits.
Further, this process of automated PO works on Business Obejct event trigger.
So a event is triggered [ ALECREATED ] on Sales Order Business at the time of Sales Order Creation.
This event is linked with a function module called PUR_ORDER_CREATE_VIA_SD_EVENT.
similarly for change it is PUR_ORDER_CHANGE_VIA_SD_EVENT.
If you go through the FM code, you can make out how to utilize this FM as user-exit.
However you need to make the change in this FM after copying the related function group to a Z one. And then change the event linkage accordinlgy to call the new FM.
See Business Workflow --> Events section..
If you are not sure about how to do the event linkage then ask it in BPM section...[ They will request you to get lost ...no no ..they didn't do it to me ..just kidding ]

Process Automation and Recipe Creation Advice Needed

Hi all,
I'm new user of LabVIEW working on a process automation project.
The process involves a syringe pump, two temperature controllers, and an 8 channel Mass Flow Controller (with 6 process gases and a Mass Flow Meter attached). All of these devices are connected via RS-232 -->USB and need to be controlled by LabVIEW.
I've created a VI that allows for manual control over these devices from a single screen, but am not sure how to proceed from here to an automation scheme. I'd like for the user to be able to create and run recipes (with the option of loading previous recipes or saving current ones).
My current idea for each step in the recipe goes a little like this:
1) User selects device to be altered in the current step
2) User selects desired parameter change (temperature setpoint, flow rate, etc)
3) User selects condition on which step occurs (time delay, temperature reaches a specific value, etc)
4) User adds step to recipe sequence
I've read several other posts here about recipe creation using string tables, but have yet to see a working version's block diagram.
I'm not sure how I should control each device (subVIs, states, whatever), or how to use a table to set a sequence of events in motion.
Please help!
Thank you.
-Shawn

Hey Shawn,
I'd definitely recommend a state machine for this behavior. Here is an example that might help you get up and running. The file is missing the typedef for the steps, but you should be able to use this as one idea for how you could base this. Essentially you could have the File IO aspect be a list of 'steps' that are saved (in array form) by your user. If there are specific parameters that go along with them, you could figure out how to include this information in the file as well. This method is pretty slick, and is nice an expandable. The only tricky part would be to handle the additional data changes for the temperature setpoint and flow rate, etc). You could possibly do this with a 2D array and have the first dimension be the step, and the second dimension be the values, etc. Just an idea.

Techniques needed for Automated (OLE) PDF Creation from Word using Adobe 9

My client currently uses Adobe 5, PDF Writer, Word and OLE automation to generate PDF files. This is done on a server. A queue of Word documents are read. A watermark is added via a VB Macro. Then, also via a macro (below) a pdf file version of the Word doc is generated. The pdf file is generated as temp.pdf, which the program uniquely renames later.
Unfortunately, Adobe 5 and PDF Writer cannot handle Chinese characters and now needs to. Seems like the process above cannot be the same with Adobe 9. How should I approach this server driven, pdf file generation from Word docs with Adobe 9? This is a 24 x 7 ongoing, 100s of documents a day process. It isn’t clear to me that PDF Writer is still an option. With Adobe 9 installed on a client, it is possible to save a Chinese character Word document using the Adobe ‘Convert to PDF’ toolbar button
Sub WritePdfFile()
    Windows(1).Activate
    ActivePrinter = "Acrobat PDFWriter"
    Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
        wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
        Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False
End Sub

Strock transfer process - Automating the document creation/flow

Hi,
I am working on an implementation of ECC6 where the client has a requirement to automate creation of many of the system documents.
We are following the standard SAP BBP J51: Internal Procurement (Stock Transfer With Delivery). To summarise the BPP, the following process is followed:
Stock Transfer (Purchase) order is created -> Outbound delivery is created with ref to the PO -> Picking/Goods Issue is done by the sending plant against the Outbound Delivery -> Inbound delivery is created -> Goods are Goods Receipted into the receiving plant.
Our client has a requirement that the process is done as follows:
- PO/Stock Transfer (ST) is manually created when a ST is required.
- On Saving of the ST, the Outbound Delivery is automatically generated by the system with reference to the PO/ST.
- The Picking is done and the Goods Issued.
- On saving the Goods Issue, the inbound Delivery is created with reference to the outbound delivery or PO/ST (or creation can be done at the same time as the creation of the Outbound Delivery).
- Goods Receipt is then manually completed by the receiving plant and the process is complete.
After searching various forums, I have found some people say it can only be done through ABAP customisation and and others who say that from version ECC6 onwards it can be done via SPRO config. The instructions I have found on how to do this via Config were unclear and I was unable to get the process working. I have been unable to find any information on this through help.sap.com or OSS notes.
If anyone is able to provide the steps required to set this up or a link to reference documents i can use to find the answer, it would be much appreciated. Please advise if you need more info.
Thanks

Lobby Admin for guest account creation - Automation of account creation

hello all,
i'm sure the creation of guest accounts on the lobby admin page is a painful process for all involved - for us, it involves a process like this:
visitor asks for wifi > receptionist phones IT > IT creates account> IT phones receptionist with login details.
I would like to know whether it's possible to speed up this process either:
1) receptionist is able to click a few buttons, type the name of a visitor (so we know who used particular the guest ID), then is able to generate an ID and password immediately, which can then be printed onto a ticket printer of some sort.
2) visitor simply connects into the guest network, has to register (name and email) and automatically gets connected.
are any of these possible? or any other option I could take?
Thanks

Why not just have the receptionist create the account via the Lobby Admin login? The point of Lobby Admin is such that an elevated end-user (receptionist/security/etc) can log in to create a guest account without having to interact with an "admin". There's no point in having your IT staff handle the Lobby Admin logins.
Some of the other items you are asking for would be a better use-case with Cisco ISE solution.

Automated Material Variant Creation

Is there an automated way to create material variants once a configuration is entered on a sales order, if one does not already exist?
Take an example, I have configurable material ComputerA which is a laptop computer. Say there are two possible configurations, 2GB of memory or 4GB of memory. Let's say that I have a material variant already for the 2GB configuration, and say that I called it ComputerA_2GB. If I were to create a sales order for ComputerA and configure it with 2GB of memory, then I could have my item category set to swap in the the material variant ComputerA_2GB automatically.
Now assume that I create an order for ComputerA but configure it with 4GB of memory. I have not previously created a material variant for this. Is there a way to have ECC dynamically create that material variant and swap it into my line? So the process would be: create line item for configured material, if material variant exists, swap in, if material variant does not exist, create the material master for the variant and then swap that material in. Is there any way to do this without custom code?

Hi,
You can decide whether it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic on the basis of transaction code.
You must use [selection condition|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm] which calls the [user-defined function|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]. In function you need to analyze sy-tcode and raise the predefined exception FAIL for those when you don't want to assign a value to a characteristic (e.g. mm01, mm02). Contact your ABAP team to create such a function.
Don't tick the characteristic as required entry in class definition but assign this selection condition to this characteristic in class.

Alexander

Automating the Datastores creation using ODI SDK's in ODI 11g.

Hi Team,
We have a requirement in which structure of the Datastores to be reverse engineered is attached in the .csv file below. Please give a solution to reverse engineer the datastores reading them from the .csv file. Also, Please find the file "ODI_SDK_MODEL_DATASTORES.groovy" in which I have created the Datastore using the ODI SDK's but datastore names are hard-coded inside the groovy script. Please use this file as a reference and re-write the code for datastore creation in such a way that it reads the datastore, column and datatype names at the runtime from the .csv file and creates the datastore dynamically.
I have attached the needed files below.
Thanks a ton in advance!!!
Best Regards,
Shivesh.

I'll be very surprised if anyone will write the code for you. This is a discussion forum not a free resource for producing code. People will be willing to help point you in the right direction or help you if you hit an unusual issue. As you have done some of the work with the SDK you should be able to extend this to meet your requirements with a bit of research and trial and error.
If this is too much, it may be worth considering hiring and experienced consultant to help you with your more difficult requirements.

Automating DB schema creation by Sqlplus

Hi,
I am researching a method to automate the deployment of our windows server 2008 11G oracle database. Currently the steps include;
1. Log in to sqlplus / as sysdba
2. Run an sql script, i.e @myDatabaseSchemaCreate.sql
3. Exit
4. Login to sqlplus as the dbuser
5. I start sqlplus and wait for the user name/password prompt and obediently enter it.
6. Now I run another script ie. @mydbuserscript.sql.
This is the process handed down to me by the all-knowing and almighty DBAs and it will not change, It would only be ran once in any environment upon the creation of this environment. In some projects, we may have 5 or 6 environments and quite often something goes wrong which requires a full re-install. What I would like to determine is what methods I have to automate these steps, does anyone have advice/experience of what is best. I was exploring what is involved in writing a .net or java app to automate it, alternatively does oracle provide other methods to automate this?

Automated *.jsxbin file creation?

Is it possible to somehow run ESTK in headless mode and feed it coomand from command line like makeBin(_fromFile, _toFile)?
I want to automate this process but can't find any references on this kind of ESTK functionality.

Thanks for referring to AutoIt on Windows--I had never heard of it. This is also possible to do using plain AppleScript if developing on OSX. AppleScript allows you to remote control ESTK out of the box. The build script I have for OSX is complex, and will hopefully I will have time to update this thread when I simplify it for general use, but I think the following might help others who are on Windows. I was able to get ESTK Toolkit to export to .jsxbin using this code for AutoIt. This assumes you are running the latest version ESTK on Windows.
Feel free to use, but you'd just need to change the variables at the top. You can then use this saved script as part of a build system in a program like Sublime Text. Hope this helps. . .

Automating the creation of telephone accounts in call manager

Hi, I have recently been asked to explore the possibility of automating telephone account creation in Cisco Call Manager, using scripting. Now although my scripting knowledge isn't great, one idea that was suggested was the use of .csv files? Any advice or tips about how to proceed would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jaime, thanks for your reply. I have already discussed the possibility of using CUCM 10 although unfortunately this was ruled out straight away as the cost of implementing the latest version would be too expensive for our department. I am also looking into the Cisco BAT and have an account for the CBT Nuggets to get some training on BAT. Additionally, I am looking into writing up a simple script that could be used to change the formatting of a .csv file containing staff details that could then be uploaded to CUCM.

Creation of TO Automatically for Delivery

Hi All
Our Storage type is SU Managed Bulk Storage Type , accordingly we have maintained in material master WM2 different storage unit types,also set up indicators in WM1 for removal and palcement strategies.
Now our requirement is as below...
1. TO creation for delivery - TO is not confirmed automatically ,when we try to confirm manually either forground or
    background,sytem prompts to enter storage unit number manually.
    We would like this to be automated ie the storage unit number should be picked up automatically by the system during TO
   creation and also TO should be confirmed and created.
2.Can we automate creation of TO at the time doing PGI.
3.We would also like to print the TO automatically after PGI.
Thanks in advance
Samson

Hi
For Delivery
Go to LE - WM - Interfaces - Inventory Management - Activate Automatic TO Creation - Movement types - Assign
Here for your WH No select the movement type 601 and delselect TR creation & Immed.TO creation
For Goods Receipt
Go to LE - WM - Activities - Transfers - Set Up Autom. TO Creation for TRs / Posting Change Notices
Automatic TO creation - Control data      here for the secon WH No where you do not want auto TO remove the
tick mark
Also make relevant changes in in the next - Movements - assign control   select the WH no and the movement
no and check for auto TO setings.

SO from PO Process automation

hi,
I have a scenario when i have to a process automation of SO creation after PO generation.
The client is same, so i think we cannot do this with ALE right ?
I think i'll have to use exits or BDCs for this.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks & Regards
Megha

Thanks Martin
But my question now is that if i cannot configure in ALE Distributiion model since the sending and recieving system is same, how can i send IDOC ?
