BAPI Meta-data calls

Hi,
I would like to do the following from an RFC Client application: -
1) For a given RFC call, extract the meta-data relating to import and export tables and parameters and also the underlying structures
2) For a given business object call (e.g. ManufactOrderAPS.GetList2 how can you find out the correct underlying RFC to call?
Any help or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks ,
Chris.
This information seems to be used by the Bapi Browser for example (the transaction code for this tool is BAPI)

Hello Chris
You will find all relevant tables in package SWO (Business Object Repository Tools):
- TOJTB (Business object repository: Basic data)
- SWOTLV (Runtime Table Verbs)
For example (SWOTLV):
- LOBJTYPE = BUS3032
- VERB = GETLIST
VERBTYPE = M
-> ABAPTYPE F " (Function Module)
-> ABAPNAME BAPI_ASSORTMENTLIST_GETHEAD
Regards
Uwe

JCO - Get meta data - Grey status in JCO connections tab

Hi all,
I read many post on this topics within this forum but I didn't succeed to get meta data required and to set correctly my connection.
Let's start quickly to give you my conf
In the j2ee admin
-> Services > SLD Data Supplier > CIM Client Generation Settings
I set fields with : SLD7000 / 50000 and my logon info
Save and test -> result is ok !
In my web dynpro application, I am able to get correct BAPI from BCE system using my logon info. And I map my view to display data from the corresponding BAPI called.
So at this time, in my IDE, the connection to the SAP Backend system SAP works because I can get the list of BAPIs from the BCE SAP Backend System as well.
Build and deploy my application.
Now, let's go to webdynpro welcome page on my j2ee server : http://<host>:<port>/webdynpro/welcome
-> content administration
-> I select from the left tree browser my application, and open the "JCO Connections" Tab. I can see my connections previously I set in my webdynpro application. But I CAN'T use the button "Create" to configure new JCO connection. ??
Last thing:
in the BCE backend system
transaction : RZ70
I have, host = sldmain and service = sapgw47
Also, in the list of data collection programs, everything is checked as active except the program "_SLD_RFC"
I don't know if it is important....?
Finally, I give you from the exception I got in my browser only lines "Caused by"....
Caused by: com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdException: TypeBroker failed to access SLD: Error while obtaining JCO connection.
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.sl.api.WDSystemLandscapeException: Error while obtaining JCO connection.
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Failed to create J2EE cluster node in SLD for 'J2E.SystemHome.localhost': com.sap.lcr.api.cimclient.LcrException: CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND: No such instance: SAP_J2EEEngineCluster.CreationClassName="SAP_J2EEEngineCluster",Name="J2E.SystemHome.localhost"
Thanks a lot for your support and help,
Best regards,

Hi Emmanuel
You said
" I select from the left tree browser my application, and open the "JCO Connections" Tab. I can see my connections previously I set in my webdynpro application. But I CAN'T use the button "Create" to configure new JCO connection. ??"
What is their status ? Is it green on red? Usually create is greyed out if it is green. What about Edit?
Try creating a new Web Dynpro component with another destination name ,deploy and then check the Content administrator if these new destinations have Create enabled
After running RZ70 did you check the Technical System in SLD administration to see if the technical details have been propogated ?

Meta-Data are missing for table

Dear ALL ,
I am trying to call "HR_READ_INFOTYPE" from a Java program using rfc and I got this error:
" Meta data equal to null is not allowed for field INFTY_TAB with type TABLE in meta data instance TABLES "
the required table INFTY_TAB is used as a generic table in the function module. I tried to use PA0008 but it seems it is not possible to use it through RFC call. How can I avoid this exception?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This function by default is not remote enabled. Loot at BAPI to access/modify infotype data?

How can i get the meta data from database?

Hi, all java and db experts,
I need to write a tool to generate java file which will be used to hold the resultset of a stored procedure of Oracle. Is there any API call or tools to connect to db and then get the meta data of the return cursor instead of reading stored procedure definition on my own?
Please help, thanks a lot.
Hanna

if i execute a Oracle stored procedure, the resultset of a cursor is returned. It's easy to know the meta data at the runtime.
However, could i get the meta data about the resultset of a cursor before runtime? Such as by connecting to the database and ask it about meta data of a specified stored procedure?
Is it feasible?
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("", "%", "SP_NAME", "%");
while (rs.next()) {
String colName = rs.getString(4);
int colType = rs.getInt(5);
int colDataType = rs.getInt(6);
int colPrecision = rs.getInt(8);
int colLen = rs.getInt(9);
int colScale = rs.getInt(10);
long defaultValue = rs.getLong(11);
But what i get is a list of stored procedure parameters. In oracle, cursor is IN OUT parameter . How can i get the meta data about the resultset of cursor?

Should the web page address be included in the file name in the meta data dialog box?

In the page properties > meta data > below is a field with the label file name: (the the area to type in the field), after the field, it is labeled .html.
I have 2 questions here.
1. If I type in http//:www (my page url), do I include .html at the end? I didn't know if this is automatically added because it is off to the side of the field?
2. If I type in the entire URL address: http//:www (etc, etc).html, after closing the page properties dialog box, I make it a habit to double check my work. What happens is the http//:www.xxx changes to (htttpwww.xxx). It drops the //: on the URL.
So would it be better to just type in www.xxx (without the http//:www.xxx)
and do you type in the .html at the end?
I am assuming this will help with SEO page ranking or at least makes it easier for the search engines to crawl your site??
I hope this makes sense.
Advise would be very helpful.
Ben

You are absolutely correct with the URL Ben. Taking your above example, you just need to type in "Services" in the file name and the webpage will be exported as services.html and the URl will be www.xyz.com/services.html.
All the webpages (be it parent page or child page) gets physically saved at the root directory of your website on the server (where your website resides).
This name is just the name of the file using which it is physically stored and called from the server. It does not help search Engines to crawl deeper inside the website.
As I explained, "name which you wants the .html file to be stored with" here means the name of the physical file which is getting saved on the server.
Most users leave the file name same as Page name. If you have it different from page name then this will be the workflow :
Page Name : About
File Name : test
domain : www.mysite.com
Now if you are using a Menu Widget, it will list "About" in the Menu. And when end user will click on "About" then it will call the file named "test.html" from the server location (where all the files of your website are stored).
And it will open a page with address "www.mysite.com/test.html"
Hope I am able to explain the concept of File Name here. Please let us know if you have further queries on this.

Sachin

Missing Meta data in Gallery JSON file

I have bought a GEOtagger device and I am using GPS2Aperture to get the meta data into my Aperture library. But when you export the pictures to a Web Gallery Album the meta data is not exported. I found out it is not MobileMe too blame. When you look at the JSON file that is created by the Aperture export function you will see that the meta data is missing! The JSON file is located at: iDisk (iDisk > Web > Sites > _gallery > yourgalleryname), you'll see a list of folders each containing the photos in that particular gallery. And within each folder, there's a file called exif.json, which is a type of JavaScript that holds the EXIF information.
I looked on the Internet to see if other users have this problem but it seems I am the only one This automatically raises the question: Is it just me or is noby using GeoTags?
Anybody else has this problem?
Message was edited by: kwarts

I am having the same problem whereby Aperture sometimes exports the EXIF information and sometimes it doesn't. The photos are geotagged, and Aperture shows this information. But, sometimes it appears with the info command in a Gallery and sometimes not.
I've got to check more closely, but it did appear in a gallery for which I allowed downloading. But, it did not appear in a gallery for which I did not allow downloading. I'm not sure, yet, if this is what does it.

IWeb meta data

I see iWeb is not an HTML editor and I need to add Meta data to my site so that I can submit to search engines. I am using the program because it is very easy and quick to use but I am publishing to a seperate site, not a .mac site. If I open the file with an editor like Dreamweaver I could insert the code no problem and then publish but since that additional code would not be in my original iweb sfiles it would be overwritten next time. Where can I find the original iWeb files on the computer and edit those so that the Meta data will be there every time? Also it has been a few years since I published a commercial website, do they still use meta tags for the search engines?
Thanks,

All the information iWeb needs to create your websites is in one file called "Domain." When you launch iWeb for the first time, the Domain file's default location is:
+~/Library/Application Support/iWeb+
(the tilde (~) represents your home directory)
...and edit those so that the Meta data will be there every time?
You cannot edit this Domain file ~ so you have to re-edit the HTML files after publishing.
Also it has been a few years since I published a commercial website, do they still use meta tags for the search engines?
The following is quoted from Patrick Griffiths' book +"XHTML & CSS"+:
The primary application of meta tags used to be in the optimization of a web page for search engine rankings. Keywords and descriptions were used by the search engine algorithms to judge how closely a web page matched a given phrase. Nowadays, however, few search engines take any notice of meta tags that specify page keywords due to their misuse and tendency to lead to irrelevant material. Instead, search engines tend to base their results on the page content itself. Google, for example, will only use the meta tag "description" to accompany a search result, but ignores meta tags altogether when it comes to judging a page's rank. It bases its results primarily on content, the page title, and also terms that are used to link to the page in question.
So is there any real point? Meta tags certainly aren't the force they used to be when it comes to search engines, but they can still be used to convey useful information about the page. Even if an application doesn't directly use a meta tag, someone looking at the page source itself could still benefit from such information. Another common value for the name attribute is "copyright", which won't be directly used by anything (such as search engines or browsers), but can be used to point out copyright information to a casual observer.

When I change my meta data in iTunes why does it not get displayed in Sonos or MediaMonkey

Hello,
I noticed that when I change the meta data in iTunes for example by right clicking an album -> get info and than change the Genre of the album and than click OK . It takes the changes in iTunes but I have a Sonos System and when I update my music library the changes are not being displayed . When I now put the album in MediaMonkey I also can not see the genre change . This used to work back in the days .
Did iTunes change anything in regards to handling and saving meta data ? iTunes does not seem to save the information in the file anymore ?
Thanks,
A

I solved my problem. Here's how:
1. Right click iTunes and click properties from the "Windows 8 Desktop" (or if you want to call it the 7 desktop thats fine too)
2. Select the compatibility tab.
3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
5. Close Program
6. Restart Computer

Meta data not included upon export - Please confirm

Hello everyone. I'm looking to confirm with several people the following:
After updating to the most recent version of Aperture and Tiger (Leopard is not tame enough yet), exported images do not include meta data (yes, I know how to click the little box that says include meta data so please understand in advance that isn't the solution).
I'm looking for several people to confirm this is happening to them too. Kinda a bummer to have done all the key-wording & meta data work only to have exported images void of anything. Previous version of Aperture exported meta data just fine: I have one folder here full of images I just processed (no meta data) and one folder full of images processed 7 weeks ago (has meta data).
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Christopher David

Your problem and description gave me the first clue about the little box that needs to be checked, but where to find that little box. I'm adding my resolution here because your title most closely matched my problem. Maybe someone searching in the future needs to know how to find the box to check and won't have to search any farther with this explanation. I hope you've solved your problem too.
I searched and posted in several forums before calling Apple Support today. I've discovered the problem with that tech person's guidance. If anyone else faces this dilemma, check your settings here:
Aperture > File > Export Versions
Then you get a pop up box with some drop down menus. The top drop down box has 'Edit' at the bottom of its list. Go into there. You'll have several preferences to choose from (file type, dimensions, quality, etc) and there's a tiny box that accidently got unchecked which says something like: Include Metadata.
I can't check it for exact wording because I'm merrily re-exporting right now - Metadata intact!
Apparently there's an even quicker path to fix this:
Aperture > Presets > Image Export
I can't check this either because exporting doesn't go to the background and I have a bunch of photos to resend now that it's working OK!

Quotes around meta data

Whenever I create a PDF document from within Microsoft Word with the Acrobat toolbar adobe adds in quote marks around my keywords. My tags/keywords in Microsoft do not have any quote marks and all are separated by commas. How do I fix this? I do not want adobe adding in quote marks automatically.
I have Adobe Acrobat Standard XI and am using Microsoft Word 2013. The problem also exists with Acrobat Standard X and Microsoft Word 2010.?
Can adobe please advise on how to fix this problem?
Thank you.

In Microsoft Word there are document properties. One of them is called "tags". When in Microsoft Word when I go to the adobe ribbon and click on the command "Create PDF" it converts the Microsoft Word Document into an Adobe PDF file. It also imports/brings over the document properties. "Tags" is brought over into the adobe PDF file in the meta data as "Keywords".
For example, if I have the following information in the "Tags" property in Microsoft Word: car, truck, vehicle, SUV
Now when it gets converted adobe brings it over into the metadata field of keywords but displays it as: "car, truck, vehicle, SUV"
Adobe adds into the quotes. Does not matter if I use semi colons instead. It has something to do with how adobe interprets the information from the Microsoft Word document. The metadata I am talking about for Adobe exists in the PDF file under "Document Properties", then in the description tab it mentions the fields of: Title: Author: Subject: Keywords: and there is a button also yet for Additional Metadata.

Script to Stop and Start Oracle Meter Data Management

Hi,
This is my first post in Oracle forums so if i open this in the wrong thread please forgive me.
I tried to create a windows batch script to stop and start Oracle Meter Data Management but i can´t.
@echo off
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\splenviron.cmd -e MDMDEV
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\spl.cmd stop
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\splenviron.cmd -e MDMDEV
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\spl.cmd stop
The batch exits in the first command and i can´t understand why.
Another thing is if i use spl.cmd stop command it doesn´t do nothing, is this normal?
Thanks in advanced for all replies.
Best Regards.
Nuno

I had to put a call command in mine. I think it is because you are trying to run a .cmd file within your bat file. You're actually changing shells. Thats why you need the call.
call d:\spl\mdmdev\bin\splenviron.cmd -e mdmdev
call d:\spl\mdmdev\bin\spl.cmd start
I actually set mine up to use variables so all I had to change from script to script was the environment...
<snip>
SET SPLENV=MDMDEV
SET INSTALLDRIVE=D:
SET INSTALLDIR=SPL
SET BINDIR=%INSTALLDRIVE%\%INSTALLDIR%\%SPLENV%\bin
%INSTALLDRIVE%
cd %BINDIR%
REM Set envornment
call %BINDIR%\splenviron.cmd -e %SPLENV%
REM Wait a few seconds for environment to setup
ping localhost -n 5 > nul
REM Start SPL Web
call %BINDIR%\spl.cmd start
</snip>
I was unable to find a way to get this to run as a service. Have you?
I'm currently running these scripts in the startup/shutdown script section of the local machine policy (gpedit.msc).

Hi Nani,
go to transaction IDX2 and try to download
the metadata manually to see if there are
any errors over there
you can also find the same approach
(loading, reloading and comparing metadata) in my book:

Idoc meta data does not come up in trx idx2

Hi there,
Im importing IDOC meta data into XI (using trx idx2) from a CRM 4.0 idoc basic type CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M02.
No idoc meta data is imported, instead the transaction is giving me back an information message: I::0000
When I click on the pop-up window, the description provided is only: "Message no.000"
Does anyone knows what this message really means?
SLD setup is ok, RFC connections are also ok, IDOC port seems also to be OK.
Any feedback is appreciated,
Rob.

Noriko,
this error is authorization related. There are a couple of function groups which are called in the target system and the user in the RFC Destination to the target system might not have sufficient authorization. Just look into transaction SU53 in the target and select the user used in the RFC destination. This should show you the failed authorization checks.
Also SAP Note 940313 some hints on what you can check for this error.
Regards
Christine

Get Table Meta Data with RFC

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to get the meta data from a table or structure using RFCs.
More detailed:
I am using RFCs to read data from tables and structures. It would be nice to have a way to also get the table definitions, like column headers, column types and contraints, etc. using RFC.
Does somebody know how to do that? (My test system is an IDES)
Thanks in advance
Stefan

It's me again,
Today, I had a closer look on what you gave me yesterday. I think the problem is that I asked for the wrong information.
What I am actually looking for isn't meta information for tables, but information about the "Associated Type" that is associated with every import, export, or table parameter of a function module.
If I double-click on one of those types in transaction se37 after choosing a function module, I get a wonderful overview about the structure including 'component', 'component type', 'data type', 'length', etc.
Is there an RFC I can call that gives me exactly this information?
Best,
Stefan
