Basic bw doubt

Hi,
First of all excuse me for asking basic questions.
assuming i've a ff and i'm trying to load to ods and then onto a cube from the ods. my ff is of this order:
custid, matid, quantity.
i;m first loading values like
cust01 mat01 49
after loading this i'm loading again with values
cust01 mat01 83
how will the records look in ods and in cube
during reporting how will it look like.
~rahul

Hi,
as Andrzej already mentioned, your question is a bit unclear but here what I understood.
You load
cust01 mat01 49
and then
cust01 mat01 83
to your ods and after that into the cube.
Now I assume, that custid and matid are the keyfields of your ods and quantity the only data field. If you set the update mode for quantity to overwrite you will see
cust01 mat01 83
after both records.
If you set the update mode to addition you will see
cust01 mat01 132
after both records.
You will see this in your ods as well as in your cube. Basically you might see 49 and 83 if you report also on requestid of your cube. Without requestid it will be just 132.
Hope this helps!

Basic FICO doubt regarding posting expenses....

Hi,
I am an ABAPer. I have a basic FI doubt. We are using Project system in our company. Now for expenses, the employee enters the data in third party systems. Th third party systems then provide us with the data file which will be posted in SAP.
The business says that if a given expense by an employee, has Project status released, then the amount for that expense should be posted to cost center otherwise the amount for that expense should be posted to the project(WBS).
Now what does business people mean by posting expense amount to cost center or posting expense amount to Project (WBS). Where in FI can I see the option of posting amount to cost center versus posting amount to project ? Is there any transaction we can do that ?
Regards,
Rajesh.

when you post to wbs element it is a cost collector which can be settled later, where as cost center is a department. When you have a project, it has on going expenese instead directly posting to a cost center , you are collecting costs in a wbs element and settling it later to cost center. you can post to the wbs element same way as cost center.

Basic ABAP doubts

Hi Experts,
got some basic doubts..hope ppl can help me tackle them..
1. y is sapscript client-specific when smartforms are cross-client ?
2. why exactly are reference fields required for Currency n Quantity Fields ?
3. In SE93, while creating a transaction for an executable program, no variant comes in F4 even wen we have created one for the program, n wen we type in the variant, it says the Transaction is inconsistent.. is it because transaction is cross-client whereas variant is not ??
4. where is DDIC placed?? i mean is it in database or Application server ?
5. why do we need to have a Value table ?
Please dont copy & paste from existing sources..it wud be great if u cud explain in ur own wrds...
all answers wud be appropriately rewarded..
thanks.
bikash

thanks for the reply guys..
Andreas,it wud ve been better if u explain ur answers.
pawan.
1. smartform when activated generates a function module which becomes part of DDIC. so client-independent ... ( arent transparent tables part of DDIC ??? they are client-dependent though )...
2. bcoz when u say amounts like 1000 rupees, 1000 refers to amount and rupees refers to currency unit.
thats ok pawan, but how does it matter if it is rupees or USD or EURO..its anyway a field with lets say 13 digits n 2 decimals..n also the field contains only 1000, not the rupees, that part anyway can be got from the currency field.....
3. did u test in a multiple-client system?? ie, it comes in IDES over here too, i think dats because IDES doesnt have multiple client..
Also, if it has come in a multiple client system, wat ll happen if u run that transaction in a client in which that variant is not there..it ll throw an error right??
4. wat my doubt is that anything that is there, also the definitions has to be stored someweher right?? so isnt the database where everything including the dictionary is stored??
awaiting ur useful responses...

Basic Sensor Doubts

Hi all,
I am having some basic doubts regarding the functionality of the sensor.
case 1
Assume that sensor is in inline mode.Then
1) By default "stop" atomic attacks
2) By default "stop" attacks that span multiple packets
3) By default block IP address or network addresses without "blocking" being configured?
In the above case how is "stoping" an attack differnet from blocking it?
case 2
Assume that sensor is in promiscous mode
1) By default "stop" atomic attacks
2) By default "stop" attacks that span multiple packets
3) By default block IP address or network addresses without "blocking" being configured
Also in this case how is "stoping" an attack different from "blocking" an IP or network address?
Thanks in advance
MD

Doesn't blocking actually drop all traffic from that IP for a specified period while dropping or stopping means it drops the packets as they are triggered?

Basic EJB doubts

Hi,
According to the EJB Specification,
- Entity beans are shared access to the clients. What is it mean?.
- What is Conversational State in Stateful Session Bean?.
- Where and when should i use session bean?. Where and when shouldn't i use session bean?.
- Where and when should i use Entity bean with CMP?.
- Where and when should i use Entity bean with BMP?.
Can anyone explain with example?.
Plz.
Regards,
Senthamizh

Hi,
It has taken me a year to understand the concept of ejb and still I am not sure whether I should use it or not,In fact I had read the orielly's EJB many times and read the basics again and again then I realized how well it was explained in the Orielly.So if the basics are through the orielly is best for undestanding....
- Entity beans are shared access to the clients.
nts. What is it mean?.If you see the forums definition of EJB it says ---->
The EJB platform handles things like transaction and state management, multithreading, resource pooling, and simple searches while you concentrate on writing business logic..
The resource pooling explains the shared access point......
- What is Conversational State in Stateful
eful Session Bean?.Please refer the Orielly Ejb as it would be very vast to explain.Any way in short the conservational state means the state of the object which is being stored for the particular client...If you still did not understand please get back to me.....
- Where and when should i use session bean?.
an?. Where and when shouldn't i use session bean?.
- Where and when should i use Entity bean with
with CMP?.
- Where and when should i use Entity bean with
with BMP?.Please go through the Orielly and if still you dont get I will try my best to explain......Read the book
cooly it is easy to understand if you are good at basics....

Basic JSP doubt

Hi all,
I tried developing a simple login application from one of the tutorials available on NET. I have a login.jsp page which takes the Username and password as input and the corresponding form action is done by a login Servlet. But i get the following error
The requested resource (/onjava/servlet/com.onjava.login) is not available.
Here is my login.jsp page:
<html>
<head>
<title>OnJava Demo</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="document.loginForm.username.focus()">

Here is my web.xml

</servlet>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/onjava</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/taglib.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
</web-app>
I have copied the login.class to WEB-INF/classes/com/onjava/ folder. But still i get the same error. Am i doing anything wrong. Please clarify.

So the tutorial you used is an old one that used the invoker servlet to be able to call un-mapped servlets via /servlet/<class-name>
This pracice is discouraged now, and most of the time the invoker servlet is turned off.
Add this to your web.xml after the <servlet> definition:
        <servlet-mapping>
            <servlet-name>login</servlet-name>
            <url>/login</url>
        </servlet-mapping>then change your form tag to have the action="login". This will map the servlet to a url you want to use. You then invoke that url (when the form is submitted) and get the servlet to run.

Basic BSP Doubt

There are few standard keywords available in pages used in the BSP Application "HAP_DOCUMENT" in the HR Module.
Keyword 'application' used in 'document_todo.htm' refers to a class 'CL_BSP_HAP_DOCUMENT_UI'
I am unable to trace where exactly this class is being instantiated and assigned to the key word 'application'
Regards,
Bharath Mohan B

application class is assigned to BSP application. se80 double click on the application name and go to properties tab. there you will find a field called application class and this class will be entered there.
BSP runtime is responsible for instantiate this class.

Basic servlet doubt

Hi,
I am very much new to servlet technology. I have written a servlet which will display a form containing a link. When the user clicks on the link i want to him to test.html which is stored in my home directory. I don't want to store test.html in my web applications directory. If i keep the file in my web application foler, its working. Here is my code :
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class CustomTagTest extends HttpServlet {
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          out.println("<html>");
          out.println("<head>");
          out.println("<title>Testing custom tags with servlet</title>");
          out.println("</head>");
          out.println("<body bgcolor=pink>");
          out.println("<br><br><br><center>");
          out.println("<form method=post>");
          out.println("<table>");
          out.println("<tr>");
          out.println("<td>Name</td>");
          out.println("<td><input type=text name=userName></td>");
          out.println("</tr>");
          out.println("<tr>");
          out.println("<td>Number</td>");
          out.println("<td><input type=text name=userNo></td>");
          out.println("</tr>");
          out.println("<tr>");
          out.println("<br><br><td><input type=submit value=Submit></td>");
          out.println("<br><br><td><a href=/home/Htmls/test.html>Go to the Shopping Cart</a></td>");
          out.println("</tr>");
          out.println("</table>");
          out.println("</form>");
          out.println("</center>");
          out.println("</body>");
          out.println("</html>");
}Thanks in advance

What is your reason for not wanting test.html in the
web-app directory? Because i want to learn how to forward to a file which is not stored under the web-app directory.
Also, is that href path an
absolute one?I don't know. I have very much confusion over absolute path and relative path. The file is stored under /home/Htmls/test.html. I am using linux OS. And my web-app directory path is /opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/webapps/Myapp.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Basic oaf doubt?

Hi all,
I ve installed jdev and ftp'ed only the HomePG.xml from the mds.. I did not ftp the dependent files required by the HomePG. But when I run the HomePG from jdeveloper, it opens up HomePG with the responsibilities assigned in the browser. How is it possible that the HomePG opens up with out the dependent CO,AM's, VO's etc?

In addition to above, a scenario in which this can happen. Please verify if your case is such.
Its not nencessary to generate any of java files for view objects. OAF can complete its task with base OAViewObjectImpl if we are not using any special purpose java/class file code for vo or vorowimpl.
For AM also similar case and for EO also.
And for controller also.we need no controller if we are not going to write any code.
So a page can exist and run well without any of custom java objects creation.
Now check your page definition, if it has an associated co. If yes, check co code if its referring any vo,eo,am etc. I think your case is above scenario.

Query designer report and Web Templates

Dear All,
I have a very basic/stup doubt.
Are reports made through Bex Query Designer and Web Templates the same?
Actually there is a following requirement:-
"Navigate from a BW Web template to a PCUI application". I have a document related to it but it gives me step on how can i modify my web templates to achieve this functionality. But all my reports are made through query designer and it available to user through Web Dynpro portal.
So i just wanted to know is Web Template and Reports made through query designer the same? So that i can implement the changes in my report.
Thanks.

Hi Anup,
by using web templates we can use N number of data providers (Queries) for a single analysis view with various available options. - N number of Queries can be assigned to Web template to create a web report
but by using the Query designer ,you can create a single report which may not provide sufficient information to the client and the number of features are less compared to web template.
as you mentioned that you are using the web dynpro.
i think the web dynpro requires the web reports as an iview and ths iview can be created by using the Query designer and or web app designer.
so the most clear view can be given to client using the WAD reports

Key generation using DBMS_CRYPTO

Hi,
I have a question about DBMS_CRYPTO pacakge , which can be used for encrypting sensitive data. When we use this package, is it a must that we have to supply the encryption key or is it that the package can itself generate the key? I read in the documentiation about RANDOMBYTES function (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10802/d_crypto.htm#1000530) but I don't know exactly how it can be used.
Basically my doubt is, when we use this package, we have to pass in the encryption key as a parameter and we have to know it or is there a way oracle can entirely take care of it?
Thanks

The way the DBMS_CRYPTO package works is with providing an encryption key to encrypt and to decrypt. I think personal looking at your question and the remarks you place you are looking for a solution like "Oracle Advanced Security", see http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/options/advanced-security/index.html

BLOB image in XML Publisher

Currently we are using 6i reports to generate XML output, which in turn is passed to XML publisher to generate documents.
I am trying to access a blob image from DB in 6i reports. How Can I pass this image to XML publisher.
Basically my doubt is:
How do I incorporate BLOB image from database into XML Publisher? What are the different approaches available?

Hey David, well, this isn't the unique solution for displaying images in XMLP. The other alternative (wich is my plan b) is to have this images in a path in the server. So, you can bring the name of your image (maybe, a signature) from the database; I have test that and works very well.
I'm trying to use an URL because the signatures are stored as BLOBs in the db and I was trying to re-create the file in the server, but it became a little complicated. So, in my case, I just have to resolve any of this issues and I'ld have my images in the reports.
