Best way to check whether the database is demo or sys?

Hi Gurus,
Whats the best way to check whether the installed peoplesoft database is a demo or a sys?
Thanks for the help?
Regards,
Anoop

There is nothing set by default.
However, if it has been configured properly by the administrator after db creation, through the menu Peopletools>Utilities>Administration>Peopletools Options, the following query should return the type of the database :
select systemtype from psoptions;Otherwise the following could help to understand what database you are on.
From HRMS9.1 DMO database :
SQL> select count(*) from ps_employees;
2792From HRMS9.1 SYS database :
SQL> select count(*) from ps_employees;
COUNT(*)
0Nicolas.

What's the best way to check whether a user is logged in or not?

I have a question about basic session handling.
I'm running Tomcat 5.0.30 and have a web application where users can register with a username and password, and then log into a "member site".
What is the best way of making sure that a user actually has logged in or not?
What I've done in previous applications I've made is that I've just put a simple variable into the users session after he has successfully entered his password (i.e. Boolean loggedIn=true). Then I just test if this flag is true to grant him access to the member site. Is that a smart way of doing it?
Are there any libraries I can use which handles sessions for me in a secure way?
All comments and suggestions are appreciated!

Maintain a flag using session attributes it to one when the user is logs in set it to value.... and change set it zero or invalidate that session... when the user is logged out...
use something like this while user had logged in
session.setAttribute("flag",<unique_number>);
for checking whether the user had logged in or not...
if(Integer.parseInt(session.getAttribute("flag").toString())=!<unique_number>){
out.println("The session had expired");
out.close();
}

How is the best way to connect to the Database ?

I just have a question regarding to the connection to the Oracle DB.
Every time I create a new JSP I am writing java code such as:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:DB",
"user",
"pwd");
Is there a way I can reuse the connection that we create on JDeveloper on the tab Connections, under the Database node ?
Because I would like to centralized more the way how I connect to DB.
Thanks!
Giovani

That is a nice solution, but only works if you use embedded OC4J, if not you must define datasources, maybe in standalone OC4J, OAS, JBoss, etc
this is because the embedded OC4J automatically create datasources if it sees database connectiones created through Connections Tab

Oracle AS Web Cache - How to check whether the request goes throught it ?

Hi,
My application runs on Oracle 10g App Server,
The OracleAS Web Cache is also running
the command opmnctl status shows...
WebCache - Alive
WebCacheAdmin - Alive
Is there any way to check whether the request form the client goes through the Web Cache ?
B'coz when i checked OracleAS Web Cache Administrator UI
The information like Total Requests Served, Cahce Hit , Cache Misses etc are 0 and it does'nt changes...
I have the directive keepAlive as[b] off in httpd.conf, will this have an impact over Web Cache ???
Plz suggest me a way to check whether the request goes through Web Cache or directly to Oracle HTTP Server ??
Deepak.C

Keepalive has no impact on webcache, but it does have a huge impact on performance. So far I found no proper reason to put it off in any production system.
Anyway, logging from webcache and/or apache (ias) should show how requests are going from the client to the AS.

Best Way to Check for same Word in string?

If I have an array of words, would the best way to check for the same word be to use 2 for loops?

Huh?
Sounds like homework...
What is a word? Presumably a String.
For equality of Strings you use...
    String s1 = ....
    String s2 =....
    if (s1 == s2) { equal depending on null case
    else if ((s1 != null) && (s1.equals(s2))) { equal }
For the case of checking one array to another....
      while items in array1
             get itema from array1
                  while items in array2
                       get itemb array2
                              is itemb equal (see above) to itema
                                     yes - then do something

Is there a way to check whether an Excel file has a header or not?

Hi!
I'm currently using POI Utility to read and write Excel files.
You normally use the HasHeaderRow = true / false to specify whether the file has a header or not.
Now, let's say I have a program that needs to read Excel files from a directory, some have headers, some don't.
Is there a way to know dynamically whether a header has been defined or not?
Then, for those having headers, the flag will be set as true, while for those which don't have any header, the flag will be set as false.
E.g.

    <cfset objPOI = CreateObject(
        "component",
        "POIUtility"
        ).Init()
        />

<cfset currentDirectory = GetDirectoryFromPath(GetTemplatePath()) & "newDir">

<cfif DirectoryExists(variables.currentDirectory)>
     
     <cfdirectory action="list" directory="#variables.currentDirectory#" type="file" filter="*.xls" name="qDirectory">
     
     <cfif variables.qDirectory.recordcount gt 0>
          
     <cfloop query="variables.qDirectory">
               
                    IF headerExists THEN
                         headerFlag = true
                    ELSE
                         headerFlag = false
                    END IF
               
            <cfset objSheet = objPOI.ReadExcel(FilePath = #variables.qDirectory.name#, HasHeaderRow = #variables.headerFlag#, SheetIndex = 0) />
          </cfloop>
     </cfif>
</cfif>
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks and regards,
Yogesh Mahadnac

Hi cfSearching,
Many thanks for your reply! I really do appreciate!
However, I've still got 1 more question for you.
At the moment, I'm using POI and sometimes cfx_Excel2Query to read Excel files.
In both cases, you have to specify whether the first row is a header.
How would you read the Excel file to check whether the 1st row is the header?
I've tried using cffile, but I get all sorts of "garbage"
        <cffile action="read" file="#variables.filename#" variable="xlsResult">
        <cfloop index="i" list="#variables.xlsResult#" delimiters="#chr(13)#&#chr(10)#">
            <cfif variables.i eq 1>
                <cfoutput>
                    Test 1st Row: #trim(replacenocase(listgetat(variables.i,1,","),'"',"","All"))#
                </cfoutput>
            </cfif>
        </cfloop>
I get the following output:
ÐÏ à¡± á��.... etc etc
I'd be very much grateful if you could please advise on the latter at your earliest convenience.
Thanks and best regards,
Yogesh Mahadnac

How to check whether the vendor invoice was reversed (MR8M & FB08)

hi,
need to check whether the vendor invoice has been reversed. Posting of the vendor invoice as well as its reversal may happen in FI (e.g. FB60 - FB08) and MM (MIRO - MR8M). have developed a custom function based on the values of the fields: stblg, stjah,... (for fb08) and rebzg, rebzj,rebzz (for mr8m) and trans type but not sure this is the right way.
Is there a bapi (e.g. similar to BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_REV_CHECK) , sap function or at least a report to as a sample. Any help appreciated.
Thank you,
victor

Viktor, We have always used the table fields values you have listed to determine if the invoice has been reversed or cancelled...

How to check whether the user has a certificate or not?

Hi everyone.
We're currently finishing a web project and the last step is to check whether users accessing the application have a valid certificate or not.
Users with a valid certificate can access all the data. Users without any certificate installed on their browsers may still proceed, but they won't be able to see all data. Please note that the lack of a certificate doesn't mean an error - it's just another use case.
Is there any way to check whether users have a certificate installed on their browsers?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: sorry, I forgot to post some tech details. We're using Struts 1.2 on a Tomcat 5 app server.
Message was edited by:

I am not sure how Tomcat handles this, but you need to use two-way (mutual authentication) request but not enforce SSL between Tomcat and the client browser. This will make the browser prompt the user for the cert they want to send. Then you'll need to tackle the other part of your problem, getting the correct content displayed depending on whether the user sent a cert or not. I'm even less help there than I was on the first part of your question.
So, yeah - good luck with that

How to check Whether the File is in Progress or used by some other resource

Hi All,
I am retrieving a file from the FTP server using Apache commons FTP.
I need to check whether the file is fully retrieved or in progress.
for now i can able to use the file which is partially retrieved. it is not throwing any file sharing exception or i am unable to find whether it is in progress.
How to check whether the file is in progress ? or The file is accessed by some other resource ?
Pls Help me.
Thanks,
J.Kathir

Hi Vamsi,
Explicitly such kind of requirement has not been catered and i dont think you would face a problem because any application that is writing to a file will open the file in the read only mode to any other simultaneous applications so i think your concerns although valid are already taken care off .
In the remote case you still face a problem then as a work around. Tell the FTP administrator to set the property to maximum connections that can be made to ftp as one. I wonder if you have heard of the concept of FTP handle , basically the above workaround is based on that concept itself. This way only one application will be able to write.
The file adapter will wait for its turn and then write the files.

How to check whether the Application Server directory exits or not

Hi,
I have a selection screen in which I give the Application server file name(UNIX file) as input. Here, I would like to check whether the Server directory exists or not.
Let us say, the path I gave in the selection screen is /usr/sap/tmp/testfile.txt . Here, the file name is testfile.txt and the server directory is /usr/sap/tmp . I would like to check whether this directory /usr/sap/tmp exists in the server or not. I am not bothered about the file name as I am going to write data into the file. I am mainly concerned about whether the directory exists in the server or not. and one more thing... this is the Application Server path not the Local path.
Can anyone help me on the same how to check whether the server directory exists or not.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pradeep.

Also you can use the FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING for this purpose.
Store the directory name
    l_dpath = p_file+0(l_no).
Validate the directory of the application server
    CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
      EXPORTING
        dir_name               = l_dpath
      TABLES
        dir_list               = l_i_dlist
      EXCEPTIONS
        invalid_eps_subdir     = 1
        sapgparam_failed       = 2
        build_directory_failed = 3
        no_authorization       = 4
        read_directory_failed = 5
        too_many_read_errors   = 6
        empty_directory_list   = 7
        OTHERS                 = 8.
If any problem occurs with the directory then display proper
error message
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    Display error message
      MESSAGE e018 WITH 'Problem with directory entered'(008).
    ENDIF. " sy-subrc <> 0

How to check whether the system has eclipse environment: urgent

Hi gurus
can you please tell me how to check whether my crm system has eclipse envirionment.
Thanks
shashi

There is no way to check whether a system is used productively or not, I believe what you mean is checking a client is productive or not in an ABAP-stack based system. Remember although a SAP ABAP system is identified by a SID but from a business perspective the system is recognized by a client, as it is a unique business identity.
Thus, to check whether the client is productive or not in txn SCC4 check the role of the client, it will show you the correct status. The data of SCC4 is stored in table T000, you can also opt to check that.
