BPF - Execute Step from Web

Hi all
We are running SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP7 patch 1.
When we execute a BPF step from the 'Interface for the Web', before the system executes the step in the 'Interface for Excel', the system prompts for the AppSet, Application (i.e the login box is activated). The User authentication model currently being used is via LDAP. Is there any way to avoid this prompt (ie. automatically log in to appset) before the BPF Step is executed.
Thanks, Craig

Any suggestions?
This occurs in Microsoft version too.
Thanks!

Get step name of currently executing step from post expression tab

Hi,
I am trying to create a custom step type that records the step name and step results in an array. I have been having trouble trying to access the Step Name property from the post-expressions tab.
One option is to use locals.resultslist[], however, that is only populated once the step executes and hence i cannot access its name through post-expressions. Is there any other property that contains the step name, that may be populated correctly before the post expression is executed?

I just realized, this has been posted under LabView. Please disregard this, I am putting it under Test Stand.

Workflow not proceeding, when decision workitem is executed from WEB UI

Hi Gurus,
We are using the standard user decision task(TS00008267) in a custom workflow.If we execute the Decision task workitem from the SAP Inbox(backend SAP GUI) then if we see the workflow log the outcome of the decision task is being populated in WIRESULT & _RESULT fields and the flow is proceeding further and the workflow is working fine.
But If we execute the same Decision task workitem from the CRM Portal worklist (WEB UI) and see the workflow log the Outcome is being populated in Process & Process fields Overwriting WIRESULT & _RESULT the field names. The decision task status is set to 'Completed' and the workflow is not proceeding further and the workflw status remain 'in process'.
I am not sure whether any settings to be made in the backend to make it work and flow the data from WEB UI to bakend? if so please let me know the setings . or
Please let us know the solution.
regards,
Sateesh.

Hi Govil,
Thanks.
The agent assignent is fine and the task is also made as general task . Even the object i am using is standard 'BUS2000120' not the custom one.
i feel the problem may be due to someworkflow settings between Web UI and backend. Let me know if any settings like such (apart from SWU3).
Any more suggesstions please????

CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR when executing MDX in BW from WebI

Hi,
we have a CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR with error code
"CPIC-CALL: 'ThCMSEND' : cmRc=18 thRc=0#Statistics not active "
in programm SAPLRSOB and FM BAPI_MDDATASET_GET_AXIS_DATA.
Can this be a timeout in the connection from BOBJ to BW? Or is it another error. Any help is appreciated!
Just for Info, on BW we are still on 3.5 - waiting for an upgrade.
Thanks your answers!

Hi
I would recommend to trace the MDX statement created from WebI and check if your restrictions are indeed porpagated through the MDX statement.
Have a look at the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes):
Unix : Note 1235111
Windows : Note 1260004
Which version of BOBJ are you using? Which is the patch level of your SAP BW server?

Backup/Recovery from web application

Hello guys,
I am using Oracle 9i as DB and Oracle 9iAS for web application server. I want to provide Backup and Recovery functionality to the user via web. I don't know any thing in this regard.
Is it possible that we can take backup and recovery from web application?
Is there any alternative for this function.
any other comments will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Read this article in order to get an idea about Java Stored Procedures.
Oracle Developer JAVA STORED PROCEDURES
Simplify with Java Stored Procedures
By Kuassi Mensah
Use Java stored procedures to bridge SQL, XML, Java, and J2EE and Web Services.
Stored procedures allow a clean separation of persistence logic that runs in the database tier from business logic that runs in the middle tier. This separation reduces overall application complexity and increases reuse, security, performance, and scalability.
A major obstacle, however, for widespread adoption of stored procedures is the set of various proprietary, database-dependent implementation languages that different database vendors use. The use of Java-based stored procedures fixes this concern. Oracle has implemented ANSI standards that specify the ability to invoke static Java methods from SQL as procedures or functions. This implementation is called simply "Java stored procedures."
In this article, you will learn how Java stored procedures help simplify and increase the performance of your business logic and extend database functionality. I'll show how Oracle enables the use of Java stored procedures within the database. I'll also look at how Java stored procedures access data, and show how to create a basic Java stored procedure.
PL/SQL or Java
When you think of Oracle stored procedures, you probably think of PL/SQL. Oracle, however, has provided Java support in the database since Oracle8i, to offer an open and portable alternative to PL/SQL for stored procedures. I can hear the $64,000 question: "How do I choose between PL/SQL and Java? Should I forget all the things I've been told about PL/SQL and move on to the greener Java pastures?"
Both languages are suitable for database programming, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. In deciding which language to use, here's a general rule of thumb:
Use PL/SQL for database-centric logic that requires seamless integration with SQL and therefore complete access to database objects, types, and features.
Use Java as an open alternative to PL/SQL for database independence, but also for integrating and bridging the worlds of SQL, XML, J2EE, and Web services.
OracleJVM Lets You Run Java within the Database
Since Oracle8i, Release 1 (Oracle 8.1.5), Oracle has offered a tightly integrated Java virtual machine (JVM) that supports Oracle's database session architecture. Any database session may activate a virtually dedicated JVM during the first Java code invocation; subsequent users then benefit from this already Java-enabled session. In reality, all sessions share the same JVM code and staticsonly private states are kept and garbage collected in an individual session space, to provide Java sessions the same session isolation and data integrity capabilities as SQL operations. There is no need for a separate Java-enabled process for data integrity. This session-based architecture provides a small memory footprint and gives OracleJVM the same linear SMP scalability as the Oracle database.
Creating Java Stored Procedures
There are a few steps involved in turning a Java method into a Java stored procedure. These include loading the Java class into the database using the loadjava utility, and publishing the Java methods using a call specification (Call Spec) to map Java methods, parameter types, and return types to their SQL counterparts. The following section shows how to do this.
I'll use a simple Hello class, with one method, Hello.world(), that returns the string "Hello world":
public class Hello
public static String world ()
return "Hello world";
The Loadjava Utility
Loadjava is a utility for loading Java source files, Java class files, and Java resource files; verifying bytecodes; and deploying Java classes and JAR files into the database. It is invoked either from the command line or through the loadjava() method contained within the DBMS_JAVA class. To load our Hello.class example, type:
loadjava -user scott/tiger Hello.class
As of Oracle9i Release 2, loadjava allows you to automatically publish Java classes as stored procedures by creating the corresponding Call Specs for methods contained in the processed classes. Oracle provides Oracle9i JDeveloper for developing, testing, debugging, and deploying Java stored procedures.
The Resolver Spec
The JDK-based JVM looks for and resolves class references within the directories listed in the CLASSPATH. Because Oracle database classes live in the database schema, the OracleJVM uses a database resolver to look for and resolve class references through the schemas listed in the Resolver Spec. Unlike the CLASSPATH, which applies to all classes, the Resolver Spec is applied on a per-class basis. The default resolver looks for classes first in the schema in which the class is loaded and then for classes with public synonyms.
loadjava -resolve <myclass>
You may need to specify different resolvers, and you can force resolution to occur when you use loadjava, to determine at deployment time any problems that may occur later at runtime.
loadjava -resolve -resolver "((* SCOTT) (foo/bar/* OTHERS)
(* PUBLIC))"
Call Spec and Stored Procedures Invocation
To invoke a Java method from SQL (as well as from PL/SQL and JDBC), you must first publish the public static method through a Call Spec, which defines for SQL the arguments the method takes and the SQL types it returns.
In our example, we'll use SQL*Plus to connect to the database and define a top-level Call Spec for Hello.world():
SQL> connect scott/tiger
SQL> create or replace function helloworld return
VARCHAR2 as language java name 'Hello.world () return
java.lang.String';
Function created.
You can then invoke the Java stored procedure as shown below:
SQL> variable myString varchar2[20];
SQL> call helloworld() into :myString;
Call completed.
SQL> print myString;
MYSTRING
Hello world
Java stored procedures are callable, through their Call Spec, from SQL DML statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, CALL, EXPLAIN PLAN, LOCK TABLE, and MERGE), PL/SQL blocks, subprograms, and packages, as well as database triggers. The beauty of Call Spec is that stored procedure implementations can change over time from PL/SQL to Java or vice versa, transparently to the requesters.
Call Spec abstracts the call interface from the implementation language (PL/SQL or Java) and therefore enables sharing business logic between legacy applications and newer Java/J2EE-based applications. At times, however, when invoking a database-resident Java class from a Java client, you may not want to go through the PL/SQL wrapper. In a future release, Oracle plans to provide a mechanism that will allow developers to bypass the Call Spec.
Advanced Data-Access Control
Java stored procedures can be used to control and restrict access to Oracle data by allowing users to manipulate the data only through stored procedures that execute under their invoker's privileges while denying access to the table itself. For example, you can disable updates during certain hours or give managers the ability to query salary data but not update it, or log all access and notify a security service.
Sharing Data Logic Between Legacy and J2EE Applications
Because legacy applications and J2EE applications both invoke stored procedures through the Call Spec, the same data logic can be shared between J2EE and non-J2EE worlds. Thanks to Call Spec, this data logic can be shared regardless of the implementation language used (whether PL/SQL or Java).
Autogeneration of Primary Keys for BMP Entity Beans
When using BMP for EJB entity beans, a bean instance can be uniquely identified by the auto-generated primary key associated with the newly inserted data as a return value for ejbCreate(). You can retrieve this value within ejbCreate() in one database operation by using a stored procedure that inserts the corresponding data and retrieves or computes the primary key. Alternatively, you could insert the data and retrieve the corresponding key (or ROWID) in one SQL statement, using the RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS feature in JDBC 3.0. However, the stored procedure approach is more portable across JDBC driver versions and databases.
You can implement this pattern with these three steps:
Create the Java stored procedure, defining a public static Java method insertAccount() within a public GenPK class. This method will insert data, compute a unique key (by passing out a sequence number), and return the computed key as primary key.
Define the Call Spec.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insertAccount(owner IN
varchar, bal IN number, newid OUT number)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'GenPK.insertAccount(
java.lang.String [])';
Invoke the stored procedure within ejbCreate().
Public AccountPK ejbCreate(String ownerName, int balance) throws CreateException
try {
CallableStatement call = conn.prepareCall{
"{call insertAccount(?, ?, ?)}"};
return new AccountPK(accountID);
Custom Primary Key Finders for CMP Entity Beans
Finder methods are used for retrieving existing EJB entity bean instances. Primary key finders allow you to retrieve a uniquely identified EJB instance. For CMP entity beans, the EJB container automatically generates the primary key finder findByPrimaryKey() method, based on declarative description. In some situations, however, you might need more control; for example, you may need a specialized finder such as findByStoredProcKey(). In these situations, you can use Java stored procedures in conjunction with an object relational framework (such as Oracle9i Application Server [Oracle9iAS] TopLink) to implement a custom primary key finder method. After you define the EJB finder as a REDIRECT or NAMED finder, TopLink will generate the SQL query for retrieving the bean instance.
Data-Driven EJB Invocation
In a data-driven architecture, business logic invocation can be triggered as a result of database operations (such as inserts, updates, or deletes). A Java stored procedure implementing the data logic can be declared as a database trigger to invoke EJBs running in a middle-tier J2EE application server. You can make EJB calls by using either standard remote method invocation (RMI) over Interoperable Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP), using a J2EE 1.3 compatible server, or RMI over a vendor-specific transport protocol (such as ORMI with Oracle9iAS/OC4J or RMI over T3 with BEA WebLogic). Each application server vendor has its own optimized protocol while providing RMI over IIOP for interoperability. Oracle9iAS supports both RMI calls over IIOP and ORMI protocols.
Data-Driven Messaging
Oracle9i Database embeds Advanced Queuing (AQ), which is an integrated, persistent, reliable, secure, scalable, and transactional message-queuing framework. Oracle exposes AQ features to Java developers through the standard Java Messaging System (JMS) API. Java stored procedures can invoke AQ operations through the JMS interface to allow fast, intra-session, scalable, data-driven messaging.
Java stored procedures can use JMS to invoke AQ operations. You can implement this pattern in four steps:
Create and start the JMS Queue (to do so, embed the following operations within a SQL script):
execute dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(queue_table =>
'queue1', queue_payload_type =>
'SYS.AQ$_JMS_TEXT_MESSAGE', comment => 'a test queue',
multiple_consumers => false, compatible => '8.1.0');
execute dbms_aqadm.create_queue( queue_name => 'queue1',
queue_table => 'queue1' );
execute dbms_aqadm.start_queue(queue_name => 'queue1');
Create the Java stored procedure (a code snippet is shown):
public static void runTest(String msgBody)
try
// get database connection
ora_drv = new OracleDriver();
db_conn = ora_drv.defaultConnection();
// setup sender (cf online code sample)
// create message
s_msg = s_session.createTextMessage(msgBody);
// send message
sender.send(s_msg);
s_session.commit();
// receive message
r_msg = (TextMessage) receiver.receive();
r_session.commit();
// output message text
String body = r_msg.getText();
System.out.println("message was '"+body+"'");
Create the Call Spec:
create or replace procedure jmsproc (t1 IN VARCHAR)
as language java name 'jmsSample.main (java.lang.String[])';
Invoke the stored procedure:
call jmsproc('hello');
Database-Assisted Web Publishing (Cache Invalidation)
One of the common issues application architects must face is how to cache database information reliably to increase overall system performance. JCACHE is an upcoming standard specification (JSR 107) that addresses this problem. It specifies an approach for temporary, in-memory caching of Java objects, including object creation, shared access, spooling, invalidation, and consistency across JVMs. It can be used to cache read-mostly data such as product catalogs and price lists within JSP. Using JCACHE, most queries will have response times an order of magnitude faster because of cached data (in-house testing showed response times about 15 times faster).
In order to track all the changes to the origin data and refresh the cached data, a Java stored procedure is attached to a table as a trigger. Any change to this table will result in the automatic invocation of this stored procedure, which in turn will call out a defined JSP to invalidate the JCACHE object that maps its state to the database table. Upon invalidation, the very next query will force the cache to be refreshed from the database. Next Steps

Extending Database Functionality
One of the great things about running Java code directly in the database is the ability to implement new functionality by simply loading the code or library and using the Call Spec to make the entry points (public static methods) available to SQL, PL/SQL, Java, J2EE, and non-Java APIs. Oracle9i Database customers can easily extend database functionality. Oracle itself leverages this capability for new utilities and packages such as the XML Developer Kits (XDKs).
Bridging SQL, PL/SQL, Java, J2EE, .NET, and XML
The Oracle XDK is written in Java and exposes its public methods as Java stored procedures, extending the database's XML programmability. SQL, PL/SQL, Java, J2EE, and non-Java (.NET) business logic all have access to the XML parser, the XSLT processor, the XPath engine, and XML SQL Utility (XSU).
The XML parser is accessible through the xmlparser and xmldom packages. XSU is a Java utility that generates an XML document from SQL queries or a JDBC ResultSet, and writes data from an XML document into a database table or view. Using XSU, XML output can be produced as Text, DOM trees, or DTDs. XSU is exposed to PL/SQL through the dbms_xmlquery and dbms_xmlsave packages.
Conclusion
The integration of the Oracle database with a Java VM enables the creation of portable, powerful, database-independent data logic and persistence logic. The loose coupling of business logic that runs in the middle tier with data logic that runs in the database tier improves application scalability, performance, flexibility, and maintenance.

Call / trigger an ECC workflow step from PI ?

Hi,
For a flow "ext (file) -> PI -> ECC (workflow)", from PI, I need to run / execute / trigger () a workflow step in ECC, which already exist. I think that I can acheive this by creating an abap proxy in ECC in which I will call a Bapi or Method to run / execute / trigger () this workflow step. I don't know exactly how for the moment (in parallel I'm doing search about it), but that's not the matter.
before to waste time by searching in this way, what's the best solution to call an ECC workflow step from PI ?
Many thanks.
Mickael
(*) maybe I don't use the good terminology. Sorry.

hi Shabarish,
I'm confortable with web service, IDoc, RFC/bapi and abap proxy (and ...), but here, I prefer to use abap proxy (asynch + sxmb_moni in ecc) except if there is another better approach
else as in PI we have ccBPM, so a workflow , as in ECC we have also workflow , does my approach (abap proxy & call method) is the good one ? or is there a better way between these two workflow tools: PI + ECC ? like a standard "workflow module" or a workflow "connexion" ? (I fear I know the answer but I would prefer to be sure),
Note: I'm in PI 7.11 SP06 and ECC 6.0.
Regards.

Pass Parameters to an external appl when launched from web dynpro ABAP .

I want to Pass Paramaters to an external application when launced from Web dynpro ABAP . I have successfully launched an .exe file ( Notepad / eViewHSEditor ) from Web dynpro using the logic from Standard WD_TEST_APPL_ACFEXECUTE component But I am unable to Pass paramters to the .exe file .
example :- I would like to pass parameters text1 text2 in the arugement list and I expect it opens an untitled notepad and in the file it will have parameters text1 text2 . But it is behaving in a different way . Below are the detailed steps of what I have done .
The steps that I followed :-
1) Right now I have created the white list Configuration for Notepad.exe
2) I have created 1 and 2 postions both of type string and permission Legal .
3) The Paramter Value is * for both 1 and 2 .
4) I activated the whitelist and it generated an .XML file
5)
          application = 'C:
WINDOWS
system32
notepad.exe'.
          argument = 'text1 text2' .
          co_element :- I am reading the element from the conrtext .
      co_element = wd_context->get_lead_selection( ).
      co_element_stru-attribute_name = 'ERROR'.
      co_element_stru-element = co_element.
      wd_this->acf_method_handler->if_wd_acfexecute~execute( application = application
                                                             argumentlist = argument
                                                             errorinformation = co_element_stru ).
when i execute the application , it is trying to launch a notepad with file 'text1 text2.txt' and it doesn't have one , it is asking do you want to create . If You yes, it will open notepad with name 'text1 text2.txt' . If you Pass abcd in the arugement list , if the file with name abcd.txt exists , it opens the notepad with that file name .

You try to open notepad from your PC with the same command, you will the same result.
start->run->notepad "test1 test2". You get the popup saying that "test1 test2" file is not existing. You can google it to find a way to pass the text while opening notepad and try to fit that in your WebDynpro argument. I doubt if it is possible though.

How to approve the step from java program ?

Hi all,
I want to approve a step from java program.
I call the store function "wf_notification.setattrtext" & "wf_notification.respond".
It's not work.
The notification's status become to 'CLOSE', but PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS is 'IN PROCESS'.
And I try to approve the flow from oracle web gui and it's OK !

Hi,
the JavaAPI didn't work with the xdo-Files. But you can create a proxy stub for the Web Service API of BI Publisher which uses the xdo's in the repository.

Design Problem When SSIS Get String From Web to Do Fuzzy Lookup

Hi!
In my previous post Search Data by Fuzzy Lookup in Real Time
Scenario, I've tested required functions to build a sample website and SSIS, now it's time to polish my design. Since user will query a name from Web, SSIS is supposed to get a string to do
Fuzzy Lookup. I wonder how I can design to let fuzzy lookup consume String as input instead of a structure (like OLE DB, EXCEL, Flat File, etc ) .
Now I use table as datasource to do a fake input. The SQL_CMD variable will dynamically be replaced from Web input. It seems Fuzzy Lookup component needs a structure to be an input.
Do you have any design idea for my scenario ? Thank you!

How are you executing the fuzzy lookup package ? Is it using command line or using asp.net code ?
In SSIS package we can create variables and assign any strings to these variables while running the ssis package in asp.net.
Refer

Also have you gone through SOUNDEX option of TSQL

Automize Create a PDF From Web Page

I am trying to create PDF's from a list of 100+ web pages / URLs.
I would like to automize the process as to save me time.
(I have been doing some research but I am a newbie when it comes to programing / scripting / coding)
My questions are
1) Is it possible to write a script to execute Acrobat's Create PDF from Web Page option in order to automize a long list of URLs?
Something along the lines of .bat file (reading something like)
acrobat.exe "http://www.google.com" "%CD%\GoogleTest.pfd"
acrobat.exe "http://www.yahoo.com" "%CD%\YahooTest.pdf"
2) If it is possible to script / automize Acrobat's Create PDF from Web Page can you lead me to the right direction as to what programs I need to write a script (if any) and any examples of how the script would be written would be extremely helpful
Thank you for your time

You can post your question in the forum for Acrobat Scripting or Acrobat SDK.

Debug error: Errors while executing step

Hi gurus:
While debugging a complex mapping, I received the following error.
DEPENDENCY: EXPR executing...
Errors while executing step

As a background, the error occurred at EXPR step which is calling a function. Function calls additional tables in the source schema (tables not brought into Staging) I have imported the Package from the DB (Target) Do I need to do something special for the function to be able to access the tables in the source schema?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I ran into a similar problem about a year ago. Very random, but kept happening at least once a week. Finally figured out that the static IP address for our server was left in the dynamic IP address pool. So every so often, the address was dynamically assigned to a second machine. Which caused a similar type of problem that you are seeing. I don't know if this is your problem. But it sounds familiar.
Hope it helps.

Calling Batch input from Web Dynpro - any alternatives for table updates?

Hi!
I am asked to create a screen in Web Dynpro for the GJ30 transaction (JV Cutback mapping of WBS' elements). I created a remote enabled function module which call batch input for GJ30 . Testing the Function modules direclty goes fine, but not calling the function module from WD. then I get the same error message as when I once tried to call SAP GUI from Web Dynpro ( Call transaction /submit program).
My next step is to try to create a batch input session (instead of call transaction) and run it using rsbdcsub, and then check the result of the run. But maybe this will fail of the same reason as well, and I suppose this will make the user waiting longer for the response .
I read somewhere that Web Dynpro does not support batch Input. But what can you do when there are no standard BAPI's for the update you want to do in SAP ? We are not supposed to do direct table updates.
Anyone who have struggled with the same issues and found a solution??
regards, Tine

Hi,
as BDC is calling screens and in Webdynpro ABAP you cannot use SAP GUI sceeen, you are getting short dump.
Refer CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR in webservices from r/3 system

Trigger File Generation to a Server from Web Dynpro Application

Hi Everybody! Hope you had a good new years eve
Is it possible to generate a File on a Server outgoing from Web Dynpro?
I tried to use GUI_DOWNLOAD. But as I couldn't use the GUI_DOWNLOAD from the Web Dynpro, I wrote a Report "ZCMI_EXPORT_FILE" that generates a Text-File. When I start the Report by myself, the file gets generated. All fine.
To be able to generate the File from Web Dynpro, I created a Batch Input Function Module, that I call in the Web Dynpro. The File is not created and it does not show any errors.
Do you have any idea how i can get this working? I'd also be happy with a different approach.
Best Regards and Thanks,
Steffen

HI,
GUI_DOWNLOAD does not get's executed in the Backgroud.
there is no way to do it as a background job.. create the folder.. transfer the file to the application server in the backgorund using OPEN DATASET... use the tcode CG3Y to download the file from the app server to your folder..
