CAD Interface Help

Hi all. Apologies if this query is on the wrong forum but here goes.
I have currently written an interface between our CAD/PDM system and SAP using the cad dialog library. This is mainly to create/change Materials & BOM's. I have been asked to transfer Classification information through this interface and have become a little stuck. I have used the cadsampl.c file which comes with the SAPgui as reference and have managed to create a material with a class type and class number using the function 'MATCR' but I am struggling to transfer the characteristic value across using the function 'matcr cr'. Any suggestions ?

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution for this?
For reference, my question is located over here: OverFlowException on Oracle ODBC RowCount

Auto cad interface in sap

how can i do Auto cad interface in sap
Edited by: sreekanth chowdary on Feb 10, 2009 4:28 PM

Hi,
What would you like to do exactly, Create a Drawing and Save it SAP?
If you can do it in OLE then goto Transaction DWDM. There click on Demo for OLE container under Office Integration tree.
This shows how to interact with Paint, Video clip PPT's and so on.
This might be useful for your exploration getting new ideas. All the best.
Thanks,

Cad Interface

Dear all
What is the integration process of any cad package with SAP?
If my company uses 3D modeling software like ProE, Catia and I want to transfer documents, Material master and BOM details to SAP with seamless or batch mode options then what is the standard methodology ?

CAD interface and PRO-E interface

hi
i am new to DMS
i just want to know, how the cad interface can be linked with SAP-DMS....?
some thing like activation or some process is required? CAD licence is a must?
how can i integrate?
pls update me on this issue
wht about pro-

Hello,
You will need liscenced CAD application and Interface.
You will have to install proper CAD interface for proper CAD application. You will have to do necessary configuration settings.
Once integration is in place you can create DIR's, Materials, BOMs etc from CAD application.
CIDEON interface is available for AutoCAD, Autodesk, Inventor, Solidedge and Solidworks integration.
Interface from reissengineering is available for ProE intrgration.
Hope this information is useful to you.

SAP CAD Interface

Hello,
Does any one let me know how to proceed for interfacing the SAP system 4.7 with CAD software?
I am unable to find the documentation on how to create the connection between SAP and CAD.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
I am not a CAD+SAP expert, but afaik, the communication between CAD and SAP is happening with so-called Dialog-RFC.
A document I have found that might be interesting to look into is <a href="http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/CACAD/CACAD.pdf">available here</a>.

Performance issue with XI interfaces - Help Needed

Hi all,
       We are having idoc->xi->file. We have the design of collecting the idocs as the standard example BpmPatternCollectTime.
        We have given the collection time of say 5minutes after the first idoc hits the BPM process. The issue is that the idoc messages are getting missed when we are sending 1000 idocs. Also after applying the note 898131 for the correction of missing idocs we got the problem of the timeout exception not being triggered and workflow instance is waiting for a longtime until all the messages are getting into BPM and is getting struck in the queue.
        We are into XI 3.0 SP13. Can anyone provide some help in optimizing the interfaces/server settings/etc..
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jayakirshnan,
check if this helps, whether you have optimal number of dialog processes.

Will an audio interface help?

I'm looking to get started with GB using my Yamaha Clavinova. I've managed to get the keyboard connected through its built in USB midi interface, but when playing software instruments there seems to be a limitation on how fast, and how many keys I can play simultaneously. Too many or too fast, and the sound drops out.
I've started looking at audio interfaces like the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, but I'm not sure if it will help me much with midi. I'm not as interested in recording live instruments or vocals although I may in the future. My main desire is to use the software instruments.

Interface help needed (Edirol FA-66) - works with Tiger, not Leopard

I have an Edirol FA66 that works fine on my Macbook running Tiger, but doesn't show up as a device on my iMac running Leopard. Can anyone help please? Thanks....

I used Edirol FA-66 interface successfully with my Intel iMac using Tiger & Logic, iTunes etc for a year, and it worked great. I upgraded from 10.4.4 to 10.4.11 when the system wouldn't recognize M-Audio Radium keyboard. After the upgrade keyboard is on board but now FA-66 doesn't work at all, crackles, static, no sound or device recognition. Must be some glitch in 10.4.11..? Downgraded and the keyboard is gone. Upgraded and the interface is gone. Crazy!
If I buy Leopard, will it resolve both?? I don't want to get Leopard and weigh down my system with all the stuff that goes with it and have the Edirol stuck in the same situation. Is there anyone out there who has experienced this and can recommend a particular version of Leopard?
Thank you
Mara

Interface Help

Hi,
I'm a new java programmer and I have a question on interfaces...
I have a List<SecurityRole>, where each security role implements GrantedAuthority.
I have a method that needs to return List<GrantedAuthority>
How can I return the original list, but in GrantedAuthority form?
Thanks!

Ok, here's the applicable code. The UserDetails inteface calls for the method getAuthorities with return type List<GrantedAuthority>. So I can't just return the roles field from User. Can anyone help?
SecurityRole.java
public class SecurityRole implements GrantedAuthority {
   private String userId;
   private String role;
public String getAuthority() {
   return getRole();
....User.java
public class User implements UserDetails {
    private String userName;
    private String password;
    private String userType;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    List<SecurityRole> roles;
public List<GrantedAuthority> getAuthorities() {
   return roles;     // doesn't work
}

Interface help please

Hello,
Am logic 7.1- PM g5 user.
Earlier I got some good advice from Rohan (on this group) and have narrowed my choice of an audio interface down to RME fireface or Metro Halo. He also ofilled in another I had about recording from them. So, now just to choose one device in particular. I am using m-audio now -1814 and have no compatibility issues. WOuld like to keep that but want to upgrade the unit primarily for better converters.
So, please any suggestions based on knowledge or experience will help greatly.
Best,
Doug

MH stuff is really good, if you need alot of gain from a 2882 it will get noisy. I have little problems on recordings with high SPLs (like drum kits)-converters, support and drivers are all great. No complaints. ULN2 is the same conversion with great pres. Can't go wrong with either unit, IMO. I love their portability and sound. Think of them as a RME/Motu traveler. If mobility is no issue then RME would typically be the better choice.

SQLData interface help required please

Hi,
i need some help with the following problem.
I have an object with a lot of data elements (100ish), some of them scalar (varchar2's etc), some are "type table of varchar2" and some are "type table of sql_object". I want to write a java stored procedure (SQLData interface?) that can update the values in this object.
I can, of course, populate the values from pl/sql no problem BUT as im populating the data values from a large XML source (i.e. multiple xpath operations) it takes time in pl/sql (takes abount 1 sec which is too long for our buisness need here). I am attributing to slowness due to the large amount of context switches from pl/sql to java).
i have tried making a small sample object to prove the concept of the SqlData in dealing with objects that have nested objects and arrays but i am getting problems in getting it to work with nested objects!.
my noddy example:
------------------- inner.java ---------------
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.oracore.*;
import oracle.jdbc2.*;
import java.math.*;
public class inner implements SQLData {
// Implement the attributes and operations for this type.
private BigDecimal id;
public String name;
public static void wages(inner e[]) {
e[0].name = "55"; // just update the name element to prove the point.
// Implement SQLData interface.
private String sql_type;
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException {
return sql_type;
public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName)
throws SQLException {
sql_type = typeName;
id = stream.readBigDecimal();
name = stream.readString();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException {
stream.writeBigDecimal(id);
stream.writeString(name);
------------------- outer.java ---------------

e[0].inn.name = "55";// just update the name element to prove the point.
// Implement SQLData interface.

return sql_type;
public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName)
throws SQLException {
sql_type = typeName;
id = stream.readBigDecimal();
name = stream.readString();

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected IN Conversion failed
Note all wanted to do in the "inner" example is change the value of name...this worked as expected. In the second example i wanted to change the value of my inner objects name value...this fails with IN conversion failed.
I would be grateful if someone could tell me if this kind of operation is supported in SQLData? (or perhaps another way of doing it?).
im my REAL object its even more complex as i have stuff like:
-- nested types...
type varchar2_tab is table of varchar2(4000);
type product is object (
id number(1),
name varchar2(200)
type products is table of product;
-- my main type that i want to perform java ops on
type my_main_obj is object(
id number,
name varchar2(2000),
array1 varchar2_tab,
prod products,
........lots more elements of the above kinds
and its on my_main_obj that i want to run a Jproc to populate my variables.
the kind of pl/sql code thats doing this, at the moment, is:
-- scalar types.........
outstCplntInd := xpath_utilities.valueOf(r_dom_node,'outstCplntInd');
-- scalar array types.....
xpath_utilities.valueof(r_dom_node, 'names/name',
p_array_in_out => names);
-- and object array types.......
r_dom_node_list := spg_xpath_utilities.selectNodes(r_dom_node,
'bills/bill');
for idx in 1..sys.xmldom.getlength(r_dom_node_list)
loop
if (prods is null)
then
prods := products(null);
else
prods.extend;
end if;
prods(prods.last) := product(
xpath_utilities.valueof(
xmldom.item(r_dom_node_list,idx-1), 'prodTyp'),
xpath_utilities.valueof(
xmldom.item(r_dom_node_list,idx-1),
'prodSerNr'),
xpath_utilities.valueof(
xmldom.item(r_dom_node_list,idx-1),
'prodDate'));
end loop;
....etc
(the xpath_utilites pacakge is a helper package i got out of Steve Muenchs oracle XML book).
Thanks for any suggestions!
Daz.
Oracle version 8.1.7.4 with the latest java + pl/sql XML XDKs installed.

SAP B1 - CAD Interface

Dear experts,
Is it possible to exchange data from CAD to SAP B1. If it is possible it will be so helpful to get some BOM from CAD that my client uses.
Your help is highly appreciated.

CAD Interface functionalities

Hi Plm Experts,
Can any body please explain me how to use CADInterface and How it will work.i appreciate for early reply.

Dear,
CAD integrators enable the users to store the CAD file in SAP DMS. The integrators not only provide check in and check out of CAD drawings but also it help in creating materials, BOM, Title block mapping and many more features. The generation of material master can also be achieved by CAD Desktop. CAD Desktop functionality is provided by SAP. the TCode for accessing CAD Desktop is CDESK. The relevant customizing is done in CDESK_CUS.
The integration also enables status changes and mapping of title block with characteristics of SAP DMS.
Or call transaction SE37
In Function module enter : CDESK_SHOW
or CDESK_TEST

Clicks and popping with recording and USB interface-HELP!!!

I've submitted this twice, got some responses, but has twice been ignored into oblivion. I apologize for the reposts, but this is VERY IMPORTANT, and I've been struggling with this issue for MONTHS now dealing with countless hours of lost time trying to fix it to no avail.
I'll try to include as much detail as possible.
I use:
MacPro 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon
3 GB memory
Logic Express 8.0.2
245.13 GB empty space on Hard Drive
THE PROBLEM:
When I record, I get computerized clips/pops
http://www.moogiex.com/clickpop.mp3
http://www.moogiex.com/morecackling.mp3
I record via a PreSonus Audiobox USB. This problem did NOT start when I got the AudioBox, but several months after.
When I simply monitor the sound going through the box, the sound is fine.It's something between the Box, and the computer output. My guess is some incompatibility with Logic Express or Core Audio and the AudioBox.
It is NOT the microphone or the cable (the pops occur with anything going in, 1/4", XLR, different inputs).
The clicks START with Logic Express. If there are any recording program open when Logic Express is open, and I record, I get the SAME pops.
It did this both under 10.5.6, 10.5.7, and now 10.5.8.
It is NOT clipping.
When I'm recording with LE:
—There's 1.27 GB of FREE Memory while I'm recording.
—Logic Express is only using 6.7% of CPU while recording (of only one of the four processors), and about 90-95% of CPU space is free on all four processors.
—This happens on ANY audio input, and it doesn't matter how many other tracks, how long it is. I just started a brand new file and it does it.
—This happens when I use ANY input into my computer, but is STARTED by LE.
Here are my Logic Preferences
Core Audio- ENABLED
System Memory Requirement 66.0 MB
Device: AudioBox USB
I/O Buffer Size: 1024
I/O Safety Buffer- UNchecked
Recording Delay: 0 samples
Universal Track Mode- CHECKED
24 Bit Recording- CHECKED
Software Monitoring- CHECKED
Independent Monitoring Level- Checked
Process Buffer Range: Large
ReWire Behavior: Live Mode (Higher CPU Load)
Maximum Scrub Speed: Normal
Scrub Response: Normal
There is *no* driver with PreSonus' AudioBox. It is simply "compatible." Here's what System Profiler says:
AudioBox USB (plugged into my Mac Pro's front bottom port):
Product ID: 0x0301
Vendor ID: 0x194f
Version: 1.08
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: PreSonus Audio
Location ID: 0x00200000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Here's what I've tried:
—Disabling CoreAudio, shutting LE 8 off, restarting LE 8, enabling CoreAudio again. This worked ONCE. It hasn't worked since.
—Disabling CoreAudio, shutting LE 8 off, SHUTTING DOWN, RESTARTING, opening LE 8, enabling CoreAudio again. This also worked ONCE. It hasn't worked since.
—"CPU Saving Mode"
—I/O Buffer to 256, 512, and 1024 (default) (IMPORTANT?—speed of popping actually INCREASES with larger buffer?)
—I/O Safety Buffer checked and unchecked
—Changing Recording Delay samples
—Pretty much fiddling with any of the controls
—Disabling Airport does nothing (was previously working fine with Airport running)
—Quit all applications, open up QuickTime (pro) or Audacity, and record something. It records perfectly. I go back to LE and the clicks and pops are gone, but only until I use anything with effects, then the clicks and pops return. This works SOMETIMES.
—Reset the preferences, and that has worked ONCE, and then the clicks and pops came back (albeit not as prominent, but they were still there).
—I trashed all files related to Logic and reinstalled. Worked ONCE.
—Restarting does help, but only temporarily, as soon as any pull is put on Logic, the problems return.
—Using a different USB port. I thought this was the solution because the problem shortly went away with regular use of Logic, but problem came back.
—Uninstalling Logic, Reinstalling Logic Express, same deal.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. I have a lot of money sunk into all this equipment that's practically useless with this recording issue.

Man, I feel for you on this.
I would love to see what your pops and clicks look like in your waveform. If you can take a snapshot of it and post the pic here that might help the diagnosis.
Your audio files certainly SOUNDS like you have a clocking problem. It really sounds like your CoreAudio driver/MacPro and your USB interface are not locked up in sync - as in: which is master and which is slave? I know some interfaces include a software control panel that allows you to set the status of the interface clock to slave to the computer or to be the master. It sounds like yours doesn't come with drivers but is there any control panel for this Presonus device?
Another place to check is in Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Setup
On the left under "Properties for <your interface>" what does it say for the clock source?
Also in this panel, to the right it should have a button for "configure device". What happens when you click it? For example in my case it automatically launches my Apogee Duet Maestro control panel. In your case it might launch something similar, although I think you mention that you never installed anything, which I find strange to begin with - that this thing should just work out of the box with no driver at all.
I've struggle with w similar problem with my Apogee Duet, although nothing of this magnitude, maybe 4 or 5 clicks per 3 minutes of audio and these turn out to always be sample drops where 5-10 samples in a row are all the same in the waveform, as if my interface and computer stopped talking for a milli second. I did find that if my Apogee Duet was chosen as the default or system output in the Audio Midi Control Panel I mentioned above then the clicking was more frequent, as if choosing the audio interface for any system output caused a conflict with choosing it for Logic. I thought this was strange but you might want to investigate that further too.
At any rate, it does sound like a digital clock syncing issue to me by the sound of your audio. What effect does changing the sample rate of the recording have on the problem?
Let me know if any of this leads to anything.
