Hi
I have only one restriction that result of call should be with in BSP.
As u saying if it possible through iview then i can go for this.
I refered some threads by which we r Log-in into SAP then it opening new session of SAP GUI of desired code .
I think i have to use webGUI , first make a webGUI of t.code then call it in BSP , but how to initiate it , i don,t kow that.

Calling C code (exe ) from Java program

Hi all,
kindly help in giving a solution for calling C code (exe ) from Java program, i will be very thank full to u if any body can help in sending a code example
bye

You might need to consume the io operations on the Process...
An excerpt from java.lang.Process:
All its standard io (i.e. stdin, stdout, stderr) operations will be redirected to the parent process through three streams (Process.getOutputStream(), Process.getInputStream(), Process.getErrorStream()). The parent process uses these streams to feed input to and get output from the subprocess. Because some native platforms only provide limited buffer size for standard input and output streams, failure to promptly write the input stream or read the output stream of the subprocess may cause the subprocess to block, and even deadlock.

How to call a standard page from a custom BSP-iView by URL

Dear readers,
I have to implement a scenario as described in the guide "Administration of the Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0", chapter "Object Links in the Portal" scenario 1 and/or 2 (page 404).
In my case, a custom iView-BSP lists certain business partners in a tree view as hyperlinks. Which URL do I have to use for these hyperlinks to call the "Accounts" page (within role Account Management (com.sap.pct.crm.AccountManager)) with the selected business partner.
The guide informs that there exists among others a table CRMC_PRT_ROLE_MO where I can find the ID Page/Servie URL for each Role/CRM Object type/CRM Method.
My question is if I can use this URL fragment within the URL I have to build, and if yes, how must I construct the full URL to call the account page? If now, which URL must I use to call the account page?
thank you
Andreas

Hi Niladri,
My requirement was calling the OAF page from standard form (menu), below are the steps that I followed,
1) Get the OAF page function name
2) Personalize the form, by calling the OAF page function
a) Function Code: Give the OAF function code
b) Parameter: Here pass the parameters
example: ='contractLineId='||:OKS_LINES.ID
Note: If you are calling from a custom form you can also try using fnd_function.execute to call the OAF page
Thanks,
Bharat

Access Global attribute from with the BSP code.

I have an attribute created within the View controller implementation class. The attribute is called GV_COUNT.
Within my BSP code I want to access this global variable, but I'm getting an error when activating the code, having statements like CLEAR GV_COUNT. in my code.
Is there a format that is required. At the moment I just receive an error saying that field GV_COUNT is unknown.
I thought that anything defined in the controller class was available for anything below.
Jason

Thanks Christian.
Of course the attribute has been made public, and now that you've mentioned 'CONTROLLER' I feel rather foolish, as I should have known this.
Many thanks to yourself and others for the replies.

Jason

Calling native code from Flex

I was wondering, is there any way to call native code from Flex?
Currently, we're writing browser plugins in order to call native code from a Flex application. However, it would be nice to be able to call native code directly from Flex, so that we could write it only per-platform, as opposed to currently per-platform-per-browser.

In general, the sandbox does not allow you to access native code from Flex.
I believe you can use Merapi, but perhaps only for AIR:
http://www.merapiproject.net/
You might be able to code around the Flex sandbox, but it would be a ton of work.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Problem while Calling a CGI pgm From Java with code sample

Hey guys,
I am calling a CGI program from java servlet, while calling cgi program I am passing encoded(Base64) content via post process,
My problem is the encoded data is not posted as expected, the encoded data is corrupting. But when I send encoded data in a text file, cgi program is perfectly decoding and working fine.
Here I am doing Base64 encoding as per requirement, I cannot avoid this encoding.
My doubt is about OutputStreamWriter constructor argument , In OutputStream Constructor I am passing one argument is OutputStream object and another argument is encoding type. I tried with ASCII, US-ASCII & UTF-8 .
My code is as follows, please help me to resolve this issue.
URL url = new URL("CGI server path");
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = urlConnection.getOutputStream();
BufferedOutputStream buffer = new BufferedOutputStream(os);
OutputStreamWriter writer = new
OutputStreamWriter(buffer, "US-ASCII");
writer.write(encodedPDF-Content);
writer.write("\r\n");
writer.flush();
writer.close();
here encodedPDF-Content is String and it's size is 9565 bytes

Whenever you read something in java into string (with Reader implementation) it expects source to contain text in encoding you specified. It then decodes it and makes 16 bit unicode string from it. Whenever you store string using Writers it does reverse operation with specified encoding (may be different than this which you used to read source) and stores text as a sequence of bytes made of 16 bit unicode string. So, passing text back and forth between programs with the help of files or I/O you can make mistake at both reading and writing encoding. Check for it.
Now, when C programm or other application reads file it may take another assumptions about encoding or may even completly ignore it and read source as a binary file. Then, if you have a source text as a file and have to pass it to other application never do it using Reader/Writer. User raw InputStream/OutputStream instead what will preserve all information unchanged.
here encodedPDF-Content is String and it's size is 9565 byteHow id you get this info? String.length() gets you how many chars is in it, it will be half the number of bytes. If you see your input file beeing 9565 bytes long, see my above statements.

Calling of Sapscript program from BSP Application

Hi,
   I have a requirement to display the sapscript output in PDF throgh BSP.
   In the Application program I am taking the output in PDF format.
   Now While calling the Driver program in BSP it is giving dump.
   I am using Submit 'Prog_name' and return.
Pls help.

Hi Thanuja,
You cannot call the program using SUBMIT PROGRAM in BSPs.
You can create PDF from a Smart Form. <i>I have no idea of SAPSCRIPTS calling from BSPs.</i> You can do one thing, you can migrate your SAPSCRIPTS to SMARTFORMS and try the below code.
You can call the the below three FMs in the following sequence.
1)
call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    exporting
      formname           = l_form_name
    importing
      fm_name            = l_function_module_name

Calling MB5B from a program to determine stock on hand as on date

Dear friends,
I want to call transaction MB5b from my report passing (matnr, plant and selection date-sy-datum ) values from internal table (11500 records) and fetch the quantity field that gets displayed after executing. How to do that. can anyone write the code for that. Because writing full program for determining stock-on-hand seems meaningless as we can get that value from MB5b. Can we trap that parameter in the standard program RM07mlbd and import that parameter to the program. Any suggestions.
Please write full code. I guarantee Points would be rewarded if solved.
Regards.

Hi,
could you please post the code how it was done. I am facing a similar issue.

How can I call a COM object from a PL/SQL CODE

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to call a COM object from a stored procedure in oracle.
a sample of code
please help,
Hilaire

Are you familiar with external procedures? Basically, you can expose functions exported by a shared library (i.e. a DLL on Windows) to the Oracle database. My assumption is that you'd probably need to write a wrapper DLL around the COM object, since I believe you can only pass fundamental data types back and forth (i.e. no object references). You'd expose the method(s) of that wrapper DLL to the database via external procedures.

Calling an MVC controller from a BSP

Hello,
I'm trying to call an MVC controller from a BSP (Page with flow logic) using bsp:call / bsp:goto and am also passing a parameter. There are two problems:
- parameter is not available to the do_init method of the controller class but is available to the do_request method
- do_init is being called at every event (button click, dropdown etc.)
I've checked that my BSP application, controller and bsp page are all set to stateful (with lifetime = session where applicable).
Please suggest what I can do in this case?
Thanks and regards.
Rajendra Tewani

for the precise solution the exceprts :
in the DO_REQUEST method of the controller class just use
<variablename> = request->get_form_field( '<url param name>' ).
suppose the url is init.do?node=ABC to read the value within the controller
data: nodevar type string .
nodevar = request->get_form_field( 'node' ).
with due thanks to raja for this

Calling existing C++ dll from native code causes an ACCESS_VIOLATION

Hi everyone,
I'm having issues creating a Java app to call an existing c++ DLL. I've done extensive searching for a solution and found lots of goodies, but nothing to fix my problem yet.
I've gone through the JNI tutorial and created my java class, used javah, and created my native code according to the tutorial.
I'm new to dealing with DLLs so I'm not sure if there are some steps that I'm not taking.
The issue comes when I run the program. I get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
the DLL I'm trying to call makes a call to a device on the USB port. I also have the source code and header files for the DLL but thought it would be easier to just have to deal with the already built DLL.
After putting some print statements in the native function, the violation comes when I try to call the function in the external DLL. The DLL itself loads correctly (as far as I know).
Here my native method that will load the external dll. I got the code to call the DLL method from:
http://goff.nu/techarticles/development/cpp/calldll.html
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_OCPMControl_OCPMSetPixelCount (JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jint pixelCount)
//load the dll
HINSTANCE ocpmSerialDLL = LoadLibrary("OCPMSerialDLL");
/* get pointer to the function in the dll*/
FARPROC myDLLFunction = GetProcAddress(HMODULE(ocpmSerialDLL), "OCPMSetPixelCount");
/* Define the Function in the DLL for reuse. This is just prototyping
* the dll's function. A mock of it. Use "stdcall" for maximum compatibility.
typedef void (__stdcall * FUNC)(enum ePixelNum);
FUNC MyFunction;
MyFunction = FUNC(myDLLFunction);
printf("Calling function\n");
/* The actual call to the function contained in the dll */
MyFunction(PIXEL256);
/* Release the Dll */
FreeLibrary(ocpmSerialDLL);
When I run the program, I get the following error:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x182
91E6B
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=C:\sun\MyJava\ocpm\src\OCPMSerialDLL.dll
NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
reason and solutions.

Is there something else I have to do to tell the JVM that the external DLL call isn't an Access Violation?
Would it be easier to use the source files instead?
Thanks to anyone who can help me out here!

Thanks,
The problem has been solved. I wasn't linking the dll properly to access the external DLL and thus, my native DLL was looking for methods that it didn't know how to find. which was easily solved by adding a few options when creating my native dll.
Here is the link I found to solve the problem incase anyone else has issues like this. It is regarding implicit v.s. explicit linking to external DLLs in using visual C++.
