COM API Characteristic attribute

What methods do I need to call in order to do the following?
I want to get all the products that have a Numeric (Characteristic) attribute that has a Min value <= X and a Max value >= Y

here is my solution...
XCATCOMLib.Search search = new XCATCOMLib.SearchClass();
XCATCOMLib.FreeFormTableParameter tableParam = search.Parameters.NewFreeFormParameter(PRODUCT_TABLE);
double sysVolume = double.Parse(this.txtSysVolumeftcu.Text);
XCATCOMLib.FreeFormParameters ffParams = tableParam.Fields.New "Category",SearchOperatorEnum.xcSearchOperatorAnd).FreeForm;
XCATCOMLib.FreeFormAttributeParameter volMinParam = ffParams.NewAttribute(178, RatingEnum.xcMinimumRating, SearchOperatorEnum.xcSearchOperatorAnd);
volMinParam.Values.NewCharacteristic(sysVolume, 9, FreeFormSearchTypeEnum.xcLessThanOrEqualToSearchType);
XCATCOMLib.FreeFormAttributeParameter volMaxParam = ffParams.NewAttribute(178, RatingEnum.xcMaximumRating, SearchOperatorEnum.xcSearchOperatorAnd);
volMaxParam.Values.NewCharacteristic(sysVolume, 9, FreeFormSearchTypeEnum.xcGreaterThanOrEqualToSearchType);

COM API Product attributes

I'm using the COM API with C# to develop a web application.
I have a list of products on a web page. When someone clicks on the product I would like to show some, not all, of the attributes.
How can I retrieve the value of a particular attribute?

If I try the following I always get "Incorrect parameter". If I pass the index of the attribute, it works. Will this not work for attributes with spaces in their name?
XCATCOMLib.Search search = new XCATCOMLib.SearchClass();
XCATCOMLib.ResultSetDefinition productsRsDef = null;
XCATCOMLib.Tables tables = catalog.Tables;
XCATCOMLib.Table prodTable = tables.Item(PRODUCT_TABLE);
productsRsDef = new XCATCOMLib.ResultSetDefinitionClass();
productsRsDef.Table = prodTable.Name;
productsRsDef.IncludeAttributes = true;
productsRsDef.ShowEmptyAttributes = false;
for (int j = 0; j < prodTable.Fields.Count; j++)
productsRsDef.Fields.Add(prodTable.Fields.Item(j));
XCATCOMLib.TaxonomyLookupParameter param = search.Parameters.NewTaxonomyLookupParameter(PRODUCT_TABLE, CATEGORY_FIELD);
param.NodeID = DEHYDRATORS_CATEGORYID;
XCATCOMLib.FreeFormTableParameter tableParam = search.Parameters.NewFreeFormParameter(PRODUCT_TABLE);
ResultSet rs = catalog.GetResultSet(search, productsRsDef, prodTable.Fields.Item(0).Name, true, 0);
XCATCOMLib.Fields objFields = rs.Fields;
for(int itemCounter = 1; !rs.EOF; rs.MoveNext(), ++itemCounter)
AttributeValues attributeValues = rs.Fields.Item("Category").Attributes.Item("PressGen: Flow Rate").Values;

MDM com API: Retriving Attribute priority in C++

Has anyone been able to retrive attribute priority using C++ in MDM 5.5sp3? We're in the process of upgrading from mdme4 to 5.5sp3 and the code that has worked for us in the past is failing to return the priority value:
unsigned char ucPriority;
ucPriority = a2iAttribute->Priority;
(Where a2iAttributre is a valid IAttribute object)
Is now always returning a value of 0 irregardless of the true value of the priority.
When we access the priority in either VB 6.0 and c# (.net 1.1) it works fine.
We're using build 5.0.28.17 from Jan 17th, 2006.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-glenn

It turns out this problem occured only when we tried accessing an attribute's priority via icatalog.GetLimitedAttributes.
Many thanks to Nick Luu and Stanley Levin at SAP for their help in narrowing down on the exact problem and getting it fixed in time for the release of mdm 5.5 SP3 Hotfix 5 on 8-11.

Adobe VBScript or COM API fails when Adobe application not already open on a certain machine

Was wondering if anybody might have input on this or observed this themselves. Is there a known issue/bug for this?
I'm building scripted tooling to automate tasks in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, using the COM API (what Adobe lists as VBScript scripting reference, but is really COM). I've tested with both JScript (Microsoft Javascript, for doing same things you would use VBScript for) and Python using COM. In both cases got the same issue.
When I was building the tooling, it works fine for me. But on a colleagues machine, the problem comes up. Sadly the error messaging is vague to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. We just know when it happens, but not why/how. We both have Windows 7 64-bit and are using 64-bit version of the Adobe apps, version CS6. Though we also have 32-bit version installed as well.
The funny thing about my colleague's machine is the the tool/script will execute fine if Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop is already open. But if the app is not open already, it just fails at the point of instantiating the COM object. On my machine it works fine in both cases.
Here's the error output observed:
in JScript
C:\scripts>cscript windows_cli_script_runner.js /s:C:\scripts\test.jsx
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

basically both point to this line at failure:
in JScript
var app_ref = new ActiveXObject(app);
in Python
app_ref = win32com.client.Dispatch(app)
where app is "Illustrator.Application.CS6" or "Photoshop.Application", per the Adobe scripting guide and VBScript scripting reference.
I didn't test VBScript but assume it's the same since JScript and VBScript and Python are all using same COM interface, and VBScript and JScript using same Windows Scripting Host interface.

Also, there appears to be rather an unfortunate bug. If the publisher does not yet have a subscriber, it looks like these two properties return an error. Oof.
So. there is this other way to do it. Embarrassing.
var allowAudio:Boolean = true;
var allowVideo:Boolean = true;
publishingStream.send("|RtmpSampleAccess", allowAudio, allowVideo);
Yep. The secret vertical bar call. I believe you can make this call once on the publishing stream. However, that'll only get to the subscribers that are currently connected and it won't get to subscribers that have yet to connect.
You can also call send on the specific subscribing streams to give different permissions to each subscriber.

0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) while adding a firewall rule using the windows firewall COM API

Hello,
Configuration: Windows Embedded 8 64-bit.
I'm using the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security COM API. The program uses the INetFwRules interface. Basically, I'm using the following code (Form the code sample available here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd339604%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.)
I get the error when performing "hr = pFwRules->Add(pFwRule);".
We can also encounter the problem when removing a rule (using pFwRules->Remove(ruleName);)
HRESULT hrComInit = S_OK;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
INetFwPolicy2 *pNetFwPolicy2 = NULL;
INetFwRules *pFwRules = NULL;
INetFwRule *pFwRule = NULL;
long CurrentProfilesBitMask = 0;
BSTR bstrRuleName = SysAllocString(L"SERVICE_RULE");
BSTR bstrRuleDescription = SysAllocString(L"Allow incoming network traffic to myservice");
BSTR bstrRuleGroup = SysAllocString(L"Sample Rule Group");
BSTR bstrRuleApplication = SysAllocString(L"%systemroot%\\system32\\myservice.exe");
BSTR bstrRuleService = SysAllocString(L"myservicename");
BSTR bstrRuleLPorts = SysAllocString(L"135");
// Initialize COM.
hrComInit = CoInitializeEx(

// initialized with a different mode. Since we don't care what the mode is,
// we'll just use the existing mode.
if (hrComInit != RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE)
if (FAILED(hrComInit))
printf("CoInitializeEx failed: 0x%08lx\n", hrComInit);
goto Cleanup;
// Retrieve INetFwPolicy2
hr = WFCOMInitialize(&pNetFwPolicy2);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto Cleanup;
// Retrieve INetFwRules
hr = pNetFwPolicy2->get_Rules(&pFwRules);
if (FAILED(hr))
printf("get_Rules failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
goto Cleanup;
// Create a new Firewall Rule object.
hr = CoCreateInstance(
__uuidof(NetFwRule),

goto Cleanup;
// Populate the Firewall Rule object
pFwRule->put_Name(bstrRuleName);
pFwRule->put_Description(bstrRuleDescription);

// Add the Firewall Rule
hr = pFwRules->Add(pFwRule);
if (FAILED(hr))
printf("Firewall Rule Add failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
goto Cleanup;
This works pretty well but, sometimes, at system startup, adding a rule ends up with the error 0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) ! At startup, the system is always loaded cause several applications starts at the same time. But nothing abnormal. This is quite a random
issue.
According MSDN documentation, this error indicates that the system "failed to allocate the necessary memory".
I'm not convinced that we ran out of memory.
Has someone experienced such an issue? How to avoid this?
Thank you in advance.

Does Windows 8 desktop have the same issue? Are you building a custom WE8S image, or are you using a full WE8S image? The reason I ask is to make sure you have the modules in the image to support the operation.
Is Windows Embedded 8.1 industry an option?

Compression fails with Characteristic attribute exists twice

Guys,
I ran a compression on cube 0PP_C03 that failed with "Characteristic
attribute exists twice"
I see that "Note 859320 - Multiple reference points in InfoCubes with non-cumulative v" tells me to run that program to clear up any dups in the E Fact table.
I currently have 4,060,118 rows in the E Fact table.
I ran rsrv program "Multiple Entries in Dimensions of a (Basis) InfoCube" and there are NO dups in the F Fact table.
Running "Note 859320 - Multiple reference points in InfoCubes with non-cumulative v" indicates that I have 42,627 dups. The note talks about running RSCDS_MERGE_DUPL_REF_POINTS and I ran it using no reference points in simulation mode. Maybe I need to specify some selection conditions?
I'd like to make sure I am executing the correct procedure prior to running this pgm live. Additionally, all of a sudden I have this same condition on cubes 0PM_C03, 0SD_C03, and ZSM_C001 as well. This is the first time I have seen this ocurrence.
Has anyone any experienve running this or having this compression error condition?
Mike

As I remember I got the error message:
Characteristic attribute exists twice with DBMAN 231
So I ran se38 pgm:
RSCDS_MERGE_DUPL_REF_POINTS, putting in the cube like 0PM_C03 and pkg size 100
and it fixed the problem.
Hope that helps. I just saw this and we don't have BW anymore. We have moved to HANA and shutdown BW.

Is Using the COM API for Integration still valid for UCM 11g?

Dear All,
One of our partners is trying to implement integration to UCM by using the COM API (described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e10807/c08_com.htm#i1084682).
However, they cannot follow the manual, because the environment does not correspond to the written text:
-     8.2.1 To set up IdcCommandUX, run the IdcCommandUX setup file, which is stored in extras/IdcCommandUX/setup.exe in the media. – no such directory exists (neither extras, nor IdcCommandUX); ‘extras’ used to be in 10g, though
-     8.2.3 1. Add the IdcCommandUX control to the project . – according to the partner, this is supposed to mean that IdcCommandUX.ocx must exists somewhere – there is no such file to be found
-     8.4 speaks about “IntradocClient OCX component”, 8.5 speaks about “IdcClientOCX Component” – the system has only IdcClient component, which contains only idcclient.jar
Could anyone confirm that COM API is still available in 11g? If so, what steps need to be followed to make it running?
Thanks in advance, Jiri

For what it's worth, I had no problems migrating an authentication plugin from 4 to 5. This is really good, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to use 5.1.

Labview 6.0, rtdx com api, and ti dsp

According to the ti code composer studio tutorial (ti document spru301c.pdf
http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/spru301c/spru301c.pdf, pg 1-13), one should be able
to communicate between labview and a dsp using the rtdx com api. I know that NI offers
the DSP Integration Kit, but it looks like some rtdx functionality can be accomplished
without this by using this com api. I haven't been able to find any examples of doing this. TI
did not seem to have any examples, I'm wondering if National Instruments has an example
or can suggest a method of doing this.
Thanks.
regards,
llp2

Ame G.,
Thanks for your suggestions. i tried the TI DSP Test example(Audio_dsk6711_bios_ccs2.20), but the example could not work correctly.
The RTDX just transmitted the data from TI DSP C6711 DSK to Labview slowly. The data-rate is about 1 Hz. And i use the RTDX example in
TI DSP tutorial to try again. I got the same result. I just received the data( 8 integrals) from TI DSP C6711 in 1 Hz. I want to use Labview
to receive the data( 8 integral) in about 30 or 20 Hz. what is my problem? RTDX mode(continuous mode or non-continuous mode)? interrupt? or others?
i provide my problem. Thank you very much and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
regards,
Danial

Mapping between products in a BOM and var. config. characteristic attribute

Hi,
probably this is a "beginner's" question but we would need to know which tables are used to link products in a BOM material and the according VC characteristic attributes.
We have the following scenario:
- The user enters a configurable material in a sales quotation and starts the configuration. When saving the quotation the BOM explosion will be triggered.
--> Question: Is this based on a 1-1 relationship or based on complicated determination rules and/or dependencies?
What we would like to know is the other way round - from the product to the characteristic attribute.
Thanks a lot for any hint!
Regards,
Wolfhard

Closed as of now a we found a link between BOM item position and selection dependency.

Doubt on com api?

Hi I am planning to buy a USB wireless data card to send SMS. So in some document I have read that when I connect the USB modem to a PC windows assigns a COM port to it. So can I send and read SMS with this USB data card(This card supports SMS and voice calls) using rxtx com api?

RxTx is only a low level way of sending and receiving data over a serial port. You'd still need to know how to 'talk' to this device of yours. So unless you have some sort of manual describing the protocol of the device or you have an SDK that defines the protocol for you, its not going to happen.

ITunes COM API for Windows - iTunes 7.7 broken!

I use the iTunes COM API for Windows to control iTunes as part of a program which helps users create audiobooks.
Version 7.7.0.43 of iTunes breaks this software. So far as I can determine, the iTunes.ConvertTracks2 and iTunes.ConvertFiles2 routines are now broken, in that they no longer return a reference to the converted tracks.
Is this a bug on Apple's part, or is it a fundamental change? The COM API documentation describes the earlier behavior, which makes sense.

I'm seeing the exact same behaviour in my application calling the COM API from Perl. No track reference can be obtained after ConvertTracks2 completes.
What's going on?

Calling a COM API from Java

Hi,
is it possible to call methods on a COM API that is written in VB on a windows machine from Java? I'd rather not have to take the route of using JNI and keep this 100% Java. Ideally, I'm looking for a Java solution that would allow me to call methods in the COM API from different platforms (Win / Linux / Mac).
Thanks,
Shane

I've used Jacob. You can get it at:
http://danadler.com/jacob/
Don't understand your Linux/Mac angle though. I've heard COM was ported to other platforms but haven't heard of it being used. Jacob is Win 32 only.

MDM COM API Installation

Hi All,
How can we install MDM COM API on the server. I mean what are the requirements.
I have to run MDM UOM manager for which it is required.
Thanks
Devinderpal Yadav

Hi,
first of all you should consider installing the COM API and the UOM Manager on a client machine as it is a client software.
1. Download COM API from service marketplace
2. Copy the installer to the according server / desktop pc
3. Start installation
Prerequsite:
Runs only on windows platforms (as a matter of course due to the fact that it is a COM lib).
