So when it comes to things like RobustaOS and other OpenSolaris distro
initiatives, I'd be happy to help start a community collaboration on
the following topic: How to derive or build a fully modifiable and
redistributable base OpenSolaris OS. In other words, a "reference base"
with which developers can use to:
- Build a distro
- Create home-brew x86 appliances
- Build live CDs (e.g. forensics kit CD)
- etc...

Excellant and Thank you Eric!!!
RobustaOS welcomes the opertunity to aid in community collaboration. What
from our side would you need to publish your topics? We currently have a
forum setup using MVNForum software and could quickly install a Wiki if
necessary...[ Copying comp.unix.solaris and the two main Solaris forums on sun.com ]
The biggest hurdle initially, I think, has to do with the fact that
there are several community projects that are already positioned to do
custom distributions. The ones I know of, in addition to RobustaOS, are:
http://www.blastwave.org
http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=SchilliX
http://sunfreeware.com
http://pkgsrc.org
So the challenge would be to do this in a way that is inclusive and
ensures the deliverable is project-neutral. (The deliverable being a
minimal "reference distro" based on the forthcoming OpenSolaris kernel.)

You've a pretty good base on your blog Eric, so possibly a hybrid

  • SO IDOC inbound create SO with reference to INV or SO #

    Hi all,
    I have a situation where I will get the inbound SO IDOC, through IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and create a sales order with reference to a invoice number or another sales order (eg: consignment pick up and consignment fill up).
    Except modifying the standard formed BDC in the FM, by adding additional screen code into the BDC, is there any other way to do so?
    (eg: assign value into certain field in IDOC? Using another IDOC FM?)
    Please advice.
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    JL

    Hi ,
    At a high level, the IDOC processing executes in the following manner:
    1.     Interpret IDOC header segments and captures organizational, customer master and purchase
                    order header details. Performs user exits for each segment to process customizations to data
                    processing.
    2.     Interprets item level segments and captures item level details like material information. Again, it
                   performs user exits for each segment.
    3.     Sums up the order data and determines the posting criterion viz. creating order with reference
                  etc.
    4.     Builds up batch data communication sequence (BDC) with respect to the required screen
                    sequence of posting a sales order.
    5.     While building up the BDC data, system performs user exit to process customizations to BDC
                      data.
    6.     Calls transactions VA01 using the BDC data.
    7.     If the processing fails, an appropriate workitem is generated for workflow processing.
    User Exit - ZXVEDU03
    This user exit will be performed after each segment read in the IDOC processing function module. Exit is called during the perform interpret_idoc_orders in the idoc processing function module. The exit is executed before the BDC data building process and it is here where the invoice  number would be retrieved into a variable from segment E1EDK02.
    IF SEGMENT-SEGNAM = 'E1EDK02'.
        IF SEGMENT-SDATA(3) = 'Z43'.
           Save the  you Number XXXXXXXXXX into a temporary variable.
        Endif.
    Endif.
    User Exit - ZXVEDU04
    In the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS, form call_va01_new_orders is performed wherein BDC data is built up for every screen required to post a sales order. User Exit ZXVEDU04 is performed at various stages during the built up of BDC data. It is here in this user exit that a coding needs to be performed to insert BDC data for assigning sales order to the invoice
    The BDC data for assign to invoice  should be added soon after the BDC data for purchase order type is generated. The following BDC data logic should be coded in the user exit to facilitate assign to invoice
    if you give me brief i can help you out more.
    if helpful REWARD points

  • Error while creating web service reference

    Hi,
    I have very limited knowledge of web services. we have a BPEL implementation and I have been handed location to 3 wsdl files for which I am trying to create a web service reference(under shared component->logic) in apex(3.1.1). I am successfully able to create for 1 wsdl but for other two i get the below error.
    "1 error has occurred
    The WSDL document contains multiple SOAP bindings. Application Express only supports WSDL's with one SOAP binding. Click Create Web Service Reference Manually to continue creating a reference for this service."
    looking at the working and not working wsdls, i see the following difference. i collapsed all the xml tags in the wsdl file and found that the one that is not working and giving above error has the below two tags twice with data in it.
    <wsdl:portType name=
    <wsdl:binding name=
    any help to parse this wsdl in APEX be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    khan

    I have just read that " APEX does not support multiple binding web services currently" at http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/category/apex/
    ..still reading it. though the post is dated back in 2008, I wonder why this functionality wasn't added to Apex.

    I read the following topics and help:
    1. How to create complaints with referenceto ECC Billing document
    2. Re: How can we transfer billing documents from SAP ERP to CRM 2007?
    3. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/46/029ba32e675c1ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

  • How to Create a Cross Reference of an item  in an E-Business Suite

    Hi ,
    I need Help ,how to Create a cross reference of an item in an E-Business Suite
    Regards
    Srini

    Hello Srini,
    Prerequisite to create a cross reference for an item in eBusiness suite is that the item should be created in the master organization and assigned to your organization.
    Navigate to screen Inventory > Items > Cross references. Enter a name for your cross reference.
    Then, click on Assign : a screen is opened. In this screen, you can enter Item and Cross reference value. Note that a cross reference can be defined for an organization or common to all organizations.
    Another kind of cross reference you can create is Customer item (it defines how a customer designates your item). It can be defined through screen
    Inventory > Customer item > Customer Item and Customer item cross references.
    Please refer to Inventory user guide for more detail about this functionalities.

  • How to create PO with reference to Pr through BAPI

    Hi everybody
    I wanted to create PO with reference to PR through BAPI_PO_CREATE (4.6c), but i found there is no field to set PR info in the parameter. Is the bapi right for this case, or there are other functions?
    THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!
    Best regards,
    Egg

    Hi abappers!
    I'm using bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create PO with reference to one or more PR. I have a problem with document date:
    If the delivery date of the PR is lower than creation date of PR, the document date of the PO is the delivery date (lower than sy-datum).
    If the delivery date of the PR is the same or higher than creation date of PR, the document date of the PO is the creation date of PR (sy-datum or high).
    I'm trying to change this date in poheader-doc_date, but the system ignores me. I'm sure this is the correct variable, because I use it to create other PO's without reference.
    Another thing confuses me is that if I create the PO with reference to the same PR from ME21N, the system doesn't allow me to indicate a document date lower than sy-datum.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jorge

  • Create a JMS reference to a IBM MQ Resource Adapter

    Hi There,
    We have deployed the IBM MQ RA (version 7.0.0.0-k000-L080529) on our CE 7.1 SP 4 system. We are trying to create a JMS reference to utilise the RA to put a message on an IBM MQ Queue.

  • How to create Vector with reference to Collection

    hello experts,
    can someone let me know how to create vector with reference to Collection interface.
    Collection is an interface. and we cant create an instance of it. i'm not clear of what to pass in that constructor.
    Vector v = new Vector (Collection c);
    what are the possible objects of 'c'
    post some example code please.
    thanks

    Ever heard of reading the javadocs?
    "Collection is an interface. and we cant create an instance of it." - you don't understand interfaces, then.
    // I certainly can create a Collection - here's one
    Collection c = new ArrayList();
    // Now I'll add some Strings to my Collection.
    c.add("foo");
    c.add("bar");
    c.add("baz");
    // Now I'll make a Vector out of it.
    Vector v = new Vector(c);%
