Create a test and development environment : only one CMS running

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create a test and Develpment environment for one CMS?
I'm running BO XI 3.1 enterprise edition.
Thanks
Peter

If you only have one server, you'll need to create an extra folder. Use security to stop non-test/dev users seeing the content. Then publish to it.
Once tested, move reports to 'proper' folders.

How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

Hi
According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
bla bla bla.
Please help.

Hi
Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.
cheers

Service product replication for test and developement system

Hi Experts,
In our scanario service product is created in production system and later manually created in test and developement system.
Is there is any standard function module avilable to replicate the product master data into test and developement system
Or Is it possible to use the middleware functionallity to replicate the service product details.
Please advice on this issue.
Thanks,

You can use the FindFile method in the TS API:
FindFile Method
Syntax
Engine.FindFile ( fileToFind, absolutePath, userCancelled, promptOption = FindFile_PromptHonorUserPreference, srchListOption = FindFile_AddDirToSrchList_Ask, isCommand = False, [currentSequenceFile])
The function itself returns a boolean which indicates if the file exists or not.
Then just use a Call Executable step to run command line string to delete the file.
Hope this helps!

How to set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment?

We have used BI publisher Enterprise (standalone), Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1. Our admin set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment based on the folder. For example, there is DEV folder, TEST folder and PROD folder. Developer is developing reports under DEV folder. Under TEST and PROD folder, there are many sub-folder based on the login user role. Sometimes a report has to be assigned to a multiple sub-folder under PROD. So our admin create symbolic links in the Linux box which BI server is located. That way, if a report is updated, there is no need to update the report in all sub-folder.
The issue I have is we are not allowed to touch any files under TEST/PROD folder. Only admin will move the report from DEV folder to TEST/PROD folder because those links admin created might be broken. However, as a developer, we still have permission to delete/rename/copy report under those restricted folders. Yesterday one report under PROD has been renamed by a developer. And admin complains because the links he has created not working anymore. Just wonder if admin doesn't allow developers to touch the reports under those folders, is there a way to remove the write permission on those folders? Also do you think this is a good practice to set up DEV, TESDT and PROD environment? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Do we need Test and Development instances

I would like to know that apart from the production instance, Test and Development 2 instances are required or only one is sufficient. If required how it will be useful.

I depends on your change management philosophy.
In our organization, the Development instance can differ a great deal from production in terms of setups, patch levels, etc. The Test instance is meant to be as close to production as possible in terms of setups and freshness of data. Only when patches are demonstrated to have resolved a problem in Dev are they promoted to Test, and shortly afterward to Production, as long as testing continues to be successful.
This allows our users to train and play in the Test instance without wondering what wacky things the IS team might be doing, be cause we're doing our work primarily in Dev. ;-) In addition, if we have a problem in our production instance, we can have a high degree of confidence that we can replicate it in Test, with identical setups and data. If it is necessary to get more recent data to troubleshoot a production problem, we can quickly clone production to Test without impacting any project work underway in Dev.
In reality, you're likely to find that you'll be lucky if you can get away with running only 3 EBS instances. :-) I'm currently managing 10 instances, but that's a little unusual for us...it's usually more like 4-5.

How to test and develop the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer on IPad?

Hi
I have been tasked with developing and amending the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer as nicely detailed and explained by Derek Lu here:
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/html-default-library.html#
I can see that by removing the reference to libs/AdobeLibraryAPI.js in Index.html i am able to "test" on the desktop.

and that data is bought in via the fulfilment XML feed and the parse method is called on Librarycollection.
I have made the changes to hook up the viewer to bring in some folios that we are developing.
However, although this provides the ability to test and develop on the desktop in one form since we are using JS and Backbone, there are various checks within the provided code to see if ADOBE.isAPIAvailable.
If it is, then the behaviour is different than on the desktop, so once the viewer is packaged up and put on the IPad there is disparity between what you were able to check and test on the desktop version against what is shown on the IPad.
The question therefore is... is there a quick way to develop and test on the Ipad ... it doesnt seem like a viable option to develop blindly on the desktop and then package up the content viewer within Adobe DPS to check how those changes behave on the IPad?
To re-iterate the viewer is to make use of backbone / js example to provide greater functionality and options for customisation.
Thanks in anticipation.
Dave

Thankyou for taking the time to respond and for providing such detailed articles on adobe dps development, it is much appreciated.
I had completely missed that article and was struggling to find anything useful from googling!

Problem with creating an dynamic internal table with only one field.

Hi,
i create an internal table like this:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <GT_ITAB>      TYPE TABLE,
               <GS_ITAB>,
               <FS>.
DATA: GT_DATA TYPE REF TO DATA.
DATA: GS_DATA TYPE REF TO DATA.
DATA: TABNAME   LIKE DD03L-TABNAME.
DATA: FIELDNAME LIKE DD03L-FIELDNAME.
DATA: TBFDNAM   TYPE TBFDNAM VALUE 'LFA1-NAME1'.
SPLIT TBFDNAM AT '-' INTO TABNAME FIELDNAME.
CREATE DATA GT_DATA TYPE TABLE OF (TABNAME).
ASSIGN GT_DATA->* TO <GT_ITAB>.
CREATE DATA GS_DATA LIKE LINE OF <GT_ITAB>.
ASSIGN GS_DATA->* TO <GS_ITAB>.
SELECT * FROM (TABNAME) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <GT_ITAB>.
BREAK-POINT.
it works OK.
Now i want to create an internal table not like LFA1 but with LFA1-NAME1 Field TBFDNAM.
It's not only LFA1-NAME1 it shell be the value of TBFDNAM.
When i change
CREATE DATA GT_DATA TYPE TABLE OF (TABNAME).
to
CREATE DATA GT_DATA TYPE TABLE OF ( TBFDNAM).
i get an shortdump.
Any idea?
Regards, Dieter

Hi Dieter,
Your approach is ok, but it will create dynamic table without a structure of NAME1. Only the line type will be suitable (but field name will not exists -> hence the error in the select statement).
In this case you need to create a dynamic table which structure consists of one field named NAME1.
This code is the appropriate one:
" your definitions
DATA: tabname LIKE dd03l-tabname.
DATA: fieldname LIKE dd03l-fieldname.
DATA: tbfdnam TYPE tbfdnam VALUE 'LFA1-NAME1'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <gt_itab> TYPE table.
"new ones
DATA: it_fcat TYPE lvc_t_fcat WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: gt_itab TYPE REF TO data.
" get table and fieldname
SPLIT tbfdnam AT '-' INTO tabname fieldname.
" create dynamic table with structure NAME1 (only one field)
it_fcat-fieldname = fieldname.
it_fcat-tabname = tabname.
APPEND it_fcat.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
EXPORTING
    it_fieldcatalog           = it_fcat[]
IMPORTING
    ep_table                  = gt_itab
EXCEPTIONS
    generate_subpool_dir_full = 1
    OTHERS                    = 2.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
" dereference table
ASSIGN gt_itab->* TO <gt_itab>.
" insert data only to NAME1 field
SELECT * FROM (tabname) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <gt_itab>.
I checked, this works fine:)

Where is the built in Java runtime and development environment in my MAC???

I keep reading that my macintosh (dual G5 with OSX 10.4.10) came with a fully configured and ready-to-use Java runtime and development environment, however I cannot find, nor do I know how to open it. Doe anyone know how to open this up? thanks so much!

Your JRE should already be configured so that when you double-click a self-executing jar or open a page with an Applet it will run.
Your compiler (javac) should be available through your sheel in your terminal application.
If none of this helps you (and it may well not) you may want to consider installing an IDE. Eclipse for example has a Mac OS version, I am sure there are others but I do not develop on Mac so I can't tell you about them.

My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

Only one MRP run for diffrent companies plants

Hi PP expert,
my bizness scenario is . there 2 companies code one company code has 2 plant and another comp has 3 plant..only one product is assembling in all plant. suppose finish material X is producing in all company plants
but finish material X have component K and L, L is manufacturing in only one plant and supply to all company plant
my client want to produce material component "L" for all plants for his monthly requirement with MRP run.
component L is semi finish material and its is component of X
but i am not under standing how will get requirement from same company plants and other company plants. for Monthly MRP run
Kindly suggest me how will take requirement from others companies plants for MRP run...
kindly suggest me step by step
Regards
Aqueel

Dear Friend,
Only one MRP Run i.e. the Total MRP Run is possible at different plants but all must be under same company code.
in your case ,plants are under different comp.codes , so it s quite difficult.
Here I have to check the posiibility of using the special procurement key to tranfer the material between plants assigned to different comapny codes. The particular Keys are ..
40--Stock transfer (proc.from alter.plant); 70 -- Withdrawal from alternative plant or 80----Production in alternative plant*
If it is possible , then you can use this option of Special Procurement key.
Otherwise you can use Plant to plant transfer movements like 647 to transfer beween plants against the Purchase order.
