Creating a help interface using HTML/XML for text data.

Hi,
I'm currently building an application which has need of a help feature. I plan to have this either in an individual/internal frame or in a seperate browser window. My question is this:
1. Can I open a browser window without losing my OS independence?
2. Is there a swing component that displays a HTML file from the source file, or is my only option to get an XML file, run it through SAX and display it that way?
Note: I'm already using an XML parser as part of this project, so using it for a help file would be no big problem. I'm just trying to find a (quick) workaround. Not that I like cutting corners.
Any comments on this are welcome, no matter how small.
Thanks for your time.

In answer to 1. -> No you can't open a browser window without using the underlying OS mechanism...you could however encapsulate the OS mechanisms in a separate class/package so that your core app doesn't have to know...
In answer to 2. -> Danger Will Robinson!!! Yes you can use the JEditorPane, but to be fair, it's c**p, and when you release the system your Users will whine endlessly about why they can't open their help files in their usual browser (this is especially true if they are coded in HTML). I know this because I wrote a help application using HTML and had Users and the marketing department complain at me endlessly. Also, the HTMLEditorKit in Swing seems to have a number of strange handling of img paths, at least in 1.3 it did...this caused me all sorts of problems...
The usual way to get around this kind of thing is to open up a file browser, get the User to pick their favourite browser application (usually the .exe on Windows or the script on Unix) and then remember it, when it comes to opening the help file just use Runtime.getRuntime ().exec ("userBrowserLocation pathToHelpFile"). Of course this has the trouble that you can't package the help file in a jar or zip, but in general Users want to have control over HTML files...and Users usually have a fanatical desire to use their favourite browser to view them in...
Just a thought...

Create a formula variable using replacement path for current date

Hi All,
I created a formula variable using replacement path for current date.
But when i used this variable am getting an error message saying .
" This Variable cannot be used in this query".
Could you please let me know the reason?
Thanks,
Zehra

Hi All,
Thanks for all your help...
I just found a solution via the below link
in Bex Formula variabel, Current calander day(sap exit) missing.
Here he is trying to use the existing formula variable.
My doubt here is, Even i could not find this varaible in BEX formula variable, But could see this in BI Content path as mentioned in the above link. DO i have to transport this varaible , or i simply can activate it in production?
I just could find this in BI Content but not in MetaData Repository.

Error in creating RSDS using transfer rules for master data datasources

Hi ,
when i am creating the transfermations(RSDS) using transfer rules for master data datasources while i want to migrate datasource.it is giving the error message saying that INITIAL ERROR OCCURED DURING GENERATION OF THE TRANSFERMATION.AND in the taskbar it is giving the message LOG IS BEING LOADED.
MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN WE SEE THE LOG? AND
PLEASE GIVE ME THE STEPS TO MIGRATE MASTER DATASOURCES.
THANKS IN ADVANCE .

Hi Ankit,
Yoy have to load data to the cube.For that you need update rules.
Steps to load data to the cube
1.Replicate the datasource.
2.Assign Infosource
3.Create transfer rules
4.Maintain the update rules to the cube.
5.Right click on the datasource and schedule an infopackage for it.
Execute the Infopackage and pull the data to the cube.
Hope this helps

Prob creating ABAP Proxy-Interface use external and interna msg definition

Hi,
I've created a service interface using external definition (message type for request and response), imported via WSDL file. However, while creating ABAP proxy in SPROXY, it gave the error message "Interface uses external and internal message definition". I searched through the forum, the questions were raised but no definite answer was found. Is it not possible to generate a proxy if there is any external definition used?
Details of the error message:
Message no. SPRX122
Diagnosis
In a message interface you can use messages from different sources:
Message types and fault message types edited in the Enterprise Services Repository
Messages imported into the Enterprise Services Repository (external definitions, RFC, IDoc)
In the current message interface, message types from different sources have been used. Since messages from these different sources must be handled differently during proxy generation, such a mixture of messages within a message interface is not possible.
System Response
The interface cannot be generated.
Procedure
Change the interface definition accordingly in the Enterprise Services Repository.
p/s: My external definition is actually derived from a ABAP FM web service. The reason why i used external definition is that i try to avoid the tedious steps of hard-coding all the data types for the request and response message types.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Arvind,
For technical reasons, proxy generation and the respective editors in the Integration Builder do not support the entire language range of XML schema and WSDL. For an overview of which language elements are supported, see the Excel spreadsheet in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/xi ® Media Library ® Documentation: SAP XI 3.0 (SP11) u2013 Supported XML Schema and WSDL (EN).
I couldnt find the above document in the service market place. Any hint to find it?
Thanks.

hi,
first use fm "bapi_po_create".
then use fm "BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST"
The demo environment was made with real business scenario in mind, but following subjects need to be addressed in a live implementation:
     No exceptions and error handling is implemented, except the order rejection (e.g. partly delivery);
     In Navision both XML Ports and the XML DOM has been used to integrate with SAP XI, because XML ports has some drawbacks regarding to Namespaces in XML Documents (mandatory in SAP XI);
     A minimum of SAP and Navision customization is required to implement this solution. (e.g. user exit in SAP, Navision XML DOM).

Help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.

Hi Friends,
Need you urgent help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
I did the below sample SQL and in "e_orig" and "d_orig" for upto 4000 char it is working fine but I have to use it for more than 8000 char. and it is giving error,
I checked the listagg function is having limitation of 4000 char.
I tried but I am unable to achive this. Can someone provide me a sample example to achive this
select d.dname,d.loc,e.hiredate
,listagg(e.ename,',' ) within group (order by e.deptno) over (partition by e.deptno) as e_orig
,listagg(e.ename, ',') within group (order by e.sal) over (partition by e.deptno) as d_orig
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno=d.deptno;[ This is my first post, I gone through the guideline for posting a post , and try to go according to that ( I have not pasted here create table and insert as I have used basic table emp, dept for example), please let me know if still I should give this, I will take care from my next post ]
Thanks in advance

Interesting, I didn't know you could do that, but...
BluShadow wrote:
You could write some PL/SQL code that does it all for you, but that would involve loops and would be slow.Well, objects are written in PL/SQL aren't they? And presumably there'll be implicit looping too? So it's not at all obvious that this method will be faster than doing the joining in PL/SQL in memory. The only way to find out is to benchmark them - so I have done that.
I noticed that OP's ref cursor actually only ever retrieves a single record for a bound department number, so I decided the best thing would be to test using a procedure that passes an output string back. I selected all (109) employees and put spaces in to ensure above 4000 characters. I also noticed that as he is using PL/SQL he probably can use a VARCHAR2 type, but just not ListAgg in the query, so I wrote short procedures as follows:
SimpleAggChr     - bulk collect and array processing, VARCHAR2 output
ClobAggPrc     - the custom aggregation method, CLOB output
SimpleAggClob     - bulk collect and array processing, CLOB output
I then wrote a driving script that calls them in the order above and times each call (I like benchmarking so I have my own timing object to make it easy). I then print the lengths for checking, and my object writes the timings to my output table. Running a few times I got varying results, but generally it looks like there isn't a lot to choose between them for performance.
Here's the procedure code:

Problem while using BCP utility for witing data in file

hi all,
I have a batch file in which I am using bcp command for reading data from MS SQL and writing it in delimiter file. Now there are some exceptions in MS SQL that while writing into file whenever it encounters new line character it switches to next line while writing and starts writing the rest of the data on next.
Could you help me in getting rid of this problem. I wanted to replace the new line character with space.
Thanks and regards

Hi Dilip,
Before going for any other table,
As Kalnr is only one of the primary keys of table KEKO, You can try creating secondary index on KEKO, which might help in improving your report performance.
Also, you can add more conditions in where clause if possible, which will also help in improving performance.

Error : Concatenated values used in documents for master data

Hi Experts,
I am trying to add one characteristics as compounding characteristics to my master data info object.
previously 'Document property' option was checked for the infoobject. so i unchecked it, as it was not allowing me to add the compounding characterisitcs.
After doing the changes, when I am trying to save, its throwing error as 'Concatenated values used in documents for master data'.
Can anyone please help me with what exactly does it mean and what would be the solution to remove this error.
Thanks,
Neelima

Hi All,
Just found the soultion...wanted to share this....
Actually one document was created on one of my opportunity values, which was not simply visible from edit menu -> documents.
Go to RSA1 -> documents -> master data -> and then give ur info object name -> will get all the documents maintained corresponding to it. Need to delete them.
Then compounding characteristic can be added to our info object.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Can i use HTML tag in text when sending contens as "Attachement(PDF)".

Hi all!!
i try to add html tag on ibot email text column.
is it possible?
- in ibot delivery content.
send content as Attachment(PDF)
"if sent as attachement, include this text" <--- mark this field
and below multi line input column, can i use html tag, for example,
Yahoo
thanks in advance.
Edited by: vingorius on 2010. 10. 31 오후 7:27

hi vingorius ,
No you cant include html but u can use variables
To add a variable in a text message to provide context for the iBot attachment
1. Click the following option:
If sent as attachment, include this text
2. Type the text into the text box with a session variable, a repository variable, or a presentation variable using the syntax shown in the following table:
Variable Type
Syntax
Repository @{Variable_Name}
Session @{NQ_SESSION.Variable_Name}
Presentation @{Variable_Name}
For example, Dear, @{NQ_SESSION.Variable_Name}, here is your personalized Weekly Sales Territory Update.
NOTE: If you want to use the @ character, you need to precede it with the \ (back slash) character to separate it from the variable syntax. For example, Dear @{NQ_SESSION.DISPLAYNAME}, \@ New York, appears as Dear Joe Smith, @ New York.
