Creating an API

Hi Experts,
I need to know the process/steps that is involved in creating an API.
We are loading data from Informatica into BW and are planning to create a "trigger" file at the end of each informatica load.We have to create an API that looks for these trigger file's and then raise the "Start" function in the BW process chains.
Thanks

Task Does not get triggered when User is created through API

Hi,
Each new user in our OIM environment is supposed to have a iPlanet account. I have configured the access policy for the same and it works.There is also a process task which needs to be triggered once the user is successfully created in the DS. Following is my issue:
1.When the new user is created through the admin console, the user is provisioned successfully to DS as well because of the access policy and the task also gets triggered successfully.
2. There is an approval workflow for another resource, at the end of which a user needs to be created through APIs in OIM. The user gets created successfully in OIM and also get provisionined to DS just like in the above use case. However, the task fails in this case. I see that the task is being triggered from the user's resource profile, but the status is rejected.
Can someone please tell me why is this happening. I initially though there was some issue with my adapter for the task, but in case 1 it works just fine.
Following is the exception I get as soon as the iPlanet connector finishes creating the user in DS:
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
at com.thortech.xl.adapterGlue.ScheduleItemEvents.adpSETFIELDSONUSERCREATE.implementation(adpSETFIELDSONUSERCREATE.java:51)

Hi,
Have you checked the process data that you are passing to this adapter and check the mapping of process data to the adapter variable. Try to log the value which you get from process data. I got this error when I was trying to use the literal value from process data as "true" for a boolean value. This is a bug. This value is not actually a boolean value. It threw me error too sometimes back. Either you pass the boolean value from adaptor factory as a literal value or change the type boolean both in your code and the adapter.
OIM works strangely. ;) All the best,
Manila

Cant create an API app (365 connector or MS SQL connector)

I am trying to create some API apps but when i go through the process for O365 connector as follows nothing gets created.
Click the +(bottom left)
Click "Web + Mobile"
click marketplace
Click on "API Apps" on left hand side
click "create" on the office 365 connector banner
select app service plan
click create
it shows some dots '......." as if its doing something and then back to the Office 365 connector configuration screen except this time the Create button is grayed out and no matter what I do the create button never comes back to life.
Also not connector is created or shows up in my list of API apps. I've tried making new service plans in different resource group, changing the name around but nothing seems to make creation of the connector go through.
Same exact thing happens with the MS SQL connector but the settings are obviously different. End result no api app is created.
Anyone experiencing this or know how to resolve it?

Hi Rice,
A lot of work was done to improve reliability of the preview since launch. Can I recommend that you try again, ideally in a new App Service plan? We appreciate you sticking with us - we're keen to get bits into people's hands as soon as possible to get early
feedback on product direction. In this case that meant a small %age of customers saw some rough edges, our apologies for this.
Let me know how you get on.

Any workaround to CDG-00071 SYSTEM ERROR: Failed to create Forms API context

Hi all,
Is there a workaround to "CDG-00071 SYSTEM ERROR: Failed to create Forms API context" other than re-installing designer, then forms builder on the same ORACLE HOME directory? To do this will cause considerable downtime to our systems.

Hi Diego,
Do you have the correct, corresponding version of
Developer installed? You must install Developer to
be able to generate and run the Forms correctly.
If so, is it in the same <ORACLE_HOME>?
You normally get this error if you don't have Developer
installed in the same ORACLE_HOME as Designer. Please
see the relevant Designer installation guides for full details.

Possibility on creating custom API's in OCCI

Hi,
In OCCI I'm planning to create custom API's i.e. I will pass any kind of query and it should execute and update the database.
For instance,
string query = "insert into stu(a,b) values(:1,:2)";
It will update stu table with data from C++ object suppose 'X'.
This kind of approach will work or it will not. I'm half way through on insert queries but encountering issues when hard coded and only partial data has to be updated in the table.
Before continuing further could you please give me commnets on my approach?.
Thanks
Vishnu

Yes, you can. You can insert values for a few columns as you indicated. What issues are you seeing?

Create an API to Launch an LabVIEW Built Executable and Pass it Input Parameters

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to create an API to Launch/Close an executable, created with LabVIEW, which in additional to Launching/Closing tht executable, will also allow me to pass input parameters.
To give you some background, I'm working on a logging utility, basically a background dameon, which I currently have implemented as a LabVIEW packed library and my API is a few VIs to launch that daemon and pass it a filename and a logging rate. Functionally it works just fine however is executes within LabVIEW not as an independent process. So instead of using a packed library, I would like to compile my logging daemon down to an executable but I still need a way to launch it and pass it parameters from an external application (such as Teststand).
I know you can launch executables and pass parameters using windows command lines, but I'm wondering if there is a more direct method such as a DLL that I could call in Teststand? Thanks.
Post CLD and when I'm a CLA when someone asks who I am, I can spin around in my chair and say "I am... the architect."

When Teststand Launches the Logger, it does so by opening a reference to the logger daemon using the "Open VI Reference" primitive and then it launches an instance of the dameon using the "Start Asynchronous Call" node.
This currently, launches the logger within labview not teststand. If I were to directly call the logger daemon VI itself as a step in TestStand, then it could run in a new teststand thread. At that point I would need a way to stop that logger which I should be able to do by storing a reference to its control queue within the teststand thread that it is running in. Since teststand let's you specify VI execution in the runtime engine instead of LabVIEW that might do the job.
The one catch is once the sequence completes, the logger does some cleanup, post processing, etc that depending on the amount of data captured can take some time so if a set of sequences needs to be executed, this could hang up teststand until that post processing is completed. That is one reason why I wanted it to execute outside of testtand so that additonal sequences could continue to run while the daemon finishes up in the background.
But, it's something I'll have to look into.

Ask for Tips to split a receipt (creating though API)

Hello,
I am currently having an issue with a certain receipt ( which is created by API )..
I guess the issue caused from a great number of lines it holds ...up to more than 18000 lines
so I might need to change the way receitp created.
as it is.. 1 Receipt with 18000 lines
To be ... several receipt with splited 18000 lines. ( I think it's ideal for this case )
however , I'm not really familiar with EBS .
It would be nice to have tips or pointers..
thanks in advance

URGENT** How to change OIM user password from outside OIM

Re-using Segments Created via API or Re-creating Every Time?

Hi All,
Wanted to get your thoughts on this...
We have been able to create Segments via the API, however, which way to go:
OPTION 1: Re-use Segment if there are no additions or deletions (changes) to the list? or
OPTION 2: Re-create the Segment every time via API.
In Option 1, we will still need to compare the existing list to the new list before deciding to re-use. However, the comparison will be done outside of Eloqua.
In Option 2, we may create a new list even though there are no changes but we will have the historical data and it will be easier to identify lists.
In both scenarios, data processing may affect performance.
For those who have done this or are familiar, what would you recommend?
Hope it's clear.
Pinging: TJ Fields-Oracle, 1065474, freejung
Thanks!!

In simpler terms of creating assets and storage, creating new segments each time should not be a problem. That said, the asset choosers might end up being slow if you're blowing past 100k which will ultimately result in a poor user experience for the marketers. Please see:
Eloqua Product Thresholds
Beyond that, you should also consider:
- Developers creating a process where segments and campaigns are being created automatically, and the campaigns being left active for a long time with segments are set to run every hour. For static lists, it wouldn't really result in heavy calculating but you can run into delayed contact entry into campaigns if you have hundreds of segments feeding hundreds of campaigns - each with heavy filtering. At best it would be pointless to run segments (on the canvas) hourly if the lists are static, and at worst you're making everything slower. That doesn't sound like a major concern here but something to keep in mind.
- API tools automatically updating segments which are currently referenced in live campaigns (again, running hourly segments). This means if you re-use assets for new campaigns there is a risk that they're being referenced by a currently live campaign and you end up adding the wrong contacts to the wrong flow. Since segments share a relationship to campaigns as their primary contact feeder, the API tools should only be updating the same segment asset with new contacts if the intent is to add those contacts to an existing campaign.
- Although keeping shared lists or segments untouched gives you some historical tracking, do not assume the contacts in those assets are exactly the same ones which were used when the campaign was launched. For example, if you delete the bouncebacks and unsubscribes after the campaign has run and go back to your segment, even if it is a simple segment with a local list, it will not contain the deleted contacts. For any serious auditing task, let the API tool archive what contacts were added to what segment. Then you can use Bulk 2.0 activity exports to keep a list of what contacts received what emails from various campaigns.

Bojan

Template to create the API index page

So I want to use 'Manager Integrator' to update Integrator's property,but it was read only,
so any one can tell me,how to update the Integrator's property just like coloum type and so on.
ths for advice

Hi,
Use the below update statement.
update bne_integrators_b
set source='C'
where integrator_code='Your Integrator code'
