Custom connector pane pattern

is it possible to create one at all when creating a SubVI?
annoyingly, there's no pattern for 5 either side (split into ten equal parts) and i'd quite like that!
is there a way or will I just have to use another pattern and just make the wiring look at if it's 5 either side?
thanks in advance,
Michael

There is now law that you must use all terminals. On the contrary, it is usually beneficial to plan ahead and use a pattern with a few more for future expansion.
In your case, use the third last pattern, it has 5 on each side. Just disregard the terminals on the bottom and top.

Connector pane pattern bug

LV2011, cant check other versions right now.
The Connector pane pattern window doesn't mark/show your currently selected pattern. Not a big bug, but i still classify it as such.

I think it would be just wrong not to go with the one most people like. However it might also be such a simple change that we can make a less popular but very fitting change be implemented. Exactly how this decision is made I cannot say as I'm not part of the R&D team, but I would guess they weight it something like this. Just look at the implementation of 2014 and see if you can find the idea exchange for this and you can see =)

LabVIEW 2009 SP1 - Incorrect icon in connector pane palette

In LabVIEW 2009 SP1 (I don't have 2010 yet to check it) there seems to be a minor bug in the connector pane palette.
One of the connector patters appears twice, but when you select the second one, it shows up as the missing pattern.
I'd post an image, but that function seems to be broken getting through my company's proxy server. So image attached (I hope).

So you must be using crazy non-standard connector panes, or you would not have discovered this bug. Right? Actuall this is a good catch for it to go unnoticed for this long.

Need help to develop a custom connector

I need some help on developing the custom connector to Homegrown application and the version i am using is OIM9.0.3
First of all what are the steps do we need to care while developing a custom connector.
I can't able to find the process in google to develop the custom connector.
If you have any data regarding the development of custom connector, plz share to me....
What are the thing do we need to take care while developing the connector.
I referred in OIM9.1 version there was an option to develop the Custom connector by using Genric technology, can we create the custom connector by using the GTC feature in OIM 9.1
early response will be appreciated

The docs for the new GTC framework are here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10391_01/doc.910/e10360/about.htm#Toc153968019. GTC is useful if you target application exposes standards-based SPML (Service Provisioning Markup Language) user management interfaces, although it sounds like this isn't the case for you.
You will most likely need to go the traditional route in terms of connector development, which involves building OIM Process Task Adapters to invoke the application API's (I assume they're Java?) and invoking those adapters from within an OIM Provisioning Process.

How to do autoprovisioning to a custom connector based on jobcodes?

Hi,
I have developed a custom connector which has 50 job codes. Based on the job codes we need to do autoprovisioning. How this is possible? do we need to create rule for each job? Thanks in advance

It means, when your provisioning happens, you have the "Create User" task. This is actually just a non-conditional task which runs after the process form saves. You can trigger a new task on the response code for a completed user which then performs logic associated with your job code and do any other additional provisioning.
For your logic, you can store information like "Job Code ABC=Target Role XYZ" and place these into a lookup and reference them.

How do I dynamically open a VI and load values into its connector pane?

I'm trying to open a VI as a prompt to another VI without opening the second VI's front panel until the user clicks OK in the first window. The second VI takes inputs from the first thru its connector pane. How do I dynamically open the second VI?

I think what you mean is call by reference dynamically loading VI's
You can read up on it here
If you want to make a static call to the sub vi just set the Front Panel Options to "Open Front Panel when called"
See here for more info
Hope that answers your question

Searching for Sales Order for the given Customer PO Number Pattern in BAPI

Hi,
     I have developed a BAPI which retrieves all the Sales Orders for a given Customer (Sold-To). The Following are the Input Parameters given in the Function Module (RFC).
Customer Number (Mandatory)
From Date (Optional)
To Date (Optional)
Sales Order Number(Optional)
Customer PO Number(Optional)
Now, when the Customer PO Number is populated, it will come as a Pattern, say 9ab* and I need to retrieve all the Sales Orders with PO Number starting with 9ab.
When I am trying to retrieve, it is giving different set of output based on the Case specified in the Customer PO Number Pattern. Lets say, if I give 9ab, I get 200 Records but if I give 9AB, I get only 5 to 6 Records.
As I have understood from the Standard Transaction VA03, it has a Search Help VMVAA which retrieves all the Sales Orders for the given PO Number pattern irrespective of the Case, that is Lower Case, Upper Case or Mix of Upper and Lower Case.
I can see the Code in the Search Help Exit but couldn't find useful piece of code which I can implement in my BAPI to simulate the same.
Can somebody help me on this?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Sudhir,
         I think you did not understand what my problem is. What I mean to say is, for Customer X, the PO Number could be 9abc and for Customer Y, the PO Number Could be 9ABC.
       So, according to your logic, if I translate it to Upper Case, it will give the Sales Order details of Customer Y to Customer X.
      And more over, SAP stores the PO Number as it is entered in the Sales Order Screen (VA01).
    What if the Customer PO Number for Customer X is 9aBcDeFgH? and the PO Number for Customer Y is 9AbCdEf?
   Hope you've understood my question.
Thanks,
Venkat.

VI Reference type does not match VI connector pane

I am trying to use Open VI Reference in LabVIEW 8. I am getting error 1031 "VI Reference type does not match VI connector pane." I have a Type Specifier wired to the Type Sepcifier terminal, and I've gone in and selected Select VI Server Class / Browse, and selected the VIT that matches the input path.
My path is correct.
I wired 0x10 (16) to the options terminal so that I would be prompted if LabVIEW couldn't find the necessary subVI files.
I restarted my computer to make sure the old type specifer was not in memory.
Any thoughts on why I still get error 1031?
Thanks,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
I am still investigating this problem, but right now I do have a workaround for you. If you open your template VI and drag its icon into the type specifier constant, and also drag it into the refnum indicator on the panel of your calling VI, the problem no longer occurs. For some reason the "Browse" operation is behaving differently than dragging the VI icon. I will continue investigating this and let you know what I find out.
Ben: There is no way to automatically update the type specifiers. I've seen people typedef their specifiers before, so they only have to change them in one place when the subVI connector pane changes. We already have this suggestion on file to consider for a future LabVIEW version.

Get Control Reference From Connector Pane

I am trying to get a reference to a control associated with a specific index on the connector pane. I see that there is a method to assign a control to a terminal but not get control from a specific terminal. I know I can list all controls on the connector pane, but this doesn't tell me specifically where they are.
Edit: I see there are private methods for getting and setting properties which may have this info, but because these are undocumented and they are properties of a VI which is binary, I can't reverse engineer.

GregFreeman wrote:
The disconnect I had was that the array of controls that the connector pane property node will return has null refnums for unwired terminals, but there are still references for every terminal on the pane.
For learning about the terminals on an object, a good tactic is to drop the object on a diagram and select Visible Items > Terminals:
If you see completely enclosed terminal rects (like in the subVI terminals), then reading the "Terminals[]" property of the object will return all of them, even the null data type ones. So for the subVI, you can see that there are 12 distinct terminal rects, so that's how many terminals the object has. But on the built-in function, there are only 6 enclosed terminal rects. So reading the "Terminals[]" property on the subVI will return 12 items, and reading it on the function will return 6.

Good find on the example VI...

How do I get connector pane names programatically with ActiveX?

I am learning how to use LabVIEW's ActiveX automation to call LabVIEW VIs from Python.
The following code works as expected (the comments are a little too verbose, but they help):
# Example: calling LabVIEW from Python
# grab the LabVIEW ActiveX interface
# generated with the Python COM Makepy utility
import labview_pycom
# grab a handle to the LabVIEW 8 application
lv = labview_pycom.Application()
# open up a VI -- path, password, reserve handle (t/f)
vi = lv.GetVIReference(r"C:\Test VIs\Hex Adder.vi", "", True)
# call the VI with named parameters and corresponding values
# pass ALL parameters here -- input and output;
# - output parameter values are don't cares
# - will return names of all passed parameters and values
returns = vi.Call(["String", "String 2", "Sum", "hex Sum"], ["1", "2", 0, ""])
print returns
My Hex Adder.vi takes two strings "String" and "String 2", parses them into integers, and adds them. It outputs an integer, "Sum", and the sum as a string, "hex Sum".
Output:
((u'String', u'String 2', u'Sum', u'hex Sum'), (u'1', u'2', 3, u'00000003'))
I explicitly pass names of items on the connector pane in vi.call( ... ), and that's OK in this application. I want to know, though, what names and values I could pass, without dissecting the connector pane in LabVIEW.
Is it possible to ask LabVIEW, through a function call, the names of all the front panel controls or items on the connector pane? The GetControlValue(...) and SetControlValue(...) take named parameters -- but I want a list of the names they can take.
Thanks!
Matthew Ploguh

I am not sure if the ActiveX server exposes a method to get a VI's controls.
Why don't you just write a VI that uses "Open VI Reference" and the VI server properties to enumerate the controls on the VI? You can then call this VI from python to get the parameters of the VI that you really want to call.

Restful Webservice custom connector

Hi All,
I would like to know the best practice to create custom connector for Restful web service methods.Currently we are following simple java code which connects to service provider and pass the JSON object and perform the required actions.
Is it possible to develop this kind of connector using ICF, if yes what is the process need to follow Or is there any best way to achieve this.
I am currently trying to configure using ICF by following the example provided in learning library.
Thanks
Arun

Hi,
Follow below steps to create custom connectors:
1. Create IT Resource Definition -- which will be your connector class connection parameters
2. Create IT Resource - provide all connection parameter values
3. Create Resource Object
4. Create Process Form, add all required fields that are required for your target system.
5. Create process task adapter and call you java code to create user record in target system
6. Create Process definition (Provisioning Type), attach process form created above step and also check "default process"
7. Create unconditional task in process definition say "Create User" and map the adapter created in step 5.
These are high level steps, I hope u know how to create all above OIM metadata.

Raghav.

Custom Connector for Database for reconicitation

Hi,
I have written my own customer connector to load all the users from external application database to OIM for reconcilitation (just initial loading of users).Now I want to check if a user information is changed in OIM it should be reflected in database and vice versa (if a user information is changed in database it should reflect in OIM).Which API will get us the all details from OIM or atleast.. those details.. from which I can get to know.. which records were updated....I cant find it in API guides of OIM.. please dont give me the link for OIM api guides
Thanks
Edited by: user642288 on Apr 6, 2009 9:35 AM

For changes in the target, i would suggest using a last modified timestamp. Use this value on your it resource. During your reconciliation, query only for those records that have been modifed. When you complete the recon, update the timestamp with the current value.
If there are specific fields you want to pass from the Xellerate User profile to the target database, you'll need to trigger the changes using the Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS lookup. Add your triggers to the provisioning process definition for your database provisioning to update the fields on your form to trigger the "Updated" tasks to write the value to the target.
You should not need any OIM APIs for the provisioning so long as you have configuring provisioning tasks to your target.

There is usually a button bar with buttons to format text like Bold and Italic just above the text area where you compose and edit the message text.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the link text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Calling RFC from custom connector

Hi,
I am developing a custom connector for UWL to get tasks from 3rd party system.
I need to call a RFC from backend SAP system to complete Input data for this 3rd party provider.
I assume that I have to make an RFC call from getItems() method of connector.
Any idea how to call a RFC from UWL custom connector code?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Amey

Hello Karri,
Yes, I am aware of two ways of calling RFCs from Java code.
Normally, I use following approach to call RFCs from my other Portal Components (JSPDynpages): -
IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
IPortalComponentContext myContext = request.getComponentContext();
IPortalComponentProfile myProfile = myContext.getProfile();
String sapSystem = myProfile.getProperty("SystemIdentifier");
ISystemLandscapeWrapper landscapeWrapper = (ISystemLandscapeWrapper) UMFactory.getSystemLandscapeWrappers().get(0);
ISystemLandscapeObject systemLandscapeObject = landscapeWrapper.getSystemByAlias(sapSystem);
IJCOClientService clientService = (IJCOClientService) PortalRuntime.
getRuntimeResources().getService(JCO_CLIENT);
request.getNode().putValue(LOCALE_NODE_KEY, Locale.ENGLISH);
IJCOClientPoolEntry poolEntry = clientService.getJCOClientPoolEntry(sapSystem,request);
JCO.Client client = poolEntry.getJCOClient();
client.connect();
IRepository repository = JCO.createRepository("repository", client);
IFunctionTemplate functionTemplate = repository.getFunctionTemplate(Z_BAPI_EMP_GBU_GET);
JCO.Function function = new JCO.Function(functionTemplate);
JCO.ParameterList importList = function.getImportParameterList();
importList.setValue("US", "OBJTYP");
importList.setValue(request.getUser().getUniqueName(), "USRID");
client.execute(function);
JCO.ParameterList outputList = function.getExportParameterList();
gbuCountryBean.setGbu(outputList.getString("GBU"));
gbuCountryBean.setCountry(outputList.getString("COUNTRYCODE"));
gbuCountryBean.setPersArea(outputList.getString("PERS_AREA"));
gbuCountryBean.setCompanyCode(outputList.getString("COMPANYCODE"));
When I tried implementing same in UWL custom connector, I am not able to get instance of 'request' object.
Any hints/ideas on this?
Hence as an temporary alternative, I wrote following to successfully execute RFC.
mConnection = JCO.createClient(sapclient, sapuser,
sappassword, "EN", saphost, sapsysnumber);
mConnection.connect();
mRepository = new JCO.Repository("GetLeaveRequestFlag", mConnection );
IFunctionTemplate ftemplate = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate(Z_BAPI_CHECK_LR_TO_APPROVE);
myFunction = new JCO.Function(ftemplate);
JCO.Field OBJECT_TYPE = myFunction.getImportParameterList().getField("OBJECT_TYPE");
OBJECT_TYPE.setValue("US");
JCO.Field USERID = myFunction.getImportParameterList().getField("USERID");
OBJECT_TYPE.setValue(p_userID);
mConnection.execute(myFunction);
JCO.Field leaveRequestFlag = myFunction.getExportParameterList().getField("FLAG_LEAVE_REQUEST_RECORD");
mConnection.disconnect();
But only catch here is that I need to create & maintain SAP logon credentials for a particular user manually.
It is not possible to single sign on connector user into SAP system (like its done above).
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Amey
