Custom Extension questions

Hi all,
I'm working on my first Configurator extension, and I'be got a couple of questions.
1. I'm following the demonstration from this site http://apps2fusion.com/at/pb/292-oracle-configurator to build and deploy a sample CZ extension. I've got the code compiling in JDeveloper, and I am logged into EBS and on the Configurator Develop page where I'm trying to create a Configurator Extension Archive. While trying to upload the class (in a ZIP file following proper package structure) I get an error message stating "This file type is not allowed. Please choose another file". I've tried as both a .ZIP file and a .JAR file. Can anyone offer some ideas on what might be causing this problem?
2. The reason for my custom extension is this requirement:
Several fields in the Configurator UI should be defaulted to specific values based upon the Ship To address of the order line item.
I've been researching Configurator Extensions, but none of the examples or scenarios described seem to talk about how to do something along these lines. Has anyone done anything similar and be willing to give me some pointers on the best way to accomplish this?
For reference, this is in an 12.1.3 EBS instance and I'm writing the code in JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0.
Thanks,
-Mike

Mike,
1.
Are you able to open the JAR file using winzip or any other zip utility? If not, then its not correctly formatted. You should build Jar using jdeveloper's Project Deployment settings and then you will not have any issue. Search google/oracle site for this if you don't know its details.
2.
For your requirement, I think CX guide and CZ methodologies guide will help you.
Thanks,
Pankaj

Upcoming Lumira Webinar June 11th on the topic of "Big Data Visualization and Custom Extensions"

The next webinar in the Lumira series is coming up this week on Wednesday, June 11th, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. The day is almost here and if you've already registered, thank you!
If not, please click here to register.
Speaker Profile:
The topic is presented by the Jay Thoden van Velzen, Program Director Global HANA Services/Big Data Services Center of Excellence at SAP!
Jay has been working in Analytics/Business Intelligence since it was called Decision Support Systems in the late 90s. Currently he is focused on Big Data solutions and how to make the various components of such a solution run smoothly integrated together using the SAP HANA Platform.
Abstract:
Big Data analysis poses unique and new challenges to data visualization, compared to more traditional analytics. Such analysis often includes frequency counts, analysis of relationships in a network, and elements of statistical and predictive modeling. In many cases, traditional visualization techniques of bar- and column charts, pie charts and line graphs are not the most appropriate. We have to avoid the “beautiful hairball” and make it easy for end users to absorb the information through clever use of filtering, transparency and interactivity. We will likely also need to provide more context to go with the visualization than we have been used to in traditional analytics. Moreover, in case of forecasts you need to include any confidence intervals in order not to mislead.
This means we need more chart types, and often the chart types you need may not exist, nor could the need for such chart types necessarily be foreseen. However, Lumira allows us to design and code our own D3.js visualizations and integrate it into Lumira while providing all the data access methods – including SAP HANA – that it provides out of the box. This means we can develop our visualizations to share the outcomes of Big Data analysis to exactly how we feel it should be presented. During the webinar we will show a number of examples, and specifically the integration of forecasts coming from R into Lumira through a Lumira custom extension.
We really hope to see you there!
Cheers!

Idoc Types with customer extension in XI

Hello,
I have a question / problem.
Is it possible to import an IDOC Type like HRMD_A06 with an customer extension like ZRMD_A06 into XI ?
I have no idea how that could works ...
Thanks for your feedback !
Regards
Florian

Hi,
You can import IDoc structure with extensions also. It will be same as importing normal idoc structure.
We have done many like that in our project.
What is the problem you are facing ?

Interaction of Marker list with custom extensions.

Hi,
How I can interact the marker list with custom extension.
For example if I want to see the file name and mark in mark out time codes in my custom panel, then what I need to do?
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Extension Manager is only responsible for the installation and management of extensions. Your question is about how to implement the functionalities of your extension. I am not clear about it. I am afraid you should post the question to the forum of corresponding product.

MAM customer extension items

Hi All,
I have a requirement to store some additional data for equipment characteristics from the MAM2.5 screens and send this through to R/3 for update.
I would like to use the customer extension item 180 of MAM25_031 to do this.
I have the following problems though:
1) The standard interface Mam031Item180 does not contain the set methods for these fields.
2) The MeRepMeta.xml has the fields as non-modifiable.
3) The SyncBo definition on the MI sever has a MAM25_031_CHANGE BAPI but the customer extension fields are not mapped so data is not sent through to R/3.
I an get around 1) and 2), but I am not able to map the fields myself in the SyncBo as I get message "The name MAM25_031 does not start with either Y or Z"
Does anyone know how SAP expect us to use these customer extensions given the above problems?
Thanks for your help,
Denis.

Hi Gopi,
I have the same requirement, apart that it is for functional locations item 170, but I'm having trouble testing my new syncbo using merep_emulator. It seems that most of the time, the change method is not being called. Furthermore when it is called, all parameter tables are empty, apart from the funclocID.
(When I sync from the frontend client to the middleware, the changed data is sent to the middleware)
Can you answer following questions please:
1. What is the right sequence to test the syncbo using merep_emulator. (can I pick any message from any device?)
2. How can I make sure the change method is being called.
3. How can I test AND DEBUG the syncbo using merep_emulator
Many Thanks in advance

How to use customer extension table for schedule line for shopping cart ?

Could you please help me on how I should proceed with the appending the structures so that the end user can fill the shopping cart schedule line details?
Which fields should I consider in such cases?
Thanks and regards,

Need to get filename from custom extension

Hello,
I am currently writing a custom extension and I'm having a tough time trying to get the filename of the document (java file) of the currently selected (and opened) file. So I have a java file open and right click on it to launch my extension. How do I get information on that document?
Also is there javadocs for the extsnsion API's? If so where are they located.
Thanks in advance!
Bill

Hi Bill,
You can find javadoc on the extension API via the help system (JDeveloper Extension SDK topic under the Reference section). Alternatively, you can extract the contents of the ${jdevhome}/jdev/doc/ohj/jdev-doc.jar to a directory somewhere to view the javadoc in a browser.
To get the filename of a document, assuming you're using 10g (not much different from 9.0.x), you need to get an instance of oracle.ide.addin.Context. Normally, you'll have a Context instance because you're implementing your logic in a Controller or a Command subclass. If not, you can obtain one using:
Ide.getMainWindow().getLastActiveView().getContext()Once you have the context, you can get the current selection from it. If that selection implements oracle.ide.model.Locatable, it has a URL. From the URL, you can get the filename:
import oracle.ide.model.Element;
import oracle.ide.model.Locatable;
import java.net.URL;
import oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem;
Element[] selection = context.getSelection();
if ( selection != null )
if ( selection[0] instanceof Locatable )
    URL url = ((Locatable)selection[0]).getURL();
    String filePath = URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(
      url
}One final thing, if the current view is an editor, the selection may be empty or will not contain Locatables. If that's the case, you might want to get the Document from the Context instead. I.e.:
URL url = context.getDocument().getURL();
String filePath = URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(
url
);Thanks,
Brian

How to test and configure custom extensions in Flash Pro CC?

Hi,
How do you install custom CS extensions in Flash Pro CC for testing and debugging before they have been signed and packaged?
We have a custom extension for Flash Pro developed in-house using the CS SDK that we've been using with flash pro CS5 and CS6 but we're having trouble getting it to work in CC and I'd like to run it locally in test/debug mode.
With flash pro CS6 and CS5 it was possible to test extensions by copying the output folder from flash builder into the CS Service Manager root folder (e.g. /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager) and setting PlayerDebugMode to 1 in the CSXS preferences.
I've added the PlayerDebugMode=1 flag to com.adobe.CSXS.4.plist however, I can't find the equivalent service manager folder for Flash Pro CC to copy the extension into.
Is there a different folder to use for CC or is the process for testing extensions completely different? (are extensions written in the CS SDK even compatible with CC?)
I'm running Mac OS Lion.
Thanks,
Stephen

Thanks, that explains a lot.
I'm afraid I'm a bit confused about what the preferred way of developing extensions is going ahead. There seems to be a lot of conflicting documentation on the adobe site, e.g. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite.html seems like the top page for extension documentation but it only talks about CS SDK 2.0 which uses CSXS and doesn't seem to be compatible with creative cloud apps.
Then there's CS Extension Builder 2.1 which looks like it supports Flash Pro CC but isn't mentioned in the pages you linked too and it doesn't mention JSFL, but talks about the CSAW library.
Do you know if:
* The CS SDK has been dropped completely?
* CS Extenstion Builder is deprecated? (I can't see it as an option in the list of Creative Cloud apps)
* Is then any documentation/utilities to help migrate existing CSXS extensions to work with creative cloud apps?
Thanks,
Stephen

Use Custom Extension Web Item to Retrieve DSO Data Directly

Hi experts,
Is it possible to use Custom Extension Item in BEx WAD to retrieve DSO data directly? The idea is to display master data for a line item (e.g. customer name, id, address etc.) in the header section of a Web Template. If it is possible, how can I implement that?
If not, is there any other possibility to fulfill the requirement?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joon

Hi experts,
any update on this?
Thanks,

Where can I get a custom extension developed?

Things are a bit quiet in the extensions forum, so I thought
I'd try posting this here too:
I will soon be needing a custom extension built for a
software program. Where to I post a job such as this? Is there a
forum that specifically hooks up developers with companies that
need a custom extension?
Thanks!
eCat

Might try the Dreamweaver Developer forum... It's not for
postig jobs but somebody might respond.
Also, check with the guys at Project VII, if they won't do
it, they might know somebody who can.

E-mail functions for Custom Extensions

Hello,
Is there a way to use the e-mail functions that P4P uses, including reading the config file, in a Custom Extension?
Thanks, in advance.

you can use something like the following
//If you want to get the current user's email (as the From):
var currentUser = userService.UserContext.User.ContainedUser as IUser;
string from = currentUser.email;
// To get the email info of the originator from a spec, access the SpecSummary's Originator property, which is an IUser, and then get the email property of the user.
string to = <yourSpec>.SpecSummary.Originator.email;
string subject = "...";
EmailService().SendMessage(from , to, subject, body);
private static IUserService GetUserService()
return AppPlatformHelper.ServiceManager.GetServiceByType<IUserService>();
private static IEmailService EmailService()
return AppPlatformHelper.ServiceManager.GetServiceByType<IEmailService>();
