CVS, SCM or which???

Hi everybody,
I started to use Jdeveloper two or three months ago. Since that I have been testing its features and as part of this investigation I tested the integration with SCM and CVS as a version control.
I have had some problems with SCM, principally there are some files like struts-config.xml that when a user changes it and another user gets the last version of the file, the changes are not updated. It is a serious problem if you consider that the struts-config.xml is the main part of struts. Nick R Rudnik and Brian Duff (members of this forum) told me that is a problem of the version of the JDeveloper.
After those problems I decided to try with CVS, but the problem now is when I Check out a project, the project can't find tld libraries used by struts, also it can't find custom .jar files created as a libraries, which means a problem when you work with a big group of programmers because every time that you update or get the last version of your project you have to import again every jar file that you use.
I would like to know how to solve theses problems, or I'd like a recommendation in order to work with some tool as CVS or SCM in a way that I don't have to stop my work in order to solve silly problems.
I would like to hear your opinion.
Thanks,
Pedro

Hi,
I also test SCM and I had the same problem and there is also more problem like when a user add a file to the project so that the jpr file will be modified and at the same time another user add file to the project the will be when we try to close the private branch (the automatic merge will not work and you must fix it manually and so you must now the jpr format file).
So any body can help us me and Pedro.

OER Atrifacts Store Setup and Configuration for CVS.

Hello,
My question is related to proper configuration of a CVS based Artifact Store in Oracle Enterprise Repository.
I've attempted to configure a CVS Artifact Store from within OER's Asset Editor (as described on page 27 of the OER Configuration Guide & pages 92-93 of the OER Admin Guide.) I have also ensured that this new Artifact Store is selected in the dropdown for the Submission Upload Artifact Store system setting on the OER Admin page. However, my configuration settings for the Store appear to be incorrect and I haven't found a CVS example that has been thorough enough to infer the proper settings.
So I'm hoping someone can assist me who has been through configuring a CVS Artifact Store for OER. I'll try to provide detailed information below with the hope that it may be of assistance.
First, analogous CVS settings that are configured for my standard CVS plug-in in Oracle Workshop. These settings are for the pserver protocol, but I think they will provide some value to someone who has experience in configuring a CVS Artifact Store.
The standard Eclipse CVS plug-in settings for our enterprise repository location:
Connection Type: pserver
User: sampleuser
Password: Pa55wd
Host: dev003
Repository Path: /cvs/Integration
This translates to repository location --> :pserver:sampleuser:Pa55wd@dev003:/cvs/Integration
(Which is the root of our enterprise CVS repository)
Now…within this repository location above there is a module (Development/OER-POC) that is located in:
/cvs/Integration/Development/OER-POC
…and checked out into a project called "Sandbox" located in the default workspace in Oracle Workshop.
Additionally, within the organization we also have HTTP access to CVS. This previous example XSD I just mentioned has an HTTP URI of:
http://dev003:8080/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/Development/OER-POC/src/schemas/ExtOfAddrRef/v1/ExtOfAddrRef.xsd?cvsroot=Integration
Now as I have attempted to properly set up the configuration for the OER Artifact Store I have "translated" the above information into the following entries on the Artifact Store setup screen:
Name: CVS Enterprise Store
Type: Raw SCM
Hostname: dev003
SCM Location: Integration (??? Not sure if this has been inferred correctly. If not what should be specified here.)
SCM Type: CVS
Download Path URI Suffix: cvsroot=Integration (??? Not sure if this correct based in previous information?)
Download Path URI: (??? Not sure what should be specified here. I have inferred several logical options but they have not worked.)
Finally, when I referenced page 62 of the ORE Core Registrars Guide PDF the "Additional Development documentation" link (http://devwiki.flashline.com/index.php/B02831) states:
• "All files from an SCM will be URL addressable. The SCM (or a third party) must provide a way to get a particular file based on a URL. In other words, we are not going to use any client libraries to write code that will retrieve us a file from an SCM. "
• "Added concept of a 'download path' to an artifact store. For example, consider our development environment. Eclipse will have SCM information (i.e. cvs.flashline.com), eclipse/cvs project information (i.e. projects/framework/modules/com.flashline.geneva.rbac), and file/cvs file information (i.e. /code/com/flashline/geneva/rbac/base/RoleContextPersistBroker.java?rev=1.66). Using this info, a fileinfo's uri can be set. The artifact store will then allow us to specify a download base path such as http://cvs.flashline.com/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/."
To conclude my questions are:
1) Based on the comments in the Registrar's Guide it seems clear that the intent of an Artifact Store is purely for the support of downloading the physical artifact that corresponds to an OER asset. I would conclude that "Raw SCM" based Artifact Stores do not intend to support direct check-ins for the various SCM systems. (rather assets/artifacts in Eclipse would be manually checked in from within the IDE environment). If someone could confirm whether this is correct that would be much appreciated.
2) Based on the information I supplied for the example enterprise CVS repository...what would the appropriate settings be for these fields on the Artifact Store setup screen:
a) SCM Location
b) Download Path URI Suffix
c) Download Path URI
3) Since the "CVS" SCM Type does NOT specify fields for username and password (unlike when you select other potential SCM Types in the Store setup screen); how should one handle credentials in CVS repositories?
Thanks in advance to any assistance.

Hello user642477,
I'm facing the same problem.
It seems to me that the Oracles's guide line don't give enough information. I'll try to fixed it and whether I'm able to do so far I'll be in touch...
By the way, how could you browse to the link: http://devwiki.flashline.com/index.php/B02831? When I try it so a page cannot be displayed message is displayed.

Creator 2 - CVS Issue

Gentlemen,
I have the following issue, and I was wondering if I am the only one or if I missed something
(I am a new Java Studio Creator 2 user, but I am fairly proficient in CVS)..
I started by installing Creator on my work computer.. Created a project and imported it into my CVS (so far, so good)..
Next, I went home - wanting to do a bit more on that project, so I installed Creator on my home computer..
Checked out my project from my CVS server on which I initially imported the project (that worked fine) and started working on it. Made a few changes here and there - so I thought it was time to commit the changes back to my CVS server..
Unfortunatelly, none of the files/folders show any 'CVS' contextual menu item. Neither in the 'file' tab, nor in the 'version revision' tab.
Mind it, it is NOT a big deal (I am sure I can still manually commit the changes back using a command line CVS) - but it is a little annoying not to be able to do it from the IDE.
At this point I know Studio Creator CVS still works because I can still issue a 'checkout' to update my local work repository in respect to the server repository (it just tells me the files I worked on are locally modified ('M' status) - I am the only one working on that project).
Also note that I didn't have that problem on the computer from which I issued the initial CVS import.
Are there any workarounds ? Did I miss something - or is this a bug ?
Thanks,
--Ivan

Hi,
I choose a "Use build in CVS client" in the IDE
Unfortunatelly, none of the files/folders show any 'CVS' contextual menu item. Neither in the 'file' tab, nor in the 'version revision' tab.I can see the folders/files under versioning tab.

Livecache changes during SCM Unicode conversion

I am starting a unicode conversion of our SCM system which was just upgraded to 7.01. Before the conversion, our liveCache database was on a different host than our SCM system so we moved it to the same hardware. The process we used was to do a backup of the current liveCache, create a new instance on the new hardware and then do a restore of that liveCache from the original liveCache's backup.
For the Unicode conversion can we use this same process, but before restoring the liveCache, change the _UNICODE = 'YES' parameter for the liveCache? I read note 632357, but it didn't seem like that was neccessary, if I just created a new instance of liveCache where the SCM system target would land, changed the parameter and then did a restore from the backup?

Hello George,
1) The _UNICODE liveCache parameter should have the same value in the target liveCache instance as you have in the source liveCache instance, if you would like to do the
u201CHomogenous liveCache copy using backup/restoreu2019 using the SAP note:
457425 Homogenous liveCache copy using backup/restore
2) If you are planning to convert your system/liveCache to Unicode you have to follow all steps given in the SAP Note No. 632357.
3) If you have problems to follow the steps recommended in the SAP Note No. 632357, please create the SAP message to the component BC-DB-LCA, so we could discuss your issues in details.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Purpose of SCM

Hi Forum,
we are looking for a software for versioning and/or bug tracking features. Thereby I came upon Oracle's SCM. Our focus is to develop a Application (Delphi) with connection to an oracle database. I wonder whats the aim of Oracle's SCM. Is it just meant for developing and programming application with Oracle Designer , Forms etc. or is it possible to use it independent from that with another programming environment and language (in my case with Borland's delphi)?
Thank you for any reply,
Katharina

I've been using Oracle SCM for a long time and can tell you that it is possible to version control any type of file you want. It works especially well under JDeveloper which natively supports the SCM system. However, if your IDE doesn't support it, there is a standalone 9i SCM tool which lets you map directories from the version control repository to local folders. Then, you can branch off, check-out, or do whatever other source control operation you want to.

Controlling input to SCM JDev9.0.3

Hi.
I was wondering. The new SCM API supplies a whole new SCMShellRunner class in which methods of monitoring error streams and output streams are added. The documentation provided for this API is not excactelly detailed.
Is this new functionallity a way of detecting for instance if the output from the scm executable prompts for user action? If so, how do I use it to catch a system input prompt and make a dialog to handle it? What I've done before is totally ignore all input requests from the scm executable, which in some cases does not behave quite as reliable as it should. Sometimes the SCM definatelly should prompt for user action.

Hi Xystein.
Please refer to a previous response on this matter -

Learning SAP SCM

Hi All,
If I want to learn SCM, where do i start? i know i can go and study at help.sap.com but what i dont understand is, which is the technical part of SCM and which is the functional part of SCM?
Having studied mechanical engineering, I've some industry exposure in my uncle's small manufacturing company before moving to IT field but not in the SAP field. I want to move to SAP field with SCM, so I would appreciate your inputs and suggestions and/or any documents on it.
Thanks,
Suchitra

Hello
I am in a similar situation as Suchitra Chawla, however, I am an Industrial Engineer & I have been exposed to SAP in consulting projects but in a Change Management role. I now desire to invest in SAP SCM training so that I may fined a better Job in SAP with my four years experience in Change Management for SAP. I am in north America.
I'm considering one of the following courses:
SAP eAcademy SCM - Procurement
SAP eAcademy SCM - Order Fulfillment
However I went online to see what employers are looking for in a SAP analyst/consultant and one of the adverts was as follows:
Expertise in SAP: SCM-Advanced Planner & Optimizer (APO), SCM-APO-Demand Planning & Forecasting, SCM-APO-Supply Network Planning (SNP), SCM-Manufacturing-Production Planning (PP), SCM-Manufacturing-Detailed Scheduling (PP-DS), SCM-Global Available-to-Promise (GATP), SCM-Transportation Planning & Vehicle Scheduling (TPVS), SCM-APO-Inventory Collaboration Hub (ICH), SCM-Warehousing-Distribution, SCM-Warehousing-Multiple Handling Units, CS-Global Trade Services (GTS), Logistics Execution (LE), LE-Shipping (LE-S), Inventory Management (MM-IM), LE-Warehouse Management (LE-WM), Transportation Management (LO-TR)
• Ability to meet travel requirements, when applicable
• Minimum 4 years of experience plus 1 full implementation
• Relevant degree or equivalent in professional experience
I have three questions based on the information I have given you above:
>Which of the two courses will better position me strategically for employment as an SAP analyst/consultant in Supply Chain (I known there are no grantees, I just want an opinion.. responsibility lies with me )
>looking at the advert displayed above and using your experience in the field do think any of these two courses are accurate in terms of what is needed as SAP SCM practitioner or are they just an overview. Should I rather pursue training in one of the skills mentioned in the advert e.g. 'LE-Warehouse Management (LE-WM)'
> Are there any other SAP SCM training that you would suggest that you consider more useful or accurate in terms what is needed in the SAP SCM field
Thanks, Hope you will be able to help.

RFC connection problem

Hello All,
We are setting up communication between R/3 4.7 and SCM 5.0 system for EWM (Extended warehouse management) with RFC connection and using IDocs to transfer data from one box to another box.
IDoc from R/3 to SCM system is working fine, we are able to complete the transactions in SCM system and after successful completion all transaction in SCM it should trigger Idoc for R/3 which is not happening.
It throws error as <b>"An RFC destination could not be specified for the logical system XXXCLNT123"</b>
We have checked SM59 (RFC connection), WE20 (Partner profile), WE21 ( IDoc port connection) it seems fine.
Interesting thing is we are able to get information about stock from R/3 system in SCM system which are correct information.
Can anyone give some idea if we are missing something to check?
Thanks & regards
Arif Mansuri

Hi Team,
We have the same problem , which was mentioned above. Please let us know, which Message type need to be used for sending the stock information to ERP after Delivery completion
The following Process we followed
PO Creation---ERP
Inbound delivery-ERP
Inbound Delivery Process-EWM
WareHouse Task-EWM
Unloading-EWM
WareHouse Task/WareHouse Order Confirmation-EWM
Once the WT/WO is confirmed , Goods receipt status is updated automatically and "Post Processing Framwork (PPF) status shows with RED and error message says."An RFC destination could not be specified for the logical system E6SCLNT900"
Here I have one doubt, We have maintained client names as A0000039 (for EWM,but original client name is SC7CLNT100 ) and E6SCLNT900 ( for ERP , original client name also E6SCLNT900)
Will there be any issue with A0000039?(because we did not maintained as per the original client name ie SC7CLNT100)
Thank you for your help
Thank you

My cd/dvd drive does not recognize/load cds

iMac 10.6.8 snow leopard with iTunes 11.0, purchased in 2008.
The cd will be accepted into the drive which will begin to turn/mount the disk followed by a few clicks after which the drive stops, tries again, tries a 3rd time and then ejects the cd. Dvds do load but I have been experiencing "skipping over damaged area" msgs when there is no damage. Resetting the SMC alleviates that problem for dvds but not the cd loading problem. Cds that have been accepted in the past do no load, even brand new cds.
I do play dvds and cds frequently but before I conclude that my drive is failing due to wear and tear, I wanted to know if there's a way to clean the drive, if that's the problem. The drive does not accept a dvd/cd drive cleaning disk.
Any suggestions for further at-home diagnosis/refurbishing before I contact my local authorized repair person or buy a Superdrive to substitute for the malfunctioning drive?

None of the information you have provided answered my question regarding a way to clean/refurbish a drive which will not accept a dvd/cd cleaning disk.
You finally advised me to do what I had already done prior to posting.
Perhaps you have a reading comprehension problem. Although the internal drives are generically referred to as superdrives, I only employed that term in my initial post when referring to purchasing an external drive to potentially be shared with a laptop. So, the confusion is yours.
The link below gives simple yet comprehensive coverage of when, why and how to reset SCM/PRAM, which does not include my CD mounting issue, although it resolved the "skipping over damaged areas" problem I had prior to my original post regarding alternative ways to clean the internal drive.
http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2010/12/04/how-when-why-to-reset-the-pram-smc-on -your-mac/
The link below contains a discussion of failing dvd/cd drives for iMacs of the same vintage as mine with the similar mounting issues. I had no success mounting a CD via a virtual XP environment, so it's more likely a hardware issue.

Here's a link discussing pros and cons for buying a USB Superdrive (external Superdrive as I mentioned).

[IDS CS3 WIN] .tmp and .idlk files not getting cleaned up

I'm using a C# Soap client with CS3 Server on Windows. My script is opening a template file, importing a tagged file, then saving an ID document and generating a PDF file. The script closes the document before quiting, but I'm seeing a trail of .idlk and .tmp files left behind on the server.
Example: I'm starting with the following files... importTemplate.indd and importTest.txt. The script opens importTemplate.indd, imports importTest.txt and creates importTest.indd and importTest.pdf, then closes the document.
For testing purposes, these files are all located in the same location. What I see in the directory after the script has run (successfully) now includes the following:
tes493.tmp
~importtemplate~uvw2ve.idlk
~importtest~borbth.idlk
~importtest~myhstu.idlk
I am closing the document with the following:
app.documents.item(0).close(SaveOptions.no);
I could understand if the document wasn't getting closed that I would see one .idlk file, but why 3?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hi again
does the '3 days ago' actually set the time? so '1 week ago' would be valid too?Ah, was afraid you might ask that
'3 days ago' does "set the time" as you say. '1 week ago' might work, but the man pages are not particularly helpful on what works and what doesn't. The find man page refers you to the cvs man page, which says:
However, cvs currently accepts a wide variety of other date formats. They are intentionally not documented here in any detail, and future versions of cvs might not accept all of them.But that gives an example of "1 hour ago" being valid, so I tried a few variations
wacking whole directories scares me... especially since there are live directories in here that I think shouldn't be deleted... can I take this part out?Yes, you can leave out the complete second "find" command if you wish. But applications shouldn't leave files or folders lying around in /tmp or /var/tmp and expect them to still be there when they come back!
excuse my ignorance what language is this?This is the Bourne Shell or more accurately bash. You can try reading the man page, but if you're interested I think you'd find an introductory shell scripting book a lot more readable!
My weekly hasn't run since Nov 18th but the Monthy and daily both say Dec 1st!!!No problem. My weekly hasn't run since Nov 15th. It will eventually get run, after about a week of cpu time (not sleeping).
Now that the periodic scripts are managed by launchd, rather than cron, they do eventually get run. Unless you are running a busy server with hundreds of users, rotating the log files is no big deal with today's typical disk sizes.

XI Scenario RFC to RFC ?

Hi,
   We are having a XI scenario where in we have to get some information from SAP SCM System get the Rate & distance from the R/3 Saystem & update back in the SCM system.
For this we have written a Program in SCM system which will send data to XI with the help of SENDER RFC.
IN R/3 System also we have written an RFC which will get the Rate & distance & send Back this information to XI with SENDER RFC.
This Sender RFC is again MAPPED in XI with Receiver RFC of SCM which will update the SCM system back.
We have also created the RFC destination for both the systems.
When-ever we are scheduling the Program from SCM in XI we are getting following errors.
Error in processing caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
What could be the reason for this ?
Secondly we have not defined any INBOUND / OUTOUND Interface since we are using RFC. ( is the design Correct ?)
& we want this interface to be run as Asynchronous scenario.
Pl. help......
Regards,
Umesh

Dear Srini,
        we have chaecked this it is all correct. we have tested the MAP in Single Test. It is working fine. we feel that it is not coming till mapping. it is getting rejected at Adapter Engine itself. (Pl. correct me if i am wrong).
       Secondly is my design is correct. ( no INBOUND / OUTOUND ). & how can i say this is Asynchronous scenario.

/var/tmp not getting cleaned out...

This might not exactly apply to the Finder, Dock or Dashboard but it is file maintenance, and I don't see a closer match.
I've noticed that my /var/tmp directory has a lot of files that are pretty old. There's 3 directories there that seem to be written to daily...those I wouldn't touch... But there's a whole bunch of files that are named things like: 4568943754a6d... around 56M worth each is ~1.5M
Why are these not getting automatically cleaned up? Is there a limit to this directory that could be causing me issues. I have several but I don't dare mention them here for fear of being told to open a new post
Thanks!

Convert Excel to XML file

Hi Guys,
I need to generate the XML from Excel file. The XML file will have the definition like this:
<people_list>
<name>Fred Bloggs</name>
<birthdate>27/11/2008</birthdate>
<gender>Male</gender>
</people_list>
The Excel file will look like this:
A B C
1 Fred Bloggs 10/21/2008 Male
2 ABC 12/23/2008 Female
3 XYZ 07/16/2008 Male
All the values in name,birthdaye,gender will come from the Excel file. I am having 100 rows in the Excel file with the data and I want to parse this excel file and create the XML file with the above template.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
there are tons of ways to do what you need. It all depends on how your workflow is organized and how complicated it may become.
Alternative 1:
Export your Excel file as a cvs and convert cvs to XML (which shouldn't be so hard).
Pro: Relative easy transformation.
Con: Every time you want to convert the Excel file to XML you first needs to export it out of Excel by a manual step.
Alternative 2:
Save you Excel file as XML (e. g. the new *.xslx documents) and transform it as you like.
Pro: Very clean way to do this. You can access the single source Excel file directly from Java. No further steps needed.
Con: It's very very hard to program because the Excel xml structure is ridiculously complex.
Alternative 3:
You can create a little Excel VBA Script which generates the XML File.
Pro: Easy programing.
Con: Needs some experience in Visual Basic 6 programming.
Alternative 4:
Use http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/ or any other Excel-API to Access the Excel application out of Java.
Pro: Clean way to do it. You need no further manual actions to prepare something. (maybe the most flexible and at the same time easyest way)
Con: Additional license.
