Developing a custom retractor

Hello,
Would appreciate if someone could share their experience developing custom retractor programs for taking data from BPS into application areas in R/3 currently not delivered by SAP
Shall just share as to what I want to achieve. I have some data entered in BPS which would relevant to purchase order and further accounting documents in R/3
I would first get through with my BPS exercise, using my exit function I would want to trigger an retractor which would pull the relevant data and create purchase orders in SAP R/3 and post the data
Would appreciate inputs on this
Thanks for your time
Regards
Ramesh

Hello,
Thanks for your response. I shall clarify on the business scenario
The scenario is related to the spots that are planned for advt. It involves the following stages:
In the first stage the spots for the various brands, captions and the spot frequency is being planned
This plan would be discussed with the media agency- This version can be treated as the PLAN
In the second stage this plan would be executed and at the end of every month the media agency would be giving details of the spots telecasted. This can be treated as ACTUALs
Now there are various parameters that are captured in the both the stages that by using manual planning functionality in BPS, I could provide rich reporting to my business user
The concern is there is a hand-shake which is still required with R/3 in the end where based on the actuals the expenses needs to be booked
The crude option would be tell the user to refer the reports from BPS and book the expenses manually
I wanted to evaluate the option where the relevant 'ACTUALS' data from BPS could be read and brought into R/3
This explains why I was looking at an option of any retractor which can be built for the same
BPS would have an emphasis on planning but today with BPS we are trying to address activities beyond just planning which are getting locked in worksheets
Thanks for your time

Implementation of Custom Retractor in Cost Center Planning

Hi All,
I am facing a problem regarding Implementation of Custom Retractor.
In our Project TM1 Server which is presently existing is to be replaced by BI server for Cost Center Planning.
The value needs to be retracted back to the R/3 server for poplutaing the Source Table fields.
Now our Business requirement is best suited by implementing a Custom Retractor which would fetch the data from
BI back to R/3 Server.I have some queries regarding this implementation.
1> The Data load Function Module & Post Data Load Function Module which is implemented for Data loadinf into R/3 server
is written in which server (BI / R3)? If its written in R3 as the case seems them how the BI table type needs to be declared in the
function module?
2> What the Function Module is returning ..is it directly updating the DB table or returning a structure?
Our project is still in the Realisation Phase....So no development has began yet....
Eagerly waiting for your response.
Thanks a lot..

Hi Uryikin,
Thanks for your response.
Standard Retractor does not satisfy the Business requirement in full.
The RFC connection you have suggested is what we are implementing through RSPLAN function Type creation.
In the RSPLAN we are implementing a Class which will fetch the Data from the Infoobject.
This infoobject will be fed from the target Infocube. After this Class getting populated Mapping will be done b/w BI source fields and the R/3 source fields.
Now the problem arise when a Function Module needs to be created that will actually bring the data to R/3 side.
The server where Data Load function Module is to written is still unknown to me..
The Function Module Return type is also unknown...
As this is totally customised we have to identify the return type for submission of Blueprint...
Kindly refer to this link we are implementing this same steps only on different scenario...

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 can i develop a custom Printer driver in LabVIEW

I have one application in which when ever user prints a document (He will print only certain type of documents)
it should get printed using some standard printer but at the same time the data should get communicated to our own custom device which is connected to the PC using serial port.
how can i do this.
I think if we can develop a our own driver which will first send data to serial device and then just call the standard printers driver then whole problem can be resolved
The application will run on windows platform and the data i am expecting is purely a text data.

I think i have not explained my problem properly. i am sorry for that.
the problem is something like this.
my end user is already having one program which is generating the data (Unfortunately that program do not save data to any file and our requirement is online updatation of data) which i want to give to my serial device. he dont have the source code hence we can not alter that perticular code. the data might be available to us only when he prints the data, where we can select any one of installled printers.
hence we want to develop an application which will appear as printer driver to windows and when user prints we can capture printed data
i think problem will be clear now.

Development of custom IDOC's

Hi All,
Can we go for approach of developing custom IDOC's? where in our scenarios are getting files from thrid party and updating data in file into ECC.
Approach towards Custom IDOC's is for error monitoring and recprocessing.
Would request your inputs and suggesions in this regard.
Is that good approach for going to custom idocs? if not why?
Thanks,
chandra.

Hi,
SAP R/3 systems send out data through IDoc (Intermediate Document), which in internally has segments and fields containing the data. But sometimes, these fields are not sufficient for a specific end-to-end business scenario as far as data transfer is concerned. So in such scenario, either few fields are to be added or subtracted, or completely new structure- IDoc needs to be created.
At times because of the business scenario we do have to create Custom idocs .

Develop the custom report on payload

Hi
I want to develop a report on the basis of payload in XI for eg i send some sales order ,
then sales order no ,time of sending ,receiving at the other end , success etc
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
The custom report that you develop will only be able to provide information that is accessible in the Integration Engine. i.e. say there is a message which has passed through IE but failed in the adapter, then as your program will extract the details from IE, you will get a success in the report where as it is actually failed in the AE. Hence i am not sure if there is a way to get the details that you want. However you can get the duration of execution and other details from Performance monitoring in XI. Not sure if this helps but i would suggest you have a look at that and check if it helps in anyway.
reward if helpful,
Sarath.

Sharepoint 2013 performance is very slow not able develop the custom solution.

hi this is goutham i am facing performance issues and version issue when i develop webparts and visual studio workflow on SharePoint 2013, even if i change the code also some times the output showing previous code output and i am not able to debug
the solution.
My system having very high configuration i7 processor and 16 GB Ram.
can you please give any solution for my problem.

Hi Goutham,
You have not given enough information about your issue and environment, so it is bit tough to suggest you a solution.
here are few things you can try out -
1. See how much free memory you have in your server
2. If your SQL server installation in on the same server, then allocate some % of memory to it, that is set an upper limit of memory usage to SQL Server
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178067.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321363/en-us
3. Use developer dashboard to see why your code has performance issue
http://blah.winsmarts.com/2012-7-SharePoint_2013_Developer_dashboard.aspx
4. Use Fiddler to check the application call to your server
http://www.telerik.com/fiddler
5. Check whether there is memory leak and dispose objects whenever required
6. If you have your environment setup for development, then stop services that you are not using, this would free up some resources
7. use ULS log viewer to analyze SharePoint logs
You might be seeing the same code(assumption of your code after deployment), that may be because you may have not published your app to SP server or your code was not saved by VS.
Hope this helps!

Driver development for custom PCI card

Hi friends,
I've a PCI card developed in-house. How to prepare a driver for the same in LabVIEW? Can I develop drivers in VISA? I don't have a manufacture id. Is there any other method to develop a driver for PCI card? Once developed, can I use them for other platforms like VC++? My OS is Windows 9X/NT & 2000. I need a driver to use for all these. Lot of querries! hope I made it clear.

THE ANSWER IS THAT YES YOU CAN DO THIS IN NI-VISA!
Some have said that you need a kernel driver. This is partially true in that a PXI or PCI card (they are the same as viewed by the OS) must have a kernel driver. NI-VISA provides one for you.
You said that you do not have a manufacturer ID. This is a requirement of all PCI cards and no kind of driver will work until the card has one. Once you have this ID, run the VISA PXI Driver Development Wizard and it will generate an INF for you for all supported NI-VISA environments that support PXI/PCI. Read the instructions in the appropriate INF file for how to install it into the system so that the OS will attach NI-VISA to your device. It's really simple. NI-VISA supports PXI/PCI on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT
4, 2000, XP, and LabVIEW RT.
Some have said that MAX will just show you all PXI/PCI devices in your system. Your device will not show up until NI-VISA can see it, and that won't happen until you generate an INF as described above.
Since the INF file associates NI-VISA itself to your card, the ADE you use does not matter. NI-VISA supports PXI/PCI in LabVIEW, CVI, MSVC, Visual Basic, or any other ADE that normally works with VISA.
NI-VISA works well even with more advanced devices because we support all types of register accesses (config, I/O, memory) as well as interrupt handling. Just look at the visa.h that NI ships in the VXIpnp directory. If you are using C/C++, make sure you define NIVISA_PXI before including visa.h. If you use LabVIEW, you need to use the address space numbers as defined in visa.h.
Good luck.

API Developer Needed - Custom Shipping System (AUS)

Hi everyone,
We've got a client who needs to set individual shipping prices for Australian postcodes, and we'd love to be able to offer this inside the BC system.
It also needs to be able to accommodate volume changes, eg:
Qty 1-3 = parcel = shipping cost per parcel
Qty 4 and above = pallet = shipping cost per pallet
We're ideally looking for an API developer in Melbourne or Australia, however we're open to working with you if you're in NZ.
If you have any ideas of how to make this work within the current system I'm all ears, otherwise Private Message me if you're interested and able!
Thanks,
Ben (at fauvdesign)

Hi Ben.
Problem is there is no current BC API for shipping and final price manipulation in this regard so there is no way of integrating that into it in that way.

VBAI Development Toolkit, Custom Plugin: How to get TCP data / connection ID configured in VBAI Communication Manager?

Hello,
I would like to create a custom plugin using the VBAI Dev. Toolkit. I'm using VBAI 2010 with LabView 2010.
In this step I would like to send a TCP message over a TCP connection defined in VBAI Communication Manager. How can I get the open Connection ID? Or do I have to open the connection in the Plugin? In this case, how to get the defined TCP data from the Communication Manager?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Yellow

Yes you could. You can even create a simple VBAI inspection that uses the TCP step and then migrate it to LabVIEW to see how VBAI opens the connection and uses it in the TCP step. It may be more involved if you want to allow the user to configure all the TCP settings (IP Address/port) and have all your custom steps use the same settings (maybe save them to an INI and have all steps use the same INI to get the settings).
Hope this helps,
Brad

Developing a custom AuthenticationProvider without idstore or credentials

From the thread: How to integrate a SSO based in cookie with ADF Security
==========================================================
At work they asked me to integrate a existing SSO based in cookie with the new ADF + Jdeveloper 11g + WLS. After google for days and read a lot of blogs and official documentation I've made a custom LoginModule. I made it very simple, it's just an "if" inside the login() function with the username, if the username is "john" I put to the Subject some Principals. My steps are:
1- Create a new app based on "Fusion application" template.
2- Make a new ADF Taskflow with only one view inside (the entry point of the taskflow). The jspx only contains a welcome message.
3- Run the ADF Security wizard, all the steps with the default option, I don't change anything.
4- Put some users and some roles in jazn-data.xml, and maping them to an application role. Then I grant permissions to the application role to view the previous task flow.
At this point everything is ok. I run the taskflow and a basic login popup prompts me to write my username and password. Now I try to remove everything useless for me, like idstore, credentials, anonymous, etc. I only want a LoginModule that get the HttpRequest and passes it to an already done class that returns a true/false depending if the cookie is correct or not but, as I said before, my LoginModule is so simple now and even didn't try to do something more complicated than an if. The steps I try are:
in jps-config.xml
5- Remove idstore.xml and credentials.
6- (loginmodule tab) Make a new login module, and put here my class. The class is in the ViewController project and JDeveloper find it navigating through the heriarchy, so I have visibility. I put REQUIRE flag, add all roles and debug mode.
7- In the security context unmark the idstore.loginmodule and mark myLoginModule. Also delete the anonymous security context.
All that I got until now is a 500 error (Internal server error - Authorization Exception). Sometimes (the close i've ever been to do something correct) the browser ask me for user/password but then only recognizes the users that already are in WLS (idstore from previous tests), but NOT the "john" user that is inside my custom LoginModule. Even more, if I run the WLS from JDeveloper 11g in debug mode, the runtime never stops at breakpoints inside my custom login module. It seems that my LoginModule isn't deployed or I made some error maping the roles.
So, my questions are:
- I'm in the good way? If I want an authentication based in cookie/httprequest I have to do a custom LoginModule? My goal is to do a re-usable code, and re-use the code that my co-workers have done. They have a class that with only the HttpRequest determines if a user is logged or not.
- If I'm in the good way... how can I put my custom LoginModule in the WLS? I tried to search something in the Administration Panel (localhost:7101/console) but I did'nt find nothing.
- In case I'd got the custom LoginModule working fine in WLS... how can I get a HttpRequest from a LoginModule and avoid the username/password dialog? I've to make a filter and pass it to the my LoginModule? If it's correct... how?
I don't post my code because is so simple, it's based on DBTableLoginModule but without all the database access code.
Thanks to all!
P.D.: If this message isn't in the correct forum, I'm sorry. Feel free to move it.
P.D.2: Sorry about my english, I'm spanish. I know i've to practise a lot :)
===========================================================
After a week working in the problem I didn't solved it. I managed to write an AuthenticationProvider, a LoginModule and a Principal classes and I've put them into WLS, so "myAuthenticator" shows in the combo box ready to be used. But it doesn't work :( The server always shows me an exception (the last one tells me my class isn't a valid JAAS authenticator, but the MBean maker didn't complain). Is there any way to implement an Authenticator that doesn't use any credentials, idstore or callbacks? For example, can I implement an AuthenticatorProvider that grants me Principals only based in the hour of the day, or based in a boolean returned from a custom class, without any interaction with the user? It's really a must to have the user in the weblogic embedded LDAP or can I read the username from a cookie like in my case? Any advice will be very helpful, or some code would be awesome.
Another question related: Why the ADF Security wizard doesn't deploy well with the embedded WLS? The wizard lets me create a custom LoginModule and add it with the "+" button, but it simply doesn't deploy. Will be fixed in future releases or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks to all.
Riveck.

So, since the ADF application is just using WLS Authentication, you're on the right path with the Authentication Provider.
What you need though, is an IdentityAsserter. The identity asserter tells the container you want to authenticate, but you don't have a password, you have a token...in your case some HTTP Header foo=john.
The good news is that there is already an identity asserter that you can use to start with...the SimpleSampleIdentityAsserter.
[https://codesamples.samplecode.oracle.com/servlets/tracking?id=S224]
This is the link to the samples.
I think what you want to do, is configure your LoginModule to be called when the IdentityAsserter gets called...this can be done in the getAssertionModuleConfiguration() method. Return an AppConfigurationEntry that references your login module.
Once you've got your identity asserter configured, what should happen is that when you access a protected page in ADF, JEE security will get triggered and the IdentityAsserter should get called, if you configure the login-method in web.xml to CLIENT_CERT.

How to develope a customized console window in eclipse..

Hi,
Eventhough this forum not related to eclipse.....
i hope some body will give their suggestions in the following issue.
Actually i am developing a plugin which reads the batch file to compile the java files and if any errors occurs then by default it will display on the console.
For executing batch file i am using Runtime.exec(...).. it will work fine but it opens a new window to run the file. if any errors occurs then it should show in the console view of eclipse not in the command line...
could any body suggest on this????
Thanks in advance.
KCS

I don't think you can if your java class is an application and not an applet. You could convert it to an applet and use appletviewer.exe to display it although this may incur security exceptions and the like. If you create a shortcut to your run.bat file you can right click and select it properties so that it starts minimized, not showing the dos box onscreen although it will still be there minimized.
