Developing portlet applocations. (Question after IBM experience)

1. Is there another way to deploy PAR (not in SAP NDS) ?
2. Which UI framework/taglibs is the best for portlets (HTMLB, WebDynPRO, html with scriplets and so on)?
For example in IBM I could use only 2 tags in forms
<form action='<portletAPI:createURI><portletAPI:URIAction name="submit" /></portletAPI:createURI>' >
<INPUT name="<portletAPI:encodeNamespace value='name'/>" />
Is there the same taglibs in SAP(If I dont want to use HTMLB or WebDynPro) ? May I use JSF ?
3. If my application has portlets and servlets. Do I need to create 2 projects and 2 archives (.war for servlets .par for portlets)?

HI
In Portal goto
System administartion-support-Portal Runtime -Administartive COnsole-
and there you have an option to deploy par.
Which UI framework/taglibs is the best for portlets (HTMLB, WebDynPRO, html with scriplets and so on)?
--It depends on what type of applications are you developing. Each one has got its own Advantages. If you are giving importance for look and feel it is better to develop in HTMLB or JSP.FOr "why webdynpro" refer the following thread

Developing portlets with Jdev 10.1.3.0 possible?

Hi all,
I'm currently using Jdev 10.1.3.0 and I need to develop a portal (and portlets) using AS Portal 10.1.4.
I tried to install the PDK on jdev 10.1.3.0, but that didn't work well.... do i need to upgrade my jdev version or there's another way to develop portlets for AS Portal 10.1.4 ?
Thanks,
Rui

Hello Rui,
I experience the same problem. PDK is not compatible with JDev 10.1.3. Actually I'm developing with the prevoius release of JDev, 10.1.2.2, with PDK extension and it works fine.
Bye,
Maurizio.

1. In Adding a new char Zreg, the author set it to a CONSTANT as INDIA. What if in my environment, the added characteristic is also ZCOUNTRY but could take on VALUES such as US, Canada, Mexico, will the be the option:
1:1 Mapping with Characteristics? If not, please help.
2. Again, in the demonstration of the u201CAdd key figureu201D in the remodeling of the cube, the author used CONSTANT = 100. Can you help me understand a situation in production where you will have to set a key figure to a constant value? E.g. u201CNet Salesu201D should always be $5000? I may be missing the point in that remodeling.
3. I also noticed that while remodeling CHARACTERISTICS, there was the option u201CCUSTOMER Exitu201D but in the case of KEY FIGURE the option was u201CUSER Exitu201D
Any reason why one is CUSTOMER and the other as USER?
4. There was the emphasis to u201C.. backup database before running remodeling requests..u201D Is it referring to Basis backing up the BW system? Or, is there a way to take a copy of the cube to be remodeled and its data? If it is the second option, any hints on how?
5. I have heard of scary cases during remodeling, is there a way to simulate and approve of the changes before actually implementing it? How?
Also, Are these changes that need to be done in development to be transported to production?

Hi Amanda........
1. In Adding a new char Zreg, the author set it to a CONSTANT as INDIA. What if in my environment, the added characteristic is also ZCOUNTRY but could take on VALUES such as US, Canada, Mexico, will the be the option:
1:1 Mapping with Characteristics? If not, please help.
In this case coding is required............So u hav to go for Customer exit........
If u do 1:1 Mapping with Characteristics..........it will access value as per that Characteristics.....
2. Again, in the demonstration of the u201CAdd key figureu201D in the remodeling of the cube, the author used CONSTANT = 100. Can you help me understand a situation in production where you will have to set a key figure to a constant value? E.g. u201CNet Salesu201D should always be $5000? I may be missing the point in that remodeling.
Suppose price of a product...........it will not change everyday...............that keyfigure hav to set as a constant value...........
3. I also noticed that while remodeling CHARACTERISTICS, there was the option u201CCUSTOMER Exitu201D but in the case of KEY FIGURE the option was u201CUSER Exitu201D
Any reason why one is CUSTOMER and the other as USER?
Look thereis a difference between User exit and Customer exit..........I am not very sure when user exit is required and when customer exit.......
Check this..............
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
4. There was the emphasis to u201C.. backup database before running remodeling requests..u201D Is it referring to Basis backing up the BW system? Or, is there a way to take a copy of the cube to be remodeled and its data? If it is the second option, any hints on how?
if you want to transfer the content of one infocube to another one ...............
a) generated the export datasource for the source infocube...right-click->'generate export datasource
b) create transformation.......(without any filter or calculation, with the mapping 1:1 to all the infoobjects) ................in this way u can 'copy' (with one shot data load, as a full request) all the data.........
5. I have heard of scary cases during remodeling, is there a way to simulate and approve of the changes before actually implementing it? How?
Also, Are these changes that need to be done in development to be transported to production?
Generally u will don't hav changing authorization in PROD.........Look frankly speaking..........I hav never done Remodeling..........but as per the statement .......During remodeling process InfoCube is locked for any changes or data loads so make sure you stall all the data loads for this InfoCube till the time this process finishes..............I think we do remodeling directly in PROD only.........

I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPhone via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPhone to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPhone, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

Coupla questions after updating to Snow Leopard

Hi folks. I just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and boy, do I have some questions!
1. Are there any rules of thumb on reducing the probability that this OS X 10.6.8 will lock up? For example, it seems that if I'm getting the computer out of "sleep" mode or even just using the keyboard or clicking the mouse after a few minutes of inactivity, it locks up if I hit more than one keystroke or click the mouse more than one time before the internal hard drive finishes whizzing. I'm thinking that I need to get into the habit of pressing one keystroke, listening to hear whether the hard drive starts up, and if so, waiting until it settles down before making any more keystrokes or using the mouse. Any other tips?
2. What is the keyboard alternative to using the pulldown menu for force quit? Unlike my experience with Tiger, if the rainbow is spinning, this new OS won't allow me to use the cursor to pull down the apple menu to get to the force quit utility.
3. When my computer's locked up with the spinning rainbow, and the force-quit utility isn't working is there any way to get it to unlock, other than disconnecting it from the power source?
4. How bad is it to disconnect the computer from electrical power when it's locked up but still running?
5. When I was loading the OS, I thought there was a tutorial for Snow Leopard, but I can't figure out how to get back to it. Can you tell me how I get it to run?
6. I own an external HD for backup. Please tell me that Snow Leopard includes a backup utility program, and how to use it.
7. Final question for now--does Lion perform any better than Snow Leopard? Not sure whether updating to Lion would make things better, worse, or no change (other than my wallet).
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
John

Command + option + escape brings up the force quit window. Note that odds are that if you have a spinning cursor you won't be able to use the keyboard either.
3. When my computer's locked up with the spinning rainbow, and the force-quit utility isn't working is there any way to get it to unlock, other than disconnecting it from the power source?
4. How bad is it to disconnect the computer from electrical power when it's locked up but still running?
Pushing on the power button for a bout 5 seconds is basically the moral equivalent of "pulling the plug". If it's the only way "out" then it's the only way out! What's the choice?
6. I own an external HD for backup. Please tell me that Snow Leopard includes a backup utility program, and how to use it.
As above, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
7. Final question for now--does Lion perform any better than Snow Leopard? Not sure whether updating to Lion would make things better, worse, or no change (other than my wallet)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Same for usefulness and "better". In my opinion it is a schizophrenic OS that wants to be the old OSX cross bread with a IPad. Basically dumbed down. It also doesn't run ppc code since there is no Rosetta. IMO stay clear of it. Play with it in the Apple Store to get a taste.
Please, whoever is reading this, lit's not start a religious war here. This is my opinion of Lion (and many others). But if you like Lion fine with me.

Developing portlets for dummies (sql queries)

Hello, I've been trying to build a dynamic menu. First I went with just plain old plsql: i created a function in the portal schema that returns an unordered, nested list of the pages in my pagegroup and called that function in a regular pl/sql item on my portal page. I did this by querying the wwpob_page$ table and that went just great in my test&development setup (of which I am the admin of course :))
Then I realized that since I'm not an administrator of the server hosting our portal and I only have very limited privileges (I am only a page group administrator) I will probably not be allowed to utilize this function nor will they agree to install it in the portal schema, and I decided I should build a portlet that does the same thing (so it can be registered and so on, and so it can use the synonyms and tools that are available to registered providers). There already is such a portlet (and provider) registered for use in the target portal, but I don't like it because i uses tables and hard-coded styles so I will cook my own, better version. :)
So I downloaded an example portlet and am getting the hang of it, but now I just can't for the life of me figure out how to enable any sql-queries. I have run the provsyns-.sql script, logged in as test_provider/portal and installed my portlet-package as test_provider user. I can see the available pl/sql packages in Toad, but there are no tables or views for me to to see. That means I can't query the portal tables that I need to.
edit: ok, stupid user error; I suck at using Toad, so I was looking at the wrong schema altogether :D So now i see the public views and packages, so forget that bit of the question.
But still, I cannot see even wwsbr_all_folders -view, much less the wwpob_page$ -table. I cannot see any way to find the pages that are in my page group. Somehow it must be doable, right?
Have I done something wrong, missed a step in enabling my test-provider / schema perhaps? I don't really know what I'm doing, but I followed instructions here: http://home.c2i.net/toreingolf/oracle/portal/my_first_plsql_portlet.htm (excellent instructions, thanks!)
So should my portlet be able to access those tables or not? How the heck has the third partly portlet maker done it?
i'm on OracleAS Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.4)

i see your perspective now. and let me give a perspective to my first reply too.
what i proposed to you was the answer of what i quoted in the message. that is, why didn't you see those views in the new schema you created! and it is still ok but it is done in the portal schema for which you should have privielges too and i assumed you had. my mistake!
now, i can relate your privacy concerns with your earlier message:

I can see the available pl/sql packages in Toad, but there are no tables or views for me to to see. That means I can't query the portal tables that I need to.+
- by downloading an example portlet, you probably mean you created a new schema. because provsyns work on a schema.
- if you are not the administrator of the portal, and may not be able to access some portions of the portal, it means that you do not use the portal user (the user which serves as the owner of the portal schema).
- now, your plan to create a new schema and give those privielges would still not work. because, by creating a new schema you cannot sneak in to the oriignal portal schema if you do not have privileges to do it. obvious, right? otherwise, it would be a vulnerability of the software that you can see what you are not allowed to see by creating a new schema.
- however, there is a bright side here. the views give records based on your privileges.
- so if your administrators have generated them already or if they generate on the original portal schema, then you may see the pages and items that you have privileges to see and no more.
so now, you may ask the administrators if they have already done it, and if not, then if they would be willing to do it.
hope that helps!

Question after going to TrustedOnly signatures

First thanks to all developers and contributors for the new pacman 4 release and the implementation of package signing.
I tested pacman 4 for weeks before its official release and I used:
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Now I went to:
SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly
I followed the procedure to sign master keys and to change their trust parameter to marginal, as explained in Allan's blog or wiki.
But the developer's and TU's signatures were added in my local keyring database weeks ago, and I thought that they could not yet have been signed by master keys then, when I first added them.
I verified for Tobias Powalowski's signature with:
root -bash-4.2.20:~]# pacman-key --list-sigs 7EDF681F
pub 2048R/7EDF681F 2011-07-18
uid Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
sig 3 7EDF681F 2011-07-18 Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
sub 2048R/5BF91F41 2011-07-18
sig 7EDF681F 2011-07-18 Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
Note the 'sig 3' info which means verified key (but I had not verified the key)
I then run:
pacman-key --refresh-keys 7EDF681F
And:
root -bash-4.2.20:~]# pacman-key --list-sigs 7EDF681F
pub 2048R/7EDF681F 2011-07-18
uid Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
sig 3 7EDF681F 2011-11-20 Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
sig 824B18E8 2011-11-20 Thomas Bächler (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sig 6AC6A4C2 2011-11-20 Pierre Schmitz (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sig 4C7EA887 2011-11-26 Ionut Biru (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sig FFF979E7 2011-12-05 Allan McRae (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
uid Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
sig 3 7EDF681F 2011-07-18 Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
sig 824B18E8 2011-11-20 Thomas Bächler (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sig 6AC6A4C2 2011-11-20 Pierre Schmitz (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sig 4C7EA887 2011-11-26 Ionut Biru (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sig FFF979E7 2011-12-05 Allan McRae (Arch Linux Master Key) <[email protected]>
sub 2048R/5BF91F41 2011-07-18
sig 7EDF681F 2011-07-18 Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
So that confirms what I thought about not uptodate keys allready present in the keyring database.
Then I ran for all the keys:
pacman-key --refresh-keys
My question concerns the 'sig 3' info in the list of the keys.
It was already present before I launched the --refresh-keys update.
Is that correct to have 'sig 3' there for all the keys ?
I am not sure if that is correct because it means 'verified key'.
Do you have that also in the output of 'pacman-key --list-sigs' ?
Thanks for telling me.

After reading more carefully the man pages for gpg, I think that you are right Leonid.I.
The 3 after sig in the list output from 'pacman-key --list-sigs' means that the default cert level, if the owner of the key signs another key with it, will be 3, ie the key about to be signed was fully verified by the one who signs it with his own key.
So the command 'pacman-key --list-sigs' lists all the keys which were used to sign the keys in the keyring database (all the lines which begin by sig after the one with 'sig 3').
And all that leads to the necessity to refresh the keyring database, for keys added some time ago, to get all the signatures of the keys.
--refresh-keys
Request updates from a keyserver for keys that already exist on the local keyring. This is useful for updating a key with the latest signatures, user IDs, etc.
Can someone please confirms all this is correct, before I add that to the wiki? Thanks.

Seeking for advice over software development start-up question

Hi Admin ,
My friend who is an internet marketer at warrior forum told me about Adobe AIR. He said that programs developed on Adobe Air could not be decompiled. I am a forex software developer that created both a trailing stop ea and forex charting software on the Metatrader 4 open source trading platform. My concern is that the software which i developed could be decompiled.
I have a programming team and they have little or few experience with Adobe Air. I was thinking that before i ask them to research and start developing our software on Adobe AIR platform, could you help us but answering some important questions regarding AIR?
Is it true that AIR applications cannot be decompiled?
Forex software in .ex4 format and .dll files be transferred over to AIR format?
Could there be a communication between AIR and Metatrader 4 trading platform ?
For more info, visit these url :
Metatrader 4 : http://www.metatrader4.com/

2. http://www.forextrailer.com/
Regards,
Warren Seah

There is no software that cannot be decompiled and/or reverse engineered. ActionScript is actually one of the easier languages to decompile. There are obfuscators and other protection schemes, but I can't attest to how well they work.
You can write an ActionScript wrapper for dll libraries (in many cases). I don't know what .e4x format is.
An AIR app can communicate with another application or server in a variety of ways. The most common include HTTP and sockets.

ColdFusion and Portal Development (Portlet Toolkit)

I realize the Portlet Toolkit released was just a proof of
concept, but I was wondering if anyone has actually uses it for
ongoing development. I was able to deploy and run the example
Portlets on a IBM Portal v6 instance without any issues (since
IBM's api's are only deprecated), but I can't figure out how the
development process would work.
To deploy the toolkit war you had to use an Ant script to
merge it with the ColdFusion MX 7 war. Given this how would you
ever hot deploy and develop in iterations as you normally do today
with CF development alone? Would you manually deploy an extracted
version of this merged WAR and edit the CFCs on the DEV server
itself? Normal portlet development relies on the RAD tool to hot
deploy changes in the portlet project to the Portal server so you
can code and test with as little interruption as possible.
If editing the cfcs on the DEV server itself is the only way
to develop this seems to make development impractical with CF.
Especially if you can't just map a drive out to the DEV server. I'm
new to Portlet development but can't see a way to resolve this
circumstance. Am I missing something? Any suggestions? Any other
thoughts on the concept in general? We have large number of
in-house CF developers which far exceed the number of Java Portlet
developers and this might be a way to alleviate that problem (at
least in the short run).
-Tim

I've been using the Portlet tool kit for quite a while. I run
websphere test server right on my desk top and I manually deploy my
cfc to there. When the devlopment is done, I place my new cfc in to
cfportlet.war file and update the portlet through WS.

Career after ABAP experience

Hi all
I have 4 years experience as SAP ABAP Technical Consultant.
Currently working with a reputed IT company.
However , in my entire sap experience, I have worked only in support projects without much of learning.
Also, I have realized that I am not very comfortable with programming stuff since I neither got complete expertise nor the interest to work on.
Can anybody suggest me a suitable profile change within SAP but with a different technology/module
that I can take up so that my 4 years experience is utilized and also I get to move in a different technology other than abap?
How about new emerging technologies in SAP - HANA , Cloud , Mobility , UX ?
Any expert suggestions if I can move to SAP audit/GRC stream from here on?

Hi Shalini
Without you going into specifics of what type of ABAP support work you have done it is a bit difficult.
I come from a GRC/Security background and the only thing you have in common with security (and some of the GRC Access Controls) - I hope - would be knowing how to properly restrict your code with authority checks and proper DB calls via function modules/etc.
If you were to move down a GRC/Audit path, unless you have some specific audit qualification you would need to start from the beginning. Depending on the support you did for ABAP you might have a specific function module that you supported and could consider transitioning to that (possibly you employer might let you as well).
Having an ABAP background could extend towards the user interfaces and workflow. HANA is a platform (you can read up more look at free courses by searching SCN, check openSAP.com, etc). If you do not like programming, would you like technical topics? There is HANA development (and a lot of resources if you search) but I doubt you would want to do that if you don't like ABAP.
Cloud is how software is hosted/available to the client. At the end of the day it's about the applications... unless you were in a technical area responsible for the hosting, etc.
My recommendation is to think about your strengths, do a little research and find out what opportunities are within your employer. Support work is not bad (I wrote a blog recently after being fed up that people assume support work means not opportunities). However, if you do not believe you have the experience or interest in ABAP, perhaps your employer sees that too and is therefore, reluctant to provide you with opportunities outside of support (like a project).

Colleen
