Diff(s) between variables of type "Element" and "MessageType"?

When I create a variable (global or scope) then I can choose between the type "Element"
and "MessageType". What are the differences ?
Ok, I read that MessageType are intended for external PL calls. But what means that
in detail?
Do MessageType based variables contain additional (hidden) header information?
On the other hand when I specify an Element-based variable as inputVariable for
a Invoke to a JMS adapter then this variable is accepted. Shouldn't BPEL complain
that it expects a MessageType based variable?
Furthermore it seems to me that "MessageType"s can NOT contain attributes like "myid"
in the following sample instance:
<person id="263748">
<name>Karl</name>
<address>unknown</address>
</person>
"Element" based variables on the other hand are able to carry attributes.
Is this true for all scenarios?

Hi Peter,
As of my knowledge...
we can define element type in 2 ways.
1)We need to define elements in our BpelProcessXSD(For this BpelProcess should not be an empty process)
2)We can import the schema using import and then go to BpelProcess.wsdl (while creating variable) and you can find the imported schema in inline schemas and select yours
And now .... for message types
you need to import required schema and create a message type in your BpelProcess.wsdl
and while creating your variable goto project wsdl files and select the message type you have created.

Newbie how to define variable of type element?

JDEV 10.1.3.1
When I perform the following from BPEL designer in JDEV...
variable new
create variable
Select element type
Select a local file schema xsd
Select element of choice
Seems to define OK but fails to compile. Namespaces appear to include the namespace defined in the xsd.
When I define variables of type message and browse to the appropriate wsdl and pick a message from there this seems to work / compile just fine.
I am sure that since I am just getting started that this is a common error, please assist and thanks. Must all variables be defined as message types and reside in a WSDL?
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
I'm not sure whether it is possible to import a schema into a process directly. What I usually do is to import it into the wsdl-file describing the process interface. This is the file you use to define the client-partnerlink. If your schema is imported correctly, you can access the type-definition via the partner-links-node in the type chooser (this works at least in JDEV 10.1.3.3 and 10.1.3.4).
To import your schema into the wsdl, you need to go to the structure-view in wsdl-editor and after a right-click on the types-node select "insert types". Inside types you insert XML-Schema, inside schema you need to insert an import-tag. The properties for this tag are the file-location and the target namespace used in the schema. The resulting XML-structure should look like this:
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/" xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" name="Order_Processing_SystemPLT" targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment">
<wsdl:types>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import schemaLocation="Order_Booking___Shipment.xsd"
namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment"/>
</schema>
</wsdl:types>
</wsdl:definitions>

What's the difference between batch class type 022 and 023?

Hi Guys,
I find that some of my SAP client only have class 022 and some have 023, but no client has them all. I don't know why it happed.
So what's the difference between batch class type 022 and 023? Which setting decide which class to be used ?
Thanks.

Hi nitin,
Read http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=212819&highlight=022 you will know the difference between 022 and 023 .
Use tcode OMCT you can switch batch level .

The difference between batch class type 022 and 023

what's difference between batch class type 022 and 023? 023 is described as standard batch class type, but there is only 022 type exists in my system. can i use 022?

Hi,
both classes mean the same, but which class is used is decieded by batch level. In case of material level or client level the system use automatically only class 023. If you define batch level to plant the system use automatically class 022.

Authorization check without using variable of type u0093Authorizationu0094

In WEB-reporting we want to authorize on a navigational attribute without using the variable of type
Authorization. Why would we do this?
1. In a lot of queries we have to replace the existing variable of type User entry to a variable of type Authorization. We would like to avoid this work.
2. When the variable is not ready for input the Report will always include all the characteristic values for which the user is authorized. We dons want this.
3. When the variable is ready for input on the selection screen all the authorized values are displayed and the user is able to select / deselect the values he/she wants to report. In case of a lot of authorized characteristic values the screen does not appear user-friendly.
What we want is a behavior like some parts of R/3. For example: Controlling Area X consists of the Costcenters C1000, C2000, C3000, C4000, C5000 and C6000. A particular user has authorization for Cost centers C1000, C3000 and C5000. When running a ABAP-report with Cosctcenters the user is able to select certain Costcenters. Three possibilities:
1. The user selects Costcenter C1000, C3000 and / or C5000: the ABAP reports the selected Costcenters.
2. The user selects Costcenter C2000, C4000 and / or C6000: the ABAP gives an error-message: no authorization.
3. The user does not select any Costcenters: the ABAP reads all the Costcenters and reports on the basis of the users authorization only Costcenters C1000, C3000 and C5000.
In term of BW: we would like to introduce authorizations for a specific InfoObject which is used as an navigational of an other InfoObject. In the queries a variable is used of the type User entry. The user can select one or more values on the selection screen; an authorization check is fulfilled. He may however choose to leave the selection field empty; in this case the OLAP processor should report only the authorized values (in our case the last situation results directly in an error-message no authorization).
Anyone has a suggestion?
Thx in advance,
Henk

If you change the variable to type exit, and user input enabled, you can then build your logic in the user exit.
If users have entered unauthorised values, it will be checked (by the system??). If this assumption is correct then all you need to do in your exit is to continue with the values entered by the user; and in case user has entered no values, populate the variable with values valid for the user (by reading the user authorization and corresponding charactertistics values and moving these to the variable).
--> Adding further
Since the authorization will not be checked by the system (I missed that these are not of authorization type variables), user exit will need to do this check. The logic for doing authorization checks / error messages / restricting based on authorizations - will have to be done in the user-exit.

Table type mulit and auxiliary

difference between a table type auxiliary and table type multi ? where exactly we are using this ? can give some simple example plsT

auxiliary is used for one to one mapping where as multi can be used to create one to many and many to many mapping.
1) We use auxiliary when we want add single valued column,
eg. we need to add 'reward' property to profile and this field can have only one value.
In userProfile xml at appropriate item-descriptor level we create a table with type auxiliary and add reward property.so forach each profile, we will get reward option.
2) For One to Many mapping: We use multi, when want to add a multi valued(collection: set,map,list,array) column.
eg. we need to add secondary billing address to profile and this field can have more than one addresses.
In userProfile xml at appropriate item-descriptor level we create a table with type multi and add secondary billing address property as (collection:set,map,list,array)
.so forach each profile, we will get secondary billing address option, which can store more than one address.
3) For Many to Many mapping: We treat it as two one to many mapping.

BPS Variables of Type Exit (How To Document)

Hello,
I'm trying to restrict entries for (say) variable #2, based on the selection of variable #1.
I've just realised characteristic relationships cannot be used and need to use a user exit. I've gone through the "How To" on BPS Variables of Type Exit and have gotten the function modules to working properly.
However when the function module attempts to pass the data to BPS Variable #2, BPS gives an ERROR saying that in order to write new values into variable #2, the variable must have a replacement path "USER DEFINED VALUES".
However this is not possible as the replacement path must be set to "USER EXIT" so the function module can be activated.
The only way around this is to tell the function module which BPS Variable it should choose to write the data to, if so does anyone the ABAP to store values into a BPS Variable.
Right now would appreciate any comment on this.
Kind regards,
Marinos

Hi Marc,
Yes, the How To paper answers my problem, and when I run the program via se37 the correct variable selections are being populated in table ETO_CHARSEL. However when values are passed to the BPS Variable, the first information message read "The Conditions were Adapted" but no values are passed to the variable. Then a second error message "Entry not possible, var does not have replacement type user-spec vals." This seems to be a conundrum as the variable needs to be set as user-exit.
Any thoughts?
Marinos

What Type Discs - and System DVD Backup Problems

I am very new to Macs and like many others here, I am a convert, after 18 years of using both MS-DOS and Windows based machines.
What a difference this iMac is, very impressive, but I am slightly miffed I missed out on the Intel Mac by a few days (literally).
Anyhow I have a few questions I am hoping you might be able to assist me with:
1. I do not know what the difference is between single layer type discs and any other type.
2. I do not know the difference between DVD–R and DVD+R type discs and which I might choose for what application. (I know the RW types are for reading and writing to repeatedly)
3. How do I do a “Multi-session” to a CD+RW or DVD-RW Disc? I have quite a few of these from my PC days and when I used one on my G5 I used the ‘Burn’ option in Finder to add a few small files. Unfortunately after I burned the files to the disc, I found I could not add any more later. In Windows, I could use these types of discs by just dragging files on and off no matter how many times I wanted.
4. My biggest problem is backing up the two Apple system discs that came with my iMac G5 20” (iSight).
I have purchased some Apple branded DVD-R discs which are 4.7 GB in capacity, but the Apple System (Install) disc 1 is 5.59GB in size (according to Get Info).
I have tried using the DiskUtility program to make an image using the DVD/CD Master option. This will make the Disc Image but of course when it comes to writing it to the blank DVD disc it states that the disc image is too big for the supplied media (the 4.7GB DVD).
Does anyone here know how I can back this disc up please, because I am worried that it will become damaged or scratched over time, no matter how careful I am with it?
All help and advice appreciated.
Drusus

Welcome to the fold!
You ask some good questions and ones that a lot of people do not know the answers to since they have just never run into the technology.
A single or double layer DVD is just like it sounds. One can write one layer of data on a disk (about 4.7GB) and the other can actually write on two layers one the same side of the disk for a total of about 8.5GB of data.
The difference between the -R and +R disks is not as crucial as it was when DVD recording technology was in its infancy. When the tech was being developed, home DVD player manufaturers chose the -R format while computers went with the +R format. Nowadays, most DVD players and computers will read and write both types of disks, but if you are making a DVD movie for grandma for whom you bought a DVD player 5 years ago, you will want to use the -R disks as her player will most likely not read the +R disks.
There is no way to burn a true multisession DVD in Mac OS X. Sorry. You can follow Ken Stone's process for burning a multisession CD though.
I suppose if you buy dual-layer DVDs, you can make that image of the install DVDs, but since I have used them exactly once in the last 2 years, I am not worried about them becoming damaged.

Could anyone tell what's diff between mvt type 301 and 647?

Hi,
Since there has 301 already why still need 647??
What's the difference???
Thanks!!!
Would be better tell some detail regarding the movement type useage and difference in different module...
Thank you very much

Hi,
Movement type 301 is used to transfer material from a storage location in one plant to a storage location in a different plant. The value of the material is transferred at the moving average price of the issuing plant.
Movement 301 needs to be used each time material is moved from plant to plant. Normally both plants would be within the same agency and the physical distance not great when this movement type is used.
A goods issue for a stock transport order with delivery in Shipping is posted using movement types 641, 643, 645, or 647.
647 Goods issue for a stock transport order in one step
(Shipping)
Unlike movement type 641 when a goods issue is posted using movement type 647, a goods receipt line (movement type 101) is generated automatically in the receiving plant. If a purchase order item is flagged as a returns item in the stock transport order, you can post the goods receipt of the returns in the issuing plant with movement type 677.

Getting error while creating the variable of Schema Element type

Hi everybody,
For creating a variable of schema element type I am doing the following steps...
Select 'Variables' after right clicking on bpel process. IN this window, go to 'Create VAriable' then select 'Element' type. Now in Type Choose, I expanded the my imported schema files. And selected a element type, then click ok to create this variable... I am getting the message...
IN ORDER TO SAVE IMPORTED WSDL/SCHEMA FILES, YOU MUST HAVE A PARTNER LINK LOCATED UNDER THE CURRENT PROJECT DIRECTORY.
What is mean by that.
I have imported the schema files in project. AFter that I have imported them into the WSDL also. Now why I am getting error while creating the variable. However I can create variable directly in .BPEL file then everything is fine. And it is working also. But what is mean with the above error? Why I am not able to create variable through GUI?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have this same problem this morning, and I was going crazy, until I found this webpage on the internet:
[http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process|http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process]
The idea is that the jdeveloper is not very good working with directories with spaces on the directory name. If you move all your work to a directory without spaces, it will work smoothly. At least, it had worked for me.

What is the difference between variable and Define

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
these different declarations when it is done using the keyword "variable" and "define"
and both of these are done OUTSIDE "DECLARE"
VARIABLE g_monthly_sal NUMBER
DEFINE p_annual_sal =5000
-- I understand that p_annual_sal will be taken as a CHAR.
-- ALSO IF DEFINE variable acts as macro variable, SO is it necessary to give it some value whenever we define it.
if not what value would be substituted for it?
OR does that mean whenever we want to specify data type for a bind varible we should use VARIABLE and
when we do not want to specify type we use DEFINE?
THANK YOU

Both are SQL*plus commands. In a real programming environment you will not use such constructs (except a few rare scripting cases).
The difference is how the construct is later used. DEFINE is more like a copy&paste string. Whereever the name of this substitution variable is found it will be pasted into the sql*plus session.
VARIABLE creates a real variable. You can change the value and if follwos the usual principles of variables (including binding).
Example can be found the docs:
from the docs
Where and How to Use Substitution Variables
You can use substitution variables anywhere in SQL and SQL*Plus commands, except as the first word entered. When SQL*Plus encounters an undefined substitution variable in a command, SQL*Plus prompts you for the value.
You can enter any string at the prompt, even one containing blanks and punctuation. If the SQL command containing the reference should have quote marks around the variable and you do not include them there, the user must include the quotes when prompted.
SQL*Plus reads your response from the keyboard, even if you have redirected terminal input or output to a file. If a terminal is not available (if, for example, you run the script in batch mode), SQL*Plus uses the redirected file.
After you enter a value at the prompt, SQL*Plus lists the line containing the substitution variable twice: once before substituting the value you enter and once after substitution. You can suppress this listing by setting the SET command variable VERIFY to OFF.
Using Bind Variables
Bind variables are variables you create in SQL*Plus and then reference in PL/SQL or SQL. If you create a bind variable in SQL*Plus, you can use the variable as you would a declared variable in your PL/SQL subprogram and then access the variable from SQL*Plus. You can use bind variables for such things as storing return codes or debugging your PL/SQL subprograms.
Because bind variables are recognized by SQL*Plus, you can display their values in SQL*Plus or reference them in PL/SQL subprograms that you run in SQL*Plus.
Creating Bind Variables
You create bind variables in SQL*Plus with the VARIABLE command. For example
VARIABLE ret_val NUMBER
This command creates a bind variable named ret_val with a datatype of NUMBER. See the VARIABLE command for more information. (To list all bind variables created in a session, type VARIABLE without any arguments.)
Referencing Bind Variables
You reference bind variables in PL/SQL by typing a colon (:) followed immediately by the name of the variable. For example
:ret_val := 1;
To change this bind variable in SQL*Plus, you must enter a PL/SQL block. For example:
BEGIN
:ret_val:=4;
END;

Difference between Posting Type 4 and 7 in EBS

Hi,
A basic question in EBS. While configuring EBS Posting Rule I find the Posting Type 4 and 7. I want to know what is the difference between them.
My Senerio is that I want to upload the EBS for Outgoing Payment and also want to Clear the GL account. The Process is first the Invoice is raised to the Vendor and then F110 is used to pay the vendor and then EBS is run to clear the Bank Clearing Account and update the Main Bank Balance.
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I need one clarification on your point "the system determined the posting key for clearing from the clearing configuration."
Our initial entry in the current situation is as follows:
Expenses A/c .... Dr.
   Vendor A/c .....Cr.
Through F110 we make the payment to vendor and vendor open line item gets cleared.
Vendor A/c ...... Dr
   Bank Outgoing Clearing A/c..... Cr
When uploading Bank Statement the following entry is passed:
Bank Outgoing Clearing A/c ... Dr
   Main an A/c ...... Cr
Since the bank clearing account remains open and does not get cleared in the above entries, can it be cleared through automatic Bank reconciliation?
If yes then what will be the EBS configuration for the same. Or we need to clear the Bank Clearing open items by F.13 T_Code.
Thanks and regards
