Documentation for Developer 6.0

I am searching for some sort of book as a tutorial for using
Report Builder with Developer 6.0. Is there anything published
yet? I found "Learning Oracle Report Builder 3.0: A Tutorial for
Report Designers" and Oracle Designer Generation at the barnes
and noble site. How far off is Report Builder 3.0? I thought
the previous release of Report Builder was 2.1.
Thanks for any insight,
Leslie

Hi Leslie,
Sorry for the lag time in responding. Have you tried looking in
ORACLE_HOME\TOOLS\DOC60\US\RBBR60? I think they changed this on
us at the last minute, so the manual is incorrect. The production
version of 6i should be corrected.

Documentation for developing non-syncML iSync plugins

Hi there,
I'm interested in developing a third-party iSync plugin/conduit for a phone that, for reasons unknown, doesn't support SyncML; I have the graces of its developers in order to do so, and I will shortly be supplied with adequate documentation for the protocol used. However, nowhere on developer.apple.com can I find any pertinent information of how to instigate a different exchange method rather than SyncML. If anyone has any pointers, I'd really appreciate them!

However, nowhere on developer.apple.com can I find any pertinent information of how to instigate a different exchange method rather than SyncML.
There isn't any other exchange methods that iSync can use - it's all SyncML based. SyncML is the industry standard, so if the phone doesn't use it, you'll have to write a proprietary application to sync it, which would work independently of iSync.
Once you've read data off the phone into the proprietary application, you could interface with SyncServices (the Mac OS X framework that handles all system-wide syncing) to get that data into Address Book and iCal.
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
To be honest, supporting proprietary syncing protocols is a dead-end cause and even Apple abandoned it with the release of iSync 2.
Depending on how much you value your time at, it would be many times cheaper just to buy a SyncML enabled phone that would work with iSync from the outset.

Documentation for HTMLDB 2-day developer does not match sample appln

The documentation for the Oracle HTML DB 2-Day Developer no longer matches the sample application and interface provided by Oracle. It used to work several months ago but the online sample workspace and applications appear to have been upgraded.
Where would I get updated documentation?

Hi Janos,
Although things are improving, there is generally no enforcement of the filter rules established in the service metadata - this a deficiency in the Gateway engine in my view. If a metadata document can be thoroughly checked for element types, etc, why can't the same be done for filters and addressability?
If an entity is marked as 'requires filter' but no filter is actually implemented, you can waste a lot of time trying to discover the filter pattern!
The bottom line is, if you are building the service yourself, you put in the logic for filter patterns you have designed. If you are using a published service and there is no documentation available, the only way to determine if a filter is actually supported is to experiment or examine the provider model code.
regards
Ron.

This link has many pdf files but none has the useful information. Those pdf's are just 2 or 3 pages each.Sad Christmas for you then i suppose.
Perhaps you could contact the vendor (quest) and get them to help you in your search for whatever it is you're looking for. An Oracle SQL and PL/SQL forum is not the venue for this, please mark the question as answered, and good luck in your search.

Documentation for PostProcessingPluginHelper

Does documentation for the PostProcessingPluginHelper class exist? I have not been able to find it in the Java SDK docs. I'm trying to determine the arguments to the PostProcessingPluginHelper.createInfoObject(...) method. My objective is to add a dynamically generated Word document to the artifacts to be delivered by the publication.
Thanks!
-m

The question about the documentation still stands, but as far as adding word documents, there is a comparable example in the developer guide.
At the bottom of the "handle" method in the post processing plugin, use the following code to add a word doc:
File addedFile = new File(tmpDir + "\\MyFile.doc");
IWord addedFileInfoObject =
(IWord)PostProcessingPluginHelper.createInfoObject(context, CeProgID.WORD, "application/msword", null, null);
addedFileInfoObject.getFiles().addFile(addedFile);
// return the list of info object artifacts that should be delivered by the publication
IInfoObjects newInfoObjects = context.getInfoStore().newInfoObjectCollection();
newInfoObjects.add(addedFileInfoObject);
return newInfoObjects;

Good References for developing in Landscape Mode?

Just wondering if there's a portion of the Programming guide, or if there are any good sample apps or sites out there with tips and best practices for developing apps with landscape views?
Googling and searching based on "horizontal or landscape view" doesn't seem to narrow it to quite what I"m looking for.
Specifically, I have an tab bar app that is mostly portrait, but I want the user to be able to enter a view that is landscape. (whether by button push, or rotating when in a particular view)...I'm hoping for my landscape view to essentially be independent of the rest of the app (i.e. no tab bar, specific actions, graphics, etc...)
Anyways, just looking for some good starting points for this if there are any recommendations....

Where is the official documentation for Wireless OTA Enterprise App Distribution?

Where is the official documentation for Wireless OTA Enterprise App Distribution? It used to be here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_ App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html
The above link is present in many posts in these forums (cf. More Like This below this question.
The information I seek may also have been here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=answerlink&url=http://manuals.info.apple. com/en_US/Enterprise_Deployment_Guide.pd…
The article in question had official details on
the itms-services:// link,
the app manifest file format and
the general information.
Currently I cannot find anything official on enterprise app distribution - only third party information. Has something changed, or is this a documentation glitch? Surely wireless OTA enterprise app distribution is still available via the enterprise developer program?
Note: We currently use this for one of our enterprise clients. But before recommending other clients to join the enterprise developer program, we would like an official citation on whether this mechanism still exists.

OK, the link in my question is no longer a 404. It's been replaced by a redirect to a new iOS Enterprise Deployment subsite which has been remade for iOS 8.

Network Protocol Documentation for ARD or ANA?

Is anyone aware of any documentation on the network protocols used by ARD? I have plenty of docs on RFB/VNC, but Apple is doing something more with ARD than standard RFB. It looks like they are still making some use of Apple Network Assistant (UDP port 3283) protocol and clearly performing other tasks that aren't part of the RFB standards. Could anyone point to any documentation for this?
I'm trying to develop some utilities that will make working with ARD in a multi-thousand Mac environment a bit more tolerable. I'm not very interested in remote desktop control; this is about asset management and patch management. Once you have more than a couple-thousand Macs in ARD, it seems to slow to a crawl.
For example, we have a very large number of large (21-bit) subnets, and the ARD scanner takes forever to scan them. I've written a small utility that will scan a subnet in seconds, and provide a text file containing only active computers that are Macs. This output loads into ARD much, much faster. I did this after discovering that a UDP packet sent to port 3283 will cause a Mac to respond with its name, ethernet address, etc. I'm trying to figure out what else is in that response packet, and what more I can do. I'd rather have an ARD API that allows me to add/remove computers into ARD (anyone?) but that appears to be the one area that Apple forgot. I'm still new to the Mac world, so I could have missed any number of things. Pointers would be welcome.
Thanks!

Ok, I've figured out why I dropped the AppleScript route. The ARD dictionary command to "add" a computer to a list appears to require a computer descriptor for a machine that is already in ARD. So, doesn't look like it can actually add a computer to ARD via that route.
Regarding import from file:
I've used the scanner to scan IP addresses from a text file that is the output from my utility. While manual, this does work. I then have to "add" the computers to the "All Computer" list manually, specifying the credentials. This has been my process to date. Better than nothing, but very manually intensive. It also appears that the scanner is limited to scanning only the first 4096 addresses from a text file, we have about 20x that number of Macs.
I have not tried writing a plist from my utility and importing directly (bypassing the scanner). I'll give that a shot. Assuming this works, it might take one manual step out of the process. Still not sure if I can automate list import any further.
I'd still like to find some protocol-level documentation so that I can improve the precision of my scanner utility. I'd like to verify my credentials on each system discovered, and verify that the ARD client-upgrade is an authorized task before going to the trouble of adding them into ARD only to find these problems later. So far, a significant percentage of my Macs are still running ARD 2.x and 1.x so the upgrade process is important. On a related note, it doesn't look like the "Upgrade Client" task can be relegated to the local task server. Wonder why...
Thanks again.

Enduser documentation for fi and co

Hi Gurus,
Any body can provide enduser documentation for fi and co i will assign full points to you
[email protected]
Thanks
RAM

hi
What Are SAP End User Manual
It is the same for every other modules although here I reference it mainly for SAP HR.
1) You should understand which targeted group for the end-user training is for. Do they have any computer background or not.
2) In what way they are going to make use of the manuals supplied to them during the course of training.
Let us focus on how to prepare manuals:
In the client side , End Users are not permanent. If they get any better job outside they will resign and go out. Even if you train them well, again the end-user team disappears after some time. That is why implementing company( Client ) expects SAP Consultants to prepare documents which are self explanatory (even to a layman in SAP) and study themselves and use the sap easy access very comfortably.
Hence we should prepare a document which explains the following things comfortably:
A) All the buttons and Screens we have in sap and its importance for an end-user.
B) All the transaction codes used by end user.
C) The STEP by STEP usage methodology with screen shots and explanatory foot notes for each Transaction code.
D) Prepare a book a table and columns which should have the following information:
- Sl.NO.
- Transaction Code
- Navigation path
- Use of the Code
- Expected Result
- Achieved Result
- Remarks/Any Comment
E) Highlight the common troubles during the usage of SAP by an end- user and give the solutions (ready to use)
These problems you can come across while giving the in house training for the end-users. You just place them at one place and publish it for their usage in future for any of their new joinees as an end-user.
F) Every consultant is aware that the entire Organsiational Management is with end user only. Means consultant should train the end user in entire OM.
G) We should inform the importance of info types and usage for our purposes at expert mode, PA30, PA40 etc.,
H) Each field in the international infotypes should be explained very clearly and ensure that they are comfortable with the fields of infotypes which have been configured for their company.
For example : info type 0001 Org Assignment insists about the three structures of the HR. We should explain each sub field like Emp Group, Emp Sub Group, Personnel Area and Sub Area and its importance and relevance to their company so as to understand while processing them from the end- user point of view .
When an employee is hired into the company , now the end-user in a position to understand which employee group and subgroup, Personnel Area And Sub Area etc., should allotted..
Like this whatever comes across in SAP Easy Access should be insisted through the training of end users.
I) Demo, exercises and solutions should be provided in the manuals.
J) Glossary of terms and expansion of Acronyms, Abbreviations should be given. Like this each consultant should focus on end user training and prepare the documents.
What is the Difference between Consultant & End users?
SAP consultant role is to build the system, changes & modification/updation in currently installed SAP system for the end users.
SAP End user only use the SAP system just to fetch some info, or to create new thing. So a end user is just using the final product which it is meant for and consultnat design the product/updation and modification.
The roles and responsibilities of end users is working in easy access menu they will not have authorizations of using img settings if they get doubt they will send query to the implemented company and just entering day to day transactions.
Roles and Responsibilities of End User:
Using the software at the end or after the implementation is an End User.
In sap HR , we do come across entire Org Management creation by an end user after the Personnel strucutre is created. OM objects like creation of Org Unit means functional area or dpt , creation Job and Position and its occupancy is with in the limits of an enduser. Initiallly the OM is created by sap consultant . In course of time a new department has appeared in the company of the client .. this has to be created by the enduser rather than depending up on the implementor... similarly new job and position..like this small things are always done by the enduser.
The entire work of OM is purely depends upon the enduser.
After from this running periodical payroll and Ensuring of the Time schedules ( Work Schedules) of each employee is done from sap easy access by an enduser and the show run of payroll everymonth is by the enduser only. Like this lot of roles are there for an end user.
Whatever the problems come across during the enduser utilisation of sap ...that will reach as ticket to the support team
Explain what are the job responsibilities of END user & POWER user.
One would need user id and password to access SAP be it a developer, consultant, administrator, or end user.
End user is the one who performs transactions in SAP after it goes live. Such as posting an invoice, goods receipt, creating purchase orders, sales orders etc.
Power Users are users with advanced knowledge in certain applications and with special permissions or roles. They work in the specialist departments in the company and are available to other users as contact persons.

Obtaining a plug-In prefix for development

Hello,
reading the Developing Plug-ins and Applications from Adobe Developer Support (April 2007),
it is stated that one needs a prefix for plug-In.
Where do i get such?
Thanks.

And be sure to start with the current SDK, not an 8 year old document. That said, I recommend keeping the old plug-in documentation for reference, as it has many merits over the current document, but of course not the recently added and updated APIs.

"Field ID of Standard Location Structure for Development empty" error?

Hi there
I am implementing the land use management enhancement. It allows me to define an object called a "Public Register" which represents a "set" of land objecs (land parcels, rental units, etc) under special circumstances such as hazardous areas.
Unfortunately it returns two errors on validation/save:
Field ID of Standard Location Structure for Development empty
Field ID of Standard Location Structure for Easement Reg empty
It has no description or reference to any documentation.
What could this error mean?
Regards
Joe

Hi Joe,
could you please tell me the ID and number of the error messages.
Thanks.

New documentation for BI+ SDK?

Hi everyone,
I am an intern working for a company that's using System 9. I've been working with the BIPlus sdk coding some java apps that can run SQR jobs and create repository output folders on the fly, upload documents, etc.
I've hit a wall though, when it comes to assigning security to any of this output. I've seen references to role-based things you can add (in the batch driver program), but that file is so expansive and my java experience is limited, so I can't figure out how to adapt it for general use. We do permissions based on group membership, so I don't know how much we could get out of it, but I've been assured that it's possible.
My boss has told me that he's heard through the grapevine that there is some updated documentation for the APIs that I need, and I figured I would check here before going to hyperion support on this.
Can anyone confirm this and maybe provide a link or a reference?

Hi,
I am facing the same issue.
I am a Java beginner and I need to develop some code for financial report import/export and deletion.
Please can you help with some samples.
my email is: [email protected]
Thanks you in advance.

Hi
Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
Basic terminology used in the workflow:
The workflow definition is the set of rules that determine the path that the process takes. For example, how a purchase requisition is processed, from the initial request to the creation of the purchase order
A Workflow Instance, which is often simply referred to as the workflow, is a single workflow run. For example, the processing of a single purchase requisition for computers.
The Tasks are the steps in the process, which have to be performed either by people or automatically by the software. For example, to check for the availability of the spare computers in the company.
A Work item is the task instance that is performed as a single workflow step. For example, check that there are no spare computers available in the company.
Agents are the people who process the tasks (via the work items). For example, requisitioner and a member of the purchasing department.
Container is the place where all the data used in the workflow is collected.
Binding is the set of rules that define which data is passed to which part of the process.
Building a simple workflow application
The central tool for creating, displaying and processing a workflow is the workflow builder (Transaction SWDD). Within the workflow builder you can create all components of a workflow, including all the containers you need for getting the data from one step to another.
Generally, most of the workflows are started by an event (for example, when a material is created or when a new purchase requisition arrives). You define which data from this event needs to be passed to the workflow via binding.
However you can also start any workflow directly. Let us create a simple workflow and start the workflow directly, using the testing tools.
Call transaction SWDD. When the workflow builder is called for the first time, a newly created initial workflow definition appears or else last created workflow appears. In such cases you can opt to create a new workflow by pressing Create New Workflow(ctrl + shft + F5). The following screen appears.
The initial workflow screen has the following parts:
a. The start of the workflow definition, indicated by .
b. The end of the workflow definition, indicated by .
c. The area in which you insert the new workflow definition is indicated by .
Now select the undefined step and select Create step or double click the undefined step. Now among the different steps chose the User Decision by double clicking on it.

Now enter the title for the user decision Please make a decision. Also enter the decision texts as Approve and Reject. On pressing enter, the outcome values default to the Decision texts but you can specify your own names, if desired. Now we need to select the agent. Agent is the person to whom the work item needs to be sent.. Since this is just a beginning, we would hardcode the user name. Select the User from the drop down list and enter the user name to whom the work item needs to be sent. In general, this type of agent assignment is not done. Agents are generally assigned using the expression, agent assignment rule or organization object (job, position etc.).
Now select Transfer and to graphic button. Following screen appears:
Now we need to include a mail step to be sent to the requestor. Now select the line Approve and do a right click. Different options on shown on the context menu. Select Create.
Now select the step Send Mail from the list.

Now enter the subject and the body of the message for the mail to be sent.
Do not change the recipients. Our mail is intended for the persons who triggered this workflow. &_WF_INITIATOR& contains the value who executed the workflow. Since this is a test object, we are using &_WF_INITIATOR&. But we wouldnt be using this variable in real time scenarios. We would discuss about this in the coming documents.
Now select Transfer and to graphic button.
A popup appears requesting for the abbreviation and the name for this task. Enter the same and press enter.
Now enter the package as local object and press enter.
Follow the steps 5 through 9 for the step Reject. The following screen appears:
Press SAVE to save the workflow application. You need to enter an abbreviation and name for your workflow as shown below. You can change any of these at any later point. After saving, a number is assigned to your workflow starting with WS, as shown below.

...Previous
To execute the workflow, activate it by choosing the activate button.
Test the workflow by choosing Test. The following screen appears.
Now choose Execute to start the workflow.
Now the recipient would receive a work item in his SAP® inbox (Transaction SBWP).
Now execute the work item by pressing Execute. The following screen appears:
Choose one among Approve or Reject as part of the user decision. He can select the third option to retain the work item in his inbox and make the decision later. Now suppose that the recipient has chosen one of the first options. Now a mail would be sent to the requestor with the status of his request.
Creating a Container element
This document details about creation of a container element in workflow and using it in the step "Mail".
Pre-requisites:
It is assumed that the reader of this Tutorial is aware of creating a workflow definition with the step Mail. If not, please go through the document on creating the same available, by clicking here.
Steps:
1. Create a workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
2. Lets create a container element for Carrier id. Click on the Workflow Container on the left side of the screen (as shown in the screenshot below):
3. Now double-click on Double-Click to Create
4. Enter the details pertaining to CARRID here.
5. Click on tab Properties and select Import.
6. Click on Confirm (Enter).
7. Now the element created could be seen on the left side, below the Workflow Container.
Creating a Container element
Previous
1. Create a Mail step by double-clicking on Undefined step in the workflow.
2. Enter the recipient details in the Recipients box.
3. In the subject line, enter Carrid value entered is: and click on Insert Expression.
4. Select the element Carrid from the list.
5. Similarly enter the content in the Body area.
6. Save and activate the application.
Testing the Workflow application:
7. Test the workflow by clicking F8.
8. Enter the value of the Carrid as shown above and press execute.
9. A mail would be sent to the recipient mentioned earlier with the carrid value entered.
Condition Step
Agenda:
This document details about the steps Condition.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
Procedure:
1. Create a new workflow definition.
2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
3. Now click on undefined step and create the step Condition.
4. Enter the step name of your choice.
5. We would have the following condition here:
If carrid = AA.
Do this.
Else.
Do this.
Click on Click here to create a new condition. Following screen appears.
Double click on Carrid. Next click on = and enter the value AA in the constant field and press ENTER.
Enter the outcome names of your choice as shown above.
Click on Transfer and go to graphic.
As shown above, there are two branches here. One navigates to true, if CARRID = AA else the control takes the branch False.
Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in the above 2 branches and by passing different CARRID values.
Condition Step
Agenda:
This document details about the steps Multiple Condition.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
Procedure:
1. Create a new workflow definition.
2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
3. Now click on undefined step and create the step Multiple Condition.
4. Enter the step name of your choice.
5. We would have the following condition here:
If carrid = AA.
Do this.
Elseif carrid = AH
DO this.
Elseif carrid = SQ
Do this.
Else.
Do this.
Select the CARRID using the F4 help for the comparison basis field.
Enter the values of the carrid under the Comparison values with the corresponding outcome name (of your choice)
Double click on Carrid. Next click on = and enter the value AA in the constant field and press ENTER.
Click on Transfer and go to graphic.
As observed above, there are different branches for each value of CARRID mentioned above.
Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in all the branches and by passing different CARRID values.
Using "Container Operation" step
Agenda: Usage of step Container Operation.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this tutorial has worked in the concepts that are dealt in earlier tutorials. (click here for more details)
Scenario: In this tutorial, we would deal about how to work with the step Container Operation with an example of calculating the available seats by subtracting occupied seats from the maximum seats at the workflow level.
Procedure:
1. Create a new workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
2. Create two container elements MaxSeats, Occ_Seats with the import property set. You can use the reference fields sflight-seatsmax, sflight-seatsocc for this.
3. Create another container element AvailableSeats without setting either import or export property as this is calculated within the workflow and used within the workflow. You might use any of the above reference fields as data types.
4. Define a new step Container Operation in the workflow definition by double-clicking on the Undefined step.
5. In this step, we would calculate the available seats from the max seats and seats occupied.
I would recommend entering all the container elements from the F4 help instead of typing them manually.
6. Return to the main screen.
7. Create a mail step after this to send the available seats information.
8. Test the above functionality by passing some values to the maximum and the seats occupied.
9. Result would be as follows:
Triggering Events Programmatically
Purpose: This document details the procedure in triggering the business object events programmatically.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document is aware of the business object concepts and good in ABAP.
Procedure:
In this document, we would take an example of the business object BUS1001006 (Material) and the event CREATED. In general, this event is triggered whenever a material is created using a standard procedure like MM01 or any others. Now we would trigger this event from our own programs.
Following are the screenshots of the business object BUS1001006 and the event CREATED. Go to transaction SWO1 for more information of the business object.
Double-clicking on the key field parameter gives you technical information of the field.
In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
Following is the sample code to trigger the events programmatically:
REPORT ZDEMO_TRIGGER_EVENT.
DATA: KEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY.
KEY = '1163'. Material Number (hard-coded)
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = 'BUS1001006'

In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
Press Switch On.
Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:
Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
A major advantage of workflow is the ability to monitor the workflow steps according to a predefined schedule. Following are different deadlines that can be monitored against each workflow step:
Requested Start
Latest Start
Requested End
Latest End
In this example, we will define a deadline to the User Decision example created earlier (click here). Following is the screenshot of the application developed using the User Decision example:
We would extend this example to the deadline monitoring.
In the User Decision step, click on the latest end tab.
By default, No deadline monitoring is active (as seen in the above screenshot).
Choose the Work Item Creation from the list box.
After selecting Work Item Creation, chose an offset of 5 minutes. This means that the work item must be executed within 5 minutes of the creation, if not this would trigger.
Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
Enter recipient details to whom the message to be escalated, if the work item is not executed with in 5 minutes after work item creation.
Save and activate the workflow definition.
Testing the workflow application:
Execute your workflow.
Check for the work item in the SAP Inbox. This time do NOT execute the work item.
Wait for the deadline to be triggered. After that, a deadline message is delivered to the recipient mentioned in the Latest End tab. See the screenshot below.
Dont worry if the deadline message doesnt appear immediately after 5 minutes. This depends on various factors including how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled and also on the availability of the background processors.
Use SWWA to check how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled in program.
For example, assume that our work item has been created at 09:10 hrs and the deadline message is expected to trigger at 09:15 hrs. From the above screenshot, it is understood that the background program is scheduled to execute for every 3 minutes. Assume that the last run of the program is at 09:14hrs and the next run is expected at 09:17hrs. So even our deadline expires at 09:15, the deadline message would appear only at 09:17hrs after execution of the background program.
Some more points
In our above example, we have used the deadline on the Work Item creation time. i.e., 5 minutes after creation time, the deadline message would be sent. Now we would check the other option Expression. Here we can mention the date and time, when the deadline message should appear irrespective of the work item creation date/time.
As seen in the above screenshot, we can provide the target date and time by which the task should be finished. Container elements could be used in this case. Please refer to our example on creation of container elements (click here).
Personal Substitute in Workflow
Requirement: Need to have at least one substitute who can act upon work items in your absence.
Important: The appointed substitute would be able to see all your work items. A substitute cannot be assigned for only particular area of organization or any other item. So need to ensure that the substitute have the necessary authorizations to act upon the work items.
Procedure:
1. Go to SAP Business Work Place (TCode: SBWP)
2. Now from the menu bar, select Settings à Workflow settings à Maintain Substitute
3. Highlight/Select the name on the window, in this case SAPDEV02 and click on Create Substitute.
4. List of users available in the system are displayed.
5. Select the required substitute user name. Following screen appears.
Validity field describes about the period in which the setting would be active. Note that the dates on the screen would range from the current date to 31st Dec 9999.
Regarding the checkbox Substitution active, it is advised to leave this checkbox unchecked for system performance reasons. A check in this box indicates that the substitution is permanent and if left unchecked it is treated as as-needed. A permanent substitute will automatically receive the primary users work items in their own box. In the case of as-needed, substitute must manually adopt the work items from the primary users inbox.
6. Save the entries
7. Click Enter to leave the screen.
Adopting a Substitute in Workflow
If you have been designated as an as-needed substitute, you must manually adopt the substitution. If you are designated as a permanent substitute, the work items would automatically appear in the inbox.
Before adopting a substitution, there are 19 work items in the inbox. See the screenshot below:
To adopt a substitution, select Settings à Workflow settings à adopt substitution.
Select the corresponding User-id (if you have been assigned as a substitute for multiple people, then this option would allow you to select the user name of whom you would to check the work items)
The corresponding users work items would appear in our inbox now.
You can end the substitution, by selecting settings à Workflow settings à End substitution.
Note: Substitutes can only adopt work items that are directly routed to the person for whom they are a substitute. If you are a substitute for a user (SAPDEV02) who has been made a substitute for another user (SAPDEV01), you will only see work items for user SAPDEV02 and not of the user SAPDEV01.
Notification of Work Items via e-Mail
SAP provides us with a facility of notifying the user via the email address of your choice when there are any pending work items in the SAP Inbox..
1. Go to Transaction SO13.
2. Click on Automatic Forwarding tab.
3. Click on Create icon .
4. Enter the details in the above screen.
5. Click ENTER to complete the entries.
6. Now the notification would be received at the provided email address if there are any pending work items in the inbox.
Filtering the Work Items in the SAP Inbox using BADI
This document details about the procedure in filtering some of the work items from the SAP inbox using a BADi.
Following is the screenshot of the SAP inbox, before implementing BADi:
The BADi that is used in filtering the work items is WF_BWP_SELECT_FILTER. To implement the BADi, go to transaction SE18. From the menu, select Implementation à Create. (See the screenshot below)
Enter the implementation name and press ENTER
Enter any meaningful short text for the implementation and click on the tab Interface
The implementing class, ZCL_IM_BWP_SELECT_FILTER, is automatically proposed. Double click on the implementing class name.
You are now navigated to the class builder. Now double-click on the method name shown on the screen (see the snapshot below)
Now let us filter out the work items belonging to the task TS2000066. See the code below:
Activate the method and also the implementation. In the state of active, you wouldnt be able to make any changes. To make any changes, we need to deactivate it and then make the changes.
Now check the inbox and would notice that the work items related to that task are no more appearing.
To notice the differences, try activating and deactivating the BADi implementation.

Where do I get the Gateway SDK for developing custom Filters?

Hi,
Where do I get the gateway SDK for developing custom Filters?
Regards,
Earnest A Thomas

Hi,
There is not actual SDK to download, its in your installation already. The JavaDoc of all classes are in \doc.11122\javadoc in the ZipFile, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cds/E50612_01.zip (From page: Oracle Enterprise Gateway). There is an online documentation including a tutorial at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E39820_01/doc.11121/gateway_docs/content/general_filter.html
There should be some simple pre-made filters with source code somewhere but I think you might need to contact support to get your hands on those as I can't find them.
Cheers,
Stefan
