Documentation: How to use?

Learning Java, have specific task to perform. E.G read characters or word or line from keyboard. Search on whole SUN website seems to produce no help at all. Keyboard doesn't even appear in language specification or in java.lang specification. (where someone had told me to look).I can't find it in tutorials either.
So, am I missing some key documentation source? How does anyone find which of the thoiusands of elements are helpful, relevant or necessary for a task?

It's frustrating when a product's documentation fails to mention everything that isn't included in it. I don't mean that sarcastically, I once spent most of a day rummaging through the documentation of a product called Harvard Graphics, trying to find the command to display my diagram sideways. Well, it turned out that the product couldn't do that. But the documentation didn't say "You can't rotate your diagram" or "You can't display your diagram sideways" or anything like that. And why should it? I was still annoyed, though.
It's the same thing here. Java doesn't have a standard API for handling serial ports, but it doesn't tell you that. I guess the documentation writers assume that you know that Java was designed to be a platform-independent language for performing Internet-oriented tasks and not quite a general-purpose programming language. Given that, you would not be surprised to find that it couldn't handle serial ports, or the Microsoft Windows registry, or many of the other "How Do I's" that you regularly see in these forums.
Of course you can't design a computer language without people demanding that it do everything they want, so there's a considerable pressure to make Java handle all of those things. But you don't want to throw all of that into the base system, or your product will balloon to a size such that only people with high-speed connections can download it. Hence the "optional packages" such as the Communications API, and the new features added to Java 1.4.
I understand that Sun originally wanted Java to be a small product, and that it expected other people to create useful classes to add on to it. That's exactly what happened with regular expressions. People created useful classes to deal with regular expressions. But guess what? The question "How do I do regular expressions in Java" continued to appear in this forum. Apparently if it doesn't come from Sun, then somehow it isn't "official" and it's risky to use it. So Sun put regular expressions classes into Java 1.4. Just makes it bigger, more documentation, even harder to find things.

How to use ICROleObject to run SetOleLocation

I am trying to located what library ICROleObject is found in. I want to use SetOleLocation to send a Word Document or an Excel Spreadsheet to a report section.
I have found an example on Business Objects DevLibrary:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm
cOLEObj.SetOleLocation App.Path & "\res\SampleExcel1.xls"
cOLEObj.Height = 1800
cOLEObj.Width = 5791
But I cannot find any information on how to declare or use the   cOLEObj
After googling, I found that it should be declared as   ICROleObject
I cannot find this Interface in any of the libraries.   I cannot find any documentation how to use this.
Can anyone please give me an example or point me where to find how to add a OLE Object into a Report.
This must be done in .Net, not in the designer. I am dynamically adding sections and objects into this report,
so it must be dynamically added into a section.
To add a picture, I am using this and it works great, but I also need to be able to add Word Docs and PDF's into a report
boPictureObject = boReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.ImportPicture( _
strImportFileName, boSection, 1, 1)
Thank you,
Jeff

After talking with a Crystal Support tech, it turns out this feature does not work. It sure would be nice if they got this working.

How to use the knowledge base category hierarchy?

Hi !
I read documents about the knowledge base, I know Oracle Text supplies English and French knowledge base, but I would like to know how to use it, how to handle it. If I want to had some themes, or delete some.
Is there a table containing the knowledge base?
Is there someone can help me? Thanks in advance
Have a nice day
PS : sorry for my poor english

Thank you very much M. Omar R Alonso for your reply.
I checked in the documentation how to use the ctx_query.hfeedback procedure, and I tried the example provided. But it doesn't work, the bt_feedback, rt_feedback, nt_feedback columms have never filled.
I'm not sure that the knowledge base is already supplied in Oracle Text, because also, when I execute a query like :
select ID_TXT, score(1) SCORE from TEXT_BASE where contains("idx_txt","sport",1)>1 order by SCORE DESC
The results are the same as
select ID_TXT, score(1) SCORE from TEXT_BASE where contains("idx_txt","about(sport)",1)>1 order by SCORE DESC
So, I don't know if it uses the knowledge base or not.
Thx again

Is there any documentation on how to use JDBC in ALBPM?

I'm trying to connect to a DB using DriverManager class.
1) I've defined an externalResource of type SQL Database.
2) When I execute the following code:
//externalResourceURL is the URL of the SQL Database external resource created in 1), same for user and password
con as java.sql.Connection = DriverManager.getConnection(arg1=externalResourceURL, arg2=user, arg3=password)
3) I get the following error: This driver is locked for use with embedded applications.
Is there any tutorial or documentation on how to use JDBC in ALBPM?
Thanks in advance

I don't know of any documentation off hand... but what are you trying to do? I haven't needed to to make a connection using the DriverClass....
If you aren't using dynamicSQL... you can just catalog the database, and make direct sql calls (not recommended)... but if you catalog it, then just an INSERT command works... or UPDATE... etc
logMessage "Starting insert."
INSERT INTO MYTABLE(id, name) VALUES ("2", "kevin");
logMessage "Finished insert."Check out the studio help under SQL Keywords for more info on that...

Where I can find documentation on how to use MyComponse API ?
Any example ?
Thanks

not 100% sure at which point the callout to BEFOREPROCESSCOMPOSE is done, but during the process logs phase, the data in the CVR$ tables is copied into the clg$ tables, and the cvr$ table dml flags cleared
unles the query is very complex/long running why not join the clg$ tables (only have the data that has changed, so smaller than the cvr$ tables, to your base tables for determining if relevant within the MyCompose needCompose method?
an example from one of our MyCompose classes is
public int needCompose(Connection conn, String clientid) throws Throwable{
boolean baseDirty = false;
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = null;
int rowCount = 0;
int fetchCount = 0;
ResultSet rows;

// TIR / SOLO assessments
// Inspection history checklists
// PIJ marking sheets
// INSSI

Sender Mail Adapter - S/MIME - How to use it?

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to use the S/MIME security parameter of the Sender Mail Adapter in PI 7.1.
Could anyone point me to some useful documentation/examples/blogs ?
Or perhaps explain what steps are involved when configuring this parameter?
We are pulling emails from an Microsoft Exchange server.
Many thanks,
Aldo

First of all one sender mail adapter has to be tight with a specific sender email address.
The email has to be decrypted as whole, you cannot decrypt parts of it.
Then you store certificates to secure store in J2EE server and point to it in send agreement, this should be equal to HTTPS setup
Check security guide:

How to use transaction FPOP

Hi, All,
I am trying to do delta upload for FI-CA business partner items 0FC_BP_ITEMS. I see there is a documentation say "Before you start the delta extraction, you should update the delta queue for this DataSource in the plugged-in OLTP system using transaction FPOP.". After my initial load, I made a new posting. And then I ran FPOP, and then I run delta update. But I am told "No new data since the last delta update". So seems delta did not get my new posting. Is there anybody can give some advice, or tell me how to use FPOP? I am not sure how to create the Variant in FPOP. Thanks a lot!
Meiying

HI ,
Steps for FPOP
1. Under General Selection tab input Date ID and Identification. - > Combination of this must be Unique.
2.Steps to create Variant - >Under technical settings tab , select tab for variant maintenance -> press F7 to create a new variant -> give a variant name -> Select number of intervals and give number value as 999 and execute.
New Variant is created.
3.Use the new variant, save all settings and "Schedule the program run".
4.Click on refresh to track the status of the program run.
5.Goto RSA7 and check for the Delta Queue - new values will be populated.

How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

Hi,
I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
paddu.

In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
Use
This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
hidden entry processing
fill hidden fields
flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
Realization
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
internal table TOTAL
field symbols
field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.

Joy.

How to use Oracle partitioning with JPA @OneToOne reference?

Hi!
A little bit late in the project we have realized that we need to use Oracle partitioning both for performance and admin of the data. (Partitioning by range (month) and after a year we will move the oldest month of data to an archive db)
We have an object model with an main/root entity "Trans" with @OneToMany and @OneToOne relationships.
How do we use Oracle partitioning on the @OneToOne relationships?
(We'd rather not change the model as we already have millions of rows in the db.)
On the main entity "Trans" we use: partition by range (month) on a date column.
And on all @OneToMany we use: partition by reference (as they have a primary-foreign key relationship).
But for the @OneToOne key for the referenced object, the key is placed in the main/source object as the example below:
@Entity
public class Employee {
@Id
@Column(name="EMP_ID")
private long id;
@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;
EMPLOYEE (table)
EMP_ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME SALARY ADDRESS_ID
1 Bob Way 50000 6
2 Sarah Smith 60000 7
ADDRESS (table)
ADDRESS_ID STREET CITY PROVINCE COUNTRY P_CODE
6 17 Bank St Ottawa ON Canada K2H7Z5
7 22 Main St Toronto ON Canada L5H2D5
From the Oracle documentation: "Reference partitioning allows the partitioning of two tables related to one another by referential constraints. The partitioning key is resolved through an existing parent-child relationship, enforced by enabled and active primary key and foreign key constraints."
How can we use "partition by reference" on @OneToOne relationsships or are there other solutions?
Thanks for any advice.
/Mats

How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables

hi
Please consider section "40.8.5 How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables"
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#ADFFD19610
Based on this documentation I created the example application
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.01.zip
It behaves as show in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd
Its Application Module has a Transient View Object instance "MyEmployeesContextVOVI", as master for the child View Object instance "EmpInCtxJobVI".
On rollback the Transient View Object instance keeps its row and attribute values.
Also when passivation and activation is forced (using jbo.ampool.doampooling=false ) the Transient View Object instance seems to keep its row and attribute values.
questions:
- (q1) Why does the expression #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty} evaluate as true when a Transient View Object instance attribute value is changed (as shown in screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd )?
- (q2) What would be a robust approach to make a Transient View Object instance more self-contained, and manage itself to have only one single row (per instance) at all times (and as such removing the dependency on the Application Module prepareSession() as documented in "5. Create an empty row in the view object when a new user begins using the application module.")?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Thanks for your reply Frank.
q1) Does sample 90 help ? http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/
Yes, the sample from Steve Muench does help, "90. Avoiding Dirtying the ADF Model Transaction When Transient Attributes are Set [10.1.3] "
at http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#90
It does point out a difference in marking transactions dirty by different layers of the framework, "... When any attribute's value is changed through an ADFM binding, the ADFM-layer transaction is marked as dirty. ...".
This can be illustrate with a small change in the example application
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.02.zip
It now shows the result of both these expressions on the page ...
#{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty}
#{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.dataProvider.transaction.dirty}... where one can be true and the other false respectively.
See also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/k8vgNqdKgD
Similar to the sample from Steve Muench, another modification to the example application introduces MyCustomADFBCDataControl
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.03.zip
public class MyCustomADFBCDataControl
extends JUApplication
@Override
public void setTransactionModified()
    ApplicationModule vApplicationModule = (ApplicationModule)getDataProvider();
    Transaction vTransaction = vApplicationModule.getTransaction();
    if (vTransaction.isDirty())
      super.setTransactionModified();
}Resulting in what seems to be more consistent/expected transaction (dirty) information,
see also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/756yCs1L1
Any feedback on why the ADF Model layer is so eager to mark a transaction dirty is always welcome.
Currently, question (q2) remains.
regards
Jan

How to use synonyms on multiple word search ?

We use context with multiword search like this one :
select * from my_table where contains(my_text,'the small building near the river')>0
Now we have specific synonyms in a thesaurus. How do we write the contains clause ?
contains(my_text,'syn(the,thes) and syn(small,thes) and syn(building,thes) and syn(near,thes) and syn (river,thes)')>0 does not fin the synonym for "small building"="house" for instance
contains(my_text,'syn(the small building near the river,thes)')>0 does only for synonyms on the full sentence.
More generally is there an Oracle Document which describes how to use SYN, FUZZY and combine them, since
the reference documentation gives only limited information on this ?
Have a nice day

The thesaurus functionality is not currently built for stuff like this.
if you want to combine fuzzy and thesaurus, I am assuming you want to do fuzzy first, to correct any misspelling,
then thesaurus on the "corrected" spellings? You'd have to do something like:
1. take the query and run ctx_query.explain to break it down and do the fuzzy expansion
2. work through the fuzzy expansion and build a new query string by sticking SYN() around each
expanded word
As for thesaurus expansion and phrase, these are not compatible. Thesaurus expansions use "," and "|", and so
you cannot have a phrase of thesaurus expansions.
I see what you're getting at, but you would need sub phrase detection, phrase equivalence, etc., which is
currently beyond the thesaurus function capability.
You can use themes (ABOUT) on phrases, and it will do something like what you are describing. You might want
to check that out.

How to use another XSLT processor

Hello all,
Recently, I do need to use XSLT 2.0 processor, but how to install it to the JDK? Please give the detailed steps. And how to use it, just import the package? How to avoid the program to the old processor, because I doubt probably the old processor is part of the JDK. And how does this change impact to the java web service? And how do I change the web service about this change?
Thank you in advance.

>
I want to use SaxonHE9.4.0.3 processor
>
Michael Kay provides extensive Installation instructions for all of his products. They are included in the documentation download.
Here is just a small part of what was provided for the version I use
>
Installation of Saxon simply involves unzipping the supplied download file into a suitable directory. The procedure is the same for the Standard product and the Schema-Aware product. The two products can co-exist in the same directory or in different directories.
One of the files that will be created in this directory is the principal JAR file. This is saxon8.jar in the case of Saxon-B, saxon8sa.jar in the case of Saxon-SA. There are additional JAR files to support optional features including the JDOM interface and the SQL interface. When running Saxon, the principal JAR file should be on the class path. The class path is normally represented by an environment variable named CLASSPATH: see your Java documentation for details. Note that the JAR file itself (not the directory that contains it) should be named on the class path.
