Doubt on webI

Hi All,
1)Please tell me that how many sections and breaks can we apply on one report.
2)How many times an object instance occurs in Bo
Thank you.

hi,
1) There is no limit on number of sections and breaks in a WEBI report.
2) When you schedule a WEBI report, an instance is generated. The number of instances depend upon the number of schedules. Schedule status may be Success or Failure. You can have Recurrence Scheduling.

Doubts in Web Application Designer

Hi Experts,
         I want to know about the following things in Web Application Designer.
   1. How to display the desired text in Ticker item?
   2. How can we make alinments between web items such that there is no extra gap between them? (I even used table to make alignments. But it isn't satisfied.)
         Please clarify my doubts....
With Regards,
Yokesh Kumar.

Doubts developing web services on JDev 10.1.3.0.4

Hi,
I was trying to follow this guide
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/balusamy.html
in order to develop this web service on Jdev 10.1.3.0.4.
But the menus are different from the version used on the tutorial. I´m having some difficulties with the selections that i have to make in the menus. Also, after trying several options, the files generated are different from the ones that appear on this tutorial.
Does anyone know how to reproduce this tutorial on this version of jdev ?
Thanks.

Hi,
The guide you were refering was pointing to 10.1.2 wizards.
For the latest 10.1.3 tutorial, please follow the below tutorial link :

I have a serlet that is using a file which contains the list of email addresses. I have passed that file in init method. But when I execute that I am getting error. I guess I have to make some changes in my web.xml file. Can anyone tell me how to do that.
In my init method I have used the following like to get the file:
filename = config.getInitParameter("addressfile");
Also tell me where we have to place the file-addressfile.
And also tell me whst code in web.xml will make it work.

Hi,
Whatever changes you make in Bex query are reflacted in Web report.
So you have to change the query.

Standard F4 (search help) in the web dynpro JAVA

Hi,
         I have a small doubt in web dynpro Java. Basically I am an ABAP developer. We created some custom Remote function modules (RFM). Now are able to call RFM through web dynpro JAVA in the portal. We are able to run the RFMs in the portal.
         But we have problem with search help. How can I built the search help for the input fields in the portal using web Dynpro Java.
         Can we bring standard search help (which is exist in R/3) in the portal?

Hi,
I think there is no standered functionality available in WDJava to achieve this functionality like ABAP or WDAbap. but, you can still achieve this using OVS option. to do this also, first you should have an interface which can talk to the R3 system and search the dB as per the query parameters i.e, an RFC which can the desired form of input and give you the desired output.
for more info on OVS, please look into this below links.

Dynamically Select measure field in webi

Hello Experts,
I am creating a web I report on top of Universe which is developed on Bex query.
I have one doubt with web I functionality:
My requirement is, I have two different measure field (one is in pound & one is in dollar). My user want to see any one measure field at one time. Like if he clicks on Pound, pound key figure should display & if he clicks on dollar, dollar key figure should display.
There is one functionality called "Input Control" in web I, I have gone through few blogs & thread in which this requirement is mentioned. But all this blogs & thread are on different database like MYSQL etc. not on SAP BW.
I have SAP BW as my back end. So can anyone have idea how we can achieve this ?
Thanks in advance,
With Regards,
Chintan Vora.

Hi,
Here is what happens.
1) You create a WebI report WITH a key figure on say 2 dimensions. In this case WebI knows how the two dimensions are to be joined, because you also included a keyfigure/measure (from the fact table) and WebI will only return the relevant rows (the relationsships are defined in the universe).
2) You create a WebI report WITHOUT a key figure, again on 2 different dimensions. In this case WebI does not know how to join the two dimension tables because you did not include a facttable and WebI will create the cartesian product, i.e. it will display all members of the first dimension combined with all members of the second dimension. So two dimensions with 1000 members each will result in 1.000.000 mio. rows to be returned. If you add more dimensions to your query/report they will give even more combinations and the number of result rows are: Members in first dimension * Members in second dimension * Members in third dimension and so on.
Creating reports on master data only will only make sense if you are creating it on single infoobjects or on infoobjects that are related, e.g. creating a report using a infoobject and one or more of its related attributes.

Show user's menu in a Web Aplication Disigner 7

Hi Experts,
I have a doubt abaout Web Aplication Designer 7
I want to know how to show a user's menu (EX: Favorites or RoleMenu ) in a Web Template, done with the Web Aplication Designer 7.
In 3.X version this feature is avalaible as standard Web Item, but we can't use 3.X version.
Any fedback will be really apreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi David,
In WAD 7.0 Role Menu is replaced by the role based display of content in the SAP Netweaver Portal.
Role menus are displayed in portal and passwords becomes case sensitive.
The role menu web item is obsolete and doesn't show 2004s templates/queries. There is a core mod possible to make this happen, but is not recommended. Instead, use one of the publishing options from the blog. It gives you all the possible options.
For your publishing strategy, please read this blog carefully:
/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/11/19/sap-netweaver-2004s-bi--define-your-publishing-strategy-part-2

EAI AND WEB SERVICES

Hi,
What is the difference between web services and EAI ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Salient Differences between Traditional EAI Solutions and Web Services
A few essential differences between traditional EAI solutions and Web Services are, as follows:
Simple: There is no doubt that Web Services are much simpler to design, develop, maintain, and use as compared to a typical EAI solution which may involve distributed technology such as DCOM and CORBA. Once the framework of developing and using Web Services is ready, it will be relatively easy to automate new business processes spanning across multiple applications.
Open Standards: Unlike proprietary EAI solutions, Web Services are based on open standards such as UDDI, SOAP, HTTP and this is probably the single most important factor that would lead to the wide adoption of Web Services. The fact that they are built on existing and ubiquitous protocols eliminates the need for companies to invest in supporting new network protocols.
Flexible: Since EAI solutions may require point-to-point integration, changes made at one end have to be propagated to the other end, making them very rigid and time consuming in nature. Web Services based integration is quite flexible, as it is built on loose coupling between the application publishing the services and the application using those services.
Cheap: EAI solutions, such as message brokers, are very expensive to implement. Web Services, in the future, may accomplish many of the same goals - cheaper and faster.
Scope: EAI solutions, such as message brokers, integrate applications treating them as single entities, whereas Web Services allow companies to break down big applications into small independent logical units and build wrappers around them. For example, a company can write wrappers for different business components of an ERP application such as order management - purchase order acceptance, status of order, order confirmation, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
Efficient: As mentioned in the previous point, Web Services allow applications to be broken down into smaller logical components, which makes the integration of applications easier as it is done on a granular basis. This makes Web Services solutions for EAI much more efficient than traditional EAI solutions.
Dynamic: Web Services provide a dynamic approach to integration by offering dynamic interfaces, whereas traditional EAI solutions are pretty much static in nature.

Java implementation of web service concept

I am so confused. What exactly is the Java implementation of web service concept? SOAP, J2EE, JSP+Servlets+beans or what?

For an excellent description of webservices in Java read the following article
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=WebServices-Dev-Guide
It should clear most of your doubts.
Web services means a client server program which exhanges data in XML over HTTP.
Soap is one way of implementing web services. A java soap implementation is freely available at
http://xml.apache.org/soap/index.html
Also, you can read about ebXML (which is another model for making web services).
http://www.xml.org/feature_articles/2000_1107_miller.shtml
http://java.sun.com/features/2001/09/ebxmlrev.html
hope this helps.

I want you to check why moderator locked my thread?

I am a j2ee guy. from so long we are into this forum. I used to post and answer so many j2ee and java related threads. I have posted a thread and the discussion was going on, mean while in the discussion we ran into a geniric question on web applications and when we are discussing on that moderator locked my thread. after all j2ee is for web applications and we are j2ee developers. when we have a generic doubt on web applications where will we go for that. in j2ee forums there will lot of people who worked on web applications. so when we ran into a discussion in between it should be allowed. people post struts and some other stuff which is not related at all. they are being fine but when i am discussing a general web application issue in j2ee forums i dont feel that moderator has done the right thing. After all j2ee is about developing enterprise applications so when we are on topic why does it get locked. my thread is
how does facebook comments work? I mean if i have to do in j2ee.
or
is there any other forum for this?

Perhaps useful to note the main thrust of discussion has continued on {thread:id=2496863} ....
(NB: thanks OP for NOT supplying a link to this and wasting my time! ... I am not impressed by picking up a thread with zero replies to see a related thread discussion going on elsewhere)
It certainly appears to me the thread was off topic for the forum it was in, though my java/j2ee is really scant, so I can't say for sure. As such OP probably has no gripe against a thread lock.
Perhaps the question involved really which technology to use to solve a particular problem ... any may have skipped accross boundaries. As far as I can tell there is no appropriate 'general questions' category; but I suspect the thread might not have been out of totally out of context under
{forum:id=922} ... but some may argue this is more under j2ee than straight Java. So an alternative forum suggestion or move might have been a different way to go. That said .... forum moderators have limited spare time so if they choose to lock rather than move that would be okay by me.
I guess moderators will discuss this if necessary (if it is not already) on: Too much mod ( This is a moderator only discussion .... so i have no clue what is said).

Mapping Java Types to XML Types

Hi, I have a small doubt in web services,
1) how a java data type can match with xml data type in wsdl,
2) how and where the java program can find the matching java
    data type to xml data type and vice versa
3) whether any mechanism is available for this data conversion?
4) where can i find that one?
Please advice me
Regards
Marimuthu.N

Hi Marimuthu.N,
My answers for your question, Kindly let me know if you need some more inputs.
+1) how a java data type can match with xml data type in wsdl,+
In SOAP 1.1 you have the following data types which is in XSD(XML Schema Definition), the same data type is also available in Java. For example (string, normalizedstring in xml is available as java.lang.String)
The complete list can be found in the table below.

</wsdl:definitions>I use apache axis for the client side code. I also suggest to start using this to get quickly into SOA(Service Oriented Architecture)
package com.googlepages.zackria;
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
* TestClient for Webservice
* @author $author$Mohammed Zackria
* @version $Revision$1.00
public class TestClient {
     * main method
     * @param args pass nothing as far now
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            String endpoint = "http://localhost:8080/TestWebService/services/Test";
            Service service = new Service();
            Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
            call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endpoint));
            call.setOperationName(new QName("http://zackria.googlepages.com", "getHello"));
            //String Conversion
            String ret = (String) call.invoke(new Object[] { "Zack" });
            System.out.println("Sent 'Zack', got '" + ret + "'");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println(e.toString());
}+3) whether any mechanism is available for this data conversion?+
Check the above code which has the following portion
//String Conversion
String ret = (String) call.invoke(new Object[] { "Zack" });
By default APACHE Axis returns Object Array which can be Casted to your WSDL defined data type.
+4) where can i find that one?+
[Eclipse Webservice|http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/ws/1.5/tutorials/BottomUpWebService/BottomUpWebService.html]
Hope this helps out, Kindly Let me know if you need some more or if i have not answered your question.
Regards,
Zack
