Extending BO with external library

Hello,
Is it possible to extend the functions available on BusinessObjects with third-party libraries?
For instance, we want to extend BO with a library with complex mathematical functions and have these functions available to the user on the interface.
Is this possible?
How can we do this?
What requirements must the library fulfill in order to allow seamless integration?
Thank you,
Marco Ribeiro

ITunes album artwork screen saver possible with external library?

I just moved my iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my MacBook, and I was wondering if there's a way to still use the album artwork screen saver when the external drive is not connected? I still have my artwork folder on my internal drive but when it is not connected, it says, "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork." Is there a place where the screen saver info is saved? or does it only work with the library itself?

hi,
it will only work when your library could be available.
beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted.

Problem with external library DC

Hi,
I am working on NWDS Version: 7.02.06.
I am trying to use JXL jars in my DC and have used the blog /people/bertram.ganz/blog/2008/11/24/how-to-use-external-jar-files-in-web-dynpro-development-components to achieve this.
My problem comes at the last step. When I add the Library refernce in my WD DC, i give sap.com~hkjecomp. Sap.com is my vendor and hkjecomp is the JEE (Library type DC) wrapping the External lib DC.
When I deploy the WD DC, it deployed with warnings and a cluster wide exception :

While trying to add the Library reference, I have also tried with sap.com/hkjecomp.

Problem with External Library

Hi Everybody
I'm using NW04s (7.0) sp 11 and I'm having problem using an <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jexcelapi/">external jar</a>
for reading and writing to excel files. (I already used this jar with a regluar WD project and now I want to use it in a Web Dynpro DC project).
I tried using <a href="/people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/09/14/a-bit-of-impractical-scripting-for-web-dynpro blog</a> and <a href="/people/bala.krishnan2/blog/2006/09/25/bid-adieu-to-bots--using-captchas Blog</a>.
I tryed following both step by step, but when I tryed to use my project I get Class Not Found Error. The library is being created but it doesn't contain any jars.
I'll will give ten points for anyone who will guide me step by step how to deploy an external library in NW04s
Maybe something changed in this version??? Or this Jar isn't suitable for SAP J2ee server
Regards
Omer

I tried this blog and had 2 problems.
1.)
I didn't understand this part from the blog
"Caveat confector:
One should always remember this significant and valid point: 'Use ONLY DC Builds to create the deployable archive if you work with assembly public parts."
What should I 'DC Build' the 'Web Dynpro DC' or the 'external library DC'?
It isn't clear.
2.)
When I tried now to do it, I followed the blog and I get this warning when trying to build External Library DC.
"17/06/2007 10:02:09 /userOut/Development Component (com.sap.ide.eclipse.component.provider.listener.DevConfListener) [Thread[ModalContext,5,main]] WARNING: jexecel_lib: Compute DC build order: skipping DC that could not be loaded: MyComponents:sap.com/jexecel_lib.

File does not exist: D:\Documents and Settings\omers\.dtc\LocalDevelopment\DCs\sap.com\jexecel_lib\_comp\.dcdef)"
what is the reason, for this warning?

Running with external library

When I run my program on the command-line prompt, how do I include the external library archived in jar files? I developed my project using an IDE and it runs fine in the environment created by the IDE. But I am having trouble running it directly from the command-line... The VM seem to have troble locating the external library that I included... Does anyone know the answer? Thanx!

Yes, you can, but I don't think you may.
There are two options:
1. unjar all your external jars to a directory and add that to your classpath
2. add all your jars to your classpath
You can also use your classpath environment variable:set classpath=<your classpath>or set in in Windows (which I assume you're using, because you're using SQL Server as well), so that you don't have to specify it for every compile/run command.
Kind regards,

Setting up Eclipse with external library (RePast libraries)

Hi, all!
I need to use a set of jar files built to help me creats agent-based models in Java. The jar files are part of the RePast library http://repast.sourceforge.net/
I successfully wrote and ran a Hello World to make sure Eclipse was running Java just fine; Hello World worked perfectly.
I have tried to import the jar files into Eclipse by creating a new project, going to Project>Properties>Java Build Path, navigating to the RePast J library jar files, importing them by pressing "Import External Jars", going to the Order and Export tab, selecting all, unselecting the JRE, pressing OK, and writing a simple testRepast class, but asking it to import RePast libs with "import uchicago.src.sim.engine.SimpleModel;" as a simple test to see if Eclipse can find my RePast jar files and use them when compiling my project. I get the error message "import uchicago is unresolved"
import uchicago.src.sim.engine.SimpleModel;
public class repastTest extends SimpleModel
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("This class is successfully importing RePast.");
}Am I correctly importing and calling on my RePast jar files?
Thanks!

Hmm, not sure why you are having that issue. Might try to Project > Clean.. (or Rebuild) to see if that helps.
Also what version of Eclipse are you using?
Here is how I add external jars to the build path:
1. Right-click on the project and choose Properties
2. Choose Java Build Path
3. Click on the Libraries tab
4. Click Add External Jars
5. Navigate to and select the jars
6. Verify the jars are selected and click OK to rebuild the project

ITunes Artwork missing with external library

I have a Seagate GoFlex Home and it happens to have an iTunes Library.
So I started putting some of my music onto the drive and when the iTunes do recoginse it, the album artwork is missing. So far I have only put up few albums that I have because I am very picky about my music and I do need artwork. However, when I play a song, the artwork apears in the playing section, but not in the library.

hi,
it will only work when your library could be available.
beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted.

Optimum set-up with external library and iTunes Match

I'm a little frustrated with iTunes Match and iTunes, as it doesn't seem to play nice with libraries stored on an external disk on a network. Here's my current set-up, and any tips on how to eliminate some of the steps I have to take would be much appreciated.
Set-up:
One iTunes Media folder stored on external network drive at home
Another iTunes Media folder, titled "Away from Home", stored on Macbook
iTunes Match is turned on and has all songs (that qualify) uploaded onto it
Own multiple devices that access iTunes Match
If I leave my network and want to use iTunes Match, I have to:
1. Turn off iTunes.
2. Option-click iTunes and hold option to select a library.
3. Choose my "Away from Home" library (or create a new one for those who haven't done this already)
4. Sign in to iTunes, Turn on iTunes Match and add my computer/library to iTunes Match
5. iTunes Match does it's thing which obviously means it adds 0 songs due to having an empty library, then all my iTunes Match songs populate my library
That is all fine and great. However, when I return home and want to listen to ALL songs, meaning those that didn't qualify and the unedited versions (since iTunes Match STILL pushes clean versions of songs), I must take these steps:
1. Turn off iTunes.
2. Option-click itunes and hold option to select my library on external network drive
3. iTunes loads up, but only loads ~16,000 of 19,000 songs
4. Turn iTunes off again.
5. Open Finder, hold option when I click Go in menu bar, go to Library<Preferences and delete the com.apple.iTunes.plist file.
6. Open iTunes again, this time not holding option
7. iTunes opens as if it's been updated or newly installed (meaning it asks if I agree to the T&SA).
8. All songs now found and appear
This is downright stupid. I shouldn't have to take all of these steps to do each of these. It may not sound like it takes a long time, but when you come home and want to turn on music while cleaning, entertaining friends, etc., taking these steps is a hassle and makes iTunes become a chore to run. Is there not a way to simply access my songs in the Cloud without closing iTunes and having to choose a different library? Or are these really the only steps I can take to access music from home and, subsequently, when I get back home?

Syncing with external library

I recently added a whole bunch of music to my itunes library, but I keep the music files on an external hard drive (so about half my library is kept on my computer, the other half on the external). When I plug my ipod in, even when the external HD is also connected, the music from the external doesn't sync onto my ipod. Is it possible to make all the music sync? If so, how would I go about doing that?

I would try changing where your library is to the external, and then consoldiating your library to the external and syncing again,

Reference external library movieclip in library with AS3

Hello, i am able to load at runtime a library asset in flash
cs3. i do this by setting up its linkage property and setting its
base class. for eg
Class: MyButton
Base: flash.display.MovieClip
then in my document class, say i had
com.kofi.InitializeTemplate, my class looks like this
package com.kofi
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import MyButton;
public class InitializeTemplate extends MovieClip
var testButton:MyButton;
public function InitializeTemplate():void
trace("the button class has been called");
testButton = new MyButton();
addChild(testButton);
however, once i bring in an external library asset(which i
have already exported and set it base class etc), i am unable to
call this shared library asset with as3. anyone know what i am
talking about?

Hi Sigiswald,
well it seems SAP also considers that a bug, if you go to the Service marketplace -> Support Packages and Patches -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER 2004S -> Entry by Component -> Development Infrastructure, there is a SAP_BUILDT SP09 Patch 1 referring to note 993799 which says:
"Jar files, especially from development components with type "External Library" are not assembled into the WDA archive for Web Dynpro development components."
Are you using the original SP09 version or this patch?

I have just upgraded my laptop from vista to windows 7, I have all my music on an external as the library is to large for hard disk. I have downloaded Itunes 11 but cannot fathom a way of getting my new itunes to connect with my external library.

Question: I have upgraded my windows vista to windows 7, I have all of my itunes music stored onto an external due to the size of content, so in vista all of my music in itunes had a path to F (external library). But now I have upgrade to windows 7, I cannot get itunes to recognise my library from my external. I have tried to connect external and open itunes with shift key down with both suggestions but to no avail. please help, all I want is to keep my library on external not on hard drive. I have also gone to preferences/advanced and made sure the external drive is chosen. This seems so complicated and I thought it would have been easy...

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

Using iphoto with iphoto library on external hard drive

My Imac is running snow leopard with ilife '11. I have imported way too many photos into Iphoto which is really slowing it down. I'd like to put all of my photos on an external hard drive and use that as my iphoto library--which should be possible, as I gather from reading various other related posts. Another reason to put it on an external drive is so that I can use my new macbook air to edit/organize while on the go.
1. How do I set up my Iphoto library on an external hard drive?
2. How do I make sure that all future photos go to the library on that external hard drive?
3. How do I run Iphoto with the library on an external hard drive?
THANK YOU for your help!

Hello. I just transferred my iPhoto library to a Western Digital My Book for Mac external hard drive. Do you know if I needed to format this drive even though it says it's for Mac. I did not format it and there were not any instructions with the drive that said I needed to do it. The transfer seems to have worked ok but my backups from Time Machine onto Time Capsule are inconsistent. I already posed a question regarding this problem but I noticed this message regarding formating the external disk and I wonder if that is causing the problem. Thanks.

Saved my Library to an external HD and now iTunes wants to erase my iPod Touch to sync with this library

I saved my iTunes Media Library to an external HD prior to reformatting my laptop. I have since reinstalled everything including iTunes. I pointed iTunes to the new Library location, signed into my account on iTunes and everything looks fine. All of my apps, podcasts, music, etc., all show up in iTunes and it even recognizes my iPod. Yay! HOWEVER, when I attempt to sync the iPod iTunes informs my that I can't have it synced to two Libraries and it wants to erase my iPod and sync it with the Library in the new location. I do not relish the thought of having to rearrange my entire 32gb iPod to my liking after erasing and syncing it. Is there anyone with knowledge in this area that can suggest something? Am I missing a setting somewhere or perhaps a work-around for this?

Reboot your Mac and check the available size afterward. If that doesn't help try reindexing the drive: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple

Help with iTunes Library and External Music Management

Okay, this nightmare has been getting worse and worse over the past few weeks so let's break it down so people can understand what I'm trying to do.
1) I have music on both my internal laptop drive and external drives.
2) I want to have two libraries, one for the internal drive featuring all the music on my internal drive (and possibly some stuff on the external since that's how it currently is), and the other which is ALL my music from all my drives.
3) I want all new podcasts/itunes store content to save to my external drive.
4) I want the iTunes music folder to reflect which library I'm running (that is to say, if I am in my internal library, the iTunes music folder would be on the internal drive so if anything is copied to "itunes music library" it would copy to my internal, if on the external drive the itunes folder would be on the external drive and anything copied would end up there)
5) I want iTunes to keep each library organized.
6) for my External library I would LOVE to keep all my playlists, and iTunes store purchases in the library (something that didn't happen when I created a new library)
IS THIS POSSIBLE!?!
Basically here's what i did in the past. created a new library on the external and added all my music on the external to it. this caused it to organize everything fairly nicely. I then copied imported the XML data from my old internal library so I would get my playlists and iTunes store stuff to show up, along with anything on the internal drive. this cause MAJOR duplication issues (i have 3 copies of songs now in my external drive which Im going to have to sort through). I tried multiple libraries but everytime I switch back and forth my iTunes music folder keeps changing. (ie. the folder location will carry over to any library - not stick to just the one) This is a HUGE pain in the ###.
Basically, if I'm on the road I want to be able to open iTunes, it automatically launch my internal library which has everything in my internal drive, know that the music folder is "my username/music", and then when I come back home and able to plug into my external drive be able to launch that external library and it know that my music folder should now be "externaldrive/music".
i cannot seem to get iTunes to save this folder preference PER library. is this even possible!?! I just want this stupid thing to work!

As long as you don't have an existing library that is synced with a device or holds oodles of carefully crafted playlists, ratings etc. then...
Hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get an option to choose or create a library. Click create, browse to root of the external drive and click save so that your library is say X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of your external drive. All new content downloaded to the library will stay on the external drive.

Has anyone tried using a JavaScript External Library with 64bit InDesign?

I have an event listener that calls a JavaScript file. The JS script uses a c++ external library. All works fine with 32 bit InDesign including the new cloud version, but I get an "I/O error" when trying to load the library from a 64bit InDesign generated event. I have even tried using the sample project BasicExternalObject and get the same error.
Any thots would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Zhiqiang_Li <http://forums.adobe.com/people/Zhiqiang_Li> ,
Yes, I got this working some time ago. I am not a mac user but perhaps the general principle is the same:
In Windows 64, if your application is compiled 64bit then you can only access InDesign 64bit and its object library. However if your app is 32 bit then you can only access InDesign 32bit and its object library.
Sorry I don’t know more about the mac. All of our users (200+) use InDesign for windows so of course our app is also windows based. Does the mac support both a 32 and 64 bit version of InDesign? If not my solution will not be much help.
