Extracting image variants for web index from MDM via Java API
Hi There, we are currently using an open source search engine to crawl the MDM database and build indexes for our webstores nightly. In this process, we have an image extraction method using the MDM java API's. Can someone please tell me how to call an image variant into this process rather than the 'original image' stored in MDM? I've created a variant that will optimise for web conditions and we need to call this one into the webstore, not the originals that are sometimes huuuuge...
Hi Adam,
From MDM Documentation (can be found here [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/49/0505fba870404ce10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]):
Retrieving Image Variants
To retrieve binary data for image variants carry out these steps:
1. Retrieve all image variants using the RetrieveImageVariantsCommand class.
2. Retrieve the Image BLOB whose variants you want to get, (see Retrieving BLOB Records above).
3. Retrieve the BLOB for the specific image variant using the RetrieveBlobCommand.
Hope this information helps,
Idan

Failed to connect to MDM via Java API
Hi,
I wrote a very simple application in which there is a view which

Kaushik BanerjeeHi Jitesh,
getRepositoryConnection() is my method which does the connection.
Now, there are methods as :
getFields
public FieldId[] getFields()Get array of field IDs for all populated records.
Returns:
array of field IDs. Empty array is returned if any field was populated
getFieldValue
public MdmValue getFieldValue(FieldId fieldId)
throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentExceptionGet value of the specified field.
Parameters:
fieldId - field ID
Returns:
field value
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if field with specified ID does not exist or was not populated
I want to use all these methods.
So, I need to declare these methods in the Controller Class and these methods will call themselves so, that I can achieve the real purpose of creating records, getting values from the field and getting field Ids etc.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

How to cache images retrieved from MDM on Java WebAS
Hello Colleagues,
We have a scenario where we are trying to retrieve image records from the MDM using Java APis. Instead of hitting the DB everytime, is there a way to implement caching? For instance, is it possible to cache the images on the java WebAS and return the path of the images instead of returning the byte stream everytime?
Thanks and Regards,
Nisha
Edited by: Nisha NC on Sep 1, 2009 7:35 AMHi Nisha,
You can use the Class ObjectCache from the Java API.
For more information please refer to:

Extract image and Features from the Catalog via JAVA API
Hello,
I would like to Extract image from the Catalog via JAVA API, Can anybody help on that? I also tried to extract the Features field form the Catalog but results in the error "Features field not found" Any ideas what could have wrong?
Many thanks,
DharmiHello,
Can anybody tell me where i can find the latest JAVAAPI reference guide? I found the one for MDM 5.5 SP 1 but that also refers to the last parameter of the CatalogCache.Init as int and not string.
I looked up in service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Netweaver -> Release 4 -> Installation and there only following 3 files are there for MDM 5.5 SP2
MDM 5.5 SP02 - Configuration Guide SAP MDM

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application
Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application. -
How to create process variant for delete index in a process chain
Respected all
I am creating a process chain, but unable to create process variant for the delete index. kindly tell me the
step by step proceure for creating the variant for delete index. also if we use variant which is previously prepared then will it be safe? will it affect the other running process chian.
pls reply
thanks
abhayHi,
Please do not use an already created variant for index deletion. It might delete indices of some other cube.
You can follow the following steps -
1. Open the chain in Edit mode and click on "Process Types" button
2. On the Left hand side you will have various process types. Choose "Data Target Administration" and expand it.
3. Choose the first process "Delete Index" (it will be marked with a trash bin sign) and drag it to your chain
4. It will ask you create a variant. Press the create Button
5. In new window enter the Process Variant technical name and description
6. Then in new window choose Object Type = Cube through dropdown and Object name via browsing. After choosing the cube name click on "Transfer Selections"
7. Save and return to your chain
8. It will automatically generate a create index step also after delete index.
9. You need to break the link between create and delete step and insert infopackage in between to get the following steps - delete index --> load cube --> create index.
Please let me know if this is helpful..

How to obtain a disk image (dmg) for an app from the App Store
Is there anyway to obtain a disk image (dmg) for an app from the App Store?
I need to obtain an dmg for a small App that is only available from the App store, but I need to put it on a Snow Leopard machine that does not have App Strore installed (and cannot be upgraded further).Any Mac with Snow Leopard can be updated to 10.6.8, which includes the MAS. Just download the 10.6.8 update combo and install it on that Mac.
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
You also do not need a dmg, just copy the app from one Mac to another. Unless the app has an installer MAS apps are simple drag & drop installation apps. If it has an installer drag & drop the installer and then run it on the Mac where you want the app.
Most MAS apps require a minimum of Mac OS X 10.6, and many require 10.6.6, 10.6.7, or 10.6.8 to run. -
Search for a Multilingual value in MDM using JAVA API
Good day,
Could you kindly assist.
I am trying to search for a field in MDM, from Portal using JAVA API. I do retrieve the value in English, but the problem is when I am trying to retrieve it in other languages. Please see sample code:

TextSearchConstraint textcontrain=null;
RepositorySchema reposchema =mdmconnection.reposchema;
if(value!=null)
search= new Search(tableid);
fielddimension=new FieldSearchDimension(reposchema.getFieldId("ATTR_VAL_ABBR","TEXT_VALUE"));
textcontrain=new TextSearchConstraint(value,TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);

Hi,
I am trying to fetch images via Java Api.
Please look at the code below:
A2iValueArray imgs1 = null;
for(int y=0; y<rs1.GetRecordCount(); y++){
imgs1 = rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Product_Image").GetValueArray();
It is throwing me a Class cast exception.
I also tried
imgs1 = (A2iValueArray) rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Product_Image").GetValueArray();
but to no avail...
I am using MDM Sp04..
Please guide me...This Code Worked for me:
try {
A2iResultSet rs1 = catalogData.GetResultSet(search, rsd, null, true, 0);
A2iValueArray imgs1 = new A2iValueArray();
for(int y=0; y<rs1.GetRecordCount(); y++){
if(!rs1.GetValueAt(y, "Images").IsNull()){
imgs1 = rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Images").GetValueArray();
int id = imgs1.GetValueAt(0).GetIntValue();
//int id = rs1.GetValueAt(0, "Product_Color").GetIntValue();
String imagePath = catalogCache.GetImagePath("Products", id);//"Thumbnail" ,
//wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning("Your image is at: " + CACHE_DIRECTORY + "\" + imagePath);
System.out.println("imagePath="+imagePath);
break;
catalogData.Logout();
} catch (StringException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Modifying record in MDM using JAVA API
hello all
I have created record in MDM using JAVA API now I want to update record using API. I used ModifyRecordCommand. But this requires input as Record but I have RecordID of the record to be modified. How do I get Record value from RecordID.Hi,
You can use RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand to get the record by Record Id.
RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand recordbyidcom = new RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand(con);
recordbyidcom.setSession(session);
recordbyidcom.addId(recordid);
recordbyidcom.setResultDefinition(resultdefinition);
recordbyidcom.execute();
RecordResultSet rs = recordbyidcom.getRecords();
Record record = rs.getRecord(0);
//Modify the record
record.setFieldValue(fieldid,value);
ModifyRecordCommand modify = new ModifyRecordCommand(con);
modify.setSession(session);
modify.setRecord(record);
modify.execute();

Using CS4 - in the past PS set up a file for images saved for "web
I am using PS and Dreamweaver CS4. In the past, when saving an image for "web and devices", PS set up a separate file for saved images which then showed up in Dreamweaver. I have somehow lost PS in Dreamweaver. Instead, Photoshop puts the saved image back into the original file.PS is grayed out in Dreamweaver so cannot connect back to any images from Dreamweaver either. How do I get back to preferences I originally set up for saving images for web and devices. I have Windows XP Professional.
Save For Web is an Export, not a Save. That distinction means it saves out a copy, leaving the original as it was. The export destination is set in the SFW dialog, and is sticky. The next time it exports to the same location unless you change it again.
So you just need to point Dreamweaver to where your SFW exports go. That's all.
(Disclaimer - I don't use DW, but I assume it works like any other software).
