FAQ : BlackBerry Web Signals Technology for Third Party Content Services

hi,
back in October, 2008, RIM announced the new Web Signals technology
the official Press Release is here :
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=Hello&thread.id=56&jump=true
The following is my understanding of the Web Signals technology.
Get information : state of the art
To this day, users who want to get updated have many ways:
going on the website and look at the News page
subscribing to a newsletter and have notifications sent by email that stacks in regular mail flow of information
using an RSS feed (inside the BlackBerry Browser, or using a dedicated application like Viigo)
Why a new thing?
All these information channels are standard and have been used for years, but all these were not using the abilities of the BlackBerry technologies. So the idea was to create a new channel that would be pushed directly from server-side, but to a cool location.
So what is exactly? For the layman?
Web Signals is basically an icon on your home screen, with a little indicator so show when there are new things. It's the same indicator as on the Messages icon and the SMS icon.
How does it work?
you go on website that has created a web signal, and subscribe to it. It is usually free. The icon then appears on your Home Screen.
FAQs
1) seems like installing a Web Signal on BES is influenced by the IT policy. If you cannot install Themes or Applications, you can't install Web Signals
2) unsubscribing to Web Signals is easy but you must know how. You just have to go to the following page, using your BlackBerry device: http://push.na.blackberry.com/mss/PM_subList
3) you can move the Web Signals icon just like any other static icon on your Home Screen.

But do please keep in mind that security is a 2-way street...the human element play an equal part in that security, and you have failed at that in this situation, yet desire for the automated methods to still recover for you. Such just isn't possible, because your failure has exceeded the capabilities of the automated methods.
Hence, you likely need human intervention from an actual BB representative, which is not available in this forum (as discussed in the first link I gave you above). But, the methods to attempt to seek human intervention are posted within the 2nd link I gave you.

Support for Third Party Apps when they take your money and don't respond

Does Blackberry App do anything about third party apps that take your money and then don't give you what you paid for or respond? I paid $4.99 for Jeweled game from getempower, it downloaded and worked a bit, then it said I needed to Register. When I clicked Register, nothing happened, it just said "checking registriation" forever. I clicked on the Support Email provided and it returned an error saying "We get too much spam so you can't email us anymore, so please go to our website for support." So I went to the website www.getempower.com, and got to the Support form and filled it out, and it said "you cannot submit form until you choose the app" but when I tried to choose the app it wouldn't let me. I can't see anywhere else on the web page to contact them. So I paid for the game but it won't let me get to it. I looked at the reviews and it looks like several other people have had this same problem. I guess I thought buying something through App World would be trustworthy - App World, do you stand behind the vendors you allow to sell on your site?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Firstly, as a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. This site is not a channel for any formal communications with RIM. All support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...and that is the required path for formal support for issues such as yours (including requests for refund, if you choose to go that route). So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums.
But, have you tried removing and resinstalling the app? And/or clearing the AppWorld cache?
Good luck!

Re: Built-In Web Server Configuration vs Third-Party Web Server?

Hi Guys,
I am new to Coldfusion and I plan on setting it up within a Windows based environment for development purposes, I will eventually upload my files to a shared hosting service..
Could I get a pros vs cons comparison of configuring Coldfusion using the Built-In Web Server vs a Third-Party Webserver such as Apache?
My initial feeling is if I could keep the installation simple by using the self contained Built-In Web Server then why wouldn't I do that? I'm guessing there must be more to it. Please explain!
Thanks in advance!

The built-in web server is sufficient for local CF development. It's what I use nowadays.
If you have web server-specific implementation details as part of your application, like URL rewriting, you'll want to use whatever web server will be used in production.

Component included in SAP NetWeaver Foundation for Third Party

Hi Experts,
Now, our team discussing on how we can use integrate based on ABAP Technology to integrate Enterprise Systems.
Then, we discovered the License, that SAP delivered, "SAP NetWeaver Foundation for Third Party".
I heard this license allows client to develop custom applications on standalone NetWeaver Application Server(ABAP/Java).
I think that the ABAP instance contains SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA, and I have information that it allows to use also BRFplus,
but it is a little vague what function can be used.
Does anyone knows what component is included that license?
Especially, we want to know whather we can use NetWeaver Gateway with standalone NetWeaver Application Server or not.
Best Regards,
//Naoya Tsugo

Well, the box is checked for that, so I have to assume that it is included.
What is the confusion?

Rich Heilman

No MDB for third party JMS

Just when I getting to like oc4j I ran into this.
It is a beta document for 904 oc4j.
Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE
Services Guide
Release 2 (9.0.4)
Part No. B10326-01
April 2003
Beta Draft March 21, 2003 11:59 am
Third-Party JMS Providers
This section discusses the following third-party JMS providers and how they
integrate with OC4J using the resource provider interface:
¦WebSphere MQ
¦SonicMQ
¦SwiftMQ
Here are the operations that the resource provider interface supports:
¦Look up queue and topic with
java:comp/resource/providerName/resourceName
¦Send a message in EJB
¦Receive a message synchronously in EJB
The context-scanning resource provider class is a generic resource provider class
that is shipped with OCJ for use with third-party message providers.
Note: Oracle supports only single-phase commit semantics for
resource providers other than OJMS.
Note: OC4J 9.0.4 does not offer MDB support for third-party JMS
providers.
Note: For the OC4J 9.0.4 implementation, MDBs are integrated
with OC4J JMS and OJMS.
Well I need MDB capability with Mqseries, so it looks like
I am going to have to abandon ship with oc4j, and go with
a J2EE server which supports MDB and JMS the way it was intended to, and not only work with the Vendors JMS implementation. I checked this 10.0.4 preview and it is
the same way.
I would be tickled if someone could tell me this is not
the case, but I'm not expecting any answer that would
make an MDB work with Mqseries.

10.1.3 Developer Preview supports MQServies.
You can download the software at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/index.html
Look at the howto at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/howtos/how-to-mq-jms/doc/how-to-mq-jms.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/howtos/how-to-mq-jms/how-to-mq-jms.zip
The earlier releases support MQ Series but not in a transactional way.

Self made trigger for third party device?

Hi, everyone! I am new to labview programming.
Recently I have been trying to realize a function to trigger(or start) the third party device to do acquisition. I want to use the DAQmx to acquire one channel signal(which is continous pulse signal). And use this DAQmx acquired signal to trigger the third party device. I want each pulse signal to start the third party device to do acquisition.
Could someone give me some advice or suggestions? I would be grateful for any of your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Lynn
Thank you very much. I am glad to get your reply. First I am sorry for my lack of knowledge of Labview. I will learn and be more careful of using the terminology.
I have "NI PCI-6052E" as the hardware device. And I use "BNC-2120" connector block to connect the trigger source. I useonly one channel of 6052E to acquire the signal. This trigger signal actually is periodic pulse signal of voltage ranging from 0 to 5V. The pulse voltage is 0V, all other are 5V.
I give my answers to your questions as followings.
What kind of signal does the third party device require for triggering?Is it a physical signal like a voltage or current?
The third party device actually doesn't have to use this pulse trigger to start, I just want to make a customized trigger to sync the third party device with the pulse signal. And each pulse make the device start working. This pulse trigger is a voltage signal that can be linked to 6052E by BNC connectors.
Is it a message transmitted via USB, Ethernet, or tin cans and a string?
I am sorry, I don't get this. I guess it transmitted by BNC.
What is the timing of the signal you are acquiring?
I used the sample clock in DAQmx timing function.
How much latency can you tolerate between the acquired signal and the trigger to the third party device?
I actually can control the interval time between each pulse. I require this interval time to be more than 1s and during this time the third party device can do acquisition itself. So the latency I think should be in the range of ms.
Do you need to do any signal processing or analysis on the acquired signal to generate the trigger?
The trigger signal is pulse signal. Actually I don't know much about signal processing, I don't know what kind signal is better for my application. If you have any better idea, please let me know.
Thanks a lot.

PO document type for third party PO...?

Hello friends,
My client's requirement is that third party PO should have different document type, say ZTRD?
I tried to configure the same with PR and PO doc types. I created new PO type ZTRD. I maintained the combination of PR doc type NB with item cat S to PO doc type ZTRD with item cat S. I also deleted the standard config i.e. combination PR doc type NB with item cat S to PO doc type NB with item cat S.
I created third party SO which created third party PR (doc type NB). But when I tried to convert this PR into PO, still with above config, I am getting error - Doc. type/item cat. NB/S (requisition) <-> NB/S (purch. order) error.
Please help me to configure the Z doc type for third party PO.
Thanks in Advance,
Pat.

Hi
Please try the following, do not delete the standard settings
1) Create Z document type for PR and assign this document type to relevant Schedule line Category ( CS for example) in SD
2) Create Z document type for PO and keep only Item category S & Z document type for the Item category S created for PR.
Hope it helps.
Thanks/Karthik

PO Creation for third party sales

Hi
We have the scenario Third party sales and High sea sales which is already in use (already configured) , where PR getting generated automatically .
But client requirement is they want the PO to generate automatically by the system the moment i save the sales order .
Where is the setting in the SAP , where system will generate the PO automatically instead of PR
Please suggest

Hi,
Go to VOV7
Select third party item category which u r using in sales order >>> Deatils >>> under transaction flow >>> Tickmark to CREATE PO AUTOMATIC.
If you activate this field, the system automatically generates both a purchase order requisition for third-party schedule lines as well as a purchase order in the background when you save the sales order.
However u can not create PO directly.

Logical Sys Name for Business system in SLD for Third Party

Hi !!
I have little doubt what will be the logical system name for creating Business systems in SLD for third party?
thanks
Gowri

Hi Gowri,
sorry, i dont agree with the other answers. The logical system name is required for ALE partner finding. If you dont want to communicate with IDocs you dont need it. If you want to send messages from third party system to R/3 via IDoc adapter, then you should (can) give a name. It can be configured in IB directory as well (adapter specific identifiers). Choose any name, this name will be used for the partner agreement in R/3.

Udo

Process demand for third party direct shipment

Hello ,
I need help in below given areas. in our rollout client is given statement of work like this.
1)     Demand transfer to vendors
2)     Reminder processing
3)     Process demand for third party direct shipment
Please can you explain me about these area, how it works with example. it is very benificial for us.
Regards
sapman

Hi Sapera,
There can be 3 typse of trading scenarios
1. 3rd party with Shipping notification : Where in u create sales order and create PO against the PR which si triggered in SAles order adn hen MIGO followed by MIRO and Billing. Here Billing to the end customer can be doen before MIRO because the billign quantity considered is based on the goods Receipt( MIGO) quantity. Many a times you might have your personnels or soem mechanisms to cross verify the delivered quanity as some times the vendor might not dispatch the quantiy in the PO. Here the MIGO doen si consumption posting/Non valuated GR as physically it doenot come into your stock and therefore is not shown in our stock. ITem category used in TAS
2. 3rd party without shiiping notfication ; Here MIGO is not done and billig ncan be done only after MIRO as the billing quantity is based on the Invocie receipt quantity in MIRO
3. Bought in items/ Dealer Sales : Here you bring in the materials from the vendor to our depot plant and then dispatch it to the customer . Here PR is geenrated from sales order followed by PO and MIGO. After MIGO you have to do PGI followed by Billing. MIRO doesnot have any impact on the PGI or Billing. Item category used is TAB
But in all the three instancesthe configurational changes happen in schedule line cateogry and the account assignment which is maintiend in item category and for automatic determination of 2 different schedule line categories we need to maintian 2 different item categories alothough item category settings are almost the same.
Hope this was helpful in giving you some insights on the trading processes

Nithin

Account Assignment Category for third party process.

Hi ,
I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
Kindly help me.
Ram.

You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

Hi
Please find enclosed the details on third party.
Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.
10. Billing      *-- Seema Dhar

Third party Return Process
If the vendor grants you a credit memo on a quantity or a value basis, you can then send this credit memo directly to your customer.
The billing type Third-party credit memo (G2S) is available for this. The billing type Third-party credit memo works with the item category TASG (third-party credit memo item). The Billing-relevance indicator F is set in Customizing for Sales for this item category. This means that the cost is not created. In Customizing for Sales, the item category TASG is set at item level in copying control for the billing type G2S (copying control sales document by billing document) as the target item category (source: TAS-> Target:> TASG.)
Process Flow
Create a billing documente with billing type Third-party credit memo (for further information, see the section Creating a billing document in the Billing document). Enter the third-party order as a document still to be processed. The quantities are automatically removed from the invoice.
The above is the process for giving a credit memo which can be adapted for return goods.
Hope it will help you

Cannot close sales order for third party sales

Hello Gurus,
I cant seem to close a third party sales order even after it has been delivered and the incoming reciept match the sales order as well as purchase requisition or purchase order. at first I thought it was the difference in the unit of measure b/w the delivered products and the ordered products, but that is not the case because even when they are still the same and the quantities match I still have an issue and when I run VA05 (list of sales order) the sales order for the third party sales still shows up. An example is sales order XXX / PO XYZ/ Inv XYY u2013 ordered 45,000, shipped 39,980), we resolve it with the following steps below
1. change the PO quantity to match the invoice quantity
2. the requisition then re-opened itself automatically.
3. I then changed the requisition and marked it closed.
4. I then could go to the sales order and change the order quantity to match the billed and invoiced quantity. The rejection code 52 did not work u2013 I received a hard error: PO XYZ must be deleted before the line item could be rejected.
This is a whole lot of steps to perform just to correct 1 backorder. The reason that it had to be corrected is that the sales order mfg line stays on the Billing Due list and does not clear it self out unless you perform the steps above.
Also like I said even when all the quantities are the same I still have this issue so is ther any thing I can do to resolve this issue in configuration or otherwise and also we are using the satndard item category "TAS" for third party sales.
I will appreciate you contribution and help to resolve this matter
Thanks

Unfortunately, all the steps need to be performed to close the status. I think even giving tolerances will not close the status. If it is a regular sale order, a small BDC program may be written to change the sale order quantity to match the invoice quantity. Since its a third party and there are too many documents which are involved in the process using ABAP programs is not a convenient option.
Regards,
GSL.
