Getting Source Data in Canonical Format

All -
I understand that in order to change the date format in xmlp we have to have the source data in the canonical format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI:SS
My question is - How do I get my source data into this format? When I try to alter my session or do a to_char on a date column as follows:
alter session set nls_date_format="yyyy-mm-ddThh24:mi:ss"
or
select to_char(sysdate,'yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss') from dual;
I get the message that the date format is not recognized. I'm sure that I'm just missing something simple, but any help that could be provided will be greatly appreciated.

Hey BigD
The XSD format is not recognized by the db ... Im chasing that up, they docs appear to say otherwise.
You have some alternatives:
1. If you are not bothered about the time portion you can just get the YYYY-MM-DD format and it will be formatted correctly by XMLP
2. Use the Data Template engine from XMLP to get the data, it will format the date for you.
3. Nasty but you could do something like:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY-MM-DD')||'T'||to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI:SS') from DUAL
If/When I get an answer from the db team on any function I'll let you know.

How to get pixel data in the format I want

I'm writing a format plug-in and am having some difficulty getting the pixel data from photoshop in the format I want. From what I gather from the documentation in the SDK I need to specify the following to tell photoshop what format to deliver my pixels in:
theRect
loPlane
hiPlane
data
colBytes
rowBytes
planeBytes
planeMap
I specify all of these appropriately for a 32 bit rgba8888 uncompresssed image and it works just fine... but ONLY if the image I load in the first place matches the format I am requesting. If the image I load is some other format, like a 256 color image with a palette, gFormatRecord->advanceState() just fails with a nebulous -30500 error code (formatBadParameters) instead of delivering pixel data.
So my big question is this: Is Photoshop capable of doing the conversion and delivering the pixels to my format plug-in in my requested format? If it CAN do it, what might I be doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!!

You noticed you can use the planeMap[] array to permute the channels. It's not so obvious that Photoshop should offer generalised bit depth/colour space/palette processing. It can be argued that's the role of the plugin itself: to mediate between Photoshop's native image data (which it does offer conveniently) and whatever arbitrary image format the user requires. At least, that's what most of
my plugins do.
Sure, there are a few obvious conversions, but you have to stop somewhere... Sooner or later you'll be implementing stuff on the Photoshop side that
should be in a plugin. I don't have a big problem with the line drawn in the current API.

Query Engine to get Instance Data from Binary format to actual format

Hi all,
In OBPM 10GR3 is there a way to get Engine Instance Data contained in the table PPROCINSTANCE in the BPM Engine DB using the Fuego API in the catalog?
I could not find any method?
Is there any?
I want to get the column INSTANCEDATA which is a BLOB and then get values from that BLOB which obviously would turn into a Binary Object inside BPM .
So we can retrieve data from that Binary Object?
Edited by: user8752903 on Jul 11, 2011 2:12 PM

You can use PAPI
InstanceInfo istinfo = processSession.processGetInstance("/TestProcess#Default-1.0/1234/0");
DynamicObject dynObject = (DynamicObject) istinfo.getVariable("instanceVariable", Locale.ENGLISH);

How can i get Date in this format - 04/Feb/2008

I need to get the date in this format - 04.Feb/2008. How can i get it using Java coding..
java.sql.date
Please reply to this..

Hi,
Are you running this code in a java file which is running on your local system???
Is this is webapp/webdynpro???
If this is a web app/webdynpro and if its deployed on the server, it should take the time of the system(server) where the app is deployed.

How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi John,
create a veriable :
data: v_date type char10.
then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
this might solve your problem.

Hemant.

Ack file date and time format is same as in source xml format

Hi...All,
1) my scenario is file-rfc-file using BPM,
we are getting file in xml format from source along with timestamp and this data will be going to R/3 and the acknowledgement (success or failure) file will be sending back to source system.
in this sceneario we have to fulfill in the follwing client requirement
File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Is it possible to make it as the following? if it is possible
could u please let me know how to fulfill the follwing requirement.
ACK File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Where <same File1 date and time> format = u2018YYYYMMDDhhmmssu2019 .
2) Is the XML file name visible in the SAP-XI monitoring screen and will it help to trace the messages?
thanks in advance,
Pasi.

Hi,
I didnot under stand your first question coulf you be more specfic.
2. Ans : In general , we will follow the below steps
--First we we check for the file is picked or no, if not see the Sender side CC parameters like mode and path details
--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
--if success in SXMB_MONI then we need to check in RWB as above channel monitor now select the receiver side CC
If no errors then check for output file is placed intarget or not
Please reward points if it helps
Thanks

Source Data file format for FDM

Hi,
I am new in FDM and have couple of question on data loading.. We are using FDM to load the data in Essbase. Please help me on these-
Question 1:
In source data file, suppose, we have around 300 account members and around 100 PO numbers. There are multiple 'PO numbers' records for each 'account member'.
As per our requirement, we need to sum up the all values for 'PO number' column for each account.
For example, suppose, we will get data file as below. Here, Important point is, I don't have dimension for 'PO number ' in Essbase. I will get the accounts data corresponding to 'PO number' but there is no dimension in Essbase to store data at 'PO number' level.
Account column PO number Actual Estimated
A001 P0123_10 10.00 15.00
A001 P0123_20 20.00 25.00
A002 P0123_30 30.00 35.00
A002 P0123_40 40.00 45.00
A002 P0123_50 50.00 55.00
A003 P0123_60 60.00 65.00
A003 P0123_70 70.00 75.00
A003 P0123_80 80.00 85.00
and so on
Now we want to sum up the data for each Account member i.e
Account column Actual Estimated
A001 30.00 40.00
A002 120.00 135.00
and so on ---
As per my understanding, While defining the *'Import format'* for this source data file , we will not consider the column for 'PO number' and will define the mapping with merge option. Hence, multiple record for each account will be accumulated.
Please suggest me on this.. Is my understanding correct or how will handle this type of scenario?
Question2:
Suppose, we have data for multiple scenarios ( i.e. Actual, Estimated etc) in one excel sheet, which will be used in FDM as a source file? As per admin guide, we have POV for Category and data will be loaded for that selected POV only. In this case, will FDM consider the data for each selected POV scenario or how FDM will function in this case... do we need to have separate files for each scenario...
Please help me to solve these problems...
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

QUESTION1: If you ignore the PO field in the import you will get the accumulating behaviour you describe. Not sure what you mean by using merge in the mapping. The default behaviour of FDM is to accumalate all non-unique lines following the mapping process you don't have to set anything
QUESTION2: Data will only be loaded to the selected Category in the POV if you have data in the file that needs to be targetted at a different scenario you will need a seperate load file containing that data and choose the alternate category in a seperate manual workflow process

EDI format i'm getting source documents..

Hi
from my source i'm getting EDI documents.. i need to load this data into IDOCS in R/3 system .. ..but here i got one doubt.. the source format is always EDI format only.. then why again they are choosing XI integration.. with out XI also dircetly we can load those edi documents through EDI sub system....
here what is the adavatages.. by using XI insted of directly load the data into R/3 system..
Thanks
Babu

Hi,
For understanding the EDI file we need to use the third party seeburger adapter like As2,X400,OFTP.
We need to write a module program in the module parameter tab of adapter which does the conversion of EDI to XML and XML to EDI so that it will be understood by XI.
Refer all my threads which gives you more idea.
Refer this forum which is replied by me which talka about the configuration which need to be done for AS2 adapter. This is very helpful:

Seeburger adapters like OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.
The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.
Supported EDI formats include:
ANSI
EDIFACT
INHOUSE
IDOC
XML Schema
XML DTD
CSV
Delimited Data
positional data
SWIFT
EANCOM
and many more.
See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

Unable to get the data in RSA 3 for the data source 2LIS_03_BX.

Hi Xperts,
we are loading the data sources(2LIS_03_BX) by using MCNB transaction but not getting the data in it.
can any one please tell me how to load the data into it with step by step process.

Hi,
To see the data in RSA3 you need to do the setup of data for the particular data source through SBIW transaction.
The Rsa3 transaction displays the data present in the setup tables of the particular data source.
