Help with multi-table mapping for one-to-many object inheritance
Hi,
I have posted on here before regarding this (Toplink mapping for one-to-many object inheritance but I am still having problems mapping my object model to my schema.
Object model
The Person and Organisation objects contain base information and have the primary keys person_id and organisation_id. It is important that there is no duplication of person and organisation records, no matter how many times they are saved in different roles.
There are two types of licenceholder in the problem domain, and the ILicenceHolder interface defines information and methods that are common to both. The PersonalLicenceHolder object represents one of these types of licenceholder, and is always a person, so this class extends Person and implements ILicenceHolder.
The additional information and methods that are required by the second type of licenceholder are defined in the interface IPremisesLicenceHolder, which extends ILicenceHolder. Premises licence holders can either be people or organisations, so I have two objects to represent these - PremisesLicenceHolderPerson which implements IPremisesLicenceHolder and extends Person, and PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation which implements IPremisesLicenceHolder and extends Organisation.
The model is further complicated by the fact that any single Person may be both a PersonalLicenceHolder and a PremisesLicenceHolderPerson, and may be so several times over. In this case, the same basic Person information needs to be linked to several different sets of licenceholder information. In the same way, any single Organisation may be a PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation several times over.
Sorry this is complicated!
Schema
I have Person and Organisation tables containing the basic information with the primary keys person_id and organisation_id.
I have tried to follow Donald Smith's advice and have created a Role table to record the specialised information for the different types of licence holder. I want the foreign keys in this table to be licenceholder_id and licence_id. Licenceholder_id will reference either organisation_id or person_id, and licence_id will reference the primary key of the Licence table to link the licenceholder to the licence. Because I am struggling with the mapping, I have changed licenceholder_id to person_id in an attempt to get it working with the Person object before I try the Organisation.
Then, when a new licenceholder is added, if the person/organisation is already in the database, a new record is created in the Role table linking the existing person/organisation to the existing licence rather than duplicating the person/organisation information.
Mapping
I am trying to use the toplink mapping workbench to map my PremisesLicenceHolderPerson object to my schema. I have mapped all inherited attributes to superclass (Person). The primary table that the attributes are mapped to is Person, and I have used the multi-table info tab to add Roles as an additional table and map the remaining attributes to that.
I have created the references PERSON_ROLES which maps person.person_id to roles.person_id, ROLES_PERSON which maps roles.person_id to person.person_id and ROLES_LICENCE which maps roles.licence_id to licence.licence_id.
I think I have put in all the relationships, but I cannot get rid of the error message "The following primary key fields are unmapped: PERSON_ID".
Please can somebody tell me how to map this properly?
Thank you.
I'm not positive about your mappings, but it looks like the Person object should really have a 1:M or M:M mapping to the Licenceholder table. This then means that your object model should be similar, in that Person object could have many Licenses, instead of being LicenceHolders. From the looks of it, you have it set up from the LicenceHolder perspective. What could be done instead if a LicenceHolder could have a 1:1 reference to a person data object, rather than actually be a Person. This would allow the person data to be easily shared among licences.
LicenceHolder1 has an entry in the LicenceHolder table and Person table. LicenceHolder2 also has entries in these tables, but uses the same entry in the Person table- essentially it is the same person/person_ID. If both are new objects, TopLink would try to insert the same person object into the Person table twice. I'm not sure how you have gotten around or are planning to get around this problem.
Since you are using inheritance, it means that LicenceHolder needs a writable mapping to the person.person_id field- most commonly done through a direct to field mapping. From the description, it looks like roles.person_id is a foreign key in the multiple table mapping, meaning it would be set based on the value in the person.person_id field, but the person.person_id isn't actually mapped in the object. Check to make sure that the ID attribute LicenceHolder is inheriting from person hasn't been remapped in the LicenceHolder descriptor to a different field.

Chris

Toplink mapping for one-to-many object inheritance
Hi
I currently have a Person object, extended by two specialist classes, PremisesLicenceHolder and PersonalLicenceHolder. I have mapped this in Toplink and it works fine saving a person into the specialist tables using the primary key person_id.
However, a single Person may be extended any number of times by either one or both of the two specialist types. So, a Person may be a PremisesLicenceHolder many times over for different premises and licences, and also a PersonalLicenceHolder several times over.
Is it possible to map this object model in Toplink avoiding duplicate person_id primary keys in the specialist tables?
ThanksHi,
I am happy that my object model fits the problem domain. The Person and Organisation objects contain base information and have the primary keys person_id and organisation_id. It is important that there is no duplication of person and organisation records, no matter how many times they are saved in different roles.
There are two types of licenceholder in the problem domain, and the ILicenceHolder interface defines information and methods that are common to both. The PersonalLicenceHolder object represents one of these types of licenceholder, and is always a person, so this class extends Person and implements ILicenceHolder.
The additional information and methods that are required by the second type of licenceholder are defined in the interface IPremisesLicenceHolder, which extends ILicenceHolder. Premises licence holders can either be people or organisations, so I have two objects to represent these - PremisesLicenceHolderPerson which implements IPremisesLicenceHolder and extends Person, and PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation which implements IPremisesLicenceHolder and extends Organisation.
The model is further complicated by the fact that any single Person may be both a PersonalLicenceHolder and a PremisesLicenceHolderPerson, and may be so several times over. In this case, the same basic Person information needs to be linked to several different sets of licenceholder information. In the same way, any single Organisation may be a PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation several times over.
Sorry this is complicated!
My initial idea for the schemas is to have Person and Organisation tables containing the basic information with the primary keys person_id and organisation_id. The Person table would have a one-to-many relationship with both the PersonalLicenceHolder table (pk: personalLicenceHolder_id, fk: person_id), and the PremisesLicenceHolderPerson table (pk: premisesLicenceHolderPerson_id, fk: person_id). There would also be a one-to-many relationship between the Organisation table and the PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation table (pk: premisesLicenceHolderOrganisation_id, fk: organisation_id).
I am flexible as to the design of my schema though, as I am happy to adopt any that will facilitate the Toplink Mapping.
Thanks for your help with this. -
Hello -
HELP!!!!! I need to join the following tables so I can compare the totals of colVal1+colVal2+colVal3 in tblIMP with ColTOTAL_NVal in AnotherDB.dbo.BL
Below are the important columns along with relationships from the tables. Is this even possible?
tblIMP
PK IMP integer
TNum
colVal1
colVal2
colVal3
colVal4
tblSC
PK IntCNum numeric(7,)
FK ISN numeric(8,0)
TNum
tblSD
PK IntSLNum numeric(7,0)
FK ISN
tblSH
PK ISN numeric(8,0)
Sh_ID nvarchar(25)
AnotherDB.dbo.BL
PK BL_ID integer
Sh_ID nvarchar(100)
ColTOTAL_NVal
TNum in tblIMP has duplicates (not for the row, but for TNum itself)
TNum in tblSC has duplicates also (not for the row, but for TNum itself)
tblSH has a one-to-many relationship with tblSC;
tblSH has a one-to-many relationship with tblSD;
tblSD has a one-to-many relationship with tblSC
tblSC is a recursive table – think container with many TNum in it
ANY HELP AT ALL WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!
JuniormintThanks for your response, Latheesh.
I would have posted the DDL, sample data and desired output, but I'm on a contract job and am unable to divulge that information. Is there anything that is not understandable with what I have posted? If so, please let me know.
Juniormint
You need to atleast explain us with some INDICATIVE data how your tables hold information and how you want the output to appear. Otherwise its hard for us by just looking at some table structure alone as we cant see your system neither knows your rules.

Deleting with multi-table mapping
I have an object that is mapped to two tables, i.e., one object is split across two tables. When I do a deleteallquery it only executes a delete for one of the tables:
DELETE FROM DIRECT2TABLESPART1
Inserts, selects, and updates all work correctly and manipulate both tables. Is there something explicit I have to do to get it to execute the delete for the other table?The class DeleteAllQuery should only be used internally by TopLink, it is not for external use. It is only used in TopLink from a 1-m mapping and only in the case where multiple tables and private relations do not exist such that the delete of all of the objects can be optimized.
TopLink does not currently provide delete-all/update-all style of queries, you must either delete the objects one by one, or issue custom SQL to delete a set of objects. -
F4 Help with text table in WD abap
Hi,
i am using country related input help with check table T005 in one of table and i want to display the country text along with country id in my table, f4 for country is coming however if i select country from f4 it showing country id in the input field of table.
i want to have country text also in one of my input fields in the table, i have seen f4 help works if we have explicit search help and using parameter assignment we can have id and text defaulted if we use same context for id and text fields, however in this case country table t005 has check table t005 where texts are stored in text table t005t so web dynpro abap is't picking up the texts??
please suggest how can i get the texts as soon as i select country in the f4??Hi Kranthi,
You merely have to have an internal table storing list of countries, which you only need to do once, e.g. on load of application (method WDDOINIT of COMPONENTCONTROLLER). In your view, you have to declare a method for event onEnter of the input field, but this method doesn't have to have any code. Your code will be in method WDDOBEFOREACTION, where you read get country name from country key. Once you've got country name, transfer value to a context attribute to which you've already mapped as a source for attribute value of the UI element.

On activating persistent class: There is no mapping for one or more fields
Hi all,
I'm using an ECC 6.0 system.
I've just created a persistent class and defined the persistence. When I try to activate the class activating fails and I get the message "There is no mapping for one or more fields."
I did not, in fact, use all the fields of the database table I defined the persistence on. When I do use all the fields activating the class works without a problem.
However, as far as I know it should be possible to select only some of the fields when defining the persistence (the only fields I have to select are all the key fields of the table and I've done this).
Has anybody encountered the same problem or has anybody any idea on this?
Cheers,
KathyHi Kathy,
this is exactly what I meant.
If you'd like, then you can also take a look at the documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b0/9d0a3ad259cd58e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
There under Mapping, you can find:
"You must map all columns of a database table to attributes. If you only want to manage some of the columns using Object Services, you must create a database view."
Making attributes private doesn't change the fact, that you still map all fields. If you have a lot of fields, which you don't want to map, then I will again suggest, that you define a DB-view. This will boost the performance of your implementation.
In case you need "quality 1st" performance, then I would suggest to use an ABAP implementation with internal tables, instead of the Persistent Service.

Please I need some help with a table
Hi All
I need some help with a table.
My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
Also has a total of the column.
my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?

Hello All,
I need some help with custom tables. I have created a custom table to maintain names and I also did table maintenance generation so that the user can maintain names in this table using SM30 transaction.
The question is, in my program on the selection screen when the user press F4 I need to display the values maintained in this custom table...
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks
PavanIf I understood you correctly, you have a program in which one or some of the selection screen fields refer to a custom database table field(s).
You want to implement a F4 functionality.
Fill an internal table with the values you want to show.
Call the function module 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' in the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MYPARAM as follows.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
retfield = MYITAB-FIELD
dynprofield = MYSELSCREENPARAM
dynpprog = sy-cprog
dynpnr = sy-dynnr
value_org = 'S'

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a
I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.

PS: netcfg must be installed.

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7.
You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

[solved]Need help with a bash script for MOC conky artwork.
I need some help with a bash script for displaying artwork from MOC.
Music folders have a file called 'front.jpg' in them, so I need to pull the current directory from MOCP and then display the 'front.jpg' file in conky.
mocp -Q %file
gives me the current file playing, but I need the directory (perhaps some way to use only everything after the last '/'?)
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
thanks, d

You should also quote the variables and output in double quotes to make the code robust, e.g.
filename="$(mocp -Q %file)"
dirname="${filename%/*}"
cp "$dirname"/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
Without the quotes, whitespace will break the code. Even if you don't expect whitespace in any of the paths, it's still good coding practice to include the quotes imo.
thanks for the tip.
here it is, anyhow:
#!/bin/bash
filename=$(mocp -Q %file)
dirname=${filename%/*}
cp ${dirname}/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
then in conky:
$alignr${execi 30 ~/bin/artc}${image ~/backup/art.jpg -s 100x100 -p -3,60}
