How technically Tutorial 1

Hello Friends,
   I am new to ABAP web dynpro. I have done the toturial one and its work fine. I just pasted the coding from the tutorial in the method WDDOINIT.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <SFLIGHT> via lead selection
NODE_SFLIGHT = WD_CONTEXT->GET_CHILD_NODE( NAME = `SFLIGHT_NODE` ).
bind internal table to context node <SFLIGHT>
NODE_SFLIGHT->BIND_TABLE( ITAB_SFLIGHT ).
I would like to know the above coding how does it work.
NODE_SFLIGHT is Ref to IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE where method is GET_CHILD_NODE. but not able to see the coding inside the method how its works.
give me a brief explation how does the above coding works?
Thanks,
John.

Hi,
    see once when you create a view and add the context nodes and attibutes into it. then Webdynproframework creates a class of type view you created and methods will be created internally and you will not be able to see the code.
and the code works in the following way.
1. to display any values on the table(for ex the Sflight in your case) you need to create the refrence to the Node where you create in your case it is 'SFLIGHT_NODE'. but if you have two nodes 'NODE1' and 'NODE2' in that case you need to specify the Node name under which you will be having the Table UI element.
2. binding the Values form the internal table to the Context Attributes this concept is what is called as data binding
cheers

  • Error while trying to create tree using same EMP how to tutorial

    Hi,

    Hi Kart,
    If you have the sample EMP table, the DEPTNO values are 10, 20 or 30.
    Did you specify a root value for the tree?

  • UIScrollBar - how? tutorial doesn't work

    I don't know what be added to the Flash 8 UIScrollBar
    manual's examples, skimpy as it is, but if so, what?
    I can't get the example to work. I of course put in a path to
    a real text file rather than their URL (helpful, guys).
    when I do a test movie, the text appears and scrolls, but no
    scrollbar appears.
    I even imported the StandardComponents.fla and copied the
    ScrollBar assets folder into my library.
    nobody said what you are supposed to do after that. I would
    be happy to have the default scrollbar.
    I even used actionscript to set the scrollbar object's
    graphics symbols. nothing.

    I have that with this code
    // Requires:
    // - UIScrollBar component in library
    // Create text field.
    this.createTextField("txt", 10, 0, 0, 600, 480);
    txt.wordWrap = true;
    this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "sc", 20);
    // Set the target text field for the scroll bar.
    sc.enabled=true;
    sc.visible=true;
    sc.setScrollTarget(txt);
    //size it to match the text field.
    sc.setSize(29, txt._height);
    //move it next to the text field.
    sc.move(txt._x+txt._width, txt._y);
    // Load text to display and define onData handler.
    sc.upArrowUpName('uparrow');
    sc.upArrowOverName('uparrow');
    sc.upArrowDownName('uparrow');
    sc.downArrowUpName('downarrow');
    sc.downArrowOverName('downarrow');
    sc.downArrowDownName('downarrow');
    sc.scrollTrackName('track');
    sc.scrollTrackOverName('track');
    sc.scrollTrackDownName('track');
    sc.thumbTopName('thumb');
    sc.thumbMiddleName('thumb');
    sc.thumbBottomName('thumb');
    sc.thumbGripName('thumb');
    var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
    if (src != undefined) {
    txt.text = src;
    } else {
    txt.text = "Error loading text.";
    my_lv.load("
    http://www.jesusnjim.com/code/gpl.txt");
    but all the customizations to the scrollbar do not work as
    advertised. I remember reading that in order to customize a
    scrollbar, you must draw each of 30 pieces manually (ugh).
    now if only I could scroll graphic buttons. I can't even wrap
    my head around that one.

  • How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like?  Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

    Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
    For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
    I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
    I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase.  I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
    1.  After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below.  Why?
    2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
       This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
    File
    > Create
       > PDF from scanner
         > Custom scan
           > Color Mode: Black and White
           > Append to existing file
             > Browse
               > Select file
                 > Scan
    This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan.  Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
    Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option.  Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
    Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance).  Please assist.
    3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
       Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
    3a See Error.  Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
    3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White.  Why?
    3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
    4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product?  The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product.  Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online.  I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
    5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options?  Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities?  Even after clicking "Ready to contact us?  Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
    If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them.  Regardless, please advise.  Thanks!

  • How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

    How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

    This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
    Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
    If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • How Do I get My Movie to Work in Player

    Hi Guys
    Can anyone guide me please to a basic how to tutorial in plain English?
    I have a movie that I exported from PremierePro CS5 into flv format and imported into Flash CS5. It opened a player and I followed the steps with local  external video playback component. Fine, it plays in the test movie. I saved and exported to another PC where I want to put the file into a Dreamweaver (CS3) page to upload to our site. The trouble is when I test the file on the other PC, it only opens a blank swf page with no player.
    Can anyone tell me how to create a player that will play on a webpage?
    Regards,
    Graham

    I cannot seem to make any sense of creating a player. Does anyone know if there are there any simple step by step tutorials out there?

  • Not sure to get into BI or not, analysing how difficult it is

    Hello friends,
    Please provide some information to make an informed decision.
    I am currently working as a SAP Operator where my duties include
    •     Monitoring the SAP systems (sm37,db02,sm66,su01) majority of them being BASIS transactions
    •     XI monitoring via SXMB_MONI, checking inbound and outbound queues (smq1, smq2)
    Although my question has nothing to do with my job responsibilities, I wanted you to know my work experience
    I have 3 months of some experience in SAP SD end user….
    The other day I told my friend I intend to do SAP SD certification to work as an SD consultant and he goes why don’t you get into BI, as it is very much in demand which made me thinking that he is right.
    He justified it by telling SD has been since long and BI sits on Net weaver platform which is a new technology probably around 2003.
    In an article by Jon reed he recommends it as a hot skill to have for 2008
    My question is
    •     What skills should one have to be a good BI Consultant (like good logic, understanding etc)
    •     How technical is BI
    •     Is programming involved with BI?
    •     Is it too difficult or you could get along with it in time?
    •     What is your recommendation and suggestion?
    Thanks heaps for reading the above….

    Hi Rasiq,
    Warm Welcome to BW...
    • What skills should one have to be a good BI Consultant (like good logic, understanding etc)?
    -->BW Consultant should be able to understand the Business first and then he should be capable in create/maintain Business logics. The main thing is he/she should understand the Functionality of the Business well and Implement the same with his BI skills.
    • How technical is BI?
    -->BI is both technical and functional one. One should develop logic how to generate reports based on the implementation of the business. You need to write some ABAP routines which help your work more effective.
    • Is programming involved with BI?
    --> Yes, Programming is involved in BI. As i said, ABAP routines play major part in BI. You need not to know much about ABAP but little knowledge about that is necessary.
    • Is it too difficult or you could get along with it in time?
    --> One may face difficulty during initial stages but if they get command over the tool, you can have Fun at work. You can easily cope up with the tool as you have some experience in SAP other modules.
    • What is your recommendation and suggestion?
    I suggest you to attend BI Training by SAP Labs which helps you the most and you can get the most of it. The duration of the training will be 5 Weeks if you go for the whole BI. For time being, refer the below URL's which helps u lot.
    First you need to concentrate on Modelling part. For that i hope these links will helps you.

  • New particles tutorial

    Hey All,
    Nipsey pointed out a method for a nice type treatment using particles, so here's a quick tutorial.
    Please let me know if you find any typos or mistakes. Thanks!

    Specialcase, this was an excellent tutorial and easy to follow. I really appreciated you including some of the options at the end and encouraging "experimentation."
    A lot of our work is for the web and I wanted to see how the tutorial's outcome would translate into a 320X240 window...and it does nicely. The initial setup was created using NTSC-DV. Exported to QT. We use Cleaner to encode for the web so I pulled the clip into Cleaner, set for 320X240 using Sorenson 3...it worked perfectly and looks great. With a little tweaking I can reduce the size and set in the lower third for a 320X240 and it should show up nicely with the effect.

  • How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

    Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

    Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
    I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

  • How can I incorporate several video and audio clips into one iMovie project?

    Hello all.  Basically, I'm trying to solve a problem before it becomes one.  I'm going to put together a short iMovie project for a thank-you dinner.  Several people from out-of-town will not be able to make the dinner.  I want to give them the opportunity to "speak" by having them put together a short video or audio clip.  I then need to gather up all the clips and put them together in one iMovie project.  I guess I'm looking for some assistance in terms of format, what types of files/formats to use, etc.  I've done a few movies (mainly from still pictures -- glorified slideshows with music).  But, I'm still a relative neophyte when it comes to the computer world.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  (feel free to point to a "How to " tutorial if there's a good one out there). 
    Thanks.

    your problem will not be the process of 'glueing stuff together'
    follow advice given here
    http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
    under 'Getting started' or follow the 'Video' tutorials ...
    the real task is, to make all clips readable for usage in iM ...
    before making you a technician on video-codecs:
    download and install the free tools Mpeg Streamclip and Perian.org
    you have to relaunch your Mac after doing so...-
    BEFORE adding any of your external sources into an Event, use Streamclip to manually convert to DV, or if source is HDef, to Quicktime/Appleintermediate.
    the resulting files should import flawless into iM, proceed as usual.
    iM 'swallows' a lot of formats, so it could be this manual conversion isn't needed ... 
    don't hesitate to come back here, if probs occur ...

  • Tutorial builder dose not show images

    every thing works fine until I load the tutorial player and connect to cs5. look for the resulting tutorial I have just made and everything except the before and after pictures are showing.
    If I open the html file in internet explorer everything works except the linking with CS5. The only error I get at this stage is Internet Explorer restricts this web page from running scripts or ActiveX controls, which i can overcome if i Allow blocked content.
    has any one any Ideas on how to go forward on this.

    Hi Landailyn and Alexander,
    Sorry you are having trouble. Please make sure that you are using the latest version of Tutorial Builder. We released an update on October. 27th.
    Let's try the following steps and see what happens.
    Part 1: Create a test tutorial with Tutorial Builder
    1. Open Photoshop and open the Tutorial Bulder panel.
    2. Click Start in the TB Panel
    3. Open an image
    4. Say "yes" when the dialog asks you if you want to save the image as the before image
    5. Convert it to Black and Whilte through Image>Mode>Grayscale
    6. Click Done in the TB Panel
    7. Say "yes" when the dialog asks you if you want to save the tutorial.
    8. Say "yes" when the dialog asks you if you want to save the black and white image as the after image
    9. In the "Save Tutorial" dialog, under title put "BW" and for Save To, click on the browse icon with the three dots. This will open a File System browser. Go to your Desktop and create a folder called "TBtest". Click Ok. This will save this new tutorial in the TBTest folder.
    Part 2: Check that the created tutorial includes all of the right parts
    1. open the system file browser
    2. Open the folder Desktop/TBTest/BW/html
    In that folder you should see
    BW.html - this is your tutorial
    main.css
    main_ie.css
    assets/
    icons/
    images/
    js/
    3. Open the BW.html file in your favorite browser (IE for you guys) and see how the tutorial looks
    4. Look in the images folder and make sure that there are two images there - before.png and after.png
    5. Look in the assets folder and make sure that you see the image you used in your tutorial
    Part 3: Open it in Tutorial Player and try sending the recorded commands to Photoshop
    1. Open Tutorial Player
    2. Connect to Photoshop by following the directions in Tutorial Player
    3. Click the Browse button and havigate to Desktop/TBtest/BW/html/BW.html
    4. Click on the "Show me in Photoshop" link under step 2. This should cause the file you used to make the tutorial to be open in your Photoshop
    5. Click on the "Show me in Photoshop" link under step 3. This should turn the image in Photoshop to black and white.
    Please go through these steps and let me know what works and what doesn't work.
    Thanks!

    Naomi N
    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."

    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."

    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"

    Model
    Jinchun Chen: "Good article. Thank you!"
    GO: "One of the best Wiki Articles ever! Thanks buddy!"
    DRC: "-- This is a great article which provides in-depth information on internals of Online & Offline rebuild index and Transaction logging. -- The following statement need to be re-written for more clarity. “The less logging can be
    attributed to the fact that no information about page allocation is logged information about de-allocation is logged please see below figure 13. Also if you compare amount of record returned in this case we had output containing just 64 rows while offline
    index rebuild had ____ rows.” -- Overall, a great article, thoroughly enjoyed reading it."

    Naomi N
    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
    Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
    Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
    GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""

    GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"
    Manoj Pandey: "I like the idea, but it took me some more time to understand the overall logic as I'm new to Geo datatypes, Thanks."
    JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
    Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
    Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"

    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
    Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."
