How to call variable SlideID

Hi all,
I recently started using the export function for captions for translating purpose. That´s when I first saw the variable "Slide ID". It´s apparantly not a default user or system variable but I would like to use the Slide ID as reference for bigger projects as it´s unique and doesn´t change unlike slide number. I´ve tried messing around with the available system variables, adding SlideID instead of SlideNumber and stuff like but no luck so far. Does anyone know how to call that particular variable?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
goldmundig

Aside from using AS3 in a widget, I'm not sure how you could accomplish it. If you're using AS3, you can access the movieXML variable off of the maintimeline and that XML has unique identifiers for the slides as well. But that only helps you in widget scenarios. Maybe you could concatenate the slide label with some static text for a meaningful unique ID? Possibly create a variable for each slide and assign the value on slide entry?... probably more work than it's worth. It would be nice to have the Slide ID exposed...

How to call variable which name is stored in a temporary table...

Hi there!
Got a simple (?) question. I want to make an allocation like that:
n#.temp_z1 := temp#; with the only Problem that the name of the variable is stored in another variable or a temporary table:
temp#(1) := temp_z1; at the moment I have absolutly no idea how to resolve this Problem =( Need something like that (which don't work):
n#.temp#(1) := temp#; anybody there who could help me? Thanks in advance

I think with dynamic SQL it won't work. Isn't there any solution just to handle this simple problem? =(
ok, some more details to my Program:
I have a table named "NN2_input" which will be filled dynamically. For the filling, a start and a finish number are given, and for every number between this, 3 columns will be created. Looks like that:
min = 3; max = 5;
=> Columns:
Z3_Gas, Z3_Dauer, Z3_Temp, Z4_Gas, Z4_Dauer, Z4_Temp, Z5_Gas, Z5_Dauer, Z5_Temp
after the structure of the table is given, it should be filled. To see which columns are given, I select them in a temporary table:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE nn2_input_filling is
   type tab is table of VARCHAR2(15);
   gas#    tab;
   dauer# tab;
   out#    tab;
BEGIN
   SELECT column_name BULK COLLECT INTO dauer# FROM sys.user_tab_columns
     WHERE table_name = 'NN2_INPUT' AND SubStr(column_name,4,5) = 'DAUER' ORDER BY column_name;
   SELECT column_name BULK COLLECT INTO gas# FROM sys.user_tab_columns
     WHERE table_name = 'NN2_INPUT' AND SubStr(column_name,4,3) = 'GAS' ORDER BY column_name;
   SELECT column_name BULK COLLECT INTO out# FROM sys.user_tab_columns -- gibt auch ein Z7_OUT2 zurück o.O
     WHERE table_name = 'NN2_INPUT' AND SubStr(column_name,4,3) = 'OUT' ORDER BY column_name;
END;to fill this table, I must assign each field with this value. And that's where my Problem occurs...
so I know all of the columns except the Numbers...

How to Call variable value in OLEDB Command SSIS

Hi ,
I am facing one issue in SSIS OLEDB Command.under OLEDB Command there is sql update query
    UPDATE dbo.ArchiveBBxFbapp
    SET LatestVersion = 0
    WHERE BBxKey = ?
dbo.ArchiveBBxFbapp is the name of the table, which I want to change by dynamically on fly.
table name I am getting from variable .
I want to take same variable value instead of hard coded table name in update statement.
suggest me the correct command
thanks and regards,
Vipin jha
Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCP

For that you've to first store the query itself inside a variable after setting EvaluateAsExpression as true.
Then use expression as below
"UPDATE dbo." + @[User::TableName] +
"SET LatestVersion = 0
WHERE BBxKey = " + @[User::ColumnValue]
Use option as SQL command from variable for data access mode property
Then map the variable containing query above inside this OLEDB command.

Hi,
When you are using quantity or currency fields, you have to mentiong the reference fileds in a tab called CURRENCY/QUANTITY FILEDS in the GLOBAL DATA node.
Specifying a Currency or Quantity Reference
Use
In the ABAP Dictionary, you can assign a currency or quantity field to a table field. In the output of these fields, the system can then insert the relevant currency or unit:
·        If the value field is in the same table as the corresponding currency or quantity field, the system recognizes the reference automatically, and formats the value field according to the currency or unit in the assigned field.
·        If the value field is in a different table from the currency or quantity field, the system cannot recognize this reference automatically.
In the second case, you must indicate this reference to the system in the form, to ensure that the value field is formatted correctly.
Procedure
You want to assign a currency or quantity field in one table (for example, CURTAB) to a value field in another table (for example, VALTAB).
       1.      Create the reference to the currency field by entering the following values:
-         Field Name: VALTAB-VALUE, if this is the value field of VALTAB that you want to display.
-         Reference Field: CURTAB-CURRENCY, which is the currency field of CURTAB.
       2.      Under Data Type, specify whether the data type is a currency or quantity.
Result
In the output of the PDF-based print form, the system formats the value field VALTAB-VALUE according to the assigned value in the currency or quantity field of the global variable CURTAB-CURRENCY.

Please note that this is an update of a previous post on the same topic called "Object scope".
Thank you all very much.

No, i dont know how to call other than main methods from other classes
And one more doubt i have i.e. Like in C can we see the execution of the program like how the code is being compiled step by step and how the value of the variable changes from step to step like(Add Watch).........

How to use variables with

table as variable, but I don't know how to use variables with
DESCRIBE TABLE (or if this is possible).

Hi,

How to call a Java class from another java class ??

Hi ..... can somebody plz tell me
How to call a Java Class from another Java Class assuming both in the same Package??
I want to call the entire Java Class (not any specific method only........I want all the functionalities of that class)
Please provide me some slotuions!!
Waiting for some fast replies!!
Regards
Smita Mohanty

Hi Smita,
you just need to create an object of that class,thats it. Then you will be able to execute each and every method.
e.g.
you have developed A.java and B.java, both are in same package.
in implementaion of B.java
class B
            A obj = new A();
             //to access A's methods
             A.method();
            // to access A's variable
            //either
           A.variable= value.
           //or
           A.setvariable() or A.getvariable()

How to reference variable values in a BW Web Template

Hi All,
I'm having a problem which I hope someone can help me with.
OVERVIEW
I've developed a BW Web template with (among other things) a TEXTELEMENTS Web Item and a TABLE Web Item. I've enhanced the context menu so that when a user selects a row within the TABLE, they can start a SEM-BPS Web interface (which displays a manual planning layout). I've used the 'How to call a BPS Web Interface with Predefined Selections' document to get the basic mechanism working. The JavaScript function I've written successfully passes the variable (DFCOST_PL) value to the planning layout.
THE PROBLEM
The problem is twofold....
1. I need to pass the value for a variable (FEPCVERS) to the layout. However I do not know how to make reference to the variable in JavaScript. The variable is available within the TEXTELEMENTS_1 object but how do I address it?
2. On a similar vein, I need to pass the value for a field within the table row to the planning layout. The TABLE_2 object contains the fields (DFCOST_PL and DFGROUPS). When the user selects a line the value for DFCOST_PL is available to the JavaScript function (ZAJT_JS_Maintain_Rules) in the 'parameter1' field. However, how do I make the DFGROUPS field available?
Below is the HTML code for my Web Template. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Hi Heike,
Thanks for your response. The example you gave me works nicely. I've tried to use the same concept on a FILTER object, but it does not seem to work. I declared the object as below:
</span>
<span style="display:none;visibility:hidden" id="0PROFIT_CTR_value">
<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW">
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM">
         <param name="NAME" value="FILTER_1">
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER">
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1">
         <param name="HIDDEN" value="X">
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="">
         <param name="PRESENTATION" value="KEY">
         <param name="ITEM_FILTER_IOBJNM_1" value="0PROFIT_CTR">
         <param name="PRESENTATION_1" value="KEY">
         <param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X">
         ITEM:            FILTER_1
</object>
</span>
and then use
document.getElementById('0PROFIT_CTR_value').innerHTML.
However, the value returned is blank. Is there a different method required for filters?
Also, you mentioned that to access the second variable I will need to use the table interface. Is this difficult to do? I'm booked on the NET050 (Developing Web Applications) course, but it's not until late November. Do you think that this course would cover this kind of processing?

How to call business service from xquery transformation in OSB ??

Hi All,
How to call business service from xquery transformation in OSB ??
I need to assign the response variable of Business Service to a target element in XQuery Transformation Mapper file.
It's urgent.
Regards,
Jyoti Nayak

Transformation is to mapping the source and target of 2 different schemas.
In your case you should have a XQuery transformation between, your Business Service output schema and the target schema.
Thanks,

How to call excel macros in ODI

Hi gurus,
I am new In ODI please help me with this. i want to store sheet name of excel file in a variable.I have written a macro function for this please help me how to call that macro function in ODI
Thanks & regards

this are my thoughts ,since you will have to deal with multiple files and read multiple sheets . While dealing with Excel ,we have to deal with DSN and so multiple Excel can a be a little complex.
I think we can make use of your macro function by calling via VB and once you find the correct value write a in separate txt File. Now this File can be called in ODI and read and processed as you wish to .
Step 1. Call your Macro Function via VB
Step 2. Call this VB program via OS Command, which write to a separate file.
Step 3. Call this variable and read from the file via this methods http://odiexperts.com/?p=243 , http://odiexperts.com/?p=273.
Does this helps you .

How to call AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess in my custom BPEL Process

Hello
We want to use AIA Foundation pack Error Handling capability to our SOA Interface. I installed & configured Foundation Pack (Notification). I would like to know
1) How to invoke AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess in my interface?
2) What variables to pass?
3) What error tables to look?
4) Any other configuration I need to do before I start to invoke AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess ?
As this would be the first time we would be using AIA(FP). If you have any samples - would you share?
Thanks
Babu

1) How to invoke AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess in my interface?
Its like calling a webservice endpoint, you need to construct AIAFault (found in meta.xsd) and then pass it to AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess.
2) What variables to pass?
You have to construct AIAFault variable.
3) What error tables to look?
You can see WL JMS topic - AIAErrorTopic (configured - OOB after installing FP)
4) Any other configuration I need to do before I start to invoke AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess ?
You might want to look @ AIA error notificaiton setup (using the AIAApplication - setup pages available ). But its optional, i.e. if you do not setup anything, still the default values will be picked up from the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file.
You can look @ AIADemo that gets shipped with FP for more information on how to call AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess. You could also use AIA Service Constructor JDeveloper plugin which will autogenerate lot of code for you including EH, CAVS code.

I would try to take an aproach where I'll generate a stub for the WSDL in JDeveloper, and also write a
Java class that calls this stub and return a simple variable (String, int, or boolean).
Then I would call this class from Forms.
I believe this would make it easier.

Is there a tutorial on - how to call static java methods

I have defined external JAVA resource using a .jar file and have successfully catalogged the same. Now I need to pass variables to a static method in a class and also get the return variable mapped into a BPM variable.
Can someone share sample Java Invokation code, how to call methods in a class, how to instantiate a singleton or reference an existing instance of singleton class.
Any sample code or sample projects will be useful.
Also can I se ethe java system.out.println output in BPM Logviewer

Hi Arvind,
Sure you've done this, but the first step is to catalog the Jar file. Before an Oracle BPM project can use the Java component, the appropriate Java JAR files must be added to the project.
Add the Jar File(s) to the External Resources:
1. Right-click the External Resources item in the Project Navigator tab
2. From the pop-up menu, select New External Resource.
3. Name this new Java resource "MyNewJavaComponents" and ensure its type is Java Class Library.
4. Add the Java jar file(s)
Catalog and Expose the Java Components:
5. Add a new module in the Catalog called "IntegrationComponents".
6. Generate a Java integration component by right-clicking the IntegrationComponents module and select "Catalogue Component" -> "Java".
7. Using the Java configuration you just created called MyNewJavaComponents, click the Next button to automatically introspect the Java libraries.
8. Select the class where your method(s) are located and click the Next -> Finish buttons to have Oracle BPM generate the integration component for you.
9. If you expand the newly exposed Java component, you can see a method has been created for each public method (attributes would also be automatically created if this class had any public attributes). If you've included the appropriate BeanInfo class in the JAR, you'll note that the method parameters are appropriately named.
How to Invoke Public Java methods Exposed in the Catalog:
10. Open the method editor for an automatic activity in the process (or any BPM Object method with its "Server Side" property set to "Yes").
11. Drag one of the Java methods you just exposed inside your IntegrationComponents module into the automatic activity's method. Once you drag it in, here's what you might see if you're using the Java syntax in Oracle BPM's method editor:
(PdfGenerator).generate(outputFilename : "", contents : { }, logoImageURL : null, signatureImageURL : null);
Assuming you have "outputFilename", "sampleContent", "logoURL" and "signatureURL" variables already created in your process, change the method you just dragged in to:
IntegrationComponents.Pdfservice.PdfGenerator.generate(outputFilename : outputFilename, contents : sampleContent,
logoImageURL : logoURL, signatureImageURL : signatureURL);
Hope this helps,
Dan
