How to deal with conflicting packages which should not conflict?

Hi there
I made a PKGBUILD for sp-tk (speek toolkit).
It provides LOTS of binaries.
Of course the name of one of them is conflicting with a binary of another package (boost)
I thought of two options:
1. installing it in /opt instead of /usr (rather simple): but there may be conflicts with other packages (not that I am aware of)
2. putting the binaries in its own repository (e.g. /usr/share/sptk/bin or /opt/sptk/bin) and adding a profile.d/sptk.sh script to include the binary locations in the path.
What would be the best approach? (Any other good suggestion accepted)
Thanks,
Seb

sebcactus wrote:Well it is not convenient. These are tools, which are usually used by other software/scripts. So changing the name of the binary would impact all the scripts based on it
In that case, you'll need profile.d/sptk.sh to update the PATH variable otherwise the software/scripts won't find the sptk tools unless they specify the correct full path.
And the license still goes in /usr/share/licenses/sptk/ (assuming sptk is the pkgname)

How to deal with the rule that do not use "object" class to declear a class

I run my flex project in sonar. And there is a rule "Do not use Object class ".
I just want to know how to deal with this problem.
I mean, when I try to write a base class, I don't know which kind of class will be transfered in by reference, which type I can declear instead of "object"?

Check out this example:
The moment I put in the code >> box1.addItem("hello"); << and run the application, the BusNameListener is fired. Hope this makes sense.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class JFrameExample {
private JComboBox box1;
public JFrameExample() {
box1 = new JComboBox();
box1 .setMinimumSize(new Dimension(300, 24));
box1 .setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 24));
box1.addActionListener(new BusNameListener());
box1.addItem("hello");
JFrame f = new JFrame("This is a test");
f.setSize(400, 150);
Container content = f.getContentPane();
// content.setBackground(Color.white);
content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
content.add(box1);
f.setVisible(true);
class BusNameListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JComboBox cb = (JComboBox) e.getSource();
String item = (String) cb.getSelectedItem();
if (item != null) {
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
"Specify...", "File Import",
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
}

How to deal with duplicate packages in AUR?

What is the best way to report a duplicate package (often one version is orphaned and another has a maintainer... but both are still the same package) so that one (if one is orphaned, probably the orphaned one) can be deleted? Would I want to contact a TU? And how would I do that? Post in the Discussions section?

liquibyte wrote:Actually I would say that if you know they are the "exact" same thing, just adopt the orphan and then delete it.
Only TU's can delete packages now. A safety measure to stop the evil minority...

How to deal with conflict and potential conflict classes?

Some classes are marked as conflict and potential conflict classes in the Classloader Analysis Tool.
How to deal with them?
How to use suggested solutions?

Not double load them.
Conflicting classes can lead to weird exceptions. One obvious example would be if you package
an older servlet.jar version into your application and use the weblogic classloading features, such
as prefer-web-inf-classes, to tell weblogic to use this class instead of the one provided in the
system classpath. This one example which leads to weird exceptions, such as connot process jsp tag...
If you really need a the version of the jar for your application, you have to test it through and through
so that you know you do not run into weird production errors.

Hi Kamlesh,
Thanks for your response.
Actually, In the "Process External Bank Statement" window, i see that there are few entries which is for the previous year and which has not been reconciled. I have never worked practically on BRS and hence, i am scared to make any changes in the clients database without being confident on what i am doing. I need to reconcile for one of their Bank a/c for the month of April '08. I have the copy of the statements for the month ending 31st Mar 08 and 30th Apr 08. The closing balances are as below:
31/03/08 - 2300000.00
30/04/08 - 3100000.00
Now my OB for Bank a/c for April '08 in SAP is 2300000.00 Dr.
When i go to External Bank Reconciliation - Selection Criteria Screen (Manual Reconciliation), here are the detail that i enter:
Last Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000 (Grayed out by the system)
Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000 (Entered by me)
End Date: 30/04/08 (Entered by me)
"Reconciliation Bank Statement" Screen opens up and shows the below balances in the screen:
Cleared Book Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000
Statement Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000
Difference: INR 3,800,000.00000
As per the Bank statement, i have found all the transactions listed out here for the month of Apr '08 but, i also found that the open transactions for the previous month from April '08 have been lying in "Process External Bank Statement" window.
Could you please help me solve my issue as to what needs to be done or could you also get me some links from where i can get few documents for processing External Bank Reconciliations?
That will be of a great help for me. I need steps as to what needs to be done first and then the next so that i can arrive at the correct closing balance for the month April '08.
Thanks in Advance....

How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

Hi everybody,
I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
Setup Project to install it.
Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
2. Add Installer
3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
5.
6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
My questions are:
1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Simon, not a problem!
I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
MSI supports 2 strategies:
Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
installed files)
Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional.
Let's consider both strategies:
Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
Strategy 1
1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
Strategy 2
1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
here. So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
installation and they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
and delete), like this:
*clip*clip*clip*
' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD_Service', 'Service name', '160', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while installing
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD2_Service', 'Service name', '10', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
*clip*clip*clip*
We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
Hope it will help to everybody!

How to deal with this problem?

How to deal with this problem?
We plan to use Oracle Coherence (In Memory Data Grid) for a large-scale application. In order to keep the database table data in Coherence caches, we will create all the corresplonding Java objects (entities) and construct the persistence system using JPA/EclipseLink+JDBC. In this way, any in-memory object update will be persisted to the corresponding database tables.
The problem is that some existing application codes are updating these database tables directly now. If the direct-database-table update is not permmited in the persistence environment, we have to discard most of the existing application scripts.
I want to know, in this situation, should I discard most of the existing scripts?
Are there any other solutions?

Allowing writes from both cache & DB is possible with its own set of issues.
The main issue to consider is conflicts from updates on same record via both cache and DB. If your caches are write-through the conflict decreases - but then cache writes become slower. If your caches are write-behind potentially the older cache update will overwrite the latest DB update. Now you are back to Database 101 -- timestamps, versions, etc...
If you use a DB trigger to initiate the resync request you might want to distinguish whether the update has come from the cache-store (in which case, you may choose to do nothing), or if the update was from the 'existing apps', etc...
If you choose to inject the resync logic at the application code level - you have the usual sourcecode issues - can you modify the code, is all the DB code localized, what options do you have to link with Coherence functionality (DLL, external proc, webservice, etc), etc... Naturally though, if you have to make substantial changes to signal a resync....you might consider taking the extra step and change the code to write to the cache.

How to deal with 0...n or 1...n mappings?

Hi all,
I'm relatively new to BPM. I've already made several processes that are working fine. However, I'm now stuck because, for the life of me, I'm not able to understand how to deal with data mappings of nodes of a cardinality greater than 1...1.
I'm used to dealing with 0...n inputs of Web Services in Webdynpro Java and CAF Application services, using java code... but I just don't get how to deal with these in a BPM data mapping scenario.
Let's say you have a Web Service whose input is a node called "Employee", where you can add n Employee objects, like this:
   Employee (0...n)
      FirstName: String
      LastName: String
How do you:
1- map a 0...n context node from a Web Dynpro or Web Service output, already containing several employees, into this Employee 0...n WS input node?
2- map a 0...n context node from a Web Dynpro or Web Service output, containing NO employees, into this Employee 0...n WS input node, without getting an error and the BPM crashing because it says the employee element is not found?
Hopefully someone can help me with this, because I'm about to go the way of calling the web service n times, one employee at a time, instead of one time with a Employee object with n registries in it.
Thanks!

Hi Abhijeet,
i think i should have mentioned this earlier. My Employee node is inside another node. So, the actual input structure of the WS is this:
InputValues (1...1)
   Employees (0..n)
      FirstName: String
      LastName: String
This scenario works OK in BPM when mapping a 0..n node using deep copy as Jocelyn explained, but I still doesn't work if I want to pass an empty (not null) Employees array.
If I go to the WS Navigator and run this WS with the following parameters, it runs ok (I get an output message saying no employee was selected, which is how it should work):
InputValues - "Is null" checkbox not activated.
   Employees - "Skip" checkbox not activated
      FirstName - "Skip" checkbox activated
      LastName - "Skip" checkbox activated
However, if instead of activating the checkbox of, say, "FirstName", I enter a "" value, I get an error from the WS saying that's not a vaild first name, which is also how it should work.
In java code, I would just pass an empty InputValues object to the WS, but I'm not sure how to do this in a BPM without it being considered null, and without having to set on of its String-child values to "".
Do you know how to achieve this?

Hi one_dane
I have made the property file using hindi fonts to type the following thing
{ m e l A D r e s
p a s v D R
No the above values are not place holders Infact in order to type EmailAddress and Password in hindi I had to type the above keys. so when I put system.out.println in my jsp page it does not display any hindi text but the above keys which i used to type in order to display hindi text in my txt file.
But I think i am not going on the right track should i type the unicode values for hindi text which is of the form \udddd in my property file. I have the unicode chart for hindi fonts so I can look up the chart and type appropriate unicodes(\udddd) to display Email Address and Password in hindi. Or am i still not getting how to do it? If not then please tell me how did you create your hindi property file. Is the following that you typed in your property file or is it the output of converting your property file into unicode using native2ascii
title=\u090f\u0926\u0938\u093e \u092a\u0917\u0932\u094d\u0917 \u0942\u093e\u0902\u0942JSP i18n issues

How to deal with generated programs in eCATT SAPGUI recording?

Hi experts and professionals,
I am trying to automate testing of our solutions by eCATTs and so far i have not been able to find solution for following problem.
Whole test scenario is very simple:
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...)
Create DAP on InfoProvider
Archive InfoProvider
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...) again
Compare results from step 1. and 4. (must match)
Reload archived data
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...) again
Compare results from step 1. and 7. (must match)
As you can see, one of the required test steps is to check InfoProvider's data in transaction LISTCUBE.
But transaction LISTCUBE generates its program "name" every time it is executed and
I am struggling to find a way how to deal with these generated programs in eCATT SAPGUI recording.
Key is that solution must be generic and work for all SAP BW releases from 7.0 upwards
(having in mind that LISTCUBE can read NLS data from SAP BW 7.3 release).
Error description from eCATT log:
Screen Check Error: Expected Transaction: LISTCUBE, Actual Transaction: LISTCUBE.
Expected Program: GP0KOZE7EFIUBN10MZUFWX90W80, Actual Program: GPBP24INA6VV77SL0XKU5NA642O.
Expected Screen Number: 1000, Actual Screen Number: 1000.
There Is Probably an Error in SAPGUI recording.
ExceptionClass:CX_ECATT_APL_CAPTURE ExceptionId:SCREEN_CHECK_ERROR
RaisingClass:CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER Include:CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER=CM00J Line:443
Is there any way how to avoid program check in eCATT script?
Anything that would help me to find solution will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Igor

Dear Igor,
Your issue is caused by the "screen check" which eCATT processes here.
In General this screen check is a very usefull activity, since is ensures that only those screens are processed by automation, which initially where recorded. This should ensure as much as possible to invoke only intended activities.
Remember, that the driver of the screen flow is still the automated transaction program ( but not the test tool). So application logic decides which screen is send next.
Using screen check the test tool tries to ensure that menu items and buttons and other activities are only automated when the tool "believes" to work on the intended screen.
For generic test scripts and often in context of generated programs the screen check might hurt a bit.
To overcome this, one might try to make the check dynamic (as Sheetal suggests correctly).
If here the name of program cannot be determined for any reason, one can use another method and do following:
- Change the value of ProcessedScreen-Active to 'R'
This will disable/skip the screen-check for this ProcessedScreen.
Sure the solution includes a certain risk, since not checking the correct screen to appear might lead to automation of actions with not desired impact.
Maybe this can improve your solution.
Kind Regards
Jens

How to deal with relation

Hi
I am trying to import two beans(TestBean and HelperBean)into my Web Dynpro project to create a model. These beans are dealing with a List(ArrayList). This List is considered as a Relation. I am facing problem in handling this relation.
I am having both the TestBean and HelperBean in the same package. Below is the code of TestBean. This bean is in turn calling HelperBean ,which is returning a List.
I am getting an error while creating model -
[Error]: There are one or more relations unresolved. Importing the model without resolvoing the relations might result in erratic output.
Code For TestBean
public class TestBean implements Serializable{
 private List customerList= null;
 HelperBean helper = new HelperBean();
 public void execute(){
 try{
 customerList = (ArrayList)helper.getCustomerList();
 catch(Exception ex){
 ex.printStackTrace();
 * @return
 public List getCustomerList() {
 return customerList;
 * @param list
 public void setCustomerList(List list) {
 customerList = list;
I am new to Web Dynpro and don't know how to deal with relation.Please inform if there is some solution.
regards,
Sujit

Sujit,
Not every bean becomes model class during import. So your HelperBean is irrelevant here. But you miss other bean, namely Customer bean. You must add it as model class during import, then select problematic 0..n relation and resolve it to model class Customer.

Hi Paulbin,
Do you want to supply a function-pointer to a DLL so it can call[back] your VI? Here's how it can be done with .NET, though, that solution requires a C compiler. A single "VI_to_function-reference" utility could handle all cases where the callback passes no parameters. Maybe someday somebody will share that dll.
Did you know that LabVIEW can use Events for some COM-signals change? See pic. (Note: DTR is not listed - - )
Another question is another function's prototype is WORD SetTestType(WORD comHandle, bool type1, bool type2, bool type3), I tried to use a boolean control and a Boolean to (0,1) node in labVIEW to pass parameters to CLF, I config the bool input value as U8(according to C++ bool type) and U32(according to WIN32 BOOL type), it dose not help, when I execute the VI, LabVIEW will be disappeare, it seems to be closed, I must start it again.
Could someone has similar experience on this points?
It's easy to crash LabVIEW misusing CLF - maybe there's another reason for the crash besides bool mis-match(?) Do you know which "Calling convention" is required? What type is comHandle? (where does comHandle come from?)
Cheers!

Organizational unit transfers ,how to deal with the person in it ?

Hi,All,I need your help!
if an organizational unit has been transfered to another upper organizational unit ,and there are already persons assigned to different positions of it,so how to deal with this problem?are those person's IT 0000,0001should be changed too?and how to maintain this kind of change?is a personnel action necessary?or there is some other more efficient way for it?

Hi
In IT0001 You have a Position which is linked to a Org unit. If you want to change the org units reporting relationship then you have to change it in OM by creating a new relationship with the upper org unit.
All the person are assigned to position so nothing needs to be done in PA.
Reward points if useful.
