  • How to debug d2k form.

    hello ......
    please let me know how to debug a d2k form?
    thanks n regard
    yash

    You can also set breakpoints in your code you want to debug. e.g. if you want to debug a specific trigger like WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED, then put BREAK; statement from where you want to start debugging.
    You can also set breakpoint in the debugger itself by opening specific trigger and double clicking the line of code to start debugging.
    For running in debug mode, press SHIFT+CTRL+R and then step into the code like FormsEleven explained.
    Hope it helps!

  • How to improve the performance of adobe forms

    Hi,
    Please give me some suggestions as to how to improve the performance of adobe form?
    Right now when I' am doing user events it is working fine for first 6 or 7 user events. From the next
    one it is hanging.
    I read about Wizard form design approach, how to use the same here.
    Thanks,
    Aravind

    Hi Otto,
    The form is created using HCM forms and processes. I' am performing user events in the form.
    User events will doa round trip, in which form data will be sent to backend SAP system. Processing will
    happen on the ABAP side and result will appear on the form. First 6 or 7 user events works correctly,
    the result is appearing on the form. Around 8 or 9th one, the wait symbol appears and the form is not
    re-rendered. The form is of size 6 pages. The issue is not coming with form of size 1 page.
    I was reading ways to improve performance during re-rendering given below.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/DynamicInteractiveFormPerformance.pdf
    It talks about wizard form design approach. But in SFP transaction, I am not seeing any kind of wizard.
    Let me know if you need further details.
    Thanks,

  • How and where improve my photoshop skill shortly? be more professional !

    One of my job duty is web graphic
    i use photoshop mainly during my working time
    but my skill was not upgraded for 1-2 years , just repeat daily work only
    how and where improve my photoshop skill within 1-2 week?  And be more professional !
    for example , i respond for a fashion jewelry shop :  www.gemztone.com
    the boss request me to do more improvment but i have no good idea,
    Thank you any suggestion!

    I see that Lynda.com has gotten a lot of recs, so will not mention that one (good though).
    I also like the Adobe Classroom in a Book [fill in your version of PS here], Adobe Press. They will step you through several interesting projects, and expose you to much that is contained in the program. Most will also provide you with sample images to work with. To date, only CiaB Encore, was without sample files.
    Early editions did concentrate heavily on the "how," but were lacking the "why." Most of the versions that I have seen lately, have added a lot more of the "why," and that can be so very important, when one translates their lessons to real-world work.
    After that, there are many fairly specialized books for PS. Ones for a Camera RAW flow, retouching, 3D, motion in PS-Extended, and on, and on. Once you are comfortable with the program, define what you want to do with it. There will likely be a book for that.
    Good luck and enjoy,
    Hunt

  • Performance blocker on cFP-2020: file-I/O! How to improve?

    Hi all,
    after resolving my serial-communication problems I still have a performance problem. The code is way too slow which causes e.g. the ftp-server on the fieldpoint to not respond anymore to requests from my PC. I always get timeouts. I also frequently get loop-finished-late events within my two state-machines. I have now used the timing and performance monitor to sse which vi is taking so much time. The result: A file-I/O vi that writes data and log-entries into three different log-files. With a former verion I simply used one vi that appends a string to an existing file. However, since this function disappeared with LV8.2 I had to rewrite the code to use the following sequence of LV-functions:
    - file open
    - set pointer to the end
    - write string
    - file close
    My vi shich calls this sequence is horribly slow - execution time per run is about 200ms and the top of the list in the performance monitor. Are there any suggestions on how to improve this code? I simply want to add a string to the end of the log-file......
    The vi is attached. There are two features in the code which are not self-explanatory: The first sub-vi generates a new file if is used for longer than a preset time (15 minutes in my case). So the create-time of the file is stored in the filename and whenever the current time exceeds create-time plus 15 min. A new file name is created. For simplicity, the name is stored only for the first of the three log-files. The other two are created by string operations from the first filename. Second, whenever a file is "created", that means is does not exist yet, a data-header is written to the file, before data is appended.
    Can you see simple improvements here that will accelerate this code? Maybe open the file only once and then append data subsequently and only close it when a new file is created? But I do not need all three files all the times, there may be situations where only one file is needed, and the others need not be created at all.
    Thanks,
    Olaf

    I think moving the open file, move to end of file, and close file out of the loop would certainly help.  These functions could be associated with or built into your "determine new file" VI.  Since the file paths get passed into the loops, you could pass them through with shift registers so that you can close them after the loops end.
    One other thing to look at is your initialize array and insert into array functions.  I believe insert into array is one of the costlier functions.  Build array would be better.  And initializing a much larger array and using replace array subset is better yet.  But if you wind up with more elements than you had originally initialized for, you will have to use build array to enlarge it.   I would recommend searching the Labview forum for insert into array, build array, and replace array subset for threads that do a better job explaining the differences and advantages of each.
    Thanks, that improved the performance of this vi by about two orders of magnitude. The application is now much more stable.
    However, I cannot connect to the cFP-2020 anymore by ftp. I even swithed the fieldpoint to boot without vi.
    To be specific, I can access the cFP and cd into all directories except for the directory with the data. I assume that there is a large
    amount of files in it now, but used to work before even with lots of files. The only thing that might be not so nice is that there is a space
    in the folder name, but that has been like that for years now and used to work.
    Is there any reason (corrupted file or something like that) that can cause the ftp to fail on this specific directory?
    Thanks,
    Olaf

    Since Forms 6 was never certified on Vista, I will assume you don't care about using Oracle Support. If that's the case, getting Forms 6 to work on Win 7 would likey require similar steps as you took to getting it to work on Vista.
    At minimum, you would need to do the following:
    1. Start with Forms/Reports 6.0.8.11 (6i Release 2)
    2. Install the latest (last) patch (#17), bring the version to 6.0.8.26
    3. It may be necessary to relax or disable Windows UAC
    4. To run the executables, you have to right click on them and select Run As Administrator in order for them to work properly.
    THE ABOVE IS NOT A SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION
    Forms 6.x was desupported years ago. If you have not already begun to do so, you should probably be working on a migration plan in order to get you to a supported version. The latest version is 11.1.1.3, so you are far behind. All versions newer than 6.x are entirely web based. This means that you will no longer be able to use the Forms runtime on the client machines. Client machines will require an Oracle certified browser and JRE in order to run Forms. Certification information for Fusion Middleware 11 (includes Forms 11) can be found here:

  • PL/SQL , D2K Forms Problem

    Hi,
    I am developing a package for HR.
    I had developed procedure which take data from
    temparary ASCII file to temparary table, and from temparary table to Attendance table.(Punch card machine generates ASCII FILE)
    In this procedure i had put one validation clause for date & time, means if attendace date and time is greater than system date & time then it should reject the data.
    Due to some reson my Server's time got changed and server time was back by 6hrs.
    I have used D2k for my Application and Oracle 8i as DB.
    I am invoking above procedure from D2k form.
    Now problem is when i run this from Application it gives error for each record as systime is got changed, but if i execute this procedure directly from PL/SQL it works.
    Pls. note that i am doing this from client machine.
    Regards,
    Mrugank

    EMP IN TIME and date are the time and date respectively , for the attendance. Sorry, but how do those relate to these?
    ATNDATE and CUR_EMP.ATTIME?What I think we need is some debugging instrumentation here. For once we're pretty close to it. Could you amend the insert into upis.mesg statement so it does this
    insert into upis.mesg Values (
    Eno,AtndDate,cur_emp.Attime||'-'||
    Cur_emp.InOutInd ||'-'||Cur_emp.TrtNo||'-'|| To_char(Cur_emp.Flag) ||'/'||
    'Time Greater Than Current Time'||to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyyhh24mi' ), 0);Please change your code so that this message gets written regardless of whether the time test is failed.
    Alternatively use DBMS_OUTPUT To display AtndDate,cur_emp.Attime, to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyyhh24mi' )
    Then run your proc from Form and SQL*PLus, and post sample output from both runs.

  • How to improve the perforamnce

    Hi ,
    How to improve the performance of the  report.
    Thanks and rgds,
    Roopa

    1. Unused/Dead code
    Avoid leaving unused code in the program. Either comment out or delete the unused situation. Use program --> check --> extended program to check for the variables, which are not used statically.
    2. Subroutine Usage
    For good modularization, the decision of whether or not to execute a subroutine should be made before the subroutine is called. For example:
    This is better:
    IF f1 NE 0.
    PERFORM sub1.
    ENDIF.
    FORM sub1.
    ENDFORM.
    Than this:
    PERFORM sub1.
    FORM sub1.
    IF f1 NE 0.
    ENDIF.
    ENDFORM.
    3. Usage of IF statements
    When coding IF tests, nest the testing conditions so that the outer conditions are those which are most likely to fail. For logical expressions with AND , place the mostly likely false first and for the OR, place the mostly likely true first.
    Example - nested IF's:
    IF (least likely to be true).
    IF (less likely to be true).
    IF (most likely to be true).
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Example - IF...ELSEIF...ENDIF :
    IF (most likely to be true).
    ELSEIF (less likely to be true).
    ELSEIF (least likely to be true).
    ENDIF.
    Example - AND:
    IF (least likely to be true) AND
    (most likely to be true).
    ENDIF.
    Example - OR:
    IF (most likely to be true) OR
    (least likely to be true).
    4. CASE vs. nested Ifs
    When testing fields "equal to" something, one can use either the nested IF or the CASE statement. The CASE is better for two reasons. It is easier to read and after about five nested IFs the performance of the CASE is more efficient.
    5. MOVE statements
    When records a and b have the exact same structure, it is more efficient to MOVE a TO b than to MOVE-CORRESPONDING a TO b.
    MOVE BSEG TO *BSEG.
    is better than
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING BSEG TO *BSEG.
    6. SELECT and SELECT SINGLE
    When using the SELECT statement, study the key and always provide as much of the left-most part of the key as possible. If the entire key can be qualified, code a SELECT SINGLE not just a SELECT. If you are only interested in the first row or there is only one row to be returned, using SELECT SINGLE can increase performance by up to three times.
    7. Small internal tables vs. complete internal tables
    In general it is better to minimize the number of fields declared in an internal table. While it may be convenient to declare an internal table using the LIKE command, in most cases, programs will not use all fields in the SAP standard table.
    For example:
    Instead of this:
    data: t_mara like mara occurs 0 with header line.
    Use this:
    data: begin of t_mara occurs 0,
    matnr like mara-matnr,
    end of t_mara.
    8. Row-level processing and SELECT SINGLE
    Similar to the processing of a SELECT-ENDSELECT loop, when calling multiple SELECT-SINGLE commands on a non-buffered table (check Data Dictionary -> Technical Info), you should do the following to improve performance:
    o Use the SELECT into <itab> to buffer the necessary rows in an internal table, then
    o sort the rows by the key fields, then
    o use a READ TABLE WITH KEY ... BINARY SEARCH in place of the SELECT SINGLE command. Note that this only make sense when the table you are buffering is not too large (this decision must be made on a case by case basis).
    9. READing single records of internal tables
    When reading a single record in an internal table, the READ TABLE WITH KEY is not a direct READ. This means that if the data is not sorted according to the key, the system must sequentially read the table. Therefore, you should:
    o SORT the table
    o use READ TABLE WITH KEY BINARY SEARCH for better performance.
    10. SORTing internal tables
    When SORTing internal tables, specify the fields to SORTed.
    SORT ITAB BY FLD1 FLD2.
    is more efficient than
    SORT ITAB.
    11. Number of entries in an internal table
    To find out how many entries are in an internal table use DESCRIBE.
    DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB LINES CNTLNS.
    is more efficient than
    LOOP AT ITAB.
    CNTLNS = CNTLNS + 1.
    ENDLOOP.
    12. Performance diagnosis
    To diagnose performance problems, it is recommended to use the SAP transaction SE30, ABAP/4 Runtime Analysis. The utility allows statistical analysis of transactions and programs.
    13. Nested SELECTs versus table views
    Since releASE 4.0, OPEN SQL allows both inner and outer table joins. A nested SELECT loop may be used to accomplish the same concept. However, the performance of nested SELECT loops is very poor in comparison to a join. Hence, to improve performance by a factor of 25x and reduce network load, you should either create a view in the data dictionary then use this view to select data, or code the select using a join.
    14. If nested SELECTs must be used
    As mentioned previously, performance can be dramatically improved by using views instead of nested SELECTs, however, if this is not possible, then the following example of using an internal table in a nested SELECT can also improve performance by a factor of 5x:
    Use this:
    form select_good.
    data: t_vbak like vbak occurs 0 with header line.
    data: t_vbap like vbap occurs 0 with header line.
    select * from vbak into table t_vbak up to 200 rows.
    select * from vbap
    for all entries in t_vbak
    where vbeln = t_vbak-vbeln.
    endselect.
    endform.
    Instead of this:
    form select_bad.
    select * from vbak up to 200 rows.
    select * from vbap where vbeln = vbak-vbeln.
    endselect.
    endselect.
    endform.
    Although using "SELECT...FOR ALL ENTRIES IN..." is generally very fast, you should be aware of the three pitfalls of using it:
    Firstly, SAP automatically removes any duplicates from the rest of the retrieved records. Therefore, if you wish to ensure that no qualifying records are discarded, the field list of the inner SELECT must be designed to ensure the retrieved records will contain no duplicates (normally, this would mean including in the list of retrieved fields all of those fields that comprise that table's primary key).
    Secondly, if you were able to code "SELECT ... FROM <database table> FOR ALL ENTRIES IN TABLE <itab>" and the internal table <itab> is empty, then all rows from <database table> will be retrieved.
    Thirdly, if the internal table supplying the selection criteria (i.e. internal table <itab> in the example "...FOR ALL ENTRIES IN TABLE <itab> ") contains a large number of entries, performance degradation may occur.
    15. SELECT * versus SELECTing individual fields
    In general, use a SELECT statement specifying a list of fields instead of a SELECT * to reduce network traffic and improve performance. For tables with only a few fields the improvements may be minor, but many SAP tables contain more than 50 fields when the program needs only a few. In the latter case, the performace gains can be substantial. For example:
    Use:
    select vbeln auart vbtyp from table vbak
    into (vbak-vbeln, vbak-auart, vbak-vbtyp)
    where ...
    Instead of using:
    select * from vbak where ...
    16. Avoid unnecessary statements
    There are a few cases where one command is better than two. For example:
    Use:
    append <tab_wa> to <tab>.
    Instead of:
    <tab> = <tab_wa>.
    append <tab> (modify <tab>).
    And also, use:
    if not <tab>[] is initial.
    Instead of:
    describe table <tab> lines <line_counter>.
    if <line_counter> > 0.
    17. Copying or appending internal tables
    Use this:
    <tab2>[] = <tab1>[]. (if <tab2> is empty)
    Instead of this:
    loop at <tab1>.
    append <tab1> to <tab2>.
    endloop.
    However, if <tab2> is not empty and should not be overwritten, then use:
    append lines of <tab1> [from index1] [to index2] to <tab2>.
