How to schedule imports using MDIS

Dear MDM experts,
Pls let me know if there is a way to schedule MDIS for imports rather than have it do it 24/7,e.g. need MDIS to work only at 6 pm everyday.
Pls let me know what parametr influences that.
Thanks.
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
As per my understanding there is no need to create any scheduled tasks for MDIS import because even if u do so then u need to keep the MDIS in stopped mode.
If the MDIS is not in stopped mode then even if u schedule any MDIS import task at 6.00 am it will only run the MDIS but it wont find any files to import coz whenever u place any file in the inbound port it gets sucked instantly.
So for this scheduled task to run MDIS shud be in stopped mode or else it will import the file instantly.
Try creating a scheduled task to start the services of MDIS if this is possible then whatever files that are present inbound port MDIS will import.
But I dont think it is possible to schedule to start the services.
Hope dis helps u

How to schedule jobs using

Hello Gurus,
I have a job in SM37 scheduled using the prog. RSBATCH1 with var.&0000000000049. When I go to SE38, give the program name and the var and execute it, there is nothing entered in the 'Jobname' in the user selection screen.
But when it is executed it runs two(2) Infopackages for that variant.
I want to remove one of the infopackages. How do I achieve this?
Where can I get more info on how to schedule jobs using
RSBATCH1.
Thanks in advance
Simmi

Hi Simmi,
If the variant is like "var.&0000000000049" in the job then the program does not ahve any variant.
To remove the infoapckage for that job goto the infoapckage -> scheduling tab -> Scheduling option -> remove the job from "after job" tab.
Bye

Is it possible to schedule SQLPLUS script with 6 different parameters? If yes then how can I schedule for monday to friday or only for Saturday and sundays.
Please provide brief steps.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Let me explain to you about scheduler.
You can schedule a pl/sql stored procedure TEST_S as follows...
Begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name=>'MY_JOB',
Job_Type=>'STORED_PROCEDURE',
job_action=>'TEST_S',
start_date=>sysdate,
repeat_interval=>'freq=monthly;BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI',
end_date=>null');
END;
You can also also execute o/s script like .bat or .sh. For this job type should be EXECUTABLE.
Example of converting a .sql script in .bat script...
insert.sql
insert into dept values(50,'IT','LONDON');
exit
insert.bat
sqlplus scott/tiger @insert.sql
Executing now...
C:\Documents and Settings>insert.bat
C:\Documents and Settings>sqlplus scott/tiger @insert.sql

How to schedule events using ServletContextListener??

Hello all
I have a servlet which contains a hashtable. I need to update it every hour with some new entries. I have read some of the other threads which suggest one to implement a ServletContextListener, and when the servletcontext is created or destroyed, certain methods would be called. So can I have my servlet implement ServletContextListener and write methods to do the same? When is the servletcontext created or destroyed?? Can I do it every hourly??
Please help me with suggestions and any example code would be great.
thanks a lot
Mahesh :)

in servlet specification 2.3 I found
Servlet Context Events
Lifecycle: The servlet context has just been created and is available to service its first request, or the servlet context is about to be shut down
An Example of Listener Use:
To illustrate a use of the event scheme, consider a simple web application containing
a number of servlets that make use of a database. The developer has provided a
servlet context listener class for management of the database connection.
1. When the application starts up, the listener class is notified. The application
logs on to the database, and stores the connection in the servlet context.
2. Servlets in the application access the connection as needed during activity in
the web application.
3. When the web server is shut down, or the application is removed from the web
server, the listener class is notified and the database connection is closed.
ServletContext created when application deployed or server started
ServletContext destroyed when for example server was shut down

Is it possible to use MDIS to import to hierarchy tables?

Hello everybody!
Tell me, please,is it possible to import records into hierarchy tables using MDIS?
The imported XML-file looks like this:
<data>
<row>
<NAME>Some Name</NAME>
<DATA_UPD>01.27.2006</DATA_UPD>
<HIER>03000000000\03408000000\03408553000</HIER>
</row>
<row>
</row>
</data>
The field HIER in my XML-file contains delimited values to build hierarchy. I tried to import, but MDIS blocks the port with Value Exception.
P.S. I set MDIS Unmapped Value Handling option to "Add" to automatically add missing values to hierarchy table.
Thanks,
Vika

Hi!
Jasbir, Dilmit, thanks for your answers!
But while configuring mapping of fields of my XML-file to hierarchy table fields in Import Manager I found an option "Set MDIS Unmapped Value Handling" which can be set to Ignore (default), Add, Map or Fail. If I set this option to Add, it offers to "Add Target Node for Unmapped Values in MDIS Mode". So, I expect that selecting some node shows MDIS to which node it should add all new unmapped values.
The imported XML-file structure looks like this:
<data>
<row>
<NAME>Some Name</NAME>
<DATA_UPD>01.27.2006</DATA_UPD>
<HIER>03000000000\03408000000\03408553000</HIER>
</row>
<row>
</row>
</data>
1. I splited HIER field into hierarchy using "Split into Hierarchy" command.
2. Then mapped HIER<Split Hierarchy> field to CODE field of my resulting hierarchy table.
3. Then for CODE field I set "MDIS Unmapped Value Handling" option to Add and chose the node to which add unmapped values.
4. Then I tuned matching fields.
5. Saved the map.
6. Configured port (of type Automatic).
7. Added XML-file to the port.
The result of import (using MDIS) into hierarchy table is that the CODE field is filled with hierarchical values, but all other fields are empty. And MDIS blocks the port with Value Exception.
So, I embarrassed by this: on the one hand, MDIS imports some values and even builds the hierarchy correctly, but from the other hand, the import doesn't finish.
Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance,
Vika

STMS- SCHEDULED IMPORT

I am trying to delete a scheduled import from STMS.
Few months back, I have created scheduled import using the event SAP_TRIGGER_RDDIMPDP from the truck icon (attach 1). This allows us to automatically import into DEV when released from SE01.
anyhow, I want to stop the scheduled transport but I can't seem to do this. Someone on SCN suggested I got to SM37 but the I can't seem to find the job any longer.
how can I remove the schedule job from STMS?
thanks

Hi Juan
Thank you for the points.
Ss shown in the screenshot in you first message STMS1.PNG), You can schedule a job that imports transports automatically (AFTER EVENT) into DEV. Choose "EXECUTE IMPORT PERIODICALLY". In the next screen you can, for instance, schedule this job to run every 5 minutes. Every time when a transport is released, withinh 5 minutes it will be imported automatically into DEV.
You should always manually check the import log for errors
Good luck.

How to schedule job to execute after 5 seconds gap using the program

Hi ALL,
How to schedule the program to run after 5 seconds to execute using JOB_OPEN,JOB_CLOSE,SUB_SUBMIT function modules in which parameter I should give this 5 secnods?
Regards
mahesh

Hi,
You can use the import parameters of function module JOB_CLOSE
SDLSTRTDT & SDLSTRTTM
to pass the required start date and time (respectively) of your background job. That is, if you want the job to be scheduled and start at a fixed time (as in your case 5 seconds in the future), you can determine the start date and time as 5 seconds ahead of sy-uzeit and pass the resultant values to the mentioned importing parameters.
Cheers,
Aditya

How to schedule a Process Chain using ABAP Program?

Hi All,
I want to schedule the activity of extracting data from the query to a flatfile.
Currently we are schedulling it using the transaction rscrm_bapi.
I need to know , how we can achieve the same using an abap program and not ( rscrm_bapi) in a process chain.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Purva

Your problem will be solved if you use the Function Module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" instead of the function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_LOG".
The function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" gives you the STatus of the process chain, when you pass the Chain Name and the Log ID.
If you get an output
G or F - Report that the Chain is Successfully Completed.
A - The chain is Currently running
R or X - Report that the chain has ended with Errors.
Sample code :
REPORT Z_BW_GET_STATUS_PROZESSKETTE.
TABLES rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain OCCURS 0,
wa_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_log LIKE rspc_s_msg OCCURS 0,
wa_log LIKE rspc_s_msg,
gt_status like RSPC_STATE.
SELECT * FROM rspclogchain
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_rspclogchain
WHERE datum = sy-datum
AND chain_id = 'BD_C02_1D'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SORT gt_rspclogchain BY datum DESCENDING
zeit DESCENDING.
READ TABLE gt_rspclogchain
INTO wa_rspclogchain INDEX 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS'
EXPORTING
i_chain = wa_rspclogchain-chain_id
i_logid = wa_rspclogchain-log_id
IMPORTING
E_STATUS = gt_status.
IF gt_status = 'G' or gt_status = 'F'.
WRITE :/ 'BD_C02_2D chain COMPLETED'.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'BD_CO2_2D chain is Running or Ended with Errors'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'No chain BD_C02_2D started for today ! or keine Kette BD_C02_2D gestartet !'.
ENDIF.
I have just provided a sample code, you might have to edit or add necessary messages to the program.

How to implemented an scheduled service using ScheduledExecutorService

Hi, everybody
I have a case that need retrieve data periodically from server. And I used the ScheduledExecutorService and javafx.concurrent.Service to implemented this case. But the trick thing is that ScheduledExecutorService schedule method aleady need a Runnable parameter. And Service setExecutor method set the ScheduledExecutorService. But the result is the Runnable is implemented run periodically but not the Service's call method(Which is I want). The Service is not extends from Runnable or Callable, how it can be used by the ScheduledExecutorService to implemented the periodical task?
Please see my example:
public class ScheduledService extends Application{
     * @param args
     *            the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Test");
        Parent root = new Label("abc");
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 600);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
        test();
    public static void test() {
        ScheduledExecutorService scheduledExecutorService = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
        scheduledExecutorService.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                System.out.println("ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()");
        }, 0, 2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        CustomService service = new CustomService();
        service.setExecutor(scheduledExecutorService);
        service.start();
class CustomService extends Service<Void> {
    @Override
    protected Task<Void> createTask() {
        return new Task<Void>() {
            @Override
            protected Void call() throws Exception {
                System.out.println("CustomService.createTask().new Task() {...}.call()");
                return null;
}The result is:
ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()
CustomService.createTask().new Task() {...}.call()
ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()
ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()
ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()
ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()
ScheduledServiceTest.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run()
{code}

You are not allowed to call "restart" on a different thread, it must be from the JavaFX application thread. You don't see the Exception for it because it is encapsulated in the ScheduledFuture that "executor.scheduleWithFixedDelay" returns.
Let's forget about this ScheduledExecutorService, that is not the way to do it when you want to work with a Service. Here's a fully working example that uses standard JavaFX:
package hs.mediasystem;
import javafx.animation.Animation;
import javafx.animation.KeyFrame;
import javafx.animation.Timeline;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.concurrent.Service;
import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Duration;
public class Test extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
public static class MyService extends Service<Void> {
    @Override
    protected Task<Void> createTask() {
      return new Task<Void>() {
        @Override
        protected Void call() throws Exception {
          System.out.println("Begin task");
          return null;
@Override
public void start(Stage paramStage) throws Exception {
    final MyService myService = new MyService();
    Timeline timeline = new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(5), new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      @Override
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        myService.restart();   // automatically on JavaFX thread, so can call restart directly
    timeline.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE);
    timeline.playFrom("end"); // can also play from start but you will have an initial 5 second delay
}

I run Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V. How do I import from the camera directly to Final Cut, without having to go through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V.
How do I import from camera to Final Cut without going through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
HD: 1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
HD: 1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
SD: 720x480/60i
1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder. FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60. That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported. FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes?

How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes? The previous version had a 'photos' function in top right of the home screen but this has disappeared from the current version (Dec'12).

If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: Enter your full Google email address
Password: Your Google account password
Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Additional Information
Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.
