How to start sql developer(1.1) on mac osx

After download and unzip it, just double-click the sqldeveloper icon, doesn't it?
But after i double-click it, there is an icon on the bottom for a while, very soon. then it disappears.
Any help will be highly apprecaited!!!

Hi
I've got the same error starting SQL Developer 1.1.2 on mac os 10.4.9. In my case this was because I've had a blank in the path.
I've initialy located my SQL Developer on a USB Stick with the name "no name" which was mounted on /Volumes/no name path to SQL Dev was /Volume/no name/oracle/sqldeveloper/......
After changing the name of the stick to noname the path has changed to /Volume/noname/oracle/sqldeveloper/.....
and then everything worked fine.
An other hint, If you copy sqldeveloper.sh into sqldeveloper.command you may start the Developer with a double click.
By the way, I'm using the multiplattform package of the SQL Developer and put it on a USB Stick. I'm now able to take one copy of SQL Developer and Configuration with me and start it on Mac OS and/or Windows.
Regards
Stefan

How to start sql developer

Hi,
I installed the oracle 11 free version in my windows machine couple of days ago. I guess I have forgotten my SID. And now when I am trying to open a connection using sql developer, a dialog pops asking for connection, user, password etc. But I am not sure what to use for connection field. I thought may be I have to use the SID entered during installation. But I have already forgotten that SID. In that circumstances, how to connect to a database using sql developer? I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks.

another way to find out your sid could be to just look in your database folders
...\product\11.1.0\db_1\computername_sid
os if your computername is oracleserver and your service id is orasid then your folder should be
...\product\11.1.0\db_1\oracleserver_orasid
the same is for the folder
...\product\11.1.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_oracleserver _orasid
there is the case that instead of your computer name in the second folder you would see localhost
i apologize for writing someting not eligible to the forums guidelines as has been noticed by another attendee.
but it was a joke anw...

How to start working in ABAP

Hi,
I have a friend who is a Singapore PR.
She worked in non-SAP in IT for the past 10 yrs.
Recently she learned ABAP(not certified).
She dont have the experience working in a company.
she has ABAP knowledge and can do the job.
How can she break into the market? Will anyone share your experience how you started working in ABAP without the experience.
Thank you so much for your reply.

I too beleive that if you are having about 10 years of experience as an IT guy , then definately one would have developed that understanding of the function as well .
In ABAP what i have experienced is that if you are having that business clarity or fucntion knowledge the you would think in a more effective way as compared to a newbie . As you would be aware what the problems coule be and what new would cropp in over a period of time .
As a fresher yes you can start in ABAP but it would make your friend diffrent from the masses based on his 10 years of experience .
Good luck .....

How to start developing an Enterprise Service

Hi everybody.
I'm a student who writes his diploma thesis at the moment.
My aim is to identify different serivce candidates with the aid of a roadmap methodology in my company. After doing a business process analysis and identifying all the IT systems and interfaces to external systems I want to develop a enterprise (web) service (with ABAP/Java) offering some type of masterdata from SAP HCM and deploy it to the Exchagne Infrastructure of my company.
But I don't know how to start. There is too much (poor) information. Until know I did not find concrete howto-guides with examples for "developing a service" (both ABAP and Java), "deploying and testing a service with XI". Could somebody give me some hints?
I have access to the ABAP workbench, XI and the NWDS and have read all the theoretical stuff about SOA and SAP ESOA.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

How can I connect with SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition

Hello together,
I downloaded and installed the SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition on a virtual client.
I toke a long period to finish the installation.
Now some questions to use this system in the right way:
1.) How can I get a "developer license" which do not expire? Because the link http://www.sap.com/minisap seems to be not ok.
2.) How can I connect via network with the sap system? the application server is running on a vm client with a static ip i.e. 192.168.1.5. And my laptop gets a ip in the same range. I have installed the gui on my laptop and tried to connect with the system. But it does not work! I used as application server the ip of the virtual machine. I use the gui witch is installed on the same host like the application it works (with localhost as application server adress)
3.) Where can I download the newest version of the SAP Gui? I do not have a service marktplace account? Is it possible?
4.) I read in the documentation that it should be possible to reach the sap system also with web dynpro: http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000
But it does not work. I got an error message: Service cannot be reached
Note
The termination occurred in system NSP with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
Regards
Christian

I fixed in the meantime the second problem. It was a problem with my local firewall. But the other three points are still open.
Thank in advance for your help

How to start listener in sql developer for remote debug

how to start listener in sql developer for remote debug ? Since the new version 1.1.0.23 is different with the old version for remote debug, I don't know how to start the listener on the new version for remote debug.
even follow the user guide below and not work . Experts on sql developer please help me with this.
Remote Debugging
To debug a procedure or function for a connection where the database is on a different host than the one on which you are
running SQL Developer, you can perform remote debugging.
Remote debugging involves many of the steps as for local debugging; however, do the
following before you start the remote debugging: Use an Oracle client such as SQL*Plus to issue the debugger connection command. Whatever
client you use, make sure that the session which issues the debugger connection commands is the same session which executes your PL/SQL
program containing the breakpoints.
For example, if the name of the remote system is remote1, use the following SQL*Plus command to open a
TCP/IP connection to that system and the port for the JDWP session:
EXEC DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP('remote1', '4000'); The first parameter
is the IP address or host name of the remote system, and the second parameter is the port number on that remote system on which the debugger
is listening.
Right-click the connection for the remote database, select Remote Debug, and complete the information in the Debugger - Attach
to JPDA dialog box. Then, follow the steps that you would for local debugging (for example, see Debugging a PL/SQL Procedure).
Debugger - Attach to JPDA This dialog box is displayed when you right-click a database connection name and select Remote Debug.
Use this
dialog box if you are using the Sun Microsystem's Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) and you would like the debugger to listen so
that a debuggee can attach to the debugger.
For more information about remote debugging, see Remote Debugging.
Host: Name or IP address of
the remote host on which SQL Developer should listen for the database to connect.
Port: Listening port number on the remote host. You can
choose any valid port number that is not in use by another process.
Timeout: The number of seconds that SQL Developer will wait for the
remote database to make a debugging connection. Don't Show Dialog Box Before Connecting: If this option is checked, this dialog box will not
be displayed before future connections for remote debugging

You're not the only one:
Not able to start remote debug listener

Starting Webdynpro ABAP development

Dear Experts,
I am a Portal Consultant and I know Webdynpro Java. I am planning to learn Webdynpro ABAP.
Could you please provide me the details about actual Webdynpro ABAP development?
I have seen some applications and they used "Service Call" method to execute BAPI's and setting Import parameters.
In some applications they used normal development.
Could you please provide which is suitable( through Service call or normal development) and majarity of the people can use?
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Service call is required basically to get data from systems other than the calling systems i.e. a RFC call. Though you can use BAPI's to get data from the same system. (FM must be RFC enabled to use this functionality)
You can also call normal FM, but for that you don't have to create a service call.
Suppose if you want to use some standard BAPI's or FM just by creating service call you can use in your application.
check this example how to use BAPI,

How to start developing Xcelius component?

Guys,
When can I find steb-by-step explanation of how to start developing own Xcelsius components or modify existing?
I performed following actions:
1) installed Xcelsius 2008 Component SDK SP3
2) downloaded Flex 2.0.1 SDK from here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/sdk/flex2sdk.html
3) installed Flex Builder 3.0
Now I don't understand what to do...need assistance

Hi,
You use the Xcelsius Add-On Packager (comes with the SDK) to create custom add-ons. Within this tool you can define visual components, connections or functions that can be exported as add-ons.
In order to define a visual component (the most used type) you need to first create two separate swf files. One contains your custom flex component, the other contains the interface (property sheet) the user will be using in Xcelsius to interact with the custom component.
1. Custom flex component (swf)
Develop your custom flex component as you normally do in Flex, Xcelsius SDK is not involved in any way here. Define component styles and public properties that can be later be accessed via the property sheet.
2. Property sheet (swf)
It's the interface to your custom component. Here end users can change fonts, colors, bind cell values to component properties, etc. This is possible via the Xcelsius SDK. Using the SDK you get to populate the interface initial values values with the default custom component style and property values. You can also initiate bindings here between component properties and cell values.
Under C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\SDK you can find both the full documentation and samples to get you started.
Hope this helps,

How to start working with a Development Component

Hi Guys,
Till now I was working with the local development of WD. I was the only one working so I created a local project and use to deploy to the J2EE Engine.
Now we have got the full NWDI (Netweaver Dev Infrastructure).
I want to know exactly how to start working and creating Projects now that the work is not local. I may need to use 1 DC inside another.
A Development Component is to be created in the CMS and Checked into DTR. From the DTR I check in into my workspace. This is all i know
Can someone tell me exact steps of how to start the work.
Thanks for your support

Hello,
I believe you have already setup NWDI correctly and its running fine.
So here is link of a step by step guide.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c3/2656405aff1e24e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
