I need a starting point....

Hi,
I am an experienced PLSQL developer but know virtually nothing about Web Services and XML.
What we need to do is publish some data direct from our Oracle database as a webservice, like an interface. Another department wants data from us in an XML format but they want to be able to call it on demand via a webservice.
Does anyone have a starting point for me? We are on Oracle 9i. I know nothing about Java or Oracle 9i AS.
Thanks in advance for any help.

(1) Using wsa.jar command line tool to publish PL/SQL to webservices
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver.html
Check out the webservice documentation about PL/SQL.
(2) Usig JDeveloper to publish PL/SQL into webservices
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.3/state/content/navId.4/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.webservices%7Cws_c_createstdepws%7Ehtml/vtTopicId./
Although Java experience is helpful for using the tools, at runtime, little Java knowledge is required to deploy and consum the service.

New on Game Develop - I need a Start Point :)

Hi,
I know that this must be the topic most common, I develop applications to client/Server and I want to venture me in the development of a game (RPG). The problem is that I do not know where to start! Which are the class that I must use? Already exists some api in java to help me? If yes, which are they? The map, the players. I intend to make a basic game in 2d, as lufia (SNES), Final Phantasy VI (USA III - SNES). Which must be my starting point?
Thanks for all !

The beauty of Java is, pretty much everything you need is right there available.
There are other API's apart from the java standard, but I have not used any as of yet.
Java2D API is part of the standard edition java. It will handle transparency and everything else you may need to do an snesRPG clone.
Instance modeling will save you scads of time, make sure you know how to make and extend abstract classes, they will make your life easier, make sure you know how to time Threads properly.
The map will be a class, the class will actually serve as a sort of database for inividual tiles on the map. The class will be instanced from a 2 dimensional array with x and y values being the dimensions. You will need to have 3 or four layers of this map. The class will store the possition, image, and other important iformation about the individual tile.
You need to learn MediaTracker, you will most likely want to use AWT instead of Swing, you will need to learn how to use BufferedImage, etc.
Plan Plan Plan, and Plan more. RPG's are big projects, if you use linux, dia is your friend.
Work on little things like logic while you learn the other stuff you need such as Randoms, how to implement monsters and characters, and make them do battle, how to tell if they are dead, attacking, etc.
An RPG takes a very stubborn individual to successfully complete as one man project, if it doesn't work, there is a reason, find out what it is, and yes it has been done before in java. :-)
I have been assuming you are a good programmer, therefore I just scartched the surface for you to show you some of the things you need to plan for to get into game programming.

If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD. Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted. As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

Need to start a program in Oracle System (External) from sap program

Hi guys,
     I need to start a program in another oracle based system from sap program by writing native sql statements.
Does anyone have idea how to do this.
Rgds,
Ram

Hi,
Here is another sample for procedures.Kindly reward points by clicking the star on the left of reply,if it is useful.
Code Sample for writing a procedure with input and output parameters
REPORT zzz_jaytest.
* Getting the regno and total as input parameters
PARAMETERS : p_regno(10) TYPE c DEFAULT 'R1000',
                           p_total     TYPE i.
data : v_total type i.
* In this procedure, we are updating the total of a regno given as input.
* Here two parameters used in the procedure are input parameters.
* We are updating the record of regno entered in selection screen and
* adding the total entered to the already existing total. We have to give semicolon
* for the statement inside procedure.
exec sql.
CREATE or replace PROCEDURE PROC1 ( p_regno in char, p_total in number )
IS
    BEGIN
      UPDATE stu_det SET total = total + p_total where regno = p_regno;
    END;
endexec.
* This is the code to execute the procedure for update.
* While executing the procedure, the parameter variable should be
* preceded with colon :
EXEC SQL.
EXECUTE PROCEDURE PROC1 ( in :p_regno, in :p_total )
ENDEXEC.
* In this procedure, we are selecting the details for the regno entered
* as input. Here p_regno is input parameter and v_total is used as output
* parameter. So that we can use the retrieved value of v_total in our
* ABAP program
exec sql.
CREATE or replace PROCEDURE PROC2 (p_regno in char, v_total out char)
IS
    BEGIN
      select total into v_total from stu_det
                         where regno = p_regno;

* This is the code to execute second procedure.
EXEC SQL.
EXECUTE PROCEDURE PROC2 ( in :p_regno, out :v_total )
ENDEXEC.
write : / 'Total of ', p_regno, ' is ', v_total.

Changing the Media Start point

So I just had a hard drive crash on me and I did not have back-ups of my footage. It's not to bad because I have back-ups of the project file I was working on. So all I was going to do is a Batch Capture to reconnect all of my clips. Only problem is the person I had capture the footage did not leave enough pre-roll when they did a capture now. So now when it tries to re-capture it says "Cannot locate specified timecode"
This is because there is not enough pro-roll on the clip to allow it to batch capture. When I look at the Media Start in the browser window for the clip it says it starts at 00:00:02:31. I need to change this to a later start so it does not try to roll the tape so far back. So.....
How do I change the Media Start Point???
Thanks

Ok, I am following you, I just need to make sure the clips in the edited timeline reconnect with the old master clip.
I could keep the old offline master clip and just make it reconnect to the new captured clip. But will this make all of my already edited clips in my sequence that are looking at the old master clip off by however many seconds I had to reset the in-point to get the tape re-captured?
Thanks for the tip on dragging clips to the L&C window, I did not know you could do that.

Don't know how to set an interactive form as starting point?

Hi all,
I need to have a scenario where the starting point of a guided procedure is an interactive form.
I've made an interactive form in Adobe Designer and saved it as .xdp
I've made a callable object from it, add it to an action and add the action into a process.
Now when I initiate a new process in runtime I only see the input fields from the form in a Web Dynpro like design and not the actual form itself.
I thought it was just a simple handling to start a guided procedure process with an IF but it appears not to be for me.
Can somebody help me please?

The input parameters you are seeing in a 'Web Dynpro like' form are more than likely input parameters to the process. Process input parameters come from action input parameters in process blocks and actions that are not mapped. Given that, it sounds like you have not mapped all the input parameters for one or more of your actions in your process. By default, GP provides the process initiator the ability to specify the values of these inputs when a process is started. To avoid this you can either,
1. Map all the input parameters.
2. Specify the process to start automatically under the 'Instantiation' tab for the process template. By selecting this, input parameters are ignored and their default values used.
3. Don't expose these parameters if they are not required or applicable to your process. This can be done at the action or block level under the 'Parameters' tab.

Help with starting point for "proof of concept" integration

We are a third party application provider and are attempting to figure out how to do a "proof of concept" integration with SAP. We are not looking for "certification". Our product does not appear to fit any of the standard certifications for integration and our experience integrating with other systems indicates that no two integration will be identical.
We are looking to do a simple integration scenario with an SAP system so we have some basic experience doing it, can say 'Yes" when asked if we have done it, and can create a video showing a transaction being done in SAP and our system also updating (and ideally the reverse).
Our starting point with respect to SAP knowledge is "0".
Our basic task list (we think) goes something like
1. Figure out the version and modules of SAP with which we should be integrating
2. Get access to an SAP system (do we rent, is there a developer/evaluation, ...)
3. Put some data in the test system (is there a "sample data" set?)
4. Figure out the SAP transactions that map to the business process in which we are interested (moving goods in and out of a distribution center/ware house - are there some "standard business process guides")
5. Integrate (we are a .NET web based application so we are guessing this means use the ".Net Connector")
Could anyone point out any resources (white papers, links, people, places to find people,...) that might be a good starting point?
Thanks,
John

Athol,
We are looking to recieve notifications out of SAP as tractor trailers at a dock are filled as proof on concept. The actual integration scenarios we do are more complex and do not match well with any of the pre-packaged certification scenarios. The real world integration scenarios actual vary substantially from customer to customer in terms of the integration points between systems.
As we have become more marginally knowledgable about SAP, I think we will end up receiving and sending "IDOC" messages from SAP but have no idea what those IDOC messages are or where to start looking for what a "standard" (if there is one) message SAP would generate in reaction to whatever the "trailer is loaded" transaction is.
To figure out what the transaction is, I assume we need to identify what version of SAP we should be targeting for a simple integration. Are there any could references on what the commonly integration methods are and to which versions they apply?
Something like "hey, if you do an integration with a IDOCs in with SAP Netweaver 2004 then that would good proof you could integrate with 90% of the installed SAP base". Of course, any links explaining what the versions of SAP are and where they are in there lifecycle and what people are actually using would be helpful.

Do i need to start looking elsewhere...?

Hi All,
Something has been bugging me for the last year or two and that's the Portal and ABAP. I've been involved in Portal technology for the last 6 years and enjoying it. I've been in development, administration, and going through the ups and downs of NWDI.
Lets start with the Portal, I've been hearing that SAP does not have a strong feeling about the portal (long term) especially with business client in the mix. I mean a friend of mine questioned what does the portal really offer to customers these days? These things concern me as wondering if i reached the point where i need to start looking at adding different skills to my arsenal of other SAP skills (all Java and Portal related) or in need of a career change. The second challenge is trying to break into ABAP, I've reached the conclusion that in order to call yourself an SAP developer you got to know ABAP. All I read these days is how SAP is moving all their existing applications to Web Dynpro for ABAP etc etc etc. Since I don't know procedural development is it wise to jump into ABAP OO and starting learning Web Dynpro for ABAP? I have alot of knowledge in Web Dynpro for Java fo this should hold me in good stead. Yeah, lots to think about but thats the nature of IT...never stop learning i guess. It would be nice to hear peoples thoughts on these matters if anyone else is going through the same concerns.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
In my opinion, learning WD ABAP is not a bad idea. There are lots of ABAP developers but good ABAP developers with OO ABAP and WD ABAP skills are rarer. And your WD Java experience will really help you.
Regards,
Pierre

Numbering: Import v Image v Sequence - How do these work? Can they be set to arbitrary start points?

I have been searching where ever I can but I can't seem to find a good explanation of the difference between "Import Number," "Image Number" and "Sequence Number."
In LR4 I was able to specify a start number for sequencing the image reference numbers.
I would like to be able to specify that start number and have LR remember where it left off for the next time I import so I have continuously increasing numbers across imports until the next time I need to reset.
Thanks for any information you can provide or links to the information.

OK. A simple experiment reveals:
Import# - Ever increasing number for each import. If this is used without another dynamic numbering (ie image#) it will append -# to the end of the filename. (ex. PHOTO001, PHOTO001-2, PHOTO001-3 etc.)
Image# - Ever increasing number for each image across imports (Half of what I was looking for)
Sequence# - Increasing number for each import. Resets to 0 each time.
The question still remains though.
Can the start points be manually set?
Thanks.

Add Mouse - Cannt move start point

Captivate v5.5
A work colleague using v5.5 is unable to move the start point of the mouse pointer trail they add to a slide using Insert/Standard Object/Mouse or the insert mouse tool bar.
They can move the pointer end to place they want it to finish but unable to grab and drop the start point and place it where they want the mouse to start from.
I have tried it on my v5.5 and it works OK for me.
Any ideas please as to what she needs to do - or why this might be ?
Noel

Hi Noel,
If you are using mouse pointers in more that one slide, then the end point of the mouse pointer on the first slide, becomes the start point on the second and so on.
This is done to keep the continuation of the mouse pointer across the slides.

View all what I have done from a specific start point or time frame ?

While I am Creating A Controlling Area, and Defining a Cost Center Standard Hierarchy
get a phone call or meeting. Need to get back to keep going, is there a way or a T-Code to view all what I have done from a specific start point or time frame ?

Greatly appreciate every single reply from all of you.
I did access T-Code SE10, and attached a screen.

I was hoping for some type of report that looks like an Excel sheet where it can give better details.

A starting point for pipemenus in Openbox

Does anybody know of a good "hello world" pipemenu written in python or bash? I'd like to get started with making my own pipemenus, but I'm having a hard time looking though some of the pipemenus on the Openbox website. I just need a nice clean one to look at for a starting point. Thanks.

Hi kiwisaotome,
The idea is to make a script that creates an xml form at the time when it is called, which the openbox menu can use. It's fairly easy. Here is an example that I use. I don't remember where I got it from:
#!/bin/bash
FREQ=`cpufreq-info -p | awk '{print $3}'`
echo '<openbox_pipe_menu>'
if [ $FREQ = 'powersave' ]; then
echo '<separator label="Powersave"/>'
else
echo '<item label=" Powersave">'
echo '<action name="Execute"><execute>sudo cpufreq-set -g powersave</execute></action>'
echo '</item>'
fi
if [ $FREQ = 'ondemand' ]; then
echo '<separator label="Ondemand"/>
else
echo '<item label="Ondemand">'
echo '<action name="Execute"><execute>sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand</execute></action>'
echo '</item>'
fi
if [ $FREQ = 'performance' ]; then
echo '<separator label="Performance"/>'
else
echo '<item label="Performance">'
echo '<action name="Execute"><execute>sudo cpufreq-set -g performance</execute></action>'
echo '</item>'
fi
echo '</openbox_pipe_menu>'
Then I call it from the openbox menu.xml where it first is declared or what ever it's called:
<menu execute="~/.config/openbox/scripts/cpufreq-pipe.sh" id="system-cpu-menu" label="CPU Governor"/>
And then called:
<menu id="system-cpu-menu"/>
Hope that helps.

Can Email Start Point process NOT return attachments?

I'm creating a process starting with an email start point, and it does not need to return attachments, only receive them.
When it completes, the email that comes back has a subject line of "Errors from Livecycle ES", and the body says:
LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error: No results after invocation. It could be a problem during invocation.
Is there a way to simply send a confirmation email back to the sender, with no attachments?
Thanks

Hi Jack
You are receiving the attachment back because the email submission failed.
If an email submission is sucessful, no attachment is returned in the results email.
Sorry...I don't believe there is a way to control whether or not attachments are sent back.
