IB API Question (CSI)

I am using the API csi_item_instance_pub.update_item_instance
to update an IB instance. If I want to put a value in ATTRIBUTE4, how do I do that?
csi_item_instance_pub.update_item_instance(p_api_version =>l_api_version
,p_commit => 'F'
,p_init_msg_list => lc_init_msg_lst
,p_validation_level => ln_validation_level
,p_instance_rec => l_instance_rec
,p_ext_attrib_values_tbl => l_ext_attrib_values_tbl
,p_party_tbl => l_party_tbl
,p_account_tbl => l_account_tbl
,p_pricing_attrib_tbl => l_pricing_attrib_tbl
,p_org_assignments_tbl => l_org_assignments_tbl
,p_asset_assignment_tbl => l_asset_assignment_tbl
,p_txn_rec => l_txn_rec
,x_instance_id_lst => l_instance_id_lst
,x_return_status => l_return_status
,x_msg_count => l_msg_count
,x_msg_data => l_msg_data);

It should be a part of l_instance_rec, as in
l_instance_rec.ATTRIBUTE4 := 'my value';

API Question

Does the configurator provide a means of accessing the PS API..? I was contemplating createing a UI using C#/C++ or Delphi and COM but if this tool will give me the UI ability while exposing the SDK API for PS then that would be prefered. I looked through the threads and didnt see this question, apologies if its a dupe.
Also, is there an example of running scripts and actions for PS from a UI element created with the configurator...?
Thanks
David

Hi David,
may I suggest you to get a look to the Photoshop Panel Developer's Guide here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/photoshop_panel_developers_guide.pdf
It gives you advices and examples on how to build photoshop panels in Flash/Flex (with Flex you've plenty of UI element to play with - sliders, drop down lists, etc). I don't think you need patchpanel, or at least I've been able to do my own stuff without it: I've some javascript functions that are called by the panel depending on few sliders and checkbox.
Anyway, something that prooved to be impossible without writing some temporary image files and managing in fancy ways the input-output stream is to embed in the panel a PixelBender kernel - something that would make the panel a close brother of a Photoshop plugin

Swing API question

hello.
my name is james mcfadden and i am a final year computing student at letterkenny IT in ireland. i have a program here that i want you to take a look at. i am using this program among many programs in my final year project. the program compiles and runs. but when it compiles, i get a message from the jGRASP compiler (which always works well for me) saying that i was using a depracated API function. i found out what that depracated API function was. it was the show() function. this function was used in version 1.4.2 of java, but was dropped out of java 5.0. i checked up the java 5.0 API on the web and discovered that the show() function had been replaced by the setVisible(boolean b) function. i don't know how to use this new API function in my code. the question that i have to ask you is: how do i replace the show() function in my code with the setVisible(boolean b) function? Below is the code and the result i got back from the compiler when i compiled the code. thank you very much for your help.

Hi James,
your class extends JPanel. JPanel inherits show from java.awt.Component. If you have a look at the API documentation. The extension path of JPanel is
java.lang.Object
java.awt.Component
java.awt.Container
javax.swing.JComponent
javax.swing.JPanel
javax.swing.JComponent has a method setVisible(<boolean>). That means JPanel has all methods,that are Implemented in JComponent
So (although I have not yet used it)
replacing
show() ;
by
setVisible(true) ;
in your code should do the trick...

JDeveloper10g VCS Extension API Question

Hi.
I wrote a VCS system for JDeveloper9.0.3 against Microsoft Visual Source Safe, which worked fine. We've now upgraded to 10g, and this system does no longer work, because the JDev's extension API has changed.
I'm therefore rewriting the system to support the 10g API. But I'm a bit overwhelmed by the changes made to the API. Where do I start?
1. I wish to implement a new panel in JDev's preferences screen under VersionControl systems which can configure my plugin.
2. I wish to present files in the Navigator window with overlay icons on files checked in, checked out, not present and such.
4. I wish to add my plugin to the context menu for the Navigator, so that users can be presented with the choice to perform file operations against VSS.
3. I wish to present one dialog for single file operations and one for multiple file operations.
Which classes do I need to extend? Which interfaces do I need to implement?
Can someone give me directions? The help file for the extension API does not give sufficient answers.

To answer your other questions:
The VCSPropertyCustomizer object I've written contains properties I need to use during any VSS operations. Does the IDE store these properties in an easily retrievable place, or do I need to handle this myself.
You can get a VCSPropertyMap from the Ide like this:
((VCSPropertyMap)Ide.getSettings().getData( YOUR_DATA_KEY );
And another thing, the example above does not describe dialogs on operations like checkin, checkout and so on.
Would this be implemented in the doitImpl() method in my implementation of VCSAbstractCommand?
Yes... Below is a snippet from the code for the ClearCase client.
FWIW, sorry it's so much work to do this. I'm working on an (optional, i.e won't break existing code) way of just writing a simple xml file to integrate version control clients into JDeveloper that should hopefully make everyone's life easier in the future :P

E10 API Question

Since we have in E10 Campaign Canvas and Program Builder, does the Step ID is unique between the two in any instance?
Of course I am asking the question from an API perspective, so is it safe to assume Step ID (canvas or builder) will be unique per Eloqua instance?

Correct, the StepID is unique per instance. Does not matter if it's a PB step or a Canvas step.

JavaMail api question..

I'am trying to send an e_mail to myself using the javaMail API.
I have already installed it (and also the Java Activation Framework).
The code is:
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Date;
import java.io.*;
public class PruebaMail {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
          try {
               Properties props = new Properties();
               Session sendMailSession;
               Store store;
               Transport transport;
               sendMailSession = Session.getInstance(props, null);
               props.put("mail.smtp.host", "SMTP.mail.yahoo.com");
               Message newMessage = new MimeMessage(sendMailSession);
               newMessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
               newMessage.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
               newMessage.setSubject("Prueba 1234");
               newMessage.setSentDate(new Date());
               newMessage.setText("Le escribimos para informarle que alguien ha respondido a su consulta");
               transport = sendMailSession.getTransport("smtp");
               transport.send(newMessage);
          } catch (MessagingException e1) {
          System.out.println("PruebaMail MessagingException:" + e1.getMessage());
.. but, issuing C:\>java PruebaMail .. I get this error:
PruebaMail MessagingException:Sending failed;
nested exception is:
     javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown SMTP host: SMTP.mail.yahoo.com;
nested exception is:
     java.net.UnknownHostException: SMTP.mail.yahoo.com
so, my question is:
1. What is wrong in my code. Do you know an available SMTP server which
allows relaying??
thanks in advance!

Reverse this order:
sendMailSession = Session.getInstance(props, null);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "SMTP.mail.yahoo.com");Any property should be set before getting a Session instance.
If your mail server expects authentication you should give one more property, so the code will be:
if(user != null) // should be authenticated
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
else
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "false");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "SMTP.mail.yahoo.com");
sendMailSession = Session.getInstance(props, null);
... // fill newMessage
if(user != null) { // should be authenticated
newMessage.saveChanges();
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(mailhost, user, password);
transport.sendMessage(newMessage, newMessage.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
else
Transport.send(newMessage);

Oracle Install Base API question

Hi...I need help. I am writing an extension to the Service Fulfillment Manager (SFM) Transactions
Here is a functional background:
For all SFM message types, SFM exposes the PL/SQL code in the iMessage studio. iMessage studio is an Oracle EBS Application tool. The PL/SQL for the following message types will be modified:
·     Sales Order Shipment - CSISOSHP
·     Miscellaneous Receipt - CSIMSRCV
·     Receipt into Inventory – CSIPOINV
The processing logic for each of these transaction types contains a call to an Installed Base package and stores the return status in a variable. For PO Receipt and SO Issue transactions referencing serial numbers prefixed by the Vertical Bar (‘|’) character this call will be bypassed and a successful status placed in the return status variable.
For PO Receipt and Miscellaneous Receipt transactions referencing serial numbers not prefixed by the Vertical Bar (‘|’) character, the processing logic will be extended to extract the IUID value from the serial numbers table in the Oracle Inventory module (MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS) and call the public IB Application Programming Interface (API) (CSI_ITEM_INSTANCE_PUB.UPDATE_ITEM_INSTANCE) to update the associated IB instance with the IUID.
OK, so Question #1:
I get all I need to do is bypass the code in 2 instances if a bar is found at the beginning of the serial number.. And I can do that. But where is this serial number? I assume it is stored in MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS but how do I get it?
The code doesn't have it stored as a variable, and it doesn't seem to have the IB record either. Is there a foreign key? Anyone have imessage studio and can look into that?
Question #2:
To update the IB record with the serial number I need to make a call to the below procedure. The thing is, it seems to require the IB instance record. Again, I don't have that cause the code is creating it! Is there some way to get that created record back and pass it into the update procedure?
PROCEDURE update_item_instance

OK! I found the instance id!

I need to setup the master data of cost allocation segments (Segment1 to 6) in our case, I am unable to find a suitable API for the purpose. I was expecting that hr_organization_api.create_hr_organization or hr_organization_api.create_organization should be accepting these segments to create an org and a cost_allocation_keyflex_id but that is not the case.
I searched and came across hr_cost_allocation_api.create_cost_allocation where it does take in segments but also has assignment_id as a mandatory field which doesnt make sense as I am only interested in first setting up cost allocation segments and logically this should happen first and later we shud be able to assign it to the employee's assignment.
Can anyone guide me to an API that setup the cost allocation?
Thanks & Regards

Ivan,
All segments are optional
Following is the error that I get:
ORA-20001: HR_FLEX_VALUE_MISSING: N, COLUMN, SEGMENT1, N, PROMPT, COMPANY
ORA-06512: at "APPS.HR_KFLEX_UTILITY", line 1359
ORA-06512: at line 8
Certainly it tries to look for segment1 value (which I dont want to supply) thus it gives error as I have not assigned the value to segment1 and as part of business need , cost centre's cost allocation must be only to segment2,4,5,6.
I have also tried giving segment1 & 3 as NULL but get the same error
Thanks

FA API QUESTION

Hi,
I am developing an extension in FA where I have to update the column LIFE_IN_MONTHS in the FA_BOOKS table, based on some logic.
I am working in 11.5 10
Can I use the API FA_ADJUSTMENT_PUB.DO_ADJUSTMENT?
Thanks
Ruma

Saritha,
We generate that on the fly. Just insert records into the table fa_asset_keywords.
INSERT INTO fa_asset_keywords
(enabled_flag, code_combination_id, segment1,
summary_flag, last_update_date, last_updated_by,
last_update_login)
VALUES ('Y', fa_asset_keywords_s.NEXTVAL, substr(model,1,30),
'N', SYSDATE, fnd_global.user_id,
fnd_global.login_id);
Both value sets are "None" validated. Hence gives us a choice to insert the values on the fly and generate CCID.
Thanks

Self Registration API Question

Since there isn't documentation for the wwsso APIs I want to use.
Can I view it via SQLPlus?

Daniel,
Have you looked at the PL/SQL APIs? There may be something in there you can use to create/register a user.
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/astart.htm
Take a look at the wwsec_api package.
Hope this helps,
Sue

Essbase API question?

Did anybody know which patch has correct API "EssListDbFile()" in Essbase 6.1 or later.Thanks!

Hi,
There isn't a setting in the JAPI to not use SciNote by default. What you're doing is good.
The only way I know of to replace #Missing with 0 is to parse and replace. The object doesn't have a property to set for that AFAIK. You probably have a Cartesian parse already, just do it there.
public static boolean isNumeric(String str){
    for (char c : str.toCharArray()){
        if (!Character.isDigit(c)) return false;
    return true;
}Regards,

Scripting and reflection API questions

hi all,
what are the qualified class names of classes evaluated through the script engine?
i.e. if i eval("class C {}"), how can i then myReflectionContext.findClass("C")
if this is impossible, is there some other way of creating instances of fx classes
defined through the scripting API, on the java side?
when i try to define a public class, or a package through eval, i get a compile error.
is this normal, and why does it happen?
is it possible to build fx functions from java, where the invoke method of the function is
defined in java? is there a standard/recommended way of doing so? my hack-around
right now is to just eval an fx function which calls a java method.
is it possible to instantiate fx vars and bind them to other vars from java?
is it possible to programmatically construct entire fx class definitions from java?
thanks for any tips

The constructor will of course need an instance of Outer as a parameter.
class Outer {
   class Inner {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
      Class innerClass = Class.forName( "Outer$Inner" );
      // ok, so now i got the class,
      // how can i create an instance.
      java.lang.reflect.Constructor innerConstructor=innerClass.getDeclaredConstructor(new Class[] {Outer.class});
      Object innerObject=innerConstructor.newInstance(new Object[] {new Outer()});

Data Pump API Question

Hi,
Is there a way to use the Data Pump API to export tables from multiple schemas in the same job? I can't figure out what the filters would be. It seems like I can either specify many tables from 1 schema only, or I can specify multiple schemas but not limit the tables I want to export.
I keep running into this error: ORA-31655: no data or metadata objects selected for job
I'd like to do something like this:
--METADATA FILTER: SPECIFY TABLES TO EXPORT
dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(
handle => hdl,
name => 'NAME_EXPR',
value => 'IN(''schema1.table1'',''schema2.table2'')');
This does not seem to be possible..
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nora

Collaboration API - Questions

Can I use Collab API powerful enough to make a portlet just like "Community Projects Portlet"? (including the funcionality to add projects through project explorer)Similarly "Community Documents portlet".Is there a function to get all the documents of all the projects added in current "Community Projects" portlet for the logged user?Is there a way/function to get all the projects of the current community and its subcommunities? (to whihc the current user has rights to)

With the community and my page task portlets you can already do that, unless there is something I'm missing.
You can view all users across all projectsIt has columns for:
Task Name, Project, Assigned To, Start/Due Date, Status (% complete).
In addition it has the added features of letting you print, and also sort by:
All Tasks
Not yet started
Completed
Overdue
At Risk
Upcoming
