Implementing MEREQ001 - instantiating issue

Hi
While implementing exit MEREQ001. in Exit_SAPLMEREQ_003, I have written:
if not IM_REQ_ITEM is initial.
   l_mereq_item = IM_REQ_ITEM->get_data( ).
endif.
I am not getting any line item data. When I debugged, this method is in include - LMEREQF10, where there is a line:
READ TABLE my_data_input_buffer INTO ls_buffer WITH KEY req = me.
At the time of debugging I see that there is no data in table (my_data_input_buffer) and req is empty......
Can anyone give some Idea???
how will req get 'me' and rest of the data??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please go thro the following code:
DATA :   req_ref         TYPE REF TO if_purchase_requisition,
             req_items     TYPE mmpur_requisition_items,
             req_item       TYPE mmpur_requisition_item,
             req_it_data   TYPE mereq_item.
    CALL METHOD im_req_item->get_requisition
      RECEIVING
        re_requisition = req_ref.
    IF req_ref IS BOUND.
      CALL METHOD req_ref->get_items
        RECEIVING
          re_items = req_items.
      IF req_items IS NOT INITIAL.
        LOOP AT req_items INTO req_item.
          IF req_item-item IS BOUND.
* Getting the Item Data
            CALL METHOD req_item-item->get_data
              RECEIVING
                re_data = req_it_data.
            MOVE eban-zzmaktl     TO req_it_data-zzmaktl.
            MOVE eban-zzno        TO req_it_data-zzno.
            MOVE eban-zztext1     TO req_it_data-zztext1.
            MOVE eban-zztext2     TO req_it_data-zztext2.
            MOVE eban-zztext3     TO req_it_data-zztext3.
            MOVE eban-zzrc4       TO req_it_data-zzrc4.
            MOVE eban-zzpc5       TO req_it_data-zzpc5.
            MOVE eban-zzisep      TO req_it_data-zzisep.
            MOVE eban-zzdsd       TO req_it_data-zzdsd.
            MOVE eban-zzres       TO req_it_data-zzres.

  • Class Instantiation Issues...

    Hi,
    We are currently having issuses with a Class Interface.  Everything was working fine with it, and now it says that the class is 'not instantiated'.  If you are in SE80 or SE24 and try to test a class (e.g. CL_HRRCF_APPLICATION_CTRL), you will get a pop-up that allows you to replace generic parameter types.  Now with the non-working class, it gives a screen similar to your transport organizer, with the class name at the top with '<not instantiated>' beside it, and a list of methods below it.  This Class is being used through the web.  Also, in the title bar in 6.40, it says, 'Test Class CL_HRRCF_GLOBAL_CONTEXT: No Instance'.
    <phew>... so, has anyone else run into a problem like this, and if not, does this make enough sense?  Is there a way of instantiating a Class Interface without calling it from a program, like generation?
    Best regards,

    Hi Kevin
    I am also working on an eRecruitment 3.0 ramp-up project. What I have found is that most of the classes etc used rely on other classes etc further up the chain, they cannot be tested in isolation. Instead it is normally necessary to set a breakpoint and then log into the eRecruitment Fornt end via a web browser. The class will then be instantiated in the normal process, as you work through the system pages, and called appropriately.
    This is a BSP issue. The class in question is a basic building block of the eRecruitment BSP pages.

  • HttpServlet implements Runnable thread issue

    Hi,
    I have a servlet that implements Runnable. In web.xml I have set this servlet to load-on-start=1. In the init method of the servlet I have a thread that starts and basically runs forever. Now I am facing some issues and am not able to figure out what exactly is going on. I see exceptions in the log file and then my servlet stops. I have catch block all over but somehow whenever some exception occurs my Thread just stops and the servlet stops too I have to manually invoke the servlet so the Thread to start over again. Here is a code snippet. Now if any error occurs in insert() method somehow Thread just stops even though I am catching an exception. This servlet is not called from anywhere it just loads as soon as the app is deployed and then the thread keeps running and in my insert method I am reading some files and inserting into the database. How can stop the thread from being stopping and where at the top level I can add catch block to exactly print the error even though I am catching all the exceptions in the code itself. How can I keep my thread alive even after any exceptions.
    public class InsertData extends HttpServlet implements Runnable {
        Thread thread;
        public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
            super.init(config);
            thread = new Thread(this);
            thread.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
            thread.start();
        public void run() {      
            while (true) {                     
               insert();
               try {
                thread.sleep(10000);
              catch (InterruptedException ignored) { ; }
        private insert()
         try{
         catch(Exception exception)
        }Thanks

    Hi,
    After more debugging it turned out all the exceptions are handled correctly but some how after some time the thread just stops running in the servlet and even after invoking the servlet manually it doesn't start. Now asThread may take arround couple of minutes to finish but I am starting a new run every 1 minute which may lead to several Threads running a one particular time and as the time goes on thread increase also. So wondering if there's any limit on number of Threads to run at one particular time or is the Application Server removing any of these as in the code I don't see anything and no errors in the logs either.
    Is there a way to find out if a servlet is loaded. As in the Application Server control I do see a servlet loaded but I don't see any of the Thread running that calls the insert method.
    Also is it a good idea to have a Thread start in the init method that runs forever. Any other approach I can take. Writing a windows service or a cron job can be one but it's not in the scope. Other option I though of was using JMS and thru MDB I manually invoke the servlet and so I don't have to use Threads.
    Is there any other approach I can have by using servlet itself. Basically I want to call my servlet every lets say 30 minutes automatically.
    Thanks

  • New implementation - Client having issues with RAC and Grid on Windows

    Client is starting a new implmenetation on Windows 2008 R1, Oracle 11.1.0.7. They have a 3 node RAC and Grid Control. They are having a number of issues and support is working through those issues. They are asking if there are clients on RAC and Grid on Windows. The Wiki shows a few customers on Windows, but was hoping to get some feedback. Tks.

    There are lots of customer applications that are based on Windows RAC. And as mentioned above, it is very well supported by Oracle.
    However, because of the security vulnerabilities of Windows, I've observed that most of the financial institutions and listed companies opt for unix based servers for all high profile applications and run only low to medium risk application on Windows.
    Regarding maintanence issues, I guess it's going to be pretty much the same; there shall always be lots of bugs, lots of patches and updates just like an yother software; doesn't really matter if you are on Unix or Windows systems. As long as you purchase support, it's all good.
    It's pretty much same concern regarding Grid Control on windows.
    Cheers.

  • Issue filtering a report (based on narrative view) with a dashboard prompt.

    I used HTML and java-script codes in narrative view to solve the issue of "linking different reports on selecting values from a drop-down". A new issue has cropped up due to that implementation. The issue is that i can't attach a dashboard prompt to such a report. This means, when i put this report on a dashboard page with a dashboard prompt to help filter the report, the report does not gets filtered (it does not seems to be connected to the dashboard prompt).
    Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, please let me know how to tackle it at the earliest.

    Hi,
    I am trying to implement Account Alias issue using package. Please let know API if anybody is aware of this API.

    Don't think this is anything to do with SQL or PL/SQL.
    I guess you need to try an Oracle Apps forum.

  • Security issues in OM Actions

    Hello gurues,
       I had customized some actions for PA and I could customized parameter UGR so that not all of them would be displayed in PA40 (depending on UGR parameter of each user)
      Now, I have to deal with OM actions and I realize They dont use parameter UGR.... Is there any way to implement some security issues in these actions? How can I deny or grant access to OM actions to some users?
      Please ANY comment will be very apreciated, thanks very much in advance.
      Regards, Cristian.

    I don't know of a parameter to help you with this but a couple ideas: obviously, standard security will restrict folks from using actions they're not supposed to, but they'll still see them in the drop down list in transaction PP03 - they just won't be able to use them; you can use the actual transactions for the actions and only give people authorization to the transactions they're supposed to use (these are listed in Table T77S0 under group 'TCODE' and you have to look for them b/c they're mixed in with other transactions - for example, the action 'Create Position' is PQ13); you could just use PPOCE/PPOME, which is much cleaner than actions and the method I have recommended my clients use since 4.6C.  The client won't have to dig through a list of irrelevant actions. 
    One word of warning - don't delete the delivered actions you're not using.  They're used throughout the system.  For example, all the Training Management actions drive the screens in the Training Management function.  If you delete them, the training screens will be gone.  That may not matter now, but it could impact your client as they grow their footprint in the future.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

    Please let me know how?

    Then if you want OOTB way, you may try the approach that I have suggested.
    The advantage of Append Changes to Existing Text is it will keep adding all the descriptions entered by users, like history.
    And this is how Comments field is implemented OOTB in Issue Tracking List.

  • Purpose of instructor led training requirement for OCP?

    What is the purpose of requiring OCP candidates to take an instructor led course? It all seems a bit random / superfluous. Costly too if one does not have an employer willing to pay for the training.
    My Oracle Press "OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide" doesn't even hint that classes are a requirement for the OCP; the most said is: "The OCA qualification is based on two examinations; the OCP qualification requires passing a third examination." (pg. XXIX). An incomplete characterization, correct?
    And "To prepare for the OCA/OCP examinations, you can attend Oracle University instructor-led training courses, you can study Oracle University online learning material, or you can read this book." (pg. XXIX). Prepare for the exams, sure. But why would such a book omit the not insignificant detail that a perhaps expensive course is required to get the OCP? Seems discourteous to the reader.
    From http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#5 via http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=198&p_org_id=&lang=
    I say it seems random and superfluous because of the following list:
    "These foundation courses meet the Hands On Course Requirement for OCP-Level certification:
    * Oracle Database 11g: Introduction to SQL
    * Oracle Database 11g: Introduction to SQL Ed 1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals l Ed 1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL and PL/SQL Fundamentals
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL and PL/SQL Fundamentals Ed 1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units
    * Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I
    * Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I Ed 1.1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop II
    * Oracle Database 11g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals"
    A modest Intro to SQL course will count? But an OCA will already have that knowledge. Obviously, one should choose a course with higher-level content. But I'm not sure I understand the logic of the OCA-grade courses being eligible. And for those funding certification without financial assistance from an employer, the question that suggests is this: what is the least expensive way to satisfy the "instructor led" course requirement? I cheapest price I see from Oracle is a 3 day class costing $1,800. It would also cost 3 days of vacation time, or unpaid leave, if an employer is not supportive of certification.

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply Hans.
    TO expose the candidate to techniques related to the new features rather than traditional techniques that are commonplace in the industry.That makes sense to me. But many of us like to tinker with new features on our own.In my experience, many, many more people want the OCP without doing any work. Some will use pure memorization or out and cheating to get there.
    It's unfortunate that you and I get penalized by those.

    And to ensure that the has had at least some hands-on time, instead of only pure theory. While some people may get hands-on at work, many others do not
    have that opportunityh, especially in the are of new features.Then it might make sense for OCP certification to allow submission of proof of work experience in place of the HOC, as is the case with other professional certifications.
    Yes, that would be nice.
    But difficult to verify. and you would be surprised how many organizations have very narrow definitions of the job. Experimenting not allowed in some places.
    It all seems a bit random / superfluous. Sad, from an instructors and OCP's point of view, to hear you think of it that way.I don't mean to say there isn't anything new any of us couldn't pick up, say, even from an Intro to SQL course. There's a vastness to most technology topics and we can't master every facet. But the cost/benefit ratio may be terribly low for those who are already Oracle professionals with many years of on the job experience. The reality as well is that some instructors are duds--that's the case anywhere. And for my learning style, I prefer self-guided / on-my-own study.
    Costly too if one does not have an employer willing to pay for the training.No doubt.
    My Oracle Press "OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide" doesn't even hint that classes are a requirement for the OCP; the most said is: "The
    OCA qualification is based on two examinations; the OCP qualification requires passing a third examination." (pg. XXIX). An incomplete characterization, correct?A topic to discuss with the authors, and publisher. We (the user community with whom you are talking) have little to no control over this.Wonder if the authors participate in these forums. I realize you, as a user, have no control over this. But a book blessed by Oracle via Oracle Press, I respectfully submit, can and should do better--by including details about the HOC requirement.
    Some do. But much more effetive would be to lodge a formal complaint or inquiry.
    "These foundation courses meet the Hands On Course Requirement for OCP-Level certification:
    ...All of which will ensure you have had time becoming acquainted with SQLPLus, DBControl, and perhaps SQLDeveloper.I already use all 3 tools. Would love to take all the courses listed; but I'm not independently wealthy or otherwise.
    So would I. ;-)
    As well as logging in (you would be surprised how many OCA candidates do not know how), these all give you an opportunity to issue SQL and PL/SQL
    commands. Scary, but seems beside the point. The HOC requirement is one solution to this problem, but it seems like a sub-optimal one. Again, this punishes Oracle professionals already working in the field who'd like to become certified. Why is there no regard for them? One way to correct this, if this is a genuine concern on Oracle's part, is to include a "live" aspect to the exams. Then, if this causes a fail, those who flunk might be interested in taking HOCs to remedy this. In this day and age, I'm certain training could involve interactive SQL*PLUS sessions, etc. Only a failure of imagination and will could prevent I suspect; particularly in a world of virtualization. I'd consider a redesign of exams before I'd require people to pay for classes they may be unable to pay for. It's a bit of an insult to working Oracle professionals who want to add certification.
    I agree to some extent. Again, the issue is the consistency in experience. I have met people with 10 years of experience, and others with 10 times 1 year of experience.
    A modest Intro to SQL course will count? But an OCA will already have that knowledge. I wish this was consistently true. Then I mispoke. But the HOC still punishes existing Oracle professionals.
    I sympathize. I'm an independent, and all exams and certification costs come out of my own (corporate=me) pocket. But life in the professional fast lane is not
    cheap. This topic has been the source of some contention for quite some time.
    Unfortunately a number of people have been unscrupulous in their method of getting certification - cheating, using gunners, and so on - and I see this as one of
    the few ways to combat the issue. If the cheating issue is just left alone, the value of OCP (and any other certification) is effectively lost.The unscrupulous, I'm afraid, will always be with us. This problem is not solved, I'm also afraid, by requiring a costly HOC. It is in my opinion one potential solution of many, and not at all the best one. I wonder how other vendors with certifications handle this. I do know that some industry-generic certifications require proof of X years of work in the field (e.g. GISPs), as well as providing proof of various contributions to the field. This could be gamed as well I suppose. But the honest should not be punished along with the dishonest.Basically I agree with the sentiment. Implementation is the issue.

    Bottom line: in my view, a few alternate solutions to the HOC are:
    1) Allow submission of work credentials to substitute for the HOC
    2) Incorporate hands-on aspects to the exam, e.g. a SQL*PLUS simulator.
    I'm sure the brilliant minds at Oracle, or a suitable contractor, could easily accomplish #2. And #1 might be a true bar-raiser. It seems highly unlikely to me that, say, requiring an Intro to SQL HOC course raises the bar more than a few millimeters.There have been many discussions around this. Several of us have even considered non-vendor certifications as a route to accomplish this.
    It is an imperfect world. But hopefully the steps will correct some of the deficiencies.
    I am sure Paul and the rest of the Certification team would be happy to hear more feedback on how to implement practical verifiable real-world experience alternatives to the HOC that do not increase Oracle's costs.

    Since both are unlikely to happen any time soon, what is the least expensive option for the HOC and where do I find a list of courses and institutions that offer them? In my view, Oracle should provide this information as a courtesy. No reason not to unless there is a revenue motive; and the author of the blog posts you sent me assures us the addition of the HOC is not a revenue enhancement maneuver. I'd be more inclined to believe it if those words were backed-up with helpful actions like the one I've proposed--since such a thing seems not to exist.All courses and course locations are available through http://education.oracle.com (and have been available for years) as well as the price. Oracle's policy does not allow for much price variation for education. The exception is when bulk purchased are negotiated, which is outside what you and I can talk with them about.
