Increasing enrollment in current classes

For many the challenge is how to get more students into the SAP classes we offer. What are the best ideas to increase enrollment in existing classes?

I think for students at ungergraduate level there is often a confusion over who exacftly SAP are, whereas MSc and MBA students know exacftly who SAP are and the ease with which students can be attracted shifts accordingly. In soe MScs held by my schools they have seen their recruitent go from around 15/20 students to 60/65 by promoting SAP. Whereas at U/G level the promotion of SAP has to go hand in had with some form of communication about who SAP are and why it is important. That and of course the fact that it may be perveoced as 'difficult' by some students - particularly yhose with no operations or IS background.
One anecdotal example that shopws how it can be used: One university begins each year with a set number of spaces in its labs for SAP and s set number of places, defined by the lab spaces, on its SAP-related courses. Each year it gets around 60 students doing one particular course which has a significant SAP element - one which discusses implementation, engineering, and all the elements that a consultant might get involved with.
Each year there is a gradual spreading of word of mouth as their friends begin to realise exactly what SAP is and what it coud mean in their careers and certainly initial job searching. By the end of the year the lab is always filled with around double the number of students that are originally envisaged - just with students who have asked to join their friends to see how to use the software even if there is no acccreditation. For a year or two this was allowed until the numbers got so high that they had to allow only the official students. The course gets requests at theend of the year that are between double and triple the number of places - but by this time the coiurse is over. However each year the universityv finds it cannot attract that number initially to the course - it is always around te 60 mark.
This just shows the power of word of mouth and demonstration (and a little knowledge).

How to get the current class name in static method?

Hi,
I'd like to get the current class name in a static method. This class is intended to be extended. So I would expect that the subclass need not to override this method and at the runtime, the method can get the subclass name.
getClass() doesn't work, because it is not a static method.
I would suggest Java to make getClass() static. It makes sense.
But in the mean time, does anybody give an idea to work around it?
Thank you,
Bill

Why not create an instance in a static method and use getClass() of the instance?
public class Test {
public static Class getClassName() {
return new Test().getClass();

Java returning the reference of the current class.

Hi,
I want to write a method in Java to return the reference of the current class in a static manner i.e, without instantiating the class. Please help as to how to go about it.
Thanks.

Come on, at least point out where the guy is wrong.

However, that means that class (code) has been instantiated so your question makes no sense.
If you want the class of the "current running code" use Object#getClass().
You can reference a class without instantiating it but it will still be loaded. For example:
public class TestInit {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(Init.class.getSimpleName());
class Init {
    static { System.out.println("Init init"); }
// running it with java -verbose:class show Init is loaded but the static initializer is not run
// loading lots of class ending with
[Loaded TestInit from file:/C:/Projects/Dump2/Output/]
[Loaded java.lang.Void from shared objects file]
[Loaded Init from file:/C:/Projects/Dump2/Output/]
Init
[Loaded java.lang.Shutdown from shared objects file]
[Loaded java.lang.Shutdown$Lock from shared objects file]

I have an add on to this query the solution to which i am also searching
I would also like to know the CPU usage of the classes that are running.

Delete current class

hi, ive got a delete method here but im told i need to write a private class called delcurrent how would i do this?an example of this would be very helpful thanks
private int temp;
public void delete(int FindPublicationID)
//deletes by publication ID
//method to delete a publication
System.out.println(FindPublicationID);
PubNode current = list;
PubNode last = list;
while (current != null)
temp = delcurrent.next.pubrecord.GetpublicationID();
//getpublication from publication record class
System.out.println(temp);
if (temp == FindPublicationID) {
//remove reference to this node
current = current;
last.next = current;
else {
last = current;
current = current.next;
}

Sorry I forget this. Don't forget the dukes from the other thread.
temp = delcurrent.next.pubrecord.GetpublicationID();
Should be:
temp = current.next.pubrecord.GetpublicationID();

How to get the name of the current class...

I'm writing a method for a superclass, to be used by all dervied classes. In the method, I want to be able to find out what class is running, and then use the instanceof operation on it. How do I do this? Something like:
String className = this.getClass().getName();
Class c = Class.forName(className);
if (form instanceof c)
System.out.println(" Yes");The compiler is telling me "the type named c is not defined." What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this? I think there should be because the forName method loads the class, but all I want is the name in a form I can use the instanceof operation with.

The instanceof operator takes an actual class name, not a reference to a Class. Sounds weird but perhaps an example would be more appropriate:
if(obj instanceof MyClass.class)
not
Class c = Class.forName("MyClass");
if(obj instanceof c)Fortunately Class provides methods that do pretty much the same as the instanceof operator:
Class c = Class.forName("MyClass");
if(c.instanceOf(obj))
...Hope this helps.

Could you pls advice, why is showing twice record instead of updation same status by Learner.
Thanks

Is it possible that Maximum Attendees should be alter after enrollment?

Hi,
Is it possible that Maximum Attendees should be alter after enrollment in the class?
For example:
Learning Officer defined a class with Maximum Attendees = 15 and then start enrollment.
employees are enrolled and then before starting the class Learning Officer wants to increase the Maximum Attendees values from 15 to 17, but currently this field is read only and he is not able to updates the class details as enrollment already done.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Muzzamil Khan

Hi, Muzzamil.
To update the maximum number of enrollments, you actually need to go to the details page for the Class and instead of clicking the Update button, there's a Manage drop down list on the right-hand side. Leave the first option "Maximum Attendees and Class Status" selected, and click the Go button.
Change the maximum number of attendees from the page that appears and click Apply.
I hope this helps!

MY BILL INCREASED $60 IN A SINGLE MONTH ...

**FYI*** I AM POSTING THIS TO THE PUBLIC BOARD PER A VERIZON FORUM TEAM REP'S REQUEST *** THEY SAID I CAN'T SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE, THAT A MODERATOR NEEDS TO ASSIGN IT TO A FORUM TEAM AGENT *** THANK YOU!! ***
My bill for standard/on-going monthly services has jumped $60 in a single month.
Below is a copy/paste directly from my Verizon Account page. As you can see, my monthly payment for services rendered has averaged in the $220's going back to Jan 2013. My on-line bill for the current monthly charges is $284.05. Please clarify
BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR REVIEW, PLEASE NOTE: My payments over the last 5 or 6 months do not match the monthly billed charges because there have been multiple charges billed in error to our account that I have been disputing going back to April. Verizon just recently approved removal all of the disputed charges and I received email confirmations showing the refunds were posted to my account. I have been deducting the disputed amounts before I paid my monthly bill, so the amounts below are an accurate average of our monthly services. The rep who called me to process the refunds indicated she would call me back in a few days to give me the correct total amount due on my account after all refunds had processed. I have yet to receive that call-back.
CURRENT ISSUE: I am trying to pay my correct charges in full now that all of the incorrectly billed charges have been removed/refunded. In order to do that ....
- I am requesting a detailed account of the the $50 increase in the current month's bill
... AND ...
- I am requesting confirmation of the total amount due to date on my account AFTER the refunds have been removed. .
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Getting current directory from an applet

Hi. How can I get the current directory of my applet running on web without having to worry about permissin. I used the one below:
curDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
but I get this error:
ava.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
any substiture for this? Thanks.

You should be using URLs or similar approaches, and avoiding File, which will
never work with an ordinary applet.
InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("file.txt");That assumes the txt file is in the same place as the current classes .class file.
For example, the same folder or that they are jarred in the same "folder" in the jar.
You can also use a URL directly:
URL url = ...
InputStream in = url.openStream();and you can construct that URL with the help of Applet methods getDocumentBase or getCodeBase:
URL url = new URL(this.getDocumentBase(), "file.txt");That assumes the txt file is in the same folder as the html file in which the applet is embedded.

Creation of developement class,package and access key

COULD ANYBODY EXPLAIN about
creation of developement class,package and access key
and who will create them?

Working With Development Objects
Any component of an application program that is stored as a separate unit in the R/3 Repository is called a development object or a Repository Object. In the SAP System, all development objects that logically belong together are assigned to the same development class.
Object Lists
In the Object Navigator, development objects are displayed in object lists, which contain all of the elements in a development class, a program, global class, or function group.
Object lists show not only a hierarchical overview of the development objects in a category, but also tell you how the objects are related to each other. The Object Navigator displays object lists as a tree.
The topmost node of an object list is the development class. From here, you can navigate right down to the lowest hierarchical level of objects. If you select an object from the tree structure that itself describes an object list, the system displays just the new object list.
For example:
Selecting an Object List in the Object Navigator
To select development objects, you use a selection list in the Object Navigator. This contains the following categories:
Category
Meaning
Application hierarchy
A list of all of the development classes in the SAP System. This list is arranged hierarchically by application components, component codes, and the development classes belonging to them
Development class
A list of all of the objects in the development class
Program
A list of all of the components in an ABAP program
Function group
A list of all of the function modules and their components that are defined within a function group
Class
A list of all of the components of a global class. It also lists the superclasses of the class, and all of the inherited and redefined methods of the current class.
Internet service
A list of all of the componentse of an Internet service:
Service description, themes, language resources, HTML templates and MIME objects.
When you choose an Internet service from the tree display, the Web Application Builder is started.
See also Integrating Internet Services.
Local objects
A list of all of the local private objects of a user.
Objects in this list belong to development class $TMP and are not transported. You can display both your own local private objects and those of other users. Local objects are used mostly for testing. If you want to transport a local object, you must assign it to another development class. For further information, refer to Changing Development Classes
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/d1/80194b454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
Creating the Main Package
Use
The main package is primarily a container for development objects that belong together, in that they share the same system, transport layer, and customer delivery status. However, you must store development objects in sub-packages, not in the main package itself.
Several main packages can be grouped together to form a structure package.
Prerequisites
You have the authorization for the activity L0 (All Functions) using the S_DEVELOP authorization object.
Procedure
You create each normal package in a similar procedure to the one described below. It can then be included as a sub-package in a main package.
To create a main package:
1.       Open the Package Builder initial screen (SE21 or SPACKAGE).
2.       In the Package field, enter a name for the package that complies with the tools Naming Conventions
Within SAP itself, the name must begin with a letter from A to S, or from U to X.
3.       Choose Create.
The system displays the Create Package dialog box.
4.       Enter the following package attributes:
Short Text
Application Component
From the component hierarchy of the SAP system, choose the abbreviation for the application component to which you want to assign the new package.
Software component
Select an entry. The software component describes a set of development objects that can only be delivered in a single unit. You should assign all the sub-packages of the main package to this software component.
Exception: Sub-packages that will not be delivered to customers must be assigned to the HOMEsoftware component.
Main Package
This checkbox appears only if you have the appropriate authorization (see Prerequisites).
To indicate that the package is a main package, check this box.
5.       Choose Save.
6.       In the dialog box that appears, assign a transport request.
Result
The Change package screen displays the attributes of the new package. To display the object list for the package in the Object Navigator as well, choose from the button bar.
You have created your main package and can now define a structure within it. Generally, you will continue by adding sub-packages to the main package. They themselves will contain the package elements you have assigned.

XSLT mapping calls Java class, with hardcoded values-problem at Transport

Hi All,
I know the subject may be misguiding, but i need some suggestions how to handle the following scenario.
From my XSLT mapping, i am calling a java function which performs a data connection to an oracle database and then returns some values, whcih i have mapped in the mapping.
The problem is, i have hardcoded the Connection parameters....
and now that we transport these objects to production, the connection parameters will change.
I thought of two solutions
1) i create a new java class for Production system
2) i define the parameters as input arguemnts to my method, whcih is called from XSLT mapping
But in both cases, if theres any chg in future, there will a dependancy on one of the objects to be changed and sent again.
What is the suggested way? is there nothing like a property file(like in EP), where you define dependant parameters...and the file is only changed.
XI Gurus, please suggest me the correct way to handle.....
Thanks a lot.
Mona

Mona,
This is what i do..
1) Parametrize ur current calling class,
2) define a separate class called dbConnect.java there, you have all your parameters that way when there is a change your main program is untouched, and you just need to change the dbconnect.
The call from your current class will be just like
dbConnect.Runsql("sql as a string");
the runSql can then internally call
dbConnect().connect(); //that should do the connection opening.
then create a prepared statement from your string input and call the db.......
this is the implementation that would be best suited for your scenario, you can further parametrize the method to where you can add the database params from the calling xml..so all that needs to be done when the machine is changed or any param is changed is ..modify the xml........not too bad was that.....
Regards
Ravi
