Initialize of GPIO pins

Question

Hi i have initialized 6 GPIO pins in 1 port. In InPort. I mean the information is going from the pins to the TC65 device.
And I have to some how detect wen ther is ongoing information in the port.
I mean wen there is a signal in a GPIO3 pin to the TC65 device to detect it and to write some mesege to the console.
This is just basic becouse I don't know how to do it.
Here is my resource kod:
int X1=3,X2=4,X3=5,X4=6,X5=7,X6=8;
private InPort inport = null;
else if (command.equals("inport"))
try {
Vector inPortPins = new Vector();
inPortPins.addElement("GPIO" + X1); // "GPIO" + X1 = GPIO3
inPortPins.addElement("GPIO" + X2);
inPortPins.addElement("GPIO" + X3);
inPortPins.addElement("GPIO" + X4);
inPortPins.addElement("GPIO" + X5);
inPortPins.addElement("GPIO" + X6);
inport = new InPort(inPortPins);
APortListener aListener = new APortListener();
inport.addListener(aListener);
inport.addListener(this);
System.out.println("Reading GPIO input for next 30 seconds");
Thread.sleep(300000);
System.out.println("Done reading GPIO");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public void portValueChanged(int arg0) {
System.out.println("InPortExample value:" + arg0);
try {
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("InPort:" + inport.getValue());
} catch (IOException e) {
import com.siemens.icm.io.InPortListener;
public class APortListener implements InPortListener {
public APortListener() {
public void portValueChanged(int arg0) {
System.out.println("APortListener value:" + arg0);
So please if some of you knows how to do it help me.
This is important for me because it is my work.

When you click on "initialize planning area" option time series gets created for the newly created characteristic value combinations.  The key figure values are stored in the time series and order series live cache and initialization of the p.a is like allocating a spot in the live cache to store the key figure values.
Deinitialization of the planning area leads to loss of time series values. So you should not deinitialize the planning area unless there is a change in the structure of the planning area. For example if you want to add new key figures to a planning area then deinitialization and reinitialization of the planniing area is required.
