Integrating Joint Venture staff in the enterprise structure - best ways?

Hi,
how would you integrate a new Joint Venture staff into the existing global structure of the enterpise (Personnel Admin and Talent/Development Management perspective)? What are the best practises? Joint Venture itself would be a separate Company Code ofcourse, but in the Personnel Structure itself, would you use a separate Employee Group / sub group values to determine the above mentioned population?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi there,
Do you use the default consolidation rules or you have written your own custom rules?
If it is custom rules then both questions can be easily fixed.
Kind regards,
Thanos

What is the proper and best way to destroy a java.util.List or Array for GC

Hi,
If I have a java.util.List of objects lets say:
List<File> files = new ArrayList();The List contains 1000 file objects. When my class finishes, is it enough to do
files = null;to make GC able to release it from memory?
Cause it seems like I can't do the following:
for(int i = 0; i < extracted_files.size(); i++){
extracted_files.get(i) = null;
}Or should I use this one:
files.clear()What is the proper and best way to do this in order to avoid memory leaks? How about normal Arrays like File[]?

But what if the List is a class variable running in a Web Service for like months without terminating?You mean if the List variable is a member variable of a long-lived object? Then presumably the list needs to live as long as the object does. In the unlikely scenario that the object needs to live on but its list member variable does not, then yes, setting the member to null will be needed to make the list eligible for GC. But I highly doubt this is your situation, and if it is, you probably have a design flaw.
And if the list is referenced only by a local variable, then, as I already said, when the method ends, the variable goes out of scope, and the List is eligible for GC.
Now, a slightly different situation is when the List needs to live a long time, and at some point during its life, you're done using some object that it refers to. In that situation, simply remove the element from the list (or set the element to null if it's an array rather than a list), and then if it's not referenced anywhere else, it can be GCed.
How about Arrays like File[]? Do I need to iterate through the array and null all the objects or is it enough to just null the Array?YOU. DON'T. NEED. TO. HELP. GC. You don't need to set the elements to null, and you most likely don't even need to set the array variable to null.
Also note that only references can be null, not objects.

There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.

Event Structures-best way to implement this UI?

I am trying to write a VI to control & read data from 4 different "channels" (each measuring a DUT) at once. I have written all the VI's for initializing instruments, communicating with the devices (VISA, GPIB), setting bias, reading data, etc...that has all completed. I just need to write the overall program with the user interface to allow the user to control these 4 channels & display the measured data.....as it turns out, this is the tricky part! My head is spinning from trying to figure out how to handle all the possible events.
Basically for each channel, I want the user to be able to
-enable/disable it for measurement (e.g. if there is no device loaded in Ch.3, we don't want to measure Ch.3..maybe disable/grey everything)
-set bias conditions (only if channel enabled). Allow user to change bias "in real-time" by increment/decrementing (e.g. incrementing from 5.00 V to 5.01 V, for example).
-turn biasing on/off (again, only if channel is enabled)
Also, I want each channel to display its measured data (e.g current, temperature reading)..every second or so. No graphs or anything fancy (for now! ), just numeric indicator.
Honestly, this all sounds so simple but I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to implement this, due to the fact that 1) there are multiple channels needing to be monitored for events 2) large number of user events that could occur (seems like at least 4 per channel - enabling/disabling, turning bias on/off, incrementing/decrementing bias values, etc ), Also the if a channel IS enabled, i want to be continously reading/displaying the data. What is the best way to handle this? Should i have 4 separate while loops, each with an event structure to handle events for that particular channel..or will that give me grief somewhre?
Also, I have another nagging question. Pretty much all the examples I see re: Event Structures and booleans involve latched booleans, eg. buttons that are just pressed once and pop back up...e.g. buttons you press to tell it to complete a task (e.g. "Acquire Data" or "Stop") , and once it's pressed it's over and reset. In my case, some of the booleans would not be latched...e.g. the "Enable Ch.2" button would be 'TRUE" as long as i want Ch. 2 to be read....does that make sense? Then, say hours later, if i did want to disable that channel, i would change it to "FALSE" and while that would be an "value change", the new value would not be "TRUE"..does that make sense? So not sure if that would be dealt with the same way in an Event Structure.
Hope this all makes sense and many thanks in advance for any help!!!

You're halfway there. I'd say the best solution is a producer/consumer structure, the event structure is used to generate queued commands to the consumer loop.
All data is handled in the consumer loop, where you among other things have an array of clusters of channel/instrument settings. (I usually have several cluster, one for test data, one for instrument settings, one for general settings and so on)
The event structure can have a 1 sec timeout, in which you queue up a Measure command.
In the consumer, in the measure state you loop through your instruments and if enabled you measure them and update their indicators.
The general (smart) way to setup the queue is with a cluster containing 2 elements, a typedef'd Command and a variant.
This way you can send data with the command in any form which is then interpreted in the consumer.
If, e.g. you press the Enable button on a channel, you can enqueue Enable and the channel number.

The Excel-Mania - Best Ways of Implementing Excel-Like ADF

Hello people, good afternoon!
I would like to share with you a doubt i have implementing complex, matrix-like forms in ADF. More often than i'd like to hear, users ask for input forms that closely resemble Microsoft Excel, where the dimensions are layered both vertically and horizontally, and the intersection between them must contain an input or output component, allowing themselves to rapidly input the data they need or to create a web version of Oracle Reports' Matrix Report. Some cases are:
1) The user wishes to associate the employees (located in table EMPLOYEES) to the projects (located in table PROJECTS) in a screen that lays out the employees as columns and the projects as rows in a table. The intersection between them must contain a checkbox, which will insert a third record when selected, on a table called EMP_PROJ, which associates the employees to the projects.
2) The user wishes to input a timecard in a time control system. This system must have a screen that shows the days in the week as columns, and the projects the employee is working on as rows. On the intersection, we must provide an input text where he will enter the hours he worked on that specific project on that day.
3) The user wishes to see a screen that shows the Open Auctions they have in a Purchasing system as rows in a table, crossed with the suppliers that have bidded on these (as the columns). The intersection must contain the price each supplier bidded on each Auction.
As you can see, i run across this requirement A LOT =). And, as much as i have polished my "Web-Like-Applications-Are-Not-Like-This" and "You-Are-Not-Working-With-Excel" speeches, our beloved users never learn ;)
Nevertheless, i have been looking for a consistent way to implement this behavior, and i have found some options along the way. I would like to know your impressions on this matter, and if you have any "Best-Practices" that you imagine for this case.
CASE 1: Creating a Dynamic, On-The-Fly View Object by using ADF BC APIs and using af:table component to do the trick on the page
PROS: Less work in the View layer, Preservation of the Table CSS Layout (very nice blue header and light brown cells)
CONS: A LOT of work on the BC layer, creates an awful lot of View Objects, and generates tons of java code on the Application Modules.
CASE 2: Creating the model as usual and working with repeating layouts on ADF Faces (for example, enclosing an af:cellFormat on an af:forEach to repeat each column)
PROS: Simplifies the BC layer, making it much cleaner and maintainable.
CONS: Loses a lot of the declarative wonders of ADF Faces and also the CSS Layouts, since we are using cellFormat, rowLayout and tableLayout instead of table tag we have to manually apply the styles to the columns and rows.
Of course, both implementations take an awful lot of time. Any other implementation styles are quite welcome (ADF Wizards, step in!)
Anyone wants to discuss better ways of doing it?
Best Regards,
Thiago Souza

Well, you could do the following:
1) Create a stored procedure that assembles the data into a rowset with rows and fields like the format you want.
2) Create stored procedures that handle insert, update, and delete.
3) Create an entity object definition with all transient attributes. Make the attributes match the elements of one row.
4) Override doDML() in the entity object class to call your procedures (the doc explains how to do this). You might also need to do a bit of research and figure out if you need to override some other method so you can report rows with transient attribute changes only as needing posting. (getPostState(), maybe?)
5) Create a view object definition with entity-derived attributes based on your EO attributes.
6) Override the appropriate methods to call your data assembly procedure rather than execute a query (this is also in the doc).
Still kind of kludgy, but it keeps your business components pretty clean, especially if you use framework classes to do most of the work for you. (I have a partial example of how to do that here.) Of course, it keeps your business components clean by moving the real work to the DB, but some people find that more maintainable that a kazillion business components.
Hope this helps,

priya desai

Hi Priya,
The Enterprise Structure represents the structure of a company according to personnel administrative, time management and payroll perspectives. The company structure describes elements of the company and there dependencies.
The 'Organizational Units' in SAP, are the elements or structures representing the business functions, and are used in reporting. for example, Client (across the various modules), Company Code (FI), Controlling area (CO), Plant (logistics), sales organization (SD), Purchasing organization (MM), Employee Group (HR) etc.
Thanks

Changement in the assignment of Enterprise Structure.

Please Help me...
Is possible to change the attribution make in the Enterprise Structure?
Example:
I have two Company Code with the respective Plant and Storage.
I'd like delete the assignnment of a Plant from a Company Code and create again a new assignment of this Plant to another Company Code.
Is it possible?
Is it correct ?'
Are there substantial
Thank you
Help me!!!!!!!

Hi,
Yes... I do believe.... it is not advicable to delete an assignment from a live system.
It may have adverse effect. If not a live system, you can delete a plant from a company code provided all the other organisational assignment to the plants are reversed. Example: Plant to Purchasing Org, Plant to Divion, Plant to Sales org/distibution channel... etc.

Business Area in Enterprise Structure

Can someone please explain the purpose of Business Area/Business Unit in the Enterprise Structure? I'm wondering, functionally, how it is different from personnel area and personnel subarea, as we use the PA and PSA to distinguish between departments and business units, respectively. Are there integration differences, or is there not a significant difference?
Thanks for any replies and help.
-Nick

Hey Nick,
If you bring up the help on Business Area within the IMG, you get the following:
Define Business Area
Use
In this section you create business areas. A business area is an
organizational unit within accounting that represents a separate area of
operations or responsibilities in a business
organization.
When defining a business area, you enter a four-character alphanumeric key
and the name of the business area.
In a client, you can set up
several business areas to which the system can assign the postings made in all
company codes defined in
this client. To ensure consistency in document entry, you should give business
areas the same name in all company codes.
You make all other specifications for your business areas in the Financial
Accounting Implementation Guide.
So as this and Theo also indicated above, this is relevant for FI.
Hope this helps!

Mapping of enterprise structure

Dear Experts,
             Right now i am doing implementation project in aluminium metal plant.Now we are in the 2nd phase of the project.So i have to map the enterprise structure of the plant.
           There are main 5 departments in the plant GAP,BAKE OVEN,RODDING,POTROOM,CASTING.Here all the departments finished products are interrelated,like GAP finished goods will go to BAKE OVEN. BAKE OVEN finished goods will go to RODDING.RODDING finihed goods will move to POTROOM.POTROOM molten metal will move to CASTHOUSE,and finally metal from CASTHOUSE will go to customers.
         So here how can i map this scenario, like i have to create 5 plants for 5 departments or 5 sections?
Regards,
Prashantha

Greetings Prashantha,
You need to approach this from a functional perspective. Define what is the Plant in SAP. A Plant is a location, which has an address, a language, time zone etc. and for this Plant the maintenance is planned as a whole on some level. Many configurations in PM are done on Plant level. Also, note that the Material Master data is maintained on Plant level.
So taking this all into account, consider whether those elements are different for the 5 Departments you mention? I would venture a guess "no". Your departments will have distinct Functional Location hierarchy branches, distinct Planner Groups, their own Work Centres, perhaps their own Storage Locations, but I assume they will have the same processes, the same Company Code, the same high-level Maintenance Planning Plant, the same Order Types. So it is probably reasonable to use Plant Sections, Planner Groups etc. to differentiate below the Plant level.
But of course, this is dependent on your business and how it is organised.
