Is custom Pod development dead?

Anyone have an idea what the strategy for Pod development now is? I just wrote the most basic custom Pod using the documented SDK (Flex, xml, actionscript) and discovered not just mine but none of the add-on pods work on iOS. You're limited to just a couple of pods that ship with the Mobile client - document share, video, chat. I admit they're the most important features but without the custum pods I'm not sure how you'd be able to add basic capability to the product e.g. a message banner at the top of the screen, or even an HTML link to take users to a web-base directory.
What would help most would be a general browser pod that could be pointed to any URL - then you could write any HTML5 pod that would be loaded from the server. I've no idea if there's any likelihood of this but presumably something has to be done about the Flash dependency or Connect is rather crippled for the future unless you don't care about mobile.
Anyone have a clue what the direction is?

Hi Oksana,
thank you for your reply.
I simply have a custom POD plugin. Therefore, my POD does not use the standard "manufacturing" link, but a "custom_manufacturing".
I have configured shifts and labor tracking. The option to automatically clock in at log-in is enabled.
After I log in to ME, I recieve the notification of sucessfull clock in. But after I acess my custom POD with the "custom_manufacturing" link, I do get an "resource not found" error.
After I disable Clock-In at Log-On, I do not get this error.
If you need more detailed information, just point me to the direction you need, as of my view point the root cause is clear, as after disabling the option, everything works.
I do not have tested this with 15.0, so I do not know if this is ME 6.1.4 issue only.
Thnaks in advance.
Regards,
Andrej

How to load XML file for Custom Pod in 7.5?

I'm developing a custom pod for our Connect 7.5 deployment, and I'm attempting to load an XML file that resides in the assets/ folder of my project. I run the pod in Flash Builder 4.5 to debug and it works just fine. Whenever I load the pod into our Connect 7.5 solution, it appears as if none of the events for the URLLoader are triggered.
Is there something else I need to do? Please help! Note - I have tried loading XML both from an actual URL and locally. Both work fine in the IDE just not when pod is in Connect.
Thanks

Did you follow the guidelines in the Connect 6 SDK documentation? This document was applicable from version 6 through 7.5.

Your SWF needs to be named index.swf to work, as I recall.

Latest recommendation for custom screen development?

easy points here - get 'em while their hot! : )
I'm trying to confirm my thoughts/assumptions on the development of custom screens. We are installing the various pieces of NW04s and expect the majority of our users to access ECC transactions through the SAP Portal (using Web GUI for HTML). Also, we will have a significant number of custom screen requirements; some may be enhancements to existing SAP delivered screens; others may be new screen development.
What is SAP's latest recommendation for custom screen development?
More specifically, what are various options and their advantages and disadvantages?
For example:
**Web Dynpro for Java
+ easy Portal integration
- requires NW Dev Studio/Infrastructure
**Web Dynpro for Java
+ Development tools within Workbench
- more difficult to integrate in the Portal
**Z transaction development with Screen Painter
**HTML/JavaScript or similar
etc....
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
For me , I have only two choices
1. Web Dynpro for Java
Great front end IDE to work with, only issue could be the performance issue, while Java is trying to communicate with SAP ECC.
2. Web Dynpro for ABAP
Relatively new, however a good tool to work with. Performance improvement compared to Java Web Dynpro.
I don't think you should have a concern of integrating this with Portal, as you have a separate iView for ABA Web Dynpro. The screen can be developed on the SAP ECC and then can be called from the Portal screen.
You still have other options like developing normal dynpro - but that will not give a look and feel of the web interface. BSP / PCUI are the other choices but given the roadmap of SAP for UI, I would stick to Web Dynpro for ABAP / Java.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ravi

Custom POD and Clock-In/Out

Dear Experts,
did someone face the problem with Custom PODs (Custom POD Plugin, changing the "manufacturing" path of POD to custom one) and Clock-In/Out?
When I turned the Auto Clock-In on on a custom POD, I can not reach the POD.
Ist this a bug or do I have to change something in the settings?
This occurs on SAP ME 6.1.4 Patch 38.
The error message is, that the POD could not be found. Does this something have to do with auto clock in, the redirect and a custom pod?

Andrej

Python 3 pygame development dead?

Is pygame python 3 development dead or something? The only posts I can find on it here are from 2013 which no longer works as the package is gone from AUR, and from 2011 saying pygame wasn't ready for python 3 (3 years, really?)
This is strange to me because Invent with python and pygame are still considered the best tutorial and tool to learn python with and do stuff with.
I see in the FAQ that 1.9.2 supports python3, but our packagae is still 1.9.1.
Anyone have any more information? Am I missing something really obvious that will let me code pygame in python3?
Last edited by Swashy (2014-06-11 16:14:53)

Where do you see version 1.9.1? You mean the "python2-pygame" package? That's irrelevant because that packages only for Python 2.
Does "python-pygame-hg" (it's for Python 3) not work anymore? It's not flagged out of date... That's the package you would install to use PyGame in Python 3.

my i pod is dead... all files in it has been deleted. wat to do?

If your songs were purchased from the iTunes Store, you can go to the Purchased screen (in the iTunes Store), while logged in with your Apple ID (the one used to purchase the songs), and re-download any previous purchase.
Otherwise, if you do not have a backup of your song files, they are lost. If you do have a backup, you just need to drag the song files (or the folder containing the song files) to the iTunes window.

Send POST data from custom POD to PHP server

Hi all,
I tried to send data from custom POD to PHP server with POST method. I used HTTPService component and URLLoader, but nothing happend. All attempts failed, HTTPService return "fault" and URLLoader return "0" that means I can't send data to the server.
I'm googling around during few hours... please give me some advice, how I can send data from custom POD to PHP server.
Thanks

Figured it out, hope it will help someone
A bit tricky but it works fine, now I can send and retrive data from PHP server.
Add .htacces file in folder where deployed PHP request handler and modify it, see below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /foldername
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ filename.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
Thanks

Creating custom pods

Hi,
I am starting to play with CoCoMo since i was building a
collaborative educational platform in flex / fms and CoCoMo is
doing most of the requirements by default.
Looking at some Pods like SimpleChat or the big WhiteBoard
the code is pure AS3 with no mxml even for Gui and layout. Was this
code generated ? is there any examples using custom pods ?
The simplest one i could find is the user listing Roster:
more than 1k LOC.
I know its a beta so maybe the best thing i can do is dig in
head first.

Hi ,
We have a set of pods like WebCamera, SimpleChat, Roster,
Note etc. These pod classes support some UI functionalities and
have some minimal default UI with them . We are fully aware that
users might want to build their own pods. All these pod classes
have their sharedModels underlying them. These sharedModels handle
sending messages to the server and receiving them and maintaining
the state of the pods.
For e.g. SimpleChat has SimpleChatModel , Note has NoteModel
, Roster uses the UserManager as its model and so on.
You can use the shared Models to build your own pods and own
UI's . The shared models have some basic API's like for chat , It
has history , sending messages to everyone or only to owners,
guests , presenters etc.
If you want to have new features to the model, you can just
subclass the model. Then based on the model, you can build your own
UI's fresh and new.
If you look at the SimpleChatExample in the examples folder,
you will see it just uses the SimpleChatModel and builds a Chat UI
based on a TextInput, TextArea and Buttons and it doesn't use our
SimpleChat pod at all.
Lastly, if you think the pod UI or the pod class we provided
servs your purpose, then you can just use it like in the
DefaultPods example and if you just need minor changes, you can
subclass the pod class itself and then use it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Need experience on FORM Template for custom system development

Hi,
I need to use FORM BUILDER+Application Server to do development for a custom system(No relation to EBS).
There are many screens need to development, and I want to make these screen look like in the same style, I need to a TMPLATE.fmb to guide developers to do work.
Is there any body have the similar experience?
If there is one good template, that will be good.
Thanks

Hello,
Set default values to Property Classes and the Visual Attributes, then store them in an Object Library for a reuse purpose. You can also group them into Object Groups to simplify the job.
Create a Forms module that include all stuff required to your every underlying modules (drop from the Object Library with "reference" option).
When this template form is complete, you can derive other modules from it, via the File -> New -> New module from template... menu.
Once you have created one Property Class for the different Items (Text Item, Display Item, CheckBox,...) ask your developer(s) to use these classes for all created items in the new module.

Console Extension Custom View development

Hi,
I am trying to get started on developing a SCCM 2012 SP1 Console Extension (Custom View) for a removable media security solution.
My goal is to mimic the "Assets and Compliance"->"Endpoint Protection"->"Antimalware Policies".
I have created the XML so that a tree-node displays correctly under the "Endpoint Protection" parent node by following "How to Create Node XML for a Configuration Manager
Console Grid View" (yep, that is the easy part :-) ).
Where I need some help is creating the corresponding assembly dll. I thought following the SDK documentation "How to Create a Configuration Manager Console Custom View" would
be a great start and thought there might be a related sample in the SDK but this page leaves me with the following questions (I hope someone can answer):
1. What Configuration Manager reference assembly contains IConsoleView2?
I have added Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider as a reference assembly and added a using (C#) for every namespace in the assembly but IConsoleView2 still does not resolve.
2. The documentation is saying to subclass OverviewControllerBase but I can find no documentation on what this class is.
Thanks in advance,
Tony
Anthony LaMark

Hi Alfonso,
I did eventually release the console extension (see screen shot at the bottom of the page
here).
It has been a while since I worked on this code but as I remember, once I got the references straightened out (see this thread), a lot of the confusion I had was just understanding that some of the programming that had to be done was in WPF (not WinForm).
The sample code from Microsoft does work though.
I never was able to figure out how to tie the "tree node menu item" functionality into the Ribbon (at the top of the SCCM console) so that is still on my TODO list.
So, my advice to you is to start with the Microsoft example code (which I did) from the SCCM SDK and if you get compile time errors, look first for the SCCM assembly references (Microsoft.[ConfigurationManagement, ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider,
EnterpriseManagement.UI.Foundation, EnterpriseManagement.UI.WpfViews) and then at the WPF assembly references (PresentationCore, PresentationFramework) for missing class references.
I hope this information can help you. Good luck sir!

Where can I get a custom extension developed?

Things are a bit quiet in the extensions forum, so I thought
I'd try posting this here too:
I will soon be needing a custom extension built for a
software program. Where to I post a job such as this? Is there a
forum that specifically hooks up developers with companies that
need a custom extension?
Thanks!
eCat

Might try the Dreamweaver Developer forum... It's not for
postig jobs but somebody might respond.
Also, check with the guys at Project VII, if they won't do
it, they might know somebody who can.

SAP Cloud SDK : Cloud For Customer HTML5 Development

Hi Experts,
I have Some questions about the Upgrade to Silverlight -> HTML5.
1) When the Cloud For Customer release the C4C in HTML5 mode with all the available work-center "Application and User Management" and all ?
2) What is the Development software/environment to create custom business objects or enhance the standard business objects using "SAP Cloud Application Studio 14XX" or "Eclipse" software?
3) After Upgrade the C4C into HTML5 what is the language use in development environment?
Many Thanks,
Mithun

Hello Mithun,
1) You can use the work center "Administration" which takes the role of the "Application and User Management" with a hopeful better representation of the business user needs.#
2) At the moment there are no plans to replace the "SAP Cloud Applications Studio" by something else.
3) As long as there are no migration plans, there are also no plans for a "new" langauge
