Lack of useful components for application developer :-(

I want to share some remarks about our rewrite old Windows application to new AIR/flex application.
If any Adobe staff will reading this it will be great :-)
For colorfull web application with exotic buttons is Flex undoubtedly great choice.
But there is many developers (and firms like us) who looking for something little different.
We got bunch of Windows application written in Delphi. And we want (must) to move to another technology.
AIR is superior in language, runtime, simple move-to-web, blazeDS, tools and ecosystem growth is promising.
The only bad thing about Flex/AIR is UI. Yes, you hear right. UI is our biggest show-killer. And I am afraid that even with spark it will not be better.
We wrote application not coloring-book.
So we want only basic but state-of-the-art UI-standard componnets.
ToolBar, CoolBar, Button with three states, Button with icon and auto-disabled-grayed-icon, etc..
1) I found on the web three technique how to add icon on the spark button. Two of them include skinning. Absolutly confusing!
2) No useful CoolBar. How long it takes make CoolBar like in Adobe Acrobat Reader or MS Word in my application? This is matters for me!
I dont want two or three full-time developers extra for making basic components for us.
In this point Silverlight got 100% lead. No doubt.
http://www.componentone.com/SuperProducts/StudioSilverlight/
http://demos.devexpress.com/AgMenuDemos/
We still evaluate both technologies. We like Flex because is more JAVA friendly that SilverLight, but lack of usefull components will be final dead-end.
Am so sorry.
Know Adobe staff about this issues?
Want Adobe application-developers or only web-developers?
Planning Adobe making application components in the future or is satisfied with current state?

One thing is what is technology is better for me. More jobs in the future.
Another thing is what is better path for migrating a lot Delphi application.
Is realy so hard to make simple, nice and usefull toolbar in Flex? I cant find anything. So maybe I must try myself :-(
What you mean with "Microsoft can no longer execute on new technologies well"?
My main question in previous post should be "what about lack of useful components".
And I expected one of this answers:
Adobe is happy with current state. Main Adobe bussines is colorful web-application.
Adobe know there should be rich components, but now has no time. In the near future Adobe deal with it.
I am dummy person and making great "toolbar" is easy as a piece of cake.

Oracle 11g and Supported Programming Languages for application development

Hi,
Currently we are running our Java application on Oracle 10g Lite. We are planning to upgrade to Oracle 11g Lite very soon. I have below queries to be answered.
1. What are the programming languages supported for application development to work with Oracle 11g Lite mobile server and client ?
    - i have seen some note saying java and .net are supported. Wanted to know the complete list of supported programming languages on Oracle 10g Lite
2. Oracle Forms 10g is supported on Oracle 11g Lite platform ?
    - i have some online application running on Oracle 10G Forms. Wanted to extend this to offline model using Oracle 10g Lite
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar.G

Hi Ashok,
1. What are the programming languages supported for application development to work with Oracle 11g Lite mobile server and client ?
            For the 11g version of the product, we changed the name to Oracle Database Mobile Server.    For clarity purposes, there is no product called Oracle 11g Lite mobile server.
            For a detailed list of what is/is not supported on the client, please consult the documentation.   See section 2.1 of the Mobile Client guide. For programming languages you
            can use what you want, and we support the following technologies, JDBC, ODBC, ADO.NET. What you code your application in is up to you.
2. Oracle Forms 10g is supported on Oracle 11g Lite platform ?
               On the database mobile server side of things we do not do testing with Oracle Forms 10g.    I do not know enough about applications developed with the Forms' product.   Database Mobile Server is a product that keeps tracks of changes that occur in a database, and then propagates those changes to an Oracle backend.   We offer 2 way synchronization between an Oracle backend database and a client. If you are running the Forms application on the Oracle backend and want to propagate changes done out to the client, then this should work.    I say ** should **   because we have not tested it but I cannot think of a reason why it would not work.   It would be up to you to develop the client side application that would look at the data in the client database and display it to the user.    In the 11.x version of the product, we support 2 client databases, Berkeley DB and SQLite.
thanks

Oca 11g database certification for application developer

do i need oca 9i certification for getting 11g database certification for application developer not for DBA

user9334987 wrote:
some of my friend told me that i have to give 9i oca exams (one sql and one is for plsql) to appear for 11g oca. it means i will be eligible for 11g oca only after passing oca 9i is it true. i have seen your post given by you but it doesnot contain the answer of above question.Often I see people you say my friend say this .... my friends say that ... so often the friend is wrong. [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] is authorative. Well usually.
The problems start when people are imprecise about the certification they are seeking ... the list is here ....
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141]
If you notice there is no mention of '11g oca' or '9i oca' in the list.
There is mention of:
- Oracle 11g DBA OCA
- Oracle9i DBA OCA
- Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA
And one can drill down links to see the requirements for these certifcations:
for example for a - Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA a pass in one of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051 (or 1z0-001) ) plus a pass in one of (1z0-144 or 1z0-147) is required.
There is a post from mediaguy (that goes to a blog that is currently unavailable at the time of this post ... but will proably be fixed in a day or two) that I feel has a chance of being relevant also (note i have not read it yet). {thread:id=1049842}

Using XCode for Cross Developing (Target would be Linux x86)

I'm developing RealTime Software - running as RT-Kernel modules - written in C for Linux x86 (RTlinux on Kernel Version >2.4.32 or RTAI on Kernel Version 2.6.x).
At the moment I develop using ssh and vi on the target machine. This is NOT very comfortable.
After searching your forum I found:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2322911&#2322911
Fine Links to the XCode Documentation. But reading it I just found how to cross develop to MacOS X targets (x86 and PPC).
Can you please tell me, if it is possible to use XCode for cross development with target machines using Linux on x86?
Thank you
Johann

In theory, yes. In practice, no. You would need a version of GCC that supports targeting that architecture and all the header and library files for that architecture. It is highly unlikely to be worth the time and effort to try it and it may not even work even if you do everything right. Plus, you would still have to run and test on the target platform.
You'll just have to make life the best that you can on Linux. I suggest downloading the NEdit editor for X Windows. It is as good as any Mac editor and very easy to script for automation.

Can you use ABAP for B1 Development

Hi
I have been lookng for answer for the following 2 questons.
1. Is is it possible to use ABAP for B1 Development to create Add-ons.
2. In the standard forms/reports there is no figure to words conversion. Please high light on how to do this.
Ramesh Shankaran

Short answer: no you cannot.
Longer answer: B1 gives you access to its objects and GUI
with COM-based libraries. Any language that supports COM
can be used, included VB, VB.NET, C#, C and C++. A wrapper
for Java is also provided to access B1 objects.

Recommended machine for application development

Hi, I am new to the whole apple interface but I am looking into application development for the iphone or ipad? What is a recommended machine (macbook pro, mac mini, imac) would I need dual monitor, etc. in order to develop a moderate graphic application? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

Any late model Mac with at least 4GB of RAM will work.
I used a 2008 MacBook Air to develop a largish iPad app.
But I also had a 24" display. While not required, a large display makes things much easier.
With that as a starting point, add as much RAM as you can afford. That makes a huge difference when using Xcode/Instruments.

Problem in configuring SSO using SAML for applications hosted on diff m/c

Hi Techies,
I am stuck in a weird problem for past month or so without any resolution. Not much help by googling. So I hope i get the answer from the mouth of the horses -
I am trying to use SSO using the sample application appA and appB as stated in the tutorial of SSO by BEA.
I am summarizing the problem below -
Steps followed for Configuring SSO using SAML
1. Created 2 domains on 2 seperate machines namely domainA and domainB
2. Source appliction is deployed on domainA and the target application is deployed on domaninB
The steps mentioned in the following tutorial has been followed-
http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2006/12/sso-with-saml.html
3. As mentioned in the tutorial the certificate is generated using keytool utility. The same certificate is copied
to WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib of destination machine.
4. The certificate was successfully registered on desitnation or host 2 but while activating the configuration
changes(SSL client Ientity Alias and SSL Client Identity Pass Phrase) for Federation services the following error
is thrown -
" SAMLBeanUpdateListener: SAMLKeyManager.prepareUpdate() failed with exception:
weblogic.descriptor.BeanUpdateRejectedException: SAML key Manage failed to validate key (SSL Client) configuration
in the FederationServicesMBean, key alias: testalias "
The interesting bit of the problem is that the same configuration works on 2 domains created on same machine. The
problem only occurs when domains are created on seperate machines.
Alterative to the problem: when the certificate is generated seperately for domainB and copied to
WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib, it works. However, the certificate generated in domainA should have been copied.
Note: I am using Weblogic portal 9.2.1
Any quick replies will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi François,
You are right about the use of the NameID format. But the issue here is/was that OIF at SP is integrated with OAM, and the authenticated user at OIF-SP and OAM will be the Anonymous user rather than the user who was identified at the IdP even though the remaining attributes sent are for the IdP user. I think these attributes can be used by with OAM for authorization using custom authorization plug-ins but haven't tried that one out.
As for the attribute sharing profile, it's this one - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18058/sstc-saml-x509-authn-attrib-profile-cd-02.pdf, although for the life of me, I cannot remember why I suggested this in the first place!

Performance Tuning Certification for Application Developer

Hi,
Can you please advise if there is any Oracle Performance Tuning certification for an Application Developer and Oracle 9i to 10G migration certification? If yes, can you please let me know its Oracle examination number?
I have already passed 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147 in Oct 2008.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep Kumar

... if there is any Oracle Performance Tuning certification for an Application Developer ...There is no performance tuning related certification for application developers. There is one for the DBA track.
Also -- to answer your question in the other thread:
So to clear this certification do I need to re-appear all the 3 exams as they were given in 2008 or just 1Z0-146 is enough.Having passed 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147, if you pass 1Z0-046, you will gain the certification: Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional

Using ALEAUD for application reply? or build a new IDOC ?

Hello.
I have a scenario where a 3rd party sends me a message, that I map in my PI to an ACC_DOCUMENT IDOC.
I need to send a reply on the ACC_DOCUMENT IDOC after processing it.
The reply must contain several applicative values from the IDOC - so that the 3rd party will be able to
"understand" on what message it receives the reply.
Should I use ALEAUD in this case? I'll have to add an extension so that it will contain the applicative values.
Or should I build a new IDOC or ABAP proxy to send the reply back? will I be able to generate it when I process the IDOC?
Anyone has a Rule of thumb on this matter?
Thanks in advance,
Imanuel Rahamim.

Hi,
If you want to give the application response with minimal effor, you might want to change the ACC_DOCUMENT IDoc used so far to calling BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST. Actually, their data structures are identical, because ACC_DOCUMENT is an ALE interface generated for this BAPI. Thanks to this, you will immediately receive application response from your ECC system, including information like document number of the document posted, and similar.
Alternatively, if you do not want to use synchronous scenario, I recommend developing a custom ABAP Proxy that you will use to pass posting information from ECC to PI to your 3rd party system. You can call this Proxy after each IDoc is posted, or on a regular basis to collect multiple postings information into a single call. I think this will be easier to do it from scratch than to enhance ALEAUD message.
Or you can go one step further and configure FIDCC2 IDoc distribution to have the financial postings automatically sent from ECC to PI to 3rd party, immediately after the posting document is created. It is up to you to decide, based on the actual requirements and possibilities of the 3rd party system.
Hope you'll find this useful,
Greg

Using SPAU for custom development

Hi Guys,
take the following szenario:
We have Development system A and a copy of this system Development system B. Where B is the project system. In the time the systems A and B will be enhanced using different development. At one point in time the developments from system B should be merged with system A. Could this merge be done using some similar functionality like the SPAU after SAP-Upgrade to ensure the developments with origin in A and developments with origin in B are compared and amended in the right way ?
Thanks for any idea in managing this.
Best regards,
André

ok a small excourse on SPAU.
When transporting a transport request into the system (same for hot-packages or release-change), a new version is beeing put into the version managment of the referred object.
SPAU compares the active versions with the ones which got transported.
Problem at this edge is that SPAU just scans for modifications.
Modifications are changes to SAP-Standard objects. SPAU just checks for differences in SAP object.
Objects in customer name room, x or y will be ignored.
Thats why i dont think you can use SPAU.
BUT well you could copy the SPAU, and then reprogramm it a way it will not ignore x and y objects.
When SPAU is done and all is fine, THEN you transport the things to test and productive Server.

Anyone use Cloudshare for Sharepoint development?

We need to develop some sharepoint solutions for both existing and future customers. Version varys, and we only have a MS Sharepoint 2013 license through MS Partner currently purchases. We have hence been looking at Cloudshare and there Team License as it fits in well as we have 3 developers that need the access to create.
Does anyone use or have used, or even use an alternateive that we can look at?
Any comments appreciated.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Not for imaging purposes.
You could have an environment that is ready-to-go with the bits installed, but not configured. You would then have a post-imaging script that would configure the farm. In this process, you would also need to make sure SQL Server was aware of the server's
new name (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx).

Using OEPE for OSB Development

Hello All-
I have downloaded oepe-galileo-all-in-one-11.1.1.5.0.201003170852-win32 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/index.html
Oracle Service Bus 11.1.1.3 is installed on a Remote Windows 2003 Server and I am planning to use OEPE IDE in my local desktop to develop projects and deploy it to the remote OSB server(mentioned above).
I would like to know if there is any plugin that needs to be installed to use OEPE as the IDE for OSB (Similar to JDeveloper 11g, where we have to install the SOA composite editor to develop SOA composites) ?
Kindly provide your inputs as I am unable to figure out on how to develop OSB services using OEPE.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Dibya

The steps followed for this are:
1 Download and Install Weblogic+OEPE combined installer on your local
2 Download and install OSB on your local specifying the same ORACLE_HOME as in step 1 above.
Step 1 will do the base installation for OEPE and step 2 will add the required plugins to develop service bus projects in OEPE.
