Limitations of the BIARengine.jar

Hello,
I find myself more and more in the position where I am being asked by customer what the limitations are
with the biarengine.jar.
There is very little about the biarengine.jar in the documentation and it actually is not corresponding to the
practical experience customer experience.
Could we have a white paper or biarengine.jar guide which specifies the actual limitations you will have ?
What customers are asking for is actually a biarengine.jar user guide which will give examples which
will work in real practical terms.
I can see that the biarengine is actually not sufisticated enough to realise if objects already exist and you
only find out when using the import wizard.
Cheers,
Antonio

This KB article covers some of the limitations:

Export with BiarEngine.jar works, using the API it throws an exception

Hello,
I'm using BiarEngine.jar to export from my CMS. it works fine.
Now I want to use the API to get someting more handy, but I receive an exception (NoSuchFieldError) as if I had a mismatch between versions.
I'm stuck with it, if somebody has an idea...
Thanks a lot.
Alain
Here is the java code:
IExportOptions oExportOptions = BIARFactory.getFactory().createExportOptions();
oExportOptions.setIncludeSecurity(false);
oExportOptions.setIncludeDependencies(true);
oExportOptions.setCallback(
     new IExportCallback()
          public void onSuccess(int id)      {...}
          public void onFailure(int id, BIARException biarException) {...};
BIAROutput oBIAROutput = new BIAROutput( oEntrepriseSession, "c:\myFile.biar", exportOptions );
At this point it throws the exception:

It is possible. I'm going the same way here. However, I remember I needed to contact support because it was not a standard feature of the Ant task. They provided me with the patch that allowed me to use -configSubProjects parameter in export.

I don't think so.

In 7u51, will all jars referenced by the applet need to be updated to include the Permissions Manifest attribute ? Or, will it be limited to the jar that contains the applet code ?

To whom it may concern,
According to Java RIA checklist(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/ria-checklist-2055184.html),
as of 7u51(January 2014), Permissions Manifest attribute in main JAR file will be required.
But, at least, as of 7u45, when the Security Level slider is set to Very High,
a jar without Permissions Manifest attribute, which doesn't contain the applet code but is just referenced by the applet,
prevent the applet from running.
So, the question is:
In 7u51, does it mean that all jars referenced by the applet need to be updated to include the Permissions Manifest attribute ?
Or will it be limited to the jar that contains the applet code?
There is a concern that we will have to modify library jars that we do not control.
Sincerely,
Toshio Shiko

Thank you for your quick response and your investigation!
It do help us very much.
But, unfortunately, for the moment, I'm not allowed to test the early access version.
As soon as circumstances are changed, I' d like to test it.
Again, thank you for your providing of the useful information.

Limitation on the number of applications for a domain?

Does anyone know if there is a limitation on the number of applications you can
deploy on a domain for weblogic server 7?

java -XX:MaxPermSize=... worked, so now the app server starts fine
Thanks a lot.

Interesting. Is that really how you want to structure your server?
The behaviour I ran into was weblogic server was not able to startcorrectly,
it seems to stuck on some infinite loop, keep printing out the samemessage saying
it's trying to active xxx.jar, but as soon as I reduce the number ofEJBs to a
certain number(238) in this directory, weblogic server started correctly,deployed
xxx.jar just fine.Without more information (like showing me what error it printed out),
I
can't tell you where the problem lies.
However, the server is limited by the heap size, and the class size
space is another limit you might hit.
I would suggest increasing the heap size as well as the MaxPermSize in
your JVM.

Is there any configuration I need to set on the domain?

Restore selected report from biar file using biarengine.jar

Hi Experts,
I have created a biar file with full backup of my boe server using biar command line tool.
Now I want to test the biar by importing a selected report from that biar file. How should I form my properties file? Does the exportQuery property work when action=importXML ?
Many thanks,
PASG

Hi,
I found that always the full backup is being restored if I execute biarengine.jar to restore the biar file and it ignores exportQuery parameter.
What I did to restore a selected report from that biar file is as below:
1. Change the extension of the biar file to .zip.
2. Extract the files.
3. In the BusinessObjects.xml file, keep only those infoobjects which has to be restored and delete all other infoobjects.
4. Zip the files.
5. Change the extension of the zip file to .biar.
6. Execute biarengine.jar to restore the objects.
I checked and found that by this way, I can restore a selective object from the biar file.
Just wanted to know if this is a recommended approach or not. Can there be any issue later ?
Regards,
PASG

Maintain tolerance limits in the Tolerance key

Hi,
Could any one help me how to maintain these Tolerance limits in the Tolerance key. This is an error I receive while creating a PO.
Best Regards,
Sridhar.k

What is the Error Mesaage no you are getting??
Solution is as Follows
Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance
In this step, you define the tolerance limits for price variances.
When processing a purchase order, the system checks whether the effective price of a PO item shows variances compared with the valuation price stored in the material master record. In addition, it checks whether the specified cash discount value is admissible.
Variances are allowed within the framework of tolerance limits. If a variance exceeds a tolerance limit, the system issues a warning or error message.
In the SAP System, the types of variance are represented by the tolerance keys. For each tolerance key, you can define percentage and value-dependent upper and lower limits per company code.
Standard settings
The standard SAP System supplied contains the following tolerance keys:
PE Price variance, Purchasing
Tolerance limit for system message no. 207. This message appears if the specified effective price exceeds the predefined tolerances when compared with the material price.
SE Maximum cash discount deduction, Purchasing
Tolerance limit for system message no. 231. This is a warning message, which appears when the specified cash discount percentage exceeds the predefined tolerances.
Note
You can specify whether the system message appears as a warning or error message using the menu options <b>Environment -> Define Attributes of System Messages.</b>
Activities
Maintain the tolerance limits for each tolerance key per company code

Limitation on the number of characters in an input field

Hi All,
We are on EP 7.0 SP12.
When I select an input field/text editor and map it to a field in a BAPI it truncates the value to 80 characters and thus I get the truncated value in the result.
When I pass a value larger than 80 characters in length while doing test data service, it works fine and I face this issue only while passing the data from the screen. Is this a bug in VC? Or if any one has a solution to this?

Hi Ganesh,
Following are the Answers regaring your queries:
Query : 1
There is no limitation on the number of components (objects, classes, tables, joins, hierarchies, lov's, etc) in a universe. But of course as the number of components increases, you could run into problems related to performance.
This depends on available RAM and the processing speed.
Query 2:
There is NO such option to select the number of table to be automatically inserted in to the universe because Suppose if you have 22000 tables in DB and you want only 1000 table ,you entered 1000 tables as the value to insert tables in Universe then How Designer will come to know which tables you want to take in Schema to build the Universe?
It all depends on the DBA and Universe Designer which tables are important for organizations reporting needs.
When you create connection to the DB then Connection will fetch all table from the database and we canu2019t limit DB data retrieval.
I hope this Helps...
Thanks...

Limitation on the number of Collections in a Page ?

Hi All,
Can I know if there is any limitation on the number of collections I can create on a page ?
Thanks,
Rads

Rads,
Collections are not limited to a page but to a user's specific apex session
"Collections enable you to temporarily capture one or more nonscalar values. You can use collections to store rows and columns currently in session state so they can be accessed, manipulated, or processed during a user's specific session. You can think of a collection as a bucket in which you temporarily store and name rows of information."
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/advnc_collections.htm#HTMDB13002] .
The documentation should answer all your questions.

Limitation on the number of tables in a Database Schema!

Hi All,
Is there a limitation on the number of tables present in a schema that can be fetched in Designer while creating a universe.
Customer is using Oracle schema which contains 22000 tables and while trying to insert tables in Designer XIR2 (or trying to get the table browser) Designer hangs.
In BO 6.5 there are no issues while retrieving the tables from the schema in Designer.
Is there a way to retrieve only a certain amount of tables in Designer XIR2?
Thanks for your help!

Limitation on the data stored in community preferences

Is there a limitation on the amount of data stored in community preferences?
Thanks
Sampath

no there is not in the portal...but remember: the community preferences (as well as the other type of preferences) are passed to your portlet code through HTTP header and that's where the limit is (it depends on the app server / web server you are using...i.e. i think tomcat limits by default http header size to 16k)...plus having a lot of data in your preference will be a performance hog for your portlet (much more data goes back and forth beteen portal and portlet)
Hope that helps.

How to use two different versions of the same jar within one project

Hi everybody!
I have a big problem while integrating different web service clients within one bigger java project. Both implemetations need some jar files to work but demand different version. So, i would like to know if there is any way to tell which implementation should use which version! Anyhow i add those jars to the classpath makes working only one or the other webservice working but never both! Any ideas somebody?
Best regrads,
Stefan G�tz

Of course do have the jar files different names but the classes inside of them are the same ... means that the standard system classloader can distinguish them. When you add a jar to a classpath the name actually dosent matter.... any other ideas, please?
PD.: i tryed to add a manifest file to the one jar which makes use of one of the dublicated jars to specify which jar to take direcly but it makes no difference since once classes loaded they cant be distinguish ....see:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ext/basics/load.html

Multiple download of the same JAR file

We have a collection of applets packaged in a single JAR file. Some users (web developers that use our applets) have been complaining that the applet is extremely slow to start up.
When the html page includes more than one applet from the same JAR file then, "ONLY IN SOME CASES", the JAR file is downloaded multiple times.
By capturing network traffic we can also think that the JAR file is downloaded even when accessing an image packaged in the applet's own JAR file.
One further detail: this "DOES NOT OCCUR" when there is a fast connection to the server (or at leat it seems so). In these cases, the JAR file is downloaded once. It looks as if the problem only occurs on slower network connections.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Mmm... I don't think this is the solution... all the applets share a lot of classes (the big part of the JAR files).
But my question is....: why in some cases the JAR is downloaded more than once???

Can I set my macbook to install updates at a specific time? My internet is limited through the day but between 2am and 7am it is unlimited?

My internet is limited through the day and I want to know if I can set a specific time for updates to be carried out to make sure my macbook is working efficiently.

Yes. When you get a notification that an update is available, select "Try Tonight". That will constrain the update to occur between 2:00 and 5:00 AM.

What are the basic .jar files to be set in web dynpro project classpath

Hi,
I am having a problem while customizing the ESS. I used DTR, DC and imported configuration. After that, I created project from one of the DC(say ess/jp/addr). Later when I open an iView from any Web Dynpro component, I am getting lot of errors without even making any modifications.
I closed the project and reopened it and reload & rebuilt, but it doesn't solved my problem. In my classpath settings I couldn't find any jar files except the jre_lib. Could you please let me know what are the basic jar files we have to set in classpath and where to get them from. We are using NWDS 7.0.06 version.
Can you please let me know how to solve this or any other way to work around this.
It's an urgent to be fixed as early as possible, plz help me out.
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

I just bought a docking station for my iPad so I could plug into a mixing board and record a live show. I was disappointed at the time limitation for the recordings. What is the maximum amount you can record a song into GB for the iPad?

I purchased a docking station for my iPad so that I could record a live recording of my band directly from a mixing board this weekend using GarageBand. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the song length limitations of the iPad version of this program. Basically, was unable to capture more than 15 minutes of the gig. I've read other conversations on this forum and can't really determine the maximum amount of time this application can record. Can anyone tell me how long GarageBand for ipad can record at one single time and how to adjust the settings to achieve this? Also, is anyone aware of any other apps than could be used to record a longer please share. Thanks.
CP

I received an email reply from George, the Founder and CEO of Studiomini, he indicated to me that their app does not have any time limitations in regards to recording like GB does, you are only limited by the amount of free space on your iPad. Fo what it's worth, I think the Alesis IO Dock is an amazing piece of equipment. I would highly recommend purchasing the IO Dock and plugging your mixing board into the dock to capture your rehearsal. Hopefully the feedback I received from Studiomini is accurate and I can capture my entire rehearsal at one time. I hope this feedback helps. One last note, apparently their will be a update soon to view Studiomni in the landscape view on the iPad instead of just the portrait view.
