MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK via dialog

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use <b>MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK</b> to create/change a material master record with data coming from a MATMAS idoc in <b>foreground(dialog mode)</b>, thus allowing the user to see the fields populated with the data, but so far I haven't been able to put it to work.
Does anyone knows how to do it?
I'm currently working with 4.0B
Thanks in advance,
Tiago.

Hi Tiago,
The purpose of MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK is to create/change the material in background (atleast that is what I can understand from the function module documentation).
I think the fm that you can try is MATERIAL_BDCDATA (I am not sure if it exists in 40B, please check). If it exists then take a look at where-used list of the fm particularly at report RMMMBIM0.
MATERIAL_BDCDATA basically will prepare necessary screen logic for you and then you can do a CALL TRANSACTION in dialog mode to take the user into material master.
Hope this helps..

In CQ5 How to retrieve information stored provided via dialog and stored in a node of content folder

Hi,
I have to get few details in dialog of a component and stored it in node of the content package. how can i retrieve the saved information from the jsp.?
any help will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Raja,
In a component's jsp, assuming <cq:defineObjects> has been called, you can use the properties scripting variable to get the node's properties.
Have you gone through the tutorial at http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/components.html#Extending%20the%20Text%20 and%20Image%20Component%20-%20An%20Example ?

Unable to Resolve Conflicts via Dialog

Hi,
I am working on a project and cannot resolve the conflicts. Recompliing does not help and every time I reopen the Project I get to click through some 20 boxes which VI to load.
This is somewhat annoying ...
Here a screen of the "Resolve Project Conflicts" Dialog Box.
All the VIs are LabView delivered VIs and some are Labview 8.2.1, some LabView 8.6.
I am working on a Windows XP Professional machine using LabView 8.6 (updated from 8.5) .
Thanks
nightware
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi nightware,
the conflict occurs because in one project you have vi created in 8.2.1 and some in 8.6.
If you tried only mass compile is in this case not enough, because in your project still some directory dependencies are seen.
LabVIEW tries to load a vi from the directory with a path given, but can not find it there. That is why you have two directory listed.
If the vi are only copied from other computer it may happen, that there where slightly different directory names used.
The only chance to make it running is that you have to go step by step resolving the conflict. You have to go first through all vi which needs update.
It can be very time consuming but there is no other way to make it running.
If you go through all conflicts and solves them, you can save the project. By next time opening the project conflicts should not be present any more.

Dialog Participant Step

Hi Guys,
Reaching out to you for help and guidance. I have been working on workflows and as a part of that effort I have to provide an interface to the Participant to enter some inputs (JIRA ID and Comment). The idea is to take these inputs and integrate with the jira system. I am working with Dialog Participant Step for this effort. I have created a dialog which shows up when a particpant advances the workflow from his inbox. I am not able to tie up this dialog with a java process where I can capture the inputs via metaData object. The post parameters and error is as below.
The POST request params are as below:

Please let me know if my approch is right in doing it this way, if not need some advice on the alternate approch. I could not get any documentation on DialogParticipant Step. Any references to it would help.
Thanks & Regards
Rama.

Murali,
I am not sure to what extent you have gone through with your dialog participant step. But for implementing a dialog participant step few steps below.
1. You would be creating a dialog with some text fields
Note: Make sure the names of the each input element and also any hidden elements starts with ./jcr:content/<nameofcomponent>. Else you would encounter the error that I mentioned above. ConstraintViolation error.
2. Create a model with this dialog as first step via dialog participant step.
3. Once you run this workflow on a payload you would see an action item in the workflow inbox.
4. right click and complete the step. Your dialog pops up embeded with in out of the box dialog. Input some vals in the input forms and complete the workflow. You should see a POST call in firebug which tries to POST the vals that you have entered in the dialog on to the pay load path in the jcr repository. The property name is the name you defined for the text field (or any other component) and value that you have entered.
At the end of the workflow you should see that the vals that you have entered in your dialog are registered on the payload's jcr:content path. Once this happens you can add a next step in the workflow which would be a java process step which can read these vals from the <payload>/jcr:content and process further.
Let me know if that gives you an idea of what needs to be done. For sure it would be a trial and error way to deal with and not lots of ppl are out there who can help with the workflow aspect of CQ. If you are given the task of working with workflows in your work, i would just welcoome you saying welcome to the land of unkown .

How to open 'share picture via' popup menu on android?

Hi there.
I made a little photo painting app on android where you can open (via the native file opener with filerefence.browse() it works beautifully) and save (directly to CameraRoll with addBitmapData also works perfectly) an image. Now i would like to share the saved image.
I would like to use the native android 'share picture via' popup. I found on a forum the native code for it ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog ).
Since we cannot execute native code for mobiles as i can read from the flash doc, is there a way to get this working at all?
Thanks a lot for the help!

I too would like to know if this is possible. I use it all the time with native apps to send files to my dropbox. If it was up to me, this would be a MUST HAVE feature.

Passing parameters to a dialog

Hi,
I am invoking a dialog (not within a popup) upon clicking a command button/menu item.
I need to pass values to this dialog. The dialog is part of a taskflow. And I am invoking this dialog within another taskflow using a wild-card control flow rule.
So, in the calling taskflow, any call to "action=invokeDialog" should invoke the dialog via "dialog:invokeDialog".
I am passing parameters to this dialog using "setPropertyListener". But, in this case, I am only able to pass one parameter. If I make use of another parameter, the called page, that is part of the dialog taskflow doesn't render properly.
Anybody faced such issue ?
Thanks,
Pawan.

Hi,
I am passing the input parameters to the task flow via "#{pageFlowScope.objectName}". I would like to access this value in my called page.
To pass value like this i have my launchListener as follows:
public void handleNewObject(LaunchEvent launchEvent) {
// Add event code here...
List<Map> svSeldRowsBeanKeyList = getSvSelRowKeyList();
for (Map selObj : svSeldRowsBeanKeyList) {
int objType =
Integer.parseInt(selObj.get(ViewConstants.STR_OBJTYPE_PARAM).toString());
launchEvent.getDialogParameters().put("objectType", new Integer(objType).toString() );
Now, for my current scenario, there is only one iteration, which i checked out by debugging this code. I am writing this code, as per my understanding, as given in the jdev help section.
But, the value which i am trying to access in the passed value to the input parameters of my task flow isn't getting passed.
I have no way of checking as to what value is coming up to the taskflow input parameter, but in this way, i am not able to get the value in my called page.
Please let me know what to do here.
Thanks,
Pawan.

Sy-batch value when debuggin a background process

Hello All,
I have a quick question. I am working with a background job and I have a doubt about the sy-batch value. I know it set to 1 when the process in run in background but if I turn the debuggin on [ via the infinite loop ] then will the sy-batch value change to SPACE ?
In debugging I see its changed to space but I am wondering is it cause I am debuggin in background or is it because Its an update task ?
can you please advise ?
thanks,

The SY-BATCH should come as "X" when you debug a background job via infinite loop. Have you called any code update task? If yes then it will be processed via dialog processing so here SY-BATCH will be initial.
I just set this program in background and found that the SY-BATCH as "X" and it goes to infinite loop.
REPORT ztest1.
DATA: l_flag TYPE c LENGTH 1.
DO.
IF l_flag = sy-batch.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
DATA: l_string TYPE string,
      l_final TYPE string.
l_string = 'UPS Surface Collect #954365'.
DATA: l_dummy1 TYPE string,
      l_dummy2 TYPE string.
SPLIT l_string AT ' #' INTO l_dummy1 l_dummy2.
CONCATENATE l_dummy1 l_dummy2 INTO l_final.
WRITE:/1 l_final.

Switch Linked (xl source) Tables - behavior change Excel 2010 PP vs. Excel 2013 PP -- In 2013 all calcs of table are lost

Situation:
PowerPivot 2010 Model based on 10 linked tables (this tables are generated and refreshed as needed by SQL 2012 MDS Excel-AddIn)
Unfortunately Excel MDS AddIn changes sometimes the tablename (case: MDS Add-In Filter changed, MDS Server changed). So after Change of tablename we have to fix the powerpivot link to this Excel tables in powerpivot to get powerpivot refresh working again
Problem:
With Excel 2010 PowerPivot this was possible without big Problems. As Long as table has identical structure one can Change/Switch the table in powerpivot Windows > Ribbon "Linked" Table > DropDown "Linked Table X" or during update
via Dialog "Errors in Linked Table"
After upgrading the solution to Excel 2013 this is not possible any more without loosing any column- or measure calcs defined for this table! :( Every time you Change the assigned Excel table for an existing linked powerpivot table..you
get following Dialog:
"You are changing the source of X to Excel table Y. Changing the source will remove all formatting, measures, KPIs, hierarchies, and other Settings applied to the table. Are you sure you want to to continute?"
Does anyone found a Workaround for persisting existing calc of linked tables when changing the sourcetable (to another Excel table with same structure)??
Dear MS, this is IMHO really a step backwards and blocks the migration of our existing Excel 2010 PowerPivot Solution? Should i create a connect entry for that?!
Version-Info:
2010 Version: 11.0.3000.0 (PP Ribbon>Settings)
2013 Version: 11.0.2809.81 (Product version displayed for dll c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Addins\PowerPivot excel Add-In\PowerPivotExcelClientAddIn.dll)

There is a very similar issue discussed here where i tried to show the different behavior in terms of linked tables in Excel/PowerPivot 2010 vs 2013
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8fd927f7-30fd-49b7-809c-cb1414955638/linked-tables-excel-2013-vs-2010-difference?forum=sqlkjpowerpivotforexcel
maybe it helps you to understand the issue
I assume that MDS creates a new table every time you refresh it thereby breaking the link to PowerPivot
in case you only have calculated measure you may created a separate, independent linked table and define all calculated measures there
this way they at least would not get removed

Document Library Upload 'Choose Folder' programming Issues

Hello,
I have a document library with folders and subfolders and all folders have unique security inheritance applied. Administrator is able to upload to any folder using below dialog. I want everyone who does not have permission to the folders and subfolders to
upload file. So I decided to programmatically incorporate the ‘Choose Folder’ functionalities via SPSecurity.RunwithElivatedPrivillages(Delegate(){ “…” });
I incorporated fetching document library and populate hierarchies inside the security code so code run as system account. However when I call
LaunchPickerTreeDialog
it populates based on user permission and hence if user does not have permission to folder, it does not populate at
all.
How can I make sure to give this Upload file functionality to all users via dialog box with full permission so it generates all folders and subfolder of the document library when user select ‘Choose Folder’ option?
Please note that if I type the correct doc library folder url, it successfully uploads to any folders as my code is inside the elevated permission. It is not good approach to give textbox to end user to type as they might make a mistake, so I need to provide
a ‘Choose folder’ dialog functions but I want to run as elevated privileges as everyone who do not have permission also can upload the file.
I also tried using
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.com/2010/02/sharepoint-2010-folder-selector-and.html but the following code can’t be resolved
if
(_hiddenSelectionField != null
&& !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_hiddenSelectionField.Value))
_listUrl.Text = GetObjectUrl(_hiddenSelectionField.Value);
_hiddenSelectionField.Value = string.Empty; }
How can I declare and make use of hiddenselectionField and
ListURL in my webpart?
Thanks

There's always a few challenges when trying to get around SharePoint's security model. Your options would be to try to extend the LaunchPickerTreeDialog if it's not sealed or to write a custom folder picker control. If you go the custom route, you could
even include it directly on that upload page to avoid the additional clicks.

How to capture System.out, done by another program

Hi All,
My application runs other application in back. How can I capture system.out.println() written by another application & display via dialog box.
Like :execl() or execv() function in C runtime library. Where every printf() message printed to passed buffer.
Thank you,
Avin Patel

You can create an InputStream from a started process. Then read all the bytes from the inputstream and write them to an outputstream (like System.out)
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(COMMAND);
InputStream is = p.getErrorStream(); //Or another stream
int[] buffer = new int[128];
while((read = is.read(buffer)) != -1){
System.write.out(buffer, 0, read);
}

JComboBox Cell Editor in JTable

I've scouered the forums for an answer to my question, and while
finding other valuable advice, I have yet to find an answer to my
question. But first, a little description:
I have a JTable consisting of 5 columns:
col1= standard Object cell editor
col2= JComboBox cell editor
col3= JComboBox cell editor, values dependent on col2
col4= JComboBox cell editor, values dependent on col3
col5= JComboBox cell editor, values dependent on col4
Data structure looks like this:
col1= company object, containing vector of values for col2
col2= lease object, containing vector of values for col3
col3= well object, containing vector of values for col4
col4= pump object, containing vector of values for col5
col5= simply displayed.
I have a JButton that adds a new row to the table via dialog, then menu
options to add entries to the comboboxes/vectors. The kicker here is
that everything is fine up until I've added a pump, and click the cell
to view the entry. In my cellEditor class, I have a 'getSelected()'
method that returns 'combobox.getSelectedIndex()'. When 'edittingStopped()'
is thrown for any cell in this column, I get a null pointer in my
getSelectedIndex() method of the lease combobox - only in this pump
column. Even the part column works correctly. Code snips:
public class MyApplication ... {
private TableColumn leaseColumn;
private TableColumn wellColumn;
private TableColumn pumpColumn;
private TableColumn partColumn;
private LeaseDropDown leaseDropDown;
private WellDropDown wellDropDown;
private PumpDropDown pumpDropDown;
private PartDropDown partDropDown;
private int currentLease = 0;
private int currentWell = 0;
private int currentPump = 0;
public MyApplication() {
    leaseColumn = pumpshopTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1);
    leaseDropDown = new LeaseDropDown(companies);
    leaseColumn.setCellEditor(leaseDropDown);
    DefaultTableCellRenderer leaseRenderer =
      new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
    leaseRenderer.setToolTipText("Click for leases");
    leaseColumn.setCellRenderer(leaseRenderer);
    //... same for lease, well, pump, part ...
    leaseDropDown.addCellEditorListener(new CellEditorListener() {
      public void editingCanceled(ChangeEvent e) {
      } // end editingCanceled method
      public void editingStopped(ChangeEvent e) {
        updateCells();
      } // end editingStopped method
    }); // end addCellEditorListener inner class
    //.... same inner class for well, pump, part ...
} // end MyApplication constructor
public void updateCells() {
    currentLease = leaseDropDown.getSelectedLease();
    //... get current well, pump, part ...
    leaseDropDown = new LeaseDropDown(companies); // companies=Vector,col1
    leaseColumn.setCellEditor(leaseDropDown);
    //... same for lease, well, pump and part columns ...
} // end updateCells method
} // end MyApplication class
public class LeaseDropDown extends AbstractCellEditor
    implements TableCellEditor {
private Vector companiesVector;
private JComboBox leaseList;
public LeaseDropDown(Vector cVector) {
    companiesVector = cVector;
} // end LeaseDropDown constructor
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
      Object value, boolean isSelected, int rowIndex, int vColIndex) {
    Company thisCompany = (Company) companiesVector.get(rowIndex);
    Vector leasesVector = (Vector) thisCompany.getLeases();
    leaseList = new JComboBox(leasesVector);
    return leaseList;
} // end getTableCellEditorComponent method
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
    return leaseList.getSelectedItem();
} // end getCellEditorValue method
public int getSelectedLease() {
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Selected lease is: " +
      leaseList.getSelectedIndex());
    return leaseList.getSelectedIndex();
} // end getSelectedLease method
} // end LeaseDropDown class... LeaseDropDown can be extrapolated to well, pump, and part,
handing well the selected lease, handing pump the selected
lease and well, handing part the selected lease, well and pump.
I guess my question is how do I get the selected comboboxitem (I'd
settle for the entire combobox if there's no other way) to fill in the
next column? Why does the way I have it now work for the first 2 combobox
columns and not the third?

I'll try to provide more details.
I use a JComboBox implementation as a cell in a JTable. The CombBox is editable . This is what I get when I try to type in something.

Enhanced Flash Builder Code Generation Functionality

For voting in JIRA:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-27169
The code generation feature FB 4 currently has is only really useful for quick throwaway prototyping or very simple forms. The generation should allow you to configure formatting via default templates, AND optionally utilize a dialog box (similar to that used in refactoring but with a few extras) so that you can configure the contents of each generated function and provide appropriate function names according to coding best practices. For example:
-User initiates event handler generation
(Optional, if Codegen dialog is enabled)
-User is prompted with a dialog that allows them to customize the generated function name, and possibly specify whether they need an Event parameter passed to the function. (Default to NO event parameter, but this could be a pre-configured user option.)
-FB utilizes the customized code generation format (customizable by the developer) to generate the new function
If you need a "submitForm()" function and you want both a TextInput's enter action and a button's click action to call it, currently you're better off typing it all yourself, because auto-generation is going to put this long-named function that assumes you need 'event' passed to it. An event:MouseEvent parameter just gets in the way when you also want a TextInput's enter event to call that function, for example. Or perhaps we want to provide a more descriptive name to each handler (via dialog) without assigning IDs to each and every component: "datagrid1_changeHandler" or "button1_changeHandler" doesn't tell us what the function actually does. It's a basic coding best practice to name functions or methods after the actions they actually perform, and in a large application with complex forms auto-generated generic sounding function names are essentially useless from a maintainability standpoint.

For anyone interested, I figured it out:
to generate a CFC, you have to right-click a table in the RDS Dataview, then you can generate a CFC. You cannot generate a CFC from an AS class as described in the CF Builder help within Flash Builder.
Adobe: it would be nice if this got fixed – and if someone there replied to posts like this. You do know all this, don‘t you?

How to load external file

I have about 100 tiff files. I have to add an external tiff file to all 100 files. All 100 files receive the same external tiff file.
Is there a way to automate this task which does not involve using the place file via dialog box?

I would try the following:
1. Record an action with one of the files.
2. Make a droplet from the action.
3. Drag the folder with the remaining 99 files to the droplet.
(Backup your files first or work on copies should anything go wrong)

Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements. It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file. I get the message "File type not supported. Can anyone help? John

The usual method is not to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
LR is designed to be the front-end, which pushes the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

Touchsmart software crash in one profile

My 2 day old touchsmart 300-1125 is not responding to the touchsmart software. It instantly freezes and can only be shut down or returned to windows via a control alt delete command.
This only happens in one of the four profile I have set up on the computer. All other user profiles work ffine with the touchsmart software and windows 7/
Any help of idead appreciated.

Yes, I know about the overlap stuff.
Like I said, I was working on it and re-arranging stuff on the page when I discovered the bug.
Actually, I worked around it like this:
Copied the MCListBox to a blank VI.
Created a generic property node.
Linked the property node to the MCListBox.
Set the AUTOSIZE ROW height false
Set all the row heights to 23 instead of 25.
Pasted the copy in place of the original in the control I was working on.
That's what I wanted to do via dialogs, but crashed instead.
Thanks for your offer, though.
