Java Concurrent Program - connecting to MS SQL Server

Hi,
I hope this is correct forum to post this question.
I am writing a JCP which will connect to a MS SQL Server DB, pull data from a table and populate this data into a custome table in EBS (R12.1.1) database. But I am facing some issues.
When I run run this concurrent program from EBS, I get following exception message:
Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: In openConection()
Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: Before Loading Driver com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: openConection() ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: Exception:: java.lang.NullPointerException
Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: In closeSQLServerConnection().......closing JDBC Connection
Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: Connection object was null, hence skipping close
Wed Aug 08 01:18:04 GMT 2012: After Calling processPrintMachineRecords()
The I read somewhere on internet that I should set CLASSPATH in options field of concurrent program definition. So I provided classpath as follows:
-cp /rs01/u02/applmgr/utyeb02/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/appsborg.zip:/rs01/u02/applmgr/utyeb02/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/apps.zip:/rs01/u02/applmgr/utyeb02/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/sqljdbc_4.0/enu/sqljdbc.jar
In this classpath sqljdbc.jar contains the classes for connecting to MS SQL Server DB. However after giving classpath like this I started getting different error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/apps/fnd/cp/request/Run
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.Run
     at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
It appears from the error message that after giving this CLASSPATH, program was not able to find the "Run" method itself. In otherwords, CLASSPATH screwed it further.
Can anybody please point out what am I doing wrong here?

Require user specific F4 functionality for a field in a program output

Dear all,
My requirement is i am using a field for ex: bukrs, name1 for an output. when iam using this two field in a program, if that program executes, i need F4 functionality for user specific. f4 functionality should show depends upon the name1.
In a template i have these two variables, when i give name1 as 'ABCD' and press f4 for the bukrs it should display only bukrs which are mapped to ABCD. Lets assume one table is there for name1 mapper to bukrs.
How it is possible. if so please let me know.
Regards
Arani Bhaskar

Hello Arani,
I think solution to your problem lies in using MATCHCODE addition to parameters and select-options as well.
(This is from SAP F1-Help)
... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
*Effect*
This addition links the input field of the parameter to a search help search_help from the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the search help must be entered directly. For the input field of the parameter on the selection screen, the input help key is displayed. When the input help (F4) is requested, the user is displayed the hit list from the search help. When an entry is selected, the respective value is placed into the input field. If no search help for the specified name exists in the ABAP Dictionary, a message is displayed in the status line when the input help is requested.
The addition MATCHCODE OBJECT cannot be used together with the additions AS CHECKBOX or RADIOBUTTON.
*Note*
The predecessors of search helps in the ABAP Dictionary were socalled matchcode objects. This is why you have the name MATCHCODE OBJECT for this addition. Matchcode objects that have not yet been replaced by search helps continue to be supported by this addition.
*Example*
Linking the parameter p_carrid with a suitable search help. When you choose the input help on the selection screen, a list with the names of the airline carriers is displayed. If a name is selected, the corresponding abbreviation is placed in the input field.
PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE s_carr_id
MATCHCODE OBJECT demo_f4_de.
Moreover, please read about using MATCHCODE, hope it helps you, Arani.

Date lov in the concurrent program parameter field

Hi,
I have a date parameter in the concurrent program. I need to have a date calendar for the parameter, can I have the data calendar? I am not sure if we can do that.
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks a million
Regards
Ruma

Hi swati
u cannt create a multi select LOV for Apps concurrent program.
Some of the options:
-> Create different parameters. Also u cannt create parameters dynamically depending upon the number of options u want to give for that parameter, better fix the maximum no. of options say 5 .. ORG1, ORG2, ORG3, ORG4, ORG5
-> If multi select LOV are of high priority, go for Discoverer if it is a Report.
cheers

Bursting Java Concurrent Program Class Compiling Error

Hi,
I am trying to compile the Java Class that Tim has provided in his blog to create the Bursting JCP. I am using R12, so that would be XMLP 5.6.3. As far as I can work out the patch that has been developed for the seeded Bursting JCP is not yet available for R12, so I am trying to create one myself from Tim's examples.
I do not pretend to be a Java expert, or even pretend to have more than and very very very basic knowledge of it, so I am hoping someone will be able to tell me why I am getting the following error when I try to compile it:
$ javac XMLPReportBurst.java

Hi,
Yes you have one more field in the Data Definition tab that reads Bursting Control File just after the 3 you mentioned .You can upload the control file here.
However both this functionality and the Bursting Concurrent Program will be available once you have applied the patch for 5.6.3..
I've been looking too for anyone who has a writeup on the the way this Program can be used.As of now I am just following the Read Me available with this Patch.
It has some samples...
Let me know if this helps.

Lavina

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Unable to generate XML's for BLOB datatypes from Concurrent program

Hi All,
I've a requirement to print images on rtf layout. Images are uploaded by end user through attahments men
there are getting stored in fnd_lobs tables.
for printing blob images we need to convert them into CLOB and generate XML's.
I've done the conversion through a function and calling the function in the select query which is generating XML when i run it from toad.
SELECT xmlgen.getXml(
'SELECT file_id,mob_getbase64String(file_data) photo
FROM fnd_lobs
WHERE file_id = 2490481'
,0
) FROM dual;
But the same thing we i registered as concurrent program (SQL*Plus) the program is running into error.
Output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'https://dbtdev5i.oracleoutsourcing.com/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.e...
Input truncated to 17 characters
^
Log file
Concurrent Manager encountered an error while running SQL*Plus for your concurrent request 10868311.
Review your concurrent request log and/or report output file for more detailed information.
Can anyone help me through on how to bypass this error and generate XML's.
Thanks in Advance
Jana

Hi Priya..,
I have changed the query and registered in apps and now i am able to generate XML's of the blob image and the same is getting printed on the tempate..
DECLARE
v_colb CLOB;
v_query VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
v_query := 'SELECT file_id,mob_getbase64String(file_data) photo
FROM fnd_lobs fl,
fnd_documents_vl fd
WHERE fd.media_id = fl.file_id
AND (fd.end_date_active IS NULL
OR fd.end_date_active > SYSDATE)
AND fd.security_type = 2
AND fd.security_id = fnd_profile.value(''GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID'')';
--FND_FILE.put_line( FND_FILE.LOG,v_query);
v_colb := xmlgen.getxml (v_query, 0);
--DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_query);
FND_FILE.put_line( FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_colb);
END;

Calling Transaction Import Concurrent Program in PL/SQl program

Hi,
I am trying to run Transaction Import process by calling the concurrent program in my pl/sql program.I think I am passing all the right paramters which are necessary.But the actual PAXTRTRX is never being called and I am not getting any request ID back.No exception is being thrown.Following is how I am calling the concurrent program...
p_tran_imp_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request
     ( application => 'PA'
          , program => 'PAXTRTRX'
          , sub_request => FALSE
          , argument1 => 'My Transaction Source name here'
          , argument2 => 'My batch name here'
,argument3 => 'my TXN_INTERFACE_ID here'
If I run the PRC: Transaction Import from front end...the process is run and import was completed just fine.But I am not able to call concurrent program from my program.Is there anything I am missing...Is there any thing I need to do before I call the concurrent program...
Any help in this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the advise. Yes I was calling the initialize function but I was passing wrong application id and responsibility id to that.Now that is taken care of.
Thanks

How to call a concurrent program from a Custom JSP page.

Hi,
I have a custom JSP page which i have deployed by creating a form function with the path of the JSP Page
and added the JSP Page to the OA_HTML top.
Now, i need to call a concurrent program from the JSP Page, i have all the parameters in my page and i am using the standard class as below:
ConcurrentRequest cr= new ConcurrentRequest(con);
int requestId= cr.submitRequest("XXINV",programName,null,null,false,vec);
I have verified my connection object and it is OK but i am getting the exception that user is not set to run the program.
I tried the below code in my JSP page and getting -1 for all test variables :-
int userId = wctx.getUserId();
int respApplId = wctx.getRespApplId();
int respId = wctx.getRespId();
I think i need to set the context in JSP page to run the program..
Pls help ....
Regards
Saurabh Jaiswal

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,,,
This is a possible solution but this will allow to run the program anyhow.
But the procedure which i call thru callable statement will start with
fnd_global.apps_initialize (3825, 50603, 704);
fnd_request.submit_request API call.
Now, the values of user and Responsibilty is required in the program and it changes.
With this approach we have to hardcode the user and resp.
The same JSP page is attached to other responsibilities and there the concurrent program would get fired as if fired from the resp Id hardcoded as above.
Need to capture user Id and RespId.
How can i set the apps Context in JSP page???

Saurabh Jaiswal

1. When it ran last ?
2. Was there any error ?
3. logfile or logfile location ? etc

And if this is a BDC running in background, or a call transaction, then placing the cursor on a given field has no effect unless it is needed for navigation to the next screen.
When you record a BDC using SHDB there are a lot of statements like this that are added in but are not needed for the BDC to work.
Another example is the "BDC_SUBSCR" field name - this does not in most cases appear to have any effect on how the BDC is processed.
Also, the recording will include fields which have default values on the screen that you do not need to overwrite with the same value from the BDC.
I often delete these statements from the recording, taking care that I understand what the impact is. You can try commenting out the line and see what difference it makes to processing.
When using a BDC for updating a lot of records, having less of these types of lines in the BDCDATA table will speed performance a bit.

How to use the 3of9 font in report in concurrent program

Dear All,
I have developed a report in 6i, and selected the font 3of9.ttf in Report Builder, which is a Barcode type font. but when i register the report as concurrent program and run the report concurrent program it is not showing me the field value in barcode format.
Then i tried to ftp the font to unix server at location "$OA_JRE_TOP/jre/lib/fonts/3of9000.ttf" also created the xdo.cfg file at "$OA_JRE_TOP/lib" folder.
But still i am not getting the expected result.
Can anyone help me out to resolve this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
CAK

You can't just copy a Windows font to Unix. You need specific Unix installation steps. That I know, for the rest I am unfamiliar with Unix fonts.
Some info can be found here:

For specific problems with E-Business Suite, ask that in the EBS forum.

Pass input value to a concurrent program of type PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I have created an executable program which is based on "PL/SQL Stored Procedure" method and created a concurrent program which calls this executable. It is available from SRS.
The relevant stored procedure requires an input variable as parameter.
How can I pass this parameter when calling the concurrent program from SRS? I tried to follow the same logic as when passing parameters while calling SRS based on "Oracle reports", so create a new parameter, but "token" field is disabled.
Please help me which is the trick here.
Thank you.

Well - it shouldn't, but that doesn't mean that it won't make any difference :)
If only one method doesn't work (and I must admit that I never use the concurrent program if I can avoid it), then the problem lies with the concurrent program. If none of the methods work, then there is a different problem.
If you can deploy to one environment but not to another then I would also look at the differences between environments - patches, init.ora settings, profile options etc. to see where the difference lies.
