My jdev 10.1.2 CVS Workflow Solution

Well, I know many people here struggle with the awful mess that passes for CVS support in jdev. After many months, here is how we manage real work using integrated CVS in jdev 10.1.2 with more than 1 developer.
Our projects are struts/bc4j broken down into 2 projects in the workspace:
model - contains only bc4j classes - entities/app module/vo's...
view - contains jsp,struts actions, web stuff, etc.
Updating Model
Under project settings check 'scan source for project contents'
Select all your packages but not the root project node.
Right Click->Versioning->Update , check 'create new folders'
At this point you may have some conflicts you need to resolve, some xml files jdev will not allow you to edit, so you can either set up an exteneral app (i like cooktop) and right click to edit, or close jdev and fix your conflicts then.
The bc4j xml files (1 per package - packagename.xml) are xml files that list all the bc4j contents of that package, CVS has a hard time merging these files, so often you'll have to merge these by hand outside of jdev and then retart jdev to see your changes.
If you do not select 'scan source for project contents' then these xml files will never be updated and you'll end up having xml and java files for you bc4j objects, but not the appropriate bc4j object listed in the tree.
The application module almost always needs hand merging of it's xml file outside of jdev.
Once we're done with the update, go ahead and keeping all your packages selected do your adding/committing.
We never update the model.jpr file, each dev manages his/her own.
View Project
The only big gotcha on this is never update your view.jpr file, be very careful before you do any updates because sometimes it will be snuck in to your update list. Since all the files in your view are just regular files/classes not bc4j objects your view tree will auto-update with new files. You don't have to manage the xml file yourself like in the model. This works fine the only downside is each dev must also manage their own libraries that are included since this info is stored in the jpr.
I wrote this up real quick because there is a lot of conflicting info on this forum about how to get CVS to work properly. This is just what works for our team, and we've been employing it for a few months with no major headaches. Another tip is to make sure you backup your jpr files often because if you do accidently update your jpr file and a conflict is found it can be a royal pain to hand merge the jpr yourself.

  • Dynamic Workflow - Solution Starter

    Hello all,
    I am currently working with the Workflow Solution Starter. It is really helpful and meets majority of our client's requirements, but there is another small request which I am finding difficult to modify in the current DM Workflow code...
    It is the 'Rejected' outcome. If a review stage has been rejected, the client wants to show that as a 'Not Approved' Stage...similar to the Branching Workflow out of the box. I was thinking if there is anyway we can just add a 'Not Approved Stage' in the
    Dynamic Workflow code. I tried doing that, but it doesn't seem to move to the 'Not Approved' Stage. This can be a single 'Not Approved' stage for all the checkpoints of the project workflow and can sit either right at the end or at the very beginning so
    Stage Order is not an issue, but it may be an issue for the code during workflow processing.
    Is there anyone out there that has been able to achieve this?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    SJ

    Do you have solution starter with you for projectserver 2010, if yes can you share the same at [email protected]

  • JDev 10.1.3 / CVS server move

    We had to move our CVS server into another domain (from "mike.mydomain.com" to "mike.yourdomain.com"). Although changing the CVS connection string ":pserver:..." in JDeveloper 10.1.3 Preview, keeping the connection name "Projekt_on_mike" and manually changing all Root files in the CVS directories, there is no chance of connecting to the CVS server in the Application Navigator. The CVS Connection Wizard works fine and browses in the CVS repository. A "Check Out Module..." went through without errors.
    Even TortoiseCVS works fine outside JDeveloper.
    As we have 90 MB source code in the CVS repository and a slow dialup connection, it would be horrible to transfer the complete repository again.
    How can I manage to get back the CVS connection in the Application Navigator?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've found the error!
    In "%JDEV_HOME%\jdev\system\oracle.jdeveloper.10.1.3.3.51\cvs-connect.xml" the port number 2401 of the CVS connection was missing. But this seems to be not the real solution.
    Additional I deleted the cache file ""%JDEV_HOME%\jdev\system\oracle.javatools.cache\persist_0.stf" and the complete history in ""%JDEV_HOME%\jdev\mywork\.history". I believe that this is the point of interest and the solution.

  • MIRO Invoice Receipting Workflow Solution for unreceipted Goods / Services

    Hi
    We wish to improve the flow of Invoice Receipting (MIRO).
    Problem:
    Invoices are receipted centrally at head office
    Goods/Service Receipts are performed on location at site
    Some Invoices are received from the Vendor before site has goods/service receipted the item.
    Current configuration prevents invoice being entered when no goods receipt.
    Ideally, the sites would receipt on time, but as a solution we are considering two options. I would appreciate any thoughts on whether is possible as well as guidance on implementing a solution.
    OPTION A. - With Parking
    1. When Head Office cannot post invoice (due to unreceipted goods/service), user parks the invoice.
    2. This sends a workflow email to the site that invoice has been parked.
    3. Head Office attaches a scanned image of the invoice to the parked document, so the site can review.
    4. Site enters Goods/Service Receipt.
    5. Work flow is triggered back to head office that a goods receipt was performed against a PO that has a parked invoice
    6. Head Office posted parked invoice.
    OPTION B - Without Parking
    1. Configuration is changed so that Invoice Receipt can be performed when no goods/service receipt.
    2. Invoice is posted and blocked for payment.
    3. This sends a workflow email to the site that invoice has been blocked for payment.
    4. Head Office attaches a scanned image of the invoice to the parked document, so the site can review.
    5. Site enters Goods/Service Receipt.
    6. Work flow is triggered back to head office that a goods receipt was performed against a PO that has a blocked invoice.
    7. Head Office unblocks invoice.
    Many thanks
    Adrian

    Hi Adrian,
    Option B is very much feasible by developing the workflow for users.
    OPTION B - Without Parking
    1. Configuration is changed so that Invoice Receipt can be performed when no goods/service receipt.
    2. Invoice is posted and blocked for payment.
    3. This sends a workflow email to the site that invoice has been blocked for payment.
    4. Head Office attaches a scanned image of the invoice to the parked document, so the site can review.
    5. Site enters Goods/Service Receipt.
    6. Work flow is triggered back to head office that a goods receipt was performed against a PO that has a blocked invoice.
    7. Head Office unblocks invoice.
    IF GR based IV is removed, Invoice can be done before GR. Having a GR based IV tick in PO (Mandatory) would ensure IV is raised only after the quantity is delivered.
    I doubt if Scanning of invoice copy is possible in the MM system, but it would be feasible via Document Management in SAP.
    Alternatively, you can have Idoc based creation for Invoice based on GR quantity.

  • Material Master Workflow Solution

    Hello All,
    I have a question/scenario I would like some feedback on regarding the material master.  Right now I have a requirement to create a new portal application for the users to use, replacing our lotus notes application, to add materials to SAP.  This would require us to develop several screens for all of the fields, different fields for the approval process, and another workflow to handle the approval process. 
    After some analysis we thought we could add a workflow to the CREATE event for a material and allow that to generate a work item after the user creates a new material in MM01.  The problem being this would already be saved to the DB and we shouldn't be deleting master data.  We then went a step further and are debating if we should add logic to the enhancement point (MGA00001) in MM01 after the save to kick off the workflow and leave the transaction.
    This solution would look something like this:
    --User enters new material information in MM01
    --At save we check the users authorization
    -- If they are allowed to create materials we allow MM01 to finish as usual
      ELSE
        --- We kick off the workflow and generate a work item to be approved by the proper roles. The transaction would show a popup confirming the workflow was triggered and exit the transaction
    --Workflow would execute appropriate tasks for the approval process and if/when it is approved would call a BAPI to create the material; finishing the process.
    This solution would cut down on our development time for the web portal and allow us to use existing functionality for validations, drop downs, auto-fill features, etc etc.  My concern comes in with is it a best practice to modify existing SAP transactions to terminate even if we are within the supplied enhancement point? 
    I apologize if this is in the incorrect forum. I wasn't sure this belonged in the ERP-Financial/MM/SC forums as it is not a functional issue and it seems to business specific to be a general ABAP inquiry.
    Thanks,
    Cullen

    Hi,
    My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses?
    Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
    So I hope you are trying to start the workflow by making use of events, if this is true then there will be an entry maintained in the txn SWE2.I think the best way to handle is to make use of the Check Function module, This is beacuse I am not sure whether you would be able to get the warehouse information in a BOR Business object,
    So try to create a check function module and map this function module against the entry in the SWE2 txn. There you would be having the flexibility write your own validations, and later in future if you want to either include or exclude the validation you can do it easily...
    The main purpose of the check function module is to do this kind of validations and validate the event.... IF you feel that the workflow should not receive the event then raise a exception in the check function module this makes sure that the workflow wont trigger for that specific warehouses.
    Regards

  • Anyone care to write up a workflow solution using referenced images?

    So, I'm having a little bit of a hard time figuring this out, but I think I got something. I'd like others to share their thoughts and opinions about how to get a good referenced workflow going. Maybe we can come up with an efficient method of working on, say, two machines with only one folder of images and a way to archive them efficiently too.
    I'll post what I think I can now do with Aperture 1.5.
    1 - I shoot a bunch of shots, in the field, and download them to my Powerbook
    2 - I rename the raw files in the finder (my preferred choice) and save them out to an external hard drive
    3 - I fire up Aperture on my laptop and import those pix from my external hard drive as referenced images. This does a couple of things: One, it keeps my internal laptop hard drive from filling up and, two, it will allow me, when I get back to my fast killer desktop, to transfer, or work on, the images from this external hard drive.
    4 - I doodle away, in Aperture, on my laptop until I'm happy.
    5 - When finished, I can export a copy of the project I just worked on to the external drive, but make sure that the "consolidate images" option is off (no need to have 2 copies of the RAW file on the same external hard drive). This will give me, on the external drive, a project with all the adjustments (and preview images) along with a folder containing the RAW files. I'll also have a copy of the project on my laptop hard drive as a backup (I suppose I'd have a backup of the raw files on a burned DVD or another hard drive too).
    6 - I get back to my desktop and plug in the external hard drive.
    7 - I import the project from that external hard drive. Since the RAW files are still on the hard drive, there's no problem with the project finding the actual files.
    8 - But, I do not want to work the files from the external hard drive (speed is an issue). So I copy the folder of RAW files to my internal hard drive and delete the RAW files from the external drive.
    9 - Aperture tells me (through the badges underneath the thumbnails) that the RAW images are no longer connected to the project.
    10 - I select all the images in the project and right click (or control click) and choose from the contextual menu, "Manage Referenced Files."
    11 - From the dialog box that appears, I navigate to the internal hard drive where I copied the RAW files to and choose to "reconnect all images." The badges under the thumbnails update to let me know that the images are back online.
    12 - I futz with the images some more and do whatever else I need to do.
    13 - Done. Job finished. No need to have access to RAW files anymore, although I want to keep preview images in Aperture for websites, email, etc.
    14 - At this point I think I can do several things. I can export the project and "consolidate images into exported project," and archive that exported project to whatever medium I use for archiving. Or I can just archive the folder of RAW images and eventually delete them off my internal drive. This last option will leave me with preview images inside Aperture (along with badges that tell me the originals are offline). I can back up that project using the vaults method that comes built into Aperture. That way I'll have several copies of the project (with the JPEG previews) and offline RAW files (also copied and archived) that I can reconnect at anytime I want to in the future. This will help keep my Aperture library smaller and more manageable with plenty of backups.
    How does that sound?

    I tried out something like your flow, though I attempted to let Aperture do the intake step right to the Aperture library on the laptop and then work to a portable drive by exporting the consolidated project (I tried my iPod as a temp drive which worked just ok) from there.
    The G4 17 in - lorez - is pretty marginal for Aperture. Working with a few images was just ok, but I really don't think it's up to a couple of gigs of NEF files. What I wanted to accomplish the same goal - a reference set of pictures on the working hard drives with originals offline and archived in a couple of places.
    But after trying this I'd say your scheme of importing to the portable drive and working in the finder and renaming with ABetterFinderRename prior to any import is a better one. The more I can hold down the Aperture's processing overhead the better. The other thing I plan to try is to use iPhoto for the first look. No messing with the images, but I can look at them and toss out the garbage, do some tagging and then, on the G5, let Aperture import the resulting file structure from the portable hard drive and carry on with your scheme.
    Once the images are to my liking in aperture I can export a finished set for iPhoto on my Laptop for emails and etc.
    After messing with this for awhile, I don't see anything in your workflow that is not going to work.
    I imagine as time goes on that lots of people will be going through all these steps. I hope the designers can figure out some simplifications. A media manager in Aperture, much as the one in Final Cut Pro would be welcome for much of this. Or droplets or buttons with the more tedious bits of the workflow included would be welcome.

  • Custom workflow solution

    Hi,
    I want to create a form on submiting, it should go throug a approval process. I know there is a approval cycle in portal, but for this we have to use the default page builder/navigator and allow users to keep modifing the items.
    I don't want to do that. All I need is a form with a work flow process. The data will be residing on a external schema.
    If any one has implemented this. Please suggest a way to implement this.

  • RAW+JPEG workflow solution needed

    Question to any pro's out there-nitpicky. Aperture 3. I have imported 1000's of files via seperate RAW and JPEG import option into projects, then created a RAW album and a JPG album within each project via a file type filter. I have done this because I want to have the ability to choose to save space by deleting some unwanted RAW files that I know I will never edit, but keep some of those JPEGs. For some I might want to keep RAW and not have the JPEGs. Sounds funny, but the space adds up when shooting 7fps, thousands of 6 MB JPG add up. Here is my question. I have been rating a bunch of the RAW in my RAW album within a project. I have lots of files that I have rejected. Is there a way to automatically match the associated JPEGs of these already rated rejected files that I don't want either RAW or JPEG without doing so manually in the project "parent" folder. HELP! I didn't see this hiccup and I have manually seperated all my projects this way. Is there a better way to do this workflow in the future once I have found a way to straighten this mess out?

    Sorry - how thoughtless - here are the steps (pretty much off the top of my head)
    -Autostack the RAW JPEG pairs
    -Make album of RAWs and album of JPEGS with corresponding file types as album picks
    -Go through RAW album w/ stacks closed and label all RAWs to be rejected.
    -Go to JPEG album and open all stacks filter by label to pick up the image stacks with JPEGs to keep select all and create new album called KEEP JPEG
    -Go to JPEG album filter by label select everything, get rid of filter, invert selection
    -Create new album called KEEP RAW
    -Go to KEEP RAW album open all stacks filter by file type JPEG, select all, delete images
    -Go to KEEP JPEG album open all stacks filter by file type RAW, select all, delete images
    I just did that off the top of my head without being in front of Aperture so it might a little wrong but you get the idea. With short cut keys it isn't a huge deal but still too much for me to do on a regular basis to save a couple megabytes.

  • Positive Lr workflow solution

    I thought the following story might be of interest.
    http://www.nikoncafe.com/vforums/showthread.php?p=1231026#post1231026
    Here is the text if you do not want to go to the link (with a link to one sample image).
    Lr as all in one processor
    I took the following series of photos of Fawn Lillies with my D2X, 85/4 and closeup extension tubes this afternoon. Thanks to Andreas for selling me the 85/4 - a gorgeous lens ideal for this type of photography.
    Returning home, I completed the processing, including the web preparation, entirely in Lightroom - mainly to see if I encountered any problems. Here are the steps I took.
    *I ingested into the Lr library, renaming my files to a YYYY-MM-DD_####.NEF format and applying a develop preset that sets sharpening, noise reduction and CA for ISO 200, which is what I used for most of the shots. I also added keywords, copyright, IPTC data (including a default title) at ingest. At the same time, I copied the NEF files to a second, backup drive.
    *I made a global WB adjustment based on a shot of a WhiBal card in the field. I also made a global adjustment to remove one dust spot from all the files using the clone/heal tool.
    *I reviewed the images, pressing X, U or P with the caps on (auto proceed to next photo), to select the picks and rejects. I deleted the rejects (X) and then ranked the remaining as either 2 or 3. I filtered on the 3 and higher.
    *I adjusted exposure and the tone curve for a few of the shots. Most shots I just left the way they defaulted in Lr.
    *I cropped some of the shots.
    *I made a final selection of 6 shots for export by pressing 6 to set a red color label for each selected photo. I then filtered on red and selected all the reds.
    *I exported to jpg, using a Lr post processing directive to run Ditto. I have created a photoshop droplet that runs my Ditto photoshop script. I placed the Ditto droplet in the Lr Export Presets folder, which resides in the docs and settings application data > adobe > lightroom area.
    The Ditto script created two subfolders (desktop and pbase) where the jpgs were processed for desktop size (max dimensions 1500 high and 2500 wide) and for pbase at a maximum dimension of 800 pixels.
    *I zipped the resultant Ditto formatted web jpgs and uploaded to my web site.
    So, what did I sacrifice by staying in Lr the entire time? I would have liked to run a mild noise reduction on a couple of the photos - that is about it. It certainly is a pretty painless workflow. When Lr gets improved sharpening and noise reduction and localized editing this will really rock.
    If you are unfamiliar with Ditto, you can find out more at http://members.shaw.ca/hillrg/ditto/. Please note that Ditto is not ready for CS3 yet. I will be putting documentation on my site in the near future on how to use Ditto with Lr.
    Here is a sample of the result, including the framing and labeling done by the Ditto script:

    1) This can be done using Blacks to cut the low end. It has the same Option/Alt-drag clipping preview to let you know how far you're going. As Lee Jay said, Exposure is like the white slider in Levels.
    2) This can be done during export. You can store full-resolution masters in your library, and create a JPEG export preset that constrains max width to 1400px, for instance.
    3) Yes, you have much more output-specific sharpening control in Photoshop. I'd like to see Lightroom store multiple "output profiles" for an image, which would be settings like sharpening that only kick in under specific conditions, such as "image width = 1400".
    4) You can set sRGB in an export preset, so you should make an export preset that includes your max pixel height and width, sRGB colorspace, and whatever compression settings you want.

  • ProRes workflow solutions

    I cut a TV show where we work in HD in ProRes (HQ) and do our own finish. We do our effects in After Effects and then drop them into our final sequence for output.
    Last season, due to After Effects CS3's inability to properly interpret the ProRes codec, I would export my source clips in TARGA format so to maintain proper quality and then render out ProRes files to drop back in the project. That worked flawless and I got no color shifts and my renders were virtually and exact match to the original clips.
    However, this season we upgraded our After Effects to CS4 and we are also on a newer version of Quicktime. The same workflow now renders undesirable results. There is a distinct color shift to the dark side which makes the renders unusable. I can match the color/gamma by using the original ProRes clip. However, sometimes the gamma shifts unpredictably in a few frames in the render.
    I read the After Effects support article discussing altering the AE interpretation rules and have done that. However the article also states that for that to work, I must use the Color Management and make sure to have the proper color profile selected. However, it does not say what the correct color profile for ProRes is. I only know that sRGB is incorrect. Does anyone know what is the correct profile to use for that Rule Interpretation to work?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It's true - sRGB does not work for ProRes.
    I would try the following:
    1. edit your interpretation rules file (for more info on this: <http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7f82a.htm l>
    2. add the following right above the line “# this soft rule should be the last in the list of soft rules”
    # soft rule: Apple ProRes 422 720x480 & 720x486 are SDTV NTSC

    3. use a plain text editor to add these lines (like BBEdit or Dreamweaver) as a wordprocessing app will add incorrect characters
    4. save the file and start After Effects.
    5. make sure you are using the color management features - enable a project working space by going to File > Project Settings, and select a working color space from the Working Space menu.
    6. When you render from After Effects, make sure that you've assigned an output color profile that is appropriate for your output. ie. if you're round-tripping back to ProRes 422, assign the same profile to the output file that you used to interpret the input file.
    good luck!

  • Best workflow/solution for converting Flip HD Videos in FC

    Ok, I have tried many different video/audio settings for bringing in Flip HD videos to edit and ultimately output using H.264 into .mov and .m4p files (for uploading to various web sites). I cannot seem to get a good result - lousy audio syncing and crappy looking video. The footage itself but I am not getting what settings to use to get it into FC, edited, and then out at least in some reasonably decent looking and sounding format. Advice please and thanks.
    I have used Compressor to prep the footage but I was hoping to not have to go through so many many steps to get something done with this footage.

    I have a flip UltraHD and am running FCP 6.0.5
    This is my process.
    • Copy the files from the camera to my scratch folder.
    • Open up Compressor and create a custom preset for ProRes422 to use the existing video size and frame rate with audio conversion to 48khz (the camera records 720p30 and 44.1khz). Set the destination to "Source". Of course, you only need to do this the first time. Once you've created the preset, setting up the files in Compressor goes very quickly.
    • Add the files to the batch list in Compressor.
    • Drop the new preset on the clips and let your computer run. If you have a multi core intel mac, make sure you have set up the machine to use quick clustering. On a MacPro w/ 10GB of ram this goes very quickly.
    • Go have a cup of coffee or your favorite cold beverage.
    • Come back.
    • Edit in a ProRes422 timeline to match your settings.
    Note: ProRes files are not small. But, no one ever said this was an inexpensive or easy game.
    Have fun.

  • Grab Tool Issue with CS4 crimping Workflow, Solution?

    Hi, I've been a consistent Photoshop user for the past 10 years and have upgraded to CS4 about 9 months ago.
    I have an issue where I can't (spacebar-> grab tool) to move my image around without zooming in first.  If the side of the image is not being clipped by the window your working in the grab tool will not work.  I haven't found a way to turn this off.
    I figured I would get used to this but I'm still running into it every day. Instead I've noticed myself just automatically pulling the window off the top bar and grabbing the edge to shrink it so I can actually move myself around.
    I see no possible reason why they changed the functionality of the grab tool...unless they assume that every photoshop user has two monitors, one for pallettes and one for the working image?  Even then why would they have collapsible pallettes?
    It is THE most frustrating things I've ever experienced since I've used photoshop.
    Is there a setting or option that I'm missing?

    Thanks Mylenium, I hope your not right!  But you probably are...  I've asked everyone at work what they do about it and most don't use spacebar as a shortcut so it hasn't been much of an issue for them, though they do all admit they grab windows off the top bar right away and move pallettes/windows with their mouse when needed, but that's just a supream waste of time and effort when you can just quickly spacebar grab and throw.  Plus I like keeping my pallettes in the same places so I know where to look when working.
    My other friend whos employed elsewhere has the same problem as me and actually went back to CS3 because he couldn't use his spacebar shortcut the same way. 

  • JDev Internal CVS problem: no indication that local source is out of date

    Hi,
    I have a situation where two people are coding an ADF BC / Faces project and both developers are editing the model, modifying the same AM etc.
    When one developer commits their changes to the CVS, the other developer has no indication that their copy is now out of date with the CVS. The incoming changes is set to run every 5 minutes and definately runs, but there is no way of knowing that a local copy is out of date. Is JDev meant to do this or is something not configured properly?
    Aside from updating each object every single time prior to make a change to it, is there any way that JDev can change the CVS Icon on each object if it is different than the CVS?
    What does the "Finding Incoming changes" do if it is not meant to flag files as out of date?
    regards,
    Brenden

    So far this is not working well at all. We are spending a lot of time fixing problems caused by one or more files for each object being out of date. We are having to do a force unchanged commit to get rid of the 'mixed states' status on some objects.
    The delete from CVS also completely hangs JDev on both developers PC's as wll as stuffs the AM definition.
    can anyone recommend an alternative that they have had success with?
