Object ID Prefix Question

Hi, we just activated our Portal and I'm working in the PCD. To start I have a default base folder for all of my content and it has an ID Prefix. com.mycomp
I know for all of my objects I create they are supposed to have this Prefix ID as well. This is for transport reasons from what I understand.
1. Now, when I create folders under my default base folder do these folders have to have the Prefix ID specified as well?
The reason I ask is because if I do add the Prefix ID to every folder I create it makes for a cumbersome location definition. SAP does not seem to give a Prefix ID to their sub folders which makes for a more convienent path definition.
Example: 2nd level folder with Prefix ID
pcd:portal_content/com.mycomp.basefolder/com.mycomp.folderlevel2
vs.
Example: 2nd level folder without Prefix ID (Shorter)
pcd:portal_content/com.mycomp.basefolder/folderlevel2
2. Will I have problems transporting these folders down the road if they don't have the Prefix ID?

Hi,
Prefix ID will effect nothing about you PCD transport.
But Prefix ID can make u easy to search and maintain.
One solution of changing Prefix ID of all object in a folder:
right click a folder and choose "Change ID", "Next", then besides the New ID inputfields,
u will see the option "Change ID prefix of the selected folder and all contained objects" and somthing else to choose.

Multiple fill blank objects on one question slide?

Hellou CP users, is it possible to put multiple fill blank objects on one question slide? And if, how can I manage them for quiz reporting and correct results?
Yarik

I think indeed that you want a score for each fill-in-the-blank object, and that is not possible with the default FIB question slides. Only MCQ has partial scoring.
With TEB's and advanced actions that is possible. Also with the TextArea widget, as I explained in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/widgets-and-custom-questions-part-2
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-textarea-widget-more-functionality
TEB's have the advantage that as interactive objects, you can attach a score to them which is not the case for the TextArea widgets. But I would recommend getting Jim Leichliter's enhanced version of the TEB's as well, so that you can control what is shown in the TEB if you want to create a question with multiple attempts. I have described a use case recently in these forums but cannot remember exactly which thread. Jim's widget is free:

Interactive objects and quiz questions

Hi everyone,
I know that you can't add interactive objects to quiz questions, so what is the best way to accomplish my need of placing a button that, when clicked, plays a short mp3 audio file to a quiz question?
Alternatively, if I am to replace my Captivate quiz questions with new custom slides, how can I replicate all of the multiple choice, etc question types? Are there widgets for these?
I appreciate the help! I was looking around for reference items speaking to this issue but couldn't find any.

Hello,
On default question slides like on other slides, you can attach an audio clip to an object (even an object that is invisible to the user like a rectangle without a stroke and an fill with alpha=0%). The clip will play when the rectangle gets visible, but... you cannot put a button on a question slide. The only button that is possible is the static button widget but it has not the possibility to show/hide an object. You can attach the clip to the Success/Failure captions, eventually show/hide the invisible object with events like entering a slide, or Success/Failure actions but those events (appearing of captions, executing actions) cannot be controlled by a button. If that is what you want, you need custom question slides. You didn't explain really at what moment you want to offer the audio, perhaps you do not need to give total control for playing by a button?
Several blog posts I created talk about creating custom question slides with or without the help of widgets. Here is one link that shows a list of the articles/posts with widgets:
Widgets and Custom Questions
Not all question types are possible: if you want drag&drop functionalities I recommend the Drag&Drop widgets of InfoSemantics. Have a look here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/dragdrop/whichwidget
Another problem is the reporting of custom question slides. I already published two posts about that subject on my blog as well.

Business Object LB - Probe question

Has anyone ever worked with Business Object for load balancing ?
My main question concerns the probe to get all the content of a web page where I would need to follow all the links included in a probed web page to get all the content.
Otherwise the probe is useless. Anything at this point would help.
Thanks

Hi Nancy,
I can´t find it right now, but I do remember reading that there were different XML definition versions for SBO objects. In the version 1, table names where used. In the version 2, object names where used. Looks like the schema defines version 2, but SBO is using version 2.
I will check if I can found where I did read that. Try speaking with someone in SAP and about XML versions, perhaps they could help you with this info.
Hope helps,

Crystal Report Server / Business objects XI R2 questions

Hello all,
If this isn't the place to post these questions please advise which forum is. Thank you in advance.
We are running XI R2 SP5 of Crystal Report server (11.5.11.1470). I have some general questions...and are fairly new to this version. Although I have been developing CR for many years.
There is plenty of discussions here about "Universes" in BO, but for my deployment I don't think this applies. Correct?
I have created list of values (LOV) using Business View Manager (11.5.11.1470) and would like to
1. give the user an ability to select an "ALL" option in the report.
2. If the LOV is large, it only returns a partial list.
Now i have search these forums and other and found discussions regarding the above but none seemed to relate to my version. Either I'm missing some component or just slow.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Suresh
Thank you for the detailed response. I tried your suggestions and neither works.
LOV issue:
Within the Business View manager, i right-click on the LOV object and click "Edit List of Values..." and i get a dialog box that only shows me Available fields, List of Value Fields used, description field, and Referenced objects. Along with buttons for Clear Instance & Refersh Status.
I have read similar posts to what you suggested but never get to the same place as described.

Business Objects Training -General Questions

Hi,
I am just Going through the Business Objects...had some few general questions.
1)What is the current Version on BO
2)Where does Crystal reports & Xcelsius fit in Business Objects
3)Does Power Center & Informatica are also included in Business Objects
Thanks

The latest version of Business Objects Enterprise is XI Release 3.1 Service Pack 2. There have been several fixpacks delivered on top of this as well.
Crystal Reports and XCelsius are tools to build Reports and Dashboards respectively. While XCelsius is suited for creating sleek dashboards with very aggregated data - usually less than 2000 rows per report, Crystal Reports can be used for reporting off data warehouses requiring reporting off large data sets.
Informatica Powercenter is a tool proivded by an independant vendor and is not a Business Objects Product. Business Objects Provides Data Integrator, which is pretty much as rugged as Informatica and provides all the functionalities of ETL(Extraction Transformation and Loading).

Model Object / Business Logic question

Hello,
Question about how to architect the model objects and services in our system. We are defining our own Model Object / Transfer Objects without the use of an ORM tool (long story). Some of these model objects have to maintain Association objects such as:
public class Teacher {
     private List<StudentAssociation> kids;
public class StudentAssociation {
     private Teacher teacher;
     private Student student;
     private Date fromDate;
     private Date toDate;
     // Getters / Setters ....
}My question is, where should the logic be to add, remove student associations? Originally we had it defined in the Teacher model object with:
public void addStudentAssociation(Student student, Date fromDate, Date toDate);
public void removeStudentAssociation(Student student, Date fromDate, Date toDate);But I am hesitant to put such logic in the Model Object. I always thought those should be pretty empty of any sort of business logic. Instead I want to have a TeacherService that does that and instead just a getter/setter on the Teacher object for the Association List. However, in doing that, I find I have to create a new List of Associations then call the setAssociations method on the Teacher object, which seems kind of strange.
Is it bad to put the add/remove method in the model object itself? The remove logic has a bit of business logic in it, so it seems weird being there.

Not sure I can be of much help, but here's my two cents worth:
You have a teacher object and student object. A teacher doesnt really have an association with a student. I think you need another object such as a class object. I class has a teacher and the students (an association can be a business association, social association, etc). That same teacher may be assigned to other classes (provided they dont occur at the same time since the teacher cant be in the two classes at the same time. Likewise, for a student. Complicating things is the fact that a teacher of one class may be a student in another class. Also, a class may exist that has students but no assigned teacher yet (your original idea wouldn't be able to handle this since you will need a teacher before you add students). Another case, you have a class without students. Still another case, you have people (either future students, or teaching staff that haven't been assigned as teachers yet), but no classes yet., I think it would be best to figure out a database schema first (you can use Oracle Lite, MySql, etc).
here is an example:
Assuming you are putting this in a database I would create tables and fields something like this:
Person ((a person is either a student or teacher, or just someone that is no longer a student or teacher but may be one day))
personId not null
firstname not null
middleName nullable
lastname not null
ssn not null
Class ( a class is where a teacher teaches students))
classId not null
nameOfCourse not null
building nullable (may not be assigned yet)
room nullable (may not be assigned yet)
startDate ((when the class starts)) nullable
endDate ((when the class ends)) nullable
teacherId ((this is the parentId from the person table)) nullable
Students
personId ((this is the personId from the person table))
classId
associations:
a class has 0 or 1 teacher,
0 or many students
a teacherId must exist in the person table as a personId
a studentId must exist in the person table as a personId
(if you delete a personId in the person table, it cascades deletes any teacherId or studentId of the same value)
your class has a collection of students. therefore:
private List<Student> students
Your class will also have something like
addStudent(Student student) (throw exception if student already exists) (note you dont pass in the start and
end date since its the class's responsibility for start and end date, not student)
isStudent(Student student) (return true if student is already in class, false if not)
deleteStudent(Student student) ((returns true if student found and deleted, false if student not found to delete)
Your business logic can check things such as if the start date occurs before the end date (an error), you have a class with no teacher or no students, etc. The first case you can do in the database with constraints if you want, but the second you cant since you want to store info for a class even if a teacher isn't assigned to it yet.
One way to do this is to have a validate() function in your class object. The validate() function checks such things as a class with no teacher and returns a collection of warnings if it finds anything wrong. All the above is just something off the top of my head. So there may be some issues with my approach that you will have to work out.
Good Luck!

ReportClientDocument object model, simple question

How can I modify report in runtime using RAS SDK (ReportClientDocument obj model)?
I tried several different ways to modify report (change date format of the field, change field width...), and nothing happens.
all properties seems to be changed but, reportdocument object remains unchanged.
here is the code I used:
               object path = (object)@"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\Samples\EN\Reports\cr_ListOfLateFeesToBeExempted.rpt";
               ReportClientDocument crReportDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
               crReportDocument.ReportAppServer = "sizlak";
               crReportDocument.Open(ref path, 0);
               CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo();
               crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "***";
               crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "****";
               crConnectionInfo.UserID = "***";

               TableLogOnInfos crTableLogonInfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
               crViewer.LogOnInfo = crTableLogonInfos;
               CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObjects sss = crReportDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects();
               foreach(CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObject ss in sss)
                    Response.Write("<br>" + ss.Kind);
                    if(ss.Kind == CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindField)

Linked Smart Objects - File Size Question

Hey guys,
first time using linked smart objects and I was pretty excited about it at first. I have a large photoshop file with 1920x1080 image assets. The file size is about 1GB and everytime I make a minor change the entire file has to be re-uploaded to my Dropbox.
So I figured that I could make all these image assets linked smart objects so that I can keep the master file down in file size since most of the actual assets don't change. However, even the PSD that contains nothing by linked smart layer objects is already 400MB large. And that's in addition to the external PSD's it is now linking to.
Even if I duplicate a linked smart layer object in this PSD file it increased the file size by an additional 10MB per duplicate. Is this supposed to happen? Why does it take so much space to just link to external objects? I was super excited about using linked smart layer objects but this doesn't look like it would be helping much to decrease file size.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Philipp

Hey Chris,
thanks again! I guess I just had different expectations. In my mind I was going to see a parent file around 10MB or something with all of the content being dynamically loaded from the linked smart objects.
Maybe that could be a feature requests for future versions.

Smart Objects back-end question? How did it get so smart?

When i am working on a master PSD file with smart objects, i can see how those smart object layers are linked to the actual source files on my local computer hard drives.
When i go to edit a smart object layer on the master PSD file by double clicking on the SmartObject layer Icon, but on another computer, Photoshop recalls that source file even though it doesn't exist on that new computer.
It creates a file in the file path:
System Hard Drive
var
tmp
folders.501
TemporaryItems
source_file.psd (but named with the actual source file name).
How does this work? How does photoshop generate a new source file?
What happens to that source file? does it always live in that file path?

<<i can see how those smart object layers are linked to the actual source files on my local computer hard drives.>>
I'm afraid you're seeing wrong. Smart Objects are linked to nothing external to your PSD file. The original (raster, vector, RAW, PDF) image or object is IN you master PSD file. It's embedded. When you mess with the visible Smart Object, Photoshop consults the internal original but doesn't alter it.
When you edit a Smart Object, what's opening is a temporary file... merely a place for Photoshop to access the original image or object that is the basis for the Smart Object.

OInvoice Business Object XML Schema question

I am trying to produce an xml file based on the oInvoices business object to use in an EDI translation. I am running Sap Business One 2005 A SP:01 PL:03. I used one of the sample programs in the SDK Samples folder to produce an XML schema of the oInvoices object. The sample program is in the COM DI folder, program #06. ObjectSchemas. When I run this program is produces an xml file that is really a schema for oInvoices, and it uses the GetBusinessObjectXmlSchema function for the oInvoices BoObjectType. If I use the SaveXML function on the SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices, I get a different xml file that does not use the same table or fields names. (See sample below - schema uses the table name, OINV, SaveXml uses 'Documents' in place of the OINV name, schema has a QueryParams tag set, SaveXml does not, SaveXml has a Version defined within the AdminInfo, the Schema does not have this). Why doesn't the oInvoices xml schema match the xml file produced using the SaveXML function. Which example below is the correct xml representation of an Invoice? I have copied parts of each file below.

Object or Reference questions

class A
         A()
                  System.out.println("Inside A");
class OR
          public static void main(String args[])
                           A obj_a=new A();//This create an Object of class A
                           A ref_a;//This create a Reference of class AWhat are the differences between an Object and a Reference of a class?

new A() - creates the actual object.
Both obj_a and ref_a are references.
obj_a is referencing the object you created, and ref_a is not assigned yet.
