On Hardcoding
Hi ABAPers and developers alike,
Just for discussion pusposes, I would like your feedback on the following:
1) What is hardcoding in ABAP programming?
2) Why do you hardcode?
3) What are the disadvantages of hardcoding in ABAP?
4) Would elimination of hardcoding make the program run faster (see sample code below)
* which would have faster runtime between the code variations?
* code 1:
if V_1 = 'A'.
elseif V_1 = 'B'.
endif.
* code 2:
constants:
c_a type c value 'A',
c_b type c value 'B'.
if V_1 = c_a.
elseif V_1 = c_b
endif.
5) Why NOT to hardcode?
I appreciate your inputs regarding this. Thanks.

Hi hard coding is nothing but....passing the value directly to the parameters of the statemtn.
instead of passing value directly...we can first initialize the value with the variable...then that variable will assign to the parameter of the statement..
suppose we need to passed the value more than 2 or 3 times in the program...
in future if we want to change the value...we need to do changes explicitly in the program where exactly we passed that value...that is some what hectic..
so if we pass the variable...simply we can change one time at the variable value...automatically where ever this variable is using there all the places will be effected..

Invoking a WS from BPEL - WS URL is hardcoded in the WSDL
I have published a PL/SQL package as a webservice and deployed it successfully to a development instance (say DEV).
I created a BPEL process and used a Partner Link to invoke the above web service. When I deploy the BPEL process to the DEV instance, it works fine. However when I deployed the above WS and BPEL process to another instance (say TEST), the BPEL process still calls the WS in the original (DEV) instance. I verified by invoking the WS in the TEST instance and it is working fine.
When I created the partner link in the BPEL process, I had to provide the actual WS url from the DEV instance and it created the WSDL for me. This probably is causing the issue as the DEV WS url is hardcoded in the WSDL. However I do not know how to provide the WSDL in the partner link so that url/server name is not hardcoded.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
JDev - 10.1.3.4
SOA Suite - 10.1.3.4
Thanks.
Edited by: user13163442 on Jul 21, 2011 1:10 PMNaren,
Thanks for looking into this.
Yes, the web service is calling a packaged procedure which is available in both the environments. This web service is independent and may be used by other BPEL processes or other applications too.
I developed the WS & BPEL process in the dev environment and then deployed to the TEST environment. I did not make any changes to the BPEL & WS before deploying to TEST. The only change I did after deploying the WS to the TEST environment is to map the jndi.
I am not calling the package directly -- I want to consume the WS.
I am not sure about the Composite? Is this something in SOA 11g? I am still on SOA 10.1.3.4
Is this helpful? Did I answer your questions correctly?
Thanks again. -
Using the Insert statement in a Java program without hardcoding the data
hello.
this is james mcfadden. i have developed a program called Demo.java, which is used with another program called QueryTableModel.java (a program that allows data to be viewed in a JTable). The Demo.java program displays a menu, connects to a database, allows the user to add data into the database and allows the user to view data that is already in the database. I have a problem with the Demo.java program. I have hardcoded the Insert statement in it. How do you use the Insert statement to put data into a database without hardcoding the data?

How to connect to FTP server with out hardcoding the Password?
HI experts,
IN my SAP R3 i neeed to send a small file to FTP server from SAP application server using abap program.
I found out many FMS which can connect ot FTP , but password need to be stored in Program.
As per security issues i am not allowed to hardcode or keep the Password as constant , as my clinet will change the password weekly.
Please suggest me a solution. How can we give the Password dynamically to the system.hi sivaram,
You can keep the id password in a Batchfile and create a external command which doesnot need anyput just call external command from program and transfer file. -
How to print hardcode text in alv
hi folks,
i am working on a report to display data using ALV.
i want to print some text and its correspodning value. (corresponding value is calculated value).
i am able to print calculated value using fieldcatalog but unable to understand how can i print the text(which is a hardcoded text).
ex:
statement value
select* 0
using macros 1
in my example select* and using macros are hard coded texts so can anyone tell me how can i print do this.
thanks in advance.hi
thanks for the reply.
my report has got 14 stmnts and has 14 error message types.
earlier it text was hardcoded and displayed correspondingly but now we want to remove write statements.
so i am not able to understand how can i send the hardcoded text as the output is not in the desired way.
i want to know how can i add into fieldcatalog record by record i.e. stmnt1, value-1 record
stmnt2,value-2nd record and so on. as this would definitely solve my problem -
XSLT mapping calls Java class, with hardcoded values-problem at Transport
Hi All,
I know the subject may be misguiding, but i need some suggestions how to handle the following scenario.
From my XSLT mapping, i am calling a java function which performs a data connection to an oracle database and then returns some values, whcih i have mapped in the mapping.
The problem is, i have hardcoded the Connection parameters....
and now that we transport these objects to production, the connection parameters will change.
I thought of two solutions
1) i create a new java class for Production system
2) i define the parameters as input arguemnts to my method, whcih is called from XSLT mapping
But in both cases, if theres any chg in future, there will a dependancy on one of the objects to be changed and sent again.
What is the suggested way? is there nothing like a property file(like in EP), where you define dependant parameters...and the file is only changed.
XI Gurus, please suggest me the correct way to handle.....
Thanks a lot.
MonaMona,
This is what i do..
1) Parametrize ur current calling class,
2) define a separate class called dbConnect.java there, you have all your parameters that way when there is a change your main program is untouched, and you just need to change the dbconnect.
The call from your current class will be just like
dbConnect.Runsql("sql as a string");
the runSql can then internally call
dbConnect().connect(); //that should do the connection opening.
then create a prepared statement from your string input and call the db.......
this is the implementation that would be best suited for your scenario, you can further parametrize the method to where you can add the database params from the calling xml..so all that needs to be done when the machine is changed or any param is changed is ..modify the xml........not too bad was that.....

How to get the Hardcoded text and the Standard text in the same line
Hi,
I have an SAP Layout. In that, it should show the Consignee name as below.
Consignee: SAP LABS
In this, the text 'Consignee: ' should be hardcoded in the layout itself. and the customer has requested to create a standard text for 'SAP LABS' sothat if they want to change the value in future, they would go and change the Standard text. I have created the Standard Text for SAP LABS. I am not able to get both these texts on the same line. I wrote in the layout like below and AS is the Paragraph format.
AS Consignee:
/: INCLUDE ZVRU_CONSIGNEE OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN PARAGRAPH 'AS'
But, both are coming in dofferent lines. As /: is a command line, it is coming in the next line. Is there any way of getting these two texts in the same line..? While Inserting the Standard Texts, will there be any option/command to print it in the same line..?
Please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Paddu.Hi Paddu,
I have had a similar requirement. I did not use any FM or anything, simply did the following:
In SO10, for your standard text where u have used the text SAP LABS.
Instead of P1/ default para, change it to =. And then Save ur Standrd text.
Now in the SAPScript Text editor in which you want to print
P1 'Consignee :'
/: INCLUDE TEST OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
the output will be
Consignee : SAP LABS
I have tried and tested this method. It will surely work.
With regards,
Niharika. -
Hardcoded text in ALV's o/p
hi,
How can i get Hardcoded text in the output of an ALV-GRID DISPLAY..........
Can anyone help me out
Thanks in advanceHi,
Is it like Label?
One possible way is in your internal table, you can insert the text and display along with the internal table in a seperate column.
If not you need to switch it to ALV List Display where you can display the hard coded text just above the list display...using write.

Hardcode values of the node with cardinality 0..n
Good day!
I need to hardcode a list of element to the node with cardinality 0..n.
Node has two attributes.
How can I fill the node with a few element in the input mapping? I know I can do it with a single element by separating values by comma. Is it possible to fill the node?Hello.
I've the same problem. Can you say how to set list of values for a structure?
For example, we've node FIELD containing two attributes: ID and NAME.
FIELD is a node with cardinality 0..*. How to set at least two elements to the node?
Your example works only for simple attributes with cardinality 0..*, but it doesn't work for structures.

How can we maintain tetxs in webdynpro insted of hardcode
Hi Experts,
i am new for this webdynpro abap.how can we maintain tetxs in webdynpro insted of hardcode like text symbols in abap.we are using freaquently texts in message manager.in best practice we should not maintain hard code.
guys suggests me.Hi.,
For Labels You can Use OTR ( Online Text Repository ) Goto View ., In Menu bar Goto Online Text Repository and Add text ., then For Label Text press F4 then u can assign the Created Text.,
For Messages; Instead of HardCoding., Create a Class and Use that Class in Your WDA As Assistance Class ., In the Class Go to Texts and Add the text elements same as Text elements in se38. , You can use those text elements by providing message id in WDA ., using
WD_ASSIST->IF_WD_COMPONENT_ASSISTANCE~GET_TEXT( '001' ). " here 001 is the text element id which u created in class
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,

I've run in to a problem that is making me tear the hair from my head. I'm hoping for your help!
Short story:
I'm trying to install OS X Lion on my 27" iMac.
I've erased the HD using Disc Tool in recovery.
HD shows no errors.
I've tried Internet Recovery (it loads up, but wont start the installation)
I've tried creating a recovery usb on another similar iMac, and use it on this. Same error, only differance is it keeps "loading" when installing, but nothing happens. Same error in log.
When I try to start the Reinstall I get an error in the installation log that goes something like this:
Install Mac OS X Lion[354:9c03] Couldn't find app store version, falling back to hardcoded
Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory
Apple Care suggested:
Trying another network (doesn't work).
Install with the original Snow Leopard DVD first, then upgrade (can't do that, the DVD is lost and a DVD from another friend is not working)
What can I do to get around this error?
Someone suggested buying a usb with Snow Leopard from the apple store. Do I really have to buy a NEW operating system because the recovery doesn't work? Would I have to pay to upgrade to Lion again?Follow AppleCare's instructions on re-installing Snow Leopard and re-installing Lion. Your friends disc won't work because the discs are machine specific. You will have to get a replacement set of your original Install Discs from AppleCare for a nominal cost.

How to avoid hardcoding in RFC Lookup and JDBC Lookup during transport...
Hi All,
We have RFC and JDBC Lookups in some of our scenarios(JDBC to RFC synch)....Now problem is during transport of design objects, we have to change the business system and channel name manually in UDF in target environment....as it wont change although we define the target group in SLD.....we want to avoid this hardcoding.....one idea is we can use a business service inspite of business system and assign the comm channel to it.....this business service will be generic for all environment(dev,qua and prod)...and hence we dnt hav to hardcode....pls let me knw how to achieve or its possible or not....
waiting for ur inputs....
Regds,
Pinangshuk.Hi,
For RFC lookup you might be doing hardcoding for Business system and RFC channel name.
Options are
1) Create value mapping for Business system. So you can maintain it in Directory part.
2) Keep the RFC channel name same for all system (Development, Quality, Production)
The details of channel can be changed in the Directory part of the respective system -
REDIRECT JDBC URL WHEN USING DYNAMIC JDBC CREDENTIALS SO NOT HARDCODED
I have taken over an application that uses row-level security and ADF (using
dynamic JDBC Credentials). I have been able to set the internal_connection to
a JDBCDatasource, but cannot set the Connection Type in the Oracle Business
Component Configuration to a JDBCDatasource. When I do, I receive errors that
tables are not found. When I set the value back to a JDBC URL, everything
works fine again.
I am looking for a solution where the userid and password are not hardcoded in
the BC4J.xcfg or a way to redirect this information, as we change our system
passwords every nighty days. Otherwise, I will have to redeploy the
application every nighty days.
I did not create this application, but I am sure that you could simply follow
the "How to Support Dynamic JDBC Credentials" article. From that point, you
will probably be where I am, where I have the internal_connection set to a
JDBCDataSource and working properly, but cannot set the Connection Type to
anything where the userid and password will not be hardcoded or cause failure.
I wanted to let you know that I have
found the updated How to Support Dynamic JDBC Credentials
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/howto_dynamic_jdbc.h
tml) and was going to run through the "Advanced: Supporting Dynamic JDBC URLs",
but once I was done keying in
env.remove(ConnectionStrategy.DB_CONNECT_STRING_PROPERTY); I received a
depreciation message on the DB_CONNECT_STRING_PROPERTY. (Note: I am coding in
JDeveloper 10.1.3, so this may be depreciated as of then, but the ADF Libraries
for JDeveloper 10.1.3 are on our Oracle 10gAS 10.1.2 server.)
I thought maybe this would resolve my issue, but I can't be sure as the
deprecation message leads me to believe that this solution may not be viable in
the future.
UPDATE
=======
The article you are referencing is definitely an older version.
There is a newer article for 10g at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/dynamicjdbchowto.html
Please see if that helps.
I have already reviewed this article.
In fact, I have reviewed many versions of this document. I have not seen one
created yet for 10.1.3 though (especially without JSF as our 10.1.2 AS server
will not support it). I need to find an example or documentation that shows
how we can keep from having the JDBC URL stored in the BC4J.xcfg or a way to
use dynamic JDBC credentials with a JDBCDataSource. We do not want to store
the userid and password in the application, rather, we would like to setup
something that can be configurable from the application server.
I think we need to use the dynamic JDBC credentials because we are using the
row-level security, where we setup a database context for the user and only
allow certain records of a database table to be returned to the browser based
on that context.
Might there be a way to still use the JDBCDataSource?I understand that the user provides the userid and password and that these values are setup using the Configuration class.
However, when I am to deploy the ADF Business Module with my application, I have to specify either a JDBC URL or a JDBC DataSource in the Oracle Business Component Configuration.
When I use JDBC DataSource, the code does not work properly, almost like the user's credentials are not used for the connection (I get errors like table or view does not exist).
When I use the JDBC URL, the bc4j.xcfg stores a reference in the JDBCName attribute to a ConnectionDefinition in the same file. It is in this tag of the bc4j.xcfg where the userid, sid, and password (encrypted) is stored and used when retrieving the initial context of the ADF business components.
It is these values that I want to have stored else where so that the application does not have to be redeployed in order for the password (or sid, or other connection information) to be change. -
Save pdf output into db WITHOUT hardcoding username password in desname
We are trying to use pluggable destination (Blobdestination) to save our reports in pdf format into the database. Our security policies dictate that we cannot hardcode
the database username password in the URL or in the code.
What are our options? Can we use the OC4J datasources?
ThanksWe tried using utl_http, but face two issues.
1. When we used https and provided wallet, failure
happened.Why would you want the overhead of https between your db and your report server? The db should be inside a firewall and ideally, your report server would be too.
2. When the report runs for a long time time out
issues were happening.The default for utl_http is 60 seconds. You just have to change it:
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(60); -- default
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(3600); -- 1 hour -
Hi, please could you help with my problem. im currently reading a file into an array. instead of hardcoding the filename e.g.
public class result {
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
String scoreInfo;
int count= 0;
Scanner filescan, lineScan;
* filescan = new Scanner(new File("results.txt"));*
table[] result = new table[12];
i need to build the program to request for the file name, or something better than this hardcoded bit.
Thank youWhy not take it from the command line? You would execute your program as:
>java MyProgram the_file_pathThen the path would be args[0] in main.
