Package Concept is in Forms ???

Hi all ..
Can anyone tell me whether Package concepts is in oracle forms ...
Regards
Sai

we cannot save two form modules with same name in same folder but we can have in different folder
Right !!! but does system allows you to open both these forms at one time. Do windows allo you to open another file with same name from different folder when same file name is open ??????????????.
If you need to open these forms at run-time, then you need to specify pathname while calling the form. But only current form will be in active state.
If your application is a menu driven, and you are calling forms only with names, and not sure where the form lies, then add a suitable paths to registry.
Eg.. Forms60_path=c:\forms;c:\forms1; .......

Java package concept in ABAP Objects

Hi, just a question on grouping of classes in ABAP Objects.
In Java, you can group classes by "package" to avoid
namespace collision, my question, in ABAP Objects, how
do you group classes to avoid namespace collision?
I know that there is package concept in SAP/ABAP but it
is different concept in Java.
Thanks in advanced for your reply.

Hello One and Lonley,
the package concept in ABAP and Java is quite different. In java the package name is part of the development object in ABAP not. So any class pool name is global unique. In combination with the restriction on 30 chars this leads often to somehow cryptic names.
The only way to escape this somehow is the excessive use of local classes. That mean classes defined within main programs. If you are on 7.00 you may check FuGr SAPLSAUNIT_TREE_CTRL_LISTENER for this technique.

Best Practice: Usage of the ABAP Packages Concept?

Hi SDN folks,
I've just started on a new project - I have significant ABAP development experience (15 years+) - but one thing that I have never seen used correctly is the Package concept in ABAP - for any of the projects that I have worked on.
I would like to define some best practices - about when we should create packages - and about how they should be structured.
My understanding of the package concept is that they allow you to bundle all of the related objects of a piece of development work together. In previous projects - and almost every project I have ever worked on - we just have packages ZBASIS, ZMM, ZSD, ZFI and so on. But this to me is a very crude usage of packages, and really it seems that we have not moved on passed the 4.6 usage of the old development class concept - and it means that packages do not really add much value.
I read in the SAP PRESS Next Generation ABAP book (Thomas Ljung, Rich Hellman) (I only have the 1st edition) - that we should use packages for defining separation of concern for an application. So it seems there they are recommending that for each and every application we write - we define at the least 3 packages - one for Model, one for Controller and one for view based objects. It occurs to me that following this approach will lead to a tremendous number of packages over the life cycle of an implementation, which could potentially lead to confusion - and so also add little value. Is this really the best practice approach? Has anyone tried this approach across a full blown implementation?
As we are starting a new implementation - we will be running with 7 EHP2 and I would really like to get the most out of the functionality that is provided. I wonder what others have for experience in the definition of packages.
One possible usage occurs to me that you could define the packages as a mirror image of the application business object class hierarchy (see below). But perhaps this is overcomplicating their usage - and would lead to issues later in terms of transportation conflicts etc.:
                                      ZSD
                                        |
                ZSOrder    ZDelivery   ZBillingDoc
Does anyone have any good recommendations for the usage of the ABAP Package concept - from real life project experience?
All contributions are most welcome - although please refrain from sending links on how to create packages in SE80
Kind Regards,
Julian

Hi Julian,
I have struggled with the same questions you are addressing. On a previous project we tried to model based on packages, but during the course of the project we encountered some problems that grew overtime. The main problems were:
1. It is hard to enforce rules on package assignments
2. With multiple developers on the project and limited time we didn't have time to review package assignment
3. Devopelers would click away warnings that an object was already part of another project and just continue
4. After go-live the maintenance partner didn't care.
So, my experience is is that it is a nice feature, but only from a high level design point of view. In real life it will get messy and above all, it doesn't add much value to the development. On my neew assignment we are just working with packages based on functional area and that works just fine.

Change package name of a form

Hi,
I want to change the package name of a Form in se71 from $TMP to a company package name. I would like to know the step by step process and direct answer please!
Points will be rewarded!
Thanks!

Hi there,
I believe the only solution for your issue is to open the form in the change mode,
then click on the File--> Save As and then give some name and assign the package,,
then you can always delete the previous form save in $tmp.
Let me know if you need further help.

Returnable transport packaging concept.

Dear Experts,
Please help me to understand Returnable transport packaging concept. what are the pre requisites involved like material master data. & regarding traceability of the material.

Hi all SAP GURUS,
we have 1 special requirement involving of Capital Tools/Equipments( Capital Asset ), which we need to send to different sites thru ordinary truck wherever it requires and once the work is complete at site then 2 possibilities
1) If there is no further demand on tools then again we will take back of tools from site to our plant
or
2) If any demand further for tools then we need to send these tools from that site itself to another site where it requires.(i.e means not taking back the tools from the site to our plant.)
Note : In some cases some of tools not further required then some we will take back to our plant and some are again sent to another site where ever it trequires
Requirements to be fulfilled are:
Till we didnt created any Material masters for this so suggest the best possible method to follow in order to suit the above requirement considering the below constraints.
1) Tracking of Capital Tools at every point of time
2) Considering the Excise and Taxes involved in the above process at different poins of time
3) Documents which are required to prepare as per all Laws.

Package concept?

Hi,
I am confusing how to understand the term "package" in javacard.
Is it similar concept in java? example, java.lang, java.io, ... are packages?
if they are packages then do they have AIDs ?
my own thought, the concept of package in javacard is not the same as in normal java. Package must have AID, and two different packages must have two different AID. Two same "package name, example java.lang", might belong to different packages.
thanks,
Hoang Long

Hi,
You must start from the bottom up dependency wise. You can not have packages that have circular references. I have commented on this recently but it is to do with CAP file load order on the card.
You can convert packages with sub packages but each package is converted individually regardless of if they are nested.
Cheers,
ShaneIn short, if i have 2 java packages: java.A and java.A.B
There is no circular references. java.A uses classes in java.A.B. Am i able to convert java.A to CAP file without pre-converting java.A.B?
(I am using converter companion with java card dev kit 2.2)
ps: is there any conversion issue if i have deeper level of inheritance?

Japanese font package being required for form without Japanese

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro using (as far as I know) all English characters. I saved the form and am now trying to open it on another computer that has Acrobat Reader X. The error message I'm receiving is "A font package is required to correctly display this page. Click OK to direct your browser to download the add-on from adobe.com...." The font package that it wants me to load is Japanese. Once I load that font pack, the form opens without any problems.
I'm not the only one having this problem, others who are trying to open the form are experiencing the same difficulty.
So, why does Reader think my form contains Japanese fonts, and how do I get rid of them so others can open the form without having to install a font package?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, there are no asian characters there. Here are the fonts listed:
BellGothicStd-Bold
FuturaBT-BoldCondensed
FuturaBT-Book
FuturaBT-BookItalic
FuturaBT-Light
FuturaBT-LightItalic
Helvetica
KozMinPr6N-Regular
ZaphDingbats

Packaged Procedures Usage in Forms

I am intending to base some forms 6i on packaged procedures passing out pl/sql table of records. Will it be wise/useful to handle any errors (user defined possibly) within such procedures using a user defined error processing routine or RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR and pass such errors out using out parameters ? Or does one leave all error handling to the forms interface level e.g raise EXCEPTIONS
using the WHEN OTHERS exception and RAISE FORM TRIGGER FAILURE ? I'm slightly in the dark here ?
Regards
laide

You may want to use a combination of both. You if you have an error you may want to record where the error happened (in an error log) and then propagate the error up. If really depends on the type of error. If it is a failed validation then you may want to propagate. If it is an error your code can handle then pass a parameter.
You may also want to consider the fact thatif you get and error and propagate it then it becomes harder or trace the source of the error.

Package concepts

Hi,
What is Forward Declaration in Packages means?Also one more question .Suppose i have declared 5 functions/Procedures in Package Specification but in Package Body i am giving body(Definition) to only 3 of them .will it throw some error on Compiling.Please explain the concept.Thanks

user12920808 wrote:

Suppose i have declared 5 functions/Procedures in Package Specification but in Package Body i am giving body(Definition) to only 3 of them . will it throw some error on Compiling. Please explain the concept.Every procedure/function declared in package specification is publc and anyone who has execute privilege on that package can call that procedure/function. So it is obvious procedure/function must be defined in package body. At the same time package body can define procedure/function that is not in package specification. Such procedure/function is private and can't be called from out side.

How can i change the package of a sapscript form ?

hi all ,
Is it possible to change the package of a sapscript ? how ?
by the way , i want to know , smartform is a function module .but what is sapscript ? and how should i find my sapscript via se80 ? is it possible ?
thanks and regards

hi kevin,
change package :
by copy the script and during save u can change the package
sap script displays data on the form with the help of text elements where the logic is written in the print program and Forms were designed to be driven from print program.
for finding the sap script

How to use advanced PL/SQL concepts in oracle forms/reports

Hi all,
Can any one suggest me how to use the advanced PL/SQL Concepts(nested tables,PAA,Varrays,Objects...) in Oracle forms.
Actually i Created a Table having column of Varray datatype. now i want to create a item in oracle forms on this field. can any one suggest me the way to do this.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hello,
Have a look at this one:
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g.htm
particularly the chapter about block that contain a collection (2.3.3). The sample is built around a nested table but you have the idea to adapt it to work with a varray.
Kind regards,
Alex
If someone's answer is helpful or correct please mark it accordingly.

Clear me about package concept?

While executing packages at first time the entire package loaded into memory then 2nd time execution it will executed from local memory.
if in case any update happened in any schema object then how the execution happened?
its from server or local memory?

The package is cached in shared memory on the server, not local memory on your desktop. The state of package variables is also held in the private memory area associated with each session that is using it (e.g. if you set somepackage.var := 3, that is held in your session's private memory and nobody else can see it).
If the package is invalidated by changes to underlying objects, the cached version is also invalidated and must be reloaded by the next session to use it.

Packaging concept for GUI and Background, using SwingWorker

How to set up the following structure, in order to meet the requirements of SwingWorker (doInBackground, publish, process):
1. There is a class SGui - contained in a package of Swing GUI methods SGui, located in package ...sgui - which will
- start a background thread, by using SwingWorker, which does some complex logics (the methods from class SSolv, see item 2)
- it passes initial data to that background process, which have been entered into the GUI
- displays the intermediate results from the background threat
2. There is another class SSolv, in package ...ssolv, which contains some complex logics, and should deliver intermediate results to be displayed by the GUI
From all the information from tutorial etc., I put up a structure like this, for SSolv:
package ...ssolv;
class SSolv {
void senderMethod {
publish (ComData...)   // should transfer the data to the EDT
: class ComData {
// ... puts up the objects for transferring the data to the GUI, by method publish
}All the rest of Swing methods goes to package SGui.
This stub already shows the issue, which comes from structuring the application in two (or even more) packages : compiling package SSolv produces the error publish(V...)
has protected access in javax.swing.SwingWorker ! I understand that this protected method could only be used in this context, after instancing a subclass of SwingWorker,
- however I thought it would most senseful to get the "sender" (+publish+), and the "contents" (+ComData+) to the package, where the data will be produced.
This is evidently in contradiction to the requirement, that publish - as a protected method of SwingWorker - should be defined in the SGui class, as it has to apply the (overriden) methods process (including get), done etc.
With my application, the SGui class will be compiled later ! So I had to reference a method from SGui that is not known during compiling of SSolv !
Unfortunately, all the examples shown in the tutorials (as far as I can already know them...) only use one package; so all the classes are compiled from one file, and they will not get this dilemma.
Please give me some idea, how I will have to restructure / workaround / use advanced methods, to solve this ?

Bad news: I did some homework, but I didn't get it working...
One reason may be, that your demo doesn't cover my reqs. exactly, regarding implementation of MySwingWorker, because my SSolv - which does all the processing - has to be in the doInBackground() method, and the 'senderMethod' (called dumpExFlags in my SSolv.java) is running integrated from within, because the application SSolv decides, when we have data ready for publishing. See code below...
Secondly, I really did not get the point with your design, especially with the following segment from MySwingWorker, regarding the use of the private objects sgui and ssolv, and the mechanism of the constructor ?
import yr2010.m07.d.ssolv.ComData;
import yr2010.m07.d.ssolv.SSolv;
public class MySwingWorker extends SwingWorker<Void, ComData> {
   private SGui sgui;
   private SSolv ssolv = new SSolv(this);
   public MySwingWorker(SGui sgui) {
      this.sgui = sgui;
   @Override
   protected Void doInBackground() throws Exception {
      ssolv.senderMethod();
      return null;
   }{code}
By the way, I analysed the java files with PMD, and didn't find any relevant
hints why things should not work like that.
Another tricky detail: the compiler (as well as PMD) reports, that method 'publish' does not 'override', except calling the super method, but your example works !?
Finally, to my knowledge any type that is overriden, should have his own @Override 'tag'. So did you purposefully omit that in your design ?
Worst of all, I just ran into the problem that the compiler will not
recognize all the the variables and methods I imported to the
DoSolver(SwingWorker subclass). (This may be an issue from my 'bottom
up' design of my 1000 lines of this first Java example I produced), but:
I don't see why, in this case, javac ignores all the imports from other
packages, and reports 'cannot find symbol' on ANYTHING ... ? This puts my debugging efforts on the major problem to halt ...
{code}
package s3forum.sgui;
import javax.swing.;
import java.util.;
import s3forum.ssolv.SSolv;
import s3forum.ssolv.ComData;
import s3forum.sgui.SGui;
public class DoSolver extends SwingWorker< Void, ComData > { // SSolv definiert Datenformat
// DoSolver() - shouldn't be necessary. implicitly defined by instancing with
// DoSolver dSol = new DoSolver() - should get the overriden methods ready for use
// ========== Background process, will start when instancing DoSolver
@Override
protected Void doInBackground() {
SSolv slv=new SSolv(vArr); // Instance of solver. vArr=start-values from SGui
return null;
//============ Gets data from SSolv coninuously
@Override
public void process (java.util.List cDList) {
if (cDList.size() > 1) { //### Prelim: ignore multiple datasets!
    System.out.println(" ### Multiple values !! ### ");
ComData cD = cDList.get( cDList.size()-1 );
dispMLabel (cD.getX, cD.getY, cD.getD);
if (cD.getIS) {
    dispMText (cD.getX, cD.getY, cD.getD);
} //Process
//=========== Postprocessing after SSolver finishes
@Override
public void done() {
     // Message
dispGuiMsg ("Solver ist beendet. FERTIG drücken zum Beenden >");
    // modify button, forcing System.exit()
fertigB.setActionCommand("fertigWaitEnd");
fertigB.setEnabled(true);
//=================== publish, should override method from SwingWorker
@Override
public void publish( ComData cd ) {
super.publish(cd);
} // Class DoSolver
{code}
Could you please further comment on this ? Thank you !

OSB to SOA suite package not forming correctly

Setup is as follows:
AIX 5.3 on the box, 10 gigs ram, installation of the latest releases of OSB and SOA suite on top of weblogic. I've built out a couple of simple database queries in BPEL based off wsdls, dropped them on to the SOA suite server, used EM to open a test console and plugged in some search data. Search returns successfully.
I then open up OSB's console, create a business service to the endpoint on the soa server, and a proxy based off the same wsdl used in the BPEL construction which I then route to the business service. Both service and proxy are made with basic http for the protocol (not sure how to use the sb protocol, and not sure if that will fix the problem). Load the test console on the proxy service, which displays an xml form similar to what is used in the SOA suite. Fill out the same information, but the invoke returns BEA-380000. Following the invocation trace in OSB everything looks good in terms of package content.
Wondering if it might simply be a problem with how the OSB interprets XML from a wsdl, I piped the XML from the SOA suite into the OSB's xml field, but to no luck, same error. After some more testing and frustration,I put the SOA suite XML straight in to the form field in the OSB test console, and it worked. However, the package itself seems oddly formed, consisting of:
<soapenv:Envelope      xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <soap:Header      xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     </soap:Header>
     <soapenv:Body>
     <soap:Envelope      xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <soap:Header/>
Which I've been told is basically double wrapping the package, which shouldn't work, and more importantly wont be generated when someone uses say SOAPUI to access our service on the OSB.
Now, on the SOA suite side of things. In EM console, I navigate to my BPEL process and can see the faults caused by the OSB. The same faults are also generated when binding to the OSB's endpoint with SOAPUI, but not when going directly to the SOA suite's endpoint. The error is the following:
oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.soap.SOAPVersionMismatchException: Mime Header Content-Type: text/xml requires SOAP envelope namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/: Mime Header Content-Type: text/xml requires SOAP envelope namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
And the payload sent shows as empty.
So to my best uneducated guess, it looks like the OSB wraps the payload in an envelope, and then unwraps it before handing it to the SOA suite, which expects the payload to be wrapped. Sadly, I'm still pretty new to the wsdl/webservice/oracle world, so I'm not even sure if that's an accurate representation. Any insight on what might be happening or how to get OSB to talk with SOA suite correctly would be greatly appreciated. Included below are the XML payloads I've used (minus a bit for confidentiality reasons). Apologies if the formatting doesn't work so nice for it.

Problem solved. When I originally created my business service inside of OSB, I created it based off an endpoint provided by the SOA server. Instead, I went and did a mass import from a url, pointed it at the SOA server wsdl, and then built the web service off of that wsdl resource in the OSB. Now it works like a charm.
