PCUI for non-CRM development

ECC seems to have the same PCUI data structures as CRM, but ECC does not have the IMG hooks into PCUI that CRM does. Has anyone used PCUI outside of CRM? Is it a valid development scenario?
Thanks much!

Hi Daniel,
You can do development in PCUI for non-CRM applications but there are a few points you must consider before going forward.
1. You need to have CRM in the system. So, you got to have the PCUI components (even if you don't use any other CRM functionality) in the system. This is because PCUI is still a part of CRM only.
2. You need to be aware that its not preconfigured and predelivered as in the case of CRM. So, you have to set up all the blueprint tables by yourself and write up all the Model Access classes.
3. You need to be aware that PC UI structure is quite rigid. You can not play around much with the look and feel. There are certain things you <b>can not</b> do in PC UI.
So, if you decide to go for PCUI anyways, you are always welcome to post you PCUI related queries in this forum. Also check out the weblog by Vijay on the PCUI cook book.
/people/vijaya.kumar/blog/2005/06/10/people-centric-user-interface-pcui--getting-started
This should come handy to do a pre implementation feasibility analysis and if you decide to go ahead then in every step of your development.

Posting for non-java development?

Greetings,
I'm not having much luck with the forum and I was thinking it may be my selection of forum area to post in. I'm currently developing in C on an E25K running Solaris 10. I'm trying to write high-performance code to take advantage of my environment and I need to know where I can post questions about topics such as threading, memory use, the vm system, disk subsystem, etc..
I'm not looking for answers to questions like "how do I make a thread?", but more along the lines of "when does the vm system start to discard pages of a mmap'd file that was advised of sequential access?"
Thanks for the help, any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I do try to write good posts, but I suppose that is subjective. Also, sometimes the problem is complex and will take an iterative conversation to come to a resolution or useful information.
I do a lot of RTFM'ing and can usually find solutions to specific problems (2 + 2 == 4, etc..) ;-) However, recently I find myself needing to understand some things that would require a bit of low-level knowledge of the kernel or disk layer, etc.. Yes, the Solaris code is open and I could read it, but time is a factor, as well as the ability to actually understand such code as the VM paging system, for example. I think I'm a good programmer, but not that good, yet...
I see a lot of unanswered posts in the forums so maybe the community is simply too small for the topic? Or does everyone pay for their support, thus making the forums less of a resource? I was surprised (in a good way) that Sun sells developer support for only $500 a year; IMHO that makes it available to many software developers. However, in my situation I'm not willing to pay out of pocket when the company I work for could easily have such a contract with Sun (but they don't). Thus, I'm trying my only other option, these forums.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to write better posts.

Good tutorial book for non-flash developer?

I need to learn flex for our company. I am a .NET developer
although I have used Flex 1.0 before and was doing well with it. I
am by no means a flash developer, so I'm looking for a good
beginner to intermediate book for someone who is looking more at
flex application development rather than design.
I need a book that focuses more on database/XML/webservice
integration and not something that focuses SOLEY on rich GUI's.
Yes, I would like for the book to focus also on design, but not
have that purely be the focus.
What do you all recommend? Thanks!
Ryan

I found the book Adobe Fex 2 Training from the Source VERY
helpful. I read and did everything and am also finding it useful as
a reference. One reason I liked it is that it takes you through an
appliation step by step refining the application over time as you
"discover" more succinct/efficient ways to do things (e.g. making
components and a more reusable design). It takes you through
multiple ways to get at server stuff too. I also highly recommend
reading the Cairngorm articles posted on Adobe's website to help
you get off on the right foot using good design principles for
Flex.
P.S. I am very much a newbie myself and am still climbing the
learning curve.

Do you offer a price reduction for app developement for Non profits.

We are developing Apps for our church and were looking at the cost of developing and Apple app. We are a small church so do you offer any type of discounts for non profit apps.

You are not addressing Apple here, only other users like yourself. You will need to contact Apple directly with this question.

Can I use macbook air for ios app development?

I would like to know if i can use macbook air for ios app development or macbook pro is only option?

Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?

Duplicate check via BAS (ADDRESS_SEARCH)-- how to handle non-crm customer?

Dear all,
I'm implementing a duplicate check and using the BADI Address_search. Within this BADI I use the method "Address_Search" for calling a third party software tool with customer information. This tool checks whether the entered customer is already available in CRM AND in other system in our company holding.
The method provides me a list of all found duplicates (incl. non-crm customers)
My problem is that I need to fill a export table "ex_t_search_result" (type adkey_indx_tab) of this method which expects ADRC number. For the CRM customer it is not a problem. I can figure them out by table BUT020 and the customer number. But for the non-crm customer I do not have a ADRC number.
I know there are some methods for creating addresses in BAS (function group SZA0), but actually Im not sure how to handle them.
Does anybody of you had faced a similar issue?
Thanks for your help
Firat C.

hello,
BP is BDT (Business Data toolset) enabled (you can check it by adding break point in FM BUS_PBO and executing BP transaction). You can add your check directly to standard view (the check will be executed each time when user pushes enter) or you could add you check to appropriate action (during saving etc.) there are number of actions which you could use it depends on your requirements. You can find a lot of info about BDT (if you are not familiar) in Wiki.

Subcontract PO/PR does not generate PR for non stock component

Hello,
I need help on above topic.
SAP Version is ERP Central Component 5.0.
My problem is that PR is not being generated for non stock component in PR/PO of higher/parent material.
I notice that in component overview screen the item cat for this non stk comp. has changed to T( text item) even though the BOm has been maintained with item cat as N( non stock). The material type being used for non stk material is custom developed(copy of NLAG).
Has anyone faced similar issue. or can suggest some missing customization (if any)
Just to confirm :
I have done customising for Direct procurement in OPPQ to trigger PR in requirements planning. Also tried with prod order creation option(though my case is PO creation)
Any help from forum is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi ,
Commitement check is taking place due to availability control. If u dont want to carry out AVAC for PR then in Tolerance limit put the exclude the check for PR.
SPRO > PS > Budget > define tolerence limit > here u might selected ++ i.e. for all activity type. U select indidula transaction grp excluding PR.

Can Jdeveloper Be Used For Non-Oracle Databases

I have been trying to evaluate Jdeveloper 9i and Jbuilder 7 Enterprise for Swing database development. I am particularly interested in the productivity enhancements such as BC4J and Jclient. The underlying database might be Oracle, SapDb (excellent, easy to use, and free), SQLServer, etc.
I evaluated Jbuilder Enterprise tools and it worked flawlessly with SapDb. This emphasized using their DataExpress and DbSwing components which provide many useful capabilities similar to BC4j and Jclient. It also involved using their DBPilot tool which allows browsing similar to that provided via a Jdeveloper connection.
I tried to use Jdeveloper for the same SapDB and it is essentially non-functional. I followed the instructions for using a non-default driver and tried to define a connection. It behaved inconsistently: often saying no suitable driver can be found and yet when you edit the connection and test without making any changes, it works. If you try to establish a BC4J definition, it is very inconsistent and fails to recognize important details as foreign keys. Even if you define a ViewLink manually, it still does not work properly if you attempt to define a Master-Detail Jclient form. As I have stated, all these types of capabilities worked flawlessly in their Jbuilder equivalent. Furthermore, I really like the fact that Jbuilder gives many of BC4Js benefits without needing a BC4J J2EE container.
Has anyone had real success using Jdeveloper's advanced features to develop for non-Oracle databases and if so, how did you get around these types of problems?

Hi,
generally, SCAN can be used for 10g databases and you discovered the first half: for 10g databases you will have to modify the REMOTE_LISTENER entry for each 10g database instance to point to the SCAN listeners (as opposed to pointing to the remote local listeners, which is the default in 10g). You could even have the databases registers themselves with SCAN and the remote listeners, if you wanted to... It's more or less a matter of configuration. But for simplification reasons, I will stick to the case where you have your 10g databases register with the SCAN listeners only.
Now the other half is the client and the client configuration. An 11g Rel. 2 client configured for RAC would have a TNSNAMES entry that has only one address line for the RAC databases. The host entry in this one address line should point to the SCAN (the SCAN name is ideally resolved in DNS). A 10g client configured for RAC would have as many address lines in the TNSNAMES as you have nodes in the cluster.
The 10g client SCAN configuration would then be in the middle so to speak: You would have 3 address lines in your TNSNAMES, in which each host entry would resolve to one SCAN address (I assume you will use the recommended default of 3 SCAN IPs). If you choose, you can have a name resolution for each of your SCAN IPs, but this would not be required. Now, why would you do it this way? Because this configuration will always work and does not make you dependent on certain functionality that your DNS server may or may not offer.
For the remaining questions: SCAN is a DNS entry resolving one name to more than one (typically 3) IP addresses. OID is short for Oracle Internet Directory, which is a complete LDAP server. And you are right that there is no document how to configure 10g clients for SCAN from Oracle yet. However, there is a quite good document on SCAN on otn.oracle.com/rac, but I am sure you are aware of it already.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

Latest recommendation for custom screen development?

easy points here - get 'em while their hot! : )
I'm trying to confirm my thoughts/assumptions on the development of custom screens. We are installing the various pieces of NW04s and expect the majority of our users to access ECC transactions through the SAP Portal (using Web GUI for HTML). Also, we will have a significant number of custom screen requirements; some may be enhancements to existing SAP delivered screens; others may be new screen development.
What is SAP's latest recommendation for custom screen development?
More specifically, what are various options and their advantages and disadvantages?
For example:
**Web Dynpro for Java
+ easy Portal integration
- requires NW Dev Studio/Infrastructure
**Web Dynpro for Java
+ Development tools within Workbench
- more difficult to integrate in the Portal
**Z transaction development with Screen Painter
**HTML/JavaScript or similar
etc....
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
For me , I have only two choices
1. Web Dynpro for Java
Great front end IDE to work with, only issue could be the performance issue, while Java is trying to communicate with SAP ECC.
2. Web Dynpro for ABAP
Relatively new, however a good tool to work with. Performance improvement compared to Java Web Dynpro.
I don't think you should have a concern of integrating this with Portal, as you have a separate iView for ABA Web Dynpro. The screen can be developed on the SAP ECC and then can be called from the Portal screen.
You still have other options like developing normal dynpro - but that will not give a look and feel of the web interface. BSP / PCUI are the other choices but given the roadmap of SAP for UI, I would stick to Web Dynpro for ABAP / Java.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ravi

How to setup EWA for non-ABAP system with SM 4.0 ?

Hi, we are running SM 4.0 with the support-stack 06. I have set-up a solution for monitoring which includes a NW04 WebAS 6.40 Java only system. Has anyone set-up EWA reports for this type of non_ABAP system who can advise of the steps necessary for this ?
It seems like you need to define RFC destinations for where the monitored system data should be collected from , but there doesn't appear to be anywhere to do this for non-ABAP systems ?
I have looked at Note 738676 - Service Data Download for Non-ABAP Components but it hasn't helped and it seems to be SDCC specific, rather than SDCCN.
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
we are just developing it, at the moment you have the following option, your java system has to send by ccms agends its data to an ABAP 640 system or higher, there you can see its alerts in ccms, then you have to make both system available in SMSY. Then important you have to assign the java system as a system component, then we collect also the java data and shows them in the EWA of the ABAP system. There for go to the main instance tab and set a java main instance to relevant and assign your java system.
This is the old, available standard solution. At the moment we develop it also for java stand alone.
I think it will be available with the new ST-SER in autumn

WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDED CERTIFICATIONS FOR A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER?

HI FRIENDS COULD SOME ONE HELP ME OUT WITH THE LIST OF RECOMMENDED CERTIFICATION FOR A PROGRAMMER. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF MY WORKING PLATFORM. I WORK IN C/C++ AS FRONTEND WITH UNIX AS BACKEND. I ALSO DEAL WITH UML AT TIMES. SO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT TO SPOT THE EXACT CERTIFICATION WHICH WOULD HELP ME IN MY CARRIER.
Edited by: user11087237 on 20 Apr, 2009 9:43 PM

You can get an OCP (Advanced PL/SQL) by completing 1z0-146. You have in practice to get PLSQL OCA first.
You can also get OCP via a forms route instead .... 1z0-141. What I am trying to say is Oracle has a number of products other than sql* Forms, and forms may be in decline, so if you are not already familiar with forms that may not be the best place to put efforts.
What I was trying to say that is possilbly that effot getting to know apex (application express) may be better than time spent trying to ge to grips with and certifiying in Forms. (Though as far as I am aware there is no apex certification).
i feel that you suggest me something other than oca /ocp certification. if i am right do please clear me out . and for your information i have worked in sql & plsql for quite a good time.In summary
I am suggesting you seriously consider Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate(OCA) and Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional (OCP).
However the case for studying for (Oracle Forms Developer Certified Professional (OCP)) is perhaps less clear cut if you have not aleady got forms experience, and that for you effort may be better spent elsewhere, possilby even in non certified study (jdeveloper, application express, oracle designer ... )

Test data for SAP CRM 7 ( Activites )

Hi
my first question belongs to the datatables in SAP CRM 7. I would like know which table is important for "Activities".
I see that many tables are empty, is there a transaction code or function to generate testdata?!
greetings hassan

Hassan,
If you have a CRM functional/development expert on site, please have them walk you through basics of using SAP CRM and how to generate data. It is not the intent of the forums to train you on how to use CRM.
For your database question your developer resource would have told you an activity is what is called a "business transaction" and the primary header table is CRMD_ORDERADM_H.
I strongly suggest you review some of the materials outlined in my blog before posting any further CRM related questions, or at least searching in the CRM General & Framework forum for general CRM questions that are not release specific.

10.2.0.4 for "non-mainstream" platforms - release date?

According to
SAP on Oracle
--> SAP on Oracle Development Update
patch 10.2.0.4 for non-mainstream platforms (Windows IA64, Linux IA64 etc.) was to be released "in August", now we have mid september and patches are still not available.
Any idea why this is postponed and if there is a new date?
Markus

lol
If that was true then it´s even more ununderstandable, that the "mainstream platforms" are already released
