Please recommend: I want to build a web based order entry app ... DI Server

We just got ourselves implemented SAP Business One 2007A accounting.
We have the SDK license also.
To build a web based app, is the best way to use the DI Server?
SCENARIO
This app is to allow Sales Rep to register people in a conference.
Each conference costs a fixed amount.
Each customer master data is to be kept in SAP and customer notes and attributes to be edited via the web app.
Invoice also to be created.
So i probably need a Sales Order Quotation, Sales Order, Invoice, and credit card payment, plus ability to add notes, and activities against the customer.
QUESTION
1. I want to know if DI Server using SOAP is the wisest method to do this? I don't want to keep on buying SAP pro licenses for each person wanting to work as CSR staff.
2. I hear people developing in their local machines. Do I have to buy a fully licensed version of SAP to do development on my local PC? Or is there a free way to do this?
3. I see the SDK samples for 2007a. Are there more samples I can download from some place?
4. How do I find out the XML format to use for inter acting with the SAP DI Server? From the DI_SERVER/SCHEMAS area?
Thanks,
Mike

1. Regarding the licenses. I need confirmation that I have everything for DI-SERVER based development and implementation on my site (WE ARE THE CUSTOMER)
It says on license administration that we have (in production):
13 pro licenses
SDK - Development : 19 available licenses
SDK - Implementation: 9999 available licenses
SDK Tools - 99990 available licenses
I don't see DI Server anywhere. We / I am the end customer who bought all these tools to be able to build a web front end.
Now I am concerned that we did not buy the DI Server -- which is really what we need since my app needs to be web based.
Is this concern valid since I was able to use the quick & dirty method of using .asp to LOGIN, and RETREIVE the list of users using the DI-SERVER api (SDOBI_SERVER.node, GetUserList, Login).
Does this confirm that I can use DI-SERVER api?
If so how come some people on this forum suggest that there needs to be a DI-SERVER entry in the License Administration?
2. Is it possible to run my pure development pc/server with dev SAP B1 instances loaded but pointing it to the production license server
Or is it better to have a separate license server on the development machine?

Building a Web-based Event Calendar using VB in aspx 4.0

Technical Article back in 2000, written by Scott Semyan (July 2000) titled "Building a Web-based Event Calendar" detailed an example of how to create a simple event calendar in asp.
I am new to aspx .NET codind (using VB), and I have attempted to recode to the newer framework to no avail. Do you have an update of this article for ASPX 3.0 and up?
And if not, is there sample code for me to use to create a web-oage using aspx with vb in 4+?
thx
Manuel

I'll move this to off-topic since you've been correctly pointed to forums.asp.net. I just want to mention that whatever that article was demonstrating is probably irrelevant in today's web development ecosystem. For example, an event calendar
is likely to be its own web control that you can just drop onto a web form (or otherwise instantiate in a web page). I know of a couple retail components that can do it and there are probably free ones available too. Even if you build your own
it will likely be little more than an existing calendar control with perhaps some custom rendering code.

Hi all **help needed with the SMO (Web Based Ordering Portal) integration

...I earnestly urge the Oracle gurus to help me with my issueWell most of the 'gurus' on this forum are not Oracle employees and can't really help to resolve this. We can only offer suggestions. There's no link from this forum to an Oracle manager. The only direct contact to Oracle is through creating an SR -- and that's generally for issues specifically with certification rather than with OE training.
That said, I used to work for Oracle. If there is any time not to have high expectations for customer service it's in December. The vast majority of employees take a significant percentage of their annual vacation that month. If I were to hazard a guess at what caused at least some of your issues, I'd say you got at least somewhat caught up in that.They also do a lot of system maintenance in December. I didn't work for OE but rather for Support, but I'd suspect they are similar. Towards the end of December, the place resembled a ghost town.
I haven't used OE's online interface to order training. I just tried it a minute ago (up to the point where I was going to start committing to things I don't want, anyway) and I don't see how this much confusion can be generated. Since you indicated they used your credit card information for payment, I don't grasp why they would have any reason to talk to the company you are currently contracting for.
Regardless of how it happened, Brandye (the moderator and an Oracle employee) might be able to suggest something specific. My own suggestion would be to grit your teeth and order again (the interface appears to be up). Provide only contact numbers/addresses to you and put 'Independent Contractor' down as the company. They really want to sell you the training. I'm confident that you'll be able to... eventually.

I need to know in what format is the web in order to choose a server.

can u help me please ??

The format of the web is explained by http://www.w3.org/
Any webserver functions according to these rules.
You can practice on your own computer.
Start the webserver in the system preferences > share
iWeb creates webpages that are served by each and every webserver in the universe.

Web-based blog entry

I want to maintain a daily web log, with tekst, photo's and small video moves.
This is easy to do with iWeb and publicing on web.mac.com/myname/
However, does Apple has a solution for adding new blog entries while on the holiday, let's say from a average internet cafe? I could only found publishing on homepage.mac.com/myname/ but that looks rather primitive and appears to be a different site than web.mac.com

Accessing web based work program with Citrix Server

Can I access a web based program that uses a citrix server with the ipad2 -- I currently access this with my laptop but thinking about using the iPad2 for work

H E L L O ! - a JAVA book probably by Sue ???
So you know about this then? - GOOD!
Actually the first chapter is all about the early attempts to succeed in achieving computational result with a binary output, plus of course the history of programming perverts and people who were relatively normal once upon a while. It goes from Nigel Astley Heatherington-Smythe, who as one time assistant to Charles Babbage spent the remainder of his twilight years with the Tuareg people of North Africa, mounting camels and cackling insanely to himself whist reciting natural logarithm tables. And spanning right accross the decades to the present day 'uj' from Sweden, who seems to be suffering from a severe gender identity crisis typical of many of his forebears.
(The second chapter is about spanking ... mostly)

Best way to build an web-based voice record player

Could anyone please guide me on what technology to use to
build a online voice recorded that would record a users voice using
a flash player from a website and then the voice is saved on the
server side. What would be the best way to build something like
that.
Thanks,
Ket

Use Flash or Flex for the client side, and Flash Media
Interactive Server on the server side.

Hi. I want to build a GUI based on several windows appearing following a certain sequence. How can i create different windows in the same VI? Also, i want the front panel of a subvi to appear when i run, how can i enable this.Thanks

Having several windows appear ...

Hi,
You can't create several windows for one VI. But you can use the "Tab Control" and change tab's in the program. Or you can use sub VI's and show ther front panels.
To show the front panel of a sub VI you have to open the VI you want to show and select "File->VI Properties". In the VI Properties window select Category "Window Appearance" and click Customize...
In the Customize Window Appearence window, here you can set a number of attributes for how the window will appear, select "Show front panel when called" and "Close afterwards if originally closed" click OK and OK and save the VI, done.
Now the VI front panel will appear then you use it as a sub VI.

Web based data entry for BCS layout

Dear Gurus,
Please advice how to enter the data using web layouts into the BCS cube. I know that we cannot simply generate the layouts from BCS workbench like we can do using BPS0 for Business planning transactional cube, but I know that BCS also has this feature available to use web for entering transaction data.
Please advice.
Thanks
Abhinav

Hi Jide,
BCS offers an own fexible upload which you could use for the non SAP companies, without BW ETL
you can create a BCS task for the BCS Monitor where you can load flatfiles.
check: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/52/6d973bef5cf61de10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
for the SAP companies you can use the "Load from datastream" to load data from a BW Infoprovider:
check: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/52/6d973bef5cf61de10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

Accessing wsdl to build a web svcs client app

We are users of WebLogic 8.1 but have hit an embarrassing impasse. We were demonstrating
how good it was using web services by deploying a service and using each of the
leading market tools to build a client app dynamically by just pointing the tool
at the published wsdl doc.
We hit a brick wall trying to do this with WLW.
For example in 3 mins in both JBuilderX & WebSphereAD5.1 we could tell the tool
we wanted to build a Web Service THEN WE SELECT 'CLIENT', provide a URL to where
the *.wsdl for the service is, then generate the code and test the functions published.
Three experts at work (self included) just can't figure out how to even get started
when attempting this with WLW. The help in WLW is as below ...
Creating a Web Service Control from a WSDL File
This procedure describes how to create a Web Service control if you have a WSDL
file for the target web service.
Ensure that the WSDL file for the web service is in your project.
Browse to the WSDL file in the Application pane.
Right-click on the WSDL file in the Application pane and select Generate JCX.
None of us could achieve this.
Any pointers to if this (dynamic build by pointing to wsdl URL) can be done at
all will be much appreciated. If not we know which tools to adopt.

Not a problem, I hope you have success with it. There's nothing like
popping up workshop and dropping in a control to talk with a web service in
like two minutes flat, I've found that has a nice profound affect when doing
demos. I also personally try to find a web service written in dot net or
perl or something totally opposite of J2EE which shows not only speed and
ease of creation but complete interoperability as well :)

Doug,
You're thinking is correct in that it should be easy to do this in
Workshop
and in fact it is. Grab a WSDL file from somewhere like xmethods.com
if you
don't have an internal repository containing your own services. I assume
you want to incorporate the service into a page flow? Open the .jpf,
under
data palette->controls->add select web service. In the wizard that pops
up
select a reference variable name in step one. In step two decidewhether
you want to use an existing .jcx or create a new one (it sounds like
you're
going to want to create a new one) In step three enter the uri for the
WSDL, click create and you're almost done. The only thing left is to
call
the methods of the web service and incorporate the results somewhere
in you
control or presentation. One cool thing that Workshop does is to provide
the ability to automagically create a pageflow from the .jcx control,
simply
right click the control you've created, select generate pageflow and
follow
the wizard. Of course this is good for demos and you'll probably want
to
tweak it for real development work :)

Web based worklist not working...

Hello,
(on wlpi 2.1 on weblogic sp2)
I've created a process that utilizes a stateless session bean. Every thing works
fine when using the fat-client worklist.
I wanted to use the web-based worklist with my process, so I did the following:
1.) Installed the %wlint_home%/samples/bpm_api/jsp/worklist.war from the weblogic
console.
2.) Tweaked the "startWeblogic.cmd" file (I'm in NT) to add the wlpi-worklist.jar
file into the classpath. (this is all in the reamde file in %wlint_Home%/samples/bpm_api/jsp/)
This works at first, as I can get to the login screen, but as soon as I log in, I
get a "Classnotfound error" saying it can't find my home interface for my session
bean.
So, I figured, "Must not be in the classpath (somehow)". I added my bean .jar file
into the classpath, and then try again. I get a different error that says "Classnotfound
error" for the EJBHelper. Same error happens on the fat client in both cases.
I can simply take out my startWeblogic classpath changes, and restart the server,
and the fat-client works again (but the jsp worklist doesn't not -- no surprise.)
Has anyone been able to get the jsp-based worklist to work with a process that uses
an EJB?

I totally lost my internet connection via the router WRT54GS V6
I am connected directly into the computer from my cable modem.
I have tried everything. Upgarded firmware, factory default reset, setting the software again and again.
When I run Easylink Advisor it always reads, no internet...like I said the modem is working when plugged directly into my computer.
All proper lights are working on the router and modem.
Could the router be just be broken?
It seems to be getting worse and worse.
help please.

Using project libraries for both web-based and AIR applications

I need to develop substantial code to build both web-based and AIR applications. Yes, they will have different features, especially when it comes to accessing files on the local file system.
However, 98% of the code can be shared.
I want to use a project library that can be used for both types of applications. Maybe using conditional compile when required to not use AIR API's in a web-based application.
I found this (somewhat old) warning:
Include Adobe AIR libraries Select this option if your library must use AIR features, such as access to the AIR APIs. Flex Builder then changes the library path of this new Flex Library project so that it includes airglobal.swc and airframework.swc. Web-based Flex projects cannot use this library.
Do not select this option if you are writing a generic library intended to be used only in a web-based Flex application, or in either a web-based or AIR-based application.
Does this apply to Flash Builder 4.5?

I have found a workaround, but it's quite clumsy, involving a transfer vector (in old-fashioned terms) in the main application for each function in the AIR library.
I have created a library for AIR classes only (fourdtext.fileOperations is there).
The AIR application provides "Function" values that any other code in the general-purpose libraries can use.
It works, but it's nasty.
In Main.mxml:
import com.fourdtext.fileOperations.AxFiles;
// this gets a list of native path strings, from and array of "File" objects
public var AxGetListFunction:Function = AxGetListRedirect;
private function AxGetListRedirect(list:Array):Vector.<String>{
return AxFiles.AxGetList(list);
In general-purpose code:
var list:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("air:file list") as Array;
var AxGetList:Function = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.AxGetListFunction;
listFiles = AxGetList(list);

Insert doc/pdf/jpg into BLOB using forms (web based)

Hi All,
we have 81741 db on window2000(data server), forms6.0.8.20.1 on windows2000(webserver)
& users using IE6/netscape as setup. User wants to store a pdf/doc/jpg file (stored on his PC)
into database.
He wants ability to view this pdf/doc/jpg later & have ability to download again to his pc. Please note
that we have web based setup & not using HTTP server (using WebDB listener).
I am planning to use BLOB to store the table in database, but cannot figure out what/how to force forms
to do this.
If someone has done this before, could you please update this thread on how to proceed.
Thanks a lot for your input...
Abhi.

AS far as inserting images you can use the image item in Oracle Forms and base it on a blob column in the database.
Regarding the other types of data you can upload them to the database using a Java function on the application server (use the java importer from Forms to call the Java class). You can use another Java function to retrieve the info from the database to the application server, and then use web.show_document to get the file from the application server to the client.
Or you can wait a few weeks for the Webutil utility that will have this functunality built into it.
