Problem in Generic Sync example

Hi
I downloaded the generic sync templete from the MDK documentation and deployed it to my MI client but when i try to get the information from the WEBAS it is giving the following error
Error: 500

The Trace error from the MI Client is
E There is no MSD for current application (genericsync_simple)
how do i set the MSD for the Application?
do i have to make any changes to the template and then deploye or is there anything missing in the SAP WebAS installed?
i also checked the BWAFMAPP table for the method name "MDK_USER_INFO_READ"
Thanks and Regards
Gopi

Hi Gopi!
You are getting the following error from the Trace error from the MI Client is
"E There is no MSD for current application "(genericsync_simple)
Is that right?
(1) Log On to MI Web Console, Verify you have Uploaded the Mobile Component "genericsync_simple" correctly in the MI WebConsole.Since you have deployed the application in MI Client you should have your MCD Description here.Make sure the deployment info is correct.
(2) Log on to SAP MI Server and go to transaction MCD and then display your MCD "genericsync_simple' and make sure the information provided under Deployment Tab matches correctly with your info in MI Web Console.It should be the same.
(3) You have already checked table BWAFMAPP for method MDK_USER_INFO_READ and make sure you have the correct BAPI Wrapper assigned here.You are fine here i guess.
(4)Verify that table MEMAPPDEST has the correct RFC Destination defined for the Method MDK_USER_INFO_READ.
(5) Did you Re-Start your MI Client after the First Sync that deployed the application in your MI Client.
Setting up MCD is part of Step 1 and 2.You should have completed it already.
Let me know your results.
Thanks

Problem with Generic Sync after upgrade

Hi guru,
I have this problem:
I have done a upgrade ME2.1 -> MI2.5 SP18.
I have a simple Generic sync application that using a simple Function Module:

function Z_ME_TEST_CONNECTION.
""Interfaccia locale:
*" EXPORTING
*" VALUE(STATUS) LIKE BWAFSYHEAD-STATUS
*" TABLES
*" INBOUND_CONTAINER STRUCTURE BWAFCONT
*" OUTBOUND_CONTAINER STRUCTURE BWAFCONT
perform CALL_OFFLINE_ME_METHOD using 'TEST_CONNECTION'
 INBOUND_CONTAINER[]
 OUTBOUND_CONTAINER[].
OUTBOUND_CONTAINER-FIELDNAME = 'RESULT_CONNECTION' .
OUTBOUND_CONTAINER-LINENUMBER = 0 .
OUTBOUND_CONTAINER-FIELDVALUE = 'OK'.
append OUTBOUND_CONTAINER.
endfunction.
When i synchronize my mobile client it returns back
"EWAF 001Could not execute method Z_ME_TEST_CONNECTION"
Can anybody help me in resolving this?

Hi Sivakumar, I have write the my FM in the BWAFMAPP and the RFC destination in MEMAPPDEST but i have tha same error.
This is my simple method in my application:
public String testSync(String userName) {
 String errormessage = null;
 try {
// get user out of the SyncSettings
 String user = Configuration.getInstance().getProperty(PropertyKeys.SYNCSETTINGS_USER, userName);
 OutboundContainerFactory outfactory = OutboundContainerFactory.getInstance();
 if (outfactory == null) {
 errormessage = "testSync->OutboundContainerFactory.getInstance failed";
 } else {
 OutboundContainer out = outfactory.createOutboundContainer(
 VisibilityType.SEPARATED,
 R3_METHOD_TEST_SYNC,
 OutboundContainer.TYPE_REQUEST);
 // add the name that has been typed into the JSP
 out.addItem(DC_I_USER_NAME, user.toUpperCase());
 out.addItem(DC_I_NUMBER_OF_LINES,"0");
 out.close();
 // Start Sync
 SyncManager.getInstance().synchronizeWithBackend(VisibilityType.SEPARATED);
 catch (SyncException ex) {
 errormessage = ex.getMessage();
 catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
 errormessage = ex.getMessage();
 catch (Exception ex) {
 errormessage = ex.getMessage();
 finally {
 System.out.println("testSync: errormessage="+errormessage);
 return errormessage;
 }
You have anathor idea?

Hello Ratna,
please be aware of the fact that a generic sync application needs a mobile solution descriptor (MSD) When you look at ther trace file in the log-directory of SAP ME you should find a similar entry:
"There is no MSD for current application (genericSyncExample)"
The missing MSD results in a missing conversation ID which leads to the NullpointerException that effectively is thrown in the class
ConversationIdHandler.getCurrentConversationId().
My current understanding is that the only way to get a MSD assigned, is to upload the application to the web console and install it from there on the client device.
However, this means that launching a genSync ME application from Eclipse is useless. I am wondering, if this is the way it was intended to be....
Best regards,
Tim

Problem with persistence in Generic Sync application

Hi:
We are developing an application which runson SAP Mi 2.5, SP 18,
Windows Mobile 5.0 and Generic Sync for PDAs.
We need persistence in our application. We tried with persistence API but
we found a problem and we send a message to SAP. Until we can solve
this issue we must implement persistence in other way to satisfy our customer requierements
Since now,we have implemented persistence with files but the performance of this solution does not meet our customer requirements (the search of data in the PDA is very slow).
We are thinking in another solution, which consists on using
Syncbos.Using this alternative, before making a generic sync, and
executing the code shown below:
SmartSyncRuntime.getInstance().getSyncBoDescriptorFacade
().getAllSyncBoDescriptors()
the returned syncBOS are those which I have defined in XML. On the
contrary, after making a generic sync, executing the same code, the
returned syncbos ARE NOT those whic I have defined in XML. The only
return that I get is the MIAUTH.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Kind Regards

hi satur,
there are some things to take care if you want to use the persistence layer of the
SmartSync layer from your GenericSync app.
first, you have to let the MI client think that your application is using the
SmartSync functionality. this can be achieved by just including a dummy metadata
meRepMeta.xml file in the war archive during the deployment process. once the
MI client framework sees this during the installation, it will set a flag on the MSD
that your app is a smartsync.
second, if your app is considered a smartsync, MI will generate the delta request
and upload messages for your data if ever you have your SyncBo defined in the
metadata. Since you don't want such functionalities to be ON, i would suggest to
mark all your SyncBo as local ones; i.e. using attributes suppressDownload=true
and suppressUpload=true. this way, the MI framework will skip creating the requests
and delta upload messages for your app during the synchronization process.
third, your application has to have the syncEventListener implementation to get
notification when the Sync button (or event) was initiated. if you don't want your
app to be notified, you may just add synchronization button within your application
that will call your data manager to prepare your containers (i.e. retrieving the newly
inserted syncbo, modified syncbos and the list of deleted ones -> genericSync
containers) and to call the synchronizeWithBackend method.
fourth, you need to have the inboundProcessor that will parse your data and insert
them a SyncBo into your local database.
having tried this but i guess it might work...

Generic Sync Application and Persistence DB2e

Hi all,
I have a generic sync application. I need persistence and so, I have created a xml file with many syncbo to manage the persistence with db2e. If I execute the statement before the synchronization:
SmartSyncRuntime.getInstance().getSyncBoDescriptorFacade().getAllSyncBoDescriptors().size()
the result is five (because I have five syncbo).
But when I do a generic synchronization and I try to store data of this synchronization into syncbo, I get an exception because only there is one syncbo.
In fact, the previous statement returns only one synbo. This syncbo is called MIAUTH and I don´t have defined it.
How can I solve this issue? Thanks a lot.
Regards,

Hi all,
I know it is better to use persistence API than syncbos in generic sync application but we have many problems with persistence API and SP versions. While SAP solve our problems we are searching any alternative.
We use MVC and after doing generic synchronization, if the application generates a event and navigate to other jsp and in it, the application generates other event, I get all of my syncbos.
How could I simulate it, after generic sync finishes, in the same method by code? Any ideas?
Thanks and Regads.

BAPI call generic sync?

Hi,
i am an absoulte newbie in this area of mobile infrastructure.
I want to know if it is possible to call a BAPI in the backend from a JSP application with generic sync?
If yes, how does it work?
If no, how can i use that BAPIS anyway?
Thanx

Hi,
please check the following example in the MDK:

Generic sync not work correctly

Hi,
We are trying to get the inbound container in Java application, we use the method
GetElementsWithFieldName(String) in the object InboundContainer, this method returns an array that has only one entry, but really the wrapper function in R3 returns 6500 entries.
Best regards.
Thanks all.

hi Satur,
Is your Generic Sync Application Synchronous? you may find it in using the OutBoundContainer Type. if it is TYPE_OUTBOUND its asynchronous otherwise (TYPE_REQUEST) its synchronous. The same information can be found in MESYHEAD table entries too.
If it is Asynchrnous, then the MESYBODY Containers won't get deleted unless you sync from the client. if it is synchronous, it will disappear immediately.
I suggest your application be ASynchronous and check the same. If it still happens, there's some problem with your middleware. It is not taking the container as ASynchronous Processing. You'll have to go all over your Post-Installation Settings to check if all are right. (Tedious process indeed)
If it is synchrnous and your client is not receiving all the entries, the problem is with your receiver code handling. check your Process() method.

Hello Jo,
Yes you are right that i need to modify the TableViewBean.java class. I have already done the following modification in order to display 4 fields.
private String[][] tableContent =
Also i have made the changes required in the servlet class.
Still the error persists. Suugest if this change is not proper.
Thanks & Regards.

How to see the data in data containers when working on Generic Sync ?

Hi All,
I am working on Mobile Sales For HandHeld Generic Sync based application. To check the data transafer from Mi Client > MI server> CRM backend, we are using Generic Sync Queue Monitor in NWA. But how to check the actual dara in data containers showed on the monitor? Any specific transaction ( e.g. merep_mon for smart sync) to chk the same?
Thanks & regards,
Rucha Atre

Hi,
This is a tedious process of viewing the data in the containers since there is no tool to monitor the same. The data sent from the client is stored MESYHEAD and MESYBODY. Once the entire processing is completed then the entries from this table is deleted. If the processing has failed or not taken place then the entries will in this table.
Data Containers will name value pairs with field name and data in the data field. This table will also contain data from smart sync applications.
Thanks..

Problems with mobileme syncing ...

Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data. Despite me overriding it. I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want. Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received. Its doing my head in! Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud! Any advice greatly appreciated!

Need help with CONTACT sync example

I have been trying to work with the Sync example that utilizes the MEREP_CONTACT_* BAPI wrappers. Is there anyone who has been able to get this example to work that could give more information on it? I can create the programs, but cannot get data to it. Which SyncType is it supposed to use? What directory do you create the data from MEREP_SAP_EXM002_DATA_GEN1?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Brian Timothy
[email protected]

hello brian,
i created the contactaddress test application and used these BAPIs on the backend mapped to syncBos SAP_EXM001 and SAP_EXM002. the basic requirement for this is to deploy your application together with the xml metadata.
after your application is installed in the ME, the framework will automatically send a data download request for syncBos SAP_EXM001 and SAP_EXM002 on the next synchronization. Prior to this, the application tables in the backend like the MEREP_PERSON which is mapped to the syncbo SAP_EXM002 should be filled with data.
use MEREP_SAP_EXM002_DATA_GEN2 and MEREP_SAP_EXM001_DATA_GEN1 to fill-up the tables with data.
you should have at least a data viewer for the corresponding syncbo data on your application.
hope this helps.
regards
jo
