Programmatically determine the TAB I am on ??

HI,
I am building an POrtal that would have
few different tabs. In each of these I do
something different in the Portlets, and so would like to programmatically know what TAB the User is seeing at a given point in time.
Q1 - Do, the TABS also have unique page ids
OR are they the same for all the TABS in
given page ??
Q2 - If they all have the same pageid, I am using the session variable to determine the name of the tab. I have an API that stores the name of the TAB in a cookie.
But there is a time delay betw. storing and fetching the cookie value after the tab has been rendered.
So, is there a better way to do this ??
thanks

Good question. We too are interested in doing this. If I come across anything I'll be sure to post it as a reply.

How do I programmatically determine the cursor legend refnum?

I am determining the controls and such of a front panel programmatically as I have a need to be able to modify panels quickly without the manual editing necessary. I need to know how to determine the refnum of a cursor legend for a waveform or XY graph in a programmatic fashion rather than by creating a reference node.

That is a good question. The cursor legend reference is not returned if you get a list of all the object references. The graph is, so you can get its reference and get the cursor legend reference from it. You probably only need to look at the ones with a visible property set to true.

How can I programmatically determine the capabilities of a card under NI-DAQmx (e.g. max sample rate, number of AI/AO/CTR channels, etc.

Is there a DAQ_Get_Device_Info() equivalent for NIDAQmx? I need to iterate thru all the devices on my system, and build up a list of device capabilities. The system may include M-series and E-series cards.

Attached is a program I've used in the past to determine number of AI channels. It could be easily modified to check for AO or digital or counter. Also, there is a ton of properties that you have access to (i.e. max sample rate, max/min voltage inputs, etc.) that are accessed as properties of the type of channel, or timing properties, as opposed to properties of the board. Check out the DAQmx C Reference Help (Usually at Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ). Expand the NI-DAQmx C Properties, and look at the List of Channel Properties, and Timing Properties, etc.

Determine the active tab in a selection screen

Hello,
is it possible to determine which tab is currently activated in a selection screen with several tabs?
I will include different code in different tabs. When pressing the "execute" button the program should return the active tab (as a value).
Thanks
Florian Schwaiger

Hi florain,
Before you can use a tabstrip control in your ABAP program, you must create a control for each control in the declaration part of your program using the following statement:
CONTROLS <ctrl> TYPE TABSTRIP.
where <ctrl> is the name of the tabstrip area on a screen in the ABAP program. The control allows the ABAP program to work with the tabstrip control. The statement declares a structure with the name <ctrl> . The only component of this structure that you need in your program is called ACTIVETAB.
Use in the PBO event
Before the screen is displayed, you use the control to set the tab page that is currently active. To do this, assign the function code of the corresponding tab title to the component ACTIVETAB:
<ctrl>-ACTIVETAB = <fcode>.
When you page at the SAPgui, you only need to do this once before the screen is displayed. This initializes the tabstrip control. The default active tab page is the first page. After this, the page activated when the user chooses a tab title is set within SAPgui.
When you page on the application server, you must assign the active page both before the screen is displayed for the first time, and each time the user pages. At the same time, you must set the required subscreen screen.
You can suppress a tab page dynamically by setting the ACTIVE field of table SCREEN to 0 for the corresponding tab title.
Use in the PAI event
In the PAI event, ACTIVETAB contains the function code of the last active tab title on the screen.
When you page in the SAPgui, this allows you to find out the page that the user can currently see. When you page at the application server, the active tab page is controlled by the ABAP program anyway.
The OK_CODE field behaves differently according to the paging method:
Paging in the SAPgui
When you page in the SAPgui, the PAI event is not triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and the OK_CODE field is not filled. The OK_CODE field is only filled by user actions in the GUI status or when the user chooses a pushbutton either outside the tabstrip control or on one of the subscreens.
Paging on the application server
If you are paging at the application server, the PAI event is triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and the OK_CODE field is filled with the corresponding function code.
To page through the tabstrip control, you must assign the function code to the ACTIVETAB component of the control:
<ctrl>-ACTIVETAB = <ok_code>.
This statement overwrites the function code of the last active tab page with that of the new tab title. At the same time, you must ensure that the correct subscreen is inserted in the subscreen area.
Otherwise, tabstrip controls are handled like normal subscrens in ABAP programs, that is, the ABAP program of a subscreen screen must contain the dialog modules called from the flow logic of the subscreen.
Examples
Tabstrip control, paging at SAPgui
REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_TABSTRIP_LOCAL.
CONTROLS MYTABSTRIP TYPE TABSTRIP.
DATA: OK_CODE TYPE SY-UCOMM,
      SAVE_OK TYPE SY-UCOMM.
MYTABSTRIP-ACTIVETAB = 'PUSH2'.
CALL SCREEN 100.
MODULE STATUS_0100 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'SCREEN_100'.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE CANCEL INPUT.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE USER_COMMAND INPUT.
SAVE_OK = OK_CODE.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
IF SAVE_OK = 'OK'.
    MESSAGE I888(SABAPDOCU) WITH 'MYTABSTRIP-ACTIVETAB ='
                                  MYTABSTRIP-ACTIVETAB.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.

Determining the Current Tab

I am currently on a project dealing with tabs as defined by the 3.0.9 portal.
It is an absolute showstopper if we cannot determine which tab page a portlet is on, that is if we cannot know the identity/state of the currently rendered tab in a page.
Either we need to know how to hook to a tab so that when it is clicked we can get some info, or we must have the state of the currently visible tab page.
There is no apparent API for this.
We have tried to construct a tab page monitor, but cannot attach aportlet to the page which we can guarantee will be rendered first, and therefor use that to guarantee the rest of the portlets on the page will be rendered properly.
Once again, this is a showstopper for the client. There must be a reliable workaround for this, but we have not found it.
Help!

I'm concerned...
It has been suggested that I could essentiall parse the "_pageid" variable from the current page URL to get the information about which tab is visible, by matching what I know to be the page, and tab numbers for the tabs on the page. I certainly can do that.
Even a brute force approach such as this requires that I have access to the current Page URL.
Perhaps I have missed something, but is there a method in PL.SQL for me to get the URL for the current page, rather than for the current portlet?
I cannot guarantee which sequence portlets will be rendered on the page, only that they will all start and finish ( or time out ) before the page is displayed to me.
So, Is there a method to get the Page URL( with query string attached ) between the time when it is sent (completed) to the server to be rendered, and time when the page is displayed in my browser.
This is the time when the portlets on the page need the information to do their jobs.
Or, is there a way to hook into the tab, and when it is pressed, set some state variable that will serve the purpose as well.
We are using only the standard components and PL/SQL as required to promote maintenance and eventual reuse.

How to determine the positioning order when using tab key?

Hallo,
in my jspx-page i want to define the order which the cursor jumps when the user is using the tab key.
i don't know how to? in html there i can use tabindex. which way i must go?
Any help is appreciated.

I found that tabindex is not applicable. But i think it is an important point for better handling.
Is there no easy way to do it?

Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate

Dears,
I defined, in the document type to be used for Goods Receipt, the field T003-KURST (Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate) equal to u2018Pu2019: exchange rate type used also for standard translation for cost planning.
Then, I created a Purchase Order using a vendor in foreign currency, and in the header section within tab u2018Delivery/Invoiceu2019 in field "Exchange Rate" I filled in the exchange rate valid at the moment of the Purchase Order creation and I also put the flag in the indicator "Fixing of Exchange Rate".
Afterwards, I posted the Goods Receipt against the Purchase Order created at the previous step.
My expectations were to find in FI accounting:
- 1 line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST;
- 1 line item for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- 1 line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR.
but when I checked the accounting document, these my expectations were not met, because:
- the line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) has not been valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST, but a differet exchange rate that I didnu2019t find defined for this couple of currencies;
- the line for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) has been valuated as expected using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- the line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR has been created.
The help (F1) for field T003-KURST, show the following indication:
Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate
    Rate type under which the proposed rate is defined for foreign currency documents.
Use
    If no exchange rate is specified in the document header when entering documents in foreign currencies, the system will automatically select a rate from the currency translation rate table. The system then converts all amounts in the document's line items using this exchange rate.
    The system uses the average rate as a default value as long as no other exchange rate type is entered here.
Based on this message, my expectation is that all documentu2019s line items have to be converted at the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST. And in the case mentioned above, the line for stock (BSX) should be converted at exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST.
While, correctly, the line for GR/IR (WRX) has been converted at the exchanged rate fixed in the purchase order.
Can you please let me know how can be fixed the problem for the line related to the stock allowing the conversion using the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST?
Thanks and Regards,
Jody

Hello Jody,
kindly consider the information contained under the attached note:
191927 - Posting logic: GR for foreign currency PO.
As stated in it:
Postings to the material stock account (BSX):
In order to be able to determine the value of the stock posting, the
valuation methods which exist in the material master in local currency
(standard price, total value of stock) must be converted into document
currency. This translation is thus carried out on the posting date with
the exchange rate type that is assigned to the FI document type used,
that is, independent from the exchange rate defined in the purchase
order!
If no exchange rate type is assigned to an FI document type, the system
uses exchange rate type M.
Please, check in your system the settings stored in the customizing
transaction OBF4 for the document type WE (Goods receipt). If the field
'Exch.Rate Type for foreign currency documents' is empty, the exchange
rate type M is used.
The fixed conversion rate in the purchase order refers to the valuation
approach in the purchase order and, therefore, to the costs for the
purchased material. Therefore, the posting amount to the GR/IR clearing
account (WRX) is converted according to the fixed conversion rate in the
purchase order header.
On the other side the fixed conversion rate in the purchase order is not
designed for converting the posting values to the material stock account
(BSX). This conversion reflects the situation of the valuation of the
material stock and is therefore designed to be independent of the
conversion rate defined in the purchase order. This is what note 191927
outlines.
In the note 191927 you will also locate relevant information about the
postings to the KDM key:
Exchange rate differences (KDM):
As of Release 4.0A, exchange rate differences (KDM) can be posted to a
separate account. The exchange rate differences result from the
difference of the clearing value on the GR/IR clearing account (WRX) in
document currency that is translated to the current exchange rate stored
in the system in local currency from the clearing value in local
currency that is determined with the conversion factor from the purchase
order or the invoices.
The offsetting entry for the exchange rate differences is settled with
the price difference.
(Price difference = GR/IR amount - stock value - exchange rate
difference)
KDM is only posted during the GR if the flag T169P-XPLCU is initial,
therefore, KDM postings will not occur during incoming invoices.
This is determined in the IMG path:
Materials Management
-> Logistics Invoice Verification
   -> Incoming Invoice
      -> Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated
Here, you have the following options per Company Code:
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the goods receipt and the
   exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt.
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt and an
   assumed exchange rate that is valid for a specific amount of time,
   such as a year or a season.
.- No exchange rate differences will be calculated. Instead, differences
   from exchange rate variations will be considered as price differences
   and posted to a price difference account.
The field T001A-CURDT for the company code will determine which date is
relevant to calculate the exchange rate difference.
This is set under the IMG path:
Financial Accounting
-> Financial Accounting Global Settings
   -> Company Code
      -> Multiple Currencies
         -> Define Additional Local Currencies
So, finally, the value for KDM calculates as difference between
GR/IR amount in local currency - GR/IR amount in foreign
currency*exchange rate.
I hope this information can be of help.
cheers

How to determine the database driver a report uses?

Hello experts. I'm using Crystal Report XI R2 and C# (.net 4.0 runtime).
For a given report, I'd like programmatically determine what database driver(s) a report and it's sub-reports use. The nice thing is that I don't want to change it.
When I refer to database drivers I'm talking about the choices one gets when starting a new report in the Crystal UI. Something like the following:
Access/Excel (DAO)
ADO.NET (XML)
Database Files
ODBC (RDO)
OLE DB (ADO)
I've looked into the developers help file that came with Crystal XI R2, crsdk_net_doc.chm, and can't find any references that would help. Maybe it's what I'm searching on.
My goal is for a given directory produce a list of rpt files that use OLE DB and a MS-SQL Server provider.
Thanks for looking at my question, any assistance is appreciated.
Mike

Also note since you are using 4.0 framework you must also be using VS 2010.
CR for VS 2010 is the only version supported with 4.0 framework.
See this page to download it: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet
Or go back to VS 2008.
Code would look something like this:
     public class frmMain : System.Windows.Forms.Form
        CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
        CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument rptClientDoc;
New subrepoutine...
            ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
            rcd = rptClientDoc;
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo oldConninfo;
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo newConnInfo = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table oldTbl;
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CommandTable newTbl = new CommandTable();
            oldTbl = (CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table)rcd.Database.Tables[0];
            oldConninfo = oldTbl.ConnectionInfo.Clone(true);

Determine the outcome of an action in the jsp page?

can i determine the outcome of an action in the jsp page?
for example:
i create a jsp file that contains two links, that play the role of tabs....
the action is different for the two links say "action1" and "action2" but the result page is the same original page...
can i determine what whas the action the user clicked?( so that i can display different things, according to action )

you can use the <f:param> component with your commandLink and set a different value for each of your link. Then, in your jsp, you should be able to retrieve the value of the parameter in the request.

How do i programmatically get the current version of a file?

I asked this same question in the SP2013 forum and I haven't been able to determine the solution. So I posting this here, to maybe get more eyes on this issue.
...I am basically trying to programmatically get the current version of a document in a library, then determine if its a major or minor version, in code. I have tried doing this, to get the current version but I keep getting an empty string returned.
var versions = item.File.Versions;
string currentVersion = string.Empty;
foreach (SPListItemVersion version in item.Versions)
DateTime lastMod = version.Created;
foreach (SPFileVersion fileVersion in versions)
if (fileVersion.IsCurrentVersion == true)
currentVersion = fileVersion.ToString();
Does anyone know what am doing wrong, and how to get this resolved? I really appreciate the help. Thanks

Why not just get the SPListItem and look at it's Version property? That'll be the latest version.
No need to go into the Versions collection etc. When you get a list item you get the current version as standard.

How do I determine the size of an event queue?

Hi,
I'd like to be able to programmatically determine how many events are in queue so that I can change how they are processed based on how far behind the loop is.
Is there a way to easily do this in labview?
I suppose I could create an identical parallel event loop that just counts the events as they come in, and then subtract the ones that get processed by the main event loop, but it seems like there should be an easier way.
I'm using LV 8.1
Thanks,
Greg

So you are recomending running two event loops, one waiting for the faster events and one waiting for the slower events?
I wouldn't put it that way.
Any event that takes 'long' (eg. a significant amount of time), should be processed in a consumer loop.
So the event arives in the normal event structure, and is than feed to a consumer loop via a queue.
In the LabVIEW examples there is a framework example called 'Produces/consumer with events' (or something like that).
If you have a specific type of event generating very fast and you are only interested in the last a notifier might be usefull.

How to determine the length of a LRAW field

Hi
I'm trying to write a generic persistency class that saves data in a table with a lraw field.
As required the lraw field must be preceded by a length field of type INT2, but how can I calculate the actual length of the lraw field?
kind regards Thomas

Hi Martin
I'm sorry to tell you that you are wrong. The INT2 field must contain the actual length.
I have a table with a LRAW of 1024 bytes, but if I put 15 to the length field, then only 15 bytes are stored in the database.
Of course I could just enter 1024 for the length, but that would wast a lot of database space - and performance.
My class has a persistency method that inserts or updates a record in the database. The data that should be stored in the LRAW is sent to the method via a pointer (field symbol) of type X. This pointer can point at any data type.
Something like this:
field-symbols: <input> type x.
field-symbols: <lraw> type x.
*assign any field to <input>
assign <lraw> to mydbtable-lraw_field casting.
<lraw> = <input>.
*here i need to determine the length of mydbtable-lraw_field before i store the content to the database.
By debugging I can tell that if the pointer points to a char 32 field then the length of the X pointer is 64 and if the pointer points to a timestamp then the length of the x pointer is 8, but how can I determine this length programmatically - either from the x pointer or from the LRAW?
Best regards
Thomas

How to determine the values for Model Parameters in Forecasting

Hello Gurus,
On basis we will determine the values for the Model Parameter values (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Sigma).
Thanks,
Siva.

Dear Siva,
the values are dependent from the forecast stratey and forecast model.
The forecast strategy determines the method or the techniques that are used to create the forecast. You set the forecast strategy in the forecast profile.
There are some settings that you must make for certain forecast strategies. The table below shows you which settings these are. You make these settings either in the univariate forecast profile or under the Model and Parameters tabs of the Forecast view on the demand planning desktop.
Model initialization is the process by which the system determines the necessary model parameters for the chosen forecast model. These parameters are in following link:
