Query and return attributes from SAP R/3

Hi All,
Please help in how to fetch attributes from SAP R/3 and display in IDM.
There is an attribute which will have list of names and id's in SAP R/3 we need to fetch that information from SAP R/3 and display that information in SUN IDM.
We are Using JCO adapter.
Pls help me in this.

You can get a list of users on an SAP system with the bapi function "BAPI_USER_GETLIST". I don't see that function used by the resource adapter for SAP. You can write some Java code to call "BAPI_USER_GETLIST" and write a rule to access it.

Call external URL from ABAP userexit, capture data and return it to SAP?

My apologies if this question has been asked before, but I've searched for a few hours today and haven't found anything directly related to my question. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide!
I would like to be able to make a call from an SAP userexit during Sales Order Entry in the VA01 transaction in the SD module to an external website, allow the user to capture some data in the external site and then pass that data back into the userexit where I can use it to populate internal tables, etc.
I'm completely unfamiliar with Web Dynpro programming, but this seems like a good place to start my search for a solution.
Does this sound like a problem that can be solved with Web Dynpro and what documentation or code examples should I reference to go about building such a solution.
I should also note that I'm hoping to build a solution that could be called from any userexit in R/3, SAP ERP, SAP CRM, etc. and would obviously need to learn about what dependencies to consider (ex: SAP GUI version, SAP product release number, Web AS release, etc.).
Eric

Thank you for the response. Let me provide some additional information.
The external application will be a Hosted Web page. It is not an SAP system.
The external application will be a web page served by a separate system outside of the company domain(shouldn't matter what the technology is I would think - but the web page will be hosted by a different company than the one calling the URL) that would appear as a web page in which the user will enter data, logic will be performed on that data and then some or all of the data would need to be passed back to the calling point in SAP.
For practical discussions it doesn't matter to me if the call in ABAP occurs in an SD userexit, in a custom report, in an HR screen or in a CRM business partner screen. There will be many places where this external application may be called from and I'm just trying to figure out how to call an external HTTPS URL and return data from that web page to the calling point in ABAP.
I hope that clarifies my question.
Thanks!

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

URGENT HELP !JCO RETURN structure from SAP

Hello,
I am working on my intern project and I got some trouble.
I have used JDBC to access a table in Oracle(this is an independent DB)I updated a column in the table and selected all data that
was marked as 6 based on the update(SAP needs this data). I passed the values to a JCO application,
which connects to SAP and send the data (I presume what I'm doing is correct) to a structure in SAP.
SAP does some internal calculations with the data and should return the data back using the same
structure but this time with some changes on the data.
For example the field steuk is marked as 7 if the data processing was successful and if the data
structure wasn't successful a 6 will be return.
The return Values should be updated in the oracle DB indicating if the transfer was successful
or not. And next time the same data will be sent to SAP following the same path.
Now when I look at the return getString data in Eclipse, the result seems ambiguous.I don't see the data I presumably
sent to the SAP structure using:
JCO.ParameterList list = function.getTableParameterList();
JCO.Table ztable = list.getTable("ZSAORA_RUECK");
     for (int i = 0; i < 19; i++) {
     ztable.appendRow();
     ztable.setValue(value,field name);
Am I doing some thing wrong here??? Any Help will be highly appreciated. Codes could be sent to [email protected]

Hi Astrid,
Thank you for your remarks. The problem I'm having is that when I do send the values to SAP using the loop:
JCO.ParameterList list = function.getTableParameterList();
JCO.Table ztable = list.getTable("ZSAORA_RUECK");
     for (int i = 0; i < 19; i++) {
     ztable.appendRow();
     ztable.setValue(value,field name);
I do expect to have(or see) some values when I do access the same table structure(This is just a structure and
not a real table as I do understand that there is a different between a structure and a table in SAP) and
not the field names back.In the second try and catch block:
try {
     codes = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("ZSAORA_RUECK");
     System.out.println("Return Values starts HERE:");
     for (int i =0; i < codes.getNumRows(); i++){
     codes.setRow(i);
     System.out.println(codes.getString("MANDT")+ 't'+
     codes.getValue("KOKRS")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("WERKS")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("ARBPL")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("AUFNR")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("VORNR")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("ILE01")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("LSA01")+ 't'+
     codes.getString("ISM01")
I'm trying to access the values I sent in the first try and catch block. I presume I should see some real values and not the
field names.This is how my output looks like:
300     KOKR     WERK     ARBPL0     AUFNR0     VORN     ILE
300     KOKR     WERK     ARBPL1     AUFNR1     VORN     ILE
300     KOKR     WERK     ARBPL2     AUFNR2     VORN     ILE
300     KOKR     WERK     ARBPL3     AUFNR3     VORN     ILE
300     KOKR     WERK     ARBPL4     AUFNR4     VORN     ILE
300     KOKR     WERK     ARBPL5     AUFNR5     VORN     ILE
This does not reflect the values but the field names. Why is it this way? Does it mean that my array is wrong or I'm not at all
sending the values. Please HELP ME OUT HERE.
Could any one show me a better way how to send the values selected from Oracle table using perhaps an
ARRAY to the ZSAORA_RUECK structure in SAP?
I am trying to send the values from the select statement in the first jdbc application
to the value field in ztable.setValue(value, field name).
My Regards!

Hi,
First thing U can't do this way in java. If U are executing this sort of database query, after retriving all the values, put inside Haahtable or HashMap as the application required and return it.
Otherwise execute this query at the same place where u r printing values in jsp page insted of writing it inside seperate method..It will work.
If still it's not workimg, please let me know.

Hi experts.
I sent request from DEV system to PRD system at OS level but I am facing interesting problem.

Creating a function and return something from an XML file

Hi!
I'm working with timeline actionscript. I want to create a function that loads my xmlfile and returns an xmlobject with the file's content.
This is what I got so far:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getXML("myxml.xml")); //1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
function getXML(fn:String):void{
     var infoLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
     infoLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
     infoLoader.load(new URLRequest(fn));
     var myXML:XML = xmlLoaded(); //1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
     trace(myXML);
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):XML{
     return e.target.data;
     //trace(e.target.data);
Can anyone take a look and perhaps point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I have never used a listcomponent, so I can only help with the steps before filling it with data.
I think you should at start of your application load the XML with filenames and just after it's completed, e.g. in Event.COMPLETE handler, load all other XMLs looping through filenamesXML, like this
var filenamesXML:XML;
var XMLsToLoad:uint = 0;
function filenamesXMLLoaded(e:Event):void
     filenamesXML = XML(e.target.data);
     XMLsToLoad = filenamesXML.filenames.children().length();
     for (var i:uint =1; i < filenamesXML.filenames.children().length(); i++)
              getXML( filenamesXML.filenames.children()[i] ); // the function from my previous post, don't forget to implement it
//modify the minor xml load handler from the previous post
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
     var loadedXML:XML = XML(e.target.data);
     xmlArray.push(loadedXML);
     XMLsToLoad--;
//assign the one click handler to all buttons, a loop here would be quite handy
function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
     if (XMLsToLoad == 0) //check if all xmls have been completely loaded
          switch (e.target.name) // swith by clicked button's instance name
               case "button_1":
                    // here you have to implement supplying listcomponent with data, I think a loop again will be a good idea
                    break;
               case "button_2":
                    // ibid.

Data (Master Data Changes and Transaction Data) from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1

Hi guys
I have seen posts on this forum describing data transfers from SAP R/3 to SAP BPC. I assume the procedure for data transfers from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1 should be the same i.e. using SSIS packages.
However I have some unique requirements -
1. DATA AT DIFFERENT AGGREGATED LEVELS - I need data from SAP BW at different levels - Some data comes at Product level while other at Customer level and some at Project Level. The current procedure takes BW queries output in excel sheets (6 files) and then use the data manager package to load the data in SAP BPC 5.1 using appropriate transformation and conversion files. This procedure is highly manual and I am looking at using SSIS package to do this. However, because of having data at different levels, it becomes a little tricky. How can we achieve this using SSIS?
2. UPDATING MASTER DATA - I need to update the master data (dimension members) in SAP BPC 5.1 at the start of every month. The current procedure compares (in MS ACCESS) the data from the queries mentioned in 1 to the dimension members in SAP BPC 5.1 and spits a file with the new entries which needs to be manually updated in the appropriate dimensions using Admin Console. I am looking at automating this task. I cannot just replace all the contents of a dimension with the members coming from SAP BW since the dimension members contains some dummy members which are used for planning.
3. HIERARCHY CHANGES - What is the best way to capture the hierarchy changes in SAP BW into SAP BPC 5.1?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya,
how did you solve the described problems? Can you give some hints about uploading master data and updating the hierarchy?

the XML-file used by the gallery.
Especially the alt and title attributes for the "img
id="mainImage"-tag would add a bit more user friendliness.
I found
this
example about adding caption to images very help full and
everything worked just fine, thanks to clear information!
(http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602&threadi d=1306782&enterthread=y)
Could someone come up with an example of adding title/alt
attributes values from XML file?
I'm sure there are quite a few out ther who would like to see
a solution to this ;)

You need to add your info to the XML.
So something like:
<photo
path = "travel_01.jpg"
width = "263"
height = "350"
title="my title"
alt_text="Alt Text"
thumbpath = "travel_01.jpg"
thumbwidth = "56"
thumbheight = "75">
</photo>
Then in your detailregion:
<img src="{dsData::large/@base}{@path}" alt="{@alt_text}
title="{@title}" />
I am using
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_photo_album.html
as the source of my samples...
So, just add the data to the XML and then you will have these
attributes available as data references.
Hope this helps.

Multithreading and Returning Value from RMI

Hi all,
I have an RMI Object which is Multi Threaded. The scenario is like this:
The client program will pass different program specific codes to the RMI object. Multiple clients can pass same or different codes. If the codes are different they can share common data in an asynchronous way other wise they need to be synchronized.
This RMI object will do some database transactions and will return a value to the client. I am not sure how to return a value to the client which has invoked this method as this method executes asynchronously.
I am sorry if this posting is inappropriate for this forum.
Thanks in Advance
Srinivas

If the database transaction executes asyncrhonously, the remote method has to wait for it and return the result via the return statement.
As the remote request is already executing in a thread of its own there is of course no need for the database transaction to execute asynchronously from RMI's point of view so if you can get rid of that complication in your architecture you may as well do it. OTOH your application architecture may do it for other reasons

Excel VBA - Automatically checkout and checkin documents from SAP R/3

Hello,
I'm trying to implement some sort of automatic solution for checking out and in documents in SAP.
We have EasyDMS as Document Management System and need to reword about 10000 files which have a bug in their macro. For this purpose I created an Addin for Word and Excel that changes the macros automatically when opening a file. Due to security problems we cannot distribute this Addin to all Users (because you must deactivate macro security for enabling this Addin). So we thought about a possibility to automate the process and do the changes over weekend.
My idea was to write a makro in Excel that takes the information about the files (documentnumber, version...) form an Excel table and uses RFC to call a function that can checkout the files. On this machine the Addin would be enabled, of course.
I found the function "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTMODIFY2" and tried to implement the call via RFC, but I get an error.
The error says: Application-defined or object-defined error
I think the Problem is the data structure of the parameters.
Can someone figure out how I have to set up the parameters to get the function to work? I have no idea how this should be done, although I read some tutorials.
Thanks for your help!
regards,
Thomander
Here is my Code so far (I stopped because I get the error at line "objDocumentfile.Value = "Test 2.doc"):
Dim sapConn As Object 'Declare variant
Set sapConn = CreateObject("SAP.Functions") 'Create ActiveX object
If sapConn.Connection.Logon(0, False) <> True Then 'Try Logon
MsgBox "Cannot Log on to SAP"
End If
Dim objFunction As Object
Set objFunction = sapConn.Add("BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTMODIFY2")
Dim objDocumenttype As Object
Dim objDocumentnumber As Object
Dim objDocumentpart As Object
Dim objDocumentversion As Object
Dim objDocumentfile As Object
Set objDocumenttype = objFunction.Exports("DOCUMENTTYPE")
