Recreating the BAPI Explorer in Java

Hi
I'm using JCo to try to recreate something like the BAPI Explorer in a java program.
I can do something like the alphabetical view by using SWO_QUERY_API_OBJTYPES to get all objects, and then calling SWO_QUERY_API_METHODS to get the BAPIs on those objects.
Has anyone any idea what SAP functions I would use to create the hierarchical view rather than the alphabetical view?
TIA
Ian

How to stop the information bar cmoing in the Internet Explorer with java

hai all,
iam new to this forum and posting a question on java application where i had a problem.
I work in a software company. we have developed an application and it is in production and we had a small problem. we have deifferent kinds of reports te users can get dynamicalty based on theirn requet parameters. so when we are deployingthe application on server and accessing it from the client machine(bothe the server and client are diferent i mean different machines) they get an information bar that
"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options". and for this we have given them the solutions for setting the security features for the
Internet Explorer . but they want it to be done thru program such that they dont want to see that message. i need a small help for this.
It would be very help ful for me in my carreer if i get a solution for this.

I'm not 100% sure, but doesn't all applets have the same popup bar? I guess you can tell your customers to turn off their popup blocker beforehand. (This is what my uni does with WebCT Vista)

The BAPI Explorer

Hi !
Because there are often posts of the kind "... ist there a BAPI for..." I'd now like to post a little help for all who'd like to work with BAPIs.
There a very good tool in the SAP-System.
It's T-CODE is BAPI . It is the SAP-BAPI-Explorer.
In this transaction you can find all the SAP-BAPIs, the parameter descriptions and the documentation.
That may help in many cases...
Regards
Rainer
Some points would be nice if that helped a bit.

Hi Rainer,
Generally people dont wanna take the extra bit of effort to look into SAP.
Actually there are many places where one can find useful info on BAPI.
Btw a usefull link http://www.planetsap.com/LIST_ALL_BAPIs.htm
There is also www.ifr.com which gives details of BAPIS.
Cheers
VJ
Ofcourse i always like to look into the tcode BAPI as u have mentioned.

BAPI explorer functions with java

I am a newbie in SAP.
I have tested out some sample JCO programs. Then worked fine.
Now I want to go for some more.
Is it possible to implement applications like BAPI explorer with JCo ?
Basically I want to be able to list all the BAPIs with JCo ?
I have tried "RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH" with "*" entry for all input values and
the output was null.
How do I list all the BAPIs with JCo (Java Program)
Thanks !!!!

I was asking so obvious question with simple answer.
I have figured it out and it worked great. It's been a week since I started JCo program.
Anyway my problem was RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH returns output in a table.
So I had to look up the table for result message.
Now I am asking another ? I have searched the forum already and couldn't find the answer.
How do I create the hierarchical view of BAPI with JCo ?
Basically I want to implement something like BAPI explorer (tree navigator) with Java.

Hello Gurprit
I am not sure whether customer BAPIs are displayed in the BAPI explorer at all. However, you could try to push the button with the filter icon and choose option "All (BAPIs)".

BAPI not showing in BAPI Explorer

HI,
I have just created a BAPI, but it is not being shown in the BAPI Explorer. Are there any specific checks that I can perform to make sure that everything was created in the correct manner? And how do I get the BAPI to display in BAPI Explorer?
Regards,
Munish

HI,
You can use the BAPI explorer to get a step by step instruction / checklist in how to create a BAPI. In the BAPI explorer select the Project tab.
When the Business object has been checked and the documentation created, the following steps must be carried out:
1) Release the BAPI function module (in the Function Builder).
2) Release the business object type (in the BOR ObjectType -> Change release status to -> Implemented ).
3) Release the BAPI as a method in the BOR (Release the methods you has created - Set the cursor on the method then Edit -> Change release status -> Object type component -> To released )
4) For potential write BAPIs: Release the IDoc and its segments
You can now display the BAPI in the BAPI Explorer:
Assign the Points if this is helpful

Open an Explorer from Java

How i can open the default explorer from Java and redirect it to an especific URL?

here is a code snippet that might help.

BAPI Explorer

Hi
I am new to the BAPI Explorer.
I am trying to create an inbound IDOC PORDCR101 to create a po
i need to know what the required fields to be filled in are
also what the values are to be put in some of the fields
for example DOC_TYPE for a purchase order should this be PO
where can i find this info.
can the BAPI Explorer show me this?
thank you in advance

hi,
>>>>can the BAPI Explorer show me this?
of course
just find the bapi for PO creation undet materials management
double click on it and go to documentation
then you will find all sample fileds
btw for document type, material, organization data
go to ME23N for an old PO or ask MM consultant
and fill the same IDOC values as shown in the BAPI doc
as simple as that

How do I recreate the Java plug-in that I deleted after I uninstalled my old version of Java?

I used to have 2 plug-ins for Java. Now I only have 1, the Java Deployment Toolkit, which was blocked by Firefox. I deleted the other, somehow, as part of my uninstalling of my old version of Java. After I installed the latest version of Java, I expected that the deleted plug-in would reappear and that it would have the latest version information. This did not occur. One of my favorite websites no longer works correctly. My current version of Java is the Standard Edition, Version 7, Update 45 (build 1.7.0_45-b18). Please help me recreate the plug-in and/or (re)install the appropriate version of Java. Thank you.

Hmmm, it's strange that Java isn't in the Control Panel. When you view by Categories, it's usually in Programs as Java (32-bit).
But my question was just whether the DLL file is in its customary location. Is it back there again now?
Assuming so, could you step through a few different checks:
'''(1) Add-ons page — disabled plugins'''
Check to make sure Java(TM) Platform SE 7 is not set to "Never Activate" because that disables the plugin and hides it from websites.
Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Check the grayed out area at the bottom.
''If there's no sign of it on the Add-ons page...''
'''(2) Confirm that Firefox is scanning the registry for plugins'''
Firefox finds the Java plugin from a registry entry. Some users have the scanning turned off for some reason. Here's how to check and fix that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''plugin.scan.plid.all''' is not set to its default value of true, double-click it to toggle it back to the default.
If you changed this setting, exit and restart Firefox to trigger another scan.
If you check the Add-ons page again, success?
''If Firefox is set to scan but still does not find Java and list it on the Add-ons page...''
'''(3) Remove Firefox's plugin registry file'''
Sometimes the pluginreg.dat file becomes corrupted. You can remove it and have Firefox re-scan for plugins. As a side effect, any plugins you have disabled on the Add-ons page probably will be re-enabled, so you'll need to go back to that page one more time.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit (either Firefox button > Exit or File menu > Exit)
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''pluginreg.dat''' to something like pluginreg.old
Restart Firefox. (If you want to restore your previous non-private session, use History > Restore Previous Session.)
When you return to the Add-ons page, is Java finally there?

Can we change the setting of Internet Explorer by Java Script?

Can we change the setting of Internet Explorer by java script?.
For e.g: I need to make the "Initialize and script control not marked as safe" as enabled by using java script code.
Please suggest me is it possible?
Thanks,
Manisha

Thanks everybody.
My requirement is to push data of a grid to Excel by clicking a button. I have written code in javascript. But if the option in Internet Explorer "Initialize and script controls not marked as safe" is disabled , i am not able to push data to Excel.
It is possible only this option is enabled.
So tried to push data by write code: document.appletname.saveAsCSVFile();
But i am not getting data in Excel in correct format.
It is coming as : first row: Column name1, " column name 2",...
2nd row: value1, "value2",.....
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
manisha

In BAPI Explorer Create Webservice in Tools is missing

Hello,
I've exactly the same Problem posted here:

The post was marked as answered but like others mentioned before, this
is still unresolved. Maybe some can help.
Kind regards, Ute.

Hi,
thanks, for this hint. Sorry but I installed fresh and to hack in the tables can't be the right solution. I don't think SAP suggest to access Database direct to enable or to have a feature.
Also, with the other way to access the wizard its only possible to create web services for a single function, but not for a object.
Or how to create for all Business Partners BAPI's / Methods one Service?
Kind regards, Ute.
I've added also a Screenshot of the BAPITOOLS Table, i guess first row is the Wizard. Is there something missing or wrong? At least it's not disabled.

OC4J: marshalling does not recreate the same data structure onthe client

Hi guys,
I am trying to use OC4J as an EJB container and have come across the following problem, which looks like a bug.
I have a value object method that returns an instance of ArrayList with references to other value objects of the same class. The value objects have references to other value objects. When this structure is marshalled across the network, we expect it to be recreated as is but that does not happen and instead objects get duplicated.
Suppose we have 2 value objects: ValueObject1 and ValueObject2. ValueObject1 references ValueObject2 via its private field and the ValueObject2 references ValueObject1. Both value objects are returned by our method in an ArrayList structure. Here is how it will look like (number after @ represents an address in memory):
Object[0] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@1
Object[0].getValueObject[0] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@2
Object[1] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@2
Object[1].getValueObject[0] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@1
We would expect to see the same (except exact addresses) after marshalling. Here is what we get instead:
Object[0] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@1
Object[0].getValueObject[0] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@2
Object[1] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@3
Object[1].getValueObject[0] = com.cramer.test.SomeVO@4
It can be seen that objects get unnecessarily duplicated â“ the instance of the ValueObject1 referenced by the ValueObject2 is not the same now as the instance that is referenced by the ArrayList instance.
This does not only break referential integrity, structure and consistency of the data but dramatically increases the amount of information sent across the network. The problem was discovered when we found that a relatively small but complicated structure that gets serialized into a 142kb file requires about 20Mb of network communication. All this extra info is duplicated object instances.
I have created a small test case to demonstrate the problem and let you reproduce it.
Here is RMITestBean.java:

The parameters you might be interested in playing with are HARDCODE_SERIALISATION and TEST_SIZE defined at the beginning of RMITestApplication.java. The HARDCODE_SERIALISATION is a flag that specifies whether Java serialisation should be used to pass the data across or we should rely on OC4J marshalling. TEST_SIZE defines the size of the object graph and the ArrayList structure. The bigger this size is the more dramatic effect you get from data duplication.
The test case outputs the structure both on the server and on the client and prints out the size of the serialised structure. That gives us sufficient comparison, as both structure and its size should be the same on the client and on the server.
The test case also demonstrates that the problem is specific to OC4J. The standard Java serialisation does not suffer the same flaw. However using the standard serialisation the way I did in the test case code is generally unacceptable as it breaks the transparency benefit and complicates interfaces.
To run the test case:
1) Modify provider URL parameter value on line 15 of the RMITestApplication.java for your environment.
2) Deploy the bean to the server.
4) Run RMITestApplication on a client PC.
5) Compare the outputs on the server and on the client.
I hope someone can reproduce the problem and give their opinion, and possibly point to the solution if there is one at the moment.
Cheers,
Alexei

Hi,
Eugene, wrong end user recovery. Alexey is referring to client desktop end user recovery which is entirely different.
Alexy - As noted in the previous post:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bc67c597-4379-4a8d-a5e0-cd4b26c85d91/dpm-2012-still-requires-put-end-users-into-local-admin-groups-for-the-purpose-of-end-user-data?forum=dataprotectionmanager
Each recovery point has users permisions tied to it, so it's not possible to retroacively give the users permissions. Implement the below and going forward all users can restore their own files.
This is a hands off solution to allow all users that use a machine to be able to restore their own files.
1) Make these two cmd files and save them in c:\temp
2) Using windows scheduler – schedule addperms.cmd to run daily – any new users that log onto the machine will automatically be able to restore their own files.
<addperms.cmd>
Cmd.exe /v /c c:\temp\addreg.cmd
<addreg.cmd>
set users=
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>c:\temp\perms.reg
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\ClientProtection]>>c:\temp\perms.reg
