Releasing locks when using "Navigate Pushbutton" in Web Interface Builder

Hi
I am creating a basic BPS application in Web Interface Builder for manual data entry into a Cube.
I have a requirement for a user to navigate away from the data entry screen to a "Start Screen". To do this, I am using the "Navigate Pushbutton" component.
When the user navigates away from the data entry screen, I want the locks to be released. I have attempted to do this using the "End Command" attribute of the Navigate Pushbutton to "True". According to the Help for this attribute, the following should happen:
" When this property has the value TRUE, the page context will be lost when you press the pushbutton (and all locks are deleted)."
However, when I look at the locks in SM12, I can see that the locks remain, even after the user has clicked on the Navigate Button.
Therefore, it would appear that the "End Command" attribute does not release the locks when it is set to True.
(By the way, I have also tried setting it to false, but the same issue occurs).
Has anyone got any advice on how I can solve this?
(We are running BW 3.1).
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Hi,
You are correct this is standard functionality that should work. Please post the solution proposed by SAP.

Style display problem in Web Interface Builder (OWC)

Hi,
I wanted to create my own styles for my BPS Planning Layouts and then
use it in the Web Interface Builder on Office Web Components.
Step 1 : I saved a Planning Layout in my hard disk.
Step 2 : I created my styles as explained in the SEM BPS help notes (->
Format, Styles ) and saved it in Excel.
Step 3 : I used UPP_MASTER_CHECKIN in tn se38 and then
UPP_LAYOUTS_UPDATE_WITH_MASTER in order to apply the master template in
all my layouts.
Step 4 : I put my styles in all my layouts in the BPS0 (for Lead
Columns, Head Datas and Data Columns).
Step 5 : Once I generated my layouts in the BPS0, the result was what I
expected : the styles were right and at the good place. I checked
publish for the WEB for all the layouts that needed it.
Step 6 : I created a Web Interface with BPS_WB using my layouts as
Office Web Components (Web Excel : true)
Step 7 : I generate my Web Page
And when I look at my layouts the styles disappeared....
However if I modify the Standard Styles (SEM-BPS-headata or SEM-BPS-
sub1 for example)and put them in my layouts then it works !!!! The
modified styles appear in the Web Interface Builder.
I do not understand why it works with the standard styles and not if I
create and put my own. Did I something wrong or missed a step or is a problem with SEM BPS ????
Thank you for your help
J-Michel

Sorry that note say :
Styles. Consequently no changes to the SAP standard styles are taken over to the OWC
I try fix that problem too, go check new design in BW-BPS.

Locking when using a component as an object in the application scope...

I have a component that I am building right now that hold
application settings that are stored in a database table. The
settings are maintained in a structure "variables.settings" within
the component and can only be accessed by get and set methods. I
use the following to create the instance of the object:
<cfset application.settings =
createObject("settings","component").init() />
Now when getting a setting I do not think locking is needed
as its just reading the value and I am not really concerned with a
race condition...
But when using the set method which will update the value of
the setting.... should I be locking that as technically the object
is in a shared variable scope? Or is it safe because its within the
cfc/object?
If locking is needed, would I need to lock when using the set
method? or can I just build the lock into the set method so that
its always there?

To disagree with craigkaminsky, I think you only need to lock
if you are
concerned about race conditions and what could happen during
a 'dirty
read' and|or conflicting writes.
A lot of developers have an old impression of ColdFusion that
one *must*
lock all shared scope variable access to maintain a stable
application.
This dates from the ColdFusion 4.5 days where there where
bugs in
ColdFusion that could cause memory leaks and eventual
application
instability if one did not lock shared scope reads and
writes. This has
long been fixed, but the advice persists.
So now it is only a matter of your data and what would happen
if one
user read an old value while it was in the process of being
updated by
another user. Or could two users be updating the same value
at the same
time and cause conflict. If either of those two statements
are true,
then yes you should use locking as required by your
application.
But if they are both false and it does not matter that user A
might get
the old value microseconds before user B changes it. Or there
is no
concern with user A changing it once and user B changing it
again to
something different moments later without knowing the user A
has already
changed it. Then locking is probably unnecessary.
There can be a cost to over locking shared variable writes
and|or reads.
Every time one creates a lock, one is single threading some
portion of
ones code. Depending on how the locking is done, this single
threading
may only apply to individual users or it may apply to every
single user
on the entire server. Either way, too much of this in the
wrong places
can create a significant bottle necks in ones application if
too many
user requests start piling up waiting for their turn through
the locked
block of code.

When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different

When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different error handler when you try to access a NON .CFM file? Right now I get the standard:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: filename.ext
Is there any setting to override this and direct the message to your own .cfm template? The missing template handler in the CF Admin work only for .cfm files.
Thx

The in-built web server for ColdFusion 8 is JRun. I am on ColdFusion 10, however, and so cannot offer hands-on advice. (CF10 replaced JRun with Tomcat.)
My guess is that you have to modify the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml. Don't forget to create a back-up first!
You may then proceed as follows.
1) In the ColdFusion root (CF_ROOT), create the file myCustomFileNotFound.cfm. Give it some content, like
My custom File Not Found page. Current time: <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>
2) Open the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml in a text editor. Add the following error-handling specification just before the end tag </web-app>:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/myCustomFileNotFound.cfm</location>
</error-page>
Save the file web.xml.
3) Restart ColdFusion. Test by browsing to a URL requesting filename.ext

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
Example:
- Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
- Use the splice tool in PS6.
- Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
OR:
When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

Shutter locks when using the camera in AV mode.

EOS Rebel T3i - Shutter locks when using the camera in AV mode. It actually freezes up when in this mode...no it's not just allowing more light in through the shutter but rather locking in the open position. How can I resolve this? Thank you.

Does it do this in bright sunlight at the lowest f/number?
How do you know the shutter is locked open?
Does it do this on multiple lenses?
How long does the phenomenon last, and how do you stop it?
Do you end up with an image? Is it totally overexposed and motion blurred?
Positive it is not mirror lockup?

Hide passcode lock when using projector

Is it possible to hide the passcode lock when using a projector? I'm a teacher so when my ipad locks and I want to unlock it the whole class can see my passcode unless I unplug it first!
Thanks

Many projectors have a button or option to 'black' the screen, which keeps the projector on, just in some way doesn't show any light, making it easy to show something else on the same screen. See if yours has the option, and if so, press it, put your code in, then press it again.

When using the internet, my web browser window goes blank

It does this quite often:
When using the internet, the web browser screen will go completly blank after 2 secs of loading.
I will see the page, then after two seconds it is gone, and the web browser is completely white.
Once, one page or tab does it, all the others start doing it.
It is very frustrating, and happens quite often.
Does this happen to anyone else, and does anyone know why or how to fix it??

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Unable to capture trace, when user logs in throuigh Web Interface

The Trace shows 'No Records Found', when user logs in through Web Interface of CRM. But there is Trace found, when the same user logs in through logon pad and carries out normal actvities.
sufficient auth. is provided.
Is there any setting in ST01, through which i can get trace , when user logs in through Web Interface
Regards

ST10 traces 1 instance only.
Your CRM web interface could use another instance than your backend. Go to transaction SM21, choose the appropriate server and run ST10 again.
Succes!

Variables in BPS populating the template built using web interface builder

Hi All,
I have a issue :
I created some variables in bps0 (under a planning area) based on Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year/Period, Posting Period, Cal. Yr /Quarter and Version.
Then I created a template using the web interface builder .
The end user goes and puts the varaibels in the SEM template and that will run the BW queries in BW (ABAP code has been written to popluate the values entered in SEM tempalte in to BW variable screen).
Now the problem is it works well for all values other than for #(not assigned).
What should be done to make it work even for #?
We do not have # as the value in master data for all the above info objects. We have # only for 0version and for the rest I can't even see the master data as it says " master data is not maintained" .
when I come back and look in bps0 then I see that the values entered in the SEM template are getting accumulated in selection conditionds in bps0 (when we click on the variable then when we see the selection conditions there it is getting accumulated)
Can anyone please suggest a solution to make the # (not assigned) work and to clear the selection conditions table after refresh of the SEM template?
Thanks
Sri

Hi
You should create a BEX Web Query and integrate it in the upper level of WEB Layout.

Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface?

Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface.
It is happening on my late 2013 IMAC, and also on my old 2011 Macbook pro.

Same thing here with Mavericks and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. Very easy to reproduce, Apple. Set your audio interface for the external device, try to record Photo Booth video. It will crash. Every. Single. Time. Always.

DATA SAVED UNLESS ERROR MESSAGE IN WEB INTERFACE BUILDER

Dear collegue,
IN SEM-BPS THERE is a fox that executes a control on the data inserted
in the layout. In planning folder when the data are not corrected there
is a message that lock the date and data cannot be saved.
In web interface builder there is the message (with icon "STOP") but the
wrong data are saved however. This is a serious problem.
regards,
DG

Dear DG,
when using planning folders there is the feature to run a function upon leaving a layout and upon save. In order to forbid saving of data in case of error the function has to run upon save - and that feature is not available in WEB based planning.
You can add it by implementing the how to paper "How to run planning sequences on save and other events". You can find it in the service market place http://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700004491692004E/HowToRunPlFuncOnEvent.pdf.
This should solve your problem.

The URL in the web interface builder

Hi
In the web interface builder in BPS there are several components.
When I click on them one by one I can see the planning functions and other details.
There is a URL present in the web interface builder which corresponds to upload flat file data.
How can we trace what are the planning functions used for this link.
If we go to se80 how can we find whats the applicable BSP page for this particular URL which corresponds to a planning function.
Please advise.
Many thanks.

Hi,
From URL you can't find the details of planning objects. BUt you can find the BSP application that gets executed from that link and in that BPS application you can see the planning objects that are used in various events to upload the file data.

Web Interface Builder & Variable???

Hi,
Can someone help me to resolve this two issues.
I try to create variables by using web interface builder.
1)The variable- company code-US100, CA100 are only ones I use in the selection of my planning leveL. However, it shows all possible entries for the variable-company code when I added the variable-company code in the web interface builder.
2)Another variable-forecast year, I created it in the planning area (using 'fiscl year') and try to add this variable in the web interface builder and got an error message-the selection to 0fisclyear is not 'restricted'.
Advices are appreciated.
J.

1) Set "Planning level" property of selector for you variable in web interface builder
2) Restrict fiscal year
