Returning a BLOB via BPM.

I have a situation where using an attachment will not work - because of the sensitivity of the item being stored. It has to be made available to a subset of participants within the process instance.
I can use ScreenFlow mapped to a JSP to upload the file and store the content in a BLOB column where I can control who sees and who doesn't.
What I'm struggling with is finding a method where the user can download the file that was stored in the BLOB through BPM. I really don't want (and probably can't) setup a server to access the database directly in order to download documents.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to map a screenflow that will return the document and force the browser to pop the save as/open dialog? And how to map the data into that screenflow?

Arian,
You should replace JSP Interactive activity in your screenflow with another Interactive activity with following configuration:
Implementation Type: Component
Use Instance Variable: Checked (Declare a ClientFile object and use it as instance variable, say clientFileVar)
Component Method: uploadTo (in fromBinary : Binary, in message : String) : String
Argument Mapping
Input Arguments
fromBinary : Map your binary
fullName : downloadLocationPath
interactive : true
message : Any message you want to display
Output Arguments
downloadedFileName : return
"downloadedFileName" is a String type variable.

Datas return from Blob data type in Sqlite

i am using sqlitejdbc-v053.jar through get SQLITE BLOB data type data. But i cannot data return from Blob type.
Error will be display from :
not implemented by SQLite JDBC driver
and point out error line
blob = rs.getBlob("NGP_REPDATA");
{try {
               Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");

          }}any sample or solution pls give
sqlite with BLOB sample there pls give link

There explicitly tells you that the JDBC driver that you are using will not do the method that you are calling.
Thus you cannot use that method.
There is another way to extract blobs which involves using a stream. You can search for that.
If your blobs are actually short and only have character data then you might be able to use getString() as well.

How to return new blob object?

Hi,
I am trying to find documentation on how to return a custom abstract data type (ADT) using the CREATE TYPE... and BLOB interface.
How can I return a new object type defined inside a blob. Can I return a blob (without initializing the lob locator first)?
Please advise.

Long story but my iphone 4g has been returned to me via e bay with an apparent unrestore fault of 1015. I think it has been jailbroken etc.,Any suggestions, PLEASE. Maggie

Hello
Long story BUT had my iphone 4g returned to me via Ebay with an apparently unrestoreable error 1015. I think it has been jailbroken etc., hence it's return. I tried to tell ebay and paypal about this but they were not interested. I rather think they will have to face this problem again and again as it becomes more frequent from bad buyers.
Anyway, is there anything out there yet which will restore it's hardware?
Many thanks
Maggie

I understand your frustration, but disagree. It's really not Apple's problem. If you buy a car and install a turbocharger on it that causes damage to the engine, the manufacturer won't honor any warranty or help you with your problems. A mechanic will be more than happy to take your money to try and fix it, but it's not the manufacturer's problem. The manufacturer will be happy to sell you another car.
If you attempt to jailbreak or hack the phone yourself, you have no one but yourself to blame. If you hand your phone over to an untrusted party and they do something to it, again, the problem is yours, not Apple's.
I assume the "resale value" you quoted is a subsidized price from BT. It does NOT reflect the cost of the phone.
In the U.S. a subsidized iPhone through AT&T or Verizon is $199 (16GB) or $299 (32GB). An out of warranty replacement is $199 regardless of capacity. Full retail (unsubsidized) price is $649 (16GB) or $749 (32GB). I'd say the price you were quoted to replace your phone was quite reasonable.

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT always returning empty BLOB

Dear community,
I have a huge problem when using the function APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT in a job or database procedure.
The following code runs perfectly when I integrate it in the APEX application directly e.g. using a button to execute it (of course I use an anonymous PL/SQL block in APEX itself). But when I run the same code as a procedure or job in the APEX database itself I always receive a mail with an empty PDF:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APEX_DRUG_SAFETY.CALL_MAIL
is
l_id number;
l_document BLOB;
BEGIN
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id;
l_document := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT
+(+
p_application_id=>'105',
p_report_query_name=>'TestReport',
p_report_layout_type=>'pdf',
p_document_format=>'pdf'
+);+
l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND
+(+
p_to        => '[email protected]',
p_from      => '[email protected]',
p_subj      => 'sending PDF via print API',
p_body      => 'Please review the attachment.',
p_body_html => 'Please review the attachment.'
+);+
APEX_MAIL.ADD_ATTACHMENT
+(+
p_mail_id    => l_id,
p_attachment => l_document,
p_filename   => 'mydocument.pdf',
p_mime_type => 'application/pdf'
+);+
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'DESMTP.TEST.COM',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => '25');
end;
The problem is that the function APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT always returns an empty BLOB when executed outside of the APEX application. I found this issue in several other posts in this forum but I did not find a solution.
The mail transmission itself works perfectly. Also with an attachment if e.g. I use another BLOB already stored in the database for testing purposes. So it is not the mail transmission that causes the problem but the empty variable l_document that is still empty.
Thanks in advance for the help.

No data return from BI7 via MDX drvier in Crystal report

I have:
Windows 2000 SP4
SAP BI7 patch level 16
SAP GUI 710 patch level 7 (BW3.5 addon patch 3, BI 710 patch 5)
Crystal report XI R2 SP4
SAP_Integration_Kit_XI R2-SP4
and the BW tranports already imported in BI7.
I can create a report over a Bex query in Crystal report using BW Query driver and retirved datafrom BI7
Then I tried to create a report over the same Bex query in Crystal report using MDX driver, I got no data return from BI7.
So I used the RSRTRACE transaction to trace the log when refreshing data in Crystal report, and then go to debug the call 10- GET_CELL_DATA and I have data from the MDX excution in BI7.
So I think Crystal report can pass the MDX query to BI7 and BI7 can excute it without any problem, the issue is no data return to Crystal report.
Could anyone help please?
Thanks.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\SAP]
"TraceDir"="C :\\Crystal Report\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\SAP\BW MDX Query Driver]
"Trace"="Yes"
"ExcludeSummaries"="Yes"
Above are the right code in Reg and I have tried "C:\" as well, but still no trace file created.
I was create the CR MDX report via SAP tool bar (and I create 2 reports base on the same Bex query with MDX and BW query just to compare, that one via BW query return data from BW)
Thanks a lot.

User getting locked while sending message sync via BPM. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a sync - sync scenario where I am sending data synchronously from webservice to a sync RFC FM. I am using BPM and in BPM I have three steps
1. Receive step - Opens Sync-Async Bridge
2. Sync Send step
3. Send step - Closes SYnc-Async bridge.
This BPM solution is same as that give in the blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1403 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
When I test this scenario I am getting

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing any settings in SOAP sender communication channel?
Please help me in resolving this problem.

Hi,
Few months ago we had also problems with "locked user" in XI, in our case XIAPPLUSER was sometimes (b)locked.
Perhaps note:
721548 Changing the passwords of the XI 3.0 service users
will help you.
We removed and entered the service users again, with the password in CAPITALS and language blank.
After that our problem was solved, I hope yours too.

Return to vendor via delivery customer master

Hi Gurus,
I am doing the return delivery to vendor(122) via delivery.
Now when I am creating the vendor and selceting Returns vendor and shipping
condition sytem (and account group for customer) is creating a customer master in
the background.
Now when I am seeing the customer master XD03 it is created with general data and
Sales Org data.no comapany code data is created.
And I can find that this customer is created for
Sales Org 1000
Dist. Chn 10/12/00
Now my question is why only this 3 combination is created and how it is determined
or where we maintain this in customization.
Thanking you

Hi,
Thanks for your valuable input.
But I find that My POrg 1000 is assigned to 10 plants ( other than my plant 1000)) in T024w
and at the customizing -> Assignment Sales Organization/Distribution Channel - Plant (table TVKWZ)
and My plant 1000 is assigned to at least 50 combination of S.org and D.ch (TVKWZ)
Just curious why out of so many combination system is creating only 3
Thanks in advance

Return to vendor via delivery, customer number for each vendor?

Hi
We wish to use return materials to Vendor via delivery process
addition to required configuration, we need to maintain Customer number in Vendor master
In out plant we have more than 500 Vendor masters, do we need to create customer number for each vendor? or can we create a generic customer ????
Business has a concern on creating customer for each vendor since number is huge, Sales guys may get confused with these numbers
Please suggest a way out
Thanks

Thanks Jurgen for the reply
We have Vendor Work flow setup in the system. Which means when ever vendor master is changed [Return indicator ticked] workflow kicks off which means it goes for approvals. This is why we dont want to go for tick as and when needed. When ever there is a return, return to vendor must be ticked, it will go for approval etc so it slows the process
we are thinking if we can achieve through data load before SAP GO-Live so that users able to return without any delay
NOTE 447070 says 'the automatic creation of the required customer data is not supported in the data transfer'
this is related to automatic customer create isnt it
i was thinking as below
--> Create Ship-to's for all vendors
--> Load vendors via LSMW [along with return to vendor ticked and customer number(created above)]
Tested in SAP
created ship-to
Created vendor with above customer number
Do you see any issue?
Thanks

Apex_util.get_print_document returns empty blob

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a xsl-fo template into PDF. I have the following code:
begin
declare
v_retval blob;
v_data blob;
v_xls clob;
v_xml_dat clob;
begin
select page_template
into v_xls
from flows_030100.wwv_flow_report_layouts
where flow_id =101
and report_layout_name = 'vv';
v_xml_dat := to_clob('<data><row><dat1>fff</dat1></row></data>');
v_data := wwv_flow_utilities.clob_to_blob(v_xml_dat);
v_retval := apex_util.get_print_document (v_data,v_xls,'xsl-fo','pdf')
htp.p(dbms_lob.getlength(v_retval));
end;
end;
This returns 0 instead of some PDF document. I guess there is something wrong with my input, probably the XML data. Any thoughts?

Anyone?

Retrieving BLOBs via stored procedure

Hi all,
I'm trying to retrieve bigger blobs (>1 MB) from a database using a stored procedure, but it didn't work. I can't figure out were the problem is.
My stored prcedure looks like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_blobs (blob_id IN NUMBER, v_enterid out NUMBER, v_enterdate_s out VARCHAR2, v_name out VARCHAR2, BUFFER_CHARS out LONG, v_blob_size out NUMBER) IS
v_enterdate DATE;
v_content BLOB;
BUFFER LONG RAW;
AMOUNT BINARY_INTEGER := 100;
POS INTEGER := 1;
COUNTER INTEGER :=0;
BEGIN
SELECT EntryID,EnterDate,Name,Content
INTO v_enterid,v_enterdate,v_name,v_content
FROM test_blob WHERE EntryID=blob_id;
v_enterdate_s := to_char(v_enterdate,'dd.mm.yyyy');
v_blob_size := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(v_content);
AMOUNT := cast(v_blob_size as BINARY_INTEGER);
DBMS_LOB.READ (v_content, AMOUNT, POS, BUFFER);
BUFFER_CHARS := 'aaaaa';
CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(BUFFER);
BUFFER2 := BUFFER2 || BUFFER_CHARS;
RETURN;
END;
I think there are several mistakes in this code, as I tried and tried many days.
When I execute the code using a sql script, it works (the output is just removed for testing), but if I try it with an PHP script I get the following error:
Warning: Ora_Exec failed (ORA-21560: argument 2 is null, invalid, or out of range ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 640 ORA-06512: at "JAN.GET_BLOBS", line 21 ORA-06512: at line 1 -- while processing OCI function OEXEC/OEXN) in d:\eclipse\crf tracker\modules\manage\new.inc.php on line 60
The PHP routine looks like:
$v_index_in = 1;
$cursor = ora_open($conn);
$query = "BEGIN GET_BLOBS(:v_index_in,:v_index,:v_enterdate,:v_name,:v_content,:v_size); END;";
$stmt = ora_parse($cursor,$query);
ora_bind ($cursor, "v_index_in", ":v_index_in", 10,1);
ora_bind ($cursor, "v_index", ":v_index", 10,2);
ora_bind ($cursor, "v_enterdate", ":v_enterdate", 20,2);
ora_bind ($cursor, "v_name", ":v_name", 100,2);
ora_bind ($cursor, "v_size", ":v_size", 10000, 2);
ora_bind ($cursor, "v_content", ":v_content",$v_size,2);
$v_index = '';
$v_enterdate = '';
$v_name = '';
$v_content = '';
$v_size = '';
ora_exec($cursor,$stmt);
Could please anybody helps me with that problem. I really see no chance to solve it on my own, because I'm just starting to work with Oracle, but I have to finish this in two weeks.
It doesn't matter, if the output of the content will be a blob or whatever else, because the processing in PHP will not be a big problem.
Thanks a lot in advance,
best regards,
Jan.

Hi
You can use ref cursor to return the results from your stored procedure. Here is how you define .
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE trial AS
TYPE m_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
END trial;
Create or replace procedure example ( var1 out trial.m_refCur, var2 out trial.m_refCur)
as
open var1 for select * from emp;
open var2 for select * from dept;
end;
You can call this stored procedure in Java using Callable Statement. I you are using C++ or VB you can use OLEDB or
ADO API's to call same stored procedure.
Hope this helps

Return delivery with via delivery indicator

I am trying to post return delivery through MIGO transaction, with selecting ' via delivery' indicator. I am getting an error - data for creating a delivery is incomplete (Customer).
I am selecting this indicator first time so that I can get delivery number which I can print later.
How can I resolve this error ?

Before creating return delivery via MIGO..Please check the following master data..
1) Check the material is having Sales view
2) Check you linked vendor master to the customer...
3) Also check whether you flagged Returns vendor in the purchasing view of the vendor master record..
Please check these master data settings if any one of above things are missing system would not allow you to process the return delivery..
I hope it will resolve your issues. If it helps award me the points..

ORA-24810 on writing blob via Pro*C

I'm using Oracle Pro*C with an Oracle 9.2 RDBMS.
I am trying to store a blob from a file using Pro*C. If the file is small enough that I can read/write the entire file in a single operation, it blow write works okay. However, I would like to be able to handle a blob of any size, up to 4MB. Unless, I use a 4MB io buffer, this requires partial file read / blob writes. In the program before, the initial write (first) works, but subsequent writes (next) fail with the 24810 attempting to write more data than indicated error.
