Rfc functions with export field type exid h

Hi, in WAS700 I encountered rfc functions with export fields of the type exid h
I found in the rfccal.c the following section:
        if (*exid == 'h') continue;
               I don't know how handle type 'h' (internal table)
               with RFC API. Therefore ignore it.
Example function : SWNC_GET_WORKLOAD_STATISTIC
In the rfcsdk docs I can't find a thing how you should handle such an export field.
Any solution for this ?

hi hans,
sorry i shouldn't have answered your question. to me RFC is tooo strange. I had a quick look at the FM, searched DDIC for something like exid and had a look at the WSDL of the webservice WSDL of that FM. nothing seemed very complicated to me in terms of a webservice call to it (apart from the semantically...uhm...questionable interface; MEM_OBJS_FR_YOUN anybody?) but I really have no idea of the inner workings of RFC.
sorry again. hope you get it solved here.

How to use INVOKE function with INT parameter types

Can you tell me how to use invoke function with int parameter type ?

Pass the int as an Integer.

External Java Function with a Result Type

Dear all,
I have created a workflow process which use a Function Activity of type "External Java" without a result type and it works fine, but i have created another with the result type of boolean (WFSTD_BOOLEAN) and it doesn't work properly. I will explain what is happening.
I start a process and it stops in that function activity, then the oracle Function Activity Agent executes the class associated to that function and it works fine. Then i review the workflow process and check that the status of the activity is "Deferred". I execute the wf_engine.background process, and then the status of the activity is "Complete" but the result field is blank, thus the process is stopped and did not go through the "True" branch of the process. I have follow the Oracle Workflow and Java Technical White Paper to build the class associated to the function activity, and i return true in the execute method and don't put anything in the errorStack variable.
The documentation says:
resultOut If a result type is specified in the Activities properties page for the activity in the Oracle Workflow Builder, this parameter represents the expected result that is returned when the procedure completes.
Note: Unlike the resultout for a PL/SQL procedure called by a function activity, the resultOut for a Java procedure does not include a status code. In the Java API, only the result type value is required. The status of the activity will be set automatically by the Workflow Engine depending on whether there is a value in the errorStack variable.
am I doing something wrong? could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Allison,
I've found the solution to the problem. If i set the variable resultOut to "T" or "F" before finnishing the execute method it works.
I think that you have to set the variable resultOut with the internal value of the lookup type that you are using as the result type of the function activity.
Bye!

RFC function module exporting

Hi..
when I am trying to export some paramters and tables in RFC function module, i m getting error as well as a warning message stating performance will reduce.
So please help me to solve the issue.
Thanks
Vimalraj

You are getting this message because you are exporting tables 'by value'. Since this will cause the complete data in that internal table to be copied into a new memory area this might impact the performance of that function in case the table has a lot of data in it.
However - for an RFC you can only define parameters to be called by value, hence this is not an error in your case. It just lets you know that the performance will suffer when you have lots of data in your internal table compared to a function that would pass the data by reference - but you don't have that option for an RFC anyway.
Hope that helps,
Michael

XML Problem: RFC Function with XSTRING or raw table (4.6C)

hello,
I have a serialized XML-Document, i.e. a xstring or a raw table. Now I want to write a RFC Function Module that sends/receives this data. I'm running on 4.6C. Is this possible under 4.6C?
I've managed to write a Function module with appropriate parameters (XML in a raw table) that works fine, but I can't declare it as a <b>remote</b> function module. Is there a standard method of importing binary XML Data via RFC in 4.6C?
Regards,
Alexander Schulz

Can you please share the answer?

Same functions with different return types in C++

Normally the following two functions would be considered the same:
int getdata ( char *s, int i )
long getdata ( char *s, int i )
Every other compiler we use would resolve both of these to the same function. In fact, it is not valid C++ code otherwise.
We include some 3rd party source in our build which sometimes messes with our typedefs causing this to happen. We have accounted for all of the function input types but never had a problem with the return types. I just installed Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection and it is generating two symbols in our libraries every time this occurs.
Is there a compiler flag I can use to stop it from doing this? I've got over 100 unresolved symbols and I'd rather not go and fix all of them if there is an easier way.

Normally the following two functions would be
considered the same:
int getdata ( char *s, int i )
long getdata ( char *s, int i )Not at all. Types int and long are different types, even if they are implemented the same way.
Reference: C++ Standard, section 3.9.1 paragraph 10.
For example, you can define two functions
void foo(int);
void foo(long);
and they are distinct functions. The function that gets called depends on function overload resolution at the point of the call.
Overloaded functions must differ in the number or the type of at least one parameter. They cannot differ only in the return type. A program that declares or defines two functions that differ only in their return types is invalid and has undefined behavior. Reference: C++ Standard section 13.1, paragraph 2.
The usual way to implement overloaded functions is to encode the scope and the parameter types, and maybe the return type, and attach the encoding to the function name. This technique is known as "name mangling". The compiler generates the same mangled name for the declaration and definition of a given function, and different mangled names for different functions. The linker matches up the mangled names, and can tell you when no definition matches a reference.
Some compilers choose not to include the return type in the mangled name of a function. In that case, the declaration
int foo(char*);
will match the definition
long foo(char*) { ... }
But it will also match the definitions
myClass foo(char*) { ... }
double foo(char*) { ... }
You are unlikely to get good results from such a mismatch. For that reason, and because a pointer-to-function must encode the function return type, Sun C++ always encodes the function return type in the mangled name. (That is, we simplify things by not using different encodings for the same function type.)
If you built your code for a 64-bit platform, it would presumably link using your other compilers, but would fail in mysterious ways at run time. With the Sun compiler, you can't get into that mess.
To make your program valid, you will have to ensure your function declarations match their definitions.

Error while calling XQuery Function with xs:date type as Argument

Hi,
I have follwing function in my DataService .
declare function tns:getXXXDetail($effectiveDate as xs:date,
$cancelDate as xs:date) as element(ns26:XXXAccount)* {
          implCode
declare function tns:testGetXXXDetail($searchCriteria as element(ns15:locateMemberXXXDetail))
               as element(ns26:XXXAccount)* {
for $Account in tns:getXXXDetail($searchCriteria/ns16:accountTypeDates/ns18:effectiveDate,
     $searchCriteria/ns16:accountTypeDates/ns18:cancelDate)
return $Account
I am trying to test the getXXXDetail() function from testGetXXXDetail .
The searchCriteria is a complex type with date elements effectiveDate and cancelDate, both are optional
When i test with effectiveDate,cancelDate elements present in $searchCriteria its working fine.
When i remove these dates element i am getting follwing error
"expected exactly one item, got 0 items" error
Any Clue ?

When i remove these dates element i am getting follwing error"expected exactly one item, got 0 items" error
Sounds like your schema for these items indicates minOccurs="1" (or relies on that as the default).
Edit the schema and change the definitions to be...
<xs:element name="effectiveDate" minOccurs="0" ... />

Form with six field types. Firefox sends only the first type. Safari sends all.

I use Ancestry.com. The 'advanced search' form has six data types - name, location, family member, etc, which are 'and'ed together. Starting about two weeks ago, the search function returned data from only the first data type, that is, if name and location are filled in, only name is returned; if location and family member are filled in, only location is returned. I am using a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. Firefox is version 33. Safari works without a problem but I prefer Firefox.

How to use MAX() function with date field

Hi Frzz,
I have created a Graphical calculation view in which i have multiple records for each employee with different dates. But my requirement is to take the records which have maximum date.
I have converted the date into Integer and applied the MAX() function. But still am getting multiple records.
Is there is any other way we can achieve this requirement in Graphical Calculation view?? Your suggestion will really help me.
Thank you.
Krishna.

Hmm... what have you tried out so far?
Look, I took the effort and created a little example, just for you
Assume we have a table that contains the logon dates of users.
Every line contains the logon date and some info on the user.
Very much like a not-normalized log file could look like.
Now, the output we want is: one line per user with the most current logon time.
Not too difficult:
1. Have a aggregation node that gives you the distinct user details - one line for every user:
2. Have another aggregation node that gives you the last (MAX) logon date per user:
Finally you do a 1:1 join on the USER_ID and map the result to the output.
Easy as pie

Getting Return values from RFC function call with visual basic

Hi,
I am creating a sample app to connect to a SAP system which call its RFC functions created with ABAP. It was known that the function will return more than 1 return values.
   SAP Function name ==> "ZFMTP_RFC_GET_RESULT"
        Export parameters (to SAP):
                - Student Name [char 10]         ==> "STUNAME"
                - Student ID         [char 20]        ==> "STUID"
       Return values (From SAP):
                - Results [char 10]        ==> "RESULT"
                - Remarks [char 200]        ==> "REMARKS"
i have managed to get sample codes for connecting and call a RFC function with vb but they only get a return value. How do i retrieve multiple return values like the above function "RESULT" and "REMARKS"?
Here's my vb code to accessing the function
        Dim R3 As Object
        Dim FBFunc As Object
        Dim returnFunc As Boolean
        Dim connected As Boolean
        R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
        R3.Connection.Client = "000"
        R3.Connection.User = "BCUSER"
        R3.Connection.Password = "minisap"
        R3.Connection.Language = "DE"
        R3.Connection.System = "dtsystem"
        R3.Connection.Applicationserver = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
        connected = R3.Connection.Logon(0, True)
        If connected <> True Then
            MsgBox("Unable to connect to SAP")
        End If
        FBFunc = R3.add("ZFMTP_RFC_GET_RESULT")
        FBFunc.exports("STUNAME") = "Jonny"
        FBFunc.exports("STUID") = "12345"
        returnFunc = FBFunc.Call() <<== How do i get the return value? or RESULT and REMARKS of the RFC Function?
thanks alot.

RFC function is called with null paremeters on SAP side

I used the new version of .Net Connector 2.0.1.
I created a simple client called RFC function with one table parameter and simple RFC function inserts record to simple table on SAP side.
If I call this RFC function from SAP side the record is inserted to my table with correct value.
If I call this RFC function from NET side the record is inserted with null value.
What's wrong ?
Could anybody help me ?
Code :
SAP side
FUNCTION ZRVFRFCNV.
*" TABLES
*" ITDATA STRUCTURE ZRVNAMEVALUE
insert into ZRVNAMEVALUE values ITDATA.
ENDFUNCTION.
Net side
ZRVNAMEVALUE nam_val2 = new ZRVNAMEVALUE();
nam_val2.Name = "100";
nam_val2.Value = "NORD";
ZRVNAMEVALUETable tblTest = new ZRVNAMEVALUETable();
tblTest.Add(nam_val2);
// for testing : dataGrid show correct values
dataGrid1.SetDataBinding(tblTest, "");
this.sapProxy11.Zrvfrfcnv(ref tblTest);

The problem was in insert statement. I changed insert to modify on SAP side and solved it.

Create survey/poll with text fields

I want to create a survey in a meeting with text field type answers. How would I do this? I am using the hosted version of Connect and saw some reference to a Presenter add-in for PowerPoint, but don't seem have that. We would like to have fields such as:
Participant information (name, contact information
Suggested future topics
What should I use to do this since the Poll Pod obnly allows for multiple choice or multiple answer options and not key-in fields?
Karl

Adobe Presenter 7 is a product sold separately from Adobe Connect. Adobe Presenter can be purchased from many resellers. It is a plug-in for MS Powerpoint and has the ability to upload many times of quizzes and polls in lots of types of formats. You can download a 30 day trial from here:

Adobe Presenter is only available for the Windows platform. MS Powerpoint for Mac does not allow third-party plug-ins like Presenter.

RFC function call from VB Script

I have an RFC enabled function that I need to call from VBScript. I was working through this issue as a BAPI call but after research and RFC not initialized error messages over and over I am coming to think that the issue is not how I was doing it but what I was trying to do with different objects.
I think the issue is that I was trying to call a RFC function with BAPI methods, I didnt understand that there was I difference but now I do. I don't know how to initialize the RFC on the host system and unsure if I even have all of the components on the host system to make these function calls.
The goal here is to call a function that passes 3 paramters and modifies a user object in SAP.

Hello John,
are you using DCOM Connector? I have a VBScript working correctly, using DCOM Connector, and consuming a Z function module defined as RFC.
What's the error message you're getting?
Regards
Michael
