Scripting SAP XMII (Various Applets : Methods)

Hi All,
Am new to SAP XMII , i have just started to design Query / Display Template and create some Transactions.
Now after calling it into Display template for example : i Grid / Graph
How i need to get the methods in scripts
getBrowserObject.getSelectedItem();
How each Display has it's methods ??
am confused , is it XMII standards ??
Kindly give a place where i can find relevant methods for using those applets
rgds

How to get the applet method value in javascript variable

Hi,
I have an applet which reading the text file content, text file has valued either ON or OFF
import java.applet.*;
import java.io.*;
public class A extends Applet
public String line="";
public void init( )
String strPath ="D:/WAS_Status.txt";
try
                         BufferedReader objReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strPath));
                         line = objReader.readLine();
}catch( IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
                    System.out.println("val :"+line);
          public boolean returnFileValue()
               if("ON".equals(line))
                    return true;
               else
                    return false;
In html file :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var line='';
function loadAppContent()
     line=document.TestApplet.returnFileValue();
     alert("val : "+line);
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="loadAppContent()">
<APPLET CODE="A.class" NAME="TestApplet" >
</APPLET >
</BODY>
</HTML>
I am calling the applet method. But I am not able to get value either as true or false.
line=document.TestApplet.returnFileValue();
Getting error as object doesnt support this property.
I tried, line=document.TestApplet.line;
Gets val as undefined.
The line variable of Applet will return either ON or OFF value.
Pls suggest where it has gone wrong or is there any other way?

Yes it is a reserved word to warn that this applet , lets say send messages to the HTML page that call it.
You will find the instruction how to do that at sun site.
Yes you have to implement an interface inside the applet (code)
and send a message to HTML with the name and parameters of
the Javascript you want to call!
But for all this to work you have to put in your project two new classes.
And after that call some methods that does the job you want.
Look for Java to JavaScript Comunication to get what you want!.
check this per exemple!

Problem calling applet method using IE

I've searched through the forum and can't seem to find anything that can help me fix this. I'm trying to call an applet's method using Javascript. This is working fine under Netscape, but not IE. Everything I've read seems to indicate that I'm doing this right, but I'm getting "Object doesn't support this property or method" when I try to call the applet method from IE.
In this example method, I'm trying to call the applet's countChars method, which should return the length of the string you pass into it. Works under Netscape 6.2, but not IE 6.0
Here's my applet code:
import java.lang.String;
public class test extends java.applet.Applet {
public static int countChars(String s) {
return s.length();
And my HTML
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="Javascript">
function refreshApplet()
/*     i = document.forms.myForm.TestApplet.countChars();
     document.forms.myForm.output.value=i; */
     document.forms.myForm.output.value=document.applets["TestApplet"].countChars(document.forms.myForm.input.value);
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<APPLET CODE = "test.class" WIDTH = 400 HEIGHT = 400 ALIGN = middle NAME = "TestApplet" scriptable="true">
</APPLET>
<br>
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="input">
<input type="button" value="click me" onClick="refreshApplet();">
<hr>
<input type="text" name="output">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Thanks in advance!

I have very similar problem, my applet works OK using Netscape (6.2 and 7.0), but with IE 6.0 It only works with windows XP;
The reported error is "Object doesn't support this property or method"
Can someone please help me to solve this problem.
Cheers

This is my code:
- I call the applet using javaScript and input the method setData with two strings.
function graphic()
     var dataZenith;
     var dataManual;
     initVariables();
     dataZenith = graphicZENith(); //Call other Javascript functions
     dataManual = graphicManual(); //Call other Javascript functions
     document.AppletOne.setData(dataZenith,dataManual);
I run the applet with this HTML code:
<applet NAME="AppletOne" code="Appl.class" width="450" height="450"
MAYSCRIPT></applet>
//Applet code/////////////

Problem accessing applet methods since 1.4.2_06

Hello,
I'm working with ie 6.0
I'm accessing applet methods from javascript
My applets were working fine until I installed the JRE 1.4.2_06 (I tested them with JRE 1.4.2_05 and it worked)
Now, when I call an applet method from javascript, I have a javascript exception, as if the applet is not loaded, but I think it is : I can see it in the traces in the java console !
I didn't modify the code, just the JRE.
It doesn't work with jre 1.5 too
Here a simple sample code that doesn't work with JRE 1.4.2_06 :
APPLET :
import java.applet.Applet;
public class Test extends Applet
     public void test() {
          System.err.println("test");
HTML :
<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
     function myTest() {
          document.myform.test.test();
</script>
<form name="myform">
<OBJECT NAME="test" WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=120 CLASSID="CLSID:8AD9C840-044E-11d1-B3E9-00805F499D93">
<PARAM NAME="code" value="Test.class">
<PARAM NAME="scripting" value="true">
</OBJECT>
     <input type="button" value="test !!" onclick="myTest()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
If you have any suggestion ...
Thanks

It should work, what if you try the following:
html file:
<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
function myTest() {
try{
     document.myform.test.test();
}catch(e){
     alert(e.description);
function myTest1() {
try{
     document.getElementById("test").test();
}catch(e){
     alert(e.description);
</script>
<form name="myform">
<OBJECT NAME="test" id="test" WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=120 CLASSID="CLSID:8AD9C840-044E-11d1-B3E9-00805F499D93">
<PARAM NAME="code" value="Test.class">
<PARAM NAME="scripting" value="true">
</OBJECT>
<input type="button" value="test !!" onclick="myTest()"><br>
<input type="button" value="test with getelementbyID!!" onclick="myTest1()"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>
applet:
import java.applet.Applet;
public class Test extends Applet{
public void test() {
     System.err.println("test");
public void init(){
     System.out.println("this is init");
When you open the page it should say "this is init" in the java console
if the test button doesn't work try the getElementById way.

Java.lang.StackOverflowError in SAP xMII 11.5

Hi All,
I am using SAP xMII 11.5 and Java 1.4. I am trying to display a large iGrid using irpt file. But it is not displaying the grid. I checked log in servletExec folder,it have java.lang.StackOverflowError. How can i solve this issued? Can it be resolved by setting -Xms parameter in Java Run-time environment in server(I am using Windows 2003 Server)? Or should I need to set it in any conf file or pref file inside servletExec folder? Please advice. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Subin

Hi Thomas,
MII display applets are nothing else than standard applets. They are executed in the client VM mostly provided by the JavaPlugin in the browser. To give the applets more RAM use the -Xmx parameter and set it in the command line for the JavaPlugin VM. In Windows this can be found in systemcontrol->Java. 64M ist standard. Give it 250M for testing.
Oh, sorry. Just saw that you found the exception in the server log. Same holds for the server. So try to increase RAM for server VM with -Xmx. Server VM can easily be set to 1GB (but not more than about 1.5G in a 32 bit system).
Do you have the stack trace for this StackOverflow? Normally this points to endless recursion.
Good luck,
Matthias

Scripting in xMII

hi,
Any one tell me about scripting in xMII.
i have plast database with two tables like order(columns-order level,orderid,name of the order),product(productlevel,orderid,defactives).please tell me how i would be use this tables at Scripting

Hi Murali,
I do not know what a plast database is but here is the general knowledge about scripting in xMII.
The source or destination datasource should first be defined as datasource in xMII. This data source can then be accessed using the query templates(QT) and this data can be visualised in the front end using various types of display template(DT). Any complex query can be created in the QT. But in order to keep it simpler, it is recommended that you use business logic transaction to create complex queries.
The scripting(javascripting or VB scripting) can be used in order to change the parameters of the query and display template in runtime. All the properties of QT and DT have corresponding parameters and these parameters can be set at runtime using scripting.
Is this what you were expecting in aswer?
regards
Deepak

Call Applet method from JavaScript, tiny test program works... SOMETIMES!?

I have an embedded Applet in a web page, and I am trying to directly call a method in that Applet from the same page, using JavaScript.
Here is the complete Applet:
import java.applet.Applet;
public class Test extends Applet {
public String test() {
return "test() method return value";
}Here is the complete web page:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Applet Invocation test</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<APPLET CODE="Test" WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=10 NAME="test"></APPLET>
<HR>
<SCRIPT>
document.write( "JavaScript is working<br>" );
document.write( document.test.test() );
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>Is there anything wrong with this? Because it works about 15% of the time, displaying an <HR>, "JavaScript is working", and then "test() method return value" on the next line.
The other 85% of the time, it just gets to "JavaScript is working", then I get a JavaScript error "Object does not support this property or method" for the line: document.write( document.test.test() );
Now here's another weird quirk... I can get it to work ALL the time, if I delay the execution of the Applet method. For example, if the first line after <SCRIPT> is alert( "alert" ); then the user gets a little dialog box with "alert" message in it, and when they hit OK execution continues, and the applet method call ALWAYS works. (On a side note, if I make the Applet test() method static, it NEVER works. Why is this?)
So it seems to me, that when it is failing, it is because the Applet is not completely loaded into the browser yet. My question is, how can I get around this?? Is there a way to instruct JavaScript to wait until the Applet is finished loading before attempting to call any methods on it?
PS I am using Windows ME and IE 6

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I have another question, if you don't mind... here is what my new test web page looks like:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Applet Invocation test</TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
function testFunc()
document.write( document.test.test() );
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="testFunc()">
<APPLET CODE="Test" WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=10 NAME="test">
</APPLET>
<HR>
</BODY>
</HTML>What happens is: the page loads, I see a 10x10 grey applet box, and a <HR>... then a split second later, onLoad is fired, and everything on the page so far is REPLACED with the output of testFunc(), so the ONLY thing on the page after this all completes is "test() method return value"
Why is a single document.write() statement CLEARING the page before outputting? I don't understand. If calling a document.write() from an onLoad event wipes out everything on the page, this is not extremely helpful solution.

Com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErro

Hello,
Intermittently users get the following error when logging into the application which is built upon xmii:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerResource
At this point in the application it is trying to read information which is stored in a SQLServer database.
We see the following errors in trace files:
application [XMII] Processing HTTP request to servlet [Illuminator] finished with error.
The error is: com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerResource
Exception id: [00145E4D6... [see details]
This is running on a NW JavaAs 7.0 SP18, MII 12.0 SP8.
We've replaced the JDBC driver with one which SAP support told us would work, but that did not fix the problem either.
We can get the problem to go away for a period of time by simply disabling and then re-enabling the Data Server connection. It is using the IDBC Connector with a SQL connector type. STATUS shows No. Connections Used 0, No. Connections Available 1, Max No. Connections Used 2. Max. Wait Time 0.0.
Ideas?

Hi John,
Before connecting SQL server with SAP MII, try connecting SQL server independently.
It helps to narrow down the problem.
If the independent connection works fine, try connecting with SAP MII with proper JDBC drivers
Go through the SAP Note 1109274 & forum MII 12.1 - connection to MS SQL2005 database
for more information on JDBC drivers.
Thanks

Calling Webservice from Netweaver Portal to SAP XMII 12.0 using SSO

Hello,
we have a Netweaver 2004s based Portal and a Netweaver-based SAP XMII (v12.0) System providing Webservices.
What we try to do is to call a webservice out of the Portal EAR Application using SSO.
SSO-Konfiguration between Portal and XMII is done and works fine. I tested this using an URL-iView, which calls a https-URL on XMII and SSO-Authentification is done in the background.
Now I want to call a Webservice using SSO.
Without SSO (prodiving UID/PW), the webservice-call works fine.
In order to use SSO with Webservice, I created a "Deployable Webservice Proxy" with "HTTP-Authentication" and "use SAP Logon Ticket" turned on.
Then I remove Login/Password from my SOAP-Request and unfortunately it doesn't work.
What do I have to consider in addition to the topics above?
Can you provide any useful links with tutorials, hints, documentation, ...?
Thanks in advance
Andreas

> Can you please list all the options that we have in order to implement SSO for EP and SAP GUI?

> I could not find any info in regards to the advantages and disadvantages of each SSO solution. Do you have any links that gives this information?
If you search the forum here for the terms you have used, then you will find many of them and interesting discussions about advantages and disadvantages from different views. I think that in 1 or 2 hours you will be a guru
> I am thinking more of using Kerberos authentication for SAP GUI and using OpenSSO (Sun's product)solution for EP 7.0.
>
> Do you know what SSO technologies are other companies implementing these days?
I only know which solutions I have been involved in doing the security evaluations for and implementation support.
I don't want to do any direct or indirect comparative advertizing here, but only wanted to point out to you that there is plenty of information if you use the search. What you need to understand is that other that SAP proprietary mechanisms and newer standards based initiatives (search for 'SAML'), this is often a 3rd party vendor question (and resulting discussion...).
If you find a solution and want to specifically discuss it here, then this can most of the time be done in a civilized way...

I have a basic applet method timing problem with Firefox (and Chrome), not IE nor Opera. Works if JavaScript issues windows.alert() prior, fails otherwise.

I have an applet method, which is invoked from a JavaScript function, that is triggered by the window.onload event. The problem seems to center in the loading of the applet and its methods.
If I step through the 3 applet acceptance prompts (I chose to use a down-level Java), the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. How this happens is beyond my understanding.
As additional information, the Init(), start(), and "desired" Java methods all use the synchronized keyword. This is an attempt to minimize the exposure to a multi-thread environment.
If I issue a message from JavaScript (via window.alert()) PRIOR to invoking the method, I can get the desired results in special circumstances:
1) When the alert is presented, Firefox also prompts, SIMULTANEOUSLY, to block/continue the applet (the first of the 3 applet acceptance prompts). I can accept that these are separate threads.
2a) If I walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts FIRST, and then hit the OK button on the alert message SECOND, I get the desired results, my applet method executes, and all is well (other than the fact that I would prefer not to have the alert in place at all).
2b) If I hit the OK button on the alert message FIRST, and then walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts SECOND, I get the same results as when the page loads WITHOUT the alert, which is the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. Weird, huh?
The above problem only occurs when the browser and the applet's URL are loaded for the first time.
Subsequent invocations (after the page & applet has been loaded initially) do not have the failing symptoms.
It is my understanding that IE and Firefox (and Chrome and Opera, for that matter) each use the same implementation of JavaScript provided by Microsoft. Please correct me if this information is inaccurate.
The failing page and it's applet are proprietary; I cannot provide the Internet URL, nor the Java or JavaScript source, to aid in your analysis.

I can speak to the source code, but have no access to it.
The current process/thread that invokes an applet method must check to see that the applet is not currently being loaded by another process/thread. If it is being loaded, the current process/thread should block until the load is complete, THEN attempt to invoke the applet method.
Please forward my concern to a knowledgable developer. The nature of the problem, once identified, can be addressed in a very straightforward manner.

Problem in retrieving multiple records SAP xMII from SAP using BAPIS

Hi friends,
In SAP xMII i called BAPI_USER_GETLIST by passing import parameters 10 and y.In r/3 BAPI returned 10 rows but In xMII it was returned only one Record.
i want to display 10 records in sap xmii
1) I created to connection ECC5 in Dataservices-->SAPSERVERConfiguration
2)In BLS we placed JCO Interface inside Sequence
3)In BLS I used ECC5 connectrion(using JCO Interface) and called BAPI_USER_GELLIST
4)In Links-->Transaction created two input values for "maxnoofrows","withusername" and output value is "userid".
Input what i mapped
Transaction>"maxnoofrows" =====SAPJCOINTERFACE->Request>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>INPUT-->MAX_ROWS
Transaction>"withusername" =====SAPJCOINTERFACE->Request>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>INPUT-->WITH_USERNAME
Output what i mapped
SAPJCOINTERFACE->Response>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>TABELS>USERLITS >ITEM>USERNAME=====Transaction-->userid
5)Saved the Transaction.
6)In Query Template -->xactuateQuery selected
7)In Datasource Query mode was selected ,Inputrarams i passed 10 and y as parameters.
It was returned one user id from R/3 inSAP xMII
please help me to retrive all 10 rows from r/3
Regards
Srikanth

hi,
What is the data type of Transaction output (userid)?
Make this as XML type.
The format which BAPI returns the result does not match with xMII XML format.
Create a xMII XML document and configure with column name as userid. and by using repeater and XML row add all tho values to the document. Then assign whole doument to transaction output.
Hope this will help to resolve the issue.

Kishore

Upgrade JAXP 1.2 to JAXP 1.3 in SAP xMII

Hi All,
I need a favour regarding JAXP (Java API for XML Processing).
I am currently using SAP xMII 11.5 it uses both DOM as well as SAX parser to parse the xml. Also it uses JAXP to talk with DOM and SAX.
Now the issue is it uses JAXP 1.2 which is not handling big xml. It makes a performance issue when the size of the xml is large.
So I need to upgrade the JAXP in xMII system.
Also I am using J2SE 1.4.2.
So I cant use JAXP 1.4 or more as it is not compatible with J2SE 1.4.2. JAXP1.4 uses J2SE 5.0 or more.
I cant upgrade Java version rather I can upgrade from JAXP 1.2 to JAXP 1.3 or some other but lower than JAXP 1.3 & it should be compatible with J2SE 1.4.2 & windows.
Now the need is to how to implement JAXP 1.3 in an existing system which is already using JAXP 1.2
Thanks,
Murugappan.

Mark:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can try using Pacifist to extract Safari from your install disk and install it. You may then be able to upgrade it more easily, although I can't promise that for sure.
Unless you are absolutely wedded to Safari, I find Camino to be at least as good (I think better) as Safari, and looks almost identical, so that there should not be much of a learning curve. I also use Firefox and especially like it for the measure of security it provides.
Please do not hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

AP: Procedure in SAP to void payment methods

Good Morning,
What is the procedure in SAP to void payment methods?
For checks? Is it possible to void range of checks as well?
EFT? Is it possible to void payment method for EFT? If so, how? Also, what if the payment was already sent to the bank?
Thanks!

Hi,
For unused checks, you can void the check range in FCH3
For issued checks, you can viod the check in FCH9
Also, please go through this link for better understanding for voiding check payments.

Call applet method with arguments from JavaScript

I have an applet with a method doSomething(int a, String b, double c), I want get a,b,c from threee text fields put into an HTML page, and pass them to the applet method. I've a very poor knowledge in JavaScript, how can I pass correctly the arguments without raise a CastException? It seems to me that JavaScript doesn't have int, String, double.....

Hi!
You can verify before you send the parameters to the applet
Something like that:
var result = parseInt (a);
if (result =NaN)
alert("Sorry not Int");
return false;
and after that you can send the parammeters to the applet that way:
document.yourApplet.Your_function_from_applet(result,..)
hope this help!

Call applet methods from Javascript

Hello,
If I call applet method like :
function callbackFunc(){
var pp = appletID.getData();
alert(pp);
It works only if applet is deployed with <APPLET> tag or with javascript.
If applet is deployed using <Object> and <embed> tags, in browser console the error is :
TypeError: appletID.getData is not a function
I couldn't find why is that behaviour. What do I do wrong?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
(1)Seems to be your Java Runtime Environment path is still setted for JRE 1.3.0_01 and not for 1.3.1. So pelase go to the
Control Panel-->java plugin 1.3.1-->Advanced. Here you set the Java Runtime Environment to the JRE 1.3.1 version. Its better to remove the older version before installing the new version on JRE.
(2)<OBJECT> tag won't work for Netscape. You can only use <APPLET> or <EMBED> tag for Netscape.
Hope this will help you.
