Some questions related to site studio 10gR4

Hi everyone
We are developing a solution using UCM, and I have couple of questions regarding the usage of the site studio 10gR4.
It will be really great if any one of you can either answer or point me to the rite document/webpage where I can get these answers.
The requirement is, we are going to use the site studio to develop the page template, and place holder, region definitions, element definitions etc. And then the contributor will contributor will contribute content using the contributor mode. But, there is another website in which this page template will be embedded, a Java based website.
So it will be like, we create this page template, and call it inside a web application using CIS.
Now my questions are
Q1. Is there any service or CIS API to call page template? I have seen the page holder service, but don't know if there is any for page template.
Q2. If there is a service I can call Page template, will that page template be in HTML format including all the sub elements like place holder, region definition etc?
Q3. Now suppose if I am able to get all the required content using either the place holder or page template service call. Now I am displaying it to the user as an embedded content inside my other Java based website. Can I still do the Cntrl+Shift+F5 and call it in the contributor mode? If I am not, is there any way to achieve it? Because my contributors want to contribute while seeing the whole website and not just the embedded page template.
Q4. Can anyone tell me about all the services Site studio supports? or any document where I can find them?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies, but I have found the answers to all of the questions, i will put them here for others as well ...
Q1. Is there any service or CIS API to call page template? I have seen the page holder service, but don't know if there is any for page template.
Nope, there is no service to call Page template.
Q2. If there is a service I can call Page template, will that page template be in HTML format including all the sub elements like place holder, region definition etc
Since there is no service to call page template, this question remains invalid. However, the answer to the other part with reference to place holder will be, the place holder CIS call will return the HTML that can be embedded in the calling framework. This HTML will contain everything present inside the place holder like fragments, RD, RT etc.
Q3. Now suppose if I am able to get all the required content using either the place holder or page template service call. Now I am displaying it to the user as an
embedded content inside my other Java based website. Can I still do the Cntrl+Shift+F5 and call it in the contributor mode? If I am not, is there any way to achieve it? Because my contributors want to contribute while seeing the whole website and not just the embedded page template.
Atually the Cntrl+Shift+F5 generates an event which calls the begin_edit_session service, since we can associate this event with anything, it hardly matters if we are using Cntrl+Shift+F5 or a button click or a link on the page, the sole purpose remains calling the begin_edit_session service. In the contribution mode, we will only see the embedded part that is coming from the UCM and not if anything is present in in the embedding framework
Q4. Can anyone tell me about all the services Site studio supports? or any document where I can find them?
placeholder service, and begin edit session service, obviously there are many of them (you can see in <UCM>\CS\custom\SiteStudio\resources\ss_services.htm), but for CIS integration these are the useful one's.

Site studio 10gr4 case study or learning material

hi All,
I need some learning material for site studio 10gR4, so any recommendations ?
thanks in advance

Hundreds are loving the new Site Studio now... even though they first found its new site design messy and annoying!
Here's another great resource - if you've seen the old Studio. It shows you why R4/11g is such a big deal. Its a fun read - check it out at

Using the ssIncludeXml function in Site Studio 10gR4

Since the managed data file format has changed dramatically in Site Studio 10gR4, how do I still use ssIncludeXml to extract a particular element?
For example, a data file in Site Studio 10gR3 looks similar to this:
<region1>
<PageBody>
</PageBody>
</region1>
To extract the "PageBody" element I would use the ssIncludeXml function like this:
ssIncludeXml(dDocName,"region1/PageBody/node()")
In Site Studio 10gR4 a typical data file format looks like this:
<wcm:root>
<wcm:element name="PageBody">
</wcm:element>
</wcm:root>
How do I use the ssIncludeXml function to match the "PageBody" here?
Thanks!

I'm trying to do this in Site Studio 11g and am having zero luck. I have an HCSP in Site Studio [which I am using to write XML] that is querying the system and returning a set of XML data files. In my HSCP, I have
<link></link>
The XML documents' format is
<wcm:root version="8.0.0.0">
<wcm:element name="metadata"/>
<wcm:element name="url">http://www.cnn.com</wcm:element>
<wcm:element name="thumbnail"><img src="/cs/groups/internal/documents/digitalmedia/mdaw/mdex/~edisp/cf_12_831_ivolunteers_3_.jpg" alt="ivolunteers" /></wcm:element>
<wcm:element name="text">This is my link text</wcm:element></wcm:root>
When I run this, however, I get nothing returned (no errors either).
Frustration! :) Any ideas?

How to get the dID of any Content from SS_DATAFILE in Site Studio 10gR4?

Hi,
I am trying to get the dID of a Contributor Data File from its dDocName (SS_DATAFILE). I can do a search based on this Content ID but if I am able to get the dID using one of the Site Studio variables, it will be great.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi Sapan,
I am trying to customize a Dynamic List element to display the list of related content for the contributor data file. For this, I use the GET_RELATED_CONTENT service exposed by the Oracle RelatedContent component which needs the dID as a parameter. Now in a Contribution Region, I can get the the dDocName (Content ID) of the datafile from the SS_DATAFILE Site Studio variable. However, I need to get the dID from this Content ID.
Thanks for your reply.
Justin

two questions related to this:
1. Why Java is designed to only permit single
inheritence, any stories behind the scene? I think
some major reasons why "prefer interfaces toabstract
classes" is accepted is rooted in this limitation.Yes, one of the reasons interfaces are better is that
you can only extend one class, but implement many
interfaces. Say you have a concrete class that should
"implement" two different types. If those types were
defined as abstract classes, you could only use one
type. You could implement both types if they were
interfaces though. So why java is designed to have this limitation? There may be some arguments before this is settled down. I always like to hear this kind of stories:)
2. Base on the fact that once an interface is outof
box and widely implemented, it is almostimpossible
to change it. So how you guys design yourinterfaces?
Could you share some? In my idea, I would designmy
interfaces as compact as possible.You could extend the interface and start using that
if you didn't want to break existing code. You
couldn't use that implementation as an Interface1
though, since the new methods only exist in
Interface2, so that's not an optimal solution.So we may always need to add a new interface when we just want to add a new method.

Some Questions about Sun Java Studio Creator IDE

I am quiet new to the IDE, but I experienced some
behaviours I do not actually understand.
I hope I can get some help here.
Sun Java Studio Creator Update 9
Each time I change the font size and type using the
"Advanced" option of the IDE the font I changed correctly.
But after closing and restarting the IDE the fonts are set
back to the default undoing my changes.
Is there a way to use code completion for the jsf tags within jsps ?
I know that there are code clips for adding jsf components to the jsp,
but (coming from eclipse ide) I'd appreciate a feature like the code completion for the jsf components. If there is a way by configuring, how can that be acchieved ?
Trying to add a "taglib declaration" to the jsp e.g. "<%@taglib uri="..." prefix="..." I get the warning that the tags of the xml must be welformed.
How can I add those taglib declarations correctly ?
Using the "File System View" after each change made e.g. to a jsp the
tree collapses and I have to navigate to the tree again to find my resources.
Is this common behaviour or to be configured ?
Thx for any support.

Hi,
1. The changes made to the font size and type are indeed getting reset in Creator update 9. However this behaviour is not seen in the latest version of Creator which is Creator 2 EA 2. The final version of this will be available very soon and we encourage you to try the new release which has lot more features and lot of bug fixes. For more details please visit:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/ea/jsc2/
The following thread will explain about the tags and how they should be well formed:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=47615
The behaviour of the File System View was encountered in Creator update 9 as you have mentioned. Once again this behaviour was not see in the latest version Creator 2 EA 2.
So we recommend you to try out the latest version.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and thank you for the same.
Cheers
Giri

Some questions relating to ESS Customization

Hi Gurus,
Have a couple of questions regarding ESS Customization. And also to understand ESS better.
1. I am trying to pull out the Additional Personal Info stored in Infotype - 0077 and show it in Portal. For this, I am planning to write a new functinal module/ RFC which would return the infotype values to front end. Is that ok or is there any best practice for doing this?
2. Where is the Home Area Page defined? Is it part of the WebDynpro component or is it stored as a configurable element in the backend? Any directions would be greatly appreciated. I am still in the process of importing the ESS Components into the track. So, couldnt get to see the code yet.
3. Which transaction can I use to see the various Infotypes' descriptions? And which transaction/ table can I use to see the
infotypes'contents or fields?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anjana Raghav

Hi,
The Home Area Group in Self-Services is indeed configurable at the backend.
This article explains in detail. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10ddda33-277b-2a10-5294-9913ee5d698f
Thanks,
Any inputs on the first question?

Some questions related to BPM

Hi All,
Is there any document available which specifies the standard naming conventions to be used in BPM? Please respond, if there is any.
Also need various documents which can explain the following:
Performance aspects of BPM-->dependencies, limitations, how to improve.
Which database is being used for Composites applications or which is the best?
Regards.
Rajat

There is no specific naming convention document for BPM....page 13-14 of this document can be helpful:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/40a66d0e-fe5e-2c10-8a85-e418b59ab36a&overridelayout=true
Though the document is for PI7.1.....the naming convention will be applicable for 7.0 also (for BPM)
Limitations:
1) Do not make the BPM wait for a longer period of time
How to improve:
1) As far as possible keep the mappings outside the BPM...avoid using Transformation step...instead include the mappings in Interface Determination.
2) Make use of exception handling mechanism in the BPM, so that in case of an error/ exception while processing a step the BPM wont go into error state....or wont stuck.
Also have read of this section: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/5b/408e42fa68861ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm

Some questions related to donut charts in SSRS

I am interested in knowing the following things:
How to show total of all legend items in legend block itself as "Total".
How to show Total (say amount) in the center of donut chart.
How to customize the thickness of donut in donut chart and radius of inside and outside circle (the other thickness).
The lable markers (arrow) are not coming as a right angle arrows when i tried to use the donut and pie charts, the are coming as randomly angular lines which is hampering the beauty of the report.
Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

I suppose i have got a work around for this.
In case you have such requirements, Instead of Using a Dounut Charts, you can use Gauge Chart.
Firstly select the inner area of the gauge and from the options remove the labels, minor & major tick marks. Secondly from gauge properties remove the Frame of the Gauge. Now U will be left over with only the "Range" part of the Gauge chart.You can add
number of ranges to get the 360 Dounut look. You can specify each "Range" start & end range with hard code values or expression . Playing with the Range general properties, you can achieve the mentioned customization. You can add a Label to the Gauge and
place it in the center

Character replacement script for Site Studio / idocscript

Working on creating and RSS feed of items in our CMS via the RSS feed component in Site Studio. I have the feed generating, but the Google Product search parser that I need to read the feed balks at odd (non-standard) characters like "o-slash" and an accented e. We have many items with foreign-language descriptions or authors from non-English countries that use characters outside of standard English.
I would have thought that using xml(parameter) would have solved this problem, but it does not.
At the moment, I'm "solving" this by individually locating the error and adding a "regexReplaceAll" for each one to change it to a somewhat acceptable alternative. It gets even tougher when, for example, I have to replace for the "o-slash" by using this:

because the server recognizes the o-slash as &#248, but the xml parser (Google Product search's data feed) will accept it only if I also make the ampersand in the entity an entity as well.
My question is... is there an easier way to find and replace for all these potential pitfalls? Is there a idocscript that someone has already written and is willing to share?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Barry
(using Site Studio 10gR4)

Thanks, but  doesn't seem to work for this parser (Google products data feed) and/or the characters that are being used.
For example, the output of  is this:
"...lleven un método efectivo para medir la satisfacción..."
and the error is this:
"Some of the characters in your items seem to be invalid.
...lleven un mÃ©todo efectivo para medir la satisfacciÃ³n..."
So the parser is either seeing something different than what I see (even though we're reading the same file) or it just doesn't consider "é" and "ó" to be valid xml (and I have no idea if they are or not).
I have been asking for more guidance on the Google products board, too, but was hoping that there was something else that could be done from Site Studio end.
Thanks!
Barry

Styling items in Site Studio Contributor

Hello,
Similar to the way that contributors can style text by assigning predefined CSS classes through the style drop-down menu in a Site Studio Contributor form, I would also like to give them the ability to style ordered lists and tables (border-type, mainly). Is this possible? I have tried specifying these styles to be added in the style drop-down menu with no luck, as it seems to ignore any non text-based styles with some exceptions. If accomplishing this is not possible, is there a way to pre-format these lists/tables and give contributors options to pick from? Using WYSIWYG elements is not an acceptable solution for me because most of my contributors do not know anything about HTML and CSS. I come from an Interwoven system that has many features available for administrators to set (which CSS classes are available, context-sensitivity of classes, etc.). I am wondering if there is something similar in UCM.
If I am unclear, please let me know and I will elaborate.
Thank you for your time.

This seems to be covered by the support note 1465975.1 (Unable to Enter into Site Studio Contribution Mode After Upgrading to Firefox 13)
The solution from the note:
If on an 10g system upgrade to Site Studio 10gR4 build 9.0.0.793 or greater.
If on an 11g system upgrade to Site Studio 11g build 11.0.0.786 or greater. For example the 11g MLR 11 for a .6 system has this fix and the 11g MLR 18 for a .5 system has this fix.
If the version is not available with the current patchset on the 10g Content Server please open a new Service Request with Oracle Support and reference this Note ID and the build will be provided.
(there are few more notes with similar issues, in case this remedy won't help, but it'll do no harm to start with it either way)

General questions related to Java

Good evening,I would like to ask you some questions related to Java :
1) class A {
public int x=1;
public int y=5;
public A() { y=6; }
public A(int a) { x=a; }
public A(int a, int b) { x=a; y=b; }
class B extends A {
public B() {}
public B(int a) { super(a); }
public B(int a, int b) { super(a,b); }
public B(int a, int b, int c) { x=a+b+c; }
public B(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
super(a,b); y=c+d; }
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
B b4 = new B(1,1,1);
System.out.println("b4.x: "+b4.x+" b4.y: "+b4.y);
I cannot understand why y = 6.
As i see it,i find it more logical that y = 5.
Could anybody tell me why y becomes 6?
How did we get into the constructor of A : public A() in order y to be changed?
2) Well in an exercise i have to handle out we have to find the a,b,c of a program .Unfortunately i dunno about them,Can anybody explain to me what do they mean or attach me a link (e.g. a tutorial) in order to figure out?
a)pre condition in Java
b)post condition in Java
c)invariant condition
3)
3) Fraction apple = new Fraction (1, 2);
Fraction peach = new Fraction (4, 5);
Fraction pear = apple;
peach.halve();
pear.halve();
System.out.println(apple);
System.out.println(peach);
System.out.println(pear);
It's the first time i see an object as a parameter in System.out.println.
CAn anybody tell me when i can pass an object as an argument in System.out.println?
Thanks in advance!

How did we get into the constructor of A : public A() in order y to be changed?if you don't explicitly call a super constructor, the empty super constructor is called for you. If no empty accessible super constructor is available and no explicit call from subclass is made - compile error.
CAn anybody tell me when i can pass an object as an argument in System.out.println?Whenever you want. Object.toString() will be called and the resulting String will be used. If the object is null, the String "null" will be used instead.

Question related to Synchronous update

Hi, all
I have some question related to synchronous update:
1. What is the syntax if I want to write synchronous update.
Do i write as:
call funcition A in update task
commit work and wait
Or just
call function A (A declared as update type function )
commit work and wait
Or ...
2.If we use synchronous update, is VBHDR,VBDATA still filled the same way when using asynchronus update?
Thanks in advance,
Liming

Hi,
Why do we use this " In Update Task " ??
The main update technique for bundling database changes in a single
database LUW is to use CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK.
How do we Use ??
A typical R/3 installation contains dialog work processes and at least one update work process. The update work processes are responsible for updating the database. When an ABAP program reaches a COMMIT WORK statement, any function modules from CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK statements are released for processing in an update work process. The dialog process does not wait for the update to finish. This kind of update is called asynchronous update.
What is the Use... ??
Asynchronous update is useful when response time from the transaction is critical, and the database updates themselves are so complex that they justify the extra system load

SITE STUDIO DOWNLOAD HELP

Hello guys,
Can anybody provide me the link to download site studio 10gr4 ...please... I have searched a lot but could not find one....
Earlier like 4 months back i have downloaded from oracle ...but now i could not see it

I expect you need to update the webserver config and restart.
e.g. Apache needs something like
<Location "/">
IdcSecurity myserver
</Location>
where 'myserver' will depend on your local install.
See section 2.4.2 here for mre details
