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?

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 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
Rupal chawla

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.

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

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

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

Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
ible?
(2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
(3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
(4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

Hi Vishal,
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.
Ron

Some questions with install paths and reporting

I have some questions that i would like to ask
The first is regarding the installation path of the silverlight client when it is published, where is it located, is there a way to customize your application so that the user can specify an install directory , or a way to update the web.config with
the install directory....
Second question is , in development I am able to create a report, with report viewer using the localhost address of the silverlight client server side. but when i publish it, the address is no longer found. Is there another way I can go about doing
a report of the data in my sliverlight client application ? if so can i get some suggestions , I do know about some of the 3rd party extensions but none of them that I know of are free and I do not have the means right now to get them....
this is all for a 2- tier Desktop silverlight client application.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
David.

I wanted to know if i can TELL lightswitch application to install when im running it after it being publised . or where it is installed to after first run of the application.....
as far as Reporting goes and as far as I know DEVEXPRESS no longer supports lightswitch so there is no way for me to get ahold of the xtra reports extension ... please update your knowledge base and offer another solution..
HI David,
Thanks for your response.
From your description above, I think this issue is related to your deployment procedure, you can also customize your deployment path. For this issue, I'd like to suggest you to check it again, you can refer to this article. See:
Deploy a Two-tier LightSwitch Application
If you want to use report extension in lightswitch application, you can learn relevant topics about report extension in Lightswitch forum.
Hope it helps you.Best regards,
Angie

ESS customization deploy

Dear all,
We have some customization on ESS, and our consultant deploys the modified component by compile the component in NWDS as an EAR file, and manual deployment by the SDM tool.
It looks horribly wrong to me, as I think it should deploy via NWDI as a SCA.
Can someone please kindly clarify for me?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bill

Hi all,
Thanks for the confirmation, would like to ask one more question.
As far as I know, in general the ESS customization will deploy development environment by component, but in production environment, it will deploy as SCA.
Because we don't have consolidation environment, I would like to know if I can fully simulate the production environment by assembly the SCA and deploy to development environment via SDM manually

Some questions about configuration in MAX.

Hello,everyone!
I have some questions about configuration in MAX(I am a jackaroo for motion control development),I hope I can get your help.
I use PCI-7344+UMI-7764+Servo amplifier+Servo motor,my MAX version is 4.2 and I use NI-Motion7.5
My question as following:
1,In Axis Configuration,for motor type,why I must select stepper but not servo?my motor is servo motor!If I select Servo,my motor can't run,I don't know why.
If I select stepper,though motor can work but I can't test encoder in MAX.
2,In Stepper settings,for stepper loop mode,why I must select open-loop but not close-loop?If I select close-loop,the servo motor doesn't work too.
3,If I want my two servo motors run at different velocity,How shoud I do?It seems I just can set the same velocity in MAX for my two servo motors.
My English is poor,Pls pardon me!I come from China.
Thank you for your help!

Striving is without limit!

Hi,Jochen,
Thank you for your kindly help!
The manufacturer of the drive and motor that I am using now is Japan SANYO DENKI,drive type is RS1A01AA,motor type is R2AA06020FXP00.
And I use position control mode,thehe encoder's counts per revolution is 131072.I set the electronic gear ratio to 1:1 for drive.
Now,I can use Close-Loop to control the motor but still has some problems.When I configure it to run in closed loop mode, the motors behave strangely and never move to the target position.When I configure it to run in closed loop mode, the motors behave strangely and never move to the target position.The detail situation is as following
1,Motor can't run.
2, Or motor moves to a position, then moves in the same direction agian and eventually stops.
Except for the two points mentioned above,"Following Error" is occured frequently,I don't know why.
I am still not clear why I must set the motor type be stepper in MAX .
And I have another question:what the relationship between the steps and the counts?They have the proportion relations?I notice that there are a section said like this in help document: For proper closed-loop and p-command operation, steps per revolution/counts per revolution must be in the range of 1/32,767 < steps/counts < 32,767. An incorrect counts to steps ratio can result in failure to reach the target position and erroneous closed-loop stepper operation.
I am verry sorry I have too many questions!
I am very appreciate for your kingly help!Thanks again!

Some question on IDOC (Control Record/Data Record/Status Record)

Dear all,
I am new in this area, and would like to enquire some question on this topic.
When I view a IDOC via WE02, each of the IDOC record will consist of Control Record/Data Record/Status Record).
Questions:
I notice that the data records consists of many segment (i.e. E1EDK01, etc) which are use to store application data.
1 - My question is do I have to manually create all these segment and do a mapping to my application field one by one (i.e. that is when I want to create a brand new message type from scratch)?
2 - If question no. 1 is Yes, how to do it, what are the transaction code to create it? can you show me the step by step.
3 - I don't have to create the Control record and the status record for my new message type right ? because those field value will automatically pull out from partner profile and system status message, am I correct?
Thanks.
Tuff

Hi Tuff,
As everything in SAP, with IDOCs too there are
1) Standard IDOCs
2) Standard IDOCs(Extending - Enhancement to an IDOC, to accomodate for custom values)
3) Custom IDOCs
And every IDOC has,
Control record - EDIDC Structure - This mostly reflects the partner profile information, along with few more details which are used for IDOC extension, Sequencing etc
Data Records - EDID4 Structure - These records contain the actual business data of the document in concern. So for ORDERS05 it would contain order details, INVOIC02 - Invoice details so on...
Status Records - These records capture the status of an IDOC from the time it is received/sent from your system and a corresponding business document is created/changed. So this will have messages like "IDOC sent to the port OK" etc which are status from the communication layer(ALE) to application specific messages like "Sales Order XXX created" or "Invalid Material" etc.
You would have noticed something called as Process code in the partner profile, this is associated with a FM(or work flow task etc) which has the business logic coded in.
So in case of an Inbound IDOC, the sending system updates the IDOC - Control and Data records, and sends it to the receiving system. On the receiving system the IDOC's control record is validated against the partner profiles set, if an entry is found then using the process code it finds the associated FM which will decode the data from the IDOC data records as per the IDOC type and then use it to post data into SAP (VIA BDC, Batch Input, BAPI etc).
And all this while the Status records are being updated accordingly.
So with the above context will try to answer your questions,
1 - My question is do I have to manually create all these segment and do a mapping to my application field one by one (i.e. that is when I want to create a brand new message type from scratch)?
In case of a custom IDOC, yes you will have to.
In case of a standard IDOC, you wouldn't have you just have set up the necessary configuration (Partner Profile, Process code etc)
In case of a standard IDOC extended to accommodate for some custom values(for which there are no fields in standard IDOC - Let us say you have added some new fields on VA01) - In this case you can still use the standard Process code and Standard FM associated with it, SAP provides several Function exits in these FM's which you can leverage to add your custom logic.
2 - If question no. 1 is Yes, how to do it, what are the transaction code to create it? can you show me the step by step.
There are several documents available on the net and on SDN detailing step by step approach for all the above three cases,
just search for step by step guide for IDOCS - sap.
3 - I don't have to create the Control record and the status record for my new message type right ? because those field value will automatically pull out from partner profile and system status message, am I correct?
Again it depends, in case of using a standard IDOC you wouldn't have to. But in case you have some customizations/enhancements then you might have to.
For Ex: updating the control record accordingly for indicating that you have extended the standard IDOC. Or append custom messages to the status record as per the business logic.
Try out the examples you find on the net and post any specific questions you might have.
Regards,
Chen

Hi,
As moorthy already said pattersns are like templates that can solve many of the real time scenarios either as given or with some customization.
In BPM there are different patterns and each one having some sub patterns within them with slight variations.
Some Patterns are,
1. Multicast Pattern.
2. Serialization Pattern.
3. Sync/Async Bridge Pattern.
4. Collect/Bundle Pattern.
