SQR DEVELOPER PROCESS ISSUE

Failed to produce the HTML output file. Additionally, no SPF,.LOG or .ERR files were generated. Most likely causes include: SQR congiguration, and the BRD datasource definition used for this report

Hi Rani,
You can use data objects and do a input/ output mapping between the activities. Read [this |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c052052e-fbab-2b10-0d9a-9feed5463589] article, section Define mapping should be handy
PS-I assume you mean data flow between activities (not process).

Large and Complex Applicaton development process in Apex

Hi,
Apex can scale well in terms of Data size, number of users etc. We are trying to decide if Apex is suitable for our next large and complex application (Large and complex in terms of quantity and efforts of work and business logic). We have already identified that Apex can handle complexity of our transaction/business logic management. My question is about scaling application development process in Apex. I am curious to know about what other people are doing with Apex in terms of:
* What is the largest Number of Pages, Forms, Reports etc. within a single application one has developed
* Assuming with so many pages (objects) to be developed, more than one developers must have worked on the project and the project is divided into multiple phases release. What was/is the max number of developers in your project?
* Did you run into "Code Conflct" issues for Apex Shared Objects when multiple people had to work on them? How did you manage it and merge the changes?
* How did you identify, track and manage changes in Apex objects between various project phases and between various environments (DEV, TEST, UAT, PROD).
* What else you would like to add (in terms of development life cycle only) to my thoughts above that we need to consider while choosing Apex for our next project.
* Based on your experience would you recommend Apex for our large and complex application?
Many thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi Przemek, Jerry and Roel,
Thanks to all of you for your helpful responses. If we follow best practices mentioned like trying to centralize code in Page 0, db packages/procedures, JS libs shared components (especially "Shared App" having Shared components between multiple apps) we can minimize code management efforts and use existing technologies to identify, merge, promote code changes. This still leaves with some code and changes that will localized to individual pages (and we still need to manage page 0 and Shared object code changes. I will explain what I am trying to say with an example below about managing changes in a page.
Przemek, and Jerry,
How are you identifying, managing and promoting changes between applications environments say TEST to PROD. For example we have 2 separate dbs (and hence workspaces) to host Apex TEST and Apex PROD environment. If I have modified page 15 in TEST and now need to promote changes made to page 15 (deltas) to PROD how do I compare and identify the deltas? Apex can not migrate the whole page across apps in different workspaces and even if Apex can I don't think it is a good idea to overwrite page 15 in PROD with page 15 in TEST unless we can compare them, identify the deltas and make sure the changes are what we intended to promote. Exporting pages and comparing using a text editor is time consuming because of various ids and the way New Line characters can get embedded in page export. Logic that the TEST env should have identical copy of prod due to a refresh before promoting changes from DEV won't help because then whole of above will apply between DEV and TEST (albeit with little less risk as the target is TEST and hopefully any unintended changes will be caught during testing).
Apex 3.1 has Apex Applications Compare facility? If you have used it, what is your take on it? I think it is too basic but a good start. Won't it be good if there was a nice full fledged compare tool for Apex objects?
Thanks

Comparing ABAP development process with Model Driven Architecture concept

My Background
I am a postgraduate student writing a Masters Degree Dissertation titled An Investigation into how compatible ERP Development Process is with Model Driven Development Philosophy: A SAP R/3 Case Study.
The aim of this project is to compare ERP system development process with Model Driven Development (MDD) and to identify whether and how they can be used together. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is Object Management Groups (OMG) flavour of the MDD philosophy and is the paradigm that will be used here.
I have chosen SAP R/3 as my case study in order to narrow the research and want to explore the development processes/cycle involved in using ABAP/4 to reconfigure/customize SAP R/3 system during implementation.
An overview of the MDA concept according to OMG is given below. Following this, Ive provided some questions that are open to discussions.
Overview of the MDA Concept
The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to software systems development that separates the specification of system functionality from the specification of the implementation of the functionality on a specific technology platform. The MDA concept provides an open, vendor-neutral approach to system interoperability.
A recent study by the Middleware Company summarizes MDA paradigm as a development process that makes use of the following steps:
1.     Secure business requirements for an application.
2.     Develop UML diagrams for the domain model, independent of any particular technology (J2EE, Microsoft .NET, CORBA, etc). This UML model represents the core business services and components. This UML model is called Platform Independent Model (PIM) because it is completely technology-independent and will be the same regardless of whether you decided to use J2EE or .NET. You develop this UML model using UML modelling capabilities of an MDA-specific modelling tool.
3.     Build UML diagrams for the application, specific to a particular technology (J2EE, for example). This UML model will have design patterns. This UML model is called Platform Specific Model (PSM). You can build this manually, or you can generate much of it using an MDA tool and hand-tune only pieces of it that require customisation.
4.     Finally, generate the application code using an MDA tool. That is to say, instead of writing the application by hand based on the UML model, you generate the majority of it from the UML diagrams.
To develop an application using MDA, it is necessary to first build a PIM of the application, then transform this, using a standardised mapping into a PSM, and, finally, map the latter into the application code.
A mapping is a set of rules and techniques used to modify one model in order to get another model. In MDA, mappings are used for transforming:
1)     PIM to PIM. This transformation is used when models are enhanced, filtered or specialized during the development lifecycle without needing any platform dependent information. One of the most obvious mappings is the analysis to design models transformation. PIM to PIM mappings, are generally related to model refinement.
2)     PIM to PSM. This transformation is used when the PIM is sufficiently refined to be projected to the execution infrastructure. The projection is based on the platform characteristics. Describing these characteristics should be done using UML description. Going from a logical component model to a commercial existing component model is a kind of PIM to PSM mapping.
3)     PSM to PSM. This transformation is needed for component realization and deployment. PSM to PSM mapping are generally related to platform dependent model refinement.
4)     PSM to PIM. This transformation is required for abstracting models of existing implementations in a particular technology into a platform-independent model. This procedure often resembles a mining process that is hard to be fully automated. It may be supported by tools, though. Ideally, the result of this mapping will match the corresponding PIM to PSM mapping.
Questions/Discussions
1.     What specific stages are involved in development using ABAP/4? (e.g., requirements gathering, analysis, design, coding, etc)
2.     Do these stages fit into any traditional software development lifecycle? (e.g. waterfall model, v-model, etc)
3.     Which of the stages in (1) above best describes the Platform Independent Model (PIM) of the MDA concept above?
4.     Which of the stages in (1) above best describes the Platform Specific Model (PSM) of the MDA concept above?
5.     How does the Accelerated SAP roadmap relate to the MDA concept above?
6.     Assuming theres a change in business requirements of a company that could lead to reconfiguring/customizing the R/3 system, how is this achieved? For instance, if a model has earlier been developed for that particular process, how does the change in the model affect coding/modification?
7.     How is coding achieved with respect to the reconfiguration of the business models or reference models?
8.     Are all coding manually done or are there tools in the ABAP Workbench that enable codes to be generated automatically from the models of the system?
9.     How much time is spent in coding compared to developing business models like EPC models?

I've also read about the SAP Composite Application Framework (CAF).
But it seems that it's only for Java development....

Development process in SAP

Hi
Please let me know,
What is the development process followed in SAP?
Thanks in advance.

It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
1) Set the project scope.
2) Generate the Project IMG.
3) Generate the BPML.
4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.

Business Development Process Template

Can anyone help me in getting a template for the Business Development Process in SAP.If there is no template then help me in developing a template with details that are needed in this process.
Regards,
Arun Krishnan.G

First of all thanks for the reply.
But this is not the one I am looking for.Once again I am repeating my question.
I am working in a SAP platform oriented software firm and my company is going for ISO & CMMi Level3 certifications.Now I am a part of the QA department which is doing all the documentation work for achieving this.As you may aware of the different process areas like HR process,Finance process etc that comes under this.
Business Development team, which is responsible for getting projects for a firm is an important one.So I am asking for a Process area documentation in Business Development.Please help in preparing this.

JavaServer Faces Development process

Are there any guidelines / best practices how a JavaServer Faces development process can
be established. Mainly I'm worry about the separation between
HTML designer (page authors) and application developers.
Is it a "good" procedure to let application developer create a sort of prototype including
the JSP pages and MockBackingBeans to enable a reasonable
preview for the page authors?
Or are there any other recommended approaches, how this can be done?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Please let me know , if you find some!!!

J2EE development process

Hello,
I've just completed all the tutorials in the book I was reading and have completed a number of small J2EE projects to get me going. Im now about to start a much larger project in J2EE.
The problem is that the development process Im using must be wrong, as it seems very laborious. I'm used to coding web applications in ASP, where I could edit a scipt, save it and immediately run it to test it.
With J2EE I'm finding I need to edit the script then package into a WAR and then relaunch before testing. Is there a quicker way round this that resembles the ASP drop-and-run method? Is this why Ive been hearing a lot about ANT files? Is that what they help with?
btw Ive been coding in Java for over 6 years, so I understand the compilation process etc. Was just wondering if there is a quicker way of doing this.
ThankQ.

With J2EE I'm finding I need to edit the script then
package into a WAR and then relaunch before testing.
Is there a quicker way round this that resembles the
ASP drop-and-run method? Yes, just copy you'r JSP file to a server, where you'r application is deployed.
Is this why Ive been hearing
a lot about ANT files? Is that what they help with?ANT can, for example, copy all JSP files you have modified to a server.

SQR Developer ERROR

Hi, I am using SQR Developer for a simple report which just displays a message. I get this following error...."Failed to produce the HTML output file. Additionally , no .SPF, .LOG, or .ERR files were generated. Most likely causes include: SQR configuration, and the BRB datasource definition used for this request."I would appreciate if someone could please let me know how to correct this.I have set the General Preferences Thanks

Hi,
To access the IR, FR, SQR & Dashboard studios, you need to install the BI + client. There is no URL to access these tools.
When you will install the BI + client software, it will install the studios of IR, FR, PR (SQR), Dashboard builder on your machine.
Web Analysis, workspace, Shared services are access by URL only. As these are the web interfaces for the users.
For EAS, you can access it via the URL or using admin console (Essbase administrator services-client tool). You need to install this client software on your machine.
Hope it will help you.
Thanks & Regards,

Dashboard Development Process

Post Author: Roy Varghese
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
Hi,
We are planning to implement dashboards using Dashboard Manager. I was looking for the following
Any standard requirement gathering process/template for dashboarding?
Standard development process to build dashboards?
Best practices for dashboard development?
We are currently on BO 6.5, is that a good enough platform for dashboard development or is migration to BO XI necessary?
Time estimates to develop dashboard for 4-5 metrics? Any process to come up with time estimation?
I would really appreciate your help.
Regards,
Roy

Hi Aman,
I understand that and will post here some locations where you can find out the reference guides!
Also will try to get a brief about the material I have with me!
About the SAP recommendation, it will depends on our environment, how many users, what level of integration do you need, need integration with other Office tools, questions like that need to be answered in order to better provide you an answer!
Talking about my experience, I can say that Crystal is a very good tool to provide enhancements for the reports and also give us some more possibilities!
But as it´s not a requirement to have Crystal, it´s quite hard to say what is the SAP recommendation! Also, Crystal will need to be licensed separeted from GRC products!

Is it possible to filter on Develop Process?

Is it possible to filter on Develop Process? For those using LR from the beginning, it would be very useful to filer and segregate images by Process year (2003, 2010, 2012) as a part of deciding if you have images you might want to re-process.

Jbm007, I was pleased to hear that the filter is there. I looked for it late at night and assumed that I had just missed it.
But when I looked today, I still don’t see it. Are you using code other that the public Beta? Additional information: Windows Vista 64bit
Drop down from my Metadata Filter:

Max processes issue (but not a processes parameter issue)

I am having ora-0020 max processes issue, but my max processes is set to 550, and I have a highwater mark of 132 processes
select * from v$resource_limit
where resource_name = 'processes';
RESOURCE_NAME CURRENT_UTILIZATION MAX_UTILIZATION INITIAL_ALLOCATION LIMIT_VALUE
processes 52 132 550 550
This is a 2 node RAC cluster, and this only happens on one of the nodes. Anyone every see anything like this ?? It looks like some sort of leak with process handles or something.

This does seem quite strange. What version are you running?
ORA-0020 does seem to be a problem at the instance level, not the underlying O/S.
$oerr ora 20
00020, 00000, "maximum number of processes (%s) exceeded"
// *Cause: All process state objects are in use.
// *Action: Increase the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter.If the problem was at the O/S level, I'd expect an ORA-12500, "TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process".

Shortening the .fla development process

hello all,
I am going to try and make a small website with flash. what I am going to try and make it look like is the cosmos (solar system, or moon landscape maybe). a planet will be a button, which will take me to another page that's playing another movie, etc...    and at the end, I am hoping to get some elements on the page to query some mysql dbs that I already have set up.
I don't know flash very well at all. actually, just today I was watching a few movie tutorials on it from lynda.com. I am not surprised at all with what I saw, and it's what I expected. It looks like flash is really a more complex and time consuming process than creating a simple html website, even a dynamic one.
I was watching the tutorials and trying to think of ways to shorten the development process, learning the ropes, etc. One of them showed how you could use a movie clip to loop animation, even with one frame present, and that gave me the idea that there must be other ways too, to shorten this whole thing, or to use some tricks to get what you want faster.
I am using CS5, which I've had for awhile now, but my question is: If flash is made up of so many components and process like adding pictures, adding frames, sound, keyframes, etc, what sort of things can I do to get what I want, or close to what I want faster?
The things I already know how to do obviously, are things like browsing the web for solar system images, background sound files, etc..., so I don't have to create those things myself. Does anyone else here have more suggestions on this?
I know I am stuck with learning the program myself and obviously it has to be done.   Any suggestions on how to speed up the process of learning and such, or even suggestions on what is most relevant and not relevant in the flash program would be extremely helpful!   For instance, many flash templates that I see out there don't look complicated at all, know that I've taken a few tutorials on the program and know how it operates a little bit (and how complicated things can get!).
Thanks guys.

There is no shortcut to learning. Before you can do something faster, you have to be able to do it at all. Flash may seem complicated to you because you are unfamiliar with it, but as a web design tool it is no more complicated or time consuming than working with html/css/javascript... it might even be less intensive than them these days. What can usually take time is developing animation elements, either with or without code, but that is one aspect of Flash that you can't achieve with other technologies (as easily a least).   But like anything new, it is a mystery that requires time, effort, and patience to become adept at using it. So your best bet is to strap in and get to work.

What is software development process suitable for small team?

please advice for me a software development process for small team (about 10 members)

Good grief. The article itself is a load of old mumbo-jumbo anyway, even without the stupid acronym

I think some of the confusion with TDD discussions is that TDD is an intensified version of POUTThe author is confused. See above. And many other spatterings of rubbish throughout the article
Both do so as part of a processWoo-hoo. So anything that gets done, can be compared with anything else that gets done. Brilliant. So, POUT is similar to a standup meeting, as they're both done as part of a process. This guy's a genius.
What that means in practical terms is that we have a tough time separating the value of POUT from the value of TDDYou might have, pal. I don't.
Those of us who are happy with POUT (and looking at the extra effort needed for TDD with some distaste) are left wondering what TDD offers us that we dont already have.Proving once and for all that you never really understood TDD.
Frankly, it seems to me that were getting the goodies the TDD folk go on about just fine and without having to retrain how we develop.Frankly, it seems to me that retraining how you develop might not be a bad idea. Please furnish me with full contact details, for any future CV filtering I may have to do
Part of my problem with TDD has been that it claims to provide complete testingProblem refuted. TDD has never made that claim.
adopting TDD is a non-trivial training and practice burdenAgreed. Does that make it invalid?

Sorry. I hate people like this. I left my last job because of people like this. And he claims to be pragmatic.

Large file processing issue

Hi,
A 2MB source file is found to be generating a file of over 180 MB causing it to fail in pre prod and production. The processes successfully in Development Box where there is no web dispatcher or restrictions on size.
The recommendation from SAP is that we try to reduce the outout file size.
Kindly look into the issue ASAP.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,

TS1702 Developer wont issue a refund, keeps sending me back to iTunes, (and vice versa)

Whent through the process to repoert a problem (the app doenst work). Apple of course said to contact the developer.
I did and they told me to Conact Apple.
I told the developer that I wasnt going to do that again and was tired of going round in circles. The developer said that they have no way to issue refunds, But Apple just says "contact the developer"
I paid £3.99 for a business app that doesnt work so somebody owes me some money.
bUt I'm just playing Tenis here going back anhd forth.

If the iTunes Store has actually refused a refund and not just sent you the "canned" message telling you to contact the developer if you have problems with an app, there's probably nothing further you can do. Their terms of use say that all sales are final so a refund is never guaranteed, and sometimes they just refuse. You can try submitting the request again:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
explaining the specific problem(s) with the app and that the developer refuses support and perhaps you can get them to agree to a refund. It may take a bit of patience responding to their emails to get beyond the "canned" replies, but you may eventually get a "real" response. If that's also a refusal, then you'll be at a dead end.
Regards.
