Start point in model

hello community,
what does the start connector cause ? Is it the entry point of the model or does it just provide defaults?

Hi,
Start Point is used to give the initial start for the model(Application) .
it will submit the input values to the model and trigger the application.

Newbie! Start Point for Model

I would like to make the Start Point to my Model from a User Id from R/3 (ESS)
So for example I would like to display the Communications Infotype and display everything listed against the User Id. I found the BAPI and can output the Data. Not sure how to configure the User Id.
Help!
Thanks

Hi Stuart,
you get the user ID via user component in VC (portal user) and the for the user of your backend you can write a simple ABAP RFC function module, which returns the user from the syst structure (sy-uname). Hope that helps.

New on Game Develop - I need a Start Point :)

Hi,
I know that this must be the topic most common, I develop applications to client/Server and I want to venture me in the development of a game (RPG). The problem is that I do not know where to start! Which are the class that I must use? Already exists some api in java to help me? If yes, which are they? The map, the players. I intend to make a basic game in 2d, as lufia (SNES), Final Phantasy VI (USA III - SNES). Which must be my starting point?
Thanks for all !

The beauty of Java is, pretty much everything you need is right there available.
There are other API's apart from the java standard, but I have not used any as of yet.
Java2D API is part of the standard edition java. It will handle transparency and everything else you may need to do an snesRPG clone.
Instance modeling will save you scads of time, make sure you know how to make and extend abstract classes, they will make your life easier, make sure you know how to time Threads properly.
The map will be a class, the class will actually serve as a sort of database for inividual tiles on the map. The class will be instanced from a 2 dimensional array with x and y values being the dimensions. You will need to have 3 or four layers of this map. The class will store the possition, image, and other important iformation about the individual tile.
You need to learn MediaTracker, you will most likely want to use AWT instead of Swing, you will need to learn how to use BufferedImage, etc.
Plan Plan Plan, and Plan more. RPG's are big projects, if you use linux, dia is your friend.
Work on little things like logic while you learn the other stuff you need such as Randoms, how to implement monsters and characters, and make them do battle, how to tell if they are dead, attacking, etc.
An RPG takes a very stubborn individual to successfully complete as one man project, if it doesn't work, there is a reason, find out what it is, and yes it has been done before in java. :-)
I have been assuming you are a good programmer, therefore I just scartched the surface for you to show you some of the things you need to plan for to get into game programming.

LR 1.1 Improves Greatly on Image Starting Point.

Has anyone else noticed how much better LR 1.1 does compared with LR 1.0 providing the image starting point upon import? I don't think I'm dreaming it but would like some affirmations -- or NOT.
I use a 20d and a linear tone curve.

Fred
Think you might just be right there. For broad spectrum images I do feel there is some improvement in the initial view, either that or my eye sight has improved over the last two weeks :-). Not for *Reds* though which are as terrible as ever. It's said that they chose a sample of cameras (in my case 30D) to set the calibration but I can't believe that the variance in production for the 30D was so great that the models chosen by Adobe for the calibration gave such good Reds whilst at the same time it has been mentioned time and time again on this forum that the *Reds* are just darn horrible.

Passing multiple variable values through Start Pointer

Hi,
I have a company code variable in my BI query, at initial run of the VC model i want to exclude multiple company codes through start pointer, how can i write exclude condition for multiple values through company code variable field value input in start pointer, I don't want to change my BI query.
please help me on this
Thanks in advance

You should build string with following syntax and pass it to the start point:
:[Value(End - optional)]:Operator:I (Includes) or E (Excludes)
Available Operators:
·         EQ u2013 Equal to
·         GE u2013 Greater than or equal to

Using Start Point with Date-objects

Hi Expert guys and girls!
I use the "Start" point to execute my BAPI "Salesorder GetList" / BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST.
In order to use this BAPI you have to define
1) Customer Number
2) Sales Org
and optionally I checked also
3) Document Date
4) Document Date To
I fill in the values for all the fields. Using formulas for all - which works fine otherwise.
My Date - formulas are designed to retrieve the last 3 months.
ad 3)
DVAL(DADD(NOW(),-3,'M'))
4)
DVAL(NOW())
(I added the DVAL in front, but still I do not get any effect)
Problem is now that the model retrieves ALL records for the logged in Customer No. and Sales Org. NOT limiting data to the specified date-interval. This takes a long time and is certainly not what I expected.
I run SP14 - anybody had any experience in SP15 - maybe it is a simple upgrade?
Or am I missing something in parsing the dates??
Best regards
Jakob Diness

I got it to work with a little effort.
1) Try parse fixed-dates (e.g. 08.08.2008) as Start and End dates. When that works, replace first the Start date then the end-date with DADD formulas like DADD(NOW(), -3, 'M') and NOW() in the End-date for example (going three months back in the example).
2) Maybe you need to try with the Flex compiler instead of Flex 2 - since that was also not working for me in other cases. (Tools/Options/Compiler - change to Flex)
3) Otherwise - pls. let me know. I somehow got it to work in my customer model.

Get filename from Watched folder start point

I have a watched folder as a start point and I can use the
symbols %F and %E in order to save the output documents in the Result folder.
This is easy.
What I cannot do, is getting in a string variable the same filename in order to use it within the Process:
Is it possible?
I would like to exploit this filename to discriminate the activities that the file have to make...
Thanks you as usual!

thank you Jasmin, your answer is correct and now it works!
only I don't understand why my way didn't work...
Instead of a setValue, I used directly a INSERT SQL activity with getDocAttribute(/process_data/@docXML, "basename") as parameter: as is, it didn't work!
As you suggest, if I put a setValue between the Watched folder startpoint and the INSERT SQL activity (now with the populated string as parameter), it works...
Bah!
Thank you again!

Changing the Media Start point

So I just had a hard drive crash on me and I did not have back-ups of my footage. It's not to bad because I have back-ups of the project file I was working on. So all I was going to do is a Batch Capture to reconnect all of my clips. Only problem is the person I had capture the footage did not leave enough pre-roll when they did a capture now. So now when it tries to re-capture it says "Cannot locate specified timecode"
This is because there is not enough pro-roll on the clip to allow it to batch capture. When I look at the Media Start in the browser window for the clip it says it starts at 00:00:02:31. I need to change this to a later start so it does not try to roll the tape so far back. So.....
How do I change the Media Start Point???
Thanks

Ok, I am following you, I just need to make sure the clips in the edited timeline reconnect with the old master clip.
I could keep the old offline master clip and just make it reconnect to the new captured clip. But will this make all of my already edited clips in my sequence that are looking at the old master clip off by however many seconds I had to reset the in-point to get the tape re-captured?
Thanks for the tip on dragging clips to the L&C window, I did not know you could do that.

Don't know how to set an interactive form as starting point?

Hi all,
I need to have a scenario where the starting point of a guided procedure is an interactive form.
I've made an interactive form in Adobe Designer and saved it as .xdp
I've made a callable object from it, add it to an action and add the action into a process.
Now when I initiate a new process in runtime I only see the input fields from the form in a Web Dynpro like design and not the actual form itself.
I thought it was just a simple handling to start a guided procedure process with an IF but it appears not to be for me.
Can somebody help me please?

The input parameters you are seeing in a 'Web Dynpro like' form are more than likely input parameters to the process. Process input parameters come from action input parameters in process blocks and actions that are not mapped. Given that, it sounds like you have not mapped all the input parameters for one or more of your actions in your process. By default, GP provides the process initiator the ability to specify the values of these inputs when a process is started. To avoid this you can either,
1. Map all the input parameters.
2. Specify the process to start automatically under the 'Instantiation' tab for the process template. By selecting this, input parameters are ignored and their default values used.
3. Don't expose these parameters if they are not required or applicable to your process. This can be done at the action or block level under the 'Parameters' tab.

How can I get the mail body of the start point mail

Hi,
I am using 'MailStartPoint' activity to fetch mails using POP3 protocol. It is fetching the mail successfully. Now, how can I read the different parts of mail message such as Subject, Body in variables.
Thank You,
Hali Gerorge.

You need to set data types values as below for reading the mail.
%SUBJECT%
%BODY%
%HEADER%
%SENDER%

Controlling the execution of start points in different nested iViews

Hi,
I have an application in which a tabstrip displays a single nested iView within each tab. Each of the nested iViews loads data via a BI Query data service. A start point in each iView specifies the initial parameters to load the query data.
I would like the start point for a particular iView to be executed only when the user selects the tab that contains that iView. However, at the moment, when the application starts up, ALL of the iView start points are executed, resulting in a long wait. There doesn't appear top be a way to check if a particular tab has been clicked by the user and then only execute the start point for the tab's iView based on this.
I would appreciate any suggestions for implementing the above requirement.
Regards,
Mustafa.

Hi KK,
It seems there is no way to trigger events/actions from tab selections. However, you can try the following workaround to simulate the same effect:
[https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/iT0 |https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/iT0 ]
The approach taken is to replace the tab strip with a series of buttons in a form which then control the visibility of nested iViews and trigger the appropriate queries.
Regards,
Mustafa.

Help with starting point for "proof of concept" integration

We are a third party application provider and are attempting to figure out how to do a "proof of concept" integration with SAP. We are not looking for "certification". Our product does not appear to fit any of the standard certifications for integration and our experience integrating with other systems indicates that no two integration will be identical.
We are looking to do a simple integration scenario with an SAP system so we have some basic experience doing it, can say 'Yes" when asked if we have done it, and can create a video showing a transaction being done in SAP and our system also updating (and ideally the reverse).
Our starting point with respect to SAP knowledge is "0".
Our basic task list (we think) goes something like
1. Figure out the version and modules of SAP with which we should be integrating
2. Get access to an SAP system (do we rent, is there a developer/evaluation, ...)
3. Put some data in the test system (is there a "sample data" set?)
4. Figure out the SAP transactions that map to the business process in which we are interested (moving goods in and out of a distribution center/ware house - are there some "standard business process guides")
5. Integrate (we are a .NET web based application so we are guessing this means use the ".Net Connector")
Could anyone point out any resources (white papers, links, people, places to find people,...) that might be a good starting point?
Thanks,
John

Athol,
We are looking to recieve notifications out of SAP as tractor trailers at a dock are filled as proof on concept. The actual integration scenarios we do are more complex and do not match well with any of the pre-packaged certification scenarios. The real world integration scenarios actual vary substantially from customer to customer in terms of the integration points between systems.
As we have become more marginally knowledgable about SAP, I think we will end up receiving and sending "IDOC" messages from SAP but have no idea what those IDOC messages are or where to start looking for what a "standard" (if there is one) message SAP would generate in reaction to whatever the "trailer is loaded" transaction is.
To figure out what the transaction is, I assume we need to identify what version of SAP we should be targeting for a simple integration. Are there any could references on what the commonly integration methods are and to which versions they apply?
Something like "hey, if you do an integration with a IDOCs in with SAP Netweaver 2004 then that would good proof you could integrate with 90% of the installed SAP base". Of course, any links explaining what the versions of SAP are and where they are in there lifecycle and what people are actually using would be helpful.

Can't reset project start point

I decided to add a four bar introduction to a song in logic, and dragged the 'project start' point back to -3 bars. Then I realised when I bounced, it began from 0, so I just selected all and moved everything forward four bars.
Now, I know I could have used cycle to set my own start and end points for the bounce, but now that I have everything starting at 0, why can I not bring back the project start point to 0? It stays at -3, and I hate having to wait 4 bars for my song to start after I hit O to play the song from the top.
Can anyone help? Many, many thanks if possible. I'm extremely frustrated!

Because there maybe is Automation happening before the 1 1 1 1 point. So open any Automation event list with a Keycommand - hit command+1 - a new Arrange page opens displaying the Automation regions - cut those regions at 1 1 1 1 with the scissor tool or by selecting them all and using the Keycommand for "cut at playhead position" and then delete everything before 1 1 1 1.

Windows Application Starting Point

Does a basic (and best practice) framework (or netbeans like project) exist for a java windows application that would include menuing and initial windows classes?
I have decided to create a application in java and it will be a windows gui application. I understand how to do this but it seems like this would be something someone else has already done. Kind of a starting point for an application. Does something like this exists? I searched online but didn't find anything. Maybe this is because I'm not sure what I'm asking for.

I haven't seen any nice GUI frameworks for Java, beyond what Java already gives you. It would depend somewhat on what the app does. And you have to decide if you want to use Swing or SWT. Based on a previous thread, it would seem there are also some GUI builder tools out there, if you don't want to hand code it, but they won't produce very nice code; they just help prevent you from having to write it yourself. If this is your first jump into Java GUI, here is a quick Hello World app I just threw together in using Swing; it's a starting point anyway, and might help you get going:
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class HelloWorld {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // Code that affects the GUI should be run on the Event Dispatch thread;
          // Calling launchUI() using SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...) takes care of this.
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    launchUI();
     private static void launchUI() {
          final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hello World");
          JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World!");
          panel.add(label);
          panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(20, 20, 20, 20));
          JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
          JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
          JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit");
          menuItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                    // This action will be fired when the Exit menu item is selected;
                    // firing off a Window Closing event is basically the same thing
                    // pressing the window close button in the corner does.
                    WindowEvent windowClosingEvent = new WindowEvent(frame, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING);
                    frame.getToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(windowClosingEvent);
          menu.add(menuItem);
          menuBar.add(menu);
          frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
          frame.setContentPane(panel);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);     // this centers the frame
          frame.setVisible(true);
}
