[Table access] RFC with XML

Hi everyone,
The idea is to be able to read/write a table in the backend system (would it be R/3 or BW) from the Visual Composer.
In a first attempt, I managed to do it by creating 2 RFCs: one for reading the table, another for modifying it. It works quite well.
Problem
1) Let's say I want to do it for a large number of tables: Do I have to build as much RFCs as there are tables ?
In other words: Is there a way to do it generically ?
-> I did it in BSP but it is much simple since we can use reference (TYPE REF TO DATA)
Bad idea
1) Concatenate all fields in a string
-> Read: a lot of actions have to be performed to display the string in the tableview
-> Write: ok as long as there is only string fields but as soon as there is something else, it a nightmare
Good Idea ?
1) Let's use XML to wrap fields up. It will be quick and easy by using CALL TRANSFORMATION on the backend
Question: How do we transform our XML to fit into the VC tableview ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
I had the same problem a few months ago. There is no way to use a generic structure in VC. A workaround was my solution. I added a structure in SE11 with several strings. Each string for a column with values. This is not the best solution, but another isn't possible atm.
XML is an alternative, but I never read something about using it in VC with tables. I think there is also the problem with the generic structure. At designtime VC doesn't know the structure of the XML file. When you use queries you can use define/test data service -> execute -> generate for each model.
If somebody knows, if it is possible with XML, please give us a hint. I hope Mario will read this thread.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Complete table view controller with XML

Hello, I'm from Brazil and am new to ios.
Today I am making an example where I use a table view controller and fill it witharray (NSMutableArray).
However I would do the same using XML so that now, I'm having so many difficulties to the point of not knowing where to start.
The code I use to populate this array was.
It is possible to use something like XML?
#pragma mark - View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
    // self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;
    // Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
    // self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
    registros = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"1", @"2",@"3",@"4",@"5",@"6",@"7",@"8",@"9",@"10",@"11",@"12",@"13",@"14", nil];
- (void)viewDidUnload
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 1;
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return [registros count];
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"listax";//este é o identificador da celula
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    cell.textLabel.text = [registros objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    return cell;

If you have a custom XML schema (not a plist), consider two approaches.
1. Before showing your table view, use NSXMLParserto deserialize the XML document into an NSMutableArray that will be the table view data source. Typically the array contains custom class instances; one or more class properties are used to set table cell properties in cellForRowAtIndexPath. If you have never worked with NSXMLParser (or any other SAX parser) before, start by creating a sample app so you understand how that works.
2. Use a 3rd-party DOM parser like GDataXML. Load your XML document into a class property in your table view's viewDidLoad. Then the XML document will be the table view data source since elements and attributes can be directly queried using XPath in cellForRowAtIndexPath. If you have never worked with XML DOM and XPath before, start by creating a sample app so you understand how that works.
If your have a lengthy complex XML document, option #1 might be more efficient because indexed array access is faster than XPath queries. Theoretically that is why Apple's Cocoa provides DOM support on OS X but not iOS. There are strategies to improve efficiency if necessary, including your own indexing scheme. The best solution depends on many factors. For example, if your XML document includes thousands of rows, but users rarely scroll past the first 10, option #1 would waste time parsing everything.
Both of these approaches keep all data in memory, which is fast but not friendly. Perfectly fine for reasonably sized data sets.

How to Create a Table in Oracle with XML data type.

Dear ALL,
What are the requirements for creating a table with xml datatype in Oracle: The steps would help very much to know the scripting of the table and how to query and either insert/update and remove data from that table.
Any help, direction, advise would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Reffer to this Note.243554.1.
In a nut shell you will need to run catqm.sql

Authorize table access aligned with e.g. MOLGA

Hi everybody,
Is there any possibility to create some R/3 standard authorization to:
- Give access only to specific tables (e.g. T510)
- Does this only work via authorization groups?
- If yes, it is possible to assign more than one authorization group to SAP standard tables?
- To let an user only maintain entires belonging to e.g. his/own MOLGA code
Example:
User can only maintain entries for T510 for MOLGA 04.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Please find below answers on your questions:
- Give access only to specific tables (e.g. T510)
Yes, via authorization group. Object S_TABU_DIS, configuration of groups in table TDDAT.
- Does this only work via authorization groups?
Normally, yes. But you can restrict access to tables via general transactions, like SM31, SM30, SE16, etc. and allow to maintain/view tables via custom transactions. Then you shift table access to transaction level. In this case you will have to create all those transactions and assign them in S_TCODE object.
- If yes, it is possible to assign more than one authorization group to SAP standard tables?
No, in table TDDAT table name is key field, so only one entry per table is allowed.
- To let an user only maintain entires belonging to e.g. his/own MOLGA code
Yes, this is possible. You can use standard SAP authorization abject S_TABU_LIN. Before using it you have to activate it. Please check following SAP help link for more details/
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/6d/56cdd3edabc14ebd1bc84dae20dec8/content.htm
I hope it will help you.

Mapping with xml-schema XML-data to relational tables

Hello,
is it possible to map data from xml documents to relational tables with xml-schema?
I mean not in nested tables but in relational tables with primary and foreign keys!
With SQL Server 2005 it is very easy, I dont believe that Oracle couldn't do this!
I searched but i cant find anything about that!
Thx
user445232

indeed, oracle does this for xml schema based xmltype data, however, these underlying tables are not accessable to the application. Maybe It should for next version, so folks who like to use relational model can use it without mapping it manually.
Actually, nested tables, are the same, their underlying tables (segments) are indeed relational tables, oracle manages them internally and not visiable to the application. You can find them in the user_segments, user_objects views though.

Dynamic Table with XML Schema

Hi, I am new to livecycle and wondering if there is any sample for setting up the dynamic table with XML schema so I can access the data through workbench's xpath. thanks.

Ivor,
Take a look at the samples shipped with Designer. For 8.2.1 release take a look at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\LiveCycle Designer ES\8.2\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Schema\Schema\Purchase Order.xsd
and the form samples.
Otherwise, forward a request to [email protected] I would be happy to send you a sample XDP with a dynamic table and a schema.

I used DOM to parse the XML document but my only problem is in finding an algorithm that I should follow to fill in these tables!! so HOW!! I'm a bit confused??
Any help or advice will be highly appreciated!

For each of your elements, build a class representing the object. All your classes should have a method
to create an instance of the class from an XML node (i.e. public static Object fromXML(Node)), and also
a 'full constructor' (with parameters for all members of the class.
Then, build utility classes to hold the table access.
Short example for table DATEE:
public class Datee {
 private int id;
 private byte day, month, year;
 public Datee(int id, byte day, byte month, byte year) {
 this.id = id;
 this.day = day;
 this.month = month;
 this.year = year;
 public static Object fromXML(Node node) {
 NamedNodeMap attributes = node.getAttributes();
 String strid = attributes.getNamedItem("id").getNodeValue();
 String strday = attributes.getNamedItem("day").getNodeValue();
 String strmonth = attributes.getNamedItem("month").getNodeValue();
 String stryear = attributes.getNamedItem("year").getNodeValue();
 try {
 id = Integer.parseInt(strid);
 day = Integer.parseInt(strday);
 month = Integer.parseInt(strmonth);
 year = Integer.parseInt(stryear);
 catch(Exception e) {
 return new Datee(id, day, month, year);
}Its of course the simplest example. If instance contains other object instances, just use its fromXML() method to create it.
Hope this helped,
Regards.

Export table access to oracle with Database ODBC()

Hi,
I export a table, access 2003, ent_tab whit 'DataBase ODBC()' to oracle.
I open Oracle SQL Developer and i can show table ent_tab, but i go worksheet and execute:
select * from ent_tab
and display error: ORA-00942...
Why??!!
Regards
Jomar

Because ODBC created the table with "" which allowed lower case table name, but Oracle uses upper case table name by default. Suggest you recreate the table with upper-case name to avoid having to use "" in select statements.

Problem with Table Access Full

Hi,
Please help me how to resolve the problem of table access full, when i am executing query i facing a problem with these. all though i have create index on these is queru but execution time taking too late.
Also please help if there any syntax to run faster execution.
Thanks in Advance
Sreenivas

Hi,
Please try to analyze your tables once with DBA's help.
If the above does not work, try to use hints which will force use the index created on the column.
Do not use any conversion functions on that column, in the where clause while checking any condition.
If you are storing numbers in a character column, try to have the conditional value as character value in where clause instead of number type.
Thanks and Regards,
Sridhar.

Accessing Java webservice (XML over http) via WCF or HTTP adapter with content-type and authorization HTTP headers with POST method

Hi Team,
I need to access Java web service which is simple service and accepts and returns XML over HTTP. No credentials are needed to access the service. We need to pass following two HTTP headers (Content-Type and Authorization) along with XML request message:
<GetStatus> message is being constructed in the orchestration and URI is constant to access.
Which adapter shall I use to get the response back? I tried using WCF-WSHttp with Security Mode = Transport, and different options of client credential types but every time, error returned stating:
System.Net.WebException:
The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Basic'. The
authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm='.
Authentication failed for principal Basic. Message payload is of type:
String
In Fiddler, request looks line following
POST <https://URL/GetServiceReopnse HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Authorization: Basic cmVmU3RhdHN2Y19kgeRfsdfs=
Host: <Server name>
<GetStatus XMLNS="http://server.com/.....">
<OrgId>232323</OrgId>
<HubId>3232342323</HubId>
</GetStatus>
MMK-007

First, you should not use the HTTP Adapter because it's been deprecated and replaced by WCF.
Start with the WCF-Custom Adapter and select the customBinding.
You should start with the textMessageEncoder and httpTransport and go from there.

Thanks for your time..

Hi,
A SQL query describes the result set you want; it does not show how the system gets those results. Don't expect how the query code looks to have much to do with what the system will do. For example, the fact that the code only says "teacher" 1 time doesn't mean that the teacher table will only be scanned 1 time.
Try
SELECT    teacher_id, subject
FROM      teacher
UNPIVOT   ( subject
          FOR subject_num IN ( subject_1 AS 1
                              , subject_2 AS 2
                              , subject_3 AS 3

Extracting the table access details for trans / program = RFC

Dears,
Is there a way to extract more table access details, when it is stated in trans. ST03, for the 'Table Access Statistics' that the table was used by 'Report / Transaction' : RFC ? i.e. is there a way to get the actual Report or Transaction that accessed the table ?
Thanks.

Hi,
i was also facing the same error few days back in a JDBC -RFC-JDBC Synchronous scenario. In that scenario, i was using 2 modules in JDBC sender module tab. It was working fine. later i change polling interval and then i started getting same error. it happened coz of sequence of Module got changed somehow.
So please check in Receiver JDBC adapter and SOAP sender adapter CC if anything is changed. If this scenario is working in DEV as it is then it should work after transport.
Else have a look here
Re: attribute "action" missing or wrong XML structure
JDBC - No 'action' attribute found in XML document - error
