Typical Repository setup for multiple developer environment.

I'm having trouble finding documentation on setting up a
development environment for several developers using Repository.
I currently have a Global Shared Workarea set up with some
Forms .fmb files that I would like to share. What method should
the developer who wants to work on one of these files use to
perform a check out of the file? When a file is checked out, is
it moved to a Private Workarea or is it downloaded to the
developers hard drive? Within Forms Builder there is a check out
option under File->Administration, but as far as I can tell,
there is no way to browse the Repository to find the file that
needs to be worked on. I'm able to use the Repository Object
Navigator to locate the file, but when I check it out I'm not
sure how to work on it within Forms Builder. Do I need to
download the file to my hard drive, or is Forms Builder able to
work on the file within the Repository?

Tom,
Nice set of questions.
I suggest you allow each developer to create their own workarea,
these will be private, until they are shared to other developers.
For a simple environment the workarea rule will be latest(main).
Check your fmb files into the Repository, they will then appear
in any workarea that has the rule latest on main. You will also
need to make the folder they reside in available to public, or
grant access to individual users.
Each developer should map the folder to a particular clientside
directory. I suggest you apply some standards across development
machines to avoid confusion. A mapping to d:\forms would be
ideal. On checkout of an fmb it will be synchronized with the
local file system. The form can then be opened from he Forms
Builder. You are correct that there is no For Builder Repository
browser, you must use the RON. Once the form is open in the
Forms Builder it may be checked in and out. You will need to go
back to the RON to perform diff/merge and dependency analysis.
I suggest you ask 2 developers to work on the same fmb and see
how the repository handles this. Try merging fmb files,
hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised.
Note that to add files to a checked in folder you must check it
out. To make the changes available to other workareas you must
check the folder back in.
Have a look at the commandline tool. We use a lot of scripts to
assist setup and build releases.

Using Acrobat SDK for Unix development environment

Hi,
Can it be possible for me to use Acrobat SDK for Unix development environment as a server application??If yes, what are the things that should be installed on the client side to make sure that the client should be able see the produced PDF files?? Kindly help me in this regard..

My customer's solution has several issues generating PDF files and we are looking at the Acrobat SDK as at the instance of the final truth.
I use Interop.Acrobat.dll as a .NET project reference to open and resave PDF documents. I'd like to do all things I mentioned above.
After years and years, I have concluded that if you do serious PDF development, you need a set of libraries. For instance, if you are doing typesetting type of work ("vertical center", "horizontal center", "margin", etc., etc) , there is an excellent library from a guy in Germany (land of Johannes Gutenberg and printing presses)...
... which turned out to be useless in my next project which dealt with AcroForms.
I know exactly what you mean by "the final truth", sometimes I wish Adobe had some sort of official validating tool (like XML does).
Per your comments, I would recommend you to consider this library. It is available in all languages and its output is the same quality as Adobe's or at least in the same league:

If you want to comment further, we must go to a different forum, since we are not supposed to discuss any non-Adobe products here.

How to setup JDeveloper 9.0.4.0 for iStore development environment?

I am new to iStore and JDeveloper.
I want to use JDeveloper as a development environment for making the UI customizations to iStore. Unfortunately the only documentation I could find is dated April 2002 for JDeveloper 3.2.3.
Has anyone been able to configure JDeveloper 9.0.4.0 as the development environment for iStore (eBusiness suite) 11.5.10? I want to be able to run/test the JSPs locally before deploying onto the development server, but cannot find documentation on how to do it for the latests releases of iStore/JDeveloper.
Thanks.

You need to download and install the OA Framwork Extension (patch 4045639 for windows).
Have a look at the Metalink Note:275880.1 (OA Framework 11.5.10 Doc Roadmap), this gives more details.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Multiple Developer Environement

All,
Has anyone set up a development environment using WLS 5.1 for multiple developers?
We've got enough developer licenses to have everyone with a local copy of WLS but
we need to be able to access a central repository for the webapp.
What we want to do is have the WLS be able to deploy the web app at start up, but
if it can't find the class required in the web app class path, find a copy on the
central repository.
In JBuilder you can have hierarchical source files, can you do this in WLS or will
this result in ClassCastExceptions and ClassNotFoundExceptions?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Hello Mahesh,
We have a large number of CAF Entity/Application Services which
logically relate to each other so we need to put them all in one CAF DC.
The development work is distributed to several developers.
If what we experienced stands true and can not be changed, the development
productivity is largely constrained.
In SAP Note #928315 "CAF 7.0 SP7 Explanation of CAF-JDI integration
questions", IMO, it says that as long as the modified files in each developer's
actvity does not overlap, concurrent modifications by multple people
to one CAF DC is allowed.
Supposedly there is a solution for this.

Exchange setup for multiple domains

We are planning to deploy Exchange server 2013, We have two companies and would like to create Email box for both the companies with same name.
Example : [email protected], [email protected]
We would like to have separte email boxes for the both companies. Please suggest us accordingly.

That should be simple enough. Exchange can handle having multiple domains for sending / receiving and users can have multiple mailboxes configured in Outlook. The name field in Exchange doesn't need to be unique (the account name does obviously), so for
instance there's no issue having "Fred Bloggs" <[email protected]> and "Fred Bloggs" <[email protected]> both setup.
In a way the trickier part is setting it up in Outlook since different versions react differently. If you're using Outlook 2013 it should be quite straight forward. As you can see here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee815819.aspx the manual setup is easy enough for multiple exchange mailboxes, though auto mapping should work as well. If you're in a network AD
environment (eg connecting using your local password), then realistically you'll want one mailbox to be primary which is associated to your network login, and then that login to have full access and send as permissions on the second mailbox.
You may also need to deploy a reg key change to enable saving sent items from the second mailbox into that mailboxes sent items folder rather then the primary mailboxes (assuming you want to keep messages two and from both domains separate and in their own
mailboxes). The reg key is listed here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2843677 and is definitely needed in Outlook 2007 and 2010 but I'm not sure if it's still an issue if you're using Outlook 2013.

New database setup/configuration in development environment- 10g ,OpenSuse

We have a db in prod environment with following info and we required to setup a development database which should similar to that of prod db.
prod db info:
DB version: 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
OS version: SUSE SLES 10
Size of DB: 1676 GB
configuration is RAC
we have very limited access to prod db and don't know exactly how many instances are configured in cluster/ RAC.
Can you please suggest best configuration that needs to be done on development system, how many days work and etc. .
1. would freely downloaded oracle software able to accomodate this?
2. Is single instance db is enough to hold huge size db as there will be less number of user connections.
4. WHAT are all the configuration settings (disk space, ram size, etc) would you suggest to me to have on development environment.
we are planing to import prod dumps via either imp or impdp.. any other method you suggest us to do so..
no link between prod and development systems.
and if any other info please share and help me out.

1. would freely downloaded oracle software able to accomodate this?The freely downloadable software is the same as the base level of the purchased software. But you need to be aware of license restrictions. Just because it is a "test" system doesn't mean you don't need a purchased license. And without a support contract, you do not get access to patches.
2. Is single instance db is enough to hold huge size db as there will be less number of user connections.Multiple instances (RAC) have nothing to do with the size of the db.
4. WHAT are all the configuration settings (disk space, ram size, etc) would you suggest to me to have on development environment.This is totally dependant on local factors. "Test", "development" or "production" have no bearing on any of these factors.

No link at all? How do you plan to get the dump files from the prod server to the dev server?

What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

I'd like to know this to.
We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
She has a nice macbook ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
This iCloud seems not too suited.
For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

Entry Channel setup for multiple company codes

Hello,
I have a question regarding the entry channel setup (for external requirements in the Plan-Driven Procurement scenario)
In previous implementations, I 've created an entry channel below each company code (as the documentation says it should be). Now, for each entry channel, there was a EBP user assigned, which corresponded to an RFC entry in the backend system (I was connecting EBP to multiple backend systems)
Now, what should I do in the following scenario?:
1. SRM is only connected to one backend system
2. There are 50 company codes
Does that mean I have to create 50 users (for each channel) plus 50 RFC connections in the R/3 system (each with a different user in the backend system), pointing to the same SRM system?
I was thinking of creating an Org iD in the SRM structure at the top (which would be the entry channel), assign only ONE user to it and then fill attribute BUK with all the company codes. However, I don't know if this will work, because the external requirement process might need the company code defined in the "Function" tab... =/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gilberto.

Hi Proyecto Genesis,
I am also configuring the Entry channel (org unit) for multiple company codes.
I tried your logic of defining the entry channel outside company code level. Assigned the BUK attribute and extended attribute for plants and storage locations.
Also in my case the local Pur org and Pur group is defined outside the company code. Is it correct?
However the system fails to transfer the external requisition to SRM.
SLG1 displays following error message.
"No address found for partner function type Ship-To Address"
So if I move the Entry channel (org unit) under any one company code level then the external requisitions are transferred correctly to SRM.
But then the issue is the requirements are not transferred with the backend Pur Org and Pur grp. Instead they are transferred to the Pur Org and Pur grp of the company code under which the entry channel is defined.
Can you please share how do we need to define the entry channel, local pur org and pur grp for multiple company codes scenario, so that the ECC requisitions are transferred with the correct company code, pur org and pur grp to SRM?
Or do we need to define Entry channel for each company code and RFC user actually mapping the same backend system?
Please guide.
Regards,
Sandeep

Looking for Integrated Development Environment

I am new to Mac programming and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good IDE (Integrated Development Environment)? I tried downloading a version of XCode but it works only for OS 10.4 and I am using 10.3.9. Also, I ordered the book "Beginning Mac OSX Programming" by Trent and McCormack. Is it a good book to start with, or did I waste my money? Thanks in advance.

I have that book and I've found it useful. It provides a basic introduction to Xcode and a number of the languages available. However, if you want to learn a particular language, then you may need a language-specific book.
Have you any particular language in mind that you are wanting to learn/use?
Also, is there any reason for not upgrading to 10.4.9 (which is the latest version of the OS)? At least with the latest release, you will have many bugs fixed and the current discussions will all relate to any new ones.

Disk Space for PSoft Development Environment?

Can anyone tell me the approximate amount of disk space needed for an HRMS PSoft Development Environment?
I'm looking to create a standalone environment on one computer (no separate server), and am looking for sizing of HRMS application (8.9 or 9.0) + demo database + Oracle database + PTools + app server + web server + db server + process scheduler + PeopleBooks.
I know there are other issues, e.g. supported OS and how to get this set up, but right now I just need sizing for the basics above (have I forgotten anything?).
Thanks.

ECC 6.0 Webdynpro for ABAP development environment

Hello,
We are currently running ECC 5.0 and ABAP stack is only available as of ECC 6.0. Is is possible to download and install just ECC 6.0 development environment?
Thanks,
Alex

The ABAP development environement and runtime are integrated into the Business Suite release. Therefore ECC 5.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 2004 (6.40) and ECC 6.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 7.0. There is no way to directly mix ECC/NetWeaver releases nor can you directly transport NetWeaver 7.0 objects (like Web Dynpro ABAP) to a 6.40 based system since the runtime wouldn't be present.
You can however install a standalone NetWeaver Systems. Then you would have a separate instance with the ABAP 7.0 developement and runtime environement. You can use RFCs and Web Service Calls from this standalone system to read and write data to/from your ECC 5.0 system. You give up some of the benefits (like the integrated DDic value-help).

HT2500 email setup for multiple devices of same user

I am trying to set up email on my imac, iphone4, and mac book so that I can access and manipulate or delete emails on one device without affecting the email on the others. I do not know if I use pop on my main machine, imap on macbook and mobile.my.email on the phone.

While you can share access to a mail server from multiple clients (that's the default set-up for folks with multiple clients), your actions conducted from one client will effect what the other clients see.
If you're downloading mail messages from the server to storage on one client, then the other clients won't then have access to those messages. If you delete a message from the server, the other clients will no longer find the message on the server.
If you want these clients to be completely independent, then you'll need to set up several different users, and use one on each client.
POP is a comparatively poor choice here as that typically downloads messages from the server to the client.
Choosing IMAP is "newer" than POP, and usually a better choice.
For your outbound mail, use of the submission port (TCP 587) is recommended. Don't use SMTP port 25.
You're going to get to learn a little more about this stuff including about your current configurations, or you'll want to find somebody that can assist you with setting this up in your environment - the POP or IMAP and mail submission set-up is often specific to a particular mail server. Apple's Mail Setup Assistant might be helpful.

Track setup for multiple independent projects

Hi,
We have to develop two separate projects in NWDI. Both projects are Web Dynpro based, independent of each other and developed by different development teams. We need the ability to maintain and deploy the projects independently. What is the recommended way on creating the track(s) for this scenario?
Should we create separate tracks for each project? OR should we create one single track and two SCs with in the track (one for each project)? If we go with 2nd option, can we grant authorization to developers at SC level (as different development teams will be working on these projects)? What is the recommended way of creating track(s) when working on multiple projects?
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
it's not so bad. After initial setup of those tracks, there is not a lot of maintenance to do. We are running a NWDI here with 21 tracks...
There are some ways to consolidate thinks. If there are several projects with the same runtime systems, you can for example setup one delivery track for your production system and transport track connections to this track from all development tracks. In this way you can have a easy overview in system state of this tracks, on what was trasnported to your production system. And you can secure your production system from developer access this way; if your are going for SOA conform setup of your projects.
Kind regards
Jan

BOGO Modifier setup for multiple items

Regarding the BOGO (buy one, get one free) promo we can set up easily. We have a situation where to set-up a BOGO in which there is one or more “buys” and but only one “get”.If there is a case where there are many “gets” though (e.g. Buy “A” and get “X”, “Y” or “Z” for free) what is the best way to setup the promotional modifier?
IS there a way where we can configure a modifier like buy A item, and user should be able to select either “X”, “Y” or “Z” item?
One thought was to set-up the multiple “get” options as related items at $0 or is there a better way to setup?
Thanks,
Rishi

Hi Rishi,
Sorry to ask for information on your question only but is there a way you can send me details on how to setup BOGO? (Simple condition what you have mentioned i.e. Buy 1 Get 1)

How to setup for multiple users accessing same share?

Hi!
Recently picked up Mac Mini Server and have some configuration questions related to sharing files & information over the internet. Whenever possible, prefer to use the built-in features & tools, not 3rd party tools.
My setup & needs are this:
- Have folders & sub-folders with files to share.
- Wish to give individuals access to the shared folders, each with their own account (and access logging).
- Shared folder and files should be visible via web to authenticated users only (so no special client or setup is needed).
Right now, have added a Website via Server.app that points to the folder with files to share, and that works somewhat, but doesn't support individual user accounts separately?
Thought maybe to setup VPN but that seems like massive overkill for this (and is a pain in the butt for non-technical users to setup).
Editing httpd.conf for user support is a possibility, but seems /etc/apache2/httpd.conf only applies to the default web server (on port 80) not the one i set up in Server.app?
Can anyone recommend the best approach, given the above needs?

I have a related question. i created 2 websites/domains then i went to users and created 2 seperate "network" users then i went to ftp and selected each website and added only user A to site A and user B to site B. what's weird is that when i try to ftp using either of the users it seems to land on the same site. i looked at shared security for the folders and it only shows user a on site a folder and user b on site b folders. am i doing somehitng wrong or is this how it works in mountain lion server? i just want to give the domain owner ftp access so they can manage their files and only thier files. i also had to turn on open directory so that it would not create a local user but a network user. do i need to turn that off and just deal with having a bunch of local users as ftp user? i want to host multiple websites on the server and NO users remote on to server besides ftp.
edit 1: i only have 1 IP running on the server which i don't think it has any affect on this but thought i mention it :-)
edit 2: i just noticed one more thing that may help. i used filezilla to remote in using both users, one at a time. it seems to allow both users in but then it shows same directories. i then created a file using the one that was not supposed to have acces and it never sows up. but if i remote desktop to server i can see the new file in the correct folder. so it may have something to d o with the directory listing.
