UDF retrieval help

Hey All,
Can anyone tell me how I can properly read a UDF field from the UDF form on the purchase order screen?
Usually i just read the text value from the activeform but of course this does not work for the UDF form as it is not the active form.
A code example on how to do this would be really appreciated.

Well yes... but it's ugly...
When you open a form it gets a unique uid like "F_139"... The sidebar also get a UID, and that UID it always one higher (Sidebar for F_139 would have uid "F_140")... So with some substrings, conversion to integer, integer++ and back to a string uid you should be able to get the uid of the sidebar... problem is that if the sidebare is not active "F_140" will not exist... You can handle that using try catch or more correct check if menuitem "6913" (Userdefined Fields) is checked...
Works... Think so... Ugly... Hell yes .. I would go with the dbdatasouce solution + active-item on the main form if it was me

BBM Group Chat Message Retrieval - Help Make a Mother's Day!

Hey folks,
I recently returned from a trip abroad and while away I sent to my family various messages to a little BBM Group my younger sister help set up of what I had done the previous days. For some reason that remains to be seen, the default setting on BBM Groups is keep messages for 3 days. Needless to say, there were a few messages that my mom really liked and wants to save, but she isn't technologically inclined and they have since disappeared from her phone.
Is there any way to get these messages back? Perhaps a phone restore to a few days ago or something? Or is there someone I can call at BB or my carrier (Rogers) to get them to retrieve it? Surely it's saved on a server somewhere.
My mom woke up this morning stressed beyond belief that she's lost one message I sent in particular (the one reflecting on the trip as a whole) and she would love to be able to save it.
Thanks, and to the mothers out there: have a happy mother's day!

CS4 serial number retrieval help!

I have had a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Studio Premium Student version for a few years now, but I haven't had a computer to put it on. I recently got a MacBook Pro with OSX operating system on it and am trying to download CS4. When I go to get the serial number, it says that the coupon code is invalid. I'm not sure if the code has been used or Adobe doesn't accept codes for CS4.
Does anyone know how I can retrieve my serial number?
Thanks!

Contact support directly by web chat. You are simply behind the times. You should have gotten your serial number back then.

Steps required to create Jar in NWDS for import in XI and use in UDF. Help!

Hi !
I'm a Java newbie. I've been reading about ejbs, NWDS, etc., but don't know how to set up a project in NWDS for the purpose of creating a jar file with a java class inside with methods to be called insde a UDF in graphical mapping. I understand that the imports inside the java class depend on each case. What type of project do I need to create in NWDS? Where do I put the class methods?
Thanks,
Matias.

Hi Bhavesh !
Thats exactly what I meant. Ok, and after writing all my methods, I've noticed I can go to Project | Rebuild All, to get my ".class" files generated..
After that step, I can use the command line or a zip utility to make the .zip or .jar with all my .class files. Am I right ??
There is no "Build JAR Archive" option for this kind of project..Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Regards,
Matias.

UDF for sorting date

Hi Guys,
I am doing scenario File to Idoc, i have to sort date in acending order, the date format will be in either 22.10.2007 or 22/10/2007 . can any one send UDF for this.
Regards,
venu gopal

Hi Venu
You can execute this without UDF. Use " Transform" function in the Date functions.
When you are using the UDF....you keep the strucure as "yyyMMddhhmmss" for that clickon Trnasform function and there you can see ShowAdvancedProperties...there u can find the format of the source which you are expecting and also change the strucutre of you target expected format.
You please try this and check the mapping it will get execute.
Use Standard Date Function DATATRANS. It have the property for format and input is the source date field. It will convert the date format to required specified format which you menstion in the DARTATRANS function
for UDF
Re: UDF for this mapping rule
Re: Problem in UDF please Help?
Thanks!

Need help with user defined function

Hello SDN,
I need some help with a user-defined function. My source message contains multiple
generic records (1000 char string), and my target message is 1 header record,
then multiple generic records. See description of source and target messages below:
Source:
GenericRecordTable 1..unbounded
    Row (1000 char string)
Target:
Field1 (char5)
Field2 (char5)
Field3 (char5)
IT_Data
    GenericRecordTable 1..unbounded
      Row (1000 char string)
Basically, what I need to do in my user defined funtion is to map the first record
in my source record to the 3 header fields, then map all of the rest of the records
(starting from line 2) into the GenericRecordTable.
Can someone please help me with the code for the user defined function(s) for this
mapping?
Thank you.

hi,
Activities
1. To create a new user-defined function, in the data-flow editor, choose Create New Function (This
graphic is explained in the accompanying text), which is located on the lower left-hand side of the
screen. In the menu, choose Simple Function or Advanced Function.
2. In the window that appears, specify the attributes of the new function:
Name
Technical name of the function. The name is displayed in the function chooser and on the data-flow
object.
Description
Description of how the function is used.
Cache
Function type (see above)
Argument Count
In this table, you specify the number of input values the function can process, and name them. All
functions are of type String.
3. In the window that appears, you can create Java source code:
a. You can import Java packages to your methods from the Imports input field, by specifying them
separated by a comma or semi-colon:
You do not need to import the packages java.lang., java.util., java.io., and java.lang.reflect. since
all message mappings require these packages and therefore import them. You should be able to
access standard JDK and J2EE packages of the SAP Web Application Server by simply specifying the
package under Import. In other words, you do not have to import it as an archive into the Integration
Repository. You can also access classes of the SAP XML Toolkit, the SAP Java Connector, and the
SAP Logging Service (see also: Runtime Environment (Java-Mappings)).
In addition to the standard packages, you can also specify Java packages that you have imported as
archives and that are located in the same, or in an underlying software component version as the
message mapping.
b. Create your Java source text in the editor window or copy source text from another editor.
4. Confirm with Save and Close.
5. User-defined functions are limited to the message mapping in which you created the function. To
save the new function, save the message mapping.
6. To test the function, use the test environment.
The new function is now visible in the User-Defined function category. When you select this category,
a corresponding button is displayed in the function chooser pushbutton bar. To edit, delete, or add the
function to the data-flow editor, choose the arrow next to the button and select from the list box
displayed.

Contextual help topic link/recognition

Is adobe Captivate contextual help topic link/recognition compatible?

At present we use PeopleSoft system and the eLearning application it is linked to is UPK (both Oracle based). I have recommended to change UPK to Adobe captivate. But first need this issue addressed:
Each page in the PeopleSoft application includes a Help icon that, when clicked, opens a new browser window displaying help topics related to that page.
Universal Linking enables the hosted PeopleBooks system to search through one or more PeopleSoft product lines and return context sensitive help. This functionality makes it possible to retrieve help from PeopleTools and one or more applications(this is UPK), all using the same link you configure in the web profile of your application.
So basically I need to know if Captivate is capable of this linkage. All my files (UPK) are presently sitting on IIS webserver 7 within a web template.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

No Help content available

Hello all,
One of our users is working in Flash 8 Professional (v8.0d478
on a PowerMacG5, MacOSX 10.4.11) and is trying to do a search via
the help window (F1). All we get is a [No entries were found]
message no matter what we type in the search field.
I click the Update icon at top right of window to retrieve
help content, get a progress bar for a few seconds then get the
following error msg:
"No new help content is available."
Is it possible for me to manually retrieve help content
either via update installer file or any other means? Please advise
and Regards!

Thanks for sharing your posts.
Apparently, Adobe decided to change the function of the Help application. In CS6 this is called the Help Manager. See this post for their new design philosophy: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1000134
My best guess is that Adobe did the same for Lightroom 4, hence the local help is not available as html, and not yet as pdf: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1000134
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4390741#4390741
I do regret that there is no backwards compatibility for the help function for those who stick with CS5.5. This way, it is utterly confusing and not useful.
Cheers,
Dave

Advance UDF --- Remove Context

Hi all
I want to use RemoveContext function in UDF ...as this will be based on few conditiond.
Hence i can not use the standard removeContext node function..
can any one tell me the code for doing the same..
Sheetal

you can have a remove context functionality outside the UDF itself.
Right click the source field and change the context from the parent node to the top(root) node to remove all contexts.
Note: you can indeed ADD context etc in a UDF - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b1/83a09f668320419dbe00a741e0fe6a/content.htm
