Unique identification of LibraryObjects (persistent objects)

We're working on an application where we need to create references between iFS objects (documents, folders) and external objects.
1) Are there any identifiers which are stable over an object lifetime, even when the object is migrated to another iFS instance?
a) We assume LibraryObjectInterface is stable over the object lifetime inside a given iFS instance, but will change after export/import. Is that correct?
b) Are there any alternatives?
c) Would the iFS development team consider adding a stable key based on a GUID, much the same way that the portal team did for their latest release?

1) Are there any identifiers which are stable over an
object lifetime, even when the object is migrated to
another iFS instance?the ID of an iFS object is stable over the lifetime of the iFS schema in the database (even after the object is deleted). an object ID is never re-used in a single schema. it is NOT however, stable across instances. if you export objects and import them into another instance, the imported objects will have different IDs.
a) We assume LibraryObjectInterface is stable over
the object lifetime inside a given iFS instance, but
will change after export/import. Is that correct?what do you mean by LibraryObjectInterface? do you mean the data that is returned by the methods? or do you mean the instance itself?
b) Are there any alternatives?depends on your application and requirements. what exactly do you need to do?

How can i get the unitOfWork or the persisting object in to my listener???.

hi,
i have a listener class which extends SessionEventAdapter ....as shown below
public class MyLister extends SessionEventAdapter{
public void postCommitUnitOfWork(SessionEvent event) {
System.out.println("POST COMMIT OF WORK");
// How can i get the unitOfWork or the persisting object in to my listener???
Another class makes use of this listener by adding the listener into a getEventManager() of a session ....
public final class AetbProcessStatusClient {
public static final void main(String[] args)
{ Project project =
XMLProjectReader.read("META- INF/AetbProcessStatus.xml",
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
DatabaseSession session = project.createDatabaseSession();
MyLister myListener = new MyLister();
session.getEventManager().addListener(myListener);
session.login();
UnitOfWork uow = session.acquireUnitOfWork();
uow = session.acquireUnitOfWork();
Vector vec =
(Vector)uow.executeQuery("SQFunctionIdProcessStatus", AetbProcessStatus.class);
AetbProcessStatus processStatus = new AetbProcessStatus();
processStatus = (AetbProcessStatus)vec.get(0);
processStatus.setRunStat('E');
processStatus.setProgramSeqNo(10);
uow.commit();
now my question --> How can i get the unitOfWork or the persisting object in to my listener???....
ie the object "processStatus" into my listener

The SessionEvent's session (getSession()), should be the UnitOfWork. You can access the UnitOfWork or UnitOfWorkImpl methods to access the objects in the unit of work. getUnitOfWorkChangeSet() will return the changes made in the UnitOfWork.

Creation of Unique Number Ranges for Organizational Objects

Hi Gurus,
As per our client's requirements, We need to create unique number ranges for Organizational Objects such as O,S,P to distinguish based on the Object ID. Could you please help me out to create the same.
And also to create unique number ranges for Personnel Development Objects such as QK & Q.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Vinoth Kumar.R

Hi,
To maintain object specific number ranges, go to customising node Personnel management --> Org. management --> Basic settings --> Number range manitenance --> Maintain Number ranges
Here there will already be a default entry as $$$$.
To create different range for object say O you can use the following options:
Create entry as $$O - number range applicable to all Org units across all plan versions.
Create entry as 01O - number range applicable to all Org units under plan version "01"
Then under Interval maintenance create the desired number ranges under IN for internal or EX for external (check the external tick box for external number ranges)
In the similar manner you can create the number ranges for objects C, S , Q & QK.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Shreyasi.

Switch between transient and persistent objects?

Hi Folks,
I'm Re: transient object to persistent to ask this type of question, but couldn't find an answer.
Using persistent classes, does anyone know an elegant way to convert a transient object to a persistent one and vice versa? There is no standard functionality provided that I can see, and cloning the object results in clashing keys.
What am I trying to accomplish?
I need an object instance which <i>may</i> exist in the DB and if not, it <i>may</i> need to be saved for future use. I'm using a table with key fields K1 and K2 and the app will ask for an object instance using the full key K1+K2.
If the object doesn't find a DB record for K1K2 then it should instantiate itself with values for K1blank. Here is where I'm considering transient in order to provide the app with default functionality defined in record K1+blank.
If a write access occurs to a transient object then is should become persistent and the K1+K2 record be created.
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I written something similar working on Persistent Objects.
The only point of attention is that you cannot create a new persistent while a transient is resident in memory.
This is checked by the OS system during the creation of a new persistent:
in method CREATE_PERSISTENT of Basis Class, there is a check on the existing object:
* Precondition   : No object exists with the given business key, neither
*                  in memory nor on database.
So, you can create a new transient, fill it with the values you need and then pass this values to the agent to create a new persistent, but only after releasing the existing transient (because they will have the same key).
I've solved the problem like this:
METHOD flush.

This method is called inside a loop on a table that containes references to transient objects.
For each object I perform some tasks, and if all it's ok I raise the event PERNR_PROCESSED, which automatically calls this method FLUSH, transferring the transient to the persistent.
Return Object is the new persistent, which will be passed back to the internal table, changing the content from the transient to the new persistent.
Hope this helps,
Roby.

Problem with Persistent Object as Reference Attribute of Persistent Object

Hello All,
I have a problem with a persistent class that contains a reference attribute to another persistent class. I can write the reference object attribute to the DB but when I read the reference attribute back from the DB the object is null. Allow me to explain...
I have two tables; one is a data table with one key field of type OS_GUID, the second is a mapping table with several business key fields and two further fields; an instance GUID and a class identifier GUID. The data table is used to contain all the data for an object. The mapping table is used to hold a relationship between the GUID assigned in the data table and the business key. The mapping table has been structured in this way by following the help here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/df/e785a9e87111d4b2eb0050dadfb92b/frameset.htm
and the field mapping in persistent class for the mapping table has been mapped following the help here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/06/f23c33638d11d4966d00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
The code I use to create entries in the data and mapping table is:
<-snip->
DATA:

    gv_data_guid       TYPE        os_guid,

                       i_req_date = iv_req_date ).
      TRY.
... finally, write the new data to the data business key map table
          go_data_map_ps = go_data_map_agent->create_persistent(
                             i_data_ref     = iv_data_ref

                             i_data_guid    = go_data_ps ).    "note1
        CATCH cx_root INTO go_exc.
      ENDTRY.
    CATCH cx_os_object_not_found.
ENDTRY.
COMMIT WORK.
<-snip->
The fact that it is possible to pass the object GO_DATA_PS in the call to GO_DATA_MAP_AGENT (the line that I've put the comment "note1" on) indicates to me that the reference to the data persistent object can be written to the DB by the mapping persistent object. After executing the above code the mapping table object and class identifier fields are populated. Also, if multiple entries are written to the tables then the class identifier field in the mapping table is always the same and the object ID is different as expected.
However, the problem I have is if I read an object from the DB using the business key with the following code:
<-snip->
DATA:
    gv_req_date        type        datum,
    gv_data_guid       TYPE        os_guid,

    go_data_agent      TYPE REF TO zca_ps_data,
    go_data_map_ps     TYPE REF TO zcl_ps_data_map,
    go_data_map_agent TYPE REF TO zca_ps_data_map,
    go_exc             TYPE REF TO cx_root.
go_data_agent = zca_ps_data=>agent.
go_data_map_agent = zca_ps_data_map=>agent.
TRY.
Read data mapping with the business key
      go_data_map_ps = go_data_map_agent->get_persistent(
                         i_data_ref     = iv_data_ref
                         i_action       = iv_action ).
... then read the data.
      TRY.
          CALL METHOD go_data_map_ps->get_data_guid
            RECEIVING
              result = go_data_ps.
        CATCH cx_os_object_not_found.
      ENDTRY.
    CATCH cx_root INTO go_exc.
ENDTRY.
<-snip->
At no point during this code are the attributes of the object of the persistent class for the data table populated with the contents of the fields of the data table referenced as the attribute of the mapping table. To clarify, when viewing the object in the debugger all the attributes of the mapping object that are simple table fields are populated with the values of the fields of in the mapping table, however, the attributes of the object that represents the persistent class for the data table are not populated with the fields of the data table. I had hoped that by reading the mapping table object the data object would automatically be populated. Is there another step I need to perform to populate the data object?
I'm sorry if the above is hard to follow. Without being able to provide screenshots it's difficult to explain.
If someone has managed to store references to persistent objects in a table and then read the references back could you list the steps you went through to create the persistent classes and include the code that reads the objects please? The code I have almost works, I must be just missing some subtle point...
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Hi Andrea,
The iObject being replicated at item level for Service Complaints is the SAP standard behaviour.
Generally we raise complaint refering to some sales or service issues. In your scenario you are trying to create a complaint based on an iObject, then you have to mention the corresponding product details. I dont see any business requirement not to copy the iObject product at the item level.
If you want it then I think only you have to write a Z program for it.
Hope this helps!

Chethan

Cloning persistent objects

Does anyone know if ABAP Persistent Objects support cloning?
I can clone the object using a SYSTEM-CALL (though I'd rather not), however that would still mean breaking the rules to set the object key to a new value.
At the moment the only solution appears to be creating a new persistent or transient object via the agent and manually assigning the attributes.

Thanks Uwe. I knew about the SYSTEM-CALL but in this case it does not help.
My problem is that the object key of a persistent object does not appear to be easily modified even from within the object. I want to clone the object and then modify the key to avoid insert collisions.
So far as I can see there is no simple way of modifying the business key of a persistent object.
For now I've implemented IF_OS_CLONE~CLONE in a public method of my persistent object, created a new persistent object and manually assigned the attributes. Unfortunately the code will have to be modified whenever a new attribute is added.

Equality between primitive and persistent objects

Folks,
I have discovered by chance that the KODO Query implementation allows me
to test for equality between an Integer and a persistent object. This is
actually phenomenally useful because it allows me to easily work around
some really inefficient auto-generated SQL (see below).
I couldn't find anything about this feature in the JDO specs. Is it
accidental? Is it supported, or likely to disappear in future versions?
Dave Syer.
# 'bean' is an object already loaded from the persistence store
javax.jdo.JDOHelper.getObjectId(bean)Bean-101
# it has one mutable property, which is persistence capable
# and also a read-only property which is the database id
# (Integer) of the property:
javax.jdo.JDOHelper.getObjectId(bean.getProperty())Property-371
bean.getPropertyId()371
# get an extent for querying (pm is the PersistenceManager)
ex=pm.getExtent(Bean,0)# First do a query on property...
qu=pm.newQuery(ex);
qu.declareParameters("Property id1");
qu.setFilter("property == id1")# ...generates SQL with additional unnecessary(?) Cartesian join
# to PROPERTY table:
res=qu.execute(bean.getProperty())# resulting SQL:
# SELECT t0.PROPERTY_ID, t0.PROPERTY_ID FROM BEAN t0, PROPERTY t1
# WHERE (t0.PROPERTY_ID = 371 AND t0.PROPERTY_ID =
# t1.PROPERTY_ID)
# Now do a query on propertyId (Integer)...
qu=pm.newQuery(ex);
qu.declareParameters("java.lang.Integer id1");
qu.setFilter("propertyId == id1")# ...but parameter value is allowed to be a Property -- magically
# turned into an integer when the SQL is generated:
res=qu.execute(bean.getProperty())# resulting SQL:
# SELECT t0.PROPERTY_ID, t0.PROPERTY_ID FROM BEAN t0 WHERE
# t0.PROPERTY_ID = 371

It is accidental and unsupported.Is there any other way to get round the 'unnecessary join' issue that I
mentioned briefly in my original posting? In a real world example, I was
able to improve performance of a single query by a factor of 100 (and my
DB experts tell me there was no way to optimise indexes or anything at the
RDBMS level and achieve the same result).

Hashtable with persistent object as key and collection as value

I am trying to use a Hastable with a persistent object as the key and a
collection as the value. A long time ago, Abe White said:
"Kodo currently does not support a map in which the keys are persistent
objects and the values are collections. I think your best bet would be
to create an intermediate class that has a 1-1 relation to the "key" and
a collection of persistent objects for the "value". Then keep a
collection of these intermediate objects. You could use jdoPostLoad and
jdoPreStore to hash/unhash the collection of intermediate objects to/from
a Map if you need to."
So I made an intermediate class, which gave me a Hashtable with a persistent
object as the key and another for the value. Then the one for the value
contains the collection. This works but I'm wondering about the
performance, would this method be slower?
Also it was said that version 3.0 would support this. I'm curious if this
is available in 2.5 or if it's still planned for 3.0.
Thanks
Michael

I'm observing massive performance problems but I didn't think it could be
caused by this intermediary object but maybe that is the problem. For
example if I start a transaction to delete everything (with 3,000 records
which in turn has 3,000 records which in turn has 2 lists each) theprogram
crashes before it can finish the transaction. I then put in some loops to
delete 100 records at a time and this runs but it took over an hour to
delete the 3,000 records.
Do you have any other ideas of how to improve the performance? Are there
any alternatives?I solved the performance problem. I was storing web page content (all the
HTML) in a String which by default is in the default-fetch-group. I had
been thinking this was using lazy-loading but it wasn't. So I put
default-fetch-group=false for this property and now the performance is
great. It makes sense because it was retrieving approximately 5k of text
for each record! When deleting 3,000 records this comes out to be 14 megs.
Moral of the story: Use the default-fetch-group wisely!!

Persistent objects - base table syntax error

I've created a persistent object for a ztable, then the customer has asked me to change the counter field from numc 3 to numc 5, and also remove a field I've done this, and activated and adjusted the table in SE14.
Now, in SE24, I've gone in and adjusted the persistence mapping. When I activate the persistent class, I now get a syntax error in the base class, because it's still referring to components of the old table structure.
When we change the structure of the underlying table, do we have to delete and recreate the persistence classes? Is there a "repair" option?
( It seems it would be useful to have a tool that would generate a basic persistent class directly from a table ).
matt

Hi Matt,
There is no repair option. As far as I'm aware the persistence class builder function doesn't recognise changes to data types unfortunately. In similar circumstances I've solved the problem by deleting and recreating the class. It's not ideal but at least it's a quick process.
Regards,
Steve.

Updation of persistent object

Hi,
I'm using objects persistence. I've created a persistent class and using this for storing data in an index cluster table to use the stored data afterwards.
I've created methods for creating persistent object (using export to database), delete object and read object (using import to database).
But i'm not getting how to use update of existing stored object.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Rajesh

Persistent objects were introduced in ABAP OO in order to replace physical data manipulation via open SQL statements by more abstract OO-typical GET and SET methods for a persistent data object. Has nothing to do with Dequeue/Enqueue.
I recommend reading chapter 3 of [Next Generation ABAP Development|http://www.sappress.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H1986] for the full story.

Using SequenceFactory getNext in persistent object constructor

Collection of non-persistent objects

Greetings
Is it possible to persist a Collection of non-persistent objects through the
kodo externalization feature? The non-persistent objects themselves are
externalizable, but I don't know how I would go about persisting a
Collection of them.
..droo.

If you store them in some sort of externalized form in a single column it is
easy - just use externalization framework to ext and de-ext them to anf from
string. Couple of caveats you need to be aware of If your collection objects
are mutable:
1. You need to durty your collection field so it get prsisted on commit
2. on rollback Kodo will restore you collection content but not collection
member content. If they are mutable you will have to make their class
persistent with mapping "none" so they participate in transaction

Identification number for the object type H

Hello:
There is an infotype thats allow me to enter an identification number for the object type external person (H) in the training and event management module (PE)?. I was checking in the configuration and I dont find the solution for this issue.
I ask to myself if is necessary to create one infotype for this purpose?
I will appreciate your colaboration and the answer.
Thanks

Hi Vijay:
It is something similar to the infotipo 185 of object person type of the module PA. I need an identification document for external person (example: driver license)

I'm getting error, 'could not persist object with token:re00100000b7f6e12d419f(Error: INF)' while refreshing reports in infoview. If I logoff and logon it's working fine. The error repeats everytime after refreshing 3-5 reports.Can anybody say why it happens?

ObjectId on persistent object

Hello
Using Datastore identity, Is it possible to declare an instance variable on
a persistent object which will "automatically" be populated with the
datastore objectid when the enclosing object is retrieved from persistence?
This would be in preference to always calling JDOHelper.getObjectId(obj)?
[or persistenceManager.getObjectId(obj) ]
Thanks
..droo.

We've done this using the jdoPostLoad callback as follows:
public void jdoPostLoad()
setObjectID(JDOHelper.getObjectId(this).toString());
