Use of Externalizable Interface

Hi All,
can any of you please tell me that what is the exact use of Externalizable Interface and when do we need to use Externalizable instaed of Serializable.
Thanks in advance.

Use the Externalizable interface when you need complete control over your Bean's serialization.
For example, you want to make a serialization process into a different file format ( file content structure)

What is the use of Externalizable? and what is the diff b/w Serializable and Externalizable interfaces?

What is the use of Externalizable?Read the API docs, they explain it.
and what is the
diff b/w Serializable and Externalizable interfaces?Well, read the API docs of Serializable, too, and then find the difference.

Loading bank accounts with invoices using Payables Open Interface Import

Dear Gurus,
We are on 11.5.10.2.
We create invoices in the 3rd party system, then load them into oracle using payables open interface import process.
When users create invoices, they choose Vendor and Site first. If the Vendor Site has multiple bank accounts assigned, users may select the one that is non-primary.
When we load the invoices into Oracle, it finds the PRIMARY account for the particular vendor site, and assigns it to the invoice.
Is it possible to load bank accounts assigned to invoices into Oracle AP?
Many Thanks,
Iana

Hi,
No issues for me on Payables Open Invoice Interface with 12.0.6 - and yes make sure you match up the invoice_id on invoice, lines interface tables.

How to update an existing supplier using Supplier Open Interface Import?

Hi
I need to updated an existing supplier.
Is it possible to update using supplier open interface import and how?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Mallesh

Hi Atul,
I am using CCM 2.0 and SRM 5.0 (EBP5.5).
We are not using XI, so i guess we cant use the program "/ccm/file_upload".
we have migrated the product master data from R/3.
We have developed a report which takes product category as input and gives out flat file in csv format containg all the items in that prod category.
Then we upload the file in CCM by logging thro the brpwser.
Similarly, i can develop another program which will give me a CSV file foll all those items changed in R/3 in a day.
Then we can upload that file in CCM.
But i have doubt if it will update the existing items in catalog.
Hope I could make myself clear.
Thanks
Abhishek

Use of abstract interface

I have a series of questions....... Go through.
What is the use of abstract interface in java ?
What is the use of static object in java ?
What is the use of abstract key word to variables ?
Object reference passed to method are final. Can ' t we change it ?

class Testing {
     int i;
public class RefFinal {
   public static void f ( Testing t1, Testing t2) {
       Testing temp;
       temp=t1;
       t1=t2;
       t2=temp;
       System.out.println("value of i in t1 =" +t1.i);
       System.out.println("value of i in t2 =" +t2.i);
   public static void main( String args[]) {
      Testing t1 = new Testing();
      Testing t2 = new Testing();
      t1.i=10;
      t2.i=20;
      f(t1,t2);
      System.out.println("value of i in t1 =" +t1.i);
      System.out.println("value of i in t2 =" +t2.i);
}      Here the code explain why?

Using one Message Interface for all mappings

Hi Folks,
I am using a BPM in which i m getting a file from file system which have system ID in it.
I am having three send Synchronous step following that.
What i need is to use the Message interface for file to be used for receiver determination based on system id in case of Synchronous interfaces.
DO i need to include this File msg. interface in each mapping, if i do so will it be possible to send req. and get response for synchronous call.
OR is there any way to to use the file msg. interface for each mapping.
we are on SP17,I also tried Extended mapping but i am having SYNCHRONOUS send steps.
Plz help me out
Sachin

Bhavesh
<i>1. You receiver a file in your BPM . This has a field called SYSTEM ID?
2. On the basis of the System ID field you need to determine the Receiver to which the Synchronous Request message has to be sent?</i>
Sorry for that...because I was confused with jai's ans.. that's why said like that
<b>You are absolutely correct</b>
This is what i want to do.
i can't use switch step here. my BPM looks like this
RecFile->sync send->transformation1->transformation2->sync send2->transformation3->BLOCK
in BLOCK
Sync Send3->transformation4 and so on...
I am using three different Sync ABS Interface for each Sync send steps.
In receiver determination i want to get the data from respective R/3 system based on system ID i.e. logical system in File MI.
Say if it T90CLNT90 then get data from BS_SAPR3_4.6 else from BS_4.7

Error while calling RFC when using BSP Web Interface

Hi,
we have a problem with the Authorization when we use an Web Interface for BSP. We have assigned all roles to the user which were mentioned in the SAP standard documentation:
R_AREA
R_METHOD
R_PACKAGE
R_PARAM
R_PLEVEL
R_PM_NAME
R_PROFILE
R_STS_PT
R_STS_SUP
R_WEBITF
S_RS_ADMWB
S_RS_AUTH
S_RS_COMP
S_RS_COMP1
S_RS_DAS
S_RS_ICUBE
but we still get the error message: "Error while calling RFC".
When using a user with SAP_ALL, it works.
What can we do?
Thx for your time.
Joerg

Actually that's surprising - because BSP (Business Server Pages) and RFC (Remote Function Call) are not related; they use totally different transport protocols (http vs. RFC). Even if an BSP application is calling a function module remotely (acting as RFC client) no authorizations for S_RFC are required - in the calling system (but in the called system, i.e. the RFC server).
Since assigning SAP_ALL seems to "cure" the problem, it seems to be an authorization issue, indeed. In that case it makes sense to use the authorization trace (ST01 - notice: that's specific to one single ABAP application server; you might have to activate the trace on multiple instances) to find out which authorizations are checked / demanded.

How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

Here's some info on working with plists:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Introduc tion/chapter1_section1.html
They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

Best practice for using App Module Interface vs Impl

Hello all,
I understand the benefit and desire to use an Application Module via an Interface vs directly using the Implementation (Impl) class. This works fine for custom methods exposed on the interface, however, it does not address getters for view objects that are in the data model. Similarly, if I do use the Impl class, it returns a View Object Implementation - same issue here.
Any thoughts?
John

Hi John,
you can write custom method returning ViewObject class.
    /**Container's getter for DeptView1
    public DeptViewImpl getDeptView() {
        return (DeptViewImpl)findViewObject("DeptView");
    // This method can be exposed to client
    public ViewObject getDepts() {
        return getDeptView1();
    }When your view object will have custom method exposed to client then getDepts() method can return DeptView interface.
Method returning impl class cannot be exposed as it probably doesn't follow rules (some rules are described in documentation - ch. 8.4.4).
Or you can create your own interface and implement it in view object impl class. Getter returning this interface can be exposed to client.
We found it very useful to use own java interfaces in our project. You can then create common logic working with any view object implementing specific interface.

Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
Is this possible??
When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
Thanx in advance.
Philipp

Hi,
You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.

Using the FilenameFilter interface to get the extension of a file

Hello...
I am trying to write a java program which is going to parse multiple xml documents and load them into the db. In a directory, there could be files other than xml files. Hence, i want to parse only files which have an .xml extension. I am using the FilenameFilter interface to get the extension of the files in a particular directory. However i am getting confused with the way it shd work...i am attaching herewith the code ...pl help me. I would appreciate if u could send me some sample code.

In the above code, I am trying to list all those files which have the filter as .xml. I am unable to understand what code i need to write in the accept method of the FilenameFilter interface which accepts the directory name and the file name. There could be a directory which consists of multiple xml files too..this is where i am finding a problem
Regards,
Jayashree

This sample code uses an inner anonymous FilenameFilter that takes all readable files with a ".xml" extension.
File[] fileList = dir.listFiles (new FilenameFilter () {
    public boolean accept (File dir, String name) {
        if (!name.trim().endsWith (".xml"))
            return false;
        File f = new File (dir, name);
        if (!f.isFile())
            return false;
        if (!f.canRead())
            return false;
        return true;
});Please post any question if you don't understand.

One or more application are using Itunes scripting interface

After downloading update on ITunes 10 on windows 7 it freezes. Or something pops up and says one or more application are using itunes scripting interface quit.
I tried everything. Help.

well, you're the first one I''m seen reporting this, so that makes me think it is unique to your PC. So I doubt an updated iTunes version is going to "fix" this.
The way to find things like this is by using MSCONFIG as explained in these directions. But it is tedious to find it, requires a lot of PC restarting. You said it's not a big deal, so you might not want to spend the time.

How to get to learn using TestStand User Interfaces

I am starting to work with TestStand and I was looking into using the User Interface. I know that a couple of examples are provided and that there is a couple of sections of literature on the subject, but there does not appear to be a very helpful (get started from scratch) type of documentation that I can find. Does such a thing exist? If not, what is the best way to get started?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can currently do this in the Full-Featured UI without any modifications. It's kind of a hack though:
So assume that an execution is running. The user clicks the Break button and wants to rerun a step with different parameters. So now your execution is paused somewhere below the step. Right click the step and select: Set Next Step to Cursor. Now in the Variable window look for the variable that is being passed as a parameter to that step. Say for instance Locals.Foo is being passed to your VI. Change the value of it and click the Resume button. This also assumes that you are passing either Locals or FileGlobals to your VI. You may have to have Administrator privileges to do this.
If this isn't good enough then there are ways to accomplish what you want in a cleaner manner.
One way is to build your sequence file such that if a certain condition occurs then retry with new values or values from a file which can be changed by the user. This is what I would recommend because it will be the cleanest and the easiest.
Another way is to build into your UI like you are asking about. The problem with this is at a certain point the user will click Break or a Stop button that you have put on there. This will stop the execution at some point (who knows exactly what point unless you write code to specify a point). Then they would have a pop up or something that would allow them to select a step. Then for each step you'll have to have some code or a parser or something that will determine the parameters and valid values they can be and ask the user for those. This is all doable but would be quite a task. You will have a long ways to go in understanding the TestStand API in order to accomplish this. In fact there would be so many API calls with numerous ways to attack this problem.
Whichever way you choose to go you will always have the TestStand forums or NI support.
