Use of Lookup Files in BI Applications

Hi,
Can any one tell the use of lookup files in BI Applications. While doing the configurations (for all modules) for these lookup files we get the data from the ERP database tables using the query provided by oracle and populate the file and then map with some domain values.
Why cant we directly populate the datawarehouse tables using the ERP tables instead of populating through the lookup files (which we any how populate with ERP tables). Also what is the use of domain values. Does these use in reporting puposes and anlyzing the data or business.
Thank You,

For e.g, when you map the GL group account numbers, the predefined group codes such as 'CASH', 'AR', 'AP' , 'TAX' etc are the domain values. In the repository, the metrics are defined based on these domain values.
Say, you mapped your CASH accounts from 0011 through 0100, then OBIEE calculates the metrics related to CASH as summation (or some kind of calculation) on the accounts that have the group codes (domain values) as CASH.
It should be possible to update the domain values directly from ERP database tables but the ETL expects the mapping to be in files. Also in some cases we cannot change the default domain values, all we can change is the mapping to these domain values or create new domain values. At one client, we had to create a new account group code called 'FIXED ASSET' as the default domain values were not sufficient but then we had to change the repository to include new metrics and change existing ones to incorporate this new group code.

Using a jar file in my application... how?

I have a JAR file which contains some classes I need to use in my application. I however, after looking in several books, cannot figure out how to use this JAR file within my application.
Do I simply put it in the directory with my .java files, and use an import command? I'm confused.

If the classes in the jar are part of a package then you can import them based on the package structure. The jar file will have to be part of your CLASSPATH variable.
i.e.
myUtils.jar
resides in C:\"My Classes"
CLASSPATH = .;"C:\My Classes";"C:\My Classes\myUtils.jar"
within the jar I have the following class:
\ameyer\Util\someUtil.class
\ameyer\Util\anotherUtil.class
To use these classes I could use the following import statement
import ameyer.Util.*;
This would import any class at that level in the jar.
Note: the import part of the CLASSPATH is "C:\My Classes\myUtils.jar"
hope this helps.

Problem using misc jar-Files in Composite Application

Hi there,
I want to use different jar-Files in my Composite Application on SAP Netweaver 7.3.
I have created an external Lib DC where I have inserted the libs. After that I created an enterprise EAR and added the dependency to the PP of the external lib DC.
After that I added the a dependency to my CAF-EAR. But I cannot access the mehtods and functions from my jar files.
What's wrong there?
Another question: Is it possible to add the jar-files directly to my CAF-EAR without creating the external library DC and adding a dependency?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi, I've downloaded Jacob and got it running on my installation by doing the following:
1. Download http://danadler.com/jacob/jacobBin_17.zip.
2. Extract to Jdeveloper10g/jdev/lib/ext/Jacob
3. Copy jacob.dll to c:/windows/system32
4. Add JDeveloper10g/jdev/lib/ext/Jacob/jacob.jar to JDev user libraries, calling it 'Jacob'
5. Add the 'Jacob' library to the project.
6. Create a word document at c:/java/jacob/file_in.doc
7. Create a new class with the following code:
package view;
import com.jacob.*;

Using .cfr report files in an application

We are developing an application that sits behind a login. In this application we have several .cfr pages. When we try to access one of the reports the web browser returns a blank page. If we remove the application.cfc file from the root directory the pabe works fine. I am assuming the reason for this is the .cfr extension is not being accepted as an application page. Dose anyone know how to correct this? Our servers are windows based and coldfusion is running under iis.
Thanks

Nope. If you look at the Help for the "Run VI" method, you find the following information for "Auto Dispose Ref":
"If TRUE, the target VI detaches the reference from the main VI. When the target VI finishes executing, LabVIEW automatically disposes of the reference, along with the parallel data space. If FALSE, the main VI retains control of the target VI."
So by setting "Auto dispose" to T, you pass control of the reference to the subVI itself, and LabVIEW will dispose of the reference when the subVI finishes running.
I will second Jeff and urge you to get rid of the global variable! I haven't used a global variable in something like 14 years. I haven't needed to. Myself, I love a good notifier and would urge you to use a notifier instead of a queue if you're going to be spawning VIs. Why? Because the first instance of your spawned VI to receive the "stop" message from the queue will remove that message from the queue, thus preventing the other instances from receiving the message. So you'll have to send the message repeatedly and hope that everyone eventually receives it. If you use a notifier, anything that contains a "Wait on Notification" with that notifier reference will receive the message. I think you want multiple listeners here, right?
Ok, this afternoon I'll try to write some dummy code with a statically called VI in it, compile it into an exe, and see if I can duplicate your problem...
One question, were you just using the static VI reference by itself to call your VI, or were you using it the same way I showed in my earlier post, with "Open VI reference"? I'm just trying to look for differences between what I've done in the past which has worked, and what you're doing now which isn't working...
Jeff, what say you?

How to use a jar-file in an Application Service - NWDS 7.01

Hello everybody,
I want to create an Application Service in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.01.05. Can you explain me how i can import an external jar into my project?
I found out that I can implement or create simple java files:
Java Perspective --> package project_name.utils --> insert/create java file
I try to add the jar into the java build path of my project, but when i build it the jar is gone.
I would be very thankful for every hint.

To use my class files in my applications

Hi all!
public class Count
private int serialNumber;
private static int counter=0;
public static int getTotalCount()
return counter;
public Count()
counter++;
serialNumber=counter;
public class TestCounter
public static void main(String args[])
System.out.println("Number of counter is " +Count.getTotalCount());
Count c1=new Count();
System.out.println("Number of counter is " +Count.getTotalCount());
As you see above i want to use my count class in the TestCounter class but i cant compile it.It says i cant find the count class.How can i use count class in my TestCounter class.
I try to make a package.So i put the counter class to a new package and import it by this package name in the TestCounter but i says there is no class in import.How can i make a package that i can import in my other applications.

Sorry, I somehow got the impression that you could compile but not run...
You must be making a small, irritating, frustrating mistake somewhere since the settings you desrcribe are correct.
The code for the Count class is in c:\java\Count.java?
The code for the TestCount class is in c:\java\TestCount.java?
Can you compile Count with:
c:\java>javac Count.java
And after that TestCount with
c:\java>javac TestCount.java
If not, what is the exact error message (with line numbers and stuff) you get?What if you try compiling with
c:\java>javac *.java
Or "javac -classpath . *.java"?
You are using a 1.2+ jdk, right? Not those 1.1 ones? As the 1.1 jdks require some extra setting in the classpath - the compiler may not be finding the superclass of Count, java.lang.Object, and then saying it can't find Count... older jdks have a 'feature' like that.
Let's hope this will shed some light on the problem...

Multiple xml files in one application?

Is it possible to split up the xml code
and let different session info objects
use different xml files in one application?
null

Krasimir,
Actually, my last reply might have been a little misleading. If you use ADF libraries then your task flows should be packaged correctly and should just work. I created a very simple test as follows:
1. Created a new project. In adfc-config added two view activities, pageb1 and pageb2, and some navigation between them. Created the .jspx files for these view activities.
2. Deployed my project as an ADF library and exposed the library in the resource palette (using a file system connection).
3. Created a new application containing a project (project1). In project1, created a simple flow in adfc-config.xml with pagea1 and pagea2.
4. Added my ADF library to project1.
5. Now, by expanding the ADF library in the navigator (select Show Libraries from the dropdown menu on the Projects toolbar) I can see the adfc-config file in my library, and see that it is now under META-INF.
6. I can run the adfc-config in my library and the adfc-config in my project - both work fine. I can also access any of the view activities in either flow by accessing the URL directly.
Do these basic steps work for you? Let me know if any of it is not clear.

HOw to create a Batch file for java application and whats the use of this ?

HI,
How to create a Batch file for java application ?
And whats the use of creating batch file ?
Thanks in advance

First of all, you're OT.
Second, you can find this everywhere in the net.
If you got a manifest declaring main class (an classpath if needed), just create a file named whatever.bat, within same directory of jar file, containing:
javaw -jar ./WhateverTheNameOfYourJarIs.jar %*By the way, assuming a Windows OS, you can just double click the jar file (no batch is needed).
Otherwise use:
javaw -cp listOfJarsAndDirectoriesSeparedBySemiColon country/company/application/package/className %*Where 'country/company/application/package/' just stands for a package path using '/' as separator instead of '.'
Don't specify the .class extension.
Javaw only works on Windows (you asked for batch, I assumed .BAT, no .sh), in Linux please use java.exe (path may be needed, Windows doesn't need it 'cause java's executables are copied to system32 folder in order to be always available, see PATH environment variable if you don't know what I'm talking about) and use ':' as classpath (cp) separator.
The '%***' tail is there in order to pass all parameters, it only works on Windows, refer to your shell docs for other OSs (something like $* may work).
This way you have a command you can call to launch your code (instead of opening NetBeans just to see your app working). You could schedule tasks on it or just call it in any command prompt (hope you know what it is 'cause there have been people in this very same forum with no clue about it, if not just hold the 'Windows button' and press 'R', then type 'cmd' and run it).
Finally add dukes and give 'hem away.
Bye.

Using JAR file in running application and POI !

Hi all
I am trying to use POI HSSF f(for the first time, So pls bear with me!)or creating excel file from my java Application. I am using the jar file :
poi-2.0-RC2-20040102.jar. Not sure if its the correct one. So If I am wrong pls correct me.
Now I am creating a bat file to compile my application:
@echo off
C:\jdk1.3.1_04\bin\javac -classpath C:\POI\poi-2.0-RC2-20040102.jar MyApp.java
pauseIt compiles fine. Now If I try to use the jar file in run.bat for running my application, it says NoClassDef FoundError:MyApp. Here is my run.bat
java -classpath C:\POI\poi-2.0-RC2-20040102.jar MyApp
pauseI am not able to run my application with this run.bat file . If I change the content to:
"java MyApp.java"
It runs but give me error: NOClassDefFoundError:import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook
Pls suggest me about how to use jar file in running my app and how to rresolve workbook finding problem.
Reagrds

Try this:
java -classpath .;C:\POI\poi-2.0-RC2-20040102.jar MyApp
pauseNote the "dot semi-colon" at the start of the CLASSPATH. That puts the current directory in the CLASSPATH, which is where MyApp.class lives. (No package, right?)
See if that works better.

Deleting files when installing application using package maker

Hello,
I have made package maker for my application. It is made such that it will be installed in Application directory.
I want to delete directory at ~/Library/Application Support/TestApp.
This is necessary for me, because when user install my application i need to remove all the files that my application has created.
So, how can i use package maker to remove this files and folders if there exist?
Thanks
xmax

Hi xmax
I'm not sure I understand your meaning.
When you drag a file (that you're going to install) into the left hand side of package maker, more options open up, including the ability to add pre and post flight scripts.
To change what your user will see during the installation process, run Package Maker and click on Edit Interface.

Instead of using the make file can you build nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012?

After downloading the NI nimhddk_windowsWDM-2 and -1
Instead of using the make file I built nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012
I copied the source files out of the dir /nirlpk to the MS template for WDM drivers
It built after turning warnings as errors off.
After uninstalling the NI_DMX driver I tried to install the RLP driver that consisted of nirlp.inf and nirlpk.sys
I got this message:
Windows found driver software for your device but encounted and error while attempting to install it.
PCI-6602 RLP WDM
Driver is not intended for this platform
Is the nirlp.inf file correct for loading on Windows 7 64 bit?
Any ideas?

I have now altered the example along lines
suggested by ghaneman*, who pointed out that
a trusted application did not need to use the
FileOpenService/FileContents just to get an
InputStream.
* Mentioned on 'File associations / sandboxed app.'
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=785224
The altered code is..
/** Load a file into the editing area.
@param path A string representing the path to the desired file. */
public void loadFile(String path) {
    // first try as if this were a trusted application..
    if (!path.equals(".")) {
        try {
            FileInputStream inputStream = new
                FileInputStream(path);
            loadFile(inputStream);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // we do not have trust, use the FileOpenService
            loadFileByFileService(path);
    } else {
        // we only have a directory, use the FileOpenService
        loadFileByFileService(path);
public void loadFileByFileService(String path) {
    try {
        if (fileOpenService==null) {
            fileOpenService = (FileOpenService)ServiceManager.
                lookup("javax.jnlp.FileOpenService");
        fileContents = fileOpenService.openFileDialog(path, xtns);
        // the user may have cancelled the action..
        if (fileContents!=null) {
            loadFile( fileContents.getInputStream() );
    } catch(UnavailableServiceException use) {
        use.printStackTrace();
    } catch(IOException ioe) {
        ioe.printStackTrace();
}If the user launches the trusted version, and
selects 'always trust' for the (self signed)
certificate, the end user can thereafter double
click a file and see it appear in the application's
editing area with no further user interaction.
