Using ecat for uploading HCM objects for testing

Hi,
Can anybody help me out with the steps using ecat to upload the HCM objects for testing.
I could do tcd recording and download the file.

Hi,
I have been using Oracle Flashback Database for a long time in our test environments. As you already said, I recommend that you create Guaranteed Restore Points rather than rely on db_flashback_retention_target. If you are planning to use Guaranteed Restore Points only, then you don't need to turn on flashback. If flashback database is not enabled, then the database must be mounted, not open, when creating the first guaranteed restore point (or if all previously created guaranteed restore points have been dropped).
My Answers:
1) I don't think so. Flashback database is faster compared to RMAN restore/recover operations.
2) Create a backup ins not mandatory, but is a good practice.
3) I created a Nagios plugin that take this work for me, but you can check the v$recovery_file_dest view from time to time.
4) If you take a backup then I don't see a problem, but take care that flashback database relies not only on flashback log files but also in archive redo log files. I recommend you to delete archivelogs (from RMAN) after you drop the restore point.
5) Flashback log files are automatically deleted after the Guaranteed restore points are deleted.
6) Read documentation, make more tests. In 2011 I wrote an article (Brazilian Portuguese) about Flashback Database. Maybe you can take a look ;-)

How to simulate a DAQ device and use it for testing applications without hardware???

how do i simulate a DAQ device

If my application requires inputs
from external hardware to proceed how can I simulate a DAQ device in LabVEIW?
i need to simulate several Digital inputs and Outputs to test the software. currently i dont have the hardware and DAQ device here.
please reply with your valuable suggestions.
many thanks in advance

Hi,
There is no option to simulate traditional device.You need hardware for that so i would suggest to simulate a PXI device which has similar configuration to PCI-6014 and to do a small modification to your application..

Using secatt for testing entire cycle

How can we use SECATT tool for testing the entire series of transactions to be used in logistics functions?
Example :
rfq
acceptance/rejections
purchase order
goods receipt
invoice verification
goods issue
inventory posting/stock transfer
all in a sequence?

Hi Chintan Chande,
Create eCATT scripts for each transaction and export the needed values in each script and use them as input variables in the next scripts.
Like, Script P_Order for PO, take the PO number and create a GR WRT to PO number.
Like wise you could link all your scripts to form a Scenario.
After creating individual scripts for each transactions, then create a master script wherein you encapsulate/refer all of them in here..
Like REF ( RFQ , RFQ_1 ).
REF ( INVENTORY , INVENTORY_1 ).
Also, following is the link of a weblog on SDN which gives step by setp details about chaining. It also explains the terms used with necessary details -

Also, you may also use this thread for your reference.. Though this is not exactly what you are looking for, but it would help you in your case even.

Experiences using CBTA for test of SAP UI5

Hi All,
We are looking into using CBTA for functional testing of SAP UI5 application.
Are there any one who would share some experiences regarding this?
Tanks in advance
/Søren Amdi Bach

Hi Stefan,
while the JARs in the UI5 Eclipse plug-ins contain the same files and it would be possible, but a bit cumbersome to extract and combine them, you are of course right that the SCN trial is severely lagging behind.
Unfortunately getting the SCN updated is a relatively complicated process which is not completely in our hands, so we recently focused on getting the OpenUI5 releases (which we control) reliably done. I let a colleague know who will try to do it this week (no promise). The version will then be 1.18.11.

Can't use iPad for testing app

When I tried to run an app under development on my iPad 1, I get a message "a valid provisioning profile for this exectable was not found."
Under General > Profiles > the Develop App Games and Developer Provisioning are both green ticked as Verified.
So I can't use my iPad for testing the app, which was no problem when I was running OS Lion with XCode 4.2.
I'm now using Xcode 4.6 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
What could be the problem? Thank you.

Currently only a few Apps support casting to Chromecast. There is no mirroring support if that is what you are after.

Using eCATT for Negative Test

Hi Everyone,
Would like to check the feasibility of using eCATT for negative test.
e.g. Would like to do a negative test for invoice posting via FB01.
        - Test scenario would be G/L account provided is locked for posting.
        - Would eCATT be able to show this as a 'successful' result so that no investigation is required?
Thanks in advance.
- Jason

Hello Jason
I assume that if you execute FB01 to post against a locked account the system will issue an error message.
If so then you can capture this specific error message using the MESSAGE interface:
MESSAGE.
TCD ( FB01, FB01_1 ).
ENDMESSAGE ( MSG_1 ).
Before executing the transaction I would first check whether the account is indeed locked. Perhaps there is another transaction available for locking the account.
TCD ( xxxx, xxxx_1 ). " Recording to lock G/L account
MESSAGE.
TCD ( FB01, FB01_1 ).
ENDMESSAGE ( MSG_1 ).
In general, if you have a specific negative output that is repeatable than you can use eCATT for testing.

Should I buy Coldfusion 8 for testing?

The company has Coldfusion 7 and I used it for testing the
code locally in conjunction with Dreamweaver.
Does Adobe have a development server version of CF 8 to test
locally before it gets uploaded to the outside web servers... or do
I need to upgrade/purchase CF8?
Thanks for the help!!!

As far as I know, there were no CFML items that were
deprecated in CF 8:

Custom Extractor using FM for Delta Upload

Hi,
I created a Custom Extractor using FM for Full Upload. The requirement now is that it should be able to handle Delta also.
I used the standard FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE to create my Z FM.
Please suggest me the changes I have to make in this to be able to upload Delta also.
Thanks
Nageswara

Hi Mahesh,
You can selectively load from BI side (through Infopackage) and for that you should have those selection field defined as ranges in your FM.
As per my genius friend Sidharth Gupta:
FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE is a funct. Mod having a simple interface in which I_UPDMODE is not used. Actually FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE is used for a full update and uses an F2 extraction method. However through ABAP we can try to make it delta capable like below.
*Declare
DATA I_UPDMODE.
Now to capture delta on AUDAT
       I_UPDMODE = u2018 u2018.
LOOP AT S_S_IF-T_SELECT INTO L_S_SELECT WHERE FIELDNM = 'AUDAT'.
            MOVE-CORRESPONDING L_S_SELECT TO L_R_AUDAT.
             I_UPDMODE = u2018 D u2019.
            APPEND L_R_AUDAT.
          ENDLOOP.
This code works however is not flexible as you do not use a CASE stmt on I_UPDMODE.
CASE stmt gives more flexibility which is used in FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA.
FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA is a funct. Mod having a complete interface in which I_UPDMODE is passed to funct mod during its call.FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA can be used for all update types and uses an F1 extraction method. However after writing the funct mod the default extraction method is F2 in table ROOSOURCE which needs to b changed to F1 for ur mod to work. This change from F2 to F1 can be done via test abap code.
Part two of that Article is yet to be published so wait for sometime or follow above mentioned approach.
Hope it helps.

Ashish

Mass Upload of object dependency for characteristics value

Using Failover for DB Manager Service Objects

Michelin Tire Corporation
At Michelin, we are trying to implement a failover
service object using Oracle 7.3 on RS6000 platform (AIX 4.1.4).
We understand that we need to use HACMP (Clustering) and
Oracle's parallel server. This way the DB Service objects
on two different computer nodes can access the same database.
Has anyone used this configuration? If so, have you had any problems?
and how well does it work?
We would appreciate any information on this subject.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Sams

Thanks in advance,
Thomas SamsAt CSI, we have planned to use HACMP with Forte' failover to provide a
high availability architecture for one of our customer.
There are a lot of stuff to consider, some related to hacmp
configuration, some to forte' mechanisms.
In particular we should use HACMP for managing RDBMS backup and Forte'
capabilities to deal with partitions/envs/nodemgrs failover. We have not
take into account Oracle's parallel server at the moment ( althought it
could be a good solution ) because we don't really need to access oracle
from 2 different nodes at the same time, but "just" to have a "realtime"
dbms backup in case of primary server fault.
The architecure we choosen is based on tre AIX server ( 1 application
server, 1 main dbms server, 1 backup server ( oracle failover, envs
failover).
We have started testing it using forte 2.0.h, but we realized that a
more complete functionality will be offered using 3.0 KEEP_ALIVE
features. So I could give you more feedback in the near future.
What type of solution have you in mind ?

Error while using RFBIBL00 for legacy master upload

HI All,
we are encountering following error in step 13 of LSMW using RFBIBL00 for AP open item upload for document type RE
Anybody knows what might be probable reason for it .
Key entries are not defined ( notify system support )
The error occurred in document 1 in session 1

Hi Amogh,
It looks like the error in the uploaded data. Check if the required enties are available in the upload file (e.g. In T. code OBA7, check if the fields are marked as required and they are missing in the file) or cost object is missing for a Gl acocunt line (defined as cost element) etc.
Additionally, also check if there are some entries in the file which are not yet customized in the system.
These two looks like th emost probable cause for the error.

Using Applescript for uploading pictures on the Internet

Hello!
I was wondering if there was a way to use Applescript with Firefox (or another browser)...?
We have many many villas on our website, each one with lots of pictures. We are constantly adding new villas to our site and amending old ones.
To add pictures we go to a page in our cms for each villa, located there is a drop down menu - image 1, image 2, 3 etc etc etc
For each one we have to manually browse for and attach the photo. As you can guess this is a time consuming process, we have asked the web designer before for this but he is so busy and we have other more important stuff for him to be working on.
As Applescript is so nifty I was wondering if anybody had an idea on how to use it for this process - i.e. have a folder full of pictures on the desktop and Applescript can add them?
I have no idea if this is possible, any ideas?
Many thanks and regards.
Simon

Yeah I completely understand, I just wanted to see if anybody knew if it could be done.
Obviously for security reasons I can't let anybody into our CMS, so looks like it's a bit of an impossible task.
Although it would be awesome to simply change the script slightly for each villa and let it do it all, this would be stupidly complicated as there are many menus to navigate to get to the uploading picture area.
It would be great if I could do all that manually then once on that page (or given the page url to Applescript) set Applescript running to upload all the images for me.
This is what that page looks like, if this helps?!:
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/241/screenshot20100415at141.png
The drop down menu contains:
Villa Plan
Small Location Map
Image Gallery 1
Image Gallery 2
etc
etc
I could arrange a folder with the pictures in order (i.e. Villa Plan first, then Small location Map, then the picture for 1 etc) so no worries about the Villa Plan and location map.
I've got a feeling I'm just going to have to do it manually (I shall forever be uploading pictures), but I thought I would give it to some of you geniuses to mull over!
For whoever creates a script I'll give you a discounted stay in Paradise... there's an incentive!!
Many thanks and regards,
Simon
