Using Grab from Application/Services menu

Hi
Can anyone explain how to enable Grab in the App/Services menu?
whenever I try, the three options (screen, selection, timed) are all greyed out, even though Grab itself is not. I can get the screenshot fine if I use the keyboard shortcuts, however, I don't use it a lot so I never remember what they are!
It's a pain to have to look it up everytime...
Thanks

You must invoke the Grab Service from within an application that can accept the screen shot. One that can is TextEdit. (Taking screenshots from a Service this way has never seemed practical to me.)

Can I remove items from the Services menu?

I think the subject line says it all: can I remove items from the Services menu? I have a number of items in the Services menu that I never use and I would like to make the menu shorter to make it easier to access the items that I do use.

There are a couple of things you could try. There's an application called Service Scrubber that is supposed to do this. But the web page says it's for 10.4, though it says it might work on 10.3
Alternatively, you can edit the Info.plist or Info-macos.plist file in each application bundle to remove its service from the Services menu. This post at Mac OS X Hints has a pretty detailed description of how to do it. I tried this on my iMac running 10.3.9 and it worked just fine.
Don't know about the Service Scrubber app, but if you edit the plist files, you'll need to log out and log back in before the changes take effect.
Also, if you decide to edit the files by hand, I'd suggest just renaming NSServices by adding an "x" to the front or something, rather than deleting the item completely. That makes the changes easier to reverse.

Properties of Web Services generated from Application services in CAF

Hi to all,
first sorry for posting one question twice (in CAF and CE forums) but I am not sure where exactly it belongs.
I experience problems with exposing web services from application service in CE 7.1 (trial version).
I want to add fault elements or use document literal instead of RPC binding. I do it from the design page for web services. The problem is that after saving and regenerating the application, the changed information gets lost.
Is it possible to expose these services while changing some information?
And another question that would arise if this is possible. How can I catch the faults in VC? Is there e possibility to show different panels according to the value returned (from the data service, which is a web service with fault element).
Thank You in advance!
V S

Hi,
Please check note 1004108.
Methods of Application and/or Entity Services (Business Objects) of CAF of SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 cannot be exposed in document style, only RPC/literal is possible. Sorry.
It's a restriction that is planned to be solved in one of the next releases.
Regards,
Jan

How can I call the create method in BO from Application Service

Hello!
When I create a Business Object, CAF generates some methods automatically.
How can I call the create method in the BO from Application Service logic?
When i call the method then the entityManager and the sessionContext is NULL.
How can I initialize this?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks, Thomas

If you are using CE 7.11...
1) In the Application Services, add the BO as dependant object in dependencies tab.
2) In the implemention, add the following codes to call create method of the BO:
this.get<BO>.createMethod();

How can I using tpcall from one service to another service in the same server

When I using tpforward between two services in one server, it's working ok. However,
when I using tpcall from one service to another service, it's failed?
anybody can tell me why?
thanks

ok. However,
when I using tpcall from one service to another service, it's failed?
anybody can tell me why?Basically, tpcall:ing another service in the same server is a no-no, unless you
a) are running a multi-threaded server (requires TUXEDO 7 or newer + compilation
options) or
b) use tpacall() instead of tpcall() and specify the flag TPNOREPLY. This is probably
not what you want to accomplish, though.
The reason is that TUXEDO servers by default (and always in versions before 7)
are single-threaded. If service A and B both reside in server X, server X will
be busy taking care of the call to A. If A makes a call to B, the call will be
put on the queue to X, but X will not look at the queue until it is done with
A, which won't happen until B returns... deadlock!
You can play tricks with starting multiple instances of X, but in the end you
will always face a risk (something lika a race-condition) for a dead-lock.
Solution: Move service B to another server (usually quite easy) OR switch to multi-threading,
if that's possible. Just make sure all code your service calls is MT-safe as well...
thanks

Error while using external service from application service

Hello All,
I have exposed webservice from a CAF project that i am importing as external service in another CAF project. Now i am using application service to directly call the external service. following is the code in my application service:
Ns6_getCountryByCode__R inp = new Ns6_getCountryByCode__R();
               inp.setNs6_countryCode(countryCode);
               try {
                      HRServicesWSVi__DocumentLocal bn = this.getHRServicesWSVi__Document();
                      Ns6_getCountryByCode__RResponse result = bn.getCountryByCode__R(inp);
                      retValue.setCountryCode(result.getNs6_Response().getNs3_countryCode());
                      retValue.setCountryName(result.getNs6_Response().getNs3_countryName());
                 }catch(Exception e){
                      throw new ServiceException(e);
I am getting the following error
ERROR. Problem in server response: [Bad Request].:
What could be the problem ? Thanks in advance

Ashutosh Rastogi

Hello,
It's always a good idea to check the log file. In many cases you find hints what the reason for the error could be. The log file can be found here: <root>usrsap<SID>JC30j2eeclusterserver0logdefaultTrace.<xy>.trc where <root> is probably c:, SID something like F33, F41, ... and <xy> a number 0, 1, .... -> the highest number is the last and therefore most youngest log file. Please check out this file.
Another very common (but trivial) error is that you forgot to specify the URL and the end point location of your Web Service in CAF's config tool. This tutorial explains this beginning on page 20 <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/11669cea-0c01-0010-63b2-b98c35b1b370">Using a Web Service as External Service</a>.

Can I run a shell script from the services menu?, part II

Remember this?
It is now possible.

Doesn't look like there is a direct way to do it.
The services are all Bundles, which is easy
enough to fake -- just copy one from /Library/Services
to ~/Services and modify the plist. Put your shell
script in Contents/MacOS/ and identify it in the
plist under CFBundleExecutable and hope for the
best
Where it gets sticky is CFBundlePackageType (APPL
for Application, FMWK for FrameWork, BNDL for
'loadable bundle', whatever that is] and NSServices.
CFBundlePackageType should pose no problem if Services
use the OS loader and handles file magic [and '#!' of
course].
NSServices specifies a named port that the app
listens on, the data type it receives, and so forth.
This looks a bit harder to fake. I'd bet Applescript
has the functionality, and there may be some
command-line hooks to backend that, or it may be
possible to netcat your way through it.
But it doesn't look trivial
Property List Key Reference
Anyways, tried it with a quick script that echoes to a
file, and haven't figured out how to refresh the
Services menu to get it to appear. Probably have
to NetInfo it or something ridiculous; doesn't appear
to watch the FS.

Problem in Web Service from Application Service

Hi All,
In Netweaver CE I have created a CAF project and within the project I have used one WebService as external service. Now to access the web service I have created an application over on the extrenal service( Just right clicking on webservice -> default mapping). Then the application service is exposed as web service. At that time I have also created Web Service Destination and mapped (External service mapping) the external service with that specific destination. Now my task is to test the web service from netweaver WebService Nevigator. At the testing phase I am providing one input value and executing the WS but it is not accepting any input value. I have also done the debugging in backend system but in backend the input value is acception as zero. That means the web service is not accepting anu input value.
Did anybody face the same problem for NetWeaver CE or any sugestion?
Thanks
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
You need to create a custom wrapper operation in the application service where the operation by default mapping gets created. From this custom operation you need to call the operation created by the default mapping. In the web service you need to expose the custom operation only.
Thanks,
Dipankar

ClassCastException using EJB from a service

Hi all,
I developed a DeployService and currently I'm getting a ClassCastException while accessing the a EJB.
I put the lookup within a delegate which is also be used from a webDynpro application. With the WebDynpro App everything work properly, but if I call the delegate from the service a SAPClassCastException I thrown, when I cast the object to the home interface.
The coding is as follows:
               Properties props = new Properties();
               props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"localhost:50004");
               props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
               "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
               context = new InitialContext(props);
               Object obj = context.lookup(jndiName);
               EJBHome ejb = EJBHomeFactory.getInstance().lookup(jndiName, ComponentHome.class);
               ComponentHome componentHome = (ComponentHome)ejb;
Thanks a lot for the help.
Falk

Hi Falk,
Hey just tell me that what is the EJBHome and ComponentHome and EJBHomeFactory in your coding.....
You can try the following code for the same.
Object obj =(Object) jndicontext.lookup("<Your JNDI name>");
TestEJBHome home = (TestEJBHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(
               obj,
               TestEJBHome.class);
TestEJB hello = home.create();
Here, TestEJBHome is your Home interface of the EJB and TestEJB is your remote interface. Now you can use hello object to call your business methods of EJB.

Sending xsi types using Axis from web service client

Hello,
I am using axis to consume a web service, the soap message generated contain xsi types which cause the validation of the message to fail. Example:
xsi:type="xsd:string"I have tried to remove these types using call.setProperty(Call.SEND_TYPE_ATTR,Boolean.FALSE); but this does not seem to work.
OPERATION_STYLE=document
Can someone please help
Thanks

Haven't worked on this, but have you tried by putting the axis libraries inside the plugin lib folder when you are building up the plugin? Also you need to check asix2 compatibility with weblogic version with R2.

Use audio from iMovie for menu in iDVD

I would like to use 30 seconds of audio out of a 30 min. video for use in a menu in iDVD.
I seem to have to detach audio, but that lets me only use it within iMovie;
Export audio seems to export the whole movie.
Is there an elegant way to extract these 30 seconds outside iMovie?
Thank you very much!

• duplicate your Project in iMovies Project Browser
• 'trim' that Project to the wanted 30secs
• Share/Export using Quicktime - there's a drop-down menu, allowing to choose 'aiff'
• drag created audio file into your iDVD Project's info window of the menu

Firefox says it has a problem loading any server and won't even open. I can't find my profile manager when I use 'RUN' from my start menu so I can see set up a new profile to hopefully solve the problem. This all happened after a recent Firefox update

WHen I try to launch Firefox, a window appears saying it's can't establish a connection to the server at any of the web pages I request. Firefox recently upgraded and since then this has been happening. I have an internet connection with another browser, so it's not my internet service. I downloaded another copy of Firefox and it still does not work.

I have this problem too.
