Using MDX writeback from within VBA in BEX

Hi all,
we want to update/insert a keyfigure from a BEX -Query-result in EXCEL.
Is it possible to use an existing MDX command to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Call RFC enabled function from within VBA in BI 7.0

Hello Experts,
the problem that we have should be general, i have found some postings on this forum concerning it, but unfortunately no proper solutiont.
I just want to have the possibility to call the rfc enabled function module from within the callback function in VBA after executing of some query.
I have seen the suggestion to build a new RFC connection in VBA, but therefore you should hard-code all connection parameters (including user + password)
in the VBA code, this solution is for us not acceptable due to the security reasons.
Is there some way to use the existing connection of BEx Analyser in order to execute the function calls?
This functionality was possible in 3.5 but not in 7.0 since many functions that were available in 3.5 are not supported now.
Do you have experience/suggestions for this problem?
Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Kirill

Re-use message mapping from within java mapping?

Hi there,
I have a question regarding java mapping. What I would like to do is to re-use an existing message mapping from within java mapping.
Technicaly, message mapping is perfomed by com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.execute, right? I would like to call that mapping program for a specifc message mapping from within my java mapping.
Pseudo java code would look like this:
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws StreamTransformationException {
com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.execute(in,out,'SomeMessageMapping');
SomeMessageMapping is a message mapping that is defined in the integration repository.
Is it possible? If so, could you provide me with some details?
Thank you and best regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
very interesting idea?
I would activa a dummy message mapping. than I would have a look in the file directory of the java-stack and try to find out the name of the *.class or *.jar file.
On the other hand you could generate a tpz-transport-file an unpack this file, to explore the name of the *.class or *.jar
Unfortunately I do not have access to the file system. So I can't explore the name.

Using mdx query from Java Apache

Please suggest/guide me how to use MDX query to pull data from cube from Apache JAVA??
BI GUY

Hi BIGUY,
Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) is the query language that you use to work with and retrieve multidimensional data in Microsoft Analysis Services. MDX is based on the XML for Analysis (XMLA) specification, with specific extensions for SQL Server Analysis
Services.
According to your description, it's hard to give your the exact MDX query to pull the data which you want from the cube since there are no any detail information about the cube. Here are some basic knowledge for your reference.

How to use dbms_Scheduler.Create_Job from within stored procedure?

Hello,
using 10g (10.1.0.2.0) on Windows 2000 I had problems to create scheduler jobs from within a stored procedure (see example below). What easily succeeds using anonymous blocks failed when calling from a stored procedure, due to ORA-27486. Only when I compile the procedure with invoker's rights the call to dbms_Job.Create_Job is successfull!? From my knowledge there is no difference between invoker's and definer's rights, if I compile and call with the same user, is there?
Does anyone know the reason for this behaviour or is it simply a bug?
Have a nice day.

end;
exec sched1; -- This call fails with ORA-27486.
exec sched2; -- This call succeeds!
/* Cleanup.
exec dbms_scheduler.drop_job('TEST_JOB1', true);
exec dbms_scheduler.drop_job('TEST_JOB2', true);
drop table t;

Your example code ran without problems for me on 10.1.0.3.0 so it probably is a bug.

Best approach to using command link from within a custom component

I have created a navigation component "Menu" , used as follows:
<custom:menu />The contents of menu are stored in an xml file and the Menu component delegates the rendering to a custom renderer, which basicaly writes out html links. (Actually, the component does a lot more, but I'm simplifying to get to the point.).
Sometimes, I need to render a command link instead of a regular html link. I don't want to re-invent the wheel here, so I want to delegate this to the standard command link components.
Approach 1: create child components within the Menu component constructor, e.g.
HtmlCommandLink c = new HtmlCommandLink();
          MethodExpression e = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getExpressionFactory().
               createMethodExpression(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext(),
               "#{registrationEditor.enterSubmission}",
               String.class,
               new Class[] { });
          c.setActionExpression(e);
          c.setValue("TestLink");
          c.setTransient(true);
          getChildren().add(c);Approach 2: delegate to the CommandLinkRenderer within my custom renderer, e.g.CommandLinkRenderer delegate = new CommandLinkRenderer();
                    HtmlCommandLink link = new HtmlCommandLink();
                    ExpressionFactory elFactory =
                         FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
                    MethodExpression actionExpression =
                         elFactory.createMethodExpression(context.getELContext(), c.getExpression(), String.class, new Class[] {});
                    link.setActionExpression(actionExpression);
                    link.setParent(component.getParent());
                    link.setValue(c.getLabel());
                    delegate.encodeBegin(context, link);
                    delegate.encodeChildren(context, link);
                    delegate.encodeEnd(context, link);Is either of these a respectable approach - they feel a little hackish. If so, which do you prefer. If not, what do you recommend?
Thanks
Richard

I think either is a fine approach and not at all hackish. I prefer the second, although I couldn't tell you why (just a gut feeling). That said, I haven't tried either so there may be hidden problems. My main concern would be what happens when the request is submitted from the page, that the Restore View phase is done correctly so that the proper event is fired.

Ask for Domain Password when using a Certificate from within Active Directory CS

We are using certificates created by Active Directory Certificate Services, and stored within AD. We can sign documents with the certificates, but would like the added layer of security to have Acrobat prompt the user to enter their AD password again to apply the signature. The reasoning...if a user walks away from their computer and does not lock it, anyone can come up and create and sign a document with the other person's signature. If we can prompt the user for authentication again when they click Sign, this problem would be avoided.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but where exactly is this set? What program? Is this within Windows or LiveCycle?
Again, we're dealing with certificates that are stored in the Active Directory Certificate Store, not on the local machine.
Thanks again.

Using "Mail document" from within Preview

I noticed that when in Preview if I attempt to use the "Mail document" function under the "File" menu the Preview document does not get attached to the new Mail document. To enable this function I must go to the print menu, scroll down to "Mail document" and, voila, the Preview document now appears in the Mail message panel.
I suspect a bug here. Have others experienced this?
(This happens on the G5; I haven't tried on the MacBook Pro.)

The "Mail Document" option in preview works fine for me...dunno what the problem could be, but perhaps if you removed the preferences file for preview from your "~/Library/Preferences/" folder, that might help resolve it. Faulty preferences files are causing folks a lot of application misbehaviors.

Using Accessor Method from Within Considered Best Practice?

I was wondering what is considered best practice in the AS3 world regarding this topic.
In C++ and .NET world, as well as PHP I would consider using accessor methods, instead of directly accessing the class property, bad practice due to unnecessary overhead.
What are your thoughts in this?

Getters and setters and bindable vars can be public, protected or private. Which one you choose follows standard object-oriented practices.
is just like a macro that defines a particular get/set pair. I would only use it on vars. Using it on a getter simply wraps the getter in another get/set pair which is wasteful. The Flex Framework rarely uses . Instead, we typically define get/set pairs with metadata so we can control what event fires and when. It also saves SWF size because the compiler doesn't have to generate a long and ugly name to avoid name collisions.

Adobe Javascript from within Excel VBA

I have some limited experience with Excel VBA and Adobe Javascript separately, but have never tried to put them together. I am rather baffled by the use of “DoJavaScript” from within Excel VBA. I have a number of Illustrator JavaScripts that do various tasks (mostly measure and set properties on illustrator drawing objects to determine some geometric metrics). I wanted to run these scripts from within Excel VBA (they run without problem when directly called into Illustrator). My hope was to pass a few real numbers from VBA into the JavaScript before one ran to set some run parameters and then get a few real numbers back out from the JavaScript back into VBA. I cannot seem to get even the simple DoJavaScript command given in the Adobe VBscript reference to run. Reading other posts that seem somewhat related it is not clear if I am doing something very simple wrong, or if my understanding of the use of the DoJavaScript command is misguided. Anyone able to shed some light on this?
My last try was this simple test...almost directly from the Adobe reference:
Private Sub SetScale_CommandButton1_Click()
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
Set myNumberOfDocuments = appRef.DoJavaScript("documents.length;")
MsgBox myNumberOfDocuments
End Sub
I am really hoping to be able to run javascripts that are a few hundred lines long....but if I cannot even get something simple to go then I am about to give up on it.
Thanks for any suggestions

Carlos;
I am most grateful! ... I was stumped on that for hours, thought I had tried about every combinatory possible, and was about to give up on getting the DoJavaScript method to work. There are few examples of this on the web, so for anyone else who would like a bit more verbose example I post below is a simple VBA sub-routine that uses a javascript function to return the number of selected objects in the current active illustrator document and displays that number in a message box in excel. Simple example, but it was the sort if thing I was looking for all over the web before Carlos’ help.
Cheers,
Brian
Private Sub ObjectNum()
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
      tmp$ = "function myfunction() {"
      tmp$ = tmp$ + "var idoc = app.activeDocument;"
      tmp$ = tmp$ + "var sel = idoc.selection;"
      tmp$ = tmp$ + "var numobj = sel.length;"
      tmp$ = tmp$ + "return numobj;};"
      tmp$ = tmp$ + "myfunction();"
numobj = appRef.DoJavaScript(tmp$)
MsgBox numobj
End Sub

Using T3 Services from EJB's

I want to use weblogic's T3Services from within stateless session beans. But when I try to do this I get the following error
java.rmi.RemoteException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/common/T3ServicesDef
and when I try to put \weblogic\classes in JAVA_CLASSPATH while starting weblogic the server does not start.
Is their a way of using these services from within EJB's
I am using weblogic 5.1.0 service pack 6 under WINNT environment with SP5
Thanks

You have classpath problems. Please post the classpath and the weblogic
classpath that you are using to start the server. In particular, make
sure that your ejb-jar is not found in either of these.

Problem calling servlet from within a jsp

I have a servlet which obtains images for a page
http://bychance.ca/servlet/ImageServlet?PhotoId=AJ-LA-4008
I use the servlet from within a jsp
<img src="servlet/ImageServlet?PhotoId=<%=rs.getObject("ID")%>" border="0">
for some reason it does not work, the images are never called. I have another servlet which is called the same way and it works fine
<img src="servlet/ImageServletLarge?PhotoId=<%=strPhotoId%>" border="0">
Thank you all for your time

this is my servlet code. Like I said it works fine in another servlet
rs.next();
byte[] bytearray = new byte[rs.getInt(1)];
int size=0;
InputStream sImage;
sImage = rs.getBinaryStream(2);
response.reset();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
while((size=sImage.read(bytearray))!= -1 )
response.getOutputStream().write(bytearray,0,size);
response.flushBuffer();
sImage.close();

Start a WS application from within a java program

Hi,
I need to start a WebStart application from within a java program. Therefore I develeoped a class which starts javaws.exe within its main-method like this:
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
"c:\\java web start\\javaws.exe http://a.b/c.jnlp"
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
And that did not work. Java Web Start tries to start the .jnlp program but returns with the message, that the app-desc|applet-desc|installer-desc|component-desc is missing. But it is there: It is an applet and thus I defined an applet-dec.
I tried to do it from a command line with the followinf command:
java -Djnlpx.home="C:\abc" -cp "C:\abc\javaws.jar" com.sun.javaws.Main http://a.b/c.jnlp
And that works. But using this command from within my jjava prog using the Runtime.exec() method does not work.
By the way, simply type "javaws http://a.b/c.jnlp" at the command line does not work.
Can anybody help me? How may I start a .jnlp program within another java program.
Kind Regards,
Tobias Neubert

Hi,
I recently had a quite similar problem. At least the error message by the Java Web Start application on Mac OS X complained about the same error (app-desc|applet-desc|installer-desc|component-desc). It turned out to be some bad invisible characters in the jnlp file. I copied some sample from a web page which for some reason contained some unicode chars that the parser doesn't like. Use a different text editor or the less command on unix to see if there are some strange characters in you jnlp file.
But it seems strange that it does work from the command line and not from your code.

Calling a webservice from within Bex Web Application Designer

Hi
I have a web-template built with BEx web application designer which also contains textboxes. This text should be stored by calling a webservice (standard BI-documents are not an option).
Can anyone tell me how I could call a webservice from within the BEx web template to store the text contained in the textbox? The webservice-call should include some of the filter-varialbes of the web application.
Is this only possible by the use of a JavaScript WebItem? If so - does anyone have an example of such a JavaScript.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards.
Christoph

Thanks for your response. The BSP page would work out fine if I only needed to save the data.
But the next time I call the webtemplate, the textarea should be filled by another webservice call with the stored text (so the text can be modified und saved again). This will not be possible by calling a BSP page.
Do yoiu have any suggestions how to integrate the text (return value from the webservice call) into the textbox in the webtemplate?
Kind regards.
Christoph

Thunderbird only opens on the default if one profile
or
if Profile Manager is instructed to ask at startup it will allow you to choose which Profile to open else it opens on the last Profile used..
So it shows one Profile at a time in one instance of Thunderbird.
However, one Profile can have many mail accounts.
eg: I run 4 mail accounts in one Profile.
