Hello,
I have create a action for call a WebDynpro Application. But it gives a exception. The error comes before my WD Application was calling.
java.lang.NullPointerException

I use the transaction SWFVISU. I have re-registered the System and the item. I customized my own view in configuration file with <DisplayAttribute name="detailIcon" actionRef="launchWebDynPro"/> . With sap standard action i have no problem but with my own.
Can anybody help me.
best regards

Karsten,
Can you post two things to help us resolve your problem:
1. The section of the UWL XML file which configures launching the Web Dynpro
2. The URL of the Web Dynpro application when you launch it in "preview" mode
Here's a sample which worked for me on a previous project:
  <ItemTypes>
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90000001" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="ESCRView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="pessimistic">
      <ItemTypeCriteria externalType="TS90000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="UWLChoiceList"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="local/ESCR01"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="Launch Choice List">
          </Descriptions>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
      <Menu>
        <MenuItem name="launchWebDynPro" actionRef="launchWebDynPro"/>
      </Menu>
    </ItemType>

  • Manage UWL action buttons

    Hi experts,
    I've customized the buttons that are displayed in the UWL. In the beginning i had only "Create task" button but after that i added "Manage substitution rules" and "Refresh" as buttons by changing uwl.standart.xml. The buttons are added successfully but now the refresh is shown not only as a button but as a link in the right side with the other two links "Show filters" "Hide preview". Is there any way to remain the button but remove the link of the refresh. I have to say that the other option "Manage substitution rules" is added only as a button but not as a link - this is exactly what i am expecting as a final result for the refresh. Here is the xml for refresh action:
        <Action name="refresh" groupAction="yes" handler="UIActionHandler" referenceBundle="refresh" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="SHOW_HEADERLESS_PORTAL">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="type" value="button"/>
            <Property name="onClick" value="onForceRefresh"/>
    <Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/>
          </Properties>
        </Action>
    For comparison here is the Substitution manager action in the xml:
        <Action name="launchSubstitutionManager" groupAction="yes" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" referenceBundle="SubstitutionManager" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowName="Substitution" launchNewWindowFeatures="width=800,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="UWLSubstitution"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui"/>
            <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="uwlSessionId=${context.uwlSessionId}&amp;configureGroup=${context.configureGroup}"/>

            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/>
          </Properties>
        </Action>
    These actions are also added in the defaultView :

    Any suggestions will be very helpful.

    Hi Teodor,
    To remove the "Refresh" link from UWL find the effective UWL iView in Portal Content Administration, open its properties and see the property with name "List of UWL Actions to exclude". Once you find it put as a value the word "refresh" withouth the quotes. Use the "Preview" button to see the effect.

  • DeclareControl tag gives nullPointerException

    Hi guys,
    I upgraded my code from 8.1.5 to 10.2. In one JSP file we are using declareControl tag as
    *<netui-compat-data:declareControl controlId="abcDBControl" type="abcDBControl"/>*

  • Is there a way to save a job action for YouTube upload in Compressor 3.5?

    Is there a way to save a job action for YouTube upload? I have about 25 - ten minute clips I want to upload and they all pretty much have the same description and tags. Is there a way to save/make a preset of the job actions that way I don't have to keep inputing the same usernames, passwords, descriptions, tags? Thank you

    the method mentioned by benwiggy will certainly work.  If you want to an option that would give you more options, you could use a PDF Service.  You could then put a specific job on hold while still allowing others to use the printer.
    You can do this by opening AppleScript Editor (/Applications/Utilities).  You can copy and paste the following into an editor window --
    on open printJobs
    tell application "Finder"
    set trapFile to quoted form of POSIX path of (printJobs as string)
    end tell
    set defaultPrinter to do shell script "lpstat -d | awk -F: '{print $2}'"
    do shell script "lpr -P" & defaultPrinter & " -q " & trapFile
    end open
    Save the file as an Application.  You can name it something like Hold Print Job.  Then just put it in the PDF Services directory in the Library directory of your Home folder <yourname>/Library/PDF Services.  You may need to make the PDF Services directory as it may not already be there.
    Once the file is in place, you can use it by using the PDF drop down menu at the bottom left of a print window.  That will send the file to the printer and put it on hold.  Others can still use the printer.  You can then print your file whenever you want.  Just open the print queue as mentioned by benwiggy.  Highlight the job that is Paused.  You will see a little curly icon at the very right (looks like a reload icon in a web browser).  Just click that icon and the job will start printing.

  • Deleting a row from a Parent VO gives NullPointerException

    I am using JDev 11.1.1.2.0
    Deleting a row from a Parent VO gives NullPointerException raised from oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl.vetoRemoveWithDetails(EntityImpl.java:8214)
    Here is my implementation:
    There are two Entity Objects(Named "Parent" and "Child").
    Both EO are NOT based on a database table. (These are populated from a method in the AM, the method calls a database API that returns an nested array and this array is used to populate the Parent and Child entities)
    All attributes in these entity objects are Non-persistent.
    The View Object "ParentEv" is based on "Parent" EO
    The View Object "ChildEv" is based on "Child" EO
    The View Objects "ParentEv" and "ChildEv" are linked by a view link.
    The Entities "Parent" and"Child" are linked by Entity Association ( as "Composition Association" with "Implement Cascade Delete" checked.)
    I am programatically deleting and populating the View Objects ParentEv and ChildEv from a method in the AM.
    The first time I execute the method in BC Tester, it works fine.
    The second time I execute the method it works fine.
    But on third execution, it gives the below error which seems to be NullPointerException raised from oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl.vetoRemoveWithDetails(EntityImpl.java:8214)
    I am able to reproduce this in a test case scenario. It always works the first 2 times and fails when the method to delete and populate the VOs is executed a 3rd time.
    If we base the "Parent" and "Child" entities on some dummy database views, it works fine, the problem only occurs when the Entities are NOT based on any table.
    Can someone advise on what could be causing this issue?
    Thanks,
    Mitesh.

    Here's the method that I use in my test case to populate the VOs.
       * This method populates the VOs ParentEv and ChildEv.
       * These VOs are based on EOs Paren and Child, respectively.
       * Before populating the VOs I am deleting any existing rows.
       * The first two times this method is executed, it works fine.
       * The third time this method executes it gives a nullpointerexception raised from
       * oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl.vetoRemoveWithDetails(EntityImpl.java:8214)
      public void populateMethod(){
        int rowCount = getParentEv().getRowCount();   
        for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
             Row row = getParentEv().last();
             if(row!=null)
               row.remove();
        rowCount = getChildEv().getRowCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
         Row row = getChildEv().last();
         if(row!=null)
           row.remove();
        int k = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {   
          ParentEvRowImpl parentEvRow = (ParentEvRowImpl)getParentEv().createRow();
          parentEvRow.setParentPk("Parent " + i);
          parentEvRow.setParentDesc("Parent Desc " + i);
          getParentEv().insertRow(parentEvRow);   
          for (int j = 1; j < 5; j++) {   
         k++;

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

    adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

    forbemag
    I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
    You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
    The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
    In view of all that
    Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
    Let me give you an example
    If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
    If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
    Thanks.

  • How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

    i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
    need i say more?!
    i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
    supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
    i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
    i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
    Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

    It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works.  To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height.  Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy.  When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked.  Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size.  This lets you add a border sized for and document.  You can use Canvas Size check relative and  leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom.  You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
    Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels.  You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

  • Is UWL mandatory for Workflow ?

    Hi ,
    I am newbie to Worflow in EP.
    I am able to see SBWP ( SAP Mail box ) in EP and some Work flow iviews (leave req,appraisal).
    If i try to trigger Worflow from my leave req , i am getting the error msg " You are not one of the possible agents of the task" even tough it's a general task.
    We haven't implemented KM / Collaboration.so is UWL mandatory for accessing WF in Portal ?
    Rgds,
    J

    hi,
    As far as i think u need to implement UWL for accessing workflow in portal. Without UWL u will be able to see the workflow iviews but u won't be able to do any work on that.
    For details pliz check out the links.
    Think outside the box - enhance  processes with Universal Worklist Action Handlers!
    Create new UI's for existing workflow tasks with ABAP Web Dynpro and Universal Worklist!

  • Remove UWL Action from just one item type

    I would like to remove the "forward" action from only one item type in the UWL.  There is the ability to remove an action from all items in a particular iView using "List of UWL Actions to exclude", however, I can not find out how, or if it is possible to exclude a UWL action in the XML configuration file for just one item type.  We are on NWO4s sp 05.  Does anyone know if this can be done and what the xml snippet would look like that would remove the "forward" action from a single item type?
    Regards,
    Stephanie.

    Kiran,
    The xml snippet you sent does remove the "forward" action from the UWL preview iView, but it does not remove the action from the list view.  To the right of every item in the list view is the "properties" icon (unclear on the actual name of this icon - the one that has 3 small lines and a triangle).  When this is clicked the "forward" option still appears.  I am looking for a way to totally disable the forward option on the defaultView, but only for certain item types.
    Regards,
    Stephanie.

  • LiveCycle unable to access Cache Controller. Exception message - Error accessing the cache container - Error on GET action for cache Replicated:UM_CLUSTER_INVALIDATION_CACHE

    The incident starts after all the members are removed from the DCS Stack DefaultCoreGroup view and added back again by WebSphere Application Server. Following exceptions are seen after LiveCycle was added back in again to the view.

    I have tried looking for the root cause about why LiveCycle was not able to resume normally, didn't find anything related.

    LiveCycle uses Gemfire as distributed cache for cluster members. If you are using TCP Locators (caching based on TCP instead of UDP), below are the possible situations which might lead to “ForcedDisconnectException” :
    - There is time difference between two nodes.
    - These is network connectivity issues.
    - The high CPU usage by the member crashed.

  • Installing Actions for Elements on a Mac

    Does anyone know why I have no "Adobe" folder in "Applications Support" folder under library on my Mac hardrive while trying to download actions for Elements 10?

    In the app store version everything is contained within the app package itself, as required by apple's app store guidelines. The problem is that the app store version doesn't seem to care much about mediadatabase.db3 at all. In PSE 9, the app store version never regenerates mediaDatabase.db3 and runs happily without it. In PSE 10, sometimes it works. I'd also delete thumbsDatabase.db3, too.
    If you right click the app itself and choose Show package contents>contents, you will find the stuff that is normally in library>application support in a folder in there called Application Data. You will get an error message that it can't be modified when you try to put the actions in there. Click Authenticate and give it your OS X account password and it will let you add them.
    However, you may find you're restricted to running actions in the actions player.

  • Impulse trigger to create a time delay of x ms to perform an action for y ms

    Hello all,
    Here is what i'm trying to do:
    I'm measuring an audio signal when a sound level is above a certain value Y (controllable) i need to wait a few ms (around 900ms) to get pass the main sound compound. Yhen i need to filter the next few ms (around 500ms) of data and do a FFT of that part of the filtered data only once until Y is reached again.
    I can do all this with saved data but i'm struggling to do it as it occurs without saving the data.
    I have everything in place i just need to know in general how to use an impulse trigger to a create time delay of x ms to perform an action for y ms.
    Do you have any ideas how i can achieve this?
    Thank you in advance,
    Frederic.

    Hi Frederic,
    I've looked at your program and I have a few questions. What is the purpose of the Two While Loops that simply have a Case Structure that nothing in the false case and a Wait (ms) function in the true case? As it stands if these loops go into the false case then there is nothing to slow down the execution so the will try to run as fast as possible and not give the processor any time for other tasks which may explain why your computer goes so slow whilst this is running. This also applies to the While Loop where the false case says "If its not time to write the measurement file, do nothing."
    I believe that what you want to look at is a Producer/Consumer(data) Pattern, where you have one loop that generates your data (producer), in this case reads in the sound data, and then a processing loop (consumer) that will do the Fat's and log data to a file etc.
    More information about this can be found here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3023
    Hopefully this helps you a bit. Let me know any questions you have.

  • Automator Actions for iTunes U ... Happy Monday Everyone!

    I was inspired by Apple's Steve Hayman (the other, other Steve) to create a set of Automator actions for iTunes U. The first three are done and I have posted them:
    http://itunes.uic.edu/woolamaloo-automator-actions.dmg.zip
    The three actions are:
    Upload Items to iTunes U -- takes a set of files from a previous action, uploads the content to iTunes U, given a target URL in which to place the content ("Copy iTunes URL" in iTunes and paste in to say where you want stuff to go).
    Get iTunes U Daily Report Logs -- yes, now you can script logs!
    Get iTunes U XML -- returns site XML, minimally, mostly, and maximally ... or just the XML from a handle. Send the results to a file, explore it at your leisure ... or modify the results to change your site.
    More to come (promises, promises) ... but I wanted to get this out there for those who might find this useful. Oh yeah, I did include the briefest of brief manuals plus some sample workflows to give you an idea of how to use the actions.
    Enjoy!

    That's pretty cool! Thanks!
    Any idea why I might be getting the following output from my Get XML action? I am using the exact same information (shared secret, Admin credential, and Site URL) as for the other actions (that work just fine)...

  • Actions for Lead Tx.

    Hi Forum,
    I am creating an action for lead trans.
    my requirement is to open three different transactions of type activity, meeting and task based on each qualification status being set and saved.
    so my condition on paper will look like: Qualification Level (QL)
    when Q L = cold open Tx: task
    or
    when Q L = warm open Tx: activity
    or
    when Q L = ho open Tx: Meeting
    Please let me know whether this condition be set in this action, I have created the action profile and the process type i have given method call parameters as activity, meeting and task.
    I can also set the condition, I just want to know how do i give the command (say) open Tx: task  in the condition editor.
    Please help me with this.
    Thanx
    Neetika

    Hi Sathish,
    yes your doubt is genuine and in case you know that after qualifying a lead as hot by the sales rep, you can create a follow up opportunity and there are various activities within a opportunity which is called sales assistant and they take you through various phases in opportunity sand estimate the sales pipeline and close the deal.
    Normally a lead is a potential intrest exihibted by the customer in your product and normally qualification is the process that takes place to identify his level of intrest using questionnaires and then you feel he is hot then opportunity is created. So ideally there would be very little chance to create a follow up activity transaction for a lead and in case the customer wants you to call him or meet him, all these are captured in the opportunity phases after qualifying him as potential customer. You can create follow activity from a lead and that depend on your business process.
    Thanks and if helpful please reward points.
