VBA Call WebServices: How to handle a returned empty complex array?

Hi,
These days I got a task to call a web service by VBA in Excel, but faced the following two problems about empty complex array.
<b>1. When the returned value of a web service contains empty array, it crashed with "SoapMapper: array dimensions do not match definition"</b>
Another guy faced the same question with me, detail at http://www.topxml.com/SOAPToolkit/rn-246726_SoapMapper-array-dimensions-do-not-match-definition.aspx
<b>2. When the input parameter contains empty array, it crashed with "Operation Not Supported"</b>
Dim arrayStudent() As Student
Call webservice.DoThings( arrayStudent )

Hello,
we have faced the same Problem in our PHP / Typo3 solution. We used this switch:
$object_array = array();
if (is_object($salesorders->SALES_ORDERS_HEAD->item)) {
$object_array[] = $salesorders->SALES_ORDERS_HEAD->item;
} else {
$object_array = $salesorders->SALES_ORDERS_HEAD->item;
Best regards

How to handle BAPI RETURN message?

Hi ,
I developed a bapi ,it is calling from java application . i don't konw how to send the return message to java application .Pl any one help out this problem.
Thanks&Regards,
Pratap

bapi's normally have a return parameter of type BAPIRETURN (structure) or BAPIRET (internal table) that contain the result messages from a bapi. So if you develop your own bapi you should add this kind of export parameter.

How to handle carriage return/linefeed embedded in text field as first char

Hi,
I am trying to use sqlldr to import text that is comma-separated and double quote-enclosed, but contains embedded carriage return/linefeed pairs. I have a control file which works for most cases and looks like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE './foo.new'
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST PRESERVE (<>'"')
INTO TABLE <tablename>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Unfortunately, this fails when the very first character of the text field is a carriage return/linefeed pair, e.g.,:
"11","22","33","\r\nThis is the fourth field","","","","",""
In that case, what is actually the opening double-quote for the fourth field, is interpreted by the CONTINUEIF clause as the end of that line. Can anyone please point me to a solution?
thanks.
stan.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I've already tried it, and it doesn't help. I believe the problem is that sqlldr tries to figure out where each record is delimited before it parses out the field. So, any field-level trimming depends on sqlldr first determining that the cr/lf is actually part of that record, and not an indication of the start of a new record (and it's doing the latter right now). Fwiw, Python's csv parser will handle this type of record just fine.

How to Handle NET, Return Phone - Verizon Wireless Store vs. Wireless Zone

Background:
My wife needed a new phone and we had available a NET credit on the her number for a new phone we were currently on a Month-to-Month since the original contract was up. She chose a Samsung Reality phone. We dropped one line of the Family plan (from 4 to 3 lines) because we would now be paying 9.99 monthly for data plan required on the new line and the secondary line wasn't being used anyway. New 1400 Family plan + 9.99 monthly data plan is activated with corporate discount.
My wife has been using the Reality and doesn't like the touch wizard features and the way the phone answers the call as she's pulling it out of her pocket (among other things). We are within 20 days of the original purchase/upgrade and went back to the VZ store to return for an LG Chocolate Touch - which my wife like's better. It was a Friday - clerk says no phones in stock and if he orders it will be Tues/Wed before he can get the phone. We decide to come back the next week (Tues). Clerk let's us know the LG Chocolate is not available within 500 mile radius (he thinks it's being discontinued). My wife does not like the other available phones and/or the 29.99 data plan requirements on some phones. Now What!
Her brother contacts his preferred provider - Wireless Zone. They say they have the LG Chocolate in-stock and can make the switch.
Now I'm concerned about the return of the original upgrade phone to VZ store and then being able to get the NET discount on the LG Chocolate (after getting credit from VZ store - $35 service charge).
Can the authorized reseller apply a NET if the original upgrade phone is returned and roll the contract on the corporate discount?
Thanks for any help!

That would depend on the policies of the authorized reseller. Some honor the NE2, some do not. When you use an authorized reseller, you are actually signing TWO contracts, and Verizon's is secondary to the reseller's - read everything carefully so you know what the rules are and what your options are.

How to Handle Large Dumps and Complex Calculations in OBIEE

Hi,
We are working on some reports in OBIEE and we are unable to optimize performace. Please consider following scenerios:
1) Detail Report
In this particular report we have essentaily data dump. That is there are 5 Dimentions and a Fact table and we are just selecting
fields from various Dimentions and facts. But the problem is there are over 5000 records. I guess that is making report very slow.
Another issue is when we click on PAGE Contols, they simply dont work, that is if we click on (>>) to see all records its takes lots
of time but show only first 25 records. Any idea what is the problem.
2) Calculated Report
We have one calculated report where there are 7 calculated columns. Because every column contains different Measures and we have to
use lots of Filter expressions
Eg: Filter (Measure1 USING {@VarDate} BETWEEN DIM1.FromDate and Dim1.Todate AND {@VarDate} BETWEEN DIM2.FromDate and Dim2.Todate AND <SOME OTHER FILTERS> )
The Granuality of data is at employee level and there are around 1388726 records in Fact table.
Is there is any way to optimize above except to create a summary table instead?
kindly guide us on above scenerios

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I was trying things suggested, I found that the actual physical SQL (which I can get from "Manage Session" link) run in like 4-5 seconds in Query analyzer but: when I studied SQL carefully it does not contain some fiters which we I have applied in report.
From example i have a filter in report <Measure.Present = 1 > but in Physical SQL i cannot see that filter. However, the results it gives on dashboard are correct that is after it applies the fillter.
Any idea why is this happening?
My guess is because above filter is not being applied at physical sql level thats why query fetches like 20000 recors in server cache and then it applies <Measure.Present = 1 >. Thats why it might be taking time ?
Please give me your suggestions.
Thanks !

How to handle error msgs in one system which are available only in another?

Hi Experts,
    I have two SAP systems A and B. An ABAP program in system A calls Function module in System B.
    System B returns any error with message id, class and variables in the event of any invalid data.
    How to handle this returned error message in system A when the message class exists only in system B.
    One way is to create a copy of this message class along with all the messages in system A.
    But the function module in system B calls many BAPIs which in turn may return messages from many different message classes. So making a copy of so many message classes in System A means creating so many custom objects.
   Is there any better way to handle this without creating the message classes in System A?
Thanks & Regards
Gopal
Edited by: gopalkrishna baliga on Apr 27, 2010 6:28 AM

Hi Gopal,
    As per my understanding your function module can retrun any number of error messages and it may have varied descriptions.It would be difficult to handle each of these error individually.
One of the methods can be..use the raise exception otion whenever any error is encountered if you want to do in the shortedt way.
you can catch all th set of error in soem exceptions and then use the same.
Handling each error individually in the source system would be difficult if these errors do not exisit in the source system at all.

Getserver cookie - returns empty page

Hi,
I am using MVC,
I have firstpage - a controller for that and a model class.
I have second page - a controller for that and the model is the same as the first one.
I am using a single model class but multiple controllers and multiple views. I am trying to use server cookies to set and get attributes between the pages.
First Page - I have 2 attributes - on Do_init - I instantiate Model. Do_request - loads the firstpage. Do_handle-data - once the data is entered in firstpage, gets it from form fields and loads it into cookie.
Do_handle_event - gets the values from the cookie and processes it and makes a table to be passed to the seconf page. I loaded this table in the cookie and - call second.do
Second page - in controller - DOInit - i have again instantiated Model - in Dorequest - I try to read from the cookie for the table data...But I am getting an empty page. I debugged it and in the Do request - where I call the get_server_cookie - nothing happens, just returns empty page...
Does anyone know why?? can I not access the cookie by name in more than once controllers??
Is this a right way of navigating between pages?? I want all the objects in the pages accessible across all the pages...should be able to read and write as per events...please suggest...
Thanks
Thilothama

Hi,
Put that cookie in the navigation->set_parameter and paas it to the next page in the page attributes as an 'AUTO'.
Hope this may help you.

Who know how to handle pl/sql table return from stored procedure calling from jsp

I have some stored procedure which return pl/sql table (index by table), It is look like an array. how jdbc handle this?
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("EXECUTE bill.getcountry(?,?)");
cs.setInt(1, cid);
cs.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);// ARRAY?
ResultSet rs = cs.executeQuery();
Array array = (Array) rs.getObject (1);
ResultSet array_rset = array.getResultSet ();

Not that familiar with the OCI (Oracle Call Interface), but I think this call will be problematic - the OCI deals with SQL data types and not with PL/SQL structures.
The OCI has since Oracle 8i sported an object call interface (see OCI Runtime Environment for Objects for details).
This allows you to use the CREATE TYPE command to create advance user data types - and these are supported by the SQL engine, PL/SQL engine and external languages via the OCI.
So you need to have a look at the Perl-DBI documentation to see how it supports Oracle object types and consider using these. As for internal PL/SQL data structures. These are not supported by the SQL engine and I would expect limited or no support in the OCI for these. Anyway, using SQL data types makes a lot more sense ito flexibility and transparency across languages and environments.

How to handle multiple actions in the webservice ?

Hi Guys,
I have multiple operations in the webservcie and under soap action in the receiver soap adapter, i dont know how to handle multiple soap operations.
can anybody guide me, how to acheive this ?
Thanks,

Hi Srini !
This weblog shows the general design of a scenario with BPM
/people/krishna.moorthyp/blog/2005/06/09/walkthrough-with-bpm
This link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/de/766840bf0cbf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
show how to insert a predefined BPM pattern. You could use one of the BpmPatternSerialize.... patterns to see how you BPM should look like...
Basically it should be:
1) Receive Step (async/sync, as you need) to trigger the BPM
2) Send step (sync) for first webservice
3) Send step (sync) for second webservice
N) Send step (sync) for N webservice
N+1) if the whole communication is sync, here you need to use a send step to return back the answer to sender.

How to get the array of Complex when call a webserivce method it's return an array of user define data struct?

I have tried use Pendingcall.response & Pendingcall.getOutPutValues() in Pendingcall.onResult event function...

Flash Lite doesn't fully support webservices, so you will find it difficult to use the full api set.
I suggest that you use SWX (swxformat.org) or simply HTTP requests for transactions.
