VI Scripting -- setting order of objects on FP

I've got a application where I'm using VI scripting to move stuff around on the front panel of a bunch of VI's to make them conform to coding guidelines. One of the problems I have is that some objects are on top of other objects (when they are supposed to be behind other objects). I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to use VI scripting to make one item on the FP on top of (or behind) another object (LV2012sp1).
Any help?
Thanks

Try something like this.
Be aware that this VI uses private methods and will have no support from NI until the method has been made public.

OMBPLUS - Setting properties of objects in Collection.

Hi All,
I am trying to set the Deployable property of objects in a collection in order to automate our deployment process. Basically, we use collections for our releases, and I want to set the property as above before running our deployment script which looks for objects that are marked as deployable.
see below my attempt at this:
#logging file
set OMBLOG C:\\CORT_BAUV_13\\OMB\\omblog.txt
set fParams [open Params.lst r]
gets $fParams OwbUsername
gets $fParams OwbPasswd

gets $fParams DwhAdmUsername
gets $fParams Passwd
gets $fParams resetAll
gets $fParams Collection
close $fParams
#REPOSITORY CONNECTION

puts "Resetting Data Auditors $dtaList"
foreach dtaName $dtaList {
OMBALTER DATA_AUDITOR '$dtaName' SET PROPERTIES (DEPLOYABLE) VALUES (1)
OMBCOMMIT
OMBDISC
Currrently, I get this error:
OMB01004: Current context is not an Oracle module context.
Any ideas?

thanks david...
the main problem is getting the module to switch context to..
the result of the puts "Resetting Data Auditors $dtaList" is as follows:
Resetting Data Auditors /MI_HEAD/TGT_STAGE/VALID_BUSINESS_AREA_AUDIT
/MI_HEAD/TGT_STAGE/VALID_DRAWDOWN_AUDIT /MI_HEAD/TGT_STAGE_LD/VALID_LD_CONNECTION_AUDIT
the result above does show the module of each object but how do i dynamically change context to each module
i.e
foreach dtaName $dtaList {
OMBCC $dtaName
OMBALTER DATA_AUDITOR '$dtaName' SET PROPERTIES (DEPLOYABLE) VALUES (1)
i tried OMBCC$dtaName
OMBCC '..'
to get into the context of the module that holds the object, but that still did not work...
thanks,

Order of Object Creation

I need to know what order various objects are created and processed. An example will be most helpful.
class A {
A() { myFunc();    }
public void myFunc() {}
class B extends A {
class innerB {       public void funcInnerB() { ... do some work ...       } }
public void myFunc() {       someVar.funcInnerB();   }
innerB someVar = new innerB();
When class B is instantiated the following happens [assuming I coded my example properly :) ]
1. The default B constructor is called.
2. It calls the A constructor.
3. The method myFunc in class B is called from A constructor.
4. a NULL Pointer error occurs because someVar has appearantly not yet been assigned to the new innerB object.
This is my problem, why is someVar not being created immediately? I don't know if this problem is universal, but in my particular application, it is happening this way. (I can't post the actual code, because it is way, way too long.)
I tried using an initialization block in class B to assign someVar, but the same problem occurs.
Here's my current workaround:
in class B:
public void myFunc() { if (someVar == null) { someVar = new innerB() }
someVar.funcInnerB(); }
But I am hoping there is a better solution and I am worried about when I may run into this situation. So, I am hoping there is a definitive guide to the order everything is created.
Thanks in advance.

It's not a good idea to call non-final methods from a non-final class because of exactly what you found. The NullPointerException happens because of the order of processing that you described - by the time you get to B.myFunc(), the B members have not been initialized. First, the superclass is fully initialized. All members are set to their initial values, then the constructor is executed. After the superclass constructor finishes, then the subclass members are initialized, and any further subclass constructor processing occurs.

Sales order cost objective vs OKB9 Internal order cost object.

Hi All,
we facing an issue with sales order cost objective vs OKB9 cost object.
For IC PO service material, we assigned account assignment category 4.Reasonis Service material was not showing on G\R account.
The G\L account 7898788, we assigned to Service Item (material type DIEN) , for G\Cost 7898788 cost element is assigned in OKB9. Combination business + order 3478787.
Now conflict with sales order cost objective vs OKB9 internal order cost object.
While posting intercompany IR posting system thronging below error messageu2026
Enter only one true account assignment
Message no. KI249
Diagnosis
You made assignments to several objects in CO (cost center, order, project etc.). 2 of these have been created as true objects.
System Response
You are allowed only one account assignment for each cost-relevant account
How to resolve this issue.. Do I make any config changes in the system to overcome this issue?
Or any sub account to assin in VKOA config for internal orderu2026

Hi Waman,
Thanks for your inputs.
Issue : IR failed to post for wax Sales Order -> ICPO - Error: Enter only one true account assignmentu2019.
Background:
Original setup in Test system & Productionu2013 account determination for servive (DIEN) account assignment category u20184u2019 was linked to G/L Account 34444444, As part of project orange u2019, account determination was linked to account u201889710100u2019.
Account u20188970100u2019 34444444 was replaced with 8970100 ,is not linked to any cost center & always post with reference to IC Sales Order as per config in OKB9 based on company code (US99) + cost element (89701100) + business area (9yyy). This caused a conflict while posting IR, system could not determine exact order for posting financial value.
Conflict: Actual Sales Order 34789343 is linked to PO via account assignment category & IC dummy sales order (8014331) is determine via config setting. Two cost objects cannot be linked to one IR G/L account booking.

Script for making an object the artboard size.

I am looking for some help on trying to make an object the exact size of the artboard. This is something I do on a daily basis for several different reasons and it would be very helpful if this can happen automatically for whatever size the artboard may be. As I understand it the only way is with a script but I have no experience with making illustrator scripts, im definately no programmer. I have set up quickkeys in the past to copy from the artboard inputs when you are on the artboard tool but these round to the nearest .01 and this is not accurate enough for what I am working with. Also if I do this with multiple pages open illustrator is very slow to respond to the artboard tool. If anyone has any idea where to start or has seen other such scripts I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Below is a script that I saw on here that I believe may contain what I need but now knowing programming I have no idea where to start on editing. All I need is the part where an object is placed on the artboard that is the exact same size as the artboard. If anyone can advise on editing I would greatly apprecaite it.

Thanks to CarlosCanto for the original script, it was very a very helpful starting point to optimize one of our workflows. We customized it a bit to maintain the aspect ratio (just takes the greater of the width / height and scales proportionally to the artboard size), and also center up the object in the middle of the artboard once scaling is complete. I hope it is helpful to someone:

// script.description = resizes selected object to fit exactly to Active Artboard Bounds;
// script.required = select ONE object before running; CS4 & CS5 Only.

// script.elegant = false;

        var activeAB = idoc.artboards[idoc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()]; // get active AB
        docLeft = activeAB.artboardRect[0];

Batch load script for Order Management with Oracle R12 EBS

Hello,
I am looking for a way to load a million dummy test records into Order Management. For example, I would like to automate a batch process to generate a million new sales orders for Oracle 12.1.1 EBS on Linux platform. If anyone has an idea on how to script this, would appreciate your help.

Two questions:
1. How would I modify the following script to generate a million new orders for OM:
2. How can I register and create a concurrent program with the script?

How to set Dnet assembly object instance

I have an MKS Dnet MFC (P6AO) that I want to connect to. I have been able to connect to other MFCs using my Vi as long as the input assembly instance is set to 14 and the output assembly instance is set to 19. I can explicitly message this MFC. What class, instance and attribute do I use to set this assembly object? What is the data type?
I can communicate with other brands of MFCs as long as the I/O assemblies are set to 14&19. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

The ODVA has a freeware EDS editor that will go a long way toward preventing typos and incorrect settings, and allows you to try "what if" settings as you learn EDS details. The specification for an EDS file is part of the ODVA CIP standard and as far as I know, costs $300, but you will be able to do a lot of simple things just by surfing through example EDS files.
www.odva.org then search for "EZ-EDS". They require a quick email registration first.

Defining the order of objects when using Distribute?

VERSION: Illustrator CC Mac
So, I've always assumed that the order of the layers determined the order and position that shapes are moved in the Distribute function.
I'm having a wierd problem today and the order seems to be defined by something I can't figure out. I'm trying to vertically distribute a set of the same shape and instead of counting the shapes in order from left to right or vise versa the distribute function seems to be randomly picking the order of the shape, not basing it on location or layer order.
Here are a couple of examples:
In both examples I have used a Vertical Distribute Center and both groups of shapes are ordered from left to right in the layers palette with the left most layer being the first layer and the right most shape being the last.
What is causing the shapes to be distributed in this order? How do I specify what the order is if it isn't based on layer or position order?

So, I've always assumed that the order of the layers determined the order and position that shapes are moved....
Wrong assumption. Only true sometimes.
...instead of counting the shapes in order from left to right...
Wrong assumption again.
So first, let's deal with the above assumptions:
When distributing objects, you are not usually talking about stacking order at all. You are talking about modifying initial reading order based on the initial relative X or Y positions.
Although you want stacking order to be a factor in some cases, you wouldn't want it in every case. Nor would you want it to be the default criteria. To understand this, consider the matter of reading order in text objects:
You open a PDF. As is often the case, it has a plethora of individual text objects. Those objects have a particular reading order which is really nothing but a perception of the viewer based on their relative positions. There is no guarantee whatsoever that the object stacking order corresponds to the reading order (creation order). For all the viewer knows, the body text may in fact have been created before the decorative headlines. The subheads, bullets, and callouts may also have been created in any unknown order.
In fact, I have just such a real-world frequently-reccuring situation: DXFs exported from engineering drawings frequently contain columns/rows of text in which the reading order does not correspond to the object stacking order. If the DXF is opened in Illustrator and then those text objects are threaded, or if their text is copied and pasted to concatenate them into a single text object, their reading order becomes scrambled, because threading and concatenating text is indeed dependent upon object stacking order (as are Blends, Mesh patches, and Pattern Brush tiles). By the same token, if those "lines" of text are distributed for uniform spacing and if the result were determined by the object stacking order, the text reading order would be similarly ruined.
So for this and similar situations I wrote a set of Javascripts which I use to rearrnage the stacking order of objects according to their relative positions on the page (i.e.; their reading order) first, before concatenating the text. But you wouldn't want to have to do this in every situation in which you want to distribute every and all kind(s) of objects.
The concept of "reading order" is not limited to text. Consider a fan of playing cards in a poker player's hand. Or chess pieces on a board. Or a row of houses on a map. Fence slats. Deck boards. Bricks or stones. Holiday icons on a calendar grid. You might want to make the XY spacing of such objects uniform, but that doesn't mean you want the stacking order changed, and inversely it doesn't mean you want the XY positions to be determined by stacking order.
So unless and until there is an "Ordered By:" control with which the user specifies "Stacking Order" or "Reading Order" (which there isn't), the feature just uses initial position values (reading order) as the first sorting criteria, and this is the most "normal" behavior.
...drawing a set of overlapping squares in decreasing size order, smallest on top. Drag the top square out of alignment.
I start with a group of shapes, all repeatedly copied from the first one on the far left...Then I move up the last one up...
On the left is before with two circles on top of each other...
In all the above instances, note that the situation starts with multiple objects already aligned in the direction of desired distribution, and moving only one of them before performing the distribution. So think of the math:
You have a set of horizontal position values: [0,0,0,3]. You want to "equally space" those values. How do you do that if, as explained above, stacking order is not a determinant? How do you "order" three zeros based on their numeric values? The instructions are ambiguous. In such situations, you have to use some other secondary criteria, even if it is arbitrary; even if it is random. Example:
Understand, I'm just replying to your initial post here. I'm not saying there is no bug in the Distribute interface. There may be, and if so, the bug(s) may be version-specific. I'm not addressing what Steve is trying to explain in Post 18: But note that when you do what he describes, the Distrubute Spacing value field automatically changes to zero, even if it is initially set to Auto and you are only clicking the Horizontal Distribute Space button. (At least in CS3; I don't have later versions in front of me right now because I'm not in the studio and I don't have CC at all because I'm not going to rent Adobe's software),

Please check the order's object list (inconsistency SOBJ)

Hi Friends;
I am facing a strange issue where I have copied a custom task from SAP standard decision task 00008267 caz I needed to perform some custom requirement on it.
I have done evry thing but then I have observed that Agent assignment is not coming at testing client which is on same server.
I also can not modify any thing at testing client.
So I performed SCC1 from testing client and check but still same issue.
Then I thought of re assigning agent at development client but while making it general task it pop up the message "Please check the order's object list (inconsistency SOBJ)".
And after again performing the SCC1 still the issue exist.
Can any one suggest their inputs where the problem could be and how should I fix it.
Regards
Devraj

Hi Dev,
Can you please share more details? Agent assignment not coming means?
Have you set the task as General in testing client?
Thanks,
Viji.

How do I set up the "Objects and Attachments"

Hi .... I'm new at WorkFlow (and SAP for that matter) and have inherited a WF that is already built. In several of the steps I can see "Objects and Attachments" on the work item screen where a User can click to be directed to a transaction. For example, on one screen the User can click on "Incoming Invoice: 5105601690" to be directed to the Invoice Display Screen that is populated with information for that particular invoice (5105601690).
I am looking at the WF using TCode SWDD and cannot figure our how the original developer set this up. So my question is ..... for a particular WF step, how do you set up the "Objects and Attachments: area so that the User will be directed to a particular transaction when he/she clicks on it.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for such a "juvenile" question.
Dan A

Thanks for your reply Rajkumar,
I am looking at the screen you have directed me to. Business object is BUS2081 (actually it is ZMMWBS2081 which is a customized version BUS2081) Method is "Display" and Attribute is "InvoiceDocNumber". How do I know by looking at this that "Display" means Display Invoice? What if I wanted to display the PO instead?
Thanks for the "spoon feeding".

Ascending Order of Objects at universe Level

Hi Techies.
I am working on BO 3.1 Designer SP5.
I have one Period (Month Year) object at universe level and I have arranged the order of object as Descending by editing the properties of the object.
and when I use this object in the Query Filter section and making it as a Mandatory prompt, the values are loading in a different way rather than descending order.
Please help me on this......
thanks in Advance...

Hi
If you want to sort the LOV’s, use the LOV’s based on custom SQL option.
Please find the below sample code.
Sample Code
SELECT DISTINCT FIELD
FROM
TABLE
ORDER BY 1
And find the below link for more info.

Hi.
In RSA1->Transport connection->ShftCtrl0 check whether you have any transport request connected.
In addition ensure in "objects changebility" that you can change queries.

Purchase Order Text Object missing in Transcation VOTXN

Hi Experts
I want Purchase Order Text Object in Transction VOTXN, for that Referring SAP Note 75144 - EKKO EKPO entries should be in table TFRM, if these two entries are missing, using the solution contained in Note 524453 to generate the missing entries in the table TFRM, run program RV80INCTFRM. I run that program too but still am not able to see purchase order text in Tcode VOTXN.
Please help me on this....

The note Note 524453 - Purchasing text determination is not transported mentions that you need to run program RV80HGEN after RV80INCTFRM. Did you run this program? What is your SAP version? Did you also check other notes provided in 524453?

PM: how to track the operations in prev.maint order against object list

Dear PM Guru's.
i have one issue in my preventive maintenance scenario. i clubed the same type of machines in one maintenance order under object list tab. and i mention the list operations in maintenance order. suppose in one preventive maintenance order 10 operations are maintained and 5objects are mentioned in that order. Now i like to mention all these 10 operations activities against to 5 objects. how i can assign sequentially? i required like 10operations one by one row wise and 5objects side by side column wise. i would like to update the each operation activity against each machine column? how i have to do this one?
Please suggest me and help me.
regards
Jalendhar Merugu

Using Object functionality, we can maintain many equipments in the order.
But the constraint is that one operation can be assigned to only one equipment. In your case, you have 5 objects. If all 10 operations will be performed on 5 objects, then you have to maintain 50 operations & you should assign the objects.
In other words, if one operation will be performed on 5 objects, then you should define that one operation 5 times & you have to assign to technical objects. You can't share one operation to many equipments.

Loading transaction data from flat file to SNP order series objects

Hi,
I am an BW developer and i need to provide data to my SNP team.
Can you please let me know more about <b>loading transaction data (sales order, purchase order, etc.,) from external systems into order based SNP objects/structure</b>. there is a 3rd party tool called webconnect that gets data from external systems and can give data in flat file or in database tables what ever required format we want.
I know we can use BAPI's, but dont know how. can you please send any <b>sample ABAP program code that calls BAPI to read flat file and write to SNP order series objects</b>.
Please let me know ASAP, how to get data from flat file into SNP order based objects, with options and I will be very grateful.
thanks in advance
