What are object oriented methods?

i dont seem to understand the term object oriented methods. i know that it is a technology which encompasses a body of methods,processes, and tools used to construct software systems from obejcts. i know that i provides a unifying paradigm for the three traditional phases of software development: analysis,design and implementation. so how do i get more information on this. i mean this is very limited information i have on my hands. how do i explain in detail about the major features of object oriented methods and their major benefits. is there a place where i can find out about it? please help me out?

Explain an object-oriented method for a conversion between the E/R diagram

Somebody can explain me with an example an object-oriented method for a conversion between the E/R diagram and a relational database schema.
Thanks,

Hello here are some tips regarding how to convert ERD into Relational objects.
(1) One to many relationships:
One to many relationships can be explained by following example.
Take example of department and Employee. One employee can work in one department only but one department can have more then one employees. In one to many relationship Primary key of One side (here department table) goes to Many side as foreign key (here Employee table).
(2) Many to Many relationships:
Many to many relationships can be explained by following example.
One student can take many subjects and one subject can be taken by more then one student.
In this case one new table emerges which includes Primary keys of both the tables and establish composite primary key. e.g. here if PK of student is student_id and Pk of course is course_id then new table will emerge named (say) student_course with composite primary key of student_id and course_id (student_id and course_id are also foreign keys)
(3) One to One:
Example: A person can have only one tax file number and one tax file number can be allocated to only one person. In this case PK of any table can go to another table as foreign key.
(4) Super class-sub class relationship:
Example: person can be a man or woman. Such kinds of relationships are called super class- sub class relationship. There are many ways to convert such relationship into tables
we can make one table for super class (eg Table Person) and we can put PK of super class in subclass as primary key (eg if person_id is pk of table person then it will go in both sub classes (man, woman) as Pk and it will also be foreign key of the super class (person)
Note: This is just a way to solve super class relationships there are many other ways which you can choose.
Thanks

What are the avlble methods to Measure Quality of Customer Service in SAP

Hi
We are in Retail business, and I would like to know what are the available methods to measure the Quality of Customer service in SAP CRM. Help us to get the required information?
Best regards

Venkat,
there are two aspects to this :
1. The overall philosophy ( for want of a better word ) of QOS for any service - there is a lot of thought that has gone into measuring QOS for a service - hence I would say that QOS is more related to the specific service than the entire domain.
2. Measuring the quality of service in terms of what ? - there are a lot of KPIs for the same some of them could be :
Average time taken to service a customer
Does the customer get all that they want in the store or only some of the items ( partial fill)
Are the products neatly arranged and easy to access
average time taken for the customer to get what h/she needs
customer facilities like parking / childern play area etc
Availability of attendants / helpers for the customer
home delivery
credit options... etc etc and the list could go on endlessly ... as you can see it is very specific to the service being provided and accordingly you will get KPIs for the same.
As for measauring the same - there are umpteen ways to do the samedepending on the place it gets recorded - you can have surveys / web surveys / POS details etc etc - what is it that you are looking for specifically ?
Arun
Hope it helps....

HTTP post from ABAP using Object Oriented method

Hi ,
I want to call HTTP from ABAP. I came to know that using classes & objects is the best way to fulfill it.
Interface:
xml_document type ref to cl_xml_document
method post_xml_document.
data: client type ref to if_http_client,
xml_response type ref to cl_xml_document.
data: xml_string type string,
xml_xstring type xstring.
data: zsubrc type sy-subrc.
cl_http_client=>create_by_url( exporting url = 'http://www.example.com/post-url.xml' importing client = client exceptions others = 1 ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = '~request_method' value = 'POST' ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = '~server_protocol' value = 'HTTP/1.1' ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = 'Content-Type' value = 'text/xml' ).
xml_document->render_2_string( exporting pretty_print = 'X' importing stream = xml_string ).
client->request->set_cdata( exporting data = xml_string offset = 0 ).
client->authenticate( exporting proxy_authentication = space username = 'username' password = 'password' ).
client->send( exceptions http_communication_failure = 1 http_invalid_state = 2 ).
client->receive( exceptions http_communication_failure = 1 http_invalid_state = 2 http_processing_failed = 3 ).
xml_xstring = client->response->get_data( ).
zsubrc = xml_response->parse_xstring( stream = xml_xstring ).
endmethod.
Above code can be used to do my work.
Apart from the code in ABAP, what are the configurational setting that we need to do ?
Thanks,
Shivaa..

What are objects in SMARTFORM?

HEllo firends,
I want to know wht are objects in SMARTFORMS. And wht is the role of golobal settings in SMARTFORM?

SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA
Written by : SAP Hints and Tips on Configuration and ABAP/4 Programming
http://sapr3.tripod.com

SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s, while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001. With that sort of time gap, there are bound to be significant differences between the two tools. Client dependence is a fundamental one. Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time, its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively ...
1. script is client dependent one while smartform is client independent.
2. In scripts we have to write print program while in smart forms it is not necessary.
3. In scripts we can print background logo while in smartforms we cant print background logo 4. In scripts we have 99 main windows while in smartforms we have only 1 main window.
5. In scripts we should write paragraph format otherwise we cant execute program while in smartforms no need to create paragraph formats .
6. In scripts we can print the text in only two character formats.
while in smartforms we can do with more.
7. In scripts we dont have line types while in smartforms we have linetypes.

difference between smartforms and scripts
Diff betwen Scripts & smartforms
advantages of smartforms over scripts
the main diffarences between smart form and script form are:
1) smart forms are clinent independent where as scripts are client dependent.
2) smart form require half the time to create and maintain forms compare with script.
3) smart forms provide multiple page formats where as in script not possible
4) smart forms exisist without main window also where as in script not possible.
5) smart form is entairely graphical user interface comapre with script.
6) labeling is not possible in smart form where as it is possible in script.
7) smart form genarate function module whenver it activate where as script doesn't genarate.
8) smart form can easily web publishing using the genarated XML output compare with script.
9) using smart forms we can design web forms but bot possible with script.
10) we can maintain background graphics in smartform wher as in script not possible.
11) in smart form we use transaction codes SMARTFORM for designing FORM and SMARTSTYLES to create differnt styles of text, where as in script we use SE71 for form painter and SE72 for different styles of text and font.
12) we can migrate script to smart form vice-versa is not possible.

What does object oriented mean??

hello,
i am not getting the exact meaning of " Object Oriented " please explain it ......why java is called purely object oriented ?

Whow.
It is very inviting to post something on that topic, but again: There are tutorials about exactly this @ Java.sun.com.
1. Kiss friends, family, spare time etc. goodbye.
2. Go here. ->

What are abstract classes/methods and what are they for?

Hi,
I've just heard about abstract classes and methods and I'm just wondering what exactly they're used for, and why are they there for the Graphics class for example?
Cheers.

Cheers.Hey bro, I'll try to solve your problemYou have to know two important concepts for this part. 1 is Abstract classes and the other is Interface classes. Depends on the nature of the project, you need to set certain level of standards and rules that the other developers must follow. This is where Abstract classes and Interface classes come into picture.
Abstract classes are usually used on small time projects, where it can have code implementation like general classes and also declare Abstract methods (empty methods that require implementation from the sub-classes).Wrong, they are used equally among big and small projects alike.
Here are the rules of an Abstract class and method:
1. Abstract classes cannot be instantiatedRight.
2. Abstract class can extend an abstract class and implement several interface classesRight, but the same is true for non-abstract classes, so nothing special here.
3. Abstract class cannot extend a general class or an interfaceWrong. Abstract classes can extend non-abstract ones. Best example: Object is non-abstract. How would you write an abstract class that doesn't extend Object (directly or indirectly)?
4. If a class contains Abstract method, the class has to be declared Abstract classRight.
5. An Abstract class may or may not contain an Abstract methodRight, and an important point to realize. A class need not have abstract methods to be an abstract class, although usually it will.
6. Abstract method should not have any code implementations, the sub-classes must override it (sub-class must give the code implementations). An abstract method must not have any implementation code code. It's more than a suggestion.
7. If a sub-class of an Abstract class does not override the Abstract methods of its super-class, than the sub-class should be declared Abstract also.This follows from point 4.
9. Abstract classes can only be declared with public and default access modifiers.That's the same for abstract and non-abstract classes.

What are the alternate methods of transferring data between apps built on ios

Hi All,
What could be the alternate methods of transferring data between apps built on ios?
Please comment.
Thanks
Pankaj

I'm not aware of any apps that can open pdfs from iBooks, but I could well be wrong. There are a small number of apps that will open pdfs from emails, you can also open pdfs from some applications ike dropbox which has an iOS app so you can access any document you can open on iOS and sync between devices and computers.
Sorry if this is all a little vague, I'm not exactly sure what it is you are asking

What are the recommended methods to keep CA Certs and CRLs updated in Account Forests for a Cross Forest Enrollment implementation?

Hello,
We have 1 resource Forest and multiple account Forests. We've reviewed the Cross-Forest Cert Enrollment with Windows Server 2008 R2 doc and followed steps 8 and 9 under the 'Deploying AD CS for Cross Forest Cert enrollment' regarding publishing
the root CA Cert and Enterprise CA certs. We run PKISync.psi to copy objects from the resource to the account Forest, and understand Certs and CRLs are not copied from the resource to the account Forests. We are trying to figure out the best way
of keeping the Root and SubCA Certs and CRLs updated in the account Forests.
1. Do folks simply copy the Root and SubCA Certs/CRLs from the resource forest into the account forests when they are renewed and then run the associated -Dspublish commands in the account forest?
2. Any way for a CRL to be checked in the resource forest from a cert on a computer in the account forest?
3. Any other suggestions/references regarding best practices on how to do this?
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

> Do folks simply copy the Root and SubCA Certs/CRLs from the resource forest into the account forests when they are renewed and then run the associated -Dspublish commands in the account forest?
yes. Though, we do not bother with CRL copy as it published to HTTP location only.
> Any way for a CRL to be checked in the resource forest from a cert on a computer in the account forest?
I would suggest to not use LDAP URLs in favor to HTTP.

What are the preferred methods for backing up a cluster node bootdisk?

Hi,
I would like to use flarcreate to backup the bootdisks for each of the nodes in my cluster... but I cannot see this method mentioned in any cluster documentation...
Has anybody used flash backups for cluster nodes before (and more importantly - successfully restored a cluster node from a flash image..?)
Thanks very much,
Trevor

Hi, some backround on this - I need to patch some production cluster nodes, and obviously would like to backup the rootdisk of each node before doing this.
What I really need is some advice about the best method to backup & patch my cluster node (with a recovery method also).
The sun documentation for this says to use ufsdump, which i have used in the past - but will FLAR do the same job? - has anyone had experiance using FLAR to restore a cluster node?
Or if someone has some other solutions for patching the nodes? - maybe offline my root mirror (SVM) - patch root disk - barring any major problems - online the mirror again??
Cheers, Trevor

VMI and reduce Stock in Transit - what are the right methods?

Hi Gurus,
We are using APO system to implement VMI functionality to replenish stock at customer location. We need to build stock in transit at customer location after PGI happens in ECC.
Now, stock in transit is show up in 'Stock in transit' key figure, but the question is how to reduce stock in transit once it is received at customer location.
SAP recommends following four methods to reduce:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/f1/f69a3dcbcfac53e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
1. Goods receipt information is not sent from the customer to the vendor
2. The open purchase order quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
3. A proof of delivery is sent from the customer
4. The stock in transit quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
Out of these 1 and 2 methods are feasible in our scenario.
Please share your experience if you have used any of these methods, I want to hear from someone who implemented any of these methods before deciding on a method.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Niranjan,
I have implemented SCM-APO VMI using Past Releases of SCM (version 4.1) for upto 300 Customer Sites & 500-1000 Products.
In my experience ... this is a Big Custom Development using EDI - IDOCs / ALE wherein you Receive from Customer the Data either as "Open Orders" or "Goods Receipt" of VMI Order at Customer Store or "In-transits" as they view it. There is a Facility to receive them in the PROACT IDOC but you have to write IDOC FUnction Modules to post the Data to the
VMI Planning Area as well as at Product-Location you have to Daily Delete the In-transit Order (Category EI or AH for ASN) and Upload Intransit Quantity directly into Live-Cache as a Order. The Development is also complex as you need to Map the VMI Customer Product to the Vendor/Manufacturer's Product COdes in SCM-APO.
I have experience implementing VMI like this several years ago ... and I am not sure if SAP SCM-APO built anything Standard for the Interface over the years. If you are not sure get a ALE/IDOC & ABAP Consultant or XI Consultant to work with you on the Project.
You can Delete In-transit Quantities by using RLCDEL Transaction for Category EI or AH (if ASNs are used). You need a IDOC/ALE Development to Calculate and Upload In-Transits and Update into the VMI Planning Area as well as Download to a FILE which you can use via another ABAP Development to Upload In-transits at the Product-Location (Customer) in SCM-APO.
Hope this helps.

What are the oriental characters that appear top left on my pc? I

I see oriental characters top left on my pc screen when using firefox. The pc is using windows 7 and macafee firewall and virusscan on a repeating subscription

Probably the problem is caused by mcaffe, try disable it and restart Firefox or '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
