What message type to use for syndicating data back to R3 from XI

What message type to use for syndicating data back to R3 from XI. It gives a Message type IDOC error code 51.

Hi Rehman,
You are getting error 51 which means "Error: Application document not posted".
This might because of two reasons:
1. Your IDoc doesn't contains all the mandatory fields required by the inbound function module to post the IDoc.
2. You have assigned wrong inbound function module to post the IDoc.
Please check these cases.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

What are type defs used for?

I am learning about type defs and wanted to ping the community to get a feel for what expanse of things they are useful for. Any and all comments are welcome.

Don't forget Kudos for Good Answers, and Mark a solution if your problem is solved.

I found this (from LV Help) enlightening as to the differences between typedefs and strict typedefs:
Type Definitions and Strict Type Definitions
Use type definitions and strict type definitions to link all the instances of a custom control or indicator to a saved custom control or indicator file. You can make changes to all instances of the custom control or indicator by editing only the saved custom control or indicator file, which is valuable if you use the same custom control or indicator in several VIs.
Type Definitions
Type definitions identify the correct data type for each instance of a custom control or indicator. When the data type of a type definition changes, all instances of the type definition automatically update. In other words, the data type of the instances of the type definition change in each VI where the type definition is used. However, because type definitions identify only the data type, only the values that are part of the data type update. For example, on numeric controls, the data range is not part of the data type. Therefore, type definitions for numeric controls do not define the data range for the instances of the type definitions. Also, because the item names in ring controls do not define the data type, changes to ring control item names in a type definition do not change the item names in instances of the type definition. However, if you change the item names in the type definition for an enumerated type control, the instances update because the item names are part of the data type. An instance of a type definition can have its own unique label, description, default value, size, color, or style of control or indicator, such as a knob instead of a slide.
If you change the data type in a type definition, LabVIEW converts the old default value in instances of the type definition to the new data type, if possible. LabVIEW cannot preserve the instance default value if the data type changes to an incompatible type, such as replacing a numeric control or indicator with a string control or indicator. When the data type of a type definition changes to a data type incompatible with the previous type definition, LabVIEW sets the default value of instances to the default value for the new data type. For example, if you change a type definition from a numeric to a string type, LabVIEW replaces any default values associated with the old numeric data type with empty strings.
Strict Type Definitions
A strict type definition forces everything about an instance to be identical to the strict type definition, except the label, description, and default value. As with type definitions, the data type of a strict type definition remains the same everywhere you use the strict type definition. Strict type definitions also define other values, such as range checking on numeric controls and the item names in ring controls. The only VI Server properties available for strict type definitions are those that affect the appearance of the control or indicator, such as Visible, Disabled, Key Focus, Blinking, Position, and Bounds.
You cannot prevent an instance of a strict type definition from automatically updating unless you remove the link between the instance and the strict type definition.

where YYYY is the Fiscal year and PP is the Period.
Is there a data type ( element / domain ) for such a field ?

date element you can use SPMON
or

What MIME type to use for DNG?

Is there an 'official' MIME type to use for DNG? I've seen image/x-adobe-dng used, also image/tiff, and sometimes image/x-dcraw. I'd like to know so that I can characterize DNGs correctly for format identification software we are writing. I don't believe the MIME type is specified in the DNG spec. Thanks.

I think this is clear
image/x-adobe-dng = DNG
image/tiff = for tiff images. I know that Phase One gives there RAW images .tif at the end but tiff sould be a real image.
image/x-dcraw = for other camera raw files like CRW/CR2 of Canon, NEF of Nikon....
I would suggest to use the "image/x-adobe-dng" for DNG files.

What cast type are used for?

In the example attached to this question is a simple VI application that cast, using type cast of LabVIEW, one value to different other type. My understanding of type cast, in C, C++ and to my best knowledge, was an implicit adaptation of a numerical value in a specific format to an other format. The value should remain the same. Unless the type in which the value is assigned is not enough large or adapted to contain such a number ex:
I8 = 500;
U32 = -1;
But in my example all the assigned indicator are large enough.
I have the same problem in LabVIEW 5.1.1 and 6.1
If someone could only tell me what it is used for?
Best regards,
Nitrof

Type_cast.vi ‏26 KB

The type cast function is really helpful for typecasting "unusual" data to a more convienient data format. It can also be used to coerce data, like in your example, but coercion is usually not always a good thing because it can cause bad values.
There are lots of good examples of typecasting.
For example, I use the typecast function to change refnums to unsigned 32 integers (U32), just so I can pass the refnums between VI's easier.
Another VERY common typecast is if you want to display the ASCII value of a character. Run the string character "A" into a typecast, and set the output type as a Unsigned 8 bit number (U8), and you will see 0x41. Take a look at my example VI's to see what I mean.

What is the Best approch for storing passwords in database

Hello developers
I have two question
1.What is the best way to store passwords in databse table.i want to use something like des3 or other strong one,I need a refernce implemetation.if some one know some good web example/tutorial -also in sun site-i didnt found something like that but i may looked the wrong places.
2.I am Devloping a J2ee application.So if i am going to use des3 where should i put the key .i dont want that the key will be available to evry one ,so where should i put it.
Yoav

What you need to understand is the difference between a hash and a block cipher like DES (and more than likely I'm not the best one to do it but here it goes):
First of all, you are using a monoalphabetic cipher in your current implementation. You're right, it's very weak and people have been breaking them on pen and paper since aroun 1200 A.D.
DES is like the monoalphabetic cipher in one important respect: Anything you use the cipher on, for example the String "hello" you can then reverse and return to the original value "hello." That is generally not the way passwords are stored, they usually use a hash (as the previous poster stated) like MD5.
If I hash the String value "hello", I will not be able to reverse it. However, the trick is that if I hash the same String value again I will get the same hash value. This is important. So use this algorithm (that the previous poster also mentioned):
Store Password Hash
1) Get user input password
2) Use MD5 (or SHA1) to on password to get a hash value of the password
3) Store the hash value of the password in your database
Authenticate a User (i.e. let them login)
1) Get user input password
2) Use MD5 (or SHA1) to on password to get a hash value of the password
3) Retrieve original password hash value from the database
4) Compare the two hash values, if they match authenticate, else error

What compression type to use for disk image files

Hello all
I was wondering if a more experienced user than me could give a recommendation as to which compression format I should use to compress an image I made of my / partition. I used dd to make the image file.
For me, (de)compression time is more important than compression ratio (size), but I'm of course looking for a good blend of both
Thanks for any advice

If you have a multicore processor, use pigz instead of gzip etc. Start with this app and only after you're not happy with it, look for one that's faster / compresses better.
BTW, do you have a lot of incompressible data in there? Movies, pics, music and already compressed files won't compress any more.

What data type to use?

I need to compute the percentage of each INTEGER, say, 4,5,6,3,2. So this is what I did:
percent_value[] = (value[] / total) * 100;
both percent_value and value[] are int arrays.
I know there's something wrong, I don't know what... please help :)

If total is an int, then you will always get 0 (or 100) the way you calculate it, since dividing two ints will produce an int, not a float. So you should multiply with 100 before you divide with total.
You need a for-loop to work with your arrays:
for (int x = 0; x < value.length; x++) {
percent_value[x] = value[x]*100/total;
}I assume that was what you were trying.

What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

Keychain is nice, but I prefer to use 1Password. It's got a nice user interface, and does what I need. It stores passwords, notes, identitiy info, credit card info, application registration numbers, saves hardware information such as your router settings, and more. It also has a secure password generator. There's an extension that keeps a button in the browser toolbar for Safari, etc., so you can submit your info (password, credit card) with the click of a button, and without having to type the information in through the website you are visiting. It also pays attention when you are signing in to a website, and asks you if you want to save the login to 1Password. Once you get them all entered, it's a big timesaver.

What data type I can use if the text is more then 4000 varchar?

Dear all,
What data type I can use if the text is more then 4000 varchar?
Please advice,
Amy

You didn't specify if you are referring to tables or code.
In tables the limit is varchar2(4000) so anything bigger will need to be stored in a CLOB (as already mentioned).
In PL/SQL code you can defined varchar2 up to 32K so varchar2(32767).

What is the method used for upload of data

Hi All,
What is the method used for upload of Data from excel spread sheets to SAP HR.
it is Bulk Data from many countries.LSMW or BDC Session Method?
what are country specific infotypes used for PA and OM.
can u plz give the list of country specific infotypes used for PA n OM Module.
Thanks
Archana

Hi Archana,
To Upload bulk data I think BDC is the best and effecient way.
Regarding Infotypes we dont have any country specific Infotypes in OM & PA. In Payroll we do have according to country wise.
I hope you had understood the point

How to use same Data Type and Length for two fields

How to use same data type and length for two fields when using 'FOR ALL ENTRIES IN' in a select statement? For instance the select queries are :
SELECT bukrs gjahr belnr lifnr budat bldat zlspr dmbtr waers shkzg
FROM bsik
INTO TABLE it_bsik
WHERE bukrs = p_bukrs
AND lifnr IN s_lifnr.
IF it_bsik IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr awkey awtyp
FROM bkpf
INTO TABLE it_bkpf
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bsik
WHERE belnr = it_bsik-belnr
AND gjahr = it_bsik-gjahr.
IF it_bkpf IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr lifnr xblnr
FROM rbkp
INTO TABLE it_rbkp
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bkpf
WHERE belnr = it_bkpf-awkey+0(10)
AND gjahr = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Here it gives an error in the 3rd select query that 'When you use the addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab", the fields "GJAHR" and "IT_BKPF2-AWKEY+10(4)" must have the same type and the same length.'
Kindly clarify.

Hi Saurabh,
Please see the example code that I have developed for you. It will help you solve the problem.

loop at it_bkpf.
it_bkpf1-belnr = it_bkpf-belnr.
it_bkpf1-awkey = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).           "Here only append the required length.
it_bkpf1-awtyp = it_bkpf-awtyp.
it_bkpf1-gjahr = it_bkpf-gjahr.
append it_bkpf1.
clear it_bkpf1.
endloop.
select belnr
        gjahr
        lifnr
        xblnr

        into table it_rbkp

This is just an example. Change the fields according to your requirement.

Hi,
You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
- the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
- the value set values and description
Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...
