Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer

Restful Webservice and German Umlaut

Hello,
i'm trying to setup a restful webservice using Apex 4.2 and Apex Listener 2, but i have problems regarding german unlaute in the json response.
To see if its a configuration error on my side, i did setup an exmaple on apex.oracle.com and there i get the same results.
I added a now row to the table emp, with just the ename as 'öäü'.
Please see the example at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/dwtest/getEmp/
The result looks like this:
{"next":{"$ref":"http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/dwtest/getEmp/?page=1"},"items":[{"ename":"Ã¶Ã¤Ã¼"}]}It should look like this:
{"next":{"$ref":"http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/dwtest/getEmp/?page=1"},"items":[{"ename":"öäü"}]}The interesting fact is that i sometimes get the desired output, but its net reproducible to me. As browser i tested Firefox, Chrome, IE9 and Opera.
I wonder if i configured something wrong in my browsers or in apex.
If you would like to take a look at the webservide use these credentials:
Workspace: dwtest

Thanks for help in advance.

Migration of SAPscripts to smartforms and its advantages

Hi Folks,
Can we convert a SAPscript into PDF and send it in mail as an attachment like what we do using smartform. Folks could you please provide me some knowledge which will help me preparing a document for the client to convience them how using smartforms is always better than using a sapscript and they should migrate all the SAPscript to the smartform.
Thanks & reagrds,

Advantages of smartforms,
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

REST Webservice invocation from Java

Hi Guys,
I am developing an application that needs to invoke a REST webservice and submit XML data to it. The server will then process the request XML data, and return a result, etc.
I have never worked with REST and have spent hours researching it on the NET. I have done SOAP calls in the past, but this seems to be eluding me some what.
Does anyone know of any useful links that explains REST implementation, frameworks / jars needed, or possibly even an example or two that shows me how to submit data via REST to a URL (would be first prize :) ).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Mark

Consume a restful webservice using plsql

Hi
We need to consume a restful webservice and this needs to be implemented using plsql.
I know that we can use utl_dbws or utl_http to consume SOAP based web services but
there is not much information on how to consume restful web services.
kindly let me know if you have information.
Cheers

Im looking for the opposite scenario where i need to access a restful web service from plsql.Why would a RESTful call be any different from a normal URL call? HTTP is the transport mechanism - and UTL_HTTP is used in PL/SQL as the client side of a HTTP conversation.
I posted sample code of a how to use PL/SQL as a brower client in {message:id=1925297} - using a pipeline table to demonstrate the contents returned by the web server in response using plain SQL.
Depending on what the contents is, you can write it into a BLOB (dealing with binary data returned), a CLOB (for XML data for example), or using varchar2 you can for example parse a text/csv response (no need for a pipeline in such a case).
The only real issue I can see with a RESTful service is URL construction - as the URL becomes "parameterised" and not just the query string itself, or the data contents (name values) in the POST structure.

What is the table and purpose?

let me know what is the table and its contents and purpose....i wil be thanks to you if i get answers

Table is a data repository in which all the master data and transactional data gets stored. All components/ data of SAP stored in Tables.
SAP Table Types
I. Transparent tables (BKPF, VBAK, VBAP, KNA1, COEP)
Allows secondary indexes (SE11->Display Table->Indexes)
Can be buffered (SE11->Display Table->technical settings) Heavily updated tables should not be buffered.
II. Pool Tables (match codes, look up tables)
Should be accessed via primary key or
Should be buffered (SE11->Display Table->technical settings)
No secondary indexes
Select * is Ok because all columns retrieved anyway
III. Cluster Tables (BSEG,BSEC)
Should be accessed via primary key - very fast retrieval otherwise very slow
No secondary indexes
Select * is Ok because all columns retrieved anyway. Performing an operation on multiple rows is more efficient than single row operations. Therefore you still want to select into an internal table. If many rows are being selected into the internal table, you might still like to retrieve specific columns to cut down on the memory required.
Statistical SQL functions (SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, etc) not supported
Can not be buffered
IV. Buffered Tables (includes both Transparent & Pool Tables)
While buffering database tables in program memory (SELECT into internal table) is generally a good idea for performance, it is not always necessary. Some tables are already buffered in memory. These are mostly configuration tables. If a table is already buffered, then a select statement against it is very fast. To determine if a table is buffered, choose the 'technical settings' soft button from the data dictionary display of a table (SE12). Pool tables should all be buffered.

How to set username and password before redirecting to a RESTful webservice

I am a .Net developer who has developed a webservice used by my ColdFusion colleagues. They are using ColdFusion 9 but I'm not sure if they have incorporated any of the newer features of ColdFusion in their apps. Here is a snippet of how they have been invoking the webmethods:
<cfscript>
 ws = CreateObject("webservice", "#qTrim.webServiceName#");
 ws.setUsername("#qTrim.trimAcct#");
 ws.setPassword("#qTrim.trimpwd#");
 wsString=ws.UploadFileCF("#qTrim.webserviceurl#","#objBinaryData#", "#qFiles.Filename#", "Document", "#MetaData#");
 </cfscript>
As I understand things, the .setUsername and .setPassword correspond to the Windows credentials the CF Admin set when the URL of the .Net webservice was "registered" and given its "name" (for the CreateObject statement above). I have 4 webmethods that are all invoked in this manner and this SOAP protocol works adequately for us. Please note that this ColdFusion web app authenticates anonymous remote internet users by prompting for a username and password and compares them to an application database (i.e. Microsoft calls this "forms authentication"). Because only a few Windows domain accounts are authorized to call this .Net webservice, the above code always uses the same username/password constants and it all works.
My question involves the newest webmethod added to the .Net webservice. It requires that callers must invoke it as a RESTful service which means it must be invoked by its URL. Here is a snippet of C# code that invokes it from an ASP.NET webclient:
 string r = txtRecordNumber.Text;
 string baseurl = "http://localhost/sdkTrimFileServiceASMX/FileService.asmx/DownloadFileCF?";
 StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(baseurl);
 url.Append("trimURL="); url.Append(txtFakeURLParm.Text);
 url.Append("&");
 url.Append("TrimRecordNumber="); url.Append(txtRecordNumber.Text);
 Response.Redirect(url.ToString());
I assume a ColdFusion script could easily build a full URL as above with appended querystring parameters and redirect. Is there some way for the CF code redirecting to a RESTful webservice (by way of its URL) to set the Username and Password to this Windows account mentioned above? When the DownloadFileCF webmethod is hit it must be with the credentials of this special Windows domain account. Can that be set by ColdFusion someway to mimic the result of the SOAP technique (the first snippet above).
I hope my question is clear and someone can help me make suggestions to my ColdFusion colleagues. Thanks.

Can you clarify what you mean by "establish a different Windows identity"? Usually passing identity to a web site or service means adding something to the request's HTTP headers. This could be a cookie in the case of .NET forms authentication or the "Authorization" header in the case of basic authentication.
The SOAP web service invocation code you posted does use basic authentication, according to the CF docs "ColdFusion inserts the user name/password string in the authorization request header as a base64 binary encoded string, with a colon separating the user name and password. This method of passing the user name/password is compatible with the HTTP basic authentication mechanism used by web servers."

If you need to mimic the SOAP techinque you should have basic authentication enabled for your REST service endpoints.
If your authentication method is different then CF developers will need to add the appropriate HTTP headers to their service calls. Note that calling a REST service from CF would probably be accomplished using the CFHTTP tag if the service is designed to be consumed by the CF server.

brief explaination of REST,Webservices,CSON and JSON

http://www.simplecodestuffs.com/what-is-the-difference-between-http-and-rest-and-soap-in-web-services/
SOAP uses WSDL for communication between consumer and provider, whereas REST just uses XML or JSON to send and receive data
WSDL Defines contract between client and service and is static by its nature. In case of REST contract is somewhat complicated and is defined by HTTP, URI, Media Formats and Application Specific Coordination
Protocol. It’s highly dynamic unlike WSDL.
SOAP doesn’t return human readable result, while REST result is readable with is just plain XML or JSON
This is not true. Plain XML or JSON are not RESTful at all. None of them define any controls(i.e. links and link relations, method information, encoding information etc…) which is against REST as far as messages must be self contained and coordinate interaction
between agent/client and service.
With links + semantic link relations clients should be able to determine what is next interaction step and follow these links and continue communication with service.
It is not necessary that messages be human readable, it’s possible to use cryptic format and build perfectly valid REST applications. It doesn’t matter whether message is human readable or not.
Thus, plain XML(application/xml) or JSON(application/json) are not sufficient formats for building REST applications. It’s always reasonable to use subset of these generic media types which have strong semantic meaning and offer enough control information(links
etc…) to coordinate interactions between client and server.
REST is over only HTTP. HTTP is most widely used and when we talk about REST web services we just assume HTTP. HTTP defines interface with it’s methods(GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH etc) and various headers
which can be used uniformly for interacting with resources. This uniformity can be achieved with other protocols as well.
REST permits many different data formats where as SOAP only permits XML.
While this may seem like it adds complexity to REST because you need to handle multiple formats, in my experience it has actually been quite beneficial. JSON usually is a better fit for data and parses much faster. REST allows better support for browser clients
due to it’€™s support for JSON.

My iPod touch 5th generation had white screened an it won't let me rest it by holding down the home button an the power button for ten seconds I've pulled it in to iTunes an its not being detected what can i do as its starting to over heat?

If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.
