Get Your Idea Approved - HBR

2010-11-26T07:16:00.000-08:00

Every person on this earth has some idea. Employees, Managers, Students, Professors, businessmen, etc have many great ideas. But only few people have guts to get their ideas approved.Why so? Why others ideas are neglected or rejected although there ideas are great and impressive?

While exploring HBR site, I found an interesting article “How to get your idea approved”. This article articulately explains how people reject and kill our ideas. I personally and professionally observed similar situation. Many times mine ideas were rejected or neglected not because they were not good rather they were rejected because of weak presentation. But to what extent you can prepare in advance? What if people deliberately oppose your ideas? What if they don’t want them?

To get the answers of all the asked questions and learn the best practices of presenting your ideas, you should read this article.

5 ways to improve you communication skills.

2010-09-26T09:07:00.001-07:00

Communication skills are part of our life. No matter where ever we are living, communication skills are always require and needed to express our thoughts and ideas more clearly. While exploring new methods of best communication I found a very informative article which was published by Harvard Business School profession.

There are many ways of improving your communication skill but in this blog I am describing few which covers almost all require skills. The following five skills can be useful if you want to sharpen you communication.

1. Fundamentals : No matter what ever language you speak, fundamentals of very important. You should know the basics of your language.
2. Clearness : Speak or write clearly.
3. Preparation in advance: If you are attending any meeting then prepare yourself in advance. This will boost your confidence and make you more agile during the discussion.
4. Engage in discussion: Do not make statement and sit ideal. Ask questions and listen attentively. Gather more thoughts, ideas, and points. This well help you to ask questions rather then make statement.
5. Listen: This is most important. If you are not good listener then you are not good communicator. No one like person who only speak or make statement. Hence listen others attentively. If you are not clear what he/she is saying then ask instantly.

SOA Delivery lifecycle

2010-08-29T00:28:00.000-07:00

In SOA we analyse business requirements and capture the functionality of that in a form of service. A service that we called enterprise service is a plugin that can be re-used in other business process also. Following are the basic phases of the SOA delivery life cycle.

1. Analyse
2. Design
3. Develop.
4. Testing
5. Deployment.
6. Administration

First two phases are the key factor in SOA for defining a service as an enterprise service.

The 5 Steps To Become Passionate About Your Dream.

2009-11-24T08:27:00.001-08:00

There are 5 steps that will cause you to become very passionate about your dream. These 5 things have to be done over and over again. Remember, repetition is the mother of all learning.

The first one of these is visualization. You continually have to visualize where you want to be, how you want to live, where you want to live, and what you want for you and your family. You have to learn how to use your imagination to your benefit. Visualize yourself fulfilling your dream.

If it’s a new car, imagine yourself driving it. It it’s a new home, imagine yourself living in it. If you want to pay off your mortgage, imagine yourself earning the total sum of that mortgage within 2 years so you can pay off your house. Want to pay off all of your credit card debt? Imagine yourself already making the amount of money that you need to pay off that debt.

The second step that you will need to take is affirmation. To affirm is to make something real and you do this through repetition. Say to yourself things like “I am living in my new 8,000 square foot home”, “I am right now making $150,000 a year”, and “I am going to bring in 20 people into my network marketing business this week”.

If you need to write these things down and put them where you can see them everyday then do it. Then say these things to yourself 50 to 60 times a day everyday. You want to embed your affirmations deep into your subconscious mind.

The third step is to have a place where you can go to practice your success. It could be a certain room of the house where you can be all alone to meditate, dream, and visualize your success. It could be as simple as getting on your treadmill or going out on a walk all by yourself. Go someplace where you can practice your success. This is probably the most important of all of the five steps.

The fourth step is to find a hero or role model. Your hero may be somebody who died a long time ago or it could be someone who is living today. Find someone who you would like to emulate as a person. Find someone who you are proud of and who you look up to. It could be a family member, a sports figure, or someone in the network marketing industry.

The fifth and final step is you have to understand the difference between positive focusing and positive thinking. Both are very important. There is a myth that says that you have to constantly think positive all of the time in order to reach your goal. This is very hard to do.

You do not have to think positively all of the time to reach your goal. To fulfill your dream and succeed all you have to do is to keep yourself positively focused on that dream and continue moving forward towards reaching it. Take positive steps towards reaching that goal of yours. Don’t let anything stop you or get in your way.

Now, there are things that are going to come your way which are going to cause you to slow down from time to time. These distractions that come up in your everyday life are ok just as long as you do not let them stop you from reaching your goal.

Stay motivated and always work towards reaching that big goal of yours.

Before writing your MBA application.

2009-11-02T21:14:00.000-08:00

If you are planning for an MBA program from top US or UK business school, you have to prepare your application profile religiously and passionately. I have seen many friends who passionately prepared for GMAT and cracked it with high percentile. But at the time of writing application, my friends spent ample time in identifying about their past achievements, strengths, leadership roles, weakness just to name a few. Result, admission deadline comes too closer and it makes them anxious.

However, although you scored 700+ in GMAT, you have to focus on your application parts. Every school has its own admission criteria. But there are a few common factors in each school that has to be followed by every candidate. Most important factors that are relevant to every business school and applicant.

Short and long-term goal: Essay required brief description of your short and long term goals. Based on your goals you have to write your complete application. For example if your immediate goal is to become a management consultant then you have to support your application by demonstrating consulting skills.

Leadership roles: Every business school demands you to write about your leadership roles. The best way is to identify all events, activities, and projects where you enjoyed leadership roles. It may be from your current job, companies' events, college program, and social events.

Strengths: Identify all your strengths and weaknesses. See your past achievements. Discuss with your mentors, friends or spouse. Knowing your strengths are very important. Once you identify your strengths, you to support it. Teamwork, for example, is someone's key strength. In order to show that you have good teamwork skill, you have to give at least one supportive example that can convince admission committee.

Weakness: Just as identifying your strengths are critical so as your weaknesses. You have to identify your weakness that can be converted into your strength after doing MBA program. For instance, analytical decision-making might be a weakness of someone.

Recommendation Letter: The most important part of your application. The position of the person who is writing recommendation letter doesn't matter to large extent.

Professional and Personal achievements: It is that you should know your professional and personal achievements. Once you have a list of your social, professional, and educational achievements, you can easily describe them in application.

SAP PI 7.0 or PI 7.1 Training

2009-10-30T02:49:00.000-07:00

Introduction

Days are gone when we have to cover miles of distance to learn new things or to attend education classes. The revolution of internet and technologies makes our life so easier and comfortable. We are getting learning opportunities in our cities. From last few years last years, I have been meeting with many IT and non-IT professionals who are more interested in learning and adapting world leading technologies provided by SAP (Systems and Application in Product database). No matter either you are a SAP technical consultant or you are a SAP Functional consultant, you will get immense lucrative job opportunities in every prestigious company.

SAP Process Integration

First, SAP is NOT a name of any technology instead it is a that provides business solutions and services to their clients. There are many ways to enter in SAP world where you can contribute and earn millions. By opening your own SAP Education Center and SAP consultant firm you not only boost your profile but also assist others to get in this profession.

However, if you have passion and interest to learn SAP solutions or technologies that leverage your career, then you are reading the right website or information. I too started by career by learning SAP Exchange Infrastructure, a product that SAP released in 2005. Within past four years, I enjoyed many opportunities from leaning to implementing SAP technologies

Initially SAP XI/PI was not so robust and famous, but gradually it becomes more competitive and lucrative. Today every company that implemented SAP for its business is also implementing SAP XI/PI . The product becomes very cost saving for each customer an due to this reason SAP PI creates jobs for numerous professionals in every SAP service provider companies like Accenture, IBM, Capgemini, HP, EDS, P&G just name a few.

Learning Path in ITLC

So far, I met with many of my friends and colleagues who showed great interest in SAP leaning. No matter whatever the education or experience they posses, they wish to enter in SAP world. After listening to their interests and analyzing future market’ requirements, I decided to open SAP XI/PI training leaning center ITLC – Information and Technologies Learning Center. In our center, aspiration people not only learn the aspects of SAP PI but also experience its implementation methods and best practices. Moreover they also get an opportunity to implement end to end dummy project with proper mentoring by proficient consultants.

Learning SAP PI is not as much as difficult as people think. The most important reason is that SAP PI is a tool instead of a programming language. Once you have a good understanding of its architecture and flow of messages, developing or implementing solutions or interfaces in SAP PI becomes more interesting. Key thing is to understand its architecture and message flow. In ITLC we understand the importance of your time, money and career aspirations. By considering the aspects of best leaning , we rigorously designed the training material and course contents. Furthermore, we keenly follow, focus and assist every learner in developing his or her technical skills and implementation skills.

SAP XI/PI Course Contents

In ITLC we thoroughly covers every basic and advance concept of SAP PI.

Variable Substituation in SAP PI

2009-08-09T09:45:00.001-07:00

1. Variable Substitution-VS, is used to dynamically generate file and/or directory name in the receiver File Adapter only.
2. VS in only used in Receiver File adapter.
3. VS can only refer a payload that file receiver adapter receives.
4. VS can also refer a header of the message.
5. Name of the "variable" in VS is always in small/lower case. Example (var1, filename).
6. Invalid variable names - Var1, fileName or any word that contains upper or capital letter in it.
7. In VS, value of a variable can be fetched by using %variablename%.
8. If any error occurs in communication channel that says "DynamicConfiguration error in variable substitution" means there is an error with your variable substitution logic.

Flash Cards For SC.

V: SC: Comparison

Identify comparison words and phrases

Comparing things should be comparable and parallel.

Singular noun need to be compare with singular noun.

Plural noun need to be compare with plural noun.

Wrong: Comparing singular noun with plural noun.

V: SC: Comparison

Comparison Signals:

like, as

more than, greater than, less than, shorter than, different from, unlike, likening.

as many as, as much as

as short as, as few as

as little as, as highs as

V: SC: Comparison

Like is used to compare two nouns.

As is used to compare two clauses.

Incorrect: Rajesh and Ramesh, as their father Ram, are extremely handsome.

Correct: Rajesh and Ramesh, like their father Ram, are extremely handsome.

Incorrect: Just like swimming is good exercise, skiing is a great way to burn calories.

V: SC: Comparison

Comparison must be logically and structurally parallel.

Incorrect: Frank’s body, like his brother, is extremely broad and muscular.

Correct: Frank’s body, like that of his brother, is extremely broad and muscular.

Incorrect: I enjoy flying by plane than I like to drive in a car.

Correct: I enjoy flying by plane than driving by car.

V: SC: Comparison

For comparing two things, use comparative form.

For comparing more then two things, use superlative form.

better/best, worse/worst, more/most.

little-less-lesser/ least.

further-further/farthest.

She is shorter than her sister.

She is shortest of her five siblings.

You are the most intelligent person here.

V: SC: Comparison

“than” is a clue for comparison.

“to that” is use to compare singular things.

“to those” is use to compare plural thing.

V: SC: Modifiers

Modifiers are usually set off from the rest of the sentence by commas.

After finding modifying phrase, find the noun that is being modified.

V:SC: Modifiers

Dangling modifier: No noun for the modifying phrase.

Ex: Using latest technology, the mechanical problem was identified quickly.

V: SC: Modifiers

Misplace modifiers:

Upon leaving the register, the cashier handed the customer a receipt.

Correct: upon leaving the register, the customer received a receipt from the cashier

V: SC: Modifiers

A modifying phrase should not be separated from the noun that it modifies.

V: SC: Pronouns

Every pronoun must refer to only one antecedent.

Pronoun must agree with antecedents in number.

Singular antecedent takes singular pronoun.

Plural antecedent takes plural pronoun.

V: SC: Pronouns

Possessive pronoun can refer back to possessive noun.

“People” is plural.

It’s = It is.

Its = possessive of “it”

They = plural.

Their = possessive of “they”.

V: SC: Pronouns

Subject Object Possessive
I Me My, mine
You You Your, yours
He Him His
She Her Her, hers
It It Its

V: SC: Subject-Verb Agreement

Every sentence has a subject and a verb which must agree in number.

Eliminate Middleman – Inserted phrases between Subject and Verb.

Ex : The houses of that rich man contain very expensive furniture

V: SC: Subject-Verb Agreement

- Eliminate the “of” construction in order to find true subject.

V: SC: Subject-Verb Agreement

If the word and unite two or more singular subjects, the subject becomes Plural.

Ex: Jon and Tom are….

Ex: History, Chemistry, and Sc are….

V: SC: Subject-Verb Agreement

Additive phrases. They do not make compound subject.

Always Singular

• along with

• in addition to

• as well as

• accompanies by

• together with

• including

Ex: Joe, along with his friends, is going to the beach.

V: SC: Subject-Verb Agreement

Only the word AND can change a singular subject into plural.

Singular subjects followed by “additive phrases” remain singular.

Neither...nor, Either…or

Find the subject that is NEAREST the verb and use verb agreement

accordingly.

Ex: Neither Joe nor his friends ARE going to beach

Ex: Neither his friends nor Joe IS going to beach.

V: SC: Subject-Verb Agreement

Either/Neither (without or/nor) always takes Singular subject.

-one, -body or –thing always takes Singular Verb.

Some, Any, None, All, Most (SANAM) pronouns can be singular or plural depending on the context of the sentence.

Ex: Some of the money is.....

Ex: Some of the documents are…

Each or Every

When Each or Every is subject of a sentence, it requires Singular Verb.

Same is true for any subject preceded by the word each or every.

“the number of” is Singular. (when it is a part of subject)

“a number of” is Plural.

“Numbers of is INCORRECT”

Majority, Minority, Plurality- Can be Singular or Plural.

Ex: The majority of the students in this company ARE.

Ex: The student majority IS opposed to the death penalty.

If the subject of a sentence is an entire phrase or clause, then it takes Singular Verb form

Ex: Having good friends IS a wonderful thing.

Ex: Whatever they want to do IS fine with me.

Notice the use of infinitives in the beginning of the sentence.

Rather than Vs Instead of

Rather than - shows preference

Instead of - suggests that one person, thing or action replaces another

instead of + noun phrase

rather than + verb (or) rather than + noun

Worry - takes about with it.

Believe – takes that with it.

SAP XI/PI Encode Outgoing Payload using Adapter Module

2008-12-21T09:46:00.000-08:00

In my previous blog : Decode Base64 Incoming Encoded information in SAP XI/PI using Java Mapping I depicts how we can decode the incoming Encoded information by Java Mapping. We can achieve it by using Adapter Module[:)]

In this blog I will try to demonstrate how we can encode the payload in receiver Adapter before sending it to the destination.

SAP XI/PI has to pick a file from the input directory of the FTP server, once file picked by sender file adapter than it comes to IE for further processing (like transformation, routing etc). From the IE it goes to receiver adapter, the assigned custom module will be called, encode the data and send it to the destination.

Write the appropriate Java Code - At last of this Blog you can see the whole java code.

Deploy the developed Adapter Module in the SAP J2EE engine using SDM, Visual Admin or by your favorite Java Editor SAP NWDS ;)

Once you successfully deployed the module in Engine, use it in the Module Tab of your SAP J2EE Sender/Receiver adapters.

I used JNDI name = EncodePayload so I have to use it in the Module tab also.

After successfully executing the interface, the encoded information will be sent to the receiver/destination.

Note: We can also use Encode/Decode classes from com.sap.aii.utilxi.base64.api.*;

Java Code

public ModuleData process( ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputModuleData) throws ModuleException {

try {

//Get the Principal data...

Message message = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();

//Creation of Audit key for maintaing logs in Communication channels...

AuditMessageKey amk = new AuditMessageKey(message.getMessageId(),AuditDirection.INBOUND); Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,"Module Name: EncodePayload, Type : Local Enterprise Bean is Called");

//Instantiate Encoder class...we also use other Encoding classes..

BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();

//Get the Payload...

XMLPayload attachment = message.getDocument();

//Get the Inputstream in order to read the contents...

InputStream inputStream = attachment.getInputStream();

BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream); DataInputStream dataInputStream = new DataInputStream(bufferedInputStream);

//Defined a variabl to hold read information.....

String arg = "";

while(dataInputStream.available() != 0)

{ String temp = ""; temp = dataInputStream.readLine(); arg = arg + temp; }

//call the method of Encode class...

arg = encoder.encode(arg.getBytes());

//set back the new contents in the payload...

attachment.setContent(arg.getBytes());

//Set the principal data...

inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(message);
} catch (Exception e) {

//Can write a code that to we need to display in Audit logs when Error/Exception occurs... }
return inputModuleData;}

Decode Base64 Incoming Encoded information in SAP XI/PI using Java Mapping

2008-12-21T09:42:00.000-08:00

Many times we have requirements to decode the “base64 encoded message” in XI/PI so it can be used in IE for message processing. In this blog I tried to demostrate about the steps that will help us to decode the data using Java Mapping

Actual source XML

After Base64 Encoding: (incoming message to XI/PI)

Help: For prototype purpose use the URL http://ostermiller.org/calc/encode.html to encode your actual payload.

There are two ways to handle such scenarios

Developing an Adapter Module: Module that will get the encoded data, decode it and forwarded it to the IE for further processing. But developing and deployemnt of an Adapter module is very much time consuming (interms of Authorization and Dependencies on Basis folks) also it not possible to test the designed AM independently.
Java Mapping : Easy to design, develop and able to test using Java IDE externally. Also possible to test it in Interface Mapping without executing/testing the whole interface.

So each of the above has there own advantages and disadvantages. Here with the help of Java mapping we will look how it is possible to implement such scenario. In the next blog I will demostrate the same using Custom Adapter Module.

Step 1: Convert the input.txt information into and XML format (XML template) using File Content Conversion in the Sender File Adapter. <Details> node contains the actual encoded Information/XML payload.

Step 2: Java code for Base64 decoding, this is simply lines of Java language just to demostrate about Base64 decoding in XI. You can uses other API's in order to achieve Base64 decoding/Encoding.

package domDemo;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformation;

public class JMDecodeDetails implements StreamTransformation {
private Map param=null;
public void setParameter(Map param){
  this.param=param;
}
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out){
  try{

   DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
   DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
   Document docOld = builder.parse(in);
   //Get the node name Details that contains the Based64 Encoded information..
   NodeList details = docOld.getElementsByTagName("Details");
   //Get the Text of Node.
   String data = details.item(0).getChildNodes().item(0).getNodeValue();
   //Instantiate an object of BASE64Decoder...
   BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
   //Decode the encoded information....
   byte b[] = decoder.decodeBuffer(data);
   //Parse the decoded data i.e. nothing but the real payload....
   Document docNew = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(b));

   TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
   Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
   DOMSource source = new DOMSource(docNew);
   StreamResult result = new StreamResult(out);
   transformer.transform(source,result);
  }
  catch (Exception e){
   System.out.println(e);
  }
}
}

Step 3: Create the jar file, import it into IR and assign it in Interface Mapping

Step 4: Test you Interface Mapping

SAP NW PI 7.1: XML Validation in Integration Engine

2008-12-14T06:43:00.001-08:00

In PI 7.1 validation functionality is available, so now with the help of PI 7.1 we can validate our incoming and outgoing messages in IE as well as in AAE corresponding to there structure i.e. xsd or dtd. This blog completely depicts XML Validation in the IE. In my next blog I will demonstrate how we can validate XML messages and message header in AAE.

There are couple of presentations on SDN, that's tell about validation functionality in PI 7.1, but this blog are posted in order to demonstrate the steps which are required to achieve it practically.

When we talk about XML validation in IE, then our incoming messages are validated corresponding to their schemas that are stored in File system. In PI 7.1 new Pipeline steps are introduced ("XML Validation Inbound Channel Request" and "XML Validation Outbound Channel Request") to achieve validation.

If validation fails (Inbound side or Outbound side), then message processing will be stopped. Example, if we validate our incoming messages in IE and if invalid XML entered in IE then processing will fails in second step i.e XML Validation Inbound Channel Request". In previous versions these messages fails in "Request Messaging Mapping" step.

So if validation fails in IE, Error description will be visible in MONI. It gives detailed error description and all structure errors information's.

Important: If validation performed in IE, then sender will not get information about the failed structures. Administrator will look on these messages and can take further actions. In case of validation in AAE, adapter can send the error message to the sender.

"Fault Messages, Receipt Acknowledgement, Exceptions are not validated".

Following steps demonstrate how we achieve the incoming XML validation in IE.

1. Design your objects in ESR.

2. Configure your objects ID.

3. Required to validate incoming messages by IE, so check the option "Validation by Integration Engine" in Sender Agreement

4. Create appropriate directories structure where we have to save our structure (xsd).

\usr\sap\<system id>\SYS\global\xi\runtime_server\<A>\<B>\<C>\<D>\<E>\<F>

A - validation

B - schema

C - GUID of the SWCV where service interface reside.

D - Repository Namespace where Service Interface is created.

E - Service Interface Name

F - Repository Namespace where Message Type or External Definition is assigned.

Note: if your ESR namespace contains special character then do replace it with "~" in folder name.

If namespace is http://farooq.com/XI/FileToFile then folder name should be

http~farooq.com~XI~FileToFile

Export schema from the ESR and save it in folder "F" with name <<RootElementOfMessageType>>.xsd. So in this case it is MT_File_Sender.xsd

5. Testing of the Scenario.

In this example, all designed values for source MT are mandatory. What happen if ZIP tag is missing in sender message or payload.

In XML document ZIP is missing

Message fail in IE and message processing stopped. The Error description is appropriate for the administrators.

Similarly we can validate outgoing messages in IE by selecting an option "Validation by Integration Engine" in Receiver Agreement.

SAP NW PI 7.1 - Publishing Service Interface as a webservice in Service Registry

2008-12-13T04:59:00.000-08:00

In PI 7.1 it is possible to publish Outbound or Inbound interfaces better to call Service Interfaces as a webservice in Service Registry (SR). We can publish service interfaces in SR by two ways

1. Using Integration Directory: Go to Sender Agreement, click on Publish. Refer section 2 in order to Search or Test your services in SR.

Note - Supported adapter types are HTTP, SOAP, XI, WS only. For other adapter it will pop an Error.

2. Using Service Registry: Required Endpoint WSDL for a service definition in order to publish it in the SR.

This information will help to know how we can Publish, Search or Test our services in SR.

Step 1 - Getting Endpoint WSDL for a service.

In Integration Directory--Sender Agreement--Display WSDL.

It will display the WSDL as well as provide End point WSDL URL that we can use in SR. In PI 7.1 it is not required to manually formulate your sender SOAP URL, generated WSDL contains all the required information.

Step 2. Logon to Service Repository using http://hostname:5SystemNumber00/sr and enter the Endpoint WSDL address and click on Publish.

Step 3. Once Service Interface published successfully; consumer can search services in SR and later can consume it.

Step 4. Test your services.

Click on Test button in order to Test your service.

Click on the red marked button.

Step 5. Enter parameters and execute it.
