Bug regarding not filling in length of varchar field in logical model?

I successfully was able to create a logical model, engineer to relational, and generate DDL from this.
However, I found after generating the DDL and attempting to run it, I received errors in creation of some tables saying "missing left parentheses."
After going back and checking, it turned out that I was somehow able to define columns of type varchar in the logical model without putting in a length for the column. Data Modeler generated the DDL for the table looking something like this:
CREATE TABLE LIC_TYPE
    ID     INTEGER NOT NULL ,
    CODE   VARCHAR2 (1024 BYTE) NOT NULL ,
    "DESC" VARCHAR2
LOGGING ;
(for the DESC column) -- which then throws an error.
Should DDL generation should throw a warning when attempting to create CHAR or VARCHAR columns without a length instead of generating the DDL with no errors? Or is this intended functionality?

Best practice to define length for varchar field of table in sql server

What is best practice to define length for a varchar field in table
where field suppose Remarks By Person varchar(max) or varchar(4000)
Could it affect on optimization in future????
experts Reply Must ...
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Varchar(n/max) is a variable-length, non-unicode character data. N defines the string length and can be a value from 1 through 8,000. Max indicates that the maximum storage size is 2^31-1 bytes (2 GB). The storage size is the actual length of the data entered
+ 2 bytes. We always use varchar when the sizes of the column data entries vary considerably. While if the filed data size might exceed 8,000 bytes in some way, we should use varchar(max).
So the conclusion is just like Uri said, use varchar(max) or varchar(4000) is depends on how much characters we are going to store.
The following document about varchar in SQL Server is for your reference:

Forum Bug regarding not seeing new posts

I've posted this here as many users are reporting forum issues where they will get a notification of a new post made to a thread but they cannot see it.
This is a forum bug which Apple is aware of... and are trying to resolve but in the meantime here are two (somewhat impractical) fixes i have found...
1) Open the forum on a different Mac or Apple device and the posts will show up... Go back to the original Mac or Apple device and they will not appear unless you make a new post in that thread yourself... after the missing posts.
2) Post a new reply and then any posts made prior to your new reply will show up
It is not a cookie related problem as cleaning out the cookies does not fix the issue Its odd as if this is the case then how is this bug only specific to one Mac? Something must be tracking something, somehow but it doesn't appear to be via cookies....
Quiting and restarting Safari nor restarting your Mac, doesn't fix it either...
If anyone finds any other workarounds, please post them here....
Thanks...

Yes I know that, but I was referring to another situation where I get a thread notification by mail, I open the thread and do not see the new message, I then sign in et voila here it is. And in my situation this has, until now, always worked.
You have been lucky. I am signed continuously, but still most of the post are missing, when I go to them from an email notification. My "." key is rather worn out by now from using it to force posts to show

VF02, Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled

Hi, SD Expert.
When I released the billing document to accounting, used VF02, the system displayed a message 'Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled', and I found the field of business area was blank, but I already assign the business area to plant and division and post the data comparision.
Edited by: lin huanxin on Jan 20, 2011 9:40 AM

Also please note If you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your billing document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.
To check this, Go to IMG Path -- Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting (New) --> Document Splitting --> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger
There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center. So check in your billing document, whether any line item does not have profit center.

Character semantics when setting the length of NVARCHAR2 field (Oracle 10g)

SQL> CREATE TABLE viv_naseleni_mesta (
2 naseleno_mjasto_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
3 ime NVARCHAR2(15 CHAR) NOT NULL,
4 oblast_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES viv_oblasti(oblast_id),
5 grad CHAR NOT NULL CHECK (grad IN (0,1)),
6 de_timestamp TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
7 de_update_time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
8 de_operator INTEGER DEFAULT NULL,
9 de_versija NUMBER(5,2) DEFAULT NULL
10 );
ime NVARCHAR2(15 CHAR) NOT NULL,
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
It seems that the DB does not accept the length of a field to be given in character
semantics. I have several sources that say it is possible, but is that
only possible in 11g?

According to the docs, NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 types are always character-based. So specifying in CHAR doesn't make sense explicitly.

Bal field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled at the time of F-53

We are in ECC6
I have posted a vendor document. The entry is shown as under.
     GL                           CC     PC     Segment
Dr     Expense GL-1     RV01     RGV1     Hyderabad
Dr     Expense GL-2     RV02     RGV2     Mumbai
Cr     Vednor a/c
but when i am posting a payment document (Dr Bank GL and Cr vendor a/c) to this vendor I am getting the following error.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled.
I have check ed the configuration setting in this regard. Zero balance, mandatory fields for profit center and segement check box is enabled. And also the inheratence check box is also enabled.
Pls suggest soulution soon for the above problem.

Hi,
Try to default the profit center in FAGL3KEH for the Bank account and try posting.
In SAP, the vendors and customers cannot be assigned to any profit center. They derive the profit center from the profit center picked from the GL as in the case of the expense entry that you mentioned.
Try to assign a default profit center and check.

Portal Report from SQL query will not fill the page irrespective of column width.....

I'm displaying a report in a portal and if you run in full screen the table does not fill the page.
I can change the column width from xx percent to xx pixel and nothing makes a difference
any ideas?

Which version of portal are you using. This is a bug. It has been fixed in 30984.

0HR_PY_1 Datasource: Fields not filled

Hello to everyone!
I'm afraid that I need some help from you. We are extracting HR data via 0HR_PY_1 Datasource and I have noticed that some fields are not filled by the extraction program. I've read BW Online Help about this datasource and I have realized that the extraction program doesn´t fill these fields.
Do you know how can I do to make these fields to be filled?
The fields are:
- KOKRS_CO
Controlling area
Not filled
- CO_AREA_WP
Controlling area of master cost center
Not filled
-LSTAR_CO
Debited activity type
Not filled
VORNR_CO
Debited transaction
Not filled
GSBER_CO
Debited business area
Not filled
KOSTL_CO
Debited cost center
Not filled
BUKRS_CO
Debited company code
Not filled
NPLNR_CO
Debited network
Not filled
AUFNR_CO
Debited order
Not filled
PS_POSID_CO
Debited WBS element
Not filled
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Mª Victoria Durá

Thank you very much for your help but, I'm afraid that the procedure that you explained is for enhancing the datasource but my problem is that the fields already exist but they are not filled by extraction programmes. I don't understand why does SAP make this and I was wondering if there are any way to make these fields to be filled using the standard procedure. I mean, if these fields are not filled (and SAP tells you so in BW Online Help), why these fields are included in the extract structure and in the datasource?. I tend to think that there are any procedure to follow in order to fill these fields. What do you think about it?. In adition, the not-filled-fields are CO objects so it doesn´t appear to me to be very easy the filling of them.
I don't know if anybody has been in the same situation or if is there any documentation about it that can help. Thank you for your help!

Hi
Balance Sheet Accounts are required to be split in case you have document splitting activated u2026.. and in your case the profit center is made mandatory for the documents to get splitted u2026.. and the profit center would be derived from cost centeru2026u2026u2026. therefore to split the document by using document type u2013 SA through F-02 we need to do further settings, i.e., you need to configure u201CExtended Document Splitting Configurationu201D
For example: Rent expenditure is been posted which is having more than 2 Debits and consisting of different Cost Centers and posting to Rent Payable A/c which is a Balance sheet A/cu2026u2026.
Path: Financial Accounting (New) - - General Ledger Accounting (New) - - Business Transactions - - Document Splitting - - Extended Document Splitting -- Define Document Splitting Rule
Define your Business Transaction variant and for that variant define document splitting rule u2026u2026u2026.. where in you need to activate Automatically split check box for the desired categories.

Balancing field "Segment" in line item 001 not filled while posting through

HI All,
I am experiencing the below error while processing FB70 transaction in Foreign currency with Tax codes (earlier this problem was not there, this is happening recently). The error description as given below.
"Balancing field "Segment" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Segment marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose."
I have verified all the relevant settings like Classify G/L accounts for document Splitting and Document types etc and all settings are seems to be ok.
But in the below two instances, Iu2019m not getting any error:
If posting is done in company code currency with same tax codes.
If posting is done in foreign currency without tax codes
Your early respons is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanx & Regards
Ramesh

Hello
Have you chosen Segment as Mandatory for the Scenarios during Document splitting. If not then for the G/L account you are facing problems with goto the field status and make segment field optional.
Thanks and Regards

According to me, you have two options, either enter the PC at the time of document entry or Go to doc.splitting & uncheck the PC mandatory field under doc. splitting characteristics for GL accounting.

Data Origin Types not filled in the tab "Control Data" of BP interface

Hello experts,
I have loaded the clients from ECC6.0 to CRM 4.0.
Before I have loaded the clients I have maintained the data origin type for the BP in spro -> cross application components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business partner -> Basic settings -> Data Origin -> Maintain Data Origin Type.
After I have done the load initial of clients, the field "Data Origin" is empty in the tab "Control Data" in BP interface. If I do F4 in the field appear the configuration that I did in spro appear.
For this field will appear filled I'll need to do more configurations in spro?
Best regards,
Mary

Hi Mary,
The middleware does not fill this field in BP master data. You can maintain data origin type in SPRO, however the mBdoc does not use this customizing in order to fill this field.
Please try to use the BADI CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI in order to fill this field during master data download.
It hope it helps.

Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 003 not filled during AFAB

Hello all,
We have activated business function FIN_GL_REORG_1 on EHP5 in ECC 6.0 and related reporting business function. One of the advantages of activating this for Fixed Assets is now asset balances can be reported at Profit Center/Segment level in sub ledger.
During executing depreciation, we are getting the below error message
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 003 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 003, even after document splitting.
Below configuration is done in our system -
Document splitting is active with standard variants for FA accounts.
Segment Reporting is actived under Asset Accounting IMG (under Integration with General :edger Accounting)
Activation of account assignment objects is active for cost center and specify account assignment types for account assignment objects KOSTL is configured for all transaction types (*) for APC and Depreciation postings is activated.
APC, Accumulated Dep and Dep expense account field status groups are changed to have profit center and segment as optional fields for inputs.
After all these settings, I am still getting the above error message.
Can someone please let me know if you had similar situation and how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Praveen

Check the below locations
Fin Accounting(New)Fin A/c Global Settings NewLedgersAssign scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers (Here assign Profit Centre)
Fin AccountingGL Accounting NewBusiness TransactionsDoc splittingDefine doc splitting characteristics for GL Accounting (Here Profit Centre mandatory check) Check with Activate and Deactivate
