Customizing MSS reporting selection period dropdown list

We have diffrent ABAP programs that uses the PNP logical database and we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the MSS reporting iview. In same scenarios we want to display only 'Today'. In these scenarios we use the report together with a variant.
When the user execute the report, the selection period on the variant is used and that is 100% correct. The problem is that the user change the selection period on the frontend (on the Iview) and this is not what is reflected on the output of the report, becasue the report uses a variant.
Therefore we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the Iviewin the scenarios where a report uses a variant.
I know that we cannot customize the perido selction on the Iview, beacue we cannot set the properties on the Iview.
Is anybody familiar with how we can accomplish this.

Hi Darren,
We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

If you have tabs on top and no menu then the tabs are in a "Windows" area so there is no space to right. If you put tabs back to the bottom you will have most of your old behavior but because of the changes to tabs on top most of the tab context menu stuff all of the context menu part was lost except the customize toolbar stuff, double-clicking on an empty spot was restored, and eventually during the FF 4 beta most of the tab extensions Firefox messed up eventually worked again except in the area to the right of the tabs.
The Windows part of that double-click has to maximize or restore to normal,
and you have to be able to drag the window by it;'s title bar.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Customizing MSS reporting period dropdown

We are in the process of upgrading our portal from EP6 to EP7 (NW04s). We have installed the updated business packages for MSS which are now web dynpro iViews. In the previous selection criteria iView that we utilized, we could set a property "Selection period values" to customize the entries available in the period dropdown. I do not see such a property on the new reporting iView I am using, mss~rpt. Is anyone familiar with how to accomplish this?

Hi Darren,
We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

MSS - reporting - selection criteria - translation

Hi
The selection criteria iView
( com.sap.pct.hcm.rpt_objectselection )
has two drop down lists fields:
1) reporting period
2) limitation (all employees, directly subordinate
employees etc)
I need to translate them to french.
If I inlcude the iView in my translation list I see
the reporting period object as:
Selection period values
(0=today, 1=current year, 2=current month,
3=all, 4=past, 5=future, 6=key date, 7=other period)
which I can translate without problem.
but i do not see the object for the limitation.
Any help appreciated.
Thanx
Paul

Paul,
I think you need to do them in R/3. Lok at table V_TWPC_V & V_TWPC_VC (customer view of V_TWPC_V) this is where codes for All Employees etc and the texts are held.
thanks,
Paul

Adobe Form Section is Not Showing When Value is Selected from Dropdown List

Hello Experts
We have this issue where an ADOBE FORM is embedded in a WEBDYNPRO APPLICATION.
When selecting a value from the dropdown field in the ADOBE FORM, some particular section in the ADOBE FORM is not shown.
Here's the ADS and NW versions that we were using. We are running on EHP5 landscape.
- ADS - 7.3 SPS 3
- NW 7.3 SPS 3
PS. The same program is working in EHP4 correctly.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

This is a custom built form, the thing is we just upgraded our system to EHP5 and we are in the test phase. The same form works in system in EHP4.
Based on the dropdown list selection, there are some sections in the form which are hidden previously will be shown now. when you change the country in the dropdown the new sections appear. The sections will not be visible before you select the couuntry from dropdown.
Should I upgrade my Adobe live cycle designer version to a higher one?
Thanks

Read value selected in Dropdown list in user exit

Hello,
I have mulitple variable in my web interface.
The first one is a list of months that the user can change and the others are calculated by user exit.
The problem is that i need the month in the user exit.
When the user has already a variable set for him, with ZGET_VARIABLE_DETAILS, i can have this month.
My problem is when the user changes the month in the web interface.
For exemple, the user has already save the layout with 01.2006, my user exits variables will find 01.2006 and be calculated with that month. After, the user changes the month to 11.2006, the problem, is that ZGET_VARIABLEDETAIL still return 01.2006, and my user exit variable are not anymore correct. But in the interface, the header area show well 11.2006. it's confusing for the user ...
If the user saves, that will set the month variable to 11.2006 and the next refresh will be ok.
Any idea how i can find this 11.2006 ? the current value of the dropdown list ?
Regards,
Jarod

Hello Vlad,
The flag is well to true, and my layouts are well refreshed, but on the resfresh, the user exit variable read the month variables, and then calculation are made.
But on the read of the month variable, even if the dropdown bow has changed, this is still the set value which is read.
It seems that when you change the value in the dropdown, it doesn't set the value. It's only a display, and when you save, it set the value.
The problem is that for my refresh, i need to read the new month, the "displayed" value. In the header are of my layout, it's well the new month, but i cant find it in background for my user exit variable.

MSS Report Selection

Hi,
I am working on MSS My Team. In the role there is a workset about reporting I configure the releated organizational views. But all report are not working. Thats why i want to delete some reports from categories. Or I want to delete one category from category selection combobox.
How can I do this? I could not find the releated part in the customizing steps.
Regards,

Depends on what version you are using...
MSS for ECC5 and lower...all reporting for the "report launchpad" is done via Manager's Desktop (MDT) configuration actually. MDT is found right under the Employee Self Serevice config area in the IMG (not IN it, under it...as in the next listing down...usually)
For ECC6 now, you can still use the above or "migrate" that config to the newer config way of doing things (has it's own section under MSS now too).

Hello Experts,
                    I am facing one strange issue in Adobe Forms Drop Down(DD) list. Foll. is the list data which contains a several item data & blank value. After item data selection user must be able to select blank value in case he doesn't want to set the value to Order Unit as shown in screen shot below.
                              Now my issue is after any of the item values selection (for ex. BAG - BAG) user is not able to set the blank value again at my client system. However its working fine in mine. When checked client is using Adobe Reader 8.0 which is same as mine.
Thanks in advance.

This selection is working fine in my sytem, but my client facing the issue where he can not select the blank value from DD.

Polulate textfield(s) from a MS SQL Database based on selection from DropDown List

I am new to LiveCycle Designer. I am trying to create a Master Bill of Lading form. I want the user to be able to enter a Store Number from a in a text field and, based on what they enter I want to populate the address information from a database on my SQL Server.
When I bind the address fields from the database, I only see the first record in the database.
I'm not sure where to go from here...
Thanks in advance,

That seemed to fix my error and returned the value to my DDL.
I have modified the code so it looks at the clone of my dataConnection (dcStoreData)
CODE:
btnClear.MainPage.sStNo::change - (JavaScript, client)
var inStrNbr = xfa.event.newText;
if (inStrNbr == ""){
app.alert("You must enter a valid name - try again!") } var nIndex = 0;
while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != "dcStoreData")
nIndex++;
tfStoreID.rawValue = inStrNbr;
var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).clone(1);
// the node pertaining to the data connection specified
//app.alert(oDB.saveXML("pretty"));
//set up sql call to DB to get specifics about employee
oDB.nodes.item(1).query.setAttribute("text", "commandType");
oDB.nodes.item(1).query.select.nodes.item(0).value = "Select * from tblStoreMast_LastVersion where StorNbr = '" + inStrNbr + "'";
//app.alert(oDB.nodes.item(1).saveXML("pretty"));
//now connect to DB and get a record
oDB.open()
oDB.close();
it runs with no error and I am seeing the value it has given my DDL.rawValue
Now I get the "error:"
GeneralError: Operation failed.
XFAObject.open:16:XFA:btnClear[0]:MainPage[0]:sStNo[0]:change
ado2xfa operation failed. Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.
My Store Number is stored as an int in the database.
Do I have to somehow cast it as a character?
Sorry for the headache!
