Problem in creating data type

hi..
i've problem in creating data type in xi after importing idoc from the R/3 sender
plz tell me the basic steps for creating data type in the receiver i.e xi.....
thanks in advance

Hi,
You don't need to create a data type after importing the IDOC.
Idoc itself acts as message type and message interface.
check this for creating a data type..

Import XSD to create Data type in Design

hi,
I know that we can import XSD in Design and create data type,my question is:
1. Can i import an XSD thats been created in message mapping and use that to create my data type in design.
(or)
2.Should i have to write an XSD on my own and then import it to create my data type, and is there any standard format to write it.

Hello Prashanth,
For your first question: i don't know exactly what you mean that the the xsd you create in the data mapping steps. So can you explain it in details?
For your 2nd question: Sure you can write your own XSD to create a data type. And i will give you an example xsd file format. Then you can import it in the XSD tab view.

Hi surya,
I per your suggestion i did like this ,
data : date1 like sy-datum.
types : w_date1 type sy-datum.
date1 = w_date1(ztable-date1). "ztable-date1 - is screen field.
but it is giving error "The field "W_DATE1" is unknown, but there is a field with the similar name "DATE1" . . . ."

Validation while create data type

HI All ,
I have a pop-up in my report that user can create data type in didc,
There is a simple way to support validation for data types ,
I have pop-up where the user need to provide name of attribute
he need to create and the data type for it (char ,string ,int etc )
and he also need to provide the leng of the attribute he want to create
(e.g. char10 ) and also decimal places .
the issue here that i need to do some validation in the pop-up
for e.g. if user choose
case 1
name     - attribute1
datatype - string
leng   - in this case he dont need to provide leng (string )
dec - dont need to provide (string )
case 2
name     - attribute1
datatype - char
leng   - 10
dec - dont need to provide (char )
Any idea how to do this validation in a simple way (maybe to use standard functionlity)
Regards

HI Keshav.
What i did is created a popup with FM in the popup i have 4 field
the field with the data type which i want to trigger event to it is domain and not ref to FM
The ppoup have 4 field
attr name
datatype
length
decimal
so from what you are say there is not option to trigger event when the user press F4
and choose a entry from it ,
since what i want to do is that if user for instance chose string i want that the next to fields (length and dec ) will be
remove from the popup since he dont need them .
and for he choose char the the decimal field will remove from the popup
Any idea how to solve this issue ?
Regards
Alex

How create data type for coulmn name having special characters in IR

hi ,
any idea how to create how to do create data type for coulmn name having special characters

Hi Amit,
Can you ellaborate ?
Actually if you are reading a file(or anything else) which contains special characters, the data type can be created as done for other interfaces. But it is in the adapters that we actually take care of handling these special characters.

Create Data Type from XSD

Hey guys
i need to create Data Type from and XSD,in the beginning i had an XML document which i converted to XSD using Altova ,then i imported this XSD in IR under External definition,now how should i go ahead with creating Data Type?
my sample XSD is something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!W3C Schema generated by XMLSpy v2007 sp2 (http://www.altova.com)>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <xs:element name="WorkOrderNumber">
          <xs:simpleType>
               <xs:restriction base="xs:short">
                    <xs:enumeration value="10942"/>
               </xs:restriction>
          </xs:simpleType>
     </xs:element>
     <xs:element name="VendorNumber">

Why need message type when u create data type...

why need message type when u create data type...

Hi,
A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. At the following points in SAP Exchange Infrastructure you can refer to the message to be exchanged at runtime by using the message type:
·        More than one message interface can use the same message type. For example, an asynchronous outbound message interface and an asynchronous inbound message interface can reference the same message type because the request message does not need to be mapped.
·        When defining a message mapping you can directly reference message types to map messages from an outbound interface to messages from a receiver interface.
For technical reasons, a data type is not sufficient to describe the instance of a message. In XML schema, data types are defined as abstract types that are not yet fixed to an element. You can only describe an instance of a message when you have specified a data type as an element type. Therefore, a message type defines the root element of a message.
A message type does not define the direction of the message exchange, in other words, whether it is a request or a response. In exceptional cases you can use the same message type for both the request and the response message.
A message type has the following characteristics:
·        It comprises exactly one data type, which determines the content of the message to be transferred.
·        It is identified by a name and an XML namespace. The name (together with the namespace) of a message type is located in the uppermost tag of the message to be exchanged. This is an element tag.
You have defined a message type GreetingRes that references a simple data type of type xsd:string. The XML namespace of the message type is http://sap.com/xi/myExample. The corresponding payload might look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns1:GreetingRes xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/myExample"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   Hello Mrs. Miller
</ns1:GreetingRes>
You can specify how a message type is used in more detail in the description
hope this will help you.

Creating data types

Hi
How do u create a data type when u get an input file.
How do u know when to create header , footer n all?
Can some one tell me or send a url on how to create data types. would be of great help!
Thanks!

HI,
Generally identifying the structure from the input file need some analysis work.
You may refer some of the below tips while creating the data types
1. List down the input structure of data fields from input file.
2. Decide the Header and detail information based on the data and go for sub-structure.
3. With File adapter try to maintain the structure level max. upto 2.
i.e. Root>Header>Fields etc.
4. Try to avoid the substructure for the internal fields.
5. Decide the Occurances fo every root and sub structures and fields.
6. Identify if there any relations within Header and detail fields.etc.
Check with SAP Help for various activities

Hi,
You can use the create data statement:
DATA: lo_data TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <str> TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA lo_data TYPE string.
ASSIGN lo_data->* TO <str>.
Here <str> will be of type string.

Error While Creating Date type condition query

Hi All,
I am getting following error while creating a multiple condition query.
ERROR:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unexpected field type for D: java.lang.String
I am pasting the scrap of the code for review below.
pls note after removing the condition cond6; it works fine, and cond6 is for date type field.
for(int j=1;j<7;j++){
fd[j] =trd.getFieldDescriptor(arrayHeaderFieldNames[j]);
BasisFieldType bft1 = fd[j].getFieldType();
if (bft1 == BasisFieldType.C) {
filterOperator[j] = RelationalOperatorType.CONTAINS; }
else{
filterOperator[j] = RelationalOperatorType.EQUALS;
order[j] =queryFactory.createSortOrder(fd[j],true);
cond1 =queryFactory.createCondition(fd[1], filterOperator[1], values[0]);
cond2 =queryFactory.createCondition(fd[2], filterOperator[2], values[1]);
cond3 =queryFactory.createCondition(fd[3], filterOperator[3], values[2]);
cond4 =queryFactory.createCondition(fd[4], filterOperator[4], values[3]);
cond5 =queryFactory.createCondition(fd[5], filterOperator[5], values[4]);
cond6 =queryFactory.createCondition(fd[6], filterOperator[6], values[5]);
Condition cond = queryFactory.createCondition(new Condition[]{cond1,cond2,cond3,cond4,cond5,cond6},LogicalOperatorType.AND);
Please Help!
Thanks n regards,
Kapoorchand.

Hi,
well that problem is a long time back -. I only have in mind that the date I had to transfer to the quesry was in a "strange" format. Have a lock into the documentation for the date field - your date field is not recognised as a date field from the quesry engine and so this fails - but unfortunately I have no idea at the moment how I fixed it last time - how I converted my date field......
Sorry, thast I can not give you the real point - but I will have a lock into the old code - hopefully I find it soon.
Regards,
Oliver

Problem with datetime data type in Web Service

Hi,
I created local ABAP proxy based on a WSDL and some of the fields for the SOAP methods has data type datetime:
name="MsgEndTimeStamp" type="s:dateTime" />
name="MsgStatus" type="s:string"/>
Since ABAP stack doesnt support dataTime data type it has created the proxy method with data type STRING. Now when I call the proxy method (consuming the service) I get an error:
<CODE>SoapFaultCode:4</CODE>
<ERRORTEXT>Server was unable to read request. --> There is an error in XML document (1, 626). --> String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.</ERRORTEXT>
I am sure others have faced the same issue. Can someone help?
Thanks

Thanks but I dont think that link is much relevant to the problems I am facing, because I cannot change the web service definition as it is used by many others. Also the target application runs on oracle so thats why some of the fields are datetime and I dont want to change that, even if I could.
I am just stuck in creating the wrapper program to call the service since the SAP converts datetime data type to string and when the messages gets to the application it cannot convert string -> datetime.
thanks anyway

OBIEE-Answers Problems with NVARCHAR2 data type elements

Hello experts,
After we completed the .rpd development and ported to the real-time environment, when we try to create requests in Answers of Presentation services by selecting certain columns only and try to see results, we are getting an error if the columns are of NVARCHAR type. The error is given below.
This is stopping end users being not able to create any answers/requests. Please suggest how we can resolve this or if any specific things need to be done to solve the problem.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 87720170. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 24328, message: ORA-24328: illegal attribute value at OCI call OCIAttrSet. [nQSError: 17007] Error while executing OCIDefine routines. (HY000)

Hello Damon,
Thanks for the response.
We have also tried to query the same data through SQL*Plus and it went well. We had no issues with any data. Also the .RPD is working in our local system with the same data, on windows OS. But when we port the .RPD in the Server (Sun Solaris) we are having problems with the columns which are considered as NVARCHAR2 in the database and VARCHAR in the Physical layer of BI.
We observed there is no NVARCHAR2 data type supported in BI administrator in building the RPD. Is there any other datatype supports the NVARCHAR2 datatype in BI?
Thanks,
Narasimha
