Showing Dynamic Columns in UWL

Hello guys
I m building a customized UWL using WDJ and the UWL API... Everything is working fine, except for one detail: I need to show a dynamic column created into swl1.
There is any way to do this? I looked for something into UWL APIs javadoc and didn't found nothing.....
Thanks

Hello guys
Thanks for you replies. I think that I was not clear in my question.....
I have already configured the UWL and created a simple application in WD....
The problem is that I need to bring an dynamic column created into swl1 transaction.... This column could be showed when you enter into R/3 inbox and select the "Change Layout" option, but this option is not avaliable into standard UWL. I tried to create an new application using the UWL API, but I couldnt access this column to....
The steps are showed at the follow prints: http://img33.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=swl1.jpg
Maybe this limitation is caused because the UWL is created to work with N types of workflows, so it could not be so specific ( Am I telling bullshit ?? ) .
Did you got my problem now... My English is poor, so maybe I cant expose my problems clearly.
Thanks

How to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal

Hi All,
I am working on UWL Portal. I am new to UWL. I have down loaded uwl.standard XML file and costomized for getting the values for "select a Subview" dropdown and I am able to see the values in the dropdown. Now my requirement is to get the dynamic columns based on the selection from dropdown value.
can any body suggest on how to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal.

Hi Manorama,
1) If you have already created a portal system as mentioned in following blog
/people/marcel.salein/blog/2007/03/14/how-to-create-a-portal-system-for-using-it-in-visual-composer
2) If not, then try to create the same. Do not forgot to give the Alias name .
3) After creating a system, log on to the VC, Create one iView.
4) Now Click on "Find Data" button from the list which you can view in right side to Visual composer screen.
5) After clicking on "Find Data" button, it will ask for System. If you have created your system correctly and Alias name is given properly, then your mentioned Alias name is appeared in that list.
6) Select your system Alias name and perform search.
7) It will display all the BAPIs and RFCs in your systems.
8) Select required BAPI and develop the VC application.
Please let me know if you any further problems.
Thanks,

Dynamic columns in UWL

Hi Experts,
I have added some dynamic columns to my SBWP worklist which are displayed fine. But these columns are not visible when i check my portal UWL, is there any setting i would have to tweak to get them displayed in UWL.
Thanks in Advance,
Chaitanya.

Hi,
The dynamic columns that you define in backend, will not work in UWL by default.
You need to configure the dynamic columns in UWL separately in UWL XML configuration. Refer to the UWL DTD. Basically you need to create a new view and the custom columns as custom attributes that you can then display in the view as custom columns. Try to search with these key words in SDN. Most probably someone has explained this and given some hints how to do it.

Hi People
Is there anyone that know how to change the UWL so it uses Dynamic Columns for Worklist . I know that it is possible to do this in the portal by changing the XML's to the UWL. But at the moment i am trying to get this to work from the NWBC 3.0.
When i setup the uwl in NWBC i use the dynpro application SWF_WORKPLACE.

hi sky ,
use dynamic table as:-
Declaration for Dynamic Table:-

 <l_fs_bom> TYPE ANY.
*---Dynamic Internal Table
DATA: dy_table TYPE REF TO data,
 dy_table1 TYPE REF TO data,
 dy_line TYPE REF TO data.
Creation of Dynamic Internal Table:-
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
 EXPORTING
 it_fieldcatalog = fcat (for which internal table needs to be built)
 IMPORTING
 ep_table = dy_table
 EXCEPTIONS
 generate_subpool_dir_full = 1
 OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
Population of Dynamic Internal Table:-

ASSIGN dy_table->* TO <dyn_table>.
CREATE DATA dy_line LIKE LINE OF <dyn_table>.
ASSIGN dy_line->* TO <dyn_wa>.
ASSIGN dy_table->* TO <dyn_table1>.
CREATE DATA dy_line LIKE LINE OF <dyn_table1>.
ASSIGN dy_line->* TO <dyn_wa1>.
 LOOP AT it_parent.
 l_tabix = sy-tabix.

Hi,
If you have month number column (1...12), create a dashboard prompt and assign a presentation variable pv_mno, (Create an edit box prompt)
If you do not have it create an case statement over month name and populate 1..12 and put filter over it.
In Answers, put add a filter over that column with condition is less than or equal to the presentation variable (pv_mno).
In Answers bring ID,Name, Month Name, Measures.
Go to pivot view put the month name column in columns sections. hide the measure heading.
Have the Id, Name in Rows section.
Thanks,
Vino

I have to show dynamic columns with static columns including column header and I am choosing the Cross Tab style. I have done this already in SSRS but failed to do in Crystal Report version (Crystal Report Basic for Visual Studio 2008).

Creating Query with dynamic columns to show results

Hi experts,
I need to know how to create a query with dynamic columns. Meaning, I don't want to create a query with fixed columns representing the 12 periods of the fiscal year to show me actuals as the fiscal year proceeds.
For example, if I am currently in the middle of period 3 (March) of a fiscal year, when I execute the query, I need it to automatically only show me the 'Actuals' for periods 1 and 2, without seeing the columns from periods 3 to 12 showing blank.
Then when I am in the middle period 5 (May) the query should ONLY show me the columns for periods 1 to 4 'Actuals', no results should be shown for periods 5 to 12 yet, and I don't want to even see blank columns for period 6 to 12.
How do I define my columns, to achieve this.
Maximum points will be awarded.
Thanks Everyone.

Hi Josh,
I'm having a little difficuluty understanding what should be included in my restricted key figures.
The time characteristics that I have available to use are:
0FISCPER3 (posting period)
0FISCYEAR (fiscal year), currently using SAP EXIT to default current fiscal year.
0FISCVARNT (fiscal year variant).
In addition, I have the following characteristics available to be used in the columns:
Value type (10)
version (currently I'm using variable for it)
Currency type (020)
Currency (USD).
Can you explain what my restricted key figure should be based on and how it should look.
I tried to create a restircted key figure using 0AMOUNT, and 0FISCPER3. For 0FISCPER3 I created a range from 1 to previous period (using SAP EXIT that supplied previous period).I also had value type, version, currency type, and currency included in that restricted key figure.Then when I tried to drag 0FISCPER3 under the restricted key figure once again, it wouldn't let me, probably because I've already used 0FISCPER3 in the restricted key figure.
Please let me know if my explanation is not clear.
Your step by step help would be great.
Thanks

Showing BPM attributes in UWL custom columns.

Will be of great help if someone can give us a solution.

if i am not wrong, it is not possible with uwl.
you can do it with bpm inbox.

Is it possible to show/hide dynamically columns in RDLC form?

We need to show/hide dynamically columns in our Report RDLC form based by the user desire needs.
We need by the predefined checkboxes to set which columns should be seen and which should be hidden.
Is it possible in RDLC form to make it "show/hide columns dynamically" with any way?

Depends on what you mean dynamically, you still need to press the view report button.
What you can do is right click on the column you want to be able to hide/display in design mode,
click "Column visibilty", choose "show or hide based on an expression" then in your expression base your true or false on a boolean parameter for each column

Special characters in SBWP dynamic columns are not showing for some users

Hi experts,
We have set up a dynamic columns for business workplace. One of the field displays the comments entered by the user. Some users are able to see the values entered perfectly. But for some users, if we enter special characters like @gopal, it is not displaying the value in dynamic column.
Are there any workflow/user settings need to be changed.
Thanks
Gopal

I had the same issue, you should check the link between AD and CRM, so you could make a new user in AD and connect your CRM account with it, then you should return the old AD account back. It worked for me, try it :)

DataGrid with dynamic columns & renderers

I'm developing using Flash Builder 4 & Flex SDK 4.1.
I need to manage very dynamic DataGrid components and keep their definitions, which are all part of a complex item renderer of an Offers list.
The objects structure is simplified as follows -
Data: Model --> Offers ArrayCollection --> Offer VO --> DataGrid data ArrayCollection & DataGrid columns Array
View: List --> Offer Item Renderer --> DataGrid
1. Since the DataGrid's columns property accepts only an Array (not ArrayCollection), it seems like Data Binding for defining the columns is very problematic.
I tried to bind it to the source property of an ArrayCollection that would keep my columns definitions, but it didn't really work (mainly header display bugs).
What is the recommended way to keep the dynamic columns definition of a DataGrid?
2. Each column can have a set of dynamic properties, so I created a "mutant" - Column VO that extends DataGridColumn and got a dynamic properties ArrayCollection on it.
The columns got a custom header renderer that includes an icon when there are properties.
The header renderers got 4 main states (NotSelectedWithProperties, SelectedWithProperties, NotSelectedWithoutProperties & SelectedWithoutProperties).
However, the header renderer area seems a bit buggy when maintaning dynamic columns.
Any thoughts on the subject?
3. Anyway, I ended up recreating the DataGrid's columns Array very often (copying the columns definition on the offer's item renderer's dataChange event handler).
Note that the dynamic properties can be edited when the column is selected and I copy their values from the view back to the model when entering the state NotSelectedWithProperties.
This feels way too complicated and I really try to keep it simple, inspite of the required complexity.
Does anyone have better ideas?
4. In some cases the column's item renderer should also be modified into another DataGrid (grid-in-grid).
I used the MXDataGridItemRenderer with a DataGrid and included an ArrayCollection for the "newValue" returned by the editor.
(I use RendererIsEditor=true and on updateComplete populate that variable with the DataGrid's dataProvider contents)
When needed, I loop though the data objects of the parent DataGrid and populate the related field with an ArrayCollection of key-value objects that are displayed on the internal DataGrid.
After adding this feature I encounter very strange bugs -
a. After editing the grid-in-grid values and changing the column's state (selecting & deselecting), I get the following exception:
ArgumentError. Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
at mx.core::UIComponent/setChildIndex().......6993....
All I could find about this is that it might be related to some context error or something, but I'm really stuck on this one.
b. Sometimes another column might copy value from one row to another, running over the previous value.
I'm not sure exactly what sequence of actions causes this behavior, but it's related to that itemRenderer for sure.
c. Switching places with a column that uses the grid item renderer (headerShift) causes a stak overflow of StyleManager that tried to get style from the DataGridItemRenderer. This one I just found out, but couldn't reproduce a second time... strange!
I'm pretty sure this caused another problem that I don't remember at the moment.
The bottom line is that there got to be a better way to implement this feature within this already-complicated environment.
Maybe I'm doing something very wrong here...
Please advice and thanks for reading all this.

Update on item 4a -
This was a major issue (the main reason for opening this thread really) and I managed to resolve it!
As part of my application, I override the default DataGrid behavior for column selection (headerRelease event).
Instead of sorting, I change the column's header looks and define it as Selected (for showing its dynamic properties and enable its deletion).
At first I did this by setting styles, but the look didn't refresh unless I created a new instance of the header renderer.
Later I changed thi behavior to work with states, but I left the new header renderer instance creation commands and those lines created all the mess!
Conclusion -
If you define a custom header renderer for your datagrid column and then a custom item renderer, don't create a new instance of your header renderer!
It would still be nice to get some response for the other issues I raised.
Thanks and have a nice week.

Problem with dynamic column in SBWP

Hi Friends,
In SWL1 I have created two attributes with header as "CANCELLED" and " DESCRIPTION" for a particular task.But my SBWP is still showing columns as "Dynamic column" for the workitems of that task.
Please help me on this.
Thanks.
Dilip

Hi Dilip,
The column headings will only appear in the task-specific view. In other words, by default the headers will be generic because you can have mixed tasks in the worklist, and column 1 can be a date for one task and a company name for another.
The user needs to expand the tree on the left hand side and navigate to the "Approve Purchase Order" (or whatever) node to show only items of that task, then column headers should show up.
Regards,
Mike

Dynamic column names

I created a line chart with the following sql statement:
select null link, periode_jaar, sum(totaal) total from V_KPL_VZ_OWB@rapportage_dwhtest
where periode_jaar = (Select max(periode_jaar) from V_KPL_VZ_OWB@rapportage_dwhtest)
group by periode_jaar
order by periode_jaar
In the legend of the chart the line is named total. I would like have it named for example: Total 2009
