Tricky! Change of navi-attribute values in ABAP and use in selections

Hi gurus,
now I have a teaser that really keeps me busy, and which might be interesting for some of you:
we use several statuses in our Demand Planning in SCM 5.0, some of which can be switched by using a user-function macro which just basically is a ABAP function module that changes navigation attribute values directly on the database, meaning in the master data tables of the respective characteristic.
Now, the code works, the values are changed accordingly, leaving the data set in object status "active" - BUT:
when we call a selection, it still shows the old values, even after activating master data or running the attribute change run!
This is not what we expected. Our wish was, that once the table was updated with the correct field values, we would also see them in our selections.
Details:
we have two statuses as navi-attributes to an article:
DP: YES/NO, and
oDP: YES/NO
Combinations originally are: DP YES/oDP NO
After the status change macro, the table shows the following, as expected:
DP NO/oDP YES
As we have two selections, one on DP status "YES", the other one on oDP status "YES", we would like to see the article vanish in the first selection and show up in the other one...
Does anybody have an idea what is wrong and what we can do to have to proper navi-attribute values from the master data table in the selection? Does the selection not read from the database but from a buffer?
Looking forward to your answers,
Klaus

Hi Fabrice,
yes indeed, I did check the object version, and it is A.
Problem is, the function module changes the data record which is "A" anyway. So the changed data record is active - however, I just had a look at the SID master data table, and it looks that direct changes to the P-table do not affect the X-table where the SIDs are stored. So I guess I will also have to update the X-table with the correct SID-values.
If this works, I let you know. We will be using this change by ABAP quite often, it is rather useful.
Regards and thanks for your prompt reply,
Klaus

Macro help: Nav Attribute Value

Dear Macro Gurus,
I need to realize this
IF the value of the Navigational Attribute "NavChar2" of a POS "Char1" is = a, b, and c
then
do something.
ENDIF
I could do the something
but couldn't get the macro function right for the IF.
Help appreciated
Thanks
BS

Is this any help? Function ACT_IOBJNM_VALUE with a double underscore to separate the characteristic from its nav attribute.
ACT_IOBJNM_VALUE( 'characteristic__navattr' ) = 'X'
which could be implemented in macro similar to attachment

Change the Summary Attribute Value through Java code

Hi ,
I am working on a requirement where I need to set the Attribute value on the final Summary Screen through Java Code.
Code :
        InterviewUserData data = new InterviewUserData();
        InterviewEntityInstance globalInstance = data.getGlobalInstance();
        globalInstance.setValue("Name", value_to_set);
On completion of the interview session Name is displaying as NULL.
I need to set NAME = value_to_set and display it on the final summary screen.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Regards

The InterviewUserData object is effectively a change set, to apply this to a session you use the InterviewSession.submit(InterviewUserData) method. You don't say how you are invoking this code but if it's inside an event Interview Engine handler the InterviewSession object should be accessible.

How to add Navigation attributes values via ABAP while creation of CVC

Hi,
I have a requirement like, I have to add navigational attributes to the cvc record while CVC creation ( /sapapo/mc62 transaction).
There were two scenarios: 1. Usually when they load master data from BW side those navigation attributes available and when we do CVC creation it's automatically picks those values. If NOT then i have to bring Market segment and Business unit navigational attributes values from ECC via RFC function module by passing MPN and End customer division as a input.
I am facing problem when BW side if business unit and Market segment were blank.
Do we have any Function modules available to add navigational attributes data and should update corresponding master data tables.
Please help me step by step process on this.
Thanks
Ravi

Michael,
Are you intending this as a commercial solution or a work around?
To take an existing equivalent, one would build a view in the database tailored for each grid in an Oracle Forms application. Or a separate query layered over tables for each form/grid in a Delphi or Access application? Even if it is ninety nine percent the same over half a dozen forms/grids?
And now you've added a whole slew of "slightly different" rowSetInfos to maintain.
So if you wanted to add a column that needs to appear everywhere... you've just increased the workload multi-fold?
That would be a management nightmare, wouldn't it? Not to mention yet more performance cost and a slower system?
Hmmmm..... I'm not sure I like where this is headed... someone needs to do some convincing...

Automatically Change Database Table Attribute Value.

Hi All,
I am trying to write a tool which will run as a cronjob. This tool which runs periodically, connects to DATABASE and checks the System Central Date of the Server say 20070828(this format!) and also checks the values in Database Table.. if this matches then The Table Attribute should change from "postponed" to "initial".
I have a table named "Task" it has attributes.. ID, TaskDate, Name, State..etc
Now this tool should check the "TaskDate" and alter the "State" if it satisfies the condition.
Could anyone of you help me by giving some tips, so that I can finish the project asap..? This is the last requirement which is pending now.. I am running out of ideas.. ;-(
Let me know, if you require more info to suggest me.
Thanks and Rgds,
Pradeep

Running out of ideas in the sense.. my mind is not workin!! ha ha.. just kiddin..
I already know the concept to schedule cron job.. so the problem here ends..
I wanted some tips how can i change the attribute by just checkin the TaskDate.. i need something like 20070828(i.e only the date related) but in database i have something like 20070828102000(total time!!)
If any of you just give an idea.. then it would do a world of good for me..
Thanks!

Get the message attribute values in Orchestration without using property promotion

I have the following schema :
Now I want to get the values of FName,LName in orchestration without using any property promotion ?
Prakash

There are also multiple ways of creating the Xpath:
- Full path with namespaces - Rahul Madaan showed this one
- Full path without namespaces:
FName = xpath(InputMessage, "string(/*[local-name()='Root']/*[local-name()='IntField'])");
I think this method is handy if you have multiple schemas with similar structure but the namespace
changes. This is also easier to read and less prone to errors if there are any changes.
If you for example wanted the node #3, then it would be
FName = xpath(InputMessage, "string(/*[local-name()='Root']/*[local-name()='IntField'][3]/*[local-name()='IntSubField'])");
- Jump directly to the field/node you need (this one works for at least xml elements):
xpath(InputMessage, "string(//*[local-name()='IntField'])");
I find this useful when picking up key-values from the message, that can be available only once.
All the examples above are for elements. Since you are picking up value from an attribute, the actual structure
is
varFName = xpath(InputMessage,"string(/*[local-name()='StudentDetails']/*[local-name()='Student']/@*[local-name()='FName'])");
And to learn the rest of the possibilities of Xpath, like count, different types, more detailed selections
of the correct Node (Like example, I want only the one where FNAME = 'MyFName') You can try something like: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6944.biztalk-orchestrations-xpath-survival-guide.aspx
Also get DanSharp XmlViewer. It will help you quite a bit when fine tuning the xpaths.

How to access attribute value from another VO using groovy?

Hello, I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
I read a lot of information about this but still I am missing something. I am trying to set the value of a bind variable through Groovy expression in my VO. I want this Bind variable
to have the value from an attribute from another VO. I tried ''adf.object.MyAppModuleImpl.findViewObject('Users1').currentRow.Iduser''
I am getting "oracle.jbo.expr.JISyntaxError: Variable MyAppModuleImpl not recognized". I tried with 'MyAppModule' only but the result is the same.
Can anyone help please?

Hi,
In Production the volume of data is very high, I m splitting the data based on Material No.

500000000000 - 8ZZZZZZZZZ,
900000000000 - FFFFFFFFFFFFF,
and the remaining Material No.s.
I created seperate InfoPaks for the material Ranges for the above three.
I need to load the remaining Material No. data. For the I need to write the ABAP routine at the Infopakage Selections.
Can you help me doing so.
Thanks in Advance.
Surya.

Hi,
analyse the data. total data u can split with the help of Organisational values. take the case in souce system i have 40 million records of sales orders. then i will do like how many sales area's we have in our organization. assume. 4 sales areas then i willl create a infopackage for each. so tat u won't miss any data.
don't go for Material number, select organisational values.
all the best.

How to get the value from a function using a select statement

}thanks again,

the reason why you can't get the text is because you are reading the value before some actually inserts anything in any fields.
Here is what you need to do:
Create a JDialog/JFrame. Create a JPanel and set that panel as contentPane (dialog.setContentPane(panel)). Insert all the components, ie JLabels and JTextFields. Add two buttons, Login and Cancel to the panel as well. Now get the username and password field values using getText() inside the ActionListener of the Login.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class LoginDialog extends JDialog
String username, password;
public LoginDialog( ){
    setTitle( "Login" );
    JPanel content = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 2) ); // as many rows, but only 2 columns.
    content.add( new JLabel( "User Name" ) );
    final JTextField nameField = new JTextField( "" );
    content.add( nameField );
    content.add( new JLabel( "Password" ) );
    final JTextField passField = new JTextField( "" );
    content.add( passField );
    JButton login = new JButton( "Login" );
    login.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae ){
        username = nameField.getText();
        password = passField.getText();
        // call a method or write the code to verify the username and login here...
    content.add( login );
    JButton cancel = new JButton( "Cancel" );
    cancel.addActionListener( new ActionListener( ){
      public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae ){
        dispose(); // close the window or write any code that you want here.
    content.add( cancel );
    pack( ); // pack everything in the dialog for display.
    show(); // show the dialog.

How to calculate the value from prompt and use the value as filter

Hi everyone,
I am designing a OBI query. I want to write a query and one of it filters comes from the dashboard prompt. Say I want to make a query to pull out the record for 3 consective years and user wants to enter the last year # and omit entering the first 2-year code#.Thanks!

Hi,
if i understand your question
you have a prompt for year.. and it's assigned with presentation variable, say: var_year
And you are just entering value for only one year, say 2000.
Then, the request (which is using that prompt value as filter) should display year values 2000, 2000-1 (i.e. 1999), 2000-2 (i.e. 1998).
Is this your requirement?
If then,
Hope you are using edit box as control for year prompt and assign a presentation variable for that prompt.
Now, in report go to filter of year prompt, click on advance > Convert this filter to SQL.
write here... *Times.Year between @{var_year} and @{var_year}-2*
And make sure that your var_year is integer, if not cast it to integer

How to Take source value remove zero and use it In receiver Determination

Hi
I am working On IDOc to Soap channel.
In idoc Fields ,I am using EMPST field from IDOC and accordingly I am putting Condition in Receiver Determination.
IF EMPST 111 Then Revceive1
IF EMPST 222 Then Revceive2
IF EMPST 333 Then Revceive3
But sometimes values also Come as 000111 or 00111 or 0111 same for Others.
I have used follwong condition in Receiver Determination.
IDOC/E1EDK01/EMPST u2248 *111
But it working fime for leading zero.
But if values come as 8111 or 78111 it is also routing message to Revceive1.
same for others.
Can you plz suggest solution?

you can use enhanced receiver determination ,, where you can specify your logic in the mapping
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/EnhancedReceiverDeterminationinSAP+XI
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SI/StepbyStepguidetoExplainEnhancedReceiver+Determination
in the UDF you can write the logic to remove leading zeros if required:
