User defined fields in task list

What is the significance of adding user defined fields in task list operation?

Dear Maniaba
We have used user fields in task list to capture quantity in terms of nos & its weight for each operation. This we used as a work around to capture the repair jobs quantity & tonnage. While mapping repair of a particular machine with out any reference to material(that is we have not created them as serialised material as in the case of refurbishment) we have created task list for its repair and user wanted to capture the quantity of repair (say how many & also its weight) so we have maintained the tonnage per 1 no in these fields. later when order is being created user selects the task list & changes the quantity field then we have developed report where we calculate the total tonnage of that job & also no of items repaired.

Use of user define field in Task list

Hi,
Please give the solution for the strange requirement of the client as:
My client wants to define the operation for preventive maintenace in two parts like
check temperature : 45 deg celcius.
check temperature should be like operation and rest what he has to check to be defined in other field i.e. both should not be together.
so i find the solution as user defined fields in the task list where i can define this second parameter.
But the problem is that system is not proposing this second field in the preventive order, only operation field is proposed.
Please suggest some solution, how can this requirement can be mapped.

Both operations of the inspection lot will need to be completed at some point. They are in the same lot so they belong together. Both operations should be available to the user. (Unless you used workcenters and security to limit users to specific workcenters).
Once set up, it will only be available to new inspection lots. Few things in SAP are retroactive.

User defined fields in SC with searchhelp ?

is it possible to link a searchhelp to user defined fields in a shoppincart ?
I have already defined 2 fields in ZINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF which I can see and edit when I create a shoppincart, but for 1 field I would like to add a searchhelp which connects to the backend for retrieval of possible values. is this possible ?
kind regards
arthur de smidt

Hi Arthur,
Yes, this is possible
Follow the below text in note 672960 User-defined fields 2
===
Search results
You have the option to see user-defined fields in the list of search
results. To specify them, use the following structures depending on the
document type:
Doc.type Set type Structure name
       SC HEADER INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_HDR_CSF_SC
       SC ITEM INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_ITM_CSF_SC
       PO HEADER INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_HDR_CSF_PO
       PO ITEM INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_ITM_CSF_PO
       QUOT HEADER INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_HDR_CSF_QUT
       CONF HEADER INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_HDR_CSF_CNF
       INV HEADER INCL_EEW_PD_SEARCH_HDR_CSF_INV
Search criteria
You can also use user-defined fields as search criteria. To do this, you
have to set fields XINPUT and XDISPLAY to 'X' in table ET_FIELDS for the
fields you want to use in BADI BBP_CUF_BADI_2 in method MODIFY_SCREEN.
The so
The fields defined this way are displayed if you choose the 'Extended
search' link.

Modifying/Updating User Defined Field in a Scheduled Task

I've written a notification task to send an e-mail to a manager who has a contract employee with a contract that is about to expire.
Once we isolate a user who has a contract about to expire, we send a notification to the manager. The date that the notification is sent out should be stored in the USR table in a user-defined field, "USR_UDF_LASTSENT."
Updating this USR_UDF_LASTSENT field is where I'm having difficulty.
I've tried using the UserManager in a couple of ways. Suppose I've isolated a single user using SearchCriteria and the UserManager and have a single User object called "currentUser." I want to store a Date object in the user defined field "USR_UDF_LASTSENT". Date today = new Date();
I've tried: currentUser.setAttribute("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today); //This will run without error, but when I check the DB there is no change to the attribute.
With a defined instance of UserManager userManager, I've tried: userManager.modify("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today, currentUser); //This errored out with this error - oracle.iam.identity.exception.NoSuchUserException: IAM-3054135:No user found for the criteria USR_UDF_LASTSENT-9/24/13 2:58 PM.:USR_UDF_LASTSENT:9/24/13 2:58 PM. It looks like it's doing a search rather than a modification.
I've also tried using the entity manager in the following way:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
But it returns with this error: Failed: oracle.iam.platform.entitymgr.UnknownAttributeException: User : [USR_UDF_LASTSENT]
Is my entityType, "User" inappropriate in this case? What should be used here?
How can I Set or Update this user defined field from a scheduled task?

Thanks guys. I did go to Identity System Administration console and chose 'Export' from under "System Managment" which I believe Kevin may have been hinting at. I got an xml export of the AttributeDefinitions for our user defined fields. In this file, there was a header for the attribute I was looking for:
<AttributeDefinition repo-type="API" name="LastSent" subtype="User Metadata">
<multiValued>
<backendName>usr_udf_lastsent</backendName>
I put the string "LastSent" in place of USR_UDF_LASTSENT in the EntityManager version of my attempt at this task. I believe this is what Kevin and delhi were getting at.
This didn't work:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
But this did:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("LastSent", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
I wonder if currentUser.setAttribute("LastSent", today); would work... Hmm.

USER DEFINED FIELD ERROR

Hi,
The following is the setup.
1. I defined a DBAT - ORACLE CONNECTOR and was able to provision users to it.
2. Then I defined an user defined field in OIM i.e.
2.1 added in the User defined field list in Users form - branch
2.2 Added the entry with proper tags in formmetadata.xml
2.3 And also updated it in the xlWebAdmin_en_US.properties file
3. Restarted the server.
4. And in the DBAT provisioning process added a new task, attached a process task adapter in integration.
4.1 in Adapter variable mapping
Adapter return value
Map to - Process Data
Qualifier - DEFAULT_BRANCH ( I think target attribute name)
4.2 input value
Map to - user definition
qualifier - branch
5. Added the USR_UDF_BRANCH CODE , Update DEFAULT_BRANCH to the the lookup usr process triggers.
When an end user modifies from the account profile, it only reflects in the process form and not in the target table
It gives the following error and also an error for email notification which i have not configured. it is using OOTB user profile edit process.

The other usecase is - when xelsysadm logs into idm console and updates the attribute on the user form, it updates the process form and the target table column also.
Please help me...

You need to give permission to update the process form to any users who would be the source of the change. So if joe schmoe is updating the user, they need permission to update the process form for any user they update.

User-defined fields in cost calculation

Hi, I'm working with process order in customer service process.
I would like to make a cost precalculation based on a user-defined field.
To let you know.
I created a new user-defined field.
I affected to it a new parameter ID so that this user-defined field value can be used in formulas.
I created a new formula with my parameter ID.
This is allowed for costs.
Now in my work center I defined these data for costing
price for pre calculation is defined for IN9020 and cost center.
Now in my service order I fill the required field.
I would have thought that according to formula, SAP would use this value (6 PC through the formula) to calculate costs.
This is not the case.
Did anybody already use this?
Regards
Olivier

User defined fields in Crystal layout

Hi All,
I want to add user defined field values in crystal layout for Sales order, but its not listed in RDR1 tables there but it's available in SAP query manager view. How can i get that in Crystal reports. please suggest on this.

You can then remove the key and the fields in the database will keep their correct definitions rather than varchar(max) which is causing the initial problems.
Adding extra keys may uause performance issues if you leave them there for a large table.
I have also had issues of varchar(max) fields causing database connection issues when running the reports in 8.81 PL07.

Issue while deleting user defined field in oim 11.1.1.3

All,
Made a mistake while creating user defined field called "Profile for" (loing to OIM -> advanced -> configuration -> User configuration). We are trying to delete it. It appears to get deleted from user attributes screen. But when we run LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation Task we get the following error below:
oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ProcessLDAPReconDataException: oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ReconEventCreationException: Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Profile for - LDAPUser object does not exists for resource object
Is any thing else need to be deleted adn cleaned up?
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

How do i check what resource object the recon task is running against. here is what i found so far.
I cannot find LDAPUser resource object when i query Resource Management -> Resource Objects in design console. Same thing with Manage Resource and search (here i only find Xellerate User, Xellerate Organiztion, USERS_GTC, and Installation) in OIM advanced administration menu.
The LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation job itself has the following parameters (batch size, last change number, OIM employee type, OIM User organization name, OIM user type)
I also decompiled LDAPUserChangesReconTask and it is looking for LDAPUser metadata from MDS directly.

Ceartion of User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES

Hi Experts,
I want to create User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.But while creating the UDF from User Defined Field-Management unable to find the table for it.Write now My Client are using SAP B1 2007 Ptach-08.Is there any way out to create user defined field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.
Plz help me out on this issue.
with regards,
Pankaj K and Kamlesh N

Pankaj,
When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

Want to add a prepopulated User defined field in create user form

Hi,
I have an entity adapter which will perform a pre-insert check on the user group of the user logged in to the oim.
If the logged in user belongs to a group say "IT ADMIN", another validation check will be imposed on the create user action performed by him.
If not from "IT ADMIN" group then create user action will be handled normally.
Now the catch is, how would I determine the group name of the user logged in from the adapter code I have written?
I decided to keep an User defined field "Created by" in the create user form which will be non-editable and auto-prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user. This way I will be able to map the variable field from the User definition drop down list while mapping the adapter variables.
May you please guide me how I can achieve this?
Would highly appreciate suggestion/inputs.

Thanks for all your replies!
However I am still in dark.
I tried to retrieve the groupname using tcUSerOperationsIntf. But iit tries to retrieve the group name of the user getting created.
Please note, the group name I want is not of the user yet to get created, but that of the user creating it i.e., the logged in user.
My requirement is to have this created_by field in the create user form already prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user.
So that I can put a check based on this field value in the netity adapter.
If the group is IT ADMIN then proceed with the validation.
Else no validation required.
In short, I want to know,how can I auto-prepopulate a UDF in Create USer form?

Hai
Follow the bellow steps for creating User Defined Field Exit
Step by step procedure for creating Field Exits
There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
Step 3: Create Field Exit
Step 4: Create Function Module
Step 5: Code Function Module
Step 6: Activate Function Module
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
Step 1: Determine Data Element
- Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
- An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
Go the appropriate screen.
Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
Press F1 for field-level help.
Click on the Technical info pushbutton (or press F9) on the help dialog box.
On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
- The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
- You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
- From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
Step 3: Create Field Exit
- From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
- Enter the data element name and click the Continue pushbutton.
- Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data elements field exit.
Step 4: Create Function Module
- You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the Continue pushbutton.
- In the Function module field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
- You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
- The first function module for a data elements field exit must be created without an identifier.
- To create the function module, click on the Create pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press F5.
- After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing Enter, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
- Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
Step 5: Code Function Module
- From the function modules attributes screen, click on the Source code pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
- Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
- Remember that field exits function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
- You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
Step 6: Activate Function Module
- After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
- Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
- At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
- You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
- When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
- At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
- Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
- This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
- To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the Assign prog./screen pushbutton.
- In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
- In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the Fld. Exit field.
- If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
- If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
- The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
- Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
- After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to Active and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers

OIM user defined field in process form

I am trying to create a user defined field (UDF) in a process form. The UDF would be a drop down list of values for the status field.
I've tried to do this by going to the Administration list, and double clicking on User Defined Field Definition. Then selecting the Form Designer. I can add a column but I cannot add values to the drop down. I know I'm probably doing this wrong.
How do I add a UDF drop down and its values to a process form?
Thanks!

1. Create lookup table for the drop down contents.
2.In the process form--->go to the properties tab-->select the User defined filed name-->add property--->property Name drop down list -->select lookup code-->in the property value-->provide the lookup table name-->save

User defined fields via DI-API

I want to read user defined fields using the DI-API.
The following code works but lists only UDFs defined for articles:
SAPbobsCOM.Items item =
(SAPbobsCOM.Items) GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems);
int count = item.UserFields.Fields.Count;
MessageBox.Show("count == "+anzahl.ToString(), "OK");
for(int i=0; i<count; i++){
MessageBox.Show("index == "+i.ToString(), "OK");
MessageBox.Show("name == "+item.UserFields.Fields.Item(i).Name, "OK");
If I try to list all UDFs defined in the system using the oUserFields object I get an exception when I assign the business object:
try{
SAPbobsCOM.UserFields ufd = (SAPbobsCOM.UserFields)
GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields); // exception
int count = ufd.Fields.Count;
catch(System.Exception ex){
MessageBox.Show("ex.ToString(), "OK");
The exception says something like
InvalidCastException: COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' can not casted into
interface type SAPbobsCOM.UserFields
Thank you for help,

Hi Vítor,
thank you for the hint to UserFieldsMD - now the access works.
You wanted to know what I am trying to do - let me explain the background even it is a bit complicated:
I have to access a certain UDF defined for articles.
To access this UDF I can't use a fixed index like e.g. '5' in
item.UserFields.Fields.Item(5).Value
because this index is 5 only on my local machine - it could be a different index on the target machine.
I solved this in writing some sql-code to access table CUFD and to find the index of this UDF in CUFD.FieldID.
But sometimes there is a problem when there are UDFs deleted from the database. It is possible that there are 'holes' between the FieldId of UDFs of one object, e.g.
Initial entries in CUFD (Table, FieldId, Name => code to access field):
OITM 0 'myUDF1'   ==> item.UserFields.Fields.Item(0).Value
OITM 1 'myUDF2'   ==> item.UserFields.Fields.Item(1).Value
OITM 2 'myUDF3'   ==> item.UserFields.Fields.Item(2).Value
After deletion of 'myUDF2':
OITM 0 'myUDF1'
OITM 2 'myUDF3'
Now the access to 'myUDF2' with item.UserFields.Fields.Item(2).Value fails!
You have to use index '1' in .Item(index) to access 'myUDF2' because this UDF is now the second UDF in the item object (zero based).
After I realized this I didn't use the sql-code to get FieldID any longer and searched with a loop all existing indices and compared them with the name of my special UDF, e.g. (this code works as expected):
public int getUDFIndex(string udfName){
index = -1;
for(int i=0; i<item.UserFields.Fields.Count; i++{
    if(item.UserFields.Fields.Item(i).Name == udfName){
      index = i;
      break;
return index;
Now I tried to make this method more general to find UDFs in any object - not only in item objects.
This is the background I wanted to access SAPbobsCOM.UserFields for.
The problem is that UserFieldsMD has no method like Item(index) as I used it in my example.
Do you have an idea to solve the problem with the 'holes' between FieldId in the UFD-table CUFD?

User Defined Fields/data items

How can I add user defined fields on runtime in a pre-defined data blocks wiht the user defined attributes of data type, length and format masks.
Ofcouse I should have those fields defined in DB first.
Thanks for any help

I have a similar need.
I have a DB table that stores a list of questions and data types/sizes/usages of the answers required by the user of the form.
In a multi-record database block, I currently list the questions, and supply a Text Item to capture the user's answers, and then provide validation code to check for the proper data type & number of characters.
I would like to be able to use the data type/size/usage information that is stored with each question to create, at runtime, an appropriate item (numeric text item max length 3, or character drop-down list box, or character text item with an LOV, etc.) for each question record. In other words, one record could have a drop-down list box, while another record could have a numeric text item.
I think that I can create separate fields for each type of item, and then enable/disable the fields when required, but this solution is less elegant than the programmatic solution that I desire.
Is there a way to do this programmatically in Oracle Forms 6.0.5.0.2 for Windows, or with an OCX, or some other add-in? We do not have Oracle Applications in this group. Is there a way to get "FlexField" without having Oracle Applications?
I agree that this is a normal requirement these days as administrator-type users (as opposed to data-entry end-users) of applications want to be able to dynamically customize the app for their usage.
Oracle needs to address this issue by creating the ability in Forms/Reports to create customizable apps.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
