While creating Projects Using the API, get two errors: 'Customer name must be passed' and 'class category is invalid'

Hi
While trying to Create Projects using the API, I'm getting two types of errors -
The first is : 'API failed in one stage 1 Customer Name is a mandatory Quick Entry field. Value must be passed'
The second is : '
'API failed in one stage 1 Project: '<Project_Number>'
The class category is invalid.'
Both the messages are produced by our custom program. .. however I am not able to understand why the underlying errors occur.
The first error ( Customer Name is a mandatory quick entry field), is caused by Projects that are to be created from Project templates where it is configured with Quick Entry Customer Name required. We are passing Customer Site number ( Party Bill to site number and Party Ship to side number). The site numbers being passed are also set as 'Primary'. Yet they are failing.
For the second Error ( The Class Category is invalid), I rechecked multiple times, the Class categories for the Projects I am trying to create, with the Config in R12 and they are fine. Can't understand the reason for these two issues. Has anyone encountered such an issue ? If so how was it resolved?
Regards
Vivek

HI All
I resolved both the issues. In case there are others facing similar issues, following was the cause and resolution of my errors
1. Error 1: Customer Name is a Mandatory Quick Entry field. Value must be passed.
The cause was that the data loaded into our custom staging table was not in the right fields. This was because the data file values and the CTL were not in sync.
Resolution:
Corrected the data file to be in Sync with the structure defined in the CTL and this loaded it successfully
2. Error 2: The class category is invalid.
The cause of this error was that in the Projects Template (used to create the project from), the Quick Entry setup had a Class Category set as required and I was not passing a value ( a class code value) for that Class Category.
Hope this helps somebody else
Cheers

Hi Kesava,
I notice that in the package you used the application user_name=CHUNDUK calls the API pa_project_pub.create_project.
I wonder if you used chunduk as database user to execute the package Or you used APPS to execute the package?
The APi document states that it is a requirement to create a db username as the same name with the application username.
I have been running the problem to execute API 's delete project and try to figure what could be my problem.
TIA

Error while creating IViews using collaboration API

Hi
I have created one Dynpage portal component, in that i would like to utilize collaboration API.
I am keep on getting errors like "<b>The compilation unit directly references the missing type ...."</b>"
import com.sapportals.htmlb.page.DynPage;
import com.sapportals.htmlb.page.PageException;
import com.sapportals.portal.htmlb.page.PageProcessorComponent;
import com.sap.ip.collaboration.room.api.IRooms;

I have included the following jar files:

and also i have included com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared in portal.xml as servicesreference
Experts can you please help in the above problem
I am sure u will get reward points.
Thanks in Advance

HI,
You have to add the following jars apart from the jars you have mentioned
1. kmc.util.core_api.jar
2. umapi.jar
To find jar files
==================
Download and install the JAR Finder. how to is mentioned in this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2951">Weblog</a>. see what jar is required by copying the com.sap.ip.BaseException from the error "compilation unit references................." and put the "BaseException" in the jar finder and search. from the given options select the correct jar "com.sap.ip.BaseException" right click and add to the project. You can add all the jars required by this method.
Portalapp.xml
==============
<application-config>
    <property name="SharingReference" value="com.sap.portal.htmlb"/>
    <property name="ServicesReference" value="com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared"/>
</application-config>
HI,
use the BaseException etc the errors you get in NWDS to search for the jar. paste the BaseException and search in jarfinder.

Create a customer code using the First letter of a customer name and the last 4 digits of a phone number

I am trying to create a form where one the customer has input their name and phone number it should grab the first letter of the customer's name and then the last 4 digits of the phone number.
I am not very good at coding, and have VERY VERY limited background in coding. I understand a little (the basics pretty much).
I am thinking i am not using the right expression to get what i want. Below is the statement I have write. This is just to find the first letter of the name, have an idea on how to get the phone number but i was trying the use the "left" and "right" functions but they wouldn't work. More specifically the left.
form1.#subform[0].CustCode::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
str = CustName;
var a = str.substr(0, 1);
any help would be greatly appreciated.
If more information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you switch your language to FormCalc you can use the Left and Right functions, e.g.
Concat(Left(Name,1) , Right(Phone,4))

If you have a support contract with Orcale you can find out hoe to fix this error by checking out Knowledge Article 1038072.1 How to troubleshoot "atg.workflow.WorkflowException: The inner project was not created. Check that your project workflow has been initialized by the workflow engine."
The article says you should:
1.
delete from epub_wf_server_id
delete from epub_coll_workflow
delete from epub_workflow_info
restart server and retest
2. If problem exists check that you have configured the Workflow Process Editor Server correctly.
The problem is that probably the workflow has not been not been initialized correctly by the Workflow Editor Server.

Pa_Project_Pub.create_project, The class category is invalid.

ERROR:
The class category is invalid.
while creating project using API Pa_Project_Pub.create_project.
If anyone knows what the problem is, please reply.
This seems more of a project template problem, as the same API works allright in other instances, could anyone tell me how to go about fixing this.

Getting Error while creating Project through API:PA_PROJECT_PUB.CREATE_PROJ

Hi Gurus,
I'm getting an error while creating a New project.
My code looks like this:
APPS.PA_PROJECT_PUB.CREATE_PROJECT
(p_api_version_number => l_object_version_number --IN Parameter
,p_commit => l_commit --IN Parameter
,p_init_msg_list => l_init_msg_list --IN Parameter
,p_msg_count => l_msg_count --OUT Parameter
,p_msg_data => l_msg_data --OUT Parameter
,p_return_status => l_return_status --OUT Parameter
,p_workflow_started => l_workflow_started --OUT Parameter
,p_pm_product_code => g_pm_product_code --IN Parameter
,p_op_validate_flag => l_op_validate_flag --IN Parameter
,p_project_in => g_project_in --IN Parameter
,p_project_out => g_project_out --OUT Parameter
,p_tasks_in => g_task_in --IN Parameter
,p_tasks_out => g_task_out --OUT Parameter
The out put params are: p_msg_count => 1
p_return_status => E
p_workflow_started => N
g_project_out.pa_project_id => 170000000000000000000
g_project_out.pa_project_number => ^
g_task_out_rec.pa_task_id => 170000000000000000000
End process record p_proj_insert => 1
Resetting the task count variable
when I checked the API code I found this:
PA_INTERFACE_UTILS_PUB.G_PROJECt_ID := null; --bug 2471668 ( not in the project context )
PA_PM_FUNCTION_SECURITY_PUB.check_function_security
(p_api_version_number => p_api_version_number,
p_responsibility_id => l_resp_id,
p_function_name => 'PA_PM_CREATE_PROJECT',
p_msg_count => l_msg_count,
p_msg_data => l_msg_data,
p_return_status => l_return_status,
p_function_allowed => l_function_allowed
. I think I am getting the error because of this.
Now, question.
Do I need to run the Create Project from a specific Responsibility?
because when I ran the underlined query, I fpound the final status as 'N'.
I'm a HR guy and PA is a new world for me. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Viky

You need to find any responsibility and userid that lets you create a project using the screen.
And then in your code, you need to set your context to that resp/userid.
Hope this helps

Getting error while creating subsite using custom template in sharepoint2013

Hi,
I am getting the following error while creating subsite using custom template in sharpoint2013. even publish features are enabled.
Please suggest me on this.
Thanks in advance.

You need to enable the PerformancePoint Service Site Collection Features(PPSMonDatasourceCtype)
on the target site collection. go to site action > site settings> site collections features > and enable it and now try again.

This gives me an Error No_DATA_FOUND. I went an debugged through the code, where in I found that
the following cursor query (in the API: "hr_assignment.update_assgn_context_value") is returning no values.
cursor csr_ass_data is
select ass_attribute_category
from per_all_assignments_f
where business_group_id = p_business_group_id
and person_id = p_person_id
and assignment_id = p_assignment_id
and effective_start_date = p_effective_start_date
and primary_flag = 'Y';
Also, I found out that an assignment_id is coming back after the call to the API "hr_assignment_internal.create_default_emp_asg" from within the API "hr_employee_api.create_employee".
Now, my question, why is the above cursor query giving me a no-data-found.
Is there any setup that I am missing like setting DFF or enabling a profile option etc.,
Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Vijay

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for the reply. But I caught the issue.
The issue is with the parameter "p_hire_date =>sysdate" and the code in the API hr_employee_api.create_employee.
What it does is, it captures the date that we pass "p_hire_date" into a local variable "l_hire_date" as follows:
l_hire_Date := TRIM(p_hire_date) and then passes the l_hire_date to the API "hr_assignment_internal.create_default_emp_asg". The API works fine and also returns us an assignment ID. Everything is fine till now.
The problem begins with the call to the API "hr_assignment.update_assgn_context_value", where in the p_hire_date is passed, instead of the l_hire_date and hence the NO_DATA_FOUND comes up.
What Happens ?
1.The date that I passed has the time component in it.
2.The assignment gets created with a date that has no time component (due to TRIM).
3The query has a where condition on the date with the time component.
Hence, it returns no rows.
Solution: Pass the p_hire_Date as trunc(sysdate) than simply sysdate.
Thanks,
Vijay

Creating LabVIEW module adapter TestStand Steps using the API without loading module prototype???

Is it possible to programatically create a TestStand step (using the API), that calls a LabVIEW module, without loading the prototype of the module to get a reference to the Module Parameters.
I want to specify a VI Pathname, but I dont want to use that pathname to load the prototype. I want to programatically specify the name, type, representation etc. of each of the controls and indicators.
My reason for attempting this is that I only want the VIs called by the steps to exist on the target hardware not on the numerous development machines running my application.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Unfortunatly it is not possible to do what you want within Test Stand but I am not sure why it is necessary, I think I am understanding your application incorrectly. The only time you will need to load the prototype is if you are creating the step but if you are creating the step you will need the VI that the step calls so that VI will need to be present on the system. If you are not calling the step then you shouldn't need to load the VI prototype. If this is how you program funtions it may be a problem with your architecture but if not please could you correct my misunderstanding so that I can go about finding a suitable solution.

Creating a mapping using the API

Hi Brian, I am curious about this use case - what's the reason you are looking to do it using the API? You can create several objects using the API and the most typical use case we have observed is where mapping developers create a pattern or what we call as a "template" - which is a mapping with various properties parameterized. For example you can create a mapping with the filter parameterized, or define a very generic mapping with source, target and the field map between those all parameterized. Once you do that, you can create a "task" for this mapping (known as Mapping Configuration Task) - that can be done using our UI or using our REST API. If you choose the latter, you can pass on parameter values as part of the API request. Suggest you to take a look at our new Developer Portal, and specifically at the sections Templates and REST API there. Feel free to post any further questions here. If you sign up to the developer program there, you will get much more direct help.https://community.informatica.com/community/technology_partner_network Amol

I was wondering about creating a mapping using the API. It clearly states in the Dev guide that this is possible, but when I perform a get mapping request, I don't see all the information given for a certain object. For example, I don't see an expression in the mapping object (although one exists when I view the object in Cloud). Has anyone else done this? Is it easy to create objects via the API? Thanks!

While creating Projects Using the API, get two errors: 'Customer name must be passed' and 'class category is invalid'
