ABAP: How to read attribute of characteristic

Hello Folks.
Imagine, I have a Characteristic called ABC, this Char in turns hat two attributes Z1 and Z2. While processing a ABAP-Class-based Planning Function, I want to read the value of these two attributes Z1 and Z2. How to achive this?
Is there any Function Module to read the attribute values for a give characteristic? Or even better a ABAP-Class?!
Thanks in advance

see this document..for sample code..
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/biw/p-r/performance%20optimization%20in%20bw%20update%20rules.doc
this code is used in BW update rules..
i think u can use similar code for ur requirement too..
cheers,

How to add attribute to characteristic already in production system

HI Guru's ,
How to add a attribute to characteristic which already exist in production system.
thanks in advance

Hi Venkat,
We don't make any design changes in production box. Usually you make changes in Development box then transport that object with request to Quality box. You test the changed object there, if no inconsistancies found you will transport the object to Production box with same request.
In development box, if you want to add the new attribute to the characterstic, you need to delete the complete data in the characterstic.
Thanks

How to read attributes of selected row in table?

hi,
can anyone give me a example, how to get value of currently selected row of af:table,in backingbeans? assuming using jdv10g & single selection in table.
thanks & regards

in the table selectionlistener
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindingsForDCB();
        RichTable table=table1;
        DCIteratorBinding outListIter = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("yourtableIterator");
        RowKeySet rowSet = table.getSelectedRowKeys();
        Iterator rowKeySetIter = rowSet.iterator();
        while (rowKeySetIter.hasNext()) {
                List l = (List) rowKeySetIter.next();
                Key key = (Key)l.get(0);
                outListIter.setCurrentRowWithKey(key.toStringFormat(true));
                Row r = outListIter.getCurrentRow();
      }

How to read attributes in to datagrid?

hi
i have one doubt
in the datagrid we have header text but if we create dynamic datagrid
and for (eg)
<root>
<data>
<time datas="Hello">
<john second="Karthikkkkkkkkk"></john>
</time>
</data>
</root>
if we want o make "datas" as header text what can we do
and below datas we need "second" as child
any idea
karthik.k

You can use labelFunction to get to datas.
If you need children, you might need to use Tree or AdvancedDataGrid

BOL: How to read the value of an attribut

Hiii experts,
I'm new in ABAP programming.
My intention is to read the value of a context attribut.
This attribut ist not in form of a struct attribut. To read an struct attribut, I know to get the value, for example:
value ?= me->typed_context->BP_ADDR->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
CHECK value IS BOUND.
value->get_property_as_value(
    EXPORTING
      iv_attr_name = 'CITY'
    IMPORTING
      ev_result    = value_city).
But my problem is, that I have an attribut, which you can not find in the BOL browser, because it is not in form of a struct.
Can anybody help me, how to read the value of this kind of attributs.
Thank you very much in advance fpr your help,
John

Hii Clemens,
first of all, my concern deals with WebUI.
I expect to read the value of an attribut. I know how to read the value of an attribut, which can be found with the same description in the bol browser, as you know you can read it with:
value ?= me->typed_context->BP_ADDR->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
CHECK value IS BOUND.
value->get_property_as_value(
    EXPORTING
      iv_attr_name = 'CITY'
    IMPORTING
      ev_result    = value_city).
Now, I have an attribut of an context node which has a different name as in bol browser. If I want to read the value with the code above I get an error message. Thatswhy I referenced a collection of the context node to read this attribut.
Can anybody say me how the value of the attribut, can I use the methode get_property ?
greetings,
J

What is S.M.A.R.T. and how to read S.M.A.R.T. attributes

Read the bottom for updated information/amendments
Hi everyone,
S.M.A.R.T. is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology.
[size=15]1. S.M.A.R.T. info websites[/size]
OK, now we all know what S.M.A.R.T. stands for. For more details about S.M.A.R.T., here is a comprehensive non-technical explanation about S.M.A.R.T. by pcguide.com. Maxtor has published a white paper on S.M.A.R.T. too. And this is from Seagate. Anyhow, I am not going to discuss whether S.M.A.R.T will protect your harddisk from failure, etc etc here. Let us focus more on S.M.A.R.T. itself.
[size=15]2. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tools[/size]
S.M.A.R.T. data is stored as a tabulated data somewhere in the harddisk as registers. The tools below support reading these registers value from S.M.A.R.T. enabled harddisk.
1. SpeedFan *sign-up is required for download, but it's FREE
2. Active SMART
3. Sisoftware SANDRA 2002.6.8.97 SP1 , older version doesn't support
[size=15]3. S.M.A.R.T. Tabulated Information[/size]
Here is a screenshot captured with SpeedFan.
Let us go through the screenshot. As can be seen, there are 5 columns - Attribute, Value, Worst, Warn and Raw.
Attribute
describes the meaning of the values. As mentioned above, the SMART data is stored as a tabulated data as registers. Each attribute represents one register ID. eg Raw Read Error Rate is register ID 01, register ID 03 is Spin-up Time, etc.
Note that the register IDs are not displayed by SpeedFan, but are displayed by other SANDRA and Active SMART. I have no idea how many S.M.A.R.T. attributes are there, Active SMART stated it can detect more than 35 attributes!
However, some attributes are manufacturer specific. So possibly some attribute names as shown in these SMART tools might not represent the true meaning of the values too!!
Value
is the current relative value of the attribute read from the registers.
Worst
is the worst value ever achieved.
Warn
is the critical threshold value of the attribute. If the Value has reached and OVER this threshold value, with very high probability the harddisk is in trouble. If SMART is enabled in the BIOS, SMART will alert user in the POST screen, with some manufacturer specific error code. You may need to refer to your manufacturer then.
Note : Value, Worst and Warn are all relative values, such as percentage, not actual count. I have no idea how to calculate these values. This is the very S.M.A.R.T. algorithm, isn't it? ?(
Raw
is in fact, the most understandable represented value here! It represents the actual count of the attribute. SpeedFan displays this raw value as hexadecimal numbers. Such as Power On Hours Count is "AA8", which is 2728 in decimal numbers, meaning that the harddisk has been power on for 2728 hours!! There are some Raws represent average rate, such as "CRC Error Rate" etc.
[size=15]4. S.M.A.R.T. Attributes In Detail[/size]
Hopefully by now, you have the basic idea how to read the tabulated data. I will try my best to go through the attributes one-by-one, which after that shall make you understand more about S.M.A.R.T. and of course, starts to appreciate it.
Raw Read Error Rate represents the condition of the physical disk, based on raw (physical) read errors, and physical surface defects.
Spin Up Time is the time taken for the hdd to spin-up. more info
Start/Stop Count is the number of counts (cycles) the hdd start/stop. more info
Reallocated Sector Count - the number of sectors have been reallocated. Surface scan and found bad sector will increase this count. Now this drive has 7 bad sectors already!
Seek Error Rate - how often the drive failed to locate the data (seeking)
Power On Hours Count - the number of hours you have powered on the HDD.
Spin Retry Count - how many time your drive need to attempt to get the drive platter spinning. If this value is more than 1, your drive is seriously in very bad condition!
Calibration Retry Count - represents the number of time your drive perform calibration retry. I am not sure if low-level format would increase this value.
Power Cycle CountThe number of time the hdd has been powered on. On and Off = 1 cycle.
Read Soft Error Rate - should be Soft Read Error Rate. Similar to Raw Read Error Rate but this one depends on logical level, such as error occured in the hdd buffer, etc.
Temperature - The drive temperature, Forget the relative values, read from the Raw value -- "2D" in this example, which is 45C. But my SpeedFan displayed 47C at that time!! SpeedFan seems to produce some +-2C error from actual reading once in a while. :P
Hardware ECC Recovered is the number of counts ECC correction is performed on the data.
Reallocated Event Count - similar to Reallocated Sector Count but this one is on the data.
Current Pending Sector - is the number of counts how many sectors are currently pending. But what is a pending sector?? ?( ?(
Offline Correctable - which is Off-line Scan Uncorrectable Sector Count. Again, what is off-line scan?
UltraATA CRC Error Rate - which is in fact, CRC Error Count instead of rate. As shown, there have been "3C3", which is 883 errors occured already!!!
There are more S.M.A.R.T. attributes, such as
Thoroughput Performance - again, this relative value is surely got from some wierd algorithm again.
Seek Time Performance - some algorithm has been used to calculate this performance value.
Power Off Retract and Load Cycle Count are IBM HDD specific features -- unload the head off the platters when power off. More info on Head Load/unload cycle.
[size=15]5. SpeedFan S.M.A.R.T. Fitness and Performance bars[/size]
I should not comment on this too much because this is Almico's work. I am not sure how he calculate to define the "fitness" and "performance" though. It could probably based on mathematic relation between the current Values and the threshold Warns.
For most hdds, like Maxtor and Seagate's, out-of-the-box the fitness bar has already reaching half-way 50%. But for IBM hdd, the fitness bar is always around 100%. This is because IBM hdd has its threshold/Warn values set to unrealistically high until it's quite unreachable even after a long term use. While for other brand HDDs, the threshold values are more realistic. Thus, the fitness bar in particular, does not tell the true fitness of the HDD. Take it as a reference only. Please always refer back to the Raw values to determine the fitness.
[size=15]6. Conclusion : Judging HDD fitness by our own selves![/size]
Now we all know what the Attributes are, so roughly everyone will have the basic idea how to judge HDD health by our own selves depend on the attributes you're reading. S.M.A.R.T. itself however, define "fitness" and "performance" based on its own algorithm.
We can categorize the attributes into :
Error Related Attributes
"UltraATA CRC Error Rate", "Raw Read Error Rate", "Raw Soft Error Rate", "Hardware ECC Recovered Count", "Reallocated Sector Count", "Reallocated Event/Data Count", Offline Correctable"
-- tell how often are those errors occured. For the above example, this Maxtor harddisk should be RMA-ed for its high CRC Error Rate count.
Drive Fitness Attributes
Spin Up Time, Start/Stop Count, Seek Error Rate, Power On Hours Count, Spin Retry Count, Calibration Retry Count, Power Cycle Count, Power Off Retract Count, Load Cycle Count
-- check "spin retry count" and "Seek Error Rate", any value other than zero is really bad.
Other Attributes
I have no idea what they are for except Temperature.
As the conclusion, understanding S.M.A.R.T. attributes helps in knowing your HDD fitness by your own self, rather than waiting for the S.M.A.R.T. to alert you for severe error. That might be too late already. 8o
Thanks for reading.
Edited:
1. for better reading pleasure
2. added Conclusion
3. added explanations about SpeedFan SMART Fitness and Performance bar.

Well from my observation, whether SMART is disabled or enabled in the BIOS, SMART is always working within the HDD itself.
Basically SMART is acting like a blackbox, monitoring and tabulating HDD condition from time to time and its attributes only fully revealable by the manufacturers. SpeedFan's SMART status only displays partial information that is displayable. Some attributes are hidden, ~OR~ the attributes' locations are different from one HDD to another brand, such that some values don't correspond to the attribute meaning at all.
It is very doubtful to claim that enabling SMART in the BIOS will hog down the performance. Just like a transport bus (yeah real bus that fetch passenger :P ), with or without the black box installed can't help it if the driver wants to speeding. :P

so, my problem is I was unable to read the attribute of the tag book , that is "id".
can any one tell me how to read this "id" attribute.

hi,
U r retriving the elements by tag name.So it just chks the tag name ie.<book> & gives u array of elements.But u need retrive d attribute of <book> tag itself.
=Solution =====
Add one more statement ----> var[]= doc.getElementsByName("book");
Now u hav book elements as an array & can retrive id in for loop
for(var; var.length;var++)
doc.element[var].id.value

How to read context node/attribute data of diff UI component of same screen

Hi,
I am new to CRM and as well as BSP, Now the requirement is, at the time of Lead creation, when the end user enters customer code and sales area i need to fetch and display the customer group 1 value( VIP,KAM etc) based on the customer's sales area, ( these are sales area specific values).
but the problem is Customer code is in diff UI component and sales area data is in diff UI component .
1) customer code attribute is in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTPARTNERPROSPECT.
2) sales area fields are in the UI component BTORGSET, View BTORGSET\OrgSetData, Context node is BTORGSET.
3) I have created new field(customer type to display the customer group 1 value "VIP") in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTLEADH.
To display the value in the context node BTLEADH, i need to know the sales area data which is entered in BTORGSET.
Kindly let me know how to read the data which is in diff UI component of the same Lead creation screen.
i written following code in context node BTLEADH, atttribute New Zfield, in get method, but not able solve, please guide me.
DATA: LR_ENT TYPE REF TO CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY,
             LR_COL TYPE REF TO IF_BOL_ENTITY_COL.
LR_ENT ?= ME->TYPED_CONTEXT->BuilHeader->COLLECTION_WRAPPER->GET_CURRENT( ).
LR_COL = LR_ENT->GET_RELATED_ENTITIES( IV_RELATION_NAME = 'BuilSalesArrangementRel' ).
LR_ENT ?= LR_COL->GET_FIRST( ).
IF LR_ENT IS BOUND.
    LR_ENT->GET_PROPERTY_AS_VALUE( EXPORTING IV_ATTR_NAME = 'DIVISION' IMPORTING EV_RESULT = LV_DIVISION ).
ENDIF.
I'll appreciate if you can provide me some documents to refer.
awaiting for your responses.
Thanks

Hi Gangadhar,
I think i have not clearly explained my requirement, let me put it once again. My requirement is, I have to read two UI component data, validate and display some value in one new zfield which is in one of the UI components.
I need to display customer's sales area specific data like customer group 1 value in that new zfield. for that i need Customer code and as well as sales area data from the screen.
1) customer code attribute is in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTPARTNERPROSPECT.
2) sales area fields are in the UI component BTORGSET, View BTORGSET\OrgSetData, Context node is BTORGSET.
3) I have created new field(customer type to display the customer group 1 value "VIP") in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTLEADH.
As per my understanding, in the context node BTLEADH, GET_METHOD of atttribute New Zfield, i have to read customer code from UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTPARTNERPROSPECT and Sales area data from UI component BTORGSET, View BTORGSET\OrgSetData, Context node is BTORGSET based on the values, validate and display the data.
But as per your recent reply you are asking me to write the code in get_property_attribute---division. so i didnt understand.
Kindly clarify if i am wrong.
awaiting for your response.
Thanks

How to read the excel file using webdynpro abap?

Hi,
how to read and modify excel file using webdynpro abap?
Regards,
Pavani

For reading excel file follow the steps :
1. Use a File upload UI element and bind it with xstring.
2. Now your excel will be uploaded and stored in Xstring.
3. Convert Xstring to String data using FM 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'.
4. Now split the string at new line so as to make an internal table .
Ex . SPLIT l_string AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline INTO TABLE it_table.
here it_table is type table of string.
5.now loop at the internal table and separate the content of this table separated by tab.
Ex. SPLIT wa_table AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO TABLE it_new.
it_new type string_table.
6. For more info , refer this thread :

ABAP Code to Read Characteristic from Another DSO

Gurus and Experts,
Plain and simple, I need a piece of ABAP code that reads a characteristic value from a different DSO.
Here is the story. I have a data flow from DSO Delivery1 to DSO Delivery2. I need to write a code in the start routine of the transformation to read Sales_Doc_Type from DSO Sales1. The condition is, if Delivery1-Ref_Doc_Nr = Sales1-Sales_Nr then Delivery1-Sales_Doc_Type = Sales1_Sales_Doc_Type.
I am a beginner in SAP BI and know nothing about ABAP. But I do have experience in SQL and Java.
Any help or links or direction will be appriciated. Thanks in advance.
Herru

Hello,
I think there is a correction in your Ques. That there are two DSO Delivery1 and Sales1...... I Hope this is Ok.
Tables Required:---- Go To SE11 and *<DSO_NAME>00 You will get active table for your DSO. EG. /bic/Delivary100 and /bic/sales100
Logic In start Riutine:----
1. Define structure in Global Def. for Sales1 DSO.
2. Also Define Internal table in Global Def. (I hope you know the syntax)
3. now you will find that start writing code from below.
Inclue:------ Select Statement from Slaes1 DSO into itab for all entries in source package.
4. Loop source_package assigning <result_fields>.
read itab into wa where Sales1-Sales_Nr = <result_fields>-Ref_Doc_Nr.
<result_fields>-Sales_Doc_Type = wa-Sales1_Sales_Doc_Type.
endloop.
This logic will work..........
If still you are find it difficult then take some abaper help.

Ankit.

Hello Tao,
The parameter

may help you to access the pictures without any db-access.
The following two links may help you to understand the other possibilities as well.
The threads are covering BSP, but it should be useful for WebDynpro as well.
