About Setting - User Defined Fields

Hi everyone:
Well let me introduce a little of what i've been doing, at first i had this addon running just to satisfy some clients requirements, but now the requirements are different from one to another so i need to build an standard of it, for that do you know where or which is the table that saves the information contained on the form Settings- User Defined Fields? (for an specific form) where i found how the categories (CUDC) are settled to the _User fields of every form etc.
hope anyone knows about this.
thanks a lot
Gabriela

Hi
Look at table CUFD and UFD1 for the info you are looking for.
Hope this helps

User Table Key set up in User defined field management

Dear Expert,
what is use of User Table Key set up in User defined field management in SAP B1.
Thanks.
Sridharan.R
Edited by: Sridharan.R on Oct 4, 2011 8:26 AM

Hi,
Once a UDF is created and a value is entered in it, the same cannot be retrieved in any of the layouts and reports unless a Key is generated for that UDF. By assigning a Key to that UDF, the same UDF can be used in Crystal Reports or any other Reporting tool to extract its values from SAP. These reporting tools searches the Uniqueness of the UDF Values with this Keys only.
For eg.: When you develop a report and select a table from which you need the fields to be shown in the layout. In that, the only fields whose keys are generated are only available to use in the report.
Hope its clear to you.

SBO crashes on changing user defined field setting for a form

Hi,
when i try to change the user defined field settings(Tools->User-Defined Fields->Settings) for a form, say Sales order form, on clicking on OK button SBO crashes displaying runtime error messagebox.
This happens only when my addon is running.
Anyone encounter this behavior?
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi Barend,
I have put in the filters.The form 38(user-defined fields settings form) is not included in the filters.So it should not get any events. I get the following error

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.

Prevent closure of user defined field forms

Hi.
I need to prevent the closure of a user defined fields form while the parent form is opened. I can trap the et_FORM_UNLOAD before event but seems is too late to prevent the closure. Have anyone some idea about it?
Ciao. Nicola

Hi Martella,
You need to do two things to achieve this.
1. Make sure that when parent form is opened, the user defined field form is always opened at that same time.
you can do that as follows
If pVal.FormTypeEx = [Parent form type] And pVal.EventType = et_FORM_ACTIVATE Then
   Set oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm(-Val(pVal.FormTypeEx), pVal.FormTypeCount)
   If oForm Is Nothing Then
        If applic.Menus.Item("6913").Enabled = True And applic.Menus.Item("6913").Checked = False Then
           applic.Menus.Item("6913").Activate
        End If
   End If
End If
2. Disable the close button(X) on the user defined field form as follows:
If pVal.FormTypeEx = [User defined form type] And pVal.EventType = et_FORM_LOAD And pVal.Before_Action = False Then
     Set oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm(pVal.FormTypeEx, pVal.FormTypeCount)
     Set oItem = oForm.Items.Item("4") ' Item 4 is close button
      oItem.Enabled = False
End if
Hope this helps.
Satish.

Unique User-Defined Field

Gurus,
I have a User-Defined Field and I want the values in this field to be unique.
Is there a way to set this up? I only found how to make the field required and visible, but didnt find anything about how to make it unique.
Thnaks,
Adriano.

Martin,
Thanks for answering but let me clarify one point.
The value will be entered by the user, he will paste the value into this field and it is supposed to be unique. I would like to validate it.
If the value already exist for another identity I stop the user from creating an identity on OIM.
I wondered if i had a better choice then writing an adapter (java) to search for this value in the OIM.
Please let me know if the adapter is my only choice for now.
Thanks again,
Adriano!

User defined field values doesnot show up in summary tab

Hi,
I have created my own stylesheet to display some of my user defined field values (associated with organization address book entry type) in the summary tab of the addressbook entry. But Groupwise 8.0 client FAILS to display any of the user defined field values in the summary tab FOR ONLY ORGANIZATION ADDRESSBOOK ENTRY types. NOTE: These organization addressbook entries are created using the C++ Groupwise object API. But the Advanced tab of these organization addressbook entry shows those user defined fields with values in it.
Also Groupwise 8.0 Client is able to display the user defined field values in the summary tab for the PERSON ADDRESSBOOK ENTRY types, that are created using the Groupwise Object API. Also when I create a Organization addressbook entry using the Groupwise Client (NEW ORGANIZATION) and fill in the user defined field values using the Advanced tab or that addressbook entry, the summary tab displays those user defined field values.
So there could be some problem in setting the user defined field value for the Organization address book entry using the Object API or it could be Groupwise 8.0 Client issue in displaying the user defined field values ONLY FOR ORGANIZATION ADDRESS BOOK ENTRY, WHICH ARE CREATED USING THE OBJECT API. I also tried to see the underlying XML data in the summary tab and that XML data is missing the USERDEFINEDFIELDS and CATEGORIES tag for the organization address book entry.
I would like to know, if there is any need for special handling only for Organization addressbook entry in Groupwise 8.0 API. Any thoughts or help is really appreciated.

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea?? Think I have the same issue. Except, when I log in the client (ver. 802) then all the info is displayed. But when the user logs in on the same client and the same pc, he sees the xml info except the office address.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Grtz,
Joost Brenters

User-defined field assignment in Contact object

Good Day
Experts:
I guess this might apply to all SAP Business Objects. Specifically, I am working with the oContact object. A User-defined field has been added to the OCLG table. I need to populate the field with the current logged on User. I see that I can do the following with the intellisense but I am not sure where to go from here.
vContact.UserFields.Fields.Item
I tried but I get a message "Expression is a value and therefor cannot be the target of an assigment:
vContact.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_Creator") = (GetUserCodeSess(g_B1Connection.Company.UserName))
It feels like I should be able to set the User-defined variable through the object but I don't think I am doing it correctly.
Any helpful hints?
Thanks,
Ed

Hi Robert,
I think the only supported way is to give full rights to the users and block changing field in the Item Master Data form through your addon.
A non supported way is to use a query to update the item master fields

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.

I would like to find out how to add a user defined field into OUBI from a Customer Care & Billing source system. If anyone could list the steps involved or point me toward a source of documentation that sets out the steps involved it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Tim

Is there anyone out there who has had experience using OUBI with CC&B?

AIST0002-User Exit - Validation of user defined field

I have implemented the enhancement aist0002. I added a user defined field in a user defined subcreen and added it to the leasing tabstrip. I would like to validate this field against a another field in sap's leasing subscreen. In the pai of the user defined subsrceen the field of the other subscreen does not get filled. Is there a way to access the field of the other subscreen on the leasing tabstrip from the pai module of the user defined subscreen?
Thank you
Tom

Thank you for your response but I am not sure where the import occurs?
This is the pai of the user subscreen 9000 for AS01.
form edit_input .
data: itab type lfza.
if anlu-zzempfk is not initial.
    select * from lfza into itab
            where empfk = anlu-zzempfk and
                  lifnr = anla-leafi.
    endselect.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      set cursor field 'ANLU-ZZEMPFK'.
      message e007(zvalid).
    endif.
endif.
endform.
Function exit EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 include zxaisu03
looks like this:
anlu = i_anlu.
anla = i_anla.
Data gets moved to anlu or anla if it was already built. They are empty when it is a create transaction(as01).
Function exit exit_saplaist_003. include zxaisu04
looks like this:
e_anlu = anlu.
After the subscreen is processed it exports the data to global variable.
The problem is the pai module for the user subscreen 9000, the field anla-leafi is not filled. This field is located in sap's subsceen 1403. It has data in the screen field. My assumption is that it would be accessible as global data that could be used by my user defined subscreen once I began the validation in the pai of subscreen 9000.
Could you provide more insight on how I would access the field from the other subscreen?

Creating a user-defined field in VL06

Dear all ,
Please guide me how to add few user defined fields in the output list of standard VL06 transaction code - (Delivery Monitor Report - WS_DELIVERY_MONITOR) - I have to add in the option of 'List Outbound deliveries' -
Pls revert.
Thanks in Advance.
P.G.R

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

Sreeni
