Add a formula using RDC

Post Author: giorgiop
CA Forum: General
Hi, I have a problem with RDC and Crystal XI. If I install the Crystal Report complete this code works fine:
l_ole_crx_report.FormulaFields.add("checkselection",my_string)
but if I deploy runtime using merge modules from business object site I get an error such as "Null object reference". Notice that it seems that only Add function doesn't work because the following works fine:
l_ole_crx_report.FormulaFields.Item(ll_y).text = my_string
Thanks in advance

Hello kk,
try to start simple:
when giving the formula
Difference (4, 5)
Does it show the value 1?
If yes, try this (assuming your grid is called grid1):
Difference(grid1.column[A], grid1.column[B])
Has this column also a row with a formula?
Does this function work on other reports?
This should work. Otherwise give more details on the error and the columns.

Philip Hulsebosch.

How to add a formula column in a report

Hi
I have made a report based on a query.
There are 3 columns in the query and all the 3 are displayed.
Now I want to add a new column (fomula column) to the report.
I want to write a query inside the formula column. To execute the query col1, col2 and col3 values are required in the formula column.
Could you please tell me how to add a formula column in the report and how to pass database column value to inside the formula column
regards

Here is how you would create a formula column:
Open data model of the report.
Formula column button is on the left side of the tool palette.
Click on that button.
Now click in the query group where you want to place the formula column.
You would see a new field something like CF_1. That is the formula column.
Double click on the field CF_1. It will open property inspector.
You would see, Datatype of the formula column is Number. Change this as per your requirement.
Double click on PL/SQL Formula property. It would open up a editor. Here you can write the code.
And now to access the data model column here, you can use : and column name. i.e. :col1 or :col2, etc
And remember you have to return the value back to the formula column. Like this: RETURN(some value).
You can also take a help from here:

WAD: add new formula / structure element to report run by user

Hi,
I know that there is a possibility to add a formula or "structure element" to a WAD report that is being run by a user (user opens WAD report and can add a formula). We are using WAD 7. Unfortunately I don't know where this function is hidden in WAD (I am new to WAD....).
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Make sure you have the following web item and property enabled in your WAD template.
~ Context Menu Item > Local Formula
Once this is enabled, you can run the WAD report, right click and select Calculations and Translations > Formula > Create New formula
This will populate teh formula builder.
Hope this helps.

How to add a formula in a BOM

Hi experts
I want to add a formula in the BOM.
Example
Case - 1:
Header material : A - Base qty : 1000 L
Component B - 500 L (as such) x Purity - 80% --> 400L
Component C - 600 L
Case - 2:
Header material : A - Base qty : 1000 L
Component B - 500 L (as such) x Purity - 90% --> 450L
Component C - 550 L
My requirement is like this:
1. How to add purity in Component B
2. When I add purity of B, based on the calculated qty of B, requirement qty of C should change.
Please suggest the way.
Regards
Pradipta Sahoo

Dear Pradipta,
Formula's are used to create a variable size item with item category R.
In your case it seems it's something related to characteristics where you can give various values say
100%, 80% etc.
Further this characteristics can be assigned to a class type.
Moreover you have mentioned based on the purity % of B, Component C 's quantity should change.

Add Local Formula in Query

Hi,
I am trying to use "Add Local Formula" in my query to add three columns. However there is a row that calculates percentage using the rows above. Using the "Add Local Formula" its adding all the percentage amounts (505050=150) instead of calculating it (using the new figures in the column). How can I fix this?
Thanks

Hello,
Try changing the property of keyfigure..."Calculate Result as"

Re: VS hangs whenever I try to add a Formula Field

My environment is Vista with VS 2008 Pro with CR and I'm just learning VB and CR so I'm not very proficient yet.
The situation I am trying to correct is that VS hangs whenever I try to add a Formula Field to a report. Microsoft has directed me to get setup help from BusinessObjects.
I've tried to install SP1 and SP2 but get the following BusinessObjects XI 3.0 Error on each:
"The upgrade cannot be install by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade."
I hope this is the right forum to get this resolved. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm frustrated and falling behind because of this.

Hi;
Your post is not related to the one you posted to, so I branched it off to this new post.
See our [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] to learn about working in the Forums.
As for your issue, installing the Service Packs depends which version of Crystal Reports you are using. It sounds like you are probably using the version of Crystal Reports that comes with .NET 2008, which is version 10.5, is that correct?
If so, the service pack for that version is:

How to add classification view using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

Hi,
Please any one let me know how to add classification view using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to the material master.
Thanks,
shekar

We use this bapi on a regular basis as well as classification of materials. We have success doing this in 2 steps. First step is to save the material using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, second step is to save classification using BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE (this can be used for both create and change) Also look at Function Group CLBPA . there are several bapi's in that group dealing with object classification, including the one I mentioned..

How to change pricing formula using bapi_salesorder_change

Hi,
I have a customer portal web application developed in .Net from which I will be getting different values which are changes related to a particular sales order item in SAP. One among these values is the pricing formula used with the sales order item. I am using bapi_salesorder_change to update all the values other than the pricing formula. My input to the bapi is the formula id. I am not sure about the field which I have to use in the bapi structures to update the same. Also I don't even know whether I can use the same bapi to do the required task.
Requesting help ....
Thanks,
Siva

Sir,
Thank you for your immediate response.
Actually we are integrating SAP with the customer portal web application. The requirement is in such a way that the customer portal provides the option to change the sale order details both at the header level as well as item level. The fields include Order qty,Delivery date,Partner details,Payment terms,Terms of sale, Pricing formula etc. The front end consists of a Pricing formula drop down which consists of the formula descriptions (for eg: ZFA1015-LAST LME W/DAY OF CONT. MOTH) with its corresponding ID(ID is nothing but ZFA1015). At the SAP side my RFC should pick it up and update it for the given item. The process is like if we go to VA02 we have an option called MAINTAIN FORMULA from where we can change the formula used with an item. There the formula id is obtained from the formula repository. In here the we already have the Formula ID given by the front end.
Hope you are clear wtith the requirement..
Requesting help..
Thanks,
Siva

Is it possible to add a user using the RESTful Web Services SDK

Others have asked before about user management features in the RESTful Web Services SDK. However I can find no answers or links which provide an answer to the question 'Is it possible to add a user using the BI 4.1 SP2 RESTful Web Services SDK'?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve
Unfortunately, not possible. The BI RESTful can only get "stuff" that is already there. I suppose this would fall under some sort of "Object Creation" API and that is not there. Yet. Rumors abound, but nothing firm. Just as a BTW.; the Business Intelligence platform RESTful Web Service Developer Guide 4.1 is here:

Is it possible to add a property using variable in variable name?

I want to query for a list of virtual machines within a folder, then create a menu of the host names using forms. Since the list of machines is subject to change, I want to build the list each time the script is run, rather than build off a static
list.
For each virtual machine I need to create the list of variables below:
$hostnameX = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.checkbox
$hostnameX.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20)
$hostnameX.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,20)
$hostnameX.Checked = $true
$hostnameX.Text = "Type"
$hostnameX.Controls.Add($hostnameX)
The location and size values need to be incremented but I think I can figure that part out.
I can use New-Variable to generate the initial variable. But I receive errors using the same method to try to create a new property for the variable.
$VMS = Get-Cluster MyCLUS | Get-vApp "My vApp" | Get-VM | Select Name,PowerState | Sort Name
For ($i=0; $i -lt ($VMS.count); $i++)
$VMS[$i].Name
$VMGUEST = "$($VMS[$i].Name)" -replace("-","")
New-Variable "CB$VMGUEST" "New-Object System.Windows.Forms.checkbox"
New-Variable "CB$VMGUEST.Location" "New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20)"
In the above, $CBVMGUEST1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.checkbox which is what I want, but $CBVMGUEST1.Location is not set.
Is there way to add a property using a variable in the variable name? Or any other suggestions on how to tackle this issue?

Hi,
maybe another approach is a bit easier.
Use a hash-array like
$CB = @{}
$CB[$VMGUEST] = New-Object System.Windows.Forms....
$CB[$VMGUEST].Location = New-Object System.Drawing....
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jens Kalski
That's the correct answer. Anytime you find yourself wanting to create variables named "Widget1", "Widget2", "Widget3", etc... it's a pretty clear indication that what you really need is a collection object of some sort. That might be an array,
a hashtable, or any other data structure for holding other objects, depending on your specific needs.

Add multiple people using Javascript Client Object Model

I am trying to add multiple people to a SP column of type Person/Group i.e. people picker. I am able
to add one successfully using their userId, but HAVE no clue how to do that for multiple people. Here is the code for one user:
function UserDrop(e, toElement, listGuid, columnName) {
//EcmaScript Client Object Model
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getById(listGuid);
var item = list.getItemById(elementId);
//columnName is of type person/group and I am adding user //whose userId is 7
item.set_item(columnName, 7);
item.update();
// asynchronous call
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
function () { toElement.innerHTML = userLinkHtml; },
function () {alert ("Error")}
return false;
This works great and I can add user whose userId is 7, however I want to add multiple people like let's say users of user Ids 7 and 8.
Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
There is a thread on this one but that's from .net COM which could accessed here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/5183e87c-ee1d-4594-9492-0dfdf6616cce

Hi ,
Can somebody let me know how the same(assigning the array values to lookup value field) can be achieved with multi-select lookup value. SP.FieldLookUpValue do not have any such methods like fromUser. Please help. Please find my code block below
clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
if (this.clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
var webSite = clientContext.get_web();
oList = webSite.get_lists().getByTitle("Add New User");
$.urlParam = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
return results[1] || 0;
var itemid = parseInt($.urlParam('ID'));
var item = oList.getItemById(itemid);
var users = new Array();
users.push(SP.FieldLookupValue.set_lookupId(1));
users.push(SP.FieldLookupValue.set_lookupId(2));
item.set_item('Responsibility', users);
item.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.success), Function.createDelegate(this, this.failed));
also i cant use managed client object model.. so pls let me know how to achieve the same using javascript client object model

Add Sales Opportunity using DI API

Hello Friends,
    I am trying to add Sales Opportunity using DI API.I want to set Potential amount using DI API So I set MaxLocalTotal but while compiling code its give error.Its Read only.
If I add without potential amount than its gives me error "Potetial Amout is missing"
What should I do??
My Code is

Please help me to solved this problem.

Hi folks,
I'm facing the same problem. This issue concerns DI API of SAP Business One 8.8 (my version is SP 00 PL 11) in particular.
I've used the 2007 version so far and even though the MaxLocalTotal field in Sales Opportunity object is read-only, by writing the same value in the field with the same name on the last Opportunity Line I obtain the right value in the header.
In this version of the API, that field seems to be mandatory instead.
Does anyone have any suggestion? Thank you in advance.
