Attribute Value Length

Hi,
I tried to restrict length of attribute by using {6}. But some how it allow me to update value of attribute with 10 characters. Is their a way i can restrict ldap attribute value to fixed lenght. I i try to add more then defined length it will not allow.
Thanks,
Naren

There is no way to limit an attribute value length in Directory Server, other than writing a custom plugin that will intercept ADD and Modify operations.
The {x} length indication in the Syntax notation of an attribute description (in cn=schema) per X.500 specification is just an indication of the minimal MAXIMUM size that compliant products must support.
Sun Directory Server has a single (configurable) limit which is the size of the LDAP requests (nsslapd-maxbersize).

What is the default value length for attribute?

I have found that there is no limit for the value length about the attribute directorystring.
Is it right?
Another question is:
I created an attribute with the "multi-valued".
How many values can i add into the same entry?
Thank u very much.

Correct. By default, there is no limit for the value length. However, it is possible to limit the max length for a given attribute type by specifying the max length in curly bracket in the schema definition e.g.
attributetype ( 2.5.4.41 NAME 'name'
EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{32768} )
The value {32768} indicates the maximum length of the string and is optional.
There is no limit in the number of attribute value too (as long as you have enough memory and disk to process it) . However, keep in mind that most directory servers limit the length of the LDAP PDUs, so you might have to change these settings if you want to create or search for very big entries.

Oracle XML DOM parser - attribute values are not printing on the screen ??

Select XML Node by a specific attribute value

I am newbie for LifeCyle.
This might be an easy question, but it really got me here.
I am trying bind xml data into a Drop-Down List. The databinding is working fine, but I would like to have more specific node selected from the xml file by using a attribute value.
for example Code in AS 3.0
root.node.(@id=="1").subNode
How could i do the same thing in LifeCycle Designer 8.0
Thank you in advance!!!

there's no native method for this, maybe you should create some functions for this. just like
private function setAttribute(node:XML, name:String, value:String, index:int = -1):void
    var attrs:XMLList = node.attributes().copy(),
        l:int = attrs.length();
    if(index == -1 || index > l - 1)
        node.@[name] = value;
    else
        delete node.@*;
        var idx:int = 0;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < l + 1; i++)
            if(i == index)
                node.@[name] = value;
            else
                var attr:XML = attrs[idx];
                node.@[attr.name()] = attr.toString();
                idx++;
and use it like this:
setAttribute(myNode, "otherAttribute", "abc", 0);

Assignment on Attribute Values

Hello,
I have a requirement where I have Material Description field of type text where i have to autopopulate values which is combination of all the attribute values assigned to classification of that material.
For Eg.
Material No: 111
Material Description:Bricks,20cm,4cm
Classifiication: Refactory Material
Short Name : Bricks
Length: 20 cm
Thickness: 4 cm
In the above example Short Name,Length,Thickness are the attributes linked to classification Refactory Material.
And Material Description is concatenation of Attribute Values whcih need to be autopopulated.
In MDM If we need to use attribuite values we have to create branch assignment which makes it static that is we have to write one branch assignment for each class.We have 100 classification as such so not finding it practical to write 100 branch assignment for each class.
Is there any other workaround solution to autopopulate decsription field with combination of ATTRIBUTE VALUES.
Thanks in Advance

Neethu Joy

Hi Neethu Joy,
You can use the Function RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS, which allows you to load Attribute or text in the load of a Master Data Atributtes or in a transactional load.

The PDF describes how to use it with Master Data Attribute
call function 'RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS'
exporting
i_iobjnm = '0D_SOLD_TO'
i_tabclass = 'M'
tables
i_t_table = custattr
In your case you should use i_tabclass = 'T' (for texts) and the table i_t_table should be the IDs of Material, and the concatenation of the atributes as text (be sure, Mediu, large or short text).
Thats one solution, other solucion could be, create a custom extractor in RSO2 using the table of the Master Data Atribute, and in the Trasnfromation or Transfer Rule (depending the version that you use) you should concatenate the values with a routine mapping.

Thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an object is required. These include:
Calling the instance method of a null object.
Accessing or modifying the field of a null object.
Taking the length of null as if it were an array.
Accessing or modifying the slots of null as if it were an array.
Throwing null as if it were a Throwable value.
You know what line it happens on, so you know which of these cases applies. So you know that variable "element" is null at that point. How could it come to be null?

Here is attribute identifier operator from FB Help:
@ attribute identifier Operator
Usage myXML.@attributeName
Identifies attributes of an XML or XMLList object. For
example, myXML.@id identifies attributes named id for the myXML XML
object. You can also use the following syntax to access attributes:
myXML.attribute("id"), myXML["@id"], and myXML.@["id"]. The syntax
myXML.@id is recommended. To return an XMLList object of all
attribute names, use @*. To return an attribute with a name that
matches an ActionScript reserved word, use the attribute() method
instead of the @ operator.
Operands attributeName:* — The name of the attribute.
Example
How to use examples
The first example shows how to use the @ (at sign) operator
to identify an attribute of an element:
var myXML:XML =
<item id = "42">
<catalogName>Presta tube</catalogName>
<price>3.99</price>
</item>;
trace(myXML.@id); // 42The next example returns all attribute
names:
var xml:XML =<example id='123' color='blue'/>
var xml2:XMLList = xml.@*;
trace(xml2 is XMLList); // true
trace(xml2.length()); // 2
for (var i:int = 0; i < xml2.length(); i++)
trace(typeof(xml2
)); // xml
trace(xml2.nodeKind()); // attribute
trace(xml2
.name()); // id and color
} The next example returns an attribute with a name that
matches a reserved word in ActionScript. You cannot use the syntax
xml.@class (since class is a reserved word in ActionScript). You
need to use the syntax xml.attribute("class"):
var xml:XML = <example class='123'/>
trace(xml.attribute("class"));

Passing attribute value in session variable

Hi All
I need to store one field value from my SIM form as a session variable and pass them to the next page along with my session, using some jscript stuff or else. Does this make sense?
If it is possible or anyone have any prior experience please reply.
Thanks in advance

We have tested a code-snippet that 'gets' attribute-values from the session:
<invoke name='getAttribute'>
    <invoke name='getHttpSession'>
        <ref>:display.state</ref>
    </invoke>
    <s>attribute_name</s>
</invoke>You can try 'setAttribute' in the similar way.

Not getting all the attributes value from Trusted Recon in eventhandler

Hi,
I am not getting the values of all the attributes in hashmap from Trusted recon in eventhandler.
Following is the hashmap value I am getting :
Parameter Hashmap value is {re_key=1869, Email=[email protected], Role=Full-Time, act_key=22, User Login=TUser43, Xellerate Type=End-User, Last Name=User43, First Name=Test}
Please let me know how to get all the attributes value in eventhandler. I need to take some decisions based on these attributes.
Thanks

You should be getting all the values in the recon event.
To get the current user states for all the records in the bulk event use this:
Identity[] currentUserStates = (Identity[]) eventDataHashMap.get("CURRENT_USER");
Now when you are looping through your bulkParametersp[], you can use the same get from the currentUserStates:
Identity currentUser = null;
currentUser = currentUserStates[counter];
Now if the attribute is not in your hashmap, you can use:
currentUserState.getAttributes().get(attribute)

How to get attribute value from standard page ?

Hi,
How to get attribute value from standard page ?
String str = (String)vo.getCurrentRow().getAttrbute("RunId");
But this value is returning a null value ....
Can anyone help me to get this attribute value which is actually having a actual value .

getCurrentRow() would always return null if no setCurrentRow() is used.
Please check the page design and understand how many rows of VO are there. You can also use the following to get the row:
vo.reset();
vo.next();

How to get attribute value from an object inside an object in Xpress

Does anyone know how to get an attribute value from an object in Xpress in a workflow? I have an object structured as follows:
<ResourceInfo accountId='mj628' tempId='3483372b787ce7dd:-5d99a0c5:130cb238483:-3600'>
<ObjectRef type='Resource' name='Google Apps'/>
</ResourceInfo>
I need if possible to get the name='Google Apps', which is inside the ObjectRef, so I guess its an attribute value of an object inside an object.

If the ResourceInfo object is accessible in a variable, i.e. named "myResInfo", you just have to check the Java API and call the relevant method:
<invoke name='getResourceName'>
<ref>myResInfo</ref>
</invoke>

Attributes and attribute values for a Product

Hi all
Is there any table or FM from where I can get a list of all the attributes and the attribute values linked to a particular product?
I got tables which link product with Prod Category, Prod Category with Set types and so on.
Could anyoe please provide me an FM which will give the attribute and its values for a particular product?
Please help!!
Regards
Debolina

Attributes created under s settype will be under the table with the name of that particular settype itself i.e Table name and the settype name are the same.
The other part of your question of where to find the list of all settypes and their corresposing attributes, you can make use of COMM_PR_FRG_REL.

How can I access the Attribute Values from the Search Region

Hi all,
I have a table which contains Company id, department id, and PositonId. For a particular Company and Department there may be multiple records.
I have to pupulate a table which contains the position and other details that comes under a particular Department and Position based on the selection in the Three comboBoxes.
Also I have to populate a select many Shuttle to add new postions and records under a particular Department.
I created a query panel *(Search Region)* for the serch and a table to display the data. That is working fine.
Now the issue is I am using a view criteria to populate the shuttle with two bind variables ie, DepartmentId and CompanyId.
If the serach will return a resuktant set in the table it will also pupulate the correct records, otherwise ie, if the if the serch result is empty the corresponding iterator and the attribute is setting as null.
SO I want to access the attribute values from the Search Region itsef to populate the shuttle.
I don't know how can I access the data from the Search Region.
Please Help.
Regards,
Ranjith

you could access the parameters entered in search region by the user as follows:
You can get handle to the value entered by the user using queryListener method in af:query.
You can intercept the values entered as described
public void onQueryList(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
// The generated QueryListener replaced by this method
//#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}
QueryDescriptor qdes = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
//get the name of the QueryCriteria
System.out.println("NAME "+qdes.getName());
List<Criterion> searchList = qdes.getConjunctionCriterion().getCriterionList();
for ( Criterion c : searchList) {
if (c instanceof AttributeCriterion ) {
AttributeCriterion a = (AttributeCriterion) c;
a.getValues();
for ( Object o : a.getValues()){
