BOR objects and committing to database

Hello experts
I've run into a bit of a problem with a BAPI I'm using to post changes to a cost center after an approval procedure has concluded. I'm on NW04, version 640 SP 16, with SAP_APPL SP11.
I'm calling the BAPI_COSTCENTER_CHANGEMULTIPLE to post the changes to a single cost center after an approval workflow. I read in other threads that this BAPI must be followed by either a BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT or a COMMIT WORK to make the changes, so I added them to the BOR method that called this BAPI. However the changes were still not being reflected. I created a Z function module that essentially calls this BAPI and then does both a BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT and a COMMIT WORK (probably overkill, but was testing).
When testing the Z function directly in SE37 there's no problem and the changes are reflected, but when I test the WF live the changes are not posted. I suspect and fear the problem might be that when calling from a BOR method no database commits are allowed or honored. Is this what happens? Are there any workarounds for this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
Juan Ramos

Hi Mike
D'oh!! I found the error, and it was so stupid I feel like kicking myself
Originally I was having problems because the BAPI was returning error code KS 134. I wrote an OSS to SAP and they recommended I not pass the parameters company code/currency/profit center to the BAPI. In my rush to comment those three parameters out of the BAPI call, I also commented out setting the cost center parameter! Once I uncommented the cost center initialization everything worked fine; I was even able to take out all those COMMITs I'd put in.
Thanks a lot for your help Mike! Points awarded.

BOR Object and ABAP Class

Hi,
Can anybody say when to use BOR object and Abap class in the task with an example.
Thanks,
Mugundhan

There is no any specific condition or rule that for this purpose you need to use BOR and Class , it depends on your requirement. not only the requirement but also the new techniques to make classes not just as simple way to create objects but when you use classes in the Workflows they are not simple classes but they are BUSINESS CLASSES which makes a lot of difference.

Create object and link to database in acrobat

i am using visual studio and creating a C# application in .net. i am looking to allow users to open a pdf document and then use a custome symbols library to trace out objects on the pdf. the object i would like to attach to a database to extract the data from. is this possible

Sorry, I don't understand what you want to do. Especially "trace out objects on the pdf" - what sort of objects and what do you mean by "trace out"?
Also note that Acrobat is absolutely not for use on a server.

BOR Objects and ABAP

Guys,
Not even sure if this is possible...
How do I find BOR calls in an ABAP program.
Example: BUS2088 or BUS2008 in program SAPLCOIH - for PM/CS orders).
PeteA

Hi Peter,
Specify your business object and the method of the BOR object in the BASIC data tab in PFTC transaction.
If you want to trigger the Workflow through and event then you will have to first link your event of the Business Object to the WorkFlow Task in Workflow Builder (TCODE PFTC) and then you can do the following :
Please refer the code below to for your information.
Data for workflow trigger
DATA: objtype LIKE swetypecou-objtype,
objkey LIKE sweinstcou-objkey,
event LIKE swetypecou-event,
event_container LIKE swcont OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
objtype = 'ZBUS1001'. "Material [sub object of BUS1001]
MOVE v_wfmatnr TO objkey. "V_WFMATNR is material number
event = 'CreatePLMMaterial'."Custom Event defined in
ZBUS1001 [Tcode SWO1]
REFRESH event_container.
*Following are the Event parameters required in the *Workflow
swc_set_element event_container 'Attachment' v_wfattachment.
swc_set_element event_container 'Material' v_wfmatnr.
swc_set_element event_container 'TisGroup' v_wftisgroup.
swc_set_element event_container 'SchDate' v_schdate.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = objtype
objkey = objkey
event = event
TABLES
event_container = event_container
EXCEPTIONS
objtype_not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

How to link bor object to Archive object

I would like to convert normal file to Archive file using ARCHIV_CREATE_DIALOG_META it is giving
error there is no link between bor object and Archive object .

Based on your other questions I assume you mean either in the workflow or in a method. First of all you should read the FAQ and the guidelines for the forums.
Converting the object from a subtype to its parent type in a method is achievable by using some of the macros. You can even make a generic solution for this (e.g. a function module).
Use SWC_GET_OBJECT_KEY to get the object key.
The attribute OjectType of your object is itself an object. It has an attribute Parent which references another object. The key of this object is the name of the object type.
Thus you have everything you need to create a new object reference with a type that is the parent object type of your current object; you have the key (which must be identical as this is a subtype) and the object type.

Version management in BOR object

Hi Gurus,
I have a custom BOR object and i am checking it from SWO1 transaction.But i am not able to do version management for the Z BOR object.Kindly provide the way to do the same.
Thanks and Regards
Sudipto Sinha

Go to se 38, put this object there , in the same screen click on utilities -> version -> generate version.

Activate custom BOR object.

I have created one BOR object and currently it is showing status Generated/Saved/Modeled in SWO1.
Kindly advise how to activate it.
Cheers,
Ashish

Transaction: SWO1
Display the ZBUS2202
Select menu Goto -> Basic Data
You see Object Type status like this.
Obj.type status generated Saved released
What is the status ?

ABAP Objects and table processing (with logical databases)

I have a report that is written right now using procedural abap and a logical database. The report is structured follows (high level):
start-of-selection.
get pernr.
perform get_it0001 using wtab.
perform get_it0002 using wtab.
perform get_it0003 using wtab.
append wtab to itab.
end-of-selection.
call function 'reuse_alv_grid_display'
 exporting
 i_structure_name = 'itabstructure'
 tables
 t_outtab = itab.
So basically I'm going through a bunch of personnel numbers, getting a few infotypes and outputting to ALV. I don't see where ABAP Objects is going to help me for this particular program.
Can somebody show me where OO ABAP would make this easier? Does it even make sense to use OO when you're processing with a logical database? (Not just PNP, but any logical database in general).
Thanks in advance.

Hello Lee
I assume that the routines GET_ITnnnn are written by yourself. For reading infotypes ABAP Objects provides us with same very helpful classes as shown below:
* define data
DATA:
 gif_employee type ref to if_pt_employee,
 go_employee type ref to cl_pt_employee,
 gt_infotypes TYPE tim_tmw_itlist_tab,
 go_control TYPE REF TO if_pt_td_control,
 go_data TYPE REF TO if_pt_td_base,
 go_pnnnn TYPE REF TO if_pt_td_itnnnn,
 gt_p0001 TYPE TIM_P0001_TAB,
 gt_p0002 TYPE TIM_P0002_TAB,
 gt_p0003 TYPE TIM_P0003_TAB.
start-of-selection.
GET pernr.
* Create employee instance
gif_employee = cl_pt_employee=>get_employee( pernr ).
go_employee ?= gif_employee.
* Get master infotypes (0001, 0002)
CALL METHOD go_employee->get_master_data
 EXPORTING
 im_begda = id_fromdate
 im_endda = id_todate
 IMPORTING
* EX_I0000 =
 EX_I0001 = gt_p0001
 EX_I0002 = gt_p0002
* EX_I0007 =
* EX_I0008 =
* Append all other required infotypes to itab
APPEND '0003' TO gt_infotypes.
CALL METHOD go_employee->get_infotypes
 EXPORTING
 i_itlist = gt_infotypes
 i_fromdate = id_fromdate " start date
 i_todate = id_todate " end date
* I_FILTER =
 i_noauthcheck = 'X'
 IMPORTING
 e_result = gt_infty_request
 e_retcd = gd_retcd.
* Please see documentation of parameter e_retcd...
LOOP AT gt_infty_request INTO go_control.
 go_data = go_control->data. " get data object
* Casting
 TRY.
 go_pnnnn ?= go_data.
 CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error.
 CONTINUE.
 ENDTRY.
* Convert infotype (semi-transparent -> transparent)
 CALL METHOD cl_hr_pnnnn_type_cast=>prelp_to_pnnnn
 EXPORTING
 prelp = lo_pnnnn->prelp
 IMPORTING
 pnnnn = gs_p0003.
 APPEND gs_p0027 TO gt_p0003.
ENDLOOP.
The class CL_PT_EMPLOYEE provides us already with very easy access to so-called master infotypes (000, 0001, 0002, 0007 and 0008). All other infotypes can be read using method GET_INFOTYPES.
Using these classes we have a very convenient and standardized way of accessing all kinds of infotypes.

Uwe

How to copy a database with all the objects and relationship but with no data

Hello Experts
I am here for your advise as usual, I want to create a copy of my current database from an existing one on SQL Server 2008r2 Standard Edition, here is what I need, I want all the objects including any relationship between the objects and I do
not need any data. I have some idea for using the general script in SSMS, but I still need you expertise advise please, thank you kindly for your help.
Regards

One option is to run BACKUP/RESTORE, once you have restored you run:
SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' + quotename(s.name) + '.' + quotename(o.name) +
   ' DISABLE TRIGGER ALL '
FROM   sys.schemas s
JOIN   sys.objects o ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE o.type = 'U'
AND EXISTS (SELECT *
   FROM   sys.triggers tr
   WHERE tr.parent_id = o.object_id)
Copy result and paste into a query window do to run. Next:
SELECT 'DELETE ' + quotename(s.name) + '.' + quotename(o.name)
FROM   sys.schemas s
JOIN   sys.objects o ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE o.type = 'U'
Run this result until you don't get any more errors.
Run the first query again, but change DISABLE to ENABLE.
This is more long-winding than scripting, particularly if you have lots of data. But you know that you will not make any changes whatsoever to the schema.
The scripting in SSMS generally does it right, I believe, but some items are not scripted by default. If you run BACKUP/RESTORE, you know that you get a faithful copy.
Of course, the best way is to keep your code under version control and take the version control system as your ultimate truth.

Passing Array of java objects to and from oracle database-Complete Example

Hi all ,
I am posting a working example of Passing Array of java objects to and from oracle database . I have struggled a lot to get it working and since finally its working , postinmg it here so that it coudl be helpful to the rest of the folks.
First thinsg first
i) Create a Java Value Object which you want to pass .
create or replace and compile java source named Person as
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Person implements SQLData
private String sql_type = "PERSON_T";
public int person_id;
public String person_name;
public Person () {}
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException { return sql_type; }
public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName) throws SQLException
sql_type = typeName;
person_id = stream.readInt();
person_name = stream.readString();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException
stream.writeInt (person_id);
stream.writeString (person_name);
ii) Once you created a Java class compile this class in sql plus. Just Copy paste and run it in SQL .
you should see a message called "Java created."
iii) Now create your object Types
CREATE TYPE person_t AS OBJECT
EXTERNAL NAME 'Person' LANGUAGE JAVA
USING SQLData (
person_id NUMBER(9) EXTERNAL NAME 'person_id',
person_name VARCHAR2(30) EXTERNAL NAME 'person_name'
iv) Now create a table of Objects
CREATE TYPE person_tab IS TABLE OF person_t;
v) Now create your procedure . Ensure that you create dummy table called "person_test" for loggiing values.
create or replace
procedure give_me_an_array( p_array in person_tab,p_arrayout out person_tab)
as
l_person_id Number;
l_person_name Varchar2(200);
l_person person_t;
l_p_arrayout person_tab;
errm Varchar2(2000);
begin
 l_p_arrayout := person_tab();
for i in 1 .. p_array.count
loop
 l_p_arrayout.extend;
 insert into person_test values(p_array(i).person_id, 'in Record '||p_array(i).person_name);
 l_person_id := p_array(i).person_id;
 l_person_name := p_array(i).person_name;
 l_person := person_t(null,null);
 l_person.person_id := l_person_id + 5;
 l_person.person_name := 'Out Record ' ||l_person_name ;
 l_p_arrayout(i) := l_person;
end loop;
p_arrayout := l_p_arrayout;
 l_person_id := p_arrayout.count;
for i in 1 .. p_arrayout.count
loop
insert into person_test values(l_person_id, p_arrayout(i).person_name);
end loop;
commit;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
 errm := SQLERRM;
 insert into person_test values(-1, errm);
 commit;
end;
vi) Now finally create your java class which will invoke the pl/sql procedure and get the updated value array and then display it on your screen>Alternatively you can also check the "person_test" tbale
import java.util.Date;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class ArrayDemo
public static void passArray() throws SQLException
Connection conn = getConnection();
ArrayDemo a = new ArrayDemo();
Person pn1 = new Person();
pn1.person_id = 1;
pn1.person_name = "SunilKumar";
Person pn2 = new Person();
pn2.person_id = 2;
pn2.person_name = "Superb";
Person pn3 = new Person();
pn3.person_id = 31;
pn3.person_name = "Outstanding";
Person[] P_arr = {pn1, pn2, pn3};
Person[] P_arr_out = new Person[3];
ArrayDescriptor descriptor =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor( "PERSON_TAB", conn );
ARRAY array_to_pass =
new ARRAY( descriptor, conn, P_arr);
OracleCallableStatement ps =
(OracleCallableStatement )conn.prepareCall
( "begin give_me_an_array(?,?); end;" );
ps.setARRAY( 1, array_to_pass );
 ps.registerOutParameter( 2, OracleTypes.ARRAY,"PERSON_TAB" );
 ps.execute();
 oracle.sql.ARRAY returnArray = (oracle.sql.ARRAY)ps.getArray(2);
Object[] personDetails = (Object[]) returnArray.getArray();
Person person_record = new Person();
for (int i = 0; i < personDetails.length; i++) {
 person_record = (Person)personDetails;
 System.out.println( "row " + i + " = '" + person_record.person_name +"'" );
 public static void main (String args[]){
 try
 ArrayDemo tfc = new ArrayDemo();
 tfc.passArray();
 catch(Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 public static Connection getConnection() {
 try
 Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
 return DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<HostNanem>>:1523:VIS",
 "username", "password");
 catch(Exception SQLe) {
 System.out.println("IN EXCEPTION BLOCK ");
 return null;
and thats it. you are done.
Hope it atleast helps people to get started. Comments are appreciated. I can be reached at ([email protected]) or [email protected]
Thanks

Hi Sunil,
I've a similar situation where I'm trying to insert Java objects in db using bulk insert. My issue is with performance for which I've created a new thread.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5270260&tstart=30
I ran into your code and looked into it. You've used the Person object array and directly passing it to the oracle.sql.ARRAY constructor. Just curios if this works, cos my understanding is that you need to create a oracle.sql.STRUCT out of ur java object collection and pass it to the ARRAY constructor. I tried ur way but got this runtime exception.
java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation: JavaBulkInsertNew$Option@10bbf9e
 at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
 at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:146)
 at oracle.jdbc.oracore.OracleTypeADT.toDatum(OracleTypeADT.java:239)
 at oracle.jdbc.oracore.OracleTypeADT.toDatumArray(OracleTypeADT.java:274)
 at oracle.jdbc.oracore.OracleTypeUPT.toDatumArray(OracleTypeUPT.java:115)
 at oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.toOracleArray(ArrayDescriptor.java:1314)
 at oracle.sql.ARRAY.<init>(ARRAY.java:152)
 at JavaBulkInsertNew.main(JavaBulkInsertNew.java:76)
Here's a code snippet I used :
Object optionVal[] = {optionArr[0]}; // optionArr[0] is an Option object which has three properties
oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor empArrayDescriptor = oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("TT_EMP_TEST",conn);
ARRAY empArray = new ARRAY(empArrayDescriptor,conn,optionVal);If you visit my thread, u'll see that I'm using STRUCT and then pass it to the ARRAY constructor, which works well, except for the performance issue.
I'll appreciate if you can provide some information.

Shamik

Import all users and their objects without doing full database import

Hi Guys,
I have a task to that involves Importing all existing users and their objects in production to the test database without doing a full database import - Please how do i do this?
Pls i need your help urgently.

. . importing table .........................
why only 18 rows?
if you have an suggestion, you are welcome, as I do not have any other idea...

Command to provide list of all objects and their scripts from database

Hi,
How do i get the list of all objects and their scripts/source from database?
I guess using dbms_metadata package or Toad tool we can achieve the above task
But i do not know the steps to get the objects and their scripts.
Im using oracle database 11g R2 11.2.0.2
Kindly ge me the advice
Thanks in Advance

Im using oracle database 11g R2 11.2.0.2If you want the all the metadata of whole database, then it is quiet difficult to get from DBMS_METADATA, as it is very complex because you need to gather for each object of each schema in whole database and to spool.
http://www.orafaq.com/node/57
I want to know, what is the use of entire database metadata, Certainly need of objects of metadata.
or if you want to whole database, then i suggest you go for export full backup and import as impdp sqlfile option,

Attaching BOR object to Z transaction

Hi All,
Can we attach a BOR object to a Z transaction. For example, if we have created a complete transaction in module pool, cn we send data to a BOR object from that module pool programming...or in simple words attachin a BOR object to a Z transaction???
Regards,
Sangvir Singh

Hi,
1) While you creating the BO attribute, it will ask for the option To refer Table (Virtual or Database Field).
2) In that select give your Table Name (Database Field) which you Custom Application referring.
3) You have to Assign the Key Field refer to that Table and attribute also you can assign like that.
4) Then once you execute the BO, it will ask for the Object Key, once you give it will bring those data and display.
5) And if you declare as Virtual attribute you can get the value at runtime and assign it to that attribute (it depends on your Requirement)

Insertion using objects and update using queries in a single unit of work

HI All,
I have a set of objects that i want to insert and then perform some update queries ( direct queries ) on the inserted data in the same transaction. but when i register the objects and execute the update SQL's on the same data in a same unit of work, the update statements are executed first and then the inserts are happening, I've also tried with child unit of work and parent unit of work but the result is the same.
Can any one suggest a way to do object insertion and sql updates in a single transaction, Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sai Krishna

The UnitOfWork is an abstraction for the physical database query. By default nothing is actually written into the database until the UnitOfWork commits. This means making updates to new objects involves modifying them in-memory and then the updated values will be included in the INSERT during commit.
If you are having difficulty finding the newly created objects you can enable the query conforming capabilities to have modified and new objects included in query comparisons without requiring them to first be written to the database.

How to store Connection object and call it from other programs.

Hi,
I am trying to connect to the database, store the connection object and use this connection object from other standalone java programs.
Can any one tell me how to do this? I've tried in the following way:
In the following program I am connecting to the database and saving the connection object in a variable.
public class GetKT2Connection {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String url = "jdbc:odbc:SQLDsn;
      String dbUser = "sa";
      String dbPwd = "sa";
      Connection kt2conn = Connection connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url, dbUser, dbPwd);
      if(kt2conn == null) {
         System.out.println("Database Connection Failure!");
      else {
         System.out.println("Connected to Database...");
     GetKTConnectionObj.storeKT2ConnectionObj(kt2conn);
} Here is the program to save connection object in a variable.
public class GetKTConnectionObj {
   static Connection kt2Connection = null;
   public static void storeKT2ConnectionObj(Connection conn) {
   kt2Connection = conn;
   public static Connection getKT2ConnectionObj() {
   try {
      return kt2Connection;
   catch(Exception e){
      System.out.println(e);
return null;
}Now from the following code I am trying to get the connection object that is stored. But this is throwing NullPointerException.
public class Metrics_Migration {
public static void main(String args[]) {
     try {
    java.sql.Connection connection_1 =   GetKTConnectionObj.getKT6ConnectionObj();
     catch(Exception e){
}

kt2Connection is null. You need to store it first, to make it not null. Otherwise it will stay null forever. And why on earth are you trying to do this THIS way?
If you are running the two applications separately, it wont work either.
