Busines Object Variant table

Hi Friends,
is there a business object for variant table, batch input or else in LSMW.
Thanks Joerg

Variant table can be mass maintain via CU60E.

Reading variant table

Hi guys,
I need to read a variant table data seems like CU60 transaction. Is there some BAPI or Function module to do it?
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

You can use something by name Object dependencies to read from your variant tables ( CU60 ) and Read data using Vraiant functions ( CU65 , 66 , 67 ) during object assignment ( CL20N or any Transactio n which calls CL20Ndynamically ) . Call the table using an action / procedure which can be used on the dependency . the dependency is further attached to the characteristics / characteristics value or to class itself . Look into this link for more http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/EN/92/58c5f4417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

How can I convert table object into table record format?

I need to write a store procedure to convert table object into table record. The stored procedure will have a table object IN and then pass the data into another stored procedure with a table record IN. Data passed in may contain more than one record in the table object. Is there any example I can take a look? Thanks.

I'm afraid it's a bit labourious but here's an example.
I think it's a good idea to work with SQL objects rather than PL/SQL nested tables.

Printing out results in case of object-relational table (Oracle)

I have made a table with this structure:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Boat AS OBJECT(
Name varchar2(30),
Ident number,
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Type_boats AS TABLE OF Boat;
CREATE TABLE HOUSE(
Name varchar2(40),
MB Type_boats)
NESTED TABLE MB store as P_Boat;
INSERT INTO House VALUES ('Name',Type_boats(Boat('Boat1', 1)));
I am using java to print out all the results by calling a procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE package House_boats
PROCEDURE add(everything works here)
PROCEDURE results_view;
END House_boats;
CREATE OR REPLACE Package.body House_boats AS
PROCEDURE add(everything works here) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
Name House_boats.add(...)
PROCEDURE results_view AS LANGUAGE JAVA
Name House_boats.resuts_view();
END House_boats;
However, I am not able to get Results.view working in case of object-relation table. This is how I do it in the situation of relational table.
CALL House_boats.results_view();
House_boats.java file which is loaded using LOADJAVA:
import java.sql.*;
import java io.*;
public class House_boats {
public static void results_view ()
   throws SQLException
   { String sql =
   "SELECT * from House";
   try { Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:default:connection:");
   PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
   ResultSet rset = pstmt.executeQuery();
printResults(rset);
rset.close();
pstmt.close();
   catch (SQLException e) {System.err.println(e.getMessage());
static void printResults (ResultSet rset)
   throws SQLException { String buffer = "";
   try { ResultSetMetaData meta = rset.getMetaData();
   int cols = meta.getColumnCount(), rows = 0;
   for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++)
   int size = meta.getPrecision(i);
   String label = meta.getColumnLabel(i);
   if (label.length() > size) size = label.length();
   while (label.length() < size) label += " ";
buffer = buffer + label + " "; }
buffer = buffer + "\n";
   while (rset.next()) {
rows++;
   for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++) {
   int size = meta.getPrecision(i);
   String label = meta.getColumnLabel(i);
   String value = rset.getString(i);
   if (label.length() > size) size = label.length();
   while (value.length() < size) value += " ";
buffer = buffer + value + " "; }
buffer = buffer + "\n";   }
   if (rows == 0) buffer = "No data found!\n";
   System.out.println(buffer); }
   catch (SQLException e) {System.err.println(e.getMessage());} }

There are several things wrong with your code and methodology
1. The code you posted won't even compile because there are several syntax issues.
2. You are trying to use/test Java in the database BEFORE you get the code working outside the DB
3. Your code is not using collections in JDBC properly
I suggest that you use a different, proven approach to developing Java code for use in the DB
1. Use SIMPLE examples and then build on them. In this case that means don't add collections to the example until ALL other aspects of the app work properly.
2. Create and test the Java code OUTSIDE of the database. It is MUCH easier to work outside the database and there are many more tools to help you (e.g. NetBeans, debuggers, DBMS_OUTPUT windows, etc). Trying to debug Java code after you have already loaded it into the DB is too difficult. I'm not aware of anyone, even at the expert level, that develops that way.
3. When using complex functionality like collections first read the Oracle documentation (JDBC Developer Guide and Java Developer's Guide). Those docs have examples that are known to work.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31225/chfive.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e16548/oraarr.htm#sthref583
The main issue with your example is #3 above; you are not using collections properly:
String value = rset.getString(i);
A collection is NOT a string so why would you expect that to work for a nested table?
A collection needs to be treated like a collection. You can even treat the collection as a separate result set. Create your code outside the database and use the debugger in NetBeans (or other) on this replacement code for your 'printResults' method:
static void printResults (ResultSet rset) throws SQLException {
    try {
       ResultSetMetaData meta = rset.getMetaData();
       while (rset.next()) {
           ResultSet rs = rset.getArray(2).getResultSet();
           rs.next();
           String ndx = rs.getString(1);
           Struct struct = (Struct) rs.getObject(2);
           System.out.println(struct.getSQLTypeName());
           Object [] oa = struct.getAttributes();
           for (int j = 0; j < oa.length; j++) {
              System.out.println(oa[j]);
    } catch (SQLException e) {
       System.err.println(e.getMessage());
That code ONLY deals with column 2 which is the nested table. It gets that collection as a new resultset ('rs'). Then it gets the contents of that nested table as an array of objects and prints out the attributes of those objects so you can see them.
Step through the above code in a debugger so you can SEE what is happening. NetBeans also lets you enter expressions such as 'rs' in an evaluation window so you can dynamically try the different methods to see what they do for you.
Until you get you code working outside the database don't even bother trying to load it into the DB and create a Java stored procedure.
Since your current issue has nothing to do with this forum I suggest that you mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the JDBC forum if you need further help with this issue.
https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/java/database_connectivity
When you repost you can include a link to this current thread if you want. Once your Java code is actually working then try the Java Stored procedure examples in the Java Developer's Guide doc linked above.
At the point you have any issues that relate to Java stored procedures then you should post them in the SQL and PL/SQL forum

Key fields in variant tables.

Hi masters,
i would like to know the use of "key field" in variant tables.
according to definition:This indicator shows whether a characteristic is used as a key field for accessing tables. Key fields have the value "X". When the table is accessed, the values assigned to the key fields infer values for the other characteristics.
please give an example of its usage,
thanks regards
Rahul

Why are objects in tables removed when opening a document (created in pages 2009) in the new pages?

I have a problem: Documents I created in Pages 2009, when opened in the new Pages I get "objects in tables were removed".
This makes all my documents useless !
Is there any way to get the objects (images and tables mostly) to load into the tables across all my documents ?

No, there isn't. Use Pages 09 with your old documents and Pages 5.0 for creating new ones. Do you really need Pages 5.0 is the question you need to answer. If not, don't.

Throwing error using view objects in Table

Hi,
I am making use of 2 different view objects to assign column values for table region.
it is throwing me error that particular attribute is not defined.
cann't we use two different view objects in table?
- Mithun

No, this is not possible. Table component is used for tabular representation of data derived from the contents of a single view instance. Also, you cannot have two tables in the same page with the same view instance unless this is read-only view.

Just update to Pages 5.1 - its dropped the pictures from my Pages files - 'Some features aren't supported - objects in table cells were removed' - how do I get pictures back?

Thanks Peter
Can you just walk me through dumping Pages 5 and getting to the Applications/iWork folder - and does this mean that when I see future Pages Upgrades I should block them?
I'm new to Apple so need a step by step

I have tried this out in the EA release of JDev, and have reproduced the problem you reported. However, trying out the latest development build, the problem does not occur, so this bug has been fixed. You'll pick up this fix when we next release the software on OTN.

Impact Analysis: How to trace which objects and tables used in a report?

Impact Analysis: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report?
Currently, our company have been using BO Webi as our ad-hoc and reporting tool for over a year now. Past several months, we've been pushing our power users to develop their own report, and started to notice that we loss track off which data (tables, columns, ... , BO objects) being used where and by whom. The BI team now spend more time tracing through reports manually, instead of designing Universe.
After consulted with our local SAP technical sale, they said the only solution is to buy BO's ETL (Data Integration) and
Metadata Management tool, which price starting from $300K per CPU. I suppose that is NOT the right solution; however, we have not found one yet. Some executives believe Cognos (now by IBM) would provide a better BI solution as we scale.
If anyone know, please provide (1) Impact Analysis method: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report? and (2) Does Cognos provide better impact analysis method without a heavy spending?
Thank you very much,

EdPC-SCB,
have you tried enabling auditing?
- Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab. I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way. The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want. Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object. To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
thanks,
John

Storage of Java object in table column

Hello,
We have developed an application that requires some Java objects to be stored in tables.
With JDataStore, Cloudscape or InstantDB the operation is rather straightforward. We can use something like:
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO TABLEOBJ(ID,OBJ) VALUES (?,?)");
pstmt.setLong(1,i);
pstmt.setObject(2,myObject);
psmt.executeUpdate();
Some of our clients would like us to use Oracle Lite rather than any of the previously mentioned databases. The only problem is that the above simple code does not work with Oracle.
What is then the easiest way to save Java Object in table column?
Thanks in advance,
Benoit Marchal

found part of the answer in another newsgroup.
But is Oracle Lite 4.0 offering the same possibility? Is it going to be implemented in Oracle Lite 5.0?

Java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table

When I try to connect to my server from an external network, I get this error: java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table
What is happening is I am connecting to my RMI server through a client, and the RMI server connects to a database, gets the results, and then transfers the results back to the client. It works before in an internal network, even if I'm on a different subnet. But I get that error in an external network. What does that error even mean?

Help on Dependency using variant table.

Hi Experts,
I need your help in solving one dependency issue. I am using general task list (IA06 transaction) for service orders. This task list is general task list and not material specific.
I have 2 operations. Op 10 is applicable for some materials and Operation 20 is applicable for rest of the materials.(note: I cannot create 2 task lists and I cannot assign materials to them).
For example: my characteristic name is ZMAT and Material code is XXX
If I write dependency for op10 as... $root.ZMAT = 'XXX' then for material XXX. system is selecting operation 10. If the material is YYY then system is not selecting this operation.
Actually I have 4000 materials and I cannot hard code all these materials in the dependency editor. Hence I want to use a variant table. So based on the variant table entry dependency should select either Op10 or Op20.
How can I rewrite the above selection condition dependency using variant table?
Regards.

Unable to create Entity objects for tables in TimesTen database using ADF

Hi,
I am not able to create Entity and View objects for tables in TimesTen database using ADF. I have installed TimesTen client on my machine.
I have created a database connection by using connection type as "Generic JDBC" and giving driver class and JDBC URL. I am attaching screen shot of the same.
I am right clicking on Model project and selecting New option after that I am selecting ADF Business components and in it I am selecting Business components from tables and there I am querying for tables.I am getting list of tables and when I am trying to create a Entity object from the table after clicking finish Jdev is closing by itself giving an error.
Can anyone please help me how to create Entity objects for tables using TimesTen as database.I might be missing some jars or the way I am creating connection might be wrong or any plugins required to connect to TimesTen.

What is the actual error being given by Jdev? Are you sure that the JDBC connection is using the TimesTen JDBC driver JAR and not some other JDBC driver or the Generic JDBC/ODBC bridge?
Is ADF even supported with TimesTen?

BAPI for creating variant table

Hi,
Cu61 and Cu60 are two transactions in SAP (comes under Variant Configuration) to create a variant table and fill its contents respectively.
Now, I am trying to create a transaction in SAP such that on the screen it takes the name of the variant table to be created and an excel file as input from the user and thus create a variant table and fill its contents in the background. Now, ofcourse I have to do this through ABAP coding. I know how to upload the excel file into the internal table but I am not able to figure out that how should i create the variant table and transfer the contents of that internal table to the variant table? That is, how should i transfer the contents to the variant table?
I have been able to find out the tables involved in the process viz, CUVTAB, CUVTAB_FLD, CUVTAB_VALC.
Does there exist any BAPI for doing the same?
Please Help.

Hi Reema,
Thanks for replying but this is not what I am looking for. I do not want to create a cluster table rather I want to create a variant table (it is a table used in variant configuration to store the combinations of a material whose characteristics can take varying values at the time of configuration). A table that we create through the transaction Cu61 and populate its contents through the transaction Cu60.
However, I still tried your suggestion but it did not result in what I want.
My problem still exists.
