CAF Process - Types of users creating composites

Hi all,
I was wondering what's your opinion on about what kind of development can be done by other people other than developer (for example business analyst) during a caf project.
I was thinking about something like this:
1. creating processes, blocks and actions and attaching existing callable objects - business analyst or developer
2. creating entity services, external services - business analyst ? (developer of course too)
3. creating application services - developer
4. creating callable objects which don't include coding - business analyst and developer.
5. creating Web Dynpro UI from templates - business analyst and developer.
Any other ideas, disagreements etc?

Ladislav

Licence types for users creating and executing BW reports

Hi Friends,
Will users who are writing queries attract a full professional licence or a limited professional licence.
Will users who are only executing queries need an ERP employee licence, limited professional or full professional licence?
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hi,
User who are executing the reports, they will have execute authorisation of the query only. They dont require full authorisation.
Developer who created the query they will have full authorisation of the query.
I am not getting what are you talking about License.Can you explain ??

Charateristic variable with Processing type "replacement path"

Hi all
I am using BI 7.0;
I have a characteristic ZPL_CNT in one dimensions of a Cube;
now i want to use the value of the ZPL_CNT as column in Query.
So i created a formula and a formula variable with replacement path of processing type:
setting:
i created a new formula "Calculated MBZ"
the formula variables is "ZMBZ" and inserted the variables into "Calculated MBZ"
Reference characteristic: ZPL_CNT
Processing type : Replacement path
Replace variable with: Attribute value
Attribute: characteristic Reference (constant 1)
But i find the value in Query incorrect
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Dragon,
Can you not drag and drop this characteristic directly in the columns...have I misunderstood something?
I think when you use replacement path in the formula variable , the fromula variable tries to find the reference characteristic value at each record level in the report and then replaces it with attribute value as defined and may be in your case as the characteristice is not defined in the row , it has problems to identify which value of the characteristic it has to replace.

SAP BPC Custom Process Type - passing parameters

Hi,
I wish to create a custom process type with custom parameters which can be populated from the Data Manager package execution. I went thru the tutorial by Rich mentioned [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11]. But because of access issues, I cannot install the classes on my system using the .BPC files.
Can someone please guide me as to how I can use custom parameters in my process type? So far, I have tried adding the parameter but haven't been successful:
1) Created a class ZCL_UJD_BPC_TEST (with superclass CL_UJD_ACTOR) and populated all the methods for this class.
2) Created a class ZCL_UJD_TEST and created a constructor and PROCESS method. Here I tried to read the parameter XXXXXX.
3) Added the ZBPCTEST process type in RSPC
4) Created a custom process chain with a custom variant /CPMB/ZYYYYYY for the ZBPCTEST process type.
5) Created the DM package and passed value to the parameter XXXXXX using dynamic script.
However, I get the error "Cannot configure the parameter XXXXX in task YYYYYYYY".
Thanks,
Shailesh Kamath.

Hi Shailesh,
Did u solve this, we also implemented same in BPC 7.5 NW but after migration many methods become obselete,please let me know how you approached.

Custom Process Type - Creating the variant screen

My custom process type's logic is rather simple: run parts of the process chain only if it is the first day of the month, other parts only if it the last day of the month.
I created a new custom process type (ABAP OO Class), but I am now struggling with creating the logic to create/maintain a variant for my custom process type.
My goal is to have a simple interface with two radio buttons where the user clicks on the "new variant" icon. One choice is "run on the first day of the month", the other choice is "run at the last day of the month".
My understanding is that this logic has to be implemented in the method IF_RSPC_MAINTAIN~MAINTAIN.
To support this, I also created a database table that consists of:
- process chain id
- run type (B = beginning of month / E = end of month)
- current process type id (not quite sure how to populate this field yet...)
Can someone now point me into the direction on how the create the variant logic so that the radio buttons get displayed and the table updated with the user's choice?
Thank you,
Dennis

Any ideas?

OIM 11g R2: Setting target attribute dependend on process type (create, update, disable)

Hi,
I try to set an attribute ("Action") of users on a target system (Lotus Notes) dependend on the type of process that was carried out:
When the user is created in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "create".
When the user is updated in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "update".
When the user is disabled in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "disable".
What would be the easiest way to achieve that? And how exactly would I have to set that up? (I have tried reading the documentation on Adapter Tasks, however I wasn't able to get that to working...).
Thank you!
M

Hi J,
thanks for your reply. I had some troubles trying to follow your description, but this is what I did:
1) Create one field in your process form as "Action".
I used the pre-existing field "RoamSubdir"
2) Create a new Process Task in Lotus Notes Process Defn for "Action Updated" (You can use OOTB adapter for mapping purpose)
DesignConsole: Process Management > Process Definition > "Lotus User", Add: "RoamSubdir Updated"
3) Create a new Process Task Adapter which populates which takes input as input1 and return the input.
Development Tools: Adapter Factory > Adapter Name "RoamSubdirAction", Adapter Type: "Process Task" > Tab "Variable List", Add "Name: input1, Type: String, Mapped As: Resolve at runtime", Tab "Adapter Tasks" > Add "Logic Task", "Set Variable", Variable Name "Adapter return value", Operand Type "Variable", Operand Qualifier "input1"; Click "Build".
4) Create 3 Process Tasks in Lotus Notes Process Defn . One for each action. For example: Update Action As Enable, Update Action As Disable, Update Action As Create. In each process tasks, pass input as Enable,Disable and Create respectively.
Process Management > Process Definition > "Lotus User", Add: Task Name: "Update SubRoamdir As create", Tab "Integration", Add, "Adapter", adpROAMSUBDIRACTION. Edit "2|N|input1|input", Map To: Literal, String, create; Edit "1|N|AdapterReturnValue|ReturnVariable", Map To: Process Data, Qualifier: RoamSubdir
5) Map each tasks created at step 4 to success of Create User, Enable User, Disable user respectively.
Process Definition > Edit "Create User" > Task Dependency, Dependent Tasks, Assign "Update RoamSubdir as create"
However, this does NOT work. When provisioning a new user on Lotus, looking into the resource history I can see that "Update RoamSubdir as create" is NEVER called.
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for your help,
M

A more successful experiment in creating compositable user interfaces for Config Dialogs

A couple weeks ago I posted an experiment in creating compositable user interfaces using transparent subpanels. The approach might best be described as, "It at least was notable for being novel."
Today, I'm posting another attempt, this one along more traditional lines, and far more successful. Particularly notable: this one can do all the arbitrary composition of the last one AND it solves the TAB order problem.
This solution uses a picture control and renders N copies of a control. When the user tabs to a control or moves the mouse over the control, a real control slides into that position to be able to catch the events (update mouse over draw state, highlight for keyboard focus, handle typing, etc). When the Value Change occurs, a master array of data is updated and the picture control is updated.
This is something that has been attempted in various forms in the past, but there are two aspects of this particular implementation that make it nice:
its programmatic interface for specifying the behavior of the various objects should make it fairly easy for a user of the framework to programmatically generate their dialogs
it handles the TAB problem without flickering, something I haven't seen in other attemps
This idea spawns out of conversation about the previous experiment -- thanks to those of you who posted on various forums, e-mailed me, or, in a couple cases, showed up at my desk. That last one is not something I'm encouraging unless you work at NI... just saying. :-)
Now, this experiement has already yeilded some interesting conversation. We note that as long as controls are instantiated independent of each other -- that is, no property of one control depends upon the property of another control -- this dialog system scales nicely. But in this experiment, I implemented Radio Buttons, which interact with each other -- when one is set True, the others go False. As soon as controls start interacting with each other (such as graying out one control when a checkbox is toggled, or having expandable sections, or really complex cases like updating a graph as some options change, like happens in some Express VI config dialogs) then we start needing ways to refer to the other controls. This rapidly moves us in one of two directions: naming controls or creating references. The naming approach is definitely my preference as it fits better with dataflow and I can do some interesting effects with breaking apart some of the tree. But all of this quickly starts sounding like "Please implement a XAML parser in LabVIEW." For those of you unfamiliar with XAML, in the world of UI design, it might very well be the coolest thing since sliced bread. A XAML string would indeed fit with dataflow, and we could start building that up. I hesitate to head down this road for two reasons. One, as many have noted, there's really not a good XML parsing library written in LabVIEW that can give me a useful DOM tree. Two, that's a huge project and my gut sense is that you'd have to complete a fairly large chunk of it before you'd start seeing any return on investment. But it is worth thinking about -- I might be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. This code that I've posted today can at least get you started on the generation side if one of you decides to become industrious.
I'm turning my attention away from this project for now... coding in G is lots of fun, and I wish I could spend more days doing it, but this has been a side project and it's time to get back to my assigned projects in text programming. Building a powerful platform for automatic UI generation in LabVIEW would be really useful -- I see lots of requests for this sort of thing, and other languages are pulling ahead of us in this domain.
[UPDATE 5/17/2012 - There is an improved version.]
Solved!

Thanks for posting this Aristos. I would normally be one of those to go bug you at your desk, but in case I'm not the only one with this question... which particular flickering problem are you referring to? The act of switching tabs? In all honesty, I've never noticed...
When you move controls around on the screen, normally you try to Defer Panel Updates while you do that. But Defer Panel Updates has an effect on control's abilities to catch certain mouse clicks, so when you're trying to move a control to catch the mouse, you have to work a lot without Defer Panel Updates, so if you're adjusting captions, etc, to match the new location, you can see flicker as properties adjust. You can move the control off-screen, as long as you have already updated the picture control to reflect the changes. It took a while to catch all the ways that the flickering can crop up. I think I got 'em all.
Attached are the VIs saved for LV 2009. Actually, they're saved for LV 8.6, but it doesn't work in 8.6 because of a bug in the picture control that existed back then.

BI custom process type (ABAP OO Class): how to create a variant screen?

I created a custom process type in Netweaver 2004s (business intelligence) which in essence is nothing but an Abap class that implements certain interfaces. What I am now struggling with is how to write the code for the "new variant" input screen.
My understanding is that the logic has to be implemented in the method IF_RSPC_MAINTAIN~MAINTAIN, but I am lacking detailed information.
Can someone give me an example with a variant screen that displays two radio buttons?
Thank you,
D.

It is a custom class that implements the following interfaces:
IF_RSPC_GET_VARIANT
IF_RSPC_MAINTAIN
IF_RSPC_EXECUTE
The interface I am struggling with is the first one (get variant). Any more insight on how this should be used would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

FM to create support message for custom process type other than 'SLFN'

Is there any function module or BAPI which will create support message for the custom process type other than SLFN.
BAPI_NOTIFICATION_CREATE is posting only for the process type 'SLFN'
Thanks in advance

Any ideas?

Creating New Process Types

Hello,
Great to hear from anyone who has created a non-ABAP process type and included in the process chain.
The interface methods and how they get called and/or check status etc. are not documented or at least I cannot find them.
Thanks
Mathew

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info. You can also create process types similar to the Load IP process type which react to certain events like right click etc.
For example, if you wanted a new process type that checked for its status within the last xxx hours and then bypasses itself or run itself based on a set of rules.
If can be done as an ABAP program with possibly a variant for the IP name, time etc. which can then be attached to a process chain or can be programmed similar to an existing non-ABAP process type, say similar to the Load IP process type.
What I was looking for is some documentation or feedback from others who know about the methods used ...there all have to conform to some OO based interface but there is little by way of documentation on it.

Create Process Chains and add Process Types using ABAP

Does anyone in here have experience in creating or changing a full Process Chain including the Process Types?
The reason is, that we have a lot of source systems with "similar" loads.
We already have an ABAP that can copy the chain and replace the InfoPackages. But we can't find a way to create/change a process, e.g. 'Hierarchy Save', 'PSA Delete' etc.
Any ABAP samples is highly appreciated!
Best Regards Jakob

Hello Jakob
did you find already this how to paper: "How to ... Implement custom process types" ?(https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/72e0e1ed-0c01-0010-74bc-b397c8c4dadc)
It has a code sample in the appendix.
Hope it helps,

Create APG ( approval granted) status in process order through user status

Dear Gurus,
My business requirement is to create APG ( approval granted) sytem status in process order through user status functionality, if possible.
This needs to be activated while creating process order itself. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Satish

As of this date, we have still not implemented a fix, but I did get some information from someone else who has.
I'll post his information here for all to see. Hope you find it helpful.
From: Joe
Yes we managed to do it.
After several false starts and CMOD/projects which suffered because only the default keys (for order number, aufpl etc) were in place and not the actual, we coded up the IN_UPDATE method in the WORKORDER_UPDATE badi. This gives us the final format after the DB save (but before the commit). The update of the STATUS using the SAP std function module was actioned successfully but the status profile was not actually passed through. We assumed that this was because of the update task - so we introduced an INSERT into JSTO instead (a bit naughty I know, but desperate needs etc). If you require anything more let me know.
Best Regards
Joe

Creating and Changing Process Type

Hi experts,
In our system we have custom made process types. These process types are used at some process chains.
I need to change something in these process types.
Could you please how I can change/create the process types? Any document, link or suggestion would be great.
Thanks

Process Type ABAP does not work properly via process chain

Dear SDNers
I am running a process chain and it contains process type ABAP program. ABAP program was running correctly till now via this process chain. ABAP program process type generally takes approximately 2 hours to run. But now, this process type for ABAP program just run for less than 1 minute and finishes successfully. The issue is that ABAP program does not run at all.
I ran the ABAP program in background and it took approximately 2 hours to run. ABAP Program is local means in our BW system and does not involve Remote Function call. We have BI7.0 system
Has some one came across this type of issue?
Best Regards
Pradip

Has the aleremote user or which ever user you have defined for background scheduling changed permissions recently?
What happens if you create an adhoc chain and include this ABAP variant, does it run then?
What does the log say in SM37 when run via process chain?
Cheers
Craig

How to Send an Email to Outlook using process type in RSPC?

Hi,
How to Send an Email to Outlook using process type in RSPC?
We created lot of process variants, actually we want to send an mail to users if the DP Background job was succesfully finished.
Actually i tried with create message its not happening...
Plz let me know .. its urgent ...
Regards,
Satish

Hello Satish,
If you want to send a friendly message to your users, then you can do this by building an ABAP program that calls function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 . You can then insert this ABAP program in your process chain (using the ABAP program process type) or as a second step in your background job. With this technique, you can send an email to SAP users, or to external users (e..g Outlook email addresses)
Here's a sample ABAP code:
data: ls_docdata type SODOCCHGI1,
        lt_objcont type table of solisti1,
        lt_receivers type table of somlreci1,
        ls_objcont type solisti1,
        ls_receivers type somlreci1,
        ls_user type syuname.
* Fill these variables with subject and msg lines that you need.
data: MAIL_SUBJECT     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE1     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE2     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE3     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE4     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE5     TYPE STRING.
ls_docdata-obj_descr = mail_subject.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line1.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line2.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line3.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line4.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line5.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
* t_userlist contains the list of users to whom th email will be sent.
loop at t_userlist into ls_user.
    ls_receivers-receiver = ls_user.
"Change the type here if email is for outlook users, See documentation
" of function module in SE37
    ls_receivers-rec_type = 'B'.
    ls_receivers-express = 'X'.
    append ls_receivers to lt_receivers.
endloop.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data                   = ls_docdata
    tables
     OBJECT_CONTENT                   = lt_objcont
     receivers                        = lt_receivers
   EXCEPTIONS
     TOO_MANY_RECEIVERS               = 1
     DOCUMENT_NOT_SENT                = 2
     DOCUMENT_TYPE_NOT_EXIST          = 3
     OPERATION_NO_AUTHORIZATION       = 4
     PARAMETER_ERROR                  = 5
     X_ERROR                          = 6
     ENQUEUE_ERROR                    = 7
     OTHERS                           = 8
You can test out the function module first in SE37 (just put the name of the FM and click execute). Testing it in SE37 will help you get your parameters right.
Hope this helps.
