Category attribute value in OCS DB

Hi !
Im doing a SQL search directly in OCS DB and so far Im able to search via oracle text in documents content. My question is: where are located the attributes values that the user
enters in attributes when creating a document ?
By attributes I mean the elements of one single categories.
i.e.: My category name is MyCategory and I have one attribute in it MyAttribute which is a String value.
Where is that value located in the database when its created on document creation?
Thanks

Sorry
This answer is valid to Oracle Content Database. I am not aware if it works for OCSDB also.
Hope that helps,
Dani
Hi,
The values of the categories attributes are located on the tables of the categories. All the categories and attributes are managed by internalnames. I hope this query help to answer your question:
SELECT odmv_metadataschemacategory.displayname as catname,
'ODM_'|| odmv_metadataschemacategory.ASSOCIATEDSCHEMAOBJECT || 'AH' as tablename,
odmv_mdataattrschemacategory.displayname as atrname,
odmv_mdataattrschemacategory.name as columnname
FROM odmv_metadataschemacategory,
odmv_mdataattrschemacategory,
odm_schemacategory,
odm_classobject
WHERE odmv_mdataattrschemacategory.associatedschemaobject =
odmv_metadataschemacategory.id
and odmv_metadataschemacategory.id = odm_schemacategory.id
and odm_classobject.id = odm_schemacategory.associatedschemaobject;
Best regards,
Dani

Can we update the Category attribute values of a file

Can we update the Category attibute values of a file with out checkout the file?
I have set the version configuration to folder and try to update the category attribute values of a file under that folder,
It is asking to checkout the file before modifying the category attibute values.
Is it required to checkout the file before modifying the category attribute values of that file?
Is there any way to update the category attribute values without checkout the file?
Please help on this

One of the ways i can think of is using Batch Loader script for large number of files. Mention such files in Batch Loader script, and it will update category and all meta-data required in terms of next revision.
In case number of files are less manual checkout and check-in will help.

Extract category attribute value desgin question

I created a search application which returns a result set of documents that have a custom category. I need to extract the values of the applied category. Right now I'm doing some looping a getting the requestedAttributes until i have the CUSTOM_ALL. I get the values using the internal names.
Document -> Categories -> CUSTOM_ALL -> Custom Attributes Values
Is there a better way to do this?

Unfortunately no, at least as far as I know. I wrote some procedures that I can use in all places where I need category information (procedures like getCatInfoFromFolder, mapInternalToDisplayNames, ....), it took me a while but it saved me a lot of time in later coding.

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

Get Folder Content with category attributes

I want to get all documents of a folder with few custom category attributes values.

Yes, you make a SearchExpression tree that holds all your attributes and values to compare them to. Here is something I used for a category with 7 attributes:
        AttributeRequest[] ar = new AttributeRequest[]{
            new AttributeRequest(Attributes.CLASS_NAME, null),

Updating category attribute (metadata) value

How do you update the value of a category attribute ?
For exemple, I have a document x with a category myCat with an attribute myAttr.
I want to change the value of myAttr once in a while. Is this possible?
How can I update that value ?
Thanks

Hi,
With removing category(using the categoryManager.deleteCategory) and reassigning the updated category attribute back to the document using (filemanager.UpdateDocument), this can be achive,
Have you worked out any other way?
Regards,

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.

Concatenation of attribute values

Hi Friends,
We are on MDM 5.5 SP06 PL04.
We have a requirement where in we have to update a field in the main table based on the attribute values entered by the user in the lookup field [taxonomy] in the same table through the Data Manager..
Say, there are 5 attributes : A1, A2, A3, A4, A5. The value to be updated in the field would be the concatenation of the values entered in the attributes, separated by a space.
None of the attributes are mandatory, though at least one has to be populated.
Is it possible to carry out this requirement through assignments? If not, could you please suggest some alternatives to acheive the same?
Regards,
Anil Madhavan

Hi,
This requirement can be achieved using Assignment.
Say In record mode, You have a Record in your Main table of MDM data Manager which has a category associated with it.
This category is linked with 5 Attributes say A1, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5.
say A1 has value XYZ
A2 has value ABC
A3 has Value 123
A4 has Value 456
A5 has Value 789
so you want concatenation of all these three Attribute value as: XYZ ABC 123 456 789
Create an Assignment: give the Assignment field where do you want to have this concatenation value populated.
Now right click on this assignment-->Add Branch.
Select the Branch Value of that category: Write Assignment Expression here in this Add Branch Assignment as:
write Assignment Expression as below:
A1&" "&A2&" "&A3&" "&A4&" "&A5
Note: Select the Attributes names from Drop down Attributes tab.
Thanks and Regards,

I was wondering if anybody knows how I can make a change to a document's category attributes without having the document bump up a version.
I have an Event Handler that detects specific events where I am required to change a couple of attribute values.
The document itself could have versioning turned on explicitly or it could have inherited the feature via the folder. Either way, I'd like to shut down the versioning for a moment, make the change and re-set it to normal operation.
Thanks
Winston

Hi Winston,
Once the file is under version control and checked-in, there is no way to make a subsequent change(s) without causing a new version to be created.
One option you could do from your event handler after changing the metadata (which causes a new version to be created), is to remove the old version, then look to update the new version's creator/lastmodifier with the old version's details.
As the code above may likely re-trigger your event handler, you may need to some how flag the file (using metadata) so as to be able to determine whether the new version resulted from the event handler rather than end-user so as to be able to skip processing.

How to get the attribute values out?

Hi everyone,
<root>
<category name="Mens Clothing" id="0">
<subcategory>Active/Baselayer Tops</subcategory>
<subcategory>Active/Baselayer
Bottoms</subcategory>
</category>
<category name="Womens Clothing" id="1">
<subcategory>aaa</subcategory>
<subcategory>bbb</subcategory>
</category>
</root>
How to get the attribute values out? For example "Mens
Clothing" and "Womens Clothing".
// the line below returns "Active/Baselayer Tops" and
"Active/Baselayer Bottoms"
var myXml:XML = new XML(event.result);
Thanks,
May

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"));

Not getting attribute values in IPC routines Scenerio R/3 B2B using AP 7.0

Hi,
Our Scenerio is using ISA R/3 B2B using AP 7.0. I have developed IPC routines but when i debug my routines in SM53 I notice that I'm not getting any attribute value except for VKORG.
I'm pasting the code below. Please help me if I have to implement some BADI or do something more to get the attribute values.
I have defined the attributes properly in Routine assignment in tcode /n/sapcnd/ueass
userexitlogger.writeLogDebug("*requirment 901*" + "Plant = "plant"||ANZ_MONATE ="+ item.getAttributeValue(ANZ_MONATE_STR).toString()"||ANZ_JAHRE="item.getAttributeValue(ANZ_JAHRE_STR).toString()"||MATKL="item.getAttributeValue(MATKL_STR).toString()"||PSTYV="item.getAttributeValue(PSTYV_STR).toString()"||VKORG="item.getAttributeValue(VKORG_STR)"||PRSFD="item.getAttributeValue(PRSFD_STR)"||MVGR2="item.getAttributeValue(MVGR2_STR).toString()"||PRSDT="item.getAttributeValue(PRSDT_STR).toString()"||AUDAT="item.getAttributeValue(AUDAT_STR).toString());
I would reward points for help
Many Thanks n regards,
Dipender

I would like to go through each Value of the xml file and give each Value a name
e.g. from the xml file <VentCount Value=1> Retreive the value above and giving it the name VentCount. Then I would beable to use the name vent count as follows:
setVentCount() //My own method can use as follows: setVentCount(VentCount); I would like to do his for ever value, each value with a specific name

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.
Thanks,
Adi

Hi Jaya,
You want to catch Flexfield values?
Try below code for catch value.
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
if (pageContext.getParameter("queryBtn")!= null)
OADescriptiveFlexBean dfb = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("flexDFF"); //get the DFF bean
OAWebBean dffbean = (OAWebBean)dfb.findChildRecursive("flexDFF0"); //get the field that applies to the attribute1 column that is being rendered
OAMessageStyledTextBean Stylebean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)dffbean;
String dtlsItem = (String)Stylebean.getText(pageContext);
/* here creating the hashmap and calling the page with the hashmap*/
Thanks,
Dilip

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)
