CATS Short Text & Long Text

Hello Experts,
How are "Short Text" and "Long text" used in CATS? I thought that these were supposed to be two separate text fields, but when I make an entry in the Long text field, the value shows up in the Short Text field.
Are these two separate fields? Any ideas how to use both Short Text and Long text and not have the value copied from one to the other?

Hi,
You can Create a rule in Alert Configuration based on the <b>error code</b> under "where did the error occur".
Based on this you can trigger the required Alert category.

Hi ,
In the transaction related to PO select the path goto->header texts and then details of the texts like ID,objectname,language,name.Pass all theses details to 'READ_TEXT ' FM. Then you will get text lines described for a perticular Po ,similarly for item also.
Thanks,

Short and long texts

Dear Experts,
I have many BW objects (like Infocubes, Infoobject catalogues, Infoobjects) for which no short and long texts are maintained in one language. Now, all these are in use in the production system. I have to edit the short and long texts for all of these objects. My intention on how to do it is to,
1) Logon to the Development system
2) Edit short texts manually for all of the objects.
3) Collect the changed objects in Transport organiser and transport to the productive system.
My only question is does we need to do any thing in the production system after transporting these objects for them to get reflected.
Any help and other thoughts are greatly appreciated...
Kind Regards,
Shravan

Transport Changes and that's all ...
Hope it helps

BOM Item Text/Long Text

Hi Gurus,
I want to change a BOM and update/create the BOM Item text/Long text. I just want to change the BOM and create an item text (If the text is more than 80 chars, then I should be able to create a long text).
I tried using FMs SAVE_TEXT and CREATE_TEXT without much luck. Could someone throw some light on how to achieve this.
R

Thanks Sudheer. Yes, I'm passing the correct parameters. Please see below.
        CONCATENATE sy-mandt ls_stpo-stlty ls_stpo-stlnr
                                 ls_stpo-stlkn ls_stpo-stpoz
          INTO lf_tdname.
          CALL FUNCTION 'CREATE_TEXT'
            EXPORTING
              fid       = 'MPO'
              flanguage = sy-langu
              fname     = lf_tdname
              fobject   = 'BOM'
            TABLES
              flines    = lt_lines
            EXCEPTIONS
              no_init   = 1
              no_save   = 2
              OTHERS    = 3.
The thing is that it should save the text in Line1 and line 2 of the item text if the length is less than 80. I assume that the TEXT Fms will do it for me. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have also tried a direct database update by changing the stpo-ltxsp field. No luck again. Did someone has updated/created the text using this method ?

Translate Custom (Z infoobject ) short text/long text

Hello ,
Scenario:
When the user (with the logon language French) run the report via Portal, instead of displaying the text of the custom info object (selection screen) in French, it just displays the technical name of the info object.
Request:
Please let me know if any body done the language translation for the scenario above.
I appreciate your input.
Thanks
Ram

Hi,
there are no french texts. You must create it.
Use the transaction SLWB to translate the texts.

GL Account Short vs. Long Text

Where is the short text vs. long text used in the system for GL account descriptions? There is not enough room right now in the short text field for our account descriptions so we are concerned what the implications of using the same names across multiple accounts for the short description but putting all the correct detail in the long text field.

Hello,
Normally these short text are visible when you go with F4 (drop down list), you will see the short text. As stated earlier, I would not recommend any changes to standard screens. Many of the SAP implementation that I have seen gone with the standard and used the length provided by SAP.
Business need to use more logic when they are defining short and long texts. If you are creating cost elements, note that the same short and long text will be copied to COST ELEMENTS.

Ravi

Creation of short text and long text?

Hi,
We create short text by using oe_fnd_attachments_pub.create_short_text_document and oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment API and to create long text we use fnd_documents_pkg.insert_row .
Why is it that we have different approaches for creation of short text and long text?
I know that oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment is used to attach a short text to some entity,but then why we dont do the same for long text?
Please lemme knw urgently ...
Thanks and Regards
Amar

Hi Atul,
I think you can enter short description & long text seprately for a WBS while creating entire struture of project in PS only. I don't think other than PS you will be able to enter short & long text for individual WBS.

Difference betwen short text and long text

Hi,
what is the difference between short text, long text and variant.

Hi,
Short text is the short description you give for an object or field simlarly long text is the long description for a object or field.
Short text cannot have lenght more than 20 and long text more than 60.
Variant means for example if you give certain values as an input in one of your transaction for testing and you want the same values to be used every time you test in that particular screen, then instead of inputting the values again n again you call the variant.
Hope this helps
