Change Date Type Description and Re Arrange

Dear Expert,
I would like to change description of each date type in block date and arrange date rows as new sequence in IC Web Client, I try to do it on t-code BSP_DLC_SDESIG_DL but I cannot, the transaction allow to adjust only field STRUCT.APPT_TYPE_DESCR description , I would like to change each date value description in this structure and arrange them. Have anyone used to do this? Please suggest me.
Best Regards,
Krin

Hi,
If you mean the Dates assignment block; this is populated by the date profile assigned to your transaction type.
Go to SPRO --> CRM --> Transactions --> Basic Settings. You can find which date profile is used for your transaction type in the detailed view.
Then go to SPRO --> CRM --> Basic Functions --> Date Management --> Define Date Profile. Here you can check which date types are used in your profile. You can rename these using SPRO --> CRM --> Basic Functions --> Date Management --> Define Date Types, Duration Types and Date Rules. I think the sequence of the dates is determined alphabetically on date type.

Changing data types of fields in structures

Hello,
   Currently we are working for upgrade to ECC 6.0 .
   In some transactions we are using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create material.
We have some additional fields in MARA and MARC table , which we fill using BAPI_TE_MARA and BAPI_TE_MARC structures.
    In these structures we have different data types for fields earlier in 4.6C
Now this function module is only working if we change data types of fields in these structures only to char type. It is going for dump , if we maintain any other data type.
Could any body tell me why should we change for char data type ?
Regards,
SATYA

Hi,
Check enhancement category (Extras --> Enhancement Category) for structures before enhancement. For example, for BAPI_TE_MARA structure, enhancement category is given as character type or numeric type. That means you can add the fields of data type only C and N. No other data types are allowed. If you select as not classified then you can add any data type. This option plays important role while enhancement.

How to change data type of attribute in caf

hi.
this is my problem.
i been added a attribute in an entity service called emloyee. named "Birthday", use the data type "com.sap.caf.core.date".
when i tried modify the entity service, i hit exception about "DST Daylight Saving Time".
because of DST, the date will add an hour such like "1957/04/01 00:00:00.0" to "1957/04/01 01:00:00.0", and com.sap.caf.core.date will throw an exception.
is anyone had same problem like me?
how to fixed it(if passable)?
and, how to change data type?
thanks.

Hi Sruthi,
all you need to do on this is open the report go to the parameters, select the parameter that you wish to change and click "Edit". This will allow you to change thefield to a date rather than a date time.

Sysgen : How to read the input port data type, width and rate dynamically in a masked subsystem ?

Hello everybody,
     I am designing a general purpose block in system generator. I pass the user parameters to the block through masking it. Some user parameters can change the block configuration. The input port data type, width and rate can also affect the block configuration.
     The problem is that these values (input port data type, width and rate) are subject to change. So I should read them dynamically, then change the block configuration through programming the "Initialization Commands" field. But unfortunately there is no straight way to read the input port information.
     There are some methods in for example the "Black Box". these are:
input_width = this_block.port('din').width;
input_rate = this_block.port('din').rate;
But these methods are not applicable to a masked subsystem.
I have tried other ways also. You can find them below. None of them worked.
Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?
Other ways I tried:
1)
design_name([],[],[],'compile')
q=get_param(gcb,'PortHandles');
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortDataType')
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortWidth')
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortDimensions')
design_name([],[],[],'term')
2)
ssGetInputPortDataType
3)
ts = Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes([gcb '/Input'])

Today we rely on Simulink to perform parameterization of your designs in two ways:
Parameterizable Subsystems and Blocks : Parameters themselves can be MATLAB expressions that need to be evaluated for which we need the MATLAB interpreter
The very useful Rate and Type propagation or Simulink compilation that allows us to specify types & rates in one location that gets systematically propagated to all.
To truly make the HDL Netlist that is generated from SysGen parameterizable, we would have to implement some of this capability in the HDL netlist itself by:
Using Generics(VHDL) or Parameters(Verilog) - We would have to capture the bit width(type) propagation through levels of hierarchies and finally parameterize the IP itself based on this value
Since IP itself does not have this capability through generics, we would have to package a separate tcl script that updates the IP parameterization appropriately in response to top level parameters(or GUI parameters)
Interpreting MATLAB expressions and translating them into VHDL/Verilog expressions (alternatively tcl expressions of IP). In simulink, mask parameters can be passed from one level to the next. Also parameterization of a block can be composed of Matlab expressions using variables from ancestor masks & the MATLAB interpreter – so we will need to somehow capture that as well.

Change data type from number(11,6) to number (11,8)

I have a table, which has a million records...I have to change data type of some of the columns from number (11,6) to number (11,8).
I thought of taking the backup of the table , truncating the original table, change the data type and then insert data back.
Is it a safe option considering so many records ?

the first number is precision and the second is scale:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196/schema002.htm#sthref472
so yes, 11,6 can hold larger numbers than 11,8
create table foobar (two number(5,2),
three number(5,3))
insert into foobar values (123.45,12.345);
--works fine
insert into foobar values (123.45,123.45);
--gives error ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column

Hudson
I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
Kuba

I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

Problem to transform Flat file to Data Type Structurated and map to IDOC

Hi all,
I have a file to idoc scenario.
The information is like this:
1#!445#!AI12#!1#!20070214#!DVXXXXR#!201#!31GINHG876#!#!
2#!#!ETC
3#!000000000030008888#!#!3000#!#!10#!#!20070215
4#!dades45#!b#!c#!d#!e#!f#!g
5#!pos5
where 1, 2, ... = key segments for the file adapter and #! are the field separator.
this must go to a Data Type with substructures like this:
(xml)
.1
......2
.3
......4
......5
where 2 is inside 1 and 4-5 inside 3.
The reason of this is we can get unbounded replays of 3/4/5 for one header.
But XI reads the information like if all segments are headers.
.1
.2
.3
.4
.5
So the IDOC is bad created.
Where is the issue? At Message Mapping all substructures are mapped with his default and at TEST option it works fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear people,
according to license problems at client, it's impossible to get the convert agent.
so now we come back to try to solve with normal mapping.
the next step is try to convert it using 2 message mappings: dt (flat xml) to dt (structurated) and this one to the idoc.
i suppose it can be done adding program at interface mapping.
I created the no hiereachical Data Type for load the information and it's fine. But i am unable to get the first mapping OK, because XI has problems with unbounded segments.
If you agreed and has time, i copy here the information and his structure.
I receive (#! defines separation and key segment fields are 1,2,3,4,5):

The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the subtract operator

Hi ;
I want to fetch values 6,903,00 format ,my query is ;
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(50), CONVERT(money,SUM(DEBIT)),1) AS DEBIT ,CONVERT(varchar(50), CONVERT(money,SUM(CREDIT)),1),AS
CREDIT CONVERT(varchar(50), CONVERT(money,SUM(DEBIT)),1) - CONVERT(varchar(50), CONVERT(money,SUM(CREDIT)),1) AS BALANCE
FROM TABLE
it was get error : The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the subtract operator.
I want to Show result ;
DEBIT - CREDIT - BALANCE
6,903,00 4,387.24 2,515.76
Thanks in advance

You have to do the subtraction with the MONEY data type (prior to covert-ing).
Starting with SQL Server 2012, you can use the FORMAT command:

How to change data type of content type column.

Hi all,
I am having one content type. I have 10 columns in it. There are two rich text columns in my content type. I have attached this content type to pages library. I want to change the data type of this rich text column to "Full
HTML content with formatting and constraints for publishing".
Please assist me with this issue.
amol

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to change the data type for rich text column in content type.
The field type of Full HTML content with formatting and constraints for publishing is "Invalid", you could refer to this article:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spfieldtype.aspx.
You also could test it by create a Full HTML content with formatting and constraints for publishing column and get the its type with C# code below:
//change the URL to your SharePoint site
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp/sites/sharepoint2013"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPFieldType type = web.Fields["Column name"].Type;
I have tested it with the PowerShell, it cannot hange the rich text column to “Full HTML content with formatting and constraints for publishing” column. If you want to edit the rich text column, you could not change the type of the column as the screenshot
below:
As a workaround, you could follow these steps to accomplish your requirement:
Create a “Full HTML content with formatting and constraints for publishing” type column in the content type.
Enter your site columns by clicking gear icon -> Site Settings -> Site columns under Web Designer Galleries under section.
Find and delete the rich text column you want to change.
Find the column you have created in step 1, and change the column’s name to the name of the text column you have deleted in step 3.
But you will lose the data of the rich text column in pages library with this method.

How to change data type of input parameter

Hi
In my procedure i declared the data type of "Value Date" Input parameter as Date where as in CR it is showing data type as "Date Time". Can any one please specify how to change to Date.
While prompting for input parameter in description it is showing message as
Please enter Date time in format"yyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" . To change the content selected "format field" option. But is there any way to change input parameter data type.
Please suggest how to change.
Thanks Sruthi

Hi Sruthi,
all you need to do on this is open the report go to the parameters, select the parameter that you wish to change and click "Edit". This will allow you to change thefield to a date rather than a date time.

Issue with Info Object Transport after changing Data Type

Hi Experts,
We have a DSO which is running past 5 years. And recently(3 days back) we added new fields into that DSO. Delta loaded for last three days and new info object (Say XXX) data populated into DSO.
Now the problem is, We identified that, info object data type is not correct. We used data type NUMC instead of CHAR.So Character information is missing for that field.
Example:
Data from ECC: ABC123
Data Loaded to DSO: 123 (Missed character ABC)
So we deleted data from DSO and changed the info object data type in Development system.
And also I have deleted only last three days delta records from DSO and transported my info object to Production. But its giving error as: Info object contains data in DSO".
But that info object field is empty in DSO. I have already deleted last three days delta.
Do I need to Delete all 5 years data from DSO to change the data type of recently added new info object ?
Please give me your solutions and ideas to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Santhosh

Hi Raman,
Thank you for your answer.
When I changed the data type of info object in Dev, I deleted the content of DSO. And same thing transported to QA as well. Before importing changed info object, I just deleted the content of DSO from QA. So transport done successfully QA.
But in Production we have a history of past 5 years. So I cant delete all contents of DSO.
So just deleted only the delta request's which contains data for that info object(3 days back, we moved that info object(NUMC data type) to production,So last 3 days delta only loaded for that info object). And tried to transport it. But it was failed. I am sure we need to drop all data from DSO, if I am interested to go with same info object.
I have some comments on your first approach,
1. If we delete info objects from Dev DSO and transport to Production will give transport failure, Why because, my previous transports errors clearly saying that info object contains data in DSO . So it wont allow to remove that info object from DSO.
2.We are using same info object technical name in BO Data federator also. So if we change add new info objects again we need to make changes with BO as well. I am thinking this point as my last option if i cant find any other solution.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Impact of changing data type of a field in Database table

Hi All,
I need to change the data type of a field(which is not a key field and it has no dependency with any other field) from NUMC to CHAR by maintaining the same length. Please let me know if there will be any impact in doing this. Hope the following things need to be taken care:
- Take backup of entire data in the table before doing the change
- After changing the data type, I need to set the option 'Save Data' and then 'Activate and Adjust Database' in 'Database Utility'.
- Use 'Where Used List' to check the related objects.
Please let me know if there is any impact or any thing else need to be taken care apart from the above things.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vidhya.

Hi,
even if the length is same there would be no impact.
just v need to adjust the database in the database utility.
check the table maintenence generator also. if not reflected there u need to delete it and create it again.
reward if useful,

Want to change data type CHAR32 to CHAR40 in cutomized function module(CRM)

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to change the data type CHAR32 to char40 .
Pls guide me how to do it.do I need to change it directly or we have do anymore changes?
Thx in Adv.
Baba

Hello Baba,
In my opinion the length of a data field has little to do with the ITS and it's templates. You should be able to change the length for your function module and then the new length should work on the ITS if using the Webgui. If you have custom templates then maybe you will need to recreate the templates or modify the field length, but this is second to actually changing the datatype length in the R/3 system.

How to Change Date-Type to Char-Type with Format?, When it.....

I'd like to Change format Data from Date-Type Column to char-type
especially, as 'YYYYMMDD' Format, But There are some Error Message.

Finally, sorry for my poor English...

The reason for the error is you are applying a TO_CHAR function to a character datatype. SIDATE is a character. That field should be a date field. If for some reason, you need it to stay as a character field then you will need to change it to a date then change it back to a character.
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(SIDATE,'put format here'),'YYYYMMDD')

Using CLOB data type - Pros and Cons

Dear Gurus,
We are designing a database that will be receiving comments from external data source. These comments are stored as CLOB in the external database. We found that only 1% of incoming data will be larger than 4000 characters and are now evaluating the Pros and Cons of storing only 4000 characters of incoming comments in VARCHAR2 data type or using CLOB data type.
Some of the concerns brought up during discussion were:
- having to store CLOBs in separate tablespace;
- applications, such Toad require changing defaults settings to display CLOBs in the grid. Default value is not to display them;
- applications that build web page with CLOBs will be struggling to fit 18 thousand chararcters of which 17 thousand are blank lines;
- cashing CLOBs in memory will consume big chunk of data buffers which will affect performance;
- to manipulate CLOBs you need PL/SQL anonymous block or procedure;
- bind variables cannot be assigned CLOB value;
- dynamic SQL cannot use CLOBs;
- temp tables don't work very well with CLOBs;
- fuzzy logic search on CLOBs is ineffective;
- not all ODBC drivers support Oracle CLOBs
- UNION, MINUS, INTERSECT don't work with CLOBs
I have not delt with CLOB data type in the past, so I am hoping to hear from you of any possible issues/hastles we may encounter?

Some of the concerns brought up during discussion were:
- having to store CLOBs in separate tablespace;They can be stored inline too. Depends on requirements.
- applications, such Toad require changing defaults settings to display CLOBs in the grid. Default value is not to display them;Toad is a developer tool so that shouldn't matter. What should matter is how you display the data to end users etc. but that will depend on the interface. Some can handle CLOBs and others not. Again, it depends on the requirements.
- applications that build web page with CLOBs will be struggling to fit 18 thousand chararcters of which 17 thousand are blank lines;Why would they struggle? 18,000 characters is only around 18k in file size, that's not that big to a web page.
- cashing CLOBs in memory will consume big chunk of data buffers which will affect performance;Who's caching them in memory? What are you planning on doing with these CLOBs? There's no real reason they should impact performance any more than anything else, but it depends on your requirements as to how you plan to use them.
- to manipulate CLOBs you need PL/SQL anonymous block or procedure;You can manipulate CLOBs in SQL too, using the DBMS_LOB package.
- bind variables cannot be assigned CLOB value;Are you sure?
- dynamic SQL cannot use CLOBs;Yes it can. 11g supports CLOBs for EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements and pre 11g you can use the DBMS_SQL package with CLOB's split into a VARCHAR2S structure.
- temp tables don't work very well with CLOBs;What do you mean "don't work well"?
- fuzzy logic search on CLOBs is ineffective;Seems like you're pulling information from various sources without context. Again, it depends on your requirements as to how you are going to use the CLOB's
- not all ODBC drivers support Oracle CLOBs not all, but there are some. Again, it depends what you want to achieve.
- UNION, MINUS, INTERSECT don't work with CLOBsTrue.
I have not delt with CLOB data type in the past, so I am hoping to hear from you of any possible issues/hastles we may encounter?You may have more hassle if you "need" to accept more than 4000 characters and you are splitting it into seperate columns or rows, when a CLOB would do it easily.
It seems as though you are trying to find all the negative aspects of CLOBs and ignoring all the positive aspects, and also ignoring the negative aspects of not using CLOB's.
Without context you're assumptions are just that, assumptions, so nobody can tell you if it will be right or wrong to use them. CLOB's do have their uses, just as XMLTYPE's have their uses etc. If you're using them for the right reasons then great, but if you're ignoring them for the wrong reasons then you'll suffer.
