Changing standard or Custom attributes

After I upgraded to 7.4.00070 yesterday, today I’m not able
to modify the “standard or Custom attributes” I stopped all scan activate but
still I am not able to make any changes. Has anyone had this problem?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi Raj,
The main difference is seen by the workflow number.
Standard workflows start with numbers like 1,2 etc...
e.g: WS14000002
Custom workflows start with the prefix set by the basis team in SWU3 configuration.
The prefixs generally start with 8 or 9, so any worklfow starting with WS8 or WS9 would be a custom workflow.
eg: WS95100010
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Saumya

How to changes standard sap label description

Hi !
I heard that there is a way ton change standard sap label description.
Please tell me how to do this ?
Thanks
moshe

Hi Solman
You can do that using the method i have mentioned in
my earlier post to change the descrptions. Mostly these
will be used for Product Attributes in Material Master
to give meaningful names as per our business. You can
find the same if you go through the documentation
following the below path
IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> System Modifications ->
Create New Fields( without Condition Technique).
Here check the documentation of "Reserve Fields in the
Customer Master Record"
Hope that can help you understand better.

Adv. Pricing: Custom Attribute mapped to Std. Volume's ITEM_QUANTITY field

Advanced Pricing: A Custom Attribute is mapped to Std. Volume's ITEM_QUANTITY field, to be able to capture a user-defined volume onto the Standard Quantity field via. Attribute Mapping. However the expected behavior is not achieving. Still the PTE prices if off the OM/ASO's Quantity field, and not based on the number that goes into the attribute field.
PTE= 'Order Fulfillment', Context Type = 'Pricing Context', Context = 'VOLUME', Code = 'ITEM_QUANTITY'.
Attribute Mapping Method = ATTRIBUTE MAPPING.
Click on Attribute Mapping button
Application Name=Advanced Pricing
Line Level User Source Type=PL/SQL API
User Value String= OE_ORDER_PUB.G_LINE_REC.ATTRIBUTE10
When I create the Sales Order in OM, at the line level after entering the item, I entered a number in attribute10, then
also a value in the standard quantity field, and Save. The item had price
breaks defined in the pricelist. But the price returned was based on the value
in the standard Quantity field, not the value in attribute10. Even when I
reprice the line (Actions-->Price Line), there is no change.
Expected behavior is to get the Price off the Attribute that mapped to the 'ITEM_QUANTITY' field (which is a standard/seeded attribute).
Does anyone made such expected behavior to work (without being used with a Customer Price API)?

can someone pls reply?
Thanks!

Custom Attributes in UWL - No data

Hello,
I am trying to add custom attributes Vendor and Currency to my UWL iview.
I have defined custom attributes in my Item Type as follows:

I have checked the task TS92900044 in the backend from Tcode PFTC and this task has the attributes Vendor, Currency in its container
<b>PROBLEM: The columns appear but without any data.</b>
Any pointers?
Thanks and Regards,
Reena

Hi Prabhakar,

It would be great if you can share , how this issue got resolved for you. hence would be useful for everybody.
Thanks in advance!!!

HTML 5 and Spry.. Making custom attributes valid

The HTML 5 spec is still a "Editors Draft" but doesn't mean browser haven't started intergating it. While i was reading through the specification i noticed that HTML allows you to specify custom attributes on elements (see: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#embedding-custom-non-visible-data ). We all know Spry also uses custom attributes for the Spry dataset. These are typically prefixed with spry:action_here=""
At this point its not valid HTML even though, when serving your page as xhtml it should be valid.. as xml allows you to specify custom attributes as well. But that aside, with the release of HTML5 getting closer and closer we could make Spry attibutes valid if we started prefixing all custom attributes with data-
For example:
spry:region="ds1" => data-spry:region="ds1"
spry:if="0 == false" => data-spry:if="0 == false"
A switch to the data- prefix would require very little editing of the existing spry files. The only thing users would have to do, is switch to the HTML5 doc type declaring to make it valid. As this doc type has backwards compatiblity and do not force IE6 in quirksmode i feel this is better alternative to externalizing the custom attributes or waiting for browser to support extended doctypes.
So i wonder what you opinions are on this . Is Spry ready for HTML5 and is HTML5 ready for Spry ?

Am I excited about the upcoming HTML5? YES! But not because it validates our Spry attributes.
Spry, if used properly, already works well and the fact that it is not validated by W3C can be regarded as a curious fact. Sort of like a driver of mine that has not been validated by Microsoft; without the driver my hardware does not work. So what do I do?
Well for some people its not a problem that the pages do not validate. But there companies and clients who value validation. Its understandable because people are overhyping it. In this case, it would allow to validate out of the box, without any changes to your code. Making it easier for starting developers and create a W3C valid document.
I am excited about the new HTML5 elements that will be introduced, hopefully making life easier.
Well doesn't really make a life easier. I'm currently creating my online resume in HTML and its harder... Normally you would just use divs for almost every layout wrapper now you got to choose between aside, section, article, details, hgroup, header etc. So much elements to choose from, but using them wisely is the hard part.
I am not excited about the fact that HTML5, being backward compatible, will come with the deficiencies of its predecesors
I am confused about the near simultaneous release of XHTML2. Where is the logic? Cannot the regulators and validators agree on a standard? I guess not. Even the browser-producers cannot agree on a standard. Remember the confusion with audio and video tapes?
All of this confusion only adds weight to my argument, who cares about W3C validation or Microsoft validation? if it works it works!
Some people like it strict some people don't, for performance reasons i actually choose for the loose version. It allows me to build a more compressed file .
Video codec wars are fun to.. Ogg vs MPEG. Using flash as fallback or silver light for unsupported browsers, or just generate multiple formats.. Hard to choose.. I personally hope h.264 codec will be used because its quality wise its much better. But we will see what the browser vendors will decide.

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

How to get changes of a custom PL/SQL package updated in ISG?

Hi All,
I need some help on how to change a custom PL/SQL package in ISG integration repository:
I already uploaded my custom PL/SQL package to the integration repositoy some time ago. Now I have made some changes to PL/SQL record/table types defined in the package (added some fields and removed some others). These changed record/table types are used by a procedure I already uploaded to the integration repository. When regenerating the WSDL for my PL/SQL package in integration repository I get an error that the wrapper for respective procedure can't be found. When checking up the SQL types that were automatically generated (by JPublisher) for corresponding PL/SQL types, these generated SQL types are invalid...
So it seems that in one case JPublisher generated an empty SQL type (with no attributes). In another case JPublisher generated the SQL type with old attribute list, so it didn't adopt the changes of corresponding PL/SQL type in the package...
Can anybody tell me how to get the changes of a cusotm PL/SQL package updated in ISG? Or is there any possibility to first remove a whole PL/SQL package from the ISG integration repository (and getting rid of all old automatically generated SQL types), so that I can newly upload my PL/SQL package afterwards?
Thanks
Konrad

Thanks Daniel, for your reply...
(-> for info: I'm a colleague of Konrad...)
Yes, we used a higher version number - and the upload of iLDT file works fine...
But, the problem occured when generating the WSDL...
However, I think we have found an approach of how to get the changes of a custom PL/SQL package updated correctly in ISG:
1. Save a copy of PL/SQL package and then delete it in the database
2. Regenerate the WSDL for PL/SQL package in ISG (seems that all atutomatically generated JPub wrappers and SQL types are also deleted)
3. Restart all processes
4. Create the changed version of PL/SQL package in the database again
5. upload of iLDT
6. Regenerate the WSDL for PL/SQL package in ISG

How to display success message when data is changed in the custom tab in MM

Hi,
I have added a new custom data tab in the MM01/MM02/MM03 transactions. Whenever I do changes to fields in the custom tab in MM02 transaction, and no changes in the standard tabs, I will get a message stating "No Changes Made".
But if I do changes in the standard tabs, it works as usual with display of message "Changes to particular material has been done.
Please let me know, if anyone of you know, how to display the success message if the changes to the custom tab is done.
Thanks in advance,
sudhanva

Hi Sudhanva,
The exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_0001 is a function exit that you can use for custom validation but not to add custom tab/screen.
But the message issued by SAP is not related to this Function Exit.
If you have used a Screen Exit, then there must be some Function Exits also in the same Enhancement using which you can assign the value of custom fields to/from the standard structure. Thus when the value of any custom field is changed the system can understand that the some changes have been changed and will not issue the message.
In case you have used a BADI, there can be other methods in the BADi using whcih you can assign the value of custom fields to/from the standard structure. This might also prevent the message from being displayed.
I could try giving you further details if you can provide the name of the Enhancement/BADi that you used to add the additional tab.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Abhisek.

Re-ordering custom attributes usind the load utility

Is there a way to re-order the values in a custom attribute using the load utility? Do anyone have any suggestions on an automated process vs having the move each value individually?

Unless something has changed it has always been a pain to reorder attribute members

Change Default Document Size Attribute

I understand that I can make a custom attribute that displays the size in KB, MB, etc -
But I want to know how to edit the default Document Size attribute - surely that is possible?

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.
1. Changing the size (no document is open) in my German UI of InDesign CC-2014.2:
2. Double click and the result is according to the settings I made:

UWL refresh problem for ABAP BOR custom attributes

Hi all,
we are facing an issue with an UWL iView. We wanted to display custom attributes from an ABAP Business Object (ABAP_BOR).
The feature is working but when an end-user receives a new task in his UWL view, he needs to click on the refresh button in order to have all the custom attributes correctly displayed.
We have only the problem with custom attributes, for the columns containing standard workflow decision task attributes, the data are displayed directly without the need to push the refresh button.
We are on EP 7 SPS11 and the back-end is an ECC6 version.
We have followed the methodology described in the How to configure and customize the Universal Worklist pdf document:
ABAP BOR
<CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR"
objectIdHolder="externalObjectId"
objectType="FORMABSENC"
cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="COSTCENTER" type="string"
displayName="Cost Center"></Attribute>
<Attribute name="FIRSTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"
displayName="First day of absence"></Attribute>
<Attribute name="LASTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"
displayName="Last day of absence"></Attribute>
</CustomAttributeSource>
Do you have an idea where this problem come from and how it could be solved?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Sébastien BODSON

Hi Chintan,
This parameter has no impact on the problem we face. I found an exact description of our problem on SAP Help portal, in the UWL pages:
CustomAttributes, CustomAttributeSource and Attribute
Extract from SAP Help portal:
Every item type can have custom attributes defined, which can be filled from Business Object or Provider Data Containers like the Business Workflow Container or the Alert Container. These attribute sources are defined within the CustomAttributeSourcetag, which contains information on which attribute connector brings the custom attributes, how to identify these custom attributes in the provider system and how long the cache is valid.
Note that once an item arrives, these custom attributes are retrieved in additional calls to the backend. For performance reasons, in order to minimize responses times to the end user, this may happen while the item is displayed to the end user - causing such attributes to be empty initially and only to appear in subsequent requests.
The display names of the attributes for column headers and labels are defined in the display attributes of the default view of the item type.
Does anyone know a workaround in order to have directly the complete information displayed?
