Complex Valuehelp without roundtrip on value selection

Hello
we currendly use a custom made F4-Help in a wd-application in a huge table. The F4 displaies the suggested values with additionally information by setting the background collor for each value.
The Problem is, that with selecting a value a roundtrip is triggered in the backend. This is a problem because this is not neccessary in our application but it worsens the performance significant.
I know that in an earlyer release (we have SAP_BASIS release 740) it was possible, even default, that the roundtrip didn't got triggered. (wd_this->wd_get_api( )->register_on_enter_for_f4( register_on_enter = abap_true ).)
I tried to use this statement to set the value to abap_false but this doesn't work. (No error, but no change in behavier either)
An other possibility would be to use a dropdown instead of the f4. But as far as i know it isn't possible to set the backgrundcolor of elements of the valuelist.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hello
The roundtrip after a value selection in a F4-help can't be disabled.
We now work around this problem by using the auto-completion (value_suggest).
So now the user can open the f4-help (same problem as bevore), but he also gets a value_help while tiping whitout a roundtrip.
Only setback here is, that we have the requirement, that the allowed values differ from line to line in our table. This is not possible to do with value suggest, because here the value gets mapped to the nodeinfo.
So what we did, was alloing all possible values in each line, and just add some description to the values.
Not perfect, but....

How to avoid roundtrip to server on value select in dropdown box in ALV cel

Dear Experts,
I have WD ALV table where user edits values in the cels using dropdown by key element.
Then after edit he saves whole table. When value is changed in dropdown box the roundtrip to server occurs and it takes noticable time for every cell. My dropdown lists are fixed and are the same for all rows. It is not pleasant user experience and is annoying for user.
Is there a way to disable this roundtrip for each value selection for each cell and transfer all the data for whole ALV table only when I save whole table (separate button "Save")?
Help very much appreciated.

A lot of enterprises, however, actively avoid systems which are locked down to a particular server for very legitimate reasons. If my data center dies in the middle of the night, I sure don't want to have to call your mobile phone so that you can get to a computer, log in to the office network, and get me a new key so that I can finish my emergency failover. If I've got dozens of applications, I absolutely don't want to do that with dozens of different vendors.
It sounds like your problem, though, isn't that users are installing your software on multiple computers it's that they are accessing functionality they haven't licensed. That is generally a much easier problem to solve and doesn't require you to lock anything down to a particular machine. You can create a table LICENSED_CONTENT, for example,
CREATE TABLE licensed_content (
client_id NUMBER,
content_type VARCHAR2(30),
key RAW(128)
)In this case, KEY is, say, a hash (using the DBMS_CRYPTO or DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT packages if you'd like) of the client_id, content_type, and a bit of salt (i.e. a fixed string that only you know). When you sell a license to manage diamond content, you provide a script that inserts the appropriate row in the LICENSED_CONTENT table. When your application starts up, it reads the LICENSED_CONTENT table and verifies the hash before allowing users to access that type of content. This allows legitimate customers to move the software from one system to another but prevents them from accessing new functionality without a new license.

How to run the variable exit without calling the variable selection screen?

Hi all
I have a query with 2 variables 0P_PRQUA (Previous Calendar Quarter (SAP Exit)) and ZCCDAT02.
ZCCDAT02 is a Key Date variable that is derived based on the last day of the quarter that is entered in 0P_PRQUA. The exit code works correctly when calling up the variable screen and ZCCDAT02 is derived properly.
The problem is that 0P_PRQUA is set to "Can be changed in query navigation". So if the user changes the value of the quarter the exit is not triggered and the value of ZCCDAT02 does not change.
Is it possible to trigger the exit or is there another way to do it? Ideas would be appreciated. I am trying to create a Web Template with a Dropbox box for the Quarter.
Query is written in BW 3.X.
Regards
Chami

Hi guys
Just to restate the requirement. I want the user to be able to change the value of the variable, WITHOUT calling the variable selection screen.
I want the user to be able to change the value of the quarter by using a dropdown box from within the web template. Once that is selected I want the value of ZCCDAT02 to be derived from the new value of the quarter.

Chami

Plot a chart dynamically based on the values selected

Hi All,
I have some requirement like this i want to plot a chart . The chart should change dynamically based on target_name and date. What type of UI should I use ? I tried using multiselect or shuttle for choosing the target_name and date picker tool for date once i choose all this the chart should appear. Can I have a custom button called submit so once all the values are entered it plots chart ? Please help me out with our ideas.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Using the dependent value sets you can govern the values which can be selected based on a specific value selected in a particular segment. Example if Country name is selected in segment 1 then specific states names as per the country selected can be displayed in segment 2.
As per the requirement described you want to enable different fields based on the value selected in segment1, currently there is no standard mechanism available to enable/disable fields based on a value and you will have to do an extension/customization to meet this requirement.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Error message: "Attempt to capture video without a video device selected."

When trying to log and capture, I'm receiving the following error message: "Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presents and try again."
In Capture Presents under DV NTSC 48 kHz it says "WARNING: Video Device DV Video is missing."
An attempt to edit the Capture Preset gives me QuickTime Video Setting Digitzer options of only "[missing] DV Video."
This happened only after I upgraded to Tiger. I know Log and Capture is recognizing the camera because it's showing the timecodes, but not the image. Any help would be most appreciated.

This reminds me of a problem with the QuickTime install. Try this - remove all the QuickTime associated .pkg files from /Library/Receipts, then go to http://www.quicktime.com and download the full installer and do a complete install.

Report model - number of values selected in DDL param

Good afternoon,
I have created a report model that references Teradata views, and I am using this model to populate several datasets in a Report Builder report. One dataset returns actual results, and the other datasets are used to populate available values for multivalued
parameters.
The issue I'm encountering is that some of my parameters return a large number (tens or hundreds of thousands) of selectable values. When clicking "select all", I'm getting an error, since the concatenated list of values exceeds
the length limit. However, since I'm working with a report model, I cannot use T-SQL workarounds such as custom "<ALL>" values/handling. I also need to limit my result set using these values as parameters, not filters, since I want
the intensive processing handled in the DB server, not the app server.
Is there any possible way to accommodate this? As an example, I have a large (200k+) list of products, belonging to about 7,000 brands. I want both my product number and brand lists as multivalue parameters...I might want to run
the report for all products and all brands (returning 200k+ rows), or choose "select all" in the products list, but only pick a few brands (or vice versa). Cascading parameters (with the first parameter limiting the next set of values)
is not an option since there are many of these parameters that have too many values for the allowed limit (i.e. even my brand list generated the error when I choose "select all" and only picked a few products).
I have searched literally dozens of forums and tech sites, all to no avail thus far. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...thank you!

I have a SSRS Report with 4 multi-select parameters.
The customer has requested that they would like the drill-through to open in a new window.
I am using Java Script for that purpose.
However, there is a limit on how long a URL may be.
Is there a way in a SSRS report to limit the number of values in a multi-select parameter selected?
Thanks.
One workaround is to add a internal parameter which will count the number of selected values and will allow the navigation only if the count falls below the threshold.
For this you can use an expression like below for setting the internal parameter
Len(Join(Parameters!MultiValuedParameter.Value,","))-Replace(Join(Parameters!MultiValuedParameter.Value,","),",","")
Then use expression like below for the jump to url/report property
IIf(Val(Parameters!HiddenParameter.Value)<=<your thresholdvalue>,<report url>,Nothing)
You can also add a notification textbox on top which will show a message like "Report navigation not possible due to too many values selected" and keep it hidden by default. Then based on above parameter value you can make it visible
ie make hidden property like below
IIf(Val(Parameters!HiddenParameter.Value)<=<your thresholdvalue>,False,True)

Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

can we generate one report tab which filters
with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

Hi Shrinidhi ,
It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

Hi,
Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
Is there a way to do it.
I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Sri

As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

How do I default a multi-select to have all values selected

Hi all,
I have a report (standard, not interactive - for various reasons) and I have a number of 'search' fields that the use can use to fulter the results shown. One of these fields is a multi-select list which allows the users to select multiple values at the same time. This is working fine.
My problem is in setting the default for the multi-select list to have all values selected (either when the page is first opened or when the user clicks a 'reset' button).
The multi-select query is:
select
     lv1.description d, lv1.lookup_code r
from
     tpa_adm_lookup_types lt1,
     tpa_adm_lookup_values lv1
where
     lv1.lookup_type_id = lt1.lookup_type_id
and lt1.lookup_type = 'RELEASE_PHASES'
and     lv1.delete_flag = 'N'
order by 1
how do I get it to default to everything selected?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi Andy,
Yes it is a dynamic list so a fixed default is no good.
I have built the field with a source (when session state is null) of:
with data as (
select lookup_code, row_number() over(order by lv1.description) rn,count(*) over () cnt
from tpa_adm_lookup_values lv1,
     tpa_adm_lookup_types lt1
where lv1.lookup_type_id = lt1.lookup_type_id
and lt1.lookup_type = 'RELEASE_PHASES'
and lv1.delete_flag = 'N' )
select ltrim(sys_connect_by_path(lookup_code,':'),':') catvalues
from data
   where rn = cnt
   start with rn = 1
   connect by prior rn = rn-1;which works but I was hoping ApEx had a cleaner solution.

Reporting: Multi-value select prompt

Multi-value select prompt: Need to verify if there is a limit to the number of items/size in a drop down list or if there are selected value limitations.

Hi Rick,
To clarify, which type of parameters will you be using, Dynamic or Static? If you're using dynamic parameters (LOV's or Business Views) there is a limit on the display values, but I am not aware of a limit on the input limit for multiple values.
If you're using a dynamic parameter which will use an LOV or Business View the registry key value to increase can be found:

Cond display of drop down based on value selected in another drop down form

Hi,
I have a requirement in my app in which I need to be able to conditionally display the values in the drop down down list based on the values selected in another drop down list...
Currently I have 2 drop downs.
First drop down is a list of Jacks from 2000 to 4999...
Second Drop down consists Chassis ranging from 1 to 900..
So when a user selects any jack between 2000 - 2999, in the second drop down only Chassis ranging from 1 to 300 should appear.
when anything between 3000 - 3999 is selected, Chassis ranging from 301 to 600 should appear..
and for jacks between 4000 - 4999, Chassis ranging from 601 to 900 should appear in the second drop down.
Can someone please provide me pointers on how to do this..
Thanks,
Nehal

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your response..
Here are the queries for my select lists.
P62_JACK
select list query for Jacks:
select JACK_NUM display_value, JACK_NUM return_value
from CTS_LIST_OF_JACKS
order by 1
P62_CHASSIS_BLADE_PORT
select NETWORKPORT display_value, NETWORKPORT return_value
from CTS_LIST_OF_NETWORKPORTS
order by NETWORKPORT_ID
jacks range from 2000 to 4000
chassis_blade_port ranges from 100 to 900...
Can you please let me know how to do it..
Thanks,
Nehal

Contents of second prompt list based on value selected in first prompt?

I need to display two prompts: "Product Family" and "Products". When the user selects a product family, I need the list of products to be filtered to the selected product family. In other words, the contents of the second prompt's list needs to be based on the value selected in the first prompt. Can this be done in Web Intelligence?

Hello Waters,
Yes, this can be done in web intelligence if you apply cascading prompts at universe level
or
Yes, the second way is use element link in report block between 2 tables one for product family and one for product list ( you don't need prompts in this case...)

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much - it works!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

Issue with Blank Value selection in Dropdown List

Hello Experts,
                    I am facing one strange issue in Adobe Forms Drop Down(DD) list. Foll. is the list data which contains a several item data & blank value. After item data selection user must be able to select blank value in case he doesn't want to set the value to Order Unit as shown in screen shot below.
                              Now my issue is after any of the item values selection (for ex. BAG - BAG) user is not able to set the blank value again at my client system. However its working fine in mine. When checked client is using Adobe Reader 8.0 which is same as mine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Steve,
               Thanks for the reply. We have a blank value in the DD as a list item, where key & description is empty space. As i posted above user must be able to select that blank item if doesn't want any value for Order Unit. This selection is working fine in my sytem, but my client facing the issue where he can not select the blank value from DD.
Thanks,
Amit
