Create Index On User-defined Field

Good Day
Experts:
Yesterday Neftali helped me with the following code to add an index to a field. Now I need to figure out how to add multiple fields to one key. Is this possible programmatically?
Private Sub addUserTableKeys(ByVal strTableName As String, ByVal strKeyFieldName As String, ByVal strKeyName As String, Optional ByVal bolUnique As Boolean = True)
        Try
            Dim bFlagFirst As Boolean = True
            Dim oUserKeysMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserKeysMD
            oUserKeysMD = msboCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserKeys) ' Set table name and key name
            oUserKeysMD.TableName = strTableName
            oUserKeysMD.KeyName = strKeyName
            If bFlagFirst = True Then
                bFlagFirst = False ' Add method not used for first element
            Else
                oUserKeysMD.Elements.Add() ' Add item to Elements collection
            End If
            oUserKeysMD.Elements.ColumnAlias = strKeyFieldName ' Set column's alias
            oUserKeysMD.Unique = IIf(bolUnique, SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum.tYES, SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum.tNO) ' whether key is unique or not
            oUserKeysMD.Add() ' Add the key
        Catch ex As Exception
            msboApplication.StatusBar.SetText("Fail to create data!" & vbCrLf & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
Thanks,
EJD

Hi Ed
Try something like this function
    Private Sub addUserTableKeys(ByVal strTableName As String, ByVal strKeyFieldName As String, ByVal strKeyName As String, Optional ByVal bolUnique As Boolean = True)
        Try
            Dim bFlagFirst As Boolean = True
            Dim oUserKeysMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserKeysMD
            oUserKeysMD = msboCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserKeys) ' Set table name and key name
            oUserKeysMD.TableName = strTableName
            oUserKeysMD.KeyName = strKeyName
            If bFlagFirst = True Then
                bFlagFirst = False ' Add method not used for first element
            Else
                oUserKeysMD.Elements.Add() ' Add item to Elements collection
            End If
            oUserKeysMD.Elements.ColumnAlias = strKeyFieldName ' Set column's alias
            oUserKeysMD.Unique = IIf(bolUnique, SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum.tYES, SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum.tNO) ' whether key is unique or not
            oUserKeysMD.Add() ' Add the key
        Catch ex As Exception
            msboApplication.StatusBar.SetText("Fail to create data!" & vbCrLf & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
now, all you need to pass is a couple of parameters to the function like this ..
Call addUserTableKeys("TAB1", "PP_Field1", "KEY1")
hope it helps

Creating Index on user defined function

Does anyone know if you can create an index on a user defined, or system defined function like LOWER or UPPER in Oracle 8i?

According to Steve Yam's previous post:
DO you turn on the QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED within session or instance? You need to
have this to utilize function based index in query.
Besides, Oracle may still use FULL TABLE SCAN if your table size is not big enough for
using index search. Determine number of blocks occupied by the table and determine
whether you really gain from the index.

User-defined fields in cost calculation

Hi, I'm working with process order in customer service process.
I would like to make a cost precalculation based on a user-defined field.
To let you know.
I created a new user-defined field.
I affected to it a new parameter ID so that this user-defined field value can be used in formulas.
I created a new formula with my parameter ID.
This is allowed for costs.
Now in my work center I defined these data for costing
price for pre calculation is defined for IN9020 and cost center.
Now in my service order I fill the required field.
I would have thought that according to formula, SAP would use this value (6 PC through the formula) to calculate costs.
This is not the case.
Did anybody already use this?

Dear Maniaba
We have used user fields in task list to capture quantity in terms of nos & its weight for each operation. This we used as a work around to capture the repair jobs quantity & tonnage. While mapping repair of a particular machine with out any reference to material(that is we have not created them as serialised material as in the case of refurbishment) we have created task list for its repair and user wanted to capture the quantity of repair (say how many & also its weight) so we have maintained the tonnage per 1 no in these fields. later when order is being created user selects the task list & changes the quantity field then we have developed report where we calculate the total tonnage of that job & also no of items repaired.

Multi Value User Defined field on OIM user form

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement where i need to assign multiple resources to user as per access policy. These resources should be assign by virtue of some role (custom attribute as of now). The specific requirement is that one user may have multiple roles (and hence resources) and all these values should capture in any user defined field. As the requirement contains multiple Roles so we have to create multi-value user defined field for User form to capture all these role values under single attribute. Does OIM provides any such multi-value field OOTB (lookup, drop down--any customize way we can make them multivalue)?

He's right. Multi Valued attributes on the User Profile are not available in OIM. If you want to do this, and you have a finite number of possible roles, you can create UDFs for each and map a checkbox or something to it if the user has that value. Then base your acccess policies off those.

Ceartion of User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES

Hi Experts,
I want to create User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.But while creating the UDF from User Defined Field-Management unable to find the table for it.Write now My Client are using SAP B1 2007 Ptach-08.Is there any way out to create user defined field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.
Plz help me out on this issue.
with regards,
Pankaj K and Kamlesh N

Pankaj,
When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

Want to add a prepopulated User defined field in create user form

Hi,
I have an entity adapter which will perform a pre-insert check on the user group of the user logged in to the oim.
If the logged in user belongs to a group say "IT ADMIN", another validation check will be imposed on the create user action performed by him.
If not from "IT ADMIN" group then create user action will be handled normally.
Now the catch is, how would I determine the group name of the user logged in from the adapter code I have written?
I decided to keep an User defined field "Created by" in the create user form which will be non-editable and auto-prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user. This way I will be able to map the variable field from the User definition drop down list while mapping the adapter variables.
May you please guide me how I can achieve this?
Would highly appreciate suggestion/inputs.

Thanks for all your replies!
However I am still in dark.
I tried to retrieve the groupname using tcUSerOperationsIntf. But iit tries to retrieve the group name of the user getting created.
Please note, the group name I want is not of the user yet to get created, but that of the user creating it i.e., the logged in user.
My requirement is to have this created_by field in the create user form already prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user.
So that I can put a check based on this field value in the netity adapter.
If the group is IT ADMIN then proceed with the validation.
Else no validation required.
In short, I want to know,how can I auto-prepopulate a UDF in Create USer form?

Hai
Follow the bellow steps for creating User Defined Field Exit
Step by step procedure for creating Field Exits
There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
Step 3: Create Field Exit
Step 4: Create Function Module
Step 5: Code Function Module
Step 6: Activate Function Module
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
Step 1: Determine Data Element
- Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
- An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
Go the appropriate screen.
Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
Press F1 for field-level help.
Click on the Technical info pushbutton (or press F9) on the help dialog box.
On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
- The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
- You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
- From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
Step 3: Create Field Exit
- From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
- Enter the data element name and click the Continue pushbutton.
- Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data elements field exit.
Step 4: Create Function Module
- You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the Continue pushbutton.
- In the Function module field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
- You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
- The first function module for a data elements field exit must be created without an identifier.
- To create the function module, click on the Create pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press F5.
- After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing Enter, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
- Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
Step 5: Code Function Module
- From the function modules attributes screen, click on the Source code pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
- Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
- Remember that field exits function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
- You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
Step 6: Activate Function Module
- After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
- Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
- At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
- You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
- When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
- At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
- Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
- This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
- To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the Assign prog./screen pushbutton.
- In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
- In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the Fld. Exit field.
- If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
- If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
- The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
- Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
- After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to Active and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers

Create User-defined field for Marketing Documents

I need to create a User-Defined field for Marketing Documents under Title and Rows.
I need to do it via .NET instead of manually go into SAP to create it.
Does anyone can give me idea on how to do this?

Hi David,
There are examples of how to do this in the SDK samples (look for MetaDataOperations project in the DI samples).
There are also examples in the SDK help. Here's one:
Private Sub AddUserField()
'// The UserFieldsMD represents a meta-data object that allows you
'// to addremove fields from tables or change the fields' characteristics
    Dim oUserFieldsMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'// In any meta-data operation there should be no other object "alive"
'// but the meta-data object, otherwise the operation will fail.
'// This restriction is intended to prevent a collisions.
    '// The meta-data object needs to be initialized with a
    '// regular UserFields object
    Set oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(oUserFields)
    '// When adding user tables or fields to the SAP Business One database
    '// use a prefix identifying your partner name space
    '// this will prevent collisions between the various partners add-ons
    '// SAP's name space prefix is "BE_"
    '// Set the Fields' mandatory properties
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "OCRD" '// BP table
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = "BE_UserField1"
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = "A user field"
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha '// am alphanumeric type
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 20
    '// Add the field to the table
    oUserFieldsMD.Add
End Sub
Kind Regards,
Owen

Can i create user-defined fields that are checkboxes?

I need to create a set of user defined fields on Activities that are a checkboxes. I cant see any options in the manage user fields dialog to set the field as a checkbox, the only options are alphanumeric, Datetime, Units & Totals etc.
Can user defined fields be added that appear as checkboxes? if so, how do i do it?

What you need will not be available by UDF. You need SDK programming for any Check Boxes. However, you may use predefined list for UDF to imitate part of functions of the check box.
Thanks,
Gordon

Creating User Defined Fields via DI API

Hello,
Has anyone tried creating User Defined Fields via DI without direct database intervention ? My add on relies on some UDF's that have to be created on install.
Thank you

I regularly use the UI API to do this. You can find several discussions on this forum. I have not put this in my installation program, but I use UserFieldsMD in the DI API and a CSV file from Excel to store the information about the fields.

Confirmation of User defined fields on CO11N

Dear All,
Can anybody tell me how to confirm user defined field during operation confirmation of an order. I have created a user field key and assigned in the operation detail screen in routing. Is it required to include a freely defined screen for CO11N in customizing or any other setting is there.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

<b>Define Customer-Specific Detail Areas for Single Screen Entry</b>The following enhancement is available for production orders:
CONFPP07 define detail areas for single screen entry
With this enhancement you can define your own detail areas (screens), which can be issued for single screen entry of time ticket confirmations.
Enhancement CONFPP07 contains the following enhancement components:
Function module exits
EXIT_SAPLCORU_S_100 Transfer data from SAPLCORU_S to customer-defined screen
EXIT_SAPLCORU_S_101 Return data from customer-defined screen to SAPLCORU_S
Display documentation
Screen areas
Screen areas that you can define yourself are available.
Activities
1. Create the enhancement
To do so, create a new project, or use an existing project.
2. Activate the project.
Your enehancement only takes effect after you have activated it.
Further Notes
Enhancememnts, as opposed to modifications, are fundamentally independent of releases since they are not made in the SAP original, but in a name space that is reserved for customers.
you have to create a customer defined screen and attach as in the link. Add the Freely definable detail screen in OPK0. Confirm the user defined fields.

Issue while deleting user defined field in oim 11.1.1.3

All,
Made a mistake while creating user defined field called "Profile for" (loing to OIM -> advanced -> configuration -> User configuration). We are trying to delete it. It appears to get deleted from user attributes screen. But when we run LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation Task we get the following error below:
oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ProcessLDAPReconDataException: oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ReconEventCreationException: Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Profile for - LDAPUser object does not exists for resource object
Is any thing else need to be deleted adn cleaned up?
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

How do i check what resource object the recon task is running against. here is what i found so far.
I cannot find LDAPUser resource object when i query Resource Management -> Resource Objects in design console. Same thing with Manage Resource and search (here i only find Xellerate User, Xellerate Organiztion, USERS_GTC, and Installation) in OIM advanced administration menu.
The LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation job itself has the following parameters (batch size, last change number, OIM employee type, OIM User organization name, OIM user type)
I also decompiled LDAPUserChangesReconTask and it is looking for LDAPUser metadata from MDS directly.
Prasad.

User defined field in SD and its link to Value field in COPA (??)

Dear All,
We have created one "Z" field i.e. user defined field and its in VBRP Table. This is a quantity field. to update the values in this field we have used an exit in sales and distribution module. Now, by defining this exit values are correctly populated in VPRP table on line item basis.
Requirement here is we need to get this field in COPA, for same i have carried out the quantity field assignment to value field (KE4M).
Even after this configuration profitability segment is not updated.
Regards,
Sayujya
Edited by: sayu on Mar 15, 2010 10:13 AM

In the past I did something similar and had to use function module EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001 in enhancement COPA0002 to populate the field. To use this exit you'll first need to add a user exit id to your valuation strategy (transaction KE4U). The help on the function module is pretty good, but if you run into a problem let me know.
thanks,
