Create LOV's for all columns at the time of folder creation

Hi,
I know we can automatically create the LOV's for all the columns of a database table when creating the folder in the EUL. Is this a good practice or should I create LOV's on demand? What is the disadvantage of creating more LOV's than needs to be used other than the disk storage? I also know it is not a good idea to have an LOV on a field that has a lot of values. I am tempted not to create the LOV's in the beginning, but then it becomes a high maintenance issue if I have to come back and create many LOV's later. Thank you for your input.

Yes, it is not a good idea to create LOVs for all the columns. LOVS should be created only for the columns where parameters will be used. More the number of LOVs, slower the response in opening up your Discoverer reports and if you are using Disco Viewer, the page might take a long time to open up and frustrate the users.
Also it is a good practise to have LOVs defined on the lookup tables or where there are distinct values in the table and not from where these values are used in the table.

  • F110 creates payment IDocs for all payments except the largest payment

    When executing a payment run, all payments are listed as successful.  However, one of the payments does not generate an IDoc to be sent to the bank.  (All other IDocs are successfully created)  No error message of any kind is generated and the payment run successfully posts a payment document for the missing IDoc.  The missing IDoc should pay for 1845 invoices all within a single ACH payment to the vendor.  How can I find out what happened and how to fix it?

    Hi,
    Please clarify:
    1) Are you using a separate payment method for this vendor?
    2) Is the payment method used for the first time?
    3) Are you using the same house bank for this vendor, that is used for other vendors in this payment method?
    In case you are using a separate payment method for this vendor, and this payment method is used for the first time, please check the forms assigned to the payment method at country level (it should be RFFOEDI1) and also the forms at company code level should be compatible for EDI paments (F110_EDI_01). Also check whether the payment method is assigned in EDI comaptibel payment method in house bank (for the partner profile)
    Finally check, whether the payment method used for this vendor is included in the print variant.
    Let me know in case any further clarification is needed

  • Method_opt = 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE REPEAT'

    Hi all Gurus,
    We have a script to take statitics (see below), it runs every day and All the tables has de "MONITORING" option in a 9.2.0.5 database.
    My question is concern to "method_opt =>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE REPEAT',OPTIONS=>'GATHER EMPTY',estimate_percent =>5);
    So, for a new table with columnns and indexes (with "monitoring" option), will it create statistics or histograms statistics when the script run for the first time on the table??? and then, will continue with/without histograms???
    begin
    DBMS_STATS.FLUSH_DATABASE_MONITORING_INFO();
    DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DATABASE_STATS(DEGREE=>4,GRANULARITY=>'ALL',CASCADE=>TRUE,method_opt =>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE REPEAT',OPTIONS=>'GATHER EMPTY',estimate_percent =>5);

    {code}
    I have taken following explanation from documentation:
    {code}
    METHOD_OPT - The value controls column statistics collection and histogram creation. It accepts either of the following options, or both in combination:
    FOR ALL [INDEXED | HIDDEN] COLUMNS [size_clause]
    FOR COLUMNS [size clause] column|attribute [size_clause] [,column|attribute [size_clause]...]
    size_clause is defined as size_clause := SIZE {integer | REPEAT | AUTO | SKEWONLY}
    column is defined as column := column_name | (extension)
    - integer : Number of histogram buckets. Must be in the range [1,254].
    - REPEAT : Collects histograms only on the columns that already have histograms.
    - AUTO : Oracle determines the columns to collect histograms based on data distribution and the workload of the columns.
    - SKEWONLY : Oracle determines the columns to collect histograms based on the data distribution of the columns.
    - column_name : name of a column
    - extension : can be either a column group in the format of (column_name, colume_name [, ...]) or an expression
    The default is FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO.
    {code}
    GATHER EMPTY: Gathers statistics on objects which currently have no statistics. Return a list of objects found to have no statistics.

  • For all entries changes the order of the itab

    Hi Experts
                 In the following query i have used two internal tables namely it_first and it_zlist.
                The material inwhich the it_zlist is different sorting order
          After executing this query, the order of the material inwhich the it_first is different from the it_zlist.
                 What could be the reason, pls explain me on this.
    select matnr test zsno ztnam from zmaster1
                into corresponding fields of table it_first
                      for all entries in it_zlist
                      where matnr = it_zlist-matnr.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Rajaram

    for all entries u should specified all primary key.
    sort by u condition.
    Effect
    If the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is specified before the language element WHERE, then the components comp of the internal table itab can be used as operands when comparing with relational operators.
    The internal table itab must have a structured line type and the component comp must be compatible with the column col.
    The logical expression sql_cond of the WHERE condition can comprise various logical expressions by using AND and OR. However, if FOR ALL ENTRIES is specified, there must be at least one Comparison with a column of the internal table itab, which can be specified either statistically or dynamically (Release 6.40 and higher). In a statement with a SELECTstatement with FOR ALL ENTRIES, the addition ORDER BY can only be used with the addition PRIMARY KEY.
    The whole logical expression sql_cond is evaluated for each individual line of the internal table itab. The resulting set of the SELECT statement is the union of the resulting sets from the individual evaluations. Duplicate lines are automatically removed from the resulting set. If the internal table itab is empty, the whole WHERE statement is ignored and all lines in the database are put in the resulting set.
    Notes
    In Release 6.10 and higher, the same internal table can be specified after FOR ALL ENTRIES and after INTO.
    The addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is only possible before WHERE conditions of the SELECT statement.
    If the additions PACKAGE SIZE or UP TO n ROWS are specified together with FOR ALL ENTRIES, they are not passed to the database system but are applied instead to the resulting set once all selected rows on the application server have been imported.
    With duplicated rows in the resulting set, the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES has the same effect as if addition DISTINCT were specified in the definition of the selection quantity. Unlike DISTINCT, the rows are not deleted from the database system but are deleted on the application server from the resulting set.
    Addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is only possible for WHERE conditions of the SELECT statement.
    Example
    Exporting all flight data for a specified departure city. The relevant airlines and flight numbers are first put in an internal table entry_tab, which is evaluated in the WHERE condition of the subsquent SELECT statement.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • Can I set an mx control property globaly for all instances of the control.

    Is there a way of setting the value of a variable on a control for all instances of the control in the application? 
    For example, I have several instances of an mx:Label and I want to change the enabled property for all instances at once rather than refer to each one individually by id.

    One way is to subclass Button and change its enabled getter to watch some static property.  You don’t really want to change Button itself because Buttons exist in lots of places like ScrollBars.

  • You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

    Hi all
    Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
    Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files.  I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common.  The
    same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
    Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
    to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
    The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain?  We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
    nothing changes.
    Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
    Thanks much for your help!

    Hi Nalani500 ,
    Yes, you can print the response in a PDF by following the steps suggested below.
    1) Go to the response file
    2) Select the response you want to print
    3) Click on Save as PDF button and it would save the selected response in PDF format.
