Creating InfoObjects attribute

Hi,
Can any one tell how to create InfoObjects attribute
Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek
An infoobject can have another infoobject as an attribute included in its attribute tab.
You can create there itself an attribute by just clicking create infoobject
An attribute can be again Keyfigure or characteristc.
An attribute provide some additional information about the infoobject
Basic eg: 0EMPLOYEE and its attirbute
you got many type of attributes Display , Navigational, Transitive, also again categorised as time dependent adn time independent
below forum throws some light on master data and its attributes

Creating InfoObjects Dynamically

Hi, Anyone have any ABAP I could use to create infoObjects dynamically? I have a list of InfoObjects and related attributes and I'd Like to have them created using an ABAP...
ThankS!
There must be some enterprising soul who could help out?
I thought some enterprising soul would jump on this one. There has to be a way using a class or BAPI? anyone?

Hi
The upload from XML is a valid method if you can make an XML file with the required values.
An alternative is to create a BDC with the LSMW instrument or use the BAPI BAPI_IOBJ_CREATE that manage all the different parameters you need (compounding, attribute,...)

Error while creating infoobject

Hi All,
I was creating a infoobject using RSA1.
On the attributes tab selected 0MATL_TYPE and 0MATL_Group.
received error msg "Attributes should start with ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
i did accept my other entry "0PROFIT_CNTR"
Please help.

Hi,
They are standard objects.. you can not create objects starting '0'
Create them with Z**** Example ZMATL_TYP Zmatl_grp

Creating Infoobjects for the existing Infoprovider

Hello,
Can someone give me the steps to follow while creating infoobjects. Example - while working on a query realized that addition of 2 more infoobjects would make a lot of sense. So how do i go about creating infoobjects for the already existing infoprovider. I mean do i need to make the initial changes in the ODS or Infocube? Its just a doubt so please any amount of explanation would be of great help.
Thank You,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
I agree with Sreenath.
Few Suggestions:
If these two fields are the part of Transaction Data then you need to add them in Transfer Structure and Infoprovider.
If you want to use these objects as only Navigational Attributes then you need not add these fields to the Infoprovider, just make them as navigational attributes in the master data characteristics.
Hope that helps.

How to create custom attributes & object classes through ldif files in OID

Hi,
I have to create 4 attributes and one object class(custom) in OID. I want to creae these attributes and object class through LDIF file.
I tried creating an attribute through this command
ldapadd -p 389 -h localhost -D cn=orcladmin -w password -f D:/newattr.ldif
this ldif file contains inf. for creating a new attributes:
dn: cn=subschemasubentry
changetype: add
add: attributetypes
attributetypes: ( 1.2.3.4.5.6.10 NAME "xsUserType_new" DESC "User Type Definition" EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
SYNTAX "1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15" )
I am getting error: Object class violation
Failed to find add in mandatory or optional attribute list.
Please help to find where I am going wrong...
Thanks.

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the help. Now i am able to create both attributes and object classes in OID through Ldif files.
I was getting constraint violation error because (I think) I was not giving proper naming convection for attributes and object classes. For OID, there are certain Ldap naming conventions. They are as follows:
# X below is the enterprise number assigned by IANA
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.1 - assign to SNMP objects
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2 - assign to LDAP objects
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.1 - assign to LDAP syntaxes
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.2 - assign to LDAP matchingrules
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.3 - assign to LDAP attributes
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.4 - assign to LDAP objectclasses
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.5 - assign to LDAP supported features
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.9 - assign to LDAP protocol mechanisms
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.10 - assign to LDAP controls
1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.11 - assign to LDAP extended operations
By using these conventions for attributes and object class, I did got any error and they were created in OID.
Thanks a zillion.

Double-click to create method/attribute in EHP2 Netweaver 7.0 does not work

Hi,
this makes me wonder:
I'm used to create new attributes or methods by simply double-clicking the new name and the system will ask me to create. Now I am new in EHP2 and for methods it just says 'wrong cursor position or object not in navigation', for attributes system just does not show any reaction.
Please help me as it is really annoying always to create things from object tree or class header.
What is it I do not see?
Thanks so much.
Clemens

Hi,
sorry I thought it was clear: I try in the new ABAP front end editor - accessed through SE80, SE24, SE38 and anay transaction that allows you to edit code (except lousy things like the enhancement spot implementation code window).
An it is still the same: In a report, I can write perform xyz and double-click will asjk me to create a form. Just in oo context, attributes and methods should be the same - as it was since ECC600 or even before on 46C. Except our current system I don't know anyone working on EHP2 for Netweaver 7.
EHP2 just another undeclared untested Beta-Version?
I can't believe.

All the steps involved in creating user attributes

where is it documented on how to create user attributes that are stored in the ldap?
I created a jspprovider channel, and I can get data out of the user attributes in the samplecontent.jsp by:
JSPProvider p = (JSPProvider)pageContext.getAttribute("JSPProvider");
SSOTokenManager mgr = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
SSOToken token = mgr.createSSOToken(request);
AMStoreConnection dpc = new AMStoreConnection(token);
String name = token.getPrincipal().getName();
AMUser user = dpc.getUser(name);
Map attMap = user.getAttributes();
Collection valueCollection = attMap.values();
Iterator valueIterator = valueCollection.iterator();
int iSize = attMap.size();
Set attKeySet = attMap.keySet();
Iterator keyIterator = attKeySet.iterator();
and then iterate through to display them all.
I then tried to store a value using the sampledoedit.jsp file:
JSPProvider p = (JSPProvider)pageContext.getAttribute("JSPProvider");
SSOTokenManager mgr = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
SSOToken token = mgr.createSSOToken(request);
AMStoreConnection dpc = new AMStoreConnection(token);
String name = token.getPrincipal().getName();
AMUser user = dpc.getUser(name);
String aname = request.getParameter("attributeName");
Object aval = request.getParameter("attributeValue");
HashMap attMap = new HashMap();
attMap.put(aname,aval);
user.setAttributes(attMap);
user.store(true);
response.sendRedirect((String)pageContext.getAttribute("url"));
For whatever reason, I get an error, and in the debug I just get couldn't set attributes.
Then, when I try to retreive the list of attributes, the new name/value pair is created, but the value is blank.....
Any ideas? Or a link on a step by step process on how to create user attributes?

BTW, here is the error I get in the debug log:

How to create an attribute dimension in Essbase Studio?

I cannot figure out how to create an attribute dimension using Essbase Studio. The online help states that I need to "Find the Attribute settings grouping in the center" of the member properties dialog box. I suspect that I'm having a problem figuring this out because I don't have the attribute dimension properly defined in the relational data source or in the mini-schema. I've tried creating a table with no key relationship to the other tables and with no logical joins defined, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

so in the 11.1.1 version you would click on the member name in the hierarchy you added to the Essbase model and in the center pane of the general tab should be the attributes settings section.
If I had a dimension called stores wth two groupings unser it region and store_type, I would click on store_type and add the attribute info

Hello Ashok,
[here|https://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/current/com/sap/mdm/examples/CreateField.html] is the Java API of the needed command.
There is also an example of how to create a field. You can use the class by replacing the strings for the server, repository, table, etc. to your needs.
If you want to create more than one field, simply use a loop, like the for-loop, while-loop, etc.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Dominik

How to create a Attribute "Type standard table OF" to a OSS NOTE

Dear experts,
I need to add new attributes in a standard class as per one OSS note. I took access key to add new attributes. I have a question.
class name: CL_J_1BEFD
Attribute: MT_GROUP_C350
Level: Instance
Visibility: Private
Type STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result
How do i add the instance attribute because i do not want to give the typing and associated type, instead i have to declare data: MT_GROUP_C350 type standard table of mty_result in class builder private section code.
if you look at the pushbutton between Associated type and Description, for all instance attributes there's a green color lining below the arrow. I want my attribute also to be exactly same.
Though i have access key, in private section the display<->Change button is disabled.
Please suggest me how do i add code in private section of a standard class. i have required access key to change the class.
Thanks,
Alysson

Hi Friend...
Thanks, but the question is...
When I went to transaction se24 or se80, I chose the class CL_J_1BEFD and second I swap to "CHANGE MODE".. after that the pushbutton is blocked... I can create the Attribute mt_group_c800 in the Class (using TYPE or LIKE option), but i can't change the code in the private session even using the assistant to modify it.
When I acess the Button "Detail View" the option "Direct Type Entry" is just unavaliable too, no matter what i do!
I coudn't find a way to create the Attibute like the note Describes (SAPNOTE NUMBER 1575772 - in the attachment of the note)
The changes are contained in the attachment
Follows the instructions retrieved from the file:
Add the following Attributes on the Class CL_J_1BEFD Private section
data:
mt_group_c800 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
data:
mt_group_c850 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
data:
mt_group_c860 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
data:
mt_group_c890 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
How can i make a way to creat this attributes using "TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF " Option?

SAP CRM MObility Activity Survey to create Marketing Attributes for a BP

ATtrHi Gurus ,
I have to create an Activity from IPAD ( CRM Mobility ) which will create a survey response,and the survey responses have to be captured and then create Marketing Attributes for the BP related to the Activity. I am not able to use the Callback Function given to IPAD Application.
So my Approach so far has been :
implement a badi that gets trigerred at Survey Response submission.
in that call function module crm_svy_activity_pai.(Made a Z-copy of this to enforce COMMIT WORK )
I am not able to pass the parameter lr_values for FM: CRM_SVY_ACTIVITY_PAI
These are the 2 links that has been useful so far . Kindly add to this if possible.

Hi Jacques,
Once you click on Marketing in Web UI you will find "Marketing Attribute" in the Work Area.Click on that.
You need to give ID No. and Attribute Set name.
You need to mark Persons and Organisation checked also.
Below that you will find 2 blocks " Attributes" and "Value"
Under Attribute gve your Attributes Names you want to define ( e.g. Age,Salary or any client defined..) then select the Format ( Numeric or Chracter etc...)
Once you have filled in all the Attributes you click on one attribute and below you need to fill the Values ( e.g 20-30 yrs etc...) . If you want to make that value a default one you can select default check box against each value.
That way for each attributes you can define values. Hope this would help you.
Regards...

How to create an attribute

Hi,
I can create xml elements in designer, e.g. John Brinkman's example
// Add a question datagroup with the right question type
// then add a question subform to bind against it.
                                                  var vNewQ = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup", "Question");
                                                  vNewType = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue", "QuestionType");
                                                  vNewType.value = vQDef.QuestionType.value;
                                                  vNewQ.nodes.append(vNewType);
                                                  vSection.dataNode.nodes.append(vNewQ);
However, I would like to create an attribute (I'm working with an existing predefined schema) but I can't seem to find a simple way, e.g.
I would like something like
<Question QuestionType=""/>
How can I do this? I tried loading the XML in like
                                                  var vNewType          =
                                                                                                      <Question QuestionType="">
                                                                                                      </Question>;
                                                  xfa.data.mForm.loadXML(vNewType.toString(), false, false);
but unless I give it a child node, it bombs out. It will work with
var vNewType =
    <Question QuestionType="">
       <dummyRow/>
    </Question>;
Any help would be worth 5 gold medals.

Hi,
You need to set the contains property of the dataValue to 'metaData" to turn it into an attribute, but you can only do this once the dataValue has a parent, so your code should look like;
var vNewQ = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup", "Question");
vNewType = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue", "QuestionType");
vNewType.value = vQDef.QuestionType.value;
vNewQ.nodes.append(vNewType);
vNewType.contains = "metaData";
vSection.dataNode.nodes.append(vNewQ);

Can anyone tell me where exactly do i need attribute sets(i am only aware that it is used to provide the look n feel to the browser) and how to go abt creating one.
Thanks
Amrita

Thanks for replying
i'd like u to see the PartialPageExample in sampleLibrary project..There is a function being called in the CO from SampleBrowserAM which is
public void handleSupplierSelectionEvent()
OADBTransaction txn = getOADBTransaction();
String detailTableText = null;
// Find the selected radio button so we can mark the current row.
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)findViewObject("SuppliersVO1");
// Get the first filtered row.
Row masterRow = vo.getFirstFilteredRow ("SelectFlag", "Y");
if (masterRow != null)
vo.setCurrentRow(masterRow);
String supplierName = (String)masterRow.getAttribute("Name");
MessageToken[] tokens = { new MessageToken("SUPPLIER_NAME", supplierName)};
detailTableText =
txn.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_SITES_FOR_SUPPLIER", tokens); }
else
// If there are no selected rows, display a default generic message.
detailTableText =
txn.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_SUPPLIER_SITES", null);
// Now set the text message on the DETAIL_TABLE_TEXT attribute in
// the application properties VO.
SampleBrowserPVOImpl appPropsVo = getSampleBrowserPVO1();
Row appPropsRow = appPropsVo.getCurrentRow();
if (appPropsRow != null)
appPropsRow.setAttribute("DetailTableText", detailTableText);
} // end handleSupplierSelectionEvent()
i am not able to understand the text in bold in the code above.how do i refer to it, where is it stored, what is it doing , and it is maybe specific to the supplier table coz i cannot use it for my custom table...can u pls explain

CSI: update_item_instance issues while creating extended attributes

Hello,
For our customer's data conversion, installed base instances have already been created, there is only need to create extended attributes.
Issues I have encountered are:
- Whenever an error is encountered in the API call, all following records are rejected with the same error (even the same instance ID/primary key/attribute ID) as the first error record.
- Extended attributes are randomly entered in the wrong fields (as if one field had gone missing and the others had been updated)
- Date formats have been changed from DD/MM/YYYY to DD-MON-YYYY when consulting from Installed Base (but this happened only once)
Other information: There are 14 extended attributes to be added for each item instance, I removed some of the attributes to make the code more readable.
I followed the metalink note that shows the implementation method for this API and only added the recursive elements that we needed for the 14 attributes + functions to retrieve item_id and such.
The "message()" function replaces is defined as FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(which =>fnd_file.log,buff => p_msg);

The issue seems to because this:
x_instance_rec.inventory_item_id := ib_rec3.inventory_item_id;
You are selecting the item id from your staging table. But the serial number in the csi_item_instances is associated with the instance is a different item id than ib_rec3.inventory_item_id. Hence this error. You cannot change the item in the IB once the instance is created.
You have two choices: comment this out or change the inventory_item_id in staging table to match with the csi_item_instances.
Also a lot depends on what is your serial number uniqueness. If you are using the same serial number for two different items (uniqueness with item_Id) you need to be careful which one you are picking (based on serial number).
