Creating keyfigure as an attribute for a characteristic

Hi All,
Can anybody explain what is the use of creation of keyfigure as an attribute in the attributes creation process.Please provide a sample example as to where it i used in real time.
Regards,
Sunitha

Hi ,
Cost Price will still be defined as a key figure, but we will be defining it as an attribute of 0MATERIAL.
Choice of doing this will subject to specific reporting requirements like, since cost price of the article is slowly changing value (nearly fixed) ,hence we might prefer to load this into the master data which can be looked up along with other attributes of 0MATERIAL while doing transactional loads.
Also this will help in reducing the width of the fact table.
Another scenario could be if price is time dependant. It would be a good option again to use this as an attribute.
Thanks,
Vikram

Can i create more than one attributes for the custom class created using java API

Hello everyone,
I have been creating class and its attributes programatically using java APIs, I want to know that is there any way to create multipal attributs for the same class in just one call of API with all the options for each attributes,
thanks

You can create a new class and define all of the Attributes at the time the class is created - this is the preferred way of creating classes. Use the addAttributeDefinition() method on ClassObjectDefinition. If you need to add attributes to existing classes, you can only add them one at a time (using the addAttribute() method on ClassObject).

Large number of attributes for a characteristic

I have the requirement to add like 100 attributes to the 0Material object. This object already have 120 attributes, what would result in a total ol 220 attributes. Although I know the technical limit is 750, I'd like to know if anybody has heard or experienced some performance or any kind of issue because of having such a big number of attributes in an object (0Material being particularly critical). Thanks a bunch. Regards.

I dont know the upper limit, but I think 80 is too much. I have never used more than 15-20. For Nav attributes, a seperate tables are created which causes the Performance issue as result in new join at query run time. Just ask your business guy, if these can be reduced.One way could be to model these attributes as seperate characteristics. It will certainly help.

Using Key figure attribute of a characteristic in a query

Hi All,
I have the following scenario. I have defined a key figure attribute for a characteristic Infoobject. I have included this characteristic infoobject in an Infocube. I now want to use the key figure attribute as a regular key figure when I create a report based on the Infocube. Is it possible and if so how is it possible?
Thanks
Sundar

Hi Saundar,
   There's another way.Set the characteristic with key figure attributes as a data target under your info area. Create a MultiProvider and include your Cube and this characteristic. Here you can set the key figure as your MultiProvider key figure.
   Don't forget to take care of the identification of MultiProvider.
   Hope this helps.

Can anyone advise what can I use to make it delta enabled without any code.
Can I use numeric pointer like the 0Vendor_text.
Many Thanks and regards,

Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition

I am using the below BAPI's but the marketing attributes is not working depsite it returning the assignemtn created message, and despite otehr future GET bapis' correcntly pulling back the data. There seems to be some memory issue. Has anyone been able to create a BP and add marketing atributes successfully?

Hi,
You can not use the BAPI_OBJCL* function modules directly. Try to use function module CRM_MKTBP_SAVE_BP_LIST. If it does not work try CRM_MKTBP_PUT_OB + CRM_MKTBP_SAVE_OB.
There are some posts that talk about CRM_MKTBP_SAVE_BP_LIST. Try this one

Hi Pushpa,
Which enhancement package are you on currently? This is observed in cases where originals in DIR's are invisible and sometimes error message 26296 occurs in transaction CV01n. Hence,please check your entries in the table SDOKPROP to avoid such a problem in your system.
Further,suggest you explore if the below resolutions can be adopted in your case.

Can´t create a date attribute for basic asset

Hi
I created a basic asset where I want to have a date attribute to pick up a date for calendar.
My question is: How can I create a date attribute for a basic asset? For what I understand I have to create an element attribute in my descriptor file like this
<PROPERTY NAME="imagedate" DESCRIPTION="Image date">
<STORAGE TYPE="TIMESTAMP" LENGTH="8"/>
<INPUTFORM TYPE="ELEMENT" WIDTH="24" MAXLENGTH="48" REQUIRED="NO" DEFAULT="" INSTRUCTION="Format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm"/>
<SEARCHFORM DESCRIPTION="Image date" TYPE="ELEMENT" WIDTH="48" MAXLENGTH="128"/>
</PROPERTY>
Then, when I create a new instance of this asset, this attribute appears with this error:
Date: Unable to find element OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Oportunidade/ContentForm/imagedate
But the element (imagedate.xml) is there!!
I request help.

It seems that the table does not have the entries, maybe b/c we are on R3 4.7. Could you tell me what the entries are suppossed to be to allow the Asset and Cost Center lookup? The search does work for WBS element though and I don't see anything specific to WBS element in that table. In any case if you know the entries that would be great, also this table is not modifiable via SM30, here are the entries that I have in that table.

Imported XSLT cannot create attributes for generated XML element

I have two xslts. One imports the other.
The imported xslt creates XML elements with attributes and this XML is stored in a variable in the main stylesheet
If I perform the transformation with JRE prior to 1.6.0.18 then all works fine
If I use 1.6.0.18 or 1.6.0.19 then the attributes aren't added.
If I add attributes in the main xslt it works fine or if I output the element directly instead of first storing it in a variable then it also works fine.
Problem seems to be when you try to add attributes from an imported stylesheet and store the generated element in a variable.
Below two stylesheets to illustrate :
First MainStylesheet.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

extension-element-prefixes="exsl"

<xsl:import href="innerstylesheet.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="/TestData">
<xsl:variable name="generatedElementXml">
<xsl:call-template name="generateElement">
<xsl:with-param name="s">testValue</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($generatedElementXml)">
*** GeneratedElementXML {<xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:copy-of select="*"></xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Next innerstylesheet.xsl

        <xsl:template name="generateElement">
                   <xsl:param name="s"/>
                <TestElement testAttribute="$s" />
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>The result output by jres before 1.6.0.18 is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
               *** GeneratedElementXML {
          <TestElement xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" testAttribute="testValue"/>
               }          The result output by jres since 1.6.0.18 is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
               *** GeneratedElementXML {
          <TestElement xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               }          Note : the 'testAttribute' attribute is missing

Have found the difference in the code
In both JRE1.6.0_17 & JRE1.6.0_18, the class 'com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.dom.AdaptiveResultTreeImpl' has the following method
public void addUniqueAttribute(String qName, String value, int flags)
        throws SAXException
        addAttribute(qName, value);
    }In JRE1.6.0_17 the next method is
public void addAttribute(String name, String value)
     if (_openElementName != null) {
         _attributes.add(name, value);
     else {
         BasisLibrary.runTimeError(BasisLibrary.STRAY_ATTRIBUTE_ERR, name);
    }In JRE1.6.0_18 the next method is
public void addAttribute(String uri, String localName, String qname,
            String type, String value)
     if (_openElementName != null) {
         _attributes.addAttribute(uri, localName, qname, type, value);
     else {
         BasisLibrary.runTimeError(BasisLibrary.STRAY_ATTRIBUTE_ERR, qname);
    }Note - the addAttribute method has additional parameters in JRE1.6.0_18 but the call from addUniqueAttribute wasn't updated.
So in JRE1.6.0_18 addUniqueAttribute actually invokes the following method in the base package com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.EmptySerializer
public void addAttribute(String name, String value)
        aMethodIsCalled();
void aMethodIsCalled()
        // throw new RuntimeException(err);
        return;
    }and as you can see this does nothing. Hence the fact that the attribute isn't added.

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...

Hi Viswa,
In CRM 4.0, marketing attributes set can be created at T-code [CRMD_PROF_TEMPL]
The created attribue set can be assigned to BP at T-code [CRMD_PROF_BP]
The other way you can open the BP, in marketing at marketing attributes tab your can assign the created attribute set.
