Data in User Fields

Dear Experts,
Want to know whether we can link Data Fields which are available in Standard Tables to User Fields which are available at WBS Level.
Thanks in advance,
Dileepa.

Hi Virendra,
Thanks for the support, as per the guidance given by you i was able to link the desired field (E.g. Vendor Code) to one of the WBS Element User Field using WBS_USER_FIELDS_F4 BAdi. Further to this I have following requirements.
1. Can I also appear the field description in front of the User Field (E.g. Name of the Vendor)
2. Can I validate whether a User have entered a valid input to the User Field (i.e. Existing Vendor in the Vendor Master)
3. Can I include a search window to search input values.
Very much appreciate your help,
Dileepa.

How to disable copy and paste in a field and allowing user to key in the data in that field...

Hi all,
I need your help on the below scenario.
I have to stop user to copy and paste the data into the field. But allowing user to enter the data in that field.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Thiru.

Hi thiru
It sounds like you want a to write a PJC component to extend a forms text item that will capture and eliminate the key strokes and mouse actions used to copy and past thus preventing a user from performing this action. There are many examples on the interent of how this can be written e.g. the Oracle Forms PJCs/Java Beans web site. You will need to have jdeveloper to write thise bit of code. Oracle forms also has a tutorial on how to plug the JAR file you generate into your for sessions.

Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

Hi everyone,
Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text, the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
Thanks
Wim

create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
updating that field with the new comments (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

SBL-DAT-00398 error msg for User Field Validation

Hi All,
I have created the following field validation on the User field "Division": Len([<Division>])>0 AND InStr([<ltValidation_OU_ITAG>],[<Division>])>0, As the "Division" field is free text, the porpuse of the validation is to prevent the user from entering in this field any value that is diffrent from the ones available in the custom field "Validation OU" via the User Owner Page Layout. The validation works OK for Admin Role via the User Admin Page Layout but a SBL-DAT-00398 error msg stating " Field '<Division>' does not exist in definition for business component 'Occam Current Employee' " appears when users with other roles are trying to update this field via the User Owner Page Layout.
I have contacted OD Customer support and they validated this in several POD saying this "is most likely a defect in the application" and a CR will be submitted to dev team to fix it sometime in the future.
I am wondering though if support isn't making life easy here stating the above...:
1. Anyone encountered this error before? (couldn't find any trace for this on My Oracle Support)
2. Anyone aware of field validation limitations for the 'User' entity?
3. Workaround suggestions are welcomed
10X for you help!
Alex.

Error(), fatal(), info() and warn() issue FacesMessages that get picked up by the MessageGroup component.
By adding in the uicomponent you can target the facesMessage so that it gets picked up by the Message component associated with the field causing the error.
But, to get the label to show the error as well, you need to throw a validationError. See this tutorial for more informaiton:

Added user field to CJI3 - missing in column set until post

Hello,
We added a user field to the CJI3 report using these instructions:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/400fbf3d-4be0-2d10-2d85-bbaf27f72258?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&49563922669358
We added a user defined field in our WBS structure, PRPS-USR001, to the CJI3 report.
On page 8 it says that once the change is made, the column will become availble. We haven't found that to be the case. What I found was that the field does not show up until 1) there is a value in it for a project and 2) there has been a new posting to that particular WBS element.
So it appears that after we update the master data for the particular WBS on each project, we will not be able to use the data in CJI3 until there is a posting to that WBS element for each relevant project.
Is there any way to "activate" or "push" SAP such that once the master data is updated in the project it is available in CJI3? Or do we have to wait until something has been posted to that WBS? Historically there are postings to the WBS but it doesn't appear in CJI3 until there is a new posting since we updated the field.
Thanks much,
Andrea

Hi Andrea
cji3 is the actual cost/revenue line item report of ps. In order for the new column to appear you need to satisfy both pre-requisites:
1.actual line item in your wbs
2.the user field to have a value.
If you satisfy just one of the pre-req's i am afraid you will not get it in your cji3 output.
Hope it helps somehow

Problem with Refreshing the data bound text fields

Folks,
First of all, this a GREAT product and I am moving my apps from Eclipse to Studio Creator. I am very impessed with it so far.
I am gone through most tutorials, but can't help resolve the problem that I am having. I have a page, that lists all the users in a table. When you click on any user, it opens up another page that lists the detail of the specific user you have clicked on. This a typical use in most web applications, right?
In the user detail page, I open it in "Read" only mode, by setting the "setReadOnly" to true for all text field components. Then users can edit it by clicking "Edit" button. Edit button just changes the "setReadOnly" to false, to allow editing. After editing, they can hit the "Save" button to save the changes. In the save button, I call this code:
public void prerender() {
        try {
            userID=getSessionBean1().getUserID();
            getSessionBean1().getWeb_userRowSetUserDetail().setObject(1,userID);
            getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().refresh();
            info("prerender: Refresh called");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            error("Error in userForm.prerender():"+ex.getMessage()+ex.getStackTrace());
            log("Error in userForm.prerender():", ex);
        setReadWrite();
public String btnSave_action() {
        try {
            getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().commitChanges();
            getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().refresh();
            info("Data Provider Refreshed in SAVE");
            _readOnly=true;
            form1.discardSubmittedValues("saveVForm");
            info("User Updated New:"+userID);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log("Error Description", ex);
        return null;
    public String btnEdit_action() {
        try {
            _readOnly=false;
            //info("User ID Edt="+getSessionBean1().getUserID());
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            error("Error in userForm.btnEdit_action:"+ex.getMessage()+ex.getStackTrace());
            log("Error in userForm.btnEdit_action():", ex);
        return null;
    private void setReadWrite(){
        // Set read-only to true or false for all text fiels
        this.btnEdit.setVisible(_readOnly);
        this.btnSave.setVisible(!_readOnly);
        this.user_id.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_email_client.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_email_office.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_fname.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_lname.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_id.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_password.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_password_conf.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_cell.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_cell_aac.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_client.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_home.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_office.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
    }When the save button is clicked, the database is updated (as I can verify by looking directly into the database), but the data-bound text fields do not display the new value. YES, I am calling refresh() on data provider? I tried to call refresh in both "preRender()" and "Save" button action event, but that did not help either.
Please note that the save button also changes the "setReadOnly" back to TRUE for all text fields. That means, users view the page in Read-Only mode after saving. (They have to click on "Edit" button again to edit it). I discovered that if I do not set the text field components in "ReadOnly" mode, then they display the updated value of the fields. But if I change setReadOnly to TRUE, then they display the old values (before the save).
Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks

Here is my experience with it. I have three text
boxes to be filled out. They are part of a virtual
form with an add button as the submit. You can fill
out the 3 and add them and a node is added to a tree
component. When you click on a node in the tree
component (the submit to another virtual form that
the 3 buttons participate in) the text fields should
be loaded with the values that they where added with.Hard to tell from this explanation, but if the text fields do not participate in a virtual form, then they are not going to get updated when an action in the virtual form happens. Not sure this is your problem. Like I say, hard to tell from this explanation.
They will not display the values though...having
nothing to do with read only. If I disable them
before hand...they display the updated values. If I
set their value at the top or bottom of prerender,
they display the change...if I set the value in an if
conditional that is hit (I have checked many times)
in prerender, they will not display the values. If I
set them in the tree handler anywhere, they will not
display the values. This is very frustrating and is
wasting tons of my time...I simply want to load the
text fields based on the tree node that was
clicked...I have messed with this for hours and it
certainly does not work.Well, setting them in the tree handler won't work because the tree handler gets called in the page instance that handles the submit and not the page instance that renders the response.
Posting your prerender code might help. Also, your action handler.

Error when trying to set a date type edit field

Hi all
I have an edit text field in a form which is bounded to a date type
database field using dbDataSource.
When i try to set the edit text field value with Today's date by code.
I recieve an error message that the value which
i'm trying to set is not legal. the error number is [131-183].
I use the following code to set the edit field:
If oEditText.Value.Trim = String.Empty Then
            Dim strDate As String
            Dim sboBob As SAPbobsCOM.SBObob =
             oCompany.GetBusinessObjec(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoBridge)
             rs = sboBob.Format_DateToString(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Today)
           strDate = rs.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString().Trim()
Try
       oEditText.Value = strDate
Catch ex As Exception
    SBO_Application.MessageBox("error setting
current date: " & ex.Message)
End Try
End If
My question is how can i set the edit field with a valid value?

Hi!
When writing to EditText.Value you must always use the B1 "DB-Format" as String.
The following examples are assuming (it's a must!) that the EditText-Fields are bound to a corrosponding DataSource (Type Date, Price etc...)
MyDateEditTxt.Value="20080207"
MyPriceEditTxt.Value="1341.79"
The best of it: It's Windows and SBO-GUI-Language independent.
EditText.String must always be written with the format of the actual Language of the SBO-GUI, which can be changed by the user....

Copying data to multiple fields

I have a number of forms which have been created in Acrobat 8 Professional using the Acrobat tools (not LiveCycle) where I need data entered in one field to copy to another. Usually this data is text. I have used the following Javascript in the Calculate tab in field properties:
event.value = this.getField("SOURCE FIELD").value;
In order to allow for a single point of data entry, the fields to which the data is copied are locked and flagged as read only. Most of the time this works, however I have been getting multiple support calls where the forms fail to follow the script. I've tried many options including PDF optimization. I've ensured that users are using the same version of Acrobat Reader (8.1.2).
Is there a better way to accomplish this task?
Is there something wrong with the JavaScript?
I'm not very sophisticated with Javascript and would appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

There is a user preference that controls whether automatic calculations are performed. Perhaps some users have turned this off. The most likely possibility is the field calculation order is not correct.
If you've checked both of those things and it still doesn't work, can you give an example of some text that this doesn't work with?
A different approach that avoids these issues is instead of setting up a custom calculation script in the read-only field, you can use something like the following in the Validate script of the text entry field:
getField("destination_field").value = event.value;
This way it will work if automatic calculations are turned off, and the calculation order doesn't come into play.

MS Word Web Service Interface: bad format of date and currency fields

Hi,
I am using MS Word Web Service interface to create contract documents. However, my date and currency fields show in a strange format. Date is in"YYYY-MM-DD" format, while currencies always have "." as decimal separator (probably technical values). My user settings are "DD.MM.YYYY" for dates and "n.nnn,dd" for decimal numbers.
My workaround is to create a Z structure for WS interface with char fields and then do conversion through CRM_WST_RT_BADI->OUTBOUND_PROCESSING method. This works, but requires a lot of custom development.
Is there a way to "tell" the interface to use correct formats in MS Word without doing it all manually through custom fields?
Thanks!
KR,
Igor

Oh, indeed!
We might be closer than you think - I live close to Croatian-Slovenian border so we might pop out for a drink! But we can discuss this out of forum...
Now work again:
Is there any documentation on possible formatting keywords? I suppose it's possible to set up decimal places, custom date formats etc.
Cheers,
Igor

Bind repeating data to multiple fields

I am a livecycle numpty and I need some help! I am developing a readonly report. This report is using sample xml for databinding. Within the xml I have a repeating group - example:
<group>
     <groupItem>
          <addres>parp</address>
     </groupItem>
      <groupItem>
          <addres>parp</address>
In my report I have two sections that need to reference this repeating data. One section works and the other doesn't. I've read that you can't bind repeating data to multiple fields. How do I get around around this? I can't seem to get the global binding to work (is this purely for user entered data???)
Please help!
Cheers,
Rich

one way to do this is, in the Initialize event of the field in second repeating section, assign the rawValue from the first repeating section..
For example..
initialize event of Field2..
     Field2.rawValue = Field1.rawValue;
Other way is to read the XML tags and assign the value to the fields..
You need to loop thru the group element and read each group item value and assign the value to the field..
Field2.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode("$record.group.groupItem").value; //this command will only read the first occurance of the groupItem value.
Thanks

How to set User-field in Plan order

Hi
could you tell me please how to set a user-filed in plan order. when I run MRP planing, I can write some data in this filed.
thanks
henry

Hi,
Actually these user defind fields are used/assigned in the routing.
Initially u have to define your own user defind profile through OPEC transaction.
Assign this profile in the routing.
So when ur executing Mfg activities, suppose if ur using some high materials like silver...etc.
Then after executing the particular operation some amount of silver chips or silver scrap will generated .
To keep chip/scrap qty operation and date which user defind is used.
Once u have assigned this profile to routing, then it will be automatically copied in the planned order/production order.when ur confirming the order then u have to enter the all related data.

Changing data in 'hidden' fields through BSP

Hi all,
We are using custom copy of hap_document BSP and in there i am trying to change values in the appraisal document using application->doc. I am able to change the values for the fields that are displayed in the layout in the application->doc-t_body_cell_notes, but not able to change the values for hidden fields(that have 'H' in application->doc-t_body_cells-cell_note_availability).
Is it impossible to change data for hidden fields?
Please let me know if anyone of you had ever done something like this earlier.
Thanks,
manasa

Thanks Raja.
In the HAP_DOCUMENT there is a cell for employee comments. Now i am hiding the cell in the BSP and when user clicks on a dropdown i am changing the value in the cell say from ABC to XYZ programatically. The document is being updated with the XYZ value when the cell is either in change/display mode but not in hidden mode. in hidden mode, When i change the value to XYZ and save the cell gets empty and doesnt have the previous value ABC also.
I am changing the value in the cell using below code:
   READ TABLE application->doc-t_body_cell_notes INTO s_cell_notes
     WITH KEY column_iid = '0001' row_iid = '0002'.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
     s_cell_notes-tdline = 'XYZ'.
   ENDIF.
   MODIFY application->doc-t_body_cell_notes
      INDEX sy-tabix FROM s_cell_notes
      TRANSPORTING tdline.
   ENDIF.
ENDIF.
if you have any questions please let me know. I am assmuing that you have worked on the BSP HAP_DOCUMENT.
Thanks again,

Not Reflecting all the field defined in User Field Key - WBS

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am not able to view the fields which are user defined in field key. I need all four character fields and date fields.
Please guide...

Hi,
First check in transaction OPS1 for these user fields. Next check whether there's an authorization object specified to these user fields. If yes, then maybe you wont be having access to it. Kindly check and confirm.
