Data type levels

Hello all,
I need to create a data type with the following structure
Start record
-- Section start
payment record
-- Section end
End record
is this possible?
when I go from the "payment record" level to "senction end" level i choose "insert element at a lower level".
My problem is that "graficaly" it looks like the "section end" level is not the same as
the "Section start" level???
Please help
/Thomas

Hi Thomas
Given the requirement
I would create the data types bottom-up
<i>yes, it can actually be done. as per bhaveshs response</i>

  • SUS - Added Data Type Enhancement and Higher level Proxies are not active

    Hello,
    I've added a field to our current data type enhancement Z_Purchase_Order_Item.  Once I regenerate the proxy on the enhancement and activate it the field appears as it should in the high level items that use the enhancement (PurchaseOrderRequest_In).  But those proxies have become inactive and when I try to activate them I get this message:
    Interface II_BBPX1_SUS_PO was repaired before the Modification Assistant was enabled. 
    All Modification Assistant functions only apply to future modifications, not to those already
    undertaken.  This means:
    -The modification overview only displays future modifications.
    -When resetting to the standard, the system will reset all objects to their current version, since
    the actual standard can no longer be identified by the Modification Assistant.
    -Support for adjustment after an upgrade will only be available for future modifications. 
    Modifications that already exist must be re-made manually using version management.
    The next message says:
    Object can only be created in SAP package.
    Then the status bar shows "Proxy Activated".  But when I close and reopen the proxy I see that it is once again inactive. 
    Does any know what I need to do to activate this proxy? 
    Thanks,
    Matt

    In SPROXY you can open your proxy and then view the Activation Log under the GoTo menu.  The log will explain better what the problems might be.  In my case I needed to activate another data type enhancement first.
    Thanks,

  • Conversion data type error at universe level

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to convert a object datatype from number to char by using cast function in Universe Designer. I am getting bellow error. Help me on this.
    Thanks
    Riaz

    Hi,
    Try changing the data type of the object at business layer by selecting the related object instead of changing the data type at data foundation layer.
    Hope it helps.

  • Questions on Merging Dis-similar Data Types...

    I am using Web-I version 11.5.8.834 (We do not use the Crystal Reports module, all of our reports are built with Web-I).
    I have two questions:
    Question 1: First I am attempting to create a report from two different universes and need to merge a dimension from each universe.  The two dimensions have similar data, but one is set up as a "string", and the other universe has the same data set up as a "number".  Our IT department creates and maintains the universes and I have requested that one of the dimension data type be changed to match the other, but I am told that other users have already set up reports using these dimensions and to change them at this point might cause a problem with their reports.  So my first question is: Can two separate dimensions be setup within a single universe, using the same data field, each having different data types (e.g., a field with numeric data be set up as a "string" and a second dimension be setup as a "number")?  If this works, I can make a recommendation to our IT department to do this and I will not have to resort to Question 2.  but just in case, here is Question 2:
    Question 2: I have two other dimensions that I might be able to use, but it requires creating a variable and "trimming" data off of each of the fields.  The first universe is a part number with three alpha characters followed by four numeric characters (PRT1234).  The second universe has a serial number, in which the first four characters match the last four characters of the other universe (1234-00111).  If I trim off the first three characters from the first universe using a variable (=right([Part_Number];4), and trim off the last six characters from the second universe using a variable (=left([Serial_Number],4), the variables will have matching data.  The second question is: Can variables be merged?  I've tried, but it isn't working so far.  If so, can someone give me some hints on how to do it?

    Charles,
    Can variables be merged?
    No, local variables cannot be merged.  The manipulation must be performed at the database level via Designer before the data comes across to the report.  As an aside, your IT deparatment can create "new" objects just for you, placed in the list under a separate sub-class that manipulates the data to your liking and will not upset other users who already built reports using the original columns of data.  I guess my point is that you can have multiple objects placed in your universe that derive from the same column in a given table -- user A has it per their flavor and user B has it per his flavor.
    Thanks,

  • Performance and data types: which to use?

    Hi All,
    I am wondering what data type to use and the effect of them on memory/speed.
    1. What is the difference (if any) of using sgl, dbl, int etc. Looking at the LabVIEW help there seems to be a range of 8-256 bits of storage according to the data type. Is it basically choose the one with the smallest storage that can fit the data?
    2. I currently have a cluster flowing through subVI's. The cluster contains the start time (or freq), the delta t (or f) and the array of data (about 500-5000 elements). I tried to use the waveform datatype but it couldn't handle a delta t of 2 nanoseconds (500 MHz signal). Am i ok using the cluster, or should i seperate the components and pass them along? What data type should i use for each of the components?
    Thanks

    There are three main issue to consider.
    Range and accuracy. If you need a very high level of accuracy, then you will need to use the extended data type or even create your own, although that's unlikely.
    Memory. Yes, SGL takes less than DBL, but unless you're dealing with really huge amounts of data this won't matter.
    Coercion. Most built in functions work on DBL. If you wire a SGL into them, they will coerce it, possibly creating a copy of the data and increasing your memory usage.
    To sum it up, most of the times it would be best to use the default DBL. It's highly unlikely you'll need one of the others.
    As for your second question, it sounds to me like the data is a single organism, so I would say you should leave it in the cluster, but that really depends on whether the functions need it or not and whether you're constantly bundling and unbundling the cluster. Note that 5000 elements is far from being a large array and you shouldn't have any problems handling it.
    As for the timing unit, if you really only have 5000 elements (that's 10 microseconds of data?) then you should not have a problem with using a U32 with a nanosecond as the base unit. That should give you the ability to measure more than 4 seconds.

  • Schema Data Type in SOAP Web Service while using Integration Gateway in SMP 3.0

    Hi Experts,
    I was working on Integration gateway component of SMP 3.0.3 where we can have oData services which connect to different data source from SMP and finally we have to consume from SMP. Here I have an SOAP Web service where there is Schema Data type which is an xml structure and because of that while doing the data modelling with Design time tools I am not able to map the properties as there aren't any as only the parent level Schema type is available in the SOAP Web Services. Please see the below image for reference :
    So now I have 2 inputs no problems for design as such then I have the schema for that which comes as a output response which is where I am facing the issue as we don't have that Data Structure itself so how are we going to map that. I have seen some thin possibilities with Custom Scripts with SMP SP06 where this will help us to process the request and response at runtime with JS/Groovy. So needed some lights on this schema data type on Integration Gateway component of SMP 3.0.3 which we are planning to upgrade to SP06 as well so it will be a good starting point for this as well
    Also have concerned my good friend Rakshit Doshi for this as well.

    Fenil.

  • Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

    HI Gurus,
    My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
    in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field  and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
    now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
    for this I would like to change the data type of the field
    to put it simply --
    we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or  Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
    how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
    Thanks in Advace
    Ramchander Rao.K

    Hello Ramchander,
         You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
    If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
    After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
    Option 1:
    Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
    Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
    if ( this.rawvalue == null )
         this.rawvalue = "N/A";
    If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
    Option 2:
    Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
    Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
    MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
    IF l_date IS INITIAL.
         l_date = 'N/A'.
    ENDIF.
    Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
    Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
    But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

  • How to do create data type for coulmn name as QS$FGD .

    hi ,
    In my database i have a column as QS$FGD.
    How do i map it in XI , since $ is not accepted when u create a data type.
    One way is to give alias at the databse level for the column . is there any other way to slove it .
    Thanks

    Hi Amit,
            Were you able to solve your issue? I'm facing the similar issue now. My DB table contains field names with '.' i.e. say xyz.abc. How to solve this??
    I feel SP could be an alternative??

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

    >> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
    This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
    the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity. 
    In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point. 
    Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity. 
    Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables! 
    Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.  
    Think about how silly this is: 
     SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
    We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental. 
    We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

  • Smart Album : Inconsistency in the Date Type format used inside Aperture ?

    Hello,
    After using Aperture 2.0 for some days, I tried to create a Smart Album using as creation option for the Album the Date + "is in the Range" option which is leaving two blank fields for filling the two dates which are supposed to be the date limits of the pictures that the user wants to select.
    My OS X is set to the italian language so our date format is the dd/mm/yy type.
    When I tried to insert some dates in our format (dd/mm/yy) the SmartAlbum seemed to not work at all (not selecting any picture, or was coming out with weird results).
    After checking carefully that there was no filter set which could prevent the correct visualization of the pictures I had no explanation for the problem.
    At first I thought that this specific option was buggy as the other Smartalbum creation options (Keywords etc.) seemed to work properly.
    Then I had the idea and I tried to use the english format (mm/dd/yy) for the two dates inside the date range fields and to my surprise everything worked properly.
    So basically it seems that Aperture recognises the dates correctly only giving in input the american date format mm/dd/yy.
    What is not so noice is that there is no check on the date limit correctness so basically it is possible to really mess up with the dates.
    I'm also actually surprised the Aperture doesn't complies with the OS X date type which could seem the logical thing to do or at least is not consistent with the date type management inside the program because for example the pictures Dates are instead correctly listed in the List View of the browser according to the OS X date type (dd/mm/yy).
    I was wondering what is happening in countries where the date separator is not the "/" but the "." like typically used in Germany which would add another variable to the software routine which is interpreting the date input fields.....
    Maybe this could help other non english users who could have been confused like me on the same issue....
    Did you notice the same behaviour ? Am I missing something ?
    Uby

    Smart Albums will search in the Folder/Project that is shown at the top of the search HUD as well as all Folders and Projects "below" in your structure. However, it will not search through any Albums in that structure. Here is an example:
    You images are always stored in Projects (yellow icons) and lets say this is how it looks:
    FolderA/ProjectA (this Project stores: ImageA1, ImageA2)
    FolderA/ProjectB (this Project stores: ImageB1, ImageB2)
    Let us say that you have two Albums like below but there is an image from ProjectB in AlbumA, which looks like this:
    FolderA/ProjectA/AlbumA (this Album has pointers to: ImageA1, ImageA2, ImageB1)
    FolderA/ProjectB/AlbumB (this Album has pointers to: ImageB1, ImageB2)
    If you create a Smart Album below ProjectA it will only show ImageA1 and ImageA2 since it only search ProjectA and not AlbumA.
    This may be the issue you have.
    Are you 100% sure that the Project your Smart Album is pointing at does include the images you are trying to search through. As you see above then it won't find them if they are only in the albums below that project.
    Here are a few rules that I follow in order to avoid getting confused over where my images are located: A) Only include images in albums below a project that are stored in that project. B) Create all my smart albums at top library level and if necessary add extra filters like project name.
    Hope you understand.

  • Issue with the Data Type 'Number' in Business Objects

    Hi,
    I have an Object in the Universe where the Data Type of the Object is a number. This Column pertaining to this Object has certain values in the database out of which there is a 17 Digit Value which is 00000000031101165.
    Now, when trying to retreive the same value through Business Objects it is getting rounded off to 00000000031101200 automatically when trying to view in Webi and when trying to retreive the same in Designer/Deski, it displays as 0.000000003110116E+16.
    So, I would like to know if there is any other alternative in trying to retreive the Original Value that would not round off. Also, do we have any Limitation for the Data Type Number in Business Objects? The Version we are on is XI3.1.
    Note: There are no functions that are used on this Object at the Universe Level and would not like to use any functions here.

    What is the underlying database?
    It looks like the data is considered to have two decimals, but is rounded to zero decimals.
    Only you don't see the number formatting.
    Is this a BW query?
    Is this a calculated keyfigure?
    In the query you can specify the rounding you want and it is also possible to specify it on an infoobject level.
    Check those settings...
    Hope this helps,
    Marianne
    PS. Oh, and about the formatting, you can specify a default object format in the universe and override it on the final client (WebI, Crystal)

  • SQL Server 2014 Express, missing Data Type

    My problem is a simple one. When I create a new column and give it a Data Type, my options do not inlcude the "time" type. I found the documentation about available data types, and time is listed as one for SQL 2014. My desire is to have a data
    type that fits the HH:MM:SS format, excluding the date part that datetime offers. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    I did what you suggested, got this error:
    Msg 2715, Level 16, Sate 6, Line 1
    Column, parameter, or variable #6: Cannot find data type TIME.
    ALTER TABLE dbo.DataSchedule
    ALTER COLUMN StartClock TIME

  • Migrating Sybase "timestamp" data type to Oracle DB

    Hi,
    We are migrating huge Application currently running on Sybase database
    to Oracle 10.2.0.3 (500+ Tables and Stored Procedures).
    Have following questions regarding this Migration.
    1) Many of the Sybase Tables have column which is of Sybase data type "timestamp".
    Do you have any recommendation what is the data type to be used in Oracle for
    migrating "timestamp" data type in Sybase?
    2) How should we migrate existing data and business logic residing in Sybase for
    data columns of Sybase data type "timestamp" ?
    Given below are details on how we use Sybase timestamp Column in our Application
    and we are trying to arrive at the best Solution that is possible for migrating
    all those Tables and related business logic to Oracle.
    We have following Control Table in Sybase which has column of timestamp data type and
    some other Business keys.
    sp_help EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMP (This is similar to desc <table> command in Oracle)
    EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMP,dbo,user table
    default,Nov 14 2001 10:39AM
    CRE_TIMESTAMP ,timestamp,8,,,0,,,,0
    REF_NUM ,char,30,,,0,,,,0
    REC_UPD_DT ,datetime,8,,,1,,,,0
    EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMPI1,clustered, unique located on default, CRE_TIMESTAMP, REF_NUM, REC_UPD_DT,0,0,0,
    Following is the overall logic used in Sybase
    -- Step 1: Based on Event, populate Control Table with new Row.
    -- CRE_TIMESTAMP timestamp Column gets auto-populated by Sybase
    insert EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMP (REF_NUM, REC_UPD_DT)
    values (@uuid_ref_num, @event_cre_dt)
    Since CRE_TIMESTAMP is auto-populated, it does not appear in above INSERT statement.
    -- Step 2: Store timestamp value populated by Sybase in previous step,
    -- to variable @event_timestamp. This value would be referenced
    -- later in other SQL statements
    select @event_timestamp = CRE_TIMESTAMP
    from EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMP
    where REF_NUM = @uuid_ref_num
    and REC_UPD_DT = @event_cre_dt
    -- Sample value for @event_timestamp could be '001c0000182f2089'
    -- It is not very readable or understandable
    -- Step 3: Delete Control Table entry made in Step 1
    delete EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMP from EQP_IES_CRE_TIMESTAMP
    where CRE_TIMESTAMP = @event_timestamp
    -- Step 4: Make use of saved timestamp value from Step 2 to trigger queries
    -- against other Tables that have timestamp Columns
    -- Some sample queries are as shown below
    delete eqp_staging
    where event_timestamp > @event_timestamp;
    insert into eqp_movement values(@event_timestamp, ......other columns) ;
    Any idea how above Table and logic could be migrated to Oracle DB
    We would also like to know how data values that currently exist
    in Sybase Tables should be populated in Oracle .
    Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your responses.
    We have decided on Solution to migrate "timestamp" Column from Sybase to Oracle, that is
    specific to our Application needs.
    Following is what we decided:
    1) Create RAW Column in Oracle which would contain data Replicated from Sybase "timestamp" Column as is.
    2) Create additional Column of INTEGER data type to store number equivalent of Sybase "timestamp" column
    which would be more usable and consummable in Oracle as compared to RAW datatype.
    3) Write Row-Level INSERT/UPDATE Trigger on migrated Oracle Table to populate INTEGER Column using
    SQL Function TO_NUMBER(<raw_column_value>, 'xxxxxxxx').
    4) Applications that access this Table, upon migration to Oracle, will now start referencing INTEGER Column
    newly defined, and populated via Trigger.
    Please let us know if you see any issues with this approach
    Thanks
