Data Validation . How to do
Hi All,
I need to do data vaildation like Soure xml structure has field A that should have only 4 characters.
If character is more than 4 it should give error or some other thing.
How to do these types of data validations.
Regards
Hi,
Yes, standard function will return the length of string.
Just write an small UDF and do the mapping.
MappingTrace trace = container.getTrace();
if(a.length() > 4 )
trace.addWarning("The length is not proper.");
throw new RuntimeException("The length is not proper.");
return a;
Source ---> Length -> UDF--> Target.
Change the code & mapping as per your need.

Sarvesh

Data Validation - a feature that Numbers really needs.
Right now, the newly purchased Numbers app for iPad/iPhone is little more than a crippled document viewer for me because numbers doesn't support 'data validation' (as implemented in excel).
Its not a hard concept and likely utilized in a LOT of spreadsheets on the planet. Not supporting such a critical feature is a problem, as it makes numbers, at least for me, rather pointless as an authoring tool since I cannot change or update data in my worksheet without likely corrupting the document's data integrity.
Hopefully, someone at Apple is working on fixing this.
Given that one cannot use data validation - how do I lock down a spreadsheet so I don't accidentally change cell contents?
The fact that there is no 'undo' button on the iPhone version that I do get on the iPad (same app) makes it worse.. I'm occasionally and unintentionally dragging selections of stuff around the page really hosing up the iPhone spreadsheet.
So I need to just remember what needs to be updated, update the excel spreadsheet when I can, then delete the iWork-iCloud doc, upload the replacement, then refresh the iPhone/iPad version.. very cumbersome and not at all 'cloud-like' or usefull.
Apple developers.. are you paying attention?Yeah I know that apple likely has the same system as Microsoft in sending general support to a forum such as this. And maybe thae same stupid moron that not paying attention to the forums if their users is a food idea.
That doesn't change the point of the issue nor that apple directs ,e here to ask said question

How to do a date validation with leap years
I'm doing a date validation program in my Java class, and well it's pretty hard (for me that is). I have to be able to type in a date, have it say whether it's a leap year or not, and print out the number of days in the month. It seems pretty straight forward, but I get confused on trying to do the 'if else' statements and even the simplest things like getting the day prompting to work. >< The years I'm doing only goes through 1000 to 1999, so that's why those numbers are there. The program isn't complete, so if anyone could help show me what I'm doing wrong in the areas I'm working on then I'd appreciate it...and I'm still kind of in the basics of Java so if you do hint me with some code then I'd appreciate it if it was stuff that's not too advanced so yea.

}Here are some helpfull hints for you:
1. Your code is really hard to read, there are two main reasons for this. First, your indentation sucks. Second, you seem to be fascinated with saving two (ok four if you count the shift key) keypresses to avoid using { and }.
2. Not using the brackets (you know { and } which you like to avoid) also is causing your code to do some stuff you don't realize or want to happen, or at least it would be if your code compiled.
3. If statements require arguements, "year == 1" is an arguement, "3" is not an arguement. Each operator like the or operator ("||") is essentially a new if and requires a complete arguement. So the following code peice:
if (year == 1 || 3 || 5 || 7 || 8 || 10 || 12)Literally translates to if year equals 1 or if 3 or if 5 or if 7 or if 8 or if 10 or if 12. Doesn't make much sense in english, and it doesn't make much sense in Java either.
4. I am pretty sure "year" is not the variable you want in the code snippet above (the one used in hint 3), especially considering years 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 12 are not between 1000 and 1999. You need to be really carefull not make these kind of mistakes when coding, because they are by far the hardest to track down and fix later since they don't really throw up any flags or anything at compile or run time. Take your time and think thuroughly about each line of code while coding it, it will save you tons of time in the long run.
5. What exactly do you expect statements like "month = month;" to do? That translates as make month equal to month. Do you go to the bank and say " I have exactly $3.56 in my pocket, so I would like to deposite all $3.56 and then withdraw $3.56 and put it back in my pocket"? How do you think the teller would look at you? Teller would probably do it, but the teller would feel like he/she wasted time with you and that you are not really right in the head. Java feels the same way when you make it do the same thing, and you love to do it.
6. Code like the following is all wrong, and for more reasons than pointed out in hint 5.
if (month >= 1)
month = month;
else
if (month <= 12)
month = month;
else;Let's say someone put 13 in as the month. It passes the first check because 13 is greater than or equal to 1. so month which is 13, now gets set to 13 (gee that was effective). Now we hit the else and things get confusing because you didn't use brackets or proper indentation (hint 1) so we don't know what your real intent was. Did you mean else do nothing, and the next if statement is then executed, or did you mean to just run the next if statement if the else condition was met? Fortunatly it doesn't matter here because the next if statement is failed anyways since 13 is not less than or equal to 12.
So, we leave this code with month ebing 13, wait when did we add a 13th month to the calendar? Are you using the Jewish calendar? Could be, except even if I put 1234567 as the month your code would except it as valid, and I know no calendar with that many months. Try writing this in english first and translating it to jave, like i would probably say "if the month is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 12 then the month is valid." Course now what do you do if it is invalid? Hmm, maybe I would actually say "while the month is less than 1 or greater than 12 ask the user for the month" until they get it right.
There are a few other problems, but most of them are probably things you haven't learned yet, and they are not show stoppers so we will let them fly. You already have a lot of work to do to make this better. But I do have one more really really big usefull hint for you:
Never, ever, under any circumstances, should you ever ask in any way or even hint at asking for someone else to provide code solutions to your problems. So "so if you do hint me with some code then I'd appreciate it if it was stuff that's not too advanced " was a very bad thing to do, but fortunatly for you you followed it with proof you were trying to write the code yourself. Had the code you provided not been so full of problems it was obvious a beginner wrote it, you would probably have gotten much less cordial responses. I would seriously consider avoiding any implication of wanting code, at least until you become a regular poster here and people know you are not just looking to get your homework done for you.
Hope some of this helps.

How to setup data validation mechanism
Hi, gurus,
Now our customer wants to do data cleansing before loading data into infocube or ods, the source system includes R/3, flat file, and some legacy systems. However the client wants to create a staging area to keep incoming data, and develop some programming to check data validation. The specific requirement is as following:
1. Provider a user interface to let biz man to correct the error record;
2. can code logic to check the data rejection reason, such as field type is wrong, master data doesn't exist, and etc, and can prompt these reason message to assist business guy correct;
They want to create a specific staging for data cleansing purpose, and because refer to my prior experience with some ETL tools, we can ask developer to write embeded program in informatica or datastage to check data quality and write down the rejection reason in a file to assist business man correct;
so if we want to use SAP BW PSA for this purpose, is it feasible? Can we modify PSA to add one column, 'rejection reason' and add some ABAP program here; or you guys have some other good options for this function.
and can we use PSA to keep all data for 5 years? because the annual delta data is not very big, just 4G.
Someone suggests to create Z table in BW system for staging purpose, however this solution can not use BW ETL tool to load data but need heavy ABAP programming, so any good solution on this?
BTW: can I modify PSA structure to add 1 or 2 column, such as reject reason?
and how to use abap program to access Characteristics master data? are there any function module to read master data directly rather than select data from P table or T table?
Regards, lsI think if the business guy is given some basic BW training and some aspects about correcting PSA records or adding or loading missing master data,then it can work.
The BW monitor does give you good enough messages about the data load errors.
I do not think it is good to modify the PSA..because this is against purpose of having PSA.PSA has records in transfer structure format,as sent by source system.
PSA is often preserved for data reloads that might be needed some point in future.
As u r saying that annual record load is not big,u can preserve PSA and then later develop a custom program to delete PSA's older than..say 2-3 years..(there might a std program for this).
Modifying or adding columns to PSA is not general practice.
For reading master data maybe u can use this fn module..RSAU_READ_MASTER_DATA. -
How to do date validation in Web Dynpro java
Hi
We have one requirement that One input field with date type is there.When we take Date type input field then in web dynpro Date navigater is appearing by default.Our requirement is if user enters the date manually in the input filed instead of chossing the date from the Date navigator then how we will do the following date validations manually:
a. If user is entering the date in any format then it should convert it to dd.mm.yy format.
b. How to do leap year validation?Suppose user is entering 29.02.20007 then it should display Invalid date.
c. How to do the follwing date validation:
Let's say that current running hours(Text Vie
w) on a given engine is 100, entered on 10-Jun-2008(Running hour date-Text view)).
-On 15-Jun-2008(New Running Hour Date-input field), I try to enter a value of 300 hours(New running hour-input field).
-This is impossible, because only 5x24=120 hrs has passed from the previous update.
-Hence, in this case the maximum value I can enter is 100+120=220.
Can anybody help me in solving the above 3 date validation?Hi Susmita,
For your 3 rd requirement...
Initially you will be storing the first date entered by the user right???
Say that date is D1. and user entered hours is H1.
now after some days at day D2 user again trying to enter some hours say H2. Now you have to restrict user from entering hours which are
greater than 24*D2-D1....
so now you have to get D2-D1....
For this....
long l1=youdate1.getTime(); // This will convert your Date D1 into long...
then,
Date d=new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
long l2=d.getTime(); //which is a long value of current date...
So Now l2-l1 will give you number of days between past date and today's date...
So On Save you check for
if((l2-l1)*24<(H2-H1))
message("Please enter valied number of hours");
Hope this will help you....

How to make custom data validation on standard form.
Hi,
I have some little OAF experience. I have extended VO so far but I am still newbie.
I need to make custom data validation on standard form.
I Oracle Credit Management module on "Create Credit Application: Applicant" form I need
to validate chosen currency against customer setup (whether there is customer profile amount for the currency).
The page is /oracle/apps/ar/creditmgt/application/webui/ARCMCREDITAPPPAGE
There are controllers on the page:
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.creditAppContentFooterCO 115.14.15104.2
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.creditApplicationPageCO 115.6
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.creditAppRegion2CO 115.13.15104.2
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.creditApplicationCO 115.8.15104.3
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.creditAppRegion1CO 115.28.15104.4
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.creditAppBusBackCO 115.6
oracle.apps.ar.creditmgt.application.webui.OCMApplicantInfoRNCO 115.4
creditApplicationPageCO is pageLayout controller.
Please direct me how to achieve it.
Which controller should I extend (if any)?
How to get values from the page (customer site id, currency) and how to run custom sql in my CO class ?
Regards,
MarcinHi Marcin,
You have to find your GO button is handled in which standard controller, (if you click on the about this page, you should be able to identify the controller,
or you can download all the controller .class files and decompile and check the logic).
Then extend that controller(which has the Go button logic, you can see how it has been handled.),
The usual way to check is
if(pageContext.getParameter('<Go button name>') !=null)
Since you want to validate first your custom validation, in the extended controller ProcessFormRequest
dont call the super.processFormRequest unless your validation is success.
Call the super at the end.
Inside your extended controller you have to find your AM and then your required ViewObject to get the user entered values.
Thanks,
With regards,
Kali.

The timesheet creation failed, because of problems with the project I server or with data validation
Hi,
One of my user is facing issue in creating new time sheet,
"The time sheet creation failed, because of problems with the project server or with data validations".
This issue is coming to only few members out of 10000 members.
Note: For the same user, can able to do in other machines. only the problem in his machine. Have ran the office diagnostics, but still the problem persists.
Is any add-on's/any settings need to update in IE. Could any one please help me on how to fix this issue?
Many thanks in advance.I would check the compatibility settings in IE etc, or try another browser (chrome, safari etc.)

On a form w Validation, how to redirect to a custom page
Hi. I have created a form in Dreamweaver CS5 that uses spry validation successfully. Once the form is submitted, the user is redirected to the home page. But I don't want that redirect.
My question is, how can I have the validated page redirect to a custom thank you page I designed? I don't know the exact code/syntax to write to make it do what I want and, even if I had the code, I wouldn't know exactly where it should be placed. Please help if you can. Here's the source code. )BTW, when I use Dreamweaver Behaviors to add a URL redirect, it ignores the required validation and simply allows you to click the submit button and redirect.) Many thanks!

</html>Thanks for replying. The URL you've bolded is actually the correct page I'd like the redirect to go to when the form is successfully submitted after validation. But for some reason, that URL request is being ignored and the redirect brings me back to the index page in the root directory. I don't see anywhere in the code that makes the request to do that. Unless that's a default behavior if I've gotten the redirect wrong?
I don't know if this is helpful, but there is also a .js file that Dreamweaver created and attached to the above HTML source file. The .js file appears to have all the spry code validation including code for features and widgets I'm not even using. I searched through the code several times trying to identify where there might be a redirect to the index page but didn't recognize anything that made sense to me. Here is the complete, unedited file:

* (like the "-" sign in the middle of the value); use for partial matching of the currently typed value;
* the typed value must match regExpFilter at any moment
* - pattern : enforce character on each position inside a pattern (AX0?)
* - validation : function performing logic validation; return false if failed and the typedValue value on success
* - minValue, maxValue : range validation; check if typedValue inside the specified range
* - minChars, maxChars : value length validation; at least/at most number of characters

2.2.1. Preferred
x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address.
Examples:
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in an
individual field, but there must be at least one numeral in every
field (except for the case described in 2.2.2.).
2.2.2. Compressed
The use of "::" indicates multiple groups of 16-bits of zeros.
The "::" can only appear once in an address. The "::" can also be
used to compress the leading and/or trailing zeros in an address.
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A --> 1080::8:800:200C:417A
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 --> FF01::101

Losing Data Validation Messages when writing back to context
( The base for this question is the ALV grid in section 2 of this [TimeSheetMockUp|http://www.duke.edu/~michaelm/TimeCard/AnnotatedTimeSheet.jpg] )
Users enter values in the white cells which represent the hours recorded on a given day for a certain type of time.
Lets say we have a z-object that supplies us with the overall grid structure, including the headers and (the shaded) summarization cells. The web dynpro ALV had been set to allow input only on the raw data cells. They are set to 4 places with one decimal.
As the app was being developed, when we entered invalid data in a cell, such as 123456, or 1.2345 or u2018qu2019, a nice message was displayed that told the us about the issue. This was free u2013 I guess the phase model does that for us, and we liked it.
Well, down the road a pieceu2026 we needed to add a method to recalc all the summary values from the raw inputs.
METHOD wddoafteraction .
* wizard: navigate to and get the rows data *
DATA lo_nd_nd_rows TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lt_nd_rows TYPE wd_this->elements_nd_rows.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <ND_ROWS> via lead selection
lo_nd_nd_rows = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_nd_rows ).
lo_nd_nd_rows->get_static_attributes_table( IMPORTING table = lt_nd_rows ).
* do the math *
DATA lt_updated_rows TYPE wd_this->elements_nd_rows.
CALL METHOD wd_assist->o_wc->recalc_update_and_return_wrows
EXPORTING
im_rows = lt_nd_rows
IMPORTING
ex_rows = lt_updated_rows.
* repopulate the rows *
lo_nd_nd_rows->bind_table( new_items = lt_updated_rows set_initial_elements = abap_true ).
Now, weu2019re losing all the nice data validation messages u2013 they do not display (the offending entries are just cleared) !!!
After some investigation, it seems that the bind_table call is where they get lost (without that call, they appear) .
Iu2019ve tried placing this code in a number of hook methods, but the same thing occurs. It is currently in the viewu2019s afteraction hook.
So, u2026 I have two questions.
u2022 How do I get my nice messages back. ?
u2022 Where is the right place to update my context from
( Btw, downstream, our recalc outines will also want to throw messages that we will want processed after we get through the initial validation )
Thanksu2026

Date Validation problem in form with report
Hi,
I am stuck on this date validation issue in a form with report that I am working on-
I have an Active_date_start and an Active_date_end field. I want to validate the form in such a way that if the user enters the Active_date_end < active_date_start then it should error out appropriately asking to change the active_end_date . Also another problem is that the changes are made to the active_date_end they should reflect in the table. How do I accomplish this.
Appreciate all the help offered.
Thanks.Hi,
Thanks for the code.Now the APPLY CHANGES works fine except that it throws an error when I change the end date to a date which is less than the start date . So it does show me my error and does not go further but also shows me the error -
Invalid PL/SQL expression condition: ORA-06550: line 1, column 29: PLS-00306: wrong number
or types of arguments in call to 'NVL' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement
ignored Invalid PL/SQL expression condition: ORA-06550: line 1, column 29: PLS-00306:
wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'NVL' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I looked up the error number and it says its a generic error type where the error can be found on the line number specified. But in this case how and where do I look for the error line?. This is the code I am using-
DECLARE
vACTIVE_DATE_START DATE;
vACTIVE_DATE_END DATE;
BEGIN
vACTIVE_DATE_START := TO_DATE(:P4_ACTIVE_DATE_START, 'DD/MM/YYYY');
vACTIVE_DATE_END := TO_DATE(:P4_ACTIVE_DATE_END, 'DD/MM/YYYY');
IF vACTIVE_DATE_END < vACTIVE_DATE_START THEN
RETURN 'End date is before start date';
ELSE
RETURN NULL;
END IF;
END;
My base table has the active_date_start as NOT NULL. Now I have the exact same code for APPLY CHANGES
in other form and it works fine not giving the above error. I am at a loss to know how I can get rid of the error.
Any suggestions!.
Thanks in advance,

Need to make date validation to remove overlab
I have a problem in date validation
I will tell you the scenario
I have department table as a master table and under this department there is some teachers.
Eeach teacher have Start Hiring Date and End Hiring Date .
I want to prevent to insert a new teacher with Start Hiring date or End hiring date between any period inserted before in this department .
This means in any period there is only one hired teacher
how can I do this validationAssumed that you are using ADF BC, I reproduced your use case, and tried this. you can also try it,
CREATE TABLE test_department
( id numeric(10) not null,
name varchar2(50) not null,
CONSTRAINT dpt_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
CREATE TABLE teachers
( id numeric(10) PRIMARY KEY ,
dept_id numeric(10) not null,
start_date date,
end_date date,
CONSTRAINT fk_emp FOREIGN KEY (dept_id)
REFERENCES test_department(id)
insert into test_department values (1,'Math');
insert into teachers values(1,1,to_date('1/1/2010','DD/MM/YYYY'),to_date('31/12/2010','DD/MM/YYYY'));add a validate entity method to you TeacherImpl class.
public boolean validateTeachers()
TestDepartmentImpl deptImpl = this.getTestDepartment(); // TestDepartment is the accessor name exposed in TeachersImpl class
RowIterator iter = deptImpl.getTeachers(); //Teachers is the accessor name exposed in DepartmentImpl class
boolean flag = true;
while (iter.hasNext())
TeachersImpl currentTeacher = (TeachersImpl)iter.next();
if (!currentTeacher.getId().equals(this.getId())) //skip the current teacher from comparison
if (this.getStartDate().compareTo(currentTeacher.getStartDate()) >
0 && this.getEndDate().compareTo(currentTeacher.getEndDate())<0)
flag=false;
return flag;

hi experts
I got request to change one data validation query.
In the existing query,I see three parts...in top(first part) part,we have one query view from One cube.....when we come to middle part(second)..it has one query view from second cube.....finally,the third and bottom part contains some excel formulas which substract middle part(second) total from top part(first) total and shows the result....
so when I run the query it automatically populates top part(first) from one cube and second part(middle) from other cube and shows result in third and bottom part...
my change request is:
I donot need to change the top part(first)...I need to change middle part(second view from top)....but I donot know how to change this one....if I search on technical name of this whole Datavalidation query ...it just shows query corresponding the top part of this data validation query....
Please advise how to do this if any of you have idea
Regards,
SChand

There can be one of the two erason,
Either source data got corrupt. In your case the data in fltfile was not appropriate yesterday,, May be..
Or someone has change the Info package/Process chain for load the data and change that again today. (Check if is there any Info Package routine is written and got changed recently.
I hope it will help.

Date validation in ABAP Webdynpro.
Hi,
I have created a field for date in my table and binded it with a field of a data dictionary table . The problem is when the user enters the year , whether one , two or three digits it automatically sets the remaining digits and the year is a four digit value . This happens even before reading the value of the date field attribute , so I m not able to find a way to validate that user enters the four digits of the year accurately.Hi,
Pls check out this thread on date validation in detail-
How can I check these data whether valid ?

Hi,
Can anyone explain how to do data validation for the i/p fields in the WD View???Pleasegive an example with coding.
Thanks!Hi,
As Thomas pointed out in his reply that do the validation at WDDOBEFOREACTION method
say you have a date to validate:
DATA lo_nd_importing TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_importing TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_importing TYPE wd_this->element_importing.
DATA lv_startdate LIKE ls_importing-startdate.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <IMPORTING> via lead selection
lo_nd_importing = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_importing ).
get element via lead selection
lo_el_importing = lo_nd_importing->get_element( ).
get single attribute
lo_el_importing->get_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `STARTDATE`
IMPORTING
value = lv_startdate ).
if lv_startdate is initial.
get message manager
DATA lo_api_controller TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller.
DATA lo_message_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_message_manager.
lo_api_controller ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
CALL METHOD lo_api_controller->get_message_manager
RECEIVING
message_manager = lo_message_manager
report message
CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_error_message
EXPORTING
message_text = 'Please input start date'
params =
msg_user_data =
is_permanent = ABAP_FALSE
scope_permanent_msg = CO_MSG_SCOPE_CONTROLLER
view =
show_as_popup =
controller_permanent_msg =
msg_index =
cancel_navigation = 'X' "this parameter will stop the program at the same view
endif.
this will stop the user at the same view and will give the error message out.....
you can also check the code wizard and try different type of methods to give out the error messages....the code wizard is right beside the external break point button...
Thanks...
