Data Validation - Tool selection.

We are trying to validate our Enterprise Data warehouse and we would like to avoid giving SQL Server Management Studio access to the untrained Analysts. We initially wanted to use a single ODC connection in a spreadsheet and have each table tied to one sheet.
But the larger tables (487K rows) is bogging down the spreadsheet. However, even if we remove the larger tables, a couple of smaller once seem to freeze Excel also.
I have marked this as a discussion and I am looking for ideas on what end-user friendly tools you have used to validate data.

Hi,
Yes this is normal way as you entered wrong value in s_bukrs unless and until you change that you cannot proceed further.
instead of at selection-screen on s_bukrs.
use at selection-screen.
if s_bukrs is not initial.
do processing .,
and display info message'
endif.
or ., instead of error message use dispaly like 'E'
like.,
at selection-screen on s_bukrs.
check authority.,
MESSAGE 'You are not Authorized to use the Company Code' type 'S' display like 'E'.
hope this helps you,
Thanks & Regards.

Best email data validation tools?

Hi all,
Does anybody have recommendations for a good data validation tool out there?
I have an email list that I want to send to but I'm not sure how many email addresses are valid and how many are not.
Thanks in advance!
Luke

Thanks! We've tried that in the past and it works fine most of the time. Our only concern with datavalidation.com was the price and that there was a lot of good email addresses were being graded as do not send. Are there any other tools out there better than datavalidation.com?

Date validation using select-options

i have declared date1 as select-options which is in date format.
I need to validate min of SIX months duration from LOW value to HIGH value in select-options.How to validate for min SIX months

Hi,
u can go through the following code..
data:
w_date like sy-datum.
select-options:
s_date for w_date.
initialization.
s_date-high = sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL'
EXPORTING
    DATE            = s_date-high
    DAYS            = 0
    MONTHS          = 6
    SIGNUM          = '-'
    YEARS           = 0
IMPORTING
   CALC_DATE       = w_date .
s_date-low = w_date.
append s_date.

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 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, ls

I 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.

Multiple select options validation at selection screen

Hi,
I have the requirement to create a selection screen with 3 select options. Two of them are cross-dependent. It is mandatory to fill one of them and it is not allowed to fill both. The third one is optional. I tried the validation at selection-screen on block... and I have a problem that search help buttons for select options react like execution buttons, when I press any of them I am getting one of errors instead of search help.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Here is my code:
DATA:
 so_rbkp TYPE rbkp,
 so_mseg TYPE mseg.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK blok WITH FRAME.
SELECT-OPTIONS:
 s_fakt FOR so_rbkp-belnr,
 s_matdok FOR so_mseg-mblnr,
 s_god FOR so_mseg-gjahr.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK blok.
INITIALIZATION.
SET TITLEBAR '0100'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on block blok.
 if s_fakt <> space and s_matdok <> space.
 MESSAGE 'Message1' TYPE 'E'.
 elseif s_fakt = space and s_matdok = space.
 MESSAGE 'Message2' TYPE 'E'.
 endif.
 ENDIF.

Only perform the check when user wants to execute or submit the program, not when pressing F4 or even Enter, but in a selection-screen event, before START-OF-SELECTION which were program would terminate in error :
TABLES: SSCRFIELDS.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OB BLOCK b01.
 IF sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'ONLI'
 OR sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'PRIN'
 OR sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'SJOB'.
 IF s_fakt[] IS NOT INITIAL AND s_matdok IS NOT INITIAL.
 MESSAGE 'Message1' TYPE 'E'.
 ELSEIF s_fakt[] IS INITIAL and s_matdok[] IS INITIAL.
 MESSAGE 'Message2' TYPE 'E'.
 ENDIF.
 ENDIF.
(You could also always send the message, but using type 'E' for those function code and 'S' status for any other value.)

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
u2026Mike

Request Data Validator is not working

Hi Guys,
I am trying to invoke a plugin while submitting a request through CATALOG in OIM 11gR2. The user case i am trying to achieve is - (1) User/Admin login to OIM and go to CATALOG option (2) Select an Application instance, fill the values in the form and checkout (3) While submitting this validator should invoke which will validate the request data and throw exception if any.
For this i was thinking to utilize the plugin for oracle.iam.request.plugins.RequestDataValidator "This is used for custom validation of request data after submission"
My plugin.xml looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oimplugins>
<plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.request.plugins.RequestDataValidator">
<plugin pluginclass="com.test.oim.TestRequestValidator" version="1.0" name="TestReqValidator">
</plugin>
</plugins>
</oimplugins>
And i am using simple code as below
package com.test.oim;
import oracle.iam.request.exception.InvalidRequestDataException;
import oracle.iam.request.plugins.RequestDataValidator;
import oracle.iam.request.vo.RequestData;
+public class TestRequestValidator implements RequestDataValidator {+
+public TestRequestValidator() {+
super();
+}+
+public void validate (RequestData reqDta) throws InvalidRequestDataException{+
System.out.println("************************************************");
System.out.println("***Justification***" reqDta.getJustification());+
throw new InvalidRequestDataException(new Exception("Invalid User"));
+}+
+}+
My plugin directory contains the plugin.xml file and the jar file (with above class) under lib directory. I placed the zip file under OIM_HOME/Plugin directory and even restarted the servers.
However this code is not invoking and i can successfully create the request (i tried from user and admin both). Please advise if anyone has any idea. Thanks

Hi Duncan,
I have mapped the DataSet validator element in my plugin.xml file
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<oimplugins>+
+<plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.request.plugins.RequestDataValidator">+
+<plugin pluginclass="com.test.oim.OIMREQValidate" version="1.2" name="OIMREQValidate">+
+<metadata name="Data Validator">+
+<value>AssignRolesDataSet|ModifyUserDataset</value>+
+</metadata>+
+</plugin>+
+</plugins>+
+</oimplugins>+
Still my request data validator is not getting invoked. I can successfully create the request. (Per this validator every request should fail and logs should getting logged). My validate method code is below
+public void validate (RequestData reqDta) throws InvalidRequestDataException{+
RequestLogger.LOGGER.logp(Level.WARNING, "OIMREQValidate", "validate", "CALLING THE CUSTOM PLUGIN");
System.out.println("***Justification***" reqDta.getJustification());+
throw new InvalidRequestDataException(new Exception("Invalid User"));
+}+

Date Processing for Select-Option

Dear forumers,
I have a select-option element that takes in a range of PO Date.
The SELECT statement is as follows:-
select ebeln
       bedat
       ekorg
       ekgrp
       bukrs
from ekko
into corresponding fields of table gt_ekko
where bedat in s_p_date and   " s_p_date is a select-option for bedat
      ekorg in s_p_org and
      ekgrp in s_p_grp.
If valid low and high dates are inputted here, then there will be data correctly retrieved into the internal table gt_ekko.
However, if the low and high dates are equal, then there will be no data retrieved into the internal table gt_ekko at all.
How can I correct this? Please help. Thanks.
Additionally, is there an easier way to display this PO date (results) in an ALV list as the dd.mm.yyyy format instead of the yyyymmdd format?

Janagar,
I need to have my select-option, s_p_date with an interval (it's part of my requirements).
types:
begin of gs_so_input,
bedat type ekko-bedat,      " PO Document Date
eindt type eket-eindt,      " Item Delivery Date
lifnr type lfa1-lifnr,      " Vendor Number
matnr type ekbe-matnr,      " Material Number
ekorg type ekko-ekorg,      " Purchasing Organisation
ekgrp type ekko-ekgrp,      " Purchasing Group
end of gs_so_input.
data:
gs_input type gs_so_input.
select-options:
s_p_date for gs_input-bedat obligatory,
s_d_date for gs_input-eindt,
s_v_num for gs_input-lifnr,
s_m_num for gs_input-matnr,
s_p_org for gs_input-ekorg,
s_p_grp for gs_input-ekgrp.

Is there a equivalent of "Data Validation" function in Numbers?

Hi, I think this question have been asked before in 2009. But there's no conclusive answer. I just imported a medium complexity xlsx sheet into Numbers, "data validation have been removed data retained" message appeared. Is there a equivalent function in Numbers? Or can we construct one? The reason this is important is when using the Macs we are ok and less likely to "fat finger" the data entry. However with a iPad and especially the iPhone, we are more likely to "fat finger" the data entry and therefore a scroll wheel or drop-down list function will help.
If anyone has a helpful answer that will be great!
Ken
===

"Data Validation" as such is not supported in Numbers.
Numbers '09 does support two means of restricting data choices to a pre-determined list of choices:
Pop-up menu is a cell format that provides a pop-up list of choices from which a value may be selected. Value not on the menu cannot be inserted (except by changing the cell's format, then entering the values manually).
Slider and Stepper are two more cell formats. Both provide a mechanism for inserting numeric values, with the minimum, maximum and increment values set in the cell format inspector.
The numeric values set by the Slider or Stepper can be used, in a separate cell, to lookup a text value from a table of possible values.
The Numbers for iOS feature set is a subset of the one available in Numbers '09. I don't know if Pop-up menus, Sliders or Steppers are supported in the iOS version,
