Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln

Hi all.
I'm using a Web Service obtained by copying the CRM 7.0 built-in WS APPTACTCRTRC.
I'm using it to create Appointments using an Adobe Interactive Form.
It goes everything fine (a Date is created in the system, with all the input data properly set) excepted the dates...
The WS uses two TIMESTAMPS, TIMESTAMP_FROM for StartDateTime and TIMESTAMP_TO for EndDateTime, whereas the GUI transaction to create Dates accepts dates and times in separated fields.
Going in Debug I can see that the execution ends with the following error, referred to the involved entity (CRM_APPOINTMENT):
Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln
CRM_APPOINTMENT uses date profile 0000000001 with three possible date types: ORDERACTUAL, ORDERPLANNED and ORDERPROPOSED and I cannot find anywhere date type ACTActPln (just to add it in customizing).
Is anyone able to enlight me?
Thank you in advance!

PS I've years of experience in Java programming but I'm quite new to the SAP world. Maybe the problem is not a problem at all, but it seems to me as such. Even if it has a trivial solution, please let me know. Thx!

Hi,
Well I was about to write that you should enter date in decimal format. but you already did that as mentioned in How to set a date in a Form where the bound date format is a decimal?
In response to following from above thread (copied for others to understand my response)
Hi all.
I'm successfully using the LiveCycle Designer and I've managed to remotely create Appointments using a CRM Web Service (a mere copy of APPTACTCRTRC).
The only problem I'm encountering is that I'm not able to set the dates/times (start and end of the appointment).
Dragging each of the two fields from the WSDL based Data Connection I obtain a Decimal Field limited to 15 digits.
How can I write a date and time in such a field?
I've tried with a retroverse date as YYYYMMDDHHmmss (for example, 20100301124500) but it does not work
(the appointment is indeed created, but with the start date and time fields filled with
the current date/time and the end date and time fields filled with the current date and time plus 10 minutes).
The retroverse date above is only 14 digit long, so, maybe, this is the problem.
But, given the field definition, I'm not able to fill a blank space between the date and the time.
I'm not able to put a dot either.
What should I do?
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Alessandro
15 digit in UTC time format here is fraction of second so you should enter 201003011245000 (add one more zero).
14th Oct 2010 16:00 should be written as 201010141600000, so just try it and and see if it works, I guess if you do not supply end time then by default it will be starttime + 10 min but this is just guess.

Is there a way to use the FF vi's to read and write complex data types; specifically, clusters?

I'm trying to interface with a Fieldbus device through LabVIEW. I need to be able to read and write a variable that consists of a cluster of two unsigned int 32's. The FF vi's provided with FF Communications Manager 3.2 do not support clusters. I have tried to use a code interface node to write my own, but the CIN's I was using before to do this function do not give me a device list anymore (they were originally written on Communications Manager 2.3.5). I have recompiled the .lsb, as well as trying to use the older versions of the header and library files. Is there another workaround I can use?

Hello Bryan,
The BrowseDeviceList VI was released within NI-FBUS 3.2. For NI-FBUS Configurator 3.1, please unzip the attached file and copy the "addon" and "Ff" folders into "\vi.lib" directory. LabVIEW 7.1 or above version is required for using these addons.
And for your information, there is a free upgrade (version 3.1.1) for NI-FBUS Configurator 3.1 users. Here is the link to the upgrade kit.

Unicode and non-unicode string data types Issue with 2008 SSIS Package

Hi All,
I am converting a 2005 SSIS Package to 2008. I have a task which has SQL Server as the source and Oracle as the destination. I copy the data from a SQL server view with a field nvarchar(10) to a field of a oracle table varchar(10). The package executes fine
on my local when i use the data transformation task to convert to DT_STR. But when I deploy the dtsx file on the server and try to run from an SQL Job Agent it gives me the unicode and non-unicode string data types error for the field. I have checked the registry
settings and its the same in my local and the server. Tried both the data conversion task and Derived Column task but with no luck. Pls suggest me what changes are required in my package to run it from the SQL Agent Job.
Thanks.

What is Unicode and non Unicode data formats
Unicode :
A Unicode character takes more bytes to store the data in the database. As we all know, many global industries wants to increase their business worldwide and grow at the same time, they would want to widen their business by providing
services to the customers worldwide by supporting different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Many websites these days are supporting international languages to do their business and to attract more and more customers and that makes life
easier for both the parties.
To store the customer data into the database the database must support a mechanism to store the international characters, storing these characters is not easy, and many database vendors have to revised their strategies and come
up with new mechanisms to support or to store these international characters in the database. Some of the big vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other database vendors started providing the international character support so that the data can be stored
and retrieved accordingly to avoid any hiccups while doing business with the international customers.
The difference in storing character data between Unicode and non-Unicode depends on whether non-Unicode data is stored by using double-byte character sets. All non-East Asian languages and the Thai language store non-Unicode characters
in single bytes. Therefore, storing these languages as Unicode uses two times the space that is used specifying a non-Unicode code page. On the other hand, the non-Unicode code pages of many other Asian languages specify character storage in double-byte character
sets (DBCS). Therefore, for these languages, there is almost no difference in storage between non-Unicode and Unicode.
Encoding Formats:
Some of the common encoding formats for Unicode are UCS-2, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 have been made available by database vendors to their customers. For SQL Server 7.0 and higher versions Microsoft uses the encoding format UCS-2 to store the UTF-8 data. Under
this mechanism, all Unicode characters are stored by using 2 bytes.
Unicode data can be encoded in many different ways. UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two common ways to store bit patterns that represent Unicode characters. Microsoft Windows NT, SQL Server, Java, COM, and the SQL Server ODBC driver and OLEDB
provider all internally represent Unicode data as UCS-2.
The options for using SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 as a backend server for an application that sends and receives Unicode data that is encoded as UTF-8 include:
For example, if your business is using a website supporting ASP pages, then this is what happens:
If your application uses Active Server Pages (ASP) and you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add "<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>" to your server-side ASP script.
This instructs IIS to convert all dynamically generated strings (example: Response.Write) from UCS-2 to UTF-8 automatically before sending them to the client.
If you do not want to enable sessions, you can alternatively use the server-side directive "<%@ CodePage=65001 %>".
Any UTF-8 data sent from the client to the server via GET or POST is also converted to UCS-2 automatically. The Session.Codepage property is the recommended method to handle UTF-8 data within a web application. This Codepage
setting is not available on IIS 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0.
Sorting and other operations :
The effect of Unicode data on performance is complicated by a variety of factors that include the following:
1. The difference between Unicode sorting rules and non-Unicode sorting rules
2. The difference between sorting double-byte and single-byte characters
3. Code page conversion between client and server
Performing operations like >, <, ORDER BY are resource intensive and will be difficult to get correct results if the codepage conversion between client and server is not available.
Sorting lots of Unicode data can be slower than non-Unicode data, because the data is stored in double bytes. On the other hand, sorting Asian characters in Unicode is faster than sorting Asian DBCS data in a specific code page,
because DBCS data is actually a mixture of single-byte and double-byte widths, while Unicode characters are fixed-width.
Non-Unicode :
Non Unicode is exactly opposite to Unicode. Using non Unicode it is easy to store languages like ‘English’ but not other Asian languages that need more bits to store correctly otherwise truncation will occur.
Now, let’s see some of the advantages of not storing the data in Unicode format:
1. It takes less space to store the data in the database hence we will save lot of hard disk space.
2. Moving of database files from one server to other takes less time.
3. Backup and restore of the database makes huge impact and it is good for DBA’s that it takes less time
Non-Unicode vs. Unicode Data Types: Comparison Chart
The primary difference between unicode and non-Unicode data types is the ability of Unicode to easily handle the storage of foreign language characters which also requires more storage space.
Non-Unicode
Unicode
(char, varchar, text)
(nchar, nvarchar, ntext)
Stores data in fixed or variable length
Same as non-Unicode
char: data is padded with blanks to fill the field size. For example, if a char(10) field contains 5 characters the system will pad it with 5 blanks
nchar: same as char
varchar: stores actual value and does not pad with blanks
nvarchar: same as varchar
requires 1 byte of storage
requires 2 bytes of storage
char and varchar: can store up to 8000 characters
nchar and nvarchar: can store up to 4000 characters
Best suited for US English: "One problem with data types that use 1 byte to encode each character is that the data type can only represent 256 different characters. This forces multiple
encoding specifications (or code pages) for different alphabets such as European alphabets, which are relatively small. It is also impossible to handle systems such as the Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul alphabets that have thousands of characters."<sup>1</sup>
Best suited for systems that need to support at least one foreign language: "The Unicode specification defines a single encoding scheme for most characters widely used in businesses around the world.
All computers consistently translate the bit patterns in Unicode data into characters using the single Unicode specification. This ensures that the same bit pattern is always converted to the same character on all computers. Data can be freely transferred
from one database or computer to another without concern that the receiving system will translate the bit patterns into characters incorrectly.

How to get data type of variable in program..

Hi ABAP Guru.
I need to know how to get data type of variable or any structure field.. because I got short dump when use command REPLACE ALL OCCURANCE ... with variable/structure field that has data type I or P, I think it should be used with data type CHAR only, So I need to check the data type first.
Please give me your advice
Thank you all.

Use data type enhancement in XSLT mapping in XI

Hi Experts,
I'm working on SNC and I need to add an element to a data type. I have created a data type enhancemnet with the element in it. Now I need to get this into my XSLT mapping. I have tried creating a message type but the data type enhancement is not recognized.
Are data type enhancements only for proxies? Can they be used in an XSLT or graphical mapping in XI?
Thanks
David Pauley

Upon further investigation I found that Data Type Enhancements can be used with any message mapping. There are a couple of things that you must get right. First when creating the Data Type Enhancement make sure you use the namespace for your custom SWC that you created. Next make sure that in the Ehancement for Data Type you use the SAP supplied data type name and namespace. It also seems that your data type enhancement name, mapping name, and operational mapping name must have the Z_ prefix. Save and activate, then go to system which owns the enhancement and go to SPROXY, you should see your custom SWC and under that you should see your enhanced data type, mapping, and operational mapping. Activate and modify methods as needed here.

Table in Smartforms cannot use data type CURR

Hello everyone,
I have trouble with Smartform
in Main window , I want to show data in table.
in main area of table .
I want to show data of amount in document (BSEG-DMBTR)
in text of main area. I add work area W_LINE_ITEM-DMBTR.(declare W_LINE_ITEM TYPE BSEG in Global definitions)
but when i execute report program I got error message "W_LINE_ITEM-DMBTR Unknown in form"
it's appear error for data type CURR only, for data type CHAR. it is OK.
Is Smartform can show data type Curr ?
what should i do to solve problem ?
Please help.

Hi,
The best way wud be just to use the "Currency/Quan. Fields" tab...
In Global definition,, go in "Currency/Quan. Fields" tab -> declare the the field as below for W_LINE_ITEM-DMBTR,,
Field Name Reference Field Data type
W_LINE_ITEM-DMBTR BSEG-DMBTR CURR

A structure with mutiple data types or array of array

I want to read some soft of a table from a text file and want to store in a structure (not in database) for future use. I want the structure to have rows and columns when I need to reach. Colums should store multiple data types (int and/or string). I have examined Collections that only store one data type and only one dimension. I need a structure that holds multiple datatypes and at least 2 dimension. In short I need array of array? Any example or suggestion?

What is "Data Type" in Custom Script of Requirement

I want to create a custom script in "Requirement" of Applications.
It is different from "Detection Method", These is "Data Type" in The custom script of "Requirement"
I know how to create script in "Detection Method"！
But I don't know what is "date type" in "Requirement" , how does it work with script,
how to return the result of wscript.echo

You can use the Wscript.Echo result to check the requirement. The Data Type is only used to specify if the output is something like a String or Integer. Based on the type you just got some different options to check.

Decimal data type multiplied by quantity data type

Hi all,
i have a requirement where i have to multiply 3 fields, and get that result into fourth field.
example:
data: f1 type dec,    [Data type - Decimal; length 7]
        f2 type dec,    [Data type - Decimal; length 7]
        f3 type quan. [Data type - Quantity; length 17]
data: f4 type ??
f4 = f1 * f2 * f3.
what will the data type of field f4?
Will field f4 be of decimal type. If yes, then what is the declaration syntax of f4.
can i declare it as:
data: f4 type dec.
When i do this, i get an error saying type DEC is unknown.
NOTE: For your information.I AM IMPLEMENTING THIS IN A method inside a BADI.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
U need to use a reference to a dictionary field (like MSEG-MENGE) because there isn't an abap type to be used, the data type are only these:
C     Character
N     Numeric string
D     Date        (YYYYMMDD)
T     Time:            HHMMSS)
X     Byte (hexadecimal)
I      Integer
P     Packed number
F     Floating point number
STRING String         Variable empty string
If there isn't a dictionary field good for you, u can only use the type P.
So or:
DATA F4 TYPE MSEG-MENGE. (this field has 3 decimals)
or
DATA F4(16) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

Verifing the data type

Hi,
I'd like to know how can I verify if the variable contains only the data type that I'm expecting for. In SQLSERVER we have the IS_NUMERIC, IS_CHAR... functions. Is there something similar in ORACLE? How can I use it?
Thanks.

It is easy enough to test whether a value is numeric. You can create a function like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION IS_NUMBER (p_test_val IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
l_t_val NUMBER;
BEGIN
   l_t_val := TO_NUMBER(p_test_val);
   RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION WHEN VALUE_ERROR THEN
   RETURN FALSE;
END;This attempts to convert the value passed in (note that the parameter is a character type) to a number. If it suceeds, then it retrns TRUE. If the conversion causes an error, then the exception handler catches it and returns FALSE.
The BOOLEAN data type is only valid in PL/SQL (and probably other host languages like C or Java), you cannot use this function in a SQL statement. To use this in a SQL statement, then you would need to change the return type to number, and return something like 1 for TRUE and 0 for FALSE.
To use the function in a PL/SQL procedure, you could do something like:
DECLARE
l_val_to_test VARCHAR2(10) := '123';
BEGIN
   IF is_number (l_val_to_test) THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line ('Value is a number');
   ELSE
      DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line ('Value is not a number');
   END IF;
END;Which would return TRUE.

Data Type field read only in Data source for transaction data (PC_FILE)

Hi folks,
I need to change Data Type for some of the fields in "Field" tab in data source for transactional data. It became read only after I activate the data source. Need help in making it editable. All fields now have Data type=CHAR.

Using Time Machine, is it possible to back up a computer AFTER a specific date. I only want to back up files from AFTER January 2015. Is this possible, and how can I do this?

Is what you're saying that you only want backups in TM of the state of your Mac from January 2015 to the current date and nothing before then? I'd think the simplest solution would just be to delete in TM all the backups prior to 1/15 and then let TM do its thing. The ultimate source for all things Time Machine is here. On this page, note the comment that "Time Machine will never delete the backup copy of anything that was on the disk being backed-up at the time of any remaining backup" which I understand to mean that if you delete all the backups in the TM file prior to 1/15, any file that wasn't present on your Mac as of 1/15 will no longer be represented in the TM file. Note that the second link also has instructions for how to delete TM files.
If you were trying to accomplish something else, then as Emily Litella (Gilda Radner in SNL) used to say, "never mind."

Is Solution data base is transcation type specific ?

Hi Every body ,
I am new to solution manager . I crated a new ticket type from standard SLFN . That is working fine .
Now i need to configure solution data base . I assigned the 'SDB create' action in action profiles also .
I could not see the solution database tab in transaction details of ticket . And even if i use action " create solution in solution data base ' from actions that is not working .
1 . Please provide good documents for SDB
2 . How do i get tab solution database in transaction details of ticket
3 . How can i configure the action ' Create solution in solution data base ' Action .
4 . Is solution data base is ticket type specific ? . IF yes how can i configure that for one ticket type .
Thanks in advance ,

Characteristic of Data Type = Date follows User Profile Only

Hi All
In EHS SVT the characteristic TSCAList_Date [SAP_EHS_1023_053_DATE_LIST] is of Data Type = Date) and follows the date format defined in the User Profile of actual user.
If a user is using EU profile such as:
EU date format = 1 DD.MM.YYYY
EU decimal notation format = 1.234.567,89
If he enters a date in another format (Such as YYYY-MM-DD - 2010-03-27) than the one defined in the User Profile (DD.MM.YYYY - 27.03.2010); he will get an error message text: "Value (&) is not numeric"
Question:
How he can bypass this error and allow SAP make the conversion to changing the date entered (2010-03-27) to the one used in the User profile (27.03.2010)?
I will apreciate any Help

Hello Ouadria
very interesting request indeed.
a.) my understanding of SAP GUI approach is: user has an user id and logon parameter
b.) by specifing an user profile some "default" set up should be used in further UI interaction in SAP GUI interface (especially date format etc.)
c.) Therefore it makes "no" sense to use a "different" format in entering a date etc. as specified in the user profile; in addition I believe the "look and feel" of the data (display and no maintain) is once again connected to the user profile, That means if you change the data in user profile the "date" format and "numeric" format should change in UI; this "change" should be active after saving the profile once again (regarding fonts etc. in UI: the change is done "immediate"; user profile changes is done in a further session and I believe the original session is not changed (not sure ..))
d.) indipendent on user profile the application makes sure that the data is written into the SAP internal format (date and numeric vlaue) into the tables
Coming with EH&S 2.7 you can use a new function in class/characteristic maintenance to change (display conversion in different allowed UOM) "UOMs" (etc.) and to get an idea which UOMs are allowed. I believe (not sure) that this new function should be available regarding characteristics of date format too. This function is "hidden" in some sense in the Menue (if I remember correct; i am not using it often).
May be you could think of a "tricky" way to use the user parametres (by preparing some programming) but I would not investigate the money (and time) but simple change the user profile enter the data and then change back the profile.
Different "easy" solution would be to use a second user id (one with default format DD.MM.YYYY and second with YYYY-MM-DD)
May be this helps
With best regards
