Defaulting values in timesheet CATS

Hello,
Have a requirement to default WBS/rec costcntrs elements into timesheet application (cat2 transaction).
what I am planning now is, when logging into the timesheet I update catsdb table with the WBS element values for the sppecific date, so when the user is in the cat2 screen he can see the defaults. But this is a very inefficient method since a db update is involved.
Is there an HR specific way for this without doing a direct db update?

BC4J,Setting a default Value In a View With Data From An Other View

hi
I'm developping A BC4J. I want to set the default value of a field By counting the number of rows in an other view.
So I want to instanciate the view and execute the sql statement and get the result.
Is that the right manner to do it or not.
can someone help me to do that
cheers

There's lots of ways to skin this cat depending upon whether you mean "database view" or "view object" when you say "view", and individual requirements.
Given database views v1 and v2 with a common key between them
select v1.x, count(*) from v1,v2 where v1.key = v2.key group by v1.x;
either in the database view or in expert mode for the view object ( I think it'll take group by, but never done it ). ( assumption is that v1.x is a primary key for v1 )...
Try this from sql*Plus first to get a feel for how this works.
The catch with the above is that it is "static"... if you can ADD rows to v2 in your application... they aren't visible in the count until saved and requeried.
Another way ( I think... hopefully Oracle folk will kibitz... )
Create your own attribute on the view object like "TheOtherCount".
In the view object's RowImpl, find the "getTheOtherCount". Find the count of rows in the second view object or entity object or rowSetInfo through the method of your choice. ( If you've already set up a master detail relationship that is active you can just get the rowcount! ). Refer to earlier postings on how to get the rowcount, or to create a dynamic view query to get the count.
The nice thing is that this should reflect your counts even if the second view has added or removed rows... but will probably move like a snail.
Note that if you have a need where you want the row count updated in a frame for v1 whenever v2 is added to or removed from... well... then you need to set up some sort of event listener to do a redisplay of v1's frame, I'd think? Since the attribute you've created in the view object is not based on an entity object attribute, it has no way to know when it has been "updated" via an additional or removed row from the target.
I'm posting the above because no one has responded yet... it may form a place to start from. And maybe someone in the know will go "No, No, No... KKirk... it doesn't work that way at all!" and fill us in on how this can be accomplished!
Good Luck

Default values in CAT2

Hello All!
I'm configuring a data entry profile CATS for HR and CO. I'm using Infotype 315 for default values in CAT2 (activity type and cost centre), but when I enter the target hours in CAT2 the only field that get defaulted is A/A type. I have made the proper customization in tranzaction CAC1 (configuration of data entry profile) and I have entered data in 315.
Can you please help me?

Hi,
I hope you got his id. Anyway, his id is [email protected] Your query will end up with him. He is genious in CATS.
Meanwhile, you can find his connection from my ittoolbox profile.

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

Default Value is not getting displayed in SUN ONE Ldap

Hello,
I have created an attribute in slapd.user_at.conf and it is associated in slapd.user_oc.conf.
The attribute default value is given through SUN ONE Console. But, In our application the default value is not getting displayed.
We need the default value to run our applicatin. Can anyone help me for this issue
Regards,
K. Senthil Kumar

Hi anandkumar,
I belive this issue can be resolved by changing the Query proprties for the perticular field.
Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
__Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.
FURTHER CHECK UP: check the master data avaiulability for the perticular info object, if masterdata is not available, do the text data for txt data availability in report level.
Hope this helps you!!

How to load a default value in to a column when using sql loader

Assigning a default value to a field

Hello Everyone,
       Could you please tell me how to assign a default value to a field in a transparent table, so that while creating an entry even if we don't enter the value, a default value will be assigned.
Thanks,
Anbu.

Like this
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
        field1 TYPE c VALUE 'X'
        field2 TYPE c,
      END OF itab.
append itab.
append itab.
You will have by default X set in both rows for field1.
Regards
Marcin
PS: Ooops I just noticed you meant transparent table but I wrote about internal one. As long as you maintain that table using maintenance view you can use event 05 - When Creating a New Entry and set fixed value for a field there. So whenever you create new entry it will receive that value.

SQLLDR - how to set a default value for an empty string

I'm using SQLLDR to load data from a flat file on Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 EE, Linux RHEL 4 update 6. Seems like my question is simple, but darned if I can't find the solution.
My source file (comma delimited extracted form a different RDBMS) has some (not all) rows where the output for a string is "", and not NULL. How do I check for empty string and add a default value in the control file? The target column is non-nullable
Here's my current control file - however, the column attributeName where sometimes the source record is "" does not get evaluated as NULL.
load data
infile 'mydata.del'
badfile 'mydata.bad'
discardfile 'mydata.dsc'
into table mydata
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
   TRAILING NULLCOLS
(l_metadata,
company,
className,
attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,null, 'none')",
attributeDefault)
{code}
When I tried decode with "", I received the following error:
{code}SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 11.
Expecting "," or ")", found ", 'none')".
attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,"", 'none')", {code}
This does not work either:
{code}
load data
infile 'mydata.del'
badfile 'mydata.bad'
discardfile 'mydata.dsc'
into table mydata
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
   TRAILING NULLCOLS
(l_metadata,

Multiple Default Values in a Multi-Select LOV Parameter?

Hi,
I have a report in BI Publisher standalone version 10.1.3.4. The report has a list of values called org_lov. This lov is attached to a multi-selection p_org_code parameter from which it is desirable to also have multiple default values.
For example, if org_lov has the following values:
100
101
102
103
104
105
106
I would like to have 3 default values and have 100, 101,105 as the defaults if the user doesn't specifically select anything from the LOV. So far my testing has only allowed a single default value.
Here are my settings:
Data type = string
Multiple Selection = checked
Can select All = checked (all values passed)
On the Default Value field, I have tried the following:
1. 100, 101,105
2. [100, 101,105]

I don't need these default values highlighted in the LOV, I just need it passed correctly to the query (a data template).
Thank you in advance for any input.

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I tried what you suggested but the problem is that by having the "Multiple Selection" property of the parameter unchecked, the result is that it allows the user to only have a single value passed. The user wants the option to select multiple values AND also have the multiple default values.
Thanks anyway.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

H

Why the default value is not the Oracle recommended?

Why the default value is not the Oracle recommended?
In Oracle 10g, the default alocated unit of Oracle ASM is 1MB. But the Oracle ducumentation states that "To ensure a higher probability of one
logical I/O resulting in no more than one physical I/O, the minimum stripe depth should be at least twice the Oracle block size". ---See Performance Tuniing Guide (10g10.2 Page8-3.
It's inconsistent. What is right way?

The default database blocksize of 10g is 8k.
>
8 * 128 = 1024
128 >= 2
At least twice the size does not mean exactly the doubled size.
There is no contradiction between the documentation and your observation in this case.

Default Value in a DFF is not getting populated in Self Service Page

I had an issue in Self Service Page.
In the SS page there is hidden mandatory field in DFF segment,which should get populated with a default select statement.
But this field is not getting populated with the default values.
But this is working fine in Forms , i.e the default value is populated in forms.
Why the default value is not populated in Self Service Pages?
For Eg: If there is a DFF "SAMPLE_DFF" which has some context with segment
Context Code : GB_CODE
Segment : "Enter the Group"
and this segment is made required and defaulted with a select stmt (select stmt returns 'XXXXX')
In forms if am not entering any value, then its defaulted to 'XXXXX'.
But in Self Service this is not happening.
Can anybody help me out...

Actually, I have narrowed down the problem. It is not quite the same.
DFF is Receivables, Address Information (Release 12). We have 2 attributes defined and we want the default value of the 2nd to be dependent on what the user selects in the 1st.
So the default value of the 2nd is defined as a SQL Statement, select :$FLEX$.INDUSTRY_CODE from dual (where INDUSTRY_CODE is the value set name from the 1st).
We know the syntax is correct because if we actually hardcode a default value in the 1st attribute (select 'BLAH' from dual), then we do see that the default value for the 2nd attribute fills in with BLAH as well. However, we do not want that. We want the user to choose a value for the 1st attribute from the LOV, and then have the 2nd attribute default to that same value. This is the part that does not seem to work in OAF, but definitely used to work in Forms.
Any thoughts?
Thanks much!

SUN ONE Ldap - Default value is not getting displayed

Hello,
I have created an attribute in slapd.user_at.conf and it is associated in slapd.user_oc.conf.
The default value for the attribute has been given in the SUN ONE Ldap. But it is not getting displayed in our application.
Can any one help me in this for this issue.
Regards,
K. Senthil Kumar

I assume that you are referring to a brand new field on the second step that was not on the form of the first step. If this is the case, then you should put the field in a hidden block of the first steps form. Default values and Auto-population from shells/single record BPs only occur of the create step, even if they are not used on that step. As long as you put them on the create step (even in a hidden block) they should initialize.

Default Values

It's important to remember that DEFAULT values are only used when a column isn't specified in an INSERT or MERGE, or when the DEFAULT keyword is used. If you don't explicitly declare a DEFAULT value, Oracle implicitly defines the default value to be NULL, and the DEFAULT keyword will even work with such.
Does say this, does the possibility Exist to for example insert a default value 0 in a column (datatype number) (Default value 0) without using trigger and column is specified (e.g. I don't know from front-end if is specified)?
Thanks in advance to all

I don't know a lot about Forms, but if it will generate in insert statement like this:
SQL> CREATE TABLE t(a NUMBER, b NUMBER DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t VALUES (1,NULL);
INSERT INTO t VALUES (1,NULL)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("OPS$ORACLE"."T"."B")then yes, unless you can control the insert statement, you will need to use a trigger. The explicit NULL in the VALUES list will override the default.

Default value? Trigger?

Hi all,
I got one Oracle 10g problem here, not sure you can help me or not.
If a table has a column which has "default value" setup.
Example
CREATE TABLE KENTEMP
refno number(10),
user_create varchar2(30) Default USER not null
And it also has a trigger with following contents:
If :new.user_create is Null then
:new.user_create := 'TEST';
end if;
If I going insert a record with null value on user_create column.
In some Oracle database, the create_user will become USER, some will become "TEST".
Do you understand why?
Thanks

In some Oracle database, the create_user will become USER, some will become "TEST". Are you running the same INSERT statement on all these databases? Because the default value gets applied before the trigger fires, and I would expect that to be consistent across all databases.
SQL> create table defval (col1 number, col2 varchar2(30) default user)
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into defval (col1) values (1)
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> select * from defval
2 /
      COL1 COL2
         1 APC
SQL> create trigger defval_trg before insert on defval for each row
2 begin
3    if :new.col2 is null then
4       :new.col2 := 'TEST';
5    end if;
6 end;
7 /
Trigger created.
SQL> insert into defval (col1) values (2)
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> select * from defval
2 /
      COL1 COL2
         1 APC
         2 APC
SQL> insert into defval (col1,col2) values (3, null)
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> select * from defval
2 /
      COL1 COL2
         1 APC
         2 APC
         3 TEST
SQL> Cheers, APC
