DI Server and User Defined Fields

Hello experts,
When I add user defined fields to an object, am I able to update those user defined fields using the UpdateObject command on the DI Server? I have looked for answers on this subject, but I only got answers from 2006 saying that it wasn't possible. Has this been resolved yet?
I couldn't find any documents with best practices on this subject. Are any documents available?
Thanks for your time!
Vincent

Vincent,
Per the SDK Help Center Documentation for the 2007A SDK and DI Server, the documentation states...
"After adding new user fields to the database (either through the application or the DI API), it is required to stop and start the DI service, so that  the object schema will be updated and the DI Server would identify those changes."
Have you done this?

  • Limited Logistics users and User Defined Fields - UDF

    The SAP "Overview of SAP Business One License User Types" shows, in the last section under General, that only Professional users have any access at all to User-defined fields and tables.
    This seems counterintuitive as these fields are usually set up for others to see and to use.
    What is the real scoop on this?
    Thank you,
    Sal

    Hi Sal,
    It only means Professional User License has unlimited usages of UDF & UDT including managing and defining them.
    To read the values and use them are available to all license types.
    Thanks,

  • Match codes and user defined fields

    Hi all,
    I would like to display match codes associated with user defined fields in tcode CJ20N. How do I do that:?

    Hi Ravi,
    I think I'm using the wrong terminology here...my apologies. Let me clarify. I will build a ztable that contains the field key from the screen and the values I want displayed in my drop down list. My search help will be linked to this table with an import parameter of field key. When the user chooses to view selectable values the search help will use the field key to filter the values in the ztable and display only those selectable values that match the field key. Does that sound correct?

  • How to use User Options and User-Defined Fields in DC Group function?

    Dears,
    As title, when should I use above fields?  I did not see the related information in SAPME help library.
    Thanks!

    The user options fields are just information fields you can store at the Data Collection Maintenance activity. You can think of these as extra information fields for storage purposes only.  I can't give you a use case except to say 'information fields' only.
    With regards to the User-Defined fields in DC Group - you can think of these as extra data fields to be collected.  They will appear immediately underneath the data parameter they are defined in in the DC Plug-in for the POD.  They do not have limits but are just extra pieces of data you may want to collect about the specific parameter.

  • User Defined field and User defined values.

    Curently testing this in the demo database before rolling it out to a customer.
    I added a user defined field to my item master data base called Lengthcm of type Amount.
    I have created a query:
    SELECT u_lengthcm = CASE
                      WHEN $[oitm.blen1unit] = 5 THEN $[oitm.blength1] * 2.54
                      WHEN $[oitm.blen1unit] = 6 THEN $[oitm.blength1] * 2.54 * 12
                      ELSE 0 END
    Length unit 5 is inches and length unit 6 is feet.
    In Item Maintenance then I create a user defined value for the lengthcm field linked to the query and set to auto-update when the blength1 field changes.
    This works perfectly for 1 inch through 9 inches (1" through 9") and fills in the centimeter value. When I put in a value in feet (1', 2'), it does nothing and if I put in any value of 10" or greater gives an error message:
    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server] Arithmetic overflow error
    converting nvarchar to data type numeric. 'Received Alerts' (OAIB).
    Checking database structure back end, blen1unit is of type small int, blength1 is numeric of size 19, 6 and so is my lengthcm field.

    Hi Danielle ,
    Try this...
    SELECT u_lengthcm = CASE
                      WHEN $[oitm.blen1unit] = 5 THEN (cast(($[oitm.blen1unit]) as decimal(19,6)))  * 2.54
                      WHEN $[oitm.blen1unit] = 6 THEN (cast(($[oitm.blen1unit]) as decimal(19,6)))  * 2.54 * 12
                      ELSE 0 END

  • User defined field in SD and its link to Value field in COPA (??)

    Dear All,
    We have created one "Z" field i.e. user defined field and its in VBRP Table. This is a quantity field. to update the values in this field we have used an exit in sales and distribution module. Now, by defining this exit values are correctly populated in VPRP table on line item basis.
    Requirement here is we need to get this field in COPA, for same i have carried out the quantity field assignment to value field (KE4M).
    Even after this configuration profitability segment is not updated.

    Edited by: sayu on Mar 15, 2010 10:13 AM

    In the past I did something similar and had to use function module EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001 in enhancement COPA0002 to populate the field.  To use this exit you'll first need to add a user exit id to your valuation strategy (transaction KE4U).  The help on the function module is pretty good, but if you run into a problem let me know.

    When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed.  You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

  • Is it possible to have user defined field in pick and pack manager

    HI,
    I would like to know whether it is possible to have user defined field in pick and pack manager row level.
    Manage user defined field there is only provision for <b>pick list</b> and not for <b>Pick and pack</b>.
    Regards
    Krishna

    The Pick and Pack Manger doesn't relate to any specific table (nothing saved to the database), so it does not make any sense having a userdefiend field on it. I would guess that you could add a column and bind it to a userdatasource (not a SAP database field), but if this make any sense depends on what you are trying to achive...

  • User Defined Fields & Tables Problem

    After the upgrade to B1 2007 and converting our database to 2005 compatibility as per the upgrade directions, we’re having some weird issues with our user defined fields and tables. 
    •     Our user defined fields that used to be alpha-numeric when set up in B1 are now in the database as nvarchar(MAX), even after updating the fields in the Manage User Defined Fields screen.  B1 is obviously not setting the right field information as per its interface.
    •     We’re can no longer add records to user defined tables through the B1 interface, though we can add them fine through SQL Server or an ODBC interface.  The error we are getting is
    [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '-3 @PASSWORDS' to data type int. (CINF)
    .  I don’t understand where this problem is coming from because there isn’t even a data field that is an integer, so I don’t know what it’s trying to convert.
