DIR not visible from attached sap object and validation check problem

Hi Experts,
I have created new sap object link for table BUT000 and transaction code is BP.
Now
1) when I am creating DIR through CV01N, I am able to view Object link column with one filed called PARTNER.
If I enter wrong or Invalid partner here, system is not performing any validation, it accepts it and if I save DIR it gets saved with invalid business partner.
2) secondly lets say i have entered valid business partner and saved the DIR, then in transaction code BP, I am not able to view any DIR for that business partner.
Need your valuable Input on this.

Hi Ravindra,
While adding the screen I had copy pasted logic from screen 1204 as per guidelines to add the screen.
One more thing added in guide line was, 'Please do not make any changes in it'.
I think this is the system check which is already there when we copy paste logic from 1204 but due to some reason it has got problem.
For the 2nd screen also I have given the same logic which is in 1204 screen of CV130.
But here the problem is when I double click on any Module or any perform it asks me to create.
That means this module and performs does not exist in function group CV140, they all exist in function group CV130.
I try creating the same modules in CV140 also but there are many variables, internal tables which does not exist in CV140.
Any help on this will be appreciated.

    Hi.
    1) Is that true? Do I need to purchase the P8 adapter?
    Yes you have to buy this adapter. the sap systems communicates via archive link with acsap.
    2) Will upgrading to 4.5 allow us to communicate to P8 without the adapter?
    NO, sorry.
    3) Or finally, is no change required?
    see qustion one...

    It's hard to say without seeing the code for TreeTable. But they probably have something like an addNode mothod for the TreeTableNode which will take care of all the updates for you. If you want to do it youself, you will probably have to get the data Model (tree.getModel()???)behind the TreeTable and use one of the fire... methods on it like fireRowChanged(???) or fireTableChanged(???). I would suspect Sun would do it this way.

    Any mail I sent from my iPhone (latest OS) is not visible from my Macbook Pro (latest OS) in the sent box.

    Any help to fix this would be appreciated as I need to access all my emails for work from my computer.

  • I upgraded to ios6 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved.  Can I some how restore from the apps?

    I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved.  Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?

    As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • With regard to lock object and authority check

    hi all
    i would like to know about lock object and authority check specifically in reports. there is a coding in sap library with regard to authority check, but there is no coding to restrict user (i mean there is no user names that the object is restricting for a particular user or any user has got permission to change or display object). 
    further, the code mentions that you need an authorization in your user master record for the object, could any of u explain where is user master record.

  • SAP Cloud Application Studio Create Custom Web Service From Custom Business Object and Consume in External System

    Hi Experts,
    I have requirement to create custom business object and create Web Service for that and use in external system (SAP ECC / SAP CRM / Third Party).
    1) Is it possible to create custom object web service and used in external system ?
    2) When we create the Web service from custom business object what the necessary steps(action : Create , Read , Update) require?
    3) Sample Scenario :
    My Custom Business Object
    businessobject Custom_Integration {
      element EP_VAL1 : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Text;
      element EP_VAL2 : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Text;
      element IP_RES : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Text;
    I have created the Web Service using this custom business object.
    3) How i can use this web service in external system? what are the prerequisite steps in external system to consume this service in it?
    Please anyone have idea about this how to do this and how to achieve this using SDK and custom business object.
    Many Thanks

    Hello Mithun,
    Does this section in the documentation help you:
    SAP Cloud Applications Studio Help -> Developers Desktop -> Web Services
    The entry "Task -> Create a Web Service" describes how to create a Web Service on your own BO
    The entry "Task -> Test a Web Service" helps you how you can use it in a foreign tool / application.

    Hi Bala,
    If you go to transaction SE80 -> Repository Information System -> Other objects -> Transactions and you search for SOAMANAGER, you get into the screen where you can modify attributes for this transaction. Please check if there are strange values entered in there... Or maybe SAPGUI for HTML is not selected.

  • Button not visible in standard sap-toolbar

    Hi All,
    I have added a custom key to standad SAP tollbar using Aceess key in tr-M52N.
    But that custom buttom is still not visible in tool bar. Can anybody guide me?

    Hi,
    It may be that the function is being disabled by authorizations.  To prove this, you could do the following...
    Before you run the transaction you modified, go into debug with /h.
    Run your transaction code - you should start up in debug.
    Use menu option Breakpoints / Breakpoint At / Statement.  Input the command SET PF-STATUS.
    Hit F8 to continue until the SET PF-STATUS command is found.
    At this point, if the SET PF-STATUS statement ends with EXCLUDING tablename (where tablename is an internal table), then double-click on the internal table and display the entries in it.  If your function code is included in this table then that's the reason why you don't see the button.  You'd then need to work back to determine why your function code is included in the internal table.  This assumes the function code does indeed already exist in the GUI status used in the screen.
    Regards,  Andy

  • Profile description is not visible from Application which the LDT file has.

    Experts,
    I am running into strange issue.
    Dev created a LDT file for a profile and requested to upload it through a one-off patch.
    The profile got updated into the DB for all the 3 languages - US, KO and AR.
    However the description is not visible for US when tried to verify from the Forms.
    Further analysis gave a tip that the description is NULL only for US and exists for other 2 Langs (KO and AR).

    What could be the reason behind this change?
    Why the profile description only for US Lang is not getting updated whereas for other languages it got updated by FND User - "ORACLE12.2.0"?
    It clearly shows on 09-Nov-12 there were some changes happened and that to by User_ID 122 which updated for KO and AR.
    For some reason the same was not applied for US Lang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

    HI Hussein,
    I am waiting for your update only.
    We have requested Dev to chek the same got to know that,Yes, when tried with CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE, it is working fine.
    But they are insisting on how the other Langs got updated and why it would not update for US alone.
    Just check the Profile from FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS about the profile details and found below.
    SQL> select APPLICATION_ID, PROFILE_OPTION_ID, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY
    2 from fnd_profile_options where PROFILE_OPTION_NAME='INL_ITEM_CATEGORY_SET';
    APPLICATION_ID PROFILE_OPTION_ID LAST_UPDATE_DATE LAST_UPDATED_BY
    CREATION_DATE CREATED_BY
    9004 1011555 12-MAR-12 2330
    11-JUL-11 122
    SQL>
    For some reason the TL got lastupdate_date and 09-NOV-12 and the same is not reflecting in FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS.
    Please advise.

  • HFM application not visible from work-space

    Hello,
    We have a requirement where Essbase 11.1.1.3 is being installed on a separate machine but it will use our existing Shared service.
    We managed to install and configure Essbase successfully but while logging into the EAS console we got error saying that incorrect password, the issue seemed to be of Shared service.
    Then we restarted all the services including Shared service, there after we are not able to see HFM application on workspace.
    One thing that we noted is that the guy who installed and configured Essbase selected "Perform 1st-time configuration of Shared Services database " even though we want to use existing Shared service schema.
    So do you think that selecting "Perform 1st-time configuration of Shared Services database" option might have caused HFM application not to be visible in the workspace.
    And if your answer is YES then apart from restoring SS schema from backup, is there any other way of fixing this ?
    Regards,
    Rajnish Singh

    In workspace, you can re-register the application with shared services.
    Go to administer -> Classic application administration, consolidation administration, register application.

  • Archiving Information from "old" SAP systems and switch off the server

    Good day
    I hope someone can offer some advice. Our company has a few sites across the globe. Three of the sites in South Africa ( where I'm working at the moment ) had their own SAP systems. Three odd years ago, we implementeted a new SAP system, combining the separate SAP systems into the new one, running of the same box etc etc. The "old" SAP systems were still availbale after the new one went live, in the event that people want to look back at history.
    We are you busy with a project where we are going to merge our current SAP implementation into our global SAP system... obviously only the current master data are going to be transfered to the new system. It's an idea time for us to clean up our data.
    My question: Once we go live on our global SAP system, we want to "export" or archive from the 3 "old" SAP systems the Master Data from the HR module ( like employees who's left the company - it's law to keep the records for 5 years at least once a employee has left) , HSEC and FI modules into a single datastore... this way we don't have to keep the three servers running in the event that history is required. The servers wil be kept off-line and only switched back on if a detailed audit is required.
    The global SAP system does not have an archive solution implemented to we can't access archived data from the new system...
    So, we need to export master data from our 3 old SAP boxes into a Unicode type file system, and our local South African sites needs to be able to access the information using a text type editor or a web based interface we can run off our SAP Portal...
    Thank you

    Hello Cornelius,
    To introduce myself, I am an active SDN/BPX member as well as an ASUG Archiving and Information Lifecycle Management Volunteer.
    Decommissioning Legacy Systems (SAP and non-SAP systems) is quite the topic these days with divestitures becoming such a common occurrence. 
    Some things to think about in this situation are:
    Identifying the data to be decommissioned:
    what information would be needed for an audit
    what information would be needed for a lawsuit situation
    Identifying the access requirements to this data.
    Identifying the retention policies for this data (this will be
    driven by regulatory requirements, etc.).
    If this has not already been done - define retention periods for this data - it will most likely have different retention periods based on the type of data.
    You mention that you do not have an archive solution in place yet. 
    I would recommend that you may want to research that option because typical requirements for retaining legacy data is that it is stored in such a manner so that it is protected from any type of modification.
    There are a lot of 3rd party archiving/storage solutions that provide this type of secure storage.
    You are correct in that you will want to export or archive the legacy data as opposed to loading the data into your current system.  It would probably involve a large increase in the size of your SAP database and you would probably run into number range overlaps.
    But, if this data is exported to a filesystem, you will be losing the business logic associated with the data, and the information is no longer in its original format (this could have legal ramifications). 
    I would recommend using SAP Archiving functionality for this effort.  If you are looking for outside resources, there are many vendors out there that have a lot of experience with these types of projects.
    Two that come to mind are Dolphin IT and OpenText.
    Or, depending on the timeline of your project, SAP is coming out with a tool that can be used for decommissioning SAP Systems.  It is part of
    their SAP ILM solution.  It will be called Retention Warehouse.  Here is a paragraph from their latest white paper describing this new tool:
    With the retention warehouse, SAP now offers a
    standardized method for system decommissioning in
    answer to these pressing issues. It allows you to reuse the archived data outside the original system in a central
    retention warehouse.
    For more detail on this topic, the white paper can be found on the SAP ILM Website:
    service.sap.com/ilm
    This tool is part of a larger initiative from SAP to help customers with their ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) strategy.  This tool is near and dear to me as I was fortunate enough to be part of an
    ASUG Influence Council that helped with some of the requirements for this solution.
    I hope this information is useful. 
    Good luck and Best Regards,
    Karin Tillotson
