Documentation for message FRM-41402

Hi,
I was getting message FRM-41402: Invalid type of visual attribute passed to Set_<object>_Property. I am looking for clues what can be causing this message, but I cannot find any documentation about it. I looked in Forms Builder Help (6.0.8), metalink and otn. Anybody??
Thanks in advance, Hanneke

Go to the Forms area on OTN. Click Documentation. Click the HTML link next to "Forms Online Help", towards the bottom of the page. Click Reference. Click All Forms Error Messages (frm-xxxxx). Error messages are there.
It's the Oracle9i Help, but it should be the same as 6i.

Documentation for Workbench Error Messages

Where is the documentation for all workbench error messages. The workbench help says to look in "Oracle 9iAS TopLink: Troubleshooting Guide". Does this documentation exist? If so, where is it?
Thanks.

The 9iAS documentation is available on OTN at:

Error message: No documentation exists for message V1096.

Hi Friends,
While monitoring the production system, got some cancelled transactions.
Error message: No documentation exists for message V1096.
For this I found one sap note 845599, but it's upto 5.0 , but we are using 6.0. please suggest me how to search?
if you provide solution for above message or alternative sap note, its very help ful for me
thanks in advance,
regards,
durga

Hello Durga,
IPlease apply the following note 845599 and 854744. Even these notes are up to 5.0, please review the source code.
Please make then the following correction in include program
LKAIPF2O :
call function 'SD_ORDER_CHECK' "326856
 exporting
 i_cobl = p_cobl
 i_status_check = con_off
 I_NO_WARNUNG_V1096 = 'X' "<<<<< INSERT
These code correction should avoid the V1096 error / warning problem.
Another possible solution could be the following : please check if
you can remove the rejection code in the sales order item of the sales
order , which is reported in the job log.

No commit-message (FRM-40400) == Bug in Headstart

Hello,
On committing on or more business rules are violated the 'message-window' appear.
After correcting the errors and committing the changes i'm not getting the usual
'commit-message' (FRM-40400). This only happens after on or more business rules are violated.
This is caused by a bug in the procedure 'QMS$FORMS_ERRORS.PUSH'. Below the solution i have implemented (the complete procedure is displayed). I'm using version 6.5.4.0 of the library 'qmslib65.pll.
PROCEDURE Push
( p_msg IN VARCHAR2
, p_error IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'I'
, p_msg_type IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ''
, p_msgid IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0
, p_loc IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '') IS
-- Purpose Show message to the end-user, standard procedure for the Oracle Forms
-- Generator of Designer/2000 to pass the display and handling of a message
-- to a user created procedure.
-- Usage Called by the Oracle Forms Generator code
-- Parameters : msg Text message
-- error ERRor or WARNing
-- msg_type ORA, API or user TLA
-- msg_id Id of message
-- loc Location where error occured
-- Remarks
v_msg VARCHAR2(2000) := p_msg;
v_error VARCHAR2(2000) := p_error;
v_servermsg VARCHAR2(2000) := DBMS_ERROR_TEXT;
l_empty_errorrec hil_Message.message_rectype;
BEGIN
IF p_msgid != 0
THEN
g_errorrec.severity := p_error;
ELSIF ((SUBSTR (v_msg, 1, 11) = 'API Error: ')) OR
((INSTR (v_servermsg, 'ORA-20999') <> 0) AND (v_msg IS NULL)) OR
(INSTR (v_msg, 'ORA-20999') <> 0)
THEN
-- error returned from the API, just display no further action required ?
HandleServerAPIError (p_msg);
-- M. Kappel
/* 11-apr-2001
- Allow check of v_servermsg even if v_msg contains data.
- With new-style cdm ruleframe, v_msg contains 'ORA-20998'.
We never looked at v_servermsg because v_msg was not null.
- With old-style database trigger business logic, v_msg contains only text.
If we still never look at v_servermsg, we don't identify that the error is
a 20998 and therefore we raise an alert 'Transaction Failed' instead of
showing the 'Errors in this Transaction' window.
-- ELSIF ((INSTR (v_servermsg, 'ORA-20998') <> 0) AND (v_msg IS NULL)) OR
-- (INSTR (v_msg, 'ORA-20998') <> 0)
-- THEN
On committing on or more business rules are violated the 'message-window' appear.
After correcting the errors and committing the changes i'm not getting the usual
'commit-message' (FRM-40400). This only happens after on or more business rules are violated.
When one or more business rules are violated application error ORA-20998 is raised. To
detect this DBMS_ERROR_TEXT is used ==> DBMS_ERROR_TEXT contains ALWAYS the text of the
LAST (dbms-)error (the text contains 'ORA-20998').
Even when no business rules are violated it's possible that DBMS_ERROR_TEXT contains 'ORA-20998'.
In that case no FRM-, MNU-, PLS-, SRW-, ORA- or REP-messages are displayed, because the error is
treated as a voilation of one or more business rules. To avoid this 'v_error = E' is added to the IF-clause:
when one or more business rule are violated this procedure is called to display an error (p_error ==> E);
for displaying the FRM-, MNU-, PLS-, SRW-, ORA- and REP-messages this procedure is called to display an
information (p_error ==> I).
When Designer generates code to validate p.e. check-constraints it will call this procedure too. See the example
below:
IF (:FUNCTIES.MIN_LEEFTIJD < :FUNCTIES.MAX_LEEFTIJD) THEN
NULL;
ELSE
qms$forms_errors.push('CBB-00219', 'E', 'OFG', 0);
qms$forms_errors.raise_failure;
END IF;
In this case the procedure is called to display an error. To avoid that the error is incorecctly treated as a
violation of one or more business rules '(p_msg_type != 'OFG' or p_msg_type is null)' is added to the IF-clause.
ELSIF v_error = 'E'
AND (p_msg_type != 'OFG' or p_msg_type is null)
AND ( INSTR (v_servermsg, 'ORA-20998') <> 0
OR INSTR (v_msg, 'ORA-20998') <> 0
THEN
HandleServerApplError (p_msg);
-- error returned from the API, just display no further action required ?
ELSIF ((INSTR (v_servermsg, 'ORA-20000') <> 0) AND (v_msg IS NULL)) OR
(INSTR (v_msg, 'ORA-20000') <> 0)
THEN
-- error was raised by old Headstart code with raise_application_error
-- strip ora-20000 : , check if code (get message) or message
HandleOldHeadstart (v_servermsg);
ELSIF (SUBSTR (v_msg, 1, 3) IN ('FRM', 'MNU', 'PLS', 'SRW', 'ORA', 'REP'))
THEN
HandleOracleError (v_msg, v_error);
ELSE
HandleApplError(v_msg, v_error);
END IF;
Display_Error (g_errorrec);
g_errorrec := l_empty_errorrec;
END Push;

you can create a KEY-COMMIT form level trigger with the following :
declare
msglvl varchar2(3) := :system.message_level ;
begin
:system.message_level := 5 ;
commit_form ;
:system.message_level := msglvl ;
end ;
or put instruction : clear_message; before the commit_form ;

How do I access compacted mail on a Mac version 10.5.8 stuck with Thunderbird version 16.0.2 ? I am unable to access needed documentation for Taxes, etc

How do I access compacted mail on a Mac version 10.5.8 stuck with Thunderbird version 16.0.2 ? I am unable to access needed documentation for Taxes, etc

Where in the world did you read Deleting All My Mail? I have reread my answer several times and cannot seem to find that in there.
When you mark a message for deletion it does just that. It marks it for deletion and hides the message. It is not truly deleted until you compact.
My point is that unless you deleted your important mail they should still be there somewhere.
Your question was about compacting and thinking it put your messages in a nice little box for safe keeping and now you want to open it.
I have to agree that Thunderbird did a horrible job of naming this process because most are like you and do not understand what it actually does. I included the link to the explanation of what compacting means in the Thunderbird world.
Your messages may still be available to your but finding them has nothing to do with compacting.
Thunderbird does not archive anything unless you use that process by selecting the message and pressing a. You have the option to setup where you want that archive to go and what folders to make.
The All Mail folder is a goofy gmail arrangement. If you have problems with that then you need to address that with Google.
If you go into your gmail account on the gmail site do you see the messages you are hunting in the All Mail folder there?

CS5 RAW Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
Can anyone please help?

yellowmledbetter wrote:
Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
But, here goes:
Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
I really should be in bed.

Need Documentation for report RCNCT001

I have to execute report program "RCNCT001' to regenerate the structure in some Project system report to add the custom fields.
SAP suggest to refer the documentation for this report to step-by-step guide. But i could not find the documentation anywhere. Also, when i run this report to regenerate structure, it is asking for the access key for object : R3TR PROG RCNSTRUCR.
Has anyone used this report before? Can any one please provide me the documentation for this report?
Please help....
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem regarding executing the report RCNCT001 but I have found a way out which has worked out for me. Here are the steps carried out by me.
Select the Structure that you want to Enahnce by Clicking on PS Info System Structures. I had an requirement to enhance WBS Element so I selected WBS Element Radio Button.
Click on Execute.
The Program will ask for Access Key.Hit Display on the Access Key Entry Screen.
The progarm gives a warning.
Hit Enter.
The Program will AGAIN ask for Access Key.Hit Display on the Access Key Entry Screen.
The program then gives 3 warning message.Hit Enter on all Warning Messages.
Now you get a list of all the Fileds from the structure you want to enhance to be included in PS Information System.In my case it is PRSP. Here you can see all the standard Fields along with your Custom Fields.
Click on save.It will prompt for a request.
Assign a request and you are done.
Now if you run CN43N you will be able to choose your fileds in the Change Layout Button on the report output Screen.

Documentation for SAP function modules??

Hello,
is there any documentation for the SAP function modules available?
I need documentation for SJ01 (SAP Objects). If I try to view the documentation in SE80, I get the error message: "Document OJ_XXX(whatever I selected) is not available in language DE"
Where can I get this documentation?
Is there an overview+documentation available somewhere of all SAP functions which may be used for own programs? Or how do I know what's already available and how to use it?
Thanks

Documentation for Notifications system in iOS 5?

Is there any detailed documentation for the new Notifications system in iOS 5 that explains how it works, and in particular how the various pieces (alerts, banners, the Notification Center, the lock screen) interact with each other? I downloaded the latest User Guide for iOS 5.0 and it doesn't provide much detail at all.

This may help:
There are a number of issues to fix this:
1. You cannot view the "Notification Centre" from the lock screen.
2. You can have all your NEW notifications appear in your lock screen by changing the settings in Settings>Notifications>(and then select that app).
3. You also have to ensure you are allowing notifications within the App itself, inside the App's settings.
Here are a few hints:
If you have the "Alert Style" set to "None" - they won't show up, even if you turn them "On".
If you set to "Banners" they will show up as Banners while your phone is unlocked, and also as a Banner on the Lock screen (if the lock screen setting is set to "on"). From the lock screen you can "swipe" the notification, and it will take you right to that app.
If you set as "Alerts" - it will require you to select an action before proceeding - in which case you must "unlock the phone", and the rest of any notifications on your lock screen will not longer be considered new - and won't show up again when you lock your phone.
My recommendation: Set them all as Banners, and then you have more options. Once you "Unlock" your phone, all of them will be removed from your lock screen, but you can then see them in the Notification Centre.
Some exmples:
Facebook: you need to select Settings>Notification>Facebook. If you want your notifications from Facebook to show up on your phone, select "Notification centre: ON". Select the Alert Style. If you want to see them in your lock screen, turn "View in Lock Screen:ON." THEN, go to Settings>Facebook>Push Notifications, and select the ones you would like. They will show up on your phone.
EMAIL: Settings>Notifications>Mail.If you want your notifications from your email accounts to show up on your phone, select "Notification centre: ON". Select the Alert Style. If you want to see them in your lock screen, turn "View in Lock Screen:ON." THEN go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>and select the Mail Account you would like notifications for.. Depending on the account type you may need to change your "push or fetch" settings.
TEXT: Settings>Notifications>Messages If you want your notifications from texts to show up on your phone, select "Notification centre: ON". Select the Alert Style. If you want to see them in your lock screen, turn "View in Lock Screen:ON." If you want to see the whole message, select "Show Preview: ON", "OFF will just display the name of the person who sent the text".

Error message:FRM-12001: Cannot Create the record group(check your query)

Requirement: Need to get employee name and number in the LOV in search criteria.
So I created LOV "full_name" and Record group Query under Employee Name property palette with
select papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name
,papf.employee_number

where sysdate between papf.effective_start_date and papf.effective_end_date AND papf.person_type_id=ppt.person_type_id AND ppt.system_person_type IN ('EMP', 'OTHER', 'CWK','EMP_APL')
AND PPT.default_flag='Y' and papf.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID=1
order by papf.full_name
I was unable to save and getting error message "FRM-12001: Cannot Create the record group(check your query)".
I cant use PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F.FULL_NAME since full name here is last_name||title||middle_names||firstname.
But my requiremnet is papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name .
Can any one of you help me.

First, Magoo wrote:
<pre>create or replace function emp_full_name ( p_title in varchar2,
p_last_name in varchar2,
p_first_name in varchar2,
p_mid_names in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
begin
for l_rec in ( select decode ( p_title, null, null, p_title || ' ' ) ||
p_last_name || ', ' || p_first_name ||
decode ( p_mid_names, null, null, ' ' || p_mid_names ) full_name
from dual ) loop
return ( l_rec.full_name );
end loop;
end;</pre>
Magoo, you don't ever need to use Select from Dual. And the loop is completely unnecessary, since Dual always returns only one record. This would be much simpler:
<pre>create or replace function emp_full_name
( p_title in varchar2,
p_last_name in varchar2,
p_first_name in varchar2,
p_mid_names in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
begin
Return ( Ltrim( Rtrim ( p_title
||' ' ||p_last_name
||', '||p_first_name
||' ' ||p_middle_names )));
end;</pre>
And second:
user606106, you did not mention how you got your record group working. However, you DO have an issue with spaces. If you change this:
<pre>select papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name
,papf.employee_number </pre>
to this:
<pre>select Ltrim(Rtrim(papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '
||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names)) AS emp_full_name,
papf.employee_number</pre>
it should work. The Ltrim(Rtrim()) removes leading and trailing spaces from the resulting full name.

Hi
Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
Basic terminology used in the workflow:
The workflow definition is the set of rules that determine the path that the process takes. For example, how a purchase requisition is processed, from the initial request to the creation of the purchase order
A Workflow Instance, which is often simply referred to as the workflow, is a single workflow run. For example, the processing of a single purchase requisition for computers.
The Tasks are the steps in the process, which have to be performed either by people or automatically by the software. For example, to check for the availability of the spare computers in the company.
A Work item is the task instance that is performed as a single workflow step. For example, check that there are no spare computers available in the company.
Agents are the people who process the tasks (via the work items). For example, requisitioner and a member of the purchasing department.
Container is the place where all the data used in the workflow is collected.
Binding is the set of rules that define which data is passed to which part of the process.
Building a simple workflow application
The central tool for creating, displaying and processing a workflow is the workflow builder (Transaction SWDD). Within the workflow builder you can create all components of a workflow, including all the containers you need for getting the data from one step to another.
Generally, most of the workflows are started by an event (for example, when a material is created or when a new purchase requisition arrives). You define which data from this event needs to be passed to the workflow via binding.
However you can also start any workflow directly. Let us create a simple workflow and start the workflow directly, using the testing tools.
Call transaction SWDD. When the workflow builder is called for the first time, a newly created initial workflow definition appears or else last created workflow appears. In such cases you can opt to create a new workflow by pressing Create New Workflow(ctrl + shft + F5). The following screen appears.
The initial workflow screen has the following parts:
a. The start of the workflow definition, indicated by .
b. The end of the workflow definition, indicated by .
c. The area in which you insert the new workflow definition is indicated by .
Now select the undefined step and select Create step or double click the undefined step. Now among the different steps chose the User Decision by double clicking on it.
Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
Previous
Now enter the title for the user decision Please make a decision. Also enter the decision texts as Approve and Reject. On pressing enter, the outcome values default to the Decision texts but you can specify your own names, if desired. Now we need to select the agent. Agent is the person to whom the work item needs to be sent.. Since this is just a beginning, we would hardcode the user name. Select the User from the drop down list and enter the user name to whom the work item needs to be sent. In general, this type of agent assignment is not done. Agents are generally assigned using the expression, agent assignment rule or organization object (job, position etc.).
Now select Transfer and to graphic button. Following screen appears:
Now we need to include a mail step to be sent to the requestor. Now select the line Approve and do a right click. Different options on shown on the context menu. Select Create.
Now select the step Send Mail from the list.

...Previous
Now enter the subject and the body of the message for the mail to be sent.
Do not change the recipients. Our mail is intended for the persons who triggered this workflow. &_WF_INITIATOR& contains the value who executed the workflow. Since this is a test object, we are using &_WF_INITIATOR&. But we wouldnt be using this variable in real time scenarios. We would discuss about this in the coming documents.
Now select Transfer and to graphic button.
A popup appears requesting for the abbreviation and the name for this task. Enter the same and press enter.
Now enter the package as local object and press enter.
Follow the steps 5 through 9 for the step Reject. The following screen appears:
Press SAVE to save the workflow application. You need to enter an abbreviation and name for your workflow as shown below. You can change any of these at any later point. After saving, a number is assigned to your workflow starting with WS, as shown below.
Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
...Previous
To execute the workflow, activate it by choosing the activate button.
Test the workflow by choosing Test. The following screen appears.
Now choose Execute to start the workflow.
Now the recipient would receive a work item in his SAP® inbox (Transaction SBWP).
Now execute the work item by pressing Execute. The following screen appears:
Choose one among Approve or Reject as part of the user decision. He can select the third option to retain the work item in his inbox and make the decision later. Now suppose that the recipient has chosen one of the first options. Now a mail would be sent to the requestor with the status of his request.
Creating a Container element
This document details about creation of a container element in workflow and using it in the step "Mail".
Pre-requisites:
It is assumed that the reader of this Tutorial is aware of creating a workflow definition with the step Mail. If not, please go through the document on creating the same available, by clicking here.
Steps:
1. Create a workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
2. Lets create a container element for Carrier id. Click on the Workflow Container on the left side of the screen (as shown in the screenshot below):
3. Now double-click on Double-Click to Create
4. Enter the details pertaining to CARRID here.
5. Click on tab Properties and select Import.
6. Click on Confirm (Enter).
7. Now the element created could be seen on the left side, below the Workflow Container.
Creating a Container element
Previous
1. Create a Mail step by double-clicking on Undefined step in the workflow.
2. Enter the recipient details in the Recipients box.
3. In the subject line, enter Carrid value entered is: and click on Insert Expression.
4. Select the element Carrid from the list.
5. Similarly enter the content in the Body area.
6. Save and activate the application.
Testing the Workflow application:
7. Test the workflow by clicking F8.
8. Enter the value of the Carrid as shown above and press execute.
9. A mail would be sent to the recipient mentioned earlier with the carrid value entered.
Condition Step
Agenda:
This document details about the steps Condition.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
Procedure:
1. Create a new workflow definition.
2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
3. Now click on undefined step and create the step Condition.
4. Enter the step name of your choice.
5. We would have the following condition here:
If carrid = AA.
Do this.
Else.
Do this.
Click on Click here to create a new condition. Following screen appears.
Double click on Carrid. Next click on = and enter the value AA in the constant field and press ENTER.
Enter the outcome names of your choice as shown above.
Click on Transfer and go to graphic.
As shown above, there are two branches here. One navigates to true, if CARRID = AA else the control takes the branch False.
Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in the above 2 branches and by passing different CARRID values.
Condition Step
Agenda:
This document details about the steps Multiple Condition.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
Procedure:
1. Create a new workflow definition.
2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
3. Now click on undefined step and create the step Multiple Condition.
4. Enter the step name of your choice.
5. We would have the following condition here:
If carrid = AA.
Do this.
Elseif carrid = AH
DO this.
Elseif carrid = SQ
Do this.
Else.
Do this.
Select the CARRID using the F4 help for the comparison basis field.
Enter the values of the carrid under the Comparison values with the corresponding outcome name (of your choice)
Double click on Carrid. Next click on = and enter the value AA in the constant field and press ENTER.
Click on Transfer and go to graphic.
As observed above, there are different branches for each value of CARRID mentioned above.
Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in all the branches and by passing different CARRID values.
Using "Container Operation" step
Agenda: Usage of step Container Operation.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this tutorial has worked in the concepts that are dealt in earlier tutorials. (click here for more details)
Scenario: In this tutorial, we would deal about how to work with the step Container Operation with an example of calculating the available seats by subtracting occupied seats from the maximum seats at the workflow level.
Procedure:
1. Create a new workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
2. Create two container elements MaxSeats, Occ_Seats with the import property set. You can use the reference fields sflight-seatsmax, sflight-seatsocc for this.
3. Create another container element AvailableSeats without setting either import or export property as this is calculated within the workflow and used within the workflow. You might use any of the above reference fields as data types.
4. Define a new step Container Operation in the workflow definition by double-clicking on the Undefined step.
5. In this step, we would calculate the available seats from the max seats and seats occupied.
I would recommend entering all the container elements from the F4 help instead of typing them manually.
6. Return to the main screen.
7. Create a mail step after this to send the available seats information.
8. Test the above functionality by passing some values to the maximum and the seats occupied.
9. Result would be as follows:
Triggering Events Programmatically
Purpose: This document details the procedure in triggering the business object events programmatically.
Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document is aware of the business object concepts and good in ABAP.
Procedure:
In this document, we would take an example of the business object BUS1001006 (Material) and the event CREATED. In general, this event is triggered whenever a material is created using a standard procedure like MM01 or any others. Now we would trigger this event from our own programs.
Following are the screenshots of the business object BUS1001006 and the event CREATED. Go to transaction SWO1 for more information of the business object.
Double-clicking on the key field parameter gives you technical information of the field.
In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
Following is the sample code to trigger the events programmatically:
REPORT ZDEMO_TRIGGER_EVENT.
DATA: KEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY.
KEY = '1163'. Material Number (hard-coded)
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = 'BUS1001006'
objkey = KEY
event = 'CREATED'
CREATOR = ' '
TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
NO_LOGGING = ' '
IDENT =
IMPORTING
EVENT_ID =
TABLES
EVENT_CONTAINER =
EXCEPTIONS
OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ELSE.
WRITE 'Event Triggered'.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
Press Switch On.
Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:
Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
A major advantage of workflow is the ability to monitor the workflow steps according to a predefined schedule. Following are different deadlines that can be monitored against each workflow step:
Requested Start
Latest Start
Requested End
Latest End
In this example, we will define a deadline to the User Decision example created earlier (click here). Following is the screenshot of the application developed using the User Decision example:
We would extend this example to the deadline monitoring.
In the User Decision step, click on the latest end tab.
By default, No deadline monitoring is active (as seen in the above screenshot).
Choose the Work Item Creation from the list box.
After selecting Work Item Creation, chose an offset of 5 minutes. This means that the work item must be executed within 5 minutes of the creation, if not this would trigger.
Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
Enter recipient details to whom the message to be escalated, if the work item is not executed with in 5 minutes after work item creation.
Save and activate the workflow definition.
Testing the workflow application:
Execute your workflow.
Check for the work item in the SAP Inbox. This time do NOT execute the work item.
Wait for the deadline to be triggered. After that, a deadline message is delivered to the recipient mentioned in the Latest End tab. See the screenshot below.
Dont worry if the deadline message doesnt appear immediately after 5 minutes. This depends on various factors including how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled and also on the availability of the background processors.
Use SWWA to check how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled in program.
For example, assume that our work item has been created at 09:10 hrs and the deadline message is expected to trigger at 09:15 hrs. From the above screenshot, it is understood that the background program is scheduled to execute for every 3 minutes. Assume that the last run of the program is at 09:14hrs and the next run is expected at 09:17hrs. So even our deadline expires at 09:15, the deadline message would appear only at 09:17hrs after execution of the background program.
Some more points
In our above example, we have used the deadline on the Work Item creation time. i.e., 5 minutes after creation time, the deadline message would be sent. Now we would check the other option Expression. Here we can mention the date and time, when the deadline message should appear irrespective of the work item creation date/time.
As seen in the above screenshot, we can provide the target date and time by which the task should be finished. Container elements could be used in this case. Please refer to our example on creation of container elements (click here).
Personal Substitute in Workflow
Requirement: Need to have at least one substitute who can act upon work items in your absence.
Important: The appointed substitute would be able to see all your work items. A substitute cannot be assigned for only particular area of organization or any other item. So need to ensure that the substitute have the necessary authorizations to act upon the work items.
Procedure:
1. Go to SAP Business Work Place (TCode: SBWP)
2. Now from the menu bar, select Settings à Workflow settings à Maintain Substitute
3. Highlight/Select the name on the window, in this case SAPDEV02 and click on Create Substitute.
4. List of users available in the system are displayed.
5. Select the required substitute user name. Following screen appears.
Validity field describes about the period in which the setting would be active. Note that the dates on the screen would range from the current date to 31st Dec 9999.
Regarding the checkbox Substitution active, it is advised to leave this checkbox unchecked for system performance reasons. A check in this box indicates that the substitution is permanent and if left unchecked it is treated as as-needed. A permanent substitute will automatically receive the primary users work items in their own box. In the case of as-needed, substitute must manually adopt the work items from the primary users inbox.
6. Save the entries
7. Click Enter to leave the screen.
Adopting a Substitute in Workflow
If you have been designated as an as-needed substitute, you must manually adopt the substitution. If you are designated as a permanent substitute, the work items would automatically appear in the inbox.
Before adopting a substitution, there are 19 work items in the inbox. See the screenshot below:
To adopt a substitution, select Settings à Workflow settings à adopt substitution.
Select the corresponding User-id (if you have been assigned as a substitute for multiple people, then this option would allow you to select the user name of whom you would to check the work items)
The corresponding users work items would appear in our inbox now.
You can end the substitution, by selecting settings à Workflow settings à End substitution.
Note: Substitutes can only adopt work items that are directly routed to the person for whom they are a substitute. If you are a substitute for a user (SAPDEV02) who has been made a substitute for another user (SAPDEV01), you will only see work items for user SAPDEV02 and not of the user SAPDEV01.
Notification of Work Items via e-Mail
SAP provides us with a facility of notifying the user via the email address of your choice when there are any pending work items in the SAP Inbox..
1. Go to Transaction SO13.
2. Click on Automatic Forwarding tab.
3. Click on Create icon .
4. Enter the details in the above screen.
5. Click ENTER to complete the entries.
6. Now the notification would be received at the provided email address if there are any pending work items in the inbox.
Filtering the Work Items in the SAP Inbox using BADI
This document details about the procedure in filtering some of the work items from the SAP inbox using a BADi.
Following is the screenshot of the SAP inbox, before implementing BADi:
The BADi that is used in filtering the work items is WF_BWP_SELECT_FILTER. To implement the BADi, go to transaction SE18. From the menu, select Implementation à Create. (See the screenshot below)
Enter the implementation name and press ENTER
Enter any meaningful short text for the implementation and click on the tab Interface
The implementing class, ZCL_IM_BWP_SELECT_FILTER, is automatically proposed. Double click on the implementing class name.
You are now navigated to the class builder. Now double-click on the method name shown on the screen (see the snapshot below)
Now let us filter out the work items belonging to the task TS2000066. See the code below:
Activate the method and also the implementation. In the state of active, you wouldnt be able to make any changes. To make any changes, we need to deactivate it and then make the changes.
Now check the inbox and would notice that the work items related to that task are no more appearing.
To notice the differences, try activating and deactivating the BADi implementation.

Error level documentation for 36xx errros

Hi,
Can anyone point me at the documentation for the Error messages for these errors for Sybase 15.x
3606, 3607, 3619, 3620, 3622
Looking in ...
Exception Handling Errors (3600s)
but they seems to be missing.
I can see them in the 12.x manual but I think the severities have changed.
Just wanting to confirm.

Thanks - is any of this docmented anywhere that a developer can read it ?
Since its changed since V12 it might be useful to update the manual.
Its also a little confusing and inconsistent in that sysmessages shows the errors as severity 10.
       select severity from master..sysmessages where error = 3607
but the errors are shown as
       Msg 3607, Level 16, State 0
       Server 'S1', Line 1
       Divide by zero occurred.

Documentation for XQuery Functions?

I have been looking for more information on the Aqualogic specific XQuery functions but have so far come up short. In particular I want to know the details for fn-bea:uuid(). I would like to be able to generate a unique identifier to use for correlating messages that come through ALSB in my log. Is there somewhere that I can find a description of what this function does?

Where do I find documentation for APEX provided javascript functions such as addRow();?
addRow is undocumented.
Documented JavaScript methods are described in the API Reference, other documentation for the current version is located on the APEX Documentation page. Documentation for previous versions is located in the documentation archive.
