Doubt about expression "Position" on DATE RULE XML

Hi guys,
Does anybody know what expression "POSITION" exactly do in a DATE RULE?
Below a fragment of DATE RULE XML
<VarTimeExp displayType="VarTime"
                                  name="PERIOD_DATE"
                                  *position="E"*>
               
               </VarTimeExp>
Other question,
Does anybody knows where I could find information regarding building new XML to DATE RULE?
Very thanks for any help.

Hi,
This is the date rule where the logic is written to add the duration CSDURATION to the date type CSCREATDATE.
You will find the date type and duration in the date profile.

Doubt about Substitution Rules

Hello gurus!
We have a doubt about Management Substitution Rules. We fully understand all the benefits of this feature and tried to communicate to all our personnel to make it work properly, but as we have a big staff and not everybody have the same "skills" understanding technology, we eant to have a different approach to this: we want to develop a "user friendly" interface, as a single acreen where we can emulate all the features of Substitution Rules, but we want to know if there is a control program or a Function that controls this, and the understand it fully to achieve this. Anybody knows if this is possible?
Regards IA

Hi,
If you use UWL only with one backend system, you can easily build your own application for example with web dynpro ABAP. Just use the function modules SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE* to do the different operations (creating, deleting substitutions, etc.).
If you have multiple backend systems, it is a bit more complicated. You could build your own (Java WD) application by using the Substitution API. Check the docs at: http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/uw/com/sap/netweaver/bc/uwl/IUWLSubstitutionManager.html
Both approaches work.

DOUBT ABOUT MASTER DATA

Hey guys!!!
I have a doubt about master data, i need to add an atribute to a master data characteristic, do i have to erase the data to do this or can i add the atribute without erase the data?
Thanks and Regards!!

KK,
Thats not true.
You neednot delete master data to add attributes to a characteristic.
Additionally, you cannot delete (there are methods to delete which are not suggested) master data in normal way, if there is transactional data for that characteristic.
Luis,
You should be able to add attribute to a characteristic without deleting master data, but make sure you load data for the same for values to reflect.

How to add two duration in a date rule

Hello Experts
                    I need to add two duration's in a date rule . previously i have only added a single duration to a date type.The code i am using is
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Dynamically call function module in the date rule

Hi Experts
I am currently working on service request.I am facing a problem in the date management there.In my service request i have 5 statuses .One of my status is "Pending with consumer".I am using duration settings of service request.By duration settings , i am calculating the duration for which its pending with consumer.I am having 2 response profile one is 24*7 and other is having 9 working hours.In the service request from the SLA configuration i am calculating the escalation date & Time .I need to add the pending with consumer duration with the escalation date and time.I am facing a problem , i am explaining whole problem ..
Let say if the pending with consumer duration is 1440 minutes(that is 24 hours) .I am adding the minutes to the escalation date through the date rule.
I am facing problem that if the service profile is 24*7 then there is no problem but if it is having the 9 hours working service profile then after adding the minutes to it the escalation date is changing to 4 days ahead which is wrong.
I need to add only those minutes for which it is pending with consumer in working hours for the 9 hours service profile
I need to dynamically determine the working hours from the duration then add it to escalation dates when the status is changed from pending with consumer.
Please suggest a badi will work or how to do it.
Is there any way so that while adding duration's in the date rule i can determine if the service profile is 24*7 then i will directly add the durations or else if service profile is 9 hours then i will determine the working hours from the duration" pending with consumer" then i will add.
Is there any way so that i can call any custom function module then write my logic there
Its urgent as i need to give demo.I will appreciate a quick reply.Please reply
I will assign points as soon as i will get reply.

Hi sridhar,
the explanation already given is correct and good. Small add-on:
All functions called during one LUW with addition IN UPDATE TASK are stored together with their actual parameters in a temporary memory area. The moment a COMMIT WORK is issued, the functions are released to be executed by a so-called update task which is running in the background. This explains why functions called in update task never return anything, no SY-SUBRC and no export or table parameters If a function called in update task raises an exception or runs into an error the calling user will get an express message informing about this. Also, all database updates done by this update process are rolled back to keep consistency.
This proceeding helps to keep database tables consistent and allows the user to keep on doing his work before all database updates are complete. You may have seen messages like "material will be changed" after saving. If you open the same material immediately, you'll get a message "object locked by...<yourself>". This means the update task is still running.
Regards,
Clemens

How to Define new Date rules

Hi ,
I have a requirement in my project, where in i have to create some new date rules. I've searched the whole web to find any document which explains the XML for Date rules but couldn't find any. Does any one know what that XML means, and how to create new Date rules ?
Please reply
Krishna-

Hi
it just calculates new dates base on reference dates or abap function modules.
In IMG in Date management node you can create your own date rules.
Best would be to copy existing one and than modify it.
Please read this thread about this: Date rules editor - file format documentation availability

Date rules editor - file format documentation availability

Hi,
In CRM date management there is a feature that allows definition of automatic date determination, e.g. contract end date = contract start date + 90 days.
To access date editor you may call SM30 with view V_TIMERUNA, 2x click on date rule and an editor is launched with XML file that looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SAPTimeRule>
   <TimeRuleTree>
   
      <ruleline>
      
         <AssignTimeExp displaytype="AssignTime">
         
            <VarTimeExp displayType="VarTime"
                               name="RESULT"
                           position='B'>
            
            </VarTimeExp>
              <MoveTimeExp displaytype="MoveTime" direction="+">
              
            <ConstLocTimeExp displaytype="ConstLocTime"
                          date="now"
                          time="000000"
                          timeunit="DAY">
               <VarObjectExp displaytype="VarObject" name="SYSTEM"/>
            </ConstLocTimeExp>
                 <ConstDuraExp displaytype="ConstDura"
                                  duration="6" timeunit="MONTH">
                 
                    <VarObjectExp displaytype="VarObject"
                                  name="SYSTEM"/>
                    
                 </ConstDuraExp>
           </MoveTimeExp>
         </AssignTimeExp>
      </ruleline>
   </TimeRuleTree>
</SAPTimeRule>
This feature is mentioned in SAP CRM online help, but it does not include any details of XML syntax to be used, meaning of tags, etc.
I was unable to find any documentation of this file format in help.sap.com or service.sap.com.
Has anyone come across a specification of the file format to define Date Rules in SAP CRM?

Hello experts,
Could you also send me a copy of the documentation? My email address is [email protected]
Thanks in advance!
Or paste the link please

How to insert the data from XML to a table

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10g Express Edition
I need help in How to insert the data from XML file into the table.
Below is the example i'm working on..
I have create ridb user with below mentioned privileges:
Account Status Locked Unlocked
Default Tablespace: USERS
Temporary Tablespace: TEMP
User Privileges :
Roles:
CONNECT
RESOURCE
Direct Grant System Privileges:
CREATE DATABASE LINK
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM
CREATE ROLE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE TYPE
CREATE VIEW
& table is created TRIALZIPCODES below mentioned is the DDL:
CREATE TABLE TRIALZIPCODES
STATE_ABBR VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL
, ZIP_CODE NUMBER(10, 0) NOT NULL
, ZIP_CODE_EXT VARCHAR2(20)
Below is the XML FILE: which is stored in C:\OracleProject Folder
File name: trial.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<metadata>
- <Zipcodes>
- <mappings Record="4">
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>CA</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>94301</ZIPCODE>
</mappings>
- <mappings Record="5">
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>CO</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>80323</ZIPCODE>
<ZIP_CODE_EXTN>9277</ZIP_CODE_EXTN>
</mappings>
</Zipcodes>
</metadata>
PL/SQL Procedure:which i'm trying to execute from SQLDeveloper
create or replace
PROCEDURE TRIAL AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
-- declare attributes
charString varchar2(80);
finalStr varchar2(4000) := null;
rowsp integer;
v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_context_handle dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
begin
-- DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag ( ctx IN ctxHandle, rowTag IN VARCHAR2);
-- DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag ( ctx IN ctxHandle, rowSetTag IN VARCHAR2);
-- the name of the table as specified in our DTD
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG(l_context_handle,'zipcodes');
-- the name of the data set as specified in our DTD
DBMS_xmlgen.setRowTag(l_context_handle,'mappings');
-- for getting the output on the screen
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
-- open the XML document in read only mode
v_FileHandle := utl_file.fopen('c:/OracleProject','trial.xml', 'r');
loop
BEGIN
utl_file.get_line(v_FileHandle, charString);
exception
when no_data_found then
utl_file.fclose(v_FileHandle);
exit;
END;
dbms_output.put_line(charString);
if finalStr is not null then
finalStr := finalStr || charString;
else
finalStr := charString;
end if;
end loop;
-- for inserting the XML data into the table
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.NEWCONTEXT('RIDB.TRIALZIPCODES');
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.INSERTXML(insCtx, finalStr);
dbms_output.put_line('INSERT DONE '||TO_CHAR(rowsp));
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
END;
END TRIAL;
For the first time when i complied i got the errors as :
Procedure RIDB.PROCEDURE1@RIDB
Error(16,14): PLS-00201: identifier 'UTL_FILE' must be declared
Error(16,14): PL/SQL: Item ignored
Error(29,1): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
Error(29,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Error(36,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error(36,17): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
So i logged in as sys & grant the permission to execute on UTL_FILE to ridb (user):
SQL Statement:
grant execute on utl_file to ridb
So, it got compiled successfully but when i execute it gives me error as:
Source does not have a runnable target.
What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

hi,
I have created the directory from sys database
CREATE or replace DIRECTORY XML_DIR2 AS 'C:\OracleProject';
& grant read,write access to the user
grant read,write on directory XML_DIR2 to RIDB;
& i had change the tag name in the xml file as shown below:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<metadata>
<Zipcodes>
<mappings Record="4">
<STABBRE>CA</STABBRE>
<ZIPCODE>94301</ZIPCODE>
</mappings>
<mappings Record="5">
<STABBRE>CO</STABBRE>
<ZIPCODE>80323</ZIPCODE>
<ZIPCODEEXT>9277</ZIPCODEEXT>
</mappings>
</Zipcodes>
</metadata>
TRIALZIPCODE table as shown below:
CREATE TABLE "RIDB"."TRIALZIPCODE"
(     "STABBRE" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
     "ZIPCODE" NUMBER(*,6) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ZIPCODEEXT" NUMBER

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
I have tried two methods as shown below:
Procedure 1:
create or replace
PROCEDURE TRIAL_V2 AS
BEGIN
DECLARE

--XML_DIR VARCHAR2(40) := 'C:\\OracleProject';
BEGIN
insCtx := DBMS_XMLStore.newContext('DEV.TRIALZIPCODES');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx, 'STABBRE');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx, 'ZIPCODE');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdatecolumn(insCtx, 'ZIPCODEEXT');
DBMS_XMLStore.setRowTag(insCtx, 'mappings');
cnt := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(insCtx, xmldoc);
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
END;
Procedure 1 was compiled with out errors but when i execute i got the error as :
Source does not have a runnable target.
Procedure 2_
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TRIAL_V3 AS
BEGIN

Error While viewing data on XML model- java.sql.SQLException: constante num

I am trying to read an XML file and I keep getting an error. At first it worked, and the it stopped working. I re-did everthing exactly as first time and I cannot get it work
Here is what I do :
1)     Create Physical Architecture under the XML Technology.
a) we create a Data Server with these data:
          Name: XML_SERIVA_TM_DES
          Technology: XML
          JDBC Driver: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
          JDBC Url: jdbc:snps:xml?file=c:\Temp\hoy\CRM_CR_CURRENCY.xml&dtd=c:\Temp\hoy\ServiciosSerivaConsultasTypes0.xsd
     b) We place the files xml and xsd files according to the JDBC provided in previous point.
     We click on "Test Connection" and Connection is correct
     c) We create a physical schema under the Data Server created in point a) , with these data:
          Name: XML_SERIVA_TM_DES (After created the name is replaced by XML_SERIVA_TM_DES.Esquema)
          Schema (Schema) : <No Definido> ( not sure of english value, it should be <Undefined>)
          Schema (Work Schema) : <No Definido> ( not sure of english value, it should be <Undefined>)
          Default :It is a checkbox , and it is ticked.
          Under the "Context" tab, we add a logical schema named XML_SERIVA_TM for the "Desarrollo" Context
2) Create a Model On the Designer Navigator, we expand the "Models" panel
     a) For Organization, We create a "Folder" Model. It is named "XML"
     b) Under the Folder created in a), we create a new Model , with these data:
          Name: XML_SERIVA_TM
          Code: XML_SERIVA_TM
          Technology: XML
          Logical Schema: XML_SERIVA_TM
     c) Do reverse-engineering.
          In the Reverse tab of the model,
               + "Standard" is selected
               + Context: "Desarrollo"
               + The types of objects to reverse-engineer are: Table
          In the Selective reverse tab, we select : New Datastores, Existing Datastores, Objects to reverse.
          All the datastores that appear are checked
          We click on Reverse Engineer in the toolbar menu
          And the reverse engineer is done successfully and the datastores appear in the model panel
     d) We try to test the reverse engineering by clicking on the datastores and select "View Data",
          after click we get the folloging exception (running with Local agent) :

We also try to create an interface with the datastore of the model as source of the interface, and
get the same exact exception as above, when interfaces in executed either with no-agent(local) or with an agent.
Bellow I pasted the xsd schema and XML data:
