Dropdown for Title key and academic title

Hi Experts,
How to provide a Dropdown for Title and Academic Title fields in the component ICCMP_BP_DETAIL, View: BupaDetailB2B, Contextnode: Customer, Attribute:Struct.Title_Key. The field is of type input field but, i want to make it as picklist.Please suggest some Inputs.I am functional guy, so please try to give detailed solution.Thanks in advance.
Regards
Krish

Hi Krishna,
As far as I can see this note provides the TITLE_KEY dropdrown list... that's cool.
Then what is exactly that you don't understand ? After applying the note you just need to add the TITLE_KEY field to your configuration to make it appear on the screen... (and SAP suggests to use object subtypes in your configuration criterias to make this field appear under certain circumstances only -- but it is not mandatory).

Need help for displaying key and description in Dropdown (ABAP WEBDYNPRO)

Hi Experts,
I am using dropdown as a table field. For this dropdown I want to display the value as well as description.
In ALV table when we create a dropdown dynamically in table field, there is a method SET_KEY_VISIBLE in class CL_SALV_WD_UIE_DROPDOWN_BY_KEY.
But I think we cannot use similar method for normal dropdown field in table.
Is there any way we can display both value and description in dropdown value set ?
Please help.
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
I think there is no such option. You need to consider one variable type string and while populating the
valueset fill this variable by concatenating the value and description and assign it the key and value
pair of the valueset.
DATA:
lt_value_set_ctry      type table of wdr_context_attr_value, " Country/Service Location
lv_str type string.
    loop at lit_country into ls_country.
      concatenate ls_country-value ls_country-text into lv_str separated by space.
      ls_value_set-value = lv_str.
      ls_value_set-text = lv_str.
      append ls_value_set to lt_value_set_ctry.
      clear ls_value_set.
    endloop.
      lr_node_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'COUNTRY'
                 value_set = lt_value_set_ctry ).
Consider this lit_country is a text table for countries.

Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

Hello all
I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual key
mapping field that you never see in the MDM Client.
This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
for viewing and editing value pairs.
Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

Not sure search i think not possible.
But you can see keys as mentioned:
Enable Key mapping in Console.
MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.

Huge performance differences between a map listener for a key and filter

Hi all,
I wanted to test different kind of map listener available in Coherence 3.3.1 as I would like to use it as an event bus. The result was that I found huge performance differences between them. In my use case, I have data which are time stamped so the full key of the data is the key which identifies its type and the time stamp. Unfortunately, when I had my map listener to the cache, I only know the type id but not the time stamp, thus I cannot add a listener for a key but for a filter which will test the value of the type id. When I launch my test, I got terrible performance results then I tried a listener for a key which gave me much better results but in my case I cannot use it.
Here are my results with a Dual Core of 2.13 GHz
1) Map Listener for a Filter
a) No Index
Create (data always added, the key is composed by the type id and the time stamp)
Cache.put
Test 1: Total 42094 millis, Avg 1052, Total Tries 40, Cache Size 80000
Cache.putAll
Test 2: Total 43860 millis, Avg 1096, Total Tries 40, Cache Size 80000

Please help me to find what is wrong with my code because for now it is unusable.

Hi Robert,
Indeed, only the Filter.evaluate(Object obj)
method is invoked, but the object passed to it is a
MapEvent.<< In fact, I do not need to implement EntryFilter to
get a MapEvent, I could get the same result (in my
last message) by writting
cache.addMapListener(listener, filter,
true)instead of
cache.addMapListener(listener, new
MapEventFilter(filter) filter, true)
I believe, when the MapEventFilter delegates to your filter it always passes a value object to your filter (old or new), meaning a value will be deserialized.
If you instead used your own filter, you could avoid deserializing the value which usually is much larger, and go to only the key object. This would of course only be noticeable if you indeed used a much heavier cached value class.
The hashCode() and equals() does not matter on
the filter class<< I'm not so sure since I noticed that these methods
were implemented in the EqualsFilter class, that they
are called at runtime and that the performance
results are better when you add them
That interests me... In what circumstances did you see them invoked? On the storage node before sending an event, or upon registering a filtered listener?
If the second, then I guess the listeners are stored in a hash-based map of collections keyed by a filter, and indeed that might be relevant as in that case it will cause less passes on the filter for multiple listeners with an equalling filter.
DataOutput.writeInt(int) writes 4 bytes.
ExternalizableHelper.writeInt(DataOutput, int) writes
1-5 bytes (or 1-6?), with numbers with small absolute
values consuming less bytes.Similar differences exist
for the long type as well, but your stamp attribute
probably will be a large number...<< I tried it but in my use case, I got the same
results. I guess that it must be interesting, if I
serialiaze/deserialiaze many more objects.
Also, if Coherence serializes an
ExternalizableLite object, it writes out its
class-name (except if it is a Coherence XmlBean). If
you define your key as an XmlBean, and add your class
into the classname cache configuration in
ExternalizableHelper.xml, then instead of the
classname, only an int will be written. This way you
can spare a large percentage of bandwidth consumed by
transferring your key instance as it has only a small
number of attributes. For the value object, it might
or might not be so relevant, considering that it will
probably contain many more attributes. However, in
case of a lite event, the value is not transferred at
all.<< I tried it too and in my use case, I noticed that
we get objects nearly twice lighter than an
ExternalizableLite object but it's slower to get
them. But it is very intersting to keep in mind, if
we would like to reduce the network traffic.
Yes, these are minor differences at the moment.
As for the performance of XMLBean, it is a hack, but you might try overriding the readExternal/writeExternal method with your own usual ExternalizableLite implementation stuff. That way you get the advantages of the xmlbean classname cache, and avoid its reflection-based operation, at the cost of having to extend XMLBean.
Also, sooner or later the TCMP protocol and the distributed cache storages will also support using PortableObject as a transmission format, which enables using your own classname resolution and allow you to omit the classname from your objects. Unfortunately, I don't know when it will be implemented.
>
But finally, I guess that I found the best solution
for my specific use case which is to use a map
listener for a key which has no time stamp, but since
the time stamp is never null, I had just to check
properly the time stamp in the equals method.
I would still recommend to use a separate key class, use a custom filter which accesses only the key and not the value, and if possible register a lite listener instead of a heavy one. Try it with a much heavier cached value class where the differences are more pronounced.
Best regards,
Robert

Difference between field staus group for posting key and GL account

Hi all,
can anyone tell me what is the difference of usage for field status group in posting key and GL account as i notice the fileds are the same. during data entry, system will check both field status or how?
thanks.

Hi
Both are to control the field status of the line item.
But, the FSG of the Posting Key and the GL FSG status should not clash like below.
Take 'Assignment' field as example :
Posting key FS - Suppress & GL FS - Required - will give you error message at the time of posting
Posting key FS - Required & GL FS - Suppress - will give you error message at the time of posting
Otherthan the above, all other combination works

How shall we do validation for Unique Key and Multiple Primary Key?

Hi,
I have table created From EO in which one column is checked as Unique.
How to do validation for column checked as Unique.
I know how to do validation for column checked as primary key.
Below is sample code for primary key validation
if (getRvSize() != null)
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,
getEntityDef().getFullName(), // EO name
getPrimaryKey(), // EO PK
"RvSize", // Attribute Name
value, // Attribute value
"AK", // Message product short name
"FWK_TBX_T_EMP_ID_NO_UPDATE"); // Message name
if (value != null)
OADBTransaction transaction = getOADBTransaction();
Object[] rvKey = {value};
EntityDefImpl rvDefinition = xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl rv =
(xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl)rvDefinition.findByPrimaryKey(transaction, new Key(rvKey));
if (rv != null)
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,
getEntityDef().getFullName(), // EO name
getPrimaryKey(), // EO PK
"RvSize", // Attribute Name
value, // Attribute value
"AK", // Message product short name
"FWK_TBX_T_EMP_ID_UNIQUE"); // Message name
What changes need to be done for above code in order to do the validation for Unique Key.
I have one more Question
How shall we do the Validation for Multiple Primary Key in a table?
- Mithun

1. If you just validate on one attribute like your unique key, then put your logic in the set<Your AttributeName) method
2. If you want to do the cross validation ( like validating multiple attributes) then put your logic in the validateEntrity Method
How to do that?
1. Create a Validation View object.
2. Associate your VVO to the VAM
3. Create entity expert.
4. Have method in entity expert for your validation (you would be calling AM and then VO execute the query and do the validation.
5. You would be calling the Entity experty method from your EO either setMethods or validateEntity.
I have given just the high level points.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
RK

How to have multi select dropdowns for web request and adobe forms

Hi All,
I am working on interactive forms for CRM 7.0 using web request and ZCI layout.
When I say web request we define the fields required for the form in CRM that becomes the context for WDA and passed onto Adobe form.
This web request is a flat structure which mean if I have a node and attributes with in that you cant have multiple values to wards this node as in WDA.
Now My query:
I have a field called "xyz" since web request is a flat structure i just defined it as a string.
In WDA I made it a enumrated field and added key value pairs to it.
In Adobe form I binded this field to a WD native enum dropdown list every thing is fine untill here.
Now in the form I need this as a multiple select, so i changed the dropdown field to list box it works.
The form has to be submitted as a draft version when did so, it will not execute any APIs but saves the data to the web request.
When the same form is opened for the next time, with the data in web request it should reopen this field with the multiple seleced values high lighted.
since the field xyz is a single filed of string, how can i maintain multiple values in that...?
if there is a form status auto save function in Adobe form this might solve a bit but not sure when the form is opened 2nd time from web reqest view does it consider it as a new one or open the same form...?
I have such dropdown fields and problems including ones with depenedt values on one another.
I tried my best to explain the problem, if somebody can help me with this its much appriciated.
Note: Since this is dependent on CRM web request I am posting the same query in that block also apologies if this mean a duplicacy.
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

I got the solution and problem is solved.
Iterating & processing a enumrated dropdown is like any other dropdown /list box in adobe forms.

Sai Krishna

Storage for Foreign Keys and Function based indexes

This may well be the silliest question of the day, but is it possible to specify the storage for a Foreign key or a function based index? I'm not even sure that it would make sense.

Well, a foreign key constraint is not a segment, nor is any other type of constraint. However, a function-based index is a segment, just like any other index. So, in that case, specify a tablespace, just like you would with any other index.
Something like this:
create index my_fbi on my_tab(upper(last_name)) tablespace my_index_tablespace;

Fixed minor typo.

Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade

Hello community
I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly. The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Hi,
Note 1368055 describes this issue. You need to implement the mentioned java patch for the BI components and set the parameter mentioned in the note to solve this issue.

Posting Key and Document type

Hello,
I have just detected an inconsistency in one of my SAP environment (Development). I have an invoice posted from the SD module, document type of this invoice is RV.
If there is a reason to cancell this invoice, the transaction used is VF11. The document type in SD for this cancellation is S1. Thereafter an FI document is generated with document type AB.
Even though the settings in both Production and Acceptance and Developement are the same.
I have realised that the initial document when cancelled (reversed) has an FI document RV and posting key 11. whiles in customizing the settings for posting keys and document types are different from what has been customized. Below is my current settings.
The posting key 01 has a reversed posting key 12 and the document type RV has a reverse document type AB. This customizing is in correct in SPRO.
Transactions : OB41 and OBA7
Can anyone help on this....
Thanks
Elvis

Hello,
Did you verify whether AB document type in OBA7 is marked in "Account Types allowed" the Customer checkbox?
If not, maybe that is why it is not selecting AB as the reversal document type for RV, even though it is set up in RV document the AB document type as reverse document type.
Other than this (if the mentioned above doesn't solve your issue), I would say there should be any user-exit that can be changing the document type, according to some specific business rule of your SAP client or even a substitution.
I hope it helps you.
Regards,
Daniel.

Windows 8 setup does not prompt for license key, then fails, on hp envy notebook

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 8 pro on an hp envy dv7 notebook, that came with a Windows 8 home pre-installed.
I tried by running the setup from the CD inserted while Windows was running, but setup complained that no license key matched the CD and faled. Strange enough,
setup did not prompt for any license key!
I tried the setup on another, older PC, there it did prompt for license key and setup ended well. At least it was not the CD.
Then I retried booting from setup CD, it loaded files, then started the setup without promptiing for any license key, and failed again.
Then I tried with a Windows 7 CD, same behavior, not prompting for license key and fail to setup.
Then I "repaired" Windows by booting from CD and reformatting the hard drive, dropping all Windows partitions, then restart setup from CD, but it still behaved the same way: not prompting for license key, and failing to setup.
I called the HP support, and they answered that it was a problem for Microsoft (what a good support, the only place where the problem occurs is the hp computer, but let the Customer call Microsoft instead).
So here I am, did any of you use an hp computer, and succeeded in installing Windows 8 PRO NFR from Technet plus on it?

Is it a Chinese Editon preinstalled in HP notebook?
Windows 8 preinstall machine includes a license key in system firmware. So Windows 8 setup will use this key rather than pop up product key input text pop. It is a Microsoft by design issue. So no good mathod to workaround this problem.

Not prompted for encrytion key for /dev/mapper/home

I never had a problem setting up encryption on my last laptop, but for some reason on this new laptop I am having the hardest time with this...
I tried installing about four times because I thought I missed something. I have 3 partitions /boot , / and /home, during boot / prompts me for a key and works fine, but it doesnt bother asking me for a key for /home
In my /etc/crypttab i have
home /dev/mapper/home ASK
in my /etc/fstab i have
/dev/mapper/home /home ext4 defaults 0 1
during the install I did everything I thought necessary from the various archlinux wiki pages on encryption.
am I missing something?(obviously I am)

Here try this:
If you using WZC or the built-in wireless utlity of windows.
Go to network connections > right click the wireless network connections >
Go to the wireless network tab > delete all the prefered networks >
Try to reconnect to the wireless network again
If your using Linksys wireless utility or WLAN
Open the software > Go to the profile tab and delete all that you dont need
Try to reconnect to the network again
The profile or the prefered networks are lists of all the networks you have ever connectec to. I believe you did not change the SSID of your network when you secured thus your computer detects it still as an unsecured network
hope this help
