Dynamic attributes in Bid

Hi friends,
I need to know / confirm dyanamic attributes manual evaluation process.
1. A purchaser creates a bid invitation with dynamic attribute for "text". Evaluation
    for this attribute is "Manual"
2. Bidder puts his comments against this attribute & submit bid
3. Purchaser opens vendor bid and has to give weighings to the bidder comments.
    Purchaser clicks on "change" mode
4. Purchaser goes to "weighing" tab
5. Under valuation column, I am able to put valuation figure, but there is no option
    to save the same.. because of which i am not able to consider this attribute for
    bid evaluation analuysis.
Please let me know if this is the right way of doing manual valuation of dynamic attributes or there is some other way. If its the right way, how can I save the valuation figures?
Your response will be highly appreciated and point will be awrded for appropriate responses.
Best regards,

Custom Dynamic Attributes

Hello Experts:
Does anyone knows if it is possible to create a Custom Dynamic Attribute for Bid Comparison where this custom Attribute can be automatically filled through a function module or program with some calculated value?
My requirement is to provide an automatic supplier qualification which can be used as a comparison attribute, the qualification could be calculated using supplier information from previous POs, Confirmations, etc.
Hope you can help me out
Hugo

Hi,
Dynamic Attributes for Bid Invitation can be created using customization.
SPRO-> SRM Server->Bid Invidation - > Dynamic Attributes.
Generally the response to the dynamic attributes are given by Bidder when submitting the Bid.
For automaic population of response to the bidder do you want to do through report ?
you can implement "BBP_DOC_CHANGE" BADI metod "BBP_QUOT_CHANGE" for pupulating the response of dynamic attribute while submitting BId.

Fixed values of dynamic attributes are not displayed for bid response

Hi
I have created a bid with dynamic attributes and have weighted the options with fixed values. I publish the Rfx (bid) and all is ok. The problem is that the fixed values are not displaying when doing a bid response.
We are using SRM 7.0
Can anyone help?

No. Not yet. I think it is a bug. You should create an OSS message to SAP and ask them to pay special attention to the following code block:
Class: /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_DODM_DYNATTR
Method: /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_MAPPER~REFRESH
At the end of the method, look for code context:
IF lv_object_type = c_qte.
*Set the Fixed Values Table to Invisible
lv_visible = abap_false.

Default dynamic attributes and weightings on BID invitation

Based on certain business logic i need to default dynamic attributes and weightings on bid invitation transaction BBP_BID_INV,
I tried to do some code in method BBP_QUOT_CHANGE of BADI
BBP_DOC_CHANGE. The execution doesn't stop at that method as i put a breakpoint there.
However it does stop at BBP_BID_CHANGE method, i could not use this method because et_weight internal table is not available there ( i need to populate something in weightings) although ET_DYN_ATTR is available.
Question is , for what purpose BBP_QUOT_CHANGE is used ?
Let me know if you have any inputs ..
-With Thanks
Alok Pathak

Hi,
BBP_QUOT_CHANGE method is used for QUOTATION.Whenever any change is done in the Quotation then this method is triggered.

Defaulting dynamic attributes and weightings for BID INVITATION

Hi Friends
I have a task at hand to default the dynamic attributes( some custom defined fields for the bidder) for bid invitation.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in Advance
Regards

Hi Ankur,
I assume you are looking for attributes automatically populated, when a user
creates a bid invitation. Did you try to work with a template and define the
bid invitation in the way required and create a bid invitation based on the template?
Another option is to define the attributes for well defined categories and let the
users use the "propose" button.
Thanks,
Claudia

PROPOSE botton in the Attributes option Bidding Engine SRM 5.0

Hi all,
When a purchaser processes a bid invitation there is an option called Attributes.
When the purchaser click into the Attributes option there are several bottons activated: Propose, Create and Start Search.
Does anybody know the difference between PROPOSE and START SEARCH? If for example I select a Product Category and I press on Start Search several attributes are displayed. So, I don't understand the difference between these two buttons.
Thanks in advanced,
Mar

Hello Mar,
The main difference is that the
PROPOSE take the information of product category from Basic Data tab in bid invitation, and with SEARCH button you can assign any attribute to your document, finally with CREATE button you can write your own attribute for this document.
In other words you can simplify to the purchaser work, Defining groups and Assigning Groups to Product Categories in configuration, when a bid invitation is created with product category, you can assign an attribute.

Dynamic Attribute in AS2 Receiver

Hello,
in the Seeburger AS2 Receiver channel I have found "AS Message ID" in the last of possible Dynamic Attributes. How do I set this one, so what is the name of the dynamic configuration key. Any idea on this?

Let me expalin you the complete thing.
In mapping i m using this UDF for dynamic subject.
DateFormat dfCurrentDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateFormat dfCurrentTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SS");
Date dCurrentDate = new Date();
String strCurrentDate = dfCurrentDate.format(dCurrentDate) + "T" + dfCurrentTime.format(dCurrentDate) + "Z";
String strSubject="Literal"+ "_" + strCurrentDate;
// Dynamic Subject
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey keySubject = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtSubject", "DYNSUBJECT");
conf.put(keySubject,strSubject);
return "";
In receiver service I have used "localejbs/Seeburger/AttribMapper" module.
Parameter name http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtSubject
Parameter value @http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtSubject/DYNSUBJECT
In moni I can see the dynamic configuration tab(neither Tab nor value)
But in RWB comm. channel monitoring I can see in Audit log but not in SOAP document.
Hope i have cleared you..
Thanks

Need Dynamic attributes for XI adapter to use in Dynamic Configuration ..!!

Hi Friends,
We are planning send message to different receivers through XI adapter by using Dynamic Configuration.
Can anyone please tell me what are the dynamic attributes used for XI adapter.
In my scenario, I want to pass the Service Number and Path prefix of XI adpater dynamically by using sender ID from Idoc payload.
I know how to use the dynamic configuration UDF in message mapping. But I don't know the dynamic attributes which we can pass to Service Number and Path prefix of XI adpater.
Kindly suggest ..
Thanks
Deepthi.

Hi Sourabh,
>> You need to set these attributes explicitly in the adapter configuration..
Can you please elaborate on this like how to implement this? Do we need to use any module configuration in the adapter?
We will use XI adapter only while sending the data directly from IE without using any feautures of AE (like adapters, modules etc). It is like directly sending data from ABAP stack without using J2EE stack. That is the reason we can't use any Modules in XI adpater and it is in disabled by default.
When I checked in SXMB_MONI.. as you said details are found in
- <SAP:Attribute>
<SAP:Name>host</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Value>10.190.25.16</SAP:Value>
</SAP:Attribute>
- <SAP:Attribute>
<SAP:Name>httpDestination</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Value />
</SAP:Attribute>
- <SAP:Attribute>
<SAP:Name>path</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Value>/rcvA/receiver</SAP:Value>
</SAP:Attribute>
- <SAP:Attribute>
<SAP:Name>port</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Value>8210</SAP:Value>
</SAP:Attribute>
XI adapter uses mainly three parameters Host, Port and Path.
I want to pass any two of these values dynamically to achieve my solution. Can you please suggest your solution how we can implement it.

Dynamic Attributes with UDF - NullPointerException

Hello,
I want to set the file name of an file receiver by means of setting dynamic attributes in an UDF.
I use the following code and map the output to the root node of the target message (one input variable is var1)
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String myFileName = var1;
conf.put(key, myFileName);
return "";
When I want to test the mapping using the test tab I get a null pointer exception:
Exception:[java.lang.NullPointerException] in class com.sap.xi.tf
Could the reason be, that setting dynamic attributes does not work when testing a mapping as the mapping has to be called by the IE runtime or is there any other reason?

Hi Florain,
I can understand, but that is how it is designed because the filename paramter can be picked up only during the runtime. But if you use other parameters like interface, sender name etc you can test it in mapping. Please go to test tab and click on parameters tab. There you see few parameters for runtime also. You can put some value there and then you can test the mapping and you will not receive that error. You dont have filename there, so thats the reason why you are getting error. Hope in next release SAP would come up with this option.

Seeburger AS2 Adapter - Dynamic Attributes

Dear all,
We have a scenario where, we are sending an IDOC from our SAP system via XI to one of our partner using AS2.
We have to manipulate the file name at the receiver end using the dynamic attributes of the AS2 communication channel.
As per the documentation and the following threads
Re: File to AS2 File Name? we have done the necessary configuration in the communication channel. The following activites are done
Selected the checkbox "Use dynamic attributes"
Under the Module tab
In Processing sequence added a new entry
Number 1
Module Name : localejbs/Seeburger/solution/as2
Module Type : Local enterprise bean
Module Key : "dynfile"
Under the Module Configuration added the following details
Module key : "dynfile"
Parameter Name : "http://seeburger.com/xi/AS2/dtAS2FileName"
Parameter Value : "DYNFILENAME"
However, I understand that this configuration is incomplete, as somewhere i need to pass the value to the variable "DYNFILENAME".
As per the thred Re: File to AS2 File Name?, Mr Srinivas Reddy mentioned 5 steps, however I am not clear about the step 3 & 4.
FYI : What I want to map as the file name is the Parter Profile in the EDIDC40 segment of the idoc and the date+time stamp
Many thanks for the help , in advance
Regards : Bobby Bal
Edited by: Bobby Bal on Sep 20, 2010 9:52 PM

Hi,
Use the below UDF in your mapping..
public String FileName(String a,Container container){
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://seeburger.com/xi/AS2","dtSubject");
conf.put(key, a);
As per your requirement, Use Concatenate function Idoc + Date + Time .
Pass the resultant value to the UDF and pass this to any unused Target node.
IDOC + Time+Date --> UDF --> Target node.
In your receiver AS2 adapter, Click on use dynamic attributes and Subject check boxes.
If you want to use other Dynamic attributes like dtAS2FileName, dtAS2ContentType ..
Simply replace the dtSubject with dtAS2FileName or dtAS2ContentType . No need to use any modules.
Thanks
Deepthi.

Error in committing data while using dynamic attributes

Hi,
Module: Performance Management
Page: Give Final Ratings: Main Appraiser
Here, I have used dynamic attributes to show the competency name without segments.
I have added this attribute through controller and i passed value to this attribute in the same ProcessRequest method.
But, when the manager tries to complete the appraisal for his employee by pressing the continue button in the above mentioned page, the following exception is throwing.
"This competence already exists within the assessment."
Is this dynamic attribute will be the problem for this?
can any one please tell me?
Thanks in advance,
SAN

Hi,
If you added the column from Extended Controller. It should be a transient attribute to the VO and I think it should not create any issues.
Error "This competence already exists within the assessment." looks like from an FND Message , You can try to debug this issue by finding the FND Message Name corresponding to the error and search the Message Name in the seeded code.

Easy and efficient way to set dynamic attributes

My integration scenario is quite complex involving many different receivers and an integration process. For some receivers I have to set dynamic attributes.
I know that I can set them by using a UDF, however in my case I mostly use XSLT so this is not applicable.
Is there any other way to do this relatively easy so that I can avoid Java Mappings? Problem ist that I would need to use several Java Mappings to set the attributes where no transformation to the payload itself is taking place which seems to be too much for me. Especially when I consider that these Java Mappings are hard to maintain as they have to be imported again and again if any changes occur.
So my question is:
1. Do I really have to go for several Java Mappings just to set some dynamic attributes ?
2. If so, should I use different Java Packages or is it advisable to leave all Java Mappings in one package?

Hi Florian,
yes, you can!
set dyn atts in XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:map="java:java.util.Map" xmlns:dyn="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfiguration" xmlns:key="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfigurationKey">
<xsl:if test="REFERENCEQUALIFIER='MSU'">
 <xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf" select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')"></xsl:variable>
 
 <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key" select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail', 'MAILADRESS_SU')"></xsl:variable>
 <xsl:variable name="dummy" select="dyn:put($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key, $MAILADRESS)"></xsl:variable>
 <xsl:comment>Mailadresse SU ermittelt: <xsl:value-of select="$MAILADRESS"></xsl:value-of>
 </xsl:comment>
Hoffe es hilft.

Extended receiver determination and Dynamic attributes

Hello,
is it possible to access dynamic attributes within an extended receiver determination? Can I modify / set dynamic attributes of an XI message within an UDF in the extended receiver determination mapping?
In detail: In my scenario I want to use an extended rec. determination, make a lookup in a DB inside the determination in order to define the receiver, and based on the lookup result I want to add some information as dynamic attributes to the XI message, which then can be accessed in the interface determination as conditions.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
In my scenario I want to use an extended rec. determination, make a lookup in a DB inside the determination in order to define the receiver, and based on the lookup result I want to add some information as dynamic attributes to the XI message, which then can be accessed in the interface determination as conditions - See you can do a DB lookup in a msg mapping........but by the time you have reached msg mapping your receiver determination will be done......so your receiver is already decided............Extended recever determination is for dynamically choosing a recever based on source msg's data.........
