Dynamic entry list used in a table column

On a form, we noticed a dynamic entry list will limit which values a user may enter by validating against the entry list values. We need to have the same validation occur when a dynamic entry list is used in a table column. Has anyone had success in getting the dynamic entry list to validate the cell values in a table column?

Hey Dan,
You are right.... Its a bug... we are also using VC CE 7.1 SP 05....
When I try in form (with combo box) its working fine...I mean its giving error saying "Character string "4" does not exist in the allowed set of values and its not forwarding any values...
but when I use it in table, its not giving any error.
I saw some demos where it was working fine... but those are older sp versions of CE 7.1...
Try to contact SAP VC team on this....

Dynamic entry list - Use Value as input to WS

Hi,
I have a Dynamic Entry list, which displays the text, I would however like to store its value, so that I could use it as input for the Web service.
Any ideas, how that can be done?
Many thanks,
Dharmi

Dharmi Tanna,
In your model,
Drag a Data Store connector from the Compose task panel to the Design board.
Drag from the out port of the UI element whose data is to be stored in the Data Store to the port of the Data Store element.
Right-click the Data Store element and from the context menu, choose Define Data.
Define a virtual field for the Data Store by clicking the Add Field button and choosing the type of data that you want to store. Add more fields as required.
The field is added with a default name.
To define a default value for each field, enter it in the Default Value column.
Define the event used to transfer data to the Data Store
Right-click the connecting line to the Data Store, and from the context menu choose Rename.
Name the event with the same name as the action that adds items to the Data
Map values from the UI element fields to the Data Store fields:
Right-click the connecting line between the elements, and from the context menu choose Map Data.
In the Assigned Value column, choose a UI element field, enter a field name, or define a dynamic expression to specify from where to take the value that is placed in the Data Store.

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Hi,
you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.

Dropdownlist dynamic entry list

hi all;
I have a problem with dropdown list dynamic entry list... I m using BI System as a data service. My characteristic has a hierarchy in bw system but i cant dynamic entry list with my characterictic in vc. In input value i use my characgteristic name( eg @Company). and in output value i use @key and @text. But when i deploy it dropdown list always empty...
What can i do about this?? Can anyone help me?

Hi Ozan,
you want to display a hierachy in a dropdownlist? This is not easy, but should be possible, because the H-Table for hierchies have always the same data structure, so you have to write a function module which creates an internal table like the hierchy. I think the problem is the display in the dropdown, so that the user notice the nodes and the childnodes and so on, maybe you can add 2 spaces for every childnode so that it looks like a tree. I hope your hierachy hasn't a lot of levels.
To the H-table:
the field tlevel is equivalent to the hierchy level so the nodes under the root are 01 child nodes of these nodes have the value 02 and so on.
Via the fileds parentID, ChildId and NextID you have all the information for building your tree in a internal table, which has a key and a text.
The text can be read via the information about the infoObject and the inode is the value, so that you can read the texts from the texttables.
This should be possible for an average abap developer. Looping over H-table and append the values to the internal table...
Maybe I have the time in february to write an prototype then I will write a blog.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Drop-Down Dynamic entry list

Hi,
I use a drop-down list in a form view and I would like to use a dynamic entry list from a characteristic (0SALESORG) of a bi query. But the obtained list is empty.
I am in BI 70 SP 10.
Regards
Jacques

Hi Jacques,
as Mario mentioned check the permissions. Visual Composer is a tool with "Zero Programming", but you need data services resp. services for doing sth. in backend resp. the business logic. There are several services from the SAP available, but these services can not cover all your requirements.
In my case I wrote an ABAP RFC for displaying the master data. This service also enables to search for certain master data of an infoobject (you can search with * in texts) and language depended. I need this RFC for one of our products.
As I wrote in my first blog, the combination of ABAP RFCs (Java Webservices) and VC is a powerful tool to realize business application in a fast way. I think SAP is on a good way to eSOA.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Java Web service and dynamic entry list

Hello,
In my VC mode, I have a combo box with a dynamic entry list. This entry list call a web service function which the source is :
public EntryListBean[] getEntryList() {
          EntryListBean[] liste = new EntryListBean[2];
          liste[0] = new EntryListBean();
                liste[0].setText("1");
          liste[0].setValue("Liste 1");
          liste[1] = new EntryListBean();
                liste[2].setText("2");
          liste[1].setValue("Liste 2");
          return liste;
In output port, i have:
VALUE -
> @value
TEXT    -
> @text
When i test this function with 'Test Data Service', it work but when i deploy the model, there is nothing in the combo box. Do you have the same problem ?
I have installed NWDW v7.0 SP9 with Visual Composer patch 2.
Regards

Hi Francois,
Did u try using dynamic entry list with a BAPI. Is that working fine?
Actually, I faced the same problem. I used a drop-down list, in which dynamic entry list works fine in case of a BAPI and appears blank in case of a webservice. I applied the latest patch files mentioned in a SAP note. People in forum asked me to do that. Its mentioned in the note that, "Dynamic entry list with webservice bug is fixed in the released patch file". But even after applying the latest patch files, it did not work for me. So, i think this bug is yet to be fixed.

Kavitha.

Dynamic Entry List

Hi,
I want to use "dynamic entry list" to populate my drop down lists in VC screens. I need to do this through web services.
when i populate my drop down lists by using a BAPI, its working fine. Where as while using a web service system, its showing blank output. The web service when tested without mapping to drop-down list is showing output in VC.
Have any of you tried this before?Please post your experinece/ new ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Kavitha.

Hi Kavitha,
we are facing a similar problem with BI Queries.
If you use SP10 this note might help:
Note 1009081 - dynamic entry list does not work for BI Queries
It is a problem error in flex compiler introduced in NW04S SPS10, it works fine in SPS9 and before.

JDBC Dynamic Entry List

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a dynamic entry list based on JDBC stored procedure (SP).
While configuring the output parameters I don't see any of the output fields of the SP.
Any advice would be appreciated,
Aviad

Yes, you're right. This is because VC doesn't know the fields of the stored procedure until you test it, but it has to be done separately for each usage of the stored procedure, and you can't do it for entry lists.
There is a workaround for it though.
Wrap the store procedure with a service: create a service in the same DC (from the New Model dialog), drag the stored procedure to the service, test it and add the fields, and from the stored procedure drag data in and data out for all its ports. Then use that service in the entry list (when you define the entry list, choose "Visual Composer Models" in "search in").
Best regards,
Tal.

How to create Exchange dynamic distribution list using multivalue extension custom attribute

I am trying to create a dynamic distribution list using an ExtensionCustomAttribute. I am in hybrid mode with Exchange 2013. The syntax I have is this:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {(ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
This works correctly on-prem. But hosted always results in an empty list. I can see in dirsync the attribute is in the hosted environment, but for whatever reason, the distribution group gets created but always come up null.
If I create a group looking at the single valued attributes, such as CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y', it works correctly on-prem and hosted.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I don't think I provided enough information about the problem. Let me add some and see if it makes sense.
I have an Exchange 2013 on-premise configured in hybrid mode with Office365. For testing purposes, I have 2 users, Joe and Steve, one with the mailbox on-prem, and the other with the mailbox in the cloud. Each of them has CustomAttribute6 = 'Y'
and ExtensionCustomAttribute2 = 'NH'. Dirsync shows these users and these attributes are synced between on-prem and cloud.
Using on-prem Exchange powershell, I run the following command:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them as follows:
$DDG = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup DG_NH
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DDG.RecipientFilter | FT alias
So I then delete this DG, and recreate it this time looking at the multi-value attribute ExtensionCustomAttribute2, as follows:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
Replaying the query above, I can see this also works fine and finds my two users.
Next I open a new powershell and connect to Office 365 and repeat the process there.
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them.
And then delete the group and recreate it using the multi-value attribute:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
When I run the query this time it produces no result. Every test I try results in an empty group if I am using a multi-valued attribute in the search criteria in the cloud. If I use single valued attribute, it works fine.
I really need to be able to get multi-valued DDG's working in the cloud. If anyone has done this and has any suggestions, I would appreciate seeing what you did. And if this is the wrong forum to port this, if you can point me to a more suitable
forum I will report there.
Thanks,
Richard

How to create a dynamic entry list for an input field in VC(ce 7.1)

Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Santhosh,
You can define Dynamic entry list for Drop down list and combo box but not for input field.
[Refer this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/2a/28249060dd4dbc872f6266f4557364/frameset.htm] for defining entry list.

Visual Composer - dynamic entry list in a form

Hi everybody,
I have a question about Visual Composer (NW7.1).
My goal is it to create a dynamic form within VC iView. As data source I want to use (reads) values from a customizing table and displayed them in a drop down menu. After selecting a drop down value, all its elements shall be presented dynamic in a form. My question is if VC is supporting that technically or not. I have tried different approaches but it is not working.
Does anybody have some suggestions???
For example:
To show all customer data in a form, I set a reference in my customizing table that refers to my KNA1 table. If I want to show all suppliers data, I want to refer to my customizing with a reference to table LFA1. The form should display all the elements of KNA1 or LFA1. Is something like that technically possible?? HELP!
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Anja,
you understood me correct. However this was just an example.
1. Having some drop down list to select an entry.
--> in this drop down list there should be master data objects e.g. customers, suppliers, ...
2. Depending on the entry you like to display a form either filled with values of KNA1 table or LFA1 table.
--> If I choose customers all information should be displayed in the form. If I choose suppliers all supplier's information should be displayed in the form.
My task and my goal is it to use a customizing table in which I save SAP BI InfoObject. In my drop down menu I want to be able to select one of these object (e.g. customer master data). In the next step there should be a dynamic list for my form. That means if I change my object by selecting another drop down item - it will be automatically change the list entries from my new object
How can I do that?
Thank you so much.
Tom

How to dynamically get default value from a table column

Hi all,
Here's my problem: Our front end application sends insert and update queries to a pl/sql package. I've got a procedure that gets a PL/SQL table with all the column names an values, a table-name and a primary key name and value. That procedure creates an insert or update statement. So far, so good.
Now the problem: our front end doesn't know what the default value for a column is. So when a number field doesn't get a value in the front-end, it's inserted with a value '0' though is should ben NULL. My sollution for this is to know the default value of a column: when there's a default of '0', then the value that will be inserted is '0'. When there's no default value and the column can ben NULL, it'll be inserted as NULL. if the column has a not null constraint, a '0' will be inserted.
Ofcourse I can get the default value from the system-views all_tab_columns or user_tab_columns, but our application is installed at some 100 clients, and has various database installations. Most of the times, the tables are in the same schema as our procedure that performs the insert or update, but sometimes some of the tables are in another schema (in the same database) and also sometimes some tables are stored in another database. In all these situations, a synonym for that table exists in the schema.
Is there a api function or procedure that I can call to get the default value of a column? I looked at dbms_sql and dbms_metadata, but those packages don't give me that perticular information. if not, I'll stuck with the 'does table exists in schema' yes->use table, no query user_synonyms to look for the owner of the table (and database link) and query all_tab_columns to get the default value. Only this seems a bit overkill to me.
I hope I'm clear enough? And please don't reply with "don't do inserts this way"! I know, this is not the most optimal sollution, but it does gives us a couple of advantages in our application...

there is no way that I can think of, apart from what you have already discovered (i.e. views), where you can determine if a column has a defuault value defined against it.
The other option is triggers, but I guess doing that across 600 tables would not be an option, and besides I stay clear of triggers.
A different approach therefore, if you cannot pre-determine the data, is to consider a post problem handler, hence I suggested the use of an exception handler.
The exception handler works regardless of whether the statement is dynamic or not.
SQL> truncate table abc;
Table truncated.
SQL>
SQL> declare
2    NULLVAL exception;
3    pragma exception_init(NULLVAL, -01400);

9      execute immediate 'insert into abc (y) values (1)';
10
11      exception
12        when NULLVAL then
13          -- handle the error
14          execute immediate 'insert into abc (x,y) values (0,1)';
15
16    end;
17
18    commit;
19
20 end;
21 /
