Dynamic PHTMLB PopupMenu

Anyone have any idea why I can't get my popupmenu to work? I have two sets of data, one we'll call code groups and the other group items. I simply want the group items to be a submenu of their group. I can get exactly one group item to slide out, and it looks strange in a large font.
Anyone see something I don't?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the reply.
As you have said there are no background or MouseOver color for popupMenu. I am using a workaround for this by putting the popMenuItems in an html table and then changing the above said attributes for the individual cells. This works fine in normal menu but no effect when used with popupMenu. If you want I can send you the code but that will be possible tomorrow.

Hiding fields in phtmlb:formLayout (new thread)

Original Thread:
hiding fields in a bsp...
What Kevin is talking about, is some special development we did for HR eRecruitement. Well, let us turn it around. They helped us, and we returned the favour. And yes, this is actually some of the more interesting bits and pieces of BSP. (Fresh meat to discuss:).
Effectively, the <phtmlb:formLayout> has two functionalities. The first is a very easy way to layout a form. The second is a way via customization to dynamically have customers overwrite the visibility/required property of each field. So the SAP puts the maximum number of fields into the formlayout, and the customer can then via customization remove some, flag some as required, etc.
(If anybody should feel like writing a long weblog on this, I will provide technical detail, plus examples offline.)
The interesting database tables are these PHTMLB_FLI* ones. Part of the agreement was that the application itself provides for a UI to update the table. Also, the application itself controls which fields are changable.
If you really want to play, look at SBSPEXT_PHTMLB, the formLayout example. In the top part, there are also a serious of dropdown listboxes. What these do, is that they update the customization tables first, before the formlayout is rendered. So what you are seeing is actually the formlayout as it has been programmed, plus then the effects of a (customer) customization on it.
Also the example shows the effect of using an XML bee to dynamically add entries into the fieldLayout (if the application added these hooks).
brian

Hallo Thomas,
No, unfortunately we never build something to also customize the labels. They HR colleagues did not ask for this :).
I first started to write you here a loong text with answers. But then I got lazy, and searched my archive mailbox. Here below is the <b>draft</b> input that I wrote initially for the documentation. It describes everything pretty good. (But it is draft document, never proofread again, so read it lightly!)
bye, brian
<u><b>Why?</b></u>
Typically when an application is developed at SAP, the developer must make provision for all possible fields of information that must be displayed and/or queried from the user. However, in specific business cases, or depending on specific country laws, all fields might not be required. Also in some cases, fields in one scenario can be flagged required, versus in another they are only optional.
The typical starting point will be a complete formlayout done during the development. On top of this a customization layer is placed. The automatic reading and applying of the customization layer is automatically done by the phtmlb fL.
<b><u>What?</u></b>
For each field, a default behaviour is assumed. This is the behaviour that is defined by the developer during development time. For example, it could be specified that email address must be required. During the runtime it is now possible to overwrite the default behaviour with a customization entry for the field.
The following options are supported:
<b>As Defined:</b> The formLayoutItem in displayed as it has been defined during development.
<b>Invisible:</b> The formLayoutItem is not placed on the formLayout. It is immediately removed. All following items below it, will be moved up to fill its position.
<b>Hidden:</b> In this case, the formLayoutItem is placed on the formLayout, but not displayed. The item reserves its slot, and an empty slot will be displayed. However, after all items have been placed on the formLayout, a row "compression" is done, whereby all rows that contain only hidden elements are removed. Hidden is important for cases where columns next to one another must align. A typical example would be name & surname horizontally aligned. If now one item is invisible before this row, the two items will not be aligned anymore. With hidden, this alignment will be kept, and we still have the benefit of empty rows been removed.
<b>Required:</b> Sets the required flag for the item. Label of item will be rendered an indication that it is required (usually little red asterix after the label).
<b>Optional:</b> Can be used to customize a required field to be not required.
<b>Read Only:</b> Field value is only displayed.
<u><b>What is index?</b></u>
Customization is stored for a formLayout under the key that is build from the BSP application namespace, BSP application name, plus the page/view on which the formLayout is placed. It is assumed that there will only be one formLayout per view. A typical example would be:
SAP/SBSPEXT_PHTMLB/FORMLAYOUTSAMPLE.HTM
In addition, a customization key must be specified. Typical examples would be to say this is the default customization for USA, or for the specific branchen Losuegn. The customization key must be supplied with the <phtmlb:fL> tag, and only then will the customization data be read from the database.
<b><u>Tables</u></b>
For customization there are three interesting tables.
The first table PHTMLB_FLI is completed by the developer, and defines a list of all the formLayout items that can be customized. Only for those flItems which customization is possible, will entries be made in this table. The table contains three components:
<b>NS_APPL_PAGE</b> This is the unique key that identies the formLayout, consisting of namespace, application and page/view.
<b>FLI_ID</b> Id string of the specific formLayoutItem.
<b>COMPONENT</b> This is software component to which development applies, for example SAP_BASIS for all BSP development work done by us.
The second table PHTMLB_FLI_TEXT is just a language dependant text table that describes each item in the formLayout.
The tables PHTMLB_FLI and PHTMLB_FLI_TEXT are not using during the runtime. They are only of interest for design time. Note that NO tools are provided to make any entries in these tables. This is considered to be in the application domain, and will usually be part of the customization process of the application.
The third table PHTMLB_FLI_CUST is the only table that is read during the runtime. It is assumed that a customization tool has made the relevant entries for this table.
<b>NS_APPL_PAGE</b> see above
<b>VARIANT_KEY</b> This is the specific customization layer that is currently active. This string is equavalent to <pthmlb:fL customizationKey>. It is used to pull a specific customization.
<b>FLI_ID</b> see above
<b>MODIFIER</b> This is the new value to apply. For the possible values, see DDIC domain PHTMLB_FLI_MODIFIER.
For an example of customization, see BSP application SBSPEXT_PHTMLB, pages formLayout.htm. In this example, the customization can quickly be set via dropdown listboxes. On each request the PHTMLB_FLI_CUST is quickly updated and then the formLayout will find the set of new customization data to use.

How to add a table (dynamic created) into a model attribute

i have dynamically created an internal table. Generally i use model-binding in a stateful MVC-Application.
Is there a possibiltity to transfer the dynamic table to a model. As far as i know generic attributes are not allowed in the modell class.
Every hint welcome
thx in advance

By some miracle I do have this finally working. I will warn you up front that the code is not the cleanest (I have stuff copied in from all over the place. I probably have lots of unused variable references - but I am running out of time to clean it up further). Also I don't have all the logic to support all your different possible dynamic structure types. I always use SFLIGHT as my dyanmic structure. Therefore you will have to adapt the coding to lookup the actual structure type in use.
So I have a model that has an structure ITAB type ref to data. In my Model initialization I go ahead and dynamically redfine this to my specific type:
METHOD init.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM sflight INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF isflight.
DATA: struct_type TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
    tabletype TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr.
struct_type ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_name( 'SFLIGHT' ).
CREATE DATA me->itab TYPE HANDLE struct_type.
ENDMETHOD.
Then in my View I have the following:
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<%@extension name="phtmlb" prefix="phtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp" %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:page title=" " >
    <htmlb:form>
      <phtmlb:matrix width="100%" >
        <%
field-symbols: <wa> type any.
assign model->itab->* to <wa>.
* append initial line to <wa_itab> assigning <Wa>.
data: descriptor type ref to CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR.
descriptor ?= CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR=>describe_by_data( <wa> ).
data: flddescr type DDFIELDS.
flddescr = descriptor->GET_DDIC_FIELD_LIST( ).
field-symbols: <wa_field> like line of flddescr.
data: label type ref to cl_htmlb_label.
data: input type ref to CL_HTMLB_INPUTFIELD.
data: binding_string type string.
"Loop through each field in the structure Definition
loop at flddescr assigning <Wa_field>.
clear label.
clear input.
concatenate '//model/itab.'
<wa_field>-FIELDNAME
into binding_string.
label ?= cl_htmlb_label=>factory( _for = binding_string ).
input ?= cl_htmlb_inputfield=>factory( _value = binding_string ).
        %>
        <phtmlb:matrixCell row    = "+1"
                           vAlign = "TOP" />
        <bsp:bee bee="<%= label %>" />
        <phtmlb:matrixCell col    = "+1"
                           vAlign = "TOP" />
        <bsp:bee bee="<%= input %>" />
        <%
endloop.
        %>
      </phtmlb:matrix>
     <htmlb:button id="Test" onClick="Test" text="Submit"/>
    </htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>
The key to making this work are custom getter/setters. In your model class, you can copy from the template methods (Like GETM_S_XYZ for the metadata structure method). Copy them and remove the _ on the front of the name. Then change XYZ to the name of the attribute you are binding for. The following are my custom methods.

I know that is a LOT of nasty code without too much explanation. I'm afriad there isn't time right now to expand on how it works too much. Between my day job and trying to finish the BSP book, there just isn't much time left. Like I said before there is a very large section in the book on this topic that hopefully explains it. The book will be out in December or early January - but perhaps I will get some time before then to write up something on SDN about this.

Implementing a dynamic Scrollable JPopupMenu

Hi,
I wanna make a scrollable JPopupMenu. What I am looking for is I am making a custom popup Menu which extends JPopupMenu. I would be overriding the add method.
I dont want to add a list or a combo box to my JPopupMenu. I want to change the layout itself .. i.e. there is a function in the Container.class which gets called when we try to add a menuitem dynamically to the JPopupMenu
Function Name:
protected void addImpl(Component comp, Object constraints, int index)Snippet which i am looking in the function
if (layoutMgr instanceof LayoutManager2) {
((LayoutManager2)layoutMgr).addLayoutComponent(comp, constraints);
          }Is there a way while addiing menu items dynamically that I can set the layout to scrollable and hence the menuitems when added are in a scrollpane automatically.. Hence I what i get also is a Scrollable JPopupMenu

well, this is implementation of PopupMenu with scroll

          super.add(scroll);
     public void show(Component invoker, int x, int y) {
          this.pack();
          panelMenus.validate();
          int maxsize = scroll.getMaximumSize().height;

Unable to capture data in an editable dynamic ALV.

Hi ,
I have created a dynamic editable ALV whose displayed structure can be changed at runtime based on the selection in a drop down list value selector.
Im trying to capture the values entered in the ALV into an internal table before the user changes the structure of the ALV to a different structure.
In the ON_SELECT event handler of the drop down list box , im rasing a data_check event to capture the ALV data.
The problem is that the control is not entering the event handler for the data_check event.
If i raise the data_check event in my save event handler or any other event handler , it works fine.
Can someone please suggest a solution.
Regards,
Newton.

Hi ,
I have figured out that the problem is local to my machine , because the code works fine on other machines.
I guess my internet explorer has some bug.

Dynamic mandatory field error message is not getting displayed in webui

Hi,
In Appointment if the importance is HIGH i made Location as mandatory.For this i enhanced BT126H_APPT/ApptDetails. In the get_p_location() method of BTACTIVITYYH i have written the code.
Now the problem is Error message for this dynamic mandatory field is not getting displayed in webui.
I debugged in DO_FINISH_INPUT error message is getting generated but it is not getting displayed in ui.
Can anybody tell where the problem is?
Thanks,
Hari.

Hi Hari,
Really sorry do not know how to convert this nug file to text
How ever quick solution for your problem would be just keep your validation in 'DO_VALIDATE_INPUT' method of the view controller.
Means even if the User clicks on SAVE , Since it fails here , it would not allow you to go further.
Thanks,
Rajesh P

NULL and dynamic SQL

If table testrh2 has the following columns and data
col1 --> NULL
col2 --> 2
and table testrh has the following columsn and data
col1 --> NULL
How could I write a dynamic SQL statement to join on the nulls? I've written the following block as a starting point.
declare
cursor c1 is select col1 from isis.testrh;
lval varchar2(1000);
lval2 varchar2(1000);
begin
for r1 in c1 loop
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
execute immediate lval into lval2;
dbms_output.put_line(lval2);
end loop;
end;

You can't compare null values with '=' in Oracle SQL.
Null can only be compared with <column> is null .
You can see it when you try these two queries:
select * from dual where null is null; -- you will see one row
select * from dual where null=null; -- you will see no rowsThat's why you have to write something like
(<column1>=<column1> or (<column1> is null and <column2> is null))This should also work with null:
decode(<column1>,<column2>,1,0)=1By the way, why do you use dynamic sql?
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
I think you could replace your two lines ( lval:= ... AND execute immediate) by this:
begin
select col2
into lval
from isis.testrh2
where decode(col1,r1.col1,1,0)=1;
dbms_output.put_line('lval='||lval);
exception
when no_data_found then
dbms_output.put_line('no data found'); -- or whatever you want

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

Dynamically set template for Print Quote report

We need to customize "Print Quote" in Quoting
As part of this we will be having 2 custom templates (will be related to data definition "Quote Printing", ASOPRT).
These two templates have to be defaulted based on the quote status - one for status "Approved", and the other template for other non "Approved" statuses.
How can this be achieved dynamically? (OAF CO customization / personilization)
There doesn't seem to be any setup for assigning different templates based on status.
Profile option "ASO: Default Layout Template" can be utilized to change the default template, but we need this template to be defaulted dynamically based on the Quote status.
Thanks,
Sumanth

How to rename C00n generic column names in a Dynamic SQL report

I have a an interface whereby the user can select 1 to 60 (upper limit) columns out of 90 possible columns (using a shuttle) from one table before running a report.
To construct the SQL that will eventually execute, I'm using a "PLSQL function body returning SQL query" with dynamic SQL. The only problem is that I have to use "Generic Column Names" option to be able to compile the code and end up with c001 to c060 as the column names.
How can I use the names of the selected columns as the report headings rather than c001, C002... etc?
I do not know beforehand which columns, or how many columns or the order of the selected columns.
I know Denes K has a demo called Pick Columns but I can't access his code. I have a hunch though that he may be just using conditions to hide/show the apropriate columns.
thanks in advance
PaulP

Hi Paul
I would change the Heading Type in the Report Details screen to PLSQL and use the shuttle item to return the column values. e.g.
RETURN :p1_shuttle;
I'm assuming the shuttle already has a colon separated list of the column headings in the correct order?
I hope that helps

Inserting Dynamic Images in to a Crystal Report 10

Hi all,
I am trying to insert dynamic pictures into my report from repository, by getting the path for the picture from database fields. The version that I am using is Crystal Reports 10.
Here is what I have done.
I inserted an OLE object into the report, went to "Format Graphics" by right clicking on the OLE object, then to "Hyperlink" Tab (as I didn't see anything other than "Reset" button and picture dimension options under the "Picture" tab), and selected "File" Radio button (as I didn't want to display the picture as Hyperlink) and gave the @Filepath as the formula there. @Filepath is the formula that gives me the complete path for the JPEG that I need to insert in the report.
filepath = field A + field B
where field A is the location for the image and field B is the actual image name.
the actual image is located in repository folder.
I am not able to see the image in the report "Preview" section as it is showing it has an empty box and when I click on that empty OLE object, I am able to view the image in a separate window where as my requirement is to view the image within the report (not in a separate window).
I didn't find anything useful under Format Graphics -> Picture tab.
I appreciate any kind of help from you all.
Thanks!

That feature wasn't available nor was it supported in CR 10. You'll have to upgrade to CR Xi R2 or 2008 to allow using a database field as the location of the file.
CR 10 would only load the picture when the report is opened, it will never update when clicking on the refresh button.

How can I insert data in different table dynamically?

I have one requirement ,In these I have transaction table in which payLoad contain data like employee record,PO record,SO record in XML format.Now I have transfer the data from transaction table to particular table(Emp,SO,PO) dynamical ? how can I do it.. Give me your suggestion guys?? Thanks in Advance

Hello,
Still no luck.I am surely doing silly mistakes.Anyway,Here are my workings-
1> student_mst (id(pk),studentname) and student_guard_mst(id(fk),guardianname)
2> created EO from both of the tables,made id in both EO as DBSequence and an association was also generated.
3> i made that association composite by clicking the checkbox
4> i created 2 VO from 2 EO.
5> put those VO in Application Module.
6> dragged and dropped 2 VO on my jspx page and dropped them as ADF Form.
Now what to do please?

How to use one dynamic connection managers for multiple parallel data flow tasks

hi there:
I have 6 databases residing on the same server. What I want to do is call a store procedure with identical name on each database dbo schema and transport results to a centralized place. The key is to have those SPs run in parallel instead
of in sequence as each SP may take around 10 mins to finish.
The simplest way is to create 6 OLE DB connection managers and create 6 DFT tasks. However, I do not want to maintain 6 OLE DB connection managers as there is a chance to have more connection managers.
What I did so far is to create a OLD DB connection manager and use expression to set up connectionString properties so that it will get populated by variables at run time. It is fine when running all SPs in a Foreach Loop Container. However, it takes
around 60 mins to finish.
When I try to run it in parallel ( basically created 6 DFTs but use only one Dynamic Connection Manager), the connection string gets confused therefore all DFT tasks failed.
Does anyone here have some experience on this topic?
Thanks
hui

Yes, basically, on the connectionString property of ONE OLEDB, you are using an expression to supply value and this expression is pointing to a variable.
In this case , you can update this variable from a table which contains many connection strings. It's good if you want to execute Store procedures in a sequential order. When in parallel mode, this will cause issues as connectionString gets overwritten.
I am thinking about using script task to exec sp.
The whole idea is that I do not want to maintain a large number of Connection Managers.
Hope it helps
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --
So you are not able to run parallel executions using same conn mgmr, even with dynamic connectionstring, is that correct? Yes, script task will be a way to go if you wish to execute it in parallel, you may connect to SS and query the proper conn string with
SELECT/WHERE clause in each script > pass it to a script variable > use that script variable and execute the proc. This will require only two things to change in each script, the WHERE condition to get the conn string and the proc name (you may even
get the proc names the same way you get conn string) and everything else will be same. Let us know how that goes.
Hope no two or more procs doing insert/update/delete on the same tables.

Creating dynamic value range, one week at a time

Every Monday, I query a table to get data for the past week, every Monday (last Monday) to Sunday. I do some calculations with the data and insert the data and dates into a table.
I then use cfchart to create a graph using this data. The drilldown uses the same weekly date range to produce a report. So the record count for the chart and the report should be the same.
What I just discovered is that more data can be added to the query table after I have already obtained the data. Since the data for the chart is already in the table, it is static. But the report is dynamice since it uses the weekly date range everytime the drilldown is selected. This causes the count of the report to be different than the count of the chart.
Instead of gathering data every Monday and inserting into a table, for the chart, how can I make the chart data dynamic ?
I need to plot a rolling 12 weeks worth of data, always from Monday to Sunday, inclusive. So if I decide to run the chart on a Wednesday, how would I gather the twelve weeks worth of data, always from Monday to Sunday ? I need to make this dynamc.
The reports always work because the drilldown is pasing it the dates, thats why the count is always correct. But I do not know how to do this with the chart, which needs to be dynamic also, since static will not work.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Trojfn,
For gathering the data and inserting the same in to a table, why can't you use the scheduled tasks?.

SSRS - Expression to color column value dynamically in Matrix

Hi ,
I have a matrix which looks like :
The <<Expr>> value can be 1 /0 /"-" .
The Expr value is being calculated dynamically.
The data set query I am using has a column called due_days.
In the color expression of the <<Exp>> box I am using the expression as :
=IIf(Fields!Due_Days.Value>14 and Fields!Notes_Count.Value>0,"Blue",(Iif(Sum(Fields!Notes_Count.Value)=0 ,"Red","Black")))
My requirement is if the Due_Days column value is >14 then I need to highlight the value as blue else black and if value is 0 then red. When I use the above query it is just highlighting the color blue for 1st column only. Eg: 4th row . Due days for month
of Oct and Nov is > 14 but it shows blue only for month of oct.
How can i resolve the issue?

In select query i have 5 columns:
Due days(Which is difference between 2 dates) ,
Notes count (Which is just a count of notes entered or not having value 0/1 and value '-' if another column CRD is greater than the matrix month and year.)Eg: below date 11/12/2014 is greater than Oct 2014 hence Oct 2014 should have "-"
Month Name , Year , Month Nbr (last 6 months which I cross joined with the table to get counts for each month)
The matrix has year and last 6 month as column groups
Color coding should be if notes count is 0 then red ,if notes count is 1 and due_days> 14 then blue else black . When i try to use expression for color as i mentioned above, it colors only 1st colum.eg: 2nd row
Nov 2014 is blue but for jan 2014 also it should show blue as due days>14 .
Is there any way i can do that ??
Eg: data set returns value as :
Due Days        CRD                              Month
Month_Nbr    Year   Notes _Count

Matrix is of the form :
