Hi Fakher,
I hada look at your problem the other day when you first raised the issue. I investigated it for nearly an hour but put it aside then because I got really more and more angry with it.
So, I can't give you any hint but nevertheless decided to drop a short note. I fully agree with your remarks.
I believe that though SAP in the high ranks rightfully embarked for the right vision towards the SOA paradigm, those who design actual Enterprise Services do it kind of an old-fashioned EAI-way. Maybe the interprete 'Enterprise' in ESOA as 'Intra-Enterprise only'.
What I came across was a paragraph in the ECC_SALESORDERCRTRC (what should a non-SAP service consumer think of that service reading that name? will he/she ever be able to memorize that?) which stated something like
Following parameters MUST NOT be supplied any value
followed by a list of input parameters of the service. What are such parameters good for??
The other day I came across another Enterprise Service which contained a number of completely cryptic parameters. After some searching I learnt that this were (patented) global data types which you could only understand if you got hold of some several pages long word documents which were at the time only available SAP internally although the services have long been published then. I think they're still kept secret, atl east I have never seen one or seen a reference to it.
Did you notice that the description of ECC_SALESORDERCRTRC says that it is deprecated and another service should be used instead but it doesn't tell which one?
I could continue ranting another few hours on this topic but as I found out no one of SAP joins a discussion on this.
So I can only conclude that Enterprise Services are not meant to be used by any third party service consumer, at least at the moment..
One last thing. Have you ever seen an enumeration in an Enterprise Service's WSDL? For a long time I thought they have just forgotten to implement it in their current SOAP runtime implementation. I mean, they have a great DDIC, domain values and stuff, they have an inside-out webservice generation wizard but they do not create XSD enumeration restrictions? Why? could it be that they do that on purpose? To make it as difficult as possible for a non-SAP service consumer to understand theservice and auto-generate useful proxies? I wish I would know.
Concerning the ticket stuff (aka bug reporting tool): Ironically as a third-party service consumer you can't file a CSN ticket no matter how broken the service is. You have to find a SAP customer to file it for you (probably the one whose actual service you want to consume). If you've found bug reporting proxy customer he'll know how to open a ticket.
sorry that I couldn't be of any help with your problem.
kind regards, anton

Lean Order Functionality - Sales Order Create

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone please confirm Service ECC_SalesOrderCrtRC1 or ECC_SALESORDERERPCRTRC2 creates a sales order through Lean Order Functionality.
My requirement was like sales order should be created through Lean Order Functionality. We are in the Dilemma whether to use the web service or use Some other FM like SLS_LORD_MAINTAIN.
Thanks in Advance

I guess the error " Aggregate and lookup functions cannot be used in query parameter expressions." is because I am using CountRow to ensure that if all values of multi select all selected i will not use that filter in where clause.
Pls. guide...

Hi, Include your parameter total count in the dataset for parameter and instead of using countrows() function use the count from dataset in the expression.
Hope this helps.........

Aggregate functions cannot be used in group expressions

Hi have report showing sales by Vendor. I need to list all the vendors with Monthly Total>5000 and combine the rest as "OTHER VENDORS"
Vendor is a Group in my report, so I tried to put an expression as a Group on:
=IIF(Sum(Fields!Mth_1_Sales.Value)>5000,Fields!Vendor_No.Value,"OTHER VENDORS")
I've got an error: "aggregate functions cannot be used in group expressions"
How do I get Vendors with Sales < 5000 into "OTHER VENDORS" ?

Hi,
You need to group by Month on group expression,
And you can use the same expression in the report column as
=IIF(Sum(Fields!Mth_1_Sales.Value)>5000,Fields!Vendor_No.Value,"OTHER VENDORS")
Many Thanks

Bapi_po_create1 Order unit cannot be used

Hello everyone,
I'm using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create a purchase order, but it's giving me the following error:
"Order unit MGW cannot be used", i'm using a material with the unit MGW defined in MM02.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Fábio Galvã

Thanks for all the replies,
I've given points to all the helpfull replies.
I've managed to create the PO with the unit I wanted, MGW, butt it only placed the unit in 'Order Price Unit (Purchasing)' and placed UN on 'Purchase Order Unit of Measure'. My requirement is to create a PO with MGW on both fields.
Is there any other field I need to fill so that the BAPI creates a PO like I need?
Thank you,
Fábio Galvã

Order unit cannot be used

Hi Gurus,
Our requirement is to used the order unit.. we have previous purchase order using the base unit of material and then i update the material indicating required order unit. When we create the Purchase Order some material did not hook the order unit for example base unit= EA(each) and order unit=REA(ream) in the PO EA reflect instead of REA
and i want the order unit will be in the purchase order i try to change but the message pop-up "Order unit REA cannot be used"
what will i do? I'm confuse why other material it's ok in order unit and some why did catch the order unit?
hoping to your possible solution..
Thanks,
Marina

Hi Velu,
here the informartion regarding the message:
Order unit REA cannot be used
Message no. ME898
Diagnosis
Unit REA is not intented as an order unit.
System Response
The system checks whether the order unit you entered is allowed for this purchase order by comparing the order unit you entered with the order unit that the system determined.
The system checks the potential sources of the order unit in the given sequence. If a source is not available (if the purchase order is not referenced to a preceding document, for example) then the system checks the next possible source (such as a purchase requisition):
1. If you create a purchase order with reference to a preceding document (purchase order, contract or request for quotation), the system copies the order unit from the preceding document.
The Var. OUn (Variable order unit) indicator must not be selected in the purchasing info record.
2. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and the Var. OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchase requisition.
In the Enjoy purchase requisition (ME51N), you can maintain the order unit on the item detail screen on the Source of supply tab. In the normal purchase requisition (ME51), you can maintain the order unit on the item details screen.
3. When the purchasing info record for the combination of vendor and material exists, the system copies the order unit from the purchasing info record.
4. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and the Var. OUn is not selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchase requisition.
5. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and there is no existing purchase info record for the combination of vendor and material, then the system copies the unit of measure from the purchase requisition item in the item overview.
6. If you create a normal purchase order, the system copies the order unit from the material master.
7. When you create a stock transport order, the system copies the unit of measure from the material master.
8. If the order unit and the unit of measure were not defined in the material master, the system copies the material's base unit of measure.
9. If you create a service item, the system copies the default unit of measure.
You can define the default unit of measure in Customizing for External Services Management under Source Determination and Default Values -> for Client.
Note
If the Var. OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record or in the material master (if no purchasing info records exist), it means that the system can use any unit of measure that has been defined in the material master.
Procedure
1. Check the relevant documents and master records (contract or purchasing info records).
2. Select the Var. OUn in the purchasing info record or in the material master, if necessary.
thanks,
Marina

Legal controll error is sales order - license cannot be used

Hi Team,
The sales order has Legal Control: Issue Error, due to this we are unable to deliver the goods. the below message found in the Log details:
Access object: License Master
Key (license nubmer): xxxxx
Validity period not long enough
Requested delivery date for item: 02/20/2012
End of validity period of license: 1231/2011
License cannot be used
The license has the period Valid From 01-01-2011 To 31-12-2011, can this be modified? please advise.
we tried to extend the validity of license but it is not allowing. can anyone give some inputs on this error.
Thanks,
Rajam

Hi Abir,
In my situation, the sales order already creted in Dec 2011 and has delivery dates in Jan 2012. And the SO has GTS error and unable create delivery, business user releasing the SO manually by going to VX22N for emergency deliveries. but we need permanent solution.
the license is created under License type NLR (no license required). i dont think, user will accept for creating a new license for this as it is using for couple of years. we are trying to extend the validity of license by going to VX02N but valid From and To fields are greyed out. we also checked the Accepted and Extended fields in Status Tab by giving the future dates but Valid From and To dates are not changed.
Please advise...
Thanks in advance.

Types of functions cannot used in PL/SQL

I'm trying to find out information on what types of functions cannot be used in PL/SQL. Can someone provide me with some directions and assistance?
Thanks a lot.
Tony

its really depends upon your implementation way..
if u are callinga pl/sql from a trigger, then you can't use any DDL or DML effecting on the same table.
If u are calling a function then it must return only one value, it should not written more than one value.

Lean order API+ menu option - Extras / Output / Header / Edit

all,
Attempting to configure the lean order sales screens for use in NWBC. I am unable to find out how to customize to include the menu option for header output that exists in the standard gui screens (Va02/03).
I need to be able to allow the users to see this header output in the lean order screens.
has anyone configured those screens and come across this option?
Thank you in advance
steven

Hi jamison,
please check output determination and you need to maintain condition records(like with sales organization and condtion type etc)of output type via tcode NACR. while saving the sales order it will condition records and populate output types automatically.

RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: The function module "DD_DTEL_GET" cannot be used.

Hi there,
I´m trying to launch NWCE 7.1 Webdynpro applications accessing ABAP function with no success.
The landscape consists of an SAP NWCE 7.1 EHP1 (Trial) and an SAP NW 2004s ABAP (Licensed). NW2004s is configured as Gateway and Message Server for the SLD. I can ping/test JCOs successfully and the SLD seems to work fine. RZ70 and SM59 show no errors in the "R3" side and both systems seem to be well-registered as Technical Systems.
I have done some simple examples in Developer Studio to ensure that the conection between both stacks is going well, but I have allways the same issue regardless using ARFC/ARFC2, new projects/old existing projects, etc.
When I test for first time the application, the following exception is thrown:
Caused by: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: The function module "DD_DTEL_GET" cannot be used for 'remote' calls.

Then, editing the application in Dev. Studio, if I delete tables and/or single fields binded to model context, the last exception doesn´t appear any more but the application enter in the catch section executing the BAPI call:
 try
 wdContext.currentBapi_Flight_Getlist_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
 catch(Exception ex)
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Execute error."+ex.toString()+ex.getMessage());
 StackTraceElement errores[] = ex.getStackTrace();
 String errorSTR = new String();
 for (int i = 0; i < errores.length; i++){
 errorSTR += errores.toString() + "
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(errorSTR);
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("After catch.");
 // Resynchronise the data in the context with the data in the model
 wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
The first two exception seem to be related each other, and it is true that FM "DD_DTEL_GET" is not RFC enabled in R3. Should it be RFC enabled?
As far as I know, one of the JCO conectors is used for retrieving metadata, that is, data related to types, lenghts, etc. The FM "DD_DTEL_GET" is used for that kind of operations and the second exception is related to that aswell (com.sap.mdi.ddtypes.DDDataelement.getDescription).
I don´t know what else should I test in order to launch an RFC function from WDJ and the trial version is about to expire!
Does anyone know about any oss note or any other tips related to this issue, please?
I am going to test the conectivity via Visual Composer and see whether it´s possible :S
Let me know if you need anymore info about the situation.
Thanks a lot!

Hi again,
The issue hasn´t been solved yet :(.
After applying Note 1244067 the function module has the RFC flag checked but the Null Pointer exception are still there.

Ordering MDX query wih Named set gives error, "The CURRENT function cannot be invoked in this context ".

Hi,
I have following Query
WITH SET [Union name set test] AS {[Union].[Union Name].&[2],[Union].[Union Name].&[3],
[Union].[Union Name].&[4],[Union].[Union Name].&[5],[Union].[Union Name].&[6]}
SELECT {[Measures].[Emp Count]} ON 0,
{ORDER({[Union].[Union City].[Union City]*[Union name set test]},
[Union name set test].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBERVALUE, BASC)} ON 1 FROM [Federations];
when i run this query from code as well as SSMS i get following error...
The CURRENT function cannot be invoked in this context because the 'Union name set test' set is not in the scope.
Please help me for this ....

Hi Mihirhp,
Base on my research, there are some similar issues and the resault turn out that the Tabular model engine can’t associate .currentmember with a set. The workaround is to use .current in the MDX query. Please try the query below.
WITH SET [Union name set test] AS {[Union].[Union Name].&[2],[Union].[Union Name].&[3],
[Union].[Union Name].&[4],[Union].[Union Name].&[5],[Union].[Union Name].&[6]}
SELECT {[Measures].[Emp Count]} ON 0,
{ORDER({[Union].[Union City].[Union City]*[Union name set test]},
[Union name set test].CURRENT.MEMBERVALUE, BASC)} ON 1 FROM [Federations];
Hope this helps.

How do I resolve itunes error message " ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started"?

After I had Best Buy restore my ipod to factory settings, went to itunes from computer to restore my music. Getting the error message " Ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started". Ipod is connected to Wi-Fi, connecting to itunes o.k. on ipod

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

"This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed"

Greetings,
I have a problem with my newly purchased iPhone 3G - iTunes will not recognize it, stating that "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed". Uninstall and reinstall iTunes, it says. I've done that several times, following the instructions for removal here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Not working. The iPhone is recognized in Windows, and both the Apple Mobile Device and iPod services are running. I'm running out of options here - I managed to activate the iPhone on another computer, but I need to sync it with my own computer to make it usable.
I am running 32-bit Vista SP1 (fully updated) on a Travelmate 8200 laptop. iTunes version is the latest, obtained from Apple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, my hair is turning gray over this.

If it were me, I'd make sure to uninstall all 4 of those services mentioned in that link you provided. Then make sure you've downloaded the iTunes package from this link http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Make sure you install, and keep installed, everything in that package. In other words don't uninstall anything that the package installs. I don't know this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure that at the very least your system will need both iTunes (most recent version) and QuickTime in order for the new 3G phone to function properly. If you download from the link provided above, you should get the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime. Hope this helps.
Wooops, . If your location requires you to download from another link, then by all means go to it. I just noticed that you're from Sweeden.
