Extract Custom Fields to BW

Hello SDN,
we have exteded the Opportunity through Transaction EEWB with Custom Fields. There are stored in the DB Table CRMD_CUSTOMER_H. Now we have the requirement to use this custom fields in our Business Warehouse. Can somebody tell me how we extend the Extractors? I think the BW Extractor is 0CRM_OPPT_H.
Regards
Gregor

Gregor,
You will need to use the BADI, CRM_BWA_MFLOW to populate the datasource. You will then need to enhance the actual data source structure with your new fields.
You will need to configure the data source to "use" the fields on the structure via RSA6.
The following code shows some of the coding examples for using the BADI. However SAP provides a sample implementation that you can use to get started(*which I did *)
* define Structures.
DATA:
*      Define internal table for the extract structure.
*      The type of the Structure is visible in transaction RSA6.
*      Also the enhancement of the extract structure will be done
*      with transaction rsa6.
data:
    LT_DATA TYPE TABLE OF CRMT_BW_COMPLAINTS_I,
    WA_DATA LIKE LINE OF LT_DATA .
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <ls_data> LIKE LINE OF lt_data.
CASE I_DATASOURCE.
    WHEN '0CRM_COMPLAINTS_I'.
      LT_DATA[] = CT_DATA[].
      REFRESH CT_DATA.
      LOOP at LT_DATA ASSIGNING <ls_data>.
* change the data you need here
* endchange
       move-corresponding ls_customer_h_wrk to <ls_data>.
      ENDLOOP.
      CT_DATA = LT_DATA[].
    when others.
endcase.
Now on BW you have to perform some additional work, which I did not perform here. If someone else has the BW configuration steps, they can post this and we should have a fairly complete solution.
Good luck,
Stephen

Steps for extraction of Custom Fields from the SRM 5.0 to the SAP BI system

Hi Experts,
I am new to the SAP BI. I was asked to publish all the custom fields from table (BBP_PDISC) of the SRM system to the BI System.
Please provide some guidiance (or) provide me with step-by-step procedure for doing the same.
There are around 14 fields in this table and i need to move them to the BI system and later inlcude them in reports.
Let me know if this information is sufficient.
Thanks in advance.

Extracting MS Project Custom Field Lookup "Description" data

I'm using MS Project 2010 Professional and
I have created a Custom Field which is called "Responsible Person" which is linked to Text2 field
On it Under Custom Attributes> Lookup I have Under "Value" column ---->Responsible Person Names and Under "Description" Column ----> I have entered email addresses for each person.
For each project tasks , under Text2 I have selected from the dropdown the Responsible person Name ( which is the Value Column)
My Question is there a way to read using VBA, the Lookup "Description" column data which i have entered as email address.
If some one have done it in MS Project 2010 using VBA please guide me how to do this.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I have never done before for a text field. But the following works for OutlineCodes, I renamed OutlineCode2 a "xx". Perhaps you can also use an Outlinecode? Or can use this a basis to get it work with text fields.
Sub ReadDescription()
Dim oc As OutlineCode
Dim lt As LookupTable
Dim lte As LookupTableEntry
Dim tsk As Task
Set oc = ActiveProject.OutlineCodes("xx")
Set lt = oc.LookupTable
For Each tsk In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not tsk Is Nothing Then
For i = 1 To lt.Count
Set lte = lt.Item(i)
If lte.Name = tsk.GetField(Application.FieldNameToFieldConstant("xx", pjTask)) Then
tsk.Text30 = lte.Description
End If
Next
End If
Next
End Sub
Hope that helps!

Delta load not picking the changes to Custom Fields in 0CRM_QUOTA_ORDER_I

We have enhanced the structure of CRM datasource 0CRM_QUOTA_ORDER_I for some additional fields that are held on the quotation. These are being successfully extracted when the quotation is being created. We have been running with this exctract for some time but we have been made aware that the additional fields on the append structure are not being updated when the quotation is being changed. Therefore delta changes are not being picked up making the reports incorrect.
The user exit we are using to extract the information is EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001
Does anyone know how we can enable this change so that delta changes are picked up by the extractor.
Many thanks
Gareth

Hi Gareth,
Can you please check that the custom fields were added as described in question 4 in the SAP note
692195? If yes and there is still a problem please check that the SAP note 1319891 has been applied
in your system, it is a pilot note so you will need to raise a message with SAP to get added to the pilot
note.

0CO_OM_OPA_6: Custom fields added, Data - available in RSA3, but not in PSA

Hi Friends,
I have added some custom fields to the 0CO_OM_OPA_6 data source. Following are the details.
1) Custom fields: ZZEBELN (Purchasing Doc), ZZUSNAM (Username)
2) Code populated in SE19 (BADI for this Datasource)
3) RSA3: Test extraction pulls the records for both the custom fields correctly.
4) RSA5, and RSA6 - Fields are unchecked for hidden and field only. They are made available.
5) Extract Structure replicated into BW and its pulled over from extract structure into Transfer structure.
6) Mapped to corresponding fields in BW update rule and transfer rules. (No routines or formulas exist)/
7) When load extracted into BW, data is blank for both the fields in PSA itself.
Our BW is 7.3 but we still use this datasource as 3.x transfer rules and datasource. In BW, it is connected to the Cube 0OPA_C11 via update rules and 3.x transfer rules only.
Is there any reason for the data being populated into the RSA3, where as not into PSA. Please consider the above points, and let me know if I have done or missing anything here in my steps. I have gone thru several forums and havent got any specific replies for such issues. Have you come across such issues, please share your thoughts and views.
Any of your replies will definitely help. Really appreciate your inputs.
Thanks!!
Prasith

Hi Prasith ,
After reading all the answers , what i feel we are missing a major step ie Re-initialization of the cube .
As you changed the extract structure and added new fields and for this Data source i assume that deltas were running already , the BW system cannot pull these new fields directly from ECC unless you have not done a re-INit again .
The Re-init is pretty simple and not as complex as LO.
I would advise you to re-init for 01.2014 till 016.9999 , run full load and then delatas will flow in later on . Check during the full load if you are able to see these fields in BW in (PSA/ Cube) .
But be careful you need to do Re-init only on week ends when there are no transactions happening else you might end up in duplicate data .
Hope this helps !
Let me know how it goes .

SRM 7 - How to make a custom field dynamically retrieved trigger a refresh?

Hi all,
we're working on a brand new installation of SRM 7.
For contracts and purchase order, we created an enhancement on the webdynpro that manages header document data; in such view, custom fields are obtained dynamically and populate a Transparent container; by code, some tray group visually all the custom fields related to a specific section.
Now, the task is quite general; some of these "dynamically retrieved" fields should refresh, when populated, the view.
That is to say, in our context, that some custom field should automatically trigger the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method (which has been extended via overriding with an enhancement) when a value is inserted.
This would be a simple task if the field is explictly visible in the layout screen, since I could easily associate an event to the field itself.
But, since these custom field are automatically extracted in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method, we don't know how to manage these field's behavior, e.g. after an input value has been inserted.
Each dynamic custom field is a type ref to cl_wd_uielement; we wonder if we have a way to associate an event (e.g., onEnter) to such an element.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help you will give us
EDIT: I guess this could not be the best section for such a kind of question ... I'd gently ask moderators eventually to move the thread to the Webdynpro section, if necessary. Thanks in advance.

Closed. I opened a thread on this topic in a more convenient section of SDN forums (Specifically, web dynpro abap). Thanks anyway:)

Adding custom fields to Embedded Search

Hi All,
I have read the post [here|How to add custom fields to Embedded Search; about adding custom fields to Embedded Search. I am looking to add Employee Subgroup for use in Talent Management (specifically the STVN SuccessionPlanning component) and wanted to know if anyone can expand on the instructions in the link to add this field.
It appears to be part of the HRTMC_PERSON search object connector already and while I've done some IMG configuration the field is showing in SuccessionPlanning, but not displaying any data.
Additionally, I'd be interested in any tips to add information that is not from PA0002 should it be required in the future.
Many thanks,
Luke

Hi Luke,
I am assuming here that your search request fields are based on HRTCM_CENTRALPERSON search template. To enable your search to work on employee subgroup please do the following
1) Check if the HRTMC_PERSON Template extracts the data from Infotype 0001 via SPRO node 'Define Search Models and Change Pointer' Extraction Class is 'CL_HRTMC_SEARCH_READ_PA_INFTY'.
2) Via ESH_COCKPIT, goto Template Modeler and select your custom Software Component and press Edit. Goto roadmap step 5 - Define Requests - where all search request fields are defined. Its using these fields Talent search works.
3) Select the search request e.g. 'SAP_TALENT_NAKISA', it would then show list searchable attributes in below table. Using 'Add' button select path for PERSK so that it can searched.
It would look like this once selected
OBJID(REL_CP_P)->HRTMC_REL_CP_P_209.REL_CP_P(REL_CP)->HRTMC_PERSON.OBJID->HRTMC_PERSON.ORG_ASSIGNMENT
4) In step SPRO 'Define Search Requests and Search Field Names' , define Employee subgroup field with AliasSearchField = PERSK since thats what is defined in roadmap step 5.
Hope it helps!

User exit/BADI required for coding for the selection custom fields in RSA3

Hi,
I have a requirement in the Datasource extractor. I need to add custom Z fields in the Data souce of the 2LIS_02_SCL and need to include in the selection part. So I have added the custom filed in the append structure and include the check in the selection checkbox in the transaction LBWE under the datasource specified above. For the corresponding custom fields, to be populated in the ALV list, I have written the code in corresponding user exit ZXRSAU01.
Now I can view my custom Z fields in the list as well as on the selection fileds while executing the transaction RSA3. But I need to write code for the selection criteria part. On entering value in the selection criteria of my custom z field, no values are selected to the corresponding query. Please let me know where should i write the coding part for the selection criteria of the Z fields for the Datasource.
On debugging, to my understanding only the standard fields are alone getting filtered by providnig the values in the selection part of the RSA3 tcode. It is called in Macros : Sel < Datasorce> .... and the fetch cursor is included inside the macros.
Please let me know any user exits or Badi;s available for it.
Thanks in advance

Hi shivu,
you might try the BAdI RSU5_SAPI_BADI. A good introduction can be found in the following document:
[Enhancing DataSources with BAdI RSU5_SAPI_BADI|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/3001894b-b1fb-2910-77ba-e80b6f2053b7]
The BAdI is called at the time of extraction, so this would be the right place to populate your additional fields.
Best,
Chris

How to make added custom field Delta mechanism work for LO Cookpit?

We appended a new custome field into extraction structure of the LO Cookpit datasource 2LIS_02_ITM through RSA6. And then run CMOD to write the exit code to populate the value and it works fine. But after we read Roberto's Weblog:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it , find the enhancement we did can't make the Delta mechanism works if only this new field gets changed in a record, and the change cannot be reflected on BW.
In order to make the Delta mechansim works, one option is to append the custom field into one of the LIS Communication Structure MCEKKO of 2LIS_02_ITM extraction structure and then write the enhancement code to this LIS Communication Structure. In this way, the custom field can be treated like standard field that whenever it gets changed, the Delta mechanism or the user exit will be triggered. The enhancement for this LIS Communication Struture is LEINS001.
Now we've got two problems when doing the above enhancements of the LIS Communication structure:
1. Maintain extraction structure problem in LBWE:
We added a custom field, e.g., called ZZZ in LIS Communication structure MCEKKO (Purchasing Document Header) by creating a new custom append structure and add the field ZZZ into it, then activate the new append structure, but get warning msg like "Field name DUMMY is reserved (Do not use structure as include in DB table)".
We do find a field called DUMMY in the structure MCEKKO. How to get rid of the warning msg and successfully activate the new custom append structure with the new field ZZZ?
You could say that we can ignore the warning msg, but why the new custom field appended can not be seen from the right side pool of the Maintain Extract Structure in LBWE? We need to make the new custom field shows up in the right side pool and then drag it over to the left side frame and to activate the extraction structure to change it. But now it doesn't show up in the right frame pool!
2. Refer to Sanyam's weblog
/people/sanyam.kapur/blog/2005/04/30/custom-fields-and-bw-extractors-making-a-mixed-marriage-work-part-ii, there is a sample code inside this article which tells us how the sample code looks like to write this LIS Communicaton structure enhancement to make the Delta mechanism works, below is the code we modified to suit our needs, but don't know if it would work?
DATA: i_t_ekko LIKE ekko   OCCURS 1 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: ebeln LIKE ekpo-ebeln,
      it_ekko TYPE TABLE OF ekko WITH HEADER LINE,
      old_val(50) TYPE c. "For storing the value from the Field Symbol
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY TABLE.
CASE zeitp.
WHEN 'MA'.                            "When creating a purchase order
    MOVE '(SAPLEINS)T_EKKO[]' TO old_val.
    ASSIGN (old_val) TO <fs>.
    i_t_ekko[] = <fs>.
    LOOP AT xmcekko.
      ebeln = xmcekko-ebeln.
      IF xmcekko-supkz = '1'.            "Old Value ?
        SELECT SINGLE * FROM ekko INTO it_ekko WHERE ebeln = ebeln.
        xmcekko-ZZZ = it_ekko-ZZZ.
      ELSE.                              "New Value ?
        READ TABLE i_t_ekko WITH KEY ebeln = ebeln.
        xmcekko-ZZZ = i_t_ekko-ZZZ.
      ENDIF.
      MODIFY xmcekko.
    ENDLOOP.
EndCase.
Share your ideas and we will give you reward points!

Hello Kevin
We have exactly the same problem. Did you solve it? If you did, could you please tell us how you did it? We neither see our field in LBWE. Our field is a Z field from a Z table.
I hope you could help us. We just have this issue to finish our project.
Thanks a lot in advanced

How to extract a field from Binary object

Hi Guys,
I have a Binary object in custom aggregator and I would like to extract a field from the Binary object without de-serializing the Binary object. I know this can be done but figure out how.. Appreciate your help.
Have tried this
PofValue value = PofValueParser.parse(Binary, (PofContext) BinaryEntry.getSerializer());
PofValue child = value.getChild(1);
Object value = child1.getValue();
but no luck.
Thanks
D

Hi JK,
Thanks.. I have Binary and tried
PofValue pofValue = PofValueParser.parse(binary, pofContext);
PofNavigator path = new SimplePofPath(1);
PofValue target = path.navigate(pofValue);
Object value = target != null ? target.getValue() : null;
but no luck.. I must be missing something.
Basically, am trying to do cache joins using aggregator and data affinity. Sample code snippet
@Override
public Object aggregate(Set values) {
List extractedValues = new ArrayList();
for (Map.Entry entry : (Set<Map.Entry>)values) {
   try {
    //these are BinaryEntries in TESTCACHE1
    BinaryEntry binaryEntry = (BinaryEntry)entry;
    Long compId = (Long)binaryEntry.extract(new KeyExtractor("getComponentId"));
    Long contId = (Long)binaryEntry.extract(new KeyExtractor("getPartyId"));
    BackingMapContext backingMapContext = binaryEntry.getContext().getBackingMapContext("TESTCACHE2");
    ObservableMap backingMap = backingMapContext.getBackingMap();
    MapIndex mapIndex = backingMapContext.getIndexMap().get(new KeyExtractor("getComponentId"));
    com.tangosol.util.InflatableSet keySet = (com.tangosol.util.InflatableSet) mapIndex.getIndexContents().get(compId);
    Binary object = null;
    for(Object key : keySet ) {
     object = (Binary)backingMap.get(key);
    PofNavigator path = new SimplePofPath(2);
    PofValue value = PofValueParser.parse(object, (PofContext) binaryEntry.getSerializer());
    PofValue target = path.navigate(value);
    Object extractedValue = target != null ? target.getValue(): null;
    extractedValues.add(extractedValue);
   } catch (Throwable t) {
    log.error("Exception in aggregate method ", t);
    throw new RuntimeException("Exception in aggregate method", t);
return extractedValues;

How to add custom field to ical

Hi
I run a small business from my mac pro and my iphone. I would like to get a good workflow but it seems I am missing a few bits of information.
First I would like to add custom fields to ical so that I can gather all the information I need in one spot. For example, I create a meeting with new client Tim Smith on Friday so I want to enter his name and contact info into ical because I need his address and phone number on the event so I can reference it.
Then I would like to find a way to automatically create a contact card based on that information. If I can find an apple script that reads the fields in Ical and creates new contacts based on new events that I created.
Then I would like to automate extracting the email addresses to send out preformed group mailers for people who were in my calendar that day ie "Thanks for meeting with me, I think we got a lot accomplished and hope to see you at the next meeting." etc etc
Then also automate reports based off of my ical events such as "Report for how many times I had a meeting in the Blue Room this week" or "How many times did I meet with Timothy Smith" this year
I have tried automator and it doesn't seem strong enough to do this so I am thinking AppleScript but I am not very good at it. Anyone have any ideas on any of these issues?

Tried the iCal forum and support

Tried Lion Community?

Bidder Not able to filter Bid Invitations with custom fields

Dear Community,
Need some ABAP help.
Know many experts are in our community.
We have added 3 custom fields to the Bid Invitation and Bid header
Coded Badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2 for them to appear in the Search criteria for Find Bid Invitation for both the logins(purchaser and bidder).
The custom fields now appear in the Extended search for both.
These custom fields extract values from custom tables.
But we found that the search criteria seems to be filtering Bid Invitations only in the Process Bid Invitation screen(Find Bid Invitation) of the purchaser login.
Template: bbp_bid_inv/99/saplbbp_bid_inv_1010.html
And NOT filtering Bid Invitations in the Process Bid screen(Find Bid Invitations and Auctions) of the Bidder login.
bbp_quot/99/saplbbp_quot_ui_its_1010.html
The ABAPer has already incuded the custom fields in structures INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_BID and INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_QUOT,
What is required in addition so that the search criteria will work in the Bidder login as well??
Thanks in Advance,
Dinesh
(Will appreciate with points)

Thanks, Disha.
We have alreday activated BBP_WF_LIST
and tried some code in method
BBP_WF_LIST_SOCO
but did not help us.
Can you suggest any specific code to try?
You are right for template modification for values of this custom fields.
If we do that Bidder CAN filter the BI correctly with these values of custom fields.
But customer does not want that way because in future the values would be changing.
and so it would be an additional task to correct templates.
Also they have to redo these changes with every upgrade.
So we are fetching the values from custom tables for these custom fields.
Would like to again draw the attention towards purchaser's search with these custom fields.
Why purchaser can search correctly with these custom fields fetching values from custom tables?
Can we debug or take any hint from there?
Any futher thoughts?

Problem in delta management for custom fields added in standard Table

Hi developers,
we have a problem, when a sales order is modified in a field custom, added in tables (VBAP-VBAK), the delta BW doesn't recognize the modifications. The data type of these fields haven't the flag (Change document) setted in
view Definition.
If this flag is setted, Can the delta BW recognize the modifications of the custom fields?
Best regards
Domenico

You cannot get delta by just appending fields to extract structure & writing the user exit coding as this user exit code is run by the extractor after the X- and Y- tables are compared to create the before & after images.
You have to do this procedure by enhancing LIS comm structures like MCVBAP (for example).
Please refer to OSS note 576886 for complete details.

Add custom fields in EL09/EL35 transaction

Hi,
I need to add custom fileds in these transactions in order to specify particular client information I have to extract in the output of meter reading order.
How can I accomplish this need?
Do I need to define a custom transaction or do I have to implement some customizing-badi,... I didn't find anything useful in my researches.
Can you help me please?
Thanks,
Gabriele

Hi Gabriele,
When we are generating meter reading orders, entries are made in tables EABL & EABLG. You can add custom fields in these tables using enhancement EDMMR001.
Based on your rules / logic, you can update these custom fields from user exit - EXIT_SAPLEL01_010.
Now, when you are downloading meter reading orders, you can access these values.
Alternatively, if you can derive these additional values in run time, you can place your logic in Meter Read Order Download Print Workbench program.
Hope this helps.

Avinash
