Getting error while updating data element using Xquery Automator

Hi,
I am getting following error while i am trying to update a data element in my task.
<Nov 28, 2011 5:02:40 PM IST> <Error> <oms> <BEA-000000> <automation.AutomationDispatcher: Failed to execute

the Xquery that i am using is pretty simple:
declare namespace automator = "java:oracle.communications.ordermanagement.automation.plugin.ScriptSenderContextInvocation";
declare namespace context = "java:com.mslv.oms.automation.TaskContext";
declare namespace log = "java:org.apache.commons.logging.Log";

let $CLFY_XML := //CLFY_XML
let $Id_Number :=//Id_Number
return
automator:setUpdateOrder($automator,"true"),
log:info($log,fn:concat('ID request number is: ', $Id_Number)),

</ord:OrderDataUpdate>
Can anyone please tell me the reason due to which this error is coming.
Thanking in advance
Ashish Garg

Hello.
Ok I need you to tell me a little bit more about your automator, did you config an Xquery Automator with Event Type: Internal?
You should declare namespace automator = "java:oracle.communications.ordermanagement.automation.plugin.ScriptReceiverContextInvocation";
instead of
declare namespace automator = "java:oracle.communications.ordermanagement.automation.plugin.ScriptSenderContextInvocation";
And let my ask you, what are you trying to do with the next lines:
let $CLFY_XML := //CLFY_XML
let $Id_Number :=//Id_Number
Becouse I think you are trying to acces the data on the task, If that is the reason, you should better use something like:
let $order := ..//oms:GetOrder.Response
let $orderId := $order/oms:_root/oms:orderHeader/oms:orderId
with the above lines you are accesing the data that has been added to the task and the just acces the node that you nedd, for example here Im accesig the node
orderId under OrderHeader
Another thing is that if you want to update node which already exists in the task data, then you have to use something like:
<OrderDataUpdate xmlns="http://www.metasolv.com/OMS/OrderDataUpdate/2002/10/25">
<Update path="/orderHeader/orderId">{$orderId}</Update>
</OrderDataUpdate>
But if you have to add a new path you should have something like this:
<OrderDataUpdate xmlns="http://www.metasolv.com/OMS/OrderDataUpdate/2002/10/25">
 <Add path="/OrderHeader">
 <Transaction>
 <Name>{$orderId/text())}</Name>
 <ComponentKey>{$controlData/text()}</ComponentKey>
 </Transaction>
 </Add>
</OrderDataUpdate>
For the above transaction you should have in the dictionary the structure, OrderHeader in the root, and inside this the structure another node with the respective names
<Transaction>
 <Name>{$orderId/text())}</Name>
 <ComponentKey>{$controlData/text()}</ComponentKey>
 </Transaction>
Another thing is that you should have all this structures in the Task Data of this Task.
Hope this help
Lucas.

Dynamic text in Data elements

Hi all,
          Can we populate the data element text dynamically.
         For eg: we have field TXT whose data element is ZTEXT and the short text that appears in the table is TEXT.
        Now we want to create two other fields TXT1 and TXT2 and the text that needs to appear should be other than TEXT (could be TEXT1 & TEXT2) is it possible to do such kind of modifications..
      To boil down, we want to use one data element across different fields but that text needs to be diffferent.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Kishore Yerra.

The text is inherited from the data element. While creating tables you have 2 options 'Data Elements'   OR 'BUILT-IN / PREDEFINED' see the button next to SEARCH HELP button in the table - toolbar.
In such case why you want to use the Text element, you can use th BUILT-IN / PREDEFINED Types, You can direcly give the field name and type along with required texts.
Hope it will help.

Vishal

How to get short text of a exception thrown by abap rfc

Hi buddy,
I use jco to communicate with backend, an abap function module will raise a exception. I can catch that exception,
The example exception is:
Exception Short text
Test This is exception test.
e.getKey()
will return TEST.
Does any know how to get that short text "This is exception test." from the exception I caught?
Thanks
Austin

Hi Austin,
There are 2 methods to raise errors in function modules.
1) Using the raise Exception statement
2) Using a return structure like BAPIRET to populate the message details like type, error number, error text etc.
Generally method 1 is not recommended for any RFC/BAPI function modules because it causes the calling program to crash if the function raises an exception. Method 2 is the recommended way and is used in all standard BAPI's. ABAP programmers are advised to code RFC's as per method 2, but some times it would not be possible as the function would already be used and could be barred from changes.
But whatever method the RFC uses to raise an exception, web dynpro can handle it in the following ways,
Method 1) If the RFC raises an exception using RAISE EXCEPTION,
Dont catch Exception class in your code, instead do the following,
catch (WDDynamicRFCExecuteException e) {
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
 e.getLocalizedMessage(),
 true);
Method 2) If the function returns the errors in the standard bapi return structure, you can do the following
 IWDMessageManager MsgMgr = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
 for (int i = 0; i < ReturnNode.size(); i++) {
 if (Types.indexOf("S") != -1
 && ReturnNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Type").equals(
 "S"))
 MsgMgr.reportSuccess(
 ReturnNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Message"));
 if (Types.indexOf("W") != -1
 && ReturnNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Type").equals(
 "W"))
 MsgMgr.reportWarning(
 ReturnNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Message"));
 if (Types.indexOf("E") != -1
 && ReturnNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Type").equals(
 "E"))
 MsgMgr.reportWarning(
 ReturnNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Message"));

CATS - adding WBS Short Text to Data Entry Section

i got the wbs short text to appear in the work area but it's not showing up in the data entry section. It's all setup in CAC2 under worklist and data entry. Am I missing something else ?. There looks to 5 core fields in the data entry section and using CAC2 - i can take any of those fields away and add them back but cant add any other columns to be displayed
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Thankyou for your response.
The Short text i mentioned is not the text of the attendance / absence code. It is the additional message one may want to associate with the record being entered.
It can be seen in a pop-up window in CATS whenever the hours field of such a record is double-clicked.
When i try to transfer such a record with an additional short text assigned to it in CATS to HR (CAT6/CATA), the short text does not transfer.
Could you help me find a way to transfer such short texts to respective HR infotypes (IT2001 / IT2002)
Thanks for your help!
Thanks and regards,
Shreyasi.

Problem in getting long text in Cash receipt.

Hi all,
I want long text in my form print but as a programming i am not getting long text in description Field I am getting short text. So can you please kindly tell me when we entered long text in transaction FBCJ this long text save in which table. And how can i fetch this data in my smartforms.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Keyur,
when you see the detail text in the transaction, use menu goto -> header. Here you see the details to use for an include staement in sapscript. Note that the text name may be a concateneation of client and document number. Prepare the details in print program, fill in variables to be used in sapscript.
Hope these details are enough.

Data Element Doubt

Generally we will specify three types of descriptions(Long,Meduim,Short) in the data element along with the data element description.
1. In which cases those three types of texts are used ?
2. I think the description of data element comes to the field description in the table .... Right ?

hi manjunath,
the reson for specifying 3 texts are that
1) used in screen elements based on DATA element.
    there is something called program parameter OR
    Dictionary parameter
    when you take dictionary parameter based on the screen field size the appropriate text is shown on the screen - i.e either in push buttons or other elements
2) in ALV you may build a field catalog manually where in the output columns should have a text.
for this you can either doctionary texts(S,M,L) so then the Texts maintained against the Data element are shown in output.
OR when you use the FIELDCATALOG MERGE Function Module to create your Field Catalog based a structure or Internal table then the Column Texts are displayed based on the user interaction on the output columns.
Second Question - Yes the Description you write for a Data Element will be Used as you Field Description as you know that whenver a FIELD in a table is created you can specify the length of the field either through Predefined Direct Types or Trhough Data Elements.
When you define thorugh DATA elements the Data Elements Description is taken as Field Description
ELSE
When you take Direct Type then you need to also Manually Write the Field Description.
Hope this clarifies what you have been looking for.
Encuorage others to answer your queries by suitably rewarding them.

Use of documentation flow in data element!!!!

hi experts,
what is the use of documentation flow in data element.
if that field is selected then where will be changes reflected ?
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Changing Data Element documentation (F1 help text)
SAP allows you to modify data element documentation (F1 help text), this could be useful if you want to add/remove information from the F1 help text. E.g. If you are using the field to store info it was not intended for.
Step 1
Using transaction CMOD chose the following menu option
Menu Goto->TExt Enhancements_>data elements->list cust docu.
Enter the data element that you wish to change the documentation text for, then click the change icon(Pencil in 4.6c and tick in 4.6b). You will then be presented with the following screen, which allows you to create new versions of the data element documentation. Simply click on the Change button and enter a name within the customer name range.

XPath expression for getting nodes based on date

Hello,
using javax.xml.xpath.XPath (Java 5) I want to get only nodes with dates (element pubDate) greater then some provided date. What is the expression for getting, say only first two <item> nodes? Is it at all possible?
Example XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
 <channel>
 <title>Channel title</title>
 <link>http://www.foo.bar</link>

I would simply assign value to a variable inside package and use the value in the expression. You can also add variable to configuration if you want to pass a value from outside. You can also add another variable to determine whether you need yesterday or
specific date and set expression accordingly so that you expression will look like
(DT_WSTR,30)([User::DateCategory] == "Specific Date"? @[User::Date]:(DT_WSTR, 4) DATEPART( "yyyy", DATEADD( "dd" , -1, GETDATE() ) ) + Right("0"+(DT_WSTR, 2)DATEPART( "mm", DATEADD( "dd" , -1, GETDATE() ) ),2) + Right("0"+(DT_WSTR, 2)DATEPART( "dd", DATEADD( "dd" , -1, GETDATE() ) ) ,2)) +"_*.TXT"
DateCategory variable should be of type string
and Date should of type date

Short Text in PO change History

Hi Experts,
I am developing a report for changes in PO History.
I have fetched each and every field except the the field for short text
The way to see the PO history change is
Tcode: ME23n
Select any item from item details, and follow the path in menu bar Environment-->Item Changes.
A new window will get open.
There the third field is of short text description. I want this field.
Plz tell me the table nameu2026
hav a gr8 day ahead..
Regards,
Apoorv sharma

Hi Apoorva,
To get short text, you have to get the fieldname and tablename and that you can get from CDPOS. After getting that :
1.Pass Table name and fieldname to DD03L table and get field value of fieldname 'ROLLNAME'.
2.Pass this value to table DD04T and get field DDTEXT.
For example, you want to get the short text and Table name has EKPO and fieldname has MENGE. Then once you pass field name MENGE and table name EKPO to table DD03L, then you will get field DD03L-ROLLNAME as BSTMG.With DD03L-ROLLNAME as BSTMG pass to table DD04T and get field DDTEXT, you will get Purchase Order Quantity.
Thanks & Regards,
Faheem.
