Hiding Pyload in SXMB_MONI of PI

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario in which user sends confidential data from DB to PI to ECC.
In receiver side i am using one BAPI to post data in ECC.
User wants that data should not be visible in SXMB_moni or on java stack.
I was looking for possible solutions.
I have thought of 2 approaches.
1- I will use the Payload Hiding Concept by restricting the ability of users to view the payload of message.
Check SAP Note: 1370334 for Payload Hiding in Java and 1645413 for Payload Hiding in ABAP.
2- As suggested by william li
How about getting the value encrypted, just like William Li has described in this Document:
Developing Adapter User-Module to Encrypt XML Elements in Process Integration 7.1
but i have few questions about this approach
My SAP PI is on AIX server. will there be any difference between windows based and AIX based libraries used in this module?
Will libraries name used in this module will be same for AIX based server and Window based server or will be different?
William has done this implementation on SAP PI 7.1 but i am using SAP PI 7.3.
Again my question is:
Will libraries name used in this module will be same for SAP PI 7.1 and SAP PI 7.3 or will be different?
Please experts suggest me....
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep Sharma

Hi Sharma,
Thanks for your reply. My scenario is SOAP to RFC.(synchronus)
This William Approach is work for my scenario.?
I completed the process step by step at end i am getting one warning when i tried to deploy into server. please find the warning.message.

Hiding a Maintenance View in a View Cluster

Hello ABAP Experts,
We have a scenario where we would like to hide a maintenance view to an existing view cluster based on condition.
Is it possible via events of a view cluster, where i can hide the view at runtime based on some condition before the view cluster is displayed ?
Is there any way as well, which help achieve this hiding of views ?
For example in the below View Cluster, i would like to hide "Define object links" view from the main view cluster "Define document Types".
Thanks,
Naresh

Hi Naresh,
Yes, you can do it in events of a view cluster, define a subroutine and bounding it to event(02) in SE54,
when you define the subroutine, it will ask you creat a mian program, in this main program, you need 'INCLUDE lsvcmcod'.
Then you can access some standard data, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/c302c7de8e11d1a5960000e82deaaa/frameset.htm
INCLUDE lsvcmcod.
FORM yourSubroutineName.
DATA: viewname TYPE vclstruc-object,
        error_flag TYPE vcl_flag_type,
viewname = 'ZTEST_VIEW1'.
* PERFORM vcl_set_table_access_for_obj USING    viewname
*                                       CHANGING error_flag.
----> according your condition to change the view.
IF xxx = yyy.
DELETE vcl_struc_tab WHERE object = viewname.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.

I can not find the messages in sxmb_moni in http to rfc scenarion

hi i'm using http client tool when i send the message its working fine i'm getting the response, but i can not find that message in sxmb_moni in http to rfc scenario
can anyone help me

Hi lnaki vila
I'm using pi 7.0 version
i can see the other scenarios like SOAP to RFC, SOAP to IDOC,FILEto IDOC
in sender side i'm not using any communication channel and adapter engine i'm just using http client tool for testing purpose
i'm getting the response that's fine because its a synchronous communication
i checked sxmb_adm in that -->integration configuration LOGGING parameter of category RUNTIME is set to ENGINE_TYPE and current value is HUB(Integration server)
thanks in advance

Can not see messages in SXMB_MONI of ECC

Hi Friends,
 Here I am facing some problem with SXMB_MONI of ECC. I am doing an XI upgrade from XI3.0 to PI 7.1.
when I am doing my interface upgrade I am unable to see messages in SXMB_MONI of ECC. As ECC is also got upgraded now BASIS is very confused about configuration.
 when I went through some blogs I came across some suggestions like configuration in SXMB_ADM. In ECC the integration engine configuration what I did is
 Role of Business System : Application System.
 Corresponding Integ. Server : dest://<HTTP DEST>
 One of my doubts:: Is <HTTP DEST> is the one which we are giving in XI/PI or the new one created for ECC. First BASIS set up <HTTP DEST> as the same one which was configured in PI. Then I went back to BASIS and tell them that ECC is having its own local Integration Engine, so we need to create <HTTP DEST> which connects to integration engine of ECC.
 Then they created one <HTTP DEST> for ECC. but when I am doing connection test, Http response is coming as 400 BAD HTTP Response :: protocol error. I have no idea why it is behaving like that.
 After when I go through some more blogs they are dealing with RFC destinations LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI. when I check it in ECC I didn't found RFC destination LCRSAPRFC but SAPSLDAPI is existing in ECC.
 more over some blogs deal with the configuration in Transaction SLDAPICUST. when I check it in ECC no configuration was done in SLDAPICUST.
 I already configured ENGINE_TYPE, IS_URL, LOGGING, LOGGING_PROPAGATION, LOGGING_SYNC under specific configuration data of SXMB_ADM of ECC.
 Please let me know what needs to be done and let me out of this confusion. As I am a PI developer I am unaware of all these configurations. expecting replies from gurus....
Regards,
DASARI

Hi Friends,
 Looking at some more blogs I got a doubt.
 Actually my scenario is File - XI - RFC.
 Now my doubt is whether we can see the messages which were going to ECC by RFC adapter ?
 Looking at a thread I got confused whether SXMB_MONI can capture messages only if they are coming from Proxy or IDOC . please clarify me.
Regards,
Dasari.

PI 7.11 - How to create a System Error in SXMB_MONI using a Java Mapping

Hi
We ve go a Java Mapping in a File-to-HTTP Scenario. It works perfect except of one error case: if an empty source file or a source file with the wrong structure is delivered. In this case our Java Mapping forwards an empty payload to the HTTP channel. So, for PI is the mapping successful.
I'd like to recognize this case and invoke a system error in the SXMB_MONI, so that this mapping will be stopped and our alerting concept informs the users. I know, how to recognize the case in Java but need to know how to create the System Error Status in the PI System.
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi Michael,
Please refer here for the mapping API description:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/pi/com/sap/aii/mapping/api/package-summary.html
You can use the StreamTransformationException exception describet there to raise an error from your Java mapping. Direct link:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/pi/com/sap/aii/mapping/api/StreamTransformationException.html
You might also consider using the "Empty-File Handling" option in sender file CC to avoid processing empty files by PI.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Unable to see pipe line steps in the SXMB_MONI

HI,
i have done the development and quality work for my p i7.1
i was testing the messages in the Quality System.
So i went to SXMB_MONI to see the messages.
After double clicking on the successfully processed message, it shows
pipe line steps.
in that I am able to see
1.inbound message(CENTRAL)
2.XML Validation inbound channel Request
3. call adapter
4. Response
but i am unable to see
1. Receiver Determination
2. Interface Determination
3. Receiver Grouping
4. Request Message Mapping
5. Technical Routing
whereas in the develoment system i am able to see the above all.
is there any configuration i have to do in the SXMB_ADM?

can i know that Configuration objects were created/ imported by using transport mechanisum?
if created ,
check the cache status and re activated those objects whatever u r posted in thread.
if transported :
u ll follow ,whatever posted by Earlier

What is Difference between SXMB_MONI and SXMB_MONITOR?

what is Difference between SXMB_MONI and SXMB_MONITOR?
Can any explain to this question.please?

Hello,
Both are same.
SXMB_MONI is area menu which will contain all multiple transactions pertaining to monitoring.
SXMB_MONI contains some functions viz monitoring for Bridging, Archived Msgs, Job overview, persistence layer analysis.
SXI_monitor directly leads to the message monitoring for the IS, which is part of the SXMB_MONI.
SXI_MONITOR directly executes the monitoring report.

Dialogue tick boxes un-hiding all fields, not just the ones where value has changed to true

You're missing some curly brackets, using the incorrect equality operator, and using the long deprecated field.hidden property. Try this:
if ("ok" == Signors.DoDialog()) {
    if (Signors.bChk2) {
        getField("Signor1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date2").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk3) {
        getField("Signor2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date4").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk4) {
        getField("Signor3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date5").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date6").display = display.visible;
    console.println("Chk2:" + Signors.bChk2);
    console.println("Chk3:" + Signors.bChk3);
    console.println("Chk4:" + Signors.bChk4);
    console.println("Chk5:" + Signors.bChk5);
I don't know if that will deal with all of the problems, but it's a good start.

I have a old excel file that has some hiding info. in some of the cell boxes. I can not see them on my Mac computers. When I click on the cells to see the hidden info. it does not show up.

Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel? Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

Hiding text box based on check box checking

Hello,
I have a jsp in which based on whether the check box is checked or unchecked I want to hide or show a text box. I am including the text box in a div tag & calling a javascript function to set the style of the div to hidden or shown based on whether the check box is checked or not. although i am getting the correct values in the alerts the text box is not getting hidden.
 <td class="label"><label for="chk1"><gbms:message key="lblSearchforDeletedCustomer"/>:</label></td><td class="input">
 <html-el:checkbox property="chk1" value="N" tabindex="3" onclick="javascript:checkboxClicked(document.forms['formCustomerOrVehicleMaintenance'])" onfocus="fnShowError(document.formCustomerOrVehicleMaintenance.chk1);"></html-el:checkbox> <gbms:message key="chek"/>
 </td>
 <div id="delDateDiv" style:hidden>
 <td class="label"><label for="txtDeleteDate"><gbms:message key="lblDeletedAsOf"/>:</label></td><td class="input">
 <html-el:text property="txtDeleteDate" size="6" maxlength="40" tabindex="3" onchange="fnChanged()" onfocus="fnShowError(document.formCustomerVehicleMaintenanceDelete.txtDeleteDate);"></html-el:text> <a href="#" onclick="cal1xx.select(document.forms[0].txtDeleteDate,'anchor1xx','MMddyy'); return false;" name="anchor1xx"><img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/css/common/calendar.gif" border="0" style="cursor: hand"></a><gbms:help jsp="customerVehicleMaintenanceDelete" module="admin" languageCode="<%=request.getLocale().getLanguage()%>" field="DeletedAsOf"/>
 </td></div>javascript function being called..
function checkboxClicked(aThis)
 var aform = document.forms['formCustomerOrVehicleMaintenance'];
 var aDiv = document.getElementById('delDateDiv');
 alert(aDiv.style.visibility);
 alert(aDiv.innerHTML);
 alert(aform.chk1.checked);
 if(aThis.chk1.value == true)
 aform.txtDeleteDate.value = '';
 aform.txtDeleteDate.disabled = false;
 aDiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
 else
 aform.txtDeleteDate.value = '';
 aform.txtDeleteDate.disabled = true;
 aDiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';
 }

in my javascript function the value returned is true when checkbox is checked & false when it is unchecked. visibility is also giving correct value in the alert. but still field is not hiding
 function checkboxClicked()
 var aform = document.forms['formCustomerOrVehicleMaintenance'];
 var aDiv = document.getElementById('delDateDiv');
 alert(aDiv.style.visibility);
 alert(aform.chk1.checked);
 if(aform.chk1.checked)
 aform.txtDeleteDate.value = '';
 aform.txtDeleteDate.disabled = false;
 aDiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
 alert("inside if");
 alert(aDiv.style.visibility);
 else
 aform.txtDeleteDate.value = '';
 aform.txtDeleteDate.disabled = true;
 aDiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';
 alert("inside else");
 alert(aDiv.style.visibility);

ALV Grid - Hiding the values of a feild and disabling checkboxs

Hello,
I have a report that requires the need to hide certain fields in an ALV report as well as checkbox in certain rows.
So example I want to turn the ALV's output from ....
PO Number
PO Item
450000001
001
450000001
002
450000001
003
450000002
001
450000002
002
[ ] = checkbox
to the desired output below ...
PO Number
PO Item
450000001
001
002
003
450000002
001
002
so baically I want to do 2 things
1. Hide the values of certain fields if the value from the previous row is identital and ...
2. .... only include checkboxes for each new value of that column by either hiding (preferable) or disabling them.
Hope to hear from all of you soon.
Thank you all and good day.

Hi Chad Cheng,

Hiding fields in HCM forms

Hi Experts,
I have following requirement for hiding fields in my form.
I have two screens MANAGER and HR screen.
now i have some input fields which has to be visible in MANAGER screen and
and should be hidden in HR screen.
please let me know how can i achieve this using form calc or java script.
any code will be helpful.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi sushmita,
Thanks for ur reply.
The solution which you have given i have already tried but not working.
my requirement is like MGR or HR can initiate the process.
if only MGR intiates the process the solution which u have given will work.
but here i have a diff scenario.i have created separate process for HR also but im not able
to see that process on the process list.
so i have to use only one process and resolve this.whatever im writing validation is working
only when MGR initiates the process but fails when HR initiates.
Hope u got my point.any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks,
santosh

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).

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 draft 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
Why?
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.
What?
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:
As Defined: The formLayoutItem in displayed as it has been defined during development.
Invisible: 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.
Hidden: 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.
Required: 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).
Optional: Can be used to customize a required field to be not required.
Read Only: Field value is only displayed.
What is index?
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.
Tables
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:
NS_APPL_PAGE This is the unique key that identies the formLayout, consisting of namespace, application and page/view.
FLI_ID Id string of the specific formLayoutItem.
COMPONENT 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.
NS_APPL_PAGE see above
VARIANT_KEY 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.
FLI_ID see above
MODIFIER 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.

Hiding fields in a form

hiding fields in a Form is called what? How do I go about hiding fields in a form than having a button the user can click on to make the fields visible to fill out? Thanks Nick

The "presence" property controls the visibility of form elements.
