How to conditionally encapsulate fields within ECC 6.0

I'm interested in strategies to conditionally encapsulate fields within ECC 6.0.
The requirement would be to mask specific fields (e.g. Vendor Name) within a particular data set (e.g. a particular Company Code) by default while allowing those fields to be visible by some users. The key is that we do not want to mask these fields globally, nor do we want them masked for every user. Even more important, we do not want to modify all the transactions and programs where these fields are available.
I know one option is to add custom code at the Domain level of the fields. We're currently investigating this further to see if it will satisfy all our needs and perform well.
I'm looking for any other options we should explore, including 3rd party options.
Thanks,
~Matt

I understand it is a "no worry' on the complaiance front, but i suppose there could be a valid reason for not allowing users to display something (the operator can shed light on that)
And from what i understand, the object doesnt get checked during the creation of master records too - its primarily to control the changes made on certain fields of the master record.
and it needs a certain amount of effort to understand & check the implications before starting with the filed group customizing

thanks, Alex. This need could in all fairness end up with that.... a transaction variant

Why do i feel an Auditor posted this????

How to clear the fields within copy routines in the copy contorl

HI Gurus,
I need to clear the fields VBP-VBELV and VBAP-PSSNV within the copy routines 303 in the copy control between quote item and sales order item. I am not sure how to do that... Can some body please help.
This is required because we had sales order and quote using the same requirement type which controls the special stock indicator. This leads to the stock getting update in quotation instead of the sales order, because the quotation is initiating document (collecting all cost etc).Now i know requirement should only be passed to production from sales order and not from quotation so i changed the config but there are some existing documents using same requirement type on both quotation and sales order and to correct those i need to clear fields VBP-VBELV and VBAP-PSSNV within the copy routines 303.
Please help!

Sam

Hi ,
just use this code in ur save button action handler , this will clear the field after entered in to the database and will ready for the next set of data.
String password=wdContext.currentContextElement().getpwd();
try{
     InitialContext ctx=new InitialContext();
     DataSource ds=(DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/SAPJ2EDB");
     Connection con=ds.getConnection();
     con.setAutoCommit(false);
     Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
     int retIns = stmt.executeUpdate("insert into TMP_NEWUSERDETAIL(PASSWORD) values("password")");
     con.commit();
     con.setAutoCommit(true);
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setpwd(null);
or use a seperate button to clear the field.
wdContext.currentContextElement().set<Attributename>(null);

How to save data fields within Collapsed PanelBox

Hi All
I have JDeveloper 11.7. I have a Panel Box with Panel group layout having some simple adf fields like (InputText, SelectChoice, Text Area etc). All these fields are mapped to a simple Java Entity with Setter and Getter methods. OnSave, in Managed Bean, I save the data to Database.
If Panel is Open, all fields get Saved. BUT if I enter data and Collapse the Panel, those Fields are NOT getting Saved. I guess this is Expected behavior of ADF Not to Render or Submit any data from InVisible or Collapsed Panels. My need is to Save those fields even if Panel is Collapsed. Do any of you know this behavior and have any solution. One way is if for each field I have autoSubmit=”true”, it gets Save even if Collapsed. But I have like 20 Panels with total about 400 fields. I don’t want to set autoSubmit for all of them. I am looking for any property to set at PanelBox level itself. I tried flags like immediate, contentDelivery, persist etc but it did not work. Is there something I can do like on Disclosure events.
On a Page, I have 5 Panel boxes. User enters data in each Panel, collapse it to get more space for next Panel. Unfortunately I cannot disable the option to NOT collapse them.
Thanks
Ravi Jegga

Thanks Timo. I am already doing autoSubmit for few fields and yes, they get saved. But I have like 300 fields spread across multiple tabs and each tab having multiple panel boxes. I was looking at alternate way to fix this something like panel box level,or with min lines of code. If there is absolutely other way, I may end up doing autoSubmit for all 300 fields. Are there any side effects / performance issues if I set this flag for all the fields.
Thanks

How to transfer SRM PO Condition Type and Custom fields to ECC?

Hi All,
I have a scenario to transfer SRM Line item condition types and few custom fields to ECC.
I have found the following things but structure 'CI_EKPODB' does not exists in ECC.
I am using 'SRM 5.00' and 'SAP ECC 6.0'.
NOTE: I have to transfer condition records when PO is getting created / modified.
1) Earlier I was planning to use BADI 'BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW' in SRM and this will transfer the data to ECC in case of PO
    Creation.
               It contains the Condition fields to be passed to ECC.
But i am unable to implement the same, whenever i create implementation when i click 'Activate' its getting activate then after few seconds its getting deactivate, i think this is because this BADI is not allowed for multiple use and SAP has already made one implementation on the same.
2) I need to implement BADI 'BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI' in SRM and 'BBP_PO_INBOUND_BADI' in ECC.
SRM BADI will pass verified field details to ECC as a custom fields
       It does not contains the Condition fields to be passed to ECC, so i was planning to pass the same as custom field(s).
ECC BADI 'BBP_PO_INBOUND_BADI' will be used to map the fields to correct place and this should work.
i need to modify the structures and pass all the custom fields (z-fields) - (CI_EKPODB but does not exists kindly suggest) as data.
Other required details:
      Transfer of PO does not supported by SAP for service PO's, any suggestion on the same?
Expecting quick reply from your end.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hemant

Naresh,
Thanks for quick response.
My concern is this BADI 'BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW' will trigger only in case of creation, not when PO is changes.
I have to transfer condition types and custom fields to ECC in both the case (create / change)
If i have to do this only in case of creation then i can pass Condition types / custom fields then i can use parameter 'CS_PO1_DOCUMENT' from method 'FILL_PO_INTERFACE1'.
this parameter contains 'IT_POCOND', 'IT_POCONDX' and 'IT_EXTENSIONIN' as parameter so my problem will be solved.
But i dont think this will trigger in both the cases and 2nd thing i cann't implement the BADI since its not marked for multiple use so i am unable to implement the same.
Kindly correct me if i am wrong.
Once again thanks for your reply.
Please suggest on the same.
Regards,
Hemant

How to Handle Blank Field Value based Condition in SmartForms

Dear Sir,
In SMARTFORM , we need to define a Condition that incase Field Value is not equal to BLANK value (blank means that field is empty) then a specific text gets printed .
Our problem is that We do not know as how to define Empty Field Value based condition .
Had it been Non Empty Field value based condition then solution was simple and could be done in following way :
Field Value                        R                     Comparision Value
WA_KZDKZ                      =                      'X'
In our case , we need to give Blank (Empty Value) instead of 'X' .
Kindly help us pl .
Rgds
B Mittal

Hi,
To handle blank field values in SMARTFORMS,
Go to the conditions tab in your SMARTFORM and give condition there
Field                Comparision operator          value
<Field name>      <> Here symbol is diff     space.
eg:
wa_mara-matnr    =/                                   space.

How to create watch points in ECC 6.0

Hi Experts,
How to create watch points in ECC 6.0
Thanks.

Dear Kalyan,
The moment the debugger starts, there will be an icon for "Watchpoint" exactly after F5, F6, F7, F8 and a big STOP red button on the application tool bar. Once you click on that Watchpoint button, it will take you to the screen where you need to define the exact field and its relative operator along with the condition to be checked.
Hope this is clear. No navigation needed for this.

How to find the field name of variable system information on SAP B1

Hi All,
I recently wanted to create a simple SQL query to list all ITEM MASTER DATE where the weight is blank. This is so i can get a list of all items with the weight information missing from the system to investigate.
It turns out the weight field within the SALES DATA tab is a system variable. When i pull the OITM table up within the query generator i can not identify where this variable name come up without guessing which can give me the wrong information.
Can someone point me into the direction on how to assisocate variable to a field name within SAP B1. This is also another problem if i wanted to display variable within Crystal report layout.
Regards

Hi Nick Dang,
Try This
SELECT T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T0.[SalUnitMsr], T0.[SHeight1], T0.[SWidth1], T0.[SLength1], T0.[SVolume], T0.[SWeight1] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[ItemCode] =[%0]

[Forum FAQ] How to use multiple field terminators in BULK INSERT or BCP command line

Introduction
Some people want to know if we can have multiple field terminators in BULK INSERT or BCP commands, and how to implement multiple field terminators in BULK INSERT or BCP commands.
Solution
For character data fields, optional terminating characters allow you to mark the end of each field in a data file with a field terminator, as well as the end of each row with a row terminator. If a terminator character occurs within the data, it is interpreted
as a terminator, not as data, and the data after that character is interpreted and belongs to the next field or record. I have done a test, if you use BULK INSERT or BCP commands and set the multiple field terminators, you can refer to the following command.
In Windows command line,
bcp <Databasename.schema.tablename> out “<path>” –c –t –r –T
For example, you can export data from the Department table with bcp command and use the comma and colon (,:) as one field terminator.
bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department out C:\myDepartment.txt -c -t ,: -r \n –T
The txt file as follows:
However, if you want to bcp by using multiple field terminators the same as the following command, which will still use the last terminator defined by default.
bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department in C:\myDepartment.txt -c -t , -r \n -t: –T
The txt file as follows:
When multiple field terminators means multiple fields, you use the below comma separated format,
column1,,column2,,,column3
In this occasion, you only separate 3 fields (column1, column2 and column3). In fact, after testing, there will be 6 fields here. That is the significance of a field terminator (comma in this case).
Meanwhile, using BULK INSERT to import the data of the data file into the SQL table, if you specify terminator for BULK import, you can only set multiple characters as one terminator in the BULK INSERT statement.
USE <testdatabase>;
GO
BULK INSERT <your table> FROM ‘<Path>’
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = ' char/native/ widechar /widenative',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ' field_terminator',
For example, using BULK INSERT to import the data of C:\myDepartment.txt data file into the DepartmentTest table, the field terminator (,:) must be declared in the statement.
In SQL Server Management Studio Query Editor:
BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.HumanResources.DepartmentTest FROM ‘C:\myDepartment.txt’
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = ‘char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,:’,
The new table contains like as follows:
We could not declare multiple field terminators (, and :) in the Query statement, as the following format, a duplicate error will occur.
In SQL Server Management Studio Query Editor:
BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.HumanResources.DepartmentTest FROM ‘C:\myDepartment.txt’
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = ‘char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,’,
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘:’
However, if you want to use a data file with fewer or more fields, we can implement via setting extra field length to 0 for fewer fields or omitting or skipping more fields during the bulk copy procedure.

Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?

I got a few inputs from forum that we can achieve this by implementing the following steps..........
Create In context => Value attribute => Say Visibility
Go to its properties
Select com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Visibility
In View Layout
Select UI Element Set Visible property to this context variable Visibility.
In wdDoModifyView() You can set this property to false

How i hide a field of a custom view in OAF 11

Hi, im a new developer of OAF11.
What should I do, to customize the Purchase Order screen, if then the requirement is to hide the field that i insert from extended VO.
What I did was modify the XML of the page to add the field and then extended the original AM.
I added the extended view into the custom AM to prevent that fail with the field that i insert.
I must clarify that I modify the path of AM default for the path of the custom AM in the XML, then i upload the XML with the command import, and i see it the field in the page.
I tried to hide another field that i created by customizing the page, but I couldnt do. That´s why i insert directly the field in the XML original.
I Try to customize the driver involved with the page, but nothing happened.
First try it on the controller Father and after the son.
The page is in the POS module (iSupplier), and is POSVIEWPOG (PO Details).
The code that attempts to hide the field is:
OAApplicationModule am = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean);
OAViewObject oaviewobject1 =(OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("PosViewHeadersVO");
if (oaviewobject1 != null)
OARow row = (OARow)oaviewobject1.getCurrentRow();
String vCustomType = (String)row.getAttribute("TypeName");
if (vCustomType.equals("Blanket Agreement"))
OAMessageStyledTextBean vHideField = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)paramOAWebBean.findChildRecursive("drbQuantity");
vHideField.setRendered(true);
else
OAMessageStyledTextBean vHideField = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)paramOAWebBean.findChildRecursive("drbQuantity");
vHideField.setRendered(true);
Can anyone help me?
If im grong other solution that i think is:
How I can put a field on a page with code and how to hide the field with conditions?, consider that the field is from the VO extended.
Thanks!!!
