How to control the name of custom field in data base table, added by AET

Hi,
I have added the one custom field by Application Enhancement Tool (AET).
The name of custom field has been added in the data base table as ZZFLD000004 by AET.
I need to add the some meaningful name like that ZMYPROB.
How can I control the name of custom field in the database field through AET?
Thanks,
Amit

Got the answer.
Need to click on the Enable Expert mode, then custom field name will be editable.

How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

Hi all,
can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
thanks in advance..

Which field are you thinking of in particular? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
Some screens could cease to work.
If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

How to get the name of a field without specifying it as a string (somehow v

Is it possible to get the name of a field (or method) somehow via the class in which it is declared?
The reason why I ask is, that quite often the name of a field is important, because the name is the anchor for further processing, like for example when using reflection (e.g. Class.getfield(NameOfTheField)).
Assume you have class FooSimple with the field String firstName.
Now you would do something like this:
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField("firstName");
The problem is, that the string firstName is kind of hard coded. When the name of the field in class FooSimple changes (e.g. to theFirstName), the invocation will not work anymore when you forget to change the string too.
I think it would be very helpful to have access to the name of the field directly via the class by doing something like this.
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField(FooSimple.firstName.fieldName);
The Java Compiler would then resolve FooSimple.firstName.fieldName to the string firstName. When later the name of the field is changed, the IDE would change the name everywhere where it is used. So if the name of the field would be changed to theFirstName the IDE would also change the statement to
Class<FooSimple> cls = FooSimple.class;
Field f = cls.getField(FooSimple.theFirstName.fieldName);
A technique like this would be in my opinion much more safety and more generic.
Any ideas?
Best Regards.

Well, I think the discussion is going in a wrong direction because the original issue was not to discuss if it is worth coding some helper classes or a framework or that like. Let me bring it back to my original point.
Basically you can reduce my original question to this:
Currently it is possible to use the reflection API on a class level without specifying the name of the class with a string constant.
My issue is, that I think it would be a nice extension for Java, if the same would be possible for field variables of a Java class. Currently the only way you can do this is by specifying the field variable with a string constant.
Let me bring some motivations which brought me to this issue.
Assume you have an entity bean which represents a DB table and you use Java Persistence (either JPA or something like Hibernate). Then you would have a class looking like this (very simple sample to make this reply shorter).
@Entity
@Table(name = "PERSON")
public class Person implements Serializable {
@Column(name = "NAME")
private String name;
// constructor, getter, setter, etc. not listed here
}The whole issue of the design of JPA is, that such entity beans represent the mapping between the object model and the DB model, the mapping is expressed with annotations.
Okay, now lets assume you write a query in Query Language, e.g.
String sql = select p from Person p where name = :name;name is the name of the field variable, :name is the parameter you later set with Query.setParameter method.
What is not so nice is the fact, that you use the name of the class and the name of the field variables hardcoded to construct the query. Now you could think that basically this information is part of your entity class. First you start with the name of the class (i.e. the table name) to decouple this hardcoding.
You could write instead:
String sql = select p from + Person.class.getSimpleName() + p where name = :name;This is really nice, because whenever you change the name of your Person class, this change happens automatically for the sql statement as well.
I think the next thoughts are obvious, now, since you have decoupled the hardcoded part of the name of the class, you would like to do the same for the names of the field variables. But now you are stuck, there is no way to do this using a similar technique like for the name of the class. Either you stay with the query as it is now, or, to make it a little bit better, you code string constants for the field variables and use them. This issue brought me to the point that I think it would be nice to have the possibility to get the name of a field variable in a similar way as you can get it for the name of the class.
Conceptually it is just to go one level deeper, i.e.
first level is to get the name of a class
second level is to get the name of the field variable of a class.
Another sample would be, if you want to code something by using reflection. You have perfectly access to the reflection API starting at the class level like Person.class.allTheNiceReflectionMethods. There is no need to specify the class first with a string constant first, you directly start with the class, you can even be generic and just work on the Class.class level and still have access to all these nice methods to get out the information you need.
But if you need to start with a very specific field variable (like in the sample above), you must go by using a string constant like Person.class.getDeclaredField(name).
So basically I think that there exist already millions of lines of Java code where a field variable is specified for further processing, especially in combination with the reflection functionality and everywhere the field variables are specified by these string constants in double quotes. I would assume, that everyone has the same problem, once changing the name of the field variable means to take care that also the content of the string which specifies the name of the field variable is changed.
I am wondering why one of the replies commented, why the name of a field variable is changed, it sounds to me that this is something which basically never happens. I dont know, I think that this happens actually quite often and thanks to all these nice IDEs and their rename feature this is usually no problem. From time to time names of classes change, name of field change, yes, they are often even completely rewritten, new field variables come in some are deleted, whatever it is. The way I currently can access the name of a class makes the code safer, because when I consequently go with Class.class.getSimpleName I always know, that when I rename the class all these statements are changed too If I delete such a class, I at least get a compile error.
My very simple issues is, that I think it would be nice to have the same comfort not only on a class level but also on the level of field variables, nothing more, nothing less.
To be honest, I have not browsed the forum yet if such an issue was already raised by other people (I will do this now), but somehow it is hard to imagine, that I am the first one.
Best regards.

RE: Customized Auditing of Data base Tables

Dear experts
I really need your help.
We have a requirement to do auditing on customized Data Base tables. I know there is a tick in the table to keep a log and you can then use SCU3 to check it. But this uses alot of resources that we can not afford. We need to design our own customized table to update any data changes to any of our customized tables.
Now we need this table to show us the user. the date and time, the old value of the field, the new value of the field, the field name, and the table name. However there will also be a report to check who changed, edited added or deleted what entries on any of the customized tables. So my problem is that when updating my customized table that holds the data. The logical flow of data does not make sense. Please see example below;
Z_SELLING_PRICE Table (the client does not want to use standard pricing that is why we use customized tables)
MANDT         MATNR        PRICE         VALID_TO       VALID_FROM          CURRRENCY
100               TYRES         200             20100201        20100228               ZAR   - (user changes price to 100)
100               TYPES         250             20100301        20100331               ZAR   - (user changes valid_to to 20100302)
100               RIMS            150             20100301        20100331               ZAR
Z_AUDIT Table
MANDT       TABLE                      FIELD           OLDVALUE              NEWVALUE          CHANGE_TYPE   USER       DATE         TIME
100             Z_SELLING_PRICE   PRICE           200                           100                       Modified               PETER     20100202   121216
100             Z_SELLING_PRICE   VALID_TO   20100301                  20100302            Modified               JANE       20100301   154553
My problem here is how will my report know that the price (for example) that was changed wat the price changed on Types as suppose to rims?
Maby my logic is too complicated. And if i save all the fields regardless if they were changed so that my report of this table (Z_AUDIT) can make logical sense. how will i know what the logical flow of field names is to be combined to make up the record that was changed.
Please help.
Kind regards

Hey Thomas
Thanks for your quick response. Yes the resourses (in my opinion would probably be the same) but unfortunatly we have a couple of basis consultants that convinced the business other wise. I get the idee that they are carefull of the fact that if they open the system to this function and someone adds a log to a standard table that the system might not have suffiecient memory.
So business decided that they wil not take this "risk" and asked the ABAP team to design our own updates.
Another option that was presented was to add a USER DATE and TIME Field to every Customized table that needs to have logging on. But in some cases we cannot allow for duplicate keys and if i make these fields keys the logic behind that will be bypassed as the same user can then enter a "duplicate key" the next day because it is not seen as a duplicate entry in the DB because the date would then differ.
So by adding a section to the user exit behind SM30 and calling the same function module (that has to stil be written) we will be able to do this "the ABAP" way. I was just wondering if there is (hopefully) someone that had a similiar situation so that we can maby duplicate the logic.??
Kind regards

Avik

Hi Avin,
you must have created a project in CMOD for this enhancement.
Go to the same project in CMOD.
Select Componenets radio button on cmod and go inside.
you will find Menu exit option on the coponenet screen.
double click on function code like +Co1( in prod order) and enter function text as your desired name instead of customer data. save the same and activate the project.
it should make required chnages.

Can we change the lengh of a field in thestandard database tables using dat

Hi Experts,
I've a doubt in Data dictionary. can we modify the length of the field in data base tables using stanadrd table.
My requirement is add customer data to business are field. but the lengh of business area field is 4 chars.and the customer field length is 10.So in sap note i've found a solution is there a table call replacement of business area(FLQGSBER_SUBST).in this first we've append the customer field to this table.then the structure of business area should be modified.
can we modify the length of the standard table field?
its an urjent issue
reward points for helpful answers
thanks in advance

Rekha

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
But there is solution i've found in SAP note is 'There is a standard table for business area called "FLQGSBER_SUBST" Replacement of business area.In this table we've to append the field.for ex here we've append the customer (kunnr) and
the field business area field has no data. when we append the customer field then the data in customer field updated in business area field.when i've tried this
and when execute this.in debugging the businee area updated with 4 chars only.
it didnt take 10 chars(kunnr).
is it possible...

How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in af:query

Hi,
How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in <af:query>?
Say i have 20 fields in my table and i created a view criteria with 2 fields. It would work perfectly in Basic mode. But in the Advanced mode all other fields selection is possible on clicking the ADD Fields button. I did not want the client to make a search with all 20 fields. Only 10 fields are to be listed in the Advanced Mode even though there are 20 fields in my table.
How do i control the list of fields in ADDFields button?
Any ideas?
KR

You can uncheck the Querable property of the attributes which you need not show up in the Advanced Mode (but they will not show up in other modes too !) or programatically set the same as mentioned here -
http://adfcodebits.blogspot.com/2010/11/bit-27-setting-view-object-attributes.htmlAlso you can hide the AddFields button as suggested here - http://www.notjustjava.com/2011/12/cool-tips-to-showhide-components-of-the-query-control-of-adf/

How To Increase the Size of Memo Fields 4000 Char in WebCenter 11g?

How To Increase the Size of Memo Fields greater than 4000 Char in WebCenter Content (UCM) 11g?
I was able to increase the size of Memo field from 2000 Char to 4000 by setting parameter value MEMOFIELDSIZE=4000 . But the requirement is to increase the size more than 4000 around 7000 char but Database(Oracle 11G) is not supporting more than 4000 char.
Is there any other way to increase the size of Memo field?
Thanks in Advance!!
Regards
Ram

Hello All,
Thanks for your responses.
Let me explain the scenario again in detail:
1. we have three meta-data fileds xProductCategory,xProductFamily and xProducts
2. These fields are related with DCL feature and corresponding values are being stored in corresponding custom Views
3. xProducFamily is dependent of xProductCategory and xProduct is dependent on xProductFamily
4. currently, there are around 250 Product values and average name of Product can be of 25 Char, so if we are selecting all product values for some Contents then Product Values are being stored in DocMeta table as comma separated values with one space, so total characters are being very high than 4K Char.
5. Currently view that is storing the Product values, stores "Name" column instead of ID(like 1,2,3....)
6. And our Content Server is integrated with Oracle WebSenter Portal, where logic has written to retrieve the contents based on "Product Name" instead of "Product ID" and already we are in UAT phase.Currently we are not in situation to revert the changes from Product Name to Product ID.
7. Also if we are storing the values on the basis of Product ID, then again the issue may arise in Future, if the number of Products increased.
Hoping the issue explanation is clear now and waiting for some possible solution for increasing the length of memo field.
Thanks in Advance !!

Ram

How to control the size of Database's image

How to grow the report of customer's openitem with sales order

How to grow the report of customer's open item with sales order?
Now we can get the customer's open item with invoice No easily,but our end user need the the customer's open item also with sales order .And because a invoice to multi sales orders. I can do nothing.
Now I have a idea that a develivey No with one sales order , and one invoice with a sales order's develivery ,then one inovice to one sales order . I want to know if other company have use this idea. Or have other solution for my problem.

Hi Yuzhou Yang ,
Yes you are right. In FI transaction you can get the sales invoice wise , reference field of the header data.
As you are aware that while creating a sales order , no FI entry is generated.
In my opinion you can get the required report through customization.
Thanks
