How to create a LOV for a parameter in a Discoverer workbook

How can I create a LOV's for a parameter in a Discoverer Workbook?

Hello
If the item you are basing the parameter on already has a list of values then the list will automatically be displayed.
If you are creating a generic parameter, probably using the <None> link, or you are basing the parameter on an item in a folder that does not have a list of values then there is no way to get one.
You can create lists of values based on items in a custom folder but then you still need to associate the LOV with an item. However with a little ingenuity and thinking ahead you can actually get LOVs for just about every parameter, just ensure the parameter is based on an item and not using <None>
Hope this helps

How to create a LOV for a ESS Job Parameter

Hi,
I have an ESS job and for one of the parameter , I want to provide users to select from the static List of values.
What is the easiest possible approach and how to achieve that.
Thanks in Advance,
Ankit

Sorry I missed it somehow. So, assuming currently the job parameter is a text box. Here, is what you can do.
1. Create a new Fusion application with a model project in it. Then Create a new view object with data based on static values type in the JDeveloper.
2. Create a new Fusion Applications Customization Application based on the exploded EAR
3. Open the page you want to change by customize option and then keep a note of the current binding value from the ess parameter inputText and then delete this field from UI.
4. Shuttle the newly created vo in the AM used for this page. For this to be available you will need to add your project created in step 1 as a library to the Customization application.
5. Now expand the data controls and drop the attribute from the VO as a LOV on your page and copy the value binding from the deleted field to this one.
Please note that the above approach should work but I have not personally tried or tested it. Also you will need to go through the extensibility guide for setting up your environment, to understand the customization process, and deploying it to test. Extensibility guide can be found [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/fusionapps.1111/e16691/toc.htm]

Create a LOV for parameters in development tools

Hi,
I found a way to create a LOV for a parameter using PL/SQL developer.
The code is as followed:
select * from account_hier t
where t.level_a LIKE &<name="Level A"
hint="Level A"
type="string"
default="%"
ifempty="%"
list="select distinct level_a,level_a from account_hier"
description="yes"
>
and t.level_b LIKE &<name="Level B"
hint="Level B"
type="string"
default="%"
ifempty="%"
list="select distinct level_b,level_b from account_hier where level_a = :level_a"
description="yes"
>
It works beautifully but my question is whether something like this can be applied using TOAD (I'm using 9.7.2).
How can I define a LOV for the parameters in the parameters window?
Thanks

Hi,
How are we supposed to know a) what your code is actually doing and
When running this code in PL/SQL developer when the parameters will popup for population you'll see that there is a list of values for the parameters.I (and many others of us) don't have PL/SQL developer. It's a 3rd party tool, not part of Oracle. Therefore we can't run the code to see what it does.
b) how to achieve that on some other 3rd party tool?
That's exactly my question, How can (if at all) I do the same with TOAD ?Based on your description, I'm not sure if TOAD supports such things. It sounds like something specific to PL/SQL developer.
LOV's are not something in SQL or PL/SQL, so your question does not make sense.If you'll create similer code than you'll understand that LOV can be defined in PL/SQL developer tool in the SQL editor.Only if we have PL/SQL developer. Which we don't.
To make it easier try to run the following code:
select 'Example' from dual
where 'field11' LIKE &<name="LOV A"
hint="Choose a value for field1"
type="string"
default="field11"
ifempty="field11"
list="select distinct 'field11','field11' from dual union all select distinct 'field12','field12' from dual"
description="yes"
*>*
*;*I can't.
To clarify my question once more:
If a sql is running under TOAD and that code have parameters the parameters window will pop once the code is executed.
I would like to know whether I can define a LOV for the parameters.I've never come across this in TOAD.

Hi Frank,
This is the method i wrote in the managed Bean. It works when I hard code the department value to some value(like 10).
public List<SelectItem> getEmployeeList() {
int Deptid = 10;
ArrayList<SelectItem> employees = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
employees.add(new SelectItem("0", "--Select Employee---"));
try {
Connection con = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps =
con.prepareStatement("select name from employees where department_id = ?");
ps.setInt(1, Deptid);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
employees.add(new SelectItem(rs.getString("name")));
rs.close();
ps.close();
con.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
return employees;
How can I pass the row Department Id to this method in the f:selectItems?
I really appreciate your help in resolving this issue.
Thanks

How to create transaction code for maintenance view

hai friends,
i hope every thing goes good.
i have doubt, how to create transaction code for maintenance view. I created view for tranperant table and now i want to create transaction code for the view.
i tried and i donot know the screen number and program name and where can i give the view name.
if any one know please post in details.
thanks in advance.

Hi Elam,
You need to create a "Parameter Transaction".
What this means is that you will have a transaction (let's call it "ZMAINT") which calls "SM30" and passes in your table name.
Go to transaction SE93 and enter your new transaction code. Enter in the Tcode description and choose "Transaction with Parameters" (it shouldbe the last radio button).
Enter in the default transaction "SM30" and tick the "Skip Initial Screen" check box. Hit Enter.
Now scroll to the bottom of the screen and you will see a Table Control where you will need to enter in the values to the SM30 selection screen.
Because you hit ENTER, the program will have loaded in the Selection Screen parameters into it's memory. Hit the drop down for "Name of Screen Field" and select "VIEWNAME" and then enter in your Z Table in the "Value" column.
Now go to the next line and hit the drop down and select "UPDATE" in the "Name of Screen Field". Enter in a "X" in the value column.
Now save the transaction and there you have it.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pat.

How to create authorisation object for save button please help in abap

how to create authorisation object for save button please help in abap

Hi
In general different users will be given different authorizations based on their role in the orgn.
We create ROLES and assign the Authorization and TCODES for that role, so only that user can have access to those T Codes.
USe SUIM and SU21 T codes for this.
Much of the data in an R/3 system has to be protected so that unauthorized users cannot access it. Therefore the appropriate authorization is required before a user can carry out certain actions in the system. When you log on to the R/3 system, the system checks in the user master record to see which transactions you are authorized to use. An authorization check is implemented for every sensitive transaction.
If you wish to protect a transaction that you have programmed yourself, then you must implement an authorization check.
This means you have to allocate an authorization object in the definition of the transaction.
For example:
program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/67167f439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
Authorization : An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'
ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE E...
ENDIF.
'S_TRVL_BKS' is a auth. object
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02' in place 2 you can put 1,2, 3 for change create or display.
The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.
This Authorization concept is somewhat linked with BASIS people.
As a developer you may not have access to access to SU21 Transaction where you have to define, authorizations, Objects and for nthat object you assign fields and values. Another Tcode is PFCG where you can assign these authrization objects and TCodes for a profile and that profile in turn attached to a particular user.
Take the help of the basis Guy and create and use.

ANJI

How to create dependent LOVs

Hi all,
Does anyone know how I can create a LOV with values dependent on the LOV value selected from the one above when defining a custom item?
For example, I have defined a custom item which has 2 attributes with 2 LOVs:
attribute1 - LOV1
attribute2 - LOV2
I would like to populate LOV2 depending on what value the user selects in LOV1, is this possible?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create dependant lovs and use them only in the forms component. Here is how you create dependant lovs
lov1
select empno,ename
where deptno = :dept
Creating a LOV with a bind variable makes it a dependant lov. In forms you should map the bind variable to one of the form columns.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to create custom infotype for training and event management

hai freinds can any one tell me how to create custom infotype for training and event managment with following fields
PS No PA0000-> PERNR
Name - PA0001 -> ENAME
IS PS.No. PA0001-> PS no. of Immediate Superior
IS name PA0001 -> ENAME
thanx in advance
afzal

Hi,
Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
