How to extract meta data of documents from SAP R/3

dear all,
i`am working in aproject where we connect the documents for SAP R/3 applications.we maintain our own repository for that purpose.it may be in bound or out bound according to customer needs.the meata data related to the documents is stored in SAP.our requirement now is to have that metadata available in our repository .can any one guide me how to write ABAP code for extracting meata data from SAP and enable even nonSAP users to have the access for the documents.
thanks in advance
ravi

Hi,
One way to do this is probably set a connection between SAP Database and an external database and store the meta data into external database from where a non-sap user will have an eccess to the data.
Steps required are :
1. we have to involve basis team also in that.
2. they will make one entry
in DBCON table
(that entry will point to secondary database/external database)
(suppose the name of this secondary connection is HRCON)
3. Also they will make connection string
in application server.
4. After that,
we should have
the table definition in SAP dd dictionary
and also
the same defintion
in the external database.
5. now in abap code,
we have to use like this.
DATA: mydbcon(30) TYPE c.
mydbcon = 'HRCON'.
INSERT ydev_msg_cur CONNECTION (mydbcon)
FROM msg_cur .
<b>Hope this helps.
Please mark helpful answer.</b>

import javax.xml.message.*;
Iterator allAttachments = message.getAttachments();
AttachmentPart ap1 = null;
while(allAttachments.hasNext()){
ap1 = (AttachmentPart)allAttachments.next();
//Check that the attachment is correct one. By looking at its mime headers
//Convert the attachment part into its DOM representation:
if(ap1.getContentType() == "text/xml"){
//Use the activation dataHandler class to extract the content, then create a StreamSource from
//the content.
DataHandler attachmentContent = ap1.getDataHandler();
StreamSource attachmentStream = new StreamSource(attachmentContent.getInputStream());
DOMResult domAttachment = getDOMResult(attachmentStream);
domAttachment holds an xml representation of the attachment.

How to delete master data of materials from sap tables

how to delete master data of materials from sap tables...its needed now.
i know its not recommended but still we need to do this. give me the best possible approach.
regards,
suneetha

Hi,
I would suggest you not to write your own code to delete the entries.
BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE, this would mark all materials selected for deletion. But still the material would exist in SAP.
Another solution: Delete a material manually and in another session execute the transaction SM04. This would display the tables which get locked when you do the operation, Then you can write your own code to delete the material numbers from all the related tables.

How to script to Print a document from SAP Business One SDK

I have created a project using UDO, Form and User table using B1DE2005.
I wonder how can i program to print a document from my screen. something like Sales Order, where user can click on Print Preview button and it will print the sales order confirmation preview..
KC

Where do you want to execute this print/print preview? Inside Sales Order?
If that is the case use the print event, now if you have your own form and is separate of any of the SAP B1 system forms, then you will have to use the menu event and evaluate when they have press the print button (which you also probably will have to make sure that is active).

How to handle empty Dats field received from SAP RFC response

Hi All,
I am invoking a SAP RFC which gives me a Dats field in response.
A valid dats fields is successfully received by my pipelines.
But when an empty Dats field is received, My pipeline fails and i get error.
How to handle the empty Dats field from SAP

Hi Anant,
This is because the legacy SAP adapter accepted RFC messages with date field empty. In the new version, the same call results in an error. WCF-SAP adapter doesn't allow blank XML nodes.
You need to use the below custom pipeline component as a workaround.
Refer:
Pipeline component for enabling legacy behavior in WCF-SAP adapter.

How to extract current user SQL password from SAP

I have an external exe that needs to connect via ADO to the currently running SAP application using the current user.
I used the SAPbobsCOM.Company object to extract the
CompanyDB , Server ,DbUserName and Password to create my ADO connection string. But obviously the password is encrypted and (when I debug.print gives me ****) is not useful.
Does anyone know how to get this password through the SDK?
Thanks,
Indika.

Hi,
I've already asked about it. No way. Simply forget.
You can ask for password for the first time and store it in the database or in the registry.

How to handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?

Hi, Gurus.
I am working on IFbA with ABAP and Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
I've developed a function module in R/3 system and created webservice, connected the WSDL address to the form. The problem is how can i handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?
It's Ok if i bind the dataconnection node to the form element, but how can i handle data without binding to the form element? I mean that how can i use the data retrieved from Webserivce in the Javascript, please give me some sample code or script method.
Thanks.

Hi Yang,
If you are using Web Service, then the binding will be done automatically.
It can't grow automatically, what else should i do to achieve this?
1.Select the table(make sure you are not selecting subform) in Hierarchy view
2. Under table select the Row which is having the required fileds for data
3. In the Binding of that row, check the checkbox "Repeat Row for each item data" and under that check the Min Count which will set the default row **** to 1

2LIS_03_BX- Initial Stock/Material stock
2LIS_03_BF - Material movements
2LIS_03_UM - Revaluations/Find the price of the stock
The first DataSource (2LIS_03_BX) is used to extract an opening stock balance on a
detailed level (material, plant, storage location and so on). At this moment, the opening
stock is the operative stock in the source system. "At this moment" is the point in time at
which the statistical setup ran for DataSource 2LIS_03_BX. (This is because no
documents are to be posted during this run and so the stock does not change during this
run, as we will see below). It is not possible to choose a key date freely.
The second DataSource (2LIS_03_BF) is used to extract the material movements into
the BW system. This DataSource provides the data as material documents (MCMSEG
structure).
The third of the above DataSources (2LIS_03_UM) contains data from valuated
revaluations in Financial Accounting (document BSEG). This data is required to update
valuated stock changes for the calculated stock balance in the BW. This information is
not required in many situations as it is often only the quantities that are of importance.
This DataSource only describes financial accounting processes, not logistical ones. In
other words, only the stock value is changed here, no changes are made to the
quantities. Everything that is subsequently mentioned here about the upload sequence
and compression regarding DataSource 2LIS_03_BF also applies to this DataSource.
This means a detailed description is not required for the revaluation DataSource.

In the 3rd party WPF application drop handler get the slide data (text, background image, etc...).
When I do this I get the DragEventArgs Data (the clipboard data) and it has the 20 supported formats I listed in the 1st post. From these formats #4 seemed like it could have some useful info.

How to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details

how to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details screenshots

Hi
Go through the below process to extract Master Data Attribute from R/3
Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.
