How to handle source empty field in FDM maps

Dear all,
In our projects, data was extracted from EBS with ERPi adapters to HFM through FDM. In this case, some source fields are empty after the data extraction from EBS. The problem is, how can I deal with the empty field in the maps. For now, the workaround is using wildcard (like *->[None]), sth like that. But there is a risk in it, it may happen to ignore some records with error. Do your guys know any special characters stand for the Null in the mapping?
Thanks!

We have had a workaround solution since moving to V11. This was not a problem in System 9.
The issue with blanks not defaulting to [None] is that some values escape the test. Such as forcing default values using "Like (* = [None])". If a new code is in your data that is not in your map, the Validation process foiled since [None] is valid and all blanks are now [None]. Only then do you either have an intersection violation that shows up during Export or you get bad data in HFM.
I don't like this new "feature" in S11 FDM. We will be submitting a request to have the default functionality added back. Perhaps as an option?

How to avoid Line Items(fields) in BAPI mapping.

Hi
Does any body help me for mapping between header and line items in BAPI..
my scenario is filerfcmail(wokflow)!
File is CSV based :
(ex: 001150,,1123,JERM,08122006,,,
,,,ANN,,01082006,
If you look at example csv file , there is some fields mixed with header and line items. But in RFC header can be 1 to 1 and line item should be 0 to Unbound.
Now my problem is if I sent above example csv file as source :
The payload coming like this(sxmb_moni) :
</HEADERDATA>
- <GLACCOUNTDATA>
- <item>
<COSTCENTER />
<PROFIT_CTR />
</item>
- <item>
<GL_ACCOUNT>738100</GL_ACCOUNT>
<ITEM_AMOUNT>60000</ITEM_AMOUNT>
<COMP_CODE>001150</COMP_CODE>
<ITEM_TEXT>*777-8030-861</ITEM_TEXT>
<COSTCENTER>7320</COSTCENTER>
<PROFIT_CTR>7320</PROFIT_CTR>
<ALLOC_NMBR />
</item>
- <item>
<GL_ACCOUNT>738100</GL_ACCOUNT>
<ITEM_AMOUNT>40000</ITEM_AMOUNT>
<COMP_CODE>001151</COMP_CODE>
<ITEM_TEXT>*777-8030-861</ITEM_TEXT>
<COSTCENTER>6010</COSTCENTER>
<PROFIT_CTR>6010</PROFIT_CTR>
<ALLOC_NMBR />
</item>
<item />
</GLACCOUNTDATA>
You can find there is one more item coming after headerdata with null values. It means map reading first line and one by one , if any field found in rows which belogs to GLAccount(Line item), then it writing one more item after headerdata with that fields only.
Remainig GLAccount data coming as per map after the item .
Can you tell me how to avoid extra line items.
Thanks,
Sankar

Yes, It exist..
I cross checked ..with out givig fileds and giving some fields...its writing another items in after headerdata tag.
hope you understand , what my problem..
See: GLACCOUNTDATA under subnode
item is 0 to unbound in BAPI side, because of this its reading all rows , and if find any field which belongs to GLAccount , then it writing another item tag after headerr data.
Thnaks,
Sankar

** How to get Source File Name thru XSLT Mapping

Hi friends,
We require source file name after message processing (SXMB_MONI) in the output structure. We understad from Forums and blog 2664, this is possible thru UDF - DynamicConfiguration class. This UDF will work if we use message mapping. But, in our case we are using XSLT mapping. So, how do we call the same from Java Pacakage ? (Imported Archives). For writing java class separately, what are the changes to be made in the program?
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Kindly reply, friends.
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi,
This is the example in this similar manner u have to call the method in which u have to write the code for picking the source file name.
<name>
   <xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:concat')">
    <xsl:value-of select="javamap:concat($first, $last, $inputparam)"/>

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 handle Custom field added in BP : Role Bill Account

Hi Friends,
I am working on an interface which creates Bill Account role for a BP but the problem is there are about 15 Custom fields added to standard BP transaction in BA role.
As I am using BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 for creating the BP and
BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE for changing the BP role Bill Account?
Can anyone tell me how to handle those custom fields in the existing BAPIs or there is some other way of doing it?
Thanks in advance,
Pradeep
Note : Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Hi,
I have seen these BAPIs but are they used with normal BAPIs for BP creation and change.
For example : I create the BP using BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 and for the Custom fields I should use these BAPIs as suggested by you alongwith the create BAPI.
And will it work for Changing the BP also.
Kindly clarify.
Regards,
Pradeep

How to populate a custom field of a Std. SAP Tx with BAPI usage 2 Load data

Hi Experts,
For instance, I created a custom field (say, custom_field_1) on a screen of standard SAP tx(say, ME21N) by using screen exit. And in order to populate the data into it (custom_field_1), will use the Function user exits of this Tx(ME23N).
1) In next step, Where Where I have to add this field, apart from appending the same custom field in EKKO/EKPO table or any other related table; Extending the corresponding IDOC or creating a new Custom ÍDOC type? like What about BAPI?
2) If I got a text file with the data (including the data for this custom_field_1 too) and I have been asked to load it into SAP, then, I decided to use BAPI (say, BAPI_PO_CREATE or CREATE1) to create the data, So, How to handle this custom field, I mean, In which BAPI structure I have to pass this custom_field_1 data? ( Iguess, for some BAPIs EXTENSIONIN structures are provided, sorry if am wrong!)
Thank you.
Edited by: SAP ABAPer on Feb 21, 2009 7:40 PM

for example if you added field in the VBAP table then you can pass the custome field values like below
     move 'BAPE_VBAP' to lwa_extension-structure.
      lwa_bape_vbap-vbeln = lwa_final-vbeln.
      lwa_bape_vbap-posnr = lv_posnr.
      move lwa_final-yyslotid to lwa_bape_vbap-new custome field.
      move lwa_bape_vbap to lwa_extension-valuepart1.
      append lwa_extension to lt_extension.
      clear lwa_extension.
      move 'BAPE_VBAPX' to lwa_extension-structure.
      lwa_bape_vbapx-vbeln = lwa_final-vbeln.
      lwa_bape_vbapx-posnr = lv_posnr.
      move 'X' to lwa_bape_vbapx--new custome field.
      move lwa_bape_vbapx to lwa_extension-valuepart1.
      append lwa_extension to lt_extension.
      clear lwa_extension.
call function 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
        exporting
          salesdocument    = strcture
          order_header_inx = strcture
        tables
          order_item_in    =strcture
          order_item_inx   = strcture
          schedule_lines   = strcture
          schedule_linesx = strcture
          extensionin      = lt_extension.

Missing start boundary exception, caused by an empty Part, how to handle?

Hello,
i wrote an application that automatically handles mails from laboratories. The only essential part of the mail is the attachment, where chemical analyses are submitted (from permitted addresses, recognized by whitelist and fileheader of the attachment). Other ways to submit data weren't allowed.
Currently a mail was received that can't be parsed. It's from a laboratory, that
use its provider's (a german internet suplier named Arcor) webmail, a browser-based mailing portal. It always worked fine, because they wrote some greetings. But this time they sent a blank message. The result is following structure of the mail:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396"
//Some X-Flags
------=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="*----=_Part_50111_24141780.1203586767396*"
------=_Part_50111_24141780.1203586767396--
------=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=somefile.bin
ABCDEF.... //Some binary data
------=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396--
It seems the webmailer creates an empty mailpart and only writes the end boundary (Line: ------=_Part_50111_24141780.1203586767396--).
I know, the start boundary is really missing.
I checked it out by getting a mailaccount from Arcor, and it always creates this structure when sending a message without a text. By the way, the Message-ID (header) generated from Arcor's server seems to be from javamail. (.....1234.567890.....JavaMail.ngmail@....).
I don't know how many mailclients create "empty" parts, but impossible is nothing (e.g. other or future webmailer services).
But how to handle?
The error occures when calling MimeMultipart.getCount(), which causes to parse the mail if not parsed. All actions, which cause the mail to be parsed, will end in this exception (for this mail).
I looked at the javamail source and found out, that the line of the empty part is not recognized as a boundary, because of its ending delimiters:
if (line.equals(boundary))
break;
So the boundary is added to the preamble. It goes on with reading lines from the stream, until line == null.
if (line == null)
throw new MessagingException("Missing start boundary");
Because there is no test, if the line matches the end boundary, it's not recognized. Wouldn't it be better in this case, to add an empty bodypart and set a variable to false (e.g. complete) instead of throwing an exception? Because MimeMultipart.parse() is called by other methods, like getCount, getBodyPart and writeTo, I can't nearly do anything automatically with the mail. How should i walk through the bodyparts and fetch the parts I'm interested in?
Subclassing seems to be difficult to me:
Object content = message.getContent();
//javax.mail.Message, won't return a subclassed multipart
if (content instanceof Multipart) {
//recursive method!
handleMultipart((Multipart) content); //collecting parts from multipart
Of course, I could ask the laboratory: "please send me a greeting!" ;-)
Greetings,
cliff

Interesting.
Yes, it's probably a bug that JavaMail allows you to
create a multipart with no body parts, since the
MIME specification doesn't allow that. Still, the
webmail application should be fixed so that it doesn't
try to do that, at least including an empty plain text
body part.
Please contact the webmail provider and tell them of
this bug in their application.
I'll also look into making JavaMail cope with these
broken messages more gracefully. Contact me
at [email protected] and I'll let you know when
I have a version ready to test.

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 check which Table & Field is populating Data source

Hi,
My requirment is to check from which Table and Which field the data is extracted in the data source
Data Source : 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
Field in Data Source : MINBE
Now i want to check from where (Table/Field) in R/3 is populating the Field MINBE in Data source 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
How can i do that

Hi,
Since you have the extract structure and the extractor, you can try Extractor Checker RSA3.Execute ST05 (activating SQL Trace), switch on the trace and execute the extractor checker. Once the extractor checker presents the results
switch off trace. The clcik on Display trace and you will see all the tables that were hit by the extractor checker to retrieve data and present it to you.
Note: Set the break point in the Extractor Function module.
View the ST05 Extended Trace list. The Object name shows the Tables accessed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to handle empty file using sftp adapter

Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
Enivass

Hi Enivaas,
I don't have the seeburger sftp adapter at hand at the moment, but asfar as I remember, this does not specifically have an empty-file handling option like the standard ftp adapter.
So to stop emtyp files from being written, guess would need to handle this at the mapping level. For example, check for target creation criteria in the header node in mapping. If the creation criteria is not met, you can throw an error in mapping.
You may also incorporate this condition in your Receiver determination. In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, no receiver is determined in PI.

How to Handle Empty Files

Hi Experts,
I am doing File to File Scenario.
If my Sender systems file is Empty , that means there is no Records in the File .
How to Handle Empty Files ??????????
I want to know For both Sender and As wel as Receiver Adapters
Please Let me know..
Regards
Khanna

See if u are having a sender file adapter and the file is empty u can tell the if it has to 'Process the empty file' or 'Skip the empty file processing'.
Similarly if you have a message to going to your Receiver file adapter and the message is empty then you can decide still if you want to create a 'File with empty records' or skip creating the same.

How to handle comma separated values in OLE DB Source query for a parameter variable from XML file in SSIS

Hi,
I am using OLE DB Source to fetch the records with Data Access Mode as SQL COMMAND which is using the below query with a parameter,
SELECT CON.Title,CON.FirstName,EMP.MaritalStatus,EMP.Gender,EMP.Title AS Designation, EMP.HireDate, EMP.BirthDate,CON.EmailAddress, CON.Phone
from HumanResources.Employee EMP INNER JOIN Person.Contact CON ON EMP.ContactID=CON.ContactID WHERE EMP.Title in (?)
In this query for the parameter I am passing the value from a variable and which is configured (XML Configuration). While passing value
Buyer it works correctly. But while passing values Accountant,Buyer
it is not working as expected.
How to handle while passing such multiple values Or is it possible to pass such values or not in SSIS 2012 ?
Kindly help me to find a solution.
NOTE: I placed the whole query in a variable as a expression as below it is working fine.
"select CON.Title,CON.FirstName,EMP.MaritalStatus,EMP.Gender,EMP.Title AS Designation,EMP.HireDate,EMP.BirthDate,CON.EmailAddress,CON.Phone from HumanResources.Employee EMP
INNER JOIN Person.Contact CON ON EMP.ContactID=CON.ContactID WHERE EMP.Title in ('" + REPLACE(@[User::temp],",","','") +"')"
Any other solution is there ? without placing the query in a variable. May be a variable can have some limitations for no. of characters stored not sure just a thought.
Sridhar

Putting the whole thing into a variable is certainly a valid solution. The other involves putting the comma delimited list into a table valued variable.
