How to influence customer order (VA01) article search results

Hey Gurus!
We're running ECC 5.0 for retail and we have a business request to change the standard search within the ECC create/modify sales order (VA01/VA02) so that when a user searches for an article that the only articles that are returned that match the search criteria have inventory in the site.
I've been looking for a badi or user exit specifically to affect the results of a search within the sales order functionality but I can't see to find one. Can you point me in the right direction, or let me know if something like this is available?
If not, where would I insert a custom enhancement to make this work (i.e. which standard program would require modification)?
Thanks,
Don

Hello Don
I don't have Retail knowledge or system ( with me) to help you.
But in standard ERP, you can set up new search help or match codes for materials and assortments.
IMG Path:
Materials
SPRO/IMG/Logistics - General/Material Master/Tools/Maintain Search Helps
Assortments
SPRO/IMG/Logistics - General/Assortment/Assortment/Matchcodes, Assortments
I am sure you will have similar search helps in Retail IS also for Articles.
Having said that, Search Helps are usually for static master data fields like Material Group, Product Hierarchy, class etc. and I am not sure if it will be easy to build a search help for a dynamic piece of information like availability of stock.
In any case work with Basis/ABAP teams while building new, custom search helps.
Hope this helps.

How to add custom user field in search result page

Hi,
I want to display user defined field values in search users result page. For example, I am having USR_UDF_SSN user defined field. Now if i search users, the resultant table should display the default OOTB values (USER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, STATUS) and USR_UDF_SSN value.
We are using OIM 9.1.
- Kalyan Mutya.

You can't add this without having the source code. And on another note, i would highly suggest you DO NOT display a user's SSN unless you are in the HR system. These values should always be encrypted in OIM or you might have some bigger issues of private data being accessible.

Add custom properties to People Search Results

Good morning,
I am trying to include some custom properties to our Search Results. These are the steps I have followed so far:
Create User Profile Service Property and sync to AD. The property is populated for different users.
Run full crawl
Create managed property on the Schema, and map this to the crawled property
Created a new version of the Item_Person.html template and changed its title.
Upload to the Display Templates gallery, and created a new Result Type with this as its template
Added the new property to the mso:ManagedPropertyMapping tag
Went to Search Result Types, and selected "Update" on the Property Sync alert
On the new template, the new property appears on the object ctx.CurrentItem, but its value is null.
Am I missing something? Tried running full crawl and incremental crawl. Even tried removing the index first.

Hi,
Please try to add custom properties using Central Admin.

Problem when creating a customer order (VA01)

I'm trying to create a customer order to sell a material which has serial no. I use transaction VA01.when i wrote the serial no of the material that gives an error "the serial no doesn't exist in SNUM".when i checked that table, i saw that there is no data. Probably some missing or mistake about customizing.
Does anyone have any idea, what should i do???
Thanks...

Create serial number profile in <b>T.code: OIS2</b> and
Please Assign the serial number profile to the material master (Sales orgn/plant data) present in the sales order. Then recreate the order.this solves your problem.

Do you want to provide the items as array, a table?
Create a user-defined data type with a single column.
Develop a procedure with a table variable as an input parameter.
Declare a table variable of the type of the user defined data type.
Loading 10 records into the table variable and pass the table
variable to the stored procedure.
create type tt_example AS TABLE
(spid int)
go
create procedure usp_example
@spids tt_example READONLY
AS
SELECT *
FROM @spids
GO
declare @spids tt_example
insert into @spids

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,
Partha

How can I reduce the width between search results and the preview fly-out?

Hello, I am using a custom masterpage that reduces the overall width of page content but I am seeing an issue with my enterprise search site. The search results look fine but there is a large horizontal gap between the results and document preview window
(when mousing over a word/excel/powerpoint result). This means that the preview fly-out is hardly visible unless the user scrolls horizontally to the right. Can someone tell me how to set a reduced width between the results web part and the preview window?
Example:

I think the issue is with the Callout orientation, have you customized the page and if so then you can customize the callout.
check "beakOrientation" and you can set values like topBottom, leftRight as per your requirement.

How do I change color of hyperlink search results in WebHelp Pro?

I'm trying to figure out how to change the color of search result hyperlinks when using WebHelp Pro in RH8. The links currently are vibrant blue and purple after clicked on. I can't find anywhere in the style sheet or in the skin editor options to define this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your .css file, use something like the following; the "A:" would be your default link, and the "A.topic:" would be a different class of link (we use it for some in-topic navigation links). Note that the order in which the qualifiers appear is important. Follow the LoVeHate method (Link, Visited, Hover).
Feel free to try it and use your own combinations (you might not want the expanded letter-spacing, for example). We also reversed the underline format from the default html (none for link and visited, underline for hover).
A:link,
A:visited {
color: #0000CD;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: none;
A:hover {
color: #000080;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: underline;
You would add the class=topic qualifier to your links for this class of link (a class=topic href="targettopic.htm")
A.topic:link,
A.topic:visited {
color: #0000CD;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: none;
A.topic:hover {
color: #000080;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
margin-left: 10px;
text-decoration: underline;
Good luck,

How to determine target for links in search results

I've created an autoquery custom search portlet.
The search results are by default showed is this portlet.
The text items which are found display a link to their content.
When clicked, the content is showed in a style different from the page on which the portlet was placed, and at full screen.
How can I force the content to display on a page of which I can determine the style and layout?
Thanks,
Ton

Unfortunately there's no way to do this directly at the moment although this functionality is planned for a future release.
However, its possible to acheive the same effect by using procedures associated with the Text item type.
To learn more about this, navigate to the Shared Objects page group, click on "Item Types" and edit the "Text" item type. Click on the "Procedures" tab. The help on the screen has information about creating custom procedures to render information associated with the item.
Also see a Body text in custom search results to this forum.

How can an artist show as a search result yet not exist in the artist list?

I'm trying to import music from the My Music folder on my computer. I followed the steps outlined in the iTunes tutorial. When I search for the song, the artist and album show as search results, but the song does not. When I follow the link from the search to the artist, iTunes goes to the artist list, and the one I am looking for is not in that list- where does the song go when I upload it into iTunes? And how can the artist show up in a search result as existing in Music, but not actually be in the artist list?

Hi IWolbers,
>>I have a recurring problem where all of a sudden I can no longer see the values of my variables when I debug my unit tests. I cannot find a pattern as to when this happens but I experience this across one of every 20 tests that I write. Occasionally
this has also happened during normal debbuging of running code on my machine.
So you mean that it worked well before, am I right?
If you debug the same app in other VS machine, does it work well? So we could make sure that whether it is related to the VS IDE.
Please disable all add-ins in your VS IDE, and then reset your VS settings, debug it again.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247075(v=vs.100).aspx
Or you could run your VS in safe mode, debug it again, at least, we could know that whether it is the add-in's issue.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
To make sure that it is not the project files' issue, create a new blank solution, copy the project files to the new solution, clean and rebuild the solution, check the result.
>>Once I step over this to the next line (screen shot 2) I get the error message 'The name '[variable name]' does not exist in the current context'
How about debugging it with "Step Into" instead of "Step Over"? Or you could add breakpoints between 234 line to 241 line, after the breakpoint is hit, check the watch window again. How about the result?
In addition, do you check other debugger window like local or others?

Jack

11.5.9/OAF 5.7 : how to add new fields in iProc "search results" page

We need to add new fields into iProc "search results" page - "Personalize Self-Service Defn" is et, we can enter the personalization screens (from both the "master" link at top/right page level or from the link above the region) - anyway cannot find how to add new fields. Do we have to go to AK developer and/or XML files or is it feasable from OAF (as it is with 11510) ? TIA.

It depends on what fields you want to add.
1. If Oracle has included the fields, just render them via personalizations
2. If they are brand new fields:
a) you will need to extend the VO (I do not know the exact name).
b) change the query to get your extra db columns if necesary
c) add transient attributes to the VO and map them to b).
d) Then you need to add the items via personalization and map them to the attributes you created in c)
Check on metalink for the lates version of OAF Dev Guide and Personalization guide.
Thanks

How to change the layout set for Search Results

Hi gurus.
Im developing a search component for KM Search iView, and as a requirement the layout must change dynamically to display the search results. How do I get this to happen?
public SearchParamsMap getSearchParamsMap() {
     SearchParamsMap m = new SearchParamsMap();
          try {
          IQueryEntryList list =                   this.createQuery();
               m.put(SearchParamConst.PARAM_SEARCH_QUERY_ENTRIES,                list);
          } catch (WcmException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          m.put(

I have the same question. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The cleaner approach in my view could be to provide a hyperlink and when the user presses the link option you can show the partner data in the key field.So for example some body wants to see the partners for a particular Sold to Party just do allow him/her a hyperlink access.For this the end user must be aware of the functionality.
Alternatively make this view a part of the Viewset which will contain the search & result view.When you select a particular opportunity row from the result row , you can show the partners involved in this opportunity.When no opportunity is selected you can leave the partner field blank.

How do you create a "back to search results" link in PHP MySQL

Can someone just explain the basic principle behind this one:
I have a search facility which reveals a search results page - a list of products. After clicking on a product you then go on to another menu of product images which you may (or may not) trawl through. At present when a user is finished they have to click the back button until they get back to the search results (which could be ten clicks or more).
I would like to create a link on the product detail page and product images page that simply allowed the user to "Go back to search results".
So how do I capture the search results url+ parameters to allow me to do that?
Can anyone give me a pointer or two?
Cheers
Dave

Okay, I'm pretty sure I can figure that one out. But before I get stuck in this question springs to mind.
I may be being a bit daft here but at present the search form is set up to deal with the $_POST variables from the form on that page when they are submitted.If I send users back to that page armed with the session variables (which now have the same values as the original $_POST variables how can I get the page to automatically use the session variables instead of the $_POST variables it is waiting for?
