How to set up web variable screen for filtering by attributes

Hi out there,
My problem deals with the query variable selection screen in the web. I would like to filter some variables by their attributes in the same way it is done in the navigation item, but in the selection screen I have only the characteristic values in the F4 help available. Is there a way to adjust or extend the selection screen so that I can also filter by attributes (without having to modify the corresponding ABAP Class)?
By the way this functionality exists for selection screen in BEx, so why doesn't it exist in the web?
I'd appreciate any idea.
thanx,
Heiko

The most direct way to do this is modifying the principal infoobject and make this attribute as NAVIGATIONAL.....this allows you to see this attribute as a characteristic in Query Designer and you could use it with a filter....
I hope this helps you

  • How to set CHAR/BYTE as default for all entities attributes

    Hello,
    We'd like to have a way to set as a preference in the OSDM the Unit CHAR for all attributes who has datatype VARCHAR2 and CHAR, instead of the user have to set it manually for each attribute. Actually the database works or in one way or other. It means that if I have to set the Unit CHAR for one attribute, I'll have to set for all others.
    The preference "Show CHAR/BYTE Unit........." available on the Preferences dialog of the OSDM only show or not the information in the DDL script.
    Thanks

    Hi Nelson,
    The application developer should have only the option to set or not it for whole relational or physical model if the "length semantics" are Byte or Char.If database allow char/byte semantics to be set at column level we should support it. Otherwise you'll come and complain Data Modeler doesn't support it.
    In a real world the developer doesnt have to choose which columns are byte or char, it strictly depends the characteristis of the database defined for the database administrator.This workflow is supported by Data Modeler - you have an option char/byte semantic to be excluded from DDL generation and the setting at database and session level will come into effect when DDl script is executed.

  • How to set a new SCSI number for a second drive?

    How to set a new SCSI number for a second drive?
    Walter

    Walter,
    This web site gives a good diagram:
    http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/dpes/dpesjum.htm
    On a Quantum hard disk drive - they were the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hard drive provider for Apple, you will see three or four pairs of pins on the green circuit board. They are labled:
    AO . .
    A1 . .
    A2 . .
    If no pins are connected, you have SCSI ID Zero This was the standard setting from the factory.
    If you short out the pins beside AO .__. , you have designated SCSI ID One.
    If you short out the pins beside A1 .__. , you have designated SCSI ID Two.
    If you short out the pins beside A2 .__. , you have designated SCSI ID Four.
    These values can be added together to get other SCSI IDs. If you have a jumper beside AO AND A1, that will add up to SCSI ID Three.
    Some of the quantum drives used tiny black plastic jumpers with tiny metal contacts. I have yet to find a store that sells the tiny ones. I get my larger jumpers from old PC motherboards that are being thrown away. A small piece of aluminum foil will work as a jumper in a pinch. Just make sure it soed not fall off and short something else out!
    Jim
    PS
    CD-ROM drives are set at the factory as ID 3. Internal drives are set at ID 0. I set my external SCSI drive at SCSI 1 so it does not conflict with the internal drive. Internal Zip drives are set at ID 5 and external Zip drives let you choose between 5 and 6. I set my burners at ID 4. Come up with a master plan for your devices like scanners and burners. Apple System Profiler will give you info on the device ID. If the computer fails to boot, turn off all but one SCSI device and make sure of its ID. Then check each subsequent device by powering up only one device at a time while booting from a CD at ID #3.

    Tis might be a browser feature - the variable values tend to get stored - you could look at implementing DSM ( through portal ) or try making your template stateless and see if the value changes...

  • How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    John,
    Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
    Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
    Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
    Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
    BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
    *if ( bindingContext != null )    {*+
    DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
    DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
    Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
    if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    *}*
