HowTo: Business User defining Planning Functions?

Hi all,
does anybody have experience with allowing Business users Defining Planning Functions (e.g. account A = account B - account C) and could share a rough concept? I basically think about Fox-Formulas, but this includes issues with authorization in productive system.
Are there any solutions with translating free-text-Formulas (e.g. defined in an Attribut or flatfile, see scenario below) into ABAP or FOX Code?
Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences,
Best regards,
Michael
Our scenario:
- Business users are responsible (and authorized) for specific local Companies.
- Values of the Chart of accounts are typed in into a input-ready query.
- for Dummy accounts (e.g. Z01) of the local companies no planning is allowed in the plan version, but business users should be allowed to define a specific formula, such as:
= + *
- these functions run at the end of the planning process in a separate planning version for translating local data into global accounts
- At best these functions should be maintained as an attribut of the dummy accounts or as free text in a text field next to the account in the plan query, but how to translate the formula into a Fox or ABAP formula without great effort?
- When using FOX, the issue is, that it is a different GUI and there would have to be a function for each company (there will come new companies) and so on....

Hi Matthias,
thanks for the post. The problem isnt of keying in the formula isn't that big, this can for example be done in an attribute Char 60 with Flatfile upload for each planning process.
My problem is more
a) if I use FOX Formulas - the usage of fox formulas in productive system for Business User
I still think that using FOX formulas is the easiest thing to implement, but probably the hardest to run and maintain life. Are there any best practises / how tos about authorization and IP architecture for that?
b) if I use formulas as Text - the formula parsing itself and the communication with the planning function
Here you gave me the hint of using customer defined planning functions. That's probably the best thing. I first thought about about a formula parser that is called by fox. Still, parsing free text into structured formulas isn't easy, is it? Are there any how-tows?
best regards,
Michael

User Defined External Function - How to work?

I have defined some external functions in java by following the description in
C:\OraBPELPM_3\integration\orabpel\samples\demos\XSLMapper\ExtensionFunctions
I can use my functions in JDeveloper, but they do not work on the Oracle BPEL engine.
Is it enough just to place the jar-file in <OC4J_HOME>\j2ee\home\applib and add the jar-file in class-path (as described)?
What about the xml-file specifying the functions (called SampleExtentionFunctions.xml in the documentation)?
Should this file be copied to <OC4J_HOME>\... ?
Here is the error message I get by running my service:
XPath expression failed to execute.
Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "ora:processXSLT("TransformationInput.xsl", bpws:getVariableData("inputVariable", "request"))", the reason is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: For extension function, could not find method org.apache.xpath.objects.XNodeSet.leadingZeros([ExpressionContext,] #NUMBER)..
Please verify the xpath query.
______________ MY JAVA CODE EXAMPLE: _____________________________
package extentionfunctions;
This is a sample XSL Mapper User Defined Extension Functions implementation class.
public class JavaExtensionFunctionsBpel
* Inserts leading zeros to a text, if this starts with a digit.
* Else the return value will be the same as the given text.
* The return value will have the specified length.
public static String leadingZeros(String text, int len)
{ String retur = text;
char c = (text == ""?'0':text.charAt(0));
if ('0'<=c && c<='0'+9) { // Is first char a digit?
retur = "";
int n = len - (text == ""?0:text.length());
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) { // Insert zeros:
retur = '0' + retur;
retur = retur + text;
return retur;
* Removes leading zeros from a text.
public static String removeLeadingZeros(String text)
{ String retur = text;
int pos = 0;
int len = (text == ""?0:text.length());
for (int i=0; i<len; i++) {
if (text.charAt(i)=='0') { // Is char a digit?
pos++;
return retur;
public static void main(String[] args)
{ // Basic test of functions:
int len = 5;
String s = "1234";
String r;
System.out.println("leadingZeros("+s+","+len+")="+(r=leadingZeros(s,len)));
System.out.println("removeLeadingZeros("+r+")="+removeLeadingZeros(s));

Flemming, it looks like somthing is wrong in the xsl that it still goes to org.apache.xpath.objects.XNodeSet package instead of yours ..
I created a sample that illustrates the usage of this functions (even with 2 params, different types).
Java class (com.otn.samples.xslt.CustomXSLTFunctions)
package com.otn.samples.xslt;
public class CustomXSLTFunctions
<function name="extension:multiplyStringAndInt" as="number">
<param name="base" as="String"/>
<param name="multiplier" as="number"/>
</function>
public int multiplyStringAndInt (String pString, int pMultiplier)
int base = Integer.parseInt(pString);
return base * pMultiplier;
XML descriptor:
Note the types (in the java class and the xml descriptor)
for java:base -> string and for xslt:base -> string
for java:multiplier -> int and for xslt:multiplier -> number
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extension-functions>
<functions extension:multiplyStringAndInt="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/com.otn.samples.xslt.CustomXSLTFunctions">
<function name="extension:multiplyStringAndInt" as="number">
<param name="base" as="string"/>
<param name="multiplier" as="number"/>
</function>
</functions>
</extension-functions>
Definition of variables in the process:
(as you can see, the base is a string - I do the conversion in my method, and the return value
is converted to a string by the engine)

<element name="CustomXSLTFunctionProcessRequest">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="base" type="string"/>
<element name="multiplier" type="int"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>

<element name="CustomXSLTFunctionProcessResponse">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="result" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
Using the new function in the XSL transformation:
- watch out for the namespace declaration (xmlns:sample="...")
- and the usage (sample:multiplyStringAndInt)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:ldap="http://schemas.oracle.com/xpath/extension/ldap"

</client:result>

Then I created a jar file with the class (and for testing the xml descriptor in it)...
and put it into j2ee/home/applib directory

How can I call a stateful webservice from a user-defined XPath function?

I'm calling a stateful webservice from a BPEL process using a PartnerLink which implements Custom Header Handler classes to handle the session state, storing the cookie as a property of the PartnerLink.
I'd also like to call this same stateful webservice, in the same session, from a user-defined XPath function enabling me to call this from an XSL Transformation.
Is this in any way possible? Can I access the cookie and attach it to the webservice call made by the user-defined XPath function?

Actually, as long as the servlet returns valid javascript, you can indeed "call it" from the client. It will initiate a request and return the result to the browser.
This example uses Perl, but it could be easily modified to go to a servlet instead.
Note that it is only supported in DOM browsers (IE6+/NN6+/etc)

How can I use User-Defined Aggregate Functions in Timesten 11? such as ODCI

Hi
we are using Timesten 11 version and as per the documentation, it doesn't support User-Defined Aggregate Functions.
So we are looking for alternatives to do it. Could you please provide your expert voice on this.
Thanks a lot.
As the following:
create or replace type strcat_type as object (
cat_string varchar2(32767),
static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(cs_ctx In Out strcat_type) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self In Out strcat_type,value in varchar2) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self In Out strcat_type,ctx2 In Out strcat_type) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self In Out strcat_type,returnValue Out varchar2,flags in number) return
number
How can I use User-Defined Aggregate Functions in Timesten 11? such as ODCIAggregateInitialize ?

Dear user6258915,
You absolutely right, TimesTen doesnt support object types (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13085_01/doc/timesten.1121/e13076/plsqldiffs.htm) and User-Defined Aggregate Functions.
Is it crucial for your application? Could you rewrite this functionality by using standart SQL or PL/SQL?
Best regards,
Gennady

XSLT Mapping - user defined Extension function

Hi to all,
can somebody helps me, please?
I need an own function, that can be used by the XSL Mapper. First I have only tried the sample given in Path <BPELPM>\integration\orabpel\samples\demos\XSLMapper\ExtensionFunctions
There is a java file with the defined functions and a xml file with the definition of this function for the mapper and last but not least a jar-file with the java class.
I have copied the jar to <JDEV_HOME>\jdev\lib\ext directory and in JDeveloper I have added SampleExtensionFunctions.xml to Tools->Preferences->XSL Map -> "User Defined Extension Functions Config File" field. After a restart of JDeveloper I find 2 new functions in the "User Defined Extension Functions" component palette page when a XSL Map is open. That's fine.
But if I test the mapping I get an error: "Failed to transform source XML.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: For extension function, could not find method org.apache.xpath.objects.XNodeSet.replaceChar([ExpressionCotext,]#STRING, #STRING)."
What is wrong?
Thanks in advance of your answer
best regard,
uno

Oracle XML support Extension function.
For example:
If we would like to import FAQDBUri.class with user-defined java functions, like TranslateDBUri(), we can write XSL file like this:
<xsl:template match="/" xmlns:dburig="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/FAQDBuri">
<xsl:variable name="urladd" select="dburig:TranslateDBUri($url)"/>

User-Defined Planning Layouts - Translations

Hi Experts,
Custom Planning layouts have been created.
I need to translate the form from English to Danish.
This has to be done in the Development system then moved to Quality and Production.
This is how I proceeded with the task:
IMG Path: Project System  Costs  Planned Costs  Manual Cost Planning in WBS  Detailed Planning  Create User-Defined Planning Layouts for Detailed Planning.
Select Change PS Planning Cost Element/Activity Input Layouts.
Select Layout ZMY_LAYOUT  Planning Layout  Translate Form.
Specify Source Lanaguage : EN, Target Language: DA --> Clcik on Translate Button.
There is a prompt for including the request in a Transport Request. If clicked yes it asks for a workbench Request.
I specified the workbench request number.
Select Form --> Object List
Select the line with form name, Source Text --> Click on Translate.
Enter the translation -> Save and exit
However, when I check my request in SE10, it has no objects???
If I repeat the process, and select Transport form, it asks me for a customizing Request.
How can I move my transations from D to Q.

Reema Shahbazkar.

Hi,
No it is NOT a unicode system.

User Defined Extension functions XML file

Hi,
Can we define exception In custom XSLT function XML file.
Like i have following Custom XSLT function XML-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extension-functions>
<functions xmlns:uppercase="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.Uppercase">
<function name="uppercase:GetName" as="string">
<param name="fname" as="string"/>
<param name="lname" as="string"/>
</function>
</functions>
</extension-functions>
So in case i need to throw an exception in my java function GetName so how can i define that in XML?
Please give some suggestion?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. When I created extensions.xml (as advised by you) and tried specifying it as User Defined Extension Functions Config file, I get the following error:
Invalid User Extension Functions Config File
Invalid value 'object' for attribute:'as' line 5 column 52
i.e. the following line:
<function name="extensions:getMSPDate" as="object">
Any pointers on what will be the correct value for attribute 'as' for element 'function'?
Also, what is the default namespace being used in the extensions.xml?
Is there a link for more documentation on the format for extensions.xml?

User defined extension functions

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a user defined extension function.
I followed the demo in the BPEL tutorials,and created the java function and then the extensions.xml.
I have registered the .xml file,and have copied the .jar to jdev/extensions directory.
Once i restart the Jdeveloper i am getting the following error.
Severe(0,0): file:/D:/Software/Jdeveloper/jdevstudio10133/jdev/extensions/LogP1ExtensionFunctions.jar does not contain an extension manifest.
Can anybody help me on this
Thanks in advance

Help! Can I have user defined extension function?

Under SQL Sever XML, I can write a xsl script like this:
<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="myfunc">
function getvalue(nodelist,name,istag){
var subNode=nodelist.nextNode();
if(subNode == null) return('?');
if(istag == '') name = '@' + name;
var value=subNode.getElementsByTagName(name);
return((value == null)?'':value);
</msxsl:script>
and I can call this function in the xsl, obviously, msxsl supported by microsoft. I know that Oracle XML support Extension function, but you can tell here that I want a user defined function while not a predefined function. Can I have such feature with Oracle XML, and How? Thanks.

Oracle XML support Extension function.
For example:
If we would like to import FAQDBUri.class with user-defined java functions, like TranslateDBUri(), we can write XSL file like this:
<xsl:template match="/" xmlns:dburig="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/FAQDBuri">
<xsl:variable name="urladd" select="dburig:TranslateDBUri($url)"/>

PL/SQL : User defined Aggregate Functions ??

Is it possible to create (using whatever language) a user defined aggregate function for transparent usage within sql ?
e.g.
select median(myField) from myTable
or
select empirical_expectation(myField) from myTable
thanx in advance ..
Tobias Oberstein

HI,
U can create a stored proc. (PL/SQL) for this and call as any other function.
By using external procedure, U can create shared library in C or C++ and coonect this shared library by using external function/procedure. This will be become user-defined procedure.
with regards,

User-Defined Aggregate Function in oracle

Somebody knows if in oracle 10g is possible to create a User-Defined Aggregate Function?
Sometingh like my_sum, that aggregate the values in a way that i want...
select manager, my_sum(salary)
group by manager
In internet i've found rellay notingh for oracle 10g...can somebody help me? Thank's in advance!

Thank's to everybody!!! I've made my custom function sum_distinct
create or replace type AggregateCD as object
( nb                   number,
     ListOfDistinctValue clob,
    static               function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT AggregateCD) return number,
    member               function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT AggregateCD, value IN VARCHAR2) return number,
     member               function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN AggregateCD, returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number,
    member               function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT AggregateCD, ctx2 IN AggregateCD) return number
create or replace type body AggregateCD is
   static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT AggregateCD) return number is
     begin
         sctx := AggregateCD(0,null);
         return ODCIConst.Success;
    end;
    member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT AggregateCD, value IN VARCHAR2) return number is
        ListOfValue CLOB:=self.ListOfDistinctValue ;
     begin
         self.nb:=self.nb+to_number(substr(value , INSTR(value, ';', 1, 1)+1 ,length(value)));
        return ODCIConst.Success;
    end;
    member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN AggregateCD, returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number is
     begin
          returnValue := self.nb;
          return ODCIConst.Success;
    end;
     member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT AggregateCD, ctx2 IN AggregateCD) return number is
     begin
         self.nb := ctx2.nb;
         return ODCIConst.Success;
    end;
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sum_distinct (input VARCHAR2) RETURN number
PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING AggregateCD;you can use so:
select sum_distinct(distinct t.primary_key||';'||t.import)
from table1 t, table2_with_bad_join
it's the same of
select sum(t.import)
from table 1

BI Integrated Planning Self-defined planning function type ( RSPLF1 )

Dear all,
I got 2 questions regarding the new BIIP customer defined planning function type.
1. How do we create the class for the planning function type ? Do we copy standard one( like CL_RSPLFC_DELETE ) as template ? Or , can we create a class whcih use standard class as a supper class and change the methods as we want?
2. Since the planning modeler is running on web , is it possible to debug the self-defined planning function type in SAPGUI?
Thank you,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
from the documentation it seems that you have to copy the delivered Classes: two methods are mandatory (the ones about execution IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC and IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC_REF). See the on line help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/548bafbc0f357ee10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
I didn't try yet, did you? Have you experienced something different?
Best regards
GFV
