Increase the length of a characteristic
Hi,
I created a characteristic using CT04 and i selected the format as CHAR.But now
the issue that i am facing is the CHAR datatype is allowing only a max of 30 characters.
But i need more than 30 how can i do it?
Regards,
Arun.

Hi,
It is not recommended to change the FIELD LENGTH provided by SAP
it requires the SAP authorisation and access key
if you have that , then in the DEFINITION of the DOMAIN you can change the length.

Increasing the length of Char type Info-object ( impact )?
Hi,
We are on BW3.5 version and we have a custom defined Info-object ZP_REPORT(say )whose length is 3 now as all the three digit series will be used up in near future we have a requirement to increase the length of the characteristic.
This Info-object is used Navigation attribute of 0Material. And also this info-object is used as Navigational characteristic in few Info-cubes.
Can any one please let me know what would be the impact of increasing the length?
1)Do I need to delete the master data from this ZP_REPORT?
2)DO I need to delete the master data from 0MATERIAL?
3)Will there be any impact on Info-Cubes?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
AjayHi Ajay,
It is always big challenge to change the existing info object lengh or type or anything that have gone live already..........
But if we will be very careful at the time of changing length and transport, we can do it succefully......
Lets come to your scenario... In my understanding
i) Your scenario is going to change the info object length that info object is only available for attribute. It is not at all used anywhere in the dimenstion table. So your cube will not be affected.... If problem will come your master data only will be affected.... Verify more than one time your info object is not at all used in any cubes. (Go to infoobject change mode check in where used list)
ii) Before changing the length in development, data should be available in development cube as well as master data.. Because you can verify it in development itself whether the data will be deleted or not at the time of changing the length and activate the info object.
iii) At the time of transport transport only the particular info object. Dont sent any other info objects. That might have related with any cube.
iv) For safety purpose check whether your info cube is having which type of load. Either Full load or Delta. Most of the cubes will be having delta. If it is full, then we dont have more worry on that.
v) Finally if possible, create one backup cube and back master data and load data from your existing cube to that cube. If the data will be more that 2 GB it is not a simple task to take a backup..... This is only for safty purpose......
Please let me know your status...............

To increase the length of a vanilla column
Hello Everyone,
I have a situation, where I have to increase a length of a vanilla column in siebel.
I have to increase the length of a base column CORP_STOCK_SYMBOL of a vanilla table S_ORG_EXT. From the tools level I can't do this as it does not allow me to.
If I can make the change from the backend, it won't reflect the same in the tools(Logical Level). But in the DB level you can see that the length has altered. But when u try to update a value and then open the application it throws an SQL error. What I am thinking is, though the length is altered at the physical level, in logical level it has not changed therefore i guess the SQL error is popping.
Or can I alter the S_COLUMN table itself? If it is done, I fear the problem while migrating this to different environment.
Please let me know the solution for this if any of you people have encountered the similar situation.If you insist on increasing the length of the column, I would get Oracle involved.
Another option might be to use a different column or create a new column. -
How to increase the length of a message in message class
Hi Friends,
Is there any way to increase the length of a message in a message class as the maximum length is 72 chars.
My requirement is I cannot use the Long text option.
Thank YouHI,
We cannot change the message length in the message class
but you can do one thing ,
while giving the message in your msg class write till which you are allowed to and then you put '&'
eg : this is message &
now goto text elements and create a text element suppose T00
and write the remaining text in that text element.
and when you want to display the message do it like
message i00(zmsg_class) with text-T00.
it ll work.
*****Reward if useful,
Thanks & Regards,

How to increase the length of a columnin existing publication item
We need to urgently increase the length of three columns in one of the tables that is sent offline as a publication item. I have searched everywhere to see if there is a procedure to see this. I only found process to add/drop columns but not modify to JUST increase the length.
Can we just alter the tables on the server and republish the application? Will that cause any data loss on the client end?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SireeshaI totally forgot about this method. Metalink had it in the headlines today and remembered your question.
This should work for you.
Applies to:
Oracle Lite - Version: 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.2.0
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The Goal of this Document is to show the right steps when it is necessary to increase the Column Size for a table
which is used for the Synchronization with Oracle Lite 10GR2
BECAREFULL, it is not supported to change the Column Size or make any Schema Evolution on the Primary key
as The Synchronization Algorithm is based on Primary key
Solution
Create table test_sec (col1 number(10); varchar2(10));
alter table test_sec add primary key (col1));
Create Publication: PUB_TEST_SEC
Create Publication: PI_TEST_SEC: select COL1, COL2 from scott.TEST_SEC fast
Refresh, server wins, weight = 1 and add it to the Publicatio PUB_TEST_SEC
Synchronize this PUB_TEST_SEC
On the Server: increase the col2 WHICH IS NOT A PK, from 10 to 15
alter Table scott.TEST_SEC modify (col2 (varchar2(15));
To get the new Column Size on the olite DB, you need to alter the Publication item too using for example this code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.lite.sync.Consolidator;
import oracle.lite.sync.ConsolidatorManager;
import oracle.mobile.admin.*;
public class PublicationChange {
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Throwable
DriverManager.registerDriver ((Driver)Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance());
ConsolidatorManager consolidatorManager = new ConsolidatorManager();
consolidatorManager.openConnection("mobileadmin","manager","JDBC:ORACLE:thin:@suppolite1.fr.oracle.com:1521:PROD");
System.out.println("Connected");
try
/*You need to put a Select Statment lightly different from the Publication item,
if you will use the same select statment, it won't take in Account
if you used: select * from owner.table to create the Publication Item
you need to use: select * from owner.table for the alterPublicationItem API
consolidatorManager.alterPublicationItem("PI_TEST_SEC","SELECT * FROM SCOTT.TEST_SEC");
System.out.println("Pub Item recreated");
catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
try
consolidatorManager.closeConnection();
System.out.println("The installation is done!");
} catch (Throwable e) {
Compile and run this java code.
Synchronize
Check your table Description on Oracle Lite Database to verify that this Schema Evolution has worked as expected. -
How to increase the length of the identifier?

any help on this will be great!Don't forget that there is a comment space for each table

How to increase the length of message in status bar
Hi all,
I need to show an error message in the status bar of the ABAP editor when an error occurs in the program. But the error message is not fully getting displayed, it is getting truncated. Is there any way to increase the length of the message in the status bar.You can display upto 73 charcters ,if you need more than this then create one text element .
here you can have 132 charcters.
parameters p_matnr like mara-matnr.
start-of-selection.
message s999(z01) with text-005.
Create message class with & & & & & & ( Message short text ).
This way you can show maximum 132 charcters.
Thanks

How to Increase the Length of Condition table in OV20
While creating a condition table in T.code OV20 if fields length is more that 50 bytes table is not getting generated.it gives error as Too Many Fields Selected(More than 50 Bytes).
Actually i need to create a tabel with Basic Material(WRKST) which has length of 48 bytes.
Is there a solution on how to increase the length so that error is avoided.
There is no such error occuring while crating condition table in V/03Hi,
You can try to use the type string:
form like zscr_data_hdr-form,
werks like zscr_data_hdr-werks,
matnr like zscr_data_hdr-matnr,
verid like zscr_data_hdr-verid,
lot like zscr_data_hdr-lot,
lot_qty like zscr_data_hdr-lot_qty,
udate like zscr_data_hdr-udate,
utime like zscr_data_hdr-utime,
zuser like zscr_data_hdr-zuser,
processed like zscr_data_hdr-processed,
defect like zscr_defect_data-defect,
vornr like zscr_route_data-vornr,
fieldxx type string,
dayst like zscr_data_hdr-dayst,
end of t_data.
So you can save you informations of every fld<n> concatenating their values into fieldxx.

How to increase the length of description
Dear Guru's
we want to increase the length of Decription field in thBOM Item line 1 item line 2.can we increase the length.presently its having 40 characters capacity.
Thanks & Rgds
Pankaj Agarwal1.I dont think this is possible as this is a standard SAP requriement.
2.check the data eleaement -which has the 40 as character lenth.
so it is not recomended to change it.
Solution
3.You can use the ItemLongTEXT - which doesnt have any restriction in the lenght.
so dont change the standard setting use the itmelONGTEXT this should solve ur issue
