Item based on a formula in a custom folder

Hi, actually I'm using Discoverer 4i and I have a problem when I create (with the administrator) an item based on a formula inside a custom folder.
The item is based on the following formula :
GET_THRESHOLD(Name,'XXI_SZF_SLA_Thresholds_Kormos') -- (1)
where:
GET_THRESHOLD is a function that returns a number
Name is the first parameter (and at the same time another item of the custom folder)
'XXI_SZF_SLA_Thresholds_Kormos' is an hardcoded value.
So..when I wrote the formula into the Item Properties, this is written correctly and when I connect with Desktop or Viewer my report works correctly.
But when I close and I re-open the administrator, I see the following formula
GET_THRESHOLD(Name,'XXI') -- (2)
.....how it was saved in a wrong way....or truncated....
I tried to check also the flag "Automatically save changes after each edit"....but I see always, after I reopened the administrator, the formula (2) and not the formula (1)
Is seems that my changes are not saved !!
Is this a bug ? Can I fix it in some way ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

hi,
1. Try to execute the function manually by passing the same value.
2. Discoverer formats the names of Items/folders/parameters etc by replacing underscores ("_") with a space, so this might be the reason, why it converts the value to : 'XXI SZF SLA Thresholds Kormos' and takes only the first string "XXI".
3. Try passing a value without "_".
Hope this helps!

How to show limited items based on a custom field

Is there a way to show only web app items based on the custom date field? For example, i want the module to only show web app item(s) whose "event date" is "today".... ?? Help please!

There has to be a jQuery plugin that can help you do that... just search on Google, Stackoverflow, etc...

How do I null out an item based on a database column before display?

I am using Apex 3.2
I have an item that is based on database column. My customer wants me to "blank out" the item before it is displayed so the user will have to enter a new value in place of the one that is in the database.
I have tried using a "before region" calculation to set the item to NULL. I can see the value getting set in the debug after the row fetch has occurred, but when the item is displayed, it contains the value from the database, not my calculated valuie.
I also tried using an unsourced text field and then doing an after submit calculation to set the value of the database column item from there, but no luck that way either.
Also tried clearing the item cache, but I think that happens way too early.
There must be a simple way to do this..
Any suggestion?

No problem user486652 (name?),
Yes, the $s function is one of ApEx's built-in's - see the ApEx documentation under API Reference, Javascript API's, and you'll find a wealth of built-in functions that do all sorts of things. For Javascript in general, take a look at www.w3schools.com for some really good tutorial and reference material - I use it constantly.
Ok, so you want to set the browser field to empty after the page loads. Since this is a page event, it isn't something that will fire for a form field element so you don't want the code there. In ApEx 3.2, edit the attributes for the page, and you'll see a setting called "HTML Body Attribute". You'll see a helpful bullet note below the setting saying this is the place to add onload events. The proper syntax will be:
onload="$s('P2_REMEDY_TICKET', '');"Once ApEx puts everything together and the page renders, this code will tell the browser to run that $s function after the page loads.
But be aware - if you take a look at the help for that setting, you'll see that it mentions that this will only work if your page template includes the #ONLOAD# substitution string. Not sure if all ApEx-supplied page templates already have #ONLOAD#, but every one I've used does. If your code still doesn't work, check your page tempate. In the Definition region, under Header, you should see a body tag with something like:
<body #ONLOAD#>...
...If that's there, your page template supports the HTML Body Attribute. If your body tag doesn't have an #ONLOAD#, add it.
Hope this helps,
John

Listing Items based on criteria e.g. High Priority Items First.

Hi,
One of our customers have a need to List High Priority Items first on the WebTools site.
Let's take two ItemCodes for example: Printer001, and, Monitor001.
>> If these two items are included in the same category then Monitor001 will appear before Printer001 as WebTools sorts in alphabetic ascending order;
>> But, our customer wants Printer001 to appear before Monitor001 as it is an Item higher in priority that Printer001.
I can think of two possible solutions:
1/2) Prefix Items with a number or letter to have it appear first in the WebTools default sort order. E.g. Rename "Monitor001" as "AMonitor001". This will not be possible for existing Items in SAP, so it doen't solve the issue,
Or,
2/2) Customize the Default WebTools Item List block to sort Items based on a User Define field called "pririty". Which might require a lot of effort.
Please advise if anyone else has solved similar issue and how.
Thanks very much for your replies in advance.

Hey Kafil ... I think you may be stuck modifying the parts list page or creating something from scratch. I'm not aware of an easy way to do this out of the box.

COPA Realignments for line item based reports

Hi Guru
I built two CO-PA line item based reports in our environment. Now , there are some organizational changes in our environment and Now I have re-derive a characteristic from customer master data. Does those changes reflect in my line item based reports, If i run Re-Alignments (KEND)?
Thanks in advance

Line item reports (defined w/KE91) will reflect the realignment. Line item display (KE24/KE25) will give you the choice of reading the original posting or the realigned data.

Formula Variable with customer exit

Hi,
can we use Formula variables with customer exit based on characteristics(ex Bill date)? if yes, can you guys help me on this.
Thanks
kri

Yes , you can use a formula variable with customer exit based on characteristics .
Depends on the requirement what you want to show in the formula variable ,
Eg : if you want to show the max fiscal year period , in that case :
create a new formula in the keyfigure section of your query , go to edit , you can see formula variable below the keyfigures ,
right click on the same and create new formula variable :
Write the code for the formula varible in the backend as we do for normal customer exit varaible :
for this e.g the code will be :
FORM get_variable_value
      tables E_T_RANGE      type RSR_T_RANGESID
      using I_VNAM          type RSZGLOBV-VNAM
            I_VARTYP        type RSZGLOBV-VARTYP
            I_IOBJNM        type RSZGLOBV-IOBJNM
            I_S_COB_PRO     type RSD_S_COB_PRO
            I_S_RKB1D       type RSR_S_RKB1D
            I_PERIV         type RRO01_S_RKB1F-PERIV
            I_T_VAR_RANGE   type RRS0_T_VAR_RANGE
            I_STEP          type I.
DATA L_S_RANGE LIKE LINE OF E_T_RANGE.
DATA loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
Data : l_inPer TYPE string.
IF i_step = 1.
Select min( distinct FISCPER )
        from /BIC/A(DSO name)
        into l_minper .
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    l_s_range-low = l_minper .
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.
drag the formula variable in the new formula created and exexcute the query , you will be able to see the output .
This is just an example , your code will differ as per your requirement .

WS14500015 - n-step WF, item based

Hi Guys,
I'm developing an item based approval WF for my customer (WS14500015), using the BAdI BBP_WFL_APPR_WORKFLOW, Method GET_REMAINING_APPROVERS.
I have the situation, that a SC (BUS2121) is created with two items, the approver list looks as follows:
                                       Itm1    Itm2
Appr1    EMPLOYEE_3      x         x
Appr2    MANAGER_1        x
Appr3    MANAGER_3        x         x
When the approval process comes two MANAGER_1 I expect that he only sees the item he is responsible for and not both. At least this is what the indicator 'HIDE_ITEMS_NOT_RESPONSIBLE' implies.
In my LT_APPROVER table I have 5 entries, they all point to the right approval object ID.
Does anyone have a clue what is missing or which additional indicator needs to be set?
Kind regards,
Thomas

hi,
I dont think this is possible with the Header level approval workflow!You may need to think abt the item level approval workflow to distinguish between the items to be sent to the different approvers.

CAML Query to Sort SharePoint list items based on Modified date

hi ,
can we sort sharePoint list items based on 'Modified' column, the sorting should be done up to milliseconds level.
currently i am using CAML query as below
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified' Type='DateTime' IncludeTimeValue='TRUE' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy>but its not considering milliseconds while sorting.
Thanks and Regards,
venkatesh.

Veda, thanks but I'm not really a hardcore C# coder.
We found more elegant solution was to create a List View which returns all records that should be deleted, based on our own custom deletion criteria, and then create an very simple SSIS Package in Visual Studio using the
Sharepoint Connectors for SSIS to delete all Sharepoint List Items returned from that List View. The Sharepoint Destination Connector has a delete operation.
This worked for us and didn't require any coding.

How to render web items based on the authorisation profile of the user

Hello,
Is there any way to render web items based on the authorisation profile of the user. The only way i can think of is:
- Write ABAP to look up into the security mapping tables.
- Convert the ABAP report into RFC-Enabled FM. The selection variables will be part of the import/export parameters of FM and table can be used to display the result.
- Create HTML template using WAD, write Java Script to call the FM and map the import/export parameter. Display the result in Table.
But i don't know How to use the Java Script to call Function Module (FM) and get back the authorization through parameter.
Is anyone know about it or is there any other method to do it? I can't find any solution and it is very critical for me.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Rajat

Hi Rajat,
Do you mean that you want certain users to be able to use only certain web items? I think you can use the libraries for that and assign them to roles:

How do I create a dynamic parameter based on a formula?

Hi,
I've developed a report, in CR 11, that is parameterized based on the field "ticket_date". I've created a Min and a Max formula so that I can select a date range. This works wonderfully. However, my date list is growing longer by the day and each day I have to run the report I need to scroll through an even longer list of date values. This will become increasingly impractical with each passing month and year. I would like create a "Year" paramater and a "Month" parameter so that I can first select the Year, then the month(s), then the dates.
When I attempted to create a parameter based on the formula, "Year (), the formula wasn't in the list of available values to create a parameter on.
How can I address this requirement?
thanks in advance!
Mark

Hi Abhilash,
Looks like I was able to create a Year field in the Command - thanks for the tip!
Before I close this off as answered can you take a look at two sets of SQL I wrote in the Command that I'm getting errors on and offer advice on where the error is occurring.
Example 1
The SQL I attempted to write must be close though:
Select ft.sequence, ft.ticket_date, coff.office_name, comp.subscriptions_id from
field_tickets as ft, company_offices as coff, companies as comp
INNER JOIN jobs ON comp.companies_id=jobs.companies_id
INNER JOIN field_tickets ON jobs.jobs_id=field_tickets.jobs_id
LEFT JOIN company_offices ON jobs.company_offices_id=company_offices.company_offices_id
Where comp.subscriptions_id=7.00
When I attempt to save this I get an error:
"Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Exception: Error Message: Java Heap Space"
Example 2
I get the error, "Not unique table/alias: 'custom_jobs_values'" for the following SQL Command
SELECT companies., jobs., field_tickets., regions., customers., custom_jobs_values. FROM
companies, jobs, field_tickets, regions, customers, custom_jobs_values
LEFT JOIN custom_jobs_values ON jobs.jobs_id=custom_jobs_values.jobs_id
INNER JOIN regions ON companies.regions_id=regions.regions_id
INNER JOIN jobs ON companies.companies_id=jobs.companies_id
INNER JOIN field_tickets ON jobs.jobs_id=field_tickets.jobs_id
INNER JOIN customers ON jobs.customers_id=customers.customers_id and
companies.subscriptions_id=4.00
thanks!

How to do a TopN Sort based on a formula

Hi all,
My report has two groups, Store and Department. In the details section are multiple jobs per store with costs. These are subtotalled by Store and Department. I want to compare total spend for each store with the store budget and produce a list of the Top 10 stores based on the percentage actual spend/budget.
My problem is I can only do a Top 10 sort on a summary field and I cannot summarise the percentage field as this is a formula which doesn't seem to allow summaries.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
JD

Jan,
Here are a couple of options.
1) Do the calcuations on the database (thru either a stored proc or command object).
2) Insert a crosstab where the rows are based on the Store and the summarized field is based on the formula that outputs the percentage of the actual vs budget as a Maximum. You can then do a TopN sort on the crosstab

Show or Hide Items based on radio value

I am trying to show and hide various Items based on the values of a radio button item. I have see the code and examples like
function Show_On_Radio_Value(pThis, pThat, pValue){
var rv = html_RadioValue(pThis);
if (rv == pValue) {
html_ShowItemRow(pThat);
} else {
html_HideItemRow(pThat);
The problem I am having is that I have 3 different values of the radio item and I want to display certain items based on each different value.
For example:
radio_value = 'Yes'
Show Item1, Item3, Item4
or
radio_value = 'No'
Show Item2, Item5, Item6
or
radio_value = 'Maybe'
Show Item1, Item2, Item4
I am fairly new to this so it might be easy, I just don't know how.
Any help would be appreciated.
--DG

Arie,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried it using the Show_On_Radio_Value function but I still can't get it to do exactly what I want. I have a working version here http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25290 ,
The code I used for this demo app is:
[script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript"]

[script]
In the HTML Form Element Attribute for the radio button:
onchange="Show_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTAREA','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD1','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD2','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD3','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD4','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_RADIOBUTTON','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD2','No');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD4','No');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_RADIOBUTTON','No');
The problem I see is that in the onchange event, the 'No' options are working because they appear last in the event.
Can you possibly provide an example using a Case statement?
Thanks,
DG

Setting value of items based on a radio group selection

Hi,
I have a radio group with 3 values (let's say A, B, C)... at the moment I have dynamic actions set to hide and unhide items based on the selection from the radio group...
e.g when value A is selected then only item_1 and item_2 are displayed, when value B is selected then only item_3 and item_4 are displayed... and so on...
idea was to let users to only enter information related to specific selection... but with what I currently have, users can select option A from the radio group and can enter information in item_1 and item_2 and then they can change there minds and select option B and start entering information in item_3 and item_4 and when they save the form they potentially could have information in all items (item_1 to item_4 and so on)...
Is there a way I can set the value of certain items to null based on the selection from the radio group... e.g when user select option A, then values of item_3 and item_4 be set to null and if they select option B, then values of item_1 and item2 be set to null...
Please advice how to approach it the best... I would appreciate a step by step solution as I am a new bee...
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can hide and disable other items.
Disabled items values are not submitted.
And you can create after submit computation that set NULL to item session state according your radio group state

Changing the status of the sales order item based on reason for rejection

Hi All,
When a Sales order item is rejected then the status at the item level is changed as 'TECO'.When the reason for rejection is removed the status 'Teco' is reset.This status change can be achieved using the user exit 'MV45AFZZ'.But the exit does not allow re-atp calculation whenver a blocked item is release.I have use the exit 'MV45AFZB' ,through this the status change as well as re-atp calculation takes place.But the status changed(Based on reason of rejection) does not appear in the same screen.The change gets reflected only when the sakes order is saved and i open it again.
I want the status change to appear in the same screen.I am doing my code in the form 'userexit_check_vbap' of the exit 'MV45AFZB'. Please let me know if there are any user exits or BADI's available for the same(Changing the status of the sales order item based on reason for rejection ).
Regards,
S.Subasree

Hi subburamaiah
If you want the report you can create a separate SIS report . In that take the input field as a Reason for rejection.. and ask for the output the list of sales orders .Now when you check this user defined report you will give the reason for rejection and check what all orders got rejected on that reason for rejection.

How to add new line item based on main item using crm_order_maintain

Hi All,
can you please provide a way to create a new line item based on main line item and save in crm transaction( in house repair order) by using crm_order_maintain(from SAP GUI).
Thanks,
vinod.

Hi Vinod,
The relationship with main item is stored with CRMD_ORDERADM_I- Parent.
You need to pass the guid of main item to orderadm_i-parent. This will keep the relationship with main item.
Thanks
