JoinFieldValue - Workflow Custom Object 4

Hello,
How can I retrieve data from a field on Custom Object 4 to Service Request.
I used Custom Object 4 to load our Machines. And On service request, I exposed the custom object 4 field on Service Request Page Layout to let the users pick a Machine. So when the users pick a machine, I would like to bring over some additional Machine details and populate it on the service request page
I am trying to do this with a workflow by using Joinfieldvalue on Custom Object4 but running in to issues.
JoinFieldValue('<CustomObject4>',<CustomObject4Id>,'<IndexedPick0>') . Its giving syntax error saying invalid field customobject4.
Thanks,
SKJ

Hello,

Asset
Contact
CustomObject1
CustomObject2
CustomObject3
Dealer
Product
User

Auto-populate fields in Custom Object Based on Another Record

Hello,
I am hoping to auto-populate a few default values in a new Custom Object record based on an associated Lead record. The layout is this:
I use the Lead record to take care of most of the information in the sales stages until the product is sold. The Lead record has fields to record information for a one product sale. The sales person can then use the Custom Object (called 'GX Additional Product') (which shows up in the Related Information section of the Lead record) to add additional items to a sales order request. Many of the fields in the GX Additional Product (custom object) record are identical to fields already filled out in the Lead record.
What I would like to do, is when a new GX Additional Product (custom object) is added to the Lead record, those identical fields already filled out in the Lead record, by default, populate the corresponding fields in the new GX Additional Product (custom object) record.
Is this possible? Is this something that can be done with JoinFieldValues? If so, I've had a bit of confusion trying to set up a JoinFieldValues expression.
If you have any information to share that would be helpful, that would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Hi,
You can use JoinFieldValue to Custom Objects from other entities, cause you will have other objects' ID recorded inside the CO's, when you open a new detail record associated with the parent. Make sure your custom object is showing as a detail section (N:1) into lead´s main page. Try with one field first, using the exact syntax provided at samples listed at product documentation.

JoinFieldValue function and custom object 4,5

Hi,
Can JoinFieldValue function be used for custom objects 4 and 5? If I want to update the Account field on custom object 5 based on the Account field in custom object 4, can this be done using JoinFieldValue ? How?
Regards,
Ani.

Hi Ani,
Currently JoinFieldValue is not supported in Custom Objects 04-15. You will have to use web services for Updating Account field on Custom Object 5 or else you can try the URL method to update the Account field .

Set Default Value based on Field from another table for a custom object

I'm trying to set the default value on a custom object field to the value of an account field. I have tried the syntax 50 different ways, and just am getting no where. The account field label displays as DBA, the integration tag is ltDBA_ACCT, and it shows up in reporting fx area as Account.Text_22.
The custom object field I'm triying to update is also called DBA, which was originally the "NAME" required field. Does the table name, Account, have to be included? Do I need a function in front of the field?
I have been updating the external ID using the row ID with syntex <ID> (Less than ID greater than) so I know it is possible to set the Default Value, but <DBA>, <ltDBA_ACCT>, "Account"."DBA", and so on just don't not work.
If anyone knows how to enter this I'd really appreciate the help.

Ok, so if you want to default a field to the value from another object, you have to use the JoinFieldValue function. I think you understand that, based on your original post, but I want to be sure that you do.
Next, this will only work as a default if the record is created from the object that you wish to join on because a default works at record creation and the ID needs to be available for it to work properly. It will not work if you choose the related object record after the custom object record is created. You could set the value as a post-default, but that does not seem to meet your requirements.
The syntax for the Default Value would be as follows: JoinFieldValue(ref_record_type, foreign_key, field_name).
In your case, ref_record_type is '<Account>', foreign_key is [<AccountId>], and field_name is '<YourFieldName>'. The best way to determine what the field name is would be to create a new workflow for Account and use the Workflow Rule Condition expression builder to pick your field ("DBA") from the list. The value that is returned by the expression builder should be placed in the field_name variable in the JoinFieldValue function (minus the brackets and in single quotes).
Give this a shot and let me know how you do.

Issue with a JoinFieldValue on Opportunity Object

Hello,
I am trying to do a JoinFieldValue on opportunity object.
Here is my fonction: JoinFieldValue('<Activity>',[<ActivityId>],'<AccountName>')
OCOD return me an error message: "[<ActivityId>] is not valid SBL-SBL-00000"
In the Oracle documentation, they said that we can only do a joinfieldvalue on [<ActivityId>] with custom object 1, 2 and 3.
Does anyone can confirm or give a workaround for that?
Thanks in advance,
Vincent

Hello, Thx for your answer. I tried exactly what you said but still not Ok.
I did it on a workflow with the following trigger: "when a new created record"
1. I put a wait action as 0 minutes waiting.
2. Update values on Opportunity account : JoinFieldValue as I said previously
Did you success on a workflow like that?

How to link custom object 05 to accounts

Hi,
I used custom object 05 to create the "Forecast" object. In order to create the desired reports I need to link the cusom object to Accounts. I already found out that there is Read-Only Picklist available that searches in the Accounts and I use that I get the desired result. But unfortunatly, the users have manually select an account everytime they enter a forecast. Is there was to automaticcaly fill in this field to create the relationship between account and forecast? I tried entering a default value in the "Account" filed but it seems to be an standard field and the option is greyed out.
The forecast is created under opportunity, so I can get the "Opportunity: Account" field filled in automaticcaly but that does not result in a relationship between account and the forecast.
Any advice?
Kind Regards
p.s. I included a screenshot they might clarify my problem a little bit more: http://i.imgur.com/Drh7P.jpg

Download/Upload of Workflow Business Objects

Hi experts,
Do you know if there is a way to download/upload workflow business objects, tasks, events, etc, from a SAP system to a diferent one?
Thanks in advance,
Raphael Xavier

Hi Raphael,
yes you can download and upload workflows to/ from different systems.
To do that go to SWDD, Workflow -> Import/Export -> Export to XML file.
Now in the recipient system, go to SWDD, Workflow -> Import/Export -> Import from XML file.
There is a limitation to this approach. All customizing chnages like start conditions, etc would not get copied from one system to another, only the basic template is copied (tasks, container etc).
Best approach is to move the workbench and customizing TRs from one system to another.
Hope this helps!

Unable to set up the default value in custom object 10,related item section

Hi,
Please help me out for the below issue
Custom Object 10 we renamed to Quarterly Broker Review .In Quarterly Broker Review there is a related item section 'Activity'.
In Quarterly Broker Review ,Activity related Section ,After clicking on The 'New Task' button 'Account Name' field in Quarterly Broker Review(Parent ) should be prefilled in the Activity Section(Related Item Section) in Account Name Field
'Account Name' field is a Picklist Read Only field.
Since it is a picklist read only field i couldn't write the expression in the 'Activity' Related section under 'Account Name' field
you can also help me by reaching at '[email protected]'
Thanks,
Srinivas Merugu

Hi Srinivas,
As you know, you can refer to a field in a different object by using JoinFieldValue function. But this function is not available for all the object references. If you refer online help for JoinFieldValue function you would notice that from activity only CustomObjects 1,2 an 3 can be referenced using this function.
If this is possible for the activity and CustomObject 10 then you go to the field named Account Id in Activity object and set a default value. I guess in the parent object "CustomObject10" Account Id will also be stored in "Account: Integration ID". So this field value can be copied into the Account Id field of Activity.
Instead you could write a web service program to achieve this.
Thanks

Hide a mandatory field (Custom Object 7)

Hello,
I have put a default value in the field NAME (mandatory field) of Custom Object 8.
I would like to avoid to display the field in the UI.
Is it possible ?
The wizard asks me to put the field in the UI.
Thanks for your help.

If the field is required, it must be displayed on the layout.
Depending upon your configuration perhaps you could use a workflow to deposit the value into the field, whilst removing the requirement of the field thus allowing you to remove it from the layout?

New custom object type - SWO1

Hi All,
I need to create a custom object type using SWO1.
The object type needs to be linked to a report program with selection screen(or its tcode).
The selection screen carries just 1field. The output is a new screen.
Would appreciate if any1 can tell me the step-by-step process to accomplish my objective.
-Ram.

Enter a name.
Hit create. Populate the manadatory pop ups don't populate super type.
Blow out the key field. Create a key field.
Blow out the methods - add a method. Add the code for the method - select the method and hit the program button add code as below:
BEGIN_METHOD RUNDUPREPORT CHANGING CONTAINER.
   SET PARAMETER ID 'VPA' FIELD OBJECT-KEY-PARTNEREMPLOYEEID.
export object-key-partneremployeeid to memory id '99'.
   CALL TRANSACTION 'ZEML' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
*object-key-partneremployeeid.
END_METHOD.
Create your event.
My method calls an abap I wrote that is bound to a transaction.
You will need to set the release status for all of the elements of your object and the object itself.
The question I have is why. Are you calling the object in a workflow? If so you will need to use the fm as below:
DATA: OBJTYPE LIKE SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE VALUE 'ZRM_WWCONT',
    EVENT LIKE SWETYPECOU-EVENT VALUE 'DuplicateEmail',
     OBJKEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY,
        EVENTID LIKE SWEDUMEVID-EVTID.
    DATA: BEGIN OF EVENT_CONTAINER OCCURS 0.
            INCLUDE STRUCTURE SWCONT.
    DATA: END OF EVENT_CONTAINER.
    OBJKEY = KNVK-PARNR.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
         EXPORTING
              OBJTYPE              = OBJTYPE
              OBJKEY               = OBJKEY
              EVENT                = EVENT
        START_WITH_DELAY     = ' '
        START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
        IMPORTING
             EVENT_ID             = EVENTID
         TABLES
              EVENT_CONTAINER      = EVENT_CONTAINER
         EXCEPTIONS
              OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND    = 1
              OTHERS               = 2.
    COMMIT WORK.
Good Luck.

Performance issue in Webi rep when using custom object from SAP BW univ

Hi All,
I had to design a report that runs for the previous day and hence we had created a custom object which ranks the dates and then a pre-defined filter which picks the date with highest rank.
the definition for the rank variable(in universe) is as follows:
<expression>Rank([0CALDAY].Currentmember, Order([0CALDAY].Currentmember.Level.Members ,Rank([0CALDAY].Currentmember,[0CALDAY].Currentmember.Level.Members), BDESC))</expression>
Now to the issue I am currently facing,
The report works fine when we ran it on a test environment ie :with small amount of data.
Our production environment has millions of rows of data and when I run the report with filter it just hangs.I think this is because it tries to rank all the dates(to find the max date) and thus resulting in a huge performance issue.
Can someone suggest how this performance issue can be overcome?
I work on BO XI3.1 with SAP BW.
Thanks and Regards,
Smitha.

Hi,
Using a variable on the BW side is not feasible since we want to use the same BW query for a few other reports as well.
Could you please explain what you mean by 'use LAG function'.How can it be used in this scenario?
Thanks and Regards,
Smitha Mohan.
