Lookup validation where !

Hello,
How to set the lookup validation where dynamically, depending on a value of an item in the based block, I have to display only some records in the lov !
Thanks for any help

Try:
your_lov.your_column_name = :block.field_name
In which your_lov is replaced by the table_name or alias of the lov base table.

N4S_TestDrive_MaxDB.iso not valid - where is md5sum?

Hi,
I have downloaded the N4S_TestDrive_MaxDB.iso-files, but when i concatenate the files aa-af to one single file, is seems that it is not a valid iso file...
I cannot find md5sums on sdn - can anyone verify my md5sums?
Best regards,

Hi,
Concatenate the seven files by opening up the shell and typing in the command:
cat N4S_TestDrive_MaxDB.iso_Part_a* > N4S_TestDrive_MaxDB.iso
if you get checksum error then might be problem with your source download it again.

RFC lookup to PI system or other ERP system.Which is better?

Hello experts,
I have a scenario[RFC>PI(RFCLOOKUP,SOAP LOOKUP)->SOAP] where I have to fetch or update the data in the table using RFC lookup in the mapping.
To store or update the data ,I have created a table in PI system and through RFC LOOKUP I am fetching the data in the message mapping.
                                                                                Some PI developers prefers not to create this elements in the PI system and suggested a way to create them in the ERP.
I wanted to crosscheck with you all whether Lookup to PI system is better or to ERP system in terms of performance, security and std maintenance.
-Conceptually, they see PI as a communication tool, not the best option for storing data, which is an ERP function.
some prefer ERP option to Simplify the upgrade / system patching processes. As No Z-Objects makes the checking process much easier and there is no need to adapt those objects to the new release environment.
I appreciate your valuable suggestions.

Hello Souvik,
Thank you so much for your reply.
But in my case the RFC lookup will be executed twice because the authorization data(token ans sign values which is stored in PI) is valid for 12 hours.
if I find that these data is expired ,I have to do a soap lookup to get these details from a webservice and also have to update the same in the PI table using RFC lookup.All these activities are done in message mapping.
so first RFC LOOKUP is used to fetch the data and if expired,I get these details from a webservice and update(executing second time RFC LOOKUP) in PI table ,so that next time when request comes ,I will fetch these details from PI table instead from webservice to send message to the receiver.
same functionality is required for 4-5 scenarios,all acessing the same PI table.
So Kindly advice considering these situation,will the performance,security,maintenance be good when doing RFC lookup to other ERP instead of doing RFC lookup to PI system .
Kind Regards,
Kubra.

How to apply Foreign Keys on top of a Common Lookup table

I have an issue where i am mandated to enforce RI on an applications database (a good thing). but I have several common lookup tables where many of the "codes" reside for many different code types. I also have the mandate that i cannot change the
underlying DDL to make composite keys to match the codes table PK. I am currently looking at creating indexed views on top of the Codes table to seperate the logical tables it contains. This is several hundred views. Although doable is there another solution
I am not seeing? I have scoured the web in search of an answer knowing I cannot be the only SQL developer in this situation. I do know that I do not want to write several hundred triggers to enforce RI. Table schema below, the CdValue column is the column
that is used throughout the hundreds of tables that use this codes table, and their corresponding column is not named the same.
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodesTable (
PartyGrpId INT NOT NULL
, CdTyp VARCHAR ( 8 ) NOT NULL
, CompId INT NOT NULL
, CdValue VARCHAR ( 8 ) NOT NULL
, CdValueDesc VARCHAR ( 255 ) NULL
, AltValueDesc VARCHAR ( 100 ) NULL
, DefaultInd CHAR ( 1 ) NULL
, OrderNum SMALLINT NULL
, ActiveCd CHAR ( 1 ) NULL
, ExpireDtm SMALLDATETIME NULL
, EffectDtm SMALLDATETIME NULL
, ModById INT NULL
, ModDtm SMALLDATETIME NULL
, CreateById INT NULL
, CreateDtm SMALLDATETIME NULL
, CONSTRAINT PC_dbo_EcdDetail
 PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( PartyGrpId ASC, CdTyp ASC, CompId ASC, CdValue ASC )
 ON FG_Data
) ON FG_Data;
I did though run into one forum where a person brought up a great idea. Filtered Foreign Keys, what a novel concept, if it could work it would make so much less code to fix an issue like this. :)
ALTER TABLE dbo.BusinessStatus WITH NOCHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_dbo_BusinessStatus_CodesTable FOREIGN KEY (LoanStsDtCd) REFERENCES dbo.CodesTable (CdValue) WHERE CdTyp = 'Status'

>> I have several common lookup tables where many of the "codes" reside for many different code types. <<
No! This is called “Automobiles, S quids and Lady Gaga” SQL and laugh at you or fire you or both. A table is a set; a set has one and only one kind of element it it. This is the basis of RDBMS and First Normal Form.
This is so bad it has a name; OTLT for “One True Lookup Table” ;I give an example of how stupid this in one of my books where a Dewey Decimal Classification for Churches is the same as the ICD code for deformed testicles.
There is no such crap as a “generic_type_code” in RDBMS. It either a “<something in particular>_type” or a “<something in particular>_code” in data modeling and the ISO-11179 standards.
You have more NULL-able columns in one table than you should have in an entire schema!
You have audit data (creation and modification) in the row under audit. This is both stupid and illegal. You cannot expose the audit trail to the data user by law. When you delete a row, you also destroy the audit trail –Doh!
You have no CHECK() constraint on the (effective_date, expiry_date) pair.
Putting “_table” in a table name is a design error called a “tibble” to make fun of how silly it. You might want to download the PDF of bad SQL code smells from Red Gate so you can avoid things like this.
>> the CdValue column is the column that is used throughout the hundreds of tables that use this codes table, and their corresponding column is not named the same. <<
“_value” and “_code” are both what ISO-1179 calls an attribute property. It is a silly as a list of adjectives without a noun.
Each encoding is a separate table in a valid schema, each with its own validation and verification. You have to stop doing this. This is fundamental!!

RFC LookUps Basics

Dear ALL,
I need some basics on why we need RFC LookUps..
where it is used in real time projects with an example..
and different types of RFC lookUps..with some good example
Regards
Shakif

Hi sakhif,
    SAP provides an API( Application Interface ) for performing lookup or ( data Access) during runtime to enchance mapping by accessing the relevantdata that is useful in validations and present that accessed data that is relevant for the receiver end .It plays very important role in B2B kind of scenarios where in we need to refer the data that is not a part of pay load but still need it to process the payload.
(Ex: During the B2B scenario ,when a purchase order id being sent from source to target ,you see a field called purchase order type and the values in the sencer side contains only (OR or ZZ). but the receiver wants the definition of the particular (OR or ZZ).In this case You apply the look up , get the definitions and make them appear in the receiver data.
so after applying look up the data transforms like this.
SENDER Side       RECEIVER Side
OR       -
> Original (original order)
ZZ        -
> Mutually Defined .
Lookup API for data enrichement in mapping programs.
With the Lookup API you can call remote application systems via adapters during the execution of a mapping program. You can use the Lookup API to read data from the application system or to execute an existing mapping on the application system. The call to the application system is synchronous. Lookups are possible via the central adapter engine. The Lookup API supports the RFC, JDBC, and SOAP adapter.
If you want to use an adapter of a third party vender, then the adapter must fulfil the following preconditions:
The adapter must support synchronous calls.
The adapter must not use information of a Receiver Agreement.
The following link will help you out in understanding more on RFC look up.

Mandatory item validation at a page level?

Hi,
We have a page where the list of mandatory items changes according to how some 'key' items are set by the user e.g. if they select option 1 on item 1 we need a different set of mandatory fields than if they set option 2 - setting option 1 in item 4, may imply that some further items are mandatory, In addition, some items become mandatory due to circumstances known only on the database. We have in excess of 40 items on this page. Once all mandatory items are complete, the status of the page is saved as 'complete' - the user can always save the page as 'incomplete'.
We already have a database package that can check a table row to see if it is 'complete', it knows all the circumstances for when an items becomes mandatory and can produce a list of fields and the reasons why they have failed validation.
Is it possible to call this db package during page validation and use it to perform 'item' validations i.e. identify the invalid items and place the appropriate message inline with them?

Hi,
You can create a pl/sql page validation where you call you procedure.
begin
package_k.proc_p(item1,item2,...,itemN);
end;
You should define the type of the validation, but it is very straight forward,
Regards,
Max.

Validation at AM level ?

Hi All:
I wanted to know the best way to handle validation where there are multiple dependent entities which are involved in the validation rule (eg. if attribute in entity1 is not null, attribute in entity 2 shld not be null)
I tried to add a validation method at AM level to call before the SAVE, and throw a ValidationException there, but the exception never makes it to the UI page and the processing does not stop and the SAVE happens.(when in fact the desired behavior is that the SAVE should stop till the user corrects the problem)
Do i need to override the commit method in the transaction for this? or there is some other recommended way?
Thanks

OIM 9.1.0.1 Lookup - Lookup Query

Hi all
We have already develop connector. But still have some questions...
Parent process form with two lookup fields where second lookup values depends of the first lookup selected value.
We have created second lookup like 'Lookup Query', yes we see right CODE, DECODE with relation of first lookup, and when pick value, only one value (DECODE or CODE) can be passed, not like simple Lookup ( when pick row ( DECODE and CODE ) saved to DB, and next review of the form field show DECODE value (but in mind) it is CODE) :)
i want 'Lookup Query' with behavior of simple Lookup.
any suggestions, it is possible?

I'm positive there's a great way to do it with SQL, but you'll need to look at 4 tables:
1) OBJ (Objects) - Here you are looking in OBJ_NAME for 'OID User', once found get the OBJ_KEY value for the row.
2) OST (Object Status) - In this table, you can find all the statuses for the OID User resource based on the OBJ_KEY value. Look for the applicable ones and get the OST_KEY value for each row.
3) OIU (Object Instance for Users) - Now you can query this table for all results where OST_KEY equals the desired values as found in step 2.
4) USR (Users) - Here you can get the User ID's (usr_login), User Key (usr_key) or any other value for users to help with the query.

Validation - Business Rule or/and UJ_Validation

Hi experts,
I'm on BPC 7.5 NW, I'm facing problem to construct a simple validation where I need to compare the amount from one parent account against to other. Let's explain the business scenario and after the technical solutions.
Business Scenario
Compare the Total Assets is equal to the Total Liabilities. The Total Assets is represented by a parent account "1", the Total Liabilities is represented by a parent account "2". If it is different show a warning.
This is need to trigger, after the Actual Transactional Data Load + Journals.
Technical Solution
Application: Legal
Dimensions: Empresa (Entity), Conta (Account), Fonte (C_DataScr), Versao (C_Category), Groups, Intco, MesAno (Time), TipMov (Flow), CCusto (User Defined), CLucro (User Defined)

Hi,
Just to check, can you try and hardcode the category in the rules itself...just for a test to see if it is working.
You can have the category mentioned as CATEGORY=ACTUAL in the rules itself for Other source dimension members and other destination members. J
This is to check if the validation package runs successfully or not.
Thanks,

Pop Up Error using MVC method after Validation in DO_HANDLE_EVENT Method

Hi Experts,.
I am rather new to BSP applications and I am working using MVC at the moment. I have a requirement which apparently is simple, but am yet to get that done successfully.
I have a couple of buttons on my BSP View screen, on click of these buttons, the User Name would be verified with entries in a Custom table and if the User Name is not found, an error message would pop up stating, "You are not Authorized to use this option".
On click of the button, the event which is triggered is handled in the DO_HANDLE_EVENT Method of the Controller for the view.
The check is performed in that method. Thereafter the method DO_REQUEST follows automatically which loads the view yet again. I want to throw a pop up error message at this instance if the User Name was not the authorized one.
I have used Java Script to throw pop up message but only in case of field content validation where I did not need to navigate away from the view for the validations. But how do I bo about for this example.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Subhrangsu

Hi
1. You can call the view in pop-up because you will be calling the controller using open.window.
Here is the sample code:
method DO_REQUEST .
data:
        li_vw           type ref to   if_bsp_page,
        lv_form_field   type          string,
        li_md           type ref to   zcl_model01.
dispatch_input( ).
li_md ?= get_model( 'm01' ).
lv_form_field = request->get_form_field( 'invoice_create' ).
if lv_form_field is initial.
*------ Request to display main page
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'main.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
elseif lv_form_field eq 'true'.
*------ Request to display Invoice page in pop-up
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'invoice.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
endif.
endmethod.
Layout :
   function do_Invoice()
      { var s=0; r=1; w=300; h=300; x=screen.width/2;
        x=x-w/2;
        var y=screen.height/4;
        y=y-h/2;
        popUp=window.open('main.do?invoice_create=true','win','width='+ w
        +',height='+ h +', left=' + x +',top='+ y +');

Need to add button to seeded page and perform validation

Hello All,
My requirement to add a new button in custom page. when user click on that it should call a workflow.
I have added a button through personalization. but for validation where should i capture this event and code.
Can i extend controller through personalization. if not then how to get controller.java file from server.
When i have tried to get CO from server, i got .class files only. is there any place where i can get .java files.
I would really appreciate,if anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance,
sheetal mittal

Hi Sheetal,
You need to extend the CO and in the extended CO you need to handle you event. Using personalization you need to attach your new extended CO with the page so that your event will get handled. Hope this will help you.

How to give query in lookup type udf in OIM 11g

Hi,
In OIM 9.x, we were able to provide query in lookup type field in users UDF to fetch data from DB and display it in lookup table.
Where as in OIM 11g, I cant find that option. We need to provide user id in lookuptype field based on some query. Please let me know where we can do the same in OIM 11g.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

In OIM 9.x, we had below query in one of the lookup type attribute:
select usr.usr_udf_empid,usr.usr_first_name,usr.usr_last_name from usr where usr.usr_emp_type='Full-Time' and usr.usr_status='Active' and usr.USR_UDF_EMPID is not null
The lookup used to show firstname, lastname & employee id of active employees in the lookup.
Where we can achieve the same in OIM 11g?
Thanks,
Kalpana.

Insert a record in Qualified Lookup Table

Hello everyone,
I need code to insert a record in Qualified Lookup Table where the non-qualifier is a record of type Country. Other fields are qualifiers.
I tried using QualifiedLookupValue.createQualifiedLink(). However, this only helps to insert in the qualifier values, how can I insert the non-qualifier (Country) value?
Any idea?
Many thanks in advance,
Baez

Hi guys,
Maybe the answer comes late but i'm recently working on this and the API works for me to create and update qualifier values.
Suppose recordMain is the main record, fldQFT is the qualified lookup field in main table, fldQualifier is the qualifier field in QFT table.
To add qualifier value you can use:
QualifiedLookupValue qualifiedLookupValue = new QualifiedLookupValue();
int index = qualifiedLookupValue.createQualifiedLink(recordMain.getId());
qualifiedLookupValue.setQualifierFieldValue(index, fldQualifier, MdmValue);
recordMain.setFieldValue(fldQFT, qualifiedLookupValue);
To update qualifier value, use:
QualifiedLookupValue qualifiedLookupValue = (QualifiedLookupValue) recordMain.getFieldValue(fldQFT);
qualifiedLookupValue.setQualifierFieldValue(index, fldQualifier, MdmValue);
recordMain.setFieldValue(fldQFT, qualifiedLookupValue);

Oracle Validated RPM - Which to download?

I'm preparing a couple Linux x86_64 servers for building a RAC cluster and thought I'd give the Oracle Validated RPM a try.
The specifics -
Red Hat Linux RHEL 5.5 (kernel level 2.6.18-194)
Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.2.2
Oracle Database release 11.2.0.2.2
I am not a member of OLN, I don't use the Oracle Unbreakable Kernel and I don't use Oracle Enterprise Linux. (But worn out reading about all of these topics.)
I go to this download site as directed by MOS Note 437743.1.

Hi,
1.) Yes, only take the newest one.
2.) Yep it should (some expeptions apply)*. Just make sure you configured an automatic update server (yum), that all dependent RPMs can be downloaded as well.
For OEL you could use public-yum.oracle.com, but since you don't like OEL I am sure you know where to find a free RHEL one...
3.) Definitely. I never go without it.
* E.g. it does not configure/change NTP configuration, as it is a requirement for the 11gR2 GI install.

Date Validation - a Nightmare for ME!

Hi, I searched the forum and came up with some code that works for me partially. I am still having problems with getting the end result that is needed.
I need to do a date validation where the begin date is less than end date. Below is the syntax..It works but when I put in the correct end date i still get the error message athough the date is correct. Also if I set the focus back to the field and correct the date it still set focus back... I'm sure it is something simple that I am missing
----- form1.subformpage1.empnsubform.DateTimeField2::exit - (JavaScript, client) -------------------
if (DateTimeField2.formattedValue>=DateTimeField1.formattedValue);
xfa.host.messageBox("Incorrect Date range");
What am I missing? Yes I still struggle with writing scripts!!!!
thanks

I have a similar thing on one of my forms, the fields are "Date Submitted" and "Date Needed" and I need to validate that the Date Submitted date occurs before the Date Needed date. If it does not, it prompts a response dialog box and asks for a new DateNeed to be entered. Here is the code I used: (I'm by no means an expert at code) //This just sets the values of the date/time fields to variables, and then checks for a null value. If null, it changes the rawValue to an empty string for inserting into database. If not null, it leaves the existing rawValue unchanged. Unless you're writing info to a database, you probably wouldn't need this. var DateSubmit = form1.MainForm.Info.DateSubmitted.rawValue == null ? "" : form1.MainForm.Info.DateSubmitted.rawValue; var DateNeed = form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.rawValue == null ? "" : form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.rawValue; if (DateNeed<DateSubmit) { var dateResponse = xfa.host.response("The Date Needed date must be later than the Date Submitted date.\nPlease enter new date below: (MM/DD/YYYY format)", "Date Needed Error"); var myDate = new Date(dateResponse); var myFormattedDate = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy", myDate); form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.formattedValue = myFormattedDate; } BTW, I have this as code on a submit button that does all of my validations and then writes a new record to a database. But I think you could also do this on the exit event of the second date/time field if needed. The variable declarations at the top would be slightly different. Lynne
