Mandatory and optional fields in OIM

Hi All
How can I make some fields optional and some mandatory in the OIM request template ? can I make this change in OIM console ?
Thanks

Hi,
You will have to modify request data set.
Go through the below link for request dataset.

Can we mix mandatory and optional field entries for file import?

Can we have devices with mandatory fields only and some other devices with mandatory and optional fields within the same CSV file used for file import?

Hi Rita and Sandra,
That is correct, you can mix mandatory and optional field entries for file import. However, if you don’t have OS type and version, the alerts matching would be impacted.
Thanks,

Mandatory Select-options field problem

Hello Gurus,
I have the below scenario:
In my Z report I am having a select-options for material selection(s_matnr) on selection screen and that is a mandatory field.
But when the user tries to enter the multiple single values by pressing the arrow icon present near the select-option it gives an error message " Fill in all the required entries "
So the problem is I cannot enter the multiple single values in select-options until and unless I fill s_matnr-low. Once I fill s_matnr low then its allowing to enter multiple standard values.
And as per the requirement the user must be able to enter the multiple single values in s_matnr even if s_matnr-low is not populated.
Is this the standard functionality of SAP or there is some way out of it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sachin,
Remove the obligatory addition from the declaration of the select-option....
see the example code below .... it will help you resolve your issue for sure.....
TABLES : scarr, sscrfields. " Tables sscrfields is a must to be declared in your code...
SELECT-OPTIONS : carrid FOR scarr-carrid.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-name CS 'CARRID'.
      screen-required = 2.                " though obligatory is not mentioned it will give you tick mark
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
IF sscrfields-ucomm = 'ONLI'.
    IF carrid IS INITIAL.
      CLEAR sscrfields.
      MESSAGE 'Fill in all required entries' TYPE 'E'.       " once the user press F8 then only this error
" message will be displayed
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Mandatory and optional components during installation of PP and DS of JDEE1

Hi all
I am trying to install Deployment Server and Platform Pack of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in two different machines.
I have downloaded from edelivery.oracle.com the folders for oracle database and the guide.
On the guide I am reading that for the Platform Pack
Enterprise Server:
Mandatory: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation
Optional: ES Production, ES Prototype, ES Development, ES Pristine
Database Server
Mandatory: System Database:
Optional: Production Databases, Prototype Databases, Development Databases, Pristine Databases
I have checked up only the mandatory components during install and now I see that the platform pack has not installed any database.
Am I doing anything wrong? Do I have to check up any of the optional components?
Does the Platform Pack work correctly without any database?
The same questions please even for the Deployment Server.
Please help me on this.
Thank you and best regards

Hello,
do you try to install from a Network share ?
If yes copy the .exe to the local disk of the Server and re- run the Installation routine.
First the package gets extracted to your profile of the user which is logged on the Server. In the TEMP directory directly.
After the package is extracted copy the TEMP dir. from the user to somwhere else (f.e. C:\) and from there run the "setup.exe"

UDF having date and timezone field in OIM 11gR2

Hi Experts,
How to create UDF having date and time filed in OIM11gR2?
Thanks,
Amit
Edited by: 955130 on Dec 13, 2012 12:18 AM

Basically the problem set is, my client wants to enter the term date as date and time, but by default the term date comes with calendar popup that does not support time entry also from user form.
Yes, it is correct that we can use date as well as string, and the solution proposed is like we add 3 drop down along with the term date,
first drp down contains hours HH, second MM and third location (For maintaining the office location)
I want an advise on below things:
1. Does OIM supports globalisation and localization concept. meaning the date time is maintined as location specific or do i need to save location somewhere and create a lookup field where all the locaitons and there difference of timezones are kept?
2. Can i have a calendar replaceed by date time calender so that i can get rid of drop downs?
3. If not, which is the best way of updating my term date with time also, will event handler work here?
thanks all.

Programming Lgic Idea...? Thoughts for required/optional fields for HashMap

hi all:
Let me see if I can convey this thought clearly..
I am having logic problems... not coding issues...
My problem...
I have a class called JobBuilder and another class called RegistrationFile. The idea is that RegistrationFile has a mehod to write a Registration File called writeRegistrationFile(HashMap regFileParams). Note that the registration file is constructed based on values in the RegistrationFile... However the registration file construction and hence required information is different depending upon the file type... Thus I have created another method called getRegFileParameters(String filetype) in class RegistrationFile which can be called before the write method which will construct a HashMap with the required parameters neccessary for the specified type and return it to the calling class (JobBuilder). The information in the returned HashMap will contain the required and optional fields needed to create a the specific registration file... My idea is that registration file class returns this HashMap to the calling class JobBuilder and it will use the information in the HashMap to construct the appropriatte HashMap which can be passed back to the RegistrationFile method writeRegistrationFile(HashMap params) method in order to construct the registration file...
so for example say the calling class JobBuilder says ok I want to create a registration file that is of type 2d Drawing... so it will make the following call:
RegistrationFile rf = new RegistrationFile();
HashMap hm1 = rf.getRegFileParams("2d Drawing");
the above will execute and a hashmap of optional and required values will be returned to JobBuilder and will look something like this...
"GT_ATTRIB", "AFM_W,KEY;AFM_X,KEY;AFM_D,X;"
"NTK", "X,X;"
"FILE", "X,X,X;"
etc...
couple things to note...
X = optional
KEY = REQUIRED
also there may be X number of required records for GT_ATTRIB, or NTK, etc... multi valued input is seperated by commas and varying value/parameter pairs by semicolons...
Thus for GT_ATTRIB there may be some number of required fields like AFM_X, AFM_D, etc and each pair is seperated by a semicolon...
thus AFM_X, AFM_D eventually will translate to seperate records
i.e. in the registration file it might look like
GT_ATTRIB|AFM_X|11
GT_ATTRIB|AFM_D|Q.1
NTK|3|6
NTK|4|5
FILE|/var/tmp|file1.txt|<optional comment>
FILE|/var/tmp|file2.txt
etc... all of this would have be turned into a HashMap that is constructed and returned to the RegistrationFile.writeRegistrationFile (HashMap hm) that was constructed like the following...
HashMap hm2 = new HashMap();
hm2.put("GT_ATTRIB", "AFM_X,11;AFM_D,Q.1;");
hm2.put("NTK", "3,6;4,5;");
hm2.put("FILE", "/var/tmp,file1.txt,<optional comment>;/var/tmp,file2.txt;");
etc...
rf.writeRegistrationFile(hm2); // send it to registrationFile class and use the write method...
The logic problem i am having is that the they should be able to construct the previous by reading the HashMap that was returned earlier... specifying required and optional parameters... does anyone see how in the class JObBuilder I might accomplish this... somehow I need to read each "KEY", "VALUE" pair from the returned HashMap and then further break it down to distinguish the required attributes from the optional ones...
it seems that they will have to get the KEY (i.e. "GT_ATTRIB", "NTK", etc... and tear apart the "VALUE" (multi valued key) and determine what is required vs. optional and then to reconstruct it so that I can read it in RegistrationFile class.... i.e.
They may tear it apart as
"GT_ATTRIB", "AFM_X", "11";
"GT_ATTRIB", "AFM_D", "Q.1";
"NTK", "3", "6";
etc...
but in the end needs to be reconstructed like...
HashMap hm2 = new HashMap();
hm2.put("GT_ATTRIB", "AFM_X,11;AFM_D,Q.1;");
hm2.put("NTK", "3,6;4,5;");
hm2.put("FILE", "/var/tmp,file1.txt,<optional comment>;/var/tmp,file2.txt;");
etc...
rf.writeRegistrationFile(hm2); // send it to registrationFile class and use the write method...
does any of this make sense?
I need a way to tell what is required and optional based on the returned hashmap so that I can construct the correct hashmap which will be used in generation of the registration file...
I really do hope that makes sense and truly appreciate any time and help anyone can provide... pseudocode would be great.. to convey the idea if anyone has the time or desire...
thanks again..

Yeah, you want to learn XML for ways to do this.

Department Field in the Cost Center as a mandatory from optional.

Hi,
I need to make Department field in the Cost Center as a mandatory from Optional.
Kindly suggest on making mandatory to Department field in the Cost Center.
Regards,
Anand Sheelavant,

Anand,
Go to IMG General settings and configure new transaction fields. Select the transaction codes to be adjusted, I think you should use KS01 (Creat Cost Center) and KS02 (Modify CostCenter) and create new transaction variants where deparment field is mandatory. Then use these newly created transactions variants to substitute the standard ones by assigning/activating them to transaction codes, KS01 and KS02.
Hope this solve your issue.

How to make mandatory field in f-02 to optional field

hi. SAP Gurus
In t-code f-02 Company code and currency these two fields header data are required fields...Is it possible to make them optional fields in SPRO....If possible then please let me what is the path and T-code????

Hi,
Company Code and Currency are mandatory fields for entering any FI posting. If Company Code is left blank in which company code should post the transaction. Similarly, without indicating the currency how will the system know in which currency the transaction is to be posted.
One option is through authorizations, we can restrict to which Company codes an end user can post the transactions.
Thanks

Mandatory /option fields

Hello
I am doing soap to proxy scenario sync.
some fields in soap are optional and some are mandatory, when we define option fields in data types ? can the xml tags also be optional or is it just the values within that particular tag which is optional? Thanks

> can the xml tags also be optional or is it just the values within that particular tag which is optional?
It is just the other way round: If a field is mandantory, it means that the tags are mandantory. The XML values are always optional, unless they are described more detailled.
But you always need to know, which fields have to be filled to make the XML semantically complete. You cannot omit fields just because they are optional.

Converting cost center field from mandatory to optional in Tcode CRC1

Dear Experts,
I'm a PP consultant & facing a problem regarding cost center .I'm trying to test a scenario into test server where trying to create a new resource(work center) via tcode CRC1(PP-PI).
In the last screen (Costing), system is asking for the cost center which somehow couldn't be created.
Now system is not allowing to complete the resource cretaion without entering cost center(as it is maintained as mandatory field).
I want to change this setting of cost center from mandatory to optional for the sake of completeing the process (as it is being done into testing server only)
Pls let me know the way by which i can convert this mandatory entry of cost center int Optional one.
Thanks in advance ....

Hi,
To add to what Ajay has said:
When you create a work center you are lead through various screens, the sequence depends on the work center category. You navigate with Next screen and Previous screen or, if you do not want to enter required data, skip."

Waman

Set up or flag the field of attribute as mandatory or optional

Hi,
Id like to know if its possible to either set up or flag the attribute fields as either mandatory or optional. Is it possible with Java API?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Thomas,
You have setting in the Console called Required that you can flag YES or NO to indicate whether the field is required or not. However, this option setting does not actually enforce anything as of now. In future releases of 2006, there is a proposal to enforce this.
For now, the way I worked around is:
1. I flag the field required YES in the console if I do NOT want NULL values in the field. (for the sake of setting).
2. Then, in data manager I write validation expression using IS_NOT_NULL function on those fields so that manual entry does not allow NULL values. It throws an error.
3. Import Manager however cannot retrieve the validation expressions. So, you can load null values in a field that has the expression written. You will identify these if you manually run validation after the loads.
4. <b>JAVA API</b> lets you enforce this when you are using API programs to post the data. You can write such that if the consoel is set to YES, then do not let NULL values to post.
I have some information around requried in fields in my blog:
/people/savitri.sharma/blog/2005/09/22/tips-and-hints-for-new-mdm-users
Is this helpful?
Good luck

Every keystroke and mouse movement, I get an audio notice that I need to shut off. In Safari, the cursor cycles thru every link and metadata field and I get a verbal/audio notice of what it is. How do I shut this option off???

Press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver. If that doesn't work, proceed as follows.

SQL Loader error on Fields terminated and optionally enclosed

When you have fields terminated and optionally enclosed, you should be able to have the enclosure characters within the data by doubling them.
So if I have fields terminated by '|' optionally enclosed by '"' and my data has a double quote in it, I can get SQL Loader to take it by replacing the double quote with two double quotes.
But this doesn't always work. For some reason the following string gets the error "no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field"
|"TRO2 ldj?=)(/&%ç*""aàéè_:;!àèé,jpdjbdbd"|
Apparently having the double quote immediately after an asterisk makes SQL Loader not see the second double quote. If I edit it and remove the two double quotes it loads OK. Also if I change the string to
|"TRO2 ldj?=)(/&%ç*aà""éè_:;!àèé,jpdjbdbd"|
Moving the double quote away from the asterisk it loads OK.
Anybody encounter this problem before?

Oracle version is 11.1.0.7.0
OS is Windows 6.1.7601
I can't remove the "optionally enclosed by" clause because we're getting the data from another system. Fortunately this is test data and this particular combination of characters is unlikely to occur in production data.

Making a UI field mandatory and error out on save if no entry made

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to make a UI field mandatory and not allowing the opportunity to save if the field has no entry selected out of a DDLB. I marked the field mandatory in the config page and it displays an error message if it is left unentered but still allows to save , ie even with the error message u can save the opportunity.
How can I get this to work and not allow save if the field is entered?
I tried putting a check in the DO_FINISH_INPUT and DO_VALIDATE_INPUT but didnt work........ please help

Arpita,
This is a standard program bug with opportunity screen. Fix it by applying SAP Note 1353553 - Opportunity: Behavior of mandatory fields in Web UI

How to set focus and mark red on certain select option field

hi experts
I embedded a select_option view in my application and tried to use IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->request_focus to set focus on a certain select option field if the logical check failed, and also hope the low field of the select option can be marked red....but things does not happen that way....
could anyone kindly tell me how to implement that requirement?
tkx and regards
sun

What is the problem you are facing in this ?
Requesting focus is easy.
just call the method request focus and pass the id of the parameter whose lower value field you want to focus.
as shown below.
code you might have written in wddoinit
DATA: LT_RANGE_TABLE TYPE REF TO DATA,
        RT_RANGE_TABLE TYPE REF TO DATA,
        READ_ONLY TYPE ABAP_BOOL,
        TYPENAME TYPE STRING.
    DATA: LR_COMPONENTCONTROLLER TYPE REF TO IG_COMPONENTCONTROLLER,
        L_REF_CMP_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE.
*   * create the used component
L_REF_CMP_USAGE = WD_THIS->WD_CPUSE_SELECT_OPTIONS( ).
IF L_REF_CMP_USAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) IS INITIAL.
    L_REF_CMP_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( ).
ENDIF.
    WD_THIS->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS = WD_THIS->WD_CPIFC_SELECT_OPTIONS( ).
    WD_THIS->M_HANDLER = WD_THIS->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->INIT_SELECTION_SCREEN( ).
LT_RANGE_TABLE = WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->CREATE_RANGE_TABLE( I_TYPENAME = 'ZDEALERID' ).
* * add a new field to the selection
WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD( I_ID = 'ID'
IT_RESULT = LT_RANGE_TABLE I_READ_ONLY = READ_ONLY ).
code for focusing a field.
wd_this->m_handler->request_focus( i_id = 'ID' ).
you must have declared attributes m_handler and m_wd_select_options type reffering to IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS and
IWCI_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS respectively.
and regarding that red color i am not sure it is possible without using message manager.
thanks
