Mapping errors between data object and automated activity

Hi,
in a automated activity of a bpm process I try to call a web service method ("addBook") which exptects an object called u201CbookWrapperu201D. The object "bookWrapper" consist of three variables: u201Cbidu201D (Integer), u201Cauthoru201D (String), u201Ctitleu201D (String).
When I try to directly map, for example u201Ctitleu201D, out of an existing Data Object (Filled by an human activity: u201CDO_CreateBooku201D) I got the error:
Expected: xsd:string
Found list of u2018com.sap.dictionary.stringu2019
Severity and Description     Path     Resource     Location     Creation Time     Id
The literal: "Expression for target path 'DO_BookWrapper/title' has errors." do not have type, in expression: "#erroneous=true;sources=TaskOutput/UIResponse/start/title#TaskOutput/UIResponse/start/title".     LocalDevelopmentLocalDevelopmentbook_chapter_process~demo.sap.com/src/bpmn     create book and chapter.bpmn     Expression for target path 'DO_BookWrapper/title' has errors. [Galaxy, Rule, Literal]     1260878200220     4720
I do not know why this error occurs because both type are strings. Is it due to the fact that I do not have an object instead of variables as input parameters? I used the automatically generated data types as data objects.
May anybody help me please? Can I make casts?
Regards

Hi Martin,
From the error that you get, it is indicated that you try to map a list to a single variable.
If you want to do so, please see the documentation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/47/63604e42bf6831e10000000a421937/frameset.htm where it is said:
If you map a node, whose content is a list or a node, with one or more parents that are lists, to a single-valued node, you get an error. Depending on your needs you could provide custom expression, for example to aggregate the list to a single value, or you could do parent mapping between the multi-valued parent nodes.
So you need to create an EJB function that does the conversion between a list and single value type. Here is the help for functions: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/47/63604e42bf6831e10000000a421937/frameset.htm and especially for EJB functions http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/609c9982-39af-2b10-768b-e5bd8813c1f3.
I hope this helps you.

  • Difference Between Data Type and Data Object

    Difference Between Data Type and Data Object

    hi magesh
    <u><b>Data types</b></u> can be divided into
    elementary,
    reference, and
    complex types.
    <u><b>Elementary Types</b></u>
    Elementary types are the smallest indivisible unit of types. They can be grouped as those with fixed length and those with variable length.
    <u><b>Fixed-Length Elementary Types</b></u>
    There are eight predefined types in ABAP with fixed length:
    <u><b>Four character types:</b></u>
    Character (C),
    Numeric character (N),
    Date (D),
    and Time (T).
    <b>One hexadecimal type:</b>
    Byte field (X).
    <b>Three numeric types:</b>
    Integer (I),
    Floating-point number (F)
    and Packed number (P).
    <u><b>Variable-Length Elementary Types</b></u>
    There are two predefined types in ABAP with variable length:
    STRING for character strings
    XSTRING for byte strings
    Reference Types
    <b>Reference types</b>
    describe data objects that contain references (pointers) to other objects (data objects and objects in ABAP Objects).
    <u><b>Data Types</b></u>
    1) As well as occurring as attributes of a data object, data types can also be defined independently.
    2)You can then use them later on in conjunction with a data object.
    3) The definition of a user-defined data type is based on a <b>set of predefined elementary data types.</b>
    4) You can define data types <b>either locally in the declaration part of a program</b> using the TYPESstatement) or <b>globally in the ABAP</b> Dictionary.
    5) You can use your own data types to declare data objects or to check the types of parameters in generic operations.
    <u><b>Data Objects</b></u>
    1)<b>Data objects</b> are the physical units with which ABAP statements work at runtime.
    2) The contents of a data object occupy memory space in the program.
    3) <b>ABAP statements access these contents by addressing the name of the data object</b> and interpret them according to the data type..
    4) For example, statements can write the contents of data objects in lists or in the database, they can pass them to and receive them from routines, they can change them by assigning new values, and they can compare them in logical expressions.
    5) Each <b>ABAP data object has a set of technical attributes</b>, which are fully defined at all times when an ABAP program is running (field length, number of decimal places, and data type).
    6) You <b>declare data objects</b> either <b>statically in the declaration part</b> of an ABAP program (the most important statement for this is DATA), or <b>dynamically at runtime</b> (for example, when you call procedures).
    7) As well as fields in the memory area of the program, the program also treats literals like data objects.
    hope this helps u,
    reward points if useful

  • Differences between DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECTS

    I am new to ABAP,I want to know the differences between DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECTS with some examples.
    please help me regarding this.

    Hi Ashish,
    Data Types:       Are pure descriptions.
                   No memory is associated with data types.
                   Describes the technical properties of data objects.
    EX.
    1.     C-CHARACTER
    2.     D-DATE
    3.     F-FLOAT
    4.     I-INTEGER
    5.     N-NUMERIC TEXT
    6.     T-TIME
    7.     P-PACKED NUMBER
    8.     X-HEXADECIMAL
    9.     STRING-Variable length string.
    10.     XSTRING-Variable length byte string.
    Data Objects: Are created during runtime.
                    They cannot exist without the data Types.
                    Occupies memory space.
    EX:
    1.     INTERNAL DATA OBJECT- Internal Data objects
         LITEERAL- A literal has a fixed value.Ex: WRITE:u201DWORK HARDu201D.
         VARIABLES: Data statement is used to create variables.
    EX.DATA: NUM TYPE I.
    NUM: VARIABLE defined by data statement.
    EX: DATA: PRICE LIKE NUM.
         CONSTANT-It is a data object, which contains a constant value throughout the program.
    Can be declared in program by using CONSTANT statement.
    EX:CONSTANT: INT TYPE I VALUE 15.
    2.     EXTERNAL DATA OBJECT: Are defined in tables i.e In ABAP/4 dictionary you can access this data from table.
             EX: TABLES: SFLIGHT
              DATA: SEATS LIKE SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX.
    3.     SYSTEM DEFINED DATA OBJECTS:Space & system variables like SY-UNAME,SY-DATUM, SY-REPID.
    4.     SPECIAL DATA  OBJECTS:
         PARAMETERS: Are Variables ,which can accept value from user.
          SELECTION SCREEN : Are special internal tables to accept value ranges from user.
    3 APPROACHES TO DEFINE DATA OBJECTS.
    1.     ELEMENTARY TYPES
    DATA: Customer _Name (25) TYPE C,
                   Vendor_Name (25) TYPE C.
    2.     REFRENCE TO AN EXISTING FIELD:
    DATA: Customer _Name2 (25) TYPE C,
                  Vendor_Name2 (25) LIKE Customer_Name2
    3.     REFRENCE TO NON-ELEMENTARY TYPE:
    TYPES: T_NAME (25) TYPE C
    DATA: CUSTOMER_NAME TYPE T_NAME
                   VENDOR_NAME  TYPE T_NAME
    4.     RECORD-Information in rows & columns.
    DATA: BEGIN OF BOOKING,
                                    ID (4) TYPE C,
                                    FLIGHT_DATE TYPE D,
                                    NAME LIKE CUSTOMER_NAME,
                                    END OF BOOKING.
    You can also look into SAP help for more information.

  • Difference between abap object and function

    hi all,

    Try to repeat this using a function group and I think you'll undestand because it'll be very hard to do it.
    By only one function group how can u read the data of a certain vehicle?
    Yes you can create in the function group an internal table where u store the data of every car: in this way u use the internal table like it was an instance, but you should consider here the example is very simple. Here we have only the speed as characteristic, but really we can have many complex characteristics.

    Hi,
    <i>How to know which master data objects need to activated from delivery version to active version in R/3 for a particular standard cube like 0SD_C03.</i>
    I think, you are looking for master data sources(text,attributes,hier).Am i right?
    If so, This cube has almost all SD master data characterstics. So you can activate all the all master data datasources of SD in r/3 (SD-IO).
    Any way you requirement does not stop only by using this cube . You will activate all other cubes in SD also. So if you want to activate only needed master data datasources when you are activating a cube, the job becomes senseless. There is no problem(wrong) in activating all master data available under that application , even though you want to activate only one cube.

  • Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

    Difference between Data staging  and Dimension Table ?

    Data Staging:
    Data extraction and transformation is done here.
    Meaning that, if we have source data in flat file, we extract it and load into staging tables, we take care of nulls, we change datetime format etc.. and after such cleansing/transformation at then end, load it to Dim/Fact tables
    Pros: Makes process simpler and easy and also we can keep track of data as we have data in staging
    Cons: Staging tables need space hence need memory space
    Dimension Table:
    tables which describes/stores the attribute about specific objects
    Below is star schema which has dimension storing information related to Product, Customer etc..

  • Date objects and prepared statements

    Hi, I am trying to parse a String into a Date object with format "dd/MM/yyyy hh/mm/ss". Anyway, i have a method in a separate class which reads in a String and converts it to a formatted Date object.
    static public Date convertToDate(String t) throws ParseException {
    Date dd = new Date();
    ParsePosition p = new ParsePosition(0);
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
    //y, M, etc are retrieved as substrings of String t. I know these methods are deprecated as well
    dd.setYear(y);
    dd.setMonth(M);
    dd.setDate(d);
    dd.setHours(h);
    dd.setMinutes(m);
    dd.setSeconds(s);
    String formattedDate = formatter.format(dd);
    Date theDate = formatter.parse(formattedDate);
    return theDate;
    Anyway, I am trying to use this in an SQL statement because I am using an Access DB which has a field of Date/Time value. Is this correct to use a Date object then? I have a prepared statement -
    PreparedStatement query = connection.prepareStatement(
    "SELECT FText FROM wnioutput WHERE Id = ? AND Section = ? AND Start = " +
    "? AND Field = ?");
    //start is the Date object returned from the previous method in a separate class
    query.setInt(1, id);
    query.setInt(2, section);
    query.setDate(3, formattedStart); - with this part, i get a setDate method not found, or something
    query.setString(4, ch);
    Can anybody tell me what the problem is? I know there are Date objects of java.util and java.sql. Should i be using an sql Date object? And if so, how, and where do I do this? Thank you!

    ok, i just tried
    query.setTimestamp(3, new java.sql.Timestamp(formattedStart.getTime()));
    where formattedStart is a java.util.Date object
    and I get the following error message -
    Error occured in getting endDateAndTime: java.sql.SQLException: Exception in databaseDisplay: the error message is:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    where endDateAndTime is
    // takes in the startDateAndTime as a formatted String (before it is converted into a Date object)
    public String getEndTime(int s, int ID, String stDateAndTime) {
    String end = null;
    gui g = new gui();
    try {
    String sql = "SELECT End FROM wnioutput WHERE Id = " + ID +
    " AND Section = " + s +
    " AND Start = '" + stDateAndTime + "' AND Field = 'Wind50m'";
    ResultSet result = g.queryDatabase(sql);
    if (result.next())
    end = result.getString("End");
    } catch (SQLException sqlex) {
    System.out.println("Error occured in getting endDateAndTime: " + sqlex.toString());
    return end;
    Although this method worked fine before. So the error is in setting the date object in the prepared statement. Anymore suggestions??

  • Difference between Data Provider and extractor.

    Hi
    Can someone help me in understanding difference between data providers and data extractor.
    I have gone through some documents but not able to get the exact difference between them.
    What is the exact role of data provider and extractor with respect to sap solution manager.
    Is data provider== Data extractor?
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    Hello Vijaya,
    From my perspective the Data Providers are responsible for collecting metric values from the monitored objects on the managed sources systems and sending these to the Solution Manager Monitoring and Alerting Infrastrucure.
    Data extractors on the other hand are the reporting objects which are defined on the BW part of Solution Manager and can be enabled by configuring some monitoring scenario's. Once these data extractors are enabled, they will use the data from the "Data Providers" (see above) to setup nice BW reportings on the Solution Manager monitoring dashboards.
    I hope this answer helps you.

  • Difference Between data target and infoprovider

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to BW
    What is the difference between data target and  infoprovider
    Thanks and Regards,
    saveen

    Hi Saveen,
    InfoProvider is an object on which BEx queries are created. It provides information (data) to the queries when they are executed. InfoProviders may contain data (like cube) or may not contain data (like multiproivder and InfoSet).
    Data Target is an object to which you will load the data, like cube, ODS or InfoObject. But it is not necessary that each data target is an InfoProvider...like you may have ODS objects that are not enabled for reporting, but you are loading data to them for staging purpose.
    Hope this helps...

  • Difference between Data-centric and Document-centric use

    Hi,
    Can someone suggest what exactly is the difference between Data-centric and Document-centric use and examples if any.
    Thanks in advance.
    Chaitanya

    Maybe it helps if you look at it this way...
    Document centric: document centric use of xml data is data that you always use in its complete form. If you want to use the data, then you always will retrieve it as one entity or you save it as one entity. You are not interested in the xml data / information inside this "package" / document, you are only interested in its total form. Lets say, you have an invoice which can be printed on one sheet of paper. This paper that contains you data, will always be treated in a document driven way, that is, in its total representation: information containted on a sheet of paper (document).
    Data centric. data centric use of xml, is usage of data were the main interest point is focused on only pieces of the total set of xml data within a document. So instead of being interested in the whole invoice, you only are interested in information like "amount of money to be payed" or "invoicenumber".
    Handling of XML data comes with (hidden) costs. Knowing how your data will be used, has to be used, is one of the first steps in designing you environment (and will have an big impact if you choose poorly). For instance, if you know that your data will always be handled (and must be stored) in a document driven way, then it will make sense to store it based on CLOB based XMLType storage. This will garantee best performance retrieval for your xml document. If you now that your xml data has to be stored so that it can be handled in a data centric way, then Object Relational XMLType storage. If conditions are setup properly data retrieval, inserts and updates will be more cost efficient then when based on CLOB XMLType storage.
    There are more differences and "cost markers" when or when not to use CLOB, OR or for instance Binary XML. The first two chapters of the XMLDB Developers Guide for Oracle 11g will give you a good head start making some of those decisions. Be also aware that you probably will have to make compromises. The current state of XML, for example, doesn't have the final solution yet for a uniform storage method.

  • Difference Between Data type and message type

    Hi,
        i have doubt on data type and message type.why we are mapping the message type why not data type?wht is the difference between data type and message type?

    Hi Narayanana,
    Data type defines the structure of your xml message.Message type is the wrapper of data type.You will be using your message type while mapping and not the data type.Its the abstraction concept used in oops

    Hi Suresh,
    Data Type defines the structure of the message and it will be wrapped under Message Type.
    Hope the details below will clearify your doubts.
    A data type in a programming language is a set of data with values having predefined characteristics. Examples of data types are: integer, floating point unit number, character, string, and pointer.
    The characteristic of columns and variables that defines what types of data values they can store.
    Check out the details:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type
    A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. At the following points in SAP Exchange Infrastructure you can refer to the message to be exchanged at runtime by using the message type:

  • Difference Between Business Object And Class Object

    Hi all,
    Can any one tel me the difference between business object and class Object....
    Thanks...
    ..Ashish

    Hello Ashish
    A business object is a sematic term whereas a class (object) is a technical term.
    Business objects are all important objects within R/3 e.g. sales order, customer, invoice, etc.
    The business objects are defined in the BOR (transaction SWO1). The have so-called "methods" like
    BusinessObject.Create
    BusinessObject.GetDetail
    BusinessObject.Change
    which are implemented (usually) by BAPIs, e.g.:
    Business Object = User
    User.Create => BAPI_USER_CREATE1
    User.GetDetail => BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
    CONCLUSION: Business Object >< Class (Object)
    Regards

  • Differeence between Lock object and enqueue_e_table

    Hi  ,
    what is diff between Lock object and enque_e_table.  Where to use enqueue_e_table and where to use lock object.
    I think with a lock object i can lock more than one table (passing tables  in secondary table). Please correct me.

    A lock object does not really "lock a table" though most of lock objects refer to a database table.
    I explain:
    The principle is that when 2 programs lock at the same time with the same lock object, only the first will succeed.
    If you have a program which does not use the lock, it may update the database table without any problem.
    All programs which update a table have to use the same lock object. Note that users are always able to update this table via SM30 as they don't know the lock object to be used.
    enqueue_xxxx is the name of the generated function module used to lock the xxxx lock object. E_TABLE lock is ONLY used by SM30 if I remember well, so that to prevent one table from being updated via SM30 by 2 persons at the same time. But it is not related at all with programs which would also update this table.
