Method ex-post

Hello, I'm doing a parameterization for calculating estimates in 56 APO using the method that analyzes multitude of profiles. Also I have since applied the ex-post method with a value of 1.25 sigma, however the result is not the wait. As I understand it does is correct 25% up and below the values to discard very outliers, however the correction does not make it just as I expected. For example in a series of type 91-1-363-187-500-273-644-328-483-430-446 392 calculates a forecast yet corrected with the metod ex-post series is as follows 97-14-234-187-383-273-520-328-483-430-446 is not correct for me You could tell me if I'm wrong parameterization using ex-post method or is there another way to do so I will mark a result of this type 294-294-294-294-490-273-490-328-483-430-446 Thank You

Data is not refelct by Set_data method in post method of ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

Hi OO gurus,
I'm calling Set_data method to set line item data of PO in POST method in ZME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
But data is not updating.
Can any body give logic how to call set data method in POST method?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: v bheem on Jan 27, 2010 12:51 PM

Hi,
Do like the below code...
method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~PROCESS_ITEM.
DATA: re_data TYPE mepoitem.
DATA: RE_HEADER TYPE MEPOHEADER.
DATA: L_HEADER TYPE REF TO IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_MM.
DATA: L_HEADDATA TYPE MEPOHEADER.
CALL METHOD im_item->get_data
RECEIVING
RE_DATA = RE_DATA.
L_HEADER = im_item->get_header( ).
L_HEADDATA = L_HEADER->GET_DATA( ).
next modify feilds which you want to update of re_data and set values...
CALL METHOD im_item->set_data
EXPORTING
IM_DATA = RE_DATA.
Thanks,

URGENT-Dynamic News Application. Dynamic Servlet Change method to POST

When I first logon to the Dynamic Servlet I get a form with USERNAME and PASSWORD and Categories and Subcategories to select with a "Create Profile" button. After enetering details I get the next html page which is the news detail page generated out of DynamicIE.xsl.
The Form generated in DynamicServlet uses a defaullt method of GET to submit. I want to change it to POST and did it in the code but it does not work. After I changege the method to POST and I click the "Create Profile" button the next HTML with news detial is not displyed, it just displays the same HTML. I checked the syntax of POST looks fine. I followed the code, when the form is submitted RequestHandler.java reads the params and populates the Category,Subcategory and Types vectors and then the function servlethandler.sendDynamicHTML is called which in turn calls the applyXSLtoXML function. In this whole process I do not see why the next form is not generated when the method is POST and why it is displayed when the method is GET.
I changed the methods to POST for the AdminServlet by making the changes in the Admin.xsl and it works fine.
It is really confusing me as the logic of the code should not have any effect with the form submission method. Any quick help will be appreciated.

We are passing the REQUEST_TYPE as part of the URL. If we use the POST method, those values are not able to catch from the java appalication. The servlet is written in such a way that based on different conditions we are displaying different pages. Since it is checking the value of REQUEST_TYPE there and not matching with the values, it ia again giving the same old page.

Setting form method to POST to hide URL using WWW_GET_REPORT with webrfc

I want to hide the URL details when running webrfc reports. The link contains information that we want to hide form the user.
Is there a way of setting the form method to POST rather than GET when running a report using webrfc function WWW_GET_REPORT.
Thank you
Karen

yes its possible.
for example, if you have a report with a selection screen parameter called abc .
(parameters: abc(10) .)
then the code would be
form method="POST" action="http://abaphost.domain.com:1080/sap/bc/webrfc?sap-client=001" >
input name="PARC_ABC" size= 10 maxlength= 10 >
input type=hidden name= _FUNCTION size= 30 value= WWW_GET_REPORT >
input type=hidden name= _REPORT size= 30 value= Y_TEST_WEBRFC >
input type="submit" value="Execute report">
/form>

Default due date , payment method when posting invoice with Special G/L

Hi Gurus,
I have a question is when I am posting an invocie to a vendor (FB60), Due On date, payment method are automatically calculated based on the defaulted baseline date and the payment term in the vendor master. But when I am posting the invocie to the same vendor with Special G/L indicator, Due On date, payment method are not automatically calculated and system are expecting me to enter this date manually. Is there a way we can default this Due On date, payment thod based on payment term like it happens when posting to other invoices without Sp GL indicator ?
Thanks
Edited by: Ngoc Hoang on Nov 29, 2011 8:30 AM

Dear Ngog,
In general, special G/L transactions are used to map special processes
to be stated separately in the balance sheet.So if you use special GL
indicator, the fields relevant to payment terms (including baseline
date) are not displayed. This is not controlled by field status.
To make the fields You need ready for input for posting
with special G/L indicator, the following Customizing setting is
necessary:
Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
->Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing
Payment-> Payment Method/Bank Selection -> Configure payment program ->
All company codes -> double-click on corresponding company code -> under
Vendor -> 'Sp. G/L transactions to be paid' you should enter the special
G/L indicator A,B, etc.
As explained in SAP note 4683, the only standard possibility to get the
field payment terms on creating a posting with a special G/L indicator
is by setting in the payment program configuration (trans. FBKP) for
'All company codes' for customers/vendors 'Sp. G/L transaction to be
paid'.

User friendly method to post a error document

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement. While posting vendor billing in a custom transaction, the posting is not happening because of invalid cost objects. To solve it some alternative cost object must be selected by the custom program and has to post the document. Is there any much user friendly method to do this, apart from doing enhancement either inside the posting custom program to select valid cost objects or designing screen with controls to select valid cost objects and post?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hello Raju,
Its a invoice which the user posts via a MIRO.
I can do it with a FM also, U r right.
There have been lots of issues with rounding values when trying to post a parked document in MIRO , till now such invoices were getting posted. Now, we r getting errors, just trying to find if someone else had encountered with a similiar problem and what was the approach they used?
we get a value of 0.02 difference when trying to post via MIRO for some invoices, till now such invoices were getting posted. Its purely a functional issue though.
We checked the invoice also, its prefectly fine. There does not seems to any issue, just wondering if there has been any exchange rate problems etc...
Thanks,

REPLY to xsl:output method="html" posting

Due to a problem with the discussion software, I cannot reply to postings
with a less-than sign in the Subject!
As you can imagine in an XML forum where
angle-brackets are common, this is a real
pain! The OTN guys tell me they are
working on a solution.
We fully support all options of <xsl utput>
The problem here is that your XSL Stylesheet must be a well-formed XML document, so everywhere you are using the <BR> element, you need to use
instead.
<xsl utput method="html"/> requests
that when the XSLT Engine writes out
the result of your transformation,
is a propert HTML document.
what the XSLT engine reads in must
be well-formed XML.

Sorry for jumping in on this thread, but I have a question regarding you reply. I have an XSL stylesheet that preforms XML to HTML conversion. Everything works correctly with the exception of those HTML tags that are not weel formed. Using your example if I have something like:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<input type="text" name="{NAME}" size="{DISPLAY_LENGTH}" maxlength="{LENGTH}"></input>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It would render HTML in the format of
<HTML>
<input type="text" name="in1" size="10" maxlength="20"/>
</HTML>
While IE can handle this Netscape can not. Is there anyway to generate completely cross browser complient HTML with XSL?
Thanks!

How to use POST method in PI 7.11 when using HTTP adapter

Hi
I need to use the POST method when using the http receiver adapter in PI 7.11. Now the GET method is used. I am using the Addressing Type = "HTTP Destination" where you create an RFC of type 3 in SM59 and reference this in your HTTP receiver adapter.
What do I do?

MIkael

Hi Patrick
I need to use the POST method, not the GET method. The external partner, which is receiving our message, says, that we are using GET.
This is from their log where we are DongEnergy:
From DongEnergy:
2010-01-14 09:46:11 W3SVC1 10.1.2.37 GET /DongEnergy/xxxxxxxxx.dll - 443 - 193.162.91.1 SAPNetWeaverApplicationServer(1.0;711) 500 0 0 214 172
From Danisco:
2010-01-14 07:54:13 W3SVC1 10.1.2.37 POST /Danisco/xxxxxxxxxx.dll - 443 - 193.XXX.191.1 SAPWebApplicationServer(1.0;640) 202 0 0 380 5984
Could it be our firewall which vonverts the method from POST to GET?

Ideal Method GET or POST?

Hi All,
Which would be ideal method for posting data to Search Engine, GET or
POST method?
Thanks
Vinay

Vinay,
Almost certainly GET - but it depends on what the search engine is
expecting!
For example, if you do a Google search for "Award winning J2EE portal
server" you will see the URL looks like:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=ja&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=Award+winning+J2EE+port
al+server&lr=
So there is some simple information about the user's locale, browser and
then the query string itself. You can book mark this URL, or simple open it
with a URLConnection and you will get the results page.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

I can read all the value from browser ..but i couldn't send that to server. I changed ("\r\n\r\n") to ("\r\n"). Still the value is not going correct.
Whether I have to use setDefautRequestProperty(). if i have cookies..how can i send that value to browser from Server or from Server to browser.

NavigateToURL() POST Method...

I am trying to submit data to an ASP page via the
navigateToURL() POST method, but when I try to reference the
request variable.. it is blank. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
script:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.mydomain.com/test.asp");
var keyData:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
keyData.name = "mike";
url.data = keyData;
url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
On test.asp :
if request("name") <> "" then
response.Write request("name")
else
response.write "No Data"
end if
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I encouter the same problem, when my application is launched
from Flex Builder I can send parameters in Post to my servlet. I am
using a URLRequest and navigateToUrl. I need to navigate to the url
because the servlet send me a .doc file I must open.
When I execute the application from an IFrame, the servlet
doesn't receive any parameters (it works if I send with the GET
method). My problem is that I must use POST because the size of the
parameters could exceed the max length allowed by the get method
(1024).
Does someone have a workaround, to call navigateToUrl with
the POST method when the swf file is hosted in a IFrame ? If there
is not, is it a bug of flex, of the flash player or a security
restriction ?
Thanks,
David

Modified your code on the line:
dos.writeByte( request_body );
to:
dos.write( request_body );
and it works with 2 Microsoft IIs servers. I don't know if you ever got this working or if you went to a GET method but we were having major difficulties with IIs servers as well. I figured late was better than never for a response.

Parameters into request-uri using POST instead of GET.

I wrote some servlets that send parameters each other.
The request came from an HTML form, and I used JavaScript to submit it.
Example:
<script language="JavaScript">
function doMyPost(idparam)
document.myform.action=document.myform.action+"?id="+idparam;
document.myform.submit();
</script>
<form name="myform" action="myservlet" method="post">
... 
</form>
In this case the servlet method "myservlet.doPost()" could not find "id" parameter.
Writing:
<form name="myform" action="myservlet" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value=""/>
</form>
Now the servlet method doPost() found "id".
I know that a correct submit with "post" and with an input named "id" would not generate errors (my HTML is very unconventional...), but I wrote "myservlet" to accept only post request, and was easy to build a list of anchors (XSL) which call my script with different values of "id" ...
Why this behaviour? (is due to servlet, or web server Websphere, or browser IE ?).
I found nothing about this in the HTTP/1.1 specification, but I can't exclude some protocol intervention...
Bye,

As I recall, this is in the specification, but it's in the part describing the functionality of a form post.
When the method is POST, the receiving page reads the information from the form-content only, which has been MIME-encoded and appended to the submission. Any parameters added to the URL do get passed along but they are ignored by the POST processing.
You'd be better off adding a hidden field to your form:<script>
function docPost(idparam){
   //document.myform.action=document.myform.action+"?id="+idparam;
   document.myform.id.value = idparam;
   document.myform.submit();
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="">

Method ex-post
