Need help in building a utility...?

Gurus,
I need to build a dynamic selection screen for a utility that will extract data from a legacy database. I am not sure how to do it....I have the design in mind but will need help from you experts in the implementation.
So i need to have to twol radip buttons on the selection screen such that when one radio button is clicked then few other select options come on the screen and when the other radio button is selected then different select options come on the screen.
Once the user any of these two radio buttons and fill in the respective values for the parameters, then i have to fire native SQL queries on the legacy SQL database.
Any suggestions...
First i need to code the dynamic selection screen ....Your help will be appreciated...
Thanks

Please have a look at below link. May be helpful to you...[Dynamic Selection Screen|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a07a330f-126c-2910-c684-d2a45f0f37dd]
I hope it helps.

URGENT | Need HELP to build programmatic view criteria

Hi
I need to build programatic view criteria like below,
((JobId = "SH_CLERK" AND Salary > 2500) OR ( Salary > 2500))
AND (DepartmentId =100)
Kindly help how can we achieve this,
The ViewCriteriaItem objects like below, how to link them to achieve like above statement.
ViewObjectImpl empVOImpl = getEmployeesView1();
ViewCriteria vc = empVOImpl.createViewCriteria();
ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
//criteria for employee id
ViewCriteriaItem vci1 = vcr.ensureCriteriaItem("JobId");
vci1.setValue("SH_CLERK");
//criteria for showing employees whose salary are more than 10000
ViewCriteriaItem vci2 = vcr.ensureCriteriaItem("Salary");
vci2.setOperator(">");
vci2.setValue(new Number(2500));
//criteria for department
ViewCriteriaItem vci3 = vcr.ensureCriteriaItem("DepartmentId");
vci3.setOperator("=");
vci3.setValue(new Number(100));
vc.addElement(vcr);
empVOImpl.applyViewCriteria(vc);

Hi Rajesha,
You can follow below steps.
1)Create VOImpl for VO on which you have query based.
2)Remove Column(eg.JobId) from standard Default ViewCriteria
3)In VOImpl create method to Create View custom Criteria, Add element
public ViewCriteria addCustomVC(){
            ViewCriteria vc = null;
            vc = this.createViewCriteria();
            vc.setName("customVC");
        ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
        vcRow.setConjunction(ViewCriteriaRow.VC_CONJ_AND);
        if(getJobId() != null){
            vcRow.setAttribute("JobId", "' job_id = "+getJobId()+"'");
        }else {
            vcRow.setAttribute("JobId",null);
        vc.addElement(vcRow);
return vc;
}4)Override standard method public String getCriteriaItemClause to exclude above columns
    @Override
    public String getCriteriaItemClause(ViewCriteriaItem viewCriteriaItem) {
        //JobId
        if( "JobId".equals(viewCriteriaItem.getName()) ) {
            return (String) viewCriteriaItem.getValue();
        }else{
            return super.getCriteriaItemClause(viewCriteriaItem);
    }5)Override public void executeQuery() method to add custom view criteria
@Override
    public void executeQuery()
            applyViewCriteria(addCustomVC(), true);
            super.executeQuery();
            removeApplyViewCriteriaName("customVC");
    }Thanks,

pls someone help me to correct the query

Well, you may want to look at the activity for one specific account, in detail, before you try to get involved in summarizing/grouping the detail. That way you will begin to understand what the grouping function in the SQL statement is going to do to you. You do not say what is wrong with your query, but I am assuming that your numbers for the Opening Balance and the Closing Balance are too high. Would that be a correct assumption? The problem, as I see it, is that you are joining the gl lines detail to the gl balances table. That means every record (row) in the join for that account for the desired period is going to have the beginning balance dr and cr columns. So if you sum up that column, you are going to sum up the beginning balances multiple times. What you need to do is first summarize your detail activity by the date, journal source, and journal category, and the debits and credits sums, for the period in question, and store that result, Then do a second query that joins that result set to the gl_balances table. Also not sure what null values are doing to you, if you have them in the debit and credit fields. You may have to convert the null values to a 0 as part of this whole process. Or do this via a custom program. Or if you have a data warehouse, you might want to see if you can handle this in the data warehouse. So some options to thiink about.

Need help to build a navigation from billing component BEABDS_BILLDOC to sales order component BT115H_SLSO on follow up create action

Hello Experts,
I have been assigned to a CRM-UI Object which is basically to create follow-up action i.e. creating debit/credit memos with reference of one/multiple billing documents.
SAP has already provided an option to create the follow-up action for 1 billing document at a time, but the requirement is to create follow-up action for multiple billing documents at a time. For example, There are 2 invoices raised against a dealer "DEL" and due to some reason the dealer wants to send back the products.
Now the dealer wants to create only 1 claim/return for those 2 invoices, Which Standard SAP doesn't provide.
I did some of the development and added the 'Follow-up create' Button to the search result work area of the billing search. But could not able to build the link between the Billing and Sales order Components.
It would be really a great favor if you can guide me to build this navigation link.

Hi Srikanth,
I believe You are trying to implement dynamic navigation..
lv_data_collection->add( lv_descriptor_object ).
I can see lv_data_collection is not having the actual entity just the descriptor object details you are adding in the lv_data_collection..
If you don't have the context node binding between source and destination component, add the required data to lv_data_collection
, in the target component inbound plug retrieve the same data entity and set it on the relevant context node.
To get an idea, check standard component for where dynamic navigation is implemented.
Hope this helps..
Cheers,

Need help in building search query

Guys ..
Problem Description:
I have a huge table that is indexed using CONTEXT.
I want to write a search query that considers the following:
1. number of keywords match
2. takes care of spelling mistakes, synonyms and acronyms
3. proximity - the keywords should not be too far of each other.
e.g. I have this phrase: "Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Brake"
I was thinking of writing a query like:
SELECT SCORE(1) SCORE,
TEXT text
FROM MY_TABLE
WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT, '(Horz | Horizontal) ACCUM (Stab | Stabilier) ACCUM Trim ACCUM (Brk | Break)', 1) >= 0
ORDER BY SCORE DESC
The results doesnt look satisfactory. I have not used "near" operator as i dont know how to use it.
Please help me as I am very much new to Oracle Text.
-G

Well, I'm not going to write the function for you, but we can at least talk through a general strategy.
A lot depends on how you help your users on the front end -- for example, if they're searching a technical document, you may want to return results that aren't perfect matches but you do want to make sure the user picks 'mandatory' and 'useful' keywords in a way that lets you figure out which ones are really important. On the other hand, if you're google and have to handle queries like 'horizontal stabilizer trim brake' and 'were Pete and Jenny in the break room' then you run the risk of spending too much time looking for interesting words, almost doing a full-text search on the query trying to derive meaning.
So I'm going to presume that you have some control over what/how the users generate their searches so that finding keywords isn't the issue.
The plan will be to parse the query a bit to find the interesting words, clean them up, and weigh their importance, then use transformed data to build the query template to score various combinations.
So here's some pseudocode for the function:
function parse_query(pQueryWords in clob) returns clob as
begin
    generate_token_list (); -- split the query into a set of individual tokens/words
    for each token in token_list
        if it's a mandatory word then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token ||'*10' -- weigh the presence of the token strongly
        if it's a useful word then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token ||'*5' -- domain-specific words are also important
        if it's a stopword or reserved word, then do not add it to the list
        if it's not on my lists, then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token
                                     and normaltokenlist := normaltokenlist ||' ' || token
    end;
    --so now, we have two lists, one for NEAR and one for ACCUM
    now build the guts of the template
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq> || normaltokenlist || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq> || replace (accumtokenlist, ' ',' ACCUM ') || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>$' || replace(normaltokenlist,' ','$') || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>? || replace(replace(accumtokenlist,' ',' ?'),' ', ' accum ') || </seq>'; -- first fuzzy the words, then accum
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>? || replace(replace(normaltokenlist,' ',' ?'),' ', ' near ') || </seq>'; -- first fuzzy the words, then near
    return querytemplate
end;So, with a 'cooked' query text that is template-friendly, all we need to do is apply a template that is aware of your inputs:
query_Template_string := '
<query>
   <textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="CONTEXT"> horizontal stabilizer*5 trim brake*10
     <progression> '
|| parse_query('horizontal stabilizer trim brake') ||
'     </progression>
   </textquery>
<score datatype="INTEGER" algorithm="COUNT"/>'
</query>So that's an example of one approach.

Need help in power saving utility (Satellite M40x)

Hi all
I am new in this forum, I need a help, as when ever I am pressing Toshiba power saver it tell me that I have to open the windows power options and use the Toshiba power saver but I can find it there in the schemes I think I deleted it by mistake from schemes scroll.. So how can I restore it so I can use Toshiba power saver?
My notebook is Toshiba Satellite M40x
plz reply soon also u can add me to your msn messenger : my id is :
[email protected]
Thx in advance
adham

When you push the button, toshiba power setting should appear without any message. I set up parameters directly from Toshiba utility so the message you get to open windows power management reveals there is a problem.
Try to reinstall toshiba power saver utility from the recovery cd or you can download it from the drivers download in the official site.

Ok, first you need to be clear what you are referring to...
By "excel file" are you referring to a CSV file (i.e. a flat file you can load in notepad and look at the data) or are you referring to a ".xls" file that is a MS Excel workbook?
If it's a CSV/flat file then you should use external tables to read the data...
http://www.psoug.org/reference/externaltab.html
If it's a .xls workbook file then you will need to set up an ODBC connection and create it as an external database...
e.g.
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT

Hi,
This is a common error. The first thing I would try it disabling "Disconnect Type definitions" under the Additional Exclusions section application properties. If you are using object oriented programming there might be a different issue. Let us know if the type definitions trick works.

Need help dynamically building combo-boxes...

How can I dynamically build drop down lists?
I was thinking about using a dynamic page, with bind variables
set for sql statements inside <oracle></oracle> tags, or passing
the variable from the first selection to the second selection of
another page (or the same page?)...
Another thing I was thinking about would be to base a form on a
DB procedure, and pass the selections to the procedure, and re-
build the lists that way...
I need to avoid client side processing (javascript) because of
accessiblity concerns.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Ajay,
The following is an excerpt of the code I used. Because of a
lack of time, I haven't made the code generic. The code is used
to interface with Oracle Reports 6i & Oracle Configurator. The
configurator (config_hdr_id & config_rev_nbr) parameters are
selected by the user and passed into Oracle Reports using related
dynamic combo-boxes. Pay particular attention to the
wwpro_api_parameters.get_value function as well as the onChange
javascript. Hope you can take pieces of this for an example.
The following is the code for a Portal dynamic page:

Need Help On Using Backup utility.

I have been trying to backup my hard drive using the backup utility that came with my laptop, and I am running into two problems.
First, when I try to execute the backup program it will not recognize my external hard drive even though the it is shown on the finder screen along with my internal hard drive. When I try to manually copy a file to it, I get an error message that indicates that the external hard drive is "read only". I do not know how to change this and cannot figure out why it recognizes the external hard drive as "read only". I use the same hard drive to backup my windows laptop and windows desktop without any issues and there is plenty of unused space on the drive. Any suggestions???
Second, I am trying to do a full data backup of the entire hard drive (i.e. my data as well as the "stuff" my kids have within their area). However, when I go through the "Plan" stage of the backup utility and identify each of the "folders" that I want to back up, within my daughter's folder there are several files with a red circle and a negative sign within the circle. I am assuming that it will not allow me to backup that particular file. Unfortunately it happens to be the more important ones that my daughter wants me to back up (i.e. iTunes). Why will it not let me back them up? Do I have to log in as my daughter and do a separate backup for each user, or is there something easy I can do to get the "backup block" removed from the various files found within my kids' area?
Any help is greatly appreciated. As you might suspect I am relatively new to Apple and the Mac OS operating environment.

Hi, uncbird.
1. What is the name of the "backup utility" you are trying to use? Is this the Apple "Backup" utility provided with .Mac accounts?
2. You wrote: " When I try to manually copy a file to it, I get an error message that indicates that the external hard drive is "read only"."What Scott's reply was probably trying to indicate is that it is likely the external drive was formatted in Windows NTFS format on a PC. Mac OS X can read, but not write to, volumes and drives in NTFS format unless you access them over a network. If you directly connect, for example, a USB 2.0 or FireWire hard drive in NTFS format to your Mac, you cannot write to it from Mac OS X.
The drive would have to be reformatted as either Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format for direct connection to, and use as, a backup device for Macs. While Mac OS X can both read and write to volumes in MS-ODS (FAT32) format, that format is inappropriate for backing up data from Mac OS X. FAT32 does not support the extended attributes, such as permissions, required for a proper backup of data saved with Mac OS X.
You would have to reformat the external drive using the Erase tab in Disk Utility. Note that doing so will render all data on the external drive inaccessible, therefore backup any PC data on the drive to your PC before reformatting the external drive.
Good luck!

Need help on building routine!

Hi,
Here is my scenario----
we have a report which would give the information on developer activities over a period of time. that report would give the information such as, who is the developer working on which request , how much was the planned time for that request for the developer and what is the actual time the developer has taken and so on---
That report does not have the closing date for the request. However it does have the status of the request .
now i need to fill up a field in cube which would calculates the closing date of CR depending on the status of the request and the date ( last date of activity for the request ). now the date field ( last date of activity for the request ) s not in transfer rules. of course it is der in R/3.
in my requirement text it was only written to add one characteristic which we need to fill up in update routine that i had already done.
what i should do now? shall i add one more field ( last date of activity for the request) in TRs? i did not arrive to a conclusion for update routine logic either!
here is what i tentatively willing to written !
if status of the request = closed
then closed date = last date of activity for the request) this filed is not in BW
else ---
can some body help me in buliding code and what should i do with that unavailable date field in BW?
Many thanks in advance!

SQL Gurus : Need Help in building SQL query

SQL Gurus,
Need your expertise to solve my below problem:
- I have a column that had comma separated data, basically there are the levels in a hierarchy. eg The same column could have the following data:
Row 1: R1L1, R1L2, R1L3
Row 2: R2L1, R2L2
Row 3: R3L1, R3L2, R3L3, R3L4
For assumption purpose lets assume that there are maximum 5 Levels
I want to put this data from this column into another table which holds the levels. I am expecting the output in another table as follows:
Col1____Col2 ____Col3____Col4____Col5
Row 1: R1L1___R1L2____R1L3____null_____null
Row 2: R2L1___R2L2____null_____null_____null
Row 3: R3L1___R3L2____R3L3____R3L4___null
How do i achieve this ? ie coverting the comma separated values in a column to separate columns. The # of values in each columns could be different as I have showb above
Regards,
pk

           select 'R1L1, R1L2, R1L3' c1 from dual union all
