Creating User Defined Fields via DI API

Hello,
Has anyone tried creating User Defined Fields via DI without direct database intervention ? My add on relies on some UDF's that have to be created on install.
Thank you

I regularly use the UI API to do this. You can find several discussions on this forum. I have not put this in my installation program, but I use UserFieldsMD in the DI API and a CSV file from Excel to store the information about the fields.

Can i create user-defined fields that are checkboxes?

I need to create a set of user defined fields on Activities that are a checkboxes. I cant see any options in the manage user fields dialog to set the field as a checkbox, the only options are alphanumeric, Datetime, Units & Totals etc.
Can user defined fields be added that appear as checkboxes? if so, how do i do it?

What you need will not be available by UDF. You need SDK programming for any Check Boxes. However, you may use predefined list for UDF to imitate part of functions of the check box.
Thanks,
Gordon

Create User-defined field for Marketing Documents

I need to create a User-Defined field for Marketing Documents under Title and Rows.
I need to do it via .NET instead of manually go into SAP to create it.
Does anyone can give me idea on how to do this?

Hi David,
There are examples of how to do this in the SDK samples (look for MetaDataOperations project in the DI samples).
There are also examples in the SDK help. Here's one:
Private Sub AddUserField()
'// The UserFieldsMD represents a meta-data object that allows you
'// to addremove fields from tables or change the fields' characteristics
    Dim oUserFieldsMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'// In any meta-data operation there should be no other object "alive"
'// but the meta-data object, otherwise the operation will fail.
'// This restriction is intended to prevent a collisions.
    '// The meta-data object needs to be initialized with a
    '// regular UserFields object
    Set oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(oUserFields)
    '// When adding user tables or fields to the SAP Business One database
    '// use a prefix identifying your partner name space
    '// this will prevent collisions between the various partners add-ons
    '// SAP's name space prefix is "BE_"
    '// Set the Fields' mandatory properties
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "OCRD" '// BP table
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = "BE_UserField1"
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = "A user field"
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha '// am alphanumeric type
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 20
    '// Add the field to the table
    oUserFieldsMD.Add
End Sub

Not able to edit user defined reports

Hi,
I've run into an issue recently with user defined reports. After some time, I'm not able to edit them. This only happens on some of them. Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks.

Hi,
The platform is Windows XP Pro (32 bit) sp3, sql developer 1.5.5 (although I've seen this happen on earlier versions as well). After some time, some reports become un-editable. If I right click on the report and click edit, nothing happens. I've also tried exporting and re-importing the reports, but that doesn't seem to help.
Also, I open it up via sqldeveloper.exe, but no console window come up.

Thanks in Advance Suresh

Dear all,
I was searching the community because I had this same error and there was no answer of how it was fixed. So I'm sending how I fixed today in a customer environment.
1. Go to portal http://<portal>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcsecumewdumeadmin/UmeAdminApp
- select configuration
- folder "sap system based in abap"
- do the conection test
If the test fails, log on in client 001 and change user SAPJSF:
- assign role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION (only this one) and one profile that has permission to RFC logon
- you can change the password too
STOP/START ABAP+JAVA
Go again to the portal above and test connection again. The tests should now be OK.
2. Go to portal http://<portal>/irj
- Log on with administrator user
Now you should be able to create an user.

Not able to create users in identity system -OAM

Hi all,
I am new to OAM and trying to create users from identity system -OAM.
I have logged in as 'orcladmin', who is my 'Master Administrator' and 'Master identity Administrator'.
To create the user, I click on 'User Manager' tab and then 'Create user identity' tab but I get a message saying
"*You do not have sufficient access rights*."
Same message comes up when I try to create groups also.
Please guide me on how I can give these rights to 'orcladmin'.
It will be helpfull if you can specify some links where I can learn the basic consepts of OAM(identity system and access system).
Thanks in advance
Roopa

Hi,
Before you attempt to create a user, you would need to create a workflow in OAM Identity System.
Below is the link which will get you started -

Not able to create users in portal.

Hi all,
Iam trying to create users in portal through User administration but the system says:
"Current user has user creation permissions in the UME, but cannot create users in the back-end system (data source). The original and possibly untranslated message was: "No active writeable datasource found for user creation, check your Persistence Configuration.".
I have tried creating in backend system and use in the portal , but the same user does not work there , it says Authentication failed.
Iam using the admin user j2ee_admin having all the admin rights , i have done all the confuguration settings through this user id only.
Please help.
Regards,
Akash

Hi Akash,
check if your data source configuration file is read-only in your ume properties. If it's read/write you may check in the ABAP backend if your communication user (per standard SAPJSF) has write-permissions. He needs to have role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION not SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO

Thank a zillion to both of you...
It was connection problem. Somebody changed my OID's IP address.

One more doubt how to give points to both of you. I dont know how to give points in this forum.

Not able to create conditional required fields at Tcode CJ20N Proj Systems

Hello experts,
I have a requirement to create a few custom fields under custom enhancement tab in CJ20N transaction, and depending on a particular value for one of the fields, another set of fields need to be set to required. (If FIELD1 = 'Y', FIELD2 & FIELD3 should be set to required)
My approaches..
1. Assign a screen group to FIELD2 and FIELD3. If FIELD1 = 'Y' then LOOP AT SCREEN, and set screen-required = 1 for that specific screen group.
Problem with this approach is that, if I select FIELD1 = 'Y' (hit space or enter -> sy-ucomm = TOGGLE), the fields are successfully set to required. However, now if at this point I go and change value for FIELD1 = 'X' (hit space or enter), FIELD2 and FIELD3 still remain set to required, and keep requesting value.
2. Do not set any fields to required. Instead set it to an information message in PAI, informing user that this field requires a value when FIELD1 = 'Y' on TOGGLE and SAVE.
Problem with this approach is that even though during TOGGLE event user is provided with an informational message, if the user directly decides to SAVE (no change for TOGGLE event), in this case the same message is displayed, and the project screen itself is closed. I do not think it would be ideal for the user to see the entire project close on SAVE everytime they miss a conditionally required field.
I am just not sure at this point how to handle this at SAVE so that I can still have the same control as I would when TOGGLE event is triggered.
Experts please help if you have come across such a situation!!! Your insight would be greatly appreciated!

Create user defined field categories programatically

i have an addin that creates multiple UDF's that are then managed/validated on the main form and i would like to prevent the user from amending the UDFs from within the UDF pane so that my validation is always used.
What I would like to do is to create a UDF category from within the addin and assign my UDFs to that category so that they are not shown by default.
I cannot see that this is possible, does anyone know if it is?

Gordon,
The functionality via code is not currently available in looking at the UserFieldsMD and UserTablesMD objects offered. If you need to keep users out of this area, you can use Authorizations to block users, but of course if they need to create other tables or user fields outside of your add-on ... that could cause a problem.
Apologies,
Eddy

B1 create User Defined Field as nvarchar(max) in SQL 2005 database

Hi everyone,
I just created a UDF in B1 as alphanumeric(12), and noticed that B1 created a field in SQL 2005 as nvarchar(max) instead of nvarchar(12). I tested with both 2005A SP01 patch 14 and patch 20. It always creates UDF as nvarchar(max). Is this a bug? It will cause db file use more disk space and also reduce the query performance. Also, B1 won't create the index on the UDF even if you select the option.
Thanks for help,
David

Hi David,
I was running on patch 19 when I wrote my earlier posts. I'm now running patch 20 without any issues. I also have a range of clients who are running SBO 2005A SP1 on various patch levels above 10 (though not all are on SQL 2005) and I've yet to come across this issue.
Did you log this with SAP Support? Have they come up with any suggestions?
Maybe this will work:
1) Start SBO. When you get to the login screen, click on Choose Company.
2) Change the Current Server field from SQL 2005 to SQL 2000. Reenter your server settings if prompted
3) Login as normal and try and create your field.
4) Log out and go back in to change back to SQL 2005
Kind Regards,
