Object type DOCV "Documentation (independent)"

Can anyone tell me which table has the DOCV "Documentation (independent)" object types? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Javier,
Can you give some more inputs into your query?
Is 'DOCV' a business object type you are referring to? In this case to view its attributes and supported methods etc. please use transaction SWO1.
Hope this helps else please revert with more information.
Regards,
Aditya

<b>Also, refer the following questions on ABAP :</b>
ABAP Interview Questions
1. How data is stored in cluster table?
Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
5. How do you get output from IDOC?
Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
6. When top of the page event is triggered?
After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
7. Can we create field without data element and how?
In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
8. How do we debug sapscript?
Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
2. When to use logical database?
Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
3. What is the use of 'table index'?
Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
6. What are table buffers?
Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

Deepti
1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
8. to release an object - use se10/se9
9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
12. Delivery - invoice.
15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
Kishore
1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
methods for enhancement.
14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
Venu Rapolu
1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
values., and append will simply adds the record
3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
8. Ans: se09 or se10
13. Ans: MATMAS
CREMAS
DEBMAS
GLMAST etc...
14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
Satish D
1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
append will append record at the end of table
3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
5. go to system then status
6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
7. no we have to configur that
8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
9. inquiry
quotation
sales order
shipping
delivery
invoice
return goods
12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
Deepti
I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
matches to your selection criteria.
3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
Questions which I have faced in an interview:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
15) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
17) What is pf-status?
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
Go thru these answers:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
- Negative testing
- Positive testing
In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
- Message type
- Message id
- Message Number
- Variable1
- Variable2
- Variable3
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
14) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
17) What is pf-status?
Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
SAP ABAP interview questions
Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into sessions.
9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (Ive never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

Partitioned IOT of Object Type - mapping table not allowed for bitmap index

Hi,
looks like a feature available for standard Partitioned IOTs is not supported for object based tables, namely the MAPPING TABLE construct to support secondary local bitmap indexes.
Can you confirm behaviour is as expected/documented?
If so, is a fix/enhancement to support mapping table for object-based Partitioned IOTs in the pipeline?
Results for partition-wise load using pipelined table function are very good, look-ups across tens of millions of rows are excellent.

Thanks Dan,
the intention is to range partition based on the initial character, so A* -> Text_Part_A, B* -> Text_Part_B, and so on.
Here's an example, using an empty IOTObj_Table as created previously.
1) Set up & confirm some test data (two 'D's, one 'N', and two 'Z's)
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('DEF456',500));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('DDD111',510));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('N3000',515));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('ZZ1212',520));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('Z111X',530));
SQL> COMMIT;
SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table;
TEXTDATA NUMBERDATA

DEF456     500
N3000     515
Z111X     530
ZZ1212     520
2) Just to prove our IOT is enforcing the Primary Key based on the TextData attribute, try to insert a duplicate
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('Z111X',530));
Error starting at line 141 in command:
INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('Z111X',530))
Error report:

*Cause:    An UPDATE or INSERT statement attempted to insert a duplicate key.
For Trusted Oracle configured in DBMS MAC mode, you may see
this message if a duplicate entry exists at a different level.
*Action:   Either remove the unique restriction or do not insert the key.
3) Now confirm that our data has been slotted into the range-based partition we expect using the PARTITION clause of SELECT...
- The two 'D's...
SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_D);
TEXTDATA NUMBERDATA
DDD111     510
DEF456     500
- The single 'N'...
SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_N);

SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_Z);
TEXTDATA NUMBERDATA
Z111X     530

4) And to wrap up confirm an empty partition
SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_W);

Converting OBJECT Type into RECORD Type

folks,
Is there a way to Convert a OBJECT Type into a RECORD Type in Oracle PL/SQL, Because i have a stored procedure with RECORD Type as a IN parameter and as we know that we JDBC doesn't support calling or returning RECORD Types , So i was thinking of sending a OBJECT type and convert that to a RECORD type,
I appreciate any help with the code or point to the documentation,
thanks

DB Adapter - Calling Stored Procedure with Object Type

So, we are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3
We are trying to create an ESB process that invokes a SP with an object type. However, the owner of the package / SP, is NOT the owner of the object type. When going through the DB Adapter wizard, it gives us the following error:
When attempting to use the DB Adapter in JDeveloper to create a partner link to execute a stored procedure. JDeveloper returns the following error:
Unable to import WSDL.
Error while writing wsdl file
Database type is either not supported or is not implemented.
Check to ensure that the type of the parameter is one of the supported datatypes or that there is a collection or user defined type definition representing this type defined in the database.
However, if I create a wrapper package / SP, it works just fine. I'd really like to not be having to create wrapper code for these SPs to work. Is this resolved in 11g? Is there a patch available for 10.1.3.3?
I think this is a JDeveloper Wizard issue, but thought I'd post this here as well.
Thanks,
BradW

This problem can be resolved by granting execute permission on the object type to the caller. For example, if the stored procedure is in schema1 and the object type is in schema2 then you would connect as schema2 and execute
SQL> grant execute on <object type> to schema1
Referencing object types defined in other schemas is documented. This is the described method for accessing object types in other schemas.

Object Type database and BC4J

Hi everybody
I have an object type defined in oracle and I attached that type to one of my tables as a type of a column in that type, assume addr type and table customer with column address
and its type addr.
In BC4J , I created a domain for the type and after that, I added an entity object for my table and I chose the type of that column as the domain I created, after that view object and after that application module.
Now I want to test my application module.
It doesn't bring the fields of that type for data entry. how can I enter something inot my address column?
Please help and thanks for that.
Shahram

Specifically, see the "Batch Client Tutorial" which is part of the following sample Workspace:
.\samples\BC4J\OrderEntry\OnlineOrdersForClients\OnlineOrdersForClients.jws
The TestClient.java and TestClient2.java files illustrate best-practice techniques for using the BC4J client API's for working with master/detail coordinated rowsets in a tier-independent manner using the basic oracle.jbo.* interfaces, as well as custom interfaces that expose methods to the clients. TestClient2.java illustrates working with an attribute of (domain) type TAddress which was created on top of an Oracle8 type T_ADDRESS.

Member function and member procedure inside an object type in Oracle.

Hi All,
Please do have a look at these codes and help me understand. I have no idea about this member function and member procedure. How do they work? Please explain me about this.
Regards,
BS2012
create type foo_type as object (
foo number,
member procedure proc(p in number),
member function func(p in number) return number
create type body foo_type as
member procedure proc(p in number) is begin
    foo := p*2;
end proc;
member function func(p in number) return number is begin
    return foo/p;
end func;
end;
/

Methods are just like functions or procedures in a package, except they're not in a package, their part of an object type.
The object has attributes (which are the variables declared in it).
To use such an object you would do things like this...
SQL> set serverout on
SQL>
SQL> declare
2    v_foo foo_type;
3    v_val number;
4 begin
5    v_foo := foo_type(20); -- instantiate the object and initialize the object attributes
6    v_foo.proc(20); -- call the object method (proc)
7    v_val := v_foo.func(4); -- call the object method (func)
8    dbms_output.put_line(v_val);
9 end;
10 /
10
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.The Type definition you've declared creates the object class, but not actually an object itself.
To actually have an object you need to declare a variable of that object class type, and then instantiate it. When you instantiate the object you need to initialize all the attributes (generally you can pass null if required for each of them to initialize them).
Once you have your object instantiated, you can call the methods within that object as demonstrated above, a bit like calling functions and procedures in a package, except they are methods within the object type itself, and therefore called directly by referencing them from the variable.
The documentation goes into a lot more detail of objects if you look it up.

Comparisons of Packages vs Object Types

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can point me towards any articles or documentation that compares/contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of Packages against Object Types?
For example, I like the ability to have private variables and procedures within Packages but don't know how I achieve the same thing with Object Types so a comparison of the two styles would be very useful.
Thanks all,
Leo

Hmmm. As far as I can tell, these are 2 different animals. The way I look at it
- A package is a grouping of one or more variables, procedures and functions. It is a PL/SQL construct.
- An object type is a type definition that may be used to declare SQL and PL/SQL constructs.
I would refer you to the docs at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14260/toc.htm (under the 10gR2 doc set at http://tahiti.oracle.com, "Application Development" tab) for a good source of information related to your question.

When is object type decided?

I'd like to know when "OLTP Object Type(*)" is decided.
Though I created the planned order in APO, "OLTP Object Type" wasn't determined.
I checked existed planned order in my system and I found some planned orders have already been assigned "5" for "OLTP Object Type" but the others haven't been assinged yet.
When is object type decided? And how can we control this?
*OLTP Object Type = R/3 Object Type = Order_Type (import parameter of "BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3"(Order Category in OLTP System))
The selectable values are the following.
0     Stock
1     Purchase Requisition
2     Purchase Order
3     Sales Order
4     Planning
5     Planned Order
6     Production Order
7     Reservation
8     APO Local Order
9     Advanced Shipping Notification
A     Order Confirmation
B     Delivery
I     Inspection Lot
M     Maintenance Order
P     Project Order
R     Proposed Order
T     Shipment
V     VMI Stock Transfer Order
     Not yet determined
You can check the "OLTP Object Type" from transaction code "/n/sapapo/om16" (Ordmap Anchor Table tab).

Hello Shohei,
"OLTP Object Type(*)" is of more importance to the external system; surely, it would be assigned after the number is changed by the CIF .
The document is created an send it to R/3 or ECC (if you have publication types, Integration models, etc...); when the external system confirm the document and return it to SCM via CIF, the "OLTP Object Type(*)" should be assigned.
Probably you only have this number for documents working on planning version 000, and not for other planning versions.
At the end: "OLTP Object Type(*)" is decided by the external system, when documents go trough CIF.
Please check the following documentation:
"Order Category in OLTP System
The (OLTP or R/3) order category is used in addition to the order number to identify an order that has been transferred from an external (or R/3) system to the APO system.
Some examples of order categories are sales orders (fixed value 3), purchase orders (fixed value 2), and production orders (fixed value 6).
You can use various (OLTP or R/3) order categories for certain APO business objects, such as production orders or in-house production.
For example, a procurement order (BUS10502) in the APO system can contain both procurement orders (category 2) and purchase requisitions (category 1). In APO, the order category is only used to identify an order in combination with the order number. The category is also used in part to determine if an order/schedule line in the APO system can be changed by a user or not (a purchase order, for example, may no longer be changed, while a purchase requisition may still be changed). Generally, the order category is of more importance to the external system. For example, the R/3 system needs to know whether it is a purchase order or a purchase requisition that is being dealt with.
If an SAP (e.g. R/3) system is not linked to the APO system, and this system is to be used to exchange the order information that requires a certain order category, we recommend that you use the standard values, for example category 2 for business object BUS10502.
Orders that are created within an APO system, for example in a planning run, are not given an (OLTP) order category when created, since they were not transferred to the APO system from an external system. These orders all automatically receive (for example, when they are imported) the order category 8 (APO local order). These orders have an APO internal order category which distinguishes between criteria such as in-house production or external procurement. In a subsequent (optional) step, an external system can then decide whether an order created in APO is a purchase order (category 2) or a purchase requisition (category 1) and assign it an (OLTP) order category and an (external) order number.
You find these values in the documentation of the respective function or of the domain fixed values.
Note that certain functions (for example, configurations) are only possible for certain order categories."

Gustavo Pérez

Need help on defining object-type dependent attributes for documents

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to define different attributes for documents (attachments), depending on document type.
I performed customizing activities as specified in IMG notes (define structure and table for the attributes, attribute model, register attribute model with table and structure, map model to object type, map object type to document type)
But I didn't find any new BOL in CM GenIL component with my attributes...
I already have type-independent attributes defined, and I see them in the CMDocument BOL.
I don't know how to use my attributes, nor in code niether in UI.
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Yulia

Creating Business Logic Callable Objects
Use
You use the Business Logic callable object type to make process flow decisions based on dynamic expressions. They can be defined for output parameters and result states and are evaluated at runtime depending on the actual values of the input parameters. This is possible without any coding or use of an external rule engine.
To construct dynamic expressions, you can use a built-in expression editor that provides predefined operators and functions, as well as a validation tool.
The following categories are available:
·        Text functions
·        Numeric functions
·        Date functions
·        Time functions
·        Conditional functions
·        Scientific functions
·        Operators
Prerequisites
You have the appropriate rights to work with Guided Procedures (GP) design time.
For more information, see Portal Roles.
Procedure
       1.      Open the gallery and from the contextual panel choose Create Callable Object.
       2.      From the Type list, select Process Control ® Business Logic and enter the required basic data as follows:
Parameter
Description
Name
Enter a name for the new object.
Description
Provide a short and meaningful description.
Original Language
Choose the language in which the translatable texts of the callable object definition are created.
Folder
Select a destination folder in the gallery.
You can either use an existing folder, or create a new one.
       3.      Choose Next.
The Define Object screen appears. You can see a short description of the object characteristics and purpose. Continue by choosing Next.
       4.      On the Define Input screen, choose Insert New to create input parameters. You can define an arbitrary set of input parameters.
       5.      Once you have created the parameters you need, choose Next to continue.
       6.      On the Define Output screen, choose Insert New to add output parameters.
You can have an arbitrary number of output parameters on the root level. However, you cannot create parameters of type Structure.
       7.      Choose Next to continue.
       8.      On the Set Configuration screen, enter expressions for the output parameters defined previously:
                            a.      Select an output parameter from the list and choose (Browse).
                            b.      If you are familiar with expression syntax, enter an expression in the text area on the left.
                            c.      If you are not sure about the syntax, use the predefined functions from the list on the right.
For a list of some frequently used functions, see Frequently-Used Dynamic Expressions in the SAP Visual Composer Documentation.
                            d.      To insert a function into the text area, expand a node and select the relevant entry.
Each of these functions provides a quick info text description with syntax rules and examples. To view this information, point at the specific entry in the list.
                            e.      To test the expression, choose Validate.
                              f.      Once you have defined the expression, choose Apply to save it.
       9.      If you want to define result states for the callable object, choose the Add option under Result States.
   10.      Enter a name for the new result state and choose Add State.
The state appears in the list.
   11.      Repeat steps 9 through 10 to define an arbitrary number of result states.
   12.      To define expressions for the result states you have created, select a result state from the list and follow the procedure in step 8.
Result state expressions should evaluate to Boolean.
   13.      Choose Next and Finish and Open.
Result
You can test the callable object in GP design time or include it in a process to test it in runtime. If you insert it in an action, you should be able to see all result states that you have defined.
Example
You can create a callable object that calculates the monthly payments to redeem a certain credit amount based on a specified interest rate and time period. It approves the credit request if the monthly payment does not exceed half the monthly income of the person and outputs the amount of the payment. Otherwise, it rejects the credit request.
This callable object has the following characteristics:
Parameter Type
Name
Type
Dynamic Expression (uses the technical names of the input parameters)
Input
First Name
Last Name
Income (monthly)
Credit amount
Period (years)
Interest rate (percent)
String
String

Integer
Double
Output
Name
Monthly Payment
String
Double
CAPITAL(@FirstName)& & CAPITAL(@LastName)
ROUND(@credit* POW((1+@interest/100), @period) /(12@period)100)/100
Result states
(all result states evaluate to Boolean)
Approved
@credit* POW((1+@interest/100), @period) /(12*@period)<(@income/2)
Rejected
@credit* POW((1+@interest/100), @period) /(12*@period)>=(@income/2)

Hi
Master data is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. Master data contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies.
If characteristics have attributes, texts, or hierarchies at their disposal then we speak of master data-bearing characteristics.
Few types of Master Data
1) The master data of a cost center contains the name, the person responsible, the relevant hierarchy area, and so on.
2) The master data of a supplier contains the name, address, and bank details.
3) The master data of a user in the SAP system contains his/her access authorizations to the system, the standard printer, start transaction, and so on.
Use
When you create a characteristic InfoObject, it is possible to assign attributes, texts, hierarchies, or a combination of this master data to the characteristic. If a characteristic bears master data, you can edit it in BW in master data maintenance.
Master data for a characteristic is uploaded into BW using an InfoSource with direct updating.
You can also update characteristics with master data flexibly. In this case the InfoObject becomes the data target or InfoProvider. However, you must explicitly declare the InfoObject in the InfoObject maintenance to be the InfoProvider.
See also InfoSources with Flexible Updating.

Updating Object Type Columns with SQL

Please note that is a re-post from a different forum. I thought I would try this forum as reading through it, it made more sense to post here. Problem:
I am trying to update a column inside a Nested Table Type in my Table.
This is what I got from some documentation I found from Oracle.
UPDATE TABLE(SELECT PROGRAMS FROM TB_ITEM_MASTER WHERE ITEM_NO_ID =1748) IM
SET IM.PROGRAM_ID = 1;
WHERE IM.ITEM_NO_ID = 1748;
Where PROGRAM_ID is a field from the nested table (ITEMS_IN_PROGRAMS_NT) and ITEM_NO_ID is the Primary Key in my TB_ITEM_MASTER table. When I run this it gives me an error of:
ORA-22908: REFERENCE TO NULL TABLE VALUE
I assume this is because PROGRAM_ID is currently NULL, and when it pulls the record back, I am pulling a NULL value. Currently all the values will be NULL in the table, but I would like to create a UPDATE Statement that I will call that will update that value, from NULL to whatever ID.
Here are my def'n's of all my objects for this problem:
--Object Type def'n
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEMS_IN_PROGRAMS_TY AS OBJECT(
PROGRAM_ID NUMBER(38));
--Object Type def'n for Nested Table
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEMS_IN_PROGRAMS_NT
AS TABLE OF ITEMS_IN_PROGRAMS_TY;
--Table def'n
CREATE TABLE TB_ITEM_MASTER
(ITEM_NO_ID NUMBER(38) NOT NULL,
ITEM_NO VARCHAR2(75) NOT NULL,
NOMENCLATURE VARCHAR2(100) NULL,
PROGRAMS DMISDBA.ITEMS_IN_PROGRAMS_NT NULL);
Can someone please help me....I am pulling my hair out on this problem!!! All I want to do is update the column inside a Nested Table. This can not be that hard!!!
