PLD-Relate To function

Hi all,
In Properties window of the PLD(in Content Tab) if the source Type of the field is Database , then 'Relate To' and 'Next Segment' functions appear where we can link some field . What is the actual use of these functions? How are they different from 'Link To' function in the General Tab ? And what is the use of 'Get Description' check box in content Tab? Can anybody explain please?
Regards
Sudhir

hi,
Pl find explanation here Relate To and Segment To in link
how to relate to & next to the fields in pld
Link To - Suppose u don't want to display tax amount when it is zero.
Create a formula field(Field_xx3) insert field Field_XX2 ! = 0.
Link this field to tax label & its amount.
It won't display tax when it is zero.
Get Description when it is ticked gives description suppose for example Field contains value 'P'
It displayed as Printed.

PLD - Relate to functionality?

Dear Experts,
I am designing the PLD for Cheques for Payments, for which I need to show the Payee as "Vendor Name, Vendor's Bank Name, Vendor's Bank Account Type and Vendor's Bank Account Number" or simply put as for e.g. "Murtaza R.E., ICICI Bank, SB, A/c 0123456789"
now in OCHO there is a VendorCode (or BP Code) field, the vendor's bank details are stored in OCRB table, I have a hint that this is something to do with the Relate To, but I am unable to understand the functionality of Relate To and Next Segment in the PLD, I am using 2005B PL32
Also, does anybody have any documentation on the PLD, it would be great if somebody could send it to me at murtaza at universal dot net dor in
Murtaza

Dear Murtaza,
I could provide you the following if this helps.
Relate to:
This option is relevant for special scenarios only and requires knowledge of SQL.
This field is used for retrieving data related to key records found in tables other than the table linked as default to the current print template.
A key record is a field used as a primary key in a certain table. This key record functions as the identifier of this record and therefore it is required to retrieve any additional data related to it.
For example,if you need to print the name of a certain bank, which is not linked to
the table used in the current print template, you must first create a Text field of Database source type using the required table and select a key record, such as Bank Code. Then, you need to create an additional Text field of Database source type; select the table again, select the required column (such as Bank Name) and type the unique ID of the field with the key record in the Relate to field.
There might be two or more key records in the same table. In this case,
these two key records are required for retrieving the data.
Next Segment:
Use this field when a validation of two or more key records is required, for example, the field BP Bank Country and the field BP Bank Code.To make this double validation, select the unique ID of the next key record field in this field. The field with this unique ID will be used as the secondary validation key record.
We do have one example that could help you out to understand this.
Example:
If you just add the country name from countries table (Countries: Name),
you get no results. You will then have to add another field: 'Business Partner: Bill-to
Country'.And relate the field 'Countries: Name' to 'Business Partner: Bill-to Country' by unique ID.Only then you will get the country name on printing.

Function pool relation to Function group

Hi friends,
Could you please clarify for me how the 2 are related? I can understand function group but not sure what is function pool and how it relates to function group and function module.
I have searched the online help but its not clear to me. Please give me simpler explanations.
Thanks
Sri

Hi Sri - When you interact with a function group you are using an interface which uses the ABAP code contained in a function pool. A function group will always be in only one function pool and a function pool will always have only one function group. The function pool is the parent program of the function group. Each function module is an ABAP include in the parent program. Likewise when you interact with the function module you are using an interface that uses the ABAP include.
When you debug into a function module you will always see the main program as the function pool and the source code is the ABAP include of the function module because that is the code that is being executed. Usually SAPL prefixes the function group to create the name of the function pool.
Hope this helps.

Relative value function is not retrive value correctly?

HI Experts,
When I have used previous function it is bringing correct value. Instead of previous if i use Relative value function it is not bring correct value.
Here i have attached two screen shot. One is for previous function another one is Relative value function.

Hi Mnikandan,
Try by including the dimension in vertical axis in the formula
=relativevalue([Actual];(Month];[Dimension in Vertical Axis]);-1)

@RELATIVE() equivalent function in Financial Reporting Studio?

All,
Is there an FR equivalent function to the @RELATIVE() function in Essbase?
Specifically, I'm trying to select Level 0 descendants of a particular member.
e.g. @RELATIVE(MEMBER,0) would be the equivalent function in Essbase.
I've tried to use the RelativeMember function, but that does not appear to do the same thing.
I also tried to union two selections, but that just returns an MDX error.
e.g. assume I want to return child 2 and 3
Dimension
Parent A
Child 1
Parent B
Child 2
Child 3
Lev0,Dimension NOT Descendant Parent A (this is not the actual syntax, but an explanation of what I tried). This returns an MDX error to do with "NOT".
Any help is appreciated...

That was extremely helpful. I was able to get it working with the following syntax
Descendants of <Member> AND System-defined member list Lev0,<Dimension>
Thanks again for your help.

PLD String Replace Function?

Hello Experts,
I would like to use the Sum in Words option in the field properties Format tab. However, I would like to have this in a language for which there is no LRF.
I have read all the various Sum in Words/Amount in Words threads I can find but I have no special locale based requirements (lacs etc). The default answer seems to be to prepare a FMS query and attach it to a UDF, then pull the variable into PLD.
Rather than rewriting the functionality, it would be far easier for me to use a series of Replace functions (the structure of Turkish for amount in words is exactly the same as English and translating each word (One, Two... Ten, Twenty... etc) with a Replace would solve my problem.
Looking at the documentation for PLD, I can see no prebuilt Replace function - is there any way this can be achieved?
If not, is there any Sum in Words function in B1 queries so I can at least do the replace there rather than writing an entire convert to words query?
Thank you.

Wasn't able to force a string replace - had to hex edit the LRF instead. Quick and dirty, but it works.

PLD & Relate To Issue

All,
I am running 2007 A(8.00.176) SP: 00 PL:35. I am wanting to display a UDF on Order Item form I created in the BP's Addresses in the Page Header of the PLD form. I am trying to relate the Ship-To Code to the Business Partner Address. When I do this I get over 1,200 pages of duplicated items.
What am I doing wrong?
Dennis

Yes, it's clearer now, thank you.
I don't think it's possible to achieve this way. What you can do is to create another UDF on the Sales Order and assign a formatted search to display there the value of the BP Addresses UDF respectively.
Then you can display this field from the SO on the layout.

Nat

PLD "relate to" option

Hi Expert,
I need to know how to use "relate to" on getting row data whereby I am making use of Basekey + BaseLine as the relate key in PLD.
Example:
I need to get the sale order date into the sales invoice printout wherey the sales invoice rows keep the basekey=docentry of DLN1 and baseline=linenum of DLN1. And I need to retrieve back RDR1 from DLN1 with the same way.
In SQL, I can make use of
select docdate from rdr1 where
convert(nvarchar(12),docentry) + convert(nvarchar(5),linenum) in
(select convert(nvarchar(12),baseentry)+convert(nvarchar,(5),baseline) from dln1
where convert(nvarchar(12),docentry) + convert(nvarchar(5),linenum) in
(select convert(nvarchar(12),baseentry)+convert(nvarchar(5),baseline)from inv1 where docentry = xxx)
Or is there anywhere shortcut way to directly get the info?
Thank you.
Regards,
Joan.

Hi John,
The "relate to" option on the PLD is not as strong as SQL query. It can only apply very simple direct link.
You would better to try some other tools like crystal report to manipulate data as you wish.
Thanks,
Gordon

Mapping activity step in BPM and related complex functions/conversions

Hello Experts,
a) I am trying to find out the complex conversions used in BPM process modelling activities such as mapping activity.
What are the different complex conversions/functions which are very widely used/required in BPM projects?
I am talking about custom functions and not the standard functions and rules provided by BPM mapping editor.
b) How do we write a log function which can be used in mapping to log some attributes used in mapping to the java log.
It is just additional logging feature on the top of standard BPM logs. But this additional log feature will be useful in reading logs for each step.
c) I am getting only one document having 3 examples for EJB mapping function (concat, filter, and one good fair )- can anyone provide any other functions and details around in this area?
thx
mike

Hi Mike,
Strongly suggest you close this discussion and create 3 new discussions - one for each separate question. When you pile up multiple questions, often people aren't sure which one to answer, and the discussion stream tends to get very confused.
That's likely to be why no-one's responded in the last 5 days.

Importing error: related to function-based indexes?

I've come across a strange error. I've got a user that has an export dump file who wants me to import the data into a new database. (Its an Oracle 10G database.)
When I use the 'imp' command, the table import completes successfully, but I end up receiving the following warnings:
IMP-00003: oracle error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 942
"CREATE INDEX "X" on "Y" (TO_CHAR("Z",'yyyymmdd')) P"
"CTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(INITIAL 3145728 FREELISTS 1 FREEL"
"IST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT) TABLESPACE "TBSPC" LOGGING"
The table itself seems to have been imported correctly; and all data rows exist. Its just the index that isn't being imported/rebuilt. (Other indexes on the same table were imported properly.)
The only thing that I could find that seems odd is that this index uses functions (the "TO_CHAR" in the index above). All of the other indexes on the table refer to basic fields. And I can rebuild the index manually.
Is the 'imp' command able to handle function-based indexes? Is there some parameter than I need to set to allow it to import these indexes?
(I know the more efficient thing to do would be to do an import with no indexes and rebuild them later...)
Edited by: user588235 on Dec 9, 2009 5:16 PM

Function based indexes should be supported. If it is exported, then it should be able to be imported. This just seems like a weird case. Have you tried to create a different table and then create a function based index on that table then see if exp/imp work?Yes, I have tried creating new versions of the tables (both with and without function-based indexes).
During my tests, I found that I can recreate the problem if I create the table in Oracle 9 and import it into Oracle 10; the problem doesn't occur when importing/exporting between Oracle9->Oracle9 or Oracle10->Oracle10. (However, the user told me that this was an export from Oracle 10.)
One other thing: I've noticed that if, instead of importing into a user account, I import into the system account, it works with no problems. For example:
imp userid='sys/xyz as sysdba' file=mydata.dmp fromuser=use1 touser=use2 ->Results in warnings while reading indexes
imp userid='sys/xyz as sysdba' file=mydata.dmp fromuser=use1 touser=sys ->works with no warning
This makes me suspect that its a problem with the permissions that have been granted. (I've granted 'create any index' and 'query rewrite' to the user account however.)
Not to change the issue, but since this is 10g, have you tried using datapump to expdp/impdp the same information?Might be an option; problem is, I'm dealing with a legacy system that was set up to use 'imp/exp', so altering backup and restore methods will require a lot of work.

Info Related to function module-RSSEM_CONSOLIDATION_INFOPROV3

Hi All,
My Client is experiencing performance issues on our BCS reports. We are using a virtual cube with function module RSSEM_CONSOLIDATION_INFOPROV. they would like to use function module RSSEM_CONSOLIDATION_INFOPROV3 instead, the performance on BCS reports should be enhanced.
In The help file I have read the following things regarding the function module
RSSEM_CONSOLIDATION_INFOPROV3
I request anybody to pls clear me on this as it is very urgent.
1. Performance improvement --> there's no need to process the selection conditions anymore
<b>what does it mean no need to process the selections conditions anymore?</b>
2. Unused table should be cleared.
<b>how we maintain this?</b>
3. Some data returned from use a hash table instead to avoid this
Is the function module part of the next support pack upgrade if not what we do to upgrade?
Pls help me.Very Urgent.

Custom idoc [ related to function module]

HI ALL,
sorry for repeating the question
i had an requirement to create a custom idoc for catsdb table with 4 fields
1. pernr
2. workdate
3. lstar ......
and to transfer it from one application server to another.i had created it n transfered it to another application server. now my problem is in receiver side the data in idoc is not posted into database of catsdb [ at receiver side].
can any one give the code for Custom function module at receiver side so that when idoc is received [from sender] it must be updated to databse tables via this FM.
its very urgent . help me ........................
any suggestions are highly appreciated.
with regards,
Suresh Aluri.

Hi Suresh,
In the receiver system you have to :
1. Create a process code and link with message type using WE42
2. Create an inbound function module using SE37.
For example: BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1
3. Link function module with basic type and message type using WE57
