PM structure element

Hello Guys,
I am just wondering what is the exact purpose of using "I" PM strcuture element category in BOM's for maintenance.
I have gone thru the help and nothing in detail. Can anyone tell with a small example and the neccessity.
Mahee

Mahee,
Normally when you create a BOM item , that material needs to exists in Plant. However by defining this item as as PM structure element, provides you with ability to add items that do not have any plant specific data maintained in the material master.
The materials that are not plant specific are generally objects that are identified as of MATERIAL TYPE "Maintenance Assembly" . These materials generally cannot be procured and hence they don't require plant specific data.Basically these are a collection of materials, that make up a main material(Maintenance assembly material) that cannot be Procured as a single material but can be fixed.An example could be a Pump assembly which is no longer manufactured by the vendor.

How can I reach a structure-element instead of structure(value of other variable)

Hi gurus,
Sorry If my question is not really clear.
Now I give result to a structure element.(green)
But I'd like to replace this with the red.
TYPES: BEGIN OF structure,
              x1          TYPE i,
              x2          TYPE i,
              x3          TYPE i,
              x4          TYPE i ,
END OF structure.
DATA: s TYPE structure,
     name TYPE char2.
name = 'X1'.
s-x1 = 0.
s-(name) = 0.
How can I do this? With filed symbol?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
Please check this syntax 'ASSIGN COMPONENT <comp> OF STRUCTURE <s> TO <FS>.'

Drilldown vs Structure Element issue

Dear Gurus,
I have 2 free chars and several structure elements in my query along with 3 KFs. My req is like this.
KFs - KF1 KF2
Struc Elements - S1 S2 S3 whereas say S3 is nothing but a formula S1+S2.
Free Chars - FC1 FC2
Data in Cube:
FC1    FC2     KF1      KF2
A1       B1        1           1
A1       B2        1           1
A1       B3        1           1
A2       B4        1           1
A2       B5        1           1
A2       B6        1           1
When I execute te query its all fine. My report looks stg like this..
S1      3         3............condition FC1 = A1
S2      3         3............condition FC1 = A2
S3      6         6
When I drill down on FC1 and FC2, I see this...
S1      A1    B1    1      1
S1      A1    B2    1      1
S1      A1    B3    1      1
Result                 3      3
S2      A2    B4    1      1
S2      A2    B5    1      1
S2      A2    B6    1      1
Result                 3      3
S3      A1    B1    1      1
S3      A1    B2    1      1
S3      A1    B3    1      1
S3      A2    B4    1      1
S3      A2    B5    1      1
S3      A2    B6    1      1
Result                 6      6
Basically, we do not want to see the breakdown on S3 when we drilldown on the free characteristics...Any ideas how to do this ?

Thanks Rakesh, but thats not what I am looking for. May be I did not put the question right. I want to see the report as below when I drilldown on my free chars.
S1 A1 B1 1 1
S1 A1 B2 1 1
S1 A1 B3 1 1
Result 3 3
S2 A2 B4 1 1
S2 A2 B5 1 1
S2 A2 B6 1 1
Result 3 3
S3 -    - 6 6

Missing images - "XML structure element, not in layout"

I'm putting together handouts for several classes, which largely consists of copying and pasting text from Microsoft Word into InDesign CS5. Images I am placing manually. After re-organizing some of my files, one of my documents is now missing 118 links to images. However, none of these images are actually in my document - in the Links panel, each image says:
"XML structure element, not in layout"
Here's a screenshot of my links panel:
These images are not supposed to be in the document at all. Clicking "Go To Link" does nothing. Is it possible that copy and pasting text from Word could have also copied the images in the Word document as well, without actually placing them on the pages? They now seem to be stuck in some kind of InDesign limbo.
The only way I was able to get rid of them was to delete elements from the XML structure panel, however this deletes the content from my pages, which is not exactly helpful. Is there some way to just remove all of the missing image links from my document? Many thanks for any help!

I was able to solve my problem. After displaying the Structure panel, I apparently had tons and tons of XML elements in the XML structure that were not placed in the document. I've never even seen the Structure panel before so this is totally new to me. I was able to delete all of the XML elements that were not placed in my document by checking their icons.

Check-In not locked for structure element in SOLMAN_DIRECTORY

Hi,
In the solution manager, as a pre-requisite of the one of the upgrade project,
all the BPS nodes should be checked in the solution directory.
But we are not able to check in .
Getting below error message.
" Check-In not locked for structure element PD-PPD of type with object_no 0000847512 "
Message no. MAINT_PR046
Can anyone please suggest what could be the issue.

Please ensure whether both projects have the same budget profile. Other than that you need to carefully investigate how the cost was posted onto both projects in the first place. Please note in case of procurements, budget is only checked at the commitments level (search the forum as this has been discussed before).
In case this does not resolve your issue, revert back with the budget profile settings.

WAD: add new formula / structure element to report run by user

Hi,
I know that there is a possibility to add a formula or "structure element" to a WAD report that is being run by a user (user opens WAD report and can add a formula). We are using WAD 7. Unfortunately I don't know where this function is hidden in WAD (I am new to WAD....).
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Make sure you have the following web item and property enabled in your WAD template.
~ Context Menu Item > Local Formula
Once this is enabled, you can run the WAD report, right click and select Calculations and Translations > Formula > Create New formula
This will populate teh formula builder.
Hope this helps.

The "Use Selection of Structure Elements" Option in RSRT Query Properties

Hi, does anyone know the side effect of enabling this option for all BEx Queries? The help states the following: "The Use Selection of Structure Elements option can be selected for any query; however, it is only useful in some cases. In queries, selections are frequently based on one or more characteristics in the columns, or more precisely, in the structure elements. One or more of these structure elements are often filtered in the BEx Analyzer or in BEx Web applications. If you do not select the Use Selection of Structure Elements option, these dynamic (structure element) selections are not transferred to the database. Normally, the data for the entire structure or for both structures is then read from the database." It sounds to me that there is no harm in checking this flag all the time, but what is confusing is the default state of this option; i.e. unchecked.
I would appreciate if someone can clarify the downside of checking this flag.
Thanks,
Mohamed Judi

Hello Michael,
Checking this simple property helps improve performance in situations where there are many Restricted Key Figures and other calculations in the Query Definition
If analysis of the query performance indicates very high EVENTID 3200 times, and/or the FEMS number is very high try enabling this property and check performance.
Checking this ensures the structure elements are sent to the database for processing.

Security on structure element in Roadmap

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to set security at the level of a structure element in a roadmap?
Here's an example Roadmap I built:
1.0 Concept Initiation
     1.1Establish Conceptual Solution
          1.1.1 Basing on the business requirements
                   1.1.1.1 Create Solution Map
                   1.1.1.2 Process Design Walkthrough
Both User A & B can access the Project Documentation tab under 1.1.1.1 but I would like User A to be able to access the Project Documentation under 1.1.1.2 but not User B. User B should receive a message that he cannot access that particular node because of confidential information.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Danielle
<u></u>

Danielle,
yes, you can do this.
1) Setting
SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN -> Proj. Team Member Tab -> select the check mark
"restrict changes to nodes in project to assigned team members"
2) ensure that the selected users (A and B) are added as team members in solar01
in the administration tab

Condition on a Local Structure element-BI7

Hi All,
BI7, I have to create a structure with 2 key figures and then build a condition on one of the keyfigures.
I have done this but in query designer it gives me a error "condition is created on a structure element which is never visible"
Pls suggest.

Condition seems to be appropriate. definition is proper. its only that its not built directly on a keyfigure, but on a keyfigure which is under a local structure..
Pls suggest

Standard Objects for Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)

In 0FI_GL_4 , there are two fields :
Component    |   Component Type   |   Data Type   |    Length      |    Short Description
PROJK           | PS_PSP_PNR         | NUMC              |      8                Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
PS_POSID      | PS_POSID             | CHAR              | 24               Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
For "PS_POSID", there is a standard Object "0WBS_ELEMT" to be matched.
But ,Which object to match the "PROJK " ?   Is that "0WBS_ELM_EX" ?

Hi,
The object 0WBS_ELEMT_EX is actually for a different puspose.
Check this. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_em70/helpdata/en/d7/22417391807646910d01ee241628e1/content.htm
So for PROJK, i'd advise you to check what kind of output you get for this field in RSA3 and then go from there.
If you already know what it means, you can try to find a similar object in the content, otherwise just create one with similar element type.

Solar01 Structure Element Configuration

Hi Solution Manager Gurus ,
In transaction code Solar01 , There are three default available structure elements such as;
- Organization unit,
- Master data,
- Business scenarios..
as you know that I want to delete/configure these structure elements in terms deleting any of them and/or changing of the namespaces as whatever I want accordingly. I have just created on my own roadmap & flavors (ZPR_DTY_ROADMAP & ZPR_DTY_ROADMAP) when i create my own project by means of SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN that has been constructed by Scope---> Roadmap Select with my own roadmap & flavors (ZPR_DTY_ROADMAP & ZPR_DTY_ROADMAP).
Is it possible to modify and/or delete these default structure elements in terms of given above the scenario? Could you possibly help me in order to solve this issue accordingly?
Kind Regards,
Emrah

hi
you cannot. its standard if you donot what to use do not give any values to them and proceed.

Vision assistant structuring element

HELLO,
I am a new bee to labview.My objective is to "ERODE OBJECTS" through "BASIC MORPHOLOGY" in vision assistant using a 2 x 28 structuring element filter.But vision assistant only provides 3 x 3 , 5 x 5 and 7x 7 order structured elements erode object filter. Is there any way out??
Thank you

The latest version of Vision Assistant 2011 SP1 lets you specify much bigger kernels, but unfortunately, they still have to be the same size in X and Y. Thanks for the feedback. We might consider letting the user specify different sizes in X and Y in a future version.
As Bruce mentioned, you will have to generated the code and do it in LabVIEW.
Alternatively, you can just create that VI from LabVIEW using the kernel you want, call it using the Run LabVIEW step, and still do the rest of your prototyping in Vision Assistant.

Dynamic Structure / Element building

Hallo, I am new to Java and have some problems at building Elements and handling like passing them to some dynamic structure and letting the references be handled without losing the elements in memory.
There are also some questions about general memory usage. I hope it gets visual at this small testclass. Maybe you can pass me throuh to some reference post at topic?
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testvec{
     public static void main(String args[]){
          Vector<String> ob = new Vector<String>();
//          String string[] = new String[1000000]; @tested to add this at vector, but cant remove
          System.out.println(ob.size());
          long mem = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory(); //- Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
          //@1 What about that here? total and free almost same value
          long time = System.nanoTime();
          System.out.println("Total Runtime Mem: "+Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/Math.pow(2,20));
          System.out.println("Free Runtime Mem: "+Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()/Math.pow(2,20));
          JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Runtime stopped");
          //@2 time to look at taskmanager, the value differs to total runtime memory @doubled
          time = System.nanoTime();
          for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
//               string[i] = Integer.toString(i);
               ob.add(Integer.toString(i));
          time = System.nanoTime()-time;
          mem = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory(); //- Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory() - mem;
          System.out.println("Total Runtime Mem: " +Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/Math.pow(2,20));
          System.out.println("Free Runtime Mem: " +Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()/Math.pow(2,20));
          System.out.println("Memory taken @ " mem/Math.pow(2,20) " MBytes" +"\n" +"Time nedded @ " time/Math.pow(10,9) " seconds");
          System.out.println(ob.size());
          //@QUESTION I just want to know how to remove from vector. If i put it in the building loop
          //and remove it immediately after adding, memorysize does not grow. Here like you see the last
          //element is removed, but stays in memory. How to fix it?
          //maybe I have to build the added element in another way? and not at adding but look @tested
          for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
               ob.remove(ob.size()-1);
//               string[i] = null;
          System.out.println(ob.size());
          //Here I ve tried clearing at once, but does not work either that way. The vector is empty and I ve lost Strings in memory
     //     ob.removeAllElements();
     //     ob.clear();
     //     ob = null;
     // System.gc();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"HalloWindow");//@3 time to look at taskmanager, the value differs to total runtime
          //but not that much anymore and there is a little bytechange(seems to have some cases?) if you run sometimes again
}

Hmm, sorry... the format and some bytes were lost between copy and paste.Edit your post and use the tags to format the code.
And what does happen when I remove them while nobody holding references? If nobody has references to the objects, the garbage collector will collect them. Just putting them in an ArrayList won't lose them, the ArrayList will still have references to the objects.
tried also to build dynamic array myself but having problems with memory managmentNo, you have no problems with memory management.
cant get back to the amount of startup, even backwards does not work...That's because you're trying to do irrelevant things. Basically you're wasting your time.
Maybe I should trie interface building object?No, you should learn the basics of Java by going through the tutorials.
Have fun there.Thanks, you too!

Getting metadata for FMs where data structure elements also have structure

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a double post, but I added this initially to a thread that was already set to answered, and I'm not sure of the protocol - if there will be any further responses if that is the case, so I'm opening this new threas as well.
I've been using RFC_GET_FUNCTION_INTERFACE and RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION successfully for a number of years, but now I have a problem. Some FMs, like /POSDW/CREATE_TRANSACTIONS_EXT, have parameters that have structures, whose elements also have structure. But RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION does not give a handle to get the structure of a returned data element.
Does anybody know how I can work around this?

Hi,
I think you can use the code similar to the one below...
some of the things not covered in this are
1. all types for which   CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_NAMETAB' is not returning result, you can call CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION' directly. I have not covered that in this code. Hope this is helps in resolving your issue.
Also, the code is not optimized. So there is some scope for optimization of this code.
