Population of a dropdown based on another dropdown selection

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a form in which a secondary dropdown is populated based on a selection from a primary dropdown.
The idea behind this is as follows
The first dropdown is bound to a database.
From this dropdown a user would select a project.
This selection would form part of a 'WHERE' clause in a SQL query that would select a list of users involved in the project.
This list of users would then be used to populate the second dropdown.
By selecting a user from the second dropdown the database would be queried again and the result used to populate the rest of the form.
I've seen examples where a single dropdown is used to populate a form but I've been unable to find any code examples in which the result of one dropdown is used to populate a second.
Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance.

You can get pretty close out of the box using some configuration manager applet voodoo
1)First off create a Table that will contain the options for your list. Create the columns e.g. label and id and then also create a column called dSecurityGroup
2)Add a view based on the table you just created, choose the Security tab and select "Use standard document security"
3)Add some values to your view - make sure that you populate the dSecurityGroup column with real values of security groups
4)Once it is all published, have a look at the checkin and search screens. You should find that UCM will evaluate the options in the same way it would documents - based on the dSecurityGroup value you applied to the row - e.g. you will see an option on the search screen if you have at least R permissions, you will see an option on a checkin screen if you have at least RW permission
Try it out :-)

Auto populating a column prompt based on another column prompt

Hi,
Is it possible to auto-populate a column prompt, using the value of another column prompt?
My situation is described as below.
I have created a new dashboard prompt. This contains 2 column prompts, for example say col1 and col2. Both are multi-select prompts.
col1 values - a,b,c,d.....
col2 values - 5,2,8,7.....
col1 and col2 values are picked from different tables. Also we have a mapping table which maps col1 and col2. Say a-5, b-10, c-1, d-3 etc...
My requirement is, if a user selects values "a,d" for col1 prompt, col2 prompt must be automatically populated by values "5,3".
Is this possible? If so, please help.
Thanks,
kc.

If the actual filter criteria is only col1 the instead of displaying the values in the second prompt, make a separate report and only choose only the 2nd col in that report and make col1 as prompted and select appropriate title for that report.Place the report above the actual report in dashboard. So it will display only those records which are chosen in col1 from the prompt.

How to Populate a listbox based on another listbox selection. Please help!

Hi Experts,
 I have a requirement where I have two listboxs(dropdown list) in a selection screen. I have to populate the second listbox based on the selected item from the first listbox. How to do this?
I have created a listbox in a selection screen using
Parameters: p_soldto as listbox visible length 30 user-command chg,
 p_shipto as listbox visible length 30.
Then I have tried to look at the value of item selected from first listbox in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT, But I am not getting any value of p_soldto.
I think I am doing something wrong. I think I have to use some event handling like on selection of an item from listbox. But I don't see any such event handing in ABAP.
Please give me some code example.
Please help!
Thanks

Setting prompt value based on another prompt selection

I have 3 prompts. The first one contains 'Y' and 'N'. The other 2 are for start-date and end-date so the report runs for this date range. I would like the start-date to be set to, say, '01/01/2009' if the user selects 'N' in the first prompt. If the user selects 'Y', the start-date will be set to, say, '02/01/2010'. These values are not dynamic though.
Please let me know how I can do this.
Thanks,
Bhusan

Sandeep,
Here is what I did.
1. The first prompt has 'Y' and 'N' that comes from a database table. So did not have to create these.
2. The second prompt - Used the following SQL for Show - select (case '@{LegacyVal}{N}' when 'N' then '01/01/2009' when 'Y' then '02/01/2010' end) from SubectArea."Registration Date". I kept "All Choices" checked. In the default to, I selected "All Choices".
Now when I test this and select any value from the first prompt, the second one does not change. It keeps the All Choices value always. What am I doing wrong here? I went through the earlier posts and tried to follow the steps, but looks like I am not doing the right way.
Thanks,
Bhusan

How to load one filter values based on another filter selection

Hi,
I have a Query/Report that contains the following filters
Product Family
Product Line
Product
all the above InfoObjects are independent, now i need a functionality where in if i select a Product Family then all the Product Line belonging to that Product Family should get loaded in the filter selection, same way when a Product Line is selected the all the Products under that Product Line should get loaded ni Products filter.
Please let me know how this functionality can be achived.
Thanks
Akila. R

Hi Akila,
I am assuming you query runs on a cube that loads data from the source system. In that case cube will contain only valid cobminations of Product Family & Product Line.
In order to make sure that if a cetain Product Family is chosen you want to see only the relevant Product Line as available in the cube do the following:
Go to Query Designer Filter
Pick Product Family > Properties> Advanced. Under the Tab Filter Value Selection during Query Execution choose 'Only Values in InfoProvider'
Do the same setting for Product Line as well.
Hope this helps.

Amrita

F4 Help based on a previous selection

Hello,
Could someone let me know if it is possible to set the F4 help based on another variable selection in WAD?
To be more clear:
I have two variables.
Based on the value the user selects for the first variable, the F4 help for the second variable is to be populated.
Note: Both the variables are created on two different Info Objects.
Thanks in advance.
Kirit

Hello Suvarna,
Thank you for your reply.
But I doubt that if I do the way you suggested, it would be the variable that would be called instead of the F4 help of that particular variable.
The variable I have in my selection screen is having a F4 help by default . I need to restrict the values in that F4 help based on the value selected by the user for the first variable.
I will have to restrict the default F4 help and then assign my custom F4 help to that variable.
Regards,
Kirit

Ref2 on JE not populated for Credit Memos not based on another document

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
When the Setting in System Initialization\Document Settings \General tab\
Document Remarks Include is set to BP Reference Number, the Ref2 field on the Journal Entry for the document is populated with the BP Reference from the document. This is true for all documents, regardless of whether or not the document is based on another document, EXCEPT for AR and AP Credit Memos. In the case of Credit Memos, if the Credit Memo isnu2019t based on another document, the BP Reference isnu2019t written to the Ref2 field on itu2019s Journal Entry. Our customers have complained that this makes it very difficult for them to do their reconciliations as the Ref2 is blank on the reconciliations screen for these Credit Memos. If the Ref2 field were populated in the same manner as other documents, the Ref2 Field would contain the same BP Reference as the invoice(s) it should be reconciled with. We have been asked to request that this functionality be added in a future patch, as it would greatly simplify the customeru2019s reconciliation and save them a great deal of time and effort.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
It is very difficult to reconcile our Credit Memos with the correct documents, as there is no reference available on the screen to connect them to the other documents. This requires a great deal of time researching which Credit Memo(s) should be reconciled with which Invoice(s).
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
When a Credit Memo (Purchase or Sales) not based on another document is created, the Ref2 field on the Journal Entry should be updated with BP Reference entered by the user on the Credit Memo.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
None. Hours wasted trying to reconcile correctly.
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
When a Credit Memo (Purchase or Sales) not based on another document is created, the Ref2 field on the Journal Entry should be updated with BP Reference entered by the user on the Credit Memo.

ADF BC selectOneChoice- populating an LOV based on another LOV

scenario:
country:country_id, country_nme ViewObj: CityVO
city: city_id, country_id, country_nme ViewObj:CountryVO
cc: cc_id, country_id(FK), city_id(FK) ViewObj:CCVO
i have got two combo boxes(selectOneChoice) displaying
coutntry LOV which i created by selecting
base data source:CCVO, list datasource:countryVO
mapped attribute:country_id, display attrib:country_nme
similarly,city LOV which i created by selecting
base data source:CCVO, list datasource:cityVO
mapped attribute:city_id, display attrib:city_nme
objective:
now i need to populate the city LOV based on the country selected.
i added valueChangeListener on countryLOV so that it will get the country_id and execute view criteria on cityVO
problem:
problem is that i can not get country_id value! i explored methods on the selectOneChoice variable accessor and ValueChangeListerner component but no luck!
as i am displaying the country_nme so i have to use DCIteratorBinding to actually reach to the country_id value.
this seems to be a tedious way! plus if country selected again it gives nullPointerException on 3rd line:
DCBindingContainer dcBc = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
DCIteratorBinding iter = dcBc.findIteratorBinding("CountryVO1Iterator");
Row row = iter.getRowAtRangeIndex(vce.getNewValue().toString()); //[error-prone] first time returns the database row of the selected country record.gives exception on 2nd time
Q1. is there any direct way of getting country_id, based on the display name?
Q2. is there any way to refresh the iterator? iter.release(), iter.clear() did not help

Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished.

These are Webi, user created reports.
Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished (this can be obtained via a SQL call, service call, etc).
The issue is that if a user schedules a report for 9PM but a process to move data, etc has not completed then that forces the user to keep re-freshing the report hoping that the process has been complete.
Ideally, in the selection UI add to the dropdown for 'when' the option 'Use Process X completion Time' (since it is a daily report).
Then starting around 9PM check to see if that 'time" value is populated then refresh (run) the report. Or it could just be a flag that the process has finished.
User's in the webi environment are asking for this, and moving their reprots to BO is not an option. That's why they have the custom webi enviroment.
Thank you.

There is no very good way to create a working event based on a file as the file will need to be deleted as soon as the event is triggered. However there are work around which can be done for this. Here is a link which is discussing about the process.. http://scn.sap.com/thread/1677109
Once you have created a file based even in CMC > Events> System Events and made a work around program to delete the file once the event is trigged all you would need to do in webi is in launchpad just schedule > Events > select the file based event from all available system events. Here is a screenshot how to make a report run based on a event..

Event for dropdown selection

Hi.
I am working on CRM 2007 icwebclient. My requirement is for BP creation either individual or organisation depending on ROLE select mandatory fields are changed.
If role 'Prospect' is selected then few fields are mandatory or if 'sold-to-party' is selected more fields are madatory..
Now which event is working behind this dropdown selection. where i have to write my code. How to set fields 'mandatory' at design time. soon reply would be appreciate.

Hello,
as this really seems to be a big Issue for people. Thought as developers you might explore my hints on your own.
For switching the configuration:
Implement the P-Getter for the attribute on the context node with the following code:
CASE iv_property.
 WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_server_event.
 rv_value = 'my_event'.
endcase
This will trigger a roundtrip. We do not need to handle the event.
In your view controller implementation class redefine the method DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION:
METHOD do_config_determination.
* Switch configuration that is used based on field value.
DATA:
 lv_value TYPE char2,
 lv_object_type TYPE bsp_dlc_object_type VALUE '<DEFAULT>',
 lv_object_subtype TYPE BSP_DLC_OBJECT_SUB_TYPE value '<DEFAULT>',
 lr_node TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access.
CALL METHOD super->do_config_determination
 EXPORTING
 iv_first_time = abap_false.
lr_node = typed_context->some_node->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
CHECK lr_node IS BOUND.
lr_node->get_property_as_value(
 EXPORTING
 iv_attr_name = 'SOME_ATTRIBUTE'
 IMPORTING
 ev_result = lv_value ).
lv_object_type = 'MY_UI_OBJECT_TYPE'.
CASE lv_value .
 WHEN 'SOME_VALUE1'.
 lv_object_subtype = 'JIMBOB'.
 WHEN 'SOME_VALUE2'.
 lv_object_subtype = 'BUBBA'.
ENDCASE.
me->set_config_keys( iv_object_type = lv_object_type
 iv_object_sub_type = lv_object_subtype
 iv_propagate_2_children = abap_true ).
ENDMETHOD.
Just paste the above coding into the method.
What it does:
1. Get the value you want to check from one of the context nodes.
2. Switch the UI Object type (Yes you have to define it in customizing)
3. Switch the UI Sub Object type on base of the field value. (Yes you have to define your own sub object type, this is done via a class that is assigned to your UI Object type in customizing)
For the other solution: As mentioned I have not tried it myself.
The variable on the view controller I am talking about is CONFIGURATION_DESCR of interface IF_BSP_DLC_CONFIGURATION. It has got a method GET_CONFIG_DATA that will give you the XML stream and a method SET_CONFIG_DATA. Putting the changed XML back.
If you had done a were used list for at least one of these methods you would have seen how SAP uses them.
One example: CL_BSP_WD_OVW_VIEWSET->DO_INIT_CONFIG() however this will not help you on your problem.
I know there is a method that will decode the XML stream in the single fields with their properties and there is also a counter part to it. I am afraid that many people will use it to bypass the configurations. This will make it very hard to debug the coding. Thus I will not name the class/method here!
For the sake of maintainability please stick to the first method.
I have seen people getting the XML and then hardcoding another part into it. Then someone changed the config and an error occurs. You try to find out why, but the original developer is no longer there and has not documented anything...
cheers Carsten

Dropdown Selection : Populate Tableview

Hi all,
           We have a requirement, in which we have to make a component which is divided into 2 sections.
Section 1: Tableview is populated based on user login
(done)
Section 2: Dropdown which has 2 values
                i. My opportunities
on selecting this, a tableview should be populated displaying all oppts which are owned by the log in user
               ii. Reportee Names
on selecting this, it displays all the people reporting to the login user, and on selecting any of them should again display opportunities of that user.
If anyone has worked upon populating tableview in a component depending upon dropdown values, please help.
     Posting Example code would be of greater help.
thanks in advance,
Rohit

Solved by triggering event on dropdown selection
   IF iv_property = if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_server_event.
      rv_value = 'DDLB_CLICK'.
   ENDIF.
and handling in do handle event.

Filter EPM Property values based on another property in same dimension

Hi,
I need to restrict property values of a Dimension based on selected value of another property of the same dimension.
For example, in Material Dimension, I have properties Planner and LOB
Material
Planner
LOB
100
ABC
LOB1
200
ABC
LOB1
300
XYZ
LOB2
The Planner will select a Planner Name, based on which the corresponding list of materials should be shown along with LOB.
I have tried EPMDimensionPropertyValues but it doesnt allow to restrict the IDs based on another filter condition.
Please help.

Thanks everyone for the response.
As mentioned in the post, the requirement is a bit twisted.
Let me rephrase the requirement:
I need to have two dropdowns ( which should act as filters to the template).
MATERIAL diemnsion has a property PLANNER.
I need to have the first drop down as list of all PLANNERS ( I could do this easily by EPMDimensionPropertyValues).
For the next dropdown, I need to show only those MATERIALS which has PLANNER1 ( lets say, PLANNER1 was selected in the first dropdown).
I am facing issues for the second dropdown, as I cannot have a condition to show the Property (ID) values in EPMDimensionPropertyValues
Also note that MATERIAL is not present in the report ( this is because we need a different aggreagation for material in the report) so we cannot use EPMDiemnsionOverride.
Please help.

From dropdown selection to multiline output

I'm trying to create pdf -form with Adobe XPro where I'll have several Ship-To addresses. What I would like to have is that the user could select the correct Ship-To party from the dropdown.
Since the pdf-form dropdowns are only single lines the dropdown selection could only show the name of the company (e.g. COMPANY A) and by selecting the wanted company, this would trigger the whole (multiline) address to pop-up as described below (on another text field is ok if needed)
COMPANY A
Streetaddress 1
ZIP-1234 City A
Does anybody have an easy solution for this?

I have created one sample form for you, please look at attachment.
The PDF form does exactly what you want.

How to populate a table based on a row selection from another table.

Hi, i just started to use ADF BC and Faces. Could some one help me or point me a solution on the following scenario .
By using a search component , a table is being displayed as a search result. If i select any row in the resulted table , i need to populate an another table at the bottom of the same page from another view. These two tables are related by primary key . May i know how to populate a table based on a row selection from another table. Thanks
ganesh

I understand your requirement and the tutorial doesn't talk about Association between the views so that you can create a Master-Detail or in DB parlance, a Parent-Child relationship.
I will assume that we are dealing with two entities here: Department and Employees where a particular Department has many Employees and hence a Parent-Child relationship.
Firstly, you need to create an Association between the two Entities - Department and Employees. You can do that by right clicking on the model's entity and then associating the two entities with the appropriate key say, DepartmentId.
Once you have done that, you need to link the two entities in the View section with this Association that you created. Then go to AppModule and make sure that in the Available View Objects: 'EmployeesView' appears under 'DepartmentView' as "EmployeesView via <link you created>". Shuttle the 'DepartmentView' to the right, Data Model and then shuttle
"EmployeesView via <link you created>" to the right, Data Model under 'DepartmentView'.
This will then be reflected in your Data Controls. After that, you simply would have to drag this View into your page as a Master-Detail form...and then when you run this page, any row selected in the Master table, would display the data in the Detail table.
Also, refer to this link: [Master-Detail|http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/03/creating-master-detail-form-in-adf.html]
Hope this helps.
