Problem when creating CAF Entity Service finder Methods

Guys,
Can any one please suggest me appropriatly to the below problem.
I am using NWDS 7.06. I have no problem when creating CAF project, Application Service and Entity Service even.
But in the Entity Service:
1. Add a string or longtext attribute.
2. try to create a custom finder method in operations tab, during that operation i am not finding the attribute which i have created in step1.
That means i am not able to create the my own finder methods with parameters.
I was able to do that in some version long ago but i have forgotten that NWDS version.
summary of Problem Is: " Cannot create custom methods with custom parameters in Entity Service"
Can you please suggest me the right version or a solution to this problem on urgent basis please.
I promise you that i will give you full points to you who ever gives me the right solution.
Please mail your suggestions to [email protected]

Guys,
I have solved the problem successfully. Thanks for your attention.

Problem when Creating Project (Composite Application Services) in NWDS

I've seen a few posts regarding this but I don't feel as if any real solution was given.
I just installed Netweaver Developer Studio (7.0.15) with the current JDK/JRE (1.6.0_07). When trying to create a new Composite Application Services project within the Studio, using the new project wizard, I get an error: Problem when Creating Project.
I get the EJB Module and Dictionary to create within my navigator with no problems, however, during the creation of the metadata, the error occurs. I do have the metadata folder appear within the navigator, but nothing in it. None of the other three items are created.
I have tried the attempt at deleting the metadata folder within my workspace directory and trying again but the same exact result occurs.
Is there any other solution out there for this problem besides attempting to find older versions of NWDS, etc. that are more "stable"?
Thank you!

Durga,
Very simple but effective solution.
I had tried uninstalling / re-installing NWDS with no effect but uninstalling / re-installing NWDS AND all java related products on my machine did work.
Note: For anyone else with this issue in the future. I installed the Java SDK / JRE 1.4.2_18 with NWDS 7.0.15 in case this is also a possible issue with versions.
Thanks, Durga!

How to create index attributes in CAF Entity Service

When one creates an entity service with external persistency (local persistency on the persistency tab is unchecked) you have to create at least one "key" attribute. However, how do you create "index" attributes to improve performance. Currently, if you add custom key you must select "key" checkbox in attribute wizard when creating an attribute and this key field must be unique. This is not what I am looking for. I'd like to create a few custom keys that the contents allow duplicate.

Hi Tom,
This is a very valuable question. Yes, you can add an index for specific fields to the generated database table. You can do in the NWDS, navigate to the dictionnary view and open the corresponding database table. Now you can add an index and assign database field(s) to this index.
However: you must be aware that, if the entity is changed (i.e. new parameters are added), the database table is re-generated and the indices are lost.

Jan

How to use a structure in CAF entity service

Hi All
I want to use a structure as datatype of a complex attribute in a CAF entity service. I tried to use a dictionary structure created in the dictionary part
of the CAF project and added it to the public part of this DC.But I can't find it in the list of data structures while trying to mention datatype for a complex attribute in an entity service. Can any body suggest how to do it.
Cheers
Sudip

Hello Sudip,
You can create a complex structure by doing the following:
1. From the Attributes Tab, right click on your Entity and select "Create Attribute"
- Enter an attribute name and description
- select "Complex Attribute" checkbox
- select "Finish"
2. Right click on the newly created complex attribute and select "Create Sub Attribute". Do this for each attribute in your structure.
This complex structure can now be used in your CAF application and also CAF UI patterns.
Creating complex attributes from the data dictionary is only usually used for creating enumeration types. When doing this, you have to use the CAF enumeration editor to populate the values. The "How to guide" that Jan refers to describes this.

Austin.

CAF DB Update for CAF Entity Service from Web Dynpro

Hi all,
I have created an entity service in CAF called Contacts which contains the following attributes.
phoneNo
cellNo
emailID.
Another entity service called "Person" is created. This contains the following attributes.
personId
personName
personAddr
contactsRef. (Cardinality -> 0..n , Relational Type -> Composition)
That means Contacts entity service is used within Person entity service. Now it is working fine within CAF service browser. Now the Web Dynpro DC of CAF application is used within another custom Web Dynpro DC project. I want to store data from Web Dynpro.
Within the context of component controller of Web Dynpro the structure is like
APerson
 |_ personId
 |_ personName
 |_ personAddr
 |_ contactsRef
 |_ phoneNo (Under contactsRef)
 |_ cellNo (Under contactsRef)
 |_ emailID (Under contactsRef)
So I have written the following code within web dynpro custom method.
APerson person = PersonServiceProxy.create();
java.util.List ls = new ArrayList();
for(int i=0; i<4;i++)
AContacts contact = ContactsServiceProxy.create();
contact.setCellNo("9092130156");
contact.setEmailID("[email protected]");
contact.setPhoneNo("432258");
contact.getAspect().sendChanges();
ls.add(contact);
person.setRelatedModelObjects("contactsRef",ls);
person.setPersonID("9999");
person.setPersonName("xyz");
person.setPersonAddr("ABC, KOL");
wdContext.nodeAPerson().bind(person);
person.getAspect().sendChanges();
CAFServiceFactory.getServiceFacade(idendityDefinition.class);
After saving the data from Web Dynpro I am trying to test it from CAF service browser. But I am getting only the parent row. I mean only the value of personId, personName and personAddr fields which I have stored from Web Dynpro. But no value is coming within the table for Contacts entity service for composition relation.
Could anybody help me how can I solve my problem?
Thanks & Regards
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
Can you do person.getRelatedModelObjects() and get the contact object, to check whether it is null, also check in the CAF DB whether the data you entered is present.
I am not sure the code is actually adding the contact model object to person.
Go thru this SDN Blog on usage of the CMI API's, there is a link for CMI documentation in it which might help you get the right code for adding the contact object.

How to design CAF Entity service?

hello,
here is my question.
how to design CAF Entity service?
i got employees data and departments data.
an employee can join over one department, and of course, a department had many employee.
in tradition RDBMS(relational database management system), i'll create three tables and named "Employee", "Department" and "DepEmp". the table "DepEmp" is a kind of table for N to N relaction.
but when i use CAF's entity service, i can't do like RDBMS.
i can create three entity services, named "Employee", "Department" and "DepEmp". i can make service refence(pull service from left side of windows), but the information about Key(in properties) cannot be "true".
how can i do?
is there a different normalization way i have to learn.

thank you so much, it really help.
but when the issue more complicated.
a employee can join multiple departments, and he/she got different job title in each department. case will like fallow.
Vic is a software engineer in XX company's IT department, and he is a MIS engineer in XX company's HR department.
the db( i'm sorry for take this for example) structure will like..
=======================================
table:employee
column:
employeeCode PK
name
phone
table:department
column:
departmentCode PK
name
location
table:jobTitle
column:
titleCode PK
name
description
table:deptEmployee
column:
employeeCode PK FK
departmentCode PK FK
titleCode PK FK
=======================================
my SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is version 7.0
1. how i make sure that three keys be mapped each other?(empCode,deptCode,titleCode)
2. is there have any "IUD abnormality" risk?
3. if there have, how can i avoid it?
thank you again, i'm sorry for ask much, because the way to design CAF Entity Service is that i didn't learn before. it really make me confused.
have a nice day

Problem when creating Database with Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton

Problem when creating Database:
There are two problems, which I faced during creation of database. When creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
Problem # 1:
When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Problem # 2:

I searched following oracle help for this problem.

Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

We are facing a problem while creating CAF project in NWDS workspace. Even though we have tried in new workspace we are facing the issue. Find the below build error.
We are not getting any error when we build from CBS.

Dont't worry about that. Before you
create a table(or view), it is wise to
drop the table(or view) with the same name.
If the name doesn't exist, of course there
is an error message. See the following script:
-------------------begin-----------
drop table students cascade constraints;
create table students (
sid varchar2(5),
fname varchar2(20),
lname varchar2(20) not null,
minit char,
primary key (sid));

Website structure causing problems when creating livecopy based on a blueprint

Hi,
Our website structure goes like this:
company/
     products/
     services/
     contact us/
     etc...
Our site is single language and hence the structure. Now we have a problem when creating a livecopy (for mobile site) based on a blueprint.
It seems that for the livecopy (based on a blueprint) to work, the site structure needs to be like this:
company/
     en/
          products/
          etc...
It's too late for us to include another layer. What's the best way to create a livecopy based on a blueprint? Or should we just go with livecopy without the blueprint? But then are we missing out on the sync benefit from the blueprint?
Thanks!!

Hi Chaack,
Thanks for this idea. I have tried this before but couldn't get the livecopy to sync.
I tried to do it through the blueprint by right click and select 'rollout'. But nothing happens. The 'blueprint' tab on the page properties on the livecopy site is grayed out. I think the blueprint I created is not associated with the livecopy and that's why the rollout does not work. If the livecopy was created through 'Create site' then the blueprint is available to choose on step1. But not when you 'create live copy'. Is there anyway to link the blueprint to the livecopy if the livecopy was created through 'create live copy'?
Thanks!!!

Problem when creating a sales order with reference by BAPI

I am facing one problem when creating Sales Order.
The scenario is like this while creating SO With reference to an Order type, a new SO will be automatically created with a diff order Type.
I am using "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2".
I am calling this BAPI in USEREXIT_REFRESH_DOCUMENT.
Am I using the right exit to call this Bapi ?
Problems are like :
1. Ref Sales Order creating without Sales Unit .
2. "Object Status does not exist" error msg is coming for Header and Item level(when clicking the status tab and then object status pushbutton). But if testing the bapi from SE37 in test sequence....no such problem persists.
As for example in case of sales unit,in the debugging mode i have seen that BAPI uses a perform to fill the values in the VBAP structure.But after that when it come back to the main program VBAP remains blank.This ocuurs when the BAPI is called from the exit whereas if tested from SE37, VBAP retains the value.
Can u suggest in this ? This is very very urgent............
Thx in Adv.........................

Thanks........
Your suggestion was a great help to me.I have used a custom FM and called it in starting new task.
Since i am a university fresher working in SAP for nearly 1 year.....can you please explain me the difference between in update task and starting new task.Why the problem was occuring for which you have suggested to call a custom function module.
what is V1 update and V2 update?Is it attached with asynchronous ans synchronous update.It would be a great help to me if you kindly clear my confusions....
thanks in advance.

Problem when creating contract with foreign trade / customs

Hi,
I encountered a problem when creating contract / outline agreement.
I used ME31K to create a contract with a vendor outside of our country. I suppose that I should be able to see "Foreign Trade / Customs" in "Header" menu, but this entry is gray, I cannot enter it.
I tried to create a scheduling agreement using ME31L with the same vendor and material, I can see "Foreign Trade / Customs" information. I suppose these two process are similar, aren't they?
Btw., I checked the master data according to this thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ed/3b6cc697e711d1b4e20000e82d81b0/content.htm
Can anyone give me some hint?
Thanks!
Charlie

These two processes are different:
The Contract agreement or the Outline Agreement is that create the centrally contract (cross-plant) where it can maintain different pricing conditions for each and every plant. It creates the Release Order with reference to Outline Agreement. No detailed delivery schedule can be made in the Release Order. No Release documentation is created. Only time-dependent conditions can be created, Some Item Category 'M' and 'W' can be used.
Whereas the Scheduling Agreement is the Plant Location what must be entered in the Scheduling Agreement. Its no need to create any other purchasing document except for delivery schedule line via Transaction ME38 or MRP running (with the appropriate setting of Source List). Delivery Schedule line items are created subject to your specific requirement. It can create both Scheduling Agreement with or without release of Documentation (subject to the Document Type LP or LPA) with the selection of either FRC or JIT delivery schedule. Either time-dependent or time-independent conditions can be created subject to the customizing in the Document Type of the Scheduling Agreement. Item Category 'M' and 'W' can not be used.
