Quick Question - iDoc 'empty' fields?

Hi eveyone!
Quick question before leaving for holiday
I just finished my scenario 'iDoc to JDBC (Stored Procedure)' and it works just fine.
But, I realize that if a field is empty IN THE IDOC, this field is not COMING to SAP-PI, therefore, I can't map it to the Stored Procedure.
Is this behavior normal? I mean, the field not come from iDoc because is empty?
(I can see the field in the segment, WE19 in R3 (empty), but not in WE02 neither in the INCOMING of SAP-PI Monitor, it's just not there, because it's empty at the origin).
I´m just 'afraid' I would have to do this special treatment for EACH field...:(
Thanks guys!

Empty fields are not shown in PI monitoring, so it's ok.

If the fields at target side are mandatory then you need to take care in mapping.

IDoc XML empty field

Hi,
My scenario is an outbound XML IDoc.
My problem: when a field of a IDoc segment is empty, this field will not write to XML file.
I checked standard program and i have founded this ABAP line during standard creation of XML:
program: LEDI7F05
line: 704 = 'check not string is initial'.
Why that solution? Is there problem to have in XML file empty field?
Is there a solution to insert also empty field in XML file?
Thanks lot.
Matteo Vernile.

Hi,
You could add the empty field in the XML.
Please follow below logic.
Normally any IDOC use to have some mandatory fields which will have always have value for e.g. segment number.
Then use node function as
Source filed---> Exists ->if true then pass the field else pass constant with no value in it -> mapWithDefaultValue->Target field
Try it out
Thanks

Replaced value is not getting relected in IDOC segment field

Hi,
Need your help for the below issue.
I am replacing the PO # with Delivery Doc # . But the replaced value is not getting reflected in the IDOC segment field(e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.).
Function Module which I am using is IDOC_INPUT_MBGMCR as a copy.
Here is my code given below:
SELECT
            SINGLE vbeln
              INTO lx_vbeln
              FROM lips
             WHERE vgbel EQ e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
Move lx_vbeln TO e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING e1bp2017_gm_item_create
               TO goodsmvt_item.
Then this is passed as TABLE in "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE".
Please do the needful.

Hi Dheepa,
Check it in debug whether the filed is empty or having po#, when ur code is executed for the replacement. if it is empty, po# is populated after ur code. in this case you need to write the code in suitable place.

Cannot type in empty fields in Firefox but can in Chrome and Safari

When I go to Firefox Help area, I can never type in the empty fields. I have to open Chrome or Safari.

Empty field doubt

Hi all,
As I am beginners in MDM and learning from your question and answer can any one tell me from where can I found this empty field option.
I have seen the answer that empty field is used when ever the value is missing in source field.
please explain.
Thanks

Hi,
   When you use add field command in import manager, MDM creates an empty field in souce
hierarchy tree.
   Whenever source data is not available for a particular destination field , we add an empty field contains
   null value in souce and map to the corresponding destination field.
To create an empty field in import manager
Select the table in which you want to add an empty field in the source hierarchy tree
Right click on the node and choose add field from the context menu.
MDM adds new field node named New Field and give the name whatever you want for New Field.
Then it becomes empty field as it contains null value.
After that map the empty field to the corresponding destination field.
Hope it helps
Cheers,
Narendra.

SDATA EMPTY FIELD

HY yall ,
i having an issue with my inbound custom idoc with data coming from AMM thru SAP-PI.
when one field of a segment is empty, the field is not transmitted in the segment therefor all the wa in witch i do a move-corresponding is complety false.
How can i manage that issue?
types : begin of ty_input_wf02_1.
types: docnum type edi_docnum.
          include structure zamm_wf02_1.
types: end of ty_input_wf02_1.
wa_input_wf02_1 type ty_input_wf02_1
loop at idoc_contrl into wa_idoc_contrl.
    clear wa_idoc_data.
    read table idoc_data into wa_idoc_data with key docnum = wa_idoc_contrl-docnum.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      clear: wa_input_t.
      loop at idoc_data into wa_idoc_data.
        case wa_idoc_data-segnam.
          when 'ZAMM_WF02_1'.
            wa_input_wf02_1-docnum = wa_idoc_data-docnum.
            wa_input_wf02_1 = wa_idoc_data-sdata.
            if not wa_input_wf02_1-zwic is initial.
              append wa_input_wf02_1 to i_input_wf02_1.
when i do my move-corresponding if one of the segment field is empty, my sdata is completely different because it's doesn't have blank.
how can i my manage this issue in other never have to worry if one field is empty or not?
Thanx

Hi,
The Empty Fields is used when a field is missing from the Source and all the values in the Source are Null.
When this field is required, then we do not need to add this field in the Source. Infact, we can do this in Import Manager also. Provided the only Value in this source field is NULL
1. Then You use this option of Empty Fields by Adding a Field in the Source hierarchy.
2. Map the Added field to the Destination
3. Map the Null Value to the Destination value.
For further understanding , Please refer page No- 90 & 228.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

Replace the empty field with below data content field in xml pub report

Hi Gurus,
Please give me the solution for the Replacement of empty field with below data content field in XML PUBLISHER REPORT.
ex:
Name:Philips.M
Address 1:XP APPTS,
Address 2:S:R ROAD
Address 3:
COUNTRY:INDIA
Here i have to get only address 1,address 2 and the COUNTRY data.I dont want to display Address 3 field here.
Thanks,
David

I'm not sure if this answers your question but you could try putting out the address all in one item in the SQL eg somthing like:
address1 || DECODE(address1, NULL, NULL, 'newline character') ||
address2 || DECODE(address2, NULL, NULL, 'newline character') ||
address3 || DECODE(address3, NULL, NULL, 'newline character')
where 'newline character' is somthing like CHR(12)

Report Generation Toolkit Error Quick Question

Hi,
I created the most awesome LabVIEW report ever at my desk using a trial version of the RGT and Office 2003. I took this to my production machine and ")@#(&%(*#^%()^!!!" The production machine has office 2007 and a fully licensed version of the RGT. Both machines have LabVIEW 8.6.0. I've read all the stuff about these errors and something about classes and dll's and whatnot's. So my quick question, is: Instead of matching the versions of Microsoft Office as recommended, can I just rewrite from scratch the VI that creates this world's most awesome LabVIEW report on the production machine to create the same effect?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Quick Answer: Probably
Slower answer: Microsoft changed a lot of things behind the scenes in Office 2007, but the Report Generation toolkit version 1.1.3 supports Office 2007 so you should be good to go. Depends on what functions are included in your VI. Liek the read me says "Several default settings in Microsoft Office 2007 differ slightly from previous versions. Reports you generate using Office 2007 might look different than reports you generate from other versions of Office because font sizes, cell sizes, and so on, differ."

Database - reports - suppress empty fields

I have a fairly large database which frequently has a number of empty fields in the records. Is there a way I can suppress the empty fields when I print a report? It might reduce a nearly 60 page report to 30. A significant saving.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Here is an enhanced version.
--[SCRIPT report visible records]
Enregistrer en tant que Script: report visible records.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:AppleWorks 6:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier AppleWorks 6 et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir votre base de données,
rendre visible les fiches à imprimer
menu Scripts > AppleWorks 6 > report visible records
Le script crée un document traitement de texte à partir du contenu de ces fiches
À droite des noms de champs, le script insère un caractère 'deux points' suivi d'un TAB ce qui permet d'aligner aisément le début des données affichées.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as Script: report visible records.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:AppleWorks 6:
Maybe you would have to create the folder AppleWorks 6 and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Open your database
Make visibles the records to print.
menu Scripts > AppleWorks 6 > report visible records
The script creates a new WP document with the contents of these records.
After the fields name, it inserts a colon and a TAB so it would be easy to align the beginning of data values
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

Hi there,
I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
Just a couple of quick questions.
1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file. Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead?
If so, should I delete the library and start again? (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
- a kind of sub-question to this one: some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD. Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes? Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes. The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes. When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes? Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
Cheers,

The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count. Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder. By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media. All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

Contract - problem with attachements (empty field in LOIO_OBJID)

Hi Guys,
We are using extended classic scenario of SRM 4.0 (SRM Server 500) and our latest support package is SAPKIBKS12. We have the following problem with contracts.
Sometimes when an attachment is added to a contract the system does not fill the following fields in tabel BBP_PDATT.
LOIO_CLASS: Normally filled with BBP_L_DOC
LOIO_OBJID: Normaly filled with a GUID size datastring
Whenever this happens and later on the contract is changed and released the system will raise an abort. We tried the following notes but no good result.
891293,919467,932602,964065. Some other notes that might be possible are 1042826/1085700/1083063 but we also don't have good experience with these ones.
Can anyone give us advice about two things.
1) Is there a way to fill the empty fields in BBP_PDATT so that existing contract will work properly again?
2) Does anyone know why this problem occurs and how to fix it for new contracts?
Hope to hear from you,
Arie

Quick question re select-options

Hi
I am relatively new to ABAP but have a quick question:
I need to create a select-options which does the following:
1. Allows ONLY "equals" signs
2. Disallows intervals
3. Disallows the use of ranges in the multiple selection box.
4. Allows multiple individual selections.
I can achieve most using the following:
select-options s_knvh for knvh-kunnr no intervals.
However, this still allows ranges using the multiple selection box, and also allows the "not equal to" option.
Adding the "no-extension" syntax simply removes my ability to use multiple individual entries.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

URGENT HELP: When some users submit, application carries empty fields from html components to plsql code

Hi APEX users and developer, especially forum's active users, please get me rid of this problem because it is really very bad situation.
I have a real trouble with application. It behaves unusual. Application is used by 60 users but only 3 of them have these problem and they can not use the application anymore.
Application is
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=70547
After fields are filled and some rows checked from tabular form in page, user submits the page. Process called newReyestr calls plsql procedure from package with inputs from page. But only same 3 users get empty fields in plsql code. I see it just after when the first line stepped in procedure.
So, "what is the problem?"

Hi NoGot,
you know, I have not written big quote. The code was big. But it has no any meaning. Because problem is in first line. No need to understand it.
There is no any difference between those users. They also tried it from different browser and even computers.
BTW: I am not russian.
