Reading of attributes of characteristics in APO DP

I am using APO DP V5.
Within DP, I have a characteristic with associated navigation and display attributes.
Is it possible, using macro function, to read these attributes so that they can be used in macro coding?
Thanks,
Bob Austin.

if you had char values for every "prod at customer" value, you can try to load this as a new char. since it will have a one to one relation with the main char there will not be a increase in the number of CVCs and in the macro you can refer to the value of the selected char(led time in this case) directly with ACT_IOBJNM_VALUE()
another way is to use the product master and load the attribute as a extra(tab) field in and then use macro function MATLOC_EXTRA() to read this
but you need to define your material and location in DP (product dorresponding to "product at customer")

Use of planning characteristics in APO DP

I am using APO DP V5.
In my planning object structure I have the following planning characteristics:
- product
- product group
- customer
Suppose I am extracting history data (based on despatches) from an attached ECC system.
As I see things, I have two alternatives for the extraction of 'product group':
1. Extract the product group when I extract the despatch data from ECC
2. Model the product group as an attribute (display) of the product InfoObject, maintain this attribute as part of APO master data, and then read the product group from the product master data when I extract the despatch data from ECC.
What is 'best practice' in this situation.
Thanks, Bob Austin

Bob
Both your Options being valid technically and will work you need to now judge based on the demerits of the methods based on your situation
If you expect a huge CVC population and dont to have say a million CVCs you would want to use attributes thus effectively distributing it into two tables
Your Product Group to product will be one to many i suppose so the CVCs in your MPOS will be reduced by a factor or that ratio
Now this also means that you will need to look at a join of the table if you are using you Attributes as selections. So that is going to take more time and if your client is not patient youo may not want to take that route
Also your downstream planning process and your regular maintainance of your system needs to be considered.
Attributes are good if you want them just to navigate but if you want a forecast profile or if you want a realignment based on them it might end up to be a bit of a pain. I remember we had a post from you on this one and there are a few more points that are not favorable to Nav attribs
So youo need to weigh in the advantages each of these will give you and how much weightage you place on these advantages for your situation.
If you have the Prod group in ECC and can extract it i would prefer that option. Looks straightforward that way

Listing attributes and characteristics

Here is my problem: List the attributes and characteristics of the following tables: Customer,Ord,Item,Products,Price
How do I do this is one script?

The data dictionary views contain all the information about database objects.
SQL*Plus has a DESCRIBE command (usually abbreviated to DESC) that lists attributes for a specified object.

Attributes of characteristics cont_acct are locked by terminated change run

Hello Guys ,
Today we have a failure of master data load, when i checked in the details tab i saw the below error can some one please help me in this.
Attributes of characteristics cont_acct are locked by terminated change run
Lock not set for : Loading master data attributes.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi.....
It means that the infoobject cont_acct is locked by a terminated change run......this situation generally occurs if someone manually cancel a change run.......in this situation lock does'nt get released.......
If you have authorization to delete a lock......then you can delete the lock.........as suggested by Ajeet........
Otherwise run change run for this particular infoobject using the program : RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN....to release the lock........
Hope this helps.........

BAPI to read and change schedule lines in APO

Hello experts,
We want to firm schedule lines inside the firm zone of the APO procurement scheduling agreements with a daily job. For this we are trying to use BAPI BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST3 and BAPI_POSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3. The getlist one does not return schedule lines, it returns purchase orders and purchase requisitions. Are these the right bapis to read and change schedule lines in APO? or is there anyother one we can use?
Thanks and regards,

hi,
U r retriving the elements by tag name.So it just chks the tag name ie.<book> & gives u array of elements.But u need retrive d attribute of <book> tag itself.
=Solution =====
Add one more statement ----> var[]= doc.getElementsByName("book");
Now u hav book elements as an array & can retrive id in for loop
for(var; var.length;var++)
doc.element[var].id.value

What my program do is to get the encoding of XML files and convert them to UTF-8 encoding files, while I need this "encoding" information of the original XML document thus I can convert...
After reading specifications and JDOM docs, the truth turns to be disappointed, no function is provided to get this information in JDOM level 2(the current released one), while it's promissed that this function will be provided in JDOM level API....
Thanx all for your help and attention!!!

How to read the attribute in mapping..

Hi,
My source XML looks like this
<GLDEBITACCT>
 <VALUE>0545-K-2006605-5500001</VALUE>
 <GLCOMP glorder="0">0545</GLCOMP>
 <GLCOMP glorder="1">K</GLCOMP>
 <GLCOMP glorder="2">2006605</GLCOMP>
 <GLCOMP glorder="3">5500001</GLCOMP>
</GLDEBITACCT>
Where glorder is the attribute of GLCOMP. Now I have requirement to read the attribute ( atleast 2 of them)
I have to map to target field checking the value in glorder="1
For e.g. with above XML, if the value in glorder="1 is K than map value from glorder="2 (2006605) to Target 1.
IF the glorder="1 is P map the value in glorder="2 to Target 2 and goes on for another one
How can i acheive this mapping. When I tried putting the value of glorder, i am not getting anything.
Regards,

Hi,
You can use below UDF. Please make sure to select context parameter while creating UDF. There will be 3 input arguments for this function:
1. GLCOMP (a)
2 @glorder (b)
3 Constant (c) --depending upon the target node
Also conext of attribute @glorder should be same as that of GLCOMP.
//write your code here
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
 if(b.equals("1")&&c[0].equals(a))
 for(int j=0;j<a.length;j++)
 if(b[j].equals("2"))
 result.addValue(a[j].toString());
 break;
For target node target1 use K as 3rd argument, for target node target2 use P and so on.
Let me know how it works.

How to remove "Read Only" attribute on folders

Hi
I am logged in with my User account which has full control over my folders.<o:p></o:p>
I have a folder that I tried to add modifications to, however i could not do so because the folder was classified as read only. I have full permissions to this folder. Previously the app that
uses this folder could write to it quite happily, but today it fails. <o:p></o:p>
The 'attributes' for the folder shows a solid square in the read-only box. If I 'un-box' the read-only and apply > ok, when I look at the attributes again the box is still checked.<o:p></o:p>
So my question is, if it's not (which it shouldn't be) some sort of protected Windows folder, and I have full permissions on the folder (supposedly), why does Windows not respect my wishes,
get out of the way, and let me set it to what I want it to be?<o:p></o:p>
I have tried the following methods to fix this issue, but none of them work:<o:p></o:p>
-Adjusting permissions and control, and changing security options<o:p></o:p>
-Using a third party application such as "clear read only" to remove the check on the box<o:p></o:p>
-Using the "attrib" function on the CMD prompt<o:p></o:p>
-Boot Scan for virus/malware that is affecting folder attributes<o:p></o:p>
-Running applications and CMD as administrator<o:p></o:p>
I have heard that if using a NTFS harddrive, then all folders will be automatically “Read Only” and that it is impossible to change that attribute. I find this hard to believe, as all folders
should have some way of being modified, regardless of what HDD I’m using. I obviously cannot change to FAT32, so how else can I get my folders to get rid of this ridiculous error!
<o:p>I have also noticed that this problem is very common amongst Windows users. If this problem has been around for a while, how is it possible that no solution has presented itself.
Regardless, we need a solution to it, because i can't do the things i need to while the Read Only attribute remains a constant on my folders. I thought it may be a virus, but my avast anti-virus did not pick up any infected areas when the scan was done. I
have searched the internet, and no "fix" has solved this issue. The only fix i have not found is a reg edit that could completely remove this read only attribute from all folders. Though i feel this is not neccesary, as i only need the attribute
to be removed from certain folders. Please kindly assist me with this issue, hopefully it will help many others too...</o:p>
Many thanks.

Have you taken ownership of the folder? Please first take ownership of the folder, then change the security options
Take Ownership of a File or Folder

If you have already did this, then run a scan with this tool,

or copy this folder to another location, test again.

Updating read only attributes of class/method

Hi,
I have this standard class CL_QNAO_OBJECT, with MS_DATA as read only attribute.I have written my own class in an enhancement within this class and now trying to edit this MS_DATA within my own class. but I get an error sayng "write access to the READ only attribute is not allowed", is there any way I can change it?
The attribute MT_STACK is changing attribute/parameter to my class, which in turn has this ms_data structure.
Note - I did search sdn before I put it here, I got couple of threads which I dont find suitable for me.
Thanks in advance,

Since MT_STACK is also type ref to CL_QNAO_OBJECT, my earlier guidance still hold true.
Step 1 - When you enhance the class, you would see empty table lines in the class editor. Create a new method in that.
Public Instance Method name Z_SET_MS_DATA
Importing parameter IS_DATA TYPE QNAOD_AOBJECT
Method implementation:
ME->MS_DATA = IS_DATA
Step 2 - In you enhancement in the class, call the method to set the data
Data: ls_Data type QNAOD_AOBJECT
Ls_data-field1 = ‘xyz’.
core_object->mt_stack->z_set_ms_data( ls_Data ).

Unable to read blob attributes in the Asset Filter

Hi,
I am unable to read a blob attribute in the Asset Filter using the following code.
The String attributes work fine.
Can I get some examples for reading blob attributes in the filter?
I am using Webcenter Sites 11gr1
public void filterAsset(IFilterEnvironment env, String filterIdentifier, FTValList filterArguments, IFilterableAssetInstance instance) throws AssetException
String inputattr = getAttrID(env, filterArguments, ARG_CUSTOM[0]);
IListBasic ilistbasic = instance.getAttribute(inputattr);
ilistbasic.getValue("value") // throws No such field exception.. works fine for string attribues
Thanks,
Raj

Hi
In DTP, Filter there is option to write routine. The last button.
Here u can write the below code :
Select <fields> from table into itab.
Read itab into wa_itab where <condition>.
If sy_subrc = 0.
 l_t_range-FIELDNAME = ' '. <give ur field name in source>
 l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
 l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
 l_t_range-low = wa_itab-field.
 APPEND L_T_RANGE.
endif.

Lifecycle issue with table binding + read-only attributes: ADF BUG

Hello all,
I have found what I believe to be an easily reproducible bug in ADF that reproduces in 10.1.3.x, but not in 11g (at least not in drop 6). The best way to describe the bug would be to walk through a simple set of steps to reproduce the bug:
1). Create a new application (ADF BC + ADF Faces).
2). In the model project, create a new Entity Object from the Employee table in the default HR schema. Allow JDev to create an updatable view object and an AM as well.
3). Put a validation rule on the first name attribute of the EO (can be anything, really - I made mine so that the first name cannot be "foo").
4). Test everything using the BC tester if you like.
5). In the UI project, create a new JSPX page.
6). Drag the updatable VO on to your page as an updatable af:table.
7). Put an af:commandButton on the page. Bind its Action or ActionListener to a method in a new backing bean. Put some simple code (I used System.out.println) in the backing bean method.
8). Run the jspx page.
9). Put some invalid data in (e.g. "foo" in the first name field) and click the af:commandButton. Verify that you get an error message and that the Action/ActionListener method DOES NOT fire. So far, so good.
10). Now, to demonstrate the problem. First, look at the page definition for the jspx file. Identify the first attribute that is mentioned (in my case, it was the employee id).
11). Go to the updatable view object and make the attribute from #10 read-only or updatable when new only.
12. Now, repeat step 9 - you should see the error message AND also see that the Action/ActionListener method was executed. You will also see in the messages window that ADF attempted to set the value of the read-only attribute, and thus got a ReadOnlyAttrException.
This issue only happens if the first attribute mentioned in the table binding is read-only. A workaround would simply be to re-order the attributes in the table binding of the pagedef so that the first attribute isn't read-only.
Don't ask how I figured this out ;)
Best,
John

Hi Frank,
Yes, I simply scripted it out this way to contrast the behaviour if the first attribute was read-only vs not read-only. I found the issue on a page in our app that was simply drag-and-drop the VO from the data control on the page.
It's quite annoying, because our particular use case that hit this error is a "save" button on the page. If the commit operation doesn't return any errors (and it doesn't in this use case!), we add a JSF message saying "save successful" - then the attribute errors are further added later in the page lifecycle, so we get 3 messages: "Save successful" and "Fix this error" and "Tried to set read-only attribute" - quite confusing to the end-user when the only message they should see is "fix this error."
At any rate, the fix is to simply re-order the attributes in the page definition - that doesn't affect the UI at all, other than to fix this issue.

Updating Media Content - stuck at Reset Read Only Attributes.

I'm currently using - MDT 2010 on Windows 7 on a Virutal Machine. I deploy my images using a USB stick. (Advanced Configuration / Media). The process of creating a selection profile, Creating Media, and updating my media works perfectly.
I wanted to move to MDT 2012 SP1 on Server 2008 R2 platform. So I installed AIK, MDT 2012 SP1, etc on a Server 2008 R2 Virtual Machine. I setup the MDT same way as my current working model and it was looking good. Next I created my Selection Profile
and Media. Then when I ran "Update Media" it seems to work until it gets stuck at the last process "Reset Read Only Attributes"
Looking for any advice on why it might keep getting stuck here. The only way I can exit the process it to "Stop Execution"
Reminder - on my Win 7 / MDT 2010 box, it works fine and this process completes.
Thanks for any feedback.

What is happening here is that MDT Litetouch console is calling OSCDIMG.exe, and that program has stopped.
Sadly, MDT does not capture the OSCDIMG.exe output for analysis, so we are stuck here.
I have personally encountered problems with OSCDIMG.exe running on my Windows 8 box, where images created with source files from the C: pass, however when the source files are placed on a "Storage Spaces" volume, the program hangs. No response from MSFT.
If you need help diagnosing the problem, you can run OSCDIMG from a console window, just to see what the output is
OSCDIMG.exe -u2 -udfver102 -m -o -h -w4 "<MediaSrc>" %temp%\Dest.iso
Longer:
OSCDIMG.exe -u2 -udfver102 -m -o -h -w4 -yo"<Path_to_Bootorder.txt>" -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"<Path_TO_ETFSBoot.com>" #pEF,e,b"<Path_TO_EFIsys.bin>" "<MediaSrc>" %temp%\Dest.iso

Public Read-Only Attributes

I'm trying to pick up ABAP on my own by reading through various resources I've collected and writing my own programs. Unfortunately I don't have an experienced ABAP guru to ask questions of. I'm hoping someone can help me with the following:
Based on my other programming experience I know that it is very common for object attributes to be defined as private and then accessor/mutator (getter/setter) methods to be defined to provide access to the attribute.
In my study I noted that ABAP allows attributes to be made public but declared to be read-only. This would seem to permit a structure where accessor/getter methods are not needed (the attribute can be read externally) and one would only have to define a mutator/setter method.
My question: what is typically done in 'real-world' programs? Is there any reason why using read-only would be more or less preferred?
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Hello Tony
Below I have listed a few examples from standard ABAP classes. I cannot say whether you find more public read-only attributes than GETTER methods - you will find examples for both of them.
I could imagine that before it was possible to use the functional method call in ABAP that public read-only attributes were an alternative to the "verbose" method cal (see below)l.
" RE-FX: Contract
CL_RECN_CONTRACT-IF_RECN_CONTRACT~MS_DETAIL   " public read-only attribute
" MM: Material
CL_IBASE_R3_MATERIAL->GET_MARA " GETTER method
"FI/CO: Company Code
CL_REEXC_COMPANY_CODE=>GET_DETAIL " GETTER method
" HR: Employee
CL_PT_EMPLOYEE->IF_PT_EMPLOYEE~PERNR   " public read-only attribute
" Assumption: CL_IBASE_R3_MATERIAL would have
" a public read-only attribute MS_DETAIL (of TYPE mara)
" Normal method call (verbose):
