Search for attributes

How do you turn on searching for master data attributes in Bex?  I believe this can only be done for display attributes correct?
Thanks,
TMS

Hello Tracy,
  U.P chamarthy is correct.
This is mentioned in help page:

Sequence of Attributes in Input Help
You can determine the sequence in which the attributes for a characteristic are displayed in the input help. There are the following values for this setting:
· 00: The attribute is not displayed in the input help
·        01: The attribute appears in the first position (far left) in the input help
·        02: The attribute appears in the second position in the input help.
·        03: ......
Altogether, only 40 fields are permitted in the input help. In addition to the attributes, the characteristic itself, its texts, and the compounded characteristics are generated in the input help. The total number of fields cannot be greater than 40.
Thanks,

  • Help needed in Inbox search for Custom attribute

    Hi,
    We have  a requirement where in we are having a custom attribute on Service request to store the ECC Order number.
    We have enhanced the Inbox search to retreive all the service requests havig the ECC order number. 
    Here we are encountering a problem. i just created a new crm service request and entered order number 1234. and now when i search for the same in Inbox search giving the criteria order number as 1234. I get no results found. But when i extend the max list to 2000, then i see the service request appearing in the result list. not sure about the algorithm that is designed for inbox search.
    Any pointers on how to resolve this issue would be of great help.
    Thanks,
    Udaya

    Hi,
    I do not have the time to research this completely, but I had a short look into the class you posted.
    In the GET_DYNAMIC_QUERY_RESULT there is a call to CL_CRM_QCOD_HELPER->PREPROCESS( )
    A little bit lower there are blocks marked by comments for the single searches that are handled by this class. I had a look into the campaign_serach() method. There if you scroll a little bit down (around line 123) they set all search parameters to SIGN = 'I' OPTION = 'EQ'. This is done several times below as well.
    Set a breakpoint in the proprocess() method and check which of the blocks is called and how they handle your search criteria.
    Hope it helps.
    cheers Carsten

  • Search for own settypes / attributes of iObject

    Hello,
    i created some Z-Settypes with own Z-Attributes for individual objects in CRM.
    I also created the assignmentblocks for this Z-Settypes. Now i´m able to maintain the Z-Attributes in Webclient UI.
    My next step would be to search for individual objects (view PRDIOQR/SEARCH) using my Z-Attributes.
    Does anybody know what i need to do?
    The view is already enhanced.
    I found in GENIL_BOL_BROWSER own notes with my settypes.
    No i need to know how to bring this on the search view to search with my Z-Attributes for i objects?
    Thank you
    Best regards

  • Search for display attributes in Web reporting

    Hello,
    When I execute a query in Excel, in the variable entry screen, I can search values for material, for example, using some display attributes as Colour or Size. I mean, I want to execute the report for materials whose colour is white. I can open the matchcode for Material, I select the value "white" for the Colour display attribute, and I get a list of all the materials with that colour. The report is executed for those materials.
    However, when I execute the same report using Web reporting, I don't have the display attributes in the selection screen, to restrict the material. Once the report is executed, in the Navigational block, if I filter the material, there is an option called "Search for display attributes activated", where I can restrict per Colour, but only for one value.
    I have two questions related to this topic:
    1) Is it possible to have the functionality "Search for display attributes activated" in the variable entry screen, for Web reports, in the same way it is available in the reporting via Excel?
    2) Is it possible to configure that functionality, in order to restrict several values for the display attribute at the same time (in my example, for Colours "white", "black" and "red" at the same time)?
    Thanks very much for your help
    Patricia

    Hi Patricia,
    Looks like you have some new navigational attribute requirements, don't you think? I'm sure that would solve your issue, though maybe you're trying to avoid using navigational attributes (it is usually said that using navigational attributes is slower).
    Maybe you can do a test on BEx to check if your query is considerably slower when filtering directly by material code (by filtering on the selection screen using display attributes) or using a navigational attribute.
    Match codes on web reporting have lost some functionalities compared to BEx (such as importing a list of values from a file, for instance).

  • How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

    Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
    If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
    Platform: Windows 8 PC
    Version: Acrobat 8
    If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
    Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Joyce.

    Out the gate you've a problem.
    The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
    "End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
    The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
    The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
    Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
    With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
    Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
    May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
    The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
    The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
    Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
    Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
    Be well...

  • Search for description containing non-English chars -- ?

    Hello!
    I've implemented a search class, which allows customers to search folders/documents by name, owner, description, etc.
    And here's the problem: if description contains non-English (Russian, in my case) characters, search does not work! Everything (AS infrastructure, CM SDK DB, etc) was installed using UTF-8 Unicode charset. When I debug the code, I see that when I build AttributeQualification and later compose a comples SearchQualification, value in these is correct, but when I call getSQL(), I see string like this:
    ... ( nls_upper(ALIASDOCUMENT.DESCRIPTION) LIKE nls_upper('????') ) ...
    So it seems as if SQL converted passed UNICODE value into ANSI string, and since server's system language is English, my Russian letters were lost -- ?
    Can anybody shed some light here? Is there a way to search for UNICODE descriptions (and content, for that matter)?
    Thanks,
    Sasha.

    Hi Sasha,
    I want you to try the following code. It should output the file description and query to a text file. Use internet explorer / or notepad to open this file and ****specify that the file encoding is UTF8.*****

  • Neen help with date range searches for Table Sources

    Hi all,
    I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
    I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
    My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
    TRACKNUM Varchar2
    TITLE Varchar2
    SUMMARY CLOB
    SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
    Timestamp Date
    OBSDATE Date
    GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
    I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
    Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
    Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
    I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
    Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
    In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
    Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 24-MAR-07, 22-SEP-), 02-FEB-08, etc.)
    And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
    Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
    Thanks, in advance….

    raford,
    Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
    I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
    Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
    thanks very much!

  • The following error occured when searching for on-premises exchange server

    I look after a company where I installed a new DELL server last year, The server is running Windows Small Business Server 2011 which we installed. Exchange 2010 was installed as part of the Windows Small Business Server 2011 installation. At the time we
    did not configure Exchange because they use external POP accounts for email. Eventually they wanted to move over to Exchange
    When we created the user accounts using Windows SBS Console, it created a local mailbox for each user
    No problems - [email protected]
    Since late last year every time I create a new user within SBS Console, it errors creating the mailbox

    Thanks for the reply Larry
    I've added more detail about the error, this server is exactly how I initially installed it. This was a clean install not a migration so Exchange was a new installation. I have not applied any service packs as I did not want to confuse matters
    or compound the issue. I was wondering whether to install Server 2008 Service Pack 1 & the Exchange Service Packs. I will check the event logs & report back with what I find.

  • Search for users in a particular LDAP through Web Dynpro code...

    Hi Experts,
    Let me try explaining my problem. In my project we are using two ADAM LDAPs. One for storing internal users and the other for storing external users. I have configured the portal to connect to both the LDAPs. I am able to search for the users created in both the LDAPs through portal Indentity Management.
    I am trying to search for the users in a specific LDAP through Web Dynpro coding... I am not lucky enough to get it done. Let me explain you what I did.
    I created a custom attribute for UME through config tool. Gave a physical mapping for the custom attribute in dataSourceConfig_xxx.xml to the LDAP attribute distinguishedName which returns the distinguished Name for the user in ADAM LDAP.
    For Example: Custom attribute in UME is ldapuser which is mapped to distinguishedName attribute in ADAM LDAP in dataSourceConfig_xxx.xml.
    When I do a search for the users in a particular LDAP, I am trying to put a filter to the newly created ldapuser attribute to distinguish between the two LDAPs.
    The search will result if I pass the value as '*'. If I try to specify the user path for the LDAP in this attribute it doesnt result any data.
    For example:
    userSearchFilter.setSearchAttribute(
         "com.sap.com.cust.admn",
          "ldapuser",
         "OU=16482515,OU=Members",
         ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR,
         false);
    The above code will not return the data, whereas
    userSearchFilter.setSearchAttribute(
         "com.sap.com.cust.admn",
          "ldapuser",
         ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR,
         false);
    Will result with user list from both the LDAPs.
    If anyone tried searching for users in a particular LDAP through code, please help me with this issue.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Rekha Malavathu

    I just figured it out. Under "group-policy GroupPolicy_COMPANY_SSL_VPN attributes", I had to add "vpn-simultaneous-logins 15". Apparently, it was using the value "vpn-simultaneous-logins 0" under the NOACCESS group policy.

  • Not all contacts showing in lync 2013 client search for most of the users

    Dears
    i have an issue in searching for contacts in Lync client 2013.
    i already set the Global client policy to websearchonly and still not able to see all the contacts.
    what should i do else? 
    we are using:
    - windows 7 ent 64bit
    - microsoft office 2010 plus 32bit
    - microsoft lync basic 32bit
    and on the server side:
    - windows server 2012 64bit
    - lync server 2013
    appreciate your swift response
    Moayad Sewar

    Ok Moayad, thank you for these info.
    It looks ok, I cannot find strange settings.
    Did you do this check?
    %userprofile%\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
    enter the sip_<usersipuri> folder
    you will find two files
    GalContacts.db
    GalContacts.db.idx
    open the GalContacts.db with notepad, you can find every AD Users and Contacts that Lync consider eligible
    for the GAL.
    Try to find in this file some Contacts that lync users cannot find. If you cannot find here we've to investigate
    more deeply into AD Attributes.

  • How to search for (and get taken to) a specific SMS or iMessage?

    Hi all,
    I can't find a way to jump to a Specific part of a conversation position in the Messages app.
    My phone has a few long conversations stored (often requiring 100 or more taps of the "load more messages" button to scroll all the way through) rather than a lot of short ones. And searching a specific keyword (say, from an SMS or iMessage i remember receiving a couple of weeks ago) in Spotlight or the Messages app search box returns specific results, so the phone is capable of locating a specific position in the conversation but I can't find a way to jump to it, if the queried text is behind the first "load more messages" wall - in these cases when I tap the search result, I'm taken to the end of the conversation, rather than the part of the conversation I searched for.. It basically teases you, telling you "yes, I can locate the text you want, but no, I won't take you to it" ;)
    Am I missing something or are there external apps that can do it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    In the Finder press COMMAND-F to open a Spotlight search window. From the Kind dropdown menu select Other. When the attributes list appears scroll down to File Extension and check the box on the right. Click on the OK button. You should now see File Extension in the dropdown menu of the search window. Use this to search for files with the given extension.
    You can also just do a simple search for an extension.

  • Is it possible to search for keywords in an XML file?

    Hey all,
    I'm currently searching for ways to count the number of pre-defined keywords in an XML file. An example would be trying to find how many times "war" is mentioned in a news networks RSS feed <title></title> and adding it to a variable.
    I've found a few custom AS3 XML class files out there but nothing I've been able to adapt. I'm at the point of considering just taking the title of these news stories converting them all to strings and searching them that way...
    I'd be grateful for any help
    Thanks!

    An XML element can have multiple attributes such as:
    <title keyword="war" category="international">War Breaks Out in the Middle East!</title>
    In the above example, the XML element <title> has 2 attributes named keyword and category.
    So in my example I'm searching for the attribute named "keywords" within the element <newsItem>.
    The XML document could be formatted something as the following:
    ============
    <someNewsFeed>
         <items>
              <newsItem keyword="war" category="international" url="www.cnn.com/headline2010020111">War Breaks Out in the Middle East!</newsItem>
              <newsItem keyword="healthcare" category="politics" url="www.cnn.com/headline2010020321">Healthcare Bill Still Has Some Hurdles to Jump</newsItem>
              <newsItem keyword="lady gaga" category="entertainment" url="www.cnn.com/headline2010020981">Lady Gaga Has 360 Reach</newsItem>
         </items>
    </someNewsFeed>
    ===========
    So in my example, the if/else loop is looking through each XML node named <newsItem> and when it finds it, it then see if it has an attribute called "keyword" and if it does, it then looks to see if it contains the word "war". If it DOES, then it will do the proceeding actions.
    ===========
    if (newsFeed.items.newsItem[q].attribute("keyword") == "war") {
