Set an attribute inherited by an interface

Hello,
I've got a problem setting an attribute, so i appreciate your help or a link to a solution in advantage.
Situation: I've created an interface hosting some attributes. I've created an business object inheriting the interface. Now i try to set the value of the interface's attributes by invoking an interface's method (handing over the standard container of the business object). Unfortunatly, as result there are created new container elements instead of setting the interface's attributes.
How can i fix this problem?
Thanks, Stephan

I think you have misunderstood a thing or two with respect to enhancing/developing BOR object types. You should definitely implement the attributes. It should always be the attribute implementation code that sets the container value - even if it is technically possible to do it in some other way, this is bad practice and not upwards compatible if SAP enforces a more strict interface check (same problem that applies to undeclared parameters for methods).
Using a method to set attribute values is just stupid. It requires an extra step in the workflow, and it is not necessary since attributes will be automatically populated whenever they are needed. Additionally, if your attributes were only populated after a method call, you wouldn't be able to use them in customized inbox views, or in workflow start conditions.
So, I suggest you implement each of the attributes, and let them call a common subroutine in your implementation program which sets the data (object-whatever-whatever). Then each attribute implementation just makes a perform call, and calls the SWC_SET_ELEMENT macro. Your subroutine can be as sophisticated or unsophisticated as you need/wish - e.g. checking whether there is any need to refresh the values if there is a lot involved in finding the values.

Setting doc. attributes when loading from web interface

Hi!
Does anyone know how can I "show" a form to set document attributes when uploading them from the web user interface?
I saw that you can implement a JSP associated to the document class to set or modify the attribute values (or do whatever you want) but apparently it works AFTER the document has been loaded into de iFS (and so it relies on the user accessing the document after he has loaded it). This attributes would be required, so I need the user to set them WHEN uploading the document.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.
Griselda

I created my custom doc class, using iFSManager (or an XML file), but it's not clear how to bind the document to the custom type just defined.programmatically, you can bind by setting classname, in document definition, prior to creating document.
or, registering classobject by extension parser, via ifsmanager
Then, Can I search for the custom attibute that I've just defined?yes, ofcourse
Please can You tell me where I can find the withe paper that you have mentioned?developer's guide

Setting property attribute values for multiple selected objects.

Hello,
Is there an easy way to set the attribute property values for more that one selected Table Operator Attribute (column) at a time. For example the target table has over 100 columns but I only want to INSERT/UPDATE 10 of those columns. The generated MERGE, INSERT and UPDATE statements will perform DML on all of the columns in the target table, setting the 90 columns with no mapping set to NULL. This is due to the Loading Properties 'Load Column when Updating Row' and 'Load Column when Inserting Row' both default to Yes. I would like to select multiple Attributes in the Table Operator and change the 'Load Column when Updating Row' and 'Load Column when Inserting Row' to No. This is similar to what you were able to do in Oracle Forms 9.0 Designer select multiple Items in a Block and change the properties en-masse.
Thanks

Hi,
Using OMB scripting to set attribute properties in a data mapping sort of defeats the purpose of utilizing a graphical user interface to define and set properties for a data mapping? Surely the GUI data mapping tool was created to get away from writing scripts and scripting would also require that you know the name of the data mapping, table operator and the set of attribute names for which you have to write one line of script to set each property value, i.e. 90 lines to set 90 attribute values.
Cheers,

Setting an attribute back to null

Hi All.
During provisioning to certain resource, I set an attribute to some value (It gets set properly), Now I want to set it back to null(empty string). It is not setting back to null and still displays the old value
<set name='user.global.attr1'>
<null/> or <s></s>
</set>
Is there any way to set the attribute value back to null or clear that particular attribute
Thanks,

Any update on this, Please reply

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

How to set session attributes in a bean?

How do I set a session attribute in a server-side bean?
I'm not sure if I asked the question the right way. What I meant is, while it's easy to set session attributes in a JSP page (session.setAttribute("sessionname", "sessionvalue")), I'd want to set such an attribute within a server-side bean defined in this web application. But what is the syntax for doing it?

Here a simple bean that stores something in the session and retrieves something from it.
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
public class TestBean {
private String value;
public void doSomething(HttpSession session, int a, int b) {
    if (a+b > 0) {
      session.setAttribute("ab",Boolean.TRUE);
    } else {
      session.setAttribute("ab",Boolean.FALSE);
public void init(HttpSession session) {
    if (session != null) {
      Boolean b = (Boolean)session.getAttribute("ab");
      if (b == Boolean.TRUE) {
        value = "a + b is greater than zero";
      } else {
        value = "a + b is not greater than zero";
    } else {
      value = "no session";
public String getValue() {
    return value;
}In your JSP, use something along the lines of :
<%
TestBean bean = new TestBean();
bean.init(session);
bean.doSomething(session,1,2);
%>If your bean only lives during one request, you can pass the session to the constructor, which stores it in a private variable. This saves passing the session each time.
Hope this helps,

Setting an attribute value of a tag equal to a String variable in scope

Hi,
I don't think this is possible because I get an "expression not allowed" error when trying it. But long story short I'm trying dynamically set attribute values on a taglib. For example:
<%
String value="attributevalue";
// set the attribute of the tag below equal to this variable value
%>
<tag:mytaglib name="<%=value%>"/>
I looked at the generated jsp page and seems like the variable "value" is not in scope of the method that processes the tag. Does anyone have any ideas or can confirm that there is no way to do this. Thanks!

You can do it.
In your tag library (*.tld) file, have an entry as:
    <attribute>
        <name>name</name>
        <required>true</required>
        <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
    </attribute>This should do the trick.
Let us know if it worked for you.
Thanks and regards,

Multiple inheritance in remote interfaces for EJB 3.0 session beans on Webl

Hi All,
We started migration from EJB 2.1(WLS 8.1) to EJB 3.0(WLS 10.3.2) and identified few serious problems. One of them is related with multiple business interfaces inheritance. I wrote simple example that presents point of the problem.
we have session bean AImpl:
+@Stateless(name="A")+
+@Remote({A.class})+
+@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)+
+public class AImpl implements A {+
+@Override+
+public void writeA() {+
System.out.println("A");
+}+
+@Override+
+public void writeB() {+
System.out.println("B");
+}+
+@Override+
+public void writeC() {+
System.out.println("C");
+}+
+}+
with remote interface A:
+@Remote+
+@JNDIName(A.JNDI_NAME)+
+public interface A extends B, C {+
public static String JNDI_NAME = "A_JNDI_NAME";
void writeA();
+}+
As you can see A extends B, and C. Definition of both interfaces is very simple:
+public interface B {+
void writeB();
+}+
+public interface C {+
void writeC();
+}+
Everything looks nice until we want to invoke some method on AImpl bean. For above implementation code:
A a = ctx.lookup(A. JNDI_NAME);
a.writeA();
a.writeB();
a.writeC();
writes down ”A \n B” and throws exception:
caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: pl.gov.arimr.zszik.bazowe.slowniki.ejb.A_vt0zts_AImpl_1032_WLStub.*writeC()*
at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1605)
at weblogic.ejb.container.internal.RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.getTargetMethod(RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.java:165)
at weblogic.ejb.container.internal.RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.invoke(RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.java:57)
so.. in stub generated by WLS there is no method from interface C ! What more interesting after small change in interface A rely on change in interface implementation order from B, C to C, B (+public interface A extends C, B {+) server writes down only A and I have stack like below:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: pl.gov.arimr.zszik.bazowe.slowniki.ejb.A_vt0zts_AImpl_1032_WLStub.*writeB()*
at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1605)
at weblogic.ejb.container.internal.RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.getTargetMethod(RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.java:165)
at weblogic.ejb.container.internal.RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.invoke(RemoteBusinessIntfProxy.java:57)
After this experience I came up with suspicion that Weblogic 10.3 does not support inheritance from multiple interfaces in one “generation”. Instead of that it takes only the first interface from the list.
Does anybody have some experience with such a situation? maybe someone have an idea how to work around this problem?

This is Not Supported in WebLogic that the Remote Interface extends other Interfaces. Because Annotation Processor just looks up inside the implemented interface methods. The actual interface which is Implemented by the Bean Class. So the Methods declared inside the Interface B and Interface C will be ignored and will not be available as part of the generated Stubs. Thats why u are getting NoSuchMethodError.
You can even contact Oracle Support on this...there are 3-4 Cases on it. And the Solution is Work As Designed.
Workaround is : edit your interface A as following
Declare all the Business Methods only in the Remote Interface and not inside it's Super Interfaces.
Example:
@Stateless(name="A")
@Remote({A.class})
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
public class AImpl implements A {
@Override
public void writeA() {
System.out.println("A");
@Override
public void writeB() {
System.out.println("B");
@Override
public void writeC() {
System.out.println("C");
@Remote
@JNDIName(A.JNDI_NAME)
public interface A extends B, C {
public static String JNDI_NAME = "A_JNDI_NAME";
void writeA();
void writeB();
void writeC();

Set type attribute search help in Web UI

Hello,
I've created a set type attribute in the SAP GUI in CRM 2007 which links to value table BUT000. On the product in the SAP GUI, the F4 search help brings up the standard BP search help (COM_PARTNER).
I've assigned the attribute to the web UI, and the field displays correctly, however when I click on the F4 help, the system only shows me a list of BP numbers without even a description description, and not the standard search help. The response to my OSS message is that this is "standard".
Any suggestions as to how to enable the correct search help for this?
Thanks,
Alison

Hello,
This is an example :
READ TABLE lt_multivalues WITH KEY fieldname = 'ZOPERATION_ID'
INTO ls_multivalues.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    READ TABLE lt_multivalues WITH KEY fieldname = 'ZKIT_ID'
    INTO ls_multivalues.
ENDIF.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

      EXPORTING
        it_search_tab          = it_search_tab
        it_multivalues         = lt_multivalues
        iv_number              = iv_number
        iv_item                = iv_item

        et_guidlist            = et_guidlist
        et_return              = et_return.
ELSE.
Standard search
    CALL METHOD me->search_standard
      EXPORTING
        it_search_tab          = it_search_tab
        it_multivalues         = lt_multivalues
        iv_number              = iv_number
        iv_item                = iv_item
        iv_archive             = iv_archive
        iv_call_authority_badi = iv_call_authority_badi
      IMPORTING
        et_guidlist            = et_guidlist
        et_return              = et_return.
ENDIF.
You have to fill et_guidlist with the results.

How to change set type attribute of a product

Hi ;
I created additional fields for products by using "COMM_ATTRSET". It created a table and functions but I dont know how to change this additional attributes.I cant use these attribute set functions because i dont know fragment_id yet. I think there must be a function encapsulates them.
Is there any BAPI to change set type attributes?
PS: In forums , I found an FM "COM_PRODUCT_MAINTAIN_MULT_API" but I think it hasnt been used anymore in CRM7.0
Thanks

Thanks for your reply ;
but FM 'COM_PRODUCT_UI_MAINTAIN' doesnt have any generic import parameters to send my data to it in form of newly created attribute set type table "ZPRODUCT".
I want to set some fields of ZPRODUCT and i need to send them in this structure, this table has column FRG_ID , if you set an additional parameter for the first time , it generates new GUID..I think 'COM_PRODUCT_UI_MAINTAIN' generates this GUID but i dont know how to use it.
Can you give an example about using this FM?

Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume

We have a TDP volume(destination), that is in snapmirrored state from 7Mode to cDOT.While trying to resize/increment the volume size by say 100g we get the following error. clusterName> volume size volumneName -vserver vserverName +100gWarning: Volume "vserver:volumeName" is a SnapMirror destination volume. The Filesystem Size for this volume is derived from its source and cannot be changed. The specified size will be used as the Volume Size.

Hi I am not trying to change any setting. I am trying to increase the size of the volume. I understand in case of a Snapmirrored volume the fs_fixed options is ON.But one can always increase the actual volume size using vol size command. Even if I increase the size on ONTAP on the file system side it will show as the size same as source. I understand that. So my question is why is it prevenitng me from increasing the size.

Javascript to JSP question...Can javascript function set session attributes

hello,
i have a web app that, on one of its pages, displays "tabbed pane" as an image map at the top (a la amazon.com). my problem is this: each "logical" page contains separate forms that all use the same javabean. in other words, imagine that the tabs represent an account maintenance web ui for an on-line record store. the first tab might be labeled "General," the second "Contact info," the third "Shipping Info." Each uses the same account bean and displays portions of its properties relevant to the tab at hand. what i want to do is allow a user to enter the account maintenance ui, update info on the first tab, click on tab two and have the request with the changes sent to a processing jsp. yet, since each "tab" is actually a separate URL to another page, how do i get the updated info on the first tabe without adding some sort of "SAVE" button on each tab. ive considered using javascript, but dont know how to get the request params out of the first tab whn i click on another tab. is it possible to include an "onClick" function in each URL that "grabs" the updated form fields off the preceeding tab? can a javacript function set session attributes in jsp?

hello there,
wow, you've created one big mammy-jammy tool.
first, javascript cannot access, set values to the session, without having to post to another JSP. javascript is great for manipulating objects, layers, form values, etc.
you have 2 issues [if i understand correctly]:
1) you need to able to save user info for a specific tab without having to reloading the page.
---you can create a form for EACH of your tabs and POST all the information to a hidden IFRAME or LAYER for NN4. that hidden IFRAME / LAYER will load a JSP page which with all the parameters you posted to it. or you can build a FRAMESET and target that document["frame-name"].src with that same JSP.
2) handling when the SAVE INFO action should happen: hence some javascript event handler: onMouseOver, onClick, etc
---i don't know the dynamics of your tabs, but if store which tab was clicked on last, then if the user clicks on some other tab, javascript can submit that FORM to a JSP [see condition above]
you have an interesting tool. can i see?
i hope i wasn't too confusing, but your problem is sooo interesting. =)

How do I get and set column attributes in a table or a treetable with Java?

Using 11.1.1.4.0
Hi,
How do I get and set column attributes in a table or a treetable with Java? For a simple example, say I have a table and want certain roles to see all columns (including address), and other roles can see only certain columns (no address). In a Java method, I want to test if a table's column visible attribute is true and if so, set it to false before rendering it.
Thanks in advance,
Troy

Hi,
this use case would be a perfect example for using seeded MDS customization. Instead of checking what users are allowed to see or not upon rendering time, you have a customization class and thus the framework doing this for you.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/31-mds-sample-169173.pdf
In this paper and sample, specific users see different layouts. It also contains a customization class that shows how this can leverage ADF Security

Easy and efficient way to set dynamic attributes

My integration scenario is quite complex involving many different receivers and an integration process. For some receivers I have to set dynamic attributes.
I know that I can set them by using a UDF, however in my case I mostly use XSLT so this is not applicable.
Is there any other way to do this relatively easy so that I can avoid Java Mappings? Problem ist that I would need to use several Java Mappings to set the attributes where no transformation to the payload itself is taking place which seems to be too much for me. Especially when I consider that these Java Mappings are hard to maintain as they have to be imported again and again if any changes occur.
So my question is:
1. Do I really have to go for several Java Mappings just to set some dynamic attributes ?
2. If so, should I use different Java Packages or is it advisable to leave all Java Mappings in one package?

Hi Florian,
yes, you can!
set dyn atts in XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How to set a attribute value of a sub node binded to a table.. pls respond.

Hi friends,
I have context defined like this.
     Head_node ( table 1)
          Item_node ( table 2, sub node ). ( now this im saving in global internal table).
so now when i hit save button, im passing my internal table (it has col1- sales order no, col2 item details(table type, which can have more than one record) to a FM, to create sales order.
My sales order is getting saved.
But the function module will return some new values (like sales order number, item number etc).
Now i want these values to be updated in my context.
Meaning whenever after that i do get_attribute, i should get these new (sales order no, item no ) also.
I dont know how to set the context values of sub nodes , so im missing these values.
kindly respond back to me..
thanks in advance,
Niraja

Its very simple.
Follow these steps. e.g you want to get the new sales order number. Define a attribute in ur node (or set of attributes in ur case as per reqruirement) say new_so_number.
Check your FM, if its returning new_so_number then it's fine, otherwise you have to change the FM to return the new_so_number or you have to get from db table somehow, which best suites your req.
So once you have new_so_number after calling the FM, say in lv_new_so_number field. Then write this code to set the attribute (change the variables as per your context attributes)
DATA lo_nd_head TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_head TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_head TYPE wd_this->element_head.
DATA lv_new_so_number LIKE ls_head-new_so_number.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <HEAD> via lead selection
lo_nd_head = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_head ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_head = lo_nd_head->get_element( ).
lv_new_so_number = new_so_number. " (You got this as a exporting parameter of FM etc..)
* get single attribute
lo_el_head->set_attribute(
    EXPORTING
      name = `NEW_SO_NUMBER`
      value = lv_new_so_number ).
Hope it works.
