SNP: How to "lock" initial column in SNP data view (SCM7.0 / SP8)

Hello experts,
after a change from SCM5.0 to SCM7.0 we are seeing a change in a tiny but very important capability and we are trying to re-establish it in SCM7.0. If somebody has an idea how to address this that would be of great help:
As of SCM5.0 users were able to lock the INITIAL column of an SNP DataView so that the column is the default start column and not the next future column. In SCM5.0 the solution had 2 elements
A) set a user parameter in SU01 called /SAPAPO/SDP_STARTCOL to value X
+
B) double-click the header of the initial column in the SNP data view
As of SCM7.0 this is not supported anymore. There is a certain user setting in an SNP data view (Settings --> Others --> "Period from last selection" ) but this is not behaving to our needs and SAP is saying what we want from SCM5.0 is a non-supported feature in SCM7.0.
So, does anybody have an idea how to solve this. I checked UserExits and BAdis in SPRO for interactive planning - there all kind of stuff but nothing having a method to allow / perform a "column locking" in an SNP Data view. Thanks for any tip or hint here.
Regards
Thomas

Hello jejeje,
thanks for your efforts - what you describe is something users have found out on our side too - a problem remains: you can save this setting "Period from last Selection" and it brings you to the INITIAL column but: once you have scrolled forward in the SNP data view (so that the INITIAL column has disappeared) and you leave the SNP data view or select another product ... it "remembers" that you last time left the data view NOT having INITIAL column as a start column.
So, my users say that they scroll back to INITIAL column before selecting another part or using another SelectionID or leaving the SNP data view ... and of course they hate this since they have to do this a few hundred times a day worse case.
We had a call open to SAP on this and I told them that is about productivity and usabaliity issue moving from SCM5.0 to SCM7.0 - but they have nothing more to say than "not supported anymore" - and the ultimate solution is / will be to modifiy SAP SCM standard coding - unless somebody from SAP is reading the discussioons here and is dedicated to help their customers which pay millions every year into SAP support fees.
Thanks for your responses and effort !

Configuring the Initial Column in SNP

Hi Folks,
Basically what I want to do is to limit the horizon of the initial column. Right now, the initial column is displaying data from Jan 1, 1970 up to yesterday. But I only want to see data in the last three months only. Can you guys help?

Hi,
Create a TB profile (/n/SAPAPO/TR30) for 3 months and assign it in the TB Profile History under the data view tab(/SAPAPO/SDP8B) and assign the value (L,R,C) in the initial column field just under that.

How to lock a column?

how to lock a column?
pls give one example....

You can't lock a column, but lock rows of a table based on changes to a column.
This is done using FOR UPDATE clause
example
SELECT ENAME, SAL
FROM EMP
WHERE DEPTNO = 20
FOR UPDATE OF SALabove query will lock the employee records of department 20, till the lock is released.

Cannot generate dynamic alert for initial column in SNP.

Hello,
I have an SNP alert macro with a simple condition running from Initial column for 158 weeks. The alert is generated correctly for all other weeks but not for initial column.
The IF condition works correctly because a CELL_BG() in the same alert macro is correctly changing the color of the Initial column cell.
Is there some setting I need to make to generate alert for initial column?

How to set initial column widths for a table

What I'd like to do is to control the initial column widths for a table.
I'm building the table by using a class which extends AbstractTableModel. This class takes care of setting the headers and reading the data for the table.
If I do the following:
VarTableModel vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
I will see a table in my window. The widths of the columns are equal and are a function of the horizontal dimension of the window.
I have tried to set the width of a column by doing the following:
TableColumn aColumn;
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
But this has no effect on what gets displayed. I can force the widths that I want by using 'setMaxWidth' but this has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing the user to make the column wider if they want.
What I'd like is a way to specify the widths of the columns when initially displayed and then let the user adjust to their liking.
I'm sure that there is a way to do this, but I don't seem to understand where to intervene in the process to produce the effect that I want.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
add this line and try ur codeThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick. Here is an abbreviated segment of my code:
vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
// we want a horizontal scrollbar, so turn resizing off
// and we want to control column widths
jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
. // same kind of thing for each column
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(4));
aColumn.setWidth(400);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
If I do the above, the table gets displayed with each of the five columns the exact same width. So, the sizing of the columns is happening somewhere else despite turning auto resizing off.
Where is that occurring and how can I intervene so that I can control the widths of the columns on initial display and still allow the user to adjust the widths if they so choose?

OBIEE:How to display row/columns where no data is present in pivot results?

I have a request from some team members to provide an OBIEE report of 7 teams and the number of open incidents for each team by week.
I was able to create the pivot listing the teams vertically and the age (by week#: 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks & > 4weeks) horizontally.
The dilemma I have is that of the 7 teams that have incidents tickets only 4 of them have data, thus only those 4 teams that have ticket data show up in my pivot. I would like to be able to reflect ALL 7 teams even if representing a dash or null value across the pivot for those teams that don't have data.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how would I do this? I've tried searching the internet and found out how to replace a null value with a dash in columns/rows when a cell is null. But not how to display an entire row (or column) where no data is present.

Edited by: coutya on May 22, 2012 11:02 AM

You are correct; if there are no data at all, those teams won't show in a pivot table. NULLs or dashes only work if a particular column is null. There are two ways to accomplish what you wish. The first example I thought when I wasn't aware of being able to do a LEFT OUTER JOIN in Answers using the Advanced tab. The first method works nicely, though and is simpler to execute.
Read my solution here:
Re: Section Values showing NULL in Pivot
To do the LEFT OUTER JOIN read this:

Both will get you what you want...

How to get this column (SYSDATE-CREATEDON DATE)

I have a reporting requirement to get a column subtracting two date fields and result gets displayed in days.
 I have a notification number with CreatedON date field in my DSO. Now for notification age, I have to subtract SYSDATE(which is current day)-CREATEDON date(for Notification Number)
AGE(in days) = SYSDATE - CREATEDON DATE
Can anyone give me some suggestion on how to fulfill this requirement?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
The steps in Query designer 7 are :
1) Open your Query
2) Go to Columns area and create a structure and under this strcuture create a formula by context menu.
3) In the edit screen of Formula : Right click on Formula varibles(Available operands) and select new varible
4) Now select edit option from the context menu of the new varible :
in general tab page take processing by Customer Exit and change the desription to FV1.
in details tab page , take variable as Mandatory and remove tick mark for Ready for input.
In currency/unit tab page . take Dimensions as Date.
5) Again ,In the edit screen of Formula : Right click on Formula varibles(Available operands) and select new varible
6) Now select edit option from the context menu of the new varible :
In general tab page take processing by Replace ment path and change the desription to FV2.And Take 0NOTIFICATION as reference Characterstic.
In the REplace ment path tab page , Attribute value for Varibale represents and tehn take CREATEDON as the Attribute.
In details tab page , take variable as Mandatory and remove tick mark for Ready for input.
In currency/unit tab page . take Dimensions as Date.
7) Now in te formula created in teh step 2 , take FV1-Fv2 as Detail View
8) Write the code for FV1 in Cmod as below:
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: L_S_RANGE2 TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE2 LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZFV1'.
 IF I_STEP = 2.
 L_S_RANGE-LOW = sy-datum.
 L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
 L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
 APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
 ENDLOOP.
 ENDIF.
endcase.

Interactive report: How to display "count" column on total data set?

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie to APEX and would appreciate some help with the following:
I have an interactive report that will usually contain around 8000 rows.
I need to report the total number of distinct values in one of the columns - but I need to get around the limitation of APEX where it only counts the number of rows displayed on the screen.
I thought to create a separate region and use a separate SQL query to show the full total regardless of the number of rows displayed - however, I've now got the problem of not being able to access the interactive report "query", so, for example, if someone running the report adds a filter, I need the total to report with this new filter applied.
Does anyone know if I can:
a) get around the the limitation of only counting the number of rows displayed?
or, if not,
b) how to access the interactive report "query" that is being run?
or
c) any other way of doing this!?
I do hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help....
Helen

Hi all,
Thanks for your responses. They really are much appreciated.
I had hoped to spend some time on this over the weekend - but haven't got round to it. I'll work on it again tomorrow and will certainly look at the thread you mentioned Tony.
Sorry I'm not being very clear about what I want. Why are these things always so hard to explain in words :o)
I'll have another go....
I have an interactive report that would report around, say, 8000 rows. Obviously I don't want to display all 8000 on the screen so I'll probably display them in chunks of 15 rows. If I use the aggregation function on the report, I can add a count of the distinct account numbers to the bottom of the display, but it will only count the ones displayed on the screen. I need the count to be of all the rows - so 8000 instead of 15 - but still displaying only 15 rows. When a user then applies a filter to the report, I need the count to change in accordance with the filter - so if the number of rows returned as a result of the filter is now 4000 instead of 8000, I need the count to now say 4000 instead of 8000 even though still only 15 rows are actually displayed on the screen.
I'll try and pre-empt the questions...
1) There will always be duplicate account numbers in there so the count will never be the actual number of rows - but I'm simplifying above to help explain the problem better
2) Why would they want 8000 rows? Don't ask. I'm sure it's something to do with exporting the lot into an excel spreadsheet but they'll never admit it :o)
I hope this makes more sense......
Thanks again!!
Helen
P.S. Almost forgot again... I'm using Apex 4.1 on the Oracle hosted environment which I assume is 11g.

How to fill grid column combobox with data?

Hi Experts,
I have a question about ComboBox column in a Grid item. I know how to set column to be a combobox, but question is - how to fill this combobox with ValidValues?
I execute query for data table binded with grid and then change column's type to combobox.
Regards
Szymon Lipnicki

Hi Szymon,
You need to add the Value and Description to the Combo's ValidValue collection, just like with a normal Combo.
I leave you a sample that shows how to fill a Combo from a RecordSet.
            Dim oRS As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
            oRS.DoQuery("SELECT T0.ListNum, T0.ListName FROM [dbo].[OPLN] T0")
            If oRS.RecordCount > 0 Then
                Dim oGrid As SAPbouiCOM.Grid = oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific
                Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.Column = oGrid.Columns.Item("PriceLst")
                For i As Integer = 1 To oRS.RecordCount
                    oColumn.ValidValues.Add(oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString, oRS.Fields.Item(1).Value.ToString)
                    oRS.MoveNext()
                Next
            End If

How to find a column by sampling data?

Can any one help me to identify the columns
which are ssn by sampling the data in the database or to run a query/script against each table so that the result
will tell you that the data in a a particular column seems to be a ssn ?[I have identified the columns in tables
which has ssn as there column names]. Please help...

You can use regexp to check the rows.
select ssn from some_table
where regexp_like(ssn,'^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$')
OR
with ssns as
        ( select '123-254-5455' ssn from dual
union all select '.23-254-5455' ssn from dual
union all select '1232545455' ssn from dual
union all select '12a2545455' ssn from dual
union all select '1x3-s54-5455' ssn from dual
union all select '123-254-54552' ssn from dual
union all select '0123-254-5552' ssn from dual
select ssn ,regexp_replace(ssn,'^[0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{4}$','VALID') xc
from ssns
SSN           XC

Ankit,
This is almost hard to work although NOT impossible to achieve on the template.
A little big of PL/SQL genius where all the columns are selected into variables may be used to achieve this, although you will have to manage them accordingly.
I don't any other way round it.

How to sort a column directly after data is filled into the grid?

Hello,
I have a unbound field X, which is filled on fly in the RowLoaded2 column. If I click on the column header, I am able to sort the column.
I want to sort the column directly, but all attempts have failed.
I have tried to call in <anchor>_OnUpdate
<anchor>.bcol.Sort( "X", "ASC") but it does not work as long as the property is not mapped to a Segment field of a bdoc. For this test i just created my property X on the Business Objects behind the tablegrid
I have used <tablegridcontrol>.sortCol = 2, but it results into a StackOverflowException even for any other column.
Is there no way to sort the colum in this special kind of situation?
Regards,
Andreas

Hi,
you have to consider that when loading a tile for the first time always rowloaded2 is fired (several times) and afterwards onload. Maybe rowloaded2 again afterwards. So it should work to sort in onload.
But when clicking the <back> button in the menue the order of the fired events might be different!
Do you want to sort by an unbound column which is readonly or is it also editable (see other thread)? In this case things might be much more complicate... Normally another sorting should be done in onsave event but unfortunately you don't save anything as it is unbound...

Wolfhard

How to add custom columns to the list view in Finder

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to view additional file details in the list view in Finder, for example audio bit rate, so I don't have to do "Get Info" for each file separately. I couldn't find a way to add columns other than the ones listed on the view options dialog.
Can anyone help me find a way to do it?
Thanks,

Have you checked the Help menu for what you want to do? I found this in Apple support - List View Options
Check the AppleScript Forums. There is probably a script that you can use.
