SP Designer 2007 Variables

I have a word form in a dpocument library that when a new document is uploaded, a workflow creates a new task list item. When the task is completed and the status changed, I want the document properties to be updated in the library.
I am having an issue collecting the data from the user and creating a variable that will then update the library with the task list information.
Can anyone assist me with how to make sure my defined workflow lookup details link to the correct list item fields (Field = ID and Value = Collect) is not working and I've got a deadline to meet!
Thanks for any assistance you could give me!
Jamie

Hi Jamie, can you post a screenshot of your workflow step?

Cannot edit pages in SharePoint Designer 2007 "The Server could not complete your request...

Hi All,
We are using SharePoint Designer 2007.When we try to open any page in designer we get following error,
"The Server could not complete your request. Contact your Internet Service Provider or Web server administrator to make sure that the server has the FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Services installed"
If I click on Details button then I get the following message
"Object moved. Object moved to here."
Anyone experienced anything like this before?
Also when I try to edit sites when browsing on IE and than clicking on "Page" and "Edit in SPD2007" it's always
opening login.aspx site in SPD and that is the only one I can edit.
Kindly, please help me on this issue.

How to set Mandatory Choice field while Creating Custom Task using Sharepoint Designer 2007

Hi,
I am new to Sharepoint development.I dont know whether i am posting the question in Correct place.Kindly redirect me to the correct place if i am posting it in wrong place.
I created a custom task in Sharepoint Designer 2007 using
Collect Data from User
Action.
I created a field in the task form which is of choice type and
unchecked allow blank values
because i wanted that field to be a mandatory field.When i handled that task ,i was able to complete that task
without selecting that mandatory field.But, I was expecting not to allow me to complete the task without selecting that field. Kindly tell me how to set the choice field as mandatory.

Hi,
You are using SharePoint Designer 2007, so I moved the thread to the appropriate forum for MOSS 2007.
This is by design that
Workflow-generated form (for action Collect data from User) does not perform validation properly on drop-down choices, the workaround is to use JavaScript to perform the field validation.
This thread has the JavaScript code can help you:

Sharepoint Designer 2007 system requirements

I have been asked to take over the Website of our local genealogical society. The site was set up and is maintained using Sharepoint Designer 2007. We don't have any server or such, I have a Windows Vista x64 PC home computer. At the download site to get
SPD 2007 it says system requirements are for XP SP3. Will this product run OK on my computer or should I upgrade to a newer version of Sharepoint Designer before taking over this project?

the version of SharePoint Designer must match the version of SharePoint. For example, you can ONLY use SharePoint Designer 2007 with SharePoint Server 2007 (SharePoint Services 3 if you're using the free version), and you can ONLY use SharePoint Designer
2010 with SharePoint 2010, SPD 2013 with SP 2013.
SPD 2007 should work fine with Vista.

SharePoint Designer 2007 - Errors with Edit Document Properties Form

All,
I'm using SharePoint Designer 2007 and in two of my document libraries when I upload content I get this error:
Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.   at

So - when I open the EditForm.aspx page and attempt to add the proper Document Library Properties - and see that the Edit Document Properties Form is blank no matter what File - I try to add I get this Error:
“The page you have selected does not contain a reference to the correct SharePoint list”
Therefore - since the EditForm.aspx page hasn't been changed in a while - what are some items to look at to remedy this odd problem.

All,
I fixed this - by Opening the page in Designer - going to Insert -> SharePoint Controls -> List Form then selecting the proper library from the list - then selecting Edit Item Form. I then right mouse clicked the library and selected Properties
-> clicked List Properties then clicked the Supporting Files tab and under the Edit Document Forms Property - selected the item as such - clicked OK - saved everything -> refreshed the browser then all worked!

See & in query Designer for variable

Hi guys,
When i turn the technical name on in the Query designer, sometimes I see & in front and end of a variable. Sometimes, I dont see them. I was wondering why.

I see & in the query designer for the variables. Sometimes, for the same variable I dont see & sign in front and back.
This is what I have observed which in no way is a complete assesment.
When you have multiple variables on Active hierachy char. and you delete one, you see '&' in the other variables.

Print Designer Layout - Variable

Hello,
I need the Invoice Due Date (OPCH.DocDueDate) on the Vendor Liability Aging report. But this table is not in the list in "Business Partner Aging (details)(System)". Is there a variable that I can use to get the A/P invoice due date? Is there another way to make this work?
thanks,
Yi

Hi Quentin,
ALT+CLICK can sometime cause conflicts and errors and sometimes...inconsistant data extraction.
eg: I am trying to design an Outgoing Paymnt Template similar to the SBODemoUK. I need to show on the second repetitive area the Document Dates of the the ones that are being payed in the Outgoing Payment which is displaying for the AP Invoices correctly, but the AP Credit Note's date is incorrect...cos its pulling the date from the AP Invoice Table and not the Outgoing Payments Table (ps: Outgoing Table does not have the date as a field anyway!!!
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated

APD Qeury Design with Variables

Hi Guru's,
Can somebody please help me, in understanding the query design when we are using it as a source to apd. I have a scenario where i do some transformation using abap and then send the output to a pc file. However, i have huge data in the underlined multiprovider of a query( say 20 million) and the query is getting timed out.
The only way is to have query variables to be able to restrict the data. When I do that, the APD is not supporting. Did somebody came across these scenario's.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
as far as I know you are not able to use variables which require any user entry. Only if you work with variants this would be possible.
So i think you need to run you APD several times either with different queries or the same query but different variants for the variables and restrict the number of data records with the variables.
regards
Cornelia

InfoCube Design for Variable data - Use of Line Item Dimensions

I have an infoprovider based on billing conditions which we have extended the extractor structure for 2LIS13_VDKON and we now have a requirement to add Customer fields such as Customer Purchase Order Number and Contract Number. These fields are obviously highly variable. I have added to them to the reporting DSO and now need advice on what is the best way to add these types of fields as reportable dimensions to the infocube so as to not impact performance? I currently have 9 dimensions with multiple charachteristics and a time dimension. Should I just create a line item dimension for Purchase Order? Problem is I have 8 other line item dimensions to add which are customer specific reporting fields that we capture on the sales order and wish to report on. I know there is a limit of 16 dimensions and I am also concerned about performance.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Lee Lewis

Hi,
To make sure that the infocube you have created should not have any performance issue: Please do the following
Go to RSRV > All elementary tests-> Database---> database information about infoprovider tables
Upon clicking on database information about infoprovider tables, on the right hand side, in the parameter enter your infocube name and execute and see the log: ( log will automatically popping up once you are done with execution )
There see the database infomation about infoprovider:
This log wil make you to understand how well you have designed your infocube and make sure that each (f ) table corresponding to each dimension will not exceed 20 % of the infocube size.
You create dimensions of infocubes in a such a way ( whether line item or normal dimension ) so that any of the dimensional F table will not exceed 20 % of the infocube size.
Actually this will give us the information of the size of the data of particular dimension and there by if any particular dimension is exceeding the 20 % of the infocube size, then you need to create line item dimension for the characteristics existing in that dimension .
After creating again, test it and see whether any of the dimension table exceeding 20% infocube size .
Repeat this process until you see all dim F tables less than 20 % of the info cube table size
This will negate any performance issues arise in reporting

In Design and Variable Data Printing....

Does In Design have VDP capabilities. I am thinking of designing a 2 part NCR form that is numbered. Is it possible to include the numbering sequence in the design so that as it prints it numbers each form sequentially (similar to name and address info but a specific number)?
Thank you!

on the indystimer website there is no set of instructions or tutorials but the script is only used to generate the range of numbers that I want for the database e.g. 000201-000500. this can be done in excel too but i just find the indysnumbergenerator a lot quicker.
in terms of actually making a datamerge, see the adobe tutorial http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs2at_datamerge.html
to make a datamerge so that the end result is pages printed single sided but in duplicate so the records appear:
pdf page 1 - record 1 top sheet
pdf page 2 - record 1 bottom sheet
pdf page 3 - record 2 top sheet
pdf page 4 - record 2 bottom sheet...
is to design the merge on one page including the variable data, BUT once it is finished, duplicate the page from the pages palette so that there is now two pages in the file. when exported to PDF via the data merge as above should result.
is this what the OP is after?

Print Layout Designer - Different Variable No for Different Currencies

Hi Experts,
I will need your support once again.I just noticed that the Withholding tax field on the Invoice print layout displays only when the transaction is in Local currency,while trying to trouble shoot this issue, I discovered that the Variable Number for the withholding Tax field for transactions in Local currency differ from that of USD transactions.
I need this field to display irrespective of the currency, how can I achieve this? Can I get a comon variable number for that field ?
Any info will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi Chike,
The answer is no. You can not change them because they hold different values. If you want to use one PLD to print both LC and FC, you have to use many formula fields to do so.
Thanks,
Gordon

Query Designer Issue (Variables)

Hello,
I'm trying to create an input query in BI-IP, with 2 característics in rows (untill here evrything works fine).
I'm having problems in creating the columns the way client want. It's a plan query, so the Client wants to Plan his budget monthly for the next year (I've created a mandatory Interval Variable ready for input based on 0FISCPER) if i run the query at this point, it runs, doesn't give results because there are no values.
The problem is that the Client wants to see the Acumulated Real Amount of the previous year in a column before the monthly ones! This is where the query stucks. I assign another variable i've created for cumulative values, and assigned an offset of -1 to that variable
Does anyone knows how to solve this or has any idea so we can start a conversation over here! I'm quite in a hurry as the project is reaching it's end.
Thanks

"The problem is that the Client wants to see the Acumulated Real Amount of the previous year in a column before the monthly ones! This is where the query stucks."
I didnot get that...
When u want to see the Accumulated Real amount of previous year
y do u need to create a variable for it....
for e.g. if i have to do i will do it following way...
Client wants tos ee the Amount of Last year and Current year
i will insert Amount in Columns
right click and say edit
now bring time chars... ofiscper
now restrict it with interval variable , ready for input...
save and hit okey
i will copy the whole amount and paste it below
now i will go to variable restrict screen and then set offset as -1
is this what you did....
if yes... then how does the data corresponds in BW system
logint to rsa1
goto ur cube
right click and hit display data
see what u are seeing....
go to rsrt
run and execute ur query
it will display how each column value is getting calculated
if there is no relevant data then i t will nt show
if there is then u need to redesign variables...
if u r using mandatory variable in columns of keyfigures
dont use 0fiscper in Free chars/Selection screen

Query Designer: Formula Variable

Would like to check how to use the formula variable for key figures?
I have created a formula variable and attached in the formula. How this variable be filled? I have given the properites as manual input but system gives exception error when query is executed.
Error message..
Variable 46LD342EI7BQ4XB6P1GLYDAL9 (46LD342EI7BQ4XB6P1GLYDAL9) was found in the query but in the meantime it has been deleted, or it has been used incorrectly.
Formula variable- can be used in all cases. Note: Formula variables can have units or be without them. Incorrect use can also arise here since the system always calculates in accordance with the units. Formula variables can also be used to create the upper and lower limits in exceptions.

Hi,
I think your definition of your formula veriable is wrong.
have you put the variable as input ready?

Query Designer&WAD: Variable search help - Display Key/Text button

Good day.
Please, can you write me some solution of my problem.
I have the character with hierarchy.
In tab "Business Explorer" of character set display as "Text".
When i run my query on SAP Portal and enter to search help of character, it is displays text of my ZCHARACTER(not key and text). But name of levels(0HIER_BODE) display key and text... (NODENAME and TEXT).
When i run query in BEx Analyzer, in search help all correct. My ZCHARACTER and 0HIER_NODE displays only text.
When i press tech button "Display Key/Text", a see marked "Text". I cannot find the same button when run search help in Query Designer, WAD(or Portal).
How can i display only texts of 0HIER_NODE? But no [Key] Text.
Thank you for answer.
Regards
Update. Can be usefull:
View table RSDVDPA with key DPNAM='0HIER_NODE' consist field CHAPRSNT with value = '0' (Key and Text).
When i change value of table
UPDATE RSDDPA SET CHAPRSNT = '4'
WHERE DPANM EQ '0HIER_NODE'
AND objvers EQ 'A'.
All works correct!
Change this value directly not correct. I think, that it is change of value of parent character. But when?

I have created own 0HIER_NODE character - ZNODENAME.
Only root node infoobject is 0HIER_NODE. All another - Z.
Thanks! ^)

Sharepoint 2007 designer - sqldatasource and grid view not displaying on SP page (An unexpected error has occured)

Hi All,
I am using sharepoint designer 2007 and am trying to use a sqldatasource to populate a gridview and then display that on an .aspx page. While in designer everything seems to configure okay. I am able to test the connection and display the data
as expected from the sqldatasource within designer. Then I have the gridview control use the sqldatasource. At that point the grid (within designer) displays the headings as expected. The data that is displayed in the cells is "test data" rather
than actual data value - I'm not sure if this is normal - for example, the data values in every column / row are all equal to 'abc'. Date values are all equal to current date.
Then when I actually display the sharepoint page (via Preview in browser) I get an error "An unexpected error has occurred".
I am using SQLExpress on my laptop as the database for the sqldatasource. I have tried both integrated (windows) and SQL authentication with the same results.
Here is the aspx code from designer:

I am unable to connect to my SQL EXPRESS db on my laptop via SPD 2007: I get the error -
I am able to access that database via SQL Server Mgmt. Studio (both with Windows and SQL Server authentication). I can also access a SQL Express database on a remote server from the exact same SPD 2007 session: I get -
So, I wonder why I can connect to the remote but not the local? Anyway, if you have any ideas I would appreciate it. I am willing to do the work from the article you mention but wanted to rule out there being a simple DB access issue first. I'll also
start to find the ULS logs and review them.
Thanks again !!
Update on 1-3-14: Hi, since yesterday I also have been able to connect to the SQLEXPRESS database / table and display the .aspx page with the gridview in Visual Studio 2010.
Update 1-26-14: Sorry for the delayed response. I determined the reason why I could not connect to the SQLEXPRESS instance on my laptop was that there was a local host intrusion (firewall) rule on my machine that prevented an inbound connection
on port 1433. SharePoint server >>> inbound connect on port: 1433 >>> to Laptop device, not allowed.
Thanks.
