Table lookup in sap po 7.4

Hi there,
And recently we have got new PO 7.4 system , to be frank I dont have much idea on this new PO.
and the first scenario is the source input CDF file to ECC (Idoc) via PO.
we need to maintain some table (not sure where) i.e. during mapping runtime for a combination of source field (say 4 field values) from table we need to get combinaiton of target fields values and populate to the Idoc fields.
since we use single stack here my query is
1, where should we create the tables ? ECC or DB (DB2) or ?
2, which will be the best practise wrt performance ?
3, what will be best approach here?
pls suggest.

Hi,
Have a look at Value Mapping issue in PI 7.4 or write a UDF.
Kind regards,
Dimitri

Table lookup instead of fixed value mapping

Hi Folks,
My current scenario is that I have used fixed value mapping to map a single target field. These details are actually maintained in the TP_Code table in R3 (a sample table).
TradingPartner:SAP:Short Text
PA:PA:Package
PL:PAL:Pallet
The table contains 20 entries.
I am thinking that fixed value mapping is not a good option since there might have future changes in the TP_Code table.
Is rfc lookup a good option? But I am not sure which rfc to use and if there is any udf availble to be used in parsing the xml payload.
Please advise.
Thanks a ton!

Thanks so much for the links!
I managed to use and run the RFC lookup to an R3 table using JCo. However, I am not getting the right result.
I am getting the result in this format -> 800,PA,PAC,Package
The correct output is PAC which is the third node. Could this only be achieved by using java tokenizer?
The code that I have used is as follows:
Import com.sap.mw.jco.*;
//write your code here
String DBTABLE = a;
String WHERE_CLAUSE = b" = ""'"c"'" ;
String sapClient = "xxx";
String hostName = "nnnxxx";
String systemNumber = "xx";
String userName = "nnnnn";
String password = "******";
String language = "EN";
JCO.Repository mRepository;
JCO.Client mConnection = JCO.createClient(
               sapClient,
               userName,
               password,
               language,
               hostName,
               systemNumber );
// connect to SAP
mConnection.connect();
// create repository
mRepository = new JCO.Repository( "SAPLookup", mConnection );
// Create function
JCO.Function function = null;
IFunctionTemplate ft = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate("RFC_READ_TABLE");
function = ft.getFunction();
// Obtain parameter list for function
JCO.ParameterList input = function.getImportParameterList();
// Pass function parameters
input.setValue( DBTABLE, "QUERY_TABLE");
input.setValue( "," , "DELIMITER");
//Fill the where clause of the table
JCO.ParameterList tabInput = function.getTableParameterList();
JCO.Table inputTable = tabInput.getTable("OPTIONS");
inputTable.appendRow();
inputTable.setValue(WHERE_CLAUSE,"TEXT");
mConnection.execute( function );
JCO.Table valueSet = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("DATA");
String resultSet = valueSet.getString("WA");
mConnection.disconnect();
return resultSet;

Message mapping: table lookup

The requirement:
Source message contains some keys and values, and target message has different keys. Values are simply mapped. no problem. but the mapping between source message keys and target message keys is a bit complicated so it is controlled in a seperate table. End users do maintainance jobs on the mapping table on a daily base.
I checked some threads in this forum and I now understand that this kind of table lookup can be done using the combination of JCo, ABAP programs and ABAP tables, but what is the common way in dealing with such kind of requirement?

You can use value mapping if you are not looking at picking up values from application system.It is just like SM30 transcation.You can get the info under SAP XI->Design and Configuration->Configuration->Value Mapping.
If you are in SP13 you can use lookup API SAP XI->Design and Configuration->Design->Mapping look ups.

SQL Table Lookup during WhilePrintingRecords phase

Post Author: BrHunt
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Is it possible in Crystal XI to perform a "real-time" SQL table lookup while processing records for printing? Possibly in a user defined function?
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
Below is an extract from SAP Note 490095 - DB6: Additional information on upgrade
XIV/ Converting the table DBTABLOG
< d021078 >----
The table 'DBTABLOG' (among others) is converted for all source releases. Since this table may contain a lot of entries, this conversion may take a very long time.
When you use the upgrade strategy 'resource-minimized', the complete conversion takes place in downtime.
When you use the upgrade strategy 'downtime-minimized', the system proposes the table DBTABLOG for the incremental conversion with ICNV when it reaches a certain size.
The part of the data that is not yet converted (by ICNV) at the beginning of downtime is converted in the PARCONV_UPG phase in downtime.
Note that the maximum size of the log files on the database must at least be as large as the portion of data for the table 'DBTABLOG', which is converted in the PARCONV_UPG phase.
Before the upgrade, find out how large the table 'DBTABLOG' in your system is and check whether the existing entries are also still required after the upgrade. You can delete the entries no longer required in accordance with the instructions contained in Note 41300.
Also there is some information mentioned in SAP note 41300 which can be useful.

BI 7 : Command to export a table structure of SAP R/3 into a script/text ?

Hi All.
Greetings.
Am New to SAP R/3 system. And request help.
We are trying to pull data from SAP R/3 thro Bussiness Objects Data Services into Oracle.
For now : we create a target oracle table looking at the table structure of SAP R/3 from SE 11.
In BODS, We then do the query transformation, and use the oracle target table created by us manually.
This works absolutely fine.
We would like to know the command by which we could export the table structure of any existing table
in SAP R/3 into a script / or to text file,
which we could use to create the same table structure in oracle.
Rather than manually typing some 200 field names for each tables.
Can anyone advise on this.
Thanks
Indu

Hello,
The problem is caused due to the spaces in your directories
C:\SAP Dumps\Core Release SR1 Export_CD1_51019634/DB/ADA/DBSIZE.XML
Replace the spaces with underscores and restart the installation from from scratch.
Cheers

Help on accessing table available in SAP R/3 System

Hi All
A day before I had posted a question regarding the accessing of tables available in SAP R/3 system.
I got the following code as reply. This code is working fine.
But in the below example, the QUERY_TABLE IS BSAUTHORS.
In my case, the QUERY_TABLE is VBKD(Sales Document Table).
When I replace the table name with VBKD in place of BSAUTHORS, I am getting the following error:
ERROR BEGIN----

I am also facing the same issue when using 4-way CPU for processing RFC_READ_TABLE I get following error (Error: DATA_BUFFER_EXCEEDED: Selected fields do not fit into structure DATA) .
when I set the NO_DATA=X in RFC_READ_TABLE then returned data object is empty , is this expected behavior ? if yes then how do we extract data without getting this error .Help is greatly appreciated

How to create table in the sap script

Hi,
How to create a table in the sap script layout, i Have to use table in the main window with 7 columns. can any one send sample code.
How to calculate the number of line items which are displaying in the main window, if the number of line items are exceed in the main window then the amount has to be calculate and print as "BALANCE FORWARD" and the next page had to be displayed as "CARRY FORWARD" that amount. if this is the last page not subsequent page the amount had to be calculated the carry forward amount and total amount and print as "TOTAL AMOUNT". i am creating the new layout and the program is the standrad driver program i have to use and i have to use the standard Text elements only, can any one help me on this issue

hi
good
there is no "pattern" option in SAPscript. All you have at your disposal are the following SAPscript commands: BOX, POSITION and SIZE. Not only are these commands both confusing and tedious to implement, they also are limited in what they can achieve. For instance, although you can suppress a box during printout (by making it conditional), there is no simple way to adjust it dynamically instead. Thus, to divide sequential line items, you may wish to use an underline (ULINE) or simply white space.

How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

Hello,
how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
the text are automatically joined.
But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
a) Where are the text stored?
b) How does the system know of the link?
Hope someone can help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
-> Foreing key with table TVBUR
-> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
U can fined some information in table DD08L.

Sap script '' how to create table frame in sap script"""

i have some problem in sap script'' how to create table frame in sap script"""

Hi,
you can use BOX command..
Syntax
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME both a measurement and a unit of measurement must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be specified as a percentage between 0 and 100.
1. XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
2. WIDTH: Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
3. HEIGHT: Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
4. FRAME: Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
5. INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as % .
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
TW (twip)
PT (point)
IN (inch)
MM (millimeter)
CM (centimeter)
LN (line)
CH (character).
The following conversion factors apply:
1 TW = 1/20 PT
1 PT = 1/72 IN
1 IN = 2.54 CM
1 CM = 10 MM
1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the layout set header
1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set header
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.

Flow of tables information between sap and java

How should i pass the table information from sap to java.
and how to process the data of a table in the java program. i had seen the examples of JCO. BUT I IS VERY CONFUSING (BCOZ I DON'T KNOW JAVA).
PLZ IF U DON'T MIND SEND ME CODE SNIPPET TO
1.GET THE TABLE INTO THE JAVA PROGRAM
2.PROCESSING THE TABLE INFORMATION IN JAVA PROGRAM
3.MODIFYING THE TABLE INFORMATION IN JAVA PROGRAM
4.SENDING BACK THE TABLE TO SAP FROM JAVA PROGRAM

hi,Kondani
as JCO offers both Client side and server Side programming.
you can use JCO to connect SAP ABAP.outbound and inbound.
1) JCO example 5 is about Server side programming java code. And you can see the data mapping is this example.And you must use sm59 to define the connections in SAP before you start.
2) example 1 is about client side programming.
try example 1 first. you can get a table from SAP using BAPI.
Lots of JCO weblog you can see here

Where Clause in Table Lookups for Data Load

Hello,
In Shared Components I created in Data Load Table. In this Data Load Table I added a Table Lookup. On the page to edit the Table Lookup, there is a field called Where Clause. I tried to add a Where Clause to my Table Lookup in this field but it seems that it has no effect on the Data Load process.
Does someone know how to use this Where Clause field?
Thanks,
Seb

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with the where clause being ignored in the table lookup, is this a bug and if so is there a work around?
Thanks in advance
