To Call Another Form and Save Related MAster Data from a Transaction Form

Hi
Our project requires that forms for creating masters be called whenever the value (Key Value) being referenced in other forms are not found. For doing this I had used the When-Validate-Item Trigger and checked for the key value in the master tables and if not present, I use the Call_Form method to call the master form and create the key value and then come back to the Form in which I was working to continue processing the rest of the data.
It works well if the CAlling forms is in INSERT MODE but Not in UPDATE MODE ( returns a message A Calling Form has unapplied Changes, Cannot Save data (Error: FRM-40403)).
This same feature I tried to work it out around with a Key-Next-Item Trigger, it works fine for both the cases but as long as the user tabs out of the field from keyboard controls like the Enter Key or the Tab Key. But in case he wishes to click on the next field or some other button with a mouse OR he uses a keyboard shortcut to do some other operation viz. F10 for saving data, the trigger is not fired and that returns a ORACLE error (in case a database Integration issue arises) OR saves an invalid data.
I would like to know what kind of triggers could we write to exactly call a master form to save a new key value irrespective of whether the calling form is working in INSERT mode or QUERY Mode.
One way to do it is to use EXIT_FORM(DO_COMMIT, NO_ROLLBACK). But if the Primary/Calling form is closed without a Commit, then the related Master DAta is also Not Saved.
Please Let me know if we can save the master data whatever be the state of the CAlling Form permanently.
Thanks and Regards

You are going to need to POST in the Called Form rather than committing (and make sure that you do not rollback when you exit).
The Post will insert the master record into the DB but it will not be committed until you issue the commit in the Calling Form.

Creating Master Data from a transactional text source

hi experts, my internal bw expert is still out and I need help again.
We have a table in bw whose values we are going to push into a DSO so that we can create some reporting on it. However, some of the characteristics on this table exist only as text (for example, end_user). In order to make the reporting meaningful I need to
1) Put the unique values into an infoobject.
2) Create a routine that when I load the transactional values from the table to perform an abap lookup on the master data to find the right "key" value.
Can anyone point me to a guide that can help me out with these tasks?

I will first note that best practices are to not put descriptions into DSO's.   That said, this is how you can do it.
Things to change... you'll want to go against the Text table instead of the attribute table which can be found on the Master Data tab of the InfoObject. Obviously change the name of the fields and variables....

Delete the Business Entity and the Building master data

Dear all ,
Please I need to know the way to delete the Business Entity and the Building master data from the system.

Hi Khairy,
You can allow the deletion of the object(s) at the below mentioned path.
RECACUST -> Tools -> Deletion of Real Estate Objects Without Archiving.
You can go to the relevant master data transaction and get an option to delete in the initial screen, an example is shown below.
Note that there are prerequisites for every type of object deletion.

How to call another form ,if option is entered in a text item object ???

hi ,
I am created an application ,where in i press a button which call another form having a menu .
I select any one of the option from the menu ....i enter a number in the text item object of this form ....depending upon what option i have typed .....i would like to call another form ...
My questions are
1) Which trigger of this text item should be enabled,and what code to i write in this trigger ?
2) Since this form is not having any database insert,delete ,update or query (select)
it should directly go to the new form,whose option i provide in the text item .
Sunny

hey bro, i am assuming that ur text item contains the form name, any relevant trigger can be used for user action, like key-enter, post-change or key-next-item.
to run a form u can use functions call_form or open_form with proper paramters.
if u want to forward the entered text in the item, use global variable for the session.
it doesnt matter if the form contains database items or blocks, all u have to do is run the form.
e.g,
declare
VAR VARCHAR2-------;
begin
/* u can use the variable to concatinate or modify too, also can use global variable
var:=:urblock.uritem;
/* use ur own relevant parameters */
open_form(VAR,ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION);
exception
when---------
end;

Calling another form when current form is in query mode

I have a form that is in query mode. When I select a menu option that calls another form through new_form, I get the error 'FRM-41009: Function key not allowed. Press Ctrl+F1 for list of valid keys.'
I would like trap this error, cancel the query and invoke the new form. I have tried to do this by code similar to this:
if :system.mode = 'enter-query' then
exit_form ;
end if ;
new_form('someform') ;
(since exit_form in query mode is supposed to cancel the query).
But in this case, the trigger ends with the execution of the 'exit_form' statement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

I think the following will work:
When you call the EXIT_FORM builtin, Forms cancels out of Query Mode but also stops the current PL/SQ execution - which is annoying.
I believe, though, that the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger will fire on your Form. Therefore, you can:
1) Set a Global Variable or PL/SQL packaged variable just before you call the EXIT_FORM builtin then
2) Test the value of the Global Variable in the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger and perform the CALL_FORM there.
3) Even better, put the CALL_FORM and associated parameters into a Program Unit on the Form - then you can call it from either the original trigger or the WWA trigger as necessary.
If this does not work, you could resort to:
1) Set a Global Variable just before you call the EXIT_FORM builtin
2) Initiate a TIMER
3) Call the EXIT_FORM builtin
4) In a WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger, check the value of the Global variable. If it's set, Call the Form you want to call
5) Again, put the actual CALL_FORM in a Program Unit so it can easily be called with the correct parameters from wherever you need to call it.
It's annoying that you need to go to these lengths to perform what seems to be such an easy task!
If anyone knows any better ways of achieving this, please add another reply!

A form calls another form

How can I do the similiar thing in Java? I wish 2 make a splash screen n display 4 about 3 seconds n later it unload itself n calls another form.

Calling another form in query only mode

Dear all,
Please clarify me which parameters to use while calling another form in query only mode in
fnd_function.execute.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
According to standard doc:
When you define a form function in the Form Functions window or call an existing form function using FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE or
APP_NAVIGATE.EXECUTE, you can add the string:
QUERY_ONLY=YES
to the string in the Parameters field or in the arguments string (using the other_params argument). This argument causes the form to be
called in query–only mode. The FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE procedure (which is also used by the Oracle Application Object Library
Navigator) sets the QUERY_ONLY flag that sets all database blocks to non–insertable, non–updatable, and non–deletable.
Hope it helps.

Form exits when calling another form

I have a form that passes parameters to another form. When creating new records and then calling the other form, it works fine. However, when coming from a post query and then passes parameters to a new form, the form exits upon calling of the other form. What causes this? Thanks for your help. I am using Forms Developer 6.0
Edited by: user6656248 on Apr 14, 2009 8:30 PM

My form is intermittent, when creating new records, sometimes the other form is called and parameters are passed but sometimes nothing happens and there are no errors. But from post query, calling another form and passing parameters exits the calling form and the called form does not show up. This form calls another form and passes some parameters without problems but when I tried to call another one, those scenarios happen. I am confused because the codes on both my When-Button-Pressed trigger are 100% similar. I dont know why this happens on this one and NEVER on the other. I hope you understand my query. Thanks a lot for responding. Please help.
Here is my code:

Calling another form from current form

Hello everyone,
After entering information into a form, I want to call another form then I want to return to the previous form without loosing the information I entered into it....
Whats the pl/sql code to do this...how do i do it?
Thank u...
Edited by: user10746194 on Jan 16, 2010 9:30 AM

You should put this code at the place where you want to appear the called form. that is the child/first form.
if you want to call the form on button click, place the code in when-button-pressed trigger of the respective button in the first form.

Extend material master data from one plant to another plant

hi,
how can i extend material master data from one plant to another plant.
is there any sap standard transaction for this ie. bdc/t-code.
thanks in advance.......
rahul

Hi
If you want to extend the material form one plant to another then below are the possible options.
1) MM01 - Use the material in the reference and fill in copy from and to then press enter to complete the extention.This is recommended only if you want to extend very less records.
2) Use LSMW and record MM01 thru BDC recording available in LSMW and make the template in excel and convert it to .txt tab delimited format to upload more records.LSMW is the perfect tool and is used extensively in all the projects.
3) Get the help from ABAPer to create upload program and include the BDC recording.
There is no standard T code available in SAP becoz data mainatenance in the material master will be based on the industry.
Hope it will help.
Thanks/Karthik

Hi all,
I have a training client and a production client. The project master data has been created (Tcode CJ01) in training client with multiple levels and WBS. Is there a way to transfer the master data from the training client to another client so there will be no need to create the same project in another client?
Thanks.

Deleted and adjusted the Master data table, sid table and text table

Deleted and adjusted the master data table, sid table and text table of an zinfoobject after removing and adding attributes to that zinfoobject and was trying to activate it and system was giving me messages that cannot activate infoobject something like this.
So, i deleted and adjusted the master data table, sid table and text table. Since then getting messages right after executing the query because in that query that infoobject is getting used.
So the messages i am getting is:
SID 9 for characteristic Zinfoobject could not be converted CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA->_SIDVAL_DIRECT_READ2
System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form MEGA_SORT_M_02-02- (see long text)
Please help me in fixing this whole thing.
Thanks
SAPBW

SAP BW,
After adjusting your Master Data IOBJ and deleting and reloading the data - run a change run to adjust the references to the SIDs and then see if your query runs - run program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN from se38 and select your IOBJ in the next screen..
