UDF data type

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a UDF with data type double or float? I tried on my B1, it only create integer type. Does UDF only support interge data type?
Thanks!
Lan

Hi Lan,
There are two types supported for UDF: Numeric or Units and Totals. Numeric may only support integer but not the other.
Thanks,
Gordon

How to add a UDF with picture data type by using metadata object?

Hi guys,
does anybody have a clue on how to code user fields metadata object (via VB6) in order to add a picture type field? I can't find the enum number for this data type in the DI help file.
Best Regards,
Oki

Hi,
The field type should be BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha , and the subtype BoFldSubTypes.st_Image .
And it is in the DI documentation (look at the SubType property).

Error when trying to set a date type edit field

Hi all
I have an edit text field in a form which is bounded to a date type
database field using dbDataSource.
When i try to set the edit text field value with Today's date by code.
I recieve an error message that the value which
i'm trying to set is not legal. the error number is [131-183].
I use the following code to set the edit field:
If oEditText.Value.Trim = String.Empty Then
            Dim strDate As String
            Dim sboBob As SAPbobsCOM.SBObob =
             oCompany.GetBusinessObjec(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoBridge)
             rs = sboBob.Format_DateToString(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Today)
           strDate = rs.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString().Trim()
Try
       oEditText.Value = strDate
Catch ex As Exception
    SBO_Application.MessageBox("error setting
current date: " & ex.Message)
End Try
End If
My question is how can i set the edit field with a valid value?

Hi!
When writing to EditText.Value you must always use the B1 "DB-Format" as String.
The following examples are assuming (it's a must!) that the EditText-Fields are bound to a corrosponding DataSource (Type Date, Price etc...)
MyDateEditTxt.Value="20080207"
MyPriceEditTxt.Value="1341.79"
The best of it: It's Windows and SBO-GUI-Language independent.
EditText.String must always be written with the format of the actual Language of the SBO-GUI, which can be changed by the user....

Mapping webservice result to a Data Type

Hi,
I receive an array of String objects as a result of a webservice call. These String Objects are XML documents (but as String Object...). How can I take each element of the array and extract all tags values to be mapped to a pre-defined Data Type? Have I to implement a parser in an UDF? How can I do the same mapping for each array cell automatically?
Thanks!

Use a simple XSLT to extract the xml document from a particular string.
Suppose the response XML is like:
<OutputMessage>
<string></string>
</OutputMessage>
Your xslt would be something like:
<xsl:template match="/OutputMessage/string">
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>
If you have more than 1 string, create a root tag and extract all of them inside that tag.

Henrique.

File sender data type

User define function - data type integer

All,
I am defining a udf. I can not select integer data type for an argument.
did anyone facer this issue.
reg

in UDF all the parameters are of the type String only. You can not change them. This is becaue, XI interanlly represents them as strings and maintains the Qs for contexts etc. So you have to type cast them manually to integers inside the UDF.

Udf Data is not being displayed in the report

Hi all,
i have designed one report in which i am displaying some udf fields along with other system fields.
i have not used any selection criteria.
when i run report it doesn't display udf data of some random rows in the report even if data is peresent in that udf field.
If i open sales order and press 'Shift-F2' and update the document and now if i run report then i get that udf value in the report.
why this happening. data is there in the udf field only its not displayed in the report with out updating the that udf.
pls suggest some solution.
regsrds,
Chetan.

Hi Ashish,
I ran the "ZPS/!ZPS" in RSRT where ZPS is the infoset name. In Dev, it displayed the values. In QA, it displayed the below messages:
ECharacteristic 0TCAKYFNM does not exist. Check authorizations
WThere are calculated elements. These results are bracketed [ ]
and below that, it displayed the values for Number of records. But, it has not displayed the values for the other figures.
Does this has any impact in QA.

Questions on Merging Dis-similar Data Types...

I am using Web-I version 11.5.8.834 (We do not use the Crystal Reports module, all of our reports are built with Web-I).
I have two questions:
Question 1: First I am attempting to create a report from two different universes and need to merge a dimension from each universe. The two dimensions have similar data, but one is set up as a "string", and the other universe has the same data set up as a "number". Our IT department creates and maintains the universes and I have requested that one of the dimension data type be changed to match the other, but I am told that other users have already set up reports using these dimensions and to change them at this point might cause a problem with their reports. So my first question is: Can two separate dimensions be setup within a single universe, using the same data field, each having different data types (e.g., a field with numeric data be set up as a "string" and a second dimension be setup as a "number")? If this works, I can make a recommendation to our IT department to do this and I will not have to resort to Question 2. but just in case, here is Question 2:
Question 2: I have two other dimensions that I might be able to use, but it requires creating a variable and "trimming" data off of each of the fields. The first universe is a part number with three alpha characters followed by four numeric characters (PRT1234). The second universe has a serial number, in which the first four characters match the last four characters of the other universe (1234-00111). If I trim off the first three characters from the first universe using a variable (=right([Part_Number];4), and trim off the last six characters from the second universe using a variable (=left([Serial_Number],4), the variables will have matching data. The second question is: Can variables be merged? I've tried, but it isn't working so far. If so, can someone give me some hints on how to do it?

Edited by: Charles Norman on Aug 8, 2008 11:43 AM

Charles,
Can variables be merged?
No, local variables cannot be merged. The manipulation must be performed at the database level via Designer before the data comes across to the report. As an aside, your IT deparatment can create "new" objects just for you, placed in the list under a separate sub-class that manipulates the data to your liking and will not upset other users who already built reports using the original columns of data. I guess my point is that you can have multiple objects placed in your universe that derive from the same column in a given table -- user A has it per their flavor and user B has it per his flavor.
Thanks,
John

Error while transporting a data type

Hello all SAP PI Experts,
I'm trying to transport a data type but I'm getting the below mentioned error.
This is happening even when I gave the proper name of SWCV that contains this data type.
Please suggest how this problem can be solved.
Thanks,

Hi Ajeya,
An easy trick is to open the DataType on your Enterprise Service Builder, and once it is opened, (not edit, just open) go to Tools --Export Design Object
The correct SC will be filled as default.

What are the corresponding Data Types of some MDM Data Types

Hi Guys,
The MDM ABAP API involves creation of a DDIC structure in SRM. This structure should have the same fields with the MDM table fields. We would like to ask the corresponding ABAP Data Types for the following MDM Data Types.
MDM SRM
1. Look up (flat)
2. Look up (taxonomy)
3. Look up (heirarchy)
4. Look up (qualified flat look up)
Any significant inputs on this?
Thanks and regards,

In the above wsdl the collection of fintObjInst if of type xs:anytype. From the wsdl, I do not see the xsd mapping for AccountIC which includes Name and Desc. Due to which, when invoking the web service from a different client like c#(by creating proxy business service), I am unable to set the parameters for AccountIC. I am using JAX-WS stack and WLS 10.3. I have already looked at blog http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohlert/archive/2006/10/jaxws_and_type.html but unable to solve this issue. However, at run time using a tool like SoapUI, when this wsdl is imported, I am able to see all the params related to AccountIC class.
Can some one help me with this.
Thanks,
Sudha.

Did you try adding the the XmlSeeAlso annotation to the webservice
@XmlSeeAlso({<package.name>.AccountIC.class})
This will add the schema for the data type (AccountIC) to the WSDL.
Hope this helps.

Any idea what this errorr means? the data type of the reference does not match the data type of the variable

I am using Veristand 2014, Scan Engine and EtherCat Custom Device. I have not had this error before, but I was trying to deploy my System Definition File (run) to the Target (cRio 9024 with 6 modules) and it failed. It wouldn't even try to communicate with the target. I get the 'connection refused' error.
I created a new Veristand project
I added the Scan Engine and EtherCat custom device.
I changed the IP address and auto-detected my modules
i noticed tat Veristand didn't find one of my modules that was there earlier. (this week)
So, i went to NiMax to make sure software was installed and even reinstalled Scan Engine and Veristand just to make sure.
Now, it finds the module, but when i go to deploy it getsto the last step of deploying the code to the target, and then it fails.
Any thoughts?

Can you deploy if you only have the two 9401 modules in the chassis (no other modules) and in the sysdef? I meant to ask if you could attach your system definition file to the forum post so we can see it as well (sorry for the confusion).
Are you using any of the specialty configurations for the 9401 modules? (ex: counter, PWM, quadrature, etc)
You will probably want to post this on the support page for the Scan Engine/EtherCAT Custom Device: https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/8671
Custom devices aren't officially supported by NI, so technical questions and issues are handled on the above page.

Need to determine data type of free characteristic in multiprovider

Hi,
I need to determine the data type (e.g. numeric vs alpha numberic) of a free characteristic in a multiprovider. Can this be accomplished in BEx Query Designer?
If not, can it be accomplished in RSA1? How?
Thanks,
Kevin

its not possible via Query designer..
give that object name if it is infoobject then you can get via RSD1

IDOC - XI - IDOC scenario. I can't import XSD to Data Type

Helo!
I have some problem with creating data tape. I have to create data type similar to IDOC structure which i imported from SAP system. Similar becouse in this DT I need to add some more elements. Becouse the IDOC structure is large I wont to import IDOC structure to this DT automaticly. I try to eksport XSD structure of my IDOC and then import to data type but i can read the monit:
The tag <element> is not allowed at <<xsd:schema><xsd:element><xsd:element>>.
I'm beginer in XSD so I don't now how to change this file.
Can somebody help me on that or explain whot I can do to make this DT.
Thanks for answer!

Hi,
U can import the IDoc XSD to External defination and use it in your Message Mapping and Interfacing Mapping.
There is no need to create a data type of message type for IDoc.
External Defination
<b>External Definition</b> enables you to import a local WSDL, XSD, or DTD file to the Integration Repository and specify which parts of the schema to be used as a description for a message.
U can use this ED as
1.Inbound/Outbound in the Message Interface.
2.Source/Target structure for the Message Mapping.
In a scenario If there is a necessitity for changing the Occurance of some segment of the IDOC steps u perform is.
1.Import the IDoc to XI.
2.Export the IDoc(i.e XSD format) and save it to the local machine.
3.Make changes to the IDoc structure by modifying the XSD file in the local machine.
4.Save it as an XSD file Itself.
5.Import the XSD file in the IR under the External Defination.
6.Use this XSD in your Message Interface/Mapping which is same as IDoc structure but with some changes that u have made.
Go Thru this Blog <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change Bundling - Trick without BPM</a> BY Michal Krawczyk where the Occurance of the IDoc is changed to 1...Unbounded from 1...999999999 by using the XSD.
