UDF's in Standard CFL

Hi
I have created new UDF's in OITW table, I want to show the new udf values in the Standard Item master CFL.
If anyone having the soulution, then let me know.
Regards
Senthil

Hi Petr,
The problem is the UDF's are created in OITW (Warehouse information) table, so, this will displayed in the Inventory tab of Item master data screen, I go through the Form settings of Item CFL , that will display the UDF's names which was created in the OITM Table.
ANy idea.
Thanks

View source code of UDF's and Standard Functions

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to view the source code written in the UDF's and Standard Functions.
If possible please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Swapna.

Hi,
I dont think u can view the src code for Standard function but try this.
While holding down "ctrl" + "shift" + "0" key click on the standard function.See if u can export it and check for some src

Performance of an UDF v/s standard graphical mapping functions

Hello Experts,
I would like to get your opinion/comments on the performance issues with respect to speed of execution when using graphical functions for doing the date conversion requirement given below:
Requirement is to convert input date u20182008-12-03u2019 from the source side to u201820081203u2019 on the target side.
We have used the standard graphical mapping functions 'substring' & 'replacestring' for doing this conversion as explained here: The u2018substringu2018 function is used to capture the part of the string from the source. A u2018constantu2019 with value u2018u2013u2018 is replaced by u2018constantu2019 (empty value) by using the standard text function u2018replaceStringu2019 in the target side.
We did the same using the following UDF too:
public String convertDate(String dateStringInOriginalFormat) {
            SimpleDateFormat originalFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            SimpleDateFormat newFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
            ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
            Date dateFromString = originalFormatter.parse(
                        dateStringInOriginalFormat, pos);
            String dateStringInNewFormat = newFormatter.format(dateFromString);
            return dateStringInNewFormat;
From a critical performance point of view, which approach will fare better?
Thanks in Advance,
Earnest A Thomas

Hi,
Not only in this case but in general it is always better to use the functions available in MM and only if your requirement is not satisfied with the standard mapping functions then go for UDF.
Also for your requirement no need of going for substring....you can directly use the DateTransform function available.
Source --> DateTransform --> Target

How to make an UDF appear in the CFL list?

Hi,
I am wondering if CFL can display my UDF on an system object. For example, I add an UDF called my_udf in Item Master. When user select item master in other form from an CFL window, how i can let user to be able see my UDF in the CFL window?
Thanks!

Hello
>I am wondering if CFL can display my UDF on an system object.
Yes it is possible
I add an UDF called my_udf in Item Master. When user select item master in other form from an CFL window, how i can let user to be able see my UDF in the CFL window?
1.open Item Master data form in find mode
2. enter * into itemcode, press find
3. press form settings after the CFL has opened
4. select your UDF from the list of avaiable fields
5. press update
6. close CFL and open it again, your UDF of Item Master will be displayed
You can use SDK to add a UDF into an existing / new CFL. DI API oject name: ChooseFromList (same as UI API)
sample code:
Private Sub AddCFL_DI(ByVal objectType As String, ByVal FieldName As String)
        Dim oCFL_DI As SAPbobsCOM.ChooseFromList = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oChooseFromList)
        Try
            If oCFL_DI.GetByKey(objectType) = False Then
                Throw New Exception("CFL not defined")
            End If
            oCFL_DI.ChooseFromList_Lines.Add()
            oCFL_DI.ChooseFromList_Lines.SetCurrentLine(oCFL_DI.ChooseFromList_Lines.Count - 1)
            oCFL_DI.ChooseFromList_Lines.FieldNo = "UDFNAME"
            If oCFL_DI.Update <> 0 Then
                Throw New Exception(oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription)
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            sbo_application.StatusBar.SetText(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

Why UDF doesnu00B4t show a CFL??

Hi all
I have the following problem:
I need to show a chooseFromList (CFL) in an User Define Field (UDF) on Inventory form but I DON´T KNOW HOW TO DO IT
I´m based on sample chooseFromList on SDK help (sample number 17)... but i can´t do it!! (similar code but not work fine).. what i wrong??
Please, I need help.
Thanks in advanced
PS: I use SAP BO 2005 A (6.80.318) SP 01 PL 18

Yes, my steps are following:
1.- Create UserDatasource
2.- Add CFL
3.- Add EditText
4.- Link EditText to DataSource (Databind.setbound)
5.- Link editText to CFL
NOTE: I´m based on SDK sample 17 (chooseFromList) but i can´t do it on Inventory Form (the sample 17 works fine on my PC, but when i "copy" code on my AddOn, the EditText NOT SHOW any CFL )

Lookups on UDFs

We have added some UDFs to Business One (2005 SP01) which we have supporting UDTs for, and the UDFs are used on Document Lines for various document types including POs and AP Invoices.
We would like to provide lookups and validations on these UDFs. One complication is that the list of valid values is conditional on other values on the line, and so may be different from line to line.
One option is combo boxes which would be tidy, but there seems to be no way to change the UDFs to be combo box type fields.
The other option is to create a ChooseFromList object. Is there a good code sample available that illustrates the techniques involved:
- creating a Choose From List on a UDF
- populating it based on particular conditions
- return the selected vale to the originating control
We would be grateful for any help on this.

- validations on UDF: you can add valid values or you can
do this from UI by catching the VALIDATE event and attach
your validation logic to this event. ComboBox looks the
cleanest way of doing it, you could visualize your UDFs
as combos too
- CFL: there is documentation on the e-learning material
available here on SDN and samples too available

Custom search for Catalog based on UDF fields combination

Can we customize in OIM 11g R2 PS1 to search catalog items based on multiple fields (similar to User search scenarios). If someone has to search based on combination of 2-3 custom attributes e.g. UDF fields , is it possible ? do we need to do complex changes in code through Catalog APIs ?
Edited by: Shashi kiran on May 15, 2013 9:45 AM
Edited by: Shashi kiran on May 15, 2013 9:49 AM

In my scenario , i have to customize catalog search with combination of 2-3 attributes including UDF attributes with standard attributes (Application Instance, Role and Entitlement). As, these 3 attributes (Application Instance, Role and Entitlement) are by default out of box ,present for catalog search we can use their combination for catalog search.
But, what if along with these standard attributes ,if there are other custom attribute like UDFs (e.g. : Sub application,Domain,etc) in combination ?
Is this customization for catalog search is possible through UI or do we have to make changes in Source Code exposing catalog APIs to work this scenario out ?

Campo de usuário em tabela de usuário não respeita o tamanho definido

Criei uma tabela de usuário e dentro dela criei 10 campos alfanuméricos com tamanho de 10 posições. Ao executar a procedure SP_HELP no SQL Server para verificar o tamanho dos campos na estrutura da tabela verifiquei que o tamanho foi definido como -1, ou seja, o tamanho do campo não foi corretamente informado pelo B1 na criação da tabela e o SQL Server 2005 acabou por assumir como padrão o tamanho máximo de 4096 bytes.
Se olharmos apenas para a definição da tabela e dos campos no B1 os valores são apresentados corretamente, mas não correspondem aos valores definidos nos metadados do banco. Isso é extremamente problemático pois derruba violentamente a performance das consultas nas tabelas de usuário.
Existe algum workaround que a gente pode utilizar para resolver este problema?
Testamos a criação de tabelas e campos de usuários na versão 2005B, rodando no SQL Server 2005 com as PLs 40, 41 e 42 e nessas três configurações o problema ocorreu sempre da mesma forma, como descrito acima.
Sei que podemos forçar a correção da estrutura de dados das tabelas na mão, pelo comando ALTER TABLE do SQL Server, mas isso será apontado pelo Early Watch? Corremos o risco de perder a garantia do produto?
Qualquer informação que ajudar a solucionar este problema será muito bem aceita.

Oi Vitor,
O problema ainda não foi resolvido. Abrimos um chamado na SAP pois entendemos que este comportamento do SBO não é o correto uma vez que ao definir campos alfanuméricos com o maior tamanho possível, as estruturas (metadados) acabam ficando gigantes e isso joga a performance dos add-ons e consultas formatadas pra baixo.
Você pode reproduzir o problema criando UDFs em tabelas standard ou em UDTs pelo próprio B1. Não precisa criar os campos pelo SDK para que o problema ocorra não. Basta definir o campo do tipo Alfanumérico que, ao executar a SP_HELP no SQL Server você verá a estrutura do seu campo mais ou menos assim:
CAMPO NVARCHAR(-1)
Na documentação do SQL Server é explicado que o -1 representa a capacidade máxima de armazenamento do campo.
Este problema só acontece no SQL Server 2005. No SQL Server 2000 o B1 se comporta bem.

CD-DVD ( Optical Drives ) Common Problems and Solutions

CD/DVD Common Problems…
Dear friends, I have noticed that many laptop users suffering from some common problems. cd/dvd ( Optical Drive ) problems are one of them.. so here I am trying to collect and make available solutions related to cd/dvd drives . Almost all solutions are already advised in previous posts but these are all are in one post. We all are here for sharing problems and solutions. I always appreciate all corrections and additions. In first look optical drive problems seems like hardware problem. These problems have hardware/software both possibility so I request to administrator, to make available this post in both ( hardware – software ) sections. I put only solution links to save forum’s valuable space.
CD-DVD drive called an OPTICAL DRIVE.
CD-DVD discs called A MEDIA
There are 2 possibilities for optical drives problems.
Widows based problems
Hardware based problems

Can't display queue in message mapping

Hi,
I can look at the queue of the source field (the box to the left), but when trying to look at the queue of any other box in the mapping i just get an empty log and an empty queue. It doesn't matter if I use a UDF or a standard function.
I'm working on a PI 7.1 system. Is there anyone who have a suggestion what I can do to get rid of this problem?
Thank you!
/Sten

Sten,
Its very strange. Can you test in test tab and see what you are getting? Also can you copy the mapping to a different name and try your luck. May be the test xml might be wrong. Do a direct mapping and see, if it doesnot work then put a constant and see. If it works with constant and not with a source field then you would have copied the mapping from a different mapping like for each field.
Please note when you copy the mapping for any field from a different mapping, your source field is copied from the mapping from where you copied. So you need to add the source field in your current mapping once again manually. Hope it make sense to you.

Reg message mapping

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement in message mapping.......
i have a field qual in the Customized idoc and the possible valuesfor the field are .......OT,IT,UT and ST...
if the value of QUAL is OTor IT or UT then target should get created and if the value is ST then mapping should not fail and target should not get created...the message should get dropped...
any suggestions please.....
Thanks,
Madhu

Hello Madhu,
               You can achive this using standard functions and UDF, since the standard way you need to use more elements i am specifying below the udf for this.
Select Simple Type (Value).
String rtnValue="false";
if(a.equals("OT")||a.eqauls("IT")||a.equals("UT"))
         rtnvalue="true";
return rtnValue;
and map as below
QUAL->UDF_NODE->CreateIf->target_Node
           or
QUAL->UDF_NODE->IFWithoutElse->target
(This assumes your target node is optional 0..1/unbound occurences)

DI API guidelines question

If I have a table that I have named using my assigned namespace e.g. XXXX_Table1, should the fields contained within this table need to use the namespace convention? i.e should the fields also start with XXXX_ . My understanding is that this is not necessary since no other partner should be messing with any tables not prefixed by their namespace.
I understand that UDFs on standard B1 objects need to start with each partners namespace.
Also, I do not see a DI API guidelines document on the SAP product CD, only user interface guidelines.
Any help is appreciated.

Gopal hi -
yes your assumption is correct. You can find a list of
requirements for an add-on to get certified here on SDN:
this document contains all the rules your solution needs
to comply with.
You can get it from the /icc section of SDN. You can
navigate into that from the KB section in the B1 home
page of SDN. The document you are looking for is called
Test Plan and outlines the certification process, listing
the rules to be checked and the tools used to check them.
The tools are available too: this is the B1TE set of
tools available here for free in SDN.

Event in Matrix with BOM?

Hi expert,
As you can see i'm new in developing and I have e lot of boring questions
Problem is that:
I want to copy from OITM values from UDF into the standard document "Quotation" rows.
So, I want OITM.U_II_001 field value will be copied in field U_II_001 in the matrix of quotation document.
Actually, i trap the event et_VALIDATE. When I insert a New ItemCode the code is executed:
if (pVal.ItemUID == "38" & pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE & pVal.Before_Action == true)
     // ColUID = 1 is "ItemCode"
     if (pVal.ColUID=="1")
          string oValore;
          oValore = ReadItemCode(pVal) ;
          AddNewValueInRow(pVal, oValore);
This code runs well if I add manually single rows in document.
Problem is that: If I add an Item with BOM, the code is not executed for each item in the BOM!
How can I solve the problem? I want to execute the code to fill the UDF fields for each item in BOM too...
Exist other event I need to trap instead of et_VALIDATE?
Could you say me where I can to find this kind of informations?
Thanks in advance,
Jonny Cortonicchi

Thanks for your Interest!
This is the code where I inizialize connections (UI and DI).
Finally I add an event handler to manage the change value for ItemCode in the body of document:
        public QuotationForm()
            SetApplication();
            SetConnectionContext();
            ConnectToCompany();
            SBO_Application.ItemEvent += new SAPbouiCOM._IApplicationEvents_ItemEventEventHandler( SBO_Application_ItemEvent );
This is the code where I trap the et_VALIDATE event for ItemCode column:
private void SBO_Application_ItemEvent( string FormUID, ref SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent )
       BubbleEvent = true;
       if ( ( ( pVal.FormType == 149 & pVal.EventType != SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_UNLOAD ) & ( pVal.Before_Action == true ) ) )
            // Item 38 = Matrix
            if (pVal.ItemUID == "38" & pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE & pVal.Before_Action == true)
                 // ItemCode Column
                 if (pVal.ColUID == "1")
                      string oValore;
                      oValore = ReadItemCode(pVal);
                      AddNewValueInRow(pVal, oValore);
Finally, the two methods.
First to Read the ItemCode inserted in row
The second read data from OITM and fill fields in matrix.
This code read the ItemCode from column 1 of matrix in the quotation form:
        private string ReadItemCode( SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal )
            SAPbouiCOM.Matrix oMatrix;
            SAPbouiCOM.EditText oValore;
            try
                oMatrix = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)oQuotationForm.Items.Item("38").Specific;
                oValore = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oMatrix.Columns.Item("1").Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific;
                return oValore.Value;
            catch (Exception ex)
                SBO_Application.MessageBox("Impossibile leggere ItemCode: " + ex.Message);
                throw;
And this method read from OITM and fill fields in form:
        private void AddNewValueInRow(SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, string oValore)
            SAPbouiCOM.Matrix oMatrix;
            try
                string s;
                SAPbobsCOM.Items oArticoli;
                oMatrix = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)oQuotationForm.Items.Item("38").Specific;
                oArticoli = (SAPbobsCOM.Items)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems);
                oArticoli.GetByKey(oValore);
                s = oArticoli.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_II_001").Value.ToString();
                oMatrix.SetCellWithoutValidation(pVal.Row, "U_II_001", s);
                s = oArticoli.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_II_002").Value.ToString();
                oMatrix.SetCellWithoutValidation(pVal.Row, "U_II_002", s);
                s = oArticoli.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_II_003").Value.ToString();
                oMatrix.SetCellWithoutValidation(pVal.Row, "U_II_003", s);
                s = oArticoli.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_II_004").Value.ToString();
                oMatrix.SetCellWithoutValidation(pVal.Row, "U_II_004", s);
                s = oArticoli.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_II_005").Value.ToString();
                oMatrix.SetCellWithoutValidation(pVal.Row, "U_II_005", s);
            catch (Exception ex)
                SBO_Application.MessageBox("Impossibile Impostare la colonna U_II_001: " + ex.Message);
                throw;
As i wrote, the event et_VALIDATE when the item inserted has a BOM of type MODEL runs only for parent item and NOT for children.

Burning compatible DVD's

Which format will be most reliable if I want DVD's to play in windows media player when inserted into computer drives? When exporting from quick-time conversion, I should use ____ format?
Thank you.

Since you stated you wanted the DVD to play with Windows Media Player, I'll assume you want to create a DVD-Video (DVD-ROM [UDF]). All standard def DVD-Videos use specially formatted MPEG-2 video muxed with either AIFF or AC3/AAC audio. These files can be created by any of the many available encoding programs such as Compressor, DVD-SP, iDVD, Toast, Cleaner, Sorenson Squeeze and many others.
NOTES:
• DVD-Videos may display darker than intended when played on any Windows system due to the Windows gamma settings. If your discs are intended solely for play on Windows PCs, make needed adjustments during the encoding process (this also holds true for other file types for use on Windows systems).
• Windows Media Player and other PC programs designed to play DVD-Video discs seem to be much more picky than stand-alone DVD players in regard to the quality/brand of media used. Always use high quality media such as Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and stay away from poor quality brands such as Memorex.

On a UDF (on a system table) add a CFL (linked to a system table)

Hello,
I added a UDF to OITM, named say "XXX_RootOfPrj". It appears on the standard UDFs panel:
Users should type a project code (OPRJ.PrjCode) here.
For helping them I need to add a ChooseFromList on this UDF, linked to OPRJ.
So I added this line in the UDF definition:
oUserFieldsMD.LinkedTable = "OPRJ";
But when I Add() the UDF I get:
Errore -5002: Il campo 'Tabella collegata' dovrebbe essere formato da 8 car. alfanumerici senza val. standard validi
Which means more or less:
Error -5002: 'Linked table' field should be formed by 8 alphanumeric characters without standard valid values
Maybe is it impossible what I want to do? It's odd that I can link a UDT but not a system table...
Maybe should I use a workaround, like manually attaching a CFL on the form using UI API?

Thanks Edy,
now I got it!
Create a query for the formatted search, like this:
select PrjCode, PrjName
from OPRJ
Add this user query to B1 as a saved query
Open Item Master Data, select your UDF, press Alt + Shift + F2
In the dialog select "Search in Existing User-Defined Values according to Saved Query", click on "Open Saved Query", select the saved query above and you are done.
Now the user can pick a valid project code from a CFL.
Kind regards
